With its sinister humor and genius plotting, Ripley's Game is an enduring portrait of a compulsive, sociopathic American antihero.
Living on his posh French estate with his elegant heiress wife, Tom Ripley, on the cusp of middle age, is no longer the striving comer of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Having accrued considerable wealth through a long career of crime—forgery, extortion, serial murder—Ripley still finds his appetite unquenched and longs to get back in the game.
In Ripley's Game, first published in 1974, Patricia Highsmith's classic chameleon relishes the opportunity to simultaneously repay an insult and help a friend commit a crime—and escape the doldrums of his idyllic retirement. This third novel in Highsmith's series is one of her most psychologically nuanced—particularly memorable for its dark, absurd humor—and was hailed by critics for its ability to manipulate the tropes of the genre. With the creation of Ripley, one of literature's most seductive sociopaths, Highsmith anticipated the likes of Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter years before their appearance.

I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Brilliant and disconcerting at the same time"
While this is probably my favorite Highsmith/Ripley novel so far, it is also the most unsettling. She manages - by introducing a new counter-Narrator (Jonathan) - to make Ripley's amorality seem even more fragile and desolate. Jonathan's wife Simone also stands as an interesting counter-spouse to Heloise. Throughout the novel the twisting and sometimes converging tales of Ripley and Jonathan seem like spinning endless images mirrors. Each narrator reflecting the existential, blood-splattered flatness of the other. It was brilliant and disconcerting at the same time.
"Great Narration!"
I love these books but there are times that the plot is so unbelievable that I get very uncomfortable. I know that Ripley is a sociopath but he takes risks, particularly in this book, that make no sense at all. Killing for reasons that have nothing to do with him and which have no chance for profit or preservation. And yet he is loveable and you identify with him and don't want him to get caught.
Kenerly is my favorite narrator to date. He speaks french, does different accents. His voice is soothing. When he is speaking for women he doesn't do a drag queen voice like some books I've listened to. His performance is invisible with no irritations to remind you that you are listening to a book instead of reading it. I believe he is the reason I have purchased this entire series.
Yes. The first book made a wonderful movie so why not film all of them?
"Back for thirds"
That it wasn't just Tom Ripley anymore - now we have Trevinie to learn about also. I loved that the story is told from two different intersecting points of view.
No clue.
Jonathan. He's not a killer (well, that's debatable). He's a regular guy - a regular guy just like Tom used to be? And it's fun to listen to his torment as he's dragged through the book.
Maybe when Jonathan watched Reeves demonstrate how to use the garrote on the bedpost.
I wasn't sure Highsmith could keep it interesting for a third book, but she did. The two points of view lets us get to know Jonathan and see how he's sucked into horrible things by Tom.
We bite
"I am a person who doesn't do series books"
I was enamored with the first Ripley book. The second one was just ok, but was still entertaining enough to make me wonder what would flesh out in a third book. I am glad I have continued with the series. In this third book, Ripley gets a little more confident and cocksure of what he is. It is a big departure from the timid, manic Ripley in the first book. This book, oddly, has an almost Batman feel to it as he befriends a man and they go after the Mafia. I enjoyed this book and look forward to completing the series.
Willy Wonka of it
"Another standard Ripley tale"
Only if they're into the series. This isn't a bad book, but it's not terribly compelling either.
The telling of the tale from 2 sides was interesting.
Isn't this a spoilery question? Well, if I had to answer, it would probably be the scene on the train platform (outside the bathroom)
Not really.
It's Ripley... same ole' bumbling through murders mostly clueless and somehow getting away.
It's crazy but I find myself liking this sociopath! I even become half convinced that he has no other choice but to kill and that the victims deserve it. So far this is my favorite one out of the series but I still have two more to listen to. I can't put them away but find myself listening to them when I should be doing other things.
"Gangsters? Really?"
I loved Tom Ripley as always
I wouldn't have involved the Italian Mafia
Loved when Tom Ripley described his beef with Jonathan...very petty but funny
Tom Ripley, he is very complex
"Good read"
I always enjoy the Tom Ripley character, there were some twists in this one.
Well done
Good airplane book
I am a D-Bag.
"Not enough Tom?"
Spent to much time with other characters. Not as well developed as the first two. One question I thought Tom was a bi-sexual? Maybe I thinking about the movie. Can anyone listen to this book and not see Tom as Matt Damon? In the end Part III is worth the cash or credit. Tom is still one cool B@stard.
"The most civilized and engaging of killers"
It is somewhat disturbing how it is so easy to, not only like a killer, but slip into his mindset and actually justify his murders. As seems to be my custom, I tend to read a series of books backwards--I start with the latest, then work backwards. I love psychological thrillers, and ended up loving these books, but don't really consider them "thrillers". In fact, there isn't much of a plot to the two books I have read; but it is a mind game. And, I suppose that is what Ripley's game is, a life of smoke and mirrors.
I actually thought the series must be written by a Brit, as Ripley seems about as American as Colin Firth. You could possibly rationalize the tea, cheers, calling raincoats "Macks",ending sentences with questions, and all the other "Briticisms" if he were highly born and educated, but not the case. Other Americans seem to always be portrayed more crudely, as one would expect of a British author. Then I did some research on the author, and find that, not only is she from the US, but deceased, having been born in the 20s, I believe.
In spite of it all--the lack of thrilling plot or action, the superficial life of Ripley and his wife, who even sleep in separate bedrooms, and the unlikely portrayal of Ripley as an American--it is totally engaging, and I get lulled into each of the tales, fascinated by the character.
It is too bad the author cannot produce any more of these gems; she could have a good time with some of the modern technology in the stories. I never could get into Dexter; but Tom Ripley is charming.

The IMF's Tokyo branch, IMF Japan (a.k.a. The Myeloma Patients Association of Japan) was founded by Mr. Akira Horinouchi in October 1997. The branch started with just a few participants but, by May 2005, we had grown to include one thousand members. Currently, our medical support team consists of 63 doctors. The major activities of IMF Japan are:
All IMF Japan activities are funded by donations and are made possible through the efforts of patients, family members, and other volunteers. Our slogans are: "Information can save your life! Have hope! And never give up!" It is an honor for us to be able to work with the IMF because, Until There is a Cure... There is the IMF.
LATIN AMERICA By Christine Battistini
The newest branch of the International Myeloma Foundation is located in São Paulo, Brazil. IMF Latin America was founded in September 2004. The office currently serves all of Latin America.
I was motivated to reach out to the Latin multiple myeloma community by my experience as a caregiver. My mother, Maria Helena Telles, was diagnosed with myeloma in 1997. She fought a courageous and inspiring battle with her disease until her recent passing. From the time my mother's diagnosis was confirmed, the IMF was our source of information and support.
IMF Latin America is growing fast. Patients, caregivers, and physicians in all parts of Latin America are eager to have access to the latest information about myeloma. Our website www.myeloma.org.br provides a variety of educational materials in Portuguese and will soon be offering information in Spanish, too.
We are excited to be able to host a Latin American Clinical Conference and our first IMF Patient & Family Seminar in July, with both meetings being attended by IMF's Susie Novis and Dr. Brian G.M. Durie.
Our mission is to increase the awareness of multiple myeloma in Latin America, bring the medical community the information necessary to enable early diagnosis, and offer the many invaluable IMF programs and services to the Latin American myeloma community.
We are honored to be part of the truly International Myeloma Foundation family and we strongly believe in Brian Novis' words: One person can make a difference. Two can make a miracle.

NAIROBI, 15 February 2011 – The first Intra-Africa Metrology System (AFRIMETS) Metrology School is finishing its work in the Kenyan capital this week.
The School offers a course on building a sound measurement system. It will also provide a hands-on experience in a number of technical fields and introduce standards and quality procedures.
The ten-day course was organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), the Bureau International des Poids et Measures (BIPM), the International Organisation of Legal Metrology (OIML), the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and Weights and Measures Department.
The 2011 AFRIMETS Metrology School will equip the younger generation of metrologists with the knowledge necessary to build the African metrology infrastructure to an internationally accepted level.
A number of internationally renowned scientists have been invited to share their knowledge in their particular areas of expertise. In addition to the laboratory experiences, participants will also visit several industries to assess the implementation of quality, standards and metrology, and their effect, on the successes of these industries.
Participants from all countries on the African continent were invited to participate, and after a rigorous selection process, two candidates were selected per country. Seven young metrologists from Asia and the Americas are also participating to facilitate networking and inter-regional knowledge exchange.
The 2011 Metrology School is part of a project for the institutional strengthening of the Intra-Africa Metrology System (AFRIMETS) and is funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and UNIDO. The school is hosted locally by KEBS and Weights and Measures Department.

I love all food, but I particularly love food that can be shared easily and food using loads of gorgeous spices. I cook a lot of Moroccan and Turkish inspired food, so when I discovered not only Moro the restaurant, but the cookbook, I was hooked. Moro food is a natural, delicious mix of Spanish, North African and East Mediterranean cuisines, and most importantly, it's divine.
Last year for my birthday I went to Moro and was given Moro: The Cookbook. Since then I've used it constantly, especially for supper clubs - it complements perfectly the two Ottolenghi books, my Claudia Roden "Arabesque" book, and a couple of things I picked up at a cooking class in Marrakech.
It's difficult to narrow it down but I'd say
1. Flatbreads - I would have made these at least 20 times over the past year. They are divine. Sprinkled generously with dukkah and sea salt, you can't go wrong. It's almost insulting how much people rave about these at the expense of other food I've cooked that took far longer to prepare!
2. Pistachio sauce - I've served it with cod or salmon, stirred through couscous, with roast lamb, with olive oil crackers on a cheese platter. Oh and I've eaten it straight from the container with a spoon. Need I say more?
3. Aubergine and red pepper salad with caramelised butter and yoghurt. Yes, you read that correctly, CARAMELISED BUTTER. Do you even need to read the rest of this? I've made this plenty of times and it's such a pretty dish, either as part of a feast or simply slathered on flatbreads. Did I mention the caramelised butter?
6. Walnut, lemon & cardamom cake - I wrote about this here when I made it. It's good. It's really good. Admittedly the people at my work will hoover up anything, but they really did enjoy this cake when I took it in for morning tea.
So, why the gushing post? Well, it's 10 years since the first publication of Moro: The Cookbook. To celebrate, the publishers are re-issuing all three of the books (the other two are Casa Moro and Moro East, which have previously only been available in hard cover) in paperback and with these quite exquisite new covers. Truly, they are gorgeous.
In the upcoming weeks I'll be cooking from Casa Moro and Moro East as these are new to me. I'll of course let you know what further deliciousness I uncover.
The books are available from 4 August here on Amazon (check to make sure you've got the ones with 4.8.2011 publication date), and can be shipped anywhere (yes you can even have them delivered to Sydney!). BUT, it can't have escaped your notice that I now have TWO copies of Moro: The Cookbook. So, as much as it pains me, because this re-issued addition is so lovely, I'd like to share the love a little and give it away. If you'd like to win the special birthday edition of Moro: The Cookbook, leave a comment with your email address and tell me which of my top 6 recipes from the Moro book you'd make first. But do it quickly before I change my mind! I'll pick a winner at random on Monday 1 August and send the book to you, where ever in the world you are.
Good luck and happy birthday to the Moro cookbook!

This was Rick's take on what happens in Massachusetts in 2014:
Problem is, the small business community thinks Rick is dead wrong. Rick thinks that everyone else is sailing into the paradise of Romneycare, while the small business community thinks we in Massachusetts are about to enter the purgatory of Obamatax. The issue is this: under the law of federal pre emption, federal law supplants state law, unless a waiver is issued. Obamatax, which seems to be of the same structure of Romneycare, would pre empt Romneycare, unless a waiver was granted from specific provisions of Obamatax. The insurance industry seems to think that Romneycare is being pre empted by Obamatax, and small business owners are being warned to expect a potential double digit inflation of premiums next year. Small business owners have been demanding answers from the state and insurance regulators trying to get a straight answer to a straight question: which regime applies next year? Rick and I have discussed this issue, he's seen a letter from the small business community trying to get an answer to this question.
It may take a court to sort this out, but I think at the moment Rick's certainty about all of this is not generally shared by those who will be bearing the cost.

From Emma Watson's touching words to getting a glimpse of the latest Hunger Games film, here were our favorite moments of the night:
Wilson's Iron Man Suit: During the show's opener, James Franco made a quick cameo to present the Bridesmaids actress with a custom-made Iron Man suit of her own – dubbed the Iron Mangina. Complete with an opening for her high ponytail, Wilson strapped on the suit and jetted off to host the big event.
Pitch Perfect's Reunion: The evening started off on a high note when the majority of the musical comedy Pitch Perfect reunited to deliver a medley that included Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire."
Are They Actually Smoking on Television?!: Snoop Lion – formerly known as Snoop Dogg – and Ke$ha made an odd pair of presenters but things got even stranger when some controlled substances also made an appearance. The duo didn't miss a beat as they puffed on what appeared to be marijuana while presenting an award.
Emma Watson's Touching Acceptance Speech: While being honored for her achievements in acting with MTV's Trailblazer Award, Watson offered up some timeless advice. "You have supported me in all of my awkwardness and allowed me to grow into the kind of actress and the kind of person that I hope to be so thank you very much for that," she told the audience. "If you truly put your heart into what you believe in, even if it makes you vulnerable, amazing things can and will happen."

Vijay requests Jayalalithaa's help for release of Thalaivaa
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 12th August 2013 07:48 AM
Last Updated: 13th August 2013 07:47 PM
Two days after Thalaivaa failed to hit the screens, actor Vijay sought the assistance of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in getting the film released at the earliest.
In an official press statement, seeking the CM's intervention, Vijay said, "I request the chief minister, who has helped so many others, to intervene in the problems that Thalaivaa is facing and help us to get the film released across Tamil Nadu at the very earliest." Thalaivaa was slated for release last Friday but was yanked out of theatres after disagreements cropped up between the distributors and the theatre owners.
A bomb threat, issues with the tax waiver certificate and a lawsuit, besides the purportedly 'political' nature of the film had all played a role in its delay. It released in all other parts of India and abroad and has been doing well. Industry trackers have estimated that the film netted close to Rs 80 lakh in the opening weekend in the UK alone, which is quite an achievement for a non-Bollywood film.
Vijay went on to say how much regard he had for the Chief Minister and the way in which she has handled governance. "I have always admired the way the chief minister has governed the State.
She has a transparent style of functioning that is aimed at making Tamil Nadu the most progressive State in the country. She has granted free power, welfare schemes, laptops for students and has taken strong stands in issues like the NLC crisis. I have always admired her administration and it is clear that her government is of the highest calibre."

As an associate professor in the Department of Earth Sciences and Science Education at SUNY Buffalo State, Kevin K. Williams is a geologist who studies the evolution of planets. But he really is a Mars junkie who looks at the red planet as an art form, a way to pique the interest of others.
Williams, born in Rehoboth, Mass., moved to Buffalo seven years ago from Washington, D.C., where he worked as a researcher at the Smithsonian Institution. Three years ago he was named director of the Whitworth-Ferguson Planetarium, which is now closed and scheduled to undergo extensive renovation as part of Buffalo State's expanded Science and Mathematics Complex.
Williams, 42, is committed to bridging the gap between the local arts and science communities. He has collaborated with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in photo-illustrating a performance of "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Williams also contributed to an exhibit running through Aug. 4 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center called "Oh My Heavens" in which he weighs in on the scientific accuracy of Charles Burchfield's skyscapes.
People Talk: What have you discovered about the moon that surprised you?
Kevin Williams: There is water in the moon trapped between the rocks forming little bits of ice that together is the same amount of water we have in the Great Lakes. Think about people living on the moon one day. They will have a source of water.
PT: What makes you so sure people will be living on the moon?
KW: Why did people travel across the oceans to North America? It's part of human nature. I don't know that in 100 years there will be cities on the moon, but in 500 years there will be colonies.
PT: Are you a dreamer?
KW: Absolutely. I am an optimistic realist.
PT: Tell me about an Earth research project.
KW: Using ground-penetrating radar that bounces off of objects to tell you what is below the surface without digging. The bodies of ice below the surface are actually bigger than you think. That ties into the whole climate change issue of how fast the ice is melting. Using the same technology locally, I've worked with the college's anthropology department to collect data on Old Fort Niagara which will eventually give us a three-dimensional view of what is below its surface.
PT: What makes you a good professor?
KW: I give students real-world experiences by tying them to my own, as in talking about my research in the Arctic and dealing with temperatures of negative 40. I also like getting students involved in research, working with me looking at Mars.
PT: What excites you about Mars?
KW: Sometime in the next 50 years there will be people walking on Mars, though the new rover on Mars that got there last August – Curiosity – is not looking for life. The two rovers before Curiosity were Spirit and Opportunity. They were supposed to last 90 days, and Opportunity is still working nine years later driving and taking pictures. The first rover was Pathfinder in the late '90s. In the '70s we had the two Viking orbiters.
PT: Can Earth be like Mars?
KW: Not exactly because the temperatures and pressures are different on Mars with very cold areas – like the dry valleys in Antarctica, probably one of the driest places on Earth. One of the places I have worked is on Devon Island in Antarctic. It's part of Canada and it's dry but it's also very cold. There's a big impact crater there from a meteorite.
PT: Why should I be concerned about Mars?
KW: Why be concerned about someplace that is 90 million miles away? Because it's a target for imagination. Mars inspires people. You don't have to be a scientist to appreciate it. You can like it for its artistic value. Even for a kid who is really into basketball. How high can he jump on Mars?
Mars is also an easy way to get connected because all of the data is available to the public. You go through NASA's website and it's all there. With some of the cameras you can look at images taken two days ago. You might be among the first 10 people to look at that picture in the world. It gives people an opportunity to be scientists on the side.
PT: Besides Mars, what's your go-to planet?
KW: It would be one of the moons of Jupiter Europa because it's all ice – not water or slush. It's something I did research on as a graduate student figuring how thick the ice is. It's only a couple of kilometers thick in most places, which is how thick the ice on Buffalo was when it was covered by glaciers.
PT: Tell me more about Buffalo's Ice Age.
KW: It was 18,000 years ago, and almost all of New York State was covered. Only a little part of southwestern New York, the Allegany State Park area, wasn't covered. Actually the ice went back and forth, carved out the Great Lakes, the Finger Lakes, and some of the valleys near Arcade and Holland. When the glaciers started melting, water filled in the Great Lakes and Finger Lakes and carved out the Mohawk Valley.
PT: What has been your golden moment in Buffalo?
KW: Within the last year getting tenure and getting promoted to associate professor.
PT: What gets people thinking about space?
KW: Something like the Apollo missions to the moon. With younger people it's the rovers on Mars, built on Earth and sending people all this information from Mars, and we're able to control it from here.
PT: How did you react to the final space shuttle?
KW: Disappointed because the justification used is they were old and prone to accidents. They had been rebuilt. They weren't the original space shuttles. We were left without a way to launch our own rockets to get people into space.
PT: Where would you travel in space?
KW: Mars. The moon, too, but there's so much that happened on Mars which makes it more interesting. When I was little, I wanted to be an astronaut, until maybe 10 years ago when it became realistic that I wasn't going to be one.
PT: You are committed to space study.
KW: It makes you understand how small the Earth is – it's a tiny speck – and we have to think about ways to protect the environment so we can enjoy the planet. That's how I end classes, by showing a picture of Earth taken from beyond Pluto. There's this great Native American proverb that says: "We don't inherit the Earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children."

Take Action on Federal Legislation
The Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act: HR 1801
The PACT Act: HR 4277
The Cancer Treatment Parity Act Introduced in Senate
The IMF applauds Senator Al Franken (MN) and Senator Mark Kirk (IL) for introducing the Cancer Treatment Parity Act, a Senate companion bill to H.R. 1801. "Passage of this legislation would mean that patients no longer have to decide between the best treatment for their cancer and their family's financial stability. Patients living with cancer across the country can focus on what really matters: surviving their cancer," said Meghan Buzby. This bipartisan legislation would ensure patient access to anticancer treatments by requiring insurance companies to cover patient administered and physician administered anticancer drugs at the same cost to patients.

Flushable Diaper Liners ... making clean-up a breeze.
Flushable Diaper Liners make cloth diapering clean-ups a breeze to handle. They also aid in preventing stains on your cloth diapers, decrease the chance of detergent build-up or cream residue (reduces odor retention!), and provides a light barrier between your baby and wetness. A real time-saver!
These cloth diaper liners can be use as flushable diaper liners or disposable diaper liners, depending on your water system. If you are on a septic system, or have old or damaged plumbing, it is highly recommended that you simply dispose of these liners in the trash, rather than flush them down your toilet. This is our personal recommendation with ALL biodegradable, flushable (disposable) cloth diaper liners, although these are labeled as septic-safe on new systems. Disposing of these liners in the trash still makes cleaning up just as simple and easy!
How to use Biodegradable Flushable Liners:
- Simple! Place the bio-liner on top of any cloth diaper against your baby.
- When diaper is soiled, remove liner and put into toilet.
- Allow liner to absorb water and become softer for easier flushing. Only flush one liner at a time!
- If on a sensitive septic system, remove liner and dump solids down toilet. Dispose of liner in the trash.
- Wet liner only? Rinse, hang to dry, and reuse a second or third time.
Our biodegradable, flushable diaper liners are constructed from plant cellulose (soft wood pulp) and are whitened using Hydrogen Peroxide rather than chlorine bleach. Providing a layer between your baby's bottom and a cloth diaper, these disposable liners protect your cloth diapers from staining, as well as protecting your baby's behind. They allow wetness to pass through them, onto the cloth diaper, but not back again. This helps keep your baby feeling dryer had no liner been used at all. They are designed to retain solids, making clean up easier. So durable, these cloth diaper liners are can be washed (if only wet) and re-used more than once. Soft plant fibers are less scratchy than other paper liners available on the market. A great choice for parents that want less mess!
Our Biodegradable Flushable Diaper Liners come in an average roll of 100 perforated sheets/changes per roll. Constructed of 100% Viscose, the size small measures approximately 5" x 11.5" per sheet and are recommended for newborns or with prefolds or fitted diapers. We recommend the size large liners for pocket diapers to minimize shifting and bunching on the fleece fabric. If you are on a septic, or would like a STAY-DRY, economical option for your baby, check out our reusable, washable microfleece cloth diaper liners. The perfect choice to keep your little one feeling dry all night long!
Caution: Flushing of liners in old or damaged drains and in sensitive septic tanks may cause blockage. These and any other "flushable biodegradable" liners are only recommended for use in city systems. If you are on a septic system, please use with caution.
Cloth Diaper Liners for Septic Systems
Christopher from Barrie, Ontario (Canada) asks us...
Q: My family is on a septic system. What are my alternatives?
A: Just as you should not flush tissues or paper towels when you have a septic system, flushing biodegradable cloth diaper liners is not recommended. These flushable diaper liners are labeled as safe for new septic systems, however, we would still suggest using caution, if you choose to flush them. You should only flush one liner in the toilet at a time. Additionally, we recommended that you let the liner sit in the water for a few minutes before flushing it so that the pulp absorbs water and becomes softer and easier to flush.
Alternatively, you can also use these liners as disposable liners, and once the solids are dumped into the toilet, toss the paper liner into a waste receptacle instead. This will still help save time and make cleaning up after baby easier and less messy.
For parents that want to save more money, or are concerned about the waste left behind, cloth diaper liners that can be re-used and washed in the washing machine along side cloth diapers are an excellent alternative.
Alternatives to biodegradable, flushable liners, all of which are washable and reusable, include:
- Microfleece, Stay-Dry Liners (wicks moisture from baby for the ultimate in wetness protection)
- Hemp/ORGANIC Cotton Doublers (also provides increased absorbency)
- Mini Shower Diaper Sprayer (a customer and mom FAVORITE!)
Price is for one (1) roll of 100 perforated sheets/changes per roll. Constructed of 100% Viscose, the size small measures approximately 5" x 11.5" per sheet.
Made in United Kingdom.

Makes cloth diapering easy! Review by Barbara
Price Value Quality
These liners were included with our first Bummis kit and we LOVE them!! Having had to do the rinsing thing in the past, these make cloth diapering as easy as disposable diapers - even while traveling.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
I've been disposing of these in the garbage (even though they are flushable, I'm not convinced that our septic system can handle them). Even so, the amount of waste is really minimal. You can even reuse them by rinsing and hang to dry if the diaper isn't poop-y.
After the first couple of months, we switched to the larger size of liners. They are even better. (Posted on 7/24/10)
An Essential! Review by Jennifer
Price Value Quality
I absolutely love these. Though it does add an additional cost to cloth diapering, it also means that I simply tip my soiled diaper over the toilet and this flushable liner filled with...um...the mess, just falls into the toilet and is flushed away. Then I can just toss the diaper in my pail and wash.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
It really helps cut down on the "ick factor" and helps me avoid touching fecal matter which is a huge plus in my books!
They're also soft on baby's bottom, unlike another brand I've used that was extremely rough. (Posted on 1/2/11)
A great help for clean up! Review by Amanda
Price Value Quality
These liners make clean up so much easier and have been a staple in our cloth diapering since the beginning. Even with runny newborn poo they have saved us from having to deal with major messes on the diapers. It's so nice to be able to throw away the majority of the mess and flush away! At night they seem to help wick some of the wetness away from our little one's skin. My only complaint is that they do slip and bunch on occasion in the diaper - I haven't tried the large size yet, which could potentially solve this problem. I find them so much softer than some other brands of flushable liners out there. (Posted on 1/4/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Keeps it clean Review by Suzy
Price Value Quality
I have been using these from the get go. It makes the mess so easy to clean up. I am fortunate that my daycare provider will do cloth diapering and this makes it even easier for her. Plus they are softer than any other liner that I have tried and nice and thin so no worries about plugging the toilet at all. (Posted on 11/24/12)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
For those who despise the toilet swish Review by Kristen
Price Value Quality
When I told a friend I was going to use cloth diapers, her only advice was "just don't get the kind that you have to rinse in the toilet every time." She had bad memories from when she was 12 and her younger brother was born. Well we have 'that kind' of diaper, but with these liners there is no need for the swishing. This is good news for 'dad,' who was not so sure about cloth diapers either. I find using liners also helps keep the diapers cleaner, and I don't have to worry about residue from diaper cream (which we have to use often). These work great, if you're worried about waste, the fleece liners are also lovely. (Posted on 7/13/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
They were great until they caused a rash Review by Michelle
Value Quality Price
We used these for about 2 months after the boy started solids. Unfortunately, after much trial and error, we discovered that it was the liners that were causing his rashes. We stopped using the liners, and the rashes basically went away.Would you recommend this product to a friend? In the right circumstance.
Too bad, since they were very convenient.
However, 2 years later, we don't miss them - we're so used to just managing the poop with our diaper sprayer, it's not a big deal at all. (Posted on 1/4/11)

WILLIAMSBURG - As a junior, Williamsburg's Josh Morrissey made a note of the bad feeling following last year's senior night loss and wanted to make sure his senior night turned out the differently.
The Blue Pirates point guard consistently put his teammates in good spots to score time and time again Monday against Juniata Valley. Morrissey dished out 11 assists to help lead Williamsburg past the Hornets, 56-40.
"It feels real good to beat our rivals twice in the same season," he said. "I remember how bad it felt when we lost on senior night last year."

Juniata Valley's Jason Shawver shoots over Zach Appleman and Jed Dishong (24).
Cody Palmer was Morrissey's primary target. The junior center scored a game-high 22 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for a double-double.
"We fed the paint really well. Josh feeding Cody the ball was the key to our offense," Williamsburg coach Mike Farrell said. "That's the best game Cody's played all year. He did a good job posting up, using his drop step and getting good looks. He was really strong under the basket."
Seniors Eli Fay and Jed Dishong scored in double digits as well with 13 and 12 points, respectively.
Farrell credited the team's defensive play with "sparking" the offense.
"We played really well defensively. We did a good job against their ball-handlers. That set the tone," he said.
Williamsburg, which also knocked off Juniata Valley last month, moved past the Hornets into second place in the Inter-County Conference North division with the win.
The Blue Pirates improved to 10-3 in ICC North play, 14-6 overall. Juniata Valley fell to 10-4 in the ICC North, 13-7 overall.
Williamsburg took the early led when Dishong scored the Blue Pirates first three baskets for a 7-2 lead. Williamsburg maintained a slight advantage until late in the second quarter.
A 12-2 run to close out the first half put the Blue Pirates ahead 33-20 at the break. After Palmer scored down low on three straight possessions, Fay drained a pair of 3-pointers.
"It went from a six-point game to 13 points at halftime. The finished the second quarter strong, and then we quit a little in the third," Juniata Valley coach Ron Anders said.
A six-point spurt in the middle of the third quarter put the Blue Pirates ahead by 21 points when Anders called timeout and pulled four starters for the final 2:25 of the period.
"The younger guys went in and did a good job," he said. "The starters competed harder when they got back in there, but by then, it was too late. It was a great job by them, not so much by us."
Juniata Valley was particularly bad from the free throw line, converting just 2-of-17 foul shots.
"Our offense has been inconsistent all year. You're not going to get away with that against a good opponent," Anders said.

A new management company — and a revised identity — are in store for one city's oldest and best-known lodgings.
The Mills House Hotel at 115 Meeting St. will change its brand and management company after 30 years on March 1.
The name will slightly change as well, according to Tripp Hays, director of sales for the Mills House. The new name will be Mills House a Wyndham Grand Hotel.
The upscale hotel has operated under the Holiday Inn brand and been managed by InterContinental Hotels Group since 1983. It will convert to a Wyndham Grand Hotel and be managed by Wyndham Hotel Group.
Hays said the owners decided the Wyndham Grand brand is more reflective of the Mills House and would help attract more customers.
"We were the only AAA Four Diamond-rated Holiday Inn in the U.S.," he said.
The hotel dates back to 1853, when it was opened by entrepreneur Otis Mills. It survived a fire in 1939 and underwent a complete renovation in 1970.
Many people in Charleston and visitors alike have a story tied to the property, which Hays said has been the site of 2,325 wedding receptions since 1970.
"We often speak with guests who spent their honeymoon here in the 1940s and 1950s," he said.
Wet storage
A Napa Valley winery with local ties is giving a new meaning to the term "wet bar" by embarking on an intriguing taste test this week.
Mira Winery said plans to become the first American winery to experiment with ocean aging by submerging four cases of its 2009 cabernet sauvignon in specially designed cages in Charleston Harbor. The goal is to understand the difference between wine aged on the ocean floor versus wine aged in the warehouse.
A dive team is schedules to leave from the Charleston Maritime Center at 10 a.m. Wednesday to place the cases. They will remain there for three months. Afterward, the wine will be tested and tasted with bottles of the same vintage stored in similar conditions above ground.
The president of St. Helena, Calif.-based Mira Winery is political consultant Jim Dyke Jr., who lives in Charleston.
Mira Winery said several European wineries have experimented with aging and storing wine in the ocean, though it believes its project is the first of its kind in the United States.
"The ocean has similar ideal elements that impact aging — temperature, pressure, humidity, pressure motion, light — or lack thereof — and oxygen," Gustavo Gonzalez, Mira Winery's winemaker, said in the statement. "Is there something just as impactful and interesting in aquaoir as there is about terroir? We are going to try and find out."
Hospital-ity deal
Roper Hospital is clearing the air about its hotel ambitions.
The health care provider has no plans to jump into the development business. Instead, it's looking at partnering with a company that's willing to build a hotel on property Roper owns across from its downtown Charleston medical center.
"We would like to contribute the land in exchange for an ownership percentage of the project," CEO David Dunlap said in a statement Thursday to employees and board members. "Our primary interest is to have access to convenient parking that would be available to us if the project does indeed become a reality."
He also said Roper is in talks with an unidentified construction company.
The Post and Courier reported the deal earlier last week. At that time, Roper released scant details about it plans.
Roper has submitted plans to the city showing a six-story boutique hotel of up to 150 rooms and a parking deck on property it owns at 325 Calhoun St.
It is asking the city for a zoning change that would allow a hotel on the site. The parcel at Fourth and Calhoun streets now is occupied by administrative offices and other uses. The Planning Commission will take up the request at 5 p.m. Wednesday at 75 Calhoun St.

4 Common Music Arguments and What They Really Mean
#2. "I Liked Them Until They Got Popular"
Sure, that one band was great when they started out. You went to all of the shows, you followed them on Twitter, you wore the fucking T-shirts, all of that good stuff. But then something awful happened, a fate you could never see befalling your beloved band -- they got famous. Like, really famous. Green Day 2009 famous, not Green Day 2001 famous.
And with that last sentence, a lot of "true" Green Day fans just lost their collective mind, because comparing 2001 to 2009 in the Green Day catalog implies that everything up to 2001 never even happened. And that's some bullshit because, as everyone knows, Green Day was only a good band on those first two albums where all the songs sound exactly the same because they're all the same song. Those were the golden years. Then everyone heard "When I Come Around" and lost their shit and one thing led to another and now Green Day is the worst thing that ever happened to anyone.
Translation: "I only care about myself."
What people leave out when they start waxing poetic about the days when bands sold tapes out of a van after shows in dingy nightclubs is the part where their favorite musicians also keep a day job and die of a tooth infection because they can't afford health insurance.
Wanting to be part of your own little group is perfectly understandable; wanting the entity that brought you together to enjoy as little success as possible in life is not.
I get that some of it has to do with the timeless "indie label vs. major label" debate, but plenty of bands have made the leap to a major label with perfectly legitimate results. Some have spent their entire careers on major labels. It's one thing if the band of your early-days yearning just went on to make some shitty albums. That totally happens -- Google "The Replacements" for proof.
But hating a band just because they make a little more money than they used to doesn't mean you're a "real fan," it means you're a selfish prick.
#1. "American Idol Ruined Everything"
Nobody even has to try anymore. You just post a video on YouTube and you're the next Justin Bieber, simple as that. Once people decided that "talent" meant you were good enough to impress Simon Cowell, music was over. What happened to the days when a band had to pay their dues and stuff?
So goes the complaint, anyway. And it kind of makes sense if you think about it (and don't think about basic math).
Translation: "I misunderstand what the word 'success' means."
So, thanks to American Idol and the Internet, you personally feel like you have a better shot at being a successful recording artist than ever before? Just because you have the option of putting your stuff on the Internet or standing in front of a few television producers with a football stadium's worth of other people in line behind you, everything you need to conquer the rugged music business landscape is now at your disposal?
Of course not, because you're still a talentless dullard. People who become successful as a result of American Idol or YouTube do it because they're either moderately talented or so awful that it's kind of fun to watch. In either case, the most that happens is the record company parades them around to a few red carpets and stuff, maybe spends the cash to let them record an album and then unceremoniously dumps them by shooting them in the back of the head behind the Capitol Records building.
The back is super hard to find because the building is round, so it makes for an ideal killing field.
In the big scheme of things, reality show singing competitions and uploaded Internet videos have given us, maybe, two or three really huge stars. Easy access to a group of people willing to judge your abilities and promote them to others has not suddenly made the world more talented, it's just shed a light on the fact that there are a lot more delusional people out there than any of us likely ever believed.
And besides, it's not like getting that record deal that comes with placing near the top on one of those reality shows is a guaranteed ticket to success. If you think different ...

Community-building tip: surprise is the opposite of engagement | Opensource.com
Community-building tip: surprise is the opposite of engagement
In the interview with Chris Blizzard I posted last week, near the end of the article Chris attributes a phrase to Mozilla CEO John Lilly:
"Surprise is the opposite of engagement."
This may be one of the most simple, brilliant things I have ever heard someone say when it comes to creating engaged, active communities.
When we talk about building communities the open source way, we often mention transparency and openness as critical elements of any community strategy. But when I saw this quote, it reminded me why transparency and openness are so important.
When we are open with people, we avoid surprising them. We keep them in the loop.
Nothing kills someone's desire to be an active contributor in a community more than when they feel like they've been blindsided. By a decision. By an announcement. By the introduction of a new community member.
Few things help a community get stronger faster than simply engaging community members every step of the way. Asking them for input first. Ensuring they are "in the know."
When thinking about the community you are trying to create, maybe start asking yourself questions like:
"How can I minimize the number of (negative) surprises?"
"Will this decision surprise community members?"
"Am I maximizing the opportunities to involve the community in decisions?"
"Has the community weighed in on this?"
It's a very simple equation, and therein lies the beauty:
Surprise = less engagement
If you've seen examples of situations where a big surprise has reduced community engagement, please feel free to share them below.
And thanks John Lilly (and Chris Blizzard) for the tip!
5 Comments
I don't have an example of being surprised. But I can appreciate a community that takes that as a major concern in keeping the community strong and efficient. As being someone new (like me) it makes a huge difference when the community has that open arms mentality and is willing to keep people from getting that surprised feeling. It also helps when the community is willing to teach the newer people to learn more and have the risk of being surprised less likely to happen.
I think this has a lot to do with siloed workplaces -- for example where the organizational tech section works in isolation from the community administrators themselves.
Nothing as shocking to a community administrator (and members) as coming into the community and finding unexpected (and unexplained) changes in layout, formatting, functionalities or access rights -- a blatent reminder that the 'open community' ostensibly being built by members according to their own needs is in fact a controlled space completely at the whim of the tech gods.
Or as David Byrne might put it:
You may ask yourself, how do I work this?
You may ask yourself, where is that large automobile?
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife
The latest example that I can think of is Oracle/Sun and OpenSolaris. The community is kept at bay, there are a lot of pieces that are internal and there is a lack of communication that's incredibly damaging to the project. It's a really sad situation giving how many technical features OpenSolaris has. A waste of good engineering and dedication.
"Surprise! Here's the iPad."
I didn't think that a super-sized iPhone is the solution to a new, super-portable netbook/laptop device, but clearly I wasn't being engaged by Apple.
Asif, I think I know exactly what you're talking about. Nothing alienates more than being led to believe you're contributing to an open community, only to come in Monday morning and find your desk has been moved, the walls repainted, and a request by the Authorities to sign a new disclosure/terms agreement.
Time and again, the Sell Side demonstrates to me that no matter where I'm being marketed to (Twitter, Facebook, e-mail contact), it's not consumer engagement, it's Marketing.
People, like children, need to know where the boundaries are. This provides a point of reference to navigate from, push off from, or a goal to push.
When something unexpected crops up, whether it is a loss, blindsided change, critical bug or forgetting your lunch, then your mind has to "recalculate" to fill that void.
People used to navigate using the stars because they were fixed, or predictable. Just because it was "fixed" doesn't mean it held back innovation and new worlds, actually the opposite. They allowed people to travel farther than ever before!

"I love the dough - it is easy to work with. However, the decorating is a bit of a pain, but well worth the try. If it comes out wonky, well, they are for halloween and they should be a bit wonky."

It seems winter finally is arriving. I really appreciated that extended fall, or pre-spring, or whatever you like to call it. The mild weather encouraged many spring flowers to break ground, but now they are going to have to retrench and wait for the proper time to start their above-ground growth.
I spent a few joyful hours this week going through my seed catalogs for the first time, looking for the tag "new." Every summer, I try out something - flower or vegetable - I have not seen before, and I have found some treasures that way.
One deal I am certainly going to accept is an offer from Burgess of a vegetable sampler for $5.99, which includes 12 seed packets including black zucchini and Minnesota Midget cantaloupe, which sound intriguing.
They also are advertising a bush-type acorn squash which is appealing to people like me who have limited space.
Park Seed has a bacopa that grows from seed, and this would be a money-saver. It comes in blue, white or a combination of both colors with a multi-seed pellet offer.
Although it is not new, you can purchase seeds of the Easter Egg plant from this company. It is an eggplant variety, the fruit of which is the size, shape and color of eggs. I always grow some near the sidewalk, and many people walking by stop and do a double-take when they see it.
I also found a new trailing pansy named Cool Wave designed for hanging baskets, which comes in lavender or yellow and was developed by the creators of the Wave petunias.
I am going to take a chance on a new runner bean, Runner Moonlight, which is self-pollinating and supposed to be earlier with a high yield.
There is a new habanero called Maya, which has "tongue-searing heat." Although I don't like hot peppers, I am going to start some for my granddaughter's husband, Tom, who makes incendiary jalapeno roll-ups in the summer time.
Henry Field's is a catalog I have ordered from frequently, but this year it is titled "Gurney's Presents Henry Field's," although the contents seem as usual. Some financial dealings there, I suppose.
They have a salute to healthy eating with three new greens - Winterbur kale, Indigo radicchio and Glory endive.
Salt and Pepper is a new award-winning pickling cucumber which is white skinned and has resistance to powdery mildew.
A new sunflower I am going to order is Bohemian Rhapsody Mix with a mix of bi-color 5-foot flowers.
I am looking for interesting shade plants this year, and Jung Seeds' Polar Splash pulmonaria sounds promising, with silver splashes and speckles on dark green leaves. They come as bareroot plants.
A new clematis, which is rather expensive, is Avant-Garde with large semi-double dark red flowers with frilly lavender centers. Here again, multi-seed pellets are offered. This is evidently the new introduction to be noticed this year, and will be helpful when trying to plant tiny seeds. Jung's has them for some petunias, coleus, bacopa and lobelia.
Gurney's is usually my biggest order, mainly because of their offer of $25 off an order of $50, and this year, I plan to include an extraordinary cauliflower. Veronica Hybrid is a bright lime green with lots of tightly pointed spirals and is said to have good heat tolerance. Worth a try.
If I had the space, I would be strongly tempted to try something called 5-Flavor Berry (no botanical name given). Actually it sounds like something advertised in one of those Sunday paper inserts, but anything offered by Gurney's I have always found to be reliable and guaranteed for a year.
This plant is said to grow 3 feet a year, to reach 32 feet. The red berries are described as bitter, salty, sweet, hot and sour, all at once. If anyone knows what this is, please let me know.

From Mirror reports
ERIE - The Curve franchise recorded a milestone Saturday when infielder Brock Holt became the 100th alum to reach the major leagues in the team's 14 seasons.
Holt was called up by the Pirates after torching the pitching at Triple-A Indianapolis, hitting .432 in 24 games. There have been 426 players in Curve history, and 23.5 percent of them have gone on to play in the big leagues.
Holt had been with the Curve all season before going to Triple-A, and his .322 average for Altoona has him in position to win the Eastern League batting title with two games to go.
Holt has a slim lead over Reading's Darin Ruf, who is at .319. Ruf is trying to win the EL triple crown as he already leads the home run (38) and RBI (103) races.
Holt's former team clawed its way back to .500 Saturday night as the Curve beat Erie, 4-1, at Jerry Uht Park. Altoona has won 11 of 14 to pull its record even at 70-70 with two games left.
Stefan Welch led off the sixth inning with a home run to give the Curve a 2-1 lead. Left fielder Andy Vasquez, who was just called up from high-A Bradenton, doubled home Jeremy Farrell and scored on an error for a 4-1 cushion.
Kyle Kaminska (1-0), also just called back up from Bradenton, gave up just one run in six innings for the Curve. He took the roster spot of lefty Kris Johnson, who was promoted to Indianapolis.
Jeff Inman pitched the ninth for his third save. Starter Jared Gayhart (1-6) took the loss for Erie, which has the EL's worst record at 57-82.
Former Curve pitcher Gerrit Cole made his Triple-A debut Saturday night at Indy. He allowed three runs in the first inning but followed with five shutout frames and earned the win as the Indians rallied past Toledo.
Cole gave up three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and one walk.
Game recap
Key player: RHP Kyle Kaminska allowed only one run in six innings for the win.
Key play: 3B Stefan Welch's leadoff homer in the sixth put the Curve on top to stay.
Key stat: With INF Brock Holt going up to Pittsburgh, the Curve have now sent 100 players to the major leagues.
How they scored
Bottom 4th: Lennerton doubled, scored on Douglas single (0-1).
Top 5th: Maggi singled, scored on Lambo sacrifice fly (1-1).
Top 6th: Welch solo homer (2-1); Farrell singled, scored on Vasquez double (3-1); Vasquez scored on Lennerton error (4-1).

They are role models. They are leaders. They are legends.
That's how the seniors on this year's Penn State team forever will be remembered.
Not because they play football. Not because they're going to win any championships. Not because some of them might go on to productive pro careers.
In the face of enormous adversity over the past year, all the Nittany Lion football players - and especially the seniors - have etched their names in Penn State lore by representing their university with tremendous class and dignity.
Saturday, the seniors will play the final game of their PSU careers, and this week undoubtedly will present them with opportunities to reflect publicly and privately on their time in Happy Valley, how it became an unhappy place to be during the Jerry Sandusky scandal and how they helped in their own way to try and bring back some semblance of normalcy.
The football players found themselves thrust in the middle of a terrible ordeal, yet they held their heads high, served as outstanding spokesmen for the university and showed the rest of the world through their words and actions - why there is still much to be proud of at Penn State.
For all those reasons, it would be easy to make the case that this is the greatest senior class in college football history. Others have won more, claimed championships and the like, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any class of college athletes ever that has endured more hardship and yet shown more character than these Penn State kids.
Remember, that's what they are, too, is kids. Young adults, if you will, but still not adults.
And it cannot be overstated how much better these kids have handled themselves during the scandal than many of the adults who were in charge and/or responsible for it reaching epic proportions.
There are many great, memorable names in PSU football history, such as Heisman Trophy-winning running back John Cappelletti, star quarterbacks Kerry Collins and Todd Blackledge, star running backs Curt Warner and Ki-Jana Carter and, of course, many star linebackers such Jack Ham and Paul Posluszny.
Decades from now, players such as defensive tackle Jordan Hill, linebacker Gerald Hodges, fullback Michael Zordich and quarterback Matt McGloin will be household names among Penn State fans for the leadership they've shown over the past year.
Then there's Michael Mauti. He's in a class of his own.
I was struck by a comment from colleague Neil Rudel on Saturday when he said, and later wrote, that Mauti is the greatest leader in Penn State history. Given that Neil has covered the program for more than 30 years and knows its history as well as anyone, that is remarkable praise for Mauti.
It was devastating to see the senior linebacker injure his left knee Saturday against Indiana. A stunned silence fell over Beaver Stadium when he went down, and while journalists are supposed to be unbiased, I'll admit that I had to fight back tears, knowing all that Mauti has been through with the scandal and two other major knee injuries.
Mauti is a terrific football player, but he is a better person. And we all can only hope he has a speedy recovery and gets to enjoy a good NFL career.
As for the rest of the seniors, some will play professionally, while others will go onto other walks of life. They deserve success, and here's wishing that for them.
They've earned it, just as they've earned everyone's respect.
I don't believe Bill O'Brien is going anywhere after this season. And I fully understand why he got a little testy when pressed about the issue Saturday. His team had just won a game and has its final game of the season coming up, so he didn't want to discuss what he believes to be a non-issue.
But O'Brien was asked a yes-or-no question about whether he will be back at PSU, and he didn't directly answer it. Until he does, he will keep getting asked, and there will continue to be speculation about his future. That's just the way it goes.
O'Brien's future will be THE biggest issue of the offseason for Penn State, and his name probably will keep getting mentioned every time an NFL job opens up after the season.
He's in a no-win position, really. It's tough for him to flat out say he's coming back when he doesn't know what type of offers might be on the table, yet by failing to acknowledge he definitely will return, it further fuels the speculation.
Stay tuned.
The students deserve a lot of credit for turning out in big numbers Saturday for a bad opponent during their Thanksgiving break. Shows a lot of commitment.

Title: The Muppets Animal Drummer (link)
Publisher: Walt Disney
Released: December 15, 2009
Cost: $1.99
iTouch?: Yes
Pros: The Muppets; good graphics; great music and sounds; fun, addictive and simple gamplay
Cons: None
Review: From Disney Interactive Studios, Enorbus and the Muppets Studio comes The Muppets Animal Drummer, a rhythm based game that has its roots in the electronic board game Simon in which you must repeat Animal's drumming sequence in (near) perfect rhythm, so it differs from the Dance Dance Revolution genre in that you must remember the sequence rather than reacting to it in real time.
