We all know that elephants are know for their memory. But who knew LIONS were not quick to forget either! A friend sent this video to me and the story behind it is so heart stirring.
Apparently this woman in the video found this lion injured in the forest ready to die. She took the lion with her and nursed him back to health. When the lion was better she made arrangements with a zoo to take the lion and find him a new and happy home.
Sometime later, the woman went to go visit the lion to see how he was doing. This video captures that reunion; beautiful.
According to reports published by TMZ, Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger (best known for Ennis in "Brokeback Mountain) was found dead this afternoon in his bed in Soho, NY.
Foul play is not suspected and prescription pills were found near his body.
Heath Ledger starred in several box-office bonanzas, including The Patriot (2000) with Mel Gibson, A Knight’s Tale (2001) with Shannyn Sossamon, Monster’s Ball (2001), which won Halle Berry an Oscar, and The Lords of Dogtown (2005) with Nikki Reed. But Heath Ledger’s heartbreaking, Oscar-nominated performance as gay cowboy Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain (2005) raised his profile exponentially. Other Heath Ledger flicks included Candy (2006) and I’m Not There (2007).

I just had a few minutes to check out the video about the Apple MacBook Air. I WANT it! I want it bad.
I have been a PC user up until now but am seriously considering converting just because the Air is so cool.
Super Sleek
Aside from the incredible thinness (0.16 to 0.76 inch- about the size of your index finger) and light weight ( just 3 lbs!) it also offers the advantages of a full size notebook. Like a full size key board that is back lit for ease of use in low light situations such as conference rooms and airplanes.
Impressive Display
The glossy 13.3-inch,
widescreen LED backlit display is the same viewable size as
the screen on MacBook. The 1280-by-800 resolution gives you vibrant
images and rich colors at full brightness.
Built In Camera
Unlike most other ultraportable notebooks, MacBook Air includes a
built-in camera they refer to as iSite. The iSight camera along with iChat software makes video chatting
easy anywhere there’s a wireless network.
Slim Battery
This impressively slim battery does not compromise power. It is said to provide 5 hours of wireless activity.
Touchpad Capabilities
Last but not least is the feature that I loved most. The oversized trackpad with multi-touch technology.
This design is taken from the gesture based commands of the iPhone and Ipod. You can pinch, swipe,
or rotate to zoom in on text, advance through a photo album, or adjust
an image. It will recognize the difference between two finger commands and three finger commands.
The Dilemma…I know nothing about operating a Mac. I am a self taught PC user (other than the DOS class in high school many moons ago) and would not consider myself highly techy. But this machine is so sexy I feel like I must have it. But I am trepidatious. Is the conversion too hard to tackle for an ole gal like me? You know what they say about teaching old dogs new tricks. Will I feel lost and therefore less productive? I certainly dont have time to be less productive. These are the questions that I ask myself.
Of course the Apple Store offers free tutoring and classes that I can take, but again thats just more time invested that could be spent elsewhere. So what do I do??? I ask you Shak-ers that are Mac converts; will I regret it? Let me know what you all think so I can make the right decision.
I’ll eagerly await your vote…To Mac or not to Mac, that is the question.
I am devestated by the reports that Mathew McConaughey is having a baby with his girlfriend Camilla Alves. I read this at Inside Fatherhood.…
Matthew McConaughey announced on his website that he and girlfriend Camilla Alves are expecting a child together. The child will most likely surf and play bongos.
“My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together. …
It’s 3 months growin’ in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so
far. We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and gift from
God …”
Honestly, I could care less that he is about to become a father, but I
had dreams that it would be with Kate Hudson. I just love those two
together. They just look like the perfect couple. I know…who am I to
say. I just happen to LOVE the movie "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days".
That is one of my all time favorites.
Today I took a few minutes to plan for an upcoming trip I am about to embark on with a friend to beautiful Palm Springs, California for a much needed spa weekend. Impressed at the beauty, I decided to see what homes look like and go for in and around the area. One major celeb’s home that just came on the market caught my eye. It seems Suzanne Sommers has just listed her Palm Springs mansion for sale for a nominal $35 Million!
They just did a post about it over at Big Time Listings. But it seems The Real Estalker first broke the story on January 11th. Here’s the highlights;
SELLERS: Suzanne Somers and Alan Hamel
LOCATION: Alta Vista Road, Palm Springs, CA
PRICE: $35,000,0000
SIZE: 65 acres, 10 bedrooms, 9 full and 3 half bathrooms (spread across several buildings)
Maybe I should arrange for an "Agent Preview" while I am there! Think they’ll ask for a pre-approval letter???
Big Time Listings has a link to a virtual tour you can take of the estate (coined Les Baux de Palm Springs by Suzanne and her husband after their favorite French town by the same name) at http://www.lesbauxdepalmsprings.com.

I’m a big proponent of continued learning. I love to get smarter and could attend classes every week if I had the time. I would love my full time job to be traveling the Country and attending every conference, seminar and summit that is offered (and I often do). I love it that much.
One big reason why I attended the Inman News Real Estate conference in New York was because I wanted an unbiased opinion (no company affiliations) from researchers, business and finance experts and economist on the outlook for the 2008 real estate market in the US.
From most, the news was not good…The consensus was that the US is heading into a recession and the housing market is only going to get worse, said four out of the five panelist that spoke. They included;
Dottie Herman, President and CEO, Pridential Douglas Elliman
Barry Ritholtz, Chief Marketing Strategist, Ritholtz Research; CEO & Director of Equity Research, Fusion IQ
Noah Rosenblatt, Founder UrbanDigs.com, Licensed RE Salesperson, Citi Habitats
Professor Nouriel Roubini, Co-Founder & Chairman of RGE Monitor: Professor of Economics, New York University’s Stern School of Business.
"We are two years into a housing correction, seven months into a credit crisis with a huge debt problem and another two years before we reach the bottom", said the panelist. They went on to say that "foreclosures from the sub-prime debackle will exceed 2.5 million homes this coming year and we should see 10 million homes with negative equity."
Hmmm, not exactly what I was hoping to hear.
Brad Inman compared the 1978-1982 real estate decline to the current decline we are experiencing. He said,
"From 1978 -1982 we went from 4 million homes sold down to 2 million homes sold but recovered back to 4 million homes just two-three years later. Currently we went from 7 million homes sold in 2006 to just 5 million in 2007". He attributes the recovery in the early 80’s to the drop in mortgage rates to speed the recovery. This time, he says, "we’re just not sure how to turn it around…where’s the switch"? There is no obvious fix and lots of home owners are heading for trouble. He suggest that as real estate professionals, "we do all that we can to advocate for our clients to save their homes".
Ok, thats about as much negativity as I can handle, so be sure to tune in tomorrow for more from Connect 2008! Upcoming posts will include some of the 50 Best tools to use in this Market by Brian Boero, 1000 Watt Consulting. Also, the who’s who that I was lucky to meet one on one, as well as lots of other great info that I was privy to!
