The Olympics are over

This past weekend marked the end of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Many people have mixed feelings about how the Olympics played out. Some enjoyed the games, but others felt that home field advantage helped in many ways. Controversies were a problem from beginning to the end of the games. We have all seen the pictures of the rooms the worlds best athletes were placed in. The living conditions were horrible in some areas, started from no power at times to no running water. Those were only some of the problems Sochi experienced. On the athletic level, the games were exciting throughout. With the host country leading the medal count with 33 and the US coming in second with 28. This marked the first time since the 1952 games where the host country won both medal and gold count. But with triumph there will always be controversy. This showed especially in the figure skating portion of the games. Many athletes claimed the judges ruled unfairly and they favored the Russian skaters. These theories became transparent when Russian skater Adelina Sotnikova was scene moments after winning gold, hugging the judge who judged her. http://nesn.com/2014/02/russian-figure-skater-hugs-russian-judge-minutes-after-winning-gold-medal-photo/
The Sochi Olympics were a very good Olympic and will be remembered for years to come.

Flappy Bird, the game so easy but challenging that everyone is addicted to. If you're a victim of the flappy bird virus then you know how aggravating this game could make you. Apparently the owner Dong Nguyen, feels the same way. Mr. Nguyen said through a tweet that as of Sunday February 9 that Flappy Bird will ben taken off the app store. Flappy Bird has taken the world by storm taking over the charts for top app for both iPhone and android platforms. Although he said that he will not sell the game, many other sources say otherwise. Regardless of what happens you smiled when you beat your high score and your blood boiled when you lost. Flappy Birds will be missed....(maybe)
