The first sentence of the second last paragraph of a CBC report about a medical study, quoting the author:

"The upshot of this research is that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach," said Baldwin.

Doctor knows best: take-charge patients have poorer outcomes
Patients who choose to be highly involved in their medical treatment actually fare less well with chronic health problems than patients who defer to their doctors, finds a new study.

It's always nice when code you haven't change for weeks suddenly decides to stop working. Ugh.

Also, further to this bitch about operating systems, even better than sneaking updates on you at shutdown is waiting to configure those updates until you startup again.

How long did they spend designing Vista, anyway?

Damn! I was just remembering that conversation about Glencross we were having this weekend.

In terms of making the playoffs, ok they do have a 1.2% chance of making the playoffs, but at least they have a chance of making the playoffs, and from the team's history, that might be all that they need.

I continue to be amazed at the frequency with which Curtis Glencross's name appears on the scoresheet from Oilers games. Admittedly, I haven't taken to watching them in their entirety in a while. Anyone want to shed some light on this interesting development? I wonder if he doesn't get traded this week. (Or perhaps open up some other pending free agent to be traded.)

Also, for those who still hold out hope (looking at you, Gauthier), from a post on BoA, here's a site that calculates your team's odds of making the playoffs: SportsClubStats.com.

The Oilers are at a sure-bet 1.2% right now. According to these calculations, they need to go 14-5-1 over the last 20 games to even have a 0.5% chance of making the playoffs.

Well don't really want to post up the nostalgia song I usually post when talking about but the past, but you know what it is.

Anyways, time really doesn't wait for anyone, it is a scary though that we've been graduated for 8 years already. Heck my brother is going to his 10 year reunion this year. Wether we do something or nothing at all time keeps marching on. So live life, that's about good of advice I can give you.

I just had one of those perspective-inducing moments.

I went for a walk in my neighbourhood and not only did I find a prime saskatoon picking spot for next summer (there were dried berries on the bushes, apparently people aren't taking advantage!), but I think I walked past the guy I had the HUGEST crush on in high school... and I really didn't recognise him. I recognised his mom... which led me to think that it probably WAS him, with the same nice curly dark brown hair, and new glasses... But anyway, it got me to thinking - here's the perspective part - it's been TEN YEARS since I lusted over him in highschool... ten years since I developed that paralysing crush... thankfully I'm not paralysed any more, but holy crap... and then that I didn't recognise him.... it made me laugh.

TEN YEARS!


and here's the real kicker, we've been out of highschool for nearly 8 years now. whoa.

Time to hit you with a double helping of Street fighter later years!

Okay throwing out the NSFW warning!
