after so many shows and series, there's enough 'toys' to help them out of just about any situation.
On a different note...
If in hyperspace, a ship cannot affect things in normal space... why would things in normal space affect a ship in hyperspace? Like if you set a collision course with a stationary ship and jumped to hyperspace, would you collide with it?
-----------------------(Normal space)-----------------------
_____________________(subspace)___________________ ____
So a ship enters and goes through subspace
a ship goes into subspace and is moving a long, now the reason why it cant affect anything out of hyperspace is purely cuz energy weapons move at speed of light and the ship is moving faster, ie, try going fast in a car and spitting out the sun roof straight, what will happen is you will end up running into said spit and it smacks you in the face. Same diea with energy weapons except getting grossed otu would be the elast fo your problems.
The only way something in normal space could affect you is if it entered subspace.
Spit has mass, weight, and resistance (air)
In Space, your weapon would be imparted with the velocity of your ship IN ADDITION to the velocity of it's own exit from the ship. Then, since there's no real resistance in space, it should keep going.
There is that idea, but imagine space being an environment where normal physics and everything we see applies as normal. However, we have slow space (water) and fast space (air). Now imagine our ships are fish... and we can jump out of water but we need hyperdrive 'wings' in order to remain in the faster space... and things that exist in slow space may or may not extend into fast space. So a land mass could be like a planet, but you can jump to fast space and fly over it...
the thing Im wondering is if anyone has described what there is in normal space that also extends into any subspace, underspace, hyperspace, etc. It could be a ship could duck out of normal space, and have a straight shot to anywhere without worrying about most things that exist in normal space, unless the physics extend into hyperspace, like a powerful enough gravity pull could actually stretch spacetime, extending into an underspace. A ship traveling close enough to it or slow enough to it, risks that gravity sucking you back into normal space... and you'd find yourself caught in the gravity of a star or black hole or something.
Kind of an intriguing concept of whether matter would extend into an underspace. I mean, say hyperspace is an alternate space you can only get to by jumping to faster than light speed... nothing else traveling fast enough should exist there. Subspace corridors or transwarp conduits - do they really curve around obstacles? If those paths are actually routes along warped or folded space, then most things that exist in normal space would need to be sucked in like through a black hole or other entry point. And then the other thought I had was how slow could you cruise, and could you actually stop while in route to some distant area of the galaxy, and just 'sit' in a corridor, perhaps hiding from any ship that was searching for you? Kinda like ships on the ocean hunting for a sub.
But yeah, SW has hyperspace... ST has underspace, subspace, conduits and corridors... pretty much every theoretical alternate space, reality, dimension, etc. Well pretty much the Borg are the species most likely to have the tech to open passages thru such alternate regions of space. And where SW might be really fast a plane that can cruise slowly atop the water or jump into the air and haul ass... ST would be the submarines which can travel across the same plane of water, faster and more stable or just duck under water and hide. (well speeds and distances don't match for this example but you get what Im sayin.)

2.i am not an expert in SW hyperspace, but i think objects in hyperspace can and do affect normal space objects (they can ramm stuff and colide with interstelar objects). however the effects of such colisions (fatal as they are to the ships) on the general surroundings aredifficult to quantify because of the imaginary element of the object's mass.
2. I was hoping you'd sit and ponder some of that hyper sub underspace stuff but whatever.
For what its worth, if something without a hyperdrive cannot jump to this alternate layer of space, and they cannot exist in this layer of space, then you shouldn't collide with it, OR, the hyperspace deal is crap, its just normal space at a hyper or FTL speed and the whole physics that should apply but can't are the reason they opted for an alternate space idea... OR things that exist in real space also exist in hyperspace without a need for a hyperdrive, and the statement about affecting a ship while in hyperspace wasn't completely accurate.
The statement about ships not being able to interact with things while in hyperspace... I don't remember the exact statement or details, but as it is stated to be the fastest FTL travel, there should be drawbacks for basing reason to dismiss it as a standard travel (other than the normal lack of real world fundamentals typical of SW) and probably disadvantages to using it. Right off hand... everytime a ship jumps, they consider it 'gone' like, there's always next time. I guess hyperspace isn't at all effective for chasing something...
2. actually i gave the idea quite some thought back in 1995, i am just not sure if my (and other people's) idea happenes to meet the facts in SW.
look at it this way. under "normal" conditions no phisical object can reach 1c because the process of acceleration would require an infinite force (because of the ever growing relativistic mass), ergo infinite energry to acomplish it. that means if an objects somehow is propeled to c (light speed) it would poses infinite relativistic mass. however for every speed above 1c the objects relativistic parameters become a square root of a negative number, or in mathematical terms, imainary numbers or numbers you get when you multiply a number by an imaginary 1 or i . so if you presume that the SW hyperdrive somehow "magicaly" transports the object into the i-area (hyperspace) it's mass would turn into "shadow" mass, virtual mass or imaginary mass, however you call it. this shadow mass would generate shadow gravity (which is what the interdictors in SW use to break ships out of hyperspace). now the only thing missing is the link with the real mass and gravity. how do they interact? in math there is no direct interaction betwean imaginary and real numbers unless in a form of complex numbers. but how does one interprate the complex value of a gravity well is beyond me. is there anyone here active that can help?
Also, under normal conditions - do you read that stuff somewhere or think through it yourself to develop theory and discuss it and junk? I'm sure you've heard of a gravity drive, right? Well probably more than you're aware of under other names, but the principles are the same.
An interesting but barely relevant video here http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9d...-revealed_tech
this just poped up, if my above rantings were/are true, then each object that entered hyperspace generate an "imaginary" mass/gravity then the relation betwean this field and the real gravity fields that suround it would form a complex number. complex numbers can be described as vectors, or dynamics betwean the imaginary and the real component. so when your Milenium Falcon enters hyperspace the computer calculates the path and the required parameters for the imaginary component depending on the real astral objects that it needs to fly near (or within their grav well). so if as you fly on your way, those parameters suddenly change (eighter the real or the imaginary component or both) your hyper-vector would change, resulting in anything from spontanous drop in realspace to a cataclismic scatering of your ship all over the galaxy. or ending up inside a nova. use your imagination. so maybe, just maybe, the hyperdrive is constructed to automaticaly shut down when such unexepeted/uncalculated event ocur. ergo, the use of mass shadows would result in spontanous exits out of hyperspace. same would go for unknown real astrall objects near your trajectory that were not accounted for before. come to think of it, a strong enough imaginary gravity field of adaptible configuration should neautralise any use the hyperdrive by supresing/nullify it's "i" generation capability.
as for the warp drive based on real life phisics, google for alcubierre drive. it is a very similar concept of what trek dubs warp.
After reading the end again, finally a clue to what all this scientific stuff is in reference to... crashing or dropping out of hyperspace? Well yeah. They'd need like some serious astrometrics lab data to know where stuff is, so hyperdrive computers know where all the obstacles are. you tell it I need to go from point A to point B, and if some anomoly is along that path that was not compensated for, the drive stalls or the ship crashes, possibly both. lol I'm sure some SW writers tried adding all kinds of detection crap to make it a safe journey but I'd say thats bullshit. I don't buy it, like they could just 'sit' in hyperspace to analyze stuff and invent safeties and precautions and all that. Its basically, "here we are, here's the shit we don't wanna hit, plot us a safe trajectory, and off we go, no turning back, hold your breath and start praying... in fact, stand perfectly still, I dont want too much weight shifting around, you might accidentally steer us off course or some shit"
So that much I can accept, and how the drive works is clear enough, but I was pondering hyper'space' itself, which would be completely theoretical fiction except for logically disproving how lame it is in the first place. First, what IS it that makes hyper 'space' faster than normal 'space'. For instance, traveling low altitude vs high altitude, less wind resistance, a logical reason its faster. I guess I'll start by researching again what underspace, wormholes, corridors and conduits are... which likely have a clear reason why they are faster. I simply don't think I'll find an understanding if there's even any suggestion that hyperspace is at all different or faster or its just some term referring to the method of travel.

Quantum Slipstream Drive: "In its first test by the Voyager crew, the Dauntless traveled fifteen light years in barely five minutes; this translates into about 1.6 million times the speed of light."
Transwarp conduits — regions in subspace that facilitate travel at velocities up to 20 times those of conventional warp drives. -wiki
How's this in comparison to Star Wars giddy-up speeds? ...anyway
The Slipstream is a narrowly-focused, directed warp field that is initiated by manipulating the fabric of the space-time continuum at the quantum level. It works by focusing a quantum field through a deflector dish to generate massive changes in local space curvature; this creates a subspace tunnel, which is projected in front of the vessel. Once a ship has entered this tunnel, the forces inside propel it at incredible speed.
Transwarp Conduit: Artificial construct that could be used to achieve faster-than-light travel, in a similar fashion to a wormhole.
Underspace: A network of subspace corridors that extend through a large area of the Delta Quadrant.
So are there any others Im missing? I think probably. But again, I still wonder how much of normal space matter extends into subspace, wormholes, and conduits, and if they have to worry about obstacles and junk like hyperspace travel. Another thing I am unsure of is what navigational limitations there are. 3rd, how direct are the routes, like if its anything like freeways that have exits near known inhabited systems, popular landmarks, and weigh stations... or if they just put signs along the way for every rest stop and camp ground. LOL

Really can't say much on hyperspace and it's navigational routes as most of the warsies I know of constantly contradict themselves. One side saying it is another dimensional realm and the other saying it is just a term for how the universe looks like at superluminal velocities. If it is the latter, how the hell do they overcome the laws of relativity? Im just a high school student but I am fully aware that unless they are magically reducing mass or time, they can't exceed the speed of light in a physical plane. And they say that warp is crazier than that.
As far as I can tell with warp, it overcomes relativity in a similar way to the alcubierre drive by manipulating space time in a limited way to create a warp field. I believe that ST's drive is only different as it uses subspace as a intermediate medium for spatial manipulation while the alcubierre drive acts upon space directly.
Oh, but what it doesnt say, (unless somebody purposely left it out,) is you have to use a Stablizing Audio Inversifier so everything won't sound like a cassette tape playing in fast forward, and also a Permeating Dark Force Repulsor Array so Vader cant 'felt his pressence.'
2. actually if my ranting is correct, then the very nature of hyperspace or c+ motion induced space is by very nature superluminal. not that just an object that enters it goes past light speed, but that object once pass the magical barrier that is 1c finds it more easy to go faster then slower (i.e. firing your thrusters would slow you down). there are other even more kinky implications, some of which require more effort to explain (such as the superluminal flow of time) but i do not even try to go there.
as for the logic of the problem, it is not any more "impossible" or contradictory then the warp or Alcubierre drive. all require some magical
trinket in order to work. hyperdrive requires means of getting past 1c, warp requires FTL transfer of information within the field geometry itself.
That's so Emma & Julia...
I wasn't really concerned with the speed involved or how you can get to C+ whatever equals G... or whatever alphanumeric mumbo jumbo fits. I just wanted to know if this is an alternate space with any different physics or if hyperspace is just a term used for this FTL travel speed. We already know the means of achieving FTL is fictional or theoretical. The reason for bringing it up is simply to get an understanding of the advantages of this method over warp, slipstream, and subspace. If hyperspace is an alternate 'theortical or fictional' realm of space, then my question is about why they say they can't interact with ships on normal space and vice versa.

Was lied to and sold a bunch of dreams and also looked forward to a better look and was dissapointed.i wish that doctors would be more up front and say look it wont look this way instead of boosting your exspectations but i am always searching to find that doctor who can get rid of this tosis so a lesson well learned..i will do my
research but wont stop looking
research but wont stop looking
His staff is nice he is cool his office is very nice always on time with callsand appointments.I was referred by steven prendeville because I went to him for consultation and he didn't handle congenital ptosis.

It takes at least 6 months for things to settle. Don't be depressed yet! Bartlett is right; if your eye seems smaller it may be in part due to swelling in the lid.
- Reply
Swelling (edema) takes a year and a half to disappear.
- Reply
After 8 weeks the eyes "open" up considerably due to receding swelling, however, the eyes are so delicate that it can take up to 2 years to be considered fully healed. As time passes, the changes are considerable.
- Reply
Well looking at videos and doing research I found people who eyes were worse and they were finish two months three months nows I have loose eyelid skin and my eye appears smaller and my shape has changed and also if thts the case why p.s say after three months you have to pay for the surgery over if it a long process???
- Reply
good question.
- Reply
It doesn't seem fair to have to repay for the surgery after only three months. Especially since I don't think most plastic surgeons will consider a revision until at least six months after surgery. I had my revision a little over 5 months after the initial surgery and I didn't have to pay for a thing. My PS said any revisions/touch ups would be free for the first year.

Well at least he gave u a year mines said after three months I dnt get why he said three months if most revsion takes five months

A blog about Learning, about Education, about transformation, about change, about youth voice, about democratic human centered education. I am trying to ask the question "Why we educate" and what my answer means to me as a teacher and how my role shapes society and the whole.
We get it, you are better than us! You can spell, you can put words and commas in the right place! That in and of itself does not make you a god or even a good teacher. I am tired of people dismissing someone's thoughts and ideas because of their "diction" or their "grammar".
It is bullying. It is plain rude, and it honestly it makes you look bad.
I stop listening to you the minute you become the grammar police!
Teaching is not correcting grammar, or spelling…or making judgements on people's worth.

By now, we all now that Pfc. Bradley Manning, who was sentenced to 35 years on Aug. 21 for leaking classified U.S. government documents, would like to enter the next phase of her life as a woman named Chelsea [1]. "I want everyone to know the real me," Manning said in a statement. "I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female."
But the message on gender identity wasn't Manning's only public statement the day the sentencing was decided. There was also this [2], a heartfelt explanation of why the whistleblower did what she did, titled, "Sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society." Manning writes:
"It was not until I was in Iraq and reading secret military reports on a daily basis that I started to question the morality of what we were doing. It was at this time I realized in our efforts to meet this risk posed to us by the enemy, we have forgotten our humanity. We consciously elected to devalue human life both in Iraq and Afghanistan. When we engaged those that we perceived were the enemy, we sometimes killed innocent civilians. Whenever we killed innocent civilians, instead of accepting responsibility for our conduct, we elected to hide behind the veil of national security and classified information in order to avoid any public accountability."
Meanwhile, Bay Area supporters who rallied for Manning at the San Francisco Pride Parade [3] and every other juncture – including attending the trial in Fort Meade [4], gathering on the day verdict was announced [5] and most recently launching a campaign calling for the WikiLeaker's pardon [6] – also gathered at Justin Hermann Plaza Aug. 21 in response to the sentence.
The SFPD and CCTV
Yesterday, we told you about CommunityCam [7], a new online mapping platform that displays surveillance camera locations throughout San Francisco. We'd placed a phone call to Sgt. Dennis Toomer of the San Francisco Police Department's Media Relations Unit to ask whether SFPD has an eye toward collaboration on this effort, but didn't hear back until after publishing the post. In a voice message, Toomer explained the manner in which SFPD utilizes CCTV footage to investigate crimes. He said:
"The SFPD does not own or operate any [permanently installed] cameras. There are some cameras throughout the city, but those are operated by the Department of Emergency Management. Consequently, we don't monitor cameras either. At events like the Pride Parade, Bay to Breakers, we have put up our own cameras along the parade routes, or along the race routes, just for the purpose of deploying resources.
"As soon as the event is over, those cameras come back down, and we don't store any kind of video footage. What we do is, we rely on the public, the commercial businesses, banks, stores, you name it, to provide us with video if a crime occurs in that area – but it's not something that we monitor. We ask the public to provide us with any kind of video tape, or cameras or surveillance that they operate. We don't maintain our own system. Again, the city cameras that are around in certain areas – like the Tenderloin, Bayview, I believe out in Ingleside – those are all operated and managed by DEM."
Where the Uber meets the road
We recently reported that Uber, the smartphone-enabled ride service that does not wish to be lumped in with rideshares or taxis, is facing a class action lawsuit [8] from drivers who claim they were cheated out of hard-earned tips.
Uber spokesperson Andrew Noyes initially declined to comment, but has since emailed an official response (which does not actually contain any answers to the Guardian's questions). Here is what Noyes had to say about the lawsuit, which Uber has not yet received:
"While we have not yet been served with this complaint, the allegations made against our company are entirely without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously. Uber values its partners above all else and our technology platform has allowed thousands of drivers to generate an independent wage and build their own small businesses on their own time. Frivolous lawsuits like this cost valuable time, money and resources that are better spent making cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and providing more business for drivers."

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Colorectal Cancer Prevention (PDQ®): Prevention - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Description of the Evidence
A large cohort study found a dose-response relationship between alcohol intake and death from CRC, with a RR of 1.2 (95% CI, 1.0–1.5) for four or more drinks per day compared with nondrinkers.[19]
Cigarette smoking
Most case-control studies of cigarette exposure and adenomas have found an elevated risk for smokers.[20] In addition, a significantly increased risk of adenoma recurrence following polypectomy has been associated with smoking in both men and women.[20] In the Nurses' Health Study, the minimum induction period for cancer appears to be at least 35 years.[21] Similarly, in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, a history of smoking was associated with both small and large adenomas and with a long induction period of at least 35 years for CRC.[22] In the Cancer Prevention Study II (CPS II), a large nationwide cohort study, multivariate-adjusted CRC mortality rates were highest among current smokers, intermediate among former smokers, and lowest in nonsmokers, with increased risk observed after 20 or more years of smoking in men and women combined.[23] On the basis of CPS II data, it was estimated that 12% of CRC deaths in the U.S. population in 1997 were attributable to smoking. A large population-based cohort study of Swedish twins found that heavy smoking of 35 or more years' duration was associated with a nearly threefold increased risk of developing colon cancer, though subsite analysis found a statistically significant effect only for rectal but not colon cancer.[24] Another large population-based case-control study supports the view that current tobacco use and tobacco use within the last 10 years is associated with colon cancer. A 50% increase in risk was associated with smoking more than a pack a day relative to never smoking.[25] However, a 28-year follow-up of 57,000 Finns showed no association between the development of CRC and baseline smoking status, though there was a 57% to 71% increased risk in persistent smokers.[26] No relationship was found between cigarette smoking, even smoking of long duration, and recurrence of adenomas in a population followed for 4 years after initial colonoscopy.[27]
A meta-analysis of 106 observational studies found a RR (ever smokers compared with nonsmokers) for CRC incidence of 1.18 (95% CI, 1.11–1.25), with an absolute risk increase of 10.8 cases per 100,000 person-years (95% CI, 7.9–13.6). There was a statistically significant dose-response effect. In 17 studies with data on CRC mortality, cigarette smoking was associated with CRC death, with a RR (ever smokers vs. never smokers) of 1.25 (95% CI, 1.14–1.37), and an absolute increase in the death rate of 6.0 deaths per 100,000 person-years. For both incidence and mortality, the association was stronger for rectal cancer than for colon cancer.[28]

Things are steaming ahead full force at Future Now, worker bees are humming around, and Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg are flying all over the country doing presentations on Persuasion Architecture and answering interviewers questions about the book.
Waiting for Your Cat to Bark will be officially released on Tuesday June 13th. Already reviews are starting to come in. Like this one at over at ICE "Improving Customer Experience".
Seen any reviews of the book? We'd like to know about 'em.
Waiting for Your Cat to Bark Review
In 'Waiting for Your Cat to Bark', Bryan Jeffrey Eisenberg with Lisa Davis have delivered the manifesto for the next 10 or 20 years of online marketing. In this brief yet sweeping book they convincingly argue that marketing…
I listened to Jeffrey Eisenberg today on Ronn Owens' program in San Francisco with great interest and enthusiasm.
Most of all, I really appreciated hearing his comments on the connection between technology and the human element. As a manager in Silicon Valley, I have found it imperative to emphasize to both high-tech executives and workers that behind all this gadgetry, it's all about the individual who connects to your site.
And seduction is not a dirty word. I'm very excited by these insights, and hope the Eisenberg brothers spread this nationally and globally too.

I liked the lobby. Water pressure in shower was amazing.
It was old. My room smelled damp the whole time I went to walgreens to buy fabreeze. The carpet was torn and tatty looking. The sink had a visible crack in it. On my last day when I turned the knob it came off. Ironing board had stains on it. Hotel just really needs a makeover and move into the 20th century of amenities at least.
I don't understand why the shower liners are stained and the towels old, ratty and stained.

They made us wait for almost 2 hours for check-in. The did not let us check-in before 3pm. This is long time considering we did not see many people checking in during the 2 hours we waited in the lobby.We found the person at the front desk a bit rude. When we inquired couple of times about how long more before we can get the room, he kept reminding us that the check-in time is 3pm. Even after waiting that long, we were not offered any drinks or food or a room on a higher floor or anything else which we have experienced in other 4 or 5 star hotels. Couple of things which the hotel can improve on is the A/C which does not cool for hours and the rooms look like a 2 star hotel with torn and scratched wall paper. The beds were comfortable so no complaints. The internet connection in our room was bad. The connection would keep dropping every 10 mins. But they did remove the charges for it when we checked out.

We will keep you informed and share information about our rights as union members. We will have online discussions about our true rights in the work place and share information as it pertain to us.
Our goal is to bring back the strong union presence to the labor movement by educating the members. Many has fought and died for our right to organize for job security including a fair and impartial working environment and decent wages. The so-called labor leaders have sold us out to management and corporate Greed. While the world moves forward economically and socially , the livelihood of the American working class, has gravely diminished while so-called labor leaders has and continue to live out the true American dream of Financial, Medical and social stability.
The union leadership has and continues to work hard to keep us divided for the purpose of keeping us ignorant to our true power we have when we come together. It is our goal to reunite the membership and empower each and every one of us with the desire and faith that we can and will prevail against unfair labor practices.
I Jakwan Rivers pledge that forever more that A.M.F.C will always keep the interest of the members completely first.
The working class helped build this great Country and we will be part of its growth!
We will not be intimidated by our own union leadership
Jakwan Rivers is a man on a mission. He is a labor and community activist who has worked for more than two decades standing up for the rights of disenfranchised workers and under served people of New York.
Rivers has been a devoted member of Teamsters Local 237 for 20 years. He will run for President of Teamsters 237 in the upcoming 2014 election. Rivers is currently a shop steward at the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). As a shop steward he diligently represents many Local 237 members and assists them with a vast array of work-related issues.
Jakwan Rivers is well known throughout NYCHA and other divisions of Local 237 as a rank and file member of the union who is passionate about helping members in crises. Rivers was appointed by Local 237 President Carroll Haynes to serve as a key liaison between the union and over 1,270 members within the New York City Housing Authority. He was also a member of Local 237's Contract Negotiation Committee, where he worked tirelessly on several contracts to enhance wages and benefits for Local 237.
The Local 237 Executive Board appointed Rivers to the position of Business Agent. In this capacity, he represented over 1,500 members in several different job titles. Rivers established a reputation as a dynamic leader who members could rely on twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Over the years Rivers have continued to educate and provide guidance to working class people across the city. He has stepped up to be the voice for working class New Yorkers.

Wow, had a whole reply typed and then Tumblr erased it. Sorry.
This is a problem with many sites. They won't address the racism because they don't want to be seen as "censoring" people there. And in most cases, they won't even get involved.
I think the best you can do is to keep trying to educate people no matter what. You may not change the whole site in one day, but you might make it through to a few of them.
Thanks, and good luck!
feel free to tumblr bomb her FB page
Let's shut this racist down.
Thanks so much. It's really nice to hear something positive among all the ignorant, ranting hate mail. ^_^
I think if something is given to you as a gift by someone of that culture, then they mean for you to have it. If a Native or First Nation person gives you a headdress, it should be fine to keep it. But you're correct, wearing it would not be appropriate. Good question. :)
No. Because racism is about power and oppression, and it is impossible for white people to be systematically oppressed. Also, these people are stupid. Calling them stupid is not racism.
For example, your question to me is stunningly ignorant and privileged. There! I just told you the truth, and it wasn't racist!


text: Bill began developing his approach to song and recording in 1986. "Fewer People More Trees" collects solo and collaborative recordings from between 1991 and 1995. Bill recorded his first solo album, "The Bathroom Mirror," in 1997 on a portable Walkman recorder. "Tangerine," also released in 1997, collected a number of 4-track recordings of songs from between 1989 and 1994 almost exclusively unused in other collaborations and never played live. There is no better home-taped, 4-track cassette album than 1998's "The Duck Hunter." "Building St. Petersburg," recorded in 1999, has been likened to a series short films in song form. A sympathetic editor compiled "Seventeen Miles Past Indio" from Bill's catalogue and archives in 2003. The ten songs on 2004's "Chevy w/Balding Tires" concentrated every musical and lyrical technique Bill had developed in the preceding years into a single document. Bill originally intended "On Every Step of Our Stair" to be the final song on "Chevy" but it took too long to finish, reaching completion in 2005. "Begging Bowl" collected seven songs written in Dakar, Lyon, and California and recorded in 2007. One day's recording in 2009 produced "Adieu, False Heart," songs for which were written over the two years prior. Bill performed songs from his work-in-progress at a house concert at Gopher Preserve, San Diego, in February, 2014. Recording proceeds apace as of June, 2014. A preliminary mix of the most recently completed track is available above.

The Dance Space, a new build in Brighton, will provide a dedicated space for dance in the heart of the City. It is due to open in 2017.
South East Dance is on a mission to get even more people involved in and excited about dance. To make this happen, we want to ensure the best dance by the most talented artists gets made and that local people have greater opportunities to get actively involved with dance.
Update: 08 September 2014 - There is still time to help support the regeneration of a derelict part of Brighton and Hove
Huge thanks to everyone who has written to the council in support of our planning application. Great news, the scheme is being heard at Committee on the 17th September. If you haven't already we'd be grateful if you could pledge your support for the proposed Circus Street development.
The scheme will create nearly 400 jobs, contribute £200m to Brighton & Hove's growing economy over the next 10 years and kick start regeneration of the wider area.
To support the regeneration you can write to Brighton & Hove City Council quoting planning application ref: BH2013/03461 to:
Mick Anson,
Planning Department,
Brighton & Hove City Council,
Kings House, Grand Avenue, Hove,
You can also voice your support online by clicking this link. Select the button labelled Comments, click support the planning application button and leave a comment.

Update: 03 July 2014 - South East Dance - on course to help improve lives though dance
South East Dance is delighted to report that recent funding success will enable it to continue to lead innovative dance projects in Brighton's Circus Street over the next two years, helping to improve the emotional and physical wellbeing of people in one of the country's most deprived wards. Click here to read the full Press Release.
Update: 2 May 2014 - South East Dance and Brighton Festival bring choreographic artwork to Circus street Market
Throughout May the derelict Circus Street Market site near Grand Parade will play host to unique choreographic art installation Nowhere and Everywhere At the Same Time No. 2 by internationally acclaimed American choreographer William Forsythe. Co-programmed by South East Dance as part of Brighton Festival, the work will be installed between 3-25 May at Circus Street Market, the landmark site destined to become The Dance Space, a new home for dance in the City with national significance.
Update: 17 April 2014 - Urban Playground thrill audiences at Circus Street
Crowds were thrilled by a spectacular Parkour dance performance yesterday at Circus Street Market by Brighton dance company Urban Playground, funded by Cathedral Group and McLaren and organised by South East Dance. The event was part of an ongoing programme of activity by South East Dance aiming to bring world-class dance artists together with local communities.
Urban Playground also managed workshops over the past two days with over 50 local people, including adults and children from the neighbouring Tarner community, learning exciting dance moves in the extraordinary 'urban decay' setting of the old market building.
Update: 26 February 2014 - We celebrate funding success!
We are absolutely delighted to confirm that our Stage Two Capital funding application to Arts Council England towards developing The Dance Space has been successful. This means our vision to create an internationally recognised centre for choreographic research, creation and engagement in Brighton, one of the UK's most creative cities, is on track to becoming a reality. Click here to read the full news release and reaction from some of our supporters.
Update: 17 January 2014 - Expressions of support - add your voice now!
Plans have been submitted for consideration to Brighton & Hove Council's Planning Committee to transform the derelict municipal market building site in Circus Street. The Dance Space sits at the heart of this regeneration project and as we move closer towards the expected planning permission decision date at the end of March, your expressions of support made directly to the Planning Department are extremely important as they can help make The Dance Space a reality.

'What has been clear since our arrival in the City is the contrast between the amazing amount of artists and projects and the desperate lack of professional studios in which to rehearse and create productions, or lead projects involving the local community. All too often, projects that would greatly benefit the professional dance scene and community in Brighton have been forced to relocate to London or elsewhere. We very much hope that The Dance Space will soon be a thriving home to dance and a visible demonstration of the excellent work that is already taking place.'
Hofesh Shechter, Choreographer
'I have been incredibly impressed with the work South East Dance has undertaken to engage communities in dance, in particular young people and the 60+ age group to increase awareness of the health and wellbeing benefits of dance. The Dance Space would be a huge asset to the City and will build on the reputation that Brighton and Hove has as a centre for creative arts and industry.'
Dr Caroline Lucas, MP FOR Brighton Pavilion and former leader of the Green Party
To achieve this, the conditions have to be right. Our vision is to create an internationally recognised centre for choreographic research, creation and engagement to inspire and excite professional artists and bring them closer to local communities living in the City, the South East and beyond.
We want to create The Dance Space, the first dedicated live/work space for dance in the UK. With a dedicated space we will have a home, a hub and a place for people to gather, to dance and to co-create.
'We, the artists, dance makers, company directors and all round innovators of contemporary dance can hardly wait for this new space to exist in our city. The Brighton dance scene can finally thrive, come out from behind closed doors and be enjoyed by all'
Antonia Grove, South East Dance Associate Artist
The current lack of creation space in Brighton is causing at least £1.2million to leak from the city economy every year. 68% of dance professionals are forced to work elsewhere and local people struggle to find appropriate space where they can cultivate their passion for dance. So, we want to build a new home for dance in the heart of the City.
'Brighton & Hove has one of the most vibrant dance communities in the UK but lacks a vital component to ensure this community is able to grow and reach its international potential. The Dance Space would fill that gap in the City'
Andrew Comben, Chief Executive, Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival

Update: 19 December 2013 - ZoieLogic Dance Theatre wow Circus Street
ZoieLogic Dance Theatre wowed local festival goers at the Circus Street Winterland Festival last week. To see some photo's and footage from the event please visit our blog.
Update: 12 December 2013 - Winterland Festival featuring ZoieLogic Dance Theatre on Saturday 14 December
In November 2013 Cathedral opened up the Circus Street municipal market space for the community to use. The opening of the building in the interim aims to enliven the space again and get people used to being in and using this part of the city and also to make the most of the extraordinary old warehouse building. South East Dance will be contributing to this activity by programming a series of dance performances and installations in the space, with opportunities to be entertained, to take part, and to celebrate and share the history and new beginnings for this site.
Coming up very soon:
A programme of public events begins with Circus Street Winterland on Saturday 14 December, a FREE festival for people in Brighton & Hove. An alternative Santa's grotto is planned, along with food stalls by Street Diner, dance and circus acts and an Alice in Wonderland Imaginarium. South East Dance has programmed the brilliant ZoieLogic Dance Theatre to perform MurMur, a radical duet that packs a punch, challenges perceptions, and stuns audiences with its sheer physicality. You can watch the live performance at 1pm, 3pm or 5pm. In 2014, look out for more dance in the space from the likes of The Urban Playground, internationally renowned free running and parkour specialists, previously commissioned by South East Dance. Urban Playground will take over Circus Street on 14 April for a day packed with free workshops and a performance which will see the return of their slapstick antics. Visit http://circusstreetbrighton.com/
Update: 14 October 2013 - Plans in for The Dance Space and wider Circus Street development
We are very pleased to share news that the planning application for the Circus Street Market development, which includes The Dance Space, has now been submitted to Council Planners by developers Cathedral Group in partnership with McLaren Property. Brighton & Hove City Council will shortly open a statutory consultation of the planning application, inviting the public and stakeholders to comment; the developers hope the scheme will be approved by Planning Committee early next year.

Update: 1 October 2012 - Gathering momentum
Update: 29 March 2012 - Funding bid success
South East Dance has been successful in its stage one bid to Arts Council England (ACE) for £925,000 to support the development of The Dance Space, part of an innovative public/private partnership driven by Brighton and Hove City Council and Cathedral Group PLC. ACE's investment follows the good news that revised heads of terms for the Circus Street development, where The Dance Space will be housed, were agreed by Brighton and Hove City Council, University of Brighton and Cathedral Group in February.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
Dwight Howard isn't known for his skills on offense. It basically consists of being able to get the ball low on the block and dunking or performing the Mikan Drill. Howard is so bad as a shooter that he actually lost a FT and 3pt-shooting contest to the mascot for the Los Angeles Kings. Yes, a hockey mascot. But last night, Howard actually connected on his second three-pointer of his career.
The late triple in the Lakers win over the visiting Nuggets helped the team tie a franchise-record 17 in one game. The Mike D'Anonti offense is really starting to take shape. But don't expect Dwight to be hanging around the arc the rest of this season.
