Song of the Week 3,000,001

Hello again folks. I hope you all had a good weekend. I'm still not sure which song I'll pick in 40 seconds, but on a good note, I have this months Performer of the Month picked.
Alright, I'm going with

And I'll probably get another bantersode up today at iTunes. (Actually today, Monday Woohoo)

An Evening on the Fireside with David

An Evening on the Fireside with David 14.

Hello and welcome another exciting issue of the Evening on the Fireside with David. I'll be talking about another http://www.curiousread.com article entitled
Scientists stop the ageing process
The title is slightly misleading (when are titles not?), but I've extremely loosely followed the few things scientists have to do in order to effectively stop aging. This one was a new one for me. Here is an excerpt on what they were working on.

"As people age their cells become less efficient at getting rid of damaged protein resulting in a build-up of toxic material that is especially pronounced in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative disorders."
And a little bit more in depth little thing here.

"If the body's ability to dispose of cell debris within the cell were enhanced across a wider range of tissues, she says, it could extend life as well.
In healthy organisms, a surveillance system inside cells called chaperone-mediated autophagy (..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />CMA) locates, digests and destroys damaged proteins.
Specialised molecules, the "chaperones", ferry the harmful material to membrane-bound sacs of enzymes within the cells known as lysosomes.
Once the cargo has been "docked", a receptor molecule transfers the protein into the sac, where it is rapidly digested.
With age, these receptors stop working as well, resulting in a dangerous build-up of faulty proteins that has been linked, in the liver, to insulin resistance as well as the inability to metabolise sugar, fats or alcohol.
The same breakdown of the cell's cleaning machinery can also impair the liver's ability to remove the toxic build-up of drugs at a stage in life when medication is often part of daily diet."
But at the end, the toss this in.
"It is also possible that the same kind of "cellular clearance" can be achieved through diet, she says.
Research over the past decade has shown that restricted calorie intake in animals, including mammals, significantly enhances longevity.
"My ideal intervention in the future would be a better diet rather than a pill," she says."
So, a very cool little article and a kick-ass breakthrough I suppose. Have a good weekend folks. I'm going to try to get the official episode 1 of my podcast up with content, tentively named The Sect of ZAP: The TUT Origins.

MVW

MVW is coming this Friday. That is all

Finally, an update has come back to blogger

Alright folks. Sorry no updates here, but I've decided to do one update a week here and just hit some of the more important stuff.

Podcasting News
So at the momoent there are 2 bantersode featureing me and Jimmy Jom Jones
1 Promo
and of course the very first Content episode. Folowing are the show notes

While I mentioned that I put up the first official content episode, I didn't provide any real shownotes, so here goes.


Episode one of the Davidian Cast, the very first Sectisode, The Sect of ZAP: TUT Origins is now up and ready for your listening pleasures.


The episode chronicles TUT (TheUnderTaker), a staple character in a webcomic bouncing around in my noggin, and what happened to him when Noah started the zombie apocalypse.


The Origins line of ZAP Vignettes tell the tales of main characters in ZAP (Zombie Attack Patrol). The currently written stories include: "ZAP: The Origins of Veli," and "…The Origins of PY". Those particular titles are more so place holders. The other two stories are "Party for Two" (Kard and Ze'el) and "Genesis 9:1" (Zoë and Noah). Yes, yes, that is Noah as in mentioned above as the one starting this whole mess.


On the banter side of things, we find out that Jimmy Jom Jones has another Sectisode with us, but will then be leaving the podcast for a couple of weeks. But worry not true believers, I'll scrounge up some co-hosts for the show.


Well, that's about it, look though for another bantercast coming up this weekday week, titled "A Deacon a Shaman and an Ayatollah Walk into a Bar and have a Ménage à Trois." Hmm, that's a little long. Oh well, see you guys tomorrow for the Song of the Week.
Oh, and the episode is on my front page in the About me Section of Myspace

Blog Schedule

The hope is that I get a few more folks reading the blog with the podcast coming out, so here is the blog schedule.

Every Monday, I post a new Song of the Week
Wednesday is Poetry Wed-nes-day
Friday gets an Evening on the Fireside with David
Every month I post a Performer of the Month
And occasionally I’ll either Pearls of Wisdom from the Sands of Time where I’ll post a truly sage quote from some of times greatest minds, as well as Saltwater Taffy where I share a line or two of my own knowledge.

The Oncoming Cast

Alright, I am starting a podcast (album artwork is my avatar) and I’m going to try to get an introductory episode up today. If I do I’ll post another blogpost with the info. I am also blogging over at http://www.myspace.com/daviddysart that should be pretty much so the same, but I’ll see how it goes.

Song of the Week

So this week’s Song of the Week will be a couple of days early, sorry folks. So while roses can be found in the jungle, guns are also welcomed.
That’s right folks, the song of the week is

The Davidian Cast

Welcome to the first post of the Davidian Blog which will be forerunner and companion blog of the Davidian Cast podcast.
The Davidian Cast will include my short stories and maybe some poetry until I can get my novel done and get it recorded.
I will also keep this up to date with my Myspace blogging.
Well, that's all for now.
