Fashion the perfect setting for any occasion. Durable guaranteed against breakage, chipping, and staining. Storage stacks in less space than stoneware. Versatile refrigerator, microwave, oven, and dishwasher compatible. 1 year warranty covers normal household use, food preparation, serving or commercial/industrial use of Corelle products promise to replace any Corelle dinnerware that should crack, break, chip, or permanently stain within 1 year from date of purchase. 16 piece set features all white dinnerware. Set consists of 4 each: 10 1/4'' dinner plates, 6 3/4'' bread/butter plates, 18 oz. soup/cereal bowls, and 11 oz. Corelle/Stoneware mugs.

Since Corelle is famous for producing dinnerware and bakeware that cannot be broken or chipped, it's hard to resist holding a plate without wanting to drop it on the tile floor to see what happens. While Corelle doesn't recommend home tests, this casual 16-piece dinnerware set is still fairly indestructible and is a real asset for busy families. Livingware is easy to maintain as it's dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe and is never off-limits for small children to use and handle because of its light weight and durability. The set is comprised of four 10-1/4-inch dinner plates, four 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plates, four 18-ounce bowls, and four 11-ounce mugs. Plates and bowls are all made of Corelle's signature material, Vitrelle, which is created from three layers of glass that are compressed under extreme heat and laminated for strength. On the other hand, the mugs in this set are crafted of Corelle's stoneware, which is actually breakable and has a heavier feel than Vitrelle. For diners who recall Corelle patterns as being decorated with rather cutesy floral and fruit patterns, this simple, pure white pattern is sure to appeal to their modern preferences. Livingware plates and bowls sport a relaxed and rimless coupe shape and are all stackable for more efficient storage. Corelle warrants this dinnerware pattern against cracks, chips, breakage, and staining for a full year from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde What's in the Box 4 dinnerware place settings. Each place setting consist of: 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plate, 18-ounce bowl, 11-ounce mug. 16 pieces total.

Tangled Tangled
List Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $13.48

Disney's 50th full-length animated feature film, Tangled is a visually appealing, music-filled adventure full of romance and humor. The movie focuses on Rapunzel, a girl with long magical hair who's lived her entire life imprisoned in a tower by her greedy mother. Naturally optimistic and acquiescent, Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) rarely complains about her circumstances, but for her 18th birthday she longs to leave the tower to see the floating lights that appear every year on her birthday. Her mother (Donna Murphy) refuses her request, but when thief Flynn Ryder (Zachary Levi) climbs the tower to escape his pursuers, Rapunzel (once she's conked him on the head with a skillet multiple times) impulsively decides to trust the young man and convinces him to help her escape to see the floating lights. Thus begins a journey that alternates quite schizophrenically between optimistic excitement and guilty remorse that will ultimately change Rapunzel's and Flynn's lives forever. Tangled is a masterful blend of humor, adventure, passion, and drama combined with a great musical score and top-notch animation. The Real 3-D effects add to the experience but probably won't really be missed in other formats. Best of all, Disney presents a princess who matures from a meek and compliant girl into a spunky young woman who's not afraid to pursue her dreams and risk it all for love--now that's a Disney princess worth emulating. (Ages 6 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Disney presents a new twist on one of the most hilarious and hair-raising tales ever told. Your whole family will get tangled up in the fun, excitement and adventure of this magical motion picture. When the kingdom's most wanted -- and most charming -- bandit Flynn Rider hides in a mysterious tower, the last thing he expects to find is Rapunzel, a spirited teen with an unlikely superpower -- 70 feet of magical golden hair! Together, the unlikely duo set off on a fantastic journey filled with surprising heroes, laughter and suspense. Let your hair down and get ready to cheer for TANGLED.

The Lion King The Lion King
List Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $12.86

Vibrant and exciting Disney animated feature (the first based on an original story) about lion cub Simba, who is to follow in his father Mufasa's pawsteps as king of the jungle. But his wicked uncle Scar hatches a scheme to blame Simba for Mufasa's death so he can claim the throne himself. Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane supply voices; the Elton John/Tim Rice soundtrack includes "Circle of Life," "Hakuna Matata," and the Oscar-winning "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix 5.1, French Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix 5.1, Spanish Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Spanish; featurette.

Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh Versions of The Lion King on Blu-ray and DVD The Lion King (Two-Disc Diamond Edition Blu-ray / DVD Combo in Blu-ray Packaging) The Lion King (Two-Disc Diamond Edition Blu-ray / DVD Combo in DVD Packaging) The Lion King (Four-Disc Diamond Edition Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) The Lion King Trilogy (Eight-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) Release Date October 4, 2011 October 4, 2011 October 4, 2011 October 4, 2011 Format/Disc # Blu-ray, DVD DVD, Blu-ray Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy The Lion King includes: Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy The Lion King 1 ½ includes: DVD, Blu-ray The Lion King 2 includes: DVD, Blu-ray Blu-ray 3D No No Yes Yes (The Lion King Only) Blu-ray Yes Yes Yes Yes DVD Yes Yes Yes Yes Digital Copy No No Yes Yes (The Lion King Only) Bonus Features 4 Never-Before-Seen Deleted Scenes;Deleted Song;The Morning Report: Extended scene;Never-Before-Seen Bloopers;Disney Second Screen*;Pride of The Lion King; The Lion King: A Memoir- Don Hahn; Disney Sing Along Mode; Interactive Gallery; Audio Commentary; Disney’s Virtual Vault: Classic DVD Features Powered by BD-Live* *Not Available in all territories.

Mary Poppins (Two-Disc 45th Anniversary Special Edition) Mary Poppins (Two-Disc 45th Anniversary Special Edition)
List Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $17.76

Julie Andrews won an Oscar in her film debut as the "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" nanny who brings magic and joy to the Banks family in turn-of-the-century London. Fanciful adaptation of P.L. Travers' books co-stars Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson, Glynis Johns and Ed Wynn. The score by Richard and Robert Sherman includes "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Let's Go Fly a Kite," "Chim Chim Cher-ee." 139 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital stereo, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes; bonus short; deleted song; Broadway performance footage. Two-disc set.

There is only one word that comes close to accurately describing the enchanting Mary Poppins, and that term was coined by the movie itself: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even at 2 hours and 20 minutes, Disney's pioneering mixture of live action and animation (based on the books by P.L. Travers) still holds kids spellbound. Julie Andrews won an Oscar as the world's most magically idealized nanny ("practically perfect in every way," and complete with lighter-than-air umbrella), and Dick Van Dyke is her clownishly charming beau, Bert the chimney sweep. The songs are also terrific, ranging from bright and cheery ("A Spoonful of Sugar") to dark and cheery (the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee") to touchingly melancholy ("Feed the Birds"). Many consider Mary Poppins to be the crowning achievement of Walt Disney's career--and it was the only one of his features to be nominated for a best picture Academy Award until Beauty and the Beast in 1991. --Jim Emerson Stills from Mary Poppins (Click for larger image)

Children Photo

Too stiff, too age-inappropriate, not what casting directors want to see - these are some of the problems that occur when parents try to take kids' headshots on their own. While it's understandable that many of you want to save a few dollars when you are just starting out, your child's success depends on his/her actor shots so it's incredibly important to invest in great shots. You have to hire an experienced, professional photographer who knows how to deliver the kinds of photos casting directors, managers, and agents want to see.

Pick a Photographer Who Likes Children

Not only should the photographer you hire have experience shooting with children, he/she should also ENJOY shooting with children. There are several Los Angeles headshots photographers out there who aren't open to shooting children so make sure that when you speak with potential photographers you ask them how they feel about the matter. It's essential to find a professional who gets along well with children and who knows how to communicate with them. Actor shots must reveal a child's communication with the camera and only a photographer who likes kids and enjoys shooting with them will be able to bring out this natural expression.

Another important factor to consider when hiring someone to take kids' headshots is whether the photographer works quickly and efficiently. Speed and efficiency are essential when shooting with young children because after 10-20 minutes, children get antsy and are about ready to melt down. In this short amount of time, a photographer must be able to get several great shots. In addition, it's always helpful if a photographer is easygoing and has a great sense of humor in order to bring out your child's natural smile and persona.

Achieving the Right Look

Kids are supposed to look like kids in their photos, not mini-adults. Los Angeles headshots photographers with experience taking actor shots for children will tell you that the most important thing about children's shots is that they must look natural. Actor shots aren't pageant photos so don't put your child in a frilly dress or tux. Keep clothing casual, simple, and clean cut. Avoid shirts with characters or logos because they are distracting. Make up is generally not necessary and as for hair, a natural style will usually do. One of the keys to a great shot is that the child looks his/her age in the photo. In most of the shots, your child should be pictured with a warm, natural smile and in other shots with a more serious expression.

How to Prepare for a Shoot

When is your child the most alert and pleasant? Make sure to schedule your shoot within that time frame. Grumpy, sleepy children don't make for good kids' headshots. If your child usually naps in the afternoon, schedule the shoot earlier to avoid interrupting his typical schedule.

Make sure your child gets enough sleep the night before the shoot and feed him or her a nutritious breakfast on the day of the shoot. Avoid sugary foods because sugar tends to make kids hyper and distracted. A healthy, balanced breakfast of fruit and oatmeal or something of the like will help your child feel focused and energized for the shoot. Don't forget to bring bottled water and light snacks to the shoot in case your child gets hungry.

When speaking with different Los Angeles headshots photographers, ask to see examples of their work to review. Do the children in the photos look happy? Do they appear natural? Are the photos flattering? Is the child the focus in the photo with nothing else distracting from him/her? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you have potentially found a photographer who's capable of taking spectacular shots of your child.

Whether you're hoping your child will be the next Haley Joel Osment or you simply want to test the waters of the acting world, great kids' headshots are absolutely essential because they will get your foot in the door. Fabulous shots will help your child get more work and achieve success as an actor. This is one area in which you don't want to try to scrimp and save - hire a professional photographer and get professional results!

To get kids' headshots that will help your child achieve success as an actor, contact Adriana Sult. Adriana is one of the top Los Angeles headshots photographers who cater to children and knows how to create headshots that grab casting directors' attention.

Children in Documentary Photography

Many of the worlds strongest documentary photos depicts children. Since 1955 there have been 50 winners of the prestigious World Press Photo award, and 40% of the winning photographs depicts children. Again and again we see documentary photos of children in magazines, news stories and as leading photographs in fundraising campaigns for aid, development work and catastrophe relief efforts. Why is that? Well, not only are children cute, but because of their innocence and vulnerability, they evoke strong feelings of sympathy in the viewer. We simply can’t help empathize with the child we see in the photo, even if it was taken on the other side of the planet. With children too young to be seriously mixed up in politics and religion, the photos of children have the ability to cross all borders and reach out to our hearts. If they are produced rightly, that is.

What makes a strong documentary photo of a child? There is some concepts that just seem to work again and again. The mother holding her child. The child alone and crying. Children playing in the middle of poverty and destruction. Children staring from down to up, into the camera. With eyes wide open and a desperate look on their face. These photos motifs have almost become clichés, so it is up to us, the photographers, to use our artistic talents to avoid overdoing the cliché. As a general rule though, if you can capture a child displaying a strong emotion in your photo, you have a good chance to make a powerful photo.

There is another couple of tips to make strong documentary photos of children. Generally speaking, try to go close to the child and avoid interfering in the child’s natural behavior. These rules can of course be contradictory. If the child starts to make unnatural poses and gestures at the camera, you don’t get that authentic feeling. But if the child is doing something, playing, overwhelmed with feelings or otherwise occupied in his or her thoughts, you can usually sneak in a couple of shots without the child noticing anything. Keep your camera ready and have the exposure set before you put the camera in front of your eyes. And while you are in the process, try to ‘distract’ the child’s attention away from the camera by asking him or her some questions if necessary. Being close to the child and using a wide-angle lens usually makes for a more ‘open’ photo, one that asks more questions than it answers. It also gives a feeling of intimacy between the child and the person looking at the photo, thus evoking a stronger emotional response.

And don’t forget, since you are probably higher than the child, also try and bend down or even lie down on the ground, holding the camera in the same height as the children’s eyes. Eye contact can be a strong element and as with being ‘up close and personal’, it can give a more direct connection between the subject and the audience.

Sometimes it is alright to have the child pose a bit for the camera. Generally though, it can be difficult to give direct instructions to a child as to how to pose. “Try to look sad / happy” doesn’t work very well with children or, in fact, other people who aren’t actors or professional models. Instead, just use their natural curiosity for the camera and wait for the right moment. And if you really want to give instructions, ask them to do something in stead of asking them to look in a certain way. “How high can you jump?” “Kick the ball over there!” Active instructions makes for more natural looks. The key words to remember here is natural behavior, emotions, innocence and vulnerability. With that in mind, you can get great and powerful documentary photos of children.

And finally, it is also important to remember that journalism is never 100% objective. And neither is photojournalism and documentary photography. A photo only shows one angle of “the complete picture”. As documentary photographers, we have the power to choose which side of the story we want to show. But we also have a duty not to distort the facts. This is where a photo series can be a good idea. A photo series can not only capture the strong emotions, but can show the variety and diversity of a certain topic, be it children or any other theme.
