Helena Bonham Carter Movies
Perhaps the actress most widely identified with corsets and men named Cecil,
Helena Bonham Carter
was for a long time typecast as an antiquated heroine, no doubt helped by her own brand of Pre-Raphaelite beauty. With a tumble of brown curls (which were, in fact, hair extensions), huge dark eyes, and translucent pale skin,
Bonham Carter
's looks made her a natural for movies that took place when the sun still shone over the British Empire and the sight of a bare ankle could induce convulsions. However, the actress, once dubbed by critic
Richard Corliss
"our modern antique goddess," managed to escape from planet
and, while still performing in a number of period pieces, eventually became recognized as an actress capable of portraying thoroughly modern characters.
Befitting her double-barreled family name,
Bonham Carter
is a descendant of the British aristocracy, both social and cinematic. The great-granddaughter of P.M. Lord Herbert Asquith and the grandniece of director
Anthony Asquith
, she was born to a banker father and a Spanish psychotherapist mother on May 26, 1966, in London. Although her heritage may have been defined by wealth and power,
Bonham Carter
's upbringing was fraught with misfortune, from her father's paralysis following a botched surgery to her mother's nervous breakdown when the actress was in her teens.
Bonham Carter
has said in interviews that her mother's breakdown first led her to seek work as an actress and she was soon going out on auditions.
She made her screen debut in 1985, playing the ill-fated title character of
Trevor Nunn
Lady Jane
. Starring opposite
Cary Elwes
as her equally ill-fated lover,
Bonham Carter
made enough of an impression as the 16th century teen queen to catch the attention of director
James Ivory
and producer
Ismail Merchant
, who cast her as the protagonist of their 1986 adaptation of E.M. Forster's A Room With a View. The film proved a great critical success, winning eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. The adulation surrounding it provided its young star with her first real taste of fame, as well as steady work; deciding to concentrate on her acting career,
Bonham Carter
dropped out of Cambridge University, where she had been enrolled.
Unfortunately, although she did indeed work steadily and was able to enhance her reputation as a talented actress,
Bonham Carter
also became a study in typecasting, going from one period piece to the next. Despite the quality of many of these films, including
Franco Zeffirelli
(1990) and two more E.M. Forster vehicles,
Where Angels Fear to Tread
(1991) and
Howards End
(1992), the actress was left without room to expand her range. One notable exception was
Getting It Right
, a 1989 comedy in which she played a very modern socialite.
Things began to change for
Bonham Carter
in 1995, when she appeared as
Woody Allen
's wife in
Mighty Aphrodite
and then had the title role in
Margaret's Museum
Bonham Carter
's work in the film prompted observers to note that she seemed to be moving away from her previous roles, and although she still appeared in corset movies -- such as
Trevor Nunn
's lush 1996 adaptation of Twelfth Night -- she began to enhance her reputation as a thoroughly modern actress. In 1997, she won acclaim for her performance in
Iain Softley
's adaptation of The Wings of the Dove, scoring a Best Actress Oscar nomination in the process.
After playing a woman stricken with Lou Gehrig's disease opposite offscreen partner
Kenneth Branagh
in the poorly received
The Theory of Flight
(1998) and appearing with
Richard E. Grant
A Merry War
Bonham Carter
landed one of her most talked-about roles in
David Fincher
's 1999
Fight Club
. As the object of
Brad Pitt
's and
Edward Norton
's desires, the actress exchanged hair extensions and English mannerisms for a shock of spiky hair and American dysfunction, prompting some critics to call her one of the most shocking aspects of a shocking movie. But
Bonham Carter
was soon gearing up for another surprising turn in director
Tim Burton
Planet of the Apes
(2001). If critics were shocked by her unconventional role in
Fight Club
, they would no doubt be left dumbfounded with her trading of extravagant period-piece costumes for
Rick Baker
's makeup wizardry as the simian sympathyser to
Mark Wahlberg
's Homo sapiens' plight.
Burton would become Bonham Carter's partner both in film and in life, as the two would go on to cohabitate and have children, as well as continue to collaborate on screen. The actress would appear in Burton's films like Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland, Sweeny Todd, and Dark Shadows. Her often spooky personna in Burton's films no doubt helped her score the role of Beatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films, but Bonham Carter would also continue to take on more down to earth parts -- though for an actress of Bonham Carter's image, those roles included that of Queen Elizabeth in The King's Speech, and the crazed Miss Havisham in Great Expectations. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Transformed into a vampire and entombed for 200 years after betraying vengeful witch Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), 18th century fishing magnate Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) returns to Collinwood Manor in 1972, only to find his once proud estate in ruins and his family plagued by macabre secrets. It was the year 1752 when Barnabas' parents came to America to expand their business empire. But after establishing the thriving New England fishing town of Collinsport, the family experienced a series of misfortunes when Barnabas fell for the gorgeous Josette DuPres (Bella Heathcoate) and cast aside beautiful witch Angelique, who cursed him with eternal life and buried him deep in the earth. Returning home to Collinwood Manor after being dug up by a construction crew in 1972, Barnabas learns that Angelique has nearly driven his family out of business, and turned the townspeople against them. Determined matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) employs live-in psychiatrist Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) and enchanting governess Victoria Winters (Heathcoate) to try and help young David Collins (Gully McGrath) get over the mysterious death of his beloved mother, but as Barnabas gets acquainted with his distant ancestors -- including Elizabeth's black-sheep brother Roger (Jonny Lee Miller) and headstrong teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz) -- their suffering weighs heavily on his shoulders. Later, when Angelique learns that Barnabas has returned on a mission to restore his family to its former glory and fallen for the radiant Victoria (who is actually Josette reincarnate), she vows to make his suffering unimaginable if he should dare refuse her once again. Jackie Earle Haley, Bella Heathcote, and Gulliver McGrath co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Academy-award winning director Tom Hooper's adaptation of the beloved musical Les Miserables makes no major changes to the original's plot. The story follows former prisoner Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), who, after being released from the watchful eye of police officer Javert (Russell Crowe), is unable to find work because of his status as an ex-convict. He eventually steals from a local church, but when apprehended, the priest claims that Valjean was given the valuables. This triggers a change in Valjean, and he constructs a new identity for himself as a pillar of society and a local businessman. Years later, he adopts a young girl named Cosette, whose mother Fantine (Anne Hathaway), a former employee of his, became a prostitute and died a horrible death in the gutters after being fired. As the years progress and the French Revolution begins to foment, a grown Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) falls for a passionate revolutionary named Marius (Eddie Redmayne), while Javert begins to close in again on Valjean's secret past. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Alice in Wonderland
Director Tim Burton and screenwriter Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King) team up to deliver this visually dazzling take on the classic Lewis Carroll tale. Nineteen-year-old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is attending party at a lavish country estate when she sees a white rabbit with a pocket watch dart into the bushes. Curious, she follows the rabbit to an enormous tree, and tumbles down a hole that takes her to Underland, a strange world inhabited by anthropomorphic creatures in search of someone to save them from the dreaded Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), who has assumed control of the kingdom by decapitating anyone who dares disagree with her. According to a scroll detailing a historical timeline of Underland -- including events that have not yet taken place -- it is Alice who will set the kingdom free by defeating the Jabberwocky, a powerful dragon-like creature under the control of the Red Queen. But is this Alice the same Alice who appears in the scroll? While some of the creatures of Underland have their doubts, the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) and his friends are certain she's the same girl who previously visited them years ago. When the Red Queen kidnaps the Mad Hatter, Alice attempts to free her friend and locate the one weapon with the power to slay the Jabberwocky, thereby restoring the White Queen (Anne Hathaway) to the throne, and bringing peace back to Underland. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A food-obsessed youngster competes for his father's affections against a cleaning woman who knows that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach in director SJ Clarkson's adaptation of Nigel Slater's best-selling memoir. Growing up, Nigel (Freddie Highmore) never knew the simple joys of a home-cooked meal. While his asthmatic mother places the family on a steady diet of canned food, young Nigel pores over gourmet cooking books with the enthusiasm of an adolescent who's just discovered his first Playboy Magazine. Later, as Nigel's mother begins to fall ill, the relationship between the young boy and his gruff father grows increasingly strained. Shortly after Nigel's mother dies, his father hires a new cleaning woman named Mrs. Potter (Helena Bonham Carter) -- who also happens to be a wiz in the kitchen. His father enchanted by Mrs. Potter's show-stopping lemon meringue pies, the conflicted adolescent is aghast when he learns that the housekeeper will soon be his stepmother, and the family will be moving to the country. Nigel's initial horror quickly turns to elation, however, when he discovers that the local school offers a domestic science class. Before long, Nigel has become something of a culinary artist himself, and uses his skills to win back his father's affection one bite at a time. Later, after Nigel lands a job in a local pub, he discovers a whole new world of opportunity that will take him to the world-renowned Savoy Hotel in London after his father passes away. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Adolescent wizard-in-training Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for another year of schooling and learns more about the dark past of the boy who grew up to become Lord Voldemort in this, the sixth installment of the film series that originated from the writings of author J.K. Rowling. There was a time when Hogwarts was thought of as a safe haven, but thanks to Voldemort's tightening grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds, that simply isn't the case anymore. Suspecting that the castle may even harbor an outright threat, Harry finds his investigation into the matter sidelined by Dumbledore's attempts to prepare him for the monumental battle looming ever closer on the horizon. In order to discover the key to Voldemort's defenses, Dumbledore enlists the aid of resourceful yet unsuspecting
bon vivant
Professor Horace Slughorn, who may have a clue as to their enemy's Achilles' heel. Meanwhile, teenage hormones cause the students at Hogwarts to lose focus on their true mission. As Harry and Dean Thomas clash for the affections of the lovely Ginny, Romilda Vane attempts to woo Ron away from Lavender Brown with some particularly tasty chocolates. Even Hermione isn't immune from the love bug, though she tries her hardest to suppress her growing jealousy and keep her emotions bottled up. But there is one student who remains completely aloof from the romance blossoming all around, and he intends to leave a dark impression on his classmates. With tragedy looming ever closer, it begins to appear as if peace will prove elusive in Hogwarts for some time to come. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Young wizard-in-training Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) returns to Hogwarts for his fifth year of studies, only to find that the magical community seems to be in a curious state of denial about his recent encounter with the sinister Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) in the fifth installment of the popular fantasy film series based on the best-selling books by author J.K. Rowling. Rumor has it that the dreaded Lord Voldemort has returned, but Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge (Robert Hardy) isn't so sure what to make of all the hearsay currently floating around the campus of Hogwarts. Suspecting that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) may be fueling the rumors regarding Voldemort's return in order to undermine his authority and lay claim to his job, Fudge entrusts newly arrived Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) with the task of tracking Dumbledore and keeping a protective watch over the nervous student body. The young wizards of Hogwarts will need something much more effective than Umbridge's Ministry-approved course in defensive magic if they are to truly succeed in the extraordinary battle that lies ahead, however, and when the administration fails to provide the students with the tools that they will need to defend Hogwarts against the fearsome powers of the Dark Arts, Hermione (Emma Watson), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Harry take it upon themselves to recruit a small group of students to form "Dumbledore's Army" in preparation for the ultimate supernatural showdown. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A 12-year-old Jewish boy teetering on the cusp of manhood finds his eagerly anticipated Bar Mitzvah threatened by a lethal combination of World Cup fever, the loss of the family business, and the shenanigans of a mischievous elder sibling in a coming-of-age comedy directed by Paul Weiland and starring Helena Bonham Carter, Stephen Rea, and Gregg Sulkin. The year is 1966, and Bernie Rubens (Sulkin) is about to become a man. As the date of his Bar Mitzvah draws nearer, however, it seems like the stars have aligned to prevent it from being the blow-out bash he has always dreamt of. Not only is his wayward older brother drawing away all the attention in the family, but his father's business is slowly going down the drain as well. To make matters worse, England has finally fought their way to the World Cup Final, and the big game is scheduled for the very same day as Bernie's Bar Mitzvah. Will Bernie's friends and family be able to resist World Cup fever and make it to the celebration he has gleefully anticipated his entire childhood, or will the mania that has overtaken all of England pull a red card on the day that was supposed to be a clean-shot goal? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An encounter between two people with a shared past and conflicting futures is played out on a split-image screen in this offbeat drama. An unnamed man (Aaron Eckhart) and woman (Helena Bonham Carter) are enjoying drinks and cigarettes in a hotel room after attending a wedding reception. At first, the two seem to be playing a flirtatious game, as he cheerfully but confidently advances toward her, and she seems at once attracted and put off by his bravado. Their
pas de deux
is shot and edited in split screen, with his image appearing in one half of the divided frame and hers appearing in the other. As time wears on, the man and woman begin crossing their appointed boundaries, and in some sequences one half of the frame represents the present while the other shows us events in the past. We learn that the man and woman had a tempestuous affair when they were in their late teens, and both are now committed to other people -- she has a husband, while he has a steady girl. How will the experiences of their past affect their present, and are they willing to betray their lovers for an evening's pleasure?

Eccentric inventor Wallace (voice of Peter Sallis) and his faithful if often perplexed dog Gromit are back in their first feature-length adventure from animator Nick Park. Wallace and Gromit have launched a new business venture just in time for a major gardening competition in their neighborhood of West Wallaby. "Anti-Pesto" is a humane pest-relocation service in which Wallace and Gromit capture rabbits and other critters who have been eating the produce from local gardens and give them new homes somewhere else. Business has been going well, and when the woman hosting the garden show, Lady Tottington (voice of Helena Bonham Carter), discovers a massive tribe of rabbits has been making a mess of her garden, she calls in Wallace and Gromit to move the bunnies elsewhere. Wallace is quite taken with Lady Tottington, but he's not the only one -- Victor Quartermaine (voice of Ralph Fiennes) is a slick but arrogant upper-class type who wants to win Lady Tottington's hand (and fortune) and is convinced he can do a better job capturing the rabbits than Wallace. However, Wallace's attempts to brainwash the rabbits away from veggies using his latest invention has disastrous results, and soon Wallace has to deal with a beastly bunny as well as a heavily-armed Quartermaine. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit followed Park's previous film with the duo, A Close Shave, by ten years, and was produced after Park broke through to mainstream success with the feature Chicken Run. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Director Tim Burton brings his unique vision and sensibility to Roald Dahl's classic children's story in this lavish screen interpretation. Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) is the secretive and wildly imaginative man behind the world's most celebrated candy company, and while the Wonka factory is famously closed to visitors, the reclusive candy man decides to give five lucky children a chance to see the inside of his operation by placing "golden tickets" in five randomly selected chocolate bars. Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), whose poor but loving family lives literally in the shadow of the Wonka factory, is lucky enough to obtain one of the tickets, and Charlie, escorted by his Grandpa Joe (David Kelly), is in for the ride of a lifetime as he tours the strange and remarkable world of Wonka with fellow winners, media-obsessed Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry), harsh and greedy Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), gluttonous Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), and ultra-competitive Violet Beauregarde (AnnaSophia Robb). Over the course of the day, some of the children will learn difficult lessons about themselves, and one will go on to become Wonka's new right hand. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory also stars Christopher Lee, James Fox, and Noah Taylor; the book was famously adapted to the screen before in 1971 under the title Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with Gene Wilder as the eccentric candy tycoon. ~ 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.

The life of one of Great Britain's most influential and feared monarchs is dramatized in this lavish production, originally produced for British television. King Henry VIII (Ray Winstone) is a shrewd but ruthless ruler who is determined to sire a male heir who will succeed him on the throne. However, his wife, Catherine of Aragon (Assumpta Serna), after numerous attempts, is only able to bear him a daughter, so the king takes a mistress, Anne Boleyn (Helena Bonham Carter), in hopes she will give him a son. Anne Boleyn cleverly insists that she must wed the king if they are to have a child, and when the Catholic Church forbids Henry's request for a divorce, the king responds by forming his own denomination, the Church of England, which he will oversee himself. One of the king's most trusted advisers, Cardinal Wolsey (David Suchet) attempts to convince Henry that this is folly; Henry sentences him to death, and sends him to the Tower of London to await his sentence. Despite these machinations, Anne Boleyn is unable to give Henry the son he wants, and the king decides she will pay with her life for this failing. As Henry becomes increasingly ruthless in his dealings with those close to him -- as well as other nations -- he leaves a bloody wake as he uses beheading as his favored means of dealing with troublesome wives and untrustworthy allies. The cast also includes Sean Bean, Charles Dance, Emilia Fox, and Emily Blunt; Henry VIII first aired in the United States as part of PBS's award-winning anthology series Masterpiece Theatre. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

As America geared itself for another possible armed conflict in Iraq, the HBO cable service offered a dramatization of events surrounding the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Originally telecast on December 8, 2002, Live From Baghdad recounted the efforts by the CNN network to be first on the scene when hostilities broke out in the Gulf in late 1990. Inaugurating round-the-clock coverage of the warfare with the invasion of Kuwait, dauntless CNN producers Robert Wiener (Michael Keaton) and Ingrid Formanek (Helena Bonham Carter), aided and abetted by on-the-scene reporters Bernard Shaw (Robert Wisdom), Peter Arnett (Bruce McGill), and John Holliman (John Carroll Lynch), among many others, represented the only American news service on the scene during the first night of bombing on January 16, 1991. Not only does Live From Baghdad celebrate the heroism (and meticulous fairness) of the CNN crew, but it also vividly demonstrates how a tiny but tenacious basic cable channel managed to out-scoop the Big Three networks, thereby becoming one of the most powerful and influential journalistic forces in the world. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Planet of the Apes to top of Queue
This big budget "re-imagining" of the 1968 original departs somewhat from both that classic science fiction film and the source novel by author Pierre Boulle. Mark Wahlberg stars as Leo Davidson, an astronaut of the early 21st century whose unauthorized mission to rescue a chimp companion from a mysterious space storm goes awry when he and his ship are lost through a rip in the fabric of time. Leo crash-lands on a planet where intelligent, talking apes are the dominant species and humans a conquered slave class. Befriending both a chimpanzee activist named Ari (Helena Bonham Carter), who's sympathetic to humans, and a beautiful human rebel, Daena (Estella Warren), Leo quickly becomes a prominent figure of resistance to his fellow humans. This makes him an instant source of irritation for the militant and ambitious General Thade (Tim Roth) and his trusted adjutant, Attar (Michael Clarke Duncan), who intend to hunt Leo down and crush the burgeoning human uprising. War looms between ape and human as Leo and his band head for a sacred site deep in an off-limits desert, where secrets about the planet's ape and human ancestry wait to be revealed. Planet of the Apes is directed by Tim Burton and features the original film's star, Charlton Heston, in a cameo role as the dying father of Thade. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

With spring turkey season behind us, and deer season still a few months away, now is a good time to check over all of your hunting equipment. Take your treestands outside and check them for any rust, cracks and problems with any cables or straps that might be part of their structural integrity. You should replace anything that doesn't look right to you. Just keep in mind that you'll be sitting in that stand anywhere from 10 to 25 feet off the ground. That might not seem like its very far, but falls from treestands is the number one cause of serious injuries and deaths for hunters.
Take the time to check your bow, shotgun and muzzleloader over. Give them a good and proper cleaning. One thing I check on my bow every year is how the string looks. Bow strings do wear out. I do a fairly good job of keeping mine waxed, which makes it perform better and last longer. If your bow string shows a lot of wear and tear, replace it. The last thing you want is for your string to fail when you're at full draw. With today's high-power compound bows, it can be dangerous to have one "blow up" in your hands. There's a lot of energy stored in those limbs when at full draw.
Archers should also check all of their arrows. This is particularly important if you shoot carbon arrows, like I do. But it also needs to be done for aluminum and woods arrows, as well. This is something you should do every time after shooting your bow. I do what is called the "flex test" with my arrows. Before putting the arrows back into the qiver, I flex them a couple of times to see if there are any imperfections. The slightest nick can cause an arrow to fail when you release the bowstring to make a shot. I've seen some scary photos of arrows that failed upon release and broke into pieces with parts of the arrow ending up in the archer's wrist or hand that is holding the bow.
You also want to look at all of your other equipment to make sure its in good shape. That goes for your safety harness, hunting clothing and footwear, knives, binoculars, rangefinders, and any other piece of equipment that is important for your hunts. Getting everything ready now will pay dividends when the archery season begins in the fall.

PUCO gives Ormet Corp. payment deferral for August, Sept.
Written by AVC NewsMonroe County-based aluminum producer still seeks permanent rate reduction
MONROE COUNTY, Ohio -- The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has approved a payment deferral that will ease Ormet Corporation's energy woes - for now.
On Wednesday, the PUCO ruled that the Monroe County-based aluminum producer will not have to make electrical payments of $5 million in August and $5.5 million in September. Ormet officials say this is necessary to keep the existing two pot lines open at the factory in Hannibal. Four other pot lines have already been shut down.
The ruling is similar to one the regulatory body handed down to Ormet in October and November 2012.
Monroe County officials and Ormet workers last week urged the PUCO to rule on the company's behalf in a rate dispute between Ormet and AEP Ohio. Ormet's bankruptcy proceedings and sale to Wayzata Partners are contingent on settling a dispute between AEP Ohio and the aluminum producer over the rate the company pays for electricity.
Ormet has a hearing for a permanent rate reduction scheduled for Aug. 27 in Columbus. The decision could effect hundreds of workers in the Ohio Valley.

While today will be sunny, snow is in the forecast again with a few inches or more expected Saturday.

Snowfall could range from 2 to 5 inches ending in the afternoon or evening. Daytime temperatures will hover in the low to mid 30s.
Sunday will be mostly sunny with a high of 34.

No vanishing. I swear, if you do this to me you'll be dragged to the corner of shame better known as the ignore list, by my pet dragon Fluffy the Devourer and will never come out of it again. People dropped out of me too freaking much already and honestly and I'm tired of it now. Just let me know if you need some more time, but if you are already too busy to start a new rp, don't.
-I'm searching for someone who can play the male role for this rp. Even if I can play males as well, that's not what I had planned for this rp.
-This RP is going to be dark themed. It will include themes such as physical abuse (either in the violent or sexual way, or both, depending on what we agree on), isolation and more serious themes. If you can't handle such themes and blood, but are looking for a cute smoochy rp, don't pm me.
-Mauture scenes will likely occur, both in violent and sexual themes.
-Let me know your limits to maturity and I'll let you know about mine, so we can keep them in mind. Also if there are things you're wanting to try, just say it.
-I try to type up at least one paragraph, preferably two a post. Please try to get at the same post length.
-My character is mine to control, not yours. It seriously annoys me when people include what my character does in a post not written by me just becuase that fits for them. I don't mean you can't describe a part of what happened to my character before, but you're no freaking psychic. Even if my character starts tapdancing on the edge of the grand canyon while standing on a balance ball, it would make sense if my character would fall into the grand canyon, but in the end, I rp the character, and therefor it's up to me what happens to her, so you don't just assume she's going to fall and inlcude it in your post, because hell, for as far as you know I'll make my character do a backflip, kick your character in the face and then let her ride off to the horizon, riding a shark on dry land while shooting down aliens with a laser that shoots gummibears.
-If you read the point above, you likely noticed that I can be pretty random. If you can't stand that, stay very far away from me. However, the RP will not be as random, but OOc conversations with me have a possibility of including ramdonness.
-Try to post at least once a day.
-To show you've read everything, send me a pm instead of reypling here, with the title being the title I made up, and let me know the name of my pet dragon and what happens to you when you vanish.
-Use proper grammar and spelling. I know english might not be your native tongue and it's not mine neither, but at least make sure I can understand what you're writing.
-I'm not going to a MXM or FXF. This is supposed to be a MXF, and that's what it will be.
She is one of the most gorgeous woman in town, already caught the attention of many men, but they never get her interest. She has that one specific man in mind, has been waiting for him all her life, and still does so.
One day, she becomes sick and tired of jut sitting around and waiting, and she leaves her hometown, going on a trip to find the man she's dreaming of. Despite the warnings of many, she takes the dangerous path, feeling as if that is the path she should take. She soon realises that she couldn't have made a worse decision in all her life. A long moment passes dring which she is unconscious, and when she wakes, she's no longer outside. She's in someone's house, a house that's unknown to her. She notices her body is know wounded and her clothes are damaged. When she dares to look around for anyone else in the house, she meets a creatures right out of her nightmares. It was a beast like creature, and could only barely be called human.
It doesn't take her long before she faces the truth: She is stuck with the beast, and she will be for the rest of her life. Soon she realises that he is also very agressive, violent, careless, short tempered, coldhearted, hateful and much more.
As she endures the time she's forced to spend with him, too scared to complain about a single thing he does to her and even more scared of the consequences of running away, she slowly but surely starts to discover that behind all that there is to see about the man, there is a true, hidden beauty inside of this creature. On the inside hides the man she has been dreaming of all her life.
Hoping her growing feelings of affection towards him will be answered, she keeps enduring all he puts her through. But will she gain his love before his way of treating her becomes too worse?
This is ridicolously important. This isn't going to be a Disney-ish Beauty and the Beast, this is going to be dark, mature and violent. I repeat, NO DISNEY STUFF. Let me make this clear by showing how Disney imagines being locked up with a beast like man, and how I picture it:
Disney's point of view:
Belle, who still had a skin as smooth and unharmed as ever, smiled as the talking furniture moved around her, filling a warm, nice cup of tea for her before they all happily sing a song together. Then, all of a sudden the sweet and totally not affraid woman finds a rose, but not just any kind of rose, a magical one. The Beast soon starts to be more friendly to her, and all of a sudden everyone bursts into signing, because the best thing to do when you're locked in a house with a violent Beast man with talking furniture and magical roses is singing. Not very much later some dude tries to kill the Beast, but instead of dying, he becomes a handsome man and marries her. Lucky Belle!
Now I'm sure I didn't describe everything perfectly, because it's been ages since I've seen that movie, and yes, I do think this is one of Disney's lesser logic material, though I can appreciate a good movie from them. Anyway, let's move over to my point of view now.
FaithfulMuse's point of view:
Her eyes shifted around in the room, making sure everything was still the same and that she was still safe, or at least for the moment. An old, damaged chair, a weak light coming from a small burning candle on the worn nightstand, a damaged bed, even more damaged furniture and herself, a beat up woman with many wounds that would certainly result into scars later on, worn off clothes that he had damaged upon slashing her with his claws, a thin figure and black rings under her eyes that were a great signal from her lack of sleep.
Yes, everything was still the same. He wasn't there, and for the moment she would be safe, and she wished with her enitre heart this moment would last the entire night long. Still, just knowing he wasn't there with her, didn't seem to calm her down much. The never ending, always repeating, rhytmical sound of the ticking clock on the wall in the otherwise soundless room wasn't just getting on her nerves, it was making her feel less sane than she already did in this place where she was. The ticking sound, oh that terrible sound.... It just kept going on and on, never giving her a moment of silence, keeping her awake every night and day, and also counting the seconds she had left for her every time he was coming for her. That terrible, ticking sound....
Another sound joined the ticking of the clock, a sound she had started to relate with fear, pain and misery. It was a tiny sound outside of the room she always recognised and wished to never hear again. Claws.
Clicking claws on the wooden floor of the house, announcing his presence to her, letting her know that he was close. It was the sound of fear to her.
The two noises joined each other, turning themselves into a symphony of agony that haunted her.
As her heart raced in her chest and she looked around with bewildered eyes once again, the terrified woman started to wait for the inevitable to happen, counting along with the clock as the terrible sounds continued their symphony.
Tic...Click.. One. Toc...Click.. That was two. Tic...Click... Three. Toc...Click... Four. Tic...Click.. Five.
At the count of five, the door of the room was slammed open, and he stared down at her.

I love Brown's Court! Everything I've had there has been incredible. The cookies are the size of your head, and each and every flavor is perfect. I had no idea one of my favorite cookies there was gluten free--it's that good. I miss Hope & Union as a coffee spot, but really enjoy Brown's Court.
Visited Paige's Incredible Edibles twice, will be back for many more lunches. You get a really tasty sandwich with a small side for less than $7. I've had the cherry chicken salad and the turkey mango sandwiches. Foccacia Pizza is next on the list.
Its Okay for SC, but by no means an "Authentic Jewish-Style deli" unless that style modifier means "Oh they have some Jewish deli items done passably. Okay, nothing special, nothing worth a drive for, but if you live in the area it works
Web site advertising, sign on door, and telephone message says hours are 7 AM to 9 PM Tues thru Sun. We drove 20 miles from West Ashley on Fri evening but they were closed at 7 PM. Thought we would try again Sun but call 1st to understand hours. No phone answer but message still says open 7 AM to 9 PM. Finally called emergency number and find they closed at 3 PM. This is needlessly confusing and troublesome to potential customers not yet familiar that wants to try. We won't try again.
Love love love Wildflour!!! Delicious savory scones & very reasonable prices. My dog also loves her dog cookies. :) Coffee is delic. also
For our June '12 wedding, we included treats from Macaroon Boutique in the guests' welcome bags. The macaroons were not available {only at Christmas?} but we had the chocolate/sea salt cookies and madelines. Everyone raved about the quality and we were so happy to recommend such a top notch local business.
YuM! Best bakery and coffee shop in Charleston, sooo good.
This place is excellent. The best Corned Beef and Pastrami in SC. The soup is delicious and the Danish - the best I have had outside NYC. All made in House. Making the trip here weekly, its worth the drive.
Normandy Farm Bakery is amazing! Always enjoy their breads, coffee, biscuits and desserts.
I live in the neighborhood .. Staff service is uneven & at times the Mgr is haughty as if she is doing you a favor by serving you .. Don't go here at busy time .. Food is fresh & tasty but expensive ..
Was introduced to this place a couple of weeks ago by a friend. Didn't even know it was there. I bought a chocolate croissant that was to die for. Had to get the apricot for later. Wonderful! The baguette we took home for dinner was the best I've had in a very long time. My French mother, bless her soul, would have loved this place. Also, the customer service is lovely and refreshing.
Today we had breakfast at Baguette Magic. We tried an almond croissant and the bacon, egg and cheese on brioche. Delicious! But the best was yet to come --- we took a baguette home with us. The bread was so good that we scrapped tonight's dinner menu and had bread and cheese instead. The baguette was indeed "magic".
my first visit to charleston i happened to park in front of it and as i walked past it i had to go in....super yummy super yummy super yummy..i went to this place three times in two days i loved it so much.....im going back to charleston this weekend and this will be one of my first stops...ignore these other reviewers commenting on the owners....they are super nice people and what business do you know of that allows you to take pictures in their store?
Groovy place with nice folks
I went in today to buy some macaroons to give to a friend and ended up also getting a bag of the chocolate & sea salt cookies plus a chocolate almond croissant--AMAZING! I'm sure I've never had a proper croissant until now. Indescribably good. And the sales lady (who is French) was perfectly lovely.
simply addictive cookies and croissants - a must try if you've never been. they open up around 10 or 10:30am so it's not really a good fit for some people's schedules, but if you find yourself anywhere close to them while they are open you have to go get yourself a choc&almond croissant and a bag of choc&sea salt cookies.
the couple that owns it is quite lovely if you just stop and talk to them.
We were there today. Everything looked awesome....as I was trying to decide between two items my son tried to take a picture of something, to which the snotty sales lady instructed him "you're supposed to ask first". We left with nothing.
sweet, quaint little boutique. along with the decadent and perfectly pretty macaroons, make sure to pick up an almond croissant. tres bien!
I can't rank the food, but on a trip to Charleston, SC with my family (first ever, and a straight 26 hour drive to get there) I was taking pictures of all the pretty scenery (so different then I was used to!) and I went to try to get a quick shot of how beautiful and eye catching the inside of this shop was... when I was rude gestured at. I was so completely flabbergasted that I just stood there stunned for several seconds while the saleswoman is swinging her arms at me and giving me a hideous look. That alone made it sure I never walked into that bakery to try their goods. I was really hurt by the action, but thankfully the rest of Charleston made up for the rude behavior I was given by this one person. If you don't appreciate pictures of the inside, then please put a large sign in the window or on the door to let people know before you snap at them- especially first time visitors. I have a gorgeous shot of their window with the words and pastries behind it but have no desire to show anyone the shot, or to provide it to the bakery as I do with all pictures I take.

There are plenty of things you can do to protect your home against break-ins. Most people will tell you to install timers on your lights, have your neighbour pick up the mail and let someone park in the driveway while you're gone.
Then there are the things you need to do to protect your home from potential damage. For instance, if you're leaving in winter you should shut off the water and insulate any pipes that pass through cold zones, such as the attic and crawl space, so the pipes don't freeze and burst.
And so you're not wasting energy, you should unplug appliances, set the water heater to low and turn down the thermostat (27 C in the summer, 55 in the winter), and install a surge protector to protect against power surges.
This is all standard stuff to protect your home. But you can do better than standard to secure it properly.
Everyone always says to put your lights on a timer. It's a good idea. But take it one step further.
You can use a cellphone app to control when the lights come on in your home. This lets you switch up the times, which is important. All it takes is watching your home for a couple of nights for someone to notice the lights always come on at seven and turn off at 10 — so the lights are on, but no one's home.
And you can't forget about maintenance, especially on your home's exterior. It can be a dead giveaway that you're not home. If the lawn looks overgrown or branches haven't been cleaned up after a storm, people will notice.
You might consider hiring a landscaper or neighbour to mow your lawn or clear snow while you're gone. Ask them to do a quick scan of the exterior after any major storms, to make sure nothing is broken and any debris gets cleaned up. As a precaution, trim trees that can damage your home during high winds.
Also, remember to lock your garage, especially if it's attached to your house, because it can be an easy entry point if not secured.
If your garage has a side door, use a deadbolt to lock it from the inside. And if the door has a window, make sure you can't unlock the deadbolt by breaking the window. Laminated glass, although expensive, is a good option for extra security; it's strong and heavy, so it offers better protection.
Some home security systems will set off an alarm if a window breaks or a door gets busted, and they'll notify you on your cellphone, no matter where you are.
If you have a sliding door in your home, you can put a metal bar or a piece of wood on the track. That stops anyone from sliding the door open if they pick the lock. You can do the same for windows, too. But a better option is installing multi-point lock windows and doors. The multi-point lock windows I've used have three locks on the inside that you can't see or pick.
One last thing about garages: If you have a garage door opener, make sure the door closes completely before you leave.
Most garage door openers have a sensor, so if anything passes underneath the door while it's closing it automatically goes back up. But sometimes even just some debris on the floor won't let it close. Make sure it's fully closed before you leave, or you'll leave behind an entry point.
Last, but not least, don't go broadcasting that you're leaving — and I do mean broadcasting. Social media is fun, but it has risks. It's amazing how much information people share nowadays. You can literally track a person just by looking at what they're posting. Remember: It's not just your friends that see this.
Going on vacation is supposed to be fun. But you also need to be prepared. When it comes to protecting your home, it's always better (and cheaper) to be safe than sorry.

The thrill of purposely flinging oneself down a mountainside is captured like never before in SSX 3, the third entry in the popular snowboarding series that originally debuted on the PlayStation 2 in 2000. While SSX 3 doesn't fundamentally change the series' signature gameplay, which combines near-vertical downhill racing with a completely over-the-top trick system, it does change the structure of the game by offering a freeform, open-ended environment to experience, compete in, and explore. This huge, fully realized snow-covered mountain provides some incredible scenery and no shortage of high-speed entertainment. Fans of SSX should have expected as much, though this is a game that is highly recommended not only for veterans but for novices.
SSX 3 offers miles upon miles of what real-life snowboarders can only dream about.
As in previous SSX games, in SSX 3, your trek to become the fastest, flashiest snowboarder begins with your choosing a persona from the game's cast of young, smart-alecky hipsters. Fans will recognize most of the cast right off the bat, though there are a few new faces as well. It doesn't really matter who you choose, though. Aside from some cosmetic variety in their respective arsenals of trick moves, each character begins with rock-bottom ratings in stats like acceleration, tricks, speed, and stability. These ratings are strictly relative, though. Immediately in SSX 3, you're capable of some impressive stunts and surprising speeds.
The game offers a straightforward "single event" option, as well as a vertical two-player split-screen variant (the PS2 version also supports online play) that allows you to compete in any of the race or freestyle events you've previously unlocked. You unlock events in SSX 3's main attraction, the new "conquer the mountain" mode, which lets you participate in race and freestyle events at your leisure; it also lets you explore the game's expansive environments. SSX 3 takes place on a fantastical mountain consisting of three progressively steeper, more intimidating peaks. These truly are the main characters of SSX 3, as seemingly every square foot of them is unique. They offer so much to see, so many chances to practically fly, and so many hidden pathways and shortcuts that you could easily spend weeks learning their ins and outs. For good measure, each peak has a "back country" section that's unfettered and apparently not intended for snowboarders like you; so, shredding down these uncharted slopes has a very different feel to it than the manufactured and ostentatious racing lanes you'll see more often.
Initially, only the first peak and its basic races and freestyle events are available. As you place in the top three (out of six) in these events, you'll gain access to more events, and, eventually, you'll gain access to the other peaks. Each peak, in turn, has its own events for you to participate in. Most impressively, you'll be able to unlock a race from the top of any of the peaks--right on down to the bottom. Peak one's top-to-bottom race takes 10 full minutes or more, while peak three's race takes an entire half hour. Thanks to the quality of SSX 3's visuals and course design, the game's convincing sensation of speed, and the responsive gameplay that fans of the series know and love, these endurance runs are just breathtaking.
Half-hour runs down the mountain are possible thanks to the streaming technology used by the game. Loading times are carefully concealed, not just in these events, but, in general, during the game. During most of the race and freestyle events, you can instantly restart from the beginning if you decide that you've messed up too badly. Also, at any time, you can access the start menu and freely transport yourself between any of the peaks or events you've unlocked. In a great touch, you'll briefly see your boarder patiently anticipating his or her next run while heading up the slope on a gondola, or even on a private plane, as the new area loads up. Only when first loading the conquer the mountain mode or when leaving the lodge (which is where you upgrade your character and buy new outfits and things) is there a noticeable delay before you hit the slopes again. Even here, some pumping beats keep you company while you bide your time. These may be subtle things, but the attention paid to what happens in between the races and freestyle events goes a long way toward making the whole game even more enjoyable.
The races and freestyle events have the same, basic goals as ever: Respectively, you're either trying to make it to the finish line first, or you're trying to make it to the finish line with as many points as possible (points you earn by executing tricks and trick combos). In addition to these two main types of events, you'll find other things to do just by exploring the mountainside. You can collect icons that give you more cash, and you can also ride on to challenge beacons which let you attempt "big challenges." These are essentially minigames which set such goals as having to jump through a series of hoops or demanding that you run into a series of punching bags on the way down that part of the slope. It can be difficult just to find and run into these beacons on your way down, and, generally, the minigames offered aren't as exciting as the main events. Even so, it can be a lot of fun exploring the three peaks, and the game rewards you for doing so: In addition to the goals associated with the main events, there are goals based on how many challenges you've completed, how many cash icons you've collected, and how much cash you've earned on a peak overall.
This is about as epic as snowboarding can be: a half-hour run down Mt. Everest's big brother.
As mentioned, the actual gameplay of SSX 3 is similar to what's been seen in the series thus far. Obviously, the presence of completely new and much longer courses considerably changes the tone of the experience, but the mechanics won't take long for returning players to get reacquainted with. You can duck down to build speed, or you can check yourself to make sharper turns. You can plant your feet for a jump, and, while airborne, you can execute several different types of grabs by pressing and holding various buttons on the controller. You can also tweak these grabs for bigger points.
Points aren't necessary in the racing events, but executing tricks also earns you more boost, which lets you speed up, jump higher, and, in turn, execute even crazier tricks. Once your boost meter is full, you can perform ubertricks in midair; you can also execute ubergrinds. Pull off four ubertricks in a single run, and you'll gain access to a second tier of even more ridiculous tricks. Pull off five of these and you'll get unlimited boost for a while. The trick system is still quite simple. None of the tricks are harder than any others to execute, but the flashier ones take longer to perform, so it may be harder to land them. Landing in SSX 3 is easy enough: Just ease off the trick buttons and stop flipping head over heels. And, as long as your board lands before your body does, you'll stay on your feet. The game controls about as well using the PS2's, Xbox's, and GameCube's stock controllers, though the four shoulder buttons on the PS2 pad make it especially well-suited for the game.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A strike that's closed most of the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex enters its second week as LA's mayor calls for round-the-clock talks to end it.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa sent a letter Sunday to strikers and management, urging them to negotiate 24/7 instead of breaking off talks nightly. He also wants them to use a mediator.
The strike that began last Tuesday has shut 10 terminals at the nation's busiest court complex. Villaraigosa says it's costing the local economy billions of dollars.
Dockworkers refuse to cross picket lines set up by union clerical workers, who've been wrangling with shippers over a new contract for 2 ½ years. The clerical workers claim terminal operators are outsourcing their well-paid jobs - a claim that shipper deny.

Home food preservation by freezing
More freezing tips
Karen Lovell's favorite recipes: pickled okra and pepper jelly
Home food preservation by freezing
"The ease of freezing is amazing," says Karen Lovell, a Master Farm Homemaker Guild member, of Rosewood. Maybe that's why people who are interested in home food preservation often start by freezing produce.
And then there's the garden fresh taste. "Some things are, I think, better frozen," Lovell says. "I love frozen corn the way I do it. You've got a really fresh product, and it's like you picked it out of the patch that day."
Freezing produce is also inexpensive. If you have a freezer, all that's really needed, other than a strainer and pots, is freezer bags. It is important, however, to be sure you buy freezer bags versus storage bags. Dr. Sandra Bastin, Extension professor of Nutrition and Food Science at the University of Kentucky, says, "You should freeze in heavy-duty Ziploc bags or freezer containers because they're air- and moisture-proof."
That's important to prevent loss of produce due to freezer burn.
So how exactly do foods get freezer burn? Bastin takes it down to the cellular level to explain. "Freezing slows any bacterial or enzymatic growth. Enzymatic growth is usually ripening. And so it's more of a quality concern; freezer burn is the major concern with freezing because there's water inside the cells of fruits and vegetables and as that freezes, it expands like an ice cube would. When that moisture expands, it can break the cell wall and that's what causes the freezer burn. Once you get one cell that breaks, it's kind of a chain reaction."
To try to avoid freezer burn, Bastin recommends blanching a product and freezing it quickly. "Blanching is simply a high temperature for a short period of time. Each product is different, how long we're going to do that, and then we plunge it into an ice bath. And we're trying to kill off enzymes so that they won't continue to cause problems in the freezer," says Bastin.
Lovell offers additional tips for freezing success: get as much air out of the freezer bag as possible before sealing. Place just-frozen produce in a single layer until thoroughly frozen. Typically plan to use frozen produce within six months. Check your thermometer regularly to ensure products stay frozen. Optimal temperature to ensure best quality products is 0° Fahrenheit or below.
Finally, label and date the freezer bag. Once, Lovell thought she'd pulled peaches from her freezer to make a peach cobbler when she'd actually thawed cow colostrum, used for bottle-fed calves on her family's farm. "Things when they're frozen look a little bit different," says Lovell. "And you think, 'I'll know what this is.'" But you won't be able to identify it once it's frozen and time passes.
Lovell says, "The best jam in the world, I think, is strawberry freezer jam."
To give it a try, follow the recipe below.
Strawberry Freezer Jam
Prep time: 10 minutes. Cook time: 5 minutes. Makes: about five 8-oz jars.
2 C crushed strawberries (approximately 1 qt whole)
4 C granulated sugar
1 (1.75 oz) pkg dry pectin
ľ C water
1. Sterilize jars in boiling water. Dry completely. (Or use freezer-safe plastic containers.)
2. Wash and hull strawberries. Crush in food processor, or with a potato masher, leaving some fruit chunks.
3. Mix strawberries and sugar. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
4. Meanwhile, in small saucepan add ľ C water and stir in pectin.
5. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil and stir 1 minute.
6. Stir boiling pectin into strawberry/sugar mixture, constantly stirring for 3 minutes, until sugar is mostly dissolved.
7. Ladle into jars, allowing ˝-inch headspace for expansion.
8. Wipe rim and threads of jar with a damp cloth.
9. Place lids and rings on jars. Cool to room temperature, then immediately place in freezer (up to 1 year) or refrigerator (up to 3 weeks).
10. Refrigerate to thaw before eating.
Important storage note: Because this jam recipe has not been processed using the boiling water bath method, you need to freeze it or store in the refrigerator; do not place at room temperature or in your pantry.
