This is an amazing clip from an amateur eyewitness on a safari in Africa!
Just watching Fox 11 Good Day LA while having my morning cup o' joe and heard that this video was voted "Best Eyewitness Video". Pretty amazing stuff! If you are an emphatic nature lover who does not appreciate the violent part of nature's balance than you may want to move on to the next post...

YES I DID RECIEVE AN EMAIL GRANTING PERMISSION TO REPOST THIS MESSAGE...

I want to use my TopProducer for emailing, but being that so many realtors use TopProducer many of the emails get caught in spam filters. Therefore, it becomes almost meaningless to utilize the email feature with many of the contacts in my database.
I have tried and am trying to route emails through my individual POP3 account through my domain host. At this time I have not switched over to allow TopProducer to host (which I think could solve the problem), because of the downtime in transferring the domain.
Anyhow, does anyone have a solution?
Please take time to respond if you have also dealt with this issue.
Today at a LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce member meeting regarding the future of Los Angeles Westside Real Estate I learned of this event. This is a don't miss for anyone concerned about the environment!

If you have ever thought about throwing your hazardous or toxic products in your trash and then decided to DO THE RIGHT THING and take them to a place that accepts hazardous or toxic products (includes electronics and batteries), you probably found out just how difficult and/or timely this can be. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO THE RIGHT THING!
I recently travelled to the closest dump, located in Santa Monica, to dispose of a couple old VCR's. Believe it or not, this dump is for Santa Monica residents ONLY!

Now that AR seems to have gone pink I am reposting this...
This was sent me by a fellow USC Trojan! Takes literally ten seconds to help breast cancer. Troy
The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
A group of students were asked by their teacher to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were a few disagreements, the following received the most votes:
-Egypt's Great Pyramids -The Taj Mahal -The Grand Canyon -The Panama Canal -The Empire State Building -St. Peter's Basilica -China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished and turned in her answers. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The little girl replied, "Yes, a little. I could not quite make up my mind because there are so many." The teacher asked her to tell the class what she had and maybe they could help her with her thoughts.
The little girl hesitated, then read:
"I think the seven wonders of the world are:
-To See
-To Hear
-To Touch
-To Feel
-To Laugh
-To Speak
-And to Love"
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!! A gentle reminder from God: The most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

Here is a powerful and amazing statement on Al Jazeera television.
The woman is Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychologist from Los Angeles . I would suggest watching it ASAP because I don't know how long the link will be active. This film clip should be shown around the world repeatedly!
A friend of my mother's sent this to me this morning... Not only do we need to teach our kids, but we need to learn from our kids as well!
Last week, I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.
As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.
He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already ."
