Madeleine L'Engle (November 29, 1918 – September 6, 2007[1]) was an American writer best known for young-adult fiction, particularly the Newbery Medal-winning A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels: A Wind in the Door, National Book Award-winning[2][a] A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time. Her works reflect both her Christian faith and her strong interest in modern science.
Early life[edit]
Madeleine L'Engle Camp was born in New York City on November 29, 1918, and named after her great-grandmother, Madeleine L'Engle, otherwise known as Mado.[3] Her maternal grandfather was Florida banker Bion Barnett, co-founder of Barnett Bank in Jacksonville, Florida. Her mother, a pianist, was also named Madeleine. Her father, Charles Wadsworth Camp, was a writer, a critic, and a foreign correspondent who, according to his daughter, suffered lung damage from exposure to mustard gas during World War I. (In a 2004 New Yorker profile of the writer, relatives of L'Engle disputed the mustard gas story, claiming instead that Camp's illness was caused by alcoholism.[4])
L'Engle wrote her first story at age five and began keeping a journal at age eight.[5] These early literary attempts did not translate into academic success at the New York City private school where she was enrolled. A shy, clumsy child, she was branded as stupid by some of her teachers. Unable to please them, she retreated into her own world of books and writing. Her parents often disagreed about how to raise her, and as a result she attended a number of boarding schools and had many governesses.[6] The L'Engles traveled frequently. At one point, the family moved to a château near Chamonix in the French Alps, in what Madeleine described as the hope that the cleaner air would be easier on her father's lungs. Madeleine was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. However, in 1933, L'Engle's grandmother fell ill, and they moved near Jacksonville, Florida to be close to her. L'Engle attended another boarding school, Ashley Hall, in Charleston, South Carolina. When her father died in 1935, Madeleine arrived home too late to say goodbye.[7]
L'Engle attended Smith College from 1937 to 1941. After graduating cum laude from Smith,[8] she moved to an apartment in New York City. In 1942, she met actor Hugh Franklin when she appeared in the play The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov.[9] L'Engle married Franklin on January 26, 1946, the year after the publication of her first novel, The Small Rain. (Later she wrote of their meeting and marriage, "We met in The Cherry Orchard and were married in The Joyous Season.")[8] The couple's first daughter, Josephine, was born in 1947.
The family moved to a 200-year-old farmhouse called Crosswicks in Goshen, Connecticut in 1952. To replace Franklin's lost acting income, they purchased and operated a small general store, while L'Engle continued with her writing. Their son Bion was born that same year.[10] Four years later, seven-year-old Maria, the daughter of family friends who had died, came to live with the Franklins, and they adopted her shortly thereafter. During this period, L'Engle also served as choir director of the local Congregational Church.[11]
L'Engle determined to give up writing on her 40th birthday (November 1958) when she received yet another rejection notice. "With all the hours I spent writing, I was still not pulling my own weight financially." Soon she discovered both that she could not give it up and that she had continued to work on fiction subconsciously.[12]
The family returned to New York City in 1959 so that Hugh could resume his acting career. The move was immediately preceded by a ten-week cross-country camping trip, during which L'Engle first had the idea for her most famous novel, A Wrinkle in Time, which she completed by 1960. It was rejected more than thirty times before she handed it to John C. Farrar;[12] it was finally published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1962.[11]
In 1960 the Franklins moved to an apartment in the Cleburne Building on West End Avenue; the apartment was sold by the estate for $4 million in 2008.[13] From 1960 to 1966 (and again in 1989 and 1990), L'Engle taught at St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's School in New York. In 1965 she became a volunteer librarian at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, also in New York. She later served for many years as writer-in-residence at the Cathedral, generally spending her winters in New York and her summers at Crosswicks.
During the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, L'Engle wrote dozens of books for children and adults. One of her books for adults, Two-Part Invention, was a memoir of her marriage, completed after her husband's death from cancer on September 26, 1986.
Later years[edit]
L'Engle was seriously injured in an automobile accident in 1991 but recovered well enough to visit Antarctica in 1992.[11] Her son, Bion Franklin, died on December 17, 1999. He was forty-seven years old.[14]
In her final years, L'Engle became unable to travel or teach due to reduced mobility from osteoporosis, especially after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage in 2002. She also abandoned her former schedule of speaking engagements and seminars. A few compilations of older work, some of it previously unpublished, appeared after 2001.
L'Engle died of natural causes at Rose Haven, a nursing facility close to her home in Litchfield, Connecticut, on September 6, 2007, according to a statement by her publicist the following day.[15] She is buried in the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in Manhattan, New York City, New York.
Religious beliefs[edit]
L'Engle was a very strong Episcopalian and believed in universal salvation, writing that "All will be redeemed in God's fullness of time, all, not just the small portion of the population who have been given the grace to know and accept Christ. All the strayed and stolen sheep. All the little lost ones."[16] As a result of her promotion of Christian universalism, many Christian bookstores refused to carry her books, which were also frequently banned from Christian schools and libraries. However, some of her most secular critics attacked her work for being too religious.[17]
Her views on divine punishment were similar to those of George MacDonald, who also had a large influence on her fictional work. She said "I cannot believe that God wants punishment to go on interminably any more than does a loving parent. The entire purpose of loving punishment is to teach, and it lasts only as long as is needed for the lesson. And the lesson is always love."[18]
On writing for children[edit]
Soon after winning the Newbery Medal for her 1962 "junior novel" A Wrinkle in Time, L'Engle discussed children's books in The New York Times Book Review.[19] The writer of a good children's book, she observed, may need to return to the "intuitive understanding of his own childhood", being childlike although not childish. She claimed, "It's often possible to make demands of a child that couldn't be made of an adult ... a child will often understand scientific concepts that would baffle an adult. This is because he can understand with a leap of the imagination that [which] is denied the grown-up who has acquired the little knowledge that is a dangerous thing." Of philosophy, etc, as well as science, "the child will come to it with an open mind, whereas many adults come closed to an open book. This is one reason so many writers turn to fantasy (which children claim as their own) when they have something important and difficult to say."[19]
Awards, honors, and organizations[edit]
In addition to the numerous awards, medals, and prizes won by individual books L'Engle wrote, she personally received many honors over the years.[11] These included being named an Associate Dame of Justice in the Venerable Order of Saint John (1972);[20] the USM Medallion from The University of Southern Mississippi (1978); the Smith College Award "for service to community or college which exemplifies the purposes of liberal arts education" (1981); the Sophia Award for distinction in her field (1984); the Regina Medal (1985); the ALAN Award for outstanding contribution to adolescent literature, presented by the National Council of Teachers of English (1986);[21] and the Kerlan Award (1990).
In 1985 she was a guest speaker at the Library of Congress, giving a speech entitled "Dare to be Creative!" That same year she began a two-year term as president of the Authors Guild. In addition she received over a dozen honorary degrees from as many colleges and universities, such as Haverford College.[22] Many of these name her as a Doctor of Humane Letters, but she was also made a Doctor of Literature and a Doctor of Sacred Theology, the latter at Berkeley Divinity School in 1984. In 1995 she was writer-in-residence for Victoria Magazine. In 1997 she was recognized for Lifetime Achievement from the World Fantasy Awards.[23]
L'Engle received the annual Margaret A. Edwards Award from the American Library Association in 1998. The Edwards Award recognizes one writer and a particular body of work "for significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature". Four books by L'Engle were cited: Meet the Austins, A Wrinkle In Time, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and A Ring of Endless Light (published 1960 to 1980).[24] In 2004 she received the National Humanities Medal[12] but could not attend the ceremony due to poor health.
In a 2012 survey of School Library Journal readers, A Wrinkle in Time was voted the number two children's novel behind Charlotte's Web.[25][26]
In 2013, a crater on Mercury was named after L'Engle.[27]
The Madeleine L'Engle Collection[edit]
Since 1976, Wheaton College in Illinois has maintained a special collection of L'Engle's papers, and a variety of other materials, dating back to 1919.[28] The Madeleine L'Engle Collection includes manuscripts for the majority of her published and unpublished works, as well as interviews, photographs, audio and video presentations, and an extensive array of correspondence with both adults and children, including artwork sent to her by children.
Bibliographic overview[edit]
L'Engle's best-known works are divided between the "Chronos" and "Kairos" frameworks.[29] The former is the framework in which the stories of the Austin family take place and is presented in a primarily realistic setting, though occasionally with elements that might be regarded as science fiction[citation needed]. The latter is the framework in which the stories of the Murry and O'Keefe families take place and is presented sometimes in a realistic setting and sometimes in a more fantastic or magical milieu[citation needed]. Generally speaking, the more realistic Kairos material is found in the O'Keefe stories[citation needed], which deal with the second-generation characters. However, the Murry-O'Keefe and Austin families should not be regarded as living in separate worlds, because several characters cross over between them, and historical events are also shared[citation needed].
In addition to novels and poetry, L'Engle wrote many nonfiction works, including the autobiographical Crosswicks Journals and other explorations of the subjects of faith and art. For L'Engle, who wrote repeatedly about "story as truth", the distinction between fiction and memoir was sometimes blurred. Real events from her life and family history made their way into some of her novels, while fictional elements, such as assumed names for people and places, can be found in her published journals.[30]
A theme, often implied and occasionally explicit, in L'Engle's works is that the phenomena that people call religion, science, and magic are simply different aspects of a single seamless reality.[citation needed]
Important L'Engle characters[edit]
Most of L'Engle's novels from A Wrinkle in Time onward are centered on a cast of recurring characters, who sometimes reappear decades older than when they were first introduced. The "Kairos" books are about the Murry and O'Keefe families, with Meg Murry and Calvin O'Keefe marrying and producing the next generation's protagonist, Polly O'Keefe. L'Engle wrote about both generations concurrently, with Polly (originally called Poly) first appearing in 1965, well before the second book about her parents as teenagers (A Wind in the Door, 1973). The "Chronos" books center on Vicky Austin and her siblings. Although Vicky's appearances all occur during her childhood and teenage years, her sister Suzy also appears as an adult in A Severed Wasp, with a husband and teenage children. In addition, two of L'Engle's early protagonists, Katherine Forrester and Camilla Dickinson, reappear as elderly women in later novels. Rounding out the cast are several characters "who cross and connect": Canon Tallis, Adam Eddington and Zachary Gray, who each appear in both the Kairos and Chronos books.[29]

Dearest art.party.blog.friends -
Goodness. Â New Year's Eve, upon us already?
Drew has been terribly remiss at blogging and, well, things got pretty crazy with MEETING, IMPORTANT - which was wildly successful and we dearly hope you made it to one of the 39 performances. Â Yeah, 39. Â Crazy, right? Â How on earth did we survive?
Actually, that answer is a simple one: through the hard work and dedication of the absolutely amazing cast. Â Nick Delany, Stephen Travierso, Carolyn McCandlish, Jody Flader, Lauren Jackson, Daniel Kublick, Michael Micalizzi, Dave Ingber, Kristen da Costa… we couldn't've done it without you guys. Â A fantastic team - and featuring no fewer than 5 art.party company members.
For those of you keeping track, that means there's someone in the cast who's now a full-time company member that you might not be aware of. Â Details to come in the New Year - we have to keep some things a surprise.
We'll be updating you with an annual report and some fun happenings ahead for art.party - but as we close the books on 2011 and on season.three (and prepare to take a well-deserved break), we just wanted to say thank you. Â Thank you for reading, for watching, for partying with us. Â Have a safe and happy New Year - we'll certainly see you soon!

I don't mind them bringing back the maps from CoDMW, but I'd rather play the maps and a game I already have than a spending $15 for something I already have. But since there's new perks, titles, emblems, and spec-ops missions, I'll probabky end up getting them anyways.

Since most people believe that the wii targets the younger audience, this may be Sony's attempt to bring motion controls to a more mature audience. At GCD, the games they previewed for motion controls were titles that wouldn't be on the wii (thank god) like socom.

All last week, the bad news about climate change tore through science circles like a twister through Kansas.
First, the International Energy Association (IEA) reported that global greenhouse gas emissions hit record highs in 2010, threatening to catapult Earth over the 2 degree Celsius temperature rise that, scientists predict, will lead to cataclysmic changes.
Already we're up about one degree – attributed to anthropogenic causes.
That doesn't sound like much but it's enough to melt glaciers, cause widespread drought, wildfires, flooding, famine and extreme weather.
Which we're seeing already. Russia and Pakistan last year. Manitoba and Mississippi this year.
Says meteorologist Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State, "There is good reason to believe that, with as much as an additional 1C or so warming, we might set in motion the irreversible collapse of the continental ice sheets. Their eventual melting would lead to more than 20 feet of global sea level rise--by any assessment, a catastrophic outcome."
And none of that counts what is already in the system – i.e. those emissions that we haven't really measured or felt the effects of yet.
"We" being the operative word.
It's widely acknowledged that some of the worst polluters – including Canada and the U.S. – will be able weather the coming storms for a lot longer than those wretched millions living in low-lying coastal areas, in rapidly-drying up parts of Africa, South America and Asia and every place where the cost of food takes up the largest chunk of the household budget.
The IEA's numbers were reinforced Tuesday when the US government's Earth Systems Research Laboratory announced that 2011 world green house gas emissions were climbing even higher than last year.
Canada, on a per capita basis, has much to answer for. Population and economic growth, oil and gas exports and our love of light trucks have been among the key drivers of our rising emissions. Then there's Alberta oil sands mining which, according to Environment Canada, spews more greenhouse gases than all the cars on our roads combined.
"Unfortunately, far too many are in denial and political action is at a standstill,'' observes Kevin Trenberth, Distinguished Senior Scientist at the Boulder, Colorado-based National Center for Atmospheric Research. "Once the problem is so obvious to everyone, it is far far too late to do anything about it."
Simply put, although there is some political disagreement, the general scientific consensus is that, in order to head off mass extinctions, huge migrations of climate refugees and, yes, even global warring, carbon dioxide in the air should be cut back to 350 parts per million (ppm) from the current 390 ppm (or so).
That sense of urgency is why many in scientific circles are advocating non-violent civil disobedience (NVCD) to shake up governments, industry and media.
Even climate change superstar Al Gore has called for NVCD, which involves breaking the law to protest or to call attention to laws or government policies perceived to be unjust.
Three years ago, he said in a speech to the Clinton Global Initiative, "I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration."
Enough with the greenwishywashing, more and more scientists are saying.
Well-known American environmentalist and activist Bill McKibben founded the grass-roots group 350.org, which attempts to get people all over the world agitating for laws, regulations and policy aimed at reducing GHG (greenhouse gas emissions) reductions.
"We need to do (civil disobedience) on a mass scale," McKibben, author of many books including Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet, tells me. "We need to do it in a way that makes one thing clear to all onlookers: in this fight, we are the conservatives. The radicals are the people who want to alter the composition of the atmosphere."
The idea is spreading.
"Non-violent civil disobedience is justified when there is a history of long-standing harm or violation of people's fundamental rights; when legal and policy means have failed to reduce the harms and violations; and when there is little time remaining to address the problems," University of New England professor John Lemons and Penn State's Donald Brown wrote in last month's Journal of Science and Environmental Politics.
"Simply put, people do not have the right to harm others who have not given their consent to be harmed, and this is exactly what the USA and other countries continue to do," Lemons told me.
(For more on the theories of justice and civil disobedience, read this. And then read this, the case of one US activist who faces a possible 10 year sentence and up to $750K in fines, even though he never hurt a fly.)
Environmental activists have long engaged in civil disobedience.
Greenpeace, to name one group, has long specialized in it.
In 2009, 20 activists were arrested after they scaled Parliament's west block, covered it with banners demanding government action on climate change.
Last week, two members camped out in an 'Arctic survival pod' suspended from an oil rig off the coast of Greenland, in an effort to stop a Scottish oil firm from drilling. The activists demand to know how Cairn Energy would cope with a BP Deepwater Horizon-style disaster if something goes wrong in pristine Arctic waters.
Noted Australian climate advocate Clive Hamilton (Affluenza: When Too Much is Not Enough, Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist The Truth About Climate Change) insists that the moral obligation to act now trumps obedience to the law.
"Those who engage in civil disobedience are usually the most law-abiding citizens—those
who have most regard for the social interest and the keenest understanding of the democratic process," he emails from Cambridge where he is a visiting professor at Oxford.
Civil disobedience has a long and proud tradition, of course. It helped bring about civil rights in the US, end the Vietnam war, and kept loggers out of BC's Clayoquot Sound. African-Americans boycotted bus lines and defiantly drank out of "whites-only" public water fountains, young men publicly burned their draft cards and thousands blockaded roads to keep pulp and paper companies out old growth forests.
The member-supported Council of Canadians has engaged in all sorts of civil disobedience, including sandbagging towns and provincial legislatures to point out how rising sea levels would affect them.
"It's not an action to be taken lightly,'' says Andrea Harden-Donahue, the Council's Energy and Climate Justice campaigner. "We do believe that all other democratic means should be pursued first and continue to be pursued, even with a civil disobedience strategy.
"But we feel that it is justified to address climate change, especially given that the Harper government has refused to take action, and because of the urgency."
Most lawmakers – and even most people -- don't seem to think much of the tactic. Witness police actions against non-violent stunts such as teddy bear catapults at global summits, or citizen complaints of tied up traffic during protests and sit-ins. How many Canadians say that last year's peaceful protestors at the Toronto G20 Summit should have just stayed home if they didn't want to be tackled, cuffed with plastic cables and tossed into cages without charges?
"People from across the political spectrum love to praise civil disobedience-- as long as we're talking about past social movements," observes US journalist Will Potter, author of Green Is the New Red: An Insider's Account of a Social Movement under Siege. "For instance, on the very same day that members of Congress were breaking ground for a new memorial honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his activism, a bill was passed labeling civil disobedience as 'terrorism' if it is done by animal rights and environmental activists."
"Most people are divorced from the history of social change," notes Greenpeace Canada's climate and energy campaigner Mike Hudema, author of An Action a Day Keeps Global Capitalism Away. "From the eight-hour workday, to women's right to vote, to the end of slavery -- all of these involved good people willing to break the law."
One much talked-about recent case of civil disobedience within the scientific community is that of NASA climatologist and Columbia University professor James Hansen who, along with others, was charged with obstructing police and impeding traffic in West Virginia, while protesting mountain-top coal mining.
Here he is on Letterman a couple of years ago, talking about his then just-published book, Storms of my Grandchildren. It's a great interview.
Hansen, who calls climate change "the great moral challenge of this century,'' has been helping other activists who get into legal trouble, including six Greenpeace members tried in 2008 for vandalizing a coal power station's smokestack. With his expert testimony, they convinced the court that, despite all the expensive havoc they wreaked, even greater damage – climate change – was being prevented from hurting people.
The decision shocked both government and industry: The activists were found not-guilty by reason of "lawful excuse" -- a judgement which opens the door for more climate justice civil disobedience.
In Canada, we have a somewhat similar but different defence, the defence of necessity. Conceivably, it could be used like the defence of "lawful excuse" was in the UK.
"We do believe that the law, and actions taken within the law, are ultimately necessary to addressing the problem of climate change,'' explains Andrew Gage, acting executive director of West Coast Environmental Law in Victoria, BC.
Tomorrow the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change begins in Bonn.
Wait for a lot of blather and political positioning, but not much commitment for change – or even a commitment to make a commitment for change from developed nations. Meanwhile, the poor nations who will take the brunt of climate change will just have to take it.
Me, I am glad I am getting on in years so I won't have to see what's coming. I always felt and, as it turns out, scientist Michael Mann sees it the same way, that, well, here's how he in an email: "Of all the early 70s distopian movies, Soylent Green was actually the most prophetic in terms of providing a vision for a worst case anthropogenic climate future..."
"I don't think most people realize how little time we have left,'' warns Lester Brown, founder of the Washington-based Earth Policy Institute and author of the just-published World on the Edge: How to Prevent Environmental and Economic Collapse. "The cliff is not that far away.''
But hey, the disaster folks will make a buck.
JUST A NOTE: In order to do this post, I spoke to many distinguished and committed scientists. I just want to thank those that I cited, as well as those I didn't, including Scott Mandia and Ray Weymann.
HEATING UIPDATE: Well, here's a surprise.
The UN climate talks re-opened in Bonn on Monday with developing countries increasingly resentful that money promised 18 months ago to help them adapt to climate change has not been made available.
New research by the World Resources Institute (WRI) shows that the world's 21 developed countries and the European commission have publicly announced pledges of $28bn in "fast-track" money after a commitment made in Copenhagen in 2009. While this is close to the $30bn promised for the 2010-2012 period, only around $12bn has actually been budgeted for by countries and as little as around 30% has been delivered in some cases.

For my husband and I, yesterday was not a picnic and firework-filled day of fun. It was a work day. We have some mutual projects to take care of, so day off = getting shit done time. And since we live in Southern California, almost everything was open in spite of the national holiday, which left us with no excuse to play hooky.
Unfortunately, sometimes we get caught up in minutiae.
Around mid-morning we decided on some props that were absolutely necessary for a photo. Searching for props, by the way, is like a black hole for us. We become fixated with an idea, and suddenly a wild goose chase begins sending us all over town. Yesterday, that prop was an ashtray. Well, actually it was an ashtray and a scalpel. But we quickly determined the scalpel wasn't going to be easy to find, and settled instead on some tortuous looking apparatus we found at a gargantuan nail salon supply warehouse, which was so filled with gnarly chemicals that I'm pretty sure we upped our cancer risk tremendously during our five minute visit. Anyway, after that we focused on finding an ashtray, because how hard could that be?
Pretty freaking impossible, as it turned out.
Our search took us to vintage stores, thrift stores, the freaking 99 Cent Store, numerous liquor stores, and my personal favorite, a smoke shop. All I can say is…wow. An incredibly interesting group of people congregated, it reeked of weed and cigarette smoke, and the girl working the counter looked like a complete and utter train wreck. I'm talking I've been partying three days straight and the only thing keeping me standing is the bucket of coffee I consumed. And meth, kind of train wreck.
My husband stood out like a sore thumb. I, on the other hand, fit right in. Yup, everyone checked out my man like he was the po-po, but they took one look at me and saw a kindred spirit (mistakenly, I might add. For whatever reason, every time I ever attempted to smoke weed, it made me feel like I had jam, or some sticky substance, on my hands. Spending two hours repeatedly washing them is not my idea of fun, thank you very much). I mentioned a few days ago the fact that I still can't wear contact lenses, but because I am stupid stubborn, I popped in a pair anyway. Of course they only made my eyes redder, and every place we went into yesterday I got stares of disapproval. I kinda wanted to blurt out, 'hey I'm not stoned, it's just a nasty case of pink eye', and then touch the folks that gave me the dirty looks, but I didn't want to contract any stranger's germs. The peeps in the smoke shop, however, took one look at my agitated eyeballs and gave nods of approval.
What a weird place for me to fit in…
So we never found an ashtray, or not one useable for our purposes, I should say. The smoke shop had pot leaf and Hello Kitty (geez, what won't that cat put her face on?) ashtrays, but nothing plain and normal. I'm not a smoker, but I know tons of people smoke, in spite of unbelievably high taxes and, you know, lung cancer. Where do they ash? Surely they don't all use coke cans and coffee cups? Right? I mean, what are they gonna do when coffee is declared evil, and regular soda is banned for sugar content and diet soda for chemical sweeteners, and cans are banned because…whatever? Huh?
What about you guys? How did you spend Independence Day?

Lovelace Health System is a proud sponsor of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women event.
In 2004, the American Heart Association (AHA) faced a challenge. Cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were not paying attention. In fact, many even dismissed it as an "older man's disease." To dispel the myths and raise awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of women, the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women - a passionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health.
This year's Go Red for Women event will be held:
Wednesday, February 27, 2013 from 11am-1:30pm at the Hotel Albuquerque located at 800 Rio Grande Blvd. Space is limited, and we are expecting a sold-out event this year, so get your sponsorships, tables or tickets secured today!
For more information, visit www.heart.org/albuquerquenmgoredluncheon or call Kathi Bradley at 353-5800, or 353-5818.
Make It Your Mission to fight heart disease in women. By sharing this commitment, together we can help save lives. Be a part of this extraordinary day.
Lovelace Health System also invites you to:
Indulgences of the Heart: Wine & Chocolate Tasting
Join Lovelace and the American Heart Association for an evening of red wine and dark chocolate. The event will also include local heart-healthy vendors and health tips from the providers of the Heart Hospital of New Mexico @ Lovelace Medical Center. Open to the public, no cost to attend.
Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 5:30pm

Building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.
Issues 2012 provides candidates for elected office the ability to quickly identify the key issues of the day and present clear policy recommendations, supported by facts, for addressing them.
The Issues
Before the American Revolution, subjects were required to swear loyalty to the reigning monarch. Many colonial documents included oaths of allegiance to the British king. The United States Constitution, however, contains a simple requirement in Article VI, Clause 3 that "the Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution."

A recent post on Otts facebook page he stated that he is wanting to do a 10th year anniversary album of Hallucinogen In Dub. He was asking about ideas for what to do "In Dub".
My thoughts where maybe some older gems like Beast-Spawn, Hallucinogen-Pipeworm, Hikikomori track Ott did. Maybe even collab with Benji and Si for a Flock of Beeps In Dub, seeing as how the original hard drive corrupted they could recreate the whole album with a Dub style.
Any ideas?
