You will still destroy your ring. While it may not mark your pole it will deform under the pressure. It may also cause premature ripping of the gloves, no matter which you get. Those gloves are designed to give you better grip, not protect jewelry.

Bad Ringo!!
When we dog sit the boys dog she is horrible for stealing underwear and chewing them up. Luckily I do not have that issue with my pups.

Look up any of the women that competed in the lasters division on Midwest this year…they are all over 40: http://www.midwestpoledancing.com/Finalists.htm
There is also a group on facebook called Grande Dames that is all pole people over 40.
Shelly Lamb is in her 40's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDIzVD2zrnk&feature=related

Emotioncatcher I think is about an hour from you (maybe 2) and Caramel Delight is also in Heidelberg. Those two are still quite active on the forum.

PoleDanceABCs was from your area but has not been on it a few years.

Oh, yeah, everyone…it is Jessie's birthday this weekend! Please be sure to SPANK AWAY when you see her!!!!!

But not for a dollar.

What were you doing awake at 1am darling Jessie??

Charley does it all…..for a price……Bwahahahahaha!!!!!

Understandable. RK's are being touted as a fat burner so it is not surprising to me that some companies are blending it with other known fat burners.
-
Ephedrine is still safe when taken properly (and is still legal outside of the US). You have an issue when people start taking mass quantities of it. Not much different than downing a bunch of red bulls.

When it comes to supplements, Swanson, NOW and Source Naturals are probably some of the best manufacturers out there. Swansons Razberi K is only $3.79 for 60 pills of 100 mg and you can generally find discount codes for them. I try to stay away from any of the "fad" manufacturers.

Are your arms bent when you are in your tuck? If they are not then there is no way you can lean back as your arms have no extension.

Call XPole. They have a lot of parts that can be purchased that they do not show online. As far as I know you can replace any part of the pole.

I knew Charley was not going to say anything about this, but she organizes one serious showcase. I have been trying to get out to one for the last few years but I will NOT miss the one in 2013!!
I am also looking forward to attending some of the Head over Heels events in North Carolina.
I enjoy showcases and jams. While comps and big conventions are neat I just think it would be too much for my brain to process, let alone so much going on that I would be bummed if I missed something.

If you are going for ice cream Jeni's is the only option. I would also highly recommend Pistacia Vera in Germantown if you want something amazing.

Veena is much more in the heart of pole dancers now…. ((cough))((cough))

There were a few other newsletters but they did not have interviews.

Veena actually used to do this quite a while back. I remember seeing an interview with Amber (before she was the Amber we all know) and also I think with Joel. Don't remember who else she had interviewed.

I have reached out to pretty much all of the instructors in the NE Ohio area. A lot of instructors just do not take the time to pole for themselves. They in turn have referred/brought students. There used to be a bar we would try to go to on a weeknight…sometimes there would be a few of us, sometimes more. We have also gone to each others houses or sometimes the studio. I have a standing open pole on Monday nights at one of the studios and I have the keys to the place so I lock up when we are done. One of the other studios has a monthly jam. I have also reached out to pretty much every NE Ohio person on this board and invited them into the Ohio Peace and Pole and also the NE Ohio Pole group on facebook. You may want to see if there is an Arizona Peace and Pole and reach out to people on that.
As for looking for people with the same abilities, that will be difficult. Everyone progresses differently. Some times it is just nice to have a spotter for that crazy move you want to try.

This is the abstract from the published research from 2005:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15862604# 2005 May 27;77(2):194-204. Epub 2005 Feb 25.
Anti-obese action of raspberry ketone.

Abstract
Raspberry ketone (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one; RK) is a major aromatic compound of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus). The structure of RK is similar to the structures of capsaicin and synephrine, compounds known to exert anti-obese actions and alter the lipid metabolism. The present study was performed to clarify whether RK helps prevent obesity and activate lipid metabolism in rodents. To test the effect on obesity, our group designed the following in vivo experiments: 1) mice were fed a high-fat diet including 0.5, 1, or 2% of RK for 10 weeks; 2) mice were given a high-fat diet for 6 weeks and subsequently fed the same high-fat diet containing 1% RK for the next 5 weeks. RK prevented the high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight and the weights of the liver and visceral adipose tissues (epididymal, retroperitoneal, and mesenteric). RK also decreased these weights and hepatic triacylglycerol content after they had been increased by a high-fat diet. RK significantly increased norepinephrine-induced lipolysis associated with the translocation of hormone-sensitive lipase from the cytosol to lipid droplets in rat epididymal fat cells. In conclusion, RK prevents and improves obesity and fatty liver. These effects appear to stem from the action of RK in altering the lipid metabolism, or more specifically, in increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis in white adipocytes.

I just realized that I never linked the study….duh. Atrophex in general, not just the raspberry ketones. It has a blend of "mood and mental optimizers". http://www.bsnonline.net/details/atrophex.html
I am on a really really really slow internet connection at a campground so I can't even find the link right now. I will try when we get back home.

This was the study from back in 2005 that prompted a possibiliry. Back in 2005 ephedrine was still available so it was not that big of a deal. Seeing as ECl is not easily available in the states and that the FDA is going after those that have geranamine (1,3 dimethylamylamine), RK is gaining in popularity again.
I will say that I get raspberry burps (similar to fish oil burps but much more pleasant). Also, as a TMI, there was a company that had made a lube that was silicone and RK's that was amazing. They sold it as a lube and as a massage oil. As a topical it brings more blood to the surface making those areas much more sensitive. I will just leave it there.
For about 2 years they were hard to come by but it looks as if there are lots of sources now.

I have taken both. I currently have Svetol from Swanson vitamins but I do not feel and have not seen any appreciable anything from it. I have a girlfriend who is very sensitive to caffeine who can only take a small amount and it has kept her lean when she was going through a lot of stress (she is low BF to start). Also, Starbucks now has their "Refreshers" drinks that have it. It is supposed to be a great antioxidant, too.
I have also taken raspberry ketones but mixed with other fat loss agents. It has been around for quite some time and I am kind of proud to say that I know some of the guys that broke this into the supplement industry. It had been around for at least 5 years, if not longer. BSN Atrophex contains it and that is my going out pill. About 30 minutes after taking it I can actually feel a total sense of happiness come over me. It is weird but I can seriously feel when it kicks in. It makes me much more socialable and dampens the effect of alcohol on me. I have not tried it for weight loss….wait, maybe I did but about 10 days in I started getting ansy.
I can try and dig up some information about them.

There was someone looking for it earlier this year also. There are so few copies that actually got sent that I think you are going to have a really really really hard time finding one.
