I love this song, especially the version with Louis Armstrong and Ella singing duet. It is all about how hard it is for two people in love to be compatible with each other. It's about compromise and finding a common ground, and that's what this article is all about.
PHP is all about creating dynamic web-sites with the least fuss and the most fun. To create these websites we need to use databases to retrieve login information, to splash dynamic news onto the web page and store forum postings. So let's say we were using the popular MySQL database for this. Your company has done such a fantastic job that the Web site is more popular than your wildest dreams. You find that MySQL cannot scale to handle the workload; time to switch databases.
 Unfortunately in PHP every database is accessed slightly differently. To connect to MySQL, you would use mysql_connect(); when you decide to upgrade to Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, you would use ocilogon() or mssql_connect() respectively. What is worse is that the parameters you use for the different connect functions are different also.. One database says po-tato, the other database says pota-to. Oh-oh.
Let's NOT call the whole thing off

A database wrapper library such as ADODB comes in handy when you need to ensure portability. It provides you with a common API to communicate with any supported database so you don't have to call things off.

ADODB stands for Active Data Objects DataBase (sorry computer guys are sometimes not very original). ADODB currently supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Interbase, Microsoft SQL Server, Access, FoxPro, Sybase, ODBC and ADO. You can download ADODB from http://php.weblogs.com/adodb.
MySQL Example

The most common database used with PHP is MySQL, so I guess you should be familiar with the following code. It connects to a MySQL server at localhost, database mydb, and executes an SQL select statement. The results are printed, one line per row.
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "password"); mysql_select_db("mydb",$db); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employees",$db); if ($result === false) die("failed"); while ($fields = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { for ($i=0, $max=sizeof($fields); $i < $max; $i++) { print $fields[$i].' '; } print "
\n"; }

The above code has been color-coded by section. The first section is the connection phase. The second is the execution of the SQL, and the last section is displaying the fields. The while loop scans the rows of the result, while the for loop scans the fields in one row.

Here is the equivalent code in ADODB

 include("adodb.inc.php"); $db = NewADOConnection('mysql'); $db->Connect("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb"); $result = $db->Execute("SELECT * FROM employees"); if ($result === false) die("failed"); while (!$result->EOF) { for ($i=0, $max=$result->FieldCount(); $i < $max; $i++) print $result->fields[$i].' '; $result->MoveNext(); print "
\n"; }

Now porting to Oracle is as simple as changing the second line to NewADOConnection('oracle'). Let's walk through the code...

Connecting to the Database

include("adodb.inc.php"); $db = NewADOConnection('mysql'); $db->Connect("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb");

The connection code is a bit more sophisticated than MySQL's because our needs are more sophisticated. In ADODB, we use an object-oriented approach to managing the complexity of handling multiple databases. We have different classes to handle different databases. If you aren't familiar with object-oriented programing, don't worry -- the complexity is all hidden away in the NewADOConnection() function.

To conserve memory, we only load the PHP code specific to the database you are connecting to. We do this by calling NewADOConnection(databasedriver). Legal database drivers include mysql, mssql, oracle, oci8, postgres, sybase, vfp, access, ibase and many others.

Then we create a new instance of the connection class by calling NewADOConnection(). Finally we connect to the database using $db->Connect().

Executing the SQL

$result = $db->Execute("SELECT * FROM employees");
 if ($result === false) die("failed");

Sending the SQL statement to the server is straight forward. Execute() will return a recordset object on successful execution. You should check $result as we do above.
An issue that confuses beginners is the fact that we have two types of objects in ADODB, the connection object and the recordset object. When do we use each?
The connection object ($db) is responsible for connecting to the database, formatting your SQL and querying the database server. The recordset object ($result) is responsible for retrieving the results and formatting the reply as text or as an array.
The only thing I need to add is that ADODB provides several helper functions for making INSERT and UPDATE statements easier, which we will cover in the Advanced section.
Retrieving the Data

while (!$result->EOF) { for ($i=0, $max=$result->FieldCount(); $i < $max; $i++) print $result->fields[$i].' '; $result->MoveNext(); print "
\n"; }

The paradigm for getting the data is that it's like reading a file. For every line, we check first whether we have reached the end-of-file (EOF). While not end-of-file, loop through each field in the row. Then move to the next line (MoveNext) and repeat.
The $result->fields[] array is generated by the PHP database extension. Some database extensions do not index the array by field name. To force indexing by name - that is associative arrays - use the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE global variable.
 $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_NUM; $rs1 = $db->Execute('select * from table'); $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC; $rs2 = $db->Execute('select * from table'); print_r($rs1->fields); // shows array([0]=>'v0',[1] =>'v1') print_r($rs2->fields); // shows array(['col1']=>'v0',['col2'] =>'v1')

 As you can see in the above example, both recordsets store and use different fetch modes based on the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE setting when the recordset was created by Execute().

ADOConnection

Object that performs the connection to the database, executes SQL statements and has a set of utility functions for standardising the format of SQL statements for issues such as concatenation and date formats.

Other Useful Functions

$recordset->Move($pos) scrolls to that particular row. ADODB supports forward scrolling for all databases. Some databases will not support backwards scrolling. This is normally not a problem as you can always cache records to simulate backwards scrolling.
$recordset->RecordCount() returns the number of records accessed by the SQL statement. Some databases will return -1 because it is not supported.
$recordset->GetArray() returns the result as an array.
rs2html($recordset) is a function that is generates a HTML table based on the $recordset passed to it. An example with the relevant lines in bold:
 include('adodb.inc.php'); include('tohtml.inc.php'); /* includes the rs2html function */ $conn = &ADONewConnection('mysql'); $conn->PConnect('localhost','userid','password','database'); $rs = $conn->Execute('select * from table');  rs2html($rs); /* recordset to html table */

There are many other helper functions that are listed in the documentation available at http://php.weblogs.com/adodb_manual.
Advanced Material

Inserts and Updates

Let's say you want to insert the following data into a database.
ID = 3
 TheDate=mktime(0,0,0,8,31,2001) /* 31st August 2001 */
 Note= sugar why don't we call it off
When you move to another database, your insert might no longer work.

The first problem is that each database has a different default date format. MySQL expects YYYY-MM-DD format, while other databases have different defaults. ADODB has a function called DBDate() that addresses this issue by converting converting the date to the correct format.

The next problem is that the don't in the Note needs to be quoted. In MySQL, we use don\'t but in some other databases (Sybase, Access, Microsoft SQL Server) we use don''t. The qstr() function addresses this issue.

So how do we use the functions? Like this:

$sql = "INSERT INTO table (id, thedate,note) values (" . $ID . ',' . $db->DBDate($TheDate) .',' . $db->qstr($Note).")"; $db->Execute($sql);

ADODB also supports $connection->Affected_Rows() (returns the number of rows affected by last update or delete) and $recordset->Insert_ID() (returns last autoincrement number generated by an insert statement). Be forewarned that not all databases support the two functions.

MetaTypes

You can find out more information about each of the fields (I use the words fields and columns interchangebly) you are selecting by calling the recordset method FetchField($fieldoffset). This will return an object with 3 properties: name, type and max_length.
For example:

$recordset = $conn->Execute("select adate from table");
$f0 = $recordset->FetchField(0);

Then $f0->name will hold 'adata', $f0->type will be set to 'date'. If the max_length is unknown, it will be set to -1.
One problem with handling different databases is that each database often calls the same type by a different name. For example a timestamp type is called datetime in one database and time in another. So ADODB has a special MetaType($type, $max_length) function that standardises the types to the following:
C: character and varchar types
 X: text or long character (eg. more than 255 bytes wide).
 B: blob or binary image
 D: date
 T: timestamp
 L: logical (boolean)
 I: integer
 N: numeric (float, double, money)
In the above date example,
$recordset = $conn->Execute("select adate from table");
 $f0 = $recordset->FetchField(0);
 $type = $recordset->MetaType($f0->type, $f0->max_length);
 print $type; /* should print 'D' */

Select Limit and Top Support
ADODB has a function called $connection->SelectLimit($sql,$nrows,$offset) that allows you to retrieve a subset of the recordset. This will take advantage of native SELECT TOP on Microsoft products and SELECT ... LIMIT with PostgreSQL and MySQL, and emulated if the database does not support it.
Caching Support
ADODB allows you to cache recordsets in your file system, and only requery the database server after a certain timeout period with $connection->CacheExecute($secs2cache,$sql) and $connection->CacheSelectLimit($secs2cache,$sql,$nrows,$offset).
PHP4 Session Handler Support
ADODB also supports PHP4 session handlers. You can store your session variables in a database for true scalability using ADODB. For further information, visit http://php.weblogs.com/adodb-sessions
Commercial Use Encouraged

If you plan to write commercial PHP applications that you want to resell, you should consider ADODB. It has been released using the lesser GPL, which means you can legally include it in commercial applications, while keeping your code proprietary. Commercial use of ADODB is strongly encouraged! We are using it internally for this reason.

Giffords pleads for gun curbs; NRA fights back
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 6:19pm EST
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Severely wounded and still recovering, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords begged lawmakers at an emotional hearing Wednesday to act quickly to curb firearms because "Americans are counting on you." Not everyone agreed, underscoring the national political divide over gun control.
Giffords' 80-word plea was the day's most riveting moment, delivered in a hushed, halting voice two years after the Arizona Democrat suffered head wounds in a Tucson shooting spree that killed six people. The session also came two months after 20 first-graders and six women were slain by a gunman who invaded Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
At the same hearing, a top official of the National Rifle Association rejected Democratic proposals to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and said requiring background checks for all gun purchases would be ineffective because the Obama administration isn't doing enough to enforce the law as it is.
Even if stronger background checks did identify a criminal, "as long as you let him go, you're not keeping him from getting a gun and you're not preventing him from getting to the next crime scene," said Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president. He said poor enforcement is "a national disgrace."
Giffords, who retired from Congress last year, focused during her brief appearance on the carnage from armed assailants.
"Too many children are dying," she said at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. "Too many children. We must do something. It will be hard, but the time is now."
Guiding her in and remaining to testify was Mark Kelly, the retired astronaut who is Giffords' husband. The couple, who both owns guns, has formed a political action committee called Americans for Responsible Solutions that backs lawmakers who support gun restrictions.
"We're simply two reasonable Americans who realize we have a problem with gun violence and we need Congress to act," Kelly said.
Wednesday's session played out in a hearing room packed to capacity. While both sides appealed to their followers beforehand to arrive early and fill the room, most in the public audience of around 150 appeared to be gun-control sympathizers, including relatives of the shootings at Virginia Tech.
"There should be gun control," said Neeta Datt of Burtonsville, Md., who with Christa Burton of Silver Spring, Md., was first on line for public seats. Both are members of Organizing for Action, the Obama political organization that is now pushing his legislative agenda.
The hearing kicked off a year in which President Barack Obama and members of Congress are promising to make gun restrictions a top priority. Obama has already proposed requiring background checks for all gun sales and reviving both an assault weapons ban and a 10-round limit on the size of ammunition magazines, and several Democrats have introduced bills addressing those and other limitations.
After the hearing, Giffords and Kelly met privately with Obama at the White House.
At the Capitol, senators' remarks during the hearing illustrated the gulf between the two parties.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, joined others in lauding Giffords but expressed little interest in curbing firearms.
"Unfortunately in Washington, emotion I think often leads to bad policies," said Cruz, a freshman elected with strong tea-party backing. He said gun control efforts too often "restrain the liberties of law-abiding citizens," not criminals.
Republicans blamed the nation's gun troubles on a list of maladies including a lack of civility, violent video games and insufficient attention to people with mental problems. Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, top Republican on the panel, said that while he welcomed the renewed focus on guns, "The deaths in Newtown should not be used to put forward any gun control proposal that's been floating around for years."
Democrats countered that a need to improve gun restrictions was obvious. Sen. Charles Schumer of New York said omitting gun limits from the debate "is like not including cigarettes when discussing lung cancer."
Republicans and the NRA are not the only hurdles Democrats face in trying to push gun legislation through Congress this year. It is also unclear what several Democratic senators facing re-election in GOP-leaning states in 2014 will do, such as including Sens. Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the committee's chairman, said he hoped his panel would write gun control legislation next month, though he did not specify what it might contain. In his opening remarks, he voiced support for requiring broader background checks that would help keep criminals and the mentally ill from obtaining firearms, and he has also introduced legislation that would make it a federal crime for someone to purchase a gun for a person who would not be legally allowed to have one.

Macoupin County Courthouse
The Macoupin County Courthouse, built in 1870, used to be the largest county courthouse in the United States, with the possible exception of one in New York City. It was even larger than the Illinois Statehouse. While the courthouse still serves as the seat of county government, it has also become a showplace that attracts tourists, architects and artists from across the country, as well as overseas.
Macoupin County Jail
The historic 1869 Macoupin County Jail was designed by E.E. Meyers. It was built using the "cannon ball" method which prevented jail breaks by making it nearly impossible to remove the blocks. This unique medieval-inspired fortress housed many lawbreakers during its 119 years of use, but only one prisoner escaped. He was soon apprehended a few blocks from the jail.

Very comfortable!
I had a similar shoe for over a year and I looked to the Tyson as a replacement. The Tyson fits very well with good support. I wondered about the TruWalk and didn't see any discussion on it. When you're walking, it seems like you are almost assisted by the shoe. Walking seems more natural and easier.
I was worried that standing would seem strange, but it is actually better. You are more active while standing and aware of your feet. I think this may help when I'm at trade shows and standing for a long time.
If you look at the side view you'll see that the instep is lower and shorter. I have a tall instep arch and this shoe is easier on my instep than any other I've worn.
This is a very comfortable show and looks good too. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great design - Shoddy workmanship
These shoes were so promising; they looked better than expected, were so light, and so comfortable. I wore them twice, and decided to wear them on a 17 hour flight. On the way to the airport I noticed that the thread was unravelling where the leather was sewn on to the elastic side panel. The thread seemed not sturdy enough for the job, and the workmanship was shoddy. It is truly a shame that such excellence in design is undone by inadequate execution.

Day Off, Buenos Aires
Managed a good nights sleep in my shiny new room (identical to my previous one but an exact mirror image which is most weird. I keep walking into walls when aiming for the bathroom, etc). Spent the morning in the room working on show stuff and putting some thought into some longer term ideas about future U2 tours. This sounds a bit dramatic, but theres no better time to discuss live shows with the band than when we are in the thick of a tour. Right now its a very real, tangible subject, rather than the vague memory that it will be by the time we start the design process for the next time round. Ive no idea where well head next, but its interesting to think about, so I may as well make the most of having access to the whole band every day.
Spent the afternoon in another meeting discussing the forthcoming TV and film shoots, before finally escaping from the hotel and managing a stroll to the local park. It was a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon and whilst weve been running round in ever decreasing circles, it seems that the rest of the world has been having itself a pleasant weekend. The park was busy, with a guitar player entertaining a recumbent audience and lots of little arts and crafts stall selling a familiar selection of homemade goods with a local slant. It was very very nice to get out.
Come 8pm or so the concept of dinner reared its head and I felt like it was time to make the effort to find a different part of the city. Ive been here for days and have barely left the block where the hotel is situated. Got a tip to find the Placa Dorengo in the San Telmo district that, I was told, had walking streets and typical restaurants, which sounded pretty on the money. Allen and I went by ourselves first of all, later being joined by some of the film lighting crew. Our contact had not lied to us, as Placa Dorengo turned out to be a small beautiful old square of picture book quality. We strolled around a bit and found a whole load of quaint looking places, plus some carnival activity, but in the end settled for the little place in the corner of the square and found a table outside. The square was very quiet as it was still early by Buenos Aires standards, but there was no shortage of fine food and vino tinto so we just got on with it.
Our companions arrived about 10ish, by which time things were livening up. A small band appeared in the square and before long a couple were tango-ing their feet off on a makeshift dance floor by the bandstand. The square was getting busy, as were the cafÈs and we could see through one of the cafe windows a couple tangoing on a table. It was a beautifully warm and still night and eventually, along the little sidewalk, a few other couples began practicing their steps. It was all overwhelmingly charming and hard not to feel like we were sitting on a film set. Here we are in Buenos Aires, where people really do tango in the streets. I think we all felt the absence of our respective better halves more keenly than usual, as this was a magical place and very much the kind best shared.
By 1am the place was really starting to get going, but we bailed as some of us have an early start in the morning. Ive bookmarked the Placa Dorengo though, and have a feeling Ill be back here before the weeks out. I have such great memories of tango in Buenos Aires from the PopMart tour when 20 of us took lessons from the very brave Delores, who dared to attempt to teach a road crew to dance. Her partner Juan turned out to be something of a name in tango clubland and took us to a few fabulous places. Sadly however, we have not been able to trace Juan and Delores this time round. I tried Google, but searching for tango lessons in Buenos Aires is like doing a search for taxis in Manhattan, so it seems were out of luck. Maybe theyll come to the gig and find us, you never know

Petition For More Research, Awareness, Training For Med School Students & Doctors For Chronic Pelvic Pain Frequently Caused By Pudendal Neuralgia/PNE
Chronic Pelvic Pain can be caused by Pudendal Neuralgia (PN).
This is a factual statement, backed by the internationally accepted, diagnostic paper 'The Nantes Criteria' published in 2007. Yet, many people worldwide are still suffering unduly from this debilitating condition. Many are wrongly diagnosed and therefore remain in pain without hope of targeted treatment.
Please, think about this. Patients with bladder problems, urinary frequency, bowel dysfunction and genital pain, men with erectile dysfunction, penile pain and prostatitis, women with endometriosis, dyspareunia, interstitial cystitis, and fibromyalgia who have been unresponsive to treatments typical to these more universally diagnosed problems, may have Pudendal Neuropathy.
The pudendal nerve and its branches take a tortuous path through the pelvis and can be compromised at any point, just like any other peripheral nerve. However, many doctors are unaware that the condition exists, while other peripheral nerve entrapments, such as carpel and tarsal tunnel syndromes are eminently accepted pathologies.
Because of this medical neglect, PN patients find that it takes 1-15 years to get a correct diagnosis with an average of 4 years. This is of course, before any positive treatment can be prescribed and then undertaken.
These unfortunate circumstances result in compounding medical and social difficulties for the sufferer, including depression, hopelessness and an often huge personal financial burden, not to mention a severe drain on government budgets due to any subsequent benefit hand-outs.
Misdiagnosis can also lead to wasteful, expensive treatements, unnecessary surgeries, and prolonged nerve trauma. Worryingly, the longer any nerve is compromised, the less likely a good outcome.
One of the reasons Pudendal Neuralgia has been over looked is the lack of a medial specialty and its exclusion from medical school curriculum.
The pelvic area also has a conflicting overlap of medical specialties because of its anatomical location. For instance, a neurosurgeon would not usually examine gynaecologically, while a gynaecologist would not always happily treat nerve problems; so the PN patient falls neglected between many medical modalities and a correct diagnosis remains elusive.
Thankfully, some neurosurgeons, urologists, hip surgeons, gynaecologists, pain consultants and plastic surgeons have taken a personal interest in the problem in an attempt to alleviate their patients' suffering.
Currently, there is no standard of care for patients with Pudendal Neuralgia. Patients typically must become their own advocate and often travel exceptional distances to find a diagnosis and hopefully treatment, resulting in further financial constraints. Treatments however, can be as simple as pelvic physical therapy with a knowledgeable PN aware practitioner, although those resistant to conventional treatments may require decompression surgery.
The enigma is, as recently reported, PN can be easily diagnosed!
We, the undersigned, ask that more attention and research be given to pelvic nerve entrapments including the Pudendal Nerve which affects many vital sensory and motor functions of the pelvis. We especially request that Peripheral Nerve surgeons in America and worldwide sense the urgent problem that Pudendal Nerve entrapment entails, and develop appropriate and timely diagnostic testing and treatment. We implore all Medical Schools, and Medical Associations to communicate the problem of Pudendal Neuralgia to every student. It deserves their attention and yours.
We also ask that you try to bring as much general awareness to this condition as possible through medical conferences, meetings, speeches, and publications. Although Pudendal means shame, we are not ashamed to spread the word, and hope you will help us.
There are only a mere handful of surgeons in the world who are offering treatment and surgical decompression of the Pudendal Nerve and its branches. We thank them for the compassion they have shown and their research into PN which has been beyond their own (varied) specialties but has proven so necessary.
The majority of patients suffer silently and terribly, with an extremely poor quality of life because of the sexual, physical, financial, and social limitations that this disease causes.
On behalf of all PNE sufferers, we are eternally grateful for your help. Thank you so much.
sheila Jacques
Having suffered 12 months of debilitating pain that has taken me from an active life as a carer, to suffering at home with pudendal nerve entrapment, now catheterised unable to pass urine myself and having difficulty with bowels. Totally unable to sit,I am now awaiting surgery in Bristol UK. I would really like to raise the awareness of this awful condition and cannot praise the team enough here who are offering support. I therefore lend my name to this petition and hope it helps others on this journey and difficult decision for the relatively new surgical approach.
Fiona MacGregor
Dear Sheila, as you can see i have only just joined this forum and have been so wanting to find out how many others there are 'out there' who are in the same boat. You mentioned that there is a supportive 'team' in Bristol UK. Please can you tell me if you have been operated on or are awaiting an Op and what treatment for pain relief you have been given in the meantime. I had a Hysterectomy via the vagina (therefore it was pulled out of me) rather than cutting across above the pubic line and have suffered from terribly pain (all the usual; burning inside the vagina, unable to sit, electric shocks in the vagina, having to wait ages to pass urine, often the feeling of being kicked between the legs by a horse, sciatica as a secondary from the PNE. With anti-mflamatory tablets and the medication Rivotril the pain is under control, BUT i realise that after such a long time with the pain the next step is to be operated on... can you tell me if you are being operated on through your bottom to try and release the nerve? I would like to know what you have been told and advised with regard to the recovery period. I live in France and have eventually by going privately, been advised by the Dr who invented the Op which relieves the pain, by cutting through the bottom to find the nerve.... I would like some feedback as I am aware that there is only a 70% chance of total pain relief, 29% of not making it better and 1 % of sadly making it worse. i really would appreciate some feedback. Many thanks. Fiona.
Most doctors have never heard of it, please educate them! So many sufferers undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and told to 'live with the pain'. In this day and age should we live a life of disability when they are treatment options available, our doctors just don't know of them?

LedaHairGreyThick or Coarse HairGreatI have used bedhead sprays for years. I just now tried this. I like to use it after my hair is like I want it . It gives a good shine. I like it to toouch up between shampoos.posted Jun 21, 2011Link to this post
Rhonda H.MontanaHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat Smelling Hair SprayI was looking for a hair spray that doesn't give me a headache or make my hair dull and this is my new favorite aeresol! It has a nice citrusy smell but not too strong and makes my hair really shiny! I'm using it as a finishing spray and it holds the style really well. Folica's price is less than the salon price so I got it here.posted May 10, 2011Link to this post
JulieMt. Morris, ILHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairCan't Live WithoutI love this hairspray. I was buying it at the salon but it wasn't cheap. I found that Folica saves me a few bucks......It doesn't leave your hair sticky....love it!posted Jan 28, 2011Link to this post
TerriThe BestI have been hooked on Masterpiece spray for 3 or 4 years now. I have tried many and it really provides a great hold without weighting your hair down. I could buy it locally but it is $4.00-5.00 more per bottle! It is such a great deal on folica!posted Nov 26, 2010Link to this post
AlexandraHairDry HairMust Have!!!My hair is REALLY dry, and frizzy. Nothing can control my frizziness and i've used many shampoos and conditioners. However, hairsprays tend to make my hair even more dry and dull. I got this as a gift for my birthday and i didnt even expect to use it but i had the travel size(or small bottle?idk lol) so i took it to school with me and put it in my locker so i could use it after P.E. OMG i was amazed! the smell was great! everyone loved the smell of it after i sprayed it but what i like most was that it gave my hair so much shine! My hair is NEVER shiny but after i applied this it was so shiny and it even calmed my frizz down! I will keep buying this forever! Its a must have.posted Apr 25, 2010Link to this post
LynnHawaiiHairBlondeFine or Thin HairThe Best Hairspray I Have Found!I have used this product for over a year since my hairdresser hooked me up with it. I love the smell and the hold is amazing on my thin blonde hair. I spray it on after blowdrying, wait a minute for it to set and then style my hair. It gives me more volume and texture when styling without weighing my hair down. After styling, I give it one last spray to hold and I am good for the whole day! My hair looks thicker all day and it smells like I just walked out of my salon! My grown kids come over and use it up faster than I can buy it. So I buy from Folica in bulk. My Salon charges $20.00 a can and I save big time buying from Folica at only $13.99 a can. As a retired hairdresser, this is my "Go To" product. My hair, my kids and my pocketbook Thank you.posted Apr 8, 2010Link to this post

Ross was coming off a one-year, $3 million contract with Boston in which he hit 22 home runs. After talks broke down, Ross ended up signing a three-year, $25 million deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Napoli's deal was later shortened to one year because of health concerns.
Ross, 32, is batting .271 with six home runs in 86 games this year for Arizona


text: Warning: gmp_strval may return a null terminated string (e.g., gmp_strval(gmp_init(8)) has two characters. This is because gmp is built for speed, so uses estimates based on things it can get quickly, like the number of bits in N. So since 8 is a 4 bit number, it will be allocated ceil(log10(2^4))=ceil(4*0.30103....) = 2 characters. The gmp folks feel it is the caller's responsibility (in this case the PHP interface) to check whether or not all the characters were required. PHP might have done this for us (and may in the future), but for now, you need to check (if it matters to you--it sure did in my program!).

iOS 7 is out! Go get it!
That time we've been waiting for since June is finally here - iOS 7 is out in the world. Reports are flooding in that people are able to download the new update. If you've been waiting, fire up Software Update on your phone and do it over the air, or get ready to download the update through iTunes once it's available.
That's assuming we haven't talked you out of it at this point. Just make sure you've backed up your iOS device first. Better safe than sorry! Also make sure you have enough free space: the download measures over 3 GB, installed over the air.
Expect unprecedented demand for the new release - there are more iOS devices in the world than ever, and iOS 7's release has been very well publicized. Don't be surprised if you get errors or see slow download times; just be patient, try again later, and upgrade when you can.
Are you looking forward to iOS 7? Have you been using it during its extensive beta period? Sound off in the comments! And for more information on iOS 7, check out these links:

iOS 7 is out! Go get it!
The Apple Servers are getting too much of load with iOS 7 downloads, so you might get slow speed and error! ,
Here are mirror download links: www.is.gd/ios7final
Backup up first might be a good idea.
That is a LONG screen on the Learn More link.
Needs 3.1 GB free. Had to temporarily delete a game.
Quit taunting me! I am unable to find a wifi network on lunch and the work site doesn't have wifi, this is going to be a long afternoon.....*le sigh* the life of a mobile enthusiast
Sent from the iMore App
It went available a few minutes before 10 EST for me. In my iPhone 4S, it started with 6hrs, now, after a few minutes it says 2hrs remaining. (I'm in Buenos Aires, Argentina). In my iPad 2 it said 14 minutes remaining, but then it failed (I'm sure because I was doing the manual backup to iTunes while downloading the update to iOS 7 thru wifi)
I got software failed a couple of times...but it is in the "Preparing Update" now and the status bar is about 90% done.
I'm on iOS 7 beta 6, will i get an update via iTunes 11.1? or i have to downgrade to iOS 6.1.4.
Someone please clear my confusion.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me WHY my iTunes will not update to 11.1.....Windows 7 (I go to check for updates within iTunes and it says 11.05 is current, yet I need 11.1). Also, can someone PLEASE tell me why (always happens) I cannot download iTunes directly from Apple.com....I click download and it takes me to the Thank you for downloading page, yet NOTHING pops up to save. Help. I need a Mac! ;-)
use safari to download, save the file 1st before installing, same happend with worked with safari.. cheers
I believe you can to the Download ITune and download it from there and install it that way
I tried IE (didn't have Safari but that is actually a good idea so thanks for that!), but I WAS able to download it try after try after try (one restart of windows laptop). It did take a while to download, it just finished, usually its 2 or 3 mins if that, but this was like 8 minutes, but as expected, we just need to be patient with the downloads today....wait it out a bit, don't get frustrated, because everyone and their monkeys are downloading itunes, ios 7 etc. Sooooo pages will take a long time to load, fail, restart, etc. Thanks for the love ya'll. Btw, I got annoyed because I did have issues installing itunes before and not when a big release was out. It would just not save at all. So thats why I went crazy. Haha. Oh and I did it through Firefox anyway. Thanks guys! Enjoy iOS 7. It's really beautiful.
Shows as not out yet on iTunes...shows as available on my phone directly, but cannot download. Poor, crushed servers.
ok more confusion!
1) can iOS 7 beta 6 get an update via iTunes (i know we don't get an OTA update)
2) DO i have to downgrade to iOS 6 to get the update>
"Go get it" says the person that told us to wait ;-D
My phone just cleared the status bar and says that it is installing now. Phone just started a reboot. Good sign.
I would love to, but it hasn't showed up in Software Update or iTunes. Does anybody know where I can get the ipsw?
This is why I don't like doing OTA as everyone is saying it is failing. Why don't they put it in iTunes? much cleaner install. I guess they have to quit signing 6.1.4 first or something. I'm trying OTA on my iPad but waiting for iTunes for my iPhone 5.
Ah, got a facebook notification then the wonderful FAILED message.... Come on Apple!
7.0.1 has been released for iphone 5S and 5C, a few bug fixes for IOS on those devices. So maybe if your thinking you shouldn't upgrade to IOS 7..... yet, it would seam Apple is monitoring how things are going and quickly releasing updates.
take full backup on icloud, restore to ios 6.1.4 n update will pop up for GM users
worked for me iphone 5 - ios7 gm to ios 6.1.4 to ios 7 final
cheers !!!
im running iOS7 Beta 6 and its showing up as my version is up to date. other people in my office that ran iOS6 are getting the update however...this hurts
$140+ billion in the bank, you'd think they could invest in some servers to avoid this annual slamfest!
Wife is downloading OTA on iPhone 5, I am downloading on iPad 4. I'm being the test subject for her iPad 3. Going very smoothly here in the Land of Lincoln. Both have finished downloading and are preparing the update. Here's hoping we didn't make a mistake.:-) Funny I never feel this way way when upgrading my Droid and Nexus 10. Oh well here's to being among the first! Happy upgrade everyone.
Sent from my Warp Drive Nexus 10 on JB 4.3
Its installing (black screen with progress bar at 50%) on my 4S, downloading on my iPad 4 and wife's iPhone 5 here in Texas. Excited!
ok, so people are sending conflicting msgs here? if we have the GM on the ip5 of ios7, is it the same as the update released today, or should we downgrade to 6.1.4 & re-install ios7? is there any benefits to doing so, or are we fine running the GM? Thanks.
New to the forum, I wanted to ask someone in here directly....Are there different update times for different products...I have an iphone4, & I attempted to DL the update, but a message generated after it attempted to DL that said version not available, any ideas?
Thanks in advance, "New kid on the Block."
I'm currently updating mine while I get work done. Hoping it works smoothly in the next room as I'm on a looooong road trip this afternoon/night.
Sidenote: It's funny to read all the comments in succession. It looks like mass hysteria. :)
And here are the download likes from Redmond Pie. Downloaded it that way using wget on a Linux box in under 5 minutes, iPhone 4S still says 3 hours remaining.
Success! Now I just have to change my background, its larger than the screen. Wife's iPhone looks good too. Now we're trying to get the iPad 3 going. Already had one failure. Retrying and hoping it works. From what I have seen looks like most if not all my apps upgraded before the update.

After successfully downloading ios7 on my iPad (4th gen), I was stuck during the verification process. It took over a dozen tries to begin installation. Waiting to see what's behind the black screen and glowing Apple icon!!!!
Sent from the iMore App
iMessage reactivation is not working. I'm on an iPhone 4s and assuming it's because the servers are getting slammed. Anyone else running into this?
I had the issue for the last couple of hours. I got the downloads to finish a while ago, but then couldn't actually do the install. Both my iPad 3 and my mini just started to work at the same time. They are installing now as we speak!
Mine worked great OTA; took about 9 minutes to download, then about 20 to install and reboot. Activation was painless. In my experience Apple did great with this process.
I jumped in at 12:59 EST and downloaded pretty quickly. No issues with the install. One funny thing that I've noticed, though: Rene demonstrated a gesture in Mail and Messages that doesn't seem to work for me. He swiped from left to right which moved "up" a level, i.e. from a message to the list of messages. Is this gesture not enabled on the 4s, or is something I need to turn on somewhere in settings, does anyone know? Thanks!
for All iDevice ...enjoy !!!
If you do the OTA update and after the download it sits at "Verifying Update" then says The Update is Unavailable then just turn wifi off and try it again and it should whizz through. If not then turn wifi off, turn the device off and leave it off for 5mins, turn it back on and then re-enable wifi and start the download again and it should complete properly.
NB. If you have to result to the last method of turning off the device for 5mins then you will have to download the entire update again.
Ok, got my iOS 7 and like it. For now it works and does well. Let's hope it holds up to its expectations. I'm running it on iPad 2 so it's not as pretty as on retina display, but still very nice and smooth. Little flat and something getting used to. I really enjoying the new animations and transitions. Web also much better for bookmarks and surfing. It's interesting how now to kill the app you have to do what HTC One does. Will see... Miss the quick post for Facebook and Twitter though.
since i got off work today.. 6 hours and i dont know how many tries and so much errors.. back and forth with over the air and itunes but i finally got ios 7 on my iphone 5.. so tired from this dont even really have time to play around with it.. tmw is another day
Interesting, it never showed up on OTA (I have 7 Beta 6), so I am downloading manually and performing via iTunes. Note that you need the new version of iTunes in order to install iOS 7 on your device. Also note that AirDrop (where you can share data wirelessly between iDevices) is only supported on iPhone 5 and later. I am not sure about AirDrop on iPads, because iOS 7 goes back to iPad 2.

On the final day before the official start of the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games, the Flame of Hope® arrived in Athens after visiting 146 towns and communities throughout Greece during the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR)®.
Special Olympics Board Members, Global Ambassadors, and International Global Messengers, along with a U.S. Presidential Delegation led by Dr. Jill Biden, gathered atop the Acropolis of Athens to celebrate the completion of the Flame's journey through Greece.
The Torch Run team, comprised of 101 Law Enforcement Officers from around the world, 10 Special Olympics athletes, and other support personnel proudly shared the story of their journey and gathered to honor and thank the Games Organizing Committee Chairman, Joanna Despotopoulou, for her leadership and support of the Games. Despotopoulou was presented with the original Flame of Hope, which was lit June 9th in a ceremony held at the Sacred Sight of Pnyx in Athens. She then entrusted it to the Presidential Guard who will keep it overnight, prior to Opening Ceremony.
Antonio L. Williams, an LETR running team leader and member of the Final Leg Executive Council, described his experience of the Torch Run as "Simply amazing. It was incredible to see people from all walks of life come together with one common goal of building communities, overcoming language barriers, gathering people together, and forming new relationships."
Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Inc. and Special Olympics Board Member Muhtar Kent spoke of Coke's proud role as the founding partner of Special Olympics. During the World Games, Coca-Cola will provide commemorative packaging and retail displays in their top five retailers in Greece, along with an awareness campaign featuring Coke employees and Special Olympics athletes that will be circulated through print, radio, online and television ads. Coke will give a portion of the proceeds from the sale of commemorative packaging to Special Olympics and will also construct a Coca-Cola Happiness House in athlete villages and at the OAKA festival area. In addition, the beverage company will provide over 2 million servings of Coca-Cola products to athletes, families and volunteers during the Games. "We are here to spread dignity, optimism and inclusion all around the world," said Kent.
