Here is an excerpt from a recent GQ interview with Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida):
GQ: How old do you think the Earth is?
Marco Rubio: I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I
can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States. I think the age of the universe has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow. I'm not a scientist. I don't think I'm qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.
There are so many things wrong with this response; it's hard to know where to begin.
That this statement comes from a nationally recognized politician with possible presidential aspirations is appalling.
Why don't we first take on the issue of whether you need to be a scientist to answer this question?
The answer to that one is clearly – NO.
Anyone can open a science textbook and get the answer – 4.5 Billion years.
The next question you may have is why should we trust what is in a science textbook? Isn't that like getting received wisdom from a religious text like the Bible?
Once again, the answer is no.
Anyone can independently go back to the relevant technical papers used to come up with the reasoning behind the answer that the earth is 4.5 Billion years old. If you cannot digest technical papers, there are a number of books that explain how scientists discovered the method of radiometric dating and came up with this number. One such book is Ancient Earth, Ancient Skies, by Brent Dalrymple, which anyone with a high school education should be able to read. In the back of the book are all the research papers used to support the text.
I also have a book on evolution called "Optical Allusions", which is in the form of a comic book and does a great job of explaining the evolution of the eye. Again, all the relevant technical literature is cited at the end, but any 6th grader could read the book and understand the scientific underpinnings of evolutionary theory.
That's the beauty of science – anyone can look at the data used to come up with answers such as how old the earth is or how the eye evolved.
Science is not received wisdom. It may seem like that when you read or watch popular media, but when you get down to it; science is knowledge based on experimentation and/or observation that anyone can take the time to evaluate.
It's also my opinion that the popular media suffer the same problem as Senator Rubio – the inability to think critically about scientific issues and present these issues to the public in an intelligent manner.
So, what about Rubio's statement that "Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that"?
Well – scientists HAVE answered that one and it sure as heck was not seven days. More like 1,642,500,000,000 days, give or take a few million to account for the precision of the radioactive decay measurement. Actually, the geologic time scale as 10 Eras, not seven, but that's beside the point.
The last question that needs to be addressed is whether politicians need to understand science to do their jobs effectively?
Yes, they do. No one is asking politicians to be experts but they should know enough to be able to ask intelligent questions and make decisions based on sound reasoning and evidence. President Lincoln did not establish the National Academy of Sciences just for kicks. The act that established the NAS says, in part:
[T]he Academy shall, whenever called upon by any department of the government, investigate, examine, experiment, and report upon any subject of science or art, the actual expense of such investigations, examinations, experiments, and reports to be paid from appropriations which may be made for the purpose.
We live in a technological era where we are surrounded by the results of basic scientific research, from modern pharmaceuticals to microchips that are ubiquitous in everything from our watches to our cars.
We continue to be challenged by a host of issues which require a scientific perspective, including energy, food production, severe weather caused by climate change, advances in medicine, diseases, rapid changes in technology and on and on.
Heck, businesses are screaming that they do not have enough technically qualified people to fill jobs that demand knowledge of basic science and math. Scientific literacy is a must if we are to maintain ourselves as a technologicially advanced nation.
Bottom Line
We need to be an informed electorate, but we should expect no less of the people we elect to political office. I, for one, am very uncomfortable, to say the least, with politicians who display such ignorance.
Contrary to Senator Rubio's assertion, understanding science has everything to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States.

Andy - excellent piece. Many politicians are probably truly anti-science, but in Rubio's case, it felt like he was deliberately cagey because he didn't want to anger his base voters.
Andy Koenigsberg

Thanks. I think the GQ question was designed to put Rubio on the spot and it just made him look silly.
Regardless, if Senator Rubio is just playing to a base of evangelical Christians which represents a only quarter of the population of this country and declining, and with a growing number of younger people either leaving their faith or reporting themselves as unaffiliated with any organized religion, how long can that strategy keep working?
I have to also say that President Obama said something similar back in 2008 when he was a Senator, which also pisses me off to no end. At least the people he has appointed to science and technology positions have been more apt to make decisions based on reason and evidence, which was not the case in the previous admnistration.
There are something like 3 or 4 million job openings in this country right now which are unfilled because of the lack of applicants educated in science and math so we have to decide as a people what is more important to teach: sound scientific reasoning or watered down semi-ideological pablum which does not offend anyone.
To quote Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History: "I don't have an issue with what you do in the chruch, but I'm going to be up in your face if you're going to knock on my science classroom and tell me they've got to teach what you're teaching in your Sunday school."
I will leave it at that. Thanks again for reading.

And this guy is the future of the republican party?! Aye. This is the stuff to make you want to go and pound your head against a rock. Literally. Here is some more head exploding stats... a 2012 Gallup poll shows that about 47% (ironic number, no?) of Americans don't believe in evolution, with 58% of Republicans believing that God created humans as they are today within the last 10,000 years. More Americans believe that Obama is Muslim (16%) than believe in a strictly scientific version of evolution (15%). All this in addition to the ongoing orchestrated denial of climate change. Truly, we should be shocked and dismayed.
Andy Koenigsberg
10:17 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
I was trying really hard not to spin all this in terms of political party ideology, but even former GOP Congressman Joe Scarborough was joking this morning about Republicans not believing in science (and, full disclosure, accusing liberals of not believing in math regarding our budget woes). I think there is enough misunderstanding of science to go around, personally, but just about all of the anti-science rhetoric I have ever read or heard does come from the right side of the political spectrum.
I am no longer shocked and dismayed.This has been going on for a long time now (see Karl Rove's 2004 statement denigrating "reality-based" decision making which "emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality").
Anyway - my point still remains that regardless of ideology, we need to get our act together and look at many factors, including the issues I discussed in the post, when we vote for our elected officials.

Oh Andy Koenigsberg--what a great essay, a model of its kind! The cynicism of the entire political "elite" on the unwieldy topic of Science is, as you indicate, potentially ruinous. It is ruinous to the politician if he or she is careless not to appeal to the majority of his constituency on the topic, but far more ruinous to that same constituency--and everybody else--if politicians refuse to acknowledge and support scientific progress. The most bizarre (and depressing) thing is that there is a whole "new tradition" among American politicians of taking PRIDE in not knowing about science, and not respecting people who do (not merely scientists, but, again as you say, people who are interested in science, people who are intelligent and value science). There is also the ridiculous ongoing effort to prolong a false, entirely fabricated antagonism between science and faith. YOU CAN SO HAVE BOTH. And I am no scientist; having just read Brian Green's Fabric of the Cosmos, I cannot pretend I wasn't seriously boggled at times. But not respecting the ideals of Scientific objectivity and experimentation seems to me to be to flirt with disaster--economically, yes, but also in terms of our moral and physical well-being. It's like snorting in the face of God!
I did appreciate, too, the fact that the quote from the mission statement of the NAS puts Art on a par with Science...
Andy Koenigsberg

Dave - the director of the National Institute of Health, Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. is an Evangelical Christian. There is no better example of a man devoted to both science and religious faith. I also know a Jesuit priest who is one of the most noted geologists in Massachusetts and an evolutionary biologist who is a devout Catholic. So yes, you can be both true to your faith and be a scientist where your devotion is to truths that are found in nature. I see no problem with accepting Jesus as your savior and rejecting the ludicrous idea that the Earth is 10,000 years old.

Andy, I am in Northern California, just having spent many days near the ocean. The amount of environmental activism and enthusiasm here is stunning. It really reminds me of much of Europe. So there is hope. The stupid attitudes of Rubio and the Republicans have reduced the party here to a wounded ostrich looking for its head in the sand. It will cease to exist as a political force soon. Reasons not only include utterly idiotic comments about immigrants and tax strategies that have ruined the schools, but a refusal to join the long march for environmental cleanup. And this in a state which has perhaps the best public universities in the world -- and just voted to raise taxes to help them! I am reminded of my wife's dad, a high ranking military officer of very correct stature, who loved the environment. He was a rock ribbed Republican who loved nature, admired Teddy Roosevelt and supported national parks, preserving wetlands and science education. Today's Republicans, as the Rubios and worse show, are now just playing to the uneducated deniers of many things modern....and many things they could see if they just opened their eyes, got off their duffs and explored the world, not the angry depths of their keyboards. Carry on.

Clearly, one can be both religious and believe in science - I happen to be one of those people. That people like Marco Rubio are not willing to admit that out of fear of angering those in his party that believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible is amazing in this day and age. Have some guts and take a stand against ignorance!
Andy Koenigsberg
3:52 pm on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Having guts is not a widespread characteristic of politicians on the national scene these days. Jon Huntsman was culled out of the GOP primaries early on last year partly because he had the temerity to accept evolution and climate change and would not pander to the base.
There are still many well funded national organizations pushing for creationism and its modern incarnation - intelligent design to be taught in public school science classes.
By contrast, a small organization called the National Center for Science Education, run on a shoestring budget, is about all there is opposiing these organizations and the state level legislation they sponsor even now.
Alot of this activity goes on under the radar of the national media. Only when things happen like the Rubio interview do the rest of us get to say "Holy S#!t! What's going on here?!" This stuff has been going strong since the 1927 Scopes Trial.
To quote Clarence Darrow from that trial: "Ignorance and fanaticism is ever busy and needs feeding. Always it is feeding and gloating for more. . . After a while . . it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth century when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind."

I wish he gave them a Chris Christie/Bill Parcells answer. Something like 'that's a stupid question, stop wasting my time'.
Andy Koenigsberg
6:07 pm on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
There's no such thing as a stupid question - only stupid answers.
9:09 am on Wednesday, November 28, 2012
That's not true at all. There are a lot of stupid questions.
Andy Koenigsberg
11:57 am on Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Sure - if the question is something like "How often do you beat your mother?"
Asking someone if they know how old the earth is, is not a stupid question.
12:16 pm on Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Asking someone a question that you know (or can find) the answer to, when you know the person you're asking has no better or faster access to a more informed answer makes it a stupid question and a waste of time.
Max Walker
7:29 pm on Wednesday, November 28, 2012
this has become a litmus question, because the republicans have made it so. it is not a stupid question because the answer cleanly divides politicians into three categories -- totally pro-science, anti-science and quite likely a village idiot, and politician scared of angering his base. i'd like to know which of the three categories a politician belongs to. it's a useful thing to know.
Andy Koenigsberg
10:15 pm on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
I read the same article and as I said, Obama's comments in 2008 are nothing to be proud of either. However, actions speak louder than words, and the calibre of Obama's appointments to R&D agencies (including Francis Collins at NIH) speak for themselves.
Dr. Edward Beck
10:50 am on Monday, December 3, 2012
Wouldn't it be nice to just have politicians that say what the truly believe, even if it seemed absurd to others? Terms limits may help slightly. I definitely agree that basic science is easy enough to understand for the large majority of people if they simply open a book or use the internet.
On your last comment about Obama, he also appointed Monsanto's Vice President as Senior Advisor to the FDA. Monsanto will continue to destroy farms and make the farmers dependent on their GMO seeds, and the government will allow it as they realize that big business rules. I believe that each party would do the same, Democrat or Republican, since it's about power (votes).
This, unfortunately is an example of how "science" can be manipulated.
Great article and follow up!

You dont need us to tell you that right now, its smart to function on a leaner, meaner budget. But its hard to do that when youre oblivious to where all your cash goes. Well, stop scratching your head, and consult this list of innocent little expenses that may be siphoning off your bottom line. The great news: With a few tweaks here and there, you can keep your wallet fatter for longer.
IRS withholdings. Many people have money withheld from their paychecks in the hopes of getting a fat refund. But doing that is like giving the government an interest-free loan. Instead, change your W4 filingjust ask your employer for a new formso that you get as much money as possible up front. Then discipline yourself to put that portion in the bank, where youll earn interest.
Dry cleaning. Dropping off your nice clothes at the cleaners can cost $5 or more per item and that adds up. But thanks to such products as Tide Total Care and Dryel, you can give TLC to your finer duds while using your home washing machine and dryer. They both cost under $15, will clean at least 16 garments, and can be found at your local drugstore.
Gym memberships. Belonging to a decent gym costs at least $50 a monthwhether or not you use it. Keep your butt in tight shape by joining a running club. Not only will you meet lots of new people and get to breathe fresh air, but youll also often pay significantly less (some are free!). Check out rrca.org for one in your area.
Groceries. Coupons arent just for grandmas; they can save you beaucoup bucks too. Its best to use them for staples you always need: eggs, milk, bread, etc. Theyve even gone high tech, so you can skip flipping through the paper and just search clipngocoupons.com.
Eating out. Catching up with friends over dinner is something no girl should have to give up. But you can enjoy the fun vibe of a restaurant without racking up a big bill by eating bar food instead of pricey entrées.
Movie rentals. Unless youre pulling in a Jolie-Pittsize salary, its a good idea to sign up with an online movie-rental company, such as Netflix. For $4.99, you can get two rentals a month, which is about what it costs you to check out just one flick at your local movie store. Or opt for the $8.99 plan and get unlimited rentals.
Manicures. Lets do some grooming math: Getting a mani once a week can add up to $60 a month. Thats $720 a year! Stretch your nail maintenance to every two to three weeks by picking only light-colored polisheswhen they chip, its not as noticeable.
These days theres more than one way to feed your Cosmo fix. You can get your subscription to the print magazine as you always have, or if youd prefer to get it sent to you as a digital edition to read on your iPad, tablet, or Nook, weve got you covered. And, when you just cant get enough Cosmo, well give you even morecheck out our Sex Position of the Day app for your iPhone or Android-enabled device. Now hows that for a turn-on?
Whether you've just met your man or are long-term loves, this guide deciphers the meanings behind his actions.

5dr Wgn Auto !
Starting at $19,900 | Starting at 23 MPG City - 28 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
Fresh off of last year's improvements, the 2013 Kia Soul is a compact hatchback available with two different engines; a standard 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque, and an optional 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that yields 164 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options consist of a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 26 mpg city to 36 mpg highway, depending on transmission and engine selection. Features include 18-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension, power sunroof with tilt, hands-free phone capabilities, paddle shifters, leather trim, and push-button start. Safety is comprised of advanced airbags, brake assist (BA), anti-lock braking (ABS), traction control (TCS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), and tire pressure monitoring (TPMS). The Kia Soul is backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.
The 2013 Kia Soul is aimed squarely at the Scion crowd with its funky styling, wild colors and personalized interior and exterior treatments. Improvements in performance and efficiency add tremendous value to the Soul, especially with base prices about $3,000 less than a comparable Scion.
After major revisions to the powertrain in 2012, Kia has left the Soul mostly unchanged for 2013. A revised grill with chrome accents is new, as are the various Kia badges that adorn the vehicle. Inside, audio controls are now located on the steering wheel and Bluetooth is standard even on base manual transmission equipped cars. Soul ! variants now come with power folding mirrors and several new colors are available across all model ranges.
The Soul is available in three trim levels: the base Soul, 'Soul +' and 'Soul !.' The base Soul comes powered by a 138-horsepower 1.6L 4-cylinder, which is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The other Soul models are powered by a 164-horsepower 2.0L 4-cylinder, which is paired to a standard 6-speed automatic transmission. Kia estimates fuel economy at 25 mpg city/30 mpg highway from the 1.6L, with a slight reduction for the 2.0L.

While I was cruising around looking for physics related songs I made a couple of interesting discoveries. One was somebody called Leo Badgerbasher who has a song entitled 'Quantum Bleep' (I didn't investigate), and this album by 'Forever Einstein' called 'Racket Science'. Track listing below:-
1. How Come the Wrong People are Always in Charge
2. You're Living in A World of Make-Believe - with Flowers
3. It's A Good Thing I Don't Have Super Brain Powers
4. They're Portable They're Annoying and They Cost
5. I'm Trying to Contain an Outbreak Here
6. It's Almost Impossible to Concentrate in this Cafe
7. God Has A Plan for Me and it Involves Puppets
8. I Wish I Had Me Some of Them Miracle Smart Pills
9. I Got My Picture Taken - I Got Forty Dollars
10. There's Some Milk in the Fridge That's About to Go Bad
11. Every Word Out of Your Mouth is Like A Turd Falling in My Drink
12. He Looks Interesting (and by Interesting I Mean Weird)
These have to be some of the weirdest (and longest) song titles I've ever come across. Does anyone know of any that are weirder, or indeed longer?

Yuma Regional Medical Center is a 406-bed, not-for-profit hospital dedicated to providing outstanding medical care to the residents of Yuma and the surrounding communities in southwestern Arizona. The YRMC team includes over 2,000 employees, 300 doctors and hundreds of volunteers who work closely together to create a welcoming, caring, and compassionate environment for patients and their families.
The Yuma Regional Cancer Center groundbreaking on Friday, May 17, celebrated a multi-year dream to make world-class cancer care and treatments available in our community. The groundbreaking celebrated over 85 cancer survivors and their families. Survivors carried a flag of honor as part of the ceremony. These flags are now displayed on 24th Street at the site of the new cancer center as a visual reminder of the hope and promise they bring our community.
When the new cancer center opens in early summer 2014, it will usher in a new era for cancer care in our community. It will have triple the space, expanded services and additional physicians, allowing cancer patients to remain in Yuma – close to family and friends – with the latest diagnostic and treatment capabilities available, supported by our community.
The 38,000 square foot cancer center will feature comprehensive services under one roof. Seamless connections from one service to the next will ensure that care is delivered in the most efficient, personalized manner. Further enhancing the spectrum to services available to patients, is YRMC's membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network. This provides cancer center physicians direct access to the latest Mayo Clinic expertise and clinical care resources, ensuring the Yuma community of the most current cancer diagnostic and treatment techniques.

Michael Bisping Has Dreadful Taste
So I was skimming this mostly boring BuddyTV interview with Michael Bisping, when I came to this part:
Do you know what song you're going to be walking out to on UFC 78 yet?
I do, yeah. It's Puff Daddy and Jimmy Paige [sic] "Come with Me" from the Godzilla soundtrack.
Right. Nice. Okay, Cool.
Every time I go running and that song comes on, I always have to speed up. So I thought I'd put that on to excite me for a little bit.


text:
No, I don't want to play nor have I really felt the need to reconnect with acquaintances, old or new, since coming back. That bright yellow ball of yarn is enticing, but not quite enough to lure me out from the comforts of my quiet, singular life at home. Here, I am alone but not lonely, and it feels right.
I do maintain a substantial number of connections, but it's different in person. In person, everything requires so much more effort and responsibility from both parties.
"[These things are] tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to [them]…You had better return to your partner[s] and enjoy [their] smiles, for you are wasting your time with me. " - Darcy, Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice
It's selfish and absurd and above all, unfair to these people who invest time into someone harboring such views, as I am. I ask what my reasons are, what's wrong with me, and of course, He provides a flawless answer.
Proverbs 18:1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.
I'm just becoming aware of my countless imperfections and the more I dwell on them, the more I find. God, I am so, so broken- fix me, please.
But for now, something I can do: best friend is coming home tomorrow. I owe it to her after a whole mess of a semester. I need to pull it together and she, of all people, deserves it.

A Herington woman is killed in a motorcycle crash near Salina Saturday afternoon.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 58-year-old Leah Webb of Herington was riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle, exiting from Interstate 135 onto eastbound Interstate 70. She struck the front right corner of an SUV that was eastbound on I-70 exiting onto northbound I-135.
Webb was killed in the crash. Troopers say that she was not wearing a helmet.
No one in the SUV was hurt.
The crash happened at 2:50 Saturday afternoon at the I-70 / I-135 junction west of Salina.

Sorry to hear of any traffic death, but really? SUV exited off I-70 to go north on I-35 is struck by a motorcycle leaving I-35 to east bound I-70? How could that have happened with the clover leaf design out at I-70 and I-35? The SUV would have had to of missed their exit for these two vehicles to collide...
Sunday 12 August 2012 06:50 Report this comment
This is a horrible design!! That cloverleaf for I-35 and I70 does not allow enough room or time for people getting on and off of the respective interstate to make their exits/entrances!! There have been many times when I have traveled this route I have seen some near misses with people. This was a VERY tragic accident, I'm sorry for the loss of the woman and my condolences go to her family. I would be curious to know how anyone would blame the person driving the SUV if the motorcycle struck THEM on the front right corner? This is an accident, if there was any blame to be passed I would have to say the blame should go to the people that designed this horrible on and off ramps on the north side of 70/35!!

As to the helmet, I'm not sure which answer would be right or wrong. I do not ride a motorcycle, I have friends that do/have for years. I have heard both sides of this argument as to if a helmet is better or worse. The young man that recently died on old 40 and state I was told WAS wearing a helmet. I suspect the benefit of a helmet would increase your odds, but I'm sure it would depend on the type of accident you are in.
Sunday 12 August 2012 10:15 Report this comment
The state and government needs to stay out of people's lives concerning helmets and seat belts. If people want to use them or not its up to them. Evidently the state or highway patrol makes money from the feds or they would not be reporting whether people are or are not using these things. Frankly this is America and its none of their damn business.

@ getu: agreed, as long as the taxpayers aren't forced to foot the medical bills for the former-bikers-turned-vegetables because of severe head trauma. Same with seat belts, if you don't want to buckle up, don't expect state or federal medical assistance. As for the cloverleaf, it was designed back when the speed limit was 55mph. The acceleration/deceleration lanes are completely inadequate for merging at close to 80mph. Contact KDOT and ask them to redo the cloverleaf, reduce the speed limit around there, or both. http://kdotapp2.ksdot.org/WelcomeContact/contact.aspx
Sunday 12 August 2012 14:52 Report this comment
risigr, that is a good point, but, in this theory any government medical assistance should also be withheld for people that are overweight due to eating too much, breathing problems for smokers and former smokers, health issues to due alcohol consumption etc... anyone choosing to be irresponsible should not be eligible for government medical benefits? I'm not sure what the answer here is, I know I feel better wearing a seatbelt, not because the government tells me to, because I think my odds are better with it should I be in an accident. I will contact KDOT about this, that's a good idea, this area is very dangerous and I'm surprised we have not heard of more fatalities here. As far as I'm concerned, this is 1 too many!!

As for the design of the cloverleaf, that area of land is all the designer was given to work with to design 4 exit ramps and 4 entrance ramps to the two interstates. The designer of this interchange then went and got a licence to drive a semi-truck so he could be sure a large truck would be able to safely use the clover leaf.

Wrong when that was built any among of land was available. I agree speed limits have increased and it needs to be redesigned.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of life but I look at the laws on the motorcycle like this..... If there is a STATE LAW that says I have to wear my seatbelt while in a car.... Then there should be no excuse why someone on a damn motorcycle doesn't have to wear a helmet!!!! I have rode motorcycles in the past but don't anymore. I never rode with out a helmet!!!!

You all are reading the location wrong. The article states nothing about I-35. It states I-135 which is a different highway, and there is no cloverleaf there.

I remember when Prevention magazine was more holistic. Now it is all about selling books. This is a great disappointment. The articles are light and meaningless for an informed readership.

I really like reading Prevention.It is very informative about health issues.Shows exercises, food ideas and neat little articles. My 91 year old mother also likes to read Prevention.
I bought this magazine as a guide to a more healthy lifestyle as I am in my 40's. I am enjoying the magazine and following many of the nutritional suggestions.
This is a great publication for anyone who wants to take full advantage of a healthy lifestyle. A bonus
Good, cute little magazine, would be a perfect bathroom reader because articles are fairly short and sweet. Magazine is smaller also, about the size of a paperback novel, but thinner. I'm glad I got it.
ok I have lost 40 lbs and I have bought 3 flat belly books, every one at work wanted to know what diet I was on, I gave them my book and would buy another one.
Prevention is a great short read that can help you boost your family's health.
Prevention is written in an easy to understand manner. It caters to people who are already health conscious.
I have given Prevention magazine as a gift to numerous family members and they have all enjoyed it. It is a nice size to carry around too. Like that the articles are short but helpful.
Have looked all over to unscrubscribe and the only 1-800 # is CONSTANTLY busy without even a recording. I'm still looking so that I don't AUTOMATICALLY get charged for another year!
I think Prevention magazine has lost its focus. It has too many make-up ads. It used to focus more on healthy lifestyles. The ads are just too much.

Improving Richmond's parks
London has some of the best examples of urban parks in the country and the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames is renowned for having some of the highest quality open space in the capital.
The Council's Parks and Open Spaces Section has an enthusiastic Parks Team, who are dedicated to improving our parks and open spaces to a level where they could be considered as some of the best in London.
Due to substantial capital investment the Parks service have been able to carry out excellent improvements across the borough. Parks have been improved in many ways, such as:
- Physical improvements - hard and soft landscaping
- Improving accessibility - better paths and entrances
- Improving facilities - play, sports, pavilions, benches, bins and signage
- Working in partnership with users and other stakeholders
- Establishing Friends groups and supporting community involvement
We are continually looking at ways to improve sites with the involvement of the local community. The establishment of Friends Groups and better community liaison has improved the way we work and improved your parks for you!

The dresdens are finished!
Can you see me doing my happy dance?
I adore this quilt. Simply love it.
What started out as this
After many months and starts and stops, this cheerful, happy quilt is complete. I took it on vacation with us last week and finally had time to finish it.
I only used my favorite fabrics and even hand quilted the circles with perle cotton.
You may recall this post about my intentions to keep this quilt for myself (Can you blame me? It's just so pretty and happy!) but the more I worked on it, the more it called out to me as the perfect quilt for my sweet girl.
After all, that is how it began- with her in mind- so it was only fitting that it should be hers in the end.
You can see she put it right to use. |
Inspired by the quilt on the cover of Material Obsession, it's called Sweet Dreams and is by far the biggest quilt I've made.
Just shy of a twin at 55" x 76", it will sit on the end of her bed but I don't imagine it will stay there. It's rather perfect for snuggling on the couch, as a blanket for her picnic tea parties, or when she needs to build a fort.
The back is my favorite whimsical floral/butterfly print from Just Wing It and the binding is my favorite Amy Butler orange dot.
I hope this quilt will grow with her and be something special she loves forever as I loved making it for her.
Do you have a favorite recent finish?
PS: I'm linking up to:

Testimonies: Depression |
"I came to the Healing Rooms in desperation following many years of depression and a constant feeling of helplessness and lack of personal self esteem. I knew that only prayer and God's blessings would be my comfort and peace. Upon my first visit to the Healing Rooms I found such love and blessings. The second time was the most confronting and I had a real spiritual battle just getting there. But during that second visit I had the most amazing breakthrough, coming to terms with many things that had been spoken over me in the past. I was so blessed that I could forgive the past and move on. The next week I returned to thank those who had been there for me and praise the Lord for his love and blessings. After that I was able to discuss many issues with my brother who had also been affected when we were children and young adults. He was pleased to talk about these issues and we were able to pray together over them. I thank God for his blessings and continued love. Trish" - Trish N. on March 18th, 2013 | |
"I came into the healing room with worries about everything in the outside world. I had forgotten that I could give absolutely anything up to God. All the delusions crowding my mind were shattered after I was prayed for. I attend all types of recovery meetings for my addiction to drugs but have never felt the love that I felt here. Straight up, it was amazing." - Andrew S. on December 11th, 2012 | |
"God used the Healing Rooms to keep me out of the pit of despair, to release joy and abundance in His Kingdom and He is inviting me to enjoy the treasures that He has put inside my spiritual man." - Anonymous on September 26th, 2011 | |
"I came here tonight and asked for prayer and healing for pain in my legs & hips, and guilt and depression and to quit smoking. It was a wonderful experience and I left the room feeling very warm and at peace. I have experienced progressive healing over the past several months and feel that my experience in the healing rooms tonight will continue that process. All praise to God and my savior Jesus Christ." - Annette on July 9th, 2012 | |
"Before being prayed for God showed me what state/condition I was in, all alone in a dark room with my head buried between my knees in hopelessness. However, as I was being prayed over in the healing room, my spirit was lifted up and my heaviness washed away. God gave me freedom and strength to finally stand up again! God filled me with hope and the lightness of knowing that I am a free, beloved child of God! I also had been very worried about not knowing what my future path would be and I received a note from an intercessor from another room that spoke exactly into my worries, that even though I don't know the details of my path, God and His angels have prepared and gone before me. Praise the Lord!" - Linda on November 5th, 2012 | |
" I was asked by a friend if I would like to go with him to the Healing Rooms and I'm so glad I did. I had an addiction to cigarettes for 9 years and I am 4 months pregnant. I also had depression, which I believe the smoking was making worse. I was filled with the Holy Spirit and they asked Jesus to take all addiction from me. I was so overjoyed after my healing - I have not had a cigarette since and it's been two weeks today. I feel like I have a new life and am now free to live for Jesus with the addiction gone. I am so devoted to Him now, even more than I was before. Thank you Lord. Kerrianne" - Kerrianne B. on November 30th, 2012 | |
"God spoke to me as I came in for healing of fibromyalgia. He spoke peace, rest and healing to me. The pain in my back and the depression left as the ladies praying commanded them to leave my body in the name of Jesus. I praise God and give Him all the glory for my healing." - Becky J. on August 11th, 2012 | |
"My sister-in-law was suffering from constant headaches for many years.No medication helped her and she was suicidal at times.There was a witchdoctor who cursed my sister. One day I visited the Healing Rooms to stand in the gap for my sister. The team prayed for her and gave me a prayer cloth to give to my sister. She put it under her pillow and after the first night she phoned me. She was healed and felt no pain. My sister was healed by God and she no longer has any headaches and she isn't suffering from depression anymore. She is happy and praising God. Amen!" - Patience (. on July 25th, 2012 | |
""I met the Director of CVHR to discuss sthe plans for the upcoming pastor's luncheon. While we were taking, she said that I needed prayer. I told her that I was fine, but she insisted that I sit and she began to pray with the presence of others in the soaking room area. The Holy Spisrit revealed that I was stressed and under a great depression. After she prayed, my body was relaxed and I knw that a great weight was lifted from me, a weight that I only then realized I was carrying. Thank you Lord." - Marie K. on June 6th, 2012 | |
"CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (ME) HEALED! Initially I was diagnosed with depression in April 2002 but even with medication there was no sign of improvement and in June 2003 I had to give up my job. However, it wasn't until April 2004 that the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Otherwise known as M.E.) was officially diagnosed, although my G.P. had suspected it in 2003 and it was confirmed that I had had it for at least two years possibly longer. It was a relief that I wasn't going mad, that it was not in my imagination but it was real. CFS or ME is a debilitating illness that leaves you constantly exhausted and unable to do the most basic of things like having a conversation with someone, doing housework,cooking a family meal, socialising with family/church family or friends. Sadly, it was made worse that no-one tried to understand how I felt or offered help of any kind (apart from my husband and immediate family). I felt alienated because I was treated as a "mental health case" and no-one, it seemed, knew how to deal with me. Despite all of this I knew it was all a part of God's plan for me that He needed to take me away from things so that He could teach me new things and that when the time was right He would bring healing. Then in 2006 a friend mentioned the possibility of going to the Healing Rooms for prayer ministry. To begin with I was unsure that this was the right way for me but prayed about it and asked God to provide the right opportunity if this was what He wanted. Thus on 19th October 2006 I went to the Healing Rooms for prayer ministry and God healed the ME. At last I was free from the restrictive bonds of the illness. Up to that point, I had needed to walk with the aid of a walking stick and from that night on I no longer needed it." - Patricia P. on October 18th, 2012 | |
"Thank you Jesus. My friend, Maria, was healed of depression after we prayed in the healing room. She has gone back to work and has no more depresskion. Praise God!" - Patria on December 21st, 2011 | |
"I am a very happy person but suddenly and without warning I became very depressed and unhappy. I no longer wanted to go to church; I cried a lot, I did not want anyone to touch me. I had never experienced anything like this before. It was very unsettling for me and my family. I went to the doctor and he tried to put me on several different kinds of medicines. I had adverse reactions to all of them and did not want to take them. My husband, our friend, and I went to the healing rooms to seek training and to be prayed for. I went into the Glory Room and just laid on the floor "soaking" in the presence of God. As I laid there I felt the depression seep out of my body into the floor. It was completely gone! I got up from the floor and was completely healed! It has been nearly 6 months since that time. I do not take any medication for depression and I am happy again. Praise God, I am healed!!!" - T J. on April 16th, 2011 | |
"I am writing about my visit to the Healing Rooms. I had no energy and felt depressed. As I was driving from Hobart to Arlington I decided to sing. I sang two songs all the way up to Arlington which turned out to be the very same songs that two of the ladies prayed and sang for me. Also I needed prayer for finances as I am currently unemployed, single and not eligible for social security yet and not on unemployment. I have temporary help from family. They prayed for finances and the Lord gave them this word for me "Provision is on the Way! Thank you all." - Roxanne B. on April 16th, 2011 | |
"After receiving prayer,the Lord has touched me and now I can testify of His peace and joy in my life. My relationship with my father has also been restored and we don't fight anymore.I give God all the glory and praise for what He has done in my life and for the work He is still doing.I love Jesus!" - Belinda D. on May 26th, 2011 | |
"April 4, 2011 We prayed for my son who was suicidal, depressed, and on anti-depressants. He had social anxiety. He has since quit his night shift job and searching for a new direction from God. He has returned to church and Bible studies. He was addicted to fantasy ie Warcraft game. He quit that. He has gone off his medication with no withdrawals. Praise God for his faithfulness and salvation. We prayed for my daughter for her heart rhythms to be normal. Her doctor visit confirmed this. Also prayed for trauma to leave and her joyful spirit to return. Praise God. Donna" - Donna on April 12th, 2011 | |
"Two weeks ago tomorrow I was prayed over in the Healing Rooms for depression. I was taking Zoloft for severe clinical depression and expected I had to take medicine for the rest of my life. I have not had a moment of depression since! I am full of the joy of the Lord and am enjoying life more than ever." - Tillie A. on August 20th, 2009 | |
"DEPRESSION GONE... God has healed me from depression. It's all gone, from the top of my head to the bottom of my feat. I am so thankful to the Father for His love for me and my kids.Three weeks ago before coming to the Oxnard Healing Rooms I was very bad, He healed me from pain. I love you so much Father. I love you so much for my life Jesus and for my kids. He will heal you too...let Him help you." - Elaine L. on October 28th, 2010 | |
"I had suffered from severe depression in the winters since moving to Montana from Florida. I was prayed for at the Spokane Healing Rooms and God began to show me the true beauty of His winter season. I noticed things I never had before. Not one depressive episode all winter! God is good all the time!" - Cyndy L. on October 25th, 2009 | |
"I came to the Healing Room in March this year dealing with Bi Polar and deep depression that had been hanging on for 9 months. I was hospitalized in the summer of 09 and didn't have hope for life since then. A friend suggested that I come to the Healing Rooms. I was so encouraged by the unique group of people that prayed for me. We stood against a spirit of the Impossible and I embraced the truth that All Things Are Possible With God! Ever since I have had a new love for life and creativity and joy flow freely I am so thankful for the Healing Room!" - Joy M. on August 12th, 2010 | |
"I asked for prayer from the healing ministers from the DC Healing Room. I did not give them a specific request because I had been requesting prayer about my mortgage and finances for so long. I was not walking in victory, and often depressed. One of the healing ministers said "I see you with deeds to cars and land or houses", "I see the deeds in your hands". Well praise God, this week I received the title (deed) to my car! One day the repo man was at my house to take my car! But God gets the glory! I walk in expectation concerning the land (house). In Jesus' name! Amen Terry" - Terry on July 10th, 2010 | |
"A couple came in for prayer due to difficult circumstances they were walking through. The Team received accurate words of knowledge prior to the prayer session. During the prayer session prophetic revelation continued to flow, revealing specific demonic oppression they were suffering in the night. The Team prayed to break that, and other issues. The following morning the couple called to report that for the first time in two years they slept through the night without demonic warfare coming against them! During the session pain left the foot of the husband while we were praying for other issues! Yeah God! " - OCHR D. on February 16th, 2010 | |
"Laura, My life is changing! It really is ! " - Anonymous on October 5th, 2009 | |
"Each of the three times I have come, I have received such blessings and empowerment from God. It is amazing how the prayer team understood my situation so clearly with such little explanation from me. Two totally different teams prayed very similar things for me showing how perfectly they were hearing from God. The second time I was prayed for that God would heal my womb (something I didn't ask for). Within a couple months I had the faith to allow myself to get pregnant which I did right away. Praise God! Through the prayer of the teams at the Healing Rooms, God gives me such strength and confidence to serve Him more faithfully. My health is also getting better and I feel support to believe in complete healing for my digestion, depression and fatigue. Praise our Living God and Father." - Ruthanne W. on May 14th, 2007 | |
"*Healing Rooms Ministries never suggests that a person should discontinue their medications. This should only be done under the guidance of their medical doctor.* Two weeks ago tomorrow I was prayed over for depression. I was taking Zoloft for severe clinical depression and was expecting to have to take medication for the rest of my life. I stopped taking the medicine the next day and have not taken it since! I have not had a moment of depression since receiving prayer. I am full of the joy of the Lord and am enjoying life more than ever." - Tillie A. on October 8th, 2009 | |
"On May 29, 2009, I was prayed for at Zoe Healing Rooms. I had trouble with my colon and low energy. I was SEVERLY depressed and on several presciption medicines. Since being prayed for, I have a clear mind, my energy has increased and when I went back to the doctor, he took me off four medicines. I have even lost weight. My health has improved so that now I can work part time and minister in music for a small, local church. God is blessing me in many other areas of my life. Thank you Jesus and Zoe Healing Rooms. " - Mary C. on May 29th, 2009 | |

Staff-recommended reading from the KPL catalog.
Bagels may not often described with the above adjectives, but Sharon Kahn's Fax me a bagel definitely fits the bill. The first in her Ruby, the rabbi's wife series, it is a quick and enjoyable read, with quirky characters and old technology (published in 1998 – can that really be fifteen years ago already – facsimile technology and the necessary accoutrements of a business have come a long way). If you enjoy this title, you'll be pleased to know that we have the rest of the series, which are six in total. Just beware: you may finish reading with a craving for bagels, though you may be as lucky as I was – and coincidentally be offered one. Just in case it wasn't a coincidence, my next read may be about winning the lottery!
Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old boy genius who kidnaps a fairy in order to get her gold. This is the first in a series and is titled Artemis Fowl. Artemis is what every 12 year old boy wants to be. His mom has dementia so he is not hampered by her rules and having to go to school, yet he does miss her and would still like to have her back as his mom. Artemis has a man servant with the last name of Butler who is huge and protects Artemis. The first thing that happens is that Artemis captures a fairy book. With this first chapter we are introduced to Artemis and find out that he has a castle, has a great computer network, that he is always two steps ahead of everyone and that Butler is very strong and dedicated. Artemis uses the knowledge in this fairy book to ambush Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy unit. He holds her hostage and demands a ton of gold. The fairies try to get Holly back but are defeated time after time by Artemis. Root, a commander in the LEPrecon unit decides to send in a dwarf named Mulch. This book is written for a teen age audience. It is heavy into to fairies, dwarfs, goblins, trolls etc. It also has the gassy fart humor that teen age boys enjoy. The drawf can unhinge his jaw and tunnel through dirt. Prior to starting he also opens the back flap of his tunneling pants because what goes in the jaw comes out the other end. He also builds up a tremendous amount of air pressure and he actually is able to use this to incapacitate Butler. This book is full of details about fairy life. This is book one of a series. I got my copy from KPL's digital audio collection but we also have them in hard copy. I look forward to "reading" (having them read to me) the others.
I was excited to discover that Fay Weldon has a new novel out, Habits of the house, the first of a planned trilogy. Set in England at the end of the 19th century, it follows the attempts of the Earl of Dilberne to solidify his family's financial situation. From a brief summary I've read, it sounds like a rich American heiress might save this titled British family teetering on the brink of financial ruin, but in Weldon's hands, it is sure to be a compelling and surprising read (and surely all the Dilbernes' problems will not be solved by the end of the first book). When I learned of the existence of this book, I immediately placed a hold on it, and I'm going to read it while I await the arrival of Mary Roach's newest book, Gulp.
Davy Rothbart's life is anything but ordinary. This Ann Arbor native and creator of Found Magazine has an endless yearning for new experiences, exhibits a complete fearlessness of strangers, and falls in "love" with every pretty girl he meets, however briefly that meeting may be (if you have dark eyes, long hair, and work at a Subway—watch out!). My Heart Is an Idiot, Rothbart's new collection of essays, chronicles the adventures he stumbles upon, or rather creates, in his travels across the U.S. Rothbart has the ability to make friends with anyone and everyone, and that talent, combined with a restlessness that compels him to constantly be on the move, makes for some very crazy encounters. Hitchhiking? There's plenty of that. Traveling across the country for a girl he barely knows? Sure! Dead man in a pool? Yeah, he found one once. I can't say that his writing is the best or that his constant pursuit of unrealistic romance didn't get tiresome, but the weird situations and odd coincidences in these stories make My Heart Is an Idiot entertaining. His heart is definitely an idiot, but at least it's a charming, adventurous one.
…the library has you covered. The world may end in nine days (and many of our survival skill books are checked out already), but if it doesn't, you may want to check out The worst-case scenario survival handbook: holidays. According to the cover, it will show you how to prevail against hordes of shoppers OR reindeer. I think it also has tips for tough family situations.
The engaging and darkly humorousCare of Wooden Floors, a debut novel by UK journalist Will Wiles, tells the tale of a nameless house-sitter who is given the opportunity to get away from his rather drab life in London and visit a nameless eastern European city to watch over the sleek and ultra-modern apartment of an old college friend and finally concentrate without distraction on the creative writing that he tells himself he has in him. Oscar, the friend, a renowned minimalist composer and beyond serious neat freak, leaves nothing in his life to chance. As the narrator discovers a series of obsessively specific notes concerning the care of the flat, and particularly the unique wood floors, it becomes clear that there is more to the house-sitting, and more to the relationship with Oskar, than was assumed. As the story unfolds, and then absurdly unravels, a sense of schadenfreude sets in and readers will revel in the "it can't get any worse" twists and turns as the simple house-sitting assignment morphs into a downright Kafkaesque existential struggle.
Charlie Collier: Snoop for HireGrowing up I read every Encyclopedia Brown book. Recently Donald Sobol, the author of this series died and I was feeling nostalgic. Then I came across Charlie Collier, Snoop for Hire by John Madormo. It's not nearly the caliber of the Encyclopedia Brown series (Sorry John) but it was good enough to scratch the itch. If you recall Encyclopedia Brown had a desk and charged to solve crimes and had a girl named Sally as his "enforcer" and a bully named Bugs Meanie. Charlie has a desk in his garage and his "enforcer" is named Henry. Encyclopedia Brown had the support of his parents (his father was the police chief). Charlie has to sneak his detective work and if his parents come home too soon Henry and Charlie have to hurriedly clean up the garage. But luckily Charlie's grandmother is supportive, in more ways than you would think, but you have to read the book to find out more. Some of the solutions Charlie comes up with are a bit of a stretch. For example, his father reads in the newspaper that a man was found on the beach in Miami, no foot prints, his bones were broken but they were broken after death, cause of death was hypothermia. Charlie has the one and only possible solution, The man was a stowaway on an airplane . He stowed away in the landing gear and when it got to thirty thousand feet he froze to death, when the landing gear came down, he fell out and on to the beach. Throughout the main story there are little brain teasers like this, mostly from his assistant Henry who wants to try and stump him. You can find this book in our Children section of the library.
When I heard a buzz about a British bestseller written by a very funny woman who wasn't afraid to talk about feminism, I thought, "This is the book for me!" And when I checked out the book and found a blurb on it that referred to it as "the British version of Tina Fey's Bossypants," I thought, "this is definitely the book for me!" Although I see only a few similarities between Bossypants and Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman (both written by funny women who are willing to acknowledge the difficulties of being a mother), it really was the book for me. Caitlin Moran began her career as a columnist for Melody Maker (a British music magazine) at the ripe young age of 16. Her book is a funny but pertinent look at feminism and women in the Western world today, told through important events/mistakes over the course of her life and career. She's warm, irreverent, and a bit crass. Reading this book felt to me like getting back in touch with an old friend and laughing about ridiculous life choices made in an effort to be a woman.
If you can get past the title, you'll love the book. The story takes place in Oslo, Norway, days before the annual Norwegian Independence Day celebration. 11 year old Nilly has just moved to his new house where he meets his new neighbor, 11 year old Lisa. Nilly is very small - which is important to remember. Living next door to Lisa is the inventor, Doctor Proctor. Doctor Proctor has invented many things, including a powder that makes you glow green and the all important fart powder (regular strength) and fartonaut powder (extra strength). You'll also meet the not so nice twins Truls and Trym, and Anna Conda. You can decide what you think of Anna. There is intrigue, revenge, adventure, lots of laughter and of course - farts! The humor and magic has been compared to Roald Dahl. There are two more books in the series to enjoy, Bubble in the Bathtub and Who Cut the Cheese? My youngest son and I really liked the book and will be starting the next one tonight.
If you are looking for a book that has a guy who can open any lock, one who can disappear in a puff of smoke, a guy who dresses in medieval armor and carries around a sword, spells that only partially work and an extremely smart monkey then Janet Evanovich's latest book "Wicked Business" might be for you. (You should read "Wicked Appetite" first). In "Wicked Business" Lizzy, the cupcake maker and sensor of magical objects, and Diesel, a magically enhanced good guy are tracking down the Luxuria stone (Latin for lust) one of the seven ancient stones that hold the power of the seven deadly sins. Professor Gilbert Reedy is tossed out of his fourth floor window. When Diesel and Lizzy show up with Carl the monkey, Carl runs up the professor's body and comes away with a tiny key in his hand. Lizzy and Diesel have to find out what the tiny key opens, solve some riddles, and find the magical stone before Wuff the magically enhanced not good guy cousin of Diesel. The fun of reading Janet Evanovich's novels is not so much the actual solve the mystery, but the journey, all the mishaps that occur along the way. Enjoy.
