Build a Craftsman Side Table
Tools and Materials
My Uncle Bob was one of those classic uncles that would pull nickels out of your ear and tickle you until milk came out your nose. He worked most of his life as a butcher—and I suspect his daily use of a band saw for cutting pork chops naturally inclined him to use the same tool for crafting furniture. This piece was inspired by a table Uncle Bob made 30 years ago; one that still serves as a side table next to my reading chair in the den.
Looking for More Ridiculously Simple Furniture Projects?
Ridiculously SImple Furniture Projects contains 38 great looking furniture projects anyone can build. Features indoor and outdoor projects plus tons of tips, techniques, friendly instructions and color photos to guide you through each project. Spike Carlsen's previous book A Splintered History of Wood, was selected as an NPR Best Book of the Year. For more information visit www.ridiculouslysimplefurniture.com
BUY IT on amazon.com
How to Make
You don't need a band saw to create this table. The round top and round lower shelf are precut discs purchased at a home center. Glue and screw the leg braces to the large top disc so the 5-degree cuts on the ends are angling outward. Cut 3/4" x 2-1/2" notches in the lower disc spaced equally around the perimeter. Cut the legs to length, with 5-degree angles on each end, and create the decorative cutouts as shown in the photo below. Use a backer board so the bit doesn't splinter the wood as it emerges through the backside of the board. You can cut the slot "freehand" or use a straight-cutting jig to help guide your jigsaw. The trim head screws used to secure the discs to the legs are simply drywall screws with a thinner shank and smaller head. Predrill the holes to minimize the chance of splitting the wood. inconvenient
1) Glue and nail braces in an "X" shape on the bottom of the tabletop. Note the ends of the braces are angled outward at 5-degrees.
2) Divide the smaller disc into 4 equal pie slices, then measure and mark out the notches for the 1x3 legs. Cut the notches with a jigsaw.
3) Drill holes in the legs to create the ends of the decorative cutouts. Cut out the slot with a jigsaw guided by a "straight cutting jig."
4) Secure the tops of the legs to the large disc using glue and trim head drywall screws. Prop the bottom disc on scrap 2x4s and position the legs in the slots. Make sure the upper and lower disc align and that the table isn't leaning to one side, then glue and screw the legs to the bottom disc.

Where can I get the precut discs?
Spike, I have been all over metro Denver and I cannot find these 15-inch and 18-inch precut discs. Home Depot does not have them. Loews has only 18-inch and 16-inch plywood discs. The largest that Hobby Lobby carries is 12 inches in plywood. Michaels Crafts does not carry them. The retail lumber outfits do not carry them. I am hoping that you can tell me exactly who does carry solid pine discs in the appropriate dimensions. Exactly what is their address? What is their email address? How much do the discs cost?
Posted: 4:19 pm December 8, 2012
Posted: 6:23 pm January 5, 2013
Question on dimensions
Hello Spike, I read through the article and looked at the drawing for the side table, and did not find certain dimensions that would be helpful to me in building this table.
On the leg decoration, what is the diameter of the 8 holes, or if you will, what size of spade bit did you use to drill them out?
Also on the leg decoration, what is the width of the slot that runs between the holes (not the slot length)?
And while I'm asking, would you please share what type of finish you applied, and how you applied the finish?
Thanks greatly,

shoe love….
this was a dream come true for me…photographing the wedding of a lovely couple….cherise & aaron…and the icing on the cake is that chersie is one of the founders of an amazing luxury shoe company called OMELLE (pronounced "ahm' elle")…all the shoes in the collection are crafted in italy…the shoes are unique & stylish…with architectural details….i am coveting the pair below….
most of you already know, that i get a little weak in the knees around a beautiful pair of shoes….i was beside myself at this lovely wedding…i should mention, it was planned by the amazing LISA VORCE….she perfectly captured the essence of this sweet couple….classic timeless touches mixed with modern charm….a perfect compliment to the fabulous shoes that seemed to be everywhere….
because pretty much every female guest was rocking a pair of OMELLE shoes
of course, the most important element of the day was the absolutely palpable affection these two love birds had for each other…they were so tender & kind with each other….simply wonderful….xoxoxo
kiss & tell (she said)….
"When the doors to the church opened on our wedding day, all I could see was Aaron waiting to take my hand at the end of the aisle, ready to embark on our journey together as husband and wife. Our five year relationship was a series of hellos and goodbyes, as I lived in New Orleans for two years and Los Angeles for three years of our courtship and Aaron lived in Las Vegas. Most of the kisses we shared have been at an airport or through the travels we experienced together around the world. However, the most memorable kiss we have ever shared was after we were pronounced husband and wife, knowing we would never have to say goodbye and our kiss was symbolic of a new life as one. I would forever be with the love of my life, my biggest supporter and my best friend for an eternity."
Cherise Angelle Hurlburt
kiss & tell (he said)….
"Our courtship lasted five years and earned us approximately fifty thousand frequent flier miles. Cherise was based in New Orleans for the first two years of our relationship and Los Angeles for the remaining thirty-six months. As much as I wanted to be elsewhere, I was in Las Vegas. If you had asked previous to our wedding day, "what was your most memorable kiss?" , we would have had great difficulty naming a specific place or date. Our minds flashback to the many undistinguishable airport terminals because it forever seemed we were constantly coming or going from one another. As cliche as it may sound, we both agree that there was only one kiss, the kiss that ended the distance and our elite frequent flier programs, the kiss we shared at our wedding. I was standing on the alter with my best man when the doors at the front of the church swung open and I saw a silhouette encompassed by a brilliant white light. It was the last time Cherise would ever have to come to me. I cannot but help to think of the metaphor of the church being like a terminal. However, in this instance, when we kissed, a kiss we had practiced on many prior occasions, we were departing not on planes, but from our individual persons. We were one. Never again would we be saying good-bye."
Aaron Hurlburt
have a beautiful shoe day….xoxo
a little more sweetness...

((As always, another incredible set!))
Yesterday I was informed that my best friend of 10 years passed away in her sleep. She was only 28. Why am I sharing this as a blog post some of you may be wondering, I just feel like I needed to share it with the world. It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day act of life, especially during the holidays. Everyone please just take the the time to stop and appreciate those around you during this busy holiday season. Treasure every minute you have with those around and don't go to sleep with harsh feelings. Being a photographer brings me so much joy, because not only do I have fond memories roaming through my head I also have so many photos to help me relive every story and every memory the two of us shared together. My heart is heavy today but I wish you all the warmest and happiest holidays!
Dec 16-2009 , 11:20AM
Their story is magical and full of love! And yes, I can see why you covet her shoes. Wonderfully creative design - and especially girly (which I love!).

Light splashes in the eyes and vibrate
My heart to a rich ecstatic state
Joy is the only bird in the leaden sky
Calling the winds to choir on high
And I in the crystal world spin and spin
Till shards of snow caress the face
Like a pillow from scraps of watery tin
And all green and all colors erased.
Cast back the old belief of isolation
Of wintry purgatory and grief, jubilation
Is a white sheet of innocence here
The sinner like a diamond in the air
Frost symbol of death, and Lewis hopelessness
Shall not sing my song without regret
I take a different motif for my symbolic crest
The beginning of the pain I now forget.
Let Persephone sleep, my Yalda is here
The white breast of her flesh my pear
And I a child in a new womb of innocence
Drink of pure light and devote my sense
To leaps of faith from promise to spring
The eternal moment when season shall keep
Ivory joys before the bright immortal king
Just like a seed of winter vacating sleep.

Peering through plate glass at a puzzling view,
In the midst of hot coffee's morning ritual brew.
Staring out with amazement and wonderfully struck,
By our Cherry Tree's overnight sensation run amuck!
By nature's own standard, cruel joke she has played,
Million blossoms wide open one February day.
This juvenile sapling knows not what it feels,
Sprouting vivid Pink colors, the show it now steals.
From those all around laying dormant in state,
Expecting nature's cue to blossom their own petals awake.
And by then poor young cherry will have muted her splash,
Replaced by green leaves summer storms will soon thrash.
But alas all this splendor making warm visual sense,
In the short time required for fresh java to dispense.
Tomorrow I'll once again observe through plate glass,
The wonders waiting just beyond cold winter's Rye Grass.

As winter's gloom descends upon the trees
Autumn slumbers 'neath the fallen leaves
Spring's distant dream is yet to be perceived
As trees weep in the cold silence of their grief
Autumn slumbers 'neath the fallen leaves
As a lone bird sings a melancholy song
The trees weep in the cold silence of their grief
To a songbird's ode to autumns gone
As a lone bird sings a melancholy song
A sad song within my heart is born
As I hear the songbird's ode to autumns gone
That echoes in the twilight until morn
A sad song within my heart is born
As winter's frost through the forest spawns
The songbird's ode to autumn echoes until morn
Before it takes its envied flight to warmer dawns
As winter's frost through the forest spawns
Spring's distant dream is yet to be perceived
Then the songbird takes its envied flight to warmer dawns
As winter's gloom descends upon the trees

Crisp…Crisp the night!
'Pon cheeks as white as snow
Crazy quilt of rimed patterns
Limned upon the window
Soft…soft the lacy flakes!
Each one unique and new
Blanket o'er land and lakes
Winter's take on dew
Games…games of Fox and Hound!
Pristine drifts of frosting
Turned into frigid battlegrounds with
Brief truces for time defrosting
Steam…cottony steam!
Wool mittens too near the flame
Cold stiff fingers, white as cream
Toes frozen from the game
Quiet…Winter quiet! (shhhh)
Sounds muffled by the fluff
Of snow so deep not e'en a peep
Can struggle up through the stuff
Smoke…writhing smoke!
Reaching for the sky
Chimneys breathing, tendrils weaving
Rising with a sigh
Winter…cold, cold hard winter!
Makes Summer wishes come to light
Til icicles fall, shatter and splinter
…Tis crisp…crisp the night!!!…

As days get shorter and night stretches out.
Summer fades away and earth gets colder.
Soon, Oh too soon snow will again rule and
the earth will slumber under its folds.
Until then we enjoy the fruits of bounty
smelling the last of sweet summer flowers.
Crops stand ready in the fields for collection
Combined harvesters busily at work.
Fat stalks of golden corn, rye and barley
tied in bundles ready for threshing.
Seductive scents of apples waft
as down they are laid for storing.
Frosts now lay the land bare
as the leaves part company
some red, some yellow, others orange
they blow and scatter in the wind.
Trees looking stark and bleak gaze
o'er the stripped fields with snow sprinkling
the now barren ground and soon Winter
will once more rule in her glory
Gone now the lazy days of Summer
her flowers and perfumes distant memories.
Now the hues of colour are subdued.
And all around the land sleeps on.

The threat is a thaw,
Winter's gone, new global warming's here,
Gone away, winter fun days,
Here to stay winter sun days,
An icy cold blast?
A thing o' the past;
Global warming's here and winter's gone.
In the meadow wildflowers keep on growin',
Any given season anywhere,
Dank, polluted rivers go on flowin',
And black smoke blowin' up into the air.
Dreamin' of a white Christmas?
Not a hope! It has missed us,
No flakes in the wind,
No lakes with ice in,
Winter went and global warming's here.
January, we will walk in sunshine,
Cuddle underneath a willow tree,
Indulging in a chilled and genial white wine,
A chardonnay could do the trick for me!
Nowadays, hell it's no fun,
Havin' all wall-to-wall sun,
Hey nonny-no, who plundered the snow?
Global warming hit and winter went.
Global warming hit and winter went.
Global warming hit and winter went.

'Bastille' winter-lodes wait anticipating the reserved and affected invasions of the sun's setting rays, to lay its' mark upon her surrounding ice-capped winter hood---
Fortifying 'arms' now stand saluting at attention to the expected deluges to carnival delights from the setting sun….
Applause from 'knightly' lances carry a shadow-display, when brought to arms;
'toe-elbowing' their stances to a light bright multiplexed review….
Eventide's soon to reach cosmic nighttime ceilings and is brought momentarily to stands aside, to hushed warnings off snow iced platforms gaining cheery fire-light at each kissed by-pass retreat….
At devotion 'arms' stretch their winter façades 'drawing' close their 'painted' 'four o'clock' shadows; that mark out each stance---
Alas, the playhouse 'adieus' end with sad commendations; when staged dimmed lights snuff and flicker out to blackness.
Nighttime slants and an interval is at hand, for waning sun's rays, to dismiss their stationed sentinels over to moonlit beamed doom---
Night plagues with harmonizing rhythms; as ice-tinkling 'icicles' from branches high salute the night time, sky-faerie's lite and dance upon a new stage!

Winter Begone: Ode to the Squirrely
I found myself outside braveing Winter's bleak
Snow lay deep upon the ground--long past a week--
As more flakes christened life on this frozen creek
I saw him standing quite still, puzzled and meek
He wore a nice fur coat with snow on his crown
A powder of new flakes not yet on the ground
With a shake of his coat--one last look around
Up a tree he climbed and then looked back down
There high and aloft with no ifs ands or buts
I heard him quite clearly yell back, '"Winter Sucks!"'
But what he said next pulled my drolls from their ruts:
'"It's gonna take 'till July to thaw out my nuts!"'

Who could believe what we have seen
It is a sun in winter what a rare thing
In the open we run to with our camp bed
You have relieved us for we were cold dead
How glorious and beautifully this day you rule
For you have finally set in Olympus
How often shall we see you O! Fairy ring
Before your full show at summer and spring

Dee's father bought a fancy, family sled
to her amusement and joy
He shocked the town pulling this sled around
With his good, shiny Model T Ford
Memories run through Dee's mind
At the family hardware store,
she would climb the latter up to the loft
and sit inside the sled stored there,
reflecting on cool-warmed times-
a father's smile…a heart sublime

From an inception lofty,
high and above,
We were sent all,
not a single one excepted,
We were never on earth,
we knew then how to love,
Harmony and serenity,
where are you?
When to sow?
Harmony and serenity,
where are you?
Where to sow?
Down is the show,
the law,
the structure
and road.
Down is the coward,
the knave,
the brigand,
and the bad.
Down to earth,
all of them
and no less;
The way is descending,
Where then to go?
We want ours to be ascending,
ascending as a lark's.
Harmony and serenity,
where are you?
Where are you?
Our eyes are searching for you,
filled with tears;
Our hearts are devoid of warmth,
fraught with layers.
where are they?
making prayers;
But when winter comes,
when winter comes,
no fears.
Harmony and serenity,
where are you?
Where are you?
Harmony and serenity,
we are reaping the harvest;
Is it ripe?
Is it fine?
This harvest?
From now on,
nothing would ever be the same.
From now on,
everything is truthful.
Not a body of lies.
Harmony and serenity,
where are you?
Where are you?
"And if the past is passed,
why moralize upon it?"
No one returned,
no one ascended.
Where is Jesus?
The Giants are gone.
But justice,
has it been done?
No need to weep.
No need to sigh deep.
Bright is the sun?
Harmony and serenity,
where are you?
Where are you?
From now on,
nothing would ever be the same.
Nowhere are you to be found
Harmony and serenity.
Unless you are not within,
you are then pity?
Being your slave,
no other way but to pray and rise.

Sunlight at an angle dancing through colored leaves
Cool nights to snuggle beneath the sheets; warm days of ease
Last of gardens harvest; goodbye to summer's bees
Joyful time to harvest soon days a breeze
Pumpkins, winter squash, turnips, and peas
Food in bounty stored away for many days
Christmas will be upon us in just a very few days
The yard will be raked again and again to rid of leaves
Garden vegetables will be stored also cooking of peas
For right after Christmas comes New Years Day with ease
The howling winds will blow and it won't be just a breeze
But now all the bugs have disappeared_gone are the bees
We will not have to worry with yellow jackets or bees
As the night grow longer and shorter the winter days
March soon will come in bringing its strong breeze
Those indominable buds show forth on the trees soon leaves
We will float into warm days and beauty of spring with ease
Now we will have eaten most of those delicious peas
Soon in the newly planted garden_those early June Peas
Newly hatched from their hiding places comes those bees
Just lying around in the hammock with all this ease
These wonderful times_joy of longer days
Joy, oh! joy and joy again with spring's green leaves
Soft and gentle comes a blowing spring's warm breeze
But there is one less chore now for there is no raking leaves
Afternoon in the lazy hammock oh what ease
Glad that in the garden and Pampas Grass stay those bees
These times in life are just fun and a zephyr breeze
Summer comes with the picking, shelling, and freezing peas
These times are wonderful long sunny days
But soon slowly fade, then the change in those leaves
Summer still has a lazy few days with comfy ease
Even if the pollen draws those hungry stinging bees
From the west and north come a much drier breeze
How thankful that we have those great peas
Soon fade those longer sunlit sunny days
No raking leaves in winter, only by firelight with ease and read
All those pesky bees gone now, on the currents winter's breeze brings flurries
Now dine on peas put away to eat on cold fruitless days of old man winter

An Ode to Nelly Bligh
The leaves are falling all around,
They softly float to the ground.
This is a real strange affair,
Now that fall and winter are in the air.
Gone are the flowers seen in the spring,
They were tied to the stem like an apron string.
The cold fall weather caused the flowers to fade,
Unknown to the flowers they were unwittingly betrayed.
The forest floor is filled with colorful leaves,
They have fallen from the winter dead trees.
Also dead and barren is the moon shinning bright,
It is emitting a beautiful harvest light.
The moonlit scene begins to take on the falling snow,
The beauty of the evening really begins to grow.
A lamp is burning in the cabin nearby,
The shadow on the window is that of Nelly Bligh.
Snow is falling on the cabin, from above,
Nelly Bligh has just lost her most precious love.
A huge collision happen at sea today,
The murky waters of the Atlantic have taken her man away.
The Titanic has claimed Nelly Bligh's fate,
She knows that she has lost her beloved mate.
She walks out to the edge of the cliff by the sea,
Nelly Bligh dove in, there she will forever be.

Sheets of nimbus cumulus, a damaging blue gathering colour mix
A grey filler sky as no birds seem to waver within a angered skyline
Beyond ahead, is spects of glass, artistic flakes choosing its place to stay?
Whitest shine of frozen water float in a reserve flight of upwards
Swifting in a promising dance to make it to the gracious dance below.
Dancing in the air circulating, making the coldest love happen.
These sudden blankets is now pelted, smashing agravating until scarf white.
No sight to see! No sight to be with frozen nimbs to climb through the flakes.
Walk through the ocean of white which is making compound on the ground happen,
togetherness family no colour, Little children delightly tongueing and stealing a little
The no taste of a source of water ala natural, smiles and activities ensue,
Sled down with dampery of heavy clothes, the ski, the snowmobile hummer, the extreme of board.
Newest winter does Old mother mature gift us, its sweet sorrow cold,
Its pantomime of beauty to lands so smileing for a cold sleep.

forest leaves,
smite this pain,
as Helios breathes warmly on my neck,
the moist caress of the climaxing summer warmth,
sends me into soft ecstasy,
but as shadows play
and waltz across the land,
a winter chill intrudes,
a sullen dark blue shade
stretches autumnal across my hands
and the ether alike,
and that same blue,
like an infection spreading,
creeps into my mind,
into the very recesses of my mind,
and summers warmth absconds,
leaving me huddled in on my self,
facing the cold,
clinging to days gone by for warmth,
but whose embers once fresh and vibrant,
have long died down to shallow wisps,
leaving me no reprieve from the cold,
from this winter that will surely long endure
and welcome,
long outstay.

Shamefully dull, life would be,
Without seasons to nourish me.
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall,
Nature's blessings the nourish us all
Apathetic and harsh, winter is,
With arctic gales that pierce
Every linen shielding my frame.
Anomalous flakes of snow drift from the sky
As sheets of white accumulate on the ground
And weigh down the healthiest trees,
Teasing those ready for winter festivities.
Once the snow angels and snowmen are made, and
Once the sledding and snowball fights are done,
Into their warm homes, all will run,
Hiding under hoards of fleece
Until it's time for spring to come free.
Pleasant and lively, spring is,
With liber rains falling lavishly
On soil beds of assorted seeds,
Nursed diligently by the avid gardeners
Who thirst for the sight of the first blossoms
Of poppies, roses, lilies, and tulips.
Blueberries, cherries, and strawberries
Entice the onlookers waiting to pick
The ripest harvest in a timely manner
And savoring them until summer can flare.
Fierce and fervent, summer is
With a feverish breath, that makes rain a treasure.
People gather in masses to absorb the bodies of water
As a radiant sun desiccates the land.
Outdoors, pitchers of lemonade are carried everywhere
And thriving honeysuckle sweeten the air.
Yellow lights of fireflies flicker through the night
As exhausted bodies relax beneath the stars,
Gazing in admiration, until autumn can appear
Calm and homely, autumn is
Wither green, red, and yellow foliage taking over.
Crisp leaves bustle about the ground,
Trapped by flurries of whirring winds
Until they are raked into heaps for children to dive in
And pumpkins growing in preparation to carved or baked.
Families huddle together around brilliant fires
While couples stroll through parks, taking delight in the landscape,
And having picnics until winter's brisk rise.

Watching the white flakes blow by as I gingerly step out to the glorious city.
Each time I take a step and hear a crunch, a new thought appears.
The trees sparkle with newborn lights.
The park is filled with parents and children gazing up at the sky.
I see a new spirit in all.
Decorations are in the windows of every shop.
This is New York, after all.
The crowds move from the subway, and I hop in the car.
I hold the pole, brushing off excess snow.
"5th Avenue 73rd Street!" I hear, and jump off just in time.
The gates close after me, as I put on my scarf.
I step onto the slippery stairs, and find myself in the city again.
The world watches as I enter a store.
I buy a beautiful coat for my mother and a perfume for myself.
A sale was happening, and I got half off the perfume.
I exit, now looking like a proper tourist with a paper bag.
The breeze flies by, thrusting white flakes at me.
A beautiful day for shopping.
How I wish that my friends had come.
O glorious days of winter!

For only there is one life's joy
As the man, woman, girl and boy
Waiting for winter's end and summer's ploy.
The birds are singing
On wet branches swinging
Relishing winter's end with elated singing.
From sky down to earth
Life holding to its mirth
Holding on to winters birth.
Down through our hearts
Winter's end charts
Bringing sorrow in parts.
For life itself must stay
Winter end's comes and go away
Children waiting for snow to play.
We must surely abide
As summer starts all is dried
While Autumn becomes winter's bride.
When ugliness comes to surface
The cold weather of winter is a great service
For warmth in the hearts resurface.
Love reaching us rapidly
Curing our feelings from malady
Enjoying winter's cosiness madly.

Last winter was a long one
Before starting to get better
Seemed like we would never shed
Our heavy coats and sweater
But at last, spring did arrive
But the cold winds did not go
Instead of getting warmer
We just got more snow
We suffered through a chilly spring
Waiting for the trees to bud
And finally the snow was gone
But in its place was mud
Now at last, it seems to me
That winter has moved on
Now I can enjoy myself
After I mow the lawn

fire flickered,
shadows danced,
I remain still
cries echo,
sounds of laughter fill the hall,
I remain silent
groups congregate,
lives intertwine,
I remain alone
let me in, I knock on the door,
see eyes roll
and uncomfortable muttering,
I remain alone
beautiful girl hugs me,
drunk boy engages me in conversation,
so why am I alone
embarrassed and unwanted
the dagger of loneliness pressing deep into my chest
an outsider forever looking in,
despite his best efforts remains outside,
a cold winter chill cloaking the sad figure,
just standing outside the window pain,
looking in to that warm house filled with laughter and love
rarely am I invited inside and when I am my legs wont move,
I don't belong with these people,
they are not my kin not of my tribe
I am without tribe,
forever the outsider
and forever alone

NEW DELHI: The opposition today lashed out at the Centre for failing to giving any specific time-frame to solve the UPSC row, saying it should show some "sensitivity" towards the candidates appearing for civil services exams.
"This is a very sensitive issue and the government should have shown some sensitivity in dealing with it. It has not given any time frame on when will it solve the issue, there is no assurance. The government has failed to handle this," former Union minister and Rajya Sabha MP (Congress) Ashwani Kumar told reporters outside Parliament.

Disney Channel adds Disney Replay block to TV schedule
Following in the footsteps of TeenNick's 90's are All That, Disney Channel is coming out with a classic show block! The thing is, is this temporary or here to stay?
Disney Channel is pulling a surprising, and sudden, schedule change to Wednesday nights starting this week. For the next three weeks, Disney has scheduled three different classic original series to air at midnight (ET/PT).
This Wednesday night (April 17), a single episode of Even Stevens will air: "Influenza: The Musical". Next Wednesday (April 24) at midnight is two back-to-back episodes of Lizzie McGuire: "Between a Rock and a Bra Place" and "Gordo's Bar Mitzvah". The following Wednesday (May 1) at midnight is two back-to-back showings of Kim Possible: "Emotion Sickness" and "Bonding".
This will be the first time a regular Even Stevens episode (minus the DCOM) has aired on Disney Channel since 2007. Lizzie McGuire was last seen on April 7, 2010 (minus a few airings of the movie that summer). Regular Kim Possible episodes have been off U.S. airwaves since Disney Channel did the "classic purge" on June 30, 2010 (where almost all non-current series were dropped from their late-night line-up).
Very exciting! FINALLY it seems as if Disney may be realizing that although this new generation watches those shows they are trying to pass off now, the gold mine is getting older viewers to return and watch what they love.
However, its no telling how long this will last, and those three episodes may be the only that ever air from this block. Firstly, Nick & More said this may be because of DC's 30th anniversary. However Entertainment Weekly ran a story talking about the new block and its name and added suggestions for shows to be added.
I hope we find out soon what the deal is.

Quick comfort: Sausage with polenta and mozzarella.
Start the week with a flavour hit; a spicy stir-fry with plenty of nutty protein. On Tuesday night, turn pork sausages into meatballs and serve them up with creamy polenta. This Jill Dupleix recipe includes a vegetarian option too.
A simple mid-week curry is a great way to incorporate more fish into your diet.
On the weekend head to a farmer's market and stock up on wintery greens; silverbeeet and spinach. You'll need lots for Karen Martini's delightful dip; whip up a batch for a pre-dinner snack (it's great for work lunches in the week). The extra greenery will come in handy as you wind up your week with a healthy family-sized, vegetarian pie.

After a couple of weeks of taking it, I found that my hair is softer and my skin is clearer and smoother. I take Alive with iron since women need more of it, but my fiance takes Alive without iron, and we both love it. I recommend this product to everyone in need of a multivitamin!This review is specific to Alive! Multi-vitamin, Max Potency (with iron)
April 21, 2010Reviewer: Nancy in IllinoisI had been taking Member Mark (Sam's Club) multi vitamins - same formula Centrum for a couple of months. While I didn't have any adverse effects, I also didn't notice any benefits. After checking out the Netrition site, I came across these and ordered the ones with iron. The very first day I noticed I did not get that sleepy afternoon feeling. I was not tired in the evening either as I had been in the past. I am a 46 year old woman with 4 children and am constantly on the go. These have no stimulants in them, but I will not ever stop taking them. I feel great!
March 05, 2010Reviewer: John in FloridaHow can you go wrong with a whole food vitamin? It has everything in it, it's affordable, it's a "no-brainer".This review is specific to Alive! Multi-vitamin, Max Potency (no iron added)
February 16, 2009Reviewer: Eric in AlaskaAs a life long vitamin taker, I've switched multi-vitamins a few times. But, I've been taking ALIVE! for years now, and I really like it. I like the sources of the ingredients - all natural - and I appreciate the no iron added formula as I get plenty of iron elsewhere in my diet.
August 20, 2008Reviewer: Lauren in IllinoisI LOVE this vitamin! I cannot believe how much energy it gives me, and I can feel it after only 15 minutes. I can tell that I am more alert and it gives me extra energy to make it through my day. I've been taking it for a week now and plan to continue indefinitely.This review is specific to Alive! Multi-vitamin, Max Potency (no iron added)
February 17, 2008Reviewer: John in FloridaI've VERY happy with the solution. I've been using the multi in pill form for years. Choking down three large pills early in the morning is far more difficult than two tablespoons on an interesting tasting multi solution (I actually kind of like its weird citrus flavor). BTW, multi's suspended in solution absorb more efficiently.
I recommend both..but I'll be ordering ONLY the solution going forward.

New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is currently at the center of an investigation involving the murder of one of his "associates."
On Saturday, Massachusetts state police officers, accompanied by a K-9 unit, began searching Hernandez's home in North Attleboro, Ma.
The investigation is still ongoing, but the search did reveal one big tip: Aaron Hernandez owns a giant dog house.
Detectives now searching the doghouse out back of Hernandez house pic.twitter.com/OwAveOojLr— Kevin Armstrong (@KevinGArmstrong) June 22, 2013
MORE: Hernandez's house searched | Search warrants executed
His dog house has two floors? Is that even necessary?
Seriously, what type of dog does he own? Is it a horse masquerading as a dog?
The English Mastiff is widely considered to be the largest breed of dog in the world, growing as tall as 32 inches and weighing at least 150 lbs.
No word yet on what type of dog Hernandez owns, but even if it is a Mastiff, that dog is living the life. That is, until the dog has to refinance the mortgage.
I hope Aaron Hernandez's dog will be able to refinance the mortgage on his doghouse if Aaron goes to jail. Rates are really good right now.— Kevin Van Valkenburg (@KVanValkenburg) June 22, 2013

CAMERON - There's little disputing Mark Witzberger has turned his Cameron softball program into one of the school's signature sports teams during his first eight years at the helm.
Coming off a 22-7 season where the Dragons were dealt a setback by a streaking Wheeling Central team in the regional semifinal, Cameron lost a bunch, including record-setting four-year starting pitcher Tara Paczewski, a four-time West Virginia Class A all-stater and four-time first team All-Valley honoree.
That doesn't mean opponents are doing some sort of celebratory dance, though.
Witzberger still has some players, beginning with catcher Audrey Bryan, who was on her way to a season few in the small Marshall County school dared to dream before she became injured and watched the last half of the season from the bench.
She's a four-year starter who hit .357 with two home runs and 21 RBI in 42 at-bats prior to the injury. Coaches build teams around players who drive in a run every other time they step in the batter's box.
Bryan will be joined by sophomore pitcher Linda Hall, who was 7-1 in eight decisions (with an ERA of .079), and looks very much like the next ace in a long line of them at the school.
Other seniors are returning second basemen Ashley Berardi, Darby Brown, and Emily Johnson, who figure to see their names in the starting lineup at first base, or possibly, designated hitter. Johnson may play outfield as well. Janis Williamson, who is a catcher, is the final senior.
Berardi hit three home runs among 20 hits last season.
"We have five seniors, and I am expecting big contributions from all of them," Witzberger said.
The Dragons have three juniors in third baseman Natalie Trowbridge (13 RBI among 16 hits), left fielder Lexi Aston (11 RBI) and Taylor Wise, who spent spring practices battling for varsity playing time at first base and catcher.
Aside from Hall, who also acquitted herself quite well at the plate during her first year in high school ball (.346 average, 24 RBI), Caitlyn Berardi (Ashley's sister) assumed the spring lead at a shortstop position that was vacated by Cassidi Richmond, and right fielder Bailey Wood make up starters from the sophomore class. Caitlyn Berardi and Wood will be first-time starters.
Nine freshmen fill out the roster in Marissa Meintel, a potential starter in center field, pitcher Jenna Aston and infielders/outfielders Grace Fitzgerald and Hope Wise. Utility-type, first-year players to the program are Morgan Goode, catcher Meleigha Harmon, first baseman Samantha Phillips, and outfielders Tresa Roskelly and Taylor Winland.
"While this team may inexperienced, they are committed to developing their fundamentals, and are extremely coachable." Witzberger said. "As coaches we have pushed and challenged them every day in practice and they have responded favorably at every challenge and opportunity."
Witzberger, who owns a record of 140-79 at the school, is assisted by Lisa Leichliter and Roger Cain. Jonathan Matthews is a student manager.

The lineup for next month's 16th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival will not be revealed for another week but we now have our first indication of some of the films that will screened at the event. PiFan will be holding a retrospective of the respected Korean production company Myung Films. The sidebar will be titled "Asian Major Studio Special Program: The Sun and the Moon of Korean Films, Myung Films" and will feature a cross section of some of the company's major works.
Those works that will screen include: The Quiet Family (1998), Happy End (1999), The Isle (2000), Joint Security Area (2000), Waikiki Brothers (2001), A Good Lawyer's Wife (2003), Bloody Tie (2006) and Cyrano Agency (2010). Myung Films was founded in 1995 and has built a reputation as an enabler of some of the country's best behind-the-scenes talent as it has fostererd early films from Park Chan-wook, Kim Jee-woon and Im Sang-soo. In addition to the films, there will also be some special sessions with various Myung representatives as well as actors and directors from their past films.
Some great films worth seeing on the big screen and I look forward to the full lineup on June 26!

Last home game for FKCHS includes rose ceremony, two wins and a fire
FORT KENT - The soccer game started on a chilly night on Tuesday, October 18. This was the last home game for the seniors.
Rose ceremonies for both the boys and girls occurred before each game. During the ceremony, each of the senior athletes came onto the field to receive flowers. With the boys, the players would typically pass the flowers to their mothers.
With the girls game, a goal from Ashland made the score 0-1 until Roxanne Pelletier scored a point, earning Alexa Pelletier a sisterly hug. As the game went on, Fort Kent continued to dominate with one score from Chelsey Plourde and three from Michela Desjardins.
This brought the warriors up to 5-1 until Brooke Labelle of Ashland scored a goal, breaking a new record for the school.
The final score for the game was 5-3, a victory for the Warriors.
Robby Nadeau gave this end-of-season quote, saying, "We want to thank all the fans. Congratulations to the seniors, we've got a really great group. I'd never want to coach another group of kids."
The boy's game proved to be another victory for Fort Kent.
First-half goals included two by Antonio Naranja with assists by Abe Desjardins on both goals. Still in the first half, Abe Desjardins, with an assist from Brandon Hartt, slapped one into the net, and then Josh Caron with an assist by Brandon Hartt, scored another. The first half ended with a score from Jesse with an assist from Randy Hebert.
Half time proved to be interesting, when a small flame appeared on one of the stadium lights, causing a commotion in the crowd. The flame quickly extinguished itself.
Back to the game with more goals, Tito Naranja scored two goals and one from Phillip Ouellette.
The final score for the boys' game was 8-0.

Answered: Google+ and Facebook Sharing
Love the new Google+ sharing! Is there any way to use the title of the Fiddle for the title of the Google+ and Facebook sharing links? Currently, it simply inserts the generic title of the Fiddle site itself, whereas Twitter uses the title of the Fiddle.
Just a "nice to have". Thanks!
@existdissolve so as a thanks for the mention in your latest blog about Fiddle (thanks btw), I added some <meta> elements to the head for the Open Graph. Admittedly this is my first time using them but seems to be working. Since hash isn't sent to the server you have to send a URL parameter for the server to setup the meta nodes. The link from the share links have been updated but the URL should be like http://fiddle.sencha.com/?fiddle=abc#fiddle/abc where abc us the fiddle id. Will be working on it more but pasting a URL into Facebook manually seems that it's working perfectly.

Hey there – I'm back! I've been gone since December, and I've missed writing. It seems like a day didn't pass which I thought of something to write about, but just didn't have the time. But I do miss it here, so hoping to return to the land of my blog, my thoughts, now. Several things have gotten in the way of my blog, but I'm going to work through those barriers. I miss it here too much.
1. I'm getting old. I can't stay up all hours of the night like I used to. That's when I did my best blogging, but now I'm lucky if I make it until 11:00 with my eyes open. But I need to be sure to make time, to take time, because I do miss my blog friends and community.
2. House projects have slowed. I'm not doing a lot of creative work on the house right now. That gave a lot of fun content for the blog, but I'm really in fix-up mode to prepare to hopefully sell next year and move into something with more room, and DEFINITELY a screened-in porch to keep the mosquitoes away – and a huge backyard for Lucy and Walker to play. These projects aren't fun and most are ones I'm having to hire someone else to do – like replace the whole back door and paint all of the trim (I don't do trim).
3. Work. It is crazy ridiculous at work – but that's a good thing – but I don't have much time to think anymore – it's just go go go…and when I get home, I really am not in the mood to get back on the computer.
4. I'm reading books more. Well, reading, listening – same thing. I'm up to 9 books so far this year – and I've joined Audible and loving everything about that.
5. Netflix. OMG what did we do before Netflix? I've watch all of Breaking Bad, Mad Men, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and currently watching Dexter. I mean, it is so addictive, right? And you get immediate gratification with another episode right after you finish one! I've also watched and am caught up on Game of Thrones and my most favorite show was True Detective and I can't wait for the next season. I'm also thinking about watching Grey's Anatomy from the beginning (who else misses Denny?) and my sister loves The Walking Dead and I'm thinking about that one too.
6. Summertime – lots of beachtime this year – it's been great! Walker and I have been to the beach 5 times this summer and I also took a week trip to San Diego for work which was a blast! I can't believe it is almost August.
7. Basketball – finally over for the season, taking a bit of a break until the rec leagues start up in December, but still working on training on Sundays. Walker still loves it as much as ever and it's so much fun watching them play. We just got back from Myrtle Beach and the nationals tournament and they had a great time – there were some tough games, but great experience. !
Geez – I've been wondering what my distractions have been, but I guess I see it now!
Here are a couple of pics to show you what we've been up to. That's it for now…talk more soon, k?

first off id like to say, ever since I found this radio station ( via itunes) I've fallen in love with it. I have since told friends and families and random strangers about this awesome discovery. Seriously I love you guys.
Anyway.. I've been listing to the Jazz fest coverage and naturally have been loving it. However I heard one song that really got stuck in my head and I've been searching all over the internet to find it .. unfortunately to no avail. So I'm turning to you guys : WWOZ listerns of the world in hope that you mihgt help me.
I can only remeber parts of the song lyrics I think it goes something like this
"oop the morning" + "ooh na nay, swing that thing"
"swing for me on mardi gra day ooh na nay sing that thing"
Anyone ?!? Any ideas, I know its not much to go by but I have hope:P.
It's by Danny Barker and called "Tootie Ma Is A Big Fine Thing." You can find it on a Baby Dodds CD called Jazz A La Creole.
This Day in Louisiana Music History
There's also a version on the latest Preservation Hall Jazz Band CD with Tom Waits. It's been getting a lot of play since it was released earlier this year, so that may have been the version you heard.

My son, just turned 8 last week, told me he was going for a bike ride after dinner tonight. I replied, "Sure thing, we'll ride around the neighborhood for about 15 minutes or so?"
He responded, "No Dad, I'm riding with (the neighbor's 9 year old daughter), so STAY HOME!"
The boy must be gifted. Acting like a teenager at 8?

05/30/2010, Sandy Island, Carriacou...
We missed this little slip of sand last year on our way south. Sandy Island is surrounded by coral, years ago boasting of a pristine state, that's been damaged dramatically by tropical storms and hurricanes recently. It's another wee nursery for both fish and corals, each peeking tentatively out of their chosen nooks of deceased ancestors. It's very shallow, crystal clear and we're thrilled to have visited the pelicans and other seabirds taking a cautious break in their day just a short distance off our port beam.
We are within swimming distance, hmmmmmmmm, binocular distance from Hillsboro. Now to you it means nothing....to us it's goodbye Grenada. Really, Grenada has been very good to us and didn't want to release us from her hugs!
Some really great news on the Canon fiasco...the pix for this post and the photo galley are the proof that we actually did get the camera needed for a 'wet' journey like this! I'm so excited to be able to shoot underwater at last. Not having enough room for scuba equipment, means more weight on the snorkeling vantage point. We are about to enter the land of 'perfectly saturated canvases of baby reefs and fish", frivolously frolicing before the replacement Canon D-10, Power Shot and us who are desperately in need of a snorkeling adventure! A small offering from the reef gods, priming our desire for bigger and better "aquariums".
Tobago Cays, here we come!
Dudley and Bec
05/28/2010, Tyrell Bay, Carriacou!
Dudley has already has already reminded me of our agreement with a reality check..."If we are going to make it to Puerto Rico by the middle of July, we will not be able to stop every place we want, nor stay as long as we want!" I know this to be true, but it doesn't make this any easier to swallow or follow!
We jumped into action and started to remove the outboard from the dink and mount it on the stern as we have done 100's of times, but it's not going to happen today! The screws for the clamping system completely wallowed out the receiving end of the outboard! We have no way to hold the Yamaha, 8hp to the dink, nor to the board on the stern of Altair! My captain made an immediate decision to stay and search for a solution! Weld the old holes closed, too big anymore, useless in the state they're in right now, then tap and drill new holes! Easy right? NOT! He just doesn't have a 1/2" tap on board, go figure. Neither does anyone else for that matter.
We're staying til Monday because checking in or out on a Sunday is overtime in the land of custom's and immigration offices in most countries we've visited so far!
I'm thrilled to be able to explore more, but my guy will be searching all over the island for some help. He asked Chris and Charles, friends anchored here in Tyrell Bay too and it's unanimous..."sounds like a good idea 'til you try to execute it on a small island"!
Stay tuned, Dudley and Bec
05/25/2010, Leaving Grenada for Carriacou!
We took off for our first big sail since July of 2009. We anticipated a 6 hour sail...but we know better!
We had a spectacular sail up the lee coast of Grenada with winds off our beam and speeds of 6-7 knots all the way to the "Kick'em Jenny, Underwater Volcano Exclusion zone. That's when we decided to continue sailing up past Tyrell Bay for a shot a single tack! NOT!
It took us 9 hours, the last 4 hours bashing into the wind and seas with only the main up to steady the boat, sort of!
We were soaked, tired and loved it! What a treat to have the wind, the speed of sail and dusting off the cobwebs!
When we arrived in Tyrell Bay, we pulled up next to "Halleluyah, Lady D's floating bar! Who yells over but Robert and Caroline, offering to pick us up! "Just leave the dink on the deck and we'll come get ya"!!!
What a great way to end a fabulous sail after so long! North no less!
Hugs, Dudley and Bec
05/24/2010, Goodbye Clarkes Court Bay Marina!!!
It's been 5 months since we sailed...but don't get too excited! We are sailing around the SW corner of Grenada, about 8 miles, to Martin's Bay, just outside of the Lagoon at St. Georges.
We had a lot to do, were supposed to leave by 11, didn't pull it off til after 1pm, but it was hard! We made lots of friends to bid farewell, had lots to do after living on board and not sailing, but we did it!
We've been invited to dinner onboard Marie Galante 2 as a generous reconnection and an aurevoir! Wheeennnnnn!
Of course, we were dead into the wind after we turned the corner and headed north, go figure, wind outta of the ENE!!!!
Dinner, beef, shrimp fondue in a special broth! We were late, but managed to gather at the pool for some wine and apps. Then a shower in the new and fabulous facilities at Port Louis Marina. (Nothing like the construction mess we were privy to when we were there last hurricane season). Very nice now!
Richard and Lucie are so wonderful, dinner was magical and they will always hold a special place in our hearts!
Dudley and Bec
When we got the call on the VHF that Lucie and Richard were actually here at the Hog Island Anchorage, we jumped in the dingy and went to say hi!
We've been friends now since we arrived in Grenada last July, 2009. So many memories, such wonderful friends!
05/21/2010, Clarkes Court Bay Marina...
Our neighbors and fun Dutch friends Hetta and Paul on S/V Winterlude are leaving! Hetta is flying to Curacao in the ABC's and Paul is going to single hand his big Irwin 43. Hetta is not a sailor she exclaims and Paul really wants to do this! He's been looking for crew and we even contemplated finally seeing Bonaire! What an adventure! Right?
For Paul, because we have our own to address and we're sticking to it!
It was a very nice turnout!
More later on our eminent departure!

Mumbai, Rubbishing rumours that Bollywood star Aamir Khan will be seen in his next film, writer-turned-director Neeraj Vora has said that he hasn't even met the actor yet.
"I have'nt even met Aamir yet. Neither have I narrated anything to him. These are all media reports. I'm still writing the film and the whole process is still outstanding," Vora told IANS.
"We (both Aamir and himself) are very clinical about what we do and it is only the script of the film that will decide it's fate (whether Aamir will star in it or not)," he added.
The news came after a leading daily claimed that Aamir has agreed to be a part of Vora's yet untitled romantic comedy and would also produce it.

This telemarker called me today and offered me free grocery store coupons and said they are associated with the newspaper. I refused and hung up because the last time they called, they started to ask for information such as birth day. Why do they need birthday to send me coupons?

If it is something related to the newspaper and coupons that would make sense. A few months ago my neighbor's son came by and asked if I wanted to sign up to receive coupons via mail instead of getting the coupons through the paper. I was trying to help him as it was a first job and so I signed up and now this number keeps calling our house and will not leave a message. I have a sneaky suspicion that they are some how related.

Really stepped his game up tonight. Stayed in control of himself. Made the extra pass. Took good shots.
Guy got heat all year, and now his experience is looking very valuable with the way we started that game.
This whole year I have doubted hi but he stepped up tonight. Props to him
I was about to do this.
I doubted that he could be a leader for us this week. I was wrong.
Great job, Chris!!
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
Agreed 100%!
Nice to have a guy that's been there before step up & be a leader when we need it most!
Great game, CA!
Chris has been great since "the shove", and was so valuable tonight. Completely under control, and just nails with his shots.
Handled the ball well in crunch time. Hustled. Made buckets. Got to the line. D'd up pretty well.
Fantastic game by Chris. He was one that really looked steady the entire game, not just the beginning run.
He's a perfect example of our team - both turned things around after rough start and are finishing strong.
"We are first and foremost an educational institution that values integrity, honesty and treating others with fairness and respect".
-ISU President Gregory Geoffroy; circa May 2003.
Great game out of Chris tonight. He showed great leadership on the floor.
This is why he is here. Good job CA!!!
I shall suckle from the c.a. tit.
Came through to stop unconn runs too. We needed those baskets.
I would let him have my wife for the night after that game. j/k
Yeah, he played great. Good effort from the start by everyone. If we can come out like that every game, we would be a scary team to play.

yep ...... turned me 180 degrees
Totally. Chris was awesome tonight. I've been critical of him for his shot selection, but really I think he fixed that 8-10 games ago. All of his shots tonight were very well selected (and executed)!

WiSK, Moonbeam and Bruno drive from Manchester to join Baz in Heyhead. Baz is part of a large protest against the demolition of the village – according to him, its church is a place of spiritual significance in the area. Its demolition is part of plan by sinister forces of order to control the region's leylines. Or so Baz claims. As far as WiSK, Moonbeam and Bruno care, it's an excuse for a day out and a bit of a shout at the police.
Gideon Gov is already at the site, being the manager responsible for the demolition of the church. It isn't the career he had dreamed of by a long shot, and Giddy wonders how he has found himself here. The last six months have been a blur, almost as if he were under a spell…
As for Hemlock, he has just flown back from Germany, filled with the fires of his Awakening in Altensteig. He returns home to find Heyhead the centre of a media circus, and heads for Persephone's cottage. As he nears the building, he senses the proximity of a spiritual presence. Working his will on the world around him, Hemlock realises that it is Saviel, his grandmother's familiar. If Saviel has been separated from Persephone, something dire must have happened. Hemlock heads towards all the noise to find out what is going on.
Over the preceding weeks, much of Heyhead has been torn down to make way for an expansion to Ringway's employee car park. Now, with the line of demolition a single street away from St. Aidan's church, the patience and reserve of those who care has finally snapped. An unseemly mass of local residents, well-wishers, church officials, religious support groups, eco-activists and the Socialist Worker's Party blocks the progress of the demolition. A thick line of police in riot gear separates the protesters from the now-idle workers
Struggling to make sense of the situation, Gideon meets his site foreman, Lucas Chatwin. Chatwin can barely conceal his resentment for Giddy (he had hoped for the job that Gideon now occupies) and cares little for the concerns of the protesters. As far as he is concerned, it's Giddy's job to convince the police to move the protesters. The fate of Heyhead was sealed in law long ago. Gideon's job is to enforce that.
Before Giddy can decide how to proceed, a local journalist arrives on the scene. Louise Blyth, she writes for the Manchester Evening News, and subjects Giddy to several moments of uncomfortable questioning before he is able to usher her out of the site office cabin. No sooner is she gone, than Chatwin starts pressuring Giddy into talking to the police about moving the protesters. And again they are interrupted as Hemlock comes barging into the office, demanding explanations.
It is not a friendly meeting. Gideon, slightly out of his depth, struggles to explain to Hemlock what is happening, but Hemlock responds with anger and racial slurs, then storms off towards the church itself. Giddy orders Chatwin to leave the office, then pours himself a large coffee. It is clearly going to be a long day.
WiSK, Moonbeam and Bruno park the car and find Baz in the crowd. He is down on the frontlines, hurling abuse at the police. While Bruno joins him, Moonbeam is drawn to the church, sensing its spiritual energies. WiSK accompanies her. As they draw near, Moonbeam casts her spiritual sight over the church, and sees a trio of death epiphlings huddled on its eaves.
They enter the building and Moonbeam is struck by a strange vision of the church at night, lit by candles. An aged man stumbles in, soaked from the rain. He is wearing tartan and carrying a mediaeval greatsword, and collapses against a pew with a cry. No sooner have the echoes of his cry died away, than a second figure hurries into a view – a priest, judging by his cassock. He rushes to the old man's aid, clutches his hand… and both vanish.
Moonbeam stumbles under the effect of the vision, but WiSK senses nothing, his magical awareness nowhere near as powerful as hers. The church itself is empty, streams of dirty sunlight bathing the rows of pews, electric lights cold and idle. But power slumbers here – it is a Node of considerable strength. Moonbeam approaches the altar to investigate and discovers that the church is not deserted at all.
From a rear room, father Alan Woomish appears, displeased at the intrusion. He tries to usher WiSK and Moonbeam out of the church, mistaking them for protesters. Before Moonbeam can disagree, Hemlock bursts in through the church doors, demanding to speak to father Parker and wanting to know where his grandmother is.
Woomish explains that Parker retired earlier this year and introduces himself. His manner softens when he realises who Hemlock is – Persephone Rhys is well-known in Heyhead, after all, and Hemlock helped care for the reliquary under Parker – and answers Hemlock's questions.
Persephone has gone to Manchester, Woomish claims, to visit people there – although he avoids revealing exactly where she is or who she is with. Woomish says that she will doubtless be back in a few days, and that Hemlock need not worry. Hemlock, however, does exactly that.
Certain that something suspicious is afoot, Hemlock leaves the church and finds Ormskirk, the nonagenarian groundskeeper. Ormskirk is very worried about Persephone's absence and is sure that Woomish is somehow involved. Ormskirk knows that Woomish sent the contents of the church reliquary to somewhere in Manchester, once the demolition of the church became inevitable. This was about three weeks back.
Ten days ago, Ormskirk saw Woomish arguing with Persephone about something. She was very upset after Woomish departed. A few days later – about a week ago – three strangers came to visit Woomish. Ormskirk thinks they were priests. One was called Baedecker. Persephone went missing the next day. Ormskirk is certain these events are connected – he just isn't certain how.
Hemlock stands in the church grounds, trying to make sense of matters. Moonbeam and WiSK cautiously approach, having overheard much of the preceding discussions. For Moonbeam, the loss of a grandmother is a spur to action – her own grandmother's spirit is her guide and she feels Hemlock's loss keenly. She offers to help reunite Hemlock and Persephone, as does WiSK. Hemlock, sensing their Awakened souls, agrees.
At this point they notice that Louise Blyth has been standing by one of the graves, listening in on their conversation. After she sheepishly apologises, Louise admits that she overheard them talking about Persephone's disappearance. If there is something untoward afoot, she would be more than happy to help out – in return for a story, of course. Louise doesn't have to wait for long.
Back at the site office, Chatwin has finally worn Gideon down. Giddy goes in search of the local police commander (a wryly humorous man by the name of O'Malley) and asks if the police are prepared to move the protesters on so that demolition can proceed. O'Malley informs Giddy that a mounted unit is already en route, with orders to disperse the protesters.
And so Gideon and the others watch from the sidelines as mounted police sweep into position, then charge the protest line. Gideon urges restraint, but O'Malley pays little attention. The mounted officers trample several protesters underfoot – at least one hapless soul is dragged away unconscious – and drive the others before them. Any who resist – Baz among them – are beaten into submission and arrested. It is an appalling display of brutality that drives Giddy from the site office in disgust.
Louise races over to the scene of the action, camera in hand, but the others hang back. Shortly thereafter, Gideon makes his way to the church to clear his head and put the images of the police charge behind him. He finds Hemlock and the others in the graveyard and joins them, aghast at what he has seen.
Hemlock apologises for his earlier rudeness, but Gideon waves the apology aside. He can sense the power lurking within St. Aidan's, and wonders if there are deeper motivations for the demolition of the church. His suspicions are confirmed by Hemlock, who insists that the church is a site of great spiritual importance, and its demolition would be an abomination. Seeing that several agendas have combined here in Heyhead, Gideon agrees to see what he can do to improve matters. He might, for example, be able to delay demolition if new calculations reveal problems with the existing plans. Heartened by Giddy's show of conscience, Hemlock invites the group to join him at his grandmother's cottage.
As the police mop up the last protesters, Gideon gives word to close the site for the day. The media are crawling all over the place now and there is little chance of getting any more work done. Hemlock comes with him, and reports Persephone's absence to O'Malley. The superintendent is dubious, suspecting this to be a ploy to delay the demolition of the church, but Hemlock is insistent. He tells O'Malley that people from St. Ann's may well be behind Persephone's disappearance, and O'Malley reluctantly agrees to look into the matter.
Somewhat mollified, Hemlock takes Gideon and the others to Persephone's home, Rose Cottage, known locally as Old Thatch. There they talk frankly with one another, openly admitting to being Awakened (apart from Bruno, who mocks them as the kind of weirdos who are always looking to get in touch with their inner dolphin). Although they see the world in a variety of different ways, they are sure that they can work together. Hemlock is unwilling to wait for O'Malley to act and, for reasons of morality or sheer curiosity, the others resolve to help him find Persephone and discover the truth behind her disappearance.
Hemlock begins by communing with Saviel. From Persephone's familiar, he learns that men came from a church in Manchester, asking her about a book that Woomish found references to in the church records. The book was supposed to be in the reliquary, yet seems to have been removed before the demolition of Heyhead. Where is it? Persephone claimed ignorance, and the men invited her to come to Manchester as their guests. Saviel is certain that Persephone knew she was in danger, but she seems to have gone willingly. Before she departed, she instructed her familiar to wait here for Hemlock's return – and to inform him of what happened.
Further investigation among Hemlock's fellow villagers confirms this: the man called Baedecker is a priest of Saint Ann's Church in Manchester. If Persephone went with him and his colleagues, that is where she will most likely be. Hemlock sends Saviel forth to seek his grandmother, then heads back to the cottage.
Back at Old Thatch, Moonbeam calls upon her spirit guide, her grandmother's ghost. With her aid, Moonbeam casts her vision back over the preceding days. She sees Persephone and Baedecker talking. Both glisten with Prime, and Mind Arts are thick in the air. Persephone is no fool and accepts Baedecker's offer of hospitality at St. Ann's. Moonbeam sees something else as well – shortly after Persephone's departure, Woomish enters the house with a strange metal amulet. Using it like a lodestone, he searches the property. It leads him to the attic, where he discovers a black wooden box that confounds his attempts to open it. Woomish takes the box and leaves.
Hemlock arrives back at Old Thatch and briefs the others on what he has learned. Moonbeam adds her own insights. They have a motive – the possession of a box secreted here from the reliquary – and they have actors – Baedecker and Woomish. And, moreover, they know where to look next – St. Ann's Church, for Saviel soon returns and confirms that Persephone is there. Strange spirits guard the place, however, and the familiar dared not risk their wrath. Gideon realises that the demolition of Heyhead may have been motivated by an attempt to control the power inherent in St. Aidan's, and again pledges his assistance.
Not wanting to waste any more time, the mages pile into Bruno's battered green BMW and head for Manchester. They arrive as night is fully fallen across the city. St. Ann's Church is located in the heart of the city's shopping districts, at the far end of St. Ann's Square. Saviel warns again that astral Umbrood known as Vigils are standing watch over the place. The mages simply approach the main doors and demand entrance.
They are met by Baedecker himself. The priest-mage is nervous and paranoid and initially he tries to deny that Persephone is here, but Hemlock is barely able to contain his anger, and demands to see her or shed Baedecker's blood on the altar. Baedecker acquiesces, and takes Hemlock to see his grandmother, who is resting in one of the inner cloisters.
After a tearful reunion, Hemlock rounds on Baedecker, demanding to know how anyone could kidnap an old woman. Baedecker explains that Persephone came of her own free will, but Hemlock is not fooled – he knows his grandmother had little choice. And for what?
Baedecker produces a black box – the same one that Moonbeam saw in her vision – and says that it contains something of great power and importance. Persephone has no right to keep it to herself – it is a holy relic and belongs to the Celestial Chorus. Persephone argues that Baedecker's Tradition has no right to the contents. The box, she says, contains a book that was written by a priest of Heyhead centuries ago and given into the keeping of her family. It is hers.
Baedecker's temper finally snaps and he makes it clear that he will turn his holy arts on the heathen if need be. If Persephone does not fear him, perhaps Hemlock's life is more valuable to her. Hemlock can barely believe that he is being threatened, but it is more than enough for Persephone. Whatever the contents of the book, it is not worth risking her grandson.
'Harm none, Baedecker,' she says. 'But you will pay for this, I promise you.'
Without further ado, she murmurs soft words over the box. It opens, revealing a battered book lying within.
'Ah, finally, finally,' Baedecker says, eyes alight with greed. 'Ask and ye shall surely receive.'
He opens the book, eyes scanning the pages before him. At the same moment, there is a crash from the nave of the church, followed by the harsh stutter of gunfire. A shriek echoes through the priory. Baedecker, Hemlock and Persephone race back into the main body of the building. Hemlock sees his companions confronted by armed intruders.
Foremost among them is a woman in a long, grey overcoat. It is immediately clear from her aura that she is one of the Awakened. She is flanked by a trio of men in combat gear, sporting submachine guns. There is no negotiation. No tense stand-off. The newcomers simply open fire. Unprepared for such an explosion of violence, the mages dive for cover. As Baedecker attempts to flee, he inadvertently trips. He loses his grip on the book and it goes skidding across the floor to land, by complete coincidence, at the woman's feet.
Realising that this is a strike team of unknown origin sent to acquire the book, the mages do what they can do prevent its theft. Bruno pulls his shotgun from beneath his trench-coat and fells one of the men in combat gear with a blast to the face. Moonbeam stalls the other with a wash of spiritual energy. WiSK manages to disarm the third, but recoils in horror when the man's arm splits open to reveal a hi-tech firearm. WiSK only just manages to throw himself behind the altar as it spits blazing death in his wake. Hemlock attempts to empower his body with inhuman strength to battle the newcomers, but his magic goes awry, backlashing, and he suffers terrible wounds to his Life Pattern.
Gideon scrambles for the diary, but the woman in the grey coat snatches it up and produces a strange device from her pocket. She punches coordinates into the device and vanishes. Bruno and Moonbeam finish off the second of the armed men, but the third flees, crashing through a window and fleeing into the night.
In less than a minute, the attack is over. The book has been stolen and the mages have faced a foe they never even knew existed. They leave Baedecker with dire threats not to interfere with their lives again, and put St. Ann's behind them, heading back to Heyhead. Persephone is safe, but the mages have learned how fleeting safety can be. When morning comes they decide that they will try to discover who stole the book – until then, Rose Cottage will be their sanctuary.
