How was Fred Astaire's Famous Ceiling Dance done?
I'm really surprised no one has answered this yet. This was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. They built a special set that was attached to a giant motor which turned the room while the camera was attached to the set itself. You can see while Fred leans into the turns of the room and makes the transitions. My kids just watched the clip just now on Youtube and are watching me type this now as they ask "how did they do that?" I almost hate to ruin the magic of it by providing this answer. Lionel Ritchie did it too. Look it up.
Here's a video that really clearly shows how they did it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0g3g6AvLtM

Which is the best pole dancing pole to purchase for home use?
If you're looking for a pole for exercise or professional use (as opposed to a one-time birthday or anniversary suprise) then you'll want a professional grade pole. DO NOT PURCHASE ANY "OVER-THE-COUNTER" POLES, such as Carmen Electra, Peekaboo, My Sxy Little Pole, etc. Any pole sold in a novelty store (like Spencers) isn't meant for heavy use.
Try these 3 professional-grade brands:
Platinum Stages
X-Pole (US or UK)
Lil Mynx
Any professional-grade pole will run anywhere from $200-$400 dollars, depending on how intricate you want to get. Brass will be more expensive than chrome or stainless steel and will also require regular polishing. Brass is a great gripping material, but is very high maintenance, so make sure you're prepared for the upkeep before you order.
I have a Platinum Stages Removable One Piece Superpole and it's wonderful! All of the professional poles have up to a 200lb weight limit and won't damage your ceiling or floor. Call the customer service number if you have ANY questions. It's better to be safe, than sorry! Good luck!

Is Carinosa the national dance of the Philippines?
Cariñosa is not the national dance of the Philippines, neither is it Tinikling. It has no basis in Philippine law such as the claims to the supposed Philippines' National Animal (Carabao), National Fish (Bangus), National House (Nipa Hut), National Leaf (Anahaw), National Fruit (Mango), National Sport (Sipa) that are circulating through various sources.
Also, related to this, the official national symbols of the Philippines are its Philippine Flag (Republic Act 8491, known also as Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines), national anthem (Lupang Hinirang), coat-of-arms and other heraldic items and devices of the Philippines. Apart from RA 8491, the Philippines has only four (4) other official national symbols (meaning, those which represent Philippine traditions and ideals and convey the principles of Philippine sovereignty and national solidarity) enacted through a proclamation by the executive department, namely sampaguita, nara, and the Philippine Eagle. In 1934, during the Commonwealth era, Governor-General Frank Murphy declared sampaguita and nara as National flower and National tree, respectively, through Proclamation No. 652. Philippine President Fidel Ramos Former President Fidel V. Ramos proclaimed the Philippine eagle as the national bird in 1995 through Proclamation No. 615. Ramos likewise named the Philippines' National Gem: Philippine Pearlthrough Proclamation No. 905 s. 1996.
There is also no Filipino historical figure officially declared as national hero through law or executive order. Although, there were laws and proclamations honoring Filipino heroes. On November 15, 1995, the Technical Committee of the National Heroes Committee, created through Executive Order No. 5 by former President Fidel Ramos, recommended nine Filipino historical figures to be National Heroes: Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo, Apolinario Mabini, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Sultan Dipatuan Kudarat, Juan Luna, Melchora Aquino, and Gabriela Silang. There has not been any action taken for these recommended National Heroes.
