School conjuration (summoning); Level magus 4, sorcerer/wizard 4, summoner 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, F (a masterwork piercing or slashing weapon)
Range 30 ft.
Area 30-ft. radius emanation centered on you
Duration 1 round/level (D); see text
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
Using a slashing motion with the spell's focus as part of the casting of shadow invasion, you cut open a rift to the Plane of Shadow that fills a 30-foot area with shadowy energies. This area is stationary and becomes dark and gloomy, reducing the light level by one step (as darkness). Certain spells are enhanced within the area; spells of the shadow subschool that have reduced effects when disbelieved (such as shadow evocation) have their reduced effects increased by 20% (to a maximum of 90%) when determining their effects on targets within the area of shadow invasion.
In addition, the rift created by shadow invasion has a chance of attracting attention from the other side, and the spell can be inverted to bring these watchers through. When shadow invasion is dismissed as a standard action, there is a chance that a single evangelist kyton will be summoned under the caster's command (as per summon monster V). This chance is 5% for every full round that shadow invasion was active. If the caster level of shadow invasion is 16th or greater, this effect summons an interlocutor kyton instead. A kyton summoned this way remains for a number of rounds equal to what the remaining duration of shadow invasion would have been had it not been dismissed. Successfully summoning a kyton this way is a lawful and evil act, as though casting a spell with the lawful and evil descriptors.

PARIS — When German officials said they would save the euro zone at all costs, the prospect of bailing out Russian oligarchs was not what they had in mind.
But eight months before a crucial election in Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel is facing charges that Europe is doing just that as the tiny island of Cyprus, a haven for Russian cash, threatens to become the next point of contention in the euro crisis.
In recent days, Germany has signaled that it is reluctantly edging toward a bailout for Cyprus, after lifelines have been extended to Greece, Ireland and Portugal to prevent potentially calamitous defaults. While Cyprus makes up just a sliver of the euro zone economy, it is proving to be a first-rate political headache.
"I don't think that Germany has ever in the history of the euro zone crisis left itself so little wiggle room," said Nicholas Spiro, the managing director of Spiro Sovereign Strategy in London. "But Germany wants the euro to succeed and survive, and they are saying we can't afford a Cyprus bankruptcy."
But giving a bailout to Cyprus is trickier than it seems. Cyprus's politicians would prefer not to take European money, which comes with the harsh austerity conditions that have spread misery in Greece. And they can argue that Cyprus was doing relatively well until Greece's second bailout, when Greek government bonds — of which Cypriot banks held piles — lost considerable value.
The question of keeping the euro together had seemed to be conveniently fading for Ms. Merkel, who in the fall put her full backing behind the euro zone, quieting fears of a breakup. But Berlin seems to have been caught off guard by the political tempest stirred up by Cyprus, which has been shut out of international bond markets for a year but has been kept afloat by a $3.5 billion loan from the Russian government.
With that money running out, Germany and its European partners have been locked in a fierce debate over whether and how to throw Cyprus a lifeline. The problem is, most of the money lost by Cypriot banks was Russian, and the worry is that most of the bailout money could wind up in the hands of Russian oligarchs and gangsters. That fear, backed by a recent report by German intelligence, has stoked a furor even among some of Ms. Merkel's political partners. "I do not want to vouch for black Russian money," Volker Kauder, a prominent member of her conservative bloc, said recently.
The Russian presence is thick on Cyprus, a picturesque Mediterranean island and a onetime British colony. The bustling, large city of Limassol has an enclave of restaurants, shops and fur boutiques so packed with Russians that locals call it "Limassolgrad."
Officials in Cyprus say there is no proof that the Russian cash in its banks is of dubious origin, and they insist that they cracked down on money laundering before joining the European Union. The officials point to an evaluation by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development showing that Cyprus is compliant with more than 40 directives against money laundering.
While any lifeline for Cyprus would be small — about $22 billion compared with about $327 billion for Greece — the quandary has reverberated in Europe's halls of power, and especially in Berlin, which appears to have been backed into a corner by Ms. Merkel's commitment to keep the euro zone together no matter what.
The outspoken German finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, recently cast doubt on whether Cyprus should even be considered for a bailout, given its small size and the stark reality that it is not nearly as vital to the euro's existence as the larger economies of Spain or Italy. His blunt assessment reportedly drew an admonishment from Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, which has spent hundreds of billions of euros on a program intended to discourage financial market speculators from attacking euro zone countries.
"We have reached a point of relative stability in the euro zone crisis, so letting Cyprus go could stir up the waters again and trigger another wave of speculation," said Hubert Faustmann, an associate professor of history and political science at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus.
With Russia refusing to provide any further financing unless the so-called troika of creditors — the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission — provides most of the bailout, the Cypriot government has few options. It signed a memorandum of understanding in November with the troika, setting off a wave of austerity measures that are already starting to hit the enfeebled Cypriot economy.
The salaries of public sector workers have since been slashed by up to 15 percent, state pensions are to be cut by up to 10 percent and the value-added tax is set to rise. "The island has been hard hit, and there is an atmosphere of fear," Mr. Faustmann said. "People are not sure if they will keep their jobs, and if they do, how long they will have them."
Mr. Faustmann estimated that it would take at least a half-decade for the Cypriot economy to recover — assuming that the conditions required by Germany and the troika do not send Russian money fleeing from the banks. "If that happens," he said, "then Cyprus is dead."

Best of Silicon Valley 2006
Best of Sunnyvale
Best Place to Meet
The Neighbors
The San Francisco Bay Trail. Sunnyvale Baylands Park, 999 E. Caribbean Dr., Sunnyvale. It takes a certain moxie to build a dirt road alongside piles of sewage, trash and mud and call it a scenic hiking trail. But it takes vision, skill and a playful sense of irony to combine them in such a way that it has become a great place to get out and see your neighbors enjoying the scenery. That what visitors to Sunnyvale's San Francisco Bay Trail Connection will find. The trailhead, located next to the city's sewer treatment plant, is playfully flanked by a drinking fountain daring hikers to try it and a self-contained Porta Potty pungently advocating on behalf of the treatment plant. A 2.5-mile walk takes visitors past a giant landfill that resembles a Mayan temple under a stop work order, along swampy fields of gently swaying cattails ending at the softball complex Twin Creeks and Sunnyvale's Baylands Park. Another trail heads up atop adjoining levees from which you can look down into a giant vat of sludge endlessly churning like some macabre Stephen King merry-go-round. What these trails have in common is a stunning and rare panorama of a (mostly) unobstructed, undeveloped, undisturbed essence of nature that is marginalized into urban mythology in the concrete jungle of the South Bay.
Best Taste of Days Gone By
C.J. Olson Cherries. 348 W. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale 800.738.BING. If Silicon Valley were still covered with fruit orchards like it was 75 years ago, chances are few of us would live here. I mean, where would you work? The fruit packing shed or the orchard? Progress meant plowing under the fertile orchards in favor of housing and new businesses. The days of the Valley of Heart's Delight are all but gone, but you can still get a taste of what it was like at Sunnyvale's iconic C.J. Olson fruit stand on El Camino Real. While not all the cherries they sell are grown in Sunnyvale anymore, the Bings and Rainiers are juicy and sweet. During the off-season, check out the dried fruit (cherries, apricots, figs and dates), nuts, chocolates, jam, honey and other incredible edibles.

Best Growing Concern
Charles Street Community Gardens. 505 W. Olive St., Sunnyvale 408.735.8154. Sunnyvale finally has a community garden it can call its own. After years of work by master gardener Josh Salans and green-thumbed volunteers, the nonprofit group Sunnyvale Sustainable Gardening entered into a five-year agreement with the city for a community garden on a vacant lot at Charles and Olive streets, city-owned land once slated for City Hall expansion. The garden will offer more than 100 garden plots for Sunnyvale residents. The grand opening of the gardens will be Oct. 1. Dubbed the Charles Street Gardens Fall Harvest Festival, the free community event will include garden tours, vegetable tasting, activities for kids and master garden demonstrations.
Best Place to Drink Sake and Pretend You're in Tokyo
Saizo. 592 E. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale 408.733.7423. If you were a Japanese salaryman (or woman) out for a night of drinking with the boys, you'd head to an izakaya-style restaurant. Part pub, part eatery, izakaya restaurants serve small plates of grilled and fried dishes made to go with sake and beer. While sushi bars and ramen houses in Silicon Valley abound, izakaya restaurants are a rarity. That's why Saizo is such a find. The izakaya menu is divided into grilled and fried items. Prices range from $1.25 to $9.75, so you can order a wide variety of food for little money. Some of the food, such as the beef tripe, eel liver and beef tongue, may put off the less adventurous. If that's you, start with something tamer like the wasabi chicken skewers. While Saizo's specialty is izakaya-style dishes, they do offer noodles, dinner entrees and ochazuke, broth-filled iron pots to which you add various grilled and raw seafood.
Best Sunnyvale Shopping Block
Murphy Avenue. For shopping excitement in Sunnyvale, South Murphy Avenue has it all. The spiritual and geographic center of downtown Sunnyvale, it may be only a single block, but a lot has been packed into its small frame. For more than a decade, Murphy Avenue has hosted a popular farmers market year-round every Saturday. The market features fresh seasonal vegetables, herbs, breads, meats and flowers. Local bands also add musical spice to the lively street scene. In addition to the farmers market, Murphy Avenue's brick and mortar residents also enliven the lifeless atmosphere engulfing the adjacent Sunnyvale Town Center, currently home to an empty husk of a mall that has been awaiting the wrecking ball for more than two years. Murphy Avenue boasts a dozen restaurants cutting a wide cultural swath, two coffeehouses, a bookstore, belly dance supplies, a clothing and jewelry boutique and a host of businesses that have been staples of the street for more than two decades, including Murphy Street Smoke Shop, Thuy Tailor and Cleaners and Paul and Harvey Cocktails.
Best Spot to Find 30 Years' Worth
Of Laughs
Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Club. 157 W. El Camino Real. 408.736.0921. Let's be honest. When it comes to nightlife offerings, Sunnyvale is no Las Vegas. But the city is home to Rooster T. Feathers, one of Silicon Valley's premier comedy clubs. For nearly 30 years, Rooster's has been an important stop on the national comedy circuit. The club has hosted Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres and Drew Carey. Week to week, the El Camino Real club offers standup comedy in an up close and personal setting. For the aspiring Don Rickles, Rooster T. Feathers also offers its "comedy workstation," comedy classes taught by experienced coaches who provide instruction in the comedic arts.
You Chose: Best Mediterranean
Best Middle Eastern Restaurant
Dishdash. 190 S. Murphy Ave., Sunnyvale 408.774.1889. Dishdash won over Metro readers for serving what other Middle Eastern restaurants don't. Drawing on food from the culinarily diverse Middle East, Dishdash goes well beyond the falafels, hummus and kebabs that dominate the menus of most Middle Eastern restaurants. Using recipes gathered from his Palestinian mother, owner Emad Ibrahim has put together a menu that celebrates the glories of his native Palestine and beyond. Lamb dishes are particularly good. Tabsi combines seasoned cubes of ground lamb and beef in a rich, viscous sauce of eggplant, onions, bell peppers and tomatoes enlivened with curry and the unique, salty-sour flavor of dried lime. Sabanech is another winner. It's a meaty, slow-braised lamb shank that could pass for a rustic Italian dish. Dishdash also has a well-chosen wine list, something that distinguishes it from most Middle Eastern restaurants as well.
Lingerie and accessories at Magical Moments.
Best Lingerie
Magical Moments. 136 E. Fremont Ave., Sunnyvale 408.733.1670. Like certain parts of the female anatomy, Magical Moments can be hard to find. But that seems to be by design. The small, intimate shop offers a discreet yet supportive environment for all your libidinous shopping needs. The store's staff prides itself on its knowledgeable customer service. Two of the store's three employees have been there for 15 years or more. Magical Moments, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, offers sexy underwear (including plus sizes), adult DVDs, sex toys, nipple clamps, how-to guides and the bestselling "pearl rabbit" vibrator famously featured in an episode of Sex and the City. Be sure to check out the "Liberator," a ramplike piece of bedroom furniture that's purported to facilitate new sexual positions. It's supposed to make coupling easier for people with bad backs, too. So if your back isn't only thing that's kinky, the Liberator—and Magical Moments—is for you.

nirthpanter.net has been going through some big changes this week and I also want to start writing more. There are more resources to be found now, I want to review more books and also add more things to the RECOMMENDED page in the coming time.
I used to have this page called Hall of Fame where I wrote about people I admired or appreciated. I have still a HALL OF FAME page, but this is now the archive of all live viewer battles done on the nirthpanter YouTube channel. My solution is that I'd like to make a weekly blog post called Feature Friday where I feature 1-3 YouTube creators I think are doing a good job or that has an interesting story behind them. I will start the first article hopefully this coming Friday (16th of February), but I have a lot to do this week at school and so we'll se how that goes.
Next Saturday, February 17, it's my birthday and I'd like to do a longer birthday stream. This will start at 6:00 PM GMT+1 / 12:00 PM EST. I am unsure completely what I'd like to do for this livestream, but I will have a birthday hat on and I'm likely going to do viewer battles.
Have you had a look at the changes on the website this week? @Flipside on Discord helped me out with looking at some details and I appreciate that. I hope you all have had a good weekend.
Thanks for reading,

May 1st in Indonesia is, unlike in most of the World, not an official holiday. This obstacle was turned into a opportunity for a show of strength by the Indonesian worker movement, by carrying a part-journey general strike in order to march through the main cities of the country.
Some half million workers marched in red colors, several times the numbers mobilized in 2012. There is context of growing strikes, including a million people general strike last October, that explains this mass participation.
The mobilizations began in 2011 when 9 miners were shot down within a three month strike in the colonial possession of West Papua, in 2012 the class conflict also flourished in Java, with strikes and road blockades, as well as vigilante pickets that applied popular justice to the most abusive capitalists. Further mobilizations impeded the hike of fuel prices decreed by the government.

Tonight, Good 4 The Soul plays their monthly gig at BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups; Washington University's jazz studies students will perform a free concert to wrap up this semester's Jazz at Holmes series; the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center has a four-band bill topped by the Brazilian punk rock with a bit of jazzy influence" band Lisabi; and the Gaslight Cabaret Festival continues with actress/singer Taylor Pietz performing her show If I Only Had a Brain" at the Gaslight Theater.
Tomorrow night, The Wee Trio, featuring St. Louis native Dan Loomis on bass, returns to Jazz at the Bistro for the first of two nights officially celebrating the live album the group recorded there last year. For more about that, check this interview with Loomis from earlier this year on AllAboutJazz.com, and for some video samples of the Wee Trio in action, see this post from before their visit here last January.
Elsewhere around town, if you were hoping to see singer Storm Large's performance this weekend for the Gaslight Cabaret Festival but don't yet have tickets, you're out of luck, as both nights are sold out. Meanwhile, some spots may remain for the performance by vocal group Take 6 at Washington University Black Alumni Council's 30th anniversary dinner and concert in the Khorassan Ballroom of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel; click the 30th anniversary" link above for details.
There also should be some tickets remaining for MADCO's presentation of Liquid Roads" at the Touhill Performing Arts Center. The modern dance company's latest and largest-ever production will be accompanied by a four-piece live band led by trumpeter Brian Casserly of Cornet Chop Suey, performing original songs and a variety of jazz, blues and gospel favorites. You can see a brief video about the show here, and read a preview story written by Terry Perkins for St. Louis Public Radio here.
And if all that's not enough for one night, there's also singer Joe Mancuso leading a trio at EdgeWild Restaurant & Winery; the St. Louis Big Band at the Casa Loma Ballroom; pianist Carolbeth True and Two Times True at Robbie's House of Jazz; and the Charlie B Jazz'd Trio at Thurman Grill.
On Saturday, the sounds at the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site will range from free improv to ragtime, as the venue hosts two concerts in one day. First up, multi-instrumentalist J.D. Parran returns home to team up with trumpeter George Sams for a matinee that serves as the spring finale for the Nu-Art Series, and then pianist Scott Kirby will take over for an early evening concert presented by the Friends of Scott Joplin.
Also on Saturday, Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center continues their Quiet Concert Series" with more new compositions from Mark Sarich and Greg Farough, as Farough continues his focus on pure waveforms which interact with the natural resonance of rooms to form and slowly transform complex sonic relationships," while Sarich will present a new work utilizing the Schumann Resonance and text of a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke.
Elsewhere on Saturday, pianist Pauline Stark, saxophonist Willie Akins and singer Cici Ranek will perform in the old Just Jazz" space at the Omni Majestic Hotel; guitarist Dave Black and singer Feyza Eren will play at Pomme Café & Wine Bar; the Jim Widner Trio with Jim Manley and Randy Bahr holds forth at the Fox & Hounds Tavern at the Cheshire Inn; and singer Sarah Jane of the Blue Notes, pianist Tim Garcia and saxophonist Jerry Greene are at Robbie's House of Jazz.
On Sunday, Miss Jubilee begins what's projected to be a weekly jazz brunch at Evangeline's; and the Inner Jazz" series at Kirkwood United Church of Christ continues with a free concert from guitarist Rick Haydon's quartet. StLJN also recently has learned that Freddie Washington is now leading a quartet in a weekly Sunday late afternoon session at Toast Time, 12781 New Halls Ferry Rd in Florissant, and no doubt the veteran saxophonist's many fans will welcome the opportunity to hear him regularly for as long as the gig continue.
But the biggest names on Sunday arrive that evening, as guitarist Charlie Hunter and drummer Scott Amendola will be in town to perform a duo show at the Old Rock House. The two last fall released their second album together, Pucker, which focuses mostly on Amendola's compositions. But given Hunter's near-one-man-band capabilities and the inherent flexibility of the duo format, they certainly won't be limited to material from the recording. You can read a review of Pucker and hear a sample track here, and read an interview with Amendola from Modern Drummer magazine, in which he discusses his partnership with Hunter, here.
Looking beyond the weekend, on Monday the Sessions Big Band returns to BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups. Then on Tuesday, Lindy Hop St. Louis's weekly swing dance at the Grandel Theatre will feature live music from Philadelphia's' Perseverance Jazz Band; and Common Time and Jesse Gannon & Truth will perform on a double-bill at Plush.

Thirteen felony convictions ranging from robbery, assault, family violence, and numerous drug offenses meant a 33 year prison sentence for a Brenham man in this week's session of the 21st district court.
Assistant District Attorney Eric Berg says a Washington County jury convicted 29-year old Marco Antonio Moreno of possession of cocaine in a drug free zone on April 30th. He said Moreno sold the cocaine to an undercover officer near the Time Well Spent Day Center on Blue Bell Road on July 6th, 2011.
Berg said the charges were enhanced to a first degree felony due to Moreno's numerous convictions. He said retired District Court Judge Terry Flenniken followed the adage "When a man shows you who he is, believe him."
Berg said Moreno had a criminal history that dated back to his days as a juvenile and never could keep up with his probation requirements.
District Court Judge Reva Towslee-Corbett heard the rest of the cases in Tuesday's court session.
She sentenced 22-year old Keith Justice Clewis of Missouri City in an ongoing scam involving prepaid credit cars sold at Wal Mart. Clewis worked at Wal-Mart, then 'sold' a credit card that could be used anywhere. Clewis never collected the money for Wal-Mart, however. Berg said in effect Clewis just took $800 out of the cash register and gave it away. Judge Corbett sentenced him to three years deferred adjudication, a $1000 fine, and he must perform 120 hours of community service. Several others have been recently convicted of similar scams in Washington County.
Berg says there is promise in one of the defendants who was sentenced in this week's court session. Twenty-six year old David Kent Bergland of Bryan was in a public park after hours when a law enforcement officer approached him. Bergland admitted to the officer that he was in possession of methamphetamines but he didn't want to remain in the drug world. Judge Corbett sentenced him to three years deferred adjudication, ordered him to pay a thousand dollar fine, perform 140 hours of community service, and attend a drug offender education program, along with drug and alcohol evaluation and treatment.
Berg said 32-year old Sara Cantu was working as a cleaning lady for an elderly woman in Brenham. Berg said she not only cleaned her house of litter, she cleaned her out of her debit card and used it several times. She also took a fire arm from the woman. Judge Corbett sentenced Cantu to a year in a state jail.
Berg said 51-year old Terry Wayne Gaines of Brenham 'had some issues' and had been known to brazen use credit and debit cards that were not his. He said Gaines tried to use a debit card that was not his at the Brenham Brookshire Brothers Store in October of 2012. The cashier immediately noticed and Gaines fled the store. Judge Corbett sentenced Gaines to 357 days in a state jail.

The folks of Crafty Wonderland recently invited me (along with about eighty other local artists) to participate their "Pop-Up Shop" that officially opens this Saturday, the 13th of November. The shop is part of a program where the City of Portland fills vacant downtown storefronts during the holidays, promoting commerce and support for local small businesses. In this case, they are effectively also supporting a large number of local artists. Thanks again City of Portland!
A selection of my work can be found at this storefront through the end of December. As usual, I will be posting a selection of my work on Etsy, and my entire collection will be available at the three weekend shows that I will be at this December.

Home economics: Answering your property questions
Advice from our property expert on whether it is worth paying off your mortgage early and on the Nursing Home Support Fair Deal Scheme.
Question: I have recently returned from the UK where I bought a house which is now let. My new job here, although well paying, doesn't have a pension scheme and I consider the house to be part of that plan. I have around €500 per month 'spare' to spend over the next few years and wonder whether it would be better to pay down the mortgage on the rental or put it into a pension? If they are both the same aim, does it matter? I know I get tax relief on the pension, but am concerned returns could be volatile.
Sinead replies: This is always a dilemma and what suits one person will not another. However, you have pinpointed the key benefit pensions have over property — the tax incentives.
There are three:
1 you get full tax relief at your marginal rate on premiums going in;
2 the investment fund itself grows tax free;
3 and there is a tax-free lump sum on the other side.
While many use property as part of their retirement portfolio, Bob Quinn of The Money Advisers says the end game should be based on the most tax-efficient manner available to get there.
"Depending on how you manage your tax affairs on the UK rental, mortgage interest may be off-settable against the rental income thus reducing the mortgage anyway. Is that the best approach?
Pension products can often times come with onerous terms and conditions. It can be difficult to access before age 60, for instance, can lose money if you pursue a high risk investment strategy and can often times be steeped in hidden fees and charges.
If you opt to set up a pension, ask your pension adviser the following: what are the ongoing fund charges? What is the investment strategy?"
My advice is to see a fee-based advisor (i.e. not on commission) to advise across the board. It will be money well spent.
Question: Our father is in an acute hospital but ready for discharge. We've decided a nursing home is the best option as he cannot be cared for at home — our mother passed away some years ago. His house is valued at around €550,000 and he has a pension of some €24,000 p.a. plus the State pension. He also has savings of €80,000. Our query is if he enters the Fair Deal Scheme, and we sell the house, is the money realised 'capped' in the same way as the house would be, i.e. at 7.5pc for three years? If not, how can we protect it?
Sinead replies: The purpose of the Nursing Home Support Fair Deal Scheme is to allow people retain the family home instead of having to sell up to pay for residential care. The 'value' of this asset is capped at a maximum of 22.5pc which can be deferred until after death. If you sell the house, the proceeds are considered 'cash' from which 7.5pc p.a. is payable for life, i.e. not capped.
It is an unfortunate quirk of the scheme and leaves many wealthier families opting to keep the house, even vacant (letting it creates rental income, of which 80pc is taken to contribute to the care), rather than sell, for this very reason. I suspect there are hundreds of such properties around the country, un-rentable and un-saleable, which is a shame.
One option is to avoid Fair Deal, paying privately for the nursing home until savings run out. There is full tax relief at whatever rate your father pays, although with average costs at €1,200 p.w. this is clearly a big decision.
Fair Deal's ideal applicants are those with no assets and little income. It is people like your father who subsidise them. I totally understand your dilemma and suggest you run all the figures before making a decision.
Your pension can be a valuable nest egg due to tax relief
The Ryan review
It's unlike Equality Minister Aodhan O Riordain to be behind the door with announcements, but a discreet tweet as the year turned reminded his followers that "rental ads refusing rent allowance are now illegal".
This is following an amendment to the Employment Equality Bill to stop discrimination against tenants in receipt of rent supplement, adding 'income source' to the nine existing grounds.
Many landlords view these as unattractive tenants, or even troublesome ones, and some go so far as to state on their viewing ads that they are not welcome; others calling letting agencies suddenly find themselves on a dropped line when they mention social welfare.
Naturally, organisations like the Fr Peter McVerry Trust and Focus Ireland have welcomed it, but I know from correspondence to this column that many landlords will be furious.
Those who have had direct, as opposed to anecdotal, experience with bad, non-paying or disruptive tenants will be empathised with, but I wonder how fair it was to tar all social welfare tenants with the same brush?
I also wonder how it will be policed. Some viewings attract 10 or more parties, so weeding out those on social welfare isn't difficult.
If you can turn down someone for lack of reference, or being a student, why not discreetly bat away the rest?

First Lady Urges Businesses to Hire Veterans, Spouses
- Details

- Last Updated: Thursday, 14 March 2013 05:54

Now as hundreds of thousands of veterans and military spouses look for work, she said, one million more will leave the military in the next few years and join the ranks of those seeking jobs.
"They will be trying to figure out how to achieve that sense of financial security and stability for their family, how to find that next mission to accomplish. That's where all of you come in," she added.
"This group of veterans ?- the 9/11 Generation ?- holds a special place in our history. These are the Americans who stepped up and volunteered to serve during wartime, knowing full well they would be sent into harm's way," she said. "They are young -- the majority are between 18 and 34 years old ?- and a record number of them are women."
The members of the 9/11 generation, she said, are highly skilled, serving as information technology specialists, operations managers, logistics coordinators. They've overseen millions of dollars of assets and operated complicated machinery, Obama said.
"On the battlefield, they are the leaders of today's dynamic modern warfare," she said. "And they're doing all of this on the razor's edge, when one wrong move could mean the difference between life or death."
Back home, service members' spouses also serve the country, she said, by volunteering, taking care of their children, managing the family's finances, while many attend school at night, Obama said. And every couple of years, she added, spouses up root their lives and restart their careers as their families are transferred.
These are the kinds of employees that business people are looking for to compete in today's global marketplace, Obama said.
Post-9/11 veterans are experiencing 9.4 percent unemployment rate, Obama said, with about 200,000 people still unemployed.
"That's almost two points higher than the national rate. For women veterans the rate is even higher," she said of the veterans unemployment rate. And among young veterans ages 18 to 24, she added, more than one out of three are unemployed.
And there are 200,000 military spouses looking for work, she said.
"When you combine all those numbers with the one million veterans that we know will be transitioning home over the next few years, it couldn't be more clear that we still have a lot more work to do," Obama said.
She highlighted Wal-Mart Stores Inc. as an example by its commitment to hire 100,000 veterans during the next five years.
"For every veteran who has served honorably and in need of a job the year after they separate from the military, Wal-Mart [says it] will hire them. The company is setting the bar high, [and is] saying no matter what: 'We've got your back,'" Obama said.
She encouraged the audience members to work together and make bold commitments to hire veterans and military spouses.
"If you do that, I know that you can build on the 125,000 folks that we've already hired or trained and you can help us bring our veterans unemployment rate down to zero -- yes, zero," Obama said. "That ... is our goal. But it's going to take every one of us doing our part to reach it.
"Your companies are uniquely poised to make a real, meaningful difference on this issue, she continued. "Together, you employ nearly 16 million people. You represent $7.3 trillion in revenue every single year ?- almost half of our nation's [gross domestic product]. The folks in this room alone have the capacity to end veterans' unemployment in this country."
Obama encouraged her audience "to sit down with each other and figure this out together by sharing best practices, pooling resources where it makes sense, and doing everything you can to fully integrate veterans into your businesses."
"Just look around this room," she added. "We've got competitors like UPS and FedEx, Verizon and AT&T, Viacom and DirecTV sitting at the same tables, ready to take on this issue together. No matter your differences, you're here today because you know that hiring veterans is good for your company and good for our country."
A job "is a source of pride," Obama said, noting that the end of a military member's service "doesn't mean the end of their service to this country."
Military veterans "want to play a pivotal role in investing in our communities and rebuilding on this recovery," she said. "They want to deploy their skills and energies to ensure that we remain the greatest nation on Earth. We owe it to them to give them that opportunity."
There is not a moment to waste, Obama added, because the first few months after service members depart the military are pivotal.
"So we've got to act fast. Now is the time when they're making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives ... when they're beginning to feel whether or not this country is truly there for them," she said.
"We've got to join forces," she added, "so that we can truly serve our veterans and military families as well as they have served us."

The Ukrainian city of Lviv, once a major center of Jewish life in Eastern Europe, is commemorating the 75th anniversary of the annihilation of the city's Jewish population by Nazi Germany and honoring those working today to preserve what they can of that vanished world.
City authorities honored recipients during a ceremony Sunday with 75 sculptured glass keys modeled by an American artist on an old metal synagogue key that she found at a Lviv market. The commemorations, including a concert amid the ruins of synagogues, come amid a larger attempt to revive suppressed memories of the Jews who were once an integral part of life in the region.
"God forbid our city once suffered such a misfortune," Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said at the ceremony. "Today we cannot even imagine for a moment the pain, humiliation and grief that thousands of Lviv's people suffered in the last century."
Iryna Matsevko, deputy director of the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe and one of the organizers, said it was the first time the western Ukrainian city has acknowledged the efforts in such an extensive way.
She said it comes amid a growing consciousness in Ukrainian society of the need to remember the Jews who were annihilated by Nazi forces during their occupation of Eastern Europe, which occurred with the participation of local people in some cases.
The new efforts have included introducing Jewish history courses at universities, new research by young Ukrainian scholars and grassroots efforts by local teachers and other volunteers that otherwise get little attention. Volunteers have also worked to recover Jewish gravestones that were used to pave roads and return them to cemeteries.
"This is part of the process of reviving the memory of the Jewish heritage. Of course, this process is slow. I want it to be quicker, but for the last 10 years we have seen how the Jewish heritage is returning to people's consciousness and a lot of activities are taking place," Matsevko said. "It is very important that people are being acknowledged for their work in Jewish heritage."
Before World War II, Lviv and the surrounding area belonged to Poland. Then called Lwow, it was the third largest Jewish community in prewar Poland after Warsaw and Lodz, with most working as merchants, manufacturers or artisans. Before World War I, Lviv and the surrounding area were part of the eastern Galicia region of the Austro-Hungarian empire and the city was called by its German name, Lemberg.
In June 1941, Germany attacked the Soviet Union, its former ally. When the German forces entered the city, they and their Ukrainian collaborators massacred Jews in the city and countryside. While occupying the area, Germans murdered Jews in the ghetto, the Belzec death camp and a forced labor camp, Janowska, with the final annihilation occurring in 1943, the anniversary observed on Sunday.
Of a population of about 150,000 Jews, only an estimated 1 percent survived.
In the postwar years, with Ukraine part of the Soviet Union, the memories of the murdered Jews began to vanish. Historian Omer Bartov has called the area a "land of memory and oblivion, coexistence and erasure, high hopes and dashed illusions."
The remembrance work is taking place as Ukraine finds itself mired in crisis and conflict following Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula and a continuing Russia-backed insurgency in the east. Nationalism has been on the rise, and some Ukrainians laud the Nazi-affiliated irregulars who fought against the Soviet Army in World War II.
To what extent this has led to greater anti-Semitism is a matter of dispute. Some of the people trying to sustain the history of Jewish life in western Ukraine think the amount of anti-Semitism is exaggerated as part of a Russian propaganda effort.
Among those honored was Marla Raucher Osborn, an American who heads the Rohatyn Jewish Heritage, which is restoring a cemetery in nearby Rohatyn among other projects, said she was honored to be acknowledged along with the local activists "working quietly in local communities recovering Jewish memory with little or no knowledge of their projects outside of those communities, especially among the distant Jewish diaspora."
The glass keys are the work of New Mexico-based artist Rachel Stevens, who found a rusted synagogue key at a street market in Lviv in February while seeking remnants of Jewish culture in eastern Galicia as part of a research project.
She said she reproduced them in glass, which in Jewish tradition "represents the fragility of life" and that they "became a tangible way for me to express my grief about the past and my hope for the future."
"The idea for this artwork seems almost mystically delivered to me," Stevens said.

'Kidney' Kumar lived lavish life in Canada
The kingpin apparently told his Canadian neighbours that he wanted to migrate to Canada after winding up his "business" in India.world Updated: Feb 03, 2008 17:42 IST
Amit Kumar, the alleged kingpin in the massive kidney racket, had been leading a lavish life while posing as a heart surgeon in Canada and had told his neighbours that he wanted to migrate to the country after winding up his "business" in India.
Kumar, against whom an Interpol red corner notice was issued after his illegal kidney selling network was unearthed, his "wife" Poonam Ameet, and their two sons, 5 and 4, moved into their Brampton home last April and the children attend a local private school, his neighbours said.
Except Kumar, the rest of the family remains barricaded behind security doors at their home, the Toronto Star reported on Sunday. The couple bought the four-bedroom home in the predominantly Indian neighborhood of Bovaird Dr and Airport Rd in April 2007 for $610,000, it said adding the kidney scandal had shocked the quiet neighbourhood.
Kumar reportedly told neighbours that he was a cardiovascular surgeon with clients around the world, but he never once mentioned anything about kidneys, it said.
Kumar, who Indian police say is not a surgeon, was last seen in Brampton before Christmas driving a leased $65,000 Lexus 350 SUV. While some found him "standoffish," others said he seemed to be upfront and candid.
"I'm absolutely in shock," said the neighbour, calling Kumar a "gem of guy" who brought him gifts from his trips to India. "This is strange. I'm baffled. I feel so let down."
Kumar told him he was going back to India to wind down his business, which he said included a hotel, a hospital and several clinics.
Kumar planned to open a hotel in Canada upon his return and was going to live and work permanently in Toronto, he said.
Interpol last week issued a rarely used "red notice" warrant for his arrest.

Holy garden bargain! Colorado garden-in-a-box program expands
Reduced-price, well-chosen plants, grown by the pros, that use less water. Pre-planned landscape designs. Bargains on drip irrigation gizmos to water them all. What's not to love about that?
Well, nothing. But all that was in 2011. This year, the Center for ReSource Conservation in Boulder has expanded the Garden-in-a-Box program, which in previous years offered three or four water-wise garden plans. And I mean exponentially expanded. As in, now there are FOURTEEN different gardens available; more than half of them are edible gardens. You can also buy just gooseberry shrubs, or just a semi-dwarf MacIntosh apple tree. Or a beetle-kill pine planter ($35) or a 4-foot-square raised bed with a trellis already attached ($185).
You can have your garden-in-a-box delivered instead of picking it up. You can buy garden planting services or a garden consultation. You can even buy dirt in a bag (seriously, I do know it's called soil, and actually, three different products are on offer: potting soil, planting mix and soil conditioner, all made by Waste Farmers, a local agro-economy company whose whole mission is creating great soil
Anyone in Colorado can buy a Garden-in-a-Box, but residents of cities that are participants in the program can get an even bigger discount. Because Denver is now among those participating cities, the first 1,000 people to order get $25 off of the xeric Garden-in-a-Box kits while supplies last. (Other cities include Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Greeley, Fort Collins, and Golden). You order from the website or call 303-999-3820, ext. 212; the CRC is finalizing delivery dates for the gardens now.
I bought a Garden-in-a-Box last year, and with one thing and another, I didn't get it planted at my house. But most of the plants – tough, xeric natives – lived through the hot summer in their little pots despite my benign neglect. I took them to the foothills to the garden of a friend, and they've all made it through the winter and are putting out little leaves, which is all they should be doing at this time of spring.
Gardens cost between $85 and $160 and come with 25 to 51 plants, depending on the design. The plants themselves are small – 2-inch or 4-inch pots – but that means they get established more quickly. It also means those small pots dry out more quickly, so don't do what I did. Start prepping that flower or vegetable bed as soon as you order the plants. The supply of plants was pretty good last year (I was even able to buy extras of some varieties) but with March as dry as it has been and wildfires already raging, you may not want to procrastinate too long.
Because it looks like this year, everyone's going to want to conserve water.

Americus Casting Call, Part I
Jason and Jonathan here, teaming up to write today's post.
When we were young, prepubescent boys and the only comics we read were superhero comics, we used to read the only comic magazine around, Wizard. One of their articles that we loved was called 'Casting Call' where they basically picked actors for the roles of nerdy movies that hadn't been made yet. They were always god-awful. One particularly awful one was their casting of a Lord of the Rings movie. They had Mandy Patinkin, the guy that played Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride, playing Aragorn. Even worse, they had Frank Oz playing Yoda playing Gollum!
Months ago, we were playing this game with Americus and thought it would be a fun blog post for the website, but we had to wait until all the main characters had been revealed.
Our first thought was that it would be made into a independent feature. It would be not widely seen, but well reviewed. The sort of movie people would see it and say, "I didn't know that was based on a comic!"
Here's what we came up with:
Neil Barton – Keir Gilchrist
Keir's has played the awkward teenager type in the United States of Tara. He might not be the spitting image of Neil, but he seems to have a physicality that captures his character perfectly.
Danny Burns – Erik Per Sullivan
Erik who? It's Dewey from Malcom In The Middle! He's all grown up and doesn't have that dopey-little kid look anymore… well, he kind of does. Really, we thought it would be awesome to see Dewey from Malcolm In The Middle in the Americus movie.
Charlotte Murphy – Zooey Deschanel
This is a no-brainer for us. Zooey Deschanel has been the hip, cute actress of indie films for over a decade. In fact, we were going to cast someone else in this part, but Ms. Deschanel's lawyers called to inform us on her monopoly on this type of role.
Carol Barton – Hope Davis
We had trouble coming up with an actress we thought would fit, but we eventually decided on Hope Davis. In a lot of her movies, like About Schmidt, American Splendor or Synecdoche, New York, she plays someone like Carol, who despite what has happens to them is able to maintain a quiet optimism.
Nancy Burns – Elizabeth Perkins
Danny's mom is an unstoppable force, and we think Elizabeth Perkins would do a fine job portraying that. She's played a similar mom-you-love-to-hate on Weeds, and it would be interesting to see her take on Nancy's religious zeal.
Chloe Moretz – Jael DeSelby
Between her work in Kick-Ass and the remake of Let The Right One In, Chloe Moretz seems like she can provide perfect amount of angst to the recently introduced character of Jael.
Apathea Ravenchilde – Saorise Ronan
We first noticed her in City of Ember, and since then it seems like she's been popping up everywhere like Lovely Bones and the upcoming Hanna. In all of these movies the characters she plays seem to have a toughness to them that would suit Apathea well. Plus, look at that picture! She's already wearing a cloak and everything! She'd be a perfect fit.
Selke – voiced by Neko Case
Neko was one of the inspirations for Apathea Ravenchilde's character design, and it seems appropriate to give her a place in a film adaptation. She's also had experience doing voice work for some shows on Adult Swim. Plus, anyone who's heard her talk at her concerts knows she can pull of sounding tough as nails (Warning: Salty language).
Auriel Ravenchilde – Catherine Keener
Apathea's mother isn't a role with lots of screen time, but she is important to the fictional heroine. Catherine Keener has the presence and talent to make the most of this cameo. Also, like Zooey Deschanel, she is an indie film staple.
Grimhilder – Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Another indie star! Even though his career seems to be heading towards big blockbusters like G.I. Joe and Inception, maybe JGL would like to get back to his roots and play Apathea's snakey, er, dragon-y half-brother.
So keep an eye out for Americus: The Movie! Coming soon to a local arthouse theatre near you!!

His second tooth has almost poked through! He is such a trooper, you'd never know he was teething, except for the constant drool.
It has been HOT, HOT, HOT here. I'm talking 90's, in JUNE! And muggy as all get out. We can't wait to go swimming again at my grandma's pool, tomorrow.
We had some fun in the backyard earlier this week, while the girls used their slip and slide. They did more slipping than sliding. And we ate up almost all of our ripe strawberries. They are just too tempting right from the garden, I never have hope of them making it into the house.
My goal is to knock out a bunch of sewing projects this week-end so I have something to share with you next week. But we've got a very full Saturday, so that may just be a pipe dream. I was super duper sick for 3 days last week and that has put me majorly behind in the whole "keeping the house sane" category. Oh and I am completely obsessed with the Twilight books. Working on the last one right now. Yeah, that could have something to do with it too.
Speaking of being sick. My sweet, sweet little Emily made my day last Tuesday. I had called Dave that morning to come home so I could go to the Dr. and when he got home, Emily said "I know! We should pray for Mommy!" She folded her tiny hands and squinched up her eyes real tight and almost yelling, said "Dear Jesus, please help my mommy to feel better, and not to be sick anymore and not to cry. Amen!" I was weepy all day after that. And I coudn't help wonder, seeing this little girl that looks so much like me, if I had ever done that for my mother when I was Emily's age and she was so sick and dying. Talk about feeling weepy! I even cried on my way home from the Dr. when I saw a bumper sticker that said "Proud Mother of a Soldier." That one always gets me.
I'm feeling much better this week, just need to find some motivation. Hopefully the sun will shine all day, that usually helps.

SGE parallel environment (PE) is used to specify how multiple CPU cores are allocated across one or more nodes. The syntax to specify PE is:
-pe pe_name number_of_cpu
where pe_name is one of the PE names (details below) and number_of_cpu is the total number of CPUs you intend to use in the computation.
Single-node multiple-core (SMP) jobs
- Use "shared" for pe_name. All of the CPU cores will be on the same node.
- Example: to request 8 CPU cores: -pe shared 8
- The maximum number of CPU cores you can use is 16.
Multiple-node parallel jobs
- Use "dc*" for pe_name. The CPU cores may be distributed on one or across multiple compute nodes.
- Example: to request 32 CPU cores (across multiple nodes): -pe dc* 32
- If you use "-pe dc* 32" on the command line, add the escape character "\" before the "*", e.g. "-pe dc\* 32"

Small and/or beat-up were the main themes running through Tuesday's stock chatter on CNBC. But don't forget energy and more energy -- and one aerospace giant.
Heartland Value Plus Fund manager Michael Petroff says small-cap stocks can be mighty -- if you screen by value first.
"We focus on margins of safety, companies with little or no debt. We avoid a lot of the dislocations in the debt market. We also focus on dividend-paying companies, [which are] less volatile than the non-dividend payers."
He praised medical-equipment sterilizer firm Steris: "Clearly, there's a trend" to demand for Steris' services, the 5-star manager said.
(See Petroff's other small-cap picks)
"Our strategy is to buy companies that are good companies, but really down and out," said John Linehan of T. Rowe Price. "Dell clearly is a company that's down and out," he told CNBC. He also likes refiner Sunoco for its "very attractive valuations."
(What is Linehan's third "cheap" large-cap?)
Boeing is no lumbering giant, says Putnam Vista Fund manager Kevin Divney.
"It's had some weakness because of some supply-chain disruptions, but I think Boeing is this long-run 'hold' you want to have in your portfolio," he told CNBC. Divney also recommended engineering/construction firm McDermott International.

James Maloney's boot throwing madness has to stop
WHAT I hate about sport this week is bad sportsmanship. It's a low act and it can ruin the reputation of sport.
If you want to be a professional athlete, you need to be above average, and that is reached by hard training and determination, not cheating.
James Maloney has been the main culprit of bad sportsmanship this week after being sprung for throwing the footy boots of opposition players into the crowd.
The sneaky tactic has been used by the Roosters five-eighth throughout the season and he was getting away with it until now.
After going through videos of previous matches this season, Maloney is seen to pick up boots that come off opposition players during a match and quickly lobs them into the crowd without anybody noticing.
A ploy to put his team at an advantage, it didn't seem to work against the Titans on the Sunday when Maloney left Kevin Gordon with only one boot for more than five minutes of the game.
The Titans won 30-22. He was also seen throwing Blake Ferguson's boot away in the game between the Roosters and Rabbitohs earlier this season (pictured Ferguson bootless in the game).
Roosters coach Trent Robinson has confirmed he will speak to Maloney about it.
"It's not a major issue but I've noticed him do it a couple of times," Robinson said.
"He's just a cheeky player and a great competitor who will look for any edge he can get.
"But he respects the laws of rugby league too and would never do anything to harm the game."
If I was playing footy and I saw somebody lob my boot away in the middle of play, it definitely wouldn't end well.
If I lose in any type of sport I'm the first person to go up and congratulate my better opponent, but why would you respect and congratulate somebody who had to cheat in order to win?
Good week
Gympie Diggers' A-grade and reserve grade teams progressed to the grand final of the Fraser Coast League.
Bad week
Under-16 Devils lose their first semi-final against Caboolture and will face a do-or-die preliminary final this weekend.
