1) Elvis Presley Quotes:

“When you’re not in love, you are not alive.”

"I knew by heart all the dialogue of James Dean's films; I could watch "Rebel Without a Cause" a hundred times over. "

"I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to. "

Lisa Marie Quotes

I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.

I'm a hypochondriac. Yesterday it was brain damage from the vodka the night before. Today, heart attack - my arm and chest started hurting at the same time.

2) Elvis Presley & other Legends

As noted by Henry Pleasants, in his book "The Great American Popular singers", Elvis Presley was a baritone whose voice had an extraordinary compass - the so-called register- and a very wide range of vocal color.

The voice covered two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. Presley's best octave was in the middle, D-flat to D-flat.

In ballads and country songs he was able to belt out full-voiced high G's and A's, showing a remarkable ability to naturally assimilate styles, and elliciting a multiplicity of voices.

Presley's range, albeit impressive in its own right, did not in itself make his voice that remarkable, at least in terms of how it measured against musical notation. What made it extraordinary, was where its center of gravity laid.

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
Can’t Help Falling In Love

This new feature of our ezine is for karaoke superstars & the fans that just like to sing-along with the King.

Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you

5) Party Planner tips:

Plan Your Parties Right

Attending a party is sure fun; hosting one is a different story. However, as a host, one can minimize the incidences of party boo-boos with some careful planning ahead.

Here are some party planning tips to make a party run smoothly:

-Think creatively when planning for a party theme. Aim for novelty. Make it something the guests will talk with their friends about.

-Giving out written invites is a fine idea. Aside from having the party details such as the theme, attire, place, date and time, try to make them look creative and add some personal touch.

-Scents, sounds and sights in the venue should all blend to create a festive ambiance. Lights and decorations should set the party mood. Try replacing the light bulbs with low wattage colored bulbs or black lamps. Light up scented candles to fill the venue with a nice scent. Have some good music playing softly in the background. Get the television out of the party area.

-Arrange for provisions for parking for the guests. Please ask the neighbors regarding options for parking or tell them in advance if the guests are parking on the street.

-Try to move away expensive furniture and carpets around the party area until the party is over. In any case, always have some stain remover within easy reach.

-Serve foods which complement each other. Avoid having to serve foods messy to eat as well as those with gooey sauces; especially if the guests are to eat while standing and mingling. It is advisable to limit the number of food choices but offer them in larger quantities instead of having a wide range of choices but in smaller quantities. Try serving finger foods and remember to have something for the vegetarian guests.

-Prepare accommodations for the smokers. Also, inform them in advance if the venue for the party is a non-smoking household.

-If alcoholic beverages will be served, stock up as much ice as you can. Having two punch bowls is also a good option; reserve the other one for those who are not up for alcohol. More importantly, be concerned with the safety of the guests: make sure that the guests drink in moderation, especially those who are driving home after the party.

-If the budget allows, consider other forms of amusement such as strolling musicians, karaoke, fortune tellers and the like.

In parties, it is the details that spell the difference. It is important to plan ahead and keep organized. But what is more important is enjoying the whole process altogether. Have fun partying!

8) Editor’s Notes & Fun Stuff:

Some humour to put a smile on your face!

The Four Cats

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.

The first man was an Engineer,
the second man was an Accountant,
the third man was a Chemist, and
the fourth man was a Public Servant.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat, 'T-square, do your stuff.'

T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, 'Spreadsheet, do your stuff.'

Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.

Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, 'Measure, do your stuff.'

Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Public Servant and said, 'What can your cat do?'

The Public Servant called his cat and said, 'CoffeeBreak, do your stuff.'

CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet.......

ate the cookies........

drank the milk.......

sh*t on the paper.......
screwed the other three cats.......
claimed he injured his back while doing so.......
filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions.......
put in for Workers Compensation...............and

went home for the rest of the day on sick leave............

AND THAT, MY FRIEND IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!
