Last fall I planted about 24 red drawin tulip bulbs in a bed right in front of my front path/door. They were so glorious! After they had finished blooming, I planted sweet potatoes vine among them for fear of disrupting the bulbs with any bigger clumps of deeper rooted perrenials.
Fortunately, there is room behind the tulips bulbs for my peonies, black eyes susans, dephinium, etc. Question #1:Can I scatter some perennials (daylilies or sedum for example) among the tulip bulbs? Question #2: How has your second year of drawin tulips blooms been? It killed me to wait as long as I did to cut the folaige back and I must admit, only a few were yellow. |

I don`t see anything wrong with them being inter-mixed. Actually, I think it would be better than annuals in there, as when you pull up the annuals, you will disrupt the bulbs. Also, the perennials will hide the foliage, giving the tulips lots of time to die back naturally. Nancy. |
If you plant the tulips deeply, there's no problem planting perennials with them - you can plant them right over the bulbs and let the bulbs come up through the perennials. I do that all the time. Darwin Hybrids are pretty reliable naturalizers because they are a cross with Fosteriana tulips, which are one of the most reliable naturalizing tulips. One of my favorite tulip combinations that has come back for years and years and multiplies nicely is Ivory Floradale (very early - starts off a creamy yellow and fades to ivory white), Queen of the Night (a 'black' tulip) and Angelique (double pale pink that looks like a peony and grows beautifully with peonies. The peonies hide the dying foliage and the tulips look great with the emerging peony foliage - it looks like the peonies are blooming very early...) If you want the tulips to have the best chance of returning, plant them as deep as you can and you must let the tulip foliage die completely back to the point where you can remove it with only a gentle tug on the foliage. If you plant perennials on top and later accidentally dig the tulips up when dividing or moving the perennials, don't worry about it - just put the tulips back in the bottom of the hole, pointy end up, and plant over them again or fill the hole with soils. This picture shows the three I mentioned: And this one shows the Ivory Floradale in its earlier yellow stage, combined with Turkestantica botanical tulips. |

I understand that it is a violation of FCRA for a creditor to continue to report regularly a debt discharged through BK. I went over my report again and found just one - Target - that was discharged in 2006, still reporting monthly. Although it says 0 balance, and status is discharged through BK, and the date of status is 5/2006. However, under last reported, it says 9/2012.
Does this have any impact on my score? If it does, then I want to notify them that they are to cease and desist reporting this monthly. If not, then I won't bother.
Nope, just updated. Nothing changes. It doesn't matter when it's updated.
Okay, thanks! I won't bother it then.

I saw the Shiloh cabinets in person today - people like them so much on this site - and I really do like them. I saw the Square Flat, Homestead, Heritage and Richmond styles. Polar white seems to be the one on display. I'm thinking square flat with beaded inset - also liked the richmond with plain inset. Does anyone like theirs? I see a lot of pictures doing a search but many refer to them as inset cabinets and don't specify which types they are. TIA! |

So, turns out that bankrolling a football club to the tune of seven zillion petrodollars doesn't just buy you Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and, er, James Milner, as CVG found out last week when we travelled to the Etihad Stadium in (surprisingly sunny) Manchester on Champions League night.
The oil-funded mega-wallets at Manchester City - alongside their "official gaming partner" EA Sports - have turned the traditional idea of corporate hospitality on its head with its really rather brilliant Platinum Gaming Box. It's a regular, eight-foot-by-eleven-foot 'entertainment space', but instead of tables, chairs and a bunch of trumped-up suits talking about quantitive easing and how many miles their Range Rovers do to the gallon, it's got four bum-pleasing leather gaming seats, a 42" TV, shelves full of EA games, and FIFA 13 on constantly.
Oh, and your own personal chef making posh cheeseburgers.
What makes it even better than all that, though - especially if you're from the blue half of Manchester - is that it's literally feet away from spankingly good seats in the middle tier at the Etihad. Think about it: you can play four-player FIFA 13 right up until kick off, step outside for the first half, return for a half-time rematch, take in the second half, then blam your way through even more games once the final whistle goes. Combo it with the day your team visits Mancunia and it'll be like Christmas come early! Unless you get hammered 5-0, obviously.
Luckily, there was no danger of any one-sidedness when Borussia Dortmund came to town. In fact, the Germans utterly embarrassed Mancini's men for 90 minutes with brilliant one-touch football, backed by fans louder than the noise from a space shuttle launch. Equally luckily, Dortmund replaced striker Robert Lewandowski with a work experience kid who looked exactly like him, and the Mancs had Superman in goal, so the game somehow ended up 1-1. Highlight of the night, though, was when we bumped into heavy-of-pocket Man City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak (CVG review: very well dressed, extremely polite) who was showing his equally minted mates around the EA Sports box just before we got there.
Question is, then, how much will an afternoon (or evening) of footballicious luxury set you back? Well, we were told by the team at the stadium that prices start from £300pp plus VAT, although you can expect that to rise depending on the opposition - you definitely won't be paying 300 notes for a Manchester derby. (In fact, we couldn't get anyone at the club to tell us exactly how much a blue-vs-red grudge match came to, which suggests the cost could be pretty tasty when it turns up in your end-of-month credit card statement.) As well as wall-to-wall FIFA 13, Man City also throw in a dedicated waiter or waitress, stadium parking, room for you and up to 10 mates, and "exclusive EA content", which amounts to an "in-game retro kit reveal, Man City FIFA 13 edition and City players leaderboard." And - bonus! - the seats in the stadium are proper comfy too.
Our take? It was a ton of fun, and we love the idea of playing FIFA 13 before, during and after an actual game of football. It's also something different from the slightly staid, prawn-sandwich-eating image of regular corporate hospitality. The only issue could be the price: does the common gamer (and friends) have upwards of three grand to drop for an afternoon's entertainment?
Despite that, as a matchday experience, it's pretty unique, and - for now - totally unrivalled.

Can victims legally chase down hit-and-run drivers?
The cause: A hit-and-run victim was in pursuit of the alleged culprit, prompting the alleged hit-and-run driver to drive recklessly and plow into another vehicle, the California Highway Patrol said.
The chain of events started when 20-year-old Angela Martinez allegedly sideswiped a vehicle while exiting southbound Hwy. 99 at Panama Lane. Officers said the alleged victim followed Martinez as she re-entered the highway going north.
Martinez reached speeds of up to 80 miles per hour trying to get away from the hit-and-run victim according to CHP investigators and eventually made an effort to exit at White Lane. But Martinez was traveling too fast, hit a curb, went airborne and slammed head-on into a bystander's car.
Both vehicles had major damage. Rashida Robertson, who was driving the bystander car, was taken to a hospital with major injuries. Martinez and a passenger were hospitalized with moderate injuries.
Eyewitness News spoke to police and attorney David Cohn about what liability a hit-and-run victim could face while trying to chase down the responsible party.
Both police and the attorney said it's not illegal to follow the hit-and-run driver if the victim drives safely and obeys traffic laws, but they advised victims to instead snap a photo, take note of the license plate number and call 911. They said leaving the pursuit to the police is a better option.

Raspberries: I've grown Fall Gold and Heritage. They really didn't do well in the heat and humidity. I've heard good things about Southland. Blackberries: I've grown Arapaho, Apache and Triple Crown and all did very well although the Triple Crown was hands down the favorite of the june bugs and japanese beetles. The Arapaho was my favorite and was relatively untouched by pests. At the new place, I chose Ouachita, which is a relatively new variety and another one from the U of Arkansas. It's too soon for me to say how well it's doing in this area, but it survived winter with leaves intact. http://www.aragriculture.org/horticulture/fruits_nuts/Blackberries/default.htm#Arkansas Varieties |

I was wondering if anyone had some ideas for activities for a family reunion. It is a cousins reunion with mostly older people in their 70's and 80's. There will be some in between the ages of 40-60 also but not as many.

We have a family reunion every year. We usually have games for the kids, but we also have some activities for the older family members. One year, we have everyone bring a baby picture. We mounted them on a display board and had a "guess who" contest. We usually have bingo, because that is popular with our crowd. Probably the most popular thing that we have done is to have everyone bring two or three of their favorite recipes to the reunion with a short (1-2 sentences) explination of why the recipe is a favorite. Then, I took all of them and typed them and put them in 3 ring binders so that everyone would have a "family" cookbook. The grossest thing we ever did was when my 80+ grandmother started a guess-how-many-flies-will-land-on-the-flystrip contest. She charged everyone $1 per guess with the winner getting the money. My family is full of gamblers who will be on ANYTHHING. I would not suggest this, but it is a funny memory that I have of my grandmother. |

Cremation is a decision that provides as many commemorative choices as traditional burial. From burial at a cemetery to scattering of the ashes at a favorite site; from a simple ceremony at a favorite place of the deceased to an elaborate church memorial service - these are among the options available. With cremation, all of these are easily arranged by the family or friends. Our modern crematorium means peace of mind, convenience and reasonable cost.
This is why about 500 families have used our service in our 10 years of operation.
A long-time local family is helping the community in a new way. Bill and Mary Helen Spoja have spent most of their lives in this area. This is why they opened the Central Montana Crematorium in October of 2003. More and more people are looking at Cremation because of the simplicity, ease for the family, and reasonable cost. The owners know that not all persons wish to use cremation and this choice is respected.
It is available if that choice is made. Manager Paul Huff says, "we hope to be a help to the local mortuaries in making cremation available to our local families. The crematorium is fully licensed and equipped. It operates out of a new building east of Lewistown. Its employees were trained in one of the largest crematories in southern California. We are fully prepared to give quality service to the people of this area."
Central Montana Crematorium will be suspending its operations at the close of business on December 3rd. We sincerely hope to re-open on December 16, following the scheduled meeting of the Funeral Board. We regret any inconvenience to our friends and neighbors.
Central Montana Crematorium 100 Cattail Drive, P.O. Box 882 Lewistown, Montana 59457 Phone: (406) 538-4400 Fax: (406) 538-4401 E-mail: email@example.com Member: C.A.N.A.

Windows Antivirus Release Removal GuideBy Lawrence Abrams on August 8, 2012 @ 07:51 PM | Read 18,333 times.Windows Antivirus Release is a rogue anti-spyware program from the Rogue.FakeVimes family of computer infections. This program is classified as a rogue because it purposely displays false scan results, fake security warnings, and hijacks your computer so that you are not able to launch your normal Windows applications. It does all this to make you think that there is a severe problem with your computer in the hopes that you will then purchase the program in order to fix it.
When Windows Antivirus Release is started it will create hundreds of Windows Registry settings that make it so you are unable to launch a variety of security programs and Windows utilities. It does this so that you are unable to use these programs to help in the removal of the infection. Once started it will perform a scan of your computer and state that there are numerous infections present. If you attempt to use the program to clean your computer, though, it will first prompt you to purchase it before being allowed to do so. As this program is a scam, please ignore any prompts to purchase it and just close the program. While the program is running it will also display fake security warnings from your Windows taskbar. These warnings contain messages that state your computer is compromised or that your privacy is at risk. Some of the messages you may see include: Just like the scan results, all of these fake security alerts should be ignored. As you can see, Windows Antivirus Release was created to scam you into purchasing the program. With this said, for no reason should you purchase this program, and if you have, you should contact your credit card company to dispute the charges stating that the program is a scam and a computer virus. To remove Windows Antivirus Release and related malware, please follow the steps in the removal guide below. Threat Classification: Advanced information: View Windows Antivirus Release files. Tools Needed for this fix: Symptoms that may be in a HijackThis Log: O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Inspector] %AppData%\Protector-<random 3 chars>.exe Guide Updates: 08/08/12 - Initial guide creation. Automated Removal Instructions for Windows Antivirus Release using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

Cocaine Usage Contributes to Ketoacidosis
In a report that was published in the September 14 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, it was revealed that people with diabetes who use cocaine increase their risk of developing ketoacidosis.
"It is well known that during binge use, cocaine users may neglect various personal needs," said one investigator of the study. "In addition to increasing the risk of missing insulin doses, patients with diabetes who use cocaine may have increased levels of other hormones that may precipitate ketoacidosis."

Tae Seok Moon became a professor in the Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis in July 2012.
Professor Moon completed his postdoctoral fellowship in the Voigt Group, in the Department of Biological Engineering & SynBio Center at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and jointly, in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at University of California-San Francisco.
Professor Moon's research goals are directed toward creating programmable cells that process multiple input signals and produce desirable outputs for real-world applications. Specifically, he aims to build synthetic gene circuits in order to control and improve metabolic pathways for the production of biomass-based chemicals and drugs.
His postdoctoral research at MIT and University of California-San Francisco provided him with expertise in the design and construction of genetic circuits. As a graduate student at MIT, he learned how to construct and optimize novel metabolic pathways to produce biochemicals that can replace oil-based chemicals. Combining his research experiences with more than five years experience in the biotechnology industry, he envisions his career as transforming biology research from an "observation" approach to a "synthesis-based engineering" activity to address energy, environment and health issues.

Health Care Provider Taxonomy Code Set
From www.wpc-edi.com/codes/taxonomy
The Health Care Provider Taxonomy code set is a collection of unique alphanumeric codes, ten characters in length. The code set is structured into three distinct "Levels" including Provider Type, Classification, and Area of Specialization.
The Health Care Provider Taxonomy code set allows a single provider (individual, group, or institution) to identify their specialty category. Providers may have one or more than one value associated to them. When determining what value or valuess to associate with a provider, the user needs to review the requirements of the trading partner with which the value(s) are being used.
Level I, Provider Type A major grouping of service(s) or occupation(s) of health care providers. For example: Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians, Dental Providers, Hospitals, etc.
Level II, Classification A more specific service or occupation related to the Provider Type. For example, the Classification for Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians is based upon the General Specialty Certificates as issued by the appropriate national boards. The following boards will however, have their general certificates appear as Level III areas of specialization strictly due to display limitations of the code set: Medical Genetics, Preventive Medicine, Psychiatry & Neurology, Radiology, Surgery, Otolaryngology, Pathology.
Level III, Area of Specialization A more specialized area of the Classification in which a provider chooses to practice or make services available. For example, the Area of Specialization for provider type Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians is based upon the Subspecialty Certificates as issued by the appropriate national boards.
The Health Care Provider Taxonomy code set Levels are organized to allow for drilling down to the provider's most specific level of specialization. The ten digit codes for each provider category are unique and contain no embedded logic. The codes and categories are to be used exactly as they are assigned in the Taxonomy list. At no time should codes be separated to form new codes. See "How do I request a change?" if you identify a need for a provider category.

So, Everyones heard about the Trayvon Martin shooting by now right?
- My boyfriend (Read: fairly typical middle-class-white-male, we shall call him John), has been following this case closely over the past few days. And I hadn't realized just how shaken up he was by the whole thing until he relayed his concerns to me this morning.
We've recently begun to take the possibility of children in our future into consideration. And the aspect that concerns him most (as has been brought to light by this recent shooting) is that if we had a child who was clearly black (I'm mixed myself, but don't actually look black. I don't look like any particular "race" so I've never had much experience with blatant racism) he wouldn't know how to protect him. He understands more and more as time goes on that he has no concept of the world his 'hypothetical black son' would be living in.
Because John was brought up in a world of the privileged-white-male that is taken for granted when you're IN it, because he has no way to 'opt-out' of it and learn what it will be like to survive in the life of a member of some minority or other, he is concerned that he could accidentally teach this hypothetical black child something that would hurt him.
The shooting is an example of exactly one of those things that John is concerned he could have been responsible for. Common sense in 'his world' is if you control which environments your in, you can ensure your own safety. Always. Period. If you Don't go to the bad neighborhoods where you live you can avoid dangers. This is exactly what Trayvon did. He cut through a safe, middle-class, gated community on his way home from the convenience store when he was shot. Was he in a hurry? Was he avoiding a patch of bad neighborhood? I don't know why he did it. there was nothing wrong with what he did... but he died for it. because he was the wrong color on the wrong night.
John keeps looking to me with these concerns, but I don't have any answers to offer him. So Gaia, I turn to you. What would you say to someone whose looking at the possibility of raising a child who lives in a different world than they do because they look different? What do you think of this shooting? What do you think of interracial relationships or what is your unique experience with race? Parents, what is your experience? What is your Advice? Where would you go to help someone educate themselves on minority issues? Just hop in and talk. Speak your mind. Troll. Do what you do gaia.
tldr; White men and their black kids. Interracial kids: what do?

by Tristi Pinkston
Product Description
When Ida Mae Babbitt receives an invitation to visit her son Keith's dude ranch in Montana, she's excited to mend their broken relationship, but not so excited about spending time with cows. Arlette and Tansy go along with her, ready to take a vacation that does not involve dead bodies or mysteries of any sort - one must have a break from time to time. But it seems a no-good scoundrel has moseyed into Dodge City and is bent on causing all sorts of trouble for the ranch. Unable to keep her curiosity in check - especially when it seems her own son is the most likely culprit - Ida Mae decides to investigate. Can she lasso the varmint and get him to the sheriff in time?

About the Author
TRISTI PINKSTON now has twenty-five books published in a wide variety of genres, but that doesn't mean she's slowing down—her love of writing is as strong as ever. She is the mother of four amazing children, the wife of one fantastic husband, and the taker of very, very long naps. When she's not writing or editing, she enjoys watching good movies, and she admits a certain fascination with shows like Project Runway and Dancing with the Stars. She also enjoys scrapbooking, but finds she doesn't have as much time to do that as she'd like.
Tristi sits on the board of directors of iWriteNetwork. She also works as a freelance editor and author mentor, and she is a regular presenter at writers conferences up and down the Wasatch Front. You can learn more about Tristi and her books by visiting her website at www.tristipinkston.com and her blog at www.tristipinkston.blogspot.com.
Chapter One
"So, what do you hear from George these days?"
Ida Mae was not misled by Arlette's seemingly innocent tone. She knew her friend was pumping her for information about her love life—if you could call what she had a love life—and wouldn't give up until all the goods were dished. She might as well just get it over with and save an entire afternoon's reenactment of the Spanish Inquisition.
"He's recovering from his surgery really well. He'll be on a walker for probably another week, and then he should be back to normal."
"As normal as you can get for a man his age, I presume."
"Arlette, he's not that much older than us."
"Than you, you mean. I've seen your driver's license. I know you've got a few years on me."
"But it's not as many years as you'd like to believe."
Ida Mae heard the squeak of her mailbox being opened, then closed again. She turned from her spot on the couch to look outside. The sidewalk was still clear from the thorough scraping the elders quorum had given it the night before—thankfully, no fresh snow had fallen.
"I'll get the mail." She grabbed her coat from the stand by the door and stepped outside, breathing deeply as the air hit her lungs. It was a beautiful afternoon, the cold spell taking a break, apparently.
She gathered up the mail without really looking at it, just giving it a quick perusal to see if her latest movie from Netflix had arrived. No, not yet. "Feels good outside," she said as she rehung her coat.
"I even turned down my thermostat," Arlette replied. "A whole five degrees."
Ida Mae resumed her seat and began to sort the mail. Junk . . . junk . . . an ad for a Chinese restaurant that didn't deliver out to Omni, but continued to waste their advertising dollars sending flyers all this way . . . and a letter with an unfamiliar return address in Montana. She ripped it open, wondering who would take the time to write in this day and age of e-mail. Personal letters were almost relics anymore.
She scanned the lines, backed up, and read them more carefully. "I can't believe it." She shook her head. "I just can't believe it."
"What's the matter, Ida Mae?" Arlette looked up from the bookmark she was tatting.
"It's a letter from my son, Keith."
Arlette immediately put her project to the side. "You haven't heard from him in years."
"He's inviting me to come for a visit." Ida Mae read the next several sentences. "He heard I'm recovering from a bad fall, and he wants to spend some time with me. How do you suppose he heard about that?"
"I couldn't guess." Arlette was suddenly the picture of innocence. "Maybe he ran into an old friend from town or something."
"Or something." Ida Mae fixed Arlette with a piercing stare. "Or maybe someone wrote him, someone we both know very well."
"Oh, all right," Arlette said. "I wrote both your children and told them about your little accidents. I thought it was high time they softened up, and I couldn't see the harm in nudging things along."
Ida Mae knew Arlette's heart was in the right place, but she'd hoped Keith had come to this moment on his own. Years before, both Keith and her daughter, Kim, had moved away from Utah, determined to follow their own paths and escape her somewhat intense mothering style, or what they called "smothering." But she had learned a lot since then, and she wanted the chance to start fresh—to be there for her children instead of trying to do things for them. She took heart that Keith had been willing to go along with Arlette's little scheme.
"Did you tell him to invite me out for a visit?" Ida Mae asked.
"No." Arlette picked up her project again. "He came up with that on his own. I just told him what had happened to you, and that it would be nice if you heard from him."
"And you got his address . . . how?"
"I Googled him," Arlette said proudly. "Eden showed me how."
Ida Mae folded the letter and tucked it away to read later, when she didn't have company. "And you wrote Kim, too?"
"Yes, I did."
"No reply?"
When Arlette shook her head, Ida Mae wasn't surprised. It would take quite a bit to get Kim to come around—the girl had always been fiercely independent and resented Ida Mae's interference in her life.
"So, do you think you'll go?" Arlette asked.
"To Montana?" Ida Mae thought about it. "I don't know. I guess I should, but it just feels so awkward." If there was anything she'd learned over the last six months, though, it was the importance of living each day to the fullest and never taking anything for granted. Being stuck in a wheelchair, wearing two casts, and having most of your movement taken away from you will do that to a person.
"I think a dude ranch would be fun," Arlette continued.
"Dude ranch?"
"Yes, Keith owns a dude ranch. Didn't you know?"
Ida Mae knew her son was into horses—he always had been. But she didn't know he'd been able to take his love of animals and turn it into a living. "It does sound like fun, but I'll have to make that decision later. It's not something I can just leap into."
"And you'd have lots of time to spend with Keith. This isn't the busy season."
Ida Mae sighed. "You're just not going to give up on this, are you? You're that determined for me to go?"
"You need this, Keith needs this, and you need to get things patched up with your children." Arlette paused to grab another ball of string from her bag. "Besides, I think it's time you got yourself a pair of Levi's."
"What on earth would I do with Levi's?"
"You would wear them. Like pants. Because they are pants."
"My pants are just fine, thank you very much."
"Those polyester things you wear would frighten the horses."
Ida Mae looked down at her violet slacks. There was nothing in the world wrong with her clothing. In fact, she considered herself very much on the cutting edge of fashion for the elderly. "I think I look fine."
"You're no Vera Wang." Arlette snipped the end of her string with a tiny pair of scissors she kept on a chain around her neck. "I think George would like to see you in jeans."
Ida Mae's cheeks felt warm all of a sudden. "George has never expressed a dislike of my clothing."
"He might not dislike it per se, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't like to see you in something different," Arlette replied. "Jeans do something to the figure, Ida Mae. You might actually have one under there somewhere."
"Now you're getting personal!" Ida Mae was not at all pleased with the turn this conversation had taken. "I have a figure. And it's a very nice one, too."
"Silhouettes created with the aid of a girdle do not count."
"But jeans are different? Tell me, how are jeans different?"
"Jeans accentuate what you have. Girdles take it and smash it and squeeze it and . . . well, it's not unlike Play-Doh."
"Please remind me why I invited you over for lunch. I'm trying to remember, and I just can't."
"The memory is usually next to go, after the figure."
"All right! I will buy a pair of jeans. Will that make you happy?"
"My happiness is of no account," Arlette said righteously. "I was thinking of the horses."
"The horses won't care if I'm wearing jeans or not," Ida Mae protested. "Be honest. You were thinking of George."
"Yes, I was. It wouldn't hurt you to gussy it up for him from time to time."
"I don't consider denim to be 'gussied.'"
"Well, it's better than polyester!"
The discussion had come full circle, and there was no place to go but around again. Thankfully, they were saved by Tansy's arrival.
"Can you believe what I found?" she said, bustling in with her arms full of grocery bags. "I was over at Walmart and they had tulips. Tulips! In January! I just couldn't believe my eyes." Ida Mae and Arlette followed her into the kitchen, where she set the bags down on the counter and pulled out a bunch of bright red flowers. "May I borrow a vase, Ida Mae?"
"Of course." Ida Mae grabbed a medium-sized vase from her cupboard and started to fill it with water. "Someday, you're just going to have to break down and buy a floral shop."
"I would love that," Tansy said. "In fact, Earl and I have talked about it. Maybe down the road."
"Speaking of purchases . . . Tansy, don't you think Ida Mae needs to buy some Levi's?" Arlette asked.
"Arlette, for someone who says she cares deeply about the health and mental well-being of horses, you are beating this one to death." Ida Mae handed the vase to Tansy. "I've already agreed to go clothes shopping."
"So Keith's letter came?" Tansy asked.
"You knew about Keith?"
Tansy clapped a hand over her mouth, then lowered it. "I wasn't supposed to say anything. But yes, I knew."
Ida Mae shook her head. "Ganging up on me, are you? Does Kevin know about this too?"
"Of course," Arlette said. "We all agreed it was in your best interest."
"I had every intention of getting in touch with my children when I felt the time was right." Ida Mae pulled out a kitchen stool and sat down. "It's just that part of me hoped they'd make the first move."
"I'm sorry," Tansy said, wrapping her arm around Ida Mae's shoulders. "This must be so hard."
"It is, but not as hard as losing them in the first place." Ida Mae reached out and touched one of the tulip petals. "After the gloomy winter we've had, these sure brighten up the place."
"If you can change the subject, so can I," Arlette said. "Have you heard from Ren?"
Ida Mae was more than happy to move on. "Yes, I got a letter yesterday. He has his official release date, so we can make the arrangements for our trip."
"I can hardly believe it's almost time to go get him from his mission," Tansy said.
"Well, it's still six months away, but it feels close," Ida Mae agreed. "After we've made all our travel plans, it will zoom by."
They moved back into the living room, where Tansy took a seat near Arlette's chair. "What are you making? It's so pretty."
"It's a bookmark." Arlette held it up for further inspection and, Ida Mae assumed, admiration. "I was asked to provide birthday gifts for the Relief Society sisters this year."
"You have a calling?" Tansy wiped at one of her eyes with her index finger. "I would love to have a calling again."
"This isn't really a calling. It's an assignment," Arlette explained. "But I'm told it won't be much longer until we all have callings again."
Ida Mae herself could cry at that pronouncement. It had been so long since she'd held a position in the ward. She, Arlette, and Tansy had to be released as the Relief Society presidency after participating in nefarious espionage activities a few years previously, and while she appreciated the rest, she keenly felt the lack of stewardship. The thought of having a calling again filled her with joy.
"I can't wait." Tansy clasped her hands as she always did when something delighted her. "Why, I'd even work in the Cub Scouts, if it meant having a calling again."
"There's nothing wrong with Cub Scouts," Ida Mae said. "I actually had fun working with the boys when I was a den leader."
"But I can't build a crystal radio." Tansy turned to face Ida Mae. "I don't even know what one is."
"That's not a requirement—it's an elective," Ida Mae told her. "You can choose whether or not you want to make one."
"Well, I choose not. The most complicated thing I've ever done was watching Earl change a tire."
"Watching Earl change a tire was complicated?" Arlette asked.
"You had to be there."
Just then, they heard the slam of a car door outside. Seconds later, Eden burst through the door, screaming.
"What's the matter?" Arlette jumped up and took her granddaughter by the shoulders.
"Has there been another murder?" Tansy asked hopefully.
Eden shook her head and thrust a piece of paper into Arlette's hands. She read it, then sank back into her chair.
"What's going on?" Fear knotted in Ida Mae's stomach.
"She got a contract," Arlette said weakly.
"Eden! Is that true?" Ida Mae didn't mean to imply that Arlette was lying, but she wanted to hear the news from the girl's own lips.
"It's true! I have a contract!" Eden screamed again, jumping up and down. "I have a contract! I have a contract!"
Eden was a brilliant writer and had created a series of Gothic mysteries that were better than anything else Ida Mae had ever read, although she admitted she might be a little biased. After all, this was the girl she hoped would marry her nephew, and so of course she would be the most talented, most beautiful, and most perfect girl on the planet. After a long string of rejections, it was about time she landed herself a publisher.
"I'm so happy for you, dear." Ida Mae wiped a tear off her cheek. "When will the book come out?"
"Not for a year, I'm afraid," Eden said. "But they love the idea of a series, and they'd like me to be working on future novels in the meantime."
"My granddaughter. A published author." Arlette shook her head. "I always knew you could do it, yet it's still a surprise."
"I'm taking you all out to dinner." Eden plunked down on the couch. "It won't be at a very pricey restaurant, but we've got to celebrate somehow."
"Should we stay in Omni or go into Salt Lake City?" Arlette asked.
"Let's go to Salt Lake. I want Kevin to join us, too."
Ida Mae knew Eden and Kevin were good friends, but she also knew Kevin had a romantic interest in Eden, and she felt jealous on her nephew Ren's behalf. Kevin was a nice young man and had risked his life to help them during their last adventure, but Ida Mae was counting down the days until Ren came home to set things to rights again. "We had lunch a short time ago. How soon did you want to leave?"
"Oh, not for a couple of hours. It's only two." Eden reached into her bag. "I brought something else to add to our celebration."
Ida Mae felt excitement start to build in her midsection.
"The Princess Bride." Eden held the DVD aloft like a trophy.
Ida Mae sighed in contentment. This day just could not get any better.
Another Laugh Out Loud Secret Sister Mystery
by Kay - reviewed on September 24, 2011
Ida Mae Babbit (who has her own Facebook page) and her cohorts are at it again in another Secret Sister Mystery that take them to a Dude Ranch in Montana which Ida Mae's son, Keith, owns. This crew will keep you laughing with their antics (especially Ida Mae's late night, flannel PJs, bare-back horse chase) as they solve the mystery of the sabotage of the Dude Ranch. Tristi has created some fun, great characters and her descriptive writing keep you laughing throughout with the "visuals" she creates in your mind. Hang 'em High was a great escape for me on a rainy weekend when you just want to curl up with a good book - which I did! This is definitely one you won't want to miss!
Best One Yet!
by Heather - reviewed on September 28, 2011
Hang 'Em High is my favorite in the Secret Sisters series so far. It's an easy clean read with a refreshing moral and plenty of laugh out loud moments as Ida Mae Babbitt and her geriatric crew are out to solve another mystery. Set in Billings, Montana, this cozy focuses on the estranged relationship between Ida Mae and her adult son Keith. It explores the family dynamics of alcoholism and teenage pregnancy as well as forgiveness and giving up control as a "smother". I absolutely ate this book up. I only wish I knew all the of side characters a little better and am oh so curious as to how things are going to end up between Eden, Ren and Kevin. Guess I'll have to read the rest of the series to find out! I would definitely recommend Hang 'Em High to all readers as a good, clean book that will bring a smile to your face.
Cowboy up and head on over to read the new Secret Sisters Mystery called Hang 'Em High
by Sheila - reviewed on September 23, 2011
Cowboy up and head on over to read the new Secret Sisters Mystery called Hang 'Em High by Tristi Pinkston. Ida Mae Babbitt is once again trying to solve another mystery along with her two friends Tansy and Arlette. They go on a vacation to visit Ida Mae's son at his dude ranch in Montana. Little do they know that once again they will be pulling out their investigating skills to solve another mystery. We meet Ida Mae's son Keith and gain a new insight into Ida Mae's life. Mother and son have been estranged for years. Ida Mae hopes that this little trip will help mend some fences between them. There were some very touching moments as Ida Mae and Keith finally talked like they hadn't communicated for years. Now of course, there is a lot of humor and suspense along the way. I truly was laughing my way through this book. When you are reading things like... "Jeans accentuate what you have. Girdles take it and smash it and squeeze it and...well, it's not unlike Playdoh."" "...We're talking about horse murder right?" Tansy's forehead wrinkled as she concentrated. " That's not homicide. What would it be-horsicide?" "Well, well, well. If it isn't the geriatric cheerleading squad. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it." That last quote is from the scene I was laughing so hard, that I knew I was going to wake up my sleeping children upstairs. I can never get enough of the three women's shenanigans. As far as the mystery, Tristi does a wonderful job of making you think that everyone is guilty. It is a riot trying to figure out who dunit and realizing that you were led astray chapter after chapter. It is very surprising who is the culprit in the end. I know that you will enjoy this novel. If you haven't read the other Secret Sisters Mysteries yet, I would recommend you reading them first. They go hand in hand and it is a good thing to get to know everyone first. You can also go back and read my reviews of the first two books at my blog: http://www.whynotbecauseisaidso.blogspot.com

A NO vote in the referendum will be the coup de grace knocking the stuffing out of the tyrant Mugabe!
November 13, 2012 in Uncategorized
The Copac draft will not deliver free and fair elections or end Zimbabwe's culture of violence; PM Tsvangirai, MP Mwonzora and all the MDC leaders have admitted this is so. That was why they said they will continue to call for the implementation of the agreed reforms in security sector, media, etc.
Mugabe has put his foot down and said there will be no more reforms.
The Copac draft without the reforms is totally acceptable.
This latest impasse in this "Alice in Wonderland Caucus rat race" constitution writing process is just another one of Mugabe's dirty tricks to distract the people's attention from the fact that this Copac draft is rubbish!
The GPA, the GNU and SADC's involvement in Zimbabwe's whole sodded business was supposed to steer Zimbabwe towards one goal: towards holding fresh free and fair elections, free of the orgy of violence that had characterised the 2008 elections. To achieve this the country's three political parties agree to:
1) Implement a raft of democratic reforms including security sector and media reforms.
2) Draft a new democratic constitution, get it approved a referendum and then hold fresh elections.
18 months was allowed for the second task and all the reforms expected to be in place by then.
The orgy of violence in the 2008 elections had happened because Mugabe knew he would not win free and fair elections. It was therefore naïve to think the tyrant would not try every trick in the book to ensure none of the two tasks are carried out. It was PM Tsvangirai and his MDC party's responsibilities to ensure the tasks were carried out. Sadly to date it was Mugabe's will has prevailed; none of the reforms saw the light of day and the Copac draft is so weak and feeble, it will never deliver free and fair elections!
It is not true that Mugabe ever liked the Lancaster House Constitution (LHC). In 1990 he tried to have the LHC changed to create a constitutional one-party state but failed.
The GPA allowed the LHC to be amended to create the Office of the Prime Minister, etc., etc. and, more significantly, to allow for the writing of a new constitution, a referendum and then the scrapping of the LHC and replace it with the new constitution.
It is true that the GPA had not envisaged the new constitution being rejected in a referendum but then it never envisaged drafting the document would take four years either. No one has ever suggested that the nation revert to the LHC because it took forever to draft the new constitution. By the token Zimbabwe will not revert to the LHC if the people rejected the Copac draft in the referendum. We do not have to the LHC and the 2008 vomit it entails!
If the people reject the Copac rubbish, then a new body (the three political parties in the GPA having failed) will have to be constituted and tasked to implement the reforms and to draft the new constitution.
Mugabe will have none of the tyrannical power in the new body, if he is given any role in it at all, as he has in this GNU and that is why will do everything in his tyrannical power to ensure the Copac draft is accepted in the referendum. Many people are being fooled into believing Mugabe and Zanu PF will be voting NO to the Copac draft come the referendum – nothing could be further from the truth!
If the Copac draft is rejected then that would indeed be, not the beginning of the end of Mugabe and his dictatorship, but the end. The writing of a democratic constitution, the holding of truly free and fair elections, etc.; these will be mere formalities, the count out. A NO vote in the referendum would be the coup de grace that knocked the stuffing out of Mugabe end his reign of terror and the Zanu PF dictatorship! Zimbabweans will never again have to live in fear of political thugs and a corrupt Police Force!
