Park up for talk-in
by Kate Smith
Former SAFC star set to hit bar.
Former Black Cats midfielder Bobby Park will take to the Black Cats Bar for a pre-match talk-in ahead of tonight's Wear-Tees derby.
Bobby Park joined Sunderland back in 1962 at the young age of 17.
The promising midfielder spent seven years at Roker Park, a time that saw his career hampered by serious injuries, before he eventually retired.
During his time in red and white he scored a crucial penalty against local rivals Newcastle United in front of a 51,950 crowd rescuing a point for his side.
Supporters can hear from the Scot when he visits the Black Cats Bar at around 7pm.
Ahead of every game at the Stadium of Light, a special guest takes to the Black Cats Bar for a pre-match chat.
Fans can also enjoy a complimentary dish of the day, free matchday programme and take advantage of drinks offers in the Black Cats Bar every matchday.

we unwrap the winning bottle in each 20-wine tasting, almost
always it turns out to be one of the most expensive. The
avenge price of our last 26 winners was $33.46, EXCEPT for
five fabulous values. Here they are, along with the number
of more expensive wines they defeated.
1) In the $10 to $15 range, Zinfandels are the most frequent best-value winners.
Two of our fabulous five are Zins.
2) The composition of the Aussie "Traditional" was 10% Petit Verdot, 20 Merlot
and 70 Cab.
3) Tasters' trap? Finally, does the order in which wines are tasted affect
the rating? We had ten wines contending for the above five spots and half
of them were the fifteenth wine tasted! Stay tuned.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Thank you for choosing JustAnswer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will try to assist you. To answer your question your first step should be to call the local child support office and get their help. It will not cost you anything and their function is to help collect support payments. Child Support enforcement can also seek criminal action against your ex for not paying.
If that does not work, you can hire an attorney and file for contempt to get funds paid. In many cases this can become an ongoing ordeal with additional legal costs to you depending on how obstinate your ex is in paying support.
So even though my son will turn 18 in April of 2014......the monies will have to be paid till the balance is zero correct? Also, how hard will child support enforcement try to collect for me after Austin is 18?
Yes the arrears in support are owed to you. The statute of limitations for collecting child support arrears in North Carolina is 10 years. This means 10 years from the date it was due. In your case it would limit support to the time since your child was 7 or 8 years old. The longer you wait the more your lose.
if you file a suit against your husband the arrears ca be reduced to a judgment. CSE is able to enforce that judgment for 10 years after the date of the judgment, even if the original statute of limitations expires within that time. This means if you get a judgment now you have an additional 10 years to collect the judgment amount.
Well the initial monies owed started in 2005...so I better hurry up. How do I go about suing him?
First contact Child Support Services to get their assistance. if they cannot or will not help, you will need to file a motion for Contempt against your husband asking for the total amount due as damages. The Court will order payments to start and make provisions for the arrearages owed.

Paris, 28 March 2013, Art Media Agency (AMA).
The Galerie Pièce Unique is presenting within the framework of Art Paris a series of landscape paintings and drawings by Erik Boulatov.
The Russian artist has established himself as one of the leaders of Russian conceptual art as of the 1960s. He is recognised and sought after both by major international museums and collectors, and his artistic approach lies on a sense of spatial construction.
The Galerie Pièce Unique, established in 1988, has a fresh and original concept. Located in the heart of the Saint-Germain district in Paris, it contains a special space devoted to one single artist, in order to display one of his site-specific creations. This work is visible within the gallery and illuminated until 2am. Moreover, the unique room of the gallery is entirely at the artists' disposal, and to house their works.

The M1 being a little down on power doesn't help. Dani continuing on with his form from last season's end doesn't help. Marc DEFINITELY doesn't help with his being a prodigy. Plus, Jorge is the team's #1, but that probably doesn't negatively affect Vale's machinery. I'm not ignorant, with wins looking hard to come by, but maybe 9 isn't such a bad number. Been a fan for the last 7 and I'll be watching as long as he willing to provide exciting battles, wherever they're happening.

Neil Simon is a comic playwright, but in 1983 his writing showed new depth with Brighton Beach Memoirs. The first of several autobiographical plays, this one features his alter ego, Eugene, at 14, growing up part of an extended family in the Brooklyn/Coney Island neighborhood of Brighton Beach, an enclave of second-generation Jewish immigrants.
Told with Simon's typical humor, the play employs situations and character rather than jokes to drive its humor. Using mild stereotypes — a bright kid, an overworked father, a controlling mother, a nervous aunt — it's is a heartfelt portrait of the stresses and strains of an intergenerational family crowded into a small home and trying to get by on limited resources in 1937.
It's a fine show for the Covedale Center to present with its emphasis on conservative values and family dynamics, played with wit and feeling.
Max Meyers totally gets the role of young Eugene, directly addressing the audience about the foibles and fears of his Jewish family, not to mention his struggles with the first pangs of sexual desire, stirred by his sweet 16-year-old cousin Laurie, played by Katie Hibner. Big brother Stanley (Jon Kovach) coaches Eugene while grappling with his own frustrations.
As Eugene's stern, fretful mother, Tracy M. Schoster has believable strength and Tara Williams is her nervous younger sister, widowed and struggling to raise two daughters. David Levy's world-weary father, trying to make ends meet and be the family's wise counselor, provides a fine portrait, too.
Covedale's wide stage makes the family's supposedly
cramped conditions too spacious and generic. The play's second act is
overly melodramatic, then resolves too neatly. The young actors (aside
from Meyers) are so focused on their own performances that they don't
connect effectively with the others. Nevertheless, Brighton Beach Memoirs is a very pleasant (if a bit overlong) production that audiences are likely to enjoy.

- Civil Rights 4 Dummies & Stunt Casting. But Whitaker is GREAT.There's a scene about halfway through Lee Daniel's "The Butler" that is perfect.
African-American White House butler Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) asks his boss, Mr. Warner, for equal pay for African American staff. They are paid less than white staff, he complains. The audience has been watching Cecil Gaines for a while now, and we know he is an admirable man. He certainly deserves equal pay.
Warner tells Gaines that if he is not happy with his salary, he can go work someplace else.
Gaines is trapped in an invisible prison of white supremacy, and he knows it. Whitaker's face shows all the agony of that moment. He quietly leaves Warner's office.
Forest Whitaker is utterly brilliant in this scene, as he is in the rest of this choppy, heavy-handed, misguided film.
That scene is worth the entire rest of the film "The Butler." That scene has everything the rest of the film lacks: subtlety, intelligence, and faith in its audience.
Otherwise, "The Butler" is Civil Rights for Dummies plus an overload of stunt casting.
"The Butler" tells the story of Cecil Gaines, an African American White House butler. The movie tells us it wants us to pay attention to this humble, working class man. The movie depicts none other than Martin Luther King Jr, right before his assassination, delivering a speech on the importance of domestic workers.
But the movie belies its own message. "The Butler" doesn't have faith in its audience. It believes that we won't pay attention to this humble, admirable butler. So the film dumps one big Hollywood star and tabloid celebrity after another in small roles, and the film beats us over the head with a dumbed-down, sensationalized, hate-whitey version of Civil Rights.
Stunt casting: Mariah Carey is on screen for about two minutes as Cecil's mother, and Vanessa Redgrave is on screen for about three minutes as his first employer. The casting of the presidents Cecil worked for is flagrantly weird. It's as if the movie wants to set the audience abuzz over why this or that actor was chosen. John Cusak as Richard Nixon? Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan?? Robin Williams as Dwight Eisenhower??? Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan???? Did the people who cast this film take any of it seriously? James Marsden, though, is fine as JFK.
Oprah Winfrey plays Cecil's wife, Gloria. Oprah gives a fine performance. The problem is, she is Oprah Winfrey, and her presence as a celebrity never left my mind as I was watching her. Rather than being moved by the plot, my mind wandered. I thought about her recent public scandals, the Swiss purse incident, and calling Trayvon Martin a modern Emmet Till. I thought about her boyfriend Steadman. I wondered why he has never married Oprah. Again, Oprah's performance was spot on, but the script was not compelling enough to allow me willing suspension of disbelief.
The film's dumbed down version of Civil Rights is aesthetically and historically criminal. In the first five minutes of the movie, the film depicts two African Americans lynched together beside an American flag. They remain on screen for quite a while. The film returns to the image. A black woman is raped by a white man. Again, weird casting: Alex Pettyfer, one of the most handsome men in the world, is the rapist. Why? Then a black man is killed. The n word is tossed around liberally. Crosses are scary the Klan burns one and attacks a freedom rider bus. The film eventually states, in so many words, that America was a "concentration camp" for African Americans for hundreds of years, worse than what the Nazis did to the Jews.
All the whites on screen are rich and powerful. All the blacks, including the Black Panthers, are good, innocent, humble, hard-working, harmless. The Civil Rights movement is all but exclusively black.
This just isn't true. Comparing the Holocaust to slavery and Jim Crow isn't accurate. The Black Panthers did some very bad things, including to their own members. Thousands were lynched, not millions, thousands of those lynched were white. The largest mass lynching in America was of Italian immigrants; Leo Frank was lynched for being a Jew.
African Americans made up roughly ten percent of the population; had whites not been part of the Civil Rights Movement, African Americans could never have achieved what they did. The film insists that the Civil Rights Movement was inspired by a "brown man," Gandhi. But in fact Gandhi was inspired by Tolstoy, Thoreau, Christ, and the Bhagavad Gita. The film alludes briefly to Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, but does not name them. The film refers to these Jewish Civil Rights martyrs only to cynically dismiss their sacrifice. Americans only care about dead whites, the film says. If that were true, the Civil Rights Struggle would not have achieved what it did. Jim Zwerg, a white man, endured a horrible beating on one freedom ride because he, like many Civil Rights heroes, was inspired by the Judeo-Christian tradition.
I've lived in the Indian Subcontinent, where the religiously mandated caste system, for millennia, has doomed Untouchables to lives in Hell. I lived in Africa, where the slave trade still flourishes. From a world perspective, the United States is not remarkable because it had slavery and Jim Crow. From a world perspective, the United States is remarkable because it produced the Abolitionists, John Brown, martyrs like Goodman and Schwerner and Viola Liuzzo and heroes like Jim Zwerg and Rabbi Heschel. "The Butler" presents an unbelievable conundrum a country populated exclusively by evil, rich white supremacists somehow magically changed in 2008 and elected an African American president and presto changeo everything was better for black people.show full movie reviewsource5/10
- Just another over-hyped, oprahization of American historyIt's always about race with anything Oprah touches and this grossly over-hyped movie is just another example.
One need only see the trailers, watch the clips on the entertainment shows or read user (not critics') reviews to get a hint of what you're in for if you choose to waste your money in a theater watching this tripe.
The film is very loosely based on a real life butler - Eugene Allen (1919-2010))- who had worked in the White House for 34 years from Truman in 1952 to Reagan in 1986.
If you want to know the real story of the real butler, read Wil Haygood's book OR do some research on the internet instead of lining Orca's over-sized pockets by subsidizing yet another fictionalized rewrite of history.
Here are 3 short examples:
ONE - In the movie, Oprah (as the butler's wife) brags that the White House called her husband to come work there. NOT SO. In reality, the real life butler got his entry level job by hearing that they were looking to routinely hire pantry workers at the White House.
TWO - In the film version, the butler's son serves in Vietnam and gets killed there. NEVER HAPPENED. Although the real life butler's son did serve in Vietnam, he is alive and well today. No matter to the makers of this film.
THREE - The real life butler never had a second son at all, let alone one who was a Black Panther as depicted in the film.
Like the liberal media, an agenda is in play here and this racially pandering movie is just another 2 hours of the oprahization of America - the essence of which is: black man good, whitey bad.
Waste of time, waste of money. Read the book if you care at all.show full movie reviewsource1/10
- highest accoladesI'll start by stating that I'm a 62 year old white male. I did not grow up in the South - but I did live for a year in Louisiana in the early 70's. I lived through every news event that was portrayed in the movie - that is, I saw and read about them in the actual news when these things happened. Many posters on the boards say that the movie is inaccurate. Then they go on to say things like: His name was changed, he didn't have 2 sons, he didn't look anything like Forest Whitaker, Nixon was miscast, etc. True, the details of The Butler's family life have been dramatized. That is called movie making. The movie was historically accurate in every important way. I don't say that every single detail was true, nor am I saying the portrayal of these historical events was 100% exactly as portrayed. But it is far more accurate (and important) than your average popcorn POS that pervades the theaters these days. I want to state that I have rarely, if ever, been as emotionally affected by any movie. It is brilliant, provocative, artistic, and has a social purpose. Like it or not, persons of African descent have been victimized, downtrodden, brutalized, persecuted, tortured, lynched, raped, and murdered - and only because of their skin color. HOORAY to Lee Daniels for making this movie! Hooray to Forest for being a sensitive, intelligent, highly gifted actor. Hooray to Oprah, whose performance is beyond stellar. Hooray to anyone involved with this movie. Not to say that ALL movies have to take you to the places that this movie does. I guess there is a place for Pacific Rim and Wolverine. So if you think that movies have no business delving into our racist and brutal history, then see one of those movies. But to say that this movie is irrelevant or inaccurate - well, as I said I lived through it all. It is not. What it is, is an exceptional, mature movie for those that want a little more than monsters (the fictional kind). My wife and I went through a whole packet of tissues - we were blubbering like fools. BRAVO!!!!! 9 (rather than 10) stars only because the 10 star reviews are often discounted as over- the-top hero worship. But if Ironman, The Avengers, etc are 10 stars (and I liked those), this movie rates 100 stars - because it is 10X better, more important, more relevant, and more thought provoking.show full movie reviewsource9/10
- Title Is MisleadingI was hoping to see a movie about the butler and his experiences in The White House. I'm sure he had a lot of interesting stories to tell and a lot of very interesting experiences in his many years in The White House. Yes, the movie was about a butler to some degree, but it was more about the civil rights movement and the evil white man. I would love to know more about the butler. I would love to have seen his experiences with the presidents the movie skipped over. I think in real life he must have been more interesting than he was portrayed. I also did not like the liberties the movie took with the real butler's life. He spoke of no horrible event on the cotton fields as a child. He had one son, not two. His son, who is still alive, was not a militant. His wife did not have a drinking problem, nor did she have an affair. Why add unnecessary drama? This movie will win awards because of its self righteousness, but not because it's that deserving.show full movie reviewsource4/10
- What a ShamThe actors in this movie were fantastic, however the "rewriting of history" was terrible.
The Butler's real name is Eugene Allen. Here is where the movie rewrote history: he did NOT have a son who died in Vietnam, he did NOT have a son who became a Black Panther, his mother was NO raped by a white cotton field manager, and his father was NOT murdered by the same white man.
So if you take this "made up" stories out of this movie, you have a much different movie. What a disservice to Eugene Allen. You would think that this story could have been a true story, at the very least the opening header should make a statement that this is a FICTIONAL movie.show full movie reviewsource1/10

I have 2 classes with this structure:
class ClassA {
String typeA;
List<String> valuesA;
... other fields go here
class ClassB {
String typeB;
List<String> valuesB;
... other fields go here
I need to map the valuesA to valuesB and in the custom coverter for this field mapping I need to access the typeA/typeB.
Something like: if typeA is "type1" then map valuesA to valuesB by some algorithm and if typeA is "type2" then map by a different algorithm the valuesA to valuesB.
Is this possible with Dozer?

Historic park will soon be history
With all due respect, but without the proper reverence for such a hallowed edifice, you would find no lack of volunteers to be the person who pushes the plunger on Yankee Stadium.
This is the final year for the long-ago renovated House That Ruth Built, to be replaced next season by a new Yankee Stadium costing more than a billion dollars, and surely some will lament the destruction of perhaps the most famous and historic facility in American sport.
On the other hand, for each of the memories and legends created by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson and, um, Tino Martinez, there was somebody else playing a role. The visitor, the victim, the vanquished.
The Padres, for example.
Returning now for probably their last appearance in this version of Yankee Stadium, the Padres come back with their own place in the lore of the Bronx Bombers, who had the winningest club in their incomparable history an even decade ago. The exclamation point of that 1998 season was a sweep of the Padres in the World Series.
To be sure, that was interleague of a different sort, interleague the way Abner Doubleday intended it.
"Anytime you have an opportunity to walk into Yankee Stadium, it's great," said Padres closer Trevor Hoffman, the lone remaining player from San Diego's most recent pennant-winning club. "But I don't think we could ever re-create everything that was going on the first time. The World Series. The season we were having. The monuments and all that are great, but when you're playing for a World Series in Yankee Stadium, that's what it's all about."
Still, Yankee Stadium has always been one of those places where even if nothing was happening there, you felt that being there was a happening. It brings out the romantic in any baseball person, save perhaps the ones in Boston and the borough of Queens.
"As a fan, when those gates open and you walk down the stairs (toward the field), you get the sense of the ballpark opening up as a curtain opens up on the stage," Hoffman said. "As a player, as you come up out of the tunnel, it's Wham!!! It's like the lights going on in a dark room. You see how much the upper deck hangs out over stadium, see all that Yankee blue, see the facade."
Taken altogether at once, it's quite the eyeful, very heady stuff. Gradually, first-time visiting players work their way out to the monument area beyond center field, a garden-like shrine with statues and plaques commemorating those who made Yankee history. This is where the Yankees get you into their trance, usually during the visiting team's series-opening batting practice.
"It's just a special place," said Padres designated hitter Tony Clark, who was with the Yankees when the Padres made that stop in '04. "It's like when you go to Wrigley, you're in the place where Ernie Banks played. You go to Fenway and it's where Ted Williams played. You go to Yankee Stadium, you're standing in the place where Ruth and Gehrig stood.
"What's better than that? How can you not love playing in a place like that?"
Some of the romance goes out of it once the suds start to flow, if not sooner. Yankees fans begin screaming bloody murder at you, suggesting stuff about your parentage that you didn't even know, pointing out that you really, really don't hit left-handers well and aren't all that attractive, either.
Some of the verbiage gets so vile, a player would even have second thoughts about taking his family to watch him play in Yankee Stadium.

Although, once again, I'm traveling on business this week, I have torn myself away from lesser matters to follow the latest news in the battle of The Sunshine State against "The Foreclosure King," David J. Stern. In April, we discussed the fact that the Florida Bar had filed a complaint against Stern that sought to take away his law license. As we observed at that time, perhaps a former assistant AG was correct when she predicted that Stern had made so much money from his foreclosure "practice" that he wouldn't care if the state took away his license to practice law.
It looks like we'll get a chance to see whether or not that sentiment is correct, because recently, Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Nancy Perez recommended that Stern be disbarred. The judge found that Mr. Stern had visited "massive injury" on the state's foreclosure system. In addition, she appeared to be particularly galled by Mr. Stern's claim that his deteriorating financial condition impaired his ability to withdraw from pending cases, an assertion she called a "misrepresentation."
The linked article lists all the money Stern made from selling his foreclosure-related enterprise before it went belly-up, and the amount of money he paid for real estate in Florida, which, apparently, he still owns. Nothing pays like running a foreclosure mill and bailing out at right time, I guess. The state may be winning its battle, but the only people who seem to care are the folks doing the pursuing. The pursued seems impervious to the financial consequences of the end-game.
In this case, "justice" might not only be exceedingly slow, but exceedingly irrelevant.

Candy Crush Saga Gets Sweeter With Dreamworld DLC
By Ryan Winslett 2 years ago comments
Its no secret that Candy Crush Saga is the it game of 2013, that one title that everyone and their mother is playing while sitting on the couch, waiting in line at the grocery store or in the break room during work. Well, it looks like developer King is looking to capitalize on that success, primed to release the games first batch of DLC starting today.
Going by the handle Dreamworld, this first content expansion for Candy Crush is now available via Facebook, iOS and Android, offering up a new game mode that, according to the developer, transports players to a parallel world of dream-inspired levels, introducing a magical twist to the traditional Candy Crush game.
Im sorry, maybe Im confused here, but havent we been playing with mountain of candies for the past year here? What part of that sweet little pastime isnt already inspired by dreams? Throw in a jetpack and a talking dragon and youve basically described a recurring fantasy of mine since I was five years old.
All of that aside, the new Dreamworld content will unlock for players after level 50 in the game proper. If youve already made it that far, it should unlock automatically as soon as you update to the latest version of the game. In this new mode, youll play the same game boards from previous levels, but now theyll be presented with a new game mechanic included.
Odus the Owl is chilling on a perch above the game board, teetering on the edge of balance. Your job is to clear candies while simultaneously keeping the left and right side of Odus perch from swaying too far in either direction.
This mode also offers up some new special effects, including the Moon Struck reward, which removes candies of a specific color from the board. All told, there are 65 Dreamworld levels available in todays update with play continuing to be seamless across Facebook and mobile devices. In other words, you can start playing on Facebook, pick up where you left off on your iPhone 62, then jump right back into the action on Facebook or another mobile device later in the day. Ah, simplicity.
According to King Games Guru (his title, not mine) Tommy Palm, the Candy Crush team are pretty-dang-excited to see the new levels and game mode get added to their hugely popular game.
We hope that the new Dreamworld mode will prove a fun twist for newcomers to the game and a tantalizing challenge for our loyal fanbase, Palm said in the DLC launch announcement. As with all our games, we endeavor to offer our valued players a regular flow of exciting new contentwe hope that they will love the new map as much as weve enjoyed developing it.

During their "Morning Kasheshe" segment, they announced that they would be taking the leap into the murky world of politics. But that was only half of the bomb they detonated. They have decided to ape the other politicians and go the way of political marriages and coalitions. They are promising to be joined by Julie Gichuru, Jeff Koinange, Caroline Mutuko and even Cess Mutungi would be on the ballot papers as part of their coalition.
King'ang'i asked who would be able to withstand such a political jaggernaut and that indeed is the million dollar question isn't it? I can just see TNA's Uhuru Kenyatta and hispolitical wife URP's William Ruto and ODM's Raila Odinga and his political wife Wiper's Kalonzo Musyoka clamouring to get into the party.
Wonder what name they's go by seeing as there's Uhuruto and Railonzo. Maybe Maing'ang'i or Mgeni. But i bet that title has set off the radar's of alot of these politicians.

Altamira is a mid-sized polity that, by virtue of its location, has become a trading hub. It sits at the juncture of two large seas and controls all trade between them, as well as influencing most overland trade to the south. Altamira has a long and rich history; centuries of feuding with its larger neighbors and playing one against the other have led to a political atmosphere of byzantine complexity. The Princes of Altamira can trace their lineage back, unbroken, almost 800 years to the fall of the Taleran Empire.
Besides its mighty Trade Houses and ports, Altamira is rich in natural resources. From the silver and iron of its mountains, to the sheep and goat farmers of the highland valleys, to the farmlands of the south and the fishing fleets of three seas, the nation's wealth and security are the envy of its neighbors.
In recent years, ties between Altamira and Cardez, its ancient rival to the north, have become closer. There is even talk of a Union of Houses afoot. Such a Union would likely destabilize the entire balance of power in the region, something that the Sularium, the Church of the Sun, is actively opposed to. There are rumors afoot of an Alliance being formed by the Arch-Prelate to defeat any union of Altamira and Cardez...

|Hospital co-sponsoring car seat check-up event this weekend
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 12 October 2012 17:53
Safe Kids Sandhills and Chase County Community Hospital will hold a child safety seat checkup event Saturday, Oct. 13, at Harchelroad Motors in Imperial. The event is from 2 to 4:30 p.m. and is free to the public.
During this event, certified child passenger safety technicians will inspect car seats for proper installation and to identify recalled seats. Replacement seats will be available at reduced cost for those needing new seats. There is no charge to have car seats checked.
Parents are encouraged to bring their children in their seats, so that proper fit can be ensured, and should plan approximately 30 minutes per seat. Parents should bring the owner's manuals to their vehicle and car seat, if available.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages one to 13. Crash data from the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for 2010 shows that about two children, 12 or younger, are killed and 325 were injured each day in passenger vehicles.
"You can never predict or control what other drivers might do or how the weather might change the safety of a roadway," said Scott Eveland, chapter coordinator for Safe Kids Sandhills.
"The best way to protect your kids is to put them in the right car seats for their age and size and use those seats correctly on every trip, every time, he said.
Eveland also urged parents to follow NHTSA's car seat recommendations that recommend parents and caregivers keep children in their restraint types for as long as possible according to manufacturer instructions before moving them to the next type.
For maximum safety, a parent or caregiver should have the car seat installation inspected by a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician to ensure their children are in the right seats for their age and size.
Children, 12 and under, should always ride in the back seat.
Here is some basic information by age:
Birth-12 months
For the best possible protection, your child under age one should always ride in a rear-facing car seat. There are different types of rear-facing car seats: infant-only seats can only be used rear-facing. Convertible and 3-in-1 car seats typically have higher height and weight limits for the rear-facing position, allowing you to keep your child rear-facing for a longer period of time.
1-3 years
Your child should remain in a rear-facing car seat until the child reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer. This may result in many children riding rear-facing to age two or older. Once your child outgrows the rear-facing car seat, your child is ready to travel in a forward-facing car seat with a harness.
4-7 years
Keep your child in a forward-facing car seat with a harness until the child reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the forward-facing car seat with a harness, it's time to travel in a booster seat, but still in the back seat.
8-12 years
Keep your child in a booster seat until the child is big enough to fit in a seat belt properly. For a seat belt to fit properly the lap belt must lie snugly across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder belt should lie snug across the shoulder and chest and not cross the neck or face.
There will be translators available at Saturday's event for Spanish-speaking residents. Also goodie bags will be passed out to all participating families.

Questions about the event may be directed to Heather Schoenholz at 308-882-7299. Parents may also visit www.SafeKidsNebraska.org for more information about car seat use and other events.

Ken Poole says the Welsh Government urgently needs to refocus on overseas opportunitiesAugust 23rd, 2011
The debate on the merits of inward investment over the past 30 years has been more vitriolic and passionate in Wales than elsewhere in the UK. While competitor regions such as Scotland and Ireland have had a consistent positive approach to inward investment, Wales has fallen in and out of love with it in ways which have confused potential and existing investors, to the benefit of our competitor regions.
In the early 1970s Wales was one of the first economic regions in Europe to recognise the potential of inward investment. A succession of dedicated organisations was established to respond to the market. The Development Corporation for Wales was followed by Winvest and then the Welsh Development Agency. We recognised the emerging sector market opportunities in automotive, electronics and the geographical originator markets of Japan, Korea, USA, Germany and France.
Wales was regarded as a market leader and exemplar of best practice. Global household names like Panasonic, Sony, Aiwa, LG, Ford and Bosch established significant manufacturing investment across Wales. At that time Wales demonstrated a well developed understanding of the market and its drivers. It provided a powerful low cost proposition built around a competitive offer and a location offering a springboard into the European Community. Wales' offer consisted of grants, low cost serviced land, plenty of readily available high quality advanced buildings, and a competitively priced labour force supported by pragmatic trade unions.
Wales understood the market and delivered what the market required efficiently. The then effective Team Wales approach was recognised by companies and competitors as a compelling unique selling point.
During the 1970s and early 1980s inward investors were employing large numbers of people and assisting in the diversification of the economy away from steel and coal. Inward investment was seen as a solution to diversification and mobilisation of under-utilised labour resources, both male and female. There was no question of investors being targeted for innovation or their contribution to the emerging knowledge economy. Rather, they were creating the large number of jobs that Wales needed.
During the early 1990s, the volume of inward investment projects flowing into Wales peaked at around 15 per cent of the UK total, in terms of project value and employment creation. However, over the following 20 years, Wales' share of UK inward investment has steadily fallen away.
The love affair with inward investment began to sour between 1998 and 2008 during which time 171 foreign owned site closures occurred in Wales with the loss of 31,000 jobs, mainly in manufacturing. Many of these companies were heavily criticised and the value of inward investment questioned. However, job losses in sectors such as electronics, automotive components, textiles and call centres were predictable as the companies and their products or services were becoming uncompetitive. They required lower cost locations with many choosing Eastern Europe as new investment locations.
The same trend was occurring in Ireland and Scotland, yet they continued to refine their inward investment strategy and reinforced their inward investment presence globally in the face of market changes. In Wales we continued to promote Wales with the same proposition and failed to recognise that these emerging pressures could not be halted. Whilst there were some successes, there were certainly not enough.
Not only was Wales losing existing investors, we were also failing to capture new opportunities from a new inward investment market. This was one in which high level skills, innovation, linkages, and access to knowledge were the key drivers rather than low cost buildings and labour.
By 2008-09 Wales was securing just over 6 per cent of all new jobs created by foreign inward investment projects in the UK, well below the earlier peak of 15 per cent. This figure fell to 4 per cent during 2009-10, and we now trail our main traditional competitor regions.
In terms of project mix, a large proportion of projects coming into Wales continue to be in manufacturing, followed by services, with a relative lack of higher value investments in knowledge and R&D fields and headquarters projects.
The 2011 Welsh Labour manifesto 2011 signalled a renewed interest in inward investment with a declaration that Wales is "open for business… whether they are Wales based or an inward investor". This is a welcome positive approach. However, there is a lot to do if we are to be in a position to secure companies in some of the globally competitive sectors that Wales requires.
One of the first priorities for the new Government is to get the message into the inward investment market that Wales is hungry for new investment. This is important as 2010 saw a revival in the global inward investment market for the first time since the credit crisis two years previously. Ireland's long term commitment to securing inward investment has seen it secure a top ten place amongst European locations despite its current fiscal weaknesses.
Hopefully, Welsh Labour's manifesto and recent statements by the First Minister will be the beginning of a new love affair with inward investment for Wales. If so we need a new strategy, a new focus and a long term commitment to this vitally important source of future investment.

5 Responses to:"Falling in and out of love with inward investment"
Siôn Jones says:
I do agree we need to attract R&D as well as the more mundane production lines. Control over our own Corporation tax would help – we could offer lower rates for companies locating their high value activities here.
Jeni says:
Wales will have a long way to go to develop the strategic relationships nurtured over the past three decades by Ireland and Scotland, and the dividend now enjoyed inspite of global recession. I fear that the introspection of the Welsh Government and its diversion of resources to, for example, the Welsh language is reflected in our disappointing economic record, dependency culture and falling educational standards.
Owain says:
"I fear that the introspection of the Welsh Government and its diversion of resources to, for example, the Welsh language is reflected in our disappointing economic record, dependency culture and falling educational standards."
Merely another stereotypical rant aimed at the Welsh language.
Ken Poole seems to forget that the "love affair with inward investment began to sour" when companies realised they could not continue to take advantage without any fear of accountability as had been commonplace with the Tories' reign on our Principality. The WDA is held with great esteem nowadays but I remember when they would willy-nilly hand out money with an invitation to take advantage. When Andrew Davies clawed some money back from LG (but not even half) investors abroad must have heard the alarm bells.
David Lloyd Owen says:
Jeni, I would suggest that to associate the Welsh language with falling educational standards is false. In the case of Sir Benfro / Pembs, Ysgol Y Preseli got 41% 'As' at A level this year, roughly double the level of the county's non-Welsh medium schools. This is not exceptional. What is also unexceptional is those who look down at the Welsh language have a habit of looking down at facts.
Jeni says:
David, I was referring to the norm not the exception, and think there is sufficient evidence to support what I claim. The recent comments of Vice-Chancellor of Bangor University also reinforce the argument that the Welsh Government must look outside Wales to attract high calibre international research teams to our academic institutions. The Welsh lanaguage has its value but as far as international competitiveness is concerned, it is of little consequence. On another matter, the failure to attract young doctors to our hospitals (North West and Mid Wales in particular) is perhaps another indicator of our need to compete on a national and international basis.

Listen to radio on-the-go with these Android apps
Back in the 80s The Buggles sang "Video Killed the Radio Star." Despite the song's prediction, radio is still alive and kicking. It has changed somewhat over the years, but is still one of the best forms of communication. Today's list looks at some of Android apps that allow you to take your favorite radio stations with you wherever you go.
iHeartRadio (Free)
iHeartRadio is probably one of the most popular radio apps for Android. When you first start it up you are given the option of creating an account or just looking for stations. The top menu has Live Stations, Create Custom Station, and My Stations, an area where your favorites are kept for easy access. When you access the Live Station section, you can search by station name or location. The local search option uses your phone's location to find stations. The other option is to search by U.S. city. Finally, you can search stations by genre, which is broken up into talk radio and music & entertainment.
Overall, the app is very much like its website. There are a huge number of genres and stations to choose from when searching. Within the app there are a number of interesting features: You can filter out stations with explicit content for those under 13. There is also Ford SYNC, which I assume will work with Ford vehicles. You can enjoy the app without logging-in, but to create favorites or share songs you will need an account. This is a free app but I did not see any extra ads in it.
Live365 Radio (Free)
When you first start the app, you can type in what you are looking for or browse through the 23 genre they have listed. Within each genre, there are a number of options from which to choose. Once you have made a selection, a list of the appropriate stations will appear. When a song begins, you can get information on the station and the song. With each song you will be able to like/dislike it, make it a favorite or share with others via Facebook, Twitter and email.
The app is very straightforward and has a few options to it. You can set the streaming mode, the buffer settings (5-25 sec), and the connection quality. You can change the app theme and even scan Livio devices via Bluetooth. There is also a corresponding website. The app features banner ads and radio ads. You can get rid of these by becoming a VIP.
Stitcher Radio - News & Talk (Free)
When the app begins you will be asked to log-in. You can register with Facebook or with an email address. The main reason to use Facebook is so you can share with friends. If you want to listen on the Stitcher website, you will need to log-in there also. You will be asked to select three topics of interest. Based on your interests, the app will create a favorites station which is made up of seven different stations. Once that is done, then you can hit the main screen. Here you have four options: On Demand Shows, Live Radio, Front Page and My Favorites. The custom station that was initially created will be under My Favorites.
The Live Radio section will allow you to search for nearby stations, browse Internet-only stations, or by state, and then city. On Demand Shows section will allow you to search by interest or sources. The Front Page section is the news in various sound bytes. The app does not have a lot of options but you can setup notifications, play your favorites when you start the app, enable sharing, and play new only (probably for programs). The app is ad supported.
TuneIn Radio Pro ($6.99)
TuneIn Radio has a very simple user interface. The top menu has Favorites, Browse and Recordings. The browse button takes you to the main screen that gives you the following areas: Local radio (based on your phone), Recent and Recommended. The radio stations are broken into music, news, sports, talk, location, language, and podcasts. When you go into the music section, then you can select by genre.
You can listen to the app without an account but you can link the app with Facebook, Twitter or email if you like. The app has a nice car mode where main screen is broken up into four large buttons with one allowing voice search. There are a few settings to take note of: push notifications, shake device to find related stations, auto reset and buffer before play. There is also a free version of the app.
XiiaLive – Instant Radio (Free)
Xiialive is powered by Shoutcast. Overall, the app has a very minimalistic look to it. The main screen has all the buttons you will need to access: Top hits, Genre, Search, Favorites, Tags, History, Settings and Player. When you select a button, the menu will move to the top of the screen. The app is pretty much set up to find stations via a genre, not location. Once you find a station you like, add it to your favorites to find it quickly.
The app has a ton of settings. You can set an alarm, turn animations on/off, set to have full screen, and determine the screen timeout. With the app itself you can change the theme, scan options, Bluetooth, stream settings, buffering length, even backup and restore your preferences. If you need help setting up the app, there are videos online. The free version is supported by banner ads but you can remove them with the pro version.

Kye Kye's crowd-funded fantasy comes true
Music | Electronic Christian band embraces alternative promotions and backing to produce its second album, Fantasize
As "Salt over sugar" in the Nov. 16 issue of WORLD looks at the changes in Christian music due to the industry's digital revolution, we wanted to profile artists who represent this trend. Today we look at the band Kye Kye and its use of online marketing.
At the end of 2012, the band Kye Kye raised nearly $41,000 in 30 days through Kickstarter to create its second album, Fantasize. Band members hadn't spent any money on publicity, but word of their ethereal electronic music spread as they opened for musicians like John Mark McMillan and Future of Forestry, and fans shared their music and videos with their friends.
"It makes fans feel like they are a part of something special," said Tommy Phelan, the group's drummer. "It's humbling to see that 1,000 people wanted to see it happen."
It's been three years since Kye Kye—made up of siblings Tim, Olga, and Alex Yagolnikov, and Phelan, Olga's husband—released its debut album, Young Love. Filled with guitar-driven melodies, layered synthesizers, and haunting vocals, the album expressed the "initial spark" of the spiritual awakening the band went through a few years ago. Lyrics, such as these from the song "Introduce Myself" (see video below), convey this exciting young love: "Bliss, it's not what I've done / It's you that died and made loss so full of life / Friend, is it love I hear? / To have your words in my mind, it's so clear."
And fans wanted to hear more. Pledges to support the new album came in between $1 and $3,500, with donors having chances at prizes like advance copies of the album, a year's worth of merchandise, and a 30-minute Skype session with the band. Kye Kye, which is the phonetic spelling of the Greek symbol for church (Chi of Chi-Rho), has finished recording the album and plans to release Fantasize early next year. Tim Yagolnikov said this album goes beyond the initial "honeymoon phase" in their spiritual lives and digs into the struggles, the questions, and the journey of a long-term relationship with God: "We think about a lot of these things as honestly as we can. That's what connects with people, being honest with where we're at."
The Estonian-born Yagolnikov siblings grew up in a Christian home, where music was always a part of their lives. Tim initially played in another rock band and felt frustrated having to articulate his ideas to others, so he went to a Guitar Center store and bought programming software, allowing him to experiment and create his own music. Around the same time, Olga had taught herself the guitar, and the two realized that her vocals blended well with Tim's programming. Tim then quit his band and the two started writing together, pulling in their brother Alex on the piano and Tommy Phelan on the drums.
The unsigned band has enjoyed its independence, not wanting to lose control of its sound or its content. It's allowed band members to write songs that express what's going on in their lives without the outside pressures from Christians who want every song to be a "crazy Jesus song" and secular fans who want them to sing less about their faith.
"We're just going to write about what we are inspired by," Alex said. "If we were inspired by nature and rivers we'd write about that, but it just so happens we're inspired with a relationship with God and life and that's what we write about."
Without a label, Kye Kye had to do everything on its own for the first two years—it wasn't until this year that the group hired a booking agent, a distributor, and a manager. To promote its music, the band has posted videos, photos, and interviews online to get people talking. Yet with all the hype around social media, Kye Kye is keeping music the focus.
"We do love social media but we really want to turn tables around to make it all about the music," Olga said. "We live in a generation where it's all about a single and making a hit, and I just feel like with that kind of mentality you don't really ever leave that; you don't make history."
And to make that history, the band takes the individual strengths of each member and layers them on top of each other to create a finished masterpiece. Olga often starts writing the vocals to a song, then sends it over to Tim, who adds the electronic elements. Other times, Tim sends a chunk of a song he's written to Olga, who then writes in her part. Then all the members get together to work out the kinks and add the final touches.
Part of that coordination that creates a cohesive sound to the band's music comes from the familiarity of family. Because they've grown up together, they understand each other's personalities and quirks, and know how to handle conflict.
"Being family makes it so much easier through struggles or seasons of life," Alex said. "Knowing your siblings are there with you on the road makes it feel like home on the road. I really wouldn't have it any other way."

text: So I'm out on my new rush, enjoying the afternoon, tackling hills etc. when I decide to head behind this high school near where I live to get some water from the water fountains back there. As I was approaching, slowly, while backpedaling lightly to keep my speed under control I had to go over these thin yellow plastic speedbump things bolted to the concrete. One was loose. My front wheel somehow got sucked under the un-bolted corner and needless to say I endo-ed. Tore up my bar tape on both sides though the bike only landed on the left, which I find odd. Also scratched the top of the stem up and slightly tacoed the wheel. Its rubbing in two equidistant places, so I'm assuming its slightly tacoed anyway. Damn, second ride out and I'm already breaking this thing.

Sardo is a semi-hard to hard cow's milk cheese from Argentina. It is an Italian style grating cheese, but should not be confused with Pecorino Sardo (also called Fiore Sardo) which is a sheep milk cheese from Italy. Sardo is sometimes called Argentine Sardo or Sardo Argentino to distinguish itself from the Italian cheese.
Sardo is light yellow in color, and formed into wheels that are about 6 lbs. in weight. The flavor is rich, but sill mellow, and somewhat salty. It is used both as a snacking cheese in cooking. It goes well on top of pasta, in soups, or with steamed vegetables.
Where to buy
Sardo can be purchased online at amazon.com.

Poem Title:
Where are you, my beloved? Are you in that little Paradise, watering the flowers who look upon you As infants look upon the breast of their mothers? Or are you in your chamber where the shrine of Virtue has been placed in your honor, and upon Which you offer my heart and soul as sacrifice? Or amongst the books, seeking human knowledge, While you are replete with heavenly wisdom? Oh companion of my soul, where are you? Are you Praying in the temple? Or calling Nature in the Field, haven of your dreams? Are you in the huts of the poor, consoling the Broken-hearted with the sweetness of your soul, and Filling their hands with your bounty? You are God's spirit everywhere; You are stronger than the ages. Do you have memory of the day we met, when the halo of You spirit surrounded us, and the Angels of Love Floated about, singing the praise of the soul's deed? Do you recollect our sitting in the shade of the Branches, sheltering ourselves from Humanity, as the ribs Protect the divine secret of the heart from injury? Remember you the trails and forest we walked, with hands Joined, and our heads leaning against each other, as if We were hiding ourselves within ourselves? Recall you the hour I bade you farewell, And the Maritime kiss you placed on my lips? That kiss taught me that joining of lips in Love Reveals heavenly secrets which the tongue cannot utter! That kiss was introduction to a great sigh, Like the Almighty's breath that turned earth into man. That sigh led my way into the spiritual world, Announcing the glory of my soul; and there It shall perpetuate until again we meet. I remember when you kissed me and kissed me, With tears coursing your cheeks, and you said, "Earthly bodies must often separate for earthly purpose, And must live apart impelled by worldly intent. "But the spirit remains joined safely in the hands of Love, until death arrives and takes joined souls to God. "Go, my beloved; Love has chosen you her delegate; Over her, for she is Beauty who offers to her follower The cup of the sweetness of life. As for my own empty arms, your love shall remain my Comforting groom; you memory, my Eternal wedding." Where are you now, my other self? Are you awake in The silence of the night? Let the clean breeze convey To you my heart's every beat and affection. Are you fondling my face in your memory? That image Is no longer my own, for Sorrow has dropped his Shadow on my happy countenance of the past. Sobs have withered my eyes which reflected your beauty And dried my lips which you sweetened with kisses. Where are you, my beloved? Do you hear my weeping From beyond the ocean? Do you understand my need? Do you know the greatness of my patience? Is there any spirit in the air capable of conveying To you the breath of this dying youth? Is there any Secret communication between angels that will carry to You my complaint? Where are you, my beautiful star? The obscurity of life Has cast me upon its bosom; sorrow has conquered me. Sail your smile into the air; it will reach and enliven me! Breathe your fragrance into the air; it will sustain me! Where are you, me beloved? Oh, how great is Love! And how little am I!

Ways to Talk to Your Partner
It may seem scary talking to sex partner(s) about your infection, but it's important that they get treatment too. If these are people you may keep having sex with, its even more important to discuss—if one partner is untreated, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be passed back and forth over and over.
Know the facts about your STI so that you feel confident explaining it to someone else. If you are uncomfortable, they will be uncomfortable.
Ways to Feel Better About Talking to Your Partners

CHICAGO (AP) _ Chicago is looking at the idea of raising cash by
selling naming rights to public property.
The city has hired a marketing firm to look at events,
buildings, and other assets to figure out what might be most
attractive to companies looking to attach their names to the city
in some way.
Maybe the ''Old Navy Pier''? The ''Microsoft Magnificent Mile?''
The ''Lowe's El''?
The $285,000 contract calls for plans to be presented to a group
of civic leaders.
Chicago wouldn't be the first city to sell naming rights. Nextel
has sponsored the Las Vegas Monorail, and New York has partnered
with Snapple, Verizon and Pepsi.

Images: National Disaster Medical System exercise [Image 2 of 10]
Photo by Senior Airman Kenneth Norman
U.S. Air Force Maj. David Ferguson, 315th Aerospace Medicine Squadron flight nurse, gives a thumbs up for patients to be loaded into a C-17 Globemaster III during a National Disaster Medical System exercise at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., May 14, 2014. The 315th Airlift Wing hosted a NDMS exercise to enable active, reserve and guard service members along with civilian agencies the ability to demonstrate medical rescue and treatment skills. The event took place at both Joint Base Charleston, S.C., the location of the simulated earthquake incident where patients received initial treatment, and Greenevill, S.C., where patients were evacuated to for follow-on care. The NDMS is designed to augment the Nation's medical response capability in a way that assists State and local authorities dealing with the medical impacts of a major disaster during peacetime while also providing support to military and the Department of Veterans Affairs medical systems.

very well done. Definitely a show for younger children which needs to be emphasized in the advertising. Please know that We really appreciated the accommodations your company and the theater worked out for my wheelchair ahead of time, It made our trip to the city a lot less complicated!
Quotes & Highlights
"Masterly clowning with its own originality… Pure family fun." —The New York Times
"Literally riotous – as in funny that the audience did more than just laugh – than any theatrical experience within memory." —_Los Angeles Times _
Visit the Aga-Boom web site for more information and videos.
Rooted in a distinct European theatrical style and encompassing the universal language of clowning, Aga-Boom cuts through the barriers of language and culture with the art of slapstick, the humor of physical comedy and the delighted excitement of childhood featuring veteran Cirque du Soleil performers.
The show, which has been seen around the globe by over 500,000 people, is interactive mayhem that carries audiences to the other side of the funhouse mirror, with outrageous zaniness, unrestrained laughter, and more paper and confetti than a ticker-tape parade!

Hippodrome (At Meydani)
Sultan Ahmet Square (Sultanahmet Meydani or At Meydani)now covers the former site of the Hippodrome and largely follows its ground plan and dimensions. Pavement marks the course of the old race track and several interesting monuments remain as well. You can't miss the towering Obelisk of Theodosius, the oldest monument in all of Istanbul. Made of pink granite, it was originally erected at the Amun Re temple at Karnak in Egypt, but was brought to Istanbul by the Emperor Theodosius in the fourth century. South of the Obelisk, you will find a spiral column that once formed part of a golden basin brought to the city by Constantine the Great from the temple of Apollo in Delphi. You can also see what is known as the Walled Obelisk – the stone core of a 10th century obelisk that was once covered with bronze plaques. At the base of the obelisks and column, you can see where the original ground level of the Hippodrome once stood, about 2.5 meters below ground.
Near the northern entrance to the square, you will find the Kaiser Wilhelm's Fountain, a stone gazebo with a mosaic-tiled dome that was a gift from the Kaiser in 1901.

In earlier times, Kongling An was also called Virtue Rock, Stone Bell Mountain, Hanging Bell Rock and Lion Rock. In South and North Dynasty---508 A.D. Emperor Liangwu assigned people to build Kongling Temple, where stood the Kwain-yin statue. So it was also called Kwain-yin Rock.
Kongling An has a long history. In 769-770 A.D. of Tang Dynasty, the famous poet Dupu brought his family here by boat to sight-see Xiangjiang River and visited Kongling An, and he also expressed his wish to settle down here in his poem Odd to Kongling An. In 1804, the Qing Dynasty, Hu Guanjing Built Dugong Pavilion on the right side of Kongling Temple and caved Dupu's poem Odd to Kongling An on it. The 15th year of Emperor Daoguang (1835 A.D.) the area was enlarged and the pavilion of Kongling Temple was repaired. And in the 5th year of Emperor Guangxu (1879) Feng Jingchuan as the head was responsible for the repair of the pavilion, and the size was enlarged again, it formed Kongling Temple, Long Whistle House, King hiding Cabinet and Dupu Hall. Later Peng Yulling presented plum blossoms and caved them in the stone, and the Plum Blossom Pavilion was built. In the first year of Republic of China (1912), Liu Yixue, Deng Guangqiao proposed to repair the pavilion. And in 1936, Du Zhenyuan collected money to repair Kongling Temple. But because of the war and denudation, Kongling Temple resulted in disrepair in 1968.
The burning incense is dense in Kongling Temple and its reputation spread far off. There once a lot of high officials coming here to improvise poems. In October, 1987, Tang Yingtao, the Hunanese-Taiwanese, suggested by Xiao Boliang, member of Ai Mi prefectural Committee of CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference), organized overseas Chinese to denote to rebuild Kongling Temple, and prefectural government appointed Mo Gaoyao to organize people to repair. Along the rock built gate, plank road, Three Saint Temple, Lection Storing Building, Daxiong Temple, Bell and Drum Pavilion, and monk huts, which covered 960 m2. The red wall and golden tile were very magnificent. Vice-premier Fang Yi inscribed the stele on which the Chinese characters Kongling An, vice president of Committee of CPPCC and president of Chinese Buddhists Association Zhao Pu inscribed the stele of Tree Saint Temple, inscription calligrapher Li Li inscribed the stele on which Chinese character Buddhist spirit spreads, and national famous calligrapher Li Feng inscribed the golden stele of Daxiong Temple.
