What Does the Black Sabbath Song Have to Do With Marvel’s Iron Man?
Most movie buffs have seen the various trailers for the new Iron Man film, which will be released in a little over a week from this writing. The usage of the Black Sabbath song “Iron Man” in the trailers has had me thinking, does the hard rock masterpiece have anything to do with Marvel’s metal-clad hero? It’s certainly not a “chicken or the egg” case, as comic book aficionados know that the superhero came first. But was the tune influenced at all by the character? Josh Glenn has offered an in-depth study of the mystery surrounding the song’s subject matter.
Using the Err Object to Trap Errors in Classic ASP
It’s inevitable that you’ll generate an error or two (or three, or four…) when you code in Classic ASP. I’ll show you how to trap errors and use them to your advantage.
Before working with the Err Object, it’s helpful to know its properties:
Property | Description | Example |
Number | Error number for the most recent error (helpful for trapping) | 7 |
Description | String containing a description of the error | Division by 0 |
Source | Source of an error, such as an object or application | Project.class |
Code Snytax
First, discover if Err.Number is greater than 0.
Doctors Testing Hot Sauce to Help Knee Pain
Courtesy of WJLA, ABC-TV in Washington, D.C. –
Hot sauce spices up your food and now Capsaicin, the thing that gives chili peppers their punch, is knocking out knee pain.At age 71, Ron Johnson said his knee is in better shape than it was in his fifties. “It was constant pain in both knees,” he said.
The spicy new treatment is part of a study using an ultra purified form of Capsaicin.

Recipe: Boneless Buffalo Wings
When I wrote the Love Hot Wings and Buffalo Wings? Here Are 15 Different Recipes You’ve Gotta Try article a few months back, I didn’t even realize at the time that I had left out a mention of boneless buffalo wings. Yikes! Since I’m a diehard devotee of Buffalo Wild Wings and the awesome boneless wings they serve, a recipe on how to make these tasty little guys is long overdue.
Why boneless? Everyone knows there’s nothing like sucking the meat off a succulent, perfectly-cooked, bone-in chicken wing. Going boneless, though, has it’s advantages. For one, you get considerably more meat per bite. Second, although they are smothered in sauce, there’s no mess on your fingers as you eat these babies with a fork.

Classic Tex Avery Cartoons That Predicted the Future
If you’re over the age of 30 (like me), you probably watched a LOT of the classic Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons when you came home after school. Ocassionally your local TV station would sprinkle in gems during those time slots that didn’t feature the main animal characters, such as the hilarious Tex Avery-directed “Tomorrow” shorts. I haven’t seen these in over twenty years, so it was a blast to see them again. Here are two of those cartoons that humorously prognosticated what television and automobiles would be like in the future:
Tex Avery – TV of Tomorrow
Tex Avery – Car of Tomorrow
The Best New Way to Make Eggs – The Ziploc Omelet
I’ve come across the coolest new method for cooking an omelet – place it in a Ziploc bag and boil it. The gist of it is, crack two eggs in a quart-size Ziploc bag (a sandwich bag would be too small, a gallon size too large), add ingredients such as cheese, peppers, onions, or ham, shake the bag up, seal it, and place it in boiling water for 13 minutes. What comes out is a steaming-hot, perfectly-cooked, rolled up omelet that you can top with hot sauce and extra cheese (if you prefer).

SQL Nuts and Bolts (Part 3)
We’ll be progressing from simply selecting records from a database to actually changing the data that resides in it. In this installment, we’ll add data with SQL’s insert statement.
The insert statement is a very straightforward one, and you’ll be surprised on how easy it is to add records to a database. Here is a simplistic example of what the code looks like:
INSERT INTO table_name (column_name1, column_name2, column_name3, column_name4) VALUES ('value_1','value_2','value_3','value_4')
The first of the two lines needed begins with the insert into clause, proceeded by the name of the table, then in parenthesis all the columns you wish to insert data into. The second line starts with the term value followed by the individual records that are to be inserted into the table. The specific records are enclosed in single quotation marks, separated by commas, and the entire group lays inside parenthesis…
