The first Coca-Cola recipe was invented in Columbus, Georgia at a drugstore owned by John Pemberton, originally as a cocawine called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca in 1885. He may have been inspired by the formidable success of Vin Mariani, a  European cocawine.  By the time of its 50th anniversary, the drink had reached the status of a national icon for the USA.

Coca-Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising – White Rock Beverages used Santa in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923 after first using him to sell mineral water in 1915. Before Santa Claus, however, Coca-Cola relied on images of smartly-dressed young women to sell its beverages. Coca-Cola’s first such advertisement appeared in 1895 and featured a young Bostonian actress named Hilda Clark as its spokesperson.  These retro soda pop signs are still available today

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition

Eagle common name for large predatory birds of the family Falconidae ( hawk family), found in all parts of the world. Eagles are similar to the buteos, or buzzard hawks, but are larger both in length and in wingspread (up to 7 1/2 ft/228 cm) and have beaks nearly as long as their heads. They are solitary birds, said to mate for life. The nest, or aerie, of twigs and sticks is built at a vantage point high in a tree or on a cliff in a permanent feeding territory and is added to year after year, the refuse of the previous nests decomposing beneath the new additions. Nests can become enormous, measuring up to ten feet across and weighing well over 1,000 pounds. The eaglets (usually two) do not develop adult markings until their third year, when they leave parental protection and seek their own mates and territories.

The American bald (in the sense of white, as in piebald), or white-headed, eagle ( Haliaetus leucocephalus ) is found in all parts of North America near water and feeds chiefly on dead fish (sometimes robbing the osprey ’s catch) and rodents. It is dark brown with white head, neck, and tail plumage. The northern species (found chiefly in Canada) is slightly larger than the southern, which ranges throughout the United States. With only 417 known breeding pairs in the 48 contiguous states in 1963, the bald eagle population was dwindling alarmingly; a decade later they were placed on the endangered species list. In one of the greatest success stories in species recovery, conservation methods such as the banning of DDT and the prohibition against eagle hunting had by the beginning of the 21st cent. increased the breeding population in the lower 48 states to some 5,000 pairs. In 1995 the bald eagle was removed from endangered status, and in 2007, when there were nearly 10,000 breeding pairs in the lower 48, it was removed from threatened status. The bald eagle (and golden eagle) continue to be protected by federal law.

The golden, or mountain, eagle (genus Aquila— whence aquiline, meaning eaglelike) is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, in the United States found mostly in the West. Unlike the bald eagle, it is an aggressive predator. In Asia it is trained to hunt small game (see falconry ). The adult is sooty brown with tawny head and neck feathers; unlike those of the bald eagle, its legs are feathered to the toes. The gray and Steller’s sea eagles (also in the genus Haliaetus ) are native to colder areas of the Northern Hemisphere; the king or imperial eagle to S Europe and Asia; and the rare monkey-eating eagle to the Philippines. The harpy, or harpy eagle ( Thrasyaetus harpyia ), of Central and South America, the largest (38 in./95 cm long) of the hawks, eats macaws and sloths. It was named for the winged monsters of Greek myth and was called “winged wolf” by the Aztecs. New Zealand’s extinct Haast’s eagle, which had a 10-ft (3-m) wingspan and weighed 30% to 40% more than the harpy, was the top predator in the archipelago’s ecosystem prior to the arrival of humans.

Eagles—impressive both in size and for their fearsome beauty—have long been symbols of royal power and have appeared on coins, seals, flags, and standards since ancient times. The eagle was the emblem of one of the Ptolemies of Egypt and was borne on the standards of the Roman armies and of Napoleon’s troops. The American bald eagle became the national emblem of the United States by act of Congress in 1782. In folklore the eagle’s ability to carry off prey, including children (e.g., the legend of Ganymede), has been exaggerated; even the powerful golden eagle can lift no more than 8 lb (3.6 kg).

Eagles are classified in the phylum Chordata , subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Falconiformes, family Accipitridae.

If you love eagles as much as I do this Nostalic tin sign is for you. Makes a great Christmas gift.

The POW/MIA flag is an American flag designed as a symbol of citizen concern about United States military personnel taken as prisoners of war (POWs) or listed as missing in action (MIA). The POW/MIA flag was created by the National League of Families and officially recognized by the Congress in conjunction with the Vietnam War POW/MIA issue, “as the symbol of our Nation’s concern and commitment to resolving as fully as possible the fates of Americans still prisoner, missing and unaccounted for in Southeast Asia, thus ending the uncertainty for their families and the Nation.”

Counting Calories In Vegetables - Food Calories

Diet, Weight Loss Tips, Weight Loss Support, Weight Loss & Dieting Advice

When dieting, counting calories can render awesome results on your weight scales. Vegetables are tops for dieters because most all are ultra-low in calories and contain zero-minimal fat. Oh my, there is a pretty picture developing here - and that picture is YOU! 

And vegetables make a healthy choice for anyone - dieting or not! Steaming your vegetables or enjoying them raw without added sauces/oils is the absolute healthiest means of preparation, though because they are so low in calories, a bit of sauce/glaze will certainly keep vegetables well within ‘diet calorie range’. 

Be sure to wash all vegetables well  before use to remove harmful bacteria and insecticides. No calorie butter spray can be used generously, so squeeze that bottle and in turn, squeeze those unwanted pounds away by enjoying something healthy and diet smart!

This vintage tin sign will make a great Christmas gift.

Garth Brooks wrote a song  If tomorrow never comes they played this at the Dale Earnhardt Sr. tribute.  I think it’s only fitting to remember him during NASCAR season.  Let us remember are loved ones that are gone.  Dale Earhardt Sr. 1951- 2001

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She’s lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she’s my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

‘Cause I’ve lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there’s no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she’s my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you’re thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

For all you NASCAR fans here’s a license plate sign for you or a great gift.
