Coil heat exchangers are simple and easy to manufacture. Here, we consider an axially wound coil of copper carrying hot water that heats air inside of a circular duct. Since the geometry is almost invariant about the centerline, the model is solved in the 2D axisymmetric plane. Additional expressions are added to compute the temperature drop between turns of the coil, which greatly simplifies the modeling.Read more ⇢

When using COMSOL Multiphysics on a Floating Network License, it is possible to use the Client-Server mode of operation to access remote computing resources for solving large models, while still using the graphics card on a local machine to display graphics. This can have some significant advantages, so let's look at Client-Server mode in more detail.Read more ⇢

Most numerical simulation methods (finite elements, finite volumes, and finite differences) require stabilization methods when modeling transport applications driven mainly by convection rather than diffusion. With the Finite Element Method (FEM), stabilization means adding a small amount of artificial diffusion. This leads to more robust and faster computational performance. Here, we provide insight on the impact of stabilization on your numerical model. We also look at an alternative numerical method that is very efficient and does not require any stabilization.Read more ⇢

The Wall Distance interface is used to calculate the distance to a wall in the turbulent flow interfaces available in COMSOL Multiphysics. It can be combined with any other interface and comes in handy when we need to calculate the distance to the nearest wall or detect, as part of a dynamic model, when a moving object will hit a wall. Today, we will study how the Wall Distance interface works and how other interfaces can benefit from its capabilities.Read more ⇢

Many of us need up-to-date software and hardware in order to work efficiently. Therefore, we need to follow the pace of technological development. But, what should we do with the outdated hardware? It feels wasteful to send the old hardware to its grave or to just put it in a corner. Another, more productive, solution is to use the old hardware to build a Beowulf cluster and use it to speed up computations.Read more ⇢

From an installation point of view, the main difference between a COMSOL CPU-Locked Single User (CPU) and Floating Network License (FNL) is how they are installed and managed. However, the FNL not only offers every single benefit of a CPU license, but also enables several additional features while greatly enhancing your workflow, allowing COMSOL Multiphysics to scale with your company's growth.Read more ⇢

To keep up with today's fast-paced development cycles, R&D engineers and scientists need efficient tools to provide answers quickly and free them from routine tasks. COMSOL Multiphysics® has built-in features like parametric sweeps to increase simulation productivity. In addition to graphical modeling, COMSOL offers an Application Programming Interface (API) that you can use to automate any repetitive modeling step. Here's how to get started with the COMSOL API for use with Java®.Read more ⇢

Being able to compute the spatial gradients of the magnetic field or magnetic flux density is needed in areas such as radiology, magnetophoresis, and geophysics. One of the most important applications is in the design of magnetic resonance imaging machines, where it's important to analyze not only the field strength, but also the spatial variation of the field. Today's blog will demonstrate how to compute and plot the gradients of the magnetic field in 3D electromagnetic simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics.Read more ⇢

Have you ever used your hands to make shadow puppets on the wall? By shining a light behind your (three-dimensional) hands, you create two-dimensional projections on the wall. When analyzing your simulation data in COMSOL Multiphysics, you can do something similar with your model using projection operators.Read more ⇢

Integration is one of the most important mathematical tools, especially for numerical simulations. Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are usually derived from integral balance equations, for example. Once a PDE needs to be solved numerically, integration most often plays an important role, too. This blog post gives an overview of the integration methods available in the COMSOL software and shows you how you can use them.Read more ⇢

BU Today: Latest Headlines
- Sexual Misconduct Trainings Roll Out November 21, 2014One in five women is sexually assaulted while in college, and only 12 percent of survivors choose to report the crime to authorities, according to a recent White House report. The statistic is particularly meaningful when one considers that 60 percent of BU's 30,000-strong student body is female. University officials had those numbers and more […]
- Suicide Loss Survivors to Gather Tomorrow November 21, 2014In 2013, an acquaintance of Emmy Parks killed himself for unknown reasons. His death still weighs on her. "I think it's because I was pretty much at the peak of my depression when it happened my senior year of high school—I was afraid that I would hurt myself, and it stuck with me," Parks (CAS'16) […]
- Holiday Etiquette: What You Need to Know November 20, 2014It's Thanksgiving and you're off to meet, and break bread with, your significant other's family for the first time. Confused about house gifts, sleeping arrangements, phone etiquette? BU Today asked Miss Conduct, columnist for the Boston Globe magazine, to weigh in on some common dilemmas.
- Renowned "Poet of the Personal" to Read Tonight November 20, 2014When Sharon Olds' 32-year marriage ended in 1997, she did what she has spent a lifetime doing: she picked up her ballpoint pen and began to chronicle the experience in the wide-ruled spiral notebooks she keeps for diary entries, drawing sketches, and, most important, writing poems. Over the course of a celebrated career that has […]
- Nightlife: Parla November 20, 2014Parla, the North End bar and eatery that opened last April, draws on Prohibition-era speakeasies for inspiration, but it does so with a decidedly Italian twist, an homage to the neighborhood's ethnic heritage. Many of the cocktail and menu items pay tribute to famous Italian Americans (one cocktail is named Sacco & Vanzetti) and the […]

Find Friending Facebook on CNET
Friending Facebook may be dead but Facebook has started a new chapter as a public company. As such, I am still writing about Facebook, just over at CNET.
Emil Protalinski covers Facebook from all angles, closely watching it grow from its $50 billion valuation in 2010 to its internally stated goal of becoming the first trillion dollar company.
Emil is a freelance journalist writing for CNET and ZDNet. Over the years, he has covered the tech industry for multiple publications, including Ars Technica, Neowin, and TechSpot.
Friending Facebook may be dead but Facebook has started a new chapter as a public company. As such, I am still writing about Facebook, just over at CNET.
Today, I am Unfriending Facebook. No, I am not leaving Facebook. I am closing down Friending Facebook. Thank you to all of you for reading, sharing, and Liking my articles for the last 15 months.
Facebook's rules state if there are 7,000 comments on a new privacy policy, the company has to take it to a worldwide vote. Activists made sure that threshold was broken. Are you ready to vote?
Facebook has acquired social gifting startup Karma for an undisclosed sum. This is the first acquisition Menlo Park has made as a public company: the first of many to come, I'm sure.
Facebook was priced at $38. On day one, the stock saw a high of $ 45, a low of $38, and ultimately finished at $38.37. Why didn't it fall below the $38 mark, even though it tanked twice?
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a short speech before he rang the Nasdaq bell remotely from his company's headquarters in Menlo Park. In short, he's happy, but not ecstatic.
Facebook is now a public company. Will the stock go up, or down? The social networking giant has started trading shares on the Nasdaq under the "FB" ticker. Be honest: you're a little excited.
Facebook is once again being sued for tracking its users even after they logout of the service. The latest class action lawsuit demands $15 billion from Facebook for violating federal wiretap laws.
Facebook is going public. Will the stock go up, or down? The social networking giant has a valuation of $104 billion, which making it the largest U.S. company, by market value, at its IPO.
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has done a very minimal amount of programming since 2006. In 2012, however, he is aiming to write some code every single day.

Harley's cruiser V-Rod has been about since 2001, and the new Muscle is… is just another styling exercise to bolster what is arguably a tired range. The Muscle is essentially a reworked V-Rod with design touches (muscular, flowing lines) to front it up as a serious boulevard traffic light blaster. Except it isn't that muscular – 12.25sec standing quarters anyone?
1584cc, 110bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 14
Harley's Wide Glide dates back to the seventies. The new for 2010 bike retains the old-school low-rider looks of long, raked and wide-spaced forks (hence the name Wide Glide), skinny front wheel and minimalist bulk. But what makes the new bike far superior is it has modern handling and ride quality due to frame and suspension updates. The rest of ...
18cc, 67bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 15
If you're wondering about the Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob's name, it comes from the 'bobber' fashion in the custom world inspired by the post-WWII movement which saw ex-military Harleys chopped down with low seats, fat tyres and Ape hanger bars. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob, based on the ubiquitous Super Glide, takes this minimalism to the limit with a low seat, classic Fat ...
1584cc, 67bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 15
Another Harley staple aimed at riders with traditional tastes who are looking for a machine that's both comfortable and easy to handle. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider combines a low seat, mid-mounted foot controls and pull back bars for easy comfort. Like all 2007 Hogs it also benefits from the new 1558 engine, too.
1449cc, 67bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 15
The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard has classic Harley looks and technology for the custom fan who wants the authentic American experience. The Softail family has concealed rear suspension for a hard-core 'hardtail' look. The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard was discontinued for 2007. Compared to later motorcycles, the main differences are that it hasn't got the latest air cooled engine and other minor refinements.
1131cc, 115bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 17
Harley goes high-tech after decades of just updating their lovable antiques. The Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod was the first of Harley's VRSC 'Rod' family. The Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod's water cooling, loads of power, handling that could embarrass a badly ridden sportsbike and brakes that stop fast were totally novel on a Harley. Diehards refuse to accept them but the Harley-Davidson VRSCA ...
1584cc, 65bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 15
Definitive Harley. If retro-style cruising is your thing, the Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy has all the right bits in the right places, from the big Milwaukee V-twin motor to the characteristic disc wheels and even the badge on the tank. Not the most versatile or comfortable of Hogs, but the Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy is almost certainly the best looking.

As part of GET ME IN!'s commitment to customer satisfaction:
Head judge and much loved Take That star Gary Barlow has been hotly tipped to be writing the X Factor Winners single. Barlow, who made an extensive career for himself from writing songs for artists in the 10 years following Take That's split in 1996, seems like an ideal candidate to create an instant pop classic given his skill and expertise. A spokesman for Gary has however said: "It has been talked about but it is way too early to tell what's going to happen with Gary, and him writing any of the finalists' songs, including the winner." Writing the song could see tens of thousands in royalties given the popularity of the show and the battle for the coveted Christmas number 1 spot, which has been held by X Factor winners for 5 of the last 6 years.
Simon Cowell has promised that this year's X Factor, which starts on August 21st 2010, will be less about the judges' personalities, and more about the quality of the acts.
Syco Music and Sony Music will release a compilation album featuring the likes of One Direction, That That and Beyonce.
The X Factor has announced a number of new shows on the X Factor Live 2015 tour.
Pharrell Williams and Taylor Swift have been confirmed as the first stars to perform during the X Factor Live shows.

L'Auberge Chez Francois
Online Reservations
This bright room enhanced by an abundance of natural light streaming in from stained-glass and "walls" of windows, is perfect for afternoon weddings, showers and just any-occasion private luncheons. A favorite for area private annual appreciation luncheons, this room is also ideal for graduation celebrations as well as those milestone life events- anniversary celebrations and "special" birthdays.
With its pastoral views, manicured gardens and peaceful fountains, the outdoor terrace at L'Auberge Chez François is a desirable setting for outdoor wedding ceremonies. Enjoy buffet hors d'oeuvres in this serene setting, before moving in to one of the dining rooms for a delicious meal. The terrace is an ideal location for intimate weddings, corporate cocktail parties and any other occasion, when you just want to escape from all the daily distractions of living in a metropolitan area.
Welcome to our premier private dining room, accommodating parties that range in size from 25 to 50 guests. In addition to the welcoming fireplace, the room is flooded with natural light until sunset, when you are then treated to a spotlight-lit meadow and organic garden. This room lends itself to audio-visual and power point presentation style dinners, ideal for guest lectures hosted by pharmaceutical companies, financial seminars, recognition dinners and holiday celebrations.
Part of the original restaurant, this room was designed for smaller corporate dinners, bridal luncheons and birthday parties. This room has been lovingly decorated with hand painted murals, antique clock, classic paintings and collector china brought back from one of Mr. François' many Alsatian "buying" trips. With windows overlooking the Garden Room, outside meadow and a unique fireplace, you will have a sense of being part of the hustle-bustle of the restaurant, but in your own "cozy" room.
The latest addition to L'Auberge Chez François, Jacques' Brasserie offers a casual setting for cocktail parties, private dinners or even a special occasion luncheon. Coupled with the new "Jacques' Bar Rouge" and expanded outdoor patio, transport yourself and your guests to "Alsace". Decorated with a mix of "old and new", you can be assured that an event held in this "Vinstub-style" venue will be enjoyed and remembered by all!

Another one of our L8S ANG3LES exhibit artists is in our viewfinder again - Greg Gorman has an exhibit up called "A Distinct Vision" 1970-2010. (click on "Greg Gorman Exhibit" on the left for more info)
As some of you may recall, Greg was one of the 8 featured photographers in our inaugural exhibit and gave a memorable IRIS Nights lecture. This new retrospective show featured several rooms filled with prints
from arrays of tabloid-size portraits
to super-sized prints that dominated huge swaths of the wall.
including a nearly life-sized series of Gorman's favorite subject,
Tony Ward
The exhibit had a gala opening at the Pacific Design Center on Sept. 15th with a very well-attended party featuring some of his famous subjects, an array of
stylish friends
... and
- of course
Mr. Gorman himself!
Other faces in the crowd included Julius Shulman collaborator Juergen Nogai and his better half Jeannie.
The show only runs through Oct. 29, 2010, so you still have a chance to get out before 5 p.m. on Friday if you want to see it.
Scroll down for some more images from the opening.
My favorites were giant contact sheets.
What an incredible peek behind Gorman's iconic images. It's actually amazing when you see that he seems incapable of taking a bad shot!
Here are a few more portraits:

As new energy efficiency programs proliferate, regulators increasingly will seek to use the associated demand reductions to reduce capital expenditures on new transmission and distribution assets...
Building the Next Generation Utility
Fundamental changes require bold strategies.
on a path toward a significant shift in energy and environmental policy. Even though greenhouse gas (GHG) legislation will provide much-needed certainty, the path forward remains complex. The government has to balance environmental demands while managing a significant budget deficit and an economic recession that leaves little room to increase rates. This dilemma was illustrated in the way multiple renewable portfolio standard initiatives were defeated in the ballots, including Proposition 7 in California. Clearly, companies in the industry will have fewer degrees of freedom in shaping their generation portfolios as regulation and legislation play an increasing role in mandating standards and fuel types, in some cases defying fundamental technological constraints.
In the short term, energy efficiency and conservation provide the most cost efficient and highest impact solution to addressing the environmental challenge. In the medium to long term, there will be a gradual evolution of the generation portfolio, with coal, gas, nuclear and renewables all playing a significant role in powering the nation.
• Theme 1: As renewable energy sources increase, winning utilities will need to be at the forefront of shaping the renewable generation landscape. The new administration is pledging more than $150 billion to be invested in clean technology over the next ten years. The question facing the industry is not whether this will have a significant impact, but rather how a utility should position itself to reap the benefits from one of the most promising growth drivers for the U.S. economy. Clean technologies will reshape the energy industry in the same way the Internet reshaped the IT industry. Winning utilities cannot afford to remain in the mainframe age as new entrants reap the benefit from clean tech growth.
Utilities will need to take a proactive stance toward a renewable strategy. An analysis of research and development (R&D) spending shows that while utilities represent 5.23 percent of U.S. capital spending, they only account for 0.067 percent of U.S. R&D spending. Although much of the R&D in the industry is performed by equipment manufacturers, the DOE and academic centers, utilities will have to take greater control over the evolution of technology. They will need to work with start-ups and research centers to drive and understand how to leverage new technology into their portfolios. In addition to centralized renewable sources, customer-driven distributed generation will play a core part of the country's future renewable portfolio, and will provide either a competitive threat or an opportunity for growth.
• Theme 2: Gas will be the transition fuel of choice over the next 10 years or more. While demand for power will grow at a much slower rate, the industry needs to alleviate pressure on reserve margins and baseload capacity over the next 10 to 15 years. This will be compounded as old coal and dual-fuel units continue to be retired to meet new environmental regulations. In the short to medium term, new load requirements will be filled by natural gas for three reasons. It is the only option with short enough construction lead times, allowing utilities to meet immediate power requirements and alleviate short-term

Brit model of the moment Jourdan Dunn, 18, shot into the fashion stratosphere barely a year ago - and now has crowned a stellar year by winning Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. The story goes that she was discovered in Primark by Storm Model Management whilst larking around with a pal trying on sunglasses. As the first black model to walk for Prada in 10 years for AW08 she grabbed many a headline whilst race replaced weight as the issue of fashion week. She has since been a cover girl for i-D, Pop, British Vogue and snapped up the covetable position of cover for the Vogue Italia Black issue earlier this Summer. She even received standing ovations at her shows in Paris - it's no wonder when you check out her perfectly sculpted face and endless legs! Dubbed the New Naomi Campbell - Dunn, a west London teenager has also been the face of Gap and Topshop for AW08 . Although fully embracing modelling, Jourdan would like to study Business when she goes back to education, so that she can set up a modelling agency to promote different races.

National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy
National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy
Recent Activity
This discussion focuses on the MPI report, "Executive Action on Immigration: Six Ways to Make the System Work Better," which outlines administrative actions that can be implemented to improve the immigration system.
This report provides an overview of several commonly used translation and interpretation technologies. It aims to assist language access practitioners in understanding and identifying which systems would best meet their agency's language access needs.
In 2010, based on changes to the DREAM Act legislation pending in Congress, MPI issued revised total and state-level estimates of the unauthorized youth and young adults who might be eligible for conditional legal status, updating its DREAM vs. Reality fact sheet.
This fact sheet, based on analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey, documents the top languages spoken by English Language Learners (ELLs) nationwide and on a state level.
This important MPI report challenges the conventional wisdom about the immigrant workforce, using a sophisticated new method of analysis that permits deeper examination of how workers – immigrant and native-born – fare by economic sector, the skill level of their jobs, and educational attainment.
Repealing birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children of unauthorized immigrants, a step discussed in some circles as a means to reduce illegal immigration, would significantly increase the size of the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States, from 11 million today to 16 million by 2050, this brief reveals.
Despite conventional wisdom that the U.S. immigrant workforce is shaped like an hourglass—wide at the top and the bottom but narrow in the middle— in reality immigrants are more evenly dispersed across the skills spectrum. This report shows that the fastest growth in immigrant employment since 2000 has occurred in middle-skilled jobs.
Over 5.3 million U.S. students during the 2007-08 academic year were enrolled in English Language Learner (ELL) programs. This fact sheet examines the states and districts with the highest number and share of ELL students and offers a detailed breakdown of key statistics.

Attending: Nick McDonough, John Brandt, Wynn Cudmore, Matt Thorburn, Bob Hansen, Susan Morre, Orville Rice, Ed Cavaille, Brian Carrol
Susan said she has been working to forge partnerships with local growers and increasing seed collection. She is also working in vegetation management with Public Works.
Matt introduced Brian Carrol, from Linn County, who was attending today's meeting to speak with the group about park user fees and other revenue ideas.
Update on activities since summer 2001:
Aumsville public meeting & parking lotMatt said he thought everyone had been mailed a letter regarding a public meeting that was held in Aumsville with community members regarding Aumsville Ponds Park. He said comments were shared with all, but all community concerns were concerns shared by the department. Neighbors were concerned that the park remain a natural area and that there be more security and/or patrols provided. Matt said there is going to be camp host site built so a caretaker can live on-site during the summer. Also, we will be working with the Sheriff's department. This will work with the Public Works providing radios to the sheriff's office, and the sheriff's office providing increased police patrols. Matt said during the meeting there was a lot of common ground and the key is to follow-up on the relationship with the community by hiring the camp host and increasing the patrols. Susan asked if there is going to be another public meeting. Matt said that there is not another meeting planned at this time. Bob said in the future there might be a contract in place regarding patrol services provided by Aumsville Police Department. He said there is not a restoration plan in place for the park, but said he thought Susan and Matt would be responsible for this after he retires.
Bob said there was some concern about the water level and the need to design what is "happening" on this property. He said the department would like to take a look at what was done in the past when it belonged to ODOT and perhaps do some redesign. Wynn said that surprisingly there is very little flooding in this area because there is natural spillway.
Orville said Public Work's constructed the parking lot and it cost approximately $12,480.00, with Alternative Programs installing the gates at a cost of $3,000.00. There have been some boulders donated. The lot is about 90% done, with 2-3 days of work needed. The work has been slowed because of inclement weather. Orville said the department is very confident about the gates installed by Alternative Programs.
Bonesteele Restoration
Bob said we have sold some seed which was harvested from Bonesteele to both the City of Portland and USFW. We are working to provide seed not just for Marion County, but also to other agencies doing restoration work in the Willamette Valley. Susan said several agencies have expressed an interest in purchasing seed from us as it becomes available.
John asked if Bob would remain involved with Parks to insure this project keeps moving ahead. Bob said the current contracts are for 6 years, and he hoped to assist Matt in taking over this particular portion of the department's work. Wynn said the initial plan for planting was to use an experimental area, and he asked Susan if a good plan had been developed to work in larger areas. Susan said they did solarization, smoke treatment and tilling. Tilling and spraying worked best, with seed drilling. She said they did some testing with smoke treatment and non-smoke treatment and saw no discernible difference in germination, so smoke treatment was discontinued. We have moved away from hand distribution because the seed drill worked so well. Susan said they did the seeding in a checkerboard pattern with grass in one direction and forbs in another, with a small layer of sawdust over the top. There were also prescribed burns done at Bonesteele this past summer. Willamette students did a count of acorns and now they were will be watching to see how the regeneration goes.
Nick asked how the drought affected Bonesteele. Susan said it didn't affect it much, except for some grass plugs that were recently planted. These needed some supplemental irrigation. Susan said she is very open to ideas from Wynn and the opportunity of working with his students. He said he has some ideas for Aumsville. She said there was some thinning of the oak woodland because they were so crowded. Matt said there were two burns done, with the first not being very successful, the second was successful but very hot. He said in the future it might be better to work with the Nature Conservancy on how to conduct a prescribed burn. Nick asked if there was any research regarding burning during the European era. Matt said during this era they did annual burns. It was suggested that we do this to recreate natural environmental history.
Susan said what would determine how soon we could finish the rest of the acreage, is the seed supply. The neighboring farmer will spray out his commercial crop and then do a no drill tilling. Bob said we were very aggressive in our seed collection, with Susan, Lynda Boyer and Shoulder-to-Shoulder Farms. In the future, the work will be more focused with fewer people, and this may be better for the wildlife. The focus will be on harvest and weeding. John asked how successful the volunteer programs have been out at Bonesteele. Susan said there have been 2 Saturday volunteer work days this fall and will be 3 more in early spring. Bob pointed out the display of Susan's planting at Bonesteele. This is available on the department web page. Bob said he thought we had spent $10,000 for 50 lbs. of seed. Susan said a lot of the seed sells by the ounce.
Hayesville mitigation
Acquisitions: Lake Labish, Koenig Property, Stout Mountain, Way Park
The Koenig property is a piece of property being negotiated for by the River Conservancy (which is getting BPA money), working in coordination with ODFW. What was initially worked out is that Marion County becomes the owner of the property and takes over management when it has the resources. Until then ODFW will manage. At this time ODFW is asking why they were spending their money and the county is not. The deal has not been completed due to these questions by other agencies. This property is part of the Santiam Delta. Wynn asked if Chemeketa students surveyed this property. Bob said they may have done a survey when they did Wiseman Island.
In acquiring Way Park all that is left is to schedule and complete a road tour for the Board of Commissioners to show them the 2 acres. Matt said what we have planned for this park is perhaps a canoe launch.
Bob said Stout Mountain is a unique, environmental piece of property and the Nature Conservancy is attempting to negotiate something with the property owner. It has not been successful at this time. He had a video from Oregon Field Guide that highlighted Stout Mountain. This property is 600 acres. The group then watched the video, which gave a good overview of the property's attributes.
Day Use Fees - Brian Carrol, Linn County Parks:
Orville asked if they staff parks for collection of the day use fees. Brian said there are 2 employees that work from Memorial weekend through Labor Day weekend. He reiterated that due to liability issues, it was important that these fees be called parking fees and not entry fees. John asked about the Recreational Immunity Act, and if it is lost if you charge a entry fee. Brian said this was a gray area, but parks are held to a higher standard for the use of that site and their culpability is higher. He said that if day use fees are implemented, he wanted everyone to keep in mind the possibility of potential liability issues.
Wynn asked about the revenue taken at Lewis Creek and Brian said this amount does not take into account expenditures. It may not generate the revenue level wanted, but it does take care of the problem with cruising in the park. He commented that his staff does not have citation authority if someone does not pay a day use fee and parks their vehicle at the park.
He said Washington County is doing something interesting with day use fees. They adopted an ordinance at Hagg Lake area in which all persons must have a pass if they are doing any recreation activities. Anyone can be cited if they don't have a pass. Washington County has an annual pass and daily pass. He said they have generated in day use revenue what Linn County generates in camping revenue. He qualified this by saying this is also a volume issue. He said the one caution he has regarding day use fees is the question that when it comes to taking in day use fees, is it going to cost you more to collect them? He said it will be specific to the facility and in his estimation it is nice to offset some of your expenses. Orville asked if they receive General Fund money. Brian said they receive General Fund monies of approximately $350,000, depending on the revenues brought in (last year they brought in $339,000, and are on track to bring in $360,000 this year). They do not have any Service District Charges (SDC's, which are all rural). He then gave some background/history on the fee structure implementation and what has been done with these dollars.
Their total operating budget for Linn County Parks is approximately $750,000 (compared to Marion County's budget of $130,000). He said they collect $340,000 in fees, but without General Fund dollars, they could not operate as they now do. They would keep the larger campgrounds open and probably close the outlying areas. They rely on seasonal employees, who work for minimum wage from Memorial weekend through Labor Day weekend. Most of their budget is devoted to development and maintenance, because of the push to become self-sufficient.
He said that overall, the public is accepting of the camping fees, but struggle with the day use fees because they feel their taxes should have paid for this. He said RV licensing fees are going down and that trend will probably continue. This is based on the number of campsites in your county, the number of RV's in your county. Bob said he had a sense of this trend, and said the loss of dollars while not significant will hit this county very hard. Brian said there are creative ways to do day use fees, but the tough issue is citation authority. Brian encouraged the group to talk with Jerry Davis at Benton County regarding park fees also. Matt thanked Brian for attending and sharing this information with the Commission and staff.
Revenue - ideas on increasing parks revenue stream:
Nick said in regards to the day use fee, he recommended trying it out on the most popular park. He recommended bringing this to the Board of Commissioners as a revenue idea or a levy.
Matt spoke about donation ideas. Bob said he thought we had a responsibility to communicate our financial situation to the Board. He said their understanding is that we are operating on a lower level, but the truth is that it is lowering. Wynn said we may be somewhat at a disadvantage because we are acquiring undeveloped parks which will not bring in RV fee monies. Susan said in some of the educational opportunities we are partnering with schools to provide living labs at our natural parks and that $2 per person (levy) is money well spent. Wynn said he thought we should try to advertise or publicize accomplishments or milestones reached. Matt said he would follow up with a more in-depth analysis of the budget so board members can have a clearer picture. John said he recommended sending info as an FYI to the BOC. Bob said it wouldn't hurt to have the Chair of the Board come to the BOC and give a 5-10 minute presentation on the parks program.
Maintenance activities & CIPs for 2002:
Volunteers - ideas on recruitment and retention:
Bob's Retirement:
Bob suggested that the Parks Commission write a letter of support for signature by all members, regarding the actions and efforts of the parks program. All attending said they would sign such a letter.
Other issues:
Bob spoke about the proposed soccer field for the Parkdale (Hayesville) property. He said as this project progressed, it became a fiasco, but after the article in the Statesman Journal was published the developer found another property off Fisher Road. The developer has had his fundraisers identifying themselves to the public as representatives of "Marion County Parks Foundation." This matter was turned over the Marion County Legal Counsel and it is being handled by their office.
Bob said Public Works/Parks hosted a Society for Ecological Restoration-Northwest (SER-NW) conference on November 9, 2001.

Interview with The Surrey PR & Marketing Manager Elizabeth Curlee
A) The philosophy of The Surrey focuses on authentic service tailored to the individual preferences of our guests. From a favorite bottle of wine, to tickets to The Whitney Museum of American Art; experiences at The Surrey are comprised of carefully crafted moments we hope will create long lasting memories.
Q) Can you explain what makes The Surrey appealing to travelers as a vacation destination?
A) Situated in Manhattan's sophisticated Upper East Side neighborhood, The Surrey has won the hearts of style-icons, tastemakers and art aficionados the world over. Just steps from Central Park, guests have access to luxurious shopping along Madison Avenue, world-renowned museums and first-class restaurants. As New York City's only Relais & Châteaux hotel, we showcase amenities like no other. The space hosts a collection of 31 original modern art works, including works from Chuck Close, Claes Oldenburg, Jimmie Martin and other modern masters. While in residence, guests can relax with a personalized treatment at Cornelia Spa; see inspiring panoramic skyline views from our 17th floor private roof garden; delight in a cocktail at Bar Pleiades or enjoy a meal at Café Boulud.
Q) Are there any "must-try" dishes or drinks at the resort that guests should order?
A) During the summer, the Signature muddled-lemonades in The Surrey's Private Roof Garden cannot be missed. You pick your spirit, add in your favorite herbs, fruits and spices, and we will serve it up with crushed ice and a beautiful garnish. When the weather cools down, cozy up in Bar Pleiades with a piping Hot Toddy, with a blend of spicy and sweet that will keep you warm during the frigid winter months.
Q) What are the three things about your property that guests may not know?
A) 1 - The Surrey is the only Relais & Chateaux hotel in New York City in more than 20 years.
2 - The Surrey offers the Posh Pets program, a special package for guests traveling with their pets that includes a Surrey monogrammed bed, all-natural dog treats from Bocce's Bakery, in-room biscuit menu, food and water bowls, and a take-home toy.
3 - Cornelia Spa at The Surrey opened in July 2012, offering guests a curated treatment menu paired with botanical tastings.
Q) Can you take me through what a guests stay would be like and what an average day might entail in terms of activities, etc.?
A) Awaken with a morning breakfast in your salon prepared by Michelin-starred Café Boulud. Refresh in the afternoon with a Caviar & Oxygen Reparative Quench facial at Cornelia Spa. Then make your way downstairs for cocktail hour at Bar Pleaides with a signature Old Fashioned before heading out for a New York night on the town.

I haven't done a "what I wore" type of post in a long time. Looking back at previous posts here, I realize that this might be only the third of its type on this site.
This pic was taken on Saturday and I'm not sure what to call the look. Perhaps the Bay Area is having its influence on me!
Sweater, Forever 21 clearance section
Dress, Forever 21 by way of Goodwill
Shoes, Chelsea Crew 'Malibu' (similar in Mustard here)
Socks, a nice thin wool blend that I wish I had more pairs of
Glasses, the Thatcher (in Whiskey Tortoise) from Warby Parker
Headband, unknown
MAC lipstick in Hang-up
Since I work in a blue collar-y shop-like environment most of the time, I seem to overdress whenever I have a day off these days.
You should see the condition of some of my work clothes. Battery acid can eat holes in your sweaters and jeans, which is why you won't find me wearing any of my fancy stuff there. Most work days find me in inexpensive and/or old jeans, random old Threadless shirts, wearing Doc Martens, Adidas, or inexpensive boots on my feet. Comfy and pricey insoles are a definite must!
I need to stop looking at hair pics from 2009-2010, for sure. Otherwise, I will be forced to go back to this, which I miss so much.
It's totally ok to go the grocery store in your Batman pajamas, wearing a faux fur stole and yellow headband from H&M. Skull shoes from Target.
Her birthday weekend shenanigans were delightful and fun and I can't wait until next year.

Our first test of Kawasaki's new W800 suggests that Britain's own Triumph, after for five years having things all its own way in the 'retro roadster' class, has a new, real rival on its hands. Not only is the Kawasaki W800 cheaper and better specced than its closest Bonneville rival, the Kawasaki's uprated engine means there's now no discernible performance ...

When you think of roses, you probably think fragrance, beauty, softness, but how often do you think vitamin C, vascular system or capillaries? During World War II, the English government organized the harvesting of all available rose hips to make vitamin C syrup, since fruits were virtually unattainable at the time. Rose hips are reported to have up to 60 percent more vitamin C than citrus fruit and are rich in bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are important to build and strengthen body tissue. This in turn strengthens the vascular system.
Rose hips are the edible and nutritious fruit of the rose plant, the smooth skin of the hip is first green, then turns shades of orange and when fully ripe, a deep red but might be dark purple to black in some species.
Rose hips are taken by many today as a natural way to get vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin K, and help to prevent and treat various infections, especially colds and flu. Rose hips are also taken to quicken the healing process for bruises and skin irritations. Inflammation and sore throat can find relief with rose hips, which come in capsule form and are usually taken 3 times daily. Women receive extra benefits from rose hips which help uterine cramps, heavy menstrual flow and some breast disorders.
In addition to vitamins C, E, and K, rose hips contain calcium, citric acid, iron, niacin, phosphorus, tannin, vitamin A, B1, B2, and P. As a natural stimulant it gently allows movement of the bowels, as a diuretic they clean the urinary system, as a pectoral they are a remedy for pulmonary and other lung diseases, and as a tonic they strengthen organs.
Stressed and tired? Rose hips can help. Nervousness? Try rose hips for relief. As a matter of fact, rose hips provide innumerable health benefits, from skin to the immune system and to the bladder. Studies have even shown that rose hips can help prevent the development of kidney stones and diarrhea. Additional studies have proven rose hips are helpful to the circulatory system, respiratory system, the thymus gland and as a blood cleanser.
Other health benefits include lowering abnormal body heat, relieving thirst, healing of internal hemorrhaging or spitting of blood, aid for dysentery, strengthens the stomach, prevents and helps relieve chest infections and coughs, cleans the kidneys and bladder, prevents fluid retention, helps with gout and rheumatic conditions and nourishes the skin.

This is a great product. Nice, big pieces of rose hips. I actually buy them for my pet chinchillas as a healthy treat. Chinchillas, like humans, can't store vitamin C in their bodies so they always need a good supply. Plus, they love the taste.

Michelle Williams is known for her delicate pixie crop, but she recently fessed up that she is trying to grow out her short do. She first debuted her signuture gamine style in Cannes in 2010, but now she is facing the long slog of growing it out. She told E News 'I think I'm ready. It's on it's way, slowly but surely.' She joked 'I might want it now, but I'll have it in three years.'
Anyone who has attempted to grow out a crop will know that you have to endure the awkward mid-length, and Michelle agrees: 'The mid-stage is insufferable. It's really hard on your self-esteem.' But Michelle's solution to the growing out blues is to face it with a punk attitude, as she has styled up her slightly longer locks with an asymmetrical undercut à la Rihanna and Tilda Swinton. Michelle's new punky look has a long sweeping fringe falling over her face, deep parting and shorter right hand side.
We love Michelle's fierce new look and have our fingers crossed it will inspire her to brave some edgier designs. Although Michelle can pull off this edgy look, it has been voted as the worst hair trend of the entire 21st century. Eek. As in a survery by professional hair care retailer Fabriah.com who asked 1,000 respondents to name the worst hair trends of the last 13 years - Ri-Ri's undercut came out on top with 20% of the vote.
This look is known as the 'Skrillex' trend, named after DJ Skrillex, and consists of shaving one side of the head with the rest remaining long. Rihanna has tried out every possible version of the undercut, wearing it as a brunette, red head and blonde and with both long extensions and a short spikey crop. But the Barbadian beauty isn't the only star to try out this egy do, as Agyness Deyn, Tilda Swinton, Miley Cyrus and more have all reached for the razor and shaved off one side of their head.
See who else has had an undercut in the gallery below...

text: A couple of weeks ago I thought that I had a file naming issue with my Nikon D7000 the file numbering sequence jumped forward by over 4000 shots. I contacted Nikon Support and they were really helpful and checked every possible cause of the problem. The fault turned out to be was nothing to do with the camera and was caused when the memory card was corrupted after being inserted into my notebook computer. Despite this I was given superb advice and I now have the numbering scheme back to where it should. Well done Nikon. :)
