I saw my first land dragon today, a large female. She was beautiful, sunning herself on a large stone outcropping. I cannot describe the way the sun drenched her blue scales, and the varigated pale blue banding and stripes that ran down her body. My guide told me that the pale markings indicated that she was an older female, one well established. He said he came close to knowing her, and it seemed that she would allow him to come through her territory. I inquired what he meant, and he mumbled something about feeding her to keep he placated. I looked up and she was gone from her stone, i didnt even hear her move, and she was so large. Even my guide, with his security, seemed to be left uneased.
Anjet of Cennwaith
Full Description
The Tevesage Land Dragon is a fearsome beast. From the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, it is close to 20 to 30 feet long. The females of the species tend to be on the larger side and are generally stronger. While smaller the males are not to be taken lightly as they are often considerably faster. Not generally considered a true dragon species, the Tevesagian wyrm lacks wings even in the vestigial state. Rather it his well developed hind and forelimbs, is capable of walking on two legs or four, and are fearsomely fast runners. Even the fastest horse of the plains cannot keep up with a run of the mill land dragon.
The torso is on the long side, and lean. The skeletal structure is more towards the elegant and light side, the head demonstrates very few of the cranial ridges, frills, horns, spikes, and other decorations often seen on other draconic species. There are a pair of bulbs that protrude from the anterior of the skull and look rather like a pair of bread loaves attached to the side of the head. it is not common knowledge, but these bulbs are actually sensory organs and are one of the dragon's few weak points. They sense for lack of a better term, life signs. A suitably hard strike against one of these bony protrusions can temporarily blind, confuse, or completely enrage a land dragon.
The tail is short as dragons go, but it is stiff and rigid, enough that the end can be used as a stabbing weapon if the creature is so inclined. The claws are also noticably developed, each having a thick base and pearly exterior. Despite it's appearance, these claws are more than capable of splitting rock and peeling steel without suffering more than a few scratches themselves.
We found the ruins I was looking for, Yuzh-Gesh, a breeding center. As expected most of the place was in crumbling disrepair. The stalls and stables were not even piles of rubble anymore. It was okay, I didn't expect them to be. My guide is fidgety, impatient. Every few minutes he asks if I have found what I came after, and as I sift through the wreckage and debris that was the breeding center's administrative office I am forced to stall him and bribe him with offers of more and more gold. His fear is getting terribly expensive. I had better find the breeder's lineage notes and breed book.
Generations ago the once mightly lords of Tevesage were highly proficient breeders and masters of husbandry. Their skill and their arrogance lead them to breed the land dragons. Small enough to be deemed controllable, and divested of their wings, the draconids were originally intended to be very fast mounts for Tevesagian knights and couriers. Given the aggressive nature of the land dragon, it was a natural extension to breed them for combat. The first were bred as highly successful but dangerous warmounts. Soon, it was a vogue thing to breed them for pit and cage blood sports.
While the fortunes of Tevesage fell, it became a boon to the land dragons. Some breeders, unable to care for their pets started turning them loose in the wild to fend for themselves. Many of the overspecialized breeds died off from inherent genetic flaws, weaknesses, and a variety of other things. Those that survived in the wild almost intantly became apex predators, feeding on even other predators. This quickly led to the land dragon being the only predator on the Tevesage plains, and a major hazard for the crumbling Tevesage kingdom. Knights were vanishing, livestock herds were dwindling, something out in the night was eating the people out of the kingdom.
Tevesage ended as a power and was reduced to an unoccupied territory. A mass exodus of people saw the regions around Tevesage flooded with refugees as the government fell to civil war, then anarchy, then crumbling into islands trying to survive. This was all occuring during a massive boom in the land dragon population. Eventually the dragon numbers thinned as the easily available food supply fell away, no more herds of oxen, horses, pigs, and other animals for the eating. The region hasnt been resettled, mostly out of fear of the dragons, but also a fear of the ghosts of old Tevesage, and the other monsters that were bred in their breeding pits and stations.
Fighting Land dragons is a highly hazardous thing for even prepared experts. The best method is to use baits to lead them elsewhere and then escape by aerial methods. Very few can actually manage this, so a break down of the creatures preferred attacks could be valuable.
The Dragon-Rush
Perhaps the correctly most feared of the land dragon's methods of attack is the so called dragon rush. This attack occurs when the land dragon accelerates to a full charge and leaps onto a foe with claws extended and fangs bared to bite. The impact is great enough to break even the sturdy bones of oxen, in fact this attack is most often seen when land dragons fight one another, and it is usually a decisive move, crippling or outright killing the rival land dragon.
Fang Rend
A uniquely vicious attack, the fang rend is a rotational bite. Rather than a bone crushing bite or feeding bite, the rotational bite is a highly painful and crippling mouth attack. Generally delivered to a vital area such as the abdomen or throat area, the victim is literally torn open by the bite. This brutal attack is most often seen when a land dragon is hunting larger prey. Smaller prey is simply chomped upon a few times and swallowed.
While certainly large, some land dragons have demonstrated an affinity for burrowing into the ground and like a trap door spider, waiting for prey to come close. These ambush hunters spring from their concealed dens with volcanic force, a storm of claws and snapping jaws.
Fiery Breath
Few land dragons demonstrate the ancestral ability to breath flame as traditional dragons once did. These are easily noticed for their sleeker build, soot stained jaws, and the scent of burning brimstone near their lairs. The fire-breathers are rare, as they tend to be less violent and aggressive than the run of the mill land dragon. This unfortunately wont keep one from roasting a team of oxen, a herd of livestock, or a carriage of explorers to a crisp and eating them one by one.
I have found the books I came for, and a boon as well. A single egg, as large as a Couerlimanti tureen and speckled with blue spots. My guide calls it a land dragon egg, and it is warm. I will keep it, and with the old breeders notes, I will raise it as my own. This expedition has been expensive. Three men fell, two to accidents of misfortune, the third to the claws of a stalking land dragon. Six horses, two wagons, thirteen oxen were also lost, half to the unforgiving Tevesage terrain, the other half to the dragons. It is no wonder to me now why the plains, wide and spacious as they are, are empty of villages of cities.
Additional Information
Land dragons are egg-layers, usually two or three eggs per clutch. The female will care for the offspring until they are old enough to fend for themselves, usually three to four years. After hatching they are proficient hunters, but remain small in size and are easy prey for larger land dragons who are not above eating their own kind. A dragon of this species will live around 250 years before becoming old and weak. Most of these will bury themselves in the ground instinctively knowing when their time is come.
A land dragon, hatched from an egg, can be a boon companion. They are intelligent, are capable of learning tricks and some basic skills, and respond favorably to humans. This affinity to domestication is short lived, no more than three days after hatching, the willingness to accept a master evaporates and the land dragon becomes feral. They make for excellent mounts, combative allies, trackers, and companions. On the downside, hunting in deeply ingrained into them, so feeding them is more a matter of letting them loose somewhere rather than feeding them prepared food.
Percieved as often cruel, land dragons are intelligent and playful. This translates to cruelty as if their food doesn't scream and run, it isn't any fun for them.

R.B. Bernstein
Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Law
R. B. Bernstein's work as a constitutional historian has made historical scholarship accessible to a wider audience through his lauded publications and dedication to teaching.
Professor Bernstein graduated from Amherst College in 1977 with a B.A. magna cum laude in American Studies and received his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1980. After three years of practicing law, he left the legal profession to pursue a Ph.D. in history at New York University. Since 1983 he has been a member of the New York University Law School's Legal History Colloquium.
Professor Bernstein was a visiting part-time lecturer in history at Rutgers University–Newark in 1998; he joined New York Law School as an assistant adjunct professor in 1991, teaching American Legal History and Law & Literature. From 1997 to 1998 he was the Daniel M. Lyons Visiting Professor of History at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. In 2007 he was named a distinguished adjunct professor at New York Law School.
From 1984 to 1987 Professor Bernstein was Research Curator for the Constitution Bicentennial Project of The New York Public Library. Among the products of this project was his first book, Are We to Be a Nation? The Making of the Constitution (Harvard University Press, 1987). From 1987 to 1990 he was the staff historian of the New York City Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, and from 1989 to 1990 he was Research Director of the New York State Commission on the Bicentennial of the Constitution.
Professor Bernstein continued to distinguish himself as an author with Amending America: If We Love the Constitution So Much, Why Do We Keep Trying to Change It? (Times Books/Random House, 1993; paperback, University Press of Kansas, 1995), a history of the constitutional amending process spanning the period from the origins of the Constitution in 1787-1789 through the early 1990s.
He also published the biography Thomas Jefferson (Oxford University Press, 2003) and Bolling v. Bolling: Law and the Legal Profession in Pre-Revolutionary America (Huntington Library Press, 1997), co-edited with Barbara Wilcie Kern and Bernard Schwartz. Gordon S. Wood's review in The New York Times called the biography "the best short biography of Jefferson ever written." A young-adult version, Thomas Jefferson and the Revolution of Ideas, was published in 2004 in the Oxford Portraits series.
Other publications include "Charting the Bicentennial," a review essay that appeared in the December 1987 Columbia Law Review; "The Sleeper Wakes: The History and Legacy of the Twenty-Seventh Amendment," a study that appeared in the December 1992 issue of the Fordham Law Review; and the historiographical introduction to Law as Culture and Culture as Law: Essays in Honor of John Phillip Reid, a volume published by Madison House in 2000 honoring eminent legal historian John Phillip Reid, the Russell Niles Professor Emeritus of Law at New York University School of Law.
From 1997 to 2004 Professor Bernstein was co-editor of book reviews for H-LAW, the list-serv co-sponsored by H-NET (Humanities and Social Sciences Network On-Line) and the American Society for Legal History; he is also a member of H-LAW's Editorial Board. For three years he served on the Editorial Board of Law and Social Inquiry, the journal of the American Bar Foundation. In November 2002 he became Director of Online Operations at Heights Books, Inc., a leading used-bookstore in Brooklyn, New York. In 2004 he was elected to the Board of Directors of the American Society for Legal History, stepping down with the end of his term in 2007.

Your own homegrown vegetables taste much better and are fresher than any that you buy in the shops. Fruiting vegetables, like beans, tomatoes, capsicum and sweet corn, have the best flavour if they're eaten as quickly as possible after harvest; leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, lose water and rapidly become limp, and all vegetables are more nutritious if they are consumed when as fresh as possible.
Useful Articles for gardeners of all abilities.
Projects to get you motivated and inspired for a weekend of gardening.
Specific advice to grow and maintain a range of home garden plants.
An extensive range of practical gardening videos and product demonstrations.
Growing your own can save a considerable amount on food costs and will also give you a wider choice of vegetables. Unusual vegetables are often difficult to buy in shops, but are easily grown in the home garden. Lots of vegetables are ornamental so can be grown for their good looks as well as their produce.
Vegetables can be loosely grouped according to their growing season.
Cool Season Vegetables: Grow best when temperatures are between 10-20 degrees C or even lower. They include: broad beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, onions, peas, spinach and turnips.
Intermediate Season Vegetables: These are best between temperatures of 15-25 degrees. Include: beetroot, carrot, parsnip, celery, leek, lettuce, radish, silver beet.
Warm Season vegetables: Are grown best when temperatures are above 20 degrees C. Include: Beans, capsicum, eggplant, potato, sweet corn, sweet potato, tomato and cucurbits (including cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkins etc.)
Position – Vegetables must have sun! Try to select a growing area that is sunny for most of the day, is sheltered, and is close to a source of water.
Soil – Soil is often the easiest thing to adjust to your growing needs. In fact, strictly speaking, soil is not absolutely necessary. Vegetables can be grown in potting mix or in a hydroponic set up, but the most common medium is still good garden soil. Soil must have good drainage and a good structure. Regular incorporation of old organic matter (such as compost) will keep the soil functioning well.
Nutrients – Vegetables, more than most other plants, need to be supplied with adequate nutrients.
Mineral fertilisers: are reliable sources of good quantities of nutrients. Mixes with a balanced NPK ratio are suited to a wide range of crops. Balanced, all-purpose fertilisers, such as Thrive All Purpose, can be mixed into the soil before planting. Soluble fertilisers, such as Thrive, can be applied in liquid form to plants during their early stages of growth. Additional dressings of Sulphate of Potash and Superphosphate may be necessary, especially for fruiting and root crops.
Organic Fertilisers: are derived from once-living material. They're excellent for improving soil, but their nutrient levels can be very variable. In recent years, however, increased interest in these products has led to many improvements, with fertilisers such as Dynamic Lifter organic pellets now having guaranteed nutrient levels.
pH is the level of acidity or alkalinity in the soil. Most vegetables produce best results if grown at a soil pH level of 6.0 to 7.0. In some areas this may mean adding lime before planting. Checking the pH level of the soil is recommended.
Mulching over plants' root systems, preferably with an organic mulch, will retain moisture, suppress weeds, reduce temperature fluctuations, and prevent soil crusting.
Water thoroughly so that the entire root system of the plant is moistened. Thorough waterings are more effective than light sprinklings. Don't allow plants to reach wilting point but, conversely, don't flood them as this washes away nutrients and may cause drainage problems.
It's important to avoid growing successive crops of the same type of vegetable in the same spot in the garden. This practice, which is called crop rotation, helps prevent build up of soil diseases. Seasonal crop changes often lead to natural crop rotation.

Conveniently, when used in a source-lazy-lazy-eager pipeline, the laziness is mostly invisible, as the computation is "sandwiched" with a source at one end (often a collection) and an operation that produces the desired result (or side-effect) at the other end. This turns out to yield good usability and performance in an API with a relatively small surface area.
Methods like
anyMatch(Predicate) or
findFirst(), while eager, can
use short-circuiting to stop processing once they can determine the
final result. Given a pipeline like:
Optional<Shape> firstBlue = shapes.stream() .filter(s -> s.getColor() == BLUE) .findFirst();
Because the filter step is lazy, the
findFirst implementation will
only draw from upstream until it gets an element, which means we need
only apply the predicate to input elements until we find one for which
the predicate is true, rather than all of them. The
method returns an
Optional, since there might not be any elements
matching the desired criteria.
Optional provides a
means to describe a value that might or might not be present.
Note that the user didn't have to ask for laziness, or even think about it very much; the right thing happened, with the library arranging for as little computation as it could.
Stream pipelines can execute either in serial or parallel; this choice
is a property of the stream. Unless you explicitly ask for a parallel
stream, JDK implementations always return sequential streams (a
sequential stream may be converted into a parallel one with the
parallel() method.)
While parallelism is always explicit, it need not be intrusive. Our
sum-of-weights example can be executed in parallel simply by invoking
parallelStream() method on the source collection instead of
int sum = shapes.parallelStream() .filter(s -> s.getColor() == BLUE) .mapToInt(s -> s.getWeight()) .sum();
The result is that the serial and parallel expressions of the same computation look similar, but parallel executions are still clearly identified as parallel (without the parallel machinery overwhelming the code).
Because the stream source might be a mutable collection, there is the
possibility for interference if the source is modified while it is
being traversed. The stream operations are intended to be used while
the underlying source is held constant for the duration of the
operation. This condition is generally easy to maintain; if the
collection is confined to the current thread, simply ensure that the
lambda expressions passed to stream operations do not mutate the
stream source. (This condition is not substantially different from
the restrictions on iterating
Collections today; if a
Collection is
modified while being iterated, most implementations throw
ConcurrentModificationException.) We refer to this requirement as
It is best to avoid any side-effects in the lambdas passed to
stream methods. While some side-effects, such as debugging statements that
print out values are usually safe, accessing mutable state from these
lambdas can cause data races or surprising behavior since lambdas may
be executed from many threads simultaneously, and may not see elements
in their natural encounter order. Non-interference includes not only
not interfering with the source, but not interfering with other
lambdas; this sort of interference can arise when one lambda modifies
mutable state and another lambda reads it.
As long as the non-interference requirement is satisfied, we can
execute parallel operations safely and with predictable results even
on non-thread-safe sources such as
Below is an fragment from the JDK class
Class (the
getEnclosingMethod method), which loops over all declared methods,
matching method name, return type, and number and type of parameters.
Here is the original code:
for (Method m : enclosingInfo.getEnclosingClass().getDeclaredMethods()) { if (m.getName().equals(enclosingInfo.getName()) ) { Class<?>[] candidateParamClasses = m.getParameterTypes(); if (candidateParamClasses.length == parameterClasses.length) { boolean matches = true; for(int i = 0; i < candidateParamClasses.length; i++) { if (!candidateParamClasses[i].equals(parameterClasses[i])) { matches = false; break; } } if (matches) { // finally, check return type if (m.getReturnType().equals(returnType) ) return m; } } } } throw new InternalError("Enclosing method not found");
Using streams, we can eliminate all the temporary variables and move
the control logic into the library. We fetch the list of methods via
reflection, turn it into a
Stream with
Arrays.stream, and then use
a series of filters to reject the ones that don't match name,
parameter types, or return type. The result of
findFirst is an
Optional<Method>, and we then either fetch and return the resulting
method or throw an exception.
return Arrays.stream(enclosingInfo.getEnclosingClass().getDeclaredMethods()) .filter(m -> Objects.equals(m.getName(), enclosingInfo.getName()) .filter(m -> Arrays.equals(m.getParameterTypes(), parameterClasses)) .filter(m -> Objects.equals(m.getReturnType(), returnType)) .findFirst() .orElseThrow(() -> new InternalError("Enclosing method not found");
This version of the code is more compact, more readable, and less error prone.
Stream operations are very effective for ad hoc queries over collections. Consider a hypothetical "music library" application, where a library has a list of albums, an album has a title and a list of tracks, and a track has a name, artist, and rating.
Consider the query "find the names of albums that have at least one track rated four or higher, sorted by name." To construct this set, we might write:
List<Album> favs = new ArrayList<>(); for (Album a : albums) { boolean hasFavorite = false; for (Track t : a.tracks) { if (t.rating >= 4) { hasFavorite = true; break; } } if (hasFavorite) favs.add(a); } Collections.sort(favs, new Comparator<Album>() { public int compare(Album a1, Album a2) { return a1.name.compareTo(a2.name); }});
We can use the
stream operations to simplify each of the three major
steps identification of whether any track in an album has a rating
of at least for (
anyMatch), the sorting, and the collection of
albums matching our criteria into a
List<Album> sortedFavs = albums.stream() .filter(a -> a.tracks.anyMatch(t -> (t.rating >= 4))) .sorted(Comparator.comparing(a -> a.name)) .collect(Collectors.toList());
Comparator.comparing() method takes a function that extracts a
Comparable sort key, and returns a
Comparator that compares on
that key.
In the examples so far, we've used the
collect() method to gather
the elements of a stream into a
List or
Set. The argument to
collect() is a
Collector, which embodies a recipe for folding
elements into a data structure or summary. The
Collectors class
contains factories for many common collectors;
toList() and
toSet() are among the most commonly used, but there are many more
that can be used to perform sophisticated transforms on the data.
Collector is parameterized by its input and output types. The
toList() collector has an input type of some
T and an output type
List<T>. A slightly more complicated
Collector is
toMap, of
which there are several versions. The simplest version takes a pair
of functions, one which maps input elements to map keys, and the other
to map values. It takes a
T as input and produces a
K and
V are the result types of the key and value mapping
functions. (More complex versions allow you to customize the type of
the resulting map, or to resolve duplicates when multiple elements map
to the same key.) For example, to create a reverse index on a known
unique key such as catalog number:
Map<Integer, Album> albumsByCatalogNumber = albums.stream() .collect(Collectors.toMap(a -> a.getCatalogNumber(), a -> a));
Related to
toMap is
groupingBy. Let's say we wanted to tabulate
our favorite tracks by artist. We want a
Collector that takes as
Track and produces a
Map<Artist,List<Track>>. This exactly
matches the behavior of the simplest form of the
collector, which takes a classification function and produces a map
keyed by that function, whose corresponding values are a list of input
elements who correspond to that key.
Map<Artist, List<Track>> favsByArtist = tracks.stream() .filter(t -> t.rating >= 4) .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(t -> t.artist));
Collectors can be composed and reused to produce more complex
collectors. The simple form of the
groupingBy collector organized
elements into buckets according to the classification function (here,
the track's artist), and put all elements that map to the same bucket
into a
List. There is a more general version that lets you use
another collector to organize the elements within a bucket; this
version takes a classifying function and a downstream collector as
arguments, and all elements mapped into the same bucket by the
classifying function are passed to the downstream collector. (The
one-argument version of
groupingBy implicitly uses
toList() as its
downstream collector.) For example, if we want to collect the tracks
associated with each artist into a
Set instead of a
List, we could
combine this with the
toSet() collector:
Map<Artist, Set<Track>> favsByArtist = tracks.stream() .filter(t -> t.rating >= 4) .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(t -> t.artist, Collectors.toSet()));
If we wanted to categorize tracks by artist and rating to create a multi-level map, we could do:
Map<Artist, Map<Integer, List<Track>>> byArtistAndRating = tracks.stream() .collect(groupingBy(t -> t.artist, groupingBy(t -> t.rating)));
As a final example, let's say we wanted to create a frequency
distribution of words that appear in track titles. We first use
Stream.flatMap() and
Pattern.splitAsStream to take a stream of
tracks and explode each track into the words in that track's name,
producing a stream of words in all the names of all the tracks. We
can then use
groupingBy using
String.toUpperCase as the classifier
function (so all words that are the same word, ignoring case, are
considered the same and therefore appear in the same bucket) and use
counting() collector as the downstream collector to count the
appearances of each word (without having to create an intermediate
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(\\s+"); Map<String, Integer> wordFreq = tracks.stream() .flatMap(t -> pattern.splitAsStream(t.name)) // Stream<String> .collect(groupingBy(s -> s.toUpperCase(), counting()));
flatMap method takes as its argument a function that maps an
input element (here, a track) to a stream of something (here, words in
the track name). It applies this mapping function to every element of
the stream, replacing each element with the contents of the resulting
stream. (Think of this as two operations, first mapping every element
to a stream of zero or more other elements, and then flattening out
the contents of the resulting streams into a single stream.) So here,
the result of the
flatMap operation is a stream containing all the
words in all the track names. We then group the words together into
buckets containing occurrences of words that are identical modulo
case, and use the
counting() collector to count the number of words
in each bucket.
Collectors class has lots of methods for constructing collectors
that can be used for all sorts of common queries, roll-ups, and
tabulations, and you can implement your own
Collector as well.

Until recently I've been using Joomla CMS to create my website – mainly to get practice for another project I'm involved in. But as I'm the only person updating my site, it's rather overkill. Another problem was that the few genealogy plug-ins were too heavy on resources for my free hosting, and I don't want to upgrade to paid.
So I've been storing my actual tree on Rootsweb with a link from my family history site, which is not only a bit clumsy, but also has another problem – for some reason all my GEDCOM files are being corrupted at some point, and I can't track down how or where. What I do know is that despite what my GEDCOM shows, my uncle and my father-in-law were never married to each other, and my grandmother was not the son of my husband's great-uncle.
My OS is Linux, and my genealogy software is GRAMPS, which uses the NarrativeWeb plug-in to create a website from its database. The instructions are included on the GRAMPS documentation site, plus the basics of customising your site.
As I've created several CSS/ HTML sites, I decided to customise – I wanted to include all the pages that I had on the Joomla-version of my site, which gave information about the main families and some of my more interesting ancestors.
I edited the template for the index page (created by the plug-in) to include a link to my blog, and added notes to GRAMPS to be used for the index page, and for the customised footer (I added my SiteMeter stats script). I also made slight changes to the CSS, to make the headings more to my liking.
I then generated my site through the GRAMPS plug-in – this lets you choose your template and any notes that make up the standard pages it creates. It also lets you choose the tree you want to include – I started with one of my children, as I wanted to include both my tree and my husband's. It also lets you set privacy requirements – to exclude living people, to include them but not show their names or details, and how long after death a person should be shown as living. The default is 25 years – sounds a long time, but we have to consider legal stuff like identity theft, and family issues.
I created the extra pages with Bluefish, the HTML editor I prefer, and then had to decide – do I add images for those pages to GRAMPS, or add them myself in a separate directory? I took this problem to the GRAMPS mailing list, where I got feed back from others who had gone this route before me. The consensus was to add them to GRAMPS – I'd know where they were, and wouldn't have to remember to add them in again when I updated the site.
I've backed up the pages I created myself, the edited template and stylesheet to another directory and to my Dropbox. The plug-in overwrites the directory every time you generate, so I need to be sure I can add these back in easily if they're accidentally deleted. Finally, testing on my PC was finished and I was ready to upload to the server.
Uploading the entire site took a couple of hours, so I've installed Sitecopy on my PC so that I can easily update the website without uploading eveything. Sitecopy will upload only updated files to my server. There are couple of good tutorials for Sitecopy at http://tinyurl.com/6v9rnyt and http://tinyurl.com/6tn4or9 . There are several similar programs for Windows.
At last my site includes family history information, family trees, and photos all in one place – I don't have to worry about out-of-date info around the web because I've forgotten to update it.

Corn Dog Castle
Dec 9, 2011 | Add Your Review
Located in Pixar Pier Disney California Adventure Park
I love having Disney California Adventure right across from Disneyland. We hop over to this fun park each time we visit for some of our favorite rides and food. Today I'll be showing you one of our favorites….The Corn Dog Castle. Calories don't count when you are at Disney right?! Lol!
How magical is Mickey's Fun Wheel? It was a cloudy day when we went, but I love the reflection on the water 🙂
Here's the Corn Dog Castle that you will find towards the back end of the park. Keep walking past Grizzly River Run, past Little Mermaid towards the right. Let your nose lead you to the greasy goodness, lol!
Unlike the Corn Dog Truck at Disneyland on Main Street, you have a few more choices to choose from such as the hot link corn dog and the cheddar cheese stick! Oh my!
Here is your counter.
Your corn diggity comes with either a bag of sliced apples or a bag of chips.
Here's the original corn dog that can also be found in Disneyland at the Red Truck on Main Street.
The Hot-Link Corn Dog was my favorite. A little spicy….I will go back for this bad boy!
I did not know what to think of the cheddar cheese stick…..but for the sake of the review I just had to see what it was like. Now, I have to be honest….I am a bit of a cheese snob. I like good cheese, so if you can get over the fact that this is a deep fried piece of Velveeta then you will be fine. It's kind of like a big grilled cheese sandwich on a stick. Not my favorite, but definitely interesting 🙂
The jumping jellyfish ride is right across from the Corn Dog Castle along with the Golden Zephyr ride.
So, have you had the Corn Dog Castle at California Adventure? Let's hear about it! Did you love the cheese stick or not so much like me? The Hot-link Corn Dog or Original?
Have a great weekend friends!!
Disclosure: We are in no way associated or sponsored by Disneyland. Just a family who enjoys visiting the parks and giving you are honest reviews

I have been to this place and didn't realize the line was on the side. I just walked up to the counter to order and this guy on the side says, "Um…Excuse me…the lines over here." Felt like an idiot. I was happy that these corndogs were like the ones at Disneyland. Will need to try the hot link one next time.

jenn i love when you do these. i miss going there and as i can see the prices have certainly changed lol!
Fun stuff though.
Don't you love the architecture of the columns entering Disneyland? Love those.

Jenny I always say the same thing…Disneyland calories don't count. I figure you are on the go the whole time they never have a chance to settle and make home. LOL! I thought of you and Corn Dog Castle when we were there on Tuesday but we ended up eating (for the first time) at the burger place in Tomorrowland near Nemo. If you haven't ate there yet I do not recommend. Should've gone to Hungry Bear but I was trying to venture out!

How fun!! Disneyland definitely means you can indulge all you want 🙂 Your photos are so stunning, I want to hop a plane to Disneyland ASAP!

My family was in Disneyland yesterday and today, it was packed. From the look of your pictures it does not look busy. When have you found to be the best time to go? Also my husband loved the corn dogs, one of his favorites.
- 6.1
The best time to go is when the kids are in school during the week. We were there 12/10-12/13/11. Saturday and Sunday were packed. No one was there on Monday and Tuesday. We had a blast. Also, went in March of 2010 for 6 days and there was no one there either. Try off times when school is in session if you can swing it. Also, buy ponchos ahead of time and go in the rain. Short lines and you stay pretty dry with ponchos. When it rains there are no lines and we were able to stay on rides and ride over and over again if there was no one in line. We had Pirates of the Carribean to ourselves. The cast members called our boat the "Love Boat" since my hubby and I were wearing buttons Celebrating our 25th anniversary.

My son loves grilled cheese sandwiches. I don't know if he would eat cheese on a stick though.

We just got back from Disneyland! We did try the hot link corn dog and thought it was great. But not as great as the peanut butter sandwich from Pooh Corner! I have been waiting to try it since you posted about it this summer. YUMMY!! Thanks for the tip!

heyyy your meal is amazing.i just want the recipies of all your corn dog meal like cheddar cheese stick and other.can i have it please???? and i want to know you frying your hot dog before every thing or not? tnx a lot

we absolutely LOVE this place! Seriously so cheap too! I dont think I would be a fan of the cheese stick either. the hot link sounds good, I wish I had tried that instead!
- 12
Love Disney Corn Dogs! LOVE LOVE LOVE. Line can get long (maybe 15 min) but it's worth it. There are more tables at this location than in Disneyland's stand on main street. And you can sit by the lake and eat too, but stay out of the range of the fountains.

See the full story in the original source
Japan's oldest market is in Kochi prefecture (Shikoku) and has been going on for over 390 year. t started in the Edo period when a Feudal lord set it up so citizens could get everyday things for life like fruits and vegetables, clothes and blacksmith goods. Today, the tradition is the same. Farmers, bakers and craftsmen from all over Kochi drive into the city every Sunday morning before 5am to set up their stand to sell. Most vendors are seniors, some over 90 years old! Kochi Sunday Market is also famous for having very good vegan food options which is not very easy to find in Japan. Vegetarians will fare well here but vegan's must still ask about ingredients like dashi (fish soup stock used in cooking). ? INAKAZUSHI ???? This is an amazing variety of vegetables sometimes fermented on a bed of rice like nigiri sushi. Vegetables you'll find include MYOGA (ginger), SHITAKE mushrooms, TAKE (bamboo sprouts), Konnyaku, RYUUKYUU Potato Steamed Stem We also eat ?? Deep fried sweet potato tempura ??

Hello again, friends.
Something that a lot of people misunderstand is what it takes to be a tank. As a warrior, does a shield make you able to tank? Is it the skill derived from years and years of practice? A lot of people are of the mindset that only the "best" or better players than themselves tank and that any trial on their part is wasted effort. This partly stems from the pressure we put on tanks we run with, be they PUGs or guildies, and also from the stories we tell that glorify our tanks to others. Those more in the know understand that while tanking may not be all that difficult there is a definite burden placed upon their shoulders and thus have no qualms about not wanting to tank.
For a bear, unlike a warrior or paladin, we simply cannot shapeshift and be raid-ready or even dungeon-ready. What separates a cat from a bear, both spec'd Feral, is how we apply our talent points. We have no parry, no traditional block (our "block" being our mastery and inferior to a warrior/paladin), and no more massive health pools relative to other tanks; this puts the onus all on our talents and how they reduce the incoming damage we take.
With the Cataclysm revamp of talent trees it has become even harder to mess up any one build. If you are speccing for DPS you take all the +damage talents you can find and choose any utility talents which looks good to you. The same could be said for healing and tanking to an extent. Even still on my holy paladin I find bear after bear, warrior after warrior, paladin after paladin with a spec which makes no sense and gearing like a hummingbird whose veins were pure LSD. While I can go off cursory knowledge I've absorbed by those better than I to tell warriors/paladins how they can improve (DKs be warned: I've tried to tank as your class and I've done OK, but then I've tried to study what it takes to DK-tank at higher levels and OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK BLOOD STRIKE so I'm pretty clueless at your class), they are not what I know in my gut… but bears are. I know bears, baby, and I can help you talent.
Rather than Balance Express or Restoration Bus you've taken the Feral Train to bear town and I'll be your conductor on this joyous ride.
One of the first things you'll notice when you specialize into the Feral tree is that you gain access to four abilities, three of which are good for us bears: the first is Mangle, which we've discussed before; Aggression, a 25% bonus to our attack power; and Vengeance, a wonky little thing that allows us to gain attack power based on how hard we get hit (up to 10% of our base health). We care little for Prowling as a kitty, so we'll gloss over that.
Since I've only gotten to level 30 with my guides, I'll only focus on the first 11 talent points you'll use as a RDF tanking bear. Until level 29 (our 11th talent point) we have only 2 talents that help us out with survivability while the rest will focus on rage generation. It's hard to critique talents this low on the tree without understanding that some/most have secondary effects that other druids may or may not take should they choose (they should not), but the fact that it takes 14 levels of tanking to get any kind of pure damage reduction talent irks me quite a bit. Perhaps I'll feel less inclined towards anger later on when the RDF tanking tribulations of Pazdingo have lost their sheen in my memory, but for the moment they're fresh and I'm pretty damn irritated.
This is the talent selection I strongly recommend at level 29:
Let's dig a little deeper, why don't we?
LEVELS 10-11: Feral Swiftness. This is an incredible talent to get so quickly into our tree. Any bear not taking this talent should be shot and skinned for their blasphemy. If you've read it and are still confused, I'll be brief: you get 4% extra dodge. There it is, folks. 4% extra dodge. Any extra of our best avoidance stat is a good thing. Another good thing is that it scales, so as we get more dodge we'll see a bigger increase via this talent.
LEVELS 13-17: Furor. This is an amazing way to gain rage from zero. You should be using it in conjuncture with Enrage at the start of most pulls when you have no rage. It's also a boon when you decide to quest for a bit while waiting for RDF queues, since all you need to do is pop Cat Form and bam diggity bam you have 100 energy.
LEVELS 19-21: Primal Fury. I took this first, as opposed to the other three options, because it is a very good tanking talent. 5 rage from any critical attack is nothing to scoff at, despite the fact that crit only becomes very good at a much higher level. Since we wear rogue/low-level hunter/shaman gear, we'll see some crit on our gear, so why not make it count?
LEVELS 23-25: Infected Wounds. This is a very nice tanking talent. It applies a debuff that reduces the target's movement speed by 50% and reduces the attack speed of the target by 20%. What we care about is the latter effect, which will overall reduce the incoming damage coming from the Big Bads. More goodness.
LEVELS 27-29: Two abilities: Feral Aggression & Thick Hide. The first ability is a decent threat boost in that it reduces the amount of time it takes for us to apply three stacks of Faerie Fire (Feral). FF(F) is something we always want on the boss or as many monsters as we can get it on to increase the damage done to them. What's not to love?
The second ability is something I want to spend a little time on. At level 29 we're allowed access to the third tier of talents, giving you a bevy of abilities to choose from. The problem is that only two of them are actually good for bears, while the other two are pretty crummy given the other choices we have. The two that we will eventually fill out are the aforementioned Thick Hide and Feral Charge. Thick Hide is a glorious talent which does a great number of things: the first is that it increases the armor we get from our gear by 10%; the second is that it increases the armor we have while in bear form by a whipping 78%, something which was increased pretty recently in the expansion; the third is that it makes us immune to Bad Things critting us. All things are amazing for tanking, while Feral Charge only lets us run fast on a 15 second CD. Given that, which would you choose as a bear leveling through RDF? (Hint: you want Thick Hide.)
All in all, by level 29 and 30 you should be seeing a great increase in the amount of damage you can take and your threat. You won't have Swipe yet but you'll be much more able to hold onto a few things with the glyph'd Maul and liberal applications of FF(F)/Mangle. Things will not be perfect, but know that it is doable.
Please, if you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments. I'm but a humble servant, here to help.

A 20-year-old man who shot and killed the father of his ex-girlfriend last year pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of second-degree murder.
A 20-year-old man who shot and killed the father of his ex-girlfriend last year pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of second-degree murder and one count of burglary with a firearm and was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
The plea at the Alachua County Criminal courthouse was the result of a negotiated agreement in which the state agreed to reduce the first-degree murder charge, which carried a mandatory life sentence, down to second-degree murder, which carries a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison. The burglary charge, because it involved a firearm, also carried a 25-year sentence.
After a lengthy recitation of all the rights Willard Newman was waiving by entering his guilty plea, Eighth Circuit Court Judge Ysleta McDonald sentenced Newman to 50 years in prison, a recommended sentence that was agreed upon by defense attorney John Broling and Assistant State Attorney Christopher Elsey.
Authorities have said that on May 29, 2012, a then 19-year-old Newman lay in wait in the bedroom of his 15-year old ex-girlfriend with a .38-caliber pistol and plans to kill her father Ronald Andrews, the ex-girlfriend and himself. The teen girl missed the school bus home that day unbeknownst to Andrews, who opened her bedroom door and was shot three times by Newman. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Thursday, Newman stood almost completely still at the podium as Broling asked him questions to confirm in open court the facts necessary to show that his plea was entered freely and voluntarily.
Newman answered mostly "yes", "no" or "I understand."
A medical professional recently declared Newman incompetent to enter a guilty plea on the basis of being on powerful anti-psychotic medication. On July 10, Broling withdrew the defense's Suggestion of Incompetence to Proceed, which had been based on that medical opinion, clearing the way for him to enter his guilty plea Thursday.
Newman confirmed in court that he had refused his medication at the jail for the two days prior to entering his plea.
Because Newman entered a voluntary guilty plea, he has also waived his right to appeal, except on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel. Broling was the third attorney to represent Newman in the 14 months since his arrest.
Newman's mother was allowed to give a brief statement on her son's behalf. Tammy Olivera approached the podium in nurse's scrubs and wept as she asked Judge McDonald to consider that Newman was her only child, had never been in trouble before the murder and was an honor student in high school. McDonald answered her that she understood the entire situation was a tragedy.
The family of Ronald Andrews was present at the trial, but did not give victim impact statements.
Outside the courtroom after the sentencing, Sandra Andrews, the victim's widow, said she accepted the sentence.
"Fifty years is better than nothing," Sandra Andrews said. "I just wish it would have been life. Or death."
Deputy Chief Investigator Darry Lloyd of the State Attorney's Office said the family of Ronald Andrews agreed to the 50-year sentence recommendation in the interest of avoiding a drawn-out trial.
"There are no winners in this," Lloyd said. "There are two families essentially without a loved one. For this case, this was a good resolution to a terrible case."

Texas Republican Michael Conaway is one of two representatives leading a House ethics probe into Representative Shelley Berkley, the Nevada Democrat who has been accused of using her office to aid her husband's medical practice.
The House Ethics Committee Chairman Jo Bonner of Alabama and ranking member Linda Sanchez of California released a statement Monday that the committee voted unanimously June 29 to create a "special investigative subcommittee" to look into the allegations, Politico reports.
That subcommittee will be chaired by Conaway and Rep. Donna Edwards, D- Md., along with Reps. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., both of whom will also work on the investigative subcommittee.
Conaway, a fourth-term Republican from Midland, is an accountant skilled in the field of forensic accounting, the unraveling of complex monetary transactions. His expertise was used by national Republicans several years ago after an employee stole money from a GOP campaign committee.
The case takes on added weight given Berkley's current political standing — she's challenging Republican Dean Heller in a Nevada Senate race, one that's currently close in the polls and stands to carry national weight. Democrats view Nevada as one of a mere handful of states where they have the potential to win GOP Senate seats (along with Maine, New Hampshire and Arizona).
A Berkley loss would add pressure on Senate Democrats to protect endangered incumbents in Missouri, Montana, Ohio and Florida, as well as upping the ante in open-seat contests in Virginia, North Dakota and Arizona.
The allegations involving Berkley first surfaced last September, when The New York Times reported that the Nevada representative used her office to help her husband's kidney transplant practice. The Las Vegas-based office at the University Medical Center was facing federal shutdown in 2008, after concerns rose about the failure rate among kidney recipients. After Berkley intervened, the practice's contract was extended.
Her actions "were among a series over the last five years in which she pushed legislation or twisted the arms of federal regulators to pursue an agenda that is aligned with the business interests of her husband, Dr. Larry Lehrner," The Times reported. Berkley denied a conflict of interest.
The independent watchdog Office of Congressional Ethics called for a probe, leading the Ethics Committee to decide to create the subcommittee that will investigate Berkeley's actions. Once the subcommittee concludes its investigation, it will decide whether the Nevada Democrat violated any House rules and make a recommendation for further action.
It's a decision that aids the GOP in its campaign against Berkley, granting them license to portray the Democrat as a political figure under investigation with a role in shady dealings. Adding to the evidence against Berkley is a letter she wrote to the then-head of the Ways and Means subcommittee that oversees Medicare, Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif. The letter was "urging him to use caution when revisiting compensation for dialysis providers," the National Journal Daily reported, and was written on the same day Berkley "received a number of campaign contributions from medical companies that deal with kidney dialysis."
Berkley's campaign manager, Jessica Mackler, released a statement to Politico that tried to downplay the decision to create a subcommittee as a setback to Berkley's political race.
"We are pleased with the committee's decision to conduct a full and fair investigation, which will ensure all the facts are reviewed. We are confident that ultimately it will be clear that Congresswoman Berkley's one and only concern was for the health and well-being of Nevada's patients," Mackler said. "That's why she joined then Republican Congressman Dean Heller to prevent Nevada's only kidney transplant program from being shut down by Washington bureaucrats. With more than 200 Nevada patients desperately waiting for a lifesaving kidney transplant, it would have been irresponsible of her not to work with the state's entire congressional delegation to protect the program."
Still, speaking on condition of anonymity, a top Senate Democratic strategist told Politico the damage may too much for Berkely to bounce back from.
"This is going to make it real, real tough," the strategist told Politico. "I am not sure she can overcome it."
