From a story on CBC.ca about heart screening targetting South Asians,

It was prompted by research showing that people whose families are originally from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka often don't get symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain while exercising.

That increases the chance that their disease will go untreated, said Dr. Terry Ruddy, chief of cardiology at the institute.

"If you're asymptomatic, you lack a warning system, so that actually creates more risk," he said.

"The first symptom can be sudden death, which is very undesirable."

Thanks for the heads up, Jsese; I'll be sure to keep that in mind about my leather gloves.

Seriously, though, it's good to hear you're, uh, oh well (albeit a little damp.) Some might point out that you post more often when you're not in town, but I'll just take the news when I can get it (as well as an endorsement of my brilliant interface-writing skills.)

Holy crap working in the rain sucks ass when you left all your rain gear in the hotel room. weak sauce on my part. If anyone was wondering leather gloves hold alot of water in them. Oh well, they are moving me to a better hotel room for a week, cause some large group wants the entire section ( the swiss villiage). oh well I say again.
