Day 54

A cut from a cd of another one of my favorite artists...Joss Stone...my youngest son told me about her and I'm glad he did....was watching American Idol the other night...and there she was doing a duet with the great Smokey Robinson....awesome

Joss Stone...Less is More

Speaking of my young son...well not quite so young anymore...he is a very talented videographer, on air personality, as well as a film editor. He works for Shaw Cable here in Winnipeg and has his own show called "Signal to Noise on their local channel" He edits and does camera work for a lot of their productions. He has done four music videos which have all appeared on Much Music, all of which he did with zero budget and had to beg and borrow equipment and locations. Here is a sample, and he edited it so that it looks like it was taken off a satellite pirate station...in reality it was made right here in Winnipeg with a local Indie Group called ABO. He did all the filming, directing, and editing to produce the final result. Very proud of him!!! He is a great guy!




An interesting article about drinking your tea too hot....

IS there anything left in life that isn't linked to cancer?

Not hot tea apparently. A group of scientists has connected it with esophageal cancer. The problem doesn't appear to be the tea itself, but the temperature at which it is consumed, their study found.

Residents of Golestan province in Iran have one of the highest rates of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the world. They don't drink alcohol or smoke but they do consume tea. Lots of it. Nearly 1.2 litres per day, on average.

Researchers recruited 300 esophageal cancer patients in Golestan and matched them up with 571 healthy controls who shared their age, gender and place of residence. "Impatient tea drinkers who waited less than two minutes were 5.4 times as likely to be diagnosed with esophageal cancer, the study found.
