The written word

It is always touted that the wheel was a major step forward in western civilization. Where the land is flat and rivers non traversable this may have been the case, but for me the written word is the most important concept that modern man has created. I believe that through the written word, rather than the word of mouth that has helped promote legend and possibly the big "R". Through the written word our knowledge has built up each generation, word upon word. It spawned the Renaissance, which spawned the industrial age, and the electronic age. Now the electronic age has spawned the internet and the internet has spawn limitless publishing of any quality (including the KAK here) and our knowledge spread per person is increasing and widening each second, of each minute of each day. Just take a look at the gigabytes of information that is stored on Gmail, or Blogger or Wordpress to name a few. We have either reached a point where knowledge is so accessible that it is becomi...

Balance

Category: Ponderous When ever you talk to "life coaches" they talk about balance. What is balance, well it is there way of saying spend more time on personal things. That is not balance that is spending more time on personal things. Balance is what people tell you to get, when you are spending too much time trying to ensure that each day when the bills come you do not have a panic attack. So let's say you decide to take some personal time – get more balance in your life. Your read the secret you have the vision you write the goals, you project your positive thinking, and you believe in attaining the goals you have set. The question is what then. Balance implies there is a fulcrum and, and to much of any time on the one side of the fulcrum, is going to tip in other way, surely believing in balance is in itself a limiting belief.

When I was growing up I though the general group female was hard to understand but I cannot fathom the general group of web users, who see to go backwards every week rather than forwards. The thin has been popular for the better part of a generation and still… FRUCK is all I can say

Invalid Syntax when posting Detail Grid

No for the first time did I get "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Incorrect syntax near 'nvarchar'." After pottering around on the internet for a while I looked at my Select query which read: "SELECT ProductID, ItemTypeID, [Stock Code], Item, Available, Display, DeliveryCharged, CODPrice, RRP FROM ProductsTbl WHERE (ItemTypeID = @ItemTypeID) " All I did we replace this [Stock Code] As StockCode And then edited the Boundfield value to be: < asp : BoundField   DataField ="StockCode"   HeaderText ="Stock Code"   SortExpression ="Stock Code" />
