Kino bundles together four of their previously released special edition Blu-ray releases of Jean Rollin's cinematic oddities, reissuing them as a boxed set under the banner The Cinema Of Jean Rollin: The Vampire Collection. The discs in this set are identical to the previously released individual film releases that came out a couple of years ago, but this is still very much a worthwhile collection for anyone who doesn't already own those discs. Here's a look at what is contained underneath that slick color box are…
The first feature film made by the late Jean Rollin was 1968's The Rape Of The Vampire, a bizarre black and white 'melodrama in two parts' (according to the on screen text that appears at the beginning of the movie, and it does have two distinct parts) that was originally intended to be nothing more than a collection of additional footage that producer Sam Selsky (credited on screen as $am $elsky) intended to splice into a film he had acquired entitled Vampire, Spawn Of The Devil. This was basically just the French dubbed version of 1943's Dead Men Walk, which starred George Zucco which was too short to hit the requisite ninety minute feature length running time Selsky knew would be required to get anything out of this picture at the French box office. Rollin was employed as an editor at the time and accepted Selsky's offer to pad out the American film, but this project soon took on a life of its own as it became increasingly bizarre and ultimately fairly surreal. When Selsky saw what Rollin had done, he was intrigued with what the first time feature director had turned in on such a low budget and he decided to give him the freedom to extend his thirty minutes of footage into an hour and a half long feature film independent of Vampire, Spawn Of The Devil, and thus was born The Rape Of The Vampire.
Why the history lesson? Well, knowing how the film came to be makes it a little easier to forgive its flaws and to appreciate its oddly disjointed narrative and bizarre atmosphere. Despite the fact that this was Rollin's first feature, it's got loads of ambience and tone, but the storyline is more than just a little bit surreal. The first part of the film follows a psychiatrist named Thomas (Bernard Letr) who heads out into rural France with two fellow doctors to investigate the claims of a quartet of beautiful women who reside out there who insist that they are centuries old vampires spawned by rape in the time of Louis XV. These four women, who are able to wander around in the sunlight unharmed but who do drink human blood, are at the beck and call of a man they refer to as the Lord of the Manor (Doc Moyle) and they worship a pagan statue placed oddly in the middle of a field. Shortly after Thomas and his companions arrive, a crowd of armed villagers decide to get rid of the four women and launch a small scale war against them, pinning them down inside their castle. Thomas figures they only way he can help make it out this situation alive is to have one of the women turn him into one of their own and after she obliges, they head to a familiar rocky beach for the showdown.
The second part of the film picks up where the first part left off with the arrival of the sexy and exotic Vampire Queen (Jacqueline Sieger) arriving in time to witness the aftermath, finding the four women she was looking for dead. Disheartened, she decides to force a doctor (Jean-Loup Philippe) to help her find a cure for vampirism while the dead are brought back to life and mad science runs amuck which all leads to a strange and macabre wedding inside Paris' infamous Theatre du Grand Guignol.
So when you consider that the film was shot in two parts, with the first part finished without much regard to any sort of follow up, you can understand why the second part of the movie makes due without the characters from the initial storyline. This doesn't mean that the second part will make any more sense, because it won't, but it does at least partially explain the environment which birthed this beautiful disaster of a film. Even when the film is making little to no sense, Rollin's expert command of imagery runs rampant throughout the film ensuring that the visuals do indeed go a long way towards making up for the improvised and very surreal storyline. Even when the narrative is going in a few different directions at once and never really finalizing any of them, we're treated to shot after shot of stark black and white imagery that really suits what little story there is. Gorgeous shots of run down cemeteries, strange laboratories, beautiful women and eerie settings are all wonderfully framed and lit and help to pull us in to this fever dream of a movie. Periodically pretentious and almost always disjointed, The Rape Of The Vampire isn't a 'good' movie as far as storytelling goes but it is a beautiful looking film that undoubtedly charts the course on which Rollin would travel in almost all of the pictures he made later on in his career. As frequently silly as it all is, you can't help but get pulled in…
The Nude Vampire:
While Jean Rollins' second feature length film is far from his best efforts, it's an interesting look at what was to come from one of European genre cinema's most gifted and fascinating directors.
The film isn't heavy on plot, but it follows a man named Pierre (Olivier Martin, Jean Rollin's brother!) who becomes involved with a woman (Caroline Cartier) who is constantly being chased by a strange group who hide their faces with animal masks. Pierre's wealthy father (Maurice Lemaitre, who co-wrote The Iron Rose) is on a quest for immortality and so he holds the girl captive as he believes that her blood holds the secret to eternal life. Pierre is in love with her, however, so he sets her free but things don't go as planned and the sect that Pierre's father is involved with turn out to be very diabolical indeed.
The visual trademarks that Rollin would become well known for (long and lingering shots of empty beaches, gothic architecture, completely unnecessary but rather exquisite nudity) are all prominently featured through the picture. Working in color for the first time in his career, Rollin shows here a natural ability to eschew the confines of black and white cinematography and completely embrace the options that color photography allows. The film looks fantastic, stunning even in certain scenes, allowing us to look past the very obvious constraints of the film's low budget and soak in the strange, surreal atmosphere of which there is no shortage. Be it the eerie masked characters that populate the film or the loneliness that stems from those shots on the desolate beach Rollin would become so fond of, the film's visuals more than make up for whatever shortcomings might be obvious in the story.
The film doesn't always make a whole lot of sense but it's an enjoyable romp through graveyards and castles never the less. The title might be a little misleading, there aren't really any nude vampires in the movie to speak of, but the atmosphere, ambience and sheer weirdness make up for that. It's also interesting to see 'the twins' show up here. Rollin would use them in a few different films and they always bring a very alien feel whenever they appear. The finale, where they play a key role, wraps up the fairly obscure plot rather nicely and as a precursor of things to come from the director, The Nude Vampire works rather well.
Shiver Of The Vampires:
Shiver Of The Vampires is, in Rollin's own words, his 'most accomplished film' and while the man would make more interesting and often more accessible movies later in his career, it's hard to argue with him. Those who appreciate Rollin's truly unique style will find much to love about this movie, his third feature length production, as it really typifies what he's become best known for over the years.
The story follows a young couple, Antoine (Jean-Marie Durand) and Isla (Sandra Julien of I Am Frigid… Why?), who have just been wed. They're off on their honeymoon and she insists that they stop off at a decrepit old castle so that she can visit her two cousins who she hasn't seen since she was a young girl. When they arrive, one of the locals tells Antoine that his wife's cousins are dead. She's distraught by the news but they opt to spend the night in the castle anyway and thanks to the unusual hospitality of the two female servants (Marie-Pierre Castel and Kuelan Herce) they're allowed to use the facilities as they see fit.
Later that night, Isla is taken by a woman named Isolde (Dominique of Requiem For A Vampire) who emerges out of a creepy old clock to cast her otherworldly spell. Once this happens, things begin to get increasingly stranger until it turns out that Isla's cousins aren't quite as deceased as she was lead to believe. She and Antoine learn this the hard way when the two men (Jacques Robiolles and Michel Delahaye) show up and insist on having dinner with the couple. The more Isla interacts with her cousins and their servants, the more odd her behavior becomes until she no longer wants to go out during daylight, claiming that the light hurts her eyes. Antoine knows that something is up, as does Isabelle (Nicole Nancel), a woman who was once in love with both of Isla's cousins, but figuring out just what exactly is happening is going to prove to be far more difficult than Antoine could ever imagine.
Rollin's style would mature and he'd make more polished films than this, but Shiver Of The Vampires is really a superb example of his aesthetic and of the elements that would go on to become so associated with his work. It's also interesting to note that the finale, like many important scenes from his filmography, plays out on a beach. The film's narrative is an interesting blend of surrealist nonsense and standard horror movie trappings, which when combined, result in a truly unusual story that seems to operate very much on its own plane. While the creepy gothic castles that much of the film takes place in are a standard enough location to place a horror movie, having an antagonist emerge from a clock is certainly a rather odd way to introduce a character, made all the more unusual when we learn who this character really is and what she's after in the first place. There are a few kinky set pieces here that artfully blend the sex and violence that later films like Living Dead Girl would take to the next level, such as the death by spiky bra scene and a nasty little rape. Lesbian vampirism is, of course, a big deal in the film and that remains what the director is best known for despite doing plenty of work outside of that sub-genre.
What makes the movie work, outside of the concept and the direction, is the visual aspect of the film. If you put too much thought into the movie, it becomes too cluttered and too nonsensical to work. It's easy to find yourself wondering aloud about the logic of the film, like why if this old castle has been inhabited for so long is there so much graffiti evident on the walls or why does Antoine stop to put on his fancy sheer scarf before reaching for his pistol? Shiver Of The Vampires is a movie that works more as a treat for the eyes and the soul, rather than the brain. There doesn't appear to be a deeper meaning to any of it, and it might seem that things happen in the film for no reason. Everything feels like a strange dream and on that level it works really well. This dream-like atmosphere is further enhanced by the use of some unusual primary lighting effects, the kind that Italian directors like Bava and Argento have also used to great effect. While many of Rollin's movies are quite colorful, Shiver Of The Vampires differs in the way that he uses the color to bath the locations in red. It's a nice touch that sets the gothic castle apart from other horror movies that make use of similar settings. It's a much brighter film than many of his other works.
As far as the cast is concerned, Julien and Durand are decent enough in the lead roles. Castel and Herce are quite mesmerizing, spending most of the film in quite revealing attire and looking perpetually stoned, in their own world. The most unusual performances in the film belong to Robiolles and Delahaye who play their parts with so much flamboyant enthusiasm that one has to wonder if it's meant to be taken seriously or not. Dominique is their equal, in terms of bringing a truly odd screen presence to the movie, using her gaunt face and lithe body to do most of the acting as her part has little dialogue. Placing these performers in the odd locations and setting everything to a fuzzed out, guitar heavy soundtrack (courtesy of a French band called Acanthus) was a great move, as Rollin achieves some impressive, if admittedly very weird, results with this film.
Requiem For A Vampire:
Also well known as Virgins And Vampires and released on VHS in the U.S. by Something Weird Video under the far more exploitative Caged Virgins moniker, this earlier effort from French filmmaker Jean Rollin is high on powerful imagery, but short on linear storytelling. Basically a series of well executed dream like set pieces, 1973's Requiem For A Vampire is the story of two female thieves named Marie and Michelle (Marie-Pierre Castel and Mireille Dargent). When we first meet them they're decked out in clown garb and on the run from the local police who are keen to catch for reason explained later in the plot. When their male driver gets shot and dies, the girls end up burning their car and hiding out in a nearby French chateau (much like the character in Fascination) where they soon encounter its primary resident, the last of the vampires, and his loyal cult members. Strange imagery and gratuitous nudity ensues, followed by some reasonably well executed violence and of course, some requisite lesbian antics.
As it is with many of Rollin's films, there isn't a whole lot of dialogue in this movie, especially the first third, and while some might be put off by that, in a strange sort of way it enhances the experience and makes it all the more surreal. Those expecting the more traditional vampire movie trappings like rampant neck biting and the like will be disappointed, as Rollin's focus here is on more macabre and erotic atmosphere than on flat out horror but there are still plenty of memorable set pieces and images to capture our imagination. While to some, scenes like the one in which an obviously phony rubber bat lands on a naked woman's crotch might be laughable, somehow it fits in with the surreal tone and unearthly vibe that Rollin manages to evoke from the rural locations and unorthodox cast.
An interesting mix between the horror films that Rollin made out of love and the sex films that he made out of financial necessity, Requiem For A Vampire aptly demonstrates his talent at filming both the horrific and the erotic. Slow moving, bizarre and at times rather ridiculous, it's an acquired taste maybe, but definitely a unique and original work of horror/erotica blended with that odd art-house sensibility that Rollin has used to make so many of his films. This particular film may not be the best starting point for those unfamiliar with his films, but for seasoned fans of his output, it's rich with imagery and leaves itself open for much interpretation.
Notable also is the cast which Rollin assembled for this particular picture. The two female thieves were originally intended to be played by Marie-Pierre Castel and her twin sister Catharine Castel but Catharine had to back out when she got pregnant, and Mireille Dargent was cast in her place. This doesn't hurt the film in the least as Mireille turns out to be just as doe eyed and fascinating to watch as Catharine Castel was when Rollin used the two sisters in The Nude Vampire three years earlier. The ladies wander through the film in an almost trance like state, stopping for a brief Sapphic rendezvous in the middle of the castle when they come across an empty bed. When they're later captured by the vampires and taken into their coven, eventually tortured and raped in the basement dungeon, they respond in kind and act out accordingly but for the most part, there's a dreamlike playfulness to their work here that fits in really well with everything else that is going on visually and tonally.
As a narrative piece, Requiem For A Vampire falls pretty flat on its face, but those accustomed to Rollin's unique style will definitely still enjoy the film on a purely visual level, it simply looks beautiful. Shot almost entirely in the French countryside the movie makes great use of the old castle where most of the action is staged and also does a great job capturing some interesting imagery in an old cemetery. Rollin always does a good job behind the camera and while not all of his films make a lot of sense, they're always dependably well shot with excellent cinematography and moody atmospheric locations. Requiem For A Vampire illustrates these characteristics of his work very well and for that reason, comes recommended.
The Rape Of The Vampire looks excellent on Blu-ray in AVC encoded 1080p high definition. Presented in 1.66.1 widescreen and mastered from the original 35mm negative, there are some minor specks here and there but no seriously distracting print damage. As seems to be the norm with these Kino releases of Redemption titles, there hasn't been a ton of cleanup work here so expect to see very minor print damage throughout, mainly just specks here and there. The elements used were obviously in great shape, however, and the healthy bit rate ensures that this movie looks excellent in high definition. The contrast looks very strong here, despite a few spots where the original photography lets the whites get a bit hot, while black levels are strong throughout. Detail is vastly improved from previous standard definition presentations as is texture and skin tones. The image is consistently sharp and shows good shadow detail in the darker scenes. All in all, this oddball little low budget oddity looks excellent on Blu-ray.
The Nude Vampire is also presented in an AVC encoded transfer in its original 1.66.1 widescreen aspect ratio in 1080p high definition. Once again, there's a pretty substantial upgrade in image quality here when compared to the previous DVD releases. The original R1 Image/Redemption disc was flat and bland looking and this high definition presentation trumps it in every way possible. Detail is much stronger, not just in close up shots where you expect it but in medium and long distance shots as well. You'll notice the dripping wax on candles, you'll notice the pilling of certain fabrics and textures and you'll notice the little crags and crumbles of various rock formations along the beach. Skin tones look nice and natural, there's no evidence of noise reduction or overzealous edge enhancement and what we wind up with is a nice, clean, colorful presentation of the movie that still manages to preserve that film like quality that's so important. There are shots that were originally out of focus and shots where the lighting wasn't quite right. This stems back to the original photography and so is inherent in this new transfer. Rollin's fans should be very impressed with this restoration.
Kino/Redemption presents Shiver Of The Vampires in an AVC encoded 1.66.1 widescreen 1080p high definition transfer mastered from the original 35mm negative. Despite some minor specks here and there, the image is a strong one, showing nice depth and strong detail throughout, though again, as it's been with some of the other Rollin Blu-ray's, some scenes that have always looked soft still do. For an older low budget film, however, the movie looks very good here. You can make out the texture in the negligees worn by the female characters in the film and you can almost smell the mold in the dank confines of the castle. The makeup on the faces of the male characters towards the end has never looked more bizarre than it does here, and the red lighting used throughout the movie has a very lush feel to it. Black levels are strong and if shadow detail isn't always completely perfect, it's very close. Once again, fans of Rollin's films should be very happy with Kino's efforts on this one, it too looks very good.
Last but not least, Requiem For A Vampire also looks quite good on Blu-ray in AVC encoded 1080p high definition. Presented in 1.66.1 widescreen and mastered from the original 35mm negative, there are some minor specks here and there but no seriously distracting print damage. Grain is present, as it should be, but never overpowering and the increase in detail over previous DVD issues of the film is quite impressive. Colors look excellent, you'll notice it right away when you see the two girls in their clown suits as Marie's sequin covered outfit really looks quite good but this carries throughout the movie. Black levels are generally nice and strong, and there are no issues with compression artifacts, edge enhancement or noise reduction.
The only audio options for the The Rape Of The Vampire and Shiver Of The Vampires are French language LPCM 2.0 Mono tracks with optional subtitles provided in English only. These tracks would seem to be about as good as it's going to get, as parts of the movie earlier were obviously dubbed in post and the films were made with low budgets. There's a little bit of hiss here and there but it's not all that distracting unless you're overly susceptible to such things. The dialogue is generally pretty clean and clear and there are no issues with the levels, which are properly balanced throughout. The scores sounds quite good, they're very effective pieces of work and enhances the films a lot, and the subtitles are easy to read and free of any typographical errors.
The Nude Vampire and Requiem For A Vampire both get audio options provided in both the original (and preferable) French language and by way of dubbed English tracks, both in LPCM 2.0 Mono and with optional subtitles available in English only. The audio is a bit more problematic than the video for The Nude Vampire in that there are occasional pops and level fluctuations in addition to some clarity issues but again, this is a noticeable improvement over that past DVD issue of the film. The movie, like the others in the set, was made on a low budget and on a quick schedule and as such, some defects will pop up but for the most part the dialogue is pretty easy to understand and the score sounds fantastic (and for those who haven't seen this film before, the score plays a very important part in the atmosphere that the movie manages to create so effectively). Requiem is noticeably cleaner sounding.
The extras for The Rape Of The Vampire start off with a great documentary entitled Fragments Of Pavement Under The Sand which is basically comprised of interviews with the late Jean Rollin as well as with Jean-Denis Bonan and Jean-Pierre Bouyxou. More than just a retrospective look back at the director's debut feature, this also gives us some insight into what the French film market was like at the time, specifically the market for horror films. Of course, the documentary also covers how the film came to be and how it was originally intended to pad out a film that producer was importing and wanted more footage for, but additionally we learn about the director's intentions with the picture and what it was like to be involved with the film. This is a very well put together piece and quite a valuable addition to the disc. It runs almost twenty-four minutes in length and is presented in HD. This is complimented nicely by two standard definition interviews carried over from the European Encore Filmed Entertainment DVD release from a few years ago, the first of which is a four and a half minute interview with Rollin who talks about films that influenced him as well as his obsession with vampire, the second of which is a nine minute piece with Jean-Loup Philippe who talks about his experiences working with Rollin as an actor in a few of his films.
Also included on this disc is Jean Rollin's very first short film, Les Amoures Jeunes, which clocks in at just over ten minutes in French with English subtitles and is presented in a decent if slightly beaten AVC encoded 1.78.1 anamorphic widescreen 1080p high definition transfer. The film takes place on the very same beach that appears in the feature and which Rollin returned to so often throughout his filmography. Shot in 1958, this one is pretty odd but it sure looks fantastic from a technical perspective with so much emphasis put on capturing the natural beauty of the area. Sadly, there's no Rollin commentary provided for this short, which is a shame as it would have been nice to hear his thoughts and memories on this first project of his. Also included is a second short, Les Pays Loins, which runs just under sixteen-minutes in length and was directed by Rollin way back when in 1965. It's also presented here in a black and white 1.78.1 AVC encoded 1080p high definition widescreen transfer and it tells the story of a man and a woman who find themselves in an alternate world. No one speaks their language, and they're obviously scared, wondering how they got here and how to get away. It isn't difficult to pick out some of the 'Rollin touches' in the movie such as the decaying architecture, the gothic churches, and the strange sexual inferences, as you definitely get that sense of emptiness and that other worldly look that has made his work so fascinating for so many of us. Watch for a truly odd scene with a band of black musicians about half way through. It seems out of place but then again, maybe it's supposed to. The film is also presented in its original French language with English subtitles.
Rounding out the extras for the feature are a two minute alternate scene (a more subdued version of what happens in the operating room), a trailer for the feature and trailers for the other Rollin films that Kino/Redemption have offered up on Blu-ray, all in high definition. Rollin himself provides a quick three minute HD video introduction for the film and menus and chapter selection are also included.
Extras for The Nude Vampire start off with a two minute introduction from the late Jean Rollin (with a strange man in a white mask sitting near him), who talks too briefly about his intentions with this film and his motive for making it. More interesting and more substantial is a twenty minute interview with Rollin conducted by Daniel Gouyette who was Rollin's assistant during the later part of his career and who taped quite a few of their conversations. It's from these tapes that this featurette has been created which covers not only this film but Rollin's career in general, the themes and ideas that populate so many of his movies, his interest in atmosphere and surrealism and of course his appreciation of the lesbian vampire overtones that he's always been known for. It's a good discussion and Rollin comes across as very comfortable here. Natalie Perrey, who worked with Rollin for decades and on many of his films, also appears here for a quick four minute interview in which she talks about working with her friend on the film, the small part she played in the movie, and what it was like helping out on this project.
Rounding out the extras on the disc are HD trailers for the feature and for The Shiver Of The Vampires, Fascination, The Iron Rose and Lips Of Blood. Menus and chapter stops are also included.
Extras for Shiver start off with a quick introduction from Rollin, who speaks for about two minutes about this picture and its place in his filmography. More substantial is a forty-one minute interview with the director conducted by film scholar Dr. Patricia McCormack. Rollin is quite jovial here, speaking in English about his tendency to use lesbian vampires in his films, his interest in the subject and other recurring themes in his film. McCormack keep shim talking and treats his films with the respect they deserve and he feeds off of this rather nicely resulting in a pretty interesting discussion of the man and his career.
Rounding out the extras on the disc are HD trailers for the feature and for The Shiver Of The Vampires, (English and French versions) The Nude Vampire, The Iron rose and Lips Of Blood. Menus and chapter stops are included again.
There were a few interesting supplements that originally appeared on the Encore PAL format special edition release, but sadly, they haven't been ported over to this Blu-ray. Those with the Encore release will want to hold onto it for the extras exclusive to that set including an audio commentary with the late director, three alternate scenes, a still gallery and a different set of liner notes. Additionally, the old Redemption release included a short film entitled Les Amoures Janunes on it which has not been carried over to this Blu-ray release and a different twenty-minute interview with Rollin, also absent from this disc.
The most substantial extra on the Requiem disc is a seventeen minute featurette entitled The Shiver Of A Requiem which is a documentary that features interviews with the late Natalie Perrey and Jean-Noel Delamarre. Both interviewees come off as quite grateful to have worked with Rollin on the film, discussing with some noticeable affection the low budget shoot and how Rollin liked to surround himself with people he knew while working on this and other pictures. There's some discussion of the female leads, as well as the locations and a good bit of time talking about Rollin's directorial efforts on the picture. It's quite a good featurette and one certainly worth watching.
Also included here is a ten minute interview with actress Louise Dhour where the actresses discusses her role in this film (her first), how she got the part, what it was like to work with Jean Rollin and the benefits of a night's worth of free champagne! Her memories are sharp, and pretty much all pleasant ones, and it's refreshing to see her discuss her love of 'fantastic films' and show some sincere appreciation for the films that she appeared in during her career. The interview, which previously appeared on the Encore special edition release of the film in Europe, is in French with optional English subtitles. Included on that Encore release but not carried over to this Blu-ray disc is a collection of three alternate scenes which are essentially just clothed versions of some of the nude scenes that appear in the feature version of the film.
Rounding out the extras are English and French theatrical trailers as well as the alternate Caged Virgins trailer that Box Office International created for the movie and trailers for the other seven Rollin films that Kino/Redemption have offered up on Blu-ray so far. Rollin himself provides a quick video introduction for the film and menus and chapter stops are also included.
Each of the four discs in the set also comes with a color booklet of liner notes from Video Watchdog founder and essayist Tim Lucas that offer up some critical analysis and background information on the movies. Well worth reading.
The Cinema Of Jean Rollin: The Vampire Collection is just a repackaging of four previously released discs from Kino/Redemptions line showcasing the late director's work, so if you have those past releases, you don't need this set. However, for those looking to get into his films or those who for whatever reason didn't get these releases the first time around, this is a great set. Rollin's films are certainly not for everyone and they often wear their low budgets plainly on their sleeves, but for those with a taste for surrealism and eroticism mixed into their horror, his films are a treasure trove of fantastic imagery and strange, unique storytelling. The discs themselves offer very nice improvements over their previous DVD releases and contain quite a nice collection of supplemental materials as well. Highly recommended.

The conventional wisdom around the league right now is that teams looking for quarterback help in the offseason aren't going to have much to choose from.
There's no standouts coming out of college, no one's sure what the 49ers and Seahawks will do with Alex Smith and Matt Flynn and there aren't any clearcut starters headed for free agency other than Joe Flacco. Flacco's not getting there, of course, which means that lesser names like Matt Moore could be in high demand due to the dearth of supply on the market.
Despite that, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Ryan Tannehill and others from the Dolphins have been reaching out to Moore to try to sell him on the idea of staying in Miami. Getting Moore to pass up at least a shot at a starting job will be no easy task, especially if Jackson is right about one of the teams that might have Moore on the radar.
Jackson writes that Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner is a "big fan" of Moore, a theory that has some support in the Chargers' 2011 pursuit of Moore before he wound up signing with the Dolphins. That scenario is very similar to this one as Moore passed on a chance to back up Philip Rivers so he could play behind a far less secure starter in Chad Henne.
With Brandon Weeden's starting status anything but secure in Cleveland, Moore could wind up trying the same route he took last time he was on the open market.

Book of Saints – Dominic Guzman
(Saint) (August 4) (13th century) The mother of Saint Dominic, a scion of the illustrious Guzman family, dreamt, before his birth (A.D. 1170) at Calaruega (Old Castile), that she had given life to a dog bearing a lighted torch which was setting the world on fire. Professed as a Canon Regular in the Reformed Chapter of Osma, he helped many Spanish Bishops to restore Ecclesiastical discipline among their clergy. In attendance on his own Bishop, he stayed two years at Montpellier in the South of France, where the immoral heresy of the Albigenses was then at its height and causing tremendous havoc. They were indefatigable in preaching against it, a mission which Saint Dominic continued for eight more years, after the return of the Bishop to Osma. Many were the miracles he worked; numberless the souls he converted; far-reaching the fruit of the Rosary devotion he established. In the end he began his great Order of Preaching Friars, which with that of the Friars Minor, founded by his friend and contemporary, Saint Francis of Assisi, was the chief means employed by Almighty God to renew the fervour of Christians during the later Middle Ages. Popes Innocent III (A.D. 1215) and Honorius III approved and confirmed the new Institutes. To Saint Dominic was allotted in Rome the ancient church of Saint Sixtus for his first convent. He afterwards ceded it to his nuns, the Friars passing to Saint Sabina's on the Aventine. The Saint next established them at Saint James's in Paris, returning to Italy in A.D. 1218, and fixing his residence in Bologna, where he died (A.D. 1121), and where his relics are enslirined. In his lifetime he sent missionary Friars to Morocco, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, England (where the convents of Canterbury, London and Oxford date from then) and other countries. Chief among the miracles bearing witness to his sanctity are his having raised more than once the dead to life.

Thank goodness we saw it HD style last week at the rockaway mall with all the closeups as they sang and acted-very hard to see the performers from center balcony Row D live tonight--normally good seats-the ending was very powerful. As before at the HD very good singing tonight. Len

Roughly a dozen activists and union members gathered outside the Burbank office of Rep. Adam Schiff's Wednesday, urging the congressman to protect federal health insurance programs, while blasting what they called the nation's "rigged tax system."
Local constituents joined event-organizer American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations to protest cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, as well as tax loopholes for wealthy Americans.
"We need to have everybody pay their fair share of taxes — that includes the wealthy and corporations," said Lenny Potash, an Atwater Village resident and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union retiree.
While Potash is financially stable — he lives off Social Security and his pension — he said he worries for his four children.
"My children are not in a very secure position either with their work or their retirement, and that concerns me," he said.
In a statement, Schiff called Social Security "the most successful anti-poverty program in American history" and vowed to work to protect it, in addition to Medicare.
"We must not balance the budget on the backs of our seniors," he said.
Still, Atwater Village resident Suzanne Winters called Schiff's efforts thus far "extremely weak."
"I don't believe he has a history of really standing up for working people," she said.
For two decades of working as a legal secretary, Winters, 68, said she didn't have health insurance. But throughout her career, she suffered from mood swings and suicidal thoughts, which ultimately made her "unemployable," she said.
When she was let go, she found out she was bipolar. But medication costs her hundreds of dollars a month.
So three years ago when she qualified for federal health insurance programs, she said her life turned around.
"I felt I finally had a chance," she said, in speaking out Wednesday against cuts to the programs.

Adding your own services to Turbine is an easy task. Simply make your class extend org.apache.turbine.services.TurbineBaseService. This is necessary so that the Turbine Service Broker can start up your service.
To make it known to the Turbine itself, you must configure it in the TurbineResources.properties like this:
services.MyServiceName.classname = full.class.name.of.your.service
and you're set, Turbine will now initialize the service if it is requested by an application. Please be aware that your service is not initialized right at Startup. This is called lazy init. If you need your Service to start up right away, you must add another property to the TurbineResources.properties:
services.MyServiceName.earlyInit = true
If you look at the examples of the simple services like servlet/TurbineServletService you'll get on speed pretty fast.
public void init() throws InitializationException { }
It is good style, that if you build the FooService, to provide your.package.FooService.java with an Interface definition of your service which extends org.apache.turbine.services.Service It should contain a constant SERVICE_NAME with the Turbine visible name of your service like this:
package your.package; import org.apache.turbine.services.Service; public interface FooService extends Service { /** * The service identifier */ public String SERVICE_NAME = "FooService"; [...] }
your.package.TurbineFooService.java which extends the org.apache.turbine.services.TurbineBaseService class and implements your.package.FooService and provides the actual code:
package your.package; import org.apache.turbine.services.TurbineBaseService; public class TurbineFooService extends TurbineBaseService implements FooService { /** * Service logic here */ [...] }
your.package.TurbineFoo.java which contains static facade methods for your service along the following lines:
import org.apache.turbine.services.TurbineServices; public class TurbineFoo { protected static FooService getService() { return (FooService) TurbineServices .getInstance().getService(FooService.SERVICE_NAME); } [...] public static void fooMethod1() { getService().fooMethod1(); } public static int fooMethod2(int bar) { return getService().fooMethod2(bar); } [...] }
to give users of your service the ability to simply write:
in their code and not to care about which actual Implementation of FooService is running.
init() and shutdown() applies to Turbine 2.1/2.2 This might change with the lifecycle interfaces in a later release.

Everything you must know to prepare for the big day
From the moment you discover you're pregnant, decisions await you. Fortunately, many of them, such as what color to paint the nursery and whether to use cloth or disposable diapers, are not life-changing (though they may seem so at the time). But the big-picture decisions—questions like where your baby will be born, who will deliver her and whether or not you should schedule the birth—can have a profound impact on your pregnancy and delivery, often making the difference between a joyous experience you can't wait to repeat and a traumatic one you'd rather forget. >> We're here to help, with information to guide you through these and other choices you may be facing, such as whether to get an epidural or to try for a vaginal birth after having a Cesarean. We also provide lots of immediately practical advice, including surprising tips for an easier labor. >> Finally, though no two labor and delivery experiences are exactly alike, our outline of what happens in the final hours of pregnancy can help you prepare for the most exciting day of your life: your baby's birth day. Wherever you are in your journey toward motherhood, be sure to keep this guide handy.
The hospital
If you have pregnancy complications or risk factors for a C-section, prefer an obstetrician to a midwife or want to receive labor-induction and/or pain medication, a hospital is for you. If your insurance lets you choose, here's a checklist of what to look for. Keep in mind that very few hospitals meet all these criteria, some of which are, obviously, more important than others.
> An obstetrician is on the premises at all times.
> The hospital's maternal mortality rate is at or below .01 percent.
> There is a neonatal intensive-care unit of at least level II (level III is best).
> The primary C-section rate is at or below the national average of 26 percent.
> The hospital does not limit when you can receive pain medication.
> The hospital has a lactation consultant on staff.
> Midwives are allowed to deliver babies, and doula services are permitted.
> The same nurses care for you throughout labor, delivery and recovery.
> During labor, women are allowed to walk around and to use private bathtubs or showers. > Women can give birth in rooms specifically geared for labor/delivery, recovery and postpartum.
> There is a place for the father to sleep overnight.
> The baby can stay in your room with you.
> Friends and relatives besides the father are allowed to attend the birth.
> The hospital has a tolerant visitor policy, especially regarding siblings.
> Water births, videotaping of births and massage services are permitted and/or available.
> Classes on infant care, breastfeeding, sibling relationships and the like are offered.
The birth center
Freestanding (nonhospital) birth centers offer women with uncomplicated pregnancies who want a natural delivery a less high-tech, more homelike alternative to hospitals. Babies generally are delivered by midwives, and women are allowed to give birth in the position that's most comfortable for them. "Birth centers don't offer epidurals or [the labor-induction drug] Pitocin, and they only take low-risk patients," says Kate Bauer, executive director of the National Association of Childbearing Centers, based in Perkiomenville, Pa. "What they do offer is time- and education-intensive care from the prenatal period through six weeks postpartum." According to a recent study in the American Journal of Public Health, most women who plan to give birth at freestanding birth centers end up succeeding, with fewer C-sections and medical interventions. While about 15 percent of women are transferred to a hospital, this is usually because of failure to progress, Bauer says. "Most of these women go on to give birth vaginally," she adds. Bauer suggests looking for a birth center with the following features:
> The staff are advocates for natural childbirth and breastfeeding.
> An extensive support system is in place.
> The baby can stay in the room with you.
> The center is accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers. Today, an increasing number of hospitals have on-site birth centers. In these homey, comfortable rooms, your baby will stay with you and, because it will be assumed that you are breastfeeding, won't be given a bottle. "Some hospitals have adopted certain of the philosophies of our freestanding birth centers, and we think that's great," Bauer says.
At home
Most women who want a home birth believe that having a baby is a natural process that requires little medical intervention. Many also want more control and attention than they might get in a hospital or even a birth center. Here's what you should know: > Home birth isn't for everyone. Conditions that make a hospital the safer choice include high blood pressure, diabetes, severe anemia, preterm labor, unexplained vaginal bleeding, carrying twins, a pregnancy that goes beyond 42 weeks or a baby in the breech position.
> European studies show that for a healthy woman with a low-risk pregnancy, home birth is a safe option. However, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists main Home-birth resources
>> The International Association of Parents and Professionals for Safe Alternatives in Childbirth, www.napsac.org.
>> The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth, by Henci Goer (Perigee, 1999).
>> A Good Birth, a Safe Birth: Choosing and Having the Childbirth Experience You Want, by Diana Korte and Roberta M. Scaer (Harvard Common Press, 1992).
6 ways to increase your chances of a natural birth
Though statistics are scarce, some approaches are known, at least anecdotally, to increase the odds of having an unmedicated delivery:
1. Use a Midwife
Studies show that using a properly trained, licensed midwife rather than an obstetrician can greatly increase your chances. The extra attention pays off in less anxiety and pain. For referrals: American College of Nurse-Midwives, 202-728-9860, www.midwife.org.
2. Hire a Doula
A doula is a woman trained to provide mothers and their families with encouragement and information through late pregnancy, labor and delivery. A review of six studies of more than 2,000 women found that with the continuous support of a trained doula, epidural use decreased by 60 percent, C-sections by 50 percent, oxytocin use for labor induction by 40 percent, forceps use by 40 percent, and average length of labor by 25 percent. For referrals: Association of Labor Assistants & Childbirth Educators (ALACE), 617-441-2500, www.alace.org; Doulas of North America (DONA), 801-756-7331, www.dona.org; International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA), 800-624-4934, www.icea.org.
3. Practice self-hypnosis
"For a gentle, natural birth, the muscles of your uterus need oxygen-carrying blood," says Marie Mongan, founder of HypnoBirthing (603-798-3286; www.hypno birthing.com), a program that teaches pregnant women self-hypnosis techniques for use during labor. "Fear directs blood away from the uterus, and the result is more pain." The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis reports that for about two-thirds of women who use hypnosis, it is their sole analgesic during labor.
4. Learn perineal massage
By relaxing and stretching the area around the vagina during pregnancy, perineal massage may safely help speed delivery, lessening the need for painkillers. Do this for six to eight minutes daily, beginning no earlier than 34 weeks into your pregnancy. (For information: Prenatal Perineal Massage brochure, ICEA, 800-624-4934, www.icea.org.)
5. Take childbirth ed
Several courses focus on unmedicated deliveries. Enroll as early as possible; classes fill up fast, and some, such as Bradley (see pg. 84), run 12 weeks, so you need to start them in your second trimester.
6. Get into warm water
Doing so can naturally facilitate labor and ease pain. You can climb into a tub for a few hours, then get out to have the baby. Or you may decide on a water birth. For information, visit www.waterbirth.org.
Whatever happened to birth plans? Yesterday's pages of written instructions are giving way to wish lists that outline what expectant moms would like to happen during labor. Here are a few other areas in which women are becoming more flexible about giving birth: Then No fetal monitoring No IV for drugs No epidural Now Sporadic fetal monitoring Heparin lock (a needle is inserted in case you need an IV, but you aren't attached to anything) "Going with the flow" and seeing how you feel — M.J.H.
HOW would you like to give birth? Planning can help you have the kind of childbirth experience you want. Here are some of the decisions and dilemmas women wrestle with most, and information to put them in perspective.
Scheduling your delivery More women are choosing their baby's birth date for a variety of reasons, including fear of the unexpected, work considerations and vacation schedules for school-age children. But scheduling an induction or a first-time C-section isn't without risk—or debate.
Inducing labor with drugs is one way to help ensure that childbirth occurs in a specific 24- to 48-hour period. In 2001, nearly 21 percent of babies were delivered after labor was induced—up from 8 percent in 1989, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). This does not mean that inductions are always safe. According to Michael F. Greene, M.D., director of maternal-fetal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, induction increases the chances of a C-section by 50 percent and should only be done when risks of continuing the pregnancy, such as having high blood pressure or being two weeks overdue, exceed the risk posed by inducing labor. "ACOG is against inducing labor just because you want the baby to be a Sagittarius," Greene says.
Induction isn't always successful, either. Hormones such as oxytocin are released when labor starts naturally. But administering Pitocin, the synthetic version of oxytocin, does not guarantee that labor will necessarily begin or progress easily. In fact, if Pitocin is given too aggressively, extremely frequent and intense contractions can result.
Some doctors say that women who are determined to schedule labor are better off planning C-sections instead of inductions. This is because a scheduled Cesarean often is easier on the body than a long, induced labor that may end with an emergency C-section anyway.
Having an episiotomy An episiotomy is an incision that widens the vaginal opening so the baby's head can pass through more easily. For decades, obstetricians routinely performed episiotomies, believing an incision would prevent serious tears and pelvic-floor muscle damage, which can contribute to incontinence. But new research has found that nearly 8 percent of women who have episiotomies develop serious tears, compared with 3.6 percent of women who don't have them, and that the procedure may increase, not reduce, damage to pelvic-floor muscles. ACOG denounced routine episiotomies in 2000, but some doctors continue to perform them needlessly. An episiotomy is warranted when a forceps or vacuum-suction delivery is needed, when a baby is very large or needs to be delivered quickly. Ask your doctor what her episiotomy rate is and what factors prompt her to perform them. — laurie tarkan
Trying for a VBAC In the early '90s, when many women learned they could safely deliver vaginally after a prior C-section, the rate of VBACs (vaginal birth after C-section) rose steadily—by 50 percent—until 1997. Then came reports that VBAC increased the risk of uterine rupture, an emergency situation that's potentially deadly for both mother and baby. The VBAC rate plummeted from 28.3 percent in 1996 to just 12.7 percent in 2002. Research later reported in The New England Journal of Medicine found that the risk for uterine rupture was largely linked to certain induction drugs. Today, many doctors say VBAC is safe, as long as labor is not induced. But the most important precaution is choosing a hospital that is prepared to handle VBAC emergencies. Before attempting a VBAC, consult with your doctor; she'll take into consideration why you had the prior C-section, the type of incision you had, whether you had a fever afterward and other factors. — L.R.S. Dealing with labor anxiety While just about every pregnant woman feels some anxiety about labor and delivery, 6 percent to 10 percent suffer intense fear that manifests itself as nightmares, physical complaints, difficulty concentrating or other symptoms. If left unchecked, fear and its associated stress can contribute to both early and late deliveries, smaller babies and a higher risk for emergency C-section. What's more, frightened women may actually experience more discomfort during childbirth, says Alice D. Domar, Ph.D., a Harvard Medical School expert on stress. Prenatal distress also is associated with postpartum depression and difficulty bonding with the baby. The good news is that there are ways to reduce your fear of childbirth. Here are six of them: 1) Track the source Certain experiences can trigger an intense fear of labor; these include past abuse or rape, miscarriage or stillbirth; guilt over an abortion; a previous difficult delivery; and exposure to traumatic labor stories. 2) Don't wait Deal with your fears at the beginning, not the end, of your pregnancy, recommends Heather Kleber, a certified childbirth educator and doula in San Antonio. 3) Consider therapy In one study, women with an intense fear of labor who underwent cognitive (talk) therapy had shorter labors and fewer unnecessary C-sections than those who didn't. 4) Tell your doctor Just sharing your fears may help, and your physician may have ideas about how to reduce your anxiety. Also discuss your feelings about medication, laboring positions, episiotomy and similar issues during a prenatal visit 5) Shut out negative stories Don't watch scary TV shows about childbirth, read horror stories or listen to friends recount the gory details of their labors.
6) Be open-minded about drugs Knowing that effective means of pain relief are available can help lessen your anxiety about labor. — alice lesch kelly
WHAT happens during delivery? Often, the reality of childbirth only slightly resembles movie or TV depictions. Every labor is different, but here's a typical scenario.
The stages of labor Early labor (typically 5–8 hours long) When contractions first begin, your cervix is effacing (thinning) and dilating (opening from to 3 centimeters). On average, it opens about 1 centimeter per hour. Contractions usually are mild at first but build in strength and frequency. Once these start coming every five minutes, most doctors will tell you to go to the hospital. Generally, the nurses will hook you up to an IV to prevent dehydration and to an electronic monitor that measures your baby's heart rate and your uterine contractions. Your doctor or midwife will do an internal exam to check your progress. You may be offered a mild pain reliever such as Demerol or Stadol; and if you want an epidural, it may be started now (though they are typically started later). Changing positions also can help relieve pain. "I moved around the room a bunch," says Samantha Denny, 33, of Jackson Hole, Wyo. "I used the hot tub, which really helped my body relax, particularly between contractions. The birthing ball was also very effective. I wasn't really in bed at all until I had to push, except for the few times when they had to monitor me." Active labor (2–8 hours) Your cervix will dilate from 4 to 7 centimeters. Contractions will be stronger, longer and closer together, and the breathing and relaxation exercises you learned in childbirth class will come in handy. Transition (15 minutes to 1 hour or longer) Your cervix will dilate from 8 to 10 centimeters. "This is the really intense phase of labor," says Joan Edwards, M.N., C.N.S., assistant clinical professor at Texas Women's University in Houston. "It's when women say things like, 'I can't do this anymore!'" Swearing up a storm or becoming angry at your husband (and vowing never to have sex again) are perfectly normal during this time.
Pushing (a few minutes to 3 hours) When you're dilated 10 centimeters, it's time to push. You feel lots of pressure in the rectal area, as if you're trying to pass a bowel movement. Pushing can be exhausting, but many women find it's a relief to start. "I thought the pushing part was pretty easy, especially since the epidural had just kicked in," says Courtenay Manes Labson, 37, of Chevy Chase, Md. "It felt productive, whereas labor prior to that point had felt more reactive. I also think being in good shape physically made pushing more doable." As the baby's head first begins to show, your doctor may perform an episiotomy if she feels it's necessary.
After the baby is born Within 30 minutes you'll be asked to push again to deliver the placenta, which usually comes out easily. If you've had an episiotomy, your doctor will then stitch you up. And you'll get to hold your baby for the first time. - A.L.K.
If you have a C-section Whether or not your C-section is planned, here's roughly what you can expect. > A nurse will start an IV containing saline solution and, in some cases, an antibiotic. Unless the C-section is an emergency, the anesthesiologist will administer an epidural so you won't feel anything below your belly button (though you'll be fully awake). Otherwise, you may receive a general anesthetic. > Your doctor will drape the area around your belly, then cut through the skin, muscles, uterus and amniotic sac. "You feel almost nothing—maybe a little pressure and some tugging," says Gloria Bachmann, M.D., chief of the OB-GYN Service at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. Minutes later, the doctor will lift the baby out and bring her up to your head for you to see. Then the doctor will remove the placenta and stitch you up. The entire process will take 40 to 90 minutes. > In the recovery room, nurses will monitor your blood pressure, breathing and heart rate. (You might become nauseated and start vomiting at this point; this is normal.) After an hour or so, you'll be moved to your room and reunited with your baby, and you'll probably be able to breastfeed at this time. > In the following days and perhaps weeks, you'll experience gas pains and pain at the incision site. Like women who deliver vaginally, you'll need to wear pads for several weeks to absorb the blood-tinged fluid that will flow from your uterus as you recuperate. — a.l.k.
What is fetal distress? Though it has no universally agreed-upon medical definition, fetal distress is generally characterized as a slowing ("deceleration") of the baby's heart rate at times during labor when it shouldn't, or a deep slowing for longer periods than most doctors are comfortable with. In many cases, doctors have plenty of time to consider their options, which include vacuum extraction, delivery with forceps or simply untangling the umbilical cord from around the baby's neck. But when fetal distress occurs suddenly—the uterus is rupturing, for example—doctors have only minutes to get the baby out to avoid possible brain damage or even death. When there's any likelihood of this, doctors tend to err on the side of caution and perform a C-section. Sometimes babies who are stressed in utero pass their first stool (meconium) while still in the birth canal. If it's inhaled, a lung infection or pneumonia can result. In such cases, the baby's mouth is suctioned as soon as the head is delivered. — L.R.S.
3 tips for an easier labor 1. Set the mood A dark, quiet environment is ideal, so ask for dim lights and minimal noise. 2. Stuff a sock Bring a tube sock with three tennis balls in it and have your partner or someone else roll them up and down your back to relieve pain. 3. Get on the ball Drape your upper body faceup over a large exercise ball to relieve back pain. Or sit on it with your legs apart to relax the pelvic area. — lu hanessian

On Nov. 2 and 3, an all-volunteer cast and crew will transform the Point Loma Masonic Lodge into a biker and trucker bar that was the scene of the second half of the film, when sexy dancers and menacing bartenders morphed into blood-starved vampires. Among the two-dozen-plus local volunteers are actors, dancers, musicians, makeup artists and crewmembers, all working to benefit Breast Cancer Angels, a group that supports women and their families undergoing cancer treatment.
"The money goes directly to help people get by in their daily life," said Sooty Hetrick, producer and director of the show.
"From Dusk Till Dawn" is a gritty tale that starts with a jailbreak and ends up in a south-of-the-border dive bar with an impressive selection of seductive dancers.
As the two fugitives share shots of tequila with a family they've taken as hostages, the scene turns surreal as the dancers reveal their inner-vampire and a bloody war begins between the dead and the undead.
There will be three performances: one on Saturday, Nov. 2, and two on Sunday, Nov. 3.
A three-course carnitas dinner will be served, with a vegan option available. Beer and cocktails will be served. All seats are reserved and those in the front will be in the thick of the action. Dressing as a biker or trucker is encouraged for people sitting in the front tables, with the outer tables labeled the "safety zone."
Limited tickets are available by visiting the SheTrick Entertainment website. The Nov. 2 show will begin at 7 p.m. and showtimes on Nov. 3 are 3 and 7 p.m.
Single tickets, including dinner, begin at $75. Reservations may also be made for entire tables. It's an
R-rated show, so only those 21 and older will be admitted. The Point Loma Masonic Lodge is located at 1711 Sunset Cliffs Blvd.
