  1. In the phpMyAdmin interface for your site, navigate to the correct table
  2. Click the SQL tab, and in the SQL query box...
  3. Using this code and replacing the ** with correct information, test to see if you are replacing the correct string 
    SELECT replace(*rowName*,'*original string*','*new string*'), *rowName* FROM `*table name*`
  4. if this checks out, then use this code to replace the string: 
    update *table name* set *rowName*= replace(*rowName*,'*original string*','*new string*');
  5. Check the results

I hope the BIG 3 read my blog.

When I lived up in the Catskills, on Route 28 ... just before the stretch of highway that is the main drag of Boiceville, you would cruise by a furniture shop with 1950s space rockets and hot rods in front of a Mom and Pop furniture shop.

This Article appeared today in the New York Times about Steve Heller, an industrial sculptor (who owns that mom and pop store), who has single-handedly created the type of design that American car companies should be creating. I mean, isn't that the cooolest thing you hve seen in ages? If that was a hybrid... you wouldn't be able to keep then in the store... even in this economy.
