Hermeneutics (second week only)
Devotions and Worship
Chosen Track
Study & Reflection
Student Prayer
(for everyone)
Build a foundational understanding of the Bible — on both a macro and micro level – by learning the basic hermeneutical framework of the Bible and applying this foundational framework to several book studies during your on-campus training. Our objective is to help you develop a consistent hermeneutic in accordance with John 5:38-39; Hebrews 1:1-4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; and 2 Peter 1:20-21.
Learn the foundational aspects of how to intelligently study the Bible using the tools of 1) observation 2) determining meaning and understanding and 3) how to think about your observations and understandings to make proper application. This will allow you to confidently bear witness to Truth, as well as to have the skills necessary to help others understand the meanings and Truths of the Bible. This class will help you understand how to study the Bible for all issues, theology, doctrine, and know how to continue your studies in hermeneutics.
Hebrews 5:11-14 directly ties discernment to continuing maturity in the faith. This class will help students learn to make distinctions between good and evil, Truth and error, Biblical and unBiblical, etc. The students will learn how to think Biblically, how to ask questions and come to proper conclusions about Truth, and how to apply that Truth in thinking, speaking, acting, and decision-making. This class is full of hands-on practice in applying Biblical principals of discernment to contemporary Christianity.
(choose one)
Whether you desire to pen your first book or merely seek to communicate more effectively, this practical Biblical communications track is hand-crafted for you. Split into two sections—written and verbal communication—you will:
Through this hands-on practical experience that will instruct, equip, and give you time to practice both speaking and writing, you will focus primarily on the key area of communication you want to develop (i.e.: writing or speaking).
Students will look at three specific areas of preparation: content, communication, and culture. In other words:
Whether you feel called to minister to younger girls in your daily life or desire to start a ministry for today's young women, this course will prepare you with a Christ-centered foundation. In this class, you will learn the top issues that young women are struggling with in today's culture and the Biblical answers they need. We will also explore the most effective and Biblically-sound ways to reach the hearts of young women and point them toward a life-changing relationship with Christ. Also, you'll discover how to use tools such as writing, speaking, and counseling to deepen your impact upon the girls you are ministering to.
Be equipped with foundational tools to communicate and teach Christianly in an educational setting. Built for mission-minded students, this track will utilize a Biblically-integrated, redemptive, Christocentric approach towards curriculum and student life. The student teacher will introduce, hone, and apply foundational teaching tools to teach on the mission field. Since teaching on the mission field is often in conjunction with orphan ministry, we will also explore best practice in effective orphan ministry.
For both men and women who believe they are called to ministry or missions and seek to rightly communicate God's Word. This track focuses on the proper handling of God's Word, understanding the basics of Biblical counseling, and how to effectively lead and serve the Body of Christ.
Have the opportunity to serve and bless the Ellerslie Classic semester students as you pray together, worship together, eat together, laugh together, and live together (if you're staying in the dorms).

Bicycling magazine consistently ranks Portland, Ore., as the best bicycling city in the country. Pittsburgh has been ranked one of the worst. But now, along with Milwaukee, Wis., they share the distinction of being the first U.S. cities to implement a free online bicycle trip planner through byCycle.com, a grass-roots bicycling version of vehicle trip planners such as Mapquest.com.
Pittsburgh's part in the project started with Friendship resident Jessi Berkelhammer, who has relied on cycling and public transportation for the past 10 years. As official bike intern with the city's Department of City Planning last fall, Berkelhammer had access to a database of information collected for a printed Bicycle Routing System map. It was created after the city determined that cycling conditions were due to a combination of "topography, climate, urbanization patters, and policy decisions."
The city map is a wall-sized printout of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data. But it has few legible street names, and at $7.50 each, "Not a lot have been sold," says assistant director of city planning Patrick Hassett.
"Their map is not designed with the road needs of cyclists in mind," Berkelhammer says. With money from the Sprout Fund, the local nonprofit arts grantmaker, Berkelhammer spent around 200 hours refining and adding Pittsburgh route data to Portland's byCycle site. The result: an improved, online, interactive bike-routing system.
Unlike trip-planners for automotive vehicles, which mainly consider distances and speed limits, byCycle takes additional factors into account: hill elevation, frequency of turns, pavement quality, number of lanes, and a factor Berkelhammer created, the "bike-ability ranking." She assigned each city block a number, from -6 up to 5, corresponding to its ride-ability; streets are by default zero, while official bike-route streets get a 3 and bike trails a 5. Hazards, such as the highways, are off the scale ... literally. She also used her experiences and suggestions from other cyclists to make further adjustments, such as setting the notorious Armstrong Tunnel at -5.
"A bicycle trip-planner is particularly useful in Pittsburgh, as the city has such a complicated topography and street layout," says Berkelhammer. "Experienced cyclists all have our own tricks and shortcuts, but it takes years to develop these. [byCycle] is helpful to inexperienced cyclists or experienced cyclists who don't know Pittsburgh so well."
The Pittsburgh site is no-frills. Berkelhammer hopes a testing event, which had been set for June 27, will iron out some of those kinks. Unfortunately, she's moving to Seattle less than a month afterward. The site will then lack maintenance or a chance to expand.
But already another local cycling advocacy group, Bike Pittsburgh, is developing its own bicycling map. Stuart Anderson, shop coordinator for the local recycle-a-bike group Free Ride, is still happy to see the byCycle Web site go up. "People come into the shop sometimes and want to start commuting, but Pittsburgh's roads can be really intimidating," he says. "Having a resource like [byCycle] is tackling the first hump in using bikes for commuting."

"Heart of Steel" sculpture unveiled in Rotherham town centrePublished Thursday, 25th June 2015
As the ambitious "Yorkshire Man of Steel" project edges ever closer, a big piece of the project is set to bring a lot of heart to Rotherham town centre.
The artist behind the Yorkshire Man of Steel, Steve Mehdi, has created an exact replica of the "Heart of Steel", which will one day sit inside the Man of Steel figure.
The full scale replica sculpture will be unveiled in the Minster Gardens, next to Rotherham Minster in Rotherham town centre, on Saturday July 4 at 11am, with the overall event itself lasting from 10.30am until late afternoon.
The Heart of Steel sculpture has been gifted to Rotherham by the charity behind the Man of Steel project with the generous support of Outokumpu High Performance Stainless and Maher Ltd.
"Life on Mars" and "Ashes to Ashes" actor Dean Andrews, together with 11-year-old British Heart Foundation (BHF) Heart Hero Jemma Holden will unveil the 3.5 metre high work of art in the popular town centre green space in a day of events and celebration.
Jemma recently won the BHF's Heart Hero award for her exceptional fundraising efforts following the death of her father last year from heart failure.
The Rotherham Heart of Steel sculpture will be placed on a plinth made out of local stone from Ulley Quarry, which will have five "time capsules" placed inside it; three from Wingfield Academy and one each from the Winterhill Ready Hub and Jemma.
The time capsules from the schools will feature information about jobs in our area, modern fashion, today's technology and information about the cost of living and leisure activities we enjoy.
The Mayor of Rotherham, Councillor Maggi Clark, will be on hand to help the children place the time capsules in the plinth.
The day of celebration, which comes at no cost to Rotherham Council thanks to a number of generous sponsors, will also feature a host of stalls, music and entertainment.
The event has been organised with the support of Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce and the BHF, who have been working with the Council on the Rotherham Heart Town project since 2012.
Music will be provided by Rotherham School Service's brass band and the West Melton Primary School Choir.
Rotherham United Community Sports Trust, Places for People Leisure and MoreLife Ltd will be hosting a series of health-related events and both Heart and Man of Steel souvenirs will be available to purchase on the day.
Managing Director of Rotherham Council, Commissioner Stella Manzie said: "The Minster Gardens is already a relaxing slice of green in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Rotherham town centre, with the inclusion of this fantastic work of art, it will become an even more beautiful and poignant place.
"This event shows what large hearts the people and organisations of Rotherham and South Yorkshire have. The list of local sponsors demonstrates the enthusiasm for this wonderful artwork, and how clearly the businesses embrace the ethos of "Love Your Town, Love Your Heart".
"Specific thanks should go to artist Steve Mehdi, who has clearly recognised the importance and impact of Rotherham as a Heart Town and all the work that has gone into raising funds to install 52 defibrillators across the area.
"His efforts, as well as those of all the sponsors of the Rotherham Heart of Steel is one that will be remembered for many, many years to come.
"The event will stand testament to the wonderful spirit and pride Rotherham's communities possess and I have little doubt that it will be a day to remember."
Lauren Mallinson, Fundraising Manager at the British Heart Foundation, added: "Heart disease devastates the lives of people in every community. That's why we're proud of the way the Rotherham Heart Town project has galvanised people throughout the community to work together and stop people's lives being cut short.
"We hope this project will inspire more people to join the fight against heart disease."
The original Heart of Steel will bear the names of 150,000 people and sit inside the 30-metre Yorkshire Man of Steel figure, set to be erected at Kimberworth in the near future.
Donations have poured in from across the county and the UK since the Heart of Steel appeal was launched in June 2014.

HtmlEncode in ASP.NET
I keep forgetting where to find HtmlEncode when working in .NET. I end up going to Google and doing a couple searches before I find the right namespace to include. Hopefully now I'll remember to look at my blog rather than Google:-)
HtmlEncode does exactly what it sounds like it should. It takes a string value as a parameter, and returns an escaped string.
using System.Web; private static string ReturnEncoded() { return (HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("
")); }
This function would return "
". Not a real useful function, but is shows how to use HtmlEncode.
This same location also has HtmlDecode, UrlEncode, and UrlDecode.
4 comments so far
I was working on a command line C# executable and couldn't find out for the life of me how to get some sort of an HttpServerUtility object. I didn't realize that HttpUtility existed.
With C# 3.0 extension methods you can have the HtmlEncode method as part of the String class…
// Extension methods for the 'String' class.
public static class StringExtensions
// Returns the HTML-encoded version of the specified string.
public static String HtmlEncode (this String s)
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty (s))
return (s);
return (HttpUtility.HtmlEncode (s));
Andrew – Thanks for the comment, and the code sample. Looks very useful!
>> Hopefully now I'll remember to look at my blog rather than Google:-)
Even better: Google lists this blog on top. Now there is nothing I need to remember 🙂
Thanks for blogging this.

My journey of designing a felt lunch bag project is finally close to its goal. I made up my mind to use laminated or oil canvas that is available from the market to make a removable, machine-washable, and waterproof inner bag, instead of trying to make the surface of the felt waterproof.
I visited local canvas shops and also spent hours to search for the waterproof cloth in the Internet. Do you know Finnish design companies, Marimekko and Finlayson? Their textile design is excellent and when I found lovely design online, it was mostly one of their designs. But unfortunately many of their patterns are too big for my inner bag. I collected waterproof canvases on my Pinterest board.
OK. This design is what I chose!
This stylish and timeless pattern is called Coronna designed by Finnish designer Aini Vaari in 1958 for Finlayson. It's PVC coated cotton, and they say that dump wiping cleans stains and in particular the strongly colored foods should be cleaned as quickly as possible, so that the wax surface does not remain traces. Its surface is mat and soft, and I think it's more natural than glossy waterproof cloths. Let's test the ability now.
I dropped soy sauce and ketchup on the cloth and pressed with a glass, then wiped by wet kitchen towel as same way as I did for the previous fabric tests.
It worked as I expected. But look at the last picture, the ketchup's stain appeared after a few days later although I wiped it as quickly as possible!
Why?? …. Oh no, can you allow this? I think you must ☺. No more wandering, no.
And here is the 6th prototype!
There is no snap buttons to hold the inner bag, but simply you can put the inner bag between the pockets and the felt bag. A zipper fastens this bag, and I have ordered special zippers from Japan made of biodegradable material (except for the metal fittings) that is the same nature as wool felt. I am happy to show you the final model of the lunch bag on the next post!

Two businessmen were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new shop...
As yet, the shop wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up.
One said to the other, "I bet any minute now some pensioner is going to walk by, put their face to the window, and ask what we're selling."
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough,
a curious old woman walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice asked :
"What are you selling here?"
One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling arseholes."
Without skipping a beat, the old dear said, "Must be doing well . . . only two left."Lesson: Don't mess with the wisdom of the old . . . . . . . we are not yet brain dead!!

Happy Friday! Mason was out of town this week and it was rough, how was I supposed to eat dinner without my chef here? Just kidding, kinda 😉 I am so glad he is home though because the house doesn't feel so lonely! Winston (our dog) was seriously so happy to see Mason, he cried when he got home, it was the cutest thing! I'm really hoping for a relaxing weekend but we will see how that goes! The weekends where I plan to do nothing almost always turn out to be craziest.
I wore this dress on Mother's day and got so many compliments! I was a little hesitant to purchase this dress because of the color. I really don't have any clothing that is chartreuse because I've always been scared to wear it, it's way different than what I usually wear. I am so glad that I did end up buying this dress though! The material is amazing and the color worked so well. I think chartreuse would look good on anyone now that I have a dress in this color. I always thought it only looked good on girls with darker hair but I have been converted! I think it's so good to branch out and try new colors every once in a while! The sleeves on this dress are originally what sold me, they are so fun. It is also super affordable at only $14 which is an absolute steal. The dress is great quality and worked out way better than expected.
What weekend plans do you ladies have? Thanks so much for reading!

Trends in ... Instruments and monitors
A significant responsibility
By Tracy Haas, editorial assistant
Instruments and monitors protect workers against a number of work-related hazards. They can detect unsafe sound levels, allowing employers to determine the proper amount of hearing protection needed for their workers. They can test the air workers breathe to measure whether it is safe, or if respiratory equipment is needed. They also can detect potentially deadly dangers, such as toxic gases. They warn employees of the possibility of a gas explosion or exposure, and can shut down systems to prevent a catastrophe.
Because of the importance of these devices, Rick Wanek, industry market manager of portable instruments at Pittsburgh-based Draeger Safety Inc., has some very specific advice to follow: "Do not skip simple and critical safety checks, such as visual inspection, watching the boot-up sequence to verify the monitor is set up properly for the day's work and, of course, always perform a functional test before any safety-critical use of a gas detector."
While this sounds very straightforward, Andrew Saunders, an applications and training specialist for Morristown, NJ-based Honeywell, asserts that "one in five, or 20 percent, of end users of gas detection fail to use them properly, if at all."
To counteract non- or misuse, the unit "must be designed to be simple to operate and must be able to perform under all kinds of severe industrial conditions," Saunders said. He points to new technologies that help with this. "One exciting development is the use of visual compliance monitoring," he said. "A flashing green light on the monitor confirms that the sensor has been properly calibrated or bump-tested. This light flashes every few seconds, or as long as the user is wearing the instrument. So the user, the safety manager and the site boss all know that the unit is safe or fit for field use."
Still, Wanek knows mistakes can have real consequences. "A more dangerous assumption is that displacement of oxygen can substitute for use of an appropriate toxic gas sensor. This is almost never true since most toxic gases are harmful at levels that would never result in enough displacement of oxygen to cause an alarm before injury or death could result," he said.
Despite new technology, problems still exist. "Users need to also look harder at the total cost of a gas detection program and not the upfront purchase," Wanek advised. "And the trend to outsource safety management must be watched carefully so that it doesn't lead to less ownership of the company safety program and a diminishing of the safety culture that has been established over the past 20 years," he added.
Saunders believes better wireless technology and GPS tracking capabilities can help make safety a more attainable goal. "Knowing where your operators or high-value assets are located at any given time will improve overall productivity, safety and time management. When this location-based history can be combined with a real-time shared communication of each operator's personal exposure to any hazardous gases in their local vicinity, then the productivity and safety gains become very significant to the asset owner," he said.
Coming next month…

What's going on here?
This site is ever evolving. It grew out of a personal blog started in 2006 and has cataloged my reading habits, my shoe obsession, my relationships, and my ongoing love of storytelling in any media. It has thrived, shriveled, and been reborn again and again. Now this site turns back to me: a presentation of self, and marketing for my work as an author.
On this site you'll find: where to find and buy my books, how to find my other writing and projects, links to things I love, and if you're inclined, my endlessly rambling blog on diverse subjects.
Tattooed ex-punk, androgynous glam rock, glittery intergalactic nonbinary queer.
Ajax Bell is more than a pseudonym. I'm a many-faceted person, and Ajax is one of my bright sides, the one that gets words down on paper. There's more to me: I cook and sew (neither as well as I'd like). I write (lucky accident of having to work only one job to live). Given the time and money, I'd move to Spain, walk on the beach, eat delicious food, read all day, and write all night.
My most spectacular super power? Not fitting in. I'm not so much a square peg in a round hole, but a four-dimensional object in a three-dimensional world. My stories aren't any easier to categorize than I am. They defy genre, crossing over and back between gay lit, erotica, and coming-of-age narratives, love stories with happy endings that aren't quite romance. That my stories are explicit and full of beautiful, smart, queer people is just wish fulfillment; I write the stories I want to read. Maybe some of you will like them too.

How Staging Is Key to Tackle the Emerging Generational GapPosted in [Demographic-based grouping], Sales Tips & Techniques, Staging, Staging Tips, Working with Clients, by Blog Contributor on November 24, 2014
By Patti Stern, Principal, PJ & Company Staging and Interior Decorating
Every one is starting to make predictions already for the 2015 housing market. One of our own predictions: 2015 will continue to be a buyer's market, particularly in certain areas where homes are older. While low inventory has plagued the market for years, a broader disconnect exists between inventory and buyer preferences.
As more Millennial's (the generation under the age of 33), enter the market and baby boomers downsize, the generation gap between buyers and sellers will further drive market conditions.
Younger home buyers make up the largest groups of today's consumers. According to a National Association of REALTORS® survey, Millennial's and slightly older Generation X represent over 60 percent of today's home buyers.
However, the bulk of the housing inventory over the next 15 years will come from retiring boomers who want to downsize and embrace a new lifestyle that doesn't include their large suburban home. It's expected that 20.1 million senior households will attempt to sell between 2015 and 2030, and according to University of Utah researcher, Arthur C. Nelson. What's more, an estimated 7.4 million won't be able to find people to buy the houses.
Younger buyers want an already updated home and with a large percentage of homes built before 1990, that poses a challenge for the market. Older, outdated homes give buyers a lot of reasons to cross the property off their list.
The 'Senior Sell Off'
Sellers who adapt to the changing marketplace and understand that today's buyers don't have the same vision when it comes to updating a home will position their property in the market and stand out from the competition.
Staging continues to be more important than ever before — whether it is a $250,000 home or a $2 million dollar home — to preserve and in some cases boost a home's value and get it sold.
Only 35.1 percent of home sellers nationwide think now is a good time to sell. But waiting may mean increased competition from similar style and aged homes. Staging and even low cost renovations can help sellers get top dollar in a shorter market time today so they don't become part of the 'senior sell-off'.
"It's important we offer sellers the resources to successfully sell their home now," says John and Joanne Hoye with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services in West Hartford, Conn. "Staging gets the properties looking their absolute best, boosting seller's confidence in listing their home today rather than waiting. It also helps address inventory issues by bringing to market more move-in condition homes. Quality, well-priced inventory will ultimately drive a more balanced market that's a win-win for our buyer and seller clients and staging can help us get there."

Sellers still do not see the full value of Staging properly, they just look at the cost. Even when a top dedicated real estate agent assists the buyer, they are just too short sighted and do not want to lay out the money.
I recently started my own staging and design consultation company because I could see it was a market ripe with opportuinty. One of my Realtors who is a huge fan and supporter of my work consistently has her home Sellers hire me to clean/pack and stage homes that are part of the estate sale market (homeowner has passed away or has gone into assisted living). Many of the adult children of these types of homeowners live out of state and have neither the time nor the desire to complete the work necessary to prepare their parents' homes for sale in the real estate market, but they are more than happy to pay someone to do it for them, which is where I come in. The proof is in the pudding; One such home I decluttered, packed, re-arranged and prepared for market was able to garner a much higher list price and sales price than had been projected by 2 other Realtors interviewed by the family. It also sold in 20 days, a much shorter time on market than was anticipated.
Sold two homes this year in record time, one in two days, one in four. one gets 99.9% of asking price and one gets over asking. Both with just a minimum amount of staging. I wish more sellers would listen to me and spend a little time and effort to make a lot more money and with a lot less head-aches.

A U.S. ship arrived at a North Korean port carrying 38,000 tons of food to be distributed to the millions of people living in hunger, U.N. sources said Sunday.
The delivery is part of a deal signed by U.S., United Nations and North Korean officials and others, giving outsiders -- including the U.N. World Food Program -- greater access to the country.
The deal follows a Friday agreement over North Korean nuclear activities in which the reclusive communist nation handed over a long-awaited nuclear declaration. North Korea later blew up part of its Yongbyon nuclear plant.
The food and nuclear deals are unrelated, U.S. officials said in May.
President Bush responded to Friday's declaration by lifting some sanctions and removing North Korea from the U.S. list of states that sponsor terrorism. Watch why the agreement was important »
Under a letter of understanding, North Korea will open more of the country to aid and allow random surveys to determine whether the intended recipients are actually getting the food. Also, the number of foreign personnel working to provide food aid will increase from 10 to 60.
The U.S. Agency for International Development has 500,000 tons of food aid to be distributed. The U.S. ship, at the port of Nampo, carried the first installment of that total.
The State Department announced the deal last month and said the 500,000 tons of aid would be distributed over the next year.
Widespread hunger in North Korea has long been reported.
The World Food Program's Web site says the most recent large-scale survey, conducted by U.N. agencies and the government, "found 37 percent of young children to be chronically malnourished, and one-third of mothers both malnourished and anemic."
Of a population of 23 million, about 5 million people are in severe need of food, according to some estimates.
North Korea previously allowed food aid to 50 counties, with restrictions.
Under the new agreement, it will allow aid to 150 counties, covering most of the country.

Trip settings
May 13, 2019
When you want to travel, how long you want your days to be, what roads you want to use, what units of distance, temperature and time you use - all your preferences for the trip can be found and adjusted in the Trip drawer.
When you create a new trip you can set the most important of your preferences: trip dates, length of your day, travel mode, lodging options. If you change your mind later, and for fine-tuning, head to the Trip drawer.
You can modify the following trip settings according to your preferences:
- Name, description, tags
- Mode of travel
- One-way or round trip
- Dates and times
- Lodging preferences
- Currency
- Trip sharing
- Refueling schedule
- Fuel type
- Personal travel speed
- Road preferences
- Unit and option selectors
- Offline access
- Car rental
- Flight booking
Name, description, tags
Although it's not required, it makes sense to name your trips. Well chosen name will make it easier to spot your trip in the My Trips screen. It will also be used when you share your trip with friends and when you publish a tripshot. If you don't configure trip name Furkot will create one for you based on the names of the first and last stop. You can of course edit or replace automatically created name at any point.
If you want, you can also add a longer description of the trip. Use it to keep notes for your co-travelers and for reminders to yourself. If you export your trip, the description is exported as well. If you publish your trip the description is visible in the tripshot. If you intend to share the trip in any way, don't put there any text that you'd rather not see on the Internet.
If you have more than a few trips, you may want to organize them: that's what tags are for. Think of tags as categories: every trip can have as many tags as you want. Trips sharing a tag will be displayed together in the My Trips list. You need to switch on the tags option above the list to see your trips grouped by tag.
If you share your trips with Furkot community the published tripshots will be grouped in albums. If the trip has tags, the first one will be used to designate the album: all public snapshots of trips sharing the same first tag are grouped in the same album.
Mode of travel
Driving is not the only option. You can also plan motorcycle rides , biking trips and walking tours with Furkot.
Select one of the buttons representing the mode of travel and Furkot will recalculate your trip adding automatic overnight stops to your route where necessary. Walking and biking modes work best with shorter trips.
You can combine various modes of travel in one trip: for example you can drive most of the trip and plan hikes or bike rides in the middle of it. You can change the travel mode for a trip leg in the Plan drawer. In addition to driving , riding , biking and walking you can select other mode of travel for the trip leg to cover anything you like: ferry, train, plane, flying saucer; you are in charge of route shape and timing.
One-way or round trip
You can convert any trip to a round trip by changing the trip trajectory from one-way to loop back to the starting point. It's not like we want you to drive in circles: think about it in terms of getting back home on time.
Round trips differ from one-way trips: their first stop is the same as the last stop. Furkot routes you back to your starting point, calculates the distances and times and schedules overnight stops if necessary.
All Furkot planning features work for round trips. You can reorder stops, delete them or temporarily skip them. If you are renting a car we configure your pick-up and drop-off locations to be the same in case of round trips.
And if you decide you want to stay on vacation forever you can always convert the round trip back to the one-way trip. All it takes is one click.
Dates and times
Real trips need realistic dates. If you are not certain, pick approximate dates - you can change them later. With realistic dates you'll know right away if the trip fits your schedule and whether you are going to visit this special place you always wanted to see on a crowded Sunday afternoon or a calm Tuesday morning. Furkot will use Begin Trip and End Trip dates and times to warn you when your trip plan exceeds allotted time.
The Start a Day and End a Day times determine automatically scheduled overnight stops. You set the defaults for the entire trip, but you can modify them independently for each day that you intend to start or end at a different time.
If you configure your Start a Day time to be later than your End a Day time Furkot will assume that you want to drive overnight - for example leaving at 8pm and arriving at 7am. If you set Start a Day and End a Day time to the same value you are telling Furkot that you want to drive non-stop: Furkot will not schedule any overnight stops in that case.
You can also constrain your days by setting Travel Time and Daily Mileage limits either for the entire trip or independently for each day.
While each stop can have a different duration, there is usually one typical length of time common to majority of them. Depending on the trip it may be 5 minutes to take on each overlook or 2 hours to visit a museum. It may also be 0 if most of the stops you add are pass-through points that anchor the preferred route. You can set your typical stop visit duration as a Stopover setting.
Lodging preferences
Your lodging preferences determine the suggestions that Furkot makes when automatically scheduling overnight stops: independent hotels and motels , hotel and motel chains , campgrounds , vacation rentals, bed-and-breakfasts, apartments and private rooms , hostels , blind deals . If you deselect all lodging options to indicate that you are staying with friends and family Furkot won't make any suggestions. It will still divide your trip into days placing overnight stops according to your Start a Day and End a Day times, Travel Time and Daily Mileage limits.
Furkot can help you collect rewards by prioritizing lodgings at your preferred booking services and chains. Select the services you like and they'll show at the top of the Sleep drawer.
If you are traveling with four legs companions switch on the option to prioritize hotels that accommodate pets.
Your lodging accommodation preferences also determine the default content of the Sleep drawer and its selection of available overnight lodging places.
To help Furkot suggest hotels better, let us know what's more important: low price or high rating of the possible lodging.
When you decide on a lodging accommodation, Furkot will facilitate booking by transferring your trip data to the booking site of your choice. When we fill out the dates we can also pass the required number of rooms and number of persons per room according to your lodging settings.
You can set the currency used to display prices of lodging accommodations. Whenever possible Furkot will request booking quotes in your preferred currency. Furkot will convert prices if booking service does not support the currency you select.
Keep in mind that in some cases your currency setting is used merely for informational purposes. The actual booking may be conducted in a different currency set by the lodging owner or by the booking site.
When setting currency you can choose from several popular options or configure any currency by providing its 3-letter code.
The currency setting is also used for all establishments and attractions for which Furkot displays pricing information.
Trip sharing
You can share your trip by inviting your friends to plan together, asking for suggestions or publishing a snapshot of your trip (tripshot). Furkot displays the current state of sharing in the Trip drawer. This is where you can modify the level of access to your trip.
Furkot displays the nicknames of your friends who have already accepted your invitations. You can also see all the pending invitations here. The pending invitations have an expiration date.
Click the delete button to disinvite others from your trip. Once you remove them, they won't be able see or modify your trip any longer. Use the edit button to switch between view-only and full access to the trip. And finally you can click the owner button to transfer trip ownership from yourself to another person.
Refueling schedule
If you drive a car or ride a motorcycle, Furkot can automatically schedule stops to top off your tank. Configure your vehicle range and switch the refueling option on. Scheduling refueling stops automatically is an exclusive benefit offered to Furkot Pass holders.
Configure the time it typically takes you to fill up a tank and Furkot will apply it whenever it adds a refueling stop.
In addition to refueling regularly, some motorists make it a habit to fill up in the morning - right after leaving the lodging - or in the evening - before turning in. That may help avoid taking a break during the day to search for a gas station, especially when traveling in the sparsely populated area. Furkot can accommodate this routine and schedule refueling stops accordingly: select the sunrise button to fill-up when leaving in the morning or the sunset button to fill-up before stopping for the night.
When scheduling refueling stops Furkot will take into consideration any fuel stops that has been added manually and designated as a gas station . If your refueling stops are too closely together, Furkot will warn you when there is more than half tank left at a given refueling stop. You can switch off this type of warning for the trip.
Make sure to check additional tips on how to use Furkot to avoid running out of gas.
Fuel type
Select the proper fuel type for your vehicle to let Furkot find the best refueling stations for you. In addition to gasoline , Furkot recognizes diesel fuel , ethanol-free gas (in United States and Canada courtesy of pure-gas.org) and charging stations for electric cars.
For further fine tuning you can select one or more preferred fuel brand and Furkot will try to find a station within the network when available. This option comes handy when you have a reward card - Furkot can help you maximize the savings on fuel on your trip. Selecting fuel brands is an exclusive benefit offered to Furkot Pass holders.
Personal travel speed
We don't all drive at the same speed. Or walk, or bike for that matter. Nonetheless, when calculating travel time Furkot assumes certain average speed that depends on the road type and local speed limits, but doesn't account for differences among individual travelers.
To accommodate those differences Furkot provides My Speed settings both in the Trip drawer for the entire trip and in the Plan drawer for a selected route. It allows you to influence calculation of travel time according to your preferences. You can adjust your speed either by setting it to a fixed value in miles (or kilometers) per hour, or by specifying how much faster or slower than average you are.
If you notice that you tend to arrive at your destination after (or before) arrival time calculated by Furkot enter the percentage that corresponds to the difference.
Similarly, if you are planning a hike in the difficult terrain changing My Speed to your average hiking speed might give you a better idea of timing.
In addition to changing speed for the entire trip you can adjust the speed for each trip leg separately selecting one of the legs of your itinerary in the Plan drawer.
In most cases you don't need to worry about the My Speed field - leave it blank to let Furkot calculate the speed. But if your trip is not typical, as many great trips tend to be, you have an option to make your itinerary more precise.
Road preferences
When you travel by motorized vehicle (that is: when you choose car or motorcycle travel mode), you can tell Furkot whether you want to take or avoid highways and toll roads.
In addition to setting preferences for the entire trip you can adjust the road preferences for each trip leg separately selecting one of the legs of your itinerary in the Plan drawer.
Unit and option selectors
Would you rather drive 50 miles or 80 kilometers? Do you know that Celsius scale originally represented freezing point as 100 and boiling point as 0? Military time or civilian AM/PM clock? Whatever you prefer you are always just one click away from having Furkot display your favorite units.
You can also let Furkot warn you to avoid potentially crowded attractions on weekends.
Furkot uses your browser language settings to decide how to display dates and time. If dates look different from what you are used to, check if your country language is properly selected. For example, if your primary language is English, make sure that the local variant (English Australia, English UK, or just generic English) is placed above English US. All modern browsers allow for configuring several languages ordered according to your preference: here's how to do that in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
Offline access
Furkot can show your trips on mobile devices - phones and tablets - without Internet connection. All you need to do it open Furkot on your device and it will store all your ongoing and future trips locally for offline viewing. Any past trip that you open will be also stored.
If your device has limited storage you can selectively switch off the Access this trip without Internet connection option and the trip won't be stored on your device.
In addition to the trip itinerary Furkot can locally store a map to use when offline. Due to licensing restrictions only the road map based on community-driven OpenStreetMap data can be stored for offline use.
Besides storing a visible portion of the map you can request the entire map corresponding to your trip itinerary: on the device you intend to use without the Internet connection, click the Sync Map button and Furkot will start downloading the map.
Caching the entire map for the trip without viewing it first is a feature available exclusively to Furkot Pass holders.
Setup Furkot on your mobile device to take advantage of offline access when traveling.
Car rental
If you need wheels for your next road trip adventure, Furkot will fill out the dates, attempt to locate the pick-up and drop-off locations and send you to a car rental service to complete the reservation.
Flight booking
It would be great, if one could just drive everywhere. But that's not realistic. There are islands, other continents, or just places beyond I can drive there and back during my vacation radius and sometimes one needs a little air lift to jump-start the real adventure.
Furkot helps you find a flight between your home and the start of your trip.
There is a field to enter your home airport. Or you can let Furkot geolocate you by clicking the home icon. And then click the listed service button to search for flights. Since we know when you plan your trip Furkot will fill out the arrival and departure dates.

Terranea is quickly becoming one of my favorite places in Southern California. Not only is it a true destination resort complete with a nine hole golf course, but it also has a wide restaurant selection from a casual burger spot to an upscale restaurant serving California inspired cuisine.
During our most recent visit, we dined at Mar'sel, the upscale restaurant on the resort. Unless it's raining, there's no reason not to sit outside and enjoy the amazing view and sea breeze. There were plenty of heaters on the patio to keep us warm. One of my fondest memories from the evening was sipping on a glass of champagne and watching the vibrant sunset over the ocean. Onto the food...
Crispy pigs ear
The pigs ears were fried to golden perfection served with a tangy house sauce and light pickled vegetable salad. The crunchiness from the batter was a nice contrast to the juicy melt in our mouth pigs ears. The acidity from the sauce and the salad helped cut the richness of the pigs ears. It was a well balanced appetizer.
Pork cheek
The slow braised pork cheek was served over barley risotto, a beautifully poached egg and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds. The pork was fork tender and the poached egg added a wonderful creaminess to the dish. We ordered this as an appetizer to share, but I would be happy to order it as an entree next time.
Mediterranean branzino
The branzino was beautifully presented with bright contrasting colors that popped on the plate. All the components respected the delicate flavor of the fish by not overpowering it. The brown butter gave the lean fish richness and the pomegranate seeds added bursts of sweetness and acidity.
Baked orecchiette
This was the heavy hitter of the evening. A generous serving of baked orecchiette loaded with spicy pork sausage, tomatoes and house ricotta. In true Italian fashion, it was finished off with parmesan. The best way to sum up this dish is: bold, flavorful, and filling.
We finished our meal with complementary cannolis, black coffee and an amazing view of the moon lit ocean. From the service, to the food, to the atmosphere, everything was spot on. This was a great escape from the often loud and cramped restaurants in the city and we didn't have to compromise on the quality of food. Definitely a great spot for a romantic getaway.

On another note, it's been ages since I've painted anything this directly in photoshop-I highly reccomend it...no filters, gradients, or masks..just one layer and your favorite brush. Just like in the good old days, except without the toxic chemicals.
On an yet another unrelated note, I seem to have acquired the power to conjure Lee Van Cleef at will, so I have that going for me too, which is nice. I hope this power comes in handy some day.

The personal injury case with the "Motion for Counsel to Get New Shoes" that I blogged about Friday ended in a mistrial, setting aside what apparently would been a $2.2 million plaintiff's verdict. So, essentially, filing this silly motion may have cost his injured client $2.2 million.
The writer who wrote the original column provides a well written background of his dealing with the lawyers in the case before publishing the story. I don't know whether this column is accurate. Either way, it does not convey a very good image of personal injury lawyers.

After providing an outline of the contents of this book, the chapter considers recent history relevant to the debate on women in science. It discusses the evidence-based grounds for a biologically based argument in a number of the essays in this volume. The chapter describes the need for this volume. The essays in this volume show that the pattern of sex differences is much more nuanced than their depiction in the popular media (e.g., male=right brain; female=left brain).
Society is becoming increasingly scientific, technological, and knowledge-based, depending on the utilization and maximization of human talent and potential (Friedman, 2005). A nation's strength, both economically and civically, is now linked to what it can call forth from the minds of its citizens. Consequently, much attention is being focused on strategies for increasing the number of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals produced in the United States and possible untapped pools of talent.
There are interesting differences between the average male and female mind. In using the word average, I am from the outset recognizing that such differences may have little to say about individuals. In addition, the differences are subtle and are to do with the relative proportions of different drives in the typical male and female mind. The field of sex differences in psychology in the 1960s and 1970s was so conflict-ridden as to make an open-minded debate about any potential role of biology contributing to psychological sex differences impossible.
Work preferences, life values, and personal views of top math/science graduate students (275 men, 255 women) were assessed at ages 25 and 35 years. In Study 1, analyses of work preferences revealed developmental changes and gender differences in priorities: Some gender differences increased over time and increased more among parents than among childless participants, seemingly because the mothers' priorities changed.
Reviews the book, Religion and the Mind of To-day by Joseph A. Leighton. The author believes that, under the guidance of the special sciences, a new civilization is coming into being and that a reconstruction or intellectual recasting of our inherited religion and social ethics to guide and inspire this civilization is imperative. Professor Leighton here undertakes this recasting and places the essential teachings of Christianity in the setting of modern scientific thought and problems.
