I'm replacing my old Specialized saddle with an Sella Italia SLR Max gel flow. I want to keep the saddle height exactly the same as before. I think the rail height might be different on the two saddles. So how to do that?
Thank you!
I'm replacing my old Specialized saddle with an Sella Italia SLR Max gel flow. I want to keep the saddle height exactly the same as before. I think the rail height might be different on the two saddles. So how to do that?
Thank you!
Can't be done. Oh you can measure from the BB over the top of the saddle and back down to the other side of the BB. That will get you two saddles at the same height. But what about saddle compression? When you get on the two different saddles, the two won't compress the same. Trial and error is the only answer beyond the ball park that the measurement provides.
Saddle curves and not sitting in exactly the same spot on different ones preclude an exact solution.
I _hate_ changing saddles and seatposts.
You can get close though.
Put a straight edge or ruler over the part of the saddle where you actually sit and measure to the BB center from that edge using a tape measure.
Now put on the new saddle, level it out, then put the ruler over where you will be sitting on the new saddle and match the measurement as best as you can.
I have saddles which have sagged with usage over time and have had to reset their height. Then a new one of the same type and model doesn't fit right at that height. Also I have two saddles of the same model and brand but with different density foam that have to be run at different heights to get the leg extension the same.
My hero: "Tar-Baby ain't sayin' nuthin'..." (Joel Chandler Harris, Uncle Remus")
Drill a hole thru your bike shorts directly under your sitbone. Run a piece of string out this hole and down to the bottom bracket while sitting on the bike. Measure and replicate with the new saddle. May be easier if the saddles have a cut out.
Place a book on top of the seat and measure to the top of the book on both ends. This will not only give you the height but the angle very close, and the edge of the book is a nice defined place to measure to.
You should also consider taking some measurements from the old saddle to the stem to get it in the same fore/aft position. The saddle fore aft position will change if the shape of the new saddle is wider or narrower as you settle in at a new spot.
There's an easy way that is "right". And once you know the dimension,, you can set up any bike's seat height fast.
It's all about getting your hips the right height above the BB and pedals so you have the most natural knee bend. (This test assumes you want the same seat "height" you had before.) So:
Sit on your old bike next to a wall so you are centered on the bike and seat. Rotate one crank, say the right, all the way down. (Always use the same crank, right or left. Different crank lengths DO put a hitch into this method.) Place your heel on the underside of the pedal so the heel bone is on the spindle with your knee straight. Now bend your knee. Don't rock your hips! If your heel lifts off, put on a thick sock and repeat the test. Still lift off? Try a low heeled cycling shoe. Perhaps a slipper. Keep going until you find that footwear where you can straighten your knee or flex it a bit and your heel does not lift off. There is one very specific point where you can pass that test. For me it is barefoot. I do best with a fair amount of knee bend.
Now just set up your new bike to pass that same test with the same footwear. And remember the footwear. It will save you a lot of time down the road.
With the pedal in an identical position(both saddles), your knee should also be in same position. Set up a jig to check this.
I ride the old seat first, then just swap the saddle by eye and take a spin around the block.
I feel any height difference immediately and adjust.
Use a stick. I use a stick. ... or a rigid ruler. You can get close enough to prevent having to make big changes on your first ride.
Obviously measure from the BB shell or the pedal, and press on the saddle to see how much it flexesk, then measure. Sure, it ain't a technique NASA would use, but it's not rocket surgery
Don't forget that reading will differ with latitude and altitude, maybe as much as a mm.

What promises to be a fascinating discussion about life as an industrial designer is currently taking root on the Core77 Boards. The original poster, presumably a student on the verge of making a crucial decision, started out with a vague (and impossibly broad) query on whether industrial design is a financially lucrative profession. In our members' efforts to answer, the topic is beginning to veer towards the quality of an industrial designer's life.
We would need to identify some parameters in order to ballpark your average ID'er's quality of life. As mentioned before, industrial design is an impossibly broad field, since you can loosely define it as designing anything produced from a factory (and these days, even that is changing). Our readers work everything from plastic widgets to automobiles, appliances to furniture, environments to user interfaces. Some are one-man or -woman studios, others work in consultancies, still others at large corporations.
So what are the commonalities? For one thing, because we often design things that will be produced by machines whose cost far exceeds our own means, we're often at the mercy of others with larger pockets or a firmer hand on the pursestrings. Which is to say, we are not in positions of absolute power, generally speaking. (Kickstarter and low-cost RP are changing this somewhat, but I believe the impact is fractional.)
Secondly, we work in a fairly obscure profession; when a child talks occupations they want to be a firefighter, a doctor or a police officer when they grow up, not the junior designer on staff at a structural package design firm responsible for low-cost cleaning solution bottles targeted at the Latin American market. Because most people don't understand what we do and why it's necessary, there is a degree of skepticism and don't-get-it-ness that the lesser-established among us are used to dealing with, from engineers who don't take our profession seriously to marketers who feel our primary task is to change the CAD model into a color of their choosing. For every famous Behar, Starck and Rashid that have earned the power of sway, there are thousands of us who understand we will continually deal with conflict and opposition. To an industrial designer, it's not a strange sensation to design some cool feature—then instantly start thinking about how you're going to justify and defend it to others involved in the process.Thirdly, there's the question of talent. Design schools graduate students by the dozens or hundreds, and it's not like the Navy SEALs, where the vast bulk are weeded out to create a numerically-tiny super elite force. If you are gifted with prodigious talent that you have honed into elite skill, and are in a position to exercise those things in defiance of the two paragraphs above, I'd say your quality of life is going to be good. If your talent is mediocre, or if you are good "in the room" (i.e., pitching) but have a knack for underdelivering, I'd say you're in for some misery.
Fourthly, there's the question of what I call the two P's—passion and patience. Passion is what fortifies you to overcome the manifold obstacles in our profession; it keeps you up at night, refining, perfecting and preparing. Patience is what enables you to do these things repeatedly, project after project. If you don't have these two things, I suspect you do ID for a few years and then move on.
Lastly, satisfaction is relative, is it not? If we put design snobbery aside for a moment, we realize it's possible the inventor of the USB-powered coffee mug warmer was just as satisfied as Bill Stumpf signing off on the final tool drawings for the Aeron.
I'm sure there are other commonalities specific to the field of industrial design, and I'd love to hear your takes, particularly from those of you in the furthest-flung fields of ID. Please sound off either in the comments, or add to the original discussion.
If the original poster's question about finances was really all they're looking for, well, we put together that Industrial Design Salary Survey for that very reason. But I will point out one thing: People go into finance, real estate development or bounty hunting for the promise of its paydays. No one, I think, goes into industrial design for the money. (Though you may enjoy looking at "Loewy Lived Large.")

Product description
With passion, critical questioning, and humor, Adrienne Rich suggests how poetry has actually been lived in the world, past and present. In this essay, which was the basis for her speech upon accepting the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, she ranges among themes including poetry's disparagement as "either immoral or unprofitable," the politics of translation, how poetry enters into extreme situations, different poetries as conversations across place and time. In its openness to many voices, Poetry and Commitment offers a perspective on poetry in an ever more divided and violent world. "I hope never to idealize poetry-it has suffered enough from that. Poetry is not a healing lotion, an emotional massage, a kind of linguistic aromatherapy. Neither is it a blueprint, nor an instruction manual, nor a billboard."

Author information
Widely read, widely anthologized, widely interviewed and widely taught, Adrienne Rich (1929-2012) was for decades among the most influential writers of the feminist movement and one of the best-known American public intellectuals. She wrote two dozen volumes of poetry and more than a half-dozen of prose. Her constellation of honors includes a National Book Award for poetry for Tonight, No Poetry Will Serve, a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant in 1994, and a National Book Award for poetry in 1974 for Diving Into the Wreck. That volume, published in 1973, is considered her masterwork. Ms. Rich's other volumes of poetry include The Dream of a Common Language, A Wild Patience Has Taken Me This Far, An Atlas of the Difficult World, The School Among the Ruins, and Telephone Ringing in the Labyrinth. Her prose includes the essay collections On Lies, Secrets, and Silence; Blood, Bread, and Poetry; an influential essay, "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence," and the nonfiction book Of Woman Born, which examines the institution of motherhood as a socio-historic construct. In 2006, Rich was awarded the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters by the National Book Foundation. In 2010, she was honored with The Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry's Lifetime Recognition Award. Mark Doty is the author of eight previous books of poetry and four books of prose. His many honors include the National Book Award, National Book Critics Circle Award, the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, a Whiting Writers' Award, a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Writers' Award, and, in the UK, the T. S. Eliot Prize. He is a professor at Rutgers University and lives in New York City.

Croatia to Cut 20,000 Public-Sector Jobs, Linic Tells State TV
Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Croatia's government will dismiss 20,000 people in the public sector in an effort to cut costs and stick to its budget plans, Finance Minister Slavko Linic said.
"We have to start reducing the number of employees as there is no more room for lowering salaries," Linic told state TV late yesterday.
Croatia, set to become the EU's 28th member next July, is struggling with a recession that's gripping the Balkans because of Europe's debt crisis. Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic wants to reduce the former Yugoslav republic's spending by 4 billion kuna ($700 million) by lowering subsidies to state companies and cutting public wages as it integrates with the west.
The government on Sept. 17 said it is canceling collective job contracts stipulating benefits for public workers to the year-end after negotiations with unions broke down over cuts proposed by the Cabinet.
The World Bank, Fitch Ratings and other credit-rating companies have urged the government to press on with a reduction of the bloated public sector and revamp collective contracts that give vast benefits to public workers.

US: A-B attacked for "Spyke-ing kids"
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 5 April 2007
A US consumer watchdog has attacked Anheuser-Busch for its "kid-friendly" marketing of Spykes.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest said yesterday (4 April) that it believes the brewer is trying to "get children interested in alcohol" through its positioning of the drink. Spykes are available in what the body describes as "kid-friendly flavours" such as Spicy Mango, Hot Melons, Spicy Lime and Hot Chocolate. The CSPI is asking A-B to launch an immediate nationwide recall of Spykes and is calling on state attorneys general to investigate.
"Anheuser-Busch should immediately pull Spykes off of shelves, apologise to parents, and hope that in the meantime, no young person wraps his or her car around a tree after being Spyked once too often at the prom," said George Hacker, director of alcohol policies at the CSPI.
"Anheuser-Busch is practically begging to be investigated, subpoenaed, sued, or hauled before a Congressional committee to explain this one."
The two-ounce drinks are fortified with caffeine, ginseng and guarana - ingredients which the CSPI claims are "typically associated with energy drinks that are popular with young people".
The body has threatened to launch private litigation if its call to state attorneys general goes unheeded.
Although no-one was available for comment at A-B when contacted today, a spokesperson told local press that the brewer is "adamantly opposed to underage drinking.
"No company has done more to demonstrate its commitment to proactively fighting this problem," the spokesperson continued, adding that the CSPI is "a perennial, fear-mongering, anti-alcohol group whose members are in the business of spreading misinformation".

If this were true, then you could stimulate the economy by giving everyone a $10 tax break on the condition that they give that money to someone else.
The only way it works, is if rather than giving the money, they use it to purchase some good or service-- that is, value added to the economy. Simply moving money around doesnt cut it, there has to be something that you're exchanging the money for.
Otherwise, we would have our ditch diggers use spoons, and have workmen build highrises without the assistance of cranes. Sure, it would take them forever to put a building up, but think of the employment opportunities! Except that the actual goods produced by our economy would drastically fall if we approached industry in this way and we would cease to be economically competitive with other countries.

"We went very simple with this design - solid backing, and normal corners. The result is beautiful! The image we chose came out crisp, and the color is spot-on. The paper is high quality too."
"We love these save the dates, they are such good quality. We chose the purple colour and paid the extra for rounded edges and the pearl white shimmer which I think was worth it. We didn't pay for extra thick cardboard but I don't think you need it. They are printed on nice cardboard as it is. We have had so many compliments about our save the dates, definitely getting the matching invitations! And these are SO much cheaper then anywhere else you look. Thank you so much WPD"
"Our colors are black and gold so I did not modify the colors on the design at all. We ordered the flat card so we could personalize the back with a picture as well. We also used the shimmer paper. I'm glad we paid the extra for that because it made it a little more special. Shipping was fast and the quality is great for the price. Highly recommend! I can't wait to send them out!"
"We love our save the dates and plan to use this design for all our invitations, etc. Being an older couple (late 40's) planning a second wedding, we've been trying to find a look that was elegant but not too formal and weren't interested in using photos. These are perfect! The design is so lovely and has the look of a painted canvas, and the quality of the paper was top notch and reasonably priced. An excellent product!"
"I used the blue/green flower color choice, and I loved it! I had to slightly alter the names (I wanted first and last) and they sent me a proof following my instructions and it came out perfect! They also arrived much sooner than I was expecting. Everyone who sees them thinks they are so pretty! Love them! I'll be ordering the coordinating invitation set and thank you cards soon."

IAF bombs Gaza weapons manufacturing site after rocket strikes Negev
No injuries or damage in attacks; IAF hits Rafah weapons facility in reponse to first rocket since cease-fire.
The Israel Air Force on late Wednesday night struck a weapons manufacturing facility in the area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, hours after after a Qassam rocket fired by Gaza militants hit the Eshkol region in the western Negev.
The Israel Defense Forces said a hit was identified.
The rocket Wednesday the first to hit Israel since a shaky cease-fire ended Israel's three-week offensive in the coastal enclave.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in the rocket strike.
Eshkol Regional Council head Haim Yalin said following the rocket strike that "we expect Israel's government not to be dragged into a policy of restraint, and we expect a forceful response to preserve the security of the residents of the Gaza envelope."
Earlier Wednesday, the Palestinians claimed that they had fired a Qassam rocket at Israel in response to an Israel Air Force bombing of tunnels in the Philadelphi corridor near Gaza's border with Egypt. Israeli military officials said that no rocket landing site had been located following the Palestinian announcement.
The IAF airstrike followed a bomb blast Tuesday along the Israel-Gaza border, in which an Israel Defense Forces soldier was killed and three others were wounded.
Rafah residents began to flee their homes in panic as the Israeli aircraft struck three times, Hamas officials said. There was no initial word of any casualties.
An IDF spokesman said the air strike came in response to a remote-control bomb attack at the Gaza Strip security fence Tuesday, which killed an Israel Defense Forces tracker and wounded three other soldiers, one seriously.
The IDF spokesperson said Wednesday that the blame for the IAF strike lays solely at the feet of Hamas in that "as the sole authority in the Gaza Strip, Hamas bears full responsibility of all terror originating from within its area of control. The IDF will respond to any terror attacks in accordance with decisions made by the Israeli government."
The border blast was the Palestinians' first deadly attack since the cease-fire ended Operation Cast Lead, and came the day before the arrival of George Mitchell, the U.S. envoy to the Middle East.
Earlier on Tuesday, IAF aircraft fired a missile at a militant on a motorbike in the Khan Yunis area of Gaza. The Shin Bet security service, which helped coordinate the missile strike, said the militant, Hussein Abu-Shamaya, was involved in the bomb attack. The bomb was planted by a Hamas breakaway group identified with the Al-Qaida-affiliated Global Jihad, the Shin Bet said.
In addition, a Palestinian man, apparently a farmer, was killed in exchanges of fire between IDF troops and Palestinians in Gaza after the bomb was detonated, according to Palestinian reports. The incident took place while IDF tanks and soldiers, assisted by helicopters, were patrolling Gaza after the attack.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned of a "further response" to the attack.
"What the IDF did today was not a response but a preliminary action," he said at a meeting of ministry directors general. "A further response to this serious incident will be forthcoming."
The security cabinet is to meet Wednesday to discuss security projects, but the situation in Gaza might also be discussed.
Olmert, noting that he had termed the cease-fire "fragile," also said: "We don't even call it a cease-fire but a holding of fire in the face of Hamas infractions, so that we can retain the IDF's freedom of action."
Defense Minister Ehud Barak decided to strike Hamas targets in response to the death of the tracker.
"We do not intend to gloss over incidents like these," Barak said. "We will not let Hamas and its outgrowths continue their hostile acts of terror. Anyone who hits us will have to absorb a serious blow in the future, too."
Sources in the Prime Minister's Bureau said Tuesday Israel was not negotiating with Hamas over a cease-fire or second lull. "The Egyptians are speaking to Hamas to attain things that are important for them, but we are not obligated to anything. We have not signed understandings or an agreement with Hamas," a source in Olmert's bureau said.
Israel and Egypt are apparently formulating an understanding on the passage of merchandise from Israel to the Gaza Strip, and at the same time some increased freedom of movement in the opening of the Rafah crossing from the Strip to Egypt.
The Kerem Shalom and Karni crossings on the Gaza border were closed after the attack. Approximately 185 trucks carrying aid and equipment were to have crossed into Gaza yesterday.
The bomb near the Gaza border detonated around 8 A.M., as an IDF patrol was passing near the Kissufim crossing, north of Kibbutz Kissufim. The tracker was killed and an officer was seriously hurt. One of his legs was amputated and the other one is severely damaged. Two other soldiers were classified as lightly hurt and will be released in a few days. Soroka Medical Center said they had extensive shrapnel wounds.
The name of the tracker, a Bedouin, was not released, at the request of his family.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the soldiers were patrolling an area that had not been patrolled for several weeks due to the fighting in the Strip. The regional brigade commander was apparently not apprised of the patrol, which was approved by the battalion commander. IDF sources said the Palestinians who planted the bomb did so Monday night, under cover of heavy fog.
The closure of the Gaza crossings is only the first stage of Israel's response to the attack, Amos Gilad, who heads the Defense Ministry's political bureau, said yesterday. "The equation in the Strip has changed," he said during a lecture at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.
Yuval Azoulay, Avi Issacharoff and Barak Ravid contributed to this report.

We upgraded to this dryer from a 13 year old run-of-the-mill electric dryer. I've never owned a gas dryer before, but I'm very impressed. The matching washer already gets our clothes nearly dry, but this gas dryer does great finishing the job. Our clothes come out with less static and feel fluffier. I also love the sound dampening feature. Buttons and zippers are much quieter than with my old dryer. The auto-drying time sensor gets confused sometimes, requiring slightly damp clothes to go for another few minutes. Overall we are very happy with our new gas dryer.

I have owned this product one month when a metal on metal tapping sound started. The first serviceman said there was nothing wrong. I called Whirlpool customer care and they sent another serviceman. He found that the drum is defective. I asked Whirlpool to replace the entire appliance but they said no. So the repair company ordered the drum and it too was defective. I am now awaiting for another drum. Three weeks have gone by. I am wishing I had never ordered this product. And Whirlpool should be ashamed that can't give good customer care.

FANTASTIC Appliance!
By Frugle Dave
from San Bernardino, CA
Comments about Whirlpool Duet White Gas Steam Dryer:
I have had this appliance for a month (I got it the same time I got the washer and wrote a review on that item). I love this appliance as much as the washer. Both items together was a very good investment. The dryer is fantastic, so many great cycles to choose from and it is very quiet, cannot hear it run at all. Very easy to work, select your preferences, push button(s) walk away and will ring when done. The clothes always come out soft and smelling so fresh. A special added for me is my linen closet, when I open to get a towel, the smell is so wonderful, the fragrance is very refreshing. Thank you for an amazing appliance.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome not having wrinkled clothes!
By SixHertz
from Minneapolis, MN
After extensive research, I purchased this washer/dryer combination for the extensive number of features and price I was able to get for the pair. So far I'm pleased with the build quality and performance of the 97 models. I especially like the wrinkle prevention features, including the steam refresh option, which saves me from having to iron my button down work shirts. And boy can the dryer get hot! Towels come out fluffy and clothes wrinkle free with the wrinkle shield options. Hopefully we continue to have a trouble free experience over the years!

Comments about Whirlpool 7.4 cu. ft. Stainless Steel Duet Steam Dryer:
Friends with Duets raved about their machines, convincing me to buy these. One has had their pair twelve years, the other two and neither has had service issues.This dryer has performed well on every setting. Sometimes I do have to run it a bit longer to make sure the items are thoroughly dry, usually when I have a number of sweatshirts in the load, but I have had to do that with my old dryer also. It is very quiet, with a nice musical, end of cycle tone (which may be turned off).The steam cycle is well worth the extra money. Originally, I wan't going to I spend the extra money, but I am very happy we did. I have had numerous items I previously would have had to iron come out not needing even a touch up. It also has been great to throw it wrinkled items to have them come out fresh and much less wrinkled.Great Abt delivery, with a number of dates to choose from. The Delivery people call with the approximate time, and then, again when they are 10-15 minutes away. The matching pedestals made the dryer too tall to fit under our cabinets, and so delivery took them with them and we received the credit for the price the next day.

Arthur Murray Dance StudiosRead MoreArthur Murray has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with other classmates as the instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.2566 EASTERN BLVDYORK, PA US

These are much better gas irons than the Weller brand. We've been using them for about 8 years at work and they have held up very well. They light every time and seem to run a long time on fuel supply.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur
Meditation is like a love affair with your innermost self. At times it can be ecstatic and entrancing, other times simple and still—and sometimes you might not even feel its profound effects until later.
Now with Meditation for the Love of It, Sally Kempton shares practical secrets to help us turn meditation into an unconditional embrace of the fullness of our experience—on and off the meditation cushion. With the gentle wisdom and compassion of one who understands the nuances of practice, she opens us to the joy of exploring the deep and mysterious inner landscape of the heart, mind, and body.
Drawing on her 40 years as a teacher and a fellow meditator, Sally teaches us how we can connect to our inner longings and creative "shakti" energy to allow the transformative gifts and blessings of meditation to unfold. With playfulness and devotion—two key attitudes in sustaining a daily practice—she shares indispensable guidance for this voyage of self-discovery, including:
· How to tune in to your own "meditation channel," a bandwidth of tranquillity, energy, and joy
· Why you don't need a quiet mind to meditate
· How the force known as Kundalini can fuel your practice
· Connecting to your ever-present Inner Beloved to let go of conditioned ideas about yourself and make space for the True Self to come forth
· Ripening your practice beyond technique into the "sweet mysterious expanse of spontaneous meditation"
· More than 20 practices for bringing the peace and insight of meditation into your daily life
"Remember: what you seek in meditation is your own Beloved, your own inner intelligence, your own Awareness, and your own Truth," teaches Sally. Meditation for the Love of It points us back to our own intimate heart of hearts, our own deepest experience, and the bliss of existence itself.

The nation's rate of maternal mortality has steadily risen in recent years, and nowhere is that increase more evident than in Georgia.
Georgia has the highest rate of maternal deaths among the 50 states, according to public health officials.
The Georgia estimate of 35 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2011 has risen from an average 20.5 in 2001 to 2006.
That increase kept the state "at the bottom of the pile when it comes to maternal mortality," said Dr. Seema Csukas, director of the Maternal and Child Health Section for the state Department of Public Health.
When Athens resident Ruthann Lariscy's joints started to ache last spring, she believed it a side effect of aging.
But when the pain persisted, she spoke with rheumatologist Dr. Will Chafin.
Chafin came to Athens just over a year ago with the Arthritis Center of North Georgia, a group practice that began more than 50 miles away in Gainesville.
The center branched out to the Classic City due to overwhelming demand. Before Chafin and his partners set up shop in Athens, there were no practices specializing exclusively in rheumatology.
Alan R. Morgan, M.D. recently joined St. Mary's Neurological Specialists as a neurohospitalist, a physician who specializes in providing neurological care to patients while they are in the hospital.
Morgan will treat patients exclusively at St. Mary's Hospital.
Prior to working at St. Mary's, Morgan worked at South Carolina Neurological Clinic, a private practice in Columbia, S.C.
Morgan will join H. McCord Smith, M.D., and C. Van Morris, M.D., founders of the neurohospitalist program at St. Mary's and the region's first neurohospitalists.
Athens Health Network recently hired Laura Alexander as its new executive director.
Alexander is a health educator with experience leading public health initiatives in Virginia and North Carolina. She received a master's degree in public health from UNC's Gillings School of Global Public Health with a focus on health disparities in maternal and child health.
Melissa Kelley of Athens, a nursing student at the Chamberlain College of Nursing's Atlanta campus, recently returned from a service project trip to Honduras where she assisted local residents with little to no access to proper health care.
WASHINGTON — An experimental device is letting paralyzed people drive wheelchairs simply by flicking their tongue in the right direction.
Key to this wireless system: Users get their tongue pierced with a magnetic stud that resembles jewelry and acts like a joystick.
Researchers said that 11 people paralyzed from the neck down rapidly learned to use the tongue device to pilot their wheelchairs through an obstacle course full of twists and turns, and to operate a computer, too.
Who doesn't love chocolate truffles? They are the essence of chocolate, and a sure-fire mood enhancer. Pop even one into your mouth and see if you don't get happy.
Given the richness of a chocolate truffle — a blend of chocolate, sugar and cream — it's nice that chocolate has been found to be good for us. Still, assuming you wanted to jettison some of the calories in this treat without sacrificing a molecule of its lush flavor, where would you start? Cutting the chocolate or sugar would be a bad idea. Both are needed. But how about the cream?
Local healthcare offices will provide free HIV/AIDS testing Dec. 2-5 as part of World Aids Day.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Visitors to the government's health care website encounter fewer errors and the system now works most of the time, administration officials said Sunday in a progress report.But they also acknowledged the rocky rollout of healthcare.gov included hundreds of software bugs, inadequate equipment and inefficient management.
DALLAS — Today's kids can't keep up with their parents. An analysis of studies on millions of children around the world finds they don't run as fast or as far as their parents did when they were young.
On average, it takes children 90 seconds longer to run a mile than their counterparts did 30 years ago.
Heart-related fitness has declined 5 percent per decade since 1975 for children ages 9 to 17.

Burj Al Arab, Dubai
40 Reviews
40 Reviews
When Dubai is mentioned, many people think of the iconic Burj Al Arab - the hotel built out on a spit in the Gulf, that looks like a giant sail. The Burj claims to be "The Best Hotel in the World", and has given itself 7 stars. It is the world's tallest dedicated hotel, and all 202 of its suites and two-storey, with unbeatable views.
If you think the outside looks impressive, wait till you get inside - the "ostentatious opulence will leave you reeling" (to steal a quote from my Guide book). The lower lobby area has a dancing fountain, and two massive tropical fish-tank-walls. Ride up the escalator into the main lobby area, looking up as you do into the soaring atrium, with its over-the-top gold and blue décor. Then look down at the garish carpet that clashes terribly, but somehow works amongst the other gaudy appointments.
To get up close to the Burj Al Arab, you need to either be staying there, or have an advance reservation to dine in one of the restaurants, or to have a drink in one of the bars. As you can imagine, dining doesn't come cheap here, so one of the more economical options is to go for afternoon tea. Booking a few weeks in advance, the only afternoon tea slot available was at 5.30pm in the Sahn Eddar Atrium Bar, located off the hotel's lobby.
We arrived by taxi, and as we came to the hotel gates, on the mainland, the guard requested to see our booking confirmation. We were then waved through, drove along the spit, and were dropped off at the front door. We arrived early, which gave us plenty of time for taking photos outside, and then inside the lobby area. Photos are allowed in the lobby area, but not in any of the bars or restaurants to protect the privacy of the exclusive guests.
Although the afternoon tea was not at the standard one would imagine from a 7 star hotel, it was well worth it to gain admittance to this architectural marvel.
I've got mixed feelings about this one. On some nights, I'm mesmerized by this mirage-like structure arising out of the deceptively calm sea. A tall, breathtaking beauty whose outer visage keeps changing colour at regular intervals... from an azure blue to a lullaby-like pink.
Then I remember how filthily gaudy it is from the inside. A bling-obsessed ode to bad taste. And a photographed-to-death symbol of "glittering", "picture-perfect" Dubai.
There's no denying the indescribable mystique surrounding the Burj. It's just that some things are better left to the imagination, especially when the reality is SO over-the-top. Personally, this wouldn't make my list of Dubai must-sees. But I'm aware that many of you are attracted to the Burj al Arab - so do enjoy its drama if you get the chance.
Burj Al Arab is a part of The Jumeirah Beach Resort, situated 17km south of the city of Dubai. It is designed to resemble a billowing sail; the hotel soars to a height of 321 metres, dominating the Dubai coastline. At night, it offers an unforgettable sight, surrounded by choreographed color sculptures of water and fire. This all-suite hotel reflects the finest that the world has to offer.
This is a hotel, but for most people it cannot be an accomodation tip as the cost of a room starts from 1.300 euro per night.
It is known to be the only 7 stars hotel in the world, but I am still wondering who decided it has 7 starts as, as far as I know, the maximum is still 5.
Officially you can visit the hotel booking a table for an evening tea(about 80 euros) or a dinner at their beach restaurant(about 70 euro), we couldn't do that as everything was booked and got to enter tipping a taxi driver(50 euro for 3 persons) with some contacts inside.
Definitly beautiful and spectacular inside but somehow kitsch for my tastes.
The Burj Al Arab with its 321 m is the second tallest building in the world used exclusively as a hotel. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a curving bridge. It is an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation and to mimic the sail of a boat.
Construction of Burj Al Arab began in 1994. It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium.
You can watch my 1 min 32 sec HD Video Dubai Burj Al Arab out of my Youtube channel with Dalida – Salma Ya Salama.
Burj Al Arab has luxurious interiors inside. The atrium is 180 m tall.
Burj Al Arab promotes itself as the world's only "7-star" property. All major travel guides and hotel rating systems have a 5-star maximum. Yet according to the Burj Al Arab's official site, the hotel is a "5-star deluxe hotel".
Despite its size, the Burj Al Arab holds only 28 double-storey floors which accommodate 202 bedroom suites. The smallest suite occupies an area of 169 m2, the largest covers 780 m2. It is one of the most expensive hotels in the world. The cost of staying in a suite begins at US$1,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, starting at US$28,000 per night.
Luckily we didn't live in the hotel, haha! We bought a tour to visit it inside and have a dinner in its restaurant on its top. It cost us $180 for a person with the transfer from and back Sharjah.
Whether you want it or not, you'll see it anyway because in Dubai all roads lead to Burj - at least until other architectural wonders like Palm Island, Hydropolis, Burj Dubai or World are completed :)
On the out side it looks really amazing, whether you are looking at it on bright, sunny day or at night, because colorful lights are very nice. But, inside, it's totally different story.
I know that we all have different taste and style, and I'm sorry I have to say this but, inside Burj Al Arab looks like it was designed by schizoid. Where ever you look, you can see all colors in spectrum at once, which is a bit tiring. My advice is - stay outside and stay amazed!
The Burj al Arab is the world's only 7* hotel.
Being slightly beyond my budget, and with a strict dress code even to visit the hotel bar, I had to settle for a glimpse from the outside.
It is certainly an impressive structure, shaped like the sail of a dhow, and currently the world's tallest hotel.
The hotel has its own fleet of Rolls Royces to transfer guests to and from the airport, and all guests benefit from the services of their own 24-hour on-call service staff.
The Burj al Arab is perhaps Dubai's most recognisable landmark - for the time being at least, before it is surpassed by forthcoming developments.
This is the first seven-star hotel in the world. Having all the first class facilities, Burj Al Arab becomes one of the famous landmark of Dubai. In the evening (usually starts at 7 PM), Burj Al Arab starts to display a beautiful colorful lights.
Burj Al Arab in Arabic means "Tower of Arabs". Its Dubai's most expensive and luxurious hotel where minimum per night rates start from $1000. If you are in Dubai then do try to see this hotel. They would charge you AED 120 ( $35 appox) per person as entry fee. This fee is refundable at any of restaurants in the hotel . You are supposed to wear formal clothes and no entry is allowed to any one wearing shorts, sneakers, sandals or other casual clothes. You would need to deposit your cameras at reception as photography inside hotel is not allowed.
The hotel has sail shaped structure which is 321 meters above Arabian gulf. It has been built on man made island 280 meters off shore. There are 202 suites in the hotel. Jumeirah beach hotel and Wild Wadi water park are located just next to it.
Each suite has its own reception, living area , dinning area and office desk. with laptop, scanners, printers, multimedia systems, fax and copier. Guests have their own dedicated butlers available 24 hours. Each suite has 14 telephones for use of guests. Bath rooms are on ground floor of each suite. They are not less then a wonderland.
The sail structure outside gives rainbow colors at night. 22K Gold is used alot in walls, pillars and domes throughout. Hotel's helipad is located on the 28th floor. The central fountain, called The Volcano, is centre stage for stunning displays. You can enjoy dancing water works there.
People of Dubai are very proud of Burj Al Arab. That is why you would see all cars number plates in Dubai with Burj Al Arab logo. Let me tell you that money you pay at Burj Al Arab is worth what you see and experience. This hotel is also said to be world's only seven star hotel. So plan for Burj Al Arab when you are in Dubai next time!

After having lived in Dubai for almost a year we finally did visit the Burj al Arab in May 07 to celebrate my wife's birthday.
I had booked the Afternoon tea package for both of us. That is by the way the most "economical way" of visiting the Burj and a very nice one too.
First of all you have a choice of many different kinds of teas. Once you've selected yours, they serve the tea, along with some small, but very good sandwiches. After that you get a tray full of small cakes and sweets.
All in all it was a very nice experience.
If you want to book an Afternoon tea package for yourself, make sure that you do that at least a month in advance. To do so, send an e-mail to email@example.com
I didn't stay there - just entered for a drink and a brief visit, and I hesitated between posting this here or in he "Things to do" section. I decided... both.
Everything in Dubai is being built with the objective of getting the top in luxury, comfort and beauty. That's why hotels, malls and office buildings are assuming the role of Dubai tourist attractions.
This hotel easily hits the goal. Each room, each corridor, each corner, each lake or pool was thought to please. And it does. The integration with the shopping center and the sea works fine.
Even if you don't stay there, when visiting Madinat Jumeirah you should enter and look around. It's a privileged place to see the Burj al Arab hotel, and a cocktail in one of its many bars is a fresh relief in the torrid heat of the beach and pool.
Go for lunch, go for dinner, if you cannot afford to stay there overnight.
It is really somthing "to write home about"!
This 7 star hotel is unique. You will not see anything like it.
It is built on a little island just off the beach, it is a masterpiece.
The Burj Al Arab is the most glamorous hotel in the world!!! On a trip to Dubai, if you cannot afford to stay here, you should at least try to visit! You will not be disappointed! It is so beautiful and luxurious!!!
The Burj Al Arab is located on a private road on it's own private island! To enter the hotel, you must make a reservation at one of the restaurants. I went for afternoon tea for $75. It was well worth it, and a tea time I will never forget!
Please see my Travelogue for more photos of the Burj.
Yes, it is very big, beautiful, and inaccessible to the common of mortals. So, stop nearby, make your photos and join our club: "I was there and I saw it".
Nightfall is the best hour, providing two different look, with and without artificial lights.
It is the best hotel in the world. Not a fairy tale but a reality..
If you happen to visit Dubai do not miss the chance of visiting this 7 stared hotel..So georgeous and attractive and it leaves remarkable memories in your visit..
I think I can never afford to pay to stay in this hotel, however I had the chance to visit the hotel and drink coffee in the Lobby.. We have visited the main attractions and also one room.
You need to wear Casual clothes to enter the hotel. No short or Jeans are accepted. In order to visit the hotel you need to pay some fee. As well as I remember it was nearly 20,- USD per person.. As this is a special thing, it worths to pay..
On the Entrance you will see a nice lobby where there are lifts carrying you to the second floor.. Stay some while and watch the watergame.. And look up to the roof.. All double 27 floors (54in total) makes the highest hotel in the world.
On the second floor you may have achance to rest and drink something. Also see the shops.. When you walk to the end of the corridor, you will see the elevators with wonderful doors. If you have a considerable budget, you may enjoy eating at the mediterranean restaurant , 200 meters above the sea level. Or the seafod restaurant that you pass inside a huge aquarium..
The rooms could drive you crazy, approx 325 meter square, it is way bigger than my house.. All rooms have double floor, with the living room and working room below and two sleeping rooms above.. The office room, the living room and the bedrooms have alot to say but bathrooms are quiet hard to explain..
When you are touring the rooms, they do not let you take pictures, So all those wonderful things has to stay somewhere in your memories.
