Book review
"The Condition": Trajectory of an upscale, dysfunctional family
PEN/Hemingway award winner Jennifer Haigh's novel "The Condition" traces the trajectory of an upscale, dysfunctional family, from the parents' 1970s breakup to their children's troubled passages into adulthood and beyond.
Special to The Seattle Times
Jennifer HaighThe author of "The Condition" will read at 7 p.m. July 17
at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park (206-366-3333; www.thirdplacebooks.com).
"The Condition"
by Jennifer Haigh
Harper, 390 pp., $25.95
The place and the season are familiar: the beaches of Cape Cod during summer. Also familiar is the cast of characters: an upscale, dysfunctional family. However, the similarity with typical summer fluff ends there. Jennifer Haigh's new novel, "The Condition," is a serious work of fiction and, surprisingly, a page-turner as well. Haigh ("Baker Towers") has previously won both the PEN/L.L. Winship Award and the PEN/Hemingway Award, and this novel showcases her considerable talent.
It is 1976. Frank and Paulette McKotch and their three children — Billy, Gwen and Scott — don't yet realize they won't be vacationing together as a family much longer. Frank, an academic and scientist, has an enormous sexual appetite, whereas Paulette is beautiful but repressed. Their differences are magnified in the idyllic vacation setting, and they're soon divorced.
The story resumes in 1997. Billy, now a physician, is the pride of the family. Gwen, who suffers from Turner's syndrome, hasn't grown into either full womanhood or stature, yet quietly manages to make a decent living. Scott is an underachiever and stoner who has fathered several children by a woman not well accepted by his parents.
Each McKotch is afflicted with his or her own private heartache. Paulette's loneliness is relieved only by occasional attention from younger men. Frank, despite a long list of affairs, hasn't succeeded in achieving a lasting relationship. Billy does his best to hide his private life. Gwen takes a pleasure trip to the Caribbean and falls in love with a man, only to undergo a wrenching test of her character. Scott finally discovers his mission in his life. With misfortune awaiting him, his happiness is, however, short-lived.
Will family bonds ever be strong enough to reunite them and see them through their trials? Haigh devotes the remaining pages to an elegant and perceptive exploration of this and other relevant questions.

So I think my husband and I will probably decide to visit Venice in mid December. I would like to know from anyone that has been there how did you experience the city, is it a very expensive city and also if you stay in Venice Lido,how much does the water bus taxi's cost you? (Seeing that accommodation in Venice Lido is cheaper than in Venice?)
Would you recommend visiting Venice for the weekend and feel that it was worth your money?
Thank you for the help so far.

Venice vs Venice Lido
Report Abuse
Yes, it is expensive.
No, it is not worth the hotel savings to stay in Lido in the winter. The cost of the tickets, if you buy a pass, is negligible, but the ferry will consume time that you can use exploring Venice itself, which is at its best very early in the morning and late at night. You want to be able to walk out your door into the maze of "streets". More important is that in the event of bad weather, the ride from Lido on a ferry might be uncomfortable and the ferry might be cancelled or delayed.
It would be better, in my view, to spend fewer nights in Venice than more nights in Lido or, for that matter, Mestre. Others may have a different view.
Report Abuse
I totally agree with the above.
Report Abuse
Absolutely agree with Ackislander. It's expensive but there are ways to economize with a little planning. Bars serve delicious cicchetti which are quite reasonable (and can be made a meal of) and there are restaurants with more reasonable pre fixe menus (yes, tourist-y restaurants but alot of Venice is tourists!) We stayed is Dorsoduro and walked virtually everywhere which saved the (high) cost of the Vaporetto - it's a great walking city.
Report Abuse
I'd try and stay in Venice if I could. I'd aim for a B&B we used B&B "Repubblica Marinara" simple, cheap and well placed . If not that then I'd go with Ackislander and stay in Old Mestre and catch the bus or train in.
Food, try and eat a few streets back from the main drawers. We found "Pane, Vino e San Daniele" was a good price. But again if you are in Mestre the prices will drop way down.

> how much does the water bus taxi's cost you ..
I see you are confused. There is water bus ( vaporetto ) and there is water taxi. Water bus is, well, like land bus and water taxi is like land taxi. I suppose you can see the differences.
For the vaporetto tickets, you can see the details here.http://www.actv.it/en/movinginvenice/movinginvenice
A single ticket is €7.00 that's quite costly so I usually buy 72hr pass which is good for all the islands as well ( e.g. Lido, Murano, Burano, etc).
You are going in low season and many hotels are 1/2 to even 1/3 lower compared to high seasons. From about mid November to end of Christmas is one of the lowest seasons in Venice, hotel price-wise. So not only it's not a beach season when you are going but also time to take advantage of low hotels rates. I'm travelling to Venice again on 1st Dec and will stay in a nice 3* hotel, Ca' Zose, in above mentioned Dorsoduro district. I'm paying for a double room, € 220.00 for the total stay of 4 nights breakfast included ( + there wil be about €1.50 city tax per person per night - this tax is also higher until about end of October). How does that sound?
Report Abuse
ACTV vaporetto passes do not include the trasportation between airport and Venice city. If you are not taking the expensive water taxi ( official rate Airport - Venice is €110.00 oneway for a motor boat that can take up to 6 persons), there are Alilaguna boat lines and ACTV / ATVO land bus lines. Which to take would depend on the location of your hotel.
Report Abuse
We visited the Lido in March and most things were closed. The casino moves to Venice in the winter also. My impression was that the Lido is for summer--for the beach.
That being said, we had a lovely lunch and a peaceful walk. There were roads and cars there. We took the Vap there and back. On the trip back, the vap took folks to a commuter spot and that added more time to our trip. You'd need to know the vap schedules/routes if you stay there.
I'd stay in Venice proper.
Report Abuse
This http://en.turismovenezia.it/Where-to-Stay/1352487021.html might offer alternatives for places to stay.
Report Abuse
The Lido is nothing like Venice proper and taking the vaporetto (water bus) back and forth is a major PIA. (You don;t mean water taxi - unless you really want to splurge.)
Also - make sure there is no convention if you want to stay on the Lido. That's where the convention center is - and if a larger one is going on you can wait 30 minutes to an hour to get ON a vaporetto to Venice proper.

Thank you so much for all the advice and help. I really appreciate it!!! So from the airport what is the cheapest way to get into Venice central? Or is there maybe a website you can direct me to?
Report Abuse
The cheapest way into the city from the airport is the bus which takes you to the Piazzale Roma, the last place you can get in Venice on wheels. From there, you can take the vaporetto water bus anywhere you need to go that is beyond walking distance. When you find a hotel, they will give you directions, important because there are no street numbers as we know them in other countries.
I believe you can buy the bus ticket and your vaporetto pass at the airport, but others will correct me if I am wrong.
Report Abuse
Here is the Venice Connected webite with transport info and prices http://www.veniceconnected.com/node/1477
Report Abuse
The ACTV site I posted above tell all the ticket/pass prices.
There is no reason to buy the passes on veniceconnected site any longer because these is no discount. You can just buy at airport as Ackislander wrote or at any manned vaporetto stops.
Report Abuse
What? They don't offer discount any more? Hmmm....
Report Abuse
That's right no more. This being talked about often on Tripadvisor Venice forum and if you try buying it on the site, you will see, the prices you get disregarding the dates, are the same, zone blue, green or red. There may be a small discount however for museum entrances which really is not much.

Los Angeles is one big melting pot with distinct style and flair. When it comes to putting your personal stamp on your own home it is also fun to turn to local neighborhood influences. L.A. interior designers and decorators love to play up the glamour of Hollywood, accent with the tones and vibes of the Pacific Ocean and show off Pasadena's unique treasures. Interior designer Joanne Dossick of J. Dossick Designs offers trade tips on helping people freshen up their homes.

The glamour of Hollywood in the 1950s is about luxury at its best. Young starlets like Elizabeth Taylor and Cyd Charisse entertained the show biz industry quite a bit in elegantly-decorated living rooms. Today, it is easy to decorate with the influences of Hollywood. For this look, Dossick says to accent the room with fabrics that are shiny – how else can you make the room shine like a star? Otherwise, key pieces of furniture that make this look complete are a chaise flanked by an end table with a geometric base and a mirrored console, which can be perfect to set up your bar. A fabulous crystal chandelier is a beautiful centerpiece and a plush white area rug brings the whole look together.
The serenity of the beach plays a big part in many L.A. lifestyles. For a beachy cottage feel, begin by selecting paint colors in blues, whites and sand tones. Dossick shops at local flea markets, specifically seeking distressed furniture pieces. She likes slouchy, but not sloppy, slip-covered sofas and oversized chairs in natural fabrics and materials. Accent your great room, bedroom or living room with a sisal area rug and glass apothecary jars filled with sand and shells. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy the cozy feeling of your new beach chalet.
Known for more than the Rose Bowl, Pasadena's rich culture and historical estates have been thriving since the 1880s. To bring the treasured style of Pasadena to life, Dossick recommends finding inspiration in your grandmother's attic. Set up your room with a traditional Windsor chair along with additional furniture with hints of mahogany. Bring light into the room with an English antique light fixture and add molding to the ceilings to provide an easy design element. Dossick loves fresh flowers in the home and says to always keep a fresh vase of roses on display.

As college grads are gearing to make it on their own, one of the many things on their to-do list is finding a place to live. With new budgets in place and for the most part, limited funds available, decorating a first apartment takes creativity and some thinking out of the box. Repurposing old furniture from childhood bedrooms, keeping décor simple, shopping secondhand stores and auction websites, and having a plan are some great strategies to decorating a first apartment on a budget. Manhattan Beach interior designer Joanne Dossick works with a variety of living spaces throughout the Los Angeles area. Best known for honoring her client's needs, style and budget, Dossick researches and utilizes décor elements to help design a first apartment, first home, bedrooms and bathrooms and outdoor spaces.

Interior designer Joanne Dossick helps clients make a house a home. For more than 15 years in the interior design industry, Dossick's unique perspective helps create meaningful living spaces. She uses her love for fabrics, paints, textiles and furniture to uncover her clients' personal styles and tastes. Often, Dossick's clients are surprised by that some thing unexpected– a piece of furniture, a color or a pattern – that puts the finishing touch on a room. Always putting her clients' needs first, she makes herself available as a sounding board, consultant or holds clients hands through every step of the way. J. Dossick Designs is a respected business that works closely with architects and contractors to make it all happen.
Make A Floor Plan
One of the primary things to do before moving into an apartment is to draw a floor plan. This plays a big hand in staying on budget. It also enables apartment dwellers to know exactly how much space they have and helps them avoid over-purchasing. Find floor plan tools online, which are easy to download. Bring a measuring tape to account for accurate dimensions of the various spaces – don't' forget to measure windows. Pinterest is a fun and useful website for searching floor plans that look similar to the space you are decorating.
Use Multipurpose Items
Working with multipurpose furniture will help save on space and money. In the living room, a storage ottoman is perfect for extra seating when you are entertaining, great for putting up your feet and kicking back and for storage. You can keep extra blankets, books, and whatever is lying around the house that you want out of sight. Larger desks can also be used as a dining table or work space, and a side table or end table can also serve as a bookcase. Dual purpose pieces also work for decluttering, which is a smart idea to keep your apartment clean and orderly.
Adhere To A Neutral Color Palette
Using neutral colors such as whites, light grey and beige add the feeling of openness and endless lines in apartment living. These colors may seem indistinct but are always in style and set a clean palette for introducing color as tastes and moods change. Neutral colored sofas are easy to find on the less expensive online shopping sites including Overstock.com, Wayfair.com, One Kings Lane, etc. Don't forget to search for towels and linens on these websites or visit stores such as Target, which sells bamboo-made bath towels and bedding at a good price.
Light Is An Inexpensive Way To Decorate
Chances are your first"home" will be small, whether you are apartment living or moving into a house. It's all smoke and mirrors when trying to make a small space appear larger. Purchase good lightbulbs. They are cheap, and can transform a small dark space into a light, airy one. Mirrors are terrific accents. They give the illusion of brightening up your home as mirrors reflect light and make your home or space appear larger. Additionally you can find relatively inexpensive pieces. Work a mirror into the entrance of your apartment – it will give the illusion of another focal point, plus it's nice to have for people coming and going to give themselves one last look.
Create Cheap Art To Give Your New Home Some Personality
Photocopy art or images that you connect with. It's an easy and cost-effective way to make your new home pop. Basic frames are inexpensive – find them at Michaels or Aaron Brothers (these stores often have frame sales). Frame landscape or beach photography from old wall calendars and hang throughout the living room or bedroom. Also, a fun and easy project is to paint your own canvas – find supplies at any craft store. A solid color on canvas can go a long way with white walls and neutrals. This gives the same effect as wallpaper.

George Jones biopic in the works
Country star George Jones' widow has signed up to produce a biopic about her late husband. The He Stopped Loving Her Today hitmaker passed away in April (13) at the age of 81, but now his partner, Nancy Jones, is making sure the singer's legacy will never fade by collaborating with bosses at 28 Entertainment on a movie about his life.
Dennis L. Baxter, who was working on a biopic project with Jones when he was alive, has been tapped to write the script.
Nancy Jones says, "Over the years we have been approached to make George's life into a feature film, but it was not until Dennis Baxter became involved that we were confident the story could be told accurately.
"George and I started working with Dennis six years ago in crafting the life-long story. Knowing George had input in this film and that it will be told the way he wanted it told, I feel we are in good hands."

I love these hats! I read Dashiell Hammett lately and if I hadnt been addicted to hats before I had become now. Not only that people wore hats, but how -
its hard to find hats that dont look outfashioned or overstyled or silly in everyday life, but yours look wearable and sophisticated, just "natural".
How did you figure out your pattern? Did you use paper or cardboard and stick it together? Or did you sew models before?

7 Resume Tips for Older Job Seekers
Age may be a state of mind, but in many industries it could be the reason you're not getting the call for an interview. Discrimination based on age is illegal, but sadly, it exists. In many cases, it is factored in even at the resume shortlisting phase. Sometimes, years of experience don't exactly work in the favor of the applicant. So how do you prove your capability for the job? While it is difficult predict the outcome of an actual interview, here are a few tips to help you spruce up your resume, to at least land the initial interview call.
(Photo Credit: flazingo_photos/Flickr)
1. Keep your resume up-to-date: Highlight your current or last job details, and get rid of old and irrelevant job experience. If your resume is running more than two pages, get rid of any experience that's more than 15-20 years old. Even if you do remember your projects from your first job, you may not be able to provide references that far back who still vividly remember what you had done. Pay attention to the job description. If it mentions that they are looking for someone with 25-30 years of experience, then go ahead and add it in.
2. Get rid of the year of graduation: While this is optional, if you graduated a long time ago, adding this information is not necessary. The graduation years are usually helpful for recent grads to justify their lack of experience and to let the recruiter know that they're just starting up. By adding your year of graduation, you are also inviting your recruiter to guess your age. While it is illegal to discriminate against candidates based on age, it's also hard to prove. If you take your birth year off, you won't have to wonder. By the same logic, there is no need to add your date of birth information either.
3. Stay current: Job descriptions, roles, and titles have evolved over the years. The job you did a while ago may not be relevant now or the title has changed. Keep your information current and relevant to the job requirements.
4. Customize, customize, customize: This rule applies to all job applicants, age notwithstanding. Customize your resume by highlighting your skills and experience that are relevant to the job. Pay attention to keywords and use them in your resume.
5. Create a LinkedIn profile: Your recruiter is going to look you up on the internet, to know more about you. You don't have to have an extensive social media presence, but at the very least, have a LinkedIn profile, so you pop up in her search results. Keep your profile updated and consistent with your resume.
6. Share relevant contact information: As Marc Miller, author of Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for Baby Boomers explains on LinkedIn, your contact information should be relevant to this day and age. Home addresses and home telephone numbers are a thing of the past. He suggests creating email IDs that are more current or using email forwarding service from professional societies, alumni groups, or even a personal domain name.
7. Give your resume a facelift: Check out sample resume formats available online and choose the one that best fits your profile. Older resume versions are no longer in use and don't really add value to your application. As Deborah Walker explains over at Quint Careers, things have changed, from the number of pages to use, to the extent of information to be shared.

7 Comments on "7 Resume Tips for Older Job Seekers"
I completely agree. I'm a baby boomer and its very hard to find work. I've been searching since June with no luck. I upload at least 50 job specific resumes and only 3 interviews with 0 job offers. I do believe their is a great deal of age discrimination in higher paying jobs. Also, I know the last company I worked, the HR would post a job the required 3 days, but would already have personally chosen the person to hire.
Good article, but I must side with Kelly. I recently applied to a public entity I had previously plied to. They had my account in their system, but ther were numerous errors that I had to correct. And while I have noticed less scrutiny of dates, the fact still remains that many employers value youthful energy over experience.
While Padmaja's tips may help, Kelly has good points. The CV plays a role in getting the interview but accounts for nil in the employer's decision. An experienced professional with a strong track record is looking for stability, preferably the last job. Yet, employers are passing on them to save $10K/year but will put up with high turnover. Nonsense.
Thanks for mentioning my book and referencing my post! 8^)

Injuries board in Ireland
When somebody suffers an individual injury in the Republic of Eire and is declaring damages because authority they should first submit a claim through the Personal Injuries Board (formerly known as the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB)). Injuries Board is a completely independent body that was set up below the Personal Injury* Assessment Board Act 2003. It gives evaluation of Personal Injury* settlement for sufferers of Work place, Motor and Public Indebtedness mishaps. It doesn't evaluate Personal Injury* Claiming which are caused by medical malpractice.
Before you're eligible to issue Proceedings in Tribunal an Authorization must be issued by Injuries Board. In case another party will not contest obligation Injuries Board is only going to evaluate a claim for damages. Another party – called the Respondent – should first accept to the evaluation before it may be evaluated by The Board evaluate claims for damages based on all the health signs they are supplied with, having respect to the amount of damages which is granted for specific harms. It is known as evaluation in agreement using the Guide of Quantum.
The claim could be used in the Tribunals, if either celebration (called the Respondent and also the Claimant) is dissatisfied with all the honour.
How can Injuries Board work?
As described in our Settlement Claims Guide somebody who is making a damages claim in the Republic of Eire has in the conventional path just 2 years from day of the mishap to institute proceeding, in agreement using the Courts and Civil Liability Act 2004.
Letter before Activity
Section 8 of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 says that a letter before actions/letter of claim should be created to Respondent in a span of two months of the basis for action or right as practicable afterwards.
There's no duty on a Canvasser to supply the letter inside both month span. The caveat is "whenever practicable." A Solicitor will endeavour to start the letter before actions inside both months interval, assuming the Canvasser is instructed in time, nevertheless. There's an obligation setting out at length the claims made in the letter before actions. It's not satisfactory merely to say that the injury happened. You have to set out many kinds of injury along with the reason for action. It's extremely significant as this letter may be referred to in the Tribunal Hearing at a subsequent date that origin of the injury is set out attentively because letter. It is especially important so that you just take legal advice before delivering this kind of letter and truly before distributing your InjuriesBoard.ie Promise. To learn more on this particular topic read our Post Personal Injuries Accident Statements.
– Anymore do you'll need a Canvasser?
The letter before actions must be transmitted by registered post to the projected respondent.
Taking into consideration the phraseology of Part 8, if you have an inordinate delay, there will probably be price fees.
Medical Report
It's required to get a medical report just before submitting an application to the Injuries Board. It's anticipated this will be sought out of your treating physician. Factual inaccuracies and wrong medical evaluations in the health report has to be corrected. It's extremely significant even at this early-stage of the claims procedure that all details should be precise and there is no hyperbole of the Promise : otherwise the Claimant runs the danger of violating the provisions of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004. Again, it is why it's so significant that your require legal counsel at this early phase. Don't presume that a Solicitor is required by you only when you are not able to conclude your Promise through the the Harms Board procedure. To learn more on this particular topic read our Post Personal Injuries Accident Statements – Anymore do you'll need a Canvasser?
Form A
The Injuries Board application called known as Form A. It's vital that the software is correctly and carefully finished as info with this form might be used in proof by the Respondent in another Court actions. We'll ensure that the Respondent is suitably named / recognized in the Application Form and, moreover, make certain that the Injuries Board have right recorded the name of the Respondent properly. This is very significant where it ought to be established if the Respondent trades personally or below the lawful status of a limited-liability company.
The situation of the injury section of the type must always be filled out with a Canvasser, who should get detailed directions and whole in short, the situation of the mishap, before the shape being signed from the claimant. This is especially significant in light of the provisions of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004.
The finished Harms Board type is lodged together with the EUR50 fee, a Medical Report, details of special damages (that is, out-of-pocket expenses) where suitable, a from your the for to the Harms Board verifying that Solicitors are instructed on their behalf and copies of the letter before as well as and other party / party correspondence. The application together with supporting documentation should be transmitted by Registered Post to the board ; while it's now likewise possible to submit a Promise online.
The claim isn't correctly filed for the intentions of halting the clock in regard to the restriction period , till a Part 50 letter is obtained by your canvasser on your own behalf from the Personal Injuries Board saying that the claim has been received and finished aims the intentions of Section 50 of the 2003 Act. If such a letter hasn't been obtained then the claim isn't correctly registered and also the Statute of Restrictions will persist to go.
Once a claim is received, filed and whole, the Legislative act quits running. The Statute won't start to perform again till following the claim is introduced by means of authorization under Part 14, for another 6 months.
From telling of the claim the respondent includes a span of ninety days within which to take or reject the Boards evaluating the claim. Subsequently Boards has a span of 9 months after that to measure the claim, whether the respondent accepts to the board assessing the claim. This interval could be expanded by another 6 months on telling to the celebrations. No notification was received in regards to an extension, you then, the claimant, are eligible for an instant Authorization to start Tribunal Proceedings when the 9 nine-month interval has elapsed.
Disclaimer: *In contentious business a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.

Nady cleared for next step in rehab
Nady cleared for next step in rehab
Guarding a partially torn ligament in his right elbow, Nady has been limited to light exercises in his activity as he attempts to avoid season-ending Tommy John surgery. He is looking forward to being cleared to resume hitting off a tee and soft toss when the Yankees return home.
"I'm human -- I've picked up a bat and swung it, even though I'm probably not supposed to," Nady said. "I think a lot just goes on how it feels."
The 30-year-old has had two injections of an experimental treatment on the injury, which he suffered making a throw from right field on April 14 at Tropicana Field, feeling sharp pain as he hit cutoff man Derek Jeter on a routine play.
Nady said that he believes he could begin a rehabilitation assignment as soon as May 25 and hopes to rejoin the Yankees as at least a designated hitter in early June. The fact that the Yankees have thus far declined to put Nady on the 60-day disabled list speaks to their optimism.
"There's progress here," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "You have to wait and see how he feels once the right arm gets involved. The time has passed where we feel that he's safe to do it, and that's a good thing."
Under the care of Yankees team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad, Nady is having platelet-rich plasma injected directly into the area around his partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. The blood is drawn from Nady and spun to isolate the platelets, which doctors believe can help speed healing.
"It was extremely uncomfortable the first time," Nady said. "The second time was a little better, probably because my ligament wasn't so injured. If it helps, if there's any benefit to it, of course I can power through a minute of pain."
While the procedure has a track record in sports, having helped Red Sox reliever Takashi Saito and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, it was used more widely in Europe and was recently approved in the United States.
Nady said the idea was suggested by the Yankees medical staff as an option to what Nady had feared was a foregone conclusion: a second Tommy John surgery, having also had that performed in September 2001.
"They thought it'd be a good idea to try it out," Nady said. "It was funny. Every day going into it I felt pretty good, and then obviously it gets sore from the injections, especially going in the elbow. Hopefully it's doing some magic and it will feel good in the long run."
Nady said that he had only been cleared to begin performing biceps curls with his right arm on Sunday -- "That was exciting," he grinned -- and has hitting one-handed in the cages. He also been keeping busy by shagging fly balls on the field when weather permits.
Nady was hitting .286 through seven games for the Yankees this season, after batting .305 with 25 homers and 97 RBIs last season. Should Nady be able to resume his year, he said he would have to modify his workout program to reflect a chance of re-injury.
"Obviously it's something now that you've got to be a little smarter with," Nady said. "I guess in this game, anything could go. But maybe I could have a better plan of exercises during the year. You just take it for granted because it's never bothered you."

"Disturbing" is one word that Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray used to describe PSEG Long Island's failure to disclose important data associated with the utility's recent rate increase proposal. In a letter sent to local representatives of the New York State Senate and Assembly, Murray detailed her dismay with the utility's actions and called on the state elected officials to amend a law that permits PSEG executives to hide their salaries and other compensation from the public's view. Murray discussed the letter today during a press conference, where she was joined by Town Clerk Nasrin Ahmad, Receiver of Taxes Don Clavin and the Long Island Business Council's Richard Bivone (Nassau County Co-Chair).
Murray's letter was sent in response to PSEG Long Island's proposal to increase rates, presently under the review of the New York State Department of Public Service (DPS). The power provider's proposal did not disclose salary of key high-level executives and other key compensation figures, including employee bonuses, incentive compensation, "golden parachutes," retirement information and other pertinent data. The utility claims it is not required to disclose the executive compensation under the state's LIPA Reform Act.
"It is disturbing that the utility has apparently sought to secret certain information sought by New York State's Department of Public Service (DPS), which is reviewing the power provider's proposal for a rate increase," Murray said. "I am outraged by the arrogance and lack of responsiveness on the part of the administration at PSEG Long Island as they have clearly been stonewalling the state authority which is considering the utility's rate increase proposal."
"Indeed, today I respectfully call for state legislation to compel PSEG Long Island to reveal executive compensation data to the public," the Supervisor added.
"Utility rate increases impact both business owners and residents," Bivone said. "As fellow rate payers, we all deserve to know where our dollars are going."
Murray explained that ratepayers deserve full transparency, since residents in the company's service area have "few if any practical alternatives to paying utility bills replete with PSEG rate increases."
"Our ratepayers/taxpayers fund the salaries of these individuals, and they have a right to know," Murray said. "Accordingly, I am respectfully calling upon state officials to amend the law that allows PSEG executives to hide their salaries and other compensation from the public's view."

Italy: thousands attend funeral of policeman killed in soccer riot
Thousands of mourners flocked to Catania cathedral yesterday for the funeral of a 38 year-old policeman whose death in a soccer riot has shocked Italy and prompted calls for new measures to curb stadium violence. Archbishop Gristina presided over the service. In a message Pope Benedict said: "Informed of the tragic killing of Chief Inspector Filippo Raciti, the Supreme Pontiff expresses his spiritual closeness to the wife and children of the victim, as well as to the injured and the police who, with other law enforcement forces, work to safeguard the security of citizens. "In reiterating his firm condemnation of all forms of violence that disfigure the world of football, the Holy Father exhorts its protagonists to promote respect for legality with greater determination, favouring loyalty, solidarity and healthy competitiveness. In this hope, His Holiness raises fervent prayers for the soul of the faithful servant of the State and, while invoking heavenly consolation upon the relatives and colleagues and all those stricken by such dramatic loss, he sends a comforting apostolic blessing, which may also be extended to those present at the funeral rites."

Nintendo Wii could be the most innovative console in world now, but in Japan, it has tough competitor for the console. Epoch has release most innovative Doreamon game: The flight simulation Helicopter headband!
In the game and manga, Doraemon, Nobita, and friends always use the Helicopter headband to fly in the sky. We cannot fly till now, but we can try to �feel� fly with this Simulator Game.

The cons, we only play one game in this gadget! We don�t know the price yet, but if this gadget costs more than $70, think about it if you want to buy it. Too bad this item only available in Japan.

Although millions of Americans gained insurance under the Affordable Care Act, many remain in poor health. Research shows today's children may become the first generation to experience shorter lives than their parents.
Associate Professor Jessica Mantel, with the Health Law and Policy Institute, has been studying why Health Care Reform isn't enough.
"While having access to affordable medical care can improve individual health, we also need to address the social determinants of health," Mantel said. "Environmental, social, and behavioral factors have a major impact on well-being, like smoking and poor housing conditions. In fact, research shows these factors can play an even bigger role in affecting health, than access to medical care."
Professor Mantel says health care providers are increasingly turning their attention to these factors. "Changes in how the government and insurers pay for care encourage providers to go beyond addressing clinical needs," she said, "such as helping patients enroll in public assistance programs or suing landlords who rent unhealthy apartments."

Global wellness is what might ensue if we all were motivated toward achieving individual, family, worksite and community wellness. Of course, that isn't going to happen any time soon. Global warming, over-population, economic disparity, war and terrorism are some of the effects of the global "worseness" which we have all been practicing for generations.
Can we really have an impact on any of these big issues? A better question might be, "If we don't try, who will have an impact? Some of you may remember the sixties slogan, "Think globally, act locally". This attitude is still very appropriate; yet, as we said in the first paragraph, not everyone will be pursuing wellness any time soon.
So, what can we do?
In another of Don Ardell's essays, he cites the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, written at the end of the First International Conference on Health Promotion in 1986, as a good road map for us to follow still:
Health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Improvement in health requires a secure foundation in basic prerequisites. These are:
- Peace
- Shelter
- Education
- Food
- Income
- A stable eco-system
- Sustainable resources
- Social justice and
- Equity.
The Charter also added support for equal opportunities, a supportive environment, boosting life skills and creating opportunities for healthy choices. Other Ottawa Charter highlights included support for the following:
- The inextricable link between people and their environment requires a socio-ecological approach to health.
- The need to encourage "reciprocal maintenance," that is, taking care of each other, our communities and our natural environment.
- The development of personal skills, including critical thinking, a capacity and respect for reason and presumably, an embrace of common decencies, all part of developing better humans while promoting health.
- Expansion of the health sector beyond clinical and curative services.
- Health services that embrace an expanded mandate sensitive to cultural needs -- a mandate that supports the needs of individuals and communities for a healthier life, and opens channels between the health sector and the broader social, political, economic and environmental components.
- Approaches that counteract harmful products, the depletion of resources and unhealthy living conditions.
- Attention to public health issues such as pollution, occupational hazards, inadequate housing and settlements.
In a nutshell, the goal of our new SeekWellness mission is to have an impact on Global Wellness by supporting our visitors to strive for wellness in any or all of five spheres – individual, family, worksite, community and global.
To help you get started, we've decided to organize some of our content and products into these five spheres. If you decide to learn about or work on wellness projects, you'll be able to search on "community wellness" or "worksite wellness", for example, and pull up a list of articles and products that might be useful. SeekWellness.com will be branding articles and products with our Global Wellness icon that are particularly useful to citizens who wish to participate in global wellness projects. Look for these icons to begin appearing on our pages.
Please let us know how you feel about our mission and what kinds of information or products you would find useful in your efforts.
Here are some resources to help you get started:

Have you ever stopped to think about what Thanksgiving truly meant? That the stress of making the perfect Thanksgiving dinner, having the juiciest turkey, the most beautiful centerpieces, and having the most outstanding pumpkin pie really does not matter? Thanksgiving is a holiday of gratitude, giving thanks and appreciating what we have in our lives.
Although the meal is definitely something to be excited about, we need to remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving, because if that turkey burns, the mashed potatoes taste horrible and you forget to make the stuffing, Thanksgiving is about gratitude; not the food.
Although we associate gratitude with Thanksgiving, this is not the only time of the year to express how grateful we are. Being grateful has several benefits that can lead to a healthy, happy lifestyle. Remembering to be positive only encourages a brighter future. We cannot live by dwindling in our misfortunes, grieving in our failures and obsessing on our faults. If you look at life through a pessimistic eye, your life will always be surrounded by darkness. So if that turkey comes out too dry, instead of thinking "I ruined Thanksgiving," think "it's ok. I have my family here and the gravy is excellent!"
Here are some tips to make sure your life is full of gratitude, both in the workplace and at home:
- Keep a gratitude journal. Every day, focus on what you are grateful for. Remember the positive things that happen each day, and when you are feeling blue, read that gratitude journal. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel afterwards.
- Recognize the people around you. Let the people around you know that you appreciate them. By reminding people that you appreciate them, that you are thankful for their help or that you believe they are doing a fantastic job, you can potentially make their day a little brighter.
- Reflect on your successes. Not every day is going to be the greatest, but there will always be something to be grateful for each day. Reflect on the small successes – may it be making it on time to work, finally finishing a project, being able to read your child's A+ paper, and so on. There is always something positive; sometimes you just have to find it even when everything else seems to be going wrong.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and never be afraid to let someone know that you are thankful.
"Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there's always something we could be grateful for." – Berry Neil Kaufman

The similarity between the patent leather mudguards on the Nike Air Max LeBron VII and Air Jordan XI has been obvious from the start. With LeBron's postseason sneakers eschewing the Max Air visible unit in favor of a embedded cushion and adding a carbon fiber arch support furthers the similarities, but nobody would have expected this. Here's an AML7 that's seen its sole swapped out for one with AJ11-like colored sections, and while it lacks the carbon fiber plate, these add big round laces and a tongue loop that are unmistakably 'Eleven'. Whether these are possibly a part of the Heroes Pack or if they'll even hit retail remains unclear, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. Via NT

Hi, my wife Josefina and I, Juan, will be your hosts. There will always be one of us to welcome you, solve your problems and make your stay as pleasant as possible
I'm an architect and I personally restored and decorated the house with the help of the whole family, my wife Josefina and our three sons. There is a part of each of us in every room, because we developed the family and the house at the same time. So, we are inviting you to our place and hope you will feel at home during your stay in BA.
Our eldest son, Ignacio, started the project "Mi Casa en BA" back in 2011. He lived in the house and made it a home for visitors from all walks of life. He also has the credit for making us superhosts with Airbnb, status we have kept throughout the years.
A bit about our family: Josefina is an English teacher, Ignacio is a crossfit coach who is now living in Sweden, Hernán is a graphic designer and Nicolás is a cook for an international cruise ship. And there´s another member of the family, our dog, a boxer called Don Vito, who may sometimes pay a visit to the house.
We love our city and we can help you get to know the city and its people, the Porteños.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about us, please don't hesitate to send us a message.
We're looking forward to welcoming you as our guests!

Lombardian/Villa Park - Roskam involves constituents of the Sixth District while visiting Iraq
By Lawerence W. Synett
Lombardian/Villa Park Review Writer
U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-6th District) touched base with thousands of his constituents on Saturday, Aug. 4, from an unexpected place to those tuning in-Iraq.
"Hello, it's Congressman Peter Roskam, and I'm talking to you live right now from Iraq," Roskam said to the nearly 6,000 constituents taking part in a tele-town hall meeting at 2 p.m. on Saturday, which was 11 p.m. Iraqi time.
For just over an hour, Roskam answered questions from his constituents about what he had seen so far during his four-day trip to Iraq.
The trip was the Republican's first Congressional Delegation (CODEL), which is a trip abroad by a group of congressional members.
The trip was a bipartisan CODEL, involving five other members. The members joined the United States Air Force from Washington, D.C., to Kuwait, and then hopped on-board a Lockheed C-130 Hercules with other men and women serving the military, and landed in Iraq on the afternoon of Friday, Aug. 3.
"Being next to these young men and women, and seeing the battle gear they have on, and knowing the things we are asking them to do, is a humbling thing," said Roskam during the teleconference.
Before the tele-town hall meeting, which allowed participants to either field questions or listen to what the Republican had to say, the five members visiting Iraq were involved in a meeting with Gen. David Petraeus, commander of forces in Iraq.
According to Roskam, the meeting gave him and the other members in attendance an overview of exactly what our country is involved in in Iraq.
"I was so very impressed by the clarity of his leadership, which I believe is very important," said Roskam of Petraeus.
Roskam also commented on the importance of a bipartisan trip as compared to a strictly Republican or Democratic one.
"The general was meeting with American congressmen, and I think that is a very important thing," said Roskam. "This wasn't about donkeys and elephants, this was about what our country is involved in."
After expressing what he had seen thus far during his time in Iraq, constituents of the Sixth District posed various questions to the Republican: What do we do after the "surge"? Does Congress know we are dealing with a 4,000 year old civilization? How are the troops handling the heat in those heavy uniforms?
"We're not out of the woods yet by a long shot on the surge," Roskam said of the surge. "But what he [Petraeus] described was tactical momentum."
Roskam, who stated that the temperature on the tarmac when he landed in Kuwait was 130 degrees, said that "the heat is very difficult and a significant burden" on the troops.
He also discussed troop deployment.
"We are reaching a point at which we have to be very careful about extending deployment any further," said Roskam, who voted against setting a timeline for withdrawal of U.S. troops. "Once the surge is complete, it will take at least a couple of years to remove all of our troops."

1 Year Of Words
Today is the birthday of my blog, it was one year ago on this very day I published my first post so: Happy birthday Through My Blue Shoes! Instead of throwing a birthday party that you would all be jealous of, with tea and balloons and cake -the cake is key - I wanted to talk about birthdays and my blog.
|Aw look the progression of the blue shoes!
Next up is cake - cake is a must, forget everything else if there is cake I'm happy. It doesn't even have to be a fancy cake, some people have themed cakes,rainbow cakes,cakes with icing , cakes that actually taste nice... I would be happy with a plain cake preferably one that did taste nice- which probably means I shouldn't bake it...
Next up is resolutions. There are people who say "by this time next year I want to have accomplished the following things..." Then the next day or even that very day they get to work on the things they want to get done, some people actually get them done and some forget about their goals after a week and only remember the week before their next birthday and by then they just say they'll do it next year! I unfortunately used to do this the wrong way round, it would come to my attention that my birthday was drawing ever closer and that I was going to be a year older, and then I'd panic and do everything I could before my birthday , that way I'd have accomplished all these things before I was that age, this was a mess because my goals were often ridiculously difficult or needed a longer period of time to achieve - usually both- after I realised I did this a lot, I stopped making resolutions and
On that note we move gracefully onto my blog. I'd been playing with the idea of a blog for a few weeks before I actually made one, in the end it was just if I wanted to then I should, and I'm glad I did. For me this blog has reignited my passion for writing and reminded me of few things about myself I forgot along the way, It's probably one of the biggest achievements of the past year for me, this is my 20th post on this blog, and for a year, some people may say that's not a great number of posts but I can happily say that I'm proud of each and every post, and even though I'm not a birthday person I'm more than happy to celebrate this birthday because I'm proud of what I've done.
My blog doesn't have a particular theme, there are lifestyle blogs, cooking, make up, style,photography and so much more, but I don't feel like this blog fits into any of those categories, it has it's own little theme, the "through my blue shoes theme", and I hope you like it. When I started this blog I wondered whether anyone would even read it , and one year on I can proudly say that I am not the only person who does! I was amazed when I saw that people from other countries were reading
my posts, I have people who have read from The UK, The US ,Russia, Puerto Rico, United Arab Emirates and so many more places, and whether that was because they accidentally clicked onto the wrong link or because someone told them about my blog, I'm happy they stumbled onto it. If you're a regular reader than I thank you so much for reading my blog, it excites me so much, the idea that someone enjoys my writing enough to read it regularly and think that it might actually be good. This blog is one of my stress relievers, when things get too much I write, to forget for a little while, and when I see that people have read my posts it makes me feel a lot better.To anyone who has read my blog, shared it, follows me on social media, commented on my posts used those hashtags I mentioned, thank you so much, it really does mean a lot.

New info on Nissan's Ram-based Titan pickup
More details have emerged about the next-generation Dodge Ram-based Nissan Titan pickup. Questions about how similar the two trucks will be have been partially answered, as Pickuptruck.com reports that the Titan and Ram will share only their doors and roof panels. The next-gen Titan will feature an exterior and interior designed solely by Nissan, which should put to rest concerns about a rebadged Dodge Ram. The two trucks will, however, share platforms, the Ram's new coil-sprung rear suspension,
