Fun And Interesting Facts About
Elvis Presley
Elvis Aaron Presley was an Ameri-can singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the “King of Rock and Roll” or simply “the King.”
1. Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old.2. His music career began in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1954,
recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience.3. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues.4. In 1955, drummer D.J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley’s classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades.5. Presley’s first RCA single, “Heartbreak Hotel,” was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States.

Nutrition Nibbles...
What Makes Vegetables Less
Healthy?Boiling vegetables causes some
vitamins to escape in the water. To hold on to vitamins, briefly steam,
saute’, stir-fry, or microwave instead.
Overcooking destroys vitamins so try to keep your vegetables a little crispy.
Using a lot of margarine, butter, or salad dressing adds calories, not
nutrients. A small amount of these toppings is okay. But the more you add the more calories you add, too.
Frozen Vegetables that come with cheese sauce or other processed
flavoring are generally high in salt and fat. It is
healthier to season plain frozen vegetables yourself. Try fresh herbs,
garlic, toasted almonds, or sesame seeds.
Canned vegetables often have added salt. Read the label and look for “no
salt added,” “low sodium,” or “reduced sodium” varieties.

Homemade Root Beer Recipe
6 cups white sugar 3 1/3 gallons cold water 1 (2 ounce) bottle root beer extract 4 pounds dry ice
Directions: 1. Dry ice can be dangerous to handle. Never let children handle dry ice without proper supervision and gloves. Handle the dry ice with gloves so it does not burn your skin. 2. In a large cooler, mix together the sugar and water, stirring to dissolve sugar completely. Stir in the root beer extract. Carefully place the dry ice into the cooler, and cover loosely with the lid. Do not secure the lid, as pressure may build up. 3. Let the mixture brew for about an hour before serving. Leftover root beer can be stored in one gallon milk jugs.

Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. Dementia is a general term for memory loss and other problems that are serious enough to interfere with daily life. It’s not a normal part of aging, but the greatest risk factor is old age.
The majority of people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older. It is a progressive disease and the dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. The symptoms can range from mild memory loss early on to individuals losing the ability to carry on a conversation or respond to their environment. It is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States.
People with Alzheimer’s live an average of 8 years after the symptoms become noticeable to others. While there is still no cure, research continues. Treatments are available that can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve the quality of life for those with Alzheimer’s, as well as their caregiver. The most common symptom of Alzheimer’s early on is difficulty remembering newly learned information. This is because the disease typically begins in the part of the brain that effects learning. As it advances, more symptoms emerge such as disorientation, mood and behavior changes, deepening confusion about events, time and place and even unfounded suspicions about family, friends and caregivers. Alzheimer’s can eventually result in serious memory loss, difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking. People with Alzheimer’s may find it hard to recognize that they have a problem, even though it may be more obvious to family or friends. If you notice a loved one having dementia-like symptoms, it’s important to call their doctor and set up and appointment.
Canyonlands National Park is an American national park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. The park preserves a colorful landscape eroded into numerous canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 12, 1964.
The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the combined rivers—the Green and Colorado—which carved two large canyons into the Colorado Plateau. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Author Edward Abbey, a frequent visitor, described the Canyonlands as “the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere.

Gone, but not forgotten
Joe Rodriguez
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “And what starting salary are you
looking for?” The engineer replies, “In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.” The interviewer
inquires, “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company
matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?” The engineer sits
up straight and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?” The interviewer replies, “Yeah, but you started it.”
