The Super Bowl has become a cultural event, with parties thrown around the country as fans, some more ardent than others. The Baltimore Ravens shook off an unprecedented Superdome blackout and a near improbable second-half comeback by the San Francisco 49ers, to hold on and capture one of the greatest, and certainly wildest, Super Bowls, 34-31 on Sunday. The half the lights in the Superdome went out in a third quarter Super Bowl power outage, causing a 34-minute delay. Since that moment, the 49ers have regrouped and dominated.
Flacco was especially potent in the first half, completing 13 of 20 passes for 192 yards in the first 30 minutes to give the Ravens a 21-3 lead with 1:45 left in the half. The two head coaches, John Harbaugh of the Ravens and Jim Harbaugh of the 49ers, are brothers. Their parents have said they are cheering for both teams.
Definitely it was a a game full of emotions for 100 million or so Americans expected to tune in on TV.

When a person is caught cheating, is it possible to bury the hatchet? It is possible if both parties are willing to analyze the causes. However, we can never forget infidelity because our brain is incomparable to CPU in the computer as we do not have the “delete” button in our brain. Can infidelity be avoided? What about financial issues when there is crisis in your marriage? According to the American Psychological Association, 83 percent of women are stressed about money, compared with 78 percent of men. For Tiger Woods this lesson was difficult to learn it and after he, ranked fourth in the world, has won three of his past seven starts, most recently this past July 1st at the AT&T National.
Woods was asked about being “back,” whatever that means, and answering 2-1/2 years of questions about when he’d be “back.” Certainly, he is back after all his marital and divorce issues but now he is going to new places with new success. Tiger always let his game do the talking. The media is always trying to push him to lashing out but he’s always humble after a win and always respectful towards the other players. At the end, Tiger is back. His swing is in form and is putting fantastic.

Kurt Donald Cobain, a great legend who inspired a lot of teens in the 90’s… ever since his tragic suicide on April 5th, 1994, rock music has not been the same…
He was being remembered Thursday 5th on the 18th anniversary of his death. Unable to cope with his fame and “rock star” public image, Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home on April 8, 1994. Four days earlier, he had committed suicide with a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.
As with many stars who fit the archetype of Neil Young’s “it’s better to burn out than it is to rust,” as stated in his 1979 song “Hey Hey, My MY (Into the Black),” the causes of Cobain’s early death have been disputed by fans – including some speculation that Love may have been involved and belief that he may still be alive, but faked his own death to avoid fame as per his documented aversion to public life.
