The action has already been specified as proper sanctification and keeping of Shabbat. The song is presumably stating that the reward for this action is great.
In addition to my other answer, the Lev Elyahu brings down another answer from his grandfather the Maharsham:
The halacha states that if a person is, say, lost in the desert and doesn't know when Shabbos is, he counts seven days and then observes Shabbos. We sing כל מקדש שביעי כראוי לו referring to a person observing Shabbos as it appears to him to be the seventh day, or כל שומר שבת כדת meaning someone that observes the proper 7th day. For each of them שכרו הרבה מאד על פי פעלו because we don't judge based on a set standard, rather איש על מחנהו ואיש על דגלו - we judge each person based on their current מצב.
(and while the text there is not indicative of this, it could be that with this explanation איש על מחנהו ואיש על דגלו can be explained literally: we dont judge them both on the same standard because one person is על מחנהו - "in the camp" - and knows when Shabbos is, and the other is על דגלו - "[resting] on his flag", i.e. in a temporary place/in the wilderness and does not know when the real 7th day is)
You can really start your question off on the fist line:
Aren't those two contradictory as well? Are we discussing someone that honors Shabbos "as is fit" or someone that merely abstains from desecrating Shabbos?
Your question is really the answer: we are talking about two different people! The first guy really dose everything he can to honor Shabbos - nice clothing, delicacies, clean house, etc. The second guy dose nothing - he doesn't prepare for Shabbos, his house is a mess, he doesn't cook, he doesn't even change his cloths. All he dose the entire Shabbos is, say, to sleep!
While the second guy didnt desecrate Shabbos per se, his reward is surely much less that the person that treated Shabbos with due respect! Hence, the next two lines: שכרו הרבה מאד - for the first guy, but only על פי פעלו for the second.

Given a function $f:\mathbb{R^n}\to \mathbb{R}$ that can be expressed as sum of roots of polynomials, i.e. $f = \sum_{i=0}^k (p_i)^{1/n_i}$ for some polynomials $p_i$ and integers $n_i$. Can one find a polynomial $p:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ such that in the domain where both function are defined, we have $p(x_1,\ldots,x_n) \geq 0 \Longleftrightarrow f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\geq 0$?
For example, $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$, then $p(x) = x$. $f(x,y) = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}+\sqrt{y}$, then $p(x,y) = x^2+y^2+y$.
However I wasn't able to find one for $f(x,y,z) = \sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}-z$. It could be I just lack the algebraic skills.

Robert "Bob" Milton De Long, 88, beloved husband and father and cherished Popi of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, passed away Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013, in his home in Temple, Texas, with his family at his side. Bob was born Sept. 3, 1924, in Colorado Springs, Colo., to Milton and Laura Proper De Long. He grew up in Woodland Park and Brush, Colo. Bob was a proud veteran of World War II and served in both the Navy and the Air Force during his career. Bob was a member of the 6th Naval Beach Battalion, Easy Red Beach, H-Hour, landing at Utah Beach on June 6, 1944. During a 1999 interview about the landing at Normandy, Bob said "We kicked butts." He participated in the liberation of the concentration camp at Dachau and the Berlin Airlift. He was stationed at Wilford Hall on Lackland Air Force Base and helped to care for our wounded troops during the Korean War. He served three tours in country in Vietnam before retiring from the Air Force in 1966. He then went to work for McDonald Douglas Aircraft in St. Louis. In 1947, Bob married Barbara Cameron in Greely, Colo., and they had three daughters. The family moved with him around the world each time his permanent station changed. Barbara and Bob finally settled in the river valley region of Arkansas, first living in the Boston Mountains, north of Alma, and then moving to Van Buren in 1995. He moved one last time in December 2011 to Temple.
Survivors include his beloved wife, Barbara of Temple; daughters, Lou Ann Porter of Luther, Okla., and Cheryl De Long of Van Buren; a brother, Jackie Joe De Long of Greely; eight grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
Bob was preceded in death by his middle daughter, Laura Kathryn "Kat"; his sister, Betty; and his brothers, Bud, Leonard, Bill, Earl, Theodore, Charles and Ronald Gene.
Memorial service will be 2 p.m. Saturday at Meadow Oaks Baptist Church in Temple.

(Information in the following story is from: The Salina (Kan.) Journal, http://www.salina.com)
SALINA, Kan. (AP) _ Police say someone stole more than 12,000 pills of various pain medications from a Salina pharmacy.
Lt. Scott Siemsen says the theft occurred at Jim's Pharmacy during a burglary early Monday. The medicine was valued at over $16,000.
Siemsen says someone used rocks to break a window at the pharmacy. Surveillance video shows a person wearing a camouflage coat and mask entering the store and stealing the pills and cash. The total loss was estimated at $18,167.
The thief stole Diazepan, Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Fentanyl and Hydrocodone.
The Salina Journal reports Siemsen said a break-in at Salina Dental might have been related to the theft. A window was broken at the business but nothing appeared to be missing. Damage was estimated at $200.

Chicago: Haircuts & Hair Color
Anthony Cristiano: He's great at creating ingenious styles that go from perfectly polished to flirty with a simple switch of the part. $350.
Asha Salonspa Bucktown
Jorie Reeg
1808 N. Damen Ave.
We like to keep pre-cut chatter to a minimum—except when the stylist is massaging our scalp during the conversation. In that case, chat away! Reeg explained that there was a section of hair in the back of our head that had grown longer than the rest of our hair, and she wanted to even things out. When the cutting was done, we had hair we could style in every way imaginable—stick-straight, slightly wavy, pulled back in a ponytail.
This eco-friendly salon is fairly bare-bones, with teal walls, a few vintage birdcages, and a product-refilling station where customers top off empty bottles of shampoo and conditioner.
Gina Dominguez: Using long-bladed scissors, Dominguez does away with wrecked ends and uneven layers, transforming frazzled hair into a healthier, sexier style. $50 and up.
1 E. Huron St.
Charles Ifergan
Aaron Scott
106 E. Oak St.
We usually avoid anything big and bulky—except when it comes to our fine hair. Scott set to work beefing it up with a palmful of Phyto Professional Intense Volume Mousse and an arsenal of large round brushes. He left four perched in our top layers (to boost body) and used another to give our ends a slight wave. Twenty-five minutes breezed by, and we were happily surprised at how quickly we'd gained a newly full—and extra-sexy—shape.
Charles Ifergan
Agnes Lesiak
106 E. Oak St.
Don't let the '80s decor scare you away—Lesiak's efficiency and finesse easily outshone the wall-to-wall mirrors and glaring chrome accents. She performed a thorough inspection of our hair before sending us off for a wash—a reassuring sign for a curly-headed girl. "I want to do something more with what you have," Lesiak proclaimed while removing an inch of frayed ends all around and framing our face with long, angular pieces. Her blowout left us with full, flowing locks, and we knew Lesiak had given us a truly timeless look.
Charles Ifergan
George Zafiris
106 E. Oak St.
Ray Civello: He gives dramatic makeovers using what he calls—no eye rolling—"vision crafting," which is basically asking a ton of questions about your hair texture, styling skills, and life and examining the hair from every angle before delivering the perfect style. $250.
Delle Amiche Salon
Pascal Crucq
980 N. Michigan Ave.
One glance at the ladies-who-lunch crowd at Delle Amiche and we worried that we might walk out with a coif instead of the casual cut we were after. But when we asked Crucq for something that wouldn't give away our age, he said—with a beguiling French accent—he understood completely. He trimmed chin-length angles in the front and shorter, uneven layers all around for a more voluminous shoulder-length style that somehow made us look younger—and not just in comparison to our present company.
Free Nation of Beauty
Minolis Kostantinidis
45 E. Oak St.
We believe in aging gracefully, but the gray around our face made us look old beyond our years. It had to go, but we only had the vaguest idea of the color we wanted. Kostantinidis suggested rich chocolate shades to warm up our chestnut hair and fair complexion. He and his assistant fastidiously applied the formulas, mixed a small batch of color for us to take home, and showed us exactly how to cover the gray at the roots and temples to prolong the time between visits. We walked out feeling infinitely more sprightly.

5 Internet Life Lessons Parents Need to Start Teaching Kids
It wasn't until recently that I fully understood that my kids were as much a part of the online world as me. They play online games, they watch Youtube videos, they visit message boards. Half of their human interaction is going to happen online, maybe more.
Definitely more, for the weird-looking ones.
It's easy for parents to forget this because they're using their own childhood as a guide for what lessons need to be learned and, you know, the internet didn't exist when we were that age.
So kids, here is what you need to know. This is important so pay attention.
I fucking said PAY ATTENTION.
#5. Don't Look Like an Idiot When Communicating Via Text
Kids, never forget that anything you type on the internet can wind up etched in granite for the rest of eternity, for all to see. One impulsive post on Facebook can get screengrabbed and saved and passed around until long after you're in your grave. Keep this in mind when you are posting anything online, anywhere.
If later in life an employer decides to Google your name to find some free background on you, he or she has access to every little retarded thing you ever posted on Facebook or Twitter. It's not like having a conversation in Meatworld, where everybody will forget what you said by next month, or remember that you were drunk when you said it. Once it's in text, on the internet, every last word is there to read by anyone on the planet with a computer. There are even websites that archive web pages that have long since been deleted from their hosting servers years ago.
I've already broken my own rule here by cursing so much, and using the word "retarded" above. Uh, don't do that.
Also, never be drunk in front of a camera. Ever.
But curse words aside, learn your own goddamn language. Once upon a time you could get away with not knowing the difference between "their" and "they're" because in spoken conversation they sound the same. Online, everybody can see that you weren't paying attention in fourth grade when you mix up "your" and "you're."
Remember that text is going to be how you make your first impression over the internet; if every third word you type is misspelled, people will automatically assume that you're a moron. Even if the public school system fails you, there are browsers that come with spellcheck built-in. Me, I used Microsoft Word to type this article, simply because it checks my spelling as I type.
Also, keep texting shortcuts confined to your cell phone. Everybody understands when you use "2" instead of "too" because you were typing with your thumbs on a number pad. But you cannot let that habit sneak into your work or school emails or even message boards. And there's no reason for it, you have all the time in the world to construct and proofread your message. If you are so pressed for time that you can't spend the extra quarter of a second to type out the full word, you need to get up right away and finish your responsibilities. Don't even worry about closing the window - that would take almost a full second.
It matters. Once you type it, it's there forever.
For. Ev. Er.
Oh, and if you use "lol" in every sentence you type (and I've seen people who use it multiple times, ie, "lol I like dolphins because they're cute lol") I'm picturing you as this cackling moron. If you're really laughing out loud that much you need to be on some kind of medication.
#4. Don't Feed the Trolls
Children, you have been raised in a culture of sitcoms and movie comedies where the ultimate act of coolness is to really put a jerk in his place with a hilarious insult. Therefore, you instinctively think that every jerk needs to be insulted. But communicating online requires you to specifically suppress this urge.
The reason, is trolls. A "troll" is someone who tries to instigate an argument or otherwise get a reaction from you by acting like an asshole. They usually aren't like that in real life, they basically write as a character as a way to get attention. Online, they are usually pretty easy to spot, but most people don't have the ability to react in the one absolute surefire way to shut them down: cold, dead silence.
So, if someone on a message board, or in a chat room, or article comment section posts about how much that particular website sucks and how every member there is an idiot, he's not expecting agreement or for the community to change based on his feedback. He's looking for that community to attack him. He wants the attention. He can't get love from the group, but he can get hate, and even hate is better than apathy.
Therefore, screaming insults at him only ensures that he'll continue doing what he's doing. If nobody responds to anything he says, he'll simply get bored and go away.
"Screw you guys. I didn't want to talk about Mr. Belvedere anyway."
It's so simple, yet incredibly hard to do. Every instinct in your body will scream for you to react, the same instinct that makes the other dogs in a pack attack the one acting like a fucktard. You must resist it.
Before you can even stop to think about what you're going to say, your fingers will be hammering out the perfect combination of letters to "put him in his place." Understand this: if you combined all of the languages from every life form on every developed planet in an infinite number of universes, you would not be able to construct a single sentence that would accomplish this goal.
He's not after an argument. He's after your response. Any response. If you hit that "enter" button, he automatically wins.
Of course it should go without saying that you should never allow yourself to be the troll. Again, it's harder than it sounds. You'll get bored, you'll run into a community that doesn't accept you and you'll see yourself as the wacky Animal House fraternity to their Dean Wormer. You're not. You'll just be the guy who draws dicks on the walls of public bathrooms.
Make some friends, get some hobbies, do something that gets you the right kind of attention so you don't have to resort to being the stain some bored moderator has to clean up.
At least the kids who smoke aren't shitting up our forums.
#3. Don't Use Online Gaming as an Excuse to Act Like an Ass
For a lot of you kids, online games are both your number one hobby and favorite social hangout. This is only going to get more common as time goes on. So a lot of the people you meet in life will be anonymous fellow gamers.
Level 80 Tauren Shaman.
And they are fucking retarded.
In that context, anyway. Now, over time you will be tempted to react and thus join them in their idiocy. You must resist. You have to understand that gaming is a unique social setting, there wasn't really an equivalent for it in society before the technology came along. It's part cooperation, part competition, and in one sitting can involve communicating with people you know in real life, people you know only from gaming with them, and total strangers from the opposite side of the planet. Humans haven't quite figured out how to act in this setting, so they default to acting like shitheads.
For instance, you only get good at a game by screwing up and learning from it, but when this happens, no matter how minor your mistake, people are going to call you some of the most vile, offensive, hate-fueled names you've ever heard. They will wish death upon you, and you're going to have to know how to handle that without playing into their stupidity.
The best way is to politely leave the party. Remember that in most cases, not every member of your group is a flaming douchebag. Many times, there is only one impatient cockhole who is having a bad day, and you're his stress dump for that particular minute.
Like in the previous lesson, you must resist fighting fire with fire. All that is going to do is piss you off and further fuel his rage. No matter what he says, your best bet is to understand that he's unable to be reasoned with, he is an unfixable, insufferable cocksucker, and he is best left behind.
Don't spend too much time hating him, or feeling sorry for him, or thinking about him at all. Maybe he's a nice person in real life, maybe he's a piece of shit and will remain one for years to come. Either way, he is allowing a silly computer game to dominate his emotions. For some people, that's the only reason they play, to get a chance to yell at people because if they did that during the day, they'd get fired.
Don't let him drag you into that state of mind. After leaving the group, are you still mad about what he said and how he treated you? That's natural. Maybe it's time for a break. Don't let yourself become that guy; if you feel the urge to pass on his abuse to someone else, log out of the game and find something else to do for a while. The second it becomes more than a game and starts affecting you emotionally, it's time to consider not playing that game anymore. Also, do not track down and murder other players.

Get down and dirty in the garden
With identity fraud statistics still on the rise, people are turning to shredders to minimize their troubles. Unfortunately, this leaves the owner with a bag full of paper particles and another problem to solve—how best to recycle the leftovers. Sure, there are recycling plants which will accept shredded waste, but they aren't always as accessible as you might hope. Often there are rules and regulations that must be followed before the paper can be reused.
The solution could be closer to home than you imagine. Shredded paper is an ideal substitute for a variety of items used in horticultural chores. Put those fingers to an even greener use and give your old receipts a new lease on life.
People often forget that paper comes from a natural resource. Mixing equal parts of shredded paper and grass results in an easily composted blend. This will be broken down in the same manner as any other garden waste, providing nutrition throughout your ecosystem. Remember to keep the mixture free of moisture, as this can cause the paper to mat together, restricting oxygen diffusion (find more tips in Compost at Home). Try stirring the paper deeper into the heap to avoid this problem.
Paper's water retaining qualities can actually aid the growth of small crops. Peas and beans are conventionally grown in trenches, which promote the formation of longer roots. Shredded paper can be added to the pit of these trenches, as a means of water distribution. The plant's roots absorb water from this layer and allow the produce to thrive. This technique, whilst making the most of your shredded waste, can also reduce the chances of over-watering. As long as the paper is wet, the plant will have a sufficient supply.
Shredded paper is as effective in seed protection as many organic mulches. Spreading it around a new flower bed can suppress the growth of weeds, regulate soil temperature and generally improve fertility. Many newspapers have switched to organic inks in light of this use, but it is always best to check the dyes used in your documents. Start by wetting the strips to encourage the decomposition process and lay them carefully around newly planted crop. The paper will allow fertilizer and water to reach the soil, whilst starving weeds of sunlight and nutrition.
If you want to give your seeds a little more TLC, offer them a helping hand with the construction of homemade seed starters. Blend together water and paper to create a pulp which can then be set in a device such as a cake tray. The molds should only take around 24 hours to dry if left in a warm, dry place. These can be transferred directly to soil, the paper fibers providing the perfect first meal for your seedlings.
Whilst most paper is beneficial to your garden, materials such as cellophane and gloss can be extremely dangerous. Be sure to remove these before you begin mulching or composting so your plants can mature undisturbed.

Our health is the result of a diverse list of factors—which begins with what we put into our bodies. Nature provides all we need to stay satisfied, energized and healthy, and we can grow much of it right outside our doors. Whether you live on a farm or in an apartment; grow a few culinary herbs or your own apothecary garden; enjoy a couple of tomato plants or grow food year-round, use the tips in this issue to step up your garden and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with creating our own food, medicine and well-being.
These simple tips will have you transplanting your seedlings with ease. Photo by iStock.
Starting seeds indoors is a great way to save money. Use these tips when it comes time to move baby plants to their outdoor home.
Handle with Care: Always handle seedlings by their leaves to avoid harming plants' delicate stems, their main lifeline.
Hardening Off: Hardening off gradually introduces seedlings to the conditions in your garden. Bring seedlings outdoors and expose them to a steadily increasing amount of sun, wind and varying temperatures, starting with a couple of hours a day. Do this every day for about two weeks before permanently planting seedlings outdoors.
Prepare your Soil: While your seedlings are hardening off, prepare the planting space by adding a handful of compost to the bottom of each planting hole.
Preparing the soil a week or so in advance of transplanting will ensure the compost is integrated with the surrounding microorganisms in the rhizosphere.
Know When to Plant: If possible, wait to plant until the weather is overcast. The extra moisture in the air and soil will ease the transition into the earth.
Keep them cozy: Plant seedlings in the ground at about the same depth that they were in the container. Planting too deeply could rot the stem. Check that the soil is firm around the plants so that no air pockets dry out the roots. If your seedlings seem delicate, temporarily shield them from wind and cold with upturned flowerpots, cardboard boxes or even buckets. In hot weather, you can use a piece of lightweight cloth as a sun tent.
You will find an array of fertilizers at garden stores, but think twice before you buy: A survey of soil testing labs across the U.S. revealed that garden soils have too much fertilizer more often than too little, and too much can be bad for crops. Opt for natural fertilizers instead. These free fertilizers break down so quickly they can't be bagged and sold, but they enrich garden soil with nutrients perfect for plants and helpful soil microorganisms.
Grass Clippings: Pesticide-free grass clippings make a great organic fertilizer, and help prevent weeds and conserve garden soil moisture when used as mulch—two things other fertilizers cannot do. Just a half-inch of clippings each spring (about six 5-gallon buckets per 100 square feet) mixed into garden soil, or a 1- to 2-inch layer used as surface mulch, will provide all the nutrients most crops need for a full season of growth.
Compost: Compost releases nutrients very slowly. Adding compost encourages many strains of fungi and bacteria to form partnerships with plant roots, helping them absorb and actually manufacture more nutrients, and keeping the soil moist. Each time a crop is finished, spread a half-inch layer of compost over the soil. (Make your own compost and, if you don't have enough, contact a municipal compost center for more.)
Ah, winter. It can be a welcome break from all of the hustle and bustle of the growing season…until the holidays wear off and plain old winter, sans glitter and glam, settles in. The seeds catalogs start to arrive, and occupy our bedside tables and our dreams, as we plan and scheme and imagine all of the things we can't wait to do, just as soon as springtime arrives.
But the catalogs only take us so far. Once the pages are dog-eared and torn, and the highlighters have run dry, what's a gardener to do in the dark days of winter? Never despair, there is always something for an industrious planner to do!
I always have great plans for orderly, clearly labeled plants. And every year I end up with barely labeled planting beds, having to make educated guesses on which varieties are which. If you leave the planning too late, making cute and well-organized plant markers will be the last thing you do. The onslaught of spring brings on a host of much more important tasks—starting the seeds, hardening off the seedlings, and getting everything in the ground and well-cared for before it's too late.
Now is the time to think ahead and make plant markers. This year, I'll finally get around to properly doing my paint stick plant markers by painting them a cheery red with spray paint, and writing the plant names on them with a white paint pen. You could also make similar markers with wooden spoons, or repurpose used canning lids or lids from canned goods. If you're the type of person who likes to have the seed packet handy in the garden, you can always turn clear plastic jewel cases from CDs into a weather-proof sleeve—just tuck the seed packet inside and place it at the end of the garden bed.
If you've got some indoor workspace—like a garage or basement, or even just a corner of the living room with a tarp thrown down—winter is the perfect time to build small projects for the garden. Make a window box or wooden planters. Create your own square foot gardening planting template. Or build a tool crate for toting your hand tools and supplies around. Craft a harvest trug from wood pieces and hardware cloth. If you have the space, you can even build (or repurpose an Ikea bookshelf) your own seed starting shelf—with some hooks, florescent lights and seed starting trays, you'll be ready to start all of your seeds for spring in no time.
Seed tapes are great for planting tiny seeds. They're also really useful for minimizing waste from thinning plants—ensuring you get the most bang for your buck and your time spent in the garden. All you need are a thin paper, a flour and water paste and your seeds. Some paper options you can use are newspaper, toilet paper, paper towels, tissue paper or crepe paper streamers. I'm partial to newspaper, since it's a great way to recycle it after you've read it. The flour paste is easy: Just take about a 1/4 cup of flour and mix in enough water to form a paste (it should be about the thickness of glue). Simply dab the paste onto the strips according to the spacing directions of the seeds you're working with, and drop one or two seeds onto each paste dot. Let the strips dry thoroughly overnight, then gently roll up the strips and store them in Mason jars until planting time. Don't forget to label your strips—unless you like surprises in the garden!
One of my favorite tricks for getting supplies on the cheap is to buy after the season when everything goes on clearance. The best time for gardening supplies is generally late October through November, but you can still find some deals this time of year too. Most stores start to stock their garden centers around Valentine's Day, and prices start to climb. So if you need start starting trays, potting soil or tools. Try to get them now at a good price so you don't have to pay full price later.
Also think about the things you can make yourself—a dollar saved can be better than a dollar earned. Large metal cans are great for gardening. With a coat of spray paint they make a great little pot for herbs or flowers. Just use a nail to poke some drainage holes in the bottom, and paint the outside your color of choice. If you buy a lot of milk in gallon jugs, now is the time to start saving them. They're great cloches for protecting plants and getting a jump start on the season. Just cut the bottom out and you can place it right over your plant.

Speaking of cloches, you can get a head start on spring by using season extenders to grow cool weather crops even earlier. Kale, cabbage, peas, broccoli and lettuce are all great choices. If you don't have milk jugs on hand, think about other things that can be repurposed. The classic option is to build a cold frame from an old window or door. If you don't have any of your own, check out architectural salvage or second-hand home improvement stores. Fish tanks can also be a great ready-to-go option, and these are readily available at thrift stores. Smaller scale cloches can be fashioned from glass cake domes, fish bowls, terrariums, or glass cracker jars. Keep your eyes peeled at second-hand shops—they are loaded with glassware, so finding a collection of unique cloches at a good price should just take a single shopping trip.
So even if there's snow on the ground and temperatures don't climb very far above freezing, there's still plenty of work to do in the garden. And besides, planting season isn't too far off—in about six weeks we'll all start thinking about getting the tomato and pepper seeds started so they're ready to go when the ground finally warms up!

Pruning isn't difficult, but choosing the best tool for the job always makes garden and landscaping tasks easier. This handy list will help you identify which products you need for your plants.
Bypass pruner: most commonly used tool for pruning all types of plants; avoid anvil-type pruners
Hedge shears: ideal for cutting back perennials or shaping plants
Pruning scissors (bonsai-grape scissors): perfect for delicate deadheading of small flower heads
Pruning saw: look for a narrow-tip blade so you can get into tight spots
String trimmers: for large jobs or mass plantings, such as shearing off grasses or herbaceous plants
Learn more about the importance of pruning in A Guide to Pruning Plants.
As the season turns, you may find yourself spending less time in the garden. But now is actually the best time to get your garden in shape for spring. (Read our article Putting the Garden to Bed for Winter for more information.) Organizing where you currently stand, laying a final patch of mulch before winter sets in, cleaning your tools one final time—and more—are all important parts of fall cleanup. Outside of chores, you should also have a little fun in the oasis you've worked so hard on with some simple, innovative projects.
We've collected some wonderful fall garden ideas on our Pinterest page to get you motivated. Check them out!
Once the trees around your home start changing color, don't you just want them to stay that way forever?

Use this method to tuck your garden in for the long winter ahead. Via A Garden for the House.
You've heard these words before, but what exactly do they mean? How do you figure out if a plant is invasive, exotic or native? With a little help, learn which plants will save you a lot of time and trouble in your garden.
Invasive plants are…well, invasive. They take over. They spread like crazy. They can cause devastating ecological impacts, and boy are they hard to remove. Many invasive plants travel via human activity, in bird droppings, or are carried on the fur of animals. Their tendency to multiple at alarming rates is part of what makes them invasive.
Invasive plants crowd out native plants and disturb the delicate balance in a region's ecosystem. Invasive plants and trees are able to flourish outside of their native region. Some can even be dangerous. I know two people that were sent to the emergency room after removing a Brazilian Pepper. The Brazilian Pepper can cause allergic, burn-like reactions.
Some examples of invasive plants in the Southeast region of the country are Brazilian Pepper, Melaleuca and Air Potato. To find a list of invasive plants in your area check out your local extension office, and ask for the Master Gardeners.

An exotic plant is a non-native plant that has been introduced into a new region, but does not cause ecological devastation or have exploding populations. However, when an exotic becomes out of control its classification may change to invasive.
Many ornamental plants are exotic. For example, in South Florida many plants from Southeast Asia do quite well in our subtropical environment, but do not become harmful or spread in an undesirable manner. These exotic plants can be the perfect splash of color you were looking for in your garden, but be conservative and lean towards native plants to benefit and support wildlife and pollinators in your area. For help designing your Florida garden see the Florida-Friendly Landscaping plant database.

Native plants are plants that have lived in a region for a prolonged period of time. There is a lot of controversy about what constitutes a native plant. Many scientists cannot agree on the base line. Some feel that a native plant should be measured by not having direct or indirect human contact. At this point that is very difficult to determine, many native cultures had both direct and indirect influence on many ecosystems. For our purposes we consider plants to be native if they were here prior to European explorations.

Some native plants can act invasive if they are introduced into a new ecosystem. In nature, plants travel at a slower rate so native species are able to adapt and change to the newcomers. As humans wander, build and introduce new plants to North America, some of those plants have found a perfect place to thrive. How they thrive determines if they are invasive or exotic.
Most extension offices have lists and pictures of invasive, exotic and native plants in your area. The extension service and the Master Gardeners are fantastic networks for providing science based information. Feel free to contact them with any garden related questions you may have specific to your area.

How do you beat the dragon in LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 for the PSP? I've tried so many times, but I always end up dying! I can't find how to do it on any websites.
If the PSP version is similar to the other versions, you need to build a bull that contains a bell in order to scare the dragon and remove some of the flames. You can then walk by the flames, which triggers a cutscene, after which you are moved into the Lestrange vault.
If you watch from the 1:05 to the 2:20 mark of this YouTube walkthrough, you'll see how to accomplish it.

I'd like to install BURG but I don't want it to overwrite my MBR. That's because I've got two bootloaders in my system :
- Default Windows 7 in MBR
- Grub in /dev/sda2
With the first power button, it will boot into Windows and with the second button it boots from /dev/sda2, loading Grub and then Kubuntu.
Now I want to replace GRUB with BURG. I've installed Burg with
burg-install /dev/sda2 --force
because I don't want my MBR to be overwritten (pressing the first power button MUST load Windows and avoid showing any sign of Linux).
Setup was completed without errors, If I open burg-manager it loads my settings, allowing me to change them and to test everything with burg-emu, so I've changed my settings but the second power button still loads GRUB (Even a different version from the default Kubuntu one).
How can I replace GRUB that's on /dev/sda2 with BURG and without overwriting MBR?

Morning After Posole
Chef Karel Anne Tieszen
Serving Size : 8
2 poblano peppers -- fresh
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 pounds pork loin -- cut in 1-inch cubes
1 cup onion -- diced
5 cloves garlic -- minced
2 teaspoons cumin powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 jalapeno -- seeded and diced
1 can red enchilada sauce -- 14.5 ounces
6 cups chicken broth
1 bunch cilantro -- (See notes)
1 can hominy -- drained and rinsed
1 large lime -- Cut in 8 wedges
1. Preheat the broiler. Cut the poblanos in half and seed them. Place them on foil, cut side down about 6 inches
under the broiler. Watch carefully.
As the skin blackens and blisters, remove from the oven, place in a produce bag or bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Allow to steam and then cool; about 20 minutes.
After cooled, peel the skins and discard the shiny plastic-like layer. Dice the chiles and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large pot. Add pork loin and sear all edges. Remove pork to a bowl nearby. Stir the onion and garlic into the hot oil, and cook until softened.
3. Add the dried spices and stir into the onions. Next add the jalapeno, diced chiles, enchilada sauce and broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add the pork cubes. Reduce to medium low, cover and simmer for an hour.
4. Place 1 /4 cup of cilantro leaves aside. Chop the remainder. Add hominy and chopped cilantro to the pot, and simmer for another 30 minutes.
5. When the pork is tender, remove from heat and serve in bowls. Place a few cilantro leaves on top and squeeze a lime wedge into the bowl just before serving.

Traditional Hangover foods:
• A meal that includes eggs (for the cysteine), a banana (for the potassium), and fruit juice (for the fructose) or a sports drink (for the electrolytes, sugars and salts) can get the body on the road to recovery. Keep in mind that caffeinated coffee, tea and soda will further dehydrate a drinker.
Eggs do also contain large amounts of cysteine, the substance that breaks down the hangover-causing toxin acetaldehyde in the liver's easily depleted glutathione. Therefore, eggs can potentially help mop up the left-over toxins.
Asparagus and the morning after:
. "The two key enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) quickly metabolize ethanol into the 'nontoxic' acetate," explains Deokbae Park, PhD, professor of medicine at Cheju National University School of Medicine in Korea. "Our study basically aimed to find any diet to promote the breakdown of ethanol by stimulating the two key enzymes," he says. By adding the asparagus extract to liver cells in the lab, they determined that asparagus is high in amino acids that stimulate those enzyme functions, accelerating the breakdown of alcohol.

Ride for 3-4 Hours Dork
01/28/2011 1:48 pm
One hour, 5 minutes. Total hell. I'd rather do the 3-4 hours that the dork at the coffee shop was bragging to me about while I was about to toe-tag mysefl. Background for you first and an important message - it is not how long you are in the saddle, its what you do while you are in it that counts! So, here's the story and you tell me who's the dork. I went out Wednesday to do my lunch ride with about 8 other guys at a local CrossFit gym. If you know CrossFitters, they are beasts. Super fit. Combine cyclists who CrossFit and you have a nasty mix of junkyard dog with smarts. Vicious. So I do this Wed. lunch ride that lasts about an hour. It sometimes feels like you are going through a meat grinder. We roll out, warm-up on PCH for about 10-12 minutes, hit a 3% hill at about 20-21 mph then drop into total aggression. We ramp up to about 27mph pending on how much we want to dish out the pain. We normally maintain a near-30 mph pace for about 4-5 miles then slam into a 10% wall full gas. We often want to puke. What keeps us driving is to see who hangs on and who gets dropped. Makes for some fun text bantering after. After the wall, the fun continues. We climb up a 7% hill that takes about 5-6 minutes to climb. It hurts. More attacks. Then we jam downhill, hit another leg breaker climb (where the sprint point is) and roll back. Total time in pain zone = 40 minutes give or take. I often get "hot head" after (if you ride hard enough, you know the feeling). But here's what happened Wednesday! We were riding in a ridiculous headwind with 25mph gusts that were swirling around us. Dry outside too. That made it feel like a death march. Dude at the coffee shop asks me how our ride was. "Hard," I said. I had a hard time attempting to talk. Too wrecked. As he adjusted his hair and pretty sunglasses, he rambled on about his 3 hour plus ride and how he is doing 15-18 hours a week. Uh, yeah. I do about 8-10 hours right now but guess what I do? So, I ask you - who got the better ride in to get ready for racing?Share

I want to prove that $$\{\neg P_1\to P_2\} \vdash (\neg P_2\to P_1)$$ without using the Deduction Theorem.
I'm not sure how to proceed. The class notes are all we have to work from, no text to work on similar proofs.
I want to prove that $$\{\neg P_1\to P_2\} \vdash (\neg P_2\to P_1)$$ without using the Deduction Theorem.
I'm not sure how to proceed. The class notes are all we have to work from, no text to work on similar proofs.
I will use the axioms you wrote on the comment, namely:
Please add them in your original question to make it complete.
We want to prove $\{\lnot P_1\to P_2\}\vdash\lnot P_2\to P_1$. A proof is a finite sequence of sentences that each of them is either an assumption, or one of the logical axioms or it's a sentence that can be deduced through modus ponens using previous sentences of the proof. I will write a number next to every sentence to denote the step in which I am.
The first thing to do is to write down your assumptions:
1.$\lnot P_1\to P_2$ (assumption)
What we want to do now is to find an axiom that looks like the assumption so we can use the modus ponens. Axiom 2 fits perfectly here so our second step can be
2.$(\lnot P_1\to P_2)\to((\lnot P_1\to\lnot P_2)\to P_1)$ (axiom 2)
Using modus ponens on 1 and 2 we can derive the following
3.$(\lnot P_1\to\lnot P_2)\to P_1$ (modus ponens 1,2)
The "right hand side" of the consequence we want to prove is there (namely $P_1$) but the "left hand side" is different. So what we want is some means to replace that $\lnot P_1\to\lnot P_2$ with $\lnot P_2$. Intuitively, what we need is to show that from $\lnot P_2$ we can derive $\lnot P_1\to\lnot P_2$. Looking at the axioms this is exactly what the first one gives:
4.$\lnot P_2\to(\lnot P_1\to\lnot P_2)$ (axiom 1)
We have something of the form $A\to B$ and $B\to C$ and we want to prove $A\to C$. If we can do that then our prove will be complete.
So now what we want to prove is $\{A\to B, B\to C\}\vdash A\to C$.
Again let's begin with our assumptions:
1.$A\to B$ (assumption)
2.$B\to C$ (assumption)
What we want to do is to create somewhere $A\to C$. Looking at the axioms that you have (and since $A\to B$ is an assumption) a good idea is to use the third axiom
3.$(A\to (B\to C))\to((A\to B)\to(A\to C))$ (axiom 3)
Since $B\to C$ is an assumption we should use the first axiom to create that $(A\to (B\to C))$ we have
4.$(B\to C)\to(A\to (B\to C))$ (axiom 1)
Now we have everything we want. We just need to apply modus ponens to derive our result:
5.$A\to(B\to C)$ (modus ponens 2,4)
6.$(A\to B)\to(A\to C)$ (modus ponens 3,5)
7.$A\to C$ (modus ponens 1,6)
So writing it down a bit more formally we have:
A. $\{A\to B, B\to C\}\vdash A\to C$:
B. $\{\lnot P_1\to P_2\}\vdash\lnot P_2\to P_1$:
I hope that was helpful.

Do You Distrust Others, Or Just Yourself?
A while back, I worked with a client who was interested in leaving her corporate marketing job and opening a health food store. Although she knew a lot about the products she wanted to sell and had a passion for her business, she had no experience dealing with the logistical issues—like finances and inventory—that come with running a store. Thus, she was interested in finding a business partner knowledgeable in those areas. However, she was having trouble making the leap from thinking about finding a partner to actually seeking one out.
She told me the reason she was blocked was that she found it hard to trust people. When she'd start taking steps to find someone to work with, her mind began conjuring up nightmare scenarios where her business partner bankrupted the store, stole her money and ran off to parts unknown. After watching those mental horror movies, she'd resolve to learn how to run the store herself. However, this thought prompted fears that she'd fail to handle the business properly and ruin it.
It seemed that in my client's mind, whether or not she found a partner, she wouldn't handle the situation well—either her partner would rob her blind, or she'd run the store into the ground. Thus it struck me that, at a deeper level, my client's issue might be that she simply didn't trust herself to manage her business, or more generally to take care of herself. To explore this possibility, I had her visualize the scenario where her partner took advantage of her, and I asked her "where are you in this picture? What are you doing?"
She thought about it for a moment, and then gave a despairing sigh—clearly she didn't like the image that came up. "I'm helpless," she said. "I'm just sitting in the corner of the room, and I can't do anything to stop my partner."
"It sounds like you don't feel strong enough to protect yourself from being exploited."
"Yeah, I don't," she finally replied, after another deep sigh.
To see if it would help calm her fears, I asked her to keep the image in her mind, but this time to visualize herself standing up tall. Before I got around to having her imagine protecting herself, she chuckled and observed how much just making that small adjustment in her posture changed her experience. She suddenly felt more empowered in her business life, and an ability to handle whatever setbacks might arise that she hadn't often felt before.
Since we had this conversation, whenever she feels plagued by imaginary failure scenarios, my client has made a habit of turning her attention toward what she's doing in the "mental movie" she's creating. Almost invariably, an image of herself cowering in the corner comes up. When she imagines herself standing up, her fears immediately seem less intense and she feels a sense of composure.
As it turned out, my client's problem wasn't that she didn't trust others—it was that she didn't trust herself. When she formed an image of herself as strong and resourceful, her worry that she'd be taken advantage of and that she couldn't protect herself faded away.
Today, I regularly recommend this kind of exercise to people with difficulty trusting others to help or support them. Often, when their anxieties around trusting others come up, they form mental pictures of all the terrible things that might happen if they relied on someone and were let down.
Once they've described the image that usually comes up, I have them turn their attention to where they are and what they're doing in the picture. Like my client, they tend to see themselves spacing out, ignoring the problem, or putting up no resistance against their exploiters. When they instead imagine themselves taking action to prevent others from harming them, their fears of being betrayed tend to subside. Developing trust in themselves, in other words, helps them rekindle their trust in others and the universe.
Psychologist Stephanie Dowrick aptly describes the connection between our self-trust and our ability to trust others in Choosing Happiness: Life And Soul Essentials. We tend to assume, she writes, that our sense that we're unsafe in dealing with someone stems from the fact that "the other person is so unreliable and you can't trust them."
Often, however, "the person you can't trust is yourself. Your feelings are not 'about' the other person, even if you do feel them only in this relationship. They are 'about' you. When you feel highly possessive or desperate in relation to another person, it is almost always because you have not yet developed your own inner feelings of safety."
When we develop trust and confidence in our own abilities to overcome the obstacles we face in life, trust in others follows naturally. Of course, others may break their promises and try to take advantage of us. But if we have a sense of certainty that we can set appropriate boundaries and handle the situation, our relating with others no longer seems so dangerous, and takes on a new ease and even joyfulness.

I-70 project fight continues
November 14, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE — A lengthy debate on aspects of the I-70 connector project and whether the county would commit $....
So, you want the county to spend taxpayer money on a road that a private individual may be required to pay for by a judgement in a court of law....yeah, that makes a lot of "business" sense

Agree JPC. The problem with having business people in public roles is that A: they are used to making decisions and being able to act quickly, and B: common sense rules those decisions. A business person wouldn't be able to stand it for very long. My message to any politician is this: make a D#*M decision that's best for the county/state/country and STAND BY IT. You aren't going to please everyone but they WILL know where you stand.

Seems no one wants to listen to anything that would help bring businesses in.I remember calling someone 4 yrs ago that did the work at the O.V Plaza[ wal mart] and i told them, why did you not make an EXIT ramp that would have been connected to I 70,West,BETWEEN CIRCUIT CITY and LOWES? There is only 50 yds separating Lowes from interstate I70 W.That way people at Christmas time wouldnt be trapped in that plaza like a bunch of rats trying to get out,especially if you live in ST.C or anywhere going West.As you know, there are only two ways out of that plaza. A third way out would have been nice.It would have cost nearly nothing to put a road 50 yards long, from Lowes onto I70 West.. hIs answer was' Thats a good idea but it's too late now'

Promo...I think the 3 commissioners are currently answering your question with a resounding "NO"! We need business people in the county commissioner roles ... not politicians that constantly worry more about votes than doing what is in the best interest of the county as a whole. Favede and Probst need to get on board or get out of the way.

I agree with poster below and for the first time, with Mr. Bigler. Get it going for crying out loud. Development will happen with or without this project. The question is, do our commissioners have the guts and long-range foresight to capitalize on where those developments happen?

After reading this article, does it come as any surprise to anyone that Ohio County (WV) has significantly outperformed Belmont County in terms of attracting new business to their county? The Belmont County commissioners are a dis-functional "train wreck" (with no disrespect intended to "train wrecks"). The current commissioners need to get their collective act together and take the appropriate steps to enable the new developments to happen. With the economic boom taking place in our area, companies will be looking for places to locate their retail, hotel, and restaurant businesses. The question is ... will there be any suitable, shovel-ready places in Belmont County available or will The Highlands continue to capitalize on the new business opportunities?

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe: The Complete Series (Widescreen): for $6.96
It includes all 39 episodes on 3 discs.
3 Comments add a comment
before someone complains, this is the re-make from around 2001-2002, not the 80's version. That said, it's still enjoyable for the price.
Amazon fluctuates on the pricing on this, so if you can do ship to store, it's worth it.
tv.com says that the 2002 reboot of He-Man has 45 episodes.
But if you are into the show, it is probably a nice bargain.
Out of stock online.

I want to create housenumber labels from point with correct angle from nearest streetline.
is there any toolbox or script available for this, and if there is a script can you guide me step by step beacuse I dont know where to put script, and python would be the best I believe.
my thinking of this is calculate AVERAGE streetline angle and then somehow put this values to nearest point?
any help is good help :)

I've just received a memo which says (effectively)
As more people leave, there will be less people available.
I want that word to be fewer. Are there guidelines for which word ought to be used when?
I've just received a memo which says (effectively)
I want that word to be fewer. Are there guidelines for which word ought to be used when?
Ah, less vs. fewer. Another arrow in the prescriptivist's quiver of pointless pedantry.
There's even a Wikipedia article about the dispute. There is also a Language Log entry about the matter too.
According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, a usage guide that looks carefully at the history of usage advice, the rule creating a clear separation for less and fewer was invented in 1770 by Rober Baker in his book Reflections on the English Language, where he wrote in a comment on less:
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of English Usage authors then comment:
They then give many examples of usage of less for countable quantities, and add finally:
With regards to the example in the original question, either fewer or less would be perfectly grammatical, but so many people are under the spell of the rule that less must never be used with countable nouns that anyone who doesn't follow the rule may be subject to criticism.
Edit 2010-09-28:
The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language also weighs in on less vs. fewer:
"Fewer" is used when the actual number of objects is quantifiable. Since you can count people, "fewer" is correct.
"Less" is used when the amount is not easily quantifiable. You can put less salt in your soup, for example.
The New Oxford American Dictionary has a note about this:
(New Yorker of 28 July, a cartoon by J.C. Duffy)
British Supermarkets are split on whether to describe express checkouts as '10 items or less' (Tesco) or '10 items or fewer' (Marks & Spencer). Seemingly the more upmarket chains use 'fewer' and the more mainstream chains using 'less'.
As to which is the correct usage I would agree with Scott Handelman:
Grammar Girl wrote about this, and putting it very succintly, the differences between "few" and "less":
So, what is a count noun, and a mass noun?
I have added that emphasis because it points out a lot. This makes identifying Mass nouns very easy.
What about your example, in which you said "Less than 9 sausages?" Isn't that, a violation of this rule? Shouldn't "few" be used?
The fact is, there is the word than, which changes everything. When there is a "than", the sentence is changed into a comparison, and "less" is used when making comparisons. According to the Chicago Style Manual:
Oxford Dictionaries Online surprisingly helps us with this:
That's why "less" was used, when referring to "9 sausages".
Examples of usage of "less than" includes:
Finishing off, with a quote from Grammar Girl, this notes the exceptions to the rules:
Hope that helps.
Strunk's 1918 edition of The Elements of Style confirms that less is for multitude nouns and fewer is for countable nouns in the Misused Expressions section. So does the Chicago Manual of Style (to which I cannot link, because it's subscription only).
Of course there are disagreements as detailed above by @nohat, but those are a couple of well-respected style guides that can give some guidance to those of a prescriptivist bent.
I would say "fewer people"; and it is indeed linked to count vs uncount nouns. 'People' is countable, unlike water, as you can talk about "three people did x". So I'd disagree with Noldorin's answer.
In this particular case the correct word to use is 'less', since 'people' is a mass/collective noun. It is commonly used as the plural form of 'person'. I consider this grammatically incorrect (undoubtedly it was so traditionally) though modern usage has adopted it as a sort of plural form.
Oxford Dictionaries Online explains the usage cases of 'less' and 'fewer' pretty well:
I remember it like this:
Less of one thing - fewer of many things.
P.S. Mmmm cake :)
From a mathematician's point of view:
use "fewer" for integer quantities (anything that can be counted)
use "less" for real quantities (anything that can be measured)
The reality is that less is being used where fewer was once common. It will become dominant and then invariant within the next 10-20 years. I see less + countable nouns all the time in print and on TV lately. Language change in action. http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=2819

Sen. John Kerry, secretary of state nominee: 'Do what we must' to stop Iran on nukes
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sen. John Kerry, President Barack Obama's nominee for secretary of state, said Thursday that the United States will "do what we must" to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon even as he signaled that diplomacy remains a viable option with Tehran.
Testifying at his confirmation hearing, and with Senate approval a foregone conclusion, Kerry addressed a range of concerns raised by members of the Foreign Relations Committee, from his past outreach to Syrian President Bashar Assad to GOP concerns about the nomination of Republican former Sen. Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary.
"The president has made it definitive — we will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," Kerry said in his opening statement. "I repeat here today: Our policy is not containment. It is prevention, and the clock is ticking on our efforts to secure responsible compliance."
Pressed on Iran and its nuclear ambitions, Kerry said he was hopeful that the U.S. and other nations could make progress on the diplomatic front, but that Tehran needs to understand it must prove that its program is for peaceful purposes.
"It is not hard to prove," he said, stressing that "intrusive inspections" are required.
In an unexpected exchange, Kerry found himself defending Obama's controversial pick of Hagel to be the next defense secretary against GOP criticism.
Sen. Bob Corker, the senior Republican on the panel, expressed concerns about Hagel's support for an 80 percent reduction of U.S. nuclear weapons, a major issue for the Tennessee lawmaker and his home state. The Y-12 nuclear facility is located near Oak Ridge, Tenn., and any cuts would have an impact on local jobs.
"I know Chuck Hagel. I think he is a strong patriotic former senator, and he will be a strong secretary of defense," Kerry said of Hagel, who like Kerry served in Vietnam.
The Massachusetts senator urged lawmakers to be realistic, arguing that an 80 percent cut is an aspiration that would be unlikely in the current climate.
On Syria, Kerry was asked about his outreach to Assad, now an international pariah after months of civil war and unending violence against his citizens.
Kerry said there was a moment where Syria reached out to the West but that the moment has long passed.
"History caught up to us. That never happened. And it's now moot, because he (Assad) has made a set of judgments that are inexcusable, that are reprehensible, and I think is not long for remaining as the head of state in Syria," the senator said. "I think the time is ticking."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a fierce critic of Obama's policy on Syria, said the status quo is unacceptable with the United Nations estimating that 60,000 have been killed and the heavy influx of refugees in Jordan and Turkey.
After a recent visit to the refugee camps, McCain warned that Syrians frustrated with the U.S. response will be a recruitment target for extremists.
"We can do a lot more without putting American boots on the ground," McCain said. "Otherwise, we will be judged harshly by history."
Kerry said it was imperative to continue discussions with Russia and others in dealing with Syria, but he was realistic.
"I don't have optimism," he said.
The hearing was an odd juxtaposition. Kerry has served on the committee during his entire 28 years in the Senate and has chaired the panel for the last four. On Thursday, he sat at the witness table, his voice at times cracking from emotion, facing his colleagues and friends.

Is the use of $\lfloor x\rfloor$ legitimate to correct discontinuities?
In functions like $\tan^{-1}(a \tan(x))$, the angle wraps and the result is discontinuous.
Is it legitimate to redefine the equation as in $\tan(a \tan^{-1}(x)) + \pi\lfloor \pi x + \frac{1}{2} \rfloor \mathop{\rm sgn}(a)$ to keep it continuous? Or is it better to write it $\tan(a \tan^{-1}(x)) + (x - \tan^{-1}(\tan(x))) \mathop{\rm sgn}(a)$, or some other way–or should this never be corrected in the first place?
I realize this example is rather trivial due to the multivalued nature of the arctangent. Here is one that is not so trivial: the arc length of the cycloid.
Unless I'm missing something, the problem with simply calculating integral for the arc length $\int \sqrt{2 - 2\cos(t)} dt = 2 \int |\sin(\frac{t}{2})| dt = 4-4\cos(\frac{t}{2})\mathop{\rm sgn}(\sin(\frac{t}{2}))$ is that it jumps back down to zero every $2\pi$. This could be corrected in one of the above ways. If left alone it is simply incorrect except in $0 < t < 2\pi$.
Now Wolfram|Alpha gives a terribly convoluted function for it. How did W|A redefine the process to come out correct for all $t$ (not to mention so convoluted)? Is this more natural or otherwise more legitimate than simply adding a floor function to it?
In other words: is there a mathematical reason to prefer one method over another?

Dylan McKay
this wiki
- "You think you're ignored? When I was a teenager I was living in a hotel. I wanted my parents' attention so I did little things; no good. I did bigger things, know what I'm saying? "
- —Dylan McKay[src]
Photos Edit
Season 1Edit
Dylan is the son of Jack McKay, a man known for his wealth and a criminal past, and Iris, a spiritual and light-hearted woman who Dylan has little in common with. The family grew divided during Dylan's childhood; Jack and Iris separated, and their son developed strained relationships with both parents. After later receiving a significant inheritance, Dylan became rich before graduating high school. He lived alone throughout a good portion of his time on the show.
Early on in the series, Dylan met Brandon Walsh, who would become his closest friend. Dylan also met Brandon's sister Brenda, who he would soon begin a romance with. Their first date, however, nearly ended on bad terms when Dylan lost his temper following an encounter with his father. After a shaken Dylan apologized and found comfort in Brenda's arms, the pair shared their first kiss. The topic of sex soon entered Brenda and Dylan's relationship, with Dylan being ready in contrast to Brenda's desire to wait. Though this initially created tension between the two, his sensitivity and patience were revealed as he eventually showed respect for her wishes and remained faithful. On the evening of their high school Spring Dance, the couple made love for the first time and acknowledged how important they'd become to one another.
Season 2EditA brief pregnancy scare marked the beginning of a highly stressful period for Brenda, which soon led her to break up with Dylan. Dylan's father was later arrested for a brief period of time, creating another painful experience for him in which Brenda attempted to provide comfort. His tendency to drink when stressed was also displayed during this period, which prompted the intervention of Brandon.Brenda and Dylan drew close once again when he was injured while surfing, with the two admitting that they missed one another. It was around this time that Brenda's parents, however, had become opposed to the relationship, leading to much antagonism. Further complicating the situation was the fact that Dylan shared a professional bond with Brenda's father, Jim Walsh—who Iris had selected as Dylan's trustee.
Dylan eventually decided that it would be best to let his own father oversee his assets, and Jack agreed. Despite their personal differences, Jim was uncomfortable with letting Dylan put his financial future in Jack's hands—though he merely cited the legality of their arrangement while blocking the change. Dylan and Jim moved back and forth on the issues of their personal and professional matters, finally settling into amity as the third season commenced.
Also during this period, Dylan was briefly reunited with a friend and mentor named Jake Hanson, a slightly older man whose appearance helped to introduce the second series of the Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity.
Season 3Edit
While Brenda was in Paris during the summer, Dylan had an affair with their mutual friend Kelly Taylor. The feelings between Dylan and Kelly proved especially strong, despite their reservations, as they'd known each other for many years. When Brenda returned, she and Dylan began growing apart due to new-found differences. After confirming that they'd both had flings during her time in Paris, the couple soon broke up. Dylan then began seeing Kelly, which quickly angered Brenda. After the girls had reconciled, Dylan was told to reach a choice between them. He eventually chose Kelly, when Brenda could not show up to his father's party because of her parents.
Dylan and Jack faced a trying time following Jack's release from an incarceration. Though Dylan was at first emotionally detached from his father, the pair eventually reconciled and grew close once again. Shortly afterward, a car bomb apparently took Jack's life after he'd resumed his criminal relations. Dylan was again tempted to soothe his pain by drinking, but thanks to some comforting words from David Silver, he was able to realize that it wasn't what he wanted. He soon learned that Jack had been collaborating with the FBI. Dylan was also comforted by Brenda who knew how to be there for him while Kelly tried but awkwardly failed.
Dylan's mother, Iris, visited Beverly Hills to attend his high school graduation, which highlighted the two's comical differences, but ultimately left them on good terms. After feeling his dad's presence, Dylan later revealed that it seemed as though Jack was there with them throughout the day—to which Iris replied that perhaps he was.
Season 4Edit
Though their relationship was generally amicable throughout the fourth season, Dylan's tendency to decline Jim's advice would have consequences. After purchasing a new car against Jim's wishes, Dylan was soon carjacked—which resulted in him buying a gun and becoming obsessed with self-defense. Following a moment in which he came close to accidentally shooting Brandon, Dylan began to relent in this obsession. However, much more anxiety would follow. He soon learned that Brenda was involved with Stuart Carson, a young man who Dylan had a rocky past with and a less than high opinion of. Growing amounts of tension troubled his relationship with Kelly, due largely to differences over certain people in their lives.
The biggest surprise of all came during Christmas when he met a woman named Suzanne, who introduced him to a younger child of Jack's named Erica. He was initially skeptical, having never heard of Erica before, but eventually invited the two of them into his life—along with Suzanne's partner Kevin. Jim, however, cautioned Dylan against being too trusting, particularly when the couple began making business proposals. Though Dylan initially heeded the warning, he ultimately declined Jim's advice once more, which would again prove to be a mistake.
By the end of the season, Dylan had lost a girlfriend in Kelly, an adviser in Jim, and two new friends in Kevin and Suzanne, who departed the country after conning him (although at this point, he was unaware of this). In the final moments of the finale, however, Dylan shared a farewell kiss with Brenda, who'd opted to pursue stage acting in London.
Season 5Edit
Dylan fell into a downward spiral throughout the fifth season, largely because of Kevin and Suzanne's betrayal, and partly due to the knowledge that Brandon and Kelly were dating. He found temporary comfort in the arms of Valerie Malone, an old friend of the Walsh family's with a naughty side. After a period of drug use and reckless behavior enabled by his drug dealer, Mr. Trilling, Dylan eventually wound up in the hospital after a car crash while driving under the influence.
A dream sequence during this period revealed that he viewed Jim and Cindy Walsh as ideal parents, Mr. Trilling as the devil, Valerie Malone as a Brenda-wanna be, and Jack McKay as a homeless vet. Dylan was watched over by Iris McKay and a med student named Jamie Young, who believed that Dylan's dreams were a struggle for his soul. After finally awakening, he began steps toward recovery by going to rehab.
While in rehab, he met Charlie Rollins, who he would eventually work with on a screenplay. They clashed in rehab, but later became friends after they both got out.
With the help of J. Jay Jones, a private investigator recommended by Christine Pettit, Dylan, along with Valerie, would later pursue Kevin and Suzanne. The trio managed to reclaim the money they'd taken, and removed Erica from their custody following their arrest.
After the fire, Kelly had gotten caught up in the New Evolution, a cult led by Patrick Finley. When Brandon's attempts to reach her failed, he hatched a plan with Dylan to free Kelly from their influence. Dylan went undercover and made a deal with Finley to buy him a new building if he convinced Kelly to marry him. When the plan worked, Dylan and Brandon freed Kelly from Finley.
Following several sessions of hypnotherapy with Molly Campbell in which Dylan saw himself in past lives, Dylan came to realize that he wasn't over Kelly and believed there was a possibility that she was his soul mate.
A brief fling once again developed between Dylan and Kelly, despite her still being involved with Brandon. Dylan eventually invited Kelly on a romantic trip around the world, prompting Brandon to respond by proposing to her. She eventually chose neither, later stating that she didn't want to ruin Brandon and Dylan's friendship.
Season 6Edit
While playing action against Anthony Marchette, the man responsible for bombing his father's car, Dylan befriended Anthony's daughter Toni. Over time, he found himself developing genuine feelings for the young woman. Anthony opposed the romance and informed Toni of Dylan's vendetta, prompting Dylan to reveal his side of the story when she confronted him. Toni initially didn't believe Dylan, but later discovered the truth.
Dylan and Toni were soon engaged. Shortly before the wedding, Brandon read Dylan a telegram from Jim and Cindy, both of whom stated that they were proud of him. Brenda also sent a message expressing her affection.
After getting married, Dylan and Toni intended to leave Beverly Hills. Just before they could do so, however, Anthony attempted to have Dylan killed via a drive-by assassin, who accidentally shot Toni instead. Brandon stood beside a screaming Dylan as he cradled his wife's body.
Anthony and Dylan met for the last time in a private area at Toni's funeral. A devastated Anthony handed over a gun and told Dylan to kill him. Dylan ultimately refused, resisting the temptation, and walked away after stating that the killing was over.
Brandon was present to see Dylan off as he left town, and the two friends shared a devoted handshake before Dylan drove quietly into the distance. This episode marked Luke Perry's departure from the show. Years later, Perry would reveal that the scene included some real-life sentiment between himself and Jason Priestley.
Season 9 and Season 10Edit
Following an off-screen reunion with Brenda, Dylan returned to Beverly Hills shortly after Brandon had departed. He would eventually learn that Anthony Marchette had committed suicide. In time he began to regularly interact with several of the group's new friends—entering a relationship with Gina, and helping Steve rescue an abducted Noah.
Dylan, after returning to the Beverly Royale Hotel upon being evicted by his roommate, David, caught up with Jack's old friend, the hotel manager Hector. He also met an old friend named Lucy Wilson, who had lived in the hotel her entire life and knew Dylan from the old days. Through each other, they both realized how lost they both were and made a deal to return to college get some direction in their lives.
Dylan also got involved at a community center, where Andrew Emery was employed. After helping out there and with some issues with the center, Matt started realizing that Dylan was getting serious about getting his life together, but also about Kelly.
Dylan later discovered that his father was alive after all, and had merely been under FBI protection for years. After first seeing Jack on video, the two men were briefly reunited in person. Jack then left town, returning to FBI protection and his new wife. Before Jack left he revealed that he had been living under the identity Eddie Waitkus and that he was married to a woman named Lisa and they had a son named Jack.
Dylan and Kelly would eventually face rekindled feelings, and reunited by the time of the series' conclusion. In the spin-off 90210, Dylan and Kelly are revealed to have broken up and not speaking, though they have a son named Sammy. He had remained in contact with Brenda and finally, he and Kelly would get on better terms.
