This is the Jabulani, the official match ball for FIFA World Cup 2010, is a ball with a mind of its own. The ball was criticized by many as it will unpredictably change direction whilst in the air. Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon also commented that it was sad that a competition so important as the world championship will be played with such inadequate ball. Many players and team coaches also criticized the ball for its unpredictable flight path.
Design:
The Jabulani is made up of a completely new design. It is made up of eight thermally bonded, three-dimensional panels. The ball was textured using a technology invented by Adidas, called "Grip 'n' Groove".

Abs Fitness To Get 6-Pack Abs
Man does not get six-pack abs on crunches alone. While the first prehistoric man to sport ridges on his underbelly (after he got rid of the scales) was probably very active, his mastodon meals were loaded with protein, and he didn't have to worry about highly processed foods. Considering he had a brain the size of a small lemon, his ab-friendly nutritional regimen wasn't the result of forethought; rather it was a series of small strategies he incorporated unconsciously. That's what we have come up with for you: 12 small nutritional tweaks that are so painless, you won't take notice of them until your stomach begins to look like the back of a stegosaurus, and the local women start migrating to your cave without requiring the customary club-strike to the backs of their heads.
1 Don't cut too much fat. It may be tempting, in your quest for perfect abs, to completely embargo all fat, but it's not wise. In research conducted at Harvard University Medical School, subjects on a low-calorie, moderate-fat weight-loss diet were able to stay with the program longer and adhere to it more closely than those who cut fat out altogether. Stick with Mediterranean-style fats such as olive oil, fish, nuts and avocados, which do not promote heart disease or cancer, but do have health benefits such as lowering your cholesterol and protecting your joints.
2 Use nonfat dairy products high in calcium. Substituting nonfat milk for whole milk is a no-brainer, but clearing out all that saturated sludge is just one of the pluses. Scientists at the Department of Nutrition at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, found that subjects who included nonfat calcium sources in their diets lost more body fat than calcium-free subjects.
3 Drink more water. For years you have heard doctors, nutrition experts, personal trainers and MEN'S FITNESS apostles say you need to drink eight 8-ounce of glasses of water a day. This is great advice for maintaining overall heath and ensuring optimal performance, but if you can swallow a bit more, you can burn extra fat. In a study published in the journal Metabolism, subjects who hyperhydrated experienced greater lipolysis, the burning of stored fat. Water helps mobilize fat stores, while dehydration prompts stubborn fat to sit tight (or, more accurately, sit loose). Many weight-loss experts believe that drinking one ounce of water (or any noncaffeinated, nonalcoholic beverage) per pound of body weight is the formula for effective fat burning.
4 Avoid carbonated beverages. If you're trying to lose fat, full-sugar sodas should be one of the first things you banish from your diet. However, many bodybuilders and other physique competitors stay away from carbonated drinks, even diet ones, as they believe the beverages cause bloating and water retention, perhaps due to the sodium content.
5 Replace starches with vegetables. While we don't endorse voguish carb-restricted diets, it is true that many people overeat carbs, especially processed ones. Try cutting your usual portions of rice, potatoes or pasta in half, substituting a cup of a vegetable such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans or zucchini. While a cup of white rice contains 240 calories, a cup of mixed steamed vegetables has only 50.
6 Don't eat a big evening meal. A lot of guys harbor the false notion that skipping meals during the day will help them shed pounds. However, this inevitably leads to massive bingeing at night, which is a sure way to put on flabby pounds. Instead, eat your bigger meals earlier in the day and progressively downsize the later it gets. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition showed that calories eaten in the morning are much more likely to be used for energy than calories eaten at night, which easily go unused and are stored as fat.
7 Creatine helps burn fat. For years creatine has been used to pump up muscles, but it also helps burn calories. A study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine showed that creatine can help you burn an extra 100 calories a day. Try five grams a day, taken after your workout, for at least six weeks.
8 Vary your caloric intake. Instead of eating the same thing day in and day out, try this: Eat very strictly two days a week and moderately three days a week, then give yourself a little slack on the weekends. (We said a little.) The opportunity to splurge a bit makes it easier for you to stay on a low-calorie intake for longer periods. It also sends your body mixed signals, never giving it the chance to kick in its primitive survival mechanism that stores fat when calories are cut back.
9 Pump up the protein. When you decrease your total calories, you need to increase your protein intake an extra 20 percent to maintain your muscle mass and keep your metabolism in high gear. For a guy who weighs 180 pounds, this computes to 36 grams of protein a day. Calorically, this won't make much of a difference; it's only an extra 144 calories.
10 Make some of it casein protein. Casein protein, found in milk and cottage cheese, is a slow-burning protein that takes more time to break down than whey. By staying in your system for a longer period, it provides your muscles with a steady stream of amino acids, helping maintain your muscle mass and thus keeping your fat-burning furnace stoked.

Hello! Here is a video showing how to get big arm. Arm have 2 parts, one is the biceps, and another is triceps. Biceps i had already posted few days ago. Now is the triceps turns! :)
Most of us have weak triceps, so i suggest that we should start with light weight for the video above. This is to prevent your elbow getting hurt.
After this workout, we should be move on to dips to further strength our triceps.
For those who do the tricep exercise for the first time, you will feel a great pain on your tricep, but its okay. This mean that your muscle is growing. Alrights, i will end here. My next post will be on shoulder. :)
This World Cup 2010 Seems To Be Not That Enjoyable Compared To Year 2002 & 2006. From What I Can Recalled, Brazil The 5 Years Championship Lose To Holland Which Does Not Even Hold A Single Champion Before. Nevertheless, Italy & France Met In World Cup 2006 Final But They Never Even Enter Quarter Final In This World Cup 2010. What Actually Went Wrong? I Can Only Say That Italy, France & Brazil Have No Good Team Management Therefore They Led To Failure. I Am Already Looking Forward To World Cup 2014 In Brazil. Which Team Actually Stays In My Mind For The World Cup 2014? For Me, I Love Spain Since I Small Therefore I Support Spain All The Way. But Germany Always Let Me Give Them A 'Thumb Up' For Their Matches. Their Formation And Players Are Truly Amazing. I Pretty Love To See The Combination Of Thomas Mueller And Miroslav Klose. Once They Tag Team, I Can Say They Hold The Highest Chances Of Winning. Without One Of Them, They Might Lose The Game.
That's All For Today! I Shall End Here. Signing Off, Yue Kai <:
