Hat Sizing Chart
Hats offer both style and function. From adding the perfect finishing touch to your outfit to offering sun protection, hats provide endless benefits. However, no matter your favorite style, it's important to make sure a hat fits you correctly before purchasing it.
It is important to note that these size correspondents are not always exactly matching between brands and styles and every hat is a little bit different. We are always happy to measure the inside of a hat you see on our site to your head size to ensure a good fit before shipping your order.
Hat Sizing:
Hat sizing comes in three general sizes.
- The most commonly used sizing you will see here are SM, MD, LG, XL and occasionally 2 & 3X sizes.
- The second most common sizing that we have on our site is that of half-sizes. Meaning there are usually only two sizes: SM/MD, and LG/XL. Occasionally there are 2X sizes as well.
- The more traditional sizing is that of the exact size in inches and/or in centimeters. You will commonly see these sizes on more expensive hats.
Men's and Women's Hat Sizes
Some men's hats come in a one-size-fits-all style, but you'll more commonly find specific size ranges such as S to XL or 6 to 8. This wide range of measurements offers men the ability to choose their favorite style then create a comfortable, custom fit.
Women's hats, which usually come in a one-size-fits-all size, typically fit a head circumference of around 21 1/2 to 22 1/4 inches. Most of the time, women's hats will come with either an interior drawstring or adjustable band to help create more of a tailored fit.
Even though there aren't as many size options, women can — and often do — wear any men's hat style.
How to Measure Your Head
To measure your head and figure out your hat size, you'll want to first grab a measuring tape or a 25-inch string and ruler. Once you've gathered your supplies, follow these three quick and easy steps:
- Measure your head: Using your measuring tape or piece of string, evenly wrap it all the way around your head until it overlaps. Be sure to keep it about 1 inch above your ears for the most accurate measurement.
- Find your size: Once you've obtained your head circumference measurement, take your measuring tape or string and measure the length on your ruler.
- Use the hat size chart: To find your hat size, take your ruler measurement and find the corresponding size on the chart. Usually, these charts will list the measurements in centimeters and inches. The average adult hat size is between 53 and 58 centimeters.
If your measurement falls between two different sizes, we recommend sizing up to the nearest 1/8-inch. You can then use the hat's sizing tape to size your hat down if necessary.
It is important to keep in mind that even though there is an industry standard, each hat manufacturer is different. There can be variations and inconsistencies in sizing depending on what company created the hat. That's why it's important to measure your head and look at the hat's specific sizing chart to ensure you find the perfect fit.

What is UPF?
What Is UPF?
Whether you're out in the sun all day or only on occasion, protection from harmful UV rays is paramount. People are increasingly turning to ultraviolet protection factor clothing, as it helps prevent sunburns and the long-term effects of prolonged sun exposure, including sunspots, premature wrinkles and skin cancer.
In this guide, we'll discuss the definition of UPF and UPF clothing and examine how it compares to the better-known SPF standard. We'll also talk about the benefits of wearing one of the most popular UPF clothing items — hats.
Benefits of UPF
UPF is to clothing what sun protection factor is to sunscreen — it indicates the fraction of UV light that can penetrate a fabric. For instance, a 25 UPF rating means the fabric lets in 1/25, or 4%, of the UV radiation, and a garment with a UPF rating of 50 lets in 1/50, or 2%, of the UV radiation.
The UPF clothing industry has seen remarkable growth in recent years, expanding from mainly practical items to a wider variety of attractive, everyday clothing styles. UPF clothing is now available in thousands of designs by dozens of companies, all of which use treated fabrics, tighter weaves or both to block UV rays more effectively. Some clothing manufacturers specialize in UPF apparel, including Coolibar, UV Skinz and Mott50. Other well-known brands, like Athleta and Uniqlo, also offer UPF items now.
This surge in popularity is partly due to frustrations with sunscreen, which include its uncomfortable greasy feeling, the need to apply it frequently and the risk it may pose to aquatic life. Over recent decades, consumers have become more aware of the dangers of extended exposure to sunlight, which has also contributed to the growing popularity of SPF clothing.
UPF protective clothing, like sunscreen, undergoes testing at independent laboratories, but UPF testing is currently not a requirement. Generally, companies that manufacture and sell UPF items in the United States follow complementary standards established by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists and ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials. Clothing tags will often say the items have a UPF rating, but will not mention whether they have met those standards specifically.
If the tag includes a Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, that shows compliance, but not all companies apply for the distinction.
Laboratories use AATCC and ASTM protocols to gauge the percentage of UV radiation that penetrates a specific fabric. Some UV rays pass through to the skin directly via micro-spaces located between fibers, and the fibers will absorb or deflect other rays. Moisture can also affect a garment's UPF rating, with a dry fabric usually providing more protection than the same piece when it's wet.
Recommended Ratings
Garments with UPF ratings below 15 are not sun-protective. To get the voluntary Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, the item must earn a 30 or higher rating from either the ASTM or AATCC. Any rating above 30 provides sufficient protection, though 50 is the best. While a UPF rating can technically be higher than 50, it won't offer significantly better protection, so garments with ratings above 50 will report it as "50+."
UPF vs. SPF — What's the Difference?
UPF and SPF are both standards for measuring UV protection. Most everyone is familiar with SPF, which has measured sunscreen effectiveness for decades. In contrast, the UPF standard is relatively new and created specifically for rating UV protection offered by fabrics. Originally, sun-protective materials in the United States used SPF ratings, and the UPF standard didn't come into existence until later. Since applying for a UPF rating is not mandatory, many sun-protective clothing manufacturers continue to use the SPF standard.
SPF Rating System
Companies perform SPF testing on humans. SPF measures how long someone can stay under the sun before their skin starts to burn. For instance, if someone starts to get a sunburn after only 10 minutes, if they apply adequate sunscreen with an SPF 15 rating, the sunscreen should give them 150 minutes of sun protection.
It's essential to note that, while sunblocks with the same SPF ratings will provide identical protection from UVB rays, no sunscreen protects you from all UVA rays. Even if a sunscreen claims to protect against UVA rays, the SPF standard currently doesn't measure protection from UVA rays.
While researchers still believe UVB rays primarily cause sunlight-induced skin damage, particularly sunburn, many experts hypothesize UVA rays may be involved in other sun damage types, including wrinkles, aging and skin cancers.
UPF Rating System
Manufacturers of UPF fabrics don't test their effectiveness on human subjects. Instead, they usually use spectrophotometer tools. The UPF rating shows what percentage of UV radiation the clothing's fabric absorbs.
For instance, a garment with a 50 UPF rating lets only 1/50th UV radiation from the sun go through it, meaning the garment will reduce your exposure to radiation by 98% in places the fabric protects.
One advantage the UPF standard has over the SPF standard is that it measures protection against UVB and UVA rays.
Why Get a Hat With UPF Protection?
If you're only going to invest in one clothing item with UPF protection, a hat is perhaps the best choice. Benefits of UPF hats include the following.
- You can still be stylish: If you're new to UPF, you may not realize UPF hats come in a wide variety of styles, meaning you won't have trouble finding a hat design that suits your tastes.
- It provides better protection: UPF hats aren't only an alternative to sunscreen on your face — they offer better protection than sunscreen, as they shield you from UVA and UVB rays.
- There is no need to reapply: Put on your UPF hat and you're good to go — no need to reapply every few hours.
- You won't have to apply sunscreen on your children: If you're the parent of young children, you know how much of a struggle it can be to put sunscreen on them. Having them wear UPF hats will protect their face, ears and neck from harmful sun rays.
- There are no annoyances: By using a UPF hat instead of sunscreen, you don't have to deal with all the irritations associated with sunscreen — your skin won't feel greasy, you'll never have to experience the sting of getting sunscreen in your eyes and you won't have to worry about your protection washing off when you go in the water.
- They're a great choice if you suffer from photosensitivity: Sun sensitivity can result from skin care products, medical conditions and some medications. If you struggle with this condition, consider getting a hat with UPF protection next time you go out in the sun.
- They're more environmentally friendly: As we mentioned earlier, some chemicals used in sunscreens threaten marine life. By choosing SPF hats for your sun protection, you're not only benefiting yourself — you're helping Mother Nature.

How Do I Measure my Hat Size?
How to Measure Your Head Size
Finding the perfect hat is about more than style and function. It's also about fit. When they fit right, hats can complement an outfit and enhance your face. When hats don't fit right, they may end up hidden in a box in the back of your closet. The most stylish hat in the world won't be much use if it's always sliding down over your eyes or tucked out of sight.
If you're eyeing the perfect headwear, it's important to figure out what size you need before you commit to the purchase. Even hats labeled as "one size fits most" aren't always for everyone. The first step to finding the right fit for you is to measure your head accurately and consult the sizing chart above.
You'll want to first grab a measuring tape or a 25-inch string and ruler. Once you've gathered your supplies, follow these three quick and easy steps:
- Measure your head: Using your measuring tape or piece of string, evenly wrap it all the way around your head until it overlaps. Be sure to keep it about 1 inch above your ears for the most accurate measurement.

- Use the hat size chart: To find your hat size, take your ruler measurement and find the corresponding size on the chart. Usually, these charts will list the measurements in centimeters and inches. The average adult hat size is between 53 and 58 centimeters.
- If your measurement falls between two different sizes, we recommend sizing up to the nearest 1/8-inch. You can then use the hat's sizing tape to size your hat down if necessary.
It is important to keep in mind that even though there is an industry standard, each hat manufacturer is different. There can be variations and inconsistencies in sizing depending on what company created the hat. That's why it's important to measure your head and look at the hat's specific sizing chart to ensure you find the perfect fit.
How to Measure Your Hat Size
To determine your correct size, you first need to understand that hats come in three general sizes:
- The most commonly used sizing you will see here are SM, MD, LG, XL and occasionally 2 & 3X sizes.
- The second most common sizing that we have on our site is that of half-sizes. Meaning there are usually only two sizes: SM/MD, and LG/XL. Occasionally there are 2X sizes as well.
- The more traditional sizing is that of the exact size in inches and/or in centimeters. You will commonly see these sizes on more expensive hat
Measuring your head and using the hat sizing chart above will give you a general idea of what size hat you should wear. However, it is important to note that these size correspondents are not always exactly matching between brands and styles and every hat is a little bit different. We are always happy to measure the inside of a hat you see on our site to your head size to ensure a good fit before shipping your order.
At Hats Unlimited, we also have a comprehensive return policy. If you don't get the size quite right or don't like the fit, it's easy to return your hat for a refund or exchange. Our goal is to get you in the right hat for you.
Women's Sizing
When you're choosing a size, you'll also want to consider the differences between a men's hat and a woman's hat. Women's hats are most commonly designed with a one size fits most approach. In general, a women's hat can comfortably fit a woman with a head circumference between 21 1/2 inches and 22 1/4 inches. The variation in sizing is more commonly addressed by manufacturers today, who increasingly include an adjustable band or interior drawstring into their design.
However, there isn't an industry standard for one size fits most, which means that women's hat sizes can vary between manufacturers. What fits comfortably from one brand may be uncomfortable from another. The best way to avoid this problem is to measure your head's circumference and compare that with the measurements the manufacturer provides for each hat you're considering.
Luckily, women can also choose any men's style, and often do, and look very fashionable with the right hat. Since men's hats come in specific sizes, women can measure their heads and use the sizing chart to find a more precise fit.
Men's Sizing
Men's hats often come in very specific sizes. Men's hat sizes can be measured S-XL or with numerical values ranging between 6 and 8. Men's hats may also come in a one size fits most option, and the range of measurements this can accommodate is typically higher than women's sizing.
Once you've measured your head, consult the manufacturer's sizing chart to determine what size you'll want to order. If you're considering a hat that claims to be one size fits most, compare the hat's measurements to your own. It's also a good idea to check to see if the hat comes with features that allow you to adjust the sizing, such as an adjustable band.
While it's difficult to get an exact measurement of every hat we have on Hats Unlimited because there are so many, we try to include measurements we've taken of our most popular hats on the product page.
Tips and Tricks for Measuring Your Hat Size
Measuring for a new hat isn't complicated, but taking an accurate measurement can be crucial to the enjoyment of your new hat. To avoid buying a hat you won't be able to wear, follow these five tips for success.
1. Measure Twice, Buy Once
The old carpenter's adage rings equally true for measuring hats. It can be risky to use the first measurement you take, especially if this is the first time you've measured your head. If you order a hat based on an incorrect measurement, you may be stuck with a hat that isn't comfortable. Avoid this problem by making a point to measure at least twice before you order.
After the first measurement, write down the circumference in both centimeters and inches. Then measure again. If you get the same measurement a second time, you're probably on track. If the numbers come out differently than the first time, measure a third time. The goal is to get the same numbers every time so you can be confident you're buying the right hat.
2. Size up, Not Down
If you measure your head and the measurement comes out in between numbers, it's a good idea to round up to the next 1/8 inch. It might not seem like a lot of variation, but every fraction of an inch can make a big difference when it comes to a comfortable hat.
Sizing down may result in a hat that's too tight. We recommend sizing up because you can always size your hat back down using our Hat Sizing Tape, which you can find on our website. It's important for a hat to fit securely, but there's a difference between a secure fit and a fit that leaves you uncomfortable.
3. Don't Pull the String Tight
If you're using a piece of string or a flexible measuring tape to measure, avoid pulling it too tight once it's wrapped around your head. You don't want it so loose that it's hanging down, but pulling it too tight can also alter your measurements and lead to incorrect sizing.
A good rule of thumb is to pull the string as tight as you'd want the hat to feel resting around your head. Remember that some hats should fit more loosely than others, so factor that into how tight you pull the string, too.
4. Expect Differences Between Manufacturers
Each hat is as unique as the manufacturer that creates it. Unfortunately, while there is an industry standard for hat sizing, manufacturing inconsistencies and supplier variations occur. This is why it's always important to measure and consult the retailer's sizing chart before you purchase a hat.
Relying on the sizing chart for the company that made the hat is the best way to ensure a good fit every time. If you fall in between sizes, or you aren't sure how to read the retailer's chart, contact them for help. Hats Unlimited will also gladly double-check the size of a particular style for you. For help, simply reach out to us through email at email@example.com or by phone at 888-997-4287.
5. Sizing Depends on the Style You Choose
Certain styles of hats are meant to be worn differently. Some hats should fit snugly against your head, while others should be a bit loose. Consider the fit and feel of the hat when you're looking at what size to order. In some cases, this could mean going with a size that's a little bit different than the measurements you took. If you aren't sure, it's a good idea to consult the retailer for advice on sizing.
Common Questions About Hat Sizes
As you measure your head, it's normal to have questions. We've been in the hat business for a long time, so we're familiar with common questions people have when they're trying to size themselves for a hat. Consider some of the following:
1. What Does "One Size Fits Most" Mean?
Women's hats are often sized as a one size fits most hat. This means that there aren't individual sizes, such as S-XL or a numerical equivalent. Instead, these hats are designed to adapt to a range of head circumferences. Some designs may also come with features such as an adjustable band.
To ensure a one size fits most hat will fit you, measure the circumference of your head, then compare it with the measurements of the hat you're considering. If the measurements aren't listed with the product information, you can ask us to measure the hat for you.
In some cases, men's hats may also be sized as a one size fits most. Similar to women's hats, this simply means the hat is designed to fit a range of head sizes and may come with features, such as an elasticized sweatband, to make it more flexible for a wider range of sizes.
2. What's the Average Hat Size for Men and Women?
The average head circumference for adults falls between 53 centimeters and 58 centimeters. On average, a man's hat size will be approximately 59 centimeters, while a woman's average hat size will be 57 centimeters. While it's helpful to know the average hat size, be wary of using this size to determine your own measurements.
Remember that an average is a number that is derived from small, medium and large measurements. It does not reflect the size of the entire population, nor does it account for the variations in fit and feel among different hats.
The only way to ensure an accurate fit when you purchase a hat is to measure your head's circumference and compare it to the available sizes.
3. Can I Guess My Size if I Don't Have a Measuring Tape Handy?
If you've purchased a hat from the same company before, you might be able to take a guess or rely on past measurements to determine what size to buy. However, if you're buying a hat from a different retailer or a different type of hat than what you've purchased previously, beware of making a sizing guess.
Hats are like clothing in that every brand has a slight variation in sizing, and a small miscalculation can make the difference between a perfect fit and a poor one. Even if you don't have access to a measuring tape, most people can find some string and a ruler lying around the house.
Gather these items and use them to take accurate measurements prior to making a purchase. Or, if you're debating a purchase in the store, ask a member of the sales staff for help in sizing.
4. What if I Can't Find My Hat Size?
Most men and women fall somewhere on the hat sizing chart. If you're getting a number that seems off, first make sure your tape measure is correct and isn't twisted. Try measuring again.
If your head is indeed significantly larger or smaller, you may wish to find a hat in the closest size and with an adjustable band or drawstring so you can make the hat fit better. You may also try different manufacturers and styles of hats. Some may fit better, even if you're an atypical size.
Find the Right Hat for Your Face Shape
It's important to find the right fit, but don't stop there. You can also find the right hat for your face shape. The perfect hat for you depends on whether you're rocking a round face, heart-shaped face or a long face. Have a diamond or square-shaped face? We've got hats for that too.
In general, you will want to use these tips to get the right fit for your face shape:
- If your face is long, look for wide brims and brims that cut across the forehead.
- If your face is round, look for angled elements in your hats and hats that reveal more of your face.
- If you have a square-shaped face, floppy hats and wide, straight brims can look very flattering.
- If you have a heart-shaped face, look for hats that aren't too narrow at the crown.
- If you have a diamond face, look for hats that can sit at the back of the head.
While these are good guidelines, don't get too caught up in rules. Ultimately, the key to finding and rocking the perfect hat is confidence. There's no greater feeling than wearing a beautiful hat that feels like it was made for you. That's exactly what you can achieve when you pick the right hat and fit.

Quick Links:
What is a Dropship Item?
Many of our items on the website are "Dropship Items" and we understand this can be confusing to the customer. A Dropship item is something we do not keep a physical inventory of in any of our warehouses or stores; These items are handled, picked and shipped directly from the manufacturer. This does not allow us to process and ship the order based on our time standards and are, instead, up to the mercy of the Dropship company. With over 4,000 unique styles all of which feature different sizes and colors it would be close to impossible for Hats Unlimited to keep physical stock to allow for the most comprehensive catalog on the internet.
Dropship items are annotated with a "DS" in the SKU of the item to indicate to both us and the customer that the item is handled by the manufacturer. The availability of the item also indicates the typical turn around time based off the manufacturer, most manufacturers ship the item the same day it is ordered, however there are some that can take up two weeks to get the item to the customer. Please keep this in mind when placing your order and selecting your shipping options. If you need a dropship item expedited, a call will need to be placed to our customer service line at 888-997-4287 and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

NEW YORK — Kristine McCormick has spent the years after the sudden death of her newborn trying to forget Mother's Day exists. Cora was five days old, seemingly perfect, when an undetected congenital heart defect claimed her as she fed at McCormick's breast on Dec. 6, 2009.
"Every commercial about Mother's Day gifts, every Facebook post reminding people Mother's Day is upcoming and every Mother's Day display at the store are like a new knife blade running over the scar tissue on my heart,'' said the 32-year-old McCormick, who lives in Indianapolis and has been battling secondary infertility since.
For McCormick, who crusades for better newborn screening for heart defects, Mother's Day is more complicated than flowers, imperfect pancakes made by little hands or sparkly new bling from dad. Family-focused holidays can be hard in general for some, but on the merry day set aside for mothers, infertility, the early loss of a mother or a strained relationship due to a mother's incarceration, addiction or mental illness is tender ground.
Let alone the potential strain on singles still looking for love when Mother's Day rolls around, or women living childless by choice who feel the weight of the holiday's marketing machine.
Hope Edelman, 49, is happily married with two daughters, ages 12 and 16, but the loss of her mother 32 years ago lingers. "My daughters want to make Mother's Day about me, but my impulse is to make it about my mother," said Edelman, who was 17 when her mom died of breast cancer.
Edelman found no solace at the time so decided to gather research on the grieving process and the stories of others in her situation for a book, Motherless Daughters, that she first put out 20 years ago and has updated a third time in a recently released new edition.
"We were an unrecognized group," she said of children and teens who lost mothers too young. "I remember when I was in college and all the girls in my dorm invited me to go shopping for Mother's Day cards with them and I had nobody to buy one for. It was a terrible feeling."
Edelman is an associate producer of an HBO documentary to premiere May 12, the day after Mother's Day, called The (Dead Mothers) Club. It focuses on three women whose mothers died during their adolescences and reveals how coming of age without them continues to play out in their lives.
The film includes Rosie O'Donnell, one of the executive producers, Jane Fonda and Molly Shannon speaking candidly about their experiences.
"Mother's Day was horrible," recalled O'Donnell, who was 10 when her mom died of breast cancer, at age 39. "I dreaded it. The teachers tried to accommodate and tried to cushion the blow for us, but when you're making picture frames in fifth grade of hearts and 'I love you, mommy,' all over, and the teacher comes over and says, 'You know, well, maybe you can make one for your grandma,' and everyone in the class knows there's this huge elephant in the room that no one's discussing, and you just feel so much like the weirdo."
Edelman tries to share memories of her mother with her daughters each Mother's Day. Others in her position or suffering from a fresh loss may find comfort in wearing a piece of their mother's jewelry or baking favorite handed-down recipes, she said.
"Trying to push the feelings of loss aside or not acknowledging a mother's importance on that day only adds to our distress," Edelman said. "It can be something very, very simple. I've spoken with women whose mothers loved to garden and they'll just go out and spend an hour in the garden on Mother's Day with their hands in the earth."
Stacey Tarpey, 39, plans to spend Mother's Day at her waitress job, away from her large family in the Fall River, Mass., area that includes seven nieces spread across her four siblings. She has been trying to get pregnant since she was 36 and has done three cycles of IVF to no avail.
"It's difficult for my family to understand because none of them have struggled with infertility. They're supportive, but they still just don't really get it," she said. "You think about it every single day."
For nearly 20 years, Motherless Daughters groups around the country have been getting together the day before Mother's Day, Edelman said. They call it Motherless Daughters Day as a way to honor their mothers and provide women a place of comfort and community during the holiday weekend.
Luncheons this year are scheduled for New Orleans, Detroit, Virginia Beach, Va., and Orange County, Calif., among others that can be found on Edelman's website, Hopeedelman.com .
While coping with loss can be difficult at any age – 1 in 9 Americans lose a parent before they're 20 – the first milestones just after can be the most difficult, for mothers, daughters, sons and fathers.
"I'll never forget that first year and trying to crawl out of bed," McCormick said. "They actually threw a wedding shower for my older sister on Mother's Day and I remember showing up late. My hair was crazy a mess. I probably didn't have on matching clothes, and I just sat there stunned and numb. I didn't know how to react or what to do and later there was criticism that I was snobby. People just don't understand."
Edelman has heard similar feelings from the numerous women she has interviewed and many others who have reached out to her after reading her book.
"The first Mother's Day is inevitably a painful experience, sometimes a soul-searching experience, too, because it reminds them of their own mortality," she said. "And if they don't have children of their own it may leave them with no culturally sanctioned way to commemorate the day."

Roasted spaghetti squashed topped with marinara sauce, grilled chicken, melted mozzarella and some fresh basil. I had a hard time naming this one, but I think you get the point.
I was craving something cheesy for dinner last night, and I had spaghetti squash sitting in my counter without a plan, so I came up with this tasty dish. When my husband heard what I was making, he didn't sound too excited, but after he ate he thought it was pretty good.
If you've never had spaghetti squash before, it's a winter squash that has spaghetti-like strands when you cook it and fluff it with a fork. Does it taste like spaghetti? Well no, it's kind of neutral in flavor, so it takes on the flavor from whatever you season it with. I always have homemade marinara sauce [1]on hand, either in the refrigerator or freezer, which makes quick weeknight meals a snap.
If you want to speed this up, you can microwave the spaghetti squash instead, I provided both instructions below.
For those of you on Weight Watchers, each boat is only 6 points plus and it filled me up. In fact, because it's so light, I may use fresh mozzarella next time I make this so it's even cheesier, this recipe can afford it!
There are so many delicious types of winter squash, including acorn, butternut and spaghetti. Whichever gourd you go for, you can be assured you're making a healthy choice. Winter squash is loaded with vitamins A and C, potassium and fiber. They also contain some folate and thiamin, a B vitamin that helps the body turn carbs into energy. Look for squash with a think, hard skin that's free of blemishes. Make sure it feels heavy for its size—that's a sign of freshness. You can keep squash for up to a month in a cool, dry place.
Baked Spaghetti Squash Chicken Parmesan Boats
Servings: 4 Serving Size: 1 boat • Old Points: 6 pts • Points+: 6 pts
Calories: 326 • Fat: 8 g • Protein: 29 g • Carb: 35 g • Fiber: 7 g • Sugar: 10 g
Sodium: 318.5 mg (without salt)
- 2 small/medium ripe spaghetti squash
- salt and fresh pepper, to taste
- 4 thin chicken cutlets, about 3 oz each
- pinch garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 2 cups quick marinara sauce[2], warm
- 1 cup part skim shredded mozzarella (Polly-o)
Preheat oven to 350°. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and fibers with a spoon. Place on a baking sheet, cut side up and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast about an hour or until the skin gives easily under pressure and the inside is tender.
If you prefer the microwave, cut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and fibers and place on a microwave safe dish and cover. Microwave 8-9 minutes.
Meanwhile, while the squash is roasting, season chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Heat a grill pan (or a George formal grill) over medium-high heat, when hot grill chicken on both sides until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside on a dish.
Remove the spaghetti squash from the oven or microwave and carefully fluff the spaghetti-like strands on each half with a fork, leaving the squash in the shell. Season with salt and pepper, then spoon about 1/4 cup marinara in each boat.
Slice the chicken on the diagonal and place each piece on top of each squash half. Top the chicken with 1/4 cup each of remaining marinara sauce, then top with cheese and place back into the hot oven and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is hot, about 12 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and serve with parmesan cheese on the side if desired.

Bypass the Estate Tax
There are both temporary and permanent rules for federal estate planning. These principles are helpful in creating estate plans, but it is important to understand the potential future changes.
Estate Exemption – For the years 2018 through 2025, the applicable exclusion is in excess of $10 million, indexed for inflation. Thereafter, it will revert to $5 million per estate plus inflationary adjustments. This amount also applies to gifts and to generation skipping transfer taxes.
Estate Tax Rate – Those estates over the exclusion amount will be taxed at 40%. Estate tax equals $345,800 on the first $1,000,000 and 40% of the excess over that amount, reduced by the credit on the applicable exclusion amount. This amount for 2024 is calculated based on a $13.61 million estate and the estate tax that would be payable without the applicable exclusion would be $5,389,800. The $13.61 million number will be adjusted for inflation in future years.
Marital Portability – Under "marital portability," a surviving spouse may have both exclusion amounts available. The applicable exclusion amount for a surviving spouse will be the basic exclusion amount with cost of living increment plus the "deceased spousal unused exclusion amount." The unused exclusion will be the exclusion amount of the deceased spouse in excess of the basic exclusion amount used in the estate of that spouse. The unused exclusion amount will not be adjusted further for inflation. In order to benefit from this provision, the executor must make an irrevocable election on the federal estate tax return of the deceased spouse.
If the deceased spouse transfers all assets to the surviving spouse using the unlimited marital deduction, then the surviving spouse should have available the full value of both exclusions. The amount of exclusion cannot exceed twice the basic exclusion amount and only the remaining exclusion of the last deceased spouse may be utilized.
Gift Taxes – There are two exclusions for gifts during life. Present interest gifts qualify for a $18,000 (in 2024) annual exclusion. This gift exclusion is intended to cover birthday, holiday and other gifts. There is one exclusion for each donor and each donee. For example, a couple with two children may give up to $72,000 to their children in 2024 by using four gift exclusions.
Each person also has a lifetime gift exclusion amount equal to the estate exclusion amount for that year. If the gifts exceed annual exclusion amounts, the balance will be reported on the IRS Gift Tax Return Form 709. The amount of gifts reported on Form 709 will reduce the available estate exemption. Gifts in excess of both the annual exclusions and the lifetime gift applicable exclusion amount will be subject to a 40% gift tax.
Generation Skipping Tax – If a donor transfers property to a grandchild during life or through an estate, there is potentially another transfer tax. The generation skipping tax (GST) is 40% on transfers to grandchildren or great-grandchildren that exceed the GST applicable exclusion amount. This GST exclusion is the same as the estate exclusion amount for the year of the transfer.
Bypass Trusts
Because there is an estate tax with an exemption of $13.61 million in 2024, it will continue to be important for individuals with large estates to create "bypass trusts." The bypass trust is a trust created in the estate of the first spouse to die. It typically will benefit the surviving spouse and the trust principal may then be transferred to children without further estate taxation.
There are two general types of bypass trusts. The conventional bypass trust pays income to the surviving spouse. When he or she passes away, the trust is distributed to children. For individuals who have large IRAs, 401Ks or other qualified pension plans, another option is a "bypass charitable remainder trust."
Bypass Trust Potential Tax Savings
For a couple with larger assets, a bypass trust is created in the estate of the first spouse to pass away. It is typically funded with the amount of the estate exemption. The bypass trust saves future estate tax because the tax in the first estate is offset by the exemption of the first spouse. Because the bypass trust is subject to tax in the first estate (but covered by the estate exemption), it is not taxable in the second estate. While the portability of the marital deduction permits the first spouse to use a simple will and transfer assets to the surviving spouse, a bypass trust permits the appreciation of trust assets during the lifetime of surviving spouse to escape taxation. The savings on this appreciation could be quite substantial in a larger estate.
Assume that there is a $13.61 million exemption per person and Joe and Jane have a $27.22 million estate. They have a simple will with all to the survivor. Joe passes away and transfers his half of the estate to Jane. She then owns all $27.22 million in assets. There is no tax because of the unlimited marital deduction. Joe's executor elects to pass to Jane the $13.61million "deceased spouse unused exemption amount (DSUEA)."
In the years before Jane's death, the estate grew to $30 million and Jane's exemption increased from $13.61 million to $15 million. When Jane passes away, her exemption plus the DSUEA total $28.61 million. However, the estate is $30 million, so $1.39 million of her estate is taxable. The estate tax is equal to 40% of the taxable amount or $501,800.
Bill and Betty also have a $27.22 million estate. However, both of them create plans with a bypass trust. Bill passes away in 2024 and his entire $13.61 million estate is transferred to a bypass trust. The trust is exempt because of the $13.61 million estate exemption. Therefore, Bill's estate pays no estate tax. Betty receives income from the bypass trust for her lifetime. When she passes away, the bypass trust and her estate are each $15 million. Only her estate is subject to tax. With a $15 million estate and a $15 million exemption, the tax is zero. The bypass trust saved a large amount of estate tax.
Bypass Trust Powers
The bypass trust is designed to use the exemption in the first estate and to avoid any tax in the second estate. In order to do this, the trustee must have limited powers to transfer assets to the surviving spouse. If the trustee, who may also be the surviving spouse, can simply transfer the property from the trust for his or her comfort or well-being, there is not an "ascertainable standard" and the trust will be included in his or her estate.
Therefore, the bypass trust typically has a requirement to pay income to the surviving spouse and permission to transfer principal to the surviving spouse under a "health, education, maintenance and support" standard. In essence, there is an "ascertainable standard" that governs the circumstances in which assets may be transferred to the surviving spouse.
It is also permissible to give the trustee a power to invade the trust to the extent of the greater of $5,000 or 5% of trust assets each year. This power is used fairly infrequently because the assets transferred from the bypass trust to the surviving spouse will be subject to estate tax when he or she passes away.
Bypass Trust Pitfalls
There are many benefits of a bypass trust, but there are also some cautions. First, if the family residence is transferred into the bypass trust, it will usually receive a stepped-up basis to the value when the first spouse passes away. If the home does not appreciate, the bypass trust could sell it without paying capital gains tax. However, if the house is held for a period of years and appreciates, the bypass trust does not qualify for the $250,000 capital gain exclusion for sale of a principal residence. Therefore, there could be substantial capital gains tax payable on that residence if sold by the bypass trust.
Second, if there is a blended family that is going to receive the bypass trust remainder, the spouse may attempt to use the "health, education, maintenance and support" standard to invade the trust. For example, if the surviving spouse is from a second marriage and the remainder of the bypass trust is going to children of the first marriage, he or she may attempt to invade the trust and then transfer it to his or her own children.
Finally, there could be conflict between the surviving spouse and a child. If the surviving spouse becomes ill and a child takes over as trustee, the child may be reluctant to provide high quality and expensive care for surviving spouse. This expensive care would deplete the trust and reduce the inheritance of the child. Therefore, this conflict of interest could cause problems.
Rights of the Surviving Spouse
In most cases, the surviving spouse will be trustee and will receive all income from the bypass trust. The surviving spouse will have the right to control the property. If there is a family residence in the trust, he or she will be able to live in the home.
Following the standards set up under the health, education, maintenance and support rule for invasion of principal, a surviving spouse may (with appropriate justification) invade principal. Finally, some trusts permit the surviving spouse the greater of $5,000 or 5% invasion power to take principal from the trust.
Bypass Formula Clause
The bypass trust normally is funded with a formula clause in the estate of the first person to pass away. Within that estate, there will be a fractional share or fixed dollar clause that is designed to allocate the maximum amount to the trust that will avoid federal estate tax. If the exemption equivalent is $13.61 million, that amount is generally allocated to the bypass trust.
The spouses and their counsel should also consider the impact of potential state inheritance or estate taxes. For most states, there will be tax that may be levied even on the first estate. Because the state inheritance and estate tax rates are lower than the federal tax, it may still be appropriate to fully fund the bypass trust. However, counsel and the two spouses should review the state tax impact on their plan.
Retirement Funds to Bypass Trust
If the first spouse to pass away has a majority of his or her estate in taxable retirement funds, it may be necessary to use those assets to fund the bypass trust. It is quite easy to do so through a beneficiary designation for the IRA, 401K or other qualified plan. For a 401K or in a community property state, it is necessary to have a spousal consent to fund the trust. In most cases, counsel will require a spousal consent if a trust is to be funded with an IRA, 401K or other qualified retirement plan.
The potential disadvantage of funding the bypass trust with a taxable retirement plan is that it is a wasting asset. That is, as the qualified plan is paid out to the bypass trust, it is subject to income tax. The federal and state income tax may exceed 40% on the plan payouts.
For example, with a $2 million IRA paid to the bypass trust over ten years, there could be $800,000 in federal and state income tax. The $2 million IRA could be reduced to $1.2 million after tax.
Bypass Charitable Remainder Unitrust
If the estate is fairly substantial, it may be preferable to transfer the IRA, 401K or other qualified plan into a bypass charitable reminder unitrust (CRT).
The bypass CRT is usually a 5% payout unitrust. It may exist for the life of spouse and lives of children, or it may exist for the life of surviving spouse plus a term of up to 20 years for children.
Because the bypass CRT qualifies for the use of the estate exemption and there is a charitable estate deduction for the value of the remainder interest, it may be larger than the typical bypass trust. For example, with a $13.61 million exemption and a $3 million present value of the remainder interest, it may be possible to fund the bypass CRT with $15 million and still have zero estate tax.
The CRT has the benefit of tax-exempt status. It may receive the full distribution from an IRA, 401K or other qualified plan tax free. The full value of the plan may then be invested for the benefit of the surviving spouse and children. The value of the total income distributed over a long period of time may actually be similar to the value of income plus principal in a regular bypass trust. With a regular bypass trust, the IRA or 401K will be depleted by payment of a high income tax rate.
$3 Million IRA to Bypass Trust or to Bypass CRT?
Mary has a $20 million estate. She passes away and transfers her $5 million IRA and other assets into her $13.61 million bypass trust for the benefit of her husband Joe and their son. The IRA is paid out over ten years. There is $1.2 million in income tax paid on the $5 million IRA, leaving $12.41 million in the bypass trust. Joe and the children receive income from $12.41 million for their lifetimes.
Martha also has a $20 million estate. When she dies, she transfers her $5 million IRA and other assets into a $15 million bypass charitable remainder trust. The trust receives a $5 million IRA distribution, but it is tax-exempt. All $15 million is invested to earn income for family for the duration of the lives of surviving spouse Mitchell and their children. This trust will eventually be transferred to charity, but the increased life income to family may offset the future gift to charity.

As a Republican senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe was known for her willingness to stand alone. A moderate with independent views, she had substantial influence in the health care debate as both sides vied for her vote. Earlier this year she left the Senate, out of frustration, she says, with the inability to get anything done.
Her new book, Fighting for Common Ground: How We Can Fix the Stalemate in Congress, is both a political prescription and a personal memoir. In it, she describes growing up and withstanding tragedy; when she was 8, she lost her mother, and a year later, her father died of a heart attack.
Snowe joins NPR's David Greene to talk about how her early difficulties fostered independence, why the Senate's problems aren't institutional, and how a five-day workweek could help Congress get things done.
Interview Highlights
On how she learned of her father's death when she was 9, while attending boarding school
"I ran down to the main building to make a call to the restaurant [where he worked] to have some kind of affirmation. It was a collect call, and the man who answered the phone at the restaurant told the operator ... 'I don't want to tell [her] their father is dead.' And so of course I heard that. ... In those days, many times you could hear the conversation as the operator is negotiating the collect call ... and so the man was obviously caught in a very difficult situation, not realizing, probably, that I was at the other end and could hear it. ... I threw the phone against the wall and ran out of the building, ran up the hill, obviously distraught."
On the independence she learned as a child after her parents died, and how she carried that independence into her career
"[I learned] to stand alone in some ways. Not that I was alone, but nevertheless you feel somewhat on your own at that early age, making decisions — that somebody's not always there to make decisions for you, to think for you, to work through your problems on a day-to-day basis. So it does engender some confidence and the independence that ultimately I derived from those experiences."
On whether her elevated influence during the health care debate is an indication that there's something fundamentally wrong with the U.S. Senate
The institution is flexible and resilient. It's the members of the Senate that have changed the equation, regrettably.
"The United States Senate wasn't designed to be a majority-rule institution. It was designed to include and accommodate the rights of the minority and small states as well as large states. And so I think that the balance is right. ...
"It's actually the human behavior — the institution is flexible and resilient. It's the members of the Senate that have changed the equation, regrettably. If you think about it, how many major events that we've managed to transcend on a bipartisan basis, you know, in the 1990s or in the early 2000s, and think about what we transcended: We had a government shutdown, we had impeachment, we had [a] 50-50 Senate. But we did that because we recognized ultimately that we would have our differences but we could overcome them. And that's what's not happening and transpiring today. It's all about the politics. It's leveraging one's political position to the disadvantage of the other side so that they can advance it in the next election."
On why she left the Senate
"It was a hard, cold reality that descended upon me in a very short period of time, actually, because I had been fully immersed in running for re-election for the better part of two years, and traveling the country and of course my state. So I was essentially in a good place organizationally and financially to win re-election, but I became concerned about the tenor in the Senate and what would transpire over the next six years, and came to the regrettable conclusion that it might not change.
"So then I began thinking about my role and how I could best contribute. Was it better to work on the outside to reaffirm the voices of those people who are so frustrated and want things to change and want their government to work? And I thought that that's where I could best contribute at this stage of my life."
On one of her book's recommendations: a five-day workweek for Congress
"Isn't that amazing? To work a five-day workweek? Because what happens is that, you know, on Mondays — at least in the Senate — Monday night we'd have what you'd call a bed-check vote. Just to get, you know, the machinery of the Senate up and running so that we can start the committee process on Tuesday morning ...
"By Thursday, you know, jet fumes, the smell of jet fumes. ... Everybody's heading home, wanting to know when they can adjourn on Thursday so they can leave. [This] very short version of a workweek makes it very difficult to deal with complex issues. And basically they're not even getting the routine matters of business accomplished. We can't pass a budget, which is preposterous."
On whether she's worried that the gridlock in the Senate can't be fixed
"I don't worry about that. I never think about what I can't do. No, absolutely not. It has to change, for the country. People deserve ... better representation. They deserve institutions that are going to solve problems. That means the president and the Congress have to work hand in glove and override their political differences or their political ambitions for the sake of the country. There's never a point now where they put the politics behind them. I mean, they're already talking about the 2016 presidential campaign! We just had an election. Can we now concentrate on the future of this country?"

The 2012 elections will be remembered for the pivotal role female voters played in re-electing President Obama. But in New Hampshire, it will be remembered as the year women swept all major races.
Democratic Congresswomen-elect Ann McLane Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter will join Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte in the nation's first all-female congressional delegation.
But another Granite State woman who won big Tuesday, Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan, is quick to stress that putting women in top offices is nothing new here.
"We have a history of electing women, and that's partly because we have such a wonderful tradition and culture of citizen participation in all aspects of life," she says.
In 1999, New Hampshire was the first state to have a female governor, Senate president and speaker of the House at the same time. In 2008, New Hampshire elected a female majority to its state Senate.
Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, says this week's sweep in New Hampshire may be the biggest milestone for women in politics since Californians sent Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein to the U.S. Senate in 1992.
"Here you have that next big thing, which is a state that is comfortable to be represented by a 100-percent female delegation," Walsh says.
The women currently in New Hampshire's delegation, Democrat Shaheen and Republican Ayotte, are the only split-party pair of women ever to represent a state in the U.S. Senate. Shaheen is also the first woman ever to be elected both governor and senator. She says New Hampshire's history of female leaders boils down to one thing.
"It really speaks to voters in New Hampshire and their ability to make decisions regardless of gender," Shaheen says.
Shaheen is up for re-election in 2014. She emailed supporters about New Hampshire's all-female sweep, closing with a fundraising pitch. Ayotte, meanwhile, noted that one glass ceiling does remain.
"We haven't had a woman president yet, but here in New Hampshire, it's clear that people are going to judge you based on your qualifications, and that's all we can ask," she says.
New Hampshire was the first state to back a woman in a major party presidential primary, Hillary Clinton in 2008. Come 2016, any number of women may run for president. Expect New Hampshire to give them a fair shot.

This is an original documentation and may be outdated. Actual version of documentation is available from http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/gin-extensibility.html
Gin stands for Generalized Inverted Index and should be considered as a genie, not a drink.
Generalized means that the index does not know which operation it accelerates. It instead works with custom strategies, defined for specific data types (read "Index Method Strategies" in the PostgreSQL documentation). In that sense, Gin is similar to GiST and differs from btree indices, which have predefined, comparison-based operations.
An inverted index is an index structure storing a set of (key, posting list) pairs, where 'posting list' is a set of documents in which the key occurs. (A text document would usually contain many keys.) The primary goal of Gin indices is support for highly scalable, full-text search in PostgreSQL.
Gin consists of a B-tree index constructed over entries (ET, entries tree), where each entry is an element of the indexed value (element of array, lexeme for tsvector) and where each tuple in a leaf page is either a pointer to a B-tree over item pointers (PT, posting tree), or a list of item pointers (PL, posting list) if the tuple is small enough.
Note: There is no delete operation for ET. The reason for this is that from our experience, a set of unique words over a large collection change very rarely. This greatly simplifies the code and concurrency algorithms.
Gin comes with built-in support for one-dimensional arrays (eg. integer[], text[]), but no support for NULL elements. The following operations are available:
=# create index txt_idx on aa using gin(a);
There are often situations when a full-text search returns a very large set of results. Since reading tuples from the disk and sorting them could take a lot of time, this is unacceptable for production. (Note that the search itself is very fast.)
Such queries usually contain very frequent lexemes, so the results are not very helpful. To facilitate execution of such queries Gin has a configurable soft upper limit of the size of the returned set, determined by the 'gin_fuzzy_search_limit' GUC variable. This is set to 0 by default (no limit).
If a non-zero search limit is set, then the returned set is a subset of the whole result set, chosen at random.
"Soft" means that the actual number of returned results could slightly differ from the specified limit, depending on the query and the quality of the system's random number generator.
From experience, a value of 'gin_fuzzy_search_limit' in the thousands (eg. 5000-20000) works well. This means that 'gin_fuzzy_search_limit' will have no effect for queries returning a result set with less tuples than this number.
Opclass interface pseudocode. An example for a Gin opclass can be found in ginarayproc.c.
Datum* extractValue(Datum inputValue, uint32* nentries) Returns an array of Datum of entries of the value to be indexed. nentries should contain the number of returned entries. int compareEntry(Datum a, Datum b) Compares two entries (not the indexing values) Datum* extractQuery(Datum query, uint32* nentries, StrategyNumber n) Returns an array of Datum of entries of the query to be executed. n contains the strategy number of the operation. bool consistent(bool[] check, StrategyNumber n, Datum query) The size of the check array is the same as sizeof of the array returned by extractQuery. Each element of the check array is true if the indexed value has a corresponding entry in the query. i.e. if (check[i] == TRUE) then the i-th entry of the query is present in the indexed value. The Function should return true if the indexed value matches by StrategyNumber and the query.
We appreciate any comments, help and suggestions.
WARNING: index "idx" contains 88395 row versions, but table contains 51812 row versions HINT: Rebuild the index with REINDEX.

Emergency Dental Care
Even with an optimal oral hygiene routine in place, unexpected dental issues can arise. One of the most common problems that result in the need for immediate emergency dental care is teeth sensitivity. Such a situation can result from any of the following:
- Tooth decay
- Cavities

- Abscess

Teeth Cleaning
Teeth cleaning is usually the first service that many of our patients experience. A thorough teeth cleaning helps remove stains and reduces the risk of cavities.
Invisalign utilizes clear teeth aligners that are less noticeable than metal braces. They are also removable, making them an excellent choice for those who prefer versatility. Our dentist may recommend evaluating your Invisalign aligners every few weeks to ensure the process is carried out effectively.
Crowns are covers for your teeth that protect them from further damage. This device is commonly used with treatments designed to cure abscesses because they protect the weakened tooth from cracks and chips. There are several types of crowns, and we suggest that you schedule an appointment so that our dentist can determine if a crown is the right solution for you.
Our dentist and staff work to ensure that all of our services are carried out with proper precision and care.
