Fiction, morality and Nutella
by Kira Cochrane Published
Among my many and varied ponderings this week, the most pressing has been on the interplay between fiction writing and morality. If this sounds pretentious (and, lawks-a-Lordy, I think it just might) then it's worth noting, briefly, that I'm on holiday in a converted bread oven in the Loire Valley, and my other wide-eyed ponderings have been: Jeez, this is quite a small house but it must have been a really huge stove; wow, I never knew menhirs actually existed outside of those Asterix books; and, mmm, Nutella.
Anyhow: fiction writing and morality it is. In the past few weeks this topic has been much in the news. We've seen Irvine Welsh accused of misogyny after penning a suspect sex scene in his latest novel, The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs. Then there's been Günter Grass's admission, in his autobiography, that, despite his renunciations of Germany's Nazi past (in his fiction and beyond), he was drafted as a teen-ager and served - without committing any war crimes - in the Waffen SS. This has prompted a host of questions, not least: "Why did he wait until now to reveal this?" (Dark mutterings suggest simply to sell more copies of his autobiography.) And how does this reflect on his writing? Can someone be seen as a moral arbiter if their past conceals such a dirty secret, especially one so implicitly related to the object of their ire?
In both cases, although they are different sides of the coin (Welsh is called a misogynist because of something he's written; Grass's writing is questioned because of something he's done) the fiction and the writer are understood to be in some sense continuous. This is neither surprising nor really inaccurate: of all the creative arts, fiction writing is probably the one in which the artist's personality, ideals and outlook are most explicitly expressed.
I am not suggesting that all novels are autobiographical, but rather that they are all ego-driven. To have a positive response to a blank page, a response that springs from your own imagination and can power along for at least 200 pages, demands an intense interest in exploring your own psyche and what you see in the world around you, as well as a conviction that your personality and thoughts are fascinating enough to compel others' interest. If that's not ego-driven, what is?
It is also true that fiction expresses an edited version of our outlook, and an idealised one. We might depict hideous subjects or people or incidents, but these are dreamed up, included or rejected carefully, to communicate some essential truth about how we see ourselves and the world.
Which is why it's hard to dismiss altogether the accusations of misogyny against Irvine Welsh, whose book includes a scene in which an ancient woman demands sex from a young man and is subsequently described as having a "ludicrously extended clitoris" and an incontinence pad full of "faecal matter". Welsh has rebutted his critics by saying that he's not a misogynist but a misanthropist, but this doesn't actually rule out hatred of women - it simply avoids hierarchies of hatred by adding men and children to the party, too.
When it comes to Günter Grass, the secret of his past seems not to detract from the morality of his fiction, but to have informed it, consciously. The books remain the same; we just have more of an insight into the mind they grew from, and a sense that they might not have been so subtle or intense if he hadn't been trying to square his idealised moral outlook with the nasty reality of his teenage past. All of us can believe intensely in one thing and do or have done another, and the best fiction therefore doesn't deal with simple moral homilies but moral complexities. This is probably why many of the best writers and artists turn out to have lived such turbulent, contradictory, and even hypocritical, lives.
Grass's fiction is just as vital as it ever was. Unfortunately, however, this doesn't let him off the hook. Over the years Grass has been set up, outside of his fiction, as a moral arbiter for the German people, which has included him railing against Ronald Reagan and Helmut Kohl's 1985 visit to the Bitburg cemetery in Germany, where nearly 50 Waffen SS soldiers are buried. Seen in the light of his secret past, his behaviour at that time occasionally bordered on the ridiculous.
Grass's personal standing as a moral touchstone has been expunged. And yet, in time, people will probably appre ciate his books again. Because, for their work to be worthwhile, writers don't have to be morally perfect in their personal behaviour; they just have to be morally complex in their thinking. Now I'm off to find another menhir . . .

If a user is not provided, it slaps the user(s) selected in the nicklist. If no user is selected/provided then nothing happens.
If you use this in a window that is not a channel/query/chat window, do not say it has a bug. You are simply just retarded.

Can someone make this script so that whenever someone slaps me, it slaps them back using some phrase, so, I don't have to type /slap Thanks
I'll look into it this weekend.
it doesn't work anymore
yeah when he has a huge boredom episode lol.
I just cleaned up a few things.
napa182 - Yeah, I peer in from time to time.
my avatar is more OLD school...lol
It's funny you two gentlemen use the Hannibal Lecter avatars. :P
If you don't mind my asking, what is the latest update, napalm?
thanx jaytea, that suppressed the error i was getting.
Alrac, that error shouldn't prevent it from working, since the (single) long line in the page source does not contain the random phrase. mIRC will throw the error then re-trigger the event with the next line ready to be read.
if you want to suppress the error, you can add :error | if (line too long isin $error) reseterror to the bottom of the code, above the last '}'.
napalm`, about time you updated this =P jk. nice to see you still linger around this site. lol
i wish sum1 would update sprjukebox but i'ts beyond my know how.
update the code? or find someone who can?
i use sprjukebox as my mp3 server script, it works best with 6.21
i just tested it and it works fine on 6.32
and why can't you upgrade alrac?
RangerMan, you're encouraged to upgrade to the latest mIRC version. You're using a version that's almost 5 years old. The latest build patched various security bugs, fixes, and enhancements. I have no issue running napalm`'s script here using mIRC 7.19.
If, for whatever reason, you refuse to upgrade, at least use v6.35 and try running the script again.
i get this error when i run the /slap
using mirc 6.21
Yes, the site has been back to life, but it was dead for a brief period of time.
Code still works. :)
Yes OnJohnNo, that website's fried now.
I feel I should point out that the site the script pulls the words from is down for now (message about a server error coming up). I was wondering why my script wasn't working, and then figured it out.
At least, I hope that's the explanation. It's either that or my mIRC "is epic failure".
http://watchout4snakes.com/CreativityTools/RandomWord/RandomPhrase.aspx is the site the 'phrases' are grabbed from. If you will notice the phrases are in the format:
I doubt you are getting verbs. However, if you are, email the administrator of the aforementioned website to inform him that his 'Creativity Tool' has a bug.
www.watchout4snakes.com isn't giving me nouns.... it's giving me verbs.
i tried to rewrite it using a different site, but i dont know what im doing.
www.desiquintans.com/noungenerator.php is the site i wanted to use
/me takes out gun - give me the cookies :|
Thank you sooooo much Jethro_!!!
Works Fine. Good One Nap -_- 9/10
is there a way where someone else in the chatroom can use that slap command??@hsushoe:Yes, all you have to do is change this section of code: [quote]alias slap { var %n $iif($1,$1,$$snicks) if ($sock(slap)) sockclose slap sockopen slap www.watchout4snakes.com 80 sockmark slap $active %n }[/quote] To this one:
on *:TEXT:*:#: {
if ($strip($1) == !slap) {
var %n $iif($2,$2,$$snick(#,1))
if ($sock(slap)) sockclose slap
sockopen slap www.watchout4snakes.com 80
sockmark slap $active %n
Then the usage is for someone else in the channel to type: !slap Nickname If no nickname is specified, the highlighted (selected) nickname will be slapped.
P.S You can also keep the alias slap without changing it but to add the on text event.

BDS's 2015 Chevy Colorado Offroad before SEMA
The engineers at BDS Suspension picked up one of the first 2015 Chevy
Colorado trucks available and set out to prototype a kit in time for the
2014 SEMA Show. In less than a month the Michigan-based team developed a
6'' lift system for the new platform and turned it in to a show truck with
custom wheels, tires, lights, and accessories before turning the keys over
to drive the truck out to SEMA for the ultimate "road" test for the new
suspension, loaded down with promotional products. Along the way the driver
stopped for photos through Colorado and shot this video near Moab, Utah.
Stay tuned for more info on this kit once it is released in Spring 2015 for
the 2015 Chevy Colorado and 2015 GMC Canyon platform. For more on this
project head to the BDS Blog at http://bds-suspension.com/blog/?p=8164

2015 Chevrolet Colorado In Depth Review - Test Drive | DGDGTV
Ryder takes the 2015 Chevy Colorado on an in depth test drive to check out
the various enhancements and new features on this all-new mid size truck! |
With advanced technology to keep you connected and entertained, great fuel
efficiency, and unmatched safety and refinement, when you step into the
all-new 2015 Colorado, you'll know you want a truck.
Colorado is reinventing the midsize pickup from the frame up. It starts
with the latest technology. From an available high-speed 4G LTE Wi-Fi
connection to available advanced safety features like Forward Collision
Alert and Lane Departure Warning, this is one smart small truck. Under the
hood is an available 3.6L V6 that offers an EPA-estimated best-in-class 26
MPG highway fuel economy.
But don't let the efficiency fool you – the same V6 also provides
available best-in-class towing and payload. And with a sleek design and
quiet, refined interior, Colorado might feel like an upscale sedan, but
it's all truck.
Providing available best-in-class power and towing, Colorado offers
advanced 2.5L I-4 and 3.6L V6 engines. And joining the engine lineup for
the 2016 model year: the highly anticipated 2.8L Duramax® turbo-Diesel. No other North American midsize
pickup offers a turbo-diesel. But no
matter which engine you choose, impressive performance and remarkable
efficiency ride shotgun on every trip.
Fuels adventure with less fuel
The V6 engine in the all-new 2015 Colorado achieves an EPA-estimated
best-in-class 26 MPG† on the highway by implementing innovative
powertrain technologies like Spark Ignition Direct Injection and
deceleration fuel cutoff, which shuts off fuel to the engine when braking.
The 2.5L I-4 engine boasts an impressive 27 MPG highway.† Available
Active Aero Shutters — a first among small trucks — are programmed to
open and close behind the grille, reducing aerodynamic drag and increasing
efficiency further. Because you shouldn't interrupt your trip to stop for
Carry more while you carry on
Colorado boasts best-in-class horsepower, payload and
towing, meaning it's more than capable of handling just about anything
you might need to move.
That's the same 3.6L V6 engine that also delivers an EPA-estimated
best-in-class 26 MPG† highway fuel economy. With the available trailering
package, this small truck is rated to tow up to 7,000 lbs.† —
delivering all the power you need to tow your adventure gear.
The 305-horsepower
engine produces 269 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing Colorado to carry 1,590
lbs.† That makes moving everything from couches to camping equipment to
dirt bikes a breeze.
To enhance the unrivaled towing and payload provided by Colorado, an
available 6-speed automatic transmission features a button-activated
Tow/Haul mode on 3.6L V6 models. Tow/Haul mode helps minimize upshifting
and downshifting, whether you're hauling a trailer or carrying a load of

Why is Microsoft Office so hard to kill?
Apart from the popularity of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, Office happens to be the world's most successful rapid application development platform
It's the question that vexes free open source software advocates and commercial competitors around the globe: Why is Microsoft Office so difficult to dislodge from its perch atop the IT heap? Is it the exclusive bundling deals? The deep Software Assurance entrenchment? Steve Ballmer's backroom deal with the devil?
The answer, of course, is none of the above (though some evidence of a Microsoft-Hell alliance exists). Rather, it's the Office ecosystem -- the vast library of third-party add-ons and vertical solutions built (with copious encouragement from Microsoft) on Office's extensive programmatic model -- that makes Microsoft's suite so hard to kill.
[ Microsoft Office 2010 is looking good. See InfoWorld's first look and a guided tour of Office 2010 highlights. Return to the review of Office alternatives, SoftMaker Office 2008 versus OpenOffice.org 3.1. ]
Consider: A word processor is just a word processor -- until it's mated with a sophisticated macro/template package that transforms it from a generic text editing program into a task-specific custom forms utility. Likewise, a spreadsheet is just a spreadsheet -- until it's linked to a series of complex SQL stored procedures that allow the commodities trader in the next cubicle to perfectly time the market.
Microsoft Office isn't just a productivity suite. It's the world's most widely deployed Rapid Application Development (RAD) platform. Worse still (for would-be competitors), Office is insanely easy to develop for. The Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) language is almost universally understood by Windows developers, and the suite's built-in Macro Recorder makes creating and debugging new projects ridiculously easy. In fact, I wrote much of the OfficeBench test script using code snippets generated by the Macro Recorder in Office 2000. It was a great way to learn the Office object model and remains one of the suite's hidden strengths to this day.
Any attempt to topple Office means declaring war on the army of in-house and third-party ISV developers who have built their livelihoods around the suite's ever-expanding library of automation and integration APIs. So unless you can provide a viable alternative to VBA, OLE Automation, and the rest of the Office programming model, don't expect to make much headway in your quest to dethrone the king. The minions are definitely not on your side.

Muncy, Pennsylva...
last summer, i went to lycoming college for this week long business camp thing, and they had these vertical backpacks in their bookstore. i'd never seen anything like them, so i bought one. for the entirety of my senior year in high school, everyone thought i was going to lycoming college because the name was printed on the front. i realized that since i'm going to mansfield university, i needed a new backpack. i liked this style so much that i decided to duplicate it in my own way. i used these old blue curtains that used to hang in my grandfather's room, and green curtains that were meant to hang in my room, but were never used. i figure that the strength of both curtain fabrics will help keep my backpack from breaking soon. i also used red suiting fabric which i cut nto bias strips for the edging details. i added pockets to the inside (the old backpack i had didn't have pockets, so i was always losing my pencils). when all the sewing was finished, i hand painted on the rectangles. my friend spencer gave me the idea at the end of the school year when he made a shirt with the same general design.
i absolutely love this bag, and i can't wait to take it to school with me. =]

Client handout: General behavior questionnaire
There's no denying it—pet anxiety causes problems for pet owners. You can help by starting a behavior program at your practice. Click here for a downloadable survey for your clients to fill out.
Be sure to keep the surveys in the pet's medical record so the technician can review them and pass on an accurate assessment to the doctor. "That way when an owner complains that Max is urinating in the house, the veterinarian can flip back through the histories," says Dr. Lisa Radosta, DACVB.

FDA Expands Bortezomib Label for Multiple Myeloma
Silas Inman
Published Online:
August 11, 2014
Michael Vasconcelles, MD
The FDA has expanded the bortezomib (Velcade) label to allow for retreatment in patients with multiple myeloma who previously responded to the proteasome inhibitor, according to an announcement made by Millennium/Takeda, the companies that manufacture the drug.
The expanded approval was based on findings from the phase II RETRIEVE study that explored intravenous bortezomib retreatment in 130 patients with multiple myeloma. In this study, readministration of bortezomib in patients who received a median of two prior therapies resulted in an overall response rate (ORR) of 38.5% for a median duration of 6.5 months. The expansion to the indication was also accompanied by dosing guidelines, efficacy, and safety updates.
"For the past 11 years, Velcade has played an important role as the only therapy proven to extend overall survival for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed multiple myeloma," Michael Vasconcelles, MD, global head of Oncology Therapeutic Area Unit, Takeda, the manufacturer of the drug, said in a press release. "With these newly approved dosing guidelines, physicians will be able to provide their patients, who have previously received Velcade, with an effective treatment extending Velcade use across the continuum of care of multiple myeloma."
In the open-label, single-arm phase II RETRIEVE study the retreatment dose was determine by mirroring the last tolerated dose received in a previous bortezomib-based regimen. This was allowed to range between 1.0 and 1.3 mg/m
twice weekly for two weeks followed by a 10-day rest period. The coadministration of dexamethasone was allowed in the trial.
The most common all-grade adverse event was thrombocytopenia, which occurred in 52% of patients in the study. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were thrombocytopenia (24%) and peripheral neuropathy (6%). The most commonly reported serious adverse reactions were thrombocytopenia (3.8%), diarrhea (2.3%), herpes zoster, and pneumonia (1.5% each). Adverse reactions that led to the discontinuation of bortezomib occurred in 13% of patients.
In a large meta-analysis that examined the safety and efficacy of bortezomib retreatment in patients with multiple myeloma, similar results were found for 1051 patients across 23 studies. Results from this literature review were published in the June 2014 edition of
Clinical Lymphoma Myeloma and Leukemia
Across all studies, the weighted average ORR was 39.1% with a median time to progression of 7.5 months. The median overall survival (OS) was 16.6 months. Better ORR was seen in patients who received fewer therapies (≤4) and were relapsed but not refractory prior to retreatment. For these patients, the ORR was 43.4% and 57.2%, respectively. The higher ORR for relapsed only patients was mirrored in time to progression (8.5 months) and OS (19.7 months).
In this analysis, the most common grade 3/4 adverse events included thrombocytopenia (35%), neutropenia (15%), anemia (14%), pneumonia (10%), and peripheral neuropathy (3%).
In 2012, a subcutaneous administration route for bortezomib was approved by the FDA, based on results from a phase III study showing equivalent efficacy to intravenous administration. In this study, the ORR with subcutaneous bortezomib was 43% compared with 42% in the intravenous arm in 222 bortezomib-naïve patients with multiple myeloma.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — A former Duluth youth basketball coach has been convicted of sexually assaulting two preteen sisters.
A jury in St. Louis County found Wendell Greene guilty of having sexual contact with the girls, ages 8 and 10 at the time of the assaults.
The 37-year-old former Marine and Minnesota Air National Guard member was convicted of three of four counts of criminal sexual conduct Wednesday.
The Duluth News Tribune says Greene coached for a variety of basketball programs, including middle school girls in Duluth and Hermantown.
In a separate case Greene has been charged with having sex with a 14-year-old girl during the summer of 2010. That case is expected to be tried later this year.

Has Sriracha jumped the shark?
That's the opening line to Huffington Post's article regarding Subway's new Sriracha Chicken Melt and Sriracha Steak Melt.
Their headline, however, is "Subways's Sriracha Sauce Goes National, And It's Good"
Thoughts? Who's gonna try one?
The crazy thing about sriracha is that the company that makes "rooster sauce" does zero promotion, zero advertising, and zero marketing. It's more or less run by one guy who says he pays no attention to how his product's selling. Any stuff like these subs (or the sriracha-flavored Lay's chips) is just capitalizing on the flavor itself, which is fine with me.
re: Boston_Otter
There are lots of different brands of sriracha. The "rooster sauce" is just one brand. Now, much of sriracha's popularity could probably be attributed to the rooster sauce, but it's not the only game in town.
Serious Eats did a taste test of various srirachas. http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/06/ta...
As for Subway having it on a sandwich, well, Subway just follows the trends. Sriracha is trendy right now.... many people out there will eat something just because it has sriracha in the name.
As for trying the sandwich, probably not. I rarely go to Subway and if I do, it's spicy italian all the way for me.
re: juliejulez
Yup, I've got a Thai brand in my fridge right now; I just think it's interesting that the American-based Huy Fong "rooster sauce" folks don't actually seem to be aware or care about their surge in popularity and current trendiness :)
re: Boston_Otter
Sriracha should be stored in fridge???
re: drongo
No, but someone put it there.
re: jbsiegel
Amen to that! from another NJ native.
There are other companies making Sriracha sauces in the US these days. We have a bottle of Kikkoman Sriracha sitting on our shelves - I haven't tried it yet though.
Subway's sandwiches need all the help they can get, lol.
Just as a quick followup -- I tried the Sriracha Chicken Melt for lunch.
The sauce is pretty good stuff. It's surprisingly spicy; usually "hot sauce" at fast food places is very wimpy, but it's got a good burn, a lot of flavor, and it'd go well on lots of things. It has that garlic-chili flavor that sriracha does, so hey, not bad.
re: Boston_Otter
That's good to hear that the sauce still has burn especially since it is a "creamy Sriracha sauce". I know a lot of people like mayo mixed with sriracha.
re: ferret
<Do condiments jump the shark?>
To jump the shark means to try something so ridiculous and desperate that it exposes the bankruptcy of what was once a good idea. If Huy Fong Foods decided to market sriracha-glazed cronuts stuffed with bacon and quinoa, that would indicate that Huy Fong Foods had jumped the shark. But plain ol' sriracha sauce would be just fine.
re: small h
I get that and am well familiar with its Happy Days origins. I'm just perplexed at its application in this context. Condiments are either obscure or commonplace, so its presence as a potato chip flavor or appearance in a Subway special means that its now reached the acceptance level and widespread recognition of habaneros or wasabi-flavored sauces. "Jumping the shark" just seems misplaced here.
re: ferret
I agree. I think what the OP is really asking is whether sriracha is "over." (No. No more than fish sauce or smoked paprika.)
re: ferret
I agree that its use is a bit misplaced here. If anything, it's Subway that's doing the jumping. Off the tracks and onto the Sriracha bandwagon! (Not that it's a bad thing.) I predict that sriracha packets are going to become more commonplace!
Taco Bell has a winner with any of their products that incorporate the use of Doritos. I am sure Subway is hoping to replicate that success.
Bottles of Sriracha on the table at Per Se would definitely be jumping the shark.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- The tax rate for all Lee County property owners, is expected to stay the same for the coming year.
Today, commissioners approved a rate that is the same as the past several years.
However, some property owners could see an increase in taxes, because their property values likely have gone up in the past year.
The property appraiser will send out tax notices, in a couple of weeks.
Commissioners will take a final vote on the budget in September.
