Storm of Steel
Ernst Junger - Author
Michael Hofmann - Translator
Michael Hofmann - Introduction by
Oxford Weidenfeld Prize 2004
A superlative new translation of one of the greatest works to emerge from the catastrophe of the First World War
A memoir of astonishing power, savagery, and ashen lyricism, Storm of Steel illuminates not only the horrors but also the fascination of total war, seen through the eyes of an ordinary German soldier. Young, tough, patriotic, but also disturbingly self-aware, Jünger exulted in the Great War, which he saw not just as a great national conflict butmore importantlyas a unique personal struggle. Leading raiding parties, defending trenches against murderous British incursions, simply enduring as shells tore his comrades apart, Jünger kept testing himself, braced for the death that will mark his failure.
Published shortly after the wars end, Storm of Steel was a worldwide bestseller and can now be rediscovered through Michael Hofmanns brilliant new translation.

Exceptional Tooling
JBoss Developer Studio 6 has been specifically designed to increase your productivity. It provides support for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 and JBoss Application Server 7. Use JBoss Central to get started building awesome applications in no time. JBoss Forge reduces the ramp-up time learning the new technologies of The JBoss Way with simple keystroke commands. The JBoss Way improves you ability to test with Arquillian. No more mocks. No more container lifecycle and deployment hassles. Just real tests, quickly and simply with Arquillian.
Mobile Enabled
With the ever increasing adoption of moblie devices, you'll need to be able to serve applications to all those tablets and smart phones. The JBoss Way provides support for mobile in many ways. Build your applications upon AeroGear, RichFaces or Errai to ensure support for the latest mobile innovations. Use JBoss Developer Studio 6's BrowserSim to preview and test your applications. Deploy your applications directly to OpenShift and test them from your phone or tablet within minutes.
Runtime Productivity Boosts
However you build your application, you'll want to run it on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (Beta) or JBoss Application Server 7. Both are certified Java EE 6 servers, offering the full range of APIs and services you need such as Web (HTTP & REST), Remoting, Security, Transactions, Persistence, Messaging, Clustering and more!

I have been working at Target full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Inclusive culture; genuine integration with HQ; opportunity to understand retail as a business in all its complexity; good work-life balance; genuine emphasis on well-being and CSR
Cons – Too much emphasis on being "brand-right", which does not always allow for right action in Indian conditions (though this is slowly changing); very hierarchy driven; you cannot question the leaders beyond a point; nothing specifically bad when compared to other companies of similar size.
Advice to Senior Management – Target has a great culture, but it is suited for US job market and work ethics. We should examine the assumptions before adopting the practices in total here. Indian workforce is not yet mature enough to fully value the culture and contribute accordingly. A simple case in point is our emphasis on work-life balance. It mostly ends in too little work, and too much "life", because our junior folks are not mature enough to get the right balance, and their managers are too scared of losing them, or too lazy/immature to guide them.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

PR apprentices begin lessons as McDonald's Nick Hindle praises scheme
PR apprentices placed in a Government-backed scheme have this week started their studies in earnest, with the support of McDonald's top comms man.
McDonald's vice-president of comms Nick Hindle spoke to mark the UK-wide induction of students earlier this week.
Hindle told PRWeek: 'I think there are many people out there with talent and qualities to add to our industry that have not been given the opportunity to enter the industry. I think the apprenticeships programme is a clear signal that we want to be more accessible and we're very supportive of it.'
The apprentices will be taught 14 modules on a day release basis, and will gain a level four qualification at the end of 12-18 months, the equivalent to the first year of a degree.
Grayling, The Red Consultancy and Virgo Health are among the agencies to have taken on apprentices from the £1.2m Government-funded scheme.
Anne Martin, Pearson curriculum manager PR, said: 'They are having the most amazing experience. Some of them have been with their employers for a couple of weeks and they have been talking to journalists and organising events, they've been treated like employees.'

Make them really tight so they get stuck.
I recently installed 2 Panasonic vent fans due to their extremely good ratings here on the forums. I noticed when I installed them that the door for preventing backflow draft has a notable gap all the way around it, and does very little to actually stop cold air from coming back into the room.
These were 2 different models, and both use the same type of draft door. Not only can cold air come in, but I would imagine that there is plenty of warm air escaping out these fans, even when they are not on.
Given all the interest in energy savings and keeping a tight house, how can the losses from these vent fans be considered acceptable, and what if anything is done to improve the situation?
Make them really tight so they get stuck.
The back-draft damper is probable designed that way because many Low Power Fan motors have a hard time working against a completely closed damper.
The small gap gives the Fan Motor a chance to come up to speed, then it can open the back-draft damper properly.
Theory only works perfect in a vacuum.
Cyber Security Protection for Windows C:\ > WWW.WinForce.Net
you should also have a damper installed in the roof jack where the fan discharges. this one is a better seal (on the one i have installed) than the panasonic damper. if your fan is not mounted properly, the damper may not be closing fully either.
I typically have 3 dampers in total... factory one at the fan, one mid-line somewhere near the outside wall, and a louvered side wall discharge (don't usually go through the roof, prefer to not have roof penetrations if possible). The fans kick all 3 open very quickly, don't seem to have any trouble with it. There will always be some backflow, but this seems to stop most of it.
I also tape all the seams and insulate around the vent line when possible - spray foam around the terminal through the wall/roof, and whatever you like in the bay around the exhaust line. Heat will slowly escape through the thin wall of an exhaust line otherwise.
Fans are an inherent inefficiency though, there's only so much you can do.
I agree.
I also have a damper on the galvanized louver on the outside wall.
Thanks for your input guys. In retrospect, I think when I had my roof done they installed a regular attic vent louver over the outlet of the main bath fan. This will need to be tended to.
On the basement bath I did install an aluminum louver with a damper on the outside wall. I'm a bit shocked to find how much cold is absorbed through the louver and inside along the vent pipe. The vent pipe is like ice 4 feet in from the outside wall. (I don't have the ceiling in yet.) I guess wrapping this with insulation is all that I can do.
Moving south for the winter sounds like a pretty good alternative right now.
for your basement one at least, buy an additional in-line damper and install it just inside the exterior wall. tape all of the seams along the line, then spray foam around the penetration through the wall and along the sides of the new damper (or at least wrap this portion of the line with duct insulation). this should slow down the infiltration substantially, but there will always be cold air infiltration through a vent line like this. insulating around it will take care of most of the rest of the cold.

News and Events Details
Alternative Spring Break offers a variety of options to take advantage of the week free from classes. This year there are a number of Alternative Spring Break trips planned though Campus Life. As they have done for the past 15 years, UWS will be sending a delegation out on spring break to support Habitat for Humanity. The group this year will be working with Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver to participate in a home build to support families who might not have been able to afford a home otherwise.
Alternative Spring Break (ASB) gives students the opportunity to have a spring break that is meaningful and memorable for years to come. It is an alternative to the 'traditional' spring breaks that whisk students to tropical locations for a week of fun in the sun. Not all ASB trips will focus on service and volunteering, for example there are a few other trips planned including a Fishing Trip to Bull Shoals Lake in Northern Arkansas, complete with a trip to the factory of Ranger boats in Flippin, Arkansas.
The Superior Outdoor Adventure Program(SOAP) is also offering some trips to cater to the adventure enthusiast, including Rock Climbing in the Red River Gorge and Canoeing on the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. Both trips are beginner to intermediate level and will focus on getting outside and taking in the beautiful scenery that surrounds them.
ASB provides students with the opportunity to get away for a much needed break for an affordable price. However, the best part of ASB, is the learning that takes place while on a trip, most of which students will not fully realize until later. Take some time to talk to students and find out what they are doing for spring break, you might find that it really is no break at all, but rather more work and a chance for them to give back.
Watch for the Campus Life Spotlight each Tuesday online and in the Staff Digest.

The food is, for the most part,
excellent and the service is pleasant and efficient. But, the most attractive feature of a Da Mimmo dining experience is the warm and comfortablle atmosphere. The only negative is the wine pricing - no wine on their list less than $43 (except one blush at $39) and "house wines" ar $12 per glass. With so much inexpensive but very good wines avaialable today, they should be able to do better than that for their customers. NOTE: Only reason I didn't give service an "outstanding" was because he did not tell me price of the by-the-glass house wine when I said wine list was too expensive. I ended up spending more for the house wine than if I had ordered a bottle off of the list."

Although it is pricey, but you
know that before you walk in, DaMimmo's is a wonderful restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff was exceptional. This is by far my favorite Italian restaurant in Little Italy."

This neighborhood Italian
steakhouse does not want for customers. Crowded when we arrived early for a 7:30 reservation. At 7:45 I checked in with hostess and was told they were ready for us, but no one every came to get us. Given the wine list when we were seated, but no menus. No bread, nothing for around 15 minutes. My partner ordered a filet medium rare, when it came out medium well we sent it back. Next version came out rare. Waiter was on his heels all evening. Took forever to get round of cocktails -- to be fair we were seated upstairs and waitstaff has to traverse stairs. Food was enjoyable (other than the done-ness of the filet the steak itself was excellent), my veal chop was immense. Don't go unless you have hours to kill."

We last patronized this restaurant
six years ago, regularly, and were amazed at the quality of food, service, and romantic surroundings. Our visit recently met none of those qualities. Salmon was overdone--dry almost, although the sauce was very tasty. Veal was just ok--waiter did not even offer to provide cheese. Felt as if we were being given the "bums rush" as we visited early for dinner,(5:30 pm) and were going to the Lyric 8:00 pm performance. We were asked if we were ordering off the special menu for restaurant week, and when we advised we were not, it seemed we were making life difficult for our waiter.-- He did provide a pudding as apoloygy for dry fish, but never offered to take it back, when we complained (which is a rarity)"

Da Mimmo's is a Baltimore
institution, and well-deserved. The atomosphere, ambience, and service are first-rate. The wait staff is well-trained; knowledgeable, unobtrusive, but always there when you need them. And well dressed. They are expensive - most regular menu items are $30 and up. The wine list starts around $40 and goes up exponentially from there. There are no listed "by the glass" options, but if you ask they will offer two choices, red or white, at ~$12. They do list half bottles at $24 and up, but that's basically two glasses. The food was very good (Veal Chop, Norwegian Salmon), but not better than other good Little Italy restaurants. Figure on about $100 per person with wine and tip for an average dinner."

My husband and I used to frequent
Da Mimmo's when we lived in the area 10 years ago. The décor looks unchanged from 10 years ago (which was already looking pretty dated at that time). The food was quite good but doesn't seem worth the price now that the service has gone downhill. The pace of our meal was not rushed but we felt neglected. They seated us right next to the only other two couples in the restaurant at the time which made intimate conversation difficult because you could hear everything the neighboring couple said. The food is still good but I don't think it warrants the premium pricing anymore. I think the restaurant needs a facelift and some more attentive servers. To his credit, the greeter at the door was very welcoming."

The food was good, the service
excellent and the atmosphere very cozy and welcoming. However, the wines are way overpriced. The wine that we had for dinner retails for $18 and costs at Da Mimmo $79, a 400% markup over retail (the restaurant certainly buys wines at wholesale prices)."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Went to DaMimmo's during
restaurant week. I would not recommend going during restaurant week. This is a pricey restaurant and we expected excellent service but the service was lacking. The food was good but not outstanding. We ordered off the regular menu and restaurant week menu and the food we ordered off the regular menu was not hot."

Dined on Saturday of restaurant
week. Had a 7:30 reservation, arrived at 7:00, were seated at 8:40. Very understaffed considering the busy night. They should know better. Food was average. Wine VERY expensive."

We went during restaurant week.
The portions for appetizers were very small. Sausage and peppers 1/4 sausage, Clams casino was like mush very disappointed. I have never heard of an Italian Restaurant that didn't give you bread and butter during your wait, however the waiter did ask if we wanted to "order" Garlic bread which we did and it was 2 miniature pieces but they were good. The main course which was their specialty lamb chop was very good ...that was the best part. The Veil Marsala was also very good. You do not get any spaghetti or anything with the main course just the meat and a few pieces of broccoli did come with the lamb chop which was good... Overall, It is too overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. Will never go back."
Dined on 2/21/2014
We went there for restaurant
week...and while we were expecting a "limited" menu, we didn't expect it to be as "limited' as it was. Plus, the portion sizes were extremely small. Not worth the $30 r-week special AT ALL. Perhaps the regular entrees would be better, but we did not try them. While the r-week deal didn't live up to expectations, the food was very good...along with the service."

I have been here three times
before but it has been awhile. After eating ther this week I wonder why I ever go anywhere else! The meal was awesome! I had the vel chop and it was delicious. The chop salad was very flavorful. My friend had the veal Marsala and it was also very good and tender. However the veal chop is worth the trip. I will definitely go back for my birthday next month. On another note you have to order the crab cocktail. It is served so creatively with a live beta fish in the plate! Please go and try this neighborhood gem!"

The seafood soup special was
fantastic, but the wine list by the bottle was expensive ($58+) definitely not for the frequent italian food craving."

We visited during Baltimore
Restaurant Week. The set menu was limited but very good. The main restaurant is tiny and very attractive, with original artwork on the walls by Tony Bennett. Yes, that Tony Bennett. It is expensive but you get good value. Other reviewers have complained about a waiter being brusque and rude. Our response - treat him with respect and he treats you with respect. He's very efficient and hardworking and perfectly friendly if you are friendly too."

We went here for Valentines Day.
All the food we got was delicious (Filet mignon, caprese, mussels, veal saltimbocca). The only complaint was that we had reservations for 8pm, and didn't get seated until 8:35. I assume it was just because of valentines day, but didn't appreciate the overbooking. I will likely go back, just not when I expect them to be busy."
Dined on 2/14/2014
At least for all the times I've
been there. One of the best of Baltimore's numerous Italian restaurants in our Little Italy. I had the veal chop - a specialty of the house - and it did not disappoint. Huge portions; cooked just right - a wonderful dish for those with a real hunger for young beef. My wife had the sword fish and was likewise suitably impressed (good thing too since this was our Valentine's dinner ;-) ). Topped off with a nice Chianti, and we were good to go. Although admittedly we skipped their desserts and headed to Vaccaro's [no one can beat Vaccaro's for their bakery sweets] just down the street. It made for a wonder respite from the nasty winter we've been experiencing."

This was Valentine's Day, so the
normal menu was not available. Nonetheless, there was a wide variety of good food options on the special menu. Service was very strong despite the fact that the restaurant was full due to Valentine's Day. Have never gone wrong her here for for fine Italian food."

First, before one even gets into
the door one of the prime reasons I keep returning to Da Mimmo's - free use parking & courtesy limo. The starter - green apple salad (definitely recommend) and cubed lobster special over linguini as an entree. Our server Cory was superb with the only minor tweak would be to remind us about the time since he mentioned we had to be at the theater on 8PM on our way to the table. Not really a big deal - but I am a dessert fan and I missed out on the opportunity to try one of Da Mimmo's desserts due to letting the time get away from us and having to rush out and have the courtesy limo take us to the Hippodrome. A special shoutout to Elizabeth who got us safely to and from the Hippodrome."

Our party of seven dined at Da
Mimmo's on a recent Sunday evening. It was a slow night...so the server was very attentive. The menu was complemented by a number of specials for the evening...one being Osso Buco which was outstanding! My friend had a veal chop that was the largest I've ever seen served (very tasty he said too). Appetizers were great...side salads were fresh. Desserts were delicious. While we waited for our cab, we went into the bar area to view the many pictures of celebrities on the wall, and the owners chatted us up and poured us all a complimentary homemade Lemoncello! All in all...a very nice dining experience. Felt like Sunday supper with the family!"

We went on a recommendation from a
friend who actually lives in Chicago but dines at DaMimmo's when in town. We had read mixed reviews on line so wasn't sure what to expect. What we got was great service and a great dinner. They have a private parking lot which made parking very easy. We picked our appetizers, salads and main courses from the specials our waiter told us about. We have zero complaints as everything was beyond exceptional. It was a great meal. We somehow found room for dessert since we did read a review about how good the desserts are. Once again, we were very pleased. It was very expensive but we thought it was worth it. It was a great night out. If money is an issue, I would advise ordering off the regular menu."

We visit Baltimore once a year and
always plan an evening at Da Mimmos. This is probably one of the best dining experiences I have ever had and so enjoy the thoughtful attention to detail and quality of the total dining experience. The services is without equal with lots of attention from the very professional staff as well as Executive Chef Masood. Da Mimmo's is much more than just a great meal, it is a true culinary experience offering insight into the food and wines of Italy few other establishments ever offer. Their bar is also very enjoyable and if you go on a night when their pianist is playing, he knows practically every song ever written. Such a wonderful way to spend a long evening."

was glad to find available time
for NYE. great parking available and lounge was unique, good feel. had requested on my reservation to be advised if special menu or price fixe for NYE and did not hear back. my bad to assume but they had limited menu and also price fixe. all prices were increased considerably from online menu and waiter was professional but slick on pushes to expensive items, especially wine. between specials, price fixe and limited menu even our waiter got it wrong and had to come back and advise one of the items we had ordered wasn't available ala-carte but only in price fixe format. really? at $48 for the entrée they couldn't make it? in all, a good meal but not a good value based on area competition."
Dined on 12/31/2013
The food was good and the service
was very good. What would prevent me from recommending this restaurant is that I thought the cost of the meal was over priced. It was a very expensive dinner, and I do not object to paying for a good meal. But I thought the price point of the meal was above what we received. The reputation of the restaurant is well known. It is obvious the restaurant is well-loved, as it was packed. It was Christmas Eve, so maybe my mistake was trying the restaurant on such a busy night. I might have had a different experience on another evening. But I'm not inclined to give it a second try."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Absolutely NO reason to go to this
restaurant unless you like a very long wait, like over an hour between your appetizer and entree and very mediocre food. The waiter was obviously uncomfortable with the long wait we endured for our meal and so, to appease us, at the conclusion....brought 1 cannoli to be shared by four. Really an insult!!! At the very least, there should have been an apology and maybe even an after dinner drink...but 1 cannoli with 4 forks was it...Just further evidence of a restaurant that really does not know what it is doing. Avoid it!!!"

Headed into the city for dinner
with hubby, my sister, and her hubby. We went all out, with appetizers, dinner entrees, and desserts. The portions were insane and delicious. Our waiter was very concerned that we had a good dining experience. It was a magical evening. It was pricey but totally worth it for a special dinner in the city."
Dined on 10/26/2013
Unfortunately our entire
experience was ruined by our waiter! He was rude, condescending, arrogant, do I need to go on? The atmosphere and our meal was excellent but not enough to excuse his behavior. I read several reviews prior to making our reservation and wondered how a bad waiter could spoil an excellent dinner, and I learned first hand. When I complained to the management, the response was I wish you would have told me earlier, he is a good waiter but that is how he acts!"

Expensive but worth it. Our
experience was wonderful. Delicious food and great service from our outstanding waiter...Michael. Can't wait to return. Loved the convenience of parking in Da Mimmo's lot."

It is no wonder Little Italy
places are closing left and right. I returned to Da Mimmo after a few year hiatus and the only thing that has changed are the prices (they went up from their already too high levels!) Same nightly specials and the same bad attitude from the staff (except the barmaid...she was very pleasant but she was very young). If you want a Baltimore institution, try it. If you want good creative food and value, go to Aldo's. Da Miimmo's just isn't worth a $200/head tab."
Dined on 10/21/2013
I never write reviews, but feel I
should warn others about our experience. Our waiter was probably the worst waiter I have ever had in my life, we were actually afraid of him. I am not sure if the other waiters were more pleasant, but no matter how good the food was it could not be enjoyed. 3 of us ordered specials and were afraid to ask the price, but assumed that since the other fish entrees listed on the menu were in the high low $30 range..that the specials would be similar. We were surprised that swordfish and seabass were both priced at $48 each. I have no problem paying for great food with great service in a great atmosphere, but we had ok food, with terrible service in a tacky place that would be better suited for a fortune teller."

The Impossible Cube
A Novel of the Clockwork Empire
Steven Harper - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
In an age where fantastic inventions of steam and brass have elevated Britain and China into mighty empires, Alice Michaels faces a future of technological terrors…
Once, Gavin Ennock sailed the skies on airships and enchanted listeners with his fiddle music. Now, the clockwork plague consumes his intellect, enabling him to conceive and construct scientific wonders—while driving him quite mad. Distressed by her beloved's unfortunate condition, Alice Michaels sought a cure rumored to be inside the Doomsday Vault—and brought the wrath of the British Empire down on them.
Declared enemies of the Crown, Alice and Gavin have little choice but to flee to China in search of a cure. Accompanying them is Dr. Clef, a mad genius driven to find the greatest and most destructive force the world has ever seen: The Impossible Cube. If Dr. Clef gets his hands on it, the entire universe will face extinction.
And Gavin holds the key to its recreation…
We include this section as a courtesy for new readers who did not have the opportunity to peruse The Doomsday Vault, the most excellent first volume in this series. The information may also prove useful to experienced readers who require a bit of a refresher, or who lack a mechanized cranial implant with fully realized library. Thoroughly experienced readers are encouraged to leaf their way over to Chapter One, where they will find Gavin Ennock in awkward and perilous circumstances.
The year is 1857.
Nearly one hundred years earlier, a new disease ravaged the world. The plague causes rotting of flesh, and also invades the host's nervous system, causing motor dysfunction, dementia, and photosensitivity. Victims lurching through the late stages inevitably became known as plague zombies. However, a handful of victims end up with neural synapses that, for a brief time, fall together instead of apart. Advanced mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry become as toys to them. But as the virus slowly destroys their brains, they eventually lose their grip on reality. Their attachment to mechanical inventions and their detachment from normal human emotion earned them the name clockwork geniuses or clockworkers, and the disease itself became the clockwork plague.
Two nations—England and China—built opposing empires using the fantastic inventions supplied by captive clockworkers, and only the delicate balance of power holds the two empires in check.
In The Doomsday Vault, we encountered Alice Michaels, an impoverished woman of quality who had finally caught the eye of wealthy industrialist Norbert Williamson. Norbert promised to pay Alice's family's debts if she married him and provided their eventual child with a title. Alice reluctantly agreed. Mere hours later, she rescued from great danger a handsome young street musician named Gavin Ennock.
Before Gavin met Alice, he served aboard the American airship Juniper. An unfortunate encounter with pirates left him stranded in London with no means of employment save playing the fiddle on street corners. After Alice's dramatic rescue, Gavin found himself attracted to her, and she to him, but her circumstances and his social standing didn't allow for a romance.
A great many adventures followed. Alice's aunt Edwina turned out to be a clockworker. Plague zombies attacked London. A great mechanical beast kidnapped Alice, and Gavin rescued her with the help of a mutated walking tree designed by another clockworker. Gavin and Alice learned of a shadowy organization called the Third Ward. The Ward, led by Lieutenant Susan Phipps, has been charged by Queen Victoria herself to scour the world for clockworkers and bring them back to London, where they build inventions for the good of the Crown—and the detriment of the Orient.
Aunt Edwina's diseased mind created a pair of cures for the clockwork plague, but such cures would upset the careful balance of power between the British and the Chinese, so the Third Ward locked Edwina's work in the Doomsday Vault, which houses only the most dangerous of inventions. Infuriated, Edwina infected Gavin with the plague in hopes of forcing Alice to retrieve the cure and, in the process, kill everyone in the Third Ward. Edwina's plan worked—almost. Alice and Gavin stole the cures, but stopped short of murder.
Aunt Edwina did not survive the release of her own airborne cure, and Alice found herself the disconcerted owner of a mechanical gauntlet that can cure the clockwork plague with a scratch. Unfortunately, neither of Edwina's cures helps clockwork geniuses; they only cure people in danger of becoming ordinary plague zombies.
Alice left her betrothed and declared her love for Gavin. She attempted to cure Gavin of the plague and failed; Gavin was becoming a clockworker.
Alice and Gavin fled London in a small airship, with Lieutenant Phipps hot on their heels. Joining them are Gabriel Stark (a clockworker who calls himself "Dr. Clef"), Feng Lung (the son of China's ambassador to England), Kemp (Alice's mechanical valet), and Click (Alice's windup clockwork cat). They are heading for China, which has its own supply of clockworkers, and may have a more powerful cure that can restore Gavin's fading sanity and save his life.
Gavin Ennock snapped awake. His temples pounded, his feet ached, and his arms flopped uselessly above his head. Far above him lay green grass strewn with twigs. It took him several moments to understand he was hanging upside down by his ankles. At least he wasn't naked this time.
"Hello?" he called.
Below him, nothing moved. He shifted in confusion, and the iron shackles around his ankles clinked like little ghosts. How the hell—? The last thing he remembered was walking back to the inn from a much–needed trip to the bathhouse and someone had called his name. Now he was hanging head–down amid a bunch of trees. Most were little more than saplings, but a few were full–sized. Gavin didn't know trees, but these certainly didn't seem . . . normal. Their branches twisted as if with arthritis, and the leaves looked papery. Two or three bloomed with bright blue flowers, and bees bumbled among them.
The forest itself was contained within a domed greenhouse, three or four stories tall. Gavin's head hung fully two of those stories above the ground. Glass walls broken into geometric designs magnified and heated angry summer sunlight. The whole place smelled green. Water trickled somewhere, and humidity made the air heavy. Breathing felt almost the same as drinking.
Poison ivy vines of fear took root and grew in Gavin's stomach. "Hey!" Blood throbbed in his head, and his voice shook more than a little. "Is someone going to tell me what's going on?"
From around one of the trees limped a man. His back was twisted, and his sparse brown hair clumped unevenly against his skull. This and his scarred, gnarled hands gave the initial impression that he was old, but Gavin, who wasn't yet twenty, quickly realized the man was barely older than he was himself. The man was a clockworker, and the plague had left him with physical and mental scars both.
"Shit," Gavin muttered.
"Is he awake?" The man had a French accent. "Yes, he is awake."
"I'm an agent of the Third Ward," Gavin called down to him, lying. "When I don't report in, they'll send a team to see what happened to me. You don't want that. Let me go, and—"
The twisted man threw a lever Gavin hadn't noticed before, and Gavin dropped. The ground rushed up at him. His stomach lurched, and Gavin yelled. At the last moment, the twisted man threw the lever again and Gavin jerked to a stop five feet above the ground. His ankles burned with pain, and the headache sloshed hot lead inside his skull.
"I think he has no idea who I am." The twisted clockworker pressed a scarred hand to Gavin's upturned cheek in a strangely tender caress. The gesture created an odd convergence of opposites. Gavin's captor stood firmly on the ground. His body was twisted and warped as his trees, his face was scarred beneath greasy, sparse hair, and he wore a filthy robe that looked like it had once belonged to a monk. Muddy hazel eyes peered at his captive. Gavin had even features, white–blond hair, and blue eyes. His black shirt and trousers contrasted sharply with his fair skin and hair, and his fingers were straight and strong.
The clockworker cocked his head, as if hearing a voice—or voices. "Then maybe he should look around and try to remember who I am. Maybe he should."
Gavin considered socking the clockworker, but discarded the idea—bad leverage, and even if he managed to knock the other man unconscious, he would still be trapped in the shackles. His earlier fear gnawed at him again, mingling with the pain.
Now that he was lower, he could see nearby a large stone worktable littered with wicked–looking gardening tools, a large control panel bristling with levers, dials, and lights, and, incongruously, a brass–and–glass pistol. A power cable trailed from the stock and ended in a large battery pack.
"Listen," Gavin said with growing desperation, "I can help you. I can—"
The man turned Gavin, forcing him to look at the trees. "I don't know if he remembers. Maybe he will if I point out that the forest is old but the greenhouse is new. What do you all think?"
"What are you talking about?" It was useless to argue with clockworkers—the disease that stoked their brains also lubricated their grip on reality—but Gavin couldn't help himself. "You aren't making—"
One of the trees moved. It actually leaned down and in, as if to get a closer look at Gavin. The blue blossoms shifted, and a glint of brass caught the light. Long wires and strips of metal ran up the bark. Gavin's breath caught in his throat. For a moment, time flipped backward, and he was fleeing through a blur of leaves and branches that were actively trying to kill him. A tall, bearded clockworker in an opera cloak rode one of the walking trees, steering it by yanking levers and pressing pedals. His partner, Simon, shouted something as Gavin spun and fired the electric rifle attached to the battery pack on his back.
"L'Arbre Magnifique," Gavin whispered. "This is his forest. But the greenhouse wasn't here before, and you aren't him."
"I heard him mention my father, L'Arbre Magnifique," the clockworker said. "But I don't believe he asked my name." He paused again. "Yes, that was indeed rude of him. He should know my name is Antoine."
Gavin's mouth went dry. Fantastic. What were the odds of two clockworkers showing up in the same family, or that Gavin would run into both of them in one lifetime? The shackles continued to bite into his ankles with iron teeth.
"Look, Antoine, your father is alive and well," Gavin said, hoping he was telling the truth. "In London. We gave him a huge laboratory and he invents great . . . uh, inventions all day long. I can take you to him, if you want."
Antoine spun Gavin back around and slugged him high in the stomach. The air burst from Gavin's lungs. Pain sank into him, and he couldn't speak.
"Ah," Antoine said. "Do you think I hurt him? I do." Another pause, with a glance at the trees. "No, it was not as painful as watching him kidnap my father." He turned his back to Gavin and gestured at one of the towering trees. "That is true. My father only taught me to work with plants. I will teach myself how to work with meat. Slowly."
An object flashed past Gavin's face and landed soundlessly on the grass where Antoine couldn't see. It was a perfect saucer of glass, perhaps two feet in diameter. Startled, Gavin looked up toward the faraway ceiling in time to see a brass cat, claws extended, leap through a new hole in the roof. The cat fell straight down and crashed into some bushes a few feet away. Antoine spun.
"What was that?"
It took Gavin a moment to realize Antoine was talking to him and not the trees. "It was my stomach growling," he gasped through the pain. "Don't you feed your prisoners?"
A string of saliva hung from Antoine's lower lip. "Yes. I feed them to my forest."
The leaves on the lower bushes parted, and the brass cat slipped under the worktable, out of Antoine's field of view. It gave Gavin a phosphorescent green stare from the shadows. A ray of hope touched Gavin.
"Your father is a genius, Antoine," he said earnestly. "A true artist. Queen Victoria herself said so."
The trees whispered among themselves, and a storm crossed Antoine's face. "You are right! He should never mention that horrible woman's name, not when her Third Ward agents took my father away from me!"
"Simon and I captured a tree with him, remember? The tree turned out to be really useful," Gavin continued, a little too loudly. The pain from the punch was fading a little, but his ankles still burned. "It helped us track down a clockworker who hurt a lot of people."
Another glance at the trees. "Ah, yes. I miss Number Eight, too. What? No, I have definitely improved your design since then. Look at yourselves. I can make you blossom and create seedlings that grow their own metal frameworks, if only you have enough minerals in your roots. The entire forest will walk at my command! I only need more money. Money to buy more metal for my hungry trees."
Through the hole in the roof flew a small whirligig, its propeller twirling madly to keep it aloft. It trailed a rope. The whirligig zipped down to a support beam close to the ground and grabbed it with six spidery limbs, leaving the slanted rope behind it. Two of the trees creaked and leaned sideways, as if they were searching for something. Antoine, sensitive to their moods, started to turn. The unnatural position of Gavin's arms started new pains in his shoulders. The aches made Gavin's concentration waver, and he had to force himself to speak up and divert Antoine's attention.
"Where are you going to get money?" he said. "You live in a forest."
Distracted, Antoine turned his attention back to Gavin. "He doesn't know that I will collect a reward for capturing him, yes, I will. But will I play with him first? Also, yes."
Gavin froze. "What reward? What are you talking about?"
"Is it a large reward? Enormous!" Antoine began to pace. The cat watched him intently, and when Antoine's twisted back was turned, it bolted out from under the table and took a flying leap onto Gavin's back. His claws sank into Gavin's skin, and Gavin sucked in a sharp breath at the pricks and stabs of eighteen claws.
"Ow! Click!" Gavin gasped.
Antoine glanced sharply at him, but the cat was hidden from view behind Gavin's body. "Click?"
"I said I'm sick," Gavin managed. "Who could be offering a reward for me? I've been in France only a few days."
"That would be Lieutenant Susan Phipps."
Gavin's blood chilled. "No," he whispered.
"Ah. Did you see the way I frightened my new subject?" A pause, and his expression turned churlish. "But I should be allowed to play before I turn him over to Lieutenant Phipps. Just a little. Just enough."
"What about Alice?" Gavin couldn't help blurting. "Is there a reward for her, too?"
"Would I like to double the reward?" Click the cat climbed higher just as Antoine snaked out a hand and pulled Gavin closer by his hair, which gave Gavin an excuse to yelp in pain. "Where is your little baroness?"
At that moment, a woman in a brown explorer's shirt, trousers, and gloves slid through the hole in the roof and down the slanted rope. Her hair was tucked under a pith helmet, and her belt sported a glass cutlass. Her expression was tight, like a dirigible that might explode. Alice Michaels. Oh God. Gavin's chest constricted and he felt a mixture of love and alarm, devotion and dread. He was so glad to see her he wanted to go limp with relief even as he was terrified the clockworker would capture her as well.
"We split up," Gavin gasped, too aware of the cat on his back. What the hell was the damned thing doing? "Right after we left England. The Third Ward was chasing us and we decided it would be safer. You'll never find her."
"Do I believe him? No, I do not. Do I think his Alice is somewhere nearby? Yes, I—"
"MONSEIGNEUR!" boomed one of the trees. "MONSEIGNEUR! ROCAILLEUX!"
Everything happened at once. Antoine snatched up the brass pistol from the worktable. Click scrambled up Gavin's legs to his ankles and extended a claw into the shackles. Alice whipped the glass cutlass free with one hand and sliced the rope below her. Clinging to the top piece like a liana vine, she swung downward. With a clack, Gavin's shackles came open and he dropped to the ground, barely managing to tuck and roll so he wouldn't hit his head. Antoine fired the pistol at Alice. Yellow lightning snapped from the barrel. Thunder smashed through the greenhouse. An anguished shout tore itself from Gavin's throat. The bolt missed its target, and four windows shattered. Alice landed several yards away from the circle of trees, stumbled, regained her feet in waist–high shrubbery. Click dropped to the ground in front of Gavin. Antoine took aim at Alice again.
Now enraged, Gavin tried to come to his feet, but his legs, chained for too many hours, gave way. Instead, he snatched up Click and threw. Click landed on Antoine's head with a mechanical yowl. Antoine's arm jerked. The pistol spoke, and thunder slammed the air as the yellow bolt tore through the top of one of the trees. Another window shattered.
"ROCAILLEUX," the tree cursed. To a tree, anything rocky was bad.
Alice crashed through the bushes toward Antoine, who was still struggling with Click. Blood flowed from a dozen tiny cuts on the clockworker's face and head. He finally managed to fling the cat aside and bring the pistol around on her.
"Alice!" Gavin's heart wrenched with terror for her. Already he could envision the smoking hole in her chest.
Antoine's finger tightened on the trigger. Without pausing in her stride, Alice swung the glittering cutlass and severed the power cable. It spat sparks and dropped to the ground like a dying electric snake. A magnificent move, and Gavin grinned. But instead of hesitating, Antoine swung the barrel of the pistol. It clipped Alice on the side of the head, and she stumbled.
"Pute!" Antoine snarled. "Do I care if I get a reward for her alive? No, I do not!"
Angered again, Gavin wrenched himself to his feet and rushed at Antoine, but the clockworker was ready, and stiff–armed Gavin in the chest. Antoine looked old, but he was actually young and strong and gifted with heightened reflexes by the disease that was also burning through his brain. Gavin possessed similar strength and reflexes, but he was still hobbled by his hours in shackles, and he staggered back.
Alice recovered herself, but instead of going for Antoine, she ran for one of the brass–limned trees. Antoine snatched up a set of huge hedge–trimming shears and flipped a switch. They chattered and chopped as he ran toward her, foam and spittle trailing from his mouth. Alice scrambled up the tree. Antoine swung the shears and gouged out a chunk of brass and bark just below her boot.
"ROCAILLEUX," the tree said.
Knives and needles slashed Gavin's sore muscles, but he ignored them and forced himself to move. He slammed into Antoine from behind, stopping the clockworker from swinging the shears again but not knocking him over. Instead, Antoine's plague–enhanced reflexes allowed him to spin and jab at Gavin. The shears snapped at Gavin's arm, and he barely yanked it out of the way. Air puffed past his fingers as the blades closed. He grabbed Antoine's wrist and twisted, hoping to force him to drop the shears, but Antoine was stronger than he looked and Gavin's stiff muscles continued to disobey him. Antoine slowly forced the shears back around until the blades were snapping at Gavin's neck. A warm drop of saliva dribbled from Antoine's mouth onto Gavin's cheek.
"Will the boy pay?" he hissed. "He will!"
The tree Alice had climbed creaked and bent. "Gavin! Down!"
At Alice's shout, Gavin relaxed and let himself fall. It never occurred to him not to. He dropped to the grass, leaving Antoine standing above him. One of the tree's branches swung around at chest height. Gavin caught the surprise on Antoine's face just before the tree swept him aside like a toy soldier knocked off a table.
"Hurry!" Alice called. "Climb up."
Gavin struggled to his feet and jumped onto the lowered branch. Click followed, his claws digging into the bark and offering a clear advantage over Gavin, who had to cling as best he could while the branch hauled him up to the main trunk. Alice, surrounded by pedals, cranks, levers, and pulleys, was seated on a bench built into the wood. She spun one of the cranks, and the tree straightened again. Then she grabbed the front of Gavin's shirt and pulled him down for a long kiss.
The world stopped for a moment. The pain in Gavin's body receded, and Alice's warm lips pressing against his own made him feel both safe and calm, even as they stole his very breath. He kissed her back, so thankful to see her that tears came to his eyes. They parted.
"That's for being alive when I came to get you," Alice said, then slapped him lightly on the cheek. "And that's for getting captured and scaring me half to death in the first place."
"I love you, too." Gavin said. "Now, run! He'll recover in a minute, and I'm not up for fighting him. I don't suppose you brought Dr. Clef's power gun."
"Too heavy to carry down the rope, darling." Alice held out an arm and whistled. The whirligig buzzed in and settled on her shoulder. Click took up a position on the bench beside her. "We're safe for the moment anyway. These trees don't move unless you tell them to. Do you want to drive? I never handled the original Tree back home."
Below, Antoine had already regained his feet and was staggering toward the worktable.
"Antoine can control them from the ground," Gavin said tersely. "Go! Go now!"
Alice didn't hesitate or ask for further explanation, which was one of the many reasons Gavin loved her. She hauled ropes and yanked levers. The tree stomped forward on a bifurcated trunk that ended in balled roots. Antoine reached the worktable—and the control panel. Alice stomped another step forward, and another. She had nearly cleared the ring of mutated trees.
"Will I kill them?" Antoine screamed from the control panel. "Will I?"
"He's losing his mind," Gavin observed as Alice worked. "He's not even answering his own questions."
Antoine's hands moved swiftly over the panel, flipping levers and twisting dials. A low–pitched hum throbbed through the earth and vibrated even the tree.
"FEUILLU," said the tree.
"Is that French for leafy?" Gavin asked.
"Yes," Alice said. "He must like the vibrations. I find them most uncomfortable."
"It's a very low C," said Gavin.
"You and your perfect pitch. Good heavens, how I missed you, darling."
Antoine yanked a large lever, and all the other trees snapped to attention. "Destroy them!"
"Uh–oh," Gavin said. "Can you move faster?"
"The tree is trying to follow Antoine's orders instead of mine," Alice replied grimly. "But I seem to be getting the hang of it."
The tree picked up speed even as the other trees—four of them—turned as one and stomped in Alice's wake. Alice, for her part, was guiding their own tree straight toward the perimeter of the glassy greenhouse. Gavin clung to the branch with white fingers. The noise was incredible. Heavy trees thudded across the ground like an army of gods, the vibrations that controlled the others throbbed in Gavin's bones, and Antoine's shrieks chased them faster than a flock of ravens.
"It's still fighting me," Alice shouted. Her arms and legs worked the controls in a blur. "It wants to do what the others are doing."
"How are we going to get out of here?" Gavin called over the noise. "I don't see a door."
"Cover your eyes!" was all Alice said.
"ROCAILLEUX," screamed the tree.
They hit the greenhouse wall. Glass exploded in a thousand directions, and Gavin lurched forward. His feet left the branch, and he was flying through the air. The tree hadn't smashed completely through, and its top third was caught on the remains of the greenhouse. Gavin tumbled forward, but the clockwork plague suddenly took over completely. The universe slowed. Green leaves and glittering glass surrounded him like strange snowflakes. Just below him were the tree's branches, and he was aware of drag coefficient of the bark, which places would slow him down and by how much. He saw every bump and nub, every side branch and twig, and his brain instantly mapped out a route that would take him to safety. Behind him floated Alice, and he calculated the arc of her flight pattern as well, then readjusted his own route accordingly.
The universe burst back into motion, and his body, finally free of its earlier stiffness, turned the dive into controlled leaps and jumps down the tree's branches until he came to rest on solid ground outside the greenhouse exactly where he wanted. Then he whirled and caught Alice. Her helmet flew on without her and cracked against a boulder. Gavin nearly went over backward, but just managed to keep his feet with Alice in his arms. Thank God. He held her tight, feeling her heart pound against his chest. The universe could come to a complete stop now, and he wouldn't mind in the slightest.
"Thank you, kind sir," she gasped, pushing a lock of tousled honey–brown hair out of dark brown eyes. "That quite took my breath away."
"Clockwork reflexes," Gavin said. "I should be in a circus."
The tree was now standing with its lower branches sticking out of the glittering greenhouse, while the upper part was still trapped inside. Behind it stampeded the other trees. Click trotted out of the wreckage, his metal ears back, and the whirligig whizzed overhead, unhurt.
"Now what?" Gavin asked, setting Alice down. "You do have a plan, right?"
She took his hand. "Yes: Run!"
A rutted dirt road twisted through the woods ahead of them, and they sprinted down it. The late–summer breeze should have been uncomfortably warm, but it felt refreshing after the hot, still air of the greenhouse. Behind them, glass smashed and tinkled as the trees hit the side of the greenhouse, but they were tangling up with each other, and they were further hampered by the fact that all of them were making the exact same motions under Antoine's control. Gavin, Alice, and the two little machines rounded a bend in the road, leaving the greenhouse and its howling inhabitant behind.
"Why didn't you have Click cut an exit at ground level instead of coming in through the ceiling?" Gavin puffed.
"The glass is thicker at the base to support weight," Alice pointed out. "It's thin on the roof."
"So where are Dr. Clef and the Lady? Shouldn't they be—?"
A crackling crash brought them up short. From out of the trees beside the road about fifteen feet ahead of them burst a pair of mechanicals. They were nearly two stories tall, with squat, round builds, heavy legs, long arms, and gleaming brass skin. A glass bubble enclosed the top of each. Inside one rode a young man with dark, curly hair that peeked out from around his hat, and inside the other sat a woman in a long skirt, puffy white blouse, and fashionably small hat. The man pointed one of his mechanical's arms at Gavin, and the hand ended in an impressively large gun barrel.
"Aw, no," Gavin groaned. "Simon, Glenda—you aren't serious."
"Surrender, Gavin. You too, Alice," said Simon d'Arco into a speaking tube. His voice, carried outside the bubble, sounded tinny and distant.
"We've got you," the woman added in a similarly tinny voice. "And you know it."
"I know nothing of the sort, Glenda," Alice shot back.
"What if we tell you to piss off, Simon?" Gavin said. "Are you going to shoot me? Squash me? We were partners in the Ward for months." And you were half in love with me, he added silently.
"You destroyed the Ward, Gavin," Simon said. "It's gone now. The Queen herself disbanded it. Our last mission is to arrest you for treason and bring you back for trial."
"Now that you released that cure," Glenda added, "we'll have no more clockworkers to hunt down. The few we have are dead or dying."
"And millions of other people will live," Alice replied hotly. "I don't regret it for a moment."
"You thought of nothing but yourselves," Glenda snapped, showing some agitation. "Nothing! The Ward was everything to me, Alice. I gave you a chance with the Ward and with Gavin, and this is how you repay me?"
"We're not going back to England, Simon," Gavin said. "So are you ready to shoot me?"
"He doesn't have to shoot you," said a voice that made Gavin stiffen. "He only has to delay you. Just like Antoine did, and admirably." From the trees stepped a second woman. Her black hair, only slightly streaked with silver, was pulled into a twist. She wore a blue uniform with hat, boots, and epaulets. The coat was cut to show her left arm, which was entirely mechanical. It also had six fingers. Her name was Lieutenant Susan Phipps.
"In the name of Her Royal Majesty and the Third Ward," Phipps said, "I place you both under arrest for sedition, treason, and attempted murder."
"No," Gavin said, though some of the bravado had left him. Phipps by herself was more imposing than even two agents in mechanicals. He made himself stand upright, though he was sweating under his arms. "Sorry, Lieutenant—Susan—but we all know that Glenda and Simon aren't going to hurt us. We saved you from that doomsday invention Alice's aunt dropped on headquarters. I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but it wasn't very smart to bring those two. You should have brought someone who doesn't know us."
"They're loyal," Phipps said, unruffled, "and won't disappoint me. Unlike some."
Gavin couldn't help flinching at that. When Gavin was only seventeen and stranded in London, Phipps had offered him a position as an agent of the Third Ward. She had seen him through his training, encouraged him, opened doors for him. She had lifted him out of the gutter and handed him the keys to the world, and he had betrayed her.
"I'm . . . sorry, ma'am," Gavin said. "Look, I'm not happy about what I—"
"Oh, shut it, Gavin," Alice interrupted. "We learned the Empire had been keeping the cure locked away to ensure the plague continues creating clockwork geniuses. You let thousands of people die excruciating deaths, Phipps, and have no right to debate morality."
"Thousands more will die because you released the cure," Phipps said. "Because of you, China will have clockworkers for much longer than we, easily long enough to take over the world, and that conflict will cost countless British lives. So come quietly, or come noisily. It makes no difference."
"Noisily?" Gavin said. "What do you mean by—?"
Phipps reached into her pockets with both hands and came up with a pair of tuning forks. Gavin's eye automatically measured their length and thickness with clockwork precision. When struck, they would produce the notes D and A–flat. For the second time that day, his blood chilled.
"Run!" Alice screamed, but it was too late. Phipps clanged the forks together. The two notes rang down the road. Dual vibrations tore ugly ripples through the air faster than Gavin could react, and the discordant interval, a tritone, slammed into his brain. The noise made its own string of numbers inside his head, and they spun around him, refusing to coalesce into anything that made sense. A tritone has, at its base, the square root of two, and it is the only musical interval that is expressed as an irrational number, a number that does not truly exist, and yet at that moment it did exist in the sound Gavin was hearing. The paradox that he could hear so clearly tore at his mind and made his head dizzy with pain. He clapped his hands over his ears, but the sound was too loud to shut out.
He was vaguely aware of Alice shouting something, and he heard clunky mechanical footsteps. Hard metal hands scooped him up. The tritone began to fade, then clanged again, and Gavin cried out in fresh pain as an explosion rocked his body.

Ellen & P!nk are SO funny together. If P!nk's "people" ever do another Rapid Fire Trivia, Ellen NEEDS to be the moderator! It would be so much funnier (and besides, P!nk seemed to be irritated with the last lady asking the questions) "Here Comes The..." is one of my new favorite songs, too. I just loved the whole thing! Maybe P!nk should become a regular fixture on the Ellen Show?!?!? But don't edit stuff out, people...a joke is a joke!
Hey lozza81! I didn't realize you got to meet her! Damn girl - you're luckyyyyyy. But let me guess, 8 years was worth the wait, right?!?! (Glad to see a picture of who I've been "talking" too, as well!)
Just wanted to thank you again for the links. Hope we didn't start a problem!!! I can't figure out how you guys get different songs we've never even heard of in the States. Oh well...like I said before, I really appreciate you doing that. Feel free to email me if you've got anything else cool or want to know if there is something I can do to return the favor: firstname.lastname@example.com ...just put something "P!nk" in the subject line so I don't delete it. Thanks again, Rachel.
I don't play your rules, I make my own!

Last Updated: 17th February 2014
Working with top dancers and our in house designer the X-Pole range has been at the forefront of pole innovation releasing products specifically designed for people who want to pursue the art of pole exercise and dance.
An X-Pole is not a gimmick to dance round it is part of a range of purpose built professional poles and stages designed to be used by all levels, from beginner to expert. X-Poles are installed and used by top dancers in studios and gyms all over the world.
Key features of ALL X-Pole sets are:
X-Joint – (Patent Pending)
The X-Joint is a revolutionary NEW tube joint developed after 2 years of consultation and testing with the worlds best instructors who wanted a quick, easy to install pole with hi-stabillity/rigidity and most importantly strength. X-Joint 100% meets those requirements and will in the future become the industry standard for multi-piece pole assembly.
After years of fighting to do up and undo screw together joints, X-Joint tube assembly takes seconds not minutes. It creates a stronger more rigid joint with less pole flex and eliminates any possibility of tube to tube rotation or joints coming undone with opposite rotation moves. Also X-Jointed pole tubes have zero transition (no gap) between joints even when the pole is flexed.
Simple to use, the X-Joint slides into each pole tube and is quickly locked in place with a key, making pole assembly and disassembly a dream experience. X-Joint is now featured in all new X-Pole and Stages.
BOTTOM LOADING, STATIC ONLY POLE (with X-Joints)
The X-Pole Team have spent a significant amount of time researching, designing the SPORT POLE. Developed with beginner pole dancers in mind, whilst also being suitable for Professionals, the SPORT is extremely sturdy as well being easy to install and use.
Incorporating the revolutionary new X-Joint, assembly and installation of the SPORT very quick, enhanced even further by its bottom tightening adjuster (bottom loading) which means no ladders are required for installation.
With features and technology far in advance of many more expensive poles the SPORT is the perfect starting point for any newcomer to pole dancing - and its best feature - it is great value for money as well.
SPORT (XS) Key Features:
THE WORLD'S FIRST BOTTOM LOADING SPINNING AND STATIC POLE (with X-Joints)
The XPERT is the world's first 'bottom loading', static and spinning dance pole. Designed with Professional Dancers and Pole Tricks in mind the XPERT incorporates all the features required to meet the demands of the world's best.
Bottom loading, no longer is a ladder needed for installation, the XPERT uses X-Poles unique OEM adjuster system to expand and fully lock the pole in position, whilst the dancer stays firmly on the ground. No locking nut to come undone.
The XPERT also incorporates a special adjuster cover which when in place, creates a totally smooth pole from top to bottom. No sharp pole edge or screw adjuster to scrape arms and legs, no cover edges to hit, just smooth pole all the way. It even features a Micro Base for minimum contact.
XPERT (XX) Key Features:
For existing X-Pole owners a cost effective XPERT upgrade unit is available which replaces their current adjuster pole. All the other parts, upper dome, base, extensions etc. are used as normal.

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.
Posted by Jessica on 11th Oct 2013
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.
Posted by karen, ottawa, canada on 7th Feb 2013
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!
Posted by Unknown on 16th Jan 2013
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.
Posted by Unknown on 24th Aug 2012
i love my xpole xpert and they shipped way faster than they said they would, easy to instal and its really solid, couldn't be happier!
Posted by Jennifer on 7th Jul 2012
I got the XPERT last , I m extremely happy with the Service and Product.
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!
Posted by Andrea Dunlop on 4th Mar 2011
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!)
