What are general guidelines for the use of "me" and "myself"?     Did I describe me or did I describe Maria?   OR     Did I describe myself or did I describe Maria?
I have read answers to questions like  but I couldn't find a general rule for using "you" or "yourself", "him" or "himself" that could explain things I see in some examples.  For example, I think that one normally say (according to examples I see in ):   You bring something with you. You have something in you. You have something on you. You pressed her to you.   But on the other hand one would say:   You draw attention to yourself. He killed himself. You can try it out for yourself.   As a general rule, it seems that the reflexive pronoun is used when the object is the same as the subject of the verb. But for prepositional phrases, it seems more complicated. Do some prepositions (like "with", "in", "on") always come with the accusative form of the pronoun, and some other (like "for") don't? What about "to", that seems to be followed by both in different circumstances?
jQuery ui tabs How to connect a GUI button to function? I have a dataset in csv file format that I'm loading into pgfplotstable. I can't change the format of the original csv, and being financial data it has a column of item names and two or three explanatory data points at the top of the table. e.g.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{array,datatool,pgfplotstable}   \begin{filecontents}{sample.csv}     item,2008,2009,2010,2011      ,Actual,Actual,Forecast,Forecast      ,GBP,GBP,GBP,GBP      ,('000),('000),('000),('000) rounded     Area 1 OP, 1000000,1500000,1750000,250000     Area 2 OP, 400000,500000, 450000,-50000     Area 51 OP, 300000,375000,390000,15000     No P, 1250000, 1000000, 950000, 50000     Residuals, 800000, 80000, 90000, 10000   \end{filecontents}  \pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma]{sample.csv}\mystuff   I'm stumped at the next stage which is to typeset \mystuff so I have comma separators and can add a row that sums the 'Area' columns. At the moment to display the table I have to do something like  \begin{document}  \pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma,header=false]{sample.csv}\mystuff  \pgfplotstabletypeset[   columns/0/.style={string type},   columns/1/.style={string type},   columns/2/.style={string type},   columns/3/.style={string type},   columns/4/.style={string type}]\mystuff  \end{document}   How do I tag the top three rows as string and the rest of the last four columns as integer type so I can format and transform them? Solving a six-degree polynomial of the form $ax^6+bx^3+g$. I read that it is not always possible to solve but from Wikipedia:      Some sixth degree equations, such as $ax^6 + dx^3 + g = 0$, can be solved   by factorizing into radicals, but other sextics cannot.   So how do you solve this? I've stumbled upon this equation where; $a = n^2$, $d=m^2n-2p^2$, and $g=m^4$. Where the $a,d,g$ corresponds to the above mentioned sextic-equation and $m,n,p$ are input variables. I apologize for that ton of variables in use, might cause some confusion. Is this possible using Galois Theory or by any other means? How to speed up 4e combat I DM a group of four PC's and even "easy" battles take at least an hour to resolve. Normal encounters take even longer! I want to speed up combat so my players can do more in a session.  I've been trying a lot to speed up combat, we are already using:   Initiative cards that the players keep up 30 second bonus rule: if someone take his turn within 30 seconds, he receives a token. This token can be used to give a +1 on attack or damage, after rolling. Completely removed healing surges Checked all character sheets, they are roughly equal Roll damage and attack at the same time   I even introduced an experienced player, which helped my party to play more strategic, but speed hasn't improved.  Also the party is Lv 8, nearing Lv 9.  This is not an issue of the DM's turn taking too long. My turns take about 60 seconds tops. The 30 second rule helps a lot, most of the the players turns are within or near 30 seconds.   The major issue appears to be the sheer number of rounds, averaging on 25-30 rounds needed to resolve even a "normal" encounter.  What can I change to resolve combat faster?  I'm looking for both 4e solutions, system agnostic and home brew solutions. Quite often, the phrase "x for x's sake" is used in English, and so one could describe someone as being "argumentative for argument's sake" to describe someone who is arguing for the sake of arguing.  However, is there an adjective that means the same thing?  For example, it could be used in the context:     I don't want to be [X], but [argument...]   ... indicating that your argument is necessary and not intended to irritate. If Obi-Wan and Yoda were trying to keep Luke safe from Vader, why would they let him keep the Skywalker name? Install a single specific package from future distribution I'm currently using precise. I need to upgrade a certain package (namely  and it's dependencies) to a newer version, which is currently found in raring (alfa at the time of writing this). How to do it ?

When to use ' (or quote) in Lisp? Why do quantum effects dominates when the thermal de Broglie wavelength is on the order of or larger than the interparticle distance? We say that when the thermal de Broglie wavelength is much smaller than the interparticle distance, the gas can be considered to be a classical or Maxwell–Boltzmann gas. On the other hand, when the thermal de Broglie wavelength is on the order of or larger than the interparticle distance, quantum effects will dominate and the gas must be treated as a Fermi gas or a Bose gas, depending on the nature of the gas particles.  $(V/N)^{1/3} &lt; \lambda_{th} $. My question is why do quantum effects dominate? Can I downgrade to an earlier version of Android after installing an OTA update? I installed the KitKat upgrade on my Nexus 7, but I am unhappy with it. Is it possible to roll back to an earlier version of Android (Jelly Bean)?

Sometimes I have suggested that food that sat out a little longer than optimal may be safe to eat.    Granted, this is based on my experience, and I always qualify that it shouldn't be served to guests (and by extension, customers) and that one should determine their own tolerance to risk, but I want to know if there is information as to the methodology of the FDA guidelines.  Specifically, what is the contamination rate at n hours, and what are the initial conditions of the food and environment?  How much risk is there REALLY (in incidences per n-population and such) in a standard kitchen for food that has sat out 50%, 100%, 200%, etc. longer than recommended? The  EU book The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader reveals that Vader personally gave the stormtroopers the order to kill Owen and Beru Lars, and that he knew who he was condemning to death before he gave the order:  “Lord Vader,” said one of the sandtroopers, adjusting a control on his helmet so that only Vader could hear his voice.  “The Jawas sold a protocol droid and an astromech to these moisture farmers, but both droids are gone.” Moisture farmers? Intrigued, Vader examined the holograms of the kneeling couple and said, “The farmers’ names?” “Owen and Beru Lars, sir,” the sandtrooper responded. “They say they don’t know where the droids are, but it looks like a landspeeder is missing from their garage.” Owen and Beru, Vader recalled... “Tell Mr. and Mrs. Lars that they seem to have trouble keeping protocol droids on their property.”1 Not certain if he had heard correctly, the sandtrooper said, “Sir?” “Then you may extend to them every courtesy that you showed the Jawas before you continue your search. Establish checkpoints to detain any droids entering Mos Espa or Mos Eisley spaceports. And one more thing.” “Yes, Sir?” “Do not stop transmitting until I break the connection.” “Understood,” said the sandtrooper. Vader watched the sandtroopers carry out his orders on their helpless victims. He found the sight of rising flames — even holograms of flames burning millions of light years away — to be most satisfying.  I had always assumed that the stormtroopers killed the Larses on their own initiative, or in accordance with a previously given order.  The version of events in this book is interesting, but it raises the question of why it took Vader so long to figure out who Luke was. In canon, who gave the order to kill Owen and Beru Lars?  If Vader was involved, did he recognize the couple before he gave the order?  1 A reference to the fact that Anakin took C-3PO from the Lars homestead the last time he was on Tatooine, without informing the Larses that he would do so. $E[e_te_s\Delta B_t\Delta B_s]$ for $\Delta B_t$ Brownian motion increments and $e_t(\omega)$ a measurable function. $\|h(x)-h(y)\|\geq 3\|x-y\|$ prove that image of open is open If you provide 0 as the dayValue in Date.setFullYear you get the last day of the previous month:  d = new Date(); d.setFullYear(2008, 11, 0); //  Sun Nov 30 2008   There is reference to this behaviour at . Is this a reliable cross-browser feature or should I look at alternative methods? Comprehensive list of tools that simplify the generation of LaTeX tables Manually hacking tables in LaTeX is one of the less funny things when preparing a document. Naturally, there are quite a few tools that promise to simplify this. In fact, I have somewhat lost track of all the tools available, and I'd like to gather your valuable experience into one big post. Some of the tools are mentioned in , but I feel there's much more around.  I'd suggest that somebody starts an overview with an alphabetic list (so that I can accept this answer and it stays on top), and that everyone replies with a "community wiki" entry, one reply per tool, and inserts the tool into the list.  Personally, I use Excel2LaTeX, but I'm unhappy with having to fire up Windows in order to generate the LaTeX code. I'm thinking of a rewrite as a standalone Python tool using the xlrd library, but I'm not too inclined to reinvent the wheel. I have a list of tuples like this:  [ ('a', 1), ('a', 2), ('a', 3), ('b', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 1), ]   I want to iterate through this keying by the first item, so, for example, I could print something like this:  a 1 2 3 b 1 2 c 1   How would I go about doing this without keeping an item to track whether the first item is the same as I loop around the tuples? This feels rather messy (plus I have to sort the list to start with)...
