strong light brownish amber with a big, two inch off white head. Lots of foam and lace left over from this one. Lots of visible carbonation was readily apparent. Smell was full of yeast and grain, a touch of alcohol was also present. Picked up some grassy aroma as well. The flavor was a classic tripel. Lots of yeasty flavors, plums, a touch of peach. A lot of bready grains mixed in as well. A touch of alcohol was definatly there and made its presence well known. Great smooth feel due to lots of carbonation. This was actually not as much of a sipper as I would have thought. I was easily able to drink this while walking around no problem. Not saying it would be a session beer, but not a snifter eaither

MSB Épluche-culotte Trippel pours up rather strongly with a moderate white head that rises above the slightly hazy, deep sunset-peach golden body. The lacy, white head dissipates rather quickly leaving some Brussels lace in its wake. The aroma is ripe with fruit (bruised banana, peach pit, blood orange) which emerges more as it warms along with some earthy (cilantro, grassy, leafy), floral (hibiscus, redbud, rosehip) & spicy (black peppercorn, coriander) notes from a combination of the abbey yeast, hops & spices. Alcohol is notable, but doesn't detract. The flavor starts off with some honey & candied fruit sweetness which is barely underscored light bitterness that carries towards a cloying, fruity, cheek warming finish. This bottle may be past its prime? Panty Peeler is certainly worth seeking out. Here's to the "spirited" tripel brewed in America's last frontier!

Poured a hazy amber/orange with a large frothy white head. Smells of cloves, peppers, spices, yeasts and citris. Malty sweetness to start then tastes of bananas and spices. Lively carbonation and a dry finish. Alcohol present but well hidden.

The Epluche-culotte pours an orange hazy with a normal center bubble fountain in the middle of the glass which I am used to seeing with the Tripel's. As I opened it, it went crazy wanting to jump to the glass and kept flowing like old faithful.
It was spicy to the nose as well as yeasty, orange and sour apples. The taste was strongly yeasty with a nice fruitiness to it. In the mouth you are left with sour taste on the finish. Seemed to be a little wild yeast in this one...
I found it to highly refreshing and was highly carbonated. The abv was pretty well hidden and maybe I should get my wife to drink a bomber to see if name holds true.

Thanks to the Beast for the bounty I am about to drink.
Pours a big big head, lots of carbonation, POPS! out of the bottle, like sugar smacks, dig em.
Smells like chiquita bananas perfume. Sweet, fruity, and spicy.
This beer is chock full o flavor. Tastes like it smells, sweet, fruity, and spicy.
Has a smooth sweet faint peppery aftertaste that lingers. It just keeps on getting better as you drink it down.
Can I get an amen? Testify to how good this alaskan belgian is. Praise beer.

Spewed out of the bottle when opened, but settled down in the glass with a good, but not overwhelming head that sticks around for the duration of the brew. No real lacing. Typical Belgian yeast smells, but a bit more stone fruit and no banana. Sharper in the herbal department than some with a bit of coriander. Somewhat sweet in the nose, but less so than some. Taste is a bit sharper than some Tripels, and less sweet and again more herbal. There is also a peppery bite on the finish. Some fruit, grapefruit, lemon, bitter orange peel and maybe green plum. All of the fruit is tempered by a bit of sweetness and a big herbal hit. Not sticky sweet in the mouth, but somewhat tannic. A bit challenging, but a unique take on the style.

4 finger foamy, rocky, white head with a film that laced nicely
Cloudy wheat yellow color
bready yeast, peachy, clove spice dominates nose
spicy hop, nice malt backbone, bready yeast flavors, all very nicely balanced. I cant taste a hint of alcohol, where is the 9%???
mouthfeel is nearly perfect for a tripel, coating but not too heavy.
This is the easiest 9% abv beer i have had in a long time.

Impressive for an american brew. This triple pours slightly more transparent than id like to see a triple, but a beautiful golden, yellowy orange. The head was quality and fluffy like it was straight out of the ardennes. The nose reeks of citrus fruit and coriander. Spices and hops delight. At first taste the spices and citrusy mellow creamy hops dominate. The high carbonation makes it slightly abrasive going down, but by slight I mean very slight. the finish is hoppy with a little orange peel flavor. fructosey residue on the lips. The mouth feel is quite smooth and bites a bit. (in a good way). very drinkable. The one amazing thing about this beer is that you would never guess ( that is if you didnt know it was standard) that this beer is 9% abv. Another good one from m sun, has some belgian characteristics. a good shot. Real good.

A: Cloudy apricot juice color with floaters. The head is sudsy but full, almost totally snow white.
S: White grapes, peach, coriander, orange peel and wheat.
T: Begins seductive and sweet, yet dry and commanding. Yellow fruits such as apricot, banana and white peach tantalite the tip of the tongue. Floral dryness comes next, working its way towards the center of the tongue. Just when I thought the sweetness had subsided, honey swashes explode in the mouth, bringing with it new complexity. Flavors of apple, guava and papaya swirl about the palate, mixing with a newly awakened simple malt backbone. Finishes with licks of vanilla around the sides of the tongue, biscuity malts and soothing pear.
M: Medium body, sort of syrupy.
D: Wow, this stuff is good. I dont generally consider triples a style I enjoy, but it just goes to show you that a well made beer regardless of style is good. If you like triples, find this beer.

Upon opening, this beer just gushes out of the bottle. So, after losing a few ounces, I get the bottle to the glass (let this be a reminder to always have a glass ready!). Pours a slightly cloudy orange/amber color with a 1 finger somewhat fizzy head that stays around pretty well but doesn't leave much lacing.
Smells of light, sweeter citrus and some pineapple. Light, but nice.
Taste is very gentle. Pineapples, light toffee sweetness and a touch of yeast character. Hints of spices. Very delicate and pleasant, yet I wouldn't mind a touch more complexity.
Mouthfeel is very light on the tongue, but also with a nice touch of creaminess and the right level of carbonation.
Drinkability is very good - alcohol is not noticeable and this drinks very easily.
Edit: After finishing the glass, I realized the flavor was deserving of a higher score. The delicacy on this is superb with a respectable level of complexity. Nicely done!

I poured a 750 ml capped bottle into a challis.
A: It poured a bright yellow with an orange hue. There was a healthy off white sticky head of about two fingers. The head receded leaving a rich thick lacing down the side of the glass.
S: It had a citrusy spicy aroma heavy with sweet malts and bready yeast.
T: Nice sweet light malts with an orange citrus flavor. There were hints of white pepper and coriander. It remined me of a glass of tang....sweet yet tangy. Well balanced blend of malts and hops. Not overly spicy.
M: Very full and creamy mouth feel. It has a nice hoppy tang without the bite of hops. The aftertaste is sweet and creamy without any sourness.
D: Very enjoyable brew. Well balanced and creamy with an excellent aftertaste. Might be a bit too filling for multiple bottles in a single session.
Comment: This is a nice brew that stands up well with any domestic tripel. I will buy this one again and again.

White, quick disapearing head. Reasonabvle smell and appearance. A nominal yummy fruity and smooth Belgian. Goes down great, and 9% is tolerable. Aggressive carbonation, otherwise wuitre drinkable with meat.. A very good beverage.

Split this one with my buddy Khiasmus, as usual.
An Alaskan Tripel, eh? With a... wait, is that a nude woman riding a reindeer? It certainly appears to be. Obviously the label censors don't visit Alaska, 'cause this bottle would never fly in SC. Heh. Curious. Into my Karmilet glass it goes!
I'm looking at a pale gold brew with a 3cm tight white head. The beer is a little cloudy. The head is pretty big and lasts a while. They got this part right fer shure.
Smells pretty sweet... but there's that peppery-clove smell I'm used to in the style, along with sweet floral notes and honey. Noticeable alcohol. Lacks some complexity and character more notable Tripels have, but it smells alright.
Hmm... yeah, this is sweet... lots of bright malt in this one. Not cloying, thankfully, but needs more balance. It's boozy, with some sour-apple esters and spice hints. Nutmeg, clove, pepper.
Slick and smooth in the mouth, maybe a little heavy (syrupy?). Warming and finishes sweet-sour.
I'm going to break with all the other reviewers and say Epluche-Culotte is... just okay. I do have to give props to those Alaskans for making Tripels about as far away from Belgium as it's possible to get. It's still worth a shot, 'specially if you're snowed under and the nearest beer store is 150 miles away.
Thanks to Edgelow for the trade!

22oz Bomber
Liquid Solutions
Bottled the 2nd week of June according to bottle. '07 I'm assuming
Epluche-culotte pours a deep golden with tiny floating particles you really have to look to notice which creates a slightly hazy appearence. Five or six streams of carbonation bubbles race to the surface. A one finger white head formed on the pour that quickly fell to a skim coat with a thicker ring around the glass. Leaves some patchy lacing.
This beer has a really uniue aroma for a tripel, one I wasn't at all expecting but is very welcomed. The aroma is loaded with a berry sweetness. Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, and (last but most noticeable) blackberry. A mild spicy dose of alcohol compliments the berry medley. Very interesting aroma and something I'm very fond of.
Flavor goes hand in hand with the aroma. Berry flavors abound. Blackberry kicks things off along with some mildly sweet raspberries. Strawberries come along on the finish with an appropriate pale/biscuity maltiness that's hardly noticeable but keeps things from being too fruity.
Medium bodied with a slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Glides through very smoothly with a pleasant warmth on the swallow from the alcohol.
I could drink this beer all night until I couldn't drink anymore. With all the berry flavors present I would think it would start to get too sweet but this beer hits the mark just before it turns too sugary.
A great tripel from Midnight Sun. Not at all what I was expecting from a tripel. The fruitiness is there but in a much different form from the fruitiness I'm used to seeing in other tripels. Great example!

Thanks to Edgelow for the trade on this one.
A- Looks like an Allagash tripel. Huge, pillowy head that lasts forever, and laces a bit. Slightly hazy, yellow/orange.
S- Clove, honey, malt, pepper, pine, alcohol, grapefruit, cane sugar, orange peel. Nose is excellent...
T- Much like the nose in all of the tinges, but finish is very sweet, too sweet. Fruity notes and a bit of spice.
M- Medium body, medium carbonation, and a lingering smooth, velvety finish that continues to hold the sweet flavor on your tongue.
D- Quite good, but barely garners an average in the style of tripel, mainly because of it being too sweet.

Bottle courtesy of Bu11zeye: Poured a slightly cloudy bright yellow color ale with a super huge foamy pure white head with great retention and great lacing. Aroma of spices (pepper?) and floral malt is quite enjoyable. Taste is surprisingly dominated by spices, sweet floral malt and huge alcohol which really destroyed the beer. Body is about average with some aggressive carbonation and alcohol is way too prominent. If there was a way too take some alcohol out of there and reduce the level of carbonation, I believe I could have found one good trippel with a good balance between floral notes and spices.

22oz bomber: This one pours with a HUGE off white head. It does linger for awhile. The color is very hazy orange-tinged dark golden hue. This one has a very nice aroma. Some spice, orange, banana and yeastiness. Very smooth taste. Flavors are very typical of a good tripel. A slight touch of alcohol in the finish, with maybe even a twinge of pineapple. A very nice rendition of the style.

Bottled second week of June, presumably in 2006. Been beckoning me for a while now, and I thank msubulldog25 for the generosity!
Huge release of gasses as the cap comes off, so a big sizzling head is no surprise. The bubbles number in the zillions, and the head becomes soft and creamy in no time. Color is a sunny toasted golden with amazing clarity. No chunks or floaters here.
Aroma is magnificent, if favoring the fruity side. Definite banana and apple esters, but all is not totally bright, as there's a dirty element swinging in the background, probably the combined efforts of yeast and alcohol.
Flavor is incredibly solid and well-balanced, with apple, banana and white grape supercharged by funky yeast and candylike maltiness. Finish is a little sticky, and here the stranger aspects of the flavor take hold. Not so bright and fruity anymore, is it? Don't even know how to describe the finish. Definitely bitter, definitely a little hot, definitely like spicy rotting fruit.
Mouthfeel achieves excellent balance between nippy carbonation and smooth creaminess.
A unique yet "true" tripel...no doubt what style it is, but it also sticks its neck out a bit. Have to drop the drinkability rating slightly, what with the high alcohol and unusual finish, which is slightly overbearing if you're doing this whole bomber alone. No big complaints, though...I'll work through this big bottle somehow...

A 650 mL bottle served in a Troegenator seidel.
A: The tripel pours with a huge head, coming in at 3 fingers in size. The color itself is a hazy darker yellow, almost orange, tone.
S: The ale has a spicy aroma, with coriander, honey and a yeasty funkiness leading the way.
T: The tripel has a very sweet taste that immediately registers with the tastebuds. The flavor is honey-like malts, concentrated in its intensity. There is also a very apparent coriander pepper flavor that is nicely accentuated by a dry anise character and some curacao.
M: The mouthfeel is dominated by the spice profile and it doesn't disappoint. The coriander is pleasant and really stands out.
D: A well-made tripel, this beer provides a requisite spice profile with a nice increase in the coriander. The beer is worth a look just in case it lives up to its name, 'Panty Peeler'.

2001 version. $1.99, you heard it here...
Sampled in an Ommegang chalice.
A: After a vigorous pour the two finger head dissipates quite slowly. Frothy at first before it bubbles down. A murky dark grapefruit color--almost rust color. Excellent retention.
S: Apple cider notes with belgian notes behind. Slight pear aroma also. Nice yeastyness with a swirl. Apple notes are a bit too strong.
T/M: Apple notes with a yeastyness too them. A bit too carbonated--burps galore. Thin with a slight hop presence in the finish. The "normal" yeasty belgian flavors are noticeable in the aftertaste.
D: Possibly a bit to appleish for me. Not many flavors in there--they're all sort of muddied together. Carbonation was also a bit to much. It is 5 years old so...I can't complain that much. Not bad for the age...

Smell: Funky melange of coriander, clove, bitter orange peel and yeast
Taste: Kicks off the culottes with a mirror of the aroma - yeasty and spicy; after the swallow, the green apple and bitter orange flavors drive in to join the fray; unfortunate, harsh finish detracts and lingers in the aftertaste

Tried this beer at a BA Gathering in Portland 23 Sept, 2006. Thanks to BA "MrNuggets" for providing the beer - also for the translation of "epluche-culotte" = "to strip one's clothes off", or thereabouts... Fortunately, there was none of that happening at our gathering...
A: Warm, clear golden Tripel with a sizable fluffy white head and gentle lacing.
S: Hefty fruit (pear, apple, orange peel) sweetness with substantial spiciness (zesty cinnamon & cloves) and esters of banana. Delicious smell, especially if paired with dessert. Discernable Belgian-ish yeast.
T: Similar notes as in the smell. Ripe sweet/tart fruit, a jolt of spice, some citrus zest and little bitterness.
M: Medium-bodied and with a bit of a syrupy mouthfeel. There is some lingering alcohol warth in the aftertaste to go along with the spices and esters.
D: A very enjoyable Tripel, one of the nicest US-made versions I've tried. Strong but within the style's range; not as well-masked as some "sneakier" Tripels that are so drinkable one winds up hammered almost without realizing it. Recommended - enjoy responsibly!

Golden color. Lightly hoppy aroma, which remains very fruity and yeasty, giving a nice blend of apples ,oranges, and pears, along with a touch of honey covered Belgian malts. Flavor is heavily sweet, overly so, but still full of rich toffee and caramel malt flavors. Full of alcohol, light fruits, light yeast, combined with a fairly watery texture. A nice, straightforward Tripel.

Light copper in appearance with a nice head that is supported by very active carbonation...very inviting.
Smell is a very nice blend of fruit, alcohol and spice.
Taste is a very unusual blend,,,malt...alcohol...spice...that blends together nicely.
Mouthfeel is a follow up of the taste. It satrts with some maltly, full bodied oily aspects but then morphs into dry, alcohol and tart aspects...very interesting.
Very drinkable for a 9.0 abv...A different tyype of offering that is deinitely worth a try.

Located in Lausanne's Ouchy district, the 4-star Château d'Ouchy, dating from the 12th century, constitutes an important landmark in the Lausanne area thanks to its noble bearing and the centuries of history behind it.
Nestled on the shores of Lake Geneva, it is gifted with a privileged view of the Alps.
The Ouchy district, a former fishing and goods exchange port, protects the shores of Lake Geneva and, in return, benefits from the stunning scenery.
The Château enjoys the natural surrounding tranquillity and the pure Alpine air. A real haven of tranquillity, it is an unmissable destination for those looking for a stunning residence that is out of the ordinary.
Book your stay
This former Château dating back to the 12th century, now a neo-Gothic style hotel, holds the traces of its past within its walls. Now, only the tower remains as a solid testimony to the 4-star Château d'Ouchy's history.
The history of the Château's construction was revealed for the first time in the Lausanne bishops' chronicles. Originally, it was planned that the Château would become a fort. The tower that is still standing was the first part of the Château to be built in 1177 by Bishop Landry de Durnes. One century later, Bishop Guillaume de Champvent extended the Château and created the town of Lausanne as an entity in its own right.
The Château became a hotel residence during the 19th century and was modernised by Lausanne architect Francis Isoz.
Today, only the Dungeon Tower has been kept intact and is now listed as a "historical monument".
The Château
The Château d'Ouchy, a real haven of tranquillity nestled on the shores of Lake Geneva, is an unmissable destination for those looking for a stunning residence that is out of the ordinary.
The Rooms
This charming residence houses 50 rooms, each one full of character with a fairy-tale atmosphere combined with modern comfort and conveniences, including 11 Junior Suites and two Suites with an enchanting castle tower feel.
The Restaurant
In a nautical setting, the restaurant and its terrace are the ideal place to enjoy Chef Edgar Bovier's creative cuisine. Using sun-drenched Mediterranean and regional products, his cuisine is sure to impress even the most discerning taste buds with his surprising fusion of ingredients.
The Bar
With its clean, yet chic lines, playing on the juxtaposition of noble materials, our Lounge Bar is the ideal place to unwind with a cocktail or glass of wine, accompanied by tapas in the early evening.

January 4, 2014 - These earrings are really nice! Mine look exactly like the picture. They are elegant, simple, and lightweight.
December 19, 2013 - I knew that my stones wouldn't look like the one in the photo as they are all different, but mine look like plastic with some bright yellow glitter in it. I've bought so many items from this site, this is the first (along with the ring) I was wholeheartedly displeased with. My matching necklace is nice though.
December 18, 2013 - very pretty, and lightweight so they don't pull your ear
November 3, 2013 - I just love these. Thanks very much.
July 8, 2013 - I bought these for my daughter who was born on 3/17, is 1/4 Polish and is now in Russia teaching. The color is very pretty although they are a little more delicate than I expected. I was so enamored by them I bought a pair for myself

Exhibition reception for artist Jodi Melnichak
A reception honoring the work of local artist Jodi Melnichak will be held at Morningside College from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29, at the Hickman Johnson Furrow Learning Center, 1601 Morningside Ave. The public is invited to the reception.
This event is to honor the local artist at the close of her exhibition in the learning center. The exhibition has displayed Melnichak's work in oil on canvas.
"The figurative content of the work is rich in color subtlety, value and textural quality. The figures have a compelling presence, and the paintings offer a varied perspective on their humanity," said Terri McGaffin, assistant professor of art at Morningside College.
Melnichak received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in studio art from Briar Cliff University, with a minor in psychology.
As a part of the reception, guitarist Keith Misery will be providing musical entertainment for the evening.

- 12 Jan 2014 LEONARDO Brazil
- " My friends and I really enjoyed Books, but the lack of bathrooms and the room without Air Conditioner was a big disappointment, one night a friend slept at the floor of another room because ours was so hot that it was impossible to sleep, when we arrived they told us that we could let the door of our room open so the air of another room (this one with Air conditioner) could enter in ours and refresh us, but this didn't work out and we lost all the privace of our room. "

DH and I are planing a Movie Night at home tomorrow. We neve do that as I am usually working inthe evening or there is a hockey game on but I am off tomoorow and no game. I got as a gift at out staff party 2 new releases at Gone Hollywood so now I have to decide what to look for we are not movie people so not sure what is out there. I had thought the New James Bond might be good as I have heard good reports on it also Australia with Nicole Kidman but I amnot sure if theya re both out on DVD yet. Anyone rented these and were they any good.
The previous James Bond movie (Daniel Craig's first) is out on DVD -- Casino Royale.
Saw the new James Bond movie on New Years Day and loved it. Though we are both fans. The movie came on in November 2008 so I woud'nt think its on dvd yet. I Heard Australia is very good but a long movie also not on dvd yet.
Try this
then you can google anything you are interested in and see trailers.
I haven't seen many this year either so I can't be of much more help. I did see the new Indiana Jones, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and enjoyed it, but I've liked all the Indiana Jones movies so .......
I think it depends on your taste - I'd like to see Sex and the City (especially her living room which has apparently jump started the blue rage that is supposed to be coming) lol. I don't know many men who enjoy it though. Your challenge is something you will both enjoy.
I don't see Quantum of Solace on that list which surprises me. It's surely out on DVD by now I would think - wasn't it released in theatres quite a while ago?
My son and I saw Water Horse and really enjoyed it - I don't know if the average adult male would though.
Please let us know what you pick and if you both liked it.

Speeding up Database Access with mod_perl
There are dozens (perhaps hundreds) of databases on the market, some of which run under Linux. One product which I have used, both in my own consulting work and in the pages of this column, is MySQL, a "mostly free" database (in the author's words) distributed by TcX DataKonsult AB. The "Resources" sidebar contains information on where you can download the source and binaries for MySQL.
The CGI programs we wrote in our previous encounters with MySQL used the Mysql module for Perl, which gives us access to all of MySQL's features. Mysql.pm continues to work just fine for most applications.
However, if you are interested in keeping up with the latest standards and trends within the Perl community, you should switch (as I have) to DBI, the generic database interface for Perl programs. DBI allows you to use the same code on any number of databases. That is, you can write a program that talks to MySQL, Sybase, Oracle or any other database product—and you will have to change only one word in order to port the program to another database product. This makes Perl a very powerful and portable database-access language.
DBI is divided into two parts: the generic DBI module engine, which can be downloaded from CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, and a DBD (database driver) for the particular brand of database you wish to access. There is only one DBI module, but there is a different DBD for each database you might wish to access. (See "Resources" for information on where you can obtain DBI and DBDs.) If you plan to use more than one database server, you will have to install more than one DBD. You can install as many DBDs as you want; they are installed in parallel, and thus do not conflict.
If you are using MySQL, then you will have to download the driver for Msql, the database on whose interface the MySQL API was modeled. Before it compiles and installs the necessary modules, the Msql-modules package asks whether you want to install DBDs for Msql, MySQL or both.
Once you have installed DBI and the appropriate DBD, you will be able to do just about everything you would normally expect from a database. The syntax is a bit different from the syntax we have seen in previous installments of "At the Forge", but is conceptually quite similar. It should not take you very long to start using DBI, once you have seen some examples.
Connections to the database are kept in a database handle, normally stored in a variable called $dbh. The database handle not only gives you a compact, object-oriented way to access database methods, but also means that you can connect to multiple databases at the same time, giving each connection its own database handle. (This might be useful when moving information from Sybase to Oracle, for example.)
The basic syntax is fairly straightforward:
$dbh = DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $password);
As you can see, the connect method takes three arguments. The first, $data_source, defines the database you wish to access, as well as the name of the computer on which the server sits and the access port on that computer. The second two arguments are theoretically optional, but most configurations will (and should) require them.
For example, most test programs on my home computer use the following syntax:
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:test:localhost");
Because I use the unprotected "test" database, no user name or password is necessary. A production site on which user names and passwords are required would use syntax like the following:
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:classifieds:dbserver", "classy" "51haf3");In the above line of code, we are again connecting with the MySQL DBD. But this time, we are connecting to the database named classifieds on a machine named dbserver, with the username classy and password 51haf3. Remember that user names and passwords on database systems are unrelated to user names and passwords on UNIX systems. For security purposes, you should use different passwords (and perhaps even different user names) with your databases than are actually in use on your system.
If the connection succeeds, $dbh can be used as an entry point into the database. If the connection fails, $dbh remains undefined. This allows us to use the following error-checking code:
&log_and_die($DBI::errstr) unless $dbh;
The &log_and_die routine is one of my old favorites (and probably familiar to long-time readers of this column), printing an error message on the screen and then exiting gracefully. Complete listings including the subroutine &log_and_die are available at ftp://ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue52/2991.tgz.
Now that we are connected to the database server, we can feed it one or more queries in SQL, Structured Query Language.
If we want to insert a value into a table in the database, we can simply say something like:
$sql = "INSERT INTO test_insert (contents) VALUES (\"$random\") ";
Putting the SQL query into a scalar variable before using it is not required, but helps if and when you need to debug the code. (This way, you can easily add a "print" statement in the middle of your program.)
With the query all set, we tell the database to perform the requested action using the do method. This returns a variable which I call $successful_insert; much like $dbh, $successful_insert is defined only if the query was successful:
$successful_insert = $dbh->do($sql); print "
Success!
\n" if $successful_insert;
Finally, we disconnect from the database. This is not completely necessary, since Perl will close connections when we are no longer using them. Nevertheless, it is always a good programming practice to clean up:
$dbh->disconnect;The above syntax is good for any SQL query from which we do not expect a result, namely INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE. (For more information about SQL, see Resources for some book recommendations.)
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Look, I think everybody here knows what to do if you want a Lego purse, and it rhymes with Betsy. But lets say, just hypothetically, that you were willing to plunk down quite a bit more cash. Really flaunt that all that gold you earned doing dailies. Then you're probably in the market for these Lego Handbags Karl Lagerfeld designed for Chanel's Spring/Summer 2013 show. The clunky clutches come with attachable straps, and probably hurt a lot less when you step on them barefoot then their tinier cousins.

Recently someone told me that love hurts. It made me think, and I have come up with a conclusion. Love doesn't hurt. Fists hurt. Words hurt. Fear hurts. Loss (of love) hurts. Unwanted, unconsented sex hurts. What we say and do to each other hurts. But love, in and by itself, is innocent of hurt. [...]

No, That Is Not
The Gila Queen... but it might as well have been. Like many people in New Jersey, New York, and Vermont, Kathy was hit hard by Hurricane Irene. And on top of that, her former webmaster had other commitments. I'm her original webmaster. And Kathy and I would both like to ask for your patience during this period of "rebuilding."
The next issue was about to come out when Irene hit. Kathy's power was out for days. And after it came back on, her computer began to act in unusual ways (sigh). So, while I clean up after the former webmaster, Kathy is cleaning up after the storm ... and computer peculiarities. Hurricane recovery is hard work. Computer peculiarities aren't hard, just maddening.

SF Supervisors Affirm America's Cup Races Environmental Review
On Tuesday night, Jan. 24, after a four-hour public hearing, the San Francisco board of supervisors affirmed the certification of the Americas Cup and cruise terminal final Environmental Impact Report and denied the appeal by Sierra Club and others. Read TIRN/SeaTurtles.org comments below.The AC EIR was certified with amendments by the supervisors that are designed to ensure that full environmental review is given to long term developments associated with the America's Cup "host and venue agreement" that are promised for the future.It appears that on the air quality issue, everyone is trusting the port and city that the Pier 70 shoreside power project to offset shutdown of shorepower at Pier 27 for cruise ships over two years will occur. It does look close but it is far from certain. Several supervisors who sit on the Air District Board asked questions about the pier projects and air quality piece, but in the end voted without any add-on language to make the air quality offset projects a sure thing.The next go rounds will involve the financial and development parts of the AC project that will be considered by the supervisors at a finance committee meeting on Feb. 8 and then before the full board on Feb. 14, as I understood it. The zero waste policy will be taken up by the port on Feb. 14.

September 14, 2010
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – (September 24, 2010) – The following is a statement in response to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Investment in Pancreatic Cancer Research Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2011 and Pancreatic Cancer: A Summary of NCI's Portfolio and Highlights of Recent Research Progress (September 2010) from Julie Fleshman, president and CEO of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, the only national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure. "The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network commends the NCI for conducting a review of its pancreatic cancer research portfolio and releasing the Progress Report and Fiscal Year 2011 Action Plan. This represents an important initial step towards a long term plan and investment by the NCI to better understand the disease and why it develops, and to identify detection methods and therapies to treat the disease once a patient has been diagnosed. "While the NCI has continued to increase funding for pancreatic cancer research in recent years, from $20 million in 2000 to $89.7 million in 2009, the fact remains that funding for pancreatic cancer research lags far behind that for the other top five causes of cancer death in the U.S. The lack of investment in pancreatic cancer research is reflected in the dismal five-year survival rate of six percent, which has remained largely unchanged in nearly 40 years. This statistic is especially troubling given that the overall five-year survival rate for all forms of cancer combined has increased from 50 percent to 68 percent in the same time period. Pancreatic cancer is now the only top ten cancer killer with a five-year survival rate in the single digits. "The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network hopes that the NCI will use the Fiscal Year 2011 Action Plan as a basis to develop a comprehensive long-term action plan—backed by robust, sustained resources—and stands ready to work with the Institute in this endeavor. We will also continue to do our part to advance research by collaborating with researchers, patients, families and volunteers to ensure that progress is made against pancreatic cancer and that survival rates improve substantially." The full NCI reports can be found online at: http://www.cancer.gov/researchandfunding/priorities. About the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network: The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is the only national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure. The organization raises money for direct private funding of research—and advocates for more aggressive federal research funding of medical breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network fills the void of information and options by giving patients and caregivers reliable, personalized information they need to make informed decisions. It creates a sense of hope and community so no one has to face pancreatic cancer alone. The organization helps support individuals and communities all across the country to work together to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for pancreatic cancer.

Ennis Travel Tips
Country Living at Ennis Vacation Rentals
Ennis is a destination you can visit and feel as though you have escaped to an entirely different world. The homes are spacious and set on large properties. Many of the homes are used as wedding venues and can accommodate large groups of people. If you want to teach your children to enjoy and appreciate nature, there is no better way than to stay in a place like Ennis for a while. Here, you are surrounded by beautiful mountains, rivers and streams with no city lights to interrupt your views. Most people come to Ennis to enjoy hours of fly fishing on the waterways. The region is rumored to have the best trout fishing for miles. It is also a destination where there are endless outdoor adventure opportunities.
Activities to Do near Ennis Cabins
The Madison River and its tributaries are popular fly fishing spots for both locals and visitors. Stop in at one of the local fishing and lure stores and have a chat with the locals. They may let you in on some of their favorite fishing spots. Fishing guides are also available to take you down the river if you'd like.
If you like faster paced river adventures, you can raft or kayak down the lower Madison River, the Gallitin River or Beartrap Canyon. Commercial operators run the rivers in season and tours can be booked through the local information center.
To explore the region in true Montana style, pull on your cowboy boots and get into the saddle. Trail rides on horseback are some of the best ways to enjoy the countryside. Guided back country rides can be arranged though any number of the ranches near Ennis. Some offer mult-iday rides where you can sleep out under the stars and see the northern lights.
There are many trails that can be explored on foot or mountain bikes. The lakes of Ennis, Harrison, Sure Shot or Hebgen are great for picnicking. There are many opportunities for wildlife viewing on the various trails; however, visitors need to be aware that it is bear country and take the necessary precautions. Yellow Stone National Park is just a short drive away; there, you can see Old Faithful, the natural geyser that shoots up into the air at regular intervals.
The area was once a place to which many gold prospectors flocked. If you are interested in the gold rush history, you can take a guided tour in either Nevada City or Virginia City. As part of the tour, you can ride an old steam train and pan for gold. There are also several ghost towns dotted throughout the region that you can seek out by exploring the back country roads.
In the wintertime, there are many cross country ski trails and showshoe tracks for exploring. Snowmobile trails cut through the forests and are great ways to explore during the snowy winter months.
Stylish Home Comforts at Ennis Lodging
Imagine staying in a historic old ranch house that has been perfectly restored. Furnished with antiques and home-like comforts, you can enjoy a taste of country living. Many of the vacation homes are spacious and large enough to accommodate several couples or families together. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms provide ample space for everyone. Large living and lounge areas provide space to congregate and socialize. The kitchens are generally well equipped. While they may be old in style, many have a host of modern appliances that make holiday catering easy and convenient.
Seasons to Visit Montana Vacation Rentals in Ennis
If you want to take advantage of the outdoors, you will want to visit in the warmer summer months which run from May through September. In winter, the region gets a fair amount of snow and cross country skiing is a popular pastime.

Detroit airport trams move on air
Detroit, Mich. - Two 35-ton, elevated Express Trams that glide silently on a cushion of air are the centerpiece of a $68 million vertical and horizontal transportation system installed at Northwest Airlines' new Edward H. McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Detroit Metropolitan Airport's Express Tram Otis Elevator photo |
Built by Otis Elevator Co., a United Technologies Corp. unit, the driverless, pollution-free automated trams provide passengers rapid transportation the length of the one-mile-long, futuristic $1.2 billion passenger terminal. Otis President Stephen F. Page said it is the only indoor, above-ground system of its kind in the world. Otis also installed 58 elevators, 57 escalators and 42 moving walkways at the new terminal.
Using Otis' Hovair technology, the trams rest on a cushion of air, rather than wheels, allowing them to travel silently on an elevated track 20 feet above the floor. Each tram is 112 feet long and can transport up to 4,000 passengers per hour in each direction, or nearly 200,000 people per day.
Otis has been in the global shuttle business for more than 20 years. Other Otis' major installations are at the J. Paul Getty Center in Los Angeles, Narita Airport near Tokyo, the Delta Air Lines terminal in Cincinnati, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
New systems are under construction at Huntsville Hospital in Alabama and at Unique Airport in Zurich, Switzerland.

It's never too early to know your organs of state. To this end, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is hosting what it calls the Intelligence Agency Community Kids' Page.
The page offers roughly a dozen links to U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agency sites, where children can learn about the institutional layout and various skill sets of each department.
For example, the NSA offers a primer on cryptology, led by a collection of trademarked characters like Crypto Cat and Decipher Dog. Youngsters can race through timed puzzles and try their hand at photo analysis with … Read more
If you're not the type to invest in a gas or charcoal grill, thankfully there are gadgets that still help you make professional-style hot dogs.
Take this Hot Dog Rotisserie by Giles & Posner: it cooks your hot dogs and toasts your hot dog buns at the same time. Three nonstick rollers roll your frankfurters to perfection, using the same method that's used at corner stores, movie theaters, and football games. And your bread or hot dog buns are toasted at the same time in the specially designed bun warmer on the side, so in a few minutes … Read more

On today's show, dogs, dogs and more dogs! Why? We have no idea. We talk about Bentley the driving dog, an animal abuser who gets served with poetic justice and, of course, the release of cutesy dog movie BOLT. A cell phone saves one man's life, Second Lifers get physical and Canada's biggest losers win in court. Also, angsty teen vampire flick Twilight drops this weekend, get out your Clearisil...
Dan the Mantern here. My favorite story of today is about how Second Life users are getting it on. This article from the BBC describes in vivid detail how to set yourself up for some 3-D lovin. Kudos to the creative programmers who busted out the code that allows for some pretty graphic depictions of virtual anatomy, but, come on people, is this really the way we want future generations to remember how we harnessed technology? Well, at least you don't have to worry about birth control...

McCain apologized for missing the show yesterday, he was in a serious make-up session before the big debate. Wouldn't want to look too much like Emperor Palpatine, now would we?
Dan the Mantern here. My favorite story of the day, besides Justin's report on his first ever hockey game last night, concerns a mysterious package of hot dogs. Apparently, a package wrapped in duct tape was located outside Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Police evacuated the stadium and, even after discovering the innocuous contents of the package, decided to detonate those red hots. A mist of charred beef smell immediately shrouded the city. Really? You're gonna waste a bomb on a pack of hot dogs? Couldn't they have just called in champion hot dog eater Takeru Kobayashi, he can swallow like 20 dogs every ten seconds. Even better, they could have airlifted a local Boy Scout troop to the scene for a good ol' fashioned weenie roast.
EPISODE 193 Download today's podcast … Read moreiRobot is offering deep discounts on its home products if you buy directly from its Web site.
We're wondering why, and it comes down to two possibilities, really.

Most recently, iRobot sent an e-mail letting people know it's offering $50 off its Scooba 380 model if you buy it before October 24. It normally sells for $450. That … Read more
