More cowbell!
What's the deal with a triangle cowbell? :p
@hookhams: I don't know how to break this to you... but......
you just... you dont have a black triangle
What is the meaning of the Black Triangle thing? Supportings Nazis or Lesbians?
And this is the third Cowbell on woot, Blue Oyster Cult reverence?
How is this a deal? This is the normal price and shipping is not free.
These are very fitting. Here at New Mexico State we're a land-grant university with a heavy emphasis in agriculture and engineering. We've been playing football since the 1800's, and in 1960 went 11-0 under Hall of Famer Warren Woodson.
But, since the University forced Woodson to retire at 65 we've suffered the "Woodson Curse" and have never been back to a bowl game.
Being an Aggie school, cowbells are big on 3rd down plays. These black cowbells are perfect, because our chances of stopping anyone on 3rd down are pretty bleak.
I got a FEVER! And the only prescription...is MORE COWBELL
We're allowed to use naughty words in deal posts now?
the reviews on Amazon indicate this isn't a cow bell as much as it is a toy that looks like a cow bell.
We need more of these.
@joelp77440: We play that clip of Walken on every third down play. It never helps.
We must not have enough cowbell.
@bsmith1: nope. nope we are not.

Revenge is a Bitch: The 10 Most Bitter Female Rock Songs
#5. "Before He Cheats" - Carrie Underwood
Harshest lines:
"That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4-wheel drive, carved my name into his leather seats ... I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires ..."
Carrie Underwood's breakout hit turned out to be a one of those rare crossovers that appealed to fans of nearly every genre of music. Apparently every female, be they goth, redneck, hipster or grandmother, wants to see a cheater get owned. "Before He Cheats" won a bunch of awards on a bunch of country video stations and the 2007 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist.
Sure, an MTV award ranks somewhere between your high school marching band varsity letter and Hitler's skeleton on the spectrum of things you'd proudly display on your mantle. But, go ahead and turn on your radio. Any station, it doesn't matter. If you wait about 25 minutes, we guarantee you that you'll hear this song at least once. It may be a Finnish opera station, but someone, somewhere is playing it. If there's one thing that brings women of different cultures and backgrounds together it's a hatred of men.
Bitterness level: 7
Never before has destroying a man's automobile been catchier, and that is fucking terrifying.
#4. "Smile" - Lily Allen
Harshest lines:
"At first when I see you cry, yeah, it makes me smile"
In an attempt to out-crazy Carrie Underwood, Lily Allen takes things a step further by wreaking havoc on her cheating boyfriend himself. Granted, all this goes down in the video rather than the song itself, but you still probably won't mess with Lily Allen. It's hard to say whether the gentleman in question is crying because of his lost love or the fact that she had his ass kicked and then spikes his coffee with a laxative.
Seriously though, the guy should have seen it coming. After all, who cheats on a girl who is a product of a broken home, attended 13 different schools, was expelled from several of them for drinking, smoking and giving blow jobs, then dropped out at the age of 15 to work in a record store and deal ecstasy. You don't cheat on a women like her, man! That's marriage material.
Bitterness level: 7.5
That whole laxative thing is just wrong.
#3. "Shitlist" - L7
Harshest lines:
"I grab my pen and I write up a list, of all the people that won't be missed ... You made my shitlist"
If there is one person's shitlist you do not want to be on, it's a punk rock chick. Especially a punk rock chick like Donita Sparks, who once removed her tampon on stage and threw it into the crowd. Supposedly she did it as a symbol of protest about missiles or ... something.
Either way, if that's what she'll do to a huge crowd of adoring fans just imagine what would happen to the dude that ends up on that particular shitlist.
Bitterness level: 8.75
She says she'll grab her "pen" and write up the list, but one way or another we're pretty sure she's going to actually write the list in shit.
#2. "Goodbye Earl" - Dixie Chicks
Harshest lines:
"Earl, ain't it dark, wrapped up in that tarp?"
Finally. After all the talk, implications and threats someone finally follows through, and no one deserved it more than Earl. If there is one thing that is inexcusable, it's battering women (especially since they're so much better naked! Right guys! Ahem).
"Goodbye Earl" only got as high as No. 13 on the Billboard Hot Country charts, presumably due to it's dark subject matter. Probably also, because it ends with the heroines running a fruit stand.
Regardless of rankings it remains one of the Dixie Chicks' most popular songs, once again proving that women are ruthless. Go to a Dixie Chicks' concert with your girlfriend and you will feel the venomous glee of 10,000 women singing this song at the top of their lungs.
Bitterness level: 9
Sure, it doesn't actually sound that bitter. It's an upbeat-sounding song. It does have a happy ending and Earl did deserve it, but that only masks the bitterness. There was an in-song murder, and that's fucking bitter no matter how many nah-nah-nahs you put in there.
#1. "You Oughta Know" - Alanis Morissette
Harshest lines:
"And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it"
How, you may ask, can a song about a jilted lover come in ahead of an actual in-song murder? That's because all of the above songs are more or less stories--women playing out bitter fantasies with a microphone in hand. Alanis Morissette is really fucking bitter here, and it comes across in every acidic word.
Remember that before this, Alanis was the Canadian Britney Spears, a teenage dance-pop sensation. What could have gone so terribly wrong to transform her from this ...
... into the shrieking harpy in "You Oughta Know"?The list of urban legends on who Morissette is singing about is nearly as long as Carly Simon's. The most notable of those honorees are Bob Saget of Full House, Dave Coulier of Full House, hockey player Doug Gilmour, hockey player Mike Peluso, Matt LeBlanc of Friends and musician Leslie Howe. According to a news story it's commonly accepted that the song is, in fact, referring to Dave Coulier.
Go ahead and imagine them fucking for a while.
Coulier allegedly broke up with Morissette because he wanted to start a family and she felt she wasn't ready. It's important to note that, at the start of their relationship, he was 31 and she was 16. Really, Uncle Joey, you can't be surprised if your girlfriend isn't mother material if she needs your accompaniment to get into an R-rated movie. You know, the movie where she went down on you in the theater?
Bitterness level: 9.9
The only thing that could have made this a 10 was if Alanis also dated David Schwimmer, therefore having hooked up with the two dorkiest Full House stars and the two dorkiest Friends stars. Alas, she falls a bit short.

STEUBENVILLE - No horsing around, the Franciscan University of Steubenville has an equestrian club new to its offerings, one catering to pleasure riding and competition.
Its official name is the Franciscan University Equestrian Club, and Nicholas Freas is the horse enthusiast behind it.
"I founded this club actually just a few weeks ago in October. I founded it mostly because I come from a riding background from my hometown in Georgia where I worked at a rehabilitation center for injured and abused horses and from there I got a lot of riding experience," said Freas, who is studying biology.

Elana Murdock gets ready to ride.
"Coming to the school, I realized there was no equestrian club, and I also had friends who came from the same background as I did with riding experience, and they were disappointed that they could not ride any more and had to give it up because it was such a significant part of their childhood," Freas said.
That being the case, Freas initially connected last winter with fellow horse enthusiast Marissa Gump through Split Rail Feed & Seed on North Seventh Street, Steubenville, that she and her husband, Bob, operated until recently. Initially interested in taking riding lessons, Freas later contacted the Gumps in August with the idea of starting a riding team.
The Gumps operate B-Mar Stables Boarding & Therapeutic Riding in the rural Steubenville area off county Road 45 (Sixteen Ridge).
The club was approved by the university in the months to come, and Gump will instruct and coach interested students at events and at their farm.
"The students will ride twice a week. Officers of the club will be appointed in January when the winter semester starts. We are still taking applications and anticipate five to 10 students for the first semester," Gump said.
University students interested in becoming involved can contact Freas at firstname.lastname@example.com or through the club's Facebook page at Franciscan Equestrian Club. Applications are being accepted through Jan. 1.
The club's Facebook page notes the Franciscan University Equestrian Club is "a newly formed club, which gives Franciscan University students the opportunity to both ride on a regular basis and compete for the university, if they are so inclined, and learn how to ride and interact with horses if they have little riding experience."
Gump noted the group is called a club, not a varsity sport as yet although the students are registered through the IHSA, an acronym for the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, and have the opportunity to compete on that level.
The students involved lease the horses and equipment, according to Gump.
"The students will be riding English and western. To be more specific, hunt seat, dressage, jumping and western pleasure. I will travel with them to the intercollegiate shows as well as coaching from home. They will have hack time and lessons to prepare for the horse shows," Gump said. Each club member also will volunteer 10 hours a semester at the barn.
Gump said she has 20-plus years of equine experience to her credit.
"My emphasis has been on hunters; however, I have a background with jumpers and cross country," she said. "While attending Ohio State University, I rode on the equestrian team for two years and competed on the intercollegiate show circuit. I was the barn manager and trainer for Pine Hollow Stables (in Cambridge) before opening B-Mar Stables," said Gump, who said her horse education and training continue as she works toward PATH instructor certification.
PATH is an acronym for Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsmanship International.
Freas said that although he doesn't own a horse himself, he likes horses.
"It was through the (horse) rehabilitation center that I found my passion to become an equine veterinarian," Freas said. "That's what I am studying for, why I am in biology now to hopefully accomplish that."
Participation in the club can be a source of pleasure riding but "it also has a very competitive aspect to it. If members are interested, they can join the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association with us as a team, and they can compete against other schools at Miami University of Oxford, Ohio, for first place and go on to how ever far we seem to make it, whether winning the zone championships or national championships," Freas said.
The benefit of membership in the IHSA is that it supplies the horses and tack needed for competing, according to Freas, who talked about the club during a recent riding session at B-Mar Stables where he was joined by three other club members - Melanie Williams, Elena Murdock and Mary Duran.
All three expressed enthusiasm for horses and enthusiasm for the newly organized club.
Williams, a native of South Bend, Ind., spent a couple weeks of several summers at a camp helping out with the horses there.
"I haven't had any professional lessons or anything, but I just loved riding whenever I can, whenever I get the opportunity," said Williams. "I ride western, and I know what I'm doing, but I'm going to hopefully get some lessons so I can refresh myself and learn more."
Murdock started riding when she was 9 and has a black Arabian quarterhorse mix.
"I rode western on him and competed in barrel racing in Iowa for a couple of years," Murdock said, noting back surgery in 2003 put a temporary end to that so she switched to English and dressage instead.
"I was really excited when they started this up because I hadn't ridden in three years," Murdock said.
From Virginia, Duran has ridden for the past six years at a facility near her home.
"I've always had a passion since I was little. I love them," Duran said of horses.
"When I saw flyers for an equestrian club I got excited, went on Facebook and sent a request," she said. "I have only competed once so when they said competition I thought it would be a good idea to try out and see if it's something I'd enjoy doing. I'm all into this," Duran said.

This question already has an answer here:
My grandmother (95 years old) is about to pass away and I want to prepare my daughter who was supposed to visit her soon. Even though she lives far away, my daughter has visited her several time (about 3 per year) but I assume its a different conversation if she sees her every day. What is the appropriate conversation to have if any. Should i not mention the word "death", should i explain it in abstract terms. Please let me know your suggestions for how you tell a 4 1/2 kid about the death of her great grandma.
My concern is that i don't want to scare her or freak her about about death in general.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 20 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TimeTravelista No Drip, No Slip My girlfriend balked at the price... until she tested the product. Perfect size for traveling and they are really easy, no drip squeeze bottles that refill easy and just are as easy to clean and fill with something else. Very good gift for someone who has sensitive skin or just plain picky because they will always be able to stay on the go without leaving behind their favorite liquid/gel products, which due to travel regulations, happens quite a bit. Think of all the money you will save on the endless bottles of sunscreen you end up having to toss out at the airport at the end of every trip, having been unable to find a travel size. November 5, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lindgren12 These are awesome for travel! Not only drip proof but with suction on the back so you can attach to shower wall and don't have to deal with slipopery bottles. I'm always looking for travel items; practical, airport security small and if applicable, as many hidden, secure pockets as possible! January 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Laney44 Great for Handicapped I bought these for a vacation in Europe. I discovered that with my Rheumatoid Arthritis problem these tubes were absolutely delightful to use. I now use them at home for shampoo, conditioner, body wash and toothpaste. I have problems with stiff joints especially in the morning. These tubes are so flexible and easy to use I can;t imagine what other uses I will find for them. Love them, love them, love them. May 25, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ouili Handy and dandy I like these tubes a lot. I think my colors are a bit different. I just wish they all had a suction cup. They seem to be easy to clean when changing contents. They are sturdy and pretty! November 29, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelSmithGal Great solution I have had so many plastic bottles for travel and none have been convenient. First, one needs a funnel to fill most of them,; not this one, the large opening makes it simple. The softer material makes it easier to use more of what is inside. The only thing I find a little difficult is using the labels that are impressed on them - I really can't read them. That being said - I think they are the best products of their type on the market. April 13, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by SharonKN Great for Travel, but too large for my purse. I love these little bottles. They are a great size for traveling and I'll put them in my carryon. However, they are a bit large to put in my purse. I wish the 2 oz size came without the suction feature. That would work great for me. April 20, 2012

College grants for veterans are a great start, but there are lots of other reasons why more than 130 former and current military personnel already are enrolled at RMU. We specialize in applied learning with a career focus. It's the kind of practical approach that appeals to people who know where they're going.
A full-service Vets Office supports students like you. It could be the small class sizes and personal attention that comes from a 15-to-1 student/faculty ratio. You're not just a number at RMU. Forget getting lost in a big lecture hall. Three-quarters of RMU's classes have fewer than 30 students.
Veteransbenefitsgibill.com named RMU one of the Top 25 most veteran-friendly universities in the nation.
RMU's experienced and growing faculty is a strong point too. With 177 full-time professors and another 200 part-time, the university can offer a wide variety of classes taught by experts in their fields.
A degree from RMU can help you get your dream job. Our graduates have an impressive placement rate, with 92% of alumni working or in grad school one year after graduating.
Our degree programs are flexible for both full-time and part-time students. We offer classes at our scenic suburban campus in Moon Township or online. And RMU is glad to offer one more reason for you to choose us: Veterans study free at RMU.

My wife now is in twentieth week of pregnancy. I would like to know which kind of music is the best for the baby's development, of if you can point me to some literature on the subject.
Any music you enjoy listening to, that you plan to play after the baby is born would be appropriate. Human voices are best for learning speech processing.
Newborns can recognize the voices of people whom they heard speaking before birth. Normal sounds, including mother's heart beat, walking, and parents' voices are appropriate for development. Some would say the most important sounds are voices, not music.
The developing brain is processing all the senses in an integrated way. Rhythm-- motion with music-- and prosody (emphasis with speech) are examples of multimodal integration that babies can process before they are born.
Consider taking a multimodal approach to sensory integration, rather than just focusing on one sense organ. Consider reading "The Integrated Development of Sensory Organization" by Robert Lickliter in the December 2011 issue of Clinics in Perinatology https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00955108/38
Here are some other references.
Based on what I've read (mostly a long time ago), it is good for baby to be hearing classical music in particular throughout gestation and into infant-hood based on anecdotal evidence.
While, admittedly, scientists can't really agree on what is going on, and scientific studies are inconclusive, there is general agreement that classical music has a positive impact of some sort - even just to make baby's neurons fire more often. This TED talk discusses babies learning in the womb in general. Many mothers will attest to babies responding to music before and after birth. There was also a study done that was well publicized around 2001 (the actual study is not available in full online) about babies recognizing music they were played while in the womb even at age one, but the study only tested 11 babies and doesn't seem to have had a control so scientists will generally not site it as scientific (and I have to agree). However, that doesn't mean the anecdotal evidence is completely worthless. This article sums up the commonly agreed upon ideas about music in the womb by the general populace - even if it is still theoretical and anecdotal. It mentions the belief that children will remember what they hear in the womb - based on that same study that only tested 11 children. Keep in mind the article is written by some one who wants to sell prenatal music to expectant parents.
This article speaks more about why the sound does not need to be loud for baby to hear it as well as the difference between what anecdotal evidence has told us about gestational music and scientific studies. Again, the anecdotal evidence seems to be there, but scientific study has been inconclusive.
It is important to be careful about how loud the music is. While sounds are muffled (not unlike what you hear of sounds from the pool deck when you swim), amniotic fluid does conduct sound nicely. Baby can hear you when you are just speaking. I've read one article that says no louder than 70 decibels and another that says no louder than 50. The article I linked agrees with the 50 decibel limit.
I recently read in one article, but also remember discussion about Rap and Rock within the context of the conversation. Many believe these genre's of music aren't generally recommended because some believe that exposure to chaotic and discordant music can have a negative effect. I would argue there are examples of classical music that are a bit "chaotic and discordant" while some rock songs are not at all "chaotic or discordant." Even Beethoven's second symphony has quite a few discordant notes representing the hiccups and burps he frequently struggled with due to gastrointestinal difficulty. Stravinsky is well known for using discordant combinations in his music. When I was pregnant with my little one, "When September Ends" by Greenday was on the radio a lot, so she heard it a lot while I drove to and from work. I swear she started dancing every time she heard it and she still loves the song.
IMHO, Use your judgement. Baby can hear you, music and whatever you are playing and doing through much of the pregnancy - even without any specific effort needed. If you want to do the music during gestation thing, try to choose music that is generally peaceful or up-beat - something that relaxes mom - and just play it on your stereo, but don't get particularly concerned about "perfect choices." There doesn't really seem to be strong evidence one or way or another about the music making a huge difference. Most likely, it impacts the child's ability to relax more than how smart or musically inclined they will be if anything at all.
There doesn't appear to be any evidence to support the idea that there is any concrete long-term benefit for playing music to babies still in the womb. There does appear to be a short-term improvement for specific spatial tasks found after listening to some classical music pieces (the so-called Mozart Effect), but the studies that introduced us to the idea were performed on college students, not infants in the womb.
While I don't think there's any harm to it, you'd probably be better off by having your wife read to the baby, or even just talk, as there are studies that suggest babies can recognize their mother's voice in the womb.
I spent a fair amount of time talking to my wife's belly when she was pregnant, as well. I don't know if it has the same effect as a mother talking, but it certainly made me feel more engaged, and that alone justifies it, in my opinion.
However, it does seem that infants can hear and recognize vocal rhythms and patterns, although the embryonic fluids and the mother's abdomen dampen out all but the lower frequencies. Babies may even be able to differentiate languages:
However, it is important to remember that the benefits of these fascinating aspects of in utero learning are limited:
I've heard all the same suggestions about listening to music and types of music and whatnot, and think it's all a bunch of bunk. Maybe it has some deterministic effect, but even if it does I think it's minor.
The baby's ears are hardly developed, and even if they were they'd be listening through inches of flesh. They aren't going to "hear" much; maybe just the bass rhythm. And there's not really any scientific proof that what one does hear in the womb actually influences development.
Exercise and diet are the things to focus on during pregnancy. I wouldn't worry about much outside that, until science proves otherwise.
After your child is born there are many, many things you can do to influence their development, and at that point music education (among many other things) definitely does have a proven role to play.

I'd like to be able to have an option when writing code snippets to identify it graphically as a counter-example or a demonstration of a mistake, not the actual code solution to the question.
I'm not a graphic designer so I don't know how it could visually distinguish itself; maybe red text? Red background-color?
Either way, I'd like some visual indicator so that someone breezing over the question will get an immediate impression that the code snippet is deliberately wrong for the sake of explanation and example.

|Stefano Giovannoni says that the most important influence in his life was during the late 1970s, when he attended the University of Florence. There, he encountered the concept of "radical architecture," which left its stamp on the expression of Italian design. The rules were gone, and he could see more possibilities for his creations. Since beginning his first studio, "King-Kong," in the 1980s, he established a reputation based on his cleverness and eye for communication, he has gone on to see many of his products, including the Paso Doble Chair, become commercial success stories for a diverse variety of manufacturers and applications. Having been a professor at several universities, Giovannoni is content now to advise up-and-coming designers to look further than the easy solutions and to focus on research. His work appears in several major museums throughout the world.

Q&A: Small Business Health Exchanges
The Obama administration recently revealed plans to delay part of a program designed to make health insurance more affordable for small employers. If you're a small-business owner, what does this mean for you?
For starters, the initiative is called Small Business Health Options Program, or SHOP. It's an insurance marketplace, or "exchange," for businesses with 100 or fewer full-time-equivalent employees. Each state will have one starting next year. Some states will run their own exchanges, while others will be run in part or entirely by the federal government.
The SHOP is a key part of the health-care law because it aims to help lower insurance premiums by spreading the costs and associated risks among a large pool of participants.
Average annual premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance in 2012 were $5,615 for single coverage and $15,745 for family coverage, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. That's up from $3,083 and $8,003, respectively, in 2002.
Related Video
Small businesses are not required to enroll in SHOP but those with 50 or more full-time equivalents must provide their employees with health insurance starting in 2014, or pay a penalty. The penalty is $2,000 for each full-time employee in excess of 30 full-time employees. There are no penalties if part-time employees aren't offered coverage. (See related story, "Some Small Businesses Opt for the Health-Care Penalty.")
Overall, about 73% of firms with 10 to 24 employees offered health insurance in 2012, up from 70% in 2002, according to Kaiser. Of firms with 25 to 49 workers, 87% offered insurance in 2012, the same as in 2002.
What does the delay mean?
Originally, the 33 state exchanges run fully or in part by the U.S. were supposed to allow qualifying small businesses to select several insurance plans to could offer to their employees. But a proposed rule released in early March by the administration would limit businesses to offering only one plan to their workers for the first year that the law is in effect. It's also possible that the 17 states running their own exchanges will enact a similar delay for 2014.
What kinds of plans will small businesses be able to choose among?
The exchanges will offer insurance plans from private insurance companies that will vary by state. Which insurers will join the exchanges, what kind of plans they'll offer and what they'll cost has yet to be determined because the exchanges are still being set up.
When will I be able to start using my state's exchange?
Enrollment is slated to begin in October of this year, at which time information on which insurance providers will be offering plans and more will become available. You'll be able to enroll online or via a toll-free phone hotline. The plans, however, won't actually take effect until January 2014.
Will I be able to get a tax credit if I use my state's exchange?
The answer depends on your size. If you have fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees, you may qualify for a tax credit of up to 35% of your premium costs this year and up to 50% in 2014.

It's safe to say that the snare is the most important drum in your kit. Keeping the pace for the rest of the band, a snare needs to sound its best both on the stage and in the studio, so making sure you have the right one for you is absolutely crucial. Snare drums are made with a lot of variety, and that is definitely reflected in this section.
With so many options available, you're definitely going to find the perfect snare for your kit. That said, because there are so many options available, having an idea of your needs and skill level can definitely go a long way in helping to narrow down your search for your perfect snare drum. Say you're building your first kit and are looking for an entry level snare that rocks, but doesn't break the bank, then you'll definitely want to check out an option like the Vision Birch Snare Drum from Pearl. This snare is loaded with powerful punch and an attack you're going to love. It offers incredible functionality, making it a perfect addition to nearly any kit. On the other hand, maybe you're a seasoned drummer who is looking to upgrade their kit and take their playing to the next level. If this is the case, a drum such as the Performance Series Snare Drum from DW might be just what the doctor ordered. This snare features a great maple shell that will help you shine during live sets and recording sessions alike. Highlighted by a deep, punchy tone and plenty of action, this snare definitely lends itself well to nearly any playing style. Of course, if you really want to wow the crowd, you'll want a truly special snare like the Bell Brass 10-Lug 6.5 x 14 Inch Snare Drum from Gretsch Drums. This brawny, brass snare offers absolutely incredible acoustic properties as well as smooth, pure timbre and controlled overtones. It also features a 30-degree bearing edge for a booming low end and sensational highs. Simply put, this snare is one of the finest you will ever have the privilege to play. A snare drum can make or break a kit, so shouldn't you make sure you've got the best one for you? Whether you're new to the drumming game or a touring pro, we've got the snare you need right here.

Chemotherapy uses drugs to enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body to kill cancer cells. The side effects from chemotherapy are from the destruction of normal cells. Chemotherapy may be given either alone, or with surgery, radiation therapy , or other medications.
Commonly used agents include:
Chemotherapy is usually given by vein, but some forms can be given by mouth. Your medical oncologist will tell you how many cycles or courses of chemotherapy are best for you.
The side effects and amount of time required in the doctor's office depends on the type of chemotherapy you receive, as well as how many cycles you receive and how often. The most common chemotherapy-associated side effects are:
A variety of drugs are available to help manage side effects such as nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue due to anemia. Ask your doctor what treatments may be appropriate for you to manage these side effects, and be certain to contact your doctor as soon as you begin to experience side effects. The earlier side effects are addressed, the more likely they will be controlled with a minimum of discomfort.

The Joel Test question #11 is: "Do new candidates write code during their interview?". What are arguments for and against to ask new candidates to write code during the interview and to make a decision upon it?

closed as primarily opinion-based by Jim G., MichaelT, GlenH7, Robert Harvey, gnat Jul 7 '14 at 22:09
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I don't see the cons. An interview has many parts, and a candidate should be endorsed 'up the chain' a few times.
I interview ~10 people weekly. I really, really, REALLY appreciate the fact that HR has done all of the background work and presented me with plenty of notes. By the time they get to me, it's time for me to score their tests.
The tests depend entirely on the position. Generally, I try to probe:
I try to keep it short, and fun. When I go into the office, I grab the answers, look them over and then conduct a secondary interview. To get hired, you typically have to get through three interviews.
I also gauge how well you will blend in with the team that will be receiving you. That team counts on me to do that effectively.
It is one thing to answer questions in meta form, it is another to actually produce code. If I'm going to hire you, I really need to see you produce code.
With apologies to Scott Whitlock:
If you were going to hire a juggler, you'd be insane not to have him juggle for you. Or a musician you'd have audition. Otherwise you get stuff like the awesome yo-yo "master" K-strass.
Walking through something on a whiteboard is the programmers equivalent of a quick demo juggle.
I think it's super useful, and I always do it, but since the benefits have been covered so well I'm going to discuss only the (apparent) negatives.
I think code tests are fairly unlikely to give you false positives: the odds are low that someone who actually can't write code will manage to fake it in an interview, at least if you have a scale of questions of increasing difficulty. (Perhaps the most likely scenario is they're cheating by asking a friend, if it's not a face-to-face interview.)
The problems are more on the false-negative side: will code tests lead you to reject the person who's actually the best candidate?
Stage fright
You may have someone who's actually a really good developer, but who is very nervous about this interview, and they get essentially stage fright. Performing under pressure is important to some extent, but dealing with stage fright is not such a key part of being a programmer (compared to other professions), and it would be unfortunate to reject someone who suffers badly from it. This can compound: if the person can't answer a question they know they ought to answer, they may get more up tight. Or, as in this question, they feel they can't talk and code at the same time.
mitigation: Start off with some getting-to-know-you questions about their background, goals, etc, before you jump into technical questions. Perhaps start with some easier technical questions so they get some momentum. Don't be a dick during the interview (quibbling about semicolons etc).
It's a noisy measure
Interesting code questions might have more than one correct answer. If one person writes a correct answer, and another writes a correct and more efficient answer, how much weight should you put on that?
To some extent this is like the problem with some "puzzle" questions: the person either has the insight or not and you get a nearly binary result. Intelligence probably affects the probability of having that insight, but sampling only a few times gives you a crude measure.
This bothers me about code questions (though I still use them.) The best mitigation I can think of is to as much as possible have a ramp of possible solutions: the person can at least write a crude brute force answer, or an answer for a part of the problem. Realizing that's better than nothing is a good sign. Then if they discover more, they can make it more efficient or more elegant code. As much as possible, avoid asking questions that get binary responses.
It's not really representative
Programming isn't a job of solving ten-minute algorithmic problems one after the other: there's lots more work about understanding and designing larger systems and concentrating for extended periods of time, to say nothing of the interpersonal skills. Code questions don't really test this.
But, code questions aren't the only questions you're going to ask: you can look at their background, their references, their open source work (if any), to find evidence of sustained effort, creativity, interpersonal skills.
Knowing how to solve small algorithmic problems and how to reduce them to code is a necessary but not sufficient condition: if you can't solve small problems and you can't write nontrivial code then all the big-picture thinking in the world is not going to make you a productive developer.
Anybody could solve that
No, apparently not. As the famous FizzBuzz post points out, problems you might think are trivial trap not only new graduates but people with years of industry experience. I don't know why. Either the code test is a poor measure (which is possible, though I think it's unlikely), or they weren't contributing very much to the projects on their resumé, or they were getting a lot done by copying-and-pasting non-algorithmic code (which is possible.)
It's worth acknowledging that you really can get a lot done without writing any algorithmic code. People make a lot of money on apps whose value is in the graphics or business logic not in what you might call "programming", and that's fine. But, if you actually need programmers, it's not a good fit.
It may not be well calibrated
If you come up with a question, the answer may very well seem easy to you. However, if you're asked any otherwise comparable question out of the blue, or a question that's not skewed towards your own particular interests and background, it may be much harder.
mitigation: Run the tests over some developers you already know, and see how they do. Perhaps someone already on your team, who you know is very smart, will have trouble with one of them and you can consider adjusting it. Perhaps they will think of a better or different answer.
It's too much like trivia
I think code questions certainly can get in to trivia, if you insist people know obscure APIs by heart, or get the syntax perfect, or remember the exact definition of a nontrivial algorithm. Those are all reasonable to rely on docs, web searches, or compiler errors to pick up, and have little correlation with real expertise. Not even knowing where the API's likely to be is perhaps a clue the person hasn't used it recently, but that's not necessarily a problem as long as they're not lying on their resumé.
So the answer to this is pretty simple: don't ask trivial questions and don't get hung up on trivial mistakes. Remind the candidate what the API is called or let them look it up; fix up syntax errors; don't test for people memorizing data structure definitions.
How do you compare?
If you have two candidates and both answer the questions well, how do you pick between them? You could choose the one who finished fastest, but perhaps there you start to pick hares over tortoises. You could do another round and ask much harder questions but I'm not sure about that either. Perhaps you just give them both an A+ and try to choose between them on other criteria (or try to find the money to hire both.)
Cons: None. Any time you spend setting up a PC, designing a code test, and reviewing it will save untold headache in the future.
Pros: "Trust, but verify" - Ronald Regan. So many times I've seen and heard of people finally let go from a position, where in the interview you'd think you were getting a rock star. The proof is in the pudding; I want to see what they can do. It will represent what happens once you invest time and money hiring someone and stick a new project in front of them.
One con I can think of is that it is hard to "code out loud" in front of other people. I find it hard even to type with someone looking over my shoulder, and I'm not alone. I notice when someone calls me over to their workstation to help with something, they suddenly start making typos, selecting the wrong code-completion, even making downright mistakes — none of which they would have made had I not been sitting right there. Hell, I've seen people start using the menu for cut & paste operations, just because they were under observation. This is not normal behavior, and the coders I'm talking about are excellent programmers and quite smart besides.
I recently had an interview in which the interviewer asked me how I would code a particular operation and he said, "Just show me the math." Well, I had to think about the problem first before getting to the math of it, so that had me hemming and hawing. What I put down on the white board at first was embarrassing, and I felt I was losing at that point. I eventually got the A-ha moment and found the answer (actually when it finally occurred to me what he was really asking), but the "mess" I made before I got there made me feel very uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I got the job, but if the interviewer had been less patient I might not have.
I think if you give interviewees a coding task, give them some time alone to work it out on a computer, perhaps even in an IDE they're familiar with. Let them write the code for you and then talk about it. Ask them why they did things a certain way, and whether another way might not be better. You will find out more from that kind of process than by asking them to (figuratively speaking) pee into a cup right in front of you.
When I interviewed for my current job, I was given a list of questions to write code for by the recruiter. I was very impressed because the questions were obviously written by someone who had a deep knowledge of SQL, so it works both ways.
You really want to have the person write code in the interview - even better, get them to pair program with a member in your team for X amount of time (whatever you can comfortably afford in time/manpower).
It's pretty much one of the only ways you can tell if that person can code or not.
I slightly prefer the pair programming as it'll show their team work, gives them a real IDE to work with and lets them work on a 'real' problem (the other person in the pair can guide them past any environmental specifics that the interviewee could never reasonably know about).
We've started using this hiring policy and we're really happy with the results.
You judge a bird by its feathers and a programmer by his/her code.
When I started with the current company I'm working for they asked me to write some C code that generates or checks the parity bit of some binary input (depending on whether you are encoding or decoding). This was an interview question exactly because these kinds of problems are solved during work. Of course I'm thinking of not parity checking but rather working on a low-level.
All the answers so far (which I read) didn't address the fact that the Joel Test is NOT (just) a best practice list for entrepreneurs but a check list to ease your evaluation of a prospect employer.
The thing is ... if they thoroughly test their candiates then they probably hire people who know their stuff ... that means for you
instead of bug-fixing after them ...
I would say:
One pro is that it shows that somebody does have basic knowledge of programming or whatever (the last time I encountered that, I was surprised how basic the SQL question was). It also can serve as a basis for a technical discussion, asking why the candidate did such and such, and how it could be improved.
It does take time in the interview, which could be used for other things. Moreover, writing code on a whiteboard is not a natural environment, and some people will have more and less serious problems with it. It could cause you to miss a developer who just gets nervous without normal tools or references.
Programming is a highly technical skill with a bunch of clear "deliverables." Either a candidate can or cannot deliver them. So there are no "cons" to asking technical questions. It's entirely in order to say, "show me some code for this application, or "show me the code for an application you have ALREADY written."
NOT doing so could lead to a result like the following: A rich man interviewed a tutor to teach his children to play chess (as a mind-expanding exercise). The tutor opened up a checkered board and started talking about the 64 squares but didn't touch a chess piece. Pressed for time, the father hired the tutor anyway. And the tutor taught the children to play CHECKERS.

so, I had a question. In it I had an error message. I wanted to make it stand out, so I put it in a blockquote
This is the error message
But this error message had angle brackets in it. This dramatically changed the nature of the question, and I think partially as a result, I got some answers that were led down the wrong track.
So, a few minutes later, I changed it. I initially considered a code block, but decided against a code block, because it was a long error message, and I didn't want to hide the information scrolled far off to the right.
This is <a sample of> the error message but look way over here is more information.
so I decided with an o be an inline code block
This is <a sample of> the error message
I liked this, and thought it worked well, so I did it.
Then a day later, I notice that the angle brackets are gone again? What happened?
According to the revision history, someone changed it back with the message of "formatting".
This is the error message
Sure, they formatted it, but it made my angle brackets disappear again.
So I changed it back. But the problem remains. Either I'm not doing it the right way, (and I missed a theoretically obvious right way), or the nature of angle brackets is not obvious.
What can we do to fix this? How can we make this site easier to use, and not lead people astray.

V-Tec stupid bros that think they are cool and lower the names of Armenian people. Wear their caps sideways to look like eastside rappers and tan their skin until they look like a negative image, their hairs goes white and their face goes black. They drive old hondas with different colored parts and put a used muffler just to sound it like a tuner, especiall with the CRX honda. They shave their eyebrows and legs. Their favorite words includ Bro, baban, dawg, and other gay shit.

hello, i'm new to the forum and finally i'm in the possession of a Nodal Ninja M1-L with RD16. After weeks and weeks it finally arrived. Very heavy (so less travel gear, as i hoped) but with a tremendous quality feel. I holds my D3 with 14-24mm really well. Only left nowto buy is the M1 nadir adapter. Because indeed a zenith is impossible with a 14-24mm on this rig, without the M1 nadir.
It's July. The month the M1 nadir would be available. Any news on this please, Nick?
Than i have another problem. A luxury problem. I wanted the Unlitmate M1-L that badly and waited alreay on a company for serveral weeks, that i ordered a second one elsewhere. Both M1-L;s came in the same week. So i have two now.
One Nodal Ninja Ulitmate M1-L panorama 360 tripod head is still sealed in its original packaging, unopened and of course brand new with 1 year warrenty till june 2013.
The set contains: (this is a completeM1-L tripod head with rotator)
1x RD16 Rotator
1x MFR-210, 210mm Multifunctional Rail with Bubble Level + Misc parts
1x QRC-65, 65mm Arca Stlye Quick Release Clamp
1x MFVR-170C, 170mm Vertical Rail
1x M1 7.5 Degree Upper Rotator
1x QRC-55, 55mm Arca Stlye Quick Release Clamp
1x MFR-170, 170mm Multifunctional Rail with Bubble Level + Misc parts
1x QRC-40A, 40mm Arca Style Quick Release Clamp
1x Camera Plate U1
You can pick it up in Antwerpen, Belgium. Shipping world wide as well, but i prefer shipment within europe. Becasue of the weight of this quality item, shipping will not be very cheap.
For sale at my private ebay account: bit.ly/jQEAbV
ebay object number: 120744575583
I hope i'm not offending anyone, because i use this board as a selling place. I'm not a professional seller or official vendor. Just a guy who ordered two NN M1-L's and wants to sell one. Only one will be sold. It's in stock and ready for shipment immidiately.
Please note that this is the Nodal Ninja M1-L with RD16 rotator. Which usually sells for 695 britisch pounds in the UK. Or a famous shop here in belgium and the Netherlands (fotokonijnenberg) is selling this combo for 719 euro. Any cheaper and it's the NN M1-L without a rotator. Watch out for this on the websites of sellers.
On ebay start bidding from 489euro. Highest bidder wins. Hopefully i can make some one else as happy as me with this fantastic piece of gear without having the pain of waiting weeks and weeks for delivery.

We will be taking a long trip by car that will be spread out over three days with a break for Shabbat in the middle. What is the halacha for saying Tefilat HaDerech (Prayer for the traveler)? is it said just once for the entire journey? Or do we say it the beginning of each days journey?

While what Shalom writes is the generally accepted view, there is in fact a halachic opinion (Pri Chadash 110:5) that Tefillas Haderech should be recited only once, at the beginning of the trip.
As a compromise, R' Shneur Zalman of Liadi states (in his Siddur) that it should indeed be recited on all days of the trip - including, he says, days when you're not traveling but are still away from home (e.g., when staying at a hotel); however, from the second day of the trip onward, the names of G-d should be omitted at the beginning and end of the blessing (i.e., start out "...יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ שֶׁתּוֹלִיכֵנוּ", and end with "בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה"). In this way there is no concern about reciting a possibly unnecessary blessing.
Whether to say it on Shabbos is a different question. Rabbi L.Y. Raskin, dayan of the Chabad community of Stamford Hill, comments (in his notes to R.S.Z.'s Siddur) that most likely it would be like other petitionary prayers, which are not recited on Shabbos.
At the beginning of each day's journey that you're travelling. Any mitzva that gets stretched out over multiple days gets a new bracha each morning (e.g. involvement in Torah study, which is a continuous obligation).
It should be said when you leave a city (or a place where you've spent the night) when you're leaving to travel through uninhabited areas for at least 72 minutes. It should be said a maximum of once per day.
In Hayom Yom for the 19th of Tammuz, the following custom of the Rebbe Rashab (5th Lubavitcher Rebbe) is recorded:
In Eliezer Wenger's book, The Travelling Companion, he brings sources that explain that:

WACO (January 29, 2013)--Residents in Waco and surrounding areas are invited to take part in a free storm spotting SKYWARN session Saturday.
Participants will learn about thunderstorm formation and tornadoes and will leave better equipped to determine the severity of storms.
They will be taught to recognize warning signs of severe weather as well as nonthreatening clues that are often mistaken for significant features of an upcoming storm.
The training will begin at 9 a.m. and last until 4 p.m. at the Emergency Services Education Center on Steinbeck Bend Road.
Reservations are not necessary.

A major contributing factor to many, if not all, autoimmune conditions is genetic damage through invasive factors such as vaccines compounded by cellular toxicity. I contend that cells collect and hold toxicity for the purpose of slowing down the many mutant pathogens, such as simian 40 retrovirus, released in the organism under the radar of the immune system by vaccines. The body knows that toxic substances—heavy metals and pesticides, for instance—are not only poisonous to the host, but also to pathogens. Such a Catch-22 can lead to environmental illness and immunological breakdown in which the body starts attacking its own toxic cells, but it may be the only choice a biosystem operating with damaged DNA has.

This question already has an answer here:
Edits are marked in bold:
How do I make an
InputField that behaves just like the following HTML Textarea example.
<textarea rows="4" cols="50">
Specific Features that are ideal:
- Text box has fixed height with scrollbar (The scrollbar must shrink to content size)
- Ctrl+a selects all content
- Enter key works correctly (The InputField auto scrolls to bottom as user inserts new line)
- The text wrapping works appropriately
I looked through the docs unable to find an example that follows those specifications.
This question is quiet close, but I can't seem to keep the content autoscrolled when the user enters a new line and the text wrapping isn't working correctly.

Protection of Property Service
What services do you provide?
The Directorate for People has a statutory duty to protect property under certain circumstances. Protection can be provided for moveable property when the owner has to go into hospital or a care home (including a care home with nursing) or is made the subject of a Place of Safety Order. The Local Authority must be clear that the property is at risk or in danger, and that no other person is able to act.
Buildings can be secured, which means taking reasonable steps such as locking doors and shutting windows. If valuables such as cash, jewellery, or antiques have been left in a property, or pets have been left alone, then further action may be necessary. Permission from the owner must be sought to enter the property, except where the person is unable to give it due to reasons of ill-health.
The usual practice is for a member of the Directorate for People's Protection of Property Team and a Social Worker to enter the premises and carry out any action necessary to protect the property, making sure that the owner's best interests are met.
How do I get the service?
To get a service from us, you must be in hospital, a care home or care home with nursing, or on a Place of Safety Order.
Is there a charge for this service?
There is no initial charge for the protection of property service.
However, if repairs need to be made or, for example, locks have to be fitted, or repairs are needed to keep the property safe and secure, a charge can be made. There may also be a small charge if we need to bank the property owner's cash or cheques, or store their property.
What standards can I expect?
The Directorate's Protection of Property Team aims to provide a quality service based on the following standards:
- Choice - If you need to go into hospital, residential or nursing home care, and your family, friends or neighbours are unable to look after your property, then you can ask Directorate for People to do so.
Sensitivity - If you wish us to protect your property, then access to your property, or any information about you, will not be given without your consent.
Reliability - The Directorate will take reasonable steps to protect your property while you are away. (This means taking the same precautions that you would yourself if, for example, you were going away on holiday). Keys will be given back to you when you are able to return home.
Amount of Service - Every effort will be made to ensure that all doors and windows are secure, that electricity, gas, and water are turned off, and that water tanks are drained in winter. Valuable items removed to a safe place.

(LOS ALAMITOS, Calif.) - Columbia College-Los Alamitos awarded $500 scholarships to David Marquez of Chino Hills and Carol Biri of Los Alamitos in honor of Frank S. Westling. Westling was a former dean of the college's Extended Studies Division, which serves adult learners and military personnel nationwide.
Marquez is a senior general studies major, 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army and JROTC instructor at Sonora High School. He and his students have participated in many community service projects, including park beautification and a food and toy drive.
Biri is a senior general studies major and president of the Columbia College-Los Alamitos chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society. She actively demonstrates leadership at Columbia College-
Los Alamitos by assisting with graduation ceremonies and organizing Alpha Sigma Lambda induction dinners.
The scholarship was awarded to one student at most of Columbia College's 30 nationwide campuses. To qualify for the Westling scholarship, applicants had to:
- Complete a scholarship application
- Pursue degree completion with Columbia College
- Have a minimum Columbia College GPA of 3.0
- Have residency of at least 15 hours with Columbia College
- Have a history of leadership and service to their community, school or country
- Write a 400-500 word essay on their achievements and career goals
"Columbia College is proud to offer this scholarship to students at our extended campuses," said Mike Randerson, Columbia College vice president for Adult Higher Education. "Frank Westling was instrumental in establishing the Extended Studies Division to serve working adults and military personnel, and he would be pleased to know the scholarship is helping fulfill the educational goals of students around the country."
Prior to joining the college, Westling served in the U.S. Army for 31 years and retired as a colonel. He was a highly decorated infantry soldier and was awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Medal and Silver Star.
The Westling Scholarship is a nonrenewable scholarship and will be awarded to a new student each year.
Columbia College was founded in Missouri in 1851. Today, the college serves 20,000 students at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Graduate Program, 30 nationwide campuses and Online Campus.

New Year, New Beginnings
It's hard to believe that it was only a few weeks ago that we were contemplating the end of the world. Not only did we survive the apocalypse, we survived the holidays!
Now the conversation is all about 'New Year = New You!' and making huge life changes now!
I prefer to work with the earth's gentle cycles as my guide. For me, the winter season is for hibernation and quiet contemplation … a time to go deep 'inside.' It is a time for rest (with so many hours of darkness) and for reflection, a perfect time to tap into dreams and journal.
When we attune ourselves with the seasons, we allow our inherent natural rhythms to flow, which are easy to follow and feel good about.

Vegan Stollen
- 1 recipe panettone dough
- 2 cups dried fruit/candied peel
- 2 cups toasted sliced almonds, or 227g marzipan
- melted margarine, for brushing
- icing sugar
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
1. Make the panettone as per this recipe but add the amount of fruit listed here. I like equal amounts of raisins, cranberries, currants, and candied peel.
2. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and dust the dough with flour. Divide into two equal portions and pat into a 7 x 5" rectangle. If using the marzipan, lay a 113.5g tube of marzipan along the long end of each. If using the almonds, sprinkle half of them over each rectangle of dough. Roll each into a loaf and seal the edges.
3. Transfer the loaves to the prepared baking sheet and place the pan in a cold oven. Turn the heat to 350 and bake for 25 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for another 25 minutes, or until golden brown and registering 185 in the centre.
4. When done, remove the stollen from the oven and brush with melted margarine. Dust with a good coating of icing sugar, wait one minute, then liberally dust again. Transfer to a cooling rack to fully cool before serving.

Top 10 Tips for Paying for College

Living at school is a great experience, but it's also expensive. If the campus is nearby, consider having your child commute. If he really wants to live on campus, compromise: have him live at home the first year and let him move to campus for his second year. One year alone can save you thousands of dollars.

Local Area
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is located 130 kilometers northeast from Cusco City, 2,200 meters above sea level. It is one of the world's most outstanding archaeological sites, the most important site in South America and the most popular attraction in Peru. Several trains depart from Cusco daily to Machu Picchu.
Koricancha Temple
Koricancha is the Quechua word for "gold zone." This site, built during the government of Inca Pachacútec, is thought to be a religious building where the Incas worshipped the sun. According to the historians, Koricancha's interior walls were covered by gold plates.
Visitors to this magnificent Inca fortress, which overlooks the city of Cusco, will be impressed by the beauty and monumental scale of this important Inca construction. Sacsayhuamán can be translated as either "speckled falcon" or "speckled head." The last interpretation refers to the belief that the city of Cusco was created in the shape of a puma whose head was the hill of Sacsayhuaman.
Unlike other ruins which build stone over time, these ruins shave the natural base rock and form a straight line with rectangular stone steps.
Puca Pucará
Puca-Pucara ("reddish fortress") takes its name from the color of the earth in the area. The building is made of small-and medium-size stones, with interior plazas, baths and aqueducts, and an old road that is easily recognizable. The construction exemplifies the traditional Inca style.
Referred to as the "Baños del Inca" or Inca baths, Tambomachay was a site for ritual bathing. The high quality of the stonework suggests that its use was restricted to the higher nobility, who may only have used the baths on ceremonial occasions.
One of the most impressive architectural complexes in the Inca Empire, Ollantaytambo is usually called a "Fortress" due to its magnificent walls. Actually, it was a Tambo, or shelter, located in a strategic place in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The fine architectural work, as well as the quality of each carved stone, make Ollantaytambo one of the most spectacular and amazing sites made by the Incas.
Inca Trail
The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is known as the most famous trekking route in South America, mainly due to its offerings of its scenic vistas and a wide variety of native flora and fauna.

I ran across the expression "as useful as a chocolate teapot" (or sometimes a fireguard) which is apparently used to denote the utter uselessness of something. It received some coverage on Language Log back in 2004. Where/how did the expression originate?

Eric Partridge and Paul Beale's Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (8th edition, 1984, s.v. much use as) gives an example of "chocolate teapot" from the Guardian, January 1979.
I haven't found any earlier examples, and don't know where it came about; though there are a few references to it on lists of Irish slang, I don't personally associate it with Irish English. The logic is presumably that if you used a chocolate teapot then it would melt, though research shows that this is not always true!
The expression was used in The Guardian of 17th July 1978 in an article titled "Barnsley bashers face the chop", written by Michael Parkin:
The phrase is repeated in The Guardian of 13th February 1980 in "Barnsley go down and the fans love it", again by Parkin:
A 1981 Google Books snippet also points to the terraces as origin for this ironic simile. Desmond Morris's The Soccer Tribe (1981) describes 'The Jokers':
Wikipedia confirms the date and says:
I found this in a Google Books snippet (so no further context) from The Accountant for 1981:
This suggests that the phrase may come from one of the many humorous business training videos which Cleese's company Video Arts produced in the 1970s.

Which sleep schedule results in more sleep debt?
Schedule 1:
Night 1: 8 hours
Night 2: 8 hours
Night 3: 8 Hours
Schedule 2:
Night 1: 6 hours
Night 2: 6 hours
Night 3: 12 hours
Which sleep schedule results in more sleep debt?
If this were a case of purely the maths then it would trivially be the second (because you'd have the debt for longer) - but the model is too simple, sleep depends on far too many factors to be reduced to this kind of calculation.
Using this website as the model, http://www.lifeevolver.com/pay-sleep-debt-smart/ here are my calculations.
Lets assume that you need 8 hours of sleep (and the above model is very sensitive to the goal number, most websites advise 6 to 8, but don't provide any help in deciding if someone who sleeps 8 really only needs 6 but are lazy or vice versa.) In scenario 1 you have 0 sleep debt.
In scenario 2 you have 4 hours of sleep debt after two days, but you only pay down 2 hours on the third day (because you can't pay more than 2 hours of sleep debt per day). So the final sleep debt is two hours.
If you assume 6 hours, you get very different results, 0 hours banked in scenario 1 and 0 hours banked in scenario two, but the sloth index (excess sleep) is way higher in the second scenario.
Based solely on my own personal and unscientific experience, whenever I follow a regimen similar to Schedule 2, the 2nd day I'm always much more tired feeling than the first day. I seem to be fine with a reduced sleep schedule on the first day, however it adds up the more you do it consecutively.
