Yields about fourteen 8-inch crêpes
These crêpes are buttery but mild, an ideal blank canvas, ready to be topped or filled with savory or sweet ingredients. The addition of brown butter gives them a flavor richer than that of the average crêpe.

These crêpes are buttery but mild, an ideal blank canvas, ready to be topped or filled with savory or sweet ingredients. The addition of brown butter gives them a flavor richer than that of the average crêpe.
Julissa Roberts demonstrates Martha Holmberg's method for making supple, buttery crêpes.
In a 1- to 2-quart saucepan, cook the butter over medium heat, swirling it every few seconds, until melted and the milk solids at the bottom of the pan turn golden-brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Immediately pour the brown butter into a small bowl and let cool almost to room temperature.
Combine the milk, eggs, and salt in a blender. Blend for a few seconds to combine. Add the flour and blend until very smooth, about 20 seconds. Add the brown butter and blend for another 10 seconds.
Pour the batter into a large bowl and let rest for at least 5 minutes and up to 24 hours. (If resting for more than 30 minutes, cover and refrigerate.)
When ready to cook the crêpes, check the batter; it should be as thick as heavy cream, not as thick as pancake batter. If it feels too thick, whisk in up to 1/2 cup more milk.
Heat a crêpe pan with an 8-inch base or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with an 8-inch base over medium-high heat until it's hot enough for a drop of water to sizzle. Using a folded paper towel, grease the pan with about 1/4 tsp. butter. The butter should sizzle upon contact but not instantly turn brown. If it does, reduce the heat as necessary.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan while simultaneously lifting the pan from the heat and tilting and turning it in all directions so the batter spreads evenly across the bottom in a thin circle. If the crêpe has any holes in it, quickly add a few drops of batter to fill them in.
Cook until the edges begin to dry and lift from the sides of the pan and the bottom is nicely browned (lift up an edge with a small silicone spatula or your fingers to check), about 1 minute. Use the spatula or your fingers to flip the crêpe over. Cook until the second side is browned, about 20 seconds more.
Slide the crêpe from the pan onto a large plate or cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat and spreading more butter in the pan every two or three crêpes, or whenever the pan begins to look a bit dry. You can stack the crêpes on the plate as they're done; they won't stick. The crêpes will soften as they cool.
You can keep crêpes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days by wrapping the stack in plastic, then putting it in a zip-top freezer bag. Bring to room temperature (or reheat) before using.
To freeze crêpes for up to 3 months, lay pieces of waxed paper or parchment between every few so that it's easy to pry off as many as you need. Wrap the stack in plastic, then slide it into a large zip-top freezer bag. Thaw wrapped frozen crêpes at room temperature until pliable, about an hour.
Sugar & Lemon Crêpe: Warm a crêpe in a little butter in a skillet, sprinkle with sugar, and squeeze lemon juice over the top. Roll into a cylinder or fold into a triangle.
Sautéed Apple Crêpe: Cook a peeled, diced apple in a little butter with a sprinkle of sugar until tender and golden. Roll into a warm crêpe and serve.
Ham, Cheese & Pear Crêpe: Gently warm a crêpe in a dry skillet, sprinkle with grated Gruyère, and top with good-quality ham and very thin slices of ripe pear. Fold in the sides of the crêpe to make a flat packet and drizzle with a little melted butter.
Huevos Rancheros: Scramble an egg and arrange it along the lower half of a warm crêpe. Top with grated Monterey Jack or Cheddar, salsa verde, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro. Roll up and serve with more salsa and sour cream on the side.
Maple & Crème Fraîche Crêpe: Gently warm a crêpe in a dry skillet, spread with crème fraîche, and drizzle with maple syrup. Fold and eat right away.
Crêpe Sundae: Roll up a room-temperature crêpe, cut it crosswise into 1/2-inch ribbons, and put them in a bowl. Top with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce or both.
Mediterranean Wrap: Spread hummus on a room-temperature crêpe, top with crumbled feta and a few slices of roasted red pepper, and roll up.
Reheating Crêpes: If you have only a few crêpes to reheat, warm each one in a dry, hot skillet for 5 to 10 seconds per side. For a bigger batch, put them on a large ovenproof plate, cover with foil, and heat in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes. Or, if you prefer, heat them in the microwave on a plate, covered with a paper towel, for about 30 seconds on medium power.

Video: Ceremony Held To Honor Fallen Military Women In Va.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- More than 1,000 retired and current service women marched Saturday night to pay tribute to all women who have worn an American military uniform. The ceremony commemorated the 15th Anniversary of the Women's Memorial at the gates of Arlington Cemetery.
The service women ranged widely in generation. Veterans from WWII up to those who severed during the most recent wars in Iraq, and Afghanistan all walked from the Lincoln Memorial to the Women's Memorial at the gates of Arlington Cemetery.
The event organizers hope to encourage more women to join the military, and remind those who have served that their service is and will always be honored.
9News reporter Ken Molestina has the story.

An international sensation, The Hypnotist is set to appear in 37 countries, and it has landed at the top of best-seller lists wherever it's been published—in France, Holland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Denmark. Now it's America's turn. Combining the addictive power of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy with the storytelling drive of The Silence of the Lambs, this adrenaline-drenched thriller is spellbinding from its very first minute.
Tumba, Sweden. A triple homicide—all the victims from the same family—captivates Detective Inspector Joona Linna, who demands to investigate the grisly murders, against the wishes of the national police. The killer is at large, and it appears that the elder sister of the family escaped the carnage; it seems only a matter of time until she, too, is murdered.
But where can Linna begin? The only surviving witness is the boy whose mother, father, and little sister were killed before his eyes. Whoever committed the crimes intended for this boy to die: he has suffered more than 100 knife wounds and lapsed into a state of shock. He's in no condition to be questioned.
Desperate for information, Linna sees one mode of recourse: hypnotism. He enlists Dr. Erik Maria Bark to mesmerize the boy, hoping to discover the killer through his eyes. It's the sort of work that Bark had sworn he would never do again—ethically dubious and psychically scarring. When he breaks his promise and hypnotizes the victim, a long and terrifying chain of events begins to unfurl.
A number-one best-selling international sensation sure to please fans of Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell, The Hypnotist is the first novel in a series. With its pulse-pounding hooks and twists, it announces a stirring new contribution to the annals of crime fiction.
©2009 Lars Kepler (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Soon there will be Stieg Larsson crime fiction people and Lars Kepler crime fiction people: I'm hereby in the latter camp." (Kurt Andersen, New York Times best-selling author)
"Suspense for suspense's sake"
This was not a bad book by any means, but I wouldn't say it was outstanding, either. Suspenseful crime novels tend to follow a pattern because that pattern is appealing to the reader. In this novel, what was first presented as the primary story line was abruptly resolved three quarters of the way through the book without so much as one unexpected fact, and was never referred to again. The secondary story line, at first believed to be part of the first, did not take a surprising turn but a tedious one. It did not veer shockingly, but meandered slowly through short chapters that disclosed too much too soon.
As I listened to the novel I felt anticipation, because I was waiting for an unexpected twist. Yet none of the resolutions were a surprise, and I grew impatient with the story as it threw one dramatic episode after another in front of me, seemingly to delay the conclusion of what I already knew.
As for the narrator, given the difficulty of reading a novel aloud I would give him high marks, although I did not care for the weak, whiny tone of most female and young voices.
"Hard to live up to the hype but great read"
After reading the hype, I was not sure that this could live up to the international bestseller label, but I found myself listening compulsively. The strength was really in the body of the story and the main characters. The mystery itself and the resolution were not quite as satisfying, as peripheral characters are picked up and dropped. I heartily recommend this and will look forward to more.
"A Must Hear!"
The Hypnotist has become my favorite book of 2011 and one of my all-time favorites. Well written, well narrated, and an absolute edge-of-your-seat thrill! If you want a book that will keep you guessing, make you think, and even have you making sure your doors are locked, then this one is for you.
From 4/12/15 on, I will only rate a book 5 stars if it so good I will listen to it again. To date, the Bino series tops that list.
"Definitely glad I purchased this book."
The story is entirely unique and therefore the mystery is fun to see it unfurl. I found the reader irritating, but the strength of the plot made up that as well as various lack of character development. I reccomend this book, especially due to it's principal subject matter.
"The Hypnotist"
From the book description:Tumba, Sweden. A triple homicide—all the victims from the same family—captivates Detective Inspector Joona Linna, who demands to investigate the grisly murders, against the wishes of the national police. The killer is at large, and it appears that the elder sister of the family escaped the carnage; it seems only a matter of time until she, too, is murdered.
I was reluctant to purchase this after reading several Kindle reviews that described the book as confusing. I have to say that I really enjoyed the Audible version of this book. It had lots of twists and turns and kept me engrossed. The narrator did a superb job of giving a distinct voice to all of the characters. It was a thriller in the true sense of the word.
Reader And Listener
"Giant Plot Holes"
The writing style ad reader were pretty good, definitely enough to keep me listening to the end (and that's not a given!) I might try another title by this author. But there were huge gaps in timeline and logic, and poorly researched medical details, that frequently took me out of the story. I can't give details without major spoilers, butI think with experience and more available time for research, the author might be okay. I liked the characters for the most part - though the main guy's voice sounded oddly feminine despite the narrator being male. They were well developed and interesting. The plot could have been wrapped up much more tightly at the end but it wound up giving a sense of real life by not wrapping everything up perfectly.
Bottom line (and I don't know if this is the case) it reads like a second o third novel where the author is under deadline pressure, still working a day job and trying to promote his prior book while also spending time with his family.
"Disjointed, fragmented, frustrating but alluring.."
This is a very hard book to review, because after coming to the end I am trying to decide whether it was difficult because of the style of writing or characters, and whether I hated it or not, or whether my expectations influenced my final opinion of the book. I will try and do my best to give a comprehensive review and my experience reading the book without giving too much away;
First I think that the title "The Hypnotist" can be slightly misleading, because really the story is no more about the hypnotist than it is about the lead detective/the hypnotist's wife/the hypnotist's son/the suspect.... The fact that the narrative does not seem to focus on one character more than another is partially why the book has a disjointed feel. We start with the perspective of the lead detective and stay with him for long enough to get comfortable, to see the world through his eyes and his thoughts, and then we get jerked away quite suddenly to another character, which would be fine if the first person perspective went back and forth between a few characters following a linear story line, and experiencing it from their eyes, but from there it gets more confusing...
If you have seen the movie Go, or Pulp Fiction that will help to understand how the first 1/4-1/3 of this book is told, and it is confusing because you do not realize right away that you keep jumping back in time because new characters are being introduced in both the past and present. I am not sure if this is more difficult in a written format than a cinematic, because you do not have visuals to go on, and the Swedish names are already hard to follow. To make things even more confusing this format of story telling is abandoned and goes back to a linear format.
I hardily agree with other reviews that this book is in need of some MAJOR editing, because the characters that we think we should care about are in some ways abandoned and we go down literary rabbit holes as it were with story arcs about the hypnotist's wife's affair, their son spending time with a girl friend in a mall, all seem perfunctory and do not have much (if anything) to do with the central point of the story, which itself get's lost *(more about that in a minute).
This book I think is all the more frustrating because it is not so out rightly bad that you would just stop reading, instead you keep thinking there must be some big reveal, that things are all going to come together in the end (they don't). But with the afore mentioned film "Go" the storytelling tightens everything up, brings the story together, and the different plot lines come together for a satisfying whole, this book does the opposite, the storytelling makes the plot spread out like an ink stain, and rather than everything coming together, everything seems to spread apart into fragmented pieces.
*Now to address my earlier comment about what we think is the central point of the story; our grisly murders are basically solved (in a sense) quite early in the book, and the main suspect is known, something then happens that keeps this plot flowing, BUT suddenly we are diverted to a side story about a former patient of the hypnotist that has nothing to do with the murders at all, and this side story has another side story that has nothing to do with either of the other side stories and is about kids playing Pokemon. Confused yet?
I will quickly note that the reader does a good job of the narration.
Ultimately this book is confusing, frustrating and unsatisfying, all the more so because you sort of feel inclined to stick with it because you think everything must wrap up neatly in the end, it doesn't. Rather it feels like a small group of rather talented writes sat in a circle, started a story, and then said "tag you're it", and passed it on to the next writer to do whatever with it, and so on.
"Can't wait for it to be over"
This audio book drags on and on. As another reader reported, the plot changes several times. With so much detail about the gore of a murder at the beginning of the book you might be led to believe that solving this murder is the main point of the plot - not even close. There is way too much trivia about people and places that will never be mentioned again. It is driving me crazy, yet I am determined to finish it. This author is not a rival for Steig Larson. If I could get my money back, I would. Don't bother to buy this one of you love good books.
"Compared to Steig Larsson?"
I can find few similarities to the Millennium Trilogy....this book is depressing, dreary, and goes from one dismal scene to another. Can't finish, wish I hadn't purchased it
"Is there an abridged version?"
This book was much longer than it should be, many scenes were tediously retold while adding very little to the plot development. Was hoping to fill my Stieg Larsson fix, but this book had too much blood and not enough coffee.

National Fuel CEO David F. Smith made $7.1 million last year, or roughly $3,550 per hour. Meanwhile, low-income Western New Yorkers must choose between heating their homes and putting food on the table. This needs to change.
The National Fuel Accountability Coalition has come together to build a community partnership with National Fuel. The coalition aims to fight for justice for low income and working people who are forced to make tough choices because of unaffordable gas bills that result from houses without basic insulation. National Fuel benefits off this crisis and we strive to make them a part of the solution through a community partnership.
We are calling on National Fuel to invest in weatherization for the people in our region who need it most, for state representatives to mandate community reinvestment by the utility company, for community oversight of the Public Service Commission, and for a long term plan for a community controlled green alternative to National Fuel.

Bert Reker is a biker residing in Liberty City in 2008 and is wanted by the Liberty City Police Department for drug trafficking. He hides out in a junkyard in BOABO in Broker. Reker can be killed by Niko Bellic, depending on the player's choice.
Bert has two potential appearances and may appear as either; a member of the Angels of Death with the logo of the Angels or Death on the front of his tee-shirt, alternatively he may also appear as a member of the Gunthugs MC with the Gunthugs logo on the front of a brown tee-shirt. If he appears as member of the Gunthugs he will be aided by the The Lost MC and the Gunthugs MC, strangely he will also be aided by them if he is appears as a member of the Angels of Death, who are bitter rivals of The Lost MC and by extension the Gunthugs.
- It is possible that, in his Angels of Death alternate appearance, he is preparing to defect to The Lost MC. This would explain why he is aided by them even though he appears as a member of their rivals in this persona.

I agree with you about style...and I bet these ladies have had it all their lives! Me not so much...I've never ever had a put together look! you think some of your ladies would like to share a little advice to the "sisters" about how to put a look together! My "geriatric attitude" is fine...however it's not style! I've been watching where ever I've gone recently (camera with me of course) and I see the "advanced style" ladies out there...perhaps my Mom was right, "you (really) can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear! Me being the sow!

I couldn't agree more. I almost exclusively shop at thrift stores, and while I appreciate a lot of designer clothing, I'm always appalled at people who think high-end labels make you stylish by default.

This is just fabulous! What an amazing idea to share these wonderful stories about our elders! Love love love!

I discovered your blog through swedish TV. Showcasing mature, stylish women is a fab idea! Style has nothing to do with budget, body type or age. Style is YOU! Oh, how I look forward to having an advanced style!
My grandfather passed away christmas eve. He was 90 years old. We had a big birthday party together him and me just a month before he passed away. He loved beautiful clothes. I don't think I ever saw him in a plain t-shirt.... He was always in shirts and nice looking pants. Never shorts and very seldom sandals. He was always in a flat cap. Tweed for winter and linen for summer. He loved pink and pastels. And looked smashing in them. He was stylish and alive to the very end. And I can't help but think that those two things are connected. If you are curious and interested in life, culture, art, travel, other people, how could you not be interested in how you project yourself to the world?

I agree, that it's not how much you spend. Presentation is everything. No matter what it is. She look beautiful!
- February 27, 2012 at 11:28 AM
Can't believe she is 100! One advantage to getting older is over the years you have the opportunity to collect a beautiful array of clothing that will always look good anytime, anyplace. She looks so happy and full of confidence!

- "...I forced him to let go with a Revulsion Jinx..."
- —Hermione explaining her use of the spell on Yaxley.[src]
The Revulsion Jinx (Relashio) is a spell that forces an object or person to release its hold on something, or repels objects with the force of another object.
Known uses
|Known Caster
|How Used
|Bob Ogden
|Used it to knock Marvolo Gaunt backward — away from his daughter, who he was attempting to strangle, because of her love for a Muggle, Tom Riddle Sr..[2]
|Hermione Granger
|Used the jinx to similar effect in 1997 to force Death Eater Yaxley to release her arm, which he grabbed in order to Disapparate with her, Harry, and Ron.[1]
|Used it to force chains to withdraw into the arms of a chair in order to free Mary Cattermole from the Muggle-Born Registration Commission when she, Ron, and Harry infiltrated the Ministry of Magic in 1997.[1]
|Ron Weasley
|Used on Peter Pettigrew's silver hand to prevent it from slowly choking himself, although it had no effect whatsoever.[1]
|Harry Potter
|Used on the chains of a dragon during the trio's break-in of Gringotts, in order to facilitate their escape.[1]
|Used in 1995 during the second task of the Triwizard Tournament in order to free his ankle from the Grindylow's grip.
Possible Use
- Mundungus Fletcher may have used this spell in 1996 outside the Three Broomsticks, when Harry, angered by Mundungus's plundering of Sirius Black's possessions, grabbed the former by the throat.[2]
- Remus Lupin may have used this spell against Harry Potter in 1997 after Harry accused him of cowardice for deciding to abandon his family.[1]
Behind the scenes
- In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter used it underwater against the Grindylows during the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament. The spell produced a flash along with a jet of boiling water in this setting.[3]
- In the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dolores Umbridge is seen using a spell to force a kissing couple away from each other. The spell used may have been a non-verbal form of the Revulsion Jinx.
- In the film version Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, it was Hermione Granger who used this jinx to free the dragon guarding the high-security vaults in Gringotts Banks during the 1998 Break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
Probably from the French verb relâcher meaning "to release, to set free", or Italian rilascio (pronounced the same way as the spell) meaning "I release".

Gene Whitehurst and his partner, Karol Ponicsan started a partnership 50 years ago and they haven't stopped building yet. As teenagers, Whitehurst and Ponicsan met through girlfriends. They double-dated and when Whitehurst got married, Ponicsan served as best man. After that, there was no stopping the friendship that expanded into a business partnership in 1954 and led to the formation of P & W Builders. Business prospered, if you don't count the 1980's when, as Whitehurst likes to put it, "Times were so bad it was like the Depression for anyone in the construction business." But they survived and went on to build 15 subdivisions and more than 3,500 houses throughout the Tri-County Area.
"You can't go anywhere in a 50-mile radius and not see a house built by P & W Builders," insists Whitehurst.
"We looked at the Autumn Ridge Models and started making changes to our liking. We made subtle changes the floor plan and created more open space. Each board was individually cut and nailed creating a solid built custom design home. Our experience with P&W has been wonderful and we received quality for what we paid." Read More!

Note: This is the page for the current Batwoman, to see the original silver age Batwoman, refer to Kathy Kane.
Both she and her father were members of the U.S. Army. At an early age while she believed her father to be on deployment, she was abducted by a group of men. Her father returns and rescues her, but not without the apparent death of her sister and the death of her mother. She later joins the military herself, but is forced to release after it is discovered that she is in a relationship with another woman. When she returns home she discovers that her father has proposed to a woman, one with a great wealth. She informs her father of what happened to her, and he praises her for her actions. Soon after she is pulled over for speeding by a young Renee Montoya, which leads to the two of them starting a relationship. This relationship doesn't last long however as Kate chastises Renee for not being open about her sexuality. Soon thereafter Kate also encounters Batman for the first time as he comes to her rescue. Later Kate decides on a vigilante role for herself but is soon after confronted by her father, who although unable to convince her to choose a different path, is successful in convincing her of the need for more training.
According to Alex Ross in the Rough Justice, Paul Dini asked him to design a darker version of Barbara Gordon for the animation. He wanted Alex to design an evil Barbara who cured her paralysis from Ra's Al Ghul's resurrection pool but turned twisted. However, that plot was never used in any animation series but instead become the design of the modern version of Batwoman. She was launched into the DC universe with a certain amount of fanfare as the company's first openly homosexual major character. She played an ongoing, and though at times secondary, still important role in the miniseries 52 with her first appearance being in issue #7.
As a relative newcomer to the DC continuity, Kate has nonetheless made her mark. Her early appearances in 52 were noted for a certain amount of inexperience, but as the series progressed she also displayed some more admirable features, such as sacrificing herself for others. As she became integrated into the mainstream DC continuity she has become even more established and is now a respected hero, including being a member of the Justice League of America.
Katherine "Kate" Kane is a Gotham City socialite and the heiress of a very wealthy family. Since they are both in the same social scenes, she is acquainted with Bruce Wayne. It has been revealed that Kate Kane was once in a romantic relationship with Renee Montoya, the former officer of Gotham City's Police Department and current crime fighter known as the Question. Kate has assisted Montoya and the original Question on a mission to dismantle the criminal gang known as Intergang and saves them from some of Whisper A'Daire's shapechanging creatures, after discovering their plot to kill "twice-named daughter of Kane" . She also met Nightwing, and he grew infatuated with her, helping her learn how to use a batarang. He gave Kate her very first batarang on Christmas Eve.
Kate Kane is Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah with Renee, and the two kissed shortly before Christmas. Intergang realized that the image in the Crime Bible of Batwoman and the image of the "twice-named daughter of Cain" were one and the same. They kidnapped Kate and intended to sacrifice her. However, Renee was able to find her, but not before she was stabbed. Despite this, Kate was able to pull the knife out of her chest and used it to stab Bruno Mannheim. She fell into Renee's arms, who was able to stop the bleeding and save Kate's life. As Kate healed in her penthouse, Renee appeared outside her window, shining a bat-signal, asking "Are you ready?"
One year later, the Penguin asked Batman to bring a date to the opening of his club. He ask "Why don't you bring that new Batwoman? I hear she's kind of hot." Batwoman returns in Countdown #39. She appears after the Question, Renee Montoya, confronts Trickster and Pied Piper, who they trailed from the Penguin's Iceburg Lounge nightclub. However, the Question lets them go, not believing them to be killers.
Renée again left town, irritating Kate, though she agreed to help Renée in tracking down a copy of the Crime Bible, being sold via the Penguin. The book was actually part of the Lessons that the Order of Stone was attempting to teach Renée, and she and Kate fight over the book. In the end, as Renée claims she only wants it to protect Kate. Kate tells her that Renée never asked what Kate wanted, but lets her take the book.
During the events of the Final Crisis, Batwoman fell prey to the global brainwashing of Darkseid and his gods. Batwoman became one of Darkseid's newest members of the Female Furies, alongside Catwoman, Wonder Woman, and Giganta. Batwoman's appearance resembled that of the original Female Fury known as Mad Harriet. When Darkseid was eventually defeated, Batwoman reverted to her normal self.
After Battle for the Cowl, Batwoman is fighting in Gotham, helping Batman and hunting the Religion of Crime who have a new leader who goes by the name Alice. We see both Batwoman and Kate Kane struggle with the aftermath of her last excursion with the Religion of Crime, who stabbed her through the heart and still survived. Batman lets her take the case letting her know that he'll be watching if she needs him.
Kate finds the High Queen Alice and begins to question her before she has to flee because Alice poisoned her. As her investigation goes deeper there is a moment when it looks like it's the end of the road for Kate and her father and they are surrounded by Alice and the Religion of Crime, however they get saved by a group of people who were once part of the Religion of Crime, but now choose to distance themselves, saying they are the True Believers. The leader, Abbot, tells Kate that they still follow the dark faith, they just disagree with Alice's interpretation. She learns that Alice plans to destroy Gotham.
As Alice begins her plans, Kate attempts to thwart them with the help of the True Believers. She gets on the plane that Alice is trying to use to drop on Gotham and releases her father before going after Alice. In the dramatic conclusion Alice and Kate fight on the wings of the Aircraft and as Alice holds onto the wing of the plane she looks at Kate to tell her "You have our fathers eyes" before stabbing Kate in the arm, making her fall to her apparent death. Was Alice her sister?
In the events that follow we learn that Alice's body has yet to be found and as Kate ignores her fathers pleas to open the door to the bunker, she performs a blood test on Alice and herself. She learns that the blood is the match of twins. She confronts her Father who tells her how was he supposed to tell her that the girl they found when she was rescued wasn't her sister.
When the Justice League of America splits up following Bruce Wayne's death and a disastrous confrontation with the Shadow Cabinet, Green Lantern Hal Jordan leads a group of superheroes to Gotham in order to track down the supervillain known as Prometheus. Kate is shown stalking the heroes from the rooftops after they encounter Clayface.
Batwoman later contacts both Leagues at the JLA Watchtower, informing them she encountered and engaged supervillain Delores Winters, who mysteriously collapsed and died right as she was about to be taken into custody. The heroes request that Kate bring the body up to them, but she declines, telling them that she is much too busy due to a rash of criminal uprisings going on in Gotham. Firestorm is then sent to retrieve the corpse from Kate and bring it to the team, who discover that Dolores was forced into fighting by means of a mind control device.
Later, Batwoman is kidnapped by cultists and taken to London in order for her to once again be sacrificed. She is sealed within a coffin and taken underground to the last remaining Lazarus Pit in order for the ritual to begin. She is saved by the timely intervention of Dick Grayson and British superheroes Knight and Squire. After learning that Grayson plans on placing Bruce Wayne's corpse into the pit in order to revive him, Kate strongly protests, but he simply ignores her.
In the first arc of her own series post-Flashpoint, Kate investigates a series of kidnappings of Hispanic children by a mysterious, seemingly metahuman adversary known only as the Weeping Woman. She has cut her father off from her life after the Religion of Crime fiasco as a response to what she perceives to be a betrayal of trust and family, and struggles with balancing her life as one of Gotham's vigilante protectors with her public image and her relationship with GCPD detective Maggie Sawyer. She also is driven apart from Batman, due to the DEO blackmailing her with her father's extra-military activities to join them, being personally overseen by Agent Cameron Chase.
The Weeping Woman turns out to be part of a larger group centered around Greek mythology, culminating in Medusa summoning Ceto, the Mother of all Monsters; to defeat these supernatural foes Batwoman enlists the aid of Wonder Woman in the World's Finest arc. Overcome with relief at rescuing the missing children, Kate reveals her identity to Maggie, by proposing marriage. The opening issue of the net arc reveals that Maggie accepts, and Kate is training her cousin and sidekick, Bette Kane.
Kate Kane has no metahuman abilities. However she is extremely proficient in both armed and unarmed combat as a result of her West Point education and BEAST basic training coupled with two years of undocumented special operative training with members of the British Special Air Service, U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.S. and other military contacts. She is extremely physically fit and was senior elite in gymnastics at West Point. Her military training and lifestyle has instilled a deep sense of discipline and leadership that is reflective in her actions as Batwoman.
As a result of her militaristic lifestyle and upbringing, Kate has an extremely high tolerance for pain. She has been repeatedly stabbed and continued to fight off attackers. When she was abducted by followers of the Crime Bible and stabbed in the heart, she went so far as to pull out the blade and incapacitate her attackers.
Kate has also developed an uncanny ability for aerial combat. She frequently jumps between and fights on top of moving vehicles and is accustomed to battle while in free fall. While she is not as adept as Dick Grayson at acrobatic combat she is certainly experienced in this area.
Batwoman has shown detailed knowledge of human anatomy in her dealings with criminals. She is familiar with the human bodies pressure points and anatomical weak spots. On top of dressing her own wounds, Kate has displayed basic medical care to those around her. She has even shown extensive knowledge of cellular biology and organic chemistry, once citing that if both she and the villain Alice were indeed twin sisters then their blood cells would be monozygotic. Kate has also shown extensive chemical knowledge, specifically the nature of Cyanogen Chloride and its breakdown into Cyanide when introduced into the bloodstream.
Due to her father's position within the military, Kate has access to an extensive arsenal of both lethal and non-lethal weapons. Most frequently used are her own stylized collapsible batarangs, frequently used to incapacitate opponents. She also carries a grapple gun for quick ascents and a gas gun for ranged attacks. Her utility belt also conceals tear gas grenades, lock picks, a gas mask, thermite grenades, collapsible batons, and a smart phone capable of long range communication, data storage, and computer hacking.
Her costume is treated with a liquid shear thickening compound making it both stab resistant and small arms bullet proof while retaining flexibility. The cape is a carbon nanotube composite, making it proportionally stronger than steel. It is also weighted at the ends for both defensive and offensive purposes. Her cowl protects from blunt force trauma and is lined with a red wig which further conceals Kate's identity while serving as misdirection to her opponents. The entire suit feeds into the bio-monitors, GPS tracker, and radio receiver in her torso which relays real time encrypted information back to Colonel Kane in Kate's apartment.
Kate frequently uses her high speed Bat-cycle for transport.
Thanks to her current affiliation with the Department of Extranormal Operations Kate has access to a variety of state of the art equipment that even surpasses her former military special operations grade gear. The most notable improvement seems to be in her costume. Drawing from the carbon nanotube design of her cape, Kate's next generation body armor is virtually impervious to gunfire, even from automated weapons.
Kate Shrugs off gunfire from Tong enforcers to protect Agent Cameron Chase.
Kate has also supplemented her non-lethal offensive capabilities with D.E.O. weapons. These include "taser gloves" salvaged from the Electrocutioner, a chemical cocktail of weapons grade tranquilizer and Scarecrow's "Fear Toxin", and a semi-sentient, voice operated, tracking dart made from an alien artificial intelligence with combat capabilities powerful enough to take out a magically enhanced Killer Croc.
Kate displays the various tactical benefits to her D.E.O. remote tracking dart. Including electric, sonic, and incendiary weaponry.
In the Elseworlds story called The Nail, Martha Kent and Jonathan Kent get a flat tire the fateful night that they should have come across an infant Superman, and never crossed paths. In this world, Selina Kyle, also known as the criminal Catwoman, assists Batman after he fights against an empowered Joker that killed both Batgirl and Robin. Catwoman decided she wanted to help Batman and they soon fell in love. To be Batman's partner, Selina Kyle adopted the personality of Batwoman in a costume that was very similar of Kathy Kane's Pre-Crisis costume.
In an alternate reality where the gender of DC's superheroes are reversed, Batman and Superman encounter Helena Bertinelli, more commonly known as the Huntress, as the Batwoman, wearing a costume very similar to the one worn by Batman.
On a mission of the Teen Titans, where they ended up in a bleak future reality, the super-heroine known as Flamebird adopts the identity of Batwoman, in a costume very similar to Kathy Kane's Pre-Crisis costume. This Batwoman is a member of the team known as the Titans East.
In the Elseworlds story Batman: Dark Knight Destiny, Brenna Wayne is a descendant of Bruce Wayne, taking up the identity of Batwoman to fight Vandal Savage, an immortal who has plagued her family since the middle ages.
In JLA #90, Wonder Woman has a vision where she and Batman are lovers. In one particular vision, Wonder Woman becomes the Batwoman, Batman's dark counterpart. She uses her Amazon skills with deadly efficiency, having been hardened by the streets of Gotham.
In this DC Animated Universe direct-to-video movie Batwoman is a new vigilante working the streets of Gotham. She targets Penguin, Rupert Thorn and Carlton Duquesne. The movie revolves around Batman trying to identify the identity of Batwoman. Throughout the movie he suspects three individual women who have no connection to each other ; Gotham Police Detective Sonia Alcana, Dr. Roxanne 'Rocky' Ballantine, and Kathleen 'Kathy' Duquesne. We find out later that all three of them are in fact Batwoman, who unite to take on specific villains who have hurt them in their past. Throughout the movie Bruce Wayne begins a relationship with Kathleen Duquesne, who turns out to be one of the Batwomen.
Batwoman appears in Brave and the Bold episode "The Criss Cross Conspiracy?" under the civilian name Katrina Moldoff, a nod to Sheldon Moldoff, who created the character. Katrina was a bored woman who decided to take on a costume to fight crime. During a fight with the Riddler, she was unmasked, leading her to become a recluse due to the negative attention received from her unmasking. She was also banned by law to fight crime.
Years later, she seeks revenge on the Riddler by seeking out Felix Faust for a spell to switch bodies with Batman. Following the switch, she seeks out the Riddler to kill him for her humiliation at his hands. Not as experienced as Batman, she is captured by the Riddler and almost killed. In the end, she is saved by Batman- in her body- and is sentenced to prison.

Gone Mod.

Go. Designed by Ross Lovegrove for Bernhardt Design
June 10-12 at the Merchandise Mart Chicago, Neocon kicks off with more than 700 showrooms and exhibitors. It's an exciting time for the design industry to see new resources and product introductions. While perusing the vendor list online, I couldn't help but notice the new designer series at Bernhardt Design. These pieces are distinctly modern, and what I love most is that they bridge the gap between residential and commercial design. These beautiful pieces would be at home in any private office or reception area, as well as a residential living room. With the work place often functioning much like a collaborative living room, this seems the perfect fit. Sculptural and dynamic and oh so lovely.
