| Parīze - Divi torņi / Paris - The two towers | | 2008-07-15 10:19:35 | | Pabiju pie diviem pašiem augstākajiem Parīzes veidojumiem.Vecais dzelzis Eifeļa tornis – tūristu apsēsts un pārāk augsts tādai mazai vāverei, kā es. ;) Monparnasas tornis – drūms un depresīvs likās. Tā, ka gribas bēgt uz mežu pilnīgi...The two tallest buildings in Paris. The old piece of steel Eiffel Tower – overcrowded by tourists and too high for a little squirrel like me. ;)Tour Montparnasse – seemed too dismal and depressive. I felt like I want to flee to the forest…

| The taller towers of tomorrow | | 2008-04-28 19:15:00 | | The taller towers of tomorrow“…The world has a new tallest building. Last week it was announced that, rising above the desert coast of the Persian Gulf, the Burj Dubai became taller than any other structure on the planet. And it's not even due to stop climbing until 2009. According to a press release issued by its developers, Burj Dubai currently stands at 629 meters, at least one meter taller than the KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota, which has held the mantle of world's tallest structure on and off since 1963. Burj Dubai is already taller than the CN Tower (553.33m), the tallest free-standing structure in the world and Taipei 101 (508m), the world's tallest building which has floors throughout… The exact final height of the Burj Dubai is a closely guarded secret, anything between 700m and 818m (the latter making it roughly twice the height of the Empire State Building) is reported. It is also reported that its total number of habitable floors will be around 162. The arrival of the | | By: ChileSoc | | |

| Kevin Towers: Padres' resident genius? | | 2007-08-15 17:55:00 | | If you’re going to Las Vegas any time soon, take Padres general manager Kevin Towers with you.Why? It seems like everything he touches turns into a winner.Just take his recent acquisitions for example and tell us how:Scott Hairston hits three consecutive home runs, including a game-winner, after he replaces the injured Milton Bradley.Morgan Ensberg homers in his first at bat as a first baseman when Adrian Gonzalez gets a rare night off.Michael Barrett doesn’t succeed behind the plate, but his presence spurs Josh Bard on to greater heights.Then there are the pitching miracles:Tim Stauffer starts in place of the injured Chris Young and gets racked. The Padres still win.Wil Ledezma starts for David Wells after Wells is cut, and Ledezma gets knocked around. The Padres win again.The list goes on and on concerning how the Padres have conquered the odds this year.Speaking of odds, don’t bet against Towers when he makes moves that may not appear that great on paper. | | By: San Diego Sporting | | |

| Sac Towers Officially Dead | | 2007-06-12 03:46:36 | | The Sacramento Towers are now officially a dead deal. Dead in terms of what we were all expecting in height and what had gained International acclaim.
This project unfortunately was a financial fiasco, became stalled once construction costs sky rocketed and then CALPers backed out.
This would have been the iconic project that would have put Sacramento on the map and changed our skyline. It would have been the tallest building on the West coast. However, as the plans stand, this Towers project is officially dead.
The Sacca offices are closed, locked and empty. The investors whose money has been tied up in escrow with the Title company will be returned by Friday according to the Sacca office. In fact, I am told that Sacca himself has been calling the investors.
The huge ugly hole will have to wait until CAL Pers makes a statement as to what they plan to do with the hole and what if any relationship they will have with Sacca. This statement is said to occur by Wedne | | By: Sacramento Real Estate Voice | | |
