Gunung Sinabung Keluarkan Asap Foto - Remove Smoke Sinabung Photos

Apa yang sedang terjadi pada Gunung Sinabung? Gunung yang berlokasi di Kabupaten Karo, Sumatra Utara ini, Mengeluarkan Asap dan ini satu gejala  adanya aktivitas yang cukup meresahkan masyarakat di sekitar gunung Sinabung tersebut. Gunung Sinabung di Kabupaten Karo, Sumatera Utara, memperlihatkan aktivitas vulkaniknya. Ada kemiripan aktivitas vulkanik Gunung yang tidak dikenali letusannya sejak 1600 ini dengan letusan Gunung Krakatau pada 127 tahun lalu.
 

Gunung Sinabung Keluarkan Kepulkan Asap Foto  Remove Smoke Sinabung Photos"Gunung Sinabung termasuk gunung berapi tipe B. Artinya, gunung ini masih aktif namun tidak dikenali letusannya sejak tahun 1600," kata Staf Khusus Presiden Bidang Penanganan Bencana dan Sosial, Andi Arief, dalam keterangan tertulisnya.

Menurut Andi Arief, ada kemiripan antara Gunung Sinabung dengan Gunung Krakatau yang 'kebetulan' meletus di bulan ini, Agustus, pada tanggal 26, 27, dan 28 tahun 1883.

Andi Arief melanjutkan, Gunung Sinabung ini masih memiliki manifestasi asap dari uap air maupun belerang. Karena tidak membahayakan, gunung itu tidak dipantau sebelumnya.

Uap air itu diduga berasal dari air yang masuk ke kawah gunung. Kemudian, karena intensitas hujan yang tinggi, maka air masuk kawah Sinabung dan berubah menjadi uap bertekanan tinggi. Lalu terjadi letusan freatik atau uap air yang diikuti abu vulkanik.

"Kalau kita lihat beberapa sumber bacaan terjadinya letusan krakatau 1883 hampir mirip, dimana air laut masuk kawah," kata dia. Ada pula kemiripan kedua yakni, dinding-dinding mulai runtuh.

"Lalu (uap air) mendidih bertekanan tingi dan meletup meruntuhkan dinding Krakatau. Mudah-mudahanan ini hanya mirip," ujar Andi. Kendati demikian, hingga kini Gunung Sinabung masih hanya mengeluarkan asap dari kawah saja. Belum ada aktivitas gunung akan meletus.

Seperti diketahui, Gunung Krakatau yang berada di Selat Sunda itu meletus pada 1883. Letusan gunung yang mahadahsyat itu disebutkan menewaskan 36.000 jiwa.

Suara Krakatau terdengar sampai Australia dan Pulau Rodrigues dekat Afrika, 4.653 kilometer.

Daya ledaknya diperkirakan mencapai 30.000 kali bom atom yang diledakkan di Hiroshima dan Nagasaki di akhir Perang Dunia II. Ini merupakan letusan gunung terbesar sejak populasi manusia sudah cukup padat.

Gunung Sinabung di Kabupaten Karo, Sumatera Utara, Jumat (27/8) sekitar Pukul 20.00 WIB menyemburkan debu belerang.

Beberapa warga di sekitar Kecamatan Namo Terang menyebutkan, debu berwarna putih bercampur zat belerang tersebut menyembur berulang kali dari kawah Gunung Sinabung hingga radius puluhan kilometer. Beberapa jam sebelum peristiwa itu warga sempat mendengar suara gemuruh di sekitar puncak gunung tersebut.

"Kejadian seperti itu sebelumnya tidak pernah terjadi dan banyak warga sempat panik melihat semburan debu putih dengan bau belerang itu," kata Hardi, warga Desa Kuta Gugung, Kecamatan Namo Terang.

Menyusul adanya semburan itu ratusan warga di sekitar kaki gunung berapi yang masih aktif itu terpaksa mengungsi. Debu belerang juga menyebar hingga ke sejumlah jalan raya di Kabupaten Karo, sehingga cukup mengganggu pengguna jalan.

Intensitas semburan debu bercampur belerang yang melanda sejumlah desa di Kabupaten Karo tersebut dirasakan mulai berkurang menjelang pukul 22.00 WIB atau dua jam pasca semburan awal.

Hardi menambahkan hingga menjelang Jumat tengah malam di desanya belum ada terlihat Tim SAR maupun petugas dari Satuan Koordinasi Pelaksana (Satkorlak) Penanggulangan Bencana Pemkab Karo.


Sekitar 2.000 warga yang bermukim di kawasan Gunung Sinabung di Kabupaten Karo, Sumatera Utara sempat mengungsi akibat kepulan asap dari gunung tersebut.

Namun, sekitar pukul 23.00 WIB tadi malam, warga berangsur meninggalkan sejumlah tempat pengungsian di Kabanjahe, ibukota Kabupaten Karo untuk kembali ke desa masing-masing. Warga kembali setelah Pemerintah Kabupaten Karo menyatakan desa mereka aman untuk ditinggali.

"Tadi memang sempat ramai di sini, tapi mereka sudah kembali dengan menumpang truk TNI," kata Sahala Lingga, warga Kabanjahe di Kabanjahe, Sabtu pagi, 28 Agustus 2010.

Warga yang mengungsi di antaranya berasal dari Desa Sigarang-garang, Kuta Rakyat, Gugung, Sukanalu, Simacem, Bakera, Berastepu, Sukadebi, Kuta Tonggal, Sukatepu, Kuta Tengah, Gambir, Deskati, Gung Pinto, Kuta Belin.

Perjalanan dari desa itu ke Kabanjahe membutuhkan perjalanan sekitar 45 menit. Namun sebagian warga masih tinggal di rumah saudara mereka di Kabanjahe.

Sekolah-sekolah di dekat Gunung Sinabung, Kabupaten Karo, Sumatera Utara (Sumut) banyak diliburkan hari ini. Gara-garanya, banyak guru yang masih mengungsi akibat keluarnya asap dari Gunung Sinabung.

"Hari ini sekolah-sekolah pada diliburkan semua. Ada satu dua SMP di Sigarang-garang libur semua. Dari pemberitahuan anak-anak gurunya belum pulang dari ngungsi," ujar Terkelin Sembiring, warga Desa Kuta Gugung, Kecamatan Naman Teran, Kabupaten Karo kepada detikcom, Sabtu (28/8/2010).

Aktivitas penduduk pun, imbuh Terkelin, baru pulih 30 persen. Masih banyak warga yang bertahan di tempat mengungsi di pendopo Kabupaten Karo.

Hingga hari ini, imbuh Terkelin, Gunung Sinabung masih mengeluarkan asap putih kendati tidak setebal asap yang dikeluarkan pada Jumat kemarin. Bau belerang juga masih menyengat. Terkelin mengeluhkan tak adanya bantuan kesehatan dari pemerintah daerah, padahal penduduk di sekitar gunung banyak yang mengalami sesak napas karena bau belerang.

"Setidaknya mereka (Pemda) kirimkan tim kesehatan dan memberi tahu apa yang sebaiknya dilakukan. Disuruh memakai masker dari mana. Mestinya dikasih petunjuk, apa sapu tangan dikasih air atau bagaimana. Orang-orang sudah mengalami sesak bernafas," keluh Terkelin.

Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) membenarkan ada aktivitas vulkanik yang terjadi di Gunung Sinabung. Namun, kecil kemungkinan gunung tersebut meletus.

Dijelaskan Kepala Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) Surono ketika berbincang dengan detikcom, Jumat (27/8/2010), bahwa di Sumatera Utara terdapat 4 gunung berapi berdekatan letaknya.

Yaitu Gunung Pusuk Bukit yang bertipe C, Gunung Sibayak dan Gunung Sinabung bertipe B serta Gunung Sorik Marapi bertipe A.

"Artinya tipe B, gunung api yang sejak tahun 1600 tidak dikenali letusannya. Bahwa di situ ada manifestasi sulfatara (belerang) dan fumarol (asap/uap air), karena gunung api tersebut aktif, dengan tipe B. Artinya gunung api itu dikategorikan tidak berbahaya," ujar Surono.

Sedangkan gunung berapi tipe A, adalah gunung berapi yang pernah meletus sekurang-kurangnya satu kali sesudah tahun 1600. Dan gunung api tipe C adalah gunung berapi yang tidak diketahui pernah meletus dalam sejarah namun ada aktivitas sulfatara dan fumarol yang lemah.

Karena itu, PVMBG tidak melakukan pemantauan yang terus menerus seperti yang dilakukan terhadap Gunung Sorik Marapi.

Nah, keluarnya asap dari Gunung Sinabung, Surono menjelaskan ada hujan lebat sebelumnya di kawasan itu.

"Air banyak masuk di kawah Sinabung. Air kemudian menjadi uap air bertekanan tinggi dan membawa material berupa abu. Lantas angin membawa abu ke arah Tenggara, karena bukaan kawah Sinabung ke Tenggara," jelas Surono.

Surono menegaskan asap dari Gunung Sinabung ini sama sekali tidak berbahaya, tidak seperti 'wedhus gembel' atau awan panas yang pernah keluar dari Gunung Merapi di Yogyakarta.

Dua Nama Calon Ketua Pimpinan KPK

Sekarang ini Tim Panitia Seleksi Penerimaan KPK sudah menentukan 2 Dua Nama Calon Ketua KPK yang Baru. Panitia Seleksi Calon Pimpinan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, Jumat (27/8/2010) pukul 10.30, akan menyerahkan dua nama hasil seleksi ke Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Nama-nama itu dihasilkan setelah Panitia Seleksi menggodok semua informasi, dipadu dengan hasil wawancara yang diselenggarakan, Kamis (26/8/2010).

Hingga semalam, pukul 23.00, Panitia Seleksi yang dipimpin Menteri Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Patrialis Akbar masih menggelar rapat untuk memilih dua nama yang akan disampaikan kepada Presiden. ”Jumat kami umumkan sesudah melapor ke Presiden,” ujar Patrialis.

Kamis, Panitia Seleksi mewawancarai tujuh calon, yakni Bambang Widjojanto, Chaerul Rasjid, Fachmi, I Wayan Sudirta, Jimly Asshiddiqie, Melli Darsa, dan Busyro Muqoddas. Wawancara satu jam itu berhasil menguak sedikit profil setiap calon.

Jimly akan mundur
Jimly, misalnya, dalam wawancara mengaku tak pernah mengejar jabatan, termasuk ketika memutuskan turut serta dalam seleksi pimpinan KPK. Namun, ia terang-terangan mengungkapkan niatnya untuk mundur jika tak terpilih menjadi ketua KPK.

”Beda itu wakil ketua dan ketua. Kalau cuma wakil, saya tidak mau. Mendingan saya beri masukan dari luar saja,” kata Jimly.

Niatan mundur juga diungkapkan advokat Melli Darsa. Ia mengaku siap menjadi pimpinan KPK dalam masa satu tahun dan akan mundur kalau harus menjabat selama empat tahun. Baginya, menjadi pimpinan KPK adalah sebuah batu loncatan bagi pencapaian yang diinginkannya. Apalagi, ia mengaku berencana melanjutkan sekolah pula.

Panitia mengklarifikasikan pula laporan masyarakat. Chaerul Rasjid, mantan Kepala Polda Jawa Tengah, misalnya, ditanya kedekatannya dengan pengusaha yang disebut juga mengelola perjudian Aseng. Menurut Chaerul, ia memang pernah memanggil Aseng dan memintanya menutup seluruh operasional judi togel di Jateng. Judi togel pun berhenti di Jateng.

Namun, kata anggota Panitia Seleksi, Todung Mulya Lubis, ia melakukan impunitas terhadap pelaku pelanggaran hukum. Untuk hal itu, Chaerul beralasan, setiap tindakan perlu dilihat untung-ruginya. Termasuk, guncangan yang bisa muncul di internal kepolisian karena saat itu ada indikasi 248 oknum polisi terlibat dalam bisnis perjudian.

Ditanya soal rekening besar milik sejumlah pimpinan Polri, Chaerul menyatakan, setiap pelanggaran harus ditindak, termasuk yang dilakukan oknum polisi. Namun, cara yang dipakai adalah berkoordinasi dengan Kepala Polri. Ia menilai selama ini KPK sombong dan arogan.

I Wayan Sudirta, anggota Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, diklarifikasi tentang tunggakan pajak dan afiliasi dengan partai politik tertentu saat mencalonkan diri sebagai bupati Buleleng. Ia mengaku sudah melunasi pajak tersebut begitu mengetahui ada tunggakan. Ia juga bukan simpatisan partai tertentu.

Busyro, Ketua Komisi Yudisial (KY), diklarifikasi tentang gaya kepemimpinannya yang dinilai tak tegas dan perekrutan pegawai yang beraroma nepotisme. Busyro mengakui gaya kepemimpinannya. Namun, ia tidak pernah berkompromi di KY. Keberanian sebagai pimpinan KPK juga tak harus vulgar.

Panitia Seleksi (Pansel) pimpinan KPK sudah mengantongi 2 nama calon pimpinan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK). Namun Pansel masih merahasiakan nama-nama itu.

"Alhamdulillah, Pansel KPK selesai memilih dua nama calon pimpinan KPK untuk diajukan kepada Presiden SBY besok," ujar anggota Pansel KPK, Todung Mulya, dalam akun twitternya, Kamis (27/8/2010) malam.

2 Nama itu didapatkan Pansel setelah menggelar rapat tertutup, Kamis malam. Sebelumnya 7 calon pimpinan KPK ini menjalani sesi wawancara. Mereka adalah Bambang Widjojanto, Chaerul Rasjid, Fachmi, I Wayan Sudirta, Jimly Asshiddiqie, Melli Darsa, dan Busyro Muqqodas.

Saat akan memulai rapat tertutup, Ketua Pansel KPK, Patrialis Akbar pun menjelaskan Pansel KPK akan membawa 2 nama calon pimpinan KPK pada Presiden SBY. Pengumuman dua nama terpilih ini akan dilakukan di Istana sekitar pukul 10.30 WIB.

Panitia Seleksi (Pansel) Kandidat Pimpinan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) menemukan masalah pada konsistensi dan orientasi personal sejumlah kandidat terkait dengan masa jabatan dan mundur jika tak menjadi ketua komisi anti korupsi.

Todung Mulya Lubis mengatakan sudah terjadi diskualifikasi pribadi oleh kandidat terkait dengan masa jabatan dan pengunduran diri jika tidak terpilih menjadi ketua KPK. Dia menilai masalah itu akan menjadi persoalan dengan konsistensi dalam pemberantasan korupsi.

“Sudah terjadi self-disqualification oleh kandidat, ini akan menjadi sulit. Ini juga akan menjadi pertimbangan dalam keputusan Pansel,” kata Todung seusai mewawancari tujuh kandidat pimpinan KPK di Jakarta hari ini.

Pada tes wawancara hari ini, mantan anggota Dewan Pertimbangan Presiden (Wantimpres) Jimly Asshidiqie mengatakan dirinya akan mengundurkan diri jika tidak terpilih menjadi ketua KPK. Advokat Melli Darsa menuturkan dirinya hanya mempersiapkan masa selama 1 tahun, bukan 4 tahun, jika dirinya terpilih menjadi ketua KPK.

Menurut Todung, masalah ini akan berpengaruh pada konsistensi dan komitmen kandidat terkait dengan pemberantasan korupsi. Namun, sambungnya, dirinya belum mau menyebutkan siapa calon yang akan dipilih dan direkomendasikan untuk Presiden.

Rencananya, dua kandidat KPK itu akan diserahkan Pansel ke Presiden pada 27 Agustus 2010 dan akan diumumkan oleh pihak Istana. Pansel malam ini akan melakukan rapat terkait dengan dua calon tersebut.

Anggota lainnya, Fajrul Falaakh menuturkan kandidat yang memiliki orientasi personal bermasalah dianggap hanya ingin coba-coba dengan kedudukan pimpinan KPK. Dia mengatakan orientasi personal kandidat dilihat dari motivasi seseorang masuk menjadi kandidat pimpinan KPK.

“Kami melihat dorongan, panggilan atau sekedar cuma coba-coba. Ini akan menjadi pertimbangan kami selain beberapa kriteria lainnya,” kata Fajrul kepada pers seusai wawancara kandidat.

Dia menuturkan sejumlah kriteria lainnya adalah komitmen, integritas, kematangan, strategi dan konsistensi. Fajrul juga menolak memberikan siapa yang akan menjadi dua calon kuat kandidat KPK yang diserahkan ke Presiden nanti.

Ketujuh kandidat pimpinan KPK yang hari ini menjalani tahap wawancara adalah Bambang Widjojanto (pengacara),Irjen Pol Chaerul Rasjid (mantan Kapolda Jawa Tengah), Sutan Bagindo Fachmi (jaksa aktif),I Wayan Sudirta (anggota DPD),Jimly Asshiddiqie (mantan Ketua Mahkamah Konstitusi),Melli Darsa (advokat), dan M Busyro Muqoddas (Ketua Komisi Yudisial).

Satu-satunya calon pimpinan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi yang perempuan, Meli Darsa, menyatakan, hanya bersedia memimpin lembaga antikorupsi itu selama satu tahun jika ia terpilih. Ia mengasumsikan masa jabatannya nanti bukanlah 4 tahun seperti yang diinginkan panitia seleksi. Hal tersebut lantaran ia sudah membangun sebuah firma hukum.

"Saya tidak berniat melakukan ini sedini mungkin. Umur saya 44 tahun, saya mengantisipasi kantor tetap bisa jalan. Itu adalah aset yang saya miliki. Tentu bapak tidak meminta melepas aset yang saya miliki," kata Meli kepada seluruh anggota panitia seleksi di Kantor Kementerian Hukum dan HAM, Kamis (26/8).

Jika ternyata masa jabatan pimpinan KPK selama 4 tahun, Meli menyatakan akan mundur dari pencalonan. "Saya hanya bersedia untuk satu tahun. Kalau empat tahun, saya mengundurkan diri," kata dia. Menurutnya, justru dengan masa jabatan satu tahun, apa saja yang dilakukan selama menjadi pimpinan KPK bisa terukur.

"Hampir semua kandidat tidak ingin satu tahun. Justru anda ingin satu tahun. Apakah karena anda menyayangi perusahaan anda? Apa anda bisa berbuat banyak untuk KPK dalam satu tahun?" tanya anggota pansel, Rhenald Khasali. "Semangat optimisme untuk bisa melakukan pekerjaan. Yang penting itu back on track. Masalahnya adalah do we want to fight for KPK?" Meli balas bertanya.

Sementara itu, Ahmad Ubbe mempertanyakan penghasilan Meli yang ditaksir sebesar Rp 1,5 miliar per bulan. Ia juga diduga pergi ke Singapura setiap minggu bersama anaknya. Menanggapi laporan tersebut, Meli mengatakan nominal itu bukan gajinya pribadi, namun pendapatan firma hukumnya secara keseluruhan. "Itu pemasukan firma saya, lalu dibagi-bagi dan kita putar lagi," jelasnya.

Nita Safitri

Hubungan Ketua Fraksi Partai Demokrat DPRD Jombang Ahmad Tohari dengan pembantunya tidak hanya tuntas di ranjang. Di kamar mandi pun mereka sempat foto-fotoan. Istri Tohari, Endang Ekowati memperlihatkan gambar-gambar telanjang Nita Safitri, selingkuhan Tohari.

Foto-foto Nita tanpa sehelai benang ini disimpan di ponsel Tohari. Terlihat Nita sedang memegang gayung di dalam kamar mandi. Dalam pose tersebut tubuh molek gadis asli Nganjuk ini telanjang bulat.

Kemudian ada juga foto Nita Safitri yang diambil dengan pose membelakangi kamera. Praktis, yang terlihat adalah lekuk tubuh Nita bagian belakang. Bahkan ada juga foto Nita yang sedang melepaskan celana dalam.

Endang menduga, foto panas selingkuhan suaminya itu diambil di sejumlah hotel. Pasalnya, lokasi masing-masing foto berbeda antara satu dengan yang lainnya.

Namun sayangnya, ketika sejumlah wartawan hendak memotret ulang foto-foto tersebut, Endang buru-buru melarangnya.

"Maaf jangan di potret ulang. Boleh melihat tapi tidak boleh dipotret," kata Endang yang mengaku sudah dua bulan pisah ranjang dengan suaminya itu.

Foto-foto yang ada di ponsel Tohari dicetak dan dijadikan alat bukti gugatan cerai Endang. Foto-foto syur Nita sudah berada di Pengadilan Agama Jombang.

Skandal Seks

Sejak 2003, Tohari sudah diketahui berselingkuh dengan Nita. Namun, pihak keluarga mencari damai. Ahmad Tohari bersumpah tidak akan mengulangi perbuatannya.

Namun, janji Tohari itu hanya dibibir. Diam-diam pria berumur 44 tahun ini kembali menjalin hubungan gelap dengan pembantunya bernama Nita Safitri. Bahkan Tohari memasukkan nama Nita ke dalam KK (Kartu Keluarga).

"Saya sudah tidak kuat dengan penderitaan ini. Makanya saya minta cerai," urainya sambil berkaca-kaca.

Pesawat Pengebom Iran Tanpa Awak

Pesawat Tanpa Awak Iran yang bisa melakukan pengeboman dengan kecepatan tinggi membuat  Presiden Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, bangga melihat ilmuwan di negerinya bisa membuat pesawat pengebom tanpa awak. Dia menyebut pesawat itu sebagai "duta kematian" sekaligus "pembawa pesan damai."

"Jet ini, selain menjadi duta kematian bagi musuh-musuh kemanusiaan, juga memiliki pesan pokok bagi perdamaian dan persahabatan," ujar Ahmadinejad saat meresmikan pesawat pengebom tanpa awak, "Karrar," Minggu 22 Agustus 2010.

Dalam bahasa Parsi, Karrar berarti penyerang. Menurut stasiun televisi Iran, pesawat sepanjang empat meter ini mampu membawa empat buah rudal jelajah dan mampu terbang hingga 1.000 km. "Pesawat ini mampu melumpuhkan musuh di pangkalannya," kata Ahmadinejad.

Menurut laman Iran PressTV, pesawat itu mampu melakukan misi pengeboman dengan target di darat. Karrar juga bisa terbang jarak jauh dengan kecepatan tinggi. Namun, Ahmadinejad menyatakan bahwa pembuatan pesawat ini hanya untuk pertahanan.

Dia mendukung program kemandirian militer Iran untuk mengembangkan sistem pertahanan dan persenjataan. "Program ini berlangsung hingga musuh kemanusiaan kehilangan harapan untuk menyerang Iran," kata Ahmadinejad.

Dia tidak menyebut siapa saja yang dia anggap musuh itu. Pada Jumat pekan lalu, Iran juga mengujicoba peluru kendali darat-ke-darat, Qiam-1.

Kantor berita Associated Press mengungkapkan bahwa Iran telah mengembangkan teknologi dirgantara, termasuk pesawat tanpa awak sejak akhir dekade 1980-an. Sejak 1992, Iran juga mampu memproduksi tank, kendaraan angkut personil lapis baja, rudal, torpedo dan pesawat tempur.

Bahkan, tetangga Irak ini juga berhasil mengembangkan teknologi nuklir. Itulah yang terus dirisaukan oleh seteru-seterunya. Mereka curiga Iran bisa membuat senjata nuklir walau Iran berkali-kali membantah bahwa uranium yang mereka buat hanya untuk kepentingan damai.

Gaza Palestina Target Kamp di Aceh

Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) menegaskan bahwa pelatihan militer di Aceh bukan latihan para teroris, melainkan latihan persiapan untuk jihad ke Gaza Palestina.

HTI menyatakan tindakan penangkapan orang-orang yang diduga terlibat dalam jaringan teroris Aceh adalah rekayasa. "Itu pelatihan militer adalah untuk persiapan di Jalur Gaza. Itu diadakan menyusul serangan brutal Israel," kata juru bicara Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, Ismail Yusanto di Mabes Polri, Jakarta, Kamis 2010.

HTI menyatakan rangkaian tindakan yang dilakukan Densus 88 itu sebagai rekayasa. HTI berani mengklaim pelatihan militer itu sebagai persiapan jihad ke Gaza karena memiliki data-data. "Kami tahu, kami punya data-datanya," tegas dia.

Dia menilai ada orang-orang yang disusupkan dalam rangkaian itu untuk mendiskreditkan kelompok tertentu. "Bahwa ada si fulan, si fulan ini adalah orang-orang yang disusupkan di seluruh rangkaian kegiatan ini," kata dia.

Apakah orang-orang yang disusupkan itu termasuk Sofyan Tsauri (anggota Polri yang dipecat)? "Ya diantaranya itu," kata dia.

Lantas, jika HTI menyatakan rangkaian tindakan itu merupakan rekayasa, mengapa ditemukan sejumlah dokumen target operasi kelompok tersebut, seperti markas Brimob Bandung?

"Nah itu yang kemudian yang harus diungkap. Di dalam itu (komunitas kelompok yang dinyatakan sebagai teroris oleh Mabes Polri) itu juga ada rekayasa-rekayasa jangka panjang, sedemikian rupa menjerat ustad Abu seperti yang kita saksikan sekarang ini," kata dia.

Menurut dia, Ba'asyir hanyalah seorang ustad yang mempunyai cita-cita yang biasa. "Cita-cita itu hal yang biasa dalam ajaran Islam. Dari sisi ini sama juga dengan cita-cita Hizbut Tahrir," kata dia.

Parampaa Interesting Local Game

It had never imagined previously in mind of Bisri Mustova to make Parampaa Free Download Games Online. Starting from idle tinkering with computer for leisure, online gaming (daring) he did encompass many fans even in virtual world.

Game Online Terbaru, Since it launch late last year, game with form of a quiz with multiple choice answers, it has now collected more than 700 thousand hits. "I do not think Parampaa play by many people," said Ova - Bisri Mustova nickname - to iTempo, last Wednesday.

Quiz Parampaa (http://parampaa.net) does not a game that takes seriousness like most other online games. As written in early page: "This Game Is for Nothing but Fun. Play It or Just Leave It '. Although called simply for fun, this game is not rare to make the players intrigued. "In fact, there are up to emotion," he said with a chuckle.

This 26-years-old single man was not intended to provoke the anger of players. Ova admitted only follow suggestion of his friends. "If it makes wonder, it will continue to play by people. Players like being ridiculed if game over, so he'll try and try again," he said.

Almost all questions in this quiz tends to trap. For example in a matter of prime (level 1), the command is "Click the Start (Klik Mulai)!" For this question, there are four possible answers, which is a. Start, b. Forward (Maju), c. Come (Ayo), and d. C'mon. Most players think the answer is a. Start, because the "Mulai" is synonymous with "Start".

But the question turned out to be a trap. Players would think the answer is between four options (a, b, c, or d). Estimation was missed because the correct answer turns on the word "Start (Mulai)". So the player must click on the word "Mulai" if you want to continue to next level.

The next questions (level 2) also make tense from restraining pent-up emotions. Because this way: "If A = B and C = D, then G =?" This question also has four possible answers, ie, a. A, b. J, c. H, and d. M. From this question, player to easily answer c. H. But their guess was missed. The correct answer is a. A.

To be able to continue to next level, players must answer correctly. There are three times chance to answer. Every time players wrong selecting an answer, there will be a sound like glass breaking. If wrong up to three times, the game finished (game over). To try again, must return to the start menu.

Originally Ova make Parampaa not for gaming, but for comic strips in forms of emoticons on his blog, "Catetan Masova" (http://www.mustova.com). By accident, he found a number of task files of creating a quiz application as an undergraduate majoring in Graphic Design, Modern School of Design, Yogyakarta.

Point Blank Game Online Point Blank Indonesia

Point Blank Game adalah salah satu download-point-blank-indonesia.Game Online Terbaru Indonesia yang paling laku saat ini. Game Point Blank, begitu menarik dan membuat kita merasa penasaran uantuk main Point Blank sepanjang hari. Walaupunbegitu banyaknya Game Online Terbaru yang hadir serta rilis tahun 2010 ini. Namun Point Blank, sebagai Game Online belum bisa ada yang menggantikan posisi dan kedudukannya di hati para gamers.

In external ballistics, Cheat Point-Blank range is the distance between a firearm and a target of a given size such that the bullet in flight is expected to strike the target without adjusting the elevation of the firearm. The point-blank range will vary with the firearm and its particular ballistic characteristics, as well as the target chosen. A firearm with a flatter trajectory will permit a nearer minimum and further maximum point blank range for a given target size, while a larger target will allow for a longer point blank range for a given firearm.

In forensics and popular usage, point-blank range has come to mean extreme close range (i.e., target within about a meter (3 ft) of the muzzle at moment of discharge but not close enough to be an actual contact shot). Gunshot wounds from point-blank are identified by extensive powder burns as well as tissue damage from perforation by unburned grains of gunpowder

The term point blank range is of French origin. The center of a target was once a small white spot and the French for white is blanc, and aim is point. The term therefore means "aim at the center of the target."

The term originated with the techniques used to aim muzzleloading cannon. The barrels of the cannon tapered down from breech to muzzle, so that when the top of the cannon was held horizontal, the bore actually sat at an elevated angle. In addition, the firing of the gun caused the muzzle to elevate slightly due to recoil, and this would result in an upward movement by the shot even in a cylindrical cannon. This caused the shot to rise above the natural line of sight very soon after leaving the muzzle, and later dropping below the line of sight due to the curved trajectory of the shot.

By firing a given projectile and charge in the cannon, the distance at which the shot fell below the bottom of the bore could be measured. This distance was considered the point blank range. Any target within the point blank range required the gun to be depressed; any target beyond the point blank range required the gun to be elevated, up to the angle of greatest range, which happens somewhat before 45 degrees of elevation.

The point blank range varies significantly with not only the ballistics of the gun, but also its shape, as it is shape that determines the natural line of sight on which point blank range is based. Various cannon of the 19th century had point blank ranges from 250 yards (12 lb howitzer, 0.595 lb (0.270 kg) powder charge) to nearly 1075 yards (30 lb carronade, solid shot, 3.53 lb (1.60 kg) powder charge).

Small arms are often sighted-in so that the sight line and bullet path are within a certain acceptable margin out to the longest possible range, called the maximum point blank range. The range of distance inside the maximum point blank range is greatly dependent on the external ballistics of the cartridge in question; high velocity rounds have long point blank ranges, while slow rounds have much shorter point blank ranges. Other factors in the point blank range are the target size (which determines how far above and below the line of sight the trajectory may deviate), the height of the sights, and an acceptable drop before a shot is ineffective.

Maximum point blank range for hunting
A large target, like the vitals area of a deer, allows a deviation of a few inches (as much as 10 cm) while still ensuring a quickly disabling hit. A varmint such as a prairie dog requires a much smaller deviation, less than an inch (about 2 cm). The height of the sights has two effects on point blank range. If the sights are lower than the allowable deviation, then point blank range starts at the muzzle, and any difference between the sight height and the allowable deviation is lost distance that could have been in point blank range. Higher sights, up to the maximum allowable deviation, push the maximum point blank range further from the gun. Sights that are higher than the maximum allowable deviation push the start of the point blank range out from the gun; this is quite common on varmint rifles, where close shots are never made, as it places the point blank range out to the expected range of the targets.

Maximum point blank range for military use
This sight setting for maximum point blank range is also referred to in the military as Battle Zero. Soldiers are instructed to fire at any target within this range by simply placing the sights on the center of mass of the enemy target. Any errors in range estimation are tactically irrelevant as a well-aimed shot will hit the torso of the enemy soldier. The current trend for elevated sights and higher velocity cartridges in assault rifles is in part due to a desire to extend the maximum point blank range, which makes the rifle easier to use.

Calculating point-blank range
A projectile falls due to gravity once it leaves a weapon barrel. All objects at
the same geographic location fall with the same acceleration, denoted g, roughly 9.8 m/s² (32 ft/s²). Velocity is a vector; the vertical component of any projectile's velocity can be treated separately from the horizontal component. If the barrel is horizontal and at height h above the ground, then Newton's Equations of Motion can be used to show that the range is approximately \scriptstyle v \sqrt\frac{2h}{g}, where v is the muzzle velocity. This calculated range is reduced by air resistance. The air resistance depends on at least the frontal area of the projectile, the drag coefficient, air density and obviously the speed of the projectile -- making the problem a differential equation.

Film Eat, Pray, Love

Film Eat, Pray, Love, starring two of Hollywood fame star, Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem, will get stiff competition in its inaugural launch, this week Friday.

Adaptation of a novel by Elizabeth Gilbert will compete with the production of Lionsgate action movie, The Expendables, which will also be released this Friday.

The film, starring the Hollywood actor was expected to be tremendous acclaim from adult males until the children. Inevitably, this week will be a tight battle for Eat, Pray, Love to be able to occupy the top position at the box office ladder.

Sony Pictures put high hopes on the success of the film Eat, Pray, Love, following the sales success of his novels have sold up to 8 million copies.

With the number of readers that much, it hoped many of the readers who flock to theaters to watch a movie that tells about the author's travel records in discovering her identity, love and sincerity.

Sony targets Eat, Pray, Love can survive long in the top 10 best selling movies, such as Sony's other film production experienced a year ago, namely Julie & Julia.

Sony sure Parties classy actress Oscar on installing a sort of Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem may appeal to the audience. In Indonesia, it also matched expectations. Film shooting which took place in Bali, it also involves famous Indonesian actress Christine Hakim, and spiritual leaders from Bali, Ketut Liyer.

"I hope they can attract each audience segment," said the producer, Dede Gardner.

Gardner said reflective film, not only because of his star players, but also because the people behind the camera, such as cinematographic Murphy and Robert Richardson (Oscar winner for The Aviator and JFK) and of course the director Ryan Murphy, who increasingly shone through the serial Glee musical.

A leader of the Catholic Church has expressed his disappointment towards the new Julia Roberts film "Eat, Pray, Love" which he said had betrayed the faith.

A spokesman from the Catholic News Service in Washington, DC told the movie fans who embrace the Catholic school failed to consider the film adaptation of best-selling novel by Elizabeth Gilbert, for which Julia Roberts plays as Gilbert also failed to seek spiritual direction catholic in Rome, Italy , at the scene of 'Eat' in the film. A movie review written by John Muldering of CNS wrote, "Although he (Roberts character) seems to visit every restaurant in town and he was just past the church, so the implication that he knows better than just looking for insight into the Catholic religion.

"News Service has been providing the film with the classification of 'L' and said the film would cause problems for devout Catholics with adult content are problematic in the search for identity. And things got worse for Catholics, Roberts, who was raised as a Catholics have recently become a Hindu after spending time at the Ashram when filming the scene "Pray" in India.

Julia Roberts claimed nearly refused new movie role in Eat Pray Love is now being played in America. This is because the mother of three was concerned with his family while he was away filming a movie which was directed by Ryan Murphy. The film adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's novel of the same name was filmed in Italy, India and Indonesia.

43-year-old actress is indeed committed to pay more attention to her husband Daniel Moder and three children to be with her while filming took place. But he could admit almost refused the role as Elizabeth Gilbert for providing stability for their children.

"This movie is a big commitment, and I know that this will require energy and seriousness to be able to go and leave my family for so long. It requires awareness and a tremendous responsibility. And what if I did not already half way like it? I almost did not do it, but I was so happy to finally be doing it all and succeed, "explained Julia as quoted from Aceshowbiz.

Eat Pray Love tells of a woman who travel around the world to discover his true identity after experiencing divorce. The film was the talk of the ground water as it took to Bali as a shooting location. In addition to this film starring Julia Javier Bardem, Billy Crudup and veteran Indonesian actress Christine Hakim.

Film Eat, Pray, Love (EPL), starring actress-actor Oscar winner, Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem, apparently unable to stem the presence of film actor Sylvester Stallone concern, The Expendables, on the steps of the movie box office.

Action film that delivers the action actors, like Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Steve Austin to Stallone himself, it immediately ranks first by collecting 35 million dollar figure.

The figure was attached to half of the revenue collected on three days EPL theaters in Japan, which reaches 23 million U.S. dollars. The amount is placed in second position, in the movie The Other Guys, who scooped this week's earnings amounted to 18 million U.S. dollars.

Scott Pilgrim vs.. the World, which also recently released movie in this week only able to penetrate the fifth digit in the box office with revenues reaching 10.5 million U.S. dollars.

Inception, the movie could become champion for a few weeks ago, had to settle for fourth position with 11.5 million U.S. dollar figures. Since its release, the film which stars veteran actor Leonardo DiCaprio, it has received total revenue reached 249 million U.S. dollars.

Crucible must face Liverpool at the start of the season. Relatively heavy schedule should dilakoni in the middle of their hunt for the title of the 19 English Premier League. That coupled with the internal condition of the club that has not been quiet.

Premier League 2010/2011 Liverpool looked determined to redeem the failure of the big four finish in the competition the previous season. Determination was also added with a target to chase the English league title that has been nearly two decades they did not achieve.

For this season, Liverpool's big enough to revamp the squad. In addition to Hodgson who handled a new manager, The Red Anyar have brought players like Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic, or Christian Poulsen. They have removed one of the pillars that Yossi Benayoun and Javier Mascherano is likely to lose.

For a team that was hunting the title, of course it's good for The Red to immediately wash the maximal point at the beginning of the season, while not 'disturbed' by the schedule in the domestic cup competitions or the European Club championships.

However, a direct heavy schedule faced by the gang at the beginning of the season at Anfield. Steven Gerrard cs have met Arsenal on 15 August. A week ago, Roy Hodgson foster children should visit to one of the clubs that have flashy players that matter Manchester City.

After 'interspersed' West Brom and Birmingham, Liverpool weight once again facing an enemy that is their perennial rivals Manchester United on 19 September.
Beginning of the season the Reds are also going a bit annoyed with the internal situation of the club, namely the entry of new investors about the rumors. But until now, related issues Anyar investors are still limited to the rumors.

For Arsenal, Arsene Wenger care team is one team that is difficult to defeat by Liverpool. In five games last official, Steven Gerrard cs never win over Cesc Fabregas et al with the details of three defeats and two draws. In a duel in the Premier League last season, Liverpool 0-1 at the Emirates and subdued 1-2 at Anfield.

Merseyside team's last victory occurred in the 2007/08 Champions League season in which Liverpool won 4-2 when it.

A mountain bike or mountain bicycle (abbreviated MTB or ATB (all-terrain bicycle)) is a bicycle created for off-road cycling. This activity includes traversing of rocks and washouts, and steep declines, on dirt trails, logging roads, and other unpaved environments — activities usually called mountain biking. These bicycles need to be able to withstand the stresses of off-road use with obstacles such as logs and rocks. Most mountain bikes use wheels with rims which are 559mm in ISO sizing, colloquially referred to as "26-inch", although the term is inaccurate as it covers too many rim and tire sizes to be meaningful. Wheels used on mountain bikes usually use wide, knobby tires for good traction on uneven terrain and shock absorption. Since 2000, front wheel suspension has become the norm and full front and rear suspension has become increasingly common. Some mountain bikes are also fitted with bar ends on the handlebars to give extra leverage for hill-climbing.

Since the development of the sport in the 1970s many new subtypes of mountain biking have developed, such as cross-country (XC) biking, all-day endurance biking, Freeride-biking, downhill mountain biking, and a variety of track and slalom competitions. Each of these place different demands on the bike requiring different designs for optimal performance. MTB development has included an increase in gearing, up to 30 speeds, to facilitate both climbing and rapid descents. Other developments include disc instead of cantilever or V-brakes.

The history of the mountain bike includes contributions from cyclo-cross in Europe and the Roughstuff Fellowship in the UK. The name "mountain bike" first appeared in print in 1966 as "mountain bicycle". The mountain bike was a modified heavy cruiser bicycle used for freewheeling down mountain trails. The sport became popular in the 1970's in Marin county, California, USA. The 2007 documentary film, Klunkerz: A Film About Mountain Bikes, looks at this period of off-road cycling in detail. However, it was not until the late 1970s and early 1980s that road bicycle companies started to manufacture mountain bicycles using high-tech lightweight materials, such as M4 aluminium, although in recent years, titanium frames have become more common but can be very expensive. . The first mass production mountain bike was the Specialized Stumpjumper produced in 1982. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, mountain biking moved from a little-known sport to a mainstream activity.

Designs

Mountain bikes can be classified into four categories based on suspension:

* Fully rigid: A frame with a rigid fork and fixed rear, no suspension.
* Hardtail: A frame with a front suspension fork and no rear suspension.
* Soft tail: A frame with small amount of rear suspension, activated by flex of the frame instead of pivots.
* Dual or full suspension: A front suspension fork and rear suspension with a rear shock and linkage that allow the rear wheel to move on pivots.

Discipline-oriented designs

There are several different styles of mountain biking, usually defined by the terrain, and therefore bikes employed. Styles of mountain bike riding and mountain bikes have evolved rapidly in recent years leading to terms such as Freeride and "Trail bike" being used to categorise mountain bikes. Definitions for the most widely used terms are listed below.


Cross country (XC) mountain bikes are designed primarily around the discipline of cross country racing. Cross country racing with its emphasis on climbing as well as speed and endurance demands bikes that are both lightweight and efficient. In the 1980's and early 1990's XC mountain bikes typically consisted of a lightweight steel hardtail frame with rigid forks. Throughout the 90's XC bikes evolved to incorporate lightweight aluminium frames and short travel (65 to 110mm) front suspension forks. Recently full suspension designs have become more prevalent, the use of advanced carbon fibre composites has allowed bike designers to produce full suspension designs under 10kg. Full suspension bikes such as the Specialized Epic and the Merida Ninety Two have been successfully used to win the World Cross Country Championships. The geometry of Cross Country bikes favours climbing ability and fast responses over descending and stability and as a result typical head angles are 70-71o

Although intended for off-road use, Cross Country mountain bikes with their emphasis on lightweight construction are not designed for use on the most steep or severe terrain.


"Trail" Bikes are a development of XC bikes that are generally used by recreational mountain bikers either at purpose built "Trail centres" or on natural off-road trails. They usually have around 5" (120-140mm) of travel, weigh 11 to 15 kilograms (24 to 33 lb) , and have geometries slightly slacker than XC bikes, though not as slack as AM bikes. Examples include The Giant Trance, the Trek Fuel EX series, the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR, and others. With less of an emphasis on weight, Trail Bikes are typically built to handle rougher terrain than dedicated XC bikes while having slacker head angles (69-680) which provides greater stability while descending.

Enduro/all-mountain (AM) bikes bridge the gap between cross-country and freeride bikes, such as the Trek Remedy series, Specialized SX Trail, typically weighing between 13 to 16 kilograms (29 to 35 lb). These bikes tend to feature greater suspension travel, frequently as much as 6 inches (150 mm) or 7" of front and rear travel, often adjustable on newer mid- and high-end bikes. They are designed to be able to climb and descend well, these bikes are intended to be ridden on all-day rides involving steep climbs and steep descents, hence the term 'all-mountain'.

Freeride (FR) mountain bikes are similar to downhill bikes, but with less emphasis on weight and more on strength. Freeride bikes tend to have ample suspension and typically have at least 6 inches (150 mm) of travel. The components are built from stronger, consequently heavier, materials. They can be ridden uphill, but are inefficient and their moderately slack head tube angles make them difficult to maneuver while angled up a hill or traveling at a low speed. They are effective on technical downhill trails. Frame angles are typically steeper than those found in downhill bikes. This enhances maneuverability over and around small objects. Freeride bikes typically range in weight from 14 to 20 kilograms (31 to 44 lb). The most durable freeride bikes are often too heavy and have too much suspension to be ridden uphill as comfortably as other less-sturdy models, although newer, more expensive bikes come with suspension specifically designed to make them easier to ride uphill.

Downhill (DH) bikes typically have seven or more inches (178 mm) of suspension travel. They are built with frames that are strong, yet light, which often requires the use of more expensive alloys. In the past few years, lighter downhill bikes have been getting below the 40lbs mark (18 kg). Due to their typically large or high gears, long, plush travel and slack geometry angles, Downhill bikes are ideal only for riding down dedicated downhill trails and race courses. Downhill bikes have the most sag of Mountain Bikes to get ample traction to go fast over bumpy trails. Head Angles are often as slack as 64 degrees. Several types of bicycle speed records have been registered downhill.

Due to the high-speed nature of downhill riding most bikes only have one chain ring in the front, a large bash guard and a chain guide, though many racers are now using chain guides without bash guards to reduce weight. Some of the most up to date designs feature internal gearboxes built directly into the frame construction, this modification eliminates the need for the rear derailleur mechanism, although this design has not been widely embraced yet.

Trials bikes are set up very specifically for the purpose of bicycle trials. Two varieties of trials bike exist, those with 26" wheels (referred to as 'stock') and those with 20" wheels (referred to as 'mod' - because historically they were modified BMX bikes). They typically have no suspension at all, though some still make use of some form of it. Competition rules require stock bikes to have multiple gears for competition, but most riders never use their shifters. Competition rules do not require mod bikes to have any gears. Many non-competitive riders run single-speed, choosing a fairly low-speed, high-torque gear. Most modern trials bikes have no seat at all, as the rider spends all of his time out of the saddle. These bikes are significantly lighter than almost all other mountain bikes, ranging from 7 to 11 kilograms (15 to 24 lb). This makes maneuvering the bike much easier.

Dirt jumping, urban and street mountain bikes lie somewhere in between a BMX bike and a freeride bike. They are typically very strong bikes, with 4 to 6 inches (100 to 150 mm) of front suspension, and rarely any rear suspension (3 to 4 inches, 76 to 100 mm, if any), with as many as nine gears or as few as one. Tires on these bikes are usually fast-rolling, slick or semi-slicks. Dirt Jumpers usually sport a geometry of 24-26" tires, as well as a bashring (a type of bashguard) replacing the largest ring on the crankset. Dirt jumpers usually have low seatposts and oversized handlebars. Most dirt jumpers have an extended rear brake cable installed and have no front brake, which allows the rider to spin the handle bars without tangling the brake cables.

Single-speed (SS) mountain bikes have one set gear ratio. The gear ratio chosen depends on the terrain being ridden, the strength and skill of the rider, and the size of the bike (a bike with 29" wheels often requires a different gearing than a bike with standard 26" wheels). Often single-speeds are fully rigid, steel-framed bikes. These are typically ridden by very fit individuals on mild to moderate cross country terrain.

Mountain cross or "4-cross racing" (4X) is a relatively new style of riding where four bikers race downhill on a prepared, BMX like, track, simply trying to get down first. These bikes are generally either full suspension with 3 to 4 inches (76 to 100 mm) of travel, or hardtails, and have, typically, quite strong frames. They run a chainguide on front and gears on the back. They have slack head angles, short chainstays and low bottom brackets to aid in cornering and acceleration.

Dual slalom (DS) is similar to mountain cross, but instead of four bikers competing together, there are just two. Courses usually have a lane for each rider, though some combine to a single lane in places or even for much of the course. The courses are in general more technical with smaller jumps compared to Mountain Cross courses and have gates. Dual Slalom races originally took place on grass slopes with gates and minimal jumps. The same bikes used in Mountain Cross are used.

Short cross or speed cross (SC) is the newest form of mountain biking. The idea is to ride short, narrow forest paths with rocks and roots, but not necessarily any ramps on them. The optimal length of the paths are from a few tens to hundreds of meters. The shortness is to provide extreme speed and thrill to get through the hindrances as fast as possible without crashing. The altitude of each path does not have to vary much. The ultimate direction of each path from vertical aspect can be either up or down. The transitions between these essential parts are to be taken lightly and stopping at the beginning of every path is to provide maximum amount of thrilling action gained through the speed. The best fitting bicycle for SC is probably lightweight, but long travel full suspension bike.

Indycross (IX) is essentially a Mountain Cross event featuring a wide variety of features run by one competitor per time.[2]

North Shore bikes are much like freeride bikes in their geometry and downhill bikes in their component makeup. Because north shore stunts have evolved to not only include simple and complex bridges but also large drops and high-speed descents through a series of stunts north shore bikes commonly have as much travel as downhill and freeride bikes, however with much more nimble and maneuverable frame designs, and often lighter weight.

Circle dirt track racing In this class of racing any kind of bikes are used, most commonly a hard tail mountain bike with front suspension. Many different modifications are made to track racing bikes, such as reducing bike weight, increasing brake power, trying different cambers (so that when the bike leans the tire is more level with the track thus creating more grip), and trying different gear ratios.

Modern designs

In the 2000s, mountain bikes often use frames designed for off-road use, which are strengthened to withstand jumps and impacts and which use a geometry that allows for much more spirited riding over obstacles like logs, rocks, and ramps. In the 2000s, mountain bikes often have either 21, 24, or 27 speeds, with 3 gears in the front and 7, 8, or 9 gears at the rear wheel. Thirty-speed mountain bikes have previously been unworkable, as the mud-shedding capabilities of a ten-speed cassette, and the intricacies of a ten-speed rear derailleur have never been suitable. However, many pro-level mountain bikers have taken to using a narrower 10-speed road chain with a 9-speed setup in an effort to reduce the weight of their bike. In early 2009, component group SRAM announced their release of their XX groupset, which uses a two-speed front derailleur, and a ten-speed rear derailleur and cassette, similar to that of a road bike. Mud-shedding capabilities of their ten-speed XX cassette are made suitable for MTB use by extensive CNC machining of the cassette. Due to the time and cost involved in such a product, they are only aimed at top-end XC-racers.

The critical angles in bicycle geometry are the head angle (the angle of the head tube), and the seat tube angle (the angle of the seat tube). These angles are measured from the horizontal, and drastically affect the rider position and performance characteristics of the bicycle. In general, steeper angles (closer to 90 degrees from the horizontal) are more efficient for pedaling up hills and make for sharper handling. Slacker angles (leaning farther from the vertical) are preferred for high speeds and downhill stability.

In the past mountain bikes had a rigid frame and fork. In the early 1990s, the first mountain bikes with suspension forks were introduced. This made riding on rough terrain easier and less physically stressful. The first suspension forks had about 1½ to 2 inches (38 to 50 mm) of suspension travel. Forks are now available with 8 inches (200 mm) of travel or more (see above under "Design.") Bikes with front suspension and rigid, non-suspended rear wheels, or hardtails became popular nearly overnight. While the hardtail design has the benefits of lower cost, less maintenance, and better pedaling efficiency, it is slowly losing popularity due to improvements in full suspension designs.

Many new mountain bikes integrate a "full suspension" design known as Dual Suspension or "full-susser", meaning that both the front and rear tire are fitted with a shock absorber in some form as the wheel attaches to the bike to provide a smoother ride as the front and rear wheels can now travel up and down to absorb the force of obstacles striking the tires. Dual suspension bikes of a similar quality are considerably more expensive, but this price increase brings an enormous off-road performance upgrade as dual suspension bikes are much faster on downhill and technical/rough sections, than other forms of the mountain bike. This is because when the wheel strikes an obstacle its tendency is to bounce up. Due to some forward energy being lost in the upward movement some speed is lost. Dual Suspension bikes solve this problem by absorbing this upward force and transmit it into the shocks of the front and rear wheels, drastically decreasing the translation of forward momentum into useless upward movement. Many bikes have dual suspension including downhill, freeride and mountain, although some bikes are built only to have front suspension e.g. dirt jump, some mountain. This makes them lighter and easier to control while in motion.

Disadvantages of rear suspension are increased weight, increased price, and with some designs, decreased pedaling efficiency, this is especially noticeable when cycling on roads and hard trails. At first, early rear suspension designs were overly heavy, and susceptible either to pedaling-induced bobbing or lockout at certain points of the suspension arc or travel, this is still the case of many bottom end bikes. One of the most popular rear suspension designs to solve these issues has been the 'Horst Link' which first appeared with the AMP series of bikes, and was later adopted by Specialized and many other mountain bike manufacturers.

While inexpensive department store-style mountain bikes often come with V-brakes, most higher-end mountain bikes produced since the mid-2000s use disc brakes. These offer improved stopping power over rim brakes under adverse conditions, because they are located at the centre of the wheel (on the wheel hub) and therefore remain drier and cleaner than wheel rims, which are more readily soiled or damaged. While the traditional cantilever and V-brake style braking system provided ample braking for fully rigid bikes and the earlier, less sophisticated suspension fork-equipped bicycles, as suspension has been created for higher bicycle speeds. Disc brakes offer the capacity for sustained heavy braking with fewer problems of brake fade than are encountered with rim brakes, allowing greater safety margins with less rider fatigue, greater modulation and therefore control.

The disadvantage of disc brakes is their increased cost and often greater weight. Hydraulic disc brakes, which work by moving brake fluid through a hose or line to squeeze the pads together, require much more technical maintenance but enjoy far more stopping power and much longer service intervals than their mechanical counterparts. Mechanical disc brakes, which are simpler and somewhat less expensive, work in a similar fashion to rim brakes by pulling one pad towards the disc with a cable, however offering around the same amount of braking force as a V-brake, meaning that the advantages of such a system are limited to the general advantages of disc brakes over V-brakes, barring of course, power - these include better performance in muddy and wet conditions, and ease of removing wheels. The braking power of a disc brake also depends on the size of the rotor. For example, an 8-inch rotor has more stopping power than an 6-inch rotor of the same design (about 33% more). This is because the brake caliper can apply more torque with the same amount of force because the larger disc provides a longer moment arm.

Disc brakes are a good choice for any type of riding, especially on wet and muddy terrain. In just about every form of MTB racing, V-brakes have become obsolete, replaced by hydraulic disc brakes - disc-brakes are a must for Downhill, as V-brakes are unable to provide the necessary stopping power. In pro-level XC racing, V-brakes have also become obsolete due to great weight reductions in hydraulic disc brakes (some sets today can weigh as little as 300 grams) and increasingly technical courses.

Most mountain bikes use 26-inch (559 mm) bicycle wheels, though some models offer 24 or 29 in (520 or 622 mm) wheels. Bicycle wheel sizes are not precise measurements, a 29 inch mountain bike wheel actually has a 622 millimetres (24.5 in)) bead seat diameter (the term, bead seat diameter (BSD), is used in the ETRTO tire and rim sizing system). 622 mm wheels are standard on road bikes and are commonly known as 700c. In some countries, mainly in Continental Europe, 700c (622 mm) wheels are commonly called 28 inch wheels.[3] 24 inch wheels are used for dirt jumping bikes and sometimes on freeride bikes, rear wheel only, as this makes the bike more maneuverable. 29 inch wheels were once used for only Cross Country purposes, but are now becoming more commonplace in other disciplines of mountain biking. A mountain bike with 29" wheels is often referred to as a 29er. Wheels come in a variety of widths, ranging from standard rims suitable for use with tires in the 26 in x 1.90 in to 2.10 in (559 x 48 to 53 mm) size, to 2.35 and 3.00 in (60 and 76 mm) widths popular with freeride and downhill bicycles. Although heavier wheelsets are favored in the freeride and downhill disciplines, advances in wheel technology continually shave weight off strong wheels. This is highly advantageous as rolling weight greatly affects handling and control, which are very important to the technical nature of freeride and downhill riding. The widest wheel widths are sometimes used by icebikers who use their mountain bikes for winter-time riding in snowy conditions.

Manufacturers produce bicycle tires with a wide variety of tread patterns to suit different needs. Among these styles are: slick street tires, street tires with a center ridge and outer tread, fully knobby, front-specific, rear-specific, and snow studded. Some tires can be specifically designed for use in certain weather (wet or dry) and terrain (hard, soft, muddy, etc) conditions. Other tire designs attempt to be all-around applicable. Within the same intended application, more expensive tires tend to be lighter and have less rolling resistance. Sticky Rubber tires are now available for use on freeride and downhill bikes. While these tires wear down more quickly, they provide greater traction in all conditions, especially during cornering. Tires and rims are available in either tubed or tubeless designs, with tubeless tires recently (2004) gaining favor for their pinch flat resistance. Tubeless tires can also be run at lower air pressures to improve traction and increasing rolling resistance. Popular tire manufacturers include Wilderness Trail Bikes, Schwalbe, Maxxis, Nokian, Michelin, Continental, Tioga, Kenda, Hutchinson Specialized and Panaracer.

Mountain bikes are available in tandem configurations. For example, Cannondale and Santana Cycles offer ones without suspension, while Ellsworth, Nicolai, and Ventana manufacture tandems with full suspension.
