  • Sb238 Testimony Tre-Psm 02-06-17
    Bill 238 Testimony: Safe passing distance of 3 feet 30 cyclists killed in Hawaii in last 10 years. If this does not sound like very much, consider that for every cyclist killed, roughly 70 are seriously injured based on national averages. That’s approximately 2,100 bicycle related injuries here in Hawaii. 44% of cyclists fatalities result from being struck from behind or sideswiped, also a national statistic 12% of cyclists feel threatened by motor vehicles passing too close. I’ll explain why. This bill is important because it sets a standard for motorists; unless you are a cyclist, you don’t know what a safe passing distance is. Here is an example: Kamehameha Hwy in windward Oahu. For much of it, there is an 18 to 24 inch shoulder. If the cyclists rides in the middle of the shoulder, there is 9 to 12 inches between his wheel line and the shoulder stripe. A bike’s handle bar is typically two feet wide, some are more. The bar end extends into the lane when the cyclist is in the center of the shoulder. Rocks and dangerous debris often crop up in the shoulder, mandating the cyclist to abruptly swerve within the shoulder lane to avoid a spill. Should the cyclist swerve to the edge of the shoulder stripe, the handlebar will extend a foot into the lane. A car driver that had considered safe clearance to be 2 feet from the cyclist while in the center of the shoulder would strike the cyclist, even though the bicycle wheels remain within the shoulder.

  • RADICAL SABBATICAL 8 Days/7 Nights in Hawaii on the Islands of Maui and Oahu
    Incredible Adventures & SPECOPS present a RADICAL SABBATICAL 8 days/7 nights in Hawaii on the islands of Maui and Oahu Day 1 - Arrival Welcome to Maui! Your first day in paradise is reserved for pure rest and relaxation – enjoy it while you can. After a personal pick-up at the airport, you and the SPECOPS guide will bond through an intellectu- ally stimulating conversation on your way to a comfortable Bed & Breakfast where the remainder of the day is spent lounging poolside and walking the beautiful beaches of Maui. If you are “geographically challenged,” be careful of the questions you ask. For example, when you're sitting at the bar in your Ad- mit Nothing T-shirt boldly sipping a fu-fu drink, don't look across the water at Lanai and ask “Excuse me, is that Japan?” Day 2 – Chopper Flight, Surfing, Kayaking, Whale Watching (when in season) Bright and early a SPECOPS guide leads the Group to the heliport, which is the exfiltration point for an exhilarating flight/airborne tour to Hana, a sleepy little community nestled between pristine, tropical landscapes and the rugged Pacific Ocean. Upon arrival, another SPECOPS guide meets the Group and leads us to the oceanfront or garden view cottages. Once checked-in, he provides an in-depth ori- entation of the itinerary. The Special Forces instructor is not only a great host, but also a highly experi- enced surfer, lifeguard, medic, boat handler and survival instructor. The morning and afternoon is spent learning about ocean currents, tides, wave dynamics and marine condition evaluation techniques.

    road rash psp iso download Road Rash (E) [SLES-00158] PS1 ISO. The PlayStation (officially abbreviated to PS, and commonly known as the PS1 or its codename, PSX) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. The console was released on 3 December 1994 in Japan, 9 September 1995 in North America, 29 September 1995 in Europe, and 15 November 1995 in Australia. The console was the first of the PlayStation lineup of home video game consoles. It primarily competed with the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn as part of the fifth generation of video game consoles. The PlayStation is the first “computer entertainment platform” to ship 100 million units, which it had reached 9 years and 6 months after its initial launch. In July 2000, a redesigned, slim version called the PS one was released, replacing the original grey console and named appropriately to avoid confusion with its successor, the PlayStation 2. The PlayStation 2, which is backwards compatible with the PlayStation’s DualShock controller and games, was announced in 1999 and launched in 2000. The last PS one units were sold in late 2006 to early 2007 shortly after it was officially discontinued, for a total of 102 million units shipped since its launch 11 years earlier. Games for the PlayStation continued to sell until Sony ceased production of both the PlayStation and PlayStation games on 23 March 2006 – over 11 years after it had been released, and less than a year before the debut of the PlayStation 3. DOWNLOADING AND RUNNING ISO FILES: Road Rash (E) [SLES-00158] is one of the best games of PS1 console.

The bold use of color and its signature music is all you need to go back to the sweet time. The game was particularly made colorful to appeal to the young players. In Pac Man, the player had to eat the tiny dots placed inside the maze while protecting oneself from the four colored ghosts. Did you know that these ghosts have names? The red one is Blinky, the pink one is Pinky, the cyan one is Inkly and the orange is named Clyde. When the player manages to eat all the dots, the next level starts. If the player makes contact with the ghost, life will be lost.

    James Hein English 1100 2-1-18 James Hein 02/08/18 WP 1 Riding the Dragon The landscape becomes a blur of deciduous tree mixing with luscious evergreen pines as we climb into the Great Smokey Mountains flies past my tinted motorcycle visor. While riding a motorcycle is fun you, you should always follow the speed limits. An oddly warm day in the middle of May even for the higher elevations. I am thankful for my all black hoodie soaking up some of the sun rays as they poke through the trees casting shadows across the road. Ahead of me, rides a tall lanky man some would best describe him as a string bean, six foot two, 185 pounds soaking wet. He looks slightly too tall for his silver and black Yamaha FZ6r, a fast sports bike style motorcycle. Hunter is a very handsome, charismatic guy, intellectual and able to hold a conversation with just about anyone. I have known Hunter now for about four years having been stationed together in the Marine Corps. We decided to finally take our “guy’s trip” due to the fact my wife was going to Maine for our soon to be born son’s baby shower. Even though Hunter is a very smart man, he can tend to let speed get the best of him. I’m trying to keep up with Hunter, but I can feel every pothole and bump in the road. Unlike Hunter’s motorcycle mine is an all-black Kawasaki Ninja 250 nearly one third the size of his.
