The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be checked in numerous ways. The client might be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on what is known as the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, specifically in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It must be well remembered that a client with an eye problem might have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can signal the client and the physician to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
One's reliance on sight is highlighted when one deals with a short-lived or possible irreversible loss of this essential sense. When corrective procedures are looked for, particular kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with the truth that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to know. Probably, the main reason this kind of eye surgery has ended up being well accepted is due to the fact that the majority of its cases had actually been successful.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, many people state that the operation can be extremely risky.
In other words, a simple mistake could nearly cause an person's life time loss of sight. It is essential to think about lots of factors prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the ideal restorative measure one has to go through.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgery might fix your vision but it does not always mean that it can offer you a Your Domain Name best vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily indicate they have ideal vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgical treatment the way the majority of people see it
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in several ways. It should be well remembered that our website a patient with an eye problem might have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can inform the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction.

The Life of Constantine with Orations of Constantine and Eusebius.: Chapter XVI
Chapter XVI.—How Constantius, feigning Idolatry, expelled those who consented to offer Sacrifice, but retained in his Palace all who were willing to confess Christ.
On the other hand, Constantius conceived an expedient full of sagacity, and did a thing which sounds paradoxical, but in fact was most admirable.
He made a proposal to all the officers of his court, including even those in the highest stations of authority, offering them the following alternative: either that they should offer sacrifice to demons, and thus be permitted to remain with him, and enjoy their usual honors; or, in case of refusal, that they should be shut out from all access to his person, and entirely disqualified from acquaintance and association with him. Accordingly, when they had individually made their choice, some one way and some the other; and the choice of each had been ascertained, then this admirable prince disclosed the secret meaning of his expedient, and condemned the cowardice and selfishness of the one party, while he highly commended the other for their conscientious devotion to God. He declared, too, that those who had been false to their God must be unworthy of the confidence of their prince; for how was it possible that they should preserve their fidelity to him, who had proved themselves faithless to a higher power? He determined, therefore, that such persons should be removed altogether from the imperial court, while, on the other hand, declaring that those men who, in bearing witness for the truth, had proved themp. 487 selves to be worthy servants of God, would manifest the same fidelity to their king, he entrusted them with the guardianship of his person and empire, saying that he was bound to treat such persons with special regard as his nearest and most valued friends, and to esteem them far more highly than the richest treasures.

Press Release
Dynamite Entertainment announced today that they have partnered with comiXology to roll out two of their titles via the Comics by comiXology iPhone app before the holidays.
Fans can look for Dynamite's Terminator and the Army of Darkness Holiday Special now in the Comics by comiXology app! The free app is available, with over 700 comics, on Apple's iTunes App Store.
"The world is evolving and along with it, the way we purchase and view entertainment, including comics. That's something that we all are adapting to. But there is a 'wow' part, and that is in combining the cool comics Dynamite produces with the work that comiXology is doing and usher it to the brand-new audience waiting to experience our DYNAMITE publications. While we love producing comics as monthly periodicals and collected editions, introducing new fans to comics through the iPhone and other technologies will help to complement and grow the industry. Working with comiXology is a great way to take existing comics and bring them to a new audience, and work to bring that audience back to the comic shops. So, while until now we've been hesitant to do anything that would adversely affect our comics retail partners, the additional features that comiXology adds that allows fans to find out more about the comics stores near them has made this the right time and a win-win for everyone."
"We're incredibly excited to expand Comics by comiXology with Dynamite Entertainment," said David Steinberger, CEO of comiXology. "The amazing titles and work will really shine on the platform. Terminator and Ash are a great start to a full line of Dynamite titles on the iPhone."
The Guided View feature of Comics by comiXology keeps the entire page of a comic intact, unlike other solutions where the page is cut into individual pictures the user browses like a photo application. The app's retailer locator will enable customers to contact local retailers from within the app itself to order the print edition of Dynamite Entertainment Comics.
Fans can review the available Dynamite titles on the web beginning on the aforementioned days here: http://www.comixology.com/digital/publisher/5/dynamite
To download Comics by comiXology from iTunes:

And this is just the beginning as Dynamite closes out the year with these initial offerings and plans to release more in early 2010, stay tuned!

"The bridal suite was very clean and if I must say this hotel needs another star thanks again we will be booking every year for our anniversary."
- Geoff and Rachel, June
"This was the 3rd function we have had at the Beaufort Park Hotel and would give a 5* rating for Lesley who arranged everything down to the last detail."
"Better food would not be found at a top class restaurant (a round of applause for the chef!), service was 1st class too; we were not rushed at the end of our meal. We had 8 rooms which were all very clean, all stocked out with the toiletries, each room had it's own heater and bed's where lovely and comfy. Any more celebrations we have will be at the Beaufort Park Hotel."
"After getting married in Scotland on 24th May, we chose the Beaufort Park Hotel as a venue for our eve reception on 31st may 2014. We had quite a few guest stay over, as well as ourselves."
"We had one of the very lovely honeymoon suites. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The DJ (Gary) was great, the dance floor was never empty! A Big Thank You to all the staff for making our eve one to remember."
"What a great place to get married!! I chose this Hotel as I was very impressed after attending a wedding here a couple of years earlier. I wanted somewhere that had good wheelchair access as both my parents are very elderly and have wheelchairs and I wanted them to enjoy the day with the minimum of trouble for the people pushing the chairs."
"We had the downstairs Bridal Suite and the Ceremony and Reception in the Westminster Suite. The rooms looked beautiful.

"From the time we first booked our special evening, our wishes and expectation were far exceeded. Lesley, listened, took notice and did everything to ensure our evening was perfect. When we first entered the Westminster Suite, it looked absolutely stunning and we were so thrilled to see all the tables set and decorated exactly the way we had requested."
"The staff attending us on the evening were wonderful, the food was served quickly and, above all, it was hot! We had 80 guests in attendance and everyone we spoke to afterwards said how excellent the meal was."
"We cannot praise everyone at the Beaufort Park enough for all they did for us on such a special occasion, nothing was too much trouble and our every wish was far exceeded. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the Beaufort Park to anyone, indeed we already have and another event has already been booked for next year. A special thank you to all of you!"
My husband and I recently got married at the Beaufort Park Hotel and from the second we arrived at the wedding fare right through to leaving the hotel the morning after our wedding we received excellent standards of service.
We were overwhelmed by how helpful the staff were! Even the photographer commented on the décor and attention to detail in the function rooms. If we had have paid twice as much we still would have been happy with the service and venue. All of our guests complimented the food, during the day and evening meals.
Thank you very much to everyone at the Beaufort for making our day as memorable and special as they did.

He could untangle even the most complex crimes, and physical training and skills honed for years allowed him to meet one-on-one with the criminal in a fight.

west rutland marsh - january monitoring report
Sometimes the best comes last. A surprising 17 people showed up for today's monitoring walk around West Rutland Marsh. We are now halfway through our 16th year! Twenty-two species were tallied, one more than last year and four more than our January average.
Many of the 'usual suspects' were seen or heard including singing tufted titmice and 31 very active chickadees. American tree sparrows were also singing parts of their song. Eastern bluebirds were heard and seen briefly in flight.
Our only raptor of the day was a red-tailed hawk, but a pair of ravens was engaged in synchronized aerobatics.
The woodpeckers were represented by hairy, downy and red-bellied woodpecker, the last a species we are seeing more of at the marsh.
A ruffed grouse was surprised by the side of Whipple Hollow Road. So were the birders.
And the best and last bird of the day? An adult bald eagle soaring in lazy circles over the marsh.
Next month's walk is scheduled for Saturday, February 18, at 8 a.m. The walk will be held in conjunction with the Great Backyard Bird Count.
Today's list:
Mallard 2
Ruffed Grouse 1
Bald Eagle 1
Red-tailed Hawk 1
Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) 3
Mourning Dove 9
Red-bellied Woodpecker 1
Downy Woodpecker 4

For those of you who aren't very tech savvy would be wondering what the hell is Hike and why is it being compared with the behemoth Whatsapp. I'll be honest Hike and Whatsapp are not in the same league at all. But, what we are going to do is compare the applications, their markets that they are in and the future of these apps. Hike's existence could be a story that could benefit people who want to enter a market that is saturated and already has a leader. Let's do the comparison of Hike and Whatsapp!
Difference between Hike and WhatsApp
I'm writing this after I've gone through Hike and I'm a bit surprised. It's a great application. It's a lot more colorful and has some really cool features. What I realized with Hike is, they want to create an experience within the application and I think they've succeeded.
Hike Amazing Features
Their entry screen has an Image of all their stickers. Stickers are like emojis, but as you can see, it's more expressive.
Now this has to be mentioned about Hike. They were late to the messenger game and Whatsapp had all the users. So, Hike tapped into the emerging markets where smart phones and data packs are bought. And most of these emerging markets are in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and English isn't as widely spoken as the urban cities. This is why you can access Hike in multiple languages and I think it's a nifty feature. People do not have to resort to using their language with English alphabets.
This is the experience bit I was talking about. Hike has games, news, coupons right inside their application. And it is pretty great.
All the games are free and they are entertaining. There are individual games and games you can play with your friends as well. You can ask the question, if it is really necessary to have it in built when you can get an Independent application? The thing with independent applications is, most of the games are intensive, but the games on hike are simple and it's great for whiling away time.
I also saw a very Interesting feature which is new to Hike and that is Match Up. Match Up is literally a Tinder like option but built into the Hike messenger. With options like this, people will never leave this application. I took a look inside to see how it was and here are the results.
To access Match Up, click on three vertical dots and then click on 'Rewards/Extras'. There you will see that the second option is Match Up.
When you click on that, you'll get the following screen and when you click on 'Get it Now'. Match Up would be engaged.
When you get on the platform you are asked basic questions like your age and who you are interested in. After that you go straight to the section where you can choose to like or deny. There were a lot of profiles with pictures like the one below where they had random pictures in their profile which really doesn't help when it comes to dating and relationships.
I skipped 3 to 4 profiles directly and then I was re-directed to a different page. It was a set of questions so that they could match my replies to what people replied and try to find a connection.
Features like this may not work up to standard but it is quite catchy and can keep users hooked.
Another cool aspect about Hike is they have a Virtual Assistant called Natasha. With this, Hike gives a more immersive experience to its users. You can ask Natasha for the weather or even ask for a joke. A really cool feature is the fake call. If you type #fakecall on Natasha's chatbox then you get a call within seconds with which you can excuse yourself from any situation you want. Is it necessary no? Is it cool, yes! Natasha also provides you movie reviews if you would like one.
Another feature of Hike has been taken from all the other social networks. They provide a timeline where you can see your friend's content, posts and other things. I do not have this feature because almost none of my close friends are even on hike.
This is the big problem for hike. Even if a user(like me) wants to use the application regularly, his or her friends are not on it. You cannot convince your friends to download the application and converse via that. They are not going to do it just because of one friend. I don't know if Hike has any idea of how to solve this, but this does pose a big problem.
Hike has in-built privacy feature where you can lock some of your chats which makes it impressive. So you could password protect conversations with one friend of yours. If the topic of the conversation is private, then you can keep it that way and away from prying eyes.
I just realized I haven't spoke about Whatsapp in this article and I want to cover a new feature they have. Before we get to that, in comparison to Hike, Whatsapp may seem 'Boring'. But it is extremely functional and reliable and has all the right features.
There is a feature called starred messages in WhatsApp, which let you save very important messages that you get from your friends and family. We all share messages like addresses, phone numbers, bank account details etc. These messages can be starred and stored in an accessible place.
These two apps are for different uses. They are for different people. In comparison I would say both are great depending on your personality.

Ever wonder where the Macaron originated? I mean, we all know they are full of deliciousness and everything, but were they always made the way they are now? Or have they changed slightly over the many years of existence? Curiosity took over and I went back in time to see where this delicious French Cookie originated; and here is their story…
Born in Italy, Catherine de' Medici, had her chef make me as a delicious treat before marrying Henry II of France. Even though I was originated in Italy, France took my heart and brought me in as their own, (which is how I associate myself as a "French Cookie"). I was first made as a simple cookie with one crunchy shell, with ingredients that consisted of almond flour, sugar and egg whites. Of course later on I was made into the Macaron you know today, but we'll get to that later.
After exposing myself to the French community I was made famous by these two lovely nuns who sold us to sustain themselves from going hungry. Suddenly the demand for our heavenly taste grew and more vendors sold us to be indulged.
Throughout the many years that we have been on this Earth, it wasn't until the 20th Century that we became a double-decker cookie. Pierre Desfontaines, the grandson of Louis Ernest Laduree (Laduree pastry and salon de the, rue Royale in Paris) had the idea to fill us with a "chocolate panache" and to stick us together as one. Thereon out we have been acclaimed as the best-selling cookie and pastry in France.
Wow, who would have thought that the Macaron originated in Italy? Even though it was originated in Italy, it took storm in France and even a bigger storm brood in the kitchen of Le Parfait Paris. The Macaron shell continues to be experimented today in various ways, but there is nothing like the original.
If you were ever curious to know what we use in our Macarons, well here it is:
- Almond Flower
- Natural Food Coloring Imported from France
- All Natural Sugar
- Fruit Puree made with all Natural fruit flavors (which are dairy free)
These ingredients conclude them to be Gluten Free and absolutely DELICIOUS! It was a great day when the Macaron came to birth!
Your day is always better with a Le Parfait Paris Macaron!

Small Business
Assistant Secretary's Message
Henry Ford once said, "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success." Those words have proven true time and time again. OSHA must work cooperatively with employers, employees, and others to help create a safe and healthful workplace. One of my chief goals is to expand opportunities for aligning resources and working together to strengthen safety and health in the workplace. This collaboration and alignment will produce greater results than the sum of our individual efforts.
The process is simple and straightforward. We start with a shared commitment and a common goal among partners: preventing injuries and illnesses in the workplace. We all stand behind a simple understanding: safety and health add value-to your business, to your workplace, to your life. And each of us seeks out opportunities to work together to identify and control workplace hazards before an injury or illness occurs.
America's workers and businesses deserve our best efforts to reduce injuries and illnesses on the job. To get those positive outcomes, we need to work in partnership.
This summer we celebrate 20 years of success with OSHA's premier partnership-Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP). We estimate our 800-plus sites cover over half a million workers and prevented more than 5,600 injuries in Fiscal Year 2000. As a result, we estimate these sites save more than $150 million annually in direct costs. Those involved in these partnerships would also agree there was additional value derived in improved productivity, quality, and labor/management relationships that may exceed the direct cost savings. Clearly this voluntary partnership offers real gains for both industry and OSHA. We must grow this partnership significantly over the next few years.
Another avenue for cooperation is the OSHA Strategic Partnerships. These partnerships are formal agreements that focus on eliminating specific hazards, establishing comprehensive safety and health management systems, or expanding training opportunities. Today, there are 139 such partnerships involving more than 6,200 employers and covering nearly 216,000 workers. The results of these partnerships are extremely promising. For example, at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin, home of the Green Bay Packers, a partnership calling for a strong safety and health program and daily audits has resulted in 400,000 hours worked without significant injury.
Over the past several months, OSHA has begun a new cooperative venture called alliances. Alliances are particularly appropriate for joint efforts with trade associations, companies, professional societies, and unions. They may focus on training and education or outreach and communication, or help promote the national dialogue on workplace safety and health.
As we move forward on ergonomics, we'll be collaborating with many groups. We're committed to working with all stakeholders as we develop industry-specific and task-specific ergonomics guidelines. We want to start with the best sources of information-employers and workers in the industry who have put effective practices in place and have a track record to prove that these strategies work. We'll publish draft guidelines in the
Federal Register
and request additional public comments.
OSHA will work with some industries to develop formal guidelines. Other industries and companies will be encouraged to develop their own guidelines and implementation process for addressing work-related musculoskeletal disorders, including sharing best practices. Our comprehensive ergonomics plan also includes an outreach and assistance component. Cooperative efforts and partnering will be particularly important in executing this component. Already, we've signed an alliance with the printing and graphic communications industry to promote sharing best ergonomics practices.
OSHA's commitment to work with stakeholders in a variety of partnerships supports Labor Secretary Elaine Chao's promise to improve compliance assistance for all those who seek help understanding rules and regulations. In addition, our new small business office will be a great resource to help businesses get the answers they need on safety and health issues.
OSHA is open to additional ideas for ways to work with stakeholders. We will do anything and everything we can to help employers and employees establish safety and health as a core value for every business every day. We want to be a catalyst for changing paradigms so that a safety and health culture becomes the norm.

1. Alpino Vino
At 11,966 feet above sea level, this charming on-mountain chalet is America's highest-altitude restaurant. It might also be the very best restaurant in Telluride. The restaurant seats only 26 people inside (if you squeeze everyone in like sardines!). There's a wood-burning fireplace and several different nooks and crannies to create a sense of intimacy, despite the cramped quarters. The menu is mostly Italian. At lunch, which is ski-in/ski-out, this means exquisite salumi and bresaola but also a terrific grilled cheese sandwich served with tomato soup. Come dinnertime when the mountain goes quiet, the restaurant is accessible only by snowcat (blankets provided for the slow crawl up the hill.) The nighttime menu goes all out, a prix fixe five-course menu: porcini consomme with mushroom biscotti; ricotta and spinach ravioli with fresh pea pesto and carbonara, for example, complete with sommeliers and sexy hostesses. Skiers: Take the Gold Hill Express, Lift 14; turn left off the lift and ski See Forever, which will take you to the font door. 970-728-7474
2. 221 South Oak
This charming historic house in downtown Telluride is the perfect spot for date night. Chef Eliza Gavin makes some of the best sausage in Colorado, which doesn't sound very glamorous, but she manages to make it just that. Rocky mountain trout is pure locavore perfection. Grilled elk chop, brilliant. The bone-in buffalo ribeye is as good as any USDA Prime steak you'll ever eat. Pumpkin and butterscotch custard pie? Yes please. 221 South Oak St., Telluride, 970-728-9507
3. Chop House
Come nightfall, this is the social epicenter of downtown Telluride. The USDA Prime steaks are excellent. There's also wagyu carpaccio with black truffles, frisee salad with miso-glazed pork belly and creamed corn brûlée. The wine list is deep, with splurge-worthy selections from Harlan Estate, Merry Edwards, Petrus… Lunchtime brings a decent steak frites, but dinnertime is when you really want to be here. New Sheridan Hotel, 231 W. Colorado Ave., Telluride, 970-728-9100
4. Allred's
The views from here are epic — guaranteed to blow your mind. It's no wonder this is the most popular sunset happy hour scene in Telluride. Located on-mountain at the gondola stop (Station Saint Sophia) midway between Telluride and Mountain Village, the restaurant is perfectly accessible with or without skis. This is also the most expensive restaurant in town, naturally. Elk carpaccio. Crumb-crusted rack of Colorado lamb. Sticky toffee pudding. Saint Sophia Station, Gondola, 970-728-7474
5. La Marmotte
Chef Mark Reggiannini serves truly excellent French bistro cuisine with a modern American twist. He stuffs quail with mushroom risotto and serves them alongside red quinoa with hedgehog mushrooms, pine nut oil and quail jus. Duck breast is roasted with vanilla and spiked with kumquats and fennel. 150 San Juan Avenue, Telluride, 970-728-6232
6. Bon Vivant
Telluride's newest on-mountain dining is a fabulous little alfresco cafe. It's essentially just one giant umbrella outfitted with heat lamps, perched on a cliff overlooking the ski basin. But don't underestimate the French-Alps-inspired kitchen. The seared foie gras is perfect, served with house-pickled vegetables. The mushroom soup en croute is a soulful embrace. The croque madame, the crepes, the poached pears, all excellent. Take the Polar Queen Express lift. 970-728-6900
7. Tomboy Tavern
A gastropub at the base of the mountain just steps from the ski lift, this is Mountain Village's hottest happy hour. This is where you'll find the best Bloody Marys in Telluride, hands-down. The burgers are monstrous. And while it might sound weird to put kale in the guacamole, it's actually really good. Great beer selection, too. Mountain Village Core, 970-728-7467
8. Cosmopolitan
This is always one of the most popular restaurants in Telluride, located across the street from the Gondola. The wagyu steak for two is superb and gives the steakhouse around the corner a run for its money. The burrata is made in-house. The seafood stew is very good, although I don't really go to the mountains for shrimp and lobster. The blueberry pie is legendary. Impeccable service, especially as it relates to the sommelier. You'll definitely enjoy the wine list here. Hotel Columbia, 300 West San Juan Avenue, 970-728-1292
9. There
This is one of the toughest tables in Telluride. Several reasons for that: One, the place is tiny, with just a few small tables and a half-dozen seats at the bar. Two, the artisanal cocktails are easily the best in town. And three, the Asian-inspired food is very good, especially the pork belly bao and the wagyu satay. 627 West Pacific Ave., 970-728-1213
10. Gorrono Ranch
Located mid-mountain on the Misty Maiden trail, Gorrono Ranch is always a blast. There's usually a live band playing on stage outside. There's an indoor bar, with killer hot chocolate and whiskey, and there's another bar outside near the stage. The main kitchen creates great burgers and chili, while a hidden barbecue hut behind the bar smokes some amazing low-and-slow pulled pork, but it often sells out by 2 pm, so it's best to make a pitstop here on the early side of lunch. This is one of the best meeting spots on the mountain. Take Village Express Lift, then Misty Maiden trail, 970-728-7566
I invite you to follow me and join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

I once heard someone say that you > can make scrambled tofu instead??? Hello Sally, Here's my scrambled tofu recipe. I usually use 1/4 tsp olive oil to cook the onion, but I have also tested it without, so this is the version I've put below. I also sometimes use soya lecithin in the sauce, but it doesn't really make much difference, and lecithin is fat, so not allowed here. I think it's the dill and nutritional yeast that make this taste like eggs. I'm in the UK as well - I use Engevita nutritional yeast distributed by Marigold, from my local health food shop. I use Sainsbury's own-brand plain tofu - it's best if the tofu hasn't been frozen. If you don't know about sauteeing in vegetable stock, see http://users.ox.ac.uk/~corp0141/Cooking/Lowfat/Techniques/saute.html Kate ------------------ * Scrambled Tofu * ------------------ Serves 1-2 * 2 tbsp finely-chopped onion * vegetable stock to saute * 1/2 pack (150g, 5oz) plain tofu (not silken), grated * 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes * 1/8 tsp garlic granules * 1/4 tsp dried dill * salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste 1. Using a non-stick pan, gently saute the onion in a little vegetable stock until softened but not browned. 2. Add the tofu and stirfry for about another 10 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, mix the nutritional yeast, garlic granules and dill with a few tbsp water to form a thinnish sauce. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. 4. Add the sauce to the pan and stir and cook until the liquid is gone and the scrambled tofu is fairly dry. 5. Serve on toast. -- I like red wine that doesn't make my mouth hurt.

By: Laura S. Unger
Acting Chair, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission
Chairman Hollings, Ranking Member Gregg, and Members of the Subcommittee:
I appreciate this opportunity to testify on behalf of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") in support of the SEC's fiscal 2002 budget. The SEC is a civil law enforcement agency. Since its creation in 1934, the SEC's mission has been to administer and enforce the federal securities laws in order to protect investors, and to maintain fair, honest, and efficient markets. We accomplish this mission by overseeing the markets through a public-private partnership. This system of shared regulation among the SEC, state regulators, self-regulatory organizations ("SROs"), and the securities industry enables the Commission to leverage its resources and is markedly different from the approach taken by other federal regulators. Even with this system, however, the SEC must stretch to keep pace with the rapidly changing marketplace.
The Commission today faces some of the most complex and difficult issues it has ever considered. No segment of American business has been more transformed by the rapid pace of technological innovation in recent years than the securities industry. New technologies, new participants, and new financial products are reshaping our markets. Our markets also are becoming increasingly global - a trend that most expect to accelerate in the coming years. In addition, our national securities markets are taking steps to shed their long-held membership status and are moving to become publicly held entities. In short, it is now more important than ever that the SEC remain vigilant in policing and maintaining the integrity and transparency of our securities markets.
We are a nation of investors. Twenty years ago, only 5.7 percent of Americans owned mutual funds. Today, some 88 million shareholders, representing 51 percent of U.S. households, hold mutual funds. Our nation's investors have an unprecedented stake in our markets. Whether through college savings plans or retirement accounts, our collective stake in U.S. markets continues to grow, and we are increasingly dependent on the success and integrity of those markets. In addition, online trading and new technologies have empowered individual investors in ways that were previously unimaginable. It is against this backdrop that I intend to discuss the President's fiscal 2002 budget request for the SEC and the primary challenge we currently face: our inability to attract and retain staff.
The President's fiscal 2002 budget requests an appropriation of $437.9 million for the SEC, 3.6 percent more than our fiscal 2001 enacted level of $422.8 million. This $437.9 million request, while providing the resources necessary to meet the Commission's current needs, is a zero-growth budget. It only partially funds the Commission's inflationary and mandatory cost increases, does not provide any programmatic staffing increases, and actually requires the Commission to make a small reduction in its authorized staff level.
We intend to support the Administration and meet the challenges ahead by continuing to use our existing resources as efficiently and effectively as possible. Unfortunately, and perhaps ironically, we only have the ability to operate at this funding level because of the severe staffing problems we currently face. In particular, our inability to pay staff at a level comparable with the other federal financial regulatory agencies has hampered our ability to attract and retain staff. The resulting high turnover that we have experienced has resulted in a significant efficiency loss and has left certain positions unfilled indefinitely. Because filling these positions has proven to be so difficult, we intend to fund some of our mandatory costs by making reductions in the number of vacancies that we will fill in fiscal 2002. However, constraining the SEC's growth and relying on cutting unfilled positions is not preferred and certainly is not sustainable over the long term.
The SEC will need significant additional resources in fiscal 2003 and beyond to respond to both the continuing innovations in our markets and the increasing regulatory responsibilities we face as a result of several recent legislative initiatives. In particular, we will require additional examination and oversight staff to meet our new responsibilities under the recently enacted Commodities Futures Modernization Act of 2000 ("CFMA"), which provides for joint oversight with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission of new security futures products, and the landmark Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA").
In addition, the SEC critically needs to stay abreast of the rapid evolution of our securities markets. New markets and new trading models are constantly emerging. Electronic trading platforms - some of which didn't exist just a few years ago - are now anonymously matching buyers and sellers of hundreds of millions of shares every day. In February of last year, the Commission approved the International Securities Exchange's application to become the first new national securities exchange in twenty-seven years. Now, four entities have applied for registration as an exchange. At the same time, the traditional exchange and over-the-counter markets continue to innovate. Both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are in the process of incorporating greater automation into their markets, launching complex and important initiatives such as NYSE Direct and the SuperMontage.
No less pressing is our need to keep up with the challenges presented by today's increasingly global marketplace. Companies throughout the world are now seeking capital on a cross-border basis. In addition, U.S. investors today can view real-time quotes from foreign markets, and electronic linkages reduce the costs to U.S. investors of trading directly in foreign markets. These developments make it increasingly important for the SEC to promote high quality disclosure and transparency standards, including high quality internationally acceptable accounting standards.
Despite these long-term needs, our fiscal 2002 request will allow the Commission to continue such important initiatives as:
Having outlined our ongoing priorities and how we intend to manage the funding level approved in the President's budget, I would now like to discuss the Commission's severe difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified staff and the status of our pay parity effort.
Staffing Crisis
On June 14, 2001, the House of Representatives voted 404 to 22 in favor of H.R. 1088, the Investor and Capital Markets Relief Act, the companion to S.143, the Competitive Market Supervision Act of 2001, which the Senate passed by unanimous consent earlier this year. Both of these bills would provide the SEC with the authority necessary to match the pay and benefits of federal banking agencies. We currently believe that this legislation will be enacted prior to the start of fiscal 2002 on October 1, 2000. As such, I would like to take this opportunity to review the SEC's current staffing crisis and to discuss the additional resources that we will need to implement pay parity.
As a result of Congress's passage of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) in 1989, none of the federal banking regulators is subject to the government-wide pay schedule. As a result, they are able to provide their staffs with appreciably more in compensation and benefits than we can. This disparity is a significant drain on morale. It is difficult to explain to SEC staff why they should not be paid at comparable levels, especially when they are conducting similar oversight, regulatory, and examination activities. It is one thing for staff to make salary comparisons with the private sector, but quite another for them to see their government counterparts making substantially more than they are.
This is particularly true in the wake of the landmark GLBA mentioned above. The GLBA demands that the Commission undertake examinations and inspections of highly complex financial services firms. Moreover, by allowing additional affiliations between securities firms, banks, and insurance companies, the GLBA requires increased coordination of activities among all the financial regulators. Even more so than in the past, Commission staff are working side-by-side with their counterparts from the banking regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, we cannot match the salaries that our sister regulators pay.
I appreciate the continued support of our authorizing and appropriating committees and their recognition that pay parity is good public policy. With approximately 3,000 staff, the SEC is small by federal agency standards. This staff is charged with overseeing an industry that includes about 700,000 registered representatives of approximately 8,000 broker-dealers, some 15,000 companies that file reports with us, about 30,000 investment company portfolios, and about 8,000 registered investment advisers. Over $41 trillion in stocks are expected to trade hands this year on the nation's stock exchanges and Nasdaq, including transactions on numerous new electronic communication networks. Mutual funds now hold close to $7 trillion in assets. This is more than double the amount on deposit at commercial banks and surpasses by $2 trillion the total financial assets of commercial banks. Unlike bank deposits, however, mutual fund assets are uninsured and no SROs help us regulate this sector. Social security reform initiatives also raise the possibility of greatly increasing the number of American's invested in our capital markets.
With such important responsibilities and at such a critical time in our markets' development, the Commission simply cannot afford to continue to suffer a serious staffing crisis. Since 1996, our attrition rate has been increasing, particularly among our more senior professionals. Over the last two fiscal years, the Commission has lost 30% of its attorneys, accountants, and examiners.1 If this trend continues unabated, the Commission's mission of protecting investors and maintaining market integrity will be seriously threatened.
We currently estimate that implementing pay parity will cost approximately $70 million in fiscal 2002, with yearly adjustments for inflation thereafter. This increase brings our revised fiscal 2002 appropriation request to $508 million. While I recognize that this represents a large increase for the Commission, I strongly believe that the most vital resource the SEC has is its highly professional and well-regarded staff and that they ought to be compensated at levels consistent with the other Federal financial regulators.2 I look forward to working with you to ensure that this additional funding is provided and this issue is resolved.
Fee Reductions
In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to briefly comment on the fee provisions of both S. 143 and H.R. 1088. Both bills would significantly reduce fees for investors, market participants, and companies making filings with the Commission, while preserving the amount of offsetting collections available to this Committee to fund the agency in coming years.3 These bills also spread the cost of regulation among those who benefit from the activities of the Commission and address the agency's funding structure in a comprehensive and balanced manner. The fee provisions in these bills not only have the support of the SEC, but also of the Administration.
Station Place Lease Procurement
Finally, I would like to provide some additional details regarding the Commission's new headquarters lease. On May 29, 2001 the SEC awarded a 14-year lease for 650,000 rentable square feet at Station Place, adjacent to Union Station, to Louis Dreyfus Properties, LLC, of New York. This decision was made after an extensive two-year procurement during which the Commission held a vigorous competition and consulted with its authorizing committees, appropriations committees, the Public Works Committee, the General Services Administration ("GSA"), the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB"), and the District of Columbia.
The Commission's current headquarters lease at 450 5th Street, N.W. ends in fiscal 2004 and we were required to compete for a new lease pursuant to the Competition in Contracting Act.4 The SEC has been at this location since 1982 and has been suffering from overcrowding for the last several years. In calendar 2000, we procured additional space at 901 E Street, N.W. and moved several units out of our headquarters to ameliorate overcrowding.5 While this last move was essential to deal with severe overcrowding, it has negatively impacted the activities of the Commission and reduced our efficiency. In preparing to obtain new space, the SEC sought to consolidate the agency's offices, relieve existing overcrowding, meet safety and health requirements, and ensure adequate access to mass transit. We received a number of proposals and enjoyed a healthy competition. Station Place offered the best means to reach our goals. More specifically, it was the lowest cost, highest technically rated offer in the procurement and represents the best value to the government.
During this procurement, the Commission followed all applicable laws and worked closely with GSA and OMB. From an appropriations perspective, the Commission's award to Station Place was scored as an operating lease and will not require an upfront appropriation of funds to be constructed. Instead, its rental costs will be covered on a yearly basis through our appropriation, much as now. I want to assure you that this move is appropriate for the Commission, good for the city, and the best deal available to the government.
Our nation's markets and the SEC are at a crossroads. New technologies and activities continue to pose new challenges and threats to the integrity of our markets, as does increased globalization. I appreciate the support that this Committee has provided the SEC in the past and look forward to having a fruitful dialogue regarding the resource needs and policy issues that currently face the Commission. I also appreciate the willingness this Committee has already shown in recognizing the need to resolve the SEC's intractable staffing problems. I look forward to working with you toward final passage and funding of pay parity legislation.
1 Over the past several years the Commission has explored virtually every available approach to keeping staff longer. In 1992, we petitioned and received from the Office of Personnel Management ("OPM") the authority to pay the majority of our attorneys and accountants approximately 10 percent above their base pay. While special pay was a step in the right direction, its value erodes over time and it proved to be a short-term solution. This is because staff that receive special pay do not receive the government-wide locality increase each year, which means that their special pay becomes less valuable over time and hence becomes less effective as a retention tool. Our appropriation last year included funds to reinstate special pay rates for certain attorneys, accountants, and examiners and OPM recently approved our proposed special pay rates for these employees. While this should help, based on our experience we know that this is at most a temporary and partial remedy to the SEC's staffing crisis. In addition, even with special pay, the salaries at the federal banking regulators are still substantially more than we can pay our staff.
2 A broad cross-section of the securities industry, corporate community, and investor groups have expressed support for pay parity, including the Securities Industry Association, the Investment Company Institute, the Investment Counsel Association of America, the Business Roundtable, the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association College Retirement Equity Fund (TIAA-CREF), the National Association of Securities Dealers, the New York Stock Exchange, Fidelity Investments, and the Business Roundtable.
3 The Congressional Budget Office estimates that fees required to be collected
by the SEC from all sources will total over $2.47 billion in fiscal 2001. This
amount represents more than five times the SEC's enacted fiscal 2001 appropriation of $422.8 million. As stated, both S. 143 and H.R. 1088 are designed to reduce fees while maintaining the amount of offsetting collections that are available to the SEC's appropriators. In fiscal 2002, this amount is estimated at $1.15 billion.
4 The Commission currently has several leases expiring in the regions, in addition to the agency's headquarters lease. We originally signed many of these leases during the late 1980s and early 1990s when prices in the real estate market were depressed and significantly lower than the rates that can be obtained today.
5 The Commission previously moved a large portion of its administrative, information technology, and operations functions out of headquarters and
into the Commission's Operations Center in Alexandria, VA in the early and mid 1990s as a first step toward alleviating overcrowding. Those functions will remain in Alexandria after the Commission moves to Station Place.

autumn in oregon
after strolling through some friends' blogs this morning
i thought...
i guess i could blog
it's been a less climatic weekend
i did notes for work most of saturday
friday night we did go to see "seussical" the musical
which was actually fun
i'm not in love with most musicals
today we're doing a waffle feed
seems like the right thing to do
these pics are from our yard and down our gravel road street
i love fall leaves
but in oregon lots of the trees don't turn
and i feel there's a lack of native
deep reds and orange leaves
thanks to the japanese maple
in are yard next to the non-working waterfall/pond
i get my orange fix
it's getting that in between time in oregon
where the rain is happening more often
and i'm just not ready for that
we've ran to smith rock to climb
and get out of the rain
on our way to smith/bend
we stopped to watch a msl game
at a bar on the way
i couldn't help but snap this jem of a women's bathroom
two in one large stall?
we don't work that way
last saturday was "epic"
(because it didn't rain and was sunny)
mtn biked in the forest on my favorite trail
then scooted into tillamook for some squeaky cheese
took a walk on coast
let the dog run and be so happy
touched sea urchins
hurried back into town
and watched my spurs beat the trailblazers in the final minute
(thanks to my friend getting us $5 tickets in the nosebleed)
don't worry i wore my cowgirl hat and boots,
and my black and grey
and maybe yelled at the crowd
when there was a dirty foul
"classy trailblazers, classy"
but i didn't say jailblazers!
i'd root for them any other time...
other than playing the spurs.
the end.
i may be back.
may not.
we'll see.

to experience the goodness.
and rushed her in good time
to the airport.
it was a delightful time

Mysterious Emanuel
Every Sunday the gates open at the Museum of Emanuel Vigeland. If you find ourself looking for a more mysterious experience you should definately take the trip to Oslos best kept secret.
Emanuel Vigeland, the brother of the known scultor Gustav Vigeland, was born to a family of craftsmen. His first solo exhibition was held at the Dioramalokalet on Karl Johan's street in Oslo during February 1902. In 1905, Vigeland traveled to Italy under a scholarship to study frescoes, a journey that also took him to Egypt and Jerusalem. In 1909, Vigeland was commissioned to decorate frescoes, stained glass and lighting equipment for the first Norwegian Crematorium (Det gamle kapell). The same year he was invited to participate in the competition for the decoration of fresco paintings and stained glass in the new assembly hall at the University of Oslo.
The original plans for Emanuel Vigeland Museum show that the large main hall was intended as an exhibition space for paintings and sculptures. Only the end wall and the ceiling were supposed to be covered with fresco paintings. In the 1940′s the windows were filled with brick and the building changed character from museum to mausoleum. For the decoration of the high-vaulted, dark room Vigeland found inspiration in the burial chambers of Antiquity, especially the Etruscan. But the dramatic stories of Christianity also offered rich impulses, such as the Creation and the Original Sin as they had been narrated in Italian Renaissance frescoes. In accordance with these southern prototypes he named his future burial place Tomba Emmanuelle (Emanuel's Tomb). The fresco paintings that now cover all the walls and the ceiling were named Vita (Life). The theme of Vita is eroticism and man's sexual instinct, conveyed through multitudes of naked bodies, women and men in impetuous intimacy. Lovemaking and procreation in the honour of God takes place in front of a dark and infinite universe, dimly lit by the life-giving, divine sun but also by the blazing fires of hell. (It is the wish of the artist that the artificial lighting in the room is kept to a minimum, so that the drama of Vita is gradually revealed, as the eye of the spectator grows accustomed to the darkness.)
So what started as a museum turned into his final resting place. Emanuel Vigeland's urn is placed in the entrance wall. It consists of a hollowed stone, taken from the artist's summer residence at Tjøme. Vigeland writes: "When thus my hour is nigh, my body weary and my mind dull, let me then face the sun and quietly pass away. Fire so pure, receive my body so that, fully cleansed, it can meet God. Lay these ashes, which once was a life for better or worse, in the ovary-shaped stone, in memory of my dear mother. And underneath, on the golden base of the urn, shine the letters God."
It is said that he designed the entrance to the mausoleum to be short so that anyone who enters the mausoleum bows for him as they enter.
The dark, mysterious and beautifully decorated room has a fantastic acoustic and is often used for music shows.
Address: Grimelundsveien 8
Opening hours: The museum is open every sunday, all year from 12:00 – 16:00
(15. may – 15. sep: 12:00 – 17:00)
Entrance fee: 40 NOK (free for children under 12 years)

C3 Crochet Crop Cardigan
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
This cardigan is an easy top down project. The cardigan begins at the neck and is worked back and forth in half double crochet until reaching the underarms. On every row the yoke of the cardigan is increased along raglan lines. After the yoke is completed, the cardigan continues in a solid shell stitch pattern. This double breasted cropped cardigan is meant to be close-fitting with a slightly boxy shape, but it is easy to adjust both the sleeve and body length.
Note: The pattern was updated in 09.09. There was an error in the size Medium (sleeves).
