The cabin has everything imaginable! Plenty of space for a large family. The owners are wonderful and respond quickly to any questions we had. We enjoyed relaxing in the Jacuzzi on the bottom deck and grilling out during the evening. And don't forget to take advantage of the fire pit out front to make smores for dessert. We can't wait to go back!
We had a wonderful restful stay here! Cabin had everything imaginable. The view was amazing:)
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful and relaxing places we have ever stayed. We just didn't want to leave. There are so many fine restaurants available and many points of interest including gemstone mining. Overlooking the river gives a view second to none! We highly recommend it and will go back next March!
Where do I start? From the first sight of our arrival to the last glance back at our departure, we were thrilled w/the week we had together at this beautiful location. This property has everything on the outside and even more in the inside. We enjoyed everything about this log home, from the furnishings to the views. Everything was beyond our expectations. The coziness of the fireplace to the fun in the game room. Location was very convenient to all the places in the area that we wanted to visit. We were not misled by any description regarding this place. Well maintained, great customer service, decorated to make you feel welcomed and would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. One of our favorite restaurant was Café Rel in Franklin. We also liked Mi Casa in Franklin. Dry Falls was our favorite Water Fall in Highlands. The day spent at the Biltmore Estates was great. There was just so much......We can not wait til our next return to the top of this mountain!
I wish we could see Deanie in person to give her a big hug for sharing her beautiful home with us!! It was our daughter's 15 birthday& we needed a place for the 3 of us & 5 of her friends. When some hear 6 teenagers, they quickly back away. But Deanie & her brother Clennie (who helps with the property) were more than welcoming & all about us making memories -- which we did! The kids couldn't stop talking about what a beautiful place they were in & how grateful they were to be there. They had plenty of space to talk & hang out while my husband & I had just enough space to be near them yet find peace & quiet. My favorite spot was in one of the lounge chairs on the deck overlooking the mountains & TN river. We are back home now & already missing that beautiful cabin!! Thank you again for a family memory we won't soon forget.
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin more than words can say! The house is very clean and is stocked with everything you need to feel like you are at your home away from home! The large L-shaped reclining sofa is so comfy....the game room and hot tub kept us occupied much of the time and I was thankful that the owners have satellite TV on the many flat screen TV's....so my kids didn't have to argue over the TV! The only negative I can say is there was no internet, but that wasn't a big deal to us, though it might be for some. We went tubing in the river, visited the Highlands, and the Fun Factory, but mostly we enjoyed doing absolutely nothing at this beautiful house! The owner is very nice and easy to work with. I would recommend this house to anyone....you won't be sorry. The pictures don't do it justice....the house is absolutely beautiful!

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 15, 1982, New Braunfels, Texas Dallas, Texas #75?- ti ic rep lex , lac. ■••tt: l'lltCh Wgmele I .0. DOX ^5^3oballas, rexas 75pitf CompRanger's testimony focus of murder trial By DEBBIE TURNER Staff writer The jury in the murder trial of Michael Ross Felder will not be allowed to hear a portion of testimony from Texas Ranger Ray Martinez. Presiding Judge Fred Moore made that ruling after hearing Martinez testify about his contact with Mrs. Deanne Felder, the defendant's wife, in November of 1981. The testimony was heard without the presence of the jury. Moore ruled Martinez' testimony about Mrs. Felder's help in the crime scene identification infringed on the husband-wife privilege. "The law is with the defendant in this respect," Moore said. "Martinez can testify but he can't say she (Mrs. Felder) was present or that she led him to the skeletal remains." Felder is charged in the shooting death of Clifton James Slate, 89, of Palestine. Slate's skeletal remains were found Nov. 21, 1981, in a wooded area near a ranch off Bear Creek Road in Comal County. A shotgun blast to the back of the head was ruled the cause of death by an Austin medical examiner. Slate was reported missing to the Palestine Police Department in May of 1981. A member of that police force, Detective Sergeant Gary Thomas, testified Tuesday that Slate's ex-wife Debra Harris contacted him, and said she had some information she felt he should see. The information turned out to be four American Express credit card receipts, and a check on Slate's account that were received in the mail, and given to Slate's daughter, Kim Brooks. Mrs. Brooks testified she had opened her father's mail looking for a clue where he might be. A private investigator from Dallas, Morris Brumley, was retained June I by Slate's family and friends. His purpose was to locate Clifton James Slate. "I .started in New Braunfels, then went to the Holiday Inn hotel in Seguin," Brumley testified. "Then I went to motels in Edinburg, Mercedes, Brownsville and South Padre Island. I went those places because someone using Mr. Slate's name had checked into these motels." Brumley said he later talked to someone at the Palestine Police Department on what he had unearthed. "Did you located Clifton James Slate?" District Attorney Bill Schroeder asked. "No, I have not," Brumley responded. The credit card receipts and check were delivered to Ranger Martinez by Thomas. Martinez testified he took them to the Department of Public Safety Question Documents Section in Austin. Another state's exhibit entered into evidence, was a handwriting speciment (commonly referred to as the 'London Letter'), penned by Felder in Martinez' office. "Was a handwriting expert present at the time this was done?" Defense Attorney John Chunn asked. "No," Martinez said.

The troops entered west Beirut in a "limited" move "to prevent fighting and secure peace," after the Tuesday blast that killed Gemayel, the Tel Aviv command said. It gave no details, but Beirut radio stations reported shooting between advancing Israeli forces and leftist Moslem militiamen. For the first time in their 14-week-old invasion, the Israelis drove into the former PLO nerve center in the Fakhani neighborhood. They also entered the Kuwaiti Embassy area and the adjacent Bir Hassan neigborhood on the edge of the Chatilla refugee camp, and the coastal strip stretching from Ouzai to the burned-out Summerland Hotel, Beirut radios reported. I The Israeli command also clamped «i curfew on Sidon, the main city in southern Lebanon, and closed the Lebanese-Israeli border to all but military traffic. Prime Minister Menachem Begin's spokesman, Uri Porat, told reporters in Jerusalem the army entered west Beirut to head off "a dangerous situation." U.S. presidential envoy Morris Draper met with Begin for nearly an hour and said, "the shattering experience of Bashir Gemayel's assassination yesterday has complicated the problem for us, but we are going to move forward with determination." No group claimed responsibility for the assassination, but Gemayel was opposed by Palestinians, lebanese leftists and their Syrian allies who saw him moving toward a peace treaty with Israel. Gemayel also had rivals for power in the Christian community and escaped two previous assassination attempts. Although Gemayel had not said he would seek a peace treaty between Lebanon and Israel, he had met with Israeli leaders and some of his foes criticized hun for cooperation with the invading Israeli forces. He was the third leader in the Arab world linked to accommodation with Israel to be assassinated. King Abdullah of Jordan was killed See LEBANON, Page 14A Death of a princess Crash injuries fatal to Grace Kelly MONTE CARIX), Monaco (AP) — The jody of Princess Grace lay in state today in a 18th century palace chapel and her subjects came to pay respects to the Oscar-winning actress who left Hollywood 26 years ago but remained one of its most beloved stars. The former Grace Kelly died in a Monaco hospital Tuesday at the age of 52 from a cerebral hemorrhage, about 86 hours after her car somersaulted 120 feet down a mountainside, trapping her inside. Guards with black arm bands stood vigil and flags flew at half staff today atop the royal palace rn honor of the princess, who reached stardom in ll films that included "High Noon," "Dial M for Murder," "Rear Window," and "Country Girl," for which she won an Academy Award in 1955. The guards allowed only Monaco residents to enter the castle to sign a condolence book, but several hundred tourists gathered outside to snap pictures of the "Rock of Monaco." Only the estimated 80,000 residents of the principality were to be allowed to view the coffin later today, the palace said. The glittering Monte Carlo casinos closed their doors for two days, flags were lowered to half-staff on the banks lining the Boulevard des Moulins and a championship soccer game was moved from the city as Monaco mourned its story-book princess. No funeral date has been set, but Radio Monte Carlo reported it could be as late as Monday. Prince Rainier III was at his wife's bedside when she died, along with two of her children — Princess Caroline, 26, and Crown Prince Albert, 24, said Nadia LaCoste, who had been spokeswoman for Princess Grace. Princess Stephanie, 17, received minor injuries in the car crash Monday and was under observation at the hospital named after her mother, palace officials said. "The princess regained consciousness at some point before her death because she requested that if people were going to send flowers, they be small, simple flowers," Mrs. I measle said "She also suggested that people might make donations to her favorite charities in lieu of flowers. Mrs. I.acoste said she could not say if the princess was aware of her critical condition when she made the requests. The princess died at 10:80 p.m. Tuesday (4:80 p.m. EDT). The palace said all possibilities of treatment had been exhausted by "late in the day." The tiny principality on a rocky slice of the French Riviera immediately went into mourning w hen Grace's death was announced just before midnight. In the casino that made Monaco famous in Edwardian tunes, roulette wheels were brought to a stop and the blackjack cards packed away. The floodlights were turned off and the doors quietly closed.

[bleating funds to combat the problems resulting from county-wide growth, tourism and the Guadalupe River State Park that will open next year, is one of the first priorities set by the Comal County Growth and Development Committee. The 15-member committee, which was formed by Commissioners Court to study the effects of county growth, reached this conclusion Tuesday night upon questioning from its chairman, Spring Branch resident Charles Knibbe. This is the second meeting the main steering committee has held. "I hear us saying these are the problems and this is what we need to do...I also hear ifs going to take money," Knibbe commented. "...is it the committee's general opinion that if we could get some money we could find ways — either through Commissioners Court or through legislation — whatever, to help solve these problems?" he questioned those ll members present. Among those agreeing with Knibbe was Ken Karger, chairman of the subcommittee studying the Lower Guadalupe River area of the county.

Because that man reportedly pulled a con job known as the "bank audit swindle" on the woman, to the tune of $4,800. The conversation in question took place at the corner of Casten Avenue and Mill Street in front of the Post Office between 4:30 and 5 p.m. Friday. It ended with the local woman handing the suspect $4,800 which he said he needed to conduct a fictitious gambling investigation on a teller at Texas Commerce Bank-New Braunfels, Det. IX. Felix Roque said. The scam began shortly after 4 p.m. Friday, and involved two telephone callers and the suspect, who was called "Charles" by one of the callers. The first caller identified himself as "bank examiner George Hoskins", Roque said, and asked the woman if she does business with the bank. He also asked for the amount of her last deposit, discovered it was around $5,000, and then said he'd call back. The next caller said he was "Captain Gene Phillips with the Department of Public Safety." The bogus captain said he was cooperating with Hoskins in his investigation of a bank teller. Hoskins then called back, was informed that Phillips had supported his story, and then asked the woman to write a check for $4,800 and cash it at the drive-in window. He also took a description of her car, and told her after she had done that, to meet "Charles" (who he described as a "government man") at the Post Office. She did as she was told, and at the Post Office she met a man described as a white male, age 80, 5-7, 170 pounds, with dark hair and eyes and a short beard. Carrying a briefcase, he flashed a badge and asked for the money. He told her that her account would be credited for the $4,800, and that he was going back to the bank. He w alked around the corner of the Post Office up Mill Street and hasn't been seen since, Roque said. Roque said a similar incident occurred in Seguin March 6, 1981.

text: Posted October 19, 2007 Made it up last Saturday and fished from 7-1. We fished the Northwest side and the night started out very slow. We didn't catch a fish until about 8:15. We were fishing from 5-8' of water and ended the night with 15 walleyes and a monster northern that we guessed weighed btwn 15-20 lbs. The water temp. was 55 and the wind went from flat calm to a wind out of the east which gave us some pretty good rollers. All fish were caught on #12 HJ's with purple perch being the hot color. The key for us was having our lines out about 50' as the weeds were a problem if we were any further back. Our boat speed was btwn 1.2-1.7 mph. We did catch four slot fish which was a surprise. The bite was a little better than last weeks bite and I'm hoping it gets progressively better this weekend. Also, very little boat traffic on the water which was nice. Good luck this weekend.

Gynecomastia often goes away without treatment in less than two years. However, treatment may be necessary if gynecomastia doesn't improve on its own or if it causes significant pain, tenderness or embarrassment. Medications used to treat breast cancer and other conditions, such as tamoxifen and raloxifene may be helpful for some men with gynecomastia...if you still have significant bothersome breast enlargement despite initial treatment or observation, your doctor may advise surgery...consult nearest surgeon they will do the needful.

Chinese Man Detained for Posting Photos of Him in Tiananmen
A Chinese man has been criminally detained after posting online recent photos of him standing in front of Tiananmen. Liu Wei was taken by Chongqing police from Beijing back to his hometown and charged with "Picking Quarrels and Provoking Troubles" on May 17.
Liu posted photos of him in Tiananmen Square with a message "Welcome to Beijing". He told reporters he went to Beijing in April to visit friends, according to a report on Chinese human rights websitewww.weiquanwang.org. He told Radio Free Asia that he had "touched a nerve" of the government by posting the photos. One photo shows him sticking his arm forward, reminiscent of Nazi salute. The other photo is of him flashing a V sign. While it's a frequent gesture by tourists, recently Chinese activists have called on people showing the V sign to commemorate the Tiananmen movement of 1989 when protesters flashed the V sign in marches and rallies.
The 28-year-old man from Chongqing had been jailed for two year for posting about the Jasmine Revolution in 2011. He was released in 2013 but has been under constant watch ever since. His parents have also been harassed by the police. The rural man's father is disabled and mother is illiterate. His friend Huang Chengcheng said: "He's a man of independent thinking. He has his own views on this country and this system. He's a young man of conscience."
Huang appeals people to help Liu find a good lawyer. His cell is +86-13896683369

S&P cut Portugal's credit rating by two notches to BBB
Standard and Poor's cut Portugal's credit rating by two notches to BBB after the rejection of austerity budget yesterday and resignation of Prime Minister Socrates yesterday, which is expected to affect confidence and result in political instability as well as increase the possibility of accepting a bailout, especially after the approval of new measures by EU leaders yesterday.
S&P said it may lower the rating by another notch next week in addition to other possible cuts over the coming three to six months, but this will depend on the form of the bailout provided to the debt-strapped nations.
It also, expects the new government to agree on the austerity measures.

America's Coolest Pizza Ovens
5 of 17
Sotto; Los Angeles
Sotto's massive, vibrant-yellow-tiled oven burns only white oak, and reaches more than 900 degrees. It was built onsite over the course of one week by the legendary Stefano Ferrara, a third-generation Neapolitan oven maker, and an assistant. The oven's incredibly specific internal measurements, which are kept a trade secret, help generate the heat that allows crispy-crusted pizzas to cook in less than a minute. Must try: The ultra-creamy guanciale: house-cured pork cheek, ricotta, scallions and a dusting of fennel pollen. sottorestaurant.com

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Wilmington Hammerheads have a new owner.
The Port City's only professional sports franchise announced today George Altirs, CEO at Capelli New York, has purchased the a majority share in the team.
Altirs is co-founder of GMA Accessories Inc., the parent company of Capelli New York and GMA Shanghai Company Ltd. GMA Accessories Inc. is a manufacturer and importer of apparel, footwear and fashion accessories for women and children.
"The opportunity to partner with Bill Rudisill and the Wilmington Hammerheads brings exciting possibilities," Altirs said in a news release. "The Wilmington Hammerheads is a club with great tradition and history through its active years. I am looking forward to becoming involved within the Wilmington community and helping with the continued development of the Wilmington Hammerheads both on and off the field."
Rudisill, who was majority owner, will step down to become a minority owner of the Hammerheads after being involved with ownership of the team for 13 years. Rudisill will be the only member of former ownership returning to the Hammerheads.
"I am excited, yet emotional, to sell the club and take a lesser ownership role," Rudisill said in a statement. "As a minority owner I will continue my involvement with the club as in the past, but with a smaller financial stake. I wanted the right person to come along for the Hammerheads. After talking with George (Altirs) over the last few weeks, I believe the Hammerheads have a very bright and promising future. George, I feel, will continue with great success."
All current front office staff will continue to run the day-to-day business of the team.

I was not sure what made me agreed on taking Ember and her friends safely to the Hall of Seasons. When Lord Phobos struck me with his dark energy ball I was sure to die, nobody was ever known to survive his magic. I slipped to unconsciousness for some moments and I saw in my dream four people, each with paintbrushes and paint pallets. The eldest of them all approached me with a paintbrush and a paint pallet, he handed me those depicting instruments with a smile. I took them, uncertain.
"You have been chosen, young Caleb, to lead the daughter of the elements to the Hall of Seasons." The aging man told me, he place a hand on my shoulder and directed my view to a freshly painted mural before me. It was me who was painted, a scene depicting the moment Lord Phobos had attacked me and Ember was cast aside in the drawing.
"What is this place? How have I been chosen? I am not good, I am evil," I said, a million question arising.
"Hush, my son," the amiable man lift his hand, "just accept your future. You shouldn't have been found by Phobos, it was our fault. We were deceived, but that stays in the past. Protect Ember and take her safely to the Hall, that is your mission."
I bowed in agreement. After that I regained consciousness and planned the escape.
"Hey Caleb," Ember's voice called.We were walking through the dark and dense forest, I was shrinking the shrubs that obstructed our path.
I turned around and gave her a smile, "yes?"
"I was wondering if you know why we... I am going to the Hall of Seasons..." Ember asked.
"To be honest, I am as unsure of your duty in that place as you are," I answered, "but don't worry, everything will be clear out once we arrive."
Ember half smiled.
"Wherever you go we will be with you," Katherine gave her friend a warm squeeze.
Shadows clouded the little sunlight penetrating from the canopy, I jerked my head upwards, and saw nothing. We will have to pick up our pace if I want to take them to safety, I thought. "We have to get moving, Phobos army of shadows might be closing on us pretty soon."
"What exactly is an army of shadows?" Lucus asked.
"Phobos creations," I said. I noticed I dropped the "Lord", a clear symbols of my secession from Phobos. "They feed on fear and dwell in shadows. This forest will provide them a great advantage in battlefield..."
A shrill cry surrounded us, coming from the shrubbery from around us. I turned in time to watch three shadows materialize themselves from behind the shrubs. Shadows with no face, pitch black colour, staggering forward.
"Behind me!" I commanded, creating a dark energy ball on the palm of my hand. I threw it at the shadows, causing them no harm. The shadows absorbed my energy ball, and grew in size.
"I thought you were suppose to protect us!" Katherine demanded, "you have just increased their size!"
"They also feed on dark magic," I realized, "Phobos doesn't want any dark sorcerer to be able to defeat them..."
"What now!?" Ember exclaimed as they were closing in on us.
"Run," I said, the only escape. "Run to a meadow or a clearing, just run somewhere with sunlight!"
We began running away from the shadows, we ran as fast as we could but the shadows were still in a close proximity.
We are not going to make it, this forest is too big. I took my decision, "Keep running, find the Hall of Season!" I commanded, I stopped running and turn to face the dark nightmares. I was left behind. I wished Ember good luck.
"Wait, we cannot leave him!" Ember shriek, "he saved our lives back at Phobos castle! We have to go back." They were on their way back.
"Ember, use your magic!" Katherine said.
"My magic is not strong enough," Ember answered in a low voice.
"Well, his dark magic isn't very useful against those things!" Katherine retorted. "You are the only hope we have to ever come out of this alive."
Lucus caught a sturdy branch off the ground and charged to one of the shadows. He thrust the branch with all his strength, sending the shadow away from them. I had changed tactics, instead of using dark energy balls I was using energy barriers. It was quite resourceful. The arm of a shadow swung me too hard and I impacted against a tree. Two shadows were closing into me, their bodies swaying.

My colleague Don Tennant connected the dots from Dice.com's February report to conclude, "IT Job Prospects Are Looking up in the 'Rust Belt.' "On the list of cities showing the fastest growth in tech jobs, after the unexpected winner, Detroit, came three Ohio cities: Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus.
A survey released Wednesday by the nonprofit Technology for Ohio's Tomorrow and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce backs that. Forty-seven percent of the tech companies said they plan to hire full-time workers this year, up from 41 percent in last year's survey. One quarter expect to hire contractors, up from 21 percent. Tech companies made up just under half of the 263 respondents.
Of those who said said their core business did not depend on technology (54.7 percent), the four major sectors were manufacturing and distribution, financial services, retail and health care. There must be something screwy with the wording in the survey, because of course all those industries rely on technology. When I interviewed Jack Phillips, CEO of the research firm International Institute for Analytics, he used retail as an example where analytics provide the competitive difference these days. Perhaps those companies meant that technology was not their core business.
Separately, Manpower reported earlier this month that in six months, the overall employment picture in Columbus has gone from being one of the worst in the nation to one of the best, according to Columbus Business First.
Meanwhile, TechLife Ohio, a Columbus network for technology groups, posted this list of open tech jobs there.

Hi all,
Anyone remeber a song that was frequently played by Live Earl and Bevery Hills called \"Potato Land\"?
Lyrics were very basic and went something like:
Take my hand,
Go potato land.
(repeat ad infinitem)
It was sort of a catchy tune and I've been looking for information reguarding the artist or origin of the tune.
Anyone remember it?

Crashing Down
The bell rang and the crowd dispersed. Enough for me to see Riza and enough for her to see me. She turned around and started walking away.
"Hey! Hold up!" I yelled.
Riza skidded to a stop and smiled at me. I knew that smile. It was the smile that all the boys in our grade went crazy for. "Hi Mira.'
I shoved the picture to her and exploded. "Hi? Is that all you can say? Riza I can't believe you did that!" I say gesturing to the photo.
She scans it and hope fluttered inside me. She might just go back to being the old Riza I know and love. "I look good don't I?'
Or not.
"Riza, look! Have you seen the comments already?" I sigh exasperated.
"Okay look, M. Don't get yCriour pants in a bunch. This is the last." She said solemn.
"Yeah. You can come with me next time!" She beamed.
I couldn't believe it! She thought I was mad because I didn't come.
"Excuse me, shouldn't you be getting to class?" The hall monitor asked us.
Riza ran her hand through her hair "Okay, here's what I think. We'll talk about this later at lunch." She says walking away to her first class.
Fuming and frustrated, the dark emotions I had been feeling earlier grew as I entered class. I didn't listen to Ms. Summers as I drew squiggles on my journal.
Circles, going round and round
The pain seizing and crippling
What's wrong with me?
Those bitter emotions fueled me until I couldn't breath. I did the only thing I could, I thought of Kevin. I calmed down but the anger and bitterness at my fall out with Riza earlier remained.
I ended the class with high spirits as I ran to Kevin's locker. He'd know what to do. He always did.
Well, he was doing something I didn't expect.
He was kissing Jane.

College of DuPage Meteorology professors Victor Gensini and Paul Sirvatka (blue shirt) make final preparations before launching a weather balloon April 16 at the College's Glen Ellyn campus, 425 Fawell Blvd. The balloon, which travels approximately 12.5 miles into the atmosphere, allows meteorology students and faculty to track a variety of atmospheric conditions, including humidity, temperature, wind speed and direction, dew point, barometric pressure and atmospheric density, as well as trajectory data such as latitude, longitude, altitude and flight path. Attendees were able to view the data and watch the flight path in real-time via Google Maps and see a three-dimensional rendering of the flight path and altitude trajectory.

305 reviews | 4.6 out of 5
A while ago I bought the bowl when the individuals for sale. Since then I've broke many other plates in the microwave from a cheaper set (blue glass) from walmart. Once I found these I knew I had to have them. First I like the color combination, that's what drew me to them in the first place. Second, they are much more durable than the cheaper set. I've done the same things over and over that broke the previous plates, and nothing has happened to these. $40 in store, which you're not likely to see), and $35 online which is how I purchased. The small plate is quite large at roughly 8.5" x 8.5", while the larger plate is 10.5"x10.5". Brand on the back says Gibson, and they are made in china. Would I recommend them? Yes, I'm thinking of buying another set in a different color.
I've been looking for dishes for a while, and I absolutely love these! The red is beautiful, and I love the modern look. The are good quality and seem pretty durable so far. I have six kids and I'm not worried about them breaking very easily.
I ordered a set of 8 and another set of 4 for a total of 12. (It was cheaper that way.) They arrived on time, and none of them were damaged. They were packed really well.
The dinner plate is huge, and I love it. We can eat spaghetti and salad on the same plate without the food touching, so my kids won't complain. The salad plate is just slightly smaller than a normal dinner plate, so I can use it for lunches or whatever. The bowls are big, and my 13 yr old son can finally get enough cereal in one bowl.
I bought these for my 40th birthday and used the large plates and the bowls at my party as serving dishes. They looked beautiful!
They have been fine in the dishwasher and microwave. They do heat up a bit in the microwave, but it's not abnormal.
I would absolutely recommend these dishes. They were an amazing price for good looking and good quality dishes.
Please, HomeTrends/Walmart... Stop putting those god-awful 'HANDMADE!' stickers on your dishes. They are difficult to remove and like another reviewer has already said, leaves sticky glue residue all over the dish... The sticker serves no purpose besides marketing, it doesn't even have the price tag. Cut it out or find another type of adhesive to use (like the white sticker with the price tag on the bottom of the dish - that one doesn't leave residue).
Otherwise, I love HomeTrends dishware. Pretty stuff.
(Attached a photo of the residue all over my brand new mug I just bought...)
The pics do not do this set justice. It's a much richer red. The dishes are sturdy, well-made and gorgeous. We'll probably order another set for dinner parties.
Loved the dishes, I had 6 of the cups for years now. I bought them at Walmart Store but didn't have the money to buy the box set of dishes at the time then they quit selling them at our local Walmart store. In those years there is only 1 tiny chip in a coffee cup. After reading this products reviews I took my chances since the coffee cups held up so well for me. Problem was I ordered two boxes of dishes, wanted to be sure the dishes all matched which they did but the reviews are true the dishes do come broken. I would of loved to have a replacement of the broken dishes only but Walmart store in my area said no on that to just bring the dish set back store. I kept the one box of dishes that weren't broke. They really are beautiful and eating off them you feel your eating at a nice restaurant. If Walmart would of put the box of dishes in bubble wrap and a bigger box they probably wouldn't of broke. I'm sure their losing money on people returning the box of dishes for a few broken dishes.
All plates fit perfectly in our cabinets, do well in the microwave and dishwasher (we have a small .07 cu. ft. microwave and the largest of the plates won't fit in there, but the smaller plates fit nicely). Dishes are heavy, but I certainly did not expect Czech china lightness and transparency for 40$. I've banged plates against each other, accidentally dropped them inside dishwasher and none of them chipped. The colour is great and goes nicely with our contemporary kitchen! It looked extremely bright on the picture and I was concerned it may look a little too obnoxious, but the actual colour is a little more subdued, which we like so much! My only gripe is the giant size of the largest of the plates. No human being should be able to eat nearly as much as the large plate can fit!! I actually use them as charger plates sometimes, as well as after-dinner fruit and cheese "platters" or to serve hors d'oeuvre.
Bowls are great looking and extremely versatile. Cups are great! Although they are square, their sides are a bit rounded so one does not have to sip from the corner. The inside is black so it's a little hard to see how strong the tea is, but, again, not a big deal. All in all, we were extremely happy with the set's appearance, quality, durability and price.
I love these dishes! The are beautiful, sturdy, well made and very affordable. And, red, my favorite.
I was suprised at the quality and its nice that there is an order sheet inside the box to order additional pieces.
Though this product states not sold in stores, my local Walmart stocks it at $34 and I bought 3 sets. I absolutely adore them! All three sets stack and store so beautifully on one shelf in a large corner cabinet. My old round plates and bowls took up 2 full shelves in the same cabinet! I really don't know why dishes were ever round. They wash up very nicely, look great on my table and have ample sizing. We normally use the salad plates for meals however the very large dinner plates work very well for pasta dishes and entertaining. My everyday dishes have become really everyday, whether guests or just us. I've already purchased the 8 and 10 inch bowls as well as the large platter and am considering buying another set of dishes in case of breakage! Do not hesittate on this one! The color is true red and if you're a red lover like me you won't be disappointed!
Wow! We are very pleased with the quality and appearance of this set; we are using the lunch plates for our dinners since they are so large! We like it so much, we may be ordering a 2nd set for family dinners!
I just wish we could buy more serving pieces other that the large platter.
Purchased 4 sets. None ONE broken dish. Love the beauty and quality of these dishes. 5 Star!
My husband and I love the look of these dishes, but very quickly found out they easily chip and break.
Also, these dishes get very hot in the microwave, even if you only microwave for less than two minutes. Usually I start microwaving food in a glass dish before switching it to the red plates/bowls.
These look great but I do NOT recommend them.
I was looking for a red dish set, yet needed something that would last through teeagers handling from microwave, to sink, to diswasher and these do the job!!
I have now owned this set for 8 months and couldn't be happier. They withstand a houseful of teens, and not one of them have a chip!! I bought 2 sets at once because sometimes it can take a while to load the dishwasher, and even with the banging around of kids putting stuff in the dishwasher these have stood up beautifully. The coffee cups are tapered a bit, and I can actually use it in my cars cup holder! Very nice for my ride to work in the morning...
The larger plates are huge, and work well for something like spaghetti because you would normally have to have a separate plate or napkin for your bread, but with this set, you can include the garlic bread on the same plate! Thanksgiving was great, everyone used just one plate, and didn't need to go back for seconds, they got it on one plate! And the bowls hold one can of Campbell's Chunky Soup perfectly!!
I would very highly recommend this set to anyone looking for something that has both durability and beauty.
Normally, I wouldn't take time to submit a review but I've had my dinnerware for over a year (when offered in the stores) & was ordering an add'l 4 pc setting & decided to send in my review. I love this set! This product is both beautiful & durable & can be used as both your everyday dinnerware in addition to feeling proud to serve your guests with them also. If you do a lot of entertaining, I'd advise you to pick up a few add'l serviing pieces in the black or red rave. Table looks great mixing the colors as the black edging shows on the rims of plates & interior of the bowls & cup (cups are mugs but probably are only 12 oz & not huge coffee mug, if that was what you were wanting but perfect size for me). I even used my dinnerware as my entertaining Christmas dishes in 2009 adding inexpensive (less than $2.00 ea.) large gold chargers to my table settings & also adding a few add'l Holiday pieces easily added in that brought everything together b/c of red, gold & black writing & Holiday pix on the few Christmas dishes I added as acccents. Much easier than putting my normal dishes away for a month to use my holiday dishes. 5 stars for from me all the way around. Okay, gonna go...need to finish ordering mine b4 you buy them all from me. = )
I ordered these for Thanksgiving, I ordered two sets so that I could have 8 settings. They are absolutely beautiful. The large dinner plates are huge and hold a lot of food, you could actually use the smaller salad plates instead, they also held a large amount of food. I used the smaller plates for the kids at dinner, had plenty of dishes for 11. They are so stylish and contemporary, I got tons of compliments. I would recommend to anyone. The red it deep and dark and has some inflections to it, it gives it an earthenware look. I also put them through the dishwasher and although the large plates were a tight squeeze they fit nicely after raising the top shelf of the dishwasher. They still look shiny and brand new afterward.
I love the color. I bought these to add to the same set I had bought several years ago, a few had chipped with use. One big plate had a chip in it (large chunk out of it enough that the plate was unusable) when I opened the box, but it wasn't worth it to me to contact customer service since I was supplementing what I already owned. 5 stars if the one wasn't chipped. I understand these things happen.
I bought these a few months ago because of the color and shape. I have two plates that are now gone due to chipping in the dishwasher. Also, they get entirely too hot in the microwave. If you have the plate in for more than 30 seconds, they are too hot to remove without an oven mitt and take a good while to cool off. Food sticks to these. I have had to literally scrape off even scrambled eggs because the plate gets as hot as the food when it is placed on it. I do not recommend this product.
I purchased these over a year ago and love them. They are great in the dishwasher and microwave. Still very pretty. And the bowls and plates are so large that I use them as serving platters. I also purchased the large serving bowl and rectangular platter, these are beautiful with fruit in them all year around. I'm ordering a second and third set for Thanksgiving this year. They are oversized, heavy and perfect for company. I use them everyday and they are all still in perfect condition.
p.s. I accidently ordered 2 of the Soho Gibson Square sets, they arrived chipped and were thin and delicate. Beware because they look so much alike on the computer screen but in person they are miles apart. I use these as knock around dishes. Send leftovers to friends using the Gibsons. Stick with the Hometrends for dinner parties and dishwashers.
I LOVE these dishes. They have held out without a single break or scratch for over 9 months (you just have to double check to make sure that they are fine when they come out of the box - I had a few that came with pits and had to exchange them). I've been slowly collecting the accessories (platters and serving bowls), but the last time I went in to Wal-Mart to pick out my new addition, I found that the stores are clearing them out. It seems that like most popular items, it is no longer going to be sold. So, I'm buying everything I can get my hands on (even considering getting another set of dishes in case something falls to the floor or I have a huge family get-together.
My only real complaint about this set is that the lunch size dishes and dessert bowls (the smaller plates and bowls) are what I would consider a "normal size" dish. I would love for there to be smaller plates and bowls that match (I have had to settle with a bowl that is the same color red, but has no black).
I BEG Wal-Mart to keep this product in stores, and I BEG the manufacture to extend the line.
Had bought these previously and broke a plate ordered these as replacements. They are great dishes and very sturdy.
I have my kitchen decorated in Coca Cola. I was wanting something that would match, and tie into the more contemporary side of my kitchen also. This set fit perfectly! They do look a little bubbly on the black side and the cups are not perfect on the lines but if you read it says each one is unique. I wish I would have gotten the sheet in mine to order additional peices. May be bc I bought them in the store. But overall I am very pleased with what I got for the money. They are plenty big, durable, and heavy. Just wish I could get more of them.

Electoral college to decide Estonian presidential race
An electoral college will vote between the sitting president and an US-educated diplomat at the final stage of Estonia's presidential election.
President Arnold Ruutel, 78, is seeking re-election for another five-year term and is considered a front-runner in the race.
He has a good chance of keeping his job as the 101-seat Riigikogu, or parliament, failed to settle on a candidate in three earlier voting rounds in late August.
Ruutel's main rival is European Parliament member Toomas Hendrik Ilves, 52, a two-time foreign minister, former diplomat and journalist.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Julia WhittyOct. 2, 2007 9:42 PM
We already know that exposure to ozone, a major component of urban air pollution, increases cardiovascular and pulmonary hospitalizations, and deaths. Now Duke University Medical Center finds that inhaled pollutants impair the immune system, making mice, at least, more susceptible to subsequent foreign invaders, such as bacteria. This just as the Environmental Protection Agency is reviewing the standards for levels of ozone in the air. The current standard is 85 parts per billion. Many medical groups, including the American Thoracic Society, recommend a stricter standard of 60 parts per billion.
(BTW, have I mentioned that we should build a memorial the size of Kansas to all the lab rodents who've unwilling sacrificed themselves so you and I can get fat, do no exercise, make pollution, and still live to 90? I'm thinking a giant white, faux Swiss cheese rat, inscribed with the names all the little lab pets were never given. You and I can write them in with Sharpies.)

Thought we were done with this problem? A new study from Britain finds that the acid rain pollution of the 1970s and 1980s is still largely with us. Action taken over the last 20 years across Europe to clean up acid pollutants (from power generation and industry) in rivers has fallen far short of expectations. Apparently the problem is more stubborn than we'd imagined (read why it's even more stubborn in the U.S). Recent studies in Galloway, the Scottish Highlands and Wales reveal that many streams are still highly acidified. Biological recovery has been particularly poor, with more than two thirds of all streams sampled still acid enough during high flow to cause biological damage, and with metals at toxic concentrations. . . Oops. Further proof that the not-paying-attention thing never really works.—Julia Whitty is Mother Jones' environmental correspondent.

Hey, it's working. The long slumber is coming to an end. A Yale University survey found 40 percent of Americans will only vote for a presidential candidate who has a strong sense of urgency on the global warming problem.
"One of the most surprising findings was the growing sense of urgency," said Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Project on Climate Change and the study's principal investigator. "Nearly half of Americans now believe that global warming is either already having dangerous impacts on people around the world or will in the next 10 years—a 20-percentage-point increase since 2004. These results indicate a sea change in public opinion."
The survey's findings reveals that 62% of Americans believe life on earth will continue without major disruptions only if society takes immediate and drastic action to reduce global warming; 68% support a new international treaty requiring the U.S. to cut its emissions of carbon dioxide 90% by 2050; 85% support forcing automakers to increase the fuel efficiency of cars, trucks and SUVs to 35 miles per gallon, even if it meant a new car would cost up to $500 more; 82% support requiring electric utilities to produce at least 20% of their electricity from renewable energy sources, even if it cost the average household an extra $100 a year; 50% say they are personally worried—15 percent say a great deal—about global warming.
We heard about Leiserowitz's 2004 survey in MoJo's The Thirteenth Tipping Point. Well, it seems to be tipping, at last. Somebody set the alarm and wake up Washington.—Julia Whitty is Mother Jones' environmental correspondent. You can read from her new book, "The Fragile Edge," and other writings, here.

Amazingly, American cities did it last year. Did the economy collapse? Did the world end? Nope. The way forward just got a little easier to navigate. So reports the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The work was done by Clean Cities, a network of approximately 90 volunteer coalitions developing public/private partnerships to promote alternative and advanced vehicles, fuel blends, fuel economy, hybrid vehicles, and idle reduction.
According to the report: Seventy-one percent of the 2006 gasoline displacement came from the use of alternative fuels. Thirty percent of that was from the use of compressed natural gas, mostly in heavy-duty vehicles. E85, a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, accounted for 24 percent of gasoline displacement. Coalitions acquired nearly 44,000 hybrid electric vehicles in 2006, a 61 percent increase over 2005. HEV use displaced about 9 million gallons of gasoline. Idle reduction efforts displaced 8.4 million gallons, including 1.2 million gallons from truck stop electrification. Almost 2 million gallons were saved by reducing the number of miles traveled.
Okay, so it's not enough to save the world, and it has some built-in problems, say, ethanol. But it shows us how and where to start, and how surprisingly easy it really is when you make up the collective mind. Imagine how the problem might transform into opportunity if the big guns in DC ever get motivated.—Julia Whitty is Mother Jones' environmental correspondent.

Everybody here at Mother Jones is very pleased to announce that David Corn, long-time Washington Editor for The Nation, best-selling author, blogger, and TV commentator has agreed to take the reins of our greatly expanded Washington bureau.
You can read our old school, fully committeed, awesome press release after the jump. (Quick, somebody "leak" it to Romenesko.) But the gist is: David will head up a team of seven reporters and all this firepower in D.C. represents a fundamental change in the way we do business. Better, stronger, faster than before.
Look out D.C.! Oh, and we've also hired Debra Dickerson (author of The End of Blackness) as an on-line columnist and Nick Aster (who built Treehugger and a lot of the Gawker blogs) to head up our web team. Read more after the jump.

As a child I lived in North Street, Bradford Abbas. The name of the house then was Hilou. We were led to believe it was because our only toilet then was at the top of the very long garden. It later turned out that the cottage once belonged to two sisters called Hilary and Louisa. Since then the name has changed.
We lived on the right hand side going down the street. My dad thatched the house once and also a well in the back garden. I can remember enormous spiders coming out of the thatch and in the bedroom windows. Just before our house was one sideways to the road, called Heartsease Cottage as far as I can remember. This was the home of Evelyn Dainty who was a midwife. We kept goats and as children were often seen walking them around the village. I remember returning from school to find Miss Dainty being midwife to one of the goats who had gone into labour early. I can remember Mr Bean who lived further down on the left, the elderly couple next door but not their names. The colour of the Virginia creeper when the weather changed. The smell of goats' milk now always reminds me of walking home from school and down North Street knowing that goat custard as we called it was ready.
