How To Replace Ignition Cylinder Mazda Mx6
Learning how to replace the ignition cylinder in your Mazda MX6 saves time and a lot of frustration. The role of the ignition cylinder is to unlock the ignition to let the electrical current get to the starter of the Mazda MX6. With enough wear the cylinders can lock up and refuse to work. The tumblers will stop moving and the cylinder freezes. In these cases, the cylinder has to be replaced. This is typically an easy repair that most anyone can perform.
Things You Will Need to Replace the Ignition Cylinder Mazda MX6:
- A one-eighth inch pin
- The ignition key
- A new ignition key cylinder
- Place the key in the ignition cylinder of the Mazda Mx6 and turn it to the position marked with "II".
- Press the one-eighth inch pin into the slot that is on the bottom of the Mazda Mx6 ignition cylinder.
- Press on the one-eighth inch pin with an upward force to make the pin go into the pin slot and move the Mazda Mx6 cylinder retainer lock up.
- Tug on the old Mazda Mx6 ignition cylinder to remove it out of the steering column with the key intact. Remove the key and insert it into the new ignition cylinder.
- Put the new Mazda Mx6 ignition cylinder in place with the key direction pointed to the "II" position. Push in place until you hear the cylinder click in the correct position.
- Return the Mazda Mx6 ignition cylinder key to the "I" position and remove the key.

Facebook Pulls Ultimate Warrior's Latest Hogan Rant, Warrior Blames Hogan
by Amish Patel - August 13, 2011
Ultimate Warrior's Facebook rant in which he called Hulk Hogan a "Vagina Man" and blasted the wrestling legend's daughter Brooke for posing nude for PETA has been removed by the social media empire. The master of the Gorilla Press Slam believes his arch-nemesis cried to Facebook execs to have the dismissive post removed.
Warrior wrote this morning on Twitter, "Terry ran to Facebook Corporate and cried about my "Hey, Terry. Be you, man." note. They removed it. Jesus, Terry, if you are that sensitive and emotional, use some of the exorbitant budget you spend on Viagra and go buy some real gas. Fuck, soon you'll been wearing a dress on TNA for a gimmick."
Hogan, in response, said on Twitter he had no idea Warrior "made another video" and that fans probably reported it. Facebook allows users to report abuse—hate speech, threats, graphic violence and bullying are prohibited on the social networking site.
Hogan also added that he's "praying for Jim."
Warrior has since re-posted the rant on Twitter, which can be accessed here. He also snidely responded to a user remarking that "at least Hogan is on TV."
"Yeah, killing the business and opportunities for young guys to have a shot at their OWN stardom," Warrior replied. "Super."

Convenient for being downtown and MetroPosted Oct 31, 2014
Cons: Pictures are from when the hotel was new, it was deceiving.
Location: Amazing bakery - Diddos, if you are in this location, you have to try it out!
The staff was super helpful, but the room had wallpaper pealing and it just look a little run down. Our TV wouldn't turn off one night and had to sleep with it on, they said they would fix it, no one came. Had to fix it myself the next night.

A very nice hotelPosted Aug 27, 2014
Pros: A very comfortable room and accommodating staff. Fairly close Metro station to get into Paris.
Cons: Not all the staff know the area very well, Expedia lists a self serve laundry, but it's a good five minute walk and we were misdirected the first time
Location: A five minute walk from the Metro, last stop on line 10, but take a taxi to the hotel when carrying luggage, many stairs; good restaurants near Metro.
This hotel is just outside Paris, but still inside the zone for the Metro, the last stop on line 10, about a five minute walk to the hotel. There are two very nice restaurants near the Metro stop, a crape restaurant, which stops serving around 22:00 and an Arts bar on the opposite corner with very good food that stops serving around 23:00. The breakfast in the hotel is a bit pricy, but worth the price, very good. The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. The street outside is quiet.

Paris short stayPosted Aug 19, 2014
Pros: Quiet location yet easy to get into the centre.
Location: Easy access to most sights etc by metro. Pleasant, safe and quiet residential area.
This is a very pleasant hotel, close to the metro line 10 and in a quiet residential area with cafes, shops etc nearby. It was also an easy walk to Stade Jean Bouin (rugby). The staff were very friendly and helpful and the overall experience was very good.

Posted Apr 26, 2014 on Hotels.com
I am very disappointed that when I reached the hotel, I was told that the rooms were all full and am being transferred to another hotel. Wasted my time as i have only left with half day for sight seeing. And I wasn't being informed beforehand. The condition of another hotel wasn't good either.

A very good commercial hotelPosted Apr 17, 2014
Pros: We got four star facilities for two star prices (by taking pot luck)
Cons: From our point of view, nothing.
Location: The Kyriad Prestige is on the outskirts of Paris and requires two metro lines to get to the centre. It is on a quiet residential street.
We stayed here on our honeymoon (we are middle aged 2nd timers) having taken pot luck with 'secret deals(?)' the hotel is a rather bland corporate building, BUT everything is immaculately clean, the staff excellent and all speak English (although my wife speaks French). We had clean linens and towels every day although we only stayed 3 days, and the breakfast was good and plentiful. We really can't fault it in what it sets out to do.

Close to the metro and restutantsPosted Apr 9, 2014

Came in with my niece to purchase a car for her. Sakil was so nice and worked with her. we started talking and i also ended up purchasing a 2014 Hyundai Sonata. Sakil is so professional and worked with me to get me a GREAT deal. I have purchased cars for decades and this was the easiest experience I have ever had. If you go to Southtowne ask for Sakil!!

Who knew I could still surprise myself???
If you had told me on January 3, 2011 as I struggled to run a full 60 seconds at a time, that I would run a half marathon a mere nine weeks later, I would have laughed in your face while I wet my pants! (If you�re in your late 40s or older, especially if you given birth naturally, you�ll understand the reality of that statement) A month before that I would have told you you were crazy because I was THE Anti-Runner!
You see, I hated running with a passion. This wasn�t just an unfounded, emotional hatred. I had plenty to back it up! It hurt my feet. It hurt my ankles. It hurt my knees. My thighs rubbed so much I ended up chafed and raw. I was knee-knocking awkward. I had two left feet. I could go on and on but you get the picture. Who in their right mind would EVER call that enjoyable? Certainly not ME! I had tried to run more than once. This was the voice of experience talking. It never took me long to see the error of my ways. . I have no idea why I would ever have attempted such a foolish measure, JUST to lose weight! Usually the raw, inner thighs, burning balls of my feet and bloody toes brought back my sanity in a flash � or 10 of pain!
So, after all that, why on earth did I attempt the insanity �just one more time�. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. That was me, to a T! That being said, whatever made me think to try it just one more time is beyond me, but I�m SO glad I did!
Yes, you heard me right. I�m SO glad I did!
At some point in the past nine weeks, I went from total klutz and self inflicting masochist to � are you ready for this? ADDICTED!!!! I kept setting the bar higher and higher. I kept reaching my goals and setting new ones. At some point in this frenzy I had a lucid moment where I realized I had actually registered AND PAID for a half marathon! OMGosh, what was I thinking? I had only attempted double digits 3 times and none of them were pretty. My first attempt was a 10.6 mile run in which I did intervals for the first eight miles, at which time if you held a gun to my head and a pint of Ben and Jerry�s in front of my nose, I could not and would not bring myself to run one more step. I could barely put one foot in front of the other, let alone try to boost my body into a run again. By the time I got home, every inch of my body ached and I was totally exhausted. The second time was more of the same. The third time wasn�t quite as pitiful but it was far from pretty. In all three of those attempts I had never exceeded 11 miles and here I had gone and signed up to run 13.1!
Once that sunk in, I started wondering if I could really do it. I didn�t want to be the one who caught a ride back from the local police, or worse yet, the ambulance! I didn�t want to walk across the finish line after everyone else had gone home, or worse yet, as they were packing up to go home! If that happened, they'd actually SEE my pitiful effort! Last week I started thinking maybe I should have a trial run just to see how far off I was from actually completing it. I still had several weeks to train so I figured I should know where I stood now so I could develop a plan of attack that would help me reach my goal of actually crossing the finish line.
Well yesterday, after several days of deliberation, I decided to give it a shot. Much to my surprise, I didn�t SUCK! In fact, I FINISHED in under 3 � hours, which was my goal.
But I did more than finish. I ran the first 7.5 miles nonstop. After a 2/10 mile walk, I went on to run 3 more miles while only breaking to walk 1-2/10 mile after each of the miles run. That brought me to the final 2 miles of which I ran 7/10 and walked 3/10 of both. All in all I had run over 11 � of the 13.1 miles! Not only did I complete the 13.1 miles, but I did it in 3.16:45. Well under my goal of 3 � hours!! Now I can confidently say, Goal met!!! I can go forward to my Half Marathon in 6 weeks with the confidence of knowing I can do it and the goal to better my time. I still can�t believe it! And what�s even more remarkable is I can still walk today! Do you suppose that means I�m actually a (gasp!) runner? For real????
If all goes as planned, in 6 weeks I�ll have a medal to confirm that, yes I am, indeed, a RUNNER! FOR REAL!!
I�ve noticed something strange, odd and different about my mindset lately. I�m beginning to think like a thin person. In fact I�m even visualizing myself as a thin person. For the first time since I started my Spark journey a few years ago, I�m feeling like I can and will succeed at this �� and SOON! Funny thing is I�ve only lost a touch over 25 pounds. I began my journey at 197 pounds, so I still have over 30 pounds to go to reach my goal of 138. I�m not even at my halfway point yet but it feels like it�s just around the corner. I�m looking at cute running clothes, bike tops and summer outfits and I�m picturing myself being able to wear them�.. NOW!
I did mention I still have over 30 pounds to lose, didn�t I?
At one point in my adult life I actually weighed 124, but that was before my 4th pregnancy at 33yo and my 5th at 35. The two pregnancies left me weighing 150, and I felt fat then! A few years later I suffered a serious injury that laid me up for nearly 6 months and had me on pain killers for 4 months. That put me over the top. I hit 181 but for some reason I still didn�t realize I was in trouble. It wasn�t until that 181 slowly made it�s way to 197 that I really started to see what I had become. Obese! I finally realized I HAD to do something and I had to do it fast.
In the first few months after joining Spark, I dropped 10 pounds. Then I coasted�. For over a year. Finally I realized I had to buckle down again. What had worked to begin with, wasn�t cutting it anymore. So last August, I got serious again and lost again. Then I coasted again. I was taking baby steps and I was dealing with a big girl problem � quite literally. So again I buckled down. I made a New Year�s resolution to lose and another resolution to keep the first one. Then I got busy. I�ve declared 2011 as my year of completion and I think I�m just beginning to realize that I believe it.
I�ve set goals. Lofty goals. After only logging about 6000 fitness minutes last year, I decided to set my goal at 18000 FM for 2011. That�s 1500 monthly and so far I�m ahead of schedule. I also took up running. That was huge for me because I have always hated running. Believe it or not, I also hated sweating. Not very conducive to success. Not only have I logged over 3400 FM so far, I�ve also logged almost 200 miles with my running plan. I started with the C25K program and could barely run the 60 second intervals to begin with. I pushed myself like my life depended on it. I am now averaging 20-24 miles weekly AND I�ve signed up for a half marathon in April!
Like I said, I�ve lost 25 pounds, 11 so far this year. Which makes me feel awesome but, thin? If you recall, I said I felt fat at 150 before. It makes no sense but I really am seeing myself as a thin person at 171.
All I can say is I think I�ve reached a turning point. It�s as if I�m saying, �I�ve come a long way and I look great NOW!� I LOVE hearing myself talk to ME like that! That�s SO new for me!
Are you up for a little MARCH MADNESS?
I challenge each of you to strive for a TEN POUND LOSS this month.
Are you close to or at goal? Then how about 1700FM for the month instead? 1700 in honor of the 17th of March, which we all know is OUR DAY!
So what do you say? Are you up for the challenge? Are you up for both?
I'm in it to win it and I'm going for 10 pounds AND 1700 minutes!
If you want to join the fun, post your goal as a comment and edit your comment weekly to let us know how you're doing.
We're going to ShamROCK the month of March!
My goals for February were as folllows:
1500FM monthly
100 miles on foot monthly - I hit 89.65 in January.
7 hours sleep nightly
64 oz water daily
stay within my calorie range 6 days a week
Post daily
Track daily
Lose weekly
Get out of the 170s
As life would have it, after I set those goals, a few things happened that would force me to change a few of them. I signed up for a Half Marathon. Yes, you read that right. I am planning on running the Lake George, NY Half Marathon in April. With that decision came the realization I would have to change my approach to my running. I did a little research and found a program I could load on my iPhone. The first thing I noticed about the program was how many less miles I would be running than I had worked up to. For instance, I was running 24-26 miles weekly by the end of January. My new training program would only have me running 7 miles in the first week. That's 1 mile less than I was running in a DAY! But, being new to this whole running thing, I decided I'd trust the program and give it a shot - for the remainder of the month.
My disappointment was my weight loss dropped to almost nothing. I went from losing 10.2 in 6 weeks to losing less than 1 in two weeks. My realization was I was no longer feeling the burn. I stuck it out and gave it my best shot. I even upped the mileage a bit without overdoing it to the point that it was my old program, rather than my new one. My conclusion is I'm going back to my old program. I ran my 8 miler yesterday and it felt AMAZING! I dropped 8 minutes from 2 weeks ago. I dropped 4 minutes from my 5K time alone! I can see many things about the training program that I will incorporate into my training but I need and crave the mileage I have worked up to. Rather than 3 days of 8 miles, I will vary my mileage over the three days. On my shorter runs, I'll do more intervals and speed work. And, if all goes well, by early April, I'll be able to dig my bike out again and add in cross training on my off days.
So to recap my goals:
1500FM monthly 1555
100 miles on foot monthly - I hit 89.65 in January. Considering the running plan I started mid month, I'm shocked I came this close. 89.70 in Feb
7 hours sleep nightly with the exception of a few nights
64 oz water daily but I need to remember to track it as well
Stay within my calorie range 6 days a week
Post daily
Track daily - Definitely need to work on this one
Lose weekly
Get out of the 170s - Didn't quite make it but I'll be there soon. 171.8
My goals for March are:
1500FM monthly
Run at least one 13.1 training run
7 hours sleep nightly
64oz water daily
Stay within calorie range 6 days a week.
Exercise 6 days a week.
Post daily
Track daily
Lose weekly
Reach 165
Incorporate healthier nutrition into my eating plan.
Keep my motivation and momentum high all month.
My goals are getting loftier as my body is getting healthier. This is my year of completion and I fully intend to cross my personal finish line. I'm only 33.2 pounds from goal and I can see the finish line.
I have been with the BLC since Round 10 and this is by far my best round ever! In six weeks I've dropped 10.2 pounds and sixteen inches!! Five of those inches came directly off my waist! WOOHOO!! In fact the only place I gained in inches was my calf muscle, which is 1/2" larger than it was six weeks ago. Considering it's all muscle, I'm fine with that.
That is not my only six week victory however. I've also gone from vegging on the couch and hibernating indoors to avoid the bitter cold NNY temps, to running three times a week for an average of 25 miles a week. In the past three weeks I've dropped 13 minutes off my 8 miler and I've wogged as far as 11 miles at one time. I've come to the conclusion that I am, in fact, a runner and I've decided that I will do a 1/2 marathon this summer. When I started in early January, I could barely run 3 minutes at a time and now I'm running 25 minute segments 4 consecutive times with 2-5 minute water/walk breaks.
Now on to the second half of BLC15. My goal? Originally it was only to lose another 7 but now I'm thinking I'll aim to double my current loss. As spring comes, I'll be able to do more and more outside exercise and that will help for sure. Stay tuned.....

Thank goodness for mastic gum. After a year of trouble with a stomach ulcer, after just 4 weeks on mastice what an improvement! I feel like I'm well on the way to being healed. Very little pain anymore. I take 4 tablets (2000 mg) on an empty stomach before bed.
Fantastic results for me

Delivery was fast and efficient. Mastic gum helped my gastrointestinal problem despite doctors saying they could find nothing wrong. Continuous pain in upper right quadrant; underneath rib, upper right back and lower right side (felt like something scraping inside my colon). After a week of taking Mastic Gum the reduction in symptoms was incredible. Slight nausea for the first few days but it subsided. Took 2 first thing in the morning and 2 before bed for one month. Reduced to 2 x am only with return of symptoms.
No doubt

There is no doubt that this stuff has helped my h.pylori symptoms. I have yet to have a test done to see if it is eradicated, but it's the first time in 5 years that I have been able to eat a normally.

I have been taking 2 caps on an empty stomach before breakfast for the past three days and already I feel better. My gastroenterologist prescribed Nexium, but I wanted to try this before taking a prescription medicine that might cause more unpleasant digestive side effects. For months I would wake up during the night with knawing, burning pains. After taking this for just three days I have been sleeping through the night.
Excellent product, cured long term, painful gastritis for me in a month. (not this brand initially, but I am using this brand since and it's as effective....exaclty the same stuff)

Excellent product, excellent effects on gastritis. Had gastritis for over a year, constant burning throbbing pain in my stomach. tried a bunch of drugs, nothing worked. Tried a months course of Mastika (different brand before) and it cured the gastritis pain by the end of the monthly course. This was a daily, strong, throbbing pain that occurred after eating. This was unlikely therefore a placebo effect; it stopped a severe pain that had been occurring daily for over a year. Now I take a maintenance dose every night. This stuff saved me from the awful scourge of gastritis. I will love it forever. If you have gastritis, TAKE IT! make sure your stomach is empty before you take it. Better effects that way. Good luck.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
So reach out and welcome one another to God's glory. Jesus did it; now you do it! Romans 15:7 (MSG)
"We set aside our judgments in order to 'see what eyes have not seen and ears cannot hear' so we can help those in need."
God wants you to accept others in the same way that Jesus accepted you.
In faith, we accepted God's acceptance of us – through Christ – when we were unacceptable, and so we love God by freely offering the same gift – His acceptance – to others.
To love God and to be to others what He is to us …
We must be willing to be for others -- God's life is a life for others. He always is and does what is best for others. He has a non-selective love for all others. To love God is to have -- in faith -- a non-selective readiness to be for others … all others … any specific other God sends your way.
We must see others as God sees them -- True love, God's love, is not blind. It sees what those living for themselves do not see. We set aside our judgments in order to "see what eyes have not seen and ears cannot hear" (I Cor. 2:9) so we can help those in need.
Study the Foundations of our faith. Foundations is a comprehensive tool for teaching the essential truths of Christian faith in a simple, systematic, and life-changing way. The 24 sessions, taught by Kay Warren and Tom Holladay, will take you on a thought provoking, life-changing exploration of 11 core doctrines: The Bible, God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, Creation, Salvation, Sanctification, Good and Evil, The Afterlife, The Church, and The Second Coming.
Read Costly Grace by Jon Walker. Rick Warren says Costly Grace "may be one of the most important books published during this time of economic uncertainty and world turmoil."
Do you ever feel tired, drained or "beat-up" and just don't know why? That's because every day you're fighting an unseen spiritual war. You can't see it, but its effects are very real. In his 7 session Study Kit "The Invisible War: Winning the Battle of Temptation," Pastor Rick will teach you how to overcome the three predictable types of temptations that Satan uses to entice and defeat you: Passion, Possession, and Position.
Why is everything in life so hard? Why does doing the right thing often feel like a battle? In this new series, Pastor Rick shares insights from God's Word about the unseen spiritual forces working against us; the invisible war between good and evil. This series will help you win the battle within.

Vaikom Mohammed Basheer's 'Mathilukal' is one of the few novels where the reader wishes till the end that the protagonist doesn't get out of prison. But as fate would have it, he is released on the day before he is to meet Narayani, an inmate of the women's cell whom he and the reader are familiar only through her voice.
So, if you want to read that fateful order which signalled his release from prison and broke the heart of the readers, head to Kanakakkunnu Palace, where a three-day exhibition organised by the State Archaeology Department and the Archives Department is on. The exhibition is being organised on the sidelines of a national seminar on 'Revisiting Dravidian Culture, with special reference to Archaeology of South India'.
An interesting historical document on view is a directive from the ruler of Travancore Sri Parvathi Bai Maharani in 1817, permitting the use of tiled roofs for houses and shops. The reason cited is the increasing incidence of fires due to the thatched roofs in many places.Against Nehru's arrest
Another document is about a landmark protest meet at Alumkadavu Maidanam in Ernakulam on June 24, 1946, in protest against Jawaharlal Nehru's arrest. "We are not afraid of bayonets or lathis and would go ahead to even demolish the police station," thundered C. Achutha Menon while addressing the meeting. A detailed account of this meeting is part of a letter sent by Rama Varma Thampuran, the then Chief Secretary to the Maharaja of Cochin.
Also on display are documents showing treaties between Travancore State and the Dutch company, another one about King Marthanda Varma dedicating the State of Travancore to Sri Padmanabha Swamy and an order to set up the first Government Hospital in Thiruvananthapuram. Another one shows an 'intelligence report' on a meeting addressed by Sree Narayana Guru.
A few of the documents are originals, but a majority of them are copies.
The exhibition also has a wide array of kitchen utensils, brass and wooden vessels, and statues from yesteryear on display. A collection of 'bullets' used in old cannons is another item of interest. A collection of photos shows the work that went behind recent excavations, most notably the Laterite Tunnel Excavation in Thalassery and the Urn Burial Excavation in Chennithala, both of which were carried out last year.

In our never-ending quest to see the perpetual hip hop hermit fully engaged in some musical activities we'd like to see X Factor producers move hell and high water to bring Andre 3000 in as a judge. Sure it's not an Outkast album, but it's a step in the right direction.

Weird Nature: Is "Ugly" Produce the Next Big Thing at the Farmers' Market?
Jon Fisher looks at unsprayed but "ugly" produce at the farmer's market and asks: Could blemished apples be the next big thing? And are there environmental benefits?
What Does the Science Really Say about Organics?
By Rebecca Benner, director of science, The Nature Conservancy in North Carolina
What does the science really say about organics?
There has been a fairly steady stream of debate about organic products (especially food), and whether they actually meet their marketed health and environmental claims. Dig deeper into the scientific research about organic foods and you'll find the jury is still out; in other words, it's not time to give up on organics yet.
Organic products are increasingly common. Most grocery stores carry at least a few kinds of organic foods, and there are a surprising number of organic clothing labels and other products appearing in the market all of which you can buy in places ranging from Target to Whole Foods.
Parallel with this growth comes the question of whether or not buying organic is "worth it." A Stanford University study published in 2012 generated much of this debate when the research showed that organic foods have very few health benefits over conventional foods.
The flurry of responses to the article indicates the grey area around the value of organic foods — a statement which brings up the crux of the issue — what is the "value" or the "worth" of organic foods.
Health benefits are only one of the potential benefits of organic foods. The other is environmental.
Wild Pollinators Are Critical in Keeping our Picnic Baskets Full
Bees may seem like uninvited guests at your picnic – but before you shoo them away from the fruit salad, think twice, as they play a critical role in making your picnic possible.
Some of the most healthful, picnic favorites – including blueberries, strawberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumber, avocados and almonds – would not make it to the table without the essential work by bees and other insects.
Most crops depend on pollinating insects to produce seeds or fruits. In fact, about three-quarters of global food crops require insect pollination to thrive; one-third of our calories and the majority of critical micronutrients, such as vitamins A, C and E, come from animal-pollinated food crops.

Before Twitter and YouTube could respond, millions of users saw video of journalist James Foley being beheaded. An equally large number of people were privy to naked photos of celebrities on sites such as 4chan and reddit, after a hacker illegally stole the photos from the cloud. These were eventually removed, but not before a surprising controversy rose up around these instances: Should social media sites be in the business of censoring content-and, by extension, users?

Published February 27, 2012
Scientists finally have the skinny on two extinct species of giant "svelte" penguins that lived in New Zealand 25 million years ago, a new study says.
(Related pictures: "Giant Prehistoric Penguins Found" [2007].)
For decades, study co-author Ewan Fordyce, a paleontologist at New Zealand's University of Otago, had been happening across bones of the species while searching for fossil whales and dolphins.
Only recently, though, has a team reconstructed a full skeleton. This composite—created using a model of a modern-day king penguin—represents both species, which were quite similar.
The result is "quite a streamlined animal—it wouldn't look like any penguin that's alive today," said study leader Dan Ksepka, an avian paleontologist at North Carolina State University.
Instead of a modern penguin's rotund shape, each of the newly named species had a narrow chest; long, tapering flippers; and a narrow beak—a body specialized for hunting fish.
Standing about 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) tall, both species would have been taller than the tallest living penguin species, the emperor penguin, which can reach 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall.
(Related: "Mutant All-Black Penguin Found.")
Prehistoric New Zealand
In the penguins' time, New Zealand itself was mostly underwater—only a smattering of islets were above the surface. Shallow waves rich with food and protection from predators would've made the habitat ideal for the birds.
Picturing the scene 25 million years ago, Ksepka sees an assortment of various penguins crowded onto remote, rocky outcrops—much like the areas inhabited by modern penguins in New Zealand, though the researcher imagines active volcanoes possibly turning prehistoric skies cloudy with ash.
In a hat tip to that ancient homeland, the team has named the species Kairuku waitaki and Kairuku grebneffi—"kairuku" roughly meaning "diver who returns with food" in the language of New Zealand's indigenous Maori people.
(Also see "Pictures: Five-Foot Fossil Penguin Revealed.")
Giant Penguins Not Alone
"We've been gaining new insights into giant penguins from other parts of the world," said University of Texas vertebrate paleontologist Julia Clarke, who wasn't involved in the new study.
Clarke herself led a 2010 study describing a new species of ancient giant penguin, the water king, the first fossil penguin discovered with feathers.
But "in New Zealand, where they have one of the peak areas for [giant penguin] diversity, they haven't been really fully described"—making the new reconstruction an important advance, said Clarke, whose work has been supported by the National Geographic Society's Expeditions Council. (The Society owns National Geographic News.)
Both of the new species lived alongside four other penguin species, each of which likely ate different fish prey—a level of local diversity rare today, study leader Ksepka noted.
"The fact they're five species all standing on the same beaches—it's pretty incredible," he said.
The giant penguin species study will be published in the March issue of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

Bringing back echoes of the failed "SBInet" project, the Homeland Security Department appears to be plunging ahead on a Southwestern border security technology project once again without sufficient planning in advance, according to a new federal audit.
Customs and Border Protection "does not have the information needed to fully support and implement its Arizona Border Surveillance Technology Plan in accordance with DHS and Office of Management and Budget guidance," the Government Accountability Office concluded in its report, issued Nov. 4.
Related stories:
Napolitano cancels SBInet, orders new border security strategy
New border strategy to incorporate SBInet-like capabilities
The setback is the latest in a series of controversies over border technology. In the most recent previous effort, begun in 2006, DHS spent about $1 billion to develop and install the Secure Border Initiative Network (SBInet) camera and radar system along 53 miles of the Arizona border. Secretary Janet Napolitano canceled the controversial program in January 2011 because she said it failed to meet security objectives.
Customs and Border Protection then began developing the Arizona Border Surveillance Technology Plan based on a mix of fixed towers, mobile surveillance equipment, hand-held devices and unmanned aerial vehicles. Under the strategy, the most cost-effective mix of those tools would be selected, based on the needs of each geographic area along the border.
With $185 million allocated to the new plan in fiscal 2011 and $242 million requested for fiscal 2012, the agency expects to spend about $1.5 billion on the new strategy over 10 years, the GAO said.
However, the GAO report calls into question whether the department's new strategy is valid and whether the business case for the technologies is sufficient to justify its costs.
In developing the plan, the agency conducted an analysis of alternatives and reached out to potential vendors for information.
"However, CBP has not documented the analysis justifying the specific types, quantities, and deployment locations of border surveillance technologies proposed in the plan. Best practices for developing and managing costs indicate that a business case analysis should be rigorous enough that independent parties can review it and clearly understand why a particular alternative was chosen to support mission requirements. Without documentation of the analysis, there is no way to verify the process CBP followed, identify how the underlying analyses were used, assess the validity of the decisions made, or justify the funding requested for the Plan," the GAO said.
The congressional watchdog made four recommendations to CBP to improve the planning for the new technologies, including meeting documentation and internal control standards and applying metrics for performance. DHS officials agreed with the recommendations.

Drawing - Charcoal
This Valkyrie Angel was designed for tshirts that was sent to Afghanistan for our troops. A Seargent friend of mine came to me & asked if I could design a Valkyrie Angel & have the words "Choosers of the Slain" written on it. He said his unit was down & needed a way to raise their spirits a bit. The front of the shirts had each soldiers name & call sign on it. They were going to pay, but me & my wonderful friends said NO WAY!!! Everyone pitched in & help me with printing & shipping costs. I love the people in my life. They have huge hearts as do I..... They loved the shirts & I did my job to boost the morale of at least 1 Army Unit!

The Cinevate Inc 26" Atlas FLT DSLR Slider & Manfrotto 502HD Head/Base 3/8"-16 Kit from B&H adds a well-made flat head onto a sophisticated, multi-purpose mini dolly system.
The Atlas FLT is a 26" mini-dolly designed with a ball bearing system that very smoothly slides a DSLR rig of up to 25 lb in any possible direction -- sideways, forward, backward, up, down, panoramically, and at angles. It can very effectively also be used as a crane when attached to a tripod, and can optionally be transformed into a counter-balanced vertical pulley system.
Like the FLT, the Manfrotto 502HD Head is also designed for smooth operation and is as well a well-thought-out and well-constructed device. It features Manfrotto's patented bridging technology that ensures pan friction control is intuitive and protected from knocks. Among other features are independent locks for pan and for tilt, as well as continuously adjustable drag for each.
The Cinevate and Manfrotto are conveniently packaged as excellent matches in quality and function.
