What is usually called the flower is actually a head (formally composite flower) of numerous florets (small flowers) crowded together. The outer florets are the sterile ray florets and can be yellow, maroon, orange, or other colors. The florets inside the circular head are called disc florets, which mature into seeds.
The florets within the sunflower’s cluster are arranged in a spiral pattern. Typically each floret is oriented toward the next by approximately the golden angle, 137.5°, producing a pattern of interconnecting spirals where the number of left spirals and the number of right spirals are successive Fibonacci numbers. Typically, there are 34 spirals in one direction and 55 in the other; on a very large sunflower there could be 89 in one direction and 144 in the other. This pattern produces the most efficient packing of seeds within the flower head.
The sunflower is native to the Central Americas. The evidence thus far is that it was first domesticated in Mexico, by at least 2600 BC. It may have been domesticated a second time in the middle Mississippi Valley, or been introduced there from Mexico at an early date, as maize was. The earliest known examples of a fully domesticated sunflower north of Mexico have been found in Tennessee and date to around 2300 BC. Many indigenous American peoples used the sunflower as the symbol of their solar deity, including the Aztecs and the Otomi of Mexico and the Incas in South America. Francisco Pizarro was the first European to encounter the sunflower in Tahuantinsuyo, Peru. Gold images of the flower, as well as seeds, were taken back to Spain early in the 16th century. Some researchers argue that the Spaniards tried to suppress cultivation of the sunflower because of its association with solar religion and warfare.
During the 18th century, the use of sunflower oil became very popular in Europe, particularly with members of the Russian Orthodox Church because sunflower oil was one of the few oils that was not prohibited during Lent.

Texas hold ‘em (also known as hold’em or holdem) is a variation of the standard card game of poker. The game consists of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed by the dealer—a series of three (”the flop”) then two additional single cards (”the turn” and “the river”), with players having the option to check, bet or fold after each deal, i.e. betting may occur prior to the flop, “on the flop,” “on the turn,” and “on the river.”

U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the 
“Main Street of America” or the “Mother Road”) was a highway in the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66, US Highway 66, was established on November 11, 1926. However, road signs did not go up until the following year. The famous highway originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, encompassing a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km). It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song (written by Bobby Troup and performed by the Nat King Cole Trio and The Rolling Stones, among others) and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s. More recently, the 2006 Disney/Pixar film Cars featured U.S. 66.
Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, changing its path and overall length. Many of the realignments gave travelers faster or safer routes, or detoured around city congestion. One realignment moved the western endpoint farther west from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica.
Route 66 was a major path of the migrants who went west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive even with the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.
US 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name “Historic Route 66″. It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California have been redesignated “State Route 66″, and others bear “Historic Route 66″ signs and relevant historic information.

Texas ( /ˈtɛksəs/ (help·info)) is the second-largest U.S. state in both area and population, and the largest state in the contiguous United States. The name had wide usage among native Americans, meaning “friends” or “allies”. Located in the South Central United States, Texas is bordered by Mexico to the south, New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2), and a growing population of 24.7 million residents. Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston are the fourth- and sixth-largest United States metropolitan areas, respectively. Other major cities include San Antonio, El Paso, and Austin—the state capital. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as an independent republic and as a reminder of the state’s struggle for independence from Mexico. The “Lone Star” can be found on the Texas State Flag and on the Texas State Seal today.
Due to its size and geologic features such as the Balcones Fault, Texas contains diverse landscapes that resemble both the American South and the Southwest. Although Texas is popularly associated with the Southwestern deserts, less than 10% of the land area is desert. Most of the population centers are located in areas of former prairies, grasslands, forests, and the coastline. Traveling from east to west, one can observe terrain that ranges from coastal swamps and piney woods, to rolling plains and rugged hills, and finally the desert and mountains of the Big Bend. Due to its long history as a center of the American cattle industry, Texas is associated with the image of the cowboy.
The term “six flags over Texas” came from the several nations that had rule over the territory. Spain was the first European country to claim the area of Texas. France held a short-lived colony in Texas. Mexico controlled the territory until 1836 when Texas won its independence, becoming an independent Republic. In 1845 it joined the United States as the 28th state. The state’s annexation set off a chain of events that caused the Mexican–American War in 1846. Texas declared its secession from the United States in early 1861, joining the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. After the war and its restoration to the Union, Texas entered a long period of economic stagnation.
In the early 1900s, oil discoveries initiated an economic boom in the state. Texas has since economically diversified. Today it has more Fortune 500 companies than any other U.S. state. With a growing base of industry, the state is a leader in many, including agriculture, petrochemicals, energy, computers and electronics, aerospace, and biomedical sciences. It leads the nation in export revenue since 2002 and has the second-highest gross state product.

Detroit Pistons is a professional basketball team formed during the 1940s in Fort Wayne , Indiana and was 
named for the Zollner Machine Company. It is among the eight teams in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Detroit Pistons were formerly known as Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons during 1941-48 and Fort Wayne Pistons from 1948-57.
In 1974, Zollner sold the team to Bill Davidson, and he remains the present owner of the team. The Pistons have a rich history when they scored a position in the Finals in 1955 and 1956, though they could not win the Championship. During the 1980s and early 1990s the Pistons were looked upon as one of the top teams in the league, reaching the NBA Finals from 1988 to 1990. They further won the championship titles in 1989 and 1990.
In the early 1980s trade, the Detroit Pistons brought in guards Isiah Thomas, Kelly Tripucka, and Vinnie Johnson and center Bill Laimbeer. Chuck Daly was signed as the head coach in 1983 and under his guidance the team led to the playoffs in 1984.
During 1988 and 1989 season the Pistons moved to The Palace of Auburn Hills and strengthened their team by including forward Mark Aguirre. Detroit had a streak defense and spiky shooting which helped them post 63 regular-season victories and advance to the 1989 NBA Finals, where they defeated the Lakers. The Pistons were again the champions in 1990 when they won over the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA Finals. During the 1990s the Pistons weakened as Detroit ’s star roster began to stagger. In 1994, forward Grant Hill was included in the team and the team’s performance started improving.
I will be buying this license plate sign for my daughters boyfriend birthday. He is a big Detroit Pistons fan.
Country ‘Til I Die Lyrics
Artist(Band):John Anderson 
I got an invite to a Saturday night
Shindig way up town
You know old John likes to have his fun
I couldn’t turn a party down
The band was playing some highfalutin music
I’d never heard before
Everybody there seemed to like it a lot
But I was headed for the door
Then somebody had the nerve, to call in orderves
Like something from a real bad dream
On my dish was a little piece of fish
Some rice and three green peas
I’ve never had a taste for the social graces
The way some folks do
I’ve got problems, doctor can you solve ‘em
Would you give me a clue
He said I can’t treat a man in your condition
As he looked me in the eye
All I see, is John you’ll be
Country ’til you die
Chorus:
Country ’til you die
Every bone in your body is countrified
It runs in the family, and you can say that with pride
It’s in the way you look, the way you walk and talk
Down to the truck you drive
You’re just gonna be country ’til you die
(Instrumental)
Yeah…(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m just gonna be country ’til I die
For all you coutry fans here is a license plate tag for you.
“Leroy The Redneck Reindeer” By Joe Diffe
Well you’ve all heard the story
About Rudolph and his nose
Well I’ll tell you a Christmas tell
That never has been told
Well you may think you’ve heard it all
But you ain’t heard nothin’ yet
About that crazy Christmas
That the North Pole can’t forget
Rudolph was under the weather
And had to call in sick
So he got on the horn
To his cousin Leroy
Who lived out in the sticks
He said Santa’s really counting on me
And I hate to pass the buck
Leroy said Hey I’m on my way
And he jumped in his pick-up truck
When Leroy got to the North Pole
All the reindeer stiggered and laughed
They never seen a deer in overalls
And a John Deer tracktor hat
Well Santa stepped in
And said just calm down
Cuz we all got a job to do
Like it or not Leroy’s in charge
And he’s gonna be leading you
And it was
Leroy The Redneck Reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ol’ boys
And girls along the way
He’s just a down home party animal
Two Steppin all across the sky
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell
And made history that night
Before that night was over
Leroy had changed there tune
He had them scootin a holf
On every single roof
By the light of a neon moon
Santa wrapped his bad with the dixie flag
He as having the time of his life
You could here him call
Merry Chistmas Yall
And all of yall a goodnight
And it was
Leroy The Redneck Reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ol’ boys
And girls along the way
He’s just a down home party animal
Two Steppin all across the sky
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell
And made history that night
He makes Jingle Bells with the rebel yell
And made history that night.
Well It is only 2 days before christmas. This license plate tag makes a great gift.
Musical keyboard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A musical keyboard is the set of adjacent depressible levers or keys on a musical instrument, particularly 
the piano. Keyboards typically contain keys for playing the twelve notes of the Western musical scale, with a combination of larger, longer keys and smaller, shorter keys that repeats at the interval of an octave. Depressing a key on the keyboard causes the instrument to produce sounds, either by mechanically striking a string or tine (piano, electric piano, clavichord); plucking a string (harpsichord); causing air to flow through a pipe (organ); or strike a bell (carillon). On electric and electronic keyboards, depressing a key connects a circuit (Hammond organ, digital piano, synthesizer). Since the most commonly encountered keyboard instrument is the piano, the keyboard layout is often referred to as the “piano keyboard”.

Maltese cross
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maltese cross (also Amalfi cross) is identified as the symbol of an order of Christian warriors known as the Knights Hospitaller or Knights of Malta and through them came to be identified with the Mediterranean island of Malta and is one of the National symbols of Malta. The Maltese cross was depicted on the two mils coin in the old Maltese currency, and is now shown on the back of the one and two Euro coins, introduced in January 2008.
The cross is eight-pointed and has the form of four “V”-shaped arms joined together at their tips, so that each arm has two points. Its design is based on crosses used since the First Crusade. It was also the symbol of Amalfi, a small Italian republic of the 11th century.
In the United States what are called Maltese Crosses are often used by fire departments. For example New York City Fire Department and Philadelphia Fire Department both incorporate the “Maltese cross” in their insignias. This variant is known as the Saint Florian Cross.
