Hacker attacks
In the meantime, a lot of services have been attacked by hackers: Microsoft, Apple, Twitter, EADS and recently, Evernote.
The last example shows that hackers are not only interested in enterprise credentials but also in private data stored in the cloud.
I know that Todoist is very secure and reliable and you have a very good transparency.
As I know, all passwords are hashed and salted. Is this right? Do you monitor the service so that you are able to detect attacks?
Thanks and best regards!
All responses
Hello Andreas,
We have constant monitoring over all activity on the servers we're on, not only checks for suspicious activity, but also regular activity in case some unusually large amounts of requests would be processed.
Our host (Amazon Web Services) also has the industry's highest security standards and would ban certain IPs or requests automatically in case it would detect anything suspicious.
Of course all passwords are hashed and salted and there is no financial data stored on our end as all our payments are processed by PayPal, Google PlayStore and the Apple Store.

Who'd a thunk it? Turns out Charlie Sheen actually has standards, and Farrah Abraham doesn't measure up.
You'll recall that the "Teen Mom" dim bulb-turned-backdoor porno actress recently tried to befriend Charlie Sheen via text, inviting him for coffee, a playdate with their kids and/or a party with "porn star people."
The tiger blood-guzzling actor responded politely, until he realized their private messages had been leaked to TMZ.
Now, the gloves are off, and he's going after her most sensitive areas, including her latest breast augmentation (the photos of which she sold to In Touch, including a shot that shows her unconscious and topless on the surgical table, with a tube down her throat) to her parenting skills.
Here is his "epic rejection letter," in its entirety, per TMZ:
"hey, you desperate guzzler of stagnant douche agua;
I truly do not recall giving you permission to globally reveal any communication between us. congrats on surviving your lobotomy and an even bigger congratz on the recent attempt at porn.
your daughter must be so proud.
please send my number to middle earth and if allowed, eagerly follow it into said abyss and slam the door behind you. the world will collectively sigh as the pungent memory of you vanishes into the pedestrian troposphere of lame-suck and zero-life.
oh and I'm sure they'll wave the cover charge when they see your tranny-boobs and five o'clock shadow."
In other words, Farrah shouldn't wait for a callback on that "Anger Management" role she was hoping to land. Then again, father of five Charlie might want to watch the hypocrisy of criticizing Abraham's porn career, given that he's a big fan of X-rated cinema and those who star in it.
Farrah, meanwhile, helpfully informed TMZ that she's "not interested in him sexually."

The Marquis de Lafayette
Most Americans know Lafayette only as the adolescent French aristocrat who equipped a ship at his own expense to join the cause of the American Revolution and became almost a son to George Washington. While this was certainly the turning point in his life, it completely ignores his other -- even greater -- actions in the rest of his long life. It is very easy to find Lafayette in any encyclopaedia, on-line or otherwise, so here I'll sketch his long career briefly, adding material that doesn't usually get into the encyclopaedias.
Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette (he merged his name to become Lafayette during the French Revolution to diminish the importance of the aristocratic "La"), was born at Chavaniac, Auvergne, on 6 September 1757, to an old family of the provincial nobility: their family motto was "Cur non?" -- Why not? -- which turned out to be very apt for their most famous son. He lost both his parents early: his father was killed by the British at the Battle of Minden when Lafayette was two years old (perhaps accounting for his opposition to the English), and his mother and grandfather died when he was thirteen, leaving him orphaned but extremely rich.
In 1773, he joined the Noailles Dragoons as a protégé of Jean de Noailles, the Duc d'Ayen, and married d'Ayen's daughter, Adrienne de Noailles, on April 11, 1774. It was an arranged marriage: the groom was sixteen and his bride two years younger. However, they had been allowed to get to know each other well beforehand, and both approved of the match, which made them luckier than many of their aristocratic contemporaries.
Adrienne was reputed to be quite pretty: Lafayette, tall, red-headed and gangling, already showed signs of the charm that served him through his life. Adrienne turned out to be a redoubtable woman, who perfectly complemented her husband, managing his finances (something he was incapable of all his life) and, when the need arose later in their lives, a considerable heroine in her own right. It seems that she was in love with him, but that he, at this stage, regarded her with no more than respect and liking.
The nobility were expected to attend the King and Queen: Lafayette was no good at it, disliking the ceremony and being awkward and clumsy (as tall adolescent boys so often are). Queen Marie-Antoinette laughed at him, which may have contributed to the tragedy ahead for both of them. He had a strong family predisposition towards military glory, but France was at peace after a humiliating defeat by the British in the Seven Years' War (known in America as the French and Indian War).
So far there seems little to distinguish Lafayette from hundreds of other young noblemen in France at the time, nor to account for the principles and resolution (or pig-headed obstinacy) that he kept throughout his life. When the American Revolution broke out, there were plenty of others in France with ideals of glory, liberal theories, and a desire to give the British a bloody nose who wanted to join the American side. But Lafayette did it, in the teeth of opposition from his own family, and also in defiance of a ruling from the French government and crown, who wanted to stay out of the conflict, at least officially, and who forbade any French people joining the Revolution. Lafayette bought his own ship, La Victoire, and, with Baron de Kalb, set sail on 20 April 20, 1777, giving little advance notice to his family, his government, or even his pregnant wife about his departure. He was not yet twenty years old.
They landed in North Carolina on June 13, 1777, and by lucky accident happened to meet first a wealthy plantation owner and revolutionary, Major Huger, who welcomed the party. They were lionised in Charleston, and Lafayette, full of adolescent ideals and blindness, wrote to Adrienne three days after his arrival, describing America. It was "one of the most beautiful, best built and most agreeably populated [places] that I have ever seen. American women are very pretty [an eye for pretty women was something else that he never lost]...What delights me most is that all citizens are brothers. There are no poor in America, nor even what we would call peasants." [I think we must assume that Major Huger treated his slaves unusually well, mustn't we?]
He hadn't come all that way just to have a good time, and the party set off for Philadelphia to offer their services. There they had a rude awakening: the Congress was by no means welcoming:, because to appoint these foreign officers would mean that Americans were hindered from promotion. Most of their party went away discouraged. But Lafayette was more determined. He wrote to Congress saying, "After my sacrifices, I have the right to demand two favors. One is to serve at my own expense; the other is to begin my service as a volunteer." His request was granted, and he was appointed as a Major-general -- but in a purely honorary capacity. It was enough for the moment. Then came what was almost certainly the defining moment in Lafayette's life: he met George Washington. Lafayette was impressed by "the majesty of his face and figure," and Washington was friendly and courteous. Lafayette had at last found a father he could love and admire.
There are plenty of on-line sites that describe Lafayette's military activities in America, so I shall not cover them here, but only list a few at the end of this article. He endeared himself to the Americans by his undoubted charm and enthusiasm, his statement, "It is to learn and not to teach that I am here," his refusal to make anything of his aristocratic background, his unswerving loyalty to Washington, his undoubted courage (he was wounded at Brandywine when he helped to rally the troops), his willingness to take the rough life (he endured Valley Forge), and his generosity with his money, which he spent freely on ensuring that the men under his command were properly equipped (always something that makes a leader loved by his troops).
Lafayette's glory made him a hero in France, and undoubtedly contributed to the decision of the King and court to come out officially on the American Revolutionary side. From their point of view, it was one of the all-time biggest mistakes in history, as it drove the already shaky French finances into bankruptcy and returned a generation of French officers and men imbued with the ideals of Liberty: it was a major cause of the French Revolution. Many of the names of those who accompanied Rochambeau's official army would become famous in the French Revolution, including Lauzun/Biron and Axel de Fersen.
The war over, Lafayette returned to France a national hero (something which put Lauzun/Biron's nose out of joint slightly, as he'd been the first hero to arrive back, given the task of carrying the news of the victory of Yorktown to France). He arrived while Paris was celebrating the news of the birth of the King and Queen's first son. Adrienne de La Fayette was obliged to attend the celebration, but Marie Antoinette, who could sometimes see a good chance of favourable publicity when it was thrust under her nose, took Adrienne in her own carriage to meet the hero: Adrienne was so overcome with emotion that she fainted in her husband's arms. He carried her inside to the great acclamation of the crowd.
Lafayette took full advantage of his fame, wealth, and the society he lived in: Talleyrand (the other great survivor) said that only those who had known life before the Revolution could appreciate its pleasures. Lafayette had at least two mistresses: one who had rejected him before as an awkward youth, and the other, Mme de Simiane, whose family were friends of Mary Robinson's in her years in France. Adrienne presumably knew about them, since everyone else in France did, but stuck loyally to her heroic husband. They named their second daughter Virginie, after Virginia, and their only son was christened George Washington de La Fayette.
Their house became one of the two main centres of liberal activity before the French Revolution: the other, the Palais Royal, was owned by the Duke of Orleans, to which Lauzun/Biron was attached. There were differences (which ultimately became tragic) between these two centres, partly social and partly depending on whether America or Britain was the model for reform, with the Orleanists noted for "Anglo-mania." All Americans were welcome at the Lafayettes, including Franklin and his replacement as American Minister to France, Thomas Jefferson. He espoused a variety of liberal causes, such as freedom of worship for Protestants and the abolition of slavery (the Lafayettes bought a large plantation in Cayenne where the slaves were encouraged to work towards their freedom rather than being emancipated at once: typical of Lafayette the reformer -- and of Adrienne the manager, since she did all the administration).
When King Louis XVI, faced with an empty treasury and the need for new taxes which could only be authorised by some form of assembly, summoned the Estates-General in 1789, Lafayette was elected to represent the Nobility of his area (with some difficulty, since the noblemen distrusted his liberal principles). Lafayette presented the "Declaration de droits de l'homme et du citoyen" -- closely modelled on the American Declaration of Independence and Constitution -- to the National Assembly on July 11, 1789. The day after the storming of the Bastille on 14th July, when the French army was in disorder with nobody knowing which side any of them were on, the city of Paris called for the formation of a National Guard. Who was to lead it? Someone pointed to a bust of Lafayette, and said "Him." Nobody objected, and he was chosen by acclamation to be the head of the strongest force in the country.
If Lafayette had wanted power he could have taken it easily on many occasions (indeed, a young officer in training named Napoleon Bonaparte was watching his every move -- and no doubt deploring his failures to take his opportunities). But he didn't. All through his life, Lafayette wanted Liberty, Equality, Public Order -- and applause. He was the most recognisable person in France, mounted on his white horse, trying to keep the peace (not always successfully). He developed an eye for the grand gesture: it was he who designed the blue, white and red tricoleur, combining the red and blue of Paris with the white of the Bourbons.
On the occasion in October 1789 when the women of Paris demonstrated vociferously at Versailles where the King and Queen still lived and bloodshed was imminent, Lafayette and the National Guard brought about some sort of peace and compromise. He walked by himself into the Royal chamber, and one of the courtiers sneered, "Here comes Cromwell." Lafayette instantly replied, "Cromwell would not have come alone." In a typically dramatic gesture, he took Marie Antoinette onto the balcony in the face of a crowd screaming abuse at her and kissed her hand: instantly the abuse ceased.
The Constitutionals, of which he was one of the leaders (his own particular group were called "Fayettists"), wanted a constitutional monarchy on British lines; Lafayette wanted France to implement at once everything American, but he was willing to compromise. In the first years of the Revolution, they implemented an astonishing range of reforms: abolishing feudalism, making everyone equal before the law and the tax-gatherer, developing schemes for universal education, and starting the metric system (perhaps their most long-lasting and unqualified success). Lafayette was everywhere -- though despite his mountain of work he still managed to maintain his relationship with Mme de Simiane.
He and the other Constitutionals were like a pillow between two fighters on the Right and the Left (these terms first came into use then). On the Right, the Royalists regarded the liberal aristocrats as traitors to their class, and Marie-Antoinette especially disliked Lafayette. On the Left, the Jacobins and others wanted far faster reform, and a far wider extension of voting than the Constitutionals were willing to countenance. The Constitutionals were themselves divided: Lafayette's power and his eternal desire for applause irritated many who would generally have agreed with him.
When the King, Queen and Royal Family attempted to flee the country (in a plot masterminded by Axel de Fersen), the position of the liberal aristocrats was shattered: how could you have a constitutional monarchy where the monarch hated the Constitution? A crowd demonstrated noisily calling for a republic on the Champ de Mars on 17 July 1791: with the approval of the mayor, Lafayette called out the National Guard. It ended in blood: the National Guard fired on the demonstrators, killing perhaps fifty of them. It was the end of Lafayette's popularity among ordinary people. (The day after, according to the diary of the American diplomat Gouverneur Morris, he dined with Banastre Tarleton, probably trying to recruit him to join the French army: Ban wisely refused.)
The Constitutionals managed to hang on to power for little over a year. Lafayette retired for a few months, then was appointed one of the three leaders of the armies resisting the Austrian/ Prussian/ French Royalist invasion that intended to restore the King's autocratic power to pre-revolutionary times. He left his army to deliver an attack on the Jacobins, was threatened with arrest, and fled across the enemy lines to the Austrians on 19 August 1792. If firing on the crowd at the Champ de Mars was the most immoral thing he ever did, this was the stupidest. Naively claiming neutrality, he expected the Austrians to give him safe passage to America. Instead they threw him in prison.
He nobly (or stubbornly) refused to reveal anything to the Austrians, but the people of France were not to know that: the defection of this hero fuelled the already raging paranoia and was one cause of the bloody September Massacres and the end of any chance for the liberal constitutionals. France was declared a republic, Louis and then Marie-Antoinette went to the guillotine, together with many of Lafayette's former colleagues.
Adrienne was left in France: Lafayette wrote to her after the event (as usual) hoping that she would join him in what he fondly believed would be the safety of America. While he was kept in prison by the Austrians as a dangerous revolutionary, she was thrown in prison by the Jacobins as the wife of a dangerous reactionary. She survived (though many of her immediate family did not) partly through the efforts of Gouverneur Morris, who pointed out that killing Lafayette's wife would be seriously bad public relations in America who were the nearest the French had to an ally, but mainly through the fall of Robespierre in 1794. In the reaction to the Reign of Terror, she was let free.
She promptly showed her astounding courage and loyalty. She led a campaign to have her husband freed (in which Tarleton joined), and when that had no effect, she sent George Washington Lafayette to his godfather in America, and set off with her daughters to join her husband. Lafayette knew nothing of this; he didn't even know his family was still alive. He was kept in solitary confinement after a foiled escape attempt (involving the son of his old friend Major Huger) until, without warning, his cell door was opened, and in walked his wife and daughters. The guards refused to let them alone, even searching the women for forks which they'd brought in; only in the evening, when their daughters were escorted to a separate cell, could husband and wife be alone. Lafayette at last realised what a wife he had.
They stayed in prison with him until he was released: credit for this must go to Napoleon, who included it in his negotiations with the Austrians after he had defeated them in one of his earlier battles before he took supreme command. However, Napoleon had no wish whatever to see a rival like Lafayette back in France, so the family spent some years in exile. Eventually Adrienne (of course) arranged for his return. Napoleon was furious, but could do little about it: Lafayette's name seemed relatively clean now after what had happened in the Reign of Terror and the corrupt Directory which followed it.
Partly because of Adrienne's desire to lead a quiet life of domesticity for once in their lives, and partly because he might at last have learned some discretion, he kept fairly quiet under Napoleon, though nothing made him change his principles and he was firmly opposed to Napoleon's iron rule. Napoleon in turn regarded him with a mixture of awe and contempt: after failing to recruit him as part of the new ruling class, Napoleon, in a particularly mean-minded act, refused to let Lafayette attend the magnificent ceremony held to mark the death of George Washington, and even George Washington Lafayette saw it only as a member of the crowd.
Lafayette, now a grandfather, devoted himself to experimental agriculture, winning prizes at shows for his sheep, visited by old friends, including Mme de Simiane who was accepted as part of the family. During the short-lived Peace of Amiens between Britain and France in 1802-3, he received a visit from Charles James Fox: I'd love to know whether Tarleton visited too. Jefferson, now President, offered Lafayette the governorship of the newly-acquired province of Louisiana: he refused, telling Jefferson that the cause of Liberty in America had no need of him, but he would not leave France while it was "in the grip of despotism."
Then came the worst blow of all: Adrienne became fatally ill. She had been a devout Catholic all her life, and was troubled by her husband's Deism. One day she asked him about his beliefs, and when he didn't reply, she said, "I know what you are: you're a Fayettist." "I hope you won't think me arrogant," he replied, "but aren't you something of a Fayettist yourself?" "I am," she said; "I'd give my life for that cause." On December 24 1807, with his hand in hers to the last, she died. Lafayette wrote to a friend, "Up to now you have found me stronger than my circumstances: today, the circumstance is stronger than I." She was buried in the Picpus cemetery in Paris, which she had founded: it was where hundreds of victims of the guillotine, including her family, were buried in unmarked graves, and she had organised its purchase and consecration in memory of those dead. Every day for the rest of his life, Lafayette slept with her miniature under his pillow, and insisted on a quarter hour alone with it every morning.
He never re-married (not even Mme de Simiane, who remained a close friend): instead he returned to his other love, politics. When Napoleon's army faced defeat in 1814, Lafayette was in Paris: he was one of those who organised the heroic, but futile, attempt to defend the capital against the Russian army (his wily old colleague Talleyrand, on the other hand, who had served and betrayed every government since before the Revolution and also had plenty more life left) arranged for the invaders to enter the city peacefully).
Distrusted as usual by both the returning Bourbons and the Bonapartists, he nevertheless stuck to his principles. After Waterloo, when the Bourbons were forcibly imposed on the point of foreign bayonets and showed that they had learned nothing and forgotten nothing, Lafayette became once again a focus of liberal dissent. At one point, the Bourbon rulers sent the National Guard into the Assembly to arrest one of Lafayette's liberal colleagues: Lafayette stood up and announced himself as their founder: "Is the National Guard to carry out such a dishonourable order?" he cried, whereupon they withdrew in confusion.
Then, in 1824, came the event which explains why some dozen towns and many more streets and squares in America are called names like Lafayette and Fayetteville: President Monroe invited him to join in the fiftieth anniversary celebrations of Independence. Lafayette accepted. His year-long visit was a triumphal journey: thousands lined every route where he went, some people walking days to catch a glimpse of him; there were countless dinners, receptions, balls, presentations and speeches. He thoroughly enjoyed himself, eagerly greeting his American friends (ie everyone he met, from ex-Presidents to the blacks of New Orleans who had joined in the defence of their city) and obviously sincere when he murmured in his French accent, "Zo 'appy, zo 'appy." His secretary once collapsed under the strain, and his boat sank on the Ohio, but the 70-year-old Lafayette kept on going, visiting Jefferson in Monticello, dining at the new White House, received by Senate and Congress, as admiring as ever of pretty American women, and going alone into Washington's tomb, emerging in tears for the nearest to a father he ever had.
He returned in triumph to France, despite the Bourbons' attempts to quell the enthusiasm. There was still plenty left for him (including pretty women, since he retained his charm and glory into his seventies). For the next few years, he supported with money and hospitality the national movements of Greece and other countries in Europe and South America, admired by Byron and Bolivar, and leading the opposition to the ever-more oppressive Bourbon kings.
This finally erupted in another revolution in 1830. Citizens and students who regarded him as a figure from history found that he was joining them on the barricades. The Bourbon king fled; the country was in an uproar, and Lafayette led his last revolution. The choice was clear to everyone: a republic with Lafayette at its head, or a constitutional monarchy under Louis-Philippe, son of the Duke of Orleans who had been his old rival forty years before. (The story goes that Talleyrand, observing the events outside the window of his palatial house in Paris, murmured, "Ah, we're winning." When asked who "we" were, he replied "I'll tell you tomorrow.")
Lafayette, perhaps feeling his age, or perhaps remembering that the most inglorious period in his life was when he had power, made the decision which everyone followed. In a typical Lafayette grand gesture, he led Louis-Philippe onto the balcony of City Hall where the crowd were shouting. He placed the tricoleur -- the flag he designed which had not been allowed to fly since the restoration of the Bourbons -- into Louis-Philippe's hand, and embraced him. Lafayette at last had his constitutional monarch: a citizen-king who wore a crown and sang the Marseillaise.
Louis-Philippe's reign was not wonderful: though he was better than his predecessors, he was no longer the young soldier who'd fought bravely with the French Revolutionary Army while Lafayette was in an Austrian prison. But Lafayette didn't live long enough to see its disappointing end. On May 20 1834, after typically neglecting a cold, he died. He was buried in Picpus cemetery, with earth from America sprinkled over his grave, at rest at last with Adrienne.

What will influence the liner wear of ball mill

What will influence the liner wear of ball mill
By megan2008 on Nov 27, 2013 05:44 AM
Ball mill industry in China comes to the rapid growth in recently years, and the main reason is that China is still in growth stage, and many construction facilities including bridges, highway road, etc., still have a wide range of creation and improvement.
Ball mill is one of the essential part of mineral processing equipment. Many users of ball mill complains that the liner plate of a ball mill is with short service life and a high production costs. Fote Machinery summed up key factors influencing the liner wear of a ball mil based on years of production experience, which as a reference for the users of ball mill. Hope it can help the users avoid a similar situation in production and prolong the service life of ball mill liner plate. The key factors influencing the liner wear of a ball mill generally include the following several points:
1, The impact of media material
The generally used crushing media mateial include: various mine materials (manganese, copper, tungsten ore, chrome ore, etc.), various types of stone (limestone, granite, gneiss, basalt, gray rock, etc.) and industry coal used in power. The hardness of the media is the main basis that determines the liner plate wear, the higher hardness of the media, the shorter service life of the liner, on the contrary, if the media is with a lower hardness, the service life of the liner will be prolonged.
2, The impact of operating conditions
1) Eliminate defects not timely.
2) Adjusting undeservedly makes the ball mill running at a short positions.
3, The impact of liner material
The main parameters affecting the anti-wear effect is matching of the two index of hardness and impacting toughness of liner material. If the liner plate has a higher hardness, which means it has a good wear resistance, and the two factor basically is a proportional relationship. The impacting energy depends on the size of the diameter of steel ball and grinding tube.
4, the impact of the ball mill's designing and manufacturing and the installing quality.
The performance of the lining plate generally include the following two: one is to protect the cylinder; another is that the liner plate rotates at a specific speed to raise the ball to the required height to achieve the desired effect.
The quality of the liner plate is also direct factor affecting the normal operation of the mill.
Those above are the main factors affecting ball mill liners, we recommend that you should firstly consult the expert before you buy a ball mill. And you'd better go to the manufacturers with strength production and reputable brand purchase.

With the advent of modern medicine and modern conveniences, women have moved farther and farther away from the day-to-day rhythm of being a woman. Medicines and pills can regulate a woman's cycles, hormones, cramps, pain, and even moods. What all of these modern conveniences forget, however, is that a woman's life is so intertwined with her cycle that it is like the baseline of a song. Modern conveniences and medicines take that baseline or "drumbeat" out and force women to live their life out of their natural rhythm. To be able to heal, women need to get back in touch with this "drumbeat" — this female rhythm that is so essential to being a woman and that is so essential to life as well.
Denial of natural rhythms can cause women to feel confused, depressed, anxious, tired, and empty. A woman who has suffered for many years a rhythm that she and her family cannot identify may eventually even choose, of her own accord, to alter her "mysterious and annoying" rhythm with antidepressants, birth control pills, or any other medicine so that she can function in a rhythm that society more readily accepts. However, this denial and discard of natural female rhythms can result in much more than some occasional emotional upheavals. It can result in a slow chipping away of the female identity, issues with body image, relationship problems, fear, and sexual confusion. [Asset Included(Id:1258433658956;Type:Image_C)]
To regain the true female identity and cadence, women need to get in touch with how their cycle affects them physically, emotionally, and spiritually and learn to work with those rhythms, instead of against them. Women need to learn to honor and love those rhythms and see the wisdom in them, instead of feeling they are victims of their cycles.
The first step is understanding how and why those cycles function as they do and what happens to a woman physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually during each of these cycles.
The Physical Realm
A woman first experiences the follicular phase of her cycle. This phase lasts from the first day of menstruation until ovulation, when a mature egg is released from the ovary. The hypothalamus gland, which is located in the brain, starts this process by releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). So, during this first phase, a woman's hypothalamus is performing extra duties above and beyond its regular tasks, and an excess of the hormone is being released into the female body. One can note that there are differences in GnRH secretion between females and males. In males, GnRH is secreted in pulses at a constant frequency, but in females, the frequency of the pulses varies during the menstrual cycle, and there is a large surge of GnRH just before ovulation.
It is also important to note that the main function of the hypothalamus is homeostasis — to keep the body in balance. It serves as the "health maintenance organization" of the body, regulating its stability or equilibrium. The hypothalamus also generates behaviors involved in eating, drinking, general arousal, rage, aggression, embarrassment, escape from danger, pleasure, and copulation.
A woman continues to change in the physical realm until the first day of her period again. This phase between ovulation and the first day of period is called the "luteal phase" of the cycle. Although it is without the surges in hormones a woman experiences during the other two phases, it does come with its own changes. During this time, the glands within the endometrium secrete proteins in preparation for a fertilized egg. If implantation does not occur, then the endometrium breaks down and the glands stop secreting. This results in the shedding of the uterus lining we call menstruation.
Obviously, without an awareness of these cycles, it would be difficult to maintain a steady and confident self-image when hormones and proteins are being released into the body at different times of the month, and the glands controlling these emotions function on a cyclical basis. Many tests for emotional illnesses take into account how easily a person can control those emotions and how steady those emotions are. Steadiness of emotions is even considered an asset for leadership and for daily functioning in a job.
It is difficult for women to maintain a stable and confident sense of identity when the very definition of what is "good" in society is based on a steady meter of "two-four time" and a woman's body functions in the meter of syncopation or rhythms within rhythms.

Ive done it all at walmart, nails, hair, pharmacy, pictures, college equipment, we hungout there when we were bored, Subway, McDonalds etc, BUT i NEVER thought I'd buy clothes at walmart, like party; hangout at a bar; cool clothes; (socks don't count) & but worst of all I bought the Miley Cyrus' brand from Walmart.
*hides face*
how did this happen???
well cruising down the store, saw a bunch of cute clothes,& it said Miley & Max Azria. but I refused to buy walmart clothes, *snob whatever* I might watch Disney shows but c'mon wear Miley Cyrus?! THEN I saw these gorgeous pants!! you know the ones that look like jeans but are actually tights/ leggings, with pockets on them? so that way we can pretend we're not hoochie? yup those ones!! they were on sale for $7!!! from $20. So of course I got both colors in black & one in grey. & did some extra walmart clothing shopping ;)
I now wear those grey pants ALL the time. I think I need to buy more so I'll rotate, have one for Monday, another for Tuesday etc lol. oooh ooh I wore it on a date, & I have pictures!!
Its a badass line & its affordable, about $10-$20 (both images link to each product & 3rd to collection)
Anyways I love it!! & whenever ppl ask, I happily answer
"oh are those the Express pants?" and I go.. "nope got these at walmart for $7." lol
I hadnt figured out how to use my tripod then!! hence the great angle of the pants.
Love Bombchell!

I didn't even know the show needed anything more, until Ray booked his most demanding and bizarre client yet and Natalie Zea (Dirty Sexy Money) sashayed into the room. Wow, did Hung need her. And I don't mean because she's gorgeous, though that certainly helps. What a new dynamic she's brought to everything.
Dirty Sexy Money was one of those guilty pleasures for me. I like the work of Donald Sutherland and Blair Underwood, and found myself enjoying the wacky saga of the Darling family. But Karen Darling (Zea) was kind of one-dimensional. In the beginning, she found herself in her underwear in virtually every episode, so I was able to forgive her.
Later, she became a much more interesting character, and Zea proved she had the chops to play a beautiful and complex character. Or so I thought.
Karen Darling is a paper doll compared to Jemma. It's so wonderful, that Ray has fallen completely head-over-heels in love "crush" with her. The Hung writers have really thought this through. Ray's no professional. He can't separate the job from the sex as well as he's supposed to, so of course if you give him a mysterious, vulnerable, sexy regular client he's going to develop feelings for her.
Jemma's so bizarre and mysterious, she hires Ray for these elaborate role-playing schemes and then walks out on him if he doesn't perform to her standards. But she still pays him. How does Jemma have all this money? Why, in the latest episode, did she even agree to go on a regular date with him if her intention was to stand him up. Is she teaching him something?
I expect Ray will come out of his non-relationship with Jemma a little more able to make that distinction he needs to as a male hooker. So it will be good for him. But that also means Zea will likely leave the show soon. Which isn't good for me. I'll still watch, but I'll miss her. A little mystery is good for the soul. And the show.

I came to massage therapy after practicing yoga for many years. The body awareness that one experiences with a steady yoga practice inspired me to learn more about the body and ways to keep it happy, agile, and healthy.
I graduated from St Edward's University with a BA in Art and Literature, and then attended Texas Healing Arts Institute for my massage therapy certification.
I have always been interested in wellness. Massage, to me, is a way to unwind, let go, and rejuvenate. It is a time to connect with your own body, and listen to its needs. I hold a solid belief that massage is not just a treat; it is body maintenance. Regular massage, just like any other wellness practice such as mindful eating or exercise, helps keep the body working at its very best. Your body, if treated with care and respect, has incredible self healing powers. Massage facilitates this healing, and can help eliminate pain and discomfort, while increasing range of motion and boosting the immune system. Plus, massage feels great!
I approach bodywork with enthusiasm and great interest. You can check out my website at www.bluedoorbodyworks.com, where I post articles on healthy living, yummy recipes, wellness events around town, and other goodness. I look forward to sharing with you all the benefits of massage!

This is a question that comes up often, isn't it? Family, friends and co-workers will ask about possible gifts and it makes us sit down and ask ourselves just what do I want for Christmas? Katinka graciously asked me to come here on her blog to give my own list. It is probably safe for me to let you know that my friends and family would say I am one of those "hard to buy for" kind of ladies.
I am at an age (too darn close to being an official senior citizen) that I already have most of what I want and definitely have more things than I need. So, as this question arises each year I struggle with making up a list. Honestly the gifts that mean the most to me each year are truly things that money can not buy and I have been blessed with many of those and continue to be each year. I have good health, wonderful and loving children and grandchildren, a comfortable home and a peaceful heart. But the exercise at hand is to come up with things that I would like as gifts this year for the holidays so here we go….
Violet & Blue Snowflake Design Texting Touch Screen Stretchy Gloves
I just love the concept of gloves that can keep my hands warm in the winter and that I can keep on when I am out and about and need to answer my smartphone, operate the ATM machine or quickly look something up on my tablet. I also like that they are relatively inexpensive for one of the kids to get for me. There are many color and pattern options that they could choose but I particularly like this pair with the purple and blue
Ladies' Vanity Zen Fleece Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt
I just love this hooded sweatshirt! I love the kind of weathered and used look of the fabric and I love that it is fleeced lined. No one would ever mistake me for any kind of fashionista, nope I am a practical gal when it comes to my clothing, I want it comfortable! This one comes in five different color options and my daughters would look at this and know that I most likely would prefer the lavender (berry) or reddish (wildberry) colors over the others. Although, I would be happy with any of the colors. I might have to remind them that I would take a medium or a large (I don't mind if they are a little big on me). It might not scream fashion but it would keep my upper body warm on those cooler and even cold days during the year.
The Amish Canning Cookbook: Plain and Simple Living at Its Homemade Best
I love to cook and I love to grow my own vegetables so I also love cookbooks. I do not have this particular one and I have started canning again. I used to can and freeze a lot when the girls were young. Even though my husband and I are empty nesters having the healthier and better tasting produce from my garden appeals to me. I do not need fancy schmancy recipes, give me something simple that tastes good to try.
Picnic Time 5-Piece Garden Tool Set With Tote And Folding Seat
I love to garden! At my age getting down on my knees just doesn't work well anymore. I can get down, it is the getting up that causes the problem! Plus they get stiff in a crouched position. Having a set like this to carry my tools and have a seat to sit on would be wonderful.
Earth Magic Oracle Cards: A 48-Card Deck and Guidebook
Not one of those gifts that I just have to have but one that I would get a kick out of using. I believe as my ancestors did that we can learn much form the plants and living things around us. This would be one of those "just for fun" gifts that I would treasure.
Sophisticated Lady Wine Bottle Holder
Another just for fun idea! I don't need it but I would get such a kick out of displaying a bottle of wine in this holder on my kitchen counter! I think it is cute, quirky and fun.
Vivienne Westwood Honor Necklace
I do not wear a lot of jewelry but when I do I want it to be something special and something that I can connect with. I like this particular necklace because it reminds me of the colors we find in gemstones in the earth and it would go with just about any outfit I wanted to dress up.
American West Lady Lace 3 Compartment Tote
A leather purse or handbag is what I prefer to carry and I want compartments to keep my "stuff" organized. Hand tooled leather is my favorite because of the artistry involved in the making of it. My family also knows that I am a wanna be cowgirl so this purse suits my needs in a bag and my personality.
Floto Luggage Piazza Messenger Bag
I have a laptop bag but it is a "hand me down" from my hubby and it looks too blah. It functions well but I would rather have something different. There are certainly more feminine looking bags that I like but they are too small for my laptop. I know, this bag looks a little on the "guy" side, too but I like that it is leather and I like the kind of vintage look that it has to it.
Donna Sharp Melanie Log Cabin Hand Quilted 100-Percent Cotton Quilt
I am a collector of quilts both new and old ones. I do not have a log cabin quilt and these colors would look awesome in my master bedroom on our queen sized bed. I already own one Donna Sharp quilt and the quality is superb!
Many of the things that I would really want for Christmas would go beyond the budgets of my kids and I do realize that. What I often suggest is that they pool their money together because I would be happy with one gift from all of them. If you would like to see ideas that I suggest for kids as gifts, visit my Gifts Grandma Can Give blog.
Reader suggestions: What readers want for Christmas 2015
This year's iPad mini is selling very fast. That's understandable, because it's a prime tablet. Nice and small, nice and light, excellent screen, excellent speed and all the user simplicity of the iPad (as compared to Android).
Monster High 13 Wishes Twyla Doll
Monster High is a popular tv-series, game system and doll extravaganza for tween girls. These dolls are cute in a funky way and their stories are fun and different. I picked the Twyla doll because she's literate and shy. Which pretty much describes me as a teen.
Twyla finds a bottle with a genie in it and is granted 13 (!) wishes. Chaos follows and a nice adventure for Twyla and her friends.

Williamson: Simi councilwoman responds to poster rejection letter
Re: your Aug. 1 article, "City's poster offends atheist," and Aug. 5 article, "Atheist's poster request rejected":
Mr. Stuart Beckman,
I am in receipt of your letter dated Aug. 4, 2011, wherein you responded to Mayor Bob Huber's letter, and I am dismayed at your disappointment.
Maybe you will find relevance in this: As an appointed planning commissioner back in the late 1980s and as a current City Council member, I have always made it my practice to listen and support, when feasible, my constituents whom I represent, regardless of the subject before me.
Over the years, I have heard the residents of the Kadato Fig area not to disturb the zoning, I (we) listened and supported their request. I (we) listened and supported the residents when they didn't want building on 20 percent slopes in our community. I (we) listened and supported the residents who didn't want adult entertainment in our community.
In each one of those situations, I (we) listened to our constituency and implemented their desires. There has never been a time when an elected official can please all of his or her constituents regardless of the issue. We live in a representative democracy that has many different views and opinions as to how we should or should not conduct the public's business.
The Simi Valley City Council is given the responsibility to implement the will of the people in the management of its local affairs. In this instance, I feel it has absolutely fulfilled that responsibility.
By your own figures (which I actually disagree with) you seem to suggest that 15 percent of our population is excluded by the council's action. Have you considered that should we adopt your position that the other 85 percent could argue that they feel excluded?
You are correct that we have the absolute right to implement this program as we did and our actions deny you nothing.
You conclude your letter by saying that "Every time I visit the City Council, I will be reminded that you consistently and deliberately choose to exclude me and the 15 percent or so of the population that are secular from city celebrations and recognitions."
Have you considered, Mr. Beckman, that disagreement with your position is not exclusion? You are choosing to exclude yourself.
You quote the term "E Pluribus Unum," (Out of Many, One) but do you truly understand its meaning or its history?
It is the ultimate expression of tolerance and acceptance. It reminds us that with all of our differences we are one people and one nation that celebrate our right to disagree with each other.
I promise you that I will celebrate that fact every time you speak before us even though I may disagree (or agree) with what you say.
Barbra is a member of the Simi Valley City Council.

Here's why Steven Spielberg is such a great director
It's more than just one thing, of course. But Spielberg's masterful use of the long take is one of the things that make him so great. While most directors would use the long take as a way to teleport the viewer into another world and show off their skills, Spielberg tries to uses the trick as invisibly as possible.… »

Thursday, November 10, 2011
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Hitting the road for the final Atlantic Sun Conference tilts of 2011, the Lipscomb volleyball team travels to face ETSU on Friday night followed by a Saturday match at USC Upstate on Saturday afternoon.
The Lady Bisons (17-8, 10-1 A-Sun) head into the weekend having clinched a bye in the upcoming A-Sun Volleyball Championship hosted at Lipscomb's Allen Arena on Nov. 17-19 but have a chance to claim their third-straight regular-season conference crown this weekend with wins over ETSU (13-14, 6-5 A-Sun) and Upstate (8-19, 2-9 A-Sun).
Lipscomb continues to lead the A-Sun in hitting percentage (.250), assists (13.03/set), kills (14.09/set). Senior middle blocker Katie Rose is a big part of that equation leading the league with a .350 hitting mark overall and a scorching .425 in league play. Junior Kaycee Green ranks fourth in the conference kills averaging 3.56 per set.
The opponents: ETSU – The Bucs head into Friday's contest having won three of their last four contests and need a win to clinch a berth in the A-Sun Tournament. Sophomore outside hitter Megan Devine leads ETSU averaging 4.16 kills per set, a number that ranks second best in the A-Sun. Kiley Tamblyn leads the way defensively for ETSU posting 4.18 digs per set.
"ETSU is a really tough place to play," said Rosenthal. "They're working hard to secure their spot in the A-Sun tournament, so they're going to come at us with everything they've got. Megan Devine on the outside has done some tremendous stuff and is one of the premier hitters in our conference. But then you've seen some good work out of the middles from them with (Meredith) Hardy and (Jamie) Stancliff and then a little bit on the right side with McKayla Barber."
USC Upstate – Eliminated from postseason consideration, the Spartans will take the floor for their final contest of the season on Saturday against the Lady Bisons. Senior middle blocker Morgan Thomas leads Upstate offensively averaging 3.16 kills per set. Sophomore libero Morgan Page is one of the best in the A-Sun leading the conference in digs in league matches with a 5.10 average.
