Night Watch: Special Edition (RU - DVD R5)
Gabe keeps the balance and reveiws the first part of the Russian action trilogy...
This review is sponsored by
"...And so it will be, until a man emerges who is meant to become the Great One. And, if he chooses the side of Light, then Light will win. But, those, to whom the truth has been revealed, say that he will choose Darkness. For it is easier to kill the Light within oneself, than to scatter the Darkness around... The prophecies are coming true."
The war between the Darkness and the Light has long ago reached a stalemate. A truce has been reached, and each side is entrusted with keeping the balance. The Night Watch makes sure the Darkness doesn't overstep its bounds, as the Day Watch does for the Light. This, the first film of a proposed trilogy, concerns the plight of a relatively new member of Moscow Night Watch, Anton Gorodetsky, whose otherworldly abilities were discovered in a previous intervention. Anton was attempting to murder his lover's unborn child with a black magic curse.
Anton is sent out to rescue a young boy, who may or may not be the Great One of legend, from out of control members of the Darkness. Along the way he happens upon a cursed woman of Light, ultimately (and confusingly) creating another problem. The woman's curse is causing the death of all those she comes in contact with, creating a rift in the balance. The cursed virgin reeks havoc, stretching the Night Watch forces thin, and leaves the Great One (or Great Other, as he's sometimes referred to) vulnerable to the pull of the Darkness'.
Night Watch, or Ночной Дозор as it's known in its native Russia, has been summed up by quite a few reviews as The Matrix meets The Lord of the Rings. After viewing it I can understand this consensus, but will say it is misleading. The story's epic scope and affinity to slow motion, characters wearing sunglasses, and special effects is pretty much where the comparisons end. If I were to compare Night Watch to anything, it would be the Hellblazer comic line, which was made into a pretty good little action flick called Constantine earlier this year. John Constantine could easily have been a member of the Night Watch agency, which consists of outcast and regretful warriors, using their supernatural gifts and knowledge, not so much to help innocent people, but to maintain a precious balance of power.
I, of course, can't deny that the "The One", who is temped by "The Dark Side" isn't at least a little derivative. The character's age, and genuine vulnerability makes him a somewhat original character, but the Anakin and Neo affinities are still pretty thick. And there is one point in the film where Anton dons a fluorescent light as a sword, but I think that qualifies as "homage" rather than "rip-off".
Unlike Neo, the Night Watch don't exactly know kung-fu, and viewers expecting spectacular action set-pieces will most likely be disappointed. The few fight sequences are pretty out of this world, but not in the same uber-entertaining sense. Anton's first real fight with the forces of darkness is much more suspenseful and brutal than anything seen in The Matrix, or the also comparable Blade series (at its base, this is kind of a good vampires fighting bad vampires story). The fights themselves are also a little over-edited, but unlike the otherwise wonderful Batman Begins, this sporadic chaos seems appropriate.
The biggest hurdle one must surmount when analyzing Night Watch is not the film's familiarity, as I had initially assumed, but its enigmatic complexity. There isn't one, but two major plotlines overlapping each other, and both unravel very slowly. The cultural and language barriers don't help, and I had a lot of trouble keeping track of characters mostly because I couldn't remember their names. I went into the film knowing it was the first part of the trilogy, but what I didn't know was that the plot that was to carry over was actually secondary to the main plot. Had I realized this right away, rather than spending the majority of the film trying to figure out how these plots were going to tie together, I may've had a more enjoyable experience.
In the end, the film's dueling plots, one which arcs into the next film, the other that wraps up, make me wonder if it would've been more successful as a television series or comic book (I am to understand the films are based on a series of novels). It will take at least two viewings for me to absorb everything, which isn't a bad thing, but nonetheless a bit frustrating. Some films can be revisited for meanings and subtext, others to understand the complexities of its plot. The best films will do both in equal parts. Again, I find the comparisons to The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, and even my own to Blade misleading, because they only really apply on a surface level. If anything, I find Night Watch most analogous to Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko. Like Donnie Darko, I found that I resented Night Watch for all its hype, but liked it more and more the longer I thought about it.
The surface level stuff is there too, interesting cinematography, solid special effects, lovely art design, and decent performances, but these are all things I could say about almost every average film I've ever seen. Though not entirely original at its base, Night Watch is intriguing because it isn't just doing the same old thing. Ingenuity goes a long way with this reviewer. For instance, I've seen about a million movies with characters that could tell the future, but this is the first time I've seen a character "Google" the future. The mixing of the occult (curses, vampires, black magic) and technology is something left mostly untapped by mainstream cinema. Like the Steam-Punk and Splatter-Punk literary movements, this is a concoction that is so downright cool that I found myself wondering why it hadn't been done to death yet. The average film would use this internet fortune telling as the main thrust of the plot, but Night Watch allows it to be simply one of many elements that make a more interesting whole.
This is the part of the review where I inform the curious that this is the only currently (legally) available version of the film in release right now, though an official UK release should be coming up in a few months. I follow that with the fact that it is anamorphically enhanced and that the subtitles are not burned in or anything, so they are crisp and readable.
And then comes the bad news...
Though the transfer is never awful, it's definitely never good either. Some of the film's style dictates that it have a gritty look, but something tells me this wasn't quite the look the filmmakers were looking for. The amount of grain is downright befuddling. Some of the grain is film based, as are most of the artefacts, and some of it is related to both low and high level noise. Details are constantly, though not distressingly fuzzy. The light and dark interplays are never quite satisfying, as though the overall transfer suffers from darkness, the black levels are never rich enough to consider them more than dark gray.
Like I said, this is currently the best version on the market, and a US DVD seems pretty far off. Readers with high quality sets may find the grain and noise distracting. For such a new and well-budgeted film, I really would've expected better of an official release.
Night Watch is presented in Russian Dolby Digital 5.1. The track is spacious, and directional effects brassy, but the dynamic range is lacking. The whole track sounds a bit muddled, and seems to have been recorded on a more quiet level than most DVDs. My system (which is getting up there in age) had to be cranked pretty loudly to get the desired effect, which unfortunately leads to a distorted hiss in all the channels. I'd blame this on the system, but it's not a problem I've had more than three or four times before, each time with lower grade DVDs. Essentially, this is a fine track that finds itself lacking the necessary "oomph".
When reviewing HK or Japanese DVDs I have the good fortune of friends that speak the languages, so I can usually navigate the menus successfully, with some assistance. I can also fumble my way through most Roman character languages (German, Italian, Spanish). Unfortunately, I don't know any one who speaks Russian, and I don't recognize the characters the language uses, so checking out the disc's special features proved difficult.
From what I can tell, this is a pretty bare set, including the usual DVD stand-bys, like TV spots, trailers, and cast and crew bios (in Russian, of course). Unlike most DVDs, Night Watch includes ads for products used in the film. Overall, not the most extensive set, but figuring the language barrier into the equation, I'd say English speakers won't really mind.
Like Casshern, which I reviewed earlier this year (along with two other site writers), the film is tactfully pleasing, but ultimately confusing enough to become frustrating. Unlike Casshern, Night Watch isn't overlong, and is intriguing enough to warrant second and third viewings. It also has the benefit of being the first part of a trilogy, which means it may just be the foundation for two better films. I, personally, am very much looking forward to Day Watch, despite my misgivings for its prequel.

There is definitely a legitimate non-bootleg REGION-FREE NTSC DVD of NIGHT WATCH, which is of better video and audio quality than the PAL DVD. It's hard to find online, but there still are a couple Russian DVD stores that sell it, that haven't been hasseled by FOX to stop selling it. If your town or city has a Russian community (for me, Brighton Beach, NY), there are stores that sell the legitimate NTSC DVD of NIGHT WATCH.
Saw this when it was first released, I really liked it, I'm hoping that the style and locations of the subtitles has been preserved.
"Night Watch" is scheduled to open Feb. 17th stateside and may expand from there.
The film sounds interesting. I have read FOX has cut 15 minutes out for US release (hopefully the uncut version will be an extra on the R1 DVD release).
This is supposed to open in the States in February. I hope that we actually get it, but I doubt it. The downfall of living in a small city I guess.
Oh just for the sake of saying so, I thought "Casshern" was less confusing and more extremely melodramatic by the end and filled with nonsensical fighting scenes. I don't think it makes more sense than Webber's "Phantom of the Opera:" it's supposed to be vague and hard to understand I thought. I was into it until it took a turn toward "Versus" territory.
Ah this movie has forever been "Coming soon." I had a ticket for it at this year's Tribeca fest but after the ridiculous amount of security 20th Century Fox made so that no one was taping it, the picture still hadn't started 30 minutes after it was supposed to begin so being the typical New Yorker I am, I stormed out and demanded a refund.
They say it will come out soon but then again that term is rather relative considering how the film was slated to be released in 2005 in August or so and has been sat upon ever since. Hope it's worth the wait.

Missed this in the theatres here (or id it go to video without getting released? sometimes that happens here) but caught the trailer and want to see it - let's hope that they actually do make the trilogy otherwise it would be a bummer to get into the series only to have it not be completed.
oh, forgetting my self, great review Gabe
oh, forgetting my self, great review Gabe
Great movie, but confusing as heck. Does ANYONE have an idea what importance that woman served, and what the funnel was exactly?
It's a shot from a computer game the Dark leader uses to predict the future.
that second last screenshot looks like its from some CGI computer game..
was that in the movie?? lol
was that in the movie?? lol
Yeah, there were a few of those Mal.
Think I read somewhere that this one is littered with a load of cultural references that'll just go over the head of your average non-Russian audience.
Got the dvd of it early this year which I will point out theres a another release or alteast for me my copy was all region/NTSC. Not sure if they still sell the all region copies anymore because it seems every website that sales them now only has region 5/pal release. I\'m pretty sure it was released by the same peole but at the time they just wanted to make it more available.
Anyways yeah I enjoyed the movie and it can get confusing because theres a lot of characters and certain parts during the movie they dont really explain that well. But by the end it all comes together which makes you want to watch it second time. Does have some awesome visual effects and a couple cool gore/blood scenes.
This was suppose to come out last summer here in the US. I hope it makes it next year and the sequel comes out next month in Russia.

I got one of those 'illegal' copies earlier on in the summer after being attracted to the poster inside the theater that I work at. When I watched this movie, besides the c**p quality of the DVD, I was amazed at how awesome it was. And I really looked forward to the US release (whether it be dubbed/subbed).....but am p**sed now that it has been postponed for what looks like indefinitely.......

With a tearful tribute, a lot of laughs and a smattering of broad-brimmed hats, Tony Greig was given a fitting farewell at the SCG on Sunday.
The former England cricket captain and respected commentator died on December 29 in Sydney after suffering a heart attack during a battle with lung cancer.
On Sunday, he was given a touching memorial led by his wife Vivian, who broke down during her goodbye speech.
"He could make anything sound special and make anyone feel special," Vivian told the audience of 300.
"He gave us confidence when we faltered, he gave us strength when felt drained.
"He gave us laughter when we felt like crying. But most of all he gave us love.
"It's a great privilege and honour to have been Tony's wife."
Greig was a man whose stature was not limited to his imposing frame and whose impact extended far beyond his achievements on the cricket pitch.
In the stands of the SCG, commentary doyen Richie Benaud sat side by side with Greig's old sparring partner Bill Lawry, who delivered the eulogy - and drawing large applause for his Billy Birmingham-inspired impressions of Greig and Benaud.
Highlighting the influence Greig had on a varied cross section of the international game, England champions Ian Botham and David Gower recorded messages, while letters were passed on from Indian legend Ravi Shastri and Sri Lankan hero Arjuna Ranatunga.
They all painted a picture of a genuine cricket tragic born on the eastern cape of South Africa, who became a champion England allrounder before settling in Australia.
But above all they described a man who had a deep appreciation of the game.
"Where did his allegiance lie? His allegiance lay with the sport of cricket," Vivian said.
"He loved watching attacking cricket. He loved watching the Aussies every summer.
"He loved watching Arjuna Ranatunga lead his side in the early `90s.
"He honoured any side that honoured the game."
Greig was remembered as one of the game's great innovators who spearheaded the World Series cricket movement alongside Kerry Packer and embraced technology - to much amusement on occasion.
Vivian recalled a story she felt encapsulated the bravery - and stupidity - of her husband's love of the new.
"He loved innovation," she said.
"Firstly as a player wearing a leather scrum cap, and later a crash helmet as a sensible form of protection.
"Quite early on, I asked him why he didn't wear a helmet in his career and he patiently explained that he felt it took away from the test of courage to face a fast bowler.
"Then came (Australian pace duo Dennis) Lillee and (Jeff) Thompson and he reconsidered the helmet.
"I was appalled. (I said) `You mean to tell me that it took over 100 years after someone had invented a box before you came along to think about protecting your head?.
"That told me a lot about male priorities but it also showed me Tony was pretty smart, and brave, to wear a helmet."
Lawry described Greig's ability to spend hours in front of his laptop keeping up to date with every seemingly insignificant match report from the corners of the planet - much to the amusement of his less thorough ally, Lawry.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard attended the service, lauding Greig, who died in December after battling lung cancer, as "a towering cricket figure".
Both the Australian and Sri Lankan squads were in attendance, as were current and former Australian stars Shane Watson, Brett Lee and Andy Bichel.

Ivanovic pulls off stunning upset
Serena Williams was sensationally dumped out of the Australian Open in the fourth round by a resurgent Ana Ivanovic.
Ivanovic had failed even to win a set in four previous clashes against Williams, who was on a 25-match winning streak, but the 14th seed produced a stunning display to triumph 4-6 6-3 6-2.
Williams' coach Patrick Mouratoglou had said before the tournament he thought she could win all four grand slams this year, but instead the 32-year-old has again suffered a shock defeat in Melbourne.
Two years ago the world number one also lost in the fourth round to Ekaterina Makarova while last year Williams was beaten by fellow American Sloane Stephens in the quarter-finals.
Ivanovic said: "It's amazing, I'm so thrilled. It's not easy playing such a champion. But she's also human and I know she has a lot of pressure. I really went out there swinging."
There were reports prior to the match that Williams was struggling with a back problem, and the 32-year-old certainly looked out of sorts from the start.
Ivanovic broke the Williams serve for only the second time in the tournament in the fifth game but then dropped her own serve to love.
And when the Serbian served to stay in the set, Williams pounced, clinching it when Ivanovic netted a forehand.
When Ivanovic won the French Open in 2008, it seemed it would be first of many grand slam titles, but expectation and injuries got the better of the 26-year-old and she has spent the intervening years rebuilding her confidence.
Ivanovic was hugely impressive in beating home favourite Sam Stosur in the third round, and she showed she would not be intimidated by Williams by breaking serve again for 3-2 in the second set and this time cementing it with a service hold.
She had more chances to break in Williams' next service game as she used the world number one's power against her to great effect, but this time the American held on.
Ivanovic did not let it affect her, though, and took her third set point with a thumping forehand and a pump of the fist.
She then roared into a 3-0 lead at the start of the third set and it was all Williams could do to hang on.
Ivanovic had her first match point in the eighth game but netted a forehand going for a winner and Williams forced her to serve it out.
That proved no problem, though, Ivanovic bringing up three more match points and taking the first when Williams dumped a forehand long.
Ivanovic put her hands on her head in apparent disbelief as the Rod Laver Arena crowd hailed her achievement while Williams quickly trudged off court.
Ivanovic, a finalist at Melbourne Park as a 20-year-old in 2008, is through to just her second grand slam quarter-final since her French Open triumph and next meets either Australia's Casey Dellacqua or Eugenie Bouchard of Canada.

"Best Clippers Ever"
I will never be without these clippers again! In fact ordering a second pair so my son can help clip. The 14' cord pack adaptor is awesome. I can clip all day and never stop.
"Great clipper"
The Andis website is charging $495 for this clipper. No rechargable battery lives forever; replacement batteries sell for @ $60. You can also buy a detachable cord. My horse clipping friends rave about this clipper. Anything that will do a full body clip on a horse is a serious clipper
"Great Clippers"
These are excellent clippers, I have used them for about 10 years and have never had a problem with them. I have 8+ Std. Poodles and believe me they get a work out. I have had to replace the battery packs twice and am about to order my third set. Ni-Clad batteries wear out period, but you get 2 or 3 years of service out of them which is about the standard for these batteries. I work in the construction industry and all power tools need to have replacement in about the same time period. They get "tired" after a while, that goes with the territory. Not to having deal with a cord is a godsend in poodles.
"Great Clippers"
These clippers are great!! I have had mine for at least two or more years. Not sure how previous review spent that much money. Also you can buy extra batter, attachable cord, stand all separately. When I bought mine I also bought an extra battery to rotate. If there are problems with the clippers. Go to Andis.com and find a service center. They can fix them for you.
Pros: No cord, light weight, power full, compact Cons: About 2 years old and already the battery pack is not good and I have not found anywhere that will repair it or a place to buy pack. I only have 4 dogs so it is used but not as much as a professional groomer would use it. I hate that I spent almost $550. and they only lasted 2 years.

Profile of George Willig
George Willig was a 27 year-old toymaker from Queens when he climbed solo up the side of the south building of the World Trade Center (WTC 2), on the morning of 26 May 1977. Using special tools and accompanied on the ground by his brother Steve, Jery Hewitt and photographer Michael Cardacino, Willig began his illegal ascent around 6:30 on a Thursday morning. Near the 55th or 66th floor (reports vary), he was approached by police on scaffolding, but they allowed him to proceed to the top on his own. When he reached the 110th floor around 10:00 a.m., he was arrested and charged with trespassing. The Port Authority announced they would sue him, but it became clear that Willig, dubbed the "Human Fly" by the Daily News, had achieved national attention as a New York folk hero. A settlement was reached for public relations purposes, and Willig was fined one penny for each floor of the tower he climbed, a total of $1.10. By all accounts shy of the limelight, he nonetheless made the rounds on TV shows and in magazines, but left it all behind after a couple of years -- for life in California in the construction business.
George Willig signed his name on a chunk of metal at the top observation deck, and it remained visible until the building was destroyed on 11 September 2001.

PA City Council District 4 race
District 4 is up for grabs with current District 4 Councilman Harold Doucet running for mayor. The following are two candidates who are vying for the position:
Robert Troy
Age: 68
Hometown: Port Arthur
Background: Troy served as an elected official in both the National Maritime Union and Seafarers International Union. He was a merchant marine for 41 years, spending 31 years at sea, mostly working for New Orleans company Lykes Lines, which was the third largest American steamship line at one time, according to Troy.
Issues that need to be addressed: Water lines, unemployment
"We've got pretty bad water mains throughout the city," he said. "Bad water pressure also affects the safety of the citizens because some of the fire mains just don't have enough pressure to fight fires."
Troy said that he also has a plan to address the unemployment issue in his district.
"It is now a technological world. People that have been working in the refinery for years have manual labor skills that are no longer needed because those skills have been automated," he said. "Those people need to be retrained."
He said that the city should develop partnerships with industry and educational institutions such as Lamar and Memorial High School.
"We need to start training high school kids in skills that are required at these refineries so they won't have to leave Port Arthur," he said. "We can have courses at high school that will prepare kids to work in these types of fields."
Interesting tidbit: As a merchant marine, Troy has visited 109 different countries and has traveled on every ocean, making trips around the world at least six times, he said.
Why you should vote for him: Troy said that he believes that the skills he acquired while working in the merchant marines will help him better serve as District 4 councilmember.
"It's a job that requires a lot of leadership," he said. "I bring more in-depth knowledge about the industry, how the city is structured and organizational skills that I don't think my opponent has. I'm a straightforward guy, and that is what is needed to move forward."
He also said that his experience as an elected official in the National Maritime and Seafarers Unions has prepared him to represent the people of Port Arthur.
"It required dealing with people and their concerns, helping them with benefits and providing services for them," Troy said. "Basically it's the same thing as what I would be doing on the City Council."
Because he has traveled to so many different regions of the world, Troy said that he believes he has a unique window into the various cultures that the city of Port Arthur has to offer.
"Travel broadens the mind," he said. "You get to learn many different cultures and how people do things in different parts of the world. I know where they are coming from. I've been there and have seen how they live in their countries."
Rosalind Linden-Queen
Age: 62
Hometown: Port Arthur
Education: Linden-Queen has a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's in business organizational management (both from University of Phoenix). She has a doctorate in theology from The Lord's Outreach International School of Theology in Lake Charles.
Background: Linden-Queen served in the U.S. Army as a nurse and instructor in the medical profession, working her way up to sergeant first class. She had plans to go to officer candidate school but injured her back during the Persian Gulf War while loading wounded soldiers into a helicopter. "I am a disabled vet and during my military tour, spending time in other countries and cities, I rendered visions of what Port Arthur could and can become," Linden-Queen said. She said that since she receives a check from the government, she is not going to accept a paycheck from the city if she becomes councilwoman. "If I am elected, I am hoping the city would allow me to take the funds that they would be paying me and turn it into a scholarship fund for needy children who want to go to college," she said. After returning from the military, Linden-Queen worked as a volunteer at Port Arthur schools tutoring third-graders. "Our future is in our children," she said.
Linden-Queen said that she helped manage several businesses in Las Vegas, where she also worked for the Maloof family, owners of the Sacramento Kings and former owners of the Fiesta Hotel. She also worked for Prudential Insurance and Sierra Insurance, the company that covers the Teamsters Union, she said. "My degrees have allowed me to work in several different fields," she said.
As vice president of the Port Arthur Beautification Commission and committee member on the Zoning Board of Adjustments, Linden-Queen said she is already heavily involved in the city. "Our job is to make the city a nice looking city. We do cleanup and recycling."
Issues that need to be addressed: Streets, infrastructure, beautification, unity within City Council
"My slogan for my campaign is unity plus strength equals growth," she said. "These elements are necessary for conducting city business. Without them, the result is a stagnate society lacking growth. City Council members are elected by the people to meet the city's needs in all areas. We must do that. City Council must have vision and be unified in purpose. That purpose is to meet the needs of our people and grow. A unified City Council will assure that infrastructure problems are fixed."
Linden-Queen said the current City Council is not allowing Port Arthur to grow. "All we're doing is tearing down," she said. "We're not building back up. No one can seem to agree on what should be built, where it should be built, how much money they need to use to build it and where they are going to get the money. If you are going to tear down dilapidated buildings and homes, put something in its place.
" Curing the unemployment rate through training programs targeting locals will increase our tax base," she said. "A broader revenue base through employment will enhance our ability to rectify infrastructure issues and other quality of life items deemed necessary for the city's growth."
Interesting tidbit: Linden-Queen is held a voter registration rally April 6, where she discussed the issues of Port Arthur. Rapper Bun B performed at the event.
Why you should vote for her: Linden-Queen said that she believes her education has prepared her to serve on City Council. "I know how to run an organization," she said. "They need more people in City Council with business backgrounds. City Council is a business." Linden-Queen said she already knows some of the major problems of the city — infrastructure and need for more beautification — because of the time she has spent serving on the Port Arthur Beautification Commission and the Zoning Board of Adjustments. "Being involved in these two different commissions allows me to see what is going on in a lot of areas," she said. "I love Port Arthur because it's the place of my birth. I grew up here and want it to be the best it can be for our citizens." She said she would push for beautification and street repair. "If you have a burning desire to fix something that's wrong, you are going to get it done," she said. Linden-Queen says that the city, school district and other industries need to get together and become one huge entity working together with the goal of helping Port Arthur grow. "If we don't do what we need to do in this city, it is going to continue to go down," she said.

|Pulmonary Function; Newborn, Abnormal Infant Wheeze In-utero Nicotine Second Hand Smoke
|Dietary Supplement: Vitamin C +prenatal vitamin Dietary Supplement: Placebo tablet+prenatal vitamin
|Phase 2 Phase 3
Smoking during pregnancy remains a major public health problem as at least 12% of pregnant women cannot quit smoking during pregnancy. This addiction is the largest preventable cause of childhood respiratory illness, including asthma, and children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy show lifetime decreases in pulmonary function. Smoking is a unique morbidity in that it is addictive, heavily advertised and recent genome studies show there are genotypes that significantly increase the likelihood of being unable to quit. Teen pregnancy, low income, low education, and living with another smoker are important factors increasing the odds of smoking during pregnancy. Pulmonary function tests done shortly after birth in babies born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy show decreased pulmonary function as measured by decreased respiratory flows and respiratory compliance and altered tidal breathing patterns. These changes can still be measured even after the infants have reached adulthood. Multiple epidemiologic studies show that these decreases in pulmonary function lead to increased respiratory disease and costs of hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
The primary aim of this double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized, multi-site study is to demonstrate improved pulmonary function testing at 3 months of age, in infants delivered to smoking mothers who are randomized to 500 mg/day of supplemental vitamin C versus placebo at less than or equal to 22 weeks of pregnancy. We will recruit 278 smoking pregnant women into the study. Patients will meet with research personnel at each prenatal visit and smoking cessation will be actively encouraged. Patients will be monitored with a set of serial biomarkers to assess smoking and medication compliance, including urine cotinine levels, smoking questionnaires, pill counts and fasting plasma ascorbic acid levels. Pulmonary function tests will be done at 3 months of age and will measure forced expiratory flows. The infants will also be followed through one year of age with monthly validated respiratory questionnaires and a follow-up pulmonary function test at 12 months of age. Success of this study is supported by strong pilot data showing statistically significant improvements at about 48 hours of age in pulmonary function tests in infants born to smoking mothers who received vitamin C versus placebo, and preliminary data showing a lower incidence of wheezing at 12 months of age in these infants. Key genetic polymorphisms shown to increase sensitivity to in-utero smoke exposure will also be measured. The success of this study is also supported by animal models showing the effectiveness of vitamin C to preserve pulmonary function and genetic and epidemiologic studies linking the effects of smoking during pregnancy to oxidant mechanisms. The secondary aims of the study include: 1) to demonstrate a decreased incidence of wheezing through 12 months of age in infants delivered to smoking mothers who are randomized to 500mg/day of supplemental vitamin C versus placebo during pregnancy; 2) to demonstrate improved pulmonary function tests at 12 months of age in these infants.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand: Season One (US - BD)
and boobs, and entrails, and sex, and gory impalement, and adds Gabe...
The epic story begins when an unnamed Thracian's (Andy Whitfield) involvement in a Thracian unit of Roman auxiliary in a campaign against the Getae. The Thracians only agree to fight because the Getae hordes frequently raid their homeland, not out of any love of or respect for the Romans. Roman general Claudius Glaber (Craig Parker) has little interest in the Getae or the Thracians, and pressed by his lustful wife, he abandons the Thracians. When the unnamed soldier, a natural leader, confronts Glaber, a series of dominos drop, and some of the Roman high command are killed. As punishment the soldier and his wife (Erin Cummings) are ripped apart and into slavery. Expected to die against impossible odds in the arena, the Thracian kills four reputable gladiators, and earns himself the new name Spartacus from his new master Quintus Lentulus Batiatus (John Hannah).
Blood and sand, and breasts, and guts, and men having sex with women, and women having sex with other women, and men having sex with other men, and be-headings, and more nudity. On the surface Spartacus: Blood and Sand may be the most eclectically outrageous television series ever to air in the United States. The only thing missing are actual insertion shots. Yet the series is so stylized and the subject matter so debaucherous in the first place it all feels about right. At first the series style is too close to Zack Snyder's 300 and Ridley Scott's Gladiator, but assuming the viewer can get over the lack of any scruples or subtlety on the part of the cast and crew, it's actually a pretty fun little ride. The melodrama and scenery chewing is all part of the series' high volume style, which begs it's audience to look at the god damn screen no matter what unnatural gore effect, monkey business plot twist, or slow motion for the sake of slow motion makes us want to ignore the insanity. I really, really enjoyed this show against all my better judgments. I love the stupid amounts of blood that pour from wounds, I love the Sam Raimi inspired compositions, I love each and every one of the actors, and I love the way they all only have two volume levels – contemplative murmur, and furious shouting.
There is an artificial look to this entire series, but in high definition, 1080p video I rarely looks anything short of impressive. Grain is prevalent but in a fine digital form, and I caught virtually zero artefacts or haloing. Details are incredible, even those delegated to the background, and likely ignored by most viewers. The close-ups are almost unreal in the amount of detail. You can feel the dirt ground into the pours. There's lots of sharp focus pull, and there are very limited colour pallets, but these are obviously in keeping with the kind of weird style. Golden sunsets and rises, golden sand, and golden, glimmering body parts are all clean and sharp, but the red highlights are the strongest visual element. Blood is a clear forerunner here, but so are many of the costumes, especially those of Lucy Lawless, whose hair is downright distracting at times. The tone is certainly dirty, and the visuals follow suit, but this is a crystal clear image anyway.
Anchor bay opts for a TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack, and it is alive in every channel, especially when music is taken into account. Dialogue heavy scenes keep most of the sound in the middle channel, with minor exceptions of characters moving through the stereo channel. However, when the music kicks in it bounces around all the channels, even during these slowed aural moments. Battle scenes are the big draw for the track, with their whooshing, clanging weapons, grunting fighters, and rear channels full of cheering, bloodthirsty fans. The music here also picks up a metal slant, and has a more powerful drumline. The LFE gets plenty of work throughout the series, in the form of drums, and pounding bodies.
Extras begin with commentary tracks, which are hidden deeply in the in the menu system. To access one must go to the episode in question, verify they want to watch it, then verify they want to listen to the commentary. Episodes with commentaries include 'The Red Serpent (with director Rick Jacobson, writer/creator Steven DeKnight, executive producers Rob Tapert and Joshua Donen), 'Sacramentum Gladitorum (with director Rick Jacobson, writer/creator Steven DeKnight, executive producer Rob Tapert), 'The Thing in the Pit' (with director Jesse Warn and actor Andy Whitfield), 'Shadow Games' (with director Michael Hurst, and actors Andy Whitfield and Lucy Lawless), 'Delicate Things (with director rick Jacobson, creator Steven DeKnight and actor Erin Commings), 'Whore' (with actors Andy Whitfield, Lucy Lawless and Viva Bianca), 'Party Favors' (with actors Andy Whitfield, Lucy Lawless and Viva Bianca), 'Revelations' (with writer Brent Fletcher, creator Steven S. DeKnight and actor Nick E. Tarabay), and 'Kill Them All' (with writer/creator Steven S DeKnight, and actors Peter Mensah and Katrina Law. The tracks all have their own style, with the writing staff filling in some blanks while Lawless and Whitfield have no problem being dry and witty. The all four discs in the set feature a series of pop-up historical factoids, surprisingly few of which have anything to do with the historical period at hand. Still, some good factoids, and a good addition.
Disc four also features a series of featurettes, starting with ' Spartacus: Blood and Sand: Behind the Scenes' (HD, 14:50) a Starz channel EPK likely played between movies and television shows, made of choice scenes, some behind the scenes footage and cast and crew interviews. Next up is 'Spartacus: Battle Royale' (HD, 7:30) a look at the speed ramped, digital blood fights set to the series sound track. 'Gladiator Boot Camp' (HD, 4:20) sort of speaks for itself, and gives us a peak at the boys practicing for the action. 'Grime and Punishment' (HD, 4:50) takes a look at the making of the scenes that take place in 'The Hole', a particularly gross pit of cess. 'Andy gets Plastered' (HD, 2:40) covers the casting of the lead actor's body. 'Legend Re-Imagined' (HD, 4:00) is another kind of fluffy look behind production, and admitting fervently that the series is not historically accurate. 'Oh Those Randy Romans'(HD, 6:15) is a look at all the shows sex, and the intertwining relationships, but again appears to have been made for television. 'Shooting Green' (HD, 4:50) is a look behind the scenes of the complex green screen effects. No mention of Zack Snyder's 300. 'Exposing Your Lotus' (HD, 5:20) finishes things out, and is basically a blooper reel. Things end with a Spartacus: Vengeance trailer.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a surprisingly potent little guilty pleasure. I really had little interest in it (I'm not a fan of 300 beyond its technical prowess), and now I want more. Apparently star Adam Whitfield cancer scare hasn't ended yet (seriously, Lymphomas, stay away), so I'll have to get used to a new face for my hero. I should also have plenty of occasions to discuss why I'm not totally gay for eyeballing this many sweaty muscle bound men's men. The video quality is nearly perfect, giving one the perfect chance to really enjoy all that dirt caked man meat, and the TrueHD sound is brash and violent. Extras take up a lot of time, but don't add up to quite as much as I'm guessing Starz intended.

No, not Poe's infamous raven -- an even more deadly version; The Edge of Night's Raven Alexander.
Played first by Juanin Clay but made famous by Sharon Gabet, Raven's first conquest in Monticello was rising, young politician Kevin Jamison (this was after, however, she'd been engaged to her stepbrother only to have him break it off when he learned Raven was simultaneously having an affair with his father, her stepfather). Raven and Kevin married following the death of his wife. And following that, Raven made a horrifying discovery (in soap terms): Her husband was boring.
Some women may have responded by taking up tennis, joining the Junior League, or maybe embarking on some sort of good-deed crusade (poverty, education, the environment -- I suspect all non-profits are stuffed to the gills with women, and men, who find their significant others unexpectedly duller than predicted). Raven, however, took up with the District Attorney -- Logan Swift (Joe Lambie, later the frustrated sheriff on Falcon Crest).
When she became pregnant, Raven had the clever idea to pass the baby off as her husband's. Alas, Kevin proved sterile. (I worry, are a majority of soap towns built too close to nuclear power plants? The rates of sterility are truly disturbing, as are the rates of said sterilities magically reversing themselves).
Kevin decided to stay with Raven for the sake of his career, but grew cold and distant. Raven, as bored by his disdain as she had been by his desire, decided to leave the country. Kevin drove frantically to the airport to stop her, and ended up driving off the side of a cliff.
Raven married Logan, but without much enthusiasm. After their son, Jamey, was born, she found herself -- you guessed it -- bored again. As before, no tennis or Junior League for Raven. She jumped into bed with Elliot Dorn (played by Lee Goddard, later the second Kent Bogard on AMC).
Which is where we pick up our story on the AOL/PGP Classic Soap Channel. How will Logan react to going from being the sexy boy-toy to the cuckolded husband? Tune in and see!
And for those wondering where actress Sharon Gabet is now, as of 2002, she had written a book, "From the Raven to the Dove," an autobiography of her "fascinating journey from the farms of Indiana through celebrity amidst the struggles of everyday life to the mystical union with God."

Title: Spectroscopic follow-up of the SWARMS survey
Abstract: We request telescope time for the spectroscopic follow-up of short period double white dwarf (WD) binaries discovered in the SDSS data base by the SWARMS survey. These systems might be progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe), or end in accretion-induced collapse to a neutron star or a massive WD, or lead to one of an emerging class of fast, faint transients with low ejected mass like SN2002bj and SN2005E. Time resolved spectroscopy is crucial to determine the radial velocity curves, establish the periods, refine the mass estimates, discriminate the likely final fates, and calculate the merging timescales. These observations will allow us to derive a reliable rate for the merging of binary WDs of different masses in the Galactic disk.

should have no exhibition unless they would agree to pay three-fourths of cost of music finally they agreed to pay it then jest before close of school he backed down on everything and through false

the com j pan y was sent with a detachment of thirteen cavalry to meet the president near s uth carolina line after much : impatient anxiety to see him his car riage at length appeared in the dis

give a silent salutation but the familiar and affable address of \\ ashington soon dispelled his em barrassment and they moved forward engaging in lively conversation about the revolutionary history of adjacent localities the president evincing much interest in his remarks and inquiries from the record it is probable that they passed through charlotte then a small village without stopping al though they found an immense con course of people assembled to greet him they reached salisbury on a pleas ant day about 10 o'clock in the morn ing an interesting feature in his re ception was that in addition to the escort of cavalry he was met near the town by a company composed of little boys who presented quite a pecu liar and grotesque appearance from the fact that they all wore hack tails in their hats this incident was very pleasing to the president he was received by a vast assemblage of the citizens of the town and surrounding country at the old gourt-house which stood in the public square from there he retired to dine at the hotel of col yarborough who i believe was the father of the late col yarborough of raleigh the hotel was the house that was occupied not long since by mr

Neven Subotic believes that Borussia Dortmund have matured since last season following their Champions League round of 16 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.
The German giants booked their ticket for the quarter-finals by beating Shakhtar 3-0 at the Westfalenstadion after previously recording a 2-2 draw in the first leg, and Subotic has stressed BVB have learned from their mistakes.
"Luck plays a big part. Last year we had a lot of bad luck in games where we played better and ended up losing, but this year we've learned from our mistakes and are a little more experienced, as we showed on Tuesday," Subotic told the official Uefa website.
"The only way Shakhtar were going to score was if we did something stupid, and we didn't, so that shows we're maturing.
"We showed the whole world watching that, even though we're young, we have the courage and quality to do it our way."
The draw for the quarter-finals will take place in Nyon on March 15.

It was surreal.
It was one of the most beautiful feelings I had ever experienced.
You might think that this was my first baby. But it wasn't. My most memorable first kiss belonged to my last born, my 5th child. I remember it most vividly because I didn't take it for granted like I did with my first three.
Emotionally, I was a different person than I had been before, and I'd realized that getting pregnant doesn't guarantee a healthy baby 9 months later. It was different because I didn't actually believe that my babies had been delivered, alive, until that moment.
As I lay on the operating table getting put back together, I heard their cries, but they were in unison so I thought something terrible had happened to my last, my John. I know why I thought John must be the silent one but I was wrong, so wrong.
He was the "healthy" one.....as healthy as a 33 weeker can be, and he was the first to be brought to me. Before the surgery I had resigned myself to not being able to touch or hold my babies, so it was an unexpected gift, a granting of something I can't define when the neonatalogist brought me John. I kissed him and knew that my life had changed forever. He was itty bitty. So tiny, yet seemed so robust. For the first time in months I felt a real glimmer of hope. I felt sure that I would actually bring my boys home, despite the odds.
When Jacob was brought to me the kiss was different. It was a kiss of understanding. A kiss that seemed to know that he was ill and would have a harder road to travel than his brother.
But John's kiss.......that was the kiss that told me everything would be alright, that our lives had been changed forever.
I'm thankful for that first kiss, a precious gift I'll always hold dear.
