    There are screws that are hidden by the adjuster cover, tehre are screws that put it into spin mode and there are screws that are just above where the adjuster cover site.  You should not touch the ones that are right above the adjuster cover.  You need to lower the cover and loosen those screws if you are trying to adjust the height of your pole.  When you tighten them make sure that they line up with the channels in the threaded piece.  To put it in spin mode you unscrew the hex that lines up with the X on the base of the pole.

    Sometimes we need to take a step back, breathe and get a clear head, and let our emotions settle down.  I hope whatever decision you amke turns out for the best.

     

    And post on glassdoor.  I cannot tell you how valuable a site that is for job seekers.

    These are typically what is considered wrongeful termination.  I would look up your state and make a determination from there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_dismissal

    Make a post on glassdoor about the company.  What would you gain from a lawsuit besides a sense of "getting back at them"?  Do you have the disposable income/time to hire a lawyer and fight this? Again, there is no law on the books that states employment is a contract.  Just like the breakup of a bad relationship……if you keep dwelling on it it means that they won.

    I don't mean to sound witchy here, just really think about if it is worth putting your energy into this or into finding a better fitting job.

    First question: is it really worth fighting for?  It seems like you were unhappy while working there.  There is no law on any books that states an employer has to even give you a reasson for termination and I think you will have a hard time finding a lawyer that will take your case.

    Yes they do but they need to be reinforced.  In this application I would talk to Poledanzer.

    I keep the tubes on all of my extensions and joints but not on the long pole sections.

    My massage therapist is always commenting about my muscle tone.  I think she enjoys beating me up.

    Casey, trust me, I was in your shoes until I was corrected.  I kept calling it dangerous brain too.  Here is the thread where I was corrected (I even stated it was a typo):

    Wonder how much air pressure is needed to get it on.  And yes, they really should let people know this before they sink money into it.  Wonder how you are supposed to get the thing back off?

    I would think you could buy a cheapo air mattress inflater and that might work?

    I cannot say that any particular style of move excites me but the execution is what does it.  I was just as in awe of Felix's elbow stand back bend and Alethea's slow sultry moves as I was in Becca Butchers drops or Samantha Star's strength.  Most of what puts me in awe is entries/exits from moves that I never thought were possible or things that make me go back and watch it 15 times just to figure it out.  I remember last year Marlo had a performance where she was wrapped in saran wrap and she did this split grip shoulder mount thing that just totally floored me.  I would never have thought an entrance like that was even possible, let alone done with such ease.

    Dark Pixie is a Dangerous Brian/Dangerous Bridge variation.

    Looks like a variation of a dark pixie.  I think I have seen it but have limited search capabilities at work.

    It depends on the style of the PSA's.  If they are the screw together poles then their value is not a whole lot because even PS admits they were not a good design.  You may be able to get $200-300 a piece if they are in good condition.  Probably $400-500 if they are the snap together kind.

     

    The pricing on the snap lock depends on what material they are.  New you are looking at about $4-5 a square foot for the wooden ones, less for the carpeted ones.

    February 28, 2013 at 7:10 pm in reply to: Short leg scorpio pain

    For me it was better when I concentrated on really laying back.  The twisting a bit just made my thigh hurt even more.  But I can also see that if you are not extending the back and are still crunched a bit the pain in both the outer shin and inner thigh is pretty intense.

    I am going to go play in a little bit and will report back.  I would think bend the torso into the pole to take more pressure in your side.

    As in where the pole hits your outer shin?  I woudl need to try this when I get home, but have you tried twisting/bending your torso just a bit?  The main points really should be inner thigh and side but if you are getting pain in the outer leg that tells me you have too much pressure pushing outwards trying to keep you on the pole.

    On a funny side note, I work with a bunch of giants.  There are 3 or 4 guys here that are 6'6" or taller.  My company party 2 years ago I wore really high heels with stacks and someone snapped a picture of all of us standing together.    I am 5'8" and I think the heels were about 5" with a 1" stack.

    Cap, I have one pair of beeter boots that I use when I am training or practicing and that is it.  The only time I wear my fun shoes is for a performance or if we are going to a club.  And I usually get bummed every time the day after when I see the scratches.
