I am just wondering can wubi 11.04 make windows unbootable in anyway and what harm can it do to my PC. Also, if I force shut down in wubi ubuntu can it damage windows?
WUBI is pretty safe: it creates one file on the Windows disk, and new boot menu entries, but doesn't change partitions. You should always be able to boot back to Windows, and an abrupt shut down might corrupt the Linux filesystem but nothing outside of that.
Nothing in life is entirely without risk. You should, as always, have backups.
The main kind of risk that Wubi mitigates is needing to repartition, or reinstall, or to install a new boot sector. Those aren't very risky, but they can be hard to undo if you instruct the installer to do the wrong thing (eg to delete Windows) or if you change your mind.
Wubi can harm your PC as every program can and can not.
The most serious damage for a common desktop PC is a harddisk-failure, which can occur independent from your OS. So you need a backup.
And if you have backups, nothing can really harm you.
Wubi is the safest way to have a second OS without having to make irreversable modifications. I have yet to see a noticable difference between a Wubi install and a native partition. The downside is that it requires Windows for Ubuntu to operate. A native partition is the better option, because if Windows crashes, you can boot-up to a working operating system.
Ubuntu is very powerful and it makes it easier to take control. You can just as easily be productive as destructive. Windows (or a Mac) are designed with many more precautions that make it harder to accomplish basic tasks, but harder to hang yourself. With Ubuntu, you kind of have to know what you're doing to a much greater degree than if you're using a commercial OS.
I probably did damage to the file system of my "safe" computer, the one I use for backups because it has a RAID 1 disk configuration. I didn't know that RAID is not supported by Ubuntu. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I tried reading about the install for hours before I actually did it, and I didn't find out about this unsupported configuration until after I had done the damage and was searching through the help.
This OS definitely gives you a lot of power, but it could also give you just enough rope to hang yourself!

Third free Killzone: Shadow Fall multiplayer map now available, trailer and screens insideWritten by: / / 1 Comment
One of Killzone: Shadow Fall's notable features is that all the current and future multiplayer maps released for the game are available free of charge. The first map pack containing two new multiplayer arenas was released at the beginning of March and now Guerrilla Games has made a new map available called The Canyon.
The map is now available to download from the PlayStation Store and is described as follows:
"Situated deep within one of the Petrusite fissures scarring planet Helghan, The Canyon is all that remains of the once-stately palatial quarters in the city of Pyrrhus.
"Held in place by struts and bridges, this precariously balanced range of rock and crumbling infrastructure now serves a new purpose for the Helghast. Enormous mechanical pumps pierce the cityscape, syphoning the Petrusite that seeps up from the fissure to the surrounding mining spires."
Interestingly, The Canyon multiplayer map introduces a new gameplay element with gravity wells positioned at various points around the arena. These wells consist of anomalous zones where the planet's gravity field is severely distorted which allows players to reach higher ground by essentially falling upwards.
Here's a trailer for the new map along with some screens:

James 2:17 says that faith is not enough. Does that apply to salvation? Is belief (or faith) in Jesus Christ enough to be saved, or is one expected to act on that faith? If works are required for salvation, what is the threshold of that action. Does this threshold vary by denomination?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This question cuts to the core of an apparent conflict between the teachings of James and Paul. Here's some of the relevant scripture:
On the surface, it seems that James states that it is works, not faith that is the ultimate source of imparted righteousness. while Paul clearly states that works are useless and only through faith is righteousness and salvation attained.
The key is to put these writings in their proper context.
Paul in many of his writings is addressing Jewish Christians, those who came from a fairly orthodox religious background. Orthodox Judaism is highly legalistic and works-oriented, believing that salvation is achieved through strict adherence to the law. When Paul is talking about "works", he is referring to the legalistic code of Old Testament laws that continued to be a stumbling block to early Jewish Christians. And he is clear that adherence to the law is not a path to salvation. Only faith in Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the OT law with His death and resurrection, leads to salvation. Jesus' freed us from the bondage of sin as laid out in the law.
James on the other hand is addressing a different audience... he is addressing Christians who have faith in Christ and yet have taken their freedom from the law to the extreme. They are claiming that because of their faith in Jesus Christ, they have no need of any law and can behave any way they wish without fear for their salvation for their faith is sufficient.
Jesus clear on the matter of how we should live lives of faith:
Christ dwells in us through the Holy Spirit, and the "fruit" of the Spirit is "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance" (Galatians 5:22-23). These fruits are "works", not works that garner righteousness or salvation, but works that grow properly out of a life strongly rooted in faith.
And so you see there is no conflict between Paul and James. Paul is teaching legalistic Christians that salvation is only achieved through faith, while James is teaching Christians who use their faith to justify living sinful lives.
The proper life of faith (living branches of Christ's vine) will naturally tend towards good works (bearing fruit) and that if you don't see these works, you have to question whether their faith is authentic.
Pauline-Lutheran answer
According to Paulus and later Luther's doctrine, faith is enough – it's the famous Justification by faith alone. Realizing that, Luther changed from a late scholastic to a reformer. The realization is based on Romans 1:17 (NIV), which says:
This does not release one from doing good works. But: Good works cannot do anything regarding your salvation. That is, what makes the Pharisees thinking wrong. The Pharisees, certainly admirable persons, thought that they could obtain God's grace by following God's commandment in really each situation.
For Luther not believing to be justified by works means accepting God as the unconditional giver.1
1: "plus possit et velit dare, quam ego intelligo et peto".
Calvin's answer
Similiar statements can be found in John Calvins doctrine (Although the justification by faith is more important for Luther). In his Heidelberg Catechism the following can be read:
Todays Roman-Catholic answer
Today, there's an agreement between the Lutheran, Roman Catholic and Methodist church concerning the justification. It's the "Joint Declaration On the Doctrine of Justification"
The answer is very simple if you understand causality.
If the cause is faith then the effect must be good works.
Another effect of faith is justification. (Ephisans 2:8-9)
Thus justification is caused by faith not by works. However a good tree that produces bad fruit can not be called good. In the same way faith does not exist without producing good works.
You also have to understand that belief and faith are different
Most people seem to be answering the question "Is belief in Christ all that is required to be saved?", whereas the question was "Is belief in Christ all that is required to be a Christian?". This is an important distinction, unless you believe that someone is not Christian unless they will be saved.
I agree that belief in Christ and faith in Christ are not the same thing, but I do not think that those whose faith may not be perfect should be classified as non-Christian. The word "Christian" does not deal only with belief and faith but with family, culture, and identity. In that regard, the final judgement will not be exactly the same for all those whom we consider to be Christians.
Allow me to adjust the question slightly.
Is salvation based upon faith/belief alone?
In order to answer this question we need to better define the word Faith. I believe that in today's society faith has been dwindled down to just belief. So much so, that when people hear the word faith that they think it just means belief.
In Hebrew the word faith is emuwn which means: trusting or to trust. In Greek faith translated is Pistis which means: assurance, the character of one who can be relied on.
The Bible also defines faith in Hebrews 11 and binds this word to having faith in God even when we cannot see him.
Salvation is better understood through election
Without election you have humans which are enemies of God, God haters and lovers of iniquity. Without election you have a human race that is dead in their sin. They cannot come to Christ because they neither know Him nor want to submit to Him.
How can a dead man hear the command that Jesus has given? He couldn't have unless Jesus first gave that man life, so that he could hear.
Without election we are a dead people that cannot hear the commands of God. God has elected a people before setting the foundations of this world. God says that HE calls people to Christ. Christ says that you have come to Him because you have been called by the Father.
God has first given you life, so that you may hear
Before the Father can call you, He must have first elected you and given you life so that you may hear His command and respond to it.
So you see that God has imputed life into you because you have been elected by Him.
God has given you a command, so that you may respond
He has also given you a command so that you may respond to it. He has commanded you to believe in His son whom He has sent.
If you truly hear his command, you will respond with action!
Understand that your actions are based upon your core beliefs. If you truly, truly believe (faith) and trust (faith) and have assurance (faith) in Jesus Christ, then:
Then most assuredly you will do the same WORKS that Christ does. Christ is working and if you believe in Christ, you too will WORK.
What is work?
My children have a responsibility to obey me as a father, but they do not work for me. You as a child of God have a responsibility to SERVE God the Father, but no enemy of God could ever EARN childhood.
The work that Jesus did was LOVE. This is what Jesus did every day of His life, was Love His Father and His neighbors, commanding everyone, everywhere to repent of their wickedness and follow His examples of love.
1 John 4:16
1 John 4:7-8
1 John 5:2-3
You are commanded to Love, have you heard and obeyed?
You see that faith means much more then just believing!
Again! IF you truly believe in Jesus then you will obey him. As Jesus says here
Have you heard Jesus and have you listened and obeyed his command? Even the demons believe that there is one God, but they do not listen to his commands.
Faith and LOVE is your Righteousness in Christ
Those people that refuse the command of God and refuse to Love other people are liars and do not know God. They will not be saved on the day of judgement. Jesus tells us that right here.
The Sheep and the Goats on the day of Judgement are judged based upon what they DID while in the flesh. Mathew 25:31-46
Pertinent Bible verses
James 2 is also important as is practically the whole book of Romans but in detail Romans 3 and 4
In my opinion a faith in Jesus is core to the accepting of Christian truths, but also the bible makes it clear that their is definitely a Christian lifestyle. A accepting of certain morals and ethics that go hand in hand with a healthy Christianity.
Your lifestyle in the end becomes your life through Christ. You do not fit Christianity to your lifestyle as I'm afraid too many people do nowadays. It has to be the other way around.
Hope that helped
Here as some more bible verses that are important to people asking if Jesus is al I need to be a Christian.
The framework of this teaching is:
Response to Enlightenment/Realisation of God's requirements
Just as the dishonest steward realised that he needed shelter to survive after his discharge, Christians realize they need shelter to survive in the afterlife.
Shelter is available only in Christ. To follow him, one must stop following the world. There is only one God, even demons know that and tremble. They have no choice but to continue. Christians claim to know God's will, but continue to follow the World, even when they have a choice. Ordinary people know that following the world will result in destruction, if God exists, and if there is an afterlife. It is the afterlife which makes life meaningful. But they persist in following the world. Their certainty about God is not high. Their certainty that life is meaningless is higher. Also, the attraction of the world is strong. They have set their sight to make the least effort, to enjoy the maximum benefits and to avoid suffering. They are gambling on the absence of God, and His judgment for wasting His gift of life.
What would be the opinion of the world on someone who had intelligence, resources and opportunity, but avoided the path to improve, through pursuit of knowledge, to fulfil their potential as human beings, if the universally accepted idea of a fulfilled person is an educated person? The dismay at reading about the calamities that fall on ignorant people in personal, career, financial decisions makes one wish that people would become as knowledgeable as possible, with whatever ability and opportunity at hand. The idea that some people had opportunity and failed to utilise it leaves a bad taste in the mouth for those who hear of it.
What if the resources to fulfil what God planned for His children was simply a longing for vindication of trusting God for victory of justice, mercy and love, over the rampant selfishness witnessed in the wilderness, and in the secular world? The proclamation of the Gospel is exactly that, selflessness is to be rewarded, the righteous redeemed:
Those who believe that God is the only one to be served, and not mammon, cannot serve the latter anymore. They must serve God, by giving up mammon and following Him. If their confidence is lacking, they must at least use unrighteous mammon to make friends, to ensure shelter in the afterlife.
Belief in the Gospel leads to the giving of the Spirit. The Spirit gifts faith/courage to confess Jesus is Lord. Confession leads to shelter in the Body of Christ in this life. Baptism is recognition by the Body that one is a believer in the coming of the Kingdom, acceptable in the church, and entitled to instruction in the ways of the Kingdom. Justification.
Sanctification is absorbing the teachings and obeying it, agreeing with it leading to the giving of the Spirit who gives faith to follow Christ.
That's the ordo salutis right there. Starting with the Spirit, finishing with the Spirit:
It is not immediate. Some are called early in the day, some late. Even while faith grows, it brings forth fruit. Uncertainty is okay, but as faith grows, so does the fruit. We may not have enough faith to give up everything to follow Jesus, but we can use unrighteous mammon to gain friends. We may not have enough faith or mammon to gain friends but we can still serve God through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Great faith leads to following Jesus.
Little faith leads to supporting His disciples with your worldly goods.
You don't need any faith to serve Him with love.
Judah wrote:
No, no! All the Law must be observed, the minor points as well as the major points. They are the giants that stand between Israel and REST!
Deuteronomy 11:32, Deuteronomy 19:9, Deuteronomy 28:15, Deuteronomy 28:58
Just as the giants are defeated by belief in God, the Law will be fulfilled by Israel, through belief in Meschiach.
Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3 Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God John 3:5
The answer from Catholic dogma is that you must be Baptized, you must hold the entire Catholic Faith and you must be in a State of Grace.
There are two kinds of faith: true faith and false faith. True faith will always produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit and will always be accompanied by compassion and benevolent work (Isaiah 58, Matthew 25). In contrast, false faith is either legalistic or complacent and devoid of any love and compassion.
True faith is God's gift to us:
As a Gentile, Jesus Christ saves you from what exactly? You were never given a Law to keep, so you are not guilty of violating it.
I am not guilty of breaking the French law, since I am not and never have been a French citizen.
As for the Jews, it's stated repeatedly in the Law of Moses that this law is eternal. Which means: it's eternal, not to be changed. Ever. No matter what. It cannot be replaced by believing in Jesus. Unless you assume God is schizophrenic. For example, see Leviticus 23:31 "Ye shall do no manner of work; it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.".
And no, linguistic gyrations such as, "Okay, I guess the law is eternal, only now it's kept through believing in Jesus" don't really work. They are not supported at all by anything in the text. It's like saying, "I don't cheat on my wife, I love her just the same, only through sleeping with my co-worker."

I would like to split something into three parts, is there a phrase I can use with similar overtones to "cleave in twain"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

As far as meaning goes, you can use "cleave in three" or "cleave in thirds". More obscure and inexact is "cleave in terciles" or tertiles. The latter two words are statistical terms referring to "three [ordered] parts, each containing a third of the population" and "any one of the three groups so divided".
The rationale for "cleave in three" and "cleave in thirds" is that twain means two. In its etymology we find it " survived as a secondary form of two" in various cases, and also "in oral use where it is necessary to be clear that two and not to or too is meant."
Regarding other suggestions: My understanding of the many senses of tierce is that while all of them are related to the number three, none of them would make any sense in a phrase like "*cleave in tierce". Trey means "a playing card with the rank of three" or "a score of three in cards, dice, or dominoes".
You could try the verb third. It's really no different from 'halve', but it has something of the archaic flavour you seem to be looking for.
(It goes back to Shakespeare: Two Noble Kinsmen i. ii. 96 What man Thirds his owne worth.)
The closest is probably
Trifurcate. (a bit too equal?) Trisect. (a bit too accurate?) Tripart. Trichotomize. The OED fizzles out after this.
I'll add one more, to the same pattern: trine.
I'm familiar with it mostly in astrology, where it refers to a separation of 120 degrees; a grand trine consists of three planets, each in a different sign, all with separations of 120∘, forming aan equilateral triangle when linked.
And I think cleave in trine would work nicely.
The literal answer is, somewhat boringly, "in three". Tracing the etymology back to Old English when numbers had gender:
But I suppose you are looking for something with a similar "flavor" rather than a strict parallel.
I'd go for tern from the Middle English. Derived from the Latin terni and the French terene.
George MacDonald Fraser in 'Quartered Safe out here' used a term like this. He was asked to destroy a boat with a bazooka and I think (don't have book anymore) I remember a line "Cleave it in twain, thrain if necessary"
You will have to check.

If a person is Jewish by maternal decent, but can't prove it conclusively through documents. Do they need to convert? Do they need normal conversion or giyur l'chumra? What are the steps involved? I read about giyur lechumra, but heard that it can only be done back four generations. Is that true?
Sign up

I don't believe any recognized Beit Din will do giyur, or giyur l'chumra to someone who is otherwise validly Jewish. Typically a Beit Din, if there is a possibility that you are legitimately Jewish, will require that you hire a genealogist. I worked for a while with Vaad HaRabbonim Haolami LeInyonei Giyur under Rav Eliahshiv and have been a part of several cases with the Israeli Rabbinut(as an askan for Rav Ovadia Yosef) and that was the standard procedure. Most commonly it was applied to Sem girls who wanted to marry in Israel and needed definitive genealogical proof of Judaism.
Almost every nation has birth, death and burial records going back hundreds of years. All you would need is to connect the dots, matrilineally to someome buried in a Jewish graveyard(at a minimum). In a case that I was a part of in Philadelphia twelve years ago with Rav Dov Brisman, we had a girl with a genealogists report that gave her matrilineal decent back 7 generations, and that sufficed.
As far as Giyur L'Chumra, how recent(or not) the suspected claim of Judaism is that a Beit Din will want is entirely up to the Beit Din. There is no halakha for it. According to the Shulhan Arukh Y"D 269(and thus the way of the Israeli Rabbinate) a Giyur L'Chumra is only done when there is a prior conversion by an unknown/unrecognized Beit Din, and then only under very specific circumstances. I know that the Israeli Rabbinut has broadened(and at times restricted) that definition over the years. For an understanding of that one would need to look in the various Teshuvot in the Yaskil Avdei starting with volume 4(that is when the Rav became the first president of Beit Din HaGadol), and the various volumes of Piskei Din.

Question #10: Why does Giselle love Albrecht?
Posted 22 April 2001 - 10:33 AM
Posted 22 April 2001 - 03:51 PM
Posted 22 April 2001 - 05:01 PM
I wish people who stage ballets would go back and read the original libretto; they'd get some lovely ideas I think usually stagers start with the one they're used to and fiddle with it to make it make sense OR look at lots of other productions for ideas and put them all together (that is, that's what the ones who think do )
The original libretto -- at least, as rendered by Beaumont -- makes so much sense and is so darned DANCEY. Either he left out a lot, or much has been added. I didn't find a reference to a weak heart. Giselle likes to dance, i.e., play, instead of working, and her mother tells her to stop dancing, that she's dancing too much and will come to a bad end. "Just one more dance, mother. Just one more," she says.
Many of the edges of Romantic ballet were buffed off and sentimentalized later in the century, and Giselle seems to have changed from a spirited, shallow young girl into St. Giselle somewhere along the line. It's not in the Beaumont I have now, but I remember reading somewhere that when Hilarion asks her, basically, "So what's he got that I haven't got?" (hinting, inexhaustible supply of rabbits, a good job, a better hut) she says, "He is beautiful and you are not."
If Albrecht has his epiphany in watching the terrible results of his flirtation, Giselle herself was redeemed, saved from Wilidom -- a whole tribe of girls who didn't listen to their mothers -- because she is struck by Albrecht's sincere sorrow and repentance. There's a bit of humanity (Christianity, in this world) left in her and that's what saves both of them.
Posted 22 April 2001 - 05:20 PM
The REASONS, IMO, that Giselle's mother doesn't approve of Albrecht are 1)he's a stranger and not enough is known about him; 2)he's encouraging Giselle to dance instead of following more serious persuits; 3)she wants Giselle to marry Hilarion. Hilarion is a forester and is, therefore, of a slightly higher social order than the rest of the peasants. He has access to the "fruits" of the forest - small game and wood - which are forbidden to the other peasants, and so is "wealthier". Giselle, by marrying him will never go hungry and will have a more comfortable life than she would if she married an ordinary peasant boy. Hilarion is also somewhat older, and so he can be expected to be steadier and behave in a more mature fashion than the rest of the "boys".

As I didn't have much knowledge of the details of Giselle, I was surprised when Kent's Giselle touched the silk dress of Bathlide on the first performance day, and suspected whether Giselle is a material girl, eager to wear an expensive dress, and further Giselle loves Albrecht due to his wealth or social status which he might have exuded. I abandoned such suspect when I could clearly see Kent's face the other day, because her Giselle was so pure and innocent that I came to believe that she touched the dress wholly because she wanted to look prettier to Albrecht in such a lovely dress as a girl who just fell in love, and such innocence of desire might have moved Bathlide to give her gold necklace to Giselle. Maybe somewhat influenced by Kent's Giselle, who seemed pure and thoughtful, I wished to find a more favorable interpretation for Giselle, expanding her dance-loving character to more general beauty or art loving nature.

Or, indeed, a movie by Tim Burton: Johnny Depp as Hilarion, Bonham-Carter as Myrtha, and that couple from Twilight as Albrecht and Giselle. Natalie Portman could be a convincing Giselle. But only if her career survives Black Rac..., er, Swan.

Interesting questions. Is it possible that he doesn't want to call attention to himself -- or to his unfamiliarity with village dances?
If Albrecht is so keen on dancing why in many versions does he seem to demur for a moment when she asks him to dance with her? Modesty that he isn't any good? That he'd prefer to watch her dance than join her?
One of the serious confusions of Act I for me is just how far Albrecht is perceived as -- or believes that he is perceived as -- a part of village life. Is he, for instance, seriously trying to disguise his origins. Given a social structure in which the barriers between peasant and nobleman were vast and almost always unbridgeable, wouldn't public dancing just call attention to his other-ness.
Granted, this is one of those happy-go-lucky cartoon peasant communities (so beloved by 19th-century ballet makers) in which most people don't notice much, unless it involves a murder, sucide, violent weather, invasion by pirates, or something on that order. But, even allowing for that, Albrecht might reasonably fear that exposing himself on the dance floor might convince at least a few of them -- not just Hilarion -- that he is NOT one of them.

Greg Forster: The Research Conclusively Supports School Vouchers
School choice opponents frequently claim vouchers don't improve recipients' academics, hurt public schools, cost taxpayers, increase segregation, and even reduce civic unity. A new report reviewing the highest-quality research on all these topics concludes the opposite is true.
Greg Forster is a senior fellow at the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, and a contributor to Jay Greene's widely-read education reform-pop culture blog. He joins the podcast to talk about the research on school choice, how to judge if research is sound, why people continue to claim school choice is harmful despite the evidence, and how allowing people freedom of association increases their civic engagement and respect for others' rights. You can read Forster's research here: "A Win-Win Solution: The Empirical Evidence on School Choice."

Remembering a bleak Jan. 22
I vividly remember Jan. 22, 1973. Richard M. Nixon had just been inaugurated for a second term. That thought depressed me. Lyndon Johnson, a virtual exile in Texas, died of a heart attack. And the news of a breakthrough in negotiations to end the Vietnam War commanded attention. It seemed we might get our POWs back.

cool except all the products on sale are ugly
Remember the Olympic debacle? All made in China.
not a deal at all, all full priced and over priced to give the illusion of a discount, laughable.
it says extra 40% off and offers links for men, women, kids, and home. I clicked home and then it shows the home items are "up to 25% off".. no mention of add'l 40% .
Didn't check men, women, or kids section but for home, this is not valid/ offered
Edit: I found the "add'l 40% off section" of the home sale. It's a small selection but it does exist ...

When I press the "full-screen" button in Google Books, about a third of my vertical space is still taken up by various toolbars. This makes it extremely difficult to read efficiently. Is there any way to remove these toolbars in "full-screen" mode?
The new "reader" Google eBook interface is quite minimal, and if you use f11 you can make it extremely full screen. Here's Google eBook Reader I get by clicking the reader button...
and here's the old traditional Google Books UI I get when I click the book cover itself:
What seems to works for me (I am currently using Firefox, if that is of any relevance) is this:
I admit this is not a very practical solution and it shrinks any other Google books sites you have open, but it is another way of fixing the problem.
I hope some of this works for you!
Jeff's answer is correct, but unfortunately it only applies to the so-called eBooks in Google's collection, as those are the only ones that have the red "READ NOW" button in the left panel.
However, I have found a simple workaround that seems to provide this same functionality to other books (if they offer preview privileges): place the parameter
to this:
(By doing this, you will exchange the ability for scrolling through books for that of page turning, but the benefit is additional screen real-estate at the top of the page.)
I also prefer kmote's solution when it works, but it only works for books that google has added on to google play. I have written a small Greasemonkey script to make the full-screen button on google reader behave the way it should.
In Firefox, go to Tools → Web Developer → Inspect. When you click on it, you will have the ability to select HTML objects and select "Delete Node" from a drop-down menu. You can use this to delete all parts of the page except the book.
You can also take each element and hide it or delete it by using F12. It works on Google Chrome.
Just right click the element you want to hide or delete and then select "

5 Scientific Ways To Make Water Do Magic
Science has proven that much of the universe is made up of badassery. You can find it all around you, including in something as simple as water. You just need to know the tricks to unleash it.
So here are some badass things you can do with water that seem to cross the line between science and magic. And best of all, they're all completely safe!
#5. Water Can Explode, With No Explosives
OK, this one is incredibly dangerous.
This involves "superheating" water, by getting it way beyond the boiling point without having it actually boil. It's easier than you think, since actual boiling, that is bubbles escaping hot water, can only be achieved with a "seed" (say a point, preferably sharp, where bubbles can form). Normally, minerals in the water and imperfections in the surface of the container are more than enough for this to happen.
However, distilled water has no such minerals, and if you put it in a relatively smooth container and stick it in the microwave, the water can be heated beyond the normal boiling point and will remain perfectly still.
Then, you toss in an object in and watch it explode:
You're watching the boiling process happen all at once, in a fraction of a second, in a way that will result in boiling water flying back into your face. Do we need to tell you that if you must try this at home, to only do it with adult supervision and proper safety equipment? Do we really?
Because we have a feeling that no matter what we say, some of your are going to try this, and that at least one of you, for some reason, will do it nude.
#4. Water Can Climb Walls and make Bridges
Yeah, this one is also pretty dangerous. We're off to a terrible start here.
Remember that creature from The Abyss that was made of sentient, free-moving water? Well you can create a little version of that thing, and all you need is two adjacent containers of water and a bunch of electricity.
While this may sound far fetched, its actually quite simple. You see, to get the water from the cathode beaker to the anode beaker... actually, it's completely bizarre and we think the guys who discovered this aren't really sure why it works either. It seems to have something to do with electrical fields and the "unique structure of water."
But it does work, and apparently requires some mellow music in the background:
A guy with the chick-magnet name Elmar Fuchs, from the Graz University of Technology in Austria, discovered the phenomena. This was presumably while bored and playing with electricity and water, right down the hall from the "Fork and Light Socket" testing room. They found that he could create a free-standing bridge of water that could be stretched to a whopping 25 millimeters--not quite an inch (so don't be expecting water bridges to be the new rage in sky-walks any time soon).
Since electricity and water generally don't mix, in addition to the two beakers and water you may also need some balls as big as a bull elephant's. Or the brain of a garden slug. Either way we figure it's just a few years until scientists can make a water sculpture of Ed Harris.
#3. The Water and Whiskey Anti-Gravity Switcheroo
Speaking of learning the magic of science via alcohol, here's the kind of trick they teach in Bartender School.
This one happens with the help of the only liquid in the known universe with more magical properties than water: whiskey. Pour a shot glass full of whiskey, and another full of water. Slap a playing card over the water, and turn it over on top of the whiskey, like so.
Pull the card aside slightly, and the water and whiskey, instead of mixing, will neatly switch places
This does require some patience though, since the whole thing can take 10 minutes or more.
It works because whiskey is 40 percent alcohol, which is less dense than water. When the water glass is inverted and the card is moved to allow a tiny gap, the water trickles through, unseen. The whiskey, being lighter, is forced out of the lower glass into the upper. Scientists compare it to the jocks kicking the nerds out of the dorm in Revenge of the Nerds.

The 8 Most Mind Blowing Disguises in Nature
Let's face it, we all hate nature to varying degrees and for our own reasons. But surely nothing inspires loathing of the animal kingdom like the fact that its creatures are constantly trying to trick us. We have previously examined some ways creatures like to go undercover as something else, but that barely skims the surface of Mother Nature's horrible bag of tricks. For instance ...
#8. Leaf-Tailed Geckos Are Basically Invisible
Believe it or not, there is a lizard in the below picture:
Wait, is this one of those Magic Eye things?
The thing you can't see is a leaf-tailed gecko, a creature that has evolved to look like bark, leaves and twigs. It's so good at pretending to be other things that, most of the time, you can't even tell it's there when you're actively looking for it. At least, until it blinks. Here it is without the branch:
Oh. Gross.
It's pretty obvious, right? So where did it go?
What is this, a snipe hunt?
These "so good at disguise it looks like Photoshop" geckos are from the island of Madagascar, which is where Mother Nature went after taking a handful of hallucinogens, producing affronts to sanity like the aye-aye and the comet moth. It also appears that everything else there is secretly a gecko somehow.
There are 10 different species of leaf-tailed geckos in Madagascar, not that you'd ever notice. Each one has developed camouflage extremely specific to its corner of the island. Some of them look like palm fronds ...
... and some of them look like dead leaves ...
Mother Nature has exceptional attention to detail when she lays off the weed.
... but none of them look like something you want to accidentally put your hand on, which is too bad, because they could literally be anywhere. Did you take a good look at that chair before you sat down?
#7. Frogfish Hunt With Fake Lures
Robert Weilgorski, Wikipedia Commons
You might need to have a second look, but there's something in this picture that isn't a lump of coral. (Hint: It's the part with the face.)
If you can call that a face.
Frogfish, or angler fish, scuttle around on every tropical ocean floor in the world except for the Mediterranean. Quite frankly, they have no right to call themselves fish, being that they don't have scales and don't even really swim, preferring to "walk" with leglike front fins. When they stop moving, they look like corals and rocks and other inanimate sea floor detritus.
"Has a clown been pooping around here?"
They want to make themselves invisible because of their unique strategy for getting food -- they have a fishing lure attached to their face.
NOAA Photo Library
Hey, frogfish, you got a little something on your ... never mind.
Imagine you're walking down the street and suddenly you see a sandwich hovering in front of you. Hovering sandwiches being your favorite kind, you reach out for it, and are instantly devoured by a nearby monster disguised as a minivan. That's what small sea creatures have to deal with every day.
"Be careful, Carl, I'm pretty sure that's the face-eating type of coral."
#6. Crab Spiders Wear Ants as Hats
Paulo S. Oliveira and Ivan Sazima
"Turtle ants" don't actually look anything like turtles. They're a mean-looking black ant native to South America. Likewise, the "crab spider" doesn't look anything like a crab, but it does look an awful lot like a turtle ant.
Ant on the left, spider on the right:
April Nobile / Antweb, Thiago G. Carvalho
The ants are the spider's primary food, and so it's to the spider's benefit to look similar so that it can infiltrate its prey's society. But there's one problem ... spiders have two body segments, ants have three. It's like if a spider evolved to infiltrate human society but could only manage to look like a pair of legs and a lower torso. But the crab spider does have an elegant solution to this. And by elegant, we mean murderous and terrifying.
Ant on the left, spider on the right ... probably.
To complete the disguise, it carries around the corpse of a victim for use as both a protective shield and to appear to onlookers as though it's a worker ant carrying around one of his fallen brethren. In short, by grasping the neck of its lifeless prey, it appropriates the dead ant's head and pretends it's its own. Then it's free to wander in and around the colony with its new cadaver bonnet, killing with impunity.
#5. Tawny Frogmouths Look Like Tree Stumps
The tawny frogmouth "bird" is a hideous feathered monstrosity with a massive gaping maw and bulging yellow eyes that seem to strip the innocence from whomever they fall upon. Three guesses where this cuddly little bundle of loathsomeness hails from. Sorry, Australia, but seriously, this is starting to get out of hand.
Snapper's Pics
Something this adorable is either poisonous or has a penchant for gouging eyes.
The bird is nocturnal like an owl, so it sleeps during the day when the other monsters in Australia are walking around looking for a quick snack. That's when it relies on its mottled tree bark colored feathers to keep it hidden -- it sits on a dead branch and does what's known as "stumping," which looks like this:
"How many can you find?"
It doesn't just kind of look like a branch, but actively stiffens up, contorts its body like Quasimodo and prepares for a mother of a neck cramp when it wakes up. As a result, you really can't tell it's there unless you go around punching tree branches.

Balmain Fall 2010
Opting for more cleaner lines and less exaggerated shoulders this season, Christophe Decarnin showed a Balmain collection that was inspired by music icon Prince, for this Fall. Seen on the runway were jeans in black, along with some in a purple hue. Also in the collection were sequined and leather pants in red, black, and gold all in the now classic motorcycle style. It wouldn't be a true Prince inspired collection without flared styles, which is a nice contrast from the usual second-skin bottoms that Decarnin usually displays. The designer himself was also seen wearing a pair of his own jeans for his show. Check out some of the styles below.

Sonoma County ranked 5th in the state in 2009 for high school graduates attending California community colleges. More than 60% of the Sonoma County's public high school graduates choose to attend a California community college. In Sonoma County, more than 75% of high school graduates who attend college choose SRJC.
SRJC's Planetarium on the Santa Rosa Campus is one of the largest space science facilities in the California Community Colleges system, serving as an instructional facility for SRJC students, providing programs for elementary, junior high, and high school students, and serving as a theater for public planetarium presentations to the community.
The North Bay Business Journal presented to SRJC the "Best Projects 2006 Award" for the Doyle Library as one of the finest educational facilities constructed. The Doyle Library was chosen for the award by an overwhelming margin by a group of community architects, realtors, and other business entities in Sonoma County. So many groups nominated the Doyle Library that a special award category was created.
SRJC has acted as the host ground station connecting students to space flights, including, most recently, SRJC connecting young hospital patients in Orlando, Florida to Astronaut Clay Anderson on board the International Space Station. The link was made via ham radio on the Santa Rosa Campus this year as the space station made a 9 ½ minute pass over the U.S. Just before the pass, several ham radio experts at SRJC coordinated the telebridge connection between the space station and the Child Life Department at Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando; the students experienced a lively nine minute question and answer session with Astronaut Anderson.
PG&E presented a check in 2006 to SRJC for $136,728 as a rebate incentive for the new Doyle Library's Photovoltaic System Project. The solar panels on the library's roof generate 147 kilowatts of clean, emission-free electricity, which helps reduce SRJC's utility costs significantly.
SRJC supplied almost 1.5% of all California Community College transfer students to both the University of California system and the California State University system – a total of 796 students in 2009–10.
SRJC's Call Child Development Center was designated "Best in the Nation" following two evaluative reviews again confirmed that the high quality care and education by SRJC's Call Children's Center lab school. Three observers from WestEd reviewed the center's Infant Toddler Care methodology and reported the excellence of the program in a detailed 28-page report that pointed to the center's outstanding instruction and services. Every three years, the preschool and toddler infant programs are also evaluated by Child Development Division Consultant using an Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (ECRS) (nationally recognized program evaluation tool) in the preschool, and the Infant Toddler Environment Rating Scale (ITERS) in infant/toddler area. Both ECERS and ITERS scores were among the highest ever scored. These exemplary evaluations and resulting award reflect the skills, caring, and passion of the teaching staff in the Child Development Center.
SRJC's sustainable green commitment and planning continues to make a notable economic and environmental impact to the North Bay region; its success stems from the involvement of SRJC faculty, students, administrators, and staff to ensure the integration of broad green methods in projects. SRJC many new facilities are built with far-reaching green features, such as, geothermal fields and photovoltaic projects on Santa Rosa and Windsor campuses. Recent and future projects that are designed according to LEEDs guidelines to ensure sound environmental practices in building systems, construction materials, furniture, and equipment.
While the majority of SRJC transfer students enroll in the California State University system, the number of students transferring from SRJC to the University of California system increased in 2009-10 17% from 2008-09.
There's been a 50% increase in the number of students studying abroad in the last three years at SRJC. Despite the expenses associated with international study, students recognize the benefits that studying abroad offers, including discovering outstanding curricular opportunities that are tailored for study in particular nations, and having the opportunity to explore other parts of the globe.
SRJC maintains and protects a 13-acre parcel on the west side of Santa Rosa at the old Naval Training Center that is entirely undeveloped and contains a large number of pristine and undisturbed native Valley Oaks. More than ten years ago SRJC's Grounds crew planted acorns collected from local population of Valley Oaks to serve as a future source of trees for the Santa Rosa Campus with their unique genetic adaptation for our climate, soil, and environment. Today at least 30 of these oaks have been moved to various locations on both campuses.
In 2009-10, SRJC awarded 4,308 degrees and skills certificates. The college awarded 4% of the total awards statewide, a higher proportion than its 1.8% of community college enrollment statewide. At graduation 2010-11, 1,355 associate degrees were awarded to graduates and 4,000 career skills certificates from SRJC's 160 job training programs.
Petaluma's Mahoney Library was featured in and on the cover of American Libraries in 2009. The magazine highlighted Mahoney's many innovative aspects of the library in the article "Spotlighting on Design & Construction Feature," including its green, accessibility, design, and accessibility features.
SRJC students outperform their counterparts who transfer from other colleges in California. SRJC students who transfer to the UC and CSU systems achieve higher GPAs and maintain higher retention and persistence rates than transfer students from other California community colleges.
The north boundary of the Petaluma Campus includes a creek called Capri Creek and wetland area that are being protected, lands that will continue to be protected as the campus doubles its capacity in the next several years. The campus also has a capacity for over 90 bicycles have been strategically placed at the parameters of the campus to provide green transportation options for students and staff.
The Petaluma Campus ELL Outreach Team Project was selected as one of the Campaign for College Opportunity's "Best Practices" for reaching underrepresented populations and establishing partnerships with local schools and programs. In response to the growing English Language Learning (ELL) population in Sonoma County, SRJC's Petaluma outreach teams share information in Spanish with families about college admissions, bilingual health careers, financial aid programs, and other college services. With the 17.8% increase in total Latino enrollments on the Petaluma Campus, the program's inter-segmental approach offers an innovative way to reach an underserved population and to "Increase College Access for English Language."
The average district retention rate for SRJC students has consistently varied between approximately 73% and 85% over the last five years, with the highest retention in summer and the lowest in fall.
SRJC's Computer Studies Department has been nationally ranked several times as a "World Class Adobe Training Program." Sharing an industry partnership with Adobe for graphics, Web, and media classes in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash and Dreamweaver, SRJC instructors must pass the rigorous ACE (Adobe Certified Expert) industry exam to be approved as Adobe Certified Instructors. SRJC Adobe training programs and instructors are ranked against other training facilities across the globe. Today, SRJC Instructor Cyndi Reese is ranked as one of the top three Adobe instructors in the world.
The Association of Small Business Development Centers representing the 1,100 SBDC offices throughout the U.S. recently honored SRJC's Small Business Development Center at an Annual Conference in Denver. The SBDC received the Northern California "State Star" by the ASBDC for exemplary performance at the SRJC's SBDC. The award was given for consistently exceeding annual goals, developing and sharing resources within the network, and for fiscal and programmatic excellence.
According to Community College Week, SRJC's graduating Dental Hygiene students ranked fourth in the nation on the Dental Hygiene National Board Examination. Graduates from 254 dental hygiene programs in the nation, including two-and four-year programs, take the competitive examination, which is composed of 400 multiple choice questions with case problems with charts, line drawings, and radiographs.
In a report to the Board of Trustees in 2009, it was noted that in the preceding four years, enrollments in online courses increased from 9,870 enrollments (2005-06) to 14,412 enrollments (2008-09), an increase of 46%. In 2010, SRJC offered eight degrees and 24 certificate programs that saw at least half of the coursework taken in the online format.
SRJC's Information Technology Department provides network, server, telecommunication, computing hardware, software, and instructional computing lab support for all college staff and faculty at all college sites. There are more than 50 different servers that use the Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Linux operating systems, plus over 2,500 computer systems in a variety of instructional environments across the college. Faculty, staff, and students had access to multiple digital resources that enhance teaching and learning in all disciplines, including a comprehensive offering of computer software titles, informational services via the Internet and library databases, and local networked services.
In early October, visitors from Community Care Licensing in the Northern California region visited SRJC to observe the environment and practices in of the Call Child Development Center.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
From the Revolutionary War through the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, this book is the first to concisely document and link the often bittersweet experiences of American veterans coming home from war. Richard Taylor delves into memoirs, diaries, and interviews to show how war changed these men and women and how they learned to deal with their experiences. To chronicle their struggles throughout U.S. history, Taylor opens each chapter with a battlefield vignette designed to take the reader back to a given conflict. This is followed by an explanation of the situation at home and the reception veterans faced upon their return, including the evolving response of the federal government to veterans' needs and benefits. Among the issues Taylor explores are social readjustment and acceptance, job training and placement, medical care and disability compensation, education, retirement, and burial. The work also discusses the treatment of women and minority veterans.

NEWTOWN, Connecticut (CNN) -- Attendance was taken at schools across this devastated town on Tuesday as most students returned to the classroom for the first time since the deadly school shooting.
Not everyone was there.
Sandy Hook Elementary students won't resume classes until January, and victims of last week's massacre will never return.
Jessica Rekos and James Mattioli, both 6, were laid to rest Tuesday, while the families of Charlotte Bacon, 6, Daniel Barden, 7, and Victoria "Vicki" Soto, 27, held calling hours, or visitations, for their lost loved ones.
The teacher and children were among the 27 people killed when gunman Adam Lanza shot his mother and then went to the Sandy Hook, indiscriminately opening fire on staff and young students. The rampage reignited a debate about guns in America and sent shock waves through a nation that has seen mass killings before -- but not like this.
"She had an answer for everything, she didn't miss a trick, and she outsmarted us every time. We called her our little CEO for the way she carefully thought out and planned everything," the family of Jessica said about their little girl, who loved horses and asked Santa for a cowgirl hat this year.
"We can not imagine our life without her," they said.
James liked to remind everyone that he was 6 and three-quarters. "He would often sing at the top of his lungs, and once asked, 'How old do I have to be to sing on a stage?'" his family wrote in an obituary.
In an online posting about his funeral, the Mattioli family called James "our beloved prince."
Across town, hearses could be seen traveling along roads with police escorts. Onlookers cried as they drove past. Unlike students at other schools who returned Tuesday, Sandy Hook students are not expected to go back until January.
Their school is a crime scene. The current plan is for them to resume classes next year at the former Chalk Hill Middle School, eight miles away in neighboring Monroe, Newtown Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson said in a letter to parents.
"We need to tend to our teachers' and students' needs to feel comfortable after this trauma in this new place," she wrote.
Teachers may call parents "to invite you to visit Chalk Hill with your child this week to walk around and see the classroom and get familiar with this new Sandy Hook home."
At other schools, students went back to class with their sense of normalcy shattered. They were met by police, counselors and teachers, who all face a tremendous burden.
How do they explain to children what happened? How do they help make them feel safe?
David Schonfeld, a crisis counselor who gave a presentation to Newtown teachers about how to talk to students, said they have to meet children where they are.
"I told them that as far as I was concerned, there was really only one lesson plan that they needed to teach before they broke for the (holidays), and that was to make sure that the children knew that they were safe and that they cared about them and they were going to care for them," he said.
The teachers' union said classes would discuss the tragedy in an age-appropriate manner. Investigators have so far been unable to retrieve data from a computer taken from the home of the gunman, Adam Lanza, a law enforcement official said Tuesday.
It appears Lanza smashed the computer, extensively damaging the hard drive, the official said, adding that the FBI is assisting Connecticut State Police in trying to retrieve data from the computer.
Lanza's mother was shot four times in the head while she slept in her bed, said Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver, also Tuesday.
Adam Lanza killed himself with a shot to the front of his head from a handgun, the medical examiner said.
Toxicology tests are under way to determine whether Adam Lanza had taken medication.

Store generated by Ext Designer
I bougth Ext Designer one month ago. generated code is the one I usually use buildin ExtJs app. For example, I've set up a store
HTML Code:
/* * File: LaboStore.js * Date: Mon Apr 19 2010 07:23:17 GMT+0200 (Paris, Madrid (heure d'été)) * * This file was generated by Ext Designer version xds-18.104.22.168. * [url]http://www.extjs.com/products/designer/[/url] * * This file will be auto-generated each and everytime you export. * * Do NOT hand edit this file. */ LaboStore = Ext.extend(Ext.data.JsonStore, { constructor: function(cfg) { cfg = cfg || {}; LaboStore.superclass.constructor.call(this, Ext.apply({ storeId: 'MyStore', baseParams: {pDate :'',pHeure:''}, autoLoad: true, root: 'data', url: 'http://www.mi2l.net/$EJS310/$Labos/data.php', fields : [ { name: 'Ligne', type: 'string' } ] }, cfg)); } }); new LaboStore();
I've tried : LaboStore.load({params:{start:0,limit:30,pHeure:'10'}});
but I received the message "LaboStore.load is not a function"
What is the syntax to load a store defined as shown ?
Excuse my english, thank's for your help et congratulation for this beautiful product.
19 Apr 2010 4:11 PM #2
LaboStore is a JavaScript class. Because you have provided a storeId to your class you can retrieve it and load it via the StoreMgr.
var ds = Ext.StoreMgr.lookup('MyStore'); ds.load({params:{start:0,limit:30,pHeure:'10'}});Aaron Conran

Hi Aaron,
Naturally, that works. Thank you for having helped me. It is fantastic to create a product like ExtDesigner and help the users to take it in hand.
I see that I have to make progress in JS and learn the classes, It is very kind to help the new users.
Thank you for the time you spend to support !
Greetings from Switzerland.
PS : I've read "Learning Ext JS" and "Ext JS Cookbook" but thy don't cover the basis of JS ...

HABA Kringelring
Product Description
HABA Kringelring is a wooden teething toy with flexible elements threaded on a strong elastic band. It provides gentle twists as your child tugs and pulls on this child-safe toy. Made in Germany.
Babies need multi sensory stimulation early in life. It helps them put "two and two" together. Grasping toys like HABA's Kringelring help very young children meet their basic needs. For example, babies need something hard and safe to bite on while they are teething. This helps soothe their tender gums. A pleasant rattle sound provides gentle and reassuring feedback. Various textures and sounds create association opportunities (this surface is smooth; this thing is hard; when I shake this, it makes sounds), which help babies begin to organize information in their disorganized young brains.
Made Of / Made In
HABA Kringelring is made of beech wood and maple wood using child-safe, non-toxic, water-based paints under rigorous safety and quality controls. Meets or exceeds US federal and European safety standards. Expertly made in Germany.
Manufacturer / Safety Compliance
HABA is a family-owned and multi-award winning German company. It has been making high-quality, open-ended children's toys for over 70 years. HABA has DIN EN ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. These certificates guarantee a high-quality environmental management system, as well as consistent product standards, the compliance of all prevailing safety requirements and the rigorous abidance of all environmental guidelines. HABA complies and often exceeds both the European (EN-71) and North American (ASTM) safety standards. Prior to market placement, materials are safety tested and documented by independent institutes.
The HABA Made in Germany line of toys are manufactured in Bad Rodach, Germany where HABA's worldwide headquarters are located. The wealth of experience, coupled with the latest technologies guarantee consistently high-quality products.
You can pull or twist the colored elements as they are attached together by a strong elastic band. At first, I was concerned that it may pinch my son's little fingers, but there is no concern as the elements are attached tight enough to hold themselves together, yet you can still twist or pull them without real danger of a pinch.

I have a facebook like button on my Full Article page, but I would also like a facebook like button somewhere in the header where it gives the ability to like our "Facebook Page" and have nothing do do with an article on our website, by liking the actual post and sharing it.
I use sharethis for the like button for the article page along with all of our sharing, but i also have a separate area that is just a like button for users to like our "facebook page".
For some reason when the page loads. Sometimes none of the like buttons show up, or sometimes only one shows up, and the other is not there.
Any input or suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you :)

Answered: paging toolbar page not updating
I am using a paging toolbar and if I manually click to the second page it works fine but if I then issue a
store().load({params:{start:0,limit:10}}); the load works correctly, the first 10 records are sent back but the toolbar still says Page 2. Any ideas?
I am using ExtJS 4.1. Thanks.

Actually you don't need to load store with start and limit parameters. All you need is setting pageSize configuration in your store.
Then you can call store's load method without any extra parameters. Store will take care of start and limit paramaters. It'll load store with incremented start parameter on each page load.
30 Dec 2012 11:57 AM #4
The total returned is correct.
I need to reset the start param so it gets the first ten records (which it does) instead of the second ten. Everything on the server side is working correctly. The only problem is the page number doesn't reset to 1 but stays at 2.

That did it. I never would have thought MoveFirst would be the name for the method. It should be SetPage or something similar. Thanks for the help.

As I'm building my business website, I'm using service/price tables at the bottom of each service page to demonstrate to customers/potential clients my other offerings. Of course, given that there are 7 or 8 service pages, each with (according to Google) the same service descriptions below the original content for that service, would this be counting as duplicate content? If so, what could I do about it?
Is the structure of my site's navigation (via price/service tables) considered 'Duplicate Content' by Google?
Unless you are making use of an unnecessary amount of keywords, in my experience this kind of duplicate content within the same domain has no effect on search engine ranking (Nor does it violate the Google's toc).
However, I would be careful with blocks of text (recurring or not) that are highly concentrated in keywords and are seemingly there only in an effort to manipulate search engines. Although I know some webmasters that have been reprimanded for this by Google, I see a lot of websites getting away with this practice.
If the "repeated content" on each page does not take up a significant portion of the overall page content then Google should not detect that the page itself is duplicate. If there is enough other content on the page to determine that the page is uniquely relevant then you should be OK.
Doing a quick
If duplicate content is a real issue for you, you can use either an iframe for that content, or create an picture for it and show it as an image.
But before going through one of these processes, you should check if Google does not list your pages because of their duplicate content in Google Webmaster Tools.
Duplicate content it is considered for some identical content in meta tags, in the source code or in the viewable webpage - that need to be fixed for each of your pages.
If there is pagination from a category for example, it could be used the code from schema.org with
Also, if there is a main page that counts in SERPs, it should be used as a main page and in the canonical tag.

Prosecutors say the review was needed because police weren't going to investigate itself
Saginaw County Prosecutor Mike Thomas said six police officers opened fire as Hall approached
Hall had been arguing with officers when he was shot multiple times, in full view of passing motorists
(CNN) -- Police officers who fatally shot a homeless Michigan man wielding a knife will not face criminal charges, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Saginaw County Prosecutor Mike Thomas told reporters on Wednesday that investigators reviewed police reports, several pieces of evidence -- including audio recordings of phone calls made to police -- and interviewed several witnesses at the scene.
Prosecutors determined that the officers had not acted with criminal intent on July 1 when they opened fire on Milton Hall.
The 10-week investigation was necessary because "the Saginaw Police Department was not going to investigate itself," Thomas said.
Hall's family said he had a history of mental illness.
Hall had been arguing with officers in a parking lot next to a shuttered Chinese restaurant when he was shot multiple times, in full view of passing motorists and while he was holding a knife.
Prosecutors played an audio recording of a call made to police by a woman at a nearby mini mart in which she complained that he had been rude and aggressive, and had refused to pay for items that he removed from the store prior to the shooting.
The woman said Hall spit on someone inside the store, according to the recording.
A female police officer responded to the call and radioed in for backup when she encountered Hall, who was being aggressive and had threatened her with the knife, according to Thomas.
Investigators said Hall refused to drop the weapon, despite police orders to relinquish the knife and came within a few feet of the officers.
"He's coming at us every time we exit the vehicle," according to a female officer's voice broadcast to reporters during Wednesday's press conference. "He wants us to shoot him."
"We can't let him get out of this area," the woman added. "He's going to kill somebody."
Thomas said six police officers opened fire with their guns as Hall approached. The officers had also been equipped with stun guns, though they "aren't 100% effective," he added.
Thomas said earlier at the onset of the investigation that the squad of police confronting Hall opened fire "because apparently, at this point in time, he was threatening to assault police."
Hall's cousin, Mike Washington, told CNN in August that Hall had been jailed for minor offenses such as vagrancy in the past, but, "he was not violent."
Hall's mother said her son was mentally ill. She told CNN on Wednesday that her lawyer plans to release a statement in response to the investigation's findings.
"I have good days and bad days," said the Albuquerque, New Mexico resident. "Today is not a good day for me."
The shooting occurred in a parking lot on West Genessee Avenue, a busy commercial strip on the north side of Saginaw.
In a video purchased by CNN, shot by a motorist from across the street, the 49-year-old Hall is seen arguing with a half-dozen officers. For more than three minutes, he walks back and forth, and at one time appears to crouch in a "karate stance," according to the man who captured the scene.
Multiple shots are heard in the video.

The Pill for Irregular Periods?
Q: My daughter is 11 years old and has already started having her period. It's been 6 months and her periods have been irregular, ranging from 2 to 6 weeks in between. I know that this is common in the beginning. I want my daughter to see a doctor, but my wife thinks it will be too traumatic for her at this young age. I feel that a doctor could put her on some sort of birth control pill. It would be easier for my daughter since she will know when she will be getting her period. Is she too young to be on the Pill?
A: As you mention, it is very common for girls to have irregular periods when they first start. This irregularity can continue for the first year and a half, and does not indicate that there is anything wrong. I would strongly resist the temptation to "treat" it with birth control pills, just for convenience. While the hormones in the pills do help to regulate the cycle, they also can have significant side effects. They should only be used to manage girls who truly have an abnormality (things such as severe pain, ovarian cysts, prolonged periods that lasts weeks instead of days, etc.).
I do think it would make sense to schedule a visit with your daughter's physician or healthcare provider. It would be helpful to have her see her doctor to make sure that she is otherwise healthy. Things such as abnormal weight (too high or too low), stress, thyroid problems, or other hormonal problems can cause the periods to be irregular, but they usually cause other symptoms as well. If your daughter is otherwise well, it is extremely unlikely that there is an underlying problem causing the irregular periods. Her doctor can answer any questions or concerns, and help to educate your family about various aspects of the menstrual cycle.
As for your wife's concern of a doctor's visit being traumatic, I would point out that at this age an examination usually does not include a pelvic or internal examination. The doctor will do a general physical examination, and look at the breasts and vaginal area, but will not do a speculum or manual exam. That would only be done if there were some concern about an anatomical problem or an infection.
