The Most Expensive Car : Bugatti Veyron 16.4
Today, I decide to delete a categorization named "The Ultimate" included the content inside it from my site www.syjournal.com and moves to here. The reason is I want to concern my site for topic about internet, blog, shopping, and anything have close connection with them.
So, as the first article fill the "The Ultimate" labels in this blog, kindly presented the most expensive car 2008 (update).

High performance 16 cylinders roadster bit the top speed up to 253 mph (407 km/h) with the roof on and 224 mph (360 km/) with the roof off. State of the art design concept, hi-grade material selection and various features technology installed inside its interior, innovative transparent polycarbonate roof and hand-built manufacturing process bring it become the most expensive car today.

How Fast Your Loading Site Speed?
Some of website give us free website speed test tool. The aimed is to check and know how fast our website downloading the pages. We all don't want our visitors wait the pages opened too long times and make them leave our website. That's why the search engine like Google and Yahoo created perfectly algorithm and able to show their result under 0.5 second. That's good performance.
If you have a website, check it now. The tools give information of website loading time and some additional one. Before using this tool fix that you have deleted chache of the internet browser and turn of any accelerator programs. As the example, here is my personal website testing result :
Fill your site address into available column :
1. Iwebtool.comUsing this tool, you can test more than 1 until 10 website name at the time.
2. Pingdom.comYou can check only one by one. But this tool will give you recorded load time data historical.
3. Websiteoptimization.com
This tool is also like pingdom.com. Only able to test a single name website but it provied additional information about their analysis and recommendation like I've shown below
Analysis and Recommendations (the additional information)
- TOTAL_HTML - Congratulations, the total number of HTML files on this page (including the main HTML file) is 1 which most browsers can multithread. Minimizing HTTP requests is key for web site optimization.

Consider contacting us about our optimization services.
- TOTAL_SCRIPT - Caution. The total number of external script files on this page is 4 , consider reducing this to one or two. Combine, refine, and optimize your external script files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages.

Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary features. To give your users feedback, consider layering your page or using positioning to display useful content within the first two seconds.
- IMAGES_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your images is 506822 bytes, which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size, combining them, and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.

Why the result is different?
I don't have the answer about it. The best tool surely will give us the accurately information of the loading time. If I tested Google and Yahoo, the iweb.com and websiteoptimization.com resulting a slightly different not more than 0.1 second. The loading time for Google is around 0.22s and Yahoo is 0.55s. But using pingdom.com, the loading time reach 0.6s for Google and 1.5 for Yahoo. So significant!. I tested use those tools at very close time so this factor may neglected.
The conclusion
Certain a blog that you think it has good performance in loading time. Compare with your blog than you check the result. If yours has more second than the reference blog, you have to evaluate your server or hosting performance also the website design and content. Maybe there's too much images or graphics load and you must improve it.
Nano Science Product by Yonex
One of my favorite sport is badminton. But more than six months, I never play it again because difficult for me to match the schedule with my working time. I hope someday I would play it again.
By the way, during at the first time I knew badminton until now, I never recognize about racquet racket material technology. I believe that currently, the existed racquet products at market have been growth up in innovation. So, to get a view about this I have opened the official site of Yonex to get detail technology information. Yonex is the most famous brand and has been known worlwide as sponsor of so many international badminton and tennis championship events.
Nano technology
I just know that carbon steel is being a material selection to made racquet . The effect of carbon in overall steel composition will influence to hardness and strength characteristic. It means that more high carbon will increase the hardness and strength but it will reduce ductility. But not such a simple like that. Yonex, Japanese manufacturer had implemented to their products with technology that known as 'Nano Science' or more familiar that we called as Nano technology which learn and control about matter related to molecular or nano scale and applied at general science fields. The formed of product is always connected to the process and material. Detail analyze of molecular components could be able to manipulate of nano structures (according to chemically principle) of material to certain material characteristic.
Yonex use this technology to create more stable racquet with deformation resistance and more thinner dimension. Getting high material performance like high elasticity, strong and light in weight have been realized through precisely control over the molecular level and carbon nano particles. Nanospeed series are products designed by using nanoscience technology to meet the demand of athletes that need to support their performance in speed, defensive, attacking and counter offensive.
