Recommended but not as highly as The Sparrow....,
By Laura Segala (MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
I couldn't wait to read Children of God after finishing The Sparrow (which I loved, by the way). However, I was disappointed in the sequel, which I found more confusing and less enthralling than the original. There were too many characters, so that none of them seemed as fully developed as the characters in the first novel. After awhile I was getting the various aliens mixed up with one another. I almost needed to take notes to keep them all straight! And although the 2nd book explains some of the events from the 1st book, at least one mystery remains unsolved - e.g. what DID happen to the party from the Contact Consortium (the guys who found Emilio Sandoz on Rakhat, returned him to Earth on his asteroid, and then disappeared)? That seemed like a real omission to me. Still, I think that if you enjoyed The Sparrow, you HAVE to read the sequel, simply because things were not always what they seemed in the first book, there is at least one really nice surprise, and Children of God fills in many of the missing pieces.

Such a BIG story . . . .,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
I just finished reading this book for the second time, and I'm wowed (re-wowed)! For me, it took two readings (two years apart) to fully appreciate this story. It involves peoples and individuals with a long memory of injustice and cruelties that govern their present relationships with bitterness, remorse, rage, fear, longings for peace, longings for revenge, and longing for the assurance of safety. I was reminded Israel and Palestine as I read it, but another reviewer thought of the American Indians, and the wonderful thing about science fiction is that it can be about any or all of our own stories. Russell delves compassionately into the personal stories of individuals caught in various sides of the "big picture." The first three-quarters of the book is build-up, background to the coming event--the return of humans to Rakhat. Anyone who has read "The Sparrow" will know that this encounter cannot possibly go as planned--and in fact, much of this background is to show how Rakhat has changed in response to its earlier contact with humans--changed in ways that the approaching travellers cannot imagine or be prepared for. Personally, I found the build-up more absorbing than the last quarter of the book, which contains the long-anticipated outcomes that were almost unbearable to face (although ultimately satisfying).

The Sparrow has landed...,
By FrKurt Messick "FrKurt Messick" (Bloomington, IN USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
The book 'Children of God' is the sequel to Mary Doria Russell's award winning first novel, 'The Sparrow'. In this we take up once again with Father Emilio Sandoz, the only survivor of a doomed expedition to a nearby planet, set in the not-to-distant future. (Please see reviews of 'The Sparrow' for a little more detail about that.)
Most of the characters from the first novel have died (in this novel we discover how a few of the missing people from the first expedition met their fates), and due to the effects of near-light-speed travel, many decades have passed on earth while Father Emilio is still relatively young. There are political crises on earth, including a crisis in the church, and there seems to be an urgent need for yet another expedition to Rakhat. In the interim, there have been several attempted journeys, all of which have failed. The church hierarchy decides that the only 'successful' trip was that of Father Emilio, and thus decides (largely without his consent) to send him off again. At the same time, Rakhat has undergone a dramatic change, brought about in part by the arrival of the strangers, but also due to the political schemings of members of the dominant race, the Jana'ata. The Runa, always larger in population, begin to realise their oppressive situation, aided by renegade Jana'ata, and a civil war breaks loose. Into this situation the human expedition re-enters the scene on Rakhat. This story completes many of the unfinished details from 'The Sparrow'. By filling in the blanks while also carrying the narrative forward, Russell's rather dark picture of the nature of God in the universe (as enacted by the creatures on earth and elsewhere) becomes a little lighter, a little more just, a little less doomed. There is, however, no answer to the personal injustices, to Father Emilio's abuse both at the hands of the Jana'ata and the Jesuit order. Russell's development of the characters, both human and alien, deepens and broadens in this second novel; her imaginative history of the alien cultures is quite stunning, and her treatment of the strengths and weakness in human character insightful. Read 'The Sparrow' and 'Children of God' back-to-back if at all possible.

The Means to Effect Change,
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
After reading just two of Ms. Russell's books, I'm a confirmed fan, and hope she writes many more. This book is a direct sequel to The Sparrow, and while there is some explanatory material about the events in The Sparrow in this book, I'm afraid someone who hasn't read the earlier book will feel a little lost, and will definitely not be able to appreciate the full power of this book.
Once more I found myself irresistibly drawn to Ms. Russell's full-bodied characters. Emilio Sandoz, the Jesuit priest who has been through a myriad number of events that would test anyone's faith, in this book begins to find a way to believe that life is still worth living, that he can still be of benefit to the people around him. Sophia Mendez, the quiet, withdrawn, abused, and highly intellectual lady finds a reason to return to the faith of her parents when she finds herself marooned on Rakhat, surrounded by enslaved Runa. New characters of Giardano Bruno and his bodyguard Nico prove that Russell can portray many kinds of people in a very believable manner. Perhaps the reason these characters are so fascinating is that each of them has their own outlook on life, their own problems, their own ways of coping with life's vagaries. When placed within the Runa/ Jana'Ata society, each person's attempts to influence that society becomes magnified, each action leading to consequences both foreseen and totally unexpected. Which brings to the fore the focus of this book, which is much more about cross-cultural relations and impacts than religion, though the original questions of The Sparrow are not slighted here. Within the events that humans arrival on Rakhat have provoked, there is a deep delving into the ethics of the 'the end justifies the means', played on a canvas where a species survival is the end stake. There are some areas where I was not quite as pleased. The characterization of the aliens was just a little too human, even though such characterization does much to highlight the fact that the ethical problems of this book apply just as equally here on Earth. In some ways, the cultural parallels between the Jana'Ata and the American Indians were just a little too obvious. And once again, the story is not told in a totally linear fashion, with occasional flash-forwards to various later periods that then fill in the back-story of the history of the world after the main events of the book. While this type of structure worked very well in The Sparrow, here I thought it led to a little disjointedness to the story continuity and too much a lessening of suspense. Once again, there are some aspects of the portrayed science here that do not ring true. These are all minor quibbles, not seriously hurting the engrossing wholeness, the feeling of not only that this is how it could be, but the why of seemingly random and sometimes-cruel events. There are very few works that approach these two books in terms of thematic depth and both intellectual and emotional reader involvement. Nominated for the 1999 Hugo Award, this book fully deserved that honor. --- Reviewed by Patrick Shepherd (hyperpat)

A masterpiece of religious sf,
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
I know that many people consider _Children of God_ to be inferior to _Sparrow_, and certainly _Sparrow_ has a certain existential sincerity that few other sf novels posess. But on the whole I find the sequel even better than its predecessor. In particular, Russell's depiction of the alien society of the Jana'ata is much richer and more interesting than that found in _Sparrow_. In the first novel, the Jana'ata were monsters; here they come across as real people (albeit with a tail and claws) who have built a beautiful though profoundly sick civilization. The Jana'ata characters are arguably even better drawn than the humans--at least by the end of the novel the characters with whom I most identified were Jana'ata. And the dilemma of how to deal with a civilization guilty of great atrocities (without committing even greater atrocities in one's zeal for vengeance) is presented here more powerfully than anywhere else I know.
Some readers criticize the means by which Sandoz gets back to Rakhat. Yet in a way this underlines the profound moral ambiguity of the novels. The Pope and the General of the Jesuit order are presented as thoroughly good (even, in the case of the Pope, holy) people. Yet they violate Sandoz's free will in a high-handed, almost brutal way. And this violation is itself portrayed as the divinely ordained means by which Sandoz's wounds, and those of the planet Rakhat, may be healed. I understand those readers who find this contrived and unconvincing. Myself, I think it rings true with reality. By the end of the novel one cannot but think of Frodo's lament at the end of Lord of the Rings (I paraphrase); "I have saved the Shire, Sam, but not for me. Some must give things up, lose them, so that others may keep them." The religious revelation with which the novel ends may likewise be unconvincing to some readers. But Russell has built the possibility of such a reaction into the story itself. My own reaction was to sob almost uncontrollably with heart-broken joy, not only the first time I read the ending but the second and (if memory serves) the third as well. But then, I respond to that sort of thing.

All God's Children,
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
Children of God continues the saga of Father Emilio Sandoz as he struggles to conquer the demons that torture and haunt him following his first trip to Rakhat. When he seemingly finds happiness and a measure of peace of mind, he is brutally snatched up against his will and returned to the scene of former heinous acts. Plunged once more into a sea of betrayal by those he trusted most, Sandoz once again finds himself in an abyss of physical and spiritual despair as he soars again through time and space to another adventure among an alien world.
Rakhat, however, is not so alien this time, regardless of the terrors its memory conjures up, and as Sandoz is reunited with Sophia Mendes, he learns acceptance and resolution for himself. In the process of absorbing the changes that have occurred in his absence of forty years, he learns that forgiveness is indeed within his reach as well as absolution for the sins he blames himself for. In addition to Sandoz's story, the changing social history of Rakhat and its peoples is interesting and exciting as it presents a drastic and violent change in philosophy and ethics. New characters step into strong roles that catch our imagination and spark empathy with both sides. All in all, Children of God is an excellent sequel to The Sparrow, although it still calls for more when it ends. Again, Mary Doria Russell has woven a spell of magic and wonder worthy of ancient and modern spiritual thought as she has raised the consciousness of all her readers about their own spiritual health and well being.

Wonderful, But Not Quite the Poetry of The Sparrow,
By Oddsfish (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
Children of God by Mary Doria Russell is a magnificent book. It offers extremely satisfying science fiction, and it provides meaningful insight on man's relationship with God, asking tough questions about our relationsip with God and in the end offering great hope.
This does continue the story of The Sparrow which needed to be done. In Children of God, Emilio Sandoz leaves the priesthood and falls in love. Nevertheless, he still somehow ends up traveling back to Rakhat to face the terrible things that happened to him there. This novel doesn't just focus on Emilio as The Sparrow did, though. Children of God is much more plot oriented than The Sparrow. This novel uses a much wider panorama of characters, including extensive omniscient sections dealing with new inhabitants on Rakhat and with new members of this expeditions to Rakhat. Children of God is not quite as good as The Sparrow mainly because it is so focused on the plot. In The Sparrow, Russell's primary focus was to deal with the great dilemma that Emilio is facing, his struggle to love a God who allows him to go through such pain. The Sparrow is written to a thesis which ever word of the novel builds towards. Children of God isn't so tightly focused. Excess pages and chapters are here which focus on less meaningful conflicts and characters and which don't always serve enlighten the reader. The book is still an amazingly compelling read, but it is slightly overlong. Children of God does have some amazing strengths, though. Russell is still examining humankind's relationship to God, here presented with much more of a Jewish view of God than the Christian view. Russell is still dealing with the problem of pain, still asking why it is man must suffer so much in this world. In Children of God, Russell delivers an amazing message of hope to man. We may not always understand God's poetry. In our lifetimes, we may not see any reason or our pain, but that doesn't mean God is not there loving us and injecting great meaning into our lives through pain. Children of God is a fabulous read and is very enlightening. By itself, it is not as good as The Sparrow, but together, the two novels make up some of the greatest literature I have ever read.

Wonderfully moving and worthy sequel,
By Mrs. Donihue (Clear Lake Riviera, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
"Children of God," equally worthy sequal to Mary Doria Russell's "The Sparrow," picks up where the earlier volume left off, with Father Emilio Sandoz confronting what happened to him during a doomed Jesuit expedition to the planet Rakhat. Sandoz, bitter, his faith in God challenged, seeks to leave the Society of Jesus.
Like "The Sparrow," the plot unfolds from two perspectives: On Earth, the Pope and the society's Father General have plans of their owns for a commercial mission to Rakhat. Sandoz refuses to be a part of these plans, leading to a thorny moral dilemma for the mission's advocates. And on the planet Rakhat, the missionaries' inadvertant overthrow of the Jana'ata's carefully controlled breeding of the Runa leads to chaotic upheavals in the planet's social structure. The inability of Earth's and Rakhat's people to interpret context as well as language are the catalyst for the personal and large-scale upheavals that these two books chronicle. Much that Sandoz suffers in "The Sparrow" is due to his host, Suparri va Gayjur's misunderstanding. While Suparri's treatment of Sandoz seems like a betrayal in "The Sparrow," we learn in "Children of God" that he actually had good intentions for what he did based upon his understanding at the time. Both books are wonderful examples of the use of fiction to present a sensitive and intelligent discussion of religious issues. Deeply moving and lyrical, the books are wonderful works of literature as well as outstanding representatives of what can be accomplished within the science fiction genre.

Almost a Masterpiece,
By Deidre (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
"Children of God" is an excellent read; it carries the attention of the reader from page one to page 400. Mary Doria Russel is truly an inspired authoress. Although, Russel's first book, "The Sparrow" is truly the masterpiece, "Children of God" comes in a close second. If you want the answers to the questions that Russel ingrains in your mind after reading "The Sparrow", than you should read the sequel. I must warn you however that when you read "Children of God", it in a way ruins the experience of "The Sparrow". How so, you might ask? Well, at the conclusion of "The Sparrow", Russel leaves you with so many thoughts and questions which to a certain degree should remain unanswerable. However, if you don't read the sequel, than you will always wonder what happens. Her characterization is excellent. She breathes so much life into each of her characters. It feels as if you really know them. While the characters were not as well rounded out as they were in her previous novel, they were still the kind that you love or hate, or feel empathy or apathy for. And to all those people out there who love a story of the underdog, this story is for you. The Runao (an alien species) win their coveted freedom against all the odds and years of subjugation. To what extent does this freedom come though? A person has to wonder in what ways did the Jesuit mission affect the planet? The consequences of their actions and how they changed the inhabitants of the planet were both positive and negative. It has always been something that I have disagreed with: the belief of the Catholic church and it's missionaries, that all living beings should be converted to catholocism. The questions which are eventually answered, mainly revolve around one central issue: is it possible for God, to love another species? Or is there room for only one group of his "children"? Mary Doria Russel is an expert writer. She has weaved Fiction with Science Fiction to the point where you cannot even discern the difference. The ultimate question is given the ultimate answer: We are all children of God.

Perhaps I missed something but I feel the sequel was lacking,
This review is from: Children of God (Paperback)
I was pretty disappointed by this book. I had just finished "The Sparrow" and was pleased to know that the story would go on. Unfortunately, my first feeling was that the set-ups were contrived, and then found that the fact that they did not turn out as expected even more contrived. It was as if it seemed too obvious and had to be changed last moment. The story also did not pick up on the same intricate character dimensions of the original, and seemed more an ordinary Sci-fi book. Although the author has an amazing talent for bringing her knowledge of paleo-anthropology into the story, and personally, I must say I did enjoy the cultural nuances and norms of the people of Rhakat, it appears that the effort to make this book as exceptional as the original was lost or edited out. I found the final confrontation between Anne and Emilio deflating and disappointing, and the character of Isaac spurious and really, pretty useless. But then again, maybe I did miss something.

13-Year-Old Uses Fibonacci Sequence For Solar Power Breakthrough
Re:Voltage != Power (410 comments)
Many issues here: (1) - Voltage is the wrong variable to measure. Energy is more relevant. He could have charged some rechargeable batteries and see how long they lasted latter with constant load. (2) - The flat array "control", is not built in one plane facing the sun like the commercial ones. It has actually half of the cells in a second plane facing opposite the sun. (3) - The setup is near a house wall, with the tree neared and the flat array farther, and also partly in the shade, reflected light may also confuse results. The panels should be in more controlled insolation conditions for a fair comparison. If the kid had taken 10 minutes to talk to someone who understands solar cells this disaster would have been averted. Doing bad science should not be encouraged !

First stop: Iceland. Here grossly inexperienced Icelandic bankers caused three of their global banks to collapse, leaving the nation with debts amounting to 850 percent of their gross domestic product. Iceland's principal distinction today, says Lewis, is that it's now "the only nation on earth that Americans could point to and say, 'Well, at least we didn't do that.' "
Next stop is Greece – a nation saddled with an outstanding government debt of "roughly $400 billion (and growing)." How did it happen? When they thought no one was looking, explains Lewis, Greeks hoped to "turn their government into a piñata stuffed with fantastic sums and give as many citizens as possible a whack at it."
In Ireland a single bank lost $3.4 trillion, largely on bad property deals. This mess, says Lewis, "was created by the sort of men who ignore their wives' suggestions that maybe they should stop and ask for directions, for instance." (Among other indelible images from Ireland: a brand-new, abandoned village in the middle of a rain-swept former potato field. Apparently no one bothered to ascertain before building it whether or not anyone would want to live in it.)
The story Lewis follows in Germany is different in that – rather than greed or out-and-out incompetence – the Germans seem to have been guilty of massive credulity. Because German bankers tend to play by the rules, says Lewis, they couldn't comprehend that American bankers often do not. So when "extremely smart traders inside Wall Street investment banks" created "diabolically complicated bets" and then went in search of "some idiot" to "take the other side," it turned out that "a wildly disproportionate number of those idiots were in Germany."

The connective tissue covers all the internal structures of the penis. The damage to it can occur at any point, although it's more likely where structures have natural gaps.
It could just be a bruise. Or a discoloration could be a fungus too, but fungus doesn't sound as likely in your situation.
Because of the uniqueness of the penis's structure, healing may require weeks or months, if it occurs at all. It's exceptionally difficult to predict, which is why an examination by a urologist can be helpful in at least identifying the kinds of injury that may have occurred and what to expect.View Thread
You can tear the connective tissue that attaches the head of your penis to the shaft. Bruising would tend to indicate a tear. This may change the visual appearance of the structure of your penis. It is not likely to go back to the way it was if you created such a tear from rough handling, and this will be the new sculptural shape you have. This doesn't mean it's a problem, but it is altered.

Manufacturer's Description
Visit Fischer's Outback 68 Skis page.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
The Fischer Outback 68 Ski leaves groomed trails and set-in tracks behind and prefers to pave its own path through untracked terrain. Its OffTrack Crown technology provides reliable climbing, while the Outback's Nordic Rocker profile makes it easy to turn downhill and easy to float in anything from smooth, soft snow to ankle-deep powder. A fiberglass wood core with integrated air channels saves weight, resists breaking, and distributes pressure evenly while sandwich cap construction makes the Outback lightweight and durable. Fischer's proprietary OffTrack Crown pattern (a molded, positive-kick pattern inserted into the ski's midsection) gives you waxless kick with exceptional uphill grip, kick, and glide while narrow steel edges along the length of the ski guarantee constant edge contact on every surface.
- Backcountry.com
These backcountry skis are made for the adventurous skier who wants to break his own trail. They're excellent for daylong backcountry tours or for multiday winter backpacking trips. Full metal edges allow outstanding control on descents. Mid-length design provides more control and better maneuverability. The Offtrack Crown base is the latest in waxless technology. It features a progressive depth pattern for more gripping surface area underfoot and transitions to less depth at the end of the pattern for better glide. Nordic Rocker camber keeps the tip of the ski up for better float and glide. Air Channeled wood core is superlight and durable. Imported.
- L.L.Bean
With stable steel metal edges to lead skiers safely through variable terrain far from any tracks or trails, the Fischer Outback 68 skis know no boundaries.
When you're out in the backcountry where there are no paths or borders, you need the powder-floating, easy-turning Outback 68 Ski from Fischer Skis. Based on their offtrack cruising ski line, these skis get lighter without reducing strength with an Air Channel Core - a hollowed out combination of wood and fiberglass. Meanwhile, a Sintec base with a grippy positive pattern takes the struggle out of your ascents. Does not include bindings.

Douglas County commissioners aiming for less spending and a flat mill levy
June 24, 2009
Less spending and a flat mill levy compared with last year.
That's where the Douglas County Commission will start its 2010 budget discussions next week.
However, amid all the economic doom and gloom, county leaders say several cost-saving measures during the last few months have taken some tough decisions — like several employee layoffs — out of play.
"We've had some good things happen, and frankly, we saw this coming," County Administrator Craig Weinaug said Wednesday morning.
One major way the county has saved money is by offering an early retirement incentive last year to 16 longtime employees. Those positions were either not filled or replaced with employees with less seniority and smaller salaries. The county had also frozen merit raises for the year, although Weinaug included a 1 percent cost-of-living adjustment for employees in his recommended budget.
Given those measures, commissioners will still have plenty of decisions to make when they begin meeting with department and agency leaders on Monday.
The recession has hit property values in the county hard, which is the main source of revenue for local governments. The county's valuation is 1.3 percent lower than last year, meaning that to keep property taxes from going up, cuts will be in the picture.
Historically, Douglas County's valuation increased 3 to 4 percent per year. County leaders expect even a bigger drop in property values for next year's budget before a possible turnaround.
"I'm encouraging them to keep the mill levy level because next year is going to be more difficult," Weinaug said.
A mill is $1 in taxes for every $1,000 of assessed valuation. In the county 1 mill would produce $1.1 million in revenue.
A major issue for Commissioners Nancy Thellman, Jim Flory and Mike Gaughan, as they work to finalize their budget, will be funding for social service agencies.
Currently, the 2010 budget proposal includes a 3 percent cut across the board for agencies from the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center to Douglas County Senior Services to the county extension office.
Commissioners have budget hearings scheduled from 8 a.m. to noon Monday and Tuesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

Exploring Samba's new registry-based configuration
With Samba 3.2 and newer, the administrator can choose between traditional text-based configuration and the new registry configuration that brings many new features and opens up many new options. Even though the configuration is stored in a database, net conf lets you manage the configuration easily. This feature is extremely convenient in clustered environments with CTDB. The new configuration system also allows for remote configuration of Samba servers.
With additional work, it will be possible to create dedicated Samba configuration tools for Windows that use the remote registry interface. Then a Windows admin could configure samba servers without learning too much about the underlying Unix systems. At that stage, you might wonder whether you have reached too much interoperability.

Lower the prices on SQL Please
We the undersigned feel like the new price system is a rip off on Sun Quiz Live. It is not all about money or the incentive to win money, it is also about the feel good factor while playing. We didn't mind paying small amounts of cash for hours of entertainment. While we agree the format was not profitable this is the wrong way of going about it, and instead will kill our community of strong regular players and kill the online quiz format all together. We would like things to be returned to how they were please, with one show a week. This will prove more favourable with everyone as some of us can't afford or don't want to pay £15 a show. Yours truly Timraw and the under signed.

ARCHAEOLOGY workshops will take place in Thornton-le-Street next month to give budding archaeologists the chance to boost their skills.
The English Heritage-run session will take place on Saturday, September 20, from 10am to 3pm and is intended to stimulate research into the archaeology of the county.
It will be conducted by Dave MacLeod, operational manager, and Dave Knight, investigator, of the York-based Aerial Investigation and Mapping Section.
Each year, hundreds of previously unknown sites are discovered through the aerial reconnaissance programme and specialist staff identify even more through the analysis of features visible on existing photographs.
The workshop will be a mix of theory and practice.
Numbers are limited so places must be booked in advance for each workshop, at a cost of £20 per person.
Payment should be made out to English Heritage and posted to John Sheehan at 4 Arden Mews, Northallerton, North Yorkshire DL6 1EN.
An additional charge of £2 will be made on the day to cover accommodation and refreshment costs.
For more information phone John Sheehan on 01609 771878, or email email@example.com

We have recently moved into a new house where the front of the house faces north and is covered by full shade. The beds in front of the house were bare so I have a new canvas to start with but the soil is moist and acidic due to the pine trees in the front. What can I plant that will give some color to the front of the house. I have some ferns that I brought from our old house and would like to plant some annuals or perennials that would do well in the soil. Any suggestions? |

COIMBATORE: V Shanmugham and his family don't require an alarm to wake up. Each morning, they are woken up by the chirping sparrows that nest in their house.
A few months ago, Shanmugham, a regional manager in a private company, was given a nest and sparrow food by students of Salim Ali Center for Ornithology and Natural Sciences and Young Indians. These students were conducting an experiment in Ganapathy Ma Nagar to strengthen the sparrow population, which is fast dwindling.
Shanmugham noticed a pair of sparrows nested inside a lamp cover in his garden. The students encouraged him to place the nest closer to his house. "I am happy to help in this cause," he said. Within a few days, he noticed a pair of sparrows in the next. He added another nest, inviting more sparrows. Now he has five to six sparrows that have made their nest in his home. P Gnanasekaran, another resident of Ma Nagar said the more nests he put up at home, more sparrows set up home there.
Joseph Reginald, research scholar at SACON involved in the project said that ever since the project was initiated there is considerable increase in the sparrow population in the area.
"During our study, we found 15 locations where sparrows thrive. Ganpathy Ma Nagar and Walayar were selected for this project which started in August, with 90 nests placed in various areas. At least 300 sparrows were identified in Ganapathy Ma Nagar, which is the highest congregation in the city. About 70% of the nests placed in other areas have been occupied by the birds, indicating that nesting has helped improve breeding potential in the region," said Reginald.
Rapid urbanisation and increasing pollution is spelling doom for the small sparrow, which was earlier found in large numbers in the city. "Sparrows have been dwindling mainly due to lack of food and nesting sites. Modern buildings do not provide crevices and nooks for them to nest. Also, sparrow fledglings feed exclusively on insects for the first 15 days," he said.
The insect population is on the decline due to lack of native plants and other vegetation in urban areas, he added. Conservation in India is happening in isolation. There is a need to involve the common man. "Distributing bird feeders will directly leave conservation efforts in the hands of the people," Reginald added.

Skiing (Canadian Tourism Commission photo)
More than half of British Columbia's major resorts are located in the Kootenay Rockies region.
The terrain here is dominated by amazing mountain ranges – the Monashees, Purcells, Selkirks and Rockies – and up to 14m/46ft of light, dry powder falls each year.
Resorts in the Kootenay Rockies feature uncrowded slopes, short lift lines and laid-back, friendly atmospheres. And their proximity to one another allows skiers and boarders to sample multiple resorts along the "Powder Highway" during a single visit.
There are also number of smaller, family friendly hills in the region.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort is BC's newest ski resort and it has the longest lift-serviced vertical in North America: 1,713m/5,620ft.

High in the Rocky Mountains, Fernie Alpine Resort offers the greatest vertical (1,082m/3,550ft) and the most runs in the Canadian Rockies with the opening of the Polar Peak Chairlift in the 2011/12 season. The powder is deep and dry with over 11m/36ft falling annually. Fernie was among National Geographic's Best Winter Trips 2012.
In Nelson, Whitewater Ski Resort is perfect for powderhounds and backcountry skiing enthusiasts; up to 12m/39ft of dry, light snow falls annually. Whitewater is also known for its award-winning Fresh Tracks Cafe, 2nd in the 10 Best Ski-Resort Cafeterias in SKI Magazine 2011.
Red Mountain Resort recently added a brand new lift-serviced peak, expanding its terrain by an impressive 405ha/1000ac. This local favourite boasts uncrowded slopes, gladed tree skiing, incredible steeps and powder-filled bowls. In 2010, Ski Canada Magazine recognized Red as having the Most Consistent Fall-line Steeps.

Anyone try these patio heaters?. I like the way they look, but I want effective heat, not just looks. Do they work well for heat and heat down to the ground? I'd like to be able to sit in a chaise lounge on a very cool evening and feel the heat. Some patio heaters concentrate the heat form about 5 feet to 8 feet above the ground, so they mostly heat your head if you are standing up next to them. I've seen them in restaurants, but they have multiple going at the same time to heat an area. I wonder how effective one single heater would be. |

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it. | 1 "Make an altar of acacia wood for burning incense. |
2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it. | 2 It is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high--its horns of one piece with it. |
3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about. | 3 Overlay the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it. |
4 And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof; upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves wherewith to bear it. | 4 Make two gold rings for the altar below the molding--two on opposite sides--to hold the poles used to carry it. |
5 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. | 5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. |
6 And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. | 6 Put the altar in front of the curtain that is before the ark of the Testimony--before the atonement cover that is over the Testimony--where I will meet with you. |
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it. | 7 "Aaron must burn fragrant incense on the altar every morning when he tends the lamps. |
8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations. | 8 He must burn incense again when he lights the lamps at twilight so incense will burn regularly before the LORD for the generations to come. |
9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon. | 9 Do not offer on this altar any other incense or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it. |
10 And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto Jehovah. | 10 Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering for the generations to come. It is most holy to the LORD." |
11 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | 11 Then the LORD said to Moses, |
12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to those that are numbered of them, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto Jehovah, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them. | 12 "When you take a census of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the LORD a ransom for his life at the time he is counted. Then no plague will come on them when you number them. |
13 This they shall give, every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Jehovah. | 13 Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD. |
14 Every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of Jehovah. | 14 All who cross over, those twenty years old or more, are to give an offering to the LORD. |
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls. | 15 The rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less when you make the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives. |
16 And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls. | 16 Receive the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. It will be a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD, making atonement for your lives." |
17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | 17 Then the LORD said to Moses, |
18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash. And thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein. | 18 "Make a bronze basin, with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it. |
19 And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: | 19 Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet with water from it. |
20 when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. | 20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die. Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting an offering made to the LORD by fire, |
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations. | 21 they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come." |
22 Moreover Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | 22 Then the LORD said to Moses, |
23 Take thou also unto thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty, | 23 "Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane, |
24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin. | 24 500 shekels of cassia--all according to the sanctuary shekel--and a hin of olive oil. |
25 And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil. | 25 Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil. |
26 And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, | 26 Then use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony, |
27 and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense, | 27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense, |
28 and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof. | 28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. |
29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. | 29 You shall consecrate them so they will be most holy, and whatever touches them will be holy. |
30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office. | 30 "Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as priests. |
31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations. | 31 Say to the Israelites, 'This is to be my sacred anointing oil for the generations to come. |
32 Upon the flesh of man shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof: it is holy, [and] it shall be holy unto you. | 32 Do not pour it on men's bodies and do not make any oil with the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred. |
33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people. | 33 Whoever makes perfume like it and whoever puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off from his people.' " |
34 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight; | 34 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take fragrant spices--gum resin, onycha and galbanum--and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts, |
35 and thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure [and] holy: | 35 and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer. It is to be salted and pure and sacred. |
36 and thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy. | 36 Grind some of it to powder and place it in front of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you. |
37 And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves: it shall be unto thee holy for Jehovah. | 37 Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy to the LORD. |
38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people. | 38 Whoever makes any like it to enjoy its fragrance must be cut off from his people." |

"One of the most important elements in wealthy metro areas is high education levels," says Elizabeth Kneebone, a fellow at the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program. "A high share of the residents tend to have a bachelor's degree or higher."
What communities are likely to feel the effects of the higher taxes the most?
1. Silicon Valley
The nation's richest metro area, measured by percentage of filers who report more than $100,000 of income, is the San Jose, Calif., metro area. Some 25.5 percent of the 763,916 tax filers crossed the $100,000 threshold in 2010. "Silicon Valley has a high concentration of high skilled employment and human capital," says Ms. Kneebone.
2. Washington
The nation's second richest area is the nation's capital and its suburbs. The Washington metro area – including northern Virginia and southern Maryland – is filled with lawyers, lobbyists and men and women with advanced degrees. According to Brookings, 24 percent of households reported income of at least $100,000.
In terms of raw numbers, the Washington area's 600,945 rich households comes second only to the New York Metro area, though New York – despite its nearly 1.4 million households making more than $100,000 – comes in 14th by percentage of filers.
