'The Walking Dead' 4.14: Too Far
Everyone has their limits. Years ago, I recommended The Sopranos to a well-known science fiction author. She told me that from what she had seen and heard of the series, the violence went too far for her. I understood that, even though the violence in The Sopranos - and in many other television shows - doesn't bother me.
But everyone has their limits. And The Walking Dead reached mine in the brutally powerful episode - 4.14 - Sunday night. There's something about killing of children - whether by a psycho, or as the result of a cold-blooded irrefutable logic - that I just can't abide. It of course happens in reality. But it upsets me too much to give me what I want in my entertainment.
Both killings made perfect, horrendous sense in the narrative. Lizzie, the older sister, had an irrational but understandable view of the zombies. Like Hershel, she believed that they were still in some sense human. She believed she could communicate and even be friends with them. And if she could do that, if she could imagine she could be friends and play with them, why would she want to kill them with a bullet or knife in their brain? Challenged by everyone on this belief, it makes sense - a sick, deluded sense, but sense - that if she killed her sister Mika, she was only transforming Mika into a different kind of person, and this would prove to everyone that Lizzie was right about the zombies. That was logical, but it was horrible to see - more horrible that any of the other deaths in the series, including Lori's.
In some ways, though, Carol's killing of Lizzie was even worse, precisely because it was completely logical and pretty much the only thing to do. Melissa McBride gave a tour-de-force performance as Carol. In effect, Lizzie had killed Carol's surrogate daughter, Mika. But Lizzie was Carol's surrogate daughter, too. To then have to kill Lizzie, as a way protecting Judith, was an unimaginably, impossibly harrowing decision. But, honestly, I would have rather not experienced what Carol had to do. In the vast possibilities of narrative arcs on television, I would rather not have gone down a road that led inevitably to Lizzie's death by Carol's deliberate hand.
Everyone has their limits. I guess I'll keep watching The Walking Dead, because there's a lot in the series that is exceptional television. But I don't know what I'll do if I ever see anything like this again.

Puerto Rico's Gov. Luis Fortuño Wants to Upgrade Gay Marriage Ban to Constitutional Amendment Status
Luis Fortuño, the Republican governor of Puerto Rico, has a grand plan straight out of the 1990s: ban gay marriage constitutional amendment. Are we really doing this again?
As these things before evermore predictable, Fortuño outlined his plan in front of a crowd of religious leaders.
Gov. Fortuño told a group of religious leaders Friday that he plans to consult voters about the inclusion of a constitutional amendment that would declare the exclusivity of marriage as the union between a man and a woman and to veto any legislation that would lower from 16 to 14 years old the age for a minor to legally consent to have sexual relations.
Fortuño made his remarks during a speech to religious leaders at the Nueva Cosecha Church in Carolina where he sought the support of conservative groups to help reduce the island's high crime rate. The proposed vote in favor of the constitutional amendment declaring the exclusivity of marriage between a man and a woman would be part of the proposed vote that would amend the Constitution to reduce the size of the Legislature.
Nevermind that Puerto Rico already bans gay marriage there, and bans any recognition of it from other jurisdictions. But those were merely laws passed by the legislature. Getting voters to enact a constitutional ban would make it more permanent. And fun for children!
So, he likes having sex with 14 year old girls? The loser probably can't get laid so he has to resort to baiting and raping pubescent girls… He looks like Balky from 'Perfect Strangers' so I don't wonder that women probably laugh at him!!! And I'm the pervert for sticking my schmekel in other consenting men's butts??
Bet he has a deep pit in his basement too and likes to sew human skins together…Jan 12, 2010 at 2:51 pm · @Reply ·
Lets hope a big tsunami comes along and swallows Puerto Rico up but first, get all the gays out of that homophobic cesspool, then mother nature can take care of the rest.
@JR: It said he would veto any attempts to lower the age of consent to 14.
Ricky Martin – time to step up.
I agree Vesper.
It is time for Ricky Martin and so many other Latino celebrities, including Puerto Rican ones, to come out and fight for their rights. But, sadly, I doubt that will happen. This year Ricky is coming out (ummm, not really, not in that sense), with a new album, and he is sure to be doing the promotional rounds with that rag parading as journalism, "People en Espanol" magazine, showing everyone his made-to-order kids and talking about his memoirs (hmmm, I wonder if those will include a chapter on his relationship with one of the forever-jailed Menendez brothers, or how he got his bf out of Cuba?)
It is despicable that with the crimes against gay men on the island, none of these people will step up and take a stand. Guess it's easier to crusade against human trafficking in India than it is to face your people and speak your mind, huh Ricky?
Slowly, surely, steadily, the religious right has been taking over Puerto Rico.
Ricky Martin is of the religious right. I doubt very much anyone of us will be hearing from him about this.
wow queerty! I live in puerto rico and the day after the governor said that the governor's mansion put out a statement saying he DOESN'T intend to raise hetero marriage to the constitution. so queerty please write the whole story not half of it. who the hell does the research on this site? really!
Do you guys forget? Pretty Ricky has vowed never to let anyone know who he goes to bed with until the day he dies to Barbara Walters I believe in a 2000 Oscar special interview.
Ricky needs to come to China and adopt more children since he can not find a woman on this planet haha. Sticky Ricky anyone?
A person stands in front of a crowd of different people, the people are in pairs.
The person steps up onto a podium and points at two people.
"You two cannot marry". The crowd nods sagely in approval.
The person points at two more people.
"You two also cannot marry". The crowd nods sagely although one or two with less enthusiasm.
The person points at a dozen more pairs
"You people cannot marry". The crowd is now fragmented, with many shaking their heads. Others cry out in approval.
The person points at those who cried out in fervent approval. "You may not marry."
The people who were crying out in approval stop suddenly.
The person stands on the podium and points at himself. "I may marry who I want .. for I stand here in the place of power".
The crowd have left him.
Read into it what you will.
Boricuas and gays,,,becareful of this new book that is coming out about Puerto Rico!! Rumors have it that it is anti Gay!

While we wander and wonder about what the hell is happening to our country, I stumbled across a few conversations that troubled me. Troubled me because they were so wrong about some basic concepts of our government. So I went to the U.S. Citizenship test just to make sure that I knew what I needed to know to be an American. I didn't and chances are you won't score too well either. Questions like "What is the supreme law of the United States? Can you name the original 13 colonies? What special group advises the President? How many terms can a President serve? A Senator? A member of the House? Can you name the rights listed in the Bill of Rights?" Google the answers if you don't know, that is what an engaged citizen would do instead of having it spoon fed to you. We have become a willfully ignorant society, let the change begin with each of us if we are to survive.

I believe if it is constructive, teaching a new skills, somehow gonna make me money now or in the future, or helping me or others in some kind of way,then yes i do enjoy it.
What about enjoying it at the moment, enjoying programming itself?
I'm not a professional, but when I'm doing programming, usually I do enjoy it on the spot, not only because of some future and/or indirect benefits. I don't feel bad if something that I do doesn't have any benefits.
yes i do enjoy programming at the moment, when i complete a task i have been hacking at some time, the feeling of accomplishment is quite satisfying

GD it, why do I have to spread some Reputation around before giving VorpalBunny another +rep?
He deserves getting +rep-ed, and I don't understand why he can't get it.
There aren't much people who deserve the +reps anyways.
EDIT: Btw Luckie,
Because we don't want friends piling reps on each other for the lulz. If you think someone is cool, you don't have to +rep him every time he posts, you know.
Woah Cath hit a bright bar. Hax. I just had to jumpstart it, eh?
Rofl Andz ' -'
We hit bright bars for the behind-the-scenes stuff we do around the forum lol. And your rep powars are hax, Veil. >_>
Anyway. Andz. Spread the love~ Monogamy is overrated. Try repping the guys who work their asses off for the forum, like Paul. :U Once you hit 10, you can give some man-luvin' to Luckie again. ^o^
Lol, I thought it was rant on rep [again], but yeah as above mentioned, stop monogamy, if it comes to rep!
Agreed. +rep doesn't do much since the mod overlords hax their way to 9 stars anyways. I like spreading the luls around because Rant never gets enough of it, and if anyone wants to find out where all the man-luvin' in MMOG is, go lurk around the profile pages until you find the <STEP> Fan Club group 8D
and lots of luvin
The Staff has as much rep powers as the rest of you. -.-
Well, except the admins. They're God Tier.
:gar: 56 nao.
-79... http://i44.tinypic.com/2mfkee.jpg
You can always spread love to people in random! :py01:
If you want rep, help out other members. :x
Boggles my mind how I have positive rep. And while people may deserve positive/negative reputation, it really doesn't do much. At best it warns new people who to trust and befriend and who to ignore which is pretty narrow-minded. Just do things without expecting a reward and you won't feel like a big green phony.
I guess some people want a negative rep to look notorious or something?
Some of us actually like spreading rep around. It's good for encouraging people to answer questions posted in the gaming forums, or for offering fixes to other people's tech problems. Or, in the case of Luckie, for amusing us. :o
Of course, in the end it doesn't really count for something other than getting tiny green ticks. User experience is not affected. Heck, the new members probably don't even know what the green ticks are for,
I would rant about my last rep down, which I consider unjustified, but then again that would be kinda pointless as it's just one, and idk, I don't really care as long as it's not being abused, plus it was on random lol, however I feel offended sometimes if I can't find a reason for being de-repped
then again I have another problem, if I start getting too much of one thing, or w/e (talking in general), it seem to consume me <.< somewhat and makes jaelous as if I want more of it and then I do unexpected things or w/e and well, turns out bad, so I try to never expect anything x.x well it's not easy, I just try to keep myself normal and don't go crazy around, showing off, trying to get more or w/e, although I consider this normal for most people, as yes, I know the feeling lol, but it's kinda ridiculous as it goes overdone at some point
Really off-topic <.<
Also, another problem of me, sometimes I have trouble to talk to ppl, which last time got me in real trouble, it depends on how I feel, last time was at most because I wasn't having enough talking experience, and then I was feeling somewhat strange, tho I also felt offended by how things went x.x, not easy to explain and don't want to disclose much of what happened here, better don't talk about it, however I consider this a problem for me because I a lot feel lost while talking and idk what to say or how to react to things properly, if I'm explaining this well, it all depends how I feel, also yes, at that time I wasn't feeling friendly enough either. Talking about it, the results of it is now non-existent - considered dead by myself for the moment, well there was never any communication or any friendly relationship in between the area I was, I just noticed the place as dead yesterday ... meh, I'm kinda happy it's gone actually, tho I also wanted to see it go x.x oh well, wasn't really worth the trouble
o.o...when it comes to rep, i failed
I always forget there is even a reputation system. Trying to think if I have ever given out a + or - rep. Hmm..
red is the new green, go green red!

Highland Guardian (Daughters of the Glen Series #2)by Melissa Mayhue
View All Available Formats & Editions
Ian McCullough is neck-deep in his own trouble. A half-mortal descendant of Faeries, he's been a Guardian for more than six hundred years, but he's never encountered a woman like Sarah. Assigned to protect her, he finds the job tougher than he could have imagined. Oh, he can handle the stalker, and even the renegade Faeries trying to kidnap her. But falling in love means forsaking his role as Guardian -- which is some-thing he could never do.
But there is no denying the passion that exists between two souls fated to be together.

Read an Excerpt
"The threat is over." Dallyn bowed to the assembled Fae dignitaries, long blond hair sweeping across his shoulders at the movement.
"Not over," Darnee corrected, her green eyes flashing in his direction. "Only suspended for the
moment. The threat will never be over as long as a single Nuadian lives."
Dallyn acknowledged her point with a slight nod. "Granted, but we have disabled most of the Portals. A guard has been set round the Fountain of Souls."
"We must do more. The souls on the Mortal Plain are still at risk. The Nuadians can gain limited amounts of the energy they seek by releasing souls from the Mortals' bodies. Without access to the Fountain, that will be their next logical target."
"The Fae can no longer fight on the Mortal Plain. You know that." Dallyn scowled.
"True. But they can gain control of weak Mortals,
ones who will gladly carry out the destruction they desire. We must guard against that eventuality."
"What would you suggest, my child?" The woman seated at the center of the great table spoke up.
"Guardians, Earth Mother, placed at each of the remaining Portals." Darnee turned to the woman who had asked the question. "Guardians drawn from the Mortal Plain itself."
"How can Mortals possibly defend against Fae? Our kind can only be seen by Mortals when we choose." Dallyn faced her directly now.
"Not ordinary Mortals. Mortals who share Fae blood." She arched an eyebrow, scanning the assemblage. "Many of our kind have half-Mortal offspring."
A low murmur spread through the room.
"This is true, Daughter." The Earth Mother frowned. "Our people have not always demonstrated proper restraint in their dealings with the Mortal race. Many of these offspring exist and the numbers will continue to grow through the generations. Even a small amount of Fae blood would allow them to see us. But most are unacknowledged. How would you find them?"
"I will seek them out."
"I agree that they would suit well, Darnee." Dallyn shrugged. "But Mortals have such short life spans. They would barely learn their task before their time would be at an end."
"That's another advantage of their Fae blood. They'll already be longer lived. And we can easily enhance that by exposing them to the Fountain of Souls. The energy will add many centuries to their time."
Dallyn rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I see the merit of this plan. It could work. And many of them may carry gifts bestowed by their bloodline."
"Exactly." Darnee nodded in agreement. "Second sight, extra strength, other perceptions unusual in the Mortal Plain. All of these things will make them easier to identify and more capable of the task."
"I can see you've given this proposition a great deal of thought." The Earth Mother looked around the assembled group. "We cannot allow the Nuadians to disrupt the timelines of the souls on the Mortal Plain. We know firsthand the chaos that brings. Forcing too many of them from their chosen bodies before they are destined to leave could ultimately damage the very flow of time itself." She rose from her seat, lifting her hands to signal an end to the discontented murmur that swept the hall. "My decision is made. You two, Darnee and Dallyn, will share responsibility for choosing and training these Guardians. You will share oversight for their performance. Any questions? No? Then you will begin at once. There is no time to spare."
"Thank you, Earth Mother." The two bowed and hastily left the grand room, quietly discussing how to carry out their assignment.
"Bloody hell."
Ian McCullough glared at the telephone receiver he had slammed into place. Nothing was going as planned this week. He needed to be in London, following up on the latest threat. Instead here he was at Thistle Down Manor, waiting to play innkeeper to some stressed-out American while Henry lay in a hospital bed recovering from knee-replacement surgery.
How many times had he tried to discourage Henry from renting out the cottage? He'd lost count decades ago.
"This one needs to be here, Ian," Henry had told him on the way to the hospital. "I know it displeases you when I let the cottage, but rarely does it have any impact on you or yer responsibilities."
"Well it does this time. Honestly, it isna like you need the income. I've seen to that many times over. These guests of yers always need watching. You know the primary responsibility is to protect the Portal."
Henry had given him a sheepish grin. "I know, I know. But I have my own gifts, and I canna ignore them. I could feel it when I spoke to this woman. I believe her soul has been wounded. The peace of Heather Cottage, and the nearness of the Portal, will do much to help her." He'd grimaced in pain as he shifted in his seat. "If no for this damn knee, I would no have troubled you with this." He'd smiled then, his wrinkled face reflecting his inner calm. "Dinna worry. I'll be up and around in a few days. Peter and Martha will be there to help keep an eye on her as well, and you can get back to the things you need to be about."
Ian continued to glare at the telephone, his dark eyes narrowing, as if that inanimate object held full responsibility for his latest problem. Peter and Martha. They were the only hired help at Thistle Down Manor, although they were more like family than employees. Peter had taken over the position of caretaker after his father retired. When he married Martha, she came to work there as well, as housekeeper and cook. They really did shoulder most of the day-to-day care of the grounds and house. And now they wouldn't be returning until early tomorrow morning.
Their daughter had gone into labor early this morning. Her husband's call had come out of the blue, so there had been no time to prepare the cottage for their guest's arrival before they left. Now, thanks to the weather, they were staying at the hospital overnight.
Just one more thing to complicate his life.
The intensity of the storm raging outside only added to Ian's irritation. The downpour that had begun hours ago would probably flood the valley below. That would most likely mean power failures again. From what little news he'd heard, the storm front was huge, extending north well beyond Glasgow.
Surely the American wouldn't try to navigate the narrow backroads in weather like this.
"Perhaps this storm is good news, after all," he mumbled to himself as he rummaged through the hall closet searching for the emergency supply of candles. He glanced at the clock. She was an hour past due. Chances were she had stayed in one of the larger cities once she'd run into the storm.
"Thank the Fates for that, at least." The very last thing he wanted was to deal with the vacationing American on his own. Now it appeared he wouldn't have to.
Ian smiled to himself, and, feeling somewhat relieved, he carried the candles back into the library. After building a large fire in the fireplace, he settled back into his favorite chair to read, relaxing for the first time all day.
"Good Lord!"
Sarah Douglas slammed on her brakes to avoid the cows in front of her car. It wasn't the first time in the last three hours she'd almost collided with livestock. She had known driving would be a challenge here. After the first hour or so, even traveling on the wrong side hadn't been so bad. But since leaving the A76, she'd also had to contend with wandering animals and roads that were narrower than her driveway back home. By the time she added in the rain coming down in buckets for the last few hours, her nerves were almost completely frazzled.
Driving conditions alone would have been bad enough, but that was on top of twelve hours spent either on planes or in airports waiting for planes, not to mention the most horrible flight ever from Toronto to Glasgow. The woman seated next to her was traveling with two small children, one or the other of which was crying from the moment of takeoff until they'd landed. Sarah had literally been without sleep for more than twenty hours.
She should have stopped at one of the hotels she'd passed near the airport. Or even the one she'd noticed as she'd turned off the main highway, if you could call it that, at Dumfries. But she hadn't.
"Get a grip," she muttered, and then chuckled in spite of her circumstances.
Oh, she had a grip. On the steering wheel. So tight, in fact, that her fingers were starting to cramp.
Taking a deep breath, she consciously relaxed her hands and slowly accelerated as the last of the cows cleared a path in front of her.
It shouldn't be much farther now. Panic returned briefly as she again considered that she might be lost, but, taking another deep breath, she regained control.
The directions that nice Henry McCullough had emailed her were very thorough and she'd been careful. Well, except for starting off in the wrong direction when she'd left the airport. Once she'd gotten that figured out and headed back the right way, she'd been very careful. That little scenic detour had only increased her driving time by an hour or two.
It was simply exhaustion wreaking havoc with her emotions now. Exhaustion and the storm. And the dark. It was intensely dark. Between the late hour and the weather, she could only see those areas lit up by her headlights or brief flashes of lightning.
As if on cue, lightning sliced through the sky, striking directly ahead of Sarah's car. Illuminated in its flash was the figure of a man, staring straight at her, his face a mask of surprise. Once again she slammed on her brakes, but this time she accompanied the action with a scream, as her car began to slide slowly toward the man. He stood as if frozen for only a moment more before leaping -- actually leaping -- over her vehicle.
The automobile came to a gentle stop, nestled against a high rock wall. Breathing hard, Sarah peeled her fingers from the steering wheel and looked around. There was no man anywhere to be seen.
Closing her eyes, she let her head drop back to the headrest, the sound of her pounding heart filling her ears. He must have been a figment of her imagination. Real flesh-and-blood men did not leap over moving vehicles and then completely disappear.
Slowly she opened her eyes. Through the rivulets of rain running down her window, she read the plaque on the wall next to her. Thistle Down Manor. At least she wasn't lost.
The car, firmly stuck in the mud, refused to move either forward or back. Sarah turned off the ignition. The absence of noise from the engine only magnified the sound of rain beating on the metal above her head. Now what?
Choices and decisions. She could sit here all night, waiting to be rescued, or she could get out and walk.
How ironic. Wasn't that really what this whole trip was about, choices and decisions? After all those years of having no choices, of following others' decisions as was required of her, she'd finally chosen to change her life, to take charge. She'd decided for the first time in her life to embrace, rather than ignore, the intuitive feelings that had plagued her from childhood. It was one of those feelings, a driving need to do something before it was too late, that had landed her in this very spot.
Now it was time for her to act. Certainly not the most convenient time to realize that action doesn't come easily to a natural-born coward.
Peering through the gates, Sarah could faintly make out the looming form of an enormous old mansion, across a bridge and down a long drive. The little cottage she'd rented would be somewhere nearby on the estate, though she couldn't see any sign of it from where she sat.
The distance would make for a pleasant walk on any normal day. It didn't, however, look very pleasant right now. Of course, it wasn't a normal day. It was late at night in the middle of a storm. Not to mention the man she thought she'd seen earlier.
Taking one last look at the rain pouring outside the car, Sarah sighed and reached back for her shoulder bag and purse. Her choice made, she opened the door.
The rain's icy chill hit her as she emerged from the car. She'd left the headlights on to illuminate the path. The battery would be dead by morning, but that was the least of her worries right now. If that figment of her imagination showed up again, she wanted to see him coming since she doubted she would hear him over the noise of the storm.
She scanned the trees and shivered. The back of her neck prickled, as if eyes watched from those woods. The feeling grew in intensity and she started to run.
The bridge was much longer than it had looked, and not until she'd crossed over it did the panicky fear of being followed leave her. She stopped, leaning over to catch her breath. Glancing back, she saw nothing through the rain except the wavering glow of her headlights.
If this whole thing weren't so frightening, it would be funny.
Shifting the heavy bag on her shoulder, she turned toward the house and started walking up the long drive. She hoped Henry McCullough was still awake.
Ian awoke with a start. He'd been dreaming. Dreams were rare for him and, to his way of thinking, that was a good thing. He learned long ago -- very, very long ago -- that when he dreamed, it always meant something. The "something" was always a very accurate warning of the future and, more often than not, it warned of something bad.
He tried to recall the dream now. He'd been in the forest and there had been a woman, although he hadn't been able to see her clearly, and some type of danger. And that blasted pounding.
Pounding, he suddenly realized, that continued even now that he was awake. He stood up, feeling disoriented. The book he'd been reading fell unheeded to the floor.
Where was that noise coming from?
Moving into the hallway, he followed the sound, his senses coming fully alert.
"Hello? Mr. McCullough? Is anyone there?" Muffled words reached him, followed by more pounding.
A woman's voice.
Damn. The American had come, after all.
What was wrong with the woman? Didn't she realize how dangerous driving in one of these storms could be? Didn't she have any sense at all?
He strode to the door and threw it open, fully intending to give his visitor the tongue-lashing she deserved for her reckless behavior.
"Do you bloody well realize what time it is?" He'd begun to yell when the sight of her on his doorstep struck him speechless.
Standing there in the pouring rain, with her hair plastered to her face, she was completely drenched and shivering hard enough the movement was visible to him even in the dark.
At the sound of his voice, she drew back sharply, losing her footing in the puddle that had formed on the stoop. Only his grabbing her elbows prevented her taking a nasty spill down the steps.
"Sorry. I'm sorry." Her teeth chattered so violently he could barely understand her mumbled apology. "I...I didn't think about the time. The drive took so much longer than I'd planned."
She feebly tried to pull her arms from his grasp.
Rather than letting go, he tightened his grip, drawing her inside the entrance hall, where she stood, dripping, her eyes cast down as if studying the intricate patterns on the marble floor. She made no move to stop him when he slipped the strap of the heavy bag from her shoulder, and dropped it at her feet.
She glanced up then, almost furtively, and their eyes met.
Green, like the deep forest. Her eyes were an intense green that sucked him in, captured him, prevented him from looking away. They widened an instant before darting back down to resume their examination of the floor.
The contact broken, Ian gave himself a mental shake.
How unusual.
"Stay right here. I'll get something to dry you off and soon we'll have you all warmed up."
He raced upstairs and grabbed an armful of towels, stopping only to pull a blanket off the foot of his bed before returning to his guest.
She stood as he'd left her, huddled into herself, shivering as a small puddle formed at her feet.
Wrapping the blanket around her shoulders, he guided her toward the library. She'd be much better there. Thanks to the fire he'd built earlier in the evening, it was the warmest room in the place.
"Here are some towels. I'll pop into the kitchen and find something warm for you to drink. Is tea all right, or do you prefer coffee?" She was an American, after all.
"Tea would be wonderful, thank you." Only a whisper.
She took the towels and began to dry her face and hair as he left the room.
While he waited for the water to boil, he let his thoughts drift to the woman drying off in his library. She intrigued him. A great deal. Which was most unusual in and of itself.
The old saying about eyes being windows to the soul hadn't become an old saying without very good reason. It was absolutely true. Catching a glimpse of what lived behind those windows, however, was extraordinary. Souls valued their privacy.
Looking into this woman's eyes, he'd felt an unusually strong energy pulling at him. Her windows had been wide open, her soul leaning out, demanding his attention like the French harlots he'd seen so many years ago, hanging out of the Barbary Coast bordellos.
He couldn't recall having run across anything like it in all his years. She was something entirely new.
A thrill of anticipation ran through his body. "Something entirely new" was a rare experience for Ian. After six centuries spent shuffling between the Mortal Plain and the Realm of Faerie, he often thought he'd seen it all.
During that time, he'd also learned countless valuable lessons. One of those lessons was that the rare experiences were usually the best. Certainly the most important.
Yes, he was quite intrigued by Miss...
What was her name? He couldn't remember. He couldn't even remember if Henry had ever told him her name. He'd spent so much time thinking of her as "The American," her name had been of no importance.
That was certainly changed now. Playing innkeeper to his little American tourist had unexpectedly become a much more stimulating prospect.
Bending over in front of the fire, Sarah vigorously scrubbed at her hair with the towel. She'd read all about Scotland's unpredictable climate in the bagful of travel guides she'd bought, but nothing had prepared her for the reality of it. In spite of the fire, the blanket, and the towels, she was still cold and soggy.
And enormously embarrassed.
One look at her host and she might as well have been a teenager again, completely tongue-tied and unsure of herself. That first glance had fairly taken her breath away, leaving her stammering and unable to make eye contact with anything but her own feet. It wasn't the sort of behavior she expected from a mature woman. Particularly not when she was the mature woman in question.
Handsome men had always had that effect on her, and this one was certainly a prime example. The classic line "tall, dark and handsome" could have been written especially for him. He towered over her by a good six inches. His eyes, a brown so dark they might actually be black, matched his hair. Hair a bit too long, curling around his neck, just onto the cream-colored turtleneck sweater he wore. The sweater clearly outlined a chest that belonged on a pinup calendar. He could be Mr. January, perfect start to a new year. A man like that might even get more than one month.
He was one outstanding specimen, all right. And he was also a good ten years younger than she, at the very least, which made her reaction to him all the more ridiculous. What was wrong with her, anyway?
"Serious jet lag," she muttered, scrubbing harder at her hair.
Sarah jerked upright, dropping the towel to her neck. Her host stood in the doorway holding two steaming cups.
Oh great. He'd caught her talking to herself, a bad habit that had caused her problems more than once. Heat crawled up her neck and over her face.
"I didn't realize you were back already."
His only response as he moved into the room was a smile. And what a smile. It played slowly around his lips, growing, spreading to his eyes, where it shimmered like polished jet.
The heat on her face ratcheted up a notch.
"I've taken the liberty of adding a touch of honey to yer tea." He set the cups on a low table. "Please, sit yerself down."
Sarah started forward, but stopped, looking down at herself.
"Oh, no. I'd hate to sit on your sofa in these wet clothes. Maybe it would be best if you just direct me to the cottage where I'll be staying."
His smile altered, a look of chagrin passing over his features.
"Well, that needs some explaining, you see." He picked the folded towels up from the floor and spread them on the sofa. "Here. Sit." He held up his hand to stop her when she started to protest. "Sit. Have yer tea and then we'll get you into some dry things."
After carefully arranging herself on the towels, Sarah extended her hand to accept the cup he offered her, acutely aware of his penetrating gaze. Trying desperately to think of something to say to fill the silence, she was horrified to hear herself blurt out the first thing that came to mind.
"You're not at all what I'd pictured." If she got any redder, surely flames would erupt from the top of her head.
"Not what you'd pictured? What were you expecting?" He was smiling again.
"Well, Mr. McCullough, you sounded much older when we spoke on the telephone."
"Ah, well, that explains it then. I'm no Mr. McCullough."
"What?" Had that squeak actually come from her?
He placed a restraining hand on her arm as she started to rise.
"Let me rephrase that. I am Mr. McCullough, just no the one you spoke to. That would be Henry, he's..." He paused for a moment, glancing away from her as he moved his hand from her arm to pick up his cup. "I'm Ian McCullough."
"Oh." That explained why he didn't look at all like the sweet old man she'd imagined Henry McCullough to be. "But you're also a McCullough. You're related?"
"Aye. We're as related as an uncle and nephew can be." He briefly flashed that brilliant smile again.
"Where is your uncle?"
"Henry? Oh, in hospital, actually. Minor knee surgery. He'll be home in a few days. In the meantime, I'm supposed to be looking after things, but I'm afraid I've mucked them up a bit." The smile reappeared. "Starting with knowing nothing about my lovely guest, no even her name."
"Oh." Her conversational skills were rapidly disappearing in his presence. The blush returned. "I'm Sarah. Sarah Douglas."
"Sarah." He repeated the name slowly. "It suits you. Now that we know one another, we've only the problem of the cottage, it seems."
Uh-oh. "My cottage?"
He nodded. "Regrettably, our caretakers were called away on emergency this morning, so the cottage isna prepared for you. With the storm, I dinna think it a huge problem. I was sure you'd stay in the city when you saw the weather. Which reminds me."
His eyebrows lifted in a manner reminiscent of a school principal about to chastise an errant student.
"This is no night to be out on the roads, lass. Did you no think about the risk you were taking by driving here in this tempest?"
His tone implied lecture, not a conversational question. It might even have been offensive if not for his lovely accent. The lightly lilting brogue made everything he said sound good. The brogue and the deep baritone.
"I guess I didn't at the time. But I certainly recognize it now." She put down her tea. "Mr. McCullough -- "
"Ian," he corrected.
"Ian." She briefly made eye contact and smiled. "If the cottage isn't prepared, then..."
"It's no worry. We'll put you up here in the main house for tonight."
He sat back, looking very satisfied, and took a drink of his tea.
"I was under the impression that you didn't rent out rooms here." Henry had been rather emphatic about that point, assuring her there would be no other lodgers.
"We dinna. You'll join us tonight as my guest. We'll get you set up in the cottage tomorrow. Now...," Ian stood and held out his hand in invitation. "Let's get you all settled. When did you eat last?"
"On the plane."
She rose to her feet, clutching the now damp blanket tightly around her. If he'd noticed she'd avoided his hand, he gave no sign of it.
"We'll remedy that right after we get you in some dry clothing." He paused, tipping his head to the side. "Come to think of it, I dinna recall seeing yer auto in the drive."
"It's not exactly in the drive. It's down at the entrance gate." She shrugged. "I sort of slid off the road and got stuck in the mud. I can go back down and get my suitcase."
As they neared the door, thunder rumbled ominously close, rattling windows.
"I'm thinking that's probably no the best idea. In fact, I'm sure we can find you something dry to slip into here. We'll collect yer things and yer vehicle in the morning when the rain's done."
He'd stopped talking so she risked a quick glance up. It appeared he was waiting for that, catching her eyes and once again extending his hand. Perhaps he had noticed her earlier evasion after all.
"Here. Come with me."
There was no chance this time to avoid his touch without seeming unusually rude and she couldn't bring herself to do that. He'd been much too nice.
Simply one hand against another. No way to prevent her unprotected skin from contact with his. No blanket or clothing to filter it through this time. She'd simply have to steel herself against the assault she knew would come with the touch, as it always did.
She'd learned to accept it. From childhood she'd suffered the trauma of absorbing other people's thoughts and emotions when she touched them, and the strange, random "feelings" that assailed her, trying to direct her actions. Almost worse had been the pain of knowing she was "different" from everyone else. She'd accepted that long ago, too.
While her preference was, as always, to escape the unavoidable result, sometimes, like now, it couldn't be helped.
She took his hand.
He scanned the contents of the refrigerator. He knew how to cook eggs. Not well, mind you, but he could cook them. And there was bread. He'd make toast. Surely there was canned fruit of some sort in the pantry. Martha served it with almost every meal.
Under optimal conditions no one would ever mistake him for a chef, but with the current distraction standing in his kitchen, well...
Best to keep it simple.
How was it a woman, any woman, could look so appealing when you dressed her in men's clothing? And if it happens to be an attractive woman, dressed in my own clothing? Without a doubt, anything other than simple would be beyond his abilities at this moment.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"You can have a seat. Yer my guest." He flashed a grin. "I'll have you a tasty meal whipped up in no time."
Ha. "Tasty" was pushing it a bit, but as Henry was fond of accusing, he'd never been an overly modest man.
"Are you warmer now?"
He'd grabbed the first things he'd come to in his drawers; the things he wore to loaf about: sweatpants, thermal undershirt, woolen overshirt and thick cotton socks.
He was positive those items had never looked so appealing on him.
"Much better, thanks." She rewarded him with a shy smile as she padded over to the table and sat down.
Before long, he was setting plates filled with scrambled eggs, toast and canned grapefruit sections on the table. To her credit, she gave it only one small dubious glance before sampling a bite.
"You don't do a lot of cooking, do you?"
So, a diplomatic woman.
"Is it as bad as that?"
"No, not at all. It's just that you appeared to be hunting for things in the kitchen while you were fixing this."
Observant, as well.
"And here I was afraid it would be the rubber eggs that gave me away."
"Actually, the burned toast was more of a tip-off than the eggs."
Even a sense of humor.
He grinned at her and was rewarded with a quiet laugh and another blush softly coloring her cheeks.
Simply charming.
"So, how did you come to choose our little cottage for yer holiday?"
"Working holiday," she corrected. "My three months will fly by, I'm afraid. And as to this location, I chose by sheer, blind luck. Once I knew I had to come to Scotland..."
She paused, her eyes flickering up to meet his, betraying mild alarm, as if she'd said something she hadn't intended, before she hurried on.
"I...uh, I sat down at the computer and searched. Heather Cottage was the first entry that came up. I know this sounds stupid, but when I clicked on the site and read about it, it just felt right." She shrugged without looking up. "So I emailed Mr. McCullough -- Henry -- and he called me, and here I am."
"What kind of work are you here to do?"
"I write." A furtive glance up.
"Ah, a storyteller. And what do you write?"
"Uh, women's literature. Pretty much." Another quick, furtive glance.
"Hmmmm. I dinna believe I'm familiar with that."
"Really?" As a deep crimson stain slowly crept across her face, she rose and carried her plate to the sink. "At least I can help wash up."
So, her work was something she did not want to discuss. A most intriguing woman indeed. Too bad he didn't have time or room for a woman in his life.
They finished the dishes with relatively little talk, her weariness a tangible thing to him. His goal was to show her to the guest room as quickly as possible.
Their walk to the stairs was interrupted by an enormous boom of thunder, accompanied by a flash of lightning so close he could feel the hairs on his arm lift. Followed immediately by every light in the house going out. He'd known it was only a matter of time.
Sarah's gasp was audible.
Standing so close to her, he fully expected she would throw her arms around him, or lean into him at the very least.
In his experience, which was extensive, frightened women always turned to the closest man for comfort and protection. Particularly when he was the closest man.
It wasn't conceit, simply an observation. He was well aware of the effect he had on women. He'd certainly had long enough to get used to it. After all, he'd met a goodly number of women in the past six hundred years.
But she didn't do either of those things.
In fact, as his eyes quickly adjusted, he saw that she stood as she first had in the hallway, huddled into herself, her arms wrapped about her own middle.
"Dinna be afraid. It's only the electric." He touched her shoulder and she flinched.
"I...I'm not afraid. Just startled."
But not completely truthful? He could sense the fear rolling off her in waves.
"Well, maybe a tiny bit afraid," she amended in a whisper.
Ah, that's better.
He guided her into the library, where the fire afforded them a modest light.
"Have a seat and I'll go find a torch for you to take upstairs."
"Aye. A hand light. You put batteries into it?"
Recognition dawned on her face. "Oh, a flashlight."
"No, a torch." He grinned. "One day you Yanks will have to learn to speak proper English."
When he returned with the torch, having spent a good ten minutes hunting in the dark for fresh batteries for the thing, she was fast asleep, slumped over sideways into the corner of the sofa, her feet still on the floor.
What to do? He could wake her, a choice that seemed patently unkind. Or he could easily pick her up and carry her to the guest room. And, although his arms fairly itched for the opportunity to hold her, chances were good she'd wake, again not the result he wanted. Best to let her sleep where she lay. No chance of waking her, with the added benefit that he could sit and watch her as long as he wanted to.
And he found that he wanted to.
Very gently he lifted her legs to the sofa so she could stretch out her full, what, maybe five and a half feet at most? He reached for the woolen plaid folded over the back of his chair, and draped it over her sleeping form, tucking it around her shoulders. It outlined rather than hid her soft curves.
She moaned and snuggled into it.
Ian crossed the room and reached into a recessed cabinet to withdraw a bottle of his favorite whisky.
Full glass in hand, he sank into his chair and propped up his feet, savoring a swallow before turning his attention to study the woman on his sofa.
Even in sleep her features reflected uneasiness, a tiny frown fixed on her brow. Soft golden curls, too short to do more than barely brush her shoulders, wildly framed a delicate face. Smile lines around her eyes hinted of a woman who looked for the good in life and also of a maturity. He'd guess her to be in her early- to mid-thirties, perhaps not a classic beauty, but a very attractive woman in her prime nevertheless.
Certainly she was attractive to him. From that first astonishing glimpse of her soul, to her unexpected behavior, right down to the way she looked lying on his sofa, covered with his own plaid, he was drawn to her.
His instincts, however, screamed that there was much more to this woman than met the eye.
He hadn't missed her flinch each time he'd touched her, or how she'd tried to avoid taking his hand. Nor had he missed her look of resignation when she finally had. Perhaps more to the point, he'd seen the surprise that had flashed through her eyes at that moment, as if she'd expected some inevitable something that hadn't come.
He took another drink of his whisky, savoring the warmth that flowed down his throat.
"Just what were you expecting, wee Sarah?" he whispered before draining the glass.
Hunting the answer to that question would, at the very least, give him some distraction while he waited for Henry to come home.
Waited to return to what really mattered, protecting Mortal men from those of his kind who would destroy them all.

Sara Douglas a romance novelist come to Scotland hoping to overcome her writer's block and come to terms with her special ability to sense the emotions of everyone she touches.
Ian McCullough is a half-mortal Fae and a Guardian for more then six hundred years.
When Ian meets Sara, he can literally "see her soul" looking out at him.
The romance and sensual undertones kept this romance story snapping. Loved the interaction with the other Faeries and Ian's well meaning friends and relatives.
Future novels with Dallyn and Ramos are promising and highly recommended. Thanks Melissa Mayhue for writing a lovely book. When I finished it today, I thought "can't wait for the next one".
WOW!! I loved this book. Her debut book, THIRTY NIGHTS, was awesome, but I think this book really shows Mayhue¿s range. Whether writing time travel or contemporary, Mayhue really knows how to write a compelling, un-put-down-able romance. You can find summaries elsewhere, so I¿ll dive into how this book rocked. I really loved the fabulous world she built in this book 'intertwining a mature faerie culture into modern times' and the hints of future books to come. I also loved the depth of character she infused in both her hero and heroine and the twist she put on the older woman/younger man plot¿you¿ll have to read it to find out what I mean. And then there is the amazing supporting cast. I can¿t wait for some of their stories. This was definitely a keeper for me I¿m eagerly awaiting her next novel.
I skipped this book because of a previous poor review but after finishing the other 7 books and loving them I went back and got this 2nd book. Great story and if your like me and read entire series this book helps move important characters into the proper evolution of the series. Don't miss it!

Well written book
SARAH DOUGLAS is a successful thirty-eight year old romance novelist with big problems. She's come to Scotland on a three month working vacation hoping to recapture her muse - who's deserted her - and resolve the issue of her strange 'feelings' - the ones which allow her to sense the emotions of everyone she touches. From the moment she arrives, however, her problems only intensify. She's being stalked, but by whom? Is he real or only a figment of her imagination? What about the darkly handsome owner of the cottage she's leasing? How is she ever going to deal with her growing attraction to a man ten years her junior? She knows from bitter experience men - particularly men who look like Ian - aren't interested in women like her. IAN MCCULLOUGH is neck-deep in troubles of his own. As a half-mortal descendent of Faeries, he's a Guardian, sworn to protect both the mortals of this world and the Portals leading to the Faerie Realm. After six hundred years, he's confident he knows what to expect in just about every situation and exactly how to handle it. But he never counted on a woman like Sarah showing up in his life; a woman who intrigues and charms him. A woman who turns out to be of Faerie descent herself, although she has no idea of her heritage and no belief in any Otherworld beings. When he's assigned to protect her, Ian finds the job is tougher than he could possibly have imagined. Oh, he can handle the stalker and the ex-husband and even the renegade Faeries trying to kidnap her for their own purpose. It's falling in love and forsaking his status as Guardian, a position he swore to honor at his father's deathbed, he's having trouble with. Both Sarah and Ian struggle to battle the demons of self-doubt and their individual pasts.

Sarah escapes to Scotland to stimulate her muse and get back into writing her books, she chooses to ignore the fact that something else is drawing her there as well. Ian doesn't have the time to be bothered being babysitter to the new "American" arrival at his friend's summer cottage, but upon their first meeting - things drastically change. Now Ian is torn between duty and love while Sarah must make some startling acceptances herself before the Fairy portal is revealed and all ciaos ensues. I like this series! It's easy to read, fun and sassy, plus the characters are enjoyable overall. Ian and Sarah were very realistic and their relationship together just kept getting better and better. The story wasn't cheesy and their romance didn't feel rushed and/or pushed as many similar tales can be. Don't expect a lot of in-depth story development, but if you want something to read after a long day at work - this is a great series to get into. The author opened up the character field a lot within Highland Guardian, so many of the future books in the series can really go all over the place now - which excites me since Soul of the Highlander is up next in my TBR pile. Plus, it was nice to get a glimpse of Cate and Conner from the first book in the series. Likes: Yayy! Scotland - I'm all about books set in Scotland since my trip there is in 42 days and counting . . . Dislikes: The whole plot build up toward the end kind of fizzled out for me and wasn't as climatic as I would have liked. Plus, I'm noticing a similar trait within the female cha
Awesome series

This layout has existed at Keldur since the middle ages. In addition to the farmhouse buildings and the church, other structures include storehouses, a smithy, a millhouse, a cattleshed, a stable, a sheep corral, a tunnel, etc. Like other turf buildings, these have often been rebuilt. They were built in their present form following major earthquakes in 1896 and 1912. The farmstead is built from lava rock from nearby Mt. Hekla, which is in plentiful supply around the farm, together with driftwood from Landeyjarsandur, where Keldur owned rights to that resource. Driftwood was an important source of timber for construction.Since the mid-20th century the farmhouse has been a part of The National Museum Building Collection, and has been maintained as such.
Keldur is well known in Icelandic history. According to the Njálssaga, it was the home of Ingjaldur Höskuldsson. In the 12-13th century Keldur was an important manor owned by the powerful Oddi clan, and their chieftain, Jón Loftsson (d. 1197) lived there at the end of his life.
Sand drift has long been a problem in this area, and efforts to combat the encroachment were at their height in the late 19th century. Protective barriers were built, which can still be seen today. On the Keldur estate are remains of 16-18 farmsteads, including Sandgil and Tröllaskógur which play a part in the Njálssaga.
Guðmundur Brynjólfsson (1794–1883), who farmed at Keldur for fifty years, made extensive improvements to the buildings. In his time three new structures were added to the east of the pantry. Skúli Guðmundsson (1862–1946), one of Guðmundur's 25 children, was the last person to live in the old farmhouse. He understood the historical importance of the buildings, and collected a large amount of information about them. In 1942 the old farmhouse was purchased by the National Museum of Iceland, while Skúli continued to live there until his death in 1946. After Skúli's time, various objects which had been preserved at Keldur were also purchased by the Museum.
The farmhouse is now part of the National Museum Historic Buildings Collection.

|Grapes are de-stemmed and undergo fermentation at 86°F. The grapes then goes through a 27-day maceration period with light pumping over, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wines age for 28 months in oak (80% American and 20% French) and spend 36 months aging in the bottle before they are released, for a total ageing of 64 months.

Wednesday, July 24, 2013
Josh McElwee has traveled more than 6,000 miles in the last four months to return to South Carolina to play minor league baseball.
The 2007 Andrews High School graduate was drafted by the Texas Rangers in June 2012, a month after graduating from Newberry College. After a stint with Spokane (Wash.) Indians, he finished the 2012 season with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
"Last year was a lot of feeling my way through it and figuring out how it works and trying to see what I needed to do to try and improve and not really knowing where I needed to be and what I needed to do," McElwee said.
He started this season with the Hickory (N.C.) Crawdads and struggled for about a month.
"I got a little mixed up in spring training," McElwee said. "My feel wasn't there. I wasn't feeling right. My fastball wasn't the same. It was same velocity, it just wasn't coming out the same. I got hit around pretty good."
McElwee left the Crawdads and returned to the Rangers' spring training facility in Arizona to work with the pitching coaches there.
"I worked with those guys, they got me back right," McElwee said
McElwee then went to Spokane for about three weeks before being sent to Myrtle Beach.
"I pitched well there, everything felt like it was back to normal and now I'm here," he said. "It's nice to back. I feel better. Things are looking good."
He's happy to be less than an hour from his family and friends in Andrews.
"It's awesome playing here in Myrtle Beach. I get a good turnout just about every night. Friends and family come to the game. … I'm really grateful and thankful that everyone's coming out and watching me. The first time I pitched at home this year, people I hadn't seen in years happened to be here because of International Paper night and they saw me out there. They probably didn't even know I was on the team."
On days when there is a night game that starts at 7 p.m., McElwee arrives at the park around 2 and is stretching, running and throwing on the field by 3. The Pelicans take batting practice at 4 p.m. and pitchers patrol the outfield shagging fly balls.
Dinner starts around 5:15 p.m., and then McElwee showers and puts his uniform on.
"When I get out of the shower it's time to strap it on and get ready," he said.
The entire team is out on the field for warmups by 6:30 p.m., and lined up along the baseline for the National Anthem at 7.
As a relief pitcher, McElwee sometimes spends hours in the bullpen before he sees any action. At the Pelicans' home field there is a deck situated above the bullpen in right field where the relievers can sit and watch the game.
"You've always got to be ready down there because if one day [the manager] calls and you're not fully ready mentally and physically, you get out there and it shows," McElwee said. "It's hard to hide that."
The Pelicans have 13 pitchers on the roster, five starters and eight relievers.
When McElwee was drafted he was told he would be a reliever. It was an adjustment for him after being a starter in high school and college.
"Your body has to get used to getting ready quicker," McElwee said. "The phone rings and you could be in the game in five minutes. You've just got to kind of have a feel for how many days it's been since you pitched, or if you're on the list to pitch [that] night."
After a rough start to the season, McElwee's goal is to finish strong.
"I started out shaky, but I made some adjustments and I want to finish strong," he said. "I don't have any goals … like, I want to move up or I want to be in the big leagues or anything like that."
It's a "what have you done for me lately?" world, McElwee added.
"If you pitch really bad at the beginning of the season they don't really remember that when you're pitching really good at the end. Or vice versa. You always want to finish strong to give them something to think about in the offseason when they're making changes."
As a little boy, McElwee dreamed about being a professional baseball player and making "millions and millions of dollars" and not having any worries. The reality is a little different, so far.
"It's a job now," he said. "The game changes a little bit, but if you let it change a whole lot on you and it becomes a real job and you don't enjoy coming out here then that's when people start falling off. I try to enjoy it every day and I'm thankful to be out here."
But he still loves it.
"I love playing baseball every day. It's the best job in the world. You can't beat it."

Missouri Town Rallies Around Cancer Stricken Child By Taking the "Cold Water Challenge" (Video)
For the past few days, I've seen my Facebook news feed filled with one video after another of local Tarkio residents jumping in the closest body of water they could find. Before they would jump, they would challenge three people to do the same.
Here are a few examples:
What is this about?
It actually started as a personal challenge, but quickly turned into a way a town could rally around a cancer stricken baby named Landon Shaw.
As the Facebook page for the effort explains:
This page is to raise awareness for Baby Landon Shaw. He is a young baby fighting cancer. Landon and his family need prayers. Also donations to Landon's family can be turned in at the Flower Mill in Tarkio Missouri. You can mail checks written to Landon Shaw to Flower Mill, 606 Main Street, Tarkio Mo, 64491. The idea is you plunge into cold water and challenge at least 3 people. You then say you will donate X amount of dollars for each who jumps within 24 HOURS! Remember you do not have to be challenged you can start the challenge without being challenged just find cold water within 24 HOURS! Thanks to all who have been raising awareness. Please share this page to those you know who have plunged for Landon! The family loves seeing the videos! When you share your video please change the privacy settings so that the family can see it. God Bless you all! KEEP PRAYING FOR LANDON!!
The Facebook page is one plunge after another, not only from Tarkio, but from other towns and other states.
Just to name some, I have heard of lots in Nodaway County, Liberty, Kansas City, Columbia, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA and so MANY more!!! This is so wonderful and GOD is GOOD!!
If you want to support Landon Shaw, you don't need wait to be challenged. You can make your own video.
Or, if you don't want to take the cold water challenge, you could help by sending any donations to:
Landon Shaw and the Flower Mill
606 Main Street
Tarkio, MO 64491

Nasoya Firm tofu is just a little softer and more tender than the Extra Firm which makes it... more
Garden Tofu Scramble
- 1 pkg Nasoya® Firm tofu, patted dry
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 6 button mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup carrots, grated
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp turmeric
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 tomato, diced
Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium high heat. Once oil is hot add the garlic and onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and carrots and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add the tofu into the pan crumble it into small pieces using a spatula. Sprinkle salt and turmeric evenly over the scramble. Turmeric not only adds to the flavor but it will also make the tofu look like eggs!
Heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend well. During this time the tofu can be broken into smaller pieces to resemble the consistency of scrambled eggs. Mix in the spinach and tomato and heat until spinach is just wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and enjoy!

Dual-comb spectroscopy is extended to the visible spectral range with two short-pulse frequency-doubled free-running ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. When the spectrum is shifted to other domains by nonlinear frequency conversion, tracking the relative fluctuations of the femtosecond oscillators at their fundamental wavelength automatically produces the correction signal needed for the recording of distortion-free spectra. The dense rovibronic spectrum of iodine around is recorded within 12 ms at Doppler-limited resolution.
