I love this cleanser so much. It makes my face so clean everytime i uses it to remove my makeup. I will definitely buy it again. will recommend it to ppl who have combination skin.
I have to say this is a wonderful product! I absolutely love it! The price is so cheap for a semi-high end product. The foam is so effective even you only put a tiny dot on to your hands. The product goes a really long way, totally worth the money. It removes all the dirt,oil and makeup on my face! Love it, love it, love it!

I like using this as a makeup remover before my Clinique 3 step since that cleanser isnt meant to remove makeup. I really like this its creamy a little goes a long way with this and does a great job at taking off all my makeup. I would recommend this to a friend and will buy again.
Ok so I dont know why the girl prior to me writing this review said that it doesnt remove make up because it does! If you have combo/dry, this is a good cleanser for you. It removes make up and makes your skin feel so clean! If you have dry skin, it may not be the cleanser for you. It does say on the clinique site that its for combination skin. I'm surprised that I like it since it was a gift with purchase. I havent broken out from the cleanser as well.
Love this! My face feels so clean afterwards. It doesn't remove make up and I don't use it around my eye area so I use face wipes before cleansing.
This is great for removing makeup! I use it before my Clinique Acne Solutions cleanser and it really helps remove stubborn makeup.
It doesn't irritate, and as long as I use a moisturizer after washing, it doesn't dry my skin out. The bottle is pretty big, and you need a very very little amount to get a nice lather. Overall, it is a pretty good value, it lasts forever, and I will always repurchase this when I run out.

I recieved this as a gift with purchase and didn't touch it for over a year. When I ran out of my current cleanser, though (I was experimenting) I went to see to test it out.
It does remove make-up very well but leaves skin feeling dry. You definitely have to tone and moisturize immediately after using this. I only use at night and a cream cleanser in the morning.
I'm still on the fence as to if I will buy the full size or not - the dryness of it is a turn off, but it removes my heavy foundation well.
I love this cleanser and have been using it for a few years now. I occasionally experiment with other cleansers, but I always come back to this product. It removes heavy foundation and eye makeup, including mascara, with ease. It is gentle and non-drying on my dry/combination, sensitive skin. I lather a small amount each night to remove make up. The bottle lasts for at least several months. I use this in conjunction with the Clinique # 3 toner and my skin is totally clean and clear. With this combination of products, my prior problem of periodic acne breakouts has become nonexistent.
This is so far my best cleanser (2nd is St Ives) ever. I am not a heavy makeup girl (no foundation, only loose powder/blush + mascara) and it does take off all of those. A little goes a long way so the price is decent for what is in the tube. If you wear medium to full coverage foundation with lots of eye shadow, liners esp liquid gel liner I would recommend using a separate eye/face makeup remover FIRST. They are there for a reason ;) After this cleanser I use Clinique toner 2 and it removes the very last bit of dirt on my face.
This is an extraordinarily mediocre product from the Clinique stable. Doesn't take off all your makeup, though it promises to - I was always left with a thin layer of foundation on my skin that had to be removed with a cotton swab and wipe-off cleanser - and the extremely foamy texture left even my oily skin painfully dry, chalky and stretchy. I started to dread washing my face with it, and that's when I figured it was probably time to get rid of it, despite the high price. All in all, a pretty unhappy experience!
Switched to Origins' Clean Energy makeup removing oil immediately thereafter and there's been no looking back since.

Whether your guy won or lost on Tuesday (mine came in second) you have to marvel at this very exceptional nation called America. And, indeed, the whole world is doing just that. In an editorial, the Times of London described the election as a "Masterclass in Democracy": The world has been fascinated and profoundly moved by this election most of all because of what America is — a nation founded on universal aspirations, and thus a mirror to humanity. For two centuries that mirror has seemed irreparably cracked by the legacy of slavery and segregation, a pernicious and enduring racism that remains a factor in the blighted lives of so many of the poor blacks among whom Mr Obama launched his political career. He is not the last role model they will ever need, but he is the most powerful proof his country has produced that it is ready to judge them by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin. The world watched as 121 million Americans peacefully went to the polls and … [Read more...]
In the Wake of the Election
Mattingly on 'Culture wars 2008′
Terry Mattingly looks at the most recent battles, from the left and the right: If you could erase one moment from Sen. Barack Obama's White House campaign, which would you choose? That's an easy question for evangelicals, Catholics and other religious believers who back Obama. Most would happily erase all evidence of his speech last spring to a circle of insiders behind closed doors in San Francisco. For those who have ignored national news in 2008, Obama talked about meeting voters in rural Pennsylvania, where hard times have crushed hopes and fueled resentments. "So it's not surprising then that they get bitter," he said, that "they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them ... to explain their frustrations." Welcome back to the "culture wars," all you politicos who hoped and prayed that talk about "values voters" and "pew gaps" would disappear. Instead, Republicans have been chanting this mantra -- "bitter," "cling," "God" and "guns" -- … [Read more...]
Michalopulos responds to Katopodis on 'Orthodox Dominionists'
George C. Michalopulos has submitted the following in response to Harry Katopodis' article on Orthodox Dominionists. Michalopulos is co-author, with Herb Ham, of "The American Orthodox Church -- A History of its Beginnings" (Regina Orthodox Press). Michalopulos: It never ceases to amaze me how certain benighted and theologically inept individuals take upon themselves the task of speaking for Christ's Church as it traverses on its voyage through history. One such individual fears that the so-called religious right has made inroads into the Orthodox Church in North America, and that it is only because of noble souls such as himself that tolerance can only be found in one remaining bastion, i.e. the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. And of what is Katapodis afraid? In no particular order: converts, "theocons," non-GOAA bishops, and the rising tide of pro-lifers within American Orthodoxy. The ridiculousness does … [Read more...]
Katopodis Responds to 'Orthodox Dominionists'
Mr. Harry Katopodis has sent AOI an article to further elaborate on the thinking behind his article in the Hellenic Voice, "Religious Right Must Not Set Agenda for Orthodox Church." Which led to my post, "Where are the Orthodox Dominionists?" The Katopodis response is published here unedited: Dominionists or Pro-Life? By Harry Katopodis Several bloggers have criticized my article because I called called pro-life Orthodox dominionists, however the difference in reality is very small. The point is that whether I call them dominionists or religious right their stands are very similar, put Christian values and doctrine in the government of the United States. I was raised in the Orthodox Church, and I left the Greek Church and went to the OCA so I could hear English services. A few years later I returned home to the Greek Church when I felt I wasn't welcome in the OCA because I am a Democrat and a proud union member that votes for Democrats because it is in my economic interest … [Read more...]

Employee Code of Conduct
JCC Code of Conduct for Children's Saftey
1. In order to protect staff, volunteers, and program participants – at no time during a JCC program may a staff person be alone with a single child where they cannot be observed by others. As staff supervise children, they should space themselves in a way that other staff can see them.
2. Staff shall never leave a child unsupervised.
3. Restroom supervision: Staff will make sure the restroom is not occupied by suspicious or unknown individuals before allowing children to use the facilities. Staff will stand in the doorway while children are using the restroom. This policy allows privacy for the children and protection for the staff (not being alone with a child). If staff are assisting younger children, doors to the facility must remain open. No child regardless of age should ever enter a bathroom alone on a field trip. Always send children in pairs, and whenever possible, with staff.
4. Staff should conduct or supervise private activities in pairs - diapering, putting on bathing suits, taking showers, etc. When this is not feasible, staff should be positioned so that they are visible to others.
5. Staff shall not abuse children including:
- physical abuse: strike, spank, shake, slap;
- verbal abuse: humiliate, degrade, threaten;
- sexual abuse: inappropriate touch or verbal exchange;
- mental abuse: shaming, withholding love, cruelty;
- neglect: withholding food, water, basic care, etc.
Any type of abuse will not be tolerated and may be cause for
immediate dismissal.
6. Staff must use positive techniques of guidance, including redirection, positive reinforcement and encouragement rather than competition, comparison and criticism. Staff will have age appropriate expectations and set up guidelines and environments that minimize the need for discipline. Physical restraint is used only in pre-determined situations (necessary to protect the child or other children from harm), is only administered in a prescribed manner and must be documented in writing.
7. Staff will take note of any fever, bumps, bruises, burns, etc on children in their programs. Questions or comments will be addressed to the parent or child in a non-threatening way. Any questionable marks or responses will be documented.
8. Staff will respond to children with respect and consideration and treat all children equally regardless of sex, race, religion, culture, ethnic origin, disability, or any other legally-protected category.
9. Staff will respect children's rights to not be touched in ways that make them feel uncomfortable, and respect their right to say no. Other than diapering, children are not to be touched in areas of their bodies that would be covered by a bathing suit.
10. Staff will refrain from intimate displays of affection towards others in the presence of children, parents, and staff.
11. While the JCC does not discriminate against an individual's lifestyle, it does require that in the performance of their job they will abide by the standards of conduct set forth by the JCC.
12. Staff must appear clean, neat, and appropriately attired.
13. Using, possessing, or being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs during working hours is prohibited.
14. Smoking or use of tobacco in the presence of children or parents during working hours is prohibited. Additionally, smoking is not permitted anywhere on the JCC campus.
15. Profanity, inappropriate jokes, sharing intimate details of one's personal life, and any kind of harassment in the presence of children or parents is prohibited.
16. Staff must be free of physical or psychological conditions that might adversely affect children's physical or mental health. If in doubt, an expert should be consulted.
17. Staff will portray a positive role model for youth by maintaining an attitude of respect, loyalty, patience, courtesy, tact, and maturity.
18. Staff may not be alone with children they meet in JCC programs outside of the JCC. This includes babysitting, sleepovers, and inviting children to your home.
19. Staff are not to transport children in their own vehicles.
20. Staff may not date program participants under the age of 18 years of age.
21. Under no circumstance should staff release children to anyone other than the authorized parent, guardian, or other adult authorized by the parent or guardian (written parent authorization on file with the JCC).
22. Staff are required to read and sign all policies related to identifying, documenting, and reporting child abuse and attend trainings on the subject, as instructed by a supervisor.

Winter Storm Nemo is heading to our area. Livingston should start to feel the effects as early as Friday afternoon, and some weather models show snow accumulations of up to a foot. The snow will begin Friday during the day, but heavier, blizzard-like conditions are expected Friday night into Saturday.
Locals are preparing. A local resident reports that Trader Joe's in Millburn was packed on Thursday morning. Home Depot in Vauxhall was doing a brisk business in snow shovels, blowers and salt, but were well stocked with all snow-related gear and equipment as of Thursday afternoon.
New Jersey Transit announced Thursday it will offer full system wide cross-honoring for train, bus and light rail on Friday, February 8 and Saturday, February 9. NJT is also encouraging passengers to travel early on Friday.
PSE&G is warning customers that heavy snow, icing and strong winds can increase the possibility of downed wires and power outages and that response times for both electric and gas emergency services may be longer than usual. To report downed wires or power outages, call the customer service line at 1-800-436-7734 (1-800-436-PSEG).
The Livingston Lancer Jazz Band and Lab Band has postponed its third annual Valentine's Dinner Dance from Saturday to Sunday, Feb. 10.
Livingston, what are you doing -- if anything -- to prepare for Nemo? Let us know in comments.

To-Do Tonight: The Blues King, the Kings of the Ring and a Death March
While you may have the day off work today, Fresno, some people are working hard to keep you entertaining. There are big events tonight at Saroyan Theatre and Save Mart Center, as both B.B. King and World Wrestling Entertainment are in town.
King is at Saroyan Theatre, and a quick check of Ticketmaster showed there were still some pretty good tickets left. So jump on that if you're looking for tickets to one of the greatest bluesmen we've ever seen.
The WWE, meanwhile, has one of its live-for-TV shows tonight, which are always one of the biggest events of the year at Save Mart Center. Last week, The Rock returned to WWE. Don't count on him being in Fresno tonight (but ya never know). The WWE, however, has been teasing the return of another legend tonight — The Undertaker.
Tickets are still available. Because the event starts at 5:30 p.m., the Save Mart Center has been issuing traffic warnings all weekend, obviously trying to avoid a repeat of what happened last week.
Local rock band Tokyo Death March — which sounds like it could be a pro wrestling move, no? — is playing a free show tonight at Veni Vidi Vici. So if you prefer local entertainment, that's the place to be.

Torvalds on Linux Kernel 2.6.28-rc1: More Drivers Than Ever
Linus Torvalds presents the first test candidate of Linux Kernel 2.6.28 on his mailing list.
"The changes in -rc1 are (as usual) too many to really enumerate, with the bulk of them being - again as usual - drivers," writes Torvalds in the gmane.linux.kernel newsgroup. Having merged the drivers from the staging tree makes this "doubly true." Nearly half the merged drivers are in the staging tree that Greg Kroah-Hartman created back in June 2008. This tree was to hold drivers and other additions to the Linux kernel that were not quite ready to be merged. Developers can adopt the staging tree at new kernel installation, with the caveat that the drivers might be something less than stable.
Torvalds presents further statistics for those who appreciate them. The kernel involved 7,141 non-merge commits, 419 of them merges to separate developer source code archives. Each change removed on average 39 lines and added 104 lines of code. About 880 authors contributed, of which 183 had 10 or more commits and 340 had just one commit. Linux users lagging behind on updates can take an example from Kroah-Hartman, who just recently committed a fix made in April 2002. With a twinkle in his eye, Torvalds presents Kroah-Hartman with the "most screwed-up clock award": "it's a fix to a driver that was merged this July!"
Linux Kernel 2.6.28-rc1 is available for download here. Torvalds wishes everyone fun in testing, "and report any interesting anomalies you find."

BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC (WECT) – Medical examiners have identified a body found on Bald Head Island March 17 as that of Adam Muhammad, according to Southport Police Chief Jerry Dove.
Muhammad, 22, was last seen leaving work at the Yacht Basin Eatery in Southport Friday, February 14.
The body was found March 17 around 7 a.m. at the number seven beach access near the marina on Bald Head Island.
The cause of death is still undetermined, but the autopsy revealed no bullet wounds or traumatic injuries.
In order to positively ID the body, examiners compared teeth from the body with dental records from a local orthodontist who worked on Muhammad in 2005.
Adam's mother, Aleyah Muhammad is saddened by the news of Muhammad's passing, but said she is glad to have closure.
"My heart is relieved that I know what happened and I appreciate everybody who attempted in the search," said Aleyah. "But I still want to know who did this."
At last check, the case is still under investigation and detectives with the Southport Police Department will continue to interview leads.
Aleyah said she plans to have an Islamic Graveside Committal for Adam at Northwood Cemetery in Southport, though a date has not yet been set. Adam will be laid to rest next Aleyah, when she eventually passes away.
Yacht Basin Eatery has offered to host a reception after the service.

Had a quick visit to the village du tour which is staying in Nice for the Corsica stages. Thought i'd post a few photos just to add a little ambience. My phone was out of space for photos pretty quick, so i missed a bunch of stuff, but here's what i got. First of all, i rode by wednesday's depart in Cagnes sur mer the other day on my commute and took a photo of this :
lots of stands - selling stuff usually, also some charitable causes - here's some tour magazines and yellow umbrellas
and more reading material - Mickey!
on to the funny bikes - here's a combo bike/drumset
and now some that actually roll, cute kid
a side by side tandem
the love tandem
but love can be a bitch, she's already moved on and found a better ride. Meanwhile he's left alone thoroughly dejected ...
the love bike's forgotten now and well ... she seems to have found a new man, based on where he's got his hand
at least she seems happy now
cute hat girl again
and for our brit friends, there's always next year ...
and finally, to brag a little about the stuff i got. Someone at work organized a team for us to participate in the amateur TTT they're putting on - we ride the same route as the pros tomorrow. Somehow he convinced the higher-ups to actually buy us kits. Plus we got a jersey for riding the thing. Also got an ag2r bidon for riding two kms on a stationary bike to get donations to do research on some disease. So, voila, the booty for the day ...
so happy tour everyone - hopefully the rest will go better than today's finish

BELLEVILLE — It's a match-up of two teams who would like to get back on the winning track before heading into conference play.
The Mascoutah Indians (1-1) will play the Althoff Crusaders (1-1) at 7 p.m. Friday at Lindenwood Stadium.
The Indians are coming off a 28-7 loss to Mount Vernon, while the Crusaders are coming off a 52-30 loss to Belleville West.
"It's a big game for us for a lot of reasons," Mascoutah coach Scott Battas said. "We understand that it is not the end of the world Friday night, but certainly for momentum reasons a win could do a lot for our kids and our program."
Neither team wants to drop to 1-2 and have its playoff hopes backed into a corner going into league action.
"It's always a big game," Althoff coach Ken Turner said. "Even if you're 2-0, it's a big game. Your goal is to get six wins so you can qualify for the playoffs."
Friday's game: Mascoutah (1-1) at Althoff (1-1), 7 p.m.
Last meeting: Althoff beat Mascoutah 24-12 as quarterback Eric Mertens threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns in 2012.
Mascoutah coach Scott Battas: "They are certainly impressive with their aerial attack. They do a lot of things through the air and they have a lot of guys that can catch it and they have a guy who can throw in (Eric) Mertens. We have our hands full on defense. I think we are really improved on defense.
"We've have some athletes of our own, too. I think we'll be able to hang in there, but we certainly respect what they've done the first two weeks through the air."
Althoff coach Ken Turner: "We have a lot of young guys on defense. We have kind of an inexperienced defense, though we feel like they are in the right spots. They (Belleville West Maroons) actually had three good runners, they have a pretty good offense over there.
"Those three kids running the football have nice size and speed. We felt like we moved the ball against them, but we just couldn't cash in on a few drives that could have kept us on the high-scoring side of the game."
Mascoutah game plan: The Indians had only eight offensive possessions against Mount Vernon, so they'd like to sustain some drives of their own this week.
Althoff game plan: The Crusaders would like to finish drives better on offense and tackle better on defense. They'd also like to get their running game going as a complement to their potent passing attack.
Key players: Mascoutah -- QB Tim Parks (17 of 31 passing for 154 yards with two TDs and two interceptions), RB Misikei Thomsen (25 carries for 128 yards and two TDs), DB Manny Fontenot (20 tackles). Althoff -- QB Eric Mertens (54 of 92 passing for 661 yards with six TDs and three interceptions), RB Dennis Jackson (19 carries for 93 yards), WR KeenenYoung (15 catches for 232 yards and a TD), WR Luke Frazier (13 catches for 170 yards and a TD), LB Aaron Medina (18 tackles).
Notes: The Indians will be getting three starters -- RB-WR Trevahn Williams, WR-LB-P Austin Waugh and RB-LB Preston Ellington -- back who didn't play against Mount Vernon. ... The Crusaders have won the last four meetings against the Indians by a combined score of 126-38.

Book Review: Sweetest Mistake by Candis Terry
Sweetest Mistake
Series: Candis Terry
Series: Sweet, Texas, book 2
Publisher: Avon
Source: From NetGalley
Buy it here: Amazon | Book Depository
Candis Terry's website
If you were to ask me who puts out reliable contemporary romance, one of the author's I'd name would be Candis Terry. She has a knack for writing sweet, without being saccharine, romance with smart, capable characters. I reviewed and enjoyed her last book, Anything But Sweet, so that made requesting Sweetest Mistake a no brainer.
Jackson Wilder is floored when he hears that his old childhood friend/sweetheart has returned to Sweet, Texas. She left without any explanation and cut him completely out of her life. Abby fled from a disastrous marriage and came back to Sweet to put her parent's house on the market. She had no intention of reconnecting with Jackson again, but he doesn't waste anytime on asking why Abby left with nary an explanation. Yay for direct heroes!
While her ex-husband did a number on her self-worth, Abby is working on moving forward and starts spending more time in Jackson's company. Jackson is a brilliant hero. While he's still hurt and perplexed about why she left, he still treats her with kindness and respect. The only real disconnect that I have with the book is about why Abby cut Jackson completely out of her life for good. They didn't part on ugly terms exactly, but the separation speaks volumes about how unable Abby was to communicate her feelings to Jackson, and vice versa.
I also really liked the fact that Jackson's ex-wife wasn't painted as a horrible, selfish woman. They married after she got pregnant, but came to realize they'd be better off as friends. Now Abby's ex on the other hand, is the exact opposite. She married a coldly, controlling man who didn't care to show emotion and asked for a divorce the day after Abby asked for a baby. The book demonstrates quite clearly at the effect this is had on Abby. She's quite unsure of herself around Jackson, and runs hot and cold at times.
As the book moves along, you see quite clearly that Jackson still loves Abby but is afraid of his feelings for her and this leads to him bungling some of their interactions. That being said, I want more heroes like Jackson. Direct but sensitive, caring and loyal. I enjoyed Abby's character as well, but to me, she didn't stand out like he did. The middle of the book loses some ground as Jackson dithers about what to do about Abby, but for the most part, it was a lovely contemporary romance and I'm looking forward to reading more books by Ms. Terry.

The first year of a child's life is such an amazing year of growth. From a beautiful little (or sometimes big) belly, to a teenie tiny little newborn, to an active 6 month old ready to get moving and a talkative walking 1 year old, time passes so quickly with so many changes to be captured and cherished as it all seems to pass so quickly. Here at nbp | nicole barralet photography, we are passionate about capturing all of the little moments, expressions and growth of your baby so we created the affordable nbp | baby plan!
The baby plan is four sessions over 12 months of your baby's first year:
• A maternity session
• A newborn session
• A 6 month session
• A 12 month session with a cake smash
Maternity Session
A maternity session is an amazing opportunity for you to capture your beautiful growing belly and the love and connection that you and your partner share awaiting the arrival of your little bundle of joy. These photographs are all about showing off your gorgeous bump and can be taken either in our gorgeous natural light studio for more classic black and white portraiture or an outdoor lifestyle session which celebrates more of a fashion aspect and the connection between the two of you. There are so many emotions, anticipation, love with the upcoming arrival so it's pretty special to able to capture this in a maternity session. This session is generally photographed anywhere between 34-38 weeks where you belly is nice and round but your not feeling too puffy.
Newborn Session
A newborn session happens within the first 3 weeks of your baby's birth. This is when they are at their sleepiest and most content. A newborn session is the first opportunity to have your family photographs taken, capture their tiny details – their little hands, feet, ears and eyelashes and also to photograph some gorgeous newborn poses of them just being adorable and sleepy (although in saying that some little newborns are wide awake and just too interested in what is going on around them!).
6 Month Session
The first six month flies and in no time your cute little newborn has turned into a smiley, giggly, active little bubba. By this age they generally love being on their bellies, drool every where with teething and giggle their little hearts out with a game of boo. At the six month session we also like to include any favourite toys into the photograph to remember the little details of what they are into and what makes them laugh.
12 Month Session & Cake Smash
Wow! The first year has flown by and you are getting ready to celebrate your baby's first year! Around this time they are generally chattery, and either starting to walk or walking and very active and getting into everything. It is a great time to have some family photographs taken again and not to mention have a cake smash! A cake smash is basically where we give your 1 year old a birthday cake on the ground, get them down to their nappies and let them go nuts. Some bubbas just get their hands right in and attack the cakes, where as others are a little more conservative. It's always a joy to watch and so much fun.
So what does this amazing plan include and cost? Well for an affordable $350* per session, you will receive:
- Maternity, Newborn, 6 month & 12 month (cake smash) photo sessions
- One 8×12 inch print per session
- 3 x digital negatives per session
- 3 x digital negatives per session
- 30 page 10×10 inch fine art coffee table book featuring images from all four sessions showcasing the journey and growth of your child's 1st year! The book will feature a combination of photographs from all four sessions.
*The total cost of the baby plan is $1400. (Valued at $1750) $350 is payable at each session. Each print & 3 digital negatives will be handed over after each session with the final coffee table book produced at the end of the 1st year. Additional products can also be ordered at each purchasing appointment after each session.
Fine Art Coffee Table Book
So what does the coffee book look like you might ask? Well it is a gorgeous 10×10 inch coffee table book has a customizable cover which can be tailored to suit your favourite colour ie. blue, green or orange for boys and pink, purple or red for girls. The books are printed on fine art, museum quality paper with vibrant and vivid archival inks perfect for bring out those gorgeous blue eyes and beautiful fare skin.
Here are a few photos from Carter's First Year book..

The Evil Within, another survival horror game
Resident Evil (RE) fans and other video game players are waiting for the release of Shinji Mikami's new survival horror game The Evil Within (Psycho Break in Japan) this 2014. While RE players are already familiar with Mikami's game design, this new game promises a nerve-racking gameplay that will surely wanting you to fight the nemesis or choose to sneak out first.
The setting is totally different from the Resident Evil, although in the trailer I feel like there are slight similarities with Silent Hill's because of the wheel chair and sanctuary. Apart from the setting, the game has its very own Chainsaw man named The Butcher. These are just a few and obvious comparisons of the game with Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
Protagonist Detective Sebastian Castellanos will be assisted by Joseph Oda and Julie "Kid" Kidman to solve the gruesome mass murder. It is said that this game is more than just using guns because apart from killing the nemesis, the player has to use his mind to "strategically" defeat or annihilate the enemies. Trigger-happy players need to think twice before trying out this game. Sneaking and crouching are part of the game but, of course, they don't have to be done all the time.
Mikami also pays attention to achieve high quality cinematography to present well every detail of the cutscenes as well as the characters' faces and movements. The blood and "costumes" are made realistic and the setting, particularly in the asylum, brings the player to a 4D feeling. If you are claustrophobic, then you know exactly how it feels when you are inside the building or room. But then don't worry, the game will give you a room to breathe from time to time.
The Evil Within is developed by Tango Gameworks and produced by Bethesda Softworks for Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox.

Here is a BBC story on the latest study by the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynocology that shows that homebirth is just as safe at home with midwives or hospital for low-risk women at the start of their labor.
NY Magazine crowns homebirth priestess…and then royally screws her
New York magazine profiled Cara Muhlhahn, CNM, the New York City hombirth midwife followed in The Business of Being Born, whose practice dramatically increased after the documentary made her famous.
Andrew Goldman chronicles his wife's journey of choosing a care provider. Her autoimmune condition labels her high-risk, but his wife is eager to have the empowering birth she saw in the documentary. They interview Cara, but ultimately choose an obstetric hospital birth after his wife's rheumatologist threatens to terminate her.
I found the second half pretty unbalanced. Goldman seems to have personally decided that the homebirth experience is inherently risky (because his wife may not have been low-risk), which it is proven not to be, and focuses on two of Cara's complicated births out of her 700 births. The Business of Being Born showed a competent care provider, encouraging a hospital transfer, during her only birth in the documentary
I also found the lack of information about homebirth as being far more mainstream in countries like the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands where doctors and midwives all have a very open and collaborative system to be unfortunate. There is no cult of homebirth. It is a necessary new direction to curb national healthcare costs and maintain, and even improve, health standards.
It is critical to continue educating about how poorly our ghastly American maternity system stacks up to every other country in the developed world while acknowledging how different our system is. Our racial disparity of birth outcomes are indefensible. Moving to have more CNMs care for more women in hospitals or birth centers dramatically lowers c-section rates and improves birth and maternal health outcome regardless of race, education level, citizen status, and income.
I think the unfortunate thing here is that when members of the media cover birth (or marriage and death), it is difficult for them to separate from their personal experiences, and in this case, the American experience of a hospitalized birth where an OB "saved a baby in danger" from the very care model they perform. This system is perfect for perpetuating how dangerous and risky birth is and to show proven solutions to our problems in a negative light. Taken straight out of a despotic political model, it keeps the masses from waking up and overthrowing their leaders.
Post Script
I can't help but add this great comment from the New York Mag website provided by a client of Cara's:
My name is Leigh Pennebaker and I was interviewed for this story. Throughout the interview I thought it was obvious that Goldman had an agenda that sought to establish me and other people who have home births as hippie-dippy flakes. Here are two of the questions that he asked me:
Are you a vegetarian?
Do you only buy organic food?
I don't know how these questions relate to the stated topic of our conversation, home birth/Cara Muhlhahn. One of the most upsetting points in the interview was after I went to great lengths to tell Goldman about my personal experience with home birth, which gets into my family history and the fact that mother had a home birth. She had me (her first child) in a hospital with all the technological bells and whistles of the day — she was strapped down and hooked up to all the monitors, I was pulled out with forceps, she was immediately separated from me, and hours later when a nurse returned with a baby…it was not me! The experience was traumatic for both of us and it began the journey that led my mom to do her research and stay at home with a midwife by the time her third child was born. The home birth proved to be a far more positive and healthy experience.
Goldman seemed to be listening, but when I reached the end of the story, he simply asked, "would you say that your parents were hippies?"
As a reader of New York magazine for nearly two decades, I appreciate their witty and sensationalist style. They could have offered a piece with far greater press impact to their readership by framing homebirth as the safe and increasingly popular choice for New York women, "Homebirth: Coming to a Coop Near You."
So just what do docs learn in medical school?
I just returned from a wedding of a physician friend. I discussed the midwifery bill with one of his medical school friends, now a GI in Manhattan. I never talk childbirth with my physician friends to keep things peaceful, and I never really talk childbirth with doctors during appointments, so my experience with talking about childbirth with physicians is none.
I described the Massachusetts midwifery bill's goals in relation to nurse-midwives alone, as I didn't feel bringing CPMs into the conversation was prudent without knowing his experiences more. This physician continued to spew one fallacy after another about midwives, their training, maternal and neonatal mortality rates in the US, the rate of c-sections, and elective c-sections, the benefits of vaginal birth to mom and baby, the risk of c-sections and their rates of infections.
As he started boasting the ease and low risks of c-sections with "a really good doctor" I moved the conversation to his own GI field and of the disadvantage c-sectioned babies have from bypassing the vaginal canal and missing out on their first intended exposure of the mother's bacterial flora to the infant's system. Surely a GI would like to see infants start out with the best gut health at the beginning of their lives.
To my astonishment, he was even misinformed on this topic and kept trying to claim that vaginal birth provided no additional benefit to a baby's gut flora. Then he started lying. He claimed he was very familiar with a study that showed that if you placed a vaginally birthed baby in a sterile environment immediately after birth that the baby develops no bacterial flora over an extended period of time.
Since this was a social event, and I wanted to appear polite, I merely said, "I am very interested to see that study." He then claimed he had worked with this study in other presentations of his. An hour later I realized how gullible I was, wanting to assume the best in people. Let's all realize that no study exists that starves a newborn baby to prove it won't develop flora. In fact, there are studies that show that the gut of a vaginally birthed infant immediately shows similar bacterial flora in its fecal matter to the mother's.
I hear stereotypes of how uneducated physicians really are in so many areas that interest those following natural parenting, like breastfeeding, nutrition, vaccine efficacy, or the training and abilities of midwives. I had always hoped these were exaggerations. This encounter only made me sad to see how much education will be necessary to implement the scale of change we need to turn our maternity system around.
For those like myself who prefer to follow evidenced based medicine, it is a shame how fringe and uneducated we are made to feel by many allopathic doctors when we often have had the time and energy to cover topics with much more thorough research than they have. They should be asking parents for more information about the published studies that we have read rather than fabricating studies that don't exist to attempt to belittle our knowledge.
New birth stats for Massachusetts
The 2007 data on births in Massachusetts is available. It is a really interesting read to look at c-section rates for each hospital.
Here are some highlights:
• In 2007, for the first time since 1998, the cesarean delivery rate did not increase significantly from the previous year. The rate in 2007 was 33.7%, compared with the 2006 rate of 33.4%.
• The percentage of mothers who had their prenatal care paid by public programs continues to increase. Between 2006 and 2007, it increased by 4%, from 34.2% in 2006 to 35.5% in 2007. For white mothers, it increased by 7% (24.4% vs. 22.9%).
• Disparities in birth outcomes by race, ethnicity, education, and community persist.
• Homebirths increased from 337 to 373 from 2006 to 2007, which is a 10% increase, but home births totaled .5% of all 2007 births.
It's official…homebirth on "dramatic" rise
The latest article on the Big Push for Midwives campaign confirmed our anecdotal experience:
Midwife-attended home births increased by 27 percent between 1996 and 2006. Home-birth advocates believe the numbers will rise as more states amend their laws to accommodate the practice, which they contend is at least as safe as hospital births for healthy women with low-risk pregnancies.
I have women on airplanes telling me they plan to homebirth now. Once the 2007 and 2008 numbers are in, I imagine those homebirth increases will be dramatic compared to the previous years.
If we are to address the healthcare system in this country, we cannot ignore the third of all total spending that is spent on maternity care. We spend more than any other country without any health outcomes to show for it. Eventually, physicians' special interest groups lose to reforming legislation that promotes safer and more efficient models of integrated midwifery care at home and in hospitals like programs in countries like the United Kingdom and Australia.
Hopefully our own state legislature will pass the midwifery bill this session because women are going to be birthing at home regardless of what they do, so we may as well make it as safe as possible by creating a midwifery board with the expertise to support and regulate this critical profession.
Back to work on the midwifery bill, everyone!
Please read our section on the bill and take action!!!!!!
We have a February 4 deadline.
Thank you!
20/20 Shame
20/20 aired a segment on Orgasmic Birth that many of us have been waiting to see since the spring. The segment was fairly even-handed and Debra Pascali-Bonari should feel very proud to what her film has contributed to the larger conversation about birth and the mother's mental state.
After additional segments that could have been called "Wacky Things Women Do" it featured serial surrogate mothers who have birthed more than one dozen babies, women nursing their children past the age of five, women who spend thousands of dollars on newborn dolls and stroll them outside, and finally the most outlandish segment on homebirth.
While interviewing the woman who authored the book Unassisted Childbirth, they began to weave clips from the Business of Being Born with new footage of Elizabeth Vargas interviewing film creators Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein, not clearly explaining that homebirth is usually overseen by some sort of midwife.
I kept waiting for the voice over to explain the choice of homebirth with an attending midwife as a more popular choice, but midwives were never discuss in detail. The producers intentionally blurred the distinction between homebirth with certified midwives and unassisted birth. They had to to make the homebirth segment seem more fitting with with the other "Wacky Things Women Do."
It is pretty offensive for mothers who researched the safest birth options with the least intervention with midwives to be compared to the sincerely sad, childless women spending thousands of dollars on newborn dolls to get strangers to talk to them.
Orgasmic Birth on 20/20…finally!
From director Debra Pascali-Bonari:

Urgent Birth Center Legislation!
OK, all of you awesome MFOM members, I know you know how to call state legislators. It's time to call Washington now. This is important, especially given the unknown future of the North Shore Birth Center.
American Association of Birth Centers
Legislative Alert
We are writing to ask you to contact your Federal Representatives and Senators–it is now or never to mandate the Birth Center facility fee in Medicaid!
Our Goal – 50 calls this week!
As you know, we are working hard to mandate the birth center facility fee in Medicaid. The Texas case against Center for Medicaid Services (when they said they would stop paying the federal match for birth centers) is just one battle. The only permanent solution for us in the Medicaid program and with other insurers is to pass legislation making birth centers an official mandated provider.
The Texas case will not solve this problem! It is clear that even if we win, CMS will write new rules that will effectively shut down birth centers all over. Now, we need legislation to stop them. We may already have missed our chance to tag our issue on to the next major piece of legislation–the Economic Stimulus package. But we still have a chance with the Children's Health Bill (S-CHIP), but ONLY if Congress hears from you and your consumers.
Act Now!
Each and every one of you must take action to put birth centers on the Congressional radar. The birth center community must take the lead on this–Congress won't take any action for us unless it hears from its constituents. AABC's lobbyinst Karen Fennell is busy making Congressional visits, but they are saying they have not heard from you–so it must not be important . . .
Right now, Rep. Susan Davis (CA) will sponsor the bill and Rep. Lois Capps (CA) will co-sponsors, but we need many more–including Republicans so it has bi-partisan support.
Call your Federal Representatives and Senators.
Find out who they are.
If you have any trouble making contact, call Karen Fennell–she will help. Use the linked flyer ("Pregnant Women's Access to Care Threatened") as a reference for help with talking points and:
1. Tell them you are a (midwife or student midwife, staff person or client) that cares that birth centers provide access for Medicaid women. Other birth centers have already closed due to lack of facility reimbursement.
2. On the House side, ask Democrats to co-sponsor our bill which would add Birth Centers to Medicaid covered services. (Our bill does not have a number yet). Ask House Republicans to be a sponsor or lead. On the Senate side, we need leads and sponsors in both parties.
3. Please notify Karen of your calls. Provide her with the representative's name, the staff person's name, and any questions or information she should be aware of. Karen's contact info: tel: 301-830-3910 – email: email@example.com. Please also cc me on these emails:
email@example.com (tel: 423-253-4455).
This is urgent if we want to sustain birth centers in the United States. Please call today. Remember, this is your survival we are working for–we need 50 calls this week!
Please pass this on to your Friends of the Birth Center groups and ask them to call too.

Syracuse and Rutgers will square off in a rivalry which has heated up in recent years. Culminating with the double overtime heart breaking Antwan fumble that ended the game and hurt the spirit of Cuse fans and in hindsight could have lead to a 6-1 start where it could have lead them to play one damn good season. However this weekend is very different, Rutgers (5-0) is number 21 in the nation coming in with a head of steam after a good (not great) win over uconn, while Syracuse (2-3) is ranked numb er one in our hearts and comes in after a monumental defensive victory where we saw glimpses of that 2010 defense that made Scott Schafer his million(s).
So Saturday is less then 6 days away and Syracuse is once again going to be without Jeremiah Kobena and now Shamarko Thomas, meaning they will need everyone to contribute the second most they possibly can (I want the most reserved for Louisville.) and the defense will need to play exactly like they did Friday. Gary nova isn't as mobile as Tino so those holes he was getting through will not be as big a problem as the Pitt game. However I feel Juwan Jamison is a better runner then graham this year, he doesn't have the experience that graham does but he does know how to find a hole and explode through it, holding him under 100 yards is a win in my book.
Enough about the defense lets talk offensive keys, the most pivotal part of Saturday will be to SCORE, Rutgers' highest scoring game was a shootout with Arkansas who up until auburn couldn't tell a ball from a bomb. So we need to score fast and early, none of the power running out of the shotty use tank or you don't run until the pass is established. Rutgers D is good, but by no means is great, there are ways to exploide it just like any other defense and I have faith that Marrone can find it and Hackett can call plays that allow Nassib to produce. Lastly we need Ashton broyld to work his butt off in practice so he gets some game time back. That kid is too freaking talented to be sitting on the bench when the teams offense sputtering. Marrone he's a great kid with allota passion let him play.
So finally in my mind this game is winnable if Cuse plays one of their better games of the season. Rutgers has a good d and weak o, take advantage of that sell out some blitzes and some suprise double converges on the outside, some turnovers deep in rutgers territory could go a mile. And of course play for Mr. Thomas. He plays his heart out every down we need to win for him because I guarantee you if he doesn't play he would have tried every possible way to get on the field.


text: Watched Eddy Curry's triumphant return to the court the other night for the Heat and started thinking. If Eddy Curry can do it so can Greg! Blazer fans I know we've been through a lot, but you gotta remember, there is light at the end of the tunnel! Most people, including myself promised we wouldn't discuss Greg Oden again until he was physically able to play and out there on the court. Well, after watching Mr. Curry play for the first time in almost 2 years and actually make a difference for Miami I've changed my tune! People talk all the time about what this team lacks and what it's missing. The answer awaits us, and his name is Greg Oden! Maybe this prolonged absence is just what he and we needed! Think about it, this teams main weaknesses are a strong post presence, easy buckets and rebounding! Greg comes back problem solved! Yeah I know it's easy to say but aren't we as Blazer fans due! How many teams have gone through what we have? Drafting Bowie over Jordan, game 7 in LA, the "Jailblazer" era and now losing a once in a lifetime talent like Brandon Roy, in the prime of his career! All the while, the Rose Garden sells out every night, devoted fans such as myself spend 200 bucks on league pass, all to watch the team we love! Any other franchise in the NBA would have relocated several times but not us! I know it's hard based on Greg's history but now he's had the time to actually grow into his body! Just seeing him on the sidelines tonight I thought to myself this guy is massive! And in an era where quality centers don't grow on trees, why should give up on the one who fell into our laps! Blazer fans I believe and I hope you do too! This should help, listen to this song and just imagine Greg returning to the court and helping us beat the Heat in Game 7 in Portland to win the NBA Finals! It could happen, but you gotta Believe!

Bath salts claimed a life in Vermont.
Bath salts are a synthetic, pseudo-legal methamphetamine substitute.
The state's chief medical examiner found that bath salts killed Christopher Tsacoyeanes, 28, in Clarendon last month.
The designer drugs are available in convenience stores and head shops in some states. Just eight days ago, Vermont took emergency action to ban more than 80 different forms of bath salts and synthetic marijuana.
Vt. Health Commissioner Harry Chen says the meth substitute is highly addictive.
"It's a powerful stimulant. It can cause very bad side effects: hallucinations, paranoia, suicidal behaviors, seizures and death. And we believe this one represents our first bath salts death," Dr. Chen said.
"We know that the drug landscape across the country is changing and Vermont is not immune from this, we know that bath salts are here now, we know they're present in Vermont, and we've now seen the devastating effects they can have on an individual," said Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn.
Health officials say not enough is known about bath salts yet because it's not a regulated chemical. They say the product is marketed toward teenagers and Chen worries friends of users could be pressured into use without knowing the consequences.

Balance sheet skid marks
Obama has been left to clean up the mess. Washington Post:
Wall Street analysts, congressional overseers and the media have parsed every detail of the Treasury Department's financial rescue program -- $250 billion and counting. Largely outside public view, however, the Federal Reserve is lending far more than that amount -- $893 billion
As of last week, the Fed's loans included $507 billion to banks, $50 billion to investment firms, $70 billion for money market mutual funds, and $266 billion to companies that use a form of short-term debt called commercial paper. It is considering a new program that would make billions more available to prop up consumer lending: auto loans, credit cards and the like.
In lending these vast sums, the Fed is essentially substituting its own unlimited ability to supply cash for that of private markets, which are not functioning normally. The central bank is even fulfilling some of the original goals of the Treasury Department's $700 billion rescue program by allowing financial institutions to use securities that are difficult to sell as collateral for loans.
A year ago, the central bank had assets of $868 billion, of which about 90 percent was in Treasuries. Last week, it had assets of $2.2 trillion on its books, of which 22 percent was in Treasuries. Much of the remainder represents the new lending to banks and other financial institutions
The Fed can essentially expand its balance sheet at will, reflecting its power to create money. Congress gave it even more leeway to do so in the bill that contained the $700 billion rescue package, by allowing the Fed to pay interest on bank reserves.
"People want to act like the Fed's balance sheet is limited," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. "No, it's not. It's pretty much unlimited."
Infinity money times infinity equals Zimbabwe. The greenback is absurdly over-valued. The US government takes on all the bad debt - one way or the other - because it's in the strongest position to survive the capitalist/speculation/credit implosion and support the very institutions that profited from it and caused it. How far is Wall Street up The Fed's arse exactly - and the Treasury's? There seems to be so many conflicts of interest that it's wrapped around on itself. The corporations, the banks, the Fed, the Treasury - the former undersecretary of the Treasury who is the President of the New York Reserve is going to be Obama's Treasury Secretary - it's all America Inc., and it's all going down the shitter.
Case in point: The big three Detroit motor companies churn out monster SUVs for a decade, without changing, despite the surging price of oil, and then they want a bail-out because people don't want to buy their big, ugly, cars anymore. Ugly. According to the standard Ford models for 2009 only one of them is an economy two door. And they have an awful lot to say about the damn satellite radio system, but nothing on fuel consumption or the engine. GM have a bigger range that does include some smaller type cars, but they are as hideous as their bigger counterparts, and Chrysler don't seem to have bothered to make any.

Brandon Carr "Coveted" by Cowboys
According to Pro Football Weekly, the Cowboys "covet" free agent CB Brandon Carr and are expected to "go all in for him" when the market opens. Carr is a big, physical corner with experience in both man and zone schemes, and he'd be a sizable upgrade on Terence Newman at left cornerback. The Cowboys can release Newman after March 13 and "designate" him a post-June 1 cut, saving over $6 million in cap space. Carr will command a pretty penny, but the secondary was Dallas' most glaring weakness for much of last season.

Monday, she's a priceless Spode bone-china cup vibrating slightly in its saucer. Unreasonably beautiful and chaste, some may say.
Tuesday, she's in the pounding surf with a longboard, kissing her husband passionately. Ostentatiously graceful and bold, others may say.
Could this be Anna Neagle?
Even more importantly, what is she wearing on Wednesday?
I think it's this pleated front tunic, capable of going any direction (or personality) that she, I mean you, may desire.
The more callow members of your audience will be impressed by its ladylikeness. Others, who enjoy our spontaneous human condition, will appreciate its subtle irrationality.
English Tunic Blouse (No. 3774). Pure, high quality linen. French seams. Mandarin collar. Vertical stitch pleating on each side of placket. Pleats from base of center front bib. Full sleeve. Side slits. Side seam. Chalk button.

text: The Bobby Gonzalez era is gone. The era that was filled with hype followed by disappointment is finally gone. The era of great talent that runs and guns with no half court offense and plays a bad press defense is gone. The era of yelling at the refs, the head of the school, the big east and anyone else you could think of is gone. And in come the new era. The Kevin Willard Era. The era of hard nosed defense. The era of half court, efficient offense. The era of the most talented Seton Hall team in years. With Hazell, Pope, Robinson, Theodore, and more this team has the potential to go Dancing. It has the potential to go more than just dancing. It has Elite Eight potential. It has Final Four potential. It has Championship Potential. Yes I went there. Hazell could compete for National Player of the Year. Pope could lead the nation in rebounds. Robinson should average a double double. The team has so much length that its defense should be downright deadly. However, what is realistic. I definitely think Dancing is probable. The Sweet 16 is a reach. The Final Four would be a dream. Here are my expectations: 23 or 24 wins finishing in the top 5 in the Big East. A Big East Tournament semifinal. I expect a 3 to 6 seed in the Big Dance. I expect at least one win in the Big Dance. Two would be great. Three would be unreal. I do think this team has the potential to make it all the way to the Final Four. It is not often you have a team return its 3 best players from a team that had 19 wins the year before. This team could have the #1 defense in the Big East. With Hazell, JRob, Pope, Theodore, Polynice, Lawrence, Hall, Edwin, and one or two more that are not yet known (possibly Jackson, Auda, or Geramipoor) this team has depth, length, skill, and passion. We can do great things this year. We have a great coach. We have great players. WE have great fans. Now we need to finally play to the talents of the team and not play down because of a lack of defense. This year we have a coach that will take advantage of everybody's skill's instead of just running and gunning.

In his first start since June 15th, Alex Cobb led the Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Cobb's final line was five innings pitched, striking out six batters while walking two and allowing only three hits and one earned run, a solo homerun to Raul Ibanez in the second inning. Cobb threw 88 pitches, 53 of which were strikes. The SunSports Rays broadcast had mentioned on Wednesday night that they expected Cobb to be on a pitch count limit of 90, so this, paired with a rough fifth inning, could have definitely been the means for Cobb not starting off the sixth inning for the Rays.
Matt Joyce warned the Mariners to proceed with caution when it came to Wil Myers' bat yesterday.

Turns out they didn't heed the warning as Myers went 3-4 with two doubles and four RBI's on the night. Safe to say his little 0-15 slump was a distant memory after last night.
Before last night's game, the Rays had a visit from Asia, a 20-foot python. Yuck! Here's some pictures from the visit courtesy of Jonathan Gantt, the Rays, and thoughts from some of the players.

CATEGORIES New Releases, Warner Brothers, Fandom, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalAfter years of idle speculation and stupid rumors (Eddie Murphy as The Riddler? Really?), Christopher Nolan is finally talking about a follow-up to his mega-hit The Dark Knight. With a July 2012 release date already penciled in for the third film in the director's Batman reboot, Nolan and his brother are already hard at work on a new story for Gotham's caped crusader.
The filmmaker tells Empire (via Coming Soon) "My brother is working on the screenplay. We came up with a story that we are very excited about. We particularly like where we are taking the characters and what the ending is ..." He goes on to add the new film will be "the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story."
Nolan stresses that he hasn't signed on to direct the new film yet, telling the magazine, "No I haven't," when asked. He adds, "there is a point where you're just being precious about it and people get annoyed, but the God's honest truth is I work on one movie at a time. I'm only capable of doing that, so my head will continue to be firmly in [Inception] for another few months."
However, he does answer one question: Will The Joker return for the third film? Head after the jump to find out ...
Speaking about The Joker and whether he'd recast the role, Nolan quickly shot back "No!", adding "I just don't feel comfortable about it." Another thing he doesn't feel comfortable about is merging characters like Batman and Superman into one film, noting, "Marvel are doing what they do and people will respond to that really well, or they won't," said Nolan. "It's not something I ever really applied a blanket rule to, but Marvel characters are very different to DC characters, and the key DC characters are very different to the minor DC characters. You've got to go back to that element of, 'What do I see when I close my eyes and think of Batman? What do I see when I close my eyes and think of Superman?' And for me a big part of that is their individuality. The yare extraordinary beings in an ordinary world. And the reason I think the two are fascinating is because Superman is very specifically superpowered and obviously otherworldly; Batman is very human and flawed. Theyr'e two very different characters, but there's an elemental feeling of power in the iconography of those characters. To me that's originally because they stood alone. I need to hang on to that in my imagining of them."
Aside from having Batman and Inception on his plate, the director has also taken on the role of mentor for the next Superman flick -- although he's not comfortable with the title, insisting his real job on that project is much more specific. Nolan explains that while he and co-writer David Goyer were discussing Batman ideas in the wake of the The Dark Knight, Goyer casually mentioned that he knew how to take on Superman. Nolan loved the idea and took it to Warner Bros., who were excited by it. Nolan won't helm that film, saying, "But it's not something for me to direct. It's something we were just trying to put together a vision for, and then find the right person to take it forward." Given the way he's successfully recreated Batman, this might be the perfect thing to get the Man of Steel's movie career back on track.
All in all, it's a comic nerd news extravaganza. Hit the comments and geek out.
