Fun Slides Carpet Skates from Simtec (a division of PlaSmart) let kids slide and skate across the carpet. Like a pair of skates, the bottoms of the carpet slides feature an ultra smooth base with grippers on the front for traction when needed. To wear, place your heel against the back elastic strap then secure with the top strap so that it sits across the top of your foot. To start sliding/skating, simply push off like you would on a pair of ice skates, moving from foot to foot.
If you've ever slide around the kitchen floor in your socks, these fun slides mimic that same feel. What we like about these though is that unlike actual skates, no balancing skills are required. Although you can still slip and slide in the wrong direction. We don't think it completely mimics the feel of actual skating since when you push off you can't go nearly as far, it can still be a lot of fun.
Fun Slides Carpet Slides are for ages 6 and up.
Wear flat bottom rubber-soled shoes such as sneakers for best use.
Fun Slides work best on low pile carpet and sliding with the carpet grain. The faster you skate, the easier it is to glide. The skates do not work on tile floors.
The skates are advertised as one size fits all, but we've found that they work best for kids.

Web 2.0 style integration has become the norm with REST and SOA-based APIs – WebSockets may provide the speed and scale necessary to make it the perfect answer to infrastructure integration challenges
One of the concerns that arose early in the days of discussing Infrastructure 2.0, aka Dynamic Infrastructure, was the performance of integration methods. While collaboration across and between infrastructure components as a means to combat volatility and rapidity of change in the infrastructure made sense, what was harder to envision was a way in which such integration could be realized without compromising on performance.
Traditional data center infrastructure components were already adopting web-based integration methods – SOA, REST, etc. – but the reliance on HTTP was troubling. The synchronous nature of HTTP posed one challenge, which cascaded into more pedantic issues of idempotency, consistency, and the like.
While HTML5 WebSockets may not be wholly appropriate for public-facing web applications for a variety of reasons, it may be not only appropriate but advantageous for use in intra-data center integration. By addressing issues of synchronicity (WebSockets is asynchronous by design) as well as performance through the elimination of HTTP headers and provision for transferring data in binary formats, HTML5 WebSockets combines the simplicity of a REST or SOA-based API with higher performance.
This is particularly evident as cloud and virtualization-based architectures continue to integrate more thoroughly to streamline provisioning and management processes and automate operations. As diverse systems attempt to coordinate to enable a comprehensive application architecture deployment – complete with required infrastructure services such as acceleration and optimization as well as load balancing – the need for better performing methods of integration become necessary.
But problems abound with traditional web-based integration, especially where bi-directional communication is required. With traditional HTTP, such communication required either polling or two separate communication channels, requiring a significant investment in integration efforts on both sides of the integration.
The problem is that web-based integration is primarily one-sided; it's used to integrate remote content into a site, and therefore the one-sided nature of such a pull of information makes HTTP appropriate for such an integration. With infrastructure integration – particularly when it's focused on automation and orchestration of on-demand provisioning of services – is not so much pulling information as it is invoking operational tasks. Infrastructure integration is about instructing other components to execute a task, while information integration is about, well, aggregating information. The difference in goals means that traditional web-based integration methods, while preferable for its cross-platform agnosticism and ease of use, is not so desirable when the goal of the integration is part of a larger, orchestrated process.
Infrastructure integration needs a message bus. HTML5 WebSockets offers the same agnosticism and ease of use as HTTP, but with the characteristics more often associated with a message bus – a more publish and subscribe-based model than the polling one associated with HTTP and Web 2.0.
Thus, infrastructure integration will likely turn to HTML5 WebSockets to realize the high-speed intra-data center collaboration required without sacrificing the simplicity of a web-like integration paradigm.
Could SPDY provide the same benefits? Yes and no. SPDY is more geared toward accelerating and optimizing communications occurring across the web, particularly those originating over mobile networks. It does provide performance-enhancing benefits, but it does so without stripping HTTP to a bare-metal set of frames wherein data is wholly contained within frames that have no identifiable markers. That means more work for end-points – which will unduly task resource-constrained mobile devices – that may ultimately result in a net-loss of performance. SPDY maintains a balance between taking advantage of existing, optimized parsers with a reduction in content that addresses latency in transfer times. It's simply not enough for intra-data center integration needs, but more than enough to provide a performance boost for mobile clients.
As noted in SPDY versus HTML5 WebSockets, SPDY is far more appropriate for public-facing web applications than is HTML5 WebSockets for reasons above and beyond performance. But HTML5 WebSockets is far more appropriate as an intra-data center message bus for infrastructure integration.
Round peg. Square hole. You know the idiom, and in this case, the shoe fits.

Augustine's "Confessions": The Biography of a Bookby Garry Wills
In this brief and incisive book, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills tells the story of the Confessions--what motivated Augustine to dictate it, how it asks to be read, and the many ways it has been misread in the one-and-a-half millennia since it was composed. Following Wills's biography of Augustine and his translation of the Confessions, this is an unparalleled introduction to one of the most important books in the Christian and Western traditions. Understandably fascinated by the story of Augustine's life, modern readers have largely succumbed to the temptation to read the Confessions as autobiography. But, Wills argues, this is a mistake. The book is not autobiography but rather a long prayer, suffused with the language of Scripture and addressed to God, not man. Augustine tells the story of his life not for its own significance but in order to discern how, as a drama of sin and salvation leading to God, it fits into sacred history. "We have to read Augustine as we do Dante," Wills writes, "alert to rich layer upon layer of Scriptural and theological symbolism." Wills also addresses the long afterlife of the book, from controversy in its own time and relative neglect during the Middle Ages to a renewed prominence beginning in the fourteenth century and persisting to today, when the Confessions has become an object of interest not just for Christians but also historians, philosophers, psychiatrists, and literary critics. With unmatched clarity and skill, Wills strips away the centuries of misunderstanding that have accumulated around Augustine's spiritual classic.
Bomb Powerby Garry Wills
From Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills, a groundbreaking examination of how the atomic bomb profoundly altered the nature of American democracy and has left us in a state of war alert ever since. In Bomb Power, Garry Wills reveals how the atomic bomb transformed our nation down to its deepest constitutional roots-by dramatically increasing the power of the modern presidency and redefining the government as a national security state-in ways still felt today. A masterful reckoning from one of America's preeminent historians, Bomb Power draws a direct line from the Manhattan Project to the usurpations of George W. Bush. The invention of the atomic bomb was a triumph of official secrecy and military discipline-the project was covertly funded at the behest of the president and, despite its massive scale, never discovered by Congress or the press. This concealment was perhaps to be expected in wartime, but Wills persuasively argues that the Manhattan Project then became a model for the covert operations and overt authority that have defined American government in the nuclear era. The wartime emergency put in place during World War II extended into the Cold War and finally the war on terror, leaving us in a state of continuous war alert for sixty-eight years and counting. The bomb forever changed the institution of the presidency since only the president controls "the button" and, by extension, the fate of the world. Wills underscores how radical a break this was from the division of powers established by our founding fathers and how it in turn has enfeebled Congress and the courts. The bomb also placed new emphasis on the president's military role, creating a cult around the commander in chief. The tendency of modern presidents to flaunt military airs, Wills points out, is entirely a postbomb phenomenon. Finally, the Manhattan Project inspired the vast secretive apparatus of the national security state, including intelligence agencies such as the CIA and NSA, which remain largely unaccountable to Congress and the American people. Wills recounts how, following World War II, presidential power increased decade by decade until reaching its stunning apogee with the Bush administration. Both provocative and illuminating, Bomb Power casts the history of the postwar period in a new light and sounds an alarm about the continued threat to our Constitution. .
Bush's Fringe Governmentby Garry Wills
One of America's foremost historians looks at the state of American democracy and the influence of the Catholic Church. How is it possible for minorities to rule majorities? An answer can be found by looking at both George Bush's Republican Party and the Catholic Church. Bush's Fringe Government is an inquiry into how an extremely conservative fringe in these organizations, although in the minority, have a disproportionate influence on a broad range of issues, and use their influence to govern the majority. By exploring the ways in which the election of Pope Benedict XVI has increased the influence of very conservative Catholics in the Vatican, Garry Wills offers a lucid and striking explanation of the political coalition between Catholics and evangelicals - a partnership that has been instrumental in electing Republicans in the United States and keeping conservative issues in the forefront of American political discourse. As Wills puts it, "How do you govern an apostate nation? When the entire culture is corrupted, the country can only be morally governed in spite of itself. A collection of aggrieved minorities must seize the levers of power in every way possible. One must govern not from a broad consensual center but from activist fringes of morality." Juxtaposing Karl Rove and the Bush administration's political strategy to that of conservatives in the Catholic Church, Wills' examination of extremist fringe elements is a major piece of political analysis by one of our most highly regarded commentators. Its timely publication is essential reading for the 2006 elections in the United States.
Certain Trumpets: The Nature of Leadershipby Garry Wills
In his Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Lincoln at Gettysburg, Garry Wills reframed our understanding of Lincoln the leader. Wills breathed new life into words we thought we knew and revealed much about a President so mythologized but often misunderstood. He showed how Lincoln's personality was less at issue than his followers' values and Lincoln's exquisite ability, in a mere 272 words, to reach them, to give the whole nation "a new birth of freedom," and to weave a spell that has not yet been broken." "Now Wills extends his extraordinary quality of observation and iconoclastic scholarship to examine the nature of leadership itself, perhaps history's most pivotal and emotionally charged topic. Almost the first thing people say about leaders is that we used to have them but now do not. Some blame this on the press, or on television, or on education. Others say we are manipulated, not led. Still others pore over book after book, searching for the perfect exemplar to imitate in order to achieve success." "Wills offers a wide range of portraits drawn largely, but not exclusively, from American history and representing revolutionary, political, religious, business, artistic, sports, and military leaders - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Andrew Young, Napoleon, King David, Ross Perot, George Washington, Socrates, Mary Baker Eddy, Carl Stotz, Martha Graham, Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesare Borgia, and Dorothy Day - each shown in the act of leading his or her followers. And after each example, Wills also provides an anti-type to help define the type better.". "He moves beyond the traditional study of elected officials and business giants, past the usual emphasis on glamour, forceful personality, or technique, to look at leaders of different scope and particular talents. Wills shows how leaders are shaped by the very circumstances in which they must shape others' actions. No one, after all, can be a leader without followers. Only the vital interplay of wills between leaders and followers can direct them both toward a goal." "In Certain Trumpets leadership is not a static pose but becomes an exhilarating partnership. Once again Garry Wills has transformed the lens through which we see our leaders, our society, and ourselves.
Chestertonby Garry Wills
"Part of a literary circle that included H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Hillaire Belloc, and Max Beerbohm, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) wrote essays of social criticism for contemporary journals, literary criticism (including notable books on Browning, Dickens, and Shaw), and works of theology and religious argument, but may have been best known for his Father Brown mysteries. Chesterton's interest in Catholic Christianity, first expressed in Orthodoxy, led to his conversion from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism in 1922. His classic Saint Francis of Assisi and the equally acclaimed Saint Thomas Aquinas confirmed his reputation as a writer with the rare ability to simultaneously entertain, inform, and enlighten readers.

Confessionsby Garry Wills Augustine Of Hippo
Garry Wills is an exceptionally gifted translator and one of our finest writers on religion. His bestselling Penguin Lives biography, Saint Augustine, received widespread and glowing reviews, many of which noted his masterful translations of the famed fourth- century bishop's works. Now, reading with fresh, keen eyes, Wills applies his unparalleled talents and his superb gifts of analysis and insight to this ambitious and complete translation of Saint Augustine's Confessions. Removed by time and place but not by spiritual relevance, Confessions is one of the most resonant texts in the Western canon, and continues to influence contemporary religion, languages, and thought.
Confessions of a Conservativeby Garry Wills
Part autobiographical account and part essay on the subject of politics, written by on Garry Willis -- one of America's best political writers.
The Future of the Catholic Church with Pope Francisby Garry Wills
The New York Times bestselling historian takes on a pressing question in modern religion--will Pope Francis embrace change?Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope and the first from the Americas, offers a challenge to his church. Can he bring about significant change? Should he? Garry Wills, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, argues provocatively that, in fact, the history of the church throughout is a history of change. In this brilliant and incisive study, Wills describes the deep and serious changes that have taken place in the church or are in the process of occurring. These include the change from Latin, the growth and withering of the ecclesiastical monarchy, the abandonment of biblical literalism, the assertion and nonassertion of infallibility, and the erosion of church patriarchy. In such developments we see the living church adapting itself to the new historical circumstances. As Wills contends, it is only by examining the history of the church that we can understand Pope Francis's and the church's challenges.From the Hardcover edition.
Head and Heart: American Christianitiesby Garry Wills
An examination of Christianity's place in American life across the broad sweep of this country's history, from the Puritans to the presidential administration of George W. Bush. The struggle within American Christianity, Garry Wills argues, now and throughout our country's history, is between the head and the heart: between reason and emotion, Enlightenment and Evangelism. Why has this been so? How has the tension between the two poles played out, and with what consequences, over the past 400 years? How "Christian" is America, after all? Garry Wills brings a lifetime's worth of thought about these questions to bear on a magnificent historical reckoning that offers much needed perspective on some of the most contentious issues of our time. A religious revolution occurred in America in the 18th century, one that saw the emergence of an Enlightenment religious culture whose hallmarks were tolerance for other faiths and a belief that religion was a matter best divorced from political institutions--the proverbial "separation of church and state." Wills shows us just how incredibly radical a departure this separation was: there was simply no precedent for it. To put this leap in perspective, Wills provides a grounding in the pre-Enlightenment religion that preceded it, beginning with the early Puritans. He then provides a thrillingly clear unpacking of the steps, particularly Madison's and Jefferson's, by which church-state separation was enshrined in the Constitution, and reveals the great irony of the efforts of today's Religious Right to blur the lines between the two. In fact, it is precisely that separation that has allowed religion in America to flourish since the disestablishment of religion created a free market, as it were, and competition for souls led to the profusion of denominations across the length and breadth of the land. As Wills examines the key movements and personalities that have transformed America's religious landscape, we see again and again the same pattern emerge: a cooling of popular religious fervor followed by a grassroots explosion in evangelical activity, generally at a time of great social transformation and anxiety. But such forces inevitably go too far, provoking a backlash as is happening right now with the forces of Creationism and the anti-abortion fundamentalists. Garry Wills closes with a penetrating dissection of the Religious Right's current machinations and the threat they pose to the enlightened religion that has proved to be such a fertile and enduring force throughout American history. But in the end, Wills's abiding message is to be vigilant against the triumph of emotions over reason, but to know that the tension between the two is in fact necessary, inevitable, and unending.
Henry Adams and the Making of Americaby Garry Wills
One of our greatest historians offers a surprising new view of the greatest historian of the nineteenth century, Henry Adams.Wills showcases Henry Adams's little-known but seminal study of the early United States and elicits from it fresh insights on the paradoxes that roil America to this day. Adams drew on his own southern fixation, his extensive foreign travel, his political service in Lincoln's White House, and much more to invent the study of history as we know it. His nine-volume chronicle of America from 1800 to 1816 established new standards for employing archival sources, firsthand reportage, eyewitness accounts, and other techniques that have become the essence of modern history.Adams's innovations went beyond the technical; he posited an essentially ironic view of the legacy of Jefferson and Madison. As is well known, they strove to shield the young country from "foreign entanglements," a standing army, a central bank, and a federal bureaucracy, among other hallmarks of "big government." Yet by the end of their tenures they had permanently entrenched all of these things in American society. This is the "American paradox" that defines us today: the idealized desire for isolation and political simplicity battling against the inexorable growth and intermingling of political, economic, and military forces. As Wills compellingly shows, the ironies spawned two centuries ago still inhabit our foreign policy and the widening schisms over economic and social policy.Ambitious in scope, nuanced in detail and argument, Henry Adams and the Making of America throws brilliant light on how history is made -- in both senses of the term.
James Madisonby Garry Wills
A bestselling historian examines the life of a Founding Father.Renowned historian and social commentator Garry Wills takes a fresh look at the life of James Madison, from his rise to prominence in the colonies through his role in the creation of the Articles of Confederation and the first Constitutional Congress. Madison oversaw the first foreign war under the constitution, and was forced to adjust some expectations he had formed while drafting that document. Not temperamentally suited to be a wartime President, Madison nonetheless confronted issues such as public morale, internal security, relations with Congress, and the independence of the military. Wills traces Madison's later life during which, like many recent Presidents, he enjoyed greater popularity than while in office.
John Wayne's Americaby Garry Wills
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lincoln at Gettysburg brings his eloquence, wit, and on-target perceptions of American life and politics to this fascinating, well-drawn protrait of a twentieth-century hero. In this work of great originality-the biography of an idea-Garry Wills shows how John Wayne came to embody Amercian values and influenced our cultoure to a degree unmatched by any other public figure of his time. In Wills's hands, Waynes story is tranformed into a compelling narrative about the intersection of popular entertainment and political realities in mid-twentieth-century America.
The Kennedy Imprisonment: A Meditation on Powerby Garry Wills
For more than a decade, The Kennedy Imprisonment has stood as the definitive historical and psychological analysis of the Kennedy clan and its crippling conception of power.
Lead Time: A Journalist's Educationby Garry Wills
The Pulitzer-winning Wills (Lincoln at Gettysburg, Why I Am a Catholic) updates his 1983 memoir with a slightly puzzled new preface: "As a sedentary old man, sitting at a desk and writing, I find it amusing to read about a younger self with the energy to chase around reporting on demonstrations, riots, communes, conventions, and political brawls," he writes. The eloquent essays that follow were written between 1968 and 1982, spanning culture, politics, and social mores; presidents, protesters, and religious figures.
Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words that Remade Americaby Garry Wills
The power of words has rarely been given a more compelling demonstration than in the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln was asked to memorialize the gruesome battle. Instead, he gave the whole nation "a new birth of freedom" in the space of a mere 272 words. His entire life and previous training, and his deep political experience went into this, his revolutionary masterpiece.<P><P> By examining both the address and Lincoln in their historical moment and cultural frame, Wills breathes new life into words we thought we knew, and reveals much about a president so mythologized but often misunderstood. Wills shows how Lincoln came to change the world and to effect an intellectual revolution, how his words had to and did complete the work of the guns, and how Lincoln wove a spell that has not yet been broken.<P> Pulitzer Prize Winner
Making Make-Believe Realby Garry Wills
Shakespeare's plays abound with kings and leaders who crave a public stage and seize every opportunity to make their lives a performance: Antony, Cleopatra, Richard III, Othello, and many others. Such self-dramatizing characters appear in the work of other playwrights of the era as well, Marlowe's Edward II and Tamburlaine among them. But Elizabethan playwrights were not alone in realizing that a sense of theater was essential to the exercise of power. Real rulers knew it, too, and none better than Queen Elizabeth. In this fascinating study of political stagecraft in the Elizabethan era, Garry Wills explores a period of vast cultural and political change during which the power of make-believe to make power real was not just a theory but an essential truth. Wills examines English culture as Catholic Christianity's rituals were being overturned and a Protestant queen took the throne. New iconographies of power were necessary for the new Renaissance liturgy to displace the medieval church-state. The author illuminates the extensive imaginative constructions that went into Elizabeth's reign and the explosion of great Tudor and Stuart drama that provided the imaginative power to support her long and successful rule.
Martial's Epigramsby Garry Wills
One of literature?s greatest satirists, Martial earned his livelihood by excoriating the follies and vices of Roman society and its emperors, and set a pattern that satirists have admired across the ages. For the first time, readers can enjoy an English translation of these rhymes that does not sacrifice the cleverly constructed effects of Martial?s short and shapely thrusts. Martial?s Epigrams ?bespeaks a great scholar at play? (The New York Times Book Review), makes for addictive reading, and is a perfect?if naughty?gift. .
Mr. Jefferson's Universityby Garry Wills
The University of Virginia is one of America's greatest architectural treasures and one of Thomas Jefferson's proudest achievements. At his request his headstone says nothing of his service as America's first Secretary of State or its third President. It says simply: "Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia." For this political genius was a supremely gifted artist as well, and of all Jefferson's stunning accomplishments, the school he built in Charlottesville is perhaps the most perfect expression of the man himself: as leader, as architect, and as philosopher.
A Necessary Evilby Garry Wills
In A Necessary Evil, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Garry Wills shows that distrust of government is embedded deep in the American psyche. From the revolt of the colonies against king and parliament to present-day tax revolts, militia movements, and debates about term limits, Wills shows that American antigovernment sentiment is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of our history. By debunking some of our fondest myths about the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the taming of the frontier, Wills shows us how our tendency to hold our elected government in disdain is misguided.
Negro President: Jefferson and the Slave Powerby Garry Wills
n "Negro President," the best-selling historian Garry Wills explores a controversial and neglected aspect of Thomas Jefferson's presidency: it was achieved by virtue of slave "representation," and conducted to preserve that advantage. Wills goes far beyond the recent revisionist debate over Jefferson's own slaves and his relationship with Sally Heming to look at the political relationship between the president and slavery. Jefferson won the election of 1800 with Electoral College votes derived from the three-fifths representation of slaves, who could not vote but who were partially counted as citizens. That count was known as "the slave power" granted to southern states, and it made some Federalists call Jefferson the Negro President -- one elected only by the slave count's margin. Probing the heart of Jefferson's presidency, Wills reveals how the might of the slave states was a concern behind Jefferson's most important decisions and policies, including his strategy to expand the nation west. But the president met with resistance: Timothy Pickering, now largely forgotten, was elected to Congress to wage a fight against Jefferson and the institutions that supported him. Wills restores Pickering and his allies' dramatic struggle to our understanding of Jefferson and the creation of the new nation. In "Negro President," Wills offers a bold rethinking of one of American history's greatest icons.
Nixon Agonistes: The Crisis of the Self-Made Manby Garry Wills
From one of America's most distinguished historians comes this classic analysis of Richard Nixon. By considering some of the president's opinions, Wills comes to the controversial conclusion that Nixon was actually a liberal. Both entertaining and essential, Nixon Agonistes captures a troubled leader and a struggling nation mired in a foolish Asian war, forfeiting the loyalty of its youth, puzzled by its own power, and looking to its cautious president for confidence. In the end, Nixon Agonistes reaches far beyond its assessment of the thirty-seventh president to become an incisive and provocative analysis of the American political machine.
Outside Looking In: Adventures of an Observerby Garry Wills
A captivating memoir from the incomparable Garry Wills, "one of the country's most distinguished intellectuals" (The New York Times Book Review) Illuminating and provocative, Outside Looking In is a compelling chronicle of an original thinker at work in remarkable times. With his dazzling style and journalist's eye for detail, Garry Wills brings history to life. Whether writing about the civil rights movement, 1960s protests, or close-up studies of the people who have shaped our world, only he could bring together in one book Barry Goldwater, Daniel Berrigan, Beverly Sills, Richard Nixon, and John Waters. Wills shares, as only the best raconteurs can, stories of the fascinating people he has closely observed during more than fifty years of reporting. .
Papal Sin: Structures of Deceitby Garry Wills
Wills (history, Northwestern U.) characterizes the modern papacy as steadfastly unwilling to face the truth about itself, its past, and its relations with others. Citing the Holocaust, discrimination against women, the assertion that natural law dictates its sexual code, and other matters, he argues that even when the Vatican tries to be honest, it ends up resorting to historical distortions and evasions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The Rosaryby Garry Wills
The rosary is the symbol of Catholicism and Garry Willis shares his personal practice of it with the reader while meditating on its significance in our age where its rhythmic repetition encourages practitioners to retreat into reflective peace. He reflects on the gospel stories that are used as subjects for contemplation for each section of rosary beads. This personal and religious study is further enhanced by the author's own translations of Christian scriptures and the inclusion of images from the Renaissance artist, Tintoretto.
Saint Augustine: A Lifeby Garry Wills
Pulitzer Prize winner Garry Wills brings the same fresh scholarship, lively prose, and critical appreciation that characterize his well-known books on religion and American history to this outstanding biography of one of the most influential Christian philosophers. <P><P> Saint Augustine follows its subject from his youth in fourth-century Africa to his conversion and subsequent development as a theologian. It challenges the widely held misconceptions about Augustine's sexual excesses and shows how, in embracing classical philosophy, Augustine managed to enlist "pagan authors" in the defense of Christianity. The result is a biography that makes a spiritual ancestor feel like our contemporary.

Shanghai fare dodgers face punishments that could stop them from buying homes
Under new proposals, people without a proper tickets will receive a point penalty in their personal credit record. This may lead to difficulties getting a future home loan or job
Shanghai authorities are considering new penalties for people trying to avoid paying fares when taking the subway, the Chinese media reported.
It is part of a new move to tackle the rising problem of daily commuters finding ways to avoid using proper tickets.
Under the new approach, people caught without a proper ticket will receive a penalty point on their personal credit record. This may lead to difficulties getting a house loan or a job in future, a proposed revision of the Shanghai Administration of Shanghai Railway Regulation suggests.
Those who cheat the subway system will also pay a fine up to 10 times their fare - double the current amount enforced since 2002, it said.
State-run China Central Television in 2011 reported that as many as 20,000 people take free rides in Shanghai each day, costing the operator more than 10 million yuan (HK$12.6 million) a year. Many culprits simply slip under the turnstiles, while others use fake senior passes to go through the gates without paying, the report said.
In a video that surfaced online earlier this year at a Shanghai subway station, which has gone viral, 21 people were recorded in just 90 seconds ducking under the turnstiles and entering without paying.
Critics have blamed lax law enforcement and low penalties for the rampant fare dodging - exacerbated by a huge volume of passengers in one of China's most populous cities.

Kernel Bug Tracker – Bug 23502
Dell Inspiron 15n n5030 laptop alps touchpad is detected as a "PS/2 Generic Mouse "
Last modified: 2013-12-10 22:40:28 UTC
Created attachment 37842 [details]
System Info
The touchpad is partially functional, it moves the cursor around the screen and tapping is seen as a left click and the left and right buttons work but I do not have any horizontally or vertical scrolling. Also since the kernel does not see the touchpad as a touchpad there is no way to adjust any settings for the touchpad. I think the problem is the the /drivers/input/mouse/alps.c script which does not have the information needed for my model of touchpad to be detected as a alps so then it defaults to a "PS/2 Generic Mouse "
I have looked over the internet for a bug report for this which I did find but they where for different models. I have listed the bug reports that I have found.

Just picture this: With every patient, results can be seen in a short time, if the results are positive, overwhelming evidence will accumulate rapidly and lead to FDA approval speed you never have seen before. These are open trials !!!!!! Open trials with results under a microscope. Compare with seeds in your garden, when the plant breaks through the soil and is growing to your favorite vegetable you have with your steak, only totally derailed bashers, super idiots, like the ones we have on this MB, will call this a failure.

Re: .... If we can only make day trader #$%$ or past investors trying to destroy this little company disappear, we would all sleep easier at night.
Like ya said, "Frustration is a good description for Long Term ACTC investors."
So, what urgency existed when you decided to buy ACTC and go long ? Didn't want to miss the boat, bus, plane, or train ? Surely, it couldn't have been ACTCs business model, or did you allow the rabidly optimistic, the unconscionable, and conjecture-based pumpers cloud your judgement ?
: )
Some of us have been holding on to that hope for 7+ years and are a little frustrated. That being said it looks like this is bottoming here and it might be good for a short term trade. If you want to be part of history you better keep yourself in shape. It is going to be a looooong ride.
Trial results are coming out on October 22nd. If you've been holding for 7 years, I'm sure 2 more months won't make a difference. Patience is a virtue.

Phoenix Suns
Suns coach Lindsey Hunter likes dual-threat brothers
The Phoenix Suns didn't make any big deals prior to the NBA's trade deadline, but they're hoping one of the moves they did will reignite some old chemistry.
Phoenix acquired Houston Rockets forward Marcus Morris for a 2013 second-round pick Wednesday evening. Morris, it just so happens, is the twin brother of Suns forward Markieff.
The brothers haven't played together since their junior years at Kansas, where the 1-2 punch led the Jayhawks in scoring.
While Suns coach Lindsey Hunter won't say he expects the duo to do the same in Phoenix, he does believe Marcus brings something to the table.
"I really like his versatility," Hunter said on Arizona Sports 620's Suns Midseason Report. "I look at him as a 3-4 (guy) more so than a 4-3. He's a great off the ball defender."
But like Hunter said, Marcus' versatility allows him to play big down low with his 6-foot-9 frame, yet has the ability to hit jumpers from the wing.
"I just showed Markieff a clip of him two nights ago because he had a great box out against a guy, then he came down and hit a three," Hunter laughed. "I was like, 'Look at your brother box out.'"
The Suns are hoping the brothers will be able to feed off each other like they did in Kansas.
"Just watching [Markieff] and seeing his reaction when this happened, he was a different person and his brother hadn't even arrived yet," Hunter said. "Anything that helps him, or the both of them, is great for us."

1999 Mazda Protege Repair and Maintenance
A guide to problems, costs, maintenance and repair for your 1999 Mazda Protege
Verified by mechanics, reported by drivers like you

Never overpay. Check prices with our estimator
1999 Mazda Protege ProblemsEngine Cranks and Doesn't Start
An electrically shorted air flow sensor can cause a crank-no start condition. Diagnosis may show that ignition spark is normal, and there are no trouble codes stored.
If the engine cranks but does not start, and diagnosis shows no fuel pressure, the fuel pump relay is frequently the problem. If the fuel pump relay is defective, the fuel pump will not energize and therefore, not generate fuel pressure so the engine can run.
A loose or corroded ground terminal on the driver's side of the cylinder head can cause a rough idle, misfires, and there may be trouble codes. Restore the ground to the cylinder head.
1999 Mazda Protege QuestionsBattery light on and engine pulsates. The lights dim then brighten. (1 answer)
Replaced the alternator and had battery checked. All was good. Cleaned all the grounds. Checked all the fuses. Traced the ground cable all connections were good. Replaced the PCM and still have this problem. Any other ideas?

My little sister had a 99 Mazda that was sold with no sound from the radio but the radio lights up. They said all it needs is a new radio so I bought her one and my fiancé put it in and the same thing! But the speakers aren't crackling like they're blown either. Any suggestions?? Thanks

A 'Charcoal' Hell For Brazilians
May 3, 2000
by Francesca Chapman, Daily News Staff Writer
Those of us who consider ourselves experts on the Amazon rainforests because we eat the correct flavor of Ben & Jerry's ice cream could learn a thing or two from "The Charcoal People. " The documentary takes viewers to the starting point of the whole issue: the Brazilian migrant workers who clear-cut the forests and burn the wood for charcoal used to make the commodity pig iron. It's an awful way to eke out a living, but an estimated 60,000 Brazilian men and boys do. It's dangerous: They pull down trees with crude chains or fell them with chainsaws, wearing no more protective gear than T-shirts and shorts.
Gas Or Charcoal? Them's Fightin' Words
May 14, 1997
by Gary Thompson, Daily News Staff Writer
Although the two-fisted, brawling newspaperman went out of style with the typewriter, a fight nearly broke out the other day between the Daily News beer columnist, Joe Sixpack, and the Daily News movie critic, yours truly, on the subject of grilling. This is not unusual. Men have been fighting over charred meat since Joe Neanderthal first put a rabbit on a stick and held it over a fire. Since then, of course, some evolution has occurred. Neanderthal and his knuckle-dragging descendants developed into Joe Sixpack, still charring his meat over coals, while the rest of us became Homo sapiens, improving life with things like the wheel, the Industrial Revolution, cable TV and the propane-fired, dual-burner barbecue grill with multiple warming racks.
S. Californians Cooking Their Last With Charcoal Fluid
July 4, 1991
By John Woestendiek, Inquirer Staff Writer
Tom Welbourn was packing heat. The hot dogs and pasta salad were still in the cooler, the beach blankets were spread on the sand and the sun was dipping into the Pacific Ocean when Welbourn reached into a bag for what was needed to really get things going - one can of Springfield Charcoal Lighter. A few liberal squirts and the toss of a match and presto - he had an inferno crackling in his beachside barbecue pit. As the flames danced, he slid the starter fluid back into his bag, like a gunman holstering his weapon, knowing the day will come when he has to use it again.
Hopewell Furnace Celebrates With A Blast Rangers To Heat Up Forge With Charcoal They Made.
August 4, 1997
By Anthony Beckman, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
Ranger Dick Lahey hoisted a shovelful of soil and masterfully pitched it overhead to land directly on a thin wisp of brown-tinted smoke rising from the 8-foot-tall mound of smoldering dirt-covered wood. In the traditional way, Lahey is slowly burning down the wood to make the charcoal that more than 100 years ago would have fueled the huge ore-melting furnace here. It was all part of yesterday's celebration of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site's 59th birthday. Incorporated into the national park system on Aug. 3, 1938, the 848 acres near Elverson are a monument to early industry in America.
Here Are Ways To Fight Ozone Buildup Consolidate Driving. Avoid Charcoal Lighter. Mow In Evening.
July 22, 1996
By John J. Fried, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The nation may have made great strides against air pollution, but the battle is nowhere near over - especially in the summer. Come the hot months and the levels of ground-level ozone, a major enemy of the respiratory system, soar in the presence of heat. But there is a lot each of us can do to minimize the build-up of ozone, Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection advises. One place to start is the automobile, a prime villain in the ozone drama. Rather than run lots of little errands during the day, we should make extra efforts in summer to consolidate them into one big trip, DEP says.

Rarely can you stare into the eyes of a stranger who brushes past you on the street. Yet there they are, tantalizing windows into a person's soul. Off-limits. The unknown. Donald Stephens is a portal. The charcoal artist meticulously sketches faces, using shadows and furtive glances that reveal despair or hope. You can linger over his painting Street Watch, a study of eyes that depicts the distrust people often feel around strangers. The subject, Stephens said, "is worried because he needs to be watchful.
When Charcoal Ruled Ironmaking Along The Perkiomen Creek The Area Was Rich In The Necessary Resources. One Of The Earliest Furnaces Was At The Present Green Lane.
January 26, 1995
By Joseph S. Kennedy INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
Before coal was king, it was charcoal that fueled the furnaces and forges of colonial Pennsylvania's burgeoning ironmaking industry. A number of those charcoal ironworks were along the banks of the Perkiomen Creek in Montgomery County. For 140 years, from 1730 to 1870, they produced high-grade pig iron and bar iron for the local and Philadelphia markets. "The Perkiomen area had all the necessary resources needed to establish ironmaking works - iron ore and limestone deposits, water power, and abundant wood to produce charcoal," said Frank Hebblethwaite, site historian at the Hopewell Furnace Historical Site in Elverson.

What better way to call adult students' attention to the importance of basic drawing skills than to arrange a drawing show to spotlight regional artists' current activity in that vein? Realizing this, Wayne Art Center got together an inventory that promotes up-to-date discussion on drawing, rather than merely supplying a review of the "major positions" produced by the art of drawing in the recent past. No one tames the fictitious and the bizarre in visions of Greek myths here like Stephen Tanis of Wilmington.
Resources up in smoke Trees are fast disappearing from the Somalian landscape, gobbled up by makers of charcoal. The timber loss means environmental worries in a war-torn nation.
March 18, 2002
By Andrew Maykuth INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Undeterred by a nonexistent government, charcoal producers are stripping Somalia of its trees in a frenzy to feed a ravenous export market. The exploitation is rapidly denuding Somalia, compounding the misery of this broken-down country with complications of soil erosion and desertification, where arable land turns to arid moonscape. Charcoal exports, prohibited before the collapse of President Mohamed Siad Barre's government in 1991 and even banned by some warlords during the civil war, have gone out of control in Somalia's unregulated economy.
Forecast: Good, slow grilling Snuff the gas and let the charcoal glow for July Fourth cookouts, says weather guy and barbecue fan Al Roker. It's the right and relaxing way to do it.

Consider the gas grill, the preferred appliance for six out of 10 Americans who grill. Clean-burning and convenient, ever willing to belch blue flames at the touch of a button, it's ready for duty in the few minutes it takes to walk to the fridge and retrieve some steaks. That is precisely why Al Roker, the sunny storm tracker on NBC's Today show, stopped using one. "My feeling is that we rush so many things today, we don't take time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life," he writes in the introduction to Al Roker's Big Bad Book of Barbecue: 100 Easy Recipes for Backyard Barbecue and Grilling (Scribner, $27.95)

This populous, geographically diverse country offers ingredients from coastal cities, tropical rain forests, wetlands, and grasslands. From plantation staples of sugar cane and coffee to native ingredients such as cashew fruits, pineapple, and ginger, the Brazilian pantry offers a wealth of rustic tastes and sophisticated pairings.
Great grilling is within your grasp
July 5, 2013
TIRED OF taking the heat for your bad barbecuing? Maybe it's time to stop squirting the charcoal with stinky lighter fluid, dude. And who likes their food charred on the outside and raw inside? (Well, me, if it's sushi-grade tuna.) If you haven't shopped for one lately, you'd be shocked at how civilized and reliable barbecues have become. Even old-school charcoal cookers are getting teched up. And some gas-fired grills are almost as sophisticated as professional indoor ranges.
Slow and steady works when smoking meat, too
July 5, 2013
By Barry Zukerman, Inquirer Staff Writer
Southern-style barbecue has long been a passion of mine. On vacation, I've been known to detour for miles for a taste of smoked brisket or pulled pork. But for 15 years, I was forced to live in a state of DIY barbecue denial. There were "no grilling" clauses written into all my Center City leases. The break came when we moved to the suburbs last year. Though the move was too late in the year to start barbecuing right away, I spent the autumn and winter researching how to make authentic barbecue and purchasing the tools I'd need when the weather turned warm.

Your Place: Try stain removers, charcoal for cat urine odor
March 23, 2013
By Alan J. Heavens, Inquirer Real Estate Writer
I don't know what I'd do without Joe Ponessa, the Rutgers professor emeritus who, time after time, for as long as I have been writing this column, has stepped in to bail me out of my ignorance. This time, it's about cat urine, an issue that a reader asked about a few weeks back. Cat urine is an especially difficult contaminant to deal with, especially if it's a long-term problem, he says. While Ponessa is not sure anything would fully eliminate odors from long-term staining, there are a couple of easy things he suggests trying before resorting to some kind of coating.
Beach barbecues a rare treat for Labor Day
September 4, 2011
By Jacqueline L. Urgo, Inquirer Staff Writer
VENTNOR, N.J. - Here's a riddle: Why did Mike Cunningham and Bob Shelley cart two grills, a smoker, a hundred pounds of charcoal, and 70 pounds of meat to the beach Saturday? Answer: Because they could. During one of only a scant number of weekends each summer, in one of the few Jersey Shore towns that ever permit barbecuing on the beach, the friends invited 40 or so other friends to celebrate Labor Day weekend eating on the sand. With the roar of the sea only steps away and the salty, consistent breeze presenting a bit of a fire-starting challenge, the two arrived at the New Haven Avenue beach by 8 a.m. to survey the situation and set up. They joined dozens of others up and down the beach barbecuing Saturday in the Ventnor section of an area south of Atlantic City known as Downbeach, which consists of the towns of Ventnor, Margate, and Longport.

For the Yardley old-timers who've known this riverside luncheonette for nearly four decades as Charcoal Steaks n' Things, a go-to diner for pit-grilled burgers, turkey clubs, and Western omelets, the breakfast and lunch menus are still "safe. " After all, owner Anton "Tony" Plescha, who took two years to rebuild this institution (now elevated 10 feet above ground) after a devastating Delaware River flood in 2006, still happily mans the a.m. griddle. But when the dinner hour arrives and Plescha's executive-chef sons, Mark, 28, and Eric, 26, take over, the BYOB now known simply as Charcoal morphs into a kitchen of ultramodern ambition heretofore unexpected in this quaint Bucks County borough.
Martha Stewart: Do some grate cleaning before barbecuing
June 11, 2010
to burn off any food. Then turn off the heat and immediately scrub the grates again. Check drip pans. Empty and clean the large one that catches food monthly if you grill often (wear rubber gloves and wash with a scrubbing sponge and dishwashing liquid). The smaller, disposable one below it catches grease. Replace it with a new aluminum pan when it is half full. Just before grilling season, do a more thorough cleaning. Turn the burners on high, close the lid and let the grill run for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on how dirty it is. Turn the burners off when the residue has burned down to a white-gray ash that can be brushed away easily.
