About this Business
From Our Editors
Korean Express's ensemble of chefs sears traditional eats on hot stones, filling the shop with a piquant bouquet of steam. In the bustling kitchen, fingers fly as they prepare a variety of time-honored dishes such as hot-stone bibimbap and savory seaweed rice rolls that only respond to questions when addressed by their Korean name, kimbap. Proof of the kitchen's dedication to the region's culinary traditions is evident in the use of established ingredients including sweet-potato noodles, kimchi, and handmade boiled dumplings that don't require a chopsticks-to-fork converter.

Balaton Sound 2016 Festival Info
Balaton Sound 2016 Festival Info
Tickets and entrance
Where to buy tickets?
You can buy your tickets right away in our webshop. To find more information on our local Balaton Sound retailers, please click here.
You can also buy your ticket on spot by cash or bank card, but we advise you to buy it in advance not just because of the discounted price, but Balaton Sound has been a sold out event for years now, so you really shouldn't risk losing out on the event standing by the entrance.
Ticket helpdesk
In case you bought or about to buy tickets in our webshop, please click here to reach our Helpdesk.
In case you bought or about to buy your ticket from one of our official retail partners please contact them.
Ticket types & rules
For information on tickets click here.
Basic stuff you need to know about your ticket
- Your ticket (online voucher) will be exchanged to a wristband at the entrance. Please don't forget to bring your valid ID or passport as with our new check-in system you can only get your wristband when it is personalized.
- All rights related to the ticket are solely represented by the code on the ticket - you are not sure about what your ticket includes?
- Vouchers are not personalized and are not connected to a specific person, so the first person who presents the code on the ticket will receive the wristband
- In case of fraud (e.g.: earlier, unauthorised entry with the code) Balaton Sound shall not hand over the wristband or a new ticket even to the holder of the printed ticket. Balaton Sound shall not be liable in case of a fraud
- Keep your code safe and don't let anyone make copies, photos or recordings of your ticket
- Please note that your camping voucher will be exchanged to a wristband at the camping reception only!
- You can only get your wristband if you present a valid ID or passport. More information about our check-in system!
- Wristbands are only valid if you wear it on your wrist
- Wristbands that are damaged, glued, cut, with a patent undone, broader than the hand are considered as invalid!
- Wristbands are non-transferable to another person
- Damaged and lost wristbands cannot be replaced
- Please note that your camping voucher will be exchanged to a wristband at the camping reception only.
Ticket forgers and those participating in forging will be prosecuted.
Please note that the organizers reserve the right to make changes to the program.
From 2016 there will be an additional check-in system at Balaton Sound. This will happen at the entrance of the festival, when you are just about to get your pretty wristband.
The check-in will ensure the personalization of the wristbands. Your vouchers (with a barcode/QR code) that you've received when purchasing your tickets for Balaton Sound are not personalied (they do not indicate a name), so when you are exchanging your voucher to a wristband our colleague will ask for a valid ID from you, scan it and you will then receive your wristband.
The personalization is important, because this way we hope to roll back those who would use tickets with a bad intention as well as we aim to filter persons who are on an international arrest warrant list or on an international watch-list. Data scanned from your valid ID or passport will be stored according to the Data Protection Laws of Hungary and the EU.
Do I need any specific document to enter Balaton Sound?
- You will need your voucher you received via email having your barcode or QR code and a valid ID or passport.
What happens if I leave my ID at home / lose my documents?
- We really hope this will not be the case. We are positive that all of you travel with at least your ID or even your passport. In case you won't have a valid document, you will be asked to go to the 'Problematic Ticket' point, where our staff will figure out a way to solve your issue.
What happens if I don't have a voucher and would like to buy my ticket on-site?
- The same process applies for those, who buy their tickets on-site. When purchasing the ticket at the 'Tickets' booth an ID will be asked for the personalization of the wristband. However we recommend everyone to buy their tickets in advance as tickets are selling out real quick.
Will the entry to the festival take longer?
- We are working with all measures and staff to make the entry to the festival as quick as possible. This should not take more time than usual.
Is there a safe place I can store my documents at the festival?
- We recommend you to get a locker, what you can use all week.
I attended Balaton Sound several occasions. How will this be different for me?
- Until now you did not need a valid ID to present at the exchange points. From now on, you will have to present your ID to receive your wristband. As previous practice showed, visitors collected the wristbands for friends as well. This will not be possible as the personalization of the wristbands and the IDs will need to be shown by each individual.
Children at Balaton Sound – the smallest fans
The smallest visitots are welcome to Balaton Sound as well! Children under the age of 11 (date of birth after 13th July 2005) can enter the event free of charge.
Kids under the age of 14 can enter and stay at the venue only with an adult.
Can I return my ticket?
Please note that tickets are non-refundable.
I left my voucher / ID / passport home
To enter the festival area you will definitely need your code (bar code, QR code). So, don't forget it!
If you have it on your smart phone in a PDF format, that's also great! To check-in to the festival it is a must from this year to present a valid ID or passport to receive your wristband! Please check for more information on this and try not to forget your personal identification document!

- Food issues: It is very important that you don't store any food in your tents.
- Contact lenses: For sanitary reasons we advise our visitors wearing contact lenses to use glasses instead while attending the festival, they are easier to handle and keep clean.
- Safe sex: Please avoid incautious sexual relationships! Always think about the necessary protection and use a condom!
- Bodysurf: For safety reasons it is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to bodysurf! Anybody disregarding this can be pulled out of the crowd and if necessary ultimately banned from the festival area.
- Noise: In order to protect your hearing we ask you to use earplugs when standing close to the stage.
- Entrance in case the festival passes are sold out: If the festival is sold out, in order to protect the visitors the security staff can order a headcount limit at separate venues and prohibit you from entering the given program venue even with a valid wristband. In order to avoid this we kindly ask you to arrive in time at concerts that are especially important for you, if not you might have to wait a long time to get in.
- Walking around: Getting from one location to another might take a longer time than you would expect because of the crowd, so we advise you to leave early to get to the venues in time. The main roads can be pretty crowded, please be patient, don't push others, don't try to walk opposite of traffic and move along with the crowd.
- Accident & crime: In case of an accident or if someone gets hurt please contact the staff immediately and ask them for help. It is very important that you don't call the ambulance right away, if necessary our staff will do so. Emergency care is free of charge within the festival area. If you are witness or victim of any crime or you feel like you need help feel free to contact any member of the security staff.
- Extreme weather conditions: Outdoor events can always be affected by extreme weather conditions. Our crew is constantly in contact with the National Meteorological Service (OMSZ), in case of any weather related emergencies we will alert you in time. The organizers provide you with up to date information about the weather on all our info platforms. This is where you can get information about a possible UV alert, summer-heat alert or the situation of the pollen concentration. If the upcoming day is likely to be stormy and windy the organizers will inform you about that. It is important that you are prepared in advance for situations like this: secure your tent, place your belongings into safety and prepare the appropriate clothes. In case of a storm try to stay away from tall trees and electrical devices and rather stay at open space. In case of strong wind for safety reasons program venue tents might get evacuated, we ask you to leave the venues if you are warned about this.
- Managing the crowd: If you travel along with the crowd always travel in the same direction and with the same speed as the others. If you feel that the crowd is starting to panic try to get to the side of it by leaving sideways or to the front. The chances of getting carried away by the crowd or you getting hurt are the lowest when being on the side.

IMPORTANT: HOW TO USE THIS INFORMATION: This is a summary and does NOT have all possible information about this product. This information does not assure that this product is safe, effective, or appropriate for you. This information is not individual medical advice and does not substitute for the advice of your health care professional. Always ask your health care professional for complete information about this product and your specific health needs.
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Byetta
WARNING: This medication can cause a certain type of thyroid tumor (thyroid C-cell tumors) in rats. It is unknown if this medication can cause similar tumors in humans. Talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of treatment with this medication. Do not use this medication if you have a personal/family history of a certain type of cancer (medullary thyroid carcinoma) or a certain inherited disease (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 or MEN 2). While using this medication, tell your doctor right away if you notice any signs of thyroid tumors, including an unusual growth or lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, unusual/lasting hoarseness.
USES: Exenatide is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar. It is used by people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Exenatide is an anti-diabetic drug that is similar to a natural hormone in your body (incretin). It works by increasing insulin release (especially after a meal) and decreasing the amount of sugar your liver makes. It also slows down food digestion in your stomach, decreases the amount of sugar absorbed from food, and may help decrease your appetite.
HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide and the Pen User Manual provided by your pharmacist before you start using exenatide and each time you get a refill. Learn all preparation and usage instructions. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Before injecting each dose, clean the injection site with rubbing alcohol. Change the injection site each time to lessen injury under the skin.
Inject this medication under the skin in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day. Injection should be done within 60 minutes before the morning and evening meals (or before the two main meals of the day, at least 6 hours apart). Exenatide should not be used after a meal since it will not work as well.
If you are also using insulin, give exenatide and insulin as separate injections. Do not mix them. You may inject these medications in the same area of the body, but the injection sites should not be next to each other.
Since exenatide slows down digestion of food/drugs in your stomach, certain medications (such as birth control pills, antibiotics taken by mouth) may not work as well if you take them at the same time. Take birth control pills or antibiotics at least 1 hour before using exenatide. If you must take these medications with food, take them with a meal or snack when you do not also take exenatide. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about when to take your medications.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Carefully follow your diabetes management plan, including medications, diet, and exercise.
Check your blood sugar regularly as directed by your doctor. Keep track of the results, and share them with your doctor. Tell your doctor if your blood sugar measurements are often too high or too low. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication, exercise program, or diet.
Do not share your pen device with another person, even if the needle is changed. You may give other people a serious infection, or get a serious infection from them. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.

Touched by the great depression and trained in a strong apprenticeship tradition, physicians who are now in their seasoned professional prime not only have been confused but have been appalled by social and political changes affecting their profession during the last decade and particularly during the last year. Magraw analyses the modern trends in medical care and practice objectively and then adds a personal and subjective comment. Few physicians or students of medicine can isolate themselves from the social and political changes inundating the traditional system of medical practice, teaching, and research.

We stayed here because it is one of four in town that accepts pets. It was the least expensive option. (The rates had gone up for 'season' at the other hotel we used last month). Our room was basically clean and a typical average motel king size bed room with tv, dorm size fridge, microwave, tv, and safe. However, the fridge was quite rusty which was unappealing. Also, the rubber seal was quite loose, which is probably why the freezer section was completely frozen solid! Our room key didn't work in our first room, so we had to wait for the young clerk to come out and try it for himself. He finally decided to give us another room -- after he contacted maintenance. I pointed out that we had a cat and that both of us needed to use the toilet immediately (we had been driving for two hours). A professional would have given us the new room key FIRST and then taken care of the broken door/key.
The safe was inconveniently placed adjacent to the sink, so it was impossible to stand next to the sink. The hairdryer was on the wall at a height of over five feet, so the length of the cord was 'wasted' going up and then back down, combined with the location of the safe, making it all but impossible to dry my hair.
We had trouble with the internet, having to hold our device up to the window to get a signal. My fiance finally discovered that the signal was strongest in the bathroom! So the inconvenient safe became his desk!!
The placement of the bathroom door was also inconvenient. It opened just missing the corner of the fridge/microwave, then just missing the corner of the bed/comforter, and finally was flush against the back wall -- right in front of the light switches for the two parts of the bathroom (sink and toilet areas)!!!
On the first morning, housekeeping knocked at 8:30am and when I told the woman we were in bed, she still wanted to come in! I spoke to the manager, who said we shouldn't be disturbed before 11am. The second day she came at 9:30, but it was Christmas day and we had planned to sleep until noon. (There wasn't one of those Do Not Disturb cards). Finally on the third morning, she waited til almost 10am (!) and when I explained that we like to sleep in while on vacation (and don't require new towels every single day or someone to make the bed) she gave us a Do Not Disturb card to hang on the door. Too bad it wasn't there the first day.
I would recommend asking for a room NOT at the front of the motel. The garbage truck came quite early one day and the noise woke us up. The I-HOP is convenient and the food is fine. My parents eat breakfast there most weekends.

Diane Birch readies solo tour, talks debut CD
Published: Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 16, 2010 at 2:30 p.m.
NEW YORK — When Diane Birch was asked to be the opening act on Nick Jonas' first solo tour, she was skeptical about the teen heartthrob's wild fans.
"They're not going to get it. They're going to think like, 'What is this weird music? Like am I at my grandparent's house or something?'" she thought.
But Birch, 27, quickly realized Jonas' fans could vibe to her old-school flavored pop formula.
"I was really impressed with just the kind of the sophistication of their ears in a lot of ways," she said.
Now Birch, who released her debut CD "Bible Belt" last May, will embark on her own tour. It kicks off on May 12 in Los Angeles and wraps on June 10 at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee.
"Oh, very personal. Very personal," she says of the songs she'll perform from her album.
The album's lead single, "Nothing But a Miracle," deals with her apprehension about relationships. The piano-playing singer says she's spent six months to a year in a dead-end relationship.
"I've definitely been in a relationship where you're kind of going through the emotions," she said. "It's something that a lot of people can relate too."
Birch, who has been likened to artists like Amy Winehouse and Duffy, says she appreciates the comparisons, but doesn't really understand it.
"I always find it a bit weird 'cause I don't think I sound anything like either of them so that part's always funny to me," she said.
"I hear Norah Jones sometimes and I don't understand. I think we have brown hair and play piano and that is definitely one similarity. I just think it's funny, people need a point of reference so, it's definitely flattering," she added.

Congratulations to a very special 9-year-old girl who looks absolutely beautiful with her new haircut.
It's a haircut that Haley Mora has been looking forward to because on April first - no joke, she cut ten inches of her hair off to donate to Locks of Love.
Thanks to Haley's generosity, her hair will now be converted into high quality hair pieces that will go to financially disadvantaged children and adults suffering from long-term hair loss due to medical conditions.

John McCain stood in front of all of us and lied tonight. He said specifically that he's repudiated every attack made against Barack Obama. He then launched into an incredible defense of the people who shout out at the Palin rallies and the dog whistles to racism:
McCain On Attack Ads: 'I Can't Be A Referee Of Every Spot Run On Television.' "GOP presidential contender John McCain says he can't control every attack ad aimed at Democrat Barack Obama and fully expects he'll face a similar barrage, sounding the bell for a raucous general election brawl. 'I can't be a referee of every spot run on television,' McCain told the Herald in an exclusive interview. 'I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments, but we all know there are groups who want to attack me.'" [Boston Herald, 6/12/08]
McCain Surrogate Colonel Bud Day Said, 'The Muslims Have Said Either We Kneel, Or They're Going To Kill Us' And The McCain Campaign Did Not Repudiate Him. "A leading John McCain surrogate stirred controversy Friday after defending the Iraq war in particularly stark terms, telling reporters 'the Muslims have said either we kneel, or they're going to kill us.' Bud Day, who was a prisoner of war with McCain in Vietnam and often advocates for the Arizona senator's presidential bid, made the comments during a conference call with Florida reporters organized by the Florida Republican Party. 'I don't intend to kneel, and I don't advocate to anybody that we kneel, and John doesn't advocate to anybody that we kneel,' he also said. Asked to respond to Day's comments, the McCain campaign issued a short statement from spokesman Michael Goldfarb. 'The threat we face is from radical Islamic extremism,' he said." [CNN, 7/18/08]
John McCain has not pulled Sarah Palin back from her "hangs out with terrorists" remark, he continues to claim that Obama launched his career from Ayers' living room, and repeats lie after lie after lie.
When pundits and bloggers say that McCain was at his best tonight, all I can say is that the term "best" should not apply when one is telling a lie.

Brevard's McLeod-Snowdon win 2-A doubles state title
Lady Blue Devil Hall falls in singles final
Published: Saturday, October 27, 2012 at 1:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 27, 2012 at 1:15 p.m.
In Saturday morning's 2-A doubles state championship match at the Cary Tennis Center, the Brevard team of Emma McLeod and Taylor Snowdon outlasted Katelyn Storey and Anna Flynn of Salisbury in a tough three-set match, winning 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. The Brevard pair had beaten another Salisbury duo, Sallie Kate Meyerhoeffer and Alexandra Drye, in a three-setter on Friday in the semifinals.
In the 2-A singles final, Brevard's Hunter Hall, the reigning Times-News Girls Tennis Player of the Year, fell to Shelby's Nancy Bridges in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2.
The Shelby standout had defeated defending state champion Kalli Karas of Cuthbertson in Friday's semifinals.
Hall was very impressive on Friday in winning her three matches, taking five of her six sets at love.
The two players will face each other again on Monday as Brevard hosts Shelby in the third round of the 2-A dual team state playoffs. The Lady Blue Devils (17-0) represent the top seed from the WNC Athletic Conference, and the Lady Lions (15-2) are the No. 1 seed from the Southern Mountain Athletic Conference.

Great arrangement! I like the feel of this compared to the original; it's hard to put into words but this feels more staccato, which somehow only adds to an already awesome piece.
That increased staccato feeling is probably due to the Sytrus and the drums. Sytrus tends to emphasize staccato in its settings, and I also tried to make the drums a little more prevalent. I had the same feeling myself, when I compared the two.
Thanks for the review!

Word for Word/Sex and Massage
Rubdowns Are Fine. Then Again, They Can Get a Little Too Touchy.
By TOM KUNTZ
Published: March 30, 1997
MASSAGE -- it's a '90's kind of boom business. Be they aging, active, aching, stressed-out or simply indulgent, more and more Americans are thinking they could sure use a nice rubdown right -- no, a little to the left, higher -- Stop! There! Oooohhhhhh! Aaaahhhhhh!
Americans spend an estimated $2 billion to $4 billion annually on massages -- in resort spas, storefront backrub outlets, workplaces, therapists' offices and at home. With even some health insurance plans now covering massage, the industry is responding to rising demand. Since 1991, according to Martin Ashley, a massage expert, membership in the two largest professional associations for massage therapists in the United States has more than doubled (to 39,000) as has the number of massage-training schools (to more than 400).
You want variety? The scores of exotic-sounding types of massage available -- from Aston-Patterning to Zero-Balancing -- indicate that we're no longer talking karate chops by a guy named Sven anymore.
But one thing has been slow to change in massage, and that is its association with sex. Both massage and sex involve intimate touching. The former is often a prelude to the latter in romance -- a path encouraged lately by a bumper crop of how-to sex manuals and videos now on the market. And of course, massage parlors that front for prostitution continue to operate as massage goes mainstream.
Upshot: a lot of confusion. Professional associations that set standards for the industry say sex is never appropriate in massage -- it's illegal -- but people in the business acknowledge the blurry line between the two, and discuss it all the time. Here are excerpts. TOM KUNTZ
In the guidebook ''Massage: a Career at Your Fingertips'' (Enterprise Publishing, 1995) Martin Ashley, a lawyer and massage therapist, says requests for sex during massage most often come from men being massaged by women (roughly 75 percent of massage therapists are female). He provides this context for those aspiring to the business:
In many parts of the United States, a sexual massage is more common and easier to find than a legitimate massage. In some areas . . . the sexual massage ads in the yellow pages completely overwhelm the few listings for massage therapists. . . . Millions of men have had sexual massage experiences, and continue to have them today. As such, it is understandable that they would have some confusion about what it is you do. That is why you should be 1) nonjudgmental and 2) completely clear in your communications before beginning a massage.
Mr. Ashley notes that during massage some men can become partly aroused, since massage is highly sensual (though the client's body is typically draped with a sheet except for the body part being worked on):
These men are not necessarily after sex, and may actually be somewhat embarrassed by their arousal. . . .
If . . . you perceive signs that lead you to believe this client wants sex, ask your client questions to find out if you are right. Mention that he seems to be aroused and ask his feeling about that.
If the client's response tells you his attitude about the arousal is one of enjoyment, terminate the massage immediately. If the client continues to make any voluntary movements of a sexual nature . . . terminate the massage immediately.
But not all massage practitioners say no, according to David Palmer, a former massage school director who made these observations in ''The Bodywork Entrepreneur,'' a 1990 collection of articles from his journal of the same name:
1. Sexual massage for pay is illegal and I know of no state where this is not true. While some of us may not like that fact, for the moment we do have to live with it. Therefore the only stance we can take as an emerging profession is that sexual massage is never appropriate and, consequently, is unethical.
2. Unethical is not the same thing as immoral. Whether you think that sexual massage for pay is immoral depends on your own personal value system.
3. Sexual massage pays very well. In fact, I have met people who have paid off their mortgages, put themselves or their children through college, and otherwise had normal suburban lifestyles while doing sexual massage professionally.
Since clients often get the wrong idea, many legitimate practitioners prepare for the worst. Responding to a query sent via an Internet mailing list for massage therapists, some shared their tactics for heading off trouble:
* Best one I know of is to tilt the table and dump the offender.
* I have a fighting trophy from a contest that I casually show people who are trying to threaten me. The thing I don't tell them, though, is it was a third $(place$) out of three women. . . . Serves the purpose, anyway -- saved me once.
* Even ''friends'' or relatives can get crazy. . . . always be alert.
* I won't go to a site without a recommendation from someone I know. Even a woman can lure you in for her male friends. Remember the Avon lady who was found dead in a dumpster?
* For out-calls: Say on the phone that someone will be driving you . . . and when you arrive, while walking in the door, call out (even if it's to the thin air), ''I won't be long,'' and then say, ''It's O.K. for my husband to come in if he gets tired of being in the car, isn't it? I told him he could.''
* Most important . . . if something inside your head says, ''Don't do this one,'' DON'T DO IT.

CSP aid can help low-income residents beat the heat, cold
Published: Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 19, 2008 at 7:12 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | With the escalating cost of energy, it can be very difficult for low-income families to pay their utility costs. It doesnt have to be so hard, however.
Utility bill assistance
Who: Community Service
Programs of West Alabama
Where: Cornerstone Full Gospel Church, 610 Brooksdale Drive
When: 9 a.m.-2 p.m. April 28
Info: visit www.cspwal.com/
socialservices.html or call Sontonia Stephens at 205-752-5429, ext. 239.
Community Service Programs plans to offer some relief for those who cant pay their bills. The agency is hosting an outreach program on April 28 to help people get lined up with assistance.
Sontonia Stephens, director of case management and outreach for CSP, said the rising prices of gas and groceries compounds the burden of paying for utilities. A person who has to fill his car with gas every week has less money to spend on utilities as the cost of fuel increases. A dollar doesnt go very far anymore, she said.
Vendors are steadily increasing their rates, which makes it harder on our clients, as well as everyone else, Stephens said.
The CSP program is held three to four times each year and is designed to help families that cannot fully pay their utility bills. Participants will be asked to fill out a sign-in sheet and wait until they are called to fill out an application. Information on the number of people and income of a residence will be asked and used to determine eligibility.
The monthly gross income for a single person cannot exceed $1,276. For a family of eight, the limit is $4,321. For more details, visit www.cspwal.com/socialservices.html. Those who qualify for assistance will be notified and told how much that day.
Generally, people who receive aid fall 150 percent below the poverty line
At the end of the program, CSP will contact utility companies such as Alabama Power, Alagasco, Black Warrior EMC and notify them that they will be paying money toward that persons account.
Now that the bills for the recent cold weather are coming due, this months event could have a larger turnout than the last one in March, Stephens said. Last month, around 250 people came to the program, which normally has between 300 to 500 applicants.
The program operates on a first-come-first served basis, so applicants who dont want to wait are encouraged to arrive early.
Weve never not have had a turnout to this that was below 200 people, Stephens said.

DALLAS (AP) - Police are searching for a 25-year-old man they say shot and killed two half-brothers during a confrontation at a nightclub.
An arrest warrant affidavit released Tuesday by authorities shows Jerome Bernard Deamus is facing a charge of capital murder. They say he pulled a handgun during the dispute early Sunday morning with 22-year-old Christopher Ferguson and shot him multiple times. Deamus then was rushed by 39-year-old Cecil Ferguson, who was shot once in the chest. The affidavit says Cecil Ferguson died at the scene and his half-brother later died at a hospital.
The shootings were recorded by the club's video surveillance cameras.
The Dallas Morning News reports Deamus is a convicted felon and authorities say he goes by the nickname Big Daddy. He has a tattoo across his back that reads Dixon.

Wheat is common winter crop in mid India.
Growing natural wheat with trees in undulating land.
Shalini scattered necked wheat seeds and irrigated in Nov. 08. between Guava and Ber trees.
No-Tilling, no-chemical and organic fertilizer is used. No any weed killer and insect killing method adopted.
Growth is looking equally well as conventional best crop of the area.
In the conventional methods of farmers are deep tilling with very heavy tractors using lots of chemicals and organic fertilizers. Spraying herbicides and Hormones.
They are not keeping trees ,bushes and any other vegetation in field.
Every year tones of top soil washed away with rain water by tilling.
And most precious organic matter of land converts in to green house gases and not only escape but creating Global warming.
In this farm organic matter of soil intact and many trees, bushes and all kind of vegetation are present. They not only save carbon but also converts green house gases in to soil.
Natural food, Fruits, vegetables,Fodder, woody fuel are available in abundance.
In conventional way of farming rain water do not absorbed by land due to tilling. Tilled soil become mud in rainy season do not allow rain water to go in the soil. Water flow fast and takes away top soil( organics)
In this Garden fertility and water holding and water absorbing capacity of the soil is increasing. No rain water going out of the land and soil erosion is zero. Water label of under ground is increasing every year.
Growing crops with trees are many advantages. Birds , owl and other animals lives on trees they eat insects ,rats etc.
Any crop in any season with any trees are possible without tilling but do not possible with tilling.Therefore farmers those are tilling land for crops are do not keep trees.
Natural vegetables with trees and bushes in Small drip irrigation system.
In this garden crops are not failing in low sun light but crops do not survive in tilled soil in low sun light due to weakness.
Small amount of sun light is sufficent.
This is Friendly way of growing all in one.
Most of the harmful insects,bacteria and viruses are also present but they do not harm due to ecological balance.
Agriculture scientist are saying that crops are eating soil (nutrients) therefore fertilizers are required.This is wrongdue to wrong way of agriculture fertilizers, micronutrients,hormones are required.
Now a days Govt. of America is promoting No-Till conservation way of farming. It is good for stopping run off and soil erosion but they should stop using harmful chemicals and save biodiversity and stop pollution.
Organic matter is essential for soil but composting of organic matter is useless.
In this garden we return all crop residues to the soil. We do not bring and do not burn or sent out any organic material.
Most of the mid Indian farmers are growing wheat in winter but most of are burning crop residues. Agriculture scientist have no solution of this problem.
Rivers, dames , ponds and water wells are drying in the catchment areas due to tilling
Many many harmful chemical are coming in agriculture. Even baned drugs and chemicals are spraying by farmers as per the advise of scientists. No any govt agency is aware. Everybody eating poisonous food. Cancer and other harmful diseases are increasing
Rain is not coming. There is no water for irrigation and electricity. Farmers are shouting for "water" and electricity.
Fukuoka Farming (Natural Farming) is the only solution.
Friendly way of Farming.
This farming is done by Shalini and Vinita. There is no need of Tractor,Animal power in this way of farming.
Even children can do this Farming.
Wheat, Rape seed, vegetables and trees are in one.
Still we are using small electric pump for irrigation. And purchasing electricity from out side. This is only drawback to solve this problem we are going for un irrigated natural farming. We are also trying some alternative sources of energies as biogas and solar. But not sure about this.
Trees are sucking water from ground in day time and irrigate shade area of tree in night.
Many visitors coming to see Fukuka Farming. Shalini is explaining her way of farming. L is Shalini and R is Gunilla from Sweden
Many Govt. and non-govt. agencies are promoting Organic way of farming in India. This is good but they should stop tilling and save erosion of organics and water.
Peacocks loves natural garden.

Slow Sculpture (Hardcover)
Theodore Sturgeon was a model for his friend Kurt Vonnegut's legendary character Kilgore Trout, and his work was an acknowledged influence on important younger writers from Harlan Ellison and Robert Silverberg to Stephen King and Octavia Butler. His work has long been deeply appreciated for its sardonic sensibility, dazzling wordplay, conceptual brilliance, memorable characters, and unsparing treatment of social issues such as sex, war, and marginalized members of society. Sturgeon also authored several episodes of the original "Star Trek "TV series and originated the Vulcan phrase "Live long and prosper."
This twelfth volume of North Atlantic's ambitious series reprinting his complete short stories includes classic works such as the award-winning title story, which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 1971, as well as "Case and the Dreamer," a well-crafted tale of an encounter with a trans-spatial being that is also a meditation on love, and "The Widget], the Wadget], and Boff," a creative exploration of the human ability to achieve self-realization in response to crisis. The book includes a new Foreword, an illuminating section of Story Notes, and a comprehensive index for the entire series.
About the Author
Theodore Sturgeon (1918 1985) is considered one of the godfathers of contemporary science fiction and dark fantasy. The author of numerous acclaimed short stories and novels, among them the classics "More Than Human", " Venus Plus X", and "To Marry Medusa", Sturgeon also wrote for television and holds among his credits two episodes of the original 1960s "Star Trek" series, for which he created the Vulcan mating ritual and the expression Live long and prosper. He is also credited as the inspiration for Kurt Vonnegut s recurring fictional character Kilgore Trout.Sturgeon is the recipient of the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the International Fantasy Award. In 2000, he was posthumously honored with a World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement.
Spider Robinson, winner of three Hugos and a Nebula, was born in the Bronx and raised on Long Island, and has been a Canadian resident for 30 years. Holder of a bachelor's degree in English from the State University of New York, he worked as a folksinger and journalist before publishing his first story in "Analog "in 1973. He now lives with his wife Jeanne Robinson (co-author of the Hugo- and Nebula-winning Stardance trilogy) on an island outside Vancouver, B.C., where they raise and exhibit hopes.
Eleven of his 31 books are set in Callahan's Place, a fabulous tavern founded by a time traveler, where puns flow as freely as beer, and smell far worse. The most recent is" Callahan's Con" [Tor July 2003]. He has contributed a regular editorial column, "Future Tense," to Canada's national newspaper, " The Globe & Mail", since 1995. In 2000, he released Belaboring the Obvious", "a CD of original music with the legendary Amos Garrett ("Midnight at the Oasis") on lead guitar, and in 2001 he was a celebrity judge at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
Praise For…
"A consummate storyteller and someone whose stories had not only heart, but brains and depth."
—Connie Willis, from the foreword
"One of the all-time masters of the sci-fi short story. This multivolume project to bring many of his classic tales back into print is long overdue."
—Publishers Weekly
"Sturgeon's often tender explorations of alien minds were as carefully worked out as Faulkner's exploration of the mind of the idiot in The Sound and the Fury. His emphasis on psychology instead of blasters prepared the way for most modern masters of the science fiction genre."
—Stephen King
"Sturgeon was, in several senses, the conscience of modern science fiction."
—The New York Times
"Sturgeon's stories have an emotional impact unmatched by almost any other writer."
—Arthur C. Clarke
"One of the best writers in America … Sturgeon is a master storyteller certain to fascinate all sorts of readers, not only science fiction fans."
—Kurt Vonnegut
"Intelligent, humane, tantalizing stories, every one of which evokes the sense of wonder. Sturgeon's stories are treasures from Elfland."
—Carl Sagan
"A terrific writer; I enjoyed every word he published."
—Robert Heinlein
"Sturgeon wrote miraculous short stories.… He found his urgency directed in becoming the John Dos Passos, the William Faulkner, the Ring Lardner, the James Thurber, the Virginia Woolf of science fiction."
—Jonathan Lethem
"The most literate and lyrical writer science fiction ever had."
—Spider Robinson, from the afterword

Tasting Notes
A floral nose with hints of pineapple and apple. A fresh and elegant wine with good structure and a persistent aftertaste of yellow fruit.
Technical Notes
The vineyards are planted with Vermentino clones 639, 640, 856 in soil consisting of sand, gravel, clay and silt. After fermentation in stainless steel the wine aged six months on its lees and three months in bottle.
Additional Notes
The Prelius label reflects the fluid nature of a coastal lake which was once where the vineyards of the Maremma region in Tuscany are today. As the area has evolved, it has established itself as an excellent location for viticulture and winemaking. The Prelius vineyards are located on a hilltop along what was once the shore of the ancient lake, five kilometers (just over three miles) from the Tyrrhenian Sea.The winery has received high-profile recognition for its contemporary label design, including a "Gold Label" award from Vinitaly's International Packaging Competition and a "Red Dot" award by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany.

I'm a bit of a newbie and I'd really love any help.
I've got a profile site for different people that contains a custom field for each profile page (using wpcf-email)
When a visitor clicks on a "contact profile" link it takes them to a form e.g web.com.au/contact-profile/?ID=123
Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to do a function to make the ID actually pull the value of the profiles wpcf-email link?
I read that "The function you write will be hooked to this filter and can look up the ID from the wpcf fields, and return the email address. " but I can't work out how to set this up?
I tried
add_filter("gform_field_value_wpcf-email", "populate_wpcf-email");
function populate_email($value){
return get_post_meta( $value, "wpcf-email", true);
but that didn't work.
I'd love any help :)

Photo of the Week: Partnering to Protect Water Resources
March 22, 2013
On World Water Day, TechnoServe recognizes that water is central to everything we do.
Children gather water from the Kolla River in Ethiopia's Sidama Zone, one of Ethiopia's best-known coffee-growing areas. Sidama is home to more than 300 wet mills that process and wash coffee beans. These wet mills produce wastewater, some of which returns to the Kolla untreated, impacting the quality and safety of the water for those downstream.
In partnership with Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee and its Brown Gold brand, TechnoServe is working with wet mill operators along the Kolla River to implement a low-cost, sustainable approach to water treatment – vetiver grass wetlands. TechnoServe and Mother Parkers hope the vetiver wetlands can become a model for the area, and eventually the entire country.
On World Water Day, TechnoServe recognizes that water is central to everything we do. Learn more about our work in Ethiopia.

A live Beatle
This didn't make it into the readings calendar in the paper that comes out today/tomorrow, because we got the info too late, but I just thought I'd let all Beatles fans know that Paul McCartney will be doing a reading and signing of his children's book High in the Clouds this Friday at Third Place Books (17171 Bothell Way NE, 366-3333) at 1:30 pm. And it's free.
Speaking of being high, I was on a road trip recently and we listened to the best Beatles album Rubber Soul — don't argue! it is! — again and again. The best song on the best album is, obviously, "I'm Looking Through You," but I also recommend revisiting, for anyone who hasn't heard it in a while, "Girl," the song where they inhale incredibly loudly again and again. The louder you play it, the better.

August! Barbeque! Albany Area, NY!
Yah, so I'm planning late.. what of it??
In honor of L2A's visit to the capital region the first week in August, and the fact that we wanted to have a Big-Ass-Vegan-BBQ sometime in August, I give you -- this thread.
For people with interest in such things, I present the following 2 choices:
1. Sunday, August 2nd, Big-Ass-BBQ
2. Saturday August 22nd, Big-Ass-BBQ -- Sunday August 2nd, smaller gathering, still rockin'.
You can guess what my choice is!!!
Plus, August 2 is my BDay! What better way to spend it than with BBQ and vegpals?
I won't be able to come on August 2nd because I'm going to Montana for pre-California....pre-gaming. :)
I might be able to make it on the 22nd though!
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make either of these days =). NOM NOM NOM!
I'm excited!
I will probably be able to come for a few hours-the family is having a party at the same time, I just found out, but I will be going to both!
family smamly. we're having a BIGGER PARTY.
family smamly. we're having a BIGGER PARTY.

You gonna bring the hubby or kiddos? There will be other babies about.
probably not. since they are having family party, they would probably be pretty mad if i took the kids with me (there are relatives that have not met Lyle yet).
I will try, but its not looking good! I don't need to give them a reason to hate me. ;)
this potluck is gonna be EPIC esp if lotus is still around when it happens
I'm sure it will just as EPIC without me...but we'll see. ;) :flower:
yeah, seriously!
i also invited my friends B and A (plus bebe). there will be bebes all over the place! i will confirm when then confirm - they have a friend in town that weekend (veg) so... ?!?! we'll see.
epic! epic!
they are living down the street from you, that is for sure!
DR made a tasty potato salad the other night. i think i will bring some of that stuff. *drool*

Does anyone know how to repair crashed database tables? Our administrator login wasn't working properly (it wouldn't let us add new posts or update user settings). So we tried to get help from our site host Network Solutions. Please read their assessment and help me figure out how to solve this problem permanently!
"During the previous assistance, the primary cause of the site errors was crashed database tables. Repairing them through phpmyadmin should resolve them if they occur again. There is not a permanent fix as crashes are performance based. Likely the size of your database may be a contributing factor for this. It appears the database is getting rather large, The wp_options table is exceeding 300MB (and around 435,000 rows of data) due to what appears to be a order handling application is filling it up. If there is an option to remove old history through this plugin on your site, it may assist with this."
