Hold a lot stuff in own kitchen
Very efficient since it holds a lot stuff in own kitchen.Read More
great quality for the price...sturdy and very nice lookingRead More
sturdy, easy to maneuver, very functional, a great choice for extra space.Read More
Perfect EXCEPT.....
Perfect size, perfect look BUT the "stainless steel" top scratches so very very easily. Just setting something down on it leaves a mark.Read More
Really love this addition to my basement kitchen. Sturdy, and adds the additional counter space I needed.Read More
Very nice, but online description is inaccurate.
I'd been looking at this island for a long time. We had another one that we liked a lot, but after we moved into this house, I found that it didn't fit as well in my breakfast nook. I knew I could use that little room more often if I had a narrower island in there, but I still wanted the open shelf storage. I kept this one in my Overstock cart for quite a while and finally bought it even though it didn't have any reviews. It went on sale and I had a coupon, though of course today I see that the price has been lowered again. Sigh. Anyway, I thought I'd write a review and maybe help one of my fellow shoppers. The island arrived the other day, and my husband put it together with a minimum of fuss yesterday. I was nervous because the box looked like something had taken a bite out of it, but the island was packaged in an interior box and arrived undamaged. It is a very attractive, solid piece. Looks great in my breakfast nook. I am pretty pleased with it, and it seems to be a quality item. However, there are some inaccuracies in the description. First, the measurements are wrong. The actual measurements are (rounded to nearest quarter inch) 44 1/2" wide, 20 3/4" deep, and 35 1/2" high. The main one that is off is the width, so I wanted to point that out in case a few inches matters. The description also states that the center shelf is adjustable. It is not adjustable: it is fixed. That was kind of a big deal to me: I kept my cookbooks on that shelf of my old island, but I couldn't stand most of them up on this shelf (I laid some on their sides, which works okay, I guess). The shelf height of both of the shelves is only 9" (and a hair), so if you have anything taller than nine inches to put on these shelves, it isn't going to fit. I used to keep a couple of my stockpots and a rice steamer on my old island, but I couldn't put them on this one (I have some wall shelves in the kitchen, so I just rearranged things). Not a big deal, but my old island was the same width and height (but much deeper, so I didn't expect that everything would fit on this smaller one), but I did think that the shelf space (height wise) would be about the same, and since the description said that the center shelf was adjustable, I wasn't too worried about it. I am using the shelves for mixing bowl sets, cookbooks, and a few pieces of shorter cookware (chili pot, two small soup pots, etc). The drawers are roomy, though not really necessary for me; I wish they were shallower to allow for more shelf space, but if you need extra drawer space, they will be useful. The interior measurements of the drawers are 16 1/2" wide x 3 1/2" tall. Although I am disappointed that the shelf space isn't more useful--and I probably wouldn't have ordered if I'd known about the constricting shelf space--I'm not going to return it because it is still a solid, useful piece that looks great and will be plenty functional for my kitchen. I have every reason to believe that it will hold up well and continue to be practical, attractive, and useful. I am docking a star because of the description. I don't know if that came from the manufacturer or from Overstock, but there's no excuse for inaccuracies there, and I have little tolerance for mistakes in product descriptions--online customers have to rely on that information, and it ought to be correct.Read More
Absolutely perfect!
I thought and thought about ordering this kitchen island and am so glad I bought it! I was worried about the width because I have a small kitchen area but it's more like around 45 -46 inches in length. And that just fit into the space perfectly! I had just redone my kitchen with white kitchen cabinets, black countertops and oiled bronzed handles. This had the oil bronzed hardware to match and the stainless top ties in with the appliances, sink, faucet! It has 2 nice big drawers that I needed for silverware and utensils! And the 2 shelves are wonderful for storage too! They look great with baskets! Everyone loves this island as much as my black granite countertop! And that says a lot!Read More
Great service and great purchase
I originally found this cart on tartet.com- purchased it and saw the exact same cart on overstock.com a few days later. I not only saved over $150 on the purchase price, but received the shipment within 1 week versus target's three week turn-around-time on this item. Love the cart, great addition to our kitchen space.Read More
beautiful, solid piece
This island is such a gem. After looking for months for a functional but classy butcher block island in my price range (>$300)...i decided to go with the stainless steel top instead of cheap look-alike butcher tops. I am so pleased, it ties in so well with other stainless products in my kitchen and works well with the wainscoating I have. the top will be a breeze to clean (as opposed to wood tops). As for assembly, it was a moderate challenge for 1 person (who had a 1 year old following my every move). Was able to finish in about 2 hours...but all pieces were in good shape and the directions were more than clear. I give this island an A!Read More
Great Kitchen Island
This is the most attractive, functional kitchen island I have seen. It was easy to put together and I love that it is moveable.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello klouis, the wheels are removable. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
Reviews were good. Open design underneath the shelves is attractive as is the stainless steel top. Its a bit expensive, compared to other similar, and the same one in black is $55 cheaper, but this is the color I need.
the size is just right for my kitchen and the adjustable center shelf will work for my appliances
I like this cart, but want it to be stationary, without casters. How many inches in height would I lose if I didn';t put on the casters?
Hello marcia, this is approximately 32 inches high without the casters. I hope this helps, have a good day!
Please tell me the weight and dimensions of the packaged product?
Hello Fiona, the weight of the packaged product is approximately 119 pounds. The dimensions of the packaged are approximately 14 inches high by 50 inches wide by 26 inches long. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping with us!
Hello, I see in the description that the center shelf is adjustable, but in one of the reviews, the customer said it wasn't, that it was fixed. Can you please confirm the center shelf's adjustability? Thanks! Mary Dailey
Hello MaryCDailey, the shelf is not adjustable. Thank you for shopping with us! TB
The shelf is NOT adjustable.
What is the assembled weight?
Hello Mattschickling, this will weigh approximately 70 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us! TB
Can heavier duty casters be added to current holes? What is the size of the caster stem? How much height is added by using caster that comes with island?
Hello vahomeowner, we cannot recommend any alterations be done to this kitchen cart. Thank you for shopping with us!
Before I order this, I wanted to know the true color of the cart. It looks almost like a greyish-cream color in the picture. I wanted more of a bright white cart. Is it true white?
Hi wilmygirl13, this is an antique white not a bright white. Thanks for shopping with us.
Yes, it is a true white. I have it in my kitchen with white cabinetry-- matches great
If I wanted to substitute a piece of granite (left over from the slabs used for my countertops) for the stainless steel top could I do that?
Thank you for your question annieway. The Savannah White Kitchen Cart is meant to be assembled with the stainless steel top. Any modification to the item voids the manufacturer's warranty. Have a great day.
what are the dimensions of the interior of each drawer?
Hello egoldkamp, The interior dimension for each drawer are 16.25 inches Wide X 12.5 inches Deep X 2.75 inches High. Thanks for shopping with us!
Can you remove the casters from the legs so that the cart doesn't roll.
Unfortunately, this item is out of stock.
Yes. Casters do not lock into the legs
Do the towel bars come off the sides? If so, what is the length not including the towel bars?
The handles can be removed. The cart is 47.25 inches wide not including the towel bars.

You've probably been there. In a doctor's office, being advised to do what you dread exercise. You get that feeling in your gut, acknowledging that, indeed, you should exercise but probably won't. Now imagine that the doctor is your optometrist.
Don't clean your glasses. You read that right. Eye exercises are used to treat a variety of vision disorders, according to Dr. Janice Wensveen, clinical associate professor at the University of Houston's College of Optometry.
Patient reactions to this quite common prescription range between surprise and relief, she said, but doing the therapy can improve their performance at school and work.
"They're curious, especially when we tell them, instead of putting a Band-Aid on it like we do with glasses or contact lenses, we're actually going to solve your problem. You're going to be cured, and that's something we don't very often do," she said.
The standard at-home prescription is known as "pencil push-up therapy," said Wensveen, who practices at the University Eye Institute's Vision Therapy Clinic in the Family Practice Service.
"Patients visually follow a small letter on a pencil as they moved the pencil closer to the nose. The goal is to be able to keep the letter clear and single until it touches your nose."
Not surprisingly, she said, many patients don't follow through once they're out the door.
"You can imagine that, in the doctor's office, it sounds great, and you can do it. You think, 'Wow, this can help me?' But you get home, and you do it. You think, 'This is really dumb.' You do it once, and you never do it again," she said.
In fact, a study released in the fall by the National Eye Institute (NEI) found that office-based treatment for patients with a common eye muscle coordination disorder, along with at-home reinforcement, is more effective than home-based programs in isolation. The research, reported in the Archives of Ophthal

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Week two - goal buster
Posted By: Jan
Hi everybody -
Well week two was easier than week one but it was sure an eye opener that with just two days of no red meat the old aches and pains and fatigue set in. My husband has noticed a difference in my well being as well so it isn't just me. My best fried, an A, started the plan and got the euphoric engergizer bunny feeling that I had on the O plan - sooooo - all of you A's it is there for you, too!!!!! She got out her juicer, dusted it off and has been doing 16 oz of fresh veggie juice twice a day plus eating the HB and neutrals and is feeling great.
This week has produced 2 more pounds down and more energy surges. If I can get to a point where I feel that good all of the time and have no pain I will never even miss eating potato or corn or wheat ( I don't really miss them now) ever ever again.
My challenge this week is that we are going out of town on a semi camping thing with another couple so ER4YT will be a little more of a challenge but will do my darndest to agglutinate (or stick with it).
I concur that NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS FEELING GOOD FEELS!
Thank you all for your continued support and humor. You are all super.
Love and love and more,

Tobias Enstrom D WPG 5 months ago
Enstrom underwent shoulder surgery on Monday, tsn.ca reports.
Enstrom, who notched 23 points and 36 PIM in 60 games for the Jets this past season, now has the full offseason to recovery from the procedure and is in line to be ready for training camp this coming September.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 6 months ago
Enstrom (upper body) will play in Saturday's regular-season finale against the Flames.
After missing the last three games, Enstrom will get a tune-up before the beginning of the playoffs. It's possible he doesn't get his normal allotment of ice time, as the Jets don't have much to play for Saturday afternoon.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 6 months ago
Enstrom (upper body) is in line to miss Thursday's game against the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Enstrom was skating next to the suspended Dustin Byfuglien as part of a non-regular pairing during the Jets' morning skate, which is enough evidence to suggest he won't be playing Thursday. The upper-body injury will cost Enstrom a third consecutive game, but his presence on the ice Thursday gives him a shot at playing in Saturday's regular-season finale against the Flames.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 6 months ago
Enstrom (upper body) won't play Tuesday against the Blues, Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
While Enstrom will sit out a second straight game, coach Paul Maurice indicated the blueliner is still being viewed as day-to-day. Enstrom is expected to resume skating Wednesday, after which the Jets might have a better gauge on if he'll be able to play in either or both of the team's remaining two regular-season contests.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 6 months ago
Enstrom (upper body) remains day-to-day.
"(He's) where he was yesterday," coach Paul Maurice noted of Enstrom on Monday. "We'll monitor him day by day here, and as soon as he feels strong enough we'll get him back on the ice in practice and see how he feels." With Enstrom out, Ben Chiarot is slated to re-join the Jets' lineup Monday against the Wild.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 6 months ago
Enstrom (upper body) is day-to-day, Jim Toth of 680 CJOB Sports reports.
Enstrom left Saturday's game against the Canucks in the third period, and he was unable to return to the contest. If Enstrom can't play in Monday's game against the Wild, he'll likely be replaced in the lineup by Ben Chiarot (hand), who was activated Sunday from injured reserve. Monday's game is a must-win for the Jets, so Enstrom will surely do everything in his power to get back on the ice.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 6 months ago
Enstrom appeared to suffer an upper-body injury late in the third period of Saturday's win over the Canucks and didn't return, 680 CJOB Sports reports.
Enstrom headed to the locker room after he was tangled up with the Canucks' Derek Dorsett and fell awkwardly to the ice. Per Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press, it looked as though Enstrom hurt his shoulder, but the Jets have yet to disclose the nature of the blueliner's injury. He should be viewed as day-to-day until further updates are provided.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 6 months ago
Enstrom contributed a power-play assist to Monday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
The Jets, winners of five straight games, are giving Enstrom an average of 3:12 PP TOI per game this season, and he's used that time to produce seven man-advantage points. Arguably more than any other peripheral stat, Enstrom is helping his fantasy owners with a plus-10 rating. The veteran blueliner dealt with a lower-body injury that crept up on him last November and lasted into the New Year, but he appears no worse for the wear as he's been moderately productive and has three assists over the past five games.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 7 months ago
Although Enstrom did not participate in practice on Monday, he isn't in any danger of missing Tuesday's contest against the Sharks, Tim Campbell of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Enstrom had to leave Saturday's game against the Lightning briefly to have his face stitched up after being hit hard from behind by Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov. While he may be a bit banged up at the moment, Enstrom will be in the Jets' lineup for Tuesday's game against San Jose. He's tallied four goals and 15 assists in 50 games this season.
Tobias Enstrom D WPG 8 months ago
Enstrom tallied two assists in Monday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.Enstrom hasn't chipped in much offensively this season as he's recorded just four points in his last 15 games after the two helpers on Monday. With just 17 points in 40 games, the blueliner is probably best served in leagues with deeper formats.

Michael Irving spent years constructing a $1.5 million memorial to victims of child abuse, remortgaging his home and cashing in his RRSPs to make it happen. The memorial includes hand prints of many child abuse victims, including some victimized at Maple Leaf Gardens. He has been trying for the past five years to have the memorial placed on the grounds of Queen's Park, but he says ministers keep passing his request off to other departments, without giving him a clear answer.

Love it! A feature request - if it let me set a default recur period, as i send everything weekly, which would require one less click
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
A great addon, unfortunately clashes with "Mnenhy" (which is the only addon which fixes the header up to TB38.1 on all my copies)This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.4.3).
Fixed in release 4.4.4
The incompatibility with Mnenhy is fixed in release 4.4.4.

Great add-on. Working on different timezones made my communication easier.
Just a feature suggestion:
Auto shutdown PC after all email are sent.
Excellent work - thank you! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Just to say thank you for the hard work. I work for clients all around the globe with so many different time zones and this addon makes life so much easier. I use this addon for the past 2-3 years without any flaws. Works also perfectly together with Mail Merge.
I do like the interface, and all functionality is logic once you give it a try and play around a bit. Powerful addon!
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Love it! A feature request: If I set up an e-mail to be sent regularly (daily/weekly/whatever), it would be nice to be able to give a stopping date.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.4.1).
Good idea!
I'll add it to my to-do list.
Awesome Add On Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thank you, this add-on makes my life a lot easier. I work late at night and don't want my clients getting emails at 3 am so I use Send Later to deliver emails to them during the normal workday. Works great, no issues, love it!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.4.1).
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I like the functionality. But I dislike the weird design of the dialogue window. Please make it possible to use colours and fonts/font sizes according to current system settings. I believe, the dialogue could be redisigned to look a lot simpler.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.4).
"Send Later," an essential e-mail business tool Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Few e-mail messages are so urgent that they must be sent immediately. In contrast and often far too often, many e-mail messages are sent before they're error free. With "Send Later" add-on I regularly delay the sending of most of my messages by an hour, so I have an opportunity to grab it back and make corrections, should I later realize a mistake. Most of the time the messages go out without revision, but for those few times when I realize I've made a blunder, "send later" has saved me lots of embarrassment. "Send Later" is a tool that I use every day.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.4).
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This looked pretty good at first, but the interface of the schedule dialog could be much clearer. Instead of "send to outbox" and "send now", it should only have a "schedule for send" button. I clicked the "send now" thinking that would send it as a schedule message. An email just went out Friday night instead of Monday morning... Why have a true "send now" button when you wouldn't even use this addon's functionality when sending a regular, non-scheduled email?
reply to @jikamens
Okay, that makes sense. Thanks!
Can't please everyone
I have tried various different layouts for the prompt window, and no matter what I do, somebody complains. At some point all that's left to do is to find the interface design that seems to provoke the fewest complaints, and do my best to document it for the few people who are still confused.
I'm not sure how to make it more obvious than it is now -- the "Put in Outbox" and "Send Now" buttons are in an entirely separate box in the dialog, outlined in red, and the button for scheduling a message is labeled "Send Later at time(s) specified above" -- without making the interface more clunky rather than less.
I understand that some people do not find the interface entirely intuitive. That is why there's a user guide as well as detailed, explanatory tooltips that pop up when you hover over the buttons.
The "Put in Outbox" and "Send Now" buttons are there because people use them. "Put in Outbox" is necessary because when Send Later is installed, that button is the only way to put a message into the Outbox. "Send Now" is necessary because some configure their "Send" button to _always_ pop up the Send Later dialog, and they need the option when the dialog pops up of sending the message now rather than scheduling it for later.
Amazing tool Rated 5 out of 5 stars
As a graphic designer I often find myself working really late at night, and nowadays with the help of the smartphones if you send an email at 3 am it's very likely that you wake up your client, also if you send emails at late hours you can send the wrong impression that you are free to work at whatever time they desire, so in order to protect myself and the rest and peace of my clients I started looking for a way to send my emails early in the morning while I'm trying to get 5 hrs of sleep, and I found this amazing add-on, I'm in love with it, just today it help me sent 6 emails at 8 am while I was getting my beauty sleep, xD, download it and try it, you won't regret it!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.3.1).
great addon to send mails later Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I really like the functionality, this addon provides. Works great. A big THANK YOU!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.3.1).
Great product, very helpful Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I have been using this add on for several years and am very pleased with it's functionality and ease of use. It is a nice tool to use to send to people messages when they may get notification at odd hours or if you are up late and don't want to advertise that fact. I have donated to the program and would encourage you to also to keep it being updated and improved.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.3.1).
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Very nice! Would be even nicer if I had the option to configure
-Send tomorrow morning at 9:00
With ONE button. I believe I would use it all the time
See user guide
The user guide (http://blog.kamens.us/send-later/) shows how to set this up.
It does require some manual configuration, but I'm not sure how to avoid that. Everyone wants something slightly different from the add-on, and if I tried to make everything everybody requested point-and-click, the add-on would be too large, unwieldy, and difficult to use.
Very necessary Add-On Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I use Mozilla Thunderbird 24.5.0.
Function "Send Later" was necessary.
IMHO developers Mozilla Thunderbird
it is necessary to add this possibility.
By means of "Send Later 4.2.3" I have solved this problem.
All works perfectly. Five stars from me
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
is great, but CMD + SHIFT + RETURN (in Mac is command, not control), is hard to remember and not very usable... an icon on the message menu would be great.
Thanks and keep up the great work,
Great Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thank you to the developer because this add-on is mandatory for my life. I routinely write messages at 2AM to be sent out during "normal business hours" later that day. I would need to stop using T-Bird if this extension were not available. Frankly I don't know what I would do because no other email client does what I need (Gmail isn't an option).
I haven't had any issues regarding "spamming" or multiple sends. I will update this review if I do. I only have SendLater check the drafts box every 10 or so minutes, however -- not every minute. I don't need to specify the exact time that emails need to be sent. Perhaps changing that default value might help?
I ran T-bird 2.0 for years, then two years ago switched to 3.1, and only a week ago switched to the latest version. I am wary of "upgrades" because my email system needs to be absolutely bomb-proof or I stand to lose a great deal of money. I used the Mail Tweaks "Defer" add-on for years which worked fine, but this seems to have more options and I'm looking forward to integrating it into my business and my life.

ADS-B Buyers' Guide
Today's solutions for tomorrow's mandate
Avidyne EX600; Appareo and Sporty's Stratus
Evaluating ADS-B Solutions
"In" and "Out." ADS-B has an "In" and "Out" component, and not all ADS-B products have both. ADS-B Out transmits an aircraft's location, its registration number, speed, track and altitude; aircraft must have a certified product with this Out capability by 2020. Weather and traffic data sent via ADS-B ground station network in the U.S. can be received by aircraft equipped with appropriate ADS-B In receiver.
978 UAT and 1090ES. ADS-B has two operational frequencies: 978 and 1090 MHz. Weather and ATC traffic information is sent from ground stations and received in the aircraft via the 978 MHz Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) channel, only available in the U.S. The 1090 MHz Extended Squitter (ES) channel sends and receives only traffic information. An ADS-B solution may use the 978 or 1090 MHz channel, or both. In the U.S., come 2020, aircraft flying below 18,000 feet can use either a 978 or 1090 Out to meet the ADS-B requirement; aircraft flying at 18,000 feet and above (or operating outside the U.S.) will be required to use the 1090 Out.
Display devices. Depending on the ADS-B solution chosen, data received by aircraft equipped with ADS-B In receiver(s) can be displayed on an installed multifunction display (MFD), compatible portable GPS, or iOS, Android or PC/Windows mobile device. Display devices are typically not included with the ADS-B solution. The connection between the hardware and the display may be wireless via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, or hard-wired or cabled.
EFB apps. Whether displayed on an MFD or mobile device, the ADS-B data is presented through an electronic flight bag (EFB) application, either developed by the hardware manufacturer (as with Garmin's Garmin Pilot app) or by a third party (such as ForeFlight and WingX). There's little cross-platform compatibility, and EFB app providers may be married to a single or small number of ADS-B hardware platforms. If you're attracted to a certain EFB app, choose the equipment that supports that app. If you're driven by hardware, make sure you're comfortable using the EFB apps
it supports.
Traffic. Some ADS-B solutions provide traffic information. In portable products, this comes with several asterisks: Only aircraft equipped with a certified ADS-B Out matching the receiver's In capability (i.e., 978 or 1090 MHz) will be displayed, unless near a ground station that the certified ADS-B Out signal triggers, which sends a burst of ATC traffic data from a ground station that non-certified units can receive and display.
Price. If you're waiting for prices to come down on certified or portable ADS-B products before buying, don't. Prices are unlikely to decline as they do with large screen TVs or other electronics that sell volumes in the millions. Some uncertified ADS-B products sold today promise a free upgrade when certification is completed, enabling users to take advantage of ADS-B today, and have a no-cost path (besides installation) to meeting the ADS-B mandate tomorrow.

5 Gender-Based Myths about "Good" Parents
5 Gender-Based Myths about "Good" Parents
There are lots of ways that parenting is breaking through divisive gender expectations, particularly for men.
I see dads walking through the mall holding onto princess tote bags and wearing tiaras.
I know full-time single fathers that are absolutely dominating this whole parenting deal with no physical or financial assistance from the other parent.
I absolutely know father figures that are at least as active in their children's lives as the mothers.
All of which deserve to be celebrated – both for breaking gender stereotypes and even more importantly, for that child having an awesome caregiver regardless of what their gender is.
It's great that more and more guys are taking on (if slowly in some cases) more nurturing parental roles that defy traditional gender expectations for fathers, which are focused on primarily earning money and being the disciplinarian.
Women, on the other hand, can still often feel trapped in the traditional expectation that good parenting naturally correlates with their genitalia.
Basically, cultural generalizations say that women are born to bear children so they should be naturals at raising them, and men are not so they are bound to suck at it.
This stereotype makes it more difficult for both men and women to be good parents.
And parenting is hard enough without having to deal with society making assumptions and judgments about you and your ability to do it well based on your gender.
So let's unpack some myths about parenting I've encountered through personal one-on-one conversations, group forums, and informal surveys I personally circulated for my own curiosity.
Myth #1: Most kids don't have fathers. So a man being in the same room with his child makes him an exceptional parent.
This myth comes first and foremost because it is one of the most frequently reiterated fallacies that most kids don't have dads. Search and search though I might, no such statistic has been published to date.
Instead according to the National Fatherhood Initiative, approximately 33% of children currently live in homes without biological fathers – including military families split by deployment, cases of deceased or unknown fathers, and orphans that actually don't have either parent.
Gut reaction – that is 33% or 24 million kids too many. It's heart-wrenching and awful, but it is also severely less than 51%.
Everyday there are dads that are way more interactive with their kids than the sofa. Men are capable of being awesome parents and setting their expectations low is insulting.
It also works to place the bulk of parenting responsibility on women, which can stunt their ability to reach fulfilling self-actualization that could provide personal balance and insight to make them more well-rounded parents.
Myth #2: Moms and dads get treated equally as parents by society.
In some situations, sure. Maybe married couples experience greater equality of parental expectations from society than split couples or single parents, but every single family and situation is unique.
It is that very uniqueness that means gender discussions can never be complete – they have to be conversations, fluid and ongoing and flexible.
One topic for consideration is the fact that local surveys I circulated in Wisconsin showed discrepancies in the way male and female parents are treated or at least in how they think they are treated.
First of all, women were more likely to seek out information from experienced parents and outside sources such as books and credible websites. Women also reported more specific and personal questions and comments on their lifestyle (such as marriage, custody, and living situations), their ability to parent, and the perceived effectiveness of their parenting.
Men, on the other hand, reported almost exclusively positive input on their children's behavior and appearance and on their overall parenting ability, if they could even recall receiving input at all.
What this kind of outlook creates for many mothers is a frantic state of constant stress and self-doubt no matter how phenomenal they actually are as parents. Many women feel pressured to anticipate every potential prying judgment complete strangers might make on their kids and parenting abilities.
Women who are absolutely, hands-down amazing parents constantly researching various parenting techniques, the best educational and recreational programs in their area, doing background checks on babysitters, taking their kids to swim lessons, creating open and honest discourse from birth, and cutting out personal lives, personal expenses, personal time . . . they are saying things like, "Well, I hope I don't screw up too badly" and "I hope I'm doing something right."
For the moms who are putting themselves through school and wearing clothes until the threads melt off their body (or the residual food-flung residue of silverware training begins to physically revolt) or working multiple full-time jobs so their kids can get into private schools, it can be absolutely crushing to be told that . . . "You really should clip their nails shorter (or not quite so short)" or "That fabric really isn't ideal" or "Are you sure he should play with dolls?"
Meanwhile, a father might be playing violent video games with a beer in his hands surrounded by sailor-mouthed companions, but because he is doing so with a newborn within three feet of him, the guy is heralded.
On the other hand, dads that do make a conscious effort to be active in their kids lives are sometimes ignored or passed over by others like teachers, day care centers, and other caregivers.
For instance, if both parents show up to a parent-teacher conference, the woman is far more likely to be approached regarding their children and men are often ignored.
This type of discrepancy can crush women and stunt men.
Myth #3: Women are naturally more responsible and better at child-rearing because their bodies say so.
This myth is derivative of a lot of different cultural messages being whirred around us lately. It's based on this notion that biology made the sexes different, which is physically true.
The kink in the logic, however, occurs when those biological differences are dichotomized and assumed to directly correlate with gender.
Or said in plain English, females are best are raising children and males suck at it primarily because of their gender.
Which is false. While women and trans* folks with uteruses are able to bear children and men aren't, that's about where having a physical body part and parenting-related ability causation ends.
Gender doesn't cause or imply innate or inherent parenting ability.
From a young age, females are indeed socialized to focus on caregiving from playing with dolls and babysitting whereas males are socialized against it as being "girly" or "for women only."
So it often plays out that more women than men are comfortable with being a nurturing parent.
But that doesn't mean either gender is innately better or worse at parenting simply due to their gender. It's a lot more complex than that.
There are definitely women who are just not cut out to be moms. Many responsibly opt out of parenting while others parent poorly. In fact, 40% of child abuse and neglect comes from mothers and only 18% from fathers.
There are great mothers and terrible mothers, great fathers and terrible fathers, and an entire spectrum of intermediate possibilities.
Myth #4: Pregnancy is only a blessing in marriage and a punishment for the unmarried woman's promiscuity.
The granddaddy of all myths – this one tormented my own personal experiences and according to my surveys, had similar detrimental effects on other single mothers.
I waitressed throughout my pregnancy, which apparently made me a walking survey on lifestyle choices. I would stand at tables earning my $2.33/hour just to hear, "Are you married?" "Engaged!?" "Where is the father?" "What are you doing with your life?" "But you are going to marry him, right?"
From college-aged co-workers, "I think when I get pregnant, I'll get married first."
Brilliant. At 21 years old just as I was about to enter one of the most prestigious undergraduate creative writing programs in the country I just thought, "Gee! Now seems like just the perfect time to cook up a kid!"
Although it wasn't the most convenient occurrence in my life, (nor was getting a phone call at the dawn of my third trimester from the girl my boyfriend was sleeping with . . . ) it has honestly and miraculously transformed me into one of the strongest, most ambitious, tenacious people I have ever met.
I know it's cliché to say that becoming a mother magically changed me – which is fine because it didn't.
Making difficult decisions daily that called into question my morals, values, strengths, weaknesses, my dedication to another person for the rest of my life, learning that forgiveness doesn't have to be naïve or amnesic – that magically transformed me into someone who also happened to be quite happily raising a child.
I've never been a married parent. Lots of them are happy. Some of them are not. Same as unmarried parents and non-traditional households.
Giving birth to a human life is not inherently a blessing or a curse. Just like every single possible occurrence on this planet, it can be a billion different experiences for a billion different people.
The Myth of Myths – There's only one way to be a "good" parent
The reason there are myths about parenting is the same reason there are myths about gender and stereotypes about race – we keep ignoring the vast and phenomenal individuality of humanity.
As a parent and a person, I firmly believe that everybody that decides to parent a child should do so whole-heartedly and selflessly.
Cultural expectations should not be based around hetero-normative, confining gender roles because "traditional" parenting itself is a myth.
There are plenty of dysfunctional nuclear families (mom + dad + kids) with all of the presumably right parts. It is damaging to everyone involved to impose gender expectations on parents and guardians.
Single parent households and non-traditional families have proven their ability to produce some pretty amazing offspring (remember Zach Wahls schooling us on preconceived notions concerning gay marriage/families?) .
Perpetuating gendered expectations on parents drive deeper than just perpetuating unbalanced perceptions of heterosexual partnerships. They perpetuate stereotypes that inhibit a whole spectrum of strong, amazing families from operating smoothly.
What actually matters is that anyone who is going to play an active role in a child's life needs to dedicate themselves to that cause.
Any society that cares about its future generations needs to support the families that are putting forth the time, love, and energy necessary to care for children – regardless of what they look like or which boxes they check on paperwork.

Myth number 3 is incorrect. Women are more likely to be better nurturers because of brain chemistry. Not every woman will fit the mold, but more do than don't. It doesn't have to do with how girls are raised in relation to boys.
I agree with kailu. Hasnt it been proven that women have the genetic makeup for child rearing that men do not? Obviously it doesnt apply to everyone but in general. im gonna go off to google lol i could have sworn this was an actual study that was proven.
Quoting kailu1835:
Myth number 3 is incorrect. Women are more likely to be better nurturers because of brain chemistry. Not every woman will fit the mold, but more do than don't. It doesn't have to do with how girls are raised in relation to boys.
Agreed. Common sense tells us that not all scenarios are this, but on the overall I agree with this. I can't deny my fiancée relates very different t o our son then I do. He is more hands on, lets throw the ball, watch a movie, fly planes, build a Lego robot, etc. I am more intuitive to the emotional parts. I will remember to commend him for a good game, where his father will just coach it. I will be more apt to rub his head while watching the movie, where his Dad is more apt to laugh about a part and/or scream did you see that Jay! I will ask if everything is okay while his dad will think he is sucking me up lol. It's just different parenting maybe, but I do think woman are more emotional and nurturing with parenting. Not that men can't be nurturing they just don't always use that ability. I don't know if I explained it right but I tried :(.
"Oh so n so is a great dad to out little Timmy! He never changes diapers or gets up at night with him, but he's stuck by us and loves the kids!"
As a parent who just divorced in a 50/50 status quo state I will say this: It is amazing that states are starting to swing the pendulum toward father rights and recognition.
Unfortunately they are swinging the pendulum too far in some cases. My ex husband babysits. That is it. He neither nurtures nor fosters activity. He gets default admiration for being a caretaker. Just as he got default visitation because of the status quo in our state. That's it.
I wish with everything I had that he were a real father. In my case the stereotype is true. I am the better parent. But not because I am female. I am the better parent because he is broken.
I have seen this in action, I must say.
That said, My DH is a wonderful nurturing dad. He was a SAHD with my DD#1 the first year and went back to school and changed his career so that he could work a flexible schedule (for less money) so he could be a more hands on parent. Several of his friends were also SAHD's or have primary custody of their children and they are loving, attentive and amazing fathers.
I don't know if that is normal to know so many fathers this active in their childrens' lives or not, but it just seems normal to me that they are.
It certainly proves they are capable.
Quoting parentalrights1:
I do think that alot of shitty dads are shitty because they have such low expectations. They're expected to want to run away from responsibility so they think thy are being super dad when they do the most minimal of helping.
"Oh so n so is a great dad to out little Timmy! He never changes diapers or gets up at night with him, but he's stuck by us and loves the kids!"

Quoting Momniscient:
As a parent who just divorced in a 50/50 status quo state I will say this: It is amazing that states are starting to swing the pendulum toward father rights and recognition.
Unfortunately they are swinging the pendulum too far in some cases. My ex husband babysits. That is it. He neither nurtures nor fosters activity. He gets default admiration for being a caretaker. Just as he got default visitation because of the status quo in our state. That's it.
I wish with everything I had that he were a real father. In my case the stereotype is true. I am the better parent. But not because I am female. I am the better parent because he is broken.
I really like this post, NWP. I, myself, have never bought into any of these myths. Being a good parent isn't about what gender you are.

"The menus provide demand-side evidence suggesting inshore fish were in steep decline," Van Houtan said.
The researchers hope their study will increase opportunities and attention for similar historical analyses elsewhere.
"Historical ecology typically focuses on supply-side information," said Loren McClenachan, assistant professor of environmental studies at Colby College in Maine and co-author of the study. "Restaurant menus are an available but often overlooked source of information on the demand side; they document seafood consumption, availability and even value over time."
"Most of the menus in our study came from private collections. They were often beautifully crafted, date-stamped and cherished by their owners as art," Van Houtan said. "The point of our study is that they are also data."
Added McClenachan: "This research demonstrates the tremendous wealth of useful information that is often hidden away in people's attics."
The trio published their findings Aug. 1 as a peer-reviewed letter in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.

The Rugby Academy programme is available at both Truro and Penwith campuses.
The Rugby Academy caters for a range of abilities giving the opportunity to play in one of three College teams at Truro and one at Penwith. With over 80 students in the Academy there are teams playing in over 70 fixtures and tournaments per season. All students will have the opportunity to compete for places in any of the teams which play weekly, although players in the first team squad will normally be of county standard or higher. Players will have up to eight hours per week of rugby related activities, which will include theory sessions, coaching, video analysis, fitness sessions, skills work and weight training. In addition to this there is an extensive fixture list on Wednesday afternoons, where games are played both locally and nationally at U18 and U19 levels. The College competes in the AASE league along with the other premiership academies (Wasps, Leicester, Sale, London Irish and Gloucester), the Association of Colleges Sport Leagues and Cups, as well as friendly matches against local schools and colleges.
In recent seasons the College has won the Daily Mail Cup, British Colleges U19 Knock-Out Cup, National 10s and 7s, South West Colleges League and Samurai 7s. The most recent success was winning the AASE League Plate at Allianz Park in 2014 against S.G.S Filton (Bristol Academy).
The Academy has also toured to South Africa and Dubai, as well as competing at The Sanix Junior World Rugby Tournament in Japan in 2010 and 2012. The College were finalists in both tournaments, where the best teams from South Africa, Australia, France, Canada, Tonga, Fiji, Korea and Japan competed making them the highest placed British team since the tournament began. Due to these successes the Truro College Rugby Academy has been invited for the third time and will be travelling to Japan in April 2015 for the Sanix Youth Championships.
The Cornwall RFU has been very successful in developing players in the under 16 age groups. These players at post-16 have been faced with difficult choices. Often they have left the county to relocate and continue with both their rugby and their education. This joint initiative between Truro and Penwith College and Exeter Chiefs' Rugby Academy provides players with the real opportunity of a first class education coupled with first class rugby coaching, whilst staying in Cornwall. As well as these links with Exeter Chiefs many players will also play for Cornish Pirates, Plymouth, Redruth and the Cornish All Blacks in the National Leagues.
To supplement their academic programme players may also be able to complete the AASE programme which gives them knowledge and understanding in preparation for life as a professional rugby player.

Virgin America Posts $3.3 Million Loss as Jet Fuel Costs Surge
Virgin America Inc., the low-fare airline partly owned by U.K. billionaire Richard Branson, posted a third-quarter loss as costlier jet fuel and accrued interest expenses overpowered higher revenue.
The deficit for the three months ended in September was $3.3 million, compared with a $7.48 million profit a year earlier, the Burlingame, California-based carrier said today in an e-mailed statement. The closely held company had $24 million in unrestricted cash at the end of September, which doesn't include a $150 million debt offering completed this month.
Virgin America has added flights to Chicago and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to woo leisure travelers away from larger competitors such as United Continental Holdings Inc. Quarterly earnings were hurt by an 86 percent jump in fuel costs, higher payments on aircraft leases and labor as the carrier expands and a 44 percent increase in accrued interest payments.
"The key difference between us and the rest of the industry is that we were growing while others were shrinking, and that puts pressure" on revenue, Chief Executive Officer David Cush said today in an interview. New cities such as Chicago are "ahead of expectations" and continue to perform well in the current quarter, he said.
In addition to the $150 million debt facility, Virgin America said it reached lease financing commitments for 13 new Airbus A320 planes slated for delivery in the coming two years and has covered aircraft capital requirements through the third quarter of 2013.
Increasing Revenue
Virgin's revenue rose 44 percent to $290.6 million for the three months through September, while its fuel bill jumped to $110 million. Jet fuel has surpassed labor and aircraft costs as the biggest expense for many carriers.
The carrier dropped flights to Toronto earlier this year, less than a year after beginning service to that city, because it wasn't profitable.
Virgin America, which didn't hedge on fuel in the third quarter, will begin fixed forward purchases in the coming months to "take a little bit of the volatility out," Chief Financial Officer Peter Hunt said in the interview.
Virgin America, which started service in August 2007, has a fleet of 46 Airbus SAS A320 jets and flies to cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York's John F. Kennedy airport, Washington and Boston.

7 Tips for Preparing Your Dog for a New BabyDevan McGuinness
Dogs are our babies too and if you're expecting your first (human) baby, you may worry about how the changes will affect your dog.
Our dogs are a big part of our life and just like people, they love routine and being the love of our lives. If you are pregnant and worried about how your dog will take the new changes, that's a good thing. Just like it's best to prepare an older sibling for the arrival of a new baby, it's also important to look at that for your furry child.
From changes in their routine to getting issues underhand now, there are some tips you can follow to help your dog transition from an only 'child' to an older 'sibling'.
Click through to read 7 tips on how to prepare your dog for a new baby:
Get Your Dog Used to Getting His Nails Trimmed 1 of 7Your dog likely won't try to hurt the baby, but may accidently with his nails. Getting your dog used to getting hid nails trimmed before the baby comes can help them be comfortable with the procedure on a regular basis once the baby arrives.

Plan Their Care for the Birth 2 of 7Be sure to have a plan in place for who will walk and feed your dog when you're having the baby. It's also a good idea to have a plan for caring for the dog during your baby's first week home, as that is one of the biggest transitional periods for you.

Get the Big Changes Out of the Way 3 of 7If you need to move your dog's bed or change the house around, be sure to do that well in advance of your due date. It will give your dog some time to digest the changes before the baby comes and changes routine more.

Get Your Puppy Used To Kid Noises 4 of 7There are CDs available that will help your dog get used to the typical sounds that a new baby will make. It can help your dog feel less anxious or bothered when the new noises are for real.

Enroll in a Dog Training Program 5 of 7If you have some lingering discipline issues with your dog, you may want to think about enrolling her in a training program. Sometimes behavioral issues may come up or get worse when big changes come up, so it's best to work on fixing them before the birth (especially since you'll have your hands full).

Curb the Jumping 6 of 7If your dog is a jumper, spend the months before your due date training him not to jump up on you, and to get used to not just leaping into your lap as usual. Getting him used to being invited to your lap or into a room can help curb any problems around the baby.

Get Your Dog Used to Baby Things 7 of 7Try carrying around a baby doll when you're around your dog. She can see you holding a baby, changing a diaper, and getting used to not being the full center of attention. If you have friends with kids, try to get your dog to spend some time with them (safely) and get them used to kids in general.

The Senate Judiciary Committee tried Tuesday to find common ground between those who say states should control their own marijuana use laws and those who think federal law should trump.
The Justice Department, which last month said it will not go after average pot users in states where they are legally allowed to possess it — either because of decriminalization or medical marijuana laws — has said it doesn't consider its new guidance to be a free-for-all.
"A jurisdiction's regulatory scheme must be tough in practice, not just on paper," Deputy Attorney General James Cole said in his prepared remarks. "It must include strong enforcement efforts, backed by adequate funding.
More than 20 states and Washington D.C. have legalized marijuana for medical purposes. Of those, 16 have decriminalized marijuana, meaning those who break the law will be receive civil fines rather than criminal penalties. Only Colorado and Washington have made recreational use of the drug legal.
Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said that finding areas of broad agreement is the first step to figure out what role the federal government should play in states like Washington and Colorado.
For example, both sides agree that the states must have a process in place to prevent the sale of marijuana to minors, driving while high, violence surrounding sales of the drug, and marijuana use on federal property.
"These new laws are just the latest examples of the growing tension between federal and state marijuana laws, and they underscore the persistent uncertainty about how such conflicts will be resolved," he said in his opening statement. "Although much of the focus of today's hearing will be on what is happening in Colorado and Washington … the questions and issues we discuss today have implications for the rest of the country."
Sen. Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa and ranking member of the committee, said that the U.S. is obligated to prohibit the use of what science tells us is a "dangerous, addictive drug" under international law.
"Prosecutorial discretion is one thing, but giving the green light to an entire industry based on breaking federal law is another," he said.
He noted how states that want to seal their borders to immigrants can expect pushback from the government, but how in the case of this "dangerous, addictive drug," the Obama administration has adopted a wait-and-see approach.
"We already have a pretty good idea of how it works out and the answer is badly," Mr. Grassley said, noting the increased number of deaths from driving while high in Colorado since marijuana has been legalized.

Jolie O'Dell of VentureBeat reports that on Wednesday, "Gnip launched its Historical PowerTrack for Twitter, which will give developers the ability to search, find, analyze, and compare all the tweets ever written, even ones written before the developer in question started scraping Twitter. It's the same level of access the Library of Congress got when it started archiving and storing all Twitter data, but this time, it's commercially available. 'There are a handful of companies that have collected some portion of Twitter data,' said Gnip COO Chris Moody in a meeting with VentureBeat yesterday. 'We were able to do it because we partnered with Twitter on it'."
O'Dell continues, "The data will make it possible for anyone (anyone working with Gnip, that is) to parse a huge historical archive of tweets and look for patterns. Did tweets have a real correlation to the 2008 election results? How about the iPhone 3GS launch and first-week sales? Using that kind of information, analysts can better forecast expected results for current events. 'Four and a half years ago, the company was founded on the idea that data would be insanely valuable, that people would do amazing shit with it,' said Moody, 'and we wanted to fuel all those applications.' We asked Moody the billion-dollar question: What if there turns out to be no or very little correlation? What if tweets turn out to be just so much hot air, totally useless for predictive analysis?"

So this journal will basically be a progression journal about getting my two horses back to work! I thought to start off this journal I will give you a small background on both horses.
15.2hh 8 year old Quarter Horse Thoroughbred
She has been off for two and a half months because of a hurt shoulder and a hoof abscess. I now need to get her back into shape because she's become a little "chub chub".
15.1hh 10 year old Warmblood Appaloosa
We just bought her and her old owners didn't ride her for over FIVE years. When we bought her, she had only been ridden once. She is my project pony.
So be prepared for more updates and pictures! Maybe even a video or two!! (:

text: | 4/18/2014 9:49 am Dagger Mamba by Sean Feeling comfortable in a boat is one of the most important things to consider when buying a kayak and Dagger nails the comfort thing for me. Until recently I have always paddled a boat with a rounded hull. I made the switch to Dagger about 10 years ago because I love their outfitting and the rounded hull of the Nomad made me feel at ease. The hull on the Nomad is uniquely forgiving. It is perfect for sliding off jagged rock shoulders and makes for easy rolling. The only downsides to the Nomad for me were back-endering and its inability to carve in and out of eddies. I initially purchased the Mamba for bigger water class V and river running. Knowing the edges would respond a bit better and give the boat a more "high performance" feel. Early on I felt I would want to keep the Nomad for creeking but that quickly notion quickly changed as I got used to the Mamba. The chine tapers off toward the stern of the boat allowing the Mamba to have that same Nomad feel when boofing or sliding off rocks which is very important for the creek runs. The 8.6 has enough volume in the stern to prevent back endering and the chine add great carving ability. This boat has the best of both worlds. It adds some performance to the Nomad with the same great Dagger comfort. I highly recommend trying this boat for any level kayaker. × Theres been an internal error
