Salam Maulidur Rasulullah SAW

2011-02-15T06:19:00.000-08:00

Kepada Rasulullah SAW,

Selamat hari kelahiran Ya Rasulullah. Sekali lagi aku dapat menyambut hari jadi mu. Tetapi, mengapakah hati aku masih bersedih, tatkala aku sentiasa mengakui kehebatan dan keagungan mu sebagai pemimpinku dan persuruh-Nya?

Kerana aku masih mencari cari perjalanan yang kau ajar 1400 tahun dulu.. aku masih lalai berzikir akan nama Allah berulang kali di jantung ku...

Selawat dan salam ke atas mu, Ya Rasulullah.

Stress can improve athletic skills?

2008-06-11T20:02:00.000-07:00

Salam..

It was a bit strange i think to know that little stress may improve our ability in athletic skills.An article written in MH reported that , British scientists who studied 40 collegiate athletes concluded that those who tried to quiet their nerves reduced not only their heart rates but also their confidence levels, which dampened their reflexes.The take home, skip those deep breathing exercise. Instead, go to MensHealth.com and cope for a mantra.When the athletes in the study chanted it, they were able to keep their heart rates up without feeling overwhelmed with anxiety.

source from MH Malaysia ,Cardio Bulletin , page 30.

p/s : In any sports we apply, i believe that the most important is for us to be able to know the proper breathing technique. It is because you need to control our amount intake of oxygen into your blood.If u cannot control it properly, it is most likely you will lose focus, as it will either affect phsycology or our physical body , in sports you apply.Try to google around for the method of breathing.CHEERS!

Is your girl cheating on you?

2008-06-04T03:18:00.000-07:00

ok, an interesting article i found, in Mens Health mag for May. It is one of the topic discussed for the warning signs than man cannot ignore. Quite a fun text as there are tips given by an agent from FBSI [ im not sure either it is the FBI] and i think the tips are good for u two know if the woman that u cherish your love to her, would do the same way to you. ;D ok here the notes i type what it says on how to conduct an interview that will make her divulge the truth:

*WORK FROM A "ZERO BEHAVIORAL BASELINE"

- look for sudden deviations in her usual conduct
-new hairstyle & clothes
-more concern with hygiene and fitness, prolonged absences & less interest in sex.

*IF ENOUGH SIGNS EXIST, SET A TRAP

-buy 2 same romantic cards.Send one to her at work, unsigned.
-if she's having an affair, she wont mention it, because she wont know who sent it.

*NOW "PLAY" THE SECOND CARD

-tell her u need to talk, make sure it's after the dark
-it'll make her fell more relaxed.
-sit at the table where u put the 2nd card, dont make too obvious but be sure she notices it.
-called "introducing a stressor"

*DONT CONFRONT HER WITH THE CARD

-then look her eyes & ask, "Are you having an affair?"
-study what she does next b4 u go in stronger.
-she would be stalling & probably guilty if :

1.she repeats the question
2.drops her eyes
3.look away
4.folds her arms
5.licks her lips
6.crosses her legs or pick some invisible lint off her clothing

*ASK THE QUESTION AGAIN

-you glance the card but still not fully acknowledging it.
- she becomes more agitated if has something to hide.

*FINALLY TO SPARK CONFESSION

-say this "i know we've been having problems & i dont blame you if you did this but i just want the truth."

- if she preceived as a victim, she will more likely to talk.

*DONT BE MISLEAD BY

-her denials ;D

p/s: dont make mistake of thinking everyone is honest.well, be sure to beware.it is not that we should be too concern of what are their doings, but at least just to have a security on her, just to show u love her right? peace!

POLARIZED MONSTER DOG™ FISHING SPECIFIC

2008-05-28T09:47:00.000-07:00

If you’re serious about fishing, throw away your sunglasses. Chances are you’re wearing ordinary polarized shades with yesterday’s technology. Sure, they reduce glare, but how well do they actually let you see the fish? Upgrade your gear with this special edition of MONSTER DOG™ that comes with the best polarized lenses on water.

Oakley’s HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) gives your eyes an accurate view, essential for precise casting. Our Hydrophobic lens technology keeps skin oils, sunscreen and water from corrupting vision. And to keep fish from getting an unfair advantage, we eliminate the kind of haze and distortion found in ordinary polarized lenses by bonding our filter at the molecular level.

Choose between two performance options. The first is our DEEP BLUE POLARIZED lens, perfect for the combination of bright sun and deep water where you need distinct color recognition to spot the action down below. When the water isn’t as deep, take advantage of the enhanced contrast of our SHALLOW BLUE POLARIZED lens to optimize depth perception and take the hook to the fish.

Price: $155.00

Tips for catching women eyes!

2008-05-27T21:24:00.000-07:00

ok guys.

This is a tip quoted from Malaysia Men's Health magazine on how to tackle women by eye-catching:

"After catching her eye, go in for her mind.British researches found that women aren't attracted to men who initiate eye contact and then quickly break it.An averted gaze sends the signal that you're more interested in something (or somebody) else, say the study authors.Of course, there's a fine line between a come-hither look and a creepy state.Keep it friendly by focusing on women who are close by - you'll be able to lock eyes and then immediately step up to start a conversation."

Quoted on sexbulletin, page 26 , Malaysia Men's Health magazine.

p/s : wow! i think im gonna try this someday..hihi! =D btw, catch this cool mags at nearest book store.

game show!

2008-05-25T17:29:00.000-07:00

ok i found an article about game show at wiki, not much info but still the definition is well understood.here it is from wiki :

A game show is a type of television program in which members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, play a game, which is likely to involve answering quiz questions for points or prizes. In some shows contestants compete against other players or another team whilst other shows involve contestants striving alone for a good outcome or high score. Game shows often reward players with prizes such as cash, or holidays and goods and services provided by the show's sponsors. Early television game shows descended from similar programs on broadcast radio.

Manchester United became kings of Europe for the third time on a night of high drama and emotion in Moscow as they beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw after extra time.

GettyImages

United celebrate with penalty hero goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was the hero with a penalty save to deny Nicolas Anelka after Chelsea captain John Terry had missed the chance to win the Blues the trophy by firing his own spot-kick hit the post.

The dramatic shootout looked to be going Chelsea's way after Petr Cech saved Cristiano Ronaldo's effort but Terry's miss opened the door for Sir Alex Ferguson to clinch his second Champions League crown.

As the celebrations began, you could have expected the ghosts of such giants as Duncan Edwards and George Best to be dancing with delight at the outcome.

It is 40 years since United first won the trophy with a team rebuilt by Sir Matt Busby from the survivors of that Munich disaster. Eight players lost their lives following the catastrophic events on a snow-filled German runway in February 1958.

It was fitting that United became the first English club to win the trophy 10 years later and even more apt that, half a century on, Ferguson's men had again taken on Europe's finest and beaten them all.

Their achievement was made even more poignant by Munich survivors Harry Gregg, Albert Scanlon, Kenny Morgans, Bill Foulkes and Sir Bobby Charlton, now a club director, who watched the drama unfold from the stands.

ok peeps, rite now i will post you regarding the historical background of UCL:

The tournament was inaugurated in 1955, at the suggestion of the French sports journalist and editor of L'Équipe Gabriel Hanot,^[2] as a continental competition for winners of the European national football leagues, as the European Champion Clubs' Cup, abbreviated to European Cup.

The competition began in 1955/56 using a two-leg knockout format where the teams would play two matches, one at home and one away, and the team with the highest overall score qualifying for the next round of the competition. Entry was restricted to the teams that won their national league championships, plus the current European Cup holder. This qualification system continued until 1992. In the 1992–93 season, the tournament was renamed to UEFA Champions League and in 1997/98, eligibility was expanded to include not just domestic champions but also the best performing runners up according to UEFA's coefficient ranking list^[3]. In UEFA's coefficient system, a team finishing second in the Spanish La Liga would be more deserving of an automatic place in the Champions League than a team finishing first in, for example, Polish Orange Ekstraklasa. As a result, the system was restructured to force "weaker" national champions to qualify for the group stages, while other, "stronger" national runners-up would automatically get places.

Between 1960 and 2004 the winner of the tournament qualified for the now defunct Intercontinental Cup (against the winner of the Copa Libertadores of South America). Since then, with FIFA taking over, the winner automatically qualifies for the FIFA Club World Cup with other winners of continental club championships.

BBQ!

2008-05-18T16:22:00.000-07:00

Salam peeps!

MasyaAllah, indeed it has been a long time since i entered my own blog a week ago.Apologize to all of you visitors as i was busy involving in last minute call rowing competition.Even so, it was worthy and historical because my team have managed to earn medals eventho we were grouped suddenly and were lack of practice.

Orait! for today's story, i want to post info regarding definition and fact about bbq. My relatives were gathered to celebrate this feast yesterday in conjunction with my sister's birthday.so here is about bbq~ =) :

Definition

Barbecue or barbeque^[1] (abbreviated BBQ, Bar-B-Q or Bar-B-Que or diminuted, chiefly in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom to barbie, and Braai in South Africa) is a method and apparatus for cooking food, often meat, with the heat and hot gases of a fire, smoking wood, or hot coals of charcoal and may include application of a marinade, spice rub, or basting sauce to the meat. The term as a noun can refer to foods cooked by this method, to the cooker itself, or to a party that includes such food. The term is also used as a verb for the act of cooking food in this manner. Barbecue is usually cooked in an outdoor environment heated by the smoke of wood or charcoal, or with propane and similar gases. Restaurant barbecue may be cooked in large brick or metal ovens specially designed for that purpose.

Barbecue has numerous regional variations in many parts of the world. Notably, in the United States, practitioners consider barbecue to include only relatively indirect methods of cooking, with the more direct high-heat methods to be called grilling.

A Barbecutorium is a name given to an area of a garden/terrace dedicated to watching food being cooked, moved and flicked with associated drink supping and general merriment. The BBQ grill can be either gas or coals, both qualify. The term is taken from Latin; the concept is taken from the Greek auditorium which had a series of semi-circular seating shelves in the theatre, divided by broad 'belts', called diazomata, with eleven rows of seats between each.

Etymology

The origins of both the activity of barbecue cooking and the word itself are somewhat obscure. Most etymologists believe that barbecue derives ultimately from the word barabicu found in the language of the Taíno people of the Caribbean. The word translates as sacred fire pit and is also spelled barbicoa or barabicoa.^[2] The word describes a grill for cooking meat, consisting of a wooden platform resting on sticks.

ouh, now i know [part 2 : causes & effect of boring]

2008-05-10T05:53:00.000-07:00

salam peeps!

It has been days for not placing my fingers, tapping on the keyboard. I was busy arranging stuff that need to be scheduled on time. Even so, i have to urge my body to do something of not to bore me down during my semester break session.

AhhA! Talking about bore, here is some info on causes n effect of boredom.hehehe~

Boredom is an emotional state experienced during periods of lack of activities or when individuals are uninterested in the activities surrounding them.

Although it has not been widely studied, research on boredom suggests that boredom is a major factor impacting diverse areas of a person's life. People ranked low on a boredom-proneness scale were found to have better performance in a wide variety of aspects of their lives, including career, education, and autonomy.

Boredom can be a symptom of clinical depression. Boredom can be a form of learned helplessness, a phenomenon closely related to depression. Some philosophies of parenting propose that if children are raised in an environment devoid of stimuli, and are not allowed or encouraged to interact with their environment, they will fail to develop the mental capacities to do so.

In a learning environment, a common cause of boredom is lack of understanding; for instance, if one is not following or connecting to the material in a class or lecture, it will usually seem boring. However, the opposite can also be true; something that is too easily understood, simple or transparent, can also be boring. Boredom is often inversely related to learning, and in school it may be a sign that a student is not challenged enough (or too challenged). An activity that is predictable to the students is likely to bore them.

Boredom has been studied as being related to drug abuse among teens.

Boredom has been proposed as a cause of pathological gambling behavior. A study found results consistent with the hypothesis that pathological gamblers seek stimulation to avoid states of boredom and depression.

world's longest sea bridge !

2008-05-05T18:54:00.000-07:00

A 22-mile bridge that its builders claim is the world's longest sea-crossing structure was formally linked-up Tuesday just south of the business hub of Shanghai.

The bridge links Shanghai to the industrial city of Ningbo across Hangzhou Bay, cutting the distance between them from about 250 miles to just 50 miles.

Officials welded together a final section to complete the link at a ceremony attended by several hundred workers from the various companies building the bridge.

The Chinese sea bridge which will cut travel by 200 miles

Costing 11.8 billion yuan (£0.77 billion), the structure will open to traffic next year following completion of the six-lane roadway that will permit vehicles to travel at speeds of up to 62 miles per hour.

The bridge, a mix of viaducts and cable-stayed spans to allow shipping to pass beneath, lies just south of the Yangtze River Delta, one of China's most economically vital regions which is undergoing a massive construction boom aimed at boosting transport links.

Just north of Shanghai, builders this month connected the final link in a 20.13-mile bridge across the Yangtze, said to be the longest cable-stayed structure of its kind.

The world's longest sea bridge looks spectacular, set against the morning sky

The 20.2-mile Donghai Bridge had been the previous longest sea-crossing structure, linking Shanghai to the massive Yangshan deep water port.

Construction on the Hangzhou Bay Bridge began in 2003 with a percentage of its financing coming from private sources, a first for such a large Chinese infrastructure project.

Montre F1 Carbon GMT Watch

2008-05-05T11:53:00.000-07:00

warghh! its 3 am in the morning n i havent fall asleep yet! i might find out to get swollen eyes next morning..haha~

ok, just surf the internet, found this astonishing new produced F1 watch.Read the rest of the article :

Montre F1 Carbon GMT Watch

Sick of all those typical analog watches that claim to represent a driver or team? That claim to have the same material and construction methods as they do in building a F1

car even if the only thing made out of it are the dials, oh and they almost always have a well known driver to back them up. Well people, let us introduce you to the F1/Carbon GMT concept.

Yes it claims to be F1 status it also claims to be made out of F1 material but the thing

is, it really is made out of F1 standard material, as a matter of fact

the entire thing is made out of carbon fiber, metal and rubber, the very thing real F1 cars are made of. And to lend to the F1 glamour, its studded with rubies and Swarovski crystals. And another thing that is really similar to F1 is the exorbitant costs and staying true to that fashion, this F1 watch is priced deep into five figure territory.

p/s the digital display also happens to tell you the time at any of the 18 race tracks on the 2008 F1 calendar. Want one yet?

Salam peeps!

it has been awhile for not blogging as it kind of making me feel awkward. So, to redeem ur eagerness of waiting to know what i am going to post today, i think i might want to share a movie ive watched with my little brother recently, FORBIDDEN KINGDOM, plyed by 2 famous martial art-actors, none than the others, Jackie and Jet Li. ok here is some info synopsis of it from TGV:
Synopsis

While hunting down bootleg kung-fu DVDs in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason (played by Michael Angarano - "Will and Grace", LORDS OF DOGTOWN, SEABISCUTT) makes an extraordinary discovery that sends him hurtling back in time to ancient China. There, Jason is charged with monumental task: he must free the fabled warrior the Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the evil Jade War Lord. Jason is joined in his quest by wise kung fu master Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) and a band of misfit warriors including Silent Monk (Jet Li). But only by learning the true precepts of kung fu can Jason hope to succeed - and find a way to get back home.

so overall A OKAY laa...there were scenes yang lawak plus with kungfu actions, should be awarded with two thumbs up! but for me, that boy kene tukar dgn actor lain la.it should be played w someone yg lebih homourous. so that ppl in cinema will tend to give more laugh.awek chinese tu ok la..cun jugak..hihihi~

a fact about swimming...

Is Swimming a Good Exercise for Weight Loss?

There is no doubt that swimming is good exercise. But - is it a good exercise choice if your primary goal is to lose body weight? Apparently NOT, according to research on swimming and weight loss reported on by Louise Burke:

Many people feel like "eating a horse" after they finish a swim session, and may eat more calories than they just used during that swim.
Swimmers may be so tired from the training that they sleep, sit or otherwise do generally nothing outside of their swimming workouts.

The on-line Merck Manual explains that swimming may not be the best way to lose weight due to the cooling effects of being in the water: while you do use a lot of calories swimming, once you get out of the pool much of that calorie burning stops. Why? Because when you are in the pool you don't heat up as much as you do on land, and your body does not have to work to cool you down as much once the exercise session concludes. Swimming does exercise almost the entire body - heart, lungs, and muscles - with very little joint strain. Swimming is great for general fitness, just not the best way to drop excess pounds.

jom talk about toys (part 3)

2008-04-26T14:00:00.000-07:00

TROLL DOLLS!

Troll dolls, originally known as Leprocauns and also known as Dam dolls, Gonks, Wishniks, Treasure Trolls, and Norfins, became one of America's biggest toy fads beginning in the autumn of 1963, and lasting throughout 1965. With their brightly colored hair and cute faces, they were featured in both Life Magazine and Time magazine in articles which commented on the "good luck" they would bring to their owners.

Trolls became fads again in brief periods throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with as many as ten different manufacturers (such as Russ Berrie, Jakks Pacific, Applause, Hasbro, Mattel, Nyform, Trollkins and Ace Novelty) creating them.

HISTORY

Originally created in 1949 by Danish woodcutter Thomas Dam, the dolls became popular in several European countries during the early 1960s, shortly before they were introduced in the United States. The originals, also called "Dam Dolls", were of the highest quality, featuring sheep wool hair and glass eyes. Their sudden popularity, along with an error in the copyright notice of Thomas Dam's original product, resulted in cheaper imitations and knock-offs which flooded the American and North American shelves.

These imitations, also known as Uneeda's Wishnik Trolls, Treasure Trolls, Gonks, Norfins, and other trade names, commonly shared the signature tall hair and shiny navel gem. It was not until 2003 that a Congressional law allowed the Dam family of Denmark to restore their original U.S. copyright^{[citation needed]} and become the only official manufacturer once again.

Many people collect trolls; the originals maintain the highest value. Some collectors have thousands of troll dolls, ranging in size from miniature gumball machine prizes and pencil toppers to dolls over one foot tall.

The Pursuit of Happyness

2008-04-25T22:55:00.000-07:00

The Pursuit of Happyness is a 2006 American biographical film directed by Gabriele Muccino about the on and off-homeless salesman-turned-stockbroker Chris Gardner. The screenplay by Steven Conrad is based on the best-selling memoir of the same name written by Chris Gardner with Quincy Troupe.

Plots

The film begins in 1981 in San Francisco, California. Linda and Chris Gardner live in a small apartment with their son, Christopher. Chris has invested the family's life savings in a franchise selling portable bone density scanners. These scanners provide slightly denser pictures than X-rays, but most of the doctors Chris visits find that they are too high-priced. Linda works in a dead-end job in a local hotel laundry. The tension between them mounts as unpaid rent and bills continue to accumulate. Chris often parks his car in disallowed areas so he can make scheduled appointments on time, and after parking tickets remain unpaid, their car is impounded. After missing a shift at her job, Linda finally leaves with their son Christopher, returns briefly, then departs for New York City, where a better job awaits her, leaving behind the boy at his father's request.

Chris accepts an unpaid internship at brokerage firm Dean Witter Reynolds that promises employment to only one trainee at its conclusion. His lack of salary and failure to sell more scanners leaves him riddled with debt, he and his son eventually become homeless. After spending several nights riding buses and sleeping in subway restrooms, saddled with their meager belongings, they begin lining up at the Glide Memorial Church on a daily basis in an effort to secure accommodations for the night. Sometimes they succeed, other times they literally are left out in the cold. As he struggles to provide a semblance of a family life for his son under the most dire of circumstances, Chris becomes more determined to complete the intern program and become the sole trainee the firm will hire.

P/s: kalau korang realize, at the end of the last chapter of the movie, there is a scene showing will and jayden walking together calmly, while jayden is making knock knock jokes, along the san francisco road rite? haa, if u notice, there is a black bald guy tiba tiba walking by in a nice suit, as will give a glimpse at him..if korang didnt know, that bald guy la the REAL CHRIS GARDNER..he has now become a millionaire stock broker tau..salute la!

kind of a great movie to watch with full emotions and inspirations!

World’s youngest professor, aged 19.

2008-04-25T04:15:00.000-07:00

Perhaps in Alia Sabur’s wildly advanced studies she came across a famous quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

“Knowing is not enough. We must apply,” the German writer once observed.

That could serve as explanation for what prompted the 19-year-old to become the youngest college professor in history.

Armed with prodigious wisdom, Sabur told TODAY’s Ann Curry on Wednesday that knowledge is power — especially when sharing it.

“I really enjoy teaching,” said Sabur. “It’s something where you can make a difference. It’s not just what you can do, but you can enable a lot of other people to make their changes.”

Sabur, from Northport, N.Y., has clearly been ahead of the learning curve since an early age.

She started talking and reading when she was just 8 months old. She had elementary school finished at age 5.

She made the jump to college at age 10. And by age 14, Sabur was earning a bachelor’s of science degree in applied mathematics summa cum laude from Stony Brook University — the youngest female in U.S. history to do so.

Her education continued at Drexel University, where she earned an M.S. and a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering.

With an unlimited future ahead of her, Sabur directed her first career choice to teaching. She was three days short of her 19^th birthday in February when she was hired to become a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, Korea.

This distinction made her the youngest college professor in history, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, beating the previous record held by Colin Maclaurin in 1717.

Maclaurin was a student of physicist Isaac Newton. Sabur said she is merely gravitating toward putting what she has learned to good use.

“I really feel I can help a lot of people,” she said.

At Konkuk University, Sabur said she will take part in classroom instruction, but will also focus on research into developing nanotubes for use as cellular probes that could help aid in cures for diseases.

Although she doesn’t start until next month, Sabur has taken up teaching math and physics courses at Southern University in New Orleans, which is still struggling from the devastation left in Hurricane Katrina’s wake in 2005.

“Some people come and they do Habitat for Humanity and they build houses, but I don’t think I would be very good,” she said. “So I tried to do what I’m good at. I was particularly interested in this university because they are still in trailers after Hurricane Katrina. And I thought it could be something I do to help.”

In New Orleans, Sabur is old enough to teach, but not to join her fellow professors in a bar after work. In Korea, where the drinking age is 20, she might have more luck. In traditional Korean culture, children are considered to be 1 year old when they are born, and add a year to their age every New Year instead of their actual birthday, so in Korea Sabur is considered 20.

Varied interests
On top of her unprecedented academic achievements, Sabur has a black belt in the Korean martial art of tae kwon do and is also a music prodigy. She has been playing clarinet with orchestras since her solo debut at age 11, playing with recording artists Lang Lang and Smash Mouth.

“You can reach a lot of people with music,” Sabur told Curry. “It’s never been really a hobby to me. It’s always been on equal par with my academics.”

So is there anything Sabur can’t do?

Well, apparently she struggles with basketball and with long writing and admits to sometimes being absentminded.

In fact, sometimes she forgets just how special she really is.

“Well, I know that what I’ve done is special and I think about it,” she said. “But sometimes I forget, because I’m used to it and I don’t think about it all the time. Actually, sometimes it takes other people to remind me a little bit.”

Druzhba pipeline, longest oil pipeline

2008-04-23T23:43:00.000-07:00

The Druzhba pipeline (Russian: нефтепровод «Дружба»; also had been referred as the Comecon Pipeline) is the world's longest oil pipeline, it carries oil some 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi) from southeast Russia to points in Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, and Germany.^[1] The name "Druzhba" means "friendship", alluding to the fact that the pipeline was intended to supply oil to the energy-hungry western regions of the Soviet Union, to its "fraternal socialist allies" in the former Soviet bloc, and to western Europe. Today, it is the largest principal artery for the transportation of Russian (and Kazakh) oil across Europe.

Techical features

The Druzhba pipeline currently has a capacity of 1.2 to 1.4 million barrels per day. Work is currently underway to increase this in the section between Belarus and Poland. The pipes of the pipeline varies from 420 millimetres (17 in) to 1,020 millimetres (40 in).^[3] It uses 20 pumping stations.

edo competition ; car-tuned specialist

2008-04-23T23:17:00.000-07:00

edo competition Motorsport GmbH, one of the top names in sophisticated modifications of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche cars is now introducing the brand new “edo 630 Scuderia” aerodynamics package for the Ferrari 599 GTB!

The aim was to underline the perfect shapes of the Ferrari 599 GTB and to adapt the aerodynamics to higher top speed and meet the increased cooling demands caused by the improved power output without compromising the styling of the car.

The flow-optimized front apron features an enlarged cooling air inlet which improves the engine’s thermal balance. The larger center inlet also provides cool air for the brakes, thereby increasing their service life and fade resistance. In addition to that the front spoiler lip improves downforce on the front axle.

The newly developed side skirts reduce crosswind sensitivity and improve wheel arch ventilation in combination with the new rear apron. To achieve this, a new undertray with a wider diffuser – now with 6 blades – was mounted on both sides to enhance rear axle downforce at high speeds. Additionally a carbon fiber lip is mounted on the trunk lid to provide extra stability and rear downforce.

Naturally all parts are made from ultra-lightweight carbon fiber, which means a weight reduction of nearly 50 kg (110 lb) is a welcome side effect of this aerodynamics package.

today i cooked BURGER!! nyum nyum~

2008-04-22T04:31:00.000-07:00

salam peeps!

it was very find day this morning, when the birds were chirping, with flowers menjadi mekar, until one time i felt like to step into my mothers kitchen ,intended to make burgers! hehehe~

ok here is a few info about burgers..

Hamburger also refers to the cooked patty of ground meat by itself.^[2] The patty alone is also known as a beefburger, or burger. Adding cheese makes it a cheeseburger. Hamburger is actually a distinct product from ground round and other types of ground meat. However, ground beef of any form is often commonly referred to as "hamburger." A recipe calling for 'hamburger' (the non-countable noun) would require ground beef or beef substitute- not a whole sandwich. The word hamburger comes from Hamburg steak, which was named after the German city of Hamburg. Contrary to what folk etymology might lead one to believe, there is no actual 'ham' in a hamburger.

p/s: so, the burgers pictures taken were basically cooked by myself for 5 ppl, altho my cooking area was a bit messy..hahaha~ what else can u expect from me who never cook neatly?? might call it "MESSY BERGER" =P well, i enjoyed my food very much.with added ingredients such as mayonis, eggs for each, sayur kobis unggu, tomato, it was superbly fantastico! wallllah~MESSY BERGER! merci merci~

TAMIYA!! [i likee~~]

Tamiya Incorporated (株式会社タミヤ, Kabushiki gaisha Tamiya) is a Japanese manufacturer of plastic model kits, radio controlled cars, battery- and solar-powered educational models, sailboat models, acrylic and enamel model paints, and various modeling tools and supplies. The company was founded by Yoshio Tamiya in Shizuoka, Japan in 1946 .

The metal models were produced from plans which had the concept of being, "Easy to understand and build, even for beginners." Even the box art was consistent with this throughout the company. It had the best developing power in Japan. In the same vein as everybody being able to build the models, they made the parts accurate and with a high degree of detail.

The company has gained a reputation among hobbyists of producing models of outstanding quality and accurate scale detail, a philosophy reflected directly on the company’s logo “First in Quality Around the World” as well as winning on a regular basis each year, the prestigious Modell des Jahres (Model of the Year) award, hosted by the German magazine Model Fan.

BARBIE!! [ tho i hate it a lot...]

Barbie is a best-selling fashion doll launched in 1959. The doll is produced by Mattel, Inc., and is a major source of revenue for the company. The American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916-2002) is regarded as the creator of Barbie, and the doll's design was inspired by a German doll called Bild Lilli.

Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for nearly fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle. In recent years, Barbie has faced increasing competition from the Bratz range of dolls.

New blood for Devils

2008-04-17T20:09:00.000-07:00

LONDON: Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson has already identified £40mil of new talent to help sustain his stranglehold on the Premier League.

The Red Devils are on the verge of retaining their title and hold a five-point lead over Chelsea with just four League games to go this term.

And Ferguson has set his eyes on four young stars ahead of next season.

Portugal and Sporting Lisbon stars Miguel Veloso and Joao Moutinho are top of the shopping list.

And Ferguson is also targeting Wigan aces Wilson Palacios and Antonio Valencia.

His assistant Carlos Queiroz has been on scouting missions over the last few weeks to run the rule over all four players.

Last summer Ferguson had finished his transfer business almost as soon as the team secured the title – and this year looks to be no different.

Moutinho, 21, has 11 caps for Portugal and his quick-footed, artistic style is perfectly suited to United.

Veloso, also 21, is a more defensive midfielder who can also play as a centre-half or as a full-back. He has five Portugal caps to his name.

United have a terrific relationship with Sporting Lisbon and bought current stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani from the side.

Queiroz watched the Sporting players in their UEFA Cup defeat to Rangers last week.

And it is believed that United have first refusal on the young stars but the champions-elect know they will need to shell out around £30mil for the pair.

Before his trip to Lisbon, Queiroz watched Wigan’s game with Birmingham where £6mil-rated midfielder Palacios, 23, and £4mil winger Valencia, 22, starred in a 2-0 win.

Palacios has been a key figure in Wigan’s relegation battle since his January switch from Honduran side Olimpia.

Wigan boss Steve Bruce also signed Palacios on loan when he was the manager of Birmingham earlier this season.

Valencia moved to Wigan after impressing for Ecuador in the 2006 World Cup.

Last season United forked out £80m for Anderson, Nani, Owen Hargreaves and Carlos Tevez.

But this year Ferguson wants to improve the depth of his squad and will give the new youngsters time to make their mark at Old Trafford.

While midfielder Anderson has made a big impact in the Premier League and in Europe this season, winger Nani has been used more sparingly.

Ferguson knows his starting team is as strong as he could hope for and it would be difficult to improve.

So now he is eyeing long-term replacements for veterans Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville.

Nani is seen by many as the long-term successor to Giggs and Moutinho is considered a perfect replacement for Scholes. – The Sun. London

Rowing (sport)

2008-04-16T19:38:00.000-07:00

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rowing is a sport in which athletes race against each other on river, lakes or on the ocean, depending upon the type of race and the discipline. The boats are propelled by the reaction forces on the oar blades as they are pushed against the water. The sport can be both recreational, focusing on learning the techniques required, and competitive where overall fitness plays a large role. It is also one of the oldest Olympic sports. In the United States, Australia and Canada, high school and collegiate rowing is sometimes referred to as crew.

BASICS

While rowing, the athlete sits in the boat facing backwards (towards the stern), and uses the oars which are held in place by the oarlocks to propel the boat forward (towards the bow). This may be done on a river, lake, sea, or other large body of water. It is a demanding sport requiring strong core balance as well as physical strength and cardiovascular endurance.^[2]

Whilst the action of rowing and equipment used remains fairly consistent throughout the world, there are many different types of competition. These include endurance races, time trials, stake racing, bumps racing, and the side-by-side format used in the Olympic games. The many different formats are a result of the long history of the sport, its development in different regions of the world, and specific local requirements and restrictions.

There are two forms of rowing. In Sweep or Sweep-oar rowing, each rower has one oar, held in both hands. This is done in pairs, fours and eights. Each rower in a sweep boat is referred to either as "port" or "starboard", depending on which side of the boat the rower's oar extends to. In areas such as the UK, the port side is usually referred to as stroke side, and the starboard side as bow side; this applies even if the stroke oarsman is rowing on bow side and/or the bow oarsman on stroke side.

In sculling each rower has two oars (or sculls), one in each hand. Sculling is usually done without a coxswain, in quadruples, doubles or singles. The oar in the sculler's right hand extends to port (stroke side), and the oar in the left hand extends to starboard (bow side).

Audi RS6, V10, 580hp, not bad..

2008-04-16T19:17:00.000-07:00

The Audi RS6 Avant is Audi’s most powerful car ever, and although it is only set to be in the showrooms in April next year, Audi is giving us a preview at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Audi RS6 Avant is powered by a 5.2 liter twin-turbocharged V10 FSI engine that is loosely based on the normally aspirated V10 unit in the S6 and the S8.

Up from the 400-odd in the S-line Audis, the new RS6 engine puts out 580 horsepower peaking between 6,250rpm and 6,700rpm and 650Nm of peak torque available all the way from 1,500rpm to 6,250rpm. This power is channelled through a 6-speed tiptronic automatic to all four-wheels thanks to Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive. Translated into acceleration figures, this means 4.6 seconds to 100km/h and 14.9 seconds to 200km/h.

The engine uses a compression ratio of 10.5:1 which is particularly high for a forced inducted engine, thanks to FSI direct injection which delivers precisely metered amounts of fuel to the combustion chamber - this avoids knocking. It also uses a dry-sump lubrication system which ensures all parts of the engine including the turbochargers are well-lubed despite constant lateral acceleration of 1.2g.

The scorching estate rides on a sports suspension equipped with Dynamic Ride Control, which reduces pitching and rolling movements without the aid of electronics - instead only the laws of fluid dynamics comes into play. With Dynamic Ride Control, shock absorbers are connected diagonally via two oil lines and two control valves. Uneven road surfaces will produce flows of oil which will generate additional damping force at whichever absorber which needs it. The suspension system uses a four-link front suspension and a trepezoidal-link rear suspension.

The quattro system splits power between the front and rear wheels at a ratio of 40 to 60 in it’s basic setting. Steering is via a speed-sensitive servotronic system. There is also an ESP system with a sporty setting that intervenes later, and it can also be completely deactivated.

The RS6 Avant comes with standard steel brakes, but there is an optional ceramic brake system which calls for larger 20-inch wheels (standard are 19 inch). The tyres for the 19 inch and 20 inch wheel options are 225/40R19 and 275/35/R20 respectively.

Seriously, it’s not very often you can say you’ve got a car that accelerates this fast but yet still has a maximum of 1,660 liters of luggage space, unless you have the M5 Touring of course. I can see why there’s a market for these cars.

Harga besi meningkat, projek RMK-9 terjejas

2008-04-16T06:19:00.000-07:00

KUALA LUMPUR 15 April - Projek pembinaan dalam Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan (RMK-9) akan terjejas jika harga besi keluli yang kian meningkat tidak diatasi segera oleh kerajaan.

Presiden Persatuan Kontraktor Melayu Malaysia (PKMM), Senator Datuk Roslan Awang Chik berkata, kerajaan harus segera mengambil tindakan mengharamkan eksport besi dan membenarkan import bahan itu menerusi pasaran terbuka sekiranya bekalan berkurang.

"Pihak kontraktor hari ini terpaksa menanggung kos tambahan antara RM900 sehingga RM1,000 setiap tan daripada harga kawalan kerajaan iaitu RM2,225 hingga RM2,419 untuk mendapat bekalan besi keluli", katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini hari ini.

Menurut Roslan, kenaikan itu menyebabkan banyak kontraktor mengalami kesulitan dalam menyiapkan projek-projek terutama yang ditawarkan oleh kerajaan di bawah RMK-9.

"Ketidakmampuan membayar harga yang terlalu tinggi untuk besi dapat mengakibatkan tindakan penamatan kontrak oleh kerajaan," tambahnya.

Kenaikan itu, menurut beliau disebabkan oleh kekurangan bahan mentah yang di pasaran dan sikap sebahagian pengeluar yang ingin meraih keuntungan berlebihan.

Sementara itu, Presiden Persatuan Pemaju Hartanah dan Perumahan Malaysia (REHDA), Ng Sieng Liong mendesak pihak berkuasa dan Persatuan Industri Besi Keluli Malaysia (MISIF) menyiasat dan menjelaskan tentang perbezaan harga besi dari China yang 30 peratus lebih murah daripada harga bahan binan itu di pasaran tempatan.

"Kita perlu tahu dengan jelas kenapa perbezaan harga tersebut boleh terjadi.

"Untuk sementara ini, kami meminta supaya kerajaan membenarkan import besi dari luar negara dan mengharamkan eksportnya bagi menyeimbangkan harga pasaran bahan binaan itu," katanya.

Mikael eyes silverware

2008-04-15T20:32:00.000-07:00

“The Barcelona tie is huge. It’s a big step but when you reach the semi-final stage you expect to play a big club. I think we have what it takes to go all the way to the final."

– Mikael Silvestre

15/04/2008 11:06, Report by Nick Coppack

Fit again Mikael Silvestre says he's ready to play his part in United's bid for domestic and European glory.

A spectator for much of the 2007/08 campaign after injuring knee ligaments at Goodison Park in September, the Frenchman made his return in United's 2-0 win over AS Roma.

The 30-year-old says he was delighted to be back on the pitch, taking part in the kind of football he had savoured for so long from the stands.

“It’s been great football to watch,” Silvestre told Manchester United Radio. “The boss encourages the side to play attacking football, which suits the fans and the English game.

“I’ve been particularly happy with how the team have been performing at the back. There’s a good understanding between the players, whoever’s been playing there. I think we deserve to be top of the league because we don’t concede many goals.”

Silvestre, who's hoping to play a major role in United's bid for silverware, confirmed he emerged unscathed from his first outing in the senior squad for almost seven months.

“Physically I felt quite good [against Roma],” he said. “Even the day after I was fine.

“Walking out of the tunnel before the game was very special and I was really looking forward to getting back on the pitch.

“It’s always a pleasure to come back from injuries, especially in front of a full house on a European night.

Micheal Schumi Falls Off Bike

April 16, 2008

Michael Schumacher on Monday was unhurt in a 80kph fall as he continued his foray into the world of motorcycle racing.

Bild newspaper claims that the fall, at the Lausitzring circuit in Germany, was one of three falls in total for the former champion since he began regularly sampling the thrills of two-wheeled action.

On Monday, the 39-year-old was testing an IDM (German Superbike) Honda when he crashed. “This sort of thing happens,” he told Bild.

Schumacher’s other falls reportedly occurred in April, at the Bresse circuit in France.

His wife, Corinna, told the Frankfurt newspaper FAS that she will not forbid Schumacher from riding.

“Michael knows exactly what he is doing,” she said. “I trust him absolutely and will not begrudge him his fun.”
