Fifty years ago, the earth's human population was half of today's six billion. Large tracts of roadless tropical and temperate forests and savannas still survived, as did unspoiled coastlines and estuaries, unexploited fisheries and healthy populations of gorillas, rhinos, lemurs, sea turtles and frogs. Now, the explosion of our numbers, commercial globalization and the invention of new technologies for land clearing, agriculture and fishing have changed all this, with dire consequences for nature and wildlife.
In the more productive and biologically rich parts of the planet, development has cleaved nature into isolated remnants – forest reserves, national parks or remaining but vulnerable wildlands. But most of these fragments are degraded, overhunted and laced with roads that accelerate further exploitation and destruction. The rarest animals are among the first to disappear in these island-like fragments. Some of these species, such as jaguars or wolves, are critical ecological actors, or what are called keystone species. Where keystone carnivores disappear, entire ecosystems can collapse. Those species that survive this collapse may not persist for long if their populations are small. Small populations are vulnerable to random events like hurricanes, droughts and inbreeding. Over time, more and more species disappear, until there is little left but a lonely silence.
Fortunately, conservation biologists know how to arrest and even reverse this kind of ecological disintegration. First, restore the severed connections between the isolated bits of nature at both local and continental scales; second, repatriate the keystone species; third, enlarge and rehabilitate the most pristine areas so that they contain all of the original habitats, including free-flowing rivers, unpolluted lakes and the full range of species interactions. All this is what we call "rewilding." Fourth, control the most damaging exotic species. Simple, but not easy. Is such a bold, ambitious project realistic at a continental scale?
In 1991, a group of activists and scientists founded the Wildlands Project. The goal was to link up wildlands from Mexico to the Yukon, from Florida to Newfoundland, from Baja California to the Brooks Range and the Bering Sea. Connections to the North Woods, the Great Plains and great northern boreal forest would also be re-created.
People called the vision "delusional," a hallucination of romantics. Ten years later, however, the basic concepts are mainstream. The idea of rewilding continents, by restoring the keystone species and healing other wounds to our lands and waters, has been widely adopted by the conservation community because it is the only realistic prescription for preserving entire faunas and floras. Internationally, partners such as The Wilderness Society (of Australia) are adapting the vision to other continents.
The volume Continental Conservation: Scientific Foundations of Regional Reserve Networks (1999, Island Press) sped the adoption of the rewilding vision by summarizing the critical role of keystone species and arguing for the restoration of landscape linkages that had been severed by poor land-use practices.
Next, Wildlands Project cofounder Dave Foreman, along with others, completed the "Sky Islands Wildlands Network Conservation Plan," a rigorous and inspiring blueprint based on rewilding principles; it shows how to protect the island mountain ranges of the Southwest. Over the coming decades, as the new wilderness areas identified in the plan are designated, and as wildlife movement linkages are secured, the region's extraordinary wildness will recover. Wolves, jaguars, Apache trout, the Chiricahua leopard frog and many other species will once again thrive in the borderlands.
In northern Sonora, the Wildlands Project, in partnership with Mexican scientists and organizations (Pronatura, Naturalia, Ejido Cebadillas) is protecting thick-billed parrot habitat. Nearby, on the Janos Prairie in Chihuahua, we assisted in the return of the endangered black-footed ferret to the largest prairie dog complex remaining in North America.
The Sky Islands region, however, is just one piece of a continental jigsaw puzzle. The Wildlands Project and its partners plan to help create extensive networks of wildlands – megalinkages – across the continent: northern New England and southeastern Canada, the southern Rockies, Yellowstone to Yukon, the Sierra Madre of Sonora and Chihuahua, the Sierra Nevada, the southern Appalachians and elsewhere. In each of these regions, teams of local conservationists, biologists, naturalists, modelers, mappers and other experts are working to draft a blueprint for landscape health. The price tag for planning each region – each piece of the continental puzzle – is $200,000. To map and plan the continent will require about $6 million.
By 2008, if we have the resources, we can complete the alternative land-use plan for all of North America. This blueprint, including the steps for on-the-ground land restoration, would be the first of its kind for an entire continent. Do such plans energize activists and agencies? Our experience in the Southwest leaves no doubt: These compelling plans inspire activists, planners and professionals alike.
People love the wild, and they explore wild places to find solace and solitude, to rediscover their own connections to the wholeness of creation. The Wildlands Project endorses wilderness recreation and other sensitive uses of wildlands, including responsible hunting and fishing, backpacking, skiing, camping, river kayaking and rafting and mountain climbing. We know that those who experience the wild become its natural defenders.
But time is running out. Most of the ancient, diverse and beautiful ecosystems of the earth are being converted to plantations, intensive agriculture, degraded pastures, golf courses, theme parks, roads, reservoirs, suburbia and landfills. Whole ecosystems are quickly liquidated, their wild plants and animals converted into paper, cardboard, protein meal and home furnishings. The lands are torn apart for their natural gas, coal, oil, minerals and water. The 21st century is a watershed moment for Earth, the end game for creation: Now is the time for networks of people to protect networks of land, to become a powerful constituency for the redemption of nature.

Heather Shipley
UTSA Spotlight: Assistant Professor Heather Shipley is all about solving the world's water problems
By Cindy Brockwell
Special Projects Writer
(Oct. 17, 2008)--Heather Shipley shares with her students an observation made by President John F. Kennedy -- whoever solves the problem of the world's future water needs deserves two Nobel prizes, one for science and one for world peace.
UTSA's Heather Shipley is on it. Now in her second year as an assistant professor in the College of Engineering's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, simply stated, Shipley's research is all about finding ways to treat water for re-use.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"For San Antonio, the application might be the removal of military base contaminants that were deposited here long before the military understood the effects to the environment," she explained.
"And for underdeveloped countries, the best case scenario would be that the research leads to a clean supply of drinking water. Essentially, my research involves finding ways to remove the metals, arsenic and other inorganic contaminants from our natural water systems such as lakes, aquifers and rivers."
Shipley speaks clearly about water to a non-scientist. She is equally at ease presenting her research to audiences in Nicaragua and Scotland. In 2006, she presented her award-winning student paper, "Effect of Hydrate Inhibitors on Calcite, Sulfates, and Halite Scale Formation," to the Society of Petroleum Engineers in Aberdeen.
Although born in Missouri, she's been in Texas since entering Baylor University, where she earned her B.S. in chemistry. "I'm like the bumper sticker -- I wasn't born in Texas but I got here as fast as I could," she said. She earned her M.S. and Ph.D. in environmental engineering at Rice University, completing her doctorate in 2007.
And, she received a National Science Foundation grant during her first year here at UTSA.
Both of Shipley's parents and her siblings are scientists. She wasn't intent on following in their footsteps. In high school she thought she wanted to major in business until she lucked into a really great organic chemistry teacher. "We made aspirin. We saw how chemicals worked together. We did really interesting experiments, and I was hooked," she said.
"I was always looking for a challenge. I stayed with chemistry in grad school because I was interested in the environment and wanted to make a contribution. Clean water presented the challenge," she said.
Shipley could have gone into industry, but chose academia instead. "I like teaching, and I enjoy mentoring students, so my path was clear," she said.
"My students are as passionate about our work as I am. We have to have water to live," she noted. "As bad as the energy crisis is, a true water crisis could be worse. There are alternative energy sources, but there is no substitute for water. We have to have water to live."
Oh, and by the way, Shipley doesn't spend money on bottled water. "It's essentially tap water, so why go to the expense?"

Federal grant to help laid-off Nonpareil workers
BLACKFOOT, Idaho - The U.S. Department of Labor has announced an emergency grant to provide re-employment service to about 50 former workers at a potato processing facility in Blackfoot.
When Nonpareil Farms sold its operation to Basic American Foods in February, it put 93 workers out of a job. After another round of layoffs at the plant in May, the total number of affected workers rose to 130.
The Idaho Department of Labor will use the $366,087 grant to provide dislocated workers with career guidance, job search support, on-the-job and skill training, as well as English as a Second Language classes.
The National Emergency Grant is part of the Secretary of Labor's discretionary fund and is awarded based on a state's ability to meet specific guidelines.

I have a small hive of one deep full of brood up to 8-9 frames full. Last week, I just started up a medium on top. I am using the 4" opening.
There is quite an excessive attack going on right now. Should I get suited up and go change the entrance reducer to the 1-2 bee opening size?
Also, every now and then I have seen bees try to enter my screened bottom board area from the rear of the hive. When I pull out the plastic drawer, there are a few dead bees on it. Do you think there is an area of the screened bottom that has too big an opening? Could it be defective? I have yet to look...

Rep. Ward attends Permanent School Trust Fund Commission meeting
On Aug. 21, State Representative John Ward (DFL–Baxter) participated in a meeting of the Legislative Permanent School Trust Land Commission. The commission examined school trust land revenues and investment returns, and received an update on the management of the land.
"We had a productive meeting, and our school trust lands continue to generate additional income for our schools and are being well managed," said Rep. Ward. "The Permanent School Trust Land Commission will continue to provide adequate oversight of the DNR's land management policy going forward."
When Minnesota became a state in 1858, the federal government granted sections 16 and 36 of every township, or their equivalent, to the state for the use of schools. The Minnesota Constitution established the Permanent School Fund (PSF) to ensure a long-term source of funds for public education in the state. The PSF consists of the accumulated revenues generated from the land. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is responsible for managing the school trust land, which currently totals about 2.5 million acres, plus an additional 1 million acres of severed mineral rights.
The Minnesota Legislature established the Permanent School Fund Advisory Committee (PSFAC) to review DNR land management policies, advise DNR on the management of trust land, and recommend necessary changes in statute, policy, and implementation in order to insure provident utilization of the permanent school fund lands.
"These lands belong to the school children of Minnesota," said Rep. Ward. "We have every obligation to manage these lands properly and ensure that our children and their schools receive as much money from them as possible. I will continue to work and support efforts to do just that."
In addition to Rep. Ward, Reps. Tim O'Driscoll, John Benson, Mary Sawatzky, Deb Kiel, and Denny McNamara, along with Sens. Carrie Ruud, John Hoffman, Eric Pratt, Tom Saxhaug, Bill Weber, and Chuck Wiger all serve on the commission.

Premier Guitar Magazine: The New TelAir is an Editor's Pick at Summer NAMM
Well, the NAMM show is over in Nashville, but the buzz is still all over the streets: the new Voyage-Air TelAir electric guitar is a hit! With its unique portable design as well as easy playability and incredible sound, the new TelAir guitar was played by hundreds of guitar-slingers: amateurs to pros. At the show, the TelAir got prompts for both its resonance, as well as the great tone from the custom Tonerider single-coil Alnico V pickups placed in the standard 'Tele Guitar' configuration.
So no surprise that Joe Coffey, Editorial Director of Premier Guitar magazine, chose the Voyage-Air TelAir guitar as among the few Editor Picks products that his magazine highlighted from the entire show.
Realize: the NAMM show is a big deal, with thousands of new products promoted and displayed. To be selected with an Editors Pick award from Premier Guitar magazine is ... well, HUGE. Whoa! Thank you, Premiere Guitar!

GREENVILLE, S.C. – The US Youth Soccer Region III (South) Championships presented by National Guard came to an inspiring conclusion Thursday with 10 teams lifting regional championship trophies and claiming a place at the 2012 US Youth Soccer National Championships in Rock Hill, S.C.
The U-18 Boys final marked a rematch of the 2011 championship game as Florida Rush Nike (FL) faced TSCH 94 Earle (OK). For the first 45 minutes, both teams enjoyed periods of possession and quality chances without scoring a goal. In the 62nd minute, Florida's Jean Rivaroli finished a cross off a half volley. Solid defending and goalkeeping kept a shutout for Rush and the team repeated as regional champs!
They now advance to the National Championship in Rock Hill, South Carolina July 24-29. Last year, the Florida boys went 1-2-0 at nationals finishing in 5th of 6.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Boasting a new 20.3Mp sensor under the hood, the new PEN-F is Olympus's highest-resolution hybrid to date.
With a traditional looking design, the latest addition to Panasonic's Lumix CSC range the GM1 is, arguably, the firm's slickest camera yet. It has the same 16-Mpix-resolution sensor as the larger, rangefinder-style GX7, and although housed in a tiny aluminum shell it features a 3-inch touchscreen LCD, plenty of manual control and an electronic shutter capable of 1/16000th max shutter speed and 40fps burst. Read on to find out how this super-compact model performs.
Following on from the enormous success of the OMD- E-M5, the firm has now upgraded its flagship PEN E-P model with a '5-axis' stabilized 16-MPix MOS sensor. Read on to find out how well it performs in our labs.
Samsung is one of the few makers with the capability to supply sensors for its own mirrorless cameras. The Wi-FI enabled finder-less NX300 and NX210 are just two of such cameras from the consumer electronics giant featuring an APS-C size 20.3Mpix CMOS image sensor. Read on to find out just how well these cameras performed in our lab.
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G6 is the update to last year's DMC-G5 MFT camera, the firm's $750 mid-range EVF equipped model sitting above the entry-level finder-less DMC-GF6 yet beneath the mighty video-maker's favorite DMC-GH3. The new camera features a 16-Mpix Live MOS sensor as well as a new Venus processing engine, but just how well does it perform in our labs?
Panasonic's entry-level DMC GF6 sees a return to a more conventional control layout and adds several useful features including a touch-sensitive, tilting monitor and easy wireless connectivity with smart-phones via WiFi with NFC capability. The new camera also features a 16-Mpix sensor, but just how well does it perform in our labs?
Launched in January 2013 the Nikon 1 S1 is a new product line in the Nikon 1 Hybrid Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens series. Targeted at advanced through to expert enthusiasts after a lightweight camera for photography daytrips and holidays the Nikon 1 S1 features a clean minimalistic design. Utilizing a smaller sensor and lower resolution than most of the Hybrid competition though how will it fare in the DxOMark Sensor Scores?
Released just a month after being announced at CES 2013 alongside a new lower-end sibling (the Nikon 1 S1), the new Nikon 1 J3 now takes its place as the midrange model in Nikon's lineup of interchangeable lens compact cameras, with a list price of $599.95 (with a 10-30mm kit lens). The J3 is an update to the Nikon 1 J2, which came out only five months prior to the announcement of the J3 and S1 and had been the camera maker's lower-end offering.
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den Hamer
DxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality.

[quote]The comfortable lead that this Olympus micro 4:3 sensor enjoys in our test results with respect to the Nikon's first-generation 1" sensor is very likely to be upset by [b]the new Nikon 20Mpix sensor used in its recently-announced V2 model[/b]".[/quote]
[url=http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Database/Nikon/1-V2]Nikon V2 has 14Mpix sensor[/url].
Where did you find information about 20Mpix?
Added by AaronMC | November 16 , 2012
I'm very happy with this. Yet again, we see a slight increase in ISO performance when the AA filter is removed. I would really appreciate some input from the DxO crew as to why this is the case.

Re: Yay!
Isn't it obvious? You remove a piece of glass, you get more transmission and so you can now get, say, ISO 89 performance at ISO 100. Re-calibrate the sensor to be in line with the ISO standard, and voila, you get less noise.

text: This bike is based on the look of a certain type of early hot rod... the kind that would be driven on the street, driven to the drags or the dry lakes, races, and driven home. Big n' littles, aggressive stance, stripped down, and lots of speed holes. The rough character is balanced out a bit by the lady's frame, cute little fender, and polka dot ribbon. I tried to keep things tight, subtle, and simple. The bike is named after a movie of the same name. This bike has been quite the adventure. I started with no ideas really, and this bike was the only suitable project I had, so I worked with that.

(November 17, 2003)
The Bush administration and international financial bodies insisted that
the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA) was the region's best economic integration choice, as well as thesolution to the development crisis in Latin American and Caribbean countries. The model they promoted as panacea is the one of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), adducing the supposed benefits NAFTA has brought for Mexico.
Authors Alejandro Nadal, Francisco Aguayo & Marcos Chávez sustain that such "benefits" are nothing else but myths.

Lu Bagnu is the sea-suburb of Castelsardo. It shows itself onto Asinara Gulf. Crystal clear water along its golden sandy beach, taking delicate shade of emerald. Experience the real taste of Sardinia and discover the local hospitality in its beaches, its culture and its kitchen. On the road to Castelsardo, we meet the picturesque port of Frigiano: the ideal landing place for relaxing body and soul. The picturesque medieval town of Castelsardo is located sheer on the sea. Within the walls live the ancient village, rich in art and atmosphere. It is a labyrinth of alleys where old women, seated in front of the house door, interlace palm leaves dwarf, in order to manufacture baskets. Interesting is the Museum of Interlace is inside of the castle. The ancient Cathedral dated 1400, you can visit it and the inside museum and the exhibition on witchcraft too. Excellent restaurants, bars, shops, open until late, giving way in the narrow streets. During all the year there are numerous events like theatre shows, extensions, concerts.

Reviews of this property
Very nice house, everything is there even a washing machine and an electric oven.
Good parking for the cottage also a trailer. Beach 10 min walk is doable .Diverse stores in Lu Bagnu to Castelsardo'd better drive there are larger supermarkets and is only 5 minutes away by car.
We were very satisfied, before you get an email from Marta with tips and tricks for a great stay. Neighbor Guisy manages the absence of Marta the key of the house. She is very helpful !!
Erg leuk huisje , alles is aanwezig zelfs een wasmachine en een elektrische oven .
Goed parkeren voor het huisje ook met een aanhanger. Strand 10 min lopen is goed te doen .Diverse winkels in Lu Bagnu , maar beter even naar Castelsardo rijden daar zijn grotere supermarkten en is maar 5 min rijden met de auto.
Wij waren erg tevreden , je krijgt vooraf een mail van Marta met daarin tips en trucs voor een geweldig verblijf . Buurvrouw Guisy beheert bij afwezigheid van Marta de sleutel van de woning. Zij is heel hulpvaardig !!
Marta is the perfect host. We explained how to go to the apartment, where to buy, what to do, what to visit, where to eat etc.. It was perfect. We got a friend of hers because it was not this time, very friendly and available too. The apartment is as described, clean and well what it takes to be there. The neighborhood is pretty quiet. Thank you and Giusy Marta!
Marta es la anfitrión perfect. Nos explicó como ir hasta el apartamento, donde comprar, que hacer, que visitar, donde comer, etc. Fue perfecta.
Nos recibió una amiga suya porque no estaba estas fechas; muy amable y disponible también.
El piso está como se describe, además de limpio y con lo necesario para estar ahí. El vecindario es bastante tranquilo.
Muchísimas gracias Marta y Giusy!!!
We spent three nights in Marta's apartment and very much enjoyed our stay. The flat was spotles and even has a washing machine and wifi, which both came in very handy.
Marta gave us some great advice when we planned our journey such as where you can go best grocery shopping and where are the best restaurants and beaches. She was a great host!
We spent a pleasant
Abbiamo trascorso una piacevole
Me and my girlfriend had a great time in this appartment, where we stayed for one week. Marta was a wonderful host, very kind, with many good suggestions of things to do, places to eat, towns to visit and so on. The appartment has everything you need, is very clean and well-maintained. We can really recommend this appt + host to ayone.
The only thing to keep in mind is not to let food (especially fruit) lay around in the appartment or outside, because it will attract ants. All things considered; a great place to stay and get some rest!
Unser Aufenthalt in Lu Bagnu war einfach nur toll! Die Wohnung liegt in einem ruhigen Wohngebiet im Erdgeschoss und bietet wirklich alles was man braucht. Ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge im ganzen Norden! Es ist alles in gutem und neuwertigen Zustand und sehr sauber. Auf der gemütlichen Terasse haben wir so manchen schönen Abend verbracht. Das Auto kann man entspannt und sicher im Hof direkt vor der Tür parken. Marta und Guisy sind beider sehr nett und hilfsbereit und geben tolle Tipps für eine schöne Zeit auf Sardinien. Wir fühlten uns wie zu Gast bei Freunden! Danke nochmals an euch! Vielleicht sehen uns ja schon bald wieder!
Reviews for this host's other properties
well equipped, although without a heater and located in the shade. In April a heater would be nice to drive out the chill. Especially since the apartment retains a lot of moisture from showering and cooking. However, for stays during the hot months of the year the coolness should be very welcome.
First of all thanks to marta for her kind help and useful information about everything. The apartment was nice, simple but very comfortable. Location was good either for the beach and for visiting around. I just missed little things such bins in the kitchen or the bathroom. Apart from that I would recommend the place.
Warm, friendly and well located apartment. Mezzanine ceiling too low and delicate sorting bins. In addition, a small dishwasher would be welcome! In conclusion, enjoyable holiday advisor ...
Accueil chaleureux, appartement bien situé et agréable.
Plafond mezzanine trop bas et tri poubelles délicat.
De plus, un petit lave-vaisselle serait le bienvenu !
En conclusion, vacances agréables à conseiller...
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Where I stayed
Huanum Hotel (150B)
So, first day (as always) i just settled in. Had a look around the Indochinese markets, my hotel is less than 1minute walk from the promenade walkway along the Mekong river so had a nice walk along there and just got my bearings and had a wonder around. Then i hired a bike over the next 4 days and spent the whole day, each day going to different places of interest (i think i racked up about 25hrs ride time over these 4days)
First day i went to Ho Kaew Mukdahan (Mukdahan tower) which is only 2km (just over 1 mile) from the town centre and is a 65metre high tower block that was built in 1996 and has exhibitions and museums on Mukdahan's history on it's 2 lower floors, while the top floor is an observation room allowing panoramic views over the whole area (the Thai town of Mukdahan, the Laos town of Sawannakhet, the Mekong river as well as the surrounding landscape and even the 2nd Thai - Laos Friendship Bridge, which i later passed and got a good close up shot (there are 3 bridges, the 1st was in Nong Khai, the 2nd here in Mukdahan and the 3rd in Nakhon Phanom which is north of here)) After visiting the tower i went to a place called Phu Manorom. This is a huge hill that is home to a Wat/Temple, a 1 metre deep replica Buddha foot print, landscape gardens and the same views (but even higher up) as those seen at the tower
The second day trip i went to Mukduhan National park (Phu Pha Thoep) which is split into 8 areas of interest over huge and open barren terrain that consisted of forests, hills, caves, rocky plateaux and unusual rock formations. The 8 attractions were 1 Phu Pha Thoep (a large plain of unusual shaped rock formations) 2 Wang Duan Ha waterfall (a very small but lovely little waterfall set in a picturesque area) 3 Lan Mudchillin (i have no idea of the details due to everything been in thai, i only know it had something to do with rare or endangered flora) 4 Pha oot (i think "pha" means hill or high place as all the attractions with "pha" in them were view points) 5 Pha Ngoy (another view point) 6 Phu Thumpra waterfall (a medium sized but really nice waterfall) 7 Pha Manow (another view point but set within the forest beside a cliff walk) and finally 8 Tham lord and Pha Sai (which, as you should know by now, tham = cave, so Tham lord was a small cave you had to go through by entering at it's base and exiting at it's top to Pha Sai which was another view point) Some of the locations were easy to find but others were near impossible and it was a real hard slog walking through this terrain in the blistering heat, back tracking and even getting lost..
The third day trip was more relaxed. I went to Wat Matchimawat AKA Wat Klang which is nothing special in itself, but is home to the Mahorathuek Drum which is a single sided bronze drum found in 1938 on the banks of the Mekong river at Ban Na Tham, Laos. The drum has a sun design in it's centre with frogs around the outrer rim. The drum is believed to be more than 3000 years old and anything that's survived time for that long is worthy of a look and some attention in my book. After that i went on a wild goose chase for some waterfall that i never found, but still had a nice ride and saw some amazing scenery non the less.
The 4th and final day trip was a big one. I began by heading south to the district of Nikom Kham Soi where i visited Key Lake which is a huge lake and reservoir and also Wat buddho Dharma Dharo (phu dan tae) which was built in 1941 and is home to a huge golden buddha with a halo. Afterwards i headed west to the district of Nong Sung where i saw Tad Ton Waterfall. I then headed north to the district of Kham Cha-I where i visited 2 stupa like structures that i have no names to but were unique looking and worth a look in my opinion. After these i headed east and came full circle back to Mukdahan.
Today i gave the bike back and am just relaxing, catching up with laundry and this blog while planning my onward travel to Ubon Ratchathani, which is where i go tomorrow. I'll probably have a last walk along the promenade later and watch the sunset a final time over the Mekong river. I had a great time here and would put Mukdahan (along with Nong Khai and Loei) as one of my top locations i've visited in Isaan.

Hi guys! Did you miss me?
I am back - traveling and moving are finally done and I've resurfaced in Florida. I still have a lot of unpacking and organizing to do, but I am anxious to get back to sewing.
I'm way behind on my blocks, but I do have this week's block finished (because I did it before I left) - but the pic is on my other computer that is not connected to the internet yet! Once I get all that figured out, I will post.
Irene - I love how the center of your block looks like a little sun! What a happy block! Deecee - beautiful work, as always.
I think this is the right block for this week - I really need to get organized!
Hey there Lara - we did miss you. :D Correct block too. :thumbup: Good job.
Glad to hear you are back and getting settled.
The drop in our numbers (even if it was only by one) made a significant dint in the pics being posted.
Jupiter - you had better get a move on with this week's block now. :shock:
Hi Lara,
Glad you're finally in Florida and back with us. We missed you. Your block is lovely, just like your others. Now dig out your sewing machine and continue keeping us company making blocks :)
P.S. Irene - your farmhouse block makes a cute avatar.
Thanks, Deecee. It came out crooked and I just fell in love with it, so much so that I changed my avitar ;)Quote:

hugs, Jup
Kaleidoscope Star
I like your "fancy" stitches Jupiter.
They make your star twinkle.
OK... I played computer games for a few minutes... now it is tomorrow.
I get to upload the FIRST BLOCK of the WEEK !!!!

Obama is all ego
To those living in Crow Wing and Cass County. If any of you complain about your federal taxes, I have a question for you: Who did you vote for?
The president told us his plans for the American people very plain; that we will all pay more in taxes with no reduction in our national debt, not only for today's taxpayer, but for generations to come.
I for the life of me cannot see any future for our country with a president who never held a real job outside of being a paid community organizer in Chicago. Who paid him?
What the president does well is public relations and campaigning for his agenda. Don't be surprised if he attempts to change the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution so he can run for a third term.
This man, President Obama, is all ego. He thinks it's his way or no way.
We are in danger of losing everything our service men and women, our justice system, our citizens have worked and died for.
Say no to President Obama by letting our Congress and state leaders know that we want our country back from liberal leadership.
Marian E. Chell,
Pine River

I am leaving on an extended camping trip with my sons soon and wanted to jam in one more unplanned graft on Friday. I understand the concept of the steps to building your queenless cell builder starting 10 days before your graft. Sadly, I did not expect to do this before leaving and didn't plan ahead but I have the resources building fast in other hives to build mating nucs and want to try it.
Am I setting myself up for failure?
I did put a frame of dark drawn comb in my breeder queen colony this morning to graft from on Friday afternoon. If tomorrow morning I separate my queenright portion below with an excluder and mostly larva frames are above the excluder can I pull this off? Morning of the graft I will make the queenless section on it's own bottom board with pollen frame and those nearly capped brood as well as many shakes of frames of nurse bees. In the afternoon I check for emergency cells, do the graft and stick it into this overflowing hive and put a gallon of feed on it.
I am missing something. Enlighten me.
What say you? Can you jam this in just a few days?

Hey so I was just looking at the grand prix scores so far this season. Rachael's score from SA (with the fall in the short) is higher than Mao's 2nd place finish at TEB and both of Miki Ando's wins. It is also significantly higher (roughly 10-20 points) then what Ashley, Caroline, Mirai, and Alissa are earning. Akiko's winning score was higher than her's, but by like 2 points. If she even makes it to the Olympics (which she very easily might not, especially if Wagner gets to go because she in in the GPF) do you think she could ever medal? I mean, if Miki and Mao keep skating like they do and Joannie doesn't go for the 3-3 and she only has one other American and Japanese skater to compete against...it seems plausible. Besides Yu Na, the ladies olympic podium could really be anyone's game
The fact that YuNa was less than perfect today does not negate the fact that she is a wonderful skater, both technically proficient and artistically exquisite. Is she the greatest skater ever? That's not even a realistic question. What comparisons could we make to judge? But while I'm not solely a YuNa fan (I also love Mao, and Alissa, and quite a few others) I think she'll be one for the ages. And I deeply hope she never delivers a skate like that again, even in practice! She must be totally traumatized this evening, as well as poor Orser...not to mention the viewers, and the entire country of South Korea.
Maybe fans like me are more traumatized than her. I watched several times her FS and especially her reaction after it and she was looking very fine and Brian too. Not happy, but not that sad. It looks like they took it with some humor, although of course it's not a very good experience, but they noticed very well that they will learn from it.She must be totally traumatized this evening, as well as poor Orser...not to mention the viewers, and the entire country of South Korea.
In the past she had falls and errors and finished 3rd, and she handled them very well and without being unhappy. This time is the same, but she is 1st now.
I think there's no way her LP was overscored. Her PCS was falled and GOE of many elements was also lowered.
I'm actually relieved that she made some unusual mistakes in a GP series.
It's impossible one skater is always doing almost perfect and great games.
If she's going to carry all the burden like "being perfect, keeping 200 point" until Olympics, I'd rather seriously care about the pressure what she cope with.

That's a lot of casualties, Olympia!
I was feeling a bit blue, but I think we'll be OK, and hope it's especially true for the one who skated.
Some people really descended upon her like vultures, though. Not even I do that, to anyone, and I'm mean.

The Yuna Kim fans should take into account that it's better something like this happen now than at the Games.
1) The arrogant uber-fans who needed to be humbled should be humbled.
2) The haters will always be haters, nothing anybody could do about them.
3) I guess everyone could be glad that this wasn't the Oly's. Although, her SP really was great here at SA.
This is sure, it's so obvious, that I take it as given already.The Yuna Kim fans should take into account that it's better something like this happen now than at the Games.
But I was always prepared for this and any experience can be for good.
I must say, though, that if she was really feeling the pressure today then I can't imagine how she'll feel in Vancouver where it will be 10x as much. Still, this is a new situation for her and one might imagine she'll react better the next time she faces it.
There's still the GPF. But as long as the nails the short program she's going to make it VERY difficult if not impossible to catch her up. Where the door really gets opened is if she makes a mistake in the SP- particularly on her first jumping pass.
still, that's beside the point- the underlying positive is how good Rachel did! If she can make it to the Olympics and throw it down like that, who knows what could happen??
That much is true, R.D. I guess my hope is that YuNa will be better-prepared to handle the pressure and her nerves, and that the media and fans will be more considerate of her and the other skaters.
Well, the next stop for YuNa is GPF. If she does well there, I will be less nervous for the Oly's. If she continues to falter, hmm.......
Today something strange happened in terms of psychological pressure. Why of all places she was nervous in America? I can understand when it was at GPF last season in Korea, but America... I think it was really that she was going only up in terms of scores and she was afraid of it as she didn't really expected it. I think that now it can become a cure for her like when it's happened, there is no need to fear it again.
By the Olympics everything can happen. Maybe be she will be nervous, but it's possible that she will be much less nervous than she was today. I know, it sounds very strange, but I'm sure she was more nervous at GPF last season than at Worlds. And I think, as she handles her nerves generally well, it will be ok at Olympics.

A term used to describe a person that doesn't follow through on plans that had been made, whether the plans were of important nature or not, there always seems to be a fantastically unbelievable, or stupid, reason behind this person leaving his/her friends hanging. To not follow through is to flail, or leave hangin'. When skills are developed in particular areas, displaying creativity and talent, one is considered an artist. To show skill and creativity in blowing off friends, for a legitimate reason, or from plain laziness, is a Flail Artist.
"I should have known, even though we talked yesterday about how I really needed a ride to work today, he blew me off, I'm sure hes got an awesome excuse, damn it he always does this, hes such a Flail Artist.

As far as I know, anything that handles .357 Magnum will also safely handle .38 Special. The cases are exactly the same in every detail except for length, so the .38 Special will chamber and function properly in a .357 Magnum (but not the other way 'round, of course).
The COP 357 is still made, I believe, by the American Derringer Corporation.
See: http://www.amderringer.com/first.html
Beware, however...If I'm correct in saying that they still make it, it's a custom-order product, and it's pretty expensive.

Phillips homers to right!! 2-1 Reds!
Phillips homers to right!! 2-1 Reds!
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Heisey flies out to center.
Brewers now up 3-1 on the Cards in the 3rd and still batting
Broken bat ground out to short by Votto.
Ludwick flies out to right. 2-1 Reds after 3.
Castro flies out to center.
We will need more than 2 solo homeruns to win this game.
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
Martinez singles to center.
Dominguez singles to right. 1st and 2nd.
5-4-3 DP. 2-1 Reds mid 4th.

Frazier pops out to 2nd. 2 outs.

Hello all,
I'm not sure if this is the section to be posting this, so mods, feel free to move/delete this thread if it's in the wrong spot.
I just wanted to give y'all a heads up about what to expect at Candlestick should you arrive wearing your NYG gear. First off, I fully expected to be shouted at, smack-talked to, harassed, and even pelted with a peanut or two. It's a playoff game and I was in hostile territory representing the opposing team; I get it.
However, there was hate behind the fans' actions. They wanted to fight. There was no line they wouldn't cross. There is a huge presence of gangster thugs. I spoke to several women who were groped and fondled while standing in line for refreshments. Here is a brief grocery list of things that my group of 5 experienced:
-Stepping off the bus, we were surrounded by 7-10 SF fans who got within 1'' of our faces, yelling like they were drill sergeants. Saying things like "Suck my ****" to my 57 year old mother as well as my girlfriend.
-Slapped on the side of the head from behind prior to entering the stadium. An usher saw this and laughed, saying we might want to leave before we get stabbed
-My mother had a beer poured on her head from behind while in our seats.
-I was shoved INTO a urinal from behind while relieving myself at halftime
-Girlfriend was groped several times while in line for refreshments
-Thug took out his genitals and waved them at my mother after the game.
-Asked 2 cops for any help they could provide getting us to our bus, as were were threatened by a group of fans saying they were going to jump us - they told us that we were on our own and recommended running.
***edit by author*** The cops were watching the final winning drive at the time on the TV's. We were at the gate, wanting to be the 1st ones out. They were pre-occupied by the intense action going on. One officer said "**** you on your own, final drive. Start runnin if you win"
There was minimal usher/security presence within the seating area of the stadium, so do not expect to have any security watching your area. Ushers that we did see were mostly female, who wouldn't be able to stop any physical altercation should it have ensued.
I would STRONGLY advise against walking into the tailgating area. This is where it was the most hostile. I was shoved and slapped several times here. Retaliating was out of the question (I am 6' 2'', 215 lbs), as there were huge groups looking for fights.
Good luck, keep your heads down, and if you are there with your girl or mother, STAY NEXT TO THEM AT ALL TIMES. Do not let them go to the bathroom or concession stands alone. These classless thugs are just that - classless.
Good luck, and GO NYG!

The Crowning of Miss Tropic Beauty 2013

100 of the world's hottest women in the smallest bikinis? Don't mind if we do...

One of the best parts of summer is the bikinis, or lack thereof. Luckily for us, and now you, we'll all be able to drift into a collective daydream full of leggy blondes, busty brunettes and barely there bikinis thanks to the TropicBeauty Bikini Models of 2013.
This past winter, 100 of the world's hottest women descended on Vegas to take part in the Third Annual Tropic Beauty World Finals at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, including our very own Chloe Miranda.
{"pbembedwidget":"gallery","id":"14059","size":"large","alignment":"left"} The winner, blonde bombshell Linda Zimany of Budapest, Hungary, was crowned with the title of Miss TropicBeauty 2013. No stranger to modeling, Linda won her first pageant at the age of 14 and went on to shoot a 12-page spread for Playboy Magazine in Hungary in 2010. Who doesn't love a girl in a golden bikini?
After the ceremonies, the models took time out from hosting a $1 million blackjack tournament to shoot for their 2014 calendar. But if you can't wait for next year, check out the photos of the festivities, where the girls rubbed shoulders with singer/songwriter Ryan Cabrera and 'N Sync's Joey Fatone at Tabu, MGM Grand's boutique nightclub where TropicBeauty's own DJ Pixie from France helped DJ Kid Jay keep the girls on the dance floor all night long. Can't get enough? Be sure to check out the TropicBeauty site for a comprehensive list of past and present models, more great shots and upcoming events where the TropicBeauties will be in abundance.
TropicBeauty's quest for the best takes them around America holding model searches at casinos, nightclubs, festivals and auto shows to ensure no girl next door goes undiscovered. Some of the sexiest bikini models have posed for TropicBeauty throughout the years, and the company has gone on to produce some of the hottest photos and jump-start several top models' careers, including Maxim's Hometown Hottie Dessie Mitcheson, model and actress Erica Bowie and Miss Texas United States Natalie Clarke.

Eclectic Escapades in Arresting Austin
SpringHill Suites Austin North / Parmer Lane • Austin, TX
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a King Suite, Friday through Sunday
- Champagne, Assorted Chocolates, and Popcorn in Room on Arrival
- Breakfast Buffet and Parking
- Choice of Early Check-In or Late Checkout
Austin: weird, got it. But beyond that bumper-sticker word association and Daniel Johnston's "Hi, How Are You?" mural, the supreme oddity of this central Texas city is its utter lack of doldrums. Put a skip in your spurs when you dust off your boots at SpringHill Suites Austin North/Parmer Lane and Escape to the Lone Star state's capital city where eccentricity is the happy norm.
"An eclectic pick-and-mix of retro funk and new-age entrepreneurial spirit, Austin's best side is a mystic soup of social consciousness and capitalist development, tattoo-covered artists and internet millionaires," says Lonely Planet.
Stay inside model Marriott accommodations, outfitted with cardio machines, Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, in-suite kitchens, and free W-Fi. Proximity to Round Rock Premium Outlets lets you get your hands on name brands before you grab the 1M bus into the thick of it.
A true Texas football town, gamedays turn the town to orange—even the University of Texas bell tower takes on a jack-o'-lantern hue as the turnstiles spin for Longhorn fans at DKR. Before kickoff, tour the Neo-Renaissance, pink-domed capitol building, where the cannons on the lawn remind you, "Don't Mess."
Downtown swells for big-name bashes, be it world-renown comic conventions or race-car races. Less conventional conventions gather a high concentration of Austinites, while South By Southwest and Austin City Limits remain big as ever (even by Texan standards). However, it's proving grounds like Mohawk and Hole in the Wall where local darlings lay it on the line, preserving Austin's reputation as the Live Music Capital of the World.
After sweating to dance hits with Hollywood B-movies reeling on the walls, you'll welcome the laid-back hip hangouts at Spiderhouse Café, Christmas-light-lit year-round with bathtub madonnas and salvage art to spare. Set pride aside and pick up the mic at Ego's karaoke or quote your favorite movie lines—beer in hand—at Alamo Drafthouse.
For dinner, rack up Texas-style barbecue at Ruby's or Styles Switch. Austin offers limitless takes on tacos, from Torchy's to truck varieties, while "Hey Cupcake!" is the last word—well, two words—on dessert.

Cracker Barrel: Name that phobia
It started as a conversation with a friend. We were talking about his boy, and how afraid his boy once was of water.
"Hydrophobia," I said, remembering the word from somewhere.
My friend grinned. "Ah, yes. The good old phobias. What is it that makes the names so fascinating?"
I shrugged. "Because they're so long?"
"Or so official-sounding," said my friend. "Just saying them makes you feel smug."
And so it was that we ran through all the phobias we could think of, including claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces), acrophobia (fear of heights), mysophobia (dread of dirt), and xenophobia (suspicion of strangers).
A few days later I remembered our talk and decided to further my knowledge. That night I emerged from my study bursting with new-found facts.
Phobias, I discovered, run quite the gamut, ranging from fear of oneself (monophobia) to fear of everyone else (anthrophobia). Psychiatrists claim to have labeled more than 700 separate dreads, which makes sense when you think of all the things out there to worry about.
Nature, for instance, abounds with forces worth fearing, as the recent East Coast storms make clear. There are phobias about thunder (keraunophobia), bees (apiphobia), microbes (baccilophobia), rain (ombrophobia) and even flowers (anthophobia).
Extreme temperatures of the wintry sort might induce psychrophobia, or fear of the cold. Here in the Midwest we needn't suffer from thalassophobia, or fear of the ocean, but having become acclimated to life in the sheltering woods, we might well experience agoraphobia, or fear of open places, if stuck out on the plains.
On the social side of things, we might develop androphobia (fear of men), gynephobia (fear of women), ochlophobia (fear of crowds) or pediphobia (fear of children or dolls). Gamophobia, or fear of marriage, is an ever-present threat.
When it comes to things medical, we might fall prey to nosophobia (fear of disease), hematophobia (fear of blood), algophobia (fear of pain), belonophobia (fear of pins and needles) or perhaps iatrophobia (dread of doctors).
And then, of course, there are the various occupational hazards such as a painter developing chromophobia (fear of certain colors), a furniture salesman coming down with a case of clinophobia (fear of beds), a trucker succumbing to gephydrophobia (fear of crossing bridges), a barber becoming trichophobic (afraid of hair) or an executive overwhelmed by decidophobia (fear of making decisions).
Then, too, we all run the risk of becoming ponophobic, or afraid of work.
But worst of all, we might develop phobophobia, or fear of our own fears, in which case, I submit, it would be well to call time-out and retire to the kitchen for a soothing little snack.
Unless, of course, you suffer from arachibutyrophobia, which, as you probably guessed, means fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.

10 West Market Street, Suite 2100
Indianapolis, Indiana 46204
Man Sentenced to Prison for Student Loan Fraud
Susan W. Brooks, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, announced that NATHAN VOGTS, 27, Ching Mai, Thailand, was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment today by U.S. District Judge David F. Hamilton following his guilty plea to two counts of Student Loan Fraud. This case was the result of an investigation by the United States Department of Education, Office of the Inspector General.
Between May, 1999 and August, 2001, VOGTS, an American citizen, was enrolled in an undergraduate program at Bond University in Queensland, Australia. Between June 6, 2001 and May 3, 2002, VOGTS obtained five federally insured student loans totaling approximately $87,855 from lenders in the United States. To qualify for the loans, VOGTS falsely represented that he was enrolled in a graduate degree program at the university. VOGTS' enrollment at the university, however, ceased when he received his undergraduate degree and he was never enrolled in a graduate degree program at the university. VOGTS used the fraudulently acquired loan proceeds to support himself, to start a business venture, and to seek treatment for a medical condition.
According to Assistant United States Attorney Joe H. Vaughn, who prosecuted the case for the government, Judge Hamilton also imposed 3 years supervised release following VOGTS' release from imprisonment. During the period of supervised release, VOGTS will be subject to the supervision of the United States District Court. VOGTS was ordered to make restitution in the amount of $87,855.

The Diversity Service Recognition annual award, sponsored by the Chancellor's Committee on Race and Ethnicity (CCORE), formerly Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Minority Affairs (CACMA), is given to campus units to recognize their continuing efforts to create a diverse and supportive, learning, working, and living environment, as well as their commitment to promoting an understanding of multicultural issues.
Those who submitted nominations for this award were asked to describe how the unit has functioned as a whole to promote and put into effect the ideals of a diverse and multicultural Boulder campus community, provide examples demonstrating the active role of the campus unit in different areas of campus life, the unique contributions of the unit, and the participation of different members of the unit, as well as have a record of serving the campus community by promoting education, communication, collaboration, service and support in their activities.
This award was presented by CCORE members on Nov. 13, 2013 during the Diversity Summit. There were six departments nominated this year. CCORE is honored to present the award recipients for the 2013 CCORE Diversity Service Recognition Award to two units this year; the Student Outreach and Retention Center for Equity (SORCE) and to the Student Academic Success Center (SASC).

(City of Boulder news release)
The University of Colorado at Boulder and the City of Boulder are announcing a pilot party registration program that is designed to help students become better informed about how to host responsible gatherings while giving police and neighbors other options for resolving noise complaints.
The pilot will run Friday and Saturday nights from April 16 to May 8.
Under the pilot program, CU students will be permitted to register a party in advance with Off-Campus Student Services. When hosts sign up, they will be provided educational materials that make them aware of their responsibilities and neighborhood concerns. If a noise complaint is called in during the party, police dispatch will notify the student hosts by calling the number provided as contact information. Students will then have a 20-minute window to break up their party. If a second complaint is received, an officer will be dispatched to the address and a citation will be issued once a violation is confirmed. Students who receive a violation may be subject to penalties in Municipal Court, through restorative justice programs, and the Office of Judicial Affairs at CU.
It is important to note that officers will continue to respond promptly to emergency situations and allegations of criminal conduct that involve more than noise or neighborhood disturbances. The 20-minute grace period will not apply in these cases.
Students can register in Off-Campus Student Services (UMC 313), Mondays Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Fridays from 9a.m. to noon for a party on Friday or Saturday nights. Students must register in person and show their Buff One Card. Registration is open to all CU students in all neighborhoods throughout the City of Boulder. Students who register will receive a Smart Party Bag which includes the Smart Party Guide, a flyer on host liability, a party checklist and information on CU's NightRide program, as well as non-alcoholic beverages, snacks and trash bags.
"The University of Colorado Student Government (CUSG) is excited to be a partner in this pilot program," said Ashley Michelson, neighborhood and city relations director for the CUSG. "We are looking forward to participating in a program that provides students the opportunity to work with the Boulder Police department in this proactive effort"
The Boulder Police Department and residents have been involved in the planning of the pilot program. At a meeting hosted on April 8 with residents of the neighborhoods adjacent to campus to explain the intent of the program and its possible impacts to neighborhoods, residents expressed positive support for the pilot program. A follow up meeting will be scheduled after the pilot period to receive feedback from the residents.
The program is modeled after a similar initiative that has been in operation at James Madison University for eight years and began in Fort Collins in 2009. Residents in Fort Collins have reported favorable outcomes, including a more collaborative approach to problem solving, faster resolution of underlying noise concerns, and increased student responsibility.
"We are hopeful that this pilot program will help us, as law enforcement, strike a balance between giving students the opportunity to hold themselves accountable and providing neighbors with appropriate resources for resolving problems," said Cmdr. Curtis Johnson, who oversees swing and night shift officers.
The program will be evaluated at the end of the pilot period. The evaluation will include follow-up surveys for both students who register their party and neighbors who may have been impacted by the parties and the new approach. Community members who wish to provide feedback while the pilot is ongoing are encouraged to call CU Off-Campus Student Services at 303-492-7053.

Re: Hello from Australia
Hi, I'm also from Australia.
Been trying a few of Jamie's 30 minute meals - favourite so far is the Indian style steak, it's a big hit with my better half too. Our only trouble is that we're in a rural area and it's sometimes hard to get some of the ingredients. For instance, Jalfrezi paste can't be found within 60 kilometres of us, so I have to make my own.
My mother is getting me the 15 minute meals book for Christmas and I'm really looking forward to trying some of those recipes too. The TV show is playing here at present and some of the dishes sound (and look) wonderful.
My biggest trouble with cooking is that I make a BIG mess!
I'm waiting for a book from Jamie titled "How to Clean Up Your Kitchen in Under 15 Minutes" What do you think? Would it be a hit?
Summer has hit us this week, it's getting rather hot during the day.
Look forward to seeing you all round the forum.

Striker Helen Collins has been rewarded for her form in domestic football with a first call-up to the New Zealand women's side for next month's Cyprus Cup.
Waikato-based Collins is only new player to the Football Ferns squad, although goalkeeper Erin Nayler is also uncapped at senior international level. Collins is a former age-group international with a formidable record at local level.
"Helen has dominated the domestic scene for a few years now in the ASB Women's League and regional competitions and she gets her opportunity to try and replicate that form at international level," coach Tony Readings said. "She brings something a bit different into the attacking mix. She's direct and physically imposing with great finishing abilities."
Collins was the leading scorer in the ASB Women's League with 10 goals in six games for WaiBOP as well as 45 goals for Claudelands in the northern regional league.
The 24-year-old played for New Zealand at the Oceania under-20 women's championship in Samoa in 2006 and was part of the squad that travelled to the world cup in Russia that year making two appearances off the bench.
Injury has ruled out incumbent custodian Jenny Bindon, giving former cricket international Rebecca Rolls and Junior Football Ferns No 1 Erin Nayler an opportunity.
New Zealand have been drawn in a group with England, Italy and Scotland for the Cyprus Cup to be held from March 6-13. The Cyprus Cup is an annual invitational tournament first created in 2008 - New Zealand first attended in 2009 and has been invited every year since.
"We're pleased to be attending again," Readings said. "The Cyprus Cup has become a big part of our annual preparation."
It will be the first time the Football Ferns have played since last year's Olympic Games, when they were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the 12-team competition, and first time since securing $800,000 funding from High Performance Sport New Zealand for both 2013 and 2014.
They opened the Games against Great Britain, going down 1-0 in a disappointing performance. The Great Britain squad featured 16 English players and two Scots.
New Zealand women's football squad to play at the Cyprus Cup from March 6-13: Goalkeepers: Erin Nayler (Eastern Suburbs), Rebecca Rolls (Fencibles); Defenders: Ria Percival (USV Jena, Germany), Anna Green (Lokomotive Leipzig, Germany), Abby Erceg (Adelaide United, Australia), Rebecca Smith (captain, VfL Wolfsburg, Germany), Ali Riley (LdB Malmo, Sweden), Bridgette Armstrong (Glenfield Rovers), Rebecca Stott (SC Sand, Germany); Midfielders: Katie Hoyle (unattached), Hayley Bowden (Chelsea, England), Kirsty Yallop (Vittsjo, Sweden), Betsy Hassett (SC Sand, Germany), Annalie Longo (Sydney FC, Australia), Katie Bowen (University North Carolina, USA), Holly Patterson (unattached); Forwards: Amber Hearn (USV Jena, Germany), Sarah Gregorius (Bad Neunahr, Germany), Rosie White (UCLA, USA), Hannah Wilkinson (University of Tennessee, USA), Helen Collins (Claudelands Rovers).
