Xena: Warrior Princess was a spin-off from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, following the tale of Xena, a reformed villain who was seeking to atone for her bloody past, and Gabrielle, a young woman who wanted to be a bard and left her village to follow Xena. The friendship between Xena and Gabrielle was at the heart of the show and over the seasons canon continually found new ways to describe them as soulmates. Although nominally set in the Greece of myth and legend, the series embraced anachronisms, borrowed liberally from myths and cultures the Greeks could have had no contact with, and joyfully mutilated geography when it sent Xena on journeys.
Xena fandom is dominated by f/f fanfiction. no doubt due to the canon's focus on the close friendship between Xena and Gabrielle. At times, the show deliberately brought the queer subtext as close to text as it could get[1] without crossing the line; at other times, the show seemed merely to be titillating the viewers with faux-lesbian scenes. Either way, the Xena/Gabrielle relationship was meaningful to a lot of people because it was the closest to showing a lesbian relationship as an epic romance that most X/G fans had ever seen on TV at the time of its original airing. (Arguably, this remains true today. While the representation of lesbians on television has improved, female action heroes with female friends, female sidekicks, and woman-centered plotlines remain rare.)

Notable Works
- Tropical Storm, an Uber novel by Melissa Good, which was later professionally published
Fanzines in Xena fandom are rare and only feature the het/gen/slash side of the force. The Xena/Gabrielle fandom went a different way with regard to print publications. Instead of zines the fandom published a high number of uber novels. These stories were usually published to the net first and when they proved popular enough, one of the small lesbian publishing houses that came out of the Xenaverse picked it up for a print run. For a list of X/G uber novels see Vielka Clavijo's listings of published Uber Xena novels.

Fan Art
Parallel evolution
Xena fandom appears to have developed in near-isolation from other fandoms, resulting in many fannish traditions being reinvented independently. The development of the Subtext FAQ, for example, is similar to the creation of The Generic Slash Defense Letter by early Blake's 7 slash fans. Specific fannish needs led to a unique vocabulary that describes concepts and activities often known in other fandoms by different terms.
Xena-specific vocabulary
- Alt
- Uber
- Bard
- Romantic friendship
- Candlemark (fanfic fanon)

A 1999 CampaignFrom the 1999 MediaWest*Con program book:
Studios USA. distributor of Xena: Warrior Princess has pulled an episode of the show, entitled The Way from worldwide syndication.
For those who haven't heard about the controversy, Renaissance Pictures, which produces Xena, created an episode using Hindu deities. This offended a group of fundamentalist Hindus called the World Vaislunava Association, formerly the International Society of Krishna Consciousness (read Hare Krishna). The group then used pressure tactics via the electronic medium of faxes and e-mail, as well as telephone calls to flood the affiliates carrying Xena. It apparently was based on these numbers that the affiliates forced Studios USA to cave in.
If you want to know more about this controversy or learn about ways to help out, I will have materials in the con suite, including a petition. I have a personal copy of the episode and Jeanne has agreed to schedule showings during the con a couple of times, more if there is any interest. Come decide for yourselves if the episode is worthy of such a ban. I think you will find it is not.Help us Xena fans out. This could easily happen to your favorite show. - Vivian Sheffield.
- Lunacy's recs site, influential on the house style of Xena fanfiction
- Whoosh!, the tongue-in-cheek International Association of Xenaoid Studies, for Xena-related meta
Xena also has several virtual seasons, including the Xena/Gabrielle XWP Subtext Virtual Seasons and the Xena/Ares Shipper Seasons.

Location & product line[edit]
Wikipedia is WP:NOT a PR outlet. All material must be supported with WP:Reliable verifiable independent sources. If an exhaustive list of rented/sold products can be found in a relevant source, that's nice, but Wikipedia is not a a PR sheet or a WP:CATALOG, and won't be used to host such exhaustive lists. It's also completely improper to delete sourced material without an WP:Edit summary or WP:Discussing in Talk. --Lexein (talk) 17:57, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
The following section has been copied from here.
I'm sitting in the Nortrax corporate office in Tampa, Florida. Visit the Nortrax web page and you can confirm that your source is wrong. http://nortrax.com/branches/?region=florida&submit=region I'm trying to properly update w/ sources however you keep correcting before I can do so. Your information and sources are incorrect. Yttrious (talk) 19:53, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for finally discussing. It's one of the WP:Five pillars of Wikipedia.
- Anybody can say they're sitting in a corporate office somewhere.
- Please read WP:Conflict of interest. You may make small, non-controversial edits, but not wholesale replacement of sections, or removal of existing cited sources. If you are in any way associated with Nortrax, you may suggest changes to the article in its Talk page.
- Read WP:Citing sources. Until reliable, verifiable, independent 3rd-party sources are provided, do not make changes to the article which remove existing sources.
- You may thank Nortrax's web designers for failing to post enough corporate information to justify your claim that Florida is host to the headquarters. Historically, it's Moline, according to sources.
- Again, due to COI, do not make changes to the article. Suggest changes in Talk. Make sure every claim made is reliably sourced by independent publications.
- --Lexein (talk) 20:13, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Due to WP:COI, do not revert edits without reliable sources. Superpages is not a reliable source. Long lists of marketing information are not permitted without reliable sources, and even then, again, Wikipedia is WP:NOT a Nortrax catalog. Finally, there is a rule called WP:3RR - further deletions on your part may result in your account being blocked. --Lexein (talk) 20:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
New building[edit]
I understand that it's frustrating that Wikipedia doesn't just let anybody say anything they want, but this is in everyone's best interest most of the time. Please keep discussing. Found this source which comes close, but still doesn't just say that Nortrax's headquarters has moved! In fact, Deere, Nortrax's majority stakeholder, is still in Moline.

Japan Bonds Fall on Stocks, Auction; 20-Year Yield at April High
Japan's bonds declined, sending 20-year yields to an eight-month high, as demand ebbed at a sale of the securities and domestic shares climbed.
The sale of 1.2 trillion yen ($14.3 billion) of 20-year bonds had the lowest demand in four months. Yields on the benchmark 10-year note rose to a one-month high as Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average reached the most since April amid signs U.S. budget talks are progressing.
"Investors are cautious in the midst of the rising yields," said Naomi Muguruma, a Tokyo-based senior fixed-income strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., one of the 25 primary dealers obliged to bid at government debt sales. "The auction results prompted selling, weighing on the market."
The 20-year rate climbed as much as three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 1.74 percent, the most since April 9, according to Japan Bond Trading Co., the nation's largest interdealer debt broker. The yield was at 1.725 percent as of 3:45 p.m. in Tokyo. The 30-year rate reached 1.99 percent, the most since April 4, before trading at 1.98 percent.
The benchmark 10-year rate climbed as much as 2 1/2 basis points to 0.76 percent, the highest level since Nov. 15, before paring to 0.755 percent.
The 20-year bonds sold today attracted bids valued at 3.11 times the amount on offer compared with a so-called bid-to-cover ratio of 3.67 in November. It was the least since the 2.38 level seen at the auction in August.
Demand for the safety of government bonds was damped after U.S. President Barack Obama was said to make concessions in negotiations to break the budget impasse.
Obama made a new budget offer that would raise taxes by $1.2 trillion and lift tax rates for households earning more than $400,000 a year, up from a previous threshold of $250,000, said a person familiar with the talks. The president and House Speaker John Boehner are negotiating to avert more than $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts set to start in January, known as the fiscal cliff.

Like a storm,
Break some hearts with some souls
Make some lose, control
Raking me over the coals

Take a look where we are

Our hearts were tied to a string
Our lost voices could sing
Thought that we had it all
Funny we learned how to fall
Shelter our eyes from the sun
All we built, came undone
Slow down, no sound running out of our way
From where ever we came
ŌĆśCuz we all have great exß╣Śectations
But canŌĆÖt forget who we are
DonŌĆÖt let it drag you down
Taking us over, taking us over
We drive ourselves to the limit
Found this place in time, but weŌĆÖll never be found

Itâs funny how taking Superman back to his late â30s roots feel so modern and refreshing, isnât it? An anti-establishment Man of Steel hunted by the United States military with Lex Luthor at the helm helped kick off the relaunched âAction Comics,â and the second issue raises the stakes with Superman strapped into an electric chair and tortured as Luthor and his team try to figure out how to actually do lasting damage to the hero. Whatâs most surprising is how entertaining that is. How easy it is to laugh it off -- for both us and Superman himself. It may be a cliché, but this isnât your dadâs Superman; itâs your (great) granddadâs and itâs rather good.
Instead of the regular jealousy angle with Lex Luthor, his arguments against Superman hold more weight in this relaunched âAction Comics.â He gets the support of the military because Superman is an alien, continually referring to the hero as âitâ and treating him like some specimen. Itâs not quite personal yet and Grant Morrison is building to that, this issue providing the first big step when Superman breaks free and physically dominates (emasculates, you could argue) Luthor. It seems a more natural way to build their rivalry/feud.
Whatâs really enjoyable about this issue is how, even after being so beaten down by Luthor and the military, when Superman escapes thereâs a playful joy to his actions. He isnât bitter or even angry; he simply wants to get free, get back his cape, and seems to enjoy smashing through the military base to accomplish those goals. Even at this young age, heâs got the wisdom to shrug off their attempts to hurt him as almost childish. Already he shows the compassion that so defines the character when it would be understandable for him to run amuck through the soldiers with little regard for their lives.
Part of the whimsical joy that Superman exhibits comes from Rags Moralesâ art. For a character thatâs just spent an indeterminate amount of time getting electrocuted, gassed with sarin, and tortured in any numbers of other ways, he sure does smile a lot. In the backmatter for this issue, Morrison mentions a twinkle in the characterâs eye that he wants to come through and it does. He looks like heâs having fun with his powers and when was the last time you can say that about Superman?
As much as Moralesâ interpretation of Superman is great, his Lex Luthor is almost the opposite. His Luthor leaves no impression; heâs a blobby cipher visually that lacks a clear, defining look aside from his lack of hair. Moralesâs art fluctuates in quality throughout the issue with some panels fully rendered and others looking like theyâre lacking in detail or refinement. Brent Andersonâs assistance helps round out the issue, but doesnât sidestep some of those messy-looking panels or pages.
For the first time in a long time, Superman is a vibrant, engaging character thanks to âAction Comics.â His core values havenât been lost, merely shifted to different targets than traditional for the character, harkening back to when the character debuted in âAction Comicsâ in the late â30s. Itâs a bold reworking of the character and, so far, itâs made for some highly entertaining comics.

This course provides a systematic movement re-education treatment approach. Concepts presented will teach you how to utilize the fundamental movement patterns of the neurodevelopmental sequence to view mobility and static/dynamic stability problems in a more isolated setting. You will learn how to identify a patient's most dysfunctional movement pattern following stroke, or any other movement disorder, and reduce that pattern into its many underlying mobilizing and stabilizing actions and reactions that constitute function. As demonstrated in the labs, movement patterns can be assisted and facilitated, corrected (with manual therapy and prescribed proprioceptively enriched therapeutic exercise), and progressed. After completion of this course, the participant will have the information needed to evaluate and treat movement dysfunction. Participants will leave this course with a safe, progressive and evidence-based approach to allow for strong therapy outcomes regardless of therapy background or treatment setting.
My experience is not limited to teaching. I'm an instructor, but also a trainer, mentor, staff developer and coach, and I can draw from all of these roles to respectfully challenge therapists' thought processes and encourage them toward prescribing treatments uniquely suited to the needs of each patient.More Instructor Info

Birthday Cakes to College Students
That care package filled with cookies or a fresh-baked cake will be loved when it arrives at your child's school, but getting it there may be trickier than you realize. Whether you're shipping a gift yourself or ordering something online, following these tips will help ensure that your gift arrives fresh and ready to share.
Learn How the School Delivers
The majority of schools have central mailing rooms that process all incoming mail, and most schools send a package notification to the students to let them know that something has arrived. Be sure to ask your child how he or she receives packages.
Know the Full Mailing Address
United Parcel Service and Federal Express will not deliver to PO Boxes, so your package needs to be addressed to the school's mail facility. The best way to address the package is to use the name of the school as a Company Name, the school's mail facility as the primary address, and your child's room number as the secondary address.
Add a Day to the Delivery Time
If you want something to arrive on your child's birthday, for example, try to get it to the school a day early. Larger schools often need an extra day to process packages, and late-afternoon deliveries almost never get to students the day they arrive on campus.
Don't Deliver on Saturday
School mailing facilities typically close on Saturday, which means your package will spend the weekend at the shipping company's warehouse. That can ruin a perishable gift.
Avoid Friday Deliveries
Your gift will be received by the school on Friday, but it might take the weekend for your child to receive notification that it has arrived, so the package is stuck in the mailing room. In general, this is less of a concern with smaller schools.
Tell Your Child That a Gift Is Coming
Package slips are sometimes delivered later than the regular mail, and package pickup at some schools closes for the day around dinnertime. You don't need to ruin the surprise, just let your child know that a package will arrive on a certain day.
Waive the Signature
If your child lives off campus or receives packages directly, be sure to waive the signature so that the delivery driver will leave it behind if no one is there. Be aware that even if you waive the signature, some delivery companies won't leave the package if they can't get into the building. In this case, the delivery driver will leave a note on the door with instructions on how to claim the package. When you order at 1-800-Bakery.com, we automatically waive the signature.
Order Ahead
If you're ordering online, take advantage of the opportunity to choose a delivery date in the future. Ordering ahead guarantees that you'll get popular items before they run out, and it gives customer service enough time to review your order and answer any questions they may have.
Provide Daytime Contact Information
Always check a site's privacy policy before giving out personal information. Reputable online retailers care about your business, and won't share your information with third parties. Having a daytime number where you can be reached can be the difference between a package that arrives on time and one that's late.
Don't Expect Delivery at a Specific Time
Some shippers will guarantee delivery by a specific time of day, but a lot can happen on the way to your student, including traffic and weather delays. If you need something somewhere by 2PM on a certain day, plan on getting the package there a day early.

A trapper in northwest Livingston County notified the Livingston County Sheriff's office Sunday of an unintended catch in one of his traps. The sportsman was intending on catching legal game such as bobcats and learned, that instead, he had a bald eagle.
Deputy Sheriff Eric Menconi and Conservation Agent Jake Strozewski responded to the call where Menconi used a jail suicide proof blanket and placed over the large eagle, which had about a 6-foot wingspan. The officers were then able to free the bird. Menconi reported the eagle appeared exhausted and uninjured.

The 2015 NFL Draft ended late Saturday in Chicago. Now that all 32 teams have finished making their picks, let's see which franchises and players fared best (and worst):
Floyd Mayweather relied on his defense to slip punches and beat Manny Pacquiao in 12 rounds via unanimous decision in their much-anticipated boxing match at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas late Saturday night.
American Pharoah beat Firing Line by a length and won the 141st Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Kentucky on Saturday. Dortmund finished third.
The NCAA men's basketball tournament field of 68 was announced on Sunday evening, meaning everyone at your office is working harder on their brackets than their real jobs today.
Malcolm Butler made a game-saving interception of a Russell Wilson pass at the goal line, and the New England Patriots held on to beat the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24, in Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Ariz. on Sunday.
Super Bowl XLIX pits the unstoppable offense of the New England Patriots against the impenetrable defense of the Seattle Seahawks. The 49th edition of the NFL's big game could be one of its most memorable contests. Here's a preview of Sunday's game:
World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner threw five scoreless innings of relief, and Michael Morse drove in the game-winning run with a bloop single as the San Francisco Giants beat the Royals, 3-2, in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series in Kansas City on Wednesday night.
Eli Manning threw four touchdown passes and ran in another score, and the New York Giants routed the Washington Redskins, 45-14, in Landover, Md. on Thursday night.
California Chrome won the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville on Saturday.
After four exciting days of college basketball, the 68-team field of the 2014 NCAA men's basketball tournament has been reduced to just 16 schools. Here are five things we learned from the tournament's first weekend:

Church of Scientology Trashes Seattle Neighborhood
On my run this morning, I noticed hundreds and hundreds of these fliers under wiper blades along 16th Ave. on Capitol Hill. There were also hundreds of a pink folded Scientology flyer under wipers on Federal, but I didn't hang on to one of those—still had too far to go to carry that garbage with me.
Dianetics reveals the single source of all of your unhappiness, overwhlem [sic] and self-doubt, and shows you how to get rid of it.
Notice that the word Scientology is only in the tiny, tiny, illegible print, and they make no mention of the idea that the single source of unhappiness they speak of is your body's brain-washed alien soul infestation.
Perhaps it should read:
Today we have conquered the stars… So, why can't you get rid of the dead aliens living in your blood?
Also note that the email address of the Seattle Scientology mission is email@example.com. For some reason, this multi-billion-dollar global cult can't manage to give its chapters their own domain names? Lame.

There's Nothing Innocent About by inklouWatch
Perhaps Dean and Sam Winchester have a better hand at dealing with shit like these lol
A huge high five for those who recognize this character through a wave of nostalgia because they were scared shitless watching this when they were young
I first watched Child's Play when I was 4 (yeah I know, it couldn't get any worse) and regarded Chucky as the scariest thing to ever show its face on earth. I guess I have a really strange relationship with this movie because it is both nostalgic and bittersweet to reflect back on, but at the same time Chucky's face is drilled deep into my brain so hauntingly I don't think I'll ever completely forget it xD Though by 'haunting' I probably meant in terms of its existence and less about it actually scaring me every now and then. Because I have known this character for so long now, it's as if he's a building block of my childhood ROFL so yeah. Neighbours.
Now I am so excited since I JUST heard that this series could be adapted into a remake and be released around 2012/13 (yes I know I'm slow |||OTL)
Child's Play theme song! [link] It is actually a very beautiful piece and not creepy at all FFFFF I barely remembered the movie ever having a theme though since I watched it so long ago ;___;
Sherlock (c) BBC
Child's Play (c) Tom Holland/director
And that's about in short summary how my picture viewing went before I nearly jumped. Creepy efficient. Chucky would have had jump on me easily.... *shutter*
The story of how I dound this picture:
Last night I watched a Watchmojo video at night in my bedroom with the lights off. The video was entitled "Top 10 Movies You Have to Watch Twice", or something along the lines of that. Among the several horror movies the video included Donnie Darko, The Sixth Sense, and Fight Club. For someone who was freaked out by Coraline this was the worst decision imaginable for me at night. This morning I woke up, worked for a while, made lunch, and continued working. Then I decided to procrastinate.
And then I found this picture.
After being initially terrified I found these past twenty four hours nothing short of amusing. Still, this picture is incredibly well done and thankfully, I decided to look at it in the daytime so I can appreciate it better and the fear factor is lower.
Good job and thank you for making this scary ride worthwhile
I can never forget how absolutely terrified I was as a child after seeing this. I watched the movie, got scared shitless, my parents mocked me so I decided to show them that I wasn't affected by staying calm and indifferent when the topic arose for a few days. I slept fine with no nightmares, went upstairs by myself, eventually they let it go. I only managed because of one simple thought, "Chucky doesn't know me, so there's no chance he'll ever find me". The next time we went to the shopping centre, my sister and I passed by a comic store that sold models from movies and there on display was a very realistic Chucky. I stood frozen for a few seconds before silently continuing. For the next few months, the horrible image was engraved in my head of that doll crawling its way into my room, following me, every shadow was Chucky.
So thank you for that friendly reminder <3
I literally jumped in my seat a bit.
I've never seen the movie, but this is very creepy/ awesome, so I might have to...
But then again, I don't want to develop a fear of dolls.
Great piece though!
Someone please write a fic about this!!!
I think it's hilarious that you watched this when you were four.
what a great idea! xD
i like Sherlocks little dialogue....
My mother has a female doll from when she was a child that now looks HELL CREEPY, which she likes to hide in our cupboards randomly... -_- fml
This movie creeped me out! Ahaha, psycho doll. Can't ever forget this.
Yes, call the Winchesters.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
When studying in Jordan last fall, I was stunned by the silence around sexual violence experienced by women in Syrian refugee camps. In Arab communities, where social stigma and family honor carry huge weight, consequences of sexual violence extend far beyond scarring psychological trauma to fear of alienation and even honor killing.
Syria's Forgotten Civilians
As atrocities committed by the self-declared Islamic State (IS), also called ISIS or ISIL, dominate media headlines, we must not forget the civilians who have been suffering since long before IS gained a stronghold in parts of Syria and Iraq.
What Did President Obama Leave Out of His Speech on the Islamic State?
On the same turf that IS operates other actors are committing mass atrocities, while enjoying full impunity.
While Syria Burns
I had mixed emotions about the latest "good news" on humanitarian aid in Syria. The U.N. Security Council has passed a long overdue resolution that -- if implemented -- will save the lives of Syrians trapped in desperate circumstances by the war.
Attacking Health Care: A Common Denominator in Conflict
Last week, Human Rights Watch reported that the Iraqi government repeatedly targeted and attacked Fallujah General Hospital in Anbar province. Fallujah is a pivotal city in Sunni-majority Anbar province, which has long accused the Shia-dominated central government of persecution.

Disgaea 4 looking swish in new 6-minute trailer
Nippon Ichi's released a long trailer of Disgaea 4, showing off the long-running TRPG's latest take on the Netherworld ahead of the game's February launch in Japan.
Get the video over on RPGsite.
The game tells the story of Valbatoze (a vampire boy), Fenrich (a boy with wolf-like traits), and Fuuka (a girl with a Prinny-themed school uniform, and will be getting an English localisation in the form of a US version this summer.
Apparently, the game has a political theme. While aspects of Netherworld politics – like bribing senators – existed in previous games, it's the central focus of the story and gameplay in Disgaea 4.
There's no word yet on this making it to Europe.

Haley finds out that Belkar can be a little uncontrollable.
Cast Edit
Haley, Vaarsuvius, Belkar, and two bandits
Transcript Edit
- Panel 1
Haley: Wow, this camp is pretty well guarded. I don't know how we'll get in.
- Panel 2
Belkar: What we need is a distraction. Why don't I knock this torch over and set one of the tents on fire.
Haley: I don't think so, Belkar.
- Panel 3
Haley: V, are you still invisible?
Vaarsuvius: Can you see me?
Haley: No.
Vaarsuvius: Then I suppose that answers your question.
- Panel 4
Haley: V, try to walk by those guards. See if they notice you at all.
Vaarsuvius: As you command.
- Panel 5
Belkar: What would really help is a distraction. Let's set a tent on fire.
Haley: No, Belkar.
- Panel 6
Vaarsuvius: I have returned.
Vaarsuvius: They seemed to be incapable of discerning my invisible form.
Haley: Perfect. Then here's the plan--
Belkar: Set a tent on fire?
- Panel 7
Haley: NO! For the last time, Belkar, we are NOT setting a tent on fire! We're trying to sneak in without letting them know anything is wrong, so no, no, NO fires!
- Panel 8
Belkar holds a torch.
- Panel 9
Belkar sets a tent on fire.
Belkar: Screw it.
- Panel 10
Bandit: Look! Intruders!
- Panel 11
Vaarsuvius, Haley, and Belkar flee amidst a hail of arrows.
Haley: Don't worry about outrunning the bandits -- worry about outrunning ME!
Belkar: See, now, if you'd shown me that sort of discipline a minute ago, we wouldn't be in this situation!

Yoga Helps Veterans
We love our veterans and thank them for their service. Not all veterans served in a war, but those who did—whether they saw action in World War II, the Vietnam War, Iraq or Afghanistan—changed. It's no secret that many of our military still suffer from the invisible, psychological scars of war after being deployed. Many also return home with physical challenges. All have been altered in some way. And they need help.
Yoga and Trauma: Letting the Light Shine In
At the ripe ol' age of 20, I wandered into my first yoga class at the Equinox gym on 19th and Broadway in New York City.
I was attending college nearby and two roommates convinced me to go with them. Although I can barely recall the teacher and the actual class, I do remember how my body felt the next day. I had sore muscles in places that I'd didn't even know I had muscles! Aside from a more peaceful sense of being, I loved that I could finally connect with my physical body in a way I'd not known since being an avid swimmer in grade school.
Although some people may measure the 'greatness' of a yoga class by the amount of sweat pouring from their body or the number of times they can leap into a handstand, I have found the value of a class far exceeds these physical feats. The deeper 'pearls' of wisdom to be gained from yoga are available to all practitioners — not just the superhuman ones!

I deactivated the plugin. Then I wanted to again activate, but I can not. It occurs to me: "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."
I turned off all other plugins. The problem remains.
I do not even want to think about deleting the old and install the new plugin installation. I do not know whether the new installation help solve the problem.
I'm afraid I do not lose my settings.
What to do?

I am curious to know if all the emails sent via WordPress (in this case it is through the plugin that uses WordPress to send the email - FS Contact Form or SI Contact Form) are stored somewhere in the Database without using an additional plugin.
My client gave me an invalid email address to use for the form, plus they did not set up their catchall correctly, so I'm hoping to find a log of any emails sent via WordPress' built in function. I've pulled the DB but I can't seem to find it here.
If anyone has any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

"These are my 3rd and 4th Eldorados. I hit a deer about 3 months ago and started shopping the next day. Found a 95 with 35,000 mi. I got in and it still smelled new. They are sweet rides. I will keep my 94 and drive the wheels off that. In its condition, the trade in was only $500. I would tell folks not to buy them only so there are more available when I need to buy my nest one."

"My 1998 Cadillac Edlorado ETC is my 3rd Cadillac. I really liked the design back in '93' and wanted one ever since. .....Found this Beautiful Eldorado when it came off Lease and have enjoyed this fine automobile ever since. You can't miss the aerodynamic styling when you see her and the beautifully curved dash has always been my favorite. I really like the rare wood trim on the interior and the BOSE stereo with the 10 CD changer in the rear. I upgraded with an AUX input and can play MP3's, MiniDiscs, Even USB music through a netBook cpu. The Boise takes that sound and makes it sound like a concert. The ride is very good thanks to the high tech suspension and the NORTHSTAR engine makes her a powerful contender. .... The Northstar engine is one of the most powerful power plants I have owned. Being built into the Elorado ETC created a car with get Up and GO. PLENTY of power to pass cars on the highway and the occasional "other brand" large engine sports cars... After all these years, she still holds her own. .....She is an eye catcher and even the dealership says she is a beautiful car. ..... The only problem I have ever had was a plastic connector on the suspension for the ride control cpu had broken and I had a light on the dash for repair. The part is rediculously priced and not available but a mechanic had a used on in his tool box. I forsee having to mold them in the future to keep systems working. .....The NORTHSTAR has been trouble free so far, however there is chatter of the headgasket possibly being a fault of the Northstar in general and is an expensive repair. ... All told, this 1998 Cadillac Eldorado ETC has been an amazing vehicle and I absolutely enjoy the ride as I travel along the highway with that sound system.. This is one of my most favorite automobiles that I have owned. When compared to the other cars I own / have owned, though some of them were fun cars to drive, none of them can compare to the Eldorado ETC."

"I love my 1998 Cadillac Eldorado ETC, the Northstar's 300 HP is very impressive; able to hold it's own and then some. This was the top of the line Cadillac's with all of the creature comforts of cars ten years newer. She takes Premium fuel, but averaging 17 MPG...and I don't hold back =) Another fun requirement of owning a Northstar is performing the W. O . T. exercise...on ramps and frontage roads; in second gear take her up to 80 MPH and let off the gas leaving the load of the engine drag your speed back down to 20-30 MPH...rinse & repeat to burn the carbon from your heads. Expensive car to maintain and repair if you don't do your own wrenching...I think of her as my newer muscle car!"

We were at BRU today to get some wipes. Hubby and LO were off at the toy section while I trolled the sales racks. I suddenly hear my child screaming bloody murder. I drop the outfits I am pondering and take off like a bat-outta-hell across the store thinking that he fell out of the cart or something horrible.
I find a crowd around the toy isle where the horrible sound is coming from... my husband is standing in the middle of the isle laughing so hard that tears are streaming down his face. LO is hiding around the edge of the isle screaming hysterically with tears running down his face. Apparently, my husband was showing him various toys on the shelf when a giggling Elmo scared the crap out of LO.
After getting LO calmed down in the clothing racks, we tried to desensatize him to a small non-sound making Elmo. He came completely unglued but not a bloody murder scream... let's just say that evil puppet will not step foot in our house any time soon.

The most constant early symptom of pulmonary oxygen toxicity in normal volunteers is substernal distress, which usually develops between the 12th and 16th hours. This suggests that oxygen breathing might produce an acute tracheobronchitis. The following measurements were done in 10 normal volunteers breathing 90% to 95% oxygen to detect this possibility: [1] bronchofiberscopic observations of the trachea, [2] estimation of tracheal mucous velocity, and [3] pulmonary function tests. Endoscopic evidence of tracheitis was present in all subjects at the end of 6 hours of breathing oxygen. Tracheal mucous velocity was depressed as early as 3 hours after oxygen breathing and was the most sensitive indicator of oxygen-induced tracheitis. Administration of terbutaline, a beta adrenergic stimulant, restored tracheal mucous velocity to control levels by increasing the proportion of faster moving mucous pathways.

MNFashion Week: Crosswalk Fashion Show
If you're tired of runway looks that are impossible to pull off on the mean streets of Minneapolis, you won't have any gripes about the Crosswalk Fashion Show. Masquerading as a fun shopping experience, the show begins inside Cliché. Models will parade collections by local designers Tender Cuts, Kathryn V, and Nikki English. But soon thereafter, the event takes a turn and abruptly moves past the crowds and onto the streets, attempting to cause a stir at the crosswalks of 24th Street and Lyndale Avenue in the Wedge neighborhood. It's at this point that rubbernecking drivers, high-fashion models, and pseudo-paparazzi turn the intersection into a spontaneous spectacle. This isn't Cliché's first crosswalk rodeo; they pulled together a street fashion runway earlier this summer as a quirky, interactive spin on traditional fashion shows. Admission is free and during the event all merchandise is 10 percent off. Complimentary wine and cheese will be provided.

Zero Dark Thirty

Critic Reviews

- By date
By showing scenes of torture without taking any kind of moral (as opposed to tactical) stand on what we are seeing, Bigelow has made an amoral movie – which is, I would argue, an unconscionable approach to this material.
As a realistic political thriller about Americans in harm's way it is not half as suspenseful or entertaining as "Argo." We may never know the truth about how we found bin Laden, but I still believe what we do know makes a strong enough story on its own without Wonder Woman.

Just because something compelling happened in real life doesn't mean it makes for a good movie. For the life of me I can't understand the critical acclaim here. Nothing in this movie feels believable, first and foremost Chastain's performance. She is miscast, shrill, and has no gravitas. I didn't believe for one second she was a "tough" high level CIA analyst. Most performances in general felt off and even the amazing Kyle Chandler was reduced to cliche. The movie feels cheap and shallow. There is zero character development, everything feels easy, the torture scenes are gratuitous, and then James Gandolfini comes bobbling in as Leon Pannetta? Although Homeland on Showtime has far-fetched plot lines, it is a thousand times more compelling and a million times better acted. Just don't get at all what the fuss is. And almost three hours.

However it is amazing how quickly people forget that theThe hollywood sycophants are already drooling all over the movie, hence the ratings. However it is amazing how quickly people forget that the creators betrayed the soldiers they were embedded with, while researching 'The Hurt Locker'. The soldiers portrayed in the movie behaved nothing like real soldiers - the creators claimed artistic license while dishonoring those who were kind enough to allow the civilians an unvarnished view into their world.
This movie is much the same, again with Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal cashing in on the lives of those who give so much, so the rest of us may live out our lives in a safer world. Critics and audiences will rave over this movie because it is "real and gritty" - despite the fact they are lucky enough to know nothing about the world the movie claims to portray. This movie is nothing more than a sycophantic attempt by media liberals to burnish President Obama's image, while cashing in on the hard work and sacrifices of those who put their lives on the line for the rest of us. hollywood, Kathryn and Mark should be ashamed. The least they could've done is give an accurate portrayal of what happened.… Full Review »

Whatever, just my two cents on user reviews. ---- As for the movie, I felt like giving it a 4, but that's mostly because my expectations were let down. I'm not sure what the recent love affair with Kathryn Bigelow is all about? ZDT is far from extraordinary. Everything about this movie (script, acting, direction, cinematography--everything) is smart, faultless, and safe. As such, it's hard to say anything bad about the film, yet, that's exactly why it fails to stand out. It evokes no emotion and little controversy over such a controversial topic--it's moot art. ...now I'll go read the reviews to see why I'm wrong.… Full Review »

Confused by the Madison? Bemused by the scratch race? Here's CW's essential guide to track cycling disciplines
Track racing can seem confusing – particularly for fans just getting interested – so here's Cycling Weekly's handy guide. If you have not paid attention to track racing before now, this is a perfect chance to get acquainted.
Read on to find out how each race works and what the peculiar rules are. Maybe we'll even help you understand the Madison…
Matches are contested between two riders who cover three laps of the track. The first rider over the line wins the race, best of three races wins the match. The top 16 riders qualify for the knockout stages with a flying 200-metre time trial.
Tactics play a huge part in the sprint racing. Track stands – where the riders come to a standstill in a bid to get their rival to the front to lead out the sprint – are common, as are sudden turns of speed.
The match sprint is one rider against another, first person across the line wins
This used to be known as the Olympic Sprint before the name was changed to ease confusion. The team sprint sees a team of three riders race against each other over three laps of the track. The first rider gets the trio out of the start gate and up to speed before peeling off after a lap.
The leading rider must complete a lap and swing up in a designated zone 15 metres either side of the finish line. The second rider takes over the pace for the middle lap before the third rider finishes off.
The quickest team over the three laps wins. One false start is allowed but the team must get away cleanly at the second attempt. Last year saw the debut of the women's team sprint, with pairs of competitors racing.
The team sprint is one of the most explosive events on the track
This is the one with the motor bike – called a Derny – that paces a field of up to seven riders (though typically six in championship finals) round the track. The Derny leads the field for the first 1,400 metres taking the speed from 30 kilometres per hour up to 50 kilometres per hour (25kph to 40kph for women), before peeling off and leaving the riders to sprint it out.
No one is allowed to go in front of the Derny as the riders battle for position before the sprint starts in earnest. Keirin racing is very popular in Japan, as popular as horse racing in Britain.
Riders line up behind the derny, that takes them up to speed. The sprint starts with 2.5 laps to go
TIME TRIALS (Men 1km, women 500m)
The simplest, purest track race – which makes it all the more baffling why the UCI decided to eliminate it from the Olympic programme when asked to drop an event to make way for BMX.
The time trials continue as World Cup and World Championship events but with the sprinters focusing on the sprint and Keirin races – which are Olympic disciplines – instead, it's lost its lustre. The riders start individually and the quickest rider over one kilometre (men) and 500 metres (women) is the winner.
Time Trial
The men race over 4,000 metres, women over 3,000. In qualifying each rider covers the distance alone and is timed – very much like a time trial. The best finishers are then seeded and take part in a knock-out for the medals, starting on opposite sides of the track.
The fastest two riders compete for gold, the third and fourth quickest go for bronze. If one rider catches an other, he or she automatically the winner, otherwise results are decided by times.
Individual pursuiters will have a coach track side, 'walking the line'
Exactly the same theory as the individual race but with teams of four riders, each sharing the pace-making before swinging up the banking and settling in at the back of the line.
The team's time is taken on the third rider across the line. The women's team pursuit made its debut as a World Championship event at Manchester in March over 3,000 metres for three riders.
This is a mass-start race. Qualifying tends to be over 15km, finals usually 30km or 40km. Intermediate sprints are held every ten laps, with five, three, two and one point on offer to the first four over the line.
If a rider laps the field he gains 20 points. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins with the finishing sprint only counting if riders are tied on points. Speed, concentration, endurance and tactical sense are all important for a good points race rider.
Points race
Introduced to the World Cup and World Championship programmes in 2002, it's not an Olympic race but it is an exciting, mass-start all-out race.
If no riders gain a lap during the race it comes down to a bunch sprint. The men race over 15km the women over 10km.
Scratch race
The most complex but absorbing race on the track. Named after Madison Square Garden in New York where it was first made popular. Teams of two riders compete together to score points at the intermediate sprints, held every 20 laps, (5pts, 3pts, 2pts, 1pt to the first four), and gain laps by attacking.
One member of each team is 'in the race' at any one time, while the other circles at the top of the banking. The riders switch over to give each other a rest – or perhaps to put the better sprinter in as a sprint lap approaches.
The rider must touch his team-mate to change over but usually this is done with a hand-sling to propel the other into the race. The team that covers the most laps wins, with points only counting to separate riders who finish on the same number of laps.

The Omnium is a multi-discipline event introduced in the 2010 World Championships. The omnium consists of six disciplines: a 250-metre time flying lap time trial, a 40km points race (25km for women), a 4km pursuit (3km for women), a 15km scratch race (10km for women) and a kilometre time trial (500 metres for women) and an elimination race.
Riders are awarded points depending on their finishing position in the first five rounds, which they they take into the final points race.
During the points race, riders accrue more points – or drop points if they lose a lap. The omnium was introduced for the first time in an Olympic Games at London 2012.
Laura Trott is the undisputed queen of the omnium

Those who love the fun and mild camp of an earlier era in big boob smut will enjoy this tape.
Ah, for the glorious innocence of big boob porn from the "classic" era. Even when the performers aren't as picture perfect as we've come to expect these days, there's something sexy and contagious about the obvious enthusiasm and just plain fun of the performers on this tape.
Sally and Randy, two big titted and softly plump women, rub oil on one another and then use a couch as their Sapphic base of operations. Pretty and plentiful Candy Kane and femme-friend Randy titty fuck a couple of lucky stiffs, a series of pretty black women shake their boobs, Miss Twin Towers (a hot, zaftig black mama) dances in a white lace teddy before sucking on two appreciative studs, and then an '80s style Flashdance-inspired babe with enormous jugs dances and enjoys a dildo ride. Ah, those were the days.
