EDIT: Check out the dedicated Kongregate API Forum.
EDIT: We've now moved to a better layout. The old version is still up, but the new version is viewable here, or by clicking on the "Developers" link at the top navigation bar.
As some of you may have noticed, BenV completely rewrote our documentation for our APIs in our new Kongregate APIs page. You can get to this page easily by using the link in the Developers sub navigation bar at the top of the screen.
These new pages contain the most up-to-date information and are more concise and specific than the old threads have become. Because a number of changes have been made in how we handle our APIs and what features we have, we've decided to un-sticky and lock the older threads – too much of the information is just simply wrong at this point that we worry that keeping them around will continue to confuse people.
After reading the docs, we highly encourage you to continue posting questions about the APIs in this forum. We'll let you guys decide on a format for these posts, be it one thread per API or a thread per question or whatever.
We're trying to avoid mammoth threads on the topic, so please don't post all API questions in this one. However, if you have any questions specific to the documentation pages (possible typos, missing information, etc.) do please let us know in this thread. Thanks!

Breastfeeding 101
6 of 8
Common Problems
Breastfeeding can sometimes be painful. Nipples can become sore or cracked, and breasts can become painfully engorged with milk. Read advice on how to handle these problems.
If you are experiencing other common problems, such as inverted nipples, a yeast infection, or milk failure, be sure to seek help right away from your doctor or lactation consultant. The sooner you treat your problem, the sooner you and your new baby can begin a comfortable feeding routine.
Sometimes your little one will have problems latching on or suckling, or will only take one breast. No need to panic. Just stay calm and soothe your baby. Once the baby is calm, try again in a different position. Never force your nipple into the baby's mouth.
Once your milk starts flowing, you may experience leakage in your nursing bra and shirt. Be sure to invest in nursing pads. This will cut down on accidents, laundry, and embarrassing moments.

The 7 Most Impressive (And Depressing) Geek Collections
#3. Non-Videogame Videogame Crap
What's better than collecting video games? Why, collecting all the crap video companies pump out that you can't even play! Brett Martin has collected over ten thousand pieces of cheap tie-in merchandise, despite being (at the time of interview) unemployed. A career would only take time away from his dozens of Legend of Zelda thermoses, dammit!
He is hoping to get a video game testing position, though we worry that he may think this involves scooting plush Mario dolls around a table. He also has set up a website to sell his collection, which we suspect translates as, "The wife says I have to move out of my parents' house and get a job, which totally sucks."
You may wish to look around the Video Game Memorabilia Museum to either be amazed or poke fun, but be warned: a man who's paid money to permanently archive the Donkey Kong Crystal Coconut is not to be trifled with.
#2. A Barbie Collection Worth More Than Your House
If there's one thing the internet proves, it's that men will pay to look at women. Even six-inch high fake women with featureless plastic instead of genitals - hell, that's probably a fetish by now - and in 2006 people from around the world gathered to spend over 170,000 dollars on a vast collection of them.
The collection was carefully assembled over 40 years by a Dutch fashion designer "for her daughter." The daughter's wonderful doll collection was then sealed in a series of plastic cases where the girl could presumably never touch them without fear of severe and swift retribution.
"Does this look like a toy to you?"
During the Christies auction, one anonymous bidder spent five thousand dollars on a Barbie in a zebra-skin bikini - and you can bet if we spent the price of two flights around the world on hundred grams of polyurethane, we'd want to remain anonymous too.
#1. Insanely Huge Star Wars Collection
Rob Foster has more Storm Troopers than the actual Empire did, as well as every other Force-related chunk of plastic every pumped out to profit from the (once) good name of the trilogy.
The collection has almost three thousand original Star Wars models - his favorite is the scantily clad fat Gargan slave girl. Only 25 were ever made, and when you see it, you'll know why.
The collection lives in the bedroom used by him and his girlfriend, which is both an impressive level of understanding in a modern couple and possible proof that she doesn't exist. If she does, it can't be easy for him. Keeping your end up in bed under the judging gaze of a dozen Hutts can't be easy. Unless he's thinking of that Gargan.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Authorities near Birmingham are investigating the death of a man found sitting in a chair in the crawl space of a home.
Jefferson County sheriff's Chief Deputy Randy Christian says a plumber who went under the house to repair broken pipes discovered the 55-year-old man dead Friday afternoon.
Christian tells Al.com that the dead man is the ex-husband of the woman who lives in the house in Center Point, northeast of Birmingham. The dead man no longer lived there, and it's unclear what he was doing beneath the house. The man's ex-wife said she was unaware why he would be under the house.
Christian said no foul play is suspected. He said the cause of death is under investigation, and it's possible it was the result of exposure to cold weather.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- A line of powerful storms flooded creeks, knocked down trees and prompted a tornado watch in parts of Alabama. There were reports of trees down in several Alabama counties after the storms rolled across Alabama early Saturday. Forecasters say there were no immediate reports of any tornado touchdowns.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama hired former Southern California coach Lane Kiffin yesterday as its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Kiffin spent a week in Tuscaloosa, Ala., last month exchanging ideas with coach Nick Saban and his staff and observing Alabama's offense.
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Police are investigating after a 1-year-old child was found unresponsive in a bathtub in Panama City Beach home.
Investigators said Gaudalupa Ritchie Martinez was home with his mother and two siblings Friday and may have been briefly unsupervised. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Panama City Beach Police Chief Drew Whitman said they don't suspect foul play but are investigating to determine if the child was neglected.
The News Herald reports authorities said they are waiting on autopsy results.
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Florida wildlife officials say nearly 75 endangered sea turtles have been rescued and taken to a rehab after suffering a cold stun from severe weather.
Florida Wildlife and Conservation Commission officials say turtles suffering from cold stun typically stop moving and end up just floating in the water or even washing ashore. Officials, volunteers and researchers rescued the turtles this week all along the Gulf Coast. The majority were discovered in St. Joseph Bay near Panama City.
The Pensacola News Journal reports the turtles are now in intensive care at the Gulf World Marine Institute where they are recovering in warm water.
The turtles will likely be released back into the wild within the next few weeks.
MARATHON, Fla (AP) -- Dozens of wounded military veterans got some dolphin therapy in the Florida Keys this week when they got to swim with the mammals.
At the Dolphin Research Center, retired Army Sgt. 1st Class Robert Rivera held onto a dolphin and was towed on Friday. Rivera sustained a spinal injury in Iraq in 2010.
Rivera said he was most excited to see the reactions of his comrades, many who lost limbs in Iraq or Afghanistan or are suffering from injuries that are not visually apparent.
The dolphin visit was part of Soldier Ride, organized by the nonprofit Wounded Warrior Project. About 50 wounded military veterans and their supporters are participating in the combination bus and bicycle trip through the Florida Keys.
Soldier Ride ends Sunday in Key West.
TITUSVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- A woman has been convicted of seven felonies after authorities say she and her boyfriend kept an emaciated 13-year-old boy locked in a cage.
Glass was convicted Friday of several charges including child abuse. She and Michael Marshal were arrested in 2012 after authorities say they locked the boy in a closet as punishment and strapped him to a bed for long periods of time. Investigators said the couple also starved the boy. He weighed just 40 pounds when he was found.
Florida Todayreports Glass denied involvement in the alleged abuse and blamed Marshal. Her attorney said she should have intervened but didn't participate in the abuse.
Marshall faces similar charges, but a trial has not been scheduled.
MIAMI (AP) -- A Miami Beach strip club has temporarily closed its doors after police say a 13-year-old runaway was forced to dance for money.
City officials issued an emergency order to Club Madonna's manager Friday night shortly before it opened.
City Manager Jimmy Morales said he revoked Club Madonna's certificate of use for six months because the club was a threat to the community.
Richard Wolfe, an attorney for Club Madonna, said the city had no basis for such actions. The club and city have battled for years over an alcohol ban in such clubs.
The Miami Herald reports police arrested three people earlier this week for allegedly forcing a runaway teen to prostitute herself and dance at the club.
Club Madonna's owner said he was unaware the girl performed there.
Storms topple trees in Ga.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Much of central Georgia was under a tornado watch as a line of powerful storms swept through the state, toppling trees and flooding streets.
In metro Atlanta, fire crews freed a 14-year-old child from a mobile home Saturday morning after a tree crashed into a back bedroom of the Cherokee County residence. Fire officials said the girl, who was alert and conscious and was talking to paramedics during the rescue operation, was in serious condition.
A 2-year-old child in the same mobile home was taken to a hospital to be treated for abrasions.
Georgia Power reported that more than 10,000 customers were without power Saturday morning.
More than 2,000 of the outages were in Rabun County in far northeast Georgia, with most of the rest scattered throughout north Georgia.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Power says it set a record for winter peak demand earlier this week as temperatures plummeted below freezing in Georgia and other parts of the country. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the record was set Tuesday.

12 Bizarre True Stories Behind Famous Band Names
#6. Dexys Midnight Runners
Dexys Midnight Runners were that band with the dungarees and the catchy hit "Come on Eilleen," which you'll recall is just about the 80siest song imaginable.
The guys had admitted to naming their band after the drug Dexedrine, the prescription stimulant which is also a semi-popular way to get out of your head for a spell. The "midnight runners" comes from the ability of Dexedrine users to dance all night. Interestingly, the band itself was completely clean and even banned alcohol from concerts. Why a completely clean band would name themselves after the positive effects of a drug is beyond us. If you were anti-drug wouldn't you play up the downsides of drug use? Dexys Freaking Out In The Toilets. Dexys Giving Backrubs to Strange Dudes Again. Dexys Just Barfed All Over my Members-Only Jacket. Etc.
#5. Motörhead
Motörhead is a British rock band whose success in the 70s and 80s helped redefine heavy metal. They have a bit of a reputation, too--Motörhead's founder, Lemmy, has stated that his aim was for the group to be "the dirtiest rock n' roll band in the world." "If Motörhead moved in next to you, your lawn would die."
While it sounds like a pretty straightforward band name, motor-head is actually the equivalent to the American term "speed freak," a slang term for an amphetamine user. Rumors about whether this implied members of Motörhead participated in drug use have dogged the band to this day.
#4. Cheap Trick
Everyone here at Cracked recognized the name, but we actually had to look up just why exactly we'd heard of Cheap Trick before. Oh that's right. They sang "The Dream Police."
Heh. Their drummer looks like a vacuum salesman.
And how did they come up with the name? Supposedly they were visiting a psychic's house and asked a Ouija board what they should call their band. Another, better band, Alice Cooper, has a similar story, which makes us wonder how often bands consult the spirits for such a critical decision. And spirits, if you're reading this, have you ever tried fucking with these bands before? Like spell out "Dink Fidgeters" or something?
#3. Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin was a British rock band who in the 70s repeatedly and flagrantly rocked the world so fucking hard that scientists can still detect residual vibrations in the Earth's mantle to this day.
The phrase "lead balloon" has commonly been used to describe an ill-conceived idea, or one whose failure is both predictable and inevitable. The name then allegedly arose when Keith Moon, after being invited to drum for the band, thought the idea would go over like a "lead zeppelin"--Moon evidently modifying the common phrase after observing that zeppelin's were quite large. Reportedly Jimmy Paige liked the phrase so much, he took it for the band's name. The decision to misspell it was made because they thought Americans would be stupid enough to mispronounce the word "lead." Running a Website with a functioning comments section as we do, Cracked.com officially has a hard time disagreeing with this theory.
#2. Velvet Underground
More influential than successful, The Velvet Underground are often called one of the most important and influential groups of their era by whoever last updated their Wikipedia page.
The name stems from the title of an S&M book a band member found on a sidewalk in New York. The book itself describes the underground sexual scene in 1960s America. We're not sure what the sexual underground of the 60s looked like, but we're guessing the book was primarily comprised of mustache grooming tips and maps to funky smelling basements.
"It's me again."
#1. Steely Dan
Steely Dan were a jazz rock duo popular in the late 70s with people who are probably pretty old by now. When asked to name a single Steely Dan song, the closest any Cracked staffer could come was "the one with the notes."
Despite their under appreciation by snot-nosed punks like us, we can still appreciate the story of how they got their name, because it is solid fucking gold. The phrase is taken from a passage in the William Burrough's book Naked Lunch. Steely Dan is the nickname given to a giant steam-powered dildo. It gets crazier: as explained in the book, there's actually been an entire series of Steely Dans. Notably, the first one was crushed by an evil German bulldyke prostitute using her hoo-ha.
So, until a band becomes famous while calling themselves the Deep Fisting Shit Fiends, or perhaps Elvis Costello's Deep Fisting Shit Fiends, Steely Dan will remain the craziest band name out there. We congratulate the band on their success. If a representative wants to drop by our offices, they can collect their prize: a printscreen of this Webpage folded into a letter-sized envelope.

In addition to scheduled holidays, full-time regular employees are eligible for two personal holidays during the academic year. Part-time employees are eligible for an equivalent number of part-time days, depending on their schedule. To calculate personal holidays for a part-time employee, divide the total number of hours he or she typically works per week by 35 hours (a full-time work week) and multiply that number by 14 hours (the equivalent of two personal days). For example:
An employee typically works 15 hours per week
15 divided by 35 equals 0.43
0.43 multiplied by 14 equals 6.02
This employee is eligible for 6 hours of personal holiday time for the academic year.
An employee may take personal holidays at any time of the year, scheduled in advance, with his or her supervisor's approval.
Personal holidays cannot be carried over from one academic year to the next. The privilege of using personal holidays expires two weeks prior to an employee's separation date.
For Office and Clerical (Local 3882) and Laboratory and Technical (Local 3882) staff, permission will not be withheld unreasonably but a supervisor may refuse to allow a personal holiday under the following circumstances:
New Employees: The number of personal holidays to which an employee is eligible during his or her first academic year of employment depends on when he or she began working at NYU.
If employee began:
-- Between September 1 and December 31: 2 personal days during 1st Academic Year
-- Between January 1 and April 30: 1 personal day during 1st Academic Year
-- Between May 1 and August 31: 0 personal days during 1st Academic Year
Office and Clerical (Local 3882) and Laboratory and Technical (Local 3882) staff must successfully complete a three month probationary period before taking a personal holiday.
Administrators and Professionals are eligible to take personal holidays upon hire.
For Service Staff (Local 1, Local 810), refer to the appropriate contract for all information about personal holidays. For Non-Union Service Staff, contact NYU PeopleLink.

TEMPLE (January 18, 2013) --- Doctors at Scott & White Hospital in Temple said Friday they're seeing fewer blood donors than usual this month.
Fewer people donate to the hospital's blood bank this time of year, but because of the flu outbreak, donations are down more than usual, evidently because would–be donors want to avoid contact with flu patients.
On Friday Scott & White set up its mobile blood donation unit across the street from the main hospital in hopes that more people would stop by to donate.
The mobile unit will also be in the area next week.

Given $A = \{(x,y) \in \mathbb{R^2}: y = \frac{1}{x}, x > 0\}$. Show (by considering convergent sequences or otherwise) $A$ is closed in $\mathbb{R^2}$.
Anyone able to give me some advice on how to approach this problem. I know that if every convergent sequence $(x_n, y_n) \in A$ converges in $A$ then $A$ is closed. But I don't know what process I should use to show this and I don't know how to deal with sequences that use two terms, ie $x_n, y_n$ instead of just one term.

5 Moments in Fake Professional Wrestling That Got Too Real
As we've mentioned previously, professional wrestling is much harder than it looks. Sure, the moves may be choreographed and the results predetermined, but like any job that entails two half-naked giants throwing furniture at each other, there are always going to be some accidents.
The trouble is that when the performers involved are both huge and insane, one accident can escalate play-fighting into the real thing pretty quickly. Like ...
#5. Antonio Inoki vs. The Great Antonio
On December 8, 1977, famous Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki fought a much bigger, hairier guy also named Antonio. He was a Croatian-Canadian who called himself the Great Antonio because apparently the defining features of greatness are hobo facial hair and D-cup breasts.
By that definition, Taft was America's greatest president.
He built a career as a strongman pulling city buses and airplanes across the tarmac, but he hadn't done much professional wrestling. Without knowing much about the guy, Inoki still agreed to a match, likely thinking, "How hard can it be to out-wrestle a fat guy in a rolled-down April O'Neil jumpsuit?"
Before the match, they agreed that the advantage would swing between the fighters for awhile, but Inoki would ultimately come out on top. It was, after all, in Japan, and the home crowd wanted to see Inoki destroy this sloppy Western villain. The Great Antonio was more than willing to play the antagonist in the bout -- he was so eager, in fact, that he antagonized Inoki into actually beating the piss out of him.
Antonio Inoki, seen here dressed as Che Guevara for some reason.
When It Got Real
While strength, dexterity and a fancy finishing move are all important to professional wrestling, the primary ingredient is acting -- you have to know how to throw yourself across the ring even though your opponent only nudged you. But about two minutes into the match, the Great Antonio made it very clear that he wasn't going to be doing any of that.
In fact, you can almost see the moment when he realizes, "Wait a minute, only one of us has 'The Great' in front of his name. I should be winning." So when Inoki threw a kick at him, instead of "selling" the move (that is, stumbling backward as if he'd been hit with a real blow), he just stood there. In other words, he basically just told the crowd, "See? All of this is fake."
Except the gut. 1970s special effects couldn't fake that.
This technique is also known as "completely defeating the purpose of professional wrestling." The video, and the ugly result, is amazing:
As you can see, Inoki tried to keep the match moving along. He continued to flop around as though he was actually locked in a vicious battle with the dozy buffalo standing still in the middle of the ring. But Inoki started to lose his temper.
Finally, the Great Antonio lumbered in for the kill, clubbing Inoki in the chest and the neck as hard as he could with one of his ham-sized arms. Inoki patiently accepted the blows and then carefully explained to the Great Antonio that they weren't playing anymore, in the language of fists.
The Great Antonio responded in the language of Jell-O.
After striking Antonio six or seven times in the face, Inoki grabbed one of his tree trunk legs and dropped him to the ground. As the Great Antonio clumsily tried to get his 350 pounds back up on two pudgy feet, Inoki took his time walking around the whale of a man and proceeded to stomp the crap out of his head for what seemed like 7,000 blows too many.
Head-stomping is like running. Sometimes you just get lost in the zone.
Once Inoki was certain that the Great Antonio was successfully beached, he finally lost interest and wandered away. The Great Antonio lay bleeding on the mat, perhaps thinking about what happens when you violate the one rule on which all professional wrestling hinges, or maybe just cake. Probably cake.
Brain damage makes him hungry.
Strangely, this was only the second most ridiculous match of Antonio Inoki's career ...
#4. Muhammad Ali vs. Antonio Inoki
Coming off his final fight with Joe Frazier, legendary boxer Muhammad Ali was looking for new people to punch in the face, and was basically out of boxers. His search for opponents took him to Tokyo for a match against, yes, Antonio Inoki (who was almost as famous in Japan as Ali was in the United States). What could possibly go wrong?
Inoki might have a bee-sting allergy?
Together, they decided to pile-drive logic and have a mixed rules match between two completely incompatible fighting styles, one of them completely fake. Naturally, everyone assumed that this fight would be staged as well. Everyone, that is, except Inoki, who went on record before the fight, saying:
"I don't know how seriously Muhammad Ali is taking the fight, but if he doesn't take it seriously, he could suffer damage. I'm going in there fighting. I may even break his arm."
"I'll throw a bitch at him. I don't even care!"
He was sincerely training to wrestle a boxing champion who not only had no knowledge about wrestling, but would also be wearing giant, clumsy mittens during the match. As the event neared, Ali realized that the fight would be real, and his camp frantically tried to renegotiate the rules. Those new rules restricted Inoki from throwing, tackling or using pretty much any other wrestling move while fighting Ali, which was like asking Ali not to punch or write poems about how much his opponents suck.
"Instead, we'll settle the whole match via extended man-groping."
When It Got Real
So how did Inoki manage to overcome these overwhelming odds? He laid down. Not in the metaphorical sense; he literally laid down in the middle of the ring and kicked at Ali like a fussy toddler who didn't want to go to bed. His only recourse was to stay on the ground and make Ali come down to him, offering a few kicks to the shins and thighs for good measure.
The strategy worked, too. Ali had no idea what to do. He tried to goad his opponent into getting back to his feet and fighting properly by shouting "Coward Inoki!" and "Inoki no fight!" but the Japanese wrestler was not going to be shamed into fighting a losing battle. In the fourth round he backed Ali into a corner, landing a series of kicks, and in the sixth round he tripped Ali and sat on his face for a little while.
It's a valid tactic in Mortal Kombat, and it's a valid tactic in real life.
The fight ended after going the full 15 rounds, and in that time, Ali only threw six punches. The judges ruled the fight a draw -- which is exactly the same result they probably would have decided on if they had just staged the match from the start. The only difference being that this way, they angered thousands of baffled fans, and Ali ended up with blood clots in his legs from the cuts caused by Inoki's boots. Honestly, what the hell were they expecting?
#3. ECW Wrestlers vs. Their Fans
Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) was a professional wrestling organization that existed from 1992 until 2001. It was relatively small compared to heavy hitters like World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), but stuck around so long because of two factors: extreme violence and the psychotic bloodthirsty fan base it fostered.
Mr. Jonathan Ice
Who could have imagined that this would amp people up?
The wrestlers in the ECW would hit each other with spiked baseball bats and throw each other through burning tables, and the ropes around the ring were generally made of barbed wire. The fans were so homicidal that they started bringing weapons for the wrestlers once they became too desensitized to enjoy watching someone get hit in the face with a steel ladder anymore.
So in August 1994, Terry Funk and Cactus Jack faced each other in the main ECW event Hardcore Heaven, thus creating a match-up fans had been dreaming about, and also one of the most embarrassing sentences we've ever had to write. For some context, Terry Funk and Cactus Jack were two of the most famous hardcore wrestlers in the history of the organization, and they were bitter rivals. During the run of the ECW, these two spent more time with their heads in one another's crotches than most married couples ever will. But despite all the damage they did to one another and all the blood spilled between them, they both remained consummate professionals. This time, it was the fans who were trying to murder someone.
Because hey, watching people fall on piles of barbed wire gets old.
When It Got Real
During the match, the tag team Public Enemy interfered, forcing Funk and Cactus Jack to team up briefly. While fighting off the intruders, Funk turned to the ravenous crowd and asked someone to throw him a chair. Now, given the nature of the fan base, he may have been the only person there that night who didn't realize the invitation for violence he had just offered an arena full of unstable psychopaths.
It's possible that the first few steel chairs that were thrown into the ring were innocent enough. These people may have genuinely wanted to help Funk. But after the first couple of dozen, that ship had clearly sailed. They were just throwing the chairs because hey those other guys got to throw chairs, and I don't have a tangible way to deal with my emotions either. One of the seats actually whacked Funk himself, who used the opportunity to fall to the ground and roll the fuck out of the ring.
"Please, please, no more chairity!"
Meanwhile, Public Enemy were completely buried under a mound of pointy metal. An official started telling fans to stop throwing chairs into the ring over the arena speakers, but that was like asking a mob of rioters to turn the burning police car back over and go home; it was long past the point of no return. After all, the man who bleeds for a living had asked them to throw chairs in the first place, and that's the kind of authority you don't mess with.
Thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt in the incident, and it became one of the most memorable matches in the organization's history. The crowd was certainly on its feet for it. But then again, they had thrown away their chairs.

Hard times and hosieryPosted Wednesday, February 25, 2009, at 11:34 AM
So, will this economic pressure everyone's feeling buy us freedom from panty hose?
A staple of the professional woman's wardrobe, these items (obviously conceived by a man... have you looked at them when you take 'em out of the package? Do the manufacturers think we're shaped like that?) aren't very durable, and keeping an extra pair in the drawer is getting expensive!
Today, I rose early and got dressed, skirt, top, jacket, nylons -- and I've learned to put these on just before I leave. We have friendly pets whose loving, joyful play means certain death to panty hose. Well, sure enough, the puppy named Crasher ripped three holes in the garment. There was no time to change, so, my worse-for-the-wear stockings and I went on to my appointment. It's enough to make me long for those heavy cotton tights that were in vogue for a while. They were much more durable, but admittedly less attractive. I'm pretty sure the fashion police would hunt me down for that.
The obvious answer: wear pants. But what about those occasions when a skirt's more appropriate, or one just wants to wear a skirt?
One of my friends just doesn't wear them. But my ghost-white legs, with their knobby knees and not-so-smooth tones, need some help. That option would bring on the onslaught of the fashion police as well. What to do?
Another friend said that in the 1940s, when there was a seam up the back, when there were no stockings to be had, some women even drew a line up the back of their bare legs to create the illusion of panty hose.
Thankfully, that fashion has also faded into history.
Tomorrow I'm wearing pants. With pockets. Women need pockets, too!

That's true...My dad uses them to tie up tomato vines. And, knotted into a ball with some feathers sticking out. he fashions them into fake quail to train his bird dog.

Oh NO NO! Tights are back, and in a big way. I LOVE the fact that they're back. Actually, since I moved from MO to Northern VA I've noticed that they never went out up here.
I'd love to go sans panty hose, but my legs are Irish white, who wants to see a ghost legs walking around? I need the hose tan...

These formsets are exhibiting exactly the opposite behavior that I want.
My view is set up like this:
def post(request): # TODO: handle vehicle formset
VehicleFormSetFactory = formset_factory(VehicleForm, extra=1)
if request.POST:
vehicles_formset = VehicleFormSetFactory(request.POST)
vehicles_formset = VehicleFormSetFactory()
And my template looks like this:

{{ vehicles_formset.management_form }}
{% for form in vehicles_formset.forms %}

Vehicle {{forloop.counter}}

{% include "form.html" %}
{% endfor %}
That way it initially generates only 1 form, like I want. But I want that one form to be required!
When I dynamically add blank forms with JavaScript and
vehicles_formset.empty_form all those extra forms are required, which I don't want.
From the docs:
The formset is smart enough to ignore extra forms that were not changed.
This is the behavior the first form is exhibiting (not what I want) but not the behavior that the extra forms are exhibiting (what I do want).
Is there some attribute I can can change to at least make one form required?

For the third straight year, no one pulled papers to run for an open seat on the B-R School Committee, only this time it was Bridgewater's turn to come up empty.
The deadline to take out nomination papers was Monday, March 11 at 5 p.m. and there were no takers for the seat currently held by Matthew D'Andrea of Bridgewater. Residents in both towns vote for all members of the regional school board.
All Raynham incumbents up for re-election have taken out papers and will face no challengers in the seven local races on the ballot.
The Raynham incumbents who took out papers are: Selectman Joseph Pacheco; Sewer Commissioner Richard Schiavo, who is also a selectman; Assessor William D. Lewis; Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School Committee member Susan Prewandowski; Cemetery Commissioner Dalton Gordon; Planning Board member Christopher Gallagher; and Park and Recreation Commissioner Christopher Shaw.
Pacheco, Schiavo, Lewis, Prewandowski and Gordon have all returned their papers. The deadline to submit papers is Wednesday, March 13 at 5 p.m.
Last year, there were four strong contenders for the selectmen's seat vacated by Don McKinnon.
Town Clerk Marsha Silvia said open seats seem to generate more interest.
That may be true in selectmen's races but it hasn't proven the case for the school board.
In last year's election, no one took out papers for the seat vacated by longtime Raynham school board member Stephen Donohue and the year before no one pulled papers for the seat vacated by another longtime Raynham school board member, Gordon Luciano.
Both those seats were filled via write-in campaigns.
Pacheco, who is running for a third three-year term, said he takes it as a compliment to be running unopposed.
"People might not always agree with me, but I'd like to think they approve of what I do and how I do it. I always say it was a huge honor to be elected and it's a huge honor to be re-elected," he said.

Database as a Service Minnesota Style
By Margaret Hamburger-Oracle on Feb 28, 2014
This is a great story that's worth repeating of how the University of Minnesota began offering database as a service a few years ago as a way of providing database services to the University's colleges, departments, and administrative offices.
In typical Minnesota style, the University of Minnesota was way out in front of the DBaaS trend. The school's database sprawl was becoming more difficult to maintain and manage with 215 databases running on 40 servers, and requiring the equivalent of four to five full-time DBAs to manage it all.
The University's IT team decided to consolidate and centralize databases on two Oracle Exadata Database Machines -one for production workloads and the other for testing and development, reducing the number of databases from 215 to 25, and servers from 40 to 8.
As part of the consolidation initiative, the University began offering DBaaS to support their business applications on campus which included Oracle PeopleSoft for HR, financial management, administration-and Web sites. When new business needs arise at the University, they can satisfy the requirements almost immediately with database as a service, rather than go through a time consuming database acquisition and deployment process one project at a time.
As an early adoptor if DBaaS, the University is evaluating Oracle Database 12c as the potential next step with its multitenant architecture and pluggable databases, making it even easier to offer database services.

text: Well guys, even though there is already a tutorial on Tom Hiddleston as Loki, I was asked to make a lesson when I was live yesterday that teaches you "how to draw Tom Hiddleson" or Loki in a cartoon version. So here is my cartoon version of Loki or Tom Hiddleston. I'm actually surprised that folks asked for this lesson on Loki because there is already a tut on him. Loki is proving to be one of the more popular characters from Thor as well as from the Avengers. Who would have thought that such a cool looking figure could ever make it to where he is today. Obviously I'm kidding, I was just trying to be sarcastic. anyways, this should be a relativley easy lesson to follow because all you will be doing is drawing Tom Hiddleston in an awesome cartoon manner. If you are one of those people that would prefer the comic book version of Loki, you can find him in the comic section under "Marvel comics". As far as getting started, I say we should go ahead and get started. There is nothing like tackling a task that you think you will fail in, then come out swinging with success. Adios to all you artists out there. I shall return later.

If manifolds have sectional curvature lower bound, then those manifolds has subsequence convergent to Alexandrov space. Is there similar results for manifolds with Ricci lower bound?
This is getting too long for a comment so I'm posting this as an answer...
@guoyi xu No you can not claim in any sense that $|\nabla_y dist_x|> 1- \delta$ for any $y \in B_{b(x)}(x)\backslash \{x\}$ for limits of spaces with just lower Ricci bounds. That is indeed different from Alexandrov spaces where you do have this property. That makes studying limits of manifolds with lower Ricci bounds quite a bit harder than Alexandrov spaces. Let me give a rough reason why you can not possibly hope for such a result. In Alexandrov spaces the above property is a fairly easy consequence of Toponogov comparison. Toponogov comparison is false with just lower Ricci bounds. There is an $L^2$ version of Toponogov for long thin triangles due to Colding (and later Colding and Cheeger) but that is only $L^2$ which means it's just a measured statement which can not give you full control on topology (except in some near extremal cases) as there is always a small set of points where you can say nothing about the gradient of the distance function but which might happen to contain a lot of topological information. One may hope that maybe Cheeger--Colding results are not optimal and maybe the result you want could be proved using some undiscovered tools but that is not so. If you could prove such a statement for lower Ricci then you'd be able to prove the Gromov betti number estimate for lower Ricci curvature bound instead of lower sectional curvature bound. However, that is known to be false. There are many counterexamples in collapsing situation ( examples by Sha- Yang etc) and it's not even possible in the noncollapsing case. I think the first example in the noncollapsing case is by Perelman
Lastly, ( I should have probably started with that) there are some other pathalogical examples known which clearly violate the statement you are after. For example, Meguy constructed examples of limit spaces where some tangent cones are not polar meaning that not every geodesic starting at the origin can be extended to a ray.
A well-known theorem of Gromov says that if $(M_i,g_i)$ is a sequence of manifolds with $Ric\geq -kg$ and fixed dimension, then it is a converging subsequence in the pointed Gromov-Hausdorff topology. References for this fact are Gromov's "Metric Structures for Riemannian and non-Riemannian spaces" and Burago-Burago-Ivanov's "A Course in Metric Geometry".
A lot of investigation has been made on the possible limiting length space, see "On the structure of spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below." by Cheeger and Colding, and subsequent papers.
On the other hand, one can have smoother convergence with stronger geometric requirements. For instance, one has $C^\alpha$ compactness when the injectivity radius is bounded from below, see "$C^\alpha$-compactness for manifolds with Ricci curvature and injectivity radius bounded below", by Anderson and Cheeger.

In python, is it considered better to define a module with functions or a module with a class that contains functions? [closed]

It honestly depends on your needs. Most of the time a module of functions will be what you're looking for.
Python classes (imho) shouldn't be thought of like classes in C# or C++ or Java, there needs to be a logical reason to group a set of functions into a larger parent, data structures would be a good example of this, you want a congruent set of functions that apply directly to the class instead of a loosely collected set of functions that are general purpose.
A module is for the overall hierarchical grouping of similar systems, I usually have all utility functions under a single module, all data under another, my data layer and connectors under a more "parent" type module. Since a module is just a mental grouping it's less about what types of systems are in it (classes or functions, honestly probably a mix of the two) and more about the logical connections between the systems under the module.
The basic question is if you need to have different instances of your module/class. a python module is like a singleton - you refer always to the same object, i.e. if you need instances, you need a class.
However, if you do not need instances you might still have the need to set up your "object" to an initial state. while this is clearly possible with a plain module, if the initializing is more complex than just setting some values, I would advice to have initializing code in a class's

Just wondering on the pros and cons on TDD/automated unit testing and looking for the community's view on whether it's acceptable for professional developers to write applications without supporting unit tests?

To test what?
If you're talking about 100% code coverage, it's extremely rare, not useful and often impossible. In the same way, testing CRUD-related code is a waste of time, and it would be highly unprofessional to spend hours writing code you don't need instead of doing something actually useful.
Now, as a developer, you have to know how to write unit tests, and where do you need them.
There's a common misconception that unit tests are for testing "units".
However, functionality of a complex system often can't be tested effectively.
Once again, it does not guarantee the whole system will work, but it simplifies testing.
TDD is not a requirement by itself. It simplifies coding by forcing a developer to answer first, "what am I actually going to code?".
Many think that by not writing tests, they save their time. Wrong. Thinking strategically, the cost of an error increase exponentially with time since appearance till detection.
Say you make an error in your code and detect and fix it the same day. The cost is $X.
As you see, a bug will sooner or later come back to you (or your colleague). The only difference is when it happens and how much it would cost.
I can see a single excuse not to write tests. If you are writing a prototype, e.g. something that will never go to the other people. Or maybe you're writing something for a single use.
Sure, it is acceptable to not write unit tests for little internal helper utilities, or test tools, or scenarios where business really really needs things other than quality and you as the professional developer find that you can get the software done and working just as quickly without.
In my experience, 95% of the errors that can be caught by unit tests come from calls to the data layer, especially after database design changes. If you're using a database, just put a test over every method you use to access it. The tests don't even need to be elaborate, just sanity checks.
In answer to your question - if you access a database, and you are a professional developer, than you should use unit tests. Otherwise, it depends.
It really depends on how the application will be used. Is this a mission critical application? Or is it a simple verification application only used internally by developers? When working on the core applications for your company there should be as much unit tests as necessary to ensure the business decisions are covered. Depending on your company, those are the applications customers see and bugs could cost the money. When done well, unit tests can be a big help to ensure your applications will work when deployed. But it is not a cure all and human testing should still be done. Simple internal (or ancillary) applications don't need unit tests, but should still be written well.
TDD is not just about writing tests first. It is about making sure your code is easily testable. And more often than not easily testable code is also easier to read/debug/maintain. More often than not easily testable code also follows patterns and OO principles such as SOLID. I would argue as a professional developer your code should always be written that way.
You definitely do not want "no testing". If you write unit tests, you ave at least some assurance that your code matches your tests (although you'd need to ensure that your tests matches your specification).
You're not done if all you have is unit tests, though. You probably still need to do integration tests and end-to-end tests (and over time accumulate test cases to catch bug regressions).
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's mostly subjective and depends on your goals. tl;dnr: It's good to do, but being dogmatic about it is just going to lead to more problems.
TDD/Unit tests are going to improve the stability of your code. They make it easier to make changes without knowing the code base really well, they let you refactor faster, they let you be sure that you're not doing something silly. Unit tests can also be a waste of time. Time that could be spent writing code. It can also let you fool yourself in to thinking your code works when it doesn't if you follow them blindly.
If you're working for a company that supports best practices and gives you the time to do implement them and you want an application that will last, then it's really best for everyone to use and practice unit tests and code reviews. Having a QA team can be an acceptable substitute if the developers don't abuse it. If you're writing a prototype (even a production one) it may be faster the just do smoke tests.
If you're working on something where a mess-up isn't going to be end of the world, less coverage is probably fine. Financial transactions? Lots. If you have a team of strong developers who know the codebase, work well together and there's no turnover, then you probably need less coverage. Etc.
So it's probably going to be some function of
There are plenty of situations where not writing unit tests would be acceptable. TDD is 'in' right now, but it's not a silver bullet.
It is professional to Write Maintainable Unit Tests That Will Save You Time And Tears !
There is a
Thus, the goal of Unit testing (within the TDD process) is about designing software components robustly.
Edit: There is one exception where unit tests do actually detect bugs. It's when you're refactoring, or restructuring a unit's code but without meaning to change its behaviour. In this case, unit tests can often tell you if the unit's behaviour has changed.
Without question - This should be one of the first lessons that a fresher learns. You must develop unit tests to prove that your code works before you tell QA that your code is ready for testing. A failure to do so would inflate costs for the project and lower team morale.
Here is the litmus test: If QA discovers a bug in your code, will you be comfortable using your unit test(s) to prove your due diligence to your boss?
If your answer is 'No', then you should craft a better unit test (or tests).
Particularly if the time and effort spent writing automated unit tests would outweigh the benefit gained by the test. This includes, but is not restricted to, UI code that can be difficult to mock.
Emphasis: I'm not saying that it is impossible to write automated unit tests for UI code. I'm just saying that, in my experience, it is sometimes difficult to write automated unit tests for some UI code.

Do energy drinks work for you?
Ex: 5 hour, Red bull, Monster, etc.
19 Answers answer
If, by work, you mean: do they give you heart palpitations? Then yes, they're amazing!
I tried some no cal Red Bull a few days ago. I rarely get a full night of sleep (have a 7 month old), so I tend to be extremely tired esp. after the sun goes down. I drank some around 5pm and did seem to have more energy, no jitters, or other ill effects.
I did not find the taste to be all that great, but I would consider trying one again.
Man, I don't know what it is in Red Bull that drives humans insane when combined with alcohol, but it makes me nervous to drink the stuff at all. All you need is one really bad Red Bull Vodka hangover to never want it again.
Not a fan of the taste of "energy drinks" and the fact they have no nutritional value I don't drink them.
They do for me while drinking it and maybe for a short time later. But usually with the sugar in the ones I drink I start to crash relatively quickly. My "energy" drinks of choice is classic red bull and monster. As well as a few of the specialty flavors of monster but can't remember which. Know they don't count as an energy drink but a few flavorful espressos from Starbucks/other coffee shop aren't to bad for a bit of energy too.
@eeekdageek: They all have very similar taste. I think it's the Guarana that's in those drinks.
I occasionally drink a Monster, and yeah, it definitely helps me perk up for a few hours. The secret is to drink them in moderation.
@djp519: Definitely agree with that. I once drank a monster + coffee + red bull at the same time, and lets just say it wasn't pretty. That's a risky combination that I would never do again, but it certainly kept me up :)
No, they don't work for me at all. All they do is make me feel really sick. Especially Red Bull and the Mountain Dew energy drinks. They just make me dizzy, light headed and quesy. I haven't had one since they first became popular though so its been a few years. I do have a couple friends who swear by Five Hour Energy though.
I find it hard to start my day without one. My go to is Rockstar Recovery lemonade, only 20 calories and oh so tasty!
I think the "new style" energy drinks are the way to go. Speed Energy is good for me with all its vitamins and it gives you energy without a high (and sometimes headache) followed by a crash. Monster and Red Bull are obsolete. Speed is similar to 5 hour energy but more enjoyable and great with alcohol!
I do a lot of distance driving. On occasion, I'll drink a Monster Zero (sugar free), and it does seem to help keep me awake. I sip it, not chug it, and the 16 oz. can usually takes an hour to drink.
I don't like to depend on them. And the Rockstars make me feel weird. Every once in a while I'll have a Red Bull..... maybe with a little vodka ;-)
I'll drink half of a 5-hour energy if I need a pick-me-up. Always works and never had any ill effects.
I used to drink RedBull Vodka's at the bar all the time. Never left me sick or with a hangover, but it ALWAYS left me with blackouts. What's the point of having fun if you don't remember it? Not worth it.
I like red bull. Gives me more energy then a large coffee without all the time spent in the bathroom.
drink them daily. 1 on my first break @ work. normally one of the rockstar or amp varietals. lately my drink of choice is Rockstar Xdurance, but the amp sugarfree lightning (Lemonade) is darn tasty too.
I actually replaced Smoking with energy drinks back in '04. never a real heavy smoker (pack a week), but it was a simple caffeine for Nicotine substitution for me.
The energy concoction that's worked the best for me over the years(when I've actually needed an energy drink) has been a 50/50 mix of Redbull, and Orange juice. others have adapted the formula to Monster and Grapefruit, but energy drink+citrus juice seems to be a good formula
I've only really over done it once, about a month ago driving straight through coming home from vacation (Dallas to Lima OH- 1100mi, 18-22 hr range) the last 2 hours or so i was so caffeinated, the open potty stops (2-3am) were getting too far between. Lets just say I'll not be making that trip again without Depends.
I put half a 5 hr Energy in my am smoothies, and usually have a bottle around the office in case I need a sip to avoid a post-lunch lull. Works well for me.
I've never tried one. Seriously.
I started out with Monster and Red Bull back in my teens, but I've been using 5-hour energy only now since those really worked for me and it only takes a second to chug it all down before going to class.
Some side effects though:
- No urge to sleep later in the day, even though you only had three hours of sleep.
- Elevated levels of anxiety or nervousness.
- Heart can be felt pumping (palpitations).
Other than that, no crashes like I used to with the other drinks as long as I drink a can of soda the next day to help wean off the caffeine withdrawal (really terrible headache).

The first night we used the roomba, we wore it out...and then it stopped. Then we tried to get it to clean again and it said to clean the brushes. So we sat on the floor and hand cleaned the brushes.

I recently bought myself a ASUS EEE 1000HE and I intend to use it for note-taking and light browsing at the University. The machine has a 10" screen so the interface needs to be very compact.
I've already tried:
- EEEbuntu: Very nice driver support and out of the box experience. But I feel that it is too slow booting and the general experience is too heavy in my opinion.
- Moblin 2: Looks very cool, boots just fine but is way too unstable to use. Also find it annoying that I can't find hotkey documentation anywhere.
Any Netbook OS recommendation welcome (although those specific to my model would be great).
There is an entire jungle of distributions out there, so if you've been on a safari, please share your experience.

WHEELING - Sen. Joe Manchin opposes specific sections of the Affordable Care Act, but he doesn't believe Obamacare should be used as a political bargaining chip.
With the government shutdown entering its third day, Manchin, D-W.Va., said he is embarrassed by how "political posturing" is keeping Congress from addressing the country's needs.
"Under its present form, I would have found it hard to support. I'm very opposed to the individual mandates. ... I'm in the mode of reforming it where it needs to be reformed, repairing the parts that need repaired and repealing the parts that are unfixable. ... I truly believe that the enforcement of the penalties and fines - that should have been delayed for one year. I still believe it should have taken effect as the law, but should not have had any fines or penalties and there should have been a transitional year."
But that's not a reason for House Republicans to say "I'm going to shut down the government and inflict the pain on everyone," Manchin added.
"That is wrong. ... I don't think it's the place for any of us to jeopardize the operations of this government," he said. "It's frustrating. ... They have their reasons for doing what they're doing. I hope they are sincere in what they are doing. ... I just hope they will come to their senses."
To end the government shutdown, Manchin favors Congress passing a "clean" continuing resolution to fund the government that contains no amendments to defund Obamacare or push other issues.
The resolution would continue until Oct. 17.
"Hopefully, between now and Oct. 17, we can get adults at the table and have a bigger deal," Manchin said. "Until we take that seriously, you're going to hear about sequestering, temporary shutdowns and threats, and anything else (Republicans) can throw into the mix. It's totally wrong."
Manchin added he has never voted to raise the federal debt ceiling, and he said Democratic colleagues are warning him that a similar vote this time could send the U.S. economy into a "death spiral."
"I would hope it would not come down to me as to whether we (increase) the debt ceiling or not," he said. "Maybe I can get the grownups in the room to understand how severe our financial situation is, and start moving and proceeding in a very responsible manner to get our financial house in order. That's the only way I'm going to support raising the debt ceiling. ... I would hope my vote would be the one that moves us in the right direction. Wouldn't that be a powerful vote?"

The end of the year brings an end to a grassroots effort to bring neighbors of a Steubenville subdivision closer together, enjoy social outings, participate in its recycling program and contribute to worthwhile causes.
The Buena Vista Residents group, which organized in 2009, held its final meeting Dec. 12 at the Buena Vista United Methodist Church and its final monthly recycling pickup Dec. 14, the latter of which became harder to pull off with fewer volunteers to assist.
But, says Toni Dear, one of the group's mainstays, not all is a loss in this all-good-things-come-to-an-end kind of story.
At the last meeting, for instance, which was the Christmas party, the group's "change for charity" jar netted $375, which was donated to Urban Mission Ministries.
Beyond that, the group accomplished a lot of what it set out to do, specifically to foster a spirit of know your neighbor, harkening back to the days of what some remember as times of people porch sitting and knowing on a first-name basis who lived here and who lived there. Everybody knew everybody, and looked out for everybody.
The group's monthly meetings often featured a speaker and just as often food, with one meeting being a "Death by Chocolate" event with attendees asked to bring a favorite chocolate dessert. Another occasion called for an Italian covered-dish night.
While the meeting didn't always generate the participation hoped for, the special functions did. Some of these included a neighborhood yard sale; picnics at Jim Wood Park with entertainment; a bonfire with food; a tailgate party; a family game day; and an ice cream social.
The group generated a core gathering of "regulars"" to its meetings, according to Dear, who said they've resolved to still stay in touch and get together for cookouts or coffee now and then.
"Now that we got to know each other pretty well, we have each other's e-mails and phone numbers so we can stay in touch not to mention that we see each other driving down the street daily and will continue a friendly 'flag-down' as we have always done. It's been a good thing, and I think most have enjoyed what we've done," Dear said.
"The attendance at our special functions has been great, and we feel that it has been a great success. A lot of us have met people that we probably still would not know if it weren't for these functions. But, the time has come to move on. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we all feel a little closer to our neighbors. This is a good thing and will continue even without the meetings and such," Dear said.
"It's nice to put a name to the face of the person that has been driving past my house for the last 40 years and waving to me as I sit on my front porch. I contend that Buena Vista has the best neighbors in our town," she added.
