EDITORIAL Hi Folks, This morning, all the news is of Nadal´s triumphant win at Wimbledon. Add last week’s brilliant Euro 2008 final and our very own Alejandro Valverde, who was born in Las Lumbreras, winning the opening stage of the Tour de France it’s turning out to be a great year for our adopted country.

It’s nice to have some good news for a change even if it is sports (I´m usually not that interested in anything that generates a sweat). I´m tired of economics and politics... the current world situation is something we´ve seen before - everything cycles!

For our recipes this month we honor the 31th anniversary of Elvis´death with good ole southern food. I have included his favourite sandwhich but not sure I am brave enough to try it. Good luck with the Elvis quiz on page 63.

Sicily

Of all the regions of Italy, Sicily covers the largest land area at 25,708 km² and currently has five million inhabitants. It is also the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, several much smaller islands surrounding it are also considered to be part of Sicily. Along with Sardinia, the island is officially classified as a region of Insular Italy.

Throughout much of its history, Sicily has been considered a crucial strategic location due in large part to its importance for Mediterranean trade routes. The area was highly regarded as part of Magna Graecia, with Cicero describing Siracusa as the greatest and most beautiful city of all Ancient Greece.

Although a region of Italy today, Sicily was once its own country as the Kingdom of Sicily, ruled from Palermo. The kingdom originally ruled over the island, the southern Italian peninsula and Malta before the Sicilian Vespers.

It later became a part of the Two Sicilies under the Bourbons, with the capital in Naples rather than Sicily. Since that time Sicily is now an autonomous part of Italy.

Sicily is considered to be highly rich in its own unique culture, especially with regard to the arts, cuisine, architecture and even language.

The Sicilian economy is largely based on agriculture; this same rural countryside has attracted significant tourism in the modern age as its natural beauty is highly regarded. Sicily also holds importance for archeological and ancient sites such as the Necropolis of Pantalica and the Valley of the Temples.

Sicily is directly adjacent to the Italian region of Calabria, via the Strait of Messina to the east.

The early Roman name for Sicily was Trinacria, alluding to its triangular shape. Sicily has been noted for two millennia as a grain-producing territory. Citrons, oranges, lemons, olives,

Like the cuisine of the rest of southern Italy, pasta plays an important part in Sicilian cuisine, as does rice; for example with arancini.

As well as using some other cheeses, Sicily has spawned some of its own, using both cows and sheeps milk, such as pecorino and caciocavallo.

Spices used include saffron, nutmeg, clove, pepper, and cinnamon which were introducted by the Arabs. Although commonly associated with sea food cuisines, meat dishes including goose, lamb, goat, rabbit, and turkey are also found in Sicily, it was the Normans and Hohenstaufen who first introduced a fondness for meat dishes to the island.

Sicily has long been associated with the arts; many poets, writers, philosophers, intellectuals, architects and painters have roots on the island. The history of prestige in this field can be traced back to Greek philosopher Archimedes, a Syracuse native who has gone on to become renowned as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. Gorgias and Empedocles are two other highly noted early Sicilian-Greek philosophers, while

YOU CAN GO ALL A-TEAM ON YOUR BATH AND FASHION IT INTO A SPEEDBOAT – HUNDREDS OF RACERS DO EACH YEAR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BATHTUB RACE JULY 27 NANAIMO, CANADA Nobody ever said bathtubs had to be reserved solely for the purposes of hygiene and selfindulgent laziness. You could, after all, go all A-Team on your big vat of water and fashion it into a speedboat. Which is exactly what hundreds of bathtub racers do every year at the World Championship Bathtub Race in Nanaimo Harbour, British Columbia. Having somehow converted their tubs into boats – it costs about £1,500 to do so, if you’re tempted – complete with outboard motors of up to 8hp, the racers zip around a 36-mile course in their new high-octane bathtub boats. Much more fun, surely?

as well as the theme for the “SAIL PAST on WHEELS FUN PARADE” on the Saturday of the Bathtub Weekend. The “Spirit of Tubbing” competition encourages the entire business community to get in the “Bathtub Spirit” by decorating their business in the Marine Festival theme and having their staff dress in the “Official Bathtub Race T-shirts.

Judging takes place mid-month and awards for different sized businesses are handed out during the Marine Festival week and proudly displayed.”

This years Nanaimo Marine Festival’s salute is to the “150th anniversary of the Province of BRITISH COLUMBIA”. The salute will also be the theme for the city wide “Spirit of Tubbing” competition sponsored by the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce 30 Sunshine Magazine

HOROSCOPES

JULY 2008

Aries 21 March-20 April Your main focus in July is work and family. Only towards the end of the month are you feeling more sociable and playful. Your energy increases for work projects, and your job environment is especially lively. It’s a fabulous month for joining a gym or stepping up exercise and health routines. The 23rd brings professional concerns that you handle eloquently; and the 26th could bring a promotion or job offer.

Libra 22 September-22 October Career matters take center stage for most of July and uou possess extra charm and verve in your professional life. Behind the scenes projects also capture your interest, even if your life feels very public just now. Strong opportunities for love and fun occur and friendships are rewarding.

Attention to home and family is necessary and an important meeting with a person who influences your career choices occurs.

Taurus 21 April-20 May Romance has recently become a rather serious matter for you. Responsibility and maturity are themes this year when it comes to your romantic life. This may also be true of relationships with children. Love intensifies and having fun is a priority. July may be one of the most interesting and lively months of the year for you.

Scorpio 23 October-21 November Even if you don’t have solid travel plans, your mind is certainly focused on “getting away from it all” in July. Social life takes priority in your life. You have recently become very serious about your long-term goals, and this month you are especially motivated to put your plans and dreams into action. An important conversation with a friend occurs.

Gemini 21 May-21 June Money matters come into focus for you when discussions and ideas about finances and material security figure strongly. You may be tempted to spend money on things that will make your life more comfortable and pleasant, and work that needs to be done in and around the home becomes a priority. A quiet month is in store and you have opportunities to boost your feelings of security and comfort.

Sagittarius 22 November-22 December You pour more energy into self-promotion or business activities this month. While you are generally showing patience and developing strategies in most areas of life in July, impatience is likely when it comes to your professional life.

Competitive energies run high, and ego conflicts with those in authority could result.

Cancer 22 June-22 July July is a power month for you. It’s time to go after what you want with confidence. Opportunities to increase your income find you this month, and you are likely to receive gifts and other favors.

July is an excellent time to work on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

Capricorn 23 December-21 January Negotiating and one-on-one relationships figure strongly for you in July. A love affair may become a little more serious now. Spending time with someone special is a focus. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced this month and you are looking to expand your activities.

Leo 23 July-22 August Life winds down for you and you are able to get the rest you need before the power weeks ahead.

Although closing projects and withdrawing a little from the busy pace of your life is in order, you are highly motivated to make money. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.

Aquarius 22 January-21 February Taking care of business is a focus this month and practical matters are especially strong when you have opportunities to increase your income or influence on the job. Taking pride in your work figures now, and it’s a great month for improving your efficiency. A health routine started now is likely to be successful.

Virgo 23 August-21 September Friends and lovers take priority for most of July.

Your energy is seemingly boundless this month andothers might be surprised by your ability to assert yourself and your needs. You don’t find yourself lacking in opportunities to socialize.

You’re moving at top speed, but wind down in the last week of the month, when you are in need of some down time.

Pisces 22 February-20 March You are enjoying a pleasure peak and romantic relationships heat up, and partnering matters become very lively. Conflicts are a likely part of the picture, but generally lead to greater mutual understanding--and they certainly make for a lively time! Any disgruntlements that you or a significant other have been harboring are likely to surface now and demand attention.

John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy

superhero who is living in his own world.

He is depressed and drinking very heavily.

He has saved many lives in Los Angeles over the years, but in doing so, he has no regards for damaging buildings, trains, roads, cars, or anything that gets in his way to get the job done. The last time he captured several criminals, it cost the city $9 million to fix the damages. The public has had enough of Hancock, and they want him to stop or go to another city. Then one day, Hancock saves the life of Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) from being run over by a train. Ray feels he owes Hancock his life, and he makes it his mission to change this superhero’s image and have the public cheering him.

He persuades Hancock to go to prison so that the public will miss him and see that they need him. He reluctantly agrees and after a month the Chief of Police calls him to help save an officer who is pinned down in a bank robbery. Hancock saves the officer, removes 36 Sunshine Magazine

After the rescue the crowd begin to cheer Hancock, as Embrey had predicted. Embrey and his wife Mary (Charlize Theron) go out to lunch with Hancock and afterwards, while Ray is asleep after passing out from drinking too much, Hancock discovers that she is like him.

Mary reveals that they are members of an ancient race and are at least 3000 years old.

Formula 1 Silverstone

Flawless Hamilton triumphant at sodden Silverstone McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton gave his adoring fans exactly what they came to see at a sodden Silverstone on Sunday. A brilliant British Grand Prix victory in often treacherous conditions lifted him right back into contention for the world championship, on a day when Kimi Raikkonen failed to shine and Ferrari team mate Felipe Massa and BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica were the ones who came home pointless.

The race started on a damp track, with the promise of more rain to come. Hamilton touched wheels with pole-sitting team mate Heikki Kovalainen on lap one at Copse after making a terrific start, and edged ahead of him at Becketts on the fifth lap. Thereafter it was his race to lose, and the most crucial point came when both he and Raikkonen, an apparent threat at this stage, pitted on the 21st lap. But where McLaren gave their man another set of standard wet-weather Bridgestones, Ferrari kept theirs on the same set. Hamilton rocketed away from the red www.sunnynumbers.com

car, and Raikkonen slipped steadily down the order as strong mid-race performances from Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica put BMW Sauber into the frame for podium finishes.

Heavy rain in the middle of the race created further havoc, however, as driver after driver slipped and slid off the road. This was where clever strategic thinking by Ross Brawn at Honda saw the team risk bringing in both Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button for extreme wet tyres on the 35th lap. The Brazilian made great use of them and was able to push up into second place until a late switch back to intermediates. As Heidfeld clung on to a good second place, after making the right call for fresh intermediates at his first stop, Barrichello recovered to a podium finish that was a great boost to the Japanese team.

Behind them, Raikkonen finally fought his way out of a late-race battle with Renault’s Fernando Alonso and Kovalainen to finish fourth.

That means that Hamilton, Massa and Raikkonen now lead the world championship Sunshine Magazine 43

fight with 48 points apiece, with Kubica fourth on 46!

Kovalainen fought his way past Alonso in the closing stages for fifth, as Williams’ Kazuki Nakajima and Toyota’s Jarno Trulli closed in on them. On the last lap the Japanese racer’s attempts to pass the Spaniard dropped him a place, as Trulli saw an opening and pounced.

Nico Rosberg was ninth after a terrible race, in which he started from the pit lane and later damaged yet another nose and front wing after rear-ending Timo Glock’s Toyota. Mark Webber also had a terrible day, spinning on the opening lap after starting from the front row. He spun several more times on his way to 10th, ahead of Toro Rosso’s Sebastien Bourdais, Glock and Massa. All of them spun at least once, with Massa talking the award for the most spins (around six) and the dizziest driver by the end.

The extreme wet tyres did not turn the trick for Button, who ended his day off the road in the second Honda, as did Renault’s Nelson Piquet after a decent run. Both Force Indias also spun out of contention. And Sebastian 44 Sunshine Magazine

Vettel’s mistake on the first lap helped to put David Coulthard out of his last British Grand Prix.

“That,” Hamilton said afterwards, “was the toughest win of my career, but definitely the best.”

2ª Parte Struan Norte de Escocia

“BRAVE HEART” Juan Sánchez …Y haciendo caso omiso de mí, algo obsesivo, sentido de la armonía y el buen gusto, me adentré en los secretos de aquella casita de “Hansel y Gretel”, que no era más que un hotelito encantador y escrupulosamente distribuido, en sus interioridades, con todos los aditamentos y el singular sentido de la decoración típicamente inglés. (Muy recargado y pasado de “plasma”)

Aún así, me gustó mucho, muchísimo: las maderas nobles de la barra con altillo de diminutos balaustres del rojizo “Alerce” muy trabajado, los estilizados taburetes, que fortificaban el mostrador, de asientos de piel escarlata y bruñidos adornos , el repensado recibidor de entrada al establecimiento, que daba acceso al bar, Púb, o lo que fuera. Un saloncito muy recogido y discreto, aledaño a la barra, donde daban buena cuenta de unas “pintas” varias simpáticas y jocosas mozuelas, que supuse eran de la aldea, (Pero que vaya usted a saber de donde mamaron su primera leche). El final del bar se cerraba en una añosa puerta de roble que franqueaba el paso a lo que se entreveía como el salón comedor, y al asomarse se descubría una estancia donde predominaban los colores cálidos, quizás como contrapunto al gélido ambiente dominante en la región. Destacaban los ventanales guardados por unos visillos de evidente labor artesana, mobiliario típico y 50 Sunshine Magazine

mantelerías a juego con el entorno. Más debo decir que el conjunto tenía un entrañable aire de íntima salvaguarda, como un escenario preparado para los amoríos clandestinos, escapadas de <<neoenamorados>> (Párvulos de la escuela del amor y las artes amatorias), nidito de arrumacos y complicidad para con sus huéspedes.

Después de fisgonear un poco, o un mucho (Se tuvo que notar que soy de pueblo, concretamente de “Santiago y Zaraiche”), después de saludar a la muchachumbre del lugar presente en el bar, con un inglés de torpeza en grado sumo, ortopédico y oxidado, quise pedir una buena cerveza, fresca, sabrosa, espesa y bruna, una Guinness por ejemplo, que aunque no sea escocesa a mí siempre me lo ha parecido, será quizás por mi apego emocional por aquellas tierras tan recónditas e idealizadas por mi, siempre laboriosa, imaginación (¡Es irlandesa!, Dublinesa, la Guinness, lo anoto aquí para que sirva de orientación a los barrigudos cerveceros faltos de ilustración al respecto, aunque dudo mucho que, dichos gourmets del zumo de cebada, desconozcan ese dato).

El caso es que no había presencia alguna tras la barra, un vacío típico, por lo general, en los pueblos más desconocidos y menos hollados por el, siempre carroñero, turista urbanita, o, talvez fuese, que el pobre hombre que ponía las copas había ido a satisfacer alguna necesidad intestinal muy acuciante. Las mozalbetas, que realmente no lo eran tanto, avizoras y muy cotillas ellas, se percataron de mi desazón y mi desorientación sobre las costumbres del lugar. - ¡Ring the bell! .Dijeron, ellas, al unísono - What bell?. Pregunté, algo confuso.

A lo que ellas respondieron señalando el

www.sunnynumbers.com

mostrador. Y allí, en el centro de la barra, había una evidente campana de bronce, de las muy usuales en los barcos de pesca de todo el mundo. Hice ademán de cogerla para hacerla sonar (Ring the bell) y las <<ladys>> se partieron el culo de la risa….

La jodida campana estaba pegada, atornillada o soldada al puto mostrador.

Pero yo no debía ser el primero en picar, eso se notaba en la cara de aquellas pánfilas. Y me vinieron a la mente dos explicaciones diferentes para lo sucedido: o bien era una muestra del típico humor inglés, o por aquellos lares también pululan elementos mangantes, y desaprensivos amos de lo ajeno, (Como en todos lados, ¡coño!, como en todos lados. Eso decía mi buen amigo el camionero), o ambas cosas a la vez.

Junto a los grifos de cerveza, había un pequeño “Gong” (Ese curioso artilugio oriental), que desentonaba enormemente entre aquella decoración decimonónica, y era esa la <<Campana>> que había que zamarrear, pero las hijas de la gran bretaña aquellas, solo te lo decían tras haber hecho el pardillo con el otro batintín. Con más ganas de cachondeo por mi parte, hice uso del platillo metálico en varias ocasiones, llamando, así, la atención del mesonero escocés. Se presentó en la barra, al oír el escándalo, una figura bajita, regordeta, tocada con una espesa barba mofletuda y canosa, y ataviado con la indumentaria folclórica de aquel país: falda escocesa (Kilts), de un llamativo <<Tartán>>,(Tejido a cuadros que da forma a la prenda y cuyo dibujo define la pertenencia a un determinado <<Clann>>), largos y gruesos calcetines con la misma trama, camisa blanca, chaqueta con

botonadura dorada y gorrito con pompón y toda la parafernalia. Lo cual no me extrañó ni un pelo. Todo, por aquellos lares, estaba pintado a cuadros escoceses.

Conteniendo mi risa, alentada por la cizaña de aquellas mindangas angloparlantes, pedí una caña, mejor dicho, media <<Pinta>>, que viene a ser lo mismo, - Half a pint, please. Me sorprendí, a mí mismo, chapurreando un inglés sacado de aquellas entrañables películas de Alfredo Landa. Pero surtió efecto, y el gnomo vestido de fiesta me puso una caña de una enturbiada cerveza rojiza, que parecía…, bueno no voy a decir lo que parecía. Hacía un relativo calor, y la cerveza entraba de muerte: - one more please, other, and other…. No sé cuantas, se estaba en la gloria en aquella terraza cubierta por las horrorosas sombrillas playeras, donde me aposente para mejor observar aquel paisaje rural tan diferente (Tan Guiri), pero tan familiar a mi imaginación…

Y cogí el teléfono móvil, era el momento exacto de hacer una llamada, una llamada que llevaba posponiendo siete inacabables años, siete años de yerros y absurda obsesión, ochenta y cuatro meses, trescientas setenta y ocho semanas, dos mil quinientos cincuenta y seis días con sus tantas noches.

Una llamada que iba a vencer todas las tormentas pasadas, una voz que, desde los tres mil quinientos kilómetros que nos separaban, acercaría nuestras palabras, que no nuestros distantes corazones. Un discurso mil veces repensado, unos sencillos pensamientos afinados, pulidos, concretos, directos y reveladores de mi verdad. Verdad con letras de neón, destellantes ideas que no se habían disuelto en el mar de la indiferencia que separó nuestras vidas.

En todo eso pensaba mientras saboreaba la enésima pinta, aquel néctar divino, madurado en la ignorancia de mis tribulaciones. Cogí el teléfono, busqué su número en la agenda y, antes de darle a la tecla de llamada, miré aquella - half a pint de cerveza, tan <<turbia>> como ella…

¡No merece la pena!, pensé… y colgué.

Y, no sé como, se coló en mi reflexión lo del valeroso corazón Escocés: << Brave Heart >>, a la vez que sonaba, en mi mente, aquella famosa copla Española de mediados del siglo pasado: “Están clavadas dos cruces/ en el monte del olvido/ por dos amores que han muerto/ si haberse comprendido…” ¡La cerveza estaba cojonuda! - ¡One more, please!

Un saludo para, casi, tod@s Juan Sánchez – 20/04/2008

WHAT’S MY USP?

by Amanda Judson MBA I recently had a conversation with two of my clients, separate occasions, and the acronym USP came up. I thought it would be a good topic to cover for this month´s business article.

USP - Unique Selling Proposition One way you differentiate your business from direct or indirect competition is by offering some distinct and appealing feature, benefit, or idea that sets you apart from the rest of the ‘me-too’ herd. This is your Unique Selling Proposition or USP. The concept of a USP has been around for a long time, but many business owners are unaware of its incredible value. Your USP is something you can offer your clients or customers that is of benefit to them and gives you an advantage over, or sets you apart from, the competition.

If you can’t answer the following question, you are losing out on business you could be getting and should be getting, but aren’t. And that’s the biggest “expense” in your business.

Why should people do business with you not go somewhere else? What do you have to offer that’s different, and is of a distinct benefit to the people you are trying to serve?

And we don’t mean the usual yada, yada about “we have great quality or “we’re very reliable.” Everyone uses those - even if they don’t deliver. So that’s hardly UNIQUE. When I lived in the US, I had business owners from a variety of businesses and industries attend my marketing workshops, Very few of them have been able to state what their USP was. It really stumped them. But to their credit, they immediately saw the value and necessity of working this out for their businesses.

A pizza company, in its early years, was literally built around this USP: “We deliver within 30 minutes or you get it free.” This lifted the company out of the herd of other pizza “me-toos” and increased the company’s sales by millions. www.sunnynumbers.com

small but amazing Once you are clear about your USP you have to really live up to it. It can’t just be lip service. You have to embody it. You have to be it. You have to deliver on it.

Remember, you are NOT trying to appeal to everybody. Your USP should be aimed at, and appeal to, your target market. So you’d better know who they are, and how to reach them with your message. If not, it’s time to survey and find out.

Your advertising and special promotions should feature your USP. So should your fliers, business cards, print ads, etc. Often the USP is all anyone can remember about a company. But that’s all they need to remember to keep them coming back.

Will was born and raised in West Philadelphia and Germantown in Northwest Philadelphia. His mother, Caroline was a school administrator who worked for the Philadelphia school board, and his father, Willard Christopher Smith, Sr., was a refrigeration engineer.

Smith’s charming and sly demeanor in school resulted in the nickname “Prince”, which eventually turned into the “Fresh Prince”.

Will Smith While still in his teens, Smith began rapping and eventually began collaborating with Jeff Townes (a.k.a. D.J. Jazzy Jeff), whom he met at a party. He attended Overbrook High School in West Philadelphia. D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince was born with Smith handling the rhymes and Townes overseeing the mastery of mixing and scratching – the combination was a pop and hip-hop hit during the 1980s and early 1990s.

While it is widely reported that Smith turned down a scholarship to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he never applied to MIT, although he was admitted to a “pre-engineering program” there. According to Smith, “My mother, who worked for the School Board of Philadelphia, had a friend who was the admissions officer at MIT. I had pretty high SAT scores and they needed black kids, so I probably could have gotten in. But I had no intention of going to college.”

Smith started as the MC of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, with his childhood friend Jeffrey “DJ Jazzy Jeff” Townes as turntablist and producer as well as Ready Rock C (Clarence Holmes) as the human beat box. The trio was known for performing humorous, radio-friendly songs, most notably “Parents Just Don’t Understand” and “Summertime.” They gained critical acclaim for winning the first ever Grammy in the Rap category (1988). He had a line in “Voices That Care”, a 1991 Gulf War song by a celebrity group.

Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith created the UPN (later CW) sitcom All of Us, which was loosely based on their lives. The show debuted on UPN in September 2003 and aired there for three seasons before moving to The CW in October 2006 for one more season. The CW cancelled All of Us in May 2007.

Smith also released a string of hit singles, often associated with his most recent film, throughout the late 1990s. The most notable of these were his #1 hit theme song “Men in Black”, the #1 hit “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” (which made jiggy a catchphrase for a while in 1998), and a cover of “Just the Two of Us”, an affectionate message to his young son.

His first two solo albums went platinum, but his third, on Columbia Records, was a sales disappointment compared to his past efforts, and after a quick Greatest Hits release that was almost not advertised at all, he was dropped by the label. He signed a 58 Sunshine Magazine

recording contract with Interscope Records and released the successful Lost & Found in 2005. The album was propelled solely on the smash hit single, “Switch”, which appealed to the mainstream a la “Summertime”. The single stayed atop the charts for months and returned Smith to the forefront of hip-hop.

In 2005, Smith was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for attending a record breaking three premieres in a 24-hour time span.

Smith married Sheree Zampino in 1992.

They had a son, Willard Christopher III, also known as “Trey”, but divorced in 1995.

Trey appeared in his father’s music video for the 1998 single “Just The Two Of Us”.

Smith married actress Jada Pinkett in 1997.

Together they have had two children: Jaden Christopher Syre (born 1998), his co-star in The Pursuit of Happyness, and Willow Camille Reign (born 2000). Along with his brother, Harry Smith, he owns Treyball Development Inc., a Beverly Hills-based company named after his first son. •

Gracelands

The final resting place of a legend Photos courtesy of Jo Grimes and Jim Phillips.

Elvis Aaron Presley, was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in Mississippi on January 8, 1935. Twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. The family moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953. In 1954, he began his singing career with the legendary Sun Records label in Memphis. With a sound and style that uniquely combined his diverse musical influences and blurred and challenged the social and racial barriers of the time, he ushered in a whole new era of American music and popular culture. He married Priscilla Beaulieu in 1967 and their daughter Lisa was born February 1st 1968.

Elvis starred in 33 successful films, made history with his television appearances and specials, and knew great acclaim through his many, often record-breaking, live concert performances on tour and in Las Vegas.

Globally, he has sold over one billion records, more than any other artist. His American sales have earned him gold, platinum or multiplatinum awards for 150 different albums and singles, far more than any other artist.

His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to millions, as did the humility and human kindness he 62 Sunshine Magazine

demonstrated throughout his life. Known the world over by his first name, he is regarded as one of the most important figures of twentieth century popular culture. Elvis died aged 42 at his Memphis home, Graceland, during one of his daughter´s visits, on August 16, 1977. She was only 9 years old at the time.

Graceland is the name of the 13.8 acre estate which Elvis bought for approx $100,000 in 1957. The grounds were named after the original owner´s daughter, Grace Toof, and the portion of the land designated as Graceland today, was given to a niece who, in 1939 had the present American “colonial” style mansion built.

The mansion consists of 23 rooms including 8 bedrooms and bathrooms. After purchasing the property, Elvis carried out extensive modifications including: a fieldstone wall surrounding the grounds, a wrought iron music styled gate, a swimming pool, a racquetball court and the famous “Jungle Room” which features an indoor waterfall.

One other addition was the meditation Garden where Elvis used to go to reflect on any problems or situations that arose during his life. The garden was made public in 1978 and is where Elvis, Gladys, Vernon and his grandmother are now buried. www.sunnynumbers.com

Priscilla became chairwoman and president of Elvis Presley Enterprises and opened Gracelands to the public as a museum in 1982 as it was costing in excess of $500,000 a year in upkeep, dwindling the inheritance of their daughter to $5 million. After Graceland opened to the public, the enterprise´s fortunes soared and eventually the trust grew to be worth over $100 million. Graceland is now the second most visited private residence in USA, behind the White House. In Aug 2005, Lisa sold 85% of the business side of her father´s estate. She kept the Graceland property itself, as well as the bulk of the possessions inside, and she turned over the management of Graceland to CKX. Inc, an entertainment company that owns 19 Entertainment, creator of American Idol TV show.

In 2006, CKX announced plans to turn Graceland into an international tourist destination or par with The Disney or Universal, and doubling the 600,000 annual visitors. The company is working to improve the tourist area around Graceland, which is located in an economically-depressed area of Memphis, while keeping intact the historic home. They are asking local governments to help improve some of the public spaces around Graceland while CKX will expand the visitor centre, build a 500 room convention hotel and a high-tech museum with exhibit space to showcase thousands of pieces of Elvis memorabilia that have never been seen.

The current museum contains many Elvis artifacts, like his famous Vegas jumpsuits, awards, gold records, the Lisa Marie jetliner, and Elvis´extensive audio collection.

An annual procession through the estate and past Elvis´ grave is held on the anniversary of his death on 16th August.

There was an estimated 40,000 people assembled for the 25th anniversary in 2002.

Air conditioning • Why does the prices of air conditioning range so much? (between 150,- and 1000,- Euros?)

• What does all this jargon mean like: Inverter, frigorias, normal machine, conducts, 2 x 1, ecological gas etc?

• Why are manuals never in your language?

• Does air conditioning really heat your home in the winter, and is it energy saving?

• Which units make the most noise and which are the quietest?

• Does AC pass on illnesses?

What is Blogging?

Well now you can, and if you do, you’ll be joining the phenomenon that has become ‘blogging’.

by Amanda Judson

Blogging is a way of collecting links to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online.

Blogs (or Weblogs) are basically online journals or diaries which are great for sharing information and ideas.

Blogger.com says: “A blog is a personal diary.

A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts.

Memos to the world.”

Blogging has become something of a big thing in the last few years, and some of the biggest and best known weblogs attract the kind of traffic that even big name e-commerce sites would be jealous of.

Weblogs are more than pages of links - they tend to reflect the personalities of their owners. They are personal web pages, updated very often. They are the product of their owners’ imaginations, interests and wit, and it’s probably this personal touch which has made them so popular, especially for political issues.

Surfing’s no fun if you can’t tell people what you’ve found. How many times have you sent e-mails to your mates with the address of a To create your own blog go to: particularly interesting web page, annotated with your own hilarious comments? www.blogger.com or www.blog.com Wouldn’t it be good to get your own web page where you could publish these comments, plus the links you find, turn it into a daily journal of thoughts and ideas and make the whole thing available to the world?

Next month we´ll look at Social Networking
