Discover Eagle Pass
Located on the Rio Grande River, Eagle Pass is a city with many classic Texas food options like BBQ and contemporary American. House-smoked baby back ribs with sides of loaded baked potatoes and freshly made coleslaw is up for the taking in casual restaurants. Dining out in down-home country diners would not be complete without some a dessert like peach crisp topped with vanilla ice cream or a hot fudge cake sundae with vanilla ice cream, homemade hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped nuts, and a cherry on top. Surprisingly, Mexican is not the most popular cuisine in this community. In fact, barbecue and seafood joints lure patrons with dishes like grilled shrimp kabobs, Maine lobster, mussels, and clams.

Monday, April 13, 2009
I have been sick and in a lot of pain now for almost two weeks, so the MesoAmerica director and I decided I needed to go to the doctor. The doctor that works closely with our school and insurance was working in the Emergancy Room today, so I made the trip downtown to the ER. I was very nervous because for one I don't like hospitals/needles and I also wasn't sure how much English would be spoken. I was greeted at the front desk and all of the paper work had been taken care of by the insurance company beforehand which made it easy. I waited for about 20 minutes, the nurse checked me out, then I waited for another 45 minutes to see the doctor. I had some tests taken and need to go back tomorrow to discuss the results. I was very impressed with how much English was spoken and hope that in the hospitals in the US equally as much Spanish is spoken. It's scary to walk into a hospital, sick and not knowing if the doctor will understand what's wrong. My director told the doctor that I understood and spoke Spanish, so it was mostly a Spanish visit; which was fine - it's always good to practice. Since Costa Rica is rivaling third world status I didn't have high hopes for the health care and hospital, but it seemed as nice as any in the United States and the service certainly was a lot faster.

As a world-class city, Shanghai has entertainment of almost any category. As the city’s landscape changes, thanks to the extensive construction projects, it also adds more and more venues of entertainment for visitors and residents alike. Along with its economic progress, the city’s vibrant rebirth in its arts and entertainment scene are progressing rapidly.
Shanghai is currently experiencing a surge in interest in modern and classical art. Art galleries are proliferating throughout the city. The Chinese artists are incredible in their creativity and detailed expressions. Keep in mind, though, that any imported art is likely to be overpriced. Shanghai does not have a large number of museums. However, the ones that exist are definitely worth visiting for their varied and interesting collections. Some of these are the Doland Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Shanghai Museum, among others.
Shanghai’s many large movie theaters screen both Chinese and Hollywood movies. The number of Hollywood films being shown is slowly increasing as China liberalizes the market to meet WTO standards, however you may still find that Hollywood films may be cut or altered (some studios are producing versions solely for the Chinese market) to keep sensors happy. But this is supposed to change during 2011, because China has to liberalize the market to fulfill the WTO standards. In spite of the fact that anyone can buy a pirated DVD of just about any movie, there are still many people who thoroughly enjoy the experience of the wide screen and surround sound. There are many theaters that offer supreme seating comfort and great popcorn.
There is theatre, ballet, Chinese opera and live music playing at a wide variety of the city’s venues to suit every taste. Jazz is very popular in Shanghai. You will always see visiting musicians playing alongside Chinese enthusiasts. In addition, many of the clubs switch from jazz to rock on different nights. There are also plenty of venues for classical and chamber music, as well as a huge selection of clubs for hip-hop and rock-and-roll dancing.
And don’t forget the restaurants; eating out is one of the favorite pastimes for locals and foreigners alike. You can enjoy the huge variety of the different Chinese provincial cuisines, from the refinement of Cantonese dishes to the spicy-as-hell Sichuan food. The international restaurants also have their space in a metropolis such as Shanghai, with a bunch of front row chefs that make the city a paradise for gourmets. And, as a bonus, it’s much less expense than in any western city.
Shanghai never sleeps. When the sun goes down, the city has an energy of its own that offers the most frenetic and colorful nightlife in Asia. If it’s happening in Asia, it’s happening in Shanghai.

text: Crop reflectance sensors have been used to assess nitrogen (N) status in many crops. The SPAD chlorophyll meter and the GreenSeeker® sensor have been studied extensively to determine their ability to detect crop N status and predict crop N requirement. Mepiquat chloride (MC) is routinely used in cotton to manage vegetative growth. Pigment concentration often increases following application of MC and could confound results from GreenSeeker readings used to adjust N application. A field experiment was conducted in Georgia and North Carolina to determine the effect of MC on SPAD meter and GreenSeeker sensor readings. Treatments consisted of a factorial arrangement of multiple N and MC rates. Nitrogen was applied at the initial appearance of squares followed by MC application 14 to 21 d later. SPAD meter and GreenSeeker sensor readings were taken for 10 consecutive weeks beginning immediately before N application. The SPAD meter proved to be sensitive to MC and N, but was not associated with lint yield. The GreenSeeker sensor was sensitive to N, but not sensitive to MC. Furthermore, normalized difference vegetative index and lint yield responded similarly to N, suggesting that GreenSeeker might be a useful tool in assessing plant N status and predicting crop N requirement.

Unfortunately, the half-coherent old sailor Kurht interrogated gave him innaccurate directions and our hero found himself imprisoned in the Bastille. Though it is known that no one escapes from the Bastille, Cap'n Kurht (as he has become known these days) trained with the best escape artists in the world when he was bored on a three-day weekend and quickly freed himself of his shackles and, dispatching of several snooty frenchmen and a mime, continued on his search. He once again found himself hot on the trail of the elusive man on the mountain after a tip from a sheep hearder who's flock lay in the oasis hidden in the arid hell of the Sahara led him to a one-legged, former member of the KGB who claimed to know of the location and where "the bodies were buried." Sadly, the KGB agent was struck dead by the hoof of an errant cow before he could divulge the informantion that our dear Cap'n so desperately needed. Though dead, the KGB agent still had much to tell. Kurht was a master frisker and discovered a cartograph hidden in the hollowed out stump which passed for the wretched man's leg.
Using the map, Kurht found a treasure ship hidden in a cave and was forced to eliminate a rag-tag team of children and a gang of thugs who were also vying for the treasure, as well as a hideous creature who cried, "You have killed Sloth!!!!" before breathing his last as Kurht's dagger sunk into his burly chest. After feasting upon the remains, Kurht then searched the ship, finding not only riches beyond his wildest dreams but also a manuscript describing a journey to the far ends of the earth. After pouring over the exciting tome for several hours, Kurht turned to page 376 and found what he had been looking for for what seemed to be a lifetime.
Investing his riches in the Beta video format, Kurht charted a plane to the mysterious location of the man on the mountain. Parachuting at the base, and climbing up, Kurht had to dispatch of several Yettis before reaching the hallowed temple of the man.Entering through an old moaning door, Kurht found himself in the most beautiful room he had ever seen. After several moments of taking the room in, Kurht suddenly realized a man was sitting across from him on a jewel-encrusted throne in far reaches of the vast temple. Walking to him, the man asked, "What do you want of me?"
Kurht answered, "Sir, I have traveled the world and done many great deeds in search of you and I have come hear only to ask one question: What, oh great wise one, is the meaning of life?"
The man answered, "If you can defeat me in hand to hand combat, I will tell you." With that, the man flung himself at Kurht with a flurry of kicks and jabs and the most glorious battle the world has ever seen ensued. After many days of bloody and vicious bare-knuckle brawling, Kurht finally gained the upper hand, using a technique he once learned when babysitting for the third top box-office seller in the nation. After submitting, the decrepit old man divulged his secret and Kurht left, triumphant, determined to share his new found wisdom with others.
Flashforward several years, and we find our hero has decided that becoming a teacher at the prestigious Clay High School under the command of general P-Mac was the best way to share the life- shattering utterances of the wise old man. It was there that he passed down this story to me, and now I share it with you. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...
The Basket Story
So there was this lady with a basket full of money, living in Germany in between World War I and World War II. She decided to purchase a loaf of bread and so she entered the bakery and, taking an armload of money, left the basket on the stoop. When she returned, she discovered that someone had dumped out the money and taken the basket because the basket was worth more than the money. You see, at that time in Germany, the exchange rate was 4.1 billion marks to the dollar. Now that's a bad economy.
You can obviously see the great importance of this story. I implore you to share it with everyone you know. Enrich their lives with this story as I have enriched yours and how our hero, Mr. Kurht, has enriched mine. Go now! Spread the word!

Reading the review prior to reading the book, I wasn’t sure that I would like the plot line. I was wrong. The author did a great job with this subject and wrote a very good story. I finished this in two evenings and was left wanting the story to continue. The ending was a little abrupt and not what I fully expected, but it worked well.
This book is truly now in my top five reads! I love the characters and the plot, the fact that it is also during world war two just made it that much more better. The story historically is great never did I think that It would be this close to correct. I would recommend this book a hundred times over. Well done Miss Denise Deems!

On September 18, 2015, the U.S. House of Representatives voted for two prolife bills. One piece of legislation entitled the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015 would defund Planned Parenthood for a year. Planned Parenthood is America’s leading abortion provider and is being investigated by Congress for their role in the practice of trafficking in the body parts of aborted children.
The Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015 passed by a vote of 241-187 with 239 Republicans and two Democrats supporting the measure.
The House also voted 248-177 in favor of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This bill would “require any health care practitioner who is present when a child is born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion to: (1) exercise the same degree of care as reasonably provided to any other child born alive at the same gestational age, and (2) ensure that such child is immediately admitted to a hospital.”
This bill passed with the support of 243 Republicans and 5 Democrats.

Respectful Work Place
We have zero tolerance for any kind of abuse. Abuse of medical center’s staff, patients, physicians and all other members of the clinic or vandalism will not be tolerated. Abuse can take many forms including but not limited to intimidation, condescending or patronizing language, impatience, refusal/reluctance to answer questions, giving misleading information and manipulation. Incidents will be recorded and reported to the appropriate personnel. We will take corrective actions, if needed, up to and including termination of patient status/employment, involving peace keepers or permission to remain on the property, based on the severity of the incident.
When you book your appointment please inform the staff the reason of the visit as it helps us to plan and arrange the schedule accordingly. Please try to focus on your main concern or problem during your visit. Most of the appointments are only 15 minutes long as we want to accommodate and adequately serve all patients that require our attention on the given day. Our doctors do their best to handle all your medical concerns efficiently; however, certain complaints require follow up appointments. Please be prepared to return for follow up appointments at your doctor’s medical discretion. Your doctor, in your visit, will focus on your main concern and if necessary discuss plans for any other medical issues in future visits. Please understand, when you focus on your main concern it also helps the clinic better manage patient flow and appointments. We, as staff, try our best to keep wait times as minimal as possible. Nobody likes to wait for a long period of time to see their doctor but if everyone comes with a “list” it inevitably leads to long delays.
Patient Check-In Forms
We have forms for the patients to fill prior to their check in, especially if it’s the very first visit. These forms ask for your name, DOB, address, contact number, health card details etc. They are confidential and shredded after the visit
In order to provide quality care, medication refills must be addressed at the time of your appointment. Unless it is an emergency, appointments should be made for refills two weeks in advance of your prescription running out. The Garden Medical Center has a “No Phone/Fax Prescription Renewal Policy”. We do not refill narcotics/controlled medications and would recommend you get them refilled with the providers who initially prescribed them.
Provincial health insurance doesn’t cover all services. Uninsured services include but not limited to: Notes and forms for school/work, Travel health, Sports Medicals; Employment Medicals; Driver’s Medicals; Insurance companies Forms; Medical Letters; some minor office procedures; some vaccinations and TB skin testing, Chart Transfers; Chart Copies, etc. Patient is responsible for informing the front staff of any such services and for their payment before the office visit. Some forms may not be filled on the same day of your visit and you will be advised when to come pick them. Please make sure you have filled in the sections that are “to be filled in by the applicant”. If we do not have enough information on your condition to make judgement about your ability to work, we may request a Specialist’s opinion.
If you need to cancel your appointment we ask that you give 24 hours notice so we may give another patient the opportunity to be seen. We also understand that emergencies do come up, please contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel or will be late.
No Show Fees
If you cannot come to your appointment you must give the clinic 24 hours notice to avoid getting a “No Show Fee”. Three or more no shows may be grounds for dismissal, at the discretion of your physician.
We believe in imparting knowledge and skills to others. We may participate in training or educating young doctors. Hence we may be with medical students/residents/nurses/nurse practitioners in training during your clinic visit. They all are members of our health care system and are supervised appropriately.
You may be seen by another colleague physician if your primary care provider is away due to sickness or on vacation or for continuing medical education. We all are very collegial and compassionate with all the patients and hence your care will be in good caring hands. Your medical history, past and current, is on the electronic medical record and hence the other physician will be well aware of your health concerns.
Past Medical Record
It’s immensely helpful to obtain copies of your past medical records, especially if you have any significant medical issue/s. This can be done by completing an “authorization to release information” form at the front desk. The front desk staff will then send the form to your previous doctor(s) and/or hospital(s) to request the information. Sometimes your previous doctor(s) and/or hospital(s) charge an administrative fee to you for this service. You are responsible for paying this fee. However, this information is very important for your medical care.

A plan to provide jobs for the homeless is gaining support in the city of chico.
Action news now reporter amy lanski talked to homeless people about whether they'd use this program as an alternative to panhandling.
I talked to dozens of homeless people downtown... most didn't want to go on camera... but all said they think this plan is a great idea.
John shaw- u.s. veteran - now homeless "an idle mind is the devil's play palace.
As long as someone is working and they are getting paid to do it and they like to work... then yeah."
John shaw is a veteran who has been homeless for years.
"i rely on social security, that is enough to get me by, well if i can find afforable living."
Shaw is almost 80 years old and says he thinks the program would be a great way to help people get off the streets and get some money in their pockets.
He's not the only one.
Patrick goreman - "i think it is a wonderful idea, i would like to get involved with it, and be a part of that structure."
Patrick goreman said it's not only physically exhausting being homeless... but mentally.
"you feel so lost because you have no place to go, thank god for the churches around here, you can go to the churches and pray to mother mary."
Goreman says he supports the idea because it'll give people something to do.
"nobody likes to just sit around and do nothing and watch the time go by.
Time goes by whether you are working or not, so rather be working and doing something and providing yourself and your commmunity things to do, a livlihood.
You can't just sit on the sidewalk and wait for the world to take care of you.
You have to get up and move."" # councilman scott huber says he hopes this program will help homeless who have had trouble finding jobs..
He says it can help them get started.

Councilmember scott huber said chico mayor randall stone has approved forming a committee to discuss the issue -- it will be agendized at a future city council meeting.#

A printable corkscrew with a classic look.
It is currently untested so I am very curious to find out if it can work. There is no question that it will break eventually :)
Download the Corkscrew1.STL file and print it.
Optional - Printing strategy:
If you have a filament deposit printer like me (Ultimaker) this tall and slender print will rely on you having correct layer cooling time and temperature settings. I used a 5 second layer cooling time for 1.2 mm wall thickness at 0.2 mm layer thickness. When the printer reached the shaft I dropped the print temp 20 C manually.
I am not so sure that a higher layer cooling time will be beneficial but dropping the layer thickness to 0.1 mm would probably give a better result, it would however probably double the time required to print the corkscrew.
Please comment if you try it, we want to know the results!

On the technology calendar, Fall is punctuated by the annual iPhone product announcements from Apple which in turn kick-starts the industry push into the holiday season. If your cell phone is out of date, or up for contract renewal, here are some new products to consider.
Xs, Xs Max, Xr iPhones
Launched last month in their annual presentation, Apple has built on the revolutionary features of the iPhone X into the newest additions to their range. The Xs is their flagship cellphone which builds on the features of the 2017 iPhone X. The Xs Max has the largest screen and battery life of any iPhone to date, while the Xr (pre-ordering starts October 19th) has some of the features of the iPhone X and Xs in a more economical package. The new Apple Watch Series 4 also has an array of health and exercise functionality plus (depending on the model) the ability to receive and make calls, just like Dick Tracy. Info: apple.com.
Galaxy S9 & Note 9
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Note 9 phones, Tab Tablet and Galaxy Watch are all designed to keep Samsung as the primary alternative to the Apple eco-system utilizing the Android operating system from Google. While industry and consumers wait for next year’s Galaxy S10 phone, which will be rumored to have all kinds of special features, the latest release to hold consumer interest is the larger Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Featuring an integral stylus as a tool reminds us of the Palm Pilots and Psion handheld computers of yesteryear. However, it being integral to the device makes it useful and convenient. Info: samsung.com.
With the LG V40 due for release this month, the Samsung Galaxy S9 challenger using the Android operating system is LG’s G7 ThinQ. The key selling point for the G7 is that it is reliable, middle-of-the-road and for the budget-conscious consumer a solid purchase. Info: lg.com.
Launched last month at the London Design Festival, Swiss-based company Punkt launched the second version of their anti-smartphone—the MP02. Featuring a minimalist design centered on making telephone calls and basic functionality such as 4G LTE connectivity, an address book and text messaging, the MP02 adds hotspot connectivity so that you can use the phone to access the web through another device—making it a choice rather than a reflex through an app. Battery life is excellent due to its simplicity and built-in quality is what you would expect from a Swiss-engineered device. Info: punkt.ch.
Concerned about your data falling into the wrong hands? For the ultimate in 2018 cellphone security try the Swiss-Israeli Sirin Labs android-based smartphone called Solarin. The phone also supports 24 LTE Bands and has 802.11ag gigabit Wi-Fi capability. The catch? The price point of $14,000. Take heart: Sirin Labs will be launching the Finney—a blockchain-based phone for $999. Info: solarin.com.


In today’s unsettled economy, contractors nationwide are looking for ways to cost cuts without sacrificing service. Their customers are willing to shop around for price, but they won’t settle for less than professional grade performance.
Alas-Co General Construction Co, Inc., an Anchorage-based insulation services company, keeps their fleet of foam insulation trucks moving year-round, servicing a broad range of commercial and residential customers. However, the company knew that dispatching their large trucks to smaller insulation projects was uneconomical and costing the company money. They needed to find a cost-effective solution for spray foaming crawl spaces and other small to mid-sized areas.
Stewart Miller, shop foreman at Alas-Co, estimates the cost of dispatching one of the company’s spray foam trucks runs about $500 – and the meter starts ticking before the truck even reaches the job site. “Our trucks carry huge diesel generators and air compressors and they need to heat up for 30 minutes prior to use,” says Miller. “So, when our local distributor told me they had a new, portable spray foam insulation system in stock, the CPDS from Touch ‘n Foam, I jumped at the chance to check it out. We purchased the unit and we now use the CPDS almost every day.”
The Touch n’ Foam Constant Pressure Dispensing System (CPDS) is a self-contained, portable spray foam system that dispenses Class I fire retardant, thermal insulating and sound attenuating 2-component polyurethane spray foam – and does so at twice as speed of foam kits. Using an adjustable constant delivery rate, the CPDS operator can apply spray foam to horizontal or vertical surfaces. Hoses up to 150’ long allow for jobsite portability and versatility. No chemical calibration is required. With an empty weight of less than 155 lbs. and a 24” x 33” footprint, the CPDS fits in the back of a standard pick-up truck and easily navigates through standard doorways and entrances.
“The CPDS is extremely easy to transport and not having to use our big trucks on small projects has saved us a substantial amount of money,” says Miller. “Plus, the unit is easy to set-up and very user-friendly.”
Touch ‘n Seal foams contain no CFCs and are International Residential Code Compliant. “The CPDS is an economical way to enter or expand your spray foam business,” says Michael Sites, Touch ‘n Seal Marketing Manager. “It’s an ideal solution for any contractor looking for a low investment cost with a high rate of return.”

Edgar G. Babineau
Memories of Edgar G. Babineau, Transportation Section, by his niece Diane M. Dell’Omo.
My Memories of Edgar G. Babineau
Uncle Edgar was my mother’s brother. He never spoke to me about his experiences during World War II other than to say that he was in the Army Air Corps and served in North Africa and Europe with the 79th Fighter Group. I do recall that he, and his wife Alice, attended several reunions of that unit.
Upon returning from the War, he was employed at the S.D. Warren Paper Company where he worked for over 40 years. I recall that he was very much “a union man” and was instrumental in the establishment and organization of the unionization of the workers in the paper factory. Moreover, having attended the Seminary prior to enlisting, he was a deeply religious man and was a lifelong member of the Knights of Columbus in his church, St. Jean the Baptiste.
Uncle Edgar was bi-lingual and could read, write, and speak French. In the 1970’s he became interested in expanding his knowledge of his family history. He became a member of the Franco-American Genealogical Society and made several trips back to Restigouche, Canada where the family had immigrated from early in the 20th century. In addition to doing extensive in person research at the libraries and government document centers, he attended numerous “Babineau Family” reunions and was able to hear the stories of his ancestors and relatives. We are all fortunate that he made copies of many important documents and wrote much of the anecdotal information down. All of it has been passed to his children and extended family.
He died in 1995 but his work and his legacy are still alive and well.

Labrador Gold Corp. (TSXV: LAB) reported today that it is adding a second diamond drill rig at its Kingsway project, which is located within the Gander Gold district and along strike from New Found Gold’s Queensway project.
The company said that the second drill rig is currently drilling the Big Vein, which is expected to increase the production of drill cores on site after a slow start due to poor ground conditions. Gold mineralization observed at the Big Vein includes six occurrences of visible gold across 400 metres and assays of samples ranging from 1.87 g/t to 1,065 g/t gold.
Labrador Gold also relayed that its recently completed financing will enable the company to double the drilling program along the quartz vein corridor. The company has also increased planned drilling from 10,000 metres to 20,000 metres, with the expansion to test targets in the corridor located along strike to the northeast and southwest of Big Vein.
Labrador Gold Corp. last traded at $0.77 on the TSX Venture.

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies left-handed reliever J.C. Romero will have surgery Wednesday to repair the flexor tendon in his left forearm and needs five to six months to recover.
Romero went 0-0 with a 2.70 ERA in 21 games for the NL East champions. He earned two wins in Philadelphia's World Series victory over Tampa Bay last year.
He served a 50-game suspension this season for testing positive for a banned substance. He was suspended after testing positive for androstenedione, a substance that Mark McGwire used in the 1990s that was later banned by baseball.
The Phillies host the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday in the opener of their best-of-five division series.

There is a point to this little story. A few days ago after a day in front of the computer I went for a short walk, to a disused Railway station a few miles away. There is a small cafeteria there and I get on well with the owner.
So while enjoying a quick cup of tea, two young guys appeared who were probably just still at school or about to become students. One of them had a Pentax D SLR camera, and was enthusiastically talking about photographing the old station. I suggested it would look good in black and white. A short conversation followed, mostly with me doing the listening for a change, and it became clear they had an interest in photographing anything they thought old.
I don’t normally say who I am, or about my job, unless people ask, so I was happy to let them enthuse about what they were trying to do.
The thing that struck me was that they have a theme they can build upon as life unfolds for them. In reality, while professionally you have a body of work that grows quite quickly, it is sometimes for the enthusiast, difficult to build the same in any sort of depth, as a lot of things are tackled photographically speaking.
However. among the variety of situations and subjects that many turn their cameras too, there are likely to be a few growing potential portfolios. For example on holiday, how many have shots of the sea? With a few good shots across a few trips you have the start of an ongoing series. Ditto that for landscapes, churches, close-up and macro subjects to name some more
If you start to look at the series of images as ‘one’, then it becomes easy to see where can add to those images and take things further. And I can assure you that as you look back at shots created over time, with an ongoing theme, a lot of pleasure can be had in that. Not only that but who knows the value in every sense of those shots in the future?
