Justin Bieber has been covering Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" for a while. Remember when he uploaded this cute video four years ago?
The Biebs pulled the song out of the vault a few months ago and performed the song during his Believe tour stop in Boston after rumors that he and Selena Gomez had broken up. Since then, they got back together, and well, broke up again.
At Selena's 3rd Annual UNICEF Charity acoustic concert, she performed a number of covers which included "Cry Me A River." Before going into the song, she told the audience, "I've been through a lot the last couple of months. It's been sad and cool, but interesting. This song definitely speaks to me."
So whose cover of "Cry Me A River" do you like best?

I am in my early forties, in good physical shape and have scaled back from activities to allow myself time to recharge. However as I go through life each day I feel like I've lost my confidence - in myself, my skills and the factor that makes others drawn to you. I've also taken time to speak with a professional to assist me in working through things however I do not feel depressed, just lacking and want the ability to walk with that confident stride once again.
How do I get this back?
I hope this helps a little? Good luck!!!
Spencer statement that a skill once learned is never lost is dumb. Many skills depend on muscle memory, strength, and reaction times, which can all fade from disuse. Regain a skill by going through the learning process and practice all over again.
Patience and humility will allow you to grow as competent or better than before.
To attract others, be confident, be helpful, be positive. You can't have confidence backed by ... not much. Perhaps pick a challenging new skill, and devote adequate practice time to it.
Stay with it and truly grow in competence.
I have done rehab and recovery from massive heart disease, and learned pretty much the entire mechanism of how it works, how to prevent it, and foods that help block or reduce it. All from real research. I love helping others understand what they may have, what to tell or ask their doctors, and explaining why I do everything I do for my health. I am in excellent health. The past six days, I rowed 4 1/2 miles, played 2 hours of volleyball, played 6 hours of volleyball, played 4 hours of volleyball, took a day off and only walked a mile and a half, then today played 2 more hours of volleyball in addition to another 1 and 1/2 mile walk. Not bad for 60.
People at work see my consistent healthy eating habits, and eventually approach me and ask how and why I can tolerate such a consistent and very healthy diet. With no exceptions, every person who has engaged me in conversation on this has altered their eating habits gets more exercise. Many have told me how much better they feel.
At volleyball, despite being the oldest on the court, I work hard to improve and be a valued addition to almost any team. Even if the weak link, I go after and am successful with many defensive plays you may rarely see others attempt. I love to compete. New players get the idea to TRY, and to do their best. Its not about being great, just do what you can to be helpful. Sometimes it helps the most to say nothing, but be a model of how you hope others will try to play.
Rowing I show others how to be more efficient, and be faster using less energy. Everyone loves to improve. Help yourself, help others. With anything. Being appreciated is fantastic. Take yourself there.
Wow, talk about an over-inflated EGO???
I'll work at keeping my chin up and definitely I have to work on that self-talk - I'm not great at that aspect and I know I should be better.
All in all, I really appreciate you taking the time to post and provide me your experience. Now I just have to learn to find the right kind of friends that give a positive environment *and* learn that I can't change or help with everything. Some folks, no matter how kindly it is done, just don't want to hear it.
I do believe that Dennis was giving his personal experience. Each experience is different and brings a better whole picture. Calling someone's thoughts dumb probably wasn't the best choice to engage a community of people. Still, I truly appreciate your experience and words of wisdom on the subject.
Thank you for your kind words! Some friend you have there. If, as you said, you stepped up kindly, and respectfully, and got trashed for it, wow, some friend. I am sorry your confidence took a hit! You are so right, some people can be challenging!
I wish you all the best! I hope you can look up some topics on self talk? I think Dr. Becker-Phelps may be of some service there? Go to the "Relationships and coping community", that is where you can find her. Just click on one of the topics she has posted, and hopefully, you can get to talk with her? Well, at least by posting to each other. Or, once you get to that community, start your own post, that would be best, I think???
Anyway, good luck with all you do!!! Take care!
Great resource for self-talk. I'll follow up on that and appreciate the interaction.
All my best!
Focus and do your best, where ever that is. If not up to your own standards, work on it. That's how we all improve.
Over-inflated ego ? No. More on the fragile side. 45 years as an amateur athlete, 35 of interest in exercise physiology. 60 being a slim athlete rejected out of hand based on appearance. Its not fun. The fun part of being picked last is when you turn out to be the difference maker, show total dedication and tireless effort, and your team wins and your contribution is integral to it. And hearing, "Thanks, great game". Great to hear it week after week.
Seven years researching heart disease and exercise rehabilitation, and experimenting on myself. Tells me I know a lot more than a whole lot of people. Mainly the ones who have not done it.
Boot camps typically push people too hard, and over do things based on the unfortunate rhyme of No pain, No gain.
Even muscle burn is an indication of a step too far. Would pouring acid in you arteries be a good thing ? Well muscle burn is similar, and unnecessary. It won't kill you today or tomorrow, but its not doing anything beneficial for your blood vessels, and may be doing them some harm long term.
Eat healthy, do well managed cardio with warmup, increase you lifts by 5% every three weeks, and you can quadruple your strength in two years, and never get tired.
Success breeds confidence. My doctor was almost willing to put money on it 7 years ago that I would be dead in 2. I am sure he also would have bet against me playing 16 hours of volleyball in a week at any time. he would have lost both bets.
I know what I know. Based on facts, good research, and good science.
Be around positive people. Someone is negative, ask what the hell is wrong with them. Don't let them get away with it.
Maybe they are having a bad day caused by someone else, and they could use some support.
If the muscle used in a skill have atrophied and weakened, and lack coordination from disuse, what is left is memory of the skill, and confidence that you can do it again. You can "learn" it again faster. By regaining strength and coordination and getting the muscles to do what you want them to do.

TOWN OF BRADLEY, Wis. (AP) -- A Merrill man has drowned while trying to help his daughter who was struggling while swimming in a Lincoln County lake.

Comets drop match at PH
- Last Updated on 08:04 AM 05/01/13
- BY Doug Ford
The Halifax County High School boys tennis team saw its recent momentum take a step back with an 8-1 loss at Patrick Henry High School on Monday.
Jonathan Thomas and Michael Good won at number two doubles for the Comets' only win of the match.
Nevertheless, Coach David Riddle said his team gave a solid effort against a perennially strong Patrick Henry team.
"We were hoping to carry the momentum from last week's win against Franklin and the Heritage Invite Championship into today and get a win, but PH proved to be too strong," said Riddle.
"We came out rather flat in singles and were never able to get any momentum going there.
"As a coach, I was pleased to see us play strong in doubles even though we had already lost the match.
"We were able to pick up a big win and the two spot and came close at three as well.
"Still, this was a lot stronger than we played PH last season, or in a good while for that matter."
Halifax County saw its Western Valley District record fall to 4-3 with the loss.
The Comets are 9-4 overall.

The actual planning period can be a fast-paced process, and it's hard to fully prepare — especially if it's your first event.
But what if you could find a way to enjoy and remain stress-free about it from start to finish?
One option is to delegate. And by "delegate," I mean let Kindt Events (808-6398; kindtevents.com) handle it.
And by "it," I mean let Kindt do everything. Kindt Steven Myers is a local gentleman with a knack for putting together beautiful events.
"I will refer, procure, organize, order and manage every event professional needed for your event, to ensure a seamless and successful party from start to finish," he said.
Myers specializes in social events and weddings, and his company will even plan your destination wedding.
If having a hand in the planning is important to you, then consider visiting Marianne's Rentals (225 W. Britton; 751-3100). This is a one-stop shop. Rent a bar.
No, seriously. You can rent an actual structure to hold all your booze, down to trays and cake stands, as well as linens and glassware.
Marianne's is a trusted name within the metro — a go-to party planning shop for 25 years.
You'll need some food and drink to fill the dishes you just rented, right? Most liquor stores offer case discounts. Pop into Freeman Liquor Mart (4401 N. Western; 524-8031) for questions on pricing. Freeman's has an excellent selection of wine and champagne — perfect for posh parties — and can special order whatever isn't on hand.
Alcohol is easy, but food can be kind of tricky. You'll likely have a few vegetarians and possibly a vegan to consider. Don't forget many people are gluten-free!
Zorba's Mediterranean Cuisine (6014 N. May; 947-7788) can alleviate the stress of finding and making recipes that work for everyone. Grab a tray of pita ($8), a pint of tabouli salad ($7) and a pint of its delicious hummus ($5.75) and you've got yourself a party. Include a tray of fresh-cut veggies for the gluten-conscious who can't enjoy the pita or tabouli.
There's more than one way to plan your party. Relax and have fun. Let's shop, OKC!

The old adage that everything old will be new again is an old adage because it's true. In Grandpa's day, veterinarians' livelihood
relied on one very simple concept: relationships. As Dr. Michael Paul has told me, "Back in the day, veterinarians made it
their business to know about a client's child graduating from high school or to send a sympathy card to another client who
lost her mother."
From these relationships, trust and a practice are built.
So what's happened? By now, you know that nationwide veterinary visits have been declining for about a decade. In an effort
to solve this problem, the AVMA, the American Animal Hospital Association, industry leaders, and other partners combined their
efforts to form the Partners for Pet Health.
A minor problem? No—this is a crisis! How can veterinarians care for pets they're not seeing?
The impact of this crisis is undeniable. Back in 2009, I warned in national newspaper columns that not visiting the veterinarian
would have severe consequences for pets—and therefore families. After all, for many of us, pets are family.
Today, preventable problems are up. There are lots of examples in the Banfield Hospital State of Pet Health 2011 Report. Here's
just one. Internal parasites were up 13 percent in dogs and increased 30 percent in cats compared to 2006.
Not a big deal? Think about it. Not only are more pets unnecessarily getting sick, but some of these parasites are zoonotic.
So, there's a public health component. Even flea infestations were up!
These half-dozen factors aren't fiction—but many are also pretty complex. These six don't even cover it all, because there's
already a big No. 7. In my opinion, the profusion of parasiticides now available over the counter contributes big time to
the decline in veterinary visits. My pet-owning readers, listeners, and viewers tell me that they're purchasing these products
in other places, so they don't see the need to visit the veterinarian.
I'm one of the journalists writing about pets who publicly states that making a random OTC choice may not be right for pets
or their families. When pet owners skip the veterinarian, they miss out on crucial conversations about applying and using
the product correctly. Worst of all, the pets may miss a regular wellness visit. I assume I'm preaching to the choir here,
but I'm regularly reminding pet owners about the importance of the veterinarian listening to the pet's heart, running blood
work, weighing the pet, asking about nutrition and behavior as well as parasite protection, and simply eyeballing the animal.
Has the value of the routine exam been communicated to the average pet owner? I don't believe so.

"The cooling, tranquil feeling of resting beside still waters... what trouble or pain could not be hushed by such moments? And yet, in the rushing of our lives, each of us at times seem to prefer the raging torrents to the quiet brook - why else wouldn't we seek daily those waters that are still? Stillwater Cottage is an attempt to reflect waters that are still and inviting. I hope you can linger a moment or two". - Thomas Kinkade.

The Orange Leader
The West Orange-Stark Mustang Chain Gang Defense rose up once again Friday night.
That means that the Lorena Leopards will be sore all weekend.
The Mustangs forced Lorena into four turnovers and stopped them four different times on fourth down and limited the Leopards to just 159 total yards as WO-S recorded its ninth shutout of the season, this time 28-0 in the Class 3A Region III Division II semifinals at Waller Stadium.
Next up for the Mustangs (13-0), a Region III Finals date with top-ranked Navasota (13-0) next week. The Rattlers tripped up La Marque 31-20 Friday night in the other regional semifinal.
The Mustangs limited standout Lorena junior quarterback Harris Coleman to just 73 yard yards on a stunning 33 carries. Coleman also tossed three interceptions, one of them returned 73 yards for a touchdown by Deionte Thompson and he also fumbled to lead WO-S to another score.
Coleman was just 7-of-16 for 54 yards. Coleman had more than 1,800 yards rushing and 1,600 yards passing entering the game.
"The kids set the tone early with outstanding defense," said Mustang coach Cornel Thompson. "I tell you what, we beat a pretty hard-nosed, talented football team tonight. When you reach this level, you're playing no slouches. There was some hitting going on tonight. That Coleman kid is tough as nails but he's going to be sore in the morning. We're going to have a few guys sore too because that young man was a load to bring down."
The Mustangs picked up 318 efficient yards against the Leopards (10-3).
Quarterback Jimmy Salter completed 8-of-14 passes for 107 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown dart to standout receiver J'Marcus Rhodes. Salter also ran for another score.
Mustang tailback Abear Simien had another outstanding, tough game. He churned out 83 yards on 18 carries. Salter did have 48 yards on 12 totes.
"Offensively, we did some good things," said Thompson. "We had some penalties that stalled us there in that first quarter but they battled back. We moved the ball on the ground pretty well when we had too and Jimmy made a couple nice throws, especially that pass to Rhodes over the middle in the third quarter."
On the second play of the second half, Thompson came up huge again for the Mustangs, picking off a Coleman pass at the WO-S 36 with 11:16 left in the third.
Three plays later, Salter connected with a wide-open Rhodes on a 51-yard touchdown slant pass over the middle, making it a quick 21-0 with 10:11 in the third.
"Deionte had a huge game for us and he's had a quite a few of those for us this year and sometimes you forget he's just a sophomore," said Thompson. "Then when Jimmy hit J'Marcus with that big pass play, that kinda broke Lorena's back right there."
The Mustangs moved from their own 48 to the Leopard 20 with 1:34 in the third but the Leopards blocked a 37-yard field goal attempt by Rodrikson Cano.
WO-S cashed in on Coleman's fourth turnover of the game in the fourth period when a host of Mustangs stuffed him and linebacker Joe Lynch fell on the loose leather at the Leopard 31 with 9 minutes remaining in the game.
Five plays later, Quinton Tezeno scored from 20 yards from the Wildcat quarterback spot, barreling through the middle for a 20-yard romp, making it 28-0 with 6:25 left.
Now the Mustangs can turn their attention to the No. 1-ranked Navasota Rattlers.
"One thing for sure, Navasota is ranked No. 1 for a reason," said Thompson. "They're the real deal. But you know what, we've got a pretty darn good little old football team ourselves. I know one thing, we're going to have to have the best week of preparation we've had all year coming up next week. That's what high school football is all about, two 13-0 teams getting after it. We're looking forward to the challenge."
WO-S held Lorena to just 72 total yards in the first half. Coleman rushed for 33 yards on 16 carries but had a crucial interception that Thompson took back 73 yards for a score. He completed 5-of-9 passes for 23 yards.
The Mustangs stifled the Leopards in WO-S territory three times in the first half and Thompson made Lorena pay with 7:12 left in the half when he picked off a Coleman pass at the Mustang 27 and showing great speed, went 73 yards down the left sideline for the touchdown.
"I kinda saw the whole thing coming at me in slow motion," said Deionte Thompson. "We saw that formation they were running and worked on it in practice all week. Once I saw the receiver come into motion towards my side, I knew what was coming. I hit the spot, caught the ball and saw nothing but wide-open field. I was so glad nobody caught me. I didn't think they would because I had my adrenaline flowing."
Cano booted the extra-point as the Mustangs snagged the 7-0 lead.
The Chain Gang held firm at the 3:55 mark of the half when they stuffed Coleman on a fourth-and-1 keeper at the Mustang 35.
The WO-S offense promptly countered with a superb, 12-play, 65-yard scoring march.
The big play came on fourth-and-6 from the 50 when the Mustangs completed a perfectly-executed fake punt. Punter/receiver Rhodes connected with standout defender and jack-of-all-trades Colin Janice on a 20-yard connection that got down to the Leopard 30.
Simien fan for 24 hard yards on four carries on the march. Salter also connected on a 11-yard pass to Rhodes that got down to the Lorena 10 and then the three-year starting quarterback put the finishing touches on it, zipping around the left side on a 10-yard touchdown keeper to make it 14-0 with just 0:27 left on the clock.
"That fake punt really gave us the momentum and the kids completed it with a touchdown there right before the half," said Coach Thompson. "We've worked on that fake punt quite a bit in practice and it was wide open tonight."
The Mustangs had 159 yards in the half. Simien muscled his way to 58 yards on 11 carries. Salter was 5-of-9 for 42 yards with Rhodes catching four of them for 25 yards.
WO-S shot itself in the foot in the first quarter with penalties, collecting five for 40 yards.
On their second series of the game, the Mustangs went from their own 34 all the way to the Leopard 16 before a false start penalty hampered the drive. On fourth-and-5 from the 16, WO-S went for it and Salter's pass attempt by Rhodes was caught, but out of bounds near the goal line.

The place was over expensive for such low quality. The lady at the front Laura or Leann or something was rude and acted bothered for being at work. The staff is sloppy, rude and ignorant. I think they may have even been borderline racist... We will be avoiding this place next time.

Ken Krogue, Contributor
I'm an entrepreneur sharing ideas and research to grow your business
This morning I got up a little early to set up my new Macbook Pro 15 inch notebook computer with Retina Display. I also bought the portable USB SuperDrive because the Macbook no longer comes with a DVD or CD player, to make things lighter, or people use thumb drives more I guess.
As I was unwrapping it I noticed something absolutely amazing…
The shrink-wrap was perfect.
I was so amazed I took two pictures with my iPhone 5. It seemed a shame to open it.
The clear plastic seam was exactly even around the center of the box. And so was the shrink wrap on the USB SuperDrive box; even the shrink wrap on the box of an accessory is perfect. There weren't any shrink-wrap wrinkles either on the corners of the box where some lazy employee didn't bother taking the time with a hot air gun to shrink them out.
I always use those little wrinkles at the corner of the package to grab so I can rip the shrink wrap off of a box. There weren't any. How do I even open it? Every other company on the planet has wrinkles.
Steve Jobs cared. And now Apple employees deeply care. Or probably, Apple has automated the process so it is perfect every time…
Every time.
Do you know how hard that is to do? I do. And why in the world would somebody be so anal-retentive that even the shrink wrap around the box was impressively perfect?
Because maybe it matters.
It mattered to Steve Jobs, it matters to Apple. They are the number one valued company in the world. Are these little tiny details related to their value in the marketplace?
I think so.
I remember I was the Marketing Director at Infobases, Inc., an electronic publishing company that was originally started by Paul Allen and Dan Taggart. We sold one of the first scriptures on computer software packages. We eventually tripled sales. Paul is now my friend who later helped found Ancestry.com Ancestry.com, MyFamily.com, and Family Link. I just spoke with him the other day.
Back then I was in charge of the marketing strategy and the look and feel of the products, the packaging, the overall experience. Most of my other jobs have been in sales, but that time in marketing was incredibly valuable.
I remember one day I noticed that the manager of the packaging team was shrink-wrapping a pallet of software packages. He had this shrink-wrap sealing machine that would seal three edges around a box with heat. It was always uneven. But if you took a little extra time with the heat gun you could shrink the plastic with just the right tension so the seam would stay even in the center of the box.
He didn't.
He shrunk that plastic as fast as he could. There were even black char marks occasionally where he melted a big lump in the corner. So what. It was just shrink-wrap.
He wanted to get finished. He didn't care. It drove me nuts. It looked terrible. We had gone to incredible effort, hired a great designer by the name of Mark Meservy to carefully design wonderful packaging, and the shrink-wrap made us look like we didn't give a darn.
He thought I was crazy when I asked him to redo them.
Well I don't normally go to the trouble of obtaining an account at a site just to comment on a blog that someone has made. In this case I made an exception because something about your blog jarred with me and I couldn't let it go to concentrate on my other tasks at hand.
If your employee wasn't doing the job right then your company (and that means the CEO) has got either a recruitment or a training problem. If the guy wasn't capable of doing the job then he shouldn't have been offered it. If he was capable but not performing correctly to the companies expectations then he was not trained in those expectations correctly.
Sometimes companies put unrealistic expectations on employees because they (the company) is too concerned with short term gains. The employee in this case, I suspect, may have been told by the company that quality of product and packaging is of the utmost importance: but that he must get "x" number of units out by 5pm or there would be some review of his employment conditions. In my experience very few companies give their employees the luxury of spending "as much time as it takes" to get the product perfect.
"If the student hasn't learned the teacher hasn't taught" (not sure who wrote this)
Thanks Ken for taking the time to reply.
In answer to your questions about teaching caring, quality and inspiring a desire for quality. I believe those are choices we make. We can choose to teach caring and quality, we can choose to inspire a desire for quality.
Ask yourself whether you can teach your own children those things. Sometimes we are prepared to put in more effort with those that are closest to us.
As to whether you were a teacher or employer, it is my belief that you were still responsible. To talk about "firing" someone who may have family dependant on their livelihood – well that is a serious matter. You would have to ask yourself about your own culpability and hopefully find your way clear to assisting with retraining, not just the employee but also the teacher and even the CEO (yourself).
At least that is the way it would work in my "ideal" world.
I just reread the part of your article that mention you "Made him redo" and how you noticed he did poor work in the future.
Without wanting to beat you up about it, how did you address him in the first place? Were you angry? Is there a way you could have approached the challenge in a way that would have built the employee up and inspired him, that perhaps you failed to do? Did you help create a disgruntled employee?
Ken — good read. I always enjoy your thought.
It's about a corporate culture. Jobs did a remarkable job of establishing that culture of excellence. It's why we like the touch and appearance and function of their products, and perceive Value.
The way they're wrapped is simply an extension of that Corporate Culture and the fact that it runs deeps. Kudos Apple! And Kudos Ken!
I find that it is easy to spot Apple fans who have when they post articles like this.
People who care more about the packaging of a product (which, after 10 seconds of unboxing will be forgotten, thrown away or kept in a storeroom somewhere) rather than the hardware itself and the user experience it brings.
People like that are usually concerned with how they look with their gadget rather that how well it functions and it's pretty shallow they clearly are judging a book by its cover.

Moments after the NBA OKC issued press release this morning detailing the team's 2008-09 schedule, some very savvy surfers at TheLostOgle managed to visit and save a screenshot of what appears to be the Oklahoma City Thunder's schedule.
However, for those who were a day late and a dollar short to nba.com/schedules/?team=thunder did not see what our friends there did:
Subsequent visitors to that URL did not see the Thunder but instead saw a series of different screens including SuperSonics, blank pages, some error pages and finally a page that is nonsensical.
Apparently it is officially unofficial that the team will be the Oklahoma City Thunder. Let the jokes begin.
(Thanks Patrick!)

Patients with osteoarthritis are vulnerable to hip and knee pain due to the wearing away of the joint's cartilage lining. One solution is to surgically replace the faulty joints. A total of 1.8 million total hip replacement and total knee replacement surgeries are performed worldwide each year.
The surgeries are straightforward and patients are often released from the hospital within three days. But a new study finds that patients who have their hips and knees replaced have a dramatically increased risk of suffering a heart attack in the first weeks after their surgeries.

A Cross-Sectional Evaluation of Perimenopausal Depression
Emma M. Steinberg; David R. Rubinow, M.D.; John J. Bartko, Ph.D.; Paige M. Fortinsky, B.S.C.; Nazli Haq, M.A.; Karla Thompson, R.N., M.S.N.; and Peter J. Schmidt, M.D.
Objective: Overall, the clinical spectrum of depression during the perimenopause is not well characterized. This cross-sectional study examined the following: (1) clinical characteristics of women who presented to the National Institute of Mental Health midlife mood disorders clinic (between March 1990 and January 2004) with perimenopausal major and minor depressions and (2) the impact on these characteristics of either a prior episode of depression or the presence of hot flushes.
Method: Historical variables, reproductive status, symptom ratings, and plasma hormone measures were examined in 116 women between the ages of 40 and 55 years who met research criteria for perimenopause-related depression (a current episode of major or minor depression according to the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV or Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders supplemented with a past history form).
Results: Clinical characteristics did not differ in those women with first-onset (39%) versus recurrent depressions or in those with (57%) and without hot flushes. Depressive episodes clustered in the later stages of the menopause transition and the first year postmenopause. Seven women (6%) reported a past postpartum major depression, and 55% of women reported a history of premenstrual dysphoria (PMD).
Conclusions: We found no evidence that either hot flushes or a previous episode of depression conveys a distinct clinical profile in these women. The clustering of onsets of depression suggests the hormone events that characterize the late menopause transition may be relevant to the onset of this form of depression. Finally, although we observed a high rate of PMD, neither postpartum depression nor PMD are consistent accompaniments of perimenopausal depression.

National Ornamental Metal Museum
Local Expert Tip
"The museum's gift shop offers the best selection of unique handcrafted gifts of any museum in the city."
Things to Do In Memphis
Memphis Travel Guide
Get Your Bearings in Memphis
Where to Stay
Downtown Memphis offers a full array of hotel choices including the venerable Peabody, the slick Westin Beale Street and the budget-friendly Hampton Inn Beale. The main advantage to staying downtown is the ability to walk to Beale Street's live music clubs and sights such as the Cotton Museum, the Mississippi River and the National Civil Rights Museum. Business travelers with appointments further afield will want to stay on the city's east side with easy proximity to FedEx world headquarters and International Paper. Whether staying for business or pleasure, downtown or anywhere else, a car is essential for exploring Memphis.
Caution: Most downtown hotels are crowded and loud during the annual Beale Street Music Fest, the first weekend of May; if you want to stay near the action, indulge at the Peabody, Madison or River Inn.
Hot Tips: Best chance to have your child named honorary duckmaster at the Peabody is to arrive early, and to be engaging; the best child-led duck marches are those with kids who are a bit of a ham.
What to Eat
While barbecue is king in Memphis, the city has come a long way in the last few years in terms of its dining scene with loads of chic local eateries steered by the surprisingly confident hands of young chefs opening. Cooper-Young - a neighborhood in Midtown - has become a dining hot spot and is a must-hit for restaurant-hopping and people-watching. Start with small plates at Alchemy and move on to a main meal at The Beauty Shop or Sweet Grass. Downtown's offerings vary from the historic, diner-ish Arcade to the opulent, French-infused Chez Philippe.
Hot Tips: What to wear to dinner in Memphis? Think snappy casual for most restaurants - nice jeans paired with a jacket for men, a cute dress or jeans and a pretty top for women.
Be Sure to Sample: The pulled pork nachos at Central Avenue; they're worth every calorie and fat gram.
Things to See
Memphis has become synonymous with Elvis Presley - and Graceland draws about 600,000 visitors annually. There are plenty of museums dedicated to the city's musical roots (before and after Elvis), history and the arts to fill your time. Green space is abundant with plenty of parks, especially along the Mighty Mississippi. And for children, an excellent zoo and children's museum - both in Midtown - promise hours of fun.
Avoid: The Graceland area during Elvis Week, around the 16th of August; the annual week of festivities marking the King's death creates crowds and traffic jams.
Hot Tips: A number of attractions, including the Brooks Museum and the Memphis Zoo, offer free admission days.
Places to Party
Live music is everywhere one turns in Memphis, primarily centered downtown and around Beale Street, but also found throughout the city at one of the dozens of live music clubs. Since the clubs on Beale are open until the wee hours of the morning, many of the dance clubs follow suit - again, these are located primarily downtown. For those looking for chic places to unwind with a cocktail, try the outer neighborhoods of Cooper-Young and East Memphis.
Caution: Beale Street is 18-and-up only after 11 pm.
Hot Tips: For a real taste of Memphis nightlife, be sure to hit Ernestine & Hazel's for a late night soul burger and eyebrow-raising people watching.
Where to Shop
Upscale boutiques and locally-owned favorites are clustered in East Memphis, while downtown offers a variety of shops, from the funky Tater Red's on Beale to the hip Lansky Brothers in the Peabody Hotel. One of our favorite neighborhoods for uniquely Memphis finds is South Main, where historic buildings bustle with local and regional art, boutique clothing and jewelry stores.
Hot Tips: The last Friday of the month is Trolley Tour night on South Main - a great shopping and people-watching experience.
Best Local Souvenir: Anything Elvis (from one of the Graceland stores) or a piece of folk art from a South Main gallery.

Memphis Is Known for...
Five of Memphis's most unique features and characteristics.Music
While Nashville lays claim to the auspicious title "Music City" further to the east, the reality is that Memphis lays claim to two original forms of American music - rock 'n' roll and the blues - and offers a grittier but equally rich history of grass roots music that's engrained into the fabric of the city's present day state. Historic, world-famous Beale Street boasts the apt nickname "Home of the Blues," and even on weeknights you'll hear timeless blues refrains drifting in the air around this district. The Beale Street Music Festival (during Memphis in May) features a delightful, eclectic mix of big-name stars performing side-by-side with local acts. When it comes to rock and soul, no city can match Memphis; home to Elvis Presley's Graceland, Stax Museum of American Soul Music and the Smithsonian-curated Rock 'n' Soul Museum, Memphis is a must-visit destination of fans of American music.Food
Memphis is best known as one of a handful of pinnacles of barbecue. Memphis in May, one of the largest and most vibrant festivals in the South, is host to the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, widely known as the largest competition of its kind in the world, and affectionately called the Superbowl of...

These tubular rides soft like silk with air pressures of 200psi, if you have good asphalt and a good high profile rim you can ride over 25mph effortless.

An interview with Woody Allen about his new film, "Magic in the Moonlight."
I'd love to see a thriller that was about what "Red Lights" starts to be about, the debunking of psychics by expert paranormal investigators. For its first two acts, the movie had me in its grip. Then it comes apart. Is there a fatal compulsion that draws movies into unnecessary action scenes?
The casting could hardly be improved upon. Sigourney Weaver is Margaret Matheson, a no-nonsense scientist who has dedicated her life to exposing psychic fraud. Think of James Randi. Weaver possesses an intrinsic authority that adds weight to her words; she can sound like she knows exactly what she's talking about.
Apparently she's never met a psychic she couldn't expose, except for one. That is the well-named Simon Silver (Robert De Niro), a blind mentalist whose specialty is bending spoons with his mind alone. This man has a hypnotic power over audiences and an uncanny stage presence. And De Niro allows him to embody something more — a haunting aura of preternatural mystery.
Apparently Matheson and Silver have been on a collision course for their entire careers. Her career means nothing unless she can expose him; his means nothing unless he can defeat her investigation. Now is that a great setup, or what?
Joining Matheson in her investigations is a star-struck younger colleague, Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy), and an ambitious intern named Sally Owen (Elizabeth Olsen). On the opposite team is a snaky academic named Paul Shackleton (Toby Jones), who resents Matheson's dominance in their field and believes there may be something to Silver's abilities.
In a way, there'd better be. Only un-debunked psychics and unexplained phenomena keep psychic investigators in business. Otherwise, they'd be as obsolete as the owners of talking horses.
Simon Silver does more than bend spoons, and "Red Light" does an impressive job of suggesting the drama of his theatrical appearances aided by De Niro's own charismatic stage presence. But these scenes are mostly showmanship, and I would have appreciated more detail about what he does and how he seems to do it.
The film also does a crafty job of setting its stage. It was written and directed by Rodrigo Cortes, whose "Buried" (2010) you may remember. That was the film shot entirely from the POV of a man buried in a coffin. "Red Lights" also shows a director who knows how to construct a story and build interest, but at the end, it flies apart. I wonder if there was an earlier draft. I suspect most audiences would prefer a film with an ending that plays by the same rules as the rest of the story.
Having once made the statement above, I have declined all opportunities to ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - This week marks the 10th anniversary of a time many Nashvillians will never forget.
A tornado blew through the Music City. It destroyed homes and businesses.
It also forced city leaders to evaluate public safety and make some changes.
On April 16, 1998, a tornado ripped through downtown Nashville. It was an F-3 storm with a wind speed between 158-206 miles per hour.
It killed one man who was in Centennial Park.
Afterward, city leaders realized they had no way to warn people who were outdoors.
"And really every second of advanced warning can be the difference between life and death," said Amanda Sluss, spokeswoman for Metro's Office of Emergency Management.
OEM is the nerve center for the city's response before, during and after a disaster.
Its changes in a decade include a computer system that controls 70 tornado sirens in the county.
"If the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for Davidson County we will activate all 70 sirens at once," Sluss said.
If anyone is watching television, they will see those warnings on NewsChannel 5 as well.
"Not only was this thing headed for downtown Nashville, it was headed right for the TV station, and a little light went off here, you know," said NewsChannel 5 Chief Meteorologist Ron Howes.
Howes said since 1998 technology has improved to help him tell the public when a tornado is coming and where it's likely to hit.
"Back 10 years ago we had to estimate how fast it was moving and in what direction it was moving," he said. "And really, all we have to do now is hit this button and we have computer generated tracks for all the storms.
Not only does the new technology do a better job of tracking the storm it also does a better job of predicting the storm's severity.
"We have an impact rating now about how likely this system is to produce hail and to produce a tornado," Howes said.
He can also look at the storm in three dimensions.
"So, we're able to look at small-scale changes in time and distance much better than we could have back in 1998," he said.
Even the weather radios are better. In 1998, the National Weather Service could only issue tornado warnings for a whole county. Now, they narrow it down to one area within the county.
So, if the region ever goes through this again, at least we'll be better protected.

Hundreds of firefighters from West Hempstead and neighboring communities spent hours battling a five-alarm blaze in Hempstead that claimed the life a child Saturday morning.
According to Nassau County Police, the Hempstead Fire Department responded to the fire around 6:22 a.m. at an apartment building located at 9-17 St. Paul Road North.
With Hempstead's Chief Clark in-charge, 300 firefighters from West Hempstead, Rockville Centre, Baldwin, Uniondale, Elmont, Roosevelt, Franklin Square, Lawrence/Cedarhurst, South Hempstead, North Merrick, East Meadow, Mineola and North Bellmore Fire Departments fought the blaze for several hours before it was extinguished completely.
"Crews overcame a foot of snow, ice and ... frozen hydrants as well as working for almost six hours fighting this blaze," explained a spokesperson for the Lakeview Volunteer Fire Department, which responded to Hempstead's mutual aid call with one engine and one ambulance to the scene.
More than 200 Hempstead residents were forced from their apartments and 11 victims were transported to area hospitals, nine of which were treated for non-life threatening injuries. One victim remains in critical condition and one victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
The identity of the deceased is being withheld pending family notification and the results of the medical examiners' report, but according to Newsday [paid link], the victim was an 8-year-old boy.
Newsday reports:
Among those injured was a woman who suffered a heart attack, a pregnant woman and three firefighters who were injured by debris to their eyes, Clark said. Also hurt were two children that neighbors said were tossed from a third-story window, fire officials said.
The Red Cross, whose volunteers handed blankets at the scene to help keep residents warm and provided hot coffee to first responders, set up a reception center at nearby Kennedy Park Recreation Center to assist the roughly 250 people who have been displaced from their homes.
Detectives and the Nassau County Fire Marshall are deeming the fire, which originated in a third floor apartment, to be non- suspicious. The cause is undetermined at this time. This investigation is ongoing.

Chiseled on the forehead of this marble Aphrodite, a first-century A.D. copy of a fourth-century B.C. statue by Praxiteles, is a cross.
