Book Description
SPECIAL EDITION: MURDER
Not even in Alpine, Washington, could the death of octogenarian Jack Froland be considered big news—except by his drinking buddies at Mugs Ahoy. But that suddenly changes when in the middle of the funeral, Jack’s widow hysterically insists that he was murdered. Emma Lord, publisher of The Alpine Advocate, who is already investigating a threatening letter received by the town’s beautiful blonde judge, now suspects she has two hot stories to unravel. Backed by her House and Home editor, that bottomless repository of scandal Vida Runkel, she prepares for a triple-threat special: murder, blackmail, and—as wildfire sweeps the mountainside— possible arson as well. But success will not come cheap. With a killer roaming the woods, it may cost Emma her life. . . .

Great Storyline.......2007-03-26
I loved this book (as I have loved the rest of the series) The characters are well drawn and believable, the mysteries are well plotted and after you've read a few of the books you start to feel as if you know these people. Great writing, good storyline. I recommend this book, and series, to everyone who enjoys a good mystery
A New Beginning.......2004-05-20
It's been a year since Tom Cavanaugh was murdered, and died in Emma's arms.
Emma Lord, owner and editor of the Alpine Advocate is not doing so well. She and Tom had an affair which produced her son Adam and she then waited almost 30 years for him to marry her. Now she feels as if her life is over and nothing interests her.
Her priest brother, Ben whose parish is in Tuba City, Arizona, invites her to go to Italy with him where he has a conference, but she doesn't really want to go anywhere.
And she's worried about her son, Adam, who's a newly ordained priest and his parish is in Northern Alaska, where he has to worry about dying of cold or polar bears.
Judge Marsha Foster-Klein, who was the judge at the trial of Tom's killer, asks a favor of Emma, she's got a threatening letter and would like Emma to investigate it.
At first Emma doesn't want to do it, but Vida finally convinces her to do it. The letter claims the Judge will never get her appointment because of things that had happened in the past, and included was an old photograph showing a railroad trestle with a rope hanging from it. The photo is probably 90 years old and none of them know what it means.
Then at the funeral of Jack Froland, Miles Dodge, the sheriff drives up and stops the burial. There are suspicions that Jack, a man in his 80's who was dying of cancer, may have been murdered.
And if that wasn't enought, a forest fire starts and after it's over, a dead body is found.
How these three storylines are intertwined, along with a fourth storyline, which takes place in 1916-1917, showing ancestors of many of the people involved in the modern story and explains what the photograph means, is a fascinating mystery which Emma finds difficult to solve.
Highligts:
Jack Froland funeral announcement which says "Come See Jack In The Box."
Milo asking Emma after a home cooked meal if it would help her if they went to bed together?
The fact that Milo is so obviously in love with her and seems to be taking her role in the unrequited love department.
The character's in this series are so real, that you just ache for them.
Spencer Fleetwood - owner of the new radio station in town, who keeps scooping Emma on all the stories.
Lowlights:
Tom Cavanaugh - I never liked this character. (See my review of the early books in this series) but I wanted Emma to dump him, not be devestated by having him die.
Where is everybody? You barely see Ginny Burmeister the office manager, Leo Walsh, the Ad Manager. The new reporter Scott Chamoud is more involved but Emma's old reporter Carla, who was a great character is barely mentioned. Only Vida is prominant in the story and she is beginning to be a little overwhelming and turning somewhat unlikeable.
I don't have the next book in the series yet, but ordered it the other day and can hardly wait for it to get here. I've been on vacation this week and have read more than half of this series in the last week. It was almost impossible to stop reading these books, once I started.
Nice Series Entry.......2003-02-18
As I have stated before, I do like this Mary Daheim series much better than the Bed and Breakfast series. The characters in this one are much more believable and the situations much more real-to-life. This episode revolves around a local judge getting a poison pen letter threatening her with exposure of a dark secret, about which she hasn't a clue. Ms. Daheim interweaves the current mystery with snippets from the past involving ancestors of the current Alpine residents, particularly those about which the story includes. She does a credible job with tying it all together and there were several aspects of this particular story I liked: Ed Bronsky, a character I do not care about, appears only in one scene; the story involves mostly Emma, Vida, and Milo; Emma is getting over the death of Tom. I would recommend this series to any mystery lover.
Not her best "Alpine" book.......2002-10-19
After writing volumes "A" through "O" of the Alpine series, Mary Daheim is stretching the story lines a bit thinly. In this entry Emma is still depressed over the death of her lover in the previous book. A local judge receives threatening letters which she asks Emma to investigate, while one of the judge's distant relatives is killed. Emma feels that the two cases are related and she begins the investigation with the help of her friend Vida and Sheriff Milo. This series may make it all the way to "Z", but it will be a stretch.
A worthy addition to the series..........2002-10-10
It is always a pleasure to return to Alpine..I hope the next installment comes out soon. I only wish that Ms. Daheim's Bed and Breakfast series was as well written!

Super Reader.......2007-08-04
No, we are not making dessert out of the boys with quick hardening chocolate. Here there are a few more problems with gods, with getting lost in the dark, with getting lost on the ocean without appropriate conveyance, and in the end, back to being a bit on the chilly side, as you could guess. Another rough time.

Book Description
Here is the perfect book for beginning riders who are using muscles they never knew they had before, advanced riders who want to stay in top form (especially as they get older), and weather-bound riders who can't get out during the winter but want to be fit when spring arrives.
The Rider's Fitness Program details a fun and effective six-week program that strengthens the muscles riders use while improving overall balance, flexibility, and coordination. The book features more than 85 exercises designed to help new riders get over the aches and pains of getting started and experienced riders hone their skills and technique and prevent injuries. The ultimate goal, of course, is to achieve "oneness" with the horse.
The routines are flexible, so individuals can customize the workout they need for jumping, dressage, reining, endurance, polo, or rodeo. The exercises are accompanied by step-by-step photographs that demonstrate how to perform each action properly (with an emphasis on safety). The exercises are progressive, from basic to advanced, and suitable for riders at all fitness levels.
The authors also include fundamental information on diet, general health and safety, and what clothing and equipment are necessary.
The Rider's Fitness Program is a comprehensive handbook for riders of all experience levels, with workout routines for every type of riding discipline.
Customer Reviews:
It's good.......2007-07-30
Has some good exercises that you can perform without going to the gym. However it does rely heavily on a lot of high end gym equipment. Still worth while to help build muscle and help increase flexibility.
good for others then just riders.......2007-03-16
The exercises in this book are very good for a rider but also for the non rider as focus on balance and the core of your body. Easy to follow and explained well.
The Rider's Fitness Program.......2007-01-12
Very helpful, great to have a resource focused on the rider!
Interesting.......2006-12-03
I got this book from the libary and I like it enough that I am here to muy it.
I am and old hand at working out..I have belonged to gyms , had personal trainers..and gone to every " class " you can think of.
This book takes the best of all of that and offers it in a interesting format.
I didn't like the mix of workouts that could be done at home with equipment that is only found in a gym..but I compensated for that by making do with my weight bench ,swiss ball, bands and weights. I made a tilt board out of wood and a piece of 4" plastic pipe cut in half..that worked..for an incline board for the ab exercises I use the ball, and hang onto my weight bench. For the foam to stand on , I got a foam foot rest from and office supply store. With a little imaganation I have been able to modify the exercises that require going to the gym,and am able to do them at home.
I have been riding for 6 yrs and these exercises do seem to be helping me become a better rider.
I will be entering the Nov ammie WP show arena next season and need any edge I can get..
Awesome book........2005-10-23
I took this book to my physical therapist who thought the book was awesome. I wanted to see if I could do all of the activities in the book, since I'm in therapy for shoulder injuries (from horses). With a few modifications, they thought that I could do all of them and inquired about where I got the book. They said they'd like to have a copy around for other equestrian patients.

Even if you're not a gardener, The Victory Garden Cookbook is a great book to have; if you are a gardener, it's a treasure. The book grew out of a public television series called The Victory Garden, which was essentially a how-to program aimed at home gardeners, with a recipe segment thrown in. As the show's popularity grew, so did viewer demand for more recipes; eventually, Victory Garden cook Marian Morash decided that a cookbook was in order, resulting in The Victory Garden Cookbook. The book is a wonderful hybrid encyclopedia of information for both gardeners who cook and cooks who like to garden; Morash's first goal was to so entice readers with the pleasures of eating home-grown vegetables that they, too, would take up gardening--or at least shop for the freshest ingredients instead of settling for canned or frozen goods. The book, first published in 1982, has been a huge success ever since.
Organized alphabetically, The Victory Garden Cookbook includes all the vegetables Morash grows in her own garden; in addition to information about planting, growing, and harvesting the fruits of your labor, Morash gives advice about storing vegetables, converts yields into measurements (i.e., a half-pound of small Brussels sprouts equals 28-30 sprouts, while a half-pound of medium sprouts equals 12-14) and offers tips to gardenless cooks for finding the best produce. Whether you're an avid gardener, a gardener wannabe, or simply a person who loves a good vegetable dish, The Victory Garden Cookbook is guaranteed to become one of your best-loved and most-used cookbooks.
Book Description
An incomparable variety of more than 800 enticing recipes, basic gardening information, shopping tips for nongardeners, preserving and serving hints. Over 300 color photos and oversize format; a quarter million sold to date!
Customer Reviews:
Best vegetable cookbook ever.......2007-10-07
I have been using this cookbook since it was published and it is positively the best. I just ordered a replacement for myself and one as a gift for a friend.
One of my top 5...so necessary........2007-07-08
I have over 300 cookbooks, and this is one of the books I will never part with. The chapters are arranged in alphabetical order by vegetable. There are loads of cooking suggestions and hints for each veggie. I recommend this book to people who are daily struggling to find a good side dish made from seasonal produce.
If you hate veggies, you will LOVE them if you just try a few recipes from this book. It is far from being a vegetarian cookbook, and even farther from being low fat, but I can guarantee that you will love the recipes.
Such a thoughtfully written book.
A Must Have !!.......2006-11-04
The absolute very, very best cookbook for vegetables of all kinds. I received my first copy of "The Victory Garden Cookbook" as a gift in l982 and used it until it literally fell apart. Was thrilled to purchase a new copy through Amazon. Useful tips on gardening, storage, marketing as well as wonderful recipes and enough colorful illustrations to make it inviting. Enjoy.
indispensable.......2006-09-22
what am i going to do with all these beans? this question and more answered here - from harvesting, selling, recipes, to preservation (freezing/canning). organized by vegetable - so when you're wondering what you're going to do with the overload of your current harvest...you can take a quick glance for suggestions.
At last!.......2006-05-11
This book has been out of print for the last few years. I have searched in every used book shop and yard sale from NY to AR - but with no luck -apparently no one wants to give theirs up! And with good reason - this amazing cookbook has everything you'll need for growing, buying and cooking all kinds of vegetables. The recipes are family friendly and memorable. I found myself cooking and enjoying vegetables my family doesn't normally care for - try the eggplant rollatini or the carrot/chicken fricasse and you'll see what I mean! I plan to stock up on this book - you don't have to be a gardener to enjoy this book and it will make a terrific present for friends and family!

It's frustrating. I have had this book for 2-3 years and am constantly using it's receipies. My daughter and several other friends are asking me about receipies in it and would love to have a copy- and I would love to provide one for them. I have been doing this for a very long time- Is the publisher every going to respond to demand?
