| Neo-Soul Gem: Eric Roberson |
17 Aug |
I’ve been keeping up with this dude for years and if you love some good Neo-soul, Mr Roberson won’t disappoint.
On a side note, this is the type of guy that I could see myself settling down with. So… Eric Roberson, Will you marry me?
I’m 28, I sing, learning to cook, not a club rat, don’t drink, great with finances, willing to try new things and I’m the type of girl you can take home to meet momma. Holla.

I heart Adam Lambert! He does things with his vocals I can only dream of. He’s like a magical unicorn.
If he ever has a concert I want tickets.
| Neo-Soul Gem – Noel Gourdin |
3 Jun |
Ready for some heartfelt neo-soul goodness? Check this guy out…
Blessed with roughhewn, down-home vocals that hark back to when rhythm and blues repped for both those components, influences ranging from hip-hop to gospel and songs that are nakedly emotional and truthful, Noel Gourdin states his case on his refreshingly heartfelt debut CD. Featuring production from Kay Gee (Jaheim/Zhané), Raphael Saadiq (D’Angelo/Angie Stone), Mike City (Brandy/Sunshine Anderson), Dre & Vidal (Jill Scott), Butta (Usher), Eddie F (Heavy D), RLES and Trackaddix, Noel’s debut release is soul at its best. Speaking to the vibe he offers, Noel divulges, “It’s about the emotions of the average man. My intention is putting my feelings on the track and leaving everything I’ve got in the recording booth. I want people to think; this is a man that you can feel. That you can slow dance with, have a drink with and cry with. It’s real music that affects your life.”
I’d smash repeatedly.

| Male Contraception: Progress Slow but Steady |
15 Apr |
For now, men who want to do their part for birth control have meager choices: A vasectomy — meant to be permanent — and condoms.
For years, experts have predicted that male contraception is under development and that more choices will be here soon.
But when? Experts agree it’s still a ways off, but it’s getting closer.
“It has been slow,” said Dr. Ronald Swerdloff, a researcher in the quest to find feasible male contraceptive methods. But there are good reasons for that slow pace, added Swerdloff, an endocrinologist and chief of the division of endocrinology at Harbor-UCLA and professor of medicine at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to take on a new product quickly because of untested liability issues, he said. And “one of the biggest single issues has to do with the fact that contraception in general is a difficult area it would be used by large numbers of healthy individuals.” The safety threshold, he noted, is high. Still, he added, more options are moving closer.
“If we really focus on studies, with funding, it could be four or five years” before more options might be available, said Elaine Lissner, director of the Male Contraception Information Project, a San Francisco-based organization.
The problem, she added, is that the research has been scattergun. “If we [continue to] do a study here, a study there, as we have for the last 20 years, it could take forever.”
At a “Future of Male Contraception” conference, sponsored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health in Seattle, a variety of methods were reviewed, including:
* Hormonal therapy and testicular warming — Swerdloff and his team found that giving men testosterone and another hormone with testicular warming helped suppress sperm. “The transient testicular warming [like sitting in a spa] causes the suppression to occur much earlier [than the hormones alone],” he said.
* Transdermal gels — In another study by Swerdloff’s team, 140 men applied either a progestin gel called Nestorone or a testosterone gel, or both. The researchers studied various doses and then drew blood samples to measure hormone levels. They reported on the 119 men who complied and finished the study, concluding that the combination worked better to suppress sperm.
* “Intra Vas Device,” or IVD — An alternative to a vasectomy, this method involves inserting silicone plugs into the vas deferens, the tube sperm move through and the same tube cut in a vasectomy. “The sperm can’t get past the plugs,” said Joe Hofmeister, president of Shepherd Medical Company in St. Paul, Minn., the IVD developer. “Preliminary six-month data show that 90 percent of 60 men [tracked to date] have zero motile sperm,” he said. More study is needed to track the IVD for reversibility, Hofmeister said.
* Vitamin A blocker — Columbia University researchers tested a drug abandoned by a pharmaceutical company because it interferes with vitamin A receptors in the testes, lowering fertility. It worked well in animal studies; whether it will do the same in human studies is not yet known.
These approaches, if successful, will take several more years to get market approval, all the researchers agreed.
