Review this game
Oct 18, 2014Playing 'Rain' was a lovely experience. It is a charming and beautiful game that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is a puzzle game aimed more at a relaxing time with the innovative theme, rather than fast paced action, which for once I enjoyed and preferred.
There were a few occasions where the art layout of the streets created a bit of confusion with the puzzles - such as escaping the 'Unknown' and trying to run up stairs which weren't part of the gameplay space. If it were for these I would have given it a higher rating, but well worth the small price tag.… Expand
Oct 10, 2014Valutare Rain non è facile. Avrete già capito da soli, leggendo questa recensione, che questo videogioco non è adatto a tutti e che purtroppo in pochi sapranno apprezzarlo. Pur mostrandosi con un'idea originale non ne sfrutta il potenziale e cade nella sua stessa semplicità che porterà il giocatore a dover ripetere le stesse azioni per le 3-4 ore che gli saranno necessarie a completare il gioco. Una volta terminato, iniziando una nuova partita troverete sparsi per le strade dei ricordi che racconteranno il passato dei due bambini. Se ritenete di poter metter da parte l'azione e la frenesia a cui i videogiochi ci hanno abituato e gli darete un'occasione, Rain vi prenderà per mano e vi catturerà con la sua malinconia. Ma se pensate di non potervi concedere una pausa dalle vostre guerriglie online, rilassandovi guardando la pioggia cadere sui vostri schermi, non considerate l'acquisto di questa poetica esperienza. La scelta è quindi vincolata ai vostri gusti personali, per questo non ritengo di poter consigliarne l'acquisto, anche se la qualità del titolo è indubbiamente buona. Aprirete gli ombrelli per ripararvi dalla pioggia o vi lascerete trasportare da questa fiaba?… Expand
Aug 25, 2014I loved my time with rain. The art style and the story was very amazing. I completely adore the soundtracks of this game. This game is a rare gem, and therefore my money well spent.
Apr 2, 2014This is what could be if Silent Hill was a fairytail. I absolutely loved an atmosphere, world design and music. The end is pretty much predictable, however I still loved it. 10 0f 10.
Feb 5, 2014This game was good looking but boy was it boring. The "puzzles" aren't much of a puzzle if it is obvious. It introduces concepts that I thought would get harder but they just disappear. Lots of just walking around in the rain. Hardest part was sometimes you couldn't figure out where you were because you are invisible and only have footprints to locate. Story was arty nonsense.
Jan 26, 2014In short Rain is beautiful,short,sad and immersive. Like every game it does come with flaws....the main ones being how short it is and once you beat it that's pretty much it....however if you can immerse yourself in this beautiful,stunning world then you will come out of this game like me amazed
Dec 21, 2013This was a very unique and Good game, from both the style of which the story is told down to the game play itself. It is not a long game but it is an engrossing one with some bit replayability also.
Nov 21, 2013Rain has to be my best purchase this year! With a beautiful soundtrack and wonderful atmosphere I got sucked into the world of rain almost immediately. It's the type of game that only comes around once every couple of years. Everything was so perfect there's nothing i can say i would change. If i had to pick one word to describe this game it would "Simple".
Nov 7, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't understand how some people do not see the beauty in this game. The water colors at the prologue and ending were just outstanding, sure it made it a little hard to see things, but its WATERCOLOR. The music was very good in my opinion it had that sorrow feeling of the two being trapped in the European city, most likely Italy. The story was probably familiar, we've all seen those cheesy movie. But at the end when the Unknown crushed the boy I was generally shocked. I thought that monster was dead and the girl left because she thought the boy was like her, really sick, was just a little sad.
At that one part in the story where the girl finds her real home and then sees her sick little body and tries to wake herself up, that was done well. It was sad. Could you imagine being trapped in a rainy world then finding your sick body in a bed not waking up? Then afterwards when the Unknown came into the house and chased the girl away I thought she was gone for good. Then she popped back up again in The Unknown Town, where you had to find a way through the city to meet with her again and finally up an end the the creature of the night by opening the doors of the real city.
The camera angles were a bit weird and hard to control at times and there were probably bugs, but its not a perfect game. No game is. Not your Call of Duty, your MineCraft or even The Last of Us. They aren't perfect games.
Now I think early on most people gave this game negativity because 'lack of game play', I don't think people of this generation appreciate games like this anymore. It wasn't about the game play, but the experience and story.
I love how the watercolors were implanted instead of making it a rainy cut-scene. It gives an art style you don't see in games nowadays and it still manages to uphold that watery feel to the game.
It's a short game only 8 chapters long, but I promise you won't regret it if you're into these kind of games.… Expand
One of the best gaming artistic experiences I ever had. Set in a European city, probably Paris, in a wet raining night, escaping from what it is the metaphor of an illness. In terms of gameplay it may seem a bit weak, but that its not what the games focus on, it is all about the experience. Also you bet you will still manage to die anyway. I have been a bit disappointed by the ending, that like the prologue turned into a water colours clip. But apart from that the journey gives what intended to, what any lover of raining days does expect. It can't be missed, you won't regret it.… Collapse
Nov 4, 2013The game is great stealth game that is very pretty and has great sound design that unfortunately overstays its welcome.
The game's premise is interesting, enough to keep you until the end to find out what's going on. And the ending does wrap things up quite nicely, with some great Fridge Brilliance concepts. The premise of a boy lost in a strange world of invisible creatures that only appear because the rain is falling on them keeps you on your toes, always wondering if one of those things is going to jump out into the rain and eat you dead. The stealth element is wonderfully done, with you knowing well when you're hidden and when you're visible. There's very few times in the game when you as the player can't deduce where he is, as things like footprints and upturned dust and items always provide clues to where your character is moving.
The music and visual design are very well done, though the beginning and ending cutscenes with the vague watercolor style may feel a little misplaced. The soft constant rain is soothing and the sound of enemy feet tense. The narrative, told through floating words, is wonderfully done, though it can be taken as a lot of telling instead of showing sometimes. I could feel my character's unease when walking away from encounters with enemies, as he folded his hands and glanced about, and as he shielded his eyes against the rain, peering into the darkness around him. The level design and camera can be annoying sometimes, with the way forward not always properly marked or highlighted, and the camera sometimes favoring the vista over seeing where your character should be standing. That being said, unless you specifically jump, it is often times impossible to run your character off a ledge he wasn't supposed to jump off, which means you can focus a little more on the vistas presented. The game has a hints system, but it is selective as to when you're allowed to see the hints, and when it does, they're just telling you the logic behind the puzzle, which most of the time you've already figured out; what would be better in the few times you need a hint would be to point out the place in the landscape you need to go, which it what it often times does without your prompt with movable boxes and climbable ladders.
Unfortunately, the game paradoxically is both too short and too long. Many gameplay elements are introduced, used once or twice, and then completely forgotten about. For example, a gameplay element in the first chapter, breaking down scaffolding, is needed to get to the level exit, but is never used again afterwards. There's a great element introduced later about moving cover that is used maybe twice immediately after it was introduced. The story feels like it reaches its climax in chapter 5, only for it to continue for another 3 chapters after with repeated gameplay. The story during these last 3 chapters feels like it's stuck on loop, with gameplay using mechanics only from the first chapter and none of the later ones, and will have you saying "Oh, come on! Not again!" right up until the actually quite excellent ending.
If you like stealth gameplay, it's a must get. Just be forewarned that you may be a little irritated by how long it feels like its going, and by how long it actually went.… Expand
Nov 2, 2013Rain puts you in the role of a young boy who, for reasons that are never comprehensively explained, finds himself invisible and thus can only been seen when standing in the pouring rain. Pretty soon he meets up with a young girl, who also happens to be invisible, and together they attempt to avoid the strange creatures they are stalking them through the night. When walking under shelter the boy cannot be seen and the majority of the gameplay sees the player utilizing the visibility of the boy, and other creatures, in the rain to solve various puzzles and tasks.
As with many of these smaller budget games Rain isn't without its flaws and certainly some of the better ideas needed to be developed further. The text narrative, that is at first helpful in explaining the plot, soon becomes rather intrusive and often leads the player by the hand rather than allowing to explore things for themselves. While it was only ever a minor annoyance I could also have done without a number of deaths that were caused by either not quite knowing I was when invisible or because of unhelpful camera angles.
Despite these flaws however I did find Rain as easy game to enjoy. The excellent atmosphere created by the invisibility effects and the haunting soundtrack instantly drew me in and, whilst the central gameplay is certainly not as intelligent as something like Braid, there are more than enough clever puzzles and ideas to fill out the games three to four hour running time. You'll have decide for yourself whether £10 is good value for such a short game but I'd heartily recommend giving it a try.… Expand
Nov 1, 2013Imaginative, thoughtful, and endearing, however, I thought it was too short and not challenging enough; more an auditory/visual treat than game that will challenge you 7.5/10
Oct 18, 2013Like an E-rated "LIMBO," "Rain" is a beautiful, dark, atmospheric piece that has a more innocent heart at its core. It is the perfect game to play during a quiet, rainy, lonely evening at home. The story is simplistic and doesn't come with any real 'twists' or surprises at any point, but it works for the kind of experience that the game is intended to provide. If you've enjoyed independent artsy games along the vein of LIMBO, Journey, and Unfinished Swan, then this is exactly the kind of experience you'd come to expect, and it fits nicely as another example of the many independent games which have come out in recent years which could be considered "art."… Expand
Oct 17, 2013Rain is a wonderful game to play in terms of visuals and sounds, but the gameplay mechanic doesn't settle as either deep or simple. Instead it's in a limbo where the gameplay often simplifies to focus on story and characters which is fine, but then throws in some mediocre puzzles with too much focus on trial and error. I want to invest my mind into the world of rain but the gameplay prevented me from doing so. The storytelling can be abstract but in an enjoyable way that makes you curious rather than repulsed. I was not fond of the text popping up as it made the story unbearably unsubtle to me, but I still cared for the two main characters by the end so it's not major. Play it if you like artistic puzzle games such as Ico, just don't expect Rain to be as good in gameplay quality as Ico is.… Expand
Oct 10, 2013You have to know what to expect before going into Rain. If you expect a highly obvious, complex, or action-packed game, you'll leave disappointed. However, if you enter it, just wanting a fresh artistic experience amid all the generic action crap nowadays, you'll definitely be impressed. It's a beautiful story with highly unique gameplay, and that's what I'm looking for in games most of all. Draw your own interpretations. Honestly, it felt like one of those darker Disney movies they used to produce before this past decade. However, I found issues with its constant pressuring you to advance. You don't have enough time to appreciate the atmosphere and read the captions because usually the enemies are chasing you and whatnot. Other than that, it was a great experience, and I hope Sony produces more of them. This on top of Beyond: Two Souls, which I'm playing now (Amazing!). We need more fresh experiences and less trendy, generic action crap, once again!… Expand
Oct 8, 2013You have to be patient to understand and appreciate what RAIN is all about. It's an indie game (and a beautiful, haunting one), that captivated me right from the first minute. The loneliness, the magic, the music, the atmosphere. For some reason it reminds me of Carlos Ruiz Zafon's books, I don't know why. But also, ICO. It is is a [very] short game, yes. But trust me, it won't matter. It's not about length; it's about feeling. And RAIN delivers it. A lot, actually. I honestly think this game should not be missed.… Expand
Oct 6, 2013Nice "indie style game", great story in the line of Journey and others. Great songs but a little repetitive. In 3-4 hours you can beat the game but as a great replay value. I ever recommend this type of games, are really pleasant! Sorry forr my english and greatings from Spain, Enjoy this game!
Oct 3, 2013Sadly, rain doesn't make anything out of it's interesting wet vs. dry concepts, instead let's you walk through an extremely linear gameworld and do the same, simple, boring and uninspired stuff you've done in too many similar games before. Push a box here to climb up there. Pull a lever here, jump there. The graphics, while pretty, are technically surprisingly weak and the story is exactly what you'd expect. The solutions to each area are obvious but the game still holds your hand throughout the game and tells you what to do before you even get to try anything. It's not that you can't have good moments with this game, it's just that it's so forgettable and uninspired.… Expand
Oct 2, 2013This is actually a really fun game. Well, part game and part experience. It doesn't let you stray too far from the main directive but it is a great experience. Whether you buy it full price or at a discount this is worth every penny.
Oct 2, 2013In short Rain is beautiful,short,sad and immersive. Like every game it does come with flaws....the main ones being how short it is and once you beat it that's pretty much it....however if you can immerse yourself in this beautiful,stunning world then you will come out of this game like me amazed.

Apr 19, 2014Without any multiplayer, exploration, or any other significant points of interest, Rain is a short, easy ride you'd be hard-pressed to venture into more than once.
Jan 30, 2014Rain drops shows more than just silhouettes, with its great take on atmosphere and beautiful musical score, Rain is a classic.

The Immortalists: Charles Lindbergh, Dr. Alexis Carrel, and Their Daring Quest to Live Forever (Hardcover)
Not currently shipping from publisher – Subject to future availability
He was one of the most famous men of the twentieth century, the subject of best–selling biographies and a hit movie, as well as the inspiration for a dance step – the Lindy Hop – he himself was too shy to try. But for all the attention lavished on Charles Lindbergh, one story has remained untold until now: his macabre scientific collaboration with Dr. Alexis Carrel. Together this oddest of couples – one a brilliant surgeon turned social engineer, the other a failed dirt farmer turned hero of the skies – embarked on a secret quest to achieve immortality.
Their endeavor began on November 28, 1930, in Carrel's laboratory at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York, a haven created by the world's richest man, John D. Rockefeller, so that medical investigators could pursue their wildest dreams, freed from the demands of clinical practice. For Carrel, who won the Nobel Prize in 1912 for pioneering organ transplants, that dream was conquering death. But not for everyone – only a special few.
In one of his more ghoulish experiments, Carrel removed the heart from a chick embryo and placed it in a glass jar, where, with special cleansing and feeding, he kept it alive, with no signs of aging, far beyond the species' natural life span. That result, Carrel believed, suggested that natural death wasn't inevitable.
But to attempt such a test with humans, Carrel needed a mechanical genius to create a device in which severed human organs could live and function indefin–itely. Might that genius be the handsome pilot who astonished the world in May 1927 by flying alone across the Atlantic – a feat even most pilots had thought impos–sible – in a single–engine airplane he designed himself?
Part Frankenstein, part The Professor and the Mad–man, and all true, The Immortalists is the remarkable story of how two men of prodigious achievement, and equally large character flaws, challenged nature's oldest rule, with consequences – personal, professional, and political – neither man anticipated.
About the Author
David M. Friedman has written for Esquire, GQ, and Rolling Stone, and was a reporter for New York Newsday and the Philadelphia Daily News. His first book, A Mind of Its Own: A Cultural History of the Penis, was published in more than a dozen countries. He lives in New York.
Praise for The Immortalists: Charles Lindbergh, Dr. Alexis Carrel, and Their Daring Quest to Live Forever…
"Fascinating and deeply disturbing. I love this book.
-Simon Winchester (bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman)
David M. Friedman's The Immortalists reads like riveting historical fiction but raises provocative questions about the shape of the future.
-Ron Rosenbaum, best-selling author of The Shakespeare Wars and Explaining Hitler
"Difficult to put down...this is the book to read."
-New York Times

However, sometimes they took boats to Valinor, such as at the end of Lord of the Rings, and other times they died of injury and had no chance to. Would they end up in the same place either way?

Interview from Grup Fotograpfic Manlleu
From travelling the US baseball fields of the Minor League, to documenting parts of Alaska. The work of Michael Hanson (Atlanta, 1981) displays several topics all around North (Urban Farms, Amish) and South America (Peru, Chuao), among other places on Earth.
Manlleu Camera Club, had the chance to chat with this Seattle based photographer, with clients such as; The New York Times, Outside, USA Today, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Continental Airlines, US Airways, Starbucks, or Sierra Club among others. A must read interview, if you're interested in Life, with or without a camera in hand.
GFM. How did you start photography? How was your transformation from baseball player to professional photographer?
MH. I took photography classes in high school and always enjoyed the process which, at that time, was centered around chemicals and the darkroom with black and white images. It felt so tactile. I was distracted by so many other things but always knew photography was going to be at least a hobby. My last year in the minor leagues was frustrating as the curve ball became more difficult to hit and at the same time, I became more and more curious about what was next in life. The lifestyle of a minor league baseball player is pretty fascinating. Young kids, many with lots of money and very little supervision, live in hotels in small towns, and I wanted to tell this story but didn't know how. Documentary photography is the truest art form. I didn't want to create anything, I just wanted to record everything…

Meaningful Memorial Day
Woodmore High School was opened and the activities took place there, carrying out Elmore's Memorial Day activities. No, the sun was not shining and the morning was somber, giving each one attending more of a Memorial Day feeling about the loss of loved ones that have fought and died for our country.
We are so appreciative of everyone who made last-minute changes to have a very meaningful Memorial Day Ceremony.
We would like to thank the person or persons who paid for our parents' meal at Applebee's on May 17. Our parents are elderly – 87 and 90 – and still enjoy going out to eat. When they went to pay their bill, the waitress told them that it had been taken care of and that the person had left.
It was a very nice thing for someone to do and we personally would like to thank them for their thoughtfulness.
Most of the time, you don't see all the helpers on the news; they are the heroic individuals who donate their time and/or support the fundraising efforts. For example, there were many heroes on a chilly Saturday morning on May 11.
Despite the 46 degree temperature, a few Clay High School Volunteer Focus members sponsored a car wash to raise money for Vail Meadows Therapeutic Riding Center. There were many heroes that morning – from the students who washed cars to Advance Auto Parts who donated all the supplies, to those who made donations to have their car(s) washed, to those who just made donations.
There are a lot of "helpers" that you never see. It was so heartfelt and touching to listen to stories of how Vail Meadows has helped family members, stories of friendships with the horses and the Vail family. There were donations made, both large and small; one individual was on her way to visit family in the hospital and still took time to stop and make a donation.
Another gentleman offered to buy the volunteers hot chocolate. When he told the McDonald's employee what he was doing, the manager at the McDonald's on Woodville Road donated not only hot chocolate, but French fries and burgers too for all the volunteers. Advance Auto Parts also matched a purchase made by this same individual of additional cleaning supplies.
Clay High School Volunteer Focus Members would like to say thank you to all the "helpers" who took time out of their busy day to "pay it forward." No matter what your donation, you really make a difference.
First of all, Mr. Kapustar makes it perfectly clear where he stands with his political beliefs, as did Bosch did the week before. However, I see a big difference on how the two support their beliefs. Mrs. Bosch explained her beliefs very clearly and well without bashing anyone in the process. She doesn't believe that two people of the same gender should be allowed to be married. She never stated that she "hated" or even disliked someone for being gay. She then backed up her argument with her religious beliefs, which is still guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Mr. Kapustar started his response civilly until mocking religion by calling Mrs. Bosch's religion "outdated." He then continued bashing Republicans, which Mrs. Bosch never claimed to be, calling them greedy, and blaming broken unions and mass poverty on them.
If this weren't enough, he also believes that Republicans are animals who love torture and go around shooting kids with their guns. Oh and I forgot to mention that Republicans are all racist, sexists homophobes who hate liberals, accordingly to Mr. Kapustar.
I consider myself a Conservative, who typically votes Republican. I know many Conservative/Republicans and cannot say that Mr. Kapustar's view on them is even remotely accurate. I have many Liberal/Democrat friends as well and I would never speak of them the way Mr. Kapustar did of Republicans. I have respect for human life and will do my best to defend liberty, equality and justice for all.
Wrong on many levels, Mr. Kapustar? Yes it is. From your letter I can see that there is much anger and hatred, but it is not from Mrs. Bosch, religion or a political party. The anger and hatred comes when individuals cannot or will not respect another's opinion. Every American has the right to freely express him or herself and to debate issues. However, when the debate ends in name calling and no offer of an alternative solution, the debate is lost.
Then liberty is lost.

A variety of gluten-safe pastries, such as these, will soon be available in The Bluff View Art District. Staff Photo by Allison Carter/Chattanooga Times Free Press
The National Institutes of Health estimates one in every 133 people suffers from celiac disease, an immune reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley.
After encountering many customers asking about gluten-free items, restaurant managers at the Bluff View Art District decided to take action.
Though they have always tried to be aware of food allergens, said director of operations Michael Vasta, a growing level of concern regarding gluten was the motivating factor for creating gluten-safe menus at the eateries contained in the Bluff View Art District. The Art District restaurants join a growing list of Chattanooga-area eateries with gluten-safe menu items (see box).
"We used to [say] 'Well, we'll just have them have a salad,'" Vasta said, "And it's like, 'Well, that's not much fun.'"
Vasta has a personal stake in the evolution as well — he was recently diagnosed with celiac disease.
"For a foodie like myself, to be told something like this ... was really kind of devastating, because now all of a sudden you're limited as far as what you can and can't eat," Vasta said.
According to the National Institutes of Health, celiac disease is an immune reaction to the protein gluten. In celiac patients, gluten consumption damages the villi lining the small intestine. Healthy villi allow the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. However, damaged villi can lead to gastrointestinal issues, osteoporosis, hair loss and infertility.
"I thought what a great opportunity to get in and offer something to people so that when they come in, they know that the restaurant is conscientious about celiac and gluten intolerance, and that they know we have that in our brain," Vasta said.
The official launch is May 1, in honor of Celiac Awareness month, but the preparations in the kitchen have already started.
They have hired a pastry chef who specializes in gluten-free items. Gluten-safe pastries will be made with almond flour, which is already used in making macaroons. The Bluff View chocolate kitchen, already flour free, will now double as the gluten-safe pastry kitchen.
For an item to be certified as gluten-free, it must contain less than 10 parts per million gluten in a single product. In order to avoid harm to anyone with a severe intolerance, Bluff View is using the term "gluten-safe" said director of marketing Michelle Kephardt.
"We are taking measures to make sure things are stored separately and cooked separately, however we cannot make the claim of gluten-free."
She said they are "constantly" asked about gluten free offerings. "This is going to be a way for both our celiac driven and our gluten free customers to enjoy our services."
While the Bluff View Bakery will not be offering gluten safe items, there will be an array of gluten-safe pastries, all of which will be displayed in a single container at Rembrandts Coffee House. Having separate kitchens for pasta and pastries help control the environment.
For the time being, they will be purchasing certified gluten free pastas and pizza crust. Vasta said the plan is to eventually make their own pizza dough, but the cost of incurring a second pasta machine may not be prudent at the time.
The gluten-safe menus will be very similar to the standard ones, with some slight adjustments, Kephardt said, such as substituting plain potatoes for French fries to avoid contamination from a fryer.
Ultimately, the decision to focus on gluten-free selections came out of "numerous requests from diners and people wanting to feel normal when coming to a restaurant," Kephardt said.
And rather than simply indicating gluten safe items on the existing menus, Bluff View decided to create special menus.
"We didn't want to have a menu that was full of 'don'ts,'" Vasta said, "'You can't have this, you can't have this.' We wanted to say 'Here's a menu and here's all things you can eat.' "

Read the article, ceeweed. Bluff View is providing a wonderful alternative. Celiac disease is a real problem for many and I applaud the insight Bluff View has.

deserves that chance.
Do you think it's a good move to The Championship for him?
Of course. It's his first experience of first-team football. I think he can handle it and I'm sure he will do well with the help of all of his team-mates of course.
He deserves a break after his injury problems..
He was out for around two years but now he's been back playing for a year and a half now so it's a good thing for him. I think he's going to do well once he gets the opportunity.
You're in and around the first-team squad and were on the bench at West Ham. Is the aim to keep pushing for a place?
Of course. I have to push myself and train hard every day. Of course, in front of me, I've got top, top players like Robin [van Persie], Wayne [Rooney]; Chicha [Javier Hernandez] and Welbz [Danny Welbeck] as well. It's hard for me to get in the first team but I have to train hard for myself for the future. I'm still only young.
Do you hope your form for the Under-21s is impressing the manager?
I don't know about that as, obviously, I'm a striker and I hope to score a goal in every game. But it's good to be top goalscorer of the Under-21s and I'm happy about it.
You were unlucky with your last loan moves as the two managers left soon after you joined..
I had very bad luck with the loans but I think it helped me a lot. I think it helped me to gain experience in general. If I go out again on loan, I'm sure I will do well. I have been away two times already and, if it happens again, I'd look forward to getting playing time because maybe I made some mistakes but now I understand, I will take the chances I will have.

From the time denim hit the market as functional, industrial uniforms to the moment skinny jeans became a staple in every woman's closet, denim has always been a must-have. No closet is complete without a pair of worn-in, comfy boyfriend jeans — nor a pair of fierce dark wash jeans for days when you want to turn heads and take numbers. But it's the celebrity denim culture that also fuels our love of amazing jeans. Seeing women like Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Kate Upton rocking our favorite brands in new and exciting (and sometimes totally off-duty) ways keeps us craving denim in our wardrobes. Harpers Bazaar takes a look at some of the ultimate jean queens of our current culture.

Taylor Swift was recently spotted strolling in New York wearing a pair of Black Orchid Black Jewel Jeggings in Malaga Wine (grab a similar pair of skinnies here). Colored skinny jeans are one of our favorite picks for transitional dressing between seasons, and Taylor nailed this lok wtith a neutral peak coat, a simple chic bag, and plaid scarf. She must know she looks good, too — she looks pretty content.

Shailene Woodley, Divergent star who apparently loves saying "badass" (a little celeb trivia for you this afternoon) posed in front of the movie poster for the film she is featured in, wearing a pair of Levi's Denim Shorts that seriously made us wish for warmer days. We love everything about this look, right down to how comfortable she appears in the ensemble. She paired the shorts with a simple leather jacket over a hoodie, and a sheer knit top.

It-model Cara Delevinge was recently spotted wearing Current/Elliott The Stiletto Jeans in Shredded. As much as we loved seeing her all over the runways for the Fall 2014 season (especially at Chanel), we definitely love this model off duty, laid back look. She paired the jeans with a varsity jacket layered under a leather jacket, and a cranberry knit tank. To Current/Elliot's credit, in order for destroyed denim to look legit, it has to appear sporadic and authentic. We think the brand accomplished this with these jeans.
Grab a pair of Current/Elliott The Stiletto Jeans in Shredded, and make this look your own!

Fashion Week has wound down on a global scale, and we're kind of glad it has (refreshing Style.com every 5 minutes is exhausting). But we're willing to backtrack to Paris Fashion Week for a moment to appreciate Kate Mara of House of Cards' chic denim-on-denim ensemble at the Louis Vuitton show. Reports The Cut:
"The actress kept her outfit casual and her palette monochrome, pairing her denim tank dress with a matching jean jacket and indigo clutch. She finished off the all-denim look with a pair of ubiquitous snakeskin heels — suggesting that she may not be quite the brazen risk-taker that her House of Cards character makes her out to be."

To celebrate the Oscars this Sunday night, Levis whipped up a fun retrospective of denim cameos in famous cinema throughout the years. From Audrey Hepburn "wearing the pants" in her relationship in Breakfast at Tiffany's to the incredible style in West Side Story, we're pretty sure you'll recognize some of these iconic moments in jean history:
"It's Oscar time. That means dazzling gowns, tailored tuxes and … denim?
Yep! While it's not often associated with the red carpet, iconic indigo has a definitive place in Hollywood when it comes to the films themselves. Since the 1950s, onscreen jeans have created a cinematic archive of popular styles over the years, setting trends as they record them.

Rihanna is featured on the March issue of Vogue—the same one that has a very innovative new kind of ad placed in it by Gap.

Gap's Lived-In global marketing campaign features emerging and talented young artists including musicians, singers, actors and photographers wearing their authentic, worn-in Gap staples: youthful interpretations of classic, casual styles.

The campaign includes Trinidadian-born American recording artist Theophilus London; English singer-songwriters Birdy and Anna Calvi; American actors RJ Mitte and Julia Garner; Swedish photographer Lina Scheynius; and American singer-songwriter and record producer Ernest Green (performing under the stage name Washed Out).
A second interesting component to the campaign includes an ad in Vogue magazine's March issue: a first-ever tactile fabric print ad, which includes a fabric logo made from the cotton of a worn-in tee, driving home the idea of clothes you can live in.

Ted Cruz, a Republican, represents Texas in the Senate.
Since Election Day, much energy has been spent analyzing why Republicans did so poorly. Many have urged that Republicans must "moderate their views," by which they mean we should adopt more policies of Democrats.
That advice misdiagnoses the problem. The 2012 election did not reflect popular approval of the Obama policies of out-of-control spending, taxes, deficits and debt. To the contrary, 51 percent of voters on Election Day agreed that "government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals."

I read with interest and some confusion the Letter to the Editor by James P. Ward published on July 31, regarding Herman Sirois' resignation. I'm not sure what response Mr. Ward expected from the community. Rioting and/or rejoicing in the streets?
"Old soldiers never die - they just fade away." was among the concluding comments of General Douglas MacArthur, on April 19, 1951, before a packed joint session of Congress. A week earlier, on April 11, 1951, President Harry S. Truman relieved MacArthur of his command as commander of United Nations forces for the General's insubordination and unwillingness to conduct a limited war on the Korean peninsula.

"This house," he said, "I think demonstrates the American democratic system." Ya think?
Bravo to Tom Caro for speaking on behalf of many, many taxpayers of this district. If the board of education and administration were as thoughtful as he is on these issues perhaps our burdensome tax rates would not be so!
Over the last 25 years, although I suspect that many residents might be in denial on this point, the Nassau County that historian Edward Smits dubbed "Suburbia, USA" has become more urbanized; more Queens-like. We now discuss issues like crime, homelessness, taxes, and immigration in a manner that, prior to 1980, would have been seen largely as Big City concerns: concerns of places like Queens.
Two weeks ago marked the first official week of the summer. It also marked the beginning of Lightning Safety Week, a week of education and awareness designated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

A chat with the co-owner of Del's Restaurant March 9, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in History, People, Restaurants.
Tags: Del's Restaurant, Tucumcari
As part of his "Genuine Route 66 Life" series, KC Keefer interviews Yvette Peacock, co-owner of Del's Restaurant in Tucumcari, N.M. The restaurant opened in 1956.
And although Del's naturally plays up the beef part of its menu, its Mexican dishes are praised far and wide.

Busting the U.S. budget
- Details

In 1791, during George Washington's first term in office, our nation's debt totaled $77 million. In contrast to the numbers that are thrown around so casually today, which are in the billions and trillions, this number seems almost trivial. But in 1791, the debt, most of which was incurred during the American Revolution was no small matter.
For a nation of only 4 million, the amount we owed our creditors was the equivalent of approximately 40 percent of our young nation's gross domestic product. Fortunately, thanks to the foresight of men like Alexander Hamilton, our first secretary of the treasury, and yes, a few new taxes, the size of the national debt was brought back to more reasonable proportions.
Today, we're at a similar crossroads. We're facing a massive debt, and no matter where you stand politically, before long it's an issue we're going to have to confront. The numbers are staggering. Starting in the early part of the decade, oddly enough, during a period of Republican dominance in both the Congress and the White House, the federal government nearly doubled the size of the debt.
In 2000, the national debt was $5.6 trillion. However, by late 2007, it was $9 trillion. Since then it's kept growing.
President Obama, fearing an economic meltdown, called for an economic stimulus package. He got it, but over the next few years, it's going to cost more than $700 billion. Other spending, without much worry about where the money is coming from, has increased dramatically as well. Future plans are likely to make it even worse.
The 2010 budget for the United States will have a projected deficit of over $1.6 trillion dollars. What's more, this level of deficit spending is expected to continue for at least the next five years. Of course, there are some factors that could trim this back. Additional taxes could yield additional revenue that could reduce the deficit. Also, as was the case in the 1990s, an expansion in the economy could also increase revenue and trim the deficit. Ten years ago, additional revenue brought in by an expanding economy all but eliminated the annual debt.
One measure of the debt and what it means is its percentage of the gross domestic product. This, at least, puts these big numbers in some perspective. The projected annual debt incurred by the United States for 2009 is $1.6 trillion. That translates into a little over 8 percent of the nation's GDP. That's substantial, and, when compared to 2007's 3.4 percent, represents a massive increase.
The federal debt is made up of a range of different borrowing instruments. However, the ones we're most familiar with — the publicly traded debt — include treasury bills, notes, and bonds. While most of the sales are domestic, nearly 30 percent of our debt is held by other countries. The largest holder of U.S. debt is China with approximately $770 billion and growing. Japan is the next largest holder, followed by the United Kingdom.
One fear the Treasury has about issuing debt is the ability to sell it. U.S debt has consistently been popular, and for the most part, with only some occasional and very rare exceptions, hasn't been that hard to sell. However, as confidence in the U.S. economy ebbs and the amount of debt grows, moving this mountain of debt, at least at a manageable interest rate, could get more difficult.
While the debt may seem like a remote figure for many of us — imagining what $11 trillion looks like is beyond my imagination (a trillion is a thousand billion) — it has a very real impact on our yearly budget. Paying the interest on the debt, referred to as debt service, is a major government expense. Last year interest on the debt reached $249 billion, or roughly 8 percent of our annual budget. Currently, the cost of servicing the debt is the equivalent of about half what we spend on national defense. In the next few years it's likely to grow substantially larger.
What seems to have happened, and this has afflicted both Democrats and Republicans, is that we have lost the connection between spending money and raising revenue. What this means is that both sides are going to have to face the unpleasant reality that they simply don't have enough money to do everything they want. Budget reductions, and perhaps big ones, are in our future. We have to face this. Even if it means the sacrifice of some programs and spending that are near and dear to many of us.

In our sports-obsessed culture, far too often the term hero gets tossed around a bit casually. Not only should it be restricted to the likes of service members and civil service workers who put their lives on the line everyday, but definitely for the late G. Michael Godfrey, the former chief of the South Floral Park Fire Department. A volunteer firefighter for 35 years, he spent seven of them as the chief of the department.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way."
Thus begins Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, which for my money is the most memorable opening of any novel written in the English language. It encompasses all the nuances and shades of the vast human comedy, both its glory and absurdity. This past week was a good example of some of its foolishness. In an informal interview Dan Cathy, president of Chick-fil - A, a popular restaurant franchise, expressed his view that marriage should be between a man and woman.
The Village of Floral Park has applied for funding from the State of New York in order to support its innovative proposal to create a state-of-the-art Clean Energy Facility with Belmont Park. Just like its sister communities of Long Island that have already created their own electric utility services, such as Rockville Centre, Freeport and Greenport, Floral Park's proposal could dramatically reduce residents' monthly utility bills while providing more ecologically friendly and reliable electrical service to its residents. The proposal would also put into place some of the infrastructure at Belmont Park that will be needed in order to support improvements at its 435-acre property that is fully owned and controlled by the State of New York.
On Friday, July 27, the opening ceremony for the Games of the XXX Olympiad will be held in London, England. With more than 10,000 from 204 Olympic National Committees expected to participate, this will be the largest multi-sport event ever to be held in the United Kingdom. The United States will be sending 530 athletes across the pond and while none are from Garden City, the village has ties to its own piece of Olympic history by way of the late Al Oerter, an alumnus of Sewanhaka High School. From 1956 to 1968, Oerter won medals for the discus, becoming the first track and field athlete to win four consecutive gold medals. Even though he made a failed attempt to make the American team in 1980 at the age of 43, he forever became an ambassador for the Games. So much so that the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation opened the Al Oerter Recreation Center at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in 2009, two years after his death from heart disease.

The summer movie season has been reserved for loud and frenetic action flicks for a while, but in recent years this May-September stretch has been dominated by comic book superheroes. This weekend, millions of moviegoers will continue to enjoy the adventures of Batman, Spiderman and the Avengers at the multiplex, snacking on popcorn while superheroes in colorful costumes (except for Batman) take on the bad guys, all while looking fabulous and cracking wise with witty remarks (except for Batman.)
However, while men and women in suspiciously form-fitting outfits might be raking in millions in theaters, the medium that spawned them all—the colorful comic book—is in a pretty sorry state. These days, kids who want a good power fantasy are about a thousand times more likely to play a videogame than to reach for a comic book, meaning that superhero comics are increasingly being written for the adults who grew up reading them in the '70s and '80s rather than children. Major publishers Marvel and DC have made some tepid efforts to reach out to the next generation, but for the most part, it's a medium kept afloat by an ever-shrinking pool of individuals who continue to buy comics more out of habit and nostalgia than much real enthusiasm for the product.
Few movies have been more bleak, punishing and existential than The Dark Knight Rises, the third and final movie in the Batman trilogy. Notwithstanding its "all's well that ends well" finale, for 164 unrelenting minutes the audience is assaulted with a savagery that nearly belies description as the fabled city of Gotham is literally razed by a 21st-century version of Huns and Visigoths armed with killing machines and heavy duty weaponry. I don't think movies and video games, no matter how violent, precipitate mass murder, although it's not implausible that images of uproarious and unremitting violence may cause a brittle sanity under prolonged and extreme distress to crack, resulting in an orgy of bloodshed. This pretty much capsules what happened in a Colorado multiplex where we have 12 dead and many dozens wounded in the latest rampage by a tormented loner obsessed with killing on a mass scale.
According to LIPA, conservation is the operative word when dealing with the scorching temperatures and withering humidity that's continued to make perspiring feel like it should be considered a demonstration sport at the upcoming London Olympics. While no one is suggesting you quietly simmer in your household with the air conditioner off, the best option would be to take advantage of the Floral Park Recreation Center. Officially open for the season on June 9, the pool has a wide-ranging number of events aimed at kids of all ages. On July 26, D&J Refreshments is sponsoring a 1950s Roll Back Night, July 27 is when patrons get to indulge their sweet tooth with Top Your Own Sundae and August 2 is a Moonlight Movies theme where poolside videos of the latest releases and all-time children's movies that the whole family can enjoy will be screened. For more information, be sure to visit the Floral Park Pool webpage. In the meantime, it all adds up to probably the best way to beat the heat and keep your electric bill down.

In response to Susan Lerner's opinion piece in Newsday on July 3, entitled "Voters Are The Losers In Nassau Fight," The League of Women Voters of Nassau County believes in many of the same principles Ms Lerner proposes. As a nonpartisan organization, the league has repeatedly spoken before the county legislature and to the temporary advisory redistricting commission for a fairer and more transparent process for redistricting than is currently being considered by this advisory commission.
The league believes first that the advisory commission should conduct hearings to receive input from residents about how the process should occur and suggestions on how district lines should be drawn. Then, after the commission creates proposed districts, there should be additional public hearings to discuss them. These hearings should be in all three towns and two cities in Nassau County and should occur at a variety of times (day and evening) and at multiple locations in order to accommodate as many people as possible. Equally important is that all meeting locations be handicapped-accessible.
MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota is once again trying to unfairly malign the communities from Queens Village to Hicksville for their successful campaign to derail the unwanted and unneeded $1.5 billion LIRR Third Track Megaproject boondoggle. According to Newsday, Chairman Lhota , addressing the Long Island Regional Planning Council meeting on July 10 (Newsday 7-11-12 "MTA Chief Cites LI "NIMBY" Mentality"), acknowledged that the third track proposal was "quite controversial" and the opposition, he said, had been "textbook NIMBY," but the MTA would continue to work with local and state legislators to advance the project.
Once again we have to ask, "Say it ain't so, Joe?" MTA Chairman Lhota, who was nowhere to be seen or heard during the Third Track public hearings, has been misinformed or has chosen to ignore the hundreds of pages of well-reasoned testimony and documents that were presented by the concerned citizens of the negatively impacted communities. Shame on Mr. Lhota and his MTA bureaucrats for refusing to recognize and acknowledge that the LIRR Third Track Megaproject was given a full and fair public hearing and the local communities won the debate fair and square.
