Sex Addiction?

Seriously guys, I was in shock a couple days ago when I tune in to telly for the morning news just to found out the headlines for that day sports news was “Tiger Woods check himself in to a rehab facility to cure his sex addiction”. I was like, give me a break! What so sporty about that, by the way? Why would you put something like that as a sports news headline?
For those who don’t understand or might not follow, let me introduce to you about what am I talking about. These past few weeks, everyone in “gossip industry” was spoiled by the news about some set of adulteries did by the number one sportsman in the world, Tiger Woods. Of course, everyone was in shock, just like me. All the girls from his infidelities histories (yup, it’s plural) suddenly came out and spoke out. And no, they didn’t come out empty handed, oh no…they didn’t. A bunch of evidence were on their hands such as pictures and phone conversations tape. I wonder how did they manage to get all of those? Hah!
The incidence was started with a car crash the golfer had when he hit the tree in front of his house. His wife for some reasons slammed the glass window with a golf club, she quoted that was to help him to get out of the car. Did I hear someone say, ‘yeah right!’? And as a normal day in American life, the neighbor who heard the noise and was ‘concerned’ about that, called 911. I mean…seriously, if this happened somewhere in England or other countries, I bet thing was different. I bet the neighbor might watched what happened behind their closed curtains but no one would came out or called the Police. Come on, obviously that was a domestic problem so it’s better if we just let them solve it behind closed door, right? Nope, this is America, you guys! You call 911 over everything! Hah! Shortly, the police came and the news spread. What a worst nightmare to be happened to such a brilliant sportsman. Not that am a big fan, but I do respect anyone who done such a good job in sports. And to be in the spotlight over something stupid like that, totally a worst of the worst.
And yeah, the media never been easy on anything like this. They were digging the hole even deeper and deeper. And suddenly, the pictures of all of those girls were everywhere. A sixty minutes of fame, an over night publicity came to those girls over a humiliation of a great man in golf. What a shame! And to make it worse, the headline on the sports news also mention all the details. I feel sorry for the golfer and thought that it was right move for him to just keep quite and didn’t make any statement what so ever. But as we all know, he wasn’t alone in this thing. He sure has got a management to deal with his images and stuffs. I don’t mean to blame anyone in this such a disastrous, but for a guy to admitted that he has an addiction for sex and agreed to check himself to a rehab facility then came forward and spoke out to the media, that was hurt! Even for a great golfer like Tiger! As I said, am not a big fan, but I think everyone had gone too far in this case. I think it took more than just cheated on your partner to make you a sex addict. You sure are an unfaithful guy, but a sex addict? Na-ah. Come on, give the guy a break, will you? He’s not just a number one sportsman in the world, but he was also a hot guy. And with all of those million dollars he made, of course, he was entitled to flirt once in while, don’t you think so?

Time For Miracle

Seven-times Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher has come out of retirement and signed for Mercedes. The German, who will be 41 on 3 January, was unveiled at the Mercedes factory in Brackley, Northamptonshire. Schumacher will partner compatriot Nico Rosberg in the team that won the drivers' and constructors' titles in 2009 in its former guise as Brawn.
Schumacher retired at the end of 2006 but will now return to the sport he dominated after signing a three-year deal with Mercedes. He will reportedly earn £6.2m after reuniting with Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn, who masterminded all seven of his titles, the first two with Benetton in 1994-5 and the subsequent five with Ferrari from 2000-4. Schumacher was forced to call off a planned temporary comeback as a stand-in for injured Ferrari driver Felipe Massa in the summer because of a neck injury sustained in a motorcycle accident last February. But Schumacher recently underwent medical checks and is confident he is back to full fitness.
This summer Schumacher signed a revised contract as a consultant for Ferrari, but the Italian team have had to release him from his contract to enable him to race for the "Silver Arrows". Schumacher revealed that it was Ferrari's request for him to fill in for Massa that sparked a desire to make a permanent return to the cockpit. Schumacher revealed he had spoken to Brawn in November about a potential return to F1 and that the return of the Mercedes name to F1 proved the final persuasion.
Mercedes have completely changed their driver line-up following world champion Jenson Button's departure to McLaren and Rubens Barrichello's move to Williams. The team are known to want German rising star Sebastian Vettel in the long term, but the 22-year-old is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2012. Rosberg signed for Mercedes shortly after the season and, after weeks of speculation, Schumacher arrives as his high-profile team-mate.
Schumacher's comeback is the most high profile in F1 since Austrian Niki Lauda came out of a two-year retirement for the 1982 season to race for McLaren. Lauda, who was 33 at the time, went on to win a third world title in 1984. Juan Manuel Fangio is Formula 1's oldest world champion, the Argentine won a fifth world championship at the age of 46 before retiring. Nigel Mansell won the 1994 Australian Grand Prix at the age of 41, having stepped in as a substitute for Williams for four races following the death of Ayrton Senna. Now, Schumacher has said that he intends to make a glorious comeback by challenging for the 2010 world championship.
Schumacher's decision brings his career to a neat conclusion - Mercedes, for whom he was racing in sportscars at the time, paid for his F1 debut with Jordan in 1991 but he has never raced for them in F1. Mercedes pulled out of F1 in 1955 after winning back-to-back titles with Juan Manuel Fangio.
The impression gained is that the German wants to pick up where he left off with Ferrari when he retired in 2006. Those suggesting that he may see his role more as a mentor to Nico Rosberg, the 24-year-old who would be his team-mate, than a team-leading championship contender, are wide of the mark. He is said to be looking to add not only to his record 91 grand-prix wins, but also to his unparalleled haul of seven drivers’ titles and he has already spent many hours discussing his new car with the Mercedes team.
The last time we saw Michael Schumacher driving a Formula One car was at the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2006, when he stole the show on a day that was supposed to be dominated by Fernando Alonso winning his second successive world title.
Schumacher was imperious in São Paulo as he scythed through the field after dropping to twentieth with a puncture early in the race before finishing fourth, passing Kimi Raikkonen, his successor at Ferrari, with three laps to go for good measure. We thought then that we were watching the final drama of the most successful career in Formula One and that the man with seven world titles and 91 grand-prix victories would never race again.
The German legend was at the top of his game that day and was calling a halt to his career possibly prematurely, but few could have foreseen that he would return. Some judges wonder why Schumacher is prepared to risk his reputation again. How sad it would be, they argue, to see a champion trying to repeat his days of greatness at the age of 41 — as he will be at the start of next season — and make a fool of himself.
Some sportsmen try comebacks as part of a personal road to redemption or a mission to prove that they can recover after losing their way in the real world. Drugs, alcohol, marriage breakdown or depression are sometimes features in the background. This is not the case with Schumacher — his neck injury apart. Hard for me to admit this, but yeah...he is the man he always was and is ready to prove that even drivers in their forties can take on the best and win.
Some of the Ferrari fans were went ballistic though, knowing that their hero chose to drive to their bitter rival Mercedes. But the German already made his decision, so they have to eventually deal with their disappointment. Luckily, am not one of them. Nor that I will consider to become one of them now that the guy I hate wasn’t connected to the team any longer, NOPE. For me, the image of him and the Italian auto-maker is still there for some reasons. Hey, am a freak, so what?
Will he be as quick as he was? Eddie Irvine, his former team-mate at Ferrari, doubts it. So do I. But Schumacher is not the most successful driver of all time just because of his speed. As much as I don't like him in person, but everyone (yeah, including me even) knew that he has one of the most astute technical minds on the grid, he knows how to wring every ounce of performance out of a car and he is among the best tacticians in the sport. It may take him a few races to get up to speed, but get ready for a thrilling ride. Who knows? Miracle does happen sometime, don’t you think so?

Welcome To The Tallest Building In The World

Since the dawn of history man has been trying to build the 'tallest building', 'tallest tower' or 'tallest structure' in the world. There seems to be much prestige in being home to the worlds tallest. So much in fact that this is a major issue on the political agenda of many countries. Many towers claim the title, and many cities quarrel about who is the winner. During the first 90 years of this century, the USA dominated the race for the title of the tallest building in the world, and constructed a range of famous buildings that, sometimes only for a few months, and sometimes for many years, were widely recognized as being the 'tallest building' in the world. In 1974 Chicago's Sears Tower was completed, and generally seen as the 'tallest building' in the world. Sears held on to that title for over 20 years. But since the nineties the USA gets some stiff competition from Asia. In 1996 this resulted in the completion of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. From that moment on a sort of media clash was unleashed. All over the world people debated about the question which one was the tallest; Sears or Petronas. Now the answer to this question seems so easy. Just measure both buildings from bottom to top, and the tallest one gets the title. Question answered, case closed, no more debate needed? Forget it! As usual, life is not that simple. One could consider how to measure these buildings. For example, do we take in account spires and antennas? To end this discussion, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat made a compromise. They defined 4 categories for measuring tall buildings;

- Height to the structural or architectural top.
- Height to the highest occupied floor.
- Height to the top of the roof.
- Height to the top of antenna.

Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة "Khalifa Tower"), formerly known as Burj Dubai, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is, at the moment, the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft). Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009 and the building officially opened on 4 January 2010. The building is part of the 2 km2 (490-acre) flagship development called Downtown Burj Khalifa at the "First Interchange" along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district. The tower's architect and engineer is Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, LLP (Chicago). Bill Baker, the Chief Structural Engineer for the project, invented the buttressed core structural system in order to enable the tower to achieve such heights economically. Adrian Smith, who worked with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) until 2006, was the Design Partner on the project.

The primary builder is South Korean Samsung C&T, who also built the Taipei 101 and Petronas Twin Towers, followed by Belgian group Besix and Arabtec from UAE. Turner Construction Company was chosen as the construction project manager. Under UAE law, the Contractor and the Engineer of Record are jointly and severally liable for the performance of Burj Khalifa. Therefore, by adoption of SOM's design and by being appointed as Architect and Engineer of Record, Hyder Consulting is legally the Design Consultant for the tower.

The total budget for the Burj Khalifa project is about US $ 1.5 billion; and for the entire new "Downtown Dubai", US $ 20 billion. Mohamed Ali Alabbar, the CEO of Emaar Properties, speaking at the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat 8th World Congress, said that the price of office space at Burj Khalifa had reached US $ 4,000 per sq ft (over US $ 43,000 per m2) and that the Armani Residences, also in Burj Khalifa, were selling for US $ 3,500 per sq ft (over US $ 37,500 per m2). The completion of the tower coincided with a worldwide economic slump and overbuilding, causing it to be described as "the latest...in string of monuments to architectural vacancy."

Though unconfirmed, Burj Khalifa has been rumored to have undergone several planned height increases since its inception. Originally proposed as a virtual clone of the 560 m (1,837 ft) Grollo Tower proposal for Melbourne, Australia's Docklands waterfront development, the tower was redesigned with an original design by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill discussed below. Marshall Strabala, an SOM architect who worked on the project until 2006, recently said that Burj Khalifa was designed to be 808 m (2,650 ft) tall.

The design architect, Adrian Smith, felt that the uppermost section of the building did not culminate elegantly with the rest of the structure, so he sought and received approval to increase it to the currently planned height. It has been explicitly stated that this change did not include any added floors, which is fitting with Smith's attempts to make the crown more slender. However, the top of the tower has a steel frame structure, unlike the lower portion's reinforced concrete.

Emaar Properties announced on 9 June 2008 that construction of Burj Khalifa was delayed by upgraded finishes and would be completed only in September 2009. An Emaar spokesperson said "The luxury finishes that were decided on in 2004, when the tower was initially conceptualized, is now being replaced by upgraded finishes. The design of the apartments has also been enhanced to make them more aesthetically attractive and functionally superior." A revised completion date of 2 December 2009 was then announced.

The tower is designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, which also designed the Willis Tower in Chicago, Illinois and 1 World Trade Center in New York City, among numerous other famous high-rises. The building resembles the bundled tube form of the Willis Tower, but is not a tube structure. Its design is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's vision for The Illinois, a mile-high skyscraper designed for Chicago.
According to Marshall Strabala, an SOM architect who worked on the building's design team, Burj Khalifa was designed based on the 73-floor Tower Palace Three, an all-residential building in Seoul, South Korea. In its early planning, Burj Khalifa was intended to be entirely residential.

Subsequent to the original design by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Emaar Properties chose Hyder Consulting to be the Supervision Consultant, Engineer and Architect of Record, for its structural, facade and MEP engineering capability (MEP – mechanical, electrical and plumbing, and encompasses all fire and life safety systems within the building). In this role Hyder Consulting re-engineered structural, facades and MEP systems to suit the contractor's and local authority requirements. Hyder Consulting was also responsible for the geotechnical design of Burj Khalifa's foundations with Hyder's own geotechnical specialist, Grahame Bunce heading up a design team that included the world-renowned soil mechanics expert Harry Poulos in a peer-review role. Emaar Properties has also engaged GHD, an international multidisciplinary consulting firm, act as an independent verification and testing authority for concrete and steelwork.

The design of Burj Khalifa is derived from patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture. The design architect Adrian Smith has said the triple-lobed footprint of the building was inspired by the flower Hymenocallis. The tower is composed of three elements arranged around a central core. As the tower rises from the flat desert base, setbacks occur at each element in an upward spiraling pattern, decreasing the cross section of the tower as it reaches toward the sky. There are 27 terraces in Burj Khalifa. At the top, the central core emerges and is sculpted to form a finishing spire. A Y-shaped floor plan maximizes views of the Persian Gulf. Viewed from above or from the base, the form also evokes the onion domes of Islamic architecture. During the design process, engineers rotated the building 120 degrees from its original layout to reduce stress from prevailing winds. At its tallest point, the tower sways a total of 1.5 m (4.9 ft).

The spire of Burj Khalifa is composed of more than 4,000 tones of structural steel. The central pinnacle pipe weighing 350 tones was constructed from inside the building and jacked to its full height of 143 meters using a strand jack system. The spire houses plant and facilitates for communications equipments.

More than 1,000 pieces of art will adorn the interiors of Burj Khalifa, while the residential lobby of Burj Khalifa will have the artwork of 196 bronze and brass alloy cymbals representing the 196 countries of the world. The visitors in this lobby will be able to hear a distinct timbre as the cymbals, plated with 18-carat gold, are struck by dripping water, intended to mimic the sound of water falling on leaves.
The exterior cladding of Burj Khalifa consists of 142,000 m2 (1,528,000 sq ft) of reflective glazing, and aluminum and textured stainless steel spandrels panels with vertical tubular fins. The cladding system is designed to withstand Dubai's extreme summer temperatures. Additionally, at its projected height the exterior temperature at the top of the building will be 6 °C (11 °F) cooler than at its base.

Over 26,000 glass panels were used in the exterior cladding of Burj Khalifa. Over 300 cladding specialists from China were brought in for the cladding work on the tower.

The hotel interior will be decorated by Giorgio Armani. An Armani Hotel, the first of four by Armani, will occupy 15 of the lower 39 floors. Floors through to 108 will have 900 private residential apartments (which, according to the developer, sold out within eight hours of being on the market). An outdoor zero-entry swimming pool will be located on the 76th floor of the tower. Corporate offices and suites will fill most of the remaining floors, except for a 123rd floor lobby and 124th floor (about 440 m (1,440 ft)) indoor and outdoor observation deck. Burj Khalifa is expected to hold up to 25,000 people at any one time. A total of 57 elevators and 8 escalators are installed, the fastest rising and descending at up to 10 m/s (33 ft/s). Engineers had considered installing the world's first triple-deck elevators, but the final design calls for double-deck elevators.

The graphic design identity work for Burj Khalifa is the responsibility of Brash Brands, who are based in Dubai. Design of the global launch events, communications, and visitors centers[44] for Burj Khalifa have also been created by Brash Brands as well as the road show exhibition for the Armani Residences, which are part of the Armani Hotel within Burj Khalifa, which toured Milan, London, Jeddah, Moscow and Delhi.

To wash the 24,348 windows, a horizontal track has been installed on the exterior of Burj Khalifa at levels 40, 73 and 109. Each track holds a 1.5 tone bucket machine which moves horizontally and then vertically using heavy cables. Above level 109, up to tier 27 traditional cradles from davits are used. The top of the spire, however, is reserved for specialist window cleaners, who brave the heights and high winds dangling by ropes to clean and inspect the top of the pinnacle. Under normal conditions, when all building maintenance units will be operational, it will take 36 workers three to four months to clean the entire exterior facade. Unmanned machines will clean the top 27 additional tiers and the glass spire. The cleaning system was developed in Australia at a cost of A$8 million.

Outside, and at a cost of Dh 800 million (US$217 million), a record-setting fountain system was designed by WET Design, the California-based company responsible for the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake in Las Vegas. Illuminated by 6,600 lights and 50 colored projectors, it is 275 m (900 ft) long and shoots water 150 m (490 ft) into the air, accompanied by a range of classical to contemporary Arabic and world music. On 26 October 2008 Emaar announced that based on results of a naming contest the fountain would be called the Dubai Fountain.

The tower was constructed by a South Korean company, Samsung Engineering & Construction, which also did work on the Petronas Twin Towers and Taipei 101. Samsung Engineering & Construction is building the tower in a joint venture with Besix from Belgium and Arabtec from UAE. Turner is the Project Manager on the main construction contract.

The primary structural system of Burj Khalifa is reinforced concrete. Over 45,000 m3 (58,900 cu yd) of concrete, weighing more than 110,000 tones (120,000 ST; 110,000 LT) were used to construct the concrete and steel foundation, which features 192 piles, with each pile is 1.5 meter diameter x 43 meter long buried more than 50 m (164 ft) deep. Burj Khalifa's construction used 330,000 m3 (431,600 cu yd) of concrete and 55,000 tones of steel re-bar, and construction took 22 million man-hours. A high density, low permeability concrete was used in the foundations of Burj Khalifa. A cathodic protection system under the mat is used to minimize any detrimental effects from corrosive chemicals in local ground water.

The previous record for pumping concrete on any project was set during the extension of the Riva del Garda Hydroelectric Power Plant in Italy in 1994, when concrete was pumped to a height of 532 m (1,745 ft). Burj Khalifa exceeded this height on 19 August 2007, and as of May 2008 concrete was pumped to a delivery height of 606 m (1,988 ft), the 156th floor. The remaining structure above is built of lighter steel.

Burj Khalifa is highly compartmentalized. Pressurized, air-conditioned refuge floors are located approximately every 35 floors where people can shelter on their long walk down to safety in case of an emergency or fire.

Special mixes of concrete are made to withstand the extreme pressures of the massive building weight; as is typical with reinforced concrete construction, each batch of concrete used was tested to ensure it could withstand certain pressures.

The consistency of the concrete used in the project was essential. It was difficult to create a concrete that could withstand both the thousands of tones bearing down on it and Persian Gulf temperatures that can reach 50 °C (122 °F). To combat this problem, the concrete was not poured during the day. Instead, during the summer months ice was added to the mixture and it was poured at night when the air is cooler and the humidity is higher. A cooler concrete mixture cures evenly throughout and is therefore less likely to set too quickly and crack. Any significant cracks could have put the entire project in jeopardy.

The unique design and engineering challenges of building Burj Khalifa have been featured in a number of television documentaries, including the Big, Bigger, Biggest series on the National Geographic and Five channels, and the Mega Builders series on the Discovery Channel.

So, I don't know about you, guys...but for me, it was a definite next holiday destination. Can you imagine, not just we're at the tallest building in the world, but I was more excited about what kind of view would you get from it? Wow! It would be even more complete though, if we can do some extreme things up there...no, am not talking about making love, OMG...that's gross! I was thinking about bungee jump or sky walk, like the one they have on Macau Tower. What do you think? I said, superb! See you there, guys!

Love And Lies

I hope I won’t get sue by my dear friend because the title of this blog is actually his new clothing line, but hey, I didn’t use the shorten mark for ‘and’ so it makes it a little bit different, right? Aha!
Here is the thing, another dear friend of mine was always has a difficulty to trust anyone. Every time I said something to him, he was like always accused me of lying. So, at the end I was like, “I know why do you have a doubt to every words I said. It was because of you were always lie to others so that you thought everyone did the same to you.” Surprisingly, he admitted it. Oh well, at least he said, ”Yeah, maybe you’re right.” Then I was like, “OMG, so these whole times, the whole things you said to me were all lies?” And guess what his answer to my accusation was? He was like, “Nope, I never lie to you, I lie to my girlfriend…yeah. But not to you.” What a big BS was that? Then he was like, “I don’t have to lie to you because I don’t have to hide anything from you. We’re not together. I only lie to my girlfriend.” Seriously, I still remember the mischievous smile on his face that night. Man!
Okay, call me a naïve or stupid or whatever, but, this thing was kind of confused me. These whole times I thought the opposite way. I thought we were not supposed to lie to our love ones as we were not supposed to hide anything from them. Not vice versa. I don’t know, maybe that was just me and my stupidity. Oh no, don’t get me wrong. I am not trying to say that I am a saint who was always say the truth to my partner, of course, I lie sometime. Oh well, I don’t mean to preach anyone here as for me everything was just about a matter of choice whether you want to lie or not. As long as you know what you’re doing, go for it. Only, of course you have to realized that everything has its own consequential. So if you think you can handle it, hands up! You’re the man!
Back to my dear friend, here is my question, was that just him or could it be a typical of men in general? Honestly, I feel sorry for his girl as am a girl too. I can not imagine if someone I love said something like that behind my back. But, in the other hand, this guy is a dear friend. A very dear one, if you know what I mean. We told each other everything. But yeah, as a friend, I think it’s my job to convince him to quit his lying habit. But no, I won’t ask him to always tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Because believe it or not, I do believe in white lies. If our intentions was to protect others’ feeling, then am sure God will understand. Hey, He’s the guy who knows everything, isn’t He? So, He sure do know our intentions every time we lie, right? In fact, He supposed to be the first one to know and to understand it. And for my own understanding, am sure my dear friend’s intention was to protect his girl’s feeling, so he wont hurt the girl he loves. Aaah, what a great guy he is! That is why I love him, hah! Speaking of love, one lesson I’ve got today was how thin the line between love and lies is. OMG, I think that is why my dear friend chose those words as his new label then. Because of the philosophy behind them! Aha!
