Hi! Let's go on an adventure!
I am from Oklahoma, and I recently moved to MD. I like to wear t-shirts and jeans, but I love to dress up in suits when the opportunity arises. I like to get outside and get dirty. My dog and I hike whenever we get the chance. I like to do new things, for example, I am learning how to truly backpack (there is a ton to it!). I think it's important to take care of yourself, and fortunately for me, I think its fun! I love to exercise and to cook. You can usually find me any combination of: outside, with my dog, exploring new places, relaxing. I am looking for someone who likes to adventure and who is open to new things. Its important to me to communicate, be open and honest. I like having deep conversations and having fun. I love to laugh, and I think its important not to take yourself too seriously.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting

I have a Dutch Shepherd named Remy, after Rembrandt. He is awesome, and I love him.
I'm new to the area so I don't really know the area that well yet. I like Rams Head Tavern.
I love tons of music, I am not huge into country or metal, but both genres have something appealing. As for movies, I love cartoon movies like Pixar and Dreamworks, and just anything funny, moving or exciting. I freakin LOVE eating and cooking!

Yorkshire Dales National Park Things to Do
We had a number of family holidays in Swaledale and stayed at a cottage in Gunnerside, near Muker. I've got fond memories of these holidays as we used to take our dog with us and go on incredible hikes in the surrounding valley. One walk I particularly remember is the Muker-Keld-Muker Circular Walk and we did it again a few years ago in November...more
We visited Leyburn, West Burton (Technically in Bishopdale, a dale branch of Wensleydale) and Aysgarth Falls in December 2013.A bit about WensleydaleWensleydale is River Ure's valley (dale) situated in the North of England and the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Exception is that the valley is not named about the principal river but...more
In December 2013 we visited West Burton village, where we used to stay for our family holidays, in Bishopdale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The dales is a dale branch of Wensleydale and the Bishopdale Beck flows through the dale and joining the River Ure.You can read about about Bishopdale via this Wikipedia link.more

Newby Hall Gardens
This is a beautiful garden to visit and a great day out.Originally we were going to visit Thorp Perrow Arboretum, just a few miles away from the site we were staying on but as we had a two for the price of one voucher for Newby Hall, it made better economic sense to go there.The drive is impressive enough but the hall and gardens are something...more

We ( Hans and I, June (poons), Sue (Suet), Angie (Angiebabe) and Sue (Suvanki ) headed for THE TEA COTTAGE and took an outside table at the Tea Terrace, overlooking the wonderful Bolton Abbey Priory. We all had our "pot o' tea" and scones with creamy butter and jam. I also had some...more
Cross Keys Inn, Cautley
There are many pubs and restaurants in the Yorkshire Dales but one worthy of mention is the Cross Keys Inn at Cautley on the western edge of the Dales -- it's actually now in Cumbria due to government boundary changes.The inn dates back to the mid-17th century and is a temperance inn -- this status followed an incident around 100 years ago when the...more

Car is the best means for getting around the Dales but failing that, there are more buses than you think, especially summertime.

The website below will give you all the times you...more

Yorkshire Dales National Park Local Customs
Sheep dogs
There are sheep dog trials and shows in the Dales every summer. You can see dogs in action at the farm shows in Muker and Reeth in Swaledale in spring and autumn, but there are also shows in Hawes once a week summertime. Check with the tourist offices to see the times during your visit. There are also posters all over Hawes' shops in summer.more
Dry-stone walls
All over the Yorkshire Dales you will see these walls, constructed by stone and stone alone. This is a special way to build and not many can do it these days but there are courses held every summer if you are interested (check with the local tourist offices).more
Lead mining
The Yorkshire Dales was a centre for lead mining already in Roman days, but had its peak in the 18th and 19th century on the desolate fellsides above the dales themselves. It must have been awful to work the mines and get lead poisoned bit by bit whilst your family squeezed together in a tiny and cold cottage somewhere in the area. As the use of...more
Yorkshire Dales National Park Warnings and Dangers
Lifetime love
I say this now so that you are prepared (and this is true for most people I know)...the Yorkshire Dales are very addictive. Once you've seen them, you will want to come again and again and in fact, you will feel like uprooting there and then and move all your belongings to Bishopdale...or Swaledale...or Wensleydale...or...more
Because of public transport, you're often better off driving yourself in Yorkshire - especially the Dales. Just bear in mind that driving conditions are special here. For a start, most roads are fairly narrow country lanes and again this is especially true for the national park areas. Secondly, those roads often have either hedgerows (in the Vale...more

Yorkshire Dales National Park Tourist Traps
Entrance Fee, Hardraw Force.
I know Hardraw Force is in the grounds of the Green Dragon Pub but I still think having to pay £2 a head to see a natural feature is a bit steep.
Unique Suggestions: Enjoy every last minute. Actually, it was a bit annoying because bridges and footpaths were closed so there was only one route to walk.
You can always have a damn good moan to each other, as we did! I know, we are really tight with money!!!!
Fun Alternatives: There is no alternative if you want to see the fall. In times gone by, we had actually accessed the footpath from the churchyard but we noticed fences had been errected since our last visit. Was this God's handiwork??Related to:

There are lots of alternatives for those who want to walk in the Dales. The most famous paths to go through the park are the Coast to Coast walk, and the Pennine Way. The Coast to Coast walk enters Yorkshire from Cumbria up in Swaledale in the north and you follow that dale to Richmond at its lower end. The Pennine Way follows the Pennine Hills...more

To me, the most peaceful and serene part of Bolton Abbey was THE GRAVEYARD.

Thanks everybody, I'm overwhelmed! I have never experienced such a warm welcome in any forum before!
A Hasselblad? Well, to be honest, I have been thinking about one seriously. Especially as I live not far from the factory where they were made. I learnt a few things from my grandfather, though, and one thing is that it is wiser to concentrate on one good camera system rather than on several systems, which by nature would have to be either less complete or built around lenses of lower quality. (Needless to say he owned an uncountable number of cameras, many more than he could ever use.). This is not to say that I would mind owning a Hasselblad with a few lenses and magazines, or a Fuji GSW690III for that matter. But right now my photography would probably benefit more from a robust tripod. (The Gitzo GT3530LSV + Markins M20 seems like good a combination, if the hype is to be believed).
I have developed about a dozen of rolls by myself, and I'm starting to like Plus-X in Paterson Aculux3 (FP4+ in D76 is not too bad either). I fight spots on the negatives by using a combination of distilled water + photo flo + isopropanol and then wiping the non-emulsion side dry with a clean cloth.
Nice to see a lot of Scandinavian people being film oriented as well, I thought film was almost dead over here. The Swedish magazine Foto hasn't had a single word to say about film in the last 2-3 years. The last time must have been when they reviewed the Leica M7 and concluded that it was a nice camera, but using film was a nuissance. (OK, there has been an article or two about the toy camera hype, but that's about it.)
Well, thanks again, you have convinced me that this is surely a good place to spend some time! See you in the forums!

Con-dree-ur: Now that's a mouthful: The Viognier grape is much easier to sip than say
Yalumbra Organic Viognier 2012 is bursting with fruity flavours
Condrieu, a word that looks like it
could be a French car model, is in fact a tiny appellation specialising
in a single grape variety – Viognier – that can offer you decent value
compared to other fine wines.
But the burning question on everyone's lips is, of course, how on earth do you say it? 'Con-dree-ur' is about right.
And Viognier is 'Vee-yon-yay'. Easier
to sip than to say!
Viognier makes soft, mellow whites, sometimes aged
in oak to give them more spice and texture.
The wines exude fragrance and flavour
similar to peaches and apricots.
Expect an exotic and richly textured wine that couples beautifully with gingery spiced dishes or the king of fish, turbot.
If you're a fan of Chardonnay,
Chenin Blanc or Pinot Gris, you'll get along famously with Viognier.
Château Grillet is a producer and appellation commanding prices of £80
or more a bottle, but other winemakers such as Georges Vernay (Condrieu
Chaillées d'Enfer 2008, £52, yapp.co.uk, is a wine that gleams with
greatness), Yves Cuilleron and François Villard are well worth seeking

- OLLY SMITH: How to pick winning wines for under £15 30/04/15
On a recent wine visit to the south of France, I bought a bottle of Villard's 2010 De Poncins Condrieu (£52, bbr.com), which is one of the fattest and most delicious white wines I've tasted in a long time.
But the way to slash the budget and find great value wines is to look for Viognier made beyond Condrieu.
Domaine du Bosc 2012 is £5.95 from the Wine Society, and comes from down the road in France's sun-drenched south. It's a brilliant white wine, lightly scented, gentle and with near-perfect balance.
For the price it's a steal. It's amazing to think just a few decades ago, France was pretty much the only place with Viognier.
Today you can find it all over the world: Spain, Chile, South Africa, the U.S... One of the most surprising examples I've tasted was in the company of Italian winemaker Matteo Ascheri.
He opened his 2008 Viognier for me to taste. Think beeswax, ginger and even a touch of sage.
It's amazing. Ascheri hardly ever lets any out of his sight but grab it if you spot it.
In the meantime, I'd stick with the bargains and revel in the fragrance of this exotic, peachy grape.

Bernie Mac: (talking to the camera) America, I want to make this perfectly clear -- not all black people are alike. Take me and my wife for example. Yeah, we both like fried chicken and the Commodores. We need lotion, stuff like that, but we came up different. When I was a boy, Big Mama used to hit me so hard, made my teeth click. I mean, I got my ass whupped -- beatings. Now, at Wanda's house? Huh, family meetings -- "Sweetheart, I'm very disappointed in you." See, I didn't get all that talking to, and I'm not complaining, but it made me a better man. I mean, I don't tolerate nonsense, just like none was tolerated from me. Now, Wanda, on the other hand, she's soft, lenient -- she goes too easy on the kids. Now, I'm not saying we should beat them, although, you know. I'm just saying we're different.

Penn Scientists Identify Patterns of RNA Regulation in the Nuclei of Plants
When the human genome was first sequenced, experts predicted they would find about 100,000 genes.

The question logically arose: how can a relatively small number of genes lay the blueprint for the complexities of the human body?

In the Navy Now
Through a phone conversation that spanned an ocean, U.S. Navy Mate Fireman Mark Davis, a 2008 graduate of Mills E. Godwin High, shared with the Henrico Citizen's Caitlin Davis (no relation) a glimpse into what his daily life aboard the USS Harry S. Truman is like.
"The Navy has invested a lot in me, and I have invested a lot in the Navy," he said.
Portions of his interview follow.
Henrico Citizen: Why did you decide to join the Navy?
Mark Davis: I have always wanted to join the military. I didn't think that I would be very good at college. . .just my personality. I didn't go to college because I was afraid of getting arrested or getting expelled. I was not quite as disciplined as I am now.
HC: What is it like living on a ship?
Davis: It's kinda like a city, but it doesn't feel like a city to me. There are 5,000 sailors, and I work at the bottom of the ship; I only see one-third of the crew. There are 182 other guys in the area where I sleep, and the bunk beds are stacked three high. If you can sleep, you do sleep. Overall it's not too bad; sometimes space is a little small.
HC: Describe your job in the Navy.
Davis: I am usually turning wrenches most of the day. We monitor the seals and are responsible for the upkeep. Our gear is pretty well maintained. We do a good job of preventive maintenance. We have to make sure the ship doesn't flood.
HC: What have you changed since being in the Navy?
Davis: There have been some subtle changes. I am more disciplined. I don't get into nearly as much trouble as I used to; it's hard to get into trouble with the Navy. If you show up on time, do your job moderately well. . .you'll be fine.
HC: What have you learned in the Navy?
Davis: I was in the Boy Scouts while I was at Godwin. It taught me some leadership skills and how to deal with people from different backgrounds. Since being in the Navy, I learned that people from different backgrounds can still get the job done. I have also learned more leadership skills, more discipline, more control, and I have learned more about being a mechanic.
HC: So far, what has been your most memorable memory with the Navy?
Davis: I got to go out on the flight deck and watched as we went through the Strait of Gibraltar; on one side there was one continent, Europe, and on the other side there was another continent, Africa. Not many people get to see that.
HC: Is living on a ship a lonely life?
Davis: I don't think it's a lonely life. I had friends before I got on the ship. Sometimes it can be lonely when I hear about my friends who have gotten married and I don't have a girlfriend. I can call and email my friends and family and keep in touch.
HC: What do you miss the most about being on land?
Davis: I miss being able to do things on my own time. I stay busy on the ship. I don't feel trapped, and I don't have time to miss dry land.
HC: What is something you would like to experience while in the Navy?
Davis: I would like to go inside the Arctic Circle. I want to stay in the Navy long enough to do that, but it depends upon what ship you get stationed on.
HC: What are your plans after the Navy?
Davis: I'm not sure yet. I have two years left in my current contract. I may reenlist, go to college or join the Marine Corps.

I have User, Account, and Role models. Role stores the relationship type between Account and User.
I left
attr_accessible in
Role blank to prevent a mass assignment vulnerability (otherwise attackers could change the role type--owner, admin, etc...--, account or user ids).
But what if an admin wants to change a subscriber to a moderator? This would raise a mass assignment security exception:
user = User.find(params[:id])
role = user.roles.find_by_account_id(params[:account_id])
role.type = "admin"
How do I solve this? One way is to create a separate model to represent each role (owner, admin, moderator, subscriber) and use an STI type pattern. This lets me do:
user = User.find(params[:id])
user.moderatorship.build(account_id: params([:account_id])
Tedious! I would have to create Onwership, Moderatorship, Subscribership, etc..., and have them inherit from Role. If I want to stick to a single Role model, how can I have dynamic roles without exposing myself to mass assignment vulnerability?
Bonus question: Should I use a User has_many roles (user can have a single record for each role type) or has_one role (user can only have one role record, which must be toggled if their role changes) pattern?
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :email
has_many :accounts, through: roles
class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :title
has_many :users, through: roles
class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to: :user

Dodge Durango Problem Report
Dodge Durango Whining Noise at Freeway Speeds From Rear of Vehicle
(16 reports)
A whining noise heard driving at freeway speeds (more than 55 mph) can be normal noise from the rear axle which is being transmitted through the body. A body/frame damper is available which may help with this concern.
Similarly, my 2WD 2005 Durango has a whining noise about 60-70mph and when I let up on the gas pedal to coast the noise goes away, push down on the pedal can hear immediately. - Visitor

Nigerian man who lost daughters in Kano attack: 'My heart is now broken'
Stephen Wogor raced to his wife's food stall to find one girl dead and another — Magdalene, his youngest — clinging to life after Sunday's suicide bombing, blamed on Boko Haram.

"It was a Boko Haram attack. They do not like us because we're Christians."
Stephen Wogor
Father of girls who died
ABUJA, NIGERIA—Magdalene Stephen was often the first thing her father would see when he woke up. The 6-year-old girl took delight in stirring her father from sleep to nuzzle in for a hug.
"Magdalene was my heart," Stephen Wogor said, his voice starting to crack. "My heart is now broken. I cannot do anything without her again. They took my joy."
Magdalene and her older sister, Sonia, were killed Sunday evening in a suicide car bombing in Kano, Nigeria's most heavily populated northern city. The girls were helping their mother at a nearby roasted fish stand when the car exploded.
More from the Star in Nigeria:
Wogor sprinted from his own stand, where he peddles instant noodles, to his daughters splayed on the street among the smouldering debris.
He wrapped his arms around Sonia, his 13-year-old. Her skull was split and her legs broken. Blood leaked from her stomach.
"I knew she was not alive but I still took her to the hospital," her father said.
He ran back to the carnage to find his Magdalene — his heart, his joy. She writhed on the ground, missing part of a leg, but alive. He rushed her to the hospital.
"The injuries were too bad," he said, crying through the phone.
Police arrested two men Monday in connection with the bomb blast that killed five, including the suicide bomber, Agence France-Presse reported.
People detained the men in a bus station after overhearing the pair talk about Sunday's deadly blast. Boko Haram, an Islamic militant group, had previously bombed the same bus station.
Wogor, like many in Kano, says Boko Haram targeted his neighbourhood because it is an enclave filled with Christians in a predominantly Muslim state. Sabon Gari, known as the "foreign district," is home to many restaurants and clubs whose clients openly disobey the state's sharia law.
"It was a Boko Haram attack. They do not like us because we're Christians," Wogor said.
Boko Haram, whose name is Hausa for "western education is sin," has targeted churches, mosques, schools and other government buildings as part of its campaign to turn Nigeria into a strict Islamic state. Their bombings in the Sabon Gari district have killed at least 40 people in the past year.
Sonia was a studious child who dreamed of being a doctor, her father said. She volunteered to do chores at home and was always the first to help her mother roast fish to sell.
Magdalene, the youngest of Wogor's six children, was his favourite. They did everything together, he said, from eating to sleeping, her slim frame burrowed in his chest.
They had just finished eating together Sunday night when Magdalene ran outside to visit her mother's stall.
The ground near the blast is now stained from fire and blood. The walls of a nearby building are pocked with shrapnel, a witness said.
Police in Kano on Monday found an abandoned Mitsubishi station wagon wired with cables, two gas tanks and a gallon of petroleum stored in the back. The bomb was never detonated.
Wogor no longer feels safe in the city where he has lived for 28 years.
"I don't know what will happen next," he said. "The best plan I have is leave to protect my family."

The Plan To Bring Analytics To eSports 33 33

In a new interview, founder and former Electronic Sports League boss Jens Hilgers reveals that the company's main product, Dota training and replay site Bruce.GG, will use machine learning to teach itself what are good and bad plays — and he hopes to bring the tech to other games, like Counter-Strike, too. "The feedback of the users watching these videos, these input points, are allowing us to determine the relevancy of what we have done and the system will learn from that and get smarter," he says.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
