Tiritiri Matangi lighthouse is situated on Tiritiri Island in the Hauraki Gulf. It marks the approach to Auckland Harbour some 28 kilometres to the south.
Location: latitude 36°36' south, longitude 174°54' east
Elevation: 91 metres above sea level
Construction: cast iron tower
Tower height: 21 metres
Light configuration: modern rotating beacon
Light flash character: white light flashing once every 15 seconds
Power source: batteries charged by solar panels
Range: 18 nautical miles (33 kilometres)
Date light first lit: 1865
Automated: 1984
Demanned: 1984
Tiritiri Matangi is the oldest lighthouse still in operation in New Zealand. It was also the first lighthouse to be built by the Government.
Construction of the lighthouse was very difficult and cost £5,747. It took 4 months to dig down through 3 metres of thick, boggy, clay-like mud to reach ground that was hard enough to build on.
Building materials for the lighthouse were shipped to the island and then carted in sledges by bullocks over the slippery banks to reach the construction site. Despite the challenges of construction, the original tower is still standing. The light itself, however, has undergone many changes.
The light was first lit on 1 January 1865.
On 1 January 2015, the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi celebrated the sesquicentennial of the lighting of Tiritiri Lighthouse. They marked this day with a special event and invited people to join them. Visit the Supporters website

When the fixed light was lit on the first day of 1865, it was fuelled by colza oil. It was later modified to burn paraffin oil. In 1916 the light was again modified, this time to burn kerosene.

In 1882 a red glass pane was fitted inside the lantern to throw a red light over Flat Rock near Kawau Island. This was removed in 1922 when an automatic light was installed on Flat Rock.
In 1925 the light was replaced with an automatic acetylene-burning revolving light. The keepers were withdrawn that same year.
During the 1930s the Tiritiri Matangi light was fitted with a radio beacon, and in 1947 the keepers returned to the station.
In 1955 the light was converted from oil to diesel-generated electricity. In 1956 the light was again replaced, this time with a new xenon light of 11 million candle power. With a visibility of 58 miles it was one of the most powerful lighthouses in the world at the time. The new light was a private donation from Auckland businessman and yachtsman, Sir Ernest Davis.
In 1966 the light was changed to mains electricity supplied from a 5 kilometre long underwater power cable.
The station was fully automated and the last keeper was withdrawn in 1984.
In 2002 the light assembly was replaced with a modern rotating light beacon which was installed within the original lighthouse. This light is fitted with a 50 watt tungsten halogen bulb.
The new light is powered from battery banks charged by solar panels.
Tiritiri Matangi was a particularly busy light station. As one keeper wrote in the 1960s, "on Tiritiri we had a constant passing parade to prove our use."
The proximity to the mainland and the constant passing of vessels made Tiritiri Matangi a popular posting. It was especially popular when the service intervals for the lighthouse station were reduced from 3 monthly to fortnightly.
The last keeper to be withdrawn from the island had the privilege of becoming the island's first conservation officer because the island became an open wildlife sanctuary.
Tiritiri Matangi Lighthouse is accessible to the public. There is no public access to enter the lighthouse.
Tiritiri Matangi Island is a wildlife sanctuary administered by the Department of Conservation and is a popular day trip from Auckland.

It's 6 pm on a bleak winter night in 2012, and the bar at Goose Island brewery in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood is quiet—except for the sobs coming from an attractive, well-put-together woman perched at the counter. Seated next to her is Bela Gandhi, founder and president of Smart Dating Academy, who listens intently as the woman, one of Gandhi's clients, pours out her story. She'd been on eight dates with a wonderful man who seemed to adore her; he had taken her home for Christmas to meet his family. But after the holidays, the man suddenly stopped calling. "Why did I not see this coming?" she wails.
"Who does that!" exclaims Gandhi, her gold earrings jingling against her jet-black hair. "Most likely his behavior had more to do with him than with you. Thank goodness you found out now, after eight dates, not eight months." She advises her client to go on a six-week "dating detox" regimen, which includes sending a daily email to Gandhi listing the things for which she's grateful.
The practice, says Gandhi, helps to restore a positive outlook. Coaching clients through a breakup or the aftermath of a date gone sour is one of the services Gandhi offers at Smart Dating Academy. But her main mission is to help women and men find the love of their lives. "There's nothing more important," she says. Since starting her business in 2009, she's guided hundreds of people through the minefields of modern dating, charging $850 (a single consultation) to $10,000 for her insights.
Since high school, Gandhi has loved setting up her friends on dates and giving relationship advice, but she never dreamed she could turn her passion into a business. "I grew up in a family where it was like, 'You can be a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer or a business person,' " she says. After getting an undergraduate finance degree, she joined her family's chemical company, which manufactured nonstick coatings for cookware. When a large corporation bought the business, she stayed on, rising to vice president. She headed a division with more than 100 employees and put in up to 30 weeks of business travel each year. She had to have supplemental pages added to her passport to fit all the stamps.
Every time she was in an airport, she scoured the magazines for love-related coverlines. She read every relationship book she could find (favorites include John Gottman's The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, Helen Fisher's Why Him? Why Her? and Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough by Lori Gottlieb). Whenever she met an interesting single guy, she immediately considered which of her girlfriends she could set him up with. In 1999, when two friends she'd introduced announced their engagement, she practically did a cartwheel in her living room. "Remember that old poster 'Rules for Success?' " she says. "Number one is 'Marry the right person.' " She followed her own advice when she married Andy Annacone, who had been just a friend through high school and college before she realized he would make the ideal husband. "Don't wait six years like I did," she now counsels women who are considering their male friends as potential partners.
After Gandhi left the chemical company in 2006 to raise her two children, she started thinking about other careers. She enjoyed painting and considered turning the hobby into a small business. But she found making art lonely. "This was the hardest period in my life," she says. "I had the nagging feeling that I wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing. It was haunting."
In 2009 she applied for a job at a well-known dating service in Chicago but, despite sending her résumé again and again, never got a response.

Muskogee police investigate deadly shooting early Thursday; suspect in custody
MUSKOGEE, Okla. - Police have arrested the suspect involved in a shooting Thursday morning in Muskogee.
Keenen Major, 17, was arrested on complaint of first degree murder.
Police say Major will be charged as an adult in the case.
Police responded to 28th and West Okmulgee Street where the victim, 18-year-old Dangelo Grayson, was found dead in his car.
Officers were notified just after 6 a.m. that a shooting occurred in a nearby alley.
Lynn Turner, who lives next door to the shooting scene, says she thought she was hearing firecrackers Thursday morning.
"Early this morning, policeman came to the door and wanted to know if I'd heard anything or seen anything and I really hadn't. Just the fireworks that I thought I'd heard,' she said.
No motive has been determined.
"Believe they were acquainted. However what their relationship is, I don't know," said Cpl. Michael Mahan with the Muskogee Police Department.
Turner says that while this kind of violence has never occurred this close to her home in her eight years living on West Okmulgee Street, she isn't surprised.
"I see too much violence around here every day, and when you pick up the paper, that all you see and hear about," she said. "It's scary. There's too many kids with guns and too much violence going on."
Mahan says this is the city's fifth homicide of 2014. According to Mahan, there were six homicides in 2011 and one in each 2012 and 2013.
Major will be charged an adult in the case.

Re: Differences between Dell U2410, U2412m and U2413?
I have decided to go for the 2413 after much agonising as it will serve me better for what I want to use it for at the moment. If there seems to be any problems though we will probably return it and go for the 2412m.
Its arriving tomorrow.... fingers and toes crossed!!

Cabot Creamery Visitors Center
Cabot, VT 05647
Phone: 802-563-2231
This nearly 100-year-old co-op buys milk from more than 1,200 dairy farms all over New England and upstate New York. From grocery-store staples to award-winning aged varieties and cave-ripened cloth-bound cheddars (a collaboration with Greensboro's Jasper Hill Farm), fine cheese is a priority.
–Yankee Magazine, May/June 2011
800-837-4261. Main St., Cabot. Best bet: Try the Private Stock Cheddar (it's simultaneously sharp and creamy). The total addict can buy a 38-pound waxed wheel of Cabot's finest sharp or extra-sharp cheddar for $5.19 per pound. The roasted garlic cheddar wasn't bad either, but 38 pounds of it would be a lot.

An interesting phenomenon occurs now and then in response to editorials we write about controversial topics.
People ask us to cancel their subscriptions.
We respect everyone's right to have opinions that differ from our own, and we certainly respect the right to read or reject the Perry County News. But we're curious: What do our readers expect of us? Are we expected to never express a view someone might find objectionable?
That would be difficult to do.

There have been dozens of articles about the improbability of the St. Louis Cardinals' 2011 playoff run that culminated in one of the most exciting World Series of all time.
I am not a sportswriter so I'm not going to pretend that anything I write is a meaningful contribution to the thousands of words that have already been committed to the Cardinals. Instead, I wanted to write about my favorite team, my favorite sport, and my family.

Earlier this month, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack laid out his priorities for the upcoming farm bill. This bill is about a whole lot more than farming: it's about supporting the jobs of the future, it's about keeping pace with the changing needs of agriculture and rural America and it's about providing a food supply for the nation.

Jack-o'-lanterns on porch steps, cardboard tombstones sprouting from lawns like toadstools and far too many homes wrapped in fake cobwebs can point to only one thing: Halloween is nearly here.
I'll welcome nieces, nephews and maybe a few neighborhood kids to my door for treats today, but I've come to the conclusion that it's Thanksgiving — not Halloween — that most deserves a slot on October's calendar.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been criticized for less-than-stellar performances in debates among Republican presidential candidates this fall and even admitted, "Debates are not my strong suit."
But the audience at the Sept. 7 debate cheered when he took credit for 234 executions in Texas during his tenure as governor.
That only proves a point we have made before: Capital punishment dehumanizes and brings out barbaric instincts in us.
I'm hearing a lot about the urgency of Indiana's becoming a "right-to-work" state.
What a dulcet phrase! Everyone these days hungers to get or keep a job.
But "right-to-work" is a euphemism for "right-to-employ-(or-fire)-at-will." The company becomes the unchecked power. Any worker protections gained since Teddy Roosevelt's Progressive days are "disappeared" like Third-World dissidents.
As a public-school teacher of 21 years I am familiar with such double-speak.
One of my interim study committee assignments is serving on the Committee on Employment Issues. This group is studying two key issues: Right to Work and Project Labor Agreements. We have conducted three full days of hearing from all perspectives: union leaders and members, business leaders, economic developers and site selectors.
Right-to-work legislation means that an employee cannot be required to join a union or to pay union dues in order to hold a job. It does not decertify nor has it been found to cause decertification of unions.
By GLENN MARKIEWICZ, Guest Columnist
I'm writing this because of the article that Mr. Robinson wrote in a national magazine, the American Cooner. I would like to first say I never met this man in my life, so how can he say such outlandish things like I'm against hunting?
I am not against hunting. I know many people who hunt and I have family members who hunt. I know hunting is a natural order in life and if we didn't hunt, this world would be overpopulated with animals we would not know what to do with.

Why can't you see?
Why won't you stop?
You are going down
Does your life stand for anything
Ask yourself this
They watch you fall
Question friendship
Betrayed by the ones that you hold close
The ones that can lie to your face
With no sorrow, with no remorse
There is no tie
That binds moment of thought
Now you have gone too far
You are the one at stake, you are at fault
Why can't you see?
Why won't you stop?
You are going down
Does your life stand for anything?
You are the one at fault
No more time to waste
Do not give them satisfaction
Do not give them the best of you

Jim Ross has a new blog entry available on his official website. Below are the highlights:
Last Thursday at Full Sail University in Orlando the WWE produced its best three hours of NXT to date. It was one of the most enjoyable TV tapings that I can recall being involved with in quite some time. The single elimination tournament which featured the quarterfinals and semi finals at last Thursday's tapings produced some outstanding bouts and saw some young talents really reach down and turn it on.
NXT does not air in the USA nor do I know if or when it will. I do know that we are getting ample feedback on the show from Twitter followers @JRsBBQ from several countries that does air NXT. It's a one hour show originating from an intimate 500 seat arena which features a unique atmosphere in today's WWE world and is shot in HD.
I do not know of any plans for WWE.com to air NXT to answer a frequently asked question. NXT is wrestling heavy and, arguably, features more in ring content than any other WWE program.
Gerald Brisco/Kurt Angle Fiasco (For those that missed it, you can catch-up here):
Jerry Brisco, who was Kurt's mentor in WWE and who was the contact between the HOF and Kurt on coming to Waterloo, was especially disheartened that Angle was unable to make the event after accepting the invitation to be there. Things happen with everyone's schedule and all I know is that Kurt had a unforeseen personal obligation come up at the 11th hour that prevented him from attending. To mask his disappointment, Jerry had a little fun with Kurt not being there in addition to the video that Kurt sent not playing due to a technical issue, and then offering to "auction off" Angle's award and donate the money to the Hall of Fame. There was actually ONE bidder at the banquet and so the award was "sold" for $250. By the way, Brisco, a survivor of three strokes, will never replace the auctioneer on @storagewars, for the record.
I tweeted that Kurt was simply unable to attend and that Brisco auctioned off the award for $250 and the ensuing drama began. Obviously, Kurt is getting his award and an impromptu comedy bit/rib has been addressed after multiple knee jerk reactions created a buzz on a slow, news weekend.
Don't be mistaken, many of us were disappointed that we were not able to see an old friend but and stated so but as it bound to happen some things are taken out of context or embellished. For those of us who were instrumental in the early stages of Kurt Angle's career, to see him earn an award such as the Frank Gotch Award is a 'win' for us all. For Kurt to be unable to attend was disappointing to everyone involved, including Angle himself.
Hopefully Kurt can attend next year and enjoy the wonderful, two day affair in Waterloo. I know that he would love to tour the museum loaded with amateur and pro items…and eat at the Brown Bottle. Plus, he could have some fun at Brisco's expense.
Money in the Bank:
Thoroughly thought that I got my money's worth Sunday night when purchasing the MITB PPV. I did not have high expectations of the event going into it but MITB exceeded my expectations. The primary bouts that needed to deliver did, by and large.
Big night for @HeelZiggler aka Dolph Ziggler winning the Smackdown MITB Ladder match and putting on an amazing athletic display.
Thought the @CMPunk vs. @WWEDanielBryan bout was excellent and the match of the night for my money. AJ fit well into the bout and did not adversely affect the outcome and allowed the bulk of the story, bell to bell, to be about the WWE Title, the WWE Champion, and the #1 contender.
@JohnCena winning the Raw MITB bout did not come as a shocker but I didn't buy the PPV to be 'surprised.' Really some hard work by all in that final bout. Very impressed with every man's effort.
1000th Raw:
I'm asked multiple times daily via twitter @JRsBBQ if I'm going ot be at Raw 1000 next week in St. Louis. I hope so and I think that I will know something conclusive by mid week, yeah or nay.

Hopefully, the attitude of the Tennessee Titans players doesn't reflect their leadership. If so, it could be an expensive NFL season.
Titans defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil flipped his middle finger at an official during the second quarter of the Denver Bronco's 26-20 win against the Titans Sunday. Cecil didn't agree with a neutral infraction zone call which led to the Broncos first touchdown.
Orlando native Chris Johnson rushed for 53 yards on 19 carries marking his second sub 100 yard rushing performance this season, thus making it almost impossible for him to reach his 2,500 season rushing goal.
There has been no official word about how much Cecil's fine will be just yet, but expect it to be hefty says profootballtalk.com.
You would expect Cecil to get chewed out by the Titans front office, but that's unlikely considering the Titans owner Bud Adams was fined $250,000 himself last year for showing off two middle fingers against the Buffalo Bills. Cecil was also fined $20,000 last season for verbal abuse towards an official during a 42-17 loss to San Diego.
I'm sure there isn't a football coach or player that doesn't want to flip off an official at some point during every NFL game, but you expect the coaches to show a little more composure.
Considering that Adams received a stiff penalty and New York Jets coach Rex Ryan was fined $50,000 for flipping the bird during the offseason at a MMA event in South Florida, how much do you think Cecil should get fined?

Dec. 15, 2012
SEATTLE -- Washington (6-2) followed a familiar script, falling behind big and rallying in the second half, but Saturday it could not quite complete the comeback, losing to UC Santa Barbara (4-5), 54-46. The Dawgs rallied from 17 down get within one, but got no closer.
"It was disappointing," said head coach Kevin McGuff. "I thought mentally we didn't come out the way we needed to and give credit to Santa Barbara because they played harder than us for most of the game."
Washington struggled with its shooting all game, but particularly early on, missing its first eight shots and falling behind 8-0. UC Santa Barbara built a big lead by shooting 40 percent in the half and owning a 26-17 edge on the glass.
The Dawgs shot 18.8 percent in the half and trailed 25-8 with 4:14 left in the first half. From there, Washington finally got its offense going, finishing the half on a 9-2 run to get within 10 at the break. Jazmine Davis led the Dawgs with nine in the first half, but UW made just six field goals, including just 2-12 from 3-point range.
The momentum that went into the half did not carry over as Washington again struggled offensively, failing to score for the first 4:03 of second half. Finally, at the 15:57 mark, Kristi Kingma earned a hustle steal in the backcourt and knocked down a three and momentum seemed to tilt towards the Huskies.
Over the next three minutes, Washington went on a 10-0 run and pulled to within three, trailing just 30-27. Davis began to get her offense going, getting to the basket, scoring from the foul line and knocking down a three.
Washington traded baskets until a Talia Walton three got UW to within one, 34-33, but Washington would get no closer. Santa Barbara went on a 9-0 run of its own and pushed the lead back to double digits.
"I thought we had the game where we wanted it, but then we had some mental breakdowns and missed shots that we need to finish," said McGuff. "Santa Barbara kept playing even though their lead got whittled down and to their credit played hard and wanted to win more than we did."
The Huskies struggled to score down the stretch and UCSB closed the game out with free throw, winning by eight as Walton made a three in the final seconds to make the score look closer than it was.
The story for the Huskies was the shooting as UW finished 13-61 from the floor for just 21.3 percent. Washington turned it over just eight times and forced 17 turnovers at the other end, but was unable to capitalize.
Davis finished with 20 points to lead the Huskies, but shot just 6-20 from the floor. Aminah Williams grabbed 10 rebounds to give her six-straight games in double figures. Overall, UCSB outrebounded the Dawgs, 47-36.
Washington will have a chance for redemption less than 24 hours later as it hosts Idaho back at Alaska Airlines Arena at 1 p.m. McGuff intentionally scheduled a back-to-back to give the Huskies a look at what postseason tournament play will be like.

As the saying goes, "better late than never". Words were never as true as when I stumbled across a rock trio hailing out of Austin, Texas by the name of Fastball. That was in 2008, ten years removed from their smash hit "The Way", which charted at number 4 on Billboard in 1998. It was on the strength of that pop single that I purchased the album "All the Pain Money Can Buy" and immediately found myself listening to it from track number 1 to track number 13 as it kept looping through my car's compact disc player. The songs were each distinct, catchy and guitar based. Every song was a short story that could stand alone on its own. It left me wanting more. That's what great songwriting does I have found, it leaves the listener wanting more.
At the same time that I was discovering a band that was already a decade old, Miles Zuniga and Fastball were hard at work putting together their fifth studio album, "Little White Lies". The songwriter who always believed that he would make it big someday had done exactly that. On the strength of the single "The Way", 1.25 million copies of "All the Pain Money Can Buy" were sold. Fastball collected two Grammy nominations and was on a path that would land them in the Austin Music Hall of Fame. They had made late night appearances on Leno and Conan and were riding a wave of success that every aspiring musician dreams about as they plunk out their first chords on a guitar.
Miles Zuniga and Fastball have survived and thrived for nearly two decades now. He has released one solo effort, "These Ghosts Have Bones" in 2011 and promises another is in the works. He was getting ready to play a show in Austin on the night I spoke to him and then he will be off to Japan. Ah, the sweet taste of success. It's, as succulent as a Texas barbecue. Following are excerpts from the interview I did with the singer and songwriter on April 25th, 2014. Maybe after reading this you'll find yourself like I did, cruising the Internet and filling out your music collection with dozens of cleverly crafted and highly contagious compositions courtesy of the creative mind of Miles Zuniga Singer/songwriter, guitarist, pianist/keyboardist and vocalist of the two-time Grammy nominated band Fastball.
Kjelden: Thank you for taking time today to speak with me.
Miles: No worries.
Kjelden: I have a couple of factoids. I'm going to use you as the compass to verify if these are accurate or if they are Internet falsehoods.
Miles: Okay.
Kjelden: Prior to settling on the name "Fastball" for your band, they list one prior name that was considered for the band as "Ed Clark's Business Bible". True or false?
Miles: (laughing) No, that's not true. I don't know who came up with that.
Kjelden: It's on Wikipedia.
Miles: Well, that's just somebody having fun. (laughing) "Ed Clark's Business Bible?" Who is Ed Clark, that's what I want to know? (still laughing)
Kjelden: That was my follow-up question. (laughing) That just totally killed it. I guess we put that myth to rest.
Miles: We've debunked that one.
Kjelden: The band hails from Austin, Texas? True or false.
Miles: True.
Kjelden: Are you from Austin originally yourself?
Miles: No. I'm from Laredo, Texas.
Kjelden: Austin, Texas is arguably one of the nicest cities in the United States. True or false?
Miles: It used to be.
Kjelden: It's changing?
Miles: Everyone figured that out and now it's not. It's too crowded. It wasn't built for all these people and we're starting to experience a lot of the problems many other big cities have. There's a lot of traffic. People aren't as nice as they used to be and everyone's a little more stressed. As a long-time resident, it's a drag.
Kjelden: You were probably used to the quaintness and had your favorite spots right?
Miles: It (Austin) was funky and laid back. It's no longer funky and laid back. There used to be what was called "the Austin groove". There are still pockets of "the Austin groove", but overall it has been paved over quite literally.
Kjelden: Fastball is a three piece band, which means the entire band is equal to the size of Molly Hatchet's guitar section. True or false?
Miles: Right, that is true, but when we play live there is an extra guy so I guess that's no longer true.
Kjelden: (sarcastically) Well actually when Molly Hatchet played live I think there were four guitars.
Miles: That other thing you talked about, Austin being one of the most beautiful cities. I mean it was important in the sense that Austin was a very livable place. It was cheap to live. It was easy to make the rent. When I first moved here my rent was $150 a month and that meant you could actually be a musician. At $150 a month that was three gigs. You could cobble it together. You didn't have to go off and work some job. I had some part-time job, but I think I worked maybe twenty hours a week. I had all this free time to work on the music. That's really important. An artist needs that. If a city gets expensive and stuff, it becomes hard for the artist if not impossible for the artist to solely focus on their craft and then they might just give it up. I think that's a key ingredient in any good music scene is the livability.
Kjelden: The city at that time, Austin, had a reputation for bringing smaller bands along. Is that true?
Miles: Back then there were a lot of clubs to play so you go down there and they give you a Tuesday night and you see if you can make it to Friday. You see if you can get enough of a buzz going to where you're drawing enough people so they put you on Friday instead of Tuesday. Then your goal is to play there twice a month instead of once a month. Then your goal is to play Houston and then your goal is to play Dallas. There were plenty of clubs. It was easy to live and those things are important when you're starting a band.
Kjelden: It's been 20 years almost since your first album. When you originally formed the band, did you foresee that we've got something special here and this could go somewhere? Did you have those big dreams?
Miles: Totally! I always had big dreams. Luckily I was naïve enough to believe those dreams would come true you know. If I was realistic about what I was doing I probably wouldn't have been able to go through everything we had to go through. There's a lot of uncertainty. I was naïve. I wasn't looking at it from a statistical point of view or a sober point of view. I was looking at it from, "I want to be a rock and roll star and I'm gonna be". (laughing heartily)
Kjelden: I like that. That attitude goes with the creative mind.
Miles: Will it and make manifest. That doesn't mean that I can want to be a millionaire or I can want to be a world class tennis player and it will happen. Or for me to say I want to play on a minor league team. None of those things could happen. You can sit and wish and will all you want, but I don't have the aptitude (for those things). Music at that particular point and time was totally possible. At that time of my life I just had to make it more possible.
Kjelden: When you're younger and you're not tied down you can take some risks.
Miles: It's essential that you take risks. And it's essential that you cut off any (pauses); my parents used to always tell me you need something to fall back on. That's like the worst advice, because if you have something to fall back on you might consider falling. If you know there is a net you might say, "you know this is too hard so I'm just gonna let myself go". (laughs heartily) When you can't do that, when there's nothing and when your job resume looks like a blank sheet of paper (laughs again) aside from the one or two jobs you've been fired from. There's nowhere to go. This better f…in work. (laughs) That's really important. You need to have total commitment and total dedication to what you're doing and eliminate any doubt. It's as if you were in a shipwreck and the ship sank and you're in a rowboat. You can't start thinking about dying of dehydration or the boat sinking and getting eaten by sharks. You've gotta think about living. You've gotta think about making it back. It all goes together. It's a mindset.
Kjelden: It's survival mode.
Miles: It's a commitment being a musician all the way around. Not just committed to the idea of being a musician. It's a belief in what you're playing and what you're putting out and constantly improving what you're playing and what you're putting out. There's nothing I hate more than seeing an entertainer who you know, they are not all that committed. They're lackadaisical about it maybe because it's just a hobby or something. That's fine, but it bothers me as someone who drank the Kool-Aid and is fully invested in music. I think of music as a privilege and a vocation and a calling. I don't like to see her disrespected. I like to see people playing at the edge of their ability. I like to see them fully invested in trying to make the songs sing and soar. When I see someone just kind of phoning it in or joking around or they didn't rehearse and so they sound like shit but they don't really care because, "a ha ha ha we're just knocking around". I'm like get off the f...ing stage and let someone else who really wants to be there, be there.
Kjelden: I remember saving up my money and waiting to see a band when I was sixteen and the lead singer stumbled onto the stage and belched into the microphone and it went downhill from there because he was so trashed. It was so disappointing.
Miles: Yeah, that's weak. It can get tiring as an entertainer to have to do approximately the same thing night after night and travel. It's not an easy life but the thing is, you signed up for this gig. No one put a gun to your head and said you had to do it. If you're actually able to make a living at it you're f..ing lucky and you should consider yourself lucky. Honor your gift and honor the fact that people like it enough so that you don't have to do anything else. I don't have time for people that aren't going to give it their all every time they get on stage. It takes care of itself because there are too many other great entertainers. It's very Darwinian. It isn't like there are bad entertainers clogging up the stages.
Kjelden: I'm gonna step back in time. You guys released the first album and it had modest success.
Miles: (laughs) No, it had no success. I'm not sure you can use the word success with that first record in terms of sales.
Kjelden: But then the song "The Way" put you guys on the map in a big way with a million plus sales. So you go from being this guy that's been busting his hump writing songs, practicing, finding gigs around Austin, to sitting in the green room at Leno or Conan. What is that like? Is it surreal?
Miles: It was like a dream come true, it really was. We went from zero to two thousand miles per hour. Every last bit of it was fantastic. It was a blur. Once it gets cranked up and going there is a machine pushing you. Your song is on the radio every hour or two hours in cities all over the country. You roll into a town and there's your face on the cover of the weekly. It was great, but it's hard. It's a hard life because you're working the whole time. You're not just rolling up to the gig and walking on stage and then going to have some wine somewhere; that's not what's happening. You're getting up at six in the morning and going to a radio station and then another radio station and then if they can, another radio station. Then you go to the record store and play the in-store and then you go to sound check and take pictures with the contest winners. Then you go to dinner with the label and the sales people and then you play the gig. After that you're free to do whatever you want. At this point it's eleven o'clock or midnight. You have to be up at six in the morning again but what are you going to do, go to bed? No, you're not going to bed! You finally now have the chance to do whatever you want.
Kjelden: In terms of songwriting do you do most of it on the piano or the guitar?
Miles: Whatever I happen to be around when the idea starts to come.
Kjelden: Do you come up with the lyrics first or the melody line first?
Miles: Almost always the music.
Kjelden: On "You're an Ocean" off the album, "The Harsh Light of Day", Billy Preston (http://www.billypreston.net/) came in and played on the album. He's such a music legend. How did that come about?
Miles: Julian just knew him and called him up and he came down for an hour and a half.
Kjelden: Were you in the studio when it was being done?
Miles: Oh yeah! I was definitely going to be in the studio. That's a guy who played on "Get Back". He was on "Don't Let Me Down". He's all over that "Let it Be" record and he's on some Rolling Stone stuff. I was definitely gonna be there.
Kjelden: Brian Setzer (http://www.briansetzer.com/) was on that album too. Was that through a musical connection?
Miles: I think I just ran into him at the House of Blues and I asked him if he would come and play on it and he said "yeah". He (Setzer) was fantastic. He's a really cool dude. Billy Preston was a little standoffish. We didn't hang out for hours. It was kind of like he came in and did his bit. Setzer was great. We were hanging out and he was really cool and I love that song "I Won't Stand in Your Way" by the Stray Cats. I learned the guitar solo and I played it for him and he said, "I play it like this". I was playing it all wrong. (laughs)
Kjelden: So if you have an upcoming solo project coming up you could call him up and say "Hey Brian".
Miles: I probably could.
Kjelden: How often do you sit down to write music now?
Miles: I try to write one song a week.
Kjelden: When you sit down with the guitar or at the piano, and this could go for you or any other songwriter, you don't know if the song you are going to write could be the next "Let it be" or "Stairway to Heaven". You may have that next great song that is going to carry forward for the next fifty years inside you and it just hasn't come out yet. Does that go through your mind?
Miles: No.
Kjelden: Maybe I need to subliminally plant it in there.
Miles: Look, I've written a few that I think if the right person recorded them they could be a huge song and then I'd be famous for writing the song. I've already written some that I think are very good. I wrote a song "Hopelessly Blue" that Kat Edmonson put on an album and I thinks it's one of the best songs I've ever written. It's the only time even with all of the Fastball success, it's the only time that people have stopped me on the street and asked, "Did you write that song Hopelessly Blue" and they're like, God that's an amazing song. I never think about that when I'm writing it. After it's written or whatever and you're playing it you quickly find out how good they are or how bad they are. Sometimes you write a song and you think its okay and the people flip out so you don't ever really know.
Kjelden: Any chance of coming to Florida?
Miles: I don't know. That just depends if something comes along. We're having kind of a quiet year this year.Last year we did a big ass tour. We're all working on other stuff pretty much
Kjelden: I may have to migrate over to Austin and battle my way through a million people to see you. I don't want to take any more of your time I know you have a gig tonight.
Miles: We're playing at The Strange Brew tonight in Austin.
Kjelden: Twenty years as a band or as a performer is admirable. So thank you for making the time for me.
Miles: Well thank you and good luck to you.
There's another saying that goes something like this, "mind over matter". Miles Zuniga was working the high-wire that straddled the precarious world of making a living as a working musician without a net. He could have had a "Plan B" but that would have meant that failure was an option, and for a songwriter working on guts, faith and raw talent there would be no need for an escape plan.
Miles is still on that tightrope, writing music and playing to audiences. He has survived twenty years in a business that swallows people's hopes and dreams and regurgitates them as sour milk. Miles Zuniga has never looked back and he has never looked down. He keeps his focal point out in front of himself. He's not afraid of failure and he's not afraid of falling into shark infested waters. He had a dream to be a rock star and in the blink of an eye, he was one. I for one believe that his greatest song is still inside of him waiting to be born. There could have been a net strung beneath him just waiting for him to jump when the roadblocks to success kept persisting. Thankfully he stayed on that wire and looked to the future. As long as there are songwriter's there will be dreams, in Miles Zuniga's case it is a dream fulfilled.

The teen years were not kind to our skin, and unfortunately we have the scars to prove it. And we don't want to prove it. On bad days we sort of wish it were acceptable to spackle ourselves like bad drywall, but since that probably won't fly, we reach for MAKE UP FOR EVER Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Cream ($32). Invisibly smooth, waterproof, and offered in a skin-toned rainbow of shades, it's the perfect way to keep us out of the hardware store.

The NYPD Twitter account has backfired on New York City's finest in a big way. The newly created #MyNYPD asked folks if they had a picture with a member of the NYC Police Department to tweet it, thinking this would be a positive campaign. Their visions of pictures depicting things like cops helping old folks across the street soon imploded as pictures of some horrific-looking acts were tweeted instead.
According to CNN News on April 23, some of the pictures didn't depict the officers as the police department might have hoped for. Many of the photos were sent with comical captions like a picture of a man screaming with his arms behind his back as he is being held down by NYC police officers. The caption reads: "Free Massages from the #NYPD. What does YOUR Police Department offer?"
As USA Today suggests people took to the Twitter page of New York's finest to show their versions of police brutality in pictures. Police did think that this Twitter account would be a great place for New Yorkers and visitors alike to post pictures of New York's finest in pictures like the cop that purchased a pair of boots for a homeless man. Instead they got some brutal-looking photos.
Another picture had a woman in obvious distress as she's being arrested and one cop is pulling her hair. The caption for that picture read: "The #NYPD will also help you de-tangle your hair." The response to this new Twitter campaign was "overwhelmingly negative," reports CNN today.
The police department is the first to admit it backfired, but it is staying up as this was meant to get people talking about the NYPD. The media caught up with the NYPD Deputy Chief Kim Y. Royster who defended the Twitter page regardless of all the backlash. Royster said:
"The NYPD is creating new ways to communicate effectively with the community. Twitter provides an open forum for an uncensored exchange and this is an open dialogue good for our city."
Another officer did say this is not what they expected, but they wanted to get attention and the new Twitter account did that and then some! The hashtag was hijacked and folks had a field day posting these pictures depicting cops in seemingly deplorable arrest photos. This is a case of be careful what you ask for because you might just get it!
To be fair you don't know what preceded these photos. You are not told if the people in the pictures getting arrested just took a swing at a cop or if they were resisting arrest, so they are one-sided. This NYPD Twitter page sparked others to crop up across the country.
Critics of police brutality created hashtags for other cities including #MyLAPD, for Los Angeles, #MyCPD for Chicago and #MyAPD for Albuquerque, New Mexico. Pictures similar to the arrest pictures posted on NYPD's Twitter page started popping up on the other cities' new Twitter pages.
Some of the pictures posted under the hashtags for the other cities seemed even more brutal than what New York's police Twitter page saw. In Chicago a cop looked as if he was about to punch someone with a camera. The caption for this picture read: #myCPD extending his fist out to the community."

Many tributes and reflections on the significance of Carter have been penned already, including this remembrance in the New York Times. So I won't try to do anything like that, but instead, I will just say that for me personally, Carter's music serves as a constant reminder that uncompromising complexity has a place in art. It carves out a vast space where modernism is not only still permissible, but relevant. Carter was the last of the true modernists of this country, after Ives and Varèse. What role his aesthetic will play in the future is up to all the composers out there who hear and respond to it, which is to say, all of us.

Some WORDS
I'd like to thank all the people who have sent me email, for the kind words, encouragement and some of the weirdest requests ever. I hope people continue to find something they like on my homepage, and that I can continue to provide a source of information to people around the world since this tiny thing I created in cyberspace is global.
In the future I will add some of the requests I get from people on various topics. This will give people a better idea of what kind of questions I am not able to answer. Last but not least remember your words may be next on here.....
"Congrats on your excellent page! I really love it! Keep it up! I have one favor to ask you, can you translate "I love you" to Mohawk? Thanks and Happy New Year Henrique D'Aguiar Portugal"
"Also, I am looking to find a symbol that represents Iroqouis. What is the symbol above your x-files link? Or if you have any other suggestions. thanks. please feel free to email back to me at this address or at firstname.lastname@example.com"
"I was wondering if you could tell me the Mohawk word for bright skies? Thanks for any help you could give!! Stephen A. Carbone"
"if you can help me i would certainly appreciate it. my father told us as we were growing up that he was a little over 1/4 iroquois. where do i begin to research this? i cannot ask him or his family as they are deceased; and i would really like to know. I do not know from which tribe he was decended ( he was from connecticut) can you help me? thank-you Laurie Abbey"
"Could you help me in my search of finding someone who could send me information on how to de Raised Beadwork. My husband's family is from the Six Nation and our family would like to learn this type of beadwork. Most of my husband's family have walked on and no one know how to do Raised Beadwork. Thank you for your help! Patricia Komondy-Brant (Ronald Komondy-Brant)"
"She:kon, I stumbled across your site late last night, I found you a rather intriguing, humorous free spirit. Your words rang true in your respect for a Matriarchal society, and I loved the controversy you bring to the people...keep them on their toes my friend. I read your poetry and some of the stories you have put on your site, for a young man you have much insight Kim"
"My name is Erin Raab and I heard and interesting story about Iroquois culture and was wondering if you could tell me more about it. Basically, what I understand is that Iroquois think seven generations ahead in their actions. Do you know where this came from or any more about it? I would really appreciate it if you could let me know either way. Thanks! Erin"
The End.... MORE COMING...

On the day that I visited my father-in-law in the ICU at New York Hospital, I discovered he had been moved from a windowless room to one across the hall with a view of the East River. The cityscape would be a welcome distraction from his frail, ashen body, IV lines, and beeping machines. My father-in-law, an obese man, was now at his lowest weight.
It was October and Dad, 67, was going into his third month in the hospital, receiving treatment for an antibiotic-resistant infection he had acquired back in June, most likely during a hospitalization for cellulitis. It had been several weeks since I had seen him so I made the trip up from Pennsylvania. When I arrived, a nurse was hooking him up to a dialysis machine. "How's my Melissa?" he asked. He smiled, but his voice lacked the spark I was used to hearing when he addressed me this way.
"I'm good," I said, leaning over to kiss him. I offered the fresh-squeezed orange juice and blueberry muffin I had bought for him, but he waved it away. He introduced me to his nurse, telling her that I was his son Brad's wife and the mother of his two oldest grandchildren. I sat down in the metal chair across from his bed and brought him up to speed on the girls. He asked about Brad's work, wanting to know why he was taking on more administrative duties in his medical practice. I told him that he enjoyed the business side of medicine and was planning to go back to school for an MBA. I didn't share that he had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, preventing him from operating and forcing him to spend more time in the office.
Unlike times when I had visited Dad with my husband and my mother-in-law, who are comfortable discussing health issues and providing hands-on care, now there were awkward pauses. At one point, I went to the window and commented on the view. I doodled on the dry erase board, where the nurse had written her name and the date. I returned to my chair and knocked over the orange juice I had set on the floor. As I jumped up to look for paper towels, Dad shouted, "Leave it! She'll clean it up!" motioning to the nurse on the other side of the glass wall. I wondered if the pain caused him to react so harshly.
While the nurse's aid mopped up the juice, I rummaged through my purse, trying to hide my uneasiness.
"Really, you don't have to stay," he said. "I'm sure there're things you need to do before you head back."
"I can stay a little longer," I said.
"It's fine, I'm tired."
"I guess I'll get going then."
I gathered my things and kissed him goodbye. I put my hand on his shoulder, but couldn't bring myself to lean in for a hug.
As I walked from the hospital, I felt bad about leaving. I'd been considered the kind and patient one. My husband, his brother and sister had admitted to screening Dad's daily calls, while I was quick to answer them. I'd listen while he'd talk about some supermarket bargain or give a movie review. Then, he inquired about my family, asking about my grandparents' health and how my mother was faring under the stress of caregiving.
Before he was "Dad," he was Mr. S. The summer before college, Mr. S. hired me as a temp at his law firm. Brad and I had been dating for two months, but were classmates since elementary school. Mr. S. was the man who saved the day when one of the school buses broke down during our fifth-grade trip to Philadelphia. He chartered a coach bus to take us back to northern New Jersey, paying the driver in cash.
At the office, he spent hours on the phone, brokering deals, arranging client meetings and talking politics. When I appeared with files or message slips, he'd motion for me to set them down and then go on with what he was doing. I don't think he said more than 10 words to me that summer at work. But, at home, he was the first to ask me to stay for dinner and invite me to join in on weekend plans. We'd be sitting around the dining room table or out by the pool, and he'd recount stories from his alma mater, where I was enrolled. He also shared stories from Brad's childhood. On one occasion, he pulled out reels of family movies. But when he couldn't get the Super 8 projector to work, I mentioned that my dad had one just like it.
"Run home and get it," he said. "And, bring us your home movies so we can see how cute you were when you were little."
By next summer, I felt like part of the family. One evening, Brad had a work dinner in New York and asked me to meet up with him afterward. When Mr. S. heard I was planning to take the train alone, he insisted on driving me. We made small talk, and then he broached the subject of Brad and me and our recent rocky period.
"I just want you to know that when Brad was acting like a jerk and taking you for granted, it was because he was scared," he said.
"What do you mean?"
"He told me you're the best thing that's ever happened to him, and he doesn't want to lose you. Sometimes, we push the one we love away to keep from getting hurt," he explained.
"Oh," I said.
"He loves you."
"I know."
Then I got quiet. It felt strange to have this conversation with an adult male. The one time my own father had approached me with advice on relationships, he squirmed and avoided eye contact, and I was uncomfortable too. Without history or baggage, it was easy to talk to Mr. S.
When Dad died that November, I asked my husband and my mother-in-law if I could speak at his funeral. "Of course," they said. Brad would speak, then me, followed by his brother and sister. Hours before the service, I asked Brad if he thought his brother and sister were upset that I was giving a eulogy.
"Why would you think that?" he asked.
"I'm just an in-law," I said. "Besides, when the three of you tease each other about being Dad's favorite, inevitably, one of you adds, 'actually, it's Melissa.'"
"Don't be ridiculous," I said. "He loved you."
I know I wasn't Dad's favorite. But, I was his Melissa.

A new dinosaur belonging to a group of large plant eaters known as titanosaurs is the most complete giant dinosaur fossil ever unearthed. The Patagonia dinosaur is the only titanosaur ever found that has all the bones necessary to make an accurate estimate of the animal's weight and size. Dr. Kenneth Lacovara, an associate professor in Drexel University's College of Arts and Sciences, and an international team of scientist uncovered the monster dinosaur between 2005 and 2009. The discovery was reported in the Sept. 4, 2014, edition of the journal Scientific Reports.
The gigantic beast weighed about 65 tons and was at least 85 feet long. The animal the researchers found was not yet an adult. Two of the Dreadnoughtus schrani dinosaurs were found in the same spot. The animals were buried quickly in a flood. This tragic event resulted in the quality of the fossils.
Dreadnoughtus was a herbivore. The animal probably browsed the tops of trees and larger plants about 77 million years ago in a temperate forest. The dinosaur had a 37-foot-long neck and a 30-foot-long tail. The tail provided balance for the head and neck.
The find includes almost everything but the head. Almost 70 percent of the bones of the animal's body have been exhumed from the rock it was buried in. The find included the thigh bone and the upper bone of the limbs. These two bones allow an exact calculation of the animal's size and weight.
Other dinosaurs of extreme size have been found in Patagonia and other parts of the world. The majority of the other extremely large dinosaur finds have not included sufficient material to make an accurate calculation of the animal's weight and size possible. A three-dimensional mount of the bones done with laser scans confirmed the dinosaur to be one of the largest ever known.

One night only at the Crocker Art Museum – more info at the link below.
