Bad News
First 1/3 is pretty good, then it drifts and sputters to a close.
One Minute To Midnight
A lot of detail. Some interesting new info on the FROG cruise missiles.
One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War
The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped
To delete the user go to Sql Server Management Studio, expand your database -> Security and select Schemas. In the Object Explorer Details (if not visible go to the View Menu select Object Explorer Details) you can see a list of the schemas and the owners.
Now locate the schema(s) of the user you want to delete, right click and select properties. In General you can see the schema owner, change it to the new owner (dbo for example).
When the user you want to delete has no schemas, you can delete it.
Phantom Prey
One of Sandford’s weaker efforts.
Nobody Runs Forever
Unique voice and story that keeps moving.
The Fall of Fortresses
Some interesting experiences, such as finding cannon shells in the wing gas tanks that failed to explode and contained a note inside saying “This is all we can do for you now.”
Dead Watch
Starts off strong, but fizzles out.
Saving changes is not permitted – Sql Server 2005
When adding an identity column to a table, I would sometimes get the following error:
“Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can’t be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created.”
In order to prevent this warning from occurring, Go to Tools > Options > Designers > Table and Database Designers > Uncheck the checkbox ‘Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created check box’
Where Light and Shadow Meet
Superficial and unenlightening. Can read it in about an hour or two.
The Tin Roof Blowdown
I was very surprised not to like this book. Burke is one of my favorite authors, so I hope he is not running out of gas. Nothing much new in the story lines and switching from first person to omniscient narrator interrupts the flow. It seems to be a mandate in detective fiction that, as the series ages, the protagonist’s home life becomes the central story, rather than the detecting. McBain kept it to a minimum, Parker wallows in it and Mosley actually makes it interesting. I hope Burke comes back with something stronger.
The Pages in Between
A different look from a Holocaust survivor’s daughter who tries to reconstruct the past.

“Page cannot be found” when browsing aspx in IIS 6
In Windows 2003, all webservice extensions are “Prohibited” by default.
You need to enable ASP .net extensions to resolve the issue:
1. Open up IIS manager or, from your Run command, type inetmgr and press enter.
2. Expand the appropriate nodes in the IIS to locate the “Webservice Extensions” Node
3. Click on the same.
4. You will find a list of “prohibited” extensions in the right.
5. Click on ASP.NET and “allow” it
The Prince of Frogtown
Author doesn’t pull punches, but his voice smooths out some of the pain. Last couple of chapters are pretty tough.
Ike – An American Hero
Underwhelming – not much info on the development of the interstate highway system. Not much new on the WWII years. Some interesting info on Panama and time with MacArthur.
Crusader’s Cross
Pretty good overall. Unravels a bit at the end and needs an Epilogue to drop stitch everything together.

James Lee Burke
But if you have ever been seriously ill or have received life threatening injuries in war, you know what I am about to say is true. People may be kind to you, but they also fear you because you remind them of their own mortality. The insularity the seem to create around themselves is not in your imagination. We have an atavistic sense about death, and we can smell it on others as surely as a carion bird can
Crusader’s Cross
Downtown
I haven’t read many McBain outside the 87th series, Definitely a different take. This one is a bit odd and loose.
The task “Script Task” cannot run on this edition of Integration Services.
I was automating SSIS packages through .Net and would get this error when trying to run some packages when shelling out to dtexec.
The task “Script Task” cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition.
It turns out that you need to have SSIS installed on the machine where you are running the app, as dtexec is not a client tool, like dts was.
