Current Research:
My research largely involves characterization and quantifying the impacts of air pollution, such as "acid rain," mercury, and elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide and associated effects of changing climate on the structure and function of ecosystems. Much of my work has focused on forest and associated aquatic resources, including studies at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, NH and the Huntington Forest in the Adirondacks, NY. I also examine effects on wetlands, the Great Lakes, urban ecosystems, coastal waters and the open ocean. Over the past thirty years, I have advanced new analytical techniques, established and maintained long-term measurements and experiments, and developed a series of research and predictive models that simulate transformations of major chemical elements in forest vegetation, soil and surface waters in response to air pollution, climate and land disturbance. Moving beyond theory, I am interested in testing 'in situ' strategies to reverse the damaging effects of acid rain and mercury contamination and eutrophication. Current research includes using models, field experiments and measurements to examine: ecosystem effects of changing climate and acidic, nitrogen and mercury deposition; the effectiveness of "green" water infrastructure in stormwater management; and ecosystem restoration.
To advance the "broader impacts" of research, I try to provide service to society through participation in various national and international committees and panels; advising federal and state agencies; working with natural resource managers and policy makers; briefing Congress and state officials; serving as an associate editor for the journal, Biogeochemistry; and informing the media and the public on the results of research. I am particularly interested in multidisciplinary activities, and synthesis and translation of scientific and engineering research. These activities inform my research. Finally, I am interested in improving and advancing science communication. I want science and engineering information to be accessible to the public and policy-makers to help guide cost-effective decisions on natural resource management.
Teaching Interests:
- Environmental chemistry
- Biogeochemistry
- Sustainability science
- Water quality modeling.
I teach undergraduate and graduate-level classes in environmental engineering, sustainable civil and environmental systems, aquatic chemistry and biogeochemistry. I have a large number of graduate students, undergraduate students and even some high school students who work in my laboratory. These students have a keen interest in research. They are encouraged to interpret their results in the context of environmental problems and issues, to interact with the research community beyond Syracuse University, present the findings of their research at professional meetings and publish in peer-reviewed journals.

A review of the NHS bursary scheme in July 2011 concluded that students on NHS funded courses will all have access to the same package of financial support from September 2012.
These arrangements will provide new students with a small non-means tested grant, a larger means tested bursary and a reduced rate non-means tested loan. Different rates of means tested bursary and loan will apply according to where a student lives in the country.
The new arrangements remove the discrepancy between funding available to students on a diploma course or a degree course.
Changes will only apply to new students who begin their training on or after the date September 2012. Existing students will remain on the current scheme.
Students on university courses in dental hygiene or dental therapy (which lead to registration with the General Dental Council) may be eligible for financial help from the NHS, while studying.
Eligible students who are accepted onto approved courses will usually have their tuition fees paid in full and may receive financial support in the form of a bursary.
All eligible students will receive a £1,000 grant each year. They will also be eligible to apply for an additional means-tested bursary of up to £4,395 per year. Students in London will qualify for more (up to £5,460)
NHS Student Bursaries provides financial support to eligible students taking approved (NHS funded) courses in dental hygiene and dental therapy.
(Note that the above arrangements relate to students commencing courses from September 2012. Eligible students starting approved NHS-funded courses in 2011 will usually have their tuition fees paid in full and are eligible for a bursary. This is means-tested for students on approved degree programmes and non-means tested for those on approved diploma of higher education programmes)
Contact the university/universities you are planning to apply to, to find out if the course you are applying to is an approved course and attracts NHS financial support.
To be eligible for financial support from the NHS, you must meet certain criteria.
Please visit the NHS Student Bursaries' website for more information including:

One woman, recently been discussed a lot in Russia, will soon eclipse in popularity Medvedev and Putin. Her name is Maria von Zarring (aka Mia Zaring or Мия Зарринг), born in Moscow, 25 years old and breast size 34K.
We found many articles written about her in Russian sites with resounding titles like "Russian Blogger: The Biggest Breasts", "Russian biggest boobs", which immediately startled us! But we are not afraid of big boobs at all – however we've seen many big boobed women in the last 13 years. Besides being very beautiful and with large natural boobs, many of you all never supposed Maria Zarring is a talented writer and blogger, even writes love poems. If you know Russian, visit her blogs: stihi.ru and livejournal.com If you don't know – at least you can see her photos.

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder
Editor's Rating & Review
How we review products
Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder Reviews
Just an okay powder.I didn't seem to notice any particularly mattifying effects from using this powder. It has an average length of wear. It's an okay powder, of average quality. The case isn't cute, but it's sturdy and holds up well. It's just OKAY. There isnt' anything really great about it, and it doesn't do what it says it'll do, but it doesn't make anything worse either. — 4 years, 6 months agoLipglossandSpandex | 521 reviews

short-term solutionI initially bought this powder in Stay Neutral to control mid-afternoon shine on my T-zone and other oily areas. Before I apply this powder, I used a blotting sheet to remove excess oil. The combination of the sheet and this powder helped to control the oily patches for some time. But I needed to touch up again when I went out in the evening. The coverage was actually good, but definitely neither ...read morelight nor sheer. It helped masking my pores. Nevertheless, I should not have re-applied too often against the Southern heat and humidity. That was my stupidity. It became a bit chalky and heavy, and my skin ended up looking a little cakey by the end of the day. But as a short-term fix, it made a difference — 4 years, 11 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

Tour Description
At times, Israel can seem like a country obsessed by spirituality. In Jerusalem, you may hear the Muslim call to prayer competing with the clanging of bells from Christian churches and the prayers of Jews before the Western Wall. In other parts of the country, you'll find yourself walking in the exact places where the events of the Bible unfolded. Everywhere you turn, you'll see reminders of the three religions - Islam, Judaism and Christianity - that have shaped this part of the world.
The Holy Land is about the size of New Jersey in the USA or Wales in the UK. It is quite a small country. The main features are a coastal plain including Haifa and Tel Aviv. Parallel to this runs a range of mountains with Jerusalem and Bethlehem, rising to about 750m or 3000 feet. This is followed by the rift of the Jordan Valley, dropping to around 400 m below sea level.
Day 1- Arrive Tel Aviv, Israel
Upon clearing customs and immigration, you are met by an iExplore Representative for transfer by private vehicle to your hotel for check-in and overnight.
Tel Aviv is a very new city compared with many others in Israel. It was founded in 1909. As befits a youngster, Tel Aviv has lots of energy and bustle with activity 24 hours a day. The city is the hub of the country's high-tech industry and its skyline is one of the most modern in the Middle East. The tallest building, the Azrieli Center, has an observation deck.
Overnight: Tel Aviv
Day 2 - Tel Aviv- Tiberias
Today there is a full-day tour en route to Tiberias. Drive north along the Mediterranean coast to Caesarea, once the capital of the Roman Province, to visit Roman and Crusader remains and the Roman Theater. Then go to Haifa on the Mediterranean Coast for a panoramic view of the port city the Bahai Gardens. On Mount Carmel visit Stella Maris and Elijah Grotto. Continue to Nazareth and see the Basilica of Annunciation and Joseph's Workshop.
Proceed to Lake Galilee for hotel check-in and overnight.
Overnight: Lake Galilee Area
Day 3 - Tiberias and the Golan Heights
Full day of sightseeing by private vehicle in and around Tiberias.
Visit the Mount of Beatitudes, site of the Sermon on the Mount; the ancient synagogue and St Peter's House at Capernaum; and the early mosaic of the Loaves and the Fishes at Tabgha. In the afternoon visit the Golan Heights a strategic crossroads for centuries. Stop at Banias also known as Caesarea Phlippi and return to Lake Galilee for overnight.
Overnight: Lake Galilee Area
Day 4 - Tiberias- Jerusalem
You are collected from your hotel this morning by your guide for a full day tour en route to Jerusalem.
Leave Galilee down the Jordan Valley visiting the Roman town of Bet Shean and the Crusader castle at Belvoir. We stop at Jericho, the oldest known city and then head to Jerusalem.
For centuries, Jerusalem has been a place where different ideas, peoples and religions run into one another, and that's a big part of what makes it such a fascinating place to visit. The collision of cultures is also part of the reason that the city has been the scene of upheaval and conquest throughout its long history.
Marvel at the fabled skyline of the Old City. Watch how sunset works its magic, creating the legendary golden city.
Hotel check-in and evening at leisure in Jerusalem.
Overnight: Jerusalem
Day 5 - Jerusalem & Bethlehem
Full day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. From Mt. of Olives have a panorama of Jerusalem and the Judean Hills. Visit the Garden of Gethsemane and the Kidron Valley, and take a walking tour in the Old City to see the Western Wall. View the Temple Mount and Dome of the Rock. Walk the Via Dolorosa and Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the bazaars, the Jewish Quarter, the Cardo and Mt Zion. See David's Tomb and view the Upper Room and Dormition Abbey.
Drive to Bethlehem* and see Rachel's Tomb and the Church of the Nativity.
Overnight: Jerusalem
Day 6 - Jerusalem & the Dead Sea
Full day tour to the Dead Sea. Drive past the Good Samaritan Inn, and along by the Dead Sea to Masada. Take the cable car up to the last stronghold of the Zealots and see Herod's palaces, baths, etc. On the way back dip in the Dead Sea, weather permitting, and stop at Qumran where the Dead Sea scrolls were found. Return to Jerusalem for overnight.
Overnight: Jerusalem
Day 7 - Jerusalem
Full day tour of the new city. Visit to Yad Vashem, memorial to the Holocaust and the Shrine of the Book where the Dead Sea scrolls are kept. Visit the fascinating Model of Jerusalem as it was at the time of the 2nd Temple, view the Knesset (Israel's Parliament.)
Overnight: Jerusalem
Day 8 - Depart Jerusalem
Breakfast at the hotel and private transfer to the Tel Aviv airport.
*Bethlehem is part of the Palestinian Authority. Visit is subject to security. The guide will take you to the checkpoint and wait for you there until you return. You will cross into Bethlehem alone. A taxi and guide will be provided.

Options and Extras
Tour Notes
Visitors from Europe, the USA and Canada only need a valid passport to visit the Holy Land. These should be valid for at least six months. A visa of up to three months is given on arrival at the port of entry. Regulations for other countries vary and you should contact us for information.
There are no vaccinations or immunizations required for entry.
Time Change:
The time in the Holy Land is GMT plus two hours or Eastern Standard Time plus seven hours. Summer time has the clocks move forward one hour.
Electrical Voltage:
The electric current is 220 volts single phase, 50 Hertz.
The currency in the Holy Land is the New Israeli Shekel (NIS). This is divided into 100 Agorot. Bank opening times are daily from 8.00 am to 1.00 pm Sunday through Thursdays. Some banks have occasional afternoon opening hours. Banks are closed on Fridays and Saturdays. In addition to banks and hotels, there are many licensed money changers around the country. ATMs are prevalent through the country. Major credit cards are widely accepted.
The Holy Land enjoys mild Mediterranean weather year round. It has four seasons:
Spring: (mid March through May)
The average temperatures range between 20 °C (60 °F) and 30 °C (75 °F). The coastal area is generally very pleasant. In Jerusalem and the hilly areas, the temperature can drop in the evening and warmer clothes are needed. Occasionally, especially earlier in Spring, rainy and colder weather can come in, so you should be prepared.
Summer: (June through September)
Temperatures can run in the high 20s °C (80s °F) and mid 30s °C (90s °F). The coastal plain and Tiberias can be humid. The Negev desert, Jordan Valley and Eilat are hot and dry. Evenings in Jerusalem and the hills can be cool and a light sweater or jacket is needed.
Autum: (Late September through November)
The weather is like Spring. The average temperatures range between 20 °C (60 °F) and 30 °C (75 °F). The coastal area is generally very pleasant. In Jerusalem and the hilly areas, the temperature can drop in the evening and warmer clothes are needed. Occasionally, especially later in the autumn, rainy and colder weather can come in, so you should be prepared.
Winter: (December through early March)
The weather fluctuates alternating between sunny pleasant days and wintry colder weather. Temperatures are generally around 10-15 °C (45 - 55 °F) but can drop with cold fronts coming in.
The quotation is based on the hotels listed or similar. If the hotels listed are not available, we will look for the best alternative. The final hotels used will be the ones confirmed by us. If hotels of the quoted price range are not available we may have to charge a supplement for more expensive hotels.
During busy times or high seasons hotels may request non-refundable deposits to maintain reservations.
Single Rooms are subject to availability. Note that there may be a limited number of single rooms available n hotels especially in the high season. Hotels sometimes limit the number of single rooms to 10% of total rooms booked. Single Room Supplement is charged by hotels regardless of the reason for the single.
Most hotels provide twin beds in twin and double rooms.
Triple Rooms usually consist of a fold-up bed added to the room or a mini-sofa bed that opens up into a bed. These may not be as comfortable as the regular beds. Hotels generally give a minimal reduction for a triple share.
Most hotels do not have non-smoking rooms.
Some Jewish hotels only allow check-in after Shabbat is over on Saturdays and Jewish Holidays. This is especially the case in resort areas such as the Dead Sea, Tiberias, the coast and Eilat.
Nearly all hotels in the Holy Land are Jewish hotels and are Kosher.
Half Board packages are based on special Half Board (HB) hotel prices. All breakfast and dinners are at the hotels unless otherwise stated otherwise. Many hotels do not offer a reduction or refund for forgone breakfasts and dinners with this special HB rate.
Porterage at hotels is included and is paid for to the hotel. It is a service fee. Most porters at hotels also ask for tips in addition to this and additional payments are at the client's discretion.
Air Conditioning:
Most hotels have one set of pipes for heating and air conditioning. This means that hotels cannot provide heating and air conditioning simultaneously. Hotels usually do a switch over from air conditioning to heat in the Fall and from heat to air conditioning in the Spring. The switchover is a major operation and takes 2-3 days. There is little that can be done about this as most hotels here operate in this manner. Only a few of the 5 star deluxe and expensive hotels have a dual piping system and can provide both air conditioning and heat.
Transportation is via fully licensed tourist vehicles that comply with government regulations.
Gratuities and Tips:
Tips are not included. Note tips are customary in the area and we have the following recommended tipping schedule:
Guide: $3-$5 per person per day
Driver: $2-$3 per person per day
Hotels: $1-$2 per person per day
Restaurants (lunches and dinners outside the hotels) : $0.5 per person per restaurant
Though Porterage at hotels is included and paid to us directly to hotels, porters often ask for an additional tip. It is up to you if you would like to give one.
Lunches, if included, are based on regular restaurants. Special meals or specific restaurants may be more expensive. The itinerary is based on an afternoon/evening arrival and morning departure unless otherwise stated. No sightseeing is included on the first and last day unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Any itinerary discussed with this quote is considered a guideline rather than a contract. Often the sequence of the itinerary is changed due to local conditions, but we strive to visit every site in the itinerary. Sometimes force majeur means that not all sites on the itinerary can be visited. With so many factors to consider (Muslim, Christian, Jewish holidays, national holidays, Eastern and Western Churches, political events) it is difficult to plan for everything. Generally all sites mentioned in the itinerary are visited though possibly with a changed sequence.
Certain services, such as the Tunnel, Yad Vashem, Masses, High Mass, Solemn Entry, etc, get fully booked and are subject to availability. The Tunnel visit should be booked 6 months in advance. The time allocated for the visit is allocated by the management of the Tunnel and is not flexible. It is not rare for visits to be very early in the morning or late at night.
Also, Masses, High Mass, Solemn Entry reservations are not opened to reservations till 2-4 weeks ahead of time, and are not necessarily given on a first come first serve basis. They are set by the Christian Information Center. We cannot guarantee them.
VAT refunds: Some stores offer this facility. Not all stores offer this and no stores in Bethlehem or Jericho offer this. It is the client's responsibility to check if this is available at a store and to arrange it. We cannot assume any responsibility for any problems with VAT refunds.

Ellora, Maharashtra, India
The cave temples of Ellora, a UNESCO world heritage site , are the pinnacle of Deccan rock cut architecture. Over five centuries, generations of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain monks carved chapels, monasteries, and temples from a 2 km long escarpment and decorated them with a profusion of sculptures of remarkable imagination and detail. In all there are 34 caves at Ellora: 12 Buddhist (600-800 CE), 17 Hindu (600-900 CE) and 5 Jain (800-1000 CE). Ellora represents the renaissance of Hinduism under the Chalukya and Rashtrakuta dynasties, the subsequent decline of Indian Buddhism, and a brief resurgence of Jainism under official patronage. The sculpture shows the increasing influence of Tantric elements in India's three great religions, and their coexistence at one site indicates a prolonged period of religious tolerance.
The masterpiece of Ellora is the Kailasa Temple, one of the most audacious feats of architecture ever conceived. Dedicated to Shiva, it is the world's largest monolithic sculpture, hewn from the rock by 7000 laborers over a 150 year period. Attributed to king Krishna I of the Rashtrakuta dynasty c. 760 AD, the idea was not only to build an enormous and fantastically carved representation of Mt. Kailasa, Shiva's home in the Himalaya, but to create it from a single piece of stone by first cutting three huge trenches into the rock of the Ellora cliff face and then 'releasing' the shape of the temple using hammers and chisels. Of overwhelming scale, it covers twice the area of the Parthenon in Athens, is 1-1/2 times as high, and entailed removing 200,000 tons of rock. Around the temple are a variety of dramatic and finely carved panels, depicting scenes from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the life of Krishna. [-- Adapted from the Lonely Planet, India, 1999]

Archive for the 'electric self-starter' tag
From the archives: a ride on the self-starter Cadillac
This picture isn't exactly Washington crossing the Delaware, but its technological significance cannot be downplayed in the history of Cadillac as well as automobiles. To demonstrate the reliability of its new self-starter, Cadillac relied only on the electric motor to propel this four-cylinder Cadillac chassis (loaded with a dozen passengers) around a room in 1912. As to who these 12 gentlemen are, we have no idea. If anyone could shed some light on this dirty dozen, let us know.
The hand-crank, of course, was the way to start a car back in those days, and was also the top injury risk when operating a car. Mike McNessor wrote of a horrible accident that set in motion a chain of events for Henry Leland's desire to invent a car without an engine crank. The self-starter was a major achievement and was a huge technological advancement. Not only was it convenient, it allowed for more market potential, as those who were not physically up for cranking an engine were able to easily operate a car. Though other self-starters had been made, Cadillac's was the most feasible, practical and successful at that time.
The main man behind the self-starter was Charles Kettering, and he was featured in the June 1979 issue of Special Interest Autos. Not only did he design and create the electric starter, but he was a pioneer in other fields of technological innovation that helped shape the automotive industry into what it is today. Kettering had many great quotes, but perhaps this one best sums up his philosophy: "It doesn't matter if you try and try and try again, and fail. It does matter if you try and fail, and fail to try again."
This Day in History: First self-starter installed
On February 17, 1911, the first self-starter was installed on a car. The 1912 Cadillac was the first car to feature the revolutionary invention of Charles Kettering, and would prove a major weapon in GM's attempts to keep up with Ford.
Tech 101 – How a starter motor works
The topic of this week's U.S. Army instructional video on the principles of operation of an electric starter motor may already be a little more familiar to most gearheads than last week's power steering video – electricity seems somehow more graspable to car guys than hydraulics – but it never hurts to review the basics.
For a more in-depth look at DC motors and generators in general, check out this later Department of Defense video.
The accident that started it all

This year marks a pretty significant, if underappreciated, milestone in automotive history: Cadillac's implementation of the electric starter motor as standard equipment on the 1912 Model 30, which made it possible for anyone to turn over a multi-cylinder internal combustion automobile engine without fear of getting TKO'd by the hand crank in the event of backfire or kickback.
In fact, the very real dangers of starting a car engine by hand are what spurred Cadillac to adopt electric starters in the first place.
In the winter of 1908, a woman stalled her Cadillac in Belle Island, Michigan, and didn't have the strength to crank the car over. So she sat there. Another driver by the name of Byron Carter happened along and offered to start the stalled Cadillac. Carter was the founder of CarterCar, which was acquired by GM in 1909, largely due to the company's development work with friction transmissions. Carter was also a friend of Cadillac founder Henry Leland.
When Carter turned the stalled Cadillac's crank, the engine reportedly backfired, the crank hit him in the face and broke his jaw. Tragically, gangrene set in, and, medicine being what it was at the turn of the last century, Carter died later that year.
Carter's death allegedly made Leland decide that Cadillac would rid its cars of the hand starter crank. So he called on Charles Kettering and Dayton Engineering Laboratories Co., or DELCO, which had already developed a high-energy spark ignition for Cadillac that debuted in 1910. DELCO was able to build the electric starter device and prepare it for introduction in Cadillac's 1912 models.
The Kettering unit was a combination starter motor and generator with an overrunning clutch and a steep gear reduction between the starter gear and the gear on the crankshaft that allowed the small electric motor to turn over the car's IC engine. The operator would engage the starter with a foot pedal. When the engine started and the pedal was released, a clutch engaged, connecting the starter motor to a shaft from the oil pump. When driven off the oil pump, the starter motor served double duty as a generator charging the car's battery and supplying juice for the Model 30's electric lights and its electric ignition system, all of which were cutting edge for the day.
SIA Flashback – Hillbilly Genius: The Great "Boss Ket"
Most men are content doing one thing and doing it well. Charles Kettering, however, did many things well and almost singlehandedly steered the American auto industry toward modernity: He refined the coil ignition system, he developed the electric self-starter, he pioneered fast-drying lacquer paint. Yet all his inventions and advancements came from the one thing he was content to do very well: research. Maurice Hendry told Boss Ket's tale in SIA #51, June 1979.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Roadways are still being cleared on Day Two following the winter storm. This morning's commute was still a hazard for some, especially those without four-wheel drive.
Trees have fallen all across the city, blocking roadways and damaging property.
A tree has fallen at 9th St. and Rock St., completely blocking Rock St. and lying on top of a car parked on the street. It has ripped up the sidewalk and smashed the vehicle, but somehow managed to miss all of the houses in the neighborhood.
Another fell on Chenal Parkway in West Little Rock, west of the Promenade near Rahling Road.
Larry Adams, a crew leader with the Little Rock Public Works Department said his crews have been working non-stop since 5:30 Thursday morning.
"All of the broken trees that are hanging over the highway, we're just going along Chenal here and getting them off the roadway. We'll stack and push them to the side; we'll come back at a later date and clean them up," Adams told THV 11 News.
He said he and his crews will work at least 12 hours Thursday just clearing the roads of debris. They are also removing limbs that haven't fallen, but are looming over the roadways.
Adams also issued a word of caution for drivers -- just take it easy, especially around those construction crews clearing tree limbs. He explained that the workers need plenty of room, so use extreme caution and reduce speed when passing.
Plows also worked throughout the day to ensure that drivers have an easier time. The equipment could be found clearing everything from highways and artery roads to even parking lots.
Jerry Sears with ADP is clearing out his own parking lot so his customers can park Friday.
"I'm just trying to get rid of the snow so the sun will melt this when it hits - comes out. It will melt it faster," explained Sears.
Crews will be out until they get the job done.

Though several of the Cambria vignettes at the 2013 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show were styled in a more traditional style than is my liking, and to be honest, I had a difficult time overcoming their less than stellar choice of wall coverings, I was able to overlook those style transgressions and focus on Cambria's beautiful natural stone materials. Their stone products are truly stunning natural beauties, and I would have liked to see them showcased in a setting more befitting of their beauty.
I enjoyed viewing the natural surface materials used in different fashions – not just as a bath or kitchen product. In the photo above – Cambria's Torquay is used as a counter top on a retro-style cabinet bar. In the photo below – Cambria's Hollinsbrook quartz used as a tabletop surface to create an expressive and rich dining experience.
Berkeley from Cambria's Waterstone collection.
Cambria created a natural stone collage – fashioning each piece into cabinet and drawers on a retro inspired standalone bar.

Wolf (1994) Related Movie

Here's a werewolf movie done with some style and some class. This maybe the only werewolf-business world combination. It features effectivevillains played by James Spader and Christopher Plummer. I've alwaysfound Spader an easy guy to dislike, in any film.
Jack Nicholson is the lead guy, however, and is refreshingly low-key,especially for him. I don't believe he ever raised his voice in thismovie, acting very subdued throughout.
There isn't as much action as you see in most modern-day horror moviesbut yet this is such an intense story that you don't lose interest.It's pretty good in the visual department, too, and it doesn't hurt toogle Michelle Pfeiffer.
Even though the profanity is pretty low for a '90s film, when it'sthere it's needless. They could could have done this movie, believe itor not, without any and it still would have been good. I'm notcomplaining. I still recommend this, but not for people who are lookingfor an action–packed vampire film.
"Wolf" posits that the werewolf bite is not necessarily a curse, if what youreally crave is a more wild and natural lifestyle than is possible in our"civilized" society. Quite cleverly, the story is set in a publishingcompany, an environment that is both civilized and predatory at the sametime.
Nicholson gives one of his best performances of recent years here, playingagainst type – he's actually a nice, normal guy! Spader, on the other hand,does what he always does; he acts like a sleaze, and very good he is at it,too. Pfeiffer makes a tough, proactive heroine, and gets a much better partthan you'd expect for a woman in a horror film (horror is very much a boy'sgenre, I'm afraid).
I'm going to get snooty here and suggest that most people just don'tunderstand "Wolf," probably because its ideal audience is quite small. Fansof Nicholson's usual drama fare dislike the movie for its horror content,and fans of violent horror dislike the movie because it's lacking in actionand gore. But if you like thoughtful horror that has more brains thanblood, you're part of the small group of people who'll get something out ofthis.
Even in the confines of big skyscrapers, it's a dog eat dog world.
Simply put, WOLF is a class act. The director is legendary. The actingis subdued yet electrically charged. To top things off, the Hitchcockstyle score by Ennio Morricone draws you in from the opening creditsstraight to the end. WOLF is such a unique installment to the werewolftradition that it easily bursts through the bars of any category youplace it in.
Mike Nichols boasts a career that is a study in itself. Afterartistically defining a post-war generation with the Graduate in 1967,he has been very selective with his projects behind the camera.Twenty-seven years after the Graduate, the veteran Nichols rises to thechallenge of weaving a wide range of adult themes into one coherentwerewolf movie. Stylistically, the shots and cinematography featured inthe movie hearken back to an adventurous 70's spirit that has beenabandoned in modern film. The combination of quick and slow zooms,along with expansive cuts of open spaces make the 125 minute story bothrhythmic and engrossing.
WOLF is not the conventional werewolf movie we're accustomed to seeing,as the film is meant to induce a snicker as opposed to a scream.Although the scare factor takes a marked jump towards the end, themovie isn't really a horror movie. It focuses mostly on the caninetricks of corporate power, double-crossing, and primordial carnalknowledge. In this respect, James Spader upstages Jack Nicholson andalmost steals the show.
Still, there's all the good stuff that comes with werewolf movies. Thecurse is a contagion transmitted by a bite. Who's the monster, and whatmakes the monster fearsome? What happens when Jack starts to turn? Howfar can Mike Nichols upset our comfort level? For all those horror fansout there, the make-up team did a superb job, no doubt influenced bythe disjointed transformations of the original black and white wolf-manclassic.
As a telltale sign of the film's sophistication, the werewolf theme isdramatically eclipsed by the true storyline Nicholson's over-the-hillstruggles in the publishing business. In the final examination, withcorporate culture in mind, WOLF tends to resemble Wall Street or AsGood as It Gets more than it does the Howling or American Werewolf inLondon. Nichols does a masterful job seamlessly weaving canine trickeryinto the workplace. Jack's heightened sense of smell detects hiscoworker's early morning Tequila. His pointed ears pick up juicy officegossip. In addition to these scenes, WOLF introduces an innovativecorporate idea urination and marking of territory, something thatevery sensible dog does when he feels like it!
The only detractor from WOLF is the quick and dirty relationshipbetween Pfiffer and Nicholson. Even though the film is billed as awerewolf movie, this relationship somewhat stands as a centerpiece. Tobe sure, the sparse exchanges between the two stars feature wittydialog with plenty of chemistry. But despite this potential, therelationship somehow rings hollow and gets trampled beneath the otherstory lines that are taking place.
Apparently Sharon Stone was offered the female lead but turned the roledown. To some extent, I don't blame her. The development of MichellePfiffer's character in the movie was an open question mark.
The Pfiffer-Nicholson love story culminates in WOLF's unique ending. Ifyou happen to catch this movie, you can frolic through the woods withJack along to Morricone's synthesized arpeggios. Then determine foryourself whether the ending adds or detracts from the movie. It's beena quandary for me ever since I saw WOLF for the first time in 199(?).
I like this film. It is different as a horror movie, because it really isn'ta horror movie – and yet here we have a man turning into a wolf, he startskilling people at night, and we have the rabid horror music stalking ourears when the wolf is on the prowl.
I like the characters, I like the slow pace and the calm moments and Iespecially like Jack Nicholson when Randall's senses start to come alive. Heis extremely well cast for this film, I don't think many others wouldactually convey the animal inside like he does. Pfieffer's character is,although formulaic, a relief among all the hard-assed men of this film. Theending is a bit silly, but nonetheless odd and intriguing.
Yep.I like this movie. It's fun to watch and it's great to see Nicholson actlike the animal we all really think he is but don't dare to findout.
I saw this film when it first appeared in the cinema and I can remember mydisappointment at the wolf scenes. Now, five years on, I realise what a gemthis film is.
The cinematography is very well done, providing slick shots throughout whichstill hold their own against current films. The acting is very good withJames Spader oozing sleaziness with every single look, Michelle Pfiefferplaying a hardened woman, and Jack Nicholson being, well, Jack Nicholson,but hairier.
The opening sequence grabs you straight away, stock shocks, but they workfantastically, from then on I found myself impressed on just about everyfollowing scene.
Nicholson is very good at underplaying the beginning of his transformationas he starts to discover his newly heightened senses, but he comes into hisown when his powers bring him new found confidence and selfassurance.
Some of the wolf effects are a little cheesy, and the appearance of DavidSchwimmer playing a cop caused me to flash into Friends mode – he even has afriends-like line, could he _be_ anymore Ross like? Aside from these littleniggles the film has an excellent love story with fantastic interactionbetween Nicholson and Pfieffer with some wry dialog. It's got great lightingand very good cinematography throw in a superb Morricone soundtrack and acool ending and you've got a great film.
"Wolf" is not your average blood and guts horror flick. Rather it is a highbudget drama with horror overtones with a top notch cast skillfully directedby Mike Nichols.
Jack Nicholson stars as Will Randall a meek book editor whose life suddenlyis thrown into turmoil when he is bitten by a wolf while driving home from abusiness meeting. Suddenly he begins to feel younger and more energetic andto have keener senses of smell, sight and hearing. But to his horror, hebegins to experience memory black outs during which several tragic eventsoccur. He gradually comes to realize that he is taking on thecharacteristics of a wolf.
At the office, Randall has just been fired from his job by owner RaymondAlden (Christopher Plummer) and his place taken by the arrogant brown nosingStewart Swinton (James Spader). Randall also learns that Swinton has beenhaving an affair with his wife (Kate Nelligan). At that time he meetsAlden's beautiful but self-centered daughter Laura (Michelle Pfeiffer) andnaturally they become involved (Who wouldn't howl at the moon after spendingthe night with Michelle Pfeiffer?).
When Randall's wife is murdered, he begins to fear the worst so he turns toLaura for help in helping him to subdue his urges. But is he guilty murder?We have to wait to find out what's really going on until the last part ofthe film.
The performances by all cast members are top notch. Nicholson as usualstands out as the tragic, doomed Randall. Pfeiffer (who is a much betteractress than she is given credit for) is excellent as Laura. Plummer issuitably oily and manipulative as Alden and Spader is really good as theover ambitious Swinton. Look for David Hyde Pierce in a small role asRandall's assistant and look real close for David Schwimmer as one of thecops who tries to arrest Randall at the zoo.
An off beat but different sort of horror film.
This movie was a welcome change from the typical werewolf flick. First off,we have Jack. Jack rules. Also, we have a good story that relates to adultlife. This movie seems to pay tribute to classic werewolf films such as"The Wolf Man" with its basic formula of: Normal man, man bitten, manrealizes something wrong, man discovers cool abilities, man uses abilities,man's abilities become out of control, man seeks help, man gets mysticalamulet, man seeks resolution. It works very well, and this movie has greatacting in it. Consider it a corporate werewolf flick, a more mature look atthe beast in all of us.
Ever since the 1940s, filmmakers attempting to make a new monster film,in the vein of the classics Dracula or The Wolf Man are often saddledwith the contempt or disbelief provoked in response by contemporaryaudiences, leaving the end result either comedic or a camp attempt at athriller incapable of being taken seriously or enjoyed by anyone otherthan caffeine riddled thirteen year olds. After numerous of saidattempts, it was refreshing, to say the least, to experience a filmwhich would normally fall under the aforementioned category, but whichtook its subject matter in a straightforward and serious fashion,helmed by a quality filmmaker and with a strong enough cast to properlysell some of the less credible aspects of the production. The resultwas Wolf, a modern werewolf film not intended as a joke or cinematicmoney grabber, but instead an intelligent look at the themes whichthrilled 1940s audiences in a contemporary context.
Director Mike Nichols should be commended for instilling his subjectmatter with enough dramatic intensity to appeal to an adultdemographic, without forgetting the primary intent of such a film – tothrill and chill its audiences in turn. But rather than milking theaudience's emotions with a series of oh so trite horror clichés,Nichols is willing to forgo outright shock value screams for acontinual chilling sensation – a more subtle and ultimately more eerietouch many modern hackneyed attempts at horror could learn volumesfrom. Adding to Wolf's credibility is some creative and intriguingcamera work, although the continued use of slow motion during dramaticpoints does begin to appear hokey after a while, despite workingbrilliantly at other points.
The quality of the film is also strongly aided by a strong script,brilliantly paced between frights and character development; also ararity considering the genre, and with just enough fleeting moments ofperfectly placed comedic relief. The ever reliable Ennio Morriconecontributes a wonderful score, a sublime tribute to the horror films ofold without ever seeming clichéd. The filmmakers should also becommended enormously for resisting the temptation to overload thewerewolf character with special effects, and take the classic makeuproute instead. In an industry inundated with computer altered specialeffects, there is something very laudable about seeing an actual actorcovered in prosthetic hair giving an actual performance, rather than aCGI created monstrosity. Whether intended as a tribute to the originalWolf Man (the facial hair designs are unmistakably familiar to LonChaney Jr.'s infamous antihero) or simply taking inspiration from it,the makeup works enormously well, and gives a welcome dose of nostalgiain a modern incarnation of the genre.
The casting of Jack Nicholson as a modern day werewolf may haveimmediately come across as a very mixed blessing, inciting excitementthat such an iconic actor was taking a shot at a part which seemedtailor made for him, and fear that Nicholson might simply coast by onthe premise, and indulge in his tendency to drift over the top to thepoint of pantomime, effectively ruining the intent of the film.Thankfully, Nicholson also had the credulity to take his subject matterseriously, and emerge with a perfectly tuned performance. Nicholsonchannels his legendary charisma into an entirely credible character,riddled with pathos and dark menace, easily dispelling fears that hisfacial prosthetics might come across as laughable, and emerging with asurprisingly powerful and very serious performance. Michelle Pfeiffergives a tremendously charismatic and entirely believable performance asNicholson's surprisingly well written love interest – rather than beingreduced to screaming and floundering around, Pfeiffer injects hercharacter with real human emotions, taking what could have been aroutine romantic lead and nearly stealing the film in one of the mostimpressive performances in her career. James Spader makes a deliciouslyslimy antagonist, and classy support is provided from Kate Nelligan,Richard Jenkins and Christopher Plummer.
What might have degraded into cheap watered down horror trashculminated as an intelligent, mature and unapologetic modern monsterthriller, made all the stronger by its firm, capable direction,intelligent and wonderfully paced script, with excellent performancesfrom Nicholson and Pfeiffer. Wolf makes a wonderful modern take on theWolf Man classic right down to the facial prosthetics, and is easilyworth seeing for any fans of the genre in the mood for a horror filmwhich refuses to patronise its audience – a very refreshing change.
Now HERE is a film to sort out the average from the anything-but-averageviewer. The reviews I have read sadden me, as they suggest a respectiveratio of 98 : 2
If you cannot see the absolute brilliance and talent that went into thisdeceptively clever and involving movie, why declare your obvious limitationsby writing about it? Of course it was never going to be your average run ofthe mill lycanthropic bite-fest. Was that ever likely with Mike Nicholsdirecting and Nicholson starring?
The film is a dedication to BELIEFS, to unseen beauty, unacknowledged linksand to the predator in all of us. It is a tale of romance and magnificence.Way up there in my own personal top 50 films of all time I could never tireof watching this film and LISTENING..and this word is thekey.
HEARING becomes an intrinsic part of Nicholson's transformation after he isbitten by a wolf on his way home one night in upstate New York. He works assenior editor in an upmarket publishing house that is taken over by aconglomerate headed up by Christopher Plummer in one of his superb littleChristopher Plummer characterisations. Nicholson's Will Randall is offeredthe job no-one wants by Plummer to catalyse his hoped-for resignation. Theessence of the wolf however already in his blood sharpens his instincts andhe takes the fight up to Plummer ultimately forcing a back-down.
Of so many wonderful scenes presented, it is hard to nominate a favorite butthat where he meets Plummer's daughter (Michelle Pfeiffer) stands as one ofthe great verbal exchanges ever put down on film. Up there with Pacino andDe Niro in HEAT, Pacino and Keanu Reeves in THE DEVILS ADVOCATE, sparks justfly as the old pro shreds her veneer of impenetrable coldness and getsplenty back, all the time both unconsciously aware of something quiteoutside their experiences, taking hold somewhere in anotherdimension.
My personal nomination for stand out scene, is the sequence where WillRandall, concerned and confused as to what is happening to him, consultsalternative health doctor Vijay Alezias (so humbly played by Om Puri) whounderstands what afflicts Randall and explains to him the "nature" of thewolf and the strength it will ultimately bequeath upon him. In a scene soabsolutely touching, he proffers his hand to Nicholson and explaining thathe is an old man with limited time left asks "Would you honor me with yourbite?" How ANYONE could watch that and not be moved to an emotionalmelt-down I just don't know. The utter confusion reigning then in Randall'sexpression when he declines is just acting on another levelaltogether.
James Spader who is consistently one of the most repulsive of actors (maybethats his talent?) in a litany of warped and twisted roles plays thecorporate climber not just happy to take Randall's job, but his friend'swife (smallish role for Nelligan) as well. The washroom scene whereNicholson announces simply "Just marking out my territory" was worth seeingalone!
Many have complained bitterly that the finale descends into a "typicalb-grade werewolf movie." Jeez, they ARE WEREWOLVES for God's sake what didyou expect Nichols to come up with? a fight to the death with mouse pads? The absolute last scene where Pfeiffer's eyes morph into thewolfwas an inspirational touch. Easily one of HER best films!
Mike Nichols is not always an inspired director but in this case HE IS! Quite amazingly but undeniably, he manages with this gem to achieve anearly perfect synthesis of the realistic, satiric and horror genres.
The theme of lycanthropy , provided by Jim Harrison's excitingscreenplay, is made all the more interesting since it applies to reallife, to the soulless society surrounding us. We have an expression inFrench "l'homme est un loup pour l'homme" (Men are wolves to other men) which could not be illustrated in a better way than by this sombermovie. Indeed, the werewolf theme (unfortunately ) applies toperfection to our money-minded, cynical,mercantile environment.
Also very interesting is the fact that lycanthropy is presented fromtwo angles, the first violent and painful ( like in dozens of such likestories ) the second positive and exhilarating ( a much more seldomapproach ). Will Randall not only suffers from the change in his mindand body but he sees his senses becoming keener, his abilities developand his combativeness strengthened. And putting all these new qualitiesto good use,he turns into the dark avenger of the frustrated viewer.
The dark romantic ending ( the couple becoming wolves ) avoids thetrite happy end and the terror effects are very satisfactory. Iparticularly vibrated at the fight between Nicholson and Spader, in themiddle of which poor Michelle Pfeiffer is ruthlessly brutalized.Theopening sequence ( worried Nicholson driving in a beautiful butunsettling snowy landscape ) is also memorable.
Nicholson, Pfeiffer, Spader and Plummer are all excellent andcomplement each other to perfection.
Shame on those who disparage this masterpiece.

If you're getting strange characters (ÿþF, ÿþL, ÿþL) in RoadRunner, it's most likely due to Unicode strings contained within the MP3's. I suspect this is caused by some ID3 tagging software.
Regardless, here's how to fix it...
1) Download ID3-TagIT
2) Open up the directory with the offending files. Note: everything will look normal inside of ID3TagIT because it properly parses unicode strings. Don't worry about this.
3) Hit CTRL+A to select all the files to fix.
4) Pull down Extended Functions --> Change Tag Ver. x text encoding.
5) Choose "ANSI Encoding" in the options that appear.
6) That's it. You may have to separately edit the Version 1 and Version 2 tags, but by default ID3 Tag IT is synchronizing Version 1 and Version 2 tagging (Options pulldown).
Hope this helps!

Plymouth Raiders re-sign Nick George and Louis Sayers
Plymouth Raiders have re-signed Nick George and Louis Sayers for the 2014-15 British Basketball League season.
Former Team GB player George, 31, joined Plymouth in December and was named in the BBL's British team of the year and averaged 14.4 points per game.
Sayers joined Plymouth last September from Division One side Hemel Storm.
"I'm really delighted to have been able to sign two key pieces to the foundations of next season," said Raiders head coach Jay Marriott.
Plymouth missed out on the BBL play-offs after finishing ninth in 2013-14.
"I feel that we are getting ahead of the curve with early signings," added Marriott.
"This is the start of a very exciting summer for the club with some big announcements on the horizon and lots to be positive about."

The success of many training courses not only depends on the trainer imparting the training, but also the material used in conjunction. In class training can be imparted utilizing regular text based Power Point presentations, but being able to add graphical reference material with 3D animations, Flash presentations etc. emulating the safety hazards and procedures add definite value to the training process. It is scientifically and statistically proven that training programs that utilizes such visual aid for training have been much more successful and students learn and understand the subject matter more effectively.
Softway Solutions and their Training presentation team in Houston, are experts in creating and helping our clients create more attention grabbing and interesting presentations used within their training programs. Our Team utilizes the use of 3D animations, Illustrations, Flash presentations, 3D cutaways, Voice over, videos and interactive applications to make the training more intuitive and interesting.
Some common applications of such training presentations are for representing hazards that must be avoided. For example – it might be very difficult for a student or employee to visualize an accident, but representing an animation to show how the accident could occur and what the consequences of the hazard are helps the trainees to understand it and avoid it. Verbally describing a hazard or accident might not be as effective. Softway Solutions Training Presentations team in Houston, can help by creating characters and emulate an accident in 3D animation that may result in an explosion without really hurting anyone.
Depending on the requirement of the client our team at Houston creates presentations using PowerPoint, flash, and 3D. These technologies are used in
