Elibhe “Elly” Francis-Thrift (formally the superhero Jammer) is super strong when she’s in pain, which makes her a C-lister by necessity. Despite being too vulnerable at the start of a fight to wade in, Elly never gives up, which is probably the attribute that’s got her into the most trouble at the start of Starfall. At 29, freshly widowed, Elly just became the prime suspect in her husband’s brutal murder. Running from arrest doesn’t help much, but how else is she going to clear her name when…

Salt and Caramel, on their own they are just flavors for the human taste pallet. However, if you put the two flavors together the contrast heightens each one making two plain flavors come alive with body and savory substance.

The big mouthed shad is one of those species, which relies on Maine rivers for its lifecycle. The FWS and NMFS have completed a status review and have decided, against contrary data, that the fish should not be listed. Much like the spotted owl case (NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL v.…

Things went perfectly and after an hour Maela found herself guarding the entrance to Harvest House. The moment the other guard passed around the corner and out of sight as he headed for the rear of the building, Maela walked up to the entrance and entered the courtyard. There was a single guard in the courtyard, and Maela noticed several guards on the wall. They were obviously familiar with Teal, however, and they didn’t give Maela a second glance as she walked up to the main doors. She had a…

If you are a zealous fan of “When Calls the Heart,” you may have seen the hashtag #HickamsHearties and marveled about the man who plays this docile but stalwart character. Seriously, I didn’t even fully notice Hickam until this season. It was with great joy that I discovered the dashing man who breathes life into this small but integral character--Ben Rosenbaum. He has been incredibly supportive of my work this season, and I was so honored when he took some time from his busy schedule to answer…
