German 4 England 1

Germany crushed England, 4-1, in the round of 16 in Bloemfontein this afternoon, adding Fabio Capello’s team to a World Cup roll of dishonor that includes Italy and France.

Miroslav Klose sounded the alarm in the 20th minute when he latched on to keeper Manuel Neuer’s long goal kick to breach the England defense and fire past David James. Thirteen minutes later, Lukas Podolski capped a fine move by Klose and Thomas Muller to shoot through the legs of James. England rallied briefly — Matthew Upson headed past Neuer in the the 37th minute and the English were denied a clear equalizer when Frank Lampard’s shot crashed off the underside of the crossbar and over the line.

Any English hopes of a rally were destroyed in the second half by a composed and poised German team that absorbed English pressure and attacked on the break. Muller scored twice in the 66th and 70th minutes to complete the rout.

Next, german will meet argentina for quater final.

german over ghana....congratulations!!!!

Germany beat Ghana 1-0 after a second-half goal from Mesut Oezil to win Group D and set up a second-round World Cup clash with traditional rival England.

Ghana also advanced despite Wednesday's loss at Soccer City and became the first African team to make the round of 16 at the first World Cup held on the continent.

"It was a tense game. We could have made more out of our opportunities," Germany coach Joachim Loew said. "We were not very precise up front. But I can't blame my young players, there was a lot of pressure, we had to win. And now we are really looking forward to England

Germany honored its status as favorites to win Group D with an electric performance at Durban Stadium, in Durban. The defensive-minded Aussies, the oldest team in the tournament, were shelled by the German attack, which ran roughshod all evening. Lukas Podolski started the scoring with a powerful goal in the eighth minute. Miroslav Klose knocked in his 11th career World Cup goal in the 26th minute. Australian midfielder Tim Cahill was shown red in the 56th minute and, as expected, things got no better for the Socceroos. Thomas Muller added a third goal in the 67th minute and Cacau scored in the 70th, two minutes after coming on as a substitute.

garage sale

saya memang suka barangan 2nd hand ni dan masa duduk sunway dulu biasa gak pegi garage sale kat amcorp mall yang masa tu pun baru nak hidup tapi la ni tempat tu dah terkenal especially setiap hujung minggu untuk acara garage sale yang mendapat sambutan yang baik dari kalangan penduduk. Bila duduk SU ni kira malas la nak pegi sana kira dah jauh la tapi alhamdulillah sekarang dah mula jadi trend untuk buat jualan 'garage sale' atau car boot sale dan aku pasti tertunggu next program yang akan di adakan.

Unique building

ING Group Headquarters
Amstelveenseweg 500
Amsterdam
The Netherlands

Meyer & Van Schooten Architecten 2002

This building is for the ING (banking) Group and is used as their headquarters. As a headquarters building, it is required to represent the ideals of the company, which are fast moving, transparency, innovation, eco-friendliness, and openness.


Meyer & Van Schooten Architecten were awarded the project after a competition that ING Group organized. A number of young Dutch architects were invited by ING Group to participate in the competition.

The main portion of the building is elevated off the ground by stilts that range in height between 9 to 12.5 meters. Due to the proximity to the A10 ring road (the main highway in Amsterdam), people traveling along it have a good view of the building. Also with elevated height the offices' view will not be obstructed the elevated A10 ring road.

The majority of the building has glass as the façade to give the building a high level of transparency and openness. In order to avoid heat loss or overheating as a result of the amount of glass on the façade, a double skin system is incorporated. The 2 layers of glass sandwich a layer of still air to control the temperature differences between the inside environment and the outside. This configuration also helps to reduce the noise coming in from the A10 ring road.

The combination of the tilting stilts on the bottom and the overall shape of the building, it makes it look as if the building is in motion.

The shape of the building has earned a few nicknames for it - "shoe", "space ship", and it even has a resemblance to walking city in Archigram. No matter what the nickname, the building has definitely become one of the landmarks for the city.
