I hit my head a lot. (Explains the brain damage) My ceiling’s only 8 foot. Thinking about a pole for the garage. But like in Veena’s climb lesson, sliding down does work fine for training purposes. In some ways doing that helps more, which I notice when I get on a taller pole.

Spoke with Randy today.
Had to take it apart. Did get to learn how it works! Evidently the bushings inside the main pipe are too close together. The inner bushing should be inserted another several inches in. They will send me a tool and another bushing. Sounds pretty easy to fix when it gets hear.
Only took less than five minutes to take apart and find the issue. Seemed like very nice people and quick to get assistance. -
Amazing website & community! Being six years old and growing shows a lot.
Hate to complain (but that’s me!) but why are you giving us a gift? Shouldn’t we be giving you something. After all, six years of not only great lessons, discussions & videos at a more than reasonable cost but awesome support and encouragement to all of us working towards our individual goals.
Happy Birthday!

This feels like there is definite play between the two tubes no matter where or how you grab the pole with little effort. One finger can make it vibrate. Not an occasional anything. It seems like the threads don’t match well at all. That is why I don’t feel perfectly comfortable with it.
The mount on the top and the adjuster attached to it are solid as is the bottom. -
littlemy707342 already asked for it.
Thanks for playing. -
I have a Rollerball which I think is the same thing. Don’t remember where I got it from. Don’t use it anymore.
First person to send me a mailing address can have it.

I was very careful what I ate for the last thirty years. Not exactly paleo because I did eat some whole grain foods & others but close to it. Just tried to eat healthy, never following any specific diet.
Unfortunately a few years ago was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease (not caused by diet) which has gotten worse the last couple of years as not responding well to medicines. My diet for almost the past year was cottage cheese, plain yogurt, soft-boiled eggs, bottles of boost/ensure, protein shakes, ripe bananas. That was it. Just a few weeks ago was allowed to add back other foods although have found some I still cannot tolerate. Somewhat funny that the GI doctors recommend avoiding a lot of “healthy foods” and stay with processed foods because of my Crohn’s. Have to switch to a new med and hoping it works with no side-effects. Had to stop the last med as the effects caused other problems which also kept me off the pole or any exercise.
What I have learned (including Nutrition training after my Person Trainer cert) over the years is its not really important to follow a specific diet. Its what is healthy & works for Yourself. What is a good, healthy, easy-to-follow diet for one person will not work for another. Some people need more protein and some need much less. Fats & carbs are IMPORTANT to a diet, not to be avoided totally. The amounts again are different for each. Whole grains are good, just not for Crohn’s.
What often happens with the different branded diets comes down to one thing: watching what you eat. Its usually not the diet itself but that people are looking at the foods and amounts they eat while avoiding foods they should not eat. This does not apply to the McDonald’s Super Size meal diet 🙂
Of course, for weight loss, it should be diet as well as exercise. Look at all the diet infomercials and the fine print is: AND EXERCISE.Now that I can try other foods, have had pizza three times, chicken hot dogs twice so eating to enjoy and not what’s healthy. A hamburger (one of my three favorites) caused issues but enjoying what food I can for now. Healthy eating has a different meaning for each of us. This weekend gonna get another cheese pizza!

This is actually a fairly common problem not just for pole. Gaffer’s tape (not duct tape) or wig tape works real well. Always keep both in my camera bag.
Gaffer’s tape is very sticky so removing the adhesive needs alcohol, baby oil or wd40 I also carry.
Wig tape you need to make sure the skin is clean then it will stick real good. Use it often for bodybuilder shoots where they have tan spray or posing oils and have to clean the skin before or wig tape won’t stick. -
This pole was outside of my hotel.
Are any of you smokers?

Saw this today on FB and it is very appropriate for this discussion. -

Pictures please? -
Is there a world record for highest pole dancing? Anyone interested in setting one?
Could find a building that would allow it I am sure. -
If you have the problem if you can post the version of windows, version of your browser it might to see if there is something in common.
-
If you have audio but no video, try restarting your browser. Some people get this especially with chrome and restarting restarts the video drivers in the browser. Or try another browser.

That’s usually a server error, not on your end. The manifest is a file on the website that points to the video player and the video streams. Might have been moved or edited recently? Otherwise can be the url’s are incorrect but that again is from the server either the site or from the hosting hosting server.

I still have Dr. Appointments tomorrow. What kind of doctor Should I ask for that treats polesotanitis?
Now I did see potentially a fabulous place. The pole (antenna maybe?) on top of the building across the street with a view of the entire city. Tell me that would not be great?

Lina:
Hope the situation is resolved.These discussions on here are great even if we do not always agree, whether unfortunate topics like this or whether SS, Chrome, TG or powder coat is the best pole coating. (Its Chrome. No wait Powder coated. or maybe SS!) What I like is everything being discussed with yes All the different opinions. On Facebook you only get people clicking the Like button or extremely brief no-substance comments. It also seems that many on here divulge more about themselves than other sites including failures. Cannot explain how helpful it is to see others doing the same move mistakes as me and then the comments with corrections not to mention the confidence encouraged by everyone.
Thank You! -
It sounds like you are maybe quoting the law. I don’t have time right now to look it up as I pool sprang a major leak. But in practice when it goes to court they indeed look for a finding of fear of violence. The laws are often written in vague language on purpose. Especially in the UK a lot is left to a magistrate’s discretion.
My concern for Lina is first that the situation with this guy does not escalate. Second, that her position with her company is not jeopardized.
I do agree as a co-worker that itself does not give him a right to her PRIVATE FB postings only after she removes him as a FB friend. But anything that is public (which includes if a FB friend shares a Private post) is for the entire planet including him.
Cannot say what her work will think for any action taken unless you ask them (HR) BEFORE the action. Without knowing her company’s specific policies it is sheer speculation.We are disagreeing on direction but really along the same line. Looking out for a fellow poler. Thank You for thinking about us!

Lina:
Even though HR is not at your location you could still call them and I still recommend doing that before hand. Phone calls are treated the same as an in-person meeting.Tropicalpole:
The HR company policies generally cover the workplace only and not the rest of the world. While it may be he waited to contact because he is afraid of rejection, it might also be a case that he is not doing anything at the workplace where he would be violating those company policies. If you run into a fellow worker at a bar and they hit on you, you probably can’t the next day complain at work as it was not at the workplace. If they broke a law you can contact the police but its rarely considered a work incident.
As for laws like European harassment laws for instance in the UK & Germany: there must be a fear of violence and the offender must know they are causing such fear. Stalking laws need to show a pattern as long as there was no reciprocation but adding him as a FB friend then it is not considered stalking.You also asked: “What right to see her doing spits in brief shorts and major suggestive remarks does he have?”
Actually laws all over the world have been tested in the past twenty years. I deal with this kind of things through my work. The decision EVERYWHERE I know of is that if you put something online, you have given away the rights to limit who views it. So as the saying goes, Do not post anything online that you do not want everyone to see.
Facebook specifically has a policy that states your information WILL BE PUBLIC and can be shared by other people to be made public even if you have limited through privacy settings. Especially in this case when he was added as a FB friend he has the right to view her FB posts. Going back to what I stated earlier, we should be more vigilant on whom we add as FB friends.Even on this website within the TOS https://www.studioveena.com/user_registrations/tos
it states:c. By posting any Content to the public areas of the Website, you hereby grant to StudioVeena.Com the non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, publicly perform and display such Content on the Website. This license will terminate at the time you remove such Content from the Website.
https://www.studioveena.com/user_registrations/tosI do not see this website making any use of people’s postings anywhere but this reserves their right and is quite common and correct.

The man involved never brought it to work. The first person to bring it to work will probably be considered the antagonist, man or woman.
Here is a sample from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) which is International and does training, certification and study of Human Resources. Most HR people are members.
http://www.shrm.org/TemplatesTools/Samples/Policies/Pages/CMS_000537.aspx
While this is a sample it is based on SHRM recommended policies and is considered standard practice by many companies including my own. While somewhat subjective there are two things that if she approaches him at work would come into play:1) The Company prohibits employees from violating this right of their co-workers.
2) Therefore, the Company prohibits employees from harming or threatening to harm other employees, clients, vendors, visitors or property belonging to any of these parties.While he may have started the situation, it has not to this point been at the workplace. Although a specific workplace may or may not think that what he did already violated these rules. That is why it would be safer to speak with Human Resources rather than run the risk that She would be the violator and risk being fired. Human Resources will keep any conversation in confidence and be able to state what is the best way to deal with the situation.
It is not a question of who might be offended but the organizations policies if she brings it to work. -
Bringing it up at your workplace here in the states can be grounds for being fired without warning. One thing he has done correctly it sounds like is avoiding anything at the workplace. Even though he may have initiated things, most companies have policies concerning bring personal matters to the workplace and it is considered a form of workplace harassment if you confront him at a place of business.
If your company has a Human Resources (why is there never a dog or monkey Resources?) or Personnel Department you might consider asking there what to do if the situation might make it into the workplace. -
From a professional viewpoint yes you can ignore and remove him as a FB friend. Your personal FB account is just that: Personal. If he does not treat you professionally when working together than he is not a professional.
Sending him a direct response sometimes is fine but often is seen as confrontational. A long time ago I was on the bad side of a domestic situation. Afterwards the phone calls came in regularly and even bizarre answering machine messages. This was before Caller ID. The police had advised me to change my phone number as unlisted immediately and not in any way confront them as that was more likely to make things much worse.

I recommend you remove him as a FB friend in addition to not responding to messages. He should be professional when dealing with him professionally. I clear my friends list every few months. Only people I have some sort of REAL connection with. People from my long ago past are not FB friends nor are acquaintances. The exception is if there is a interest that is being shared like I have people online only sharing photography or music info (similar to this website) and do not talk to offline. Used to have some bandmates as FB friends from bands I was in years ago. When no real even online relationship developed I removed them from my friends list. I do have several business FB pages so the “generic population” can connect through them.
People get too caught up with the number of FB friends (twitter followers, etc.) they have so, feel they have to add everyone that requests. You can buy FB friends ($30/thousand) or for any social media. Does that really impress anyone but yourself? And either way then you are exposing your personal information to many people you don’t really know and do not know what they will use that information for. You are better treating your personal social media accounts like you would your personal lives.
