Where is 8-Year-Old Sandra Cantu?
She has been missing since Friday.
The mother of an 8-year-old girl who is missing from her Northern California home said she believes her child was abducted.
"I think she was taken, because she would not leave the mobile home park without me -- without calling me," an emotional Maria Chavez told TODAY's Meredith Vieira.
Chavez's daughter, Sandra Cantu, came home after school around 3 on Friday afternoon. She went to a friend's house to play for about an hour before saying she was going back home. She hasn't been seen since.

Sandra was described as a happy and outgoing girl with light brown hair and brown eyes. She is 4 feet tall and weighs 45 pounds. She was last seen wearing a Hello Kitty T-shirt, striped dress and black leggings.
"It is our belief that she is alive and unharmed," said Sgt. Tony Sheneman of the Tracy, Calif., police, who are coordinating a search for the girl with the FBI. More than 200 volunteers combed the trailer park and surrounding area over the weekend, and the search for the girl is ongoing.
What do you think happened to Sandra Cantu?

I pray for her safe return.
My prayers are with her and her family…I hope she comes home safe and sound. Too much of this going around and I don't want to hear another tragic story.
this is what happens when stupid parents let kids wander around neighborhoods alone.
Why call the parents stupid for letting their kids play in their naighborhood?? You cant lock the child up and never let them go play at a friends house! And it is not their fault that there are sicko's out there!
Sandra Cantu's father is down in southern California, is he involved in this?
Well i had a neighbor with a young daughter and we lived in a huge complex and she just let this 8 year old girl wander and do what ever. She'd come to my house to play with my kids then just leave after dark to go back to her apartment. But I NEVER let her do that! The minute she arrived to my house I called her mom and let her know she was at my house then when it was time for her to leave we'd all walk her on home. The only thing is she would go to other peoples houses in the complex and the ywould not walk her home and since there were cars in and out of the complex Ijust did not ever trust that not when it comes to girls. She was hispanic as well and I think culturally they don't believe in cooping kids up in the house…its really a different world these days.
@necole: "She was hispanic as well and I think culturally they don't believe in cooping kids up in the house…"
I am Hispanic and I would NEVER allow my daughter to go alone to my best friend's apartment (which is literally across the hall from me - let alone go to a friend's house in a complex by herself). I'm not going to judge that poor woman, because I cannot even begin to imagine the pain that she's in; however, everyone raises their children differently. I don't believe that the culture of the family had anything to do with what happened here; I just think that sometimes people who think of their neighborhoods as being safe are lulled into forgetting how dangerous the world really is.
I can`t beleve the parants lets her dauter go anywhere.Even when sh went over to that old mans house and he kissd her.But I think the old man was stupid and he probely liked it.And I don`t even know if the mom new if she went over there.And leeting her have long errings and hilited hair.
Why don't you sick judgemental rejects of society lay off these parents- the child is gone isn't that enough.
man i cant believe that someone would ever do something to a child.i mean no heart at all.how would they feel if someone else take something thats dear to your heart……thats a damn shame about these fools that be that cruel
I am so sorry for what this child has been through.No one has the right to hurt or take anyone.But I heard there were at least 80 pedophiles near them and the parents or parent still allowed her to wander around the neighborhood alone?That is child neglect!It is not something that I enjoy saying at all. But why did they allow an eight year old child to roam the streets alone? We see what happens on the news when child go out to play without adult supervision,we even have to be cautious in our own homes.We must always take measurements to protect our families at all times.There were 80 predators who lived near them,this could of been avoided!I feel more sorry for the child then I do for the parents.I'm so sorry for that little girl may the Creator have her in the most holy place(paradise).I wonder if the predators have signs in front of their homes like they should! and I wonder if the people were mailed information about these predators in their neighborhood. These predators have No right to live among us and shop in stores where children are the government needs to have them shop in a government food and clothing store for pedophiles only I'm serious,they don't belong living among us they will only hurt again if given a chance to.The C.I.A. should get rid of them secretly.In the mean time I only hope that parents take better measurements in protecting their families.Don't let this happen to your kids parents.Be over protective and aware of what's around you always every where at all times.Protect your loved ones.
hi im so scared when im hear that sandra cantu is died she is too young for taht i wish who's ver do taht to her is be in jail it doesnt have any scare too god oh god . i wish sandra cantu is not happy. i wish she i live right now
Deanna, you cannot even spell, so why do you think you have any useful insight into anything? You have no clue as to what you are talking about.
Kids are kids, they should be able to express themselves anyway they please (within reason) and not have someone take them and kill them. The fact of the matter is that kids should be allowed to be outside and enjoy their youth; the reality of it is that they simply cannot because there are sick people everywhere. It is a sad thing but so true; children must be protected and those who harm them; executed.
"all the world are suspects";
Bee B I hate to break it to you but a woman did it,not the dad.Get with the program.WAKE UP PEOPLE! There are some sick women outthere,just as sinister as any black/hispanic/"stupid" white male.I mean Casey,Andrae Yates,the odd cases where women rip up another's uterus to steal the baby…lets start putting these sick women in REAL jails, not in mommy daycares.
It is normal for a 8 year old to play at thier friends house. and why not trust a sunday school teacher. If you can trust them you can not trust anyone.It is horrible that the whole world had to learn this lesson this way
In looking at sandra she seemed mighty adult for her age. I believe that she was caught experimenting sexually with her 5 year old little playmate and got caught or the girl told her mother. The mother called herself teaching sandra a lesson by raping her with a foreign object, molesting her and subsequently killing her. Nothing fits but we know she was sexually molested by a woman. I believe Sandra was molesting huckabys little primadonna only child and became outraged.
-sandra…your idea is sick and so screwed up. You can't tell if she was adult or not. Screw off…what seven year old knows how to molest a child…and, not to be rude, but you have no place to be stating this for fact. Lay off…she was a little girl whose life was taken too soon and you have the nerve to say it may have been her fault. Find something else to do with your time and stop accusing children of something so absurd…

Lighting control system
A lighting control system is an intelligent network based lighting control solution that incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to lighting control with the use of one or more central computing devices. Lighting control systems are widely used on both indoor and outdoor lighting of commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. Lighting control systems serve to provide the right amount of light where and when it is needed.[1]
Lighting control systems are employed to maximize the energy savings from the lighting system, satisfy building codes, or comply with green building and energy conservation programs. Lighting control systems are often referred to under the term Smart Lighting.
Lighting controls vs. Lighting control systems[edit]
The term lighting controls is typically used to indicate stand-alone control of the lighting within a space. This may include occupancy sensors, timeclocks, and photocells that are hard-wired to control fixed groups of lights independently. Adjustment occurs manually at each devices location. The efficiency of and market for residential lighting controls has been characterized by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency.[2]
The term lighting control system refers to an intelligent networked system of devices related to lighting control. These devices may include relays, occupancy sensors, photocells, light control switches or touchscreens, and signals from other building systems (such as fire alarm or HVAC). Adjustment of the system occurs both at device locations and at central computer locations via software programs or other interface devices.
The major advantage of a lighting control system over stand-alone lighting controls or conventional manual switching is the ability to control individual lights or groups of lights from a single user interface device. This ability to control multiple light sources from a user device allows complex lighting scenes to be created. A room may have multiple scenes pre-set, each one created for different activities in the room. A major benefit of lighting control systems is reduced energy consumption. Longer lamp life is also gained when dimming and switching off lights when not in use. Wireless lighting control systems provide additional benefits including reduced installation costs and increased flexibility over where switches and sensors may be placed.[3]
Automated Control[edit]
Lighting control systems typically provide the ability to automatically adjust a lighting device's output based on:
- Chronological time (time of day)
- Astronomical time (sunrise/sunset)
- Occupancy using occupancy sensors
- Daylight availability using photocells
- Alarm conditions
- Program logic (combination of events)
Chronological time[edit]
Chronological time schedules incorporate specific times of the day, week, month, or year.
Astronomical time[edit]
Astronomical time schedules incorporate sunrise and sunset times, often used to switch outdoor lighting. Astronomical time scheduling requires that the location of the building be set. This is accomplished using the building's geographic location via either latitude and longitude or by picking the nearest city in a given database giving the approximate location and corresponding astronomical times.
Space occupancy is primarily determined with occupancy sensors.
Daylight availability[edit]
Electric lighting energy use can be adjusted by automatically dimming and/or switching electric lights in response to the level of available daylight. Reducing the amount of electric lighting used when daylight is available is known as daylight harvesting.
Alarm conditions[edit]
Alarm conditions typically include inputs from other building systems such as the fire alarm or HVAC system, which may trigger an emergency 'all lights on' command for example.
Program logic[edit]
Program logic can tie all of the above elements together using constructs such as if-then-else statements and logical operators.
Theatrical lighting control[edit]
Architectural lighting control systems can integrate with a theater's on-off and dimmer controls, and are often used for house lights and stage lighting, and can include worklights, rehearsal lighting, and lobby lighting. Control stations can be placed in several locations in the building and range in complexity from single buttons that bring up preset options-looks, to in-wall or desktop LCD touchscreen consoles. Much of the technology is related to residential and commercial lighting control systems.
The benefit of architectural lighting control systems in the theater is the ability for theater staff to turn worklights and house lights on and off without having to use a lighting control console. Alternately, the light designer can control these same lights with light cues from the lighting control console so that, for instance, the transition from houselights being up before a show starts and the first light cue of the show is controlled by one system.

I love you tumblr but…
you're going to want to check it out :)
- November 4 2010 | 1 Notes - Read More →
you're going to want to check it out :)
hello all, i feel like such a terrible blogger for posting so few and far between, but with the holidays approaching there should be lots of things to post about and lots of projects i shall update you on!
so here's a little project i've been working on the past three days.
i've been meaning to fix my serger (it's such a pain to rethread!) but until that happens i'll have to switch it up a bit and do something other than sewing projects.
i started knitting when i was younger, i think middle school. silly enough, i used to take my knitting projects from class to class (especially math, it was so boring), and make scarves during lectures. i'm surprised no teacher of mine ever minded, but surprisingly it helped me to focus.
one of my favorite things to do in the fall it to knit while cuddled up in a blanket and watching a good movie. the knitting goes by so much faster because i'm focusing on something else, plus i feel productive by the time it ends. how perfect :)
all that to say, i've been working on this blanket for the winter and 7 rolls of yarn later and i've still have maybe 7 more rolls to go through. this is going to be a big thick blanket!
i love love neutrals. (craft supply packaging can look so outdated haha)
i started out knitting the blanket, but it didn't have the look i wanted. this yarn is "super bulky", so in order for it not to be thick and stiff, i needed to do something different.
this is my first attempt at crocheting, it's used a lot in blanket making because you can make a larger stitch, or like those "holes" you see in blankets. it only uses one needle, as opposed to two long knitting needles. i've never crocheted before, so i just looked up some youtube videos and it was just that easy…maybe almost easier than knitting, eventully it becomes second nature.
i have quite a bit to go, but i just wanted to show you my progress so far…it's going to be a cold winter, you should make a blanket for yourselves ;)
yes autumn weather is the best thing ever. side by side with spring (i just can't choose!) it is my favorite season…but one thing is for sure, autumn means fall clothing…and it just doesn't get any better than that.
velveteen blazer
with elbow patches…eee!
jersey with elbow patches…i must be really into them right now
short handmade jersey… i really this whole cropped sweater idea..and the chunky knit look
strapless wool dress…i love anything grey and wool.
tea party dress
everyday knit leggings…love these
leather background booties
sweatshirt sweater…perfect basic
from indie designer 80%20
elliotte toggle booties…these are really unique and i'm really liking them. i'm all for independent designers (hope to be one in the near future), and these wool booties would be great for fall.
rachel comey contributor satchel…i love rachel comey…and this bag.
knot ear warmer
those are just a few fall essentials i really love out there.
hey all, i know all you out there just love to network like i do, especially us bloggers…check out dailybooth.com, a photoblogging website where you can document "your life in pictures" to share with others. pretty neat eh eh. it's been growing like crazy, so check it out for yourself.
i use dailybooth too
happy posting.
im so sorry for the lack of posts most recently!
i've been super busy saving up for this beauty, which i just bought!
my juki serger ( a similar model above )
if you know how tedious it is to make every seam look nice & clean on a regular sewing machine, you'll know this beauty was worth every penny!
it may just look like a piece of metal to you (which is precisely what it is :) ),but if i ever hope to sell anything which is my goal, this machine is exactly what i need!
here's a little pic of what it does
cuts and sews simultaneously to create seams. love it!
anyways, i promised you projects, so i will deliver! (you'll have to wait a little while till i do a photoshoot of recent work)
just a really basic skirt with pleating. i love it for layering and charlotte is finally starting to enter autumn (it's been raining non stop!)
it's all fresh and crisp (the skirt & the weather) thanks to the help of my serger… & the weather..channel?
let me know what you think!
take care! happy posting!
-m for the quail stitch.
some of my favorite looks.

A few of the many reasons for the growing popularity of wine. Some wine facts, a little bit of history and wine reviews from an amateur wine lover for the amateur wine lovers

The Perfect "Tailgating" Wine.
Tonight I opened a perfect wine for that tailgate experience, or in other words, "very cheap" (but good); a Concha Y Toro Xplorador Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 ($8)
*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks at Banfi Vintners.
The aromas are a bit suspect. Lots of lacquer and some leather. Smelled like I was about to lacquer some new oak boards and instead lacquered my leather recliner. Kept trying to get a little fruit, so I just swirled and swirled to no avail. Did get some chocolate, I guess. Not much, but a welcome aroma.
The wine was completely different in the mouth. Lots of blackberry and lots of dark plum with a very light hint of spice and a little black currant. Some tannin and not as intense as what I usually like in a Cab/Sauv. A short but tasty finish that went very well with a few bites of extra sharp cheddar.
A nice medium body wine that will go very well on Saturday afternoons, or Sunday for you Pro fans while grilling up the pre game meal. Perfect for the plastic wine glass and the grilled beef or chicken served in your favorite parking lot. Wonder if this is on hand before each "Futbol" game in Chile.

Thank you for that review. We had a nice wine (Senorio de los LLanos - Valdepenas) with steak tips while watching the Patriots win on Sunday against San Diego. My husband is a Penn stater so we watch them also. I enjoy your writing style - very unpretentious. My price range for wine is on the low side (under $15) but I always find something good. We have a blog about New England Vineyards. If you ever review their wines, we would love to link or reprint. We find quite a few that are excellent. Its thegrowingvine. Thank you, Nancy

Thank you Nancy for the comment. Not a big Pats fan, but do like any team that consistently beats the Jets and the Dolphins.
Visited "The GrowingVine" Nice to have info on the New England area wineries. May get there in the next year. Do you have any favorite New England wine and winery?

Jean Peters: biography of a forgotten leading lady October 16, 2007Posted by jackal in : Films, Film Noir , trackback
I first came across Jean Peters in Henry Hathaway's Niagara a few years ago. It was among the films in my Marilyn Monroe: The Diamond Collection boxset, and looked like a decent little thriller. Before long, though, I'd forgotten all about Ms Monroe; the dark-haired, green-eyed second female lead had caught me eye. Who the hell is that and why haven't I seen her before? I thought. It's perhaps not surprising that I'd never heard of Jean, since she and many other actresses of her time are today forgotten by all but us film buffs. Peters is at a further disadvantage for two reasons: she retired at 29, and did so to marry Howard Hughes. Thus her filmography is comparatively small, her tally of notable films can almost be counted on one hand, and on the rare occasions that she is mentioned it's usually merely with reference to Mr Hughes and her place in his curious life.
As I watched more of Peters' movies I started to become a real fan and, partly because I could find literally nothing beyond the most basic details of her life and career, I found myself becoming more interested. This led somewhat circuitously to the current piece on jackal's film corner. On a whim a couple of months ago, I decided that if it's so difficult to find anything substantial on Peters, I'd pen something myself. So I set out to find as much material as possible: obituaries from reliable newspapers archived on the net, lots and lots (and lots) of additional online research, a whole bunch of print articles (it's amazing what you can find on ebay), as well as Raymond Strait's long out-of-print 1971 biography Mrs Howard Hughes. I weighed it all up, filtered out anything that didn't tally, and laid the results out in my own words. It also goes without saying that I tracked down and watched as many of her films as possible (everything from her Fox years; later TV movies and the like proved more difficult to locate). The following piece is not intended to be exhaustive, nor impressive; some sections are more detailed than others, depending on how many sources and how much detail I could find (and if anybody knows more - or better - than me, please say so). This is merely a pet project, an attempt to put the pieces of Jean Peters' life together into a reasonably complete and coherent picture. It's something that I've been working on intermittently for a while (see, Mr Jukes, I told you I'd finish it!), for nobody's amusement but my own, and here seems as good a place as any for it to end up.
Big thanks to Carole for some of the photos that appear below.
Elizabeth Jean Peters was born in Canton, Ohio on October 15, 1926. She was 10 and her sister Shirley just a toddler when their father died and Jean's mother opened a tourist camp alongside the family farm to earn a living. Jean soon became adept at DIY and working around the house, a trait that would stick with her even after fame struck. Growing up on a farm in small-town America, she could easily have ended up living an anonymous life as a school teacher, were it not for a friend's casual act: when she was 20, studying to be a teacher at Ohio University, Jean's roommate secretly entered her photo into the State Beauty Contest. Jean won, but apparently wasn't interested in the prize: a screen test for 20th Century-Fox. Nevertheless she ended up travelling with her mother to Hollywood, where she reportedly caught the eye of Darryl F. Zanuck and was signed to a contract without even filming the test. Despite frequent clashes with her bosses, Fox would remain her home studio for the next decade.
After the whirlwind events that swept her west, Jean's first few months in Hollywood were an anticlimax: a dull routine of publicity work and screen tests. It was only when scheduling conflicts prevented Linda Darnell from taking the female lead in Captain from Castile that Jean got her big break. The young college student suddenly found herself starring in a lavish Technicolor period adventure alongside superstar Tyrone Power. "When I first met him he seemed like some kind of god," she later confessed. Despite a complete lack of acting experience, Peters handled the role admirably, impressing the powers-that-be, and a film career was born.
Captain from Castile would influence Peters' career for the next few years: she was such a perfect fit as the film's headstrong and fiery Spanish love interest that the studio tried to cast her in similarly strong, colourful female parts. At first Jean resisted being marketed as a sex symbol. Raised a Methodist and still influenced by her mother's views (she was only 21) she refused, among others, the Anne Baxter part in Yellow Sky deeming it "too sexy". That caused the first of several suspensions. Jean's tomboy personality also frustrated the studio's publicity department. She dressed in jeans and sneakers on the Fox lot, abhorred the colour pink, wore little or no makeup and lunched on empty sets with her dresser or makeup girl to avoid the tourist groups that prowled the commissary.
Especially in those early days, Jean was conscious of her inexperience as an actor, and sought advice from her more established co-stars. Recognition as a serious actress was what she craved most, but would never attain because, quite honestly, she wasn't a 'great' actress. She was, though, always believeable, able to adapt to a wide range of parts and genres. She also brought a natural passion and fiery spirit to all her performances, and more than a little sex appeal. Among her film crews she earned a reputation as a hard worker. An early riser, she could get by on four or five hours sleep a night, and was known as the most punctual star on the lot. There, the studio-favoured nicknames of Jeannie or Liz were ignored; she was "Pete" to everyone, and universally liked. Columnist Cobina Wright said, "I never knew Jean to have a feud with anyone." In his biography of the actress Raymond Strait similarly remarks that "in all the research and planning that went into this book, no one ever had an unkind word to say of Miss Peters, and that is unusual." Her circle of friends at this time included the likes of Joseph Cotten, David Niven, Ray Milland, Marie McDonald, and Marilyn Monroe. Her best friend was fellow Fox contract player Jeanne Crain, only a year her senior, with whom Jean remained close for years.
The Hollywood party scene was not Jean's; she enjoyed dining out, attending the opera, or small parties, but avoided publicity-friendly events like the plague - acting was fun, but she hated the idea of being a 'celebrity' and all that it entailed. "I've been to only one premiere," she declared proudly in 1955, and on that occasion she even made her own evening gown. Fashioning her own clothes was a hobby born out of necessity in her youth, and one which which she continued in Hollywood. She had a talent for it, even writing articles on dress-making for the movie magazines. Fame didn't make Jean frivolous with money, either. She lived for some time in a modest apartment that she liked because it was close to the studio, and saved much of her paychecks, investing the money in real estate. Between movie shoots she went horse riding, painted (friends said she was quite good) and was a passionate baseball fan. At home Jean followed the Cleveland Indians, but out west, ten years before the Dodgers would bring major league baseball to L.A., she adopted the minor league Hollywood Stars as her team and kept a private box at Gilmore Stadium.
Offscreen, Peters embodied many of the characteristics of the Hawksian woman, even down to the masculine nickname, and it's a pity she never worked with Hawks himself. Margaret Sheridan's role in The Thing from Another World springs to mind as one that would have been ideal for Peters, but he also made several movies at Fox during her tenure and the only one that would have been an obvious mismatch is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - Peters hated dancing on-screen, and even after singing lessons couldn't carry much of a tune. Surprisingly, when she did agree to a choreographed dance sequence in Love that Brute (1950), the end product (a dubbed rendering of "You Took Advantage of Me") was slick and entertaining - thanks to the wonders of YouTube, I've uploaded it here if you want to check it out. Nevertheless, it was something the actress was never comfortable with, and largely avoided.
After Captain from Castile Jean slimmed down to a trim 125lbs and got solid if unspectacular work in the likes of Deep Waters (1948) and It Happens Every Spring (1949), the latter playing into her real-life passion for baseball. She also wanted to go blonde for the picture, but was overruled by director Lloyd Bacon. The afore-mentioned Love that Brute (1950) was the best of her films from this period, pairing her effectively with Paul Douglas in a warm comedy about a good-natured gangster and the nightclub singer he romances. However, it was as Anne of the Indies the following year that Peters came into her element. The role of the tough, swashbuckling pirate captain was perfect for the tomboy actress, with Jean relishing the chance to dress up as a pirate and embody a larger-than-life character. Though the film ultimately falls short of fulfilling its potential, her glee at portraying such an appealing bad girl pervades every scene.
After this, her films began to rise in stature: she was the wife of Marlon Brando's Mexican revolutionary in the Oscar-winning Viva Zapata! (1952), second lead in Niagara (1953) with Joseph Cotten and Marilyn Monroe, and scored a plum role in Samuel Fuller's desperate film noir masterpiece Pickup on South Street (1953). Peters gave a raw, punchy performance, arguably her best, as Candy, the ex-hooker who becomes involved with Richard Widmark's cynical pickpocket Skip McCoy.
The noir trend continued, although the films themselves were inferior: Vicki, a by-the-numbers remake of I Wake Up Screaming, at least gave her a glamorous starring role as a society model and the chance to work again with Jeanne Crain. A Blueprint for Murder re-united her with another pal, Joseph Cotten, but in an implausible, flat thriller that played off elements of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, to only a fraction of the effect.
Jean was by now unquestionably a star, if not quite among the front rank. When Jeanne Crain proved unavailable for Fox's lavish new CinemaScope romance Three Coins in the Fountain, Peters was ushered in. Ironically, while the film turned out to be the most popular of her career, Peters' role was among the weakest she ever played. Surrounded by gorgeous Italian locations and wrapped up in Victor Young's lush music, Jean didn't actually have much to do but look pretty in Technicolor. That, at least, was easily accomplished.
Next up for Jean were back-to-back westerns. She was loaned to United Artists for Apache, which saw her made-up as a rather unconvincing American Indian opposite Burt Lancaster. While filming in high winds, she remarked to director Robert Aldrich, "make sure you pan with my wig when it blows off". Back at Fox, she was cast in another top-flight CinemaScope production, Edward Dmytryk's Broken Lance (1954), during which there were rumours of a fling with co-star Robert Wagner (in his recent autobiography, Wagner says that their friendship never turned romantic).
Jean's next film, A Man Called Peter (1955), generated some of her best reviews yet, but it was to be her last. Put on suspension again for refusing roles, Peters decided she was through with movies when long-time suitor Howard Hughes finally agreed to marriage.
Jean Peters and Howard Hughes first met, according to most accounts, at an Independence Day party in July 1946, shortly before Hughes' near-fatal crash while piloting the XF-11. Ditching her date Audie Murphy, the farm girl from Ohio fell immediately for the charming Hughes, and they apparently began seeing each other very quietly. This caused consternation at Fox, whose publicity department desperately wanted to play up notions of a Hughes romance to enhance her public profile. Jean, though, insisted on her privacy and for the time being the studio relented. For Hughes the appeal in Jean was her natural beauty and lack of pretence, as well as the fact that she clearly didn't need him; when he was in town they would go out for dinner, maybe see a show, but Jean was otherwise happy to continue her life without him, even managing to turn a blind eye to his dalliances with other actresses and the constant 'spies' that Hughes sent to watch over and keep tabs on her.
Eventually, however, Hughes' reluctance to commit to their relationship frustrated Peters enough to consider life away from him. In August 1953 Peters was on a flight home from Rome, where she had been on location for Three Coins in the Fountain. At the Paris stop-off, oil executive Stuart Cramer III boarded the plane and sat opposite Jean in first class. The pair hit it off immediately, and upon her arrival in LA, Jean gave Howard Hughes an ultimatum: marriage - or else, even confessing as much to Three Coins director Jean Negulesco. When Hughes still refused to commit, she began seeing Cramer, and romance blossomed. They dated for several months before marrying on May 29th 1954.
I suppose it's worth mentioning that some make a rather far-fetched claim regarding this time: namely that during 1953 or 1954, Jean gave birth to the illegitimate son of Howard Hughes. Given her nearly unbroken filming schedule through this period (from Vicki to Three Coins to Apache to Broken Lance, to her marriage to Stuart Cramer just a few weeks later), as well as her unwaveringly slim figure on-screen, it must have been the shortest and most invisible pregnancy in history. In addition, over 50 years later, no such child has appeared, so I think we can safely put such stories in the dustbin reserved for the likes of Walt Disney's frozen head and Ida Lupino's wig.
The Cramer-Peters marriage was not to last, though. Hughes was jealous and may well have actively sought to break up the union. After 33 days the couple separated, and Hughes attempted to reconcile with Peters, while also hurrying along divorce proceedings against Cramer. But Jean didn't sign the papers, and when Cramer tracked her down in Miami, they got back together for the next few months. Jean went back to Fox and starred in A Man Called Peter that autumn, apparently choosing the film on the recommendation of her new mother-in-law, who had been a parishioner of the real-life Rev. Peter Marshall, upon whose life the film was based.
Despite the relatively brief reunion, the marriage faltered in 1956 and Peters, once again on suspension from Fox for her 'difficult' behaviour, went back to Hughes. When the Cramer divorce became final in December 1956, Hughes and Peters married just days later in January 1957. Jean's friend, the gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, was gifted the story.
Jean acquiesced to her husband's desire for privacy and not only quit movies - much to the dismay of Fox, her friends, and fans - but also studiously avoided the public eye in any way. For the first couple of years the couple lived together in California, but as Hughes became increasingly reclusive and suspicious of outsiders, he moved to his Las Vegas penthouse and left Jean alone in a grand home in Bel Air. She would fly out occasionally on weekends, but was otherwise left to her own devices.
Jean had always been wise with her money, but suddenly finding herself the bored wife of a billionaire, she developed a taste for shopping. She frequented the high class boutiques in Beverly Hills, often buying numerous outfits, only to forget all about them until a courier showed up on her doorstep with an armful of packages. A friend from her days at Fox bumped into her in a store and had to politely decline the outrageously expensive dresses Jean tried to buy for her.
Jean would go out to shows when she visited Vegas, but her husband never came along. Accompanied by friends, she would sit at the best tables, but was seldom recognised, "unless one of my movies had been on TV the night before". Back in California she would go to a ballgame or the opera with friends, Hughes' invisible bodyguards always trailing quietly behind.
By the mid 1960s Jean was so stifled by solitary life that she went back to college for something to occupy her time, enrolling for classes at UCLA under her real name of Elizabeth Peters. Dressing casually and wearing sunglasses whenever possible, she got by for several months, ranking among the top students in her class, before an anonymous tip alerted reporters and she had to drop out. By this time her contact with Hughes was mostly by telephone; the marriage existed only on paper. Finally, Jean filed for divorce.
The precipitating factor for this seems to have been Jean's involvement with Fox executive Stanley Hough, whom she first met on Captain from Castile in 1947, when he was an assitant cameraman. They had known each other, on and off, ever since (he worked also on Three Coins in the Fountain and most probably other films with Jean). When the Hughes divorce came through in June 1971, she was awarded $70,000 a year for life, to be adjusted for cost of living increases. In return, although Hughes didn't insist on a confidentiality agreement, Jean promised not to talk to the press. She never did, telling Newsweek only that "my life with Howard Hughes was and shall remain a matter on which I will have no comment". Hughes' aides said that Jean was one of the few people he was never heard to bad-mouth.
A year after her divorce from Hughes, Jean and Stanley Hough were married. She decided to return to acting, but Hollywood had moved on in the 20 years since her Fox contract, and she found it impossible to shed her identity as Mrs Howard Hughes. Her first reappearance was on TV, in Winesburg, Ohio (1973), and generated a level of press interest out of all proportion to the relatively insignificant production. "I'm not so naive as to think your only reason to be here is your interest in my career," she remarked to the attendant press.
Shortly before his death in 1976, Hughes sent Jean a letter claiming he had always loved her, but second-hand platitudes were no substitute for fifteen years of a largely empty marriage. Jean subsequently returned to acting only occasionally, instead concentrating mostly on charity work. She also returned to college, finally getting the teaching degree that had eluded her all those years earlier. She intended to make use of it in the classroom, but never found the opportunity in the end.
Jean made her last screen appearance in a 1988 episode of Murder She Wrote. At 62, she had aged gracefully, and was perfectly cast as a reclusive ex-movie star, in a story that made much use of her old publicity photos and memorabilia for verisimilitude. It wasn't a high-class exit - Murder She Wrote is hardly the pinnacle of TV drama - but was somewhat nostalgic nonetheless.
Following the death of spouse Stanley Hough in 1990, Peters left Beverly Hills and moved to Carlsbad, California, to be near her younger sister Shirley. In her early days Jean had spoken optimistically about her future: a long marriage, eventually children perhaps, much like her friend Jeanne Crain enjoyed, but it didn't work out that way. She gave interviews only rarely in her later years, but on one occasion, talking about her childhood, confessed, "I liked my small town. I often wonder what my life would have been like if I had remained there." Jean died on October 13th, 2000, two days shy of her seventy-fourth birthday, and is buried next to her third husband in Culver City, Los Angeles.

Very interesting reading - thanks for putting this together. I only know her mostly from Pickup on South Street, but she's obviously great in it (and strikingly good-looking). Even though I have it on DVD, it's been awhile since I've watched Niagara. Now I'll have to fit that in the schedule soon.
Given how anxious everyone would have been to find out about her life with Hughes, it's admirable that she never put out an autobiography tell-all. It doesn't seem that she capitalized on their relationship, unlike my impression of Terry Moore. The same Stuart Cramer also married both women, as well, right? Very strange, if that's the case.
- 2. jackal - October 17, 2007
Good point you make there - I vaguely remember reading about Cramer and Moore marrying later, now that you mention it. One of those funny cases of changing partners, like Gable/Harlow & Powell/Lombard. I did also find a mention of Stuart Cramer quietly landing in a top job at a Hughes-run company after he divorced Peters, but it wasn't backed up by anything else so I left it out of the piece.
- 3. cstiffl1 - August 12, 2008
thank you so much for making this page. some information i can lend you is Jean grew up in (what was then known as) Mapleton, Ohio a suburb of canton, oh and she graduated from East Canton High School. the reason I know this is because that is where I graduated from. I still live in East Canton and I have always been interested in Jean Peters being the only famous person from our very small high school. I always remember looking at her graduating class photo on the walls at the school feeling a sense of pride. I will try to find out more information or facts from her childhood.
- 4. jackal - August 12, 2008
Thanks for the comment, and the info - anything extra is always of interest.
- 5. oldmovienut - February 23, 2009
I'm new to this and having trouble leaving comments. So please excuse me if this gets on here twice, since I'm trying again because the first one didn't seem to "take".
Anyhow, as a new Jean Peters fan, I'm glad to see this page. Nice to know someone is interested in finding and sharing accurate information about her! As you say, accurate info is not easy to find. I hope you'll keep it updated as you find more information!
- 6. jackal - February 24, 2009
Thanks, I'm glad the piece was of interest. Even though I haven't updated this blog for a while now, it's nice to see that the Jean Peters piece still gets regular hits, thanks chiefly to whichever kind soul linked me to her Wikipedia page. I did get one highly amusing comment (which I declined to publish) a little while ago, from some conspiracy nut, who argued rather passionately (and most illegibly) that Jean did, in fact, give birth to Howard Hughes' secret illegitimate child in the 50s, and that this mystery babyboomer (they were a little vague on where or who this person might be) is only a DNA test away from fame. Gave me a laugh over my morning coffee, anyway.
- 7. elventryst - June 13, 2009
Thanks for the interesting bio. I just stumbled across your entry when searching for info about Jean Peters. I had never heard of her, but just came across a Photoplay magazine from October 1948 that included a reader poll for actress that was most likely to become a star (I scanned bits of the article here: http://elventryst.blogspot.com/2009/06/looky-what-i-found.html). Coming in at number one, was a Jean Peters– an actress I had never heard of despite my affinity for old films. Thanks for doing the research and posting this– I must go watch her films now.
- 8. jackal - June 14, 2009
Glad you liked the piece - it's nice to see people still stumbling across it even now. While I'm here, it's worth saying for everyone's benefit that I've recently given the article a little spring clean, and added a few new photos, too.
- 9. DREAMY PHOTOS | ♥♥♥KING OF WORLD♥♥♥ - December 20, 2011
[…] There is actually very little information available on this very talented but mostly forgotten actress. If she is known at all, it is as the wife of billionaire nut-case Howard Hughes.

With so many different varieties and sub-genres of horror movies, it's inevitable for directors to push the boundaries of what is good and holy, exploring uncharted territories others ignored for a reason. I'm talking real boundary pushers, made up of nothing but sick ideas and twisted fantasies, or films created with the worst of intentions, and even less cinematic value. But when you think about it, there's always going to be that one guy who lives to one-up everyone, even if it demands shock-value entertainment sending mainstream viewers into a tizzy of protesting, and you can imagine just how messed up the seediest horror movies can become given how exploitative mainstream films themselves are becoming. These films, almost forcing viewers to hate them right off the bat, are nothing but guilty pleasures for the most corrupted of minds, but hell, people still make them, so someone has to be watching, right?
Look at The Human Centipede for example. I know I harp on it a lot, but a movie about ass-to-mouth isn't that hard to single out. Anyway, director Tom Six created a cult guilty pleasure by dragging the "torture porn" genre even deeper into the murky waters of disgusting filmmaking by sewing people together and having them eat poop, something viewers couldn't look away from yet just had to experience for themselves. My opinion was not very high of the "originality," but low and behold, a sequel was made. Now, no matter how f#cked up a movie is, if it produces revenue, you damn well better expect a sequel, and for all the people hating on Six's film, a second was a no brainer. So who the hell was watching this film and begging for another, yet not telling anyone? That right there, my friends, is a definite guilty pleasure.
But really, who watches a ton of this crap? Bad cinema is bad cinema, why bother sifting through? Who is crazy enough to submerge themselves in F-Grade productions and even worse ideas? You're damn right those people are Remy and I. Surprised? Right, shouldn't have even asked. But c'mon, whether you publicize it or not, everyone has that guilty pleasure movie they refuse to admit love for, yet go home and watch it every night before they go to sleep. I mean, what about those dreadful people addicted to Lifetime specials?! Are false romantic hopes and shameless tugging of people's heartstrings any better than movies about man-eating beds and killer vegetables?! I think not, but even so, Remy and I were reluctant to open up and reveal what terrible, awful, disgusting, and laughable films we still stand behind. You with me, Remy?
Hells yeah. Sometimes I like the worst things the best. Trashy woman, cheap drugs, burgers that are bad for me, and movies that are even worse. Sometimes, a film can be SO bad, it transcends bad and becomes awesome. Let's not pretend any of us are driving Jaguars (the animal, not the car) and are the most well bred people on Earth. No, sometimes even the best and brightest of us just want to shut off our brains, and nothing does that better than a terrible film. I mean, even the worst bl*wjob is better than no bl*wjob, right? Well, not if she bites, but I digress, that's for a whole different list…Next
Remy – Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010)
When Birdemic begins, it's like you are watching your least charismatic friends in a movie they made on a flip phone. Every single thing about it is terrible. The acting is so bad, you cringe when the lead and his love interest (who I won't even name here because that is how little it matters) interact. Honestly, for forty five minutes you will have no idea why it is called Birdemic. It could just be called "Awkward As F*ck", but suddenly, for no reason about halfway through the movie, the actors start getting attacked by clip art birds. In that glorious moment, the film goes from bad to Godly.
I know you had to read that a few times, and yes, it says clip art. That is really the quality displayed here. Oh, and the as-subtle-as-a-moose-kick-to-the-dick pro-nature message is absolutely as contrived and silly as film making gets. Honestly, even if you set out to make a "horror" film, and decided to film the whole thing using a potato, that film would realistically be better than Birdemic. But guess what? Whenever I get a chance to watch it, I watch the SHIT out of it. It is like watching a ninety minute lego-train-wreck. You know how sometimes bad art is awesome? Yes, this is like that. And that "Hanging Out With My Family" song/dance scene in the middle of the movie may just be the best thing ever made, ever, anywhere. Again, ever. There is a part 2 now, but you DON'T make sequels to cult films. You just don't do it. You can't form shit into gold twice. Hell, once is hard enough.
Nato – Feast II: Sloppy Seconds (2008)
Alright, so here's the thing – I love Feast. I love Feast with all my little horror obsessed heart. I love it so much, I just went out and blindly bought Feast II: Sloppy Seconds the day it was released, counting it's arrival down like the second coming on Christ. So, that fateful day I ran to the local FYE, grabbed a copy at full price, raced home, and watched it – again loving every single ridiculous minute. Then I showed it to my equally enthusiastic horror friends, but did not receive the reaction I expected – hate. No one else really liked the film, saying Gulager dropped the ball and I was just brainwashed from the first, but I didn't buy it. So I watched it again, and still enjoyed Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan's break from Saw, while fully admitting glaring faults. The ending culminated in an embarrassing green-screen shootout that was visually hard to ignore, weak CGI replaced some practical effect from the first, and our characters were more cartoonish, but I still lost myself in the horror fun Melton and Dunstan managed to carry over from the original. I mean, midget Luchador monster killers? Honey Pie fantasizing about the beer guy (Judah Friedlander) from the original? An autopsy scene with gallons of monster goo? It's dumb, silly, stupid fun, just the way I want my horror movies every now and then.Previous Next
Remy – Waxwork (1988)
Okay, so what you have here is an 80s horror movie that is an homage to 50s horror movies – and S&M. No, really, there is a great deal of S&M in this film. That is part of what makes this pleasure a bit guilty. Waxwork was about a group of teens (in their thirties, as was always the case with 80s horror) who get invited to a wax museum where – wait for it, people – the exhibits come to life. Well, it's not that simple. Actually, you have to be INCREDIBLY stupid and cross over the velvet rope into the exhibit, and the exhibit becomes real in the sense that you are in it. For example, one kid goes into a werewolf scene and, wouldn't you know it, some werewolf stuff goes down. Cue a few other sets, and a few other creatures and scenarios (including the "slut girl" from every 80s movie finding herself in a Marquis De Sade scenario, with whips and all). Thing is, when I was younger, a horror movie that has a bunch of horror movies in them was the ultimate thing to me, I loved it. Now I can see it for the cheese it is, but in the same breath, I can see it as the precursor to Cabin In The Woods. Watch the final fifteen minutes of Waxwork and tell me I'm wrong, I dare you.
Nato – Feast III: The Happy Finish (2009)
Oh, you bet your ass I kept watching Gulager's horror/comedy franchise even as a straight-to-DVD threequal was released, this time promising an end to insanity. And seriously, if you haven't seen these movies, here's the gist – a bunch of fornicating animal/beast/alien/monster hybrid creatures basically f@ck their way to global domination, birthing new hell-spawns to cover even more ground. Our characters are stuck in the middle, meeting one stereotypical horror personality after another, as Gulager attempts to Wes Craven the hell out of the horror genre and bring us EXACTLY what we think wouldn't happen. Except, by film three, we now expect the unexpected, and initial shocks and awes lose all meaning. But still, even with that bummer, I STILL enjoyed a final Feast, especially with the inclusion of comedian Josh Blue, the funniest person with cerebral palsy I've ever listened to. No, really, I'm not being a dick, he won Season 4 of Last Comic Standing - the dude is hilarious and a wonderful addition to Gulager's world. There's not doubt Feast III: The Happy Finish dips in quality, as the concept gets thinner with each film, but gah, I still enjoyed it! More gore, more stupidity, more silly character introductions, more, more, more! But to finish it all off, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan scripted the PERFECT ending to their unique horror franchise, literally ending in the most absurd, unthinkable, out-of-left-field way Feast could have imagined to end. I don't care, I love all these films, and I'll shout it from the rooftops – as long as the background isn't that terrible green-screen from Feast II: Sloppy Seconds.Previous Next
Remy – Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977)
Okay, much like Birdemic, people can argue that this film WANTED to be bad, but at times it is really hard to tell if it's being serious or being a send up, and that is why I love it. I mean, it is bad, real bad, like, some of the worst acting and "scares" you have ever seen – but then there seem to be scenes of genuine cruelty and creepiness. Yet, ten minutes later, the bed takes some Pepto Bismal to wash down all the people it has eaten. It's that sort of mindf*ckery that makes this film such a joy for me. Does it know it sucks and is embracing that? Was it trying to be creepy with some laughs thrown in? I have seen the movie ten times and still can't tell you. I can tell you this, though – it is incredibly hard to look away from. There is just something inherently watchable about a bed that eats people. Well, not eats in so much as slow dissolves painlessly into a yellow foam. Which, again, messes with your head, because that is actually accurate. When you melt someone down in acid or other such caustic chemicals, there really is only a layer of yellow foam left. That is the fat in their body, congealing. I know this because I have three blue barrels in my basement, all about 150 gallons each. If you opened those barrels, you would see a rusty colored liquid, with an inch of yellow foam floating on top of each one.
I mean, Death Bed is funny-tastic!
*Goes down to basement.
Nato – Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
Alright, could this really be a guilty pleasures list without a Troma produced film directed by Lloyd Kaufman? Originally I was going to throw the Chidos brothers' Killer Klowns From Outer Space on here, but I feel like that's the go-to guilty pleasure pick for a ton of horror fans. Then I was going to go with a Toxic Avenger film, because he rules, but right before writing I noticed Netflix finally threw a film on Watch Instantly I'd been waiting to watch for a while – Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. Why? HA! We'll, for starters, it's Troma, so you know there will be nothing tame about it. Secondly, let me explain the premise – a fried chicken chain is built on an ancient Indian burial ground, the chicken becomes infected, and the town turns into feathered chicken zombies. To those sane readers, I understand I just lost you, but to those still with me, believe me when I say Poultrygeist is a clucking good time.
Sure, admittedly the film takes a little while to really ramp up brutal Troma-style visual gore and debauchery, as the beginning is full of awkward nudity, extremely silly backstory material, and raunchy musical numbers about sex. Yes, I just said musical numbers, one of which includes Lloyd Kaufman himself. Why? Fun fact, Kaufman always wanted to work on Broadway, but as you can see, that little plan never actually hatched, so here he injects some of his musical love into a gore-filled zombie knock off which pushes the boundaries of all we deem sacred and untouchable. There's no sense to it while offensively stereotyping races, centers around possessed fried chicken, exploits nudity and crudeness for cheap laughs and shock value scenes, becomes downright vile and repulsive, features a long stretch of nothing but blood-splattering, limb-ripping, people eating chicken zombie violence on an epic level – and that's why we love it. This is a pure F-Movie that somehow rises above the rest to solid B-Movie glory. For the record, I didn't officially warm up to Kaufman's chicken-zombie extravaganza until the first death scene, but just know I fell in love from that moment on. Patience is a virtue, especially when bleeding broom-penises are involved. Annnnnd boom. You're hooked. Or terrified. Or aroused?

J. Crew Opening Second Downtown Vancouver Store
|[Image Source]
*UPDATE: The Pacific Centre J. Crew store will only carry womenswear and accessories - Feburary 27, 2013. Source: 'Fashion Insider' Angela Krewenchuk*
J. Crew will soon open its second Downtown Vancouver store at Pacific Centre. The store will be in a reconfigured space formerly occupied by an American Eagle Outfitters store an an Ann-Louise Jewellers store, the later which moved to a corner-space adjacent to the new J. Crew.
J. Crew has been on a Canada-wide expansion and we find it interesting that, with so few Canadian stores, they would locate two so close to each other. J. Crew opened its first Vancouver location in April 2012 at 1088 Robson Street, a relatively short walk from its new Pacific Centre store.
This will be J. Crew's eighth Canadian store. Besides the Vancouver Robson Street shop, the six other J. Crews are in metro Toronto (four stores) and Edmonton (two stores).
Thank you, readers, who noticed we had made an error in a previous post based on incorrectly marked Cadillac Fairview lease plans. We won't name names, but you know who you are and we thank you again for being diligent insiders!
Canada will see more J. Crew. We'll announce more Canadian J. Crew locations when they are confirmed.

"What kind of man will you be?"
Many young men hear this question as they mature, from their parents, their family, even in their own introspective reflections. As a child, I had dreams of growing up to be a true chivalrous gentleman: a handsome mix of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, James Bond, and just a splash of Sir Lancelot. What can I say, I aimed high.
The problem (or problems, as there were many) was that, according to society, I would never be a gentleman. I was on the opposite side of the binary spectrum, and expected to mature into a young lady, complete with legs crossed and the ankle, elegant gowns and feminine pursuits. Never the gentleman, always the lady.
Now, in my late twenties, I have begun to realize that my dreams of the gentlemanly arts are not dead. As I travel through my transition, I am rediscovering my hopes to become a gentleman. As a child, I spent many years in a dress and gloves, thanks to Cotillions; now I am looking at those lessons from the other side of the coin, and with a bit more of a queer, alternative (sometimes Steampunk) twist.
I am still learning the ins-and-outs of masculinity, with a gentlemanly twist, and, through this blog, I hope to learn even more.
About Mason
A little bit about me: I'm a Trans-identified, queer, Jewish, lawyer, living in Northern New England. I came out as Trans in 2005, and began using "T" in 2011. I don't identify as 100% male or 100% female: rather, I identify as a third sex, that is just….me. I do, however, prefer masculine or gender neutral pronouns ("they"). I'm mostly masculine, or at least my own version of masculine, with an "olde time" flair. I enjoy historical reenactment (big surprise), backpacking, camping, reading, horseback riding, history, Celtic music, interior design, fashion, and spending time with my lovely wife. In the end, I'm just me! If you want to know something more specific, don't hesitate to ask.
Hi! Thanks very much for your blog! I'm getting ready for a dyke auction here in Ottawa, Canada. It's a fundraiser for the dyke march during pride. I'm trying out suspenders for the first time. I've worn ties plenty…I love your blog!

I tried this last night and thought it was great. I didn't have all the ingredients so I substituted: I used bacon but pancetta would be yummy also. Used penne instead of ziti,added a couple cups of fresh chopped spinach, a couple tablespoons of pesto instead of fresh basil, feta cheese instead of ricotta and provel cheese instead of mozzarella. It was moist, tasty and the perfect comfort food for a snowy winter night

KJSBBQ Posted: 01/26/14
My husband (yes, it's that easy) made this for dinner. It looked and tasted great! Warm comfort food on a cold night. The only change we made was substituting beef broth for the red wine. Will make again!
kysherie Posted: 03/23/14
So, so good. Couldn't find pancetta, so used bacon. Filling…goes a long way. Next time, for my family of 4, I will split into two casserole dishes and freeze one for later.
MarySF Posted: 04/17/14
Simply fantastic and easy to make. I loved the pancetta and it was a real pleaser at our place!
southerncharm10 Posted: 02/24/14
This is a very favorite dish for my husband and me. It is great for a one-entree dinner, a potluck, or our favorite--leftovers. I love salads so served with a salad would be good also. I used bacon instead of pancetta and merlot wine. The second time I made it I mixed about a cup of the meat sauce in the zita and cheese mixture before pouring it into the baking dish and it distributed that yummy sausage flavor throughout. It is on our dinner menu again this week.

We absolutely loved this recipe. I've made one similar to it, but it didn't have near as much flavor as this version did. Using the sausage was a great idea, as was the pancetta and red wine for deglazing. High marks from the whole family on this one.

Absolutely wonderful recipe.... I also substituted with bacon and added a little extra oregano as well. A really delicious flavor that is complimented with the red wine!! I certainly will make this one again soon!!

I just made this for a pot luck event and it was amazing! Flavorful, creamy (but not too creamy), and rich! My husband, who doesn't usually like cheesy or creamy foods told me to keep this recipe on my short list! I will definitely make this again!
Amy2Foreman Posted: 02/12/14
Made this recipe for company, as written. Wonderful! Company asked for the recipe and made it for their dinner the next night. Delicious leftovers.
BrendaHyman Posted: 02/03/14
I made it without the bacon and it was wonderful!
StellaM Posted: 01/19/14
I liked the taste of this, but it came out very watery for me. Also, once I added the wine to the pot, the sausage turned purple, which made the whole dish very unappetizing looking. It certainly didn't look anything like the photo here.
Lucy2012 Posted: 01/31/14
I also tried this recipe for a pot luck and everybody loved it. I will definitely try it again. My husband love it too and want me to make it again soon so he can get a bigger portion. Thank you, I really enjoyed making this one.

"You're cute Frank." he smiled.
[/"Eat your pie." I told him and took a drink of my water, He laughed but did as I told him.
[*Frank's Point Of View
We finished up pretty quickly. Gerard payed for his food since mine ended up being free, and we left.
"Is there anything else you want to do or do you just wanna head home?" Gerard asked once we got into the car.
"Well, I doubt many places are open considering its a holiday. Anyways, I just wanna go home."
"Right. Okay."
"What time is it?"
"Quarter to seven."
"And what time are we going to that party?"
"Probably a little before 10."
"Okay. What are we gonna do with all that extra time?" I asked innocently.
"I can think of a few things." he smirked, getting the hint.
"I think you should drive faster or I may have to do some inappropriate things while you're driving." I smirked. His eyes widened and he whispered, "holy shit." He instantly began to speed up. I grabbed one of his hands and began to play with his fingers.
"Faster Gee." I said and shove his middle finger in my mouth before he could respond. I used my tongue to play with it before biting down.
Before I could do anything more, we were at the house. Gerard quickly got out of the car and so did I. We rushed into the house and once we were inside, Gerard pressed his mouth to mine. I slid my tongue along his bottom lip and he opened his mouth, allowing me inside. Gerard, who was slightly bent over so that I could reach his mouth, lifted me up. I wrapped my legs tightly around his waist and he held onto me. I also wrapped my arms around his neck, clinging tightly to him. He spun around so that my back was against a wall. I broke our kiss and began to suck on his neck. He moaned and I giggled.
Then I head a noise.
I looked over Gerard's shoulder as e began kissing my neck and saw Mikey and Ray staring at us. Mikey looked disgusted and Ray looked like he was trying really hard to hold back his laughter.
"Gee..." I mumbled.
"Yeah, Frankie?" he asked in-between sloppy kisses.
"Gee, stop." I said, embarrassed. Gerard look up and followed my gaze.
"Oh. Hey guys." he said awkwardly.
"Sooo. I'm guessing your date went well, huh." Mikey said, scrunching up his nose. Ray lost it and started laughing.
"It did, other than Gerard being a fucking blabber-mouth." I told them.
"I apologized Frankie!" Gerard almosted shouted.
"Yeah, and I forgive you, but that doesn't mean you didn't do it."
"What did he do?" Ray asked, calming down.
"He told some chick it was my birthday and so the people sang to me in front of everyyone."
"Oh, man, I hate when that happens."
"Me too." I said, giving Gerard a look.
"Well, at least I know for next year." Gerard shrugged.
"Now, I won't deny that you two are adorable together, but I'd really rather not watch you two suck face, so take it to your bedroom, or your car, or anywhere else really. I don't really care where, just not where I can see it." Mikey said. Gerard and I began to head upstairs when Mikey added, "Oh, and if you two plan on fucking each other up there, keep it down. I do not want to hear you two getting your sex on. Bite a pillow if you need to, but if I hear anything, I will come up there and stop you!" Ray started laughing again. Gerard rolled his eyes and continued up the stairs, still holding onto me.
After Gerard got us out of their view, I began sucking on his neck again. He stumbled up the stairs and practically ran to the bedroom. He tried to lay me down on the bed but it i refused to let go of him so he had to lay me on my back with him hovering right above me.
"Hey Frankie, do you wanna mess with Mikey?" he asked, mischievously.
"Sure, how?" I grinned.
"Just make as much noise as you can."
"Challenge accepted."
"Gerard bent over me and softly kissed my neck. I moaned, letting myself get really into it. The Gerard suddenly bit down, causing me to unintentionally scream out in surprise. He began laughing and started to bite my lip.
"gee!" I whined loudly. Gerard took off his shirt and then mine. He trailed his fingers down my stomach until he reached my pants. He tugged on my jeans and I let him pull them off. He struggled a bit, but he eventually got them off, leaving me in my boxers. I groaned loudly, wanting more, and Gerard smirked.
"Fuck Gerard! I can't take this. Hurry the hell up and fuck me, please." I cried seriously and louder than necessary to bug Mikey. Before Gerard could do anything, I heard the door fly open. We both looked up and saw Mikey glaring at us with Ray behind him, laughing harder than I had ever seen before.
"I fucking warned you!" Mikey said. "Do you two even realize how fucking loud you are? God, and you're not even fucking yet! Ha, now you two don't get t have sex! I'm not leaving this room. You are not allowed to get it in right now. If you two try to do anything in front of me, I will fucking separate you too! Understood?" He walked towards us and flopped down on the bed.
"Mikey, this is our room. Get the fuck out!" Gerard told him.
"Nope." He said, making himself comfortable. Ray was tearing up from laughing so hard, but he took a seat next to Mikey on our bed. Gerard groaned irritated and rolled off of me.
"So, were you guys having fun?" Mikey asked politely.
"Fuck off." Gerard glared at him. I giggled and nodded to answer Mikey's question.
"Well, that's nice." Mikey rolled his eyes.
"Can you please get out Mikey?" Gerard asked, trying to sound nice.
"What about Ray?"
"Hey, I'd gladly leave." ray said. "I'm only in here because you made me come with you."
"Well, I already said I'm not leaving. I don't give a shit how horny you both are, you're going to have to deal with it and keep it in your pants."
"What if we were to do it in front of you?" I asked.
"You'd better not." he glared.
Gerard smirked at him and leaned towards me, placing his lips against mine. Soon enough, his tongue was exploring my mouth.
"Are you fucking serious?" Mikey practically shouted. "No! No, no, no, no, no. No! Ew! Stop!"
Ray started laughing all over again.
"What is so funny Raymond?" Mikey demanded.
"You. Dude, just let them fuck each other. They're in love!"
"Thank yo!" I shouted, breaking away from Gerard for only a second. I then resumed our heated kiss, still somewhat listening to Ray and Mikey.
"No! It's gross. He's my brother. And they've already done it twice today, anyways. And I have decided not to leave this room, and I refuse to watch them. That's just creepy."
Gerard hugged my waist as he began to kiss my neck and I shoved my hands into his back pockets. Gerard began sucking on my collar bone and I moaned, satisfied.
"Oh, gross. That's it!" I heard Mikey yells, and i felt Gerard being pulled off of me."You two are done!"
"What the actual fuck?" Gerard said as he got pulled away from me. Mikey dragged him off the bed and out of the bedroom by his arms. I followed Ray out of the bedroom and watched as Mikey dragged a struggling Gerard down the stairs. Gerard winced with each thud. His pants began to slide down his ass a little, but Mikey continued to pull him. I was a bit surprised at how strong Mikey really way.
"Mikey! What the fuck! Let me go!" Gerard struggled again him. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I warned you, bro." Mikey told him and began to drag him down the basement steps. Before Ray and I could follow, we heard someone running up the stairs. Mikey appeared again and slammed the door shut before Gerard could get upstairs. Mikey grinned to himself and locked the basement door.
Sorry this took forever! I have been trying to write as much as possible but I haven't had much time for it. I'll work on getting the next chapter up as soon as I can!
I hope you guys liked this chapter.

|Wood-roasted, honey-glazed root vegetables.
In case you haven't gathered this already, my sister Rebekah spoils me at Thanksgiving. By the time I got there this year, on Wednesday afternoon, she had made several pies' worth of her perfect butter-lard dough; foraged a couple pounds of oyster mushrooms; picked, trimmed and cleaned celery root, carrots, parsnips and kale and other greens; defrosted their own chicken sausage; ground their own corn into meal; slaughtered, plucked a neighboring farmer's turkey; and stocked the fridge with farm-fresh milk, cream, yogurt and cheese. The garlic and onion braids hung in the mudroom, ready for me to twist off whatever I needed. The potatoes were hanging out in a tiny cold storage room nestled against the side of the house.
|Celeriac soup.
|Mashed potatoes with butter, buttermilk and goat's milk.
Everything else? We kinda winged it. That, of course, doesn't mean it's not worth writing about. On the contrary, I suppose. So here goes:
I always like a soup for Thanksgiving, because it forces everyone to pause a little bit and talk at the table before the build-your-plate-mountain craziness ensues. I took those beautiful celeriac bulbs, peeled and cut most of them into big chunks -- but held out a cup or so that I finely diced. I chopped up about 1/2 cup of the leaves, too. I cooked the celeriac chunks in chicken stock, pureed with an immersion blender (after adding some celery seed and salt), then stirred in a little cream before serving. I garnished each bowl of soup with the celery leaves and the crispy celeriac pieces that I had pan-fried.
Meanwhile, Rebekah sauteed that beautiful Tuscan kale in Maine-grown canola oil (not their own -- yet!) with crushed red pepper flakes, and splashed in a little vinegar at the end. I boiled the smallest of their Yukon gold and red potatoes until tender, then put them through a food mill -- a way to rice them while leaving the peels behind -- and folded in fresh butter, buttermilk, goat's milk and a palmful of salt.
Most of the other cooking happened in their wood-fired brick bread oven, which is truly a magical thing. It's an intense heat that seems to sear the outside of foods quickly and leaves them juicy inside (not to mention tinged with smoke flavor). So the turkey was simply butterflied -- something I do every year -- and then I stuffed a paste of bacon, garlic and sage under the skin and roasted it at probably 550 degrees until it was caramel-colored and done. I didn't time it, because I hadn't weighed it. Instead, I just kept an eye on it, tented it with foil when it got brown, and pulled it when the instant-read thermometer said it had reached 165 at the thickest part of the thigh. The drippings made for fabulous gravy when combined with more evidence that my sister spoils me: beautifully gelled homemade turkey stock.
The mushrooms were meant for the wood oven, of course -- just simply tossed in olive oil and coarse salt. But my favorite side dish was probably the roasted root veggies: a combination of parsnips and carrots with a few turnips thrown in. I drizzled them with oil, dusted them with cumin and pimenton and roasted them until they had brown spots here and there, then took them out and gave them another drizzle, this time with raw honey. The earthy spices layered with the sweet, sticky honey pulled them into special-occasion territory, if I do say so myself.
It wasn't as many different dishes as we had done in years past, and that was on purpose. There were 10 of us, and my sister and I wanted to make sure people got to really taste everything. Those plate mountains were tall, but each dish got its due. The pies awaited, and we served them with freshly whipped cream. Amazing cream, actually.
This is not a tradition I plan on breaking anytime soon. In fact, next year there will be even more of the same, because as of the New Year I will be living with them in North Berwick while I take a yearlong leave to work on a couple of book projects -- including one, you guessed it, on the art of homesteading. My brother-in-law is installing the insulation, putting up siding and investigating Murphy bed kits for the little studio they're building, just past the chicken coop.
That means that, among other things, next Thanksgiving I won't be nearly as spoiled, reaping the fruits of the harvest without sowing any of the seeds. Next year, in fact, my elbow grease will have gone into every dish, too.
I have a feeling that things will taste even better.

How did Prince Malchezaar in Karazhan end up with Gorehowl, the axe of Grom Hellscream?
One could imply that Prince Malchezaar is something of a Burning Legion treasure hunter, drawn to Karazhan for its magical curiosities.
It should probably also be noted that Demon Fall Canyon in Ashenvale, where Mannoroth was defeated, was controlled by the Burning Legion, until the local leaders were killed in this quest:
So, one could assume that between Mannoroth's defeat and "Never Again", a minion Malchezaar dropped by to collect any artefacts. I guess the orcs never found the axe, or didnt bother to look for it.
I think I can believe Camaris' idea of Prince Malchezaar being a treasure hunter.
Though the axe, it was probably buried with Grom's dead body and the Prince Malchezaar basically dug it up and stole it from his gravesite.
Either that, or you've seen that Mannoroth exploded violently when Grom struck it deep into him. So it could've gone reeeeaaallly flying far.

This is a quality version recording. disappointed that it was not listed in the page. Would have thought twice before buying.The song list is great, but i wish it was the original. Flipkart should help list the type of music product this is whether original or sung by other singers..............
I expected this to be a compilation of the original songs. While the song selection is good the songs are sung by someone else. It would be helpful if the correct facts are stated about the product. I am quite disappointed with this CD.
I had expected the original songs, sung by the original artists. What is given unfortunately, are garbled voices singing the covers - most disappointing. This CD is a complete waste to buy if you the type who already has listened to the originals, and thus,are expecting that.If you are listening for the first time, you might enjoy it. Flipcart should start a process of making it evident to Customers, about what the products are about - while this is basically a fault from EMI, the marketing backlash also hits the e-commerce site.
