iHerb Customer Reviews
I have alopecia areata and I used this product to regrow my together with the Nature's Answer Saw Palmetto Extract. I took two pills of each in the morning and in the afternoon for the first two days and then I have been taking one of each (morning and evening) before a meal or after. After two weeks my hair stopped falling and there were small hairs in my bald spots. Its been a month and a half now and some of my patches have fully closed up and the others are partially closed. This stuff works!!
I think the 5,000 mg dosage is the key. My hair has become so thick and luxurious since I started taking this Biotin. And it grows fast too!
Good Product 👍

I have digestive issues and I started taking this about 4 months ago to aid in carb and fat metabolizing. The results have been incredible. I take it in the morning with breakfast and at night with NOW foods Ginger Root capsules with dinner. The biotin helps my stomach empty faster so I don't bloat so bad after eating. It really helps burn off belly fat as well! My dad started taking it 2 months ago and has lost inches off his belly as well as 9 pounds. Excellent product to take if you are trying to lose weight!

Visit Dirty Spank
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Dirty Spank is a site that thumbs its nose at the laws in effect in certain countries and doles out the punishment to unruly rabble-rousers. Their hot asses are shown no mercy, so be warned.
On DirtySpank, chicks with blonde, brown or red hair find themselves over the proverbial knee to receive the cherry red bottom they deserve. While you may not understand why they are getting punished, it is exciting all the same to watch as their supple flesh turns all colors of pink, red and purple right before your eyes.
There are 14 videos that depict the reddening action available right now, but there used to be a whole lot more than that. Those of you who like to download your porn to either a computer or portable device, such as an iPod, are in luck. You can download as much as you want because there aren't any download limits. The quality of the AVI files is average and sometimes less than that. Don't know why they haven't worked harder on the quality, but this is what you get.
There are 12 sets of photos and again, there used to be more than that. You get a mix of medium-res pics and a few high-res offerings. I ought to warn you that many of the pictures in which a dude is spanking a chick are blurry or grainy. However, if there is a scene that you really like, you may decide to give the Zip download option a go.
It appears as though the website hasn't grown since the summer of 2008, so you probably shouldn't expect it to start updating again. It's unfortunate, but on the bright side of things, you at least get access to bonus sites called Ripped Pantyhose and Rope Porn.
As mentioned above, Dirty Spank doesn't have the most impressive content and it hasn't updated in a long time. Given these facts, you're probably be better off going elsewhere to see spanking scenes.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

The Stars of the Upcoming DC Book Ravagers Revealed
Other than Rose Wilson, obviously, we seem to have this lot.
So Caitlin Fairchild, a woman who I THINK might be her Gen13 co-star Sarah Rainmaker, a woman who I have a feeling might be a rebooted Livewire, a black version of Havoc, someone who I think is a younger brother of that Wolverineish dude from Legion, and a bloke who I think is meant to be part Daemonite or something.
Also, judging from the Teen Titans Annual that is also coming out, it appears that possibly Static Shock might be a member too. And that the Legion of Superheroes have been kidnapped by NOWHERE as well.
A thing that I thought was amusing, on a personal level, about the interview in the above link. Apparently the Teen Titans wasn't meant to be formed for another eight or so years.
So my Damian, Jenny Quantum, Milagro Reyes, Maxine Baker Teen Titans team is slightly more likely to exist, yay!

Dinosaur World
this wiki
- "We've been living above an entire world, and we didn't even know it!"
- ―Ellie after she entered the Dino World[src]
The Dinosaur World is a vast perfectly preserved Mesozoic jungle, located underground. It is the main setting of most of the third movie.
The translucent ice ceiling is supported by rocky pillars that stand as high as skyscrapers. There are waterfalls and forests full of cycads that were similar to the appearance of ferns and palm trees, which were common in the Mesozoic era. The light coming down on the jungle was caused by the sun that shone through the thick layers of ice up above. In other words, it was as bright as daylight. It is also very warm, like a mild rainforest. Apparently this is where Dinosaurs and other Mesozoic inhabitants escaped to in order to survive the K–T event. The Dinosaur World's most common inhabitants are dinosaurs (From both the Jurassic and Cretaceous period) , birds such as Archaeopteryx have also been shown to be native here.
Buck is the only known mammal living in the Dinosaur World, however it is possible that there might be mammals from the Mesozoic era that are native to the Dinosaur World. If there are (which is perhaps very likely that there are, since mammals did exist during the age of dinosaurs), then it is clear that Buck has not met with any of these native mammals.
Buck explains to the Sub-Zero Heroes that the Dinosaur World continues such areas the Jungle of Misery, the Chasm of Death, the Plates of Woe, and Lava Falls.

New Magnetics Designer v4.0 Get Finite Elements Analysis Features
Intusoft is releasing a new version of its popular transformer and inductor design program, Magnetics Designer. The new version 4.0 represents a significant breakthrough in terms of performance and new features. A major enhancement includes the ability to handle sector winding configurations for high voltage designs. A new "Bobbin tab" allows you to see the winding structure (Figure 1), as well as export the structure in the DXF file format. New 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) algorithms produce magnetic field maps that describe the winding magnetic field. The FEA solutions enable calculation of the AC losses for sector wound geometries.
Figure 1, The new Magnetics Designer v4.0 adds sector winding capabilities, winding structure image (shown above), DXF output and FEA algorithms.
Data entry is eased with the addition of a Design Wizard (Figure 2). An expanded winding screen gives you more per winding information such as current density and winding weight (Figure 3). Silver and aluminum wire types are now supported, along with a core database that contains more than 7,000 cores.
Program Overview
Magnetics Designer synthesizes all types of transformers and inductors. Typical applications include high power transformers for aerospace and industrial power levels, subminiature planar magnetics and general switched mode power supply design. Virtually any single phase, layer or sector wound inductor or transformer, from 10Hz to over 5MHz, can be synthesized with Magnetics Designer. Magnetics Designer is different than other FEA based analysis tools. It actually selects the core geometry and synthesizes the winding structure for you, making you dramatically more productive. You do not have to draw anything or specify any physical design characteristics other than the core family, material and type of wire (formvar, square, Litz, foil, pcb trace) you want to use.
What Makes Magnetics Designer Unique
Magnetics Designer performs synthesis as well as analysis of transformers and inductors.
Figure 2, The new Design Wizard helps lead you through entry of the required parameters: Core Family, Material, Wire Type, Operating Frequency, Voltage/Current per winding, and allowed Temperature rise. Entering design specifications is a simple matter.
Figure 3, The expanded Transformer screen displays more winding information. Major enhancements include the ability to handle split bobbin configurations and more versatile specification of the current waveform. A Fourier series is computed for the specified pulse waveform duty cycle and rise/fall time. New Finite Element Analysis (FEA) algorithms give you more accurate calculation of the AC losses.
Classical design methods rely on home-grown software programs that are patched together, or "build and test" iterations that are exercised until the appropriate behavior of the prototype component is achieved. Magnetics Designer eliminates these costly design methodologies by accurately synthesizing and analyzing the magnetic structure for you.
Magnetics Designer achieves significant gains in productivity by combining advanced analytical algorithms and 2D FEA techniques in a single, easy-to-use software tool. Initially, multi-parameter optimizations are employed to handle the design variable trade-offs (about 10,000 optimization passes per design). Finite element calculations are performed after the speedier analytical optimization algorithms. Tools which use FEA as the primary solution path can't perform the design variable trade-offs efficiently due to long run time constraints. Thus, the user is forced to choose the specific core geometry and winding structure. This is a major drawback. Magnetics Designer, on the other hand, does this for you.
Since the multi-parameter optimization algorithms are fast, the user can compare designs quickly and easily. The user can change more than 20 parameters such as allowed temperature rise, allowed window fill, number of turns, wire gauge and type, bobbin margins, number of parallel strands, gap length, layer insulation thickness, wrapper thickness, and end margin lengths. The program allows the user to split, move, and interleave windings and set variable size sectors.
The result is a tool that generates an optimized design with accurate calculations of all key performance characteristics from a simple list of electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications. Designers can consider various geometry, material and winding strategies without actually building the component, thereby ensuring a low cost, efficient design.
More information, application notes, a FAQ, and a demonstration version of Magnetics Designer are available on Intusoft's web site.
The "Power Specialist's App Note Book" contains over 35 technical articles on power supply design and power electronics modeling. The papers cover a wide range of topics including: SMPS design, magnetics modeling, signal generator modeling, power semiconductor modeling, and power supply testing. Many useful examples and modeling tips are included, as well as detailed discussions of key power supply design issues.
The book is posted on the Intusoft web site in PDF format. It can be downloaded at no charge.
The ICAP/4 simulation system contains many unique features. If you have used, or are using other SPICE packages, you may not be familiar with them. In this installment we discuss Automated Measurements.
The traditional post analysis methods for SPICE output data are analogous to using an oscilloscope. You select and display a waveform from the list of saved data, move cursors on the waveform and make your measurement (peak-peak, max, min, etc.) This process, while simple, is too time consuming when dozens of waveforms must be analyzed and hundreds of measurements must be made. This is the case when performing design validation, failure analysis or test program development.
Fortunately, ICAP/4 includes a new paradigm for waveform analysis. It's called Automated Measure-ments. The process is simple. Using a series of "Wizard" dialogs (Figure 4), you setup the desired measurements. Virtually any circuit quantity can be recorded, including DC, rise/fall time, prop. delay and triggered measurements on voltages, currents, or power dissipations. You do not have to write any scripts or do any programming to setup the measurements.
Figure 4, ICAP/4 allows you to setup several circuit variations with different topologies and part values (left). You can then assign as many automatic measurements as you want using a graphical Wizard approach (right).
Figure 5, The measurements are recorded automatically after the simulation is complete. The nominal measurement performance, shown above, can be viewed after setting the min/max limit boundaries for each measurement.
The measurements are automatically performed by IsSpice4 each time a simulation is run, and the results are compiled into a report (Figure 5). You can set limits or stress alarms for each measurement. The report will tell you how any circuit change (stimulus, part value, model parameter, etc.) affects your design (Figure 6). The best part is that the data gathering, calculation of the measured quantity, and report generation are completely automatic and transparent to the user. No user interaction is needed to process the measurements!
Why is this feature important? It gives you a general data analysis framework that is far more productive than the traditional methods of waveform analysis.
Figure 6, The measurements (Measured column) are recorded automatically after the simulation is complete, and are compared with the nominal values. Variations against the test limits can be easily seen using the Meter column.

Inverters, as defined here, convert DC power into AC power. They are widely used in single and three phase industrial applications. To limit heat dissipation, efficiencies greater than 90% are of primary interest, especially in the kilowatt range. Power transistors therefore, operate as switches, generating a square wave voltage at the output terminals as shown in the 400Hz-Inverter in Figure 7. Many types of equipment operate satisfactorily on a square wave supply voltage, but in some instances, a filter at the output is necessary (as shown in Figure 9) to suppress objectionable harmonics.
The power MOSFETs work in a push-pull mode. No net direct current flows through the center-tapped transformer, thereby reducing its size and weight. In a similar manner, all even-order harmonics are cancelled by symmetry (Figure 8). Stabilization of the output voltage is accomplished by a feedback loop that regulates the pulse width of the gate waveforms for the power MOSFETs. Figure 8 shows that with increasing DC-supply voltage, V0, the pulse width of output voltage decreases accordingly, keeping its RMS value at a constant level.
Figure 7, 400Hz push-pull inverter. The transformer was designed and modeled with Magnetics Designer. VO supplies the DC input voltage.
Figure 8, Plots of the output and clock signals (top graph), the RMS value of the output (lower plot, waveform 1), and the output frequency response. As the FFT of the output shows, even harmonics are suppressed.

The digital gates were modeled at the transistor level. They could have been modeled with digital gates, but the close ties to the analog elements would have required several A-D and D-A bridges (8 total) which in themselves can increase circuit complexity. In the end, the complexity is approximately equal. ICAP/4 includes digital gates modeled at the transistor level and at the gate level, so users can have a choice of which approach to take depending upon the ratio of digital to analog circuit content.
Figure 9, A 400Hz SCR inverter.
400Hz SCR Inverter
One of the major applications for SCRs is converting DC to AC power in the kilowatt range. Again, high efficiency is an important feature. For supply voltages above 24Vdc, values greater than 90% may be obtained. To avoid unilateral saturation of the output transformer and to make use of the full dynamic range of the magnetic material, a parallel inverter configuration is used to deliver symmetrical square waves under all load conditions (Figure 9). All odd harmonics are cancelled by the push-pull mode of operation. Feedback diodes prevent the voltage across the primary windings from exceeding the supply voltage.
Because SCRs cannot be turned off by their gate signal, a return to the blocking state has to be forced by reversing the anode voltage. Commutation is initiated by turning on the nonconducting SCR. For a small period of time, both SCRs are conducting. To avoid a short circuit, a small inductance, L7, is inserted. It operates as a choke by taking up the battery voltage. Finally, the conducting SCR is turned off by the negative charge that is stored in commutating capacitor C1. Values of C1 and L7 depend upon the supply voltage, the SCR recovery time (10-20µs) and the current to be commutated.
To get an undistorted sine wave output, a wave shaping filter has been added to eliminate all harmonics in the square wave voltage. The transfer function of the filter is independent of the load at the fundamental frequency.
Rload=1 to 10Zo (equals 5 here), Zo=3W, fo=400Hz, C2=1/(12pfoZo)=22u,
C3=1/(6pfoZo)=44u, L8=4.5Zo/(2pfo)=5.4m, L9=Zo/(2pfo)=1.2m. Additionally,
the filter presents a capacitive input impedance to the SCRs to
support commutation.
For the novice, and sometimes well seasoned SPICE users, analog simulation can present many pitfalls. In this section, we try to address some of them and provide advice and insight on how to avoid problem areas.
Ideal Elements: Parasitics
Characterizing the circuit, also known as modeling, is one of the most important aspects of simulation. Modeling issues pervade the entire simulation process. Therefore, it is not surprising to find pitfalls with even the most basic passive elements. In most schematic packages, placing a resistor, capacitor or inductor inserts an ideal version of the element. This means that there are no parasitics included.
Fortunately, such parasitics aren't usually critical to the design performance. Well, at least you hope you've designed your circuit to be parasitic intolerant. But as far as the simulation accuracy is concerned, it's up to you to determine where you want to add complexity in terms of element parasitics.
R-L-C Component Frequency Spectrum Limitations
Electronic circuits are always modeled over a finite range of the electromagnetic frequency spectrum. There is really no need to describe operation of electrical components from DC through RF, to microwave and on to the optical, x-ray and gamma ray spectrum. Not only would the model be complex, it would also be inaccurate and would provide unnecessary information.
The nodal system of equations which SPICE solves are valid only when the circuit elements are small compared to the wavelength of the highest frequency of interest; this limits the high frequencies below the optical band. Even with this limitation, the useful frequency range runs from milli-hertz to many gigahertz, over 15 orders of magnitude. The reactance chart of Figure 10 shows the expected range of parasitic inductance and capacitance over this range. The darkly shaded region represents the values of impedances that are realistically achieved with common R-L-C components and printed circuit board technology.
The lightly shaded region of impedances can be viewed as a transition region where parasitics become increasingly important. The boundary between the lightly shaded region and the unshaded region represents the smallest capacitance or inductance parasitic value, and therefore values in the unshaded area are unrealistic for single discrete components. At the high frequency end, this suggests the use of smaller geometry microwave integrated circuits, while extending the impedance range at lower frequencies requires larger geometries than are ordinarily found in PC Card technology.
The modeling additions for various components are shown in the pictorial inlays. First, resistors are basically defined at DC, and turn into effective capacitors or inductors, their impedance converging to that of free space divided by the square root of the dielectric constant, something in the neighborhood of 125 Ohms for PC cards. Similarly, capacitor and inductor impedances funnel toward the impedance of the propagating medium at high frequencies, and become resistive as the frequency approaches DC.
SPICE built-in models provide reasonable first order approximations for circuit behavior. Unfortunately, most circuits must be designed to be tolerant of second order effects, and sometimes to compensate in order to achieve a desired performance level. Most frequently, the parasitic and second order effects are related to changes in frequency.
The Intusoft model libraries and IsSpice4 can help determine which parasitics, if any, will affect your design performance.

text: 8 things no one ever tells you about being married On being married: Couples share their views on what no one ever tells you about married life. By Colleen Tully 2009-12-16 00:00:00 My husband Bill and I lived together for years before we got married, and it never occurred to us that things might "change" when we were married. Why, we had stayed together when I left to work overseas – what could possibly be more complicated than that! But to my surprise, things did change. Subtleties and nuances begin on day one of your marriage that no one ever tells you about – like suddenly I became a wife, and strange expectations started flooding my mind. Do I fold the fitted sheets properly now? Start darning our socks? (I still do neither of these things.) I asked other Canadians about their own discoveries after they tied the knot. Here are 8 secrets about being married that no one ever tells you: 1. He'll still leave the socks on the floor on your 50th wedding anniversary "If he leaves his socks on the floor on your honeymoon, chances are he is going to leave his socks on the floor on your 50th wedding anniversary. Some things just aren't worth fighting about – choose your battles carefully. And be respectful when making reference to your husband in the presence of your in-laws. He is a very special person to them as they have seen him from birth through to a married man." – Shannon, 36, married 10 years 2. Being married and spending time together is easier said than done when you have kids "I'm a new mom and time is at a premium these days as my son is walking, running and climbing – I need to be with him most of the time. My only advice is to spend quality time together doing something you both enjoy. Unfortunately that is way easier said than done as it isn't happening in our house at the moment. We'll keep working on it!" – Andrea, 34, married 7 years 3. Being married is like a contract you have to keep renewing "The one piece of advice I give my girls who have now started dating is 'It doesn't matter what I think of your new beau, my only criteria is that he always treat you with respect.' Whether you have been married for 6 months or 60 years, always put 100 per cent into your relationship and respect each other. If you looked at marriage as if both partners had the opportunity to renew the contract every 5 years, would your spouse want to renew?" – Judy, 41, married 18 years Page 1 of 2 – More couples dish on the secrets of being married, including the fine art of compromise and why you should consider getting two TVs, on page 2. 1 2

To provide safe, non-toxic effective makeup for women takes years of experience and effort. Ruthie Molloy, the creator of Illumianare Cosmetics Products, has developed liquid mineral makeup, which provide the immediate needs of women who face post-operative challenges and others with special skin needs. These products also provide care for sun protection, so that their wearers can live without worry about sun protection.
The damaging effects of solar radiation are both immediate and long-term. The formula of Illuminare Perfect Color Blush Florentene Fair provides a creamy, oil-free SPF 21 protection against the broad spectrum of UVA and UVB ranges of ultraviolet wavelengths, while still offering a beautiful makeup. The blushes in this shades of makeup -- also available in a range of tints -- provide generous color for daily beauty. Developed over years of research, the blush provides both beautiful, long-lasting natural color and the important benefits of sunscreen.
For a covering base, Illuminare Extra Coverage Foundation Concealer Florentine Fair provides a semi-matte finish combined with an SPF 21 sunscreen. This provides a soft, luminous finish that also locks in moisture and hydrates skin cells. The oil-absorbing formula of Illuminare Ultimate All Day Foundation both protects against the harsh UVA/UVB specrtra of solar radiation and provides beautiful shades of color. It lasts all day, without ceasing and flaking.
The best way to apply these protective makeup formulas is with the Illuminare Fast Application Sponge. This durable soft fabric pad offers a machine-washable alternative to sponges. The large oval shape allows a quick, flawless finish to application.

Janet Jackson re-declared her independence 20 years ago. Released on May 18 of 1993, her fifth studio album and first for Virgin Records was titled simply janet. It was punctuation as career statement, as she bucked the trend of her prior projects and left her family's behemoth of a surname deliberately out of the title. This symbolic move to be accepted on individual artistic terms was complimented by a set of 14 R&B songs and mood-setting interludes that expressed her own confident views on sex and sensuality, and of balancing the confident with the coy. Production and songwriting assistance came courtesy of the hit-making Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis team, but this was Jackson's moment of assertion.
The legacy of janet. has grown steadily over the last few years, especially after Kendrick Lamar scored a hit when producer Scoop DeVille hooked up a sample from Miss Jackson's "Any Time, Any Place" for the Compton kid's "Poetic Justice" single. So we checked in Scoop and a wave of current artists who've either paid tribute to the album (as with How To Dress Well's Tom Krell covering "Again" during live shows) or whose appreciation of the record's organic sensuality has seeped over into their own songwriting (see: modern soul men Jesse Boykins III, Bilal and Raheem DeVaughn). We also talked to alt-leaning figures like U.K. warbler Alice Russell and musical renaissance man Dev Hynes. Here's how they reminisce over janet.
Check out MTV Style's tribute to Jackson's iconic fashion.
1. First Time, First Place
janet. was released back in 1993, when many of its future fans were still in their formative musical stages. Here are those first listen memories.
Dev Hynes: I first heard that record from MTV. I remember being struck by the videos, especially around that time as MTV and video were kinda like in full force so the songs and the videos to me at that point are one and the same. My sister had the album the week of release and I guess I was like eight years old. I looked up to my sister so everything that she would listen to religiously, I would also listen to religiously. We'd sit and listen and dance and pretend to make up dance routines and things like that — the routines were definitely Jackson influenced! But that album reminds me of so much; there's so many things around that time and it was like a soundtrack. I really associated it with the 1994 World Cup in the USA and my mum letting me stay up to watch some of the games. It was definitely the first Janet album that I can recall hearing and begin aware that it was happening at the time. Then it was later on that I got into the earlier records. It's funny 'cause it's almost my love for the album is almost detached from my Janet Jackson love in a weird way just because of how young I was when I first heard that music.
Tom Krell: The first time, I was about nine years old. I was in the car, like my mom was playing it in the car. At the time I was mostly listening to stuff on KISS 107.5 in Denver, so rap and R&B. I remember songs like "Again" and "Any Time, Any Place."
Scoop DeVille: I was a young kid and my mom owned the record and we used to listen to it a lot. It was innovative and with her being part of a family that had such a big legacy, everything she did was top notch. My mom was a huge Janet fan from Control and Rhythm Nation 1814 — and she was also listening to a lot of Teena Marie and Michael Jackson then — so I grew up on it. It's second nature for me.
Jesse Boykins III: The first time I heard janet. was my freshman year at college; one of my friend's roommates was playing it. We were freshmen, so we were 17 and it was the first time girls were outside of their parents' house and got a chance to be completely open with themselves and that Janet album actually symbolized that for a lot of young girls, like to be open sexually and sensually and be able to date and experiment when all these things went down around that time. For a lot of women I knew, that was true. A lot of times women that I'd hang out with would put me onto a lot of different records and this was one of them.
Bilal: I think I was over at a girlfriend's house. I had a girlfriend who was really into Janet Jackson — I think all girls were really into Janet Jackson though! I remember just the craftsmanship on those songs, like the range and the arrangements. I really felt like the production on that album was on a whole other level as soon as I heard it.
Raheem DeVaughn: Those records, you hear them and it takes you back to high school prom and it takes you back to the first mixtape you made for a girl and it takes you back to your first kiss. It's just fond memories of love for me.
Alice Russell: Basically, before hearing the album I remember the image of her boobs! I remember all the billboards in the area — I know in some places it wasn't allowed — so I remember the image before hearing the album, if you know what I mean.
2. Go On Miss Janet
The cover to janet. was a soft and subtle (but still slightly coquettish) close-up headshot of janet. Later that year, a full-length version of photographer Patrick Dermarchelier's image was used as a cover shot for an issue of Rolling Stone — an uncut take which revealed Janet was actually topless, with the hands of her then-husband, Rene Elizondo Jr., covering her breasts. Despite not being an official part of the album, it's a provocative image that has endured as janet.'s visual calling card — and when married to the actual album art it sets up the range of sexuality the singer expressed across the record.
Raheem DeVaughn: Even as a youngster, the image was very sexy. It caught my eye!
Dev Hynes: Yeah, was Jermaine Dupri behind her with his hands? I think I read that.
Alice Russell: As a woman, I didn't relate to the cover! Maybe as an adult I may have, but as a teenager I just thought it was a pretty image. I mean, I wasn't gonna be getting my boobs out on the cover! But I don't find things like that naughty at all. So I thought it was a brilliant cover. All the other [covers] she was like covered in dreads, so you could see her going in a different way, in a different light.
Tom Krell: The actual cover is just her face. It's interesting, 'cause I remember with Rhythm Nation Janet, it was the first time my mom sat me down and was like, "Hey, women are badass, don't fuck around and be a bad man." I just remember thinking that she was smart with this one.
Bilal: The thing about Janet was just her sex appeal and her style at that time. I think the album caught my ear as a boy even though I wasn't into the whole stereotype of Janet as a Jackson. On this album it was those songs that stood out to my ear more than the pictures.
Dev Hynes: I've always loved the tenor of the album and how it's still groove based like earlier stuff but I think there's something warm there; it's a much warmer sounding Janet, especially in regard to Rhythm Nation which was so tough and brutal and angry. With this one, I love the tone and the warmness of it. There's real growth in the janet. album, for her, and it feels natural. Obviously Control is amazing but there's something about the janet. album that is completely unforced and natural — you feel it's really her.
Jesse Boykins III: For a woman to be expressing those things, it was cool. It's like she's a lady but she's also a human being and she has urges and she acknowledges these things and she's not gonna act like they don't exist. She was sensual and seductive and at the same time classy when it needed to be, you know?
Raheem DeVaughn: The album was her standing out. If you look at Janet then, you didn't look at her as Michael Jackson's little sister any more — you looked at her as Janet, you know? She was a strong, black woman; young, classy but provocative.
Jesse Boykins III: She was being brave enough to say whatever she wanted to say and not being afraid of what anyone might have to say about it after the fact. She sat down with the writers and came up with these concepts that were not necessarily talked about a lot and not necessarily looked on as things to talk about in a song format at the time — and especially not from a pop artist who was already so iconic based on her family name. She was being fearless.
3. Janet.'s Three Key Songs
Janet.'s first official single was "That's The Way Love Goes," a hazy, nostalgia-dipped summer-of-'93 anthem that hit the number one spot on the Billboard charts. It was followed by the super-ballad "Again," the new jack swing-tinged trio of "If," "You Want This" and "Because Of Love," and the sultry slow jam "Any Time, Any Place." Three of them have endured as the album's signature songs.
Tom Krell: I've always just loved super sentimental music so obviously "Again" and "Because Of Love" is such an amazing song, and "Any Time, Any Place" is so good. I didn't like "That's The Way Love Goes" 'cause it was a little too grown up for me, but I could always relate to "Again." That song has been a big part of my life since 1993.
I really like music where the musical form and the musical choices reflect the emotional stuff that's going on in the song. The way that song is so sensitive and afraid and then it builds to this triumphant moment and then it becomes so sensitive and guarded again, it's a description of this feeling. It's so curious at first with the music, and she's singing about "I heard from a friend today and she said that you were in town." It's very curious and there's this crescendo and she's no longer afraid and guarded and she's this open sensitivity where she sings that she's falling in love again. Then the final moment is just unbelievably sweet.
Dev Hynes: "Again," I love that song. I feel like it's a memory thing for me more than just the actual song. It reminds me of being really young. That song was huge and it was everywhere.
Scoop DeVille: There's a classic on there with "Any Time, Any Place." That record is just amazing, so good.
Bilal: "Any Time, Any Place," man, just the chord changes on there, the A and the B section, I felt like that was some new stuff that hadn't happened before in R&B! Even when I met Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, I told them that. They was on another level, production-wise on that album. As a young kid and a musician, I stood up and was like, "Woah, that's kinda ill. This is on a Janet Jackson album?"
Jesse Boykins III: "That's The Way Love Goes," of course. That song helped me realize how conceptual she was making this album, you know? Everyone raves about Michael Jackson of course and the Jackson Five, but that song really symbolized Janet being a great artist on her own to me.
Alice Russell: I'll be honest, not the whole album hit me, but I loved "That's The Way Love Goes" and I was really into the songs that mixed in like the new jack swing thing, and the melodies are kinda like Motown, you know? That song reminds me of being a teenager and lots of guys were into hip-hop and going to parties and hearing tracks like that and [Mary J Blige's] "Real Love" and remixes off the album. It reminds me of party time as a teenager.
4. The Minneapolis Hit Factory
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis's Flyte Tyme studio in Minneapolis acted as the creative hub for recording janet. The production duo are credited with masterminding the tone of the album, which pulled off a canny fusion of the uptempo new jack swing styles of the day with a more traditional (and even adult contemporary) R&B songwriting base. They were assisted by regular studio spar Jellybean Johnson. For her part, Janet upgraded her role from being a vocal foil on prior albums to becoming wholly involved in the songwriting side of the project.
Raheem DeVaughn: This was Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at the height of their career, just as songwriters. It's timeless and iconic.
Scoop DeVille: They had a huge chemistry when they were creating those songs. The instrumentation and the vocals sounded so cool together; I think they had it down to a good science on how Janet should sound. Musical geniuses. A lot of people should go back to those records that were being created as it sounds, I'd say, even more futuristic than it did back then.
Bilal: They influenced all soul music. Their approach, that whole method of coming from Minneapolis, they have a certain approach, like even with Prince. They play blues a different way. They put a lot into their music, you know?
Jesse Boykins III: Jam and Lewis made a conceptually great record 'cause it had a lot of different styles in it. It had like the '90s new jack swing feel to it, but it also had a little alternative vibe to it and it definitely had a pop vibe.
Dev Hynes: When it was released, I wasn't really aware of Jam and Lewis. But that was definitely the start of the time period where I'd pretend I was listening to songs in detail, like I'd take songs off the radio and make little mixes and pretend I was dissecting them. And, you know, a couple of years ago I spent a good month listening to the album, kinda in an analytical way, and I feel like that album was a huge growing point in their production, in the progression of Jam and Lewis.
Tom Krell: I mean, I love the production of that record but for me it's all about her voice. She could sing a bunch of a capellas into a smart phone and release it and I would download it and listen to it every day.
Alice Russell: I was really into my new jack swing, and the album was a sort of hip-hop and soul mix, so I knew Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis… and they had Jellybean Johnson. [Pauses.] They had really good names!
5. Poetic Justice and The Legacy
Two decades on from its original release date, janet. occupies a curious position in the Miss Jackson discography: It's not as frequently heralded as the feistier Control and the polemical Rhythm Nation 1814, but in 2013 the album's influence is more apparent, not least as a sample source for west coast wunderkind Kendrick Lamar's "Poetic Justice" song. And don't be surprised to see more janet. covers and samples popping up before the year's out…
Tom Krell: I cover "Again" when I play live. There's an easy answer and a complicated answer to why I chose that song. The complicated one is about the structure, which I think I've already talked about, and the easy one is that I just liked the sweetness of the song from a very young age. It was for the Pitchfork Music Festival, I wanted to do an amazing cover with an orchestra, and I just thought, "Oh, yeah, "Again" has to be it." But it would be absolutely amazing to do a duet together. I'd love to build a track with her and maybe sing some harmonies but watch how she takes control of the track and see what I can learn from it. It would be a dream to sing some counterpoint movement with janet. It's such a dream.
Dev Hynes: Her voice is so distinctive and I really love it when she's in a high register, so if I could work with her I'd try and make something that's warm in tone — probably similar to the janet. album, actually. I'd try and repress my Control and Rhythm Nation vibes until later in the session!
Scoop DeVille: I sampled "Any Time, Any Place" after I heard the record on the radio when I was in the car. It took a minute for me to figure out how to sample it 'cause I didn't want to sample it like everyone else would, so I tried to live with the sample and kept messing around with it. I have an original version that's different — the original was me trying to chop the sample and it wasn't coming out the way I wanted it to. But I kept going back to it until I could master the sample. When I was making "Poetic Justice" I didn't want to take away from the natural essence of the original record so I tried to build around it and let that be the base of the song.
Did Kendrick Lamar recognize it was a Janet song? Oh, yeah, 'cause we're the same age so he was like, "This is crazy!" He was attached to the record when I played it. A lot of people were fighting over that record, from 50 Cent to other people, but at the time I thought it would be the right move to give it to a new artist and someone from that era who understands what that song is.
People have reacted to "Poetic Justice" in so many different ways — Busta Rhymes did a remix of the song with Q-Tip and they both have experiences with Janet with Busta shooting the video with her and Q-Tip being in Poetic Justice with 2Pac and janet. They got to share their experiences and got to talk about their past. It's awesome to see that record be such a big movement. Now you see these girls with the braids like Janet in Poetic Justice and with the hashtags on Instagram you can see girls talking about the braids and Kendrick. It's going full circle for janet. I even saw Janet in braids when the record came out! I don't know if that's her blessing us with knowing about the record, but anything related to "Any Time, Any Place" is always going to be a hit. [Pauses.] Actually, I have some [songs] that are still in the works that use Janet records. I've sampled many of her records, for sure!
Alice Russell: The last time I listened to the album in full was about four years ago. It was like going back in time. I have a lot of stuff like this on vinyl and I'm touring a lot so I don't always get to dip back into it, but I was home a while back and I got into that and the first Missy Elliot album at the same time. If I had to do a cover from it I'd do "That's The Way Love Goes." You could do something quite different with that, put a nice synth melody on it.
Jesse Boykins III: I listened to janet. again two years ago. It's one of her best pieces. It made a mark on what a women can express, and I don't think she really cared how it was perceived by the mainstream media. That's why we have the Rihannas and we have the Beyoncés and artists that are openly proud of being sexually powerful.

After a long search of the forums I have found a lot of conflicting information as to what to apply on the cup threads when installing a cartridge bottom bracket.
It's a 3 piece Miche Primato Pista 110mm/ISO BB in case the make and model matter to anyone, with BOTH cups being adjustable.
I've looked at several manufacture's websites as well. Some suggest grease (I already have a tube of Phil Grease) Others suggest Teflon plumbers tape and while others suggest using Loctite 242 Blue.
As it is an ISO BB, everyone suggest not putting grease on the taper or the inside of the crank for ISO so it doesn't go on "to far" and deform the taper. That makes sense to me. Go dry at the connection point for ISO square taper. I guess that differs from ISIS where you would use grease...
Anyway, as for the cups on the BB I am open to suggestion.... What do most mechanics do? Thanks!

My babies are already watching TV and they are only 16 months old. I'd love to tell you it's just a little Baby Einstein now and again but they are already hardcore with an unfortunate affinity for the Wiggles. During every mealtime you will find my babies strapped into their booster seats in front of the TV vacillating from laughing and giggling like little impish maniacs to straight zoning out while eating their breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've admitted publically a tendency to allow my preschool daughter to watch TV and not make a big deal out of exactly how many minutes she logs. A lot of times she, like her mama, likes to have it on as background noise while she colors, runs around the house or tells me stories about who got in trouble for using a "bathroom word" in the classroom. But I didn't think my twins would be into it so early. But here's something really crazy: the television during meals is actually a form of therapy. And no, not just for me.
As you know, we've tried every trick in the book [0] to get Sadie our miniature twin to eat like a normal baby. And by normal baby I mean at least take more than one bite of food in any given meal. If you know me and you know my column, you know what a struggle this has been for us from the moment we took her home from the NICU. Despite the g-tube she has which helps her get extra nutrition, mostly overnight; she hasn't gained an exceptional amount of weight. Funny enough, when I wrote Sippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay [1] I distinctly remember advising parents not to worry so much about what their kids eat or don't eat. At that time, I had a kid with no food issues so I had not experience dealing with one who literally doesn't eat. Let this be my mea culpa. I didn't know. I didn't understand that that advice is not for all parents. And we are definitely not the only exceptions. And so, I've worried enough about what Sadie eats and doesn't eat for an entire worry army. I've earned a Silver Star in worry.
Sometimes the parenting "rule book" has to be thrown away completely in order to be the best you can be. I don't know if there are any hard and fast rules about parenting but I do know that plopping kids in front of the TV for every meal is frowned upon in most circles. But in our family it's exactly what we need. And if we're ever going to get rid of the button, the kid's gotta eat - which leads me to the overconsumption of Wiggles in our living room.
First we tried encouraging Sadie to eat by sitting with her and cheering her on for every bite. When that left her annoyed, we moved to letting her be and just eating what she wanted and quickly removing her tray when she tried to push it away. Fine by her. Not so much for me. So we'd been going a long like this for awhile until one day early last week, the TV was on and I started feeding Sadie from a plate of food while she was in zone mode. She ate more than I'd ever seen her eat apparently because she wasn't thinking about it. Yes! Exactly the same reason why if you're overweight you are not supposed to eat mindlessly –just ask my thighs. But you and I are not sixteen pound, sixteen-month-olds! I excitedly told Sadie's occupational therapist the news the next time she came over and she tried it herself. It worked again. We were then instructed to try it consistently –and by consistently – every meal, everyday for at least a week to see if it makes a difference. Of course her sister gets in on the fun because they eat every meal together (another form of therapy – eating is social!). The good news is it's working! Sadie's never eaten more food than she has in the past week. She's stuffing her face with mac & cheese, shredded cheese, ravioli stuffed with cheese –pretty much anything in the cheese family, but yesterday she even allowed some broccoli! The bad news is I can sing the fucking Wiggles' theme song in my sleep and have had more than one dream about Captain Feathersword. Let's never speak of that again, okay?
So yeah, it's unconventional, but like Lorenzo's Oil, The Wiggles have been a long sought after remedy for a seemingly unwinnable situation. For that, I'm grateful. At least this week.

(Grant Halverson/Getty Images)If you look deep enough, or want to make fun of a rival badly enough, almost every NCAA tournament game has a hook. This year's crop, though, is really inviting, with solid matchups and fun storylines. Here are a handful of things that popped into my head on the first run through the matchups.1. The potential Roy Williams Bowl in the Round of 32 ... if North Carolina can ward off the Ghost of Sumpters Past in its first game.2. Trey Burke vs. Nate Wolters. B. Rabbit is a Jackrabbit in this rap(t) battle.3. Minnesota going for a 60 percent OReb rate against UCLA ... and still probably finding a way to lose.4. Adam Haluska getting 15 more minutes of undesired fame in every promo for the Florida game.5. The fact that UNLV fans at the team's selection show gathering audibly oohed and aahed when former coach Lon Kruger's Oklahoma Sooners drew MWC foil San Diego State.6. Every casual fan trying to figure out if Florida Gulf Coast plays like Davidson. Or Ohio.7. Pitt having a chance to pull a Reverse Butler, taking out a 1-seed as an 8 and inheriting its relatively reasonable path to the Final Four.8. Marshall Henderson watching Wisconsin play offense with a look of disgust.9. Arizona doesn't have a point guard and doesn't defend the 3 well. Belmont has Kerron Johnson and Ian Clark. Hmmmm.10. Duke's a 2-seed. Albany has six letters in its name. Hmmmm.11.

Missouri's frontcourt watching the same film and cringing at the Rams' rebounding tenacity.14. Dear Akron, congratulations on winning the MAC auto bid with a freshman backup point guard. Enjoy Havoc. Sincerely, The Committee.15. Relatedly, this photo of Akron coach Keith Dambrot taken a few weeks ago. Oops.16. Miami going 1-2 in the Pacific in the Diamond Head Classic, then drawing Pacific (which is not all that close to the Pacific)17. Syracuse drawing another "mont" in a 4 vs. 13 game. OK, fine, I'll be the first to make the Vermontana joke. Grizz can shoot the 3-ball, too.18) Oklahoma State trying to figure out how it ended up in a 5 vs. 7 game this early.19) A classic "Now you HAVE to play us" in-state matchup between Memphis and Middle Tennessee State, if the Blue Raiders get past Saint Mary's. 20) Deshaun Thomas watching Iona's offense and nodding his head in approval.

Getting to the U.S. and New London, Connecticut
A few general suggestions when traveling:
Label all your baggage, inside and outside!
Please note: All forms of transportation to the College (shuttles, connecting flights, buses and trains) are primarily available during daytime hours. Late night or evening arrival may necessitate a stay overnight at the airport hotel until the next day. Notify the Dean of Studies/International Student Adviser's office in advance at 1 (860) 439-2050. Remember: if your train or plane does not seem to be there or if you are in a strange city and want to take a bus, ASK ONLY UNIFORMED EMPLOYEES who work for the company (airline, bus company, Amtrak) for information.
It is most convenient to get to the College if you land at Logan Airport in Boston (about 2 hours from the College). If you arrive at Logan Airport in Boston you can take the "T", which is the Subway train that brings you to South Station ($1.25) where you can take the Amtrak train (about $30) to New London, Connecticut.
If you arrive at T.F Green Airport in Providence (45 minutes-1 hour from the College) you can take a taxi or an airport shuttle ($9- $12) to the Amtrak train station or the Greyhound bus station in Providence and from there take the train ($19- $24) or the bus ($15- $20) to New London, Connecticut.
If you arrive at JFK Airport in New York you can take the airport shuttle or AirTrain from inside the JFK terminals, to the Howard Beach Station. Then take the Manhattan-bound A train (blue line) to 34th Street-Penn Station. In Penn Station you can take the Amtrak train (about $60) to New London, Connecticut, or alternatively you can take the shuttle to Port Authority where you can take the Greyhound bus ($20-$25) to New London.
Another alternative is to book a ride with Connecticut Limousine Services to take you from JFK Airport to New Haven, Connecticut ($75) where you can take the Amtrak Train to New London, Connecticut. Call to make a reservation in advance at 1(203) 878-2222.
From the City of New London to the College
Once you arrive at the New London Greyhound/ Amtrak (train) station (Union Station) especially during the evening or night hours, you can easily take a taxicab to the college ($7 +10-15 % tip. The cabs are usually parked in front of the train station. The following taxicab companies serve the New London/Groton Area: Yellow Cab (1-860-443-4321) or Harry's Cab (1-860-442-4054).
If you will be traveling out of the U.S. on holiday and you are here in the States on an F-1 visa, make sure you have a valid re-entry signature on page 3 of I-20. The signature is valid for 12 months. If your signature is more than 12 months old, please go to the office of the International Student Adviser to get a new one.
Air travel within the U.S.
You need to have a government-issued ID when you fl y within the U.S. This means an U.S. driver's license if you have one, your passport, a state issued ID but NOT a student ID. You can get tickets by contacting the airlines directly on the phone or on the Web, by looking at Web sites that find cheap tickets (like http://www.lowestfare.com/ or http://www.priceline.com/), or by using a travel agent. Connecticut College students often fly out of and into Providence, RI, or Hartford, CT.
Connecticut Limousine (http://www.ctlimo.com/) will pick you at La Guardia, JFK, Newark or Bradley Airport and take you to New Haven, CT. Prices are approximate: La Guardia/JFK: $40 one way; Newark: $45 one way, Bradley: $26 one way. Call 1-800-472-LIMO (1-800-472-5466) at least ten days in advance.
Buses and Trains: New York and Boston Greyhound (http://www.greyhound.com/). Check the website or call 1-800-231-2222 or the New London bus station at (1-860)-447-3841. Amtrak http://www.amtrak.com/). Check the website or call 1-800-USA-RAIL (1- 800-872-7245) or the New London train station at (1-860)-444-4929. The Student Advantage Card costs $20 per year and gives you 15% off on Greyhound and Amtrak fares. It can be obtained through Greyhound (online) or Amtrak (at the station). ISIC: Greyhound gives 10% off to International Student Identity Card holders. This card is probably available in your home country's student bureaus for a $5 fee, and provides discounts all over the world. Ask your travel agent or go to http://www.isic.org/.
The Connecticut College art/art history departments have a bus that goes to New York for $30 round trip once a month on Saturdays. Call the department at Ext. 2740 to reserve a seat. Reservations are required.
Travel and explore the Northeast U.S.
New London is situated in a great place for accessing interesting travel destinations. New York City is three hours away and Boston is only two. New Haven (Yale University) and Providence (Brown, RISD, etc.) are both 40 minutes away by train. The trains (http://www.amtrak.com/) are expensive, so you might want to try the bus (http://www.greyhound.com/). The train/bus station is only a five-minute drive from campus. Most major cities on the East Coast are reachable from New London with only one train.
If you plan to travel farther, Providence and Hartford have big airports with frequent domestic flights to all over the States.
Don't always assume the train will be the cheaper option. In some cases planes might as well be much cheaper on some routes (a flight from Providence to Baltimore, Maryland, costs half as much as a train ticket).
Travel in the New London area
See the "Transportation" section for local transportation solutions.
Taxis and Limos: Yellow Cab: (860) 443-4321, Harry's Cab: (860) 442-4054, New London Limousine: (860) 440-3898.
To get a driver's license, call Connecticut DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) at 1-800-842-8222.
Camel Van, a shuttle service, provides students and other members of the Connecticut College community with transportation to retail and entertainment venues in the greater New London area as well as to the transportation center downtown. The van operates Thursday through Sunday.
