This discussion will be based on the Wall Street Journal Bestseller "QUITTER" by Jon Acuff.
My father-in-law welded for the same company for 48 years. My father changed companies seven times in his career moving up the ladder with each move. I fell into my "dream job" after a lengthy illness. Are you working in human resources and you really want to be an architect? Are you an attorney who would really love to own a fishing boat? Would you love to give up the 8 to 5 drudge to be a coach?
Loading up the wagon with the pots, pans, and furniture is not the wise way to get to your dream job. Getting there begins by keeping your day job for now. Even if you have a job that is less-than-ideal you get to say "NO" to options that you don't want. You effectively lose the "NO" option when you just up and quit your job. By keeping your job for now you can focus on the benefits of saying "YES" to the right opportunities when they come your way.
Acuff starts the book with an incident that happened years ago. He is in a cubicle in the men's room changing his clothes early on a Monday morning. His endeavor in searching for his dream job was doing motivational speaking on the weekends. Then he rushed to his day job early Monday morning to begin the weekly grind. By keeping his day job it gave him leverage to wait until the right opportunity came along.
Are "quitters" automatic winners? We throw elaborate parties when someone leaves the company to take a new job. We sit back and admire them for their courage to go somewhere else. While we may be feeling a bit of envy that we don't have their sense of adventure to try something new. Most of us have a blurry definition of what we'd like to do if we could. There is no shortage of personality and job tests on the market. In the book, "Start with WHY," author Simon Sinek discusses that dreams alone rarely work.
The WHY is born out of upbringing and life experiences of an individual. Your dream job is more than a revelation or act of discovery. It is a process of "recovery" of an old love or inescapable truth about yourself that has been silenced for a lifetime. When you come to find your dream job it is rarely the first encounter with the things that you love to do.
Today it is the norm that the average person will change jobs seven to ten times through the timespan of their work life. Is there something holding you back? What would you love to be doing fiveyears from now? What did you love to do as a child that you still love to do today?"
This discussion is a repeat of the one on 3 Nov.
Great discussion... There was a vast amount of experiences that were shared that added to the rainbow of aspects in the pursuit of the "dream" job. No one is a slouch when it comes to being open to a multitude of opportunities - with or without money being a faction. It was agreed that the happiness of a dream job varies from day to day. And that learning new things is prevalent for each of us. Great job everyone. It was a terrific discussion.
0 · November 16, 2013
I look forward to the discussion tomorrow. I think everyone should be empowered to pursue their dream job. I wonder: how can we make it happen?
I've just been informed that the Philadelphia Marathon is running tomorrow (and Sunday). The maps suggests that the marathon ends about 22nd street but the Parkway will be closed at least to 20th Street. It should be far enough away that we won't be too inconvenienced. If you are driving into the city, please allow extra time to find parking. If you are taking public transportation (or walking like me), you should be OK.

Saturday night, Miami's Dolphin Stadium will be the host site for a friendly match between Guatemala and Honduras' national soccer teams.
As a number of Latin American sports journalists were interviewing Guatemala's coach Hernán Darío Gómez, he spotted Reinaldo Rueda, a Guatemala-born technical assistant for Honduras. He then walked over to him and planted a "thundering" kiss.
This according to Honduran papers La Prensa and El Heraldo, both which said that the coach's antics demonstrated his tremendous sense of humor.
Asked what the kiss meant, Gómez told reporters: "The kiss can mean anything, except that we are faggots."
He was certainly playing it up for the reporters and obviously thinks that playing up the fag angle is funny but when it comes down to it it's just more of the usual homophobic banter that happens in the world of soccer.

Scanning Whole Rolls Of Film With Vuescan, The Nikon Coolscan 5000ED,
And The Hacked SA-21 Film Strip Adapter
February 2009
I had pretty much given up shooting film until about a year ago, when I got back into photography whole-hog and invested myself and my money in the Leica M-mount system. Leica, of course, does have a digital M-mount camera, the M8, and by all accounts it is a lot of fun to have one. But since its price is twice that of my car, I have been content to shoot film with an M2 and Bessa R4A, and a variety of Leica-mount lenses old and new (none, in my case, actually made by Leica).
The point of shooting, and then scanning, film in an era of high-quality digital cameras (a few of which I do have) is a subject for another essay. Suffice it to say that plenty of people see the value in doing this, and some specialized products exist in order to help them: there are a variety (not, sadly, a large variety, but a variety) of dedicated film scanners out there, and flatbed scanners that offer a film-scanning option. The latter are great if you also want to scan prints, but the best image quality seems to come from the film-only scanners.
For about six months I owned an Epson V500 flatbed scanner, and I must say that this machine has a very high performance-to-price ratio. You can get one new for around $175, and it will give you pretty good looking pictures right out of the box. The EpsonScan software is not very good, but once you've developed a method and a collection of settings, you're good to go. There are two problems with it. The resolution is low, lower than the film you're scanning, so you won't want to print your results at anything more than maybe 11x14 for the whole frame, and much less if you crop. The other is that it's really slow. It's not the scanning speed itself that's the big problem, it's that you can only scan a couple of strips at a time, and you always have to be around to swap them in and out. The film holder is flimsy and it doesn't flatten the film, so you need to roll your film back on itself for a few hours before you cut it, or press it between the pages of a book for a couple of days.
Personally, I'm into process. But this isn't the kind of necessary process that gives a person satisfaction—it's the kind that makes you wish somebody had deisgned the damned equipment better. Furthermore, I'd begun to have trouble getting any sharpness out of my photos; certain pictures would come out sharp seemingly at random, while others would look kind of mushy close-up. This wasn't a problem for 500-pixel Flickr shots, but it really bugged me when I got prints made. So I sold some stuff, including the Epson, and got myself the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000ED.
One miniature MRI machine, coming right up.
The 5000ED is very tiny, about the size of a dictionary or loaf of sourdough bread. When it runs, it sounds exactly like the miniature MRI machine that it looks like. It comes with two adapters, one for 35mm slides, and one for 35mm film strips of up to six frames. The latter adapter, the SA-21, is the one I'll be talking about here.
Now, here's the thing about the SA-21. It is not made, Nikon will tell you, for scanning entire rolls of film at once. This is the purview of the much fancier and much more expensive SA-30 Roll Film Adapter, which costs $500. But it turns out that the SA-21 and the SA-30 are basically identical, and that the SA-21 can be hacked to accept full rolls. This, friends, is a big deal. This means that, once you have your system all set, you can feed in your roll, leave the room, do other things, and come back later to a folder filled with high-resolution TIFs. There are several places online where you can learn how to take apart your SA-21, heat up your soldering iron, and connect a couple of pads on the PCB with a well-placed blob of goodness, making the transformation permanent. But you can also affect the same change by jumpering a couple of contacts on the back, using a short length of thin wire. You don't need to take anything apart, and the wire stays on with a piece of clear tape. To wit:
Note the small jumper wire, protected by some tape. You just saved $500.
Got that? You need very thin wire for this—a paperclip is too thick. Go to Radio Shack and pick up a spool of bare "hookup wire," the thinnest they have. You'll only need half an inch, but what would you rather spend, three dollars or five hundred? Using the tip of some needlenose pilers, bend your bit of wire into the shape of an old-fashioned carpet staple, the kind you have probably spent an afternoon on your hands and knees removing from your hardwood floor. Now use those pliers to insert the wire into the connector as shown, and affix a bit of tape over it to keep it in place. Poke holes for the male ends of the connector to go through, then slide the adapter back in the scanner and leave it there. Now your computer will think you have the SA-30.
Okay, so how do you scan your roll of film? Well, I don't recommend using NikonScan, the software that ships with the machine. Some people have had success with it, but I find the interface incredibly awkward, and so I ponied up forty bucks for VueScan, an independent piece of software that works with any scanner. VueScan's GUI is a bit confusing, as well, but it isn't due to any design problem; rather, it's that the designer, Ed Hamrick, has made every imaginable option available on the screen all at once. Don't be intimidated. You'll figure it out, and once you've figured it out, you can make yourself some presets and load them in whenever you're ready to scan.
Your first scans with VueScan will look pretty bad, with very little contrast. The main thing you'll need to do is adjust the black and white points, and the low and high curves. These options are on the COLOR tab, confusingly (since you need them for black and white film). Black point is a percentage value that determines how many pixels in the image are black; white point sets the same value for white. In other contexts this is called "clipping," so I keep them both set at .1. Low and high curve will help you define the highlights and shadows; for black and white film I keep low at .25 and high at .75. This gives me a nice medium-contrast file that I can tweak to my heart's content in Lightroom. If all this sounds confusing, I invite you to use my presets for scanning whole rolls of black and white negative and color films, and Kodachrome 64. Download them here.
The VueScan preview screen. I always eschew the dust removal software and heal out the dust in Photoshop.
I recommend previewing frame 2 first (set Batch Scan to LIST, type the number 2 in the Batch List box, hit PREVIEW) and adjusting the frame offset setting on the INPUT tab until the preview is perfectly centered in the frame. This way, Vuescan will have a clear jumping-off point for scanning the roll. Needless to say, the scans come out most even when you use a camera that spaces the frames evenly. If they're irregular, you might want to peek in on your folder of scans now and then, to make sure the 5000ED hasn't gone off the rails. Also, because you have no roll film holder, like the one that comes with the SA-30, you should have some system for catching the film as it comes out the back of the scanner. I have a soft cloth there which serves as a landing stage, from which the film tumbles over the edge of a shelf and dangles down toward the floor. Similarly, I have another cloth laid in front of the scanner, for the film to drag along as it enters. This works fine. No scratches, not too much dust. Eject the film when it's finished. When I've scanned the roll, I cut it into strips and store it in sleeves just like I did when I had the V500. Except in the meantime I've gotten to have a life, plus the scans look much, much better.

Special report: Mt. St. Helens
Mt. St Helens Volcano, Cascade Range, Southern Washington, USA (46.20°N, 122.18°W.) All times are local (GMT - 7 h through October 24, GMT - 8 h thereafter. Lava extrusion that probably began October 30 added a new lobe to the composite dome in the crater of Mt. St. Helens. After lava extrusion ended September 10 (see September 22 Eos), rates of deformation in the crater remained low for several weeks, as they had after earlier extrusion episodes. Sulfur dioxide emission ranged from 70 to 190 tons per day between October 9 and 24, but showed no particular trends. Inflation of the dome has caused small thrust faults to form in the surrounding crater floor. In early October the most active thrust, south of the dome, was moving at about 1.5 cm/d, and stations on the north crater rampart showed outward movement of about 0.5 cm/d. By October 24 these rates had increased to 14.5 and 3.5–4 cm/d, respectively, and leveling profiles perpendicular to the dome showed that crater floor tilt rates had reached 400–500 μrad/d, prompting the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to issue an advisory prediction of renewed lava extrusion within the next two weeks.

what are your thoughts on RMSG and i know you will be honest. :-)
I know I have it here somewhere, but I never used it. Rereading the previous post I meant to say that I wasn't too sure about ESMC right now; the mkt seems to be slamming just about everything. They're still #1 on the IBD list though. I'll keep checking.
yes, it helps alot.
Did you check on yahoo pager?
Ambrosia, where were you a couple weeks ago? Some of my stocks are now breaking out. Besides MAGS I reco'ed VISG and ABTL recently. ABTL reports next week and should beat estimates; they are currently above their pivot but still safe in the 14 range IMO. Another pick I gave was ESMC when they came out of their most recent base; I'm sure about right now. Another one I suggested was AUO. Anyway, these are some of the kinds of stocks I reco to people. All of them meet CANSLIM requirements (are you familiar with them?) Right now you should avoid anything that is interest rate sensitive, at least until the next Fed Mtg. I suggested people look at CCBI and FBR, both have been hit hard because of interest rate scares. If you want to stay in the security industry look at DHB, IMX and IDNX. These might still have potential. Most of the stuff posted on these boards is complete junk IMO. Try to find Co's that have positive revenues and earnings AND eps growth. That's what the big money is looking for. Does that help?
Harry N
I have made a small profit and will be very happy to take it at the bell.
God, I do feel relief man was I rattled. whew thanks a ton Harry.
bty how about throwing a few of your fav' stocks my way. I like your style :-)
I might have Yhoo, but I don't think I've ever used it. Let me see.
Harry N
Ambrosia, most likely all of the news in that filing is already known by the market. For those who are following the stock closely I'm sure there are no surprises in it. I have rarely seen a stock tank on a standard SEC filing. What can sometimes happen is that they can come out after the official filing and announce that an error has been made and they need to refile. Then you can see a real sell-off. It doesn't surprise me the company is losing money, most stocks under $5 are probably losing money from what I see. If you're real nervous about it you'd probably be better off closing out. Just a thought.
Harry N
Harry do you have yahoo or aol messanger>
First Harry, thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. I am very new at investing and when I read this news I literally panicked as I took it to be very BAD news. I immediately put my sell order in.
Did I misread it Harry? I am afraid the stock will open like $1.00
thanks for any advice you can give me
Chucky, thnx for putting that post on their board. I fell out of my chair laughing so hard at it, thnx. Yeah, their a bunch of uptight, nit-picking jerks who think they're following Buffet. I still have some responses to post over there.

As events rapidly unfold in Ukraine, the hypocrisy of the United States and western powers would be hilarious if it was not for the sobering reality that their brinkmanship is pushing us toward a global conflict.
Canada has been the most strident and bellicose of all partic-ipants, with the exception of the self-appointed interim Ukrainian government. On his trip to the streets of Kyiv in the immediate wake of president Viktor Yanukovych's ouster, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird made it clear that Canada "is not a referee" in this crisis. We are firmly on the side of the anti-Yanukovych faction.
Such a knee-jerk, impulsive declaration immediately excludes Canada from playing any sort of peace-pursuing mediator role in this equation, and it bone-headedly over-simplifies what is a very complex situation.
Baird also championed the self-appointed interim government as being pro-freedom and pro-democracy. This somehow ignores the fact that Yanukovych was elected through a democratic process and that the interim leadership seized power through violent demonstrations and parliamentary procedure.
Baird's simplistic proclamation of support also ignores the fact that the Svoboda Party now in power in Kyiv contains ultra right-wing nationalists and anti-Semites. There is also a clearly pro-Russian faction emerging — particularly in eastern Ukraine and Crimea — and they are making it abundantly clear they want nothing to do with the interim government in Kyiv.
They too must be democratic freedom lovers, by Baird's calculation, because they are now using the same tactics used by protesters to oust Yanukovych. In eastern Ukrainian cities like Donetsk and Kharkov, angry crowds have stormed and seized government buildings while brandishing Russian flags.
In response to the Russian military exerting control of airfields and harbours in Crimea, Baird invoked the ultimate in rhetoric by comparing Putin's move to that of Adolf Hitler's annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1938. Nothing works better when demonizing someone than a comparison to Hitler.
Canada also yanked its ambassador out of Moscow immediately after Russian troops deployed in Crimea, yet another brilliant move on the part of Canada to cut off communication at the outset of a complex and extremely sensitive international situation.
Still not satisfied that Moscow was getting Prime Minister Stephen Harper's message of discontent, Baird took the extreme step of expelling nine Russian officers who were in Canada on exchange programs and language training. In true Baird tough-guy style, he apparently gave the Russian soldiers 24 hours to pack their bags and get out of Dodge.
Baird also spent a lot of time beating his chest and sputtering on about levelling sanctions against Russia. This was probably why Canada was not invited to any of the big boy emergency discussions on the Ukraine crisis that were held last week by the U.S., Russia and major European nations.
The Europeans know that sanctions are not an option in this equation, as western Europe currently imports 40 per cent of its natural gas and oil from Russia through pipelines across Ukraine. So while it is easy for Baird to heave around the sanction hammer, the Europeans have no desire to be left freezing in the dark.
It would be unfair to paint Harper and Baird as the only two beating the war drum. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry actually rebuked Putin with the warning that he cannot invade a country "on a completely trumped up pretext."
Many U.S. talk show hosts repeated Kerry's words, pointed to a map of Iraq and pilloried the irony.
The other major hypocrisy in NATO's current stance relates to the Crimea region's right to self-determination. Last week, the Crimean governor declared he would hold a referendum next Sunday to decide whether or not residents wished to join Russia or remain part of Ukraine.
This has, of course, set off the western powers into fits of rage with declarations that such a move would be an illegal violation of Ukraine's sovereign territory (about 60 per cent of the Crimean population are ethnic Russians). This is the same NATO that bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days in the spring of 1999 to ensure the right to self-determination for the ethnic Albanian majority in Kosovo, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians, both Albanian and Serbian.
As much as Harper, Baird and Kerry want to smear Putin with a war crime label, it must be remembered that, to date, not a single Russian bullet has been fired in the crisis. And if what Putin is doing in Crimea is wrong, then NATO leaders who led the campaign against Yugoslavia should be indicted for committing the same crime of violating sovereign territory.
There are no statutes of limitations on war crimes — just hypocrisy in labelling them as such.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Meh. Written in 1995, this actually reads dated. Also, there is a lot of explaining things - mostly Hill explaining to Jordan - which read a bit like a lecture. Not a fan of the gory / torture parts, and it did not help that the book starts with some pretty gruesome descriptions.
4.25 Stars
The Mermaids Singing is the first in Val McDermid's Tony Hill & Carol Jordan series. It is a taught, well-written psychological thriller, which was actually turned into an excellent British crime drama in 2002. I highly recommend McDermid's series to fans of exceptional crime fiction.
The Mermaids Singing
3.5 Stars
After the mutilated bodies of 4 men are discovered in Bradfield, the police are finally forced to admit that a serial killer is on the loose, and enlist the help of criminal psychologist Tony Hill. Haunted by demons of his own, Tony works with DI Carol Jordon to profile a killer who has just made Tony the latest target...
Disclaimer: This book is the first in a series which forms the basis for the BBC show Wire in the Blood. As a fan of the series, I was glad to see that the producers did an excellent job in re-creating 90% of McDermid's characters and plot. However, my overall reading experience may have been influenced by the fact that I knew all the twists and turns ahead of time.
That said, the plot of The Mermaids Singing is clever and well written. The events are told from multiple perspectives - Tony, Carol as well as the killer and others. Each of the characters, both primary and secondary, are intriguing and well-developed, and the revelation of the killer's identity and motivation is original and interesting. It is important to note that the book contains graphic descriptions of torture and mutilation so it is not for those who are turned off by blood and gore.
Personally, the only scene that had me almost jettisoning the book is the near torture of the German Shepherd, as I have absolutely no tolerance for animal abuse. Thankfully, the act itself does not occur so I could move forward (very pleased this was taken out of the show).
Tony is a compelling character, damaged and tortured in his own way, and trying to cope with his inner demons. He comes across as more eccentric in the series than in the book, an interpretation that I prefer. Carol is also a likeable character coping with the inevitable boys club in the police.
While the book is entertaining, I won't be continuing with the series as I've seen the TV show, and I know what is to come. Reading the book does make me want to watch the show again though.
I suspect McDermid has been influenced by Thomas Harris but she reworks the formula and avoids making her serial killer into a 'bogey man' like Hannibal Lecter. Lecter is a force and not a real being. The killer in Mermaids is a real person and the novel is scarier as a result. An enormously enjoyable read as a clinical psychologist Tony Hill - who has his own problems - matches wits with a very sick and intelligent killer.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312983603, Mass Market Paperback)This sadistic, twisted yet intriguingly ingenious thriller garnered Val McDermid Britain's top crime-fiction award, the Gold Dagger, which only proves it's not as genteel a nation as we've been led to believe. The Mermaids Singing follows a killer who thrives on finding ever more inventive ways to seduce and torture sexually confused young men and records their death struggles digitally to market them as interactive home movies.

When the fourth victim of a twisted serial killer is found, Detective Inspector Carol Jordan teams up with criminologist Tony Hill to develop a complicated criminal profile, the accuracy of which becomes pivotal to the case.

"In a 1997 book review, I extolled the extraordinary features of the first edition of Starlanyl and Copeland's Survival Manual. As caregivers to FMS/MPS patients and sufferers themselves, their advice in the book was superbly tuned to readers' needs. Now, in this second edition, Starlanyl and Copeland have outshone themselves. Having updated the Survival Manual and enhanced its laudable features, they have made an already valuable book almost priceless."
—Dr. John C. Lowe, Director of Research, Fibromyalgia Research Foundation, Board Certified, American Academy of Pain Management
"They've done it again! This second edition of the Survival Manual is a gold mine of practical advice and scholarly information put into everyday language. This book gives a great many options for all aspects of FMS/CMP and its message is one of hope. An owner's manual for you, and one that should be required reading for all of your health care providers, this is not a book to be read and crossed off of your list, but a resource to avail yourself of over and over again. The tools are here. Use it yourself and have those close to you read it also."
—Richard Finn, Director, Academy for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy, coauthor, Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Manual Trigger Point & S-EMG Therapies
"Devin Starlanyl and her work are incredible resources to the fibromyalgic community. She has tirelessly researched her subject and freely and lovingly shared it with those who have suffered pain and disability."

Burmese Forces Said to Fire On Marchers Led by Monks
Published: August 9, 1990
BANGKOK, Thailand, Aug. 8— Burmese security forces opened fire today on a peaceful dawn march led by Buddhist monks in Mandalay, killing at least four people, Western diplomats in Rangoon said.
Diplomats quoted witnesses as saying 5,000 people took part in the march, which marked the second anniversary of huge protests against the military Government and reflected growing tension over the delay in a transfer to civilian rule.
One diplomat, contacted by telephone from Bangkok, said two monks and two students were shot dead and one monk and one student were injured. Another said up to seven monks may have been killed.
Troops immediately sealed off the area in central Mandalay, Burma's second largest city about 375 miles north of Rangoon. Scattered demonstrations had broken out in the city in the last three days.

Additional Notes
Complaint: The vehicle was purchased on February 22nd of 2016, under the agreement that scratches and dents would be repaired. after 2 visits, the dents were addressed in a very satisfactory manner, and after 2 more visits, the scratches are still not corrected in a proper way. I emailed the owner on March 14th regarding this and was informed that my request is unrealistic.
Desired Settlement: I would like a billing adjustment of $450 to cover the discounted cost to repair the scratches on the front left corner of the bumper and the LH door.
Business Response: We did not agree to repaint the car at the time of purchase. We agreed to touch up and do some paintless dent repair. This was done twice that I'm aware of. This process make's any small dents and scratches less visible but are not perfect. Mr. ******** wants the car repainted to look like new. We did not bargain for that and had he insisted that repaint work be done we would have adjusted the price for that. So we reject his claim for $450. thank you
Consumer Response:
I did not expect the vehicle to be repainted. I expect the vehicle and the damage to the paint be repaired. Not an entire repaint. I do accept the minor and normal wear and tear on the paint such as chips, but the large scratch and the Deep gouges are not normal wear and tear. I do expect Those portions to be repaired correctly as agreed upon when the vehicle was purchased

2380 reviews | 4.5 out of 5
What can I say, I am more than pleased. I ordered 2 sets of the taupe colored because we are a family of 6 and 1 set simply wasn't enough for my big family. I love them. The plates are huge as well as the bowls. The color is just as pictured. Packaged well only 1 cup had paint chipped off but it's no biggie. For the price, I feel it was well worth the money spent. Shipping was a little faster than stated as well so that was a plus. I would recommend this to family and friends that are looking for a new set, most definitely.
I am mainly doing this review to show pictures of what the item description doesn't which is that the gray set is gray front and back. It is not gray with a black back.
What I can tell you after just a few weeks is that they are pretty. They are modern and heavy. Mine were packaged very, very well but still one plate was broken. I ordered another set and the shade is sllightly different.
Dimensions of gray set-
Large plate 10.5
small plate 7.5
bowls are large (deep)
mugs are standard
I was searching for something other than a red plate set for my kitchen, wanted a blue but not too light or too much design, this is simple & perfect! the blue isn't too dark or too light. I couldn't pass this offer up with the price for 16 pieces, that's a deal! I did a site to store order & shipping was quick, it was packaged very well & all pieces were protected. I definitely recommend.
I was excited to use my new dishes and I put one in the oven because on the back it says oven safe and not long after heard 2 cracks. I pulled it out and there are 2 cracks in the plate. I'm super bummed because I got 4 sets and expected them to be way more durable. I'm now afraid to use that plate and hoping I can get one to replace it.
I got this set in April. I should of probably returned. There wasn't any damage to it, however, on the pictures on walmarts page it shows that the items are only black on bottom/on outside. The set i got which was the purple ... theres a LOT of black on top of the plates and inside the cups. Theres not a whole lot of purple. I am not sure if anyone else has had this issue, if its normal or not or what. I still like it but if this isn't how it supposed to be it should be looked into. Sadly since I got in april i can't return now but I hope if i buy another set that it hopefully wont come out like the way I got it.
I ordered this set in Purple. In the picture advertised on the website it shows the top of the product as the indicated color reaching all the way to the edges. What I received was what looked like this set in black with a spray painted circle in the center of each piece. Not at all as advertised. Maybe the spray or whatever ran out and no one noticed? Very disappointed, will be returning immediately.
If you're ok with an uneven spray-painted center, these plates are for you! The image shows the colors all the way to the edges.... but as you can see from my picture, it looks like someone just sprayed the center of the place and called it acceptable. I saw another review with the same complaint. I will be returning this set. Very disappointed.
Dear TheReesa:

We are sorry that your plates arrived uneven. This is very unusual with this set. The reactive glaze process results in a unique look. No two pieces are exactly the same. However, with your plates, this is not our normal standard. Please return the set to Walmart for an exchange or refund. If you need further assistance, please contact us at http://www.gibsonusa.com/contact_us.php.
I was very pleasantly surprised at the durability and value of this set! It came earlier than expected and it was packaged great so it came undamaged. I read a previous review on how someone said they arent the same color as they show on the website... I 100% DISAGREE w/ this statement- the plates are EXACTLY the same color as shown on the website. Anyway, I was also really impressed that the dishes are dishwasher, microwave AND even OVEN safe! Great product for a great price! My mother in law is buying me a 2nd set for Thanksgiving!
I ordered this set online since I had seen it in person at the store and it was out of stock there and cheaper than I had seen it for originally, and I absolutely love the color and the overall look. Not to mention, the sale price is great for a 16 piece set. Perfect color for the holidays and great quality. My toddler tried to "help" me take them out of the box and dropped a bowl and it didn't even crack; we have hardwood floors. I think I just got lucky but its still a great product. Definitely recommend it! :)
I ordered the set for my daughter for her birthday. She has just redone her home and wanted to have dishes that better matched her new "New Orleans" theme. I ordered them here at hom e and had them shipped to her home store and everything went great. She loved the deep bowls and the big cups. Square plates are wonderful.
They are Stoneware, very sturdy, microwaveable, and dishwasher safe. I prefer to hand-wash them as the dishwasher can dull the color over time. I bought 2 sets for my daughter and she is very pleased with the durability, color (Red/Black), and the style (Square). I paid $29.00 per set...best gift I ever gave.
I purchased this dinnerware for my boyfriend as a surprise. I must say they are very nice and EXACT color and match to the picture online! I am not finished yet, but I can't wait from him to arrive home from Afghanistan and see his new table setting.
I bought the red/black ones and I love the color. It's a very dark red, and flat black. They don't stack very well, so I'm glad I only have one other person I am living with, so I don't need a whole lot of dinnerware because I have very little cabinet space in my apartment. Other than that, great set!
While I am happy with the purchase, the color disappoints. From the picture it looks to be a true red. It is not. When looking for fabric to make place mats to match it turns out it is a color called "Oxblood". Really more of a Burgundy color. If you are looking for a better red, Gibson makes a set called Evening Blossom that is a bit more expensive and is carried at some Walmart stores. I found a platter online that will suffice for this, since there are no serving pieces available, but I really think I should have gotten that one. Oh, well. Live and learn!
We bought these dishes in the most beautiful blue. After less than a month we have had several chips appear after using the dishwasher. We have never had this problem before. For the price it's good I your not embarrassed entertaining guests with chipped dishes.
I was a bit unsure as some reviews said the red was more like orange, but to me the color is perfect. They go great with my kitchen colors and decoration. They have a good strong weight to them, have not tried them in the microwave yet, but they do say microwave safe and I don't really think there will be a problem with that.
Only use doing special occasions wouldn't recommend children use.
I bought this set when I started college 5 years ago and now that I have more people in my household I decided it is time to get more. I came to Walmart's website and sure enough they STILL make them. I think that may be testament enough that this is a fantastic dinnerware set. Yes, the red is a tad deeper, but definitely not brown by any means. I'm in shock that people were talking about how cheap and breakable this set is! I have had this for FIVE YEARS...none of my corners have even chipped. Maybe these people are just really rough or dropped them alot. I don't even know how a plate would just BREAK while being microwaved unless you put a plate that is way too big for the microwave size in there. Especially with a SQUARE plate rotating. Which no matter how high quality a plate is, would never hold up to that kind of beating after long enough.
Basically, I couldn't recommend these enough and after 5 years I am still using them constantly and am now intending on buying another set to have more of!
I ordered two sets in the blue color and was disappointed with what arrived. There is no fade from dark to light blue, no variation, just a flat finish in dark blue. A much darker color than you see in the photos. Aside from that, there are also a few very small scuff marks and scratches here and there. If not examining the dishes, these would probably go unseen but it causes concern. I fear they may not hold up too well to the cutting and scraping of flatware and knives, but I'll will just have to wait and see.
The coffee cups could be a little larger and I wish the handles were more round than flat but other than that, I like the shape of the plates and bowls. The bowls are actually a very nice shape, and are deep enough to hold soup and cereal without the worry of spillage. The square design with rounded edges is nice and the weight of the dishes seems balanced and fairly durable. It's just the scratched finish that concerns me and my overall disappointment in the colors.
Since moving into my first home almost 4 ½ years ago I had since to have a matching dish set. I knew I wanted a set that was unique from other plates, cups and bowls you can purchase. I had looked for dishes for quite a while, almost 6 months. When I found these and they were actually on sale at the time, I was ecstatic. They were a unique shape and they came in my favorite color, red. When they came in the mail everything was packaged very well so nothing would get broke in the shipment. After using them I could tell they were made out of good quality material. I have used them in the microwave numerous times and the only thing I have to complain about is the dishes get extremely hot as well as the food. I do not have a dishwasher so I cannot attest to how they hold up after using them in one. I do however wash them in the sink by hand and they clean up very easily. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend these dishes to anyone looking for a new and unique set of dishes.

It picked up a lot of other honors, too, including the grand prize at Edinburgh and lots of praise at the 1970 New York Film Festival. But it was never released commercially in America.
For that matter, it never got very good bookings in England, either - the distributors were afraid that audiences wouldn't understand the movie's Yorkshire accents. This is the typical sort of blind muddling that seems to go on, whenever a good film comes along that's slightly out of the ordinary; nobody was afraid of Michael Caine's accent in "Alfie," maybe because "Alfie" had enough sex scenes to carry the day. None of this would be important if "Kes" were not one of the best, the warmest, the most moving films of recent years. After a couple of years in limbo, it was finally picked up for 16-mm distribution in 1972 and had its Chicago premiere last April at Loyola. The movie is about a teenager and his trained kestrel, and it's perhaps inevitable that it took Loyola's Biological Honor Society to arrange the booking - were they interested in the movie, or the kestrel?
"Kes" was directed by Ken Loach, a young British filmmaker who has now made three movies of high quality and disappointing commercial performance. His "Poor Cow," with Carol White, was an ambitious but somewhat confusing movie about a barmaid who becomes pregnant; it would have fared better, I think, in these latter days of women's lib. After "Kes," he made "Family Life," which got good notices at the 1972 Cannes festival and opened in New York last fall as "Wednesdays Child." This was the story of a misfit adolescent girl and her uptight parents, and it was effective in a grim, slice-of-life way.
But "Kes" is Loach at his best. He shot it on a very low budget, on location, using most local nonprofessionals as his leads. His story is about a boy who's caught in England's class-biased educational system. He reaches school-leaving age and decides to leave, but doesn't have anything else he much cares about. He's the butt of jokes and hostility at home (where his older brother rules), and inarticulate with his contemporaries.
One day he finds a small kestrel hawk, and trains it to hunt. The bird becomes his avenue to a free and natural state - the state his soul needs, and that his home and school deny him. And then the system, alarmed or offended by his freedom, counterattacks. The film has a heartbreaking humanity.

POP MUSIC IS LOADED WITH OVER-NIGHT-SENSATION stories, but All-4-One's is shorter than most. The foursome weren't even a group until last fall. But faster than you can say "Boyz II Men." their sweet, retro-smooth R&B harmonies have sent two singles ("So Much in Love" and "I Swear") off their self-titled gold debut album sprinting into the Top 10. Just as suddenly, Jamie Jones, 19, Tony Borowiak, 21, Alfred Nevarez, 20, and Delious, 23—whose collective performing experience had been confined to church choirs and talent shows—find themselves singing to 18,000 screaming girls. "It trips me out to see them crying," says Jones, still awestruck.
Native Californians Borowiak, Nevarez and Jones met while competing on the West Coast talent-show circuit. After a record producer suggested they form a group, the trio began searching for a fourth to round out their sound. They found him singing "Ebony & Ivory" at a karaoke contest in Lancaster, Calif. Delious, who grew up in various locations as an Air Force brat, had just quit another group. "Too many egos," says Delious, who had intended to stay solo. "I really don't know what made me [join]." Perhaps those perfect harmonies brought Delious into the fold. "Me and Tony's voices are thin," says Jones. "Delious gave some fullness. Together everything clicked."
With their lineup established, they auditioned for Blitzz Records, an affiliate of Atlantic. One pitch-perfect, a cappella version of the 1963 Tymes classic "So Much in Love" was enough to get them signed to a five-year deal, a decision that has already proved profitable.
As All-4-One prepares for a summer tour, the group need only conquer fears of flying and overzealous fans. "I'm finding out little girls can be very strong," says Borowiak. "When five of them get a hold of your arm, they can lift you up."
