So what is the criteria for a first timer should one want to attend. Is it invite only, or do we need to get a hold of the host and ask if we could attend? My wife could stay at her sisters in Virginia. I would get a kick out of Hob knobing with George Grand and meeting the rest of ya'll.
Probably going to miss this one too unfortunately...
I'd like to make this if that'd be cool. At least partially - I'd need to get back for Buddy Guy Saturday night.
I would love to attend this. Need to see if I can get the time off, finacially feasable, etc. Hopefully it'll work out as I would like to meet you all face to face.

Saturday night is prime time Polkfest, better than a Buddy Guy show where he'll play part of a song, talk a lot, play part of another song, talk a lot more......repeat until the show is over.

Hehe, you do have a point there.
Is there a preferred hotel?

About the hotels......the one Lightman1 and I stayed at last time is definitely a "preferred" hotel. I do not have the time this morning to look it up but if memory serves, it is the first one on the South East side of the main highway leading down and the main thoroughfare leading West to Troy's. I swear that was to this day, the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Came with a small kitchenette, living room w/HDTV and cable, separate bedroom w/ 2 Queen side beds, granite bathroom with glass shower stalls and very quiet for a ridiculously low price of under $100.00 a night. I'll see if I can't find it when I get home tonight.
Leftplumma and gudnoyez, newcomers to the Polkfest are always welcome and encouraged to attend. Troy and The Lovely Wendy are the most gracious of hosts and any questions you may need can be answered by some of the folks who have attended before. Just post any question(s) you may have to this thread.
In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction.
I'll put up a logistics thread that should provide any info that you need.....I'm within spitting distance of Charleston Int'l Airport, I-26, Amtrak and Greyhound. Hotels aplenty in every price range.
As far as first timers, the more the merrier. My caveats are pretty simple. Nothing illegal. If you want to trip the light fantastic, don't do it here. No drugs or guns that kind of thing. Also, I have a strict no doucher policy. Meaning, if you are coming to start crap with someone you don't like on the forum or mess with F1's hair....skip it. Also, there will be drinking and so forth so if you have kids, I'd probably ask that you not bring them. Other than that, come and have a good time. Really, just exercise some common sense.
I plan for the future. - F1Nut
Watch out, George. Someone wants to hob your knob.
Just saying, TLW has dibs on El Roma....and she is a formidable woman. Formidable.

I have only been to one PF, and it was a very good time with a lot of very good people. It was a chance to demo a lot of different gear, different types of music, and a chance to get to know some of the folks in person.
I'd highly recommend participating and having a good time. That's what a hobby is supposed to be about, after all.
Better to have and not need than to need and not have!
Although it does sound odd. I guess what I was trying to say it would great to meet George and the rest of you toss a few drinks back and have a great time, from the stories I have read of the ones in the past, it sounds like all of you seasoned Polk fest veterans have a good time. After reading my other post I did have to laugh. So can I still show up? If I do I guess I will be the one wearing the flamesuit. LOL

Busting your onions re the hob knobbing.....
Like I said, you are more than welcome to come.

Thanks for the heads up on who can attend and how to go about it. I to was wondering if its invite only and so on.
It will be worth the trip. This will be my third fest at Troy's. And its only a 5 hour drive for me although I will be taking the Monday off for recovery
What is this and where is it? A house? Restaurant?
I'm bringing my "green bag"--chock full of gizmo's,,,just ask Dr RT1
JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)
You never know what could be lurking in that bag.
pre VAC Standard LE, power VAC PA100/100 phi upgrade, analog Origin Live Aurora Mk2, Origin Live Encounter Mk3c, Benz Ebony H, digital Lector 0.6t, speakers Thiel CS2.4, Rel Strata III, cables Audience AU24 e IC, Audience AU24 e SC, power Audience aR1p, Audience aR2p, Audience PowerCord e
I'm terrifed but attending with the woman who actually married me....
Troy tell the Lovely to get ready, she's the sane one, not ME. I'll have Al in tow or vice versa.
Oh NO not the BAG! and Doro bringing his wife now..... What's next are we hanging Curtains too?

See that's why I can't come. I have to pay for two plane tickets! At least she loves music.
I'm a maybe, I'd love to be at a Troy Fest and see all the good Polk Forum folks. I've been to four of these. I'll have a better view of my schedule as the date approaches.
Don't show unless you brought me back something from you know where.

Seahawk Netters Crack Top-2O In ITA Poll
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 02/14/2013
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - The UNCW men's tennis team is one of just seven NCAA Division I programs with representation in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's ranking of top-20 singles and doubles players.
The Seahawks, 5-1, are ranked 39th in the latest ITA listing and feature the CAA's Player-of-the-Week in junior Rafael Aita and Doubles Team-of-the-Week in Aita and sophomore Sam Williams.
Aita soared from No. 37 to No. 17 this week after winning three consecutive matches, including a big upset over 26th-ranked Florent Diep of Florida, 6-4, 6-3. Aita and Williams are unbeaten in doubles and moved up to No. 45 after allowing just 13 games in five matches.
Seniors Chris Cooprider of Denver, Colo., and Kosta Blank of Winnipeg, Canada, are now up to eighth in the country, the highest ranking for a player or team in UNCW history, after opening the year at No. 10.
Only six other programs have players in the top-20 of both singles and doubles: Virginia (#1), Georgia (#6), Duke (#9), Mississippi State (#10), Mississippi (#12) and Michigan (#12).
"I'm very proud of Rafael, Kosta and Coop for their accomplishments and am pleased they are being recognized as among the best in the country," said Mait DuBois, UNCW's sixth-year head coach. "Their development and commitment to the process of getting better every day has been to the key to their success. I'm confident they will continue to work hard. Their best tennis is still ahead of them."
The Seahawks return to the courts on Saturday with a Noon match against Campbell.

Disney Announces Higher Profits in 4th Quarter
November 9, 2012 | WMFE - Good news for Central Florida's largest employer. The Walt Disney Company is reporting increased profits for the 4th quarter of 2012. Disney credits strong attendance at its theme parks and the popularity of ESPN.
Disney Chief Executive Officer Robert Iger credited improved attendance at some of the company's theme parks along with the christening of a new larger cruise ship and growing popularity for the company's ESPN sports-television channel.
Attendance at central Florida's Walt Disney World was down slightly for the year but that was offset by a growing number of visitors at California's Disneyland and at Disney parks in Hong Kong and Paris.
Last week, Disney announced it was buying Lucas Film, the company behind the Star Wars films for $4 billion dollars.
Disney employs more than 62 thousand workers in central Florida.

Areas on my body will become red and feel like they are burning, which is usually my ears and sometimes my upper lip, but this recently has spread to my forehead as well. I will find large raised welts on my skin all over my body, which usually look like a long, fat grub is under my skin. I will also get terribly itchy on my legs, bottom, back, chest, and neck. When I scratch the areas will become very red and raised from my scratch marks, which never used to happen throughout my life when I scratched any section of my skin. All of these symptoms seem to come and go. I will be horribly itchy one moment, then it will pass, then another symptom might start up.
I went to see a dermatologist, who suggested I try some Cortisone cream and said that this is something that just happens to people sometimes and that there is no reason for it, but that it usually goes away within a bit of time. I didn't want to use the Cortisone cream since it contained steroids, plus all of my symptoms come and go anyway so I didn't see the cream as being much of a help in stopping this.
A holistic doctor said I might have extreme sensitivity to fragrances and dyes and also be allergic to chicken, beef, corn, and tomatoes, which are hard for me to remove from my diet, especially since corn is in so much. For a few months I tried taking holistic medicine for sensitivity for fragrances, dyes, as well as corn. Nothing helped. I even began using fragrance free soap, conditioner, and shampoo, since often I find that when I exit the shower my ears will be red and feel like they are burning and that maybe the cause of that was the soap, but this didn't help either.
I don't feel any better or worse if I use products with fragrances or eat certain foods. The symptoms don't always happen after I eat, often I will have symptoms just sitting in bed while reading a book or working on the computer. I've never heard of anyone else ever having any of these problems and they all started so suddenly and I don't know what this could be or what I could do.
I feel like I can't be comfortable in my own skin anymore. I'll suddenly start itching everywhere and have raised welts all over my body. It is embarrassing when this happens in public and especially when I get welts on my face and my face becomes red. And my body looks horrible when I scratch at it and I have raised claw marks from my nails, which doesn't leave any scarring, but at times looks like something out of a horror movie.
You're both doing the right thing trying to figure out what is causing the skin reactions you are experiencing/seeing. This typically does indicate a sensitivity to something in your environment.
Here is a link to WebMD's article on Hives and Urticaria . You may find the information helpful as you continue to investigate the root cause of the problem.
Dr. Evans
I've continued to have this every day and had an especially bad looking set of raised marks the other day that I took a photo of here.
It looks like scratch marks, but I wasn't scratching and there are eight lines, which are broken in half in an area. I hadn't had anything to eat that day, nor had I used any bath products. Even as I'm typing this now I feel a small area on my upper lip becoming hot and I just checked it and it is red. This continues even when I'm in different environments and try to stay away from fragrances, dyes, and certain foods. I'm at a loss as what to do and this seems different than hives.
I haven't been able to find any solution to this and while I've continued to have this every day since I last posted, I had an especially nasty looking episode a few days back. I hadn't had anything to eat and hadn't bathed, so I can rule out it being any foods or sensitivity to any fragrances or dyes in bath products.
It looks like scratch marks, but I hadn't been scratching. I had simply gotten up and taken my dog out in the backyard that day. And even relating to animals, I continue to have this even when I'm away from home for weeks at a time.
Does your daughter get marks that look like these?
Sorry attaching the photo here since I did it incorrectly earlier.
It appears that you've become sensitized to something. Typically the first time, you don't necessarily react, but each subsequent exposure can cause more intense reactions.
If this continues, you may consider an appointment with an allergist to see if you need to do sensitivity testing.
Dr. Evans
Please let me know if you found out what it is called and if you know the source and how you have dealt with it.
Ok I get the same exact thing!! And after a lot of research I finally found out what it is and what is the cause. Ok first of all the thing is called Dermatographic Urticaria, and the main cause is STRESS. Tight clothing, temperature can also cause it, but it is mainly caused by stress. The underlying cause of dermographism is not known, and can last for many years without relief. Ninety-five percent of chronic cases are never solved. Sometimes the condition goes away, sometimes it stays forever. It is not a life-threatening disease and is not contagious (transferable to other persons).
So honestly I wouldn't worry because it's not life-threatening.
Dermographism can be treated by antihistamines , which prevent histamine from causing the reaction.
But again, it's no big deal, and if it happens, just try to relax and relieve some stress! Good luck everyone!

I've never actually created a bucket list, but if I had, speaking at TEDMED would be close to the top. What an honor to be invited to participate in TEDMED 2013 at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, April 16-19, 2013.
At its core, TEDMED is a celebration of human achievement and the power of connecting the unconnected in creative ways to change our world in health and medicine. I've been asked to do my part by participating in an entirely new type of TEDMED session.

On this day in 1945, President Franklin Roosevelt collapsed and died while sitting for a portrait in Warm Springs, GA. Harry Truman took the oath of office that same day. Seen here is the unfinished painting of FDR, done by Elizabeth Shoumatoff.
Despite his declining heath, Roosevelt's death came as a shock to the world--Churchill later described learning of FDR's death as comparable to having "been struck a physical blow."

Angry Gary Carter "Now you're getting your way"
Look, Tony Gwynn didn't sign anything but a 8x10 picture that was made from State Farm. I'm not defending Carter, but if you already know he's not going to sign anything else, why create a scene? I got Gwynn's autograph knowing that I was ONLY going to get a 8x10 picture. He wasn't going to sign anything else.
Security involvement was funny. He got in the fans face just to show up on YouTube. That's all. Just watch it...

- Eric "Niño" said...
The fan had a point about at least signing for the kids because kids always deserve the autograph.
He did ignite the situation by saying he was going to post it on YouTube. Its almost as if he had it planned.
Funny none-the-less.

This was obviously made by some scumbag selling the autographs on Ebay. Look at how the photographs already had stickers of authenticity. These guys go around using kids as pawns. Awful

- Fernando said...
The fan is dumb. He recorded this and knew what was going to happen. I was there Sunday and some players signed everything, others only a certain item. I knew this so I didn't waste my time to those that only signed a little paper. The security at the end didn't handle this situation well.

Yeah, the guy's still a dick - and I'm not talking about Carter.

- Roberto said...
@ TrueDodgerFan - I did read the description... All I'm saying is this... why waste your time if you don't want his autograph on their items? He already knew what he was getting. We can say Carter is a jerk for only wanting to sign a particular item, fine. But since you know that, go to another booth and get an autograph from someone else.

The guy taking the video is a complete embarrassment to sports fans. Just because technology exists that allows us to upload video for the world to see doesn't mean that you threaten to use the video because you don't get your way. I can understand if he was wronged, but he clearly was not. Gary Carter may have been contractually limited to what he is able to do while sitting at that table. Be thankful the guy even cares about the game and the fans enough to show up.

Yeah the videotaper was really being a dick throughout. He had his videocamera ready, his kids to use as "pawns" to make him seem "innocent", obviously he had his YouTube script ready to go, and on top of that he made an embarrassment of himself not only in front of security but also his family. It's guys like those that give sports fans a bad name sometimes.

I believe what this guy did was not the smartest. Now I know that I may be ignorant and that they may be both at fault but I was there at the Fanfest on Saturday and stood in line for a good amount of time to get Gary Carter's autograph. I am only 16 years old and I am a huge Dodger Fan. Gary Carter would not sign my card and would only do it for a donation. I was with a friend and we took our time to go buy a card of him and he wouldnt sign anything but a paper. He states in the video that he would sign baseball cards but that isnt true. It is NOT american to not sign a child's item and I believe this man has his head up his a**, with his supposed HOF worthy career. Before this I was a fan of Gary Carter. I never understood why as a human being he would do something like that. By the way Robert I love your blog and have for a loooooooooooonnnnnnnngggg time :).

I was there and Gary Carter is an idiot. My husband was in line for two hours when the guy came down the line to tell him Gary is signing 8X11 pieces of paper. The first guy in front of my husband took out $25 dollars for Carter to sign his baseball; Carter TOOK the money and signed the ball. The guy behind my husband offered Carter $10 to sign his baseball and Carter refused. So the guy had to come up with another $15 dollars in order for Carter to sign his baseball. This was absolutely ridiculous as ALL player were signing baseballs and anything else for free (except for Ricky Henderson, but then we all know he's an a**hole. Gary Carter has now joined Ricky Henderson in A**hole Ville. There were lots of witnesses to what my husband and I saw; hope word of this gets around.

Gary Carter was an A**hole. The reason this guy took out his camera was probably because of what happened before he got to the front of the line. My husband was in line for two hours. The guy in front of him took out $25 and gave it to Carter to sign his baseball. Carter TOOK the money, put it in his pocket and proceeded to sign the baseball. The guy after my husband took out $10 and gave it to Carter for him to sign his baseball. Carter said "No." The guy then proceeded to take out another $15 and gave a total of $25 to Carter. Again, Carter TOOK the money, put it in his pocket and proceeded to sign the baseball. I didn't know what a prick Gary Carter really was. Just to set the record straight, Ricky Henderson signed the entrance ticket or a blank piece of paper; also, he was on his CELLPHONE while he was signing. These two idiots should be banned from attending a Fan Fest Convention that is supposed to give out FREE autographs to everyone. Tommy John was a perfect gentleman, so was Feller, Gaylor Perry, Earl Weaver, Maury Wills, Dick Williams, Jim Fergosi and Luis Aparicio. What Carter did was absolutely wrong. Carter and Ricky belong in A**hole Ville.

I guarantee that guy was just using his kids to get some signed Gary Carter photos to sell. The photos are probably up on Ebay right now, and he's using the video as "proof" that they aren't fake autographs. What a douchebag.

@ Lemzilla
"There aren't any Gary Carter fans that were born after 1979..."
I am only 16 years old and I do not want this to come to you as offensive but I disagree with your statement. Even I am a (former) fan and wanted to have Gary Carter's autograph but he didn't want to sign my card. The video stated that he was signing cards and the security guard I met said otherwise. I don't think its american not to sign a child's autograph. I KNOW for a fact when a child receives a autograph from a player (old or new, no matter if he/she knew them or not)it makes them happy and it makes their day. I did not have $25 dollars in my pocket and there is no way in hell I would pay that much anyway. When I was little, about 6 years of age, I received my first autograph from Paul Quantrill and David Ross. I had no clue who they were and I accepted the knowledge that they were playing on my favorite team, The Dodgers. It made my day to hold that autograph and say that I had the chance to meet them. You really can't say that he was using his kids as a pawn to sell those autograph and post them on Youtube because it is possible the thought of your kid to have that moment of happiness and having your kid smile for the rest of the day due to one autograph is priceless. I believe Gary Carter did the most UN-Christian thing. I am a huge fan a baseball and a huge fan of its history but Gary Carter is one of those moments I do not ever want to remember.
By the way, I am sorry that Rickey was being rude to the fans. It is sad to hear that he did that. I am glad now that I never went to his line just to be set up for dissapointment.
- July 15, 2010 at 3:08 PM

First, these kids had no idea who Gary Carter is (like you and Quantrill/Ross), so why would it matter to them if they got an autographed sheet of paper vs an autographed photo with an MLB foil stamp? It doesn't/shouldn't matter. They met the guy and got his autograph, end of story. It only matters to their dad who wants to sell the item (hence the foil sticker).
Second, what part of Carter's actions was un-Christian? Read Carter's website where he states that he will not sign anything that will be sold for profit. Carter saw the foil stickers and refused to sign. He has the right to do that without being labeled as un-Christian. I still have no idea what was "un-Christian" about his actions. Hopefully you or someone else can shed some light on how this relates to Carter's faith at all.

@ A. DeVandry
Carter States:
"The Baseball Hall of Fame is something every player dreams about, but being a member of God's Hall of Fame is the greatest achievement of all. God offers each of us the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. When we accept God's gift of salvation, our name is written in The Book of Life, guaranteeing us a place in heaven forever."
"I made that decision during spring training in 1973, and prayed asking Jesus to come into my heart as Lord and Savior. It was then that I first realized that when Jesus died on the cross, he died for me and paid for my sins. Accepting his payment was all I needed to do. I couldn't earn my way into heaven. You can become a member of God's Hall of Fame too, by making the same decision today."
How do we really know that his intentions were to sell an autograph? (If they were then he is an A-hole and is making the autograph fans look bad). I don't believe that Gary Carter should care if his autographs are being sold for profit. He would be NOTHING without his fans. His fans were the one who paid his paycheck all those years he was playing.I don't believe a Christian or a man of God as he states would care about the money that they are making off of him or the money he is losing. They authenticate the item no matter what when you go up to get your item signed at the all star Fanfest so I don't believe it would have mattered having the MLB foil sticker. Everybody was selling his Merchandise to get signed. You wait 2-3 hours in line. Then as you get up to the table, he says he Won't sign it (instead a piece of paper for you) unless you give him $25.
- July 15, 2010 at 5:06 PM
- A. DeVandry said...
You showed me that he claims to be a Christian. Good. But I asked you to show me where he was being un-Christian.
Carter already got paid to be at the event. According to athletepromotions.com, booking Carter for an event costs between $10,000 and $20,000. He didn't need to get paid $25 a pop to sign baseballs or whatever else was shoved in his face.
However, he has a charity, detailed on his website, and he has stated very clearly that he will sign for donations to his charity. See the links below for those detailed policies.
It's clear that he's not ripping people off. In fact, he is doing an honorable thing by raising money for charity. This is hardly "un-Christian". I think you and others have thrown that term around too loosely.
- July 15, 2010 at 5:30 PM
- TTMCentral said...
Their were several players who have their own autograph policies for charity that were at the event such as Earl Weaver(Miami Children Hospital). As you say, "Carter already got paid to be at the event. According to athletepromotions.com, booking Carter for an event costs between $10,000 and $20,000. He didn't need to get paid $25 a pop to sign baseballs or whatever else was shoved in his face." If he was paid to be at the event for three days (10,000-25,000), Why did he only sign white paper when he could have donated the money that he was paid for the event to sign the items for the fans (Like Me) that waited in line for 2-3 hours. He could have signed items that the fans had like all the other players who have charities.
- July 15, 2010 at 5:49 PM
- A. DeVandry said...
So you're backing off the un-Christian accusations?
If Carter got paid for the event, then that is his money to keep. More power to him. Quite honestly, Christian doctrine requires people to be stewards of their own money, and Carter is doing that.
It is WRONG of people to attack his character because he didn't donate his earnings to charity. The guy needs to earn a living.
I have no problem with him saying, "if you want me to sign your official crap for selling on eBay, then donate $25 to this charity."
I DO have a problem with people threatening him on video, using their kids as props, and forcing him to sign their eBay sale items by blackmailing him with youtube clips. ... and then claiming that his actions were un-Christian. Good grief.
- July 15, 2010 at 5:57 PM
- TTMCentral said...
Look my card did not have an official MLB sticker. It was a common card that you could find in a standard package of cards. When an event says that the players will sign your item for free and you wait in line for 2-3 hours for Gary Carter to tell you I won't sign your card even though you are a kid and took the time to get a card of me and wait in a long line to be set up for disapointment.
- July 15, 2010 at 6:07 PM
- jbull0ck said...
eI just submitted this as a comment on YouTube:
Please take the video down now. Putting children in the path of what appears to be a planned angerfest is premeditated child abuse. Anyone who finds someone else's behavior unacceptable yet blackmails them for an autograph needs psychological help on yet another level.
One can only hope.

TB Skin Test
The tuberculosis skin test (also known as the tuberculin test or PPD test) is a test used to determine if someone has been infected with the bacterium that causes tuberculosis.
Who should get a TB Skin Test?
People who have been in close contact with someone who has an active case of tuberculosis.
Healthcare workers and others whose occupations bring them in close contact with those who may have active TB.
People who enter drug and or alcohol treatment programs.
People with diseases or conditions that weaken their immune systems such as people with HIV or AIDS that make them more vulnerable to TB infection.

What does a positive TB Skin Test mean?
A skin test must be evaluated by a health professional to determine if it is positive. A positive TB skin test means that you may have been exposed to someone with active TB disease and you may have a TB infection. If you have a positive TB skin test, you need to go to a doctor or clinic to have further tests done, including a chest x-ray, to determine if you have active TB disease. You may need medicine to keep you and other people from getting sick.

Amid increasing calls to arm educators in the wake of the Newtown shootings, school leaders who met earlier this week in Southington agreed that guns have no place in Connecticut's schools.
The gathering of the Connecticut School Security Symposium on Monday in Southington drew more than 800 educators. The event was closed to the public, but a group of schools officials talked to reporters on Tuesday during a press conference in West Hartford, according to the website CT News Junkie.
Joseph Cirasuolo, executive director of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents, told the website that officials discussed a wide range of issues related to school security during the symposium, including how schools should safegaurd against tragedies like the Newtown shootings. Some of the issues covered, Cirasuolo said, included installing bulletproof glass in schools and improving buzzer entry systems.
He said there was no single or easy solution to the matter of school security, though the education officials dismissed the idea of arming teachers or other school officials, the website reports.
"One of the things that was recommended against very strongly was arming teachers and principals, because when it comes down to it you can make sure somebody knows how to use a firearm — shoot it — but you need to make sure the person that has the firearm knows how to use it in a school setting," Cirasuolo told CT News Junkie.


text: Frankly it is amazing to see that this thread has lasted this much. I just cannot help keep thinking that the seemingly resemblence to MK Ashley provokes comes from the fact that she studied and digged into Michelle's performances, hence, it is sort of learnt habit of hers. I do think though that as time goes, Ashley will find her own aura in her skating now that she knows how to put things down on ice.

Routing and grouping techniques
In this article by Edouard Camou, author of the book Pro Tools HD 11, we will have a look at the various routing and grouping techniques in Pro Tools HD.
Managing complex mixes becomes a lot easier when we group our tracks. Pro Tools uses internal buses to route audio inside the mixer. We can use grouping for several reasons such as processing many tracks together or creating stems. We can also group in a parallel way, creating a wet signal that will be mixed back with the dry one. Grouping can be made easier and also more complex to have more control over the mix.Read Routing and grouping techniques in full
