The 2010 New York Yankees season will be the 110th season for the New York Yankees franchise. The team will attempt to defend its status as American League and World Series champions. The Yankees will open and close the season against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. This will mark the first time since 1950 this has happened. The Yankees and Dodgers will again renew their rivalry as the Bronx Bombers travel west to face former Yankee icons Joe Torre and Don Mattingly.

Let see if they can do it again next year. For all you Yankees fan here’s the license plate sign for you.

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the bird. For other uses, see Eagle (disambiguation).
Eagles are large birds of prey which are members of the bird family Accipitridae, and belong to several genera which are not necessarily closely related to each other. Most of the more than 60 species occur in Eurasia and Africa.[1] Outside this area, just two species (the Bald and Golden Eagles) can be found in the USA and Canada, nine more in Central and South America, and three in Australia.

Eagles are differentiated from other birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful build, and heavier head and beak. Even the smallest eagles, like the Booted Eagle (which is comparable in size to a Common Buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from the vultures. Species named as eagles can range in size from the South Nicobar Serpent-eagle, at 500 grams (1.1 pounds) and 40 cm (16 in), to the 6.7-kg Steller’s Sea Eagle and the 100 cm (39 in) Philippine Eagle.

Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong muscular legs, and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance.This keen eyesight is primarily contributed by their extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light.

Eagles build their nests, called eyries, in tall trees or on high cliffs. Many species lay two eggs, but the older, larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched. The dominant chick tends to be the female, as they are bigger than the male. The parents take no action to stop the killing.

Bonelli’s Eagle, the Booted Eagle and the Little Eagle have been moved from Hieraaetus to Aquila.
Either the Greater Spotted Eagle and Lesser Spotted Eagle should move from Aquila to join the Long-crested Eagle in Lophaetus, or, perhaps better, all three of these species should move to Ictinaetus with the Black Eagle.
The Steppe Eagle and Tawny Eagle, once thought to be conspecific, are not even each other’s nearest relatives.

For all of us that love Eagles this license plate sign makes a great gift.

Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe
And a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman
Is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
O Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Frosty the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day
So he said
“Let’s run and
We’ll have some fun
Now before I melt away”

Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all
Around the square saying
Catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler “Stop!”

For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
“Don’t you cry
I’ll be back again some day”

Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
