Hmmmm............iPhone killer. Maybe.
I'm due for an upgrade in August and I'm thinking I might just have to get this. I love my iPhone, but I've already dropped it in water twice, so this would be a good phone for me. Not to mention, the blue looks really nice. I've had prior experience with Samsung phones & they are nice phones. Now, if the next iPhone comes out & it's water resistant I'm gonna be upset. But, I highly doubt that's gonna happen.

Game's Daughter Sings Beyonce's 'Drunk in Love' [VIDEO]
Warm fuzzies alert! Beyonce has inspired one little girl to maybe follow in her footsteps. While Game was taking his children on a McDonald's run, his cute daughter Cali sang Queen Bey's latest single, 'Drunk in Love.' The 'Jesus Piece' rhymer recorded the moment and posted it on Instagram for posterity.
In the video, the 3-year-old tyke belted out Bey's lyrics and rapped some of Jay Z's rhymes ("If I do say so myself / If I do say so myself").
It's the most adorable thing ever.
Game wrote, "Well, that was a short nap & @littlemisscali must've had a dream she was Beyoncé because this is happening right now on our way to McDonald's!!!!"
And like a good dad the Compton rapper gave Cali the tummy tickle to make sure his little girl wasn't thinking about swerving on anyone.
Last year, when Game appeared on the 'Arsenio Hall Show,' he gushed about Cali being his pride and joy.
"She means more to me than life itself. When I look into her eyes, that's all I need to do to get me going. I'm motivated," he said.
Check out Cali's singing debut.

I tried a poly on before (PHT fullbed) but it gave me some arm problems and went dead quick. I read nickb's poly reviews and I am thinking of using either big ace or blue gear for the mains and psgd for the crosses both at 57 pounds. Will this combo last a while (I play around 8 hours a week) and will it still give me arm problems?

Photographer's Note
I saw this fantastic picture on a wall in Eye Church, and was captivated by it's beauty,The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England and the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The church considers itself within the tradition of Western Christianity in England and dates its formal history from St Augustine of Canterbury's mission in 597.
At the time, it was an integral part of the Roman Catholic Church and acknowledged the authority of the Pope. Prompted by a dispute over the annullment of the marriage of Henry VIII, the Church of England separated from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 with the Act of Supremacy, beginning a series of events known as the English Reformation. Both Catholic and Reformed factions vied for determining the doctrines and worship of the church. This ended temporarily with the Elizabethan settlement, which developed the understanding that the church was to be both Catholic and Reformed:
Catholic in that it views itself as a part of the universal church of Jesus Christ in unbroken continuity with the early apostolic church. This is expressed in its emphasis on the teachings of the early Church Fathers, as formalised in the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian creeds.
Reformed in that it has been shaped by some of the doctrinal principles of the 16th century Protestant Reformation, in particular in the Thirty-Nine Articles and the Book of Common Prayer.
During the 17th century, political and religious disputes raised the Puritan and presbyterian faction to control of the church, but this ended with the Restoration. The contemporary Church of England still continues to contain several doctrinal strands, now generally known as Anglo-Catholic and Evangelical, which reflect the early divisions. In recent times, tensions between theological conservatives and progressives find expression in debates over women's ordination and homosexuality within the church. The Church of England has ordained women as priests since 1987 and is in the process of approving the consecration of female bishops.
Since the Reformation, the Church of England has used an English liturgy. The Book of Common Prayer was based on original writings and translations from the Latin services by Thomas Cranmer. This liturgy has been updated and modernised at various times. The church also adopted congregational singing of hymns and psalms.
The governing structure of the church is based on the traditional parishes which are gathered into dioceses presided over by a bishop. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the Primate of All England and a focus of unity for the whole Anglican Communion worldwide. The General Synod is the legislative body for the church and is comprised of bishops, clergy and laity. However as the established church in England, Parliament has the right of final apprioval of all measures.Info Wiki.

Hello Iain,
You have photographed an icon full of details. The image is very well exposed. It's not always so simple to expose well the subject full of reflective surfaces. I always like the way you frame the subject. I also like the very tight cropping that you did. It accentuate the main subject very well. Your note is very well appreciated. Thank you Iain for your inexhaustible energy.
With my respect,

Excellent visual view and presentation of this beautiful icon.
The clarity and sharpness are perfect.
I would like to have more written about the icons in your text by.
The reforms took place in the Eastern and Western Christian faith.
My thinking, as many reforms to move away from the more genuine and authentic faith, that the Son of our God Most High, Jesus Christ preached.
But it was and always will be, just to be with God's grace, all is not too far from care of the Almighty.
Beautiful composition with rich informative text.

A s I begin my tour of duty as your new Milam County Judge, my first thoughts are that there are 3,250 of you out there that voted for me on Nov. 2, most of you probably having had something specific in mind that you intended for me to get done once I took office.
Another 2,750 of you that voted for Frank Summers are probably saying, "Okay, Barkemeyer, so what's so great about you?"
And the other 10,000 or so of you registered voters that didn't vote this time all probably are ready for me to get some things done, too.
Do I sound a little anxious? You guessed it.
In the meantime, since Nov. 2, I've been making the rounds visiting all the departments and introducing myself to many of you that work in our county government, many of whom I knew very little about. Also I've been sitting in on courtroom sessions beginning to learn about all the different judiciary aspects of the job, digging into the $16 million county budget with over 1,500 line items trying to learn the details of each, signing up for several mandatory training classes that I must attend in Austin, Waco and Lubbock during my first three months in office.
In all this I've come to realize just how much there is to learn and understand about the job at this point. With that said, I am still as anxious as ever to get on with it. I am no less committed to do my best to bring you open, honest, efficient county government.
To work hard to be a catalyst for economic development, infrastructure improvement, effective interaction with our state and national officials, strong law enforcement and development of tourism including utilization of our historical assets.
My intention in these articles in the early going is to tell you about what I am learning about our county government as I get familiar with all the different departments.
For as I've already discovered, there are many duties and services that our elected officials and employees are responsible for that I didn't even know about, and I'm pretty sure that many of you don't know about them either.
Open, transparent county government means that you and I need to know what goes on and why, as well as how much it costs.
Sixteen million dollars is a lot of money (not near as much as we spend on our school systems) but still a lot of money.
So stay tuned, come visit some of our commissioner's court meetings at 10 a.m. on the second and fourth Mondays.
Let me and the commissioners know if you'd like for us to hold some of the meetings in the evenings. For sure we'll schedule some town hall meetings in the late afternoons.
I plan to make more information available on a Milam County web site as well, all to try to keep you informed of what is going on in your county government.

If you're on the road a lot, your smartphone is an essential tool – there's an app for just about anything you can think of.
Here are a handful that are particularly worth having for those who spend a lot of time in cars, planes and hotels:.
This one is "designed to be a complete end-to-end solution" for tracking travel expenses and itineraries, says David Barrett, founder and chief executive of San Francisco-based Expensify Inc. It can import credit-card transactions as well as scanning receipts, and if you scan the receipt for a credit-card transaction, Mr. Barrett says, Expensify will attach it to the corresponding record from the credit-card statement.
It also tracks mileage – you can enter starting and ending odometer readings or the length of your trip, or you can supply the starting and ending addresses and Expensify will use Google Maps data to calculate the distance. It can even use the Global Positioning System (GPS) to find your start and destination locations automatically, Mr. Barrett says.
Expensify also handles trip itineraries. Enter your flights in the app and it will pop up reminders before departure and notify you if your flight is delayed.
Mr. Barrett says Expensify is meant for everyone from very small businesses to large corporations, and supports 158 currencies and a wide range of mobile platforms.
Expensify is free for one or two users, then $5 to $10 per active user per month. It's available for iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and Palm devices.
Taxi Magic
This app is for booking taxis, sedans and shuttles from a mobile phone. Once you've ordered your ride, Taxi Magic will let you know when it's on the way and when it has arrived at your location. It also gives you the cab number and the driver's name, and if you're standing at the curb you can have the app display the cab number in large digits on your phone screen to help the driver to spot you.
Taxi Magic lets you pay online from your phone, and once you have paid, it provides an electronic receipt, so you don't have to deal with a wallet full of crumpled taxi receipts when filing expenses.
Taxi Magic works only in cities where its developer, RideCharge Inc., has established relationships with cab companies. Service has launched in Vancouver, says Sanders Partee, co-founder and president of RideCharge in Alexandria, Va., and will be rolling out to more Canadian cities over the next few months.
Taxi Magic is free for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.
Trip Cubby
David Barnard, founder of App Cubby in Austin, Tex., says he developed this simple mileage log app because his wife, who travels a lot for work, was tired of scribbling odometer readings on scraps of paper and losing them. With travel reimbursements running at 55 cents a mile in the U.S., Mr. Barnard says, "if you drive a small, efficient car, you can make good money by tracking your mileage."
A Trip Cubby user can enter any two of the starting odometer reading, ending odometer reading and distance travelled, Mr. Barnard says, and the app will calculate the third. If your employer is happy with just the distance and doesn't require actual odometer readings, you can enter that.
A key point about Trip Cubby is that it will export data into an Excel spreadsheet or send an Excel-compatible spreadsheet directly from your phone. Mr. Barnard says many users file monthly travel logs directly from their iPhones.
Trip Cubby is $2.99 (U.S.) from the App Store.
Gas Cubby
Also from App Cubby, this iPhone app may appeal to those whose travel is mostly in their own cars. It calculates fuel economy based on data you record when buying gas and keeps a record of maintenance. Gas Cubby is $2.99 from the App Store.
DocuSign Ink
While many of the problems that come with constant travel have to do with the travel itself – like arranging transportation and tracking expenses – others arise from never being in the office. Signing documents, for instance. DocuSign Ink turns a mobile device into a tool for putting virtual pen to paper.
DocuSign, from DocuSign Inc. of San Francisco, can make a bitmap image of any document from any device with an Internet connection – computer, tablet or smartphone – and send it to people who need to sign it. The recipient can not only insert a digital signature but also add other required information. DocuSign Ink mobile apps make this possible on iPhone, iPad and Android smartphones.
If sender and recipient agree to use DocuSign, says Dustin Grosse, the company's senior vice-president and chief marketing officer, the signature is legally binding. DocuSign can also be used to sign a document received as an ordinary attached PDF file.
DocuSign Ink is available free for iPhone and iPad and for Android smartphones. A browser-based version of DocuSign works with BlackBerry and Windows Mobile.

Quinnipiac University seeks an Executive Director of its Ireland's Great Hunger Museum (An Gorta Mór - The Great Hunger). The Executive Director is responsible for the development, execution, and management of the policies, programs and initiatives of the Ireland's Great Hunger Museum, slated to open its doors in Fall 2012.
Ireland's Great Famine or The Great Hunger, as it is more commonly referred to today, ranks among the worst tragedies in the sweep of human history. Between 1845 and 1850, approximately 1.5 million Irish men, women and children died of starvation or related diseases.
The extensive collection is comprised of paintings, maps and sculpture, including works by Padraic Reaney, John Behan, Rowan Gillespie, Glenna Goodacre, Niall Bruton and Kieran Tuohy. The modern collection is complemented by period pieces by such artists as James Brenan and Jack Yeats. A new building to house the collection is being completed near the Mt. Carmel campus and is slated to open in Fall 2012. For more information, please see: http://www.thegreathunger.org/
The position reports to the IGH Museum Board of Directors.
He/she will also provide general supervision of all day-to-day activities of the Museum, and all of its employees, interns and volunteers. He or she will develop further awareness of the Museum and create relationships that will result in increased financial support from external funders.
The Executive Director must have the proven ability to advance the Museum into a flourishing organization that possesses the resources to fulfill its mission and potential for national and international recognition. The successful candidate will have a proven track record in non-profit management, finance and fund raising, ideally in an arts/museum organization.
Strong written and verbal skills are essential, particularly public speaking, as is the ability to comfortably operate in the public arena. Evidence of working with the public, with a Board of Directors, and an academic community is also important.
An advanced degree in Irish studies, museum studies, or art history, as well as 5-10 years experience in a museum or non-profit arts organization are preferred. A strong commitment and passion for the educational and artistic mission of the Ireland's Great Hunger Museum are essential.
Please submit ONLY your resume/CV and a thoughtful cover letter that describes how your experience meets our qualifications as well as your experience with or interest in Irish heritage, culture, art or history.
Applicants who will be considered further may be asked to submit additional information at the time they are contacted.
Only applicants who submit through our online application system will be considered. Please do not contact our staff directly for this purpose. Thank you.

This kit looked easy and I have wanted to learn how to fly for along time, so I asked my dad if I could do the review on it. He said it looked like a good kit for me to review, so I was excited and began to work on it right away.
Kit Contents
In the box contained two battery packs, a battery charger (wall-type slow charger), a screw driver, extra screws, two props, the wing, the tail, the fuselage (with motor, speed control, and radio components installed), the instructions, the radio, and an instruction video. This plane is intended to be flown as a rudder/throttle plane, but there is a mounting location available for an elevator servo if the builder would like to upgrade the plane later.
The instrutional video shows you how easily the plane assembles, how it flies, and some tips on getting the plane to fly well.
Power System
The power system is included and already installed in the plane. We don't know what kind of motor it is, but it's smaller than a Speed 280. It seemed to have sufficient power for this kind of plane, though.
All I did for the wing was screw it on. The wing is one piece and all foam. It has a plastic post that goes in to a hole in the forward bulkhead, then a screw fastens the back of the wing down to the aft bulkhead.
Tail Surfaces
For the tail, I put the stabilizer in place then screwed the stabilizer post down to hold the assembly. I put the elevator adjustment wire in place and tightened it up (actually the wire gets fitted before the stabilizer is mounted). The vertical fin/rudder is already installed and hooked up on the fuselage. We bent the wire a little to help trim out the rudder before flying it.
Landing Gear
I put the landing gear into the slot in the fuselage, then I put the landing gear cover on top of that and screwed it down. The landing gear is a single wire/wheel unit that simply protects the prop in landings.
For the prop I just pushed it in.
The included radio is a two channel, two-stick unit. The left stick moves fore and aft, and is used for the throttle in this plane. The right stick moves left and right, and is used for the rudder. The transmitter requires 8 AA batteries. The speed control and servo are proportional items, just as with more expensive units.
We made our first test glides in our back yard, and it flew perfectly right from the start. It appears to be tail heavy, but the glide was nice so we decided to proceed (plus, you have to add a lot of weight to get the balance right).
We used an adapter to charge the batteries on my Dad's peak charger. They appear to be 110 mAh batteries, but I'm not certain of that. It would take quite a while using the wall charger, but my dad's charger got them ready in about a half an hour each. Now we just had to wait for some nice weather to go flying!
It flies nicely, but you have to be careful not to hold the rudder to long - we had a few accidents when the Zoom pilot spun in. The foam was damaged, but we repaired it pretty easily with foam-friendly CA and plastic packing tape. When we launched the plane it would climb, then drop a little, and climb again until it settled into a smooth flight. When the motor quits it just glides in. Flights were short (probably a minute or so), but that may not be a bad thing when you are just learning.
The Zoom Pilot is very easy to build. It can easily be built in 15 - 30 minutes. It comes with every thing you need, even the radio, batteries, and charger. You need to be careful when you fly it, however, not to hold the rudder to long or it will spiral in..

CE Marking and REACH
What is CE Marking?
In existence since 1993, CE marking appears on products traded within the European Economic area consisting of the 27 members of the EU as well as the 3 countries in the European Free Trade Association. The result is to ultimately enable the free movement of products within the European market.
Under the CPR (Construction Products Regulation) no product, manufactured and supplied in conformity with a Harmonised European Norm (hEN) can be placed on the market from 1st July 2013 unless it carries a CE mark.
What is REACH?
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and restriction of Chemicals) is the EU legislation for the control of chemicals. Its aim is to improve the protection of human health and the environment whilst maintain competiveness within the industry.
At Total Bitumen we are fully committed to the implementation of this regulation and have ensured the necessary human and financial resources are available to do so.

Going east on Cote Vertu, it is allowed to turn left on Beaulac, and going north on Beaulac is it allowed to turn left on Cote Vertu going west.
Each segment is correct on the current map but in reality, a sign forbids making a U-turn at that intersection (from Cote-Vertu eastward to westward)
There is no way to indicate this ? Waze wants us to do this U-Turn.
Thank you

It's all about the SEC this weekend, as No. 1 Florida plays at No. 4 LSU and No. 3 Alabama plays at No. 20 Ole Miss.
The SEC and Big 12 each have six of their teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll this week, but the SEC's teams are ranked higher.
[poll id="5″]
And at this point in the season, at least, they look much better.
SEC teams make up nearly one-quarter of the Associated Press Top 25 poll. There are six SEC teams ranked this week: No. 1 Florida, No. 3 Alabama, No. 4 LSU, No. 17 Auburn, No. 20 Ole Miss and No. 25 South Carolina. Georgia fell out of the Top 25 after losing to LSU 20-13 at home last week.
We'll find out Saturday night which SEC team moves to the top of the BCS national championship race. LSU hosts defending BCS national champion Florida at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La., and Alabama travels to Ole Miss in a key SEC West game.
Arkansas helped the SEC's stock by blasting Texas A&M 47-19 in Arlington, Texas last week.
2. Big 12
Like the SEC, Big 12 teams make up nearly one-fourth of the AP Top 25 poll. The Big 12 also has a six-pack of its teams ranked this week: No. 2 Texas, No. 15 Oklahoma State, No. 16 Kansas, No. 19 Oklahoma, No. 21 Nebraska and No. 24 Missouri.
But at this point in the season, the Big 12 looks more like SEC Lite. Only Texas looks like a legitimate national championship contender at this point, after Oklahoma lost its second game of the season, 21-20 at Miami.
Three Big 12 North teams are ranked, but they might end up knocking one another off, which would probably keep them out of the BCS title hunt.
Oklahoma State's season seems to be spiraling out of control, after star receiver Dez Bryant was ruled ineligible this week by the NCAA.
3. Big Ten
No. 9 Ohio State remains a fringe contender in the BCS title race, and No. 12 Iowa could really help itself by beating Michigan at home on Saturday.
No. 14 Penn State is the only other Big Ten team that's ranked this week, but undefeated Wisconsin could join the ranks by winning at Ohio State on Saturday. Victories by Iowa and Wisconsin this weekend would set up the Big Ten's biggest game between those teams on Oct. 17 in Madison, Wis.
4. Pac-10
It's No. 7 USC, No. 13 Oregon and … Stanford? California has fallen off the map, and the Cardinal continue to make huge strides under coach Jim Harbaugh. Stanford beat UCLA 24-16 at home last weekend, handing the Bruins their first loss of the season. The Cardinal play at Oregon State on Saturday night, and a trip to Corvallis, Ore., is never easy.
Washington could have really helped the Pac-10's stock by winning at Notre Dame, but the Irish eked out another close win, 37-30 in overtime. The Huskies will try to improve their place in the Pac-10 pecking order when they host 3-1 Arizona on Saturday night.
The ACC really needed a marquee nonconference victory, and Miami delivered with its one-point victory over the Sooners. No. 5 Virginia Tech still seems to be the ACC team to beat, but the No. 11 Hurricanes and No. 22 Georgia Tech are coming on strong. The Yellow Jackets picked up another solid non-ACC win last week, beating Mississippi State 42-31 on the road.
Last week's results proved the ACC is still pretty balanced, but it doesn't have many very good teams. North Carolina lost to Virginia 16-3. Maryland beat Clemson 24-21. Boston College defeated Florida State 28-21, dropping the Seminoles to 0-2 in ACC play.
We'll see how good surprising Boston College really is after the Eagles play at Virginia Tech on Saturday night.
6. Big East
No. 8 Cincinnati and No. 23 South Florida look like the Big East's best teams, followed by West Virginia, which beat Colorado 35-24 last week. Pitt was able to get back on track with a 35-10 rout of Louisville on the road.
We'll find out what the rest of the league's order looks like after this week. Connecticut plays at Pittsburgh in a game that could go a long way in determining which of those teams is legit.
7. Mountain West
It was another pretty bad week for the MWC. Nevada walloped in-state rival UNLV 63-28. Air Force lost to Navy 16-13, in a key service academy game. Idaho continued its surprising start with a 31-29 win over Colorado State.
No. 10 TCU remained perhaps the best non-BCS hope, and the Horned Frogs play a potentially difficult road game at Air Force on Saturday. Utah plays at Colorado State.
8. Conference USA
C-USA took a couple of big hits last week. Houston, which had visions of being a BCS buster, was routed by UTEP 58-41. Southern Miss, which looked like the league's second-best team, lost to UAB 30-17. It was the Blazers' first-ever victory over the Golden Eagles.
But both those teams can earn a little redemption against teams from BCS conferences this week. Houston plays at Mississippi State, and Southern Miss plays at Louisville.
WAC teams picked up a couple of big wins last week. Idaho beat Colorado State at home, and Nevada rolled up a staggering total of 773 yards of offense against UNLV.
The WAC race will begin to really take shape this weekend. Improving Louisiana Tech plays at Nevada Friday night, and Idaho tries to move to 2-0 in WAC play when it plays at San Jose State. Fresno State and Hawaii will both try to avoid a 0-2 start in league play when they play on the island late Saturday night.
It should be an easy weekend for the MAC leaders. Central Michigan hosts winless Eastern Michigan. Temple hosts winless Ball State. Ohio plays at 1-3 Akron. The most competitive game should be played between Western Michigan and Toledo.
11. Sun Belt
Did you think Troy's 31-7 victory over Middle Tennessee State on Tuesday night was difficult to watch? Try tuning into Saturday's game between 0-4 Florida International and 0-4 Western Kentucky.
Troy struggled during nonconference play, but once again sits at the top of the Sun Belt standings with a 2-0 mark. Surprising Louisiana-Monroe also is 2-0.

'WireRing' lamp
Formafantasma / Flos
Price on request
Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin of design studio Formafantasma have always had a penchant for poetic illumination. And this year was definitely a light year for the pair, who presented both an immersive retrospective of their past lighting works, as well as two new lamps developed with Italian lighting giant Flos. Their 'WireRing' wall lamp is a simple idea turned into a functional feat of technology, combining a geometric form with a belt-like LED strip. Available in a variety of colours and finishes, the 'WireRing' lamp is an example of minimal design achieving maximum effect.

'Segment 6' console
New York-based duo Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson side-shifted from fashion and public relations respectively to launch design studio Apparatus in 2012. The pair began by experimenting with vintage lighting parts to create unusual lamps, soon establishing a signature style that merges contemporary geometries, nostalgic touches and an industrial aesthetic. Over the years, they have developed an impressive portfolio of lighting (including the bestselling 'Cloud' chandelier) and branched out into home accessories and furniture. Presented this year, the 'Segment' dining collection is a particularly elegant series of softly rounded tables and consoles. Finished and assembled by hand in New York, they comprise a curving lacquered top balanced on a translucent resin base held together with fluted aged brass hardware.

'Time Machine' clock
Lee Broom
Price on request
Lee Broom's brand turned ten this year and, to celebrate the milestone, the London based designer staged an immersive installation in a disused vault in the Milano Centrale train station, creating a large-scale carousel to display his best designs of the past decade. New pieces were also introduced, such as a traditional grandfather clock carved from a monolithic block of Carrara marble and brass with a design inspired by Brutalist architecture. Broom explains that he has had a long-term fascination with the grandfather clock ever since discovering one at his grandparents' house as a child and becoming obsessed with its mechanisms and majestic appearance. His symmetric version features sleek faceted angles and straight lines, and decoration is kept to a minimum, allowing the simple brass hands and elegant pendulum to take centre stage.

'Minima Moralia' room divider
Christophe de la Fontaine / Dante – Goods And Bads
Launched during Maison et Objet, German studio Dante Goods And Bads' 'Minima Moralia' forms part of the brand's 'Metropolitan Improvemen' collection.

'Face' mirror
Studio CC / Ceccotti Collezioni
Founded in 1988 by Franco Ceccotti, Italian company Ceccotti Collezioni has notched up an impressive portfolio of designer collaborations, working with likeminded creatives such as Todd Bracher, Studio Drift and Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance to build a collection that features undulating wood constructions and tasteful forms. These artistic exchanges have no doubt inspired the Tuscan brand's own creative team, Studio CC. Its pieces, which include beds, sideboards and lighting, are just as exquisite as those created in collaboration with international design stars. The 'Face' mirrors, for example, feature a traditional design that eschews nostalgia in favour of a light frame that blends sinuous curves and straight lines. The mirrors are available in solid American walnut in a variety of finishes, including a special shellac polish.

'Fortress' vase
Lara Bohinc
Price on request
These geometric vases by designer Lara Bohinc take their initial cues from the octagonal towers at the Diocletian Palace in Croatia. Unlike the building's standard eight-sided form, the 'Fortress' vase collection creates new interlocking hexagonal shapes that turn into the complex sculptures.

'Mirror Mobiles'
Elkeland Studio
From DKK 1,150
Danish studio Elkeland have released a new range of geometric mirror mobiles.

'Valsusa' armchair
Four different geometric shapes make up the latest design by French studio Pool. Launched recently at Operae festival in Turin, Italy, with the support of Gallery S Bensimon, the 'Valsusa' armchair has two contrasting finishes: plush blue velvet for the seating, arm- and backrest, countered with an oak leg sheathed in a tough, rustic hide.

'Credenza Soie' rug
Patricia Urquiola / Cc-tapis
Fusing Patricia Urquiola's contemporary design aesthetic with the art of Le Dictateur founder Federico Pepe, the cc-tapis 'Credenza' collection is an unexpected amalgamation of many ideas. Traditional technique and abstract graphics have been brought together for a modern take on stained-glass. Here applied to the 'Credenza Soie' rug, the patterns are handwoven from Himalayan wool and pure silk.

'Zodiac' shelving
Nichetto Studio / Zaozuo
from ¥88
Centred around a hexagonal metal framework, Zodiac is a multifunctional modular display system. Paired with attachable polyurethane accessories, its elegant geometrical networks form complex constellations, serving as a shelving device, mirror and coat hook. Nodding to its astrological namesake, Zodiac offers a sophisticated play with its web of lines to act as a sleek artistic wall hanging, as well as a multifunctional system.www.nichettostudio.com
Linear dispenser
Dimitri Bähler
Taken from Dimitri Bähler Studio's Volumes, Patterns, Textures & Colors (VPT&C) collection, this linear dispenser is the outcome of a series of decorative experimentations. A unique bidimensional pattern on the surface of the yellow and pink dispenser plays with volume, while Bähler's self-developed glaze offers a unique texture. The result is an active demonstration of a series of techniques, and an original dialogue between functionality and non-functionality, minimalism and decoration.

'Ruban' square mirror
Inga Sempé / Hay
French designer Inga Sempé is known for her light, playful creations, and her 'Ruban' range of mirrors for Danish brand Hay is no exception.

Large sculpture
The largest of the two pieces which make up AYTM's 'Moles' collection, this piece can be used as both a bookend and sculpture. Crafted from concrete, the sturdy block cuts a contemporary silhouette, while its rough surface offers a beautiful contrast to the rounded edges.

'Palladio' console
Claesson Koivisto Rune / Artifort
A series of simple tables with classic proportions, Swedish architecture and design practice Claesson Koivisto Rune's Palladio collection for Dutch company Artifort is a colourful expression of minimalist design. The tables, such as this slender console, are characterised by the subtle joint between the legs and the top, developed by Artifort's in-house engineers. 'We were equally inspired by the work of the Venetian master of Renaissance architecture Andrea Palladio and the minimalistic sculptures of American artist Donald Judd,' explain the designers.www.artifort.com
Boris Klimek / Lasvit
Based on a fascination with transparency and perception, Boris Klimek's 'Lollipop' collection of tables and lighting for Lasvit is at once playful and functional. Experimenting with the technique of slumped glass, Klimek has combined organically-shaped glass plates with a metal holder and an inserted light source to produce the 'Lollipop' pendant light. The result is a stunning centrepiece light that also offers a beautifully distorted view of reality through a turquoise lens.

'Papillon' wall light
Bernhardt & Vella / Arflex
An appliqué light that plays with transparency, colour and geometry, 'Papillon' was designed by the Milan-based studio of Ellen Bernhardt and Paola Vella as part of a collection that also includes a series of room dividers in a similar style. The asymmetric light is formed of contrastingly coloured glass shapes with two LED strips held in place by a brass axis. It's the first glass project by Arflex and an elegant addition to the company's eclectic furniture range.www.arflex.it
Tasse Ciment Haute
Frédérick Gautier / Serax
Crafted from cement stoneware, Frédérick Gautier's teapot and mug collection for Serax pays tribute to architecture and the many materials that have enabled humanity to survive. As such, the roughly hewn surface of the 'Tasse Ciment Haute' is reflective of the primitive imperfections of manmade matter, while the simplicity of its elongated rectangular handle is a continuation of the elementary shapes found throughout Gautier's work.

Sam Hecht and Kim Colin / Emeco
'Run' marks the first collaboration between designers Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, the duo behind Industrial Facility, and American furniture manufacturer Emeco. The range encompasses shelves, tables and seating, all in aluminium, with the option of wooden-plank surfaces, and is suitable for use indoors and out. 'Welcoming and useful', as Hecht describes it, the range may be fitted with accessories – ash wood bookends or a stand for plants and objects – that slot into the 'run' or groove between the planks.www.emeco.net
Mario Ferrarini / Living Divani
For the first mirror in the Living Divani collection, the company enlisted Como-based designer Mario Ferrarini, who played with balance and geometry to create 'Galileo'. Available in two sizes – 60cm or 90cm in diameter – the mirror is suspended by a thin steel wire and resembles a giant pendulum, poised to swing. Its imposing size is contrasted by the lightness of its form and the brilliance of its bronze finish. Looking glasses don't get much better looking.www.livingdivani.it
'Hesperide' letter sorter
Carsten Gollnick / Schönbuch
Never lose a letter again: as part of the Hesperide collection, designed by Berlin-based Carsten Gollnick for German manufacturer Schönbuch, this oiled walnut letter sorter is the perfect entrance area accessory. Keeping neat and tidy has never looked so good.
Available from WallpaperSTORE*www.store.wallpaper.com
Designed by Arcahorn's creative director, Filippo Dini, this pair of bookends consists of two lacquered wood blocks – each the size and shape of a small coffee table book – on sleek stainless steel bases. Each of their edges has been adorned with two pieces of finely polished dark horn. Part of Arcahorn's gift collection, the bookends are handmade in Italy by the brand's skilled craftsmen.
Available from WallpaperSTORE*www.store.wallpaper.com
Dan Yeffet / Veronese
From €1950
Paris-based Dan Yeffet presents this subtle lighting fixture that merges two elegant materials: Murano glass and marble. Shaping the piece as if a refined vessel, the symmetrical model hones in on the quality of the materials with sleek curves and its circular grey or tobacco edges. The minimalist design allows for its size to get experimental with a colossal version available at 111cm, making 'Highlight' an ornamental addition to the room.www.veronese.fr
Dimore Studio / Bitossi Ceramiche
Dimore Studio delved into the rich history of Bitossi Ceramiche for their 2016 collaboration. Taking its cues from the Fondazione Vittoriano Bitossi archive, they melded together brass and ceramics, a classic mix for their vases that they make contemporary with their abstract silhouette. Available in a strong contrasting palette of teal, black, red and pink, the playful sculptures can appear ornamental on a table setting, fitting anything from flowers to cutlery.

Nojaa and Ojentaa
Mari Isopahkala
Price on request
A collection that takes its cues from the Dutch De Stijl movement, these playful wooden lights were designed by Helsinki-based designer Mari Isopahkala. The abstract sculptures are available in tall or short table version and all embody simple wooden silhouettes, with some of their angular planks painted in a pop and a contrasting pastel tone. Intended as lighting, but acting more as artistic decorations, their additional LEDs may not aid illumination, but lend to its whimsical framework for another dimension.www.mariisopahkala.com
Herringbone vase
Phil Cuttance
The best vases are more than mere vessels for beauty; they stand on their own as sculptural pieces or defiant design. The Herringbone vase by Phil Cuttance is one such design. Unveiled at Salone del Mobile, this angular piece is the result of Cuttance's continued interest in 'creating visually complex three dimensional forms, in a relatively "lo-fi" way.' Individually hand-crafted in his London studio, the cement composite shows a history, however innocuously, of the process behind its making.www.philcuttance.com
Shaping colour
Germans Eermičs
Netherlands-based studio German Eermičs started at colour for this shelf as opposed to the shape, as the name suggests. Keeping the shape utterly simple and minimalist, he focused on the intense variation of hues that make up the piece. Made up of clear glass that is connected together at the curves, it has a console, shelf and mirror in the collection that all combine frosted, graduated, smeared colours.

'I Will Separate Religion and State'
Ultra-Orthodox, a woman and No. 6 on the Meretz list, Tzvia Greenfield has no qualms about criticizing her sector.
Hakablan St. in the luxury ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Har Nof in Jerusalem is considered a Shas stronghold. The neighborhood is home to party leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and ousted party chairman Aryeh Deri. If Meretz manages to win one more Knesset seat than the surveys are predicting, however, that party will also have a Knesset member from Hakablan St., and a woman at that: Tzvia Greenfield, who has a doctorate in political philosophy, No. 6 on the Meretz list. The ultra-Orthodox press and ultra-Orthodox journalists reacted with more than a little outrage to the fact that Greenfield defines herself as ultra-Orthodox. Ultra-Orthodox journalist Kobi Arieli wrote an article for Maariv's NRG Web site, entitled, "She has a dog," devoted to proving the claim that Greenfield does not answer the social definition of ultra-Orthodox. Arieli contended that just as dog ownership attests that a person is not ultra-Orthodox, so too, does not detesting Meretz.
Greenfield, 59 and a mother of five, says she is "ultra-Orthodox, American style."
"You will find a lot of American-type ultra-Orthodox in Har Nof," says Greenfield. "They are highly educated and some even have a television in their homes, but they maintain a strictly ultra-Orthodox lifestyle, including the centrality of Torah study, a certain mode of dress, a certain order to their daily routine and the observance of Shabbat and Jewish Festivals in a particular style."
Greenfield relates that an ultra-Orthodox reporter once asked her the ultra-Orthodox litmus test question, if she takes elevators on Shabbat.
Well, do you take elevators on Shabbat?
"Of course not."
But you have a dog?
"Many years ago we found an injured puppy that had been hit by a car and we raised it in our home. He was with us for 17 years, but has since died."
Did you take him for walks on Hakablan Street?
"That's not an unacceptable practice," explains Greenfield. "In the local ultra-Orthodox society it is a very rare phenomenon, but there are more than a few American ultra-Orthodox who immigrated with their dogs and there are a considerable number of national religious families with dogs in the neighborhood. When you walk down the street and there are children around, they go wild, because from their point of view, dogs belong to a foreign and threatening environment."
In Har Nof there really are a lot of Anglophone ultra-Orthodox, but Greenfield was born in Israel and graduated from a Beis Yaakov ultra-Orthodox girls seminar. Even so, she enrolled at Hebrew University, where she studied general history and philosophy, two fields of knowledge considered unacceptable and dangerous by ultra-Orthodox society.
"I was not the only one who did this," says Greenfield, "but we were certainly few in number." Greenfield notes that usually people of her generation who attended university stopped being religious.
"I remained ultra-Orthodox, and people do not understand this. It disrupts their categorization."
Working is important
Greenfield sees two main differences between the ultra-Orthodox in Israel and in the United States. One is that "in the U.S., there is a basic assumption of a separation of religion and state." She feels that in Israel, too, "in order to save Judaism there must be a separation between religion and state." The second difference is that "most of the ultra-Orthodox in the U.S., men and women alike, have a good education."
The result of education, says Greenfield, is that many American ultra-Orthodox internalize a whole universal and democratic value system, which Israeli ultra-Orthodox society does not understand.
"The problem of not going out to work," continues Greenfield, "is the worst fault of ultra-Orthodox society, and causes tremendous damage on every level. It is important for us to go to work and maintain a life of Torah and productivity."
Greenfield says that people in ultra-Orthodox society "do not understand that it is impossible to impose their value system on others. When I say that I am in favor of civil marriage and divorce, I do not mean that that is what I want for myself; I am saying that I cannot force my values on people who do not share this value system. Israel is the only democracy in the world in which a large group of people cannot marry. It is absurd. Where else did you ever hear of such a thing?"
Does that mean that you support equal rights for homosexuals?
"Certainly. Homosexuals and lesbians have the same status as any other citizen, which includes the right to marry and the right to realize any desire and any life plan that does not harm others. Why should I interfere with that? What kind of nonsense is this? Anyone else's right is not inferior to my right. It is a position that protects the rights of the minority to the deepest level. That religious society does not understand this is terrible, in my opinion. Just terrible."
No vengeance
Five years ago Greenfield published a book (in Hebrew) called "They Are Scared" (Yedioth Ahronoth, 2001), which sharply attacked ultra-Orthodox society. Meretz is using Greenfield's religiosity in its new campaign, in which posters declare "I believe in God, but I will separate religion and state." Even so, Greenfield says, "Apart from the occasional insults in the newspapers, I have never personally or indirectly encountered any unpleasant or hurtful remarks. I think that people on my street highly respect me. Since I was chosen for the sixth slot in the Meretz list, they exhibit even more respect. People apparently perceive me as a type of empowerment [of the ultra-Orthodox - S.I.] in the outside world, and this arouses respect."
Greenfield notes that her husband is a popular doctor in the ultra-Orthodox sector.
As important as it is for Greenfield to clarify that she is ultra-Orthodox, it is important for her to clarify that she is not national-religious.
"The whole world of Zionist Jewry's thinking is foreign to me," she says.
Particularly foreign is the view of the State of Israel as part of the Messianic process. In order to avoid any misunderstanding, Greenfield stresses that she is a Zionist with all her heart and soul.
"I am very, very, very [Zionist]," she declares. "I think that Israel is the most important Jewish historical event in the past two thousand years. But I do not associate any theological importance to it."
Greenfield is an unusual ultra-Orthodox politician not only because she is a woman, but also in her attitude toward rabbis. In her book, "They Are Scared," she accuses the great rabbinic leaders of this generation of "enflaming zealousness and hostility and widening the deep rift in the Jewish people."
"I don't hide my opinion that rabbis do not do the Jewish people much good," she told Haaretz. "They are not efficient leaders. In order to preserve their positions of power, they prevent change."
Not that her family does not seek rabbinic advice on halakhic questions. When there is a halakhic question, the Greenfields ask the rabbis among their neighbors.
Did you ask a rabbi whether you should run for the Knesset?
"Of course not. There is no reason to do so. Why would it be important? I can assure you that the Rambam did not ask a rabbi if he should be Salah a-Din's doctor. The problem is that the applicability of halakhic questions has expanded terribly and now includes all aspects of life. The areas about which people ask questions have grown with no rhyme or reason."
Baby machines
In "They Are Scared," Greenfield lambastes the Halpert Law, which increased child allowances for the fifth and subsequent child to NIS 850 a month. She claims that the law was passed by all the non-Zionist, ultra-Orthodox and Arab Knesset members alike, with the support of the Likud.
"This law," writes Greenfield, "actually discriminates against the working population whose taxes finance the welfare systems, and which is also the only population whose children serve in the Israel Defense Forces. Even worse, this law reinforces the ultra-Orthodox tendency to turn ultra-Orthodox women, or children, into a source of income. From the moment the income of an ultra-Orthodox family is dependent on the number of its children, there begins a necessary campaign of persuasion, even if covert, in which unbearably intense pressure is exerted on women - the possibility of having fewer children is no longer an option, and ultra-Orthodox women often have to find an escape in nervous breakdowns in order to reduce the incessant pressure on them to become 'baby machines.' Indeed, women, along with the children, are the hardest-hit victims of the ultra-Orthodox lifestyle."
Are children a source of income?
"I firmly believe this," says Greenfield. "There is no doubt that when the main source of income is the number of children, it would be ridiculous and hypocritical not to realize that this is a significant and important factor. I have heard more than a few men talking about the day they go [to the bank] to get their allowance. That is their payday."
Greenfield also feels, however, that it is important to clarify that the allowances are not the only grounds for having children, and the other reasons are very complex.

The watch was a gift from my father. He just arrived from Batam last night. I didn't like it at first, since it got that bling-bling brand says "Chanel" on top of it, but I like the shape. Then my acrylic paints rattled and whispered "use me" in a husky voice. ha ha so I took white and black. Within minutes the annoying brand's gone.
Now I like 'em better.

Farming with arthritis
Farmers are always on the go. Working all day and climbing in and out of machinery can take a toll on joints. Arthritis is the most common chronic disease in the U.S., and it's important to be aware of it before it's too late.
Arthritis reduces mobility, physical strength, and the ability to complete routine tasks. This can mean daily changes in joint pain and mobility, which can affect completion of even the most basic farm chores. Kerri Ebert, coordinator for the Kansas AgrAbility Project says treatment and care should be directed by health care professionals, but simplifying chores and using assistive solutions can help reduce joint stress.
Joint damage cannot be reversed, but modifying tasks and equipment can help prevent further damage. To accommodate arthritis-related limitation on the farm, Kansas AgrAbility encourages farmers to consider assistive technology solutions:
• Use wheels to move feed, tools, or other equipment to eliminate heavy lifting and carrying. Wheeled assistive devices range from a simple wheelbarrow to a motorized utility vehicle or golf cart, depending on needs and budget.
• Use extended handles on tools to help conserve energy. Less force will be needed to manipulate objects.
• Choose ergonomically designed, lightweight tools to reduce joint stress, pain, and fatigue.
• Use spring-loaded, self-adjusting, or ratcheting tools to reduce pressure on joints while increasing leverage and force with minimal pressure.
• Add mirrors to the inside and outside of tractor cabs to reduce the need to twist to see out the back window.
• Install spinner knobs and handles to help with limited grasp and range of motion on the steering wheel. Thicker grips on hand tools also help with grip.
• Place cushioned mats on the floor in workshop areas to help reduce joint and back pain.
Many farm-related tasks can be modified slightly so a farmer with arthritis can perform them more easily, Ebert said. It is important to develop an effective treatment plan with a medical professional, follow the plan, and respect your body's limits.

natural bath & beauty products
This is my premier soap. I call it Heaven and Earth. Six oils, ground oatmeal and lavender, and goat's milk I get locally make it soothing to the skin. It also features a wonderful essential oil combination of vanilla and sandalwood.
The addition of ground oatmeal and Grade One lavender makes it slightly abrasive, so it's a wonderfully exfoliating facial bar.
The cocoa color is natural, due to the oatmeal and vanilla added. There is no water in this bar. I've made it exclusively with goat's milk from Findlay, Ohio's Cracked Eggs Urban Farm.
Ingredients: Goat's Milk, Coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, vegetable oil, castor oil, almond oil, sodium hydroxide, ground oatmeal, ground lavender, and "French Vanilla" fragrance oils. No artificial colors added.
Each bar is 3.25"x3"X1" and weights 4.85-5 ozs.

This is my first post and I hope I have the formate correct, I live and build in central Pennsylvania. I built a house in 2004 using what I thought were the best practices at the time to insure it was tight and very well insulated. Took great pains to properly vent all bathrooms, dryer and range. I used Tyvek house wrap and a 6 mill vapor barrier on walls and ceiling. Used a pre-fab basement wall system that creates a very dry basement. Customer works for a propane gas co. and had a high efficiency gas hot air system installed. They are having a very hard time with condensation on their windows in the winter. They are very unhappy with me because they feel the house is to tight and I should remove the plastic vapor barrier. The only thing I changed was using Crestline windows instead of Anderson. As a side note I built 6 new homes using all of the same building techniques in my area and had none of these problems. We have discussed the use of exhaust fans allot and they assure me they use them. It is just Mom, Dad and a teenage girl so not an excessive amount water usage. What should the RH be in the winter and should I just buy them a de-humidifier. Oh, Yea they do have a heat recovery system they use when the temp reaches 50 degrees. Any help would be welcome.
Views: 21104
Everything in the US is more complicated. For one thing, we have either longer heating seasons or longer cooling seasons. We have much bigger homes. Most homes have an air-handler HVAC system and the ventilation system is often integrated into the existing ductwork which often requires a large, inefficient air-handler fan to operate in order to distribute fresh air.
In the CARB study, with three new highly-efficient and tight houses, the three tested ventilation systems (including associated air-handler consumption) used 4309, 3714 and 263 kWh/year respectively, with the last being two 20W bath exhaust fans running 67% of the time, which translated to $398, $379, $76 annual cost deducting for gas savings from heat recovery for the first (with electricity at $0.10/kWh).
This may be obvious, but the worst humidity problem I've seen in a tight house was caused by a whole house humidifier set on high.
A house in winter is dry only if it's leaky. So "correcting" the problem by running a humidifier to add moisture to the air that's leaking out, will increase interstitial condensation and potentially cause mold and rot.
Other prime culprits are damp basements or crawlspaces, unvented clothes dryers, lots of cooking without using a range hood, lots of showering without using an exhaust fan, lots of aquariums or potted plants, or drying firewood indoors. Jacuzzi parties also don't help.
My point was, the humidifier was running when the house was already too humid. The house was tight.
I was going to say what Chad said. Somebody should make sure that they don't have a humidifier running.
I'd still like an answer to the question that Chad hasn't offered. Why do people run humidifiers if the house is already too humid? There must be a reason they think it's too dry.
Robert, I think Chad was suggeting that the humidifier might be running and they don't realize it is running. I would assume somebody has checked this out, but just in case it is worth confirming.
I agree. I suspect there's not one in a million who could give a number for proper indoor relative humidity (including most building professionals), but I would also think that most people would know that when there's water running down your windows it's too humid inside.

I'd only moved to Hong Kong a couple of weeks before, but already I recognized my fellow marchers. Six days a week, these migrant workers are the city's "domestic helpers" amahs in Cantonese earning about $450 a month as maids, nannies and cooks in nearly 200,000 Hong Kong households. On Sundays, thousands of Filipinas take over the commercial hub, the Central district. They swarm sidewalks and elevated walkways to spend their sole day off picnicking, playing cards, singing and swapping gossip. If you linger long enough, as I did my first week, you're sure to be offered tea and snacks.
For a couple of past Sundays, however, the amahs have also marched. They're protesting new legislation in the Philippines that requires maids who work overseas to undergo two weeks of official training and tests. The $300 associated cost comes out of the amah's pocket, which is what has Hong Kong's Filipinas up in arms. They're quick to note that they already pay the government placement fees while, at the same time, Hong Kong officials cut their minimum wage by $50 a month two years ago. "How will we afford this on our small salaries?" asks Dolores Balladares, the march's organizer. "Our government just wants to make our lives more burdened and more miserable."
The Philippine government counters that the new licensing rules will allow Manila to more closely monitor the domestics they export and therefore protect them from abuse. Says Rosalinda Baldoz, administrator of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, "We are tired of hearing stories of Filipino maids being attacked in the face with a hot flat iron by her employer." Across Asia, rampant reports of imported workers suffering inhumane treatment include inadequate wages, verbal and physical assault, even rape. Last month, leaders of the Association of South-East Asian Nations, meeting in the Philippines, also took similar steps to regulate and aid the region's millions of migrant workers. According to Manila's argument, workers accredited with specific skills would not be vulnerable to such attacks. They have also limited the training and licensing fees to new applicants for domestic jobs. Labor organizers argue that it is these young workers who can least afford the new fees.
Back in Hong Kong, the amahs are known by the Tagalog nickname bayani. As we walked toward the Philippines consulate, they explained to me that it translates as heroine, which is what most of these women are to the family and friends they've left behind. Plagued by poverty and unemployment, the Philippines has exported about 8 million workers, the vast majority of whom are women. In the first half of last year, these mothers, sisters and daughters sent home more than $8 billion in remittances, roughly 10% of the country's GDP. That dollar figure is expected to double by 2010 and doesn't include probably another couple billion in cash brought by suitcase. "I have two sons. My heart is broken to leave them," one amah, Ana Tellez, told me. "But there is no work at home. We'd starve if I wasn't here." My bean cake, which I had hungrily finished just minutes before, quickly sank to the pit of my stomach.

Friends & Neighbors
Christine Burnside wears many hats at Emmanuel Community -- and recently, she has put on one more.
Since December, Burnside has been the coordinator of volunteer services at Emmanuel. A three-year member of Emmanuel's administrative team, Burnside will continue to coordinate its health information and quality assurance programs as well.
Volunteer service is an important part of the equation for Burnside, who wholeheartedly embraces a philosophy that has come to be known as "the Emmanuel way."
"From our leadership to our direct care staff to our volunteers and Auxiliary members, the culture here is definitely family oriented," she explained. "We all need each other."
Burnside, who calls herself "a native of both Callaway and Lake Park," having spent her early childhood living in Callaway and her teen years in Lake Park, is no stranger to the lakes area. Yet when she moved to Detroit Lakes several years ago to take a job at St. Mary's Regional Health Center, she felt like one.
"I was single, and didn't know that many people," she said.
It was through volunteer service that she finally started to feel at home in the community.
"My orientation to volunteering was buttering buns for a funeral at Holy Rosary Church," she said. "I felt so welcome. The crux of volunteering is about serving, and reaching out.
"I was there for the family (of the deceased) that day. In return, I received so much... It's a civic duty, but also an honor, to give back to society. I truly believe we all belong to each other."
Emmanuel Community de-pends heavily on its volunteers, Burnside added, to be able to provide the high level of care it gives to those who live on its campus, which includes Emmanuel Nursing Home, Lamplighter Manor and The Madison Senior Housing.
"We all work hard here," she said. "We have an awesome team... it's truly a family."
Burnside's duties as volunteer coordinator include matching those who volunteer with the programs or services that match their own interests and skills.
"Volunteering is about more than just filling in a body," she explained. "It's about bringing your talents, experience and special gifts to the (Emmanuel) family."
As part of her duties as volunteer coordinator, Burnside also works with the Emmanuel Auxiliary, which operates the facility's gift shop.
"The gift shop is right across the hall from my office," she said. "I'm a frequent customer. Some great people work there, and they're wonderful to visit with."
Burnside feels working with Emmanuel's volunteers blends well with her quality assurance duties, which involve making sure Emmanuel maintains its high standard of care and quality of life for those who live there.
"Every team member at Emmanuel participates in quality assurance," she added. "It's totally a team effort -- great people who give great care."
Christine and her husband, Jon Burnside, who works as a medical services coordinator at Lakes Homes, Inc., reside in Detroit Lakes.
She holds a bachelor's degree in health services administration from Minnesota State University Moorhead, and an associate degree in medical administrative support from Minnesota State Community & Technical College (formerly Northwest Technical College).
Her previous career experience includes working at the Mahnomen Health Center as a certified nursing assistant and ward clerk before "moving over to the business side" -- medical records. She also spent six years at St. Mary's Regional Health Center, including two years in medical records and another four hears as an administrative assistant in St. Mary's Nursing Center. She will celebrate her third anniversary with Emmanuel in June.
Burnside is also an active member of Holy Rosary Catholic Community, Kiwanis, the Advisory Board for Minnesota State Community & Technical College's Medical Support Programs as well as the Advisory Board for Minnesota State University-Moorhead's Health Services Administration Program. She is a member of the American Health Information Management Association.
