    You will have no surprise Duty fees when you purchase from us.  Our X-Poles ship directly from X-Pole's Canadian warehouse.  In short what you pay at checkout is what it takes to get the pole from the warehouse to your living room.

    I'd like to provide a little objective input on the music issue.  I feel you should purchase your licenses, there are things in the works that will make this easier.

    However, if you have not purchased your licenses and are just now setting it up, please don't worry too much about the repurcussions of past usage.  History shows us that once you are discovered the licensing companies simply call you and ask you to comply by purchasing the license effective for the date of the call.  There is no history of lawsuits except for those who refuse to comply.

    There is an interesting exception to this rule however.  As long as your facility is under 3750 square feet you can use radio and television broadcast with no cost, this includes both terrestrial and sattelite sources.  So if you need a specific song or beat you are out of luck but if a SiriusXM radio will do for your needs it can be an effective music source.  Also of note is the fact that SiriusXM will sometimes give businesses free subscriptions if you make it clear that your customers are listening to the service.

    @nymph – Have you tried spellcheck on another browser?  I ask because the most common cause of a javascript lockup (the language the spellcheck is written in) are several browser plugins that hijack your javascript engine, which in general is a no-no because of the potential for error.

    There is a spellcheck button on the post editor. Once you save the post it is immutable to maintain the conversational flow.

    Creating an event is as simple as going to the events page and clicking the add event link. 🙂

    I think it’s important to note that the negative stories you hear about Craig’s list, while unfortunate, are extreme edge cases. Each of the very few stories are one out of millions upon millions of users. It is more likely that you will be killed by falling airplane debris or lightning than by applying for a job on Craig’s list.

    Always use common sense but don’t let media sensationalism scare you away from a very valuable resource.

    Craigslist is one of the top ways to procure a job now.  It's not as scary as everyone makes it out to be.  Just keep in mind that most legitimate positions will not ask you to submit to an email address but instead will link through to the companies website with a hiring portal and method for submitting your resume.

    @Spinny – This is not the first time we have had to warn you about your behavior in our forum.  I believe last time I had to delete your account.  Claims of copyright infringement are considered libel in most areas of the world unless they are backed by the express ruling of a court of law.

    This thread started as a user telling us about something she thought would be useful or interesting to the community. Have we ever deleted forum posts like that? No.

    TO ALL: I respectfully request that any further posts to this thread be constrained to the jewelry itself.

    @Lizzy – I understand but your direct comparison between your performance and Timber Brown's was misleading and should anyone take it to heart could endanger someone who wanted to try and do moves like Timber on an SSA.  Physically there is no way that the SSA could stand up to Timber's performance, its mathematically impossible and I don't believe a 9 foot option is even offered for the SSA.

    That is of course not to say that the X-Stage is any better than the SSA any more than one could say a Chevy Suburban is a better vehicle than Chevy Volt.  They are two different products with different purposes or potential values.

    It is a fact that the X-Stage in both light and standard models will withstand a more aggressive, heavier and dynamic dancer than the SSA will.  This has VERY little to do with the overall weight of the pole and much more to do with the how it handles leverage.  The weight of modern stage poles is largely a function of the mechanical infrastructure required to offset the forces created by the dancer.

    Once again, does this mean X-Stage is better than SSA?  The answer is not so simple, it all depends on who you are and what your purpose and preferences are.  The Chevy Suburban will pull a tree out of the ground but the Chevy Volt will get you back and forth to work far less expensively and will guarantee you a parking spot, which is better?  The answer: It depends.

    This is a leverage and center of gravity question. Its a physics question.

    Assuming you weigh 120 lbs and your hand never gripped higher than 5 ft and the stage's radius is 3 ft you never exerted more than 240 lbs of force within the physical system and generally less since your more violent attacks were below the three foot mark which essentially nullifies the potential mechanical advantage provided by the leverage of the pole. And since the angle of the force you create stays well within the circumference of the base you were never in any danger of tipping the pole.

    Assuming Timber Brown weighs about 150 lbs and he was at the top of a 9 foot pole he was exerting a minimum of 900 lbs of force which is a significant difference, and then take into account the fact that the direction of the force he creates travels well outside the circumference of the stage and I think you can see that the comparison is not quite adequate.

    While we appreciate your attempt to demonstrate the safety of a specific pole it is important to note that any stage pole can tip or rock. Each pole has physical use tolerances that can be figured out mathematically. Know your equipment and what it is capable of and you will enjoy your pole dance experience more.

    Blackberry is not the best phone for mobile access.  Their video support is spotty at best and can require a significant technology change for any website.

    You do not need to be anybodies friend to see their videos, you just have to be a member of the website.

    Paypal has different criteria on whether to require a credit card, and these criteria are based on all kinds of things from location to age of the account.  What most people who've had this problem do is get a money card from Walmart.  Money cards with the Visa or Mastercard logo work just like a credit card but are limited to the amount you put on.  I hope this helps.

    If your friend is an amateur photographer it’s likely they have a professional flash which should be adequate.
