The list was created by LawnStarter, which compared the 150 biggest U.S. cities across 11 key indicators of nuptial success. These indicators included the rate of married households, separation and divorce rate, number of wedding chapels and churches per 100,000 residents, and the share of never-married young people. It could be argued that this might not be the best way to determine a ranking like this but to be fair, most of what we think we know about the rate of divorce is actually not as true as it may appear....

To dive into crimes perpetrated by Little League coaches and managers is to enter a sad and profound human drama. Since 2009, over $2 million has been stolen from Little Leagues. And, according to Vice Sports, the rate of crime is increasing. Little League — like youth soccer and all sorts of other booster-clubs — is a vast organization that puts power (and money) in the hands of volunteers. These volunteers sometimes take the money and run....

It’s great that you’re thinking about your elderly parents’ eventual needs, something a lot of adult children don’t consider until it’s too late. A lengthy stay at a facility can be financially devastating for families. Long term care insurance is certainly a way to help mitigate that risk. As with most insurance products, long term care insurance policies have more varieties than a jumbo-sized chocolate sampler. But generally speaking, they’ll cover the cost of assisted living and nursing homes, as well as in-home caretakers....

This story was submitted by a Fatherly reader. Opinions expressed in the story do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Fatherly as a publication. The fact that we’re printing the story does, however, reflect a belief that it is an interesting and worthwhile read. First, a bit of a warning about this film I view so fondly and nostalgically: the movie received pretty harsh reviews from Roger Ebert who called it “a soppy sitcom that would like to pass as a quasi-heartfelt story,” and the Washington Post critic who decried it as “a warm fuzzy commercial....

Canada marks the dividing line between the two countries. These days, it also marks an astoundingly severe difference between the countries’ handling of the coronavirus pandemic,data fromA visualization of the difference between how COVID-19 spread in the United States and how it has spread in Canada is simple, stark, and horrifying, especially for Americans. The mapshared on Twitter on October 28 — the day that the United States reported 99,321 cases in a day, the highest record of any country in the world....

The map was created by Influenster back in 2017, as they asked 5,054 cookie connoisseurs around the country to name their favorite cookie and then determined which cookie was the most popular in each state. Unsurprisingly, Thin Mint came out on top, as it was the top cookie in 24 states. Thin Mints appear to be especially popular on the West Coast, as California, Arizona, Oregon, and Nevada all picked them as number one....

The TeenCOVE study, which confirmed that the vaccine was safe and effective for adolescents, is a necessary step and great result for the company, which plans to submit study data to the FDA, CDC, and other health bodies in early June in order to authorize the vaccine in the use of young teens, at a time when access and authorization are expanding across the board. The great news comes at a time as well when the vaccine pace is slowing down, after the most enthusiastic of people, and those who could afford to get away from work, have already received their doses and new focus is given to teens, hesitant adults, and adults who want the vaccine but haven’t been able to access it....

By design, Cousin Oliver types are younger and cuter than the casts they join in a pathetic, often unsuccessful effort to stave off cancellation and reach new audiences. What do you do for a Cousin Oliver type when a show’s cast consists of cute baby versions of some of the most beloved and enduring characters in pop culture? If you’re the third season of the rock-solid CGI reboot of Muppet Babies, you introduce a new character who is even cuter, even younger, even smaller, and even more of a baby than all of the other cute, young, small babies in your regular cast....

For the better part of the last two years, Max and Emily were as thick—and mischievous—as thieves. In year one they were in different pre-schools, but shared a backyard fence and enough playdates to crash a Macbook Pro. Then we moved a mile away, but in a rare episode of parental coordination, we got them into the same pre-school class, so they spent five mornings and usually a couple afternoons a week together....

The words isolation and quarantine repeat in my head. It’s August. It’s twelve-noon. Neither my wife nor I have slept or eaten in 39 hours. Earlier this morning, they had discharged her from the maternity ward and for a few hours we were the only couple on the tenth floor without a new child in our arms. There are five other babies in five other HALOs. A chair sits at the side of each....

RELATED: The Best Running Equipment For Dad Joggers As it turns out, the reason outlined in the study is rather simple: Runners inherently take shorter strides and slow down when pushing a stroller, even when doing their best to maintain their non-stroller pace. Makes sense, right? The slower speeds result in a lower heart rate and fewer calories burned. Doesn’t matter that they’re exerting extra energy pushing the stroller. Now, if they can keep up the same speed, and push the stroller, then the workout will pay bigger dividends....

But hurricanes come and go in a way that viruses and economic depressions do not. It was clear to my wife and me as Covid-19 spread that a trip to Costco and some storm shutters weren’t going to get it done from a practical or psychological perspective — preparedness is never as simple as stockpiling. So we decided to grow a “Coronavirus Victory Garden” with the help of our increasingly dirty kids....

“By definition, these deaths are unexpected and parents cannot actually prepare for them ahead of time,” says Andy Bernstein, M.D., a pediatrician at Northwestern University Medical School. So, other than being an existential nightmare, what good is worrying about SIDS to parents? It’s a question with a long, confused history. Prior to cribs, most infant deaths that we would today label SIDS were attributed to “overlay” or suffocation from sleeping with parents....

As a parent, there are few greater forms of bonding with your child than sharing a passion. Especially when that passion becomes a family business. Throughout six episodes, we will share the experiences, history, and love of six father-child duos. We learn how the passion was passed down, see the pairs in action, and get a picture of how they bond outside the confines of the business. We will encounter the following families: the Kivels of Grand Central Watch, one of the oldest family-run watch-repair shops in New York; the Peragallos, of Peragallo Pipe Organ Company, a fourth-generation-run family-owned business that builds and repairs organs around the U....

“The longer poop stays in the colon, the more the gut bacteria ferment, resulting in gas,” Pasricha told Fatherly. But she clarifies that the epidemiological phenomenon of gnarly elder farts is mere conjecture. “There have been no studies to date that clearly show an increase in flatulence as people age,” she says. The only research that attempted to rate how fart potency changes over time analyzed data from 16,537 participants as part of the National GI Survey....

Why do I bring this up? Because while Halloween 2020 will certainly look different from years past, children across the country will still partake in the time-honored tradition of gorging themselves on candy, cookies, and other sweets, whether or not they go door-to-door to do it. With more than 5.6 million U.S. children living with a food allergy, food safety should be among parents’ top priorities for ensuring these festivities are as safe as possible....

It can drift sideways, go backwards, whip around corners and pull off complete spins at a top speed of 12 miles per hour, which doesn’t sound like much until they’re uncorking a killer 360 with mere inches between them and pavement, like so: Razor Crazy Cart Buy Now $299 Razor Crazy Cart XL Buy Now $575

But when you’re having one of those big arguments that doesn’t reach an easy resolution and needs to be paused, how do you return to it without ramping things up to where they were when you took a break? Even if you have the best intentions, it’s easy to bring one another’s blood back to a boiling point again. Unresolved arguments can hang in the air, free to do their damoclesian dangle, before they suddenly fall and pop whatever bubble of calm lays beneath them....

Serious gamers will likely opt for the Series X. It has a faster processor, double the storage, a more powerful graphics card that supports 8K video, and a disk drive that can play Blu-Ray discs and Xbox One games. It’s the bigger, badder console, but its benefits will be lost on people who don’t have huge libraries of games on disk and state-of-the-art TVs. For those folks, the Series S makes a lot more sense....

But, unlike fellow body man, Peter Mayhew, who returned to play Chewbacca one last time in The Force Awakens in 2015, David Prowse hasn’t publicly been associated with Star Wars since the late ’80s. If you’re wondering why you haven’t seen Prowse at Disney or Lucasfilm sponsored nostalgia tours — like Star Wars Celebration — there’s a very good reason. The bodybuilder and actor had a pretty big falling out with George Lucas while making the classic Star Wars films....
