- I am not revisiting this restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/31/2014This restaurant was a huge mistake. Server took our drinks and appetizer order within 5 minutes. Drinks arrived within reasonable amount of time, however the appetizer took a while. We ordered our main course (Shrimp scampi and grilled Snapper) while enjoying our appetizer. 30 minutes later server comes back to tell us they were out of Snapper. We did not want to wait too long for food, so we replaced it with fish & chips. Our dinner entrees finally arrived an hour later (server nowhere to be seen).When we checked the final bill, we were charged for drinks we did not order. It was a terrible experience and we were left alone for most of the 2 hours it took them to serve our food. Never visiting this restaurant again.Special Features:
- Expected MoreOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014Tuna Tartare preparation was odd / not very good - ordering a filet at a seafood restaurant wasn't a good call, as it came back wayyy overcooked, then had to wait 15 minutes for the re-fire. Drinks / service / views were great though.Special Features:

- Great View of Bay and MarinMVdinerDined on 8/28/2014Been here a number of times. The view across the bay to Marin all the way around to Berkeley is great. Prices for most entrees are ~$18 to $30+ range. Petrale sole was OK. I would try other dishes before reordering it. Fish and chips was actually pretty good.Special Features:

- fantastic dining experienceDawnaVIPDined on 8/23/2014In every way, this evening was magical for our celebration with our parents.

- Love this placeSusieQDined on 8/20/2014Even though I'm a local, it's a pleasure to come to tourist spot Ghirardelli Square for a meal here. Happy hour is the best, however, if coming to this pricey restaurant for the first time. Join their Landry's club for $25 and get $25 off your next visit. Earn points for future discounts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- worth the waitamyb19Dined on 8/16/2014We had reservations but still waited 20 min. But well worth it! Liked the view, food, serving size, and the atmosphere ....except those who have there young children with them and avoid attempting to look nice. Overall was still romantic and we enjoyed it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Relaxing amid the tourist throng!SusanlamoDined on 8/16/2014My goodness! From the open table reservation option (always easy!) to the greeter, to our wonderful server, Henry, to the fabulous view and even more fabulous food, this restaurant cannot be beat! The prices were about the same as most places of this caliber, but the location right in Ghiradelli Square in San Francisco was convenient. Make a reservation! The place is huge, and for our last evening in SF, they escorted us to a very secluded-seeming table, even though the place was crowded, the placement of the tables made it seem very private. I highly recommend this place!Special Features:
- Excellent Meal and Incredible ViewfoodmasterDined on 8/16/2014We loved the quality of food, service, location and view. You cannot go wrong with McCormick & Kuleto's. I would suggest making reservations to insure a table and the best view.Special Features:
- Excellent Service, Great FoodPedalMoreDined on 8/16/2014We visited as a group of five in the family with ages mostly in the teens. View of SF Bay was amazing as we were seated right by the windows. Michael was our waiter and made the experience a great and memorable one. Menu includes a lot of options and I have never been disappointed with the food quality coming from other McCormick's I have visited and McCormick and Kuleto was no exception. Delivery of food was timely, Michael was very knowledgeable about all things on the menu and even gave us a recommendation for the dessert we had planned nearby at Ghiradelli. Definitely a great experience dining in San Francisco.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family Birthdaypamk1Dined on 8/16/2014Restaurant was able to accommodate a family birthday dinner. They split the check to three credit cards. Food was presented nicely and the server was very attentive. Would definitely return if in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, great ambianceBarneyDined on 8/15/2014The good was good and fresh, you can't beat the ambiance and the view! Service was also superb!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the sameKiwiKevDined on 8/14/2014I have been to this restaurant several times over the and 10 years and always remembered it for the outstanding food. I can no longer say it is memorable. The Calamari appetizer used to be outstanding, crisp and plentiful and now it is soggy small mess with chilies thrown in. We ate there Thursday night and it is now Sunday and I cant really remember what I had for a main meal. I do remember the cheesecake two of use shared for desert - it was billed as a NY Cheesecake but I would say it came from a Betty Crocker recipe book from the 60's! Our waiter was great though and the view is nice!Special Features:
- OutstandingJimmyDined on 8/13/2014Best crab cake I had all trip, excellent shrimp scampi and halibut. Terrific service. And of course a fantastic and romantic view. Always worth a visit each trip to SF!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/12/2014My boyfriend and I dined here for the first time on a Tuesday night. The menu honestly did not blow us away, so we ordered a variety of appetizers/sides to create a meal. The first item, calamari was great, as was the complementary bread. We ordered single drinks to start as we dined window-side, watching the sun set. All of this gave us the impression that dinner would be great. Unfortunately, things were not as wonderful as anticipated. Food took about an hour to arrive! While we waited empty-handed and had finished our drinks, the bottle of wine we ordered at the beginning did not arrive until maybe 10 minutes before the food. We did get comp. wine for the long wait, but overall, the experience left a meh taste in our mouths.Special Features:
- Great View but Lackingsunnyside1VIPDined on 8/12/2014Great View for out of town guests. Tourists love this restaurant. However, the seafood & tuna was old and the service was really lacking.Special Features:
- Everything was great!MaryDined on 8/12/2014The food, service and ambiance were great! The scenic view is fantastic!Special Features:
- Very beautiful viewsSusieQDined on 8/11/2014Love this place, especially for happy hour. Wish there were more vegan options! Yes I know it's seafood but you need more sides and offer more options without dairy or fish. And less salt!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointingKikoDined on 8/9/2014We were celebrating our anniversary and had a reservation at 8:30 PM. We were not seated until 10:00 PM. Many people who did not have reservations were seated ahead of us. Our Anniversary celebration was ruined by the managements very poor customer service. We were not compensated for their extremely poor customer service. We do not recommend this restaurant and will never go to this restaurant again. We will be going to another area restaurant this evening to enjoy the Bat Areas excellent seafood.Special Features:
- One of SFs best dining views...cyn88Dined on 8/9/2014Sweeping Views, Food Is Slowly Served, With Good flavor, Staff Is Plentiful But Poorly Trained.The Absolute "Best" Crabcake In SF! Steer Clear Of The Weekend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So glad we went here!connbatesDined on 8/9/2014Our dinner was so great! It was packed when we got there (7:15pm reservation Saturday night in August) so we had to wait about 15 min, but once we were seated everything went perfectly. We had an outstanding table with beautiful views of the bay. They had a variety of creative and delicious cocktails. Our waitress was so nice and also professional. I got the dungeness crab with pasta (strazopretza?) and loved it. Everyone at our table liked their food including our two chidren aged 8 and 11. The restaurant is loud which to me is better for kids than a more quiet restaurant, but it is still not totally casual (i.e. t shirts and shorts are not the norm). Overall the four of us had an outstanding memorable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- beanyDined on 8/9/2014we have been here twice recently. both times were mediocre. the scallops were bland and the kale was tough and added nothing. the last time we were there (last weekend) the scampi was bland and i had to wait for the staff the add more garlic so my dinner companions were finished when my dinner arrived. i sent it back pretty much untouched.Special Features:
- One of a kind locationjbchamp3xDined on 8/9/2014Always love this treat...service was great, food was solid as always and you just cannot beat this view any time of year!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- McC and K Outstanding Again!FoodNaziDined on 8/9/2014We always take visitors to them for lunch or diner because they prepare foods outstandingly. Linguini and clams perfect in a very light sauce, not the cream and butter fat pill you get elsewhere. Great service by pleasant wait staff as usual. The view is fantastic for watching Polar Bear Club swimmers, the three masted ship tied to the dock. Banana cream pie is fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Take a jacket with youOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014The air conditioning was too cold, we were freezing the all time ! Outside temperature was warmer as inside, note that in San Francisco it was only 60 that eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a Great TimeNative2CADined on 8/8/2014Again, the service, the view, the food was so very good! We had the petrale sole and it was most excellent, as was the service and the beautiful view of the bay!Special Features:
- Beautiful EveningMacorryDined on 8/8/2014This was our last night in SF and we wanted our vacation to end on a high note. This was a lovely restaurant with a beautiful view of the bay, the beach, Alcatraz and the setting sun. The food matched the view. Everything was delicious. We started with oysters and our party had halibut, ahi tuna and scallops for entrees. We each loved our own entree so we had to share with each other and it was hard to decide who had the best meal. We also shared a dessert, the perfect end to a beautiful meal. By the way our waiter was excellent and helped to make our evening a memorable one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KuletoloverDined on 8/7/2014M&K has always been a favorite for seafood. It's always fresh and cooked well. The presentation is a little different from years past and the service is not as stellar, but still very good. It's always a beautiful and clean restaurant with good parking and a beautiful view. We took 2 teenagers for a birthday lunch and included that in my booking information. They treated the boys well but I was slightly disappointed that they didn't take the time to point out his birthday. Can't beat the fresh fish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Memorable Dining ExperienceraylightDined on 8/4/2014My partner and I ate here on our last night in San Francisco & we are so glad we did. We requested a window view and got one -- spectacular!! The food was great & the ambience was vibrant. If you want seafood in San Francisco, be sure to visit this restaurant!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed with managementBlestMomDined on 8/4/2014They did not have our reservation from Open Table. As a Landry's card member, we did not receive recognition from manager. The rest of the service was okay.Special Features:
- Fantastic!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/3/2014What a lovely dinner! The food was superb, service exemplary, and view extraordinary. It was an evening we will long remember!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- romantic dinningUwontbelieve1Dined on 8/1/2014The food her is awesome. My wife and I are still talking about how good it was. Very nice, friendly, & prompt service. You could not ask for more. If you like beer like me especially blue moon try the Golden Moon. Trust me you will be in loveSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!VeryMonetDined on 8/1/2014We had a wonderful family dinner at McCormick and Kuleto. Our waiter, Justin, was fantastic. Service was perfect. Beautiful setting and excellent food.Special Features:
- Good scenery, nothing specialBxidDined on 8/1/2014The restaurant looks very nice and the location is very good (unless fog covers the harbor). The starter was nice but the main, however, was not so special. We had better meals during our stay in SF. The service was also average, our waiter basicly recomended the full menu and the wine pairing seemed random (or higher price).Special Features:
- Great food, miss on serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/1/2014We had planned this as a special dinner while vacationing in SF, and everything was going great up to about the appetizer getting to our table. Then the wait began. We were having a good time talking and planning out our next day, we didn't really register how long it had been until about 30 minutes clicked by....then 45....finally, a different waiter comes by and tells us the kitchen is backed up (which seems strange, as by now, the place is half empty and people who arrived after us are having dessert). A bit later, the manager comes by to apologize and tells us items will be removed from our bill. One hour, the food comes. TBC, the food is fantastic; everyone loved their selections. About 1/2 our bill was comped due to the delay.Special Features:
- Mediocre, at best!luv2eatDined on 7/31/2014Although the scenic view was wonderful, the food and service were incredibly mediocre. We've had much better food for much less money in small and large towns throughout the US. We fully expected to pay premium prices in San Francisco but we had an expectation of better than average food. Sorely disappointed!!Special Features:

Richard Matheson, celebrated sci-fi writer, dies at 87
BY ADAM BERNSTEIN The Washington Post
Richard Matheson, an influential writer of macabre screenplays, novels and short stories who captured the paranoia of the post- World War II era in works such as "Duel," "The Shrinking Man," "I Am Legend" and one of the best "Twilight Zone" episodes ever made, died Sunday at his home in Calabasas, Calif. He was 87.

The Writers Guild of America, West, announced the death but did not disclose a cause.
Matheson, a self-described specialist in the "offbeat," was one of the most prolific horror and science-fiction authors of the 1950s, '60s and '70s, and many of his stories were adapted for movies and television. Stephen King, Anne Rice and Ray Bradbury cited Matheson as an inspiration for their writing.
His best works were economically told, with ripples of subtle tension building to a riveting finale. His plots often ventured into the supernatural, but the suspense was grounded in the essential frailties he observed in real people.
Two of his most anthologized works were "Born of Man and Woman" (1950), about a mutant child chained in the cellar of a young couple's home, and "The Prey" (1969), about a murderous Zuni doll hunting down a woman in her New York apartment.
Matheson set himself apart from many science-fiction and horror writers of a previous generation by examining the anxieties of the modern age, which often played out in Darwinian struggles.
"The Shrinking Man," published in 1956 and filmed the next year as "The Incredible Shrinking Man" with actor Grant Williams, featured a handsome suburbanite who gets one-seventh of an inch smaller every day because of exposure to radiation. His confidence and masculinity are tested to the point where everyday surroundings, including the pet cat, become mortal threats.
Steven Spielberg, a devotee of Matheson's work, first gained wide acclaim as a director with his 1971 made-for-television movie of the author's short story "Duel." The Spielberg version starred Dennis Weaver as a California businessman on a road trip who is drawn into a battle to the death by a malevolent tank truck.
Matheson said the idea for the "Duel" plot came to him after being "traumatized" by a tailgating truck. He recalled it so vividly because it happened on the day of President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
Isolation and psychological distress were among the recurring themes in Matheson's writing. As a result, he became one of the most frequent contributors to Rod Serling's television series "The Twilight Zone" in the late 1950s and early 1960s and in later years for Serling's anthology series "Night Gallery."
Matheson's 1963 "Twilight Zone" teleplay for "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," starring William Shatner as a terrified airplane passenger who is convinced that a monster is trying to shear off the wings, is widely regarded as one of the defining episodes. The story was later included in "Twilight Zone: The Movie" (1983).
The idea developed, unsurprisingly, on an airplane ride. Matheson told an interviewer with the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Foundation that "I looked out and there was all these fluffy clouds, and I thought, gee, what if I saw a guy skiing across that like it was snow because it looked like snow.
"But when I thought it over, that's not very scary, so I turned it into a gremlin out on the wing of the airplane."
Movies, which so often used his material, were a frequent source of Matheson's inspiration. His first horror novel, "I Am Legend" (1954), which concerned a plague that has turned virtually everyone but the narrator into a vampire, derived from Matheson's memories of the 1931 Bela Lugosi film "Dracula."
"It occurred to me that if one vampire was scary, a whole world populated by vampires would be really scary," he often said.

Sheriff wants to purchase patrol cars with "found money"
Scotts Bluff County Sheriff Mark Overman is hoping the county commissioners will allow him to use over $100,000 of "found money" for the purchase of two new patrol cars and to bolster his tight budget.
Overman told the board Monday $73,000 of the extra funds is excess money an employee told him earlier this month has persistently been in the "fees account" for the past 10 years. Another $45,000 is the insurance money he didn't use to fix older cars that had hail damage.
Overman says the board made severe cuts in his budget last summer and told him if he could find additional money, he could use it to buy the cars. Overman says $60,000 would purchase and equip the two cars, and allow deputies currently using vehicles with over 100,000 miles to be adequately equipped for emergency calls.
Overman said despite the fact he is having difficulty staying within his budget, he gave the $73,000 of excess fee money back to the county treasurer to be placed in the general fund for now. Overman says the employee who told him about the fee account money claims his predecessor Jim Lawson refused to give it back to the treasurer because he said he had his own uses for it.

Early voting began Wednesday for a Special State Senate Election.
The resignation of longtime State Senator John Bulloch opened the door for seven candidates to try to fill the District 11 seat.
One of those candidates is retired Social Security Office Director Eugene McNease.
"All my life I have heard folks talk about the government being it, they, them. Actually the government is you, it's me, it's our government and it is what we make it. So decided to get out here and try to make an impact on state government," said McNease.
Early voting continues through January 4th.
January 8th is election day.

This is the month when it first starts to actually feel like Spring, so we're updating our beauty routine with skin care musts, lovely new scents, and makeup necessities. Click through to see what made April's list of must haves. Source: Corbis Images What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I am always skeptical that face wipes will actually get my skin clean, but I swear I woke up with my skin looking better than it did the day before when I used the L'Oréal Paris Ideal Clean Towelettes ($5) for the first time. A toner sweep after use confirms that all makeup really had been removed. What more proof can you ask for? — Melissa Liebling-Goldberg 1 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Having recently cut off seven inches of hair for a celeb-inspired lob, I don't quite know how to make my hair look evening-ready. Enter Jennifer Behr's gorgeous hair clips ($123), which take my shoulder length hair into being red-carpet ready with one snap in on the side. I like the idea of stacking both on top of each other on one side and leaving the other one loose for a Studio 54 twist. — Melissa Liebling-Goldberg 2 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm always up for trying the latest from Drs. Rodan and Fields, whose own glowing skin is a testament to their empire. And I'm a gadget junkie. The Redefine Macro Exfoliator ($279) promises to be the next one I'm obsessed with, efficiently sweeping away dead skin cells for a smoother, clearer complexion without a trip to the facialist or derm. — Melissa Liebling-Goldberg 3 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Faking a full night's sleep is a reality with It Cosmetics' Hello Light Creme Luminizer ($35). The satiny, lightweight formula glides on like silk, leaving behind a lit-from-within glow. Use the included tapered brush on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and inner corners of the eyes for an "I slept eight hours" effect. — Jaime Richards 4 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Last year, Sebastian Professional released a limited-edition gift set complete with an Alice + Olivia-designed scarf. And this year, the hair brand has collaborated with Mara Hoffman for a similar offering. The three-piece kit ($25) includes the Volupt Shampoo and Conditioner, along with a vibrant-print Mara Hoffman for Sebastian scarf that's perfect for accenting warm-weather coifs. Look for it in Sebastian salons. — Jaime Richards 6 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're seeking a lightweight oil that you can use from head to toe, look no further than L.A. Christine's N°3 Berry Face Oil ($58). Made from lingonberry, acai berry, and raspberry, this powerful oil provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, all while leaving the skin supple and more even. Multitasking benefits in compact form: you can't beat that. — Jaime Richards 6 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I often think my long hair looks flat fast, which is why the Garnier Fructis Volume Extend Instant Bodifier Dry Shampoo ($6) is a new staple in my bathroom. I love the scent of Garnier products, and this one lets me instantly amp up the volume for any style. Plus, it's a quick fix for second-day hair. It's a win-win in my beauty book. — Kaitlyn Dreyling 7 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm obsessed with any product Margot Elena creates (she's the mastermind behind Lollia and Tokyo Milk). Her latest venture is Library of Flowers, and I'm particularly fond of the Wildflower & Fern Parfum Crema ($21). The tin holds a concentrated creamy fragrance of English cucumber and honeysuckle for a refreshing scent that's ideal for Spring. — Kaitlyn Dreyling 8 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Getting my skin ready to be bared in short sleeves, skirts, and dresses means I need a little sloughing action. Ahava's DeadSea Mud Gentle Body Exfoliator ($26) is packed with skin-soothing minerals from the Dead Sea, and lava rock granules gently buff and smooth skin without irritation. — Kaitlyn Dreyling 9 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If Spring's floral scents aren't quite your cup of tea, you're going to want to pick up L'Occitane's Magnolia and Mûre ($75, available April 17). With top notes of blackberry and bergamot and heart notes of magnolia and rose, it's just floral enough without being overpowering. — Maria Del Russo 11 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yes, even we city dwellers need the protective touch of SPF. Lucky for us, Supergoop! City Sunscreen Serum ($20-$42) not only protects my skin from the sun, but also against anything else that might be floating around in the air. Hey, no one said city living was easy. — Maria Del Russo 11 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part of my Spring-cleaning? To get my nails back to their peak condition. And since Londontown Kur: Nail Hardener ($25) not only strengthens nails, but also doubles as a base and top coat, it will be in heavy rotation this season. — Maria Del Russo 12 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I was already an avid fan of the Smashbox BB cream formula, so when I found out about the brand's new CC cream ($42), I had to have it! The big difference between the two products is that the CC brightens skin even more with dark-spot-correcting benefits. The best part, though, is that it comes in five shades, so I don't have to put any foundation on top. — Jessica Cruel 13 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In honor of Earth Month, Origins is outfitting four fan favorites in new travel-size packaging. My personal favorite is the Clear Improvement Mask ($19), which contains charcoal to deeply cleanse. During the week of April 21-28, Origins will plant one tree per bottle sold. I can never pass up an opportunity to do something good for Mother Earth (and my skin, too). — Jessica Cruel 14 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Since my skin is looking a little pale after a long Winter, I'll be reaching for St. Tropez Bronzing Face Lotion ($30) to get a faux glow in a flash. The beauty brand has even launched mini application mitts ($10 for three) so you're sure to be covered completely without the telltale streaks. — Jessica Cruel 15 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I look no further than Emi-Jay ($6) when it comes to headbands that stay put. They're ideal for keeping strands away from your face as the temperatures rise. Plus, I know they won't make a crease in my hair. — Kirbie Johnson 16 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With Guerlain's Maxi Lash Curl Sculpting Mascara ($30), be prepared to get some of the darkest lashes around. You can also expect even the shortest, stubbiest bottom lashes to get an instant boost. — Kirbie Johnson 17 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm a nail art fiend, but getting the design just right can be a hassle instead of something artistic. Scratch ($12, shown in Sublime Sapphire) has adorable and intricate nail wraps in a variety of styles, and the best part about them is they're foolproof to apply. They spread easily and don't crinkle upon contact. — Kirbie Johnson 18 / 18 4 66 19 6 0 Read More Must Haves Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

Injury Collision on KY 283 in Henderson County
Date of News Release: 03/30/2013
(Henderson, KY) -- Philip Dixon was operating his 2002 Ford F-250 traveling south on KY 283. Dixon stated that he took his attention off of the road to reach for an object in the vehicle when he lost control. Dixon's vehicle left the roadway off of the right side of the road into an earth embankment. Dixon then attempted to gain control of his vehicle, when it abruptly went across the roadway into an earth embankment on the left side of the road coming to final rest. The passenger, Cooper Troxell-Marlor, was injured during the collision with seat belt burns to his neck area. Troxell-Marlor was transported to Methodist Hospital and treated for his injuries.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
Cemeteries contain a wealth of information about a community.
For example, date clusters on grave markers may be a clue that a natural disaster such as an epidemic swept through a community.
Exceptionally large or very tall tombstones, such as those erected during the turn of the century, typically mark the grave of a VIP or socially prominent member of the community. Surnames (last names) on grave markers can be a clue to cultural origins.
Symbols on grave markers usually possess special meanings to those buried there. Common symbols include anchors. The anchor typically symbolizes hope in Jesus Christ and his anchoring influence upon the lives of Christians. In seaside communities, the anchor marked the final resting place of a dedicated seaman.
Birds in flight represent the flight of the soul to the afterlife. Eagles are used to represent a military or American patriotic background. A dove symbolized the Holy Spirit and/or peace. Books on a tombstone usually represent the Bible and religious faithfulness.
The Cross reflects the buried person's belief in Christianity. Crowns represents the glory of life after death, or the deceased's ascension into Heaven.
Gates or bars represents the entrance of the departed into Heaven. Hands with fingers pointing upward usually mean that the deceased has traveled upward to heaven. Two hands grasping one another symbolizes eternal friendship or eternal love, often used for married couples.
A heart can symbolize many things. Chief among these are love. Whether love of God or love of another, such as a spouse or family. The heart is used to symbolize devotion to something or someone.
The hourglass is a symbol of time. The image usually depicts time's passing and the inevitability of death. An hourglass indicates that person's time on earth expired and implies that visitors reading the marker should embrace life because it, much like the flow of the sand in an hourglass, is finite and will eventually end.

Have you ever been in a wedding and absolutely wanted to smack the Bride? As I'm planning the wedding, I am trying my hardest NOT to be one of these crazy brides! However, I'm sure I'll have my moments to apologize for as the wedding gets closer!
Anyway, I may have found the world's worst Bridezilla! (Check Out The Article Here) Some of the exerpts from the crazy email:
"I would like everyone to send me any dates they are going away or planning to go away after February so if your going away in January I don't care. I want any dates from February to the day of our wedding in August, that way we know not to plan something when your away. But after this week the dates are set in stone. "
"The wedding as I stated will be in Vail the engagement party will either be in NY or CT and the bachelorette party will be in Vegas, cliche yeaa but I've never been…if you wont be able to afford a flight then that means you cant make a party which ultimately means I cant have you as a bridesmaid."
What would you do if you were sent this email? I know what I would do, politely DECLINE the invite!!! Have any horror stories? Share them on Facebook!

Planning director insults neighborhood activists
John Rahaim, the director of city planning, is the featured speaker at a SPUR forum Jan. 29, and he's got a very special title for his talk. It's called "The Meanies and the War Mongers: Recent planning lessons from SF." Here's the description:
Land use planning in San Francisco is sometimes called a blood sport. John Rahaim, planning director, will discuss the last five years of planning in San Francisco during his tenure, and why that phrase is too weak. Rahaim will look at the accomplishments of planning in the city, the impacts from the last decade of neighborhood plans and the lessons from the war that will guide the Planning Department into the next decade.
Holy shit: Sounds to me like this guy, who gets very well compensated off the taxpayers' dime, has just directly insulted generations of activists who have fought some really dumb development ideas and made this a more livable city. "War mongers?" "Meanies?"Is that the term he uses for people who try to get involved in the planning process? Here's what he told me:
The purpose of the title was to be provocative. I find it curious that you would make that assumption. For now I will say that in my experience in SF, there are people on all sides of the development debates who would fit these descriptions. Other than that, I invite you to the talk.
Okay, provocative is good, but seriously: He's sounding as if these aren't real issues that affect people's lives, that land-use planning isn't central to what we are as a city, and that people who don't just shut up and go along with what he wants are troublemakers. Or as former Sup. Aaron Peskin, who has spent years as a neighborhood activists, notes: "He doesn't want to admit that the best planning in this city is done by those neighborhood organizations and those activists who
challenge and shape literally every piece of planning that comes out of his office."
Rahaim is supposed to be the guy who balances the various interest groups and tries to create acceptable solutions. "Whoever he's referring to, it's demeaning and unprofessional," Peskin notes.
You can show up and ask Mr. Rahaim what he was talking about Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 6pm at the SPUR Center, 654 Mission. It's free for SPUR members and costs $10 for everyone else. Worth every penny of it.
who seek to achieve their ends not throught the ballot box but thru extra-democratic means such as direct action, protests and other strategies that seek to bypass the usually moderate wishes of the silent majority and instead impose a "rule by being noisy" regime instead.
Travel to almost any major world city and you see amazing and fabulous developments, like the waterfronts in NYC, Boston, London, Shaghai, Hong Kong and elsewhere. Sometims it seems like SF is the only city on the planet whose main ambition is to become some sort of Colonial Williamsburg of the west coast - a city frozen in time, a veritable theme park based on the idea that nothing should ever change and nothing new is ever good.
Rahaim's only crime is saying what almost everyone here thinks.
You must be a realtor
Some how I doubt it...
It sounds to me to implement terminology , who gets very well compensated off the taxpayers' dime
If we can just relax about that as a society and as a city, there are advantages to having that experiment. There are things about the building that don't work on the street; I wish it was different on some of the street frontages, but all in all, I actually think it's an exciting new building for the city.
Don't be so sensitive.
This is really tremendous "For now I will say that in my experience in SF, there are people on all sides of the development debates who would fit these descriptions. "
Only in SF: where your neighbors dictate how and when to use what you paid for, no matter how fucking stupid or idiotic said neighbors are. Fucking Bullshit.
Go to Chicago where the architectural decisions are weighed heavily and a planning commission decides whether a new building will fit into the landscape. The downtown is beautiful!
Then we have NY, which will sell the city plots off to the highest bidder with no oversight. There you have a mishmash of horrendous buildings. One is a irregular silver Frank Gehry ripoff (cooper Union) the next is a blueglass and steel minimalist approach sticking out 200 feet over everything else near it. It makes no sense.
Go buy some land in Idaho, join a militia and a gun and live out your libertarian property fantasies somewhere else. We like our little community here.
Do you think that NIMBY bureaucrats designed Florence, Venice, Paris, Kyoto?
No, bureaucrats designed Ottawa, Brasilia, Berne and DC.
I have to take issue with both your sense of aesthetics and your facts.
In know for fact that Paris and Kyoto were extensively planned- Kyoto was restructured in the 16th century according to a master plan by Toyotomi Hideoshi, and a "bureaucrat" named Georges-Eugene Haussmann extensively reworked Paris in the 1860s (though I think he'd prefer the label of "civic planner" rather than "bureaucrat").
Don't know much about Berne, but I find Brasilia, Ottawa, and DC to be beautiful (at least the parts of DC that actually *were* planned, rather than the surrounding areas that grew all around those parts). Ottawa is extremely clean, and consistently wins awards as having among the best quality of life in the world. Incidentally, a quick google search reveals that Bern does too. Brasilia is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and incidentally occupies the top spot for quality of life and top spot for UN HDI in all of Latin America.
Designing liveable cities is a primary goal of urban planners. If you look at the cases of Ottawa, Bern, and Brasilia, we can say without a doubt, objective achieved! And these are the cities you hold up as failures? We should all be so lucky to live in such failed communities!
Other cities which were planned include some of the most beautiful in the world: Amsterdam, Versailles, St. Petersburg.
And just as a side note, the cities of the world which don't have extensive urban planning by "bureaucrats," but are still regarded as attractive, (besides being so few and far between that you really struggle to come up with good examples to support your point), got that way generally because they have many historic structures which so-called NIMBYs fought to preserve. Just like the "NIMBYs" fighting for historic preservation here in San Francisco, against the forces of runaway development.
But just as a counterpoint, let me give some real examples of *actual* cities without much planning or zoning: Houston and Dallas. Wow. Yuck.
Brasilia. They would much rather live in "accidental" cities like New Orleans, Rio, Amsterdam.
A guy in a suit never approached the level of beauty that exists in a city designed more by chaos and nature.
Your argument is bizarre. If you're making the argument that more people want to live there because those cities are larger, there are several problems with your arguments and your examples.
Amsterdam has fewer people than San Francisco, and there's nothing accidental about Amsterdam. Extensive urban planning went into its whole canal network, and which neighborhoods would go where. Have you ever been to Amsterdam? It even looks like a planned city, because it *IS* a planned city -a beautiful planned city with great quality of life.
The reasons why people wind up living where they do are much more multifaceted than your facile cherry-picked examples imply. I could just as easily say that lots of people live in Paris or St. Petersburg... or Amsterdam (it is the largest city in the Netherlands, and it's planned). And while Brasilia and Ottawa aren't the most populous cities in their countries, it's certainly not because they're planned. Those cities have great quality of life, and people want to live in cities with good quality of life. It's idiotic to suggest that because the total population of the favelas (slums) of Rio or Sao Paolo exceed the total population of Brasilia, then people must prefer living in the favelas to a nice apartment in Brasilia with electricity and clean water.
cities planned by some committee of men in suits.
Until the men in suits come along with a pocket full of cash and insist that the accidental cities need to be replaced with a craptacular condo monoculture.
the NIMBY activists and the housing activists.
WE don't need housing. Everyone reading this is housed. Few reading this can afford to buy or rent in a new development. Developers need to build housing to make money, they buy elected officials, pay consultants, attorneys and architects and force us to cover their bad bets.
endlessly whine that affordable housing is being eroded and that rent control isn't working and that not enough BMR housing is being built, blah blah.
This is why the left is ineffective in SF - they all keep arguing with each other. Every non-profit is an island.
The housing activists are affordable housing employees who want their own meal ticket paid for before everything else.
Developers and the City pay the nonprofits' freight and the nonprofiteers dance with them what brung 'em.
someone earns a crust on it. Without development, we'd have no Moscone Center, no Westfield mall, no Mission Bay, no ball park etc.
Why would that be better?
The City and taxpayers gets to cover the externalized costs of development, we gets little in return.
provide things and services that I need.
If there were no need, they would not get built in the first place.
Housing gets built by fly by night developers who pay off politicians to game the system, not because anyone wants the craptacular condos that the crap down on our landscape.
If there wasn't, they wouldn't get built.
It indirectly helps the poorer by relieving demand for existing lower-priced housing stock.
Troll waves hands instead of making his case. There is no evidence that new luxury construction drives down the price of existing housing to the point where it is "affordable" by the poor.
I said it helps, as does anything that increases supply.
Not everyone can afford to live in the world's favorite city.
It helps developers.
Recursive logic: In a capitalist system, if there is no demand at the offered amount, prices fall to the level where there is. That is the market rate. It is called supply and demand. The only way to support a higher than demand-based market rate is through subsidies.
Saying that it relieves pressure on the poor is another fallacy - that there are sufficient products at every price level to meet every need. You gloss over this by externalizing the cost: The cheaper units you suggest the poor move to are not part of the market you reference. If a family has to move to Stockton for affordable housing, they are no longer San Francisco renters.
There are plenty of affordable homes in the Bay Area that might suit those of lower means. the problem is the balkanization of the Bay Area into little fiefdoms, meaning that people see towns as competitors and rivals rather than just suburbs of each other.
San Francisco is really "downtown Bay Area" and lots of people would not normally expect to be able to afford downtown prices.
Indeed, Oakland's rent are probably half of SF's and it is just minutes away. But people have a sense of entitlement and think they "deserve" to live in SF. They don't.
the Bay Area.
I would love it if there was no Moscone Center especially if the housing was still there instead of being torn down! No Mission Bay?If by that you mean that Mission Bay would not have been filled in with the remains of Rincon Hill so that the Railroad Barons could construct their rail yards, I would be really down for that, and if you left Mission Creek above ground and day-lighted Islais Creek as well, that would be great! No I mean really great!
Westfield Center you may recall used to be the Emporium and would be a trade I would go for in a second. And the ballpark that really is just a yuppie anchor-baby machine, well I like it but I would also prefer to have the Seals Stadium back instead of Potrero Center and then we could put the ball park back at Valencia and 16th, smaller ball-barks that felt more neighborhood like. Yeah I am liking this plan of yours alot!
Seals Stadium was at 16th & Bryant. My Gramps was a Seals fan & it broke his heart that the Seals were snubbed by MLB, which is why I always preferred the 9ers to the Giants
and the developers will lose money.
That doesn't seem to happen, ergo your assertion about a lack of "need" is false.
WE are not buying that housing because WE do not need that housing and WE cannot afford that housing.
THEY build that housing so that THEY can sell that housing to OTHERS who need and can afford that housing.

You appear to be arguing that no home should be built if you personally cannot afford to buy it.
all levels.
in any half-decent neighborhood where you'd actually want to live. Average sale price is around 750K or so.
for all levels. Only a minority of San Francisco residents can afford a $600,000 apartment.
which is the typical couple in SF now. That's just 3 times their annual combined income
Maybe in your neighborhood. Maybe among new residents. But not citywide.
The data are from 2009, but there's no way the median household income has increased from $70,000 to $200,000 since then.
This data is more recent. Median household income is about $73,000 as of 2011.
I thought the typical tech workers had millions in stock options proceeds with which to purchase the home of their dreams in cash? Make up your mind!
Aside from BMR, the lowest unit on the market is $550K at the SOMA Grand for only $826/sf!
That's probably a studio or small 1BR though. Which of course is all the typical new arrival IT worker needs.
The best part is the view of the affordable units at Trinity Plaza from the $2400/mo unit.
What a trollish lie. Developers build housing to make money and that is celebrated and lauded. When San Franciscans oppose that in order to demand housing for those who need it as well as to protect our housing investment from devaluation due to a flood of inventory as homes languish in foreclosure, that is a very good thing.
price of your crappy little condo in the mission would be reduced, so don't worry your pretty little head about that.
SF RE has recovered from it's 2008 lapse, as anyone trying to buy a home now can testify - multiple offers and overbids are the norm again. Foreclosures are a non issue.
Once Bernancke stops the quantitative easing, get back to me on this.
issue to those San Francisco residents facing them, especially in the southeastern neighborhoods.
Narrow perspective troll.
"The point was that accidental cities are more attractive than cities planned by some committee of men in suits. "
The point has been extensively refuted. See above.

Rare is the hole in one. A feat even more eye-popping is a husband and wife recording holes in one a week apart—on the same hole. But that's what Sarah and Bob Cleaver (pictured) did earlier this month on the par 3 16th hole at Dominion Meadows Golf Course. Bob, playing with Sarah at the time, aced the 142-yard 16th hole on Sept. 8. Cleaver's nine-iron hit just right of the pin and spun into the cup. The city of Colville Building Inspector, who has holes in one on the second and ninth holes at DM, said his latest ace from the elevated tee on no.
On Saturday, Colville High's cross-country team took their show on the road to the venerable Farragut - Super One Foods Invitational. The challenging 5k course, located along the banks of Idlewilde Bay on Lake Pend Oreille, provided the local harriers with their first chance of the season to test themselves in race conditions.
For the first time in three games, the Colville High offense came to play last Friday at Newport in the Northeast A League opener for both football teams.
It has been a frustrating early-season for the Indians (0-3, 0-1) so far. Coming into the Newport game, CHS hadn't scored a touchdown from scrimmage.
But that all changed at Newport--the Indians roared back from a 27-7 deficit to nearly pull out a much-needed win.
But Newport (3-0, 1-0) held on to record a 33-28 win.
Chewelah's cross-country team ran its second meet of the season last Saturday at Farragut State Park along the shores of Pend Oreille Lake in north Idaho.
The young squad ran short-handed, but made improvements on individual times and impressed coach Pat Kostecka with their hard work. The meet wasn't originally on the Cougars' schedule, so the team missed several runners to prior commitments
"It's amazing how many things kids get involved in these days," Kosstecka said of the prior commitments several of his squad members had on Saturday. "We didn't have many run this week."
Former Colville High School three-sport standout and CHS assistant baseball coach Boo Morrison has been named to succeed Mike Bestrom as the program's head coach. Bestrom served three years as CHS head coach. In recent seasons, he has also worked as an assistant coach in the CHS and Kettle Falls baseball programs.
Kettle Falls High dominated across the board last Friday in an impressive 35-15 non-league football win over Tonasket. The Bulldogs (1-1) rushed for 256 yards and quarterback Conner McKern passed for another 118 yards (8 of 15) and two touchdowns. "The kids played really well," figured KFHS head coach, Curtis Corvino. "Offensively, we set the pace of the game and were able to control the line of scrimmage." It's been a long time since a Kettle Falls offense ran 66 plays in a game.
Columbia-Inchelium (1-1), coming off a lackluster 26-14 loss at Wilbur-Creston last Friday, will travel to Northport (1-1) Friday night in a key Northeast B-8 football match-up with the Mustangs. Game time is 7 p.m. Columbia-Inchelium head coach Chuck Wyborney wasn't pleased with the way his team played against the Wildcats. And the veteran coach placed the blame squarely on himself and his coaching staff.
Colville High opened the high school girl's soccer season last week with a split of games. In their season opener on Sept. 7 against Priest River, Colville won 9-0. Striker Tasha Luu scored four goals and Dana Andres added two more. In last Friday's 7-1 loss at home to Shadle Park of the Greater Spokane League, Luu scored Colville's lone goal in the first half. Shadle Park outshot CHS 17 to 9.
The fourth annual Balls & Chain Walleye Tournament will be held Saturday, Sept. 24. The tournament will launch at the Kettle Falls Marina (Old Kettle). The tournament was created after its founder, Casey McKern of Kettle Falls, was seriously injured in a swimming accident that left him paralyzed from the collarbone down. During his convalescence and through the challenges of recovery, the Kettle Falls community did what it always does—come together to help a community member and his family.
It's something of a testament to how talented the current Colville High volleyball team is when the Indians annex the high-powered Lakeland Invitational championship and coach Missy Bennett says her team didn't play as well as it could have.
It's only September.
Next to the Crossover Tournament, the annual Lakeland Invitational likely has the best field of any tournament the Indians will play in this fall.
Okay, the State 1A Tournament counts for something. After all, this team has some lofty goals this fall.

BRYANT – The Benton Lady Panthers picked up where they left off the last time they faced their county and 7A/6A South conference rival Bryant Hornets on Tuesday. The Lady Panthers swept the Lady Hornets for the second straight match, taking the match 3-0 (25-11, 25-20, 25-8) in Bryant.
RUSSELLVILLE – At the Russellville Cyclone cross country invitational Saturday, the Bryant Lady Hornets put six runners in the top 15 places, including Melinda Murdock's individual victory, to win the team championship.  Bryant scored 35 points to dominate the field of 13 teams. Mt. St. Mary took runner-up with 63 points followed by LR Christian (87), Heber Springs (120), Conway (144), and Russellville (166).  There were 143 indivdual finishers in the race.  This makes two team championships on the year for Bryant who took the OBU title earlier in the season.
No other football game has this type of atmosphere that the Salt Bowl has. This game is about friends who become foes for one day out of the year and then after the games are over, past bitter rivals enjoy a lifetime of friendships. I have had the opportunity to talk to many participants of past Salt Bowls and this article is a result of their input concerning the Salt Bowl rivalry.
CABOT – The Benton Junior Lady Panther volleyball team went to Cabot to play the South team and came away with their first conference victory of the season on Monday night. Benton beat Cabot South in close sets, losing the first 25-27 before taking the next two 25-18 and 15-13.
It was the Jr. Lady Panthers' first close win of the year and Benton's first three-set win. Emme Edmondson had eight kills, Lenzie Newman seven and Sydney Channel had five for a well-rounded attack.Â
NORTH LITTLE ROCK – The Bryant and Benton boys' golf teams came in first and second respectively at Emerald Golf Course in North Little Rock on Monday. Bryant Junior Luke Brantley and sophomore Drew Castleberry each shot a 1-under 34 at the par-35 nine-hole golf course to take the overall medalist and lead Bryant to a 104 for the win.
Benton took second with a 108, while Maumelle (137), Pulaski Robinson (146), Little Rock Parkview (150) and Jacksonville (172) rounded out the rest.
RUSSELLVILLE – The Bryant Lady Hornets went 2-4 in the Cyclone Invitational in Russellville on Saturday. Starting out with a familiar 7A/6A South conference foe J.A. Fair, Bryant swept them 25-8 and 25-5 before running into fellow 7A school Mount Saint Mary in the next match, falling to the Belles 18-25 and 13-25.
SHERWOOD – Bryant sophomore Drew Castleberry shot a 1-over 37 for the overall boys' medalist, but the Hornets barely fell to North Little Rock at The Greens at North Hills in Sherwood on Monday. North Little Rock shot a 173 to Bryant's 170.
"The pin placement had to be the hardest ones they had available," Bryant Coach Keith Dale said of North Hills. "The greens were cut short, rolled and sanded that morning making a put stick next to impossible. The kids had a very hard time."
LITTLE ROCK – The Benton Lady Panthers competed in the Spikefest Tournament in Little Rock on Saturday and finished the day 3-1 between pool play and tournament matches. Benton defeated West Memphis 25-15 and 25-17 before splitting with Fort Smith Northside (20-25, 25-11). Because the Lady Panthers beat Northside by more point-wise, Benton was first in their pool.
In tournament play, Benton swept the Texas High Lady Tigers 25-16 and 25-17, but would end their day falling to Mount Saint Mary on its home court 14-25 and 23-25.
ARKADELPHIA – The Bryant Lady Hornet cross country team opened the season with a victory Saturday at the OBU Invitational. The Lady Hornets put all five of their scorers in the top 17 places to take the team championship with a score of 44 points. Lake Hamilton was runner-up with 66 points followed by Mt. St. Mary (66), LR Christian (81), Cabot (140) and Trinity Christian (176). There were 15 total teams and 163 individual finishers in the race.
The Benton Junior High Panthers got their first taste of life in new stadium and the outcome was as sparkling as their new home. The freshmen Panthers defeated Sheridan 21-12 and the Benton eight graders won 40-20.
The freshmen Panthers got off to an inauspicious start. Sheridan recovered an onside kick to open the game. The Benton defense stiffened, forcing Sheridan to line up to punt on fourth down. But a fake by McKinley Williams resulted in a 52 yard touchdown for the Yellowjackets. The two-point conversion try failed, but Sheridan led early 6-0.

Leonard Peltier -- a great-grandfather, artist, writer, & indigenous rights activist -- is a citizen of the Anishinabe and Dakota/Lakota Nations who has been unjustly imprisoned since 1976.
A participant in the American Indian Movement, he went to assist the Oglala Lakota people on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the mid-70s where a tragic shoot-out occurred on June 26, 1975. Accused of the murder of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Peltier fled to Canada believing he would never receive a fair trial in the United States.
On February 6, 1976, Peltier was apprehended. The FBI knowingly presented the Canadian court with fraudulent affidavits, and Peltier was returned to the U.S. for trial.
Key witnesses were banned from testifying about FBI misconduct & testimony about the conditions and atmosphere on the Pine Ridge Reservation at the time of the shoot-out was severely restricted. Important evidence, such as conflicting ballistics reports, was ruled inadmissible. Still, the U.S. Prosecutor failed to produce a single witness who could identify Peltier as the shooter. Instead, the government tied a bullet casing found near the bodies of their agents to the alleged murder weapon, arguing that this gun had been the only one of its kind used during the shootout, and that it had belonged to Peltier.
Later, Mr. Peltier's attorneys uncovered, in the FBI's own documents, that more than one weapon of the type attributed to Peltier had been present at the scene and the FBI had intentionally concealed a ballistics report that showed the shell casing could not have come from the alleged murder weapon. Other troubling information emerged: the agents undoubtedly followed a red pickup truck onto the land where the shoot-out took place, not the red and white van driven by Peltier; and compelling evidence against several other suspects existed and was concealed.
At the time, however, the jury was unaware of these facts. Peltier was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. He is currently imprisoned at the U.S. Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
Leonard Peltier, Artist
Leonard Peltier's self-taught style is an outgrowth of drawing and carving lessons he received as a child from tribal elders.
Leonard began working with pastels in 1983, proving he had talent to put what he saw on paper. His spirit began to know a freedom he had never before experienced.
Although limited by the prison environment, Mr. Peltier has emerged as a master of Indigenous Art.
Leonard's artwork reflects his beliefs and commitment to Native American culture. It is The People's struggle to survive and his desire to portray their cultural beauty that inspires Peltier to paint.
In 1986, Leonard suffered a stroke and lost about eighty percent of his sight in his left eye. "My eye problem has slowed me down considerably, but I am still inspired."
Leonard's paintings are collected by such noted personalities as Oliver Stone, Peter Coyote, Jane Fonda, Val Kilmer, Michael Apted, Shep Gordon, and Oliver Shanti, as well as many other international celebrities & luminaries.
Leonard, the Writer
Doing time creates a demented darkness of my own imagination; doing time does this thing to you. But of course, you don't do time. You do without it. Or rather, time does you. Time is a cannibal that devours the flesh of your years day by day, bite by bite.
-- Leonard Peltier
Prison Writings:
My Life Is My Sun Dance
This book was written from behind the cold prison bars of Leavenworth Penitentiary by Leonard Peltier, who has been called America's Nelson Mandela. Peltier is serving two life sentences for crimes the U.S. government has admitted they can't prove were even committed by Peltier. He is considered by Amnesty International & many other humanitarian organizations to be a political prisoner.
According to prison officials, Peltier's plight has attracted the attention of luminaries such as Britain's Queen Elizabeth. In February 1999, the European Parliament approved a resolution calling for Peltier to be freed. France's former First Lady Danielle Mitterand, who is president of the French human rights organization, France Libertés, has called for the release of Leonard Peltier.
The book's editor, Harvey Arden said, "Leonard Peltier's powerful memoir, a Native American spiritual testament, will shake the conscience of the nation... & the world. It's a flaming arrow aimed at the circled wagons of American injustice."
Archbishop Desmond Tutu calls it: "A deeply moving & very disturbing story of a gross miscarriage of justice & an eloquent cri de coeur of Native Americans for redress & to be regarded as human beings with inalienable rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution. We pray that it does not fall on deaf ears. America owes it to herself."

By donating his paintings to the Leonard Peltier Charitable Foundation, he was able to supply computers and educational supplies such as books and encyclopedias to libraries and families on Pine Ridge.
By donating his paintings to the LPCF, he was also able to raise substantial supplies for the people of Pine Ridge after last year's devastating tornado hit and caused a multitude of damage on the reservation.
He has been widely recognized for his efforts and has won several human rights awards, including the North Star Frederick Douglas Award, Humanist of the Year Award, and the International Human Rights Prize.
Leonard, Presidential Candidate Political Prisoner on the Ballot in California
Lawrence, Kansas, February 11, 2004
Kevin Shelley, Secretary of the State of California has announced that Leonard Peltier will be on the primary election ballot as a candidate for the Peace and Freedom Party's Presidential nomination.
Leonard Peltier is deemed as a political prisoner by Amnesty International and has been unjustly incarcerated for nearly 3 decades. Peltier was convicted of committing the crime of murdering two FBI agents, even though the prosecution has since admitted in open court (Oct. 15, 1985) that the government did not have proof of who killed their agents. The courts have also admitted (10th Circuit Court of Appeals) that "the prosecution of Mr. Peltier is to be condemned; they withheld evidence, coerced testimony. These facts are undisputed".
Leonard Peltier is an advocate of peaceful resolution of all issues and has been instrumental in getting people from different tribes with a history of animosity to come together in peace. He has piloted the Leonard Peltier Health Care Reform Package whose intent is to fundamentally alter health care delivery on reservations throughout the US. Peltier has established a scholarship at NYU for Native Students seeking law degrees, has implemented job creation/job training programs and is the sponsoring father of two children in ChildReach. Peltier has sponsored clothing, emergency food and toy drives and distributes to Head Start, halfway houses and women's centers.

He has been widely recognized for his efforts and has won several human rights awards, including the North Star- Frederick Douglas Award; Humanist of the Year Award and most recently, is a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Mr. Peltier's choice as Vice-President is Barry Bachrach, lead counsel for Peltier. Mr. Bachrach is a Litigation Partner with extensive experience in managing and handling a wide variety of litigation. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Maine, School of Law, has authored several legal publications and is currently co-authoring a book about the Massachusetts Constitution. Bachrach has bar admissions in the states of Maine, Massachusetts and Minnesota and in the United Claims Court, Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit.
Mr. Bachrach has been with the Defense Committee for 3 years and believes that Leonard's campaign will offer hope to the oppressed, bringing back the principles that this country was founded upon, regaining the soul that this country has lost. Bachrach believes that Native Americans are the foundation of this country, spiritual people who cherish the earth, not strive to own it.

Arlette tells us what is was like for her as a young Lakota woman growing up during the last Lakota uprising at Wounded Knee in 1975.
Lakota Voices - Harvey Arden reads from Leonard Peltier's autobiography, describing the shoot-out on June 26, 1975
Lakota Voices - Message from the children
Our reservation communities are described by the naive people living there as
"concentration camps" ; places where our government put concentrations of native
people into out of site, out of mind areas where there is no work, no way to travel
into more commercial areas if one has no money for car or travel, and places
that are difficult to get out of or into to receive services or food or help.
Most of these good people feel this was done deliberately by our military, figuring they would "die out" over time in these conditions. This generally can describe very many of our "reservations". These places are spilling over with suffering of innocent, good hearted people. Some describe several of our reservations as "fourth world nations".
Native communities are suffering from a heart ripping rash of youth suicides. Never before in natural history can we find entire groups of children, or the young of ANY species, for that matter, working to remove themselves from the intensity of suffering their lives offer in these places where hope does not always shine. Our GLOBAL youth suicide rates have skyrocketed 200% in just one generation, into an anomaly that defies nature. Our worlds communities are not meeting the needs of our vulnerable populations, clearly.
The voices below are a small sampling of the native childrens hearts. They need their families and communities to hear them. If YOU can hear them, please support a natural village Building Camp in your area. As far as we can see, this, is the fastest path back to a restored landscape, community and cultural condition.
Written by Celeste Red Woman a Lakota High School student from Pine Ridge, reservation.
Expect nothing, ever.
from another, a govenment or a God.
It is difficult to get food. Gas money. A place to live
On nothing. not even general assistance.
I find it now more difficult to speak.
About living out of doors
poverty has knocked down the family walls
and we are all outside
each of us children fending for ourself
shameless. Thats what we are.
we beg for food.
We break the law to eat.
We dont cry, or complain.
All we know is poverty
we are mangy as dogs
blind to life like beggars
without happiness or sadness
Alone even in a crowd.
I am haunted by poverty
My younger brother dies one day
His heart died.
Then him.
And in the black hills
They wouldnt let us bury him.
By Tara Blue Cloud
a Lakota high school student from
Pine Ridge reservation
My freind, I told you
i tried my best to help you
I even scolded you
to leave that awful house
you'd say No, and that
you couldnt leave your Mom
I'd say "take her and leave"
You'd say "she'd never come"
I'd see you every day at school
black bruises on your arms and face
Now there are flowers all over the place
and all I see is black and blue
those painful colors all around
and I lower my head in prayer
as they carry you out the door
in a casket thats black and blue
my freind who was…is dead.

A leader of the American Indian Movement, Leonard Peltier is serving two
consecutive life sentences in federal prison for "aiding and abetting" in the
deaths of two FBI agents. The highly controversial case has received great
international interest, including human rights tribunals and Amnesty
International, because of allegations of judicial and FBI misconduct:
threatening witnesses, producing false evidence, perjury and withholding
evidence. A book about Peltier is being completed and Robert Redford is
considering directing a film based on the Peltier case. We present an
interview with Peltier's cousin, Steve Robideau, who relates the specifics
about Peltier's case as well as some of the other struggles of Native
Americans today. Robideau also presents fascinating insights into Native
American philosophy and values.

Incident at Oglala is a 1992 documentary by Michael Apted, narrated by Robert Redford. The film documents the murder of two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, Jack R. Coler and Ronald A. Williams, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in the summer of 1975.
It examines the legal case surrounding the subsequent trials of Robert Robideau and Darrell Butler, and later the separate trial of Leonard Peltier, who had to be extradited from Canada. Robideau and Butler were acquitted at their trial, but Peltier was convicted of murder in 1976. Many supporters at the time, including the International Indian Treaty Council, believed Peltier was innocent of the crimes.

Why this is important
Leonard Peltier - One Man´s Freedom Means Freedom for us All
Leonard Peltier is an Amnesty International registered prisoner of consciousness and Lakota / Anishinabe Native American held by the US government in custody for 37 years on falsified evidence. Leonard has consistently spoken out in defense of his people´s liberty and their denial of basic human rights.
Leonard did the one thing that any of us might have done in the circumstances. He defended his family and led his people to safety at a time when the FBI were making war "Reign of Terror" in the mid-70´s on the native American population. Over 400 people were killed or assaulted and many imprisoned. Leonard was accused of shooting two FBI agents2. Ballistics evidence proves beyond doubt that Leonard is an innocent victim. Two other men were declared innocent in court but Leonard was not then present - the FBI needed a scapegoat as the case remains unsolved.
We want Freedom loving people, tribal elders and native peoples worldwide to send a message now to President Obama – It is time to Grant Clemency to Leonard Peltier, to give freedom to this man that he may spend his remaining days with his family and loved ones.
"President Obama – Please give clemency to Leonard Peltier and demonstrate America is listening to its heart."
Please sign our campaign Petition!
Senior Judge Gerald Heaney of the 8th Circuit Court panel that denied Peltier's 1986 appeal, and over 550 VIPs including Mikhail Gorbachov, Rev. Archbishop Desmond Tutu and numerous political members have stated the man is innocent. The Belgian and European Parliaments have both adopted resolutions calling for Leonard Peltier´s executive clemency.
Leonard's issue is our issue because he is an example to all of us of a man who took action to defend his people against actions that have eroded freedom and liberty worldwide.
Leonard Peltier is over 60 years old and his health is deteriorating. He is a man of peace with grandchildren he has never met. His continued imprisonment after over 30 years appears to be nothing less than revenge for a crime Leonard Peltier did not commit. He has dedicated his life to freedom for his people. President Obama is the only man who can give clemency to him.
Greetings! Welcome to all of you that are interested in Leonard's artwork. This site was started from the show of interest of so many of Leonard's supporters, nationally and worldwide. I hope you will check back frequently to see new advancements and art additions and changes.

I have to tell you, I feel great today. I would have felt even better with a victory, but having realized some time ago that Simms wasn't the QB we need to run this offense efficiently sort of left me with very little hope for success in the long term. I held my doom-thinking in. I tried to believe that Simms would, at some point, come around. Now, for the first time in quite a while, I really have a lot of hope for the future of this offense.I told you before that having a quick-witted, mobile QB would change the offense and positively affect the running game. I told you that this offense would look better today under Grads than it did at any point under Simms so far this year.It feels good to have hope again. We could have notched a victory today had the defense done a better job of tackling.Oh, and did anybody keep track of the number of batted down passes today?Go Bucs. Go Grads.
lets wait till next week to see what happens before we say "I told you so"A full game of tape on a play could change everything.
