Dia de los Muertos is a traditional Mexican holiday to remember and celebrate family members and friends who have died, and to let them know that their loved ones on earth still care about them. The holiday can be traced back 2,500-3,000 years to a month-long Aztec celebration. The celebration was moved to November 1st to connect All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, after Spain conquered the Aztecs in the 16th century.
Before the celebration, relatives decorate their deceased family members' graves. "… In the local cemetery, relatives spruce up each gravesite… cutting down weeds that have sprouted up during the rainy season, as well as giving tombs a fresh coat of paint… The graves are then decorated and may be simply adorned or elaborately embellished with colorful coronas (wreaths) and fresh or artificial floral arrangements (Palfrey).[1]"
However, the most important part of this process is to build an altar to welcome the departed soul home, using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed! Celebrations on November 2nd are like carnivals, as stories about the dead are remembered and retold. People who are very talented at writing sometimes create silly short poems about their friends that describe interesting habits or funny stories about their lives. Dia de los Muertos is a day to remember and celebrate lives.
At P.S. ARTS, many of our Teaching Artists do a variety of projects in their art classrooms to celebrate this popular Mexican holiday. Several of our theatre classes are working on pieces that will be presented at community celebrations. Mr. Pedro's middle school class at Reef-Sunset Middle School wrote monologues to perform (as well as build a giant tree for their show!) and Miss Martha from Edison Language Academy is working with her elementary school students on a presentation for the school's Dia De Los Muertos celebration, with each grade presenting a different skit or poem.
Our Visual Arts teachers also used this time to further cement the students' understanding of our overall theme for the year ("Tree of Life: Roots and Branches") by making the connection to cultural traditions as foundational to our identities, just as roots are foundations for trees. Miss Tamie from Grand View Elementary and Miss Sandy from John Muir Elementary are both leading units on Dia de los Muertos; students created calacas (skeletons) necklaces and "Skulls on a Stick" while Mr. Ben from Mark Twain Elementary even taught the other teachers at his school how to make sugar skulls!
Every year in Los Angeles, there are several huge celebrations for Dias de los Muertos, and it's no different in our classrooms. Happy Dia de los Muertos!
A special thank you to our Chan Fellow Silu Zhang for taking these great pictures during her site visits!

One of themost fundamental differences between designing for the web and designingfor print is that there is little predicability in how your web designwill be viewed.

That means you don't have any idea how bigthings are going to be, or where the edges are.
Setting Up Photoshop Files for the Web
When youdesign a web site in Photoshop, there's a disconnect between the toolyou are using and the medium you are designing for.

Burkemper ("Burkemper"), sold unregistered securities in violation of Section 409.3-301, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2009); omitted to disclose material facts in connection with the offer and sale of securities in violation of Section 409.5-501, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2009); and engaged in dishonest or unethical practices in the securities business in violation of Section 409.4-412(d)(13), RSMo. (Cum.

Supp. 2009) and grounds to issue an order pursuant to Section 409.6-604, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2009).
Burkemper and the Enforcement Section desire to settle the allegations and the matters raised by the Enforcement Section relating to the Burkemper's alleged violations of the Missouri Securities Act of 2003.

"The commissioner is authorized to issue administrative consent orders in the settlement of any proceeding in the public interest under this act."
Burkemper waives his right to a hearing with respect to this matter.
Burkemper waives any right that he may have to seek judicial review or otherwise challenge or contest the terms and conditions of this Order.

Burkemper neither admits nor denies the allegations made by the Enforcement Section, but consents to the Commissioner's Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order as set forth below solely for the purposes of resolving this proceeding and any proceeding that may be brought to enforce the terms of this Consent Order.
Burkemper was a Missouri-registered agent with VSR Financial Services, Inc. ("VSR") from May 2004 to August 2009. Burkemper was a Missouri-registered agent of National Planning Corporation ("NPC") from October 1, 2009, through August 17, 2010.

From at least April 23, 2008, through approximately July 7, 2008, Burkemper and Vishnevetsky conducted business as Select Auto. Select Auto was not registered as a business entity and is not authorized to transact business in Missouri. Neither Burkemper nor Vishnevetsky has filed a fictitious name registration for Select Auto in Missouri. Burkemper and Vishnevetsky, doing business as Select Auto, purchased automobiles in the United States for resale in Russia.
Investors and Investigation Findings
The Enforcement Section investigation revealed that between August 2006 and March 2008, Burkemper, through IP Holding, sold investments in a Russian Vodka Stand Venture ("Vodka Stand Venture") to at least eleven (11) individuals. These individuals invested a total of one million nine hundred thousand dollars ($1,900,000) in this venture.
In or around October 2006, a resident of California ("CAR1") and CAR1's spouse ("CAR2") invested fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) with Burkemper in the Vodka Stand Venture.
CAR1 and CAR2 told an investigator with the Enforcement Section, among other things, that:
in or around August 2006, Burkemper talked with CAR1 and CAR2 about an investment in the Vodka Stand Venture. Burkemper told CAR1 and CAR2, among other things, that:
investors would receive a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, in late 2006 for investing in the Vodka Stand Venture;
they needed to act quickly so they would not miss the opportunity to invest in the Vodka Stand Venture; and
"based upon conservative estimates investors will get their money back in 1.3 years and enjoy annualized return on investment of 25%. of coarse these are only projections but i implore you and [CAR1] to get on board. i would hate for you to miss the boat on this one…i really tried to look at this from all angles and I truly believe in this. i wouldn't advise you to put money into it unless i felt very confident." (errors in the original);
prior to this October investment, Burkemper did not provide CAR1 and CAR2, among other things, any of the following written documents relating to the Vodka Stand Venture:
business plan;
risk disclosure; or
statement of financial condition;
prior to this October investment, Burkemper did not disclose, among other things, the following material facts:
that the securities offered were not registered or exempt;
the risks of the investment;
the financial condition of the Vodka Stand Venture;
that some investor money would be used to purchase automobiles for Select Auto;
background information on the directors, officers or other persons having similar status or performing similar functions, including, but not limited to, their:
In August 2007, a resident of Colorado ("COR1") invested fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the Vodka Stand Venture through Burkemper.
COR1 told an investigator with the Enforcement Section, among other things, that:
during multiple occasions prior to COR1's investment, COR1 spoke with Burkemper regarding the Vodka Stand Venture. Burkemper told COR1, among other things, that:
there were eight (8) vodka stands in operation;
the stands made approximately six hundred dollars ($600) per day;
the Vodka Stand Venture needed additional funds to open twelve (12) additional stores;
the Vodka Stand Venture would be able to support itself as well as begin cash flow back to investors with the opening of twenty (20) stores; and
the existing stands "were such a success and that the retail reception was so great" that IP Holding had received an offer of five million dollars ($5,000,000) to buy the existing stores and concept;
prior to COR1's investment, Burkemper did not provide COR1, among other things, any of the following written documents relating to the Vodka Stand Venture:
business plan;
risk disclosure; or
statement of financial condition.
prior to COR1's investment, Burkemper did not disclose, among other things, the following:
that the Vodka Stand Venture was not registered in the State of Missouri;
that investors' money would be used to purchase automobiles for Select Auto; or
financial information concerning the Vodka Stand Venture.
COR1 communicated with Burkemper regarding the Vodka Stand Venture through Burkemper's VSR office telephone and e-mail address.
Burkemper provided a copy of the 2006 Vodka Stand Venture business plan to an Enforcement Section investigator. This business plan stated, among other things:
that the management included Burkemper (36.5% ownership), Vishnevetsky (25.5% ownership), Vladimir Esipovich (10% ownership), and Gleb Vidra (3% ownership);
that the company was based in St. Louis, Missouri, and would open business locations in Russia;
that the company would issue thirty million (30,000,000) shares of common stock;
that capital raised from investors would be held in escrow until the project was totally funded; and
that "[t]he first 1.40M of distributable cash flow plus 14% of the amount invested will be going to the investors. Shouldinvestors not receive the funds by the beginning of the [sic] year 4, investors will start to accumulate 8% of interest on the initial investment."
An investigator with the Enforcement Section reviewed the bank records of IP Holding, Burkemper, and Vishnevetsky. These records revealed that Burkemper and Vishnevetsky received in excess of three hundred fifty thousand dollars ($350,000) from the IP Holding bank account. At least some of the funds received by Burkemper were used to pay for Burkemper's personal expenses.
These bank records revealed that between April 2008 and June 2008, investors' funds in the Vodka Stand Venture totaling three hundred nineteen thousand dollars ($319,000) were transferred to bank accounts for Select Auto and used to purchase automobiles for Select Auto.
A check of the records maintained by the Missouri Commissioner of Securities confirmed that there was no registration or notice filing indicating status as a federal covered security for the investments offered by Burkemper, Vishnevetsky and/or IP Holding.
At least two (2) of the eleven (11) investors in the Vodka Stand Venture were Burkemper's customers at VSR. Burkemper did not accurately disclose this outside business activity ("OBA") to VSR:
in 2005, Burkemper filed an OBA form with VSR that did not disclose that Burkemper was engaged in the Vodka Stand Venture;
in 2006, Burkemper submitted a written request to obtain VSR's approval to engage in an OBA with a Russian company. In this request, Burkemper stated, "I have no plans to solicit any money or participation of any sort, from existing clients. If circumstances change I will consult with VSR and obtain VSR approval." VSR's former president approved Burkemper's OBA as outlined in Burkemper's request. The reply also stated, "Once you begin this OBA, please officially notify VSR by filing a revised outside business activity report which shows this new OBA." No new OBA form was filed by Burkemper;
for the years 2006, 2007, and 2008 Burkemper did not complete an OBA form for VSR; and
on June 2, 2009, Burkemper submitted an OBA form to VSR that stated, in pertinent part, that Burkemper was involved in a "venture capital entity" called IP Holding. In an addendum to the 2009 form, Burkemper stated that IP Holding was investment-related. Burkemper stated that he was the president of the business and his duties were to monitor the progress of investments.
The Commissioner finds Respondent Burkemper violated Section 409.3-301, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2009) when he offered and sold unregistered securities in and from Missouri to eleven (11) investors without these securities being (1) a federal covered security, (2) exempt from registration or (3) registered under the Missouri Securities Act of 2003.
The Commissioner finds Respondent Burkemper violated Section 409.5-501, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2009) by making untrue statements and omitting to state material facts necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in connection with the offer, sale or purchase of a security to investors.
The Commissioner finds that Respondent Burkemper engaged in dishonest or unethical practices in the securities business when he made false or misleading representations to investors regarding an investment in the Vodka Stand Venture and when he failed to disclose these business activities to VSR, and that this conduct constitutes grounds to discipline Respondent under Section 409.4-412(d)(13), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2009).
The Commissioner, after consideration of the stipulations set forth above and on the consent of Respondent Burkemper and the Enforcement Section, finds and concludes that the Commissioner has jurisdiction over Respondent and this matter and that the following Order is in the public interest, necessary for the protection of public investors and consistent with the purposes intended by Chapter 409, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2009).
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby Ordered that:
Respondent Burkemper is barred from transacting business in the State of Missouri, or applying for registration to transact business, as an agent, investment adviser representative, broker-dealer or investment adviser;
Respondent Burkemper is prohibited from violating or materially aiding any violation of the Missouri Securities Act of 2003;
Respondent Burkemper shall pay to the Missouri Secretary of State's Investor Education and Protection Fund the sum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) of this payment will be suspended, provided Respondent Burkemper is and remains in compliance with the terms of this Consent Order. The remaining fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) shall be payable by Respondent Burkemper to the Missouri Secretary of State's Investor Education and Protection Fund and shall be sent to the Securities Division, 600 W. Main Street, Jefferson City, Missouri 65101, in the following manner:
Respondent Burkemper shall pay four thousand one hundred sixty-three dollars ($4,163) within ten (10) days following the execution of this consent; and

If Respondent misses any payment, the full amount remaining shall be immediately due and payable;
Respondent Burkemper shall pay five thousand four hundred and seventy dollars ($5,470.00) as the cost of this investigation. This amount shall be sent within ten (10) days of the effective date of this Consent Order to the Securities Division at 600 W.

Poughkeepsie, NY 12601
Reservations: 845.485.2739
Lunch & Dinner ~ Wednesday through Monday
Closed Tuesdays
Today, Poughkeepsie's Mill House Brewing Company officially opened the doors, and the taps. The highly anticipated opening had patrons three deep at the bar and waiting briefly for a table. We managed to secure a "high top" in the open kitchen area, so we could watch Chef Dan Crocco and his crew try to keep pace with the turnout as we enjoyed our meals.
Fans of the original Mill House Restaurant will appreciate the effort that the new owners made to preserve the original architectural themes of the site, but they will also not recognize much of the new space. Stylistically the rooms reflect the bare brick, old mill flavors, but after millions of dollars of improvements and additions, the new restaurant's scale and gorgeous attention to detail overwhelm the original. The restaurant can accommodate over two hundred diners on three floors, in addition to an outdoor patio. These people have made a huge financial commitment to the new business, and it really shows.
The theme is classic brew house, but the kitchen and the menu is more than you would expect in a brewery. The current list of draft beers offers six house made brews. I sampled glasses (9 oz / $3) of a classic Bavarian style Pilsner, and a very flavorful, hoppy "Calibrator" IPA. The selections continue up the scale in texture and ABV. Amber Ale comes next at 5.2 ABV, and the list finishes with the a "Velvet Panda" Stout, which I imagine pays homage to the Mill House Panda Chinese restaurant that occupied the space before the brewery.
You can see the entire dinner menu here.
I'll be the tall one at the bar with the IPA.
If you do stop in please let our other readers know about your visit in the comments section.

Even Amid War, Syria Continues to Promote Tourism
Sep 04, 2013 12:17 am
Skift Take
This tone-deaf effort just shows how out of touch the Syrian government is – not only with its own people, but with reality.
The Assad regime, perhaps in a vain attempt to maintain some air of normalcy, has continued to direct government resources towards tourism outreach. As recently as August 25th, the ministry of tourism was announcing initiatives designed to "continue to build Syria as an international tourist destination all over the world."
At the time of the now-infamous chemical attacks, Assad was personally issuing an amendment to encourage tourism and consumer protections.
There's perhaps no better testament to the delusional nature of the Assad regime than its dedication to promoting its tourism sector in the face of all-out war. But promote it did.

A Long, Full Life
Ga-Ga's memorial service was Saturday. It was beautiful. The minister knew her personally and knew her well, and his homily was perfect. He got Ga-Ga.
We sang "How Great Thou Art." One of Ga-Ga's favorites.
We sang "Be Still My Soul." Another one of Ga-Ga's favorites.
We sang "Blessed Assurance." One of my favorites. (Ga-Ga's, too.)
Then the choir sang a beautiful arrangement of "In the Garden." One of Ga-Ga's favorites. My other grandma's, too.
My sister read scripture.
My older brother spoke.
My cousin, whom I hadn't gotten to see for nearly ten years, read a synopsis of Ga-Ga's life.
As for me, I was content to sit in the pew and soak a handful of kleenexes with my quiet tears. Because as soon as I took my seat at the service, I realized that it was the exact row in which I used to sit when I attended church with Ga-Ga as a child. And I imagined it might be the last time I'd ever sit there again.
The service was beautiful and fitting. Afterward, we went to The Depot and had pie in Ga-Ga's honor. They'd opened it up just for the afternoon, because it had been Ga-Ga's favorite place to have pie with friends.
But then, on the long drive back to the ranch, it occurred to me.
Ga-Ga got to have her own children.
She got to give her grandchildren baths.
She got to celebrate her great-grandchildren's birthdays.
She lived a long, full life. She got to do every single thing she ever wanted to do.
And I suddenly realized I had nothing more to be sad about where Ga-Ga is concerned.
So I turned my heart, my tears, my prayers toward those who need them the most.
I turned them toward Connecticut.
Here's a prayer I try to keep in the forefront my mind. Many of you grew up with it and know it well.
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
I pray God's peace, comfort, and healing for every family suffering after the tragedy in Connecticut. An entire nation is crying with you.
You'll be in our hearts every single day.

Dear Ree,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of your Ga-Ga.
My maternal grandmother was my best friend and most trusted confidant.
You will miss her, but she will always be with you.
Rhonda On Friday, December 21 at 6:52 am
I thought I would be able to get through your post without crying… after a week surely my throat wouldn't tighten up as I repeat Prayer of St. Francis. Nope, my heart is still crying for those who lost such beautiful children.
I know you miss your Ga-Ga; but she has left behind such a wonderful legacy. Continue your life in her traditions.

Very well said.
Debi On Friday, December 21 at 10:37 am
Ree….am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Ga-Ga. What a beautiful tribute, in her name, to honor her life and realize what a gift you were to each other through the generations. God's blessings to you and your family; Merry Christmas. Debi
Sheila On Friday, December 21 at 11:16 am
GaGa would be proud of you, Ree, and I join you in that prayer for others.
Connir F. On Friday, December 21 at 12:23 pm
The Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls, MN live by the Prayer of St. Francis…I am very blessed to know them. My sympathy, love & prayers to you all…its hard losing someone we love…they live in our hearts forever and think about them often because of the beautiful memories made. May the Lord's face shine upon you Ree & family! Connie

Amen and amen
Missy On Friday, December 21 at 9:10 pm
I am so sorry about your Ga-Ga. I understand how u feel, my dad has weeks to live with his leukemia. Unfortunately he is only 66. but he seems to be handling it well.
I wanted to say I absolutely LOVE your show. I watch all the repeats and enjoy every recipe I've been able to make! I would make them all but am handicapped due to lupus etc…..
lol just realized how NOT uplifting I'm sounding but I'm like u I have a good sense of humor so I try my hardest to stay positive.
I wish you, Ladd, your beautiful kids and your entire family including animals (….my 3 rescued doggies, whom rarely get called their given names, also send big woofs to Chuckles and the gang, haha)….. Skipper, Gracie and Francie…aka skippum, princess grace and puddems aka ma petit fille…….and all are also referred to as snookie-wookums….♥
ps. as a CT resident, we thank u for your beautiful prayer. My sis-in-law is an educator and although not in Newtown, it's scared our family a lot.
Be safe and well everyone!
Denise On Saturday, December 22 at 2:33 am
I identify with how you're feeling. We just lost my father-in-law last week. He was a follower of Christ and also lived a full life. It seems surreal that he is gone, but when I think of the families who have lost children, spouses, and parents at such a young age, my heart just breaks for them. My prayers are with all these families during this difficult time.
Heather On Saturday, December 22 at 8:34 am
Thanks for thinking of our community. The support has been amazing. I'm on the site looking for a few meals to make to share with families in town. I always love your recipes.
Thanks from Newtown.

It was hard to hear about your grandmothers passing, and the obvious love you have for your grandmother.
I've struggled with my own precious grandmothers passings years past – still. Your words in this post, struck a chord… "She lived a long, full life. She got to do every single thing she ever wanted to do." I had spoken those words but I guess never really let what that meant sink in. You know those "aha" moments … this was one of those.
Thank you for sharing the love you hold for all of your family, for sharing your ga-ga with us all. And know, that in the days since her passing and those to come… you never walk alone.
The heartbreaking moments in CT this past week – is still so hard to wrap our hearts and minds around – the entire nation grieves and surrounds the community of Newtown. It's a national embrace…. we collectively are holding them close to our hearts, surrounding them in a gentle protective embrace.
I have this prayer on a index card; it was in my grandma's bible. I never knew the "title" of it – it is a prayer that I cling to.

God Bless! rest in paradise-grandparents are such a blessing!

Haven't had the chance to read your blog in quite a while. Started following you years ago when your blog was featured on typepad and fell in love with your wit & pictures of farm life and your open love of your husband and his fine buns!
I am so sorry to hear of GaGa's passing and I love the fact that you celebrated her life and refocused your grief on those who truly need it. Thanks for continuing to "keep it real" and reminding us all with the beautiful prayer what is important in life. My condolences to you and yours.

Beautifully said, Ree. Thank you.

I am so sorry for your loss.
Sheree On Monday, December 24 at 2:04 am
Ree I am so sorry for yours and your family's loss. My father, the best friend I've ever had passed away on 11/17/12 and when he did it felt like my entire world collapsed, the pain from missing him was unbearable…until the terrible tragedy that happened 15 minutes from where we live.
When that happened I realized, just as you have with the loss of your Ga-Ga, That my dad had a full life and he lived it with no regrets and while I still mourn for him there are many people in Newtown who need prayers more.
I attended a couple of prayer vigils in Newtown and seeing the heartbreak on these parents faces and being a mother of 4 myself it certainly put things into perspective. My father had a very good life filled with adventure and love and those little angels were robbed of many great experiences life has to offer.
I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and are surrounded with love and joy. God bless

I read your post top to bottom . . . . all the way through . . . beginning to end. This time the lump in my throat was too great, and, I wept. Sobbed. Next to my daughter, beside my husband, I cried for those sweet souls.

Just catching up on your confessions and I know this is really about your GaGa, but your last three sentences really hit me. Beautifully said!

This post took me right back to my grandpa's funeral in 2008 when you mentioned "In the garden." Whenever any of his grandkids were with him, but especially if all 6 of us were together, my grandpa would ask us to play on the piano/sing "In the Garden" and would say "You need to practice, because you'll be singing this at my funeral" with a little twinkle in his eye.
And we did. As soon as he died and funeral arrangements were being made, it was an unspoken thing that the six of us knew we would do – stand up in front of his funeral and sing "In the Garden" for him one last time.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
A cultured/fermented ketchup that features only local ingredients.
Make your own delicious - and slightly spicy - ketchup in only 20 minutes!
When tomatoes are on sale or when you've been harvesting them off your own plants for days, it's time to delve into the world of ketchup making. Your family will thank you.
A delicious, thick and spicy cross between Tomato Ketchup and Brown Sauce. Very good indeed.
With no refined sugar or corn syrup, this thick, rich, nicely spiced date sweetened tomato ketchup tastes even better than the stuff from the bottle. It's also very easy and quick to make, in about 30 minutes, using whole peeled canned tomatoes.
Chipotle Maple Ketchup: spicy and sweet and great on everything especially my green pepper rings. Keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Want to make homemade ketchup but don't have a pot big enough too cook down all the tomatoes? Roast them in a turkey pan and then put your food processor to work to puree them.
After several years of experiments, I finally got the spices down to make homemade ketchup that tastes better than Heinz 57. Yes, a perfectly balanced, deep, rich homemade ketchup without all the nonsense. And it's safe for canning, too!
How to make just enough ketchup for a few weeks; for those of us that don't have enough tomatoes or time to put away jars and jars for winter...
There are many reasons to make your own ketchup. The bottled stuff (even the most top-shelf variety) has an indeterminate amount of sugar and "natural flavorings" — what does "natural" taste like, anyway?

Sammi Lee shot Georgia's low score on Sunday, a 75.
Oct. 6, 2013
NORMAN, Okla. --- The Georgia women's golf team posted a 308 in the second round of the Schooner Fall Classic at Belmar Golf Club on Sunday. The 17th-ranked Bulldogs are in 15th place entering Monday's final round.
"I think we're pressing," head coach Josh Brewer said. "We haven't had a really good finish in the first two events of the fall. We've had a lot of situations where we're 40 yards away from the green and miss the green completely. I know from our practices that we rarely make errors like that. We're trying to make birdies. We need to simply a bit and accept what happens. Tomorrow, we get a chance to do just that. Hopefully, we'll gain a little momentum for the rest of the fall and into the rest of the season."
A 75 from freshman Sammi Lee was Georgia's low loop of the day. The Bulldogs also counted a 77 by Harang Lee and a pair of 78s by Manuela Carbajo Ré and Mary Ellen Shuman and dropped Rocio Sanchez Lobato's 79.
"Sammi hung in there and put in a reasonably good score for us," Brewer said. "This is a tough course where sometimes being just a little off leads to five or six or seven bogeys."
With 18 holes remaining, Carbajo Ré is tied for 39th at 153, Harang Lee is tied for 43rd at 154, Sammi Lee is tied for 53rd at 156, Sanchez Lobato is tied for 56th at 157 and Shuman is tied for 68th at 161.
LSU leads the team field at 586, two strokes better than No. 9 Arizona State. The individual leader is LSU's Caroline Nistrup at 2-under 138, two shots ahead of both Jayde Panos of Oklahoma State and Madelene Sagstrom of LSU.
Live scoring during Monday's final round will be updated on a three-hole basis at www.birdiefire.com.

Popular Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is up for reelection in 2014, and he's done little wrong so far, even in the eyes of his political adversaries. In fact, the biggest obstacle standing between Hickenlooper and a second term might be the governor's fellow Democrats.
That, at least, is what Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler said Thursday in an interview at the Hotline's offices in Washington, D.C. Gessler has been mooted as a potential GOP gubernatorial candidate in 2014; he is one of three Republican statewide elected officials. He said he is planning to run for reelection to his current post. "I'm running for secretary of state" in 2014, Gessler said.
But when asked, as a leading Colorado Republican, to identify what Hickenlooper has done wrong so far in his first term, Gessler demurred.
"I'm hesitant to push any criticism of Hickenlooper right now," Gessler said. "We're going to see, is my answer."
Facing Hickenlooper's strong public approval and a decade-worth of dispiriting election results, state Republicans like Gessler have pinned their hopes of retaking the governor's mansion on the incumbent either choosing to retire after one term, like his predecessor Gov. Bill Ritter, or getting bogged down in liberal policy proposals from Colorado's Democratic-controlled state legislature.
"How he reacts to the Democratic legislature is key," Gessler said. "Ask me in five months."
Hickenlooper came into the governor's mansion with a business background and moderate credentials, and since then the divided Colorado legislature has not sent anything controversial to his desk. Now, with Democrats in control of both state legislative houses, Hickenlooper may have to act on liberal proposals in fraught areas like gun control, regulating Colorado's legalized marijuana, union rules, and new spending programs, among others. Other governors around the country have built first-term popularity while dealing with a divided government, and now some will have to exercise their parties' new power carefully with the 2014 elections approaching.
Republican troubles in Colorado are built on "a lot of structural things," Gessler said, listing Democrats' donor base, big interest group and union involvement, Latino population growth, and other factors in no particular order. Meanwhile, Gessler gave a much shorter answer when asked to describe the state of the Colorado Republican Party itself: "Disarray." Good congressional results in 2010 and 2012 are among just a few recent bright spots for the GOP; Hickenlooper won in 2010 partly thanks the complete implosion of the Republican campaign. But Gessler and others in the state's GOP hope that Democratic strength can rebound to Republicans' favor in 2014.

Rattle and Hum Sports Dallas Cowboys at St. Louis Rams Preview
Hosted by Bryan Houston with guest Matthew Postins
RattleandHumSports.com host Bryan Houston is joined by Dallas Cowboys writer Matthew Postins to preview the Cowboys at Rams this Sunday.
The Cowboys picked up their first win of the 2014 season last week in Tennessee and is a 1.5 point favorite to get win number two this week in St Louis.
Tony Romo was feeling some back pain this week. Romo has been sacked a league leading seven times in two games. What is his status and should there be concern?
The Cowboys beat Tennessee by running DeMarco Murray down the Titans throats. Murray has gained more rushing yards (285) than ANY other Cowboy through two games.
Will the Cowboys game plan be run, run, run or will they try to fool themselves and open up a the passing games despite the success running the football thus far this season and outsmart themselves?
Defensively the Cowboys have performed serviceably through two games. The good news this week is Orlando Scandrick will return after his suspension was reduced to the league's new drug policy. The bad news is that the surprising middle linebacker, Rolando McClain, has suffered a groin injury joining Justin Durant in that category which makes rookie Anthony Hitchens the most viable option in the middle of the Cowboys second level of defense should Durant and McClain be limited or out.
The Rams have been quiet about their starting quarterback, either Shaun Hill or Austin Davis, as a strategical move but will it matter? Will the Cowboys bring home a 2-1 record from St. Louis or will they drop a game they should win before welcoming the Drew Brees and the high flying New Orleans Saints to primetime at AT&T Stadium next Sunday night?

Rattle and Hum Sports - Dallas Cowboys Postgame Show
Hosted by Bryan Houston with guest Matthew Postins
RattleandHumSports.com host Bryan Houston welcomes Matthew Postins to provide a cool down after a back and forth game between the Cowboys and Rams.
Austin Davis started for the Rams and was hot in the first half leading the Rams to 14 of their 21 point lead. Tony Romo thew an ill-advised pick six placing the Cowboys in a 21 point hole in the second quarter.
However, the Cowboys got the running game going again with DeMarco Murray, despite another early fumble by the league's leading rusher.
The Cowboys would go on to score 20 unanswered points to cut the Rams lead to one 21-20 heading into the fourth quarter.
The defense came up with key stops and turnovers, Tony Romo and the offense made plays when they had to and the Cowboys had some good fortune from the referees play a part in the outcome.
Was this a true team effort today? Have the Cowboys stayed committed to Murray who had his third 100 yard rushing day despite the fumbling in all three games.
What kind of grade can you give the Cowboys defense who played without linebackers Rolando McClain and Justin Durant? Did Anthony Hitchens make a statement with a key fourth and inches stop of the Ram's offense giving the ball back to his offense?
Speaking of statements, many are being made about Morris Claiborne and his continued struggles to live up to his draft position in 2010. Is time for the Cowboys to give up hope on the once promising corner from LSU? Is it that difficult to learn zone coverage for a player who has always been a man to man corner?
Join Bryan and Matthew as they tackle these questions and several more LIVE at 4:00 PM CDT

Philly nearly became the first team in NFL history to blow a 27-point, regular-season lead in regulation as the Eagles held off the hard-charging Rams (1-3) 34-28.
Austin Davis rallied the Rams back from a 34-7 deficit with three straight scores, but his incomplete pass on a 4th-and-13 with less than a minute remaining sealed the outcome.

ALBANY, Ga. -- The Dougherty County Commission will likely decide the future of its small business office at a meeting March 21, commissioners said Monday.
The county has been trying to determine how best to proceed with its small business program after its in-house program failed to yield the type of results some on the commission had expected.
Commissioners discussed three options for the future direction of the program Monday.
The first option is one that has already been presented by the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute, which would allow Tech to manage the county's small business program and make it mirror that of a similar program used by the city of Albany.
That program comes with a $50,000 price tag.
Option B would expand the service area allowed in Option A -- from five counties to seven counties -- for commodities and services and 29 counties for construction. This plan also includes the creation of a purchasing database to track various indicators of participants in the program so that the county can have information about who it is benefiting.
The cost for Option B is $65,000.
Option C would allow the county to provide the data collected from its purchasing department to Georgia Tech to create and maintain a database for tracking purposes. There would be no other direct support of Dougherty County's Small Business office.
Option C would cost $45,000.
The county is currently operating a small business office, which County Administrator Richard Crowdis said Monday has seen little traffic since Pinky Modeste, the head of the program, left to work for the Southwest Georgia Regional Commission.
The commission will likely decide to give a 30-day closure notice before deciding which method to take for the future of the small business program.
The program itself is meant to help small businesses gain an advantage on government bids, something that is frequently lost when larger companies bid on projects.

Yes, I think we basically agree. I want people to make rationale decisions about gun ownership. I'd also like to see real statistics so we can judge the risks on both sides.
I'm sure the early adopters and advocates of CCW probably have the same feelings as you. But I'm concerned that as there's more and more sensationalism and emotional reactions (see the uptick in gun purchases in Colorado), the new applicants for CCW won't be as conscientious in their gun ownership and we'll see more issues. Just because someone took some training classes doesn't mean they'll follow through on the responsibility part.
I'm not asking to gauge the severity of the outcome, I'm asking you to determine the chances of that outcome happening. The outcome of being killed by a mass murderer is that you are dead, but what's the real probability that it's going to happen. And, then, does greatly overestimating the probability and responding by owning a CCW make things worse. If you own a gun, it certainly increases the probability that something bad will happen regardless of the amount of training you have.
Some other cases where we grossly overestimate the risk of something happening because of emotion/fear: Fear of flying (as I mentioned before), Not vaccinating children because of possible side effects, ...
As terrible as your situation was, it's still just a single data point. There are also many instances where a gun was found by a child at home when then who accidentally killed someone with it.
I want to make sure that people consider both sides of the story when discussing gun ownership and CCW. What's the chance that you'll need to use the CCW? vs. What's the chance that the CCW will cause harm?
First off, I'm sorry that you experienced violence in your life.
But, you completely missed the point of the post. I was not talking about people who are actively in danger, we all know they are subject to the fight or flight mechanism.
The point is when people THINK about a situation involving fear and emotion, they greatly over estimate the risk of that situation happening to the detriment of making sound, logical decisions. For example, someone afraid of plane crashes so they drive instead when the evidence shows that it is safer to fly.
I would like to know what the real chance of someone being involved in violence that could be averted with a CCW vs. the chance of a CCW causing harm.
Or even better, have people concentrate on things that have a much higher chance of harming you rather than violence - car accidents, illness, pollution, etc.
For everyone that is supporting the "I need a CCW to protect myself and my family" argument, please take some time to consider this. The human mind has a tendency to greatly over estimate risk especially when fear and emotion are involved (see: http://www.sra.org/docs_reg_risk_pres/P3.a.ii%20-%20Sunstein%20Zeckhauser%20Fearsome%20Risks.pdf). Some points from the paper:
- "many people will focus, much of the time, on the emotionally perceived severity of the outcome, rather than on its likelihood."
- "With respect to risks of injury or harm, vivid images and concrete pictures of disaster can 'crowd out' the cognitive activity required to conclude and consider the fact that the probability of disaster is really small."
- "Activating the emotional centers in the amygdala shuts down the operation of the executive functions of the prefrontal cortex."
So, what's the probability of dying from violence when you're out in your community? What's the probability of a CCW holder coming upon a violent crime? What's the probability of a CCW holder's weapon being accessed (stolen, found at home, etc.) by someone else and used?
The argument that having a CCW is better than not having one is incomplete. It's equivalent to not flying because you're afraid of crashing and driving instead. You need to properly gauge the risks on both sides: being a victim of violent crime vs. contributing to gun violence.
You do know that when a school levy is approved, the amount of money being generated by the tax is fixed and not the millage.
So, no matter how your house changes in value, you pay the same amount.
Liberty Boulevard,
You'd support taxes for parks and not education? Education is a key factor in our community growing and thriving. The kids that are being educated now are the ones that we are counting on to come up with the next great advances in technology, medicine, etc. Having a highly educated society should be at the top of everyone's list, not just those with kids.
Parks are nice, but if there has to be a choice as to what a community supports in general via taxes versus what it supports via user fees, I'd have to pick education for general support.
To answer your question about renters. The owner of the property will pay the increased taxes which will most likely be passed along as rent increases to the tenants. So, the renters also have skin in the game when it comes to property taxes.
The main issue is risk. The chances of something going wrong with the launch and spewing radiation through the atmosphere are still too high - even with a hardened container
Hey guys, slow down, take a deep breath, and try working on your reading comprehension before jumping to conclusions.
This article is about truck crashes (tipping over) on Dead Man's Curve. The statistics quoted about deaths are related to trucks. The one's you found relate to cars.
Isn't it embarrassing when people fail to understand what they are reading and jump to completely wrong conclusions?
You guys owe the reporter an apology. I'm surprised he didn't post a reply to your obviously wrong post.
If there is no parking charge (remember market shoppers get a free 90 minutes), then who should pay for the parking lots? The money has got to come from somewhere.
How about the vendors at the market? This will cause all market users to pay more. What if I rode RTA or walked? I don't want to pay for parking I didn't use.
How about using general City of Cleveland funds? This will cause everyone who pays taxes to Cleveland to pay. What if I never go to the market? I don't want to pay for parking I never use.
How about charging the people who are using the parking lot? Perfect, the people that drive their cars and park it in the lot pay for it. What could be fairer?
Also, please re-read the original article. The city is not charging parking fees to raise general revenue. The revenue is needed for improvements to the parking lot and the surrounding transportation infrastructure.
First please read up on how scientists have arrived at their global warming conclusions. It's much more that 6 months of warm weather, or 120 years of records. Also, remember, no one is denying that the earth has warmed and cooled before. The problem is that now human induced emissions are significantly accelerating the warming process.
Here are some of the negative impacts of global warming that you didn't mention:
- Rise in sea level flooding coastal regions - ask New York City how it's going to deal with a sea level rise
- More frequent and powerful storms (tornadoes, hurricanes)
- More droughts and more floods (weather will be more variable)
- Northward shift of growing regions- the "breadbasket of the world (American plains)" would move into Canada"
- Heat deaths will go up
- Cooling costs will go up
- Evolved relationships between species could get out of sync (plants could bloom too early for the insects required to pollinate them)
I think I'd prefer to try and stop the accelerated warming because these things are much more harmful for the US and our economy.
Regarding your "Snowball Earth" comments. One of the major assumptions in making the models for "Snowball Earth" work is that the majority of the land mass (aka continents) are near the equator (see: silicate weathering). This was true "millions of years" ago, but we don't really have to worry about that any time in the near future. In a few million years, we might though. Also, this is a controversial hypothesis that is undergoing real debate in the scientific community. It has nowhere near the scientific consensus that global warming does.
The 800 year lag actually helps to prove that the current period of global warming is being accelerated by man-made greenhouse gas emissions. The logic is as follows:
1) In previous warming periods, there was a lag between temperature increase and CO2 increase by 800 years. (Vostok ice core data). This lag can be explained by the release of CO2 from the oceans as they warmed in response to the climate warming up. As the water temperature increases, it can hold less CO2 (http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/04/the-lag-between-temp-and-co2/).
2) In the present warming period, both temperature and CO2 are increasing (no 800 year delay). So, temperature and CO2 are correlated now for some reason.
3) Natural causes were the main cause for previous warming/cooling cycles. But, in this current cycle, the natural causes cannot account for the accelerated warming we are seeing.
4) So, what's different this time? The extra CO2 from human emissions that's in the atmosphere.
To point out one more thing, the blog link you gave is from someone named "Swampie" - no other information is provided on that page as to the qualifications of "Swampie" to make scientific observations about climate. The article that I linked is by Eric Steig and isotope geochemist who education and research is in ice cores, climate variability, statical climate analysis, and atmospheric chemistry. Which one would you believe?
To clarify one thing about Romney's remarks, his investments are in a blind-trust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_trust). Because of this, he has no idea how it's invested, what the tax consequences are, etc. It has nothing to do with him hiding anything. The management is left completely up to the trustee without input or knowledge from Romney.
This is a good thing for politicians because it helps to avoid conflict of interest. If you don't know what your investments are, you can't use your elected office to influence them.
Please try to be a little more informed before jumping to conclusions.
You're mostly correct, but way off in the reimbursement. The reimbursement for not using bus transportation is around $200 per YEAR now, not month.
This program is a state law and has the following criteria:
1) the student is eligible for transportation but is deemed impractical to transport
2) the student lives one mile or more from the school.
Note a school district can do this with its own students. If you live in an area that the district deems impractical (hard to access, not enough kids to make a route), then the district can just pay you (this small amount) in lieu of providing bus service.
To further expand on this (based on my experiences driving in the EU), we need to:
1) Do a much better job teaching that driving is a privilege and not a right. This is the fundamental belief in Europe and it results in drivers that follow the laws treat driving with the respect it deserves. For example, passing on the right doesn't happen on highways in the EU. It's understood that it isn't safe and drivers actually follow the rule that slower traffic drives to the right. In the US, people drive like the road was build specifically for them.
2) Enforce our laws, use speed and red light cameras, etc. We need to get over the "constitutional arguments" over the use of automated devices. You're not losing your freedoms because a camera took your picture running a red light. Using automated devices where possible, can free up man power to enforce other important traffic laws like not driving in the right most lane, passing on the right, etc.
3) Stop using the term "accident" for collisions because they rarely are. The vast majority of "accidents" are the result of negligence, lack of attention, outright law violations, etc.
You need to look a little closer at the article:
"The college's men's and women's lacrosse programs have drawn smart students from middle-class families in states from across the country, Victor said. "
"At private schools it is a big thing to get them to come there. These are kids with good academic backgrounds and from families that are better able to pay for college and not need as much aid."
I think it can be inferred from both of these quotes that lacrosse players are better than average students.
Also, your logic isn't quite right. Most colleges mentioned here will their freshman classes each year - they are physically capped by dorm space, classroom space, etc. So, I don't see the school getting much in terms of incremental revenue. They are most likely not adding more students.
They are getting a higher quality student that comes from a more wealthy family, so there won't be as many worries about financial aid.
My argument is that article that Dr. Plait wrote references peer reviewed scientific research that forms the consensus we have today on climate change. The WSJ op-ed does not.
As crookedcrutch points out, there are always people who don't agree with the consensus - it's the nature of science. You have to ask why they don't agree: religion, economics, science. So far, there is no credible, peer reviewed scientific results that contradict the consensus on climate change.
Here are the papers that describe the methodology used by the scientists at Berkeley to get the "BEST data"
Would you please point out what is wrong with their methodology?
Here's a link to an article written about the WSJ opinion piece that you posted a link to: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/01/30/while-temperatures-rise-denialists-reach-lower/
Take a look at it and the many references it provides that show that the WSJ opinion piece is basically denialist garbage.
Dr Phil Plait, the author of the article, is a well respected scientist, critical thinker, and skeptic.
Please take some time to look at the tax expenditure report (http://www.policymattersohio.org/pdf/TaxExpendituresReport2011.pdf). Table 2 gives the top 20 expenditures.
The top one is sales tax relief for equipment used in manufacturing ($1.5 Billion), next is sales tax exemptions for prescription drugs ($570 million), next is the personal exemption you get when filing your income tax ($560 million), and so on.
This is hardly the republicans stepping on the backs of the middle class in favor of big business. About half of the dollar amount of the expenditures go to businesses, the rest goes to individuals. The majority of the business expenditures are necessary to promote economic development, compete with other states, etc.
I'd like to add one more thing to your comment. I think it is the job of the elected officials along with the fire chief and police chief to determine the appropriate staffing levels. That's still all on the management side. The chiefs should have the knowledge and data to determine those levels. That's part of their job.
They don't build the planes linearly (i.e, completely finish one before starting the next). They have many planes at various stages of production at one time - aka, a production line. 10 planes per month will roll out of this pipeline. That doesn't say anything about how long an individual plane is in the production process.

Forgot about that. Thanks. Yet another rung on the WorkPlay success barometer.
By my observation, they had the biggest crowd of the weekend.
Hard to fit in an assessment on all of the acts in one review. I did, however, do a play-by-play of the festival from my Twitter account (@BurgessBhamNews) all weekend if you'd like to check it out.
Last August was the first BAAM Fest (Birmingham Arts and Music). There were several similarities between the two festivals, the two most prominent being overlap of several local/Alabama musicians and several of the same venues, so it may be pretty easy to confuse the two.
Thanks for the feedback, ssscooter. You make some great points, which is valuable coming from someone involved with the local music scene.

Monte: I was actually not assigned to cover the Saturday night show at the Verizon Center. It sounds like you have a well-formed opinion on an issue that affected a lot of people, however, so I would suggest sending in an editorial. Check out the online form (http://www.al.com/birminghamnews/letters-editor/) and e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions. And thanks for the tip.
You are correct, Kace. Dave Mason and Traffic did the original version of the song. WSP performed it, however, in the style of the more popular Cocker cover with the iconic keyboard lead in.
I've seen The Hold Steady at Bottletree three times, and the last time was a sell-out. Bottletree is a great venue, but for anyone who hasn't experienced one, a sold-out crowd there is pretty miserable. The jump to WorkPlay's soundstage should be a welcome one for anyone that appreciates elbow room.
Also, another great act not mentioned: Local Natives (playing Oct. 13 on the soundstage), who were fantastic at Bonnaroo.
Great article, Mary.
And interesting how the decline of City Stages (2000-2009) almost directly coincides with the rise of Bonnaroo (2002-present). Maybe Birmingham should take some notes from their neighbors.
Whatever your views may be, we have truly lost a legend and pioneer of the music industry. R.I.P. brother.

OUTDOOR NOTES: Lack of snow hampers N.D. deer surveysFor the second consecutive winter, lack of snow is hampering efforts by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department to conduct aerial deer population surveys.
By: Herald Staff Report, Grand Forks Herald
Lack of snow hampers N.D. deer surveys
For the second consecutive winter, lack of snow is hampering efforts by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department to conduct aerial deer population surveys.
Snow is essential to spotting the deer from the air.
According to Bill Jensen, big game biologist for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, an airplane last week was able to fly a study area in the Turtle Mountains.
"That's the only place in the state we can start survey work," Jensen said. "Crews are ready; they're just waiting for the snow to pull the plug and go."
Winter aerial surveys are a key tool Game and Fish uses to sample deer populations and ultimately determine how many deer tags to issue for the next fall's hunting season. While lack of snow is keeping crews grounded, the scenario's not all bad.
"Anytime there's still bare ground in January, that's a good thing for wildlife," Jensen said.

DNR appoints Hier as new Crookston wildlife supervisor
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has appointed Ross Hier as Crookston area wildlife supervisor. Hier has been acting area wildlife supervisor since early 2012, when longtime area wildlife manager Terry Wolfe retired.
"We're excited to have Ross on board as the Crookston area wildlife supervisor," said John Williams, acting DNR regional wildlife manager in Bemidji. "He brings a wealth of knowledge to this position as an experienced wildlife biologist and manager."
Hier, who has more than 30 years of experience with the DNR Section of Wildlife, was assistant area wildlife manager in Crookston for the past 23 years.
"I look forward to addressing key management issues in the Crookston area," Hier said. "I'm excited to have the opportunity to continue working in this area on the many wildlife management projects we have created and planned. I have always felt at home in the northwest habitats and while working in the various communities of the work area."
Hier earned a bachelor's degree in wildlife management from the University of Minnesota-St. Paul and a master's degree in wildlife science from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. He and his wife, Leela, reside in Crookston with their two dogs.

Angler charged for having 250 fish over his limit
A Carlos, Minn., man faces up to $3,000 in fines and a year in jail after being charged with possessing nearly 250 fish more than the legal limit.
According to a news release from the Minnesota DNR, conservation officer Shane Osborne of Evansville, Minn., met up with Ronald Wayne Johnson, 69, as the fisherman was about to pull his portable fish house off West Spitzer Lake in Otter Tail County.
"I asked how the fishing was, and he said he caught some fish, but it wasn't that great," Osborne said.
When asked if he had any fish at home, Johnson said he wasn't sure.
"He then asked if I thought he had too many fish," Osborne said. "I said I wouldn't know that until I counted all of the fish he had. He said I could follow him home and check."
When Osborne and conservation officer Mitch Lawler of Alexandria, Minn., visited Johnson's home, they found 22 frozen half-gallon cardboard containers, six plastic bags and several loose fish and fish fillets. The cache totaled 228 sunfish, seven bass and six northern pike more than the legal limit. The fish restitution value is $1,560.
Thanks to an over-limit law that took effect in March 2003, Johnson could lose his fishing license for three years if convicted, in addition to the fines and possible jail time. He is scheduled to appear in Douglas County Court in February.

Sick MDD
I have a mirror door which has been working perfectly for a few months. Tonight while watching a video, the screen developed measles, or rather small matrix dots approx 1/8 in apart. it started small but wihin a few seconds, the whole screen was covered and I got a gray message"You need to restart your mac" This I did and the little dots came back. I have transfered my hard drives into my old G4 ethernet to write to you today. My MDD has 10.5, dual 1.25G, 2G ram, original video card. I keep thinking this is a video issue because it's what i see that goes wrong. I have watched tons of movies and downloaded videos before without any problems. Perhaps scan the hard drive containing the video to see if it's infected? Thanks group!!
G'day and wlcome to the forums.
Sure sounds like your video graphics card. If it is the original it has done well. If you have access to another G4 Mac you might try changing of cards and see if there is any joy. Another way to check it is with Apple Hardware Test if you have the original system install discs, probably about OS X.2 or thereabouts.
MDD use 4XAGP cards and 8X cards will run okay but they must be Mac cards and not PC. An ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Pro would be a pretty good choice and you can find them on eBay and such.
If you do not have Apple Hardware Test, go to this web site and download the version 1.2.6 for G4's. Drap the .dmg icon to the desktop, and then the left hand column of Disk Utility, pop in a blank CD and hit burn. The CD will be bootable holding down 'C' after the chimes.
sick MDD
Thanks for the quick reply. I have run Norton AV and found no viruses present. I'm going to look into a new card-probably an upgrade to make thing work a little better. I've used GeForce and ATI over the years and they both run well. I guess it's whatever ebay has at the moment at a decent price.
Did you run the Apple hardware test yet? I would run that before replacing the video card, as I believe the test checks the video card.
And as there are no Mac OS X viruses what would you expect Nortons to find as they use Windows virus definitions to do the scan? As a suggestions remove Nortobns by going to their web site and downloading the uninstaller.
And yes Apple Hardware Test does a check of the graphics.
sick MDD
I WOULD run the test IF the unit would stay stable long enough to run it. From start up. it will stay on for about 1 min before it crashes. I don't think it would give me enough time to start the program and give it time to analyze the problem. I'm assuming this AGP card won't work in my gigabit ethernet(what i'm using now). Thanks for the responses and advice.
AGP upgrade
I might as well upgrade the AGP. I was going to do this when I had the money but everything works so well. (Well it did until yesterday LOL). OK guys-tell me what i should get. Brand, size etc. I usually shop thru ebay unless you have a better idea. i listen to everyone and vote on the best solution. Nothing too extreme. I watch videos but really don't play crazy video games requiring huge memory. Muchos Gracias
Told ya the ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Pro.
I would try and repair permissions with the OS installer disc would be best. See if its then stable enough to run the test. You boot from the Test disc you make from the download. And get Nortons off the computer.
Sick MDD
This computer didn't have any start discs with it.I have used ONYX several times to repair permissions etc. I am curious why a video card would go bad. I've had Macs for years (15) and never had a problem with a video card. I thought this stuff was solid state as in "lasts forever". Did I do something wrong to make it go bad?
Over heating can be one cause and quite often the fan units seize up and fail, where fitted, causes the heat to build up and the card fails. Also not regularly cleaning out dust, particularly in a MDD model, can lead to card failure.
With computers nothing 'lasts forever' as electronics must fail eventually.
You guys are making me nervous with all this talk of failing MDD video cards....
*Patiently waits for Radeon 9000 Pro to go bad.....* :P
Don't want to scare you but the card is now what ~ nine years or so old as it was first released with the Quicksilver G4?
Take good care of the heat sink and make sure the fins do not become covered in dust.
Yeah, I'm well aware it could fail being that old...mine was one of the first to roll off the line in August of 2002. Mine also has the less problematic AC Bel power supply instead of the Samsung one.
And believe me, you wouldn't find a speck of dust in any of my computers. I open them quite often. Actually, my MDD was cleaned out completly BEFORE I even turned it on for the first time. Even the eMac was pulled apart the day I got it.

"I helped my parents celebrate the New Year and their first great grandchild with these lovely notecards. The high quality images in combination with the beautiful foil together made the perfect announcement for friends and family. Always a high quality product and timely delivery. Thanks once again Tiny Prints!"
"The cards felt of quality in your hands. They were not only beautiful with a black and white photo, they looked elegant and felt elegant."
"love, love, love the way this card turned out! we've received lots of compliments on it. stop reading this and order it already!! :D"
"Loved this card. Took a selfie with my reluctant family and managed to get New Year's Cards out by 12/31 - thanks to the speed and quality of Tiny Prints."
"As usual with Tinyprints, the quality of this card is exceptional. I was extremely happy with it and the turn around time was unbelievable. I ordered on a Sunday and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday. I ordered the blue version with the traditional rectangle shape and the solid blue back with three captioned pics. It looks fantastic! Almost too good to be true for the price, but that's why I love this company and order from them regularly. Also, I can't say enough about the customer service at Tinyprints. From my experience, It is one of the best companies for putting the customer first and making sure you are satisfied. I have been a customers for years and anytime I have had a problem with a finished product, the issue is resolved and a replacement immediately sent. And...they don't send my call out of the country and keep me on the phone for hours haggling over it. They are courteous, professional and efficient."
