A young Vietnamese woman's husband fell ill. Desperate for a cure, she later recounted, she visited the local Buddhist temple. A monk there instructed her to "release 40 birds, one for every year of your husband's life." So she did, purchasing and releasing 40 birds at the temple grounds. The woman soon rejoiced; her husband made a full recovery. This is a common story in Asia, where "merit release " of captive wild animals are performed in Buddhist rituals. But the practice raises concern amongst the conservation community for its potential to impact threatened species. Before a bird can be freed, it has to be captured—often just after having been released by someone else.
The result is the denuding of wild populations and a vast recycling of mistreated animals, most of which are likely die on one of their ersatz flights to freedom. As if that were not bad enough, the dead, disease-ridden animals are then sold in food markets. "We were staggered by the number of birds moving through this trade," says Martin Gilbert, a veterinarian at the Wildlife Conservation Society who recently co-authored a study in Biological Conservation on merit releases. "It's a very good rational and understandable thing to do, to let captive animals go free," he says. "But in certain situations, it creates a trade purely for demand for animals in cages." Gilbert and his colleagues monitored daily sales of merit release birds in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, over a period of 13 months. From their findings, they estimated nearly 700,000 animals pass through the local trade annually. They recorded a total of 57 bird species in the cages, including globally near-threatened Asian golden weavers and vulnerable yellow-breasted buntings.
"This paper highlights the potentially huge impact merit releases have on a few birds that are easily caught and are already of conservation concern," says John Pilgrim, a conservation consultant who specializes in Southeast Asia and Melanesia and who was not involved in the study. Gilbert says he knows of only one other study, conducted in Hong Kong, which attempted to estimate merit release figures. The numbers were comparable, reporting that Hong Kong Buddhist temples released up to 580,000 birds per year.
"It's pretty scary that this [new] paper estimates just a dozen families in two small markets sold more than 630,000 birds per year," Pilgrim says. Conservationists do not know how the merit release market figures into Asia's overall wildlife trade, which also exploits wild birds for pets, food, passerine fights and song contests. Globally, trade in wild birds impacts about 400 species that are listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List, or one third of all threatened bird species. No one know how many birds succumb each year to the wildlife trade since much of the trafficking is illegal, but within Southeast Asia alone, it is likely "in the order of tens of millions," says Kelly Edmunds, a researcher at the University of East Anglia in England who investigates the emerging infectious diseases amongst bird sellers in Asia and was not involved in the study.
Buddhists free captive animals in order to accumulate health and longevity merits for themselves and loved ones. The exact origins of the practice are unclear, though it was mentioned in fifth-century Chinese Buddhist texts that instructed followers to "practice the act of releasing animals due to the mind of compassion."

Great produce, super quality, fast service ...and did I say that I really like the cover?
This was my first purchase from Leatherology made after a google search and I am very pleased with the product quality, speed of fulfillment, packaging, and accuracy of catalog description. It is a Christmas gift for my husband to use for carrying a very special bible that was a gift from his late sister. We needed to prevent further wear and tear and this cover fits just perfectly within the dimensions advertised. Gold monogram is very nice, leather is soft and well finished in black. I felt this organizer looked the most masculine of the products on this site. Highly recommended!
I was somewhat skeptical about ordering the leather bible cover I purchased. I had it personalized for my Dad and gave it to him for Father's Day. Much to my surprise, it was perfect, high quality and exeeded my expectations. My dad loved it too. Would highly recommend this site and will purchase from them again!
~ a very satisfied customer
Loved all the organizational compartments. However, I did not like the look of the leather. It looked like seventies style to me. I wish I would've gotten the Italian, vegetable dyed leather. I feel that may have had a genuine, leather appearance that would've worn well.
Very impressed with the quality of product! You will not be disapointed!
The overall quality of this organizer and the leather in general is top notch. Shipment and delivery is also VERY quick, even though I had the organizer monogrammed. I highly recommend Leatherology! I look forward to doing business again.
It's a gift and I haven't looked at it in depth, but it looks at first glance like first-rate quality. I was so impressed with the packaging, I didn't look minutely at the cover itself. When I go to wrap it I'll look more closely but I don't think I'll find a thing wrong with it.
I am very pleased with this product and the service. I am looking forward to continue doing business with you. Thank you
Am very impressed with the quality of the cover and the packaging was classy and professional.
A little salty for a bible cover, but if you want the best of the best this is it! I found no flaws, top quality and very nice!
Love this product. Leather is just right, quality is excellent, the service was prompt, product is designed to fit my need i.e. hold an ipad and other stuff used at church. Great choice, thank you Leatherology !!!
The Bible case is excellent. The quality is good and well designed. I would buy another one if needed.

J'acCUSE! Get it? Get it??
Now that we've gotten that punnery out of our system, the facts: Syracuse defensive end Markus Pierce-Brewster and defensive tackle Davon Walls are among four students facing felony burglary charges. The students are accused — allegedly backed up by surveillance videos — of burglarizing several Syracuse apartments, making off with close to a thousand dollars' worth of electronic equipment.
Pierce-Brewster played in all 13 games for the Orange last season, recording 13 solo tackles, seven solo tackles for loss and one sack. Walls is perhaps best known for declaring last offseason, "I'm like a steak. People want it medium rare."

It was a dark and stormy night. Well, not quite, but it was cold out that day.
Back in Feb of '08, I started to take an interest in our political system that is of this great nation. But at the time, my college student brain figured that I should side with the Democrats. After all, everything was Bush's fault, right? :) So I initially supported Obama and when the time came for the PA primaries, I voted for him. Yup, everything seemed peachy as the cold winter gave way to the warm summer.
But then, I came across a figure named Ron Paul. Now, please don't throw tomatoes at me, I do realize his foreign policy is cheesier than a liberal's. But what got me interested in him was his background in free market economics. It's what led me to stop believing the liberal lie that "all conservatives are fascists" and instead see things from a constitutional perspective. This got me motivated enough to switch to the Republican party in the summer and I was certainly educating myself about conservative beliefs. I even started listening to Rush, who I didn't know existed until I started scanning the radio one day.
Unfortunately for me (and you), it still wasn't enough to change my perspective of Obama. At the time, I still had those Bush-derangement syndrome feelings and McCain's campaign wasn't exactly doing too well. So I ended up voting for Obama in the '08 election. Oh God, I can still remember it too well. We use paper ballots and I can still remember filling that dot in extra hard to make sure that it counted. What was I thinking? Nothing, apparently in this case.
It wasn't until after the election that I started doing my homework. Have you ever had that "oh crap" feeling when you realize that you forgot to do something important? That's what i kind of felt when i realized how crazy this guy was (ties to Ayers) and seeing how his past was nothing like the media portrayed it on TV. That's when i became determined that I would never let my emotions be blinded by reality and on that month, I became a conservative.
So, that's my story. I'm still in college as a junior going into IT. I've posted around some other forums with the same name, so I'm more thick-skinned now. ;) Hopefully, I'll remember to come over here once in a while and give my input.

Sochi, Russia (SportsNetwork.com) - Bob Costas' eye infection has become one of the more prevailing stories at the Sochi Games.
Now, with the conjunctivitis having spread to both eyes, NBC Sports has pulled the veteran broadcaster from primetime coverage. Today Show host Matt Lauer will fill in on Tuesday evening, marking the first time since 1988 that someone other than Costas has anchored the coverage.
"I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but you're going to be my Mariano Rivera tonight," Costas told Lauer on air Tuesday morning.
NBC had taken to using ever-wider shots to reduce the visual impact of Costas' infected eyes. Costas actually joked about his pinkeye on Monday, as he downed a shot of vodka with fellow on-air personality Mary Carillo, noting that his eyes couldn't get any worse.

Mike Neal 2013 Green Bay Packers Evaluation and Report Card
1) Introduction: Eyebrows were raised during training camp when it was revealed that the Green Bay Packers were giving Mike Neal, formerly a defensive end in their 3-4 defense, a shot to perform at outside linebacker. After years of showing potential only to be derailed by some sort of an injury, Neal was a man on a mission in training camp and was determined to prove what everyone thought about him (when healthy) was justified. Moving Neal to outside linebacker seemed like a crazy move but given how badly the Packers needed a pass rush, they were willing to try anything
2) Profile: Mike Neal
- Age: 26
- Born: 06/26/1987 in Gary, IN
- Height: 6'3″
- Weight: 285
- College: Purdue
- Rookie Year: 2010
- NFL Experience: 4 years
- Career Stats and more
3) Expectations coming into the season: Even before the news about moving Neal to outside linebacker, this was shaping up to be a make-or-break year for him. He missed all but nine games his first two years in the league and was considered by many to be an injury risk. 2012 was much better as Neal saw action in 11 of the 16 games but he still missed time but this time because of a substance abuse suspension. If he could just stay healthy, he could be the missing piece in the Packers finally establishing a consistent pass rush. However, as he adjusts to his new role as an OLB, it was unclear how successful the move might be and what growing pains Neal might encounter. The initial plan was to have Neal split time between linebacker and subpackage lineman.
4) Player's highlights/low-lights: Neal notched his first career interception in Week 2 against the Redskins and forced a critical fumble in the Packers' come from behind 22-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. Neal struggled against the Vikings in the 26-26 tie in Week 12 and not stopping Adrian Peterson was a big reason the Packers couldn't get the win against the lowly Vikings.

I too was skeptical while watching Deb raving about these cloths. I am fussy and particular about my cleaning products. Since purchase I have used nothing except bleach & the ultimate cloths for cleaning. I went crazy with the first use...could not believe how amazing they worked on everything. There is nothing to compare! I babysit my grandchildren once a week & I take a cloth with me. Mom can not believe how much cleaning I get done. My secret is the ultimate. Deb you were right!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

works great hard to clean once dirty
By john
from north bay
it worked very well as described. especially on glass. but once it is dirty it is very hard to get like new again.
Absolutely Ultimate
By LEANNE
from SWIFT CURRENT
I just bought new appliances. I like the look of stainless but know they are a pain to keep clean. We might be selling our home and I know everyone else want stainless appliances, so I bought them. They are a pain to keep clean without these cloths. The ultimate cloth cleans fast and I can even spot clean the stainless appliances. I can wipe all my appliances and small appliances in about 10 minutes and they look new. My china cabinet glass hasn't looked that good in years and again it took much less time to get the job done. Very happy with these, they do what they say they do. I wash in the machine when they get dirty, no fabric softener and hang to dry. I already have recommended them to everyone I know.
By Tara Jewell
from Fredericton (New Brunswick)
I was skeptical - but these things really work - I have glossy laminate countertops in my kitchen that I always struggled to keep looking nice - not any more - these cloths are AMAZING... all over the house. Glad I finally ordered them.
Ultimate cleaning cloth
By Chris the cleaner

I use these cloths mostly for mirrors and glass for a perfect streak free surface.A friend ask me what I use for my mirrors because she was frustrated with trying to get her mirror streak free and I told her about these cloths, so she tried it and could not believe how well they worked.

after seeing on them on tsc for many years I finally decided to try them---I have a reputation for been extremely fussy---I was amazed how great a job they did. Glad I finally order them
A Very Happy Customer
By Love the Shopping Channel
from Caledon Ontario
Tried them for the first time today...did all my dusting, mirrors, glass table tops, pictures and then did all my French doors ((5), then my windows in FR, kitchen and DR, my front and back door and the stainless steel dishwasher. This cloth really works and it seemed to take no time at all. I kept telling my husband how amazing this cloth is. When rinsing/cleaning the cloth inbetween jobs in cold water, I was amazed at how much dirt it actually took off especially on the windows. Passed this great find to my sister and I will definitely be stocking up.
By cartersnan
from Regina, Saskatchewan
I bought a number of these in the different sizes and shared with my family. At first they were not sure I knew what I was talking about. Once they got them home and used them they called to say I was sooo right. They are awesome. They used them in the house, in the car and my son used it on his truck. They luv it too.
Great product!
By Sandy
from Alberta
I have used the ultimate cloth for my stainless appliances and loved it. I tell everyone how great these work especially on mirrors and anywhere else that you like to make sure there is no streaking.
"Amazing product I will buy again"
By Carol
from KINGSTON
Used this product to clean my condo window's have tried everything to get them clean and nothing has worked. Used these on them for the first time today. My windows almost look new they are so clean. I am still shocked at how clean they are since nothing else has even remotely cleaned them.

Sense & Sensibility
by Jane Austen
Publisher Pavilion Press
Language English
Edition Softcover
› Find signed collectible books: 'Sense & Sensibility'
Though not the first novel she wrote, Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister:
Oh! Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night! I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat. To hear those beautiful lines which have frequently almost driven me wild, pronounced with such impenetrable calmness, such dreadful indifference!Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr. Willoughby, a new neighbor. So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. Then Willoughby abandons her; meanwhile, Elinor's growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. Though Marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure. --Alix Wilber [via]

You can send the pressed, dried collection (with complete locality information indicated) to us (e-mail us for details) or refer us to an accessioned herbarium specimen. Non-occurrence of a plant in an indicated area is difficult to document, but we will especially value your input on those types of possible errors (see automatic conversion of distribution data to maps).

- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyConstipation 1 Tbsp (15 ml) whole or ground with a full glass of water, one or two times per day [3 stars]Flaxseed is a mild bulk-forming laxative that's best suited for long-term use in people with constipation.Hypertension and Atherosclerosis Refer to label instructions [2 stars]In a double-blind trial, eating foods with milled flaxseed lowered both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with atherosclerosis of the lower extremities.Menopause 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds twice per day [1 star]Supplementing with flaxseeds may improve the frequency and severity of hot flashes in postmenopausal women.Ulcerative Colitis Refer to label instructions [1 star]Flaxseed is an anti-inflammatory and soothing herb that may be effective in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.
Flaxseed, called linseed in some countries, is a good source of dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans. Each of these components may contribute to the health effects of eating flaxseed, but flaxseed oil contains no fiber and very little lignan.

I just recently switched from fish and krill oil products, to taking flax oil instead. I"m feeling much better already. None of the uncomfortable side effects that came from taking the fish and krill oil products. I like to make sure I get my omegas for overall health, and also to maintain my heart health and cholesterol levels. High cholesterol kind of runs in my family, so I want to make sure I keep a good eye on mine. I take one softgel after breakfast, and I"m all set for the rest of the day. I"m glad to have found another fine quality product from GNC that I can stick with!

Microsoft Recruiting for .NET Micro Community
A dedicated community site for productive work within .NET embedded applications has been planned since the end of January. The associated SDK family is partly covered by Apache licensing.
Peter Galli, open source community manager in Microsoft's Platform Strategy group, called attention to the new community platform in the Microsoft open source blog. As he reported to the current Microsoft product managers, "This site is designed to be open just like our product is." After their announcement of the .NET Micro platform in November 2009, the Redmond firm released parts of the family under the Apache License 2.0. The announcement also introduced the community development site for the .NET Micro framework.
For a glimpse of the Windows software, the community site is not where to look, but rather on Microsoft's download pages. The company is hoping with its new community site that many people will download the .NET Micro Framework 4.0 SDK and its associated software, describe their own creations and provide them (either free or commercially-based) in the Showcase. Microsoft will be releasing the program material for the framework, but external interested parties will have a choice of which code will flow into the versions.
The open source license applies to the Micro SDK and the Framework 4.0 Porting Kit that allows adapting the runtime to specific hardware. Excluded from the Apache licensing are the two libraries for the TCP/IP stack and cryptography. The SDK functionality and license restrictions are described in the Micro team announcement blog. The individual .NET Micro components are best described in Michael Schwarz's Netmicroframework blog.

Published on: Thursday, April 25, 2013
By Jim Davis
More than 150 firefighters battled a massive blaze for more than six hours Wednesday night at Ritchie's Landfill in Upper Marlboro.
Ritchie Volunteer Fire Department responded just after 8 p.m. Wednesday to the landfill in the 2000 block of Ritchie Marlboro Road.
Firefighters reported the mulch fire was about 500 feet long, 400 feet wide and about 100 feet tall. At one point, flames reached 20 to 30 feet in the air. Additional units were requested to the scene.
As fire crews attacked the massive flames, strong winds sent embers into the nearby woods starting a small brush fire, said Mark Brady, chief spokesman for Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department. More units were then dispatched to the scene, Brady added.
With no hope of extinguishing the fire with water, foam units were requested from Fairfax and Charles counties, Joint Base Andrews, the U.S. Naval Academy, and Reagan National and Baltimore-Washington airports.
Several backhoe loaders and hydraulic cylinders also were requested to the scene to help remove the mulch, fire officials said.
Around midnight, Brady said, "Firefighters will still have to remain on the scene for several more hours until the fire can be completely extinguished." After six hours, more than 150 firefighters brought the fire under control.
No injuries were reported, and the cause fire is under investigation.

Waterbury Fireball Run was great experience for all involved
On behalf of my partner Joe Wall and me, I wish to thank Waterbury Mayor M. O'Leary; the Waterbury Regional Chamber; its president and CEO, Lynn Ward; the Republican-American; the contestants and production crew of Fireball Run; and most certainly the people of Waterbury, for the warmth and support they showed to all of the Fireball Run Adventurally Contestants when we arrived Sept. 27.
Each contestant was impressed not only with the Palace Theater, the food and the people, but also complimented us on how much support this city and the surrounding towns put forth. That support began for us in February when FRA Executive Producer J. Sanchez challenged me to complete my car project before April 1. When we met that deadline, he upped the ante and said, "Now raise the entry fee and get in the rally." With help from our families and friends in the Nutmeg Miata Club, First Congregational Church of Waterbury, Knights of Columbus Lodge 3492 of Watertown, Harmony Lodge 42 of Waterbury, Chubba's Restaurant, Joe's Tire Shop, Waterbury PAL, and so many more people I do not have room to mention here, we were able to make this journey.

Film Screening followed by Q&A with producer Nicholas Bonner
Monday, November 10, 20084:00 PM - 6:30 PM314 Royce HallLos Angeles, CA 90095
This is the story of the last American defector in North Korea, James Joseph Dresnok. It's a story of defection, kidnap, love, and political intrigue, all set and captured in the most secret and inaccessible country on earth: North Korea.
In the 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, four US soldiers defected to North Korea. None of the men had any idea what awaited them on the other side. No one knows why they defected, until now. Each man left his Southern border post in the demilitarised zone -the DMZ, a 2.5 mile wide patch of land that splits the Korean peninsula in half and is the most heavily fortified area on earth, packed with 2.5m land mines- and walked into an alien world. Dresnok and his unique band of brothers published propaganda pamphlets, telling the world how happy they were in 'the People's Paradise' and starred in propaganda films, vilifying US servicemen. They became North Korean national heroes.
The world knows of only one of these men: Charles Robert Jenkins. His story broke open in September 2002 when it was reported that one of the kidnapped Japanese nationals, Hitomi Soga, had married an American defector. What no one knew at that time, except for the filmmakers, was that a second American defector, James Joseph Dresnok, was alive. Jenkins now lives in Japan with his wife and daughters. He is a key part of the story but as much of it is now in the public domain, it is Dresnok who is the driving force of the film. Dresnok remains in North Korea and lives with his family in the capital city, Pyongyang, and has not had contact with outsiders since his defection in 1962.
Dresnok grew up a poor orphan in Virginia, and never finished high school. He had little choice but go to the army when after a first stint in West Germany, he was sent over to the most dangerous border in the world, the DMZ. Dresnok has now lived for 44 years in Pyongyang, capital city of North Korea, one of the most deeply anti-American societies in the world. He worked for the Korean People's Army as an English teacher, learned the language and the system.
For the first time, Dresnok tells his story.
In making the film, the filmmakers had astonishing access to Dresnok, his daily life in North Korea, his and the other defector families, and even the North Korean soldier who captured him in 1962. These sights have never been seen before to anyone outside North Korea, and even to most North Koreans.
The Korean War was a brutal and devastating conflict that in just three years cost some four million lives, many of them civilians. An armistice was signed in 1953 to end hostilities but the war was never officially over. In the early 60s, at the height of the Cold War, a further confrontation between North and South seemed inevitable and the DMZ was one of the most perilous postings for a US soldier. To those serving either side of the divide, the Korean War had, indeed, never ended. There were constant incidents and provocations.
And in a story that seems more Hollywood but is very real, four US Army soldiers sent to guard the DMZ and keep the peace would betray everything their country stood for: cross over and defect to North Korea.

October 17, 2008-New York, NY- In the 1960s, four U.S. soldiers serving in the Korean Demilitarized Zone crossed the most heavily fortified border on earth and defected to Communist North Korea. Trapped in the most secretive country on earth, their life was hidden from the outside world for 40 years. Not even the U.S. government knew their fate. James Joseph Dresnok, one of these four American defectors, is the only one who remains in North Korea today.
The UCLA Center for Korean Studies and The Korea Society have organized a special screening of Crossing the Line, a new documentary film that tells his story, to be held on Monday, November 10 at 4:00 PM at 314 Royce Hall on the UCLA Campus. The program will include a post-screening discussion led by the documentary's co-producer Nicholas Bonner who will talk about Dresnok, North Korea and the experience of filming a documentary in one of the least media-friendly environments in the world.
The filmmakers of Crossing the Line were allowed unprecedented access by the North Korean authorities to the subject of their documentary. They were permitted not only to interview Dresnok extensively but also to follow him through his daily life in Pyongyang. Their film, narrated by actor Christian Slater, presents a story that the New York Daily News has called "fascinating" and "unforgettable."
The UCLA screening is the ninth stop on a nationwide Crossing the Line screening and discussion tour organized by The Korea Society. Since October 27, the documentary has screened at Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Ohio State, Kansas State, Notre Dame and Berkeley. On Wednesday, November 12 at 6:15 PM, Crossing the Line will make its final tour stop at UC Santa Barbara's McCune Conference Center.

I met a man named Thomas Horn who once spent 16 hours gluing strands of his own hair onto the legs and torso of a wooden tarantula, and that is far from the most extraordinary thing he's done.
It wasn't 16 hours at a single sitting, mind you, but in total, as he crafted one in his line of award-winning wood carvings of tropical birds in their habitats.
The bird in question was a plate-billed mountain toucan, and his vivid rendering of it — perched among pink-and-white orchids, preparing to feed on the hairy black spider — took first place in the world category at the 2007 Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival.
That's an annual event sponsored by the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art at Salisbury University in Maryland. It brings together carvers from all over the world at the end of each April.

Horn, 42, of Upper Milford Township, entered for the first time in 2005 and won best in show in the novice level for a depiction of two green aracaris — small toucans — among tropical plants.
It was an extraordinary debut for a guy who had only started carving in earnest the year before, expanding on skills he acquired as a boy from an Emmaus art teacher named Floyd Keim.
This year, Horn took top honors in the world category again with a carvings of two hummingbirds — a male violet sabre wing and a female green hermit from the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica. He observed these creatures during one of his forays to the tropics, an environment that captured his imagination years ago.
"It's really one of the true American art forms," Horn said, tracing the origin bird carving from its beginnings — American Indians making crude decoys — to its contemporary incarnation as a fine art.
Professionally, Horn designs and makes jewelry. His carvings are spare-time work, which he fits in among the sundry duties of being a husband and a father of four.
He begins with a sketch, makes a clay model and then starts creating his habitats. He carves the birds from tupelo wood or bass wood. He fashions plant fronds and orchid blooms out of metal, usually brass. He makes moss out of wood chips and thread.
He has acquired a lot of first-hand knowledge of birds and their habitats on his trips to the tropics, and supplements this with library research.
He is patient — the pieces take many months — and exacting. Striving to make an authentic-looking tarantula for the 2007 piece, he tried cat hair first.
It didn't look right, so he tried his own. Bingo.
Last year, trying to reproduce the arresting iridescence of certain tropical species, he devised a technique that he considers a trade secret. He will only say that it is superior to traditional techniques involving pearlescent paints.
Because Horn owns a number of loud dogs, we met at his parent's house, next door to his own. It's the house Horn grew up in and his mother, Patricia, proudly showed me the exquisite mural he painted above the stair landing at 17 — three Japanese women beneath a blossoming cherry tree — and a ewer-and-fruit still life he executed at nine.
"I had signed him up for art school and he was so mad he wouldn't talk to me," she remembered. "But isn't he amazing? It amazes me what he can do."

I had the opportunity to head out to San Francisco this past week to get a closer look at an early build of
Kalypso Entertainment's
upcoming title
, which was rumored leading up to
and, eventually, unveiled with a demo video at the show. Several months later,
was ready to show an early Alpha build of the title and give a much closer look at the world of
The game centers around the primary character of Eric Bane, who wakes up as a vampire, having just been recently turned into one, but having no recollection of who turned him or how it even happened. Eric finds himself in a nightclub that is filled with vampires, wondering who he can turn to for help with his new life. Ultimately, he finds out that there is far more important things than just a life of adjustment. Just like in mythology and fiction regarding vampires, the rules are the same here: Eric has to find his creator, the vampire who actually turned him, and feed off of his blood. If he does not do this, he will turn into a half-breed known as a ghoul, which players will encounter as enemies throughout the game.
The demo allowed me to view two early stages of the game, one of which being a tutorial. As with any early build of a game, there are some good points of the game and some things that need some work.
True Stealth System
Stealth games aren't really stealth games, and, honestly, never have been. Rarely have there been games where sneaking is at an absolute premium and is forced to do so. I can come up with titles such as
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
and the early
games. After that, though, most stealth titles still give you the option to run and gun through just about everything. The beauty of
is that there aren't any weapons to try and just do a victory charge through everything. Players will have to utilize cover at almost every turn. Vampiric powers become a player's best friend, such as doing teleportation, vision enhancement (more on that later), and incredible strength to kill enemies quickly. The challenge in this game is going to be avoiding enemies, especially in large rooms. If a gamer gets seen and can't find cover quickly, then Eric will fall quickly.
The Environment
Vampires = darkness. This is not really groundbreaking news, but the environment has a dark feel to it throughout the entire title. Even in the nightclub, there is an overall creepiness to the atmosphere around Eric. With only two levels viewable at the event, I look forward to seeing what the development team comes up with in later stages of the game.
Plethora of Vampire Powers
If I'm going to play as a vampire, I better have a nice collection of abilities at my disposal.
proves to give a player just that as one progresses through the game. The experience system, while a work in progress and nothing set in stone, is designed to reward players with more powers the better a player progresses without causing a ruckus and being as stealthy as possible. I only got to play with a couple of the powers, mainly the teleportation ability and the enhanced vision, which allows a player to see the circulation of enemies to give them away through any structure. Keep in mind, though, that it will only work on the living...
The battle system
I was assured that this is still a work in progress, but there is a lot left to be desired with the battle system. While I enjoy being able to sneak up behind an enemy and kill them quickly as one should be able to do with a sneak attack, it shouldn't be a quick kill in a panic. While enemies can repel and parry attacks from the front, I found that it didn't happen very often and Eric could basically punch his way to a hiding spot easily. I feel as though a true melee system needs to be implemented for this title or, at the least, make it a bit harder to get out of a pinch. A stealth title should be difficult as all hell, not easy to get out of a pinch and dive behind some boxes.
The alert system
Another piece that I think still needs some fine tuning, I don't like the fact that it takes a few seconds for an enemy to realize that a vampire is about to come rip his head off. I would like to see maybe a second or two before an enemy sees Eric and not what seemed to be five to six seconds. A ring appears on the screen with an arrow that points in the direction of where Eric is being spotted from. If I'm walking towards an enemy and I don't look to be in the same type of uniform as that enemy, then I should be getting shot at. I want to see this reaction time shortened up before launch.
There are a couple of things I had highlighted from this trip that I wanted to comment on, but couldn't put them into either category because they just haven't gotten to the part yet. Character models are still in the process of being cleaned up, though they looked pretty good from what I saw at the event. The animations for speaking haven't been added in, so it was strange seeing the characters talking, but not speaking nor having the lip movements with the words. Voiceovers are being added in at a later date, so there is no word on a voice cast just yet. Dialogue was being handled by subtitle, which is alright, but outside of playing a
title, I don't think any game can survive in this age of gaming without having voice actors.
Ultimately, it's too early to really tell what
is going to end up being in the final product. There is a good base for a story and character development set in place, and it will be interesting to see just how the story actually progresses throughout the title, which is expected to have over ten hours of gameplay and the need to play through more than once in order to unlock all of the vampire powers. The items I've listed that need work are the ones that stick out the most. I can't make a final judgment on a game that is probably only 60-70 percent complete, so there is definitely time for improvement on these parts of the game. If that happens, then
could be one of the early sleeper titles to pick up in the first quarter of 2013.
Note: Kalypso paid for airfare, lodging, and provided food for this trip.

Bucharest - romantic and mysterious
In earlier times Bucharest was the home of the Prince of Valachia, and these days the capital of Romania with its 2 million residents is a really well-kept secret: shops, galleries and bars are springing up like mushrooms. Nevertheless, in Bucharest you can discover the traditional Romania alongside its modern, urban side. To get an idea of how much variety Bucharest can offer, visit the Obor market where you'll find the simple things of life, and compare with a visit to the second biggest building in the world, Ceauşescu's enormous parliamentary palace.

The lights are on
When you think of stealth games in 1998, it's understandable if the first title that comes to mind is Metal Gear Solid. That said, another well-received stealth game released less than a week before it. Activision published Tenchu: Stealth Assassins on August 31, 1998, and it allowed gamers to take out enemies with a variety of ninja tricks.
How does the stealth action hold up 16 years later? Watch below to see Andrew Reiner, Joe Juba, and myself test out our sneaking skills.
