As we toured Old Town, San Diego, California, we came across this flower whose face had a diameter of 8-10 inches . . . a huge flower. It appeared to be growing on a bush, but now I see it must have been on a vine. I believe I have identified it correctly as 'Cup of Gold', 'Golden Chalice', 'Yellow Chalice Vine' (Solandra maxima).

Found this Sea Fig (Carpobrotus chilensis) in the weeds along the sidewalk at a San Diego beach. It is sometimes referred to as an Iceplant. I did not know the name of the plant but "mtndust" identified it for me below.

I saw this purple flower growing on a bush along the sidewalk in Lakeland, Florida. Does anyone know its name?
Jim Thorpe - All-American. Native American
Excellence. Pass It On.

Jim Thorpe didn’t excel in just one sport, but in many, making a name for himself in track and field, professional basketball and football, as well as major league baseball. In 1999 the Associated Press placed him third on their list of top athletes of the century, behind only Babe Ruth and Michael Jordan.
Though sports came easy for Thorpe, life did not. James Francis Thorpe was born a twin, but lost his brother to pneumonia when he was just nine years old. His mother died of childbirth complications just two years later. His father passed away after a hunting accident when Thorpe was 16 and attending the Carlile Indian Industrial School.
Thorpe was raised in the Sac and Fox nation in Oklahoma and despite the hardships of his youth lived up to his native name: Wa-Tho-Huk, translated as “Bright Path.” His brilliant athletic career began at the Carlisle School. Though football was his favorite sport—earning him All-American honors in 1911 and 1912—he did not stop there. He competed in baseball, lacrosse, track and field, and even ballroom dancing, winning the 1912 inter-collegiate ballroom dancing championship.
Indeed 1912 was a big year for Thorpe. He became famous overnight with his outstanding performance at the Stockholm Olympics. He won the gold medal for both the decathlon and pentathlon. It is believed that as King Gustav awarded Thorpe his medals he said “You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world.”
In 1913 Thorpe’s medals were stripped from him when the committee discovered he had played minor league baseball prior to competing in the Olympics, therefore violating the amateur regulations. Many opposed this ruling, however, and in 1983 Thorpe’s medals, and his name, were reinstated in the record books.
Thorpe went on to excel in major league baseball and professional football. He played for various MLB teams and finished his career with a .252 batting average, 91 runs scored, and 82 runs batted in. Likewise Thorpe played for six different NFL teams. He even coached one of his teams, the Canton Bulldogs, while still a player. Thorpe’s talent did not go unnoticed—he was selected to the first All-NFL team in 1923.
The sheer excellence with which Thorpe performed every sport he ever competed in is an inspiration to many. Undoubtedly, Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes this world has ever seen.

Strolling through the garden area in the courtyard of Casa De Estudillo, Old Town, San Diego, I came across this beautiful flower. Anyone know its name?
This Pied-Billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps) was found at Circle B Bar Reserve, a wetland reserve south of Lakeland, Florida. The bird measures 13 inches (33 cm) from beak-tip to tail-tip.
This is what Rhys wants to be when he grows up.
He wants to be an RSPB warden like his Auntie Karen. It's not surprising, she is the cool Auntie who has a chainsaw and drives diggers, dump trucks and road rollers. She can ride on grass in her 4x4. I don't think the bird care aspect comes much into Rhys's view of the job.
Rhys is lucky. He's been vaccinated which means he has a very good chance of growing up and looking after the environment. But one in five children - the poorest and the most vulnerable - do not receive any vaccinations against killer disease.
Save The Children are running a campaign called No Child Born To Die. Sign the petition to push world leaders to fund vaccination for all children. Do it now. We have 25 days before the World Economic Forum meets.

LEADERSHIP . . . Pass It On.
The American Revolutionary War hung in the balance. Fort Lee was abandoned and George Washington moved his troops to safety behind the Delaware River. Defeat hung in the air like thick smog as the demoralized troops began to fall apart in retreat. Sickness and desertion rates increased. Washington, Commander-in-Chief anguished; it was a very low point in the American Revolution. Washington needed to do something. Thomas Paine wrote of this defining period:
“These are times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”
Within a day of its publication in Philadelphia, General Washington ordered it be read to the troops encamped at Washington Crossing.
On December 26, 1776 at about three o’clock in the morning Washington marched approximately 2,700 soldiers off of the Jersey Bank of the Delaware River resolved to take victory. It was a pivotal point in the American Revolution, the Battle of Trenton. Although not much territory was gained, it was crucial to prove to a bunch of unrefined soldiers and anxious countrymen that a quest for independence could succeed! That is indeed what happened.
“First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, he was second to none in humble and enduring scenes of private life. Pious, just, humane, temperate, and sincere; uniform, dignified, and commanding; his example was edifying to all around him as were the effects of that example everlasting…” Congressman Henry Lee spoke of Washington shortly after his death in 1799.
Washington was a man of virtue, character and peace. He offered a firm warning against partisanship in domestic politics and called for Americans to work for the common good. He was persuaded to attend the Constitutional Convention of 1787 where he was unanimously elected President of the Convention. It was at this Convention that the office of the Presidency was designed.
On April 30, 1789, George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States in New York City. He is the only president to receive 100% of the electoral votes. Congress voted to pay the President a salary of $25,000, a large sum of money at the time. Already wealthy and viewing himself as a public servant Washington turned the salary down but later accepted so that the office of the president would not be limited to only the wealthy.
George Washington remains an iconic figure for leadership in the face of adversity the world over. He built character, expected greatness, and inspired loyalty in a new nation.

My dream is that I shall soar overtop of Susan's billboard and land gently upright atop the roof of the Las Vegas Boulevard EconoLodge. I came close!, and I will keep trying.

PREPARATION . . . Pass It On.
On January 15, 2009, after taking off from LaGuardia airport in New York City, an Airbus 320 struck a flock of birds and was forced to land in the Hudson River. The remarkable calm and skills of the pilot and crew have become an inspiration to people around the world.
With the loss of both engines and only seconds to make critical decisions at 3000 feet (914 m) above the river, all the training and preparation of everyone involved came into play. The pilot, copilot and crew had logged many hours of flight time and it was their steady demeanor that helped the passengers remain calm during an intense situation. The remarkable result was that all 155 persons on board survived with reports of only relatively minor injuries.
Additionally, the first responders from the ferry boats nearby acted quickly and employed their extensive training to make sure everyone got to shore safely.
No one involved had ever experienced anything quite like this and yet their countless hours of experience combined to achieve an inspiring and successful rescue which will serve as an example for years to come of the value of Preparation…Pass It On.
