Just before the crash, the driver, Norberto B. Perez of San Ysidro, shouted to the passengers that the brakes had failed and urged them to call emergency services, passengers said.
"If it didn't have brakes or did have brakes, it would leave different types of evidence," said Bob Snook, an accident consultant who recently retired from CHP after working on accident investigations for 25 years.
The investigations are "basically car autopsies, because they will go over that bus with a fine-toothed comb," Snook said.
Even skid marks need to be analyzed carefully to determine whether, for example, they were created by the bus trying to turn too quickly or braking hard, Snook said. Investigators found skid marks at the crash site.
A special six- or seven-member CHP investigation team is typically augmented by other specialists from the agency, whose expertise can range from roadway engineering to diesel mechanics, Snook said.
Government records showed the bus recorded 22 safety violations in inspections in the year ending in October, including brake, windshield and tire problems.
"They'll be very interested in prior contacts with this company, what prior violations they've had, which could be bad or extremely minor," Snook said. A violation can be a crack in the corner of a windshield all the way up to a broken wheel or axle falling off.
Chris Medwell, an expert in heavy vehicle accident reconstruction at Bloomberg Consulting in Gulf Breeze, Fla., said investigators typically focus on several issues when examine air brakes following a crash, including wear to parts and an adjustment device that compensates for wear. Filters on air compressors that feed the system can clog, and hoses can leak, among other mechanical problems.
But human error can also be at issue.
As the name implies, air brakes use pressurized air for stopping power, rather than the hydraulic fluid used in car brakes. Heavy weight in a vehicle, combined with an inexperienced driver in rugged terrain, can have risks.
"A lot of inexperienced drivers on long grade will pump the brakes. ... Descending mountain grades is a special skill," Medwell said. "You don't want to apply and release, and apply and release, to maintain a constant speed. That's what taxes the system."
Associated Press writer Julie Watson in San Diego contributed to this report.

My two passions are my work and surfing (not necessarily in that order!), but I definitely want to make time in my life for someone special and experience together all the great things San Diego and the world has to offer. I really enjoy dining out, anything from a hole-in-the-wall joint to fine dining. Day trips around SoCal are great, too. I'm also planning to do some more international as it's been a while and I want to go on surf trip somewhere tropical. I was in London this Oct, though, on business and saw the city, which was amazing. I'm looking for the fairy tale: someone who is down to earth, has a positive outlook on life, is confident, and comfortable with who she is. About me: I'm a gentleman first, considerate to a fault, humble, striving and trying to make the world a better, healthier place via my work.

La Jolla, Encinitas, Torrey Pines State Park, OC, especially Laguna Beach, which is beautiful. Other countries: Singapore, Hong Kong, Chile, Sweden, Canada, UAE, and the Philippines were all fun. I want to check out Nicaragua next.

This year's unusually long and rocky flu season would be nothing compared to the pandemic that could occur if bird flu became highly contagious among humans, which is why UCLA researchers and their colleagues are creating new ways to predict where an outbreak could emerge.
"Using surveillance of influenza cases in humans and birds, we've come up with a technique to predict sites where these viruses could mix and generate a future pandemic," said lead author Trevon Fuller, a UCLA postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability's Center for Tropical Research.
The researchers' models revealed that coastal and central China and Egypt's Nile Delta are danger zones where bird flu could combine with human flu to create a virulent kind of super-flu. Governments can prioritize these zones and use the researchers' models to identify other hotspots for increased monitoring of flu in humans, livestock, poultry and wild birds. That could help detect a novel flu virus before it spreads worldwide, the researchers said.
The research paper, "Predicting Hotspots for Influenza Virus Reassortment," was published March 13 in the peer-reviewed public health journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Previous pandemics, such as the 1957 and 1968 influenzas that each killed more than a million people or the 2009 H1N1 swine flu outbreak that killed 280,000 worldwide, developed when viruses from humans and animals exchanged genes to create a new virus in a process called reassortment. Recent research using mice confirms that genes from bird flu and human flu can combine to create dangerous new flu strains. Swine, which are susceptible to both bird and human flu, could serve as a mixing vessel for reassortment between the two viruses.
"The mixing of genetic material between the seasonal human flu virus and bird flu can create novel virus strains that are more lethal than either of the original

What a difference a year-and-a-half can make. That was the view presented by NBC (NYSE: GE) Universal's research head Alan Wurtzel regarding the contrast in the number of mobile users accessing the network's Winter Olympics coverage. "We knew going into Vancouver that mobile would be ready for primetime," he said during a conference call with reporters on the research the company's gleaned half-way through the current games. "Not only is the growth huge, but it's mainstreaming."
Among the main stats:
— 11 million mobile visits in Vancouver in 11 days versus 8 million for the complete Beijing games.
— 55 million mobile pageviews for NBCU's Olympics coverage this time out versus 35 million total pageviews for Beijing.
— 1.4 million mobile video streams versus 300,000 for Beijing.
— 7 out of 10 users who are now employing mobile to watch the Olympics didn't use their phones to view the Beijing games.
"The difference is that just 18 months ago, the quality of the experience of watching mobile video was so poor. But now, one out of four handsets is a smartphone and the experience is greatly enhanced." In addition, Wurtzel credited the popularity of mobile apps for the increased mobile viewing. There have been 1.1 million mobile app users to date for the Olympics. Of course, NBC anticipated that mobile would perform better, and in return invested more heavily in the platform for the Vancouver games, by adding two iPhone apps, a smartphone version of the NBC Olympics mobile site, and new social media features.
Some other app-related stats:
— 60 percent of those who downloaded the Olympics app have rated it "very good."
— Mobile users are also more likely to use the app than the website. So far, two-thirds accessed the mobile Olympics coverage via the app.
— 67 percent of mobile users accessed the site and the app from their home, not on the go, as would have been assumed, Wurtzel said.

It started when I was 16 years old.New Years eve .While shooting fireworks in the street,my neighbor throws a bottle rocket.It shoots for the ground,bounces up,and hits me straight in the eye.I couldn't see anything for a few hours.After that,I couldn't see out of my left eye at all.After emergency room and Doctor visits,I was put on bed rest for 2 weeks with both eyes patched.I was bored to death,but had an old acoustic guitar that I never played cause I didn't know how.I had my mom hand me the guitar,and I started figuring out songs while the radio was on in my room.I learned 2 songs in no time and couldn't wait to get the patches off my eyes.When the 2 weeks were up,I could finally see what I was playing.I've been playing guitar ever since .Although I am partially blind in one eye.I'm not sure if I would be a guitarist if the accident didn't happen,but I'm kinda glad it did.If that makes any sense.I am self taught.I cannot read music,but I can figure out things in no time playing by ear.I've also taught myself to play bass guitar,drums,and some keyboards.I can sing,but I don't like the sound of my voice.It's pretty unique and that can be considered good or bad.I've played in many bands over the years.I write songs with lyrics and without.I am passionate about my work and hope to get bigger as an artist.I just have to cross paths with the right people.Enjoy the music.You will always find something new here~~~DiChiara "Sweet Fingers"

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 11/14/12
A great win for the Celtics. Obviously, Jazz fans weren't very pleased. Mostly their hate was directed at their own players - specifically one Mo Williams. Williams started going into hero mode at the end of the game, only problem is he's not LeBron James or Kobe Bryant. Or like, Paul Pierce even. That plan didn't turn out so well for Utah. Top three: 1. I think if we score more points than they do, we have a pretty good shot at winning. 2. Only a really stupid team would leave Paul Pierce wide open for three... three times in a row. 3. got 200 year old barbosa Play of the game: (Jeff Green posterizing Big Al) We are letting Jeff Green kill us. Jeff Green. The full slate: Whose ready to see Big Al become Kevin Garnetts ***** AGAIN?? Someone's gotta be the tough guy. Al's too big a vajayjay. Lets sick Kanter on him. I think this is another one of those games that the big line up can be effective. Pierce is slowing way down and Millsap can certainly bully him on both ends of ...

Originally written on Sox and Dawgs | Last updated 1/15/13
Portland, ME, January 15, 2013 – Kris Newbury scored two goals, and Cam Talbot made 29 saves, as the Connecticut Whale rolled to a 6-1 win over the Atlantic Division-leading Portland Pirates Tuesday night at the Cumberland County Civic Center. Portland had won eight straight home games, tying a franchise record, and 13 of its previous 15 overall. The Whale won despite being outshot 30-22, and scored two shorthanded goals. "I thought our 'D' played good, we made a good first pass and we didn't spend much time in our end," Newbury said. "(Talbot) played great for us again and we were able to get a couple of goals. "It's a lot easier when we're not playing as much in our end, holding on to the puck in theirs. I thought we did a great job from our D getting the puck through to the net, and we had guys in front tipping pucks, getting lots of traffic." The only goal of the first period was a shorthander by the Whale, and the second goal in three games for Kelsey Tessier

What Does Creativity Mean to You?
"What does creativity mean to you?" "How important is art in our lives?" "How do you celebrate art in your life?" We asked some of our Arts Week teachers these questions about art and creativity. Here's what they had to say.
Jane Davies, mixed media artist
"Making art is a path of personal growth, struggle, and discovery. It gives me the constant opportunity to let go of judgment, practice nonattachment, face my inner weaknesses with equanimity, and ultimately find my inner strength."
Jane Davies teaches Expressive Abstract Painting during Arts Week 2015.
Peter Gold, trapeze artist
"Each creative expression is truly unique, like a fingerprint or wave in the ocean. Art allows us to examine reality from different perspectives. As human beings on a path of spiritual evolution, it's only natural that we'd enjoy the variety of reality that art brings us."
Lian Zhen, painter
"A beautiful painting depicts the harmony between nature and imagination."
Carmen Mensink, Thangka artist
"Painting these enlightened images is like meditation, and for me this is the ideal combination of practicing art and Buddhism at the same time. With my teachings on this art, I hope to inspire people."
Carmen Mensink teaches Tibetan Thangka Drawing & Painting during Arts Week 2015.
Daniel Mack, rustic furniture artist
"Art is that struggle we all go through to make and re-make order in our lives. It's about hunting, finding, making, re-making, giving away, and starting again."
Daniel Mack is teaching Align Your Art With Your Life during Arts Week 2015.

Touratech Windscreen Spoiler for F800GS
View Single Post
Joined: May 2012
Location: Warsaw, Poland
Oddometer: 9
Maybe it would be useful for you considering the purchase of TTech spoiler for F800 gs. It did not worked for me and I think the issue is the hight of the rider. The product itself is very good and fits very good to the oem windshield. The result I got was less wind on chest (good) but much more wind on the top of my helmet and it was not a clear wind but turbulence / waves resulting with a strange noise inside my helmet (schubert C3) and head. The noise for me is very difficult to cope especially on longer rides (even with good earplugs). When I took off the spoiler and get back to standard oem there was more wind on my torso but it was much more smooth flow of air.
I am 180 cm high (so if think it is 5' 10''), inseam 80 cm (so 31'-32'), standard seat. When I hide a little bit behind the oem + spoiler the comfort was much more better (less noise and wind on helmet). So it maybe a cool cost-effective solution for those who have lower seat or who's hight is lower than around 180 cm. From the posts in this thread it looks like it maybe an option for people higher than 180 cm as probably the air flows differently over the helmet/neck. The 180 cm around hight seems to be a tricky one for that spoiler.
Hope my opinion would be useful and save you some $

Album Rating: 5.0oh man i love variations but i will admit it's a bit of a poor choice for a closer...almost
i just love how schizophrenic it is, how it goes from a little riff with some JUNZ and jazzy drumming in there to just full grindcore goodness....listening to it right now
I just love everything about this record
Album Rating: 5.0honestly that's probably it, just that it's a bad closer imo
i will admit that the transition into it from weekend sex change is sick as fuck, so jarring
Album Rating: 5.0i don't think this album really needs a flashy/unique/epic closer though, it's only goal is to beat you over the head and destroy your brain and it does that so fucking well with the songs it has
don't need no Man the Ramparts or Jane Doe
Album Rating: 4.5it took me a very long time to like this yes
with that said the running board is one of the best songs ever written
Digging: Avey Tare - Down There
Album Rating: 5.0HUSHBABYNOWDONTSAYAWORD
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah. I used to feel physically sick listening to this but it clicked eventually. : ]
Hm then I do hope this grows on me as it seems the same happened to you guys.
Listen to Axe to Fall (song) by Converge. That song is dissonant and chaotic as fuck but the ending of
the song compliments the rest. That is why I like Converge. They balance out everything so
Listening to this band, there isn't enough balance. It is too tense for me.
Album Rating: 5.0running board would be my fav if 43 didnt exist
Album Rating: 4.5rrrrrrrrrrrIIIIIIII SMELLL THAT WHOOOOOOORE
Album Rating: 4.5HUSHBABYNOWDONTSAYAWORD
that part is like 1 of 4 things in music that i'm incapable of listening to without freaking the fuck out lol
Album Rating: 5.0WUUUUH
Album Rating: 5.0is blow your brains out on live tv another of them kman
Album Rating: 4.5yes indeed
and castration rite
and concubine
Album Rating: 5.0i need to discordance more, i have not listened to inalienable dreamless enough
but ya sick choices
"don't need no Man the Ramparts or Jane Doe"
A song like this would never work on this record.
Album Rating: 5.0thanks for proving my point!
Album Rating: 4.5the inalienable dreamless is a 5 for me in the same way that jane doe is tbh
"Listening to this band, there isn't enough balance. It is too tense for me."
This is the only one of their LPs that is like so you might as well just pick up another one if it doesn't do it for you, none of their records are anything like this.
"thanks for proving my point!"
yea I was adding to it lol
Album Rating: 5.0ah well ty regardless...
Tranta you'd probably like Option Paralysis a lot more.

37 year old woman | Crystal, MN, USA | Seeking men 31-40 within 30 miles of Minneapolis, MN
Active within 3 days
I like red wine. White's OK too.
Here's a little about me: I'm athletic and active. I've completed 5 marathons and just finished my first Ragnar from Madison to Chicago. I'm definitely hooked! I live very close to the Theo Wirth and love riding my bike from my house around the chain of lakes during the summer. I kayaked around the lakes for the first time last summer and I'm looking forward to trying the paddleboard. I'm very competitive and I'm looking for someone who is just as active and loves trying new things. Not enough days in the summer...*sigh* My family is very important to me. While I have a ton of family in MN, overall it's very spread out. Irish/German on both sides and my dad's 10 brothers and sisters are all over the country. A few years ago, I joined the St. Pat's Association in St. Paul and met a ton of new Irish "family" which has been some of the most fun I've ever had in the winter! We celebrate St. Patricks' Day starting in January and going all the way through March 17th. That organization has become a big part of my life and I have met many great new friends. That was a good segue into my job. I'm in sales so I talk to a lot of different people all day long and have naturally learned how to be really social. The Irish family and St. Pat's Association coupled with alcohol (of course!) all contribute to the fact that I can make conversation with just about anyone. I work for a software (SaaS) based company downtown. It's been an amazing career opportunity for me and I'm very thankful for all the success I've had so far. I'll stop there. Usually when I start describing what I do everyday, people's eyes glaze over... I'm very creative when it comes to ideas, but I am terrible at arts and crafts. I'm even worse at sewing. I don't know why I felt that was important to point out. I'm a great planner. When people say those "what if" statements like "What if we just got in a car and drove to Chicago for the weekend?", I'm the person that says "Ok, I called a hotel. I filled the tank and bought some road trip snacks. I'll pick you up at 5". I make things happen. I love road trips, the lake, boats, beaches, bonfires, cooking, baking, reading, bowling, movies, new restaurants, old restaurants, travel, kids, wine, new running shoes, concerts, card games, staying in and watching Tivo... I'm looking for a partner in crime. Someone who enjoys at least some of the things that i enjoy, but can teach me a few new tricks and vice versa.
Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Running, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Cats
My dog, Bailey, is pit-bull / black lab mix. I rescued her in April when she was a year old and she is the best dog ever!
Love St. Paul bars, happy hours downtown Mpls., Chicago, Nana's beach... I visited Boston, CA, Chicago, and Traverse City, MI so far this year. Looking forward to a few more trips in 2012.
I love food. Sushi, steak, pasta, potatoes, you name it. Also - running, road trips, bonfires and Bill Murray! I have several younger cousins and I love making them laugh and hearing the hilarious things they say.
I'm an avid runner and started riding my bike a lot more this past summer. I love being outdoors - mostly in the summer, but I've learned to live with the MN winters. I enjoy bonfires, trying new restaurants...but also enjoy staying in too!
I am always reading more than one book. I rotate between books for work, novels, and even puzzles (cryptograms, sudoku). According to my friend I will be joining her book club soon. I'll have to learn how to focus on just one book I guess!

16 Best Bronzers
If your Casper-like complexion needs a touch of faux glow, try using one of these best bronzers
Why it's great: "A light touch will give me a gorgeous bronzed look without all the shimmer and glitter of so many other bronzers," raves one reader. Another reviewer agrees, saying "it looks like a real tan." This smooth-textured bronzer is "buildable and believable," and "it [works on] everyone, from the lightest to the darkest skin tones ... it truly is beautiful. This is the best bronzer to date!"
Agree? Disagree? Write your review here.

Thanks for putting this together. The Laura Mercer seems like something I would really like. Love Bobbi Brown's but was surprised not to see NYX's. The Matte works really well and is among my favorites also heard really good things about their new Illuminator one, but have yet to try it. Plan of fixing that soon

As a pale person, I am always on the look out for that perfect bronzer that will add dimension to my face, but looks natural and not the least bit orange. I love that you spend the majority of time praising the good bronzers, but also point out some of the worst.

Sue & I are headed down to the beach house in Baja on the first. We'll meet up with Jr., Allan & the rest of the Wounded Warriors gang for pre-running. I'll be following along behind on my new to me 2003 WR450. We installed a Baja Designs headlight & a GPR steering stab. on it. Should be fun! Then we're headed back down on the 14th to catch the race!!
Titanium, nice upgrade!! Once the head gets back I won't have any more excuses and will get crackin on the old girl again.
Sounds like you guys should have a great time, hopefully all will be safe and have a successful race! Hope you guys will do a lot of posting of updates so we can follow along.
Thanks again for your help! (and please give my thanks to Owen as well)
PS; is that steering dampner a one way dampner or two way? Am planning to put one on my TTR250 and Luke said that for desert only go one way and for enduro go two way. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I love spending time with local manufacturers everything from the 2 sewing machine uniform maker to furniture manufacturing but its small business I am interested in. Why? Because I find firstly they are artisans of a trade and can even produce personalised goods due to their skill level with manual tools. Secondly they are appreciative of the business and also just as important they offer high quality goods that put the Chinese rubbish to shame (well not really hard with the Chinese crap I often come across!).
In reality these businesses are struggling in many cases because of the big boys and their junk from China, people talk of Pinoy pride in reality I would say buy local and buy from the small businesses first. It may not be cheaper but the quality is better, its not damaging the economy by being imported and more importantly its keeping jobs local. Now it doesn't always have to be clothing or furniture things like buying vegetables and fruit locally and making sure its not imported from other countries that do it cheaper is just as important. In fact more important! The bizarre case of importing rice when the Philippines can produce it in abundance is a typical example of things going badly wrong as the Philippines should always be able to care for its own and not play for profit. This is a big issue when corporations control everything in the same way the financial crisis hit the Western countries due to a fake housing market boom. In reality you need to trust your own instincts and also remember the richest people in the Philippines are generally Chinese origin and although business minded it also means they are both Filipino and Chinese so taking jobs from the Philippines to China on manufacturing to save money and increase profits I doubt they lose any sleep at night.
The world is a changing market and supporting local business is all about sustainability. Lose your artisans today you may not have any left tomorrow.

It would happen to be fact 15 years ago that the PlayStation 2 was first released on March 4th 2000 in Japan and was still the best-selling console outselling both Xbox and GameCube during the 6th Generation of gaming during 2000 till 2008, it was January 2013 that PlayStation 2 discounted worldwide and the last three games there were released for the system were Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin for Japan and both Fifa 14 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 for the rest of the world.
With the success of the PlayStation outselling Sega and Nintendo nearly every person wanted one, Sony announced the PlayStation on March 1st 1999 the console was positioned as a competitor the Dreamcast which was the first sixth-generation console to be released. Despite Sony's announcement, the Dreamcast went on to a very successful North American launch later that year selling over 500,000 units within two weeks. Straight after the Dreamcast was released during Tokyo Game Show during September, Sony showed off some playable demos including Gran Turismo 2000 and Tekken Tag Tournament which showed off consoles graphic abilities and power. Back at the time it was really impressive to see how powerful games were on the system and how far gaming has come since than with both Gran Turismo and Tekken franchise. Sony even added in something that the Dreamcast didn't have which was a built-in DVD player where you can watch DVD's on the PlayStation 2 instead of a DVD player and a cheaper way in getting a DVD player back in early 2000.
The PlayStation 2 was launched in October 2000 in both North America and November in Europe. Sales of the console, games and accessories pulled in $250 million on the first day, beating the $97 million made on the first day of the Dreamcast. Directly after its release, it was difficult to find PS2 units on retailer shelves due to manufacturing delays. During its release there has been a huge range of game, accessories like SingStar and Eye Toy made an impact on sales that it made games fun to play with friends and family.
I'm pretty sure that for those who still own a PS2 guessing everyone had different tastes and their favourite games for the system. Here are my top three favourite PS2 games-
You could never really find the perfect game in life but Persona 4 really much had everything you would want in a JRPG game. Set in a Japanese high school and being transferred to a small town you start to find out on the mysterious rumours on the Midnight Channel where people can see their soul mates on the TV around Midnight but however as you progress through the story you find out that students are being thrown in the TV world and it's up to you and your friends to save them within a time limit after a number of days or they will die. Persona 4 is set as a traditional role-playing game you'll go through multiple dungeons you have to use Persona's in order to defeat enemies which are like monsters which you can summon each party member has a persona, the manifestation of one's true self, that they can use in battle. Each has its own unique Skills, and a specific set of strengths and weaknesses to certain attacks. Personas gain experience from battle and learn new Skills as they gain levels. The fun part about the game is that when you're in High School or not in the TV you can Socialise with other characters in the game this is called Social-Links where you can hang out with your friends or attend an after school club more you hang out with them your Persona's will become stronger. Not only that the story based around Persona 4 really does teach you about friendship in general and that this is more to life and having friends is something that you have to treasure.
When I first heard of Kingdom Hearts it was mentioned in an article on how well it was selling in Japan, I think I did remember seeing a trailer for this somewhere after being shown at E3 2002. When I saw images and gameplay I was amazed on how awesome and seeing an idea a little similar to mine coming to life. I really wanted to get this game but didn't have a PS2 back then but however when my sister got a PS2 for Christmas, I had to buy this game but the one problem was that it didn't come with a memory card. After waiting a few months finally had the money and bought the game. Most of my summer back in 2003 I spent most of my time playing Kingdom Hearts, I really liked the simply story where Sora is stuck on an island and his two best friends Riku and Kairi want to get off the island and go on a real adventure. Meanwhile in another world known as Disney Castle Mickey disappears and leaves a message warning Donald and Goofy that darkness is coming and must find the KEY. Which turned out to be Sora after seeing his world getting destroyed by the Heartless and his friends go missing, Sora, Donald and Goofy embark on an adventure and find out who's really behind all this. Most of the worlds that were mentioned in Kingdom Hearts were really impressive and look totally similar to the films we used to all watch as kids. I'll admit that were some really good moments and boss battles; as it story progressed and progressed it got even deeper, I start to relies that the more you follow the story you learn that deep down you'll always have friends that'll be with you.
First time I've heard about the series was when I was at college and one of my friends I knew was a huge Capcom fan when it came to games like Mega Man, Street Fighter and Devil May Cry. My friend highly recommended the Devil May Cry series after watching some gameplay footage while my friend was playing the game during break because the college I went to had a PS2 in lounge; ended up playing Devil May Cry 3 to begin with and was my first I now the story goes from 3,1,4,2 I'm kind of glad I've went through that direction because I can tell how Dante has changed the story is set several years before the events of the first Devil May Cry in an enchanted tower, the story centers of the dysfunctional relationship between Dante and his brother Virgil. Dante has opened an as-yet-unnamed demon-hunting agency and his demonic heritage has not yet reached its full potential. What made game shine was how insane the difficulty had got when you were playing it from a higher level from Easy mode to Heaven or Hell mode which was one hit and it's game over for you; was a hack-n-slash action adventure game with many weapons to use, memorable cutscenes where the overall game itself made you want to come back for more.
There are other games I would mention but likely to be mentioning them in my future blogs plus amazed that it's been nearly 10 years since their first release in 2005.
Do you have any favourite PS2 games in your collection?

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginBarricade among his teammates the SupremacistBarricade is a member of the Supremacist which are a group of six superhuman enforcers that reside in the country of Azania that follow an apartheid policy. This group consist of Barricade, Captain Blaze, White Avenger, Voortrekker, Hungyr and Harrier where they are trained at a strictly classified secret Special Weapons Research Facility in Azania. The Supremacist have been training for months until they are called upon for a mission to invade Wakanda after the Black Panther was accused of murdering several citizens of Azania. The Supremacist crash into a building where the ruling tribal council was witnessing a fight between T'Challa and T'Swana the Powerful over the title of the Black Panther. T'Swana was taken down by Harrier and his tasers which allowed the Black Panther to sneak up on the rest of the Supremacists. The Black Panther eludes capture while the Supremacists terrorize the city of Wakanda. The Black Panther would strike back and starts to take down each member of the Supremacists one by one. The Black Panther would take down the White Avenger and Barricade when he tosses a tied up Hungyr into them and the Supremacist member is forced to drain the power of his teammates.CreationThe character of Barricade was created by Peter B. Gillis and Denys Cowan for use in Marvel comics. Barricade's first and only appearance comes in Black Panther Vol 2 #1, which was released in July of 1988.Character EvolutionBarricade, as well as the entire Supremacist team, is chauvinist, believing his country and military are the greatest in the world and are correct in their beliefs. He doesn't take this viewpoint as far as his teammates, though.Powers & AbilitiesBarricade has superhuman strength, durability and resistance to injury. He could also create force-shields from his hands that can be used offensively against his enemies, or defensively to protect himself and teammates.

Sceptics fail to grasp that this is a strategy that improves lives while treating citizens with dignity – unlike coercion, argues Cass Sunstein.
It is true that nudges are not a sufficient approach to some of our most serious problems, such as violent crime, poverty, and climate change. Nonetheless, they have five major advantages over coercive approaches.
First, people's situations are highly diverse. By allowing people to go their own way, nudges reduce the costs of one-size-fits-all solutions.
Second, public officials have limited information. If official nudges are based on mistakes, the damage is far less severe than in the case of bans, because people remain free to ignore them.
Third, public officials do not always have the purest of motivations. They may be affected by the influence of well-organised private groups. If so, it is a major safeguard that people can go their own way.
Fourth, people may feel frustrated and angry if deprived of the ability to choose. When a government provides information or offers a warning, it simultaneously tells citizens that in the end they have the right to make their own decisions.
Fifth, freedom of choice can be, and often is, seen as an intrinsic good that a government should honour if it is to treat people with dignity. This is not a point about the subjective experience of frustration and anger. It is a matter of respect.

2013 Skoda Octavia teased [video]
Debuts this month
Skoda has released a teaser video for the upcoming third-gen Octavia set to be unveiled later this month.
Riding on VW Group's MQB platform, the 2013 Octavia will find its place between the Rapid and Superb in Skoda's lineup, with engines from the Golf VII. It will be lighter than the outgoing model and could get a hot vRS version powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.
Design-wise, a larger grille and a sloping roofline are expected, as well as a prominent character line running from the headlights to the taillights. Despite losing weight, the new Octavia will probably grow in size a little bit.
A full reveal is expected before the end of the month.
Thanks to Shrawan Raja for the tip!

"When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. "
Charter flying decreasing in some markets
Charter volume is dropping significantly in some markets, according to charter industry insiders. Recent increases in the size of the business aviation fleet are contributing to this problem, said William Quinn Jr., chairman of Aviation Management Systems in Portsmouth, N.H. "If the demand stays the same or even grows just a smidgen," he explained, "the supply is going [to grow] at a far greater rate than the demand. Most all of the fractional players have matured to the point where they are beyond the so-called critical mass. So their need for charter has dropped off considerably in the past three to five years and I think that will continue. We are also in an election year, and that tends to cause people to back off on making buying and spending decisions."

Re: Official Splinter Cell Conviction Thread
I get 30fps with my rig on max settings with 4xMSAA. I get some drops to the high 20s in large areas, nothing terrible for a slow-paced game like this. Turning off AA gets me 10fps more.
Lovely looking game, and I think the gameplay might be a lot better than I thought. This is on realistic... you basically cannot get into a straight-up firefight on realistic, you get butchered in seconds because the enemies will rush you and one hit equals death. You have to sneak and move constantly after shooting, which is fun. Gameplay might be great really, I need more time with it... on level 3.
Story is insane so far... have to see where it goes.
PC port seems okay, my main issue is a sluggish feel. Even at full sensitivity the mouse feels slow to respond and WASD movement feels a bit cumbersome... might try my 360 pad next time I play, see if that works better. Also trying to find mouse sensitivity in the ini file to see if boosting it past the in-game max works.
I gots one of them high powered gaming computers with an EVGA GTX 480 video thingy and a Q9550 processing device and also one of them Windows 7 64 operating programs with 4GB of some Corsair 1033 DDR2 ram.

This is a great loop for sure. I am still looking to extend it into lots of other areas like WY or possibly West, but that will take some reconnaissance.
I like the 610 a lot, here is a list of the Pros and Cons. Just as a reference I have ridden the XRR for years on all kinds of terrain and they are very similar bikes realistically. I have ridden the Husky on everything out here from singletrack to rocky passes to highway but have only had it for a few months.
-Infinitely better at highway speeds (6 speed trans), smoother, the ratios are spaced very well with the stock gearing and stock power even at altitude. LOVE the transmission.
-Fuel mileage is vastly better than the XR but I have the XR jetted rich as crap right now.
-Electric start... duh Fatal flaw of the XRR for some.
-Great ergos with the Husky high bars (thanks Geek!)
-Good to slightly overpowered front brake, I like it though.
-Finicky starting, no kick backup to magic button... guess I am paranoid and old school.
-Runs like crap cold, I haven't rejeted yet so may not be a real issue.
-Less power than the XR, makes its power in a very different way. No massive torque available at low revs like the XR, have to ride the bike higher in the rev range for sure. I really love the flexibility of the XR power. (My XR is just uncorked, no fancy carb, stock exhaust with different tip) Realistically they probably make the same peak power but the XRR makes so much more down low where I like to ride for flexibility...
-Even taller than the XR??? I have short legs...
-Heavier by a bit, can't really feel it except pushing the bike around
-Trail in the front end is supposedly the same between the XR and 610 but the steering is WAY slower on the 610 at low speeds. The Husky is way more stable dirt tracking sideways, so kind of a compromise. Haven't set the sag on the Husky but it seems close.
-Suspension is interesting, front end feels strange over really rough rocks, high speed damping seems off even through all adjustment settings. The rear seems to work well. I like the stock spring rates, some think it is stiff. I had Borynack do my suspension on the XRR and love it, most will think it is insane for woods riding and it is not so great in the really rocky stuff. In the whoops and tighter smooth stuff it is epic so maybe not a fair comparison...
-Steering stops are VERY close together, max turning angle is very small in comparison, makes turning around in tight spots a giant pain. The IMS tank will allow for the stops to be shaved a bit allowing for more lock angle but I may sell the bike and have not come up with a way to make this mod reversible if someone wants to use the stock tank...
-Crappy stock lights (tail and headlight), I bought a Cyclops so that should help!
-Rear brake is so overpowered it is dangerous if you are not used to it. Still very little modulation available after riding it for a while...
-Cam chain issue
Overall the Husky is an AWESOME bike for CO, I can put more miles in daily with it than the XR for sure. I can't justify selling the XR (just isn't worth much) and would have to drop a lot of money into the Husky (I think?) to get the suspension and power to where the XRR is. Ideally I would have the XRR with electric start and the trans from the Husky but that isn't possible/cost prohibitive. I have been eying the 690 white hard but damn they are $$$.
The price of man in motion is the occasional collision. Motor racing is dangerous. In order to be competitive in this business it is necessary for both man and machine to operate at the outer edges of their respective performance envelopes. The closer we come to the edge, the greater the risk of falling off. -Carroll Smith
