"Know Thyself" is the ancient Greek aphorism.  There are those who have abused alcohol, food, debt, facebook, World of Warcraft and hundreds of other things to the detriment of their families.  By knowing yourself you will know the decisions you have to make when coming into contact with potentially harmful situations, unique to you.  Despite the fact that online games have caused parents to ignore their children until they starved to death http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/05/korean-girl-starved-online-game online games are still legal, as they should be.

Having been on the hiring end of things several times I would suggest that you find another job first.  Employment breaks are huge red flags to employers and they will generally ask you to explain why you left one position before procuring another.

Generally shipping takes roughly five business days and you will receive a tracking number once its on the FedEx truck.

@larenbaker – We sell our poles directly through X-Pole.  The return policy is the same as any other X-Pole vendor, which is that if the pole is received damaged in any way you can exchange the part or entire pole depending on what X-Pole deems neccessary to the situation.

We even use PayPal as our method of payment which means you get the same buyer protection.  The only difference between us and anyone else you'll buy from is that we've arrange to offer free shipping which saves you $40 on any pole you order.

@XhavokX – Typically it only takes one business day to get shipping info however order volume is ramping up at X-Pole and it has been taking longer.  I will email you the shipping info as soon as I receive it.  I apologize for any invonvenience.

[Webmaster]

I think this is fixed now.  Can you confirm you are getting notifications?

[Webmaster]

I'm checking into this as I am not receiving notifications either.

[Webmaster]

I have verified both of you are receiving the emails. Please check your spam folders.  There is usually a "not spam" button when you view your emails in the spam folder.

So it turns out that it was in fact not a hacker.  Godaddy has realeased a statement explaining failure of their network, so the Anonymous user who was bragging about it may very well have been lying.  This however does not change our reasons for moving our DNS servers.  Godaddy's current architecture provides a single point of failure which we find to be unnacceptable.  Our new DNS host will provide a much more stable platform for DNS.

Here is the quote from a Godaddy representative:

Yesterday, GoDaddy.com and many of our customers experienced intermittent service outages starting shortly after 10 a.m. PDT. Service was fully restored by 4 p.m. PDT. The service outage was not caused by external influences. It was not a "hack" and it was not a denial of service attack (DDoS). We have determined the service outage was due to a series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables. Once the issues were identified, we took corrective actions to restore services for our customers and GoDaddy.com. We have implemented measures to prevent this from occurring again.

I would love to see the PFA and IPSF publish this judging criteria as all other sports organizations do.  

I actually think that transparency is one of our sport's biggest problems.  People talk loud, but they want you to get on board before they'll share anything with you.  

I would actually love to see someone issue regulations as an RFC(Request For Comment).  This is how standards in most industries and sports are handled.  Specifications and requirements are posted publicly with a time frame for commentary and suggestions.  The benefit of this is that, as the document sponsor, you don't have to accept any of the commentary but you at least have the option and are giving the community you are supporting the ability to weigh in.

So I guess my question is does this:

"This method is really beautiful, and we will be offering it to all PFA events to use,"

mean that this criteria and methodology is sequestered until you decide to become a PFA event and get on board? Or are we able to examine said criteria and decide based on its merits whether we want to be PFA organizations, studios and dancers?  In my mind there is only one right answer.
