A study of the strategic architecture of the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California, designed in 1951 and demolished in 2005. A detailed archival history tracks the reciprocal relation between the unique research culture at RAND—the epicenter of strategic military thought during the Cold War and the first truly interdisciplinary research model—and its physical architecture, designed (based on a memorandum written by a RAND mathematician) as a redundant matrix of corridors to maximize chance interactions among researchers and promote creative thinking. What lessons does the abstract, analytical process of RAND's design hold for contemporary practice? What does the story of the RAND headquarters tell us about the climate of strategic thought in the postwar period? The book addresses these questions in the conviction that the RAND headquarters hold an important and unrecognized place in the history of architecture in the second half of the 20th century.

The iconic luxury brand introduces hallmark butler service and celebrated traditions to historic St. George's
ST. GEORGE'S, BERMUDA, MAY 24, 2021 — St. Regis Hotels & Resorts today announced the opening of The St. Regis Bermuda Resort. Extending the legacy of St. Regis from New York's finest address of 55th and Fifth, the resort blends the timelessness of a bygone era with avant-garde Bermudian design and cultural influences. Situated in the historic Town of St. George's, an UNESCO World Heritage site, and nestled among the soft sands and turquoise water of St. Catherine's Beach, the resort is the first Marriott International luxury brand property to debut on the island. Drawing upon the celebrated spirit of leisure travel, The St. Regis Bermuda Resort seamlessly brings together elegant accommodations, exceptional amenities, and the brand's signature Butler Service to create an enchanted island escape.
"Bermuda has long served as an exclusive destination for the global luminaries, making it the ideal location to debut a glamorous new St. Regis resort. Much like the island, St. Regis is steeped in rich history, offering a storied past and exciting future," said George Fleck, Vice President and Global Brand Leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. "The St. Regis brand's founding family, the Astors, spent time on this beautiful island more than a century ago. Now, the House of Astor's celebrated traditions and rituals will bring this visionary spirit, avant-garde style and impeccable service back to Bermuda where our address is your muse."
Spanning St. Catherine's Beach in a gentle arc, the OBMI designed architecture and interiors of The St. Regis Bermuda Resort draw inspiration from the destination's notable local geography, heritage and traditions, beautifully weaving the island's legacy together with the glamourous spirit and sophistication of St. Regis. The resort features 120 elegant guestrooms, including 21suites and an ultra-luxury residential development offering two and three-bedroom residences.

The gorgeous German-carve design of Rickenbacker's 381 series was the brainchild of Roger Rossmeisl whose father was a jazz guitarist and luthier in Germany. Roger came to Rickenbacker in 1954 and had a great influence on Rickenbacker design, he was also responsible for the "slash" f-hole that is synonymous with Rickenbacker.
The carved maple top and back of the 381 create a deeper body while retaining the perennially futuristic body shape that's never gone out of style, the mark of truly iconic design. Equipped with a 12-saddle bridge and innovative headstock sporting a phalanx of tuning keys, the 381/12V69 can be dialed in for truly inspired tones up and down the neck – upper fret playing is mandolin-like and a powerful electric presence elsewhere on the shark-tooth decked fretboard . Two Toaster pickups range from deep harp-like shimmer to breaking glass treble, always articulate and surprisingly aggressive when overdriven, lending a unique voice to a band mix or recording without elbowing out the sonic qualities of other guitars or instruments – Tom Petty, the Byrds, and the Beatles are testament to this dynamic and many new bands are pickup up on the Rickenbacker sound.

Q: If you could shrink the moon to one meter radius, how much could you slow the moon down by and have it continue to orbit the earth? If the moon were shrunk to having a radius of one meter, without changing its distance (of the apogee) from the earth, what would be the slowest it could be slowed down to and still orbit the earth, albeit in a highly elliptical orbit? It shouldn't hit the earth. The speed at the apogee is what is sought. The apogee must be at 400,000 km from the earth, same as the moon's center is now.
The moon orbits the earth at close to one kilometer per second in a fairly round orbit. So the answer must be considerably less than that speed.
Someone better at math than me might be able to calculate it from the equations on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vis-viva_equation.
The lunar distance is approximately 400,000 km says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_distance_(astronomy)
The radius of the earth is approximately 6400 km says Wikipedia: "A globally-average value is usually considered to be 6,371 kilometre" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_radius.
The nearest to the surface of the earth that a one meter radius lump of moon rock could fly and stay in orbit, I estimate to be 100 km.

A: The size of a satellite does not matter for the period/velocity of its orbit.  In fact, as long as the mass is much lower than the planet's, the satellite's mass doesn't matter either.  So the moon would orbit at about the same speed if it was shrunk to 1 meter.

A: By making the Moon's orbit highly elliptical - in other words, by making the semi-major axis $a$ sufficiently large - you can make the Moon's velocity at apogee as small as you like, and its orbital period as large as you like. Since you can stretch the orbit in this way while keeping the perigee (the closest point to the Earth) the same as the current Earth-Moon distance, the size of the Moon is irrelevant.
(This, of course, treats the Earth-Moon as a two body system and ignores the effect of the Sun and other bodies in the Solar System)
Note: this answer was written in response to the original question, not the edited version which adds the constraint that apogee is unchanged.

A: Okay, so the answer is a fairly straight forward application of the Vis-viva equation.
So, since you want perigee to be (100+6400) km  and apogee to be 400000, hence the semi major axis becomes a = 1/2 * ( 6500 + 400000)= 203250 km
You want the velocity at apogee. so the distance to satellite, r = 400000 km
Put these values of a and r in the equation,
and you get v = 178.51 m/sec
Hence, you would need to slow moon down to about 178 m/sec at its apogee to have its orbit pass at a distance of 100 km to earth's surface .
This is of course under the assumptions of that equation which assumes there is negligible air friction at 100 km, but that may not be a valid assumption in this case.

A: Is what you're asking this? "What would be the orbital velocity at apogee of a point mass that has the moon's apogee but just barely misses the Earth at perigee?"
Then you can use the vis viva equation from the page you linked. The semi-major axis $a$ would be half of the sum of the lunar apogee and the Earth's radius (including your 100 km). Put in the apogee for $r$ to get your answer.
The equation is for "small" mass satellites so it would probably not be entirely accurate. I'm not sure where to go for a better approximation.

For recruiters and employers, managing time and tasks efficiently can be very important. Multiple contacts, opportunities, jobs to fill, and follow up items can all make up the "to-do" list. Resumes need to be reviewed and interviews with candidates need to be scheduled, prepared for and completed. There is also connecting with clients to update on finding and filling positions efforts. Plus, you have to update colleagues, supervisors and other teammates to ensure that clients are kept happy, work is completed, and ultimately, job opportunities are filled with the right person for the work. Employers may then have training sessions, annual or regular routine reviews of employee performances and ongoing team management.
You'll need to write cover letters, email correspondence, and potentially, coordinate references. Following up on potential opportunities and completed interviews are also in the mix for job seekers.
For both recruiters/employers and job seekers, staying on top of it all is important and can reflect on individuals and his or her work. It can be a challenge to do and maintain all these tasks, let alone do them well. Losing track of what has to be accomplished can mean missing potential leads, opportunities and connections.
1. Designate a notebook, white board or calendar for your tasks. Putting what you've got to do in one simple, easy to reach place is key. Not only will it designate a go-to place for what you need to get done, it'll help you better manage duties and while providing organization. Technology tools like Google documents or calendars can also be used if you prefer. There are also time management and list management apps downloadable to smart phones and tablets. It all depends on what works for you, but this is an important step in mastering your workload and to-do list.
2. Start at the top level. A top-level view of all you've got to do might seem overwhelming at first, but sitting down and making a list of all your requirements will make sure that nothing falls through the cracks or is forgotten. You'll be able to organize the list from here to make it less daunting.
3. Prioritize! After you've made your large "laundry list" of tasks you need to complete, organize them in terms of priority for completion. This will help you get a sense of what is urgent and needs to be taken care of right away and what you can put off for another time.
4. Create a plan. For each task you need to do, set a plan of attack as needed. By doing so for each item, you'll feel more in control of your time and what you've got to get accomplished. Even a few small notes or a slight sense of what needs to be done and when can make everything much easier.
5. Delegate! You can outsource plenty of tasks to others as needed. It can be either personal or work-related items that you've got to get done. Hire a helping hand using micro-help sites or dictating to your team or other staff can free up your time, enabling you to focus on other high-priority tasks.
Regardless of what side of the employment process you are on, good time management, organization, and attention to detail can help you attain success. Once you get a good system in place, and establish the right organizational habits, you'll find that getting the job done is easier than ever.
FlipTask was created in 2012 by entrepreneur Aric Franzmeier, as a new way to help out the local community by bringing new jobs to the cities and surrounding areas of Boulder and Denver, Colorado. Aric was inspired to create FlipTask after seeing the current economic downturn affect the job market, particularly among college graduates.


My husband gave me this wonderful book for Christmas - To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings by the late teacher and poet, John O'Donohue. Drawing on the wisdom and beauty of Celtic spiritual traditions, this little gem of a book offers blessings and reflections for every stage of our life's journey from a new day to a new year, getting married, welcoming a child the death of a beloved and so, so much more. As you can imagine, this book couldn't be more perfect for me! I'm delighted to share this blessing with you as we begin 2015.
Today is Good Friday, a day of mourning when Christians commemorate Jesus' suffering and death on the cross. Holy Saturday is a day of vigil, spent in anticipation of Christ's resurrection. Easter Sunday is the most important Christian holiday, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Earlier this month I reflected on his death and resurrection as a metaphor for our own cycles of fallowness and fertility; how what is old must pass away in order for new life to emerge. Knowing it is easier said than done, today my thoughts turn toward the suffering we so often experience as we go through the process of death and rebirth within ourselves.
Author Gloria Karpinski writes, "We suffer more than necessary when we fail to acknowledge the destructive aspect of sacred cycles, their purposes, and the chaos they temporarily bring." How true it is! I create suffering in my denial of what is — in my belief that something is wrong; in my expectation that things should be other than the way they are.
I know the first noble truth of Buddhism can be summed up as something like, "Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional." Pain is what happens externally and suffering is what we create internally. Let's just say I'm not enlightened yet. I needed to find a way to work with the is-ness of suffering.
I first heard the phrase "the awful grace" used by Ram Dass, when he spoke about about caring for his dying step-mother. He referred to a quote by Aeschylus, a poet of ancient Greece: "He who learns must suffer. Even in our sleep, pain which we cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
"Against our will, comes wisdom." There's so much humanity in those words! I say them again and again, knowing how hard I've tried - how hard we all try, mostly - to avoid suffering. So often I've thought to myself, If I'd known how hard it was going to be, I never would have done it (signed up, said yes, walked through the door, etc).
And yet, I'm always so glad I did.
I may not be enlightened, but I am optimistic. Often, learning comes through suffering. Wisdom comes through pain. It may be awful, but it's still grace.
I volunteer for Hospice on Friday's, each week visiting a patient in their home or nursing facility to give them Reiki. Reiki offers comfort and support during end-of-life care in large part, I believe, because it is a hands-on healing technique.
Physical contact is the first language we learn. Touch is so vital that babies who don't receive physical nurturing will die, even if they are given adequate nutrition. The Touch Research Institute in Miami found that touch can alleviate depression, reduce pain and stress hormones, improve immune function and encourage weight gain in preterm infants.
Haleya, my teacher at The Sanctuary Healing Arts Center, says Reiki for hospice patients "can be a valuable way to 'communicate' through touch that they are loved, cared for, supported and safe." Not just hospice patients, and not just Reiki. We all need physical contact. To use the old AT&T slogan, "Reach out and touch someone."


What kind of warm-up do you do before your personal rehearsal time or general choral warm-up? Of course, warm-ups vary depending on the time of day you begin singing, your gender and age and what kind of singing you are about to do.
What are your default "must-do-no-matter what" warm-ups?
clarifications: Lip buzzes are lip trills. Penta-scales are five note scales. All of our vocal pedagogues had two exercises in common: 1) Use of lip buzzes or lip trills and slides (penta-scale to an octave + 1) and 2) slides or glissando as a semi-occluded vocal tract exercise for breathe motion, ease of use of vocal folds, and the thinning of them.
Yawn-sighs and puppy dog whines into descending slides on the penta-scale with neutral vowel.
Ascending flex lip trills high to low [V15 exercise].
Yoo-ah flexibility using skips and leaps [V14 exercise].
2. Anonymous, Professional Baritone/ Private Instructor.
As a vocal warm up, I'm more interested in stretching other muscles, relaxing and resting my voice, and eating a meal with protein about two hours before performing. Singing with regularity doesn't require that much time to warm up. That being said . . .
I use coffee stirrers, often two at a time, one if I'm feeling bold. Singing through straws emphasizes feeling your voice rather than listening to yourself helps avoid pushing too much air. Quick scales that span an octave and a half or two octaves.
Continue with the semi-occluded vocal tract idea singing voiced consonants in the mid-range. "Th" is great as in "the" because it naturally fronts the tongue. It's important to maintain an open pharynx/stable larynx while your mouth is closed.
Classic coloratura warm ups on [i-e-a-o-u] moving quickly through penta-scales and nine scales. Low range to high, aiming to sing three half-steps below and above the range I'll need to sing during that day's performance.
3. Anonymous, Professional Lyric Soprano / Private Instructor.
Lip trills using the penta-scale ascending and descending.
Repeat scales on 16th notes ascending and descending on one breath for at least 10 counts with the last note being a half note to prep air for the next repetition.
Range scales with full extensions as high and as low as one can sing with agility.
Falsetto slides, up or down using do-sol-do, or sol-do-sol to engage the crico-thyroid while making sure to move plenty of air through the instrument.
Lip Buzzes descending in chain succession: Sol-Fa-Mi-Re-Do, followed by an immediate ascent by a semi-tone and then repeated. Sing 2 or 3 sets before taking a breath.
[u]-scales to the 9th: While maintaining placement, breath motion, and thin vocal folds, start lower in the range (usually low G) and sing a scale that extends to the upper 9th and descends again. Move through the scale quickly working to maintain placement, flexibility via a thin/light mechanism, and resonance with a vibrato spin.
Descending lip trills slides on [u].
Lip trills on descending penta-scale.
Ascending glissando penta-scale on a warm [i] vowel. Use a K or G consonant at the beginning to ensure strong closer (adduction) with vocal folds.
As a vocal strengthener, use [V] to sing 1-3-5-8-5-3-1. Rest the top teeth lightly on the lower lip as you sing [V] continuously.
[Fu] descending penta-scale slides mid to low range for a gentle activation and to focus and streamline the air.
Lip trills – ascending and descending penta-scales to full scales lip trills from mid to high range to ensure support of diaphragm.
[Nyu] to [Nya] or "Zing-Zing-Zing-Za" ascending and descending skips mixed with semi-tone movement for intonation and agility. It's called The Mel after Melissa Shallberg who uses it very effectively. 1-3-5-dim.7-7-8-5-3-1.

Getting Ready for Hoxeyville Music Festival
August 6, 2012 Mike Vasquez Leave a comment
It's about that time. September is just around the corner, and the summer festival season is almost at an end. With Summer Camp and All Good behind us, we've got one more music festival to see. One more to round out a summer of great festivals and music across the Midwest. Hoxeyville Music Festival (August 17 – 19) is in Northern Michigan, smack dab in the middle of Manistee National Forest. We covered Hoxeyville for the first time back in 2010, and we're even more excited about this year.
The organizers have pulled together another great lineup. It's a very Michigan artist focused festival, as you can see from the artist roster, and there are a couple of great national acts playing, too. Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers are headlining, and just for me, they've got two amazing post Grateful Dead bands playing – Bill Kreutzmann's 7 Walkers and the Mickey Hart Band. So if you're anywhere near Michigan, you might want to take the time to check it out. Here are some of the bands we're particularly excited to see.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld5hKeZQGFo&w=560&h=315]
7 Walkers – "Sugaree"
This is the band I'm most excited to see at Hoxeyville. Bill Kreutzmann on drums, with Papa Mali on guitar and vocals, and George Porter on bass and vocals. George Porter was a founding member of The Meters. He sings "Sugaree" here, and really belts it out. Papa Mali is a great guitar player from New Orleans. Together, these guys bring New Orleans funk and soul to the Grateful Dead sound.
Mickey Hart Band
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFT2w9YGzcw&w=560&h=315]
Mickey Hart Band – "Brokedown Palace"
Here they are at All Good, doing a slow, soulful "Brokedown Palace". And the video is great. Hats off to the videographer. As the song starts, he's walking down the hill towards the stage, and stops by the tapers (in front of the soundboard) to capture the rest of the song. I don't know what he was using to tape it, but he's pretty steady all the way down the hill.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCr-pItRqwg&w=560&h=315]
Greensky Bluegrass – "China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider"
We've covered Greensky Bluegrass a couple of times here before, and they are always high on our list of bands to see at music festivals (they played at both Summer Camp and All Good this year). This video is from when we saw them at Hoxeyville in 2010. The Rhythm Devils played that year, too, and both Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart joined them on stage for a stellar rendition of "China Cat Sunflower" into"I Know You Rider". If you listen carefully, you can hear me yell "Mickey!" when Hart gets behind his drum kit. Yes, I almost wet my pants with excitement. That's just how I roll.
Seth Bernard and May Erlewine
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzipdd8y-ho&w=560&h=315]
Seth Bernard and May Erlewine – "Ain't No Sunshine"
I was first introduced to Seth Bernard and May Erlewine at Hoxeyville in 2010. They were all over the schedule. As Seth Bernard and May Erlewine, Airborne or Aquatic?, Paul Hoffman vs. Seth Bernard, and probably a few other places, too. This clip is from a show they did at The Ark in Ann Arbor in 2011. Listen to May sing "I know, I know, I know…" and try not to fall in love with her voice. They represent some of the best musical talent in Michigan, and they are an integral part of what makes Hoxeyville what it is.
Paul Hoffman vs. Seth Bernard
Continuing on with the Seth Bernard focus, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Paul Hoffman vs. Seth Bernard. Paul Hoffman is the mandolin player, vocalist, and one of the songwriters in Greensky Bluegrass. When we saw them at Hoxeyville last time, it was just the two of them on stage, greeting the morning crowd with some of their own tunes, and this rendition of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer". A must listen (sorry, no video!)
Paul Hoffman vs. Seth Bernard – "Cortez the Killer"
Airborne or Aquatic?
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCMly1uz1wY&w=560&h=315]
Airborne or Aquatic? – [No idea what this jam is called]
Airborne or Aquatic? is another Seth and May production. It's sort of "supergroup" of Michigan players, and Hoxeyville is one of the few places they get together. It's totally spacey, trippy music, as you can see from this video, which starts out with some spoken word stuff from Lee Sprague, Tribal Council Member of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians. Should be a trip again this year.
I could go on and on here, highlighting all the great music you catch at Hoxeyville this year. But there just isn't enough time. I'll just say that I'm also excited to see The Macpodz, The Ragbirds, The Josh Davis Band, Naive Melodies (Talking Heads cover band!), and The Red Sea Pedestrians performing Abbey Road (regular GloNo readers are familiar with my unhealthy obsession with covers and cover bands).
Festival tickets are still available. You can grab them here. Hope to see you there!

On our way back from All Good this year, we agreed it was – hands down – the best music festival we've been to. This is for a whole host of reasons, but must importantly, the music was outstanding. As I noted in our All Good preview, there were a number of bands we were excited to see. One of the great things about the All Good Music Festival is that they set up two stages right next to each other. While one band plays, they are setting up the next band on the adjacent stage. So there's basically no gap to the music all day, once it starts, and you get to hang out in the same general area – not so much walking from stage to stage.
Add to that generally good weather, non-cramped camping accommodations, and extremely friendly staff, and you've got yourself a music festival to remember. Onto the musical highlights.
Thursday, July 19, 2012: The Music Never Stopped
The music didn't start until 7 on Thursday, but I could have gone home happy after the first night alone. Bob Weir, Bruce Hornsby, and Branford Marsalis, followed by Phil Lesh and Friends. Both sets were outstanding. I had earlier speculated that we might just see Weir, Hornsby, and Marsalis, without accompaniment. Or maybe just the addition of a drummer and bass player. What we got was Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers, with special guests Bob Weir and Branford Marsalis, playing a whole lotta Grateful Dead tunes. Plus two Hornsby tracks. The set started a bit rough, but it only got better as they gelled on stage. You can give their set a listen over at the Live Music Archive.
I also speculated a bit about who was going to be playing with Phil Lesh and Friends. I wrote that I hoped he would have Jackie Greene with him, and he was. Plus Joe Russo on drums, two of Phil's sons, Grahame and Brian, and – a very pleasant surprise – Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams from Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble. The set was like Phil Lesh meets the Midnight Ramble. Some Grateful Dead tunes were in the set and some songs that you might have heard at a Levon Helm show – "Chest Fever", "Long Black Veil", and "Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning", for example. It was my first time seeing Phil Lesh and Friends live, and this line up was a treat. You can listen to their set here.

Friday, July 20, 2012: The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips were amazing! The first track they played, "Race for the Prize", ended up being a top 5 rock and roll moment for me. I was standing stage left, in the photo pit, tucked in a corner by a big ass speaker, trying to take decent pictures of the insanity. Confetti and smoke all over the stage… I could have died happily in that moment.
They also played Pink Floyd's "On The Run" – the psychedelic electronic experimental freakout from Darkside of the Moon – while Coyne climbed into the bubble and walked out over the crowd. He didn't stay out as long as I'd expected to but it was a thing to behold nonetheless. If you haven't ever seen the Flaming Lips, you should really try to work them into your live music schedule sometime. They will not disappoint. Q Magazine was spot on when they put the Flaming Lips in their top 50 list of bands you must see before you die. In the meantime, check out the video below of their whole show.

Sunday, July 22, 2012: Non Stop Rock Block
Sunday was the hottest day of the festival, and I was feeling a bit physically run down by then. The good news was that the day's lineup was a must see for me, the strongest afternoon of music the entire weekend. I think the organizers did a tremendous job lining up a solid block of great music to keep us going on Sunday afternoon.
Corey Harris and the Rasta Blues Experience
Corey Harris was the first artist of the day. He and his band, The Rasta Blues Experience, brought a rich mix of reggae, blues, rock, and funk to the stage. Harris plays guitar and lap steel. I really enjoyed his slide playing. Great songs that cut across genres, one to the next. Conscious music that's only occasionally preachy. I would have liked to see him in an evening time slot, but I'm glad All Good introduced me to his music.
Devil Makes Three
Devil Makes Three was also new to me. They play folk music that bounces with a punk rock sensibility. There's some rockabilly in their sound, too. They are a three piece – guitar, banjo, and bass. All acoustic. The guitar player seemed to be the "lead" singer, with the other two hopping in on harmony pretty frequently. A particular treat form their set was their cover of Blind Willie McTell's Statesboro Blues. Definitely want to see these guys again.
Well, I am now a big fan of the Mickey Hart Band. They had an hour and fifteen minutes to impress the crowd, and they did. Mickey has been able to move the furthest out from the "standard" Grateful Dead sound with his new band. He and his band have created something part Dead, part world music, and part the collective identity of the band members themselves. The lead guitar player is able to play in a completely non Jerry Garcia style of guitar playing – more Santana-ish to me – but will also weave some Jerry-ness into his playing when appropriate. Their version of "Fire on the Moutain" was a case in point. He broke out the familiar MXR pedal, or at least a reproduction of its sound – what my buddies and I called a "fart pedal" when we were kids. I love that sound almost more than life itself. I was dancing around like an idiot for the whole song.
So there you have it. Lots of great music at All Good this year, and I've only covered some of it here. I'm already looking forward to next year's All Good. Hope to see you there.

All Good Music Festival: 2012 Preview
June 28, 2012 Mike Vasquez 1 Comment
This will be our second time covering the All Good Music Festival (the first time was in 2010 – see our coverage here, here, and here). And it's our second festival of the season (see our recent Summer Camp coverage). The festival is just a few short weeks away now – July 19 – 22. The lineup is really exciting this year, and we're going to highlight some of the bands here. This year's lineup is a bit Grateful Dead-centric, at least among the headliners. Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, and Mickey Hart are all appearing, each with their own band. If only Bill Kreutzmann's 7 Walkers was playing, all the remaining members of the Grateful Dead would be making an appearance (the good news is that we'll be able to see them at Hoxeyville Music Festival this year). Plus, Dark Star Orchestra – one of my favorite bands to see live – will be bringing their brand of Grateful Dead fun to the stage. Here's a bit about each of the above bands, plus a few more (Hint: The Flaming Lips!!).
Phil Lesh & Friends
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQg2mY7xMLk&w=560&h=315]
Phil Lesh & Friends – "Passenger"
Phil Lesh & Friends get second billing for the festival, after The Allman Brothers Band, and they are the band I'm most excited to see. For me, the big question with Phil and Friends is… Who will the Friends be? Phil Lesh has been putting together bands under this moniker since 1999. Many famous and respected players have with Phil Lesh & Friends – Trey Anastasio, Steve Kimock, Warren Haynes, Ryan Adams, Chris Robinson, and more.
Lesh has played with two different lineups this year. In February, Phil Lesh & Friends played a three night run with a lineup I'd love to see at All Good: Warren Haynes (guitar, vocals), Jackie Greene (guitar, keyboards, vocals), John Scofield (guitar), Joe Russo (drums), and Jeff Chimenti (keyboards). All the shows are available on the Live Music Archive. Lesh also did some shows in April at his new venue Terrapin Crossroads with what he terms as the classic Phil Lesh Quintet: Lesh, Haynes (guitar), Rob Barraco (keyboardist), Jimmy Herring (guitar), and John Molo (drums). Haynes and Barraco will both be at All Good as it is – Haynes with The Allman Brothers Band and Barraco with Dark Star Orchestra. So I think there's a good chance those two will be among the Friends. Maybe Jackie Greene, too? A man can hope…
Here's the February 2012 incarnation of Phil and Friends playing "Passenger", a tune Lesh wrote back in the late 70s when he thought the Grateful Dead needed a few more rockers in their repertoire. They retired the song in 1981, but Lesh has brought it back, and it's getting a lot of play now. And, indeed, it does rock.
Bob Weir & Bruce Hornsby with special guest Branford Marsalis
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KYMiZpIYfI&w=560&h=315]
Bob Weir & Bruce Hornsby – "Hell In A Bucket"
Prepare to break out your jazz hands, people. Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby have done a few shows together already this year (see the video above) This time, they're bringing another heavy hitter with them: Branford Marsalis, the legendary jazz saxophonist and brother of famed trumpet player Wynton Marsalis. Both Marsalis and Hornsby have played with the Grateful Dead in the past (Marsalis as a featured guest, Hornsby as a temporary member of the band after Brent Mydland died), and both bring significant bodies of their own work to the table as well.
I imagine the show will be something like this video of "Hell In A Bucket", but with Marsalis adding his voice to the mix. But who knows? It's unclear from their listing what the band's make up will be. But there could be a drummer and a bass player, too. Crosby, Stills, and Nash had a drummer and a bass player. They just didn't get a name check. It could be the same with Weir, Hornsby, and Marsalis (which I believe I just coined, btw). In the meantime, check out the Weir & Hornsby video.

The Mickey Hart Band Winter Tour 2011/2012
"So we're going to go out there… enjoy the ride." That's how Mickey Hart starts off this video highlighting his band's Winter 2011/2012 tour. And it looks like they do a good amount of space exploration, but in a way the kids can keep bouncing to (different, in my opinion, than the Drums/Space sequence Deadheads came to know and love/hate). They are also doing some of their own songs, plus a half dozen or so Grateful Dead tunes every show. Here's hoping we get a "Fire On The Mountain" (Hart co-wrote it) and a "Not Fade Away" at All Good…
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej9T3KrwYW0&w=560&h=315]
The Flaming Lips – Hangout Music Festival 2012 (Including Dark Side of The Moon)
My personal obsession with all things Grateful Dead aside, The Flaming Lips alone are reason enough to go to All Good this year. What if they play Dark Side of the Moon? Do you want to risk missing it? Then there's the giant ball Wayne Coyne rolls around in, walking/crawling on top of the audience. Do you want to miss that? Because that's what they did at Hangout Music Festival, which you can see for yourself above. They did Dark Side, and Coyne rolled across the audience in his giant transparent bubble boy ball (be sure to watch them inflate the ball, too).
The video above captures their entire Hangout Music Festival set. They do a few great Flaming Lips songs before they get to the Pink Floyd record. First was a joyous "Race for the Prize", the first track off Soft Bulletin. They also did "She Don't Use Jelly", "The Yeah Yeah Song", and "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots".
Fair warning: There's a lot of swearing in the banter with the audience. Which I enjoyed, and you probably will, too, but I just wanted you to know in advance.
The Pimps of Joytime
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h91q-xUGdY&w=560&h=315]
The Pimps of Joytime – "Janxta Funk"
While we're off the Grateful Dead path for a moment, I thought I'd also mention The Pimps of Joytime. The first time I saw them was at All Good in 2010, and I've managed to catch them at a few other festivals as well. They are an engaging live funk band, and just plain fun. Truth be told, many Deadheads have an affinity for classic 70s funk, so I'm not really treading too far off the Grateful Dead path here. The Pimps have sprung from that fertile 70s ground. You can hear George Clinton and James Brown in what they do. Above is the video for the title track off their 2011 album, Janxta Funk!.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWtC9_9vXC4&w=560&h=315]
Dark Star Orchestra – "Looks Like Rain"
Dark Star Orchestra is an All Good regular, and are always a crowd favorite at the festival. The video above is from Gratefulfest 12 (in 2011 – it's a little bit confusing. All because they started that particular festival in 2000).
So that's only a small sampling of the artists that will be playing at All Good this year. Michael Franti, Greensky Bluegrass, and Galactic, for example, are also playing. The festival is also at a new site this year – Legend Valley in Thornville, OH – which makes it a bit more of an adventure this, since it will completely new to us. And it's a much shorter drive for us now. Hopefully we'll see you there. Tickets are still available. Get one while you still can!

Underland
Disturbing, eye-opening, puzzling, Underland is not a comfortable book, and one wonders what possessed Robert Macfarlane to go to the lengths he did in order to write it. Sub-titled A Deep Time Journey, it's an exploration and examination of what lies beneath our feet seen through a variety of lenses: historical, political, geological, ecological, geographical, and cultural. It's personal, too, as Macfarlane records his own impressions and experiences of the landscapes he visits in order to map so-called 'deep time'. Parts of it are fascinating, others less gripping, but it does open the subterrane in unexpected ways and in so doing it opens the mind.
"Over field and down into bower of elder and old ash, moss pushing rock to soft gold-green. Follow the stream through gorse and bracken, setting fieldfares flaring to the west with chatter and crackle. Swallows skimming meadows on the fly, blowy warmth in a north-east wind. On and into the deep-set hollow, a last nod to the sun - to the light falling through leaves in nets, to the buzzard drifting over - and then we are down a hole in the stone-cold soil, worn to a swallet by the run of a stream, into the earth's gullet, into the black bite of a polished stone-vice set carelessly and wondrously with the spirals of ammonites and the bullets of belemnites, and down into trouble."
Pot-holing in the Mendips, driving miles under the sea through the tunnels of a salt and potash mine in Yorkshire, learning about arboreal communication and support systems in Epping Forest, Macfarlane's travels take him to a range of environments, often hostile, sometimes deadly. In Italy and Slovenia he discovers beauty coupled with atrocity; in Paris a bizarre subculture of urban exploration beneath the city; in Norway prehistoric cave paintings on a virtually inaccessible coast, but wherever he is there's a palpable heart of darkness, a threat to life - or civilisation - whether natural or man-made, and the reader cannot remain unaffected.
As if in subtle emphasis to this waiting doom, Macfarlane takes with him on his travels two objects: one an amulet to guide him in the dark, the other a repository of another man's demons - hatred, fears, loss and pain recorded on paper then burnt and encased in bronze, this to be disposed of in "the deepest or most secure underland site I reached - a place from which it could never return."
Burial is of course a theme of the book, whether deliberate or accidental, vitally necessary - as in the case of nuclear waste - or a matter of tradition and convention. Macfarlane highlights "our species' instinct to open what has been sealed without thought for the consequences" and observes that with the rise in global temperatures "troublesome history thought long since entombed is emerging again." What is buried does not disappear.
The book's stylistic quirks - the sectional tense-changing, use of the historic present, the settings sketched in note form (a terse, alliterative position-plotting) - might grate or charm according to taste, but that signature doesn't diminish the work's scope, the depth of research which informs it, the overall strength of the narrative, and the impact it must have on any reader. Whatever caused Robert Macfarlane to venture into the underworld, he has returned to the surface with wisdom born of observation and an urgent and eloquent call to conscience.

The first bus I try to board is full of people, and is the wrong one. "I'm going to Gatehouse, not Brighouse. You need the council bus," says the driver, rather sniffily.
The next bus that arrives is empty. The journey to Brighouse Bay normally costs the princely sum of £1. I have my fare ready in my hand, but I must look very down-at-heel because the driver decides to let me travel free of charge.
Brighouse Bay is lovely this morning. I follow the path along the shore.
Actually, I'm quite worried about the walk today. It will be 15-16 miles to Gatehouse of Fleet, if all goes well, and that's a long distance for me. And I mustn't miss the last bus home from Gatehouse. It leaves just after 5pm.
Through trees I catch glimpses of the nearby holiday village. I push aside my hostile feelings towards caravan parks. I believe the existence of this holiday camp is the only reason there's a bus service provided to the bay.
I come out of woodland and walk through an area of grass and gorse bushes. To my right is a golf course.
A family come towards me along the path, with a lively springer spaniel leading the way. They are the first, and only, walkers I will meet all day.
I'm following a Core Path. The information sign is not encouraging. Danger – cliffs. And just to make sure I understand: Caution – steep path. And then, in case I'm not dissuaded yet, it's a Long Walk.
Actually, it's a lovely path with a beautiful clear sea and interesting rock formations. Yes, there are some steep descents, but nothing too strenuous, or too dangerous. Certainly it's much tamer than the north Cornwall coast.
I hear a buzzing sound on my right. A helicopter? A drone? No. A cold-looking young man is mowing the golf green.
I reach Borness Point and the land flattens out ahead. That's Ringdoo Bay, I think. Somewhere, just past the bay, the Core Path turns inland, before joining a track that should lead me to my next waypoint, Kirkandrews.
… and, sure enough, I soon spot a signpost. "Whitehill 1 mile". I recheck my OS map. Good. At Whitehill I should pick up the track I need. Why did Alan find this route so difficult? Pfff – it's a piece of cake.
The path leads across a field and then through a new plantation of pines. These trees aren't on my map! The pines are hard to negotiate – thickly spaced and scratchy. The easiest way is to follow the boundary wall, where there's an indistinct path in the grass.
Out of the pines, and across another field, and I take a quick look at my Garmin. That's strange. I seem to be a mile or so off my intended course. I pull out my OS paper map. If I'm heading to Whitehill, I should be on the right track. Maybe the map on my Garmin is wrong? Or maybe the Core Path has been diverted?
… and reach another unexpected feature. A pond. This isn't on the OS map either, nor on my Garmin map. And I've lost the signs for the footpath… oh no!
I walk around the pond a couple of times, startling a couple of quacking ducks, before deciding the path must loop around by the edge of the field. Soon I find a gate that takes me onto a road, and I'm relieved to see a familiar footpath sign pointing back the way I've come. Borness Coast, it says.
But there shouldn't be a road here! I look at my OS map again, and check it against my Garmin. I can't believe it! There are two places called Whitehill. A mile or so apart. I've come inland too early!
For a moment I consider striking off across the fields in a straight line, towards Kirkandrews. Scotland does have a "right to roam", doesn't it? But I've noticed the fields are bordered by barbed wire, electric fences, and deep-cut waterways. I check my watch. I really can't afford to miss the last bus… what should I do?
In the end, I decide to follow the road. Yes, I will end up doing 2 sides of a triangle and will add an extra 2-3 miles to my route, but road-walking will be quicker than blundering around trying to find my way over hostile territory.
…but it only takes me a few hundred yards along a lane, and then joins another road that runs parallel to the original one.
Perhaps at this point I should head off across the fields to Kirkandrews? But a fencepost offers an ominous warning – DANGER OF DEATH – (even if the sign has been tacked on upside down!). No. I'll stick to the road.
The road is more a track than a road, to be honest. Seems to go on for a looong time.
I pass a field where three big horses – not quite as big as shire horses, but pretty large – come trotting over to see me. "I've got no food for you," I lie. Actually, I have an apple in my rucksack, but I'm saving that for my own lunch.
The end of the road is in sight. I'm on the outskirts of a village called Borgue.
Don't be a wimp. You can still make it to Gatehouse of Fleet by 5pm. Onwards.
I turn left, and head down the road towards Kirkandrews, picking up my walking pace. The weather has got worse. Low clouds. Moist mist. Terrible for photography.
I don't deviate to look at the remains of Kirkandrews church. Nor do I wander into nearby fields to find another "Cup and Ring marked Rock" – as shown on my map. No time for that. Onwards.
Past Kirkandrews, and I come across an impressive building. Part barn, part castle. Its roof looks Dutch, but its tower is proudly British – or Scottish. A weird building. Now clearly abandoned and falling into ruin.
The road runs parallel to the sea here. I think there should be a Core Path running even closer to the shore, but I feel pressurised for time, and now deeply suspicious about the whole concept of Core Paths. So I don't go exploring to see if I can find it.
Actually, walking along the road is pleasant, with sea views and only the occasional car trundling past.
I reach an area of woodland. No bluebells, but wild garlic lines the roadside. It isn't in full flower yet, but the smell is making me hungry. I pass a logging area. Firewood for sale.
Anyway, the woodland road is very pretty.
I reach Knockbrex. I promised myself a lunch break when I got here, and was hoping to find a village green and a bench. But it isn't a proper village. There's an imposing driveway leading to a large country mansion, which I suspect is now divided into flats, but not much else.
Across the field, in front of the mansion, I snap a photograph of a grazing deer.
A few minutes later, I pass a castle. Well, probably not a real ancient castle – seems too modern – but it looks wonderful, and is available to rent as a holiday let. Wow!
But I'm really hungry and tired now. It's 1:30pm. Time to refuel.
The roadside verge is rough and overgrown, but a stone stile set into a wall looks inviting. Perfect. The stone steps providing a ledge to sit on, and also provide a side table for my picnic.
A car rumbles past, and I see the occupants craning their necks. Bet they're wondering what that strange old woman is doing crouching by the wall!
After rest and refreshment I continue along the road.
It runs close to the shore and overlooks a new stretch of water – Wigtown Bay. And now I'm heading up Fleet Bay. The islands out there must be… the Islands of Fleet.
It's a shame the atmosphere remains murky and my photographs don't do justice to this beautiful place.
The road has fizzled out, but there's a clear track to walk along. I reach Carrick Bay with its lovely beach, and walk past holiday huts, tucked along the shoreline.
Here I sit down for another rest and to enjoy the view. And there's a family strolling on the sands. What a great place to stay.
Further along is Sandgreen – a holiday park of static caravans. At this point, I'm going to turn inland and walk up the estuary along a track. It runs just a few hundred yards parallel to the shore, and is a designated Core Path – but I've grown suspicious of these paths. They seem very unreliable.
I wander among the static homes, and soon spot the track. It looks reassuringly straightforward.
And it is straightforward. In fact, it's very straight. I make good progress, climbing steadily uphill through a lovely avenue of trees.
To my left, I catch glimpses over Fleet Bay. It looks hillier over there. Wilder. I feel a thrill of excitement as I wonder what my next walking day will bring. Sadly, the weather is still too murky for decent photographs.
A posse of young lambs scrutinise me from the other side of a fence. Cheviots. It's a breed I've never really come across before, but I really do like them. Love those ears.
Farther along, the track skirts the edge of woodland and a deer park – although I see no deer – and reaches a place called Cally Mains. I am expecting a sewage works for some reason (maybe its the word 'mains' and its connection in my mind to water treatment plants), but Cally Mains turns out to a collection of neat farm buildings.
I'm too tired – and hurried – to take any decent photographs. It isn't a very interesting farm anyway, being too clean and organised! But I do snap an out-of-focus photo of a parrot in an outbuilding.
The track continues through woodland until, with only a couple of miles to go until I reach Gatehouse, I hear the thunder of traffic. I'm about to cross the dreaded A75. Yes, there it is. And, luckily, there's an underpass.
Beyond the underpass is Cally Palace Hotel, with lovely gardens and a golf course.
Walking through the grounds of the hotel, following the access road, I enter the woodland of Cally Park. A sign promises red squirrels – but I don't see any.
… in fact I was hoping to find a picnic bench. I've made such rapid progress, I could afford the time to have another rest and a snack. But I don't come across a convenient stopping place.
Next thing I know, I'm heading down a path towards Gatehouse of Fleet.
I arrive on the main road at 4pm with an hour to spare!
The Murray Arms hotel is right opposite the bus stop and – what a miracle – the pub is actually open. I'm the only customer, but enjoy a delicious pint of cider, while chatting to the barmaid. She's returned to Dumfries and Galloway after spending her teenage years in England. We both agree it's a wonderful place.
The bus driver recognises me. "But weren't you the woman trying to get to Brighouse Bay this morning?" I explain I've walked here from there, and he looks amazed.
This walk ended up being shorter, and quicker, than I originally feared. Road walking – as much of it turned out to be – is always easier than hiking through open countryside, but not as interesting.
And I learnt an important lesson. Not all the Core Paths shown on the map are complete. Some are very much work-in-progress. The trick is to check the map and click where is says 'click here for further details', to make sure the route actually exists!

Hi Ruth, I think it must have been a different walk you were thinking of. My only problem with this section was right at the end in getting through the golf-course! LOL.
Yes the Islands of Fleet. I walked to Ardwall Isle one very cold winter day when writing No Boat Required. It was covered with snow. Also Barlocco Isle which is close to the shore and seeemd to be mainly rocky. The Murray Isles are further out an apparently can only be reached on foot on exceptionally low tides. I stayed at the Murray Arms – the only guest. They called to check I was coming because of the snow and the chef came in specially to cook my (rather good) dinner.
I'm afraid I didn't see those islands at their best, Peter, because of the murky weather. It would have been an incredible experience to hike out to that island on a wintry day. I was very impressed by the Murray Arms Hotel, mainly because it was actually open at 4pm!
Unfortunately, as you've discovered, some of the D&G Core Paths are more aspirational than actual.
I also ended up unexpectedly on the Borness Road when I'd been intending to head further along the shore. On this occasion, I think we basically followed the same route. Like you, I wanted a sit down and some refreshment by the time I reached the Edge of Gatehouse but I chose to avail myself of the Cally Palace Hotel's bar.
Also, as Alan says, the bizarre architecture in that area is down to one man (James Brown). I'd just like to add that—as if his palatial cow shed isn't mad enough—the so-called Knockbrex Castle was originally built as a garage to house his cars!
I hope the Cally Palace was as nice inside as it was outside. Ah. So those places were built by the same eccentric man? Explains a lot.
Blimey only £1 for a bus ticket and you didn't even have to pay it! This weekend I had the most expensive bus I've yet come across on my coastal walk. A return from Carlisle to Bowness-on-Solway came in at £11.20! Still it's cheaper than a taxi I suppose.
I love the sheep photo and I'm glad it's not just me that uses stiles as handy steps – like you the ones with 2 steps are best, then you can have a handy shelf as well!
Awful weather meant we took the inland route through Borgue last week. We've learned to appreciate that in those conditions and if there's not too much traffic, road walking has some advantages over non existent paths.
Hi Will. Yes. There are some days when road-walking is the best option!

Q: ellipsizeMode={'head'} did not work when numberOfLines > 1 in React-Native I am trying to show ... in the starting of the text but it is working when numberOfLines={1}
Code:
<Text style={styles.equationOrResultStyle} numberOfLines={1} ellipsizeMode={'head'}>
                {this.state.equation}
            </Text>

But nothing happing when i am using numberOfLines={2}
Code:
<Text style={styles.equationOrResultStyle} numberOfLines={2} ellipsizeMode={'head'}>
                {this.state.equation}
            </Text>

But same is working for ellipsizeMode={'tail'}
Code:
  <Text style={styles.equationOrResultStyle} numberOfLines={2} ellipsizeMode={'tail'}>
                    {this.state.equation}
                </Text>

where equationOrResultStyle is:
equationOrResultStyle: {
    fontSize: 10,
    textAlign: 'right',
    color:'#ffffff',
  },

Why ellipsizeMode={'head'} not working when numberOfLines is  more than 1 ?
Is there any workaround for the same?
