<span style="font-weight: bold;">In this incredible picture, a reporter
snapped a photo of a raging fire that engulfed a building. It was later
noticed that a little girl was standing in the middle of the flames
looking back out at the reporter. No body was found in the rubble but

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"ATTACK" OF THE CICADAS HAS BEGUN</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXMVXUSD3wPbbSaeoidhNV52sAinWwjRBNrCXKz5pZXWdnWWEvo9NMB4pZK-EbNWEeYYYRaFhVcxQIGDA44nkaJ_3PANDUYpWwbBej9GgSs9Z0tFCZ8LE7IFxLKBTTbBD0FY1/s1600/CicadaFront740_700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXMVXUSD3wPbbSaeoidhNV52sAinWwjRBNrCXKz5pZXWdnWWEvo9NMB4pZK-EbNWEeYYYRaFhVcxQIGDA44nkaJ_3PANDUYpWwbBej9GgSs9Z0tFCZ8LE7IFxLKBTTbBD0FY1/s320/CicadaFront740_700.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;">They've been asleep under ground for 17 years and now it's time for their return to the world above them. They are the Cicada bug and they'll be returning by the millions if not the billions from Georgia to Connecticut.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;">Their ear perching song and red eyes will soon be on tree branches to house sides. Here are some facts about our 17 year visitors and why you really have nothing to worry about. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. There will be hundreds of millions of them</span><br />The
insects themselves aren't very big — adults tend to be a little larger
than a quarter. And while they don't sting or bite, there will be
hundreds of millions — perhaps billions — of them. A single Brood II
female lays as many as 600 eggs before she dies. According to John Cooley, a research scientist at the University of
Connecticut, Brood II cicadas tend to form denser clouds than other
varieties: Clusters can range from tens of thousands to 1.5 million per
acre.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. They won't be around for very long</span><br />When soil temperatures reach a balmy 64 degrees in in late May or early June, nymphs will start emerging from underground, "boiling out of the ground" as if "from some horror movie,"<i> reports The New York Times</i><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/02/opinion/here-comes-the-cicadas-buzz.html" rel="nofollow"><i></i></a>.
Then, for the first time since 1996, they'll climb up trees, shed their
skin, and transform into loud, obnoxious adults looking to procreate.
Thankfully, the whole cycle only lasts 6 weeks, and we won't see the
cicadas again until 2030.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. They're actually great for plant life</span>When
a female squirts her eggs on twigs and shrubs, they form thick clusters
that strip trees of excess branches. "This does little permanent damage
to trees; some small branches may be broken," notes The Times"But the end result is often the same as that from pruning — healthier plants." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_28_1368053601131_246" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;"><span id="yui_3_8_1_28_1368053601131_245" style="font-weight: bold;">4. They don't taste bad</span>Cicadas
are arthropods, meaning they're related to shrimp and lobsters.
(Something to bear in mind if you have shellfish allergies.) The bugs have something of a long culinary history, especially in the Southwest:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;">Ashlee Horne of Nashville likes her cicadas sautéed in butter and
garlic. Jenna Jadin of Washington, D.C., bakes them into banana bread,
chocolate-chip cookies, and rhubarb pie. Others like them dipped in
chocolate for a sweet, crunchy snack. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;">
According to one blogger, they taste "crispy and crunchy, with a nutty, almondlike flavor," and are best eaten before the nymphs form their hard exoskeleton. <i>A</i> cicada swarm once even rescued the Onondaga Indians of <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1367943990274_3">New York</span> from famine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;"><a href="http://theweek.com/article/index/243776/today-in-history-may-7" rel="nofollow"><i><br /></i></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;">
However, The Humane Society warns
against letting dogs and other pets gorge on yards full of the bugs, as
their hard exteriors could present a choking hazard. An ingredient
found naturally in their shells (chitin) can also cause constipation and
vomiting when digested in large amounts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: cyan;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Bob Dylan wrote a song about them</span>It's called "Day of the Locust." The inspiration came in 1970, during an especially loud, sleepless night of buzzing in
Princeton, N.J. It may be the best song ever written about noisy insects</span></div>

color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I went to my car this morning. The temperature out side was a bone chilling 18 degrees. As I sat inside the vehicle I waiting patiently for the heater to show me the slightest sign of warmth. I then climbed back out of my icebox like car to perform a morning ritual. I had to scrape the ice and frost off the windshield of my car. As I scraped away, I looked around. I saw the snow on the ground. I saw the lifeless trees with the shine of ice hanging from them. The freezing cold around me stung what little skin was exposed to the elements. This is February in Connecticut and we are in the dead center of winter.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I'm not the winter type of guy. Give me sun and the beach any day over the white, drifting snow. I'm not saying I don't like winter. I'm just saying that winter is far to long. This is the reason why February 2nd. is so important to me.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">NATURE'S WEATHERMAN...</span><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;">In a time of super radars and satellites that could read the year on a penny from outer space, our weather men have it all. The now attempt to predict the weather weeks in advance. They could tell us with near precession the amount of rain that will fall. The could warn us of advancing storms and wind speeds to a breeze that hasn't even started blowing yet. But on this day, February 2nd, it's not the weather man I turn to for the forecast, it's a furry little rodent named Punxsutawney Phil. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Punxsutawney Phil is aground hog that lives in the state of Pennsylvania. On this day, Phil emerges from his little home and walks outside. As legend has it, if Phil sees his shadow, we are in for at least 6 more weeks of winter. If Phil goes shadowless, that is a sign that spring is right around the corner.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Now I won't be the only one looking out for Phil's shadow, or lack of one. There will be literally millions of people waiting to hear if the dead of winter will soon be replaced with the colorful life of spring.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">IT ALL STARTED HERE...</span><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;">This strange custom of replacing our weather men with a groundhog started in the 18th century in Pennsylvania. It actual origins come from Europe where a badger decides the upcoming end to the harsh winter depending on it's shadow. The date chosen, February 2nd, is the date used by the Celtics as a seasonal turning point.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">So on this date I'll keep my frozen fingers crossed in hope of a shadow and a early spring. So here's to Punxsutawney Phil and to putting away my windshield scraper and turning on my air conditioner instead of my car heater.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Now I don't hold much hope in a forecast from a brown, furry, bucked tooth animal but then again, that's kind of the description of some weather men.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thanks to one of my favorite websites, listafterlist.com, here's a list of some other famous groundhogs.</span><br /><br /></div><p style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><span id="dnn_ctr410_ListResults_LabelAbstract" class="LALListItem">Names of many other prognosticating groundhogs:</span><br /></p><div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"> </div><table style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><tbody><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Punxsutawney Phil found in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Wiarton Willie found in Wiarton, Ontario</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Staten Island Chuck found in New York City, New York</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">General Beauregard Lee, PhD found in Atlanta, Georgia</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Malverne Mel and Malverne Melissa found in Malverne, New York</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Brandon Bob of Brandon, Manitoba</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Balzac Billy of Balzac, Alberta</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Shubenacadie Sam of Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Gary the Groundhog of Kleinburg, Ontario</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Spanish Joe of Spanish, Ontario</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Sir Walter Wally of Raleigh, North Carolina</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Pardon Me Pete of Tampa, Florida</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Jimmy the Groundhog of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin</td></tr><tr><td class="LALListItem" valign="top"><li><br /></li><br /></td><td class="LALListItem" valign="top">Octoraro Orphie of Quarryville, Pennsylvania</td></tr></tbody></table>Rick's Time On Earthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11586088336242624182noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15159059.post-64312102511925040322010-01-07T22:24:00.003-05:002010-01-07T22:48:43.853-05:00Gay Marriage and NJ<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwf8aA8YMwB0mZnFUL95XwoP8sZH5gAePx2jOI_b6DcYk-nNRxBZ3Y5KnebBoH8Oh2l94VhSOOy7fNflHbxtcp2dEfe6IEZaz9m558yswPYf3KrPUxDFheRKAKGgjFNhWb8mdG/s1600-h/Human-Rights-Campaign.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 220px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwf8aA8YMwB0mZnFUL95XwoP8sZH5gAePx2jOI_b6DcYk-nNRxBZ3Y5KnebBoH8Oh2l94VhSOOy7fNflHbxtcp2dEfe6IEZaz9m558yswPYf3KrPUxDFheRKAKGgjFNhWb8mdG/s320/Human-Rights-Campaign.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424210265685900642" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">In a state that's known for it's dirty beaches, smelly air, over crowded highways and a reality TV show that portrays them as a bunch of dumb ass meatheads, now New Jersey could add at least 20 closed mind, bigot senators to the list which makes the garden state more and more less appealing.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">Today the NJ state Senate denied gay people the right to marry, very much like the way this country's dark past denied blacks to marry whites, women to vote and black children to attend "white schools". This is one more example of how we didn't learn from our past. It's one more example of how hate and ignorance still runs through our country so deep that most of the civilized world sees it as one more reason this great country has lost it's legacy as the "land of the free".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">After the vote was announced that the bill was defeated, the room broke into applause.

Here are a few helpful hints to make sure you're one of the 8% that successfully keep the promises they made to themselves.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">1.) Don't put to many pebbles in your basket.</span><br /> One of the biggest mistakes people make when thinking of resolutions is that they make to many. Think about it people. You're changing something about you. One thing is tough enough so why would you want to make six or seven? Keep the number low so you could really work on it. Choose something really important about you that you want to change. Don't set the goals to high and plan it out.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">2.) Keep your big mouth opened.</span><br /> Tell your close friends and family about your goals. Yap away about it to your wife, husband, co-worker or neighbor. This way you'll have people keeping an eye on you and asking you about how you're coming along. After all, you always want to look like a winner in the eyes of people.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">3. If you hit a bump in the road, keep going.</span><br /> Many people slip up on their resolutions and just give up afterwards. If you mess up, just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep at it. Just get back on track. One bump doesn't spoil the ride.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">4. Rewards are awesome.</span><br /> If you're trying to save money and you pass on buying that $400 hand bag then go out and celebrate by joining a friend for a quick lunch. Trust me, it's a lot cheeper then some over priced, pretty now but ugly in a year, handbad. If you're trying to lose weight and you lose a few pounds then go out and buy something that you could wear or something that makes you feel good. NO, I'm not talking a triple layered brownie with ice cream. I'm talking maybe something for the shower or a massage. You get my point.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">5. Break the habit by making it a habit.</span><br /> Now that my sound a little confusing but it's not. Research shows that it takes 21 days for a new activity to become a habit, such as exercising. It takes six months for it to become part of your life style and personality. Now the bad habit you are trying to lose probably was with you a lot longer then six months so this isn't a lot of time to hold in there so go for it.<br /><br />I hope these little pieces of information help out in your quest to keep your goals. I wish you all the best luck. Drop me a comment on your resolutions and how you're keeping up.<br /><br />Peace out.<br /></div>Rick's Time On Earthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11586088336242624182noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15159059.post-82611305561806916362009-12-31T15:03:00.003-05:002009-12-31T15:04:30.616-05:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnC6-eJe6qKpcl_ZRZEGTOyR6_f1E_VA43NEjPZth6flyPfPM6M7OHweewcqTAvQdFq4vGq8dIyuExYRXOVKSsHV5_ArZ4jPiEnJx7Ad9bch9xdUmc48Y-JuW7RTwYgeT02XnC/s1600-h/happy_new_year.jpg"><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Happy New Year 2010</span></span></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnC6-eJe6qKpcl_ZRZEGTOyR6_f1E_VA43NEjPZth6flyPfPM6M7OHweewcqTAvQdFq4vGq8dIyuExYRXOVKSsHV5_ArZ4jPiEnJx7Ad9bch9xdUmc48Y-JuW7RTwYgeT02XnC/s1600-h/happy_new_year.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnC6-eJe6qKpcl_ZRZEGTOyR6_f1E_VA43NEjPZth6flyPfPM6M7OHweewcqTAvQdFq4vGq8dIyuExYRXOVKSsHV5_ArZ4jPiEnJx7Ad9bch9xdUmc48Y-JuW7RTwYgeT02XnC/s320/happy_new_year.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421493532522655906" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Rick's Time On Earthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11586088336242624182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15159059.post-55387078600829469812009-12-27T18:13:00.010-05:002009-12-27T19:40:52.794-05:00Top 5 Stories Of The Decade<div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">The year was 1999 and we were on the threshold of a new millennium. People were panic stricken over the theory that the world's computers would crash when the year 2000 rolled in. President Bill Clinton assured us that the world would be safe and as the ball dropped at midnight on Time Square in New York City, we all would find out the Y2K wouldn't come.<br /><br />This was the beginning of the 21st century. The world celebrated. Jobs were plentiful. Gas prices averaged $1.09 a gallon and the World Trade Center held the title of the tallest building in New York City.<br /><br />As quickly as the new century rolled in the world would prove to change just as fast. Here is my list of the top events that shaped this decade and our every day lives.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">5.) Hurricane Katrina</span>: August 29, 2005. When hurricane Katrina, a category 3 hurricane, struck New Orleans, no one was prepared to what was to come. The intense rains and winds from the storm breached the levees which held back water from from flooding the city which sat below sea level. In the end, over 1,800 lives were lost, 200,000 homes were destroyed, 1,000,000 people were homeless and over 1,000,000,000 dollars in damage was done. What was most shocking in this disaster was the lack of response of President Bush and our federal government, which took days to send help to save the drowning city and it's dying residence.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmm7Zwt_ga8oF3Wbevqighl6xMpHlHPcMM9HpwuFJPV5e51KN1xJtQ99w1rBsZ3Ri4x_s2avRYsbwvOALB9iDClDrVed3Ar-nTVjqgU5bgO-XveBqolritjmaV8auMz9qgcwP3/s1600-h/hurricane-katrina-69.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmm7Zwt_ga8oF3Wbevqighl6xMpHlHPcMM9HpwuFJPV5e51KN1xJtQ99w1rBsZ3Ri4x_s2avRYsbwvOALB9iDClDrVed3Ar-nTVjqgU5bgO-XveBqolritjmaV8auMz9qgcwP3/s320/hurricane-katrina-69.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420078304862286178" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">4.)

The Iraq War</span>: It began on March 20, 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by multinational forces led by the United States which believed that Iraq possessed "Weapons Of Mass Destruction". This would later prove to be misinformation from government sources. The Iraqi government, which proved to be inhumanly cruel to it's civilians would soon be over thrown. It's President President Hussein would be executed after being found guilty of crimes against humanity and the war would continue because of beliefs of Iraq's ties to terrorist groups which threatened out nation and the world.

I'm here to let the truth be known about this "holiday classic"</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">This cartoon has so many hidden messages of hate and prejudices . It's a story about a small reindeer (Rudolph) that's born into the world with what some other reindeers and SANTA would call a deformity. A shinny nose that glows a bright red hue.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Rudy's parents are horrified when they realize their son is "different" and they try to hide his glowing beak from the world by making him wear this ridiculous looking black casing over it. Now Rudy fits well into society and is popular and excels in sports such as flying and other events in the Reindeer Games.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Things go terribly wrong for Rudolph the second his light bulb like nose is exposed to the world. His "friends" look at him in horror, staring at the red nose pulsating in front of them. Then Santa walks up to Rudolph's parents and says, and I quote, " Donnor (Rudy's dad), you should be ashamed of yourself!" What kind of man is this Santa??? Telling a parent he should be ashamed of himself because his son was born deformed! Who's he to talk, after all the man is a walking heart attack with that huge gut and don't even get me going about sneaking into children's rooms at night while everyone is asleep... the sicko.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Any how, we then have this little elf named Herbie. The guy hates working in this sweat shop like factory making toys. I'm sure the money sucks, if they get paid at all. The guy dreams of becoming a dentist and for that he's ridiculed by the forman and ends up running away because in the North Pole it's obvious it's a communist state and you're not allowed to follow a dream.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">While running from the horrors of Santa's workshop Herbie meets Rudolph who has ben shunned from society and is now on his own in the freezing cold. The pair end up on an island. This is the worst part of the entire story. It's an island where civilians are sent that don't fit into the "normal world" to live out their lives in isolation. Kind of a leper colony of sorts. On this " Misfit Island" the duo meet toys that were banished after they didn't meet the evil Santa's standards. This menacing bunch would wait day and night for someone to come rescue them from the hellish prison and dreamed of a world where they would be a welcomed without prejudice. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">We quickly learn that on Christmas Eve night the world is covered with some eerie fog and Santa realizes that his super race of reindeers are pretty much useless because they can't find their way through this heavy cloud cover. This is the point where Santa shows his true colors and hits an all time low. He decides to use his physically deformed freak reindeer Rudolph because his glowing nose would light the way. Because Santa needs Rudy, because he has no where else to turn, he allows Rudolph to live among the "normals". WHAT A LOW LIFE USER!" If I was that reindeer I would fly Santa's fat butt smack into an iceberg and let him sink like the Titanic.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">The message of this story is if you don't fit into society. If you're different in any way it's o.k. to be ridiculed and shunned until you're needed to save everyone's butts.</span></div>Rick's Time On Earthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11586088336242624182noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15159059.post-19400852919555422622009-12-01T21:38:00.008-05:002009-12-01T22:11:58.817-05:00The Birth Of The Modern Day Santa<div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The image of Santa Clause has changed drastically over the years, from a small elf like creature to a tall stern looking fellow. He's gone from slender to fat. His coat as gone from green to red. From all the transformations jolly ole' St. Nick has gone through, none have been so important in shaping Santa as he appears today then the Coca Cola Company. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Some claim that the influence that the company had on Santa's image is just urban legend but here are the facts and a sweet look at some classic images of Santa Clause through the artist fro the Coca-Cola Company.</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">It all began in 1931, when Coca-Cola wanted to change the idea taht their soda was just for the warmer weather. They decided to have an ad campaign showing Santa drinking the cola in the cold and show the world that "Thirst Knows No Season".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> The first ad, drawn by artist Haddon Sundblom, showed a department working Santa drinking a Coke in a crowded store. The ad was featured in the magazine The Saturday Evening Post. The ad was a hit but the executives at Coke wanted the next ad to feature the "real" Santa. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> Haddon turned to the classic 1822 poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" and he used the description of Santa Clause from that poem and reshaped it into his own version. Santa Clause was now a jolly, plump older man with a full beard, a red suit and a thirst for Coca-Cola. This warm, heart felt image would capture the world's imagination and from that day on, Santa Clause would have a face we would all fall in love with.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;
