Richard E. Grant Movies
Tall, gangly, and possessed of a frenetic intensity that lends itself to the highly eccentric and often borderline insane characters he plays, British actor
Richard E. Grant
is nothing if not one of the more distinctive performers to have gained celluloid immortality. His wild eyes and high-strung demeanor occasionally giving him an uncanny resemblance to a meerkat on speed, Grant has been delighting and shocking observers with both his on- and off-screen persona since his 1987 breakthrough in
Withnail & I
Born Richard Grant Esterhuysen on May 5, 1957, in Mbabane, Swaziland, Grant had a somewhat distinctive upbringing, thanks in part to his father's job as the Swazi Minister of Education. His parents' divorce when the actor was 11, for example, was the source of a fair amount of scandal in South Africa. For his part, Grant knew early on that he wanted to be an actor, something that was fueled by an infatuation with
Barbra Streisand
and a steady diet of movies. He followed the career of
Donald Sutherland
with particularly rapt attention, as, like Grant, Sutherland was tall, thin, long-faced, and hailed from the middle of nowhere.
After studying English and Drama at Cape Town University, where he co-founded the multi-racial, avant garde Troupe Theatre Company, Grant headed for London in 1982. He was greeted by a period of unemployment and frustration that lasted for almost five years. The actor eventually began finding work on the stage, and in 1984 was dubbed by Plays and Players magazine as "most promising newcomer" for his performance in Tramway Road at Hammersmith's Lyric Theatre. Ironically enough, given his years of struggle, it was Grant's portrayal of a bitter, pill-popping, unemployed actor in
Bruce Robinson
's black comedy
Withnail & I
that finally put him on the map. The film was a genuine cult classic, and Hollywood soon came sniffing around, if only to cast Grant in the 1988 demons-on-the-loose flop
. The following year, the actor again tapped into his reserves of unpleasantness for Robinson, starring as a toxic advertising executive who develops a talking boil in the satirical
How to Get Ahead in Advertising
. Grant's hilariously vile characterization was considered by many to be the highlight of the film, and further paved the way for greater industry appreciation.
Grant subsequently earned recognition on both sides of the Atlantic, thanks to a number of diverse and often peculiar roles in films of widely varying quality. Particularly memorable during the early to mid-'90s were portrayals Anais Nin's well-intentioned but dull husband in Henry & June (1990), the evil billionaire Darwin Mayflower in the spectacularly disappointing
Hudson Hawk
(1991), an overly insistent screenwriter in
Robert Altman
The Player
(1992), high society lounge lizard Larry Lefferts in
Martin Scorsese
The Age of Innocence
(1993), and an outrageous fashion designer that Grant described as a "male Vivienne Westwood" in Altman's disastrous
Despite his eccentric persona, Grant has time and again proven himself more than capable of essaying straight man roles, as he demonstrated in such films as
Jack and Sarah
(1995), in which he played a grieving widower;
The Portrait of a Lady
(1996), in which he had a small but memorable role as one of Isabel Archer's most ardent suitors; and the made-for-TV
The Scarlet Pimpernel
(1999), which cast him as its titular hero. He has also continued to shine in films that impress upon his comedic abilities, as evidenced by his role as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in
Trevor Nunn
Twelfth Night
(1996) and his portrayal of a disgruntled advertising man in
A Merry War
(1997) (otherwise known as
Keep the Aspidistra Flying
), a satirical comedy based upon a novel by George Orwell.
Enlisted again by Altman, Grant showed up alongside a star-studded ensemble cast in 2001's critically-acclaimed Gosford Park. Supporting roles continued to suit him well as he would later take on parts in Steven Fry's Bright Young Things and the 2004 John Malkovich-starrer Colour Me Kubrick. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

A dejected nine-year-old girl finds her dreary Christmas in Vienna magically transformed by an enchanted gift in director Andrei Konchalovsky's adaptation of the timeless holiday classic. Just as it begins to look as if Christmas is going to be a total bust, young Mary (Elle Fanning) receives a gorgeously crafted nutcracker from her adoring uncle Albert (Nathan Lane). Later, as night falls on Christmas, the Nutcracker (Charlie Rowe) springs to life, and whisks Mary away on a breathtaking tour of the place where all Christmas gifts come alive. But something is amiss in this captivating world of wonder; the malevolent Rat King (John Turturro) and his wicked mother (Frances de la Tour) are plotting to claim the entire kingdom for themselves, and when they kidnap the Nutcracker, Mary teams up with the other toys to get him back. Saving the kingdom won't be easy, though, because before Mary and her friends can rescue the Nutcracker and restore order, they'll have to discover the Rat King's one true weakness, and summon the courage to strike back when he least expects it. The film features eight new songs by Oscar winner Sir Tim Rice (Aladdin, The Lion King). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Love Hurts
A complacent, middle-aged ear, nose, and throat doctor attempts to win back his wayward wife with a little help from their college-bound son in this romantic comedy from writer/director Barra Grant (Glory Days, Life of the Party). Dr. Ben Bingham (Richard E. Grant) has everything a man his age could want in life -- a good job, a gorgeous home, and a beautiful wife -- yet, as a result of being so content, he's lost his passion for living. His wife, Amanda (Carrie-Anne Moss), on the other hand, is excited to start a new phase in her life once their teenage son, Justin (Johnny Pacar), leaves for college. Unfortunately, she sees Ben as dead weight, and decides to walk out on the marriage before he drags her down, too. With Amanda gone, Ben sinks into a deep depression, slipping into his pajamas for weeks on end and numbing his sorrows in gallons of booze. Disturbed by his father's increasingly morose behavior, Justin give his dad a makeover and encourages him to go out on the town. Before long, every single woman has her eyes on Ben. But there's only one woman he wants, and in order to get her back he'll have to convince her that he has a new outlook on life. When teenage player Justin falls hard for a virtuous Russian ballerina, Ben returns the favor by schooling him in the fine art of romance. In the process, Ben realizes just what Amanda means to him, and vows to do whatever it takes to win her back. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Penned between 1946 and 1961, Ernest Hemingway's novel The Garden of Eden remained incomplete at the time of its author's suicide, but finally appeared in 1986, as the second posthumously published Hemingway novel following the 1970 Islands in the Stream. As directed by John Irvin (Turtle Diary) and scripted by James Scott Linville, this screen adaptation faithfully adheres to the original story. The tale takes place in the 1920s, on the Côte d'Azur of the French Riviera, where David Bourne (Jack Huston), a youngish American writer, and his gorgeous wife, Catherine (Mena Suvari), spend a tranquil honeymoon. Tranquil, that is, until Catherine grows restless and dissatisfied, and brings into their midst Marita (Caterina Murino), an Italian girl to whom they both feel magnetically attracted. In seemingly no time at all, her sensual presence threatens to tear the marriage asunder. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

After more than two decades as one of the world's most recognizable stars, Madonna steps behind the camera for the first time with this comedy drama about a handful of bohemians struggling to make a name for themselves in London, which she both wrote and directed. A.K. (Eugene Hutz) is a Ukrainian émigré and struggling musician who fronts a band blending gypsy music with punk rock. Still coming to terms with a childhood pock-marked by abuse, A.K. believes that one has to confront the seamy side of life to find enlightenment, and with this in mind he supports himself by torturing masochists for money while dressed in military gear. Living in the same decaying apartment block as A.K. is Holly (Holly Weston), a gifted dancer who dreams of becoming a ballet star, though now she's forced to degrade herself as a stripper at a "gentleman's nightclub." A.K. is enamored of Holly, but can't work up the nerve to make a move. Elsewhere in the building, Juliette (Vicky McClure) wants to help children in the Third World, but is biding her time working at a pharmacy, where she swipes medicine for charity when she isn't pocketing recreational material for herself, and Professor Flynn (Richard E. Grant) is a blind poet who is surrounded by a personal library of books he can no longer read. Filth and Wisdom also features several performances by Gogol Bordello, the band Eugene Hutz leads in real life; the film received its world premiere at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The laziest cat in America swaps places with the richest feline in England in director Tim Hill's lasagna-laden sequel to the 2004 theatrical hit Garfield. Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) is on his way to London to propose to his veterinarian girlfriend, Liz Wilson (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and his unflappable cat, Garfield, is determined to be there when Jon pops the big question. Of course, Garfield wouldn't go anywhere without his old pal Odie, and soon after arriving in the land of Big Ben, the clueless tomcat inadvertently changes places with royal look-a-like Prince. It seems that Prince's owner, Lady Eleanor, has recently passed away, leaving the care of her sprawling estate Castle Carlyle in the capable paws of her devoted kitty companion. The trouble is, Prince has decided it's due time for a vacation, and with Garfield in charge there's no telling what kind of trouble will befall Castle Carlyle. Despite having a devoted butler named Smithee (Ian Abercrombie) to cater to his every whim and a whole host of fun-loving critters with whom to pass the lazy days spent lounging in the sun, this crowned head begins to feel the sting of deceit as the envious Lord Dargis (Billy Connolly) hatches a dastardly plan to do away with the whiskered heir and claim Castle Carlyle all to himself. Meanwhile, as Garfield attempts to hold his ground against his greedy would-be nemesis, the fun-loving Prince is living it up with Jon and Odie by taking a trip to some of London's most popular pubs. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A kindly aristocrat suffering from an unsightly curse breaks free from her extravagant, prison-like estate to seek adventure and discover her true self in a romantic, modern-day fairy tale directed by Mark Palansky and starring Christina Ricci, James McAvoy, Peter Dinklage, and Reese Witherspoon. Generations ago, a witch placed a curse on the Wilhelm family that would result in the next girl being born into the clan having a porcine snout -- and now young Penelope (Ricci) has fallen victim to the vengeful hag's unsightly grudge. When tabloid reporter Lemon (Dinklage) runs a misleadingly frightening photograph of the kind-hearted Penelope, her parents, Jessica (Catherine O'Hara) and Franklin (Richard E. Grant), lock the girl away in a sprawling mansion. Though it is said that the curse can be lifted if a man of Penelope's status takes her hand in marriage, every man who lays eyes on the girl takes flight at first sight, never to return -- until the arrival of Max (McAvoy), that is. An unrepentant gambler with a heavy heart and an ulterior motive for meeting Penelope, Max is unexpectedly caught off guard by the pig-nosed girl's disarming charm, and suddenly flees before carrying out his nefarious plan. Now determined to throw caution to the wind and explore the world on her own terms, Penelope makes the acquaintance of independent-minded delivery girl Annie (Witherspoon), who fast agrees to join her newfound friend on the ultimate journey of self-discovery. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Color Me Kubrick

In the mid-'90s, an Englishman by the name of Alan Conway (John Malkovich) conned many people into believing that he was the reclusive American director Stanley Kubrick, despite the fact that Conway was openly gay, bore no physical resemblance to Kubrick, and knew little about the director's work. Conway's story has been loosely adapted into the comedic feature Colour Me Kubrick. Anthony Frewin, who worked as Kubrick's personal assistance for many years, wrote the script, and Brian Cook, who served as Kubrick's assistant director on several films, including Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut, marks his directorial debut with the film. Colour Me Kubrick follows Conway on a number of adventures, wherein he cadges drinks, cash, sex, and more from unsuspecting victims, ranging from a heavy metal band to a wine bar owner (Richard E. Grant) to a British lounge singer (British television comic Jim Davidson making his feature-film debut), who are awestruck by his purported fame and fortune, and willing to overlook Conway's genuinely bizarre behavior in the hopes of impressing the great director. Conway's act reached its pinnacle when he temporarily pulled the wool over the eyes of then-New York Times theater critic Frank Rich (William Hootkins). Colour Me Kubrick features cameos by Ken Russell, Honor Blackman, Peter Sallis, and Marc Warren. The French production had its international premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Actor and author Richard E. Grant made his directorial debut with this period comedy drama inspired by his own experiences growing up in colonial Africa in the sixties. Ralph Compton (Zachary Fox) is the 11-year old son of Harry (Gabriel Byrne), the minister of education in the British-controlled African nation of Swaziland. While Harry is a likeable and well-connected man, his marriage to Lauren (Miranda Richardson) is on shaky ground, and when he learns she's been having an affair with one of his best friends, she leaves him and he begins drinking heavily. Harry sends Ralph to boarding school when things start to get unpleasant, and after two years he returns home to discover that some changes have been made. Ralph (now played by Nicholas Hoult) finds that his father is still drinking, but seems a more relaxed and better adjusted man -- and has just remarried, having tied the knot with Ruby (Emily Watson), a former stewardess from America. Ralph naturally resists Ruby's presence in the house, but the two become close, as Ruby indicates that she understands Ralph better than anyone else (and he senses the same). Meanwhile, the British start to withdraw from Swaziland. Wah-Wah received its world premiere at the 2005 Edinburgh Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Tim Burton returns to the dark but fanciful animated style of The Nightmare Before Christmas with this stop-motion black comedy. Victor (voice of Johnny Depp) lives in a small European village in the 19th century, where he is pledged to marry Victoria (voice of Emily Watson), a partnership arranged by their parents. The two only meet the day before their scheduled nuptials, and Victor performs disastrously in the wedding rehearsal. Later that evening, while he is walking through the woods and hopelessly practicing his vows, he puts Victoria's wedding band on what looks like a branch. Victor quickly discovers this was a big mistake; as it happens, he has put the ring on the skeletal finger of the enchanted Corpse Bride (voice of Helena Bonham Carter), who then whisks him off to a dark and mysterious netherworld where they are now married. Victor is frightened in the land of the dead, and even realizes that he has fallen in love with his true fiancée, Victoria, so he searches for a way back to his own world. Directed by Tim Burton in collaboration with animator Mike Johnson, Corpse Bride features a stellar voice cast, including Albert Finney, Christopher Lee, Richard E.

Another in a long line of "revisionist" Sherlock Holmes dramas, the made-for-cable Case of Evil offers a 28-year-old Holmes (James D'Arcy) who, in contrast with his later and more familiar persona, brashly brags about his deductive skills, egotistically basks in his fame and popularity, and drinks like a fish. But young Sherlock is in for a sobering and humiliating return to earth when he first crosses the path of Professor Moriarty (Vincent D'Onofrio), the "Napoleon of Crime." The brilliant but inexperienced Holmes not only fails to connect Moriarty with the murders of London's most notorious opium dealers, but even ends up falling into the clutches of the master criminal, who introduces the hapless detective to a relatively new and exotic drug known as heroin. Helping Sherlock put himself back together after his horrendous experience are his friend Dr. Watson (Roger Morlidge), his brother Mycroft (Richard E. Grant), and a comely young lady (Gabrielle Anwar) -- whose last name happens to be Doyle. The story is climaxed by a thrilling sword duel inside Big Ben (and never mind that the famous clock tower hadn't yet been built). Filmed in Romania, Case of Evil made its USA Network debut on October 25, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Probably the most filmed of all Sherlock Holmes stories, Arthur Conan Doyle's 1901 novel The Hound of the Baskervilles was given another go-round with this BBC television production. Richard Roxburgh, best known as the libidinous nobleman in the 2001 theatrical feature Moulin Rouge, is cast as The Great Detective, with Ian Hart as Holmes' friend, assistant and chronicler Dr. John Watson. The game is afoot when Holmes and Watson head to gloomy Baskerville Manor near the forbidding Grimpen Moor, the new home of young Sir Henry Baskerville (Matt Day). A number of curious events have led the detectives to the conclusion that Sir Henry's life is in danger -- that, in fact, he may at any time be torn asunder by a gigantic, vicious hound. Is this the fulfillment of "The Baskerville Curse," brought about by villainous debauchery of Sir Henry's ancestor, or is the would-be murderer a human being, using the legend of the Hound as a smoke-screen? Taking quite a few liberties with the original, The Hound of the Baskervilles was a nonetheless entertaining "shorthand" version of the Doyle classic. Making its British broadcast debut on December 26, 2002, the film was curiously premiered over Canadian television some five weeks earlier, on November 18. In the United States, The Hound of the Baskervilles was first seen as part of PBS' Masterpiece Theatre anthology on January 19, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Maverick American filmmaker Robert Altman takes a witty and absorbing look at the foibles of the British class system in this intelligent murder mystery set in the early '30s. Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and his wife Lady Sylvia (Kristin Scott Thomas) are a pair of wealthy British socialites who have invited a variety of friends, relatives, and acquaintances to their mansion in the country for a weekend of hunting and relaxation. Among the honored guests are Constance (Maggie Smith), Lady Sylvia's matronly aunt; Ivor Novello (Jeremy Northam), William's cousin who is also a well-known actor and songwriter; and Morris Weissman (Bob Balaban), an American film producer who is friendly with Ivor and researching an upcoming project. Observing the proceedings are the domestic staff of the mansion, including imperious butler Jennings (Alan Bates); footmen George (Richard E. Grant) and Arthur (Jeremy Swift); Probert (Derek Jacobi), a valet to Sir William; housekeeper Mrs. Wilson (Helen Mirren); Mrs. Croft (Eileen Atkins), who oversees the kitchen; and Elsie (Emily Watson), a maid. Also on hand are the guests' personal servants, including Mary (Kelly Macdonald), Constance's maid; Henry (Ryan Phillippe), Weissman's valet; and Parks (Clive Owens), a butler. While the servants are required to display a high level of decorum, they are expected to be passive observers who do not comment on what they see, though the gossip among them travels thick and fast once they retire to the servants' quarters downstairs. And it turns out that there's plenty worth gossiping about, especially after Sir William turns up dead, and everyone is ordered to stay at the mansion while the police investigate the killing. Gosford Park also features Charles Dance, Tom Hollander, Natasha Wightman, and Ron Webster; the screenplay was written by Julian Fellowes, based on a story by Altman and co-star Bob Balaban. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A nobody walks a dangerous path in a bid to become a big-shot in this gritty drama from the United Kingdom. Tony Cocozza (Ian Hart) is a small-time Scottish vocalist with a gimmick -- he loves the music of Frank Sinatra, and his repertoire consists almost entirely of songs associated with Ol' Blue Eyes. While Tony has a good voice and can bring off Sinatra's material quite well, he's a clueless nebbish offstage and hasn't been able to advance his career beyond the bottom rungs of the Scottish nightclub circuit. One night, while Tony waits out an intermission in his dressing room, an imposing-looking man named Chisolm (Brian Cox) arrives with a request -- his boss (Iain Cuthbertson) would prefer to hear some songs by Elvis Presley. Chisolm's boss turns out to be a powerful and dangerous crime kingpin, so Tony swallows his pride and sings like The King for a few minutes; the mobster is pleased, and Tony soon finds himself playing a better grade of nightclubs and spending his spare time with some of Glasgow's most notorious crime figures. Bill (Alun Armstrong), Tony's pianist and closest companion, warns Tony that he's getting in over his head with his new and dangerous friends, but imagining success is finally around the corner -- and emboldened by his new relationship with Irene (Kelly MacDonald), a pretty but cynical cigarette girl he met at a gig -- Tony refuses to listen to him.

Tony is picked on by his new classmates and starts dreaming about vampires at night, until one fine evening his dreams seem to summon Rudolph (Rollo Weeks), an aristocratic, wee vampire. Rudolph is among the vegetarian variety of vampires, but tells Tony that his diet has weakened his flying powers. After Tony guides Rudolph to some unsuspecting cows, on whose blood his new friend feasts, a friendship is born. Rudolph introduces Tony to his father (Richard E.

The Scarlet Pimpernel
Baroness Orczy's frequently filmed adventure novel The Scarlet Pimpernel has been the subject of two different British TV series, the second of which aired nearly half a century after the first. Debuting on BBC1 on January 24, 1999, the "new" Scarlet Pimpernel was, like its predecessor, set during the dark days of the French Revolution. The estimable Richard E. Grant starred as Sir Percy Blakeney, an insufferably haughty British dandy. Unbeknownst to virtually everyone (including his wife, Marguerite, played by American actress Elizabeth McGoven), Sir Percy spent his evenings in the guise of the dashing, fearless Scarlet Pimpernel, savior of many French noblepersons who would otherwise have been condemned to the guillotine by the Revolutionary Tribunal. Together with a small band of confederates, the "damn'd elusive Pimpernel" enjoyed nothing more than thoroughly confounding his perennial nemesis, the skulking Citizen Chauvelin (Martin Shaw). Though played with tongue firmly in cheek, the series boasted some pretty impressive fencing sequences, staged by the talented Terry Walsh. Six 90-minute episodes of The Scarlet Pimpernel were seen in Britain in weekly clusters of three each, the last one airing on November 1, 2000. The series was produced in association with the American A&E cable channel, which ran the six episodes on a monthly rather than weekly basis. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Playing at home for the final time until November, No. 8 Northwest Missouri State put together its most complete performance of the season last week in a 66-6 clobbering of winless Northeastern State.
An offense that had been mired in inconsistency set season high's for points (66), total yards (654) and rushing yards (346) without a turnover, and the defense kept NSU scoreless for the final 52 minutes and forced four turnovers.
Venturing on the road for the first of four consecutive October games, the Bearcats want to keep up their high level of play against Central Oklahoma Saturday at 1 p.m. at 10,000-seat Wantland Stadium in Edmond, Okla.
Central Oklahoma (1-4, 1-4) is the third straight first-year MIAA program and the fourth straight team with one win or less on Northwest's schedule.
"Something we talk about a great deal as a program is we can't believe the season is already half over," said Northwest Missouri State head coach Adam Dorrel. "We carried that into Saturday's game and I fully expect us to carry that into UCO and just keep on going. We were playing at such a high level defensively. We were playing at such a high level on special teams. I think to put it all together just gave our team a lot of confidence."
Northwest (4-1, 3-1) carries a three-game win streak into play, having beaten three straight winless opponents by an average of 37.3 points.
This is Northwest's final game before their showdown with No. 1 Pittsburg State at Arrowhead Stadium Oct. 13, raising the possibility that the Bearcats might be due for a letdown.
Dorrel disputes that notion.
"We've never even talked about stuff like that around here," said Dorrel. "I think the thing I've always tried to do with the kids is get them to enjoy each week, and it's very sincere coming from me. I'm excited about going down there. I've been there before. They got nice stuff and it's a nice fan base, nice school. It's a suburb of Oklahoma City. I don't buy into that stuff."
Northwest is making its first visit to UCO since 1991 which is also the last time the Bearcats played in the state of Oklahoma.
Northwest and UCO have split four all-time meetings, with the last one taking place in 1992 at Bearcat Stadium.
A former Lonestar Conference member, the Bronchos finished 2-9 each of the past two seasons before moving into the MIAA.
Former Navarro (Texas) Junior College coach Nick Bobeck, age 32, was hired as UCO's head coach in January and brought with him Adrian Nelson who is now the Bronchos starting quarterback.
Like Northeastern State (0-5, 0-5), the Bronchos have endured a brutal early-season schedule, consisting of four games and soon to be five against ranked opponents.
Page 2 of 3 - In the last four weeks, UCO has played No. 1 Pitt State, No. 25 Emporia State, No. 20 Washburn and No. 5 Missouri Western.
Emporia State was the lone team during that stretch to blow UCO out, winning 42-14.
UCO lost to Pitt 34-19 and was within eight points of Western in the fourth quarter before losing 45-23 last week.
Two weeks ago, UCO broke into the win column with a 35-20 upset of Washburn, which at the time was undefeated and ranked No. 9 in the nation.
That game caused Northwest and the rest of the MIAA to take notice.
"I think it really opens your kids eyes," said Dorrel. "I know when I was in there (Tuesday) that was one of the first games they watched and you could see their athleticism come out, just kind of the way they sparked themselves late in that game. There was a lot of enthusiasm on the sidelines. We know the quality of opponent Washburn is and for Washburn to go down there and beat, I think it says a lot about UCO."
Dorrel calls Central Oklahoma "more athletic" than any of the past three teams they've played and says they are "much better" on the defensive line than Northeastern State due to a transfer-heavy presence.
"They maybe don't have the experience in Division II, but they got a lot of kids that have played a lot of football," said Dorrel.
Statistically, the Bronchos haven't excelled in any one area.
They rank ninth or below in scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense, total defense, rush offense, rush defense, pass offense and pass defense.
Offensively, UCO runs a steady diet of zone-read plays with Nelson either keeping himself, faking and throwing or handing off to explosive tailback Josh Birmingham.
A 5-9 junior who started his career at Wyoming, Birmingham was a second team All-American as a freshman and is currently second in the MIAA in rushing yards (498) and third in all-purpose yards. He's UCO's leading rusher and third leading receiver with 12 catches for 99 yards.
"I think their team goes as their running back goes," said Dorrel. "We just faced a good tailback, but this kid is a little bit different. I term him as more of a slasher. The kid from Northeastern was really downhill. I think (Birmingham) has better top-end speed."
Birmingham presents the biggest challenge to date for a Northwest defense that ranks third against the run, giving up 112.6 yards per game.
Last week, the Bearcats faced the MIAA's fourth leading rusher Joel Rockmore and held him to 57 yards on 17 carries.
"Our guys predicate everything they do on stopping the run and getting teams into third and medium and third long," said Dorrel. "I think sometimes maybe other teams panic and get away from their run game and from their game plan and just say 'hey, we can't run the football. Let's throw the ball. That would be great if they do that Saturday."
Page 3 of 3 - Nelson, a 6-4, 230-pound junior lefty has completed right at 52 percent of his passes for 1, 047 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions. Christian Hood, a 5-11 sophomore, leads UCO with 20 catches but hasn't scored a touchdown.
Redshirt freshman Marquis Walters has 15 catches and three touchdown receptions.
Defensively, the Bronchos have given up an average of 33.2 points per game. Teams are rushing for 193.6 yards per game against the Bronchos and passing for around 250.
However, UCO has better personnel and defensive numbers than any of Northwest's last three opponents.
Senior Herbert Byrd has been a force along the defensive line with 4.5 sacks and six tackles for loss.
Redshirt freshman Kenny Allen has a pair of sacks to his credit.
Junior defensive back Devoris Dozier leads UCO with 38 tackles. Junior Brad Harman is second with 37.
"Two safety look most of the time just like Northeastern State," said Dorrel. "They don't want to give up big pass plays. They don't blitz a ton. Towards the end of the Missouri Western game they really started bringing it."
Northwest's offense currently ranks 10th nationally and third in the MIAA in scoring at 41.6 points per game.
The Bearcats have averaged 50.3 points per game in their last three after a 27 point per game average in the first two.
Quarterback Trevor Adams returned from a two-game absence last week and had his best game of the year, completing 19-27 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns.
Starting running backs James Franklin III and Jordan Simmons combined for 139 yards on 18 attempts, putting both over the five yards per carry average mark for the first time all year.
Tyler Shaw and Simmons share the team lead in receptions with 23. Shaw is the team leader in yards with 354 and caught his fourth touchdown in the last games against NSU.
Defensively, Northwest ranks sixth nationally and first in the MIAA in points allowed at 12.6 per game.
Central Missouri is the only team to crack 13 against the Bearcats this year.
Northwest has also forced 14 turnovers, including seven in the last two games.

Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
These are great light weight snowshoes. Easy to put on and take off and are made of a durable composite. They are not the best in deep, powdery snow. Putting the optional tails on helps a lot though. All around great snowshoe for the average person but I'd want something better if I used them a lot in deep snow.
Best Uses
Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
Thus far I've only used this snowshoe in moderately steep terrain in Rocky Mtn NP and it performed exactly as I had hoped. It is a big emprovement over my older bearpaw aluminum framed snowshoe in terms of overall size, weight and traction in hard snow and ice.
Best Uses
Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
I used this product on a long 13 mile Winter day hike in the White Mountains of NH. Two things that aren't great about this product:
1) the buckle at the front of each snowshoe was not long enough to allow the snowshoe to be secured to a size 14 Scarpa Mountaineering boot. The securing mechanism on the buckle was hard to adjust.
2) as is the case for all MSR snowshoes that I am familiar with, there is very little to grip at the end of each strap, especially the one that goes around the heel. As such, it is hard to pull the straps tight, especially with a gloved or mittened hand. Interestingly, the instructions on how to put on these snowshoes show the strap being pulled up by an ungloved hand - not likely to be the case during a winter hike.
Best Uses
Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
I was sold on this design because you could use them as a smaller, more compact snowshoe but add the floaters for length when traveling to deeper snow. This way, for our light lower-Michigan snow you're not wearing long snow shoes when you don't need them. If you head up North into deeper snow, snap on the floaters and, Voila, you have the longer snowshoe you need. Good idea. Problem is, these bindings are horrible and hard to manipulate. The top "quick strap" binding is almost impossible to manipulate, especially of your hands are cold. The other bindings on the shoe operate more like a buckle. There's a little silver post that goes through the strap and then you tighten them. Problem is, when you put that silver post through the hole it is on the top of your arch and stopped by your own shoe!!! - making it, again, almost impossible to manipulate and get through the hole - especially with cold hands. I switched to the Atlas snowshoe. It's an easier binding system. My advice: it's critical that you have a binding system that is easy for YOU to operate. Everyone is different so shop with that in mind. I wouldn't order online. Go into the store and try some.

Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
These are great snowshoes. I wanted to purchase the Evo Ascent shoes but I "settled" for the Evo Tour shoes instead. The only difference I could find between the two models was the step-in toe strap. After using the step-in toe strap I have found that it does a good job securing your boot to the shoe bindings and you have one less strap to mess with. The shoe is durable and works well. I haven't seen a good reason to spend the extra money on the Ascent model. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend them.

Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
Great styling. Lightweight and more maneuverable than previous models. Did I mention that they were lightweight?
Best Uses
Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
At first a little hesitant when I seen them I guess I am a little "old school" or just use to the more traditional snowshoes. It took me a few minutes to get the front strap adjusted to my boots. Once you get the straps adjusted to you they are extremely easy to get on and off. If you plan to share them I would definitely get the Evo Accent. I have used them by themselves and in deep snow I added the tails and they worked perfect. The buckles never froze on me and when you are on a steep ascent the heel clips LOVE IT! They worked beautifully.
Best Uses
Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
My husband and I purchased these snowshoes after much consideration and reading lots of reviews - we wanted the best buy for our money. We went up to northern Minnesota for a small vacation and it was a blast! We did the one-time fit of the snowshoes before hitting the trails, and it was very simple. There wasn't a great deal of snow, so I can not comment on the floatation in deep snow, but these were amazing on the ice and rolling hills. Of course since this is a recent purchase, I cannot speak of the overall performance year after year. However, we are anxiously waiting for MORE snow to get out and use these. Snowshoeing is a wonderful winter activity, and these snowshoes make it very fun!
Best Uses
Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
The SpeedLock binding system works great. My fingers get cold very fast in the winter and these bindings are very easy to use with bulky mittens. The binding system also lets you put them on and take them off very quickly. They also attach to the foot very securely and stay that way throughout the entire hike.
These snowshoes perform well in deep powder and packed snow, and the traction is excellent in all directions on steep terrain. Overall, these are the best snowshoes I have used.
Best Uses
Comments about MSR Evo Tour 22 Snowshoes:
I had these out in fresh powder for a weekend and they they performed amazingly. Best snowshoes I have had to date. I went through just about everything from level ground to steep off trail terrain.
Great traction, and great fit. I like the bindings on these more than other shoes I have had in the past. I will be getting the extensions soon to help with more flotation when i'm carrying my pack on trips.

[ Post Photo by Bob Starrett] 36Contestants In Final Week The Farmingdale Federation of Teachers voted yesterday to begin their strike today as scheduled during their vote last week. Negotiations broke down late Tuesday night after the union rejected the • Board of Education's latest offer of a $ 500,000 salary increase package. Since the Public Employees Relations Board fact finder's report was received last Friday, a state appointed PERB super-conciliator has been attempting to delay any strike action at least until Monday because state law gives both sides ten days to react' to the results of the report. At Monday night's Board of Education Meeting, however, it appeared that the two sides were far from reaching an agreement, Although the union has apparently abandoned its insistence on the renewal of the job security clause, they are asking a $ 1.3 million package of salary increases and fringe benefits. The board has made an offer of $ 375,000 which would amount to a 3 per cent salary increase. > This figure offered by the board represents savings cut from the budget and which would still The $ 500,000 offer would add approximately 13 cents to the existing tax rate. The union has also presented proposals guaranteeing employment of its members by the creation of new programs and services or the reinstitution of old programs which had been curtailed or eliminated at a time when enrollment is sharply dropping. The community had expressed itself clearly on this issue and the Board feels it cannot bargain away, its commitment to the public. Much has been said and intimated on the issue of class size. Class sizes planned for next year are virtually identical to those which exist this year. What the Board cannot condone are proposals which in effect would be a further extension of job guarantees. The Board wishes the public to know that it supports present class size averages. Several proposals at issue involve maintenance of programs and services. The Board has announced its intention to phase out foreign language from grade 5 in the elementary schools. It has also provide the taxpayers wiuYl zer< K undertaken steps to cut personnel Two final contestants signed up for the race for Master and Miss Hardscrabble, bringing the total number of contestants to 36 as the last week of voting got underway. The winners will be announced in next week's Farmingdale Post. The final collection of ballots from the Farmingdale Library will be made Monday morning and the winners announced. The last two contestants to join the contest are Lisa Marie Avallone, age 9, of 29 Colonial Drive; and Roger More, age 4, of 310 Staples Street. The ballots have been piling up during the past week, so no leaders will be listed until all ballot votes can be validated with the issuing merchants. The unofficial vote leader has topped the 5,000 vote mark, so the process of tabulating and checking for verification is time consuming. Master and Miss Hardscrabble and their runner- ups will lead the Hardscrabble Day Parade at 11 a. m. Saturday, May 22, and will receive their prizes on stage during the opening ceremonies immediately following the parade in front of the Main Street School. The Main Street School will be the main entertainment center, with the Town of Oyster Bay Showmobile parked on the front lawn. A second entertainment stage will be set up near Front Street. Entertainment will be provided all day at both locations. An art contest has been scheduled as last year for all art exhibitors. Four first prizes of $ 25 each will be awarded for oil paintings watercolors, sculpture and mixed media. Medals for second and third place winners will be awarded in each category. All artists must be registered to exhibit at the Fair in order to be eligible for the judging and the prizes. Registration fee is $ 5 and winners will be announced the day of the fair. Exhibitors who wish to have their works judged, may enter two pieces by bringing them to the South Farmingdale Branch Library on May 12,13, or 14. They may pick up their works on May 15. The winners will be exhibited at the European- American Bank for one week, May 31 through June 4. • After Hardscrabble, the next major Bicentennial event for the Village of Farmingdale will be a concert by the University of California Marching Band to be held July 11 at the University of Farmingdale. Tickets for the event will be sold by the Women's Club of Farmingdale at their booth during the Fair.

According to a study by "a celebrated Berlin physician," a man who wanted to preserve his strength and health and live a long life ought to marry.
The doctor compared the death rate for single and married men between the ages of 30 and 45 and found it 27 percent for single men but only 18 percent for married men. At age 60, there were 22 bachelors compared to 48 married men. At age 70, there were 11 bachelors compared to 27 married men. By age 90, there were only three bachelors compared to nine married men.

The video shows the Range Rover stopping again -- long enough for a biker to open the door -- and Lien then driving away until traffic forced him to the final stop.
Police say the subsequent beating included kicks to Lien's head and body as he lay on the highway.
Injuries to SUV driver, biker
Lien suffered two black eyes and cuts on his face and side, requiring stitches, a police detective's criminal complaint said.
His wife and daughter were unharmed.
Mieses' family, meanwhile, has said he was paralyzed and needs a ventilator to breathe in the hospital.
They claim Mieses was trying to help Lien.
Chance's lawyer said prosecutors should conduct a grand jury investigation of Lien for hitting Mieses and Chance with the SUV.
Criminal case
Chance was ordered held on $75,000 bond Sunday.
Assistant District Attorney Samantha Turino said Chance's license had been suspended and he should not have been driving. She said Chance's arrest record includes a marijuana charge in 2013 and attempted criminal possession of a weapon in 2006.
Christopher Cruz, 28, who police say is the biker who slowed in front of Lien, was charged with reckless driving and other misdemeanors. He was released on bond.
His lawyer, H. Benjamin Perez, said, "He never tried to assault him in any way. And he does not know any of the other motorcyclists who were involved in this beating."
Another biker, Robert Sims, is accused of stomping on Lien. He surrendered on Friday on charges of attempted assault and gang assault.

Argentine quaffs seduce Korean palates
Argentine Ambassador to Korea Carlos Alberto Arganaraz hosted a swath of Korea's wine industry, including local sommeliers, restaurateurs, wine and food critics, hotel representatives and wine importers in swishing, sniffing and swigging fine Argentine wines. The lucky participants quaffed on a battery of red Malbecs in what the embassy described as the first World Malbec Day celebration in Korea at Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul, Tuesday. It is the kind of recognition that a grape of such a generous flavor and color deserves, Arganaraz said in welcome remarks during the hours-long event that included a tango show by Rosalia Gasso Villar and Alejandro Barrientos from Buenos Aires Wine & Steak Restaurant and a seminar on the South American nation's signature varietal. "Wines of Argentina, an organization formed by the most important wineries in my country, recognized the need to give to the numbers of fans of this unmistakable red wine, the opportunity to know in detail their properties and characteristics. This is how the idea to invite the connoisseurs of good wine to focus on Malbec every April 17th and discover its unlimited potential around the world," he said. Argentine's high altitude Mendoza Province produces what are rated by wine experts as among the best wines anywhere. "(It's) an ideal environment to develop a wine that has surprised and seduced the entire world," Arganaraz said. Arganaraz said he hosted the event here so you people can enjoy the Malbec wines which are sold in Korea and so importers can have an opportunity to get to know about Argentine wineries. "Also to taste them with the selection of dishes created especially for this occasion by Banyan Tree chef for you to give me your valued opinion," he said. |

Rendell signs copies of new crime thriller
11:00am Saturday 21st September 2013 in News
Crime writer Ruth Rendell introduced her 24th novel in the Wexford series at the Blenheim Palace Literary Festival at Woodstock yesterday.
The new novel, No Man's Nightingale, tells the story of a retired detective chief inspector who is called in to help with the case of an unpopular reverend found strangled in the vicarage.
She was asked about her latest work, her career and what makes her write by an audience at St Mary Magdalene Church in Woodstock.
Baroness Rendell said: "Everyone seemed to like it. People applauded and bought books and I signed them. It was good. St Mary Magdalene Church was a bit cold but it was very nice."
The literary festival finishes tomorrow.

The Maroon Volume X LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FEBRUARY 26, 1932 Number 14 PRESENT FIRST OPERETTA DUTCH BOYS AND MAIDS TO CAVORT IN MUSIC COMEDY Hulda Of Holland Opens For Two Day Stand In Marquette REGENT REPORTS BIG ADVANCE TICKET SALE Loyola Orchestra To Make' Initial Appearance With Special Score By Paul Capdevielle Tomorrow night is the opening night of "Hulda of Holland," the first operetta in the history of Loyola. The students and citizens are impatiently awaiting the rising curtain, as the heavy advance ticket sale has indicated. The Loyola Glee Club, the Loyola Auxiliary to the Student Council, the Urtulim Glee Club and the Loyola Orchestra have their definite duties well in hand, and syncroniM perfectly. ThC' sabots are in from Wi-i on a, ery has been set up, the Dutch peasant costumes have been delivered, the new lighting system has been installed, the spots are ready, the makeup artist and the prop hands are eager to toe the mark. Last Sunday's one hour broadcast has created much new interest in this great production, and the publicity has been keen. The entire stage is set. The music is being hummed and whistled all over the campus. The beautiful "Make Hay While the Sun Shines," the romantic, dreamy "Two Lips of Holland," the pulsequickening "Dance a Measure" are on all lips. COUNCIL TO PUT SPORT PICTURES IN TROPHY CASE Shots Of All Varsity Teams Since 1927 Will Be Secured For Posterity In justice to posterity, the Student Council decided, at its regular weekly meeting on Tuesday, to take action to bring up to date varsity pictures in the Trophy cases in Marquette Hall. While containing all of the many trophies won since the inauguration of collegiate athletic competition at Loyola, the cases are sadly lacking in the line of varsity picture. The prospective list of pictures to be secured include varsity football lettermen since 1927, all varsity track and basketball teams and the boxing stars of the present, together with a few outstanding athletes of the past. While this will involve considerable expense, the Council believes that the need is imperative and admits of no better time for fulfillment than at the present. Thespians Meet To Talk Over May Production End of Year Play Will Be Mystery Presentation; Get Pins Next Week The Thespian dramatic society held its regular meeting last Friday night, in Marquette Auditorium. The meeting was presided over by President Harold Rouchell, with the Rev. F. L. Janssens, S. J., giving short talks. The main purpose of the assembly was to formulate plans for the big endof-the-year play which will most probably be given about the first week of May. It was left to the members as to what type of play they wanted, whether comedy, mystery, drama, or tragedy. After a vote it was found that a mystery play, interspersed with comedy, was in the highest favor. Then the President appointed a "play-reading" committee composed of Carl Buchmann, chairman, Leo Zinser, and John Schilecci. This committee will be given a number of plays by the director and after they have read through the enth'e lot they will rate each play and the one with the highest rating will be the one chosen for the production.A new plan, of competitive role choosing, was adopted by the society, and as soon as it is approved by the director it will be put into effect. The play, when chosen by the committee, will be read at a meeting and all members wishing to try out certain parts will hand in their names to the director; the member will then enact a short interpretation of the character chosen and the one giving the best performance will be awarded the part. The president also appointed several men to assist him in scouting around for a suitable downtown playhouse in which the production could be given. If suitable arrangements can be made B.
