Wholesome Sweeteners – Organic and Natural Sugars, Syrups and Nectars
Celebrating 10 years of sweetening America's flavorings, Wholesome Sweeteners is giving away this awesome Gift Basket of their amazing products! Value over $100.
Wholesome Sweeteners is dedicated to bringing the finest Fair Trade CertifiedTM , organic and natural sugars, syrups and nectars to consumers. These delicious artisanal sweeteners are made at some of the smallest mills in the world. In addition to incomparable flavor, each of our products is made with exceptional care for the planet and people. Fair Trade means that our cooperative partners are paid directly for the sugar cane they grow and the honey they harvest, which helps support the farmers, their families and their communities. Whenever possible, we work with Fair Trade Certified farmers cooperatives to improve agricultural and social conditions on small family farms.
Wholesome Sweeteners holds fast to a "Fair Trade, Not Aid" philosophy. Wholesome pioneered fair trade certification for sweeteners and in so doing, fostered ever-widening agricultural and community development programs while providing stable economic resources for our cooperative partners in developing countries. We have created a viable economic incentive to protect communities, traditions and the environment. This means that farmers can compete against factory farms, keep their land (and buy more), send their kids to school, develop the quality of their crops and build community resources.
Fair Trade Certified(TM) is our guarantee that we pay the farmers a set premium for their crops. The money is wired directly from our accounts to the cooperatives' accounts in Costa Rica, Malawi, Mexico and Paraguay.
Since the last quarter of 2005, when Wholesome Fair Trade Certified the granulated sugar line, we have paid more than $2.5 million in social premiums to our cooperative partners (the social premium is paid above and beyond the market price paid for the sugar).
Wholesome Sweeteners is wholesome for the body and the conscience!

BY MARCY SHORTUSE - Only one thing makes Mila Wyman happier than big A-frames and the sun on her shoulders, and that's a day when the water is small and there are happy kids around her. While much of her time is spent in classrooms, the special education teacher/student/champion surfer is looking forward to heading west this summer for the opportunity of a lifetime.
BY MARCY SHORTUSE - One little spit of land, stretching four blocks in length. Gilchrist Avenue has caused a whole lot of controversy lately, and many are confused as to just what the fuss is all about.
The breakdown: There are two plans floating around, and one of them might be picked as the winner. How much parking, what type of parking, and landscaping are the issues being discussed.

Assembly of the 200th Falcon 7X has been completed at Dassault's Bordeaux-Merignac facility in southern France, and the aircraft enters final completion this week.
"We are especially proud of this milestone," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. "The 7X is clearly the best seller in the current Falcon family and remains one of the most sought after jets in its category."
Dassault Falcon has already delivered over 150 Falcon 7X's and another eighty are in various stage of production. The Falcon 7X fleet has accumulated over 130,000 flight hours since the first aircraft went into service in 2007, and is in operation in 32 different countries. Since the entry into service of the airplane five years ago, Dassault has developed dozens of new options that give customers a wide range of desirable features.
In particular; Dassault has focused on continuing to develop features that increase cabin comfort. Most recently, Dassault introduced a shower option for the 7X that has many of the features you might find at home. Anew cabin entertainment system equipped with business aviation's first interactive 3D moving map is also now standard for Falcon 7X customers.
In the cockpit, EASy II, the next version of Dassault's award winning EASy Flight Deck, will be available on the Falcon 7X at the end of 2012. EASy II will bring a number of cutting-edge options to the cockpit that enhance safety and situational awareness. These include synthetic vision, automatic descent mode, XM graphical Weather and ADS-B Out. The suite also includes two novel communications features, FANS 1A and CPDLC, which are compliant with Europe's new data link mandate.
An Enhanced Flight Vision System (EVS) option, certified in 2010, features a real time head up terrain display that increases pilot situational awareness, especially in low visibility approaches. The EVS allows the Falcon 7X to perform approaches below standard published minimums down to a 100-foot decision height.

Something or someone very lame, or so sweet that it makes you want to puke. For a so-called hard rock, metal band, their band name is pretty sappy. Band name example ---> Butterfly Girls
2. | sappy | ||
Expressing to states of human emotions. Blending happiness and sadness into one word. Yes, I am sappy but I hope you have fun on your trip. (happy this person is going on their trip, but sad because youll miss them)
3. | Sappy | ||
A song barely anyone knows about by Nirvana. The song is genious and is about doing things to make yourself happy for a temporary time and then realizing where you are and how its ruining your life. The main example of the song is doing drugs to calm you down for a short period of time and then you snap back into reality. This sounds ironic because Kurt does drugs but Kurt tried to get people to not do what he did like do drugs, smoke, and live a life of anger. Your really in a laundry room
4. | sappy | ||
Overly dramatic with way to much retarded emotion. Spenser: What does sappy mean?
Cameron: Overly dramatic with way too much retarded emotion. |

7. | sappy | ||
the condition of acting mushy and being under the influence of punch drunk love. This condition can only occur under the influence of a minimum of six beers. Jack gets so sappy when he kisses Kristine's forehead after six beers.

At A Glance: With the same clean lines as the LAX Series 2x5 Bookcase, this bookshelf by MASHstudios gives you all the style in an expanded footprint. Sound English Walnut construction looks great in your study, living room, or bedroom. Twenty-five square compartments with crisp, clean lines make browsing titles easy.
What's To Like:
What's Not to Like:
The Bottom Line: The LAX Series 2x5 Bookcase by MASHstudios, with its English Walnut construction and backless design, is a great-looking tall bookcase that brings order to any space needing a storage piece.
Dimensions: Overall: 72" w x 75" h x 15" dInternal shelf dimensions: 13.5" h x 13.5" w x 15.25" dShelves are 0.75" thick
Cleaning and CareFor simple cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Over time, you may want to refinish the surface with a refinishing agent to regain its original luster. For this we recommend Scott's Liquid Gold. Pour a small amount onto a rag and wipe the entire surface until you have an even finish. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the furniture as this can result in an uneven coat or discolor the wood.If your furniture develops stains like a watermark from a glass, use 220 grit sandpaper and lightly sand the wood until the stain dissapears. For best results, follow this with a treatment of Linseed Oil to refinish the surface to its original quality.Try to keep the piece out of direct sunlight if possible. It is wood's natural property to darken over time when exposed to sunlight, so if an object is left on your LAX furniture and left in the sun for a long time, the covered surface will appear lighter once the object is moved. This light spot will take time to blend back into the surrounding area and may never be fully as dark. Also, don't put hot stuff like pots and pans directly on the wood.

Obamas get to meet 'slumdog kids' - 2010-11-07
Posted November 8th, 2010 by heritageNew Delhi, Nov.7 : It was as close to the slum-dog moment as the Obamas could get in their India tour. The US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama met with 16 children of labourers at the Humayun's tomb in New Delhi today.
The children, aged between five and seven, do not go to a regular school because they are too poor. They receive informal education due to the voluntary efforts of Mr K.K. Mohammad, the Superintendent of the Archaeological Survey of India who has taken upon himself to get some basic literacy tools to these kids.

The annual program features a leading journalist or scholar interviewed by Warren Kozak, a prominent writer who is frequently published in The Wall Street Journal and elsewhere. The tidal wave of political revolution sweeping the Middle East has not brought democracy to the region, as was first hoped. Instead, the dramatic and bloody regime-changes have ushered in powerful Islamist parties that threaten the stability of the region, put peace agreements with Israel in jeopardy and could set in motion regional conflict. Is there any way to stop this slow-motion disaster? Professor Mead's deep and wide-ranging knowledge of the region, as well as his fresh ideas on geopolitics offer answers, insight and fascinating discussion on this key question of our time.
Walter Russell Mead is the James Clark Chase Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College and Editor-at-Large of The American Interest. From 1997 to 2010, Mr. Mead was a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, serving as the Henry A. Kissinger Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy from 2003 until his departure. Until 2011, he was also a Brady-Johnson Distinguished Fellow in Grand Strategy at Yale, where he had taught in the Yale International Security Studies Program since 2008.
Over the past quarter-of-a-century, Warren Kozak has worked as a writer for some of television's most prestigious network anchors. Mr. Kozak was an on-air reporter for National Public Radio. From 1985 - 86, he lived and worked as a radio journalist in Beijing, China. In 1993-94, he won the prestigious Benton Fellowship at the University of Chicago. His work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The New York Sun as well as other newspapers and magazines. His first book, The Rabbi Of 84th Street, was published by HarperCollins in July, 2004. In May, 2009, his biography of the controversial U.S. Air Force General, LeMay: The Life and Wars of General Curtis LeMay was published by Regnery.
This event is co-presented by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America.

Seems somehow appropriate given the replacement ref stuff earlier for the season to end with a controversial call.
Meh, these things happen. It's part of the game. Refs will miss calls and sometimes they're bigger than others. And sometimes the heels win at the big one. But it was a hell of a game.
The Ravens won. I have no sour grapes. Congrats to them and hopefully we'll get it next year. In a way I'm kind of glad just to soak in the tears of all the overconfident Niner fans who will now be whining about the game for the duration of the offseason.
Yeah, I don't care who won either. It looked like a blow-out there for a while, but I'm happy it was close. FWIW I picked SF in my fantasy leagues. Edit: well, shit, I picked Baltimore. Amazing prescience and abysmal memory.
To me, the story of the game would have been that John Harbaugh went a little goofy during the power outage and didn't have his team ready to resume the game.
Great game, lighting issues and all. The 49ers pulled an excellent 2nd half. I felt there were some missed calls, but whatever. You get a 3 point game out of the Super Bowl? It's a damn good game.
I was naturally upset at the end of the game because the ball would have at least hit Crabtree's hands if he hadn't been held. It was just a great play so that the hold wasn't seen. The bear hug some Ravens player was putting on a Niners player during the punt/safety was just flat egregious, not that it mattered. But I don't whine over calls and say that's what decided a game. Only one game has been decided on a blown call (The Fail Mary). I'll whine a little over the inept playcalling at the goal line at the end of the game and burning time outs in the third quarter, gosh won't need those later on. But let's be honest, the Ravens pretty much flat outplayed the Niners for most of the game. You can't fall behind 22 points, commit far more penalties, lose the turnover battle and give up a 108 yard kickoff return and expect to win a regular season game much less the Superbowl. That it even came down to the chance of the Niners winning was ridiculous. The Niners are still coming together as a team. Their QB of the future didn't start until midseason. They still have maturing to do, maturity you saw in the Ravens. I do love that they never quit and don't seem to choke either (it must be tough being a Texans or Falcons fan). I sat there watching them after the power outage and thought WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS TEAM BEEN ALL GAME, but that's a function of their immaturity. Fuck it, they made it to the Show and that beats pathetically celebrating their first non-losing season (8-8 BAY BEE) like I did a few years ago.
The profootballtalk.com headline is pretty hilarious: "RAVENS HOLD NINERS OUT OF END ZONE TO WIN SUPER BOWL"
Haha, wow. I dunno I just can't let myself get all wound up in butt-hurt over that non-call. Edit: well the actual article doesn't really harp on it.
Nah, it doesn't. It's just a hilarious headline. I'm not really wound up, I just don't like seeing the refs decide games like that. I don't like it when officials exercise discretion. Personal pet peeve!
Kinda bummed about the game but not heartbroken (I was rooting for the 49ers, as Ingmar is a fan and it was sort of a karmic repayment for my Giants knocking them out last season). I would've loved to have a Harbaugh cam up in the corner of the screen, though, there were some magnificent temper tantrums being thrown I would've liked to have seen in real time.
I can when I include the non-call on the TD return and the non-call on the safety (4 more seconds man!!!11) I think our first task of the offseason should be we trade Culliver for a bag of practice footballs and come out ahead.
I was just hoping for an entertaining game. As a Lions fan, I'm used to not having a vested interest in the Super Bowl. There probably was a penalty on the Crabtree play, maybe. I don't know. I'm not sure if he could have made the catch even if he wasn't interfered with. The ball landed 3 yards out of bounds. Regardless, I'm just glad Ray Lewis is going away.
Ugh. You have four downs from inside the ten, Frank Gore, and Colin Kaepernick. AND SO SPAKETH RAY LEWIS' GOD WHO IS CURIOUSLY IDLE, "LET THERE BE PASSING," AND THERE WAS MUCH PASSING.
Hey guys what's going on in this thread. I was out and about after the game and the town is nuts. If we'd lost after that power outage nonsense my city would be on fire right now.
Why didn't Cary Williams even get a reproachful wag of the finger for shoving an official during that first scrum?
From the comments: "ESPN should create a new show where Lewis just re-enacts each week's illegal or fined hits while using Rob Parker as a tackling dummy."
I hosted a very weird Super Bowl party. Half of the party were 49ers fans, half were Ravens fans. The 35 minute lights-out issue took it all to an insane level. The Ravens half were claiming it was deliberate sabotage by the '9ers, calling for blood, saying that if the '9ers won, it was staged. Us, the other half, decided to go out to the porch and drink some beers while we waited for the game to resume. We kept hearing the Ravens fans make phone calls, calling for blood, shotgunning beers, and yelling at nothing. It was crazy. The game started back up again, and they all quieted down. Until the '9ers scored repeatedly and almost clinched it, and then the wailing and screaming about sabotage started again (yeah, um, wait, who won again?), and me and the wife just had to say we were tired and kicked everyone out. An hour later, we get a phone call from one of the Ravens fans, drunk out of her mind, saying "WE LEFT OUR SNACK PLATTER DOWN THERE WE WANT IT BACK OH BY THE WAY YOUR TEAM LOST SO SUCK IT! RAVENS!" Me and the wife actually bought that snack platter (which they ate most of, fuckers, I really wanted to dig into the shrimp), and I doubt I'll ever talk to that fucking couple again.
The Ravens fans are a strange bunch. Nearly to a person of the ones I know insist that the Redskins are their rivals. Even though they only play each other once every four years. Well except for pre-season, which the Ravens organization and fans seem to treat as a game of such importance that it requires the dumping of gatorade when won. Redskins fans just kind of shrug and go back to hating the Cowboys.
That makes no sense. Now, if you mean we hate Redskins and their fans, that's different and mostly because they never shut up. The NFL keeps trying to pretend the two teams are rivals, but that's ridiculous - we're not even in the same conference. The only real rivalry the Ravens have is with the Steelers.
If you're asking me to explain I can only apologize as I don't understand it either. Although in reading my post I could see I was unclear and it could be construed that I meant the Redskins were the Ravens sole or main rival. I didn't mean that at all. Merely that of the Ravens fans I know(disclosure here I grew up in Annapolis, so I know lots)treat the pre-season game between the two as if it were much more than a match between a bunch of guys who are going to be cut on the following Tuesday.
I believe you, I'm just astounded is all. It's preseason, I'm just at a loss as to why anyone would care - especially since as you said, it's mostly a glorified try out. Then again, I probably could answer my own question by turning on sports radio for 10 minutes.
As far as anecdotal data goes, I grew up near Baltimore and currently live just outside of DC, and I have never once heard a Ravens fan express the sentiment that the Redskins were a sole rival, main rival, or any sort of rival at all. Obviously there's going to be ribbing and trash-talking when the teams do play due to their geographic proximity, but all the Ravens fans I know consider Pittsburgh to be the Ravens' main rival, and those are inevitably the regular season games that get the fan base most excited.
Yeah, no doubt that Ravens fans are a bunch of weirdos. They tend to be people that grew up and/or currently live in the Maryland area and enjoy the game of professional American football. Crazy, huh?
I like the argument that I just read on Grantland that the holding during the safety was intentional. Every player does it, and it is pretty blatant. The argument the author on Grantland made was that whether you hold or not, the refs award the safety anyway, and unless you hold so badly time runs out, the game doesn't end and the clock doesn't get rewound. I can't completely say that I understand the rules implications here, because I didn't understand the dropkick vs kickoff rules after the safety anyway last night. That said, the ref's didn't call the holding anyway, so the point is moot.

Over the last week or so I plowed through a season of Tecmo Super Bowl again. 3000yds with Barry Sanders became my goal.
That's with him missing three games from injury too! Went 14-2. Beat the 49ers 17-16 with a 4th quarter come back. Then despite losing Barry in the 1st quarter against the Giants I still beat them 20-9 to make the Super Bowl... Where I promptly lost to the Raiders again. 42-23 going away. Nothing gaming-wise has been catching my eye lately and with the NHL lockout I've been watching way too much football... Was the only thing that sounded interesting. |

Been bouncing back and forth between AC3, Medal of Honor:Warfighter, and NASCAR: Inside Line.
Really hate the bugs with AC3 but the game itself is stunning. Medal of Honor again great story line, ok controls, and the graphics and gameplay could use some tweaking. I was probably in the minority after liking the first one so much. NASCAR IL is pretty good, parts I don't like, but the game itself is much better than last year's dreadful product. Adding to the mix on Wednesday will be COD:BO and I am actually a bit more excited for it then in the past few times. Really don't recoginze COD from the way they use to be. I still have COD Big Red One for PS2.

Nowadays it's easy to find hundreds of blogs about paranormal and urban fantasy fiction, but one of the first -- and still one of the best -- is Patricia Altner's Patricia's Vampire Notes (PVN). Patricia was a librarian and she's also reviewer for professional literary publications, so she brings high standards to her sites. She also brings enthusiasm and her thoughtful in-depth reviews make her a bloggers' blogger: someone we respect and admire.
Patricia is the author of Vampire Readings: an Annotated Bibliography, a book that internationally renowned vampire scholar Dr. Derek Tatum calls "one of my key reference texts when researching vampire books." Her publisher describes her book as: "an annotated bibliography of 779 entries divided into five sections: Novels; Anthologies and Novellas; Young Adult; Additional Readings; Unread Undead. The largest section is Novels and here, besides a summary of the plot (without spoilers), the author indicates where each novel may fit into other genres... Works by such writers as Anne Rice, Tanya Huff, Christopher Pike, Tanith Lee, Barbara Hambly, Kim Newman, and, of course, Bram Stoker are discussed ..."
True to her librarian training, Patricia also maintains the Vampire Readings website, a comprehensive bibliography of both fiction and nonfiction books about vampires and a great place to go hunting for new authors and novels. And I've always recommended that fans of the genre subscribe to her excellent PVN email newsletter (info on her blog).
I'm so happy to have Patricia here because I really wanted to know how she keeps her love of the undead alive and where she thinks paranormal romance and urban fantasy are headed. Take notes because she mentions a lot of interesting writers and books!
MARTA: Hi, Patricia, and welcome to Vampire Wire! Would you please tell us the book that first sparked your passion for vampire and paranormal fiction?
PATRICIA: Hi Marta, thanks so much for inviting me here.
Actually my passion for paranormal fiction came first when I read a collection of stories by H. P. Lovecraft. I think I was about 10 years old at the time. His stories terrified me and kept me from sleeping at night and yet I found them so fascinating. I was hooked!
As for vampires, I first became enamored with them when watching "Dark Shadows" (guess I'm showing my age). Around the same time a friend loaned me a copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula. I could not put it down. That was one scary book! Still, I found the connection between Mina and the Count very intriguing, even romantic. It wasn't until much later I discovered I was not the only one who felt that way.
MARTA: Your book, Vampire Readings: An Annotated Bibliography, was published in 1998, a full 12 years ago. Did you have any trouble then convincing a publisher that there was and would be an audience for these stories? If you published a revised edition today, what changes, if any, would you make?
PATRICIA: I was very lucky. I sent a proposal to a small publisher, Scarecrow Press, which publishes mostly academic books including many bibliographies. The editor liked the idea of focusing on vampires and told me to give her the full manuscript within a year. I was surprised and elated and then wondered what I had gotten myself into.
For a revised edition I would first need a collaborator! Really! I have been compiling titles since turning in the manuscript for Vampire Readings. There is no end to the number of publications in this genre coming out virtually every day - including ebooks.
In fact an ebook would probably be the best format for a revised Vampire Readings. Then additions could be made more easily. Another possibility is a database with lots of search functions so that people could put together there own mini bibliography or reading list and print it out or send it to their mobile.
Sorry, I'm starting to fantasize here :)
MARTA: Now there are a zillion paranormal and urban fantasy blogs, but you were one of the first to use the internet to share your interest in these genres. Did you ever expect it to become so popular? What do you think drives the trend?
PATRICIA: I have to thank my husband who is a computer wizard and helped me get started with using the internet. At first I put together an irregular ezine called Undead Updates and after several iterations I ended up on Blogger with Patricia's Vampire Notes.
Thank you for calling it popular! I do have many faithful readers and I truly appreciate their support.
Most urban fantasy has a splendid blend of the paranormal and romance which deftly combines two popular genres. With the internet and platforms like Blogger and Wordpress it is very easy to start up a blog and these services are free. Now readers can easily express their opinions and spread the word about all the excellent reading material.
MARTA: You were a librarian, so you bring a lot of historical knowledge about the genre. How have you seen paranormal/UF change over the years and do you have any predictions about the future of these genres?
PATRICIA: Most of my professional library experience has been as a reference librarian in technical libraries. A big part of my job included research and compiling subject bibliographies. So my take on the genre comes from being a reader with a librarian's eye - Publisher's Weekly, Library Journal, and Locus are favorite reading materials.
In 1995 when I began compiling notes for Vampire Readings there were several series and stand alone books that were clearly just about vampires. Many fell into the horror category but there was also a definite growth within the romance genre. Often the vampire was a brooding hero who loathed his undead status and more than anything wanted to be human.
There was the sense that by becoming a vampire he had been touched by evil and probably damned for eternity, even if he really was a good guy. That attitude is not so prevalent anymore.
I first became aware of what is now termed urban fantasy with first Tanya Huff's Blood Books series and then Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter books. Here vampires share the stage with other paranormals- werewolves and other were animals, fairies, ghosts, ogres, zombies, succubi and incubi, witches, angels- fallen or otherwise. I'll stop here but you get the idea. Writers have a huge menu to choose from, and I like the idea of worlds where so many varieties of the paranormal mix it up.
Now it seems zombies as heroes or heroines have arrived. I admit I have not read any of these books. First I have to get over my instant image of a zombie as an animated rotting corpse. When zombies need to be slain, I can deal with that although it's usually rather messy.
Biblical references to creation, the apocalypse, angels and demons are also showing up more and more. And well known personages literary and historical are entering the paranormal universe - Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Queen Victoria, Demon Hunter, Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange, etc.
As for the future. I think I'll take a pass. I admit to being a really bad prognosticator.
MARTA: Can you share any favorite new discoveries?
PATRICIA: Here are four recent entries that come to mind.
-The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Jinks This is a classified as a YA book but I didn't realize it until I had finished, having thoroughly enjoyed it.
Here's the premise: Being a vampire definitely has it's drawback. A small group of them meet weekly at a Catholic Church mostly to whine about aches, and pains, and boredom. Of course all of that is about to change when the newbie detectives have to solve a murder.
-Love Fang by Susan Blexrud (April 2009)
The first is a series of short stories about this sweet young couple - he's a vampire and she's a dentist - who find true, extremely passionate love.
-Casting Spells and Laced with Magic by Barbara Bretton (Berkley Trade, August 4, 2009)
Heroine Chloe Hobbs is a sorceress and owner of a popular knit shop. The setting is the charming town of Sugar Maple, Vermont where all the inhabitants appear human, but of course they're not.
-Succubus series by Richelle Mead
Not new to many, but new to me. So far I've read Succubus Blues, and Succubus on Top. I love the world and the characters that Mead has created.
MARTA: Can you tell me a few undiscovered gems that you wish more people would read?
PATRICIA: Sure! There's a Casa Dracula series I would like to see on the NYT bestseller list!
These are gems and I would definitely like to bring to readers' attention.
- Fear Me by Stephen Laws
- Fevre Dream by George R. R. Martin
- Sunshine by Robin McKinley
- Gideon Redoak by Anne Fraser
- The Society of S by Susan Hubbard
- Season of the Witch by Natasha Mostert
- The Vampire Tapestry by Suzy McKee Charnas
- Vamped: A Novel by David Sosnowski
- Those of My Blood by Jacqueline Lichtenberg
MARTA: What's your guilty pleasure – a book that you constantly go back to?
PATRICIA: Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman. It's a historical novel set in the time of the infamous King John. But the binding thread throughout is the love story of Joanna (John's illegitimate daughter) and Prince Llewelyn of Wales.
I'll mention one more. The Lions of al Rasson by Guy Gavriel Kay. This is an alternate history/fantasy set during the time of the reconquista of Spain.
MARTA: I love your book reviews because you take them seriously, aware of the author's effort and intentions. What advice would you give a new reviewer?
PATRICIA: Thanks, Marta. When I review a book I put a lot of work into it even if that doesn't show in the final product :) I want readers to know not only the plot but also about the characters and how they interact. I truly admire authors and want to show readers what these wordsmiths have accomplished. If I get that across I'm happy.
I would advise new reviewers that while reading a book think about what the author is trying to accomplish, and how is s/he doing it. Ask yourself how this book fits with other books by the author and with other book in the same genre. Take notes even if it only means writing down a few words about an important event or your own reaction to something in particular. Read the type of books you enjoy.
Eventually everyone comes up with their own way of doing things.
MARTA: What's the most rewarding part about being a reviewer, author, and blogger?
PATRICIA: I started blogging as a way to let readers know about what was being published in the vampire/paranormal fiction world. I think it was my librarian soul wanting to get out the word about all the neat books to choose from.
Over the years I've reviewed for Library Journal, Fantasy Review, some smaller publications (no payment involved). By writing for my own blog I felt free to make up my own editorial rules, which may not always be for the best, but I was more comfortable.
As a blogger/reviewer I get to introduce readers to books and writers I believe they will enjoy - that's the reason for PVN. Having an author do a guest blog or an interview is another way to get the word out. All of this brings me a lot of satisfaction!
For now my life as an author is writing about the paranormal fiction world and that's fine with me.
MARTA: Where can readers find out more about you and your sites?
- My blog site: Patricia's Vampire Notes
- Vampire Readings: The Online Bibliography ( a bit out of date, but still with useful information)
- email: email@example.com
MARTA: Okay, tell us, what's your idea of reading heaven? Where do you best like to read, what do you want to be reading, what's the setting, and do you have a cup of tea, coffee, or a frozen daiquiri in hand?
PATRICIA: Reading Heaven: A comfy chaise lounge and umbrella on a white sandy beach that stretches for miles in each direction. Blue ocean with soft waves. A steady supply of pina coladas (with extra maraschino cherries). I would be reading Succubus on Top by Richelle Mead.
Reading Reality: Sitting in an armchair in my office. On a side table - coffee, a notebook, post-it flags, maybe a cookie. I would be reading whatever is next in my to be reviewed pile.
MARTA: Thanks, Patricia!
Patricia: Marta, it has been a pleasure!
CONTEST INFO: If you'd like to win a copy of Patricia's Vampire Readings, just leave a comment for Patricia and/or tell us where you go for reviews. Do you get a newsletter, check out Amazon, have a favorite review blog, or just like to go to the bookstore and choose for yourself? (I'm the "wander around a bookstore for an hour" type.)

- hybrid – it can be a video player / example in the preview
- extensive admin panel – admin panel with lots of options to make the gallery as customizable as possible, yet easy to use. Comes with a drag & drop html5 uploader too!

What clients say
nice work as always
OH MAN IT RUNS LIKE A DREAM THIS IS THE BESt AND EASIEST VIDEO PLAYER I EVER USED ON WP
Showcase – where clients used this gallery
Extensive Admin Panel with loads of options
When i add videos one by one in normal mode what is maximum quantity of videos?
70 is the normal limit per gallery ( remember that you can have unlimited galleries though ) . Normally, you won't reach the limit for a single gallery, but if really needed this (php) limit can be overcome by increasing max_input_vars in the php.ini or htaccess . So it can have unlimited videos.Can i set plugin for autostart full screen when i enter the site?
Yes, just set the Video Gallery Fullscreen on the homepageHi this plugin is great. But I m getting some jquery conflicts with other plugins. How can I disable your Jquery call and use the one that my theme has?
he other plugins are the fault here because the gallery uses the wordpress one and enqueues it in the correct form ( if it's already loaded by wp_enqueue_script, it will not load again. )Where can I define a playlist to show without having to import it every time again and again?
Choose YouTube Playlist – hereCurrently I host my videos at 2 external video hosting sources, namely smugmug and screencast, may I know is it possible to get my videos hosted at these 2 places to work with your plug-in.
The only supported external video delivery places are youtube, vimeo because they have an API. If you want to embed those videos you need to host them on a site of yours.I have different galleries and I am changing the IDs on the pages however the same gallery keeps coming up.
The correct form of the shortcode with a gallery id is [videogallery id="theid"] . As long as the id is the same as in the gallery you are creating in the admin, there should be no problem to have different galleries.
There might be a problem however with WordPress recognizing the id, this might be because you have entered something like [videogallery id="theid"] insted of [videogallery id="theid"] - notice the difference between " and "
Also try without the apostrophes – [videogallery id=theid]
You can also try [videogallery id=theid] – no quotation marks
Hello, I downloaded your Video Gallery plugin and although it says I should be able to use multiple players with multiple playlists on different pages using the shortcode, the same player shows up on every page. Can you please help me?
You just need to create multiple instances via the Settings > DZS Video Gallery admin.
You create for instance to separate galleries – gal1 and gal2. You then add them where you want in your post / page via the [videogallery id="gal1"] and [videogallery id="gal2"] shortcodes.
How many videos can it hold? is there a limit to how many videos I can have on the plater
The number of videos supported by the gallery is virtually unlimited. Just don't put something like tens of thousands (10,000) of videos or it might work a little slow
Please can you tell me, can I put different instances of this player on different pages of my site, so not the same player repeated on other pages
You can set up as many instances of the player / gallery as you want – and set it up on each page through [videogallery id="theid"] shortcode – works in template pages as well via php code or even as an widget
Hi, regarding your worpress video player plugin, does it support youtube playlists or is it only individual videos
It supports youtube playlists feed, youtube user feed, and individual videos and Vimeo user channel feed
What's the PHP code to set this gallery outside of posts/pages ( in template files for example )
echo do_shortcode('[videogallery id="theid"]');
But the video title and descriptions have to be in English. Any non-English character won't show in the playlist. Could you help me with this issue? Thanks.
I made a video here on how to embed non english characters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TJ7vU8fQ-E
When I try to upload the video files to WordPress' Media feature, it's telling me the files are too large. Can't exceed 8MB. Is there a way around this, so I can get the videos into DZS
Well.. that is the limit your host providers has set for web file uploads. Usually, that is 8MB like in this case and sometimes it's 32MB ( like on HostGator ). If you have files larger then this limit, you need to copy them on your host via FTP ( preferably on the same domain ) and input the link to it in the field left to the Upload button.
I am searching for a Video Player WordPress Plugin that supports all the browsers, mobiles and tablets. Also, 1. Option of video quality like youtube (auto, 240p,360p,480p,720p,1080p) 2. The video shortcode/embed code will response to screen size automatically? 3.Can you make it work not only as a gallery but and as a single player?
1. You can use the custom player for youtube which allows only SD quality and HD or use the default player for youtube 2. If you enable Responsive option, yes. 3. Definately, if it's one item, there is no need for a gallery and a player will show up instead.
Can it display multiple playlist from different users ? What will happened after I installed your plugin as existing theme also have gallery ? From backend, you can see all the videos retrieve from playlists ? Can I arrange the videos from playlists into category n pages ?
Yes, but in different galleries.
Probably nothing, but in the extremely unlikely case the theme gallery has the same shortcode [videogallery] it will be overwritten.
No, the playlist ordering is done by YouTube. You just have to set the id of the playlist.
I get this error Warning: file_get_contents(http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/ http://www.youtube.com/user/PrimeKreative/uploads?v=2&alt=jsonc) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request in /home2/primekre/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/dzs-videogallery/videogallery.php on line 186
This error will appear if you are using playlist / user channel feed / vimeo user channel feed and have allow_furl_open disabled on your host, because the server can't get the API data from YouTube vimeo.. There is no valid reason to have that disabled.You'll need to enabled allow_furl_open on your server or ask your host to do it …
More info: http://www.tectite.com/vbforums/showthread.php?842-Allow-Url-Fopen
Is there and Video SEO built into the plugin for YouTube videos?
Yes, the plugin automatically imports titles in descriptions in headings and divs so that it's visible to search engines.Designer Center does not work for me.
Make sure you have selected Use Custom Design in the DZS Video Gallery in the Video Gallery you are editing.Video Gallery will not work. I am using YouTube Playlist feed.
If your playlist id is in this form PL7FAF7B7187A183D7 it should actually be like this -> 7FAF7B7187A183D7 so without the PL characters at start.I have entered all the videos addresses from Vimeo via the admin panel however, I'm unable to see the thumbnails on the front end. Please advise.
Hello 1. enable allow_url_fopen in PHP -> http://php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php , http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2010/04/07/quick-fix-for-url-file-access-is-disabled-issues/
2. input the thumbs manually in the Thumb field, I even made a tool for that -> http://digitalzoomstudio.net/vimeo-thumbnail-generator/
Does this work with uploaded .flv, .wmv, .avi and mpg4 files?
- It works with YouTube, Vimeo videos ( you just need to enter the video id in the admin )
- It works with .flv files ( h.264 .mp4 / .m4v / .mov are recommended though because iPhone can read only that )
- It works with .mp3 files
- It works with images
Will it work with Videos hosted on Amazon s3?

They first fought against the U.S. government, and later with it - in the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and now, in the Iraq war, among other conflicts. They are American Indian soldiers, and to photojournalist Steven Clevenger, they are America's first warriors.
Clevenger, who has covered nine wars as a journalist, honors these men and women with his book, "America's First Warriors: Native Americans and Iraq" (Museum of New Mexico Press). He told the audience that it took him three years to finish the project, as he financed the book himself.
Clevenger discussed his latest book at the Osage Tribal Museum April 17 and gave a presentation on many of the photos that are covered in his book. When asked about showcasing the women in the Armed Forces in a follow-up book, Clevenger mentioned that it was a great idea.
Steven Clevenger began his photography career during the Cambodian war in 1971 at the age of 22. From there, he moved into newspaper photojournalism and television news and continued to cover war for the next 38 years in such places as Northern Ireland, Central America, Iraq and most recently Afghanistan in 2009. Clevenger had long been interested in the psychology of warfare. He questioned why men and women volunteer to put themselves in danger. This question can be expanded to ask why do a people who have been abused by a government, specifically the Native American, defend the very bureaucracy that oppressed them. Knowing little about the warrior culture of the Native American, Clevenger set out to explore the culture and find answers to his question. His quest for information led to the publishing of "America's First Warriors" in 2010.
Even though they were not granted citizenship until 1924, Native Americans have served in all of America's wars. During World War I, 12,000 served and in World War II, 44,000 (out of a total population of 350,000).
In 2006, Clevenger, Osage, began a three-year project following Native American soldiers into war in Iraq and back home again. He wanted to document the warrior tradition, the war experience, and to reveal the cultural acceptance sometimes withheld from American soldiers.
In 2006, he attended a yellow-ribbon welcoming-home ceremony in Rio Rancho, N.M., for the New Mexico National Guard men and women. Clevenger was embedded with the unit and other Native American military in Iraq in 2007 and, again, in 2009. While there, he shot candid moments of the soldiers at war and conducted interviews in a combat zone. He also captured stirring moments of grief, apprehension, and the day-to-day life of the war-weary Iraqi people. The resulting images and interviews with Pueblo, Apache, Navajo, Osage, and other Native men and women comprise "America's First Warriors."
"In addition to the photographs taken in Iraq, images of traditional coming home ceremonies such as the War Mothers' Dance, Welcoming Home/Cleansing Ceremony, and other rituals are documented," Clevenger said. "In attendance were family members and elders including veterans of previous wars, including famed Navajo code talkers of World War II. This book is an eloquent tribute to the Native American warriors, men and women, who have served in all of America's wars."
After the discussion, he autographed copies of the book, and light refreshments were served. His book sold out in moments.
Also, two new exhibits at the museum were highlighted, as the new World War I exhibit is displayed in the center room, and a Marine Corps League exhibit displaying four War Bonnets from the Vietnam, Afghanistan, WWII and Iraq era are displayed in the east room's showcase.
