Soloists Dr. Jimmy Simmons and Grammy-award winner Don Rollins will make guest appearances, and there will be a silent auction and other fun surprises.

Concert Series continues Thursday, March 7, as the Wind Ensemble and Concert Band perform classic symphonic selections by Edvard Greig and Leonard Bernstein, and premieres an original composition in honor of Wayne Dyess, longtime director of jazz studies at Lamar, who died Feb. 27.

Which swing set or playhouse is right for your backyard depends upon how many kids will be using it, what your safety needs are, and what kinds of equipment your kids prefer. Swing sets can come with a variety of core activities and offer a number of optional accessories to maximize the fun, too. Some of the most popular activities for swing sets are: classic swings, tire swings, disc swings, slides, fireman poles, hanging rings, rope ladders, and tic-tac-toe spinner boards.
Once you've picked out some of the activities you're looking for, it's time to think about some of the other basic swing set questions.
Consider the size of your yard. Do you want the swing set to take up the entire yard or only a portion? Be sure to allow plenty of room around the swing set in order to prevent injuries.
Swing sets may be composed of wood, metal, plastic, or a variety of two or all three. Factors such as your preferred aesthetics and safety needs are important to consider as you select your swing set. For instance, a wooden play set may have a nicer appearance, yet it may also present sharper edges and splinters. Additionally, metal swing sets may be most economical, yet do not always offer the longevity of wooden or plastic sets.
Be sure to choose a swing set or playhouse suited to how it will be used in your backyard. Consider the ages and number of children who will be using it. While optional accessories can always be replaced or added later, the equipment's core components should stand the test of time. Pay attention to the details, too. Such things as rounded corners and pinch-free chain links have an influence on a child's safety.
Are you ready to choose your perfect swing set or playhouse? Explore our selection and find the equipment that's right for you and your family. No need to worry about getting your equipment when you shop with SamsClub.com; many of the swing sets we offer include free shipping! Let Sam's Club help you make enjoying the outdoors more fun this summer.

Despite a recent report from Pro Football Weekly suggesting the Green Bay Packers may cut Mike Neal following the 2012 NFL draft, releasing the 24-year-old, third-year defensive end without seeing him in another training camp makes very little sense.
It's easy to understand the thought process behind the original idea, however.
Two injury-riddled seasons after the Packers picked Neal in the second round of the 2010 NFL draft has some thinking of former first-round bust Justin Harrell. A four-game suspension for violating the league's performance enhancers policy has others envisioning Johnny Jolly, a talented defensive end who continues to fight his codeine demons.
Neal is certainly skating on thin ice—maybe the thinnest of ice.
But if that ice is going to break, the Packers should let it happen on the warm, humid practice fields outside the Don Hutson Center. Cutting Neal anytime before—like following the NFL draft—would be doing a disservice to a roster that needs to sap every ounce of talent from the defensive players GM Ted Thompson will bring to camp.
For all of Neal's red flags, little incentive exists for Thompson to cut Neal loose before he gets the chance to stack him up against a couple of the likely picks at the position and the remaining players at the defensive end depth chart.
Get Neal into camp, see where his knee and shoulder are at physically, figure out his mindset following a tough 24 months and then make a final decision on whether or not to move forward. While the coaching staff will get a limited opportunity at those things over the next couple of months, there's no better situation to go down the check list than training camp.
If Neal shows that he can give the roster something over the final 12 games, I'd assume Thompson would find him a spot on the final 53-man. At just $490,000 for the 2012, Neal if far from a salary-cap strain.
If he's the same ineffective player he was over the final nine games of 2011, or can't keep himself on the practice field, then you make the decision to let Neal go. The bust label would be "proven," and there's little financial fallback for giving him the pink slip.
And here's the thing: Thompson is more willing to give a young player like Neal too many chances than too little. Look at Harrell. Look at Pat Lee, a fellow former second-round pick who played out his rookie contract in Green Bay despite showing very little.
At this point, even with the injuries and suspension, Neal is probably a chance short of hitting Thompson's limit. At a position so thin and starved for difference makers, it's hard to see why Thompson would change his historical course with Neal.
When push comes to shove, this decision shouldn't be made too soon.
Neal has failed the organization for two straight seasons, but he isn't yet a failure. Thompson should give Neal a chance to make something for himself in a make-or-break training camp, and then sit down to decide his fate with the Packers.
I can't see Thompson making this decision any other way.

Nestled in the middle of the Black Forest, Camp Cris Dobbins offers sweeping views of Pikes Peak and the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Scouts will have a hard time choosing between the more than 50 merit badges offered here, and will love spending time on the water slides at the outdoor pool, dusting a clay at the Olympic shotgun range, channeling their inner movie star in our Moviemaking program, or pretending to be Indiana Jones at our STEM lodge archaeology dig site. The convenience of meals from our dining hall and sleeping on raised wooden platforms in canvas wall tents will allow Scouts to focus on the only thing that matters: their next outdoor adventure!
Start the morning right, as you enjoy a hearty meal from the dining hall and a morning assembly full of Scouting spirit. After a quick stop by the campsite to grab your day pack and enjoy a jam-packed morning of fun and exciting merit badge sessions. Pick from many Eagle-required merit badges; work on shotgun, rifle and archery at our world class shooting facilities; experience true adventure with our climbing and rappelling programs; and jump in to our aquatics programs with sailing, swimming, canoeing, lifesaving and rowing.
Enjoy a relaxing lunch and afternoon ice cream break at the trading post before gearing back up for more merit badge sessions and free activity time. As the sun sinks below the mountains in the distance, dinner is served and evening assembly gathers everyone together again. But the fun doesn't stop there! During evening program, enjoy a number of fun activities and experience parts of camp that only come alive after dark. Make a customized music video in front our green screen, play volleyball, brand personal items with cool designs, work on your Totin' Chip, or touch a live tarantula. Finally, once you have had all the fun you can stand, return to your tent and get ready to do it all over again tomorrow.
Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch has partnered with one of Colorado's premier rafting companies, River Runners, to provide units or individuals attending Camp Cris Dobbins or Camp Dietler the opportunity to raft down the Arkansas River as part of their summer camp experience!
The Mission: Adventure program is the high adventure program at Camp Cris Dobbins and Camp Dietler. This program emphasizes adventure in activities such as: mountain biking, rock climbing, an overnight trek, a service project, boating, geocaching and a trip to the Manitou Incline! Mission: Adventure is for Scouts over the age of 14 looking to get more out of the summer camp experience. By accepting this challenge, Scouts will be unable to attend other merit badge classes for this is an all-day program throughout the week. Adventure is out there; this is how you find it.
Scouts should not be the only ones having fun at camp! Cris Dobbins offers a wide variety of activities for adult leaders to participate in. Surf the web on our wireless high speed Internet, relax with a cup of coffee in the leader lounge, and participate in various training programs like Aquatics Supervision and Climb on Safely. You can also work on earning your Scoutmaster Challenge patch by completing a list of fun requirements designed to keep adults active throughout the week. This program is open to all adult leaders.
Most troops stay in campsites set up with canvas tents on wooden platforms, but some campsites are open to allow troops the option of bringing their own tents. Each campsite has its own latrine equipped with pit toilets, showers, and hand washing stations. In addition, there are flush toilets and other showering facilities located around camp. Gilwell Hall is equipped with restroom facilities complete with flush toilets, and showers for those who are over 18 years of age.
A heated pool, man-made lake, brand new shooting facilities, horse coral, and a dining hall that seats 350 people are just some of the additional facilities Cris Dobbins has to make your week amazing!

Ann P. "Nip" Melocik, a retired parochial school physical education instructor, died Wednesday of heart failure at Gilchrist Hospice Care in Towson.
The Loch Raven Village resident was 80.
The daughter of a restaurateur and a homemaker, the former Ann Palmisano was born in Shamokin, Pa. She moved to Hamilton with her family in 1940 when her father opened several Palmisano's Sub Shops in the area.
"She got her nickname 'Nip' from taking a little sip of her father's drink, so he named her 'Nipper,' and then everyone began calling her 'Nip,'" said a niece, Wendy Strassner of Atlanta.
When she was a teenager and attending Eastern High School, one of her favorite places was the Hamilton Recreation Center on Sefton Avenue, where she'd teach sports in the afternoon, work in the office and supervise the rolling rink.
In the early 1950s, she worked for several years as a collection manager for Remington Rand Corp. and then went to work for the city Department of Recreation and Parks after realizing she missed working with children.
She worked at the department's Patterson Park Recreation Center and later at Armistead Gardens. In the late 1950s, she was a YWCA summer camp director and sports instructor, and then established her own camp, Valleybrook Summer Day Camp.
In 1961, she began teaching physical education at St. Mary's parochial school in Govans.
She left St. Mary's in 1967 and began teaching at St. Francis of Assisi, where she remained until 1974.
Mrs. Melocik joined the faculty of St. Ursula parochial school, where she taught until 1979, when she left to teach at St. John the Evangelist in Hydes for the next four years.
She worked at the Loch Raven Recreation Center for six years until retiring in 1989.
Mrs. Melocik was a fan of "anything to do with the Kennedy family, for whom she had great love," said Ms. Strassner.
Mrs. Melocik was a saxophonist.
She also was a fan of Al Jolson and the von Trapp family.
"She loved playing her sax and when we were kids, she began doing an imitation of Al Jolson," said her sister, Joanne Palmisano Strassner McClayton of Lutherville.
"Every night my father would ask her to do her Jolson imitation. They both loved the music, and she'd even get down on her knee and do 'Swanee,'" her sister said. "She was still doing it but not getting down on her knees much these days."
In addition to being an admirer of Jolson's music, whose recording she enjoyed listening to, Mrs. Melocik was also a fan of the movies "The Jolson Story" and "The Sound of Music."
Mrs. Melocik was a friend of Agathe von Trapp, a member of the famed Trapp Family Singers who lived in Glyndon.
"Through Nip, I got to meet Maria von Trapp. I was in the seventh grade and I had written to her telling her I was going to write a report about her. And Nip drove me to Stowe, Vt., to meet her," said Ms. Strassner.
Mrs. Melocik was a communicant of Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church, 8501 Loch Raven Blvd., Baynesville, where a memorial Mass will be offered at noon Sept. 23.
Also surviving is her husband of 46 years, Francis X. Melocik, a retired draftsman; a daughter, Donna Palermo of Abingdon; a brother, Joseph F. Palmisano of Ocean Pines; two grandsons; and three great-granddaughters.

Owner:Mark Mederski
It's hard to imagine the glee that lovers of high-performance motorcycles must have felt in 1969. Suddenly, almost every major manufacturer was introducing a new big-bore bike that was leaps ahead of anything ever built before. And 1969 was transformed into the Year of the Super-bike.
The most refined and sophisticated of them all, though, was Honda's CB750. Four cylinders. Four megaphone exhausts. A disc front brake. An overhead camshaft. Amazing fit and finish. The Honda was so revolutionary, in fact, that it overshadowed everything else in the market—the Triumph Trident, the BSA Rocket 3, the Norton Commando Fastback, the Harley XLCH, the Kawasaki Mach III.
Honda made this landmark step by applying what it learned from small-bore bikes and grand-prix racing to a machine clearly designed as a big-bore flagship. Engineers realized that several low-mass, smaller pistons could move faster than a few heavy ones, turning increased RPMs into more power.
The Honda four-cylinder engine, like those from Indian, Ace, Henderson and others back in the teens and '20s, also had one more advantage over a twin—it was smooth.
"At the dealership I went to, the sales trick was for them to stand a nickel on its edge on the engine cases with the thing running," says Mark Mederski, the AMA's vice president for marketing, who owns this machine, previously on display in the Motorcycle Heritage Museum at AMA headquarters in Westerville, Ohio. "If the carbs were in sync, even at idle, the nickel wouldn't fall over."
The bike was more than a rolling, 67-horsepower statement of technological pride from Japan's largest manufacturer, though. It was also Honda's first marketplace shot at the big-bore Brit bikes and Harleys. For the first time, and often for less money, you could run with "serious" motorcycles while riding a Honda.
The new model even won the Daytona in 1970, its first time out. The long shadow cast by the CB750 is visible even today. Transverse-mounted four-cylinder engines still power many of the most popular bikes in the '90s.
That engine configuration now seems normal, commonplace, expected. In 1969, though, there was only one. It came from Honda.

About Wolcott & Bellyache Ridge
South of Interstate 70 about five minutes west of Edwards is an unparalleled enclave of single-family homes with spectacular views and large properties. Bellyache Ridge overlooks Wolcott from the south. Take a relatively short drive up the hill and you'll see these beautiful mountain homes scattered around the hillsides. In Wolcott, there isn't a town center per se but the Wolcott Yacht Club sure acts like one. With its spot right next to the Eagle River and a diverse menu featuring dishes on par with anything you'd find in some of the valley's best restaurants, this is a special place considering its remote location. Up on the ridge, homeowners enjoy views that are seemingly endless, as well as quick access to I-70 and Highway 133, which provides access to Steamboat Springs in just over an hour from Wolcott. Whether you seek a western-style ranch property or a custom luxury home with a view, this area offers buyers space to spread out all while remaining conveniently located to the rest of the valley.

Alien: Isolation Screenshots Appear
Remember those concept and box art images of Sega and Creative Assemly's Alien: Isolation game? Well now we have some screeshots to go with them and oh boy does this look like it's on track to be a lot better than Aliens: Colonial Marines.
That's not saying much, so let me frank, this game has CRT monitors. That's a giant selling point for this game. Why? Because that's the tech that was used in the original Alien movie. Alien was released in 1979, so a game based around the Alien franchise, especially one that takes place not too long after the original film, should have faithful technology, which these screens have in abundance.
There's also a distinct lack of xenomorphs too, not one in fact. In all the screenshots there's not a single alien present and that's a good thing. Alien should be the equivalent of Amnesia in space. Aliens: Colonial Marines made much more sense to try and emulate something like Left 4 Dead, because the sequel was an action movie, but the original film was survival horror at its finest.
So let's count off. We've got: low-tech sci-fi, no aliens to be seen (yet), the traditional motion tracker and a distinct lack of aliasing which is nice to see.
Let's not get out hopes up yet, but I'm starting to get quietly excited by this one. I'm a big Alien fan and this gets the thumbs up from me. So far..
Head over to MegaGames to see more screenshots.


text: As long as they're "part of the game" and unintrusive, I think I could just about live with it. Billboards adoring the course of a racing game are "normal", if they were dynamic they probably wouldn't disturb you any more or less. However, if they aren't in some way passing back the profits to the customer, IE by shaving a few quid off game prices (which, of course, I'm _sure_ they will *cough*) then they can get royally bent!

The Turanza ER300 is Bridgestone's ecologically oriented Grand Touring Summer tire developed for Original Equipment use on Mercedes-Benz sedans, as well as can be used as replacements on other coupes and sedans. The Turanza ER300 is designed to combine traction, handling and comfort in dry and wet conditions, but like all summer tires is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The Turanza ER300 molds a summer tread compound into an asymmetric tread design. Large tread blocks and continuous circumferential ribs provide responsive handling and traction on dry roads, while lateral and circumferential tread grooves help evacuate water from under the tire's footprint to enhance wet traction and reduce hydroplaning. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spiral wrapped aramid and nylon to stabilize the tread area to enhance handling and high-speed capability.
Turanza ER300 tires are also branded with Bridgestone's Ecopia symbol to signify they offer reduced tire rolling resistance to enhance vehicle fuel economy while they lessen the vehicle's environmental impact by helping reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
*Specific sizes featuring Ecopia technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's SPEC tab.
For the best deals on Bridgestone Tyres call Tom Geraghty Tyres in waterford.

There are a lot of things wrong with "Christmas".
(a) It's simply offensive to PETA to see reindeer relegated to a servile position.
(b) The holiday tree - is a symbol of American destruction of the environment and is possible a cause of climate change. It needs to go.
(c) Santa is obese, and you know how Michelle Obama (she of the exceptionally wide ass) feels about that!
(d) Santa is also white, and that demeans people of color/colored people everywhere. The symbol of a rich elderly white man is a thing of the past -- now being remedied through a combination of taxation and ObamaCare death panels.
(e) Democrats are personally threatened by Santa's refusal to treat spoiled children equally. We're ALL winners aren't we - despite our conduct??
(f) There has never been a discussion of an elves' labor union. Since the North Pole is obviously a right to work zone, it needs to be boycotted.
(g) Where is the discussion of Kwanza and its place in our national tradition (forget that it was started by a professor in California in the 1980's)?
Happy Winter Solstice to you and yours, Dale!

I cut (murdered) my tree yesterday from my own property to get ready for the world ending tomorrow. I thought I would wait to decorate until the 22nd just in case.
And, Just in case ... Merry Christmas Dale! Here's wishing you get that 357 under the tree Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Dale: And, thanks for all the great "art-pinions" during the year(s)! :-)
(BTW: Have you ever considered a "Spot-the-Difference" concept comparing, say, the USA before and after Obama? I'm sure if you ever did one it would be an absolute hoot!)
Thanks again!

The one certainty about liberal dogma is that it will call evil good and good evil. It will be 180 degrees wrong on every political question, and it will blame anyone who disagrees with it as a heretic.

There, there, little Dale! Since there is no "war on Christmas," I'm glad to see you're still delusional. Actually I had thought you had blown your brains out in November. But if you don't mind, I'll keep hoping.

Merry solstice Chuck. I said the war isn't on Christmas. Maybe your jackboots are too tight.
- December 22, 2012 at 12:45 AM
From my own perspective, at the very least there seems to be a war on the WORD "Christmas".
I watch shows centered on the event torturing themselves into verbal pretzels not to say it, "Holiday present" "Holiday meal", etc., etc. Same with commercials. PLEASE. There's red and green everywhere, trees, Santa, etc. If you can't bring yourself to utter the word "Christmas", then don't expect me to spend my CHRISTMAS dollars at your establishment.
Why not go whole hog if Christmas offends you so much and actively seek out those Kwanza and Hanukkah dollars and see how far that gets you?
Thank God for you Dale. These are tough times, historical times, and I appreciate all you do. We shall prevail, but it's not going to be pretty.

P.S. I realize that "War on Christmas" isn't what this latest piece is about, I'm just responding to the poor lost Chuck.
That obama. He's a target rich environment. Euripides' comment above is spot on. The current administration embraces all that is mean-spirited and quash all that is good.

Dear Dale,
Would you please tell me what it says on the back of the card Santa's holding, whose front says "No Noel"? Even enlarging it isn't quite big enough for me to read - many thanks!
I have enjoyed your toons for years, but haven't written before now - thank you for sharing your talent and searing observations with us. You rock!

Happy New Year, Dale!
Hope you're still around. We patriots need to stick together, these are VERY tough times and with the overwhelming onslaught of negative news and brainwashing/brainwashed media, it helps to know there are other sane people in the country. Actually, I think we outnumber them, but no one knows it because we have no bullhorn. I sometimes wonder if this is how some of the Germans felt in the late 1930's...
A Fan,

The Bibb Graves Bridge, which serves as a focal point is renowned to be one of only two of its kind south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Its arches are suspended with reinforced concrete! Wetumpka sets out the welcome mat in true Southern style. Located in the heart of central Alabama and serving as the seat of Elmore County, this friendly city invites newcomers to come see this "surprise waiting for you." Wetumpka boasts a little bit of everything for everybody. Mild year-round climate, low taxes, and a low crime rate are attractive features, while at the same time Wetumpka offers complete health care services, an abundance of sports activities, and a rich cultural environment.
Two large lakes, two major rivers and several small bodies of water make it possible o have plenty of outdoor fun, including boating, skiing and canoeing. For the outdoors man and hunter, Wetumpka is a veritable paradise of deer, turkey, quail, dove and squirrel hunting. Recreational activities are possible year round with the mild climate, and residents enjoy swimming, tennis, baseball/softball, and challenging golf courses with driving ranges.
Wetumpka offers some unique tourist sites and local activities for everyone's enjoyment. Check out the action at the Wetumpka Depot Players new location where local actors stage several presentations each year. Or meet your friends at Jasmine Hill Gardens and Outdoor Museum, a 17-acre garden of flowers and statuary which maintains an authentic reproduction of the ruins of the Greek Temple of Hera and Olympian Center (it is called "Alabama's Little Corner of Greece"). Don't miss "Christmas on the Coosa" with its large daytime street parade and night boat parade on the Coosa River. The Coosa River Whitewater Festival features nationally sanctioned whitewater rodeo competition, with kayak and canoe, for professionals and amateurs. Fort Toulouse/Fort Jackson Park has a partially restored French Fort around which re-enactors participate numerous times each year. The two largest annual events, the French and Indian War Encampment in April and the Alabama Frontier Days in early November, along with the other monthly events bring some 150,000 visitors to the park each year. While there, one can also camp, picnic, hike, bike, visit the museum or arboretum, and bring family for other activities.
Live in Wetumpka and you will feel like you've found it all: varied terrain with the natural beauty of lakes, rivers and wildflowers, as well as good farm acreage and domesticated animals.

Impressive down to the last thread. While outstanding paint finishes bring out the appearance of the BMW 8 Series Coupé, luxurious materials with stylish contrast stitching and classy decorative elements enhance the sporty interior – imbuing it with a highly refined look.
This is especially emphasised in the positioned perforations and special quilting of the multi-functional seats. Combining top performance with the highest quality creates an extremely sporty and elegant ambience.
Pulse racing, made to measure. The new BMW 8 Series Coupé unites the character of a sports car with the spirit of BMW luxury setting a whole new standard of superior driving pleasure.
The revolutionary new iDrive 7 operating system ushers in a suite of intuitive and personalised controls. What's more, there is also the new BMW Live Cockpit Professional, which delivers driver-centric controls, with a stunning 10.25" touchscreen information display and a fully digital 12.3" instrument cluster.
The BMW Live Cockpit Professional with navigation function includes a high-quality display network consisting of a high-resolution 10.25" info display that can be operated by touch and a fully digital 1.3" instrument cluster.
Pure dynamics, pure acceleration, pure thrills – with the TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine with 4.4 litres displacement and 390 kW, the BMW 8 Series Coupé pushes both the RPM counter and the driver's pulse to the limit in record time. The luxury sports car takes power and precision to the next level.
The BMW M850i xDrive fully unleashes the race car genes of the BMW 8 Series Coupé. The TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine with a 4.4 litre displacement makes this fact very clear with every metre travelled. True racecar features make the motorsports genes come to life, such as two Twinscroll turbochargers, specially coated cylinder linings and separately controlled cooling circuits. Optimum dynamics and perfect traction are provided by the 20" high-performance wheels, the all-wheel BMW xDrive with rearwheel power emphasis and the M Sport differential. The M850i xDrive also stands out visually with enlarged air inlets, the front spoiler lip, the "M" emblem, the airbreathers on the sides and the rear M rear spoiler.

- AGN as Multi-Messenger Probes of the High-Energy Universe: Observations with the HAWC Observatory
- Time: 2:00 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Asif Imran, Los Alamos National Lab
- Abstract: Ground-based gamma-ray observatories have opened up a new window into the high-energy universe. To date, exciting results reported by experiments such as VERITAS, H.E.S.S., and Milagro include the the detection of photons from nearly 50 relativistic AGN jets at TeV energies. However, the picture of the universe beyond 1 TeV is far from complete. The origin and composition of the extra-galactic ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) remains a central problems in astrophysics. Based on energy considerations, recent studies have argued that highly relativistic jets in AGNs are the best candidates for the sites of UHECR acceleration. Consequently, we may be able to observe >20 TeV emission from nearby AGN contrary to conventional models that predict significant attenuations of the source gamma-ray photons via the diffuse extragalactic background light. The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory, a next-generation ground-based particle shower detector will be sensitive to photon energies from 50 GeV to 100 TeV with angular resolution of 0.3 degrees at E> 1 TeV. HAWC's high duty cycle (~100%) and wide field of view (~2 sr) is ideal to test AGN as possible sites for the acceleration of UHECR. Furthermore, HAWC's observations of an orphan flare from AGN coupled with the detection of coincident neutrinos by the IceCube observatory with allow us to independently probe the acceleration of UHECR in AGN.
In this talk, I will give an overview of the mechanism for the production of high energy photons from UHECR-induced cascade emission along with an update on the current status of the HAWC observatory. I'll also present the sensitivity of the HAWC detector to TeV emission from AGN.

Jay DeMarcus Reveals Wife Delivered New Baby Via Emergency C-Section
Just a few days ago, Rascal Flatts bassist Jay DeMarcus and his wife Allison welcomed baby boy Dylan Jay into the world. Now that DeMarcus is done panicking about his lovely wife's delivery, he's stopped touring for a few days to enjoy some cuddle time--and probably changed plenty of diapers, too. In a recent interview the 41-year-old father shared the reason he was so scared.
DeMarcus panicked when he got a call before a Rascal Flatts show in Detroit, Mich. Allison went into labor early and she was going to undergo a c-section at a Nashville hospital. Since the baby wasn't supposed to arrive until August, DeMarcus told People he immediately went into 'panic mode' after getting the call.
Like any good dad, the award-winning bass player hopped a flight back to Tennessee to be with his wife. DeMarcus arrived about an hour before Dylan Jay arrived, but only had about 20 minutes to hold his son and soak up that new baby smell before going back to Detroit to play the show.
"My wife was still on the operating table so it was very, very hard to leave, but we had a sold-out show and four acts out with us. I wanted to keep my commitment and my wife gets that," he explained. "I had a police escort when I hit the ground and got there 30 minutes before we went on stage, so I just left my scrubs on. The crowd was very sweet and gave me a standing ovation!"
Allison, 35, assured her husband that she and Dylan were doing well once doctors cleared fluid from the baby's lungs. Being the trooper that he is, DeMarcus played two more Rascal Flatts shows over the weekend before returning home to his loving family.
"I literally got back [Monday] morning and Dylan's been in my arms all day," he said. "It's made the stressful weekend worth it to come back and hold him. It's finally sinking in that I've got a boy that's going to carry on our family name and I'm so thrilled to have little Dylan in our lives."
Congratulations to the DeMarcus family on their newest addition!

"About the Use of the Violet Flame"
I have to tell you that when you as a conscious disciple manage the Violet Flame, a parallel activity of the Violet Flame is initiated internally. This results in the vibrational awakening of your chakras. Therefore, each time when you use the gift of the Violet Flame you are asked not only to focalize your attention on what you want to transmute but also on the internal activity which takes place within yourself.
One of the consequences of the continual use of the Violet Flame is the accelerated awakening of all your chakras, you will, step by step, wake up in a different world from where you live now.
This is the space for you to ORGANISE your personal connexion group, to look for likeminded people, to introduce yourSELF and say what you would like to contribute to the every expanding NET OF LIGHT around the world.
You have received clear guidance on a project,type of meditation, course of action to take? You are WELCOME to share here so we can start DREAMING and thus CREATING together!

the Conscious Consumer is a website devoted to exploring the idea that each of us can change the world we live in by simply changing the way we consume.
Each of us, at one time or another, may find our self frustrated or disappointed with our surroundings or our daily life. Decisions we make and decisions others around us make are sometimes in line with how we'd like to live and sometimes not. The problem is that we rarely see how our choices affect our world. Everything around us can seem completely out of our control and out of our hands.
Whether we care to admit it or not we are influencing some of the decisions that create the many frustrating and disappointing activities of the human race – the oil tanker that spills its cargo into the sea, the over weight child that cannot stop eating candy and drinking soda-pop or the corporation that exploits its resources for its own gain, which usually means for the gain of its board of directors and upper management, not its employees. On the other hand we are also in some way responsible for the many moving and innovative decisions of our race – organizations that set new guidelines for transport and manufacturing processes so that they are environmentally and humanly conscious, nutritionists and doctors that guide children's eating behaviours, groups of lawyers and citizens that insure certain corporations pay for their misuse of resources including other human beings and make sure that they don't do it again. Our influence is not as direct as it is with those immediately around us, but it is there, and we can make an impact.
How do we influence these decisions? How do we help one group and deter another? How do we support one group's values and help another group change its values? We make more consciously and informed choices. Each time we buy a product or a service, we place a vote of confidence in that producer or service provider - every source of raw material, every practice of environmental standards, every form of employee relations and every form of communication with the public. Everything that company or group does is something we support. Everything that company or service provider does and believes, we've said yes, go ahead and keep doing it. We've given them a bit of our energy, in the form of our money, to continue doing whatever it is that they do with it without accountability to us for any actions except for our continued support in buying their products and services and our reliance on our overburdened governmental controls to manage and regulate them.
We've almost lost complete sight of the idea that the provider of the things we use and consume should be held accountable for the manner in which they produce or serve us by us. Why? If a local farmer poured waste water into the stream you used as your water supply, you'd most likely have a heated chat with that farmer that day. If you took your horse to the local blacksmith and saw that his apprentice was overworked, barely able to move and looked extremely sick you'd probably say something as you did have the blacksmith over to dinner just the other night. Not many of us live in that small village anymore. For most of us, our water comes from the tap or the bottle and we rely on those who control it and produce it to take care of it. When our car needs repairs, we take it to the local auto shop and rely on the mechanics to use parts and materials that are consciously produced and to regulate their labour needs justly. When was the last time you asked your grocer how the water put in the water bottle you just bought was produced? Did you ask if the plastic they used was recycled? Did you ask your auto mechanic if they disposed of the oil properly? Did you ask the auto-shop worker if they felt that they were fairly paid? These are just a few examples of what we're getting at.
Our goal is to begin with a small step. While we cannot examine everything in detail, we can examine things with a common sense approach. We may not always have a scientific report or a statistical chart, but we will do our best to illustrate our arguments with uncommonly common sense.
Each article will attempt to explore three different perspectives:
Everything from the clothes on our backs and the foods we consume to the materials and services that provide our homes and transportation vehicles have an effect on everything we know. We influence decisions about these products and services every single day with the cash in our pocketbooks and there is no better day than today to become a more conscious consumer.

That the general was aware of her actions was shameful; to disclose it in front of Koden and a stranger much worse. Her cover had been reasonably thorough but not meant for the intense scrutiny the Lushima situation had brought upon her.
Kataji wants to dissemble, to fabricate a reasonable explanation for this inappropriate situation, but the general is sure of himself. His tone leaves no doubt in her mind, and she assumes any protestation on her part will result in him recinding his offer. As gracefully as she can, the woman accepts his words.
"As you say, General."
Xiao Hu tryies to ignore the other woman's obvious disconfort and starts speaking, giving her time to compose herself:
" My troupe and I have been caught in a family feud in Pai San.
A young woman had been apparentky kidnapped by bandits, I discovered that the attempted kidnapping had been staged by the family of the bridegroom, which used it as an excuse for a surprise attack on the bride's family.
I and some allies arrived just in time to save a few of the family's retairners, but one of the attackers was a powerful warlock, one of his spells landed me here.
Those sneaky cowards have likely killed the only family I ever had, I mean to avenge my companions'spirits so that they may rest in peace!"

Koden blinks, only once, and tries to figure out if he heard everyone in the room correctly. Kataji, the woman he had sworn to legally defend, had been attacked while trespassing. The other one, Xiao, had her family killed by a warlock. And the General himself wants to send Koden out into the wilderness of China as part of a reward.
He draws a deep breath. Kataji being a criminal didn't change the good that they did when it came to Lushima or that coward, Teto. Xiao had an unfortunate run of things, but why should help a commoner when he had other affaird to attend to? Yet the better question is what does he have to return to in Japan? His older brothers were samurai and would inherit the house. Koden is nothing more than a foolish third son who believes in myth and legends. His blood begins to burn as he can imagine their derrogatory remarks despite his stellar performance here. Koden's blood begins to burn.
"I'll do it," he says, quickly, impulsively, not giving himself enough time to reconsider.
The geneneral smiles at Koden and Kataji's remarks and turns to Xaio.
"Well it seems your mission is a little easier now yes?" He stands and hands Xiao a scrolled up piece of paper. "Take this to the military barraks and ask for the man in charge, Thyian I think his name is. He will provide you with provisions, maps, possible some weapons and armour too - I cannot say for sure. But he will most suitable tell you where you can get some more local clothing for your companions here." The man moves towards the door ushering you to do the same.
"I have important business to attend to, Thyian should be able to answer all your questions if you have them." He speaks, politely trying to get you to leave.
Sucking up Air since 1984.
Koden stands, and bows, his silk kimono ruffling slightly. He's still refusing to acknowledge the concerns that scratch at the edge of consciousness. Going home might not be much, but it would be safer than traveling into mainland China. Still, if he could acquire some wealth, or fame, or power, perhaps his family might react differently.
"You've been very helpful general," he says, smiling, "it's been an honor to meet you."
Nodding to the others he steps outside and into the hall.
Eager to remove herself from the shameful situation, Kataji merely bows to the general and retreats to the hall behind Koden. She has regained her composure at this point, but her stomach tightens as she notes the stiffness in his back. No doubt the general's words have lessened her greatly in his opinion.
Once they are safely outside she stops, her face once again assuming the emotionless mask she so carefully wears. Koden is still facing away from her, whether by choice or circumstance she cannot say. Her voice is calm, although there might be a note of urgency beneath.
"I never lied to you. Yes, what the general said is true: I was not invited to the feast but surely you see that I couldn't tell you that."
Koden turns and faces Kataji, looking at the woman he had grown to know since arriving in the city. She didn't trust him at first, fair enough, but had things turned out differently she could have easily been convicted, especially had it been revealed that she wasn't a guest. He rubs the bridge of his nose with one finger and holds her gaze for a moment.
His features remain calm, much like her own. Truth be told, he isn't certain how to feel. Could her deception have done anything other than to harm herself? He isn't sure, but clearly losing the case would have cost him and his family the trade agreement and he would have returned home in shame.
Ignore it. That is the past.
"If we're to go out into the world, the three of us will need to learn to trust each other. That means no more secrets, agreed?"
Her dark eyes measure Koden as if seeing him for the first time. Yet none of that emotion makes it to her face, and a long moment passes with the two of them staring at one another, faces like the hard walls of rival fortresses. Finally she folds her arms and bows her head once, quickly, her eyes never leaving his.
"To do less would be dishonorable, and I intend to bring no further shame to my family."
Moving to the Military Barraks a man outside is waiting for you. He greets you and introduces himself as Thyian before leading you inside the large structure and towards the store rooms within. The rooms themselves are well sheltered from the outside and hidden deep under the ground - the more immediate supplies are ontop in easy to access hallways. While the non-essential supplies are bellow in another chamber only accessable by ladders and trap doors throughout the giant complex.
The man moves aside a crate takes a seat after a short way into the complex, resting the latern down at his feet he turns to you three.
"Alright, what do you think you'll need. I'm not sure if we have everything your minds might desire, but i'm sure we can handle most of it." He pats the box he is sitting on. "Food - for instance - we have plenty of it. Armour and weapon's arn't in short supply either but anything magical needs to be cleared before its removed." The man looks down the hallway were a pair of patrolling guards walk by, despite them being almost deadly quiet Thyian seems to have heard them.
"We're not well practiced in giving away powerful items to strangers, infact most of our magic comes from a small group of Wu retainers who practice the mystical arts in secret. Whatever we find also makes its way here too, but almost everything becomes the property of the Nobles, or captains - like me." His brief explaination is said in a hushed tone, as though its not common knowledge or as though he looks down upon the practice.
"So, back to my question, what do you need?"
Sucking up Air since 1984.
"Our journey will be a long one, and we cannot count on being able to stay indoors. Therefore, I think we shall require a tent along with blankets and foodstuff sufficient for many days travel, water, soap, torches, candles, oil, lanterns, flint, tinder, rope, a hammer, shovel and camp axe. A grapnel and several long poles might be useful as well.
"For such gear, I should think we will need a wagon and horses to pull it, along with clothing more appropriate to the land and weather in which we are to travel."
She bows formally, her eyes still on the man, keeping her peripheral vision focused on Koden. Perhaps he could think of something else, although she was still waiting to see how the man would react to her shopping list of items. Though she was comfortable travelling with little more than what she now carried, it never hurt to be prepared.
Koden raises an eyebrow at the list of supplies. Unused to long trips of any sort, especially those that are land-based, he remains quiet. Each of these things could be useful, but he prays they do not have to be in a hurry. They'd need a wagon and a couple horses simply to haul everything that they want. Yet Kataji is prepared for this as well, adding the two requisites to the list.
"Maps," he says quietly, "I would like maps. Both geographical and political if possible. If we get lost it'd be nice to know whose territory we're straying into. Herbs, ones suited for travel, with healing properties would be nice as well. If one of us falls ill we won't know where to find a healer.
"I would know more of these Wu retainers. Who are they? What do they do?"
"Aye, Aye, Aye." The man agrees with the list of supplies as they are spoken. "I can do most of that, horses might be hard but I know a man outside the compound who would give you a pair on my word." He looks at Koden as he asks his question about the Magician Wu retainers.
"Wouldn't we all." The man says crossing his arms and leaning back. "The rumours are wide and varied, truth be told very few people know of their true location let alone their identify. Even fewer have met them." There is an uneasy silence.
"It doesn't bother me, all I know is that me and my men get these toys to play with and Naking feels safer knowing there is a small fortress of magical equipment laying beneath 50,000 men, most of whom are experienced in using them." The man sighs.
"At best, I could offer you some magical parchment, potions, possible a staff. We could part with some armour, perhaps a weapon or two, but we like to keep those around for the men. What we do have plenty of is trinkets." He pauses before explaining himself. "Small magical items, usually minor in nature which arn't really useful to us. We usually give them away as prizes to good soldiers who in turn trade them in the city."
The man rolls back his sleeves to reveal a pair of bronze bracers which glow faintly.
"These for example, almost completely useless for me at my station." The man strikes them together and they spark as though one was flint and the other was steel. However that is not the only effect, after a moment they glow faintly with a blue light and the air in the room becomes sweet like wild flowers.
"Unless I intend to court my enemy, these are useless. But I keep them for my journey into the city - there are some smells I truely do not wish to enter my nostrils."

After what seems like several hours of looking over supplies and picking what will be needed, the trio soon finds themselves with an almost fully laden cart led by a single horse. With enough freash food to last them the week, and enough long life food to last them much longer they wouldn't starve anytime soon. Enough clothing, blankets, and portable accomidation to keep them relatively well off during all kinds of weather plus a few trinkets collected here and there to compensate for other conditions.
All set to depart by nightfall, the trio goes over a map carefully taking note of where they are - where they have to get to, along with what obsticles are in the way. There is a small mountain range between them and their objective but it appears that a settlement on this side of the mountain known as Ohdia Chi is right near some sort of river passage to go through the mountains. The nearest city is Gya Mou but it would lengthen the journey by atleast three days. A small farming villiage is right in the path, though it is not named on the map.
"I would suggest you head there." Says a familiar voice, the General coming to see them off. "Sorry to pry but I saw you poking at the map, that town is unnamed for a reason, probably better that you don't know, though I do know a person there who might help you. Head into town and ask about the 'crazy old hermit in the swamp' and trust me, people will know who you're talking about. Don't be put off though, he's not as crazy and not as much a hermit as you might hear... old yes.. really old." The General concludes.
Sucking up Air since 1984.
Koden blinks at the general's suggestion before quickly nodding his head in appreciation. His eyes stray over to Kataji, attempting to gauge her reaction to the man. Go to a town without a name and ask for a similarly unnamed hermit. He wonders if the two of them will be outsiders simply by virtue of actually having names that don't involve descriptions of where they live or what their professions are.
"Ah, thank you again, general," he says to the man as they set off. He'll just need to trust the man when it comes to advice on the geography in the area. Regardless of his inexperience in China, the fact that a settlement isn't named makes the young man uneasy.
"Shall we?"
Kataji inclines her head and accepts the general's words and advice without any question apparent in her eyes. He had made it clear earlier that she had little choice but to accept this mission. If that was all the information he was going to give them, then she would make due with what he doled out. If she is aware of Koden's scrutiny she makes no sign, her head remaining humbly as the General departs.
"Shall we?"
At his words her head rises. No longer humble, she is once again the same woman he met when he accepted her defense. Her face is neither open nor closed, her eyes are measured and even, her posture is relaxed but ready.
"I, at least, have little choice in the matter."
Climbing up into the driver's seat of the wagon she clucks to the horse as she picks up the reins. Koden joins her and, though her voice remains even, the man thinks he might see just a touch of humor in her eyes.
"You won't mind if I drive, will you?"
"You won't mind if I drive, will you?"
He blinks and then chuckles at her response, saying, "You're a free woman again, I wouldn't deny you anything."
Koden checks the back of the wagon once more before joining his companion up front. Settling into the passenger's side he takes in the Wu city one more time before they set off. He feels a twinge of regret; by all rights he should be on a ship sailing home again, triumphant after his unexpected success in trade contracts. Still, would it matter that much? He is a scholar, a priest, not a warrior and until he begins killing men with a sword, approval will be hard to come by. Yet he might just do it, perhaps not through war and valor, but if he succeeds enough, they will not be able to deny his worth.
"It must feel good," he says, watching the road slowly pass beneath them, "being free again."
She shrugs and then, realizing he isn't looking at her, speaks quietly.
"I have never been anything less. Freedom is a state of mind."
Prisoner though she was, Kataji never allowed that state to impinge on her sense of belief or alter her inner self. She embraces the physical world without reservation, her mind accepting it as a pond accepts a tossed stone. Surrounding it, subsuming it instead of letting it crush her. Or, at least, that was the ideal.
In truth, she wasn't that enlightened. Trying had to count for something, though, and hearing herself say the words strengthened her belief that they might one day be true. The stone of her captivity hadn't crushed her but it did leave a bruise when it hit her.
The trio heads off, though the Chinese companion of the three rests in the back of the cart still recovering from injuries suffered apparently. The cart travels down side streets and main streets, and alley ways for what seems like hours, peasants, workers and soldiers all intermingle in the city to form what seems like one large working hive of people who are relatively well off.
After a few hours, the group comes to the outskirts of the city, here the buildings spread out into large farms and although the wilderness can be seen it would still be sometime before the cart would reach it. As the hours pass the journey begins to take its toll on the trio, the bordem begins to mount and soon all three beg for nightfall to come in order for them to make camp, eat and sleep for the night. Slowly the sun falls, and darkness consumes the land - although in the distance behind them the city they once left, so incredably large that one could not take it all in with one viewing, is lit up in places by braziers and laterns. Even at night, the city doesn't sleep.
Sucking up Air since 1984.
"I have never been anything less. Freedom is a state of mind."
Koden chuckles and nods his head, accepting the proverb for what it is. He gently chastizes himself for not thinking of it himself. Although it would be foolish to think that they were free even now. Koden's options, between going home to a family that does not welcome him or be partnered with a spy and a once-supposed assassin, hadn't been ideal. He imagines Kataji faced a similar situation. Freedom might indeed be a state of mind, but reality, or at least their reality, thinks otherwise.
He spends the rest of the afternoon in intermitent silence, speaking only occasionally and remaining a bit subdued. It had seemed like an adventure, another way to achieve fame and honor. And yet, as he watches the city's lights he can't help but feel as if he's running away. Choosing a simple dinner of fruit, cheese, and bread, Koden eats in silence.
"If there's no objections, I'll turn in now and take the last watch."
The night passes quickly, the sense of security still well endowed in the two Japanese companions who find it easier to sleep in the city outskirts after being watched after by many guards in the secure confines of a fortress for the last few days. The cool sea air makes its way inland and wakes the sleeping pair during the morning, Koden having been awake for a few hours had witnessed a most spectatular sun rise.
This day would be the first real journey for the trio as they would easily make it outside of the city and into the real wilderness beyond.
Sucking up Air since 1984.
He takes in the warmth of the new day and closes his eyes, letting the sun wash over his skin. It's still early but the faint heat is appreciated. While his companions rest he takes the opportunity to clear his mind and find his internal flame. The rest of the world fades away, the wood thrush songs, the gentle ripple of wind, all it vanishes except for the light sensation of warmth on his face. Koden falls deep within himself. Blanking his consciousness he simply exists for a time. Yet the void eventually passes, as it always does and the inner flame fades until he can only barely feel it. Opening his eyes once more he sees Kataji stirring. She opens her eyes and he nods in greeting and smiles.
"I've seen hundreds, probably thousands, of sunrises but they never get old."
Getting to his feet Koden begins to prepare a simple breakfast before they set off for the next leg of their journey.
Kataji lingers on guard duty a bit longer than the others, waking up before it is her turn and rousing Koden a bit late. It isn't enough that they would necessarily notice, but combined she probably pulls about an hour extra of guard duty. After Koden wakes, she does not immediately go off to bed. Instead, she finds a suitable spot and practices the various martial art forms she studies, designed to continue building her strength, flexibility and coordination.
Her rest is short: she wakes well before the sun but spends the interim pretending to be asleep, practicing the art of using her mind to influence her body. The chill of the ground has soaked into her body, stiffening her muscles. Relaxing her mind, she drives it away by concentrating on the flow of blood from her heart to her extremities. Later, the sunlight touches her face and she opens her eyes to find Koden looking tranquil and well rested.
"I've seen hundreds, probably thousands, of sunrises but they never get old."
She smiles back briefly, liking Koden more the longer they travel together, but still feeling the shame of her deception. When he turns to begin fixing breakfast her smile disappears. Rising, she joins him by the fire and fairly well takes over the culinary preparations without being pushy.
"Have you done much travelling? Of course, you have come a long way to be here but have you travelled on your own like this?"
The morning quickly fades into full daylight and the troupe continue along their way following the main road to avoid getting lost. A few hours pass and quickly conversation becomes nothing more then short comments or questions with single sentence answers.
Just as the group have finally relaxed after all the events that have preceeded them they sight black smoke on the horizon. Ushering the horse and cart forward at a faster pace the trio come across the burning and smoldering remains of a caravan on the left side of the road, the debree of its cargo laying around in the near by grass and on the road. A few men equiped with weapons and light armour lay around the wreckage - all dead.
Some have been slashed by what appears to be curved swords, others have crushed arms and legs as though by an immense weight. Behind the wreckage the natural wilderness looks shattered, as though a stampeed of animals had past. In the mud of a near by stream several sets of footprints can be seen. Several human sized prints and one set of larger monsterous prints lead into the disturbed underbrush.
Just as the group slow, a scream of agony can be heard coming from the bush and a group of birds take flight less then 300 feet into the wilderness.
Sucking up Air since 1984.
Maeko jumps down from the cart, catching her balance at the last moment as a pebble rolls under her feet.
" Somebody is still alive! Come on, maybe we can find the bandits who did this"
She doesn't stop to think, the mental scars of her family demise are still to fresh for her, with barely a look at her companions Xiao Hu grabs her weapons and hurries towards the place where the scream came from.
Portrait Adoption
Kataji pushes the horse as fast as she dares along the road, making it a rather bumpy ride as the wreckage heaves into view. Xiao is off and running before Kataji can wrestle the wagon to a halt, their horse resisting the idea mightily. Apparently, he wasn't all that fond of smashed wagons and dead people. With a final jerk of the reins, she barks a short order to him to stay, and then she is off after Xiao.
She moves with a simple economy of speed and balance, seeming to breeze over obstacles as if they weren't there. Leaning into her stride, she nevertheless keeps a wary eye out for attackers, using her hearing to track Xiao's location.

Coach T. McFerrin told his Jefferson High School football team and assistant coaches Thursday morning that he was retiring.
"This is it," he said. "I think the time was right."
He called the emotional meeting with players held at the school as being "tough," but added that he was hopeful for a "smooth (coaching) transition."
His announcement comes within a week of his being named Class AA coach of the year after the Dragons shocked the state with its blowout of Calhoun for the state championship on Dec. 15.
Principal Kevin Smith and superintendent John Jackson have been aware of McFerrin's decision for some time, McFerrin said. The coach wanted to wait until the season ended before telling his players.
"I'm glad it ended the way it did," McFerrin said.
He ends his 38-year coaching career with a record of 340 wins, 102 losses and four ties. At JHS, where he has coached four seasons, he earned a 39-9 record with two region championships, three state playoff berths and one state championship.
His overall win record is fourth best in the state.

Like the Academy Award-winning "Amour," "Still Mine" is a love story in which the protagonists are, refreshingly, not hard-bodied Hollywood hotties. The surprisingly moving but clear-eyed Canadian film about a couple in their 80s even shows us, if only briefly, the wrinkled naked flesh of its stars, James Cromwell and Genevieve Bujold, playing a long-married couple who are still physically intimate. It's nice to be reminded of what old people look like, since they are, at least in movies these days, ever more invisible.
Based on a true story, the film by writer-director Michael McGowan ("Saint Ralph") is structured around the efforts of Craig Morrison (Cromwell) to build a more manageable house for his increasingly forgetful wife, Irene (Bujold), after she falls and breaks her hip. Craig, a laconic, can-do farmer in rural New Brunswick, runs afoul of the local bureaucracy when he tries to build the home himself, without plans and with unapproved lumber he has milled.
On one level, it's a David-and-Goliath tale of conflict. On one side is a stubbornly old-fashioned man; on the other is the modern system, represented by an equally stubborn building inspector (Jonathan Potts), who keeps trying to shut down Craig's little project for code violations, each of which Craig tries to address with the help of his lawyer (Campbell Scott) and his engineer grandson (Zachary Bennett). Eventually, the legal and technical obstacles start seeming more personal than professional.
At this point, Craig rises up in anger as the hero we've been waiting for him to become to fight the system. It's a familiar role.
But that story, however satisfying, is actually the less compelling of parallel narratives. Interwoven with McGowan's plot about the little guy vs. big government is an even more engaging and nuanced tale of romance. It contributes to an unflashy, quietly stirring dramatic experience.
As Craig and Irene, Cromwell and Bujold deliver a pair of superb performances, despite the fact that the actors may, in point of fact, be a little young to be playing octogenarians. Cromwell, 73, makes for an improbably spry 87. Bujold, who is 71, also doesn't seem quite ready to play a character as frail as Irene, whose age is never mentioned. Still, they turn in remarkably detailed portrayals. The bond between Craig and Irene is beautifully illuminated by McGowan's script and by acting that feels rich and real.
Craig's anger at Irene's incipient dementia eventually becomes indulgence; Irene's dismay about losing her independence first turns into denial, then fear. Together, these evolving emotional arcs will be painfully recognizable to anyone who has witnessed the advance of geriatric dementia.
"Still Mine" involves two stories about building: One concerns a house, the other a relationship. Thematically, each serves the other well.
As the carpenter, Craig is continually called upon to argue, first to the inspector and later in front of a courtroom, that the old-growth wood he has harvested is strong, solid and true. As the husband, he's never asked to make the same case about his marriage, which also is built to last. But the tenderness and love of his actions, which make visible the strength of his commitment to Irene, argue that case louder than any words ever could.
