Thread: Carriker Back to DE?
-01-02-2008 #1Milan Guest
Carriker Back to DE?
We have La'Roi Glover and Clifton Ryan at DT who are pretty capable of playing the position and Carriker can play RE alongside Little who'll play LE.
The only issues I can see is how long La'Roi will be in the league and if he can play almost every down.
-01-02-2008 #2
Re: Carriker Back to DE?
No, keep Carriker at DT. Glover is not an every down player, and Carriker has the size and run defending ability you want inside.
-01-02-2008 #3
Re: Carriker Back to DE?
And the only way i see Carriker at DE is if the Rams switch to a 3-4. But that would be a tough front 3 with Carriker and Chris Long(if they draft him) at end with Ryan on the nose.

Re: Carriker Back to DE?
I don't expect Glover back either. I think he's had a decent career but it looks like it's over.
-01-02-2008 #5Tony Soprano Guest
Re: Carriker Back to DE?
There's no way Carriker should be at Nose Tackle. Def Tackle - Good. Nose Tacke - NO.
Nose Tackle is a waste of his abilities and he's too tall for that.
I don't think the Jury is out in any way - keep him away from the Nose tackle spot.

Re: Carriker Back to DE?
Regardless of how good Glover is, he's way up there in age. If he comes back next season, he'll be gone after the next. He did this Defense a great favor, but he's getting up there in age, he cannot play every down, but when he did, it was usually a good effort by him.
If it comes down to it, just switch our Glover and the back up everyonce in a while. Who ever the back up may be (Long or Ryan) it'll be a hard hitting player who has talent.

26. Picture of Portuguese Man of War Sting
The sting of the Portuguese man-of-war. One of the most painful effects on skin is the consequence of attack by oceanic hydrozoans known as Portuguese men-of-war, which are amazing for their size, brilliant color, and power to induce whealing. They have a small float that buoys them up and from which hang long tentacles. The wrap of these tentacles results in linear stripes, which look like whiplashes, caused not by the force of their swing but from deposition of urticariogenic and irritant substances.

The female menstrual cycle does not influence testosterone concentrations in male partners

The time of ovulation has since long been believed to be concealed to male heterosexual partners. Recent studies have, however, called for revision of this notion. For example, male testosterone concentrations have been shown to increase in response to olfactory ovulation cues, which could be biologically relevant by increasing sexual drive and aggressiveness. However, this phenomenon has not previously been investigated in real-life human settings. We therefore thought it of interest to test the hypothesis that males' salivary testosterone concentrations are influenced by phases of their female partners' menstrual cycle; expecting a testosterone peak at ovulation.
Thirty young, healthy, heterosexual couples were recruited. During the course of 30-40 days, the women registered menses and ovulation, while the men registered sexual activity, physical exercise, alcohol intake and illness (confounders), and obtained daily saliva samples for testosterone measurements. All data, including the registered confounders, were subjected to multiple regression analysis.
In contrast to the hypothesis, the ovulation did not affect the testosterone levels, and the resulting testosterone profile during the menstrual cycle was on the average flat. The specific main hypothesis, that male testosterone levels on the day of ovulation would be higher than day 4 of the cycle, was clearly contradicted by a type II error(β)-analysis (< 14.3% difference in normalized testosterone concentration; β = 0.05).
Even though an ovulation-related salivary testosterone peak was observed in individual cases, no significant effect was found on a group level.
Testosterone is by far the most potent naturally occurring androgen [1], and has over the years attracted considerable research efforts, e.g. for its behavioral and developmental effects [2] and its implications in aging [3, 4]. The concentrations of testosterone are influenced by several factors, including endogenous cycling patterns such as a circadian cyclicity, rendering peak levels in the morning and nadir levels during the night [1], and the circannual variation with a peak in summer and a valley in winter/early spring [5, 6]. Other infradian testosterone cycles between 6 and 33 days of lengths have also been proposed, as yet with limited support in scientific studies [7–12].
A number of exogenous factors, such as lacrimal secretions, can influence the male testosterone concentrations [13], possibly reflecting pheromonal effects. It has further been demonstrated that sniffing a t-shirt that had been worn by an ovulating female caused a smaller reduction in testosterone levels than did smelling a t-shirt from a non-ovulating woman, suggesting that menstrual cycle-related factors affect the male's testosterone concentrations in experimental settings [14]. Moreover, several animal studies have shown that the male testosterone concentrations are affected by the female hormone cycle, for example that stumptailed macaques exhibited elevated testosterone concentrations in response to follicular phase secretions [15]. It is also generally accepted that women living together synchronize their menstrual cycles [16, 17]. Taken together, the existing literature implies that male testosterone concentrations could be influenced by the female menstrual cycle, but to the best of our knowledge, this hypothesis has hitherto not been directly tested in real-life human settings.
The hypothesis tested in the present work was that male salivary testosterone concentrations are affected by the respective female's menstrual cycle, so that two peaks are produced over the month; the first peak was expected during ovulation (main hypothesis) and the second peak in the mid-luteal phase (secondary hypothesis). This was tested by daily saliva testosterone samples from 30 young, healthy males, with concurrent registration of partner menstrual cycle data and control for confounders (masturbation, intercourse, physical exercise, alcohol consumption, illness and absence from partner overnight).
In the multiple analysis including all sampling days, none of the registered confounders (masturbation, intercourse, physical activity, alcohol consumption, illness or absence from partner overnight) were found to significantly affect the testosterone concentrations (p > 0.05).
Population characteristics
Age [years]
Average salivary testosterone concentration [pg/mL]
Masturbation frequency [per 30-day month]
Intercourse frequency [per 30-day month]
Physical exercise frequency [per 30-day month]
Alcohol intake frequency [per 30-day month]
Age [years]
Cycle length [days]
In contrast to the original hypothesis our results showed that the normalized testosterone concentrations on day 4 differed less than 14.3% (β = 0.05) from the concentrations on the day of ovulation. Even though individual males' testosterone concentrations fluctuated considerably, the accumulated result of all males rendered a flat testosterone-menstrual cycle curve (Figure 3). The high power of the study indicates that the results are strongly negative.
Even though human ovulation since long been considered concealed to the male partner [19], recent evidence has indicated that males may react to ovulatory stimuli. This includes studies that have demonstrated that males perceive near-ovulation odors as more pleasant than odors from women far from ovulation [20, 21]. Further, the aforementioned pilot study in our lab indicated that the testosterone levels and acne of one male was associated to his wife's menstrual cycle (Figure 1). However, in contrast to these earlier results, the current study clearly indicates that the effect on males' testosterone levels by their female partners' ovulation in a real-life situation, on a group level, is at best minute. This does however not conclude that such an effect does not exist under any individual circumstances. It is possible that women differ in their capacity of emitting odorant ovulation cues or that men differ in the perception of these. Actually, 11 of the 29 included males in the current study had peaks (defined as the highest or second highest concentration) cycle day 13 to 15, however low concentrations of other males these days counterbalanced the mean concentrations. However, since such subgroup analyses were not planned in the original design, these observations should be assessed with caution.
The aforementioned article by Miller and Maner suggested that there was an effect on the male's testosterone levels by female ovulation odors, but the statistical evidence was actually weak. Males were allowed to sniff t-shirts worn by females near or far in time from ovulation, and even though the average testosterone levels seemed to decrease by both types of t-shirts, the decrease was smaller from sniffing the ovulation t-shirts [14]. In the second, most well-designed part of that study, the difference between ovulation t-shirts and non-ovulations t-shirts was merely that non-ovulation t-shirts were the only ones that significantly lowered the male testosterone concentrations. Strictly, no statistically significant difference was found between the ovulation t-shirts and non-ovulation t-shirts. This second part of the study was based on t-shirts from 11 women, and it could be speculated that inter-individual differences in these women's ability to emit ovulation odors may have weakened the observed phenomenon [14]. The clear effect in our own (based on one woman) pilot studies in contrast to the main study results further corroborates the notion that inter-individual differences may be an important confounder in studies of this phenomenon. Possibly the inter-individual variability is one of the components of partner compatibility. It has in several studies been demonstrated that body odor affects the choice of partner, and odor preference could theoretically also influence the impact of female ovulation on the male testosterone concentrations [22]. Another possible explanation to the discordant results is that the participating males may have been affected by body odors from other females than their partners, however, the present study design has not enabled us to study this factor.
It is also questionable whether our original hypothesis for the current study was correctly stated, or if e.g. other days than day 4 versus ovulation day should be the main comparison. However, the overall result as presented in Figure 3 is that the testosterone levels over the month are devoid of peaks, suggesting that the result would have been negative irrespective of the points chosen.
The design of the current study has attempted to control for and register all known influencing factors by a careful inclusion process, relatively large number of participants, pairwise design and control for confounders. Concerning the specific testosterone analysis, the well-reputed Salimetrics material was not only used for the biochemical analysis, but also for sampling, and to minimize pipetting errors a robot was used during the analysis, further adding to the reliability of the method. Increased precision in the assessment of daily testosterone concentrations could have been obtained by asking the participants to take several samples during an extended time-period every morning. This would however have made the study extremely demanding for the participants in exchange for a relatively small gain that most probably would not have affected the final conclusions.
Analyses regarding the effects of weather on testosterone concentrations, differences between the 11 couples having peaks days 13 to 15 and the other couples and correlation analysis between sexual intercourse frequency and masturbation frequency were also performed. However, since these aspects were not included in the original design, they are only briefly mentioned below, and not presented as parts of the Results. The weather parameters temperature, barometric pressure and air humidity were tested for correlation (Pearson's correlation) against male salivary testosterone concentrations, however no such relation was found (p = 0.14, 0.15 and 0.40 respectively). The 11 couples that potentially displayed testosterone peaks during ovulation neither differed in sexual frequency (p = 0.97), masturbation frequency (p = 0.63) nor age (p = 0.84) in comparison to the rest of the couples (Student's t-test). Concerning the relation between masturbation frequency and intercourse frequency, there was a significant negative correlation between the two parameters (r = -0.43, p = 0.021).
Even though individual males' testosterone concentrations possibly can be affected by their respective female partner's menstrual cycle, this effect is very small or non-existing on a group level.
Young, healthy volunteers were recruited by posters and flyers on the university campuses in Linköping and Jönköping, Sweden. The posters and flyers specified that the participants must live together in a heterosexual relation, be 18-50 years of age and must not use hormonal contraceptives. After the participants contacted the research team, they were provided more detailed information about the study and were asked to answer an electronic inclusion/exclusion questionnaire. The information letter stated that the trial concerned how testosterone concentrations were affected by different social conditions, but the main hypothesis was not disclosed to the participants during the entire study.
The final selection of participants was made on the basis of the questionnaires, aiming to recruit a healthy and fertile group in which the hypothesized phenomenon was thought to be most likely to occur.
Inclusion criteria:
Couple living together in a heterosexual relationship
Premenopausal, and at least 18 years old
Available during the study period
Exclusion criteria:
Current or recent use of hormone-containing contraceptives
Other fertile females living together with the participating couple
Previous gonadectomy
Consumption of drugs that could alter the sex hormone system
Consumption of narcotics (anabolic steroids were specifically asked for in the questionnaire)
Disease that could affect the sex hormone system, social interaction or olfaction
Planned absence from the partner during the trial
Planned intensive physical exercise period (e.g. for an upcoming competition)
Pregnancy or planned pregnancy during the time of the trial
Of 73 couples initially signing up as volunteers, 48 adequately answered the questionnaires, of which 30 were included (Figure 2).
For the effort associated with participating in the study, each participant received the SEK equivalent of €150.
Before initiation of participant recruitment, the study protocol was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board of Linköping University (2010/407-31).
Sampling for each participating couple started at a random time-point in the menstrual cycle, and proceeded five days longer than the duration of the female's longest menstrual cycle the previous year (from information provided in the questionnaire). Thus a female reporting a longest menstrual cycle of 30 days was asked to participate for 35 days, to make sure that at least one entire cycle was obtained. Saliva samples were taken at home the same time every morning by the participating males (Salimetrics oral swab, Item No. 5001.05 and Swab storage tube, Item No. 5001.02, Salimetrics Europe, Suffolk, UK). Any temporal deviations were registered in a protocol, but to avoid such errors all male participants were offered to receive a text message reminder on their cellular phones the same time every morning. The saliva samples were immediately put in a plastic bag and stored in the home freezer until the end of the sampling period. After the sampling period, all samples were collected by the research team, and stored in -20°C until analysis.
In earlier studies, large quantities of alcohol [23], intense physical exercise [1], sexual activity [24, 25] and illness [26] have been reported to influence testosterone levels. To control for these factors, all males received protocols in which they were instructed to record time of sexual activity (both masturbation and intercourse), physical activity, alcohol consumption, illness (defined as infection rendering fever or other illness warranting hospital visit) and absence from partner overnight. The females received protocols in which they were instructed to record first day of the menstrual cycle and day of ovulation. For detection of ovulation, hCG-tests for home use were provided (Wondfo hCG Urine Test, Cat. No. W1 - MII, Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech Co, Guangzhou, China). Right before the start of the trial, each couple met with one of the persons in the research team for detailed practical instructions and dialog.
All samples were centrifuged for 15 minutes at 1500 g and analyzed by a salivary testosterone enzyme immunoassay (Item No. 1-2402, Salimetrics Europe, Suffolk, UK) using an analysis robot (Nexgen Four, Adaltis, Rome, Italy). This analysis kit has previously been thoroughly tested rendering intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation of 3.3-6.7% and 5.1-9.6%, respectively [27].
The experimenter performing the analysis was blinded to the participants' menstrual cycle data, and since the samplings had started in random time-points in the cycle, the tests' analysis plate distribution was random.
The main comparison (prior to data collection) was selected to be between cycle day 14 (ovulation day) and day 4 of the cycle. These time-points were partially based on the aforementioned pilot study. In order to observe a 50% increase in testosterone levels between day 4 and 14, with a standard deviation of 40%, and a power of 0.99, a sample size of 25 pairs was needed (using unpaired power calculation and data from a previous study [12]).
All data were adapted to a theoretical 28-day cycle, defined by the initiation of menses on day 1 and ovulation on day 14 (defined as the day after a positive ovulation test). The other days of the menstrual cycle were defined by the closest of these two definition points. Hence, in women who had cycles longer than 28 days, days that did not fit into the abovementioned algorithm were omitted.
Before analysis, each testosterone concentration was normalized by dividing by the highest concentration for every specific individual. The mean normalized salivary testosterone concentrations on days 4 and 14 (ovulation day) were compared using multiple regression, controlling for sexual activity, physical exercise, alcohol and illness on the day before the sampling. Samples that had been taken with more than 1 h delay were omitted (n = 5). If the difference between these points would not prove statistically significant, type II error(β)-analysis using pairwise power calculation was to be performed to estimate similarity.
Also, the impact of the variables sexual activity, physical exercise, alcohol, illness (the day prior to sampling) and more than 1 h delayed sampling on the normalized salivary testosterone concentrations were assessed by multiple regression in a second model including all sampling days.
All calculations were performed using Minitab (Minitab Inc., State College, PA, USA), and p-values < 0.05 were considered significant. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation throughout.
One participating female did not get a positive result on the ovulation test during the predicted period, but menses nonetheless started 14 days later. That couple was therefore excluded and omitted from all analyses.

CINCINNATI — Macy's Inc. on Wednesday reported a 4 percent increase in earnings in its fiscal second quarter as business rebounded from slow sales earlier in the year.
But Macy's cut its outlook for a key sales measure saying it couldn't make up the sales shortfall in the first quarter.
The Cincinnati-based company says net incomes increased to $292 million, or 80 cents per share, from $281 million, or 72 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for profit of 86 cents per share.
The company said revenue rose 3.3 percent to $6.27 billion from $6.07 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, but missed Wall Street forecasts. Analysts expected $6.29 billion, according to Zacks.
The company said that sales at stores open at least a year rose 3.4 percent.

How to Spot an Investment Con (So You Don't Fall for the Next Madoff)
Just because Bernie Madoff will spend the rest of his life in jail doesn't mean that we're safe from investment cons. Here's how to recognize the next Ponzi schemer you meet.
Just because Bernie Madoff will spend the rest of his life in jail doesn't mean that we're safe from investment cons. Here's how to recognize the next Ponzi schemer you meet.
Regulators plan to fault JPMorgan Chase, which served as Bernie Madoff's main bank for two decades, for failing to report suspicious activity, a source says.
In a jailhouse interview with the New York Times, Madoff pointed to a failure by banks and hedge funds to investigate when his filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission didn't jibe with information that they could have obtained.
Mark Madoff may be dead, but the litigation against him isn%u2019t going away. Last week, a court-appointed trustee sued Mark Madoff along with two of his siblings, saying they had used ill-gotten gains from their father%u2019s fraud.
Irving Picard, the trustee trying to recover money on behalf of the victims of Bernie Madoff, said he filed lawsuits against seven global banks seeking total compensation of more than $1 billion. Picard filed complaints against Citibank (C), Natixis SA, Fortis, ABN AMRO Bank, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, Nomura and Merrill Lynch, which is now part of Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Reuters reported.
Irving Picard, the trustee charged with recovering assets on behalf of Bernie Madoff%u2019s victims, sued the owner of The New York Mets. The suit against Sterling Equities, a real-estate developer, was sealed as the parties are currently in negotiations, CNN said. The suit was filed in U.S. bankruptcy court in New York.
Irving Picard, trustee for the victims of the Madoff fraud, has a new target - other Madoff clients. Picard has filed lawsuits against hundreds of defendants saying they profited from Madoff's giant Ponzi scheme, withdrawing more than they invested, CNN reported. He's seeking damages on behalf of those who lost money on their investments.
A court-appointed trustee is suing JPMorgan Chase for its alleged involvement in Bernard Madoff's multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.
On Sunday, money manager Stanley Chais died at age 84, still under investigation for his involvement with Bernard Madoff. Chais channeled large amounts of investors' money to the now-notorious Ponzi schemer, and over the years extracted more than $1 billion from Madoff's fund.
A court-appointed trustee filed three new lawsuits against Bernie Madoff's family and family businesses in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
A court-appointed trustee charged with recovering money for the victims of Bernard Madoff is preparing a series of lawsuits to win back money from investors who gained financially from their association with Madoff. Irving Picard told The Wall Street Journal he may sue a total of about 1,000 individual investors who withdrew more money from Madoff%u2019s firm that they invested.
Madoff Trustee Files Suit Against 'Feeder Funds'
Some of Bernard Madoff's former clients got bad news on Monday after a judge decided many aren't eligible for compensation for their losses. The ruling, which seems likely to be appealed, endorsed a controversial method that would favor compensating individuals who received less money than they deposited into Madoff accounts.
A close associate of Bernie Madoff, awaiting his sentencing, has put his New Jersey mansion up for sale to help compensate the victims. But the judge and the trustee on the case are struggling with prosecutors to determine who gets what, and how much.

Newly steeled after competing in the Onondaga High School League tournament that it hosted on Oct. 12, the Skaneateles girls swim team still had some regular-season work to do.
That included last Wednesday night's meet against Mexico, where the Lakers led from start to finish and put away the Tigers by a score of 96-85.
In the opening 200 medley relay, Skaneateles prevailed as Haley Buchholz, Nikki Cole, Leah King and Emily Wirth finished in a time of 2:06.98.
Three of them would go on to win their own races. King was first in the 100 butterfly in 1:10.07, while Buchholz needed 1:10.55 to prevail in the 100 backstroke and Cole, in 1:15.50, earned a victory in the 100 breaststroke.
By then, Rachel Teixeira was already a two-time winner. Teixeira swam the 200 freestyle in 2:10.35, and followed it up by beating the field in the 500 freestyle in 5:47.75. Megan Molnar added a diving title with 152.95 points.
In Friday's meet at Oswego, the Lakers got two titles from Cole, but still found itself on the wrong end of a 96-84 defeat to the Buccaneers.
Cole first struck in the 200 medley relay, helping Buchholz, King and Wirth as the Lakers' time in that event improved to 2:02.38, enough to fend off Oswego (2:02.41) by inches.
Later, Cole would control the 100 butterfly, beating the field in a time of 1:07.52, and she went on to the 100 breaststroke, where she claimed first place in 1:16.45. Buchholz earned a title in the 100 backstroke in 1:10.07.
Meanwhle, Teixeira improved more than five seconds, to 5:42.02, in the 500 freestyle, but still was second to the Bucs' Brenna Riley (5:34.74) as Ellen Legg took second (2:39.32) in the 200 individual medley.
Legg, Leah King, Halle King and Rachel Ceparski were second (1:54.90) to Oswego (1:49.85) in the 200 freestyle relay, but rebounded in the 400 freestyle relay as Buchholz, Cole, Teixeira and Haley Chalupnicki prevailed in 4:05.45.
All of this followed the OHSL diving championships on Oct. 13, where Megan Molnar finished in fifth place with 259.45 points, with Ellie Meyer (105.90 points) and Tara Chalupnicki (72.70 points) behind them. Jamesville-DeWitt's Taylor Cook won with 379.45 points.

Ted and Aimee at MHOW in 2012 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
The Both, aka the collaborative project of Ted Leo and Aimee Mann, will be playing more shows for 2014, and though we haven't seen a full tour announcement yet, we know they'll be in NYC on April 29 at Bowery Ballroom and May 1 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for those shows go on sale Friday (1/24) at noon.
As you may know, Tom Scharpling's The Best Show on WFMU signed off for good at the end of 2013. On the penultimate show (12/10), Ted and Aimee made an appearance, singing a Best Show tribute song which you can download above or stream below. Also below is a playlist Ted made in December with that song and 16 others that he's "done on/for The Best Show."
And lastly, below you can watch a full set video of The Both's show at The Bell House from this past September...

Julie Klausner sang 'Jesus Christ Superstar' songs w/ Ted Leo & Triumph at Bell House, doing 5 nights at Joe's Pub
Jesus is just all right with them: Triumph & Klausner @ Bell House (via @kieshak)
Julie Klausner did a live taping of her How Was Your Week? podcast last night (10/30) at The Bell House and guests included Ted Leo, AC Newman, Jean Grae and Leslie Kritzer (subbing for a sick Laura Benati). Among the things that happened was a live performance of songs from Jesus Christ Superstar, featuring Ted Leo as Judas and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog as King Herod. You're just gonna have to wait for the podcast to hear that.
If you missed it, you can see her soon in NYC as Julie announced a five night run (November 22 - 26) at Joe's Pub titled "TOO GAY FOR BROOKLYN: An Evening of Cabaret with Julie Klausner" where she promises to "sing some goddamn songs." Tickets are on sale now. She did it back in June, too, with guest (but maybe not surprise) appearances from Ted Leo and Bridget Everett.
In other news, on Sunday (10/27)k Julie feigned outrage on Twitter over Banksy's lastest reign of terror, a Halloween "installation" on Houston & Elizabeth which featured a Grim Reaper in a bumper car and an accordion player, plus occasionally playings of Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper." Some people, though, didn't get that her Twitter rant (including such bursts as "You know where I like my art? IN MUSEUMS. You know how I like my apartment building? FREE OF BANKSY AND THE CROWDS HE ATTRACTS") wasn't real.
And finally, Julie and her pal Ted Leo co-starred in a recent How Was Your Week? video where they (and Chris Spooner) take a class on whiskey, with predictable (and funny!) results. You can watch that below.

Julie Klausner and "honorary ginger" Ted Leo
Ted Leo and Aimee Mann played The Bell House a couple weeks ago (9/11) as The Both and now they're on tour together (playing separate sets). When Ted returns from the tour, he'll be back at The Bell House on October 30 (Mischief Night) for Julie Klausner's How Was Your Week? podcast taping. Also appearing: New Pornographer A.C. Newman, rapper Jean Grae, and actress Laura Benanti. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Ted is HWYW?'s de facto bandleader, and he and Julie perform together a lot, including recently at Bumbershoot. A couple examples of that, in video form (one with Ted in a redhead wig), are in this post.
You can catch AC Newman tonight (9/26) at Radio City Music Hall where he'll open for his sometimes bandmate Neko Case. Aimee Mann, meanwhile, can be heard on the audio book version of Danny Bland's In Case We Die.

Ted Leo at MHOW in 2012 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
We were recently informed of the terrible news that Hoboken music venue Maxwell's is closing, but on the bright side, they're going out with a bang. Local greats who have called the venue home for years are playing there in its remaining two months, including The Feelies (who play three nights), Titus Andronicus (who play three nights), and Yo La Tengo (who play as The Condo Fucks, but will hopefully announce a proper YLT show before the venue's end?).
Now it's been announced that NJ/NYC fave Ted Leo will be playing the venue on July 21 with another long-running local act Shellshag (who also play Death by Audio tonight [6/5]). Tickets for the Ted Leo show are on sale now.
It's one of a few upcoming dates that Ted has scheduled. All of those dates are listed, along with a video, below...

(The mall is open, though.) Seaport Music, the label, are putting out a compilation album titled Anchored & Amped and 100% of the sales going to Seaport area businesses impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

Nick Offerman, 'Doug Loves Movies,' Eugene Mirman, John Hodgman, Wyatt Cenac ++ more NYC comedy stuff
Offerman in 'Somebody Up There Likes Me'
Nick Offerman, who we recently interviewed, produced and stars in new comedy Somebody Up There Likes Me, which also features Keith Poulson, Jess Weixler, Stephanie Hunt, and Kevin Corrigan. The film also features a score by Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio. Here's the synopsis:
Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman stars in this deadpan comedic fable with touches of the supernatural. In possession of a magical suitcase, Max (Poulson), his best friend Sal (Offerman), and the woman they both adore stumble through 35 years of unfulfilling entanglements. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at last year's Locarno Film Festival, this "highly original and delightfully unorthodox" (The Hollywood Reporter) ensemble piece features an original score by Vampire Weekend's Chris Baio, showcases stunning animated sequences by Bob Sabiston (A Scanner Darkly), stars Will & Grace's Megan Mullaly and character actor Marshall Bell (Total Recall), and boasts cameos by indie stalwarts Andrew Bujalski, Alex Ross Perry, Kate Lyn Sheil, and others.You can watch the trailer below.
The film premieres in NYC this week at BAM Rose Cinemas (Mar 29--Apr 4).

Aimee Mann & Ted Leo (aka #BOTH) in NYC in 2012 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
When it was announced last year that Ted Leo would be touring with Aimee Mann, despite the fact that the two certainly have some things in common, it was a bit of an odd pairing, considering Aimee's long history as a generally above-the-radar artist and Ted's inherent underground-ness. (Not to mention their styles of music.) But the tour worked out great and saw Ted and Aimee really getting along on the road and collaborating on stage too. Well, now they're taking that a step further and have announced a new collaborative project called #BOTH. For the new band, they'll "be showcasing songs they have written together as well performing some of their own original material." They haven't announced an album or a full tour yet, but they have a few shows scheduled in California, which are listed below.
Though there aren't any East Coast dates scheduled at the moment, Aimee previously announced her own East Coast run which includes NYC-area shows on April 19 at The Paramount in Huntington and April 20 at Webster Hall. Tickets for those shows are still available. Ted lives in the area so here's to hoping he at least makes an appearance!
All dates are listed below...

Ben Gibbard on The Colbert Report
Death Cab for Cutie/Postal Service frontman Ben GIbbard appeared on The Colbert Report last night (1/10) to perform the song "Bigger Than Love" off of his 2012 solo album, Former Lives. Ben brought out fellow Tom Scharpling associate Aimee Mann to play bass, sing the first verse, and join Ben on vocals in the chorus. They were also joined by Aimee's pal Ted Leo on guitar and Jon Wurster on drums. Ben also did a solo acoustic performance of "I'm Building a Fire," and like Stephen Colbert's other musical victims, he was interviewed on the show too. You can watch videos of both songs and the interview below.

"Wow Warsaw took away the barricade. Gonna piiiit for old skool Fucked Up songs." - @educatingeric
Fucked Up have been on the road for much of 2012, and before ringing in the new year, the Toronto band brought their colossal punk to NYC for a one-off at Warsaw with a great lineup of support from Lemuria, Parquet Courts, and Night Birds. That one-off turned into a surprise two-off, when Fucked Up were announced as the secret headliner for Saturday's (12/22) grand finale of Brooklyn Night Bazaar. Pictures from the Warsaw show are in this post.
Lemuria, who opened for Titus Andronicus (who are touring Europe with Fucked Up soon) earlier in the month, brought out Ted Leo (who recently played with Titus at a Sandy benefit) during their set to cover Elvis Costello's "Waiting on the End of the World." Lemuria will play NYC again at the Don Giovanni showcases in Brooklyn this February.
Parquet Courts, who are reissuing their great debut, Light Up Gold, via What's Your Rupture in January, will be touring again in support of that album. The tour brings them back to Brooklyn on January 11 at Death by Audio. Meanwhile they're in Chicago tonight (12/27).
In related news, Fucked Up's Damian Abraham posted his "fav records that [he] acquired off [his] want list this year" to Matador's Matablog. The list isn't necessarily 2012 releases, but you can read his whole thing and check out more pics from the Warsaw show (unfortunately none of Parquet Courts) below...

Ted Leo played The Bell House w/ many guests (like Brooke Shields & Titus) (setlist), added to tonight's benefit at Littlefield
Brooke Shields and Tom Scharpling (via Patrick Cotnoir)
Tom Scharpling, Ted Leo, and Marianne Ways put together "A Very Special Benefit Show" on Friday (12/7) at the Bell House with a great lineup of Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, Chris Elliott (joined by Adam Resnick), John Hodgman, Jon Benjamin, Julie Klausner (joined by Gary the Squirrel), Andrew W.K., Kristen Schaal, previously revealed surprise guests TItus Andronicus, and a secret appearance by Brooke Shields. The show began with an intro by Ted Leo and Tom Scharpling, and then the many acts began their (relatively short) sets with auctions spliced in between. Later on in the show, Tom and Ted returned to the stage together to interview Brooke Shields, and before Andrew WK's closing set, Ted played a song on stage with the auction winner. To end the night, after Andrew WK's set, he was joined on stage by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists and members of Titus for a killer cover of "Louie Louie." A picture of the setlist from the show is below.
Ted Leo was also added to the previously mentioned Concert & Comedy For Sandy Animals: Benefit for the Sean Casey Animal Rescue, which takes place at Littlefield TONIGHT (12/9) with Michael Showalter, Casey Shea, The National Reserve, Jena Friedman, Colleen Pelletier (video), and Rawan Rihani (art). Supercute were initially supposed to play but they had to cancel. Tickets for tonight's show are still available.
In case you missed it, Tom Scharpling also made the mix tape for the first of Yo La Tengo's eight Hanukkah shows last night (12/8). Last night's openers were The Raybeats and Emo Philips. Any guesses on who opens tonight?

Aimee Mann & Ted Leo played Music Hall of Williamsburg despite Hurricane Sandy aftermath and false fire alarm (pics)

"I'm about to see @tedleo in his pajamas. #FirstNightOnBus" - Aimee Mann
After much confusion about the Aimee Mann and Ted Leo shows that were initially supposed to happen at Bowery Ballroom on Monday (10/29) and Music Hall of Williamsburg on Tuesday (10/30), Aimee and Ted ended up playing Music Hall of Williamsburg on Wednesday (10/31) and honored tickets purchased for either show, and they're working on rescheduling the Bowery Ballroom show for next week. Despite all of that chaos, it was a relief when they decided to play on Wednesday, until they ran into more chaos, totally unrelated to Sandy. Someone pulled the fire alarm at MHOW a little while after doors opened, sending everyone out onto the street. Fortunately, it was a false alarm and the show ended up going on as planned.
The crowd was smaller than it probably would have been without Hurricane Sandy, but hopefully anyone who wasn't able to make it will be able to catch the Bowery show when it's rescheduled. Aimee wrote a song due to the events that took place this week called "Oh Sandy," which she performed at the show, and you can watch a video of that below. Ted also joined Aimee on stage during her set at the show (as pictured above). More pictures from the show and that "Oh Sandy" video are below.
Continue reading "Aimee Mann & Ted Leo played Music Hall of Williamsburg despite Hurricane Sandy aftermath and false fire alarm (pics)"
Aimee Mann and Ted Leo, who played Town Hall together on 10/27, were supposed to play Bowery Ballroom last night (10/29) and Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight (10/30). As mentioned before the power went out, the Monday Bowery show was postponed to Wednesday/Halloween, but tonight's Brooklyn show was just officially cancelled moments ago, one of the last hold-outs (pretty much every other Tuesday night show was already cancelled).
It's unclear now if they'll reschedule and what will happen to Wednesday's show... Aimee tweeted, "So sorry to report that my show in Williamsburg tonight is canceled...I guess they were just afraid no one could get there. Argh!! I think they are considering an option of doing two shows tomorrow? But not sure where that would be. I'll keep you posted. If we do two tomorrow, it will probably be in Williamsburg, since the power is still out in lower Manhattan." Stay tuned.
UPDATE from Aimee: "Ok, here it is: I'm playing tomorrow at the Williamsburg Music Hall & both Williamsburg tickets AND Bowery tickets will be honored. AND... We're working on rescheduling to play at the Bowery next week, if you can't get to Williamsburg. Whew! #sorrytimesamillion"
Hurricane Sandy is finally upon us, with the height of the storm hitting around 6 PM. Like Sunday, mass transit is closed and almost everything is cancelled. We'll update this list throughout the day but, as far as we know, the only major show still
happening in NYC tonight is Swans at Music Hall of Williamsburg (though we expect a postponement announcement any minute) (Swans did play Bowery last night though). Swans is now postponed too.
Freddy's Bar says they're not closing and are even hosting an open mic.
Not sure if anyone is playing, but Pete's Candy Store "says Come & get us Sandy! We weren't afraid of Irene and we're not afraid of you! (but please don't hurt us) WE WILL BE OPEN TONIGHT. C'mon Over."
Aimee Mann & Ted Leo's show at Bowery Ballroom tonight has moved to Wednesday (10/31).
Luckily German band Fenster scheduled a lot of shows while they were here because their show last night at Shea Stadium was cancelled, and their one at Muchmore's tonight with Daytona and Hearsay & Hyperbole isn't happening either.
As mentioned yesterday, tonight's Brandi Carlile / Blitzen Trapper show at Beacon Theatre has been postponed.
Pat Kiernan Halloween trivia night at The Bell House is canceled.

Aimee Mann at MHOW in January (more by Dominick Matrangelo)
As mentioned, Aimee Mann and Ted Leo are touring together this fall and are hitting NYC for a show on October 27 at Town Hall. Tickets for that show are still available, but if you'd like to catch Aimee and Ted (who will be playing solo) in a smaller venue, you're in luck because they just announced that after the Town Hall show they'll play Bowery Ballroom on October 29 and Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 30. Tickets for the newly added shows go on sale Friday (8/24) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (8/22) at noon.
Aimee Mann recently made a video for the title track off of her upcoming LP, Charmer. You can watch that video and check out a list of updated dates below.

Craig Ferguson at Radio City (win tix!), Greg Barris, Greg Johnson, Eugene Mirman Fest Fundraiser & more!
by Klaus Kinski
Craig Ferguson
August is more than half over, the hottest July ever is behind us, September is around the corner, I can hear October's footsteps slowly trudging up the stairs. Fall and it's cool weather cannot get here fast enough, but until then here are some good comedy things happening that will hopefully make what remaining ball-danglingly hot and humid days are yet to be endured a little more tolerable.
Before I mention some cool shows, I must acknowledge the fact that there are hundreds of great comedy things happening every freaking week in this awesome city, but I don't have the time or the resources to even scratch the surface. My contributions to BV are completely erratic at best and I tend to stick with what I know and like. If you want to know what is happening in NYC comedy on a particular day, you gotta get hip to this dude Hy Bender and his site Best New York Comedy. The site is updated daily and features a super exhaustive look at what is happening in the NYC comedy world that particular day. The site is updated religiously. Forget tour dates, show reviews, pics, exhaustive commentary, snarky comments and crap like that.... It is your daily comedy itinerary and it scares me how on top of his shit this guy is. Anywhoozle...
Don't let his show fool you; late night talk show host Craig Ferguson is actually a pretty f-ing funny stand up comedian; definitely worth checking out if you've got the means. He's doing a ton of fairly expensive, large venue dates in October, one of which happens to be at Radio City Music Hall on October 6th. Tickets, which fall in a price range from $53.40 to a whopping $96.35 are currently on sale. However, I am going to assume you've got credit debt and student loans to worry about, so I am happy to report we are giving a pair of tickets away to one lucky winner. Instructions on how to try and win are waaayyyyyy down below.
On Saturday August 18th, the great Greg Barris brings his wondrous feast for the senses, Heart Of Darkness, to the cool and windowless confines of Union Hall's basement. Hosted By Greg Barris, the show will feature comedian Kate Berlant musical act The Bowery Riots, and Mind Warrior Daniel Pinchbeck as well as music by The Forgiveness. HOD is not just some straight-up comedy show; it is literally an incredibly engaging live experience that will wake your ass up and get you thinking, man. If you are in Philadelphia and happen to be reading this, Heart Of Darkness invades your town TONIGHT, August 16th, at Underground Arts. Part of the Heart of Darkness Summer Forgiveness Tour 2012, the show will feature Greg Barris, New Beard, Corrupt Autopilot, Wigmaker's Son, and Yazan. Philly, you are in for a treat. Take a break from your Toynbee Tile investigations for a night and check this shit out.
The following night (Sunday August 19th), at the same place, Union Hall, Klaus favorite Greg Johnson brings his show Greg Johnson - Live: One Night Only! to what I can only assume will be a sold out audience. At the show Greg performs stand up comedy, along with a few very special guests, one night only. $5 tickets are still available but the last installment sold out and I betcha this one will too. Greg is one of my favorite comedians in NYC and he is also one of the most painfully overlooked ones out there. You gotta go.
Then on Tuesday August 21st, the hilarious Gabe Delahaye brings his monstrous comedy showcase The Mr. Coconuts Comedy Show to Union Hall's basement for yet another staggering showcase. The show will bring to the stage Gabe Liedman, Max Silvestri, Greg Johnson, Dan St. Germain, David Rees, Jessi Klein, and John Mulaney. I'd like to think that if Darrell Sheets knew anything about comedy and saw that line-up he'd say "That line-up's a 50 dollar bill all day long." BUT it's only 10 bucks! As of writing it is, predictably, sold out. But keep your eyes on ticketweb for last minute ticket releases (if there are any)(not likely)(but not impossible) OR just show up the night of the show and hope some loser's +1 didn't show up or some comedy dignitary who has a freebie awaiting him or her doesn't show up and snag their vacancy.
Oh yeah, also, I almost forgot! Tom Shillue's Funny Story returns to Brooklyn Brewery on Thursday August 23rd with guests Jessi Klein, Lisa Delarios, and Trace Crutchfield. Tickets are CHEAP and you get a nice, cold, free beer!
Union Hall's big brother/big sister venue The Bell House is no stranger to epic comedy. The first not-to-be-missed event is on Friday, August 24 a fundraiser for the always incredible Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival. The event is called Bring Your Checkbook: The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival Fundraiser and, as the title states, is a fundraiser in support of the upcoming Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival which will invade Brooklyn September 14-16. The fundraiser will feature a cocktail reception from 7pm - 8pm as well as an AMAZING raffle and silent auction. At 8:30pm an epic show will commence featuring Eugene Mirman, Brendan Small (!) from METALOCALYPSE and a TON of other guests who I am not able to divulge but who will knock your socks off. Like, you won't believe it. Tickets are $25 and are currently onsale. You will not believe what prizes and guests are in store for you, so I wouldn't put off buying a ticket because it's gonna sell out and no emoticon in the world will adequately express how f-ing bummed you will be.
Blasting ahead a bit, the Bell House will play host to two other awesome comedy events, one of which is already sold out! The show is called The Thrilling Adventure Hour and it's basically a staged show in the style of old-timey radio. The cast features Paul F. Tompkins, Paget Brewster, John Hodgman, Busy Philipps and James Urbaniak (!). The show takes place on Sunday September 30th at 7:30pm and 10:00pm. The 7:30pm show is SOLD OUT, but there are a handful of tickets left to the 10:00pm show, so get on this now son.
Oh, and don't forget: On Wednesday October 17th you can catch a live taping of the ever so wonderful Julie Klausner's podcast How Was Your Week? at The Bell House with house band Ted Leo and friends. Tickets are available!

Wild Flag/Mission of Burma at Prospect Park - 8/3/12
This summer's free Celebrate Brooklyn shows in Prospect Park continued on Friday (8/3) with a great co-headlining double bill of Wild Flag and Mission of Burma, and support from a solo Ted Leo set. People began lining up in Prospect Park at least a half hour before doors opened and by the time Ted Leo began his set at 7 PM many of the chairs had filled up and others took more casually to the grass area in the back, some of who were sitting on free blankets provided by show sponsor Google Play (who also had a stage at Lollapalooza over the weekend).
The entire bill was made up of artists who have left a lasting stamp on indie rock, and all three were terrific as usual. Ted Leo's opening set included a number of Pharmacists songs, and he also revealed two new ones for the first time (one of which you can watch a video of below). He was both modest (he called a performance of one of the new songs "half baked") and in good spirits the whole time, cracking wtty jokes like, "This next one's for Park Slope, it's called 'The Little Smug Supper Club.'" (Though at the end of the song he said, "I shouldn't talk, I live in Brooklyn Heights.")
After Ted, Mission of Burma kept things going with a set which continued to prove, four albums into their post-reunion career, that they are still a necessary band. The new material is just as genuine as the early-'80s output and the band members are just as (or more) lively and youthful than many of the bands who took after them. Drummer Peter Prescott is playfully sarcastic while the other members keep a bit quieter with stage banter but create massive levels of noise with their instruments -- especially guitarist Roger Miller, whose playing is equally sloppy and noisy as it is precise and melodic, not unlike J Mascis who he likely had influence on.
Then Wild Flag closed out the night with a killer set made up mostly of material from their 2011 debut, including standout tracks like "Glass Tambourine," "Boom," and "Romance," plus deeper cuts like the always-intense "Racehorse," which was a bit less drawn out at this show than past performances, but still one of Carrie Brownstein's most shining moments in the set. They also mixed a few new songs into their set, like they've been doing at other 2012 shows. Upon returning for their encore, Carrie said that since they were in New York, one of the greatest places for music, they'd play some NY covers. The band then proceeded to bang out covers of Television's "See No Evil" and Patti Smith's "Ask the Angels," doing more than justice to both songs. A video of both covers is below.
The free Celebrate Brooklyn shows in Prospect Park continue on August 10 with Little Dragon and Frankie Rose. More pictures and videos from last Friday's show are below...

Ted Leo will open the show with a solo set. Doors are at 6 and Ted Leo goes on at 7, followed by Mission Burma at 7:45 then Wild Flag at 9:15. Ted Leo, who plays in NYC a lot, is saying that this is his only hometown show until the end of October. It's also Wild Flag's only upcoming show except for FYF Fest, but Mission of Burma have a bunch of upcoming dates, all of which are listed below.
As mentioned, Wild Flag and Mission of Burma have a split 7" with WF's "Boom" and MoB's "What They Tell Me," which will be available exclusively at tonight's show. There's also a limited edition poster for the show which you can enter to win if you RSVP to the show's facebook event.

Mission of Burma and Wild Flag releasing split 7" for upcoming Prospect Park show; MoB expand tour (dates)
Wild Flag at Pitchfork Fest 2012 (more by Fred Pessaro)
As you're possibly aware, Wild Flag and Mission of Burma are playing a free Celebrate Brooklyn! show in Prospect Park on August 3 with Ted Leo. To commemorate the show, the two headliners are releasing a split 7" that will be sold at the show, with Wild Flag's "Boom" on one side and MoB's "What They Tell Me"on the flip. Both songs are previously released but it's still a cool little keepsake. Look for it at the merch table. You can check out the single's cover art below along with a stream of Mission of Burma's contribution.
Wild Flag are taking it easy this summer. The Prospect Park show and FYF Fest in L.A. in September are the band's only two current upcoming gigs. Meanwhile, Mission of Burma's new album, Unsound, came out last week and the whole thing is streaming via Spotify. The band have a decent slate of tour dates coming up, all of which are listed below.

Detroit formally declared bankrupt in landmark ruling
The city of Detroit - once a symbol of America's industrial supremacy - has been formally declared bankrupt by a judge.
The judge cited the city's dismal finances and $18 billion owed to a multitude of creditors in support of the landmark ruling.
Funeral for US teen shot dead after knocking for help
The funeral of a black 19-year-old woman shot dead in Detroit last week is to be held today. Renisha McBride was killed on a doorstep after she knocked for help in the early hours of Saturday morning, following a car accident in a predominately white suburb of the city.
The gunman, who has not been identified by police, is understood to have claimed he discharged his gun accidentally after he mistook Ms McBride for an intruder.
US teen shot dead as she asks for help after car accident
Friends and relatives of a black 19-year-old woman shot dead in the US city of Detroit are demanding police to investigate whether she was attacked because of the colour of her skin.
Renisha McBride was killed on a doorstep after she knocked for help following a car accident in a predominately white suburb.
About 40 of her supporters gathered outside the local police station last night demanding justice and questioning the actions of the homeowner, who has not been identified by officers.
"He shot her in the head...for what? For knocking on his door. If he felt scared or threatened, he should have called 911", the teenager's aunt told Detroit News.
Judge orders Detroit to withdraw bankruptcy petition
A ruling in a US state court has raised questions about whether Detroit's bankruptcy will stand up under legal review.
The state court judge in Michigan's capital of Lansing ordered Detroit's Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr to withdraw the bankruptcy petition because the state law that allowed Michigan Governor Rick Snyder to approve the bankruptcy violated the Michigan Constitution.
Orr, who was appointed by Snyder in March to try to resolve the city's financial crisis and tackle its $18.5 billion in long-term debt, acknowledged that court battles over the need for a bankruptcy filing could be protracted and difficult.

Governor Rick Snyder has said declaring the US city as bankrupt is an "opportunity to stop 60 years of decline in Detroit".
He told a press conference: "That's why we wanted this, to reassure the citizens of Detroit that normal operations will continue. People will be paid, people can do services.
"I don't view this as a terrible answer. Now is our opportunity to stop 60 years of decline. This is fundamental."
Detroit official: 'Bankruptcy gives us breathing room'
Detroit's state-appointed emergency manager has told a press conference that the move to bankruptcy was "tool" to give the city "breathing room".
Bankruptcy is a tool in our toolbox to get at the goals that we want to achieve.
It gives us breathing room. We are being sued on almost a weekly basis and that's the very thing that I have pleaded for - not to happen.

My wife and I are hosting a nice, young (17 YO) German boy this summer. His name is Josh, and he is the two-time German national pentathlon champion (for his age group). He's probably about 6'3or 4", and a strong rider. Josh and I just completed a successful Iowa crossing last Monday, and here are the details with some photos attached. The total mileage was about 300. We started in Omaha, Nebraska on Saturday morning at about 8 A.M. (too late), but since we had just arrived in Omaha at 1 A.M. earlier that morning from Utah, we decided to "sleep in" for at least 4 or 5 hours. It was hot for the whole trip with high temperatures hovering around 100-105F on all 3.5 days. But the real killer was that famous mid-west humidity. I'm not sure of the exact humidity reading, but several people told us it was around 90%!!! Now I'm a high desert, low humidity kind of guy, so it was very uncomfortable for me, and Josh is a cool, wet weather German guy, so the high temperature was difficult for him, too.
We crossed the Missouri river at about 8 A.M., over the old Omaha bridge, and Janet (Ms hammer boy) rode ahead in the car about 50 miles and fixed us a wonderful picnic lunch (see photo). After lunch, she headed on to our hotel to wait for us. It started to get really hot about this time, so the second half of our first day was challenging. About 10 miles before our hotel I started to get chills, which is a sign of heat exhaustion, so we found a nice tree and drank, drank, drank. I figure we drank about 10 gallons (40 liters) of water all 3.5 days. Anyway, soon I felt better and we made it to our first hotel where Janet was waiting. We did 82.6 miles the first day. That's pretty good, considering the late start, lack of good sleep, challenging hills, and that terrible heat.
The next morning we got out a bit earlier (6 A.M.) and that made things much better for the first half of the ride, but boy, did it heat up after lunch. We said good bye to Janet at about 10 A.M., near Winterset, Iowa (the home of the movie, Bridges of Madison County, and the birthplace of John Wayne). Now we were totally on our own. It was a long and hot afternoon and Josh had a real difficult time keeping up. It wasn't a good day for him. Once, while we were stopped cooling off under a nice big tree, some wonderful Iowa woman stopped her car and brought us two nice big bottles of ice cold water. She said she saw us some miles back and then went to the store to buy the water but had a hard time finding us, lying there under that shade tree. She said she was sure happy to see we were okay. Josh couldn't believe how nice the people were, but I explained that Americans take care of one another, especially in our heart land. This cold water gave both of us a nice boost and we arrived at our hotel at about 3 P.M. When we got to the hotel the lady at the front desk said she was worried about us and was glad to see that "her cyclists" made it okay. I went out into what felt like a bake oven over to a nearby Subway and bought two huge sandwiches and Josh and I inhaled them. By 9 P.M. we were both very much asleep. We made about 85 miles the second day.
On Monday morning we got out of bed at 5 A.M. and with our blinkie lights a flashin' we hit the road, headed for the next Iowa town of Washington. The day went well, and we were both strong, hardly feeling the many hills. When we stopped for lunch, Josh discovered that he had forgotte his (expensive, prescription) sun glasses some 15 miles back. Man, I didn't want to add 30 miles to the day, but we discussed our options. The manager of the Subway sandwich shop overheard our conversation and offered to drive us back to find his glasses. Who's gonna pass up an offer like that? Not me! So this wonderful lady took us back to the place Josh remembered where he left his glasses, and there they were, lying in the grass, right where he left them. The woman refused to allow me to fill up her gas tank, so I hid a $10 bill in the back seat of her car. We'll send her some photos of our adventure. (her name is) Madona, bless you. If you're ever at the Subway in Seagorney, Iowa, tell Madona how much we appreciate her.
We arrived at our last hotel about 2 P.M., having put 87 miles under our sorry butts, and we ordered out a Pizza Hut thick crust, sausage, mushroom and green pepper pizza with bread sticks. Again, we inhaled the pizza and slept like a couple of babies. Both of us woke up about 4:30 A.M. the next morning and hit the road with our blinkie lights flashing as we tooled through Washington, Iowa, headed for the muddy Mississippi, only about 50 miles away. Since we had such a short ride, we stopped at a truck stop for a nice bacon and eggs breakfast. About 10:30 A.M. we hit the shore of the Mississippi river in the Iowa town of Muscatine. Janet and her sister had just arrived in town, too, so we cell phone connected and met them for lunch. Josh and I dumped all of our dirty clothes, bags, snack bars, and other stuff off and headed for the bridge over the Mighty Mississippi with much lighter and faster bikes. We crossed the river into Illinois about 2 P.M. and about 5 miles into Illinois we were picked up by the girls to head to Janet's sister's place, about 40 miles away. I would like to have ridden my bike, but we wasted too much time in Muscatine. We've been at Janet's sister's place since, but Josh, Janet and I have ridden nearly every day, tearing up the country roads here in Illinois.
I'm looking forward to an across America trip next summer, but I don't think Josh will have the time to join me. He's been a great companion, never complaining and working hard to keep up. I'd bike with him anywhere. We found out that southern Iowa is quite hilly. The route we took included 9,400' (3,200m) of climbing, but being a mountain rider, it was quite easy, jumping over those many little hills. I sure look forward to doing it again some day, but under cooler conditions.
Hope you enjoyed the photos. OHB
