Not a Flash game
Just doing some playing around with flash and am working my way through the solid tutorial by Emanuele Feronato. Why am I doing this? Just some skill development. Moved the flash apps to my dedicated flash page.

Canada – Health Care
Is Free Medicine, Good Medicine? Until this last week I would have strongly defended the benefits of the Canadian Health Care system (versus the horror stories I hear about what occurs south of the border). I think, that’s because, I seldom have to use it. Before I go further, this will not a criticism of the men and women who are working their asses off — the doctors, nurses, and support staff.

Another web search got me the answer here: http://forums.subsonicproject.com/Search?q=+sp.SchemaName+%3D+rdr%5B%22SPSchema%22%5D.ToString%28%29%3B Basically remove sp.SchemaName = rdr[“SPSchema”].ToString(); from DataService, approximately line 420. There are more elegant solutions available, but this got me through the initial hurdle.
