When planning a trip to Memphis, Tennessee, your choice of hotels in the area will have something to please everyone. Memphis is known for its eclectic mix of music, entertainment, and history, and the hotels that encompass the city capture each distinct vibe.
Perhaps you want to stay in the heart of "Blues City" and surround yourself with the vibrant nightlife of Beale Street, incredible dining, fabulous museums, and eclectic shops. Then choose from a number of hotels that are located in and around downtown Memphis. Whether your preference is high-end luxury, mid-scale, quaint bed and breakfasts, or family friendly – there are hotel and lodging options in Memphis to suit everyone's taste and budget, each allowing you the opportunity to explore this amazing city at your leisure.
Definitely check out the historic Peabody Hotel – you will not only be lodging in quiet elegance, but also be able to witness the famous Peabody Ducks march through the Grand Lobby at 11am and 5pm daily, this being a time-honored tradition since 1933.
A trip to Memphis would not be complete without a visit to Graceland, the home of Elvis. To complete your experience, spend a few nights at the funky themed Heartbreak Hotel, which is across the street. A variety of other hotels (ranging from upscale to budget) are located nearby and give you convenient access to the numerous entertainment options in the area.
Should you be traveling for business or strictly for pleasure, your choice of a hotel in Memphis will most certainly accommodate your desires with the charm and "Southern hospitality" that make this city unique.
Hotels in Memphis
Looking to stay in the River City? Travelocity lists cheap deals on hotels in Memphis, TN. Book your room with us today and explore the home of the blues. Browse our online listings to find a beautiful space in this classic, southern, musical city. Feel free to get out and explore downtown Memphis. Hotels can be found based on customer reviews, star ratings, and price; however, you can also look to book a room near these great things to do in Memphis, TN. Hotels near Beale Street will be in the middle of the rockin' action, or you could find rooms with a view of the Mississippi River, for example. Build your itinerary and find the perfect spot based on what you want to see and do!
Visit the Heart of Rock and Roll
If you've got a passion for blues and rock music, keep that in mind when looking at hotels. Memphis, TN, has been called the home of the blues, and if Memphis is the home, Beale Street is its hearth. Book your room during the Beale Street Music Festival. Along this street, you'll find many different clubs, bars, and restaurants where you can hear live music. Many historic, industry-changing artists like Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, Otis Redding, and Issac Hayes found their start in this bluesy town. Up the road and around the corner is Sun Studio, the birthplace of rock and roll. You could either tour the museum or see new artists performing there live today. Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum celebrates the history and diversity of this local music and is a Smithsonian Institution affiliate. There's also the STAX Museum of American Soul Music, the only museum dedicated to American soul music, which also features many local events. It's a bit of a drive from this area, but no Elvis fan can resist the pull of Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley, where you can tour the mansion, gardens, and automobile collection of the man himself.
Taste Food That Will Rock Your Soul
The River City has been called the barbecue capital of the world, and when you taste it, you'll be able to see why. If you're a barbecue fan, you'll most likely want to plan your trip for during the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest; consider this season when choosing when to book downtown Memphis hotels. Locals take this finger-lickin' sweetness seriously and consider it an art form. Memphis-style barbecue typically features slow-cooked pork (often ribs) with a wet or dry rub. Wet or dry seems to be the eternal question in Memphis, and you'd better decide on which one you like, as rivalries are fierce! Go out for ribs at Corky's Bar-B-Q, Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous, Payne's Bar-B-Que, Central BBQ, Cozy Corner Bar-B-Q, or Blues City Cafe and you'll be satisfied. Choose ribs, pulled pork nachos, brisket, sandwiches, or whatever you fancy. In addition to having barbecue that draws food enthusiasts to Memphis in droves, the city also features excellent Creole and Cajun foods. Check out Soul Fish, DejaVu Restaurant, or Restaurant Iris for excellent cuisine. You could also really enjoy a soulful meal at Gus's World Famous Hot & Spicy Chicken. Take advantage of the area's local food truck scene, or just take a tour with Tastin' 'Round Town. If you're looking for a fancier night out, wine and dine at McEwen's on Monroe.
Experience Greater Memphis
Of course, Memphis has a lot more to offer than just excellent rock music and American classic cuisine. The area also offers a rich, dense history, an affinity for the arts, and an enthusiasm for all living things. If you're looking for hotels in Memphis, TN, for children and families, you should definitely stop by the Memphis Zoo. In addition to being a world leader in conservation sciences, it's also one of only four zoos in the United States that houses a giant panda. Perhaps human culture is your passion; get a view into a very important part of American history at the National Civil Rights Museum. Walk through the troubles of African Americans from the 1600s onwards and learn about the struggles of people in this area during the Civil Rights Movement. The Withers Collection Museum Gallery also gives a unique and deeply personal perspective on this time, with images from photojournalist Ernest C. Withers, who was a close friend of Medgar Evers, James Meredith, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Take the time to explore and discover this integral part of history. The area also celebrates the arts in an enthusiastic and unique way. Attend an event at the historic Orpheum Theater, which serves the region as an excellent performing arts center. Tour one of the many museums and galleries as well. If you want to truly experience Memphis in a big way, join Memphis Riverboats for a dinner cruise on the Memphis Queen and ride along the wide Mississippi River. You'll get a view of the city's skyline and chug away on a very classic-looking steamboat!
Book Your Trip Today
Pick what attractions and times you want to be in Memphis when choosing your hotels. Downtown Memphis is full of great museums, attractions, shows, and more. Coordinate your trip with local events. If you want to really get a grasp on the rich culture of this smooth city, book your room during May. Memphis in May is a month-long festival comprising of the Beale Street Music Festival, the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, International Week, and the Sunset Symphony as the fun finale. If you want to come at another great time, note that the weather in Memphis during late May through September is like its barbecue: sticky and hot!

In addition to offering hotels, note that Travelocity also offers vacation packages, which can bundle your hotel stay, flight, and car rental together to create one great deal.

Weather warnings
Hello bulb buddies!
Merry Christmas and many thanks for sending me your data. Keep it coming!
We are getting an interesting picture of how the weather has varied across the country. Last week, Carnforth North Road Primary School in Lancashire, England reported a low temperature of 3°C and Mossend Primary School Primary School in Bellshill, Scotland reported 13°C for the same day! That's quite a difference! If you've had extreme weather you can use the map to look at records from other schools on the same day and compare. Let me know if you find anything interesting!
I'm very interested to see what your records show for the last week. The Met Office (the UK's official weather service) predicted colder temperatures and perhaps even snow in some areas! If you have snow perhaps you could ask your teacher to send in pictures, I would love to see them and might even post some on the bulb blog.
A yellow warning was given for wind, snow and ice in some areas of the UK. A yellow warning means that there is a possibility of bad weather in some parts of the country. The Met Office warn us about bad weather so that we can be prepared for it. This is because extreme weather (such as strong winds and ice) can cause difficulties and make it harder to travel. Sometimes roads, train lines and even schools close because of bad weather.
The colour chart below shows other colours used as a code for how strong the weather is.
Green: weather not expected to be extreme.
Yellow: possibility of extreme weather so you should be aware of it.
Amber (orange): strong chance of the weather effecting you in some way, so be prepared.
Red: extreme weather expected, on red warning days your parents might check for road closures before planning journeys.
The Met Office also use symbols to indicate what type of weather to expect. The symbols below show (in order) a red warning for rain, green for wind and snow, amber for ice and green for fog. This means there will be heavy rain and that you should prepare for ice. Why not have a look at the Met Office website and see what the weather forecast is for where you live?
Keep up the good work bulb buddies!
Professor Plant
Your questions, my answers:
Stanford in the Vale Primary School - Lots of rain on Monday, then hardly any during the week! The weather has started to get really cold, especially on Wednesday and frost this morning on Friday, the children are still hoping for snow!!!The children have made up a song for recording the weather and temperature - so we have named them the singing scientists. Prof P - Hello Singing Scientists, what a fantastic nickname! You all sound like a happy bunch and I'm sure that all the singing can only be benefiting your bulbs! Could you possibly send me your song lyrics or a recording of you singing? You are not the only school to have noted Wednesday as cold! Both Ysgol Rhys Prichard and Ysgol Hiraddug commented that they had heavy ground frost on Wednesday.
Glyncollen Primary School - One of our mystery bulbs is also starting to grow. We are all wondering what flower it is going to be. We are enjoying this project. Thank you Professor Plant. Blwyddyn 4. Prof P – Hello Bwyddyn 4, I'm so glad you are enjoying the project! It's very exciting that your mystery bulb has started growing! Could you send me a picture? And keep me updated, I'd like to know when it flowers and what you think it might be!
St. Ignatius Primary School – lots of our plants have died already! Prof P – Hello St. Ignatius, I'm very sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your bulbs. I will be in touch to find out more. Meanwhile, if any other schools are experiencing problems please get in touch!
November 2014
Is winter on its way?
Hello bulb buddies!
I hope you are all having fun recording the weather information. You're doing a great job so far.
The weather is very chilly this morning (Monday 24th of November). Last night the temperature in Cardiff fell to 0°C and we had our first proper frost of the year. The temperature was as low as -3°C in some parts of England and Wales. Brrr!
But this cold weather is nothing compared to what some parts of America have been experiencing in the past week. In some areas in the northeast of the country the temperature fell to -15°C. Some places also had two metres of snow! Now that is wintry weather.
The good news is that forecasters do not think that the cold and snow are going to come across the Atlantic to the UK. So no snowmen for us just yet.
What does cold weather mean for our bulbs? Lots of plants don't like the cold and will perish if it gets too cold. This is why lots of gardeners worry about frost, because it can hurt their plants.
But because we planted our bulbs in the ground, they will be just fine. The earth that we covered them with acts like a warm blanket to keep our baby bulbs nice and cosy. Why don't you make an origami booklet about the life of a bulb, which you can find here?
You should all now be recording the temperature and rainfall each day and don't forget to record your results at the end of each week on our website.
Keep up the good work!
Professor Plant
Your questions, my answers:
Ysgol Y Plas - Every day we tip out the water out but on fridays we tip it out then leave over the weekend and then take the rain fall on monday. So on monday the water measurement is from the weekend as well as that day, from c. Prof P – That's perfect, keep up the good work!
Keir Hardie Memorial Primary School - On Wednesday we forgot to empty the rainfall catcher so we think this is why the rainfall is so high. Prof P – Don't worry, even the best scientists make mistakes. If you wanted to be really clever you could use maths to work out Thursday's rainfall. Take away Wednesday's rain from Thursday's to see how much rain fell on Thursday.
Saint Anthony's Primary School - We are enjoying the project so far. It's has been fun planting all the bulbs and we can't wait until they grow. We decorated name tags and put them on plant pots to plant our bulbs in. R and L. I have noticed that even when there has been a big rainfall, there is still very little water in the rain gauge. Prof P – Well done everyone at Saint Anthony's. Your name tags sound great! Perhaps you could ask your teacher to take a photo and send it to me? If your rain gauge isn't catching water, make sure that there is nothing near it which could stop the rain from falling into it.
Burscough Bridge Methodist School - Again apologises the data is late due to the damages to the equipment, however it is all back up and working. Prof P – Hello to everyone at Burscough Bridge! Don't worry about being late, just do the best you can. I'm sorry that your equipment got damaged. If there is anything I can do to help then just let me know.
Tongwynlais Primary School - We are really enjoying measuring the weather! We haven't had to water our plants yet as we've had so much rain! Prof P – Hello Tongwynlais, I'm glad you're enjoying the project. Not having to water your plants is one of the many reasons it is so good to live in Wales!
Ysgol Talybont - We've looked on your map to check our previous observations but it is just saying no data received. Could you please check and contact us if we are doing something wrong on inputting the information Prof P - Hi Talybont. I think I have solved the problem, it was nothing that you were doing wrong! Try the map again and let me know if you have any further issues.
Ysgol Nant Y Coed - We had lots of fun, there wasn't that much rainfall. Thank you for choosing our school to do it. Prof P – I'm sure there will be plenty of rainfall for you to record in the next few months! Thank you for taking part Nant Y Coed!
Your Questions, My Answers
Hello bulb buddies!
St. Paul's Primary School:
My name is A and I am 9 years old. It is my job all next week to take the weather measurements for you. I think I will enjoy it as I love being in the garden. Prof P – Hello Aiden and everyone else at St Paul's. It sounds like you are doing a great job recording the weather. Keep up the good work!
Kilmory Primary School:
unable to record rainfall accurately Thurs 22mm Friday 26mm. Prof P – Hi Kilmory, do you need any help with measuring rainfall? Or was your gauge just knocked over?
St. Brigid's School:
It has been a cold and wet start to our bulb investigation. We have all made labels and they are standing up nicely in their pots in a safe part of the school. We are all looking forward to seeing the final results. Prof P – Well done to everybody at St Brigid's. I hope you all had lots of fun planting and making labels. I'm looking forward to seeing your results too!
Ysgol Rhys Prichard:
Very windy on Thursday and heavy rain over night Crisp and clear on Bonfire Night. Very windy on Thursday 13th. A tree blew down near school. Prof P – Da iawn Ysgol Rhys Prichard. Great weather reporting. I hope you all had a good Bonfire Night!
Llanharan Primary School:
Is Monday's rainfall a record of all the rain caught on the weekend? Prof P – Hi everyone at Llanharan. This is a really good question. Yes it is, otherwise we would have no record of the rain that falls over the weekend. I can see that you have already done this for last week's data, so good job!
Rougemont Junior School:
We planted our baby bulbs on the 27th in line with Scotland. Please remember Professor we were on holiday when Wales were planting. What with fireworks and the cold snap of weather we hope they are tucked up safe and warm! Rougemont year 5 and 6. Prof P – Good job Rougemont. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday. I'll be sure to remember that you started on the 27th. Your bulbs are tucked up in a nice blanket of soil so they don't need to worry about the cold!
Bickerstaffe CE Primary School:
We will do as many as we can through the week, can't guarantee every day. Readings will all be taken close to 9.00 a.m.
Rain recorded on Tuesday morning will have been the total for Sat, Sun and Monday
Prof P – Hello Bickerstaffe! Don't worry if you miss a few days, just do as much as you can. If possible it might be better to take the weather measurements in the afternoon so you get a better picture of that day's conditions. But as long as you record at roughly the same time each day then it doesn't really matter.
Guardbridge Primary School:
It rained a lot on Friday. Prof P – Hello Guardbridge, well done for watching the weather closely. It rained a lot in Wales on that day too.
Rivington Foundation Primary School:
Friday was a very rainy day! Prof P – Oh dear! I hope you all stayed warm and dry inside.
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School:
We are really excited at being involved in this project. We have enjoyed clearing the weeds to plant our daffodils and planting all our bulbs. It is fun taking turns to check the rainfall and temperature. Prof P – Hello to everyone at the Blessed Sacrament. It sounds like you all worked very hard planting your bulbs, well done!
Stanford in the Vale Primary School:
A very cold start to the day on Tuesday and Wednesday! Lots and lots of rain Thursday night....bright blue clear sky today! And the sun is shinning. Prof P – Great weather reporting. It's nice to hear the sun is shining in Oxfordshire!
St. Paul's Primary School:
hi its its been really raining this week. Prof P – Thanks for the weather information! I'm sorry that you've had a rainy week, but at least the plants won't be thirsty!
Glyncollen Primary School:
We are really enjoying taking care of our bulbs and reading the rainfall and temperature measurements.
We are not sure if our thermometer is working properly because it has been giving us high readings and the weather has been colder this week. On Wednesday we put a new thermometer outside and our readings now seem closer to what the weather forecast says. Is it possible for you to send us a new thermometer please? Diolch yn fawr. Blwyddyn 4 Prof P – Da iawn Glyncollen! I'm really glad you're enjoying the project. You're right, your temperature readings do seem very high. I'll send you a new thermometer as soon as possible.
Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn:
Hi. We are year 4 in Ysgol Hen Golwyn. We like doing the project and we have completed the first week. We like your beard. Some of our pots were knocked over and the rain gauge was tipped over too but everything is going to plan now. Prof P – Hello Year 4! I'm glad you're enjoying the project. Don't worry too much about things getting knocked over. Problems like that are part of life as a scientist.
Ysgol Bro Eirwg:
Rydyn ni wedi mwynhau dysgu a chofnodi yr wythnos hon! Prof P – Da iawn pawb!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School:
We are taking it in turns to collect the weather data. The weather has been very wet and windy at times. But it is cool to be a scientist, even if you miss a bit of football! H Prof P – Thank you for the weather data! You're right, it is cool to be a scientist. I hope you didn't miss too much football!
Coppull Parish Primary School:
My Year 4 children have recorded these by themselves. They could be the other way around. For example I have switched Thursday's temperature number with Thursday's Rainfall number. It didn't seem to be zero degrees celcius that day and the children wrote mm in the temperature boxes. Hmmmmm. mm also cropped up in the temperature on Wed. Marie Codd Science Leader and Forest School Leader. Prof P – Hi Marie. It's great that the children are recording the data themselves. It is still very early in the project so there are bound to be some mistakes. I'm sure that by the end of the year you will all be experts. Well done everyone!
Finally autumn
Hello bulb buddies!
I hope you're all having fun looking after your bulbs.
Autumn has finally arrived in Cardiff. There is a chill in the air and the leaves on the trees are turning lovely shades of orange, yellow and brown.
Autumn has arrived late this year. October's weather was warmer and wetter than average and this meant lots of the trees kept their green leaves for longer than usual.
The weather on Halloween was extra-special! Temperatures in some areas of the UK, such as south England and north Wales, reached well over 20°C.
The temperature in Kew Gardens in west London reached a whopping 23.6°C, which is the highest temperature ever recorded in the UK on Halloween. I hope you didn't get too hot in your spooky costumes!
I think these weird weather conditions are very interesting and am excited to see what strange things you find during your spring bulb experiments.
Has autumn arrived where you live? Are the leaves changing colour and falling from the trees? Why don't you take an autumnal picture and send it to me in an email? I might even post it here on my blog.
Remember that you should now have started recording the temperature and rainfall on your weather charts. If you can't remember what you're supposed to do you can look at the Keeping Weather Records page on my website.
Many Thanks

Bulbathon 2015
A planting day of bulbous proportions!
Eleven thousand and three hundred bulbs were planted by school scientists across the UK to kick start the Spring Bulbs for Schools investigation. Seven and a half thousand pupils from one hundred and seventy nine schools got planting to investigate climate change.
Here is a map to show you where the bulbs were planted.
Here are some of the pictures they sent in. Follow their progress and the questions they raise as they record the local weather and flowering through the winter and into the spring.

Welsh Super Scientists
Ysgol Clocaenog in Denbighshire was awarded first place out of sixty nine Welsh schools taking part in the Museum's Spring Bulbs for Schools investigation this year.
The Super Scientists won a fun-packed trip to the National Slate Museum where they learnt about the Story of Slate, looked for mini-beasts and built giant nests in the quarry!
Professor Plant: "Ysgol Clogaenog did really well in the Spring Bulbs investigation and sent in the most weather data out of all the schools in Wales! This really was an achievement as schools are getting better and better at recording and sending their data. It was lovely to meet the Super Scientists from Ysgol Clocaenog, we had lots of fun building nests and pretending to be little birds! We also learnt lots about Slate and I especially enjoyed watching the slate splitting!"

Spring Bulb for Schools: Results 2005-2014
The 'Spring Bulbs for Schools' project allows 1000s of schools scientists to work with Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales to investigate and understand climate change.
Since October 2005, school scientists have been keeping weather records and noting when their flowers open, as part of a long-term study looking at the effects of temperature on spring bulbs.
Certificates have now been sent out to all the 4,075 pupils that completed the project this year.
See Professor Plant's reports or download the spreadsheet to study the trends for yourself!
- Make graphs & frequency charts or calculate the mean.
- See if the flowers opened late in schools that recorded cold weather.
See how temperature, sunshine and rainfall affect the average flowering dates.
Look for trends between different locations.

Smoggy London
If you had been visiting London last week you would have noticed it was very smoggy, as if you were looking at everything through a dirty cloud! But what exactly is smog, and how is it different to fog?
What is fog?
Fog is a cloud on the ground! It is a natural part of the weather. It is lots of very tiny water droplets floating in the air. Fog helps plants by providing moisture and does not harm you if you breathe in.
What is smog?
Smog is a kind of air pollution. Smog is created when fog mixes with smoke and chemical fumes from cars and factories. Some of the chemicals in smog are toxic – this means poisonous! It is harmful to plants and animals and can be dangerous if breathed in.
The recent smog in London is a mixture of fog and pollution and a third ingredient – sand from the Sahara desert! The Sahara desert is a huge desert in Africa. Some of the desert sand is very, very small, like dust. Sometimes wind storms sweep up the dust and blow it thousands of miles to the UK. It's amazing how far it travels!
Unfortunately, this mixture of fog and pollution and desert dust means that the London smog is not good for your lungs, and has made some people ill. Smog is one very good reason why we should all try to reduce air pollution!
So what can you do to help reduce air pollution?
Think about air pollution… What causes it? Can you think of 3 things you can do to reduce it? Why not talk about it in class and then click here to check your answers.

The hip is made of a bowl shape socket on the pelvis and a ball at the top of the leg bone. A hip osteotomy is a surgery to cut, reshape, and reposition the bones of the pelvis or legs.
Reasons for Procedure
Hip osteotomy is done when the hip bones do not fit together well. Poorly fitting hip bones can cause pain and make it difficult to move. Over a long period of time the improper fit can lead to problems like arthritis.
The surgery is most often done in children. It may be done because of:
- Conditions that cause abnormal muscle contractions such as cerebral palsy
- Hip bones do not form correctly such as in developmental dysplasia of the hip
- Other injuries or illnesses of the hip such as Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
Possible Complications
Complications are rare. But no procedure is completely free of risk. If your child is having an osteotomy, the doctor will review a list of possible complications, including:
- Incomplete healing of the bone
- Shortening of the leg
- Bleeding
- Ball cannot be fit into the socket
- Infection
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Blood clots
- Injuries to nerves or blood vessels
- Nausea and vomiting
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
- Exposure to Smoke
- Chronic disease such as diabetes or asthma
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will do a physical examination. They will order imaging tests to help plan the surgery.
Images of the hip bones and other structures may be taken with:
In the days leading up to the surgery, the doctor will talk about the medicines you or your child is taking. Some medicines may need to be stopped before the surgery.
You may be saked to stop eating or drinking after midnight the night before surgery.
General anesthesia is usually used. It blocks pain and keeps you or your child asleep through the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
Several incisions will be made to around the hip joint. The specific bones that are altered will depend on your specific condition. The leg and/or pelvic bones will need to be cut. A wedge of bone may be removed. This wedge will be attached to a new area and held in place with plates and screws. The cuts and wedge will let the doctor to change the shape of the bone and position them into a better place.
The incision area will be closed with stitches.
Immediately After Procedure
Vital signs will be monitored in a recovery room.
How Long Will It Take?
2-5 hours depending on the type of surgery
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Medication will also be given after surgery to help manage pain.
Average Hospital Stay
Hospital stay may last for 4-5 days. Complications will lead to a longer stay.
Post-procedure Care
Recovery in the hospital may include:
- Pain medication
- Placing and changing bandages over the incision sites
- Using pillow-like devices to separate and support the legs
- Ice to reduce swelling
- Breathing exercises to decrease the risk of fluid build-up in the lungs
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
To help ensure a smooth recovery at home:
- Give pain medicine as directed.
- Keep the incision area clean and dry. Care for the wound as instructed by the doctor.
- Ask the doctor when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- You may need to use a walker or wheelchair.
- Follow the instructions the doctor gives you.
A physical therapist can help you with balance, range-of-motion, and strength training.
Your doctor will want to check on your progress. Full recovery can take 3-6 months.
Call Your Doctor
After your child leaves the hospital, contact the doctor if your child has:
- Signs of infection such as fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge around incision site
- Increased pain or swelling
- Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain
- Severe nausea or vomiting
- Numbness, tingling, or loss of feeling in your leg, knee, or foot
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Meanwhile, we wanted a peek into the real lives of mothers caring for kids with diabetes —the hardest, hardest job, and one that certainly requires a sense of humor aside from a boatload of strength and resilience.

If Morrow is willing to sit in the press box some nights and be a locker room presence, then by all means, let's do it. You can never have enough depth. But it just makes me scratch my head the Blues are openly pursuing him, unless Army just feels like the locker room needs another veteran presence.
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/hockey/p ... a9660.html
The Blues have spoken with free-agent forward Brenden Morrow about joining the team and are awaiting his answer.
Morrow, 34, finished the 2012-13 season with Pittsburgh but is looking for a new team and league sources say the Blues are on his short list.
Josh Rimer, the host of NiteCap on www.nextsportstar.com, was the first to report that the club and Morrow were in discussions, tweeting Saturday that the "Blues are the team that made Brenden Morrow the offer he is contemplating."
Morrow visited one "unnamed" suitor on Thursday, he told TSN's Pierre LeBrun. A source could not confirm whether Morrow's stop was in St. Louis. But even if it was, it may not be his only stop.
"I'm thinking about another team visit as well," Morrow told LeBrun. "I've actually got a few offers that I'm mulling over at the moment. It's a tough marketplace, they're not the biggest offers or what I had been hoping for, but at this point I just want to get playing again. So I'm mulling over these offers."
The Blues wouldn't be able to offer Morrow much money. They are approximately $1.8 million below the NHL's 2013-14 salary cap of $64.3 million, according to capgeek.com.
Morrow recently completed a six-year, $24.6 million contract, which he signed with Dallas and finished with Pittsburgh after a trade last spring. He made $4.1 million last season.
"There's a lot that goes into it, and money is a part of it," Morrow told Mike Heika in the Dallas Morning News last week. "But, at the same time, I want to be on a team where I think I can win, where I think I can contribute to a winner. I don't have a lot of years left, so I'd love to get a couple of runs in there."
The Blues, whom The Hockey News has chosen as its pick to win the Stanley Cup, fit that description. But why would the club be interested in Morrow and where would he fit in?
There are multiple connections between the free-agent forward and the Blues. General manager Doug Armstrong, head coach Ken Hitchcock and newly named vice president of business operations Brett Hull were all associated with Morrow in Dallas. Hull and Morrow are very close friends.
Morrow, who has played 850 NHL games, is considered by many to be a "warrior-type" player. And even though Armstrong has said that the Blues no longer have a need for an aging veteran to help monitor a somewhat young roster, it's believed that the club would welcome Morrow's influence in the locker room. He was the Stars' captain from 2006 until last season's trade.
What does Morrow have left on the ice? Despite neck and back injuries in Dallas, he went to Pittsburgh and produced 14 points (6, goals, 8 assists) in 15 regular-season games with the Penguins. He struggled during the playoffs with four points (2 goals, 2 assists) in 14 games, but was battling a knee-cap injury.
Do the Blues have room?
The club made its first round of cuts following Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Dallas. The team is off Sunday and will resume training camp Monday with practice group that includes 18 forwards. Fourteen of those are either on one-way NHL contracts, or in the case of Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko, they're locks to make the opening-day lineup.
At this point in Morrow's career, he is a third- or fourth-line forward who might even need some days off. The Blues' top-nine appears to be set and there's an abundance of fourth-line players on the roster.
Vladimir Sobotka may be relegated to fourth-line duty at the start of the season. The club signed free-agent center Max Lapierre to a two-year contract this offseason. And meanwhile, the "CPR" line of Adam Cracknell, Chris Porter and Ryan Reaves are all returning. Cracknell and Porter, in fact, were both re-signed to one-way NHL contracts.
Hitchcock, however, hinted at not being entirely happy with the performance of the fourth-liners thus far in training camp.
"I would like to see more competition for role-playing spots and that's what we're going to find out," he said. "I feel like there's a little bit of separation here and I'd like to see more competition. So we're going to see in the next couple of games what that competition gets to."
The addition of Morrow would bump one of those fourth-line players off the roster. The Blues could make a trade or be forced to pay an NHL salary to a player assigned to their American Hockey League affiliate in Chicago.
The Blues don't need to make that decision yet. For now, they're waiting for Morrow to make his decision.
"I feel I'll play somewhere this season at some time, I'm confident in that," Morrow told the Dallas Morning News. "But I want it to be the right fit, where I can possibly be there for a little longer time, and where I feel confident I can help. That's what I'm looking for."

Turf toe is a sprain of the base of the big toe where the big toe meets the foot. It is usually a hyperextension sprain of the first joint of the toe. A sprain is stretching or tearing of the ligaments that support a toe. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other. The injury is called turf toe because it often occurs in football and soccer players when playing on artificial turf.
Turf toe occurs when the big toe is forced to extend beyond its normal range of motion. This can be caused by:
- Standing on the balls of your feet as another person falls onto you, causing your big toe to hyperextend
- Stopping suddenly when running, causing your big toe to slide into the end of your shoe and bend up and backward as you go forward
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chances of getting turf toe include:
Sports such as:
- Football
- Soccer
- Rugby
- Basketball
- Running
- Gymnastics
- Dancing
- Poor coordination
- Increased ankle dorsiflexion
- Wearing athletic shoes with flexible soles
- Playing sports on artificial turf
Symptoms include:
- Pain and tenderness in the ball of the foot and the big toe
- Swelling and bruising of the ball of the foot and the big toe
- Inability to bear weight on the ball of the injured foot
- Inability to push off on the big toe
- Reduced range of motion in the big toe
You will be asked about your symptoms and how you injured your toe. An exam of your toe will be done to assess the stability of the joint and the severity of the injury.
Your doctor may need pictures of your foot. This can be done with:
Treatment includes:
- Rest—Do not try to run or play sports until you can walk without pain. Do not return to your sport until you can run, jump, and push off from your injured foot without pain.
- Ice—Apply ice or a cold pack to your toe for 15 to 20 minutes. Do this 4 times a day for 2 to 3 days or until the pain goes away. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply ice directly to your skin.
- Compression—Wrap an elastic bandage around your big toe. It is important not to cut off blood circulation to your toe or any body part when using such wraps. Do not make them very tight. Put several wraps around the big toe and then include the rest of the forefoot within the bandage. This will limit swelling and support your toe.
- Elevation—Keep the injured foot raised above the level of your heart for 48 hours using a pillow. This will help drain fluid and reduce swelling.
- Wear a metatarsal pad to cushion the area under the toe as directed.
- Stiff-soled shoes or rigid orthotics—Wear stiff-soled shoes or rigid orthotic inserts in your shoes to keep your toe from hyperextending.
- A walking boot or cast may be needed for more severe injuries.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, may help reduce inflammation and pain.
Surgery is only needed to repair turf toe if:
Surgery is only needed to repair turf toe if:
- A small piece of bone has been broken off by the injury to the ligament
- A ligament is torn completely

Rated 4 out of 5 by Goodis Open mind
I had expectations , which as we know , life is more fully and happily lived by going with the flow. I was expecting more of a class "like tone " and this is more basic and concentrates on correct posture .very slow and helpful guidance. I do wish I had a mirror close to my television to check my alignment. All and all a good DVD, and I will keep searching for my next perfect yoga DVD....
ps Gaiam,
please , dont like adds for future DVDS and products on my DVD purchases...oh well. Peace!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beloved Awesome dvd for beginner!
This is such an awesome dvd for those who would like to learn yoga for the first time. Ms. Walden explained it step by step patiently. Most importantly, she pointed out about what is the right posture for each position/stage. I'm satisfied with my first purchased at GAIAM!

Rated 4 out of 5 Good intro, but it is an intro
Being active and starting Yoga with my wife we were looking for a DVD to get us started. Bought this one and Rodney's beginner DVD. This DVD is great to get started with the poses but if you practice Tie Chi or Martial Arts you will already know most of the stretches/movements. This tape only has one short workout and it is not difficult (for us, being active and all). This is a good DVD to practice the poses if you have no idea what you are doing or are not active and somewhat in shape. Rodney's Beginner DVD has 2 good workouts as well as the pose guide (also included in this video). I would recommend both as there are a few poses in each that are not in the other. I would also recommend if you are like us getting an intermediate DVD to mix thing up. We thought there would be a little more meat to get us going thru a workout and glad we have options. Amitofu

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lenore Ohhh-I get it now. Thanks Patricia!
As the review title implies, this DVD helped me to really understand the various positions of yoga for the first time. Patricia's patient explanations, loaded with details and visual images helped me understand what correct alignment-and the benefits of that-are for the first time. For example, her emphasis on engaging the proper parts of your body in the various poses is unparalleled.
Great job!

Hi, I recently purchased Rodney Yee's Yoga for Back Care. I love the way he uses a chair to modify the moves. As I'm an older beginner, this is essential for me. I'm wondering if there are similar modifications in this Patricia Walden video: not necessarily the use of a chair, but at least a block and guidance in modification.
thanks so much,

Patricia's Yoga for beginners does offer many modifications! This would be a great addition to your collection. A towel, block, and chair are all used in this DVD to help you get the most of your practice at any level!11 months ago
Since this Yoga DVD is supposed to help with flexibility and posture, do I have to perform warm up stretches before I do any of the poses on the DVD? Can I wake up in the morning and go right into the routine of poses?

Top 100 Contributor
I did not find that to be the case. This DVD has gentle guidance , that allowed me to follow and warm up as you go along. After a few poses I was already more flexible and focused.3 years, 7 months ago
Top 1000 Contributor
Not needed. This DVD is more of a textbook video of the poses. Good but it does not have a real long or hard workout (only 1). Rodney's Beginner DVD has almost the same things plus 2 good workouts that you will not have to pre stretch for.4 years, 1 month ago

No because Yoga is a practice made of stretching it is not necessary to stretch prior to doing the DVD. The DVD will lead you through a proper warm up before moving into deeper stretching.5 years, 4 months ago

Here in the Northern Vermont Hinterlands, I'm preparing for a brief escape. A long weekend in the big city. Going on blind faith to see a little music. Catch a flick. Peruse the shops for weird Moroccan light fixtures. Eat some foods I can't pronounce. Enjoy a few adult beverages. Should be just the thing to forestall cabin fever a bit longer. Cause it be getting crazy. 15 inches of new snow on the way to push us into the snowiest February ever and one of the top ten snowiest winters, which up here is really saying something. Gotta get out from under it for a bit. But before I go, here are a few interesting items of note from the news desk…

Pope Felix II
More properly, an antipope from 351 to 358. Born in Rome, Italy; died in Porto, Italy, in 365. An archdeacon, he was consecrated by the heretical Acacius of Caesarea, when the legitimate pontiff, Liberius, was banished by the Emperor Constantius, an Arian. He was finally deposed by an order of the Roman Senate and the people. Many historians consider his election uncanonical.

The Blues and Alexander Steen have reached an agreement on a contract extension, keeping one of the NHL's best all-around players in the fold.
Steen, who would have become an unrestricted free agent next June, has agreed in principle to a three-year, $17.4 million extension ($5.8 million annual average value). He is expected to sign the deal Thursday morning, when the club will also host a press conference at Scottrade Center.
Neither Steen nor Blues general manager Doug Armstrong will comment on the contract until the press conference.
Steen, 29, leads the Blues with 22 goals and 36 points and he's tied for second on the club with a plus-minus rating of plus-13.
His 22 goals places him in a tie for second place in the NHL, trailing only Washington's Alex Ovechkin, who has 28. The Blues' forward is just two off his career high of 24 goals, which he established in the 2009-10 season.
While Steen has improved his offensive numbers, he has remained a consistent contributor in many areas of the game.
On the team's power-play unit, which ranks No. 5 in the NHL (23.1 percent), Steen has five goals and nine points. He averages a team-high 3 minutes, 2 seconds of ice time on the man-advantage.
And on the Blues' penalty-killing unit, which ranks No. 9 in the league (84.5 percent), Steen comprises one of the club's top forward pairs. He averages 2:04 of shorthanded ice time, which is tops among forwards.
A former first-round draft pick of Toronto, Steen was acquired by the Blues in November 2008 in a trade with the Maple Leafs. He has played 570 NHL games and has 145 goals and 339 points.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill updates a landmark, keeping its midcentury aesthetic intact.
Play Slideshow >>
Inland Steel Restoration
An archival photograph shows an interior of the Inland Steel Building not long after it was completed in the 1950s.
The façade of the building has achieved landmark status, so it will remain unchanged during the renovation and restoration process.
Plans to convert Inland Steel into an office hotel replicate the mid-century aesthetic with updates such as a perforated metal ceiling and motorized shades to cut down on heat gain.
FLOOR PLAN OPTIONS The open floor plates allow tenants to customize their own floor plans with a mix of open plan, shared, and private office space; conference rooms; and communal areas.
WALL SECTION WITH AIR SUPPLY A system of demountable walls was devised so that each completely open floor can be divided as the client sees fit. The panel shown in section is faced in wood and contains a concealed air duct to aid airflow throughout the space and air return to the chilled beam system above the metal ceiling.
CEILING SYSTEMS The perforated metal ceiling tiles conceal a series of systems including the lighting fixtures, the bulk of the sprinkler system, and the chilled beams, which serve as a low-energy HVAC alternative.
CURTAIN WALL SECTION Originally, the architects planned to retrofit the curtain wall system to include double glazing for performance reasons, but concerns from the landmarks commission led to the development of a series of motorized shades (seen here in section) to increase the thermal performance of the single-glazed façade.
Each space can be customized to fit a client's needs, but all finishes maintain a mid-century sensibility to reflect the building's history.
Guests at the office hotel can outfit their space from a catalog of furniture designed to marry a sleek 1950s aesthetic with low-VOC and low-formaldehyde materials to answer modern concerns about sustainability.
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is revisiting one of its seminal projects of the 1950s, the Inland Steel Building. The firm has been asked to renovate the Chicago landmark into an office hotel, a building type that offers potential tenants a sustainable and fully outfitted office space while still allowing for flexibility in office layout, size, and lease duration. That means a ground-up renovation to meet contemporary standards of sustainability, as well as the out fitting of spaces with flexible systems to allow for the reconfiguration of space for each "guest."
Because of the building's landmark status, certain of SOM's proposed improvements—like a planned double-glazed curtain wall—cannot be implemented. But there are other, permissible strategies that will improve the building's performance, such as chilled beams, which use less energy for cooling than conventional HVAC systems. The architects have developed a system of modular partitions with spring-loaded connectors that take advantage of the existing column-free space. SOM also designed a catalog of furniture that guests can choose from; all pieces fit the building's 1950s aesthetic while conforming to modern sustainable standards for VOCs and formaldehyde.
The jury was taken with the commitment to finding new methods, and overcoming challenges, in an effort to make a mid-century building sustainable by today's standards. "The fact that this is land-marked actually created huge limitations on the retrofit," said Blaine Brownell. "It couldn't be double-glazed, which probably would have been much better, so there's all kinds of attention being paid to these minor environmental upgrades— with, I'm sure, significant cost as a result. Ultimately, it shows that there's a [larger] problem: Are we being serious about upgrading these buildings?" Andres Lepik appreciated the attention to detail: "You take a land-marked tower and make a sustainable restoration, down to the desks and the chairs."

Hamburg is the main city for shopping in the northern region of Germany. There are several streets and shopping malls where you can buy almost everything from the most expensive clothing stores, to stores and or most modern or alternative shops, just outside the central zone of the city
The preferred area for the locals to shop is the mall that is located on Mönckebergstraße street in the center of Hamburg. To cope with the weather, the decision was to close a street in the center of town, so that consumers would be more comfortable. Just beside there is also another very busy street, the Spitalerstraße. These are the places where you see most people carrying bags, others just going for walks, or to window shop, even chatting. But the downtown area has many other malls such as the: Hanseviertel, or Bleichenhof Gallery which are some of the largest.It is also possible to find some stores that are cheaper and very popular among the youth, especially those related to design. Go for a walk in Schanzenviertel area and find them. There also shops that sells vintage items, increasingly popular in Hamburg as well as the outlet stores or second-hand shops known for selling good products. One of the most visited is the Hot Dogs store in Marktstrasse, 38. Alternatively, you can go to the Vintage and Rags in Mühren Kurze, 6. You will certainly not leave any of these stores empty-handed.

what to wear for skiing
key pieces
Ask any skier why they ski, and the responses include exploring snowy terrain and the wonder that is fresh powder, and the incredible full-body workout that comes from a week spent skiing or snowboarding. An active holiday that goes from mornings at mountain-top to sociable get-togethers by the fire, skiing offers the chance to constantly improve technique; moving from red to black runs and skiing off-piste, or challenging yourself in the snow parks. Whether heli-skiing or weaving around moguls, there is something special about the sense of adventure and complete exhilaration that comes from hitting the slope; spending the days arcing crisp turns down a mountain and into après ski.
what to wear for skiing
A typical day of skiing can take you from sub-zero temperatures at mountain-top to basking on a deckchair in the midday sun, to huddling by the fire during après-ski. Temperature regulation is therefore essential. To ensure your outfit ticks every box, stick to the three layer rule, detailed below.
Base layers â worn next to the skin, these long-sleeved tops and leggings should be lightweight and sweat-wicking. Seamlessly engineered fabric will prevent chafing, allow for a greater range of movement and deliver a flattering fit.
Mid-layers are there for insulation. Lightweight, thermal, fleecy fabrics are recommended. Choose merino fabric â its natural thermal and sweat-wicking qualities and temperature regulation make it the skier's go-to for mid-layers.
Outer layer jackets should be thermal, waterproof and breathable. Choose technical styles in statement prints for maximum comfort and confidence on the slopes.
Functional features that will enhance both comfort and performance. From padded knees and breathable air vents to hidden zip pockets and an adjustable hood that can accommodate a helmet.
Gaiters on jackets and trousers, designed to stop the snow getting in; a must-have for powdery conditions.
Skiing accessories such as fleece-lined gloves, technical socks, a durable helmet and anti-fog goggles. Don't get on the chairlift without them.

GERD symptoms can occur at any time. However, they usually occur after overeating, or lying down after a big meal. Symptoms may last for a few minutes or a few hours.
The most common symptoms of GERD include:
- Heartburn—a burning feeling that starts in the lower chest and may move up the throat
Frequent, persistent, recurrent, or chronic indigestion. Symptoms of indigestion include:
- Upper abdominal pain or discomfort following a meal
- Burping, bloating, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting
- Regurgitation of stomach contents into the back of the mouth or throat
- Sour or bitter taste in the back of mouth or throat
Other symptoms of GERD may include:
- Sore throat
- Bad breath
- Hoarseness
- Chronic cough
- Choking
- Wheezing or trouble breathing
- Insomnia
- Feeling of a lump in the throat
- Difficulty or painful swallowing
- Chest pain Note: GERD can feel like the pain associated with a heart attack. Do not assume that chest pain is GERD or indigestion. If you have chest pains or other symptoms of a possible heart attack, call for medical help immediately for emergency medical care.
- Recurrent vomiting or failure to thrive in infants
Long-term complications of GERD may include:
- Esophagitis—inflammation of the esophagus
- Bleeding and ulcers in the esophagus
- Dental problems, which may occur because of the effect of stomach acid on tooth enamel
