Discussion in 'Model S: Ordering, Production, Delivery' started by jmsurpri, Feb 5, 2016.
Congratulations! Give us more details, please! What color? Features? What convinced you to get it?
Blue, tan next-gen, pano, piano black, autopilot, air suspension, subzero, 19"
I've been following (and investing in) Tesla for a while now. A couple years ago I knew my next car was going to be an EV. Thinking it was insane to drop 100K on a Tesla, I ended up buying a Volt. The Volt's been a good car, but after awhile I started thinking more seriously about making the leap to a Tesla. Being a tech geek, features like autopilot, summon, etc are pretty awesome. A couple weeks ago, after walking past the Tesla store at the local mall for years, I finally went in. A couple days later, I was behind the wheel of a P90DL, which I borrowed for a few hours for an extended test drive. When I got back to the mall, I placed the order :smile:.
Despite how much you think you are going to love the car, go ahead and double it. Enjoy!
Welcome to the Tesla family, enjoy!
Hey jmsurpri - I'm in nearly an identical condition. I ordered my 85D on 1/22, confirmed and got VIN on 1/30, delivery says "late February - March". And I'm only a few miles north of you. And the wait is killing me!!
BTW - mine is blue, grey next-gen, matte obeche, pano roof, air suspension, auto pilot, standard 19" wheels. We will probably get ours at the same time. Maybe we should do a meet-up at the Centralia SuperCharger for a coffee after we get our cars?
Looks like we configured pretty similar cars. I had the matte obeche interior initially without air suspension, but after test-driving with/without air suspension, I decided to get the air and offset the cost a little by going with the standard piano black interior.
Count me in too. I'm on a similar schedule.
The more the merrier! Once we have delivery dates we can figure out a date and time.
I too am on a similar schedule. Got my vin on 2/2. Similar specs as well. S 85D, Midnight Silver, Black standard seats and black alcantara, AP, Subzero, UHDSS. I'm scheduled for Late March/Early April delivery to Pittsburgh (Cleveland SC), so consider yourselves lucky as it looks like you'll be getting your cars a month ahead of me. Please provide updates on your delivery schedule. Thanks.
If the reports are true, it doesn't look like you'll be an 85D owner. You'll either be asked to pay more for a 90D or less for a 70D.
I placed my order for a 90D this morning. Requested an April delivery to coincide with my current LEAF lease ending.
Had been anticipating to get a Toyota Land Cruiser as the ultimate vehicle of choice to do road trips in my retirement. When I am ready to purchase it, a couple of hours of research on Tesla Model S totally changed my mind on Land Cruiser. Ordered 85D on 1/10/2016, to be delivered late February/early March. Titanium color, grey next gen seats, auto pilot (number one reason), premium interior, smart air suspension (after driving BMW M3 for 5 years, this becomes a must-have). By the way, the number two reaon is the super chargers system; what can be better than traveling with no fuel cost? Number 3: it is designed like a station wagon, a couple can sleep in there comfortably, not that I intend to save lodging expense.
Similar schedule here too! Order confirmed 1/11, production around 3rd week of Feb. Model S 90D white, autopilot, air suspension, cold weather, etc.
Entered production today, 2/13. Delivery late Feb.
Couldn't agree with you more. Love my 2011 Volt, but the Tesla is the only LOGICAL next step for us! Congratulations!

Only a trip like this could give you a different perspective on your place in the world and help you sort out what is really important in your life.
Our already close-knit family was brought even closer with a lifetime of shared memories from this trip. In our little self-contained microcosm we floated through a vast wilderness where, around the next bend, was a different vista or new adventure.
We had a great group of people who were unknown to us at the start but by the end of the trip we were fast friends and hopefully will stay in touch.
Our guides, Ronnie and Jeff, were simply the best. They worked extremely hard to keep us comfortable, safe and well fed. Their knowledge of canyon history and geology was excellent and prompted many questions and interesting discussions. On top of that, they made the trip fun. The food was gourmet-class and expertly prepared by our guides. We literally ate like kings. If you need to get to what is real in life then you should take this trip.

Get ready for store closures to snowball
marventari | June 9, 2020 | News | No Comments
New York (CNN Business) As many as 25,000 retail stores in the United States are expected to permanently close this year as consumer demand for discretionary items stalls and more people shift to online shopping, according to a firm that tracks the industry.
So far in 2020, more than 4,000 stores have said they will permanently close, according to a report released Tuesday by Coresight Research, a retail research and advisory firm. It anticipates closures will snowball and set a new annual record this year, breaking last year's record 9,302 closures tracked by the firm.
Retailers have been slammed by the coronavirus pandemic and recession. Pier 1 Imports (PIRRQ), JCPenney (JCP) and Tuesday Morning (TUES), which have all filed for bankruptcy, have announced intentions to close hundreds of stores.GNC (GNC) and Victoria's Secret (LB) are closing hundreds more.
"Apparel retail and department stores look set to feature prominently in total store closures," Coresight said in its report.
A range of forces that were present before the pandemic are driving up closures, including unsustainable debt levels and the continued shift to online shopping. Then came the economic shock from the recession, Coresight said.
Consumer confidence and demand will stall in the coming months, sparking additional closings, Coresight predicts. The firm said there will be a "major uptick" in store closings because consumer demand for discretionary items will be "below normal" for an extended period.
"Retailers that were struggling to stay in business pre-crisis are unlikely to have the wherewithal to stay the course on the road to recovery," Coresight said.
More than half of the store closures are expected to come in malls. Indoor shopping malls have been struggling in recent years amid declining foot traffic and fierce competition online.
Malls that lose an anchor store are likely may have trouble keeping its remaining tenants, creating "a ripple effect that spells bad news for malls," Coresight said. Some stores may enter into "co-tenancy clauses" that allow them to pay lower rent or break their leases if an anchor tenant leaves, Coresight predicted.
Additional store closures may also impact retail employment. In May, the retail sector added 367,800 jobs, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.
But that came after retailers made steep job cuts in March and April, as clothing chains, department stores, sporting and home goods' chains and others temporarily shut stores.
Overall, retailers have announced the second-highest number of job cuts this year across all sectors, behind the entertainment and leisure industry, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an outplacement firm. More than 150,000 retail workers have been laid off so far this year, according to the firm.

A Ukrainian general said that the country's army isn't strong enough to fight a Russian invasion.
Gen. Kyrylo O. Budanov told the New York Times that Ukraine needs more resources to stand a chance.
Russia has massed tens of thousands of troops at various locations along the Ukrainian border.
A top Ukrainian general is warning that the country's armed forces are not strong enough to fight back against a potential Russian invasion, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
With just under 100,000 Russian troops massed at various points along the Ukrainian border and more troops moving into these areas, Ukraine's military leadership is saying that they would need more resources to defend the country from a Russia invasion, the report said.
"Unfortunately, Ukraine needs to be objective at this stage," Gen. Kyrylo O. Budanov, the head of Ukraine's military intelligence service, told the Times. "There are not sufficient military resources for repelling a full-scale attack by Russia if it begins without the support of" additional forces, including Western forces.
"They will hold up as long as there are bullets," he said. "They'll be able to use what they have in their hands, but believe me without delivery of reserves, there's not an army in the world that can hold out."
Budanov told the Times that Ukrainian forces could be quickly overwhelmed by Russian airstrikes and rockets targeting vulnerable, strategic positions, which could incapacitate key elements of the Ukrainian military. As the Russian military's vastly superior combined arms capabilities give it the ability to hammer and overrun Ukrainian defenses, one expert told Insider that it's hard to see how Ukraine could repel a full-scale attack.
As Russia gathers troops and equipment in locations not far from the Ukrainian border, the US, as well as some of its allies and partners, have been increasingly raising concerns about the possibility of a Russian invasion.
Biden administration officials revealed late last week that US intelligence indicates Russia could invade early next year with a force as large as 175,000 troops, according to multiple reports.
One official said that "the Russian plans call for a military offensive against Ukraine as soon as early 2022 with a scale of forces twice what we saw this past spring during Russia's rapid military buildup near Ukraine's borders."
"The plans involve extensive movement of 100 battalion tactical groups with an estimated 175,000 personnel, along with armor, artillery, and equipment," the official said, further explaining that the US estimates "half of these units are already near Ukraine's border."
While the US is concerned, President Joe Biden said Wednesday that unilaterally putting troops on the ground in Ukraine to deter a Russian invasion is "not in the cards right now."
His administration has, however, threatened Russia with "severe consequences," namely economic and financial punishments, suggested a possible need to reinforce NATO allies along the eastern flank, and offered to provide additional defensive capabilities to Ukraine.
It is unclear whether that additional support would be sufficient to bolster Ukraine's combat capability to the point that it could withstand a full-scale invasion by the Russian military. Experts have previously told Insider that it is unlikely Ukraine could win the day.
"The Russians have quantitative and qualitative superiority over the Ukrainian military," Jeffrey Edmonds, a former CIA military analyst and Russia expert at CNA, recently told Insider.
"I just don't see the Ukrainians winning this if we're talking about like a full-on, you know, coming across the border, not sneaking units across the border or using artillery or indigenous forces and things like that," he said. "We're talking about combined arms armies rolling across the border in Ukraine with artillery support, full air support, long-range missiles, all the gloves off."
"I think there would be some costs," Edmonds said. "I don't think the Russians think it would be easy, but if you're a betting man, you would probably put your money on the Russians."
Robert Lee, a US Marine Corps veteran and Russian military expert, told the Times that "if Russia really wants to unleash its conventional capabilities, they could inflict massive damage in a very short period of time," further explaining that "they can devastate the Ukrainian military in the east really quickly." He said it could be over in "the first 30-40 minutes."
One senior Ukrainian general commanding forces fighting separatists said in a recent interview that if the West did not come to its aid, it would turn to the Ukrainian people, many of which have military experience, and "start a partisan war." Another senior Ukrainian official told the Times that they could open the weapons depots to the people to defend themselves if all else failed.

Transatlantic Intelligencer: Europe's Ukraine II: The OSCE and Electoral Fraud - A Record of Partiality?
In an odd and obvious reversal of the sense of words, much of the punditry in the American media, both old and new, has – like Robert Kagan in his Sunday Washington Post column – qualified the Ukrainian electoral commission's declaration of Viktor Yanukovich the winner of the November 21 elections in Ukraine a "coup d'état". It might well be that Ukraine's state institutions are corrupt, but Ukraine's state institutions are, after all, Ukraine's state institutions, and in the political contest opposing Yanukovich and Viktor Yushchenko since the election results were announced, it is quite obviously the latter and not the former who has persistently acted in defiance of them. In the ordinary sense of words, it is Yushchenko and not Yanukovich who has attempted (having himself sworn in as President in spite of the electoral commission's findings) or threatened (sending militants to block government buildings and setting "deadlines" for finding a "legal" solution to the current impasse) a coup d'état.
In his Washington Post column, Kagan suggests that "if Ukrainians eventually vote in a free and fair election" they will be able to "thwart the reemergence of an authoritarian Russian empire along the borders of democratic Europe," i.e. presumably the definitive anchoring of Ukraine within the Russian sphere of influence. But in fact it is not clear that if Ukrainians voted in a free and fair election, they would not precisely choose this: that is, a rapprochement with Russia – if not their subjection to an "authoritarian empire". Perhaps indeed this is what happened on November 21. As reported in an informative and unusually even-handed article on the "Ukrainian imbroglio" in the November 29 edition of Le Figaro, a survey conducted in September by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Institute for International Sociology of Kiev found that 49% of Ukrainians believe that it would be best for Ukraine to form a union with Russia and Belarus. The percentage of the vote with which the Ukrainian electoral commission credited the, in effect, "pro-Russian" candidate Viktor Yanukovich in the November 21 election was…49% (to 46% for the "pro-European" candidate Viktor Yushchenko).
The evidence offered in the "western" media that this result must be fraudulent essentially consists of exit polls conducted by private polling organizations. A November 23 article from the Jerusalem Post cites reports in the local press to the effect that some 40% of persons asked refused to respond to the poll-takers – a figure which is very plausible in the midst of a highly polarized election in a young post-Soviet democracy where voters are unlikely to want willingly to compromise the secrecy of their ballots. Of course, only three weeks before the Ukrainian elections, exit polls conducted under what were far more favorable circumstances proved wildly misleading in predicting the outcome of the US presidential elections.
Apart from the exit polls, the major source serving to undermine the legitimacy of the November 21 Ukrainian election is the report rendered by the Election Observer Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and which claims that the vote "did not meet a considerable number of OSCE commitments and Council of Europe and other European standards for democratic elections". It might be noted in this connection that the OSCE also sent an Election Observer Mission to monitor the November 2 elections in the US and that this mission likewise found the US elections to be not fully in conformity with the US's commitments as an OSCE member. (The preliminary report on the US elections concludes in notably lukewarm fashion that the US "mostly met" its OSCE commitments.) It should also be noted that, contrary the impression created by the uptake of the OSCE findings in both the old and new media, the preliminary report on Ukraine does not explicitly allege electoral fraud. Indeed, the only explicit charges of fraud cited in the report concern allegations that in the heavily pro-Yushchenko western Ukraine "between 1.25 and 2 million illegal votes had been cast on behalf of voters resident abroad" and that 1.1 million votes for Yanukovich were "set aside" by polling station managers loyal to Yushchenko. The OSCE mission claims to have found no evidence in support of these allegations.
One of the OSCE findings that has received the greatest attention in the "western" media as suggesting electoral fraud on the part of the Ukrainian government concerns "suspiciously high turnout" in eastern regions that voted heavily for Yanukovich. A turn-out rate of 88.41% is reported, for instance for the region of Lugansk and a figure of 96.31% for that of Donetsk. It is thus interesting to recall that when in September 1996, elections were held under OSCE supervision in Bosnia-Herzegovina, initial estimates from anonymous OSCE sources put the total number of votes at roughly 3.2 million: this in a country counting at the time some 2.9 million eligible voters – thus giving a turnout of some 110%. A highly impressive demonstration of nascent civic consciousness indeed! The official figure cited by the OSCE put voter turnout for all of Bosnia-Herzegovina at some 82%. An analysis of voter turnout according to "nationality" (i.e. ethnic "nationality") conducted by the International Crisis Group found participation rates of 79%, 98.5%, and 103 % for Bosnian Croats, Serbs, and Muslims respectively. Despite the obvious evidence of fraud constituted by such figures, the OSCE declared the Bosnian elections free and fair, thus legitimating the victory in the presidential contest – by some mere tens of thousands of votes – of the reputedly "pro-Western" reputedly "democratic" candidate of the day: the Islamist Alija Izetbegovic.
Nonetheless, in the Romanian case, the OSCE has declined to call into question the legitimacy of the elections and the "western" media has paid only meager attention to the contested vote. Why? Perhaps the Romanian opposition of Traian Basescu's Justice and Truth Alliance needs to adopt a color or wear scarves? Or perhaps it is because the "pro-Western" "pro-European" party in the Romanian vote is precisely that party which stands accused of fraud.


The Minister for Regional Reorganisation, Dan Botwe says government is happy with the success of the just ended Referendum on the creation of six new regions.
This joy, for him, is not exactly about the creation of new regions but the government's ability to follow through with constitutional requirements, seeing to it that the people's wish is granted.
Turnout in almost all the regions was above the required 50 percent stipulated in the Constitution with many exceeding the required 80 percent YES votes.
Technically, these new regions have been created but Parliament will need to endorse it before their creation can come into effect.
The push for the creation of the new regions was driven by identified inequalities and development gaps established by the Justice Brobbey Presidential Commission and a Local Governance Expert, expects the new regions to get the needed development they require.
"Look at the Western region, where Sekondi-Takoradi is and its proximity to those at the north of the region. Look at the Northern region, the vastness and the size of the region. The distance from Tamale to the other areas, it didn't promote cohesion [and] development.
"When it comes to development you need to have a centre of gravity. The newly created regions are going to have regional headquarters which will eventually develop into growth centres which would have infrastructure that will be accessible to people who want to do investment and all kinds of transactions as far as governmental issues are concerned," he said.
He is confident that government will be enjoined by the outcome of the Referendum to open up the regions to justify the reasons for the massive votes.

Is my tap water safe to drink during the coronavirus pandemic?
If you've had concerns about whether tap water remains safe to drink amid the coronavirus pandemic, local water treatment workers say, "it's perfectly safe."
Author: Katrina Lamansky

Employees at Moline's water treatment plant said they use filtration systems, chlorine and ultraviolet light to disinfect tap water every day.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, COVID-19 has not been detected in drinking water supplies. Current evidence shows that there is a low risk to water supplies.
"Americans can continue to use and drink from their tap as usual," said a statement from the EPA.

Moline Utilities Manager Tony Loete said there's no need to stock up on plastic water bottles from the store.
"If the sole purpose of our consumers was to go to the grocery to pick up bottled water then that's unnecessary," said Loete. "They can use water from the tap to make coffee, brush their teeth. They're using that water to shower. Tap water is perfectly safe."

"These treatments are effective in removing and/or inactivating viruses," said Reisen in a statement.


There we are in the dark and cold bedroom; it's time for us to retreat to our private thoughts and personal space that will be very frequently invaded by random requests, burning questions that absolutely require answers right there and then, the occasional need to pee again, and for sure, final whining and baby talk for the day.
Of course, this isn't new to both Aug and I. It's a ritual we know all too well by now. The barrage begins almost straightaway after our nightly routine. At almost five (three months short) and almost three (one month away!), that routine is now: the reading of two books (at the moment, it's Space Facts for Matthew and random fairy or pet books for Emma), our nightly prayers that conclude with us blessing one another with the sign of the cross on each other's foreheads and three "I love you"s said to three strokes of the nose. Then it's "Goodnight"s all round before the lights are turned off.
Then we wait for the kiddos to fall asleep. Occasionally, Aug is in the bedroom with me. It actually helps to have another adult presence in the bedroom even without any interaction happening between us at all.
Now is also when I'm a mix of all kinds of wandering thoughts including straying fears and some very deep emotions manifested as repeated cuddles, many kisses (though I keep saying it's the last one for the night over and over again) and "I love you"s until I'm sick of it.
As for the wandering thoughts and straying fears? Well, those come upon me mostly as recognition that nights like these (heck, days like that now) won't last forever what with the kids shuttling through each phase of growth.
Tonight, I think about Emma and how in the blink of an eye, she is almost three.
Do I know her well? Do I know her heart?
I say a lot to Aug about how Emma is so different from when she was a baby. While Matthew had just developed further along the character traits he already had as a baby, Emma seems to be a completely different person from when she was littler.
My dear Emma, you who used to be such a gentle little mite, quiet and patient, a sweet and demure creature who stole our hearts just by being there, with no personal want, and are just a baby through and through, and the one who got me laughing and asking your dad "How come she's so 姑娘? I wasn't!" … are now this fierce and feisty toddler who doesn't hold back from making known what you desire. You're strong-headed, insistent, persistent, curious while still so innocent and unknowing, and both demanding and forgiving, quite the "terrible-three" toddler and little baby of the family all at the same time.
Most days are filled with your constant tantrums and a lot of whining.
Most nights are filled with you scolding us for touching this thing or nudging you a certain way. It makes me want to tear my hair out each time I'm there beside you, but oh-so-funny when I think about it every time I'm not in the room with you. Oh you little chilli-padi-pumpkin.
And then I wonder, where did that cherubic angel disappear to? Are you merely going through a phase or were you this way all along… and I never noticed? Are you this flaming angel now because of something I did or didn't do? Do you accept my love when you're angry? Am I loving you the right way?
"Kiss her again," I say to daddy who is seated nearer to you.
Then I bend over your bed to kiss you again, and again, and again.
"You know mummy loves you right?" I ask your happy face as you attempt to shove Squirt in my face.
And then I wonder, how is it you're three? How did that time zip by? With Matthew, I was well aware of every single passing day. Even though, yes the years still flew by, I was present for everyday and I showed up with what little reserve energy I had. With you though, Emma, the days are just mostly a blur and I was merely managing. Did I take time to delight in you and enjoy you as much?
I know it's because I don't have memories of there just being you, except for the times we had together without your brother. With him though, there was an entire phase of life where it was just him as the one and only baby in the family. This knowledge doesn't ease the feeling of regret within though – small as it may be, truly – but ever-present.
So I do the next best thing, which is to be more aware of you, and to grasp you more fully – and believe me, it's difficult when you're testing my patience, our boundaries and the general sanity every three minutes – but I love you in the way that you were obviously made for me and us alone and I want to love you in the way that it makes my heart glad and it makes my heart soar despite the weight of that tinge of regret and the lightness of all my wishes and hopes for u combined.
And then in the darkness of the bedroom and the convergence of doubts and convictions, regrets and confidence, I do the other next best thing. I say to myself and to your daddy what I always, always say over and over again in my head (like a self-serving echo I implanted in myself a long time ago but am never fully conscious of): Kiss her again.


Did you know that it's been 20 years since Jon Benet Ramsey was murdered? Well yeah, it has been, and CBS is making sure to capitalize on it. Monster saw part of the show and Wine is eager to see what all the fuss is about. Also, Tulsa and Charlotte were big talking points in the news this past week, and your favorite podcast duo talk about what went down and how they're feeling. Lightening things up, Monster reviews the new Taco Bell Cheddar Habanero Quesarito Big Box and goes on a semi-rant reviewing the new Ghostbusters movie. Yes, he finally got around to seeing it. Whether you're into current affairs or entertainment news, I think this episode has you covered.

Bottom Line: Once installed in Pythonista, these Python scripts will make it much easier to import a script from a URL.
Seems like everyone's first Pythonista script is a way to import others' Pythonista scripts more easily. Here's my take.
I do most of my browsing on my Macbook, and I often use Messages.app to send URLs back and forth between my computer and my iOS devices. Once easy way for me to import a script into Pythonista is to message myself a pythonista:// URL that runs my import script and passes the external script URL as an argument. I use a TextExpander snippet abbreviated as .topythonista to make this even easier.
The Pythonista script (you'll have to figure how to get this one in there) is pretty simple. Note that the script name is important for the pythonista:// URL to work (i.e. note the url-encoded version of the script name snippet below).
Once you have both of these in place, you can copy to your computer's clipboard the (raw) URL to a Pythonista script (e.g. https://raw.github.com/jayhickey/Pythonista-Scripts/master/dropboxlogin.py), open an iMessage to yourself and type .topythonista… and the resulting mess should be clickable on your iOS device and result in a new script in Pythonista.
If you're browsing from your iOS device instead of your computer, this slight variation works with a bookmarklet you can save in your mobile browser of choice. It also tries to pull in the script name, but may not succeed. I have no idea what I'm doing, so no promises.
Here is the bookmarklet. Pro-tip: to run from Chrome for iOS, navigate to the page with the (raw) script you'd like to import and start typing your bookmarklet name of choice (doesn't matter what you name this it) into the omnibox, and tap the "suggestion." If you try to use it by navigating through your saved bookmarks, it won't work.
One last thing: if you have both an iPhone and iPad, it doesn't take long to set up a script to sync your Pythonista scripts between your devices via Dropbox. Start with this thread. As a bonus, the scripts will also end up syncing to your Dropbox-connected computer, where you can edit them with whatever editor you'd like (though Pythonista's editor is really good).


The circumstances by which seven strangers arrive separately at what looks like a meeting room are irrelevant in Mark Anderson's comedy Quorum. What matters is the developing group dynamic. There's no agenda other than to organize. The question of the organization's purpose can wait until leadership is established and methods for decision-making are in place. When human beings of any bent are sharing space, rules and a power structure, it seems, are essential.
Anderson wrote Quorum for Theatre X, the experimental theater collective of which I was a member. I recall the show with great affection. It was Anderson's sixth collaboration with our company. He directed the 1993 premiere at our performance space, now the Studio Theatre of the Broadway Theatre Center. I played Sammy, a mild-mannered fellow of few words who made his presence felt through facial expressions and gestures. It was heaven to play—intuitive, offbeat, performer/playwright Anderson at his best.
Anderson will play Sammy himself in Theatre Gigante's revival of Quorum at Plymouth Church. Isabelle Kralj, his co-artistic director in Theatre Gigante, will play the voluble Vivian who sees herself as the obvious choice for group president. Leslie Fitzwater, Ron Scot Fry, Bo Johnson, Jocelyn Ridgely and Michael Stebbins are the excellent actors who'll embody the rest of this embryonic society, folks at once ordinary and mysterious, variably cooperative and obstructionist, always vulnerable.
Anderson began the writing in the midst of the '92 presidential election in which Bill Clinton bested Bush Sr. Inspired by a television documentary on the social behavior of monkeys, he haunted the zoo's Monkey Island observing the creatures' interactions. He read Robert's Rules of Order and pictured the Theatre X actors in monkey relationships trying to follow the rules.
Oct. 7-15 at Plymouth Church, 2717 E Hampshire St. A 2 p.m. matinée on Sunday, Oct. 9 includes a talkback; other shows start at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13 is pay-what-you-can. For tickets, call 414-961-6119 or visit gigantequorum.brownpapertickets.com.

Contrary to the title of her latest album, Sheffield singer-songwriter,Nat Johnson is not Neighbour of the Year.
In fact, she is a noisy neighbour – rehearsing and playing the same track over and over again.
Nat says: "I'm not a good neighbour.
"I wrote the album in my house and the walls between us and our neighbour are pretty thin, so whenever I'm writing or rehearsing I know I can be heard.
Decibel levels aside, however, Neighbour of the Year was a hard album to write.
She says: "Neighbour of the Year deals with the cycle of anxiety as I experience it. It was written throughout a particular period of time in which I became unwell due to anxiety, before eventually coming out the other side.
Just as life started to feel as if it was slipping out of control, she started to write.
The result is seven songs, starting with Not Now, Horse. "That's where I'm trying to build up my defences," she says. "Then March, where I'm feeling more helpless, before the low point of I've Been Shot, which is how I feel at my worst.
"I Can't See You deals with panic attacks and finding the will to mend myself.
"Things start to brighten with the title track, where I analyse things more bravely, then the sun really comes out with Dog, as I found strength at that time from taking some great walks in our lovely city's green spaces.
"Finally there's Shelter, in which I look back over that year in gratitude to the support of my husband and home.

Jonathan Adair, smeknamn Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair född 27 oktober 1963 i Belfast, Nordirland, är före detta ledare för C Company (i stadsdelen Glenbryn) i paramilitära lojalistiska Ulster Freedom Fighters, en del av Ulster Defence Association. Adair blev utesluten efter en internkonflikt som uppstod då han började med knarkaffärer och bröt mot vapenvilan som gruppen slutit.

Den 23 oktober 1993 utförde IRA-männen Thomas Begley och Sean Kelly ett bombdåd mitt på unionistiska Shankill Road och dödade nio personer. Begley dog också i attacken. Men deras mål var ett möte mellan ledare för Ulster Freedom Fighters (fristående del av Ulster Defence Association) och Ulster Defence Association. Johnny Adair var en av ledarna de försöker mörda.

År 1995 hade Royal Ulster Constabulary Adair under bevakning och grep honom för terrorism. Han dömdes till 14 år i Mazefängelset för att ha beordrat 40 mord.  År 1998 fick han amnesti efter Långfredagsavtalet som Ulster Defence Association skrivit på.

År 2002 blev han inblandad i knarkaffärer och han startade även en blodig konflikt med en annan lojalistisk paramilitär grupp, Loyalist Volunteer Force. Hans bror startade Holy Cross-kravallerna. Till slut fick Ulster Defence Association nog och uteslöt honom.

I maj 2006 fick Adair £100 000 från John Blake för rättigheterna till Adairs biografi. Boken Mad Dog, skriven av Graham McKendry, kom ut 2007 ()

I love super simple recipes and just decided to work with what I needed to use up tonight. I have a ton of broccoli so I started with that and decided to use it with pasta, beans and feta cheese. It was sooo easy too! Just cook pasta, add rinsed off beans and feta cheese. Serve with broccoli "cooked" in microwave. I add a glass of water in the micro with the broccoli so they are lightly steamed.
When I got home from the airport I was starving! It was close to 3pm and I hadn't eaten lunch. I considered just having a snack and going for a run, but I was shaky so I decided to eat. I made salmon salad, with carrots and grapes. I also ate some crackers and spreadable cheese.
Then, I went for an afternoon run. It was rough. I got through 4 miles, and I'm happy with that. For some reason my body just doesn't like to run after 10am. I've tried it a few times and every time I feel super stiff and it's harder. Oh, and the salmon burps made me feel like I had to barf. Sick. Sorry.
When I got back I had a bowl of cereal and some choc PB (no pic).
Now I am watching The Office. Pam and Jim are getting married so Ben and I are watching it together because we feel like we just got married yesterday.
On the plane I ate some Pop Chips too 🙂 I was super hungry at this point and probably should have eaten a real meal.
Oh yes. I love the Ronzoni Healthy Harvest!
i, too, prefer running in the mornings.. just gets it out of the way for me!
Easy recipes are necessary for me. I don't have a lot of time so if it takes forever to make you can probably forget it!
Glad you made it home safe!!!

Jason McCourty on the roster bubble in New England
Getty Images When defensive back Jason McCourty was traded to the Patriots this offseason, there were a lot of feel-good stories about how he'd have a chance to play with his brother Devin, and to play for a ring after spending most of his career on bad teams.
But so far in training camp things aren't looking great for McCourty.
McCourty has been working mostly with the backups and is currently on the roster bubble, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.
Part of McCourty's problem is how well undrafted rookie defensive back J.C. Jackson has played in camp.
Jackson, a very talented player who was undrafted because of off-field issues that saw him get kicked off the team at Florida before finishing his career at Maryland, has exceeded expectations.
If he makes the team, that's one fewer roster spot for a veteran defensive back, and McCourty could be the odd man out.
The Patriots didn't give up much to acquire McCourty, sending the 205th pick in the draft to Cleveland for McCourty and the 219th pick.
Given that, it shouldn't be a big surprise if McCourty is gone by the time the season starts.

OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Discussion of treatment goals between oncologists and patients is challenging. Patients frequently misunderstand goals of therapy. There are several methods to document goals of chemotherapy, however, and are frequently not incorporated into patient charts.
METHODS/DESIGN: Cancer patients receiving their first cycle of chemotherapy were interviewed. Patients' recall of discussions with their oncologist regarding therapy intent was assessed and compared to documentation. An adjusted McNemar's test was utilised. A one-sample proportion test was used to evaluate whether the overall observed rate of discordance was significantly different from the proposed 33% rate; a rate posited as a threshold too high in the clinical sense.
RESULTS: Two hundred and seven eligible patients were interviewed. Oncologist identified treatment goals were not documented in 24.6% of cases and had to be excluded. There was not a significant difference in the directionality of discordance present. Inter-rater agreement between patient and oncologist was found to be adequate (κ = 0.64). The overall rate of discordance (17.29%) was found to be significantly less than the proposed acceptable level of 33% (p < 0.01). Upon univariable analysis, age, gender, marital and employment status were not found to be associated with discordance.
CONCLUSIONS: Discordance between treatment goals documentation and their understanding exists, indicating continued miscommunication between the patient and oncologist.
