14.09.05 In one of three terrific fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on Saturday, Oct, 1, International Boxing Federation (IBF) Heavyweight Champion Chris Byrd (38-2-1, 20 KOs) will make the fourth defense of his title against mandatory challenger DaVarryl Williamson (22-3, 18 KOs). In the heavyweight co-feature, James "Lights Out" Toney (68-4-2, 43 KOs) will make his eagerly awaited return to the ring when he defends his International Boxing Association (IBA) crown against Dominick "The Southern Disaster" Guinn (25-2-1, 18 KOs).
Rounding out an excellent SHOWTIME tripleheader that begins at 9:15 ET/PT (delayed on the west coast), talented, hard-hitting IBF bantamweight champion Rafael Marquez (34-3, 30 KOs) risks his belt for a sixth time when he takes on International Boxing Organization (IBO) 118-pound champion/IBF No. 1 contender Silence "African Spice" Mabuza (18-0, 15 KOs).
Opening Comments
Byrd: I am just happy to be fighting again. It has been awhile since I have been back in the ring and knowing DaVarryl how I know him, it is going to be a great fight. So I hope everybody is watching on Oct. 1.
Williamson: I want to thank SHOWTIME for bringing this fight to their network. Byrd, being the champion and being able to offer me a match up with the challenge (has given me a great opportunity). I am looking forward to it. I know Chris very well and his family. It is going to be a very, very intriguing fight. I do not think either one of us is going to leave anything in the ring. I think it is kind of the main event before the main event. At any rate, I am privileged and honored to be in this capacity. I have worked very, very hard and long, many years, getting myself into this and picking myself up by the bootstraps, along with my team. We all worked very hard. We just feel happy and we are up for the encounter and we are excited. We are ready for the challenge.
Question: Chris, can you describe your friendship with DaVarryl?
Byrd: Well, my relationship with DaVarryl started when I was getting ready to fight Maurice Harris and he came in to work with me and then it just blossomed from there. He worked with my son with basketball. I ask about his kids and his wife, and he knows about my kids and my wife, so we call each other periodically. We are just friends. It is cool. But we know in the heavyweight division, even after sparring with each other, we know we are going to have to fight each other eventually.
Question: Chris, you consider boxing a competition and -- friend or no friend -- you let it all hang out in the ring, right?
Byrd: Yeah. We know what is at stake here. It is the heavyweight title and this will be a great fight, but not because I hate DaVarryl. I do not hate anybody. But it is all about competition. Like I said, with my brother (Patrick), we used to try to kill each other (during sparring). Not literally "kill" but go at it every time we got in the ring and I feel in the ring, there is nobody better than me. I feel I have the best skills. I have got the best everything. So I know with DaVarryl, he has the same kind of attitude. We spar, we talk trash, we go back and forth and it is great, great sparring sessions. So I know it is going to be a great fight.
Question: DaVarryl, can you describe your friendship with Chris?
Williamson: I had heard of him and he had heard of me back when I was part of the Michigan (boxing) program. A lot of guys in Marquette, Mich., always spoke very, very highly of Chris. I watched him on Tuesday Night Fights, in a lot of his TV fights. We finally connected in April or May of 2001 before the Maurice Harris fight. It has just been a good relationship. Anytime a person hangs at your house and has dinner and things of that nature, you get a relationship. But we understand this is business and we knew this day would come. This is a huge opportunity for me and my family. It is emotional and it is business. Maybe in a month or two after we will be able to reconvene and have dinner, but you do have to go with thick skin during this time because both of us really want to win. Our relationship goes back a long ways. So it will be the toughest fight I have been in, but I will still embrace him and say, "The best man wins." It is a very intriguing fight because it is very competitive.
Question: Chris, do you have any problems stepping in the ring with your friend or do you share the same attitude he does?
Byrd: I share the exact same attitude as he does. This is certainly a huge business and I want to win. I want to win this fight and he knows that and it will be very competitive. It is going to be a barn burner, I can assure you.
Question: Chris, you had a chance to fight Wladimir Klitschko and DaVarryl wanted to fight him. Could you comment on the situation and how it got to this point?
Byrd: I wanted to get a rematch with Wladimir. But I was not going to go to Germany. It was crazy to go over there being champion. I did not want to just go and hand my belt to the Germans like that. It was crazy for that thought to even come up. I would have fought him here, of course. That would have been no problem.
Question: Chris, what was your take on the fact that DaVarryl came out and said when the court case was filed, "I will fight you in a rematch for the opportunity to fight Chris?" Did that say anything to you about either DaVarryl or Wladimir?
Byrd: DaVarryl wanted to fight his way to the spot. He really deserved to be fighting for the title. Wladimir just wanted to have everything set up in their favor, knowing that fighting in Germany is not a great thing for any American fighter to do, especially when he is fighting for the title. So it spoke volumes for DaVarryl. He could have just sat and waited and said, "OK, I will let those two fight and I will be next in line." But he wanted to fight his way there and that is a true fighter.
Question: Chris, what was your reaction when you heard Lamon Brewster was going to go to Germany to defend his title and did you counsel him against taking that fight for the reasons that you did not take the fight with Wladimir?
Byrd: It was just too late for me to say anything. All I could tell him was to knock him out. There is no U.S. television, nobody is watching and you are fighting on Max Schmeling's birthday. I wish the best for Lamon and I hope he does well.
Question: DaVarryl, can you answer the whole process of going through the court case with Klitschko and what your contention was in trying to force a rematch?
Williamson: Going to court with Wladimir, I was just a victim of circumstance. This is a game of boxing, this is what you do. If you have a dispute, fight. And the judge said, "Hey, pretty much go and sort this out in the hallway. You can sort this out." So I have been assigned as the mandatory challenger and I was willing to suspend my position momentarily and sort this out. Let us have a rematch, let us do it.
Question: Chris, have you ever been offered a fight against James Toney and is that a fight that, if you are successful against DaVarryl, that you would want down the line?
Byrd: When did they say that? Last week? Oh, please James is running scared. James has got the biggest mouth in boxing, but he does not have any heart. He had a chance to fight me when he fought John Ruiz. We thought we were going to make something then. Then it fell apart.
Question: So Chris, you want a chance?
Byrd: I do not care. I just want to box, but he talks all this trash. He keeps bringing my name up, but then will not sign the contract.
Question: If successful against DaVarryl, would you take Toney as your next opponent?
Byrd: It does not matter. He knows I want it, but I do not even know that his people are playing games behind his back. He may want the fight, I do not know, but they sure act like they are running scared. They said this time they needed a tune up. I have not fought since November. Who needs a tune up?
Question: What are your thoughts on the pecking order of the four guys recognized as heavyweight champions?
Byrd: I do not care because it is everybody's opinion.
Question: Do you feel you are the best of the four?
Byrd: Yeah, I do. I feel I am the best heavyweight in the world -- period.
Question: Can you rate the other ones?
Byrd: No, I will not rate them. Everybody has their different styles and everybody can fight and it is all given on that particular night of the fight and who they are fighting. Best man wins. Until you get a unified champion, it is split.
Question: At 35 years old, Chris, do you feel like time is running out on you? Do you think it can be unified by the time you leave this game?
Byrd: I used to be crazy about being the best, No. 1. I wanted to be considered No. 1 heavyweight in the world and everybody know it. But now, at this point in my career, how things have been going in my career and not getting certain fights and people ducking me, I just concentrate on who I am boxing and I do not worry about the unification thing. You cannot make somebody fight you. Whatever happens, happens.
Question: Toney says he feels he is the best in the division period. I know you were trumping for a fight after the Ruiz fight. Do you think Toney should be recognized as one of those champions having beaten Ruiz?
Byrd: Yeah, if his test does not come back dirty. But it came back dirty, so he cannot be champion. You cannot cheat and win. You get caught. He can say he is the best in the world, but now we will see how he looks when he fight Dominick Guinn.
Question: What do you think about fighting on his undercard?
Byrd: He was the headlining fight coming in. We just got added to the card. I guess they did not want to change it. It does not matter.
Question: You do not look at that like a slight?
Byrd: No, I do not care. I am just boxing. As long as the check clears, I do not care if I was the first fight coming out.
Question: So with you holding the championship though, Chris, obviously there is no ego involved in where you place as far as that night is concerned.
Byrd: No, I do not care. It was James Toney fighting Dominick Guinn long before DaVarryl and I were even on the card. So I guess they did not want to change putting the title fight ahead of it. So be it.
Question: Chris, is your style changing? In the Jameel McCline fight, it seemed like a different style than you had really been known for.
Byrd: I do not think it is changing much. I have got a great chin. I can trade with anybody. I do not want to get my chin tested, but certain styles bring out certain things in me. It made for a great fight. Jameel is a close friend of mine, just like DaVarryl. That made a great fight and the same thing will happen in this fight.
Question: So style wise, how will this fight be? What will it be like?
Byrd: I am like a chameleon. When I get in the ring, I can train one way and stick to it the whole camp and then fight another. Knowing DaVarryl and knowing what kind of certain punches he throws he is a hard puncher and you never know what you will get. It all depends on when you get in the ring and what feels comfortable to me.
Question: Chris, you mentioned how hard of a puncher DaVarryl is. Can you rate him as a puncher in terms of where he ranks against the Klitschko's that you fought?
Byrd: There is different kind of power with different kinds of punches you throw. With say, David Tua, he is a short stocky guy. He is coming with more of a hook. With DaVarryl, he has a great right hand and a hook. He is a complete fighter when it comes to boxing, but especially punching. He may not look big, but he punches well. So that actually excites me. He is a big puncher and his record shows it. A lot of guys in this division can punch and I try to stand up to everything and be the complete fighter in the ring.
Question: How much has having sparred with DaVarryl helped motivate you?
Byrd: It helps out a lot because the media or anybody else may not think it is a big fight, but going in, I know it is a huge fight because we know each other so well and DaVarryl knows it is a huge fight also. So it makes for a great fight. I think after this fight, boxing fans and the media will respect both of us as top heavyweights in the division.
Question: DaVarryl, how appreciative are you to be in this position after what happened with Joe Mesi a couple of years ago?
Williamson: I am very appreciative. Are you kidding me? I am kicking and screaming. Joe Mesi is not that good. I lost the fight and I cannot tell you what happened, but he is a kid I raised. So I know he is not that good, but it did happen.
Question: Chris, Samuel Peter is interested in fighting you. Are you going to be rooting for him in this next fight?
Byrd: It does not matter. I am only worrying about the fight that I have to fight first. Everybody should be interested in fighting me because I am champion. I am not doing anybody different and I do not care who wins out of any of the heavyweight fights. I have got to fight them eventually, so it does not matter.
Question: DaVarryl, you are in position to be gain another title to add to your WBO, NABO and WBC Continental America's that we understood were vacant when you KO'd Derrick Jefferson. Correct?
Williamson: Yes, but as we speak, I think somebody is already fighting for them without proper notification. So it does not matter. I am just concentrating on Chris Byrd.
Question: Explain what it means for you in having two or more belts at this time then?
Williamson: There are no advantages because those are regional belts. Those are belts that positioned me for the opportunity. The IBF is the heavyweight championship of the world. The other ones are good belts. They are very good stepping stones. At the time when I won those, they were everything to me. At this time, I am at a different tier in my life. I am with the big boys and I am privileged and happy about this opportunity.
Question: DaVarryl, regarding the Mesi fight, you talked about the professional side of it. Is there anything in your professional or personal life that has changed since then that has gotten you to this point?
Williamson: We did some soul searching after the Mesi fight. My wife told me, "Sweetie, you are the truth and in just a matter of time, the truth will be told that you belong here." Chris knows what I am talking about. Chris saw years ago that I was a fighter that could seriously compete for the heavyweight championship. I have the same coach, the same cut man, the same corner guy, the same wife, the same children, the same publicist, the same lawyer. Everybody is still the same. Those guys believe in me when I say this and it is emotional because a lot of people change up a lot of different things. I will always take the blame. I am not going to blame my coach because I froze up or looked like a deer in the headlights. There are no excuses. DaVarryl screwed up. I did not do what I could do and I came back and pulled myself up by the bootstraps and we put ourselves back into the thick of things. We could not be happier about how things are. We have no idea what will happen with the Byrd fight, but we certainly feel good about it. We just like the opportunity and the possibilities of this huge fight.
Question: What is your wife's name, DaVarryl?
Williamson: My wife is Shalisa. My son is Dantel, 8 years old; my daughter's name is Alayana, 6 years old.
Question: DaVarryl, what do you have to do to win this fight?
Williamson: I have to be busy in this fight. I have to be able to outbox Chris, outbang him. I have to be able to hold my ground. I have to be able to create separation with different combinations, with body work. I have to make him always think about certain, different punches. I have to keep him one step behind. It is going to be my toughest fight to date. This is the most talented guy in the heavyweight division and he is a southpaw. I am so thankful that I have had some experiences with Chris over the years to have an assessment of what he has to offer. Those kind of things are going to have to happen in order for me to have success against Chris Byrd on October 1.
Question: Chris, since you have held the championship, has it been disappointing because you had such high expectations when you won the belt that guys would finally want to fight you and you would get the big fights and have everything that goes along with those type of fights?
Byrd: Yeah. I really believe so. To fight three times in three years is crazy. It has been disappointing to the point of sometimes you get frustrated and really just want to retire. I have been to that point, but God is faithful and I just keep plugging along. I just have to remain patient and fights will happen, but it has been disappointing.
Question: Chris, do you feel like you lost your best opportunity?
Byrd: Well, I think more than anything it has been mentally draining. With me, it is a lot of mental. I know I can get my body in the best shape possible because I am always in shape. That is one thing I pride myself on is to be in shape at all times. I get in shape really fast, really quick. I do not have to train that long when I am in training camp. But mentally, it has been a struggle. The business side of this boxing is horrible and I think it has taken my best years of boxing. If I would have been very active these past three years, with two to three fights at least a year, you would have seen some really good fights, really special skills. But I still try to present them in the ring to the best of my ability.
Question: Chris, what do you think are DaVarryl's best assets and how do you plan on countering them?
Byrd: Everyone tells me that DaVarryl has a great right hand. I have experienced it; I have sparred with him. We have great sparring sessions. I just think he is an overall really good boxer, better than people think and that is why I always told him that he was going to be in the mix in the heavyweight division and to take certain fights because he can flat out fight. Anybody with a huge amateur background, I really respect, because he has been around the world, he has traveled and seen every style you want to see and he is a complete fighter. He had one major setback a few years ago with Mesi, but since then, he has been the DaVarryl Williamson that I have thought he would be in the ring. He has become a complete fighter. He is really good technically and smart in the ring. That is one thing I see in him.
Question: Even though you are the longest reigning titlist in the heavyweight division, do you still feel that you have goals that you have yet to accomplish in boxing?
Byrd: Since I have been champion, I have really stopped setting goals because I do not see them realistically happening from the other boxers' point of view. You cannot make certain fighters fight. I will be 90 years old before I see myself unifying any kind of belt. Right now, I am just taking one fight at a time and just see what happens.
Begin Closing Comments.
Williamson: I want to thank SHOWTIME again and Chris Byrd and his family. We look forward to seeing you guys and obviously getting back to work on October 1. God bless you and thank everybody for participating in this phone conference. I need to get back to work myself.
Byrd: I would like to thank SHOWTIME for putting us on the card. It is a great opportunity for more exposure for both of us and I thank DaVarryl for being in that position, knowing him and being a good friend. We will have a good fight. Fighting in Reno I know there have been two heavyweight titles there with Jack Johnson and Larry Holmes -- and us being the third in this era of boxing. I thank the city for having us there.

Notes & Quotes from Indy
NAB/RAB Radio Show and RAIN Summit coverage by consultant Holland Cooke
INDIANAPOLIS — We're radio people. We think aloud. So gathering this many of us in one place is bound to produce plenty of sound bites. If you missed reports I filed earlier this week, here are my notes from:
* Tuesday: http://www.radioinfo.com/2014/09/10/radio-roundup-indy/
* Wednesday: http://www.talkers.com/2014/09/11/the-golden-age-of-audio-consumption/
The Radio Show wraps today. So if you couldn't be here – or if you could, and were attending different sessions concurrent to those I hit – here's more of what I heard that you also might find instructive.
The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is… Ourselves.
Jason Bailey
Sun Broadcast Group, Inc.
NEW YORK — It was another sad week for network radio as more great people: mothers, fathers, sons and daughters… dreamers of great ideas, writers of great content, communicators of the stories that shape our world, were sent to the unemployment line. Was it greed? Was it failure to evolve? Was it competition? Maybe. But in my humble opinion it was something simpler yet more devastating… Fear. Fear to be bold, fear to take risks and most important, fear to defend.
Is Moss Growing on your Website?
By Holland Cooke
Radio Consultant
BLOCK ISLAND, RI — The midday host at a station I work with asks: "Should I move from Facebook to Twitter?"
Wisely, stations and personalities are prioritizing Twitter, a darn opportune tool which listeners have adopted as-fervently as they did Facebook…and MySpace, in its day.
If you're thinking that "The Next Shiny Object" is your very own iPhone app, STOP. Save the money, for reasons I will explain on June 6 in my Talkers/New York presentation "Resourceful + Remarkable."
Hype vs. Truth
By Chris Miller
Chris Miller Digital
SHAKER HEIGHTS — Here's why it's very important for you to communicate in a scrupulously honest manner online.
Today, there's plenty of trustworthy online info at your fingertips. There's also plenty of misinformation, and a Google search may not help you sort it out. A decade ago, when the internet was a wilder and woolier place than it is now, all sorts of crap masqueraded as truth. "I know it's true; I read it on the internet!" was a sarcastic joke you'd commonly hear at the time.
Twitter Secrets Unlocked!
By Chris Miller
Chris Miller Digital
SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — I'm going to give Twitter some love, by telling you three ways to use that platform to help build your radio brand.
"Bulletin" may mean different things for different formats or situations. On Twitter, you're much less likely to get people to click on links than on Facebook. However, Twitter is a good way to rapidly send out information of some value to your fans. It might be a news or traffic headline, or when a new song will play, or when you'll play a big contest next. I've been increasing Twitter fans for one client by making their Twitter feed about one thing and one thing only, and promoting that on their Facebook page.
See, we often treat Twitter as the little sister to Facebook. It's not the same thing, and your opportunity is to make your Twitter feed clear and distinct from what you do on Facebook (or anywhere else). That's why one big way to increase the value of your Twitter activity is to make it about something in particular. Many people are already using Twitter for information updates about things they're interested in, so you'd be fitting in with their expectations.

LEOXIII-RIDDLES Jul-22-2014 (620 words) With photos. xxxi
Papal puzzler: Leo XIII anonymously published riddles in Latin
Pope Leo XIII, born in 1810, is credited with being the founder of Catholic social teaching. (CNS/Library of Congress)
By Carol Glatz
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Going by the pseudonym "X," Pope Leo XIII anonymously crafted poetic puzzles in Latin for a Roman periodical at the turn of the 19th century.
The pope created lengthy riddles, known as "charades," in Latin in which readers had to guess a rebus-like answer from two or more words that together formed the syllables of a new word.
Eight of his puzzles were published anonymously in "Vox Urbis," a Rome newspaper that was printed entirely in Latin between 1898-1913, according to an article in the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.
A reader who submitted the correct answer to the riddle would receive a book of Latin poetry written by either Pope Leo or another noted Catholic figure.
The identity of the mysterious riddle-maker, however, was soon revealed by a French reporter covering the Vatican for the daily newspaper Le Figaro.
Felix Ziegler published his scoop Jan. 9, 1899, a year after the puzzles started appearing, revealing that "Mr. X" was, in fact, the reigning pope, the Vatican newspaper said July 20.
In the pope's hometown, Carpineto Romano, which is about 35 miles southeast of Rome, students at the middle school now named for him have published 26 of the pope's Latin puzzles in a new book titled, "Aenigmata. The Charades of Pope Leo XIII."
Three middle school teachers and their pupils said they have included puzzles they found, but which had never been published before.
One example of the pope's Latin riddles talked of a "little boat nimbly dancing," that sprung a leak as it "welcomed the shore so near advancing."
"The whole your eyes have known, your pallid cheeks have shown; for oh! the swelling tide no bravest heart could hide, when your dear mother died," continues the translation of part of the riddle-poem.
The answer, "lacrima," ("teardrop") merges clues elsewhere in the poem for "lac" ("milk") and "rima" ("leak" or "fissure").
Pope Leo, who headed the universal church from 1878 to 1903, had the fourth-longest pontificate in history, after being nudged out of third place by St. John Paul II.
He wrote 86 encyclicals, including the church's groundbreaking "Rerum Novarum," which ushered in the era of Catholic social teaching.
Known for his openness to historical sciences, Pope Leo ordered in 1881 that the Vatican Secret Archives be open to researchers and he formally established the Vatican Observatory in 1891 as a visible sign of the church's centuries-old support for science.
A trained Vatican diplomat and man of culture, the pope was also a member of an exclusive society of learning founded in Rome in 1690 called the Academy of Arcadia, whose purpose was to "wage war on the bad taste" engulfing baroque Italy. Pope Leo, whose club name was "Neandro Ecateo," was the last pope to be a member of the circle of poets, artists, musicians and highly cultured aristocrats and religious.
The pope was also passionate about hunting and viniculture. Unable to leave the confines of the Vatican after Italy was unified and the papal states brought to an end in 1870, he pursued his hobbies in the Vatican Gardens.
He had a wooden blind set up to hide in while trapping birds, which he then would set free again immediately.
He also had his own small vineyard, which, according to one historical account, he tended himself, hoeing out the weeds, and visiting often for moments of prayer and writing poetry.
Apparently, one day, gunfire was heard from the pope's vineyard, triggering fears of a papal assassination attempt.
Instead, it turned out the pope had ordered a papal guard to send a salvo of bullets into the air to scare off the sparrows who were threatening his grape harvest.

Help! My saddle squeaks!
This may be caused by the rails rubbing in the seatpost clamp. Remove the saddle from the bike, lube the rails and also the seat post clamp cradle nut/bolt. The squeak may also come from the rails rubbing where they join the saddle base. This can be helped by removing the saddle, turning it upside down, and applying silicone lubricant to the rails so it can run into the holes that hold the rails. Please don't use a petroleum-based lubricant; it can damage the leather and the glue.
What's the best way to care for the leather?
Our saddles are best cared for by washing with water and a good bar soap. Wipe it with a damp cloth and air dry it. Don't use any treatments or chemicals other than water and a bar soap. Many cleaners use petroleum that will cause the glue that holds the leather to the foam to soften and loosen. They can also cause the foam to expand and distort. Note -- if you own a Brooks saddle, DO NOT clean it with water and soap. Instead, use Brooks Proofide as recommended by the manufacturer.
What's your saddle guarantee?
Ride it for 30 days. If you don't like it, return it to the place where you bought it for a refund or exchange, whichever you choose.
How long should a saddle last?
This is a tough question to answer as there are so many variables - weight of rider, riding style, care given to equipment, climate in which equipment is used, where the saddle is mounted on the rail, if the rider wears cycling shorts or ? while riding and a host of other things.
With all that said, 5,000 miles is a reasonable amount of miles to expect from a saddle. 10,000-15,000 miles is at the high end of the scale. 15,000-20,000 is looking for rail or base failure. (All of these expectations can be severely reduced by an abusive riding style, extremes in temperature and one or more of the other things listed above.)
A saddle that is "broken in" should feel "softer" than a new saddle. The base hasn't been "seated" onto the rails; the foam hasn't contoured to the rider's sitting position; the leather is still stiff.
The saddle can continue to be ridden for many more miles if:
* the cover isn't torn
* the edges of the leather cover aren't showing signs of wear through
* the foam under the leather doesn't have any "soft" spots indicating foam breakdown
* the edges around the soft tissue area aren't breaking down
How do I know the best way to adjust my saddle? I've recently purchased a new saddle and am having pain!
You can make several adjustments to make sure your saddle is adjusted properly.
Set the height of the saddle so that theres a slight bend in the knee of the leg thats at the bottom of the pedal stroke. If the saddles too high, your pelvis will rock from side to side; too low, and you wont get the best use of your leg power. Knees can take a beating from an improper saddle height as well.
The saddle should be level. Viewed from the side, the saddle shouldnt appear to be nose up or nose down. If the nose is tipped up, youll feel a crunch in the wrong spot of your anatomy! Tipped down, and youll be forever sliding toward the handlebars and bearing a lot of unnecessary weight on your arms.
Fore to aft saddle position should be set so that when a plumb line is dropped from the front of the knee of the fowardmost leg (with the crankarms in a horizontal position), it intersects the pedal spindle. This will give you the most biomechanical bang for your buck.
Your position on the bike is as important as the position of the saddle. If the bike doesnt fit properly, you may never find a truly comfortable saddle. The most common complaint we hear is that the nose of the saddle still places an undue amount of pressure on the rider, even if the saddle is adjusted properly as discussed above. If the riders reach to the handlebars is too far, the pelvis can tip forward enough to put pressure on sensitive bits. By shortening/raising the handlebar to bring the rider into a more upright position, the pelvis will rotate back enough to move the riders weight onto other areas.
If youve done all of the above, it still doesnt mean the saddle will be comfortable. (What?!?!) No kidding -- that old expression, One mans junk is another mans treasure applies to saddles, too. It might take some experimenting to find the perfect saddle. Rules are meant to be broken, so dont feel bound to any of the starting points above or to a saddle that everyone else thinks is great. Its your comfort, after all!
The cover on my saddle is coming off. Can I fix it?
We use "Goop" on some saddle covers but it requires clamping the leather with clamps until it dries - usually about 12 - 16 hours. The problem with "Goop" is that the finished product isn't very clean - it is actually "goopy".
The other glue we use is a "Lokweld H20" glue that is applied to the loose leather then left to dry for a day. Once the glue is dry, we fold the leather around the saddle base and clamp with light clamps for several hours. This gluing method leaves a better finished product but it takes more time and fuss.
What's the weight limit for saddle rails?
None of the materials have a rider weight limit! They will all work extremely well used in a normal course of riding.
Most riders have problems with bending or breaking a rail:
a) when impacting the saddle during landing after becoming airborne! The earth won't move or give so the saddle must.
This usually happens during aggressive MTB riding when the bike gets airborne, the riders foot slips off the pedal, the rider loses balance and the rider impacts the seat when the bike hits the ground.
Bent rails can even happen when road bikers "jump" a pot hole..curb..railroad tracks..and don't time the jump correctly impacting the saddle.
b) Stress riser caused by the seat post cradle: the sharp edge of the seat post cradle creates a stress riser which will eventually cause the rail to break.
As with most things that can bend or break (stems handlebars/rims/seat rails), the riders riding technique or riding circumstance when it bends or breaks has more to do with durability than the product material.
The advantages of Titanium are it is lighter and it flexes more than other materials. The advantages of Cr/Mo and/or Manganese are they are lighter and flex more than steel.
Why do some other manufacturer's women's bikes use 26" wheels?
Other manufacturers do make bicycles with fairly short top tubes using 26 wheels. Whats the trick to avoiding toe-clip overlap? First, use a steeper seat angle (75+ degrees). The steeper the seat angle, the shorter the top tube. The problem with this? Youll be too far forward of the pedals, unable to establish the proper relationship between your knee and the pedal spindle. You wont be as efficient a rider. Second, use a shallower head angle (71- degrees) and more rake (6.5+cm). The problem here is the bike will have rather sluggish handling.
Neither of these is a solution because it limits the design. Head angles, rake, and seat angles should lead a design, not follow it. Head angle and rake are chosen to achieve the desired handling of the bicycle: is it for racing, touring, or criteriums? Seat angle should be chosen to give the rider the best position on the bicycle. The 24 front wheel lets us build a bike that fits without compromise. It would be unfair to our customers to offer anything less.
Why do you use 24" front wheels on smaller bikes?
Some women specific design bicycles use 26 (650) wheels front and rear, but we use 24 in the front and 700C in the rear. A 26 wheel offers some advantages, but not the way its used by other manufacturers.
Everyone has the same goal when making a smaller bicycle for the smaller rider: make the top tube short enough! If you use a 700C front wheel, you can only shorten the top tube so much (to about 53 cm or 21 before the front wheel overlaps with the pedal, the dreaded toe-clip overlap. A 26 road tire is about 2cm smaller in radius than a 700C tire, so you can shorten the top tube just about as much (to 51cm) before there is overlap. A 24 road tire is about 5cm smaller in radius than a 700C tire, so the top tube can be as short as 48cm with no overlap. We use 24 in the front on our smaller road bikes (48.3cm and under) so we can have more latitude for good design. The 700C rear wheel gives you equivalent gearing.
Why a bicycle specifically for women?
A womans body is not proportioned like mans. Not only is the length of her limbs different, so is the amount of muscle and the distribution of body mass. In fact, anthropomorphic studies show women to have roughly half the upper body strength that men do as a result of our shorter torso, fewer and smaller muscles fibers and additional body fat. What that translates to is a lower ratio of strength to weight and a disadvantage when it comes to comfort and performance - most bikes have top tube lengths that are appropriate for men but require a woman to sustain more force in her shoulders. For a man and woman of the same height, she will be more comfortable on a bicycle with a shorter top tube.
Is it true that a bicycle with a small front wheel is "squirrely"?
The handling shouldn't feel too fast as long as the bike is designed properly. The handling of a bike is affected as much by wheel size as by fork rake and by the head angle of the bicycle. If you put a 24" wheel on a bike designed for a 700C wheel, the handling would feel funny. Our bikes are designed for neutral steering; i.e., not too fast, not too slow.
Another way of looking at this is to realize that wheel size is not hallowed. What if the average woman was 1" tall instead of 5' 4" tall? Her bike would be very small, with a tiny wheel, but would it handle differently?
If you've ridden a bike that's too big for a while and then you ride a bike that fits properly, it may feel quick in
comparison. This sensation will disappear as you ride more.
How much clearance should I have over the top tube?
Proper clearance over the top tube is the most important aspect of fit, and the one measurement thats vital for determining your size is your inseam. Measure the distance from the floor to your crotch with your cycling shoes on. Stand straight, with your feet about six inches apart. Its a difficult measurement to take by yourself, so enlist a friends help. Youll want to clear the top tube on road bikes by 3/4 to 1 1/4 and by 2 to 4 on hybrid or mountain bikes. Compare your inseam measurement to our published standover heights to find your size. The standover height is the distance from the floor to the top of the bicycless top tube.
What do you need to know to recommend a bike that will fit me?
First, the type of bike you want -- road or hybrid; then, your height and your inseam (measured floor to crotch). We'll make sure your legs and your upper body are proportioned correctly for our bikes. The question about clearance over the top tube will give you a guideline to the proper size Terry. Your height will tell us if the stem length on our bikes is appropriate or if you'll need something different.
Will a bike with a 24" wheel handle differently?
It shouldn't. Bike handling is determined by the size of the front wheel, the fork rake, and the head angle of the bicycle. If you put a 24" wheel on a bike designed for a 700C wheel, you'll probably feel the handling change. Our bikes are designed for neutral steering.
Another way of looking at this is to realize that wheel size is not hallowed. What if the average woman were only 1" tall? She'd be riding a very small bike with a very tiny wheel. But there's no reason her bike would handle any differently than ours.
If you've ridden a bike that's too large for you for a long time and you start riding a bike that fits properly, it may feel funny at first. Chances are this feeling will go away and your old bike will feel awkward when you ride it again. It's not the front wheel.

Hawks apparently in no rush to trade Jamal Crawford. Nor should they be.
Sep 1, 2010, 12:27 PM EDT
So we've heard that Jamal Crawford wants to be extended or traded. Or extended and traded. Whatever works. So long as he gets some money before the new CBA kicks in.
Well, looks like the long-term money is going to Al Horford, but that doesn't mean the Hawks are in any rush to trade Crawford, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Michael Cunningham.
As for Jamal's value on the trade market, I'm told at least three teams inquired about his availability before the pay-me-or-trade-me news came out but were rebuffed by the Hawks. I've got to think Sund will try to re-establish those talks now and listen to any other offers that come in. I know there's some sentiment to just deny Jamal the extension and have him report to camp (and he would), but would it be a good look for the Hawks to have an unhappy camper?
Sund should put up with an unhappy camper if it means waiting until he gets a deal he likes for Crawford. There is value for other teams in a guy that can score and is a $10 million expiring contract (or, someone they can extend). As teams move through camp and into the season, as the trading deadline gets closer, those deals likely will improve.
There are options. (And by the way, the terrible idea floated in Dime Magazine that gained some twitter traction of Atlanta signing Allen Iverson is not one of them, that might be the best way to ruin this team fast). Sund is right to be patient, the market will come to him.
- SSL - Sep 1, 2010 at 2:49 PM
Iverson wouldn't be a bad idea if he's sincere in his announcement that he's fine with being a bench player. This isn't Marbury or McGrady. Iverson still has some game left and he's a smart basketball player. If he's fine with being a bench player then there's no issue with Iverson that I can see. He can't shoot the 3 like Crawford but he'll provide the same amount of production off the bench. Lockerroom wise the guy did a great job in Philadelphia last year according to the GM, coach, players, etc. Do your homework Kurt. Iverson is not going to turn a team into a contender but he's not going to doom anyone.
He's not a perfect player or a real "Answer" but what team did he ruin? Took Philly to the Finals, took Denver to their first 50 win season in 20 years, He complained and whined in Memphis and Detroit but those teams were doomed with him or without him. He left Memphis after 3 games in November. How did he cause their collapse in April? He is not an allstar calibur player anymore, but he's still better than most bench players.
- joe - Sep 1, 2010 at 5:15 PM
we'll take iverson here in the atl! please. maybe we'll have a full arena for once!!
- Marv - Sep 5, 2010 at 9:44 AM
Iverson would be a good move. With the additions other teams made Atlanta could drop to 7th or 8th place in the playoff race. Either way you look at it they can not even come close to competing with Chicago, Miami, Boston, Orlando, or Even NY if they add another solid player with Amare ie. Melo/ Iverson. If you think Bibby is better than AI you are out of your mind!!!

Re: Bob Perry's take on Wolfenzee's dream boat

Jeff, while I agree with your premise (that a well-design boat from a lucky or talented designer does not have to change balance when heeled) I totally disagree with your ice cream cone analogy.
The analogy should be to a cheese wedge, a slice of cake, or something similar and NOT something with the symmetry of an ice cream cone. The effect of balance and rotation on a symmetrical body like an ice cream cone, will be totally unlike that on a "wedge" like a boat.
And when all else is said and done, a well balanced hull, one that stays in balance in a wide range of conditions including heel, is still as much a gift from the g-ds as it is the work of any designer. Even Bob has said, once upon a time, that he was pleasantly amazed at how well some boats balanced.
I chose to use a cone for my explanation because a cone is very easy to visualize as it rotates and because the reason that a cone remains in trim, i.e. that the buoyancy distribution remains the same, is actually the very same reason that a well modeled beamy boat would remain in trim as it heels.
That said, neither rotating a wedge shaped slab or a cone would behave precisely the same as beamy boat being rotated, but the cone actually behaves closer and uses the same principles. The point that I was trying to make is that by tweaking the rocker, bilge radius, and curvature of the topside in plan and section, a skilled designer can keep the trim essentially the same by keeping the buoyancy the same.
I also respectfully disagree with your comment," a well balanced hull, one that stays in balance in a wide range of conditions including heel, is still as much a gift from the g-ds as it is the work of any designer." I would echo what Bob says above about an experienced designer being able to eyeball and get things close to right the very first time. I am not a professional by a long shot. If there are shortfalls in the drawings within this thread, they come from my limitations as an amateur, operator error, and the limitations of the 2D software that I am drawing with. The fact that they are not a whole lot worse is because Bob is doing his best to keep my out of trouble.
One of the things that I have learned in this process is how quickly Bob can simply look at drawing and spot items that are out of wack even a small amount. When I have calculated some of these items I have been amazed at the precision of his experienced eyeballing.
But back to your comment, the better yacht design houses who are working with these super wide boats, have done enough of these that they too are coming to each design with an eye for what approximately works from the very first draft.
But professional yacht designers also have the benefit of very sophisticated 3D programs which can quickly calculate changes in trim at any heel angle almost on the fly. This allows the designer to tweak the shape of the topsides and bottom to keep the boat in trim as she heels and check their work as they go.
When a designer pushes a design towards the outer limits of conventional design, they become increasingly depended on have great computational tools to check their work rather than relying on luck. But even here, it is the skill of the designer that understands how much of these calculated results really can be relied on.
To me it comes down to my Olin Stephen's quote above about towing tanks, which essentially was that it still requires a skilled designer to design the model that gets towed. For all of the modern tools to validate and take some of the luck out of the equation, the reality is that it still takes a skilled designer with a good eye, to know what to put in the computer.

Both Gov. Pat Quinn and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias earned the endorsements of Citizen Action/Illinois,
one of the state's largest public interest organizations. The group's
state PAC also voted to support Robin Kelly for state treasurer and
David Miller for state comptroller. Their full state slate is available
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias ripped his GOP rival Mark Kirk for failing to vote in favor of extending unemployment benefits in the U.S. House.
While a federal judge has ruled that Illinois must hold a special
election to fill for eight weeks the U.S. Senate seat now held by
Roland Burris, the details of the election have not been explained
to voters or worked out among court and election officials. Meanwhile,
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias said Sunday he's not sure if he would run in the special election.
The Tribune has found that Rep. Mark Kirk embellished details about the boating accident that he says inspired him to pursue a career in public service.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals entered a ruling today upholding a June decision
that could result in Illinoisans having to vote in two U.S. Senate
races on Nov. 2. The special election would fill, for eight weeks, the
Senate seat currently held by Roland Burris.
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias unveiled a series of ethics proposals yesterday, including a lifetime ban that would prevent former members of Congress from lobbying.
President Barack Obama is scheduled to attend a fundraisier for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias in Chicago on Aug. 5.
GOP Senate hopeful Mark Kirk's Northbrook office got busy yesterday when advocacy groups and unemployed workers from the Chicagoland area showed up to voice their frustration with his vote against a federal unemployment benefit extension.
It's been 57 days since GOP Senate hopeful Mark Kirk -- a WLS standby -- has appeared on the Don Wade & Roma morning show.

Excellent unit right on a beach. Without a problem housed 2 adults and 2 kids. Unit is very clean, 2 TVs. Kitchen was fully equipped--we were able to cook our meals and hardly ever ate out. Supermarket is 2 minutes away. 3 full size pools, kiddie pool, and 2 hot tubs on the property.
My husband and I were looking for a reasonable place to stay in the Myrtle Beach area and really lucked out by finding this place. The pricing was extremely reasonable and the owners and their cleaning staff made checking in a breeze. The condo has a great balcony deck over one of the resort pools that faces the ocean. Coffee on the deck as the sun came up over the water was an amazing way to start our day before heading out to play golf nearby. We rented bikes to get around, there are many great restaurants/bars that might be a bit far when walking but perfect for biking. The kitchen set up was great, we had everything we needed to cook well when we chose to stay in. We feel that we got what we paid for and then some. This place was perfect and the owners were super nice and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
The owners were excellent to deal with, they always responded to you immediately with any questions or concerns.
The beachfront suite was very clean and well stocked as described.The view of the beach was wonderful.The beach area was clean and not very crowded. The outdoor Pool was amazing, very warm.. The parking garage was very secure and just across the street.We would recommend this property to our friends. We attended the Taste of the Town with over 50 restaurants participating.But would recommend you calling ahead to see if the restaurant you select is open during off season we found some were only open certain days of the week.We found some lovely antique stores in the area and an antique show we were able to attend. Just a lovely very relaxing vacation, with a lovely suite that had wifi, movies etc. We felt the owners treated us like family and were very gracious and sweet.
My husband and I stayed June 28 - July 5, 2014 to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
The unit was exactly as pictured. Very clean and close to many interesting attractions,The Boardwalk and Promenade, Broadway At The Beach, it is located right on the Myrtle Beach strip and most importantly it was beach front!!
The owner Dora was great to work with as we set up our trip and when we arrived Alexis was very sweet an patient making sure we had all we needed for the week long stay. The connection for the On Demand TV could be better, it stops and re-loads a lot during tv shows and movies, but we were not in the unit watching TV very much just for part of the one rainy day!!
It is someplace I would like to visit again and have recommended this unit to others.
This was a great place, we had everything we needed and the location was perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or a better vacation :)

miguel_es I have been 3 days. At the beginnig we have a confusion about the accommodation, but the manager was very polite and fix the problem very quick. I think they could improve some things like that the rooms are not completly isolated from noise. As well I think they should control more the night security, because I have found the guy sleeping whilst I get to my room. Perfect location If you like to pass some days at Patong beach or hanging around Bangla Street. Nice thai food. As the most hotels in Thailand, they must improve the wifi conection.
kyliesyme A really lovely hostel which is really close to the shopping centre and Patong Beach. Patong is a few minutes walk but is really easy. The shopping centre obviously has everything you could possibly need, a host of restraunts, shops and movie theatres. There is a local market across the street as well as the fresh food market next door (but far enough away not to smell!) They clean your room everyday which is nice, we had a tv and a huge fridge with our own bathroom as well so it was just like a hotel. There isnt internet, but it is easy enough to find, and no kitchen but food is everywhere nearby. The lady at the front desk is extremely helpful and polite. Great location, great friendly staff and excellent value for money.
mastergall People could simply not be more helpful, they were wonderful. Rooms were clean and inexpensive and location was right on the beach. What more could you ask for.
178/16-17 Pungmuang Saikoe RoadVery Good 77%
soi banzhan 74/29 Nanai Road Phuket, 83150Good 74%
stig_halsk Very good value for money furthered by the very helpful and friendly owner/manager Andrew and his assistant, manning the front desk that dubs as travel agency. Although I did not use any travel and tour services, a professional "in-house" travel agency is convenient and it was quite busy during my stay. Lovelii Guesthouse is located very centrally in Patong, 10 minutes to the beach through Bangla Road, behind Jung Ceylon Shopping Center; that is on a side street - soi - which is packed with all kinds of food carts from early evening onwards. My room was facing the soi and was somewhat noisy during the day and the early evening hours; Andrew kindly offered to change my room when another became free, but I did not find the problem big as I only had to stay for four nights - however, at a longer stay I would request a room at the back (on the other hand, it is next to impossible to find a centrally located guesthouse in Patong which is not affected by the very busy town). There is no restaurant attached to Lovelii Guesthouse but it is next door to a fully stocked 7Eleven.
pcmarty It was a very nice place to stay. Very clean, nice helpful staff, and nice view from the rooftop. Maybe a little bit far from the beach, but for the price I paid, I did not mind walking 15-20 minutes.

badok245 Everythings good. No complain. Nice Room Clean and quiet surrounding free wi-fi Economical Stayed for 5days "About Hotel Sole Hotel Sole is a new hotel in a strategic position close to the main points of interest such as: Bangla road (the centre of nightlife) only 5 minutes walking! Jungceylon (the biggest commercial centre with all features) only 3 minutes walking!" ... it is true indeed. Well done! Except for location address not very clear. Got to quote nearby 'hotel's name' to get back to the hotel by tuk-tuk or travel agency. Recommend: get the hotel to provide transport for airport transfer, as most drivers do not know how to reach the hotel.. Thank travellerspoint. Dell Mustafa, Singapore 510245.

search-based applications (SBAs)
Search-based applications (SBAs) are applications that use a search engine platform as the backbone to access information residing in various file types.
Looking for something else?
A search-based application (SBA) is a software program built upon a platform that's capable of decoupling data from its original source. Unlike traditional software applications that can only query content in a database, an SBA can query disparate structured, semi-structured and unstructured content sources and return the results of the query in a single, unified view.
Download: IT Acronyms - A Quick Reference Guide
Download this free quick reference guide with over 3,000 IT acronyms; including a special section of the top 15 acronyms you need to know today.
Here is an example of how an SBA might be useful: An entrepreneur might use SBA portal software to create a website that allows visitors to search for an apartment. To add value, the portal assembles a full range of real estate options and price ranges. To achieve this, the search-based application queries content on apartments from multiple real estate sources, using semantic analysis to normalize the data from different sources. The application may also query geographic data sources to calculate the distances from each apartment to key points of interests such as schools, parks or transportation hubs.
In the enterprise, search-based applications can help employees take advantage of data that's available behind the firewall and on the Internet and make informed business decisions in real time, without needing to wait for another department to run a report. Among other things, SBAs can help with:
- Information retrieval and management
- Customer service and support
- Sales account management
- E-discovery
- Product innovation
