Repeat winners

Seven different teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls, one of which has done it twice:
  • Green Bay Packers (Super Bowls I and II)
  • Miami Dolphins (Super Bowls VII and VIII)
  • Pittsburgh Steelers (twice: Super Bowl IX and X, and Super Bowl XIII and XIV)
  • San Francisco 49ers (Super Bowl XXIII and XXIV)
  • Dallas Cowboys (Super Bowl XXVII and XXVIII)
  • Denver Broncos (Super Bowl XXXII and XXXIII)
  • New England Patriots (Super Bowl XXXVIII and XXXIX)
No team has yet won three Super Bowls in a row, although several have come close:
  • The Green Bay Packers won the first two Super Bowls, but had also won the NFL championship in the preceding year.
  • The Miami Dolphins appeared in three consecutive Super Bowls (Super Bowls VI, VII and VIII), winning the last two.
  • The San Francisco 49ers won two consecutive Super Bowls (Super Bowls XXIII and XXIV) before being eliminated in the NFC championship game the following year by the eventual champion New York Giants.
  • The Dallas Cowboys won two consecutive Super Bowls (Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII) before being eliminated in the NFC championship game the following year by the eventual champion San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys would then win Super Bowl XXX the following year.

Teams with no Super Bowl appearances

Four current teams have never reached the Super Bowl. Two of them held NFL league championships prior to Super Bowl I in the 1966 NFL season:
In addition, Detroit, Houston and Jacksonville have hosted Super Bowls; this means Cleveland is the only current NFL city that has neither hosted, nor had their team played in, a Super Bowl.

Teams with long Super Bowl droughts

The following eight teams have appeared in the Super Bowl, but not since 1995, meaning their droughts are longer than Jacksonville's and Houston's.
Two of these teams have not appeared in the Super Bowl since the AFL–NFL merger in 1970:[70]
  • New York Jets (most recently appeared in Super Bowl III in 1968)
  • Kansas City Chiefs (Super Bowl IV in 1969)
The most recent Super Bowl appearance for the following teams was after the AFL–NFL merger, but prior to the 1995 regular season:
  • Minnesota Vikings (Super Bowl XI in 1976)
  • Miami Dolphins (Super Bowl XIX in 1984)
  • Cincinnati Bengals (Super Bowl XXIII in 1988)
  • Washington Redskins (Super Bowl XXVI in 1991)
  • Buffalo Bills (Super Bowl XXVIII in 1993)
  • San Diego Chargers (Super Bowl XXIX in 1994)

Super Bowl rematches

  • Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers (3) – Super Bowls X and XIII were won by Pittsburgh, and Super Bowl XXX was won by DallasSee also Cowboys–Steelers rivalry.
  • Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins (2) – Super Bowl VII was won by Miami, and Super Bowl XVII was won by Washington.
  • Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers (2) – Super Bowls XVI and XXIII were both won by San Francisco.

Uber Blatantly Uses Technology to Break Laws and Avoid Fines!

Uber has drawn the ire of the Queensland Taxi Council, who say their competitor is unsafe and unregulated.
Taxi Council chief executive Benjamin Wash said in the coming days they would ramp up an advertising campaign to dissuade people from using ride-sharing apps like Uber.

BLUE LIGHTS&SIRENS: Top Four Reasons Police Will Pull You Over

click image
 In the ongoing interest of helping us all become model motorists, here’s what the 'Po-Po' had to say:

Speeding

(pulled over because you can’t drive 55 … in a 35 mph zone)

In the Edmunds survey, every cop surveyed listed stopping speeding drivers as a main priority. So why do police officers key in on speeders? Well, issuing speeding tickets has a huge impact on safety. For every 100 extra speeding citations given in a month, there are 14.3 fewer crashes and 5.6 fewer injuries.
Point is, if your need for speed gets the better of you, be prepared to put your money where your lead foot is — a whopping 34 million speeding tickets are handed out each year in the U.S.

Distracted driving

(pulled over because you’re texting, emailing, eating, and driving)

The police officers surveyed say their main reasons for giving distracted-driving tickets include illegal texting and driving or other dangerous cell phone use. And with good reason, too. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a stunning 40 percent of U.S. teens admit to having been in a car while the driver used a cell phone in an endangering way. We don’t know about you, but it seems this phenomenon can’t get enough police intervention.

Equipment violations

(pulled over because those windows are just a bit too dark)

Equipment offenses are easy bait for tickets because they’re so simple to spot. A police officer doesn’t have to make any judgments about the situation. Rather, he or she can simply see that something isn’t up to code and make a move. According to the cops surveyed, the most glaring violation (pun intended) was illegal window tints. Following that were burned-out lights, broken windshields, and expired license plate tags.

Tailgating and improper lane changes

(pulled over because you’re bound to cause an accident)

These 2 violations ranked as equally important on the Edmunds study. Both are reckless maneuvers that cops said they monitor closely. One police officer even qualified exactly what he thinks is considered a dangerous lane change: cutting someone off or moving without looking.
Using the left lane for cruising instead of passing, driving too slowly, and squealing your tires are also high on the list.

Use common sense

When reviewing these offenses, it’s not exactly a surprise that they attract attention. True, you can’t control what other people will do on the road. But you can control yourself. So next time you notice you’re about to fall into one of these habits, think about the repercussions. Safe driving is good for you and everyone else on the road.

Revisited: Camile Fontaine, Hawaiian Artist and Friend

This is one of my long lost friends from my youth. Camile went to art school on Hilton Head Island where I met her painting a seascape outside my villa.
click pic for galleries 
She took to me as a child to a father. She even called me Daddy as a nick name. I protected her and encouraged her to do what she loved. She hitch hiked across the country with me 'to experience it's natural beauty'. For 2500 miles she was fearless and relentless as we traveled as the hippies we were. She was wide eyed the whole time. I knew she would do well in life. When her time came she left me, her rambling, dancing long haired gnome behind(as she should have) and went back to what she called the most beautiful place in the world Kauai, Hawaii to paint and create. And what creations she has produced!
They are beautiful as is she.
