Farming equipment sales fall 25 percent from 2014, Deere says
Solid sales in its construction equipment offset a global agricultural slowdown for Deere, and the company raised its outlook for the year.
Deere's shares rose nearly 4 percent in morning trading Friday.
The company's most profitable business is making and selling its green tractors and other farming equipment. But with less demand for large farm equipment, Deere is relying more on its backhoes, excavators and other construction equipment to grow sales.
A surge in home construction in the U.S. is likely helping. In April, builders broke ground on homes at the fastest pace in more than seven years, according to the Commerce Department.
Deere said sales of farming equipment fell 25 percent from a year ago to $5.77 billion in the second quarter, due to lower shipment of farm machines and the effects of the stronger U.S. dollar.
For the full year, Deere expects farming equipment sales to fall 24 percent from the year before.
Meanwhile, sales of construction and forestry equipment rose 2 percent to $1.63 billion and it expects them to also rise about 2 percent for the year. Deer's financing unit, which gives loans to customers to buy equipment, also improved, with revenue rising 14 percent to $653 million.
The company said its second-quarter earnings fell 30 percent to $690.5 million, compared with $981 million last year, but it was still better than Wall Street had expected.
The Moline, Illinois, company posted net income of $2.03 per share, which easily beat the per-share earnings of $1.57 that analysts were looking for, according to a survey by Zacks Investment Research.
Revenue fell 18 percent to $8.2 billion in the period, beating analyst expectations for revenue of $7.6 billion, according to Zacks .
Profit for 2015 is now expected to be around $1.9 billion, the company said, up slightly from the $1.8 billion it had projected earlier this year.
"John Deere expects to be solidly profitable in 2015, with the year ranking among our stronger ones in sales and earnings despite the pullback in the farm sector," said Chairman and CEO Samuel Allen in a printed statement.
Shares of Deere & Co. rose $3.52, or 3.9 percent, to $92.98 in morning trading Friday. Its shares are up 3.7 percent over the past year.

I'll tell you that these weren't exactly easy to photograph. Trying to portray their deliciousness all while thinking these look a lot like boobs was not an easy task. I found myself smirking as I held them up on their little white plate trying to snap a photo. Ah well, whether you think they look like mutant boobs or not is totally up to you. One thing for sure is they're tasty!
I saw these posted by Tablespoon.com and thought they seemed like a simple and easy snack, an easy dinner option, or something to take along to a BBQ because they'll be happening soon! I am going to be making roasted sweet potato and yukon gold french fries to go with thes
e! This is also such a kid friendly snack. What kid doesn't like a hot dog? Don't have all the ingredients? That's okay! You can always use a box mix. I used turkey dogs in these for a healthier version, but you could always use regular hot dogs, polish sausage or even those cocktail wieners. I like mine with a squirt of mustard and ketchup!
Corn Dog Mini Muffins
from happygoodtime.com
1 package of your favorite hot dogs (make sure these are pre-cooked hot dogs)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce (you can substitute with vegetable oil or butter)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl combine flour, cornmeal, salt and baking powder. In another bowl mix toge
ther eggs, milk, sugar and apple sauce. Gently fold in the wet mixture with the dry mixture to coat. Do not over stir, be gentle with your batter! Over stirring with cause tough, dry cornbread.
There will be lumps in your batter. Relax, it's okay!
Spray your muffin tin well with cooking spray or use muffin liners. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full. Be sure not to fill all the way to the top.
Cut your hot dog into one each pieces. I found that you get 3 good size pieces out of a standard hot dog. Insert hot dog into center of the muffin with the flat side down so they stand nicely.
Bake muffins 10-15 minutes or until done. At the 10 minute mark do the toothpick test to see if they are done. Mine were perfect at 15 minutes, but some ovens run hotter.
Remove from pan while warm to avoid over cooking.
Enjoy with ketchup, mustard or your favorite condiment!
This recipe created 14 standard muffins for me.

Great Barrington Fire Douses Blaze at Mill Complex
Great Barrington Police Investigating Bank Robbery; Suspects Arrested
Posted Feb. 15 at 2:31 p.m.: GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Police have issued an arrest warrant for a suspect allegedly involved in a bank robbery that occurred Monday at Salisbury Bank & Trust Co.
Posted Monday, Feb. 13, 8:31 p.m.: GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Chief William Walsh reports that the Police Department is investigating a bank robbery that occurred Monday afternoon.
Police responded at about 3:30 p.m. to the Salisbury Bank branch on Main Street. Upon arrival, officers were informed that a man entered the bank and passed a note to a teller demanding money. The suspect fled with a quantity of cash southbound on Route 7.
Police believe that a second suspect was waiting for him in a getaway vehicle.
The primary suspect is described as a white man in his late 20s or early 30s, between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-9, with a thin build, weighing about 150 pounds. He was wearing sunglasses and a gray sweat shirt.
No weapon was shown, and no one was injured.
The Great Barrington Police Department is investigating the incident with assistance from the state police.
If anyone saw anything suspicious in the area, they are urged to call Great Barrington Police at 413-528-0306.
Great Barrington Fire Fights House Blaze Twice
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Firefighters rescued an elderly man from a house fire Saturday afternoon from a two-alarm fire caused by cooking and had to return to the home on Sunday morning after a second fire ignited.
The home owned by Ruby Fuller for 50 years is a total loss. A GoFundMe page has been set up for the retired caretaker and foster parent, who had children living in the house with her. A total of seven people have been displaced.
According to Chief Charles Burger, the department responded on Saturday at 2:51 p.m. to 26 Dresser Ave. on a report of a kitchen stove fire at the two-story, wood frame, single-family home.
Upon arrival, firefighters and police officers, who also arrived on scene, learned that a 76-year-old man was trapped inside. Heavy smoke and flames engulfed the first floor of the home, with extension to the second floor.
Police, with assistance from a firefighter, were able to rescue the man by pulling him out of the house through a first-floor window. The man was then transported by Southern Berkshire Ambulance to Fairview Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A second alarm was struck as firefighters on Engine 3 made an aggressive attack on the first floor, verifying the remaining six occupants were out of the home, and then extinguishing the blaze 15 minutes later.
Crews from Sheffield, Egremont, Monterey, Stockbridge, and Lenox Fire Departments also responded to assist, along with the Hinsdale Fire Department's rehab truck and the Great Barrington support group, which is made up of wives and mothers of firefighters who provide food and water to crews. Firefighters remained on scene for several hours overhauling the building before clearing the scene around 7 p.m.
One firefighter from Great Barrington suffered non-life threatening injuries, and was treated and released from the hospital later that day.
Great Barrington firefighters continued to make regular checks of the home throughout the night and into the morning. A half hour after one of their checks, on Sunday, Dec. 12, around 11 a.m., firefighters received a 911 call that the home had once again caught fire.
Upon firefighters' arrival to the scene, they saw that the house was completely engulfed in flames, with fire coming out of every window. The Great Barrington Fire Department and the state fire marshal's office are currently still at the residence putting out hot spots.
The home is completely destroyed. The American Red Cross is working with the seven displaced residents to provide temporary housing.
Additionally, the Multicultural BRIDGE groups is working to provide meals, transportation and services to the family. Residents wishing to help out can donate through the GoFundMe page.
"This is an extremely unfortunate situation, where one family lost their home and all of their belongings in one day," Chief Burger said. "We encourage anyone who can help make this family's holiday as special as always, to please donate."
The origin and cause of the second fire remain under investigation by the Great Barrington Fire Department and state fire marshal's office.
Great Barrington Help Another Hiker Off Monument Mountain
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Chief Charles Burger reports that the Fire Department rescued a 60-year-old injured hiker from Monument Mountain on Monday afternoon.
On Aug. 29, at 2:41 p.m. firefighters, along with Southern Berkshire Ambulance, responded to Monument Mountain on a report of a hiker who had fallen on the Squaw Peak trail a short distance from the top. The man had injured his ankle and was unable to walk.
Sheffield and Egremont fire departments were immediately called in for assistance to provide their ATVs and manpower, along with the Western Mass Technical Rescue Team.
The first responding crew found the man, who was hiking the trail with a friend, stable but unable to put weight on his ankle. Because he was at a very steep location on the trail, Great Barrington firefighters rigged a rope system to safely lower him almost 150 feet down the mountain with assistance from the Western Mass Tech Rescue Team. Crews then carried the man a quarter mile to the farthest point ATVs could reach and he was safely secured on the vehicle and transferred off the mountain. The hiker declined medical attention and was transported home by his friend.
In total, about 30 rescue personnel responded to the incident, which took approximately 2 1/2 hours. All crews cleared the scene by 5:30 p.m.
This is Great Barrington's third rescue involving an injured hiker on Monument Mountain this month. The Great Barrington Fire Department also assisted the Monterey Fire Department on Friday with an injured hiker on the Appalachian Trail in Beartown State Forest.
Monterey and Stockbridge Fire Departments covered additional incidents in Great Barrington during the call, including a vehicle crash where a car caught fire in front of Monument Mountain Reservation that was unrelated to the rescue.
"I would like to thank Great Barrington's firefighters for their hard work, along with the other agencies who have routinely assisted us. It is a strenuous, time consuming job and yesterday's incident demonstrated team work at its best," Burger said. "Thankfully, the man suffered only a minor injury."
Rescuers Recover Hiker's Body in Monument Mountain Reservation
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The body of a missing hiker was recovered early Saturday morning from Monument Mountain Reservation after an eight-hour search and four-hour recovery operation.
The hiker was identified as Joan Sussman, age 67, of Ashley Falls. Family members said she was a frequent climber and regularly hiked Monument Mountain.
Fire Chief Charles Burger said the operation began as a rescue after Sussman called in to say she was injured and was at the top of the mountain.
Rescuers from the Great Barrington Fire Department and Southern Berkshire Ambulance were dispatched to the mountain at 3:18 p.m. A GPS ping showed the last known location as Squaw Peak, but the call was soon dropped and subsequent calls by dispatchers and rescuers went unanswered.
Because of the steep and rocky terrain, the Sheffield and Egremont Fire Departments were called in for additional manpower and for the department's additional all-terrain vehicles. The Western Massachusetts Technical Rescue Team was also activated. No one was found.
Searches along all of the trails proved unsuccessful. A strong thunderstorm rolled through with torrential rain, making hiking more dangerous.
Police K-9 units and the state police arrived on scene later on. The State Police Air Wing was requested but unable to fly because of weather conditions.
She was found at 10 p.m. on a rock cropping and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A delicate recovery operation then began using multiple crews and rope systems in the darkness. The hiker's body was finally removed from the scene at 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
"This is an extremely unfortunate situation. On behalf of the entire community and the Great Barrington Fire Department, I offer my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the victim," Burger said. "I am very proud of the hard work conducted by our crews, working through the night in poor weather to find and ultimately recover the victim. We wish the outcome was different, however."
The Great Barrington Police and Fire departments, the Sheffield and Egremont fire departments, the state police, the Western Mass. Technical Rescue Team, the Berkshire County sheriff's office, and Southern Berkshire Ambulance all responded. In total, 65 rescuers were on scene.
Monument Mountain is a popular hiking spot where the Fire Department performs multiple rescues each year. This was the second rescue effort performed in the past week. On Aug. 5, firefighters rescued a 22-year-old hiker who injured her ankle on the mountain.
The Stockbridge and Monterey fire departments provided station coverage for Great Barrington during the incident and responded to several other incidents.
The incident is under investigation by the Police Department.

Ad: Metro Atlantans spend "260 hours a year" commuting
A new ad about the region's dismal commutes made us worry that the best years of our lives are passing us by as we sit in traffic.
"Metro Atlanta, we have a problem," it says. "One of the longest average commutes in America. Over an hour every day, five hours a week you don't spend with your family -- 260 hours a year."
This made your PolitiFact Georgia team sad. While we're behind the wheel cursing traffic, we may be missing all of those Hallmark card experiences that are supposed to make the daily grind worthwhile.
A daughter's first steps. Her dance recitals. That magic moment when you realize her boyfriend is no good and you need to run him off with a baseball bat.
Is what the ad is saying true?
The ad was sponsored by the Metro Atlanta Voter Education Network, a group of businesses and civic groups. They are banding together to tell voters about a July 31 referendum that asks voters to raise sales taxes to fund transportation projects across the region.
Leaders hope to raise $6.14 billion over 10 years for a long list of transportation projects. An additional $1 billion would fund county and town projects.
Backers say that without it, the region will lose business to other places that are doing more to deal with traffic.
The ad was based on data from a February 2012 report from the Georgia Department of Transportation, a MAVEN spokeswoman told PolitiFact Georgia. The report said that the average work commute time in metro Atlanta was 30.3 minutes in 2010, which is up from 30.1 minutes in 2009.
The report cited the 2010 American Community Survey, a yearly national survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. It reported times for a 28-county area surrounding Atlanta.
The number cited in the commercial is the commute time for people traveling from home to work by all modes of transportation, including riding the train, walking, or using a bicycle.
Travel times for those who drive are similar. Those who commute alone in a car, truck or van spent an estimated 29.1 minutes on the road. Those who carpooled spent about 32.6 minutes.
If each commute is about 30 minutes, that means the average worker in metro Atlanta spends one hour commuting each day. If you work five days a week, 52 weeks a year, that equals 260 hours, the number cited in the commercial.
We found a few problems with this calculation.
Commuting expert Alan Pisarski, who frequently writes about transportation issues and testifies before Congress, told PolitiFact Georgia that the American Community Survey is generally the best -- and often only -- source for commute times in metro regions or cities.
But the survey is limited. It publishes times for trips to work, not trips home. If you're trying to find the average time spent commuting during a whole day, multiplying the ACS survey figure by two won't necessarily give you the right answer. The afternoon commute might be shorter or longer.
PolitiFact Georgia also noted that commuters often don't work all 52 weeks in a year. They often get a couple of weeks worth of vacation. The average time spent commuting each year might not be 260 hours.
We hunted for additional data in metro Atlanta, but did not find any recent research. We found nothing that contradicted their numbers, either.
So what's our conclusion?
MAVEN's television ad is based on information from the census that says the average trip to work in the Atlanta region is about 30 minutes.
It was a bit of a leap for MAVEN to conclude that based on morning commute data, metro Atlantans spend "over an hour every day" traveling to and from work.
The afternoon commute might be longer or shorter. We don't know because it's not part of the census data.
It was a bigger leap for them to conclude that since the year is 52 weeks long, workers therefore spend "260 hours a year" commuting. Workers often get a week or so of vacation or sick leave.
MAVEN's numbers are OK for a back-of-the-envelope calculation. They're also within reason.
However, metro Atlanta is so big and the commutes can be so different that assuming a trip to work takes as much time as the one back home is a bridge too far.
We give MAVEN a Half True.

WBERC chairman R N Sen said that the commission, with the help of CESC and West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company, would educate consumers on their rights in respect of power consumption.
"We will provide information on time limits for various services the distribution companies are to adhere to. They will also be made aware of their rights in respect of power consumption," Sen said at the inaugural session of the CII Energy Conclave 2015 here today.
Meanwhile, West Bengal aims to generate about 100 MW from rooftop solar units over the next two to three years.
"Our target is to generate at least 100 MW of power from rooftop solar panels in the next 2-3 years," state power and non-conventional energy minister Manish Gupta said.
However, West Bengal had never been an attractive destination for solar parks as investors had preferred other states like Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh for better heat recovery and conducive policy.
City-based CESC Ltd has 25 MW capacity solar plant at Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. The company has charted out a plan for 500 MW of solar and wind projects.
Speaking about power sector, Gupta stressed on the need for larger investments in R&D to devise technologies for efficient grid parities.
"That will go a long way in addressing power needs," he said.
India Smart Grid Forum president & CEO R K Pillai said the blueprint of the National Smart Grid Mission had been prepared and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi would launch the mission very soon.
The mission seeks to create a roadmap for adopting top-notch technologies by striking a balance between what is going to happen in the world and what is going to happen in India," he said.

Jamie Mladenoff, of Edward Jones Investments, and Jake Lawrence, of Riggle & Associates, have a unique job – they are invested not only in finances, but also in the clients trying to manage those finances.
As financial advisors in Hanover, they share all of their clients' personal ups and downs, offering professional expertise during major life milestones. From finding a first job to marriage, from the birth of a child to financing college, and from retirement to estate planning, the spectrum of advice they offer is broad.
Ideally, all financial advisors are invested in their clients' wellbeing as well as their finances, especially as finances become increasingly important, both men confirm.
By focusing on clients' finances as well as their wellbeing, advisors are better poised to "help families and individuals plan for expected life events and unexpected life events," explains Mladenoff.
"It's no different than trusting a mechanic to fix your brakes, or trusting a doctor with your health," explains Lawrence, "trusting a financial advisor or financial professional with your assets."
He adds that advisors should be familiar with changing environments, options, laws, and regulations that outsiders to the financial industry are less likely to keep up on because they're focused on their own family and career.
Only 40 percent of adults in the United States have a financial advisor from whom they seek guidance, according to a 2015 study by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. According to a similar study by Northwestern Mutual, less than half of millennials between 18 and 34 have had sought professional financial guidance.
When finances can be a gamble, and financial guidance can provide insight on how to best employ the hand you are dealt, what is preventing these families and individuals from gaining the help of professionals like Lawrence or Mladenoff, or any one of the estimated 17 financial advising firms in the Hanover area?
Partially, it's the difficulty of finding a financial advisor, and knowing which is the right fit, advisors note. It's also partially that common myths prevent many who could benefit from this kind of guidance from seeking it.
To alleviate some of the uncertainty, and help more families find the right advisor to guide them through their finances and personal life events, Lawrence and Mladenoff answer some key questions about the role of a financial advisor, and dispel some common misconceptions along the way.
What specific services can a financial advisor offer? A financial advisor can provide guidance not only for predictable life events like retirement, but also for events that can catch someone off guard, like sudden medical expenses, Mladenoff explains. Frequently, individuals associate a financial advisor with long-term retirement planning, and neglect to prepare themselves for unexpected events.
Services, Lawrence adds, can vary from income planning, investment research and analysis, and life insurance and social security analysis, to long term care, education, estate planning, and benefit plans. Lawrence says that "planning for retirement is probably one of the most important things you will ever plan for," and believes that uncertainty is all the more reason to consult with an advisor—because "it's not something you're typically coming across on a daily basis," and financial advising can help you be prepared for the unexpected.
When are good times to consult with a financial advisor? "The most important are life changes," says Lawrence. "Birth, death, retirement, marriage, or divorces are some of the key events." But he also explains that every time you leave an employer is a good time to be seeking advice for rolling over a 401k or other retirement plan. The process of saving for retirement begins with employment—it's important to have steps already in place so that when events occur, you are able to take them in stride.
Mladenoff agrees that the path to planning for retirement begins with landing your first job. From the beginning, young employees have to answer long-term questions like how much to contribute to a 401k, how to juggle savings and student loans, and how to save for important goals, like homeownership, education, and, eventually, retirement. Furthermore, personal life milestones, he explains, have financial implications from your first job forward.
Is this a relevant thing for young people to be thinking about as well? Both Mladenoff and Lawrence firmly agree. Mladenoff suggests that millennials, who have the luxury of time on their side, should make it a priority, even at the beginning of their careers. He argues that saving even only a small amount each month is far better than nothing, and adds that, "…after a year or so they might be surprised at how much they actually put away."
"It starts as early as we become an employee anywhere," says Lawrence. "Life insurance, the birth of a child, college planning, all those types of things happen to young parents or young individuals. They should at that point in time start thinking about the process [of planning for financial needs] and start making the steps to handle those needs."
What are the most common mistakes people make when they try financial planning on their own? Mladenoff's list of the top seven mistakes included:
- Not starting to save early enough. "We have a saying," Mladenoff explains, "It's about 'time in the market, not timing the market.'"
- Not saving enough for emergency expenses.
- Taking on too much credit card debt.
- Not saving for children's education.
- Buying a bigger house than you can afford with your income and budget habits.
- Unrealistic expectations.
- Letting emotion dictate financial moves, for example being swayed by bad news when investing, or letting fear paralyze you from making financial decisions.
Lawrence suggested that individuals struggle with not taking tax implications, investment risks, or changing costs and needs, into consideration. "There is always a less expensive way to do anything," he suggests, and adds that many individuals are hesitant to seek guidance because they are worried about cost, but "while they think, 'this is expensive,' that's not the case. It's always good to have someone by your side to help you through those life changes."
Do I need to have lots of money? "Absolutely not," assures Lawrence. "We all start somewhere, right? The goal of retirement planning is figuring out what your goal is, figuring out a plan that can help you get there, and stress testing the plan… Life would be easier for all of us if we were well-off or independently wealthy, but that's not the case." He adds that we, "like anyone else, work hard for our money, and without putting a plan in place we're more likely to make bad decisions that can cost us lots of money or years to catch up. Start with a basic employer plan, and appropriate contributions to reach your goal. That's how most clients start – simple – and grow to something they can be proud of and have worked hard for."
Mladenoff agrees: "Having a plan and remaining disciplined to the plan are more important," he says. Goals, risk tolerances, and assets, are all integral pieces of putting the puzzle of effective financial planning together, while massive wealth is not. "That's probably a big misconception," he suggests.
What constitutes a sound financial plan? Mladenoff explains that a sound financial plan is essentially a process and a place. "It's where you are," he says, "where you want to be, the questions 'can you get there,' 'how do you get there,' and 'can you stay on track,' and then adding proper diversification for your life stage."
Lawrence argues that a sound financial plan is defined by its ability to withstand the obstacles that life throws your way, as well as imperfections and corrections in the market. "A good plan looks at your needs, utilizes your risk tolerances, and matches them up. It's a plan you believe in with an advisor you can trust."
How do I find a financial planner, and how do I know which financial planner is right for me? Lawrence suggests talking with friends and family. He also suggests finra.org, the web site of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, to find local brokers. Most of his clients, he says, have been referred through a client or acquaintance. "You know you've found the right one when you've found someone you feel comfortable with and can trust. It's a relationship that doesn't happen overnight, but is earned over time… when they have your best interest at heart and are discussing things through bad times and good times."
Mladenoff also highlights the importance of speaking with friends, relatives, and coworkers, and finding out who they use, then interviewing those advisors and questioning them as to their qualifications, what type of experience they have, their investment philosophy, how they intend to communicate, what services they provide, and how they are paid.
"Association with a financial advisor is one of the most important business relationships one will ever have," he says, "so make sure it's a good one right from the start."

The Promise by vacher
Copyright Notice:
The Promise © 2002.
Artwork Description
I called this image in regard of how important promises become to us with time:
as solid as a rock when we make them, they can become as fragile as the tiny link that connects us to them, if we don't really care.
February 14th, 2005
I'm amazed at the beautiful filigree textures of the ivy upon the promise stone.
I am also drawn to the lit windows in the background-- they seem inviting and yet darkly mysterious at the same time, especially the ones at the most distant level.
Also, I love the concept!
January 29th, 2003
I've been exploring your gallery, exclaiming excitedly over each image I've clicked on- This one has become an immediate favorite! Your rendering of stone and stonework, your use of light,
the composition as a whole, and the concept itself- All are wonderful! Your work is as 'freeing' and inspiring as any I've seen- And your Epilogue interview most thoughtful and enjoyable reading also. Thanks very much for sharing your work!
September 23rd, 2002
Gee wiz, you have done such an amazing job on this, as well as all your other art. I am totally in awe. *Bowing to your skills*
September 11th, 2002
WOW, this picture is absolutely stunning. The composition, colors, idea, everything is top notch. *****
September 6th, 2002
superb lighting!
September 5th, 2002
Gasp! this is about the best rendering of a castle wall I have ever seen. The color and lighting is so outstanding too. It took me a moment to figure out what the promise was...Man that is good...You brought me into the story and left me hanging...Great Work!

Why become a medical assistant?
Medical Assisting is a great career for individuals who want an entry-level position in healthcare performing clinical and administration duties. Medical assistants are tasked with updating patient medical records, bookkeeping, assisting physicians with laboratory testing, developing and preparing X-rays and sterilizing medical equipment, to name a few responsibilities. A certified medical assistant (CMA) and an American Association of Medical Assistants' (AAMA) certification will open many jobs in Texas.
What do I need to do to become a medical assistant?
You should begin by researching accredited medical assisting colleges, such as CHCP, and reviewing admissions requirements. Secondly, contact the financial aid office at the accredited school of your choice that offers a program in Medical Assisting. A vigorous and robust curriculum in anatomy and physiology, pharmacology and medical terminology is essential to preparing you for a career in medical assisting.
Once your decision is made to attend CHCP, make sure you have requested official high school and/or previous college transcripts and make sure to obtain scores from any scholastic aptitude test you have taken or make arranges to take any assessment test you need. Once enrolled in the program, continually build your teamwork and interpersonal skills. Medical assistants work with dynamic teams and interact with patients to provide the best care possible.
What tests do I need to take to become a certified medical assistant?
Upon completion of the program you can register to take the CMA Certification Exam. You can apply through the AAMA website. Make sure you study for the exam by using resources provided by the AAMA. Many local chapters of the AAMA offer CAM exam review courses. Check with your local area chapter for specific details.

"I was very pleased with my first visit. The staff and Dr. Guthrie made me feel welcome and comfortable. The office was nicely decorated and modern. I'm actually looking forward to my next visit."
"Dr. Guthrie is phenomenal! We are a family of 7 and all our dental needs go to her! So do all our recommendations! 5 yo recently needed his tongue released and it was a perfectly smooth and flawless visit. When we had arrived for the procedure, he actually had a big grin and said how excited he was. Same bright smile when we left!"
"I chose Dr. Guthrie's practice based the many positive online patient reviews I read. This is a FANTASTIC dentistry team! Friendly, efficient, gentle and non-judgemental. From the front desk staff to the hygienist to Dr. Guthrie, this was the best dental experience I've ever had. You're in good hands with James River Family Dentistry."
"I highly recommend JRFD. First thing I noticed scheduling my appointment was reception is very friendly and helpful dealing with my insurance. I have had multiple fillings done by Dr. Guthrie and her assistant Katie. You can tell they work well together, and are true professionals. The multiple visits I have had here were quick and painless procedures, and they seem to be using the most up-to-date dental technology to make things even more efficient. 10/10 – looking forward to my next cavity :)"
"This place is amazing. They have the most relaxing and personable staff. They made everything easy and were great at educating me on what to expect and talking me through every procedure. This will be my dentist for life."
Amazing service! Always welcoming and gentle on my teeth.
I just recently started going here and I love it! Everyone is very welcoming it feels like you aren't going to the dentist which really calmed my nerves going in for a crown. Definitely recommended!
Dr. Guthrie takes the time to listen to my concerns and works her best to resolve any issues — even if they are just cosmetic. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. The office is clean, all of their technology is up to date and they even have a photo booth! I will never go anywhere else. If you live in the RVA area, James River Family Dentistry is the place to go for all your dental needs!
James River family dentistry is a wonderful place. The staff are professional and they make what can be an unpleasant experience rather enjoyable. I highly recommend this practice!
This is by far the most knowledgeable and friendly office I've been to! The office is beautiful and the staff are excellent! 2 thumbs up! 5 stars and a sugar free cookie.
Great staff!! Ally is very thorough and the best hygienist I have ever had. It shows that she has a passion for her work. Dr. Marci is excellent, sincere, and has a great personality. Highly recommended.
My appointments with Dr. Guthrie are always a welcoming and comfortable experience. I, as well as my family, always enjoy coming to the dentist no matter what the service is! The staff is top notch, the office sucks you in as soon as you walk in the door with friendliness and comfort, and Dr. Guthrie herself is not only professional but makes you feel as if you are her only patient. We are part of the James River Family Dentistry family and wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you for taking such great care of us.
The most genuine concern and professionalism that I have ever experienced in not only a health care setting…but in any setting. I speak with some authority as a health care professional myself for over two decades who has had numerous encounters with medical providers. Sure, you could get dental "work" anywhere. But why, when you can receive dental "Care"? I drove over 200 miles for my last appointment just to get the Service that Dr. Guthrie and her team provides. Highly recommended!
Dr. Guthrie is the best! Great office, state of the art equipment, and incredible care. I recently had a dental emergency (well, it was to me) and she stayed very late checking everything out and making sure I had the medication, etc I needed. I've NEVER had any medical professional provide the level of care and concern as did Dr. Guthrie. Five stars aren't enough.
The team at James River Family Dentistry is absolutely amazing!!!! From my very first visit I have always felt very comfortable and relaxed which is not common for most people at the dentist. Dr.Guthrie and her team provide an excellent atmosphere and make you feel like part of the JRFD family. I have always had a clear explanation of what is needed to be done and an effective treatment plan as well. I will never see another dental office again!!!
Dr. Guthrie and the team at James River Family Dentistry are amazing. They make you feel like you are among family. I love Dr. Guthrie, my dentist for 6 years now. She's is extremely competent, trustworthy, and kind. Ally, my hygienist is amazing too, best and most meticulous hygiene care I have ever received. Everyone on the team is excellent. If you are looking for a dental office in Richmond, VA, James River Family Dentistry is the place to go.
I am an old guy and over the course of my lifetime, have dealt with at least a handful of dental offices. Recently the dentist I had used for years retired, so I sought a replacement. James River Family Dentistry was close and convenient, so I gave it a try. I was blown away– everything about my visit was light years ahead of anything I had experienced. The ambiance was friendly and caring, the service was thorough and competent (and pain-free), and the technology was state-of-the-art. I am grateful for the value received. My search for a replacement dental office has ended. When it comes to dental matters, I now choose James River Family Dentistry. I recommend it.
So friendly and caring. They do a quick job on my teeth and make the time pass quickly with their personal touches. A group of wonderful ladies. So professional and clean. Free water and coffee, cute dog, lovely and friendly ladies. My teeth look amazing too!
I was very pleased with my first visit to James River Family Dentistry. Everyone – office staff, hygienist, (Ally) and Dr. Guthrie were very friendly and made me feel very comfortable.
Love everyone here at James River Family Dentistry! Dr. Guthrie is the best dentist I have ever had. Ally is the most meticulous hygienist and really cares about helping keep our teeth healthy. Jessica is always helpful and friendly when making appointments, checking in, or working with our dental insurance.
Very efficient environment! Friendly and personable staff! Service exceeded expectations, to the extent that I expect the best & they excelled past that point.
Love the office … great that they know you by name … always happy when you come in … very welcoming and omg the little blue French bulldog is the cutest and so spoiled!! The office always smell good … every employee is great!! I drive all the way from downtown Richmond which is about 25/30 minutes away and I don't mind at all … they are great!
I was very pleased with my first visit. The staff and Dr. Guthrie made me feel welcome and comfortable. The office was nicely decorated and modern. I'm actually looking forward to my next visit.
Our visit was fantastic! It was my youngest daughter's first visit to the dentist and they couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The front office manager Jessica was also phenomenal as she was the only one of over half a dozen dentist offices that took the time to verify insurance benefits and make sure I wouldn't have any "surprises" with the insurance later.
I have a horrible fear of dentistry. James River / Dr. Guthrie and her staff are undeniably the best in professionalism and compassion. There are no words to describe the relief I feel from finding such a great practice and Dentist. I can honestly say I will be far less nervous the next time I go in.
My experience was wonderful! Everyone was so polite and helpful.They made me feel so comfortable. I walked out knowing I would not go anywhere else for my dental needs…..Thanks, James River Dentistry for being the wonderful people that you are!
Great service friendly service great atmosphere awesome dentist office I been using them 5 years.
The best dentist I've seen. Everyone is professional, thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
James River Dentistry is truly awesome. The entire staff is punctual, fast, courteous, professional, highly skilled and extremely flexible. They always make it look easy to accommodate my crazy schedule. More importantly, everyone there really cares.
I am delighted to have James River Family Dentistry on my team of healthcare professionals. Each member of the team are essentially friends you are thrilled to have the opportunity to catch up with at least twice a year. Their office is cozy and orderly, the music they play is relaxing, and their in-house therapy puppy is just too precious for words. The whole place makes you feel like you have walked into Dr. Marci's home. You are welcomed by Jessica, who not only knows you by name but has the uncanny ability to remember the details of your life (not just for me – I have seen how she interacts with anyone who walks in the door). The hygienists are detail oriented and constantly ensuring your comfort. Dr. Guthrie is friendly and efficient. She always takes time to catch up with you and explain your status yet has a high value around your time. I have heard her on numerous occasions compliment her hygienist on the work they have done (and she usually compliments me on my teeth!). If you are looking to build relationships and trust with your healthcare professionals, this is the place to be!
I would recommend this practice to anyone! The staff is friendly, efficient, and fast. Their office opens at 8am, which is perfect to squeeze in early appointments before heading into work. At my first appointment, I was told that I grind my teeth at night and was recommended a night guard to prevent further enamel damage; I was floored by this, as no other dentist had ever even mentioned this to me! They pay close attention to detail to help benefit their patients any way possible. Dr. Guthrie even called me over a weekend to check in on a filling she had done; I was so taken aback by this extra level of service. They always make you feel comfortable, ask the type of music you prefer to be playing, etc. If you're looking for a quality dental practice (in a super convenient location, no less), I would definitely try them out!
I moved to the area from another state and had to find a local dentist. After looking at reviews for hours, I decided I would give JRFD a try. I was blown away. The staff is so funny, kind, and attentive and I felt more like I was visiting old friends than having dental work done. The hygienists are thorough and SO knowledgeable. They explained everything to me. Dr. Guthrie doesn't just give you a list of things you need done; she individualizes the plan to you and your goals (including your financial ones). This is hands down the most pleasant medical and customer service experience I have ever had. During my dental work, they continually made sure that I felt nothing. Absolutely first class! The office is modern and inviting, and they have an adorable service dog. I also witnessed Dr. Guthrie wearing Minnie Mouse ears and soothing young patients. The staff goes above and beyond. I love this office!!
I had my first visit to James River Family Dentistry last month. Dr. Guthrie and her entire staff welcomed me and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this dental office!
I am a regular patient at James River Family Dentistry and have to admit I feel more like friends with the whole staff than a patient. I always feel comfortable and the atmosphere is so much fun. Makes going to the dentist a good experience….even when I have to get shots, LOL!!! I would definitely recommend Dr. Guthrie and her staff to anyone who is looking for a great dentist with great staff and atmosphere.
Can't say enough about the great people. I hadn't been to a dentist in a while and was embarrassed about my teeth. They never made me feel bad about it and were totally professional, kind, and caring. They took care of all my needs. Other dentists send you to another for one procedure or another. Dr. Guthrie and her crew took care of everything. Definitely satisfied and happy about my smile now.
JRFD has an excellent staff, from the front office to dentist herself, and all in between. They are attentive and on time. In the several years that I have been going to them, I've received a variety of dental services and all delivered with care and focus on my well being. I feel like I am going to visit my friends when I go into the office for services…. it just so happens that they do dental work!
Every one was very patient and pleasant and even let me change my appointment time. Especially Kristen.
This office makes your entire dental experience positive and as pain-free as possible. The entire staff is friendly, courteous and professional. I'm so happy I've found my dental home.
I recommend James River Dentistry to anyone who asks. The staff are great and Dr. Guthrie truly cares about her patients. I always hated going to the dentist in the past. I don't mind going now. Dr. Guthrie has made it so much easier. Her practice is like one big family. You can feel the love and concern for each other and the patients as soon as you open the door.
Terrific Dental Team. Whenever I have had a possible dental emergency, they have always scheduled me in to be seen that day! Excellent oral health care provided – from the regular 6-month check-ups to restorative dental procedures. Dr. Marci and the team are the best!!!!
I had my first visit to James River Family Dentistry yesterday and I was quite surprised by how great it was. Everyone there was incredibly nice, thoughtful and caring. Everything was explained to me in understandable terms and my questions were willingly answered and with a smile. Absolutely fantastic first appointment and I am so much more comfortable with going back. Thank you to the entire staff at JRFD. They far exceeded my expectations.
This was my first visit. Staff and dentist were very nice and explained everything. They know the meaning of service with a smile. Thank you for making my more to a new dentist pleasant.
Courteous, timely, appropriate, capable dental care. Couldn't be happier with my treatment over these several years.
Wonderful, as always! Quick and considerate – the whole process was under ten minutes. I appreciate the offer to come in earlier than my scheduled appointment time. I'm grateful that you all are flexible and care so much about your clients. Thank you!
The best dentistry I have ever had the fortune to go to. I am disappointed that I have to find a new dentist now that I've moved out of state. I wish they had clones that worked all over the country! Little to no waiting time for an appointment. Everyone is so happy and nice. Such a pleasant environment with a little dog! I loved this place and will miss it dearly. Thank you for being such an awesome place to get my teeth worked on.
The best dentist anywhere. Period. Totally professional, but at the same time comfortable and welcoming like a good friend or a favorite relative. If I EVER hear that someone I know needs a dentist, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Marci.
I can't even begin to describe how wonderful this place is. I always feel like I'm hanging out with friends who also happen to like cleaning my teeth. Every person in the office is beyond friendly, patient, and knowledgable. They remember tiny details about me that came up in conversations over a year ago. I'm so glad I found them. Even after moving farther away, I make the trip to continue coming to JRFD.

Graceful in flight but skulky and retiring in habit, the Black-billed Cuckoo is among North America's most elusive birds. It is frequently confused with the more common Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus), with which it shares similarities in plumage, behavior, and vocalizations. Although both species occur sympatrically through much of their ranges, the Black-billed Cuckoo has the more northerly distribution. In addition, Black-billed Cuckoo is more closely associated with densely wooded habitat and occurs more frequently within coniferous vegetation.
The Black-billed Cuckoo is rarely seen during migration and on overwintering grounds in South America due to its silent and secretive manner. As a result, its nonbreeding distribution remains poorly defined. In North America, it is among the later migrants to return each spring; arrival on breeding grounds is announced by its staccato, repetitive call— cu-cu-cu cu-cu-cu —uttered as individuals fly overhead on late spring evenings. Vocal night flights increase as breeding commences. These flights, in concert with its quiet, sluggish behavior during the day, have led some ornithologists in the past to suggest that the Black-billed Cuckoo is partially nocturnal in summer.
Like other cuckoos, the Black-billed Cuckoo exhibits unusual breeding behavior. The onset of nesting is apparently correlated with insect outbreaks, particularly those of caterpillars and cicadas. Furthermore, localized food abundance has been linked to increased clutch size and nesting success and to the frequency of brood parasitism. The young are robust among altricial birds. Shiny, black nestlings hatch following a brief 11-day incubation period. Within 3 hours of hatching, they can raise themselves onto twigs, using their feet and bills. They mature rapidly, and at 6 days of age resemble porcupines, with their long, pointed feather sheaths. Just prior to the young leaving the nest on the following day, the sheaths burst and the chick becomes fully feathered, a process once likened to the commotion in a corn popper. The agile, young cuckoos are capable of hopping and climbing rapidly through the vegetation. When threatened, they assume a bizarre defensive posture—necks outstretched, bills pointed straight up, eyes wide open—that resembles the erect pose employed by American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus) chicks.
The Black-billed Cuckoo is a notorious consumer of caterpillars, with a demonstrated preference for noxious species, including the Eastern Tent Caterpillar (Malacosoma americanum), Fall Webworm (Hyphantria cunea), and larvae of the Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar). Observations of individuals consuming 10–15 caterpillars per minute are testimony to the great service this species provides in forests, farms, and orchards. Stomach contents of individual cuckoos may contain more than 100 large caterpillars or several hundred of the smaller species. The bristly spines of hairy caterpillars pierce the cuckoo's stomach lining giving it a furry coating. When the mass obstructs digestion, the entire stomach lining is sloughed off and is regurgitated as a pellet.
The Black-billed Cuckoo was formerly much more common in North America. Populations have declined across its range throughout the twentieth century, with particularly severe decreases in the 1980s and 1990s. Accounts from naturalists in the late 1800s speak of flocks of cuckoos descending on caterpillar-laden trees and not departing until every insect was consumed. Caterpillar irruptions still occur, but since they have been controlled by pesticide use, cuckoos are rarely seen more than singly. It is likely that pesticides, and the concomitant reduction of prey availability, have caused Black-billed Cuckoo mortality and reduced breeding success, but these effects have never been quantified.
Few aspects of Black-billed Cuckoo life history have been adequately studied. Typical breeding and nestling behavior has been described by Spencer (1) and Sealy (2). In addition, some anomalous breeding behaviors, such as brood parasitism and resource-dependent clutch sizes, have been examined by Nolan and Thompson (3), Sealy (4, 5) and Stewart (6). Many workers have observed an association between local cuckoo abundance and insect irruptions (e.g., 7, 8, 9, 10), and detailed examinations of stomach contents have been made (11, 12, 13). However, no comprehensive studies of the effects of resource availability on Black-billed Cuckoo abundance, distribution, or fecundity have been performed.

The following document describes how to process ZY3 satellite imagery to create a Pan-sharpened Image. The workflow is comprised of 6 main procedures:
- Stitch Panchromatic and Multispectral Images (Optional)
- Panchromatic GCP/TP collection
- GCP collection – using Google Earth
- Automatic Tie Point collection
- Panchromatic Orthorectification
- Mosaic Orthorectified Panchromatic Images
- Multispectral GCP/TP collection
- GCP collection - using Mosaic Orthorectified Panchromatic image as reference
- Orthorectify Multispectral Images
- Multispectral Orthorectification
- Mosaic Orthorectified Multispectral Images
- Pan-sharpen imagery
The result of the following workflow is a seamless Pan-sharpened ZY3 mosaic.
Stitch Panchromatic and Multispectral Images
This step is optional. Stitching can only be performed using scenes acquired on the same path and same day. This process eliminates mosaicking and generates a long continuous strip which reduces the number of GCPs required.
- Create a new OrthoEngine project as seen below.
- When the projection window appears click Cancel.
- Open the Stitch Image Tiles with RPC tool located in the tools tab.
- Select OTHERS in Satellite.
- Input each xml file from the Panchromatic image folders for the images in the same flight path and in sequential order
- For image folder zy301a_nad_032074_016116_20171018110726_01_sec_0001_1710191646 the user only needs to import the xml file as there are no other images in the flight path. Select the Data Input Processing step and click on the Open Images button , add xml file.
- When completed, the Project Overview window should be similar to the image below.
- Save and close the project
- Start a new project and follow the same steps for the multispectral imagery.
Panchromatic GCP/TP Collection
Google Earth will be used as the reference image for the GCP collection. A GCP should be captured in each of the image's corners and inside the image (such as near the centre of the image).
- Open the Panchromatic project, select GCP/TP Collection.
- Open the manual GCP tool
- In the GCP tool specify the DEM and check Compute Model
- To collect coordinates from Google Earth:
- Open working image in Focus
- Locate potential GCP collection sites and place cursor on location
- Select the File tab and Export to Google Earth
- Find the same location in Google Earth
- Select Add Placemark and choose the location to obtain the coordiantes As seen in the image below
- Enter the coordinate information into the GCP collection window and select Extract Elevation.
- Although the cursor will automatically orient to the input location in the GCP image viewer, the user will should adjust the placement to ensure it is on the same spot.
- As GCPs are collected the Residual values will be computed for accuracy. GCP's with residuals greater than 1 pixel need to be reassessed and checked. This can be done by selecting on the Point ID table in the GCP collection window which will display the location of the GCP point.
- Once a sufficient number of GCP's have been collected with low residual values close the GCP collection window and save your project.
- Open the automatic tie point collection tool
- In the TP Collection tool, specify the following parameters:
- Distribution Pattern: Overlap
- TPs per area: 100
- Sample Source Method: SUSAN
- Click collect tie points.
- Once Automatic Tie Point Collection has been completed close the window and open the residual report . If the values are red then click the compute model button.
- If TP's collected have residuals above 1 pixel then remove them from the model.
- Once the residual values are below 1 then save the project and close the residual report.
Panchromatic Orthorectification
- In the Processing step menu, select Ortho Generation.
- Open the Ortho tool
- In the Ortho tool:
Select all the images to process
Specify an output folder
Select a DEM
Click Generate Orthos
- Save the project
Mosaic Ortho Panchromatic Images
- Choose the Mosaic Processing step and select Define the Mosaic output
- Create the Mosaic file
- Select Automatic mosaicking step
- Select Generate Mosaic
- Save and close project.
Multispectral GCP Collection
- Open the Multispectral Project created in the Stitching step.
- In the processing step menu, select GCP/TP Collection.
- Open the automatic GCP tool
- In the GCP tool specify the following:
- Specify the Mosaic panchromatic image as the reference
- Specify the DEM
- Check Stereo GCP
- Keep all settings as default
- Click Match GCPs
- Click Add GCPs to Project
- Close the automatic GCP tool and open the residual report.
- As the Multispectral mosaic contain a lower resolution than the Panchromatic any error inherent in the GCPs will be 3 times greater. As a result, all GCPs that contain residual values greater than 0.3 need to be removed.
- Now is a good time to save the project.
Multispectral Orthorectification
- In the Processing step menu, select Ortho Generation.
- Open the Ortho tool
- In the Ortho tool:
- Select all the images to process
- Specify an output folder
- Select a DEM
- Click Generate Orthos
- Save the project
Mosaic Orthorectified Multispectral Images
Create a seamless mosaic of the Ortho Multispectral images.
- Choose the Mosaic Processing step and select Define the Mosaic output
- Create the Mosaic file
- Select Automatic mosaicking step
- Select Generate Mosaic
- Save and close project.
Pan-sharpen Mosaic Images
The next step is the pan-sharpening of the MS and Pan mosaics.
- In Focus, go to the Tools menu, and select Algorithm Librarian to open the Algorithm Librarian.
- Click on Find to open the search panel.
- In the search panel, type PANSHARP2 and click on find.
- Double-click on the PANSHARP2 tool to open.
- Browse and open both Panchromatic and Multispectral mosaics.
- In the multispectral image input, specify all bands.
- In the reference image input, specify all bands.
- In the panchromatic input, specify the panchromatic band.
- In the output, specify an output file.
- Click Run.
- To test the accuracy of the Pan Sharpened image, zoom to the town located in the red square.
- Viewing the buildings at 1:1 Resolution.
- If the roof colors are bleeding as seen in the image below than the GCPs of the Multispectral imagery need to be reassessed and refined.
- Correct PanSharp results.

When Martin Cooper talks, tech people listen. After all, in 1973, Cooper invented the first cell phone small enough to use outside a car, forever changing the way the world lives and works. But today, some think this wry, lively elder statesman, now 75, is working to undermine the very mobile behemoths he helped create. That's because he's the founder and chairman of ArrayComm, a San Jose, California, company that has radically redesigned the antennae that send cellular signals to handsets it may be a better product, but it's also a threat to some hundreds of billions of dollars invested...

Sumerian text records that with the arrival of the Sons of Annu in the Valley between the two rivers, the very first object that was brought with them were two or more tablets of a shiny bronze like appearance that held immense power and knowledge. These tablets were fought over, lost, hidden, and stolen many times through-out the early history of mankind. The knowledge that they held was often turned to in times where the fate of the Sons of Annu was to be determined.
From the earliest of recorded text the Tablets of Destiny, were involved in the wars and conflicts of the Annu. With the possession of the Tablets of Destiny your military prowess was increased, and this fact often brought victory to the holder. The first recorded text involves the Creation Account which tells of a Great God Kingu who possessed the tablets to enhance his chances for victory. He received these tablets from the ancient goddess Tiamat. His wife.Tiamat was the original owner of the tablets, and by giving these tablets to Kingu, it would allow him to defeat the other Great Gods. This did not occur. Kingu was later defeated, and the tablets were turned over to the Great God who defeated him. In Babylon text this Great God is Marduk.
Later texts also speak of a God named "Zu" which is probably not his real name, but this God steals the tablets from Enlil, the true owner, and what results is one of the most well known Sumerian texts. Zu is finally defeated, after a long and protracted battle, and again the tablets are the centre of the war. Even Ishtar makes an attempt to steal the tablets, but when negotiation fails, overt action is needed to return the tablets to Enki, who happened to be the owner at that time.
The tablets though were not from the valley of Sumer, and may not have originated from earth, but they have always been apart of the earth and mankind. What do they look like? In the Sumerin creation tablets it clearly speaks of the Tablets being given to Kingu by Tiamat, and "fastened it to his breast". Then after the fearsome battle with Marduk, "Marduk took the tablets of Destiny…and sealed it and place it on his breast". So the Tablets of Destiny are on the breast of Marduk.
From the ancient image of Marduk the Tablets of Destiny are clearly seen. Placed around his neck on his breast. His heavily designed overcoat and hat shows the motifs of the Tablets of Destiny. All this points to the fact that having ownership of the Tablets gives the owner a position of considerable power and importance.
The Egyptians in their mythology also had a similar tablet of great wisdom and power. This was known as the Book of Toth. Toth was the Egyptian God of Wisdom and as Egyptian text states he wrote in this book, all the magic of the world.
"Toth wrote the Book with his own hand, and in it is all the magic in the world. If thou readest the first page, thou wilt enchant the sky, the earth, the abyss, the mountains, and the sea; thou wilt understand the language of the birds of the air, and thou wilt know what the creeping things of earth are saying, and thou wilt see the fishes from the darkest depths of the sea. And if thou readest the other page, even though thou wert dead and in the world of ghosts, thou couldest come back to earth in the form thou once hadst. And besides this, thou wilt see the sun shining in the sky with the full moon and the stars, and thou wilt behold the great shapes of the gods."

Mug Club Changes As Of February 27th, 2017
We recently received a PLCB Clarification letter on Act 39 legislation. This information confirmed Mug Clubs are now legal and allows us to give direct discounts to our Muggers.
For the past 2 years our Brewmaster Artie Tafoya has worked with the Brewers of PA, the PA Restaurant Association, and many PA Senators and Representatives to get Mug Club legislation passed. Although it wasn't perfect, we are now able to revive some of the benefits that were removed due to past PLCB scrutiny.
PA Act 39 allows retail licensees and breweries to offer a mug club to their patrons and defined a "mug club" as a group organized by a retail licensee or a brewery whose members are entitled to discounted malt or brewed beverages. Membership in the mug club shall be by written application, and the licensee must maintain a written list of active members as part of its records.
Here are the changes we are making to our mug club due to the recent legislative changes:
- There will no longer be a $.25 charge on Mug Club Beers! We are now allowed to offer you the Mug Club beer amount at the regular Pint price.

Daily chart: it seems that we may soon see a full-scale correction in the direction of the middle Bollinger band (121.16)
Н4: Divergence of oscillator also speaks for South. Suppoert in the area of the bottom Bollinger band (123.37) can create a bounce, but anyway bears will continue to develop their success.
Н1: even a better shaped support in the area of "round level" 124.00
Expectations: decline to 124.00 and then to 123.37
Trading decisions:
1)We sell on upward bounces (perhaps, from 124.50) to targets 124.00 and 123.37
