WCA helps new nurses help Maui
UH Maui College student nurses ran a COVID vaccine clinic at Binhi At Ani Filipino Community Center on May 1. First-year students (in teal scrubs) and second-year students (in maroon) gave 76 shots.
Maui has only one acute care hospital, located in Wailuku. If you live farther than 30 minutes away from Maui Memorial Medical Center and need immediate care, the consequences can be dire. This one issue has caused many people to sell their homes or move away.
The West Maui community has tried for years to have another hospital built there. According to the Maui News, the state approved a hospital project in 2009, but it has since been on hold due to an inability to secure funding. And even if the hospital were to be built, it would be difficult to find enough medical personnel to staff it.
In light of these challenges, the Wailea Community Association has found an innovative way to help anyone who needs better access to healthcare. It has started contributing in several ways to the nursing program at UH Maui College, in hopes of increasing healthcare resources in the Maui community.
Helping new nurses get to work
This spring, WCA will cover all the licensure expenses for UHMC's 41 nursing graduates, as it did for 38 graduates last fall. The costs can be up to $450 per student: the test is $200, plus students have to travel to O'ahu to take it. WCA also paid for the licensure of 10 LPNs, and it has committed to helping another 10 LPNs this fall.
In addition, the WCA is helping nursing students prepare for their NCLEX licensure examinations by offsetting the cost of software that features practice tests and simulations, tutoring, books and more to increase students' testing success.
"We are thrilled to continue partnering with UH, especially during this pandemic," said Bud Pikrone, general manager of the Wailea Community Association. "We have all learned how valuable this program and these students and graduates are to our Maui community."
Besides helping students become nurses, the partnership with WCA is already making a tangible impact in the community.
WCA recently asked UHMC's nursing department for help talking with the WCA landscaping crew in Ilocano about COVID vaccinations. Students realized there was a need in the Filipino community to dispel misinformation and make it easier to access vaccines.
They organized a COVID vaccination clinic at Binhi At Ani Filipino Community Center on May 1. The students ran all aspects of the clinic—from finding supplies to setting up to screening and registration—and gave 76 shots!
"It is an amazing testament to the influence these young nurses are having, and will have, in this community," said Anne Scharnhorst, DNP, RN, chair and professor of Allied Health at UHMC. She said WCA's influence will be felt for years to come.
Enabling students to continue their journeys
Students have been grateful for the support, especially considering how the pandemic has impacted their lives. The WCA's gifts have encouraged nursing students not only to complete their licensing, but also to continue their education.
Chelsea Yamashige graduated with her Associate of Science in nursing in May 2020. She said the financial support for NCLEX fees gave her more financial freedom, which has allowed her to better balance her work, school and personal life, and spend more time studying.
"This ultimately allows me to better care for the patients I have as one of the newly-appointed nurse residents at the Maui Memorial Medical Center," she wrote in a thank-you letter.
Yamashige is now working remotely on her bachelor's in nursing from Boise State University. She plans to continue on for a doctorate in nursing practice, as she wants to become a nurse practitioner and specialize in oncology.
"It is here in the field of nursing that I truly feel both challenged and driven to become a better version of myself every day for the benefit of my patients, my community, and to perpetuate a strong workforce of passionate and genuine healthcare team members," Yamashige said.
Mikiala Maynard also earned her associate degree from UHMC in May 2020. With financial support from WCA, she passed her licensing exam in August and is now working on a bachelor's in nursing at UH Mānoa. She will graduate this May and has been accepted into the Doctorate in Nursing Practice program at UH Mānoa. She wants to become a family nurse practitioner and stay on Maui to serve her community.
"This new journey has not been easy, but it is already so rewarding," Maynard wrote in a letter to WCA. "By being able to help members of our community, and by learning and growing so much myself, I know I have found my true calling."
She added: "I hope that by returning to school, I am showing my daughter (and others) that anything is possible, and dreams can come true, with hard work and dedication."
Like Maynard, Arielle Bagcal appreciated the support from WCA to cover her NCLEX exam last August. She is continuing her studies at UH Hilo toward a bachelor's in nursing and hopes to finish in spring 2022.
Bagcal said that the assistance from WCA will help her pay for her BSN tuition and any other additional fees. She wrote, "You have alleviated many of our financial burdens and helped us achieve our goals."

Emergence – Season 1 Episode 3 Recap & Review
Robot Dog
After last week's dramatic episode, Emergence returns for a deeper look at the conspiracy as new players enter the fold and we learn more about Piper's mysterious powers.
With the air-band radio in her possession, the episode begins with Jo attempting to decipher the messages before telling Alex to leave before things get confusing. Despite this, he promises to help decode the messages. However, when Piper ends up sick she changes her mind about him leaving and he reluctantly agrees to stay behind and look after her.
Outside, Benny arrives with pastries and sweet talks his way into speaking to Piper. She refuses of course but before she can elaborate, Jo learns the reporter is awake and heads in to interview him. It turns out his name is Kent Learner and he was hired by a man named Richard Kindred who owns a tech company. Meanwhile, back home Alex learns more about Piper's abilities as she reads the code on the computer. Despite cracking part of the message, Alex realizes they're out of medicine and heads out with Piper to stock up.
Having found out that Kindred is the one behind all of this, Jo storms into Benny's apartment and they discuss his past, where it's revealed that our reporter knew more than he initially let on. Determined to talk to him, Jo rushes off to find Kindred and hands him the card. Outside, he confronts her and asks what she's done to it as it doesn't appear to be working. Getting nowhere, they leave things on an ominous note after he threatens her well-being.
Piper, meanwhile, has a vision at the pharmacy which results in her rushed to hospital, where Jo checks in on her. While there, she receives a mysterious text from someone who offers advice on curing Piper – 2mg of copper. Querying it with one of her colleagues and without a clear answer over what's causing Piper's sickness, she decides to follow the advice. It works, for a bit at least but as she starts becoming sick again, Kent experiences glitches on his hospital equipment which results in a lethal dose of morphine being administered.
Determined to get some answers, Jo and Benny team up and track down Emily, asking her about Piper. She tells them she has no idea what they're talking about and offers to show them her phone. As she hands it over to them, the message "they're watching" is recorded down. Later, she takes them to a remote building where a cure for Piper lies and tells them they have 5 minutes to get in and out.
Inside the building, Jo manages to find the right locker and grabs a case inside. However, the alarms go off soon after causing robot dogs to begin patrolling the area. Managing to escape, outside Emily uses the case to download a cure, telling them that the disk needs to be administered to Piper's wrist. As Emily leaves, Jo returns to the hospital after bemoaning what she believes to be a con. However, when she gets to Piper's bed, she places the disk on her wrist and it seems to work.
Back home, Jo ponders over what this all means while Alex tells her that Piper cracked the code where we leave the episode.
With numerous questions left hanging over the series and plenty to digest ready for next week, Emergence delivers another dramatic episode here, one that does well to add more depth and background behind the people responsible for Piper's illness and mysterious powers.
While the series still suffers a little from comparisons to Stranger Things, there's enough originality here to make for an enjoyable watch nonetheless. Quite what will happen next remains to be seen but for now, Emergence continues to deliver an enthralling mystery.

UN attacks Israeli rights 'crimes'
Tel Aviv committing "crimes against humanity" against Palestinians, UN rapporteur says.
The delivery of essential aid to Gaza has been stemmed by the Israeli blockade [AFP]
"[The court could] determine whether the Israeli civilian leaders and military commanders responsible for the Gaza siege should be indicted and prosecuted for violations of international criminal law," he said.
Human rights declaration 'under threat'
The Israeli government has faced a level of criticism by "normally cautious UN officials" not seen since the "the heyday of South African apartheid," Falk said.
"And still Israel maintains its Gaza siege in its full fury, allowing only barely enough food and fuel to enter to stave off mass famine and disease."
Israel has maintained tight controls on what supplies enter the Gaza Strip, home to about 1.5 million Palestinians, since Hamas, a Palestinian group, took control of it in June 2007.
The Israeli and US governments say that Hamas is a terrorist organisation.
Rights recommendations
The Human Rights Council said in its list of 99 recommendations that Israel must completely end its blockade of Gaza, while also calling for it to release Arab detainees.
Israel's ambassador to the UN in Geneva said that "Israel remains committed to reinforcing areas in which we are succeeding and bettering those areas that need improvement."
Aharon Leshno Yaar said the dialogue had been "positive and productive".
Israel is due to report to the UN council in March on how it will address the recommendations.
Deliveries allowed
The Israel military allowed dozens of lorries carrying humanitarian aid to enter Gaza and permitted the delivery of diesel to Gaza's main power plant on Tuesday.
The Karam Abu Salam crossing allowed about 40 lorries carrying supplies into the territory, while 30 lorries with grain, wheat and bird feed passed through the Karni crossing.
The Nahal Oz fuel terminal allowed in some industrial fuel for Gaza's only power plant, as well as cooking gas for the general public and petrol for UN operations.
The Erez crossing was also open for journalists and humanitarian workers coming into Gaza.
But Ayman Mohyeldin, Al Jazeera's correspondent in the Palestinian coastal strip, said the amount of supplies allowed into Gaza was of limited quantity and would only probably last for a few days.

Gaza crossings open 'temporarily'
Israel reopens to allow passage of limited supplies to impoverished residents.
Israel blocks 'siege-busting' ship
Special forces deployed around Jaffa port to prevent ship from reaching Gaza.
Libyan aid ship blocked from Gaza
The docking attempt was the first by a foreign government to break Israeli blockade.
Israel re-imposes Gaza blockade
Rocket fire from Gaza Strip blamed for closure of crossings.

Located within just a short drive away from Tavira's city centre, Quinta da Lua is truly heaven on earth. This delightful bed & breakfast is run by Miguel Martins, an entrepreneurial traveller who followed his lifelong dreams and opened this comfortable and beautifully renewed tourist lodging after a trip to Tavira.
Quinta da Lua rests peacefully amongst orange trees, bougainvillea, lavender, and other lusty shrubbery, which makes the perfect setting for a well-spent holiday amidst nature and away from Algarve's crowds. The staff is welcoming, kind, and always ready to promptly offer you the best service there is and make you feel relaxed and at ease.
As you enter Quinta da Lua, the bucolic décor and interior details will let you know you are in for a treat, not long before you discover the six double rooms and two suites, each of them painted in distinct colours as a way of giving each guest a unique experience, and tastefully decorated.
They are featured with air-conditioning, safe-deposit box, central heating, and private bathroom or shower room with hairdryer. Also, there are always fresh flowers picked from the garden in every room, every day. Prices range between € 169 and € 225 per double room and over, and per night, depending on the season.
Although the suites differ from the other rooms in size and in some of the amenities—only suites are presented with TV, but you can always ask for one at the desk—you will surely find a nice veranda or terrace in which you can enjoy the view overlooking the lovely garden and outdoor saltwater swimming pool while you have breakfast or listen to some music in a complementary CD player.
When it comes to delightful meals, Quinta da Lua knows how and what to do. Breakfast plays an important role in the lives of both the guests and the staff, who ensure everyone is having a great time during the only meal served on a daily basis and savouring every little piece of heaven that comes to the table. Homemade cakes and preserves, along with a selection of bread, cheese, fruit, yoghurt, muesli, and freshly-made orange juice from the neighbouring orange groves make up for a beautifully set up breakfast table. Enjoy it inside or outside in the frontal wooden terrace, if the weather's inviting.
Although you might want to explore the available restaurants in Tavira or other Algarve's surroundings, we suggest you try having dinner at Quinta da Lua at least once, if the opportunity arises, to get to know the amazing dishes served to the guests by the careful and exquisite hands of Miguel, who, besides being the owner, is also the chef. On occasion, Miguel is more than happy to cook delightful dishes from Portugal, with the infrequent fusion cuisine details inspired by his traveller background. Make sure you ask the staff if dinners are available if you want to try Miguel's cooking. Nevertheless, feel free to follow restaurant suggestions from Miguel in Tavira, which will often be tasteful and fit every budget.
Quinta da Lua makes the perfect base from which to explore the surroundings and discover Tavira's natural and historical charms. From here, you can hire a bicycle and set off into the wilderness or see the sights at the historical centre of picturesque Tavira, the beaches of Cacela Velha and Cabanas Islands, and the beautiful Ria Formosa Natural Reserve, amongst many other superb natural treasures.
Even after relaxing in one of the different garden refuges around Quinta da Lua, you should definitely squeeze in some time to indulge in a relaxing massage or a beauty treatment, one of the many services of at your disposal for a tranquil and restful stay.
At night, feel free to help yourself to drinks from the outdoor bar and, if you are lucky and the full moon is out, you will surely find out where Quinta da Lua took its name from. Although Quinta da Lua is just a short drive from Tavira, as we mentioned earlier, a car or some other means of transportation are necessary, but you should have no problem finding a taxi to get you to the city centre and back.
Also, if requested, there is an airport shuttle that runs from the hotel to the Faro Airport, and a car hire service available at the front desk.
Quinta da Lua is one of the many perfect places in Tavira, Portugal, to spend your holiday with your family, friends, and certainly as a couple, as the romantic atmosphere will set the mood for great and peaceful moments with your better half.


Not done much again this evening. Actually getting really bored of being in. Although I have just realised that I might not get to see tomorrow night's episode of The Bill until Monday! Or maybe I could take the video to Emma's with me - then I can bore her by saying "met them" every few minutes! Every time I go on a London Trip I just get atotal Bill obsession afterwards. I should be getting a Farscape video soon though, so maybe it'll turn into a Farscape obsession given that I'll have to watch 3 or 4 episodes in a day or two probably.
I've been very bad and not done any of my website, although I'm feeling bored now, so I will probably do some for an hour before I watch TV. Feeling kind of scared about the First Aid assessment tomorrow. I do know the stuff and I think I can at least make a guess if I don't know anything, but I'd really much rather check someone I know for injuries and put them into the recovery position. And the bandaging. I might have to ask how it works beforehand, although then again I might be better off not knowing!
Hopefully I'll get my photos tomorrow, which I'll have to sort out so my parents can look at them before I go fencing. Found out that Scott Neal (who plays Luke Ashton in TB) is only a year older then me! And he's also played a gay character and previously kissed a bloke for it, which is interesting. I wonder how that affected his kiss in TB? What is really scary is that Ciaran Griffths (Gary Best) is a year younger than my sister (so 4 years younger than me)!
I have done some work on my website! Today I've done the photos pages (at least for the ones already there, haven't done the new ones yet). I had to do one of them twice though because I accidently overwrote it and it wasn't in the recycle bin as its still being crap. Remembered something I forgot from Tescos! My back hurts, I think from bending over at the first aid course. I will lie down and rest it soon (nearly Bill time). Its even nice enough today to peg my washing out, which is good.
I've also spent rather a lot of money on the SG3 and SG4 videos. I'll order the SG5 ones at SG5 I think, it'll be slightly cheaper at least. I was good and didn't buy any Ewan McGregor videos off Blackstar. I checked for The Bill videos and it said The Trial of Eddie Santini (despite not being out for very long) has been deleted! Which is actually quite annoying as I missed the end of the episode due to the video cutting out. Although its old news now.
I knew there was something I hadn't done - the puzzle! Off to do that now then, and send a text message, I think.
I haven't updated for a while due to spending the last four days (not including today, I was sleeping today) at The Bill studios. When I look through the list of the current cast I've actually managed to see most of them (except for Hywel Simons who wasn't in, damnit). Been a really weird day today. Slept in late, so not tired now, which means I won't get much sleep tonight and so I'll be tired all week. You just can't win. Watched two episodes of Stargate, and the Andromeda episode with Michael Shanks. I still don't understand the Andromeda character at all. But he looked good, so never mind. And the Farscape was just weird. Which I suppose is typical Farscape really.
Haven't been to work since Tuesday, and not going back till Friday, which is cool. I'm off on a four day First Aid course from Monday. Then Friday I'm going to Leeds to see some friends (hoping they'll rearrange the Emmerdale-Bill cricket match to then, but I doubt it as it'll be too short notice really) and not coming back here till Monday. Then things'll be back to normal, which will actually seem quite strange! No more days off till the end of October. Long time really.
I was going to watch some late night Enterprise, but its a crap one, so maybe I'll read some fanfic instead. Didn't quite manage to watch 24 earlier due to it being really boring. They should have finished at 8am, its been really patchy since then. I'm looking forward to the end just so it'll all be over. I'm expecting the usual American saccharine ending, but hoping everyone'll die, which'll be much more interesting. But won't allow them to have another series, which I don't think they should do anyway. The only reason it's done well is because its original, which is a feature a second series won't have.
Can't believe it still hasn't rained. Although that probably means it'll do it tomorrow when I'll be outside. Although with the humidity, and doubtless the heat of the tube, it'll probably be quite nice to be out in the rain. It was so horrible at work today. I had to keep getting up to stop myself getting stuck to the chair. So having to stay late didn't help. But I don't have to go back there till a week on Friday which is very good. I think we should go with the European system and have August off because of the heat.
There is so nothing else going on in my life at the moment! Just the heat and the humidity. Looking forward to seeing my friends this week. My whole room smells of my blow-up chair. I hope it stops smelling soon.
I can't believe the tiny amount its rained today, given that its been so humid today its been horrible. I really think my landlady has far too many mirrors in her bathroom. I made the mistake of turning the shower on after I had undressed and caught sight of myself in the mirror above the bath. If that isn't an advert for keeping your clothes on I don't know what is. It doesn't help that afterwards when you turn round you can see yourself in the other two mirrors!
I was feeling so terrible at work this afternoon because it was so hot. I had to get up every 10 minutes otherwise I stuck to the chair. And its too humid to put my washing out. Although thats mainly because I keep thinking that it might actually really rain. Maybe I should put my washing back out to purposely make it rain. I hope it isn't so hot for the rest of the week. I at least won't be at work, but I'll probably be getting up earlier, being busier and getting less sleep, as per usual. And I really need to sort out the insoles in my canvas shoes. Its impossible to keep them in the right place, as I walk they move forwards and my feet hurt.
I would just like to say exactly how annoying it is when you're typing something in explorer, press backspace to delete something and it goes to the previous page and deletes everything you've written. But only sometimes, sometimes its okay to press the button. Blogger kept my text though, thank goodness.
Was really pissed off about it being hot earlier, but I've had a shower and cooled down a bit now, so feeling better. Plus had a few text messages and e-mails from various friends, which was cool. And the most recent Jedi Quest book in the post. Although my social life's suddenly getting much more complicated. For some reason Wallingford has smelt of country animals (ie stinks) since last night. Its really annoying, because its too hot to close my window, but I need a peg on my nose!
Was going to go and watch the raft race this evening, but stayed in because I had a load of things to do. Not that I've actually got that much done, but still 🙂 Pipex is being crap at the moment. I'm trying to get a site tracker for my site (as they host it), but they send an e-mail for confirmation and you have to use the username and password they send within 24 hours. Trouble is, they haven't sent me any e-mails. I know the e-mail addresses I used work, because I checked. You just can't get the staff. Not least because I had a notification that I had (junk) e-mail at another account, but it apparently doesn't exist!
And why is it I always seem to have a complicated yet non-existant love-life?
Not sure I'm actually going to make a night in this week, which is good, although I haven't had time to work on the site. If anyone really hates the new red design, then thats just tough because I like it. Should be going fencing tonight, although I'm not sure how much fencing I'll actually do because its quite warm out. At least if it is nice this weekend I could wash my kit and hang it out and it won't take long to dry.
Work was really quite boring today because there wasn't much of it to do. I should go over to the other site tomorrow and see about borrowing someone's computer to make some CDs. Assuming we have some blank CD-Rs, that is. Its really annoying that I have to archive everything onto CD (which I quite like), it would just be nice if I had a CD writer on my computer to do it with.
Really hope its not going to be 30degrees at the weekend, thats just a bit too hot for me. I don't want it to rain for the picnic on Saturday, or Sunday as I need to go into Reading, although my hayfever's not good, so I really need it to rain quite a bit for that. It did rain a bit on Tuesday, but so little you'd have been hard pressed to notice afterwards as the ground was still dry.
Must go and organise my lift, watch Buffy and send some e-mails.
Suddenly don't have much time as I have to leave in 15mins to go out for a meal at a pub, no idea where it is. Also have to sort out going up to Leeds in a few weeks as people are trying to make it complicated and going travelling, specially as my boss asked me about that one today. I did at least go to the STA travel site, I think I need to decide where I want to go and try and speak to someone, which means going in on a Saturday, as they're not open on Sundays.
My job an everything are actually going okay at the moment, but I'm sure it could be a lot better. People were talking about someone's hen night they went on that I wasn't invited to, which only makes me realise how little I have in common with all of the people there. They're okay, just boring. Their main topics of conversation are Eastenders, Big Brother, weddings and houses, and I'm really not interested in any of them. The blokes are a bit better, although they do talk about football quite a lot, which is also boring.
Must go and read my e-mails and sort myself out. Thought I'd have an hour to let my hair dry, which would be plenty, but ended up with more like 20mins due to leaving work late (was sitting there watching a macro run in excel) then realised I had to get some milk as I forgot at lunchtime. Have loads of things I need to do when I get back later now!
Its always hard going back to work after the weekend, its even harder when you've had a 3-day weekend. Not that I'm complaining though, I'm quite glad I only have 4 days this week, I'm looking forward to the weekend already! I only have two projects on at the moment, but they are being really complicated. Not to mention the amount of time I have to spend waiting for things to be done on them by other people and running some big tables for other projects. I had a headache by the time I got home (although the heat probably didn't help).
Tonight's Rotaract is my first as secretary. Haven't decided how I'm going to write the minutes yet. Last night I dreamt that I went to the meeting and forgot to take anything to write on! Now I'm hoping it isn't going to rain before I leave as my washing is hanging outside, hopefully drying. Could potentially be a long meeting tonight as well, so not really going to get much done before Friday. And I have to decide what I'm going to do about my Tescos shopping. I might just get the minimum possible when I go to Reading on Sunday.
The internet is so slow after getting used to adsl!
I've been at home for the weekend, which has been nice, especially as I have been playing on the wireless adsl network!
Saturday I went to Winspit quarry, near Swanage for a water pistol fight, which was great fun as always. As it has been so hot for a week it was nice to get wet 🙂 It was nice to see all my friends down here as well.
The only thing about being at home is that every day is the same, as no-one is at work or school or anything. At least I only have a four-day week to go back to, and I'm busy every evening, so it won't be long until the weekend when I can go and see some different friends.
It so much nicer being at home, because its home. Although it is a bit in the middle of nowhere (although more buses here, admittedly, its difficult for there to be fewer). Due to my burnt finger I've not been re-doing my website. But it will look like this page (although none of the links here work). And I'll work out how to use this blogger thing sometime soon.

When the first STI 2011 pistols hit dealer shelves in 1994, it was unique in being the only high-capacity M1911 design featuring a modular two-piece bottom end consisting of a steel sub-frame and a detachable polymer grip. The company's newest model, the Total Eclipse, was introduced in January 2010. The Total Eclipse offers the benefits of STI's modular design in a model featuring a 3-inch barrel, a 0.9-inch-shorter grip, and a high-capacity magazine holding 13 rounds of 9 mm Luger, 11 rounds of .40 S&W, or nine rounds of .45 ACP.
The Total Eclipse is built on the company's 2011 platform, which features a shortened frame made of 4140 steel hardened to 30 Rc. This precision-machined component contains the frame rails, fire-control mechanism, thumb and grip safeties and slide stop, and it serves as the bed for the barrel. The trigger pull is factory-set for a nominal weight of 4 pounds, 8 ounces, to 5 pounds, 8 ounces. Custom frame touches include an oversize-angled STI thumb safety, a bobbed STI high-grip beavertail safety with a palm pad, and an extended combat ejector.
The black grip is made of a proprietary glass-filled polymer. Molded-in checkered side panels and 20-l.p.i. checkering on the frontstrap and flat polymer mainspring housing, and 25 l.p.i. checkering on the squared-off trigger guard, afford a no-slip grip. The one-piece construction of the grip allows a relatively thin front strap and sidewalls, resulting in a grip width of 1.28 inches, a fore-and-aft measurement of 2.10 inches and a circumference of 5.69 inches. These figures compare well with the grip width typical of a single-stack M1911. Because of the double-stack magazine, however, the STI grip has a blockier shape.
The slide is CNC-machined of 4140 steel, heat-treated to approximately 40 Rc. It features angled rear slide serrations and a lowered and fluted ejection port. The slide lacks a passive firing pin block.
Both the slide and steel frame are thoroughly dehorned, and all metal components have a matte-black KG finish.
The pistol's stainless steel STI barrel features an integral Wilson/Nowlin-type feed ramp and a flared muzzle. Compression of its double-spring recoil system is controlled by a two-piece, full-length guide rod.
Sights consist of a ramped front post, and a Heinie fixed carry rear with Trijicon self-luminous inserts, arranged in a two-dot figure-eight pattern. An integral sight channel in the top of the slide allows lower sight mounting.
Its double-stack magazine has a steel body, a polymer follower, and a removable black polymer floorplate. The magazine catch is steel.
We tested a new STI Total Eclipse in .40 S&W using defensive loads from Hornady, Remington and Winchester, fired off sandbags at 25 yards. We initially experienced occasional feeding jams, attributable in our judgment to the tight fitting of the gun. After a 75-round break-in period, however, reliability became excellent. Ejection was strong, with cases thrown 7 to 10 feet to the rear. All of the pistol's controls and safeties worked properly.
The best-performing Hornady XTP load grouped into less than 3 inches. Recoil was strong but not intolerable, thanks to the dual-spring recoil system and the gun's polymer grip. The grip frame was noticeably shorter than that of a standard Government Model or STI pistol, but our test shooter's average-size hands fit around the grip comfortably without overhanging at the bottom. The light weight of the polymer grip frame made the gun feel slightly top-heavy, especially as the magazine emptied.
The molded checkering on the sides and front of the grip assisted in maintaining a consistent hold, and the gun was reasonably controllable even when shooting rapid pairs. Viewed through the rear notch, the front post allowed sufficient daylight around its sides for fast sight alignment.
One of the benefits of the STI design is its modularity, which allows the grip portion of the Total Eclipse to be changed out for any other STI grip.
The STI Total Eclipse is neither larger nor heavier than a Colt Lightweight Officer's ACP, but it holds roughly 50 percent more ammunition. The pistol's many "factory custom" modifications make any additional gunsmithing enhancements superfluous. These factors should make the pistol a top contender in the burgeoning carry-gun market.
Barrel: 416 stainless steel, 3"
Trigger Pull: single-action, 5 lbs, 8 ozs.


We have put together a short Dog Insurance Guide, its available under the features section of the menu bar, or simply click here Dog Insurance Guide. Hopefully it provides some useful information when comparing dog insurance for your best friend!

Notes from Margaret Schaal a.k.a. 'First in Line Girl' on Day One of Ticket Sales
August 5, 2013 /in News /by TCFF
Margaret Schaal, a.k.a. "First in Line Girl" at the screening of "Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me" | Jane Boursaw Photo
One of the great joys of the Traverse City Film Festival is running into friends I don't get to see that often during the rest of the year.
When I learned that Margaret Schaal, an old friend from high school, was first in line on Day One of Ticket Sales, we (with guidance from film fest staffer Tia Shuyler) came up with the idea to gather some notes from her film festival experience this year.
Margaret said this was her first year of getting in line early, and Karen Gardner was her "first in line" buddy and kept her company through the night.
They got there in the wee, wee hours of the morning, although we decided not to reveal the exact time, because then it sets the bar higher and higher every year!
But "it was a nice night to camp out," said Margaret, adding that the woman who was eighth in line this year also had that spot last year.

Margaret also thought it was really fun to see the Mahjong ladies come and set up their table around 6 or 7 in the morning.
"And Horizon Books [full disclosure – Margaret works there!] serves GREAT breakfasts starting at 7 a.m. Had pancakes, REAL maple syrup and bacon. And the TCFF served coffee and scones. So a real party!!!"
Margaret was most excited about "Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me," and we actually ended up sitting next to each other for the screening (I took the above photo outside the theater after the film). Margaret looked so cute in her Stritch outfit with long white shirt and dapper hat.
Margaret also decided to devote part of her film festival experience to non-film events. "I finally got to a Film School class after wanting to do that for years," she said. "I found the 'Mistaken for Filmmakers' class to be interesting, informative and entertaining."
A past member of the very first Midnight Screening at the Traverse City Film Festival ("Air Guitar Nation"), this year, Margaret saw the midnight screening of "Unhung Hero."
"It delivered!" she said. "With some real LOL moment – and why were there more women than men at this screening???" The film also featured some poignant revelations by the star and filmmaker, Patrick Moote, who answered questions after the film. "I don't know if he thought the SIZE of the audience mattered, since it was a shame that the place wasn't packed," she said.
Margaret also saw "56 Up," followed by a Q&A with director Michael Apted and film subject Susan Davis. "I am a fan of the series having discovered it at college, and since these folks are just a little older than me, I've been interested in following their lives," said Margaret.
"Susan talked about trust being key to letting the filmmakers into the lives of the subjects," said Margaret. "I wonder if provisions are being made as to who the subjects will trust to continue filming and interviewing if/when Mr. Apted can no longer continue. I think it would be interesting to see '83 Up.'"
Margaret also loved Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing." "Cool adaptation," she noted. "Song tunes are new with the Bard's words. Strongest Leonato I've seen on stage or screen, and I loved the villains in this piece, as well. I think teachers will love to use this for their classes."
On a final note, Margaret said she thought the short narratives this year were great and enjoyable. "Glad I didn't miss them. These were solid, and a wide variety."
Thank you, my friend, for sharing your film festival experience with us!

Carolyn Miles goes from failed veterinarian to international nonprofit leader.
Carolyn Miles, (Darden MBA, 1988), majored in animal behavior at Bucknell, but she passed out cold the first time she joined a veterinary team during a surgical procedure, and realized that her career ambitions had been misplaced. Out of college, she joined a multinational chemical company, working in sales, overseeing a large territory in the Midwest.
She went to Darden to get her MBA and fell in love with marketing. She also fell in love with and married her husband during her time in graduate school. When they moved to New York the following summer, she joined American Express, marketing credit cards to college students.
When they were offered the opportunity to go abroad, she and her husband jumped at it, and they were able to leverage an American Express program that allowed them to relocate to Hong Kong. Though the move was intended to be temporary, they loved it and stayed for years, and two of their three children were born there.
By the time she returned to the States, she knew she wanted to transition to nonprofit work. The family settled in Connecticut, and eventually, Carolyn found a job listing for a mid-level marketing position at Save the Children covering many of the responsibilities she'd had at American Express. That was sixteen years ago. She moved up quickly, serving as COO for seven years, before taking the helm as President and CEO three years ago.
Carolyn plans to continue her stewardship of Save the Children and her passionate advocacy for kids in need worldwide. As she advances the organization, she says she enjoys mentoring people, and being mentored herself. She notes that even the chief executive needs coaching sometimes, and credits her current board chair, Anne Mulcahy, a former CEO at Xerox, with providing her with ongoing input and advice.
Women business leaders mentoring other women business leaders at the very top – now that's something we love to see!

I'm Mangoe! I'm an avid fan of anime, manga, video games, fantasy, and the like, and I cosplay in my spare time! I really love this hobby, so I created somewhere to post my work freely!
I got my first manga when I was 5 and immediately fell in love with everything anime. I didn't have many people to share my interests with, so I turned to the internet and eventually found cosplay! For many years I was happy to run around in hot glued thrift store costumes with no makeup or wigs.
In more recent years, I've become a lot more passionate about portraying characters in a way I can be happy with. I enjoy both accuracy and artist interpretation, but most of the time I focus on how I can have the most fun in a costume.
In real life, I put in those 40 hours at a normal adult job, and have been working through a business degree focusing on marketing and advertising, with some psychology in the background. I like to dabble into art, backstage theatre, arcades, and baking on the side.
I love sharing the fun with other fans! If you're interested in seeing my content, then subscribe to my mailing list for updates! I'll see you around!
Why do you cosplay? - Not only do I get to show my love and appreciation for characters through it, but it's also a great creative outlet for me! It makes my enjoyment for shows and characters feel really tangible.
How do you pronounce your name? - Mango, just like the fruit. The E is silent.
Do you make or buy your costumes? - It depends on each costume, some I've made from scratch, some I've bought and just put it right on. More recently I've been buying and then altering; sometimes I just make it fit a little better and make a few accessories, and other times I completely remake most of it and add embellishments. Costumes made by other cosplayers I credit as so!
Can we shoot? Can we collab? Can you take part in my project? - Feel free to email me through my contact page or at mangoe.milk.tea@gmail.com!
Where are you from? - I am American born and raised, living in Chicago. I am half Turkish, half white.
Will you come to *con not on my planned convention list*? - Feel free to suggest it to me! But unless I get invited as a guest, there are many cons I cannot afford to go to outside my already planned ones.

Q: Correct way to express: no one is close
Are you sad, when no one's close?

Is that question correct?
My question is about the part 'no one is close'. I mean 'when you are alone'. Or should I better say 'no one is close to you'.

A: I think it's grammatically correct, but not quite common. I'd rather use "around" and not "close". Or you can alternatively say

Are you sad, when there's no one around?

I also think "to you" is implied where you say "when no one's close".

A: Based on the short snippet you provided, it's not totally clear what you mean by close. If you really mean "when you are alone," just say that:

Are you sad when you are alone?

or

Are you sad when you're all alone?

If you want to use close to mean physically close, I would use "close by":

Are you sad when nobody is close by?

If you're talking more about emotional or familial closeness, I might say:

Are you sad when nobody close to you is around?

Which Tech Company are you most Aligned to?
Mike Halsey MVP
Updated • Jan 4, 2018
Apple, Companies
The computing industry is unlike any other in the way that it divides people into one camp or another. People sometimes become fanatical about the way they follow one company, and they can be completely scathing about others. The example you'll all be able to recognise here is Apple fans who will sometimes go to the ends of the Earth to defend the company, the brand and the CEO.
I thought I'd ask here if you are a fan of a particular brand and why that is? I'll start with myself. I'm aligned with Microsoft goods (though I'd never call myself a fan) primarily for a few reasons.
The first reason is that in recent years Microsoft good have just got better and better. Let's take Office for example, it's still the world's most popular integrated suite by a wide margin, even on the Mac. This is despite the much-derided Ribbon interface and the fact that every other office suite in the world uses traditional menus.
So why is Microsoft Office the world's best office suite? It simply can't be just because it sells more than its competitors. For this to happen people first have to believe it's great, so you can't just say it's based on sales figures. We need to understand what drives those figures.
Other software such as Hotmail, which has had numerous improvements in the last two years and is now 20x faster than it used to be, and the excellent Live Essentials Suite are more reasons to like the company. Finally there's Windows 7 which, in the space of just a short year, silenced all the critics and made the world completely forget about the fiasco that was Vista and the security problems that plagued XP.
It wasn't always this way though. It's only in the last year of so that Microsoft have demonstrated they've got their mojo back. Before this I was sat between the major camps, and criticising Microsoft as much as anybody.
There are problems I see with Google and Apple though too. With Google I've never liked that their online services, which are great, simply don't interact with each other in the way I feel they should. There's no joined-up thinking like there is with Microsoft's online services. I'm also angry that they are attempting to appeal to a mass audience while at the same time not taking malware seriously on any of their platforms.
With Apple it's even more basic as I feel that every aspect of their operating systems is designed to sell you things. I also don't like the iTunes lock-in, especially when iTUnes itself reminds me too much of Windows Media Player from ten years ago.
There is a lot to like about Google and Apple though. Google's products will appeal to huge numbers of people because they're firstly of a very high quality, but also because they're all free. People who use Google's products don't seem to mind being served up targeted adverts in the way they do, because even though they may get it more than the customers of other companies, other companies do it too, including Microsoft.
Google's give it away for free attitude is a good one. They're not seen as the big monopoly that Microsoft are, grabbing everyones money, and huge amounts of it too, for dishing up products that are insecure or unreliable. If there are insecurities in Google's products, well they were free and how much do you expect for free!?
Apple has even more to like, not the least of which is the hardware design, the easy and simple to use ecosystem and the trendy factor that comes with owning their kit. They are "the place to be" when it comes to modern tech. You can easily forgive that they're now the largest technology company on the planet because when you're this trendy, of course you would be.
So many of us have tech camps that we have aligned ourselves to, and we have our own reasons for this. It's good and even great that we do this. Competition is essential if we're to continue to get the innovation that we all crave so much, and that drives technology forward. It's essential that these companies (and I've only mentioned three here but let's not forget Ubuntu, Facebook and many other major tech players who have supporters of equal vigour) continue to compete with each other in the way that they do.
It's also essential that they continue to differentiate themselves from their competitors in the way they do with different business models. Google for instance will best take off in emerging markets, probably the world's biggest growth area and one that Microsoft is desperate for a piece of. Why would people in these markets opt for Microsoft though when Google's products are mostly free?
So which tech camp do you sit in? Which of the major technology companies do you support and why, or do you just find the whole thing a bit of a bore and can't understand why people get so excited all the time? Post your comments below.
I thought I'd ask here if you are a fan of a particular brand and why that is?

I personally do not care about companies, I care about products.
Paul(us) said on June 28, 2011 at 11:48 am
I agree with Martin and i could add to that that i do not like company's like Apple with there child labor products.
Yoav said on June 28, 2011 at 12:54 pm
I'm with Martin.
I want products that work, first of all, and save me time. Price is a factor as well and if all else is equal I will choose open source platforms over closed ones, so that I won't be held hostage or sued by some hostile company just for trying to make the software that I bought to work the way I want it to…
techandlife said on June 28, 2011 at 1:21 pm
Yes that's very well put Martin.
Mike, I would argue that 'popular' doesn't necessarily mean 'best'. In the field I work, publishing, there's no doubt that MS Word is the industry standard. Most publishers insist that authors submit manuscripts in doc format (docx still hasn't really caught on in publishing). As a result, authors, copy editors, etc have to follow suit and use Word. I suspect most publishers haven't even considered or tried many alternatives like for example LibreOffice – I haven't. So I don't think we can say that Office is necessarily the best just because it's 'the most popular'. But I do accept that it's easier this way rather than having authors submit papers in different formats. (Yes, I know that LibreOffice can export in doc format, but I understand track changes is still not fully compatible.) It's just unfortunate globally that the industry standard is a commercial product from one company rather than say a free, open source alternative, which would help poorer authors in developing nations.
The other problem with being forced along the Word route is that most of us have a product which does much, much more than we'll ever need and use. A lighter, free product would suit many but until the commercial stranglehold is broken and companies stop insisting on using doc format then unfortunately great free alternatives won't be adopted widely and Word will remain 'popular'.

MS. I'm not cheering Microsoft, just saying: Don't care for Apple products, don't like Google. I'm a software junkie and all the good stuff is written for MS.
@ techandlife: Yes and Amen! I'd like .rtf to be the standard so everyone can use whatever word processor they like. I work in .rtf, paste to (spit, spit) Word for submissions.
Dan said on June 28, 2011 at 5:04 pm
While I use a Windows PC, I don't consider myself aligned with Microsoft. Because, aside from the OS, I barely use any other MS products. I use Chrome/Firefox instead of IE; Sylpheed instead of Live Mail; Picasa instead of Photo Gallery; Akelpad instead of Notepad; Softmaker Office instead of MS Office; Altap Salamander instead of Windows Explorer, etc. Microsoft makes the best platform for me, but it's just a platform, I work with third party apps.
AnonCoward said on June 28, 2011 at 5:17 pm
I guess you could say I'm aligned to MS because I've been using their OSes for many years. Though, it's not like there's an alternative that'd allow me to do all the things I can do in Windows. Namely graphics, video, sound editing, "audiophile music listening", AND playing games.
Having said that, I've never been a fanboi of anything. One should be able to use a product and even if they find it to be best to their liking, be able to notice and acknowledge its flaws. Personally, I can't take people who fall in love with their gadgets seriously, to put it mildly.
AC said on June 28, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Yeah I think I'm products more than companies.
To be in love with a certain company I think you have to be pretty blind or naive because there is no one company out there that does brilliantly at everything.
Microsoft = Windows and Office. This is what they do best. I must admit that I d use OpenOffice.org, instead of MS Office but that's only because Open Office is completely free and for my personal needs, it's more than adequate.I don't like IE, Bing or Homtail, although I do have a Hotmail account, it's not my primary email.
Mozilla =Firefox. This has been my default browser for about 6 years now and that won't change any time soon. I'm broderline being a fanboi but I can see that Chrome is an excellent browser and is the market leader in many respects and that Firefox is playing catch up in many respects. But not across the board. I find that stuff in the Options menu is still better than Chrome and I love the way you can customise the browser to have it run and look the way you want. Firefox may be behind Chrome at the moment but remember that Chrome started in September 2008 which is at least 15 months ahead of Firefox. So when you consider all the ground that Mozilla have to make up, they're not really doing that badly. Apart from Firefox I have never used any other Mozilla software.
Google – Chrome is installed as my back up browser although I rarely open it. Google Search is awesome. I also use Gmail as my primary email and I think it's great. Regardless of what people say about marketing or security, the way it looks, behaves and the features it offers put Hotmail in the dark in my opinion.
Chromebooks and Chrome OS? Wouldn't touch them, simple as that.
Apple – There are better products in every aspect of the market whether you're thinking of iPad, Safari, iPod etc. The only one that I may be tempted to use is the iPhone but I couldn't care less about my phone at the moment.
Roman ShaRP said on June 28, 2011 at 9:33 pm
As a man from rather poor Eastern Europe country, I can't really like company which wants money from me or tries to feed me with ads 24/7.
So – never MS, never Apple.
Many guys here favored MS Office, and you know what I want to tell you? If I want to work with some document on 4 PCs (work Win7, work Mac, home Win XP, home Win 7) I just _have_ to choose OpenOffice/LibreOffice, or pay bloody money in license fees (my company won't pay for MS Office on our Macs).
You may be surprised if I told you that job for well-known world-class brand was performed by me in OpenOffice, and I was saved to .doc only when sending to customer's team. I hope OO will get even better, like Firefox.
I like Google search, but I don't trust them too much. Some of their choices aren't good too.
The companies I like are the companies I'm free from. Mozilla Foundation, Document Foundation (Libreoffice)… and many independent developers and teams working on free and opensource software.
Anonymous said on June 28, 2011 at 10:24 pm
Microsoft for majority of desktop software and Google for web searches and Mozilla for browser. It had stayed this way for years and I do not see reason to change.
wangxy said on June 29, 2011 at 5:30 am
Canonical – Using Ubuntu as my default OS at home about 3 years ago was really eye opening and I never look back.
OpenOffice/LibreOffice – perfectly suit all my needs of document processing. In fact, I find using MS Office an unbearable chore. It's true that MS Office is popular, but that does not make it the best. We are in a business environment that often forces us to comply with the proprietary formats of MS. People who wish to make their document more open and compatible will ironically have to be willing to spend some extra time and effort. Dare MS make its document formats open to the public and encourage a more healthy competition that focuses on product quality itself?
Mozilla – Firefox. My default browser on all platforms.
Google – many of its online services. Seriously, without Google, where would you expect a Hotmail that is "20x faster"? Yet, Hotmail still sucks in terms of its usability IMHO.
Lastly, if you criticize Google for its insecurity and instability, then you really have to ask yourself whether the way that MS operates its product lines can make thing by any means better. The past history has given us an unequivocal answer and numerous examples.
Marxatax said on June 29, 2011 at 11:46 am
In the tiny, low-per-capita-income, third world country where I live, most people use pirated MS software and do not have any kind of credit to make on-line purchases. Those of us strapped for cash but wanting to remain 'legal' use Linux; LibreOffice works well for most things and has acceptable compatibility with MS Office.
Although Apple hardware is elegant, it is impossible to obtain apps, even free ones, (for the ipad at least) here.
As for Google, Chrome works very well but does not provide the flexibility of Firefox (If one has no on-line credit one does not wish to be bombarded with advertising). Android is the OS of choice for phones and tablets because of its accessibility.
Thus MS and Apple are deplored for their exclusive nature (for the rich only) and Open Source is championed for its altruism and availability. This reflects the politics, the 'who gets what' of software.
