I was worried the holes and connections may pinch my skin or even cut me - I was used to the one piece pole from the studio- but its actually very smooth and, best of all, sturdy for at home use. My husband assembled it for me and he said that the instructions from the booklet had too much information, so he ended up looking at the youtube video and got it up in no time.
I got the static/spin one so you do have to be careful when you switch to spin as the screws (or whatever they are called) can cut you if you unscrew it too much.

Bought the x pole because I wanted to start pole fitness and wanted something at home to practice on. I wasn't sure how into it I would be so opted for the static pole. I ended up loving it and will definitely invest in a spinning pole once I get better. I chose the gold titanium finish for better grip and 45mm because I have small hands and its been a great fit.

Very happy with my x-pole! The pole came quickly (approx 6 business days from order to delivery in Sudbury ON). The pole I received had some problems with some of the components but the Pole Dancing Shop helped me to get in touch with the supplier and replacements were sent to me and delivered within a few business days. Great service!

I absolutely love my pole! I am on it everyday!

I love the pole, ordering and shipping were not very long, I emailed once to inquire about when I'd get it and they responded promptly.
The pole is very sturdy and is very good quality as well as looks amazing, I'm so excited to use it.

I ordered my pole on a wednesday, by monday morning it was here. Im in toronto canada and it took no time at all !
It took me some time to set it up the first time but now its easy..
Its really amazing !! Ive been working out on it and im already seeing changes :) i cant do flips yet but im getting there :)
This thing is a GREAT invention ! Lol
Love the X-pole And the fact that i can bring it to my friends house or carry it in my car.. SO happy !!
My friend told me a trick to grip better is to use hair spray. I sprayed a big thick layer on it and it works very well. Illl probably order the grip product from this site soon tho :)
Posted by lydia on 21st Mar 2013
I was skeptical to order from the us but my pole was here in less than a week from my order date and I'm already going mad with pole fever!!!! From one die hard to another, I wouldn't order any of my pole products and accessories from anywhere else.
Posted by F on 6th Mar 2013
Lovin' it! Bought the 45mm a few weeks ago. Shipping for the pole was quite fast but I had ordered other product (mighty grip) and it shipped separately and I received it later on.
The pole is great! It is build really sturdy and it looks so good. It's quite heavy actually so if you plan on carrying it around you'll have to work your muscles. It is also easy to install but it requires precision to line it up with your support beam and to level it and that's probably what takes the longest. I was planning on moving it around a lot but realistically that will not happen.

i had been researching poles and other things for some time, including asking my instructor about which ones are best ... i wanted something portable, easy to take down and put up and i was NOT disappointed!!!! i was able to put up this pole by myself and i've used it several times since and it is solid ... i feel just as safe on it at home as i do on the ones in class ... AMAZING!!!!
Posted by Kat on 24th Jan 2013
I ordered the static & spinning pole on Sat. Jan. 18, it was shipped out on Wed. Jan. 23, and it arrived the next day! SUPER FAST shipping! I thought it wouldn't arrive for about two weeks. The instruction manuel was a bit confusing, however, once that was understood, putting the pole together was easy. I would recommend anyone who is putting the pole together the first time, to have another person there with you to make it easier and faster to set up. Overall, great company and I would recommend anyone who is thinking of purchasing from this website, to do so! My pole fitness class uses X-Pole and I'm very happy I purchased the same brand. Can't wait to use my pole and exercise at home!

This pole was really easy to ensemble and it is ver sturdy. I love it!!! The only thing I could use some advice on is, how do I stop it from being so slippery? My last pole wasn't chrome and there is a huge difference. I can't do anything without my hands and legs sliding!!!
Posted by Unknown on 12th Jan 2013
I bought the 45mm chrome xpole. Installation was easy except it did not come with material for the bottom. My last pole that i bought from this site had like a rubber you put around the bottom to protect our feet. Shipping was fast and the site offers many other great products! I wish they sold big mirrors so i. Can place around my living room.

Thank you for all reviews, i made up my minds to purchased from this website,
Posted by Beka on 9th Aug 2011
This pole is awesome. Even after reading how solid it was i really wasnt too trusting. I will tell you that the pole doesnt move. You can feel very safe if installed properly. Btw watch the video on youtube for install. The written is kinda confusing. Enjoy!

X-Pole Canada is the best purchase I have ever made. It is sturdy. So easy to put up and down. I couldn't believe how heavy it was when it arrived. This pole is serious business. I am so impressed with x-pole's design! I love how safe I feel when attempting even the most difficult of moves. And when it is up, it's hard to even believe it is removable! I think X-Pole should be in homes all over the world!
Posted by Sara on 4th Mar 2011
I bought this X-Pole after having taken pole dancing classes for several months, it was a great choice, I love my pole! The X-Pole is very simple to set up and can be moved easily without making any holes in the ground or ceiling. It is a very sturdy pole and I never have to worry about it's stability. I also love the fact that it can easily be set to static or spinning mode. This is my favorite piece of workout equipment, I'm so glad I made this purchase!!
Posted by Darlia on 21st Dec 2009
I love it, the pole is so strong, and looks beautiful...
Posted by enrgist on 10th Dec 2009
The versatility alone makes this pole incomparable. For those who like options. You have found it here. As a dance pole, it IS dependable and sturdy. For those sporting rigorous movement this pole will support you! I speak from experience - I have taken a few poles down mid performance. Also, X pole comes complete with the tools you need to put it together. (Though you'll need a measuring tape, studfinder, leveler and additional release tools) Concerned about your furnishings? X pole will not leave a mark! It has a rubber ring both on top/bottom preventing the metal from scraping surfaces. Which brings me to the portable option of X Pole, up or down, you can move the pole according to your needs. Want to take it to go? Pole sufficiently comes apart in manageable pieces, along with carrying case for optimum transportation. It's two poles in one. You can change the pole from static or spinning with just a simple tightening/loosening of screws. Which reminds me, for ladies considering this option you don't need to be "handy saavy" to install.. tho you'll need a helper. Frankly, X Pole is genius.. an engineer would agree. Personally, I'm eyeing the X Pole stage. (A stage pole requiring no weights – tell me more!)

2014 Golden Globes Winners!
The 2014 Golden Globes winners will be revealed during the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler-hosted awards ceremony, broadcast live Sunday, Jan. 12th at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on NBC.
The 2014 Golden Globes winners will be revealed during the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler-hosted awards ceremony, broadcast live Sunday, Jan. 12th at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on NBC.
Amy Poehler turned on the sass -- and we're not sure if she was kidding or not -- in a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter promoting her and Tina Fey's return as Golden Globes hosts this Sunday, Jan. 12.
Don't freak out! I didn't say that Justin Bieber WAS taking Paul Walker's place in Fast and Furious 7, but the question HAS been asked.
This year's YouTube Rewind came out mere hours before this was written and is already nearing 1,000,000 views. That's insanity, until you realize after watching the entire YouTube Rewind 2013, once, twice and then three times, that it's pure awesomeness!
Hmmm... Snooki should be so lucky as to compare herself to the mighty Miley Cyrus. As if she's such a paragon of virtue now.
Ah, the Kardashians. For all intents and purposes, they're pretty much America's royal family. No one is in the tabloids more often and I'm pretty sure when people think of America from across the pond, the Kardashians are synonymous with all things American.
Either way, when the annual Kardashian Family Christmas Card is released, it's a big deal. And of course, this year's Christmas card is fabulous!
Turns out, people aren't real happy with The Voice this morning after last night's episode where they dropped the word 'Lord' and replaced it with the word 'Oh' when the final eight contestants along with the Starbucks chorus performed the popular church song 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken?' by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
You might have missed them at this concert in Houston this summer but don't worry -- the boys of One Direction are making their way back to the Lone Star State.
Is that what I sound like? This is going to be the most epic movie of all time. The only thing better than 'Anchorman' will be 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues'.
They made the movie right here in Nacogdoches back in 2012 on location at SFA and a local farm. There will be a free public screening of The Rise Of The Robots Wednesday November 20, 2013 at 7:30 pm at the SFASU Student Center's Movie Theater.
Here we are a full week after Halloween, and your kids pumpkin full of candy is calling your name. The thoughts of fun sized candy bars and ripping open tiny packs of fruit chews one after the other. But what would your kids do if you actually did this?

DENTON, Texas (7/21/08) Former North Texas golfers Brad Gibson and Anthony Broussard cashed and had top 20 finishes at the 38th Texas State Open at The Cascades. Gibson finished in 11th place while Broussard, playing in his first tournament as a professional, placed 17th.

I would like to intelligently route packets in MacOS X. I have a Wifi and Ethernet connection. Ethernet connection is high speed but extremely unreliable for outside connectivity. Wifi is from a mobile device and slow. I cannot make the ethernet connection better as it is out of my hand. If possible I would love some sort of failover packet routing. If main internet connection cannot reach internet (for example a public IP) then it should failover to secondary connection from Wifi. In the case the Ethernet is working fine again it should make the routing from ethernet.
Note that Ethernet connection does not go down, the outside connectivity goes down. Right now as far as Mac is concerned it should route outside packets to Ethernet The network service order does not work in this condition.

NYPD Cop Won't Be Charged for Shooting Unarmed Teen After All, As Usual
A grand jury decided not to indict the officer who killed Ramarley Graham.
A New York City grand jury decided yesterday not to reindict the NYPD officer who killed 18-year-old Ramarley Graham at home while the teenager tried to flush some weed down the toilet. Richard Haste, the cop, was initially charged with manslaughter, but a judge tossed the indictment because prosecutors mistakenly told jurors to disregard whether Haste was informed by other officers by radio that Graham was armed. (He was not.) The second time around, the Bronx grand jury opted to let Haste walk. An active NYPD officer has not faced criminal charges for a fatal shooting since 2006.
"I was just informed that 'Murderer' Richard Haste will NOT BE RE-INDICTED," the teenager's mother, Constance Malcolm, wrote on Facebook. "I cannot believe the system is allowing Richard Haste who KILLED MY SON in the bathroom of his own home to go home to his family and [be] able to look into their faces and smile." A lawyer for Graham's family called the ruling "a punch in the gut."
Haste's lawyer said, "It's gratifying to know a police officer can get a fair shot in a Bronx grand jury," which was maybe not the best choice of words.

You'd never know from the inspired title, but it's actually a sequel to the film Red, which was something of a sleeper hit, and not just because it starred actors old enough to go narcoleptic mid-interview.

Released: May 01st, 2006
Running Time: 85
Company: Xplore Media Group
Cast: Will (I), Lincoln (I), Carmen (I), Brianna Beach, Seth Dickens, Estella Leon, Girth Brooks (I), Matt (I), Chef Jeff, Tabitha (II), Tyler (I), Eli Thomas, Brianna Bow, Ayla, Austin (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Pro-Am
This release from Xplor Media continues the amateur trend established by online mega-house homegrownvideo.com. Eight scenes from 16 reasonable unknowns make this DVD a hefty package, albeit the handjob is fairly limited and small in its overall place in the sexual scope. Be that as it may (and is), most of the talent goes topless, and a few select sweethearts bare all.
Foreign-sounding Carmen is the video's cutest beauty, while foxy Tyler – clad bottomless in a blue bandana – lets her feet peel a huge banana!
The transfers are sharp, and the audio has little ambient noise to distract the listener. Extras clock over half an hour; there's even a short bonus segment of vaginal sex complete with cream pie dessert. And big ups to Brianna Bow's partner, Girth Brooks, for having one of the best porn names ever!
Retailing: A plethora of unknown girls lend a hand.

Skip to comments.MSNBC.com Pushes Wendy Davis Strategy to Become Texas Governor
Posted on 10/31/2013 11:22:02 AM PDT by Kaslin
Ever since Texas State Senator Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) engaged in an 18-hour filibuster to protest new abortion safety measures, the folks at MSNBC have taken it upon themselves to act as her unofficial campaign for governor. Apart from the numerous on-air segments pushing Ms. Davis candidacy, the new MSNBC.com website has followed suit in a new puff piece entitled How Wendy Davis can win.
Author Zachary Roth penned a 23-paragraph article which serves more as a memo for Democratic strategists than an actual informative piece of journalism. Peppered with quotes from Democratic strategists, the MSNBC national reporter argues that Davis has a chance to instead put together a cross-racial coalition that brings together minorities and liberal or moderate whitesespecially women.
Despite Roth admitting in the very first paragraph that anything Davis tries to do to win in 2014 will be too late to help Wendy Davis bud for governor next year that doesnt stop the MSNBCer from giving his liberal readers some wishful thinking about how a Wendy Davis victory would happen. After arguing that Ms. Davis must follow the steps of President Obamas 2008 campaign, Roth then turned to MSNBCs favorite subject, abortion, to discuss why he wants Wendy Davis to be governor.
Rothed quoted Jim Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas, to push the idea that Its not about abortion. Its about men bullying them and closing clinics where they get healthcare. Roth then doubled down on his pro-Davis sentiments, quoting yet another liberal, this time Democratic strategist Matt Angle to comment that, Its not just a matter of Wendy Davis appealing to women voters, its Greg Abbott and other Republicans really alienating women voters. So in terms of getting an increased Anglo vote, you get a lot of otherwise independent women willing to vote for a mainstream Democrat.
A mainstream Democrat at MSNBC is someone that stands up for 18-hours arguing for the right to kill a baby late in pregnancy and to oppose sensible regulations on abortion clinics? No wonder Zachary Roth thinks Wendy Davis should be the next governor of Texas.
Did you expect them to want Sarah Palin in that spot?
The "Kill Your Unborn Baby" candidate!!
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth)
You mean Abortion Barbie...
If the Texas GOP has any sense at all, they will bombard her with pictures and stories from the Gosnell trial and make her try to defend them.
If "Abortion Barbie" can actually win or even come close to winning in Texas then this country and the Republican party are truly finished....
Molly Ringwald thinks Windy ought to be Governor of Houston:
@MollyRingwald 12h
Support this woman. The next governor of Houston, Texas.
#wendydavis #weneedwomenlikethese
She's a gift from heaven.
Abortion Barbie will suck up lots of national money in a guaranteed losing cause.
Yes that bitch
She's still around? What do the guys from CHiPs think, or Tonya Harding? Anyone polled the Banana Splits?
Molly Ringwald is obviously a twit
The next governor of Houston, Texas.
The stupid is large in this one.
Ssssshhhh...Molly knows that you have to be a citizen of Houston to vote for Davis.
Is it still news that the media and the Democrat Party are joined at the hip?
Hope they don't expect to do any ballot box stuffing. Voter ID laws are in place in Texas.
The Black Panthers can sit this one out because voter intimidation at the polls is NOT tolerated in Texas.
Filthy democrats are mostly in the large cities, but Texas is a large State, with lots of people living the "small town" life - it is the rural areas that rule this State.
Hey nothing says a good Governor than someone who loves murdering babies..Wendy Davis, the poster child for what is wrong with the left
Molly Ringwald is still alive? I thought she OD'd years ago.
Wow, they are very, very afraid of Ted.
They know he speaks the truth.
They cannot handle the truth.
I hope they send Special Ed to Texas to campaign for her. Texans would give him some "Love".
So of the 150 people who watch PMSNBC, how many do you think live in Texas?
Its odd.
I live an work in Fort Worth and cannot find a soul who voted for her.
I looked up her Texas Senate elections.
Her two wins were with 49 and 51 percent of the vote.
Appears she's not quite the formidable candidate the MSM is trying to sell to America.
I lived in Alabama before moving here and its Redder here than Alabama.
Agreed. A Wendy Davis governorship would spell doom. She's well known for being pro baby killing, but the damage she would cause goes much further. She fully supports the radical perverted homosexual agenda, is for Obamacare, is for illegals getting drivers licenses and is a gun grabber. It's not likely she wins, but if she does, It's very very bad news for Texas.
What would be alarming even if she loses would be BHO appointing her to some federal position. Whatever this POS touches she ruins.
The MSM will use every dirty trick in the book to promote her and attack her opponent and millions will flow to her campaign from out of state. It's our duty to counter this and ensure she loses Texas in a landslide.

I made this as part of Worldwide Recipezaar Day as an appetizer. The one Scot in our group took a bite and they we watched his eyes glaze over in nostalgia. I didn't have any mace, so I just added some more coriander, and a healthy dash of paprika. Good one, Miller!

Lightly traveled roads and varied terrain make Big Bend a premier bicycling location. Over 100 miles of paved roads, and 160 miles of backcountry dirt roads provide challenges for riders of all types and abilities. Bicyclists must be extremely cautious and well-prepared, but bicycling allows outstanding panoramic views, unobstructed by a windshield. It also allows the bicyclist to see and hear some of the smaller wonders of Big Bend from a more intimate viewpoint.
Share the Road
Road guides and more information
If you have a shuttle available:
Panther Junction to Rio Grande Village via the Glenn Spring Road

This premier ride is best taken from north to south for an easier ride and great views of the Chisos Mountains. The road is rough and rocky and the terrain is challenging. Park on the edge of the Dagger Flat Auto Trail at the north end of the Old Ore Road.

I am running the latest WordPress with the latest WooCommerce, as of this writing.
I have one standard tax rule setup for 20%. This is UK VAT.
I have a product setup at £350. 20% of 350 should be 280.
(20 x 350) / 100 = 70
However, on my product page AND checkout basket etc, the amount comes to: 291.67 (ex Tax). This should be 280. This is really wrong! So I'm not sure it's related to how I am coding the output of the product page, since I haven't touched the checkout template at all.
I am not sure if I have set something up incorrectly? Why am I getting such an odd number.
Some rules I have setup:
Yes, I will enter prices inclusive of tax.
Display prices during cart/checkout: Excluding tax.
Shipping tax class: Shipping tax class based on cart items.
I really cannot work this one out. Am I going mad?

I plan on posting more blogs as time permits, demonstrating some of these scenarios and how they can be achieved.
Antoni, any ideas when?
Hi Vitaliy. I've been focusing (especially with my blogging) mostly on core service manager scenarios to date, but my colleague Anders has some great scenarios and example that integrate SCOM, SCSM and SCORCH such as this one: http://contoso.se/blog/?p=3400 Cheers, Antoni

Federal authorities said Friday they have charged a 20-year-old Wisconsin grocery store clerk with making a hoax threat that said seven NFL stadiums across the nation would be targeted by terrorists with radiological "dirty bombs" this weekend.
Jake J. Brahm, of Wauwatosa, Wis., surrendered to the U.S. Marshal's Service in Milwaukee on Friday morning. He was charged in a sealed criminal complaint filed Thursday in Newark, U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said.
One of the stadiums allegedly targeted was Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Brahm was scheduled to make a court appearance later Friday in Milwaukee. The defendant is not believed to be a terrorist threat, CBS News reports.
He was first taken into custody by police in Wauwatosa, Wis., on Wednesday, based on information authorities received that Brahm was the source of the Internet threat to bomb football stadiums, federal authorities said.
FBI agents interviewed him that night, and the FBI said Thursday it had determined the threats were a hoax.
A joint statement from the FBI and Homeland Security Department said fans "should be reassured of their security as they continue to attend sporting events this weekend."
An FBI official in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is still under investigation, told The Associated Press that the man acknowledged posting the phony stadium threat as part of a "writing duel" with a man from the Brownsville, Texas, area to see who could post the scariest threat.
The Texas man corroborated the story, the official said. Investigators also searched the Milwaukee man's computer, the official added.
"I don't think it was put out there to be real," said FBI agent Linda Krieg in Milwaukee. "Whoever put it out there is not in a position to actually carry through on it."
The threat, dated Oct. 12, appeared on the Web site "The Friend Society," which links to various online forums and off-color cartoons. Its author, identified in the message as "javness," said trucks would deliver radiological bombs Sunday to stadiums in Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Cleveland, Oakland, Calif., and the New York City area, and that Osama bin Laden would claim responsibility.
The agency alerted authorities Wednesday in the cities mentioned, as well as the NFL and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. But the FBI and Homeland Security said there was no intelligence indicating such an attack might be imminent.
Milwaukee police contacted the FBI about the 20-year-old man Wednesday night.
The man questioned did not appear to have any ties to terrorist groups, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said stadiums are well protected through "comprehensive security procedures" that include bag searches and pat-downs.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 01st, 1995
Running Time: 85
Directors: Frank (I), Ona Zee
Company: Ona Zee Productions
Cast: Ona Zee, Dallas (I), Brick Majors, Emily (I), Jordan Lee, Tera Heart, Melissa Hill, Nikki Sinn, Jen Teal (I), Brooke Waters, Cal Jammer, Peter North, Lana Sands
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Ona Zee interviews each scene's participants (all industry pros) about their feelings on anal sex before the session begins. All five scenes involve anal penetration, but only two employ real dicks.
In the first scene, Alex Sanders fucks Dallas and sticks a dildo up her derriere (yawn). In the succeeding dildo-fest with Brooke Waters, Jen Teal, Jordan Lee and Melissa Hill, much of the footage is run in slow motion, while the soundtrack hilariously continues at full speed. A fascinating shot of Waters being fucked with a clear, Plexiglas dildo (so clear we can see her body right through it) makes up for the several missed strap-on/dildo insertion shots.
Chalk up another yawn for the routine d.p. with Emily, Peter North and London. Then Tera Heart and Nikki Sinn engage in a Sapphic dildo duel, but Heart's clumsy technique prompts Sinn to commandeer both the rectal throttle and the vibrator playing hit-or-miss with her clit.
A scorching threesome has Lana Sands, Cal Jammer and Brick Majors (who gets to do the anal honors). Lana is always intense – here she's positively explosive. In a stand-up fuck with majors, she plants her feet above his knees for leverage, then jackhammers up and down his cock like she's riding a pogo stick to China. She keeps going even after both guys have climaxed on her face, chasing after their withering cocks like a rabid dog.Stock this tape if this series has done well for you in the past and if you have a loyal base of Ona Zee fans.

|Sanskrit transliteration
|Aum Adityebhyah Namah
|Horses and many others
In Hinduism, Ādityas (Sanskrit: आदित्य, pronounced [ɑːd̪it̪jɐ]), meaning "of Aditi", refers to the offspring of Aditi.[1] The name, Aditya, is used in the singular to mean the Sun God, Surya.
The Bhagavata Purana[2] lists a total of twelve Adityas as Sun-gods. In each month of the year a different Aditya is said to shine. Each of these Adityas is a different expression of Lord Vishnu in the form of the Sun-God.[3]
In the Rigveda, the Ādityas are the seven celestial deities, sons of Āditi,
The eighth Āditya (Mārtanda) was rejected by Aditi, thus leaving only seven sons. In the Yajurveda (Taittirīya Samhita), their number is given as eight, and the last one is believed to be Vivasvān. Hymn LXXII of the Rig Veda, Book 10, also confirms that there are nine Adityas, the eighth one being Mārtanda, who is later revived as Vivasvān. [4]
"So with her eight Sons Aditi went forth to meet the earlier age. She brought Mārtanda thitherward to spring to life and die again."
The Ādityas of the Rig Veda are "devas", a distinct class of gods and are different from other groups such as the Maruts, the Rbhus or the Viśve-devāḥ (although Mitra and Varuna are also associated with the latter). [5]
Bhagavata Purana[edit]
In the Bhagavata Purana, the names of 12 Adityas are given as:
- Varuna
- Mitra
- Aryama
- Bhaga
- Amshuman
- Dhata
- Indra
- Parjanya (Savitr?)
- Tvashtha
- Vishnu (The head of all the Adityas[6])
- Pushya
- Vivasvan
In each month of the year, it is a different Aditya who shines as the Sun-God.[2] As Indra, Surya destroys the enemies of the gods. As Dhata, he creates living beings. As Parjanya, he showers down rain. As Tvashta, he lives in the trees and herbs. As Pusha, he makes foodgrains grow. As Aryama, he is in the wind. As Bhaga, he is in the body of all living beings. As Vivasvana, he is in fire and helps to cook food. As Vishnu, he destroys the enemies of the gods. As Amshumana, he is again in the wind. As Varuna, he is in the waters and As Mitra, he is in the moon and in the oceans.
The Adityas have been described in the Rig Veda as bright and pure as streams of water, free from all guile and falsehood, blameless, perfect.
This class of deities has been seen as upholding the movables and immovable Dharma. Adityas are beneficent gods who act as protectors of all beings, who are provident and guard the world of spirits and protect the world.In the form of Mitra-Varuna, the Adityas are true to the eternal Law and act as the exactors of debt.[7]
In present day usage in Sanskrit, the term Aditya has been made singular in contrast to Vedic Adityas, and are being used synonymously with Surya, the Sun.
Linga Purana[edit]
According to the Linga Purana,[8] the Adityas are:
- Varuṇa
- Mitra
- Aryaman
- Bhaga
- Amshuman
- Dhata
- Indra
- Savitṛ
- Tvaṣṭṛ
- Vishnu, head of the Adityas[6])
- Pūṣan
- Vivasvat
Vedanta and Puranic Hinduism[edit]
In the Chandogya Upanishad, Āditya is also a name of Viṣṇu, in his avatar as Vāmana. His mother is Aditi.
The Ādityas in the Vishnu Purana[9] are:
- Varuṇa
- Mitra
- Aryaman
- Bhaga
- Aṃśa
- Dhūti
- Śakra
- Savitṛ
- Tvaṣṭṛ
- Vishnu (This Sun-God is the head of all the Adityas[6])
- Pūṣan
- Vivasvat
The Vedas do not identify the Ādityas and there is no classification of the thirty-three gods, except for in the Yajurveda (7.19), which says there are eleven gods in heaven (light space), eleven gods in atmosphere (intermediate space), and eleven gods in earth (observer space). In the Satapatha Brahmana, the number of Ādityas is eight in some passages, and in other texts of the same Brahmana, twelve Adityas are mentioned. [10] The list of 12 Adityas is as follows:
Ahura-Mazda and Aditya[edit]
- Vedas and Zoroastrian Avesta also have common name Ahura-Mazda, which may refer to some Vedic God (sometimes on Rigveda some demigods, devatas are worshipped by name "asura", which in Zoroastrianism is Ahura-Mazda. See also: Vishnu sahasranama (Aditya: 39 aadityah, 563 aadityah - Son of Aditi)

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Comics let me down all the time.
But that's to be expected, I basically live, breathe, eat, and sleep comics and when you're that saturated in something it's bound to let you down from time to time.
I was reading the (it must be said, excellent) Unbeatable Squirrel Girl the other day and I was struck by something that really used to disappoint me about comics that has shifted dramatically, at least from where I'm sitting (and what I was reading).
Comics creator, writer, and artist Hope Larson (Mercury, Gray Horses, Chiggers, Salamader Dream) recently conducted a survey called Girls & Comics on her livejournal for girls and women that read comics. The results were interesting, and if you read this column and other female positive or female focused comics columns throughout the web, not that surprising. In the wake of reading her results, I asked Hope if she'd be willing to stop by She Has No Head! to answer some questions about her survey and the feedback she received. She graciously accepted.
Though I'm posting an excerpt of some of the relevant information to our interview here, I highly suggest reading the entire survey results yourself at the link.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

Released: Oct 01st, 2003
Running Time: 78
Directors: Frank Marino, Jim Enright
Company: Klimaxx Productions
Cast: Tony Tedeschi, Mandi Frost, Kyle Stone (straight), Dakota (I), Melanie Stone, Candy Apples, Jonathan Morgan, Rick Masters, Temptress, Steve Hatcher, Dave Hardman, Nina Hartley
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Gear this one toward Hartley\'s legions of fans, who presumably arr still out there, famished for their girl.
Hall-of-famer Nina Hartley shouldn't make herself quite as scarce in front of the camera as she's been doing of late. She's the best thing about Hard at Work, a silly comedy about a porn shoot at an adult store run by an annoyingly over-the-top Jonathan Morgan.
Hartley demonstrates in the opener she's still one of the industry's great all-time sexual performers as she bucks, moans, groans and spews a constant stream of dirty talk throughout a fierce hetero threeway in the back of a limo. Aspiring porn princesses half her age would do well to study her technique.
The vid's next three scenes -- all Hartley-less -- have at least some sweaty moments, but none can quite match the sustained inspiration of what proceeded them. The one that comes closest features a ferocious d.p. that unfortunately gets undermined by the decidedly un-sexy country shuffle playing on the soundtrack.
Hartley and that great ass of hers return for the sometimes-heated two-couple hoe-down that closes the tape, but even she can't trump her earlier scenes.

For those of you who own or have fired( or anyone else with opinion on the matter), which is the ideal setup for CC with this weapon?

I like Variant 1 myself.
Battle Plan (n) - a list of things that aren't going to happen if you are attacked.
Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
Learning to shoot again : Starting Over
Kurt - Shotgun Willie,
I think it is really a matter of personal preference. However, I have spent most of my life shooting 1911's so I really prefer a single action trigger. IMHO - Variants 1 or 2 make the best carry gun. For the following reasons:
1. You can carry the gun cocked/locked
2. I personally think that decocking levers are a very useful tool and cut down on the incidence of accidental discharges
3. You also get the ability to carry the gun hammer down for those that don't feel comfortable carrying cocked/locked
I didn't consider Variants 5 - 7 because personally I'm not a fan of DAO (even though I do love my Kahr). Likewise, I didn't consider Variants 9 or 10 due to the fact that they don't have a decocking lever.
With all that said, the HK is a great weapon. I feel that the ergonomics and the out of the box accuracy are excellent. It is an easy pistol to clean and gets pretty high marks on trigger pull.
Lastly, for me the only real downside to the weapon is the size. Even with the USP compact, it is still a pretty big pistol. Warm weather can make it tough to carry. Galco does make a good concealable holster though and it is still my go-to gun.
Good luck in your search!
"Do not fear those who disagree with you; fear those that do and are too cowardly to admit it" - Napoleon
Variants 1 or 2. I have 1 and open carry with it like that. From what I have heard locally, DAO makes some people nervous.

ITFT / Quick Kill Review"It is enough to note, as we have observed, that the American people have considered the handgun to be the quintessential self-defense weapon." - Justice Scalia, SCOTUS - DC v Heller - 26 JUN 2008
Variant 2 for me(LH shooter) . I like th option of C'N'L or DA/SA .
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
Whatever variant the LEM trigger is. No fussing w/ decocking or transition from DA to SA. No manual safety.
i prefer variant 3. decock, no safety.
I have two with Varient 1. This gives me a choice of cocked and locked, with all shots single action, or with hammer down and first shot double action, then the rest single action. I don't have a problem with the decocker. Hope this helps.
I have a Compact 40 cal in Variant 1............you may carry in condition 1 as a 1911 style, or utilize it as a safety/ decocker..........works well for me ....
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
I'm going to convert my V1 to V9. I shoot with my thumb riding on top of the safety and sometimes I will accidentally decock it. Getting rid of the decocker will allow me to grip more securely.
I carry a full size USP IWB. Sometimes, I only use a T-shirt for cover. It's not too big to hide.

Variant 2 for me(LH shooter) but i would like to try out Variant 10
There is no ideal anything. There are different choices. My choices may not work for you.which is the ideal setup for CC with this weapon?
I find the double-action trigger on the USP to be too heavy, with too much stacking near the break. So for me, as a righty, I prefer variant 9. Other people have different preferences. That doesn't make them right and me wrong, or vice versa.
Thanks for the input guys. I like the fact that I can change the variant if I dont like what I purchase, which is a nice option on a pricey gun.
The next questions I have are, what is the price to change the variant, would I be able to do that if needed or is a gunsmith is required? Anybody have any answers on those?

If loose gun laws are good for criminals why do criminals support gun control?
My USPc is DA/SA with ambidextrous decocker. I carry it decocked with safety off, but I like the option of carrying cocked n' locked if I want.

Football coaches, break out your checkbooks: Gray native invents new blocking sled
Published: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 2:00 a.m.
Patrick Watson come on down. You are the next inventor for Invention Technologies, Inc.
The Gray resident, who works as a truck driver, was on the road one morning last August when he conceived an improvement on a popular piece of football equipment. Flashing back to his old gridiron days, Watson, a former defensive tackle for H.L. Bourgeois High School, jotted down details for his new multi-dimensional blocking sled, later christened "The Total Sled."
"Once I got the idea, I started writing the stuff down on paper and the stuff just starting flowing," he said. "It was like it was sitting in my brain waiting to be hatched because as soon as I started it just all fell into place. The more minute details just flowed out of my head."
With his invention fleshed out, Watson began searching for someone to market his product. He found what he was looking for one day while watching a popular daytime game show.
Watson was watching "The Price is Right," when, during a commercial break, he saw an ad for Invention Technologies, Inc., a Coral Gables, Fla.-based firm that represents inventors. He submitted his new sled invention to the company and shortly thereafter got the response he was hoping for.
"The guy (from Invention Technologies, Inc.) called me and told me they have submissions come in all the time and that they only take eight percent that are sent in to the office," Watson said. "They have a staff that looks at everything and determines whether it is worthy or not. They looked at mine and thought it was something that was worth taking a chance on.
"I thought it was a pretty good idea or I wouldn't have submitted it. Once I heard that they liked it, there are really no words for it when something like that happens in your life. You can say you're excited but it's just a whole different thing."
Watson said that his new contraption is better than the traditional sled because it offers more flexibility during practice.
"The old thing was basically one way and that's the only way you could use it," he said. "My invention just opens up more ways that coaches and players can use it.
It's just a couple of little things added to it."
"The Total Sled" is currently being made available for licensing to manufacturers.
Watson said he is looking for investors and added there is a possibility that his invention could be purchased by a manufacturer at a trade show, such as the one being held in New York City next month.
"They have a lot of different dealers in that field who are looking to see what is new," he said of the shows. "It's all about being at the right place at the right time with the right people."
Although there is no set date for "The Total Sled" to be released, Watson said he looks forward to the day when his two sons, the oldest of which is five years old, can use his invention.
"I thought about my boys when I came up with this because I desire for my boys to play sports," he said. "I think it would be cool for my sons to be out there playing and using something I created. They'll be able to say my daddy made that. That to me is pretty exciting."

Kingsday, 21st Birth, year 723 (Later that day).
Jager opened the double doors, revealing a ten foot wide hallway that gradually opened into a thirty foot wide room. Carefully walking over the broken floor, our group pairs off to enter the new area. Sienna almost collapsed the floor as Altaksus was one of the first ones in (She didn't believe her weight would be the straw that broke the camel's back—- but it almost was. Sparrow was able to grab Sienna's pack, thus halting her progress onto the stressed trap floor).
Walking in, our group cautiously progresses, until Jager and Nim spot a faint magical glimmer in the air (For some reason, Altaksus could not see it, even when pointed out, he had to get much closer). Through Nim's detect magic spell, they decide that the Evocation [Force] effect they pick up was a permanent Wall of Force. Not having any way around it, they turn back. Once again going over the broken pit very carefully, and allowing Altaksus go cross alone.
They do indeed find themselves in the chamber with the broken floor mosaic, and the stairs. With only one way left that they have not yet explored, our team then goes through the broken hallway that is severly slaned up at a forty-five degree angle. They come upon a slanted room twenty feet square, and, having quite a bit of experience with twenty foot square chambers, begin looking for a pit trap or something similar. Finding none of that, Jager carefully steps forward and begins freezing. He quickly returns to the group. From there, begins a quick discussion, as the group has determined that there must be another magical field over this chamber, and they needed to find out how far the affect stretched.
Our group decided to send Altaksus (Much to Altaksus'chargrin) with a rope tied around himself, and he began freezing as he ran across the room to a staircase. He felt ice collecting over his body, but was strong enough to easily break the planes as they formed. The some of others quickly followed, and nobody was caught by the ice either through strength, agility, or luck. Well, everyone aside from Silas, who was encased.
Altaksus then reached into the room, lifted his frozen body, and placed him in the stairwell. Hirock and Sparrow used small tools to chip away at the thick ice coating Silas, and he seemed aware inside of the block of ice. they were making some progress over the next few minutes, when Silas began turning blue and passed out. At this point, Nim called for everyone to back away as she planned to fireball the chamber. Everyone did so (Aside from Altaksus who wanted to be right there to do what he could when Silas came out of the ice), and Nim cast the spell. The ice immediatly melted, and Altaksus rolled with the worst of the flames. Silas fell out of the melted ice, dead.
Our group then had a discussion if they should raise Silas or not, pretty much everyone agreed to, depending if the team had enough gold available. Well, everone aside from Jager, who claimed he could not afford any help at all. Nim remembered that Silas had been showing off that he could save so much gold as a sorcerer intead of having to spend it all like a wizard would, and informed the group of this fact. Heartened, they decided to continue on, in case they found a good stash of treasure to help with this new expense (Altaksus was one of the first to heartily agree to raise Silas, as he felt guilty for Elenoora's death, and knew that Silas spent a full portion of his treasure to help raise Altaksus).
They continued up these stairs and found the topmost ten foot square room with a hall continuing from the south wall to a set of stairs leading down. They then faced a twenty foot deep room thirty feet across with a fresco of two tall winged humanoids wielding flaming swords flanking a door in the middle of the art. There were also three small humanoids of bronze that stood up and looked at Jager as he looked into the room. With some experimentation, the bronze figures seemed to do noting but stand at attention, look at whomever was closest, and then rest back unmoving on their haunches when nobody was around.
Finding the humanoids uninteresting, the group then focused on the door. They found it steel and locked, and worked on opening it. After a couple of attempts, they managed to open this door, and found a strange chamber beyond.
This chamber was oddly shaped, had blue tiles covering the floor and walls up to a level just below the bottom of the door. The floor was three feet below them. Here and there, at the top of the level of the tiles, was a rectangular green grate covering a hole about ten inches wide and six inches wide. In the middle of the room were two tall columns of glass stretching from floor to ceiling, filled with water (And each having what appeared to be a monstrously huge octopus, looking at them) and between them, hanging down from the ceiling to a point about six feet from the floor, was a steel cylinder with a heavy steel cap on the bottom and a wheel valve in the middle.
They investigated this chamber and found the octopuses to be alive, moving, breathing, and watching the light sources. Sparrow sung a chord with one of the octopuses as a target and received a disjointed story about the fiendish beast (It was a man-eater!) targeting a fisherman and his family before they called for help from Danar. They then carefully searched the walls in this room, taking a long time, as they felt it trapped. Altaksus smelled s faint odor of salt water from the central metal colum (At the hinge to be specific). And Nim, as she was guided around the chamber, found a secret door in the southeast wall. They entered this new hall (As they did so, both octopuses swam up their tubes, and small fish swam down), and it exited into the chamber beyond, finding themselves in the room with the force wall, on the other side.
They then took this opportunity to search the remainder of this room, and spotted what seemed to be an immense plug on the south wall (So perfectly formed, that, at first glance it looked like the wall). Having nowhere else to go, our group retraced their steps, to go home and raise Silas. Walking up the stairs beyone the three small bronze humanoids, Nim spots a secret door in the north wall of the topmost landing on these stairs.
At this point the group decided to raise Silas and return to town to do so. Silas freezes into a block of ice, and they hire a carriage to take them to the Temple of Gaen (Sparrow, Nimeliel return to their rented home to gather the coin to pay for the raising). They receive word from the temple that Silas will return, and at that, go home (This took about one hour).
The arcanists in the group took this time to scribe scrolls (Nimeliel) and purchase new ones (Jager), or just to refresh themselves on how spellbooks work and such (Altaksus). In fact, it looked as if Altaksus had been building his own spellbook in secret, as he was such a rank ameture that he could not cast any spells, despite having been taught at the foot of a legendary Giant Necromancer Nimro Aylith (A Fearsome Frost Giant of some Ill Repute).
Earthday, 23rd of Birth, year 723
This took the team two days to finish and they return early in the morning, having returned to the canted corridor, and they luckily all rush through the cold room. Only having had one member frozen solid. But by now, they had become such experts at defrosting someone (Throw an oil and an alchemist's fire, repeat as neccessary), that this had become an annoyance instead of lethal.
Jager and Sparrow then both investigate this secret door above the stairs at the top landing to locate the opening mechanism and also to search it for traps. They notice a mechanism on the door hinges to force it closed, beyond this opened door they found a small twenty foot hallway, ten feet wide with doors on either end. Altaksus decided to hold this door open as the others went into the room (He smelled a faint odor of burnt herbs and didn't trust the mechanism the others found in the door hinges). Jager and Sparrow investigated the western door and found it locked as well as trapped. They bypassed this trap and unlocked the door, finding a large storage room, thirty feet by thirty feet.
This chamber was filled with stacks of cut stone, steel reinformcements and girders, and a variety of stone and metalworking tools. Altaksus and Sienna went into this chamber (Nim spotted parts for a warding generator and was very interested in looking through them) to search it. As they were in this room, a spirit launched at them from the chamber, attacking everyone in the small hallway.
As this happened, Sienna tumbled through the fight to flank with Altaksus through the doorway. Jager desparately held onto the door to keep it from slamming closed, holding his arm through the combat. The spirit swiped at the adventurers, and when its' blows landed, they felt their very essence drained. Hirock noticed at this point that they were facing a spectre, a sort of incorporeal spirit that had a soul-drain as strong as that of a vampire.
The spirit punished Jager by swiping at his arm and draining two levels from him, so he pulled his arm back, as he did so, the door slammed closed. Once the door closed, vents in the ceiling started spewing a poison gas, hitting Sparrow and Nimeliel the hardest. And they had an angry spirit in the small hallway with them. Nim then used a Dimension Door and teleported herself as well as Sparrow and Sienna out (Leaving Hirock and Jager behind).
Altaksus, knowing that Hirock was in the hall with a level draining undead spectre, charged, horns first into the door, and broke it down. They then continued the fight with the undead. By the end of it, several members of the team were drained, and Jager was left at level one. At this, our team decided to head straight home, but there was one door left in the hallway…
Torn between the prospect of going home, or investigating this last door, our group decided to look into this last door. They found the same destroyed trap, and nothing more. So, they unlocked the door, and peered into a small twenty foot by twenty foot room, this one filled with iron drum barrels, most of which had toppled. They also found a lithe humanoid figure made of a brass metal, corroded with a mangled left leg. It raised its head at the group, with an eye socket missing its eye, and asked for help locating its eye.
Sienna found the gem (A rather large diamond), and handed it over to the construct. The creature put it in the socket and thanked them, still unable to stand up. Altaksus assisted the creature to stand, and it hobbled over with him, leaning on him to walk, the creature all the while thanking them and saying, "I must attend to the locks, and clean all of the mechanisms. Why, I'm sure the iron plates in the Plug Control Room are a terrible mess."
We called the session here.
