Ô PAON [Musician]

I had a chance to watch her perform at What the Heck fest 2009 and she was definitely one of the best. This video doesn't even do her performance justice because it doesn't show the lead tp to the song. I only chose it because of it's high quality audio.

Steven Gene Wold, commonly known as Seasick Steve, (born 1941[1][2][3]) is an American bluesman, although he prefers to be called "a song and dance man". He plays guitars (mostly personalized), and sings, usually about his early life living rough and doing casual work.

In the sixties he started touring and performing with fellow blues musicians, and had friends in the music scene including Janis Joplin [6] and Joni Mitchell.[7] Since then, he has worked, on and off, as a session musician and studio engineer. In the late 1980s, while living in Olympia, near Seattle, he worked with many indie label artists.[7] Kurt Cobain was a friend.[10] In the 1990s he continued to work as a recording engineer and producer, including producing several releases by Modest Mouse.[11] including their 1996 debut album This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About.

How to live longer [Video]

London, England (CNN) -- CNN.com today featured a live Webcast of The Clinic, looking at how science is making progress in the quest for immortality.

CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta and world-renowned anti-aging experts discussed practical steps for living longer, and cutting-edge research that could dramatically extend human lives.

Best-selling author Dan Buettner has carried out extensive studies to identify longevity hotspots around the world, documented in his book "The Blue Zones."

He said his research had identified Costa Rica, Sardinia, in Italy, and Ikaria, in Greece, as places where people live longer. What the residents of these places had in common were diets low in meat, and lifestyles that nudged them towards exercise.

Geneticist Aubrey de Grey is the Chief Scientific Officer of SENS Foundation, which researches and promotes regenerative medicine. He said that techniques such as stem cell therapy, gene therapy and tissue engineering could one day be used in combination to let humans live for hundreds of years.

Gingko Biloba and other ‘Natural’ Remedies May Be Dangerous

discovery.com, Thu Jan 28 - Last month, a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that the herbal supplement Ginkgo biloba does not appear to help memory or slow the rate of cognitive decline in healthy older people.

On Yale neurologist Steven Novella’s “Science-Based Medicine” Web site he explained, “The study was a direct comparison of Gingko biloba at 120 mg twice a day versus placebo—a double blind, randomized, multi-center trial involving 3,019 subjects aged seventy-two to ninety-six, followed for a median of 6.1 years. Subjects were followed with standardized tests of cognitive function. The results are easy to report: every measure showed no difference between Gingko biloba and placebo. There was no difference in cognitive function, risk of developing dementia, rate of progression of dementia, or normal cognitive decline with aging.”

What You Eat After Exercise Matters

ScienceDaily (Jan. 29, 2010) — Many of the health benefits of aerobic exercise are due to the most recent exercise session (rather than weeks, months and even years of exercise training), and the nature of these benefits can be greatly affected by the food we eat afterwards, according to a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
