When Can Thermage Be Done to Tighten Loose Neck Skin Remaining After SMAS Neck and Face Lift?
Thermage After SMAS Neck Lift / Face Lift
Doctor Answers 6
Thermage for addditional skin tightening after facelift
Minimally invasive modalities including thermage or other radiofrequency treatments do give some additional tightening, and if your expectations are not too high, they may help.
Fractional laser, IPL and skin tightening lasers (or all three procedures combined) also help.
Chemical peels can also help.
We have offered all these treatments to out patients, with the caveat that they are minimally invasive and generally give minimal results.

Loose neck skin after a lift might be improved with Ulthera and Thermage
Avoid a chemical peel to tighten neck skin. Chemical peels, unless deep peels, don't tighten much and there is a greater risk of scarring the neck skin than facial skin. Similarly avoid dermabrasion and CO2 (carbon dioxide)laser resurfacing for the neck. Fractional CO2 has less risk of scarring the neck than non-fractional CO2 but there is a risk of scarring. Thermage and Ulthera are non-invasive techniques that do not have to damage the epidermis of the skin to penetrate and effect a change in the dermis. These energies help produce more collagen. The newer Ulthera is a deep ultrasound energy, reaching deeper levels than Thermage, and it has been shown to tighten the SMAS without surgery. The result is never the same excellent tightening that a facelift or necklift can provide but in some cases, not all, it can be substantial.

How long after Face Lift can I have Thermage
The standard time frame for any type of skin resurfacing, or in this case RF therapy using Thermage, after a Face Lift is 6 months. If you had an exstensive traditional Face and Neck Lift, You might consdier a year to be on the safe side. The reason to wait, after the Face Lift, is to allow adequate time for the disrupted blood supply, caused by the incisions and tissue dissection, of the face and Neck lift, to re-establish before another skin injury is created with resurfacing or Thermage. Better to wait a little longer and have no issues with healing, IMHO.

Thermage after Neck Lift
Thermage could be done as early as 3 months after a necklift.
But the CAN is much less important than the WHY question. If the necklift result is disappointing after one year or less, Thermage will most likely not fix this.
Thermage after facelift.
This can be done 6-12 months after, but the results are likely to be disappointing. A peel may give you more of what you are looking for.
Thermage or Skin Treatment after Face Lift
After a facelift or neck lift, most plastic surgeons will prefer you wait at least 6 months prior to having Thermage, laser treatments, fractional laser, or other similar cosmetic procedures. Each patient is unique and you should consult with your face lift surgeon. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can he/she help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

This is because high temperature can lead to engine malfunction. And, when the engine becomes faulty, it will greatly affect the overall performance of your vehicle. Isn't it irritating to drive a poorly running car?
How can that be avoided? The cooling system of your vehicle is accountable for that. This system within your vehicle largely helps to uphold the right and controllable temperature of the engine. Various parts consists the cooling system such as the fan clutch and the fan blade. By now, there are different brands that came out in the market for such products.

Northeast News
May 3, 2014
KANSAS CITY, Missouri – The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety wants to remind motorists and motorcyclists alike to "Watch for Motorcycles" as May is Motorcycle Awareness Month in order to help prevent motorcycle crashes, deaths and injuries on Missouri's roadways.
Often, drivers of cars and trucks don't see motorcycles until the last second, or sometimes at all. Motorcycle operators have to anticipate the moves of other drivers and be extra cautious of road conditions and debris. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has offered the following tips to drivers on how to prevent an accident with a motorcycle:
- Although a motorcycle is a small vehicle, the operator still has the same rights of the road as any other motorist. Allow the motorcycle the full width of a lane at all times.
- Always signal when changing lanes or merging with traffic.
- Check all mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes or merging with traffic, especially at intersections.
- Never drive distracted or impaired.
Motorcycle experts recommend motorcyclists also complete some type of training before getting out on the road. There are 29 training locations in Missouri. You can find the one nearest you at www.mmsp.org.

Egg Incubator I wish to build a simple 12 volt circuit for a small incubator
Look at these, especially the first one.
If not one of these then google "diy variable power supply".
I built an incubator for 3 eggs in a small wooden box and a 25 watt bulb. I propped the lid open differing amounts until I got the temp right and about 30 days later I had 3 chicks.
I guess you could do the same with several 12 volt light bulbs and a variable power supply.

AM Rule Refresher: Location
Best Locations & Positions To Have Sex Outside The Bedroom
If you're looking to have sex somewhere different or new, you have an almost infinite number of options. Most of those options, however, are reasonably unappealing or dangerous, so it is vital to sift out the dodgy spots and choose a hot spot. This may be inside your home, in someone else's home, in a vehicle of some description, a public building, or outdoors. You are only limited by your imagination, your willingness to try something new and your physical flexibility.
Best places to have sexThere are a few "best" locations to have sex that have been tried and tested by billions of people over many centuries. True, cars weren't invented for most of those centuries (nor hot tubs or waterbeds), but luckily we have some of these things at our disposal.
The back seat of a car: Uncomfortable? Usually. Exciting? Almost always. Start off in the front seat with some smooth moves, and work your way back once the heat has become unbearable — that way neither of you will care so much about the bumps and bruises you'll end up with.
Hot tubs: Now, it's true that most people don't actually own a hot tub, but nevertheless, it is a fantastic location to get it on due to the larger space, the hot bubbles and the skimpy outfits.
Water beds: Water beds are an underrated source of pleasure, and despite their bad reputation for the vertebrae, the water bed creates an extension of your two bodies' rocking motion — and accentuates it. Even hotter is removing the water bed cover and slathering yourselves in oil.
Saunas: These may cause you both to overheat and faint, but they have bench seats, heat and nudity all in their favor. Remember your water bottle, and it's probably best to make it quick so as not to crack your skull.
Best positions to have sex in a carThere is a method to this madness, so save yourself some clumsiness and get these car positions right the first time.
Doggy dash: You sit in the passenger seat, and your girl sits back on you — facing forward — with her hands balancing her on the dashboard.
Backseat mission: This requires your lover to lie back on the back seat with her legs in the air. You enter her, almost like the missionary position, but with her legs over your shoulders.
Lighthouse: If you have a sunroof, utilize this feature by sitting on the top edge of the passenger seat and have your lover get up close and personal with your gear in her mouth. She has all the room she needs, and you are comfortable getting some fresh air.
Hoodlicker: Or, if you want to bury your face in her sweet spot, sit her on the hood of your car with her feet on the edge, leaning back, resting on her hands. Again, you both have plenty of room to move and are not getting knocked around.

"For over three years the Obama Administration has been playing politics with our nation's offshore energy future, sending energy jobs overseas and deepening America's dependence on unfriendly foreign countries for energy," said Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04). "In stark contrast to President Obama's plan that outsources American jobs and American energy, the bipartisan plan that passed today, is an environmentally responsible drill-smart plan that will create jobs, grow our economy, and lower gasoline prices with more American energy."
The Obama Administrator announced its proposed 2012-2017 offshore lease plan on June 28th. According to federal law, it's now undergoing a mandatory 60-day Congressional review. As part of that review, the Committee acted today to make clear that the President's plan is inacceptable and that it should be replaced with the environmentally responsible plan of H.R. 6082 that truly supports increased American energy and American jobs.
As amended, H.R. 6082 will implement a new schedule for 29 lease sales, protect national defense and military operations and provide for separate environmental reviews for each specific lease sale.
H.R. 6082's Proposed Lease Sale Schedule:
Offshore Areas Open for Drilling under H.R. 6082, the Congressional Replacement of President Obama's Energy-Restricting and Job-Limiting Offshore Drilling Plan
Offshore Areas Blocked for Drilling under President Obama's
Final 2012-2017 Plan
Offshore Areas Available for Drilling when President Obama
Took Office (January 2009)

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 22, 2011
New features have been added to Kansas' online hunter safety course that will provide students with a high-quality educational experience that is easy and fun. One feature that remains the same is students can study for free at http://www.hunter-ed.com/Kansas, paying only when they pass their hunter certification exam.
The new version of hunter-ed.com/Kansas offers an optional narration feature that allows students to listen, read or both. Exam questions also are read out loud and include illustrations to help students recall what they've learned.
In addition, Kansas' online hunter safety course is designed to engage students with a combination of short text blocks and detailed illustrations and animations. Using this mix of teaching methods helps students quickly grasp course concepts, rather than get bogged down reading long pages of text. Plus, they can study the material at hunter-ed.com/Kansas at their convenience.
Students who must receive their hunter education certification to obtain a hunting license pay a one-time fee of $24.50, which is due only if they pass the test. Students can take the test as many times as they need to pass it. To complete all hunter education requirements for Kansas, students must pass the online course and complete the Kansas hunter field day. Before beginning the online course, students must preregister for a field day. (http://www.hunter-ed.com/Kansas/field_day.html)
State law requires anyone born on or after July 1, 1957, to complete a hunter education course before obtaining a hunting license in Kansas. Students who take the course at hunter-ed.com learn the same material that is presented in the classroom course, including hunter responsibility, ethics, fair chase, history of firearms, firearms basics, ammunition, basic gun safety, field safety, bowhunting, conservation and wildlife management, wildlife of Kansas, outdoor emergencies, Kansas hunting regulations and boating safety for hunters.
Hunter-ed.com has been reviewed and approved by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism. To take this course, visit http://www.hunter-ed.com/Kansas.

A careful study of Chinese culture should precede all business forays into China.
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 18 March 2014
The AlixPartners Annual Global Anti-Corruption Corruption Survey 2013, conducted by international business advisers AlixPartners and released on 12 February 2014, interviewed lawyers and executives of multinationals involved in compliance and found 25 per cent avoided China and the Middle East for fear of corruption, while 39 per cent avoided Africa.
David Clive Price takes issue with some of the more simplistic conclusions that companies may draw from this survey about China. He points out that corruption exists in all societies, not least in the financial markets of the West, and that the same report revealed that 54 per cent of executives considered corruption to be unavoidable in several countries in Southeast Asia. In addition, 30 per cent of those surveyed said that their industries were exposed globally to significant levels of corruption.
'This is not to underestimate the problem,' says Price. 'However, Western businesses should also be aware that ethical problems in doing business in China or perceptions of such are often traceable to misunderstandings and lack of cultural awareness. A careful study of Chinese culture should precede all business forays into China.'
'Nowadays there are numerous legal and risk assessment specialists with offices in China that provide business intelligence, background checks and risk assessment consultancy,' says Price. 'However, no amount of due diligence will protect a foreign investor from a collapse in business relations. It is vital that any market entry with Chinese partners at home and abroad is based on trust.'
'The good news is that the Chinese government is making strenuous efforts to tackle corruption and that Western governance standards are being gradually assimilated.'
With 25 years' experience of Asia business, David Clive Price helps Western companies, SMEs and entrepreneurs to launch and expand in Asian markets. His International Business Passport consulting packages and bestselling Master Key Series offer proven strategies for building profitable partnerships and gaining competitive advantage.

text: I think channels it the right word to use. To give an idea of the issue, on "Eleanor Rigby", the singing in the verses is very quiet, and in "Positively 4th street", the organ is barely audible. This is only in a few songs though, and it's only when I listen with headphones (haven't tested yet if different headphones will work properly). The sound is normal when listening to the phone speakers. I've only had the phone a few days. Is this a common issue? What might be the problem? The headphone jack? The headphones? A software glitch? Incompatibility with the sound files for some reason?

Skateboarders See a (Kick)Flip Side to the Government Closing
WASHINGTONOn Wednesday, the day after government workers vacated federal buildings in downtown here, professional skateboarder Darren Harper got on Facebook and broadcast a message to his crew: "One positive thing about the gov't shutdownspots at gov't buildings are now skateable!"
Where most people see ornate, neo-Classical federal buildings and sweeping stone plazas in this city, skaters see something else: opportunity, in the form of sturdy railings, low stone benches, rampsideal "obstacles" for skateboarding stunts. And now, after years of ducking the national park police that patrol these plazas, this week's closure of public buildings and easing of surveillance offered skaters hope of revisiting their favorite spots. It was, said one, "on."
It's not that the skaters aren't sensitive to the capital's pain. Some work for the government, or their families do. But after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, a security crackdown pushed skaters out of the Capitol area and eventually into a skate park created for them outside the federal district. And for decades, a federal ordinance has barred the sport on national park property, including trails.
"D.C. has some of the best spots architecturally for skating but also the tightest security," says Jonathan Mehring , a freelance photographer who lived and skated in the district in the early 2000s. "It's like torture for a skateboarder to be there."

From double buns (think Gwen Stefani and Björk in the '90s) to girlie pigtails, Kendall Jenner, Lupita Nyong'o and Foxes all rocked hair twosies over the weekend, proving that doing a double on your head can work just as well for dressed-up days as it can for downtime. In LA, Kendall (left) went for a classic messy double bun for Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour at the Staples Center, while Lupita (center) teased her short hair into a chic center-parted style to collect the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress at the NAACP awards. Back in London, Foxes (right) maxed out her locks by crimping and backcombing hers into to enormous bunches, ready for a performance at club G.A.Y. See? This hair twosies thing is one party that everyone's invited to.

Jury finds man guilty in Brownsville kidnapping, murder
Thu, 15 Aug 2013 16:25:55 GMT —
A Cameron County jury has found a man guilty in a drug-related kidnapping and murder in Brownsville.
Abraham Parra has been on trial for aggravated kidnapping and capital murder before Judge Arturo Cisneros in the 138th State District Court.
Parra is accused of one of nine suspectsin the July 2012 kidnapping Reyes Bocanegra from the Mariscos Playa Azul restaurant in Brownsville.
Bocanegra was found shot to death in Rancho Viejo a short time later.
Both prosecutors and defense attorneys made their closing arguments in Parra's trial on Wednesday afternoon.
Jurors started deliberations late Wednesday afternoon and returned to court on Thursday morning reaching a verdict just before 11 a.m.
Parra opted for jurors to sentence him. He faces five to 99 years in prison.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†

So with 8 new inq and a 663 score which is probably lower now with the in q I have been approved for a children's place store card, capital one cash rewards and believe it or not my first American express. I wanted the zync but was denied but I did get the starwood guest card. The only other card I have is a jcpenny card which has 80/1500. The card will be PIF the end of the month. The limits are not all that great as i have student loans and a few lates from 2 years ago. They range from 800 to 1500. Anyway i want to buy a house in about 2 years once my student debt gets down a little so I want to show that I can manage my credit correctly. So is it my understanding that when I use a card and pay all but like 10 % before the statement date then PIF before the due date? Am I understanding that correctly? How can I tell the difference between statement and due date? Thanks in advance for your help
I'm surprised you were able to get a Starwood but not the Zync, many consider the Starwood to be Amex's best card. Your Amex limit can grow quickly, use the card heavily and pay-in-full every month to help. And yes, if you pay all accounts except one to a 0 balance and let one report a balance of less than 10%, you will raise your FICO a few points. However, past utilization has no impact on FICO scores, so there's no real need to do this unless you are applying for credit in the next month or so.
The statement date is the date the statement is generated, the payment due date is the date that is printed on the statement telling you to pay by. If your statement is generated every 10th of the month, your payment date will probably be sometime between the 1st through 6th of the next month. The absolute important thing is to make sure to pay the statment balance by the statement due date. If you want the account to report a 0 balance, make sure that the account has no balance when the statement is generated.

hey guys! Thanks for the input. I am as surprised as you guys are. I was told zync was easier to get and that is why i applied for it first. Last time i get denied fora BOA my EX score was 716 they told me in the letter and that was about 2 months ago (im not sure what it was when i applied for the zync) but since since then i have paid off 2 student loans and that is the only thing that has changed. Im sorry i cannot be any more help

Your due date will be sometime between 21-25 days after your statement closing date. It depends (it will say on your papers somewhere "Grace period - X amount of days") and your due date is that many days after your statement closing.
Not quite correct. Your due date is always the same date each month (by law). The statement date can vary each month, but is is usally about 25 days before it. If you want to know your statement date for the next month, it may be listed online, sometime not.

I meant the grace period varied by lender, not every month, sorry if that was misunderstood! haha
Your statement date needs to be AT LEAST 21 days before your due date, however, some lenders go up to 25 days, it all depends

IBM Tries Its Hand at Concentrated Solar With 5,000x Collector
Jason Mick
April 22, 2013 10:42 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Your scouter isn't reading wrong -- that's one powerful parabolic dish
To celebrate
Earth Day
, one of the tech industry's oldest and most savvy firms -- International Business Machines, Inc. (
) -- announced a joint project with top Swiss research university
Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich
(ETH Zürich) and
Airlight Energy Holdings
SA, a Swiss-based solar firm, to develop a better parabolic dish for
concentrated solar power
I. Trio Aims For Super-Cheap Dish Solar Power
Fueled by a $2.4M USD grant from the
Swiss Commission for Technology
, the trio is chasing lofty goals -- 80 percent conversion efficiency and the ability to concentrate sunlight to intensities up to 2,000 times the natural levels.
The major upside to this kind of solar power --
High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal (HCPVT)
– is that it cuts down on the surface space of the photovoltaics (and hence the amount of pricey rare earth elements needed). Stumbling blocks include the inherent complexity of designing the concentrating mechanics and the
maintenance concerns
The prototype device is a multi-facet
parabolic dish
, whose mirrors track the sun. The mirrors beam the concentrated sunlight onto multiple microchannel-cooled 1 centimeter x 1 centimeter chips, each of which can produce between 200 and 250 watts on a sunny day. 100+ of the chips are combined to produce around 25 kilowatts of power per dish.
Professor Aldo Steinfeld
of ETH Zürich is using advanced ray tracing simulations to craft the control algorithms to precisely precision the mirrors for maximum harvest.
IBM is aiming for costs under 10 cents per kilowatt-hour with its news dish system.

But the microchannels are where the greatest "magic" happens. Versus the passive air cooling of some previous concentrating solar systems, the microfluidic system is just tens of micrometers away from the chips, allowing them to stay virtually unheated at 2,000 times sunlight, according to the project team. The system can concentrate up to 5,000 time sunlight without melting.
II. Microfluidics Research is Paying Off for IBM
This is the second major project where IBM and ETH Zürich are teaming up to use the new microfluidic system, which was originally designed at the
Egypt Nanotechnology Research Center
. The pair is also working to build a supercomputer -- dubbed
-- based on the new cooling tech.
The super-concentrated solar power is enabled by IBM's microfluidic channel technology.
[Image Source: IBM]
The researchers hope to deploy the system at a cost of under $250 USD per square meter, and at a cost-per-kilowatt-hour of <$0.10 USD/kWh. That would be pretty incredible, given that coal power is currently $0.05-0.10 USD/kWh in many regions.
A key to cutting the cost is that only the chips/controllers/and motors are manufactured offsite. Airlight CTO Andrea Pedretti describes, "The design of the system is elegantly simple. We replace expensive steel and glass with low cost concrete and simple pressurized metalized foils."
III. Clean Drinking Water to Boot
Better yet, the team hopes to use the cooling system to
provide fresh drinking water
. The water heats to 90ºC in the microfluidics, vaporizing. It then passes through a series of porous membranes that block salt, leaving only fresh water.
Generating drinking water would reduce the capacity of the system, but researchers estimate the system could produce 30-40 liters of drinkable water per meter, per day, while still producing 2 kWh of power per day per meter (roughly a 25 percent efficiency). Thus roughly two meters of dishes could produce enough water daily to sustain one person.
A 2 sq. meter system produces enough clean drinking water a day for one person to live on.

The thermal system also can be hooked up to an absorption chiller, which replaces energy-intensive compression chillers (which often use ozone-depleting fluids). The chiller uses silica gel to achieve a unique cooling thermal cycle.
The combination of cleaning drinking water, cooling, and power production -- three crucial needs of desert regions -- make this solar system a seemingly promising one. With prototypes currently under testing in Switzerland, the team hopes to soon see it deployed to regions like the southern Europe, Africa, Arabic peninsula, the southwestern part of the United States, South America, and Australia. The team also expects its lightweight, cost-effective nature will make it a promising solution for tropical island tourist destinations.

Dorrans determined to prove fitness
West Brom midfielder Graham Dorrans is keen to prove his fitness after a season blighted by injury and loss of form.
Dorrans, 24, was one of the team's stars as he fired Albion to promotion in 2010, but his debut campaign in the top flight was a poor one and he is now determined to get himself back in contention for the start of the new season.
He told the club website: "I aim to get as fit as possible and hopefully impress the gaffer from the first day of training. I want to push on and show that I can establish myself in the Premier League.
"I knew I was going to have to come in and do an extra few weeks' work. It's part and parcel of what I've got to do. My ankle is feeling good now, and fingers crossed things keep going well as I do more rehab over the summer so that I can get back in with the other lads."

The theme for today is arrivals. The following is an excerpt from my latest release Soldier of Fortune that shows the arrival of Joanna Mac McGregor for her new job.
Soldier of Fortune by Shelley Munro
The charter flight from Jordan to Iraq was a short hop but plenty long enough for Joanna Mac McGregor to second-guess her decision to take up a contract in the security sector with Chesterton UK. The wheels of the plane hit the runway, a solid thump before the pilot applied the brakes.
Tension seeped into hands holding a fantasy paperback, turning her knuckles white. It wasnt just her. Even the guys at the back of the planethe ones who had bantered their way through the entire journey and tried to tempt her into joining the Mile High Clubfell silent. Mac stared out the window. Shed seen the stark reality of Baghdad firsthand when the plane circled the runway to landthe endless sand giving way to the greener city.
Checkpoints. Security forces. Burned-out vehicles, buildings damaged by both allies and insurgents bombs.
Too late to change her mind and return to New Zealand now.
Shed gone through the lengthy interview process, answered all the questions about why a woman would want to undertake such a dangerous assignment and finally signed on the dotted line. After all, not much call for her skill set in an office and she couldnt earn this sort of money doing anything else. Icy determination to succeed curled through her gut, squared her shoulders.
Mac disembarked with the rest of the security force, a few intrepid reporters and a camera crew, the initial blast of heat when she walked down the stairs sucking her lungs dry. Sweat broke out over her body and her shirt soon clung to her clammy skin. Something shed become used to quickly. After formalities, she waited with the other recruitsthe new ones and the others who had signed on for a second or third tour.
Like her, they were in it for the money, some for the adrenaline rush. Some of them would return home to family and friends. Some would die. Time would tell which camp she fell into.
The only route into the city, dubbed Route Irish by the Americans, was the most dangerous stretch of road in the world. Despite the fences on both sides of the road, there were dangerous overpasses and numerous car bombs planted to snare the unwary. From the briefing, Mac knew theyd attempt to drive straight through any situation, be it bullets or bombs. Stopping wasnt an option.
Five minutes later, they pulled out in convoy, protected by security forces from New Zealand and the United Kingdom, their driver pausing to wait while a United States military convoy crossed the road ahead of them. Overhead Mac watched two Black Hawk helicopters drawing fire, diverting it from the road. The entire time their car remained in radio contact with others from the convoy. The drivers and guards constantly assessed risk, on the lookout for threats.
Mac stared out the window, gut jumping because she knew danger lurked around every corner. Signs at the checkpoint authorizing lethal force brought home the reality of her situation. If she found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, she would die. No one left to look after her father then. She scowled at the thought and shoved it away.
Their convoy drove past the International zone, patrolled by the US military, the only part of the city considered relatively safe. They didnt stop, their destination the less-secure area where many security forces and their clients lived.
The Red zoneher home for the next six months.
Mac climbed from the rear of the armored vehicle, grabbed her gear and followed the other recruits into the main barrack-like building. All the domestic comforts, Mac thought, taking in the mismatched furniture, the clean but scuffed linoleum floor and the poster of a busty blonde hanging drunkenly on the far wall. She dumped her bags at her feet.
A tall, dark-haired man prowled through a doorway on her right and headed to the front of the room, his piercing blue eyes taking in the new arrivals. Macs breath caught the instant she glimpsed his face, hurled back to the past.
Shock drop-kicked her square in the gut. Why wasnt he at home in New Zealand? Only her military training kept her face impassive, the astonished gasp trapped inside her throat. Her training did nothing to halt the images flooding her mind, the memories of hard muscles beneath her questing fingers and the way it had felt each time his cock plunged between her legs. Damn, Louie had lied to her.

To put it frankly, Joe Thomas is r&b. He is the epitome of everything that an r&b singer is and should be. He has, over his long musical career, given us a slew of sexy slow jams and love anthems that have secured him a substantial fan base and a secure place at the top of the genre, even amidst the minefield of today's modern r&b scene. Joe is more than a singer. He is a musician, having a hand in creating pretty much every aspect of his music (a rare quality seen in the current era). As many r&b artists re-emerge to take their rightful places both in the spotlight and on our stereos, Joe (who never really went away) is getting prepared to launch his assault on the charts.
Tomorrow, Joe releases Doubleback: Evolution of R&B, much to the delight of his fans. The singles have already gained the adoration of his older generation fans as well as earning him hoards of new admirers.
How've you been? Where have you been hiding? I've been good. I've been hiding in the studio. *Laughs* I've been hiding in the studio and on the road and just consistently doing [music]. You know, I've been hiding under an independent label. I must say, it seems like that's been the question even though I've been putting out records.
How is it being on an independent label as opposed to being on a major label? Do you prefer it? Well, it's really nice. I've got to say that it's much more lucrative at the end of the day. I'm trying to sell records. I've got a following, a fan base and they're very loyal and anytime I put out a record they're very supportive. The last few records I've put out independent, I'm doing over 200,000 records and for me that's great. That's great. A lot of records on major labels, some of them are barely doing that. I'm excited about the direction I'm going. I'm building an empire for myself.
You have been releasing singles off your upcoming album Doubleback: Evolution of R&B is dropping July 2nd. Can you explain the title? Well to evolve or in this music, r&b, I always felt like you've gotta be going back to the past. I wanted to put the twist on the doubling back on, snatching from that sort of old school sound but also keeping it current to today's music. Just kinda tryna evolve that sound and that movement. And I just think that music has to evolve. It has to change. In order to change it, you're gotta be a part of it in a sense, you've gotta kinda to reach back and grab with that old school feel though.
How do you feel about the current landscape of r&b? Well, the current landscape… It's there. I mean it's there. It's still a prosperous industry and market for r&b singers or even newcomers that wanna come on board. I see this even more so because of the pop industry and everything that's being oversaturated at this point. I think it's really creating an avenue for r&b groups to come back and I'm really proud of what Justin's done to really give more of an image to the r&b sound because he was really doing his r&b thing with that album and with the singles that he's putting out. Even the r&b artists being different like Miguel. I think he's very unique. His sound is similar to something we're familiar to what I consider Prince, but he still has his own twist to it. So he reached back to kind of go forward. He's evolved. You've got some guys out there that really got their finger on the pulse.
What can you tell us about the album? Will diehard Joe fans love this album? I certainly think they will. I certainly think they will enjoy this album immensely. With the singles just being a feel for what the album is like, the old school feel but still current to today, I'm incorporating instruments but at the same time I'm emulating today's sound… what people wanna hear as well 'cause I'm still a fan of music. I listen to everything all across the board. I want to incorporate everything I still love and the things I'm accustomed to doing as well, which is my brand and my sound. I never wanna go away from that and try pop or rap and then once I wanna come back home it's like the door's closed or locked. I wanna stay grounded for my r&b fans.
Do you have any features on the album? I do have features. Fantasia's one of my favourite features on the album. A song called "Love &Sex" and she actually is one of the best singer/vocalists/soulful singers of today's generation. Also, I have Fat Joe on the remix to "I'd Rather Have A Love" my current singer, he murdered that as well. Also Too Short which was sort of a surprise record but I just think the combination was really, really cool. Very unique. That song is called "1 to 1 Ratio".
I'm asking this question because everyone seems to have this rapper on their projects… Is there a 2Chainz collaboration on your album? *Laughs* No. I don't wanna go too obvious, you know? *Laughs* No 2Chainz. None of those guys.
Who's producing on the album? Um. I'm producing a lot of the records. I'm actually playing the instruments. I'm got a producer who stepped in to get the first single, DOA. I guess that's his code name for his real name which I really don't even know. We haven't even met in person yet. We've worked via the internet and through the phone and it's been an incredible connection. He's really self contained. He's just like myself. Plays and sings and produce and writes. It's really a collabo between him and I on this record.
Any visuals coming? The visuals are definitely coming. I've got the video for "I'd Rather Have A Love" that's circulating at the moment. I'm gonna be shooting another video, I'm trying to decide on a single because it's a couple of records I wanna get to. I'm not sure which one yet. I'm still in a decisive mode right now. Certainly a lot more coming.
Any shows/tours? I'm doing a lot of shows at the moment. I'm pretty much putting a tour together. Not sure who's gonna be rockin' with me but I'm certainly gonna be on the road this year heavy. I'm gonna do a UK thing as well. A Japan tour. A Australian tour. A African tour so I got it set up for the rest of the year and I frequent these countries pretty often. Very fortunate. Very blessed to be on tours as much as I do. I may have Fantasia on the road with me this year. It could be a string possibility. There's a lot of friends I could call up and say "Hey. Let's get it goin'".
Why should fans rush out and get the Doubleback: Evolution of R&B album when it drops July 2nd? I believe with this album, it's gonna be a door opener forward. I feel as though there's gonna be a comeback very very strong and if you're passion about it, stick with [r&b] and that's exactly what I do. I wanted to create something that was beautiful, tasteful, very artistic and at the same time come to life. But really just kind of gravitate, evolve it a lil' bit. The instrumentalization is just phenomenal. I've got great musicians. I'm playing myself on the majority of the album. Everything from bass, lead guitar, keys, drums. It feels organic but it feels very fresh.
Is there anything else you'd like to add? Hurry up July 2nd.

text: A brief history of the scientific theory of intelligent design Jonathan Witt Discovery Institute October 30, 2007 Print ArticleCritics of the theory of intelligent design often assert that it is simply a repackaged version of creationism, and that it began after the Supreme Court struck down the teaching of creationism in Edwards v. Aguillard in 1987. In reality, the idea of intelligent design reaches back to Socrates and Plato, and the term "intelligent design" as an alternative to blind evolution was used as early as 1897. More recently, discoveries in physics, astronomy, information theory, biochemistry, genetics, and related disciplines during the past several decades provided the impetus for scientists and philosophers of science to develop modern design theory. Many of the central ideas for the theory of intelligent design were already being articulated by scientists and philosophers of science by the early 1980s, well before the Edwards v. Aguillard decision. Download the full article documenting the history of intelligent design.

Zombies Pack $5-Billion Economic Punch
Zombies are are huge moneymakers. In fact, 24/7 Wall Street estimates the walking undead generate more than five-billion-dollars in annual DVD and movie sales, video games, comic books, costumes and other merchandise. The financial blog points to the success of the four "Resident Evil" films and "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise as helping propel the zombie genre well beyond its early cult status. Video games like "Doom," "House of the Dead" and "Call of Duty" also get credit for stoking public interest. The blog predicts the already widespread appeal of zombies is only going to get larger.

Right. I've never seen
a red-jeweled CC front
emblem until now. I'd
guess it's an original
maker's mistake where
some rookie assembler
popped in the wrong
There actually are
several types
of "cross" emblems; my
CC trunk emblem has
mounting pins with
palnuts, not the far-
more-common chrome
The "cross" emblem of
represents "Crosley",
which in turn is Old
English meaning "the
cross by the meadow" -
a roadside shrine. The
Crosley family motto
translates from Latin
into "In the cross I
have confidence".
Crosley isn't the only
car having a religious
connotation; I can
think of Templar,
Crusader, Santa Fe
("Holy Faith"), and
Chrysler St. Regis.
(On the other hand, we
had the Studebaker
And there was one
American make (I forget
which) that included a
St. Christopher medal
as standard equipment.
Think that'd go over

Every day I sit at my desk.
And on my desk is the computer where I do my work.
And in front of my computer is the planner which tracks all the work I need to be doing.
And on that planner sits a Windows phone which keeps me connected to all the people and things that distract me from doing all that work I should be doing. (I've been playing with the How We Met App on Facebook a lot. Super cool.)
But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.
I love my Windows phone.
I customized the Start screen to put the apps that are most important to me in primary positions and I can change the size, color, and placement of those any time I want. It's super easy to move things around, suuuuuuuuuuper easy.
In fact, the interface on a Windows phone is by far the smoothest and most fluid mobile platform available. (I've had all three kinds.) It sort of rolls with a gentle whishhhhhh as it moves. It's so cool.
By the way, those are Live Tiles and Live Apps, so they're updated continuously all day long! At a mere glance, I can see whether I have new emails and texts, two things I check all the time.
And I have my daughter's contact tile pinned to my Start screen so if she updates her Facebook or Twitter profile, it shows me immediately. I can also email, call, or write on her Facebook wall in seconds through her tile.
I love my Windows phone!
Life is busy, we all find ways to make the most out of our time.
The new Windows Phone is reinvented around you including features like Live Tiles, Live Apps, Kid's Corner, and SkyDrive, making it easy for you to personalize your phone how you want it. Now it is easier than ever to stay in touch with what matters most.
