Top 9 Photos from the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final

2010-07-15T05:52:00.000-07:00

It wasn't the best match of this World Cup or one of
the greatest finals ever, but it was a fiery one, with two
fantastic goalkeepers and one fantastic Andres Iniesta, who rose
up to the occasion in the two most crucial games, scoring home
the winner for Spain in the 116th minute, handing them their
first ever World Cup trophy and complete a two year double along
with their Euro trophy from 2008. Here are the best moments
from last night -

Shades of WWE:

Howard Webb pulled out 14 yellow cards, the most ever in a
World Cup Final. One was issued here to Nigel De Jong after drop
kicking Xabi Alonso.
This should have been a red.

Arjen Robben had two fantastic one on one chances with Casillas.
The Spanish keeper came out on top twice. Robin Van Persie?
Head like to forget 2009-2010 and especially this World Cup,
despite reaching the final. One goal in seven matches was
way below expectations.

I Believe I can Fly<

Iker Casillas had a fantastic match, and a great tournament,
conceding only two goals in seven matches, shades of Italy in 2006.
Puyol didn't have the best of games last night, but that
doesn't change the fact he has a huge part in this historic

A Hero's Touch

Andres Iniesta isn't a prolific goal scorers, but he's done it
for Barcelona against Chelsea in the Champions League,
and now for Spain on the biggest stage of all, the World Cup Final.
Van der Vaart can only look.

Never Forget

Andres Iniesta celebrated his goal by pulling off his shirt and
revealing the writing Dani Jarque Siempre con nosotros
Meaning Dani Jarque, always with us. Dani Jarque played for Espanyol
and was a close friend of Iniesta. He died last year after suffering
a heart attack at the age of 26.

It's never too late to Argue:

Joris Mathijsen, down 1-0 in the final minutes of extra time,
had time to argue with Howard Webb about something. He got a card.
Webb isn't the most popular figure in Holland after yesterday,
when he did seem to slightly favor the Spanish side on the 50-50 calls.

Never Let Go:

When you win, a big one, and there's nothing bigger than last night,
you want to hold one to every moment and everything, forever.

For the First Time, World Champions:

There are Losers, Too:

Wesley Sneijder had a fantastic World Cup and almost completed
a perfect year after winning the treble with Inter. Almost.
To be so close to perfection and World Cup glory is nothing less
than heartbreaking.

Psychic Octopus Predicting FIFA Fotball Matches Results

2010-07-12T05:17:00.000-07:00

An Octopus in Germany is stunning soccer fans around the world with his remarkable ability to predict the outcome of German World Cup games. Paul, a mollusk in Oberhausen, has correctly picked the result of all three German games so far. Most recently, the savvy octopus foresaw that Germany would edge Ghana to advance to the tournament's knockout stage, according to Sky News.

The prized prophet informs humans of his prediction by choosing between two boxes, each containing a delicious snack and decorated with a World Cup country's flag. Paul correctly picked Germany to conquer Australia in their first game, and he even called Serbia's shocking upset against the Germans.

The sea-bound seer faces a unique challenge for his next selection. Paul was born in England, and thus has deep allegiances to each team. It may never be known which team Paul will be rooting for, but he will predict a winner on Friday.

Scroll down for photos of Paul prognosticating.

He picked Spain over Germany in the semi-final.

Paul, from the Sea Life Aquarium in the western city of Oberhausen, chose a mussel from a jar with the Spanish flag instead of one with a German flag.

The two-year-old cephalopod has become a national celebrity.

Beautiful Paintings of a Blind Artist

2010-07-10T23:41:00.001-07:00

The story of this blind artist is extraordinary and unbelievable. Professional CPA with a photographic memory, Lisa Fittipaldi lost her vision due to a vascular disease in 1993. She lost her job too, but overcame blindness and began painting in 1995. Her paintings are so colorful and bright; it’s hard to believe that they were drawn by a blind person who can’t even see colors or distance. The main challenge to Lisa was when she was told she could never create complex scenes of everyday life with people as main characters. But she managed to do so, and today her paintings are exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. Fittipaldi is a unique artist with an amazing inner vision. You can judge for yourself after the jump.

Dead Whale Exploded on Beach, The Netherlands

2010-07-06T03:28:00.000-07:00

On July 10th, 2008, a 18 metres long life size sculpture of a sperm whale made from wood, aluminium and polyester lies on the beach of Scheveningenis. This gigantic state of the art was made by artist Zephyr (alias of Dirk Claesen) and is meant to promote the collection of the museum Muzee Scheveningen.

The sperm whale (Physeter Catodon) is the largest of all toothed whales, making them the Earth’s largest living carnivore and largest living toothed animal. The whale was named after the milky-white waxy substance, spermaceti, found in its head and originally mistaken for sperm

Japanese Neon Lamp Fights

2010-07-06T03:10:00.000-07:00

You have to hand it to the Japanese, they know violence sells and they market it like no other country can.

But this has to be the dumbest sport in history, two fat guys pounding each other with neon-rods until they’re both soaked in blood? I have no idea what this sport is called or who came up with the idea, but apparently it’s very popular in the Land of the Rising Sun, despite it’s obvious stupidity. I’d rather watch some K1 or UFC any day, this is just like wrestling only with real blood.

I wonder if those lamps are mercury free…if they’re not, do the fat guys know they could die from mercury poisoning?

Grimpoteuthis New Species Found

2010-07-06T03:02:00.000-07:00

The new species Grimpoteuthis found in the Atlantis Ocean. It is octopuses of the genus Grimpoteuthis are also known as “Dumbo octopuses” from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their head-like bodies, resembling the ears of Walt Disney’s flying elephant. They are bathyal creatures, living at extreme depths: 3000-4000 meters, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species. They can flush the transparent layer of their skin at will, and are pelagic animals, as with all other cirrate octopuses. Let’s check it out…
They hover above the sea floor, searching for worms, bivalves, pelagic copepods, and other crustaceans. They move by pulsing their arms, shooting water through their funnel, or by waving their ear-like fins.
They can use each of these techniques separately or all simultaneously. The males and females are different in their size and sucker patterns. The females lay eggs consistently, with no distinct breeding season.

Natures Amazing Colors - What Blue Means

2010-07-04T00:35:00.000-07:00

Our perceptions of colors affect and influence us on scores of levels” sub-consciously, emotionally, mentally,

open skies and magnificent seas.

Using Blue

Blue is frequently used to promote products and services related to cleanliness and purity cleaning liquids and
water purification filters air and sky for airlines, airports, and air conditioners, or water and sea such as bottled
waters and ocean voyages.

As opposed to emotionally warm colors like red, orange, and yellow; blue is linked to consciousness and intellect.
Use blue to suggest precision when promoting high-tech products.

Blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it’s often used in bedrooms.

Dark blue is associated with depth, expertise, and stability, so it’s a preferred color for corporate America.

Colors that are traditionally considered masculine colors or that appeal most strongly to a rare more closely
associated with men can be good choices for marketing messages, Web sites, and interior designs targeting men.

Avoid using blue when promoting food and cooking, because it suppresses the appetite.

When used together with warm colors like yellow or red, blue can create high-impact, vibrant designs, such as a
blue-yellow- red color scheme for a superhero.

no longer in operation €” the area is now the site of an ambitious Superfund project, and the vegetation and
soil are recovering.

Relations in Food

Although blue is one of the most popular colors, it’s one of the least appetizing. Studies reveal that it slows
human metabolism and suppresses the appetite.

Blue berries

Food researchers say that when humans searched for food, they learned to avoid toxic or spoiled objects,
which were often blue, black, or purple.

Blue food is rare in nature, with the most notable being blueberries.

In Costa Rica, it’s said when you can see a ring around the moon at night, called aœluna de agua, it foretells
3 to 4 straight days of slow but steady rain, called a œtemporala.

Differences Between the Sexes

Blue is a masculine color, traditionally used for boys. According to studies, blue is highly accepted among
males. However, there are no hard-setrules about what colors are masculine, feminine or gender-neutral.

Blue is a favorite color for both men and women, but males have a much stronger preference for blue than
women. It may be the calming effect that makes it a popular color for both sexes, or it could be the
association of some shades of blue with authority figures, intelligence, and stability.

In a 1964 Color and Gender report, women favored blue-green turquoise, a mix of the 2 cool colors of blue
and green more than men. This same study found that €œ76% of women preferred cool colors.

Male top 3 favorite colors: Blue, Green, and Black (2 cool and one neutral color)

Female top 3 favorite colors: Blue, Green, and Purple (all cool colors)

Studies have found that that blue was favored overwhelmingly by men and women on the Web.

Color research done over the years indicates that the favorite colors of men and women do differ, some of
which may be attributed to cultural use of color and conditioning.

Since colors come in many tints and shades, one might love a rich, royal blue but strongly dislike a pale
sky blue, so a preference for the color blue doesn’t mean that every shade of blue is universally appealing.

Feng Shui

In feng shui, we associate blue with the clear sky and healing, refreshing waters. Blue belongs to the feng shui
Water element of North. A harmonious feng shui Water element will bring a refreshing energy of calm, ease,
purity and freshness. Water is also the ancient symbol of abundance, hence a potent Feng Shui cure.

The color ranges from gentle aqua blue to the blue-green of the ocean, and the deep indigo blue of the crown chakra.

Gentle blue is a great feng shui choice for study, especially as a ceiling color. Several studies have shown
that children performed better under blue colored ceilings than white.

Light blue is also the feng shui color of harmonious expansion and gentle growth, while darker blue evokes the
fengshui energy of deep calm and serenity. Placing some deep blue elements into your bedroom is said to
promote better sleep.

Deep blue should be used sparingly in the feng shui areas of South, Northwest and West areas of your space,
and freely in the North, East (Health & Family) and Southeast (Wealth& Abundance).

Allegedly, one of the most calming feng shui color combinations is blue and white, as it brings the energy of
unlimited sky and happiness.

Planet Earth

In the metaphysics of the New Age Prophetess, Alice Bailey, in her system called the Seven Rays which classifies
humans into 7 different metaphysical psychological types, the first ray of will-power is represented by the

Blue in Culture
In fashion, dark clothing for males such as dark blue business suits have become far more popular since
about 1995, as opposed to the pastel colored business suits worn in the1970’s by major leaders in
institutions such as the US Congress.

Dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness. In Western civilization, those in the
upper classes in high places of political or economic power often wear dark blue suits.

Capital Gate - World's First Man-made Leaning Tower, UAE City (Dhabi)

2010-06-28T06:30:00.000-07:00

Millions of visitors are flocking the Italian city of Pisa from
100s of years to witness the only leaning tower in the world,
better known as "Leaning Tower of Pisa". However, this may no longer
be taken as a surprise after the end of this year as Capital Gate
is coming up in the UAE city of Abu Dhabi.

Capital Gate, owned and developed by ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National
Exhibitions Company), has been certified as the World's Furthest
Leaning Manmade Tower, by Guinness World Records.

The 160-metre, 35-storey Capital Gate tower has been built
to lean 18 degrees westwards. When fully complete by end of this year,
the tower will house the 5 Star Hyatt Capital Gate, as well as
20,000sqm of the most exclusive office space in Abu Dhabi,
the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

One more amazing fact about this tower is that it creates
an illusion as it appears straight (like any other building) from
two-sides; and appears curved or leaning from other two sides.
