Planetfall: Starships and Surfing
Erwer, Narquel 23, 01023
I sighed and leaned back in my chair. I half-debated turning my attention to my study of Sumerian poetry, a subject I had developed a half-hearted interest in since reading about cameral psychology and primitive cultures, but after teaching linear programming for three hours I was really not in the mood to try and wrap my brain around a culture whose thought patterns were as alien to me as an AI's. Perhaps even moreso.
I grabbed my PADD off the desk and examined my upcoming schedule. I wondered where Aaden and P'nyssa were right now, and the schedule only showed Aaden in a meeting on the garden deck and P'nyssa would be working in sickbay for another six hours, dispensing pills and making sure that the crew would survive to see tomorrow.
That didn't help. I debated looking someone up; there were plenty of people on board who I could call on to cuddle with, I suppose, but I really wanted to just have some fun.
"Oh, Lance, is there anything happening on board at this hour?"
"The swimming pool has just become crowded."
"Any particular reason?"
"Probability," Lance replied.
In other words, by coincidence a lot of people had decided to go swimming that day. "What the Hell," I said. "I'll join them." I grabbed a towel from my bathroom and wandered down the hallway to the SDisk. "Recreation and Health," I said.
Blip I found myself in another long hallway in another part of the ship. I was still in the habit of walking around the ship myself and had become used to the layout of the ship, but I knew many people whose internal maps of the ship consisted of a SDisk and all the points conveniently reachable by it, and then a simple, linear list of SDisks on board. It was a very functional method, but in an emergency it could get people in trouble. I preferred to know my way around. In my head I knew where I was relative to the bridge, the engines, and the hull.
I walked through a revolving door into a room full of screaming adolescents and lounging adults, and sometimes it was hard to tell the one from the other. There were also two dolphins swimming leisurely in the pool. I decided that I was here to swim, not sit around and watch other people, so shucking my clothes and folding them into a neat pile under one of the many tables scattered about the tiled deck, I dove into the pool.
"What have we here?" said a voice behind me as I came back up for air.
"Kumakatta!" I said, surprised to hear the voice of an old acquaintance. Kumakatta was a femDolphin I'd met some years back while flying a trip to llerkin. I turned around and, sure enough, it was she. "Do you mean to tell me you've been slinking around in here for the past nine months and I've not known?"
"Well," she clicked at me, "you know how it is. Two thousand people on board, you could never get to know every one of them. And while you're not exactly a recluse, Ken, I come here every day and never see you." She smiled that distinct, dolphin smile. "You've been too busy with your dry friends. Surprising, too. I never thought of you as a particularly dry person."
I chuckled. "I guess I've been busy, Kuma. Besides, why didn't you just look me up? Drop me mail? There were a hundred things you could have done for us to get together."
"Oh, you know." She turned in the water slowly, a gesture of embarrassment. "You're a busy man."
"Not too busy for a surf-buddy," I grinned, running one hand along her flank playfully. "I'd've at least known to come down here more often."
She clicked her laughing acceptance. "I'll remember that. No surf in here, though."
"No, I guess not."
"On the other hand, I don't have to wear one of those suits or use a BCA just to go swimming, or pretend to go swimming." I chuckled knowingly. "So what are you doing these days?"
"I'm playing JOT."
"Yes," she hissed softly. "You always were good at that. So what are you jotting now?"
"Teaching," I said. "I think I'm going to hang onto it. I like hanging out with the young kids, watching their minds bloom. Do you have any kids, Kumy?"
"Not with me. I understand you brought your children with you, but to be honest, as a Fen, I didn't think it would be kind of me to bring any with me. Pendor has great oceans we Fen will never fill, but space, especially in ships made mostly for you landed kinds, is no place for someone not fully grown." She stopped and swished around me in the pool. "Ken, have I said something wrong?"
I shook my head. "No, no. Sometimes I feel regret for creating creatures that cannot share fully in the joys the rest of us have."
"You mean like the joys of swimming through the sea at forty kilometers per hour, leaping into the sky, moving whole mountains underwater and sleeping under the stars in peace with seccors to keep the sharks away?"
I chuckled. "Well put."
She gave a triple-click that I recognized as a "Hmph." "You people put on powered armor and walk around and throw buildings left and right. I put on whole starships and swim around stars."
I found myself enjoying her company. I dove under the water and headed for the bottom; she slipped around me, her fins and bodymass caressing against me. As I headed back to the surface, I wondered about that. I broke surface and said, "Kumy? Come here?"
"Yaaah?" she said.
"Was that a pass?"
"A friendly touch could be interpreted as that, yes."
"You never did that on llerkin."
"That wasn't me. That was just a BCA I drove around."
"I take it you don't do VR."
Not unless I know for sure that it's making the starship I drive around really sling around that star!" She dove down into the water. Splashing to my right attracted my attention; a crowd of children was diving in. I dove downwards, where she met me. I grabbed her fin and she pulled me towards the deep end, where I let go and headed up. Someone dived over my head. "This place is filling up more than before," I pointed out.
"Yeah," she murred. "And I've been in here too long. I think my skin is starting to scale."
I ran my hand along her flank. "Feels just as smooth and sexy to me."
She laughed again. "You flatter me. Would you like to come back to my room and help me wash this water off with something more appropriate?"
"Are we really going to do this?"
"You seemed quite interested in me back on llerkin."
"That was a long time ago. It's not that I've lost interest in you, Kumy; it's just that I seem to be going through a phase where casual screwing around appeals to me a little less."
"Come back to my room anyway," she said, tossing her head in the direction of the exit. While I lay in the water with her a series of nine black spheres came floating through the air. Three took up positions above her while the others dipped to the water line. She rose out of the water and into the air, shaking her body vigorously just to keep from dripping all over the starship. Actually, the hoverspheres would prevent most of that anyway. "Coming?"
"Okay, okay," I grinned. I stepped out and grabbed my towels, waving to some of the kids who were calling my name. I followed her out and up a short passageway to her room. "You're right off the recreation area?"
"Access to water," Kumakatta replied. "But I actually prefer my own room. Be warned, Ken, the gravity is different in my room" She opened to room and I realized what she was talking about. About a meter from the door stood a wall of water that, from my usual perspective, stretched from wall to wall and floor to ceiling.
"Ah," I said. I decided that the only way to easily handle a ninety-degree shift in gravity as well as immersion in water was to dive for it. So I did. My ears didn't even have a chance to complain at the change in direction as I hit the water and spun around, heading for the surface. Confusion was minimal.
She dove in behind me, then surfaced next to me as the door shut. "You didn't have to do that, Ken, there's a transition platform at the door."
"Worked better this way," I said. "But with this layout, you didn't need me to come wash you off."
"No," she agreed, chuckling. "I just wanted to get you alone again." She sidled up against me gently. "Just for old time's sake."
I slid my hands along her slick sides, caressing her down the length of her huge body. A female dolphin outmasses me almost by a factor of two and only the three-dimensional access granted by her watery environment made me feel comfortable maneuvering around her.
Despite the writings of nearly a dozen science-fiction writers prior to Pendor and Earth's meeting, sentient dolphins do not think or are even necessarily proficient at haiku. But some practice it just out of a sense of tradition. They do have their own language of clicks and whistles, and in some cases it is overly rife with analogy, which sometimes makes haiku a useful tool and almost all of them are receptive to it.
"So often at war,\ Seeing beauty like yours, are\ Temptation and pride!"
She rolled over, clucking slowly. "It's a shame that there are humans out there who do that so well when I can't even do it all. Are you trying to say you're too proud to sleep with me?"
I swam over to her and caressed her flank slowly. "No, I'm trying to say that I don't know how I'd feel about myself if I slept with you so casually," I sighed. "You're a dear fem, Kumy, but I didn't know you so well then, I don't know you well now, and I really am not sure about where into my, well, my life I would fit you right now."
"Isn't that what you're doing?"
"Doing what?"
"Fitting me into your life? Right now. It's all I would really like from you, Ken, is to finish the flirting we started so many years ago." She flicked her tail to come face to face with me. "All I want is for you to make me come."
I grinned and slid my hand along her flank. "Is that all?"
An easy flick of the tail and she pressed her skin against me, knocking me over slightly. "That's all," she replied. "There's a submerged platform over there where you can stop treading water."
"Thanks," I said, diving down and swimming for it. I found it; the water came up just to my chest here as she circled around me. My hands slid along the powerful dorsal ridge, sliding up over her fin and back along her tail, then back up. I felt the slightly puffy ridge of her vaginal slit, pressing my fingers up into and caressing the first three centimeters or so of it where the nerves were most dense and most likely excite her.
"Yaaahh…" she cooed softly. "I like that."
"If I could find someone to do this for me every day, I'd love it."
"Hands aren't good enough?" I asked, referring to the robotic manipulators many Dolphins used. My fingers slid around gently. I have to admit that I was getting a bit of an erection, and chills traveled up my spine from the combination of the cool water and the moist, hot inside of her cunt.
"Nah… too hard. Not as much fun. Too predictable. Besides, they're not friendly. I like spectators and participants."
I chuckled and slid a third finger into her cunny. She slapped her tail against the water and chirred her pleasure. "Do you have a mouthpiece?"
"Yes. Cabinet in the corner."
I stretched for it, got it open, and grabbed the small black cylinder, placing it between my teeth. "There," I said around the silicone, "Now I can see what I'm doing." I dove beneath the water and looked up. My eyes adjusted to the change in refraction easily, although they felt peculiar with the added pressure of the nanochine reshaping the lenses. I backed up a little, stroking her flanks and underbelly before sliding my fingers back into cunny.
Through the water, her pleasant chittering reached me even more clearly, and I enjoyed the sensation. My erection returned as she shivered and wriggled. I reached up with my feet and wrapped my legs around her tail, relying on her buoyancy to keep her blowhole above the water level. She didn't object.
I grabbed a dorsal fin with my hand and carefully positioned myself so my cock was pressed to her slit, then with the other hand aimed. I pulled myself in with my legs.
I had almost forgotten how tight Dolpins are. The males are generally smaller than their land-based relatives and that's reflected in the shape of the females' vagina. Also the angle is very different, heading up towards the belly at an angle. I had to think before settling into a rhythm that worked for both of us. At least, it worked for me, and from the tremors I felt running through her body, it was working for her. I could feel her flesh quivering with little shocks of pleasure as I fucked her sweet body. She was only slightly warmer than the surrounding water, but it was enough to be different. Pulses of deep sound emanated from within her and sank through my body, ricocheted off the walls of her cabin and bounced off us again.
I breathed hard through the rebreathing cylinder, clenching my teeth to hold it in place. My wrists were starting to hurt from holding on for so long and bucking against her body when she began bucking against me. Her tail went wild, forcing me to hold on even more tightly as she began tossing back and forth. Somewhere in all this I came, my pleasure almost blotted out by my struggle to hold on as she came. I don't know if it was a lot of different orgasms or one long one, but it seemed to last over a minute.
As I slid out of her, she rolled away from me in the water onto her back, wriggling curiously. "You're lovely," I said.
"You weren't bad yourself, Ken," she chirped after righting herself. "Thank you. I didn't expect you to try to fuck me; most of the mels I sneak in here aren't quite so daring."
"Daring is something I can manage occasionally," I laughed, wiping the mouthpiece off and placing it back in the cabinet. I patted her side. "Thank you, Kumy. That was actually a nice way to spend the evening."
"You're welcome. Shall we go back to the pool?"
"I just want to get some more exercise." She kicked down into the pool and into another room, then returned a few minutes later. "Now that I've had my fix of pleasure."
I shook my head, smiling. "If this planet has waves…"
"Then you're going surfing with me!"
"Its a deal."

One of the pictures that we rightly have of God is that of a patient God, waiting for people to come to repentance. I say, "Rightly," because we have many passages of Scripture that speak of the patience of God, waiting for sinners to respond. 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord ... is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." Paul said that, "the kindness [and forbearance and patience of God] ... is meant to lead you to repentance" (Romans 2:4).
God, himself, has said that he is "slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love" (Exodus 34:6). This exact phrase ("slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love") is repeated verbatim in several Psalms (Psalm 86:15; 103:8; 145:8). Several prophets also repeat it (Nehemiah 9:7; Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2).
This is to say nothing of the more than 200 times that the Bible uses the word, hesed, which is translated, "steadfast love" in the ESV or "lovingkindness" in the NASB. This word describes the covenant faithfulness of God to his people, bearing patiently through their times of disobedience. This is to say nothing of the hundreds of times in Scripture when God is described as being merciful and gracious and loving.
Indeed, our God is a patient God. He patiently waits for us to turn to him in repentance. And yet, we can easily fall into error if this is the only picture that we have of God, of the all-loving, kind, Santa Claus in the sky, waiting passively upon his creatures to turn from their sin. Because, there is a time when the patience of God will run its course. Moses writes in Exodus 34:6-7, ...
Exodus 34:6-7
"The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation."
There is a time when the judgment begins. There are times when God gives up on people, allowing them to walk in their sin. My message this morning is entitled, "When God Gives Up." It comes from Romans 1:24-32. As I read, I want for you to listen for God giving up on people.
Romans 1:24-32
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
I trust that you can see the repetition in the text. I trust that you can see how I derived the title of my message this morning: "When God Gives Up" (Romans 1:24-32).
Now, before we actually begin looking at the text this morning, let's notice the first word of verse 24. It's a "therefore." In other words, this is the fitting conclusion to what Paul said before. So, what did Paul say before? He said that God has made himself known. Verses 19 and 20, ...
Romans 1:19-20
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
He has made himself known through creation. He has made his power known to all (verse 20). He has made his deity known to all (verse 20). He has made it plain to all (verse 19). He has made it clear to all (verse 20). The result is that they are "without excuse" (verse 20). Everyone knows that there is a God. Everyone knows that he is the all powerful one.
Paul also said that People have rejected God. Verse 21, ...
Romans 1:21-23
For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Rather than honoring the Lord as God, they took glory for themselves.
Rather than giving thanks to the Lord, they have taken everything for granted. Rather
than submitting to the wisdom of God, they became fools.
Rather than submitting to God, they exchanged him for their own gods.
And God is angry. Verse 18, ...
Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
They know God, but they have suppressed the knowledge. And they have pursued their sin. And so, God's wrath is upon them all. So, God gave them up (verse 24). And God gave them up (verse 26). And God gave them up (verse 28). He gave them up to sin and all its fruits. God's wrath is the consequence of sin.
Those who reject the Lord are like a German Shepherd on a leash. They struggle and tug against the leash, because they want something. They want their sin. They know it's wrong. They know that they shouldn't do it. But they want it. And they can't control themselves.
And it is only God's grip that holds them back. You might well call this, "common grace"--the grace of God that keeps us from pursuing all of our lusts and our passions and our desires.
At this point, I want for you to keep this picture in your mind. This is the plight of mankind. God is at our back. We want our sin. But the grace of God is holding us and keeping us and protecting us.
Picture the German Shepherd on his leash, but tugging after a squirrel. We have the picture of a harmless squirrel. But suppose that the squirrel runs into a busy street. Or suppose that the squirrel jumps onto a tree overlooking a huge canyon. Or suppose that the squirrel is really a lion in disguise. In that case, the owner is really protecting the dog from harm. This is what God does in our lives. He protects us and holds us back from hurting ourselves too badly.
But this isn't how many think of our situation today. Many think that there are many ways to God, and that all of us are on a spiritual quest to find him. But as Paul concludes his argument which we will read in Romans 3:10, ...
Romans 3:10
as it is written:
"None is righteous, no, not one;
no one understands;
No one seeks for God."
And if that's the case, how then are we saved? We are only saved when something changes. We are only saved when God works. We are only saved when God shows mercy and exerts his control over the wayward sinner, and brings us to himself. We will get to that. We will get to Romans 9:15, "I will have mercy upon whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
But, at some point (as Paul says in our text this morning), God does let go of some. "He "gives them over" (verse 24, 26, 28). And they pursue their sin. And they continue to pursue their sin. And they continue and continue. Perhaps this imagery helps to give context to the hymn-writer's famous words, ...
O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
Rather than striving against God, the believer in Jesus Christ cries out to him, "O God, don't let me go. Hold me tight. Let me rest in you."
We read in John 10, ...
John 10:27-28
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
Or think of the hymn How Firm a Foundation, ...
Fear not, I am with thee,
O be not dismayed
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid
I'll strengthen thee, help thee,
And cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand
"Amazing Grace" reminds us that it is, "Grace [that] has brought me save the far, and Grace will lead me home." And as we progress through Romans, we will see this theme of the love of God that keeps and guards and protects.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Let's get into the text. When God Gives Up, He
1. Gives over to impurity (verses 24-25)
Look at verse 24, ...
Romans 1:24
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
Notice here that when God gives people over to their sin, he merely lets them do as they please God gives them up to the desires of their own hearts. He says "If that's what you want, then have at it." And they begin to do things that ought not to be done. And they dishonor their bodies.
The drunkard makes a fool of himself, and damages his liver. The drug addict loses weight, and loses his job, and begins to steal to support his habit. The meth addict deals with sores and scabs. The promiscuous deals with sexually transmitted diseases. The porn industry takes that which is beautiful and transforms it into pure ugliness. And notice in verse 25, again, how Paul puts forth an argument that shows how entirely justified God is in letting go of the leash.
Romans 1:25
because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
Here's what takes place. People know the truth. And they hate the truth. They want their sin instead. And so, they exchange the truth of God for a lie. And so, they go and serve the creature and not the Creator!
This is our culture. We have removed God. We have exchanged him for man. And now, man is supreme, and not God. This is what we call secular humanism. It's the removal of God. It's the elevation of man to the top spot.
And people say that the Bible isn't relevant! This is 21st century America. We have loved our own wisdom, and not the wisdom of God. We have dethroned God.
Now, again, I want for you to notice. This isn't what we have done and God is angry with us. This is what God has let us do. This is the wrath of God to live in a society without God, to live in a society where we do our own thing.
Let's move on. When God Gives Up, He
2. Gives over to homosexuality (verses 26-27)
Look there in verse 26, ...
Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
When God created the world, he created man in his own image. "Male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27). And God put them together and declared, "A man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24).
What we see here in verses 26 and 27 is perversion of the created order. Rather than a man and a woman living in harmony and unity as God designed in the garden, we see men and women forsaking the created order. We see women pursuing women. We see men pursuing men. And we see this in our society today. It's nothing new in the ancient world. Homosexuality has been brewing in our society for quite some time.
As a part of my preparation for preaching each week, I often listen to five to ten messages on my passage. I listen to Kent Hughes, who preached through the book in the 80's (more than 30 years ago). I listen to Rich Kerns, who preached through the book in the 90's (more than 20 years ago). And both of them brought out the change in our society toward the homosexual agenda. And how more and more, our society was being pushed in this direction. Groups and legislation and school curriculum and books and advertisements and movies and constitutional amendments have all been aimed at normalizing the homosexual lifestyle. And the campaign has been successful.
And after a long battle, it all came to a head about a year ago on June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled in the Obergefell decision that state-level bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. And the laws of our land are described in verses 26 and 27.
Romans 1:26-27
... For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another,
Some try to deny this behavior as a sin. Did you notice how God describes this behavior? He called these "dishonorable passions" (verse 26). He called them "shameless acts" (verse 27). He says that those who practice these things receive "in themselves the due penalty for their error" (verse 27). I have no doubt that HIV is a judgment of God upon those engaged in this behavior.
I hope that you notice here in Romans 1 that God isn't angry with the sin of our country because of our legalization of same-sex marriage. Rather, same-sex marriage is the judgment of God upon our land. And we need to deal with it in right ways. This behavior is all around us. It is coming closer and closer all the time.
Our family went to a football game on Friday evening And right before us were a few high-school students, girls, who were putting some of this behavior on display. It was "dishonorable" (verse 26). It was "shameful" (verse 27). And we need to deal with it.
Let's move on. When God Gives Up, He
3. Gives over to iniquity (verses 28-32)
Verse 28, ...
Romans 1:28
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
Notice yet another detail of what takes place when God gives people over to their sin. There is a lot going on in the mind. When people don't acknowledge God (Romans 1:19-20), he lets their mind go where it wants to go. Isn't it amazing here that God has control over our minds. It's not merely our bodies that God lets go. When God is holding back the leash, it's not merely physical danger that he is keeping us from. It is our minds also. God has a leash holding back our minds to travel into all sin.
But when God lets go of the mind, it's not pretty. And with our sinful natures, it doesn't go to a good place. In fact, it goes to a sinful, wicked place. We read of these sins in verses 29-31, a whole litany of them. Twenty-one of them to be exact. And here they begin to hit home. It's easy for us to look at the sins of verses 24-27, and say, "That's what others are doing. That's not me." But here, we see sins that are us.
And hopefully, you can see the complexity of Romans 1. Though I have emphasized over and over again that these sins are the wrath of God upon us today, it's not that simple. It's not that there are sins only reserved for those whom God lets go in their sin that others don't commit. Because these sins are committed by those who know and believe in the Lord Jesus. These are sins that we all are guilty of. And they aren't signs that God is through with people. In other words, don't go out and look for these sins and think that those who commit these sins have no hope
And realizing this ought to help give us compassion to the homosexual world. It ought to help us reach out to those entrapped in their sin. Because there is hope. Homosexuality isn't only God's judgment upon sin. It can also be the sin of believers.
Romans 1:29-31
They were filled with all manner of (1) unrighteousness, (2) evil, (3) covetousness, (4) malice. They are full of (5) envy, (6) murder, (7) strife, (8) deceit, (9) maliciousness. They are (10) gossips, (11) slanderers, (12) haters of God, (13) insolent, (14) haughty, (15) boastful, (16) inventors of evil, (17) disobedient to parents, (18) foolish, (19) faithless, (20) heartless, (21) ruthless.
Let's consider what each of these sins could be referring to, ...
(1) Unrighteousness - Wickedness
(2) Evil - Doing wrong
(3) Covetousness - The craving for more and more
(4) Malice - General badness
(5) Envy - Despising those who have something that you want
(6) Murder - Fueled by hate and envy, as well as the actual killing of another
(7) Strife - Fighting and quarrelling
(8) Deceit - Trickery
(9) Maliciousness - The desire to harm others
(10) Gossips - Won't say it in public, but will gladly whisper in the ear
(11) Slanderers - Saying harmful things in public
(12) Haters of God - There is no explanation needed
(13) Insolent - Lack of respect
(14) Haughty - Thinking only of themselves
(15) Boastful - Bragging to others of their own successes
(16) Inventors of Evil - Thinking up new ways to sin
(17) Disobedient to Parents - Despising those in authority over them
(18) Foolish - Lacking understanding, stupid
(19) Faithless - Not to be trusted
(20) Heartless - Without natural affection
(21) Ruthless - Cruel people.
And verse 32 tells it about as straight as can be.
Romans 1:32
Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
This is what happens when God gives up on people. He gives them every opportunity, but they don't want anything to do with God. And so he lets them go. And they pursue their sin, and seek recruits to join them. May we heed the counsel in Proverbs, ...
Proverbs 1:10
If sinners entice you, do not consent.

Amazing body-work, from someone who knows! While on a ski vacation in Park City, I scheduled a class and then a Thai Massage at Yoga Kula Project. I've had a lot of body work done and when you travel and try someone new, you never know what you're going to get. My Thai Massage with Trudee was absolutely excellent. If you've never had this kind of massage before, you have to know what you're getting into. You don't lie on a table naked while someone massages you. With Thai, you wear comfortable, stretchy clothes (like for yoga) and you lie on a comfy, cushioned mat on the floor. There is some participation on the part of the recipient, but not much. For example, sometimes you hold her wrist as she holds you and gently pulls you into a satisfying stretch while applying pressure to your muscles with her foot. It is heavenly and the perfect kind of massage if you're skiing because there is so much stretch incorporated into the massage. Trudee even perceived that I needed some lymphatic drainage work and incorporated that into my treatment. She was right! I will absolutely come back on my next trip to Park City! Thanks, Trudee!
Trip Advisor Review on 2/21/19
The Yoga + Hot Pilates class after a day of skiing was PERFECT! I did the Yoga+Hot Pilates class at Westgate on a Tuesday morning where Trudee was the instructor. I absolutely loved the class and it was just what my body craved after a day of skiing. For me, it was the perfect combination of yoga poses, Pilates, and some HIIT. I really liked the heated room as it felt wonderful on my muscles. I found Trudee to be an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable, and she even had a sense of humor which I always find refreshing. I hope to return to Park City again in the future where I will definitely take more of her classes. Thanks for the great experience Trudee!
Amy C 2/20/19
I attended Trudee's yoga/hot Pilates class while visiting Park City! She is positive, encouraging, and will challenge your core with varying positions! I highly recommend this class if you want to sweat, detoxify, get your heart rate up, and be inspired!
Julie G 1/20/19
Westgate Canyons Owner: Visit Westgate Park city annually for family ski trip. Always schedule with trudy at yoga Kula for personal thai massage and friends have attended her yoga classes. Very experienced and great personal attention. Can't wait to go back every year.
Vielka K 1/19/19
This is the place to go! Whereas most people come to Canyons for skiing, I am indulging myself in hot Pilates, yoga, Thai yoga massage and other wondrous combinations at Yoga Kula Project. This has been my Utah haven for the past 8 years of annual December visits from Manhattan.
Between my many travels (where I always seek out yoga classes) and my home in the heart of Greenwich Village (where if you throw a rock you hit a yoga studio), I have to say that Trudee (owner and teacher) has established a top-notch studio that is practical, spiritual, beginner- and advanced-friendly…not easy to do! She is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy, yoga, Pilates and meditation, and just a gem of a person.
I only wish I could spend more time there…or bring her back with me!
Gess G 8/10/18
Just have to say what a wonderful find this was!! My husband and son went fishing and I was looking for a yoga studio. After a yelp search I came across Yoga Kula and found Trudee! She's a great instructor. Such a laid back friendly environment. Easy to find and the "local crew" were very welcoming. Definitely HOT Pilates but it felt like a true detox for one hour. Thank you Trudee, I look forward to our next visit so I can come practice with you all again.
Jordan H 4/21/18
Amazing! Great instructors and services offered by this establishment. If you want exceptional services with amazing customer service then this is a place for you. Trudee is so knowledgeable and helpful. I will only be going to Yoga Kula Project moving forward.
Esther K 1/9/18
This wonderful little yoga studio really made my trip to Park City Utah! Whilst my family enjoyed the slopes I was able to really enjoy the classes offered by Yoga Kula Project. Thank you so much for your care and attention to detail, your wonderful style and music and relaxing environment. I recommend this yoga studio with all of my heart.
Review on March 2017: Last week I was in a morning Bikram yoga class at the Canyons. We have been staying at the Canyons every year for the past 16 years, first as 2 young people dating, then as a newly married couple, and now as parents to 2 girls, ages 2 and 6. I always enjoy that one day break from skiing when I start with a yoga class. I wish I could fit in a bit more when I'm there. It's always amazing. I learn and hear new things, and ways of approaching my yoga. Perhaps better planning next year.
The teacher that day, I think it may have been Trudee, gave me some wonderful advice about using tennis balls to break down knots in my lower back. I wanted to thank you and say I have been following orders and have some relief already. I will continue to use the tennis ball method and hope to be camelling and rabitting a lot better next year.
Namaste! Karen

Yoga Like Your HOME: I was on my second trip to Park City early this month for a ski trip with friends, and I practice Bikram actively, so I am always looking for a location to continue my workouts. Yoga Kula Project is wonderful. It's my home away from home. This is my second year using the studio, and I love it. Trudy, the owner, is knowledgeable and welcoming. Her diverse classes cover the needs for all who practice any form of Yoga, Pilates or Boot Camp. And the fact that she alters the Apres Ski classes toward a hard day after the mountain is fabulous. Yoga Kula Project is a must, if you are into physical fitness or if you just want to stretch. What I thought was wonderful about her classes was that couples practiced together. Honestly, Trudy's classes make even the first timer feel welcomed, stretched and not lost.
Yoga Kula Project is a great deal for the money. She has mats and towels for a dollar each, and if you are staying for awhile and want to partake in daily classes (you will she really stretches and teaches you), then call her beforehand and she will create a package so that you only pay once. Classes are $18 with a mat or $17 without. Yoga Kula Project is a find!!! It's the kinda place that you would want as your main studio. And Trudy is the instructor you always wanted. Kudos to her for creating my AwayYoga Studio that is HOME!!! See you next year Trudy and Thanks.

My college girlfriends have a yearly getaway – as busy moms, working professionals, and as we try to maintain any sort of "balance" in our lives, we strive to meet yearly to rejuvenate. Yoga has become a big part of this yearly tradition. This year we had Trudee meet us at our house for private instruction.
Some of us take yoga regularly. Many of us do not. Trudee was wonderful! She was an expert instructor; very soothing; very calm; gave us a great 60 minute yoga workout. Two of us were pregnant and she discussed the modifications we needed to make (and should expect to make over the next few months). We had a great yoga session, and as a bonus, learned a bit about Ayurveda as well! This ancient Indian healing practice was very insightful and helped not only enhance our yoga session, but helped provide some insight into our lives and personality as well.
Trudee was very professional – very responsive to our inquiries and in booking the session. I would highly recommend her for private lessons, or I am sure she does a great job leading a studio class.
There are people who come into your life and leave an impression that is impossible to erase. Their wisdom, compassion and insight touch your soul so deeply that they become part of you. They are not necessarily famous or known by anyone other than you. It's just that what they give to your heart; you then in turn give to others. Who has left this positive impression on you???
Trudee…she has.
Come and experience it for yourself.
I was on your website and I agree with everything Barney said and more….. I realized after my 1st class how excited I was to have you put into my life. You are amazing I am excited to start my journey into the world of "Bikram" with you. I love when the universe puts a neon light that is so bright you can't ignore it and have nothing but gratitude because of it. You sister were put in my life for a reason now I get to spend endless hours sweating my ass off to find out. How much fun is that? As selfish as I am I will be bringing a friend with me on Saturday who I know will love you and your studio just as much as I do! See ya tomorrow night at 530! I hope you have a great day.
Denise Twombly October 10, 2011
Hi Trudee,
I would like to share with everyone what a great experience Yoga Kula Project is and what a fabulous teacher Trudee is. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging, allowing all ability levels to reach their full potential, while conducting a fun and engaging class. I encourage all yoga ability levels to try a class with Trudee, as you will come back again and again. And the spa afterwards is a nice treat too!
Yoga Kula Project is a great place to do and enhance ones yoga practice. Trudee is a skilled instructor, adaptable to those practicing that time. She remembers you if it's been awhile since you last were there and make everyone feel welcome regardless of skill level. Trudee is excellent at helping injury recovery and from burnout. 8 months ago I found Yoga Kula Project. Now, I find it very hard to go elsewhere to practice. Trudee is skilled at bringing other great instructors in to the studio, which entices one to keep coming again and again. For example, today Tuesday 4/1/14 the first Tuesday of the month Chris, a master at leading a good practice, will do the 5:30 pm class. Also, Joie, Janet, Anna, Heather and other guest instructors make for a well balanced studio. Yoga Kula Project the best. Practice at Yoga kula Project 3 times in a week and you will feel better physically mentally and spiritually.

TANNA - Aid began arriving in some of cyclone-hit Vanuatu's worst affected islands Wednesday but others remain isolated, with flights over the Pacific nation showing desperate villagers spelling out the letter "H" for help.
Relief agencies are battling logistical challenges in the sprawling archipelago with a lack of landing strips and deep water ports hampering their efforts to reach distant islands and get a better grip on the full scale of the disaster.
Vanuatu Prime Minister Joe Natuman, who travelled to hard-hit Tanna island on Wednesday on a New Zealand C-130 Hercules, said "it'll be at least a week or two" before the full impact of Severe Tropical Cyclone Pam is known.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs revised its death toll down to 11 from 24 but said it was expected to rise, while the Vanuatu government puts the toll at seven.
Aid groups continued to paint a bleak picture, warning of large-scale property destruction and shortages of food and clean water.
"The yams are rotting in the mud. There's no more bananas, fruit, anything. Pam took everything," said Philemon Mansale, the head of a large family from Mele village outside the capital Port Vila on the main island of Efate.
The southern islands of Tanna and Erromango bore the full brunt of the cyclone when it barreled in late Friday, and Oxfam, the UN and CARE Australia said assessments showed widespread devastation with entire villages destroyed.
"In Tanna at Lenakel, the provincial capital, 70 per cent of houses are damaged," CARE's Tom Perry told AFP from Port Vila.
The whole township of Waesisi on Tanna's northeast coast was "inundated with water... and 100 per cent damaged".
An AFP photographer on Tanna said the land was stripped bare of coconut trees, wells were swamped by landslides and doctors at the island's hospital worked on patients while wading through mud-covered floors.
"I've never seen nothing like it, just the noise and the destruction," said Australian tourist Andrew Brooks, who felt the cyclone's fury as he sheltered in a makeshift evacuation centre in a school on Tanna.
Wind was screaming
"You could see the wind - it was white with rain and debris. It was horizontal. The wind was screaming, trees were crashing and sheets of tin and debris were flying. People were cowering. It pretty much lasted all day like that." Reconnaissance flights by military aircraft from Australia and France "found severe and widespread damage across the larger islands of Tanna, Erromango and Efate," the UN said, but less damage on the nation's smaller southern islands.
Aid teams reached Tanna, home to 30,000 people, on Tuesday and at least seven tonnes of supplies from organisations such as the Red Cross and the New Zealand military arrived Wednesday, including medical supplies, sanitation kits, tarpaulins, and chainsaws.
A ferry full of aid was expected Thursday as the humanitarian response moves up a gear while coconut oil producer COPSL offered its six, 60-tonne Vanuatu-based vessels to help distribute supplies to other islands.
Benjamin Shing, from Vanuatu President Baldwin Lonsdale's office, said aid was due to reach smaller islands in the central province of Shefa on Thursday, while communications were being restored around the nation.
Many of the archipelago's 80 islands remain cut off and Oxfam country director in Port Vila Colin Collett van Rooyen said flights over some of them saw people signalling for help.
"The aerial assessments of Ambryn island reported large white 'Hs' marked out on the ground by people signalling for help, and on Tongoa island people holding up mirrors also signalling for help," he said.
While the death toll was revised down, he said real concerns remained about disease with water contaminated, sanitation equipment destroyed and an increasing lack of food.
A BBC team reached the small island of Moso in the northwest and reported that people had resorted to drinking harmful saltwater, with outside help yet to arrive. Drinking saltwater can lead to dehydration and death.
Despite the challenging circumstances, many Vanuatuans remain optimistic, living up to their resilient reputation.
"We feel sad. But we (neighbours) always sit together, and that makes me happy," said Lida Chilia, a villager from Mele on how she and her friends were coping.

Swivel chairs are normal in practically any office or business foundation for the solace and adaptability it conveys to the client. Aside from its strength and ergonomic properties, a swivel chair enables specialists to perform every day errands and capacities in more easily and serenely. A swiveling chair can make a 360-degree turn and is furnished with casters to permit development.
Obviously, swivel chair bases are the center of these progressive chairs. They bolster the heaviness of the individual sitting on the chair. The base is fitted with components that enable the client to change the chair's profundity and stature, just as push the chair starting with one point then onto the next and turn it around at whatever point required.
It is along these lines made out of a few sections, which can be supplanted in the shocking occasion that they get broken. Now and again, you would need to supplant the whole base. There are two essential kinds of swivel chair bases: the manual and the gas type. Contingent upon the kind of your chair, makers offer new parts for the two sorts. Manual swivel bases have certain impediments contrasted with the more present day gas type bases. It furnishes soundness yet accompanies a fixed stature, ruling out alteration. It only serves to help.
Then again, gas type swivel chair bases are progressively adaptable and are frantic of increasingly complex components. Underneath the seat, a dimension can be changed in accordance with lower or elevate the seat to fit the client's tallness. Whenever squeezed, this switch discharges air from an uncommonly planned chamber, pushing up the chair unreservedly. Discharging the switch while putting your weight on the chair drives it down until you the chair is brought down to your ideal profundity. The two gas and manual swivel chair bases are accessible in various shapes, measurements, styles, and material utilized. They are fitted with fluctuating quantities of legs, to which casters could conceivably be joined.

How to convert multiple images into a PDF file in Windows 10
PDF is definitely one of the most popular file formats. We use PDF files to create ebooks, manuals, and even picture galleries. Creating a PDF file is fairly easy in Windows 10, but in this article, we're not going to talk about creating a regular PDF file.
As we mentioned, you can create an image gallery in PDF out of your regular images, for easier sharing, or simply more practical storing. Unlike some other actions, like taking a PDF screenshot, or creating a custom Live Tile, that are not possible with Windows 10's built-in features, Microsoft's latest operating system actually has the ability to transform multiple images into a single PDF file.
Creating a PDF file from your images is perhaps the most useful if you want to club all your scanned documents together. So, we assume you'll mainly use Windows 10's PDF-creating option for that purpose.
So, if you want to create PDF image galleries, Windows 10 has all you need. We also have to mention that this feature is only available in Windows 10, so if you want to create a PDF image gallery in Windows 8.1 or Windows 7, you'll have to use a third-party program for that. You can use a third-party program in Windows 10, as well, if you don't like the default option, it's all up to you.
How to create PDF image galleries in Windows 10
Here's exactly what you need to do to make a PDF file out of your images:
- First thing first, make sure all your images are placed in a folder, and opened in the File Explorer. That way you'll be able to use the printing option, as it's not available on Desktop
- Now, select all the images you want to turn into a PDF file, right-click the first one, and choose Print
- When the window pops up, select Microsoft Print to PDF printer
- From this window, you can also choose paper size, quality of images, and see a preview of each image. Once you're done with all settings, just hit Print
- Select a folder where you want to save your PDF file
- Wait for the wizard to finish the process
There you go, now you just need to open the PDF file, and all your images will be stored there. As you can see, the process is pretty easy and straightforward. You can use the Microsoft Print to PDF printer to combine as many images into PDF as you want.

Using the Microsoft Print to PDF printer is very effective, you just saw that, however it might not appear for all users by default. So, in case you can't find the Microsoft Print to PDF printer under the list of available printers, you'll have to enable it by yourself.
Here's how to do that:
- Repeat the first two steps from above, in order to open the printing wizard
- Under Printers, select Install Printer…
- Now, instead of waiting for the wizard to find a printer, click on Printer I want isn't listed
- On the Add Printer dialog box, click the Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings option and click Next
- Make sure Use an existing port is selected, and choose FILE: (Print to File) from the dropdown menu
- Now, under Manufacturer choose Microsoft, and under Printers choose Microsoft Print to PDF
- If the printer is already installed on your computer, just choose the Use the driver that is currently installed (recommended) option
- Leave the name as Microsoft Print to PDF, which is set by default
- On the next window, select Set as the default printer
- Click Next, and wait for the installer to finish
There you go, after installing the Microsoft Print to PDF printer, you'll be able to normally create PDF files from images, like we've shown you above.
Since this tutorial is solely for Windows 10, it won't work on older versions of the system, like we mentioned at the beginning of this article. To perform this action in Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, we recommend downloading and installing doPDF. Once you install this utility, perform the process as shown above, but this time use the doPDF printer, instead of Microsoft's Print to PDF printer.

Angeboten für: GBP 500'000
Vintage and Prestige are proud to offer this 1903 Thornycroft 20HP 4 Cylinder Double Phaeton For Sale.
Registration: AA 575
Chassis no: BZ 14
Engine no: BZ 14
This incredible motor car comes to us with the finest of histories having been owned by Mr Tom Thornycroft (one of the companies founders) up until 1957, and has had only 4 owners from new!
Mr John Brown purchased the car in 1957, he then sold the car to Mr John Carter but must have missed this incredible machine dearly as he purchased her back.
The current owners have been the custodians since 1987 and can be credited for the immaculate condition you see her in today. They have kindly sent a detailed list of the work carried out under their ownership:
Full nut and bolt restoration, including full stripping of body from chassis
Engine and gearbox removed.
Engine fully stripped.
All parts crack tested.
Crankshaft reground.
New white metal bearings made for big ends and mains.
Cylinder blocks re-bored and new pistons manufactured.
New primary gears manufactured for distributor drive.
Inlet induction valves reconditioned.
Carburettor overhauled.
Clutch fully reconditioned (fluid type) including new drive plates.
Gearbox stripped and where applicable new gears manufactured, new type oil seals fitted and all new bearings.
Propshaft remanufactured to include stronger U couplings.
Rear axle stripped and new bearing fitted including new type seals.
New outboard brake shoes manufactured to increase stopping aid.
Rear springs re-tensioned with extra leaf fitted.
Suspension stops introduced to balance rear.
Water coolant tank restored and fitted to chassis under rear floor, special cover with tool for access added.
Side steps and floorboards recovered.
All body work stripped and where necessary woodwork replaced.
All leather replaced with Connolly.
Body fully prepped and painted including hand coachlines.
Wheels fully restored, painted and lined.
Rear storage case added to rear with retaining brackets.
All lamps re finished.
A starter motor has been manufactured solely for this vehicle, and is operated by a discreet switch.
Fully enclosed side screen system made.
This Thornycroft has been maintained perfectly and has a 100% completion record for the London to Brighton Classic Car Run.
The appearance of this beautiful brass car truly does take some beating, every part of the car has its own character or flare, it would certainly be a challenge to improve the look. The paintwork is finished to an extremely high standard in red; there is a yellow coachline all around the car, which helps to highlight the shape of this Double Phaeton Coachwork. The rear section of the coachwork is completely original to the car and like so many was taken off in winter months and stored, the front section has been rebuilt to the exact original design to restore her to the former glory.
The closer you look the more detail you notice; the Thornycroft step plates, the discreet spare wheel, the 5 stage rear wings, it goes on and on. The look with the pram hood up is exceptional and easily operated by one person. There is also a side screen system that completely encloses the car and allows for almost dry motoring. The Connolly leather is buttoned to the backs and finished to the highest of standards, this certainly is a driveable car but finished to a concours standard!
Once you finish looking around the exterior details, you finally get to the engine. 2.5 litres, 4 cylinders and 3 gears, this is a capable car. Having completed the Brighton run on many occasions with 6 people on board, you can gently breeze past the lesser cylinder cars (no names mentioned) who are all jumping out to push on Burgess hill. The operation is simple, a tickle of the carburettor, a flick of the ignition system and she is ready to go; in the early morning when you are full of energy you can turn her over on the handle and feel her fire up straight away, however later in the day when you are feeling slightly more lethargic, a discreet finger on the hidden button will bring her to life instantly and you will not even here the starter working.
This vehicle truly is an incredible is a piece of driveable history, in our showroom and ready for viewing.

Anglers call for a live-release recreational UK bluefin tuna fishery
- Atlantic bluefin tuna are an iconic gamefish. Growing to over 500kgs and with great strength, speed and stamina, they are one of the most sought-after gamefish on the planet, second only perhaps to blue marlin.
- Use of the recreational angling sector to help deliver research programmes is already taking place in Sweden and Denmark, including in those part funded by the WWF.
- A substantial bluefin tuna live release fishery exists in Canada, where studies show that its economic value is six times per tonne greater than that of a traditional commercial fishery.
- A study in 2012 by the Ecology Action Centre estimated that recreational charter revenues alone created a value of $100,000 per tonne versus the landed value from commercial fishermen of $17,000. This was before additional revenue generation related to the charter industry was assessed, i.e. Hotels, restaurants, fuel, bait, tackle etc.

Survivor Gives Message of Hope
The Pope Francis Forum for Dialogue and Diversity recently hosted Holocaust survivor Robbie Waisman, who spoke to the SJCS community as well as the community at large about his experiences in the Buchenwald concentration camp as a young boy. Mr. Waisman, who came to the Upstate from Canada, talked about the horrific experience of losing his family as well as his motivation for being an advocate for those facing insurmountable challenges. His testimony centered around the integrity of the human spirit and maintaining hope in seemingly hopeless situations. The evening event, which was shot as part of a documentary, seated a full house in the St. John Paul II Center. Mr. Waisman also graciously took the time to sign autographs and tell stories to his guests before his talk began.

When enterprises think of possibilities of cloud migration, then security has to be the foremost issue that needs to be addressed. They first need to understand the data and the services that have to be shifted to the cloud and the type of cloud security cover it needs. There are risks associated with digitization, public networks, and outsourcing of system and its infrastructure that have to be identified. With lack of knowledge, enterprises try to apply the same tools and levels of security to the cloud as their internal resources. The organizations must remove the myth that cloud systems are insecure and proactively team up with their cloud service providers to share cloud security responsibility for adding that extra security layer to the data on the cloud.
When enterprises deal with IT security issues, then confidentiality, privacy, integrity, availability, authenticity, liability and accountability form the basis of it. However, the same tools and techniques cannot be applied to the cloud system since they have different requirements
Responsibility for any given cloud model rests both on the clients as well as the service providers. All the tasks are aptly shared, for example, the cloud provider is responsible for the Application Program Interface (API) security and auditing while access management has to be looked after by the enterprise. But identity management and privileged user management has to be a shared cloud security responsibility. The control level user can take up security measures for access management, identity management and privileged identity management.
The controlled data must have the basic security measures in place so that there is no unauthorized access to it. Some of the basic measures are:
SaaS environment runs on shared responsibility. Here the cloud services provide the application to the user and the user in turn controls the data. Hence, it is utmost necessary that certain security measures have to be applied those of which are as following:
The cloud provider has to develop and operate apps and deliver it to customers in SaaS model applications. A high-level security for cloud services can be rendered through secure application development and operation which will include application code scanning, application security management and vulnerability detection features. The security feature should encompass the following basic measures like:
For proper cloud security management, it is crucial that roles are defined about who controls the various components of cloud infrastructure. At the end of the day, both the cloud service providers and the users need to keep the data safe on the cloud and hence it can be said that Cloud Security Responsibility is a coordinated team effort.
Cloud technology is indeed a boon for enterprises if they tackle the Cloud Security Responsibility wisely. If both the cloud service providers and the corporate entities jointly share the cloud security responsibilities, then chances of data breaches are almost zero.

Misano Race One
Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) had his Superpole snatched away in the closing seconds of Superpole, but that mattered little to the reigning champion by the time Race One rolled around.
A fantastic start from the Kawasaki rider shot him ahead of Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) at the lights, and with an open track ahead, Rea proved to be unbeatable once again.
There was a stunning battle for the podium however as Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) and Eugene Laverty (Milwaukee Aprilia) completed the podium in the 21 lap race.
Rea was the only rider to make it into the 1'34s at the start of the race, opening a comfortable gap with the large group of pursuers. There was plenty movement behind inside the opening laps, with Laverty and Davies, who had blasted up the field at the lights from seventh on the grid, making quick work of Sykes, while Michael van der Mark (Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team) also put his name in contention for a rostrum spot with a stunning start from eleventh.
With Rea flying away into the distance, Davies finally managed to catch the Aprilia by lap 16. Laverty went very wide going into Turn 16, a mistake that Davies welcomed going through the straight. It's the Welshman's third consecutive second position and yet another solid ride this season.
While his teammate's Aprila RSV4 RF suffered from performance issues in the final third of the race, there were no such problems for Laverty, who takes his second consecutive podium. After four years without a WorldSBK top three finish, this time it has only taken the Irish rider two weeks to claim a return to the rostrum.
Van der Mark completed an excellent Race One with fourth position, less than five seconds off of Rea despite his row four start, and making it four manufacturers in the four top spots. He crossed the line ahead of Sykes and will start from pole tomorrow, with the Englishman only able to make it through in fifth after starting from the front of the grid.
Xavi Fores (Barni Racing Team), in special 'tricolore' livery for the Misano race, was the best independent rider in Race One, making his way to the line in sixth, ahead of the home duo of Marco Melandri (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) in seventh and Lorenzo Savadori (Milwaukee Aprilia) in eighth.
Leon Camier (Red Bull Honda World Superbike Team) returned to the top ten after a disappointing GEICO US Round with ninth place on Saturday. Leandro Mercado (Orelac Racing Verdnatura) meanwhile scored only his fourth top ten finish of the season, coming in behind the Honda in tenth. Alex Lowes (Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team), who was until today the sole rider to score points in every race of 2018, crashed twice and was unable to finish.
A new 125/70 front tyre, developed by Pirelli to match their larger 200/65 rear made its first ever appearance at Misano. Despite never even being tested by the riders until the first sessions on Friday the new wider front proved popular straight away and was the most used choice today in race one, including the entire top ten.
P1 – Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK)
"We had good pace all weekend and the idea was to try and make a holeshot and then set my rhythm. I got a good start and I was able to put my bike in a good position in turn one and then make my rhythm from there. It was kind of a textbook race and in the first three laps with the bigger profile tyres, especially the rear tyre, it just kind of takes a few laps to find its rhythm. Once I found that I was able to increase the gap lap-after-lap. That made the last seven laps more stress free. My bike was quite balanced all the way through and I did not feel I was riding over the limit at all."
P2 – Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati)
"We have to be happy with this result, it wasn't easy coming back from 7th position on the grid. I feel like we got the best out of the package and myself today. The Panigale R was working well, we need just to make a few more steps forward to win, so overall it's been a positive day. During the race I really understood the bike and got a clear idea of what we need to do to improve. We'll try to make the most of the data collected and come back even stronger for Race 2. We'll start from third row again, but I'm kind of used to it and today we got a blistering start, so hopefully we'll be able to repeat that."
P3 – Eugene Laverty (Milwaukee Aprilia)
"Its nice to back a Laguna podium up, to get the podium here as well as the front row; I was feeling so good in the middle of that race, I was reeling in Jonny, but we had a rear sensor break and that cost me, and cost me second as well, but a few rounds ago I'd have bitten your hand off for a podium so we'll take that."

Caricasulo takes home pole position at Misano
Home hero Caricasulo stuns his home crowd with a determined pole position
Federico Caricasulo (GRT Yamaha Official WorldSSP Team) has taken his first pole position of the 2018 FIM Supersport World Championship after a stunning fastest lap of 1'37.694. The Italian was nearly half a second faster than Jules Cluzel (NRT) in second, and will be in a prime place to claim his first win of the year.
After dominating through Friday and Saturday morning, Caricasulo was again incredibly impressive in qualifying. Three of his laps were faster than the best from anyone else out on track, and with a good start the Italian could bounce back from his Brno DNF in perfect fashion and find himself again in the fight for the championship.
Jules Cluzel clinched another front row start with the second fastest time of Superpole 2. The good news didn't end there for the Frenchman, as Sandro Cortese (Kallio Racing) could only end the session in fifth. A crash just two minutes in left the German with little time to find his form on the Rimini track, and with Cluzel two points behind in the standings, is in danger of losing his championship lead.
Randy Krummenacher (BARDAHL Evan Bros. WorldSSP Team) was third in qualifying, completing an all-Yamaha front row and boosting his options towards a first return to the rostrum since Assen. Raffaele De Rosa (MV Agusta Reparto Corse by Vamag) was just six thousandths of a second behind the Swiss star, but had to make do with fourth ahead of Sunday.
With Cortese in fifth, that row two will be completed by Lucas Mahias (GRT Yamaha Official WorldSSP Team) in sixth. The Frenchman had finally found his pace going into his final lap of Misano, but a mistake in the third split took away any option from Mahias of finishing higher up.
One event rider Stefano Valtulini (Pleo Racing Team) was the first Kawasaki in qualifying, clinching a fantastic seventh on tomorrow's grid ahead of Kyle Smith (CIA Landlord Insurance Honda) in eighth and Hikari Okubo (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing), through from the Superpole 1, in ninth. Anthony West (EAB antwest Racing), a former Misano race winner, closes off the top ten.
WorldSSP Superpole at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli 2018
1. Federico Caricasulo (GRT Yamaha Official WorldSSP Team)
2. Jules Cluzel (NRT) +0.491
3.Randy Krummenacher (BARDHAL Evans Bros. WorldSSP Team) +0.804
Hendra Pratama unstoppable in Misano Superpole
Galang Hendra Pratama has taken his second successive Tissot Superpole of the season at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, blasting ahead of his rivals in utterly dominant fashion. The Indonesian teenager rode his best lap of 1'50.517 halfway through the Superpole 2 session, which was at the time well over a second faster than anyone else out on track.
Day two of the Pirelli Riviera di Rimini Round for the WorldSSP300 riders started in shocking fashion, as the top three in the championship failed to make it through the Superpole 1. Ana Carrasco had not qualified lower than fourth this season, but finds herself down in 17th tomorrow, with Luca Grunwald in eighteenth, and Borja Sánchez in twentieth.
Scott Deroue (Motoport Kawasaki), fourth in the championship, was the big victor from his title rivals' troubles, taking second place on tomorrow's grid. Deroue was the only rider to trouble Hendra Pratama's times at any moment, and will be searching for his first win of the season.
Returning from injury, Mika Pérez found his way onto the front row with the third fastest time on Saturday. Dorren Loureiro leads row two in fourth, ahead of Manuel González in fifth and wildcard Thomas Brianti in sixth.
Row three sees Luca Bernardi in seventh, Daniel Valle in eighth, and Ukranian rider Nick Kalinin in ninth, with wildcard Kevin Sabatucci , back in WorldSSP300 after his Imola podium, closing the top ten.
Tom Edwards qualified 1.3-seconds off the pole winner in 26th while Tom Toparis will line up 31st on the grid after lapping 2.3-seconds off the pole time.
WorldSSP300 Superpole – Misano 2018
1. Galang Hendra Pratama (BIBLION YAMAHA MOTOXRACING)
2. Scott Deroue (Motoport Kawasaki) +0.344

Secrets To Packing For A European Vacation
The time is almost upon us when many people head east into Europe for their summer vacation from here in the United Kingdom. We love to travel over, or under, the channel and experience the way of life over there. Europe is a big place, however, and packing for a tour presents problems thanks to the variation in climate and culture.
If you are thinking of heading off for a tour soon, there will be some tips here to help you pack to perfection so that you have the confidence to experience everything that Europe has to offer. Here are my top tips for packing ready for your 2014 holiday.
The most common thing people forget to pack is their medication. Even though they may have used it on the morning before setting off, it is automatically put it back in the medicine cupboard without a second thought.
Remember to pack:
- Pills
- Ointments
- Inhalers
- Injections
And anything else you need to use on a regular basis. Medicines will be allowed in hand luggage if you are flying, but a doctor's certificate will be required to carry hypodermic needles, in the case of diabetics, for example.
The choice of clothing is dictated by the places you are to visit. If you intend to head off into the Swiss Alps, then it is only logical that you pack very warm clothes and heavy coats. This takes up a lot of room, however, and many people choose to buy this clothing while they are visiting over there to save carrying it. If you intend to hit the ski slopes, thermal underwear doesn't take up a lot of room in your bags, so you may consider this.
If some of the happening cosmopolitan cities are on your itinerary, then stylish, top quality clothing will be needed. Men's luxury leather items never go out of style, and they will stand the test of time when fashions change.
A high quality suit is bound to come in useful as you attend evening functions, and maybe rub shoulders with the rich and famous. Tailored suits stand out from the off the shelf variety, and even those who are not educated in style can tell the difference. A sharp dressed man stands out from the crowd; there is even a song about it.
Everyone loves shoes, but they are a nightmare to pack because there are so many styles, materials, and colours. You probably have a wardrobe full at home, but you can't take them all. What do you do? Well the best way is to accept the fact that you will need to spend money in whatever country you visit, and buy appropriate footwear. Only pack a couple of comfortable pairs of shoes to take with you. It will drive you insane if you try to cater for every occasion that you may encounter out there.
Don't forget your toothbrush and any other products that you need for personal grooming. People with delicate or dry skin may need special treatments after a bath or shower, that may not be readily available in shops on the continent. Little things like this can make or break a holiday as the affect your personal comfort. If you do not feel good, it will affect your experience.
By following my advice, you will be able to relax in the knowledge that you have packed perfectly. Don't forget to send me a postcard!

|Scheduled Login Puts LogMeOnce Users in Control of Password Management, Making Them Elusive to Cyberattack Intruders
Add greater security by scheduling your next login. With LogMeOnce scheduled login, hackers canNOT guess your next login interval.
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 12, 2018 — LogMeOnce, the distinctive market leader in passwordless authentication, unveiled today the LogMeOnce Scheduled Login, an innovative, patent-pending security application designed to help consumers and businesses protect their passwords and security credentials, and manage against cyberattacks. Scheduled Login adds a new security layer, by enabling users to prebook and schedule their next login, and thus tighten the authentication window. Every login request outside of the prescheduled login window is flagged as high risk and blocked—there's no way for a hacker to know your login time.
To develop this feature, LogMeOnce tapped social science theories on unpredictability. In daily life, the theory goes, emotional inconsistency and unpredictability make people feel less control over outcomes. The people who create such unpredictably have the advantage—emotional inconsistency means their opposing party cannot predict behavior. With scheduled login, you have the advantage by being unpredictable.
"Patent-pending Scheduled Login is extremely unique as it adds protection to every product, application, operating system, and market in the world," says Kevin Shahbazi, CEO of LogMeOnce. "Until now, to log out of a product, we could only click on 'log out,' without an inherent security module. With this important invention, you have an option to prebook your next login with an embedded security layer. LogMeOnce Scheduled Login will revolutionize secure authentication for ages to come."
When LogMeOnce users schedule their login time, hackers willNOT realize your accounts are closed for business—but you know exactly when to check in! Hackers canNOT guess your next login interval when you activate unPredictable© access time. It could be 30 minutes from now or two days away. Your login window shifts, making you a moving, impenetrable target. More importantly, login attempts outside your selected time are blocked. Such attempts are flagged as high risk—there's no way for a hacker to know your login time.
Interested parties are welcome to take advantage of the LogMeOnce partner program and OEM licensing. As a "zero-knowledge" technology company, LogMeOnce does not know a user's encryption key or actual passwords. With LogmeOnce, you are the only one who has absolute knowledge of your actual password and encryption key—only you can decrypt your account.
About LogMeOnce:
Founded in 2010, the award-winning LogMeOnce confidently helps consumers and businesses protect their passwords, identity, and data. LogMeOnce rose to popularity with its feature-rich password management platform, and then with its patented PhotoLogin technology that gave users the choice of logging in with a password-less selfie. LogMeOnce innovations include a wide range of products, productivity solutions, and cryptographic and e-security applications. LogMeOnce industry distinctions include over 48 additional unrivaled products such as patent-pending Password SHOCK©, Mugshot, Scheduled Login, Account Freeze, Password Dialer, Kill-Pill, Anti-Theft, and Live Password Tracker. Additionally, LogMeOnce Drive helps to extend security and encryption to cloud storage applications such as Dropbox, iCloud, and more. As serial entrepreneurs, the LogMeOnce management team has founded and scaled up to global brand status multiple startups, with successful exits and acquisitions, such as the acquisition by security industry leaders McAfee and Intel Corp. in 2010.
LogMeOnce is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and serves the global market with an additional location in Barcelona, Spain. LogMeOnce markets and sells its solutions worldwide directly and through a variety of partners.
