I would suggest trying to work with your neighbors, either make personal visits to a manager at each office or invite them all to an open house. Try and establish a dialog with each location, oftentimes this is all it takes to create a good working relationship.
I would warn you to be very careful about making assumptions about their prejudice. While this is common it can setup boundaries to communication that can be difficult to overcome.

This thread has gotten a touch off topic. If it could be reigned in to a polite discussion of Canadian competitions rather than a back and forth argument it would be greatly appreciated.
I would also encourage people to be careful with one of the topics here. The law of trademark rules worldwide, there is no disputing it unless you have prior art showing that you used a name or concept first.

@emotioncatcher – You are allowed to post pretty much anything in the forum. Even youtube links to your own tutorials. What we don't allow is upload of tutorials to our video system.

So is everyone in Vegas a Vegan then? I like my critters for supper, I don't know if I can deal with that 🙂

@Jlynn87 – If you are considering legal action you should never post this in a public forum. This weakens your position. Consider that if the user is following the forums they now know for a certainty that a cease and desist letter is almost certainly a bluff and even if you do take them to court you lack the funds to pay a lawyer for more than a couple days.
From a different perspective, libel and slander cases are quite often more trouble than they are worth. You generally have to prove intent, and also have to prove that the statements are false. It becomes a he said she said situation that does nothing for the reputation of either party.
The best response in almost every case is just to ignore it, rise above it. As a wise man once said, "There is no such thing as bad publicity".

Thanks guys, it can be hard work but it is so rewarding to see the community grow and expand through Studio Veena.

Don't forget our chat room has a group video/voice feature so you can get together there and have big 'ol pole jams whenever you want!!! 🙂

@k2weller – Curious is right, any iPhone app should run on an iPad. Pocket Pole is however not built for the iPad so the application will either run small or large and pixelated depending on how you prefer to run it.
Our site has specially encoded videos for tablets however. If you get our lessons you will get hi-res video on your iPad along with full audio and instruction. This does require an internet connection though.

@vipergal – Our website works on some Blackberries but not others you will have to test it, it depends on your phone hardware and the Operating System version you are running. Just go to StudioVeena.Com in your phones web browser and try it out.
-
Just wanna plug our site here. Our site is mobile enabled (you can see the details at the bottom of the screen on the right column. When you purchase the lessons you can watch them on your iPhone and most Android phones without installing another app on your phone. Plus our lessons have full audio explanations on how to execute each move. It's like an app only 1 million times better.

I should mention that these changes are only in the lessons section right now. I will be adding them to the member videos over the coming weeks.
@Madfelice – Other browsers have supported the neccessary functionality since their 3.x versions which were all released around 3 to 4 years ago so the great majority of people will have upgraded their browsers.

Google Plus and the +1 button are two different things. The +1 is more a ranking tool than a sharing tool and does not require that you are setup on Google+ it simply requires that you have a Google account.
@nymphdancer – Google+ has minor security issues, as does facebook, everyone simply likes to blow them out of proportion. Google uses a central authorization scheme so it's not that they have "setup an account" but more that if you have a Gmail account you have instant access to all their properties rather than having to go through a signup process with each one.

@Water – you just cancel your current subscription using the cancel link on the Account page, then when your subscription runs out you can upgrade to the year memebership.

I apologize, I did actually find a problem, you may now get a few notices in your email.

@sensualscimitar – I just verified everything on our side all the way back the the system mail send logs. The Emails are being sent and accepted by your ISP's servers.

The forum is the place to post links. As long as you aren't spamming other threads or creating inordinate amounts of threads about your site we encourage people to share information about their businesses and undertakings.

@Semisweetdreams – While we have entertained the idea of an app we are not quite there yet. What I can tell you is that there is an iPhone and iPad browser that will allow you to upload photos call iCab. I believe it is .99 in the app store.
Unfortunately it does not allow the upload of videos to our site at this time but it is one step in the right direction.

This is a very old thread, please contact me using the contact form or by sending me an email on the site to help resolve issues.
-
@DobieDaze – Please try watching a video in a different browser a couple good ones are Firefox at http://www.firefox.com and Chrome at http://www.google.com/chrome . If that doesn't work contact me directly, this is an old thread that has been resolved.

Lonestardiva – Your inconsistent results are most likely the result of your Internet provider Clear. I would also scan your computer for infections as that is generally what will inhibit plugin functionality such as flash.

@PowerTwirl – Here are some tutuorials on removing backgrounds http://www.sitepoint.com/masking-techniques-photoshop/

If you are a student or in an educational profession Adobe does provide a student purchase program where you can get their products for as little as $99 each and if you can't afford that I strongly suggest calling Adobe, they are all about supporting the educational community and strive to get their products legitimately into people's hands.

@tarah – I turned your notifications back on. They were turned off as we received a spam notification from your email account and by law we have to honor the request to stop sending you email. We get these notifications if you press the spam button in your email account, this is often an accident but we prefer to stay on the proper side of the law 🙂 Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

@sensualclimber – Most retouching or lightroom work can be done at a basic level by tools you may already have such as iPhoto on Mac and the new tools found in Windows 7. Retouching includes things like, removing blemishes, fixing redeye, changing color balance.
Composition work however requires more robust tools. To remove a background or composite photos in a meaningful way you will need a tool such as Photoshop or The Gimp. The Gimp is free but has a tremendous learning curve and less sophisticated tools. Photoshop is very expensive, has a similiarily high learning curve but far more sophisticated tools that can do magic things such as erase items from a picture fairly simply.
