1 February Super Bowl 2014 The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks will face off in Super Bowl 2014 after earning their conference crowns on Sunday. Denver defeated the New England Patriots by the score of in the AFC championship hours before Seattle sunk the San Francisco 49ers, 23-17, in the NFC championship. When: Sunday, Feb. 2 at 6:25 p.m. ET Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J. Will the 2013 NFL season be defined by Peyton Manning's unflappable dominance or the passing of a torch? Manning is one of, if not the greatest quarterback of all time. He practically owns the record books. A second Super Bowl ring would help convince even his harshest critics to change their tune in the G.O.A.T. debate. If the Broncos were to win it all, they would be more than capable of winning back-to-back titles. However, so are the Seahawks. In fact, given that Russell Wilson is a dozen years younger than Manning, their core is more likely to compete for championships for years to come. If Seattle were to win it all, it could prove to be the passing of the torch from Manning to Wilson. Obviously, Wilson wouldn't instantly be the best QB in the NFL upon victory, but someone has to claim the title when Manning retires. Wilson would be the third-youngest signal-caller in league history to win a ring the only two younger being Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger It isn't just the Seahawks' No. 1 ranked defense in yards and points allowed that has them Super Bowl-bound. Wilson finished the regular season with a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 26-to-9 and a passer rating of He helped lead Seattle to victory over the 49ers on Sunday by completing 16-of-25 passes for 215 yards and a touchdown, equating to a passer rating.

indoors, but still we have nothing against Winter with its howling wind, its silence and its icy crunch, for it is fresh and clear, the promise of something to come; so we simply enjoy it perfectly

3 Perfectly Perfect Winter Winter is white, white, pure white, pale blue, gloomy gray and softest of grey. Cold and fresh it wakes us up. Winter is memories of sledding, sliding and skiing, it is the hint of mothballs, the scent of wood burning, it is the pure taste of snow on your tongue We may find ourselves bound to the house, kept indoors, but still we have nothing against Winter with its howling wind, its silence and its icy crunch, for it is fresh and clear, the promise of something to come; so we simply enjoy it perfectly as we wait for Spring.

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the English-speaking countries, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In the second half of the twentieth century, the practice of exchanging cards was extended to all manner of gifts in the United States, usually from a man to a woman. Such gifts typically include roses and chocolates packed in a red satin, heart-shaped box. In the 1980s, the diamond industry began to promote Valentine's Day as an occasion for giving jewelry. The day has come to be associated with a generic platonic greeting of "Happy Valentine's Day." As a joke, Valentine's Day is also referred to as "Singles Awareness Day." In some North American elementary schools, children decorate classrooms, exchange cards, and eat sweets. The greeting cards of these students often mention what they appreciate about each other. The rise of Internet popularity at the turn of the millennium is creating new traditions. Millions of people use, every year, digital means of creating and sending Valentine's Day greeting messages such as e -cards, love coupons or printable greeting cards. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year, behind Christmas. The association estimates that, in the US, men spend on average twice as much money as women. (From: Wikipedia, license: CCA-SA)
