Complete video at: fora.tv Photographer Rachel Sussman presents an image of what is most likely the oldest living thing on planet Earth: a specimen of actinobacteria, found in Siberian permafrost. The bacteria are about 500000 years old, and in danger of extinction due to climate change. ----- While we may aspire to live a century, Rachel Sussman documents creatures who don't bat an eye at a millennium or two. Her photography has captured 4500 year old bristlecone pines, 12000 year old yucca, 400000 year old Siberian bacteria, and many other wizened elders, all with stories longer than all of recorded human history. - The Long Now Foundation Rachel Sussman, b. 1975, grew up in Baltimore, punctuated by stints in Santa Fe and Nicoya, Costa Rica.

I'm researching, working with biologists, and traveling all over the world to find and photograph continuously living organisms that are 2000 years old and older.

The Grand 2700 year old Ankerwycke Yew is next to the River Thames near Staines. The famous Magna Carta is thought to have been sign next to this tree. So its not just an old tree it marks the beginning of modern democracy.

Chris Laguna from Harmony Guitars is back with the company's sole Bass in from their Vintage series, the Harmony H22. This hollowbody bass's design is from an age when the electric bass wasn't actually supposed to be heard; Harmony knew they were going to have to improve some of the specs before it was played through the bass amps of today, so they gave the thing upgraded tuners. Otherwise, this axe is all-vintage spec, with a single, gold-foil pickup that goes great with flatwounds. To preserve its yesteryear-tone, Chris thumped the H22 through a Vox AC15. Yeah, that's why he's playing though a guitar amp . . . See more on Gearwire.com.
The country's oldest living kidney donor, 83-year-old Nicholas Crace, says he couldn't have lived with himself if he'd turned down the chance to change someone else's life.
Being from Queens automatically qualifies you as a member of the elite. The tallest tree in the New York metropolitan area, called the Queens Giant, is also the oldest living thing in the New York metro area. It is located in northeastern Queens, and is 450 years old and 132 feet (40 m) tall as of 2005. The borough is often considered one of the more suburban boroughs (in comparison to Manhattan standards) of New York City. Queens is the largest in area, the second-largest in population.
This song was posted before and had 515 views as of March 19th, 2010. I removed it and uploaded it once more in a better format to improve the quality of the video. The song was brought to my attention by my step-dad (Wayne) and I'd like to dedicate this slide show to him. I have been welcomed into their Colorado home for many years where I have had unlimited freedom in exploring the grandeur of the San Juan mountains of Colorado in and around Lake City. While I've not heard Salestrom sing in person, it's my understanding that he still performs in various parts of Colorado like the Broadmoor Hotel/resort in Colorado Springs. I like Salestrom's version the best of those I've heard online.

Perhaps the worlds largest (or at least broadest) tree in the world. Some say its the largest living thing in general. Estimated to be over 2000 years old, this cypress tree lives in the town of Santa Maria del Tule near Oaxaca de Juarez in Mexico. It looks pretty healthy.
