Tanuma's earliest memory is of working in the temple. Tottering along behind his father and watching all the people come and go. He remembers sorting all the visitors into two broad categories; happy and worried. Even at that young age, he used to avoid the worried people.
Adults worried about confusing things, like taxes and work and love. And big things, like money and children. What could a child like him possibly do for a worried adult?
So he stayed silent and watched and hoped and prayed. Sometimes things got better. And sometimes they didn't. Sometimes people suffered. And then, the illness came to their little town. An awful contagious pneumonia that killed babies and hospitalised toddlers and spread like wildfire.
There were no happy adults, after that. Only worried ones, clutching limp-looking, pale-faced children. Only scared ones, who spoke to his father in hushed tones, and wept.
"I don't want any more kids to die," Tanuma told him, over dinner.
"That is not for you to decide," his father had replied.
Tanuma remembers one little girl, with strawberry-blonde hair and sad, pained eyes. He remembers the way her mother screamed, and got on her knees, and begged the gods for mercy. He remembers his father's words.
Not more than three days left.
Nobody should ever have to die so young.
Something happened that night. Something important. Tanuma prayed for her to get better, over and over, clutching his pillow as he tossed and turned.
"Please," he whispered, clasping his hands together in front of his chest. "Please. Let her get better. I want her to be healthy again."
The next day, she got better. Not slowly and naturally. Instantaneously. As if the gods had listened.
It was then that Tanuma understood what he could do for worried adults.
Part One
A spirit shows up in Taki's house. Natsume goes promptly, heart in his throat, already gearing up for a fight. He's not a violent person by nature, but the more he cares for his friends, the less he tolerates the spirits that impact upon them.
Taki is his dear…his precious…his almost sisterly…
He can't form the words, even in his head. Taki is just important.
"You didn't have to run," she says, warmly. "I told you there was no hurry. Look, you've gotten a scratch on your arm."
"It's nothing," Natsume tells her impatiently, not even looking down. If he never fits in, if he never makes good, if he's useless and awkward until he dies, all of that will be acceptable if he can manage to protect his friends.
The spirit turns out to be the god of a peach orchard. He has curly red hair and pointy teeth and a huge golden scythe, but he speaks gently and does not threaten anyone. He is trying to find a way to stop his lands from being logged and sold as real estate.
"I knew your great grandmother," he tells Taki, wistfully. "Or maybe it was your great-great grandmother. Human lives are so short."
I know, Natsume thinks, wistfully.
Natsume is pretty powerless in the human world, especially against influential people like land developers. He and Taki tell the god that he must advise his spirit subjects to move on.
"It will mean that you'll get lots of new people visiting your shrine," Taki tells him. "Change can be a good thing."
Natsume doesn't always agree with that sentiment. It depends entirely on the type of change. There is definitely such a thing as bad change.
The rest of the day passes uneventfully. The god leaves, Natsume goes home, calls Tanuma, argues with Nyanko, eats dinner, and goes to bed. By the time he's drifting off to sleep, the scratch on his arm has healed completely.
When Tanuma meets Natsume after school, he doesn't say 'why do you always take Taki with you, and never me'. He never says problematic things, because he doesn't want to make Natsume guilty or sad.
Natsume can see, speak to, and interact with spirits. He's also very strong, able to fight off evil, able to defend the people he loves. He's everything Tanuma always wanted to be.
"I found a new fishing spot," Natsume announces, putting one hand on Tanuma's shoulder to better steer him through the forest.
"Teacher found a new fishing spot," Natsume corrects, with a wry, vulnerable little grin. "We tested it out yesterday. There are plenty of fish."
Tanuma isn't jealous of Natsume, because Natsume is amazing. He's kind and polite and softly spoken and noble-hearted. He's a hero. In fact, he's an honest-to-god superhero, saving society from unmentionable evil every single day, without anyone ever noticing.
Tanuma is lucky to be gifted with Natsume's secrets, Natsume's trust. He must never betray that confidence, no matter what. It is absolutely imperative that Natsume go on talking to him, sharing with him, mentioning all the tiny little details of his life.
Natsume doesn't tell Tanuma about the big things. Tanuma knows that. But sometimes, the small things are just as important.
Something has been bothering Natsume for a few days now, and Tanuma wants to know what it is.
"That sounds great," he replies, emphatically. Natsume's hand is still on his shoulder. Tanuma notices everything that Natsume does, like his every action is highlighted, underlined, magnified and bold font. Like there's a huge neon arrow right above his head, saying 'notice this person, this person is special'.
Natsume sees something on the lake, but he doesn't elaborate. He wants to keep the spirit world hidden from Tanuma. He doesn't consider that Tanuma is strong enough or competent enough to help him fight his battles.
And he's right. Tanuma is useless. The only thing he can do is be a good friend, a receptive friend.
"Well, whatever it is," Tanuma jokes, "it's scaring away the fish."
Natsume sighs and leans back against the tree.
"I need to bring home a good catch," he murmurs. "Touko needs the protein."
Tanuma notes the slight inflection in his voice, and suddenly Natsume's recent subdued mood makes sense.
"Is she not well?" he asks, quietly.
Natsume frowns.
"It's not a curse, or anything," he tells Tanuma. "It's just an ordinary flu. There isn't anything I can do to help."
Tanuma smiles, as warmly as he can manage, anything for Natsume.
"I'm sure she'll get better soon," he replies.
That night, six spirits come to demand their names. Natsume returns the names willingly, without reluctance, but by morning he is completely exhausted.
"Oh no," Touko says, clutching her apron. "I've given it to you, haven't I?"
Her voice sounds normal, and there's colour in her cheeks. Natsume feels a sudden rush of relief.
"You sound good," he says, tremulously.
Touko pushes the hair from his eyes, and smiles.
"Of course," she says, with exaggerated indignation. "I'm tough. Isn't that right, Shigeru?"
Shigeru laughs and brings his coffee mug to his lips. And Natsume stands there, between the two of them, feeling like part of a proper family.
Natsume calls after school.
"I was going to come and see you," he says. "But Natori has asked for my help sealing a powerful spirit. I can't refuse."
"Don't refuse," Tanuma agrees. The world needs Natsume, and Tanuma will support him until the very, very end. "Phone me when it's over?"
"I'll visit when it's over," Natsume tells him. "You shouldn't be alone when you're sick."
"It's just a headache," Tanuma lies. "Call, okay? And good luck with the spirit."
He doesn't add 'and don't get hurt', but he hopes Natsume hears it, anyway.
Nothing happens for two days, and then Natsume gets into a fistfight with a strong, vengeful spirit.
"I'll kill you," it hisses, reaching for him with oar-sized tentacles. "I'll eat you for daring to take my name, Reiko."
Nyanko isn't around. Nyanko is off drinking alcohol at some sort of spirit-festival. So Natsume fights alone, ducking and weaving and punching, not fast enough to get away, too out of breath to explain that he isn't his grandmother.
The spirit hits him under the ribs, and Natsume drops to his knees, winded. It occurs to him that he might be killed, right here and now.
He thinks of Tanuma, messy-haired and smiling and ever so slightly cross-eyed. He'd die for Tanuma in a heartbeat.
The spirit pins him to the ground, cackling gleefully.
"Give me the Book of Friends, Reiko," it purrs. "Give it to me, and I promise to eat you quickly."
Getting killed like this won't help Tanuma. Natsume struggles with all his might. He has to get up. He has to go on. He has to see his friends again.
It's no use. The spirit is too strong. It squeezes him hard, stifling his breathing.
"What's the matter?" it taunts, grinning. "Have you lost your powers, Reiko?"
"I'm," Natsume gasps. "I'm…not…"
"That is not Natsume Reiko," an unfamiliar voice supplies. "That is her descendant."
"Aoi," the tentacle-spirit snarls, whirling to face the newcomer. "Do you know this weakling?"
"I know of him," Aoi says, coldly. "I know he is not in possession of the Book of Friends. But go ahead and waste your time, if you wish."
Natsume cranes his neck to get a good look at Aoi. She has the form of a human woman, with hip-length blonde hair, and a mask that looks like the head of a fish.
And suddenly Natsume can breathe again. The tentacle-spirit goes slithering off into the underbrush, grumbling to itself.
"Thank you," Natsume gasps. "Wh-why did you lie?"
"I have nothing to say to you," Aoi informs him, and vanishes into thin air.
"Where were you?" Taki asks, worriedly. "Tanuma and I waited at the store for ages, but you didn't come."
"Did something happen with a spirit?" Tanuma asks.
"No," Natsume replies.
Tanuma knows he is lying, just the way he knows Natsume will probably tell Taki about it later.
Natsume doesn't mean to choose between his friends. He honestly doesn't. Taki and Tanuma; there should be no difference at all. They both mean everything to him. They both make his heart ache, just thinking about them. Just thinking about the fact that Tanuma can get sick and Taki can get cursed and if he's not very very careful, he won't be able to protect them.
They ought to be equivalent, but they're not. Taki is…elevated. She's reliable in ways that Tanuma isn't. Not for tangible reasons, but for intuitive ones. Whenever Tanuma learns something about the spirit world, Natsume is struck by the horrible vision that he's going to get seriously hurt.
Taki makes Natsume want to tell her things and treat her like an equal. Tanuma makes Natsume want to wrap around him and annihilate anything that approaches him.
There are very distinct boundaries in Natsume's mind. Topics that are safe, and topics that are not safe. He must only talk to Tanuma about ordinary things, like schoolwork and sports and whether he's feeling well. He wants Tanuma to have the life he can't have, to escape the world of spirits and be happy.
Natsume knows, intellectually, that one day Tanuma and Taki will probably be together. That's what boys and girls do. But for now, he wants to keep Tanuma as close as possible. He wants them to spend good times together, when neither of them is worried or afraid.
He wants to make the world a better place for Tanuma. So while he gives the appearance of caring for Taki more, it's really the opposite.
Tanuma walks him home, close enough that their shoulders touch, and gives him a sad little smile when they say goodbye.
Sometimes, Tanuma's father looks curiously melancholy. Like he's worrying about some painful hidden thing, and Tanuma sometimes gets really sick and tired of people keeping secrets from him.
"You're ill again," he observes, resting his hand on the mattress. He never touches Tanuma, because he's not an affectionate sort of person. And maybe that's part of the reason that Tanuma finds Natsume so utterly entrancing.
"It's only a headache," Tanuma answers, and it's the truth this time.
"I had hoped that by this age you would be stronger," his father says, heavily. And then his gaze becomes unfocused and the corners of his mouth turn down. "Do you remember how your mother died?"
Tanuma sighs.
"I don't have a brain tumour," he says, as gently as he can manage. "You know this, dad. We had all the scans done last year."
"You have a predisposition," his father argues. "On both sides of the family. I'm going to make another appointment, just in case."
A doctor's visit will be inconvenient, but Tanuma can handle it.
"I'm not scared of illness, dad," he says, reassuringly.
"I know," his father replies.
"Those weren't tentacles," Nyanko says, licking at his paw. "Those were flagellae. That thing was a very old spirit that is said to have originated from bacteria and other microscopic creatures. You're lucky you got away with a few bruises."
"I didn't, though," Natsume says, yanking up his shirt and examining his own bare stomach. "The bruises are gone."
Nyanko gives Natsume a long, withering stare.
"And you're complaining about this?" he asks, skeptically.
"No," Natsume replies. "It's just strange, that's all."
The weather is fine, so they spend the afternoon outdoors, studying under the trees. Natsume helps Tanuma with mathematics, head bowed over the textbook, utterly focused. Tanuma fights down the awkward, inappropriate urge to touch his face.
"I think you divide by three here," Natsume says, softly. "And then…wait, let me check how I solved this equation."
He's the hero of the town – maybe even the hero of Japan – and he still finds time to help his friends.
Natsume is more than just a really great guy. He gives Tanuma purpose. Tanuma can put all his time and energy into Natsume and know that they'll be well-invested, no matter what. Personality doesn't even come into it, really. He could hate Natsume, and still know that this is the right thing to do.
Natsume groans and tips his head to one side, accidentally brushing his forehead against Tanuma's shoulder.
"I don't know. It made sense to me at the time," he says, dejectedly. "Oh, wait, is that a logarithm? I think it is."
Tanuma touches his hair, just briefly. He is so far from hating Natsume that it's kind of ridiculous.
Today is a good day.
"I'm sorry for leaving so quickly," Natsume says, bowing lower than is necessary. "I might not be back for dinner, either."
Touko smiles.
"I'm glad you're spending so much time with Tooru," she says, cheerfully. "She's such a nice girl."
"She's great," Natsume agrees, even though he feels a little strange saying it out loud. He's going to see Natori. Again. This time it's an honest-to-god demon, so strong that even Taki's limited power will be beneficial.
He wants to tell Touko that Tanuma is great, too, but he doesn't. Instead he comforts himself with the knowledge that Tanuma is safe at home and nothing bad can happen to him.
When Natsume visits, Tanuma doesn't pretend not to know where he's been.
"Did you manage to seal it?"
Natsume regards the ground.
"Taki told you," he says, quietly.
Tanuma raises an eyebrow.
"Was it a secret?" he asks, fighting down a wave of panic. He doesn't want Natsume to start keeping even more secrets from him.
"Not really," Natsume says, flopping down on the floor. "I just don't like talking about it, that's all."
He looks downcast and completely exhausted. The collar of his shirt is torn. The demon apparently put up quite a fight.
"I wish I could help you," Tanuma replies, wistfully. "I wish I could be of some use to you."
Natsume frowns at him.
"What are you talking about?" he asks, confused. "I don't understand."
"Don't worry about it," Tanuma says, forcing a smile. He should never have said it in the first place. "I'm going to make some tea, and you're going to tell me how Touko and Shigeru are, okay?"
"Okay," Natsume replies, the tension easing from his voice. "You look well today. I'm glad."
"I'm glad to have you here," Tanuma says, and then walks away quickly before he can say anything else stupid.
Natsume washes up after dinner and Touko lauds him with praise, as if he's doing her some tremendous favour instead of clumsily trying to express his own overwhelming gratitude.
"Ever since you started living here, things have been better," she enthuses. "Why, I was saying to Shigeru just this morning how much healthier I've been feeling."
"I'm glad," Natsume replies, automatically. But something doesn't feel quite right, so he presses further. "Did you used to be ill, Touko?"
"Oh, I used to get these headaches all the time," she says, waving one hand in the air as if to brush the very thought of them aside. "But they've eased up recently. I think you're making me younger, Takashi."
"That's good," Natsume says, sounding far more cheerful than he actually feels.
That's strange.
He needs to talk to Nyanko, and soon.
Tanuma spends the evening playing board games with Kitamoto. He learned from an early age to treasure the days when he feels healthy, so he always tries to do as much as possible.
"Natsume was commenting that you've lost weight again," Kitamoto says, conversationally. "I have to say, I'm a little surprised that you get sick so frequently."
Tanuma narrows his eyes ever so slightly.
"Why?" he asks. He likes Kitamoto. Kitamoto is a kind person, and a good friend to Natsume.
"Was I wrong?" Kitamoto asks, curiously. "Your father was the priest in Emukae, right? During that time when-"
"I wouldn't know," Tanuma says, politely. "He doesn't talk about Emukae."
Kitamoto is respectful enough to abandon the subject.
"Oh," he says, nodding. "Sorry for bringing it up."
"It's fine," Tanuma answers, smiling.
"Natsume does talk about you all the time, though," Kitamoto adds. "Please be careful with your health.
"Wh-what?" Tanuma stammers. "What does he say?"
Kitamoto laughs.
"Ask him yourself."
"Is it possible," Natsume asks, carefully, "that there is a spirit watching over this house?"
"It's possible," Nyanko confirms. "Spirits can more or less do whatever they want."
"Is there a spirit guarding this house?" Natsume presses, because sometimes talking to his bodyguard is like pulling teeth.
"Not that I know about. Why? Did something happen?"
Natsume sits down on the floor.
"For several months now," he says, slowly, "pretty much every wound I get has healed up within a day. Touko's headaches have decreased. And Shigeru's cold stopped after two days even though he swears they always last for at least a week."
"So, I think there's a spirit healing us. And I don't know why, or what it wants."
"I'll tell you if I see anyone hanging around," Nyanko tells him, boredly. "But I think you're imagining things. Everyone has good luck some of the time. Even you."
The three of them attend a festival, with Nishimura and Kitamoto and Sasada in tow. Tanuma spends most of his time talking quietly with Taki. He's unwilling to talk to Kitamoto, and he's not really familiar with the other two. And he's…he's maybe avoiding speaking with Natsume right now.
He can't ask. He doesn't know why. He just can't.
At the end of the day, Natsume grabs Tanuma's wrist and tugs him forward until the two of them are walking side by side.
"Are you okay?" he asks, and it's dark, and the sky is kind of pretty, and Tanuma feels dizzy.
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"I'm sorry. There's nothing in any of my grandfather's books about healing spirits. I checked everywhere."
Natsume spends a lot of time talking to Taki. She doesn't know about the Book of Friends, of course, but she knows about his day-to-day dealings. He doesn't have to hold back the way he does when he's talking to Tanuma. He can relax and talk somewhat openly and know that Taki will listen.
So it's entirely illogical, the way he wants to be with Tanuma right now.
"That's okay," Natsume replies. "Thank you for trying."
"This is really worrying you, isn't it?" she asks, pushing her bangs out of her face.
"If there is a spirit," Natsume says, quietly, "then it is trying to go unnoticed. And it is powerful enough to hide from Teacher. That worries me."
Taki smiles and touches his shoulder. Her hand is small and warm and her touch is ordinary, not like Tanuma's, and Natsume doesn't really understand why one of his precious friends is so different to the other.
"But there's a positive side, too, right?" she points out. "Touko and Shigeru will be protected."
"Yeah," Natsume agrees. He doesn't want the spirit to stop, exactly. He just wants to know what is going on.
A few days later, a spirit attacks Natsume and Taki on the way home from school.
"What was it?" Tanuma asks, cradling the phone in his hand.
"Just…an ordinary spirit," Natsume replies, evasively. He'll say more if Tanuma presses. But if Tanuma presses too much, he might stop talking to Tanuma completely.
"Are you okay?" Tanuma asks. It's his standard question.
"I'm fine," Natsume assures him. "Taki sprained her ankle, though."
"Sometimes those heal up in a few days," Tanuma muses. "Still, maybe I should call her and see how she's going."
"She's doing better than the spirit," Natsume says, his voice uncharacteristically fierce. Tanuma smiles at the empty room.
"You're a good friend," he says, affectionately.
He still hasn't asked.
"I can't believe it," Taki says, cheerily. "This morning when I woke up, I could walk perfectly. No pain at all."
"I'm glad," Natsume replies, fighting to keep the tremor from his voice.
The healing spirit isn't just guarding his home. It is guarding his friends.
Secretive or not, Natsume is suddenly very relieved to have it around.
"Sick again?" Nishimura teases. "I think you're just faking it to skip class."
Tanuma laughs and pulls himself up on his elbows. Natsume pokes him Nishimura in the side.
"Don't say things like that," he says, crossly, and then smiles at Tanuma. "I'm sorry for bringing them along."
"It's no bother," Tanuma replies, hurriedly. "It's good to have visitors."
Natsume sits down on the edge of the bed, his posture stiff enough that he doesn't actually make contact with Tanuma's side.
"I brought you today's notes," Kitamoto says, handing Tanuma a binder full of papers.
"Thanks," Tanuma replies, gratefully. "Sorry for asking so much of you."
"It's fine," Kitamoto replies, grinning and sort of pushing Natsume towards him. Tanuma's gratitude evaporates almost instantaneously, and he glares at Kitamoto balefully.
He tries to ignore how warm Natsume feels. He doesn't need to be any more infatuated than he already is.
"I'm jealous of you," Nishimura announces. "At this rate you'll have to repeat the grade, and you'll get to spend another year relaxing at school while we tackle the real world."
Kitamoto smacks him.
"You can't say things like that," he hisses.
Natsume laughs.
"Have you two decided on your career choices yet?" he asks. "Last I heard, Nishimura was going to become a butcher."
"Nope," Nishimura announces, smacking Kitamoto right back. "We're going to live with his grandmother in Tokyo, and study business."
Natsume raises an eyebrow.
"You've got it all worked out," he says. "I'm impressed."
"Taki is totally going to live with us too!" Nishimura insists, but Natsume doesn't seem to be listening. He stares at his hands.
"I still don't know what I'm going to do," he says, quietly, just to Tanuma.
There's no excuse for what Tanuma says next. Not the pain he's feeling, or the fact that he's tired, or his proximity to Natsume. No excuse at all.
"We should go to the same college and rent an apartment together. That would be fun."
His only saving grace is that he sounds light-hearted. Because he's asking…he's practically asking…
Natsume stares at him, like he's temporarily forgotten how to form words.
"I'm sorry," Tanuma says. "That was too presumptuous."
"No," Natsume manages, shaking his head violently. "That was…that would be good."
"Are we interrupting something?" Kitamoto asks jovially, looking right at Tanuma. Tanuma gives up and looks away, thoroughly embarrassed.
Natsume puts a hand on his shoulder and leaves it there for the rest of the evening, though, and that makes it difficult to worry much about anything.

The 1920 U.S. Census reflected the political changes that occurred
in Europe after 1918.
Slovak(land) was often used for new part of Czechoslovakia
that was now called Slovakia.
The census record keeping didn't improve much until the 1920 U.S.
Census when they hired some female census takers with Slavic surnames.
Census-takers were for the most part white, Anglo males who spoke no
foreign language.
But, in ship manifest listings it continued into the 1920s.
Have read any number of pre-WW I ship manifests and 1900/1910/1920
Census enumeration microfilms where the term Slovak could mean either
a Slovak or a Slovenian (depending on how knoweledgeable the writer).
When I used to reply to surname queries at Searching in Slovakia
website asked :
Did you mean Slovakia or Slovenia ?
Some who seek Slovenija (Slovenia) think it is the the same
country as Slovakia (Slovensko)
Slovenia was a part of former Yugoslavia in the Balkans.
Slovakia was a part of former Czechoslovakia in Central Europe.
Or, I asked :
What was surname ethnicity ?
Did you mean Austrian-Slovak or Austrian-Slovenian ?
Before WW I, Slovakia was Hungarian and not Austrian.
Before WW I, Slovenia was Austrian.
When referring to the former Austrian Empire or Austro-Hungarian
Monarchy (1867-1918) the term Austrian means very little in
identification of surname ethnicity.
Austrian meant nationality and not ethnicity.
Have read pages of U.S. census enumerations where word Austria was
rubber stamped with Slovakland or Slovak.
Slovak the official language of Slovakia is spoken by 5.6 million
Ako sa maté ? (How are you ?)
Rozumiem. (I understand )
Slovenian is similar to Croatian and the official language of the
of Slovenia , formerly part of Yugoslavia.
Total about 2.2 million speakers (2 million are in Slovenia)
Kako ste ? (How are you ?)
Razumen. (I understand )
The Cleveland, OH area had the largest concentration of Slovenes
outside of the capital city of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
If you write to Slovenija and don't use Slovenia, the letter
probably gets mailed to Slovakia. If you use Slovensko for Slovakia
the letter probably ends up in Slovenia ?
U.S. Postal Service only recognizes these countries under "Slovenia"
and "Slovak Republic".
Slovenia had once been part of former Yugoslavia in the Balkans until
it gained its independence in 1990s.
Slovakia had once been part of Czechoslovakia in Central Europe until
it gained its independence in 1993.
There was confusion even back then which contimues into 2001.
A Slovenian recently wrote a letter to Slovenia and it ended up in
Sierra Leone (Africa, where a civil war is being waged)
The letter sat there was a month, before being forwarded to
Bratislava, Slovkia, from where is was finally forwarded to the correct add=
ress in Ljubljana, Slovenia a month later.
A Slovenian had attempted to enter Slovakia on a Slovenian passport
and was denied entry.
Border guard had never seen a Slovene passport and was convinced it
was a forgered Slovakia passport.
After conversation with customs supervisor Slovenian was able to
convince them that it was a legitimate passport.
Actually, Slovak a west Slavic language is probably closest to Slovenian a =
south Slavic language.

NH gunpowder plant owner gets 10-20 years in blast
LANCASTER, N.H. — The owner of a New Hampshire gunpowder plant where an explosion killed two workers has been sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison.
Craig Sanborn, of Maidstone, Vt., was convicted last month of manslaughter and was sentenced Wednesday.
Sanborn owned the Black Mag plant in Colebrook, where the 2010 explosion killed 56-year-old Donald Kendall, of Colebrook, and 49-year-old Jesse Kennett, of Stratford.
Prosecutors say Sanborn was reckless in manufacturing, testing and storing the black powder and failed to adequately train workers.

Extending Building Information Modeling (BIM) interoperability to geo-spatial domain using semantic web technology
Parvaresh Karan, Ebrahim
MetadataShow full item record
As Building Information Modeling (BIM) applications become more sophisticated and used within other knowledge domains, the limitations of existing data exchange and sharing methods become apparent. The integration of BIM and Geographic Information System (GIS) can offer substantial benefits to manage the planning process during the design and construction stages. Currently, building (and geospatial) data are shared between BIM software tools through a common data format, such as Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Because of the diversity and complexity of domain knowledge across BIM and GIS systems, however, these syntactic approaches are not capable of overcoming semantic heterogeneity. This study uses semantic web technology to ensure the highest level of interoperability between existing BIM and GIS tools. The proposed approach is composed of three main steps; ontology construction, semantic integration through interoperable data formats and standards, and query of heterogeneous information sources. Because no application ontology is available to encompass all IFC classes with different attributes, we first develop an IFC-compliant ontology describing the hierarchy structure of BIM objects. Then, we can translate the building's elements and GIS data into semantic web standard formats. Once the information has been gathered from different sources and transformed into an appropriate semantic web format, the SPARQL query language is used in the last step to retrieve this information from a dataset. The completeness of the methodology is validated through a case study and two use case examples.

I have to say, I've got a lot of love for our Fury fans on Facebook right now! Last week's Powerboat Races were an absolute blast. As usual, we were partying aboard the Key West Fury as an official turnboat for the races. Well, I do my best to capture the excitement with my camera, but I'm no pro. I made a simple request on our Facebook page for our fans to share their pix from the race. And, boy, did you guys ever!
I remembered Jim Winters from last year who posted a link to his Nikon Miami blog featuring some amazing up-close, action shots. He didn't disappoint and shared his link with us again this year. But Jim wasn't the only one! Sarah Brown posted some great, colorful shots featuring the race boats, as well as the helicopters that hover above them to catch all the action.
Ralph Hofer posted a handful of great pix, too, including a close-up of the Cintron boat ready to make its turn around our Fury catamaran. We can always count on Fury's own Brenda Rief to share wonderful pictures with us, and she posted some great ones with the Fury cat front and center!
Later in the week, the conversation shifted to Captain Chuck Buck, a Fury fan favorite and true original. If you've been out on the Ultimate Adventure or the Commotion on the Ocean, chances are Chuck has been your captain. There are some great fan pix of Chuck up on our page, too, courtesy of Sarah Brown, Scott Stewart, and Kim Lunsford Schadle.
We always aim to make your Key West vacation memorable, and we definitely get a little thrill every time you share with us, whether it's a picture or a special anecdote. Keep the conversation going and find us on Facebook and Twitter!

Senate passes bill letting states tax online sales
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate sided with traditional retailers and financially strapped state and local governments Monday by passing a bill that would widely subject online shopping — for many a largely tax-free frontier — to state sales taxes.
The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 69 to 27, getting support from Republicans and Democrats alike. But opposition from some conservatives who view it as a tax increase will make it a tougher sell in the House. President Barack Obama has conveyed his support for the measure.
Under current law, states can only require retailers to collect sales taxes if the store has a physical presence in the state.
That means big retailers with stores all over the country like Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target collect sales taxes when they sell goods over the Internet. But online retailers like eBay and Amazon don't have to collect sales taxes, except in states where they have offices or distribution centers.
As a result, many online sales are tax-free, giving Internet retailers an advantage over brick-and-mortar stores.
"We ought to have a structure in place in the states that treats all retail the same," said Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the National Retail Federation. "Small retailers are collecting (sales tax) on the first dollar of any sale they make, and it's only fair that other retailers who are selling to those same customers the same product have those same obligations."
The bill would empower states to require businesses to collect taxes for products they sell on the Internet, in catalogs and through radio and TV ads. Under the legislation, the sales taxes would be sent to the state where the shopper lives.
Supporters say the current tax disparity is turning some traditional stores into showrooms, where shoppers pick out items they like, then buy them on the Internet to avoid sales taxes.
"It's about the way commerce has changed in America," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. "Bookstores, stores that sell running shoes, bicycles and appliances are at a distinct disadvantage. They've become showrooms."
Internet giant eBay is leading the fight against the bill, along with lawmakers from states with no sales tax and several prominent anti-tax groups. The bill's opponents say it would put an expensive obligation on small businesses because they are not as equipped as national merchandisers to collect and remit sales taxes at the multitude of state rates.
"Giant retailers have a requirement to collect sales taxes nationwide because they have physical presence nationwide," eBay president John Donahoe wrote in an online column over the weekend. "Likewise, today small retail stores and online retailers collect sales taxes for the one state where they are located. That's a fair requirement."
"If the bill passes, small online businesses would have the same tax compliance obligations and face the same enforcement risks as giant retailers, despite the fact that they are usually located in just one state."
Businesses with less than $1 million in online sales would be exempt. EBay wants to exempt businesses with up to $10 million in sales or fewer than 50 employees.
Some states have sales taxes as high as 7 percent, plus city and county taxes that can push the combined rate even higher. For example, the combined state and local sales tax is 9 percent in Los Angeles and 9.25 percent in Chicago. In New York City, it's 8.5 percent and in Richmond, Va., 5 percent. In many states, shoppers are already required to pay unpaid sales tax when they file their state income tax returns. However, states complain that few taxpayers comply.
Many governors — Republicans and Democrats — have been lobbying the federal government for years for the authority to collect sales taxes from online sales.
The issue is getting bigger for states as more people make purchases online. Last year, Internet sales in the U.S. totaled $226 billion, up nearly 16 percent from the previous year, according to government estimates.
States lost a total of $23 billion last year because they couldn't collect taxes on out-of-state sales, according to a study done for the National Conference of State Legislatures, which has lobbied for the bill. About half of that was lost from Internet sales; half from purchases made through catalogs, mail orders and telephone orders, the study said.
Supporters say the bill makes it relatively easy for Internet retailers to comply. States must provide free computer software to help retailers calculate sales taxes, based on where shoppers live. States must also establish a single entity to receive Internet sales tax revenue, so retailers don't have to send it to individual counties or cities.
Opponents worry the bill would give states too much power to reach across state lines to enforce their tax laws. States could audit out-of-state businesses, impose liens on their property and, ultimately, sue them in state court.
In the Senate, lawmakers from three states without sales taxes are leading the opposition: Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. They argue that businesses based in their states should not have to collect taxes for other states.
Delaware also has no sales tax, though Delaware's two senators support the bill.
Grover Norquist, an anti-tax advocate, and the conservative Heritage Foundation oppose the bill, and many Republicans have been wary of crossing them.
Even so, the issue has a bipartisan flavor. The main sponsor, Sen. Mike Enzi, is a conservative Republican from Wyoming. He has worked closely with Durbin, a liberal Democrat.
In the House, Republican Speaker John Boehner has not commented publicly about the bill, giving supporters hope that he could be won over.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which would have jurisdiction over the bill, has cited problems with the legislation but has not rejected it outright.
"While it attempts to make tax collection simpler, it still has a long way to go," Goodlatte said in a statement. Without more uniformity in the bill, he said, "businesses would still be forced to wade through potentially hundreds of tax rates and a host of different tax codes and definitions."
Goodlatte said he's "open to considering legislation concerning this topic but these issues, along with others, would certainly have to be addressed."

At a Tacoma liquor store this week, I overheard a clerk telling a customer that he is staying on when the store transfers to private ownership, in part because the state is offering a discount to new owners who retain the employees.
I asked the state liquor control board spokesman Brian Smith whether there is such an incentive, and he answered that there is. The agency's director of business enterprise, Pat McLaughlin, said the discount is one way the state is seeking to lower unemployment payments to workers left without a job once privatization takes effect.
The state has budgeted $1.8 million to pay those unemployment expenses.
"In order to defer unemployment expense and to incentivize the employment of our talented displaced workers, bidders have been given the opportunity to earn a rebate of the 6% buyers premium they paid along with their winning bid," McLaughlin said.
The rebate is calculated based on the number of workers hired beginning June 2012 to March 2013 (the period for which the agency was given funding). Private owners can earn a maximum payout of $30,000 a store based on how many former state employees they hire and how long they are employed.
"The three primary benefits of this incentive program is that it reduces the state's exposure to unemployment expense, provides a financial boost to local small business, and returns skilled and knowledgeable people to the workplace quickly," McLaughlin said.

Review of win over Memphis:
"There were a lot of things that we did well in the first half. Offensively, in the first half, we played the most consistently that we have played this year. We made a lot of big plays. Defensively, we made some plays but we also gave up some plays that we probably shouldn't have, especially, the long passes. Health-wise, we came out very healthy. We have one player (Slovakia Griffith) that won't be on the (practice) field today.
"Offensively, especially in the first half, Aaron Lumpkin, Darnell Jones and Kevin Fant played very well. Fred Reid made a big play. (Punter) Robert Wallis averaged 47.9 or 48.0 yards and was really consistent with his last five punts. That really helped us by creating field position for us.
"Defensively, Pee Wee (Slovakia) Griffith was player of the week. Of course, Tommy (Kelly) had five tackles and three quarterback pressures. Quinton (Culberson) had nine tackles, one assist, two tackles for losses and two passes broken up. For a young man - he is still 17 - he is playing very well.
"Our players are kind of tired. Quinton Culberson played over 100 plays. Odell Bradley played 100 plays. Jason Clark played 92. (Kevin) Dockery) played 97. We had a lot of kids who played in the 70's and 80's snaps. We have to do things to keep them off the field this week to keep them fresh."
After the (Vanderbilt) game, (MSU offensive coordinator) Coach Watts said he became a little conservative with his play-calling in the second half. Do you agree with that or do you feel it was something Memphis' defense was doing?
"No, they did the same thing in the second half. We didn't call some of the plays that we did in the first half. That was what he was referring to. But the timing of throwing the ball and catching it wasn't there in the second half like it was in the first half. We had five or six deep balls that were off. We even had a couple of throws for first downs in the first half that we didn't make in the second half."
Who is the injured player that you mentioned in your opening comments?
"Slovakia Griffith has an ankle (injury). We are just resting him."
Were you surprised that you were hit with the 15-yard penalty after Nick Turner's kick return in the fourth quarter?
"I really can't comment on the officiating. I had a couple of questions and voiced my opinion. Evidently, they didn't like my opinion. The ones that I question, we send them in every week and we will get a printout not only from Conference USA but (the SEC's head of officials) will grade them and send them back."
With the two warnings and the flag and your comments to (Memphis) Coach West after the game would you say your behavior was out of control or were you trying to light a fire under your team?
"I don't think my behavior was out of control. Whenever there is a questionable call, you aren't going to look on the field and say let's move on."
Did you get tired of hearing the Joe Lee Dunn questions last week? Was that what led to your exchange of words with Coach West?
"That was private between Tommy and me."
Comment on Auburn.
"You are looking at a team that is very, very physical and has tremendous players on both sides of the football. Without a doubt, they have the best (defensive) front seven that I have seen. They have tremendous team speed. They are very talented at every position."
Were you surprised that Auburn defeated Arkansas at Arkansas this past weekend?
"No. They turned it into a defensive game and let their defense win the game, which they did."
Do you think your team matches up better with Auburn then they did with LSU?
"Against LSU, we made the mistakes, offensively, that led to 21 points. Auburn is a very well-balanced football team, from the kicking game all the way down. I haven't seen too many teams that can line up and knock them off the football. Look at Tennessee, a good running team, they had minus 4 yards rushing against them. To have a chance against them you are going to have to move the football. You have to keep your defense off the field because their offensive line is big and very good."
How about giving an update on injured players, Willie Evans, Kamau Jackson, Michael Heard and Darren Williams.
"Willie Evans is fine. Kamau Jackson and Michael Heard couldn't play (against Vanderbilt) because of the casts they had on. They will, hopefully, get some practice time playing in their casts and, hopefully, play this week. As a defensive lineman, as much as you have to use your hands, it is harder for them than it is for an offensive lineman. (Darren Williams) ran for the trainers this morning and they said he felt better than he has in a long time. Hopefully, we can keep him that way. Last week, on Tuesday, he got stepped on during practice and reinjured his foot. That is why he couldn't play. He should be able to play this week."
You mentioned that Heard and Jackson will have to wear casts. Will they have to wear them the rest of the year or just the next couple of games?
"Usually, they can remove the casts when they take the stitches out. Since they have pins in, they will have to have a cast on until after they take the pins out. Usually, it takes up to four weeks before they can take the pins out."
(Backup offensive lineman) Johnny Wadley played this past weekend. How much do you expect him to play this week?
"Every week you have to be very cautious as to the number of plays you have him in the game because it will take some rest for him to get well. He can't play a whole game but we want to play him because he is a good football player."
How about giving us an update on the play of freshman wide receiver Omarr Conner.
"He made one excellent catch and run and one circus catch Saturday. He is playing quite a few snaps. He played 22 snaps last week even though he didn't get his hands on the ball. He played 28 snaps this past game, 16 runs, 12 passes.
Why did you decide to temporarily move Omarr to wide receiver during the fall?
"We sat down and talked about (playing this year) and he said he wanted to play. I told him he could play receiver and he said fine. Being a receiver will help him as a quarterback because not many quarterbacks have the luxury of knowing why and how to run routes and where the receivers should be and what has to happen to get there."
What kind of chance do you think he has of starting at quarterback next fall?
"You have three of them (Omarr Conner, Kyle York and Aries Nelson) who will compete for the job in the spring. Any player has a chance to win any job."
Did you expect that Blake Jones, when he first walked on, would end up being your starting center for two-plus years?
"Probably not. Blake had some (good) qualities that would give him a chance (to start). He is really a player who overachieves. He gives everything that he has in practice and in the games. I have been very impressed with Blake the last two years because of how he has been able to make all the calls and all the checks.
"(This past Saturday) he had a big, heavy guy on him and played 74 snaps and graded out 75%. He had no missed assignments at all. He had no sacks and no pressures."
Talk about the play and attitude of Fred Reid, a player that could start for some SEC schools.
"He has worked very, very hard. Everytime he practices and everytime he is in a game he gives everything that he has. He really likes it (at MSU) and likes his teammates and they really like him. Good thing happen to kids like that."

We booked this 2 week all inclusive holiday with Thomson approximately 3 weeks before our departure which was on 27th July. For what we paid we thought it was excellent value for money. Yes there were some issues however this didn't detract from us having a wonderful holiday mainly because we made the best of it with some great people that we met. There was a good mix of nationalities, mainly Spanish on their hols from the mainland plus German, Italian, quite a few Russians and of course us Brits (hello to all the gang we met from Manchester).
We agree with the comments that the hotel is nearer to a 3 and not a 4 star. The pool and surrounds ARE small for the numbers of people occupying the hotel and the dining room, particularly at breakfast, can be very busy and cramped. The food seems to be the most contentious issue but to be honest we didn't have any problems. Pork, chicken, turkey, steak, burgers, fish and even "English sausages" were served at different times at the grill station. Queues did build up and hence perhaps some of the under-cooking issues could arise as a result. There are also salads, precooked meals (sometimes with a strange mix of sauces), loads of fresh fruit and other puds. Veggies may need to be careful that what they are eating may not be the same as what it says on the labels, particularly the soups.
The all-inclusive drinks are good, daft beer was changed part way through to San Miguel. Soft drinks, spirits and wine were all very drinkable but not so sure about cocktails.
The staff are great considering the amount of work they do. Bar staff in particular work very hard and try to crack a joke, even closing the bar 2 minutes before they should do at midnight. The irate German banging on the door didn't seem to be amused though. Be warned get there early to stash up your late drinks! As mentioned in a previous review one barman was as miserable as sin. Yes, the grey haired man with glasses. Say Hola and wait for the grunt. We did manage to make him smile on the last day just before coming home!
Our room was on a high floor which had a view of sea and mountains. The room was clean with no sign of any bugs. Not the case late at night in the outdoor seating area. We enjoyed the Elton John tribute and the Charlie Chaplin acts, nothing else to our taste really.
The hotel is well located for Playa Jardin and Loro Parque (10 mins walk) and also the main town about 15 – 20 mins walk away reached by several routes (not very interesting until you reach the centre itself though). The town and hotel were particularly busy at week-ends. Do try to walk around the town centre in the evening as it has totally different atmosphere than during the day.
To all those staff and new friends who played some part in making this a lovely holiday a big THANK YOU.

The Sinfulness Of Sin, by Ralph Venning
We cannot understand the Christian Gospel until we know what sin is. Yet modern secular counsellors urge us to ignore both the word and what it tells us about our rebellion against God and His law. Sadly, the church too often serves as an echo chamber for such cheap and short-sighted wisdom. Its literature spreads the message that all is well, but it is only when we begin to see our sinfulness that we are able to discover God's forgiveness.
Although 'The Sinfulness Of Sin' was written three hundred years ago, it remains an oasis of truth in a desert of lies. First published in the aftermath of the Great Plague of London and entitled 'Sin, The Plague of Plagues', this book gives a crystal-clear explanation of what sin is, why it is so serious, and what we need to do about it. Here is reliable medicine for a fatal epidemic.

text: To enter Blanca, you need to go down the rabbit hole. In this case, that involves trekking out to the Brooklyn artist enclave of Bushwick, entering Roberta\u0027s (Blanca\u0027s big-sister restaurant, which serves some of the best pizza in New York), winding your way through a crowd of tattooed kids to the patio, where a radio show is in progress, past the tiki bar and into the garden, where a Viking-themed hot tub party may be taking place, and, finally, downstairs to the adjacent building. You\u0027ll be seated at the wide counter facing the open kitchen. It may remind you of eating at a sushi bar, an increasingly trendy dining experience that restaurants like fellow Hot 10 pick the Catbird Seat have made their own. What you\u0027re in for is dinner theater at its finest. Over the next three hours, self-taught chef Carlo Mirarchi will send out 28 small courses. When I dined at Blanca, shortly after it opened in April, there wasn\u0027t a single miss. The meal began with several crudo-style dishes—including glass shrimp with celery flower, celery juice, and poppy seeds—each more beautiful than the last. I got a few pastas (the ravioli stuffed with fiery nduja sausage was particularly memorable), and then some of the best meat dishes I\u0027ve had, including the funkiest-tasting dry-aged steak of all time. Each plate is just a couple of bites, ensuring that you\u0027ll be as excited about the last course as you were about the first. After that, it\u0027s back to reality. **

My wife and I first visited the Maui Sunset in 1998, and returned every year since. The Maui Sunset offers a true relaxing atmosphere with access to any activity you may be interested in. After significant searching we located and purchased this beautifully remodelled unit to use and share with our guests. From experience we insisted on a ground floor unit where we can stroll to the pool, watch our kids from the lanai, or socialize without a trip down the elevator. We hope our guests will enjoy our place as much as we have!
Loved my visit to the Maui Sunset. Nice condo, used the BBQ grills, and enjoyed the pool with jacuzzi after a day of island exploring. Fantastic trip and great price for a stay on Maui!
We were very disappointed upon our arrival, this unit has not been maintained and neglected. When we arrived discovered the bed mattress is old, wore out and dips in the middle. The hide a bed is in worse condition the springs are coming through the mattress and some springs been held together by a buggy cord. I contacted the owner upon our arrival in hopes of obtaining a new mattress but received no reply. The unit as a whole was filthy, the fans had approximately quarter to half inch of dust and dirt on them. The air conditioners filters were unbelievably filthy and a/c didn't work properly and also were leaking. The small appliances were dirty and there was no blender in the unit. The bathtub plug didn't work and the bathroom taps made terriblily loud noise. The microwave and oven handles were broken. The patio door was hard to close. The patio furniture is old, hard, and very badly chipped. There was a broken kitchen chair and stains on the rug. The door stop was broken, along with the bathroom door handle( which we had to fix before it fell off) the Murphy bed is nice and mattress comfortable but is dangerous and not suitable for small people or children, because when a person rolls towards the wall the bed folds up. The kitchen drawer front fell off and needed to be fixed. The grounds are amazing and beautiful, BBQs are close by. The beach has a lot of debris on it. The unit had a lot of beach and pool items.
We were extremely disappointed with the condition of this unit upon our arrival, especially when renters pay a damage and cleaning fee.
This condo has all the necessities with some nice upgrades like new carpet and a handy single Murphy bed. Beautiful landscaped lawn just out the door and moments to the pool and beach. Perfect with our little guy who could stretch his legs whenever needed. Lots of goodies for beach use, games for the evening and close to the core of Kihei while in a quiet neighbourhood. We don't need a fancy place - but a place that is comfortable and accommodating - and this was the ticket. Thanks Marc for answering all of our questions quickly too.
We stayed at Maui Sunset for 2 weeks in late November . The condo has everything you need, reasonably priced,great location, quiet, nice pool and grounds. You can be standing ocean front in 5 minutes. We would stay again. Thx Marc for letting us enjoy your piece of Paradise.....
Maui Sunset is one of our favorite places to stay in Kihei. This unit has everything you will need. The owner is quick to respond to any questions you may have before booking and has this unit priced great. We had a great time, Thanks!

Supreme Court Rules Against Grokster
Hollywood scored a major victory yesterday on the news that the Supreme Court has found that file swapping services can be held liable for copyright infringements. The Supreme Court found that MGM Studios could sue Grokster and StreamCast Networks, developer of the Morpheus file swapping software. In an opinion written by Justice Souter, the court said that a one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties. The ruling clears the way for a trial in the lower courts. The victory is expected to spur even faster adoption of legal audio and video download services such as Apple's iTunes, Los Angeles-based Napster's music download service, and Yahoo's Los Angeles based music download services.

|Battle of Zharrus
|August 2200
|Zharrus System, Perseus Arm
| -- Decisive Unity victory
-- End of Urilian control over the Perseus Arm
The Battle of Zharrus, also known as the Battle of the Millennia and the Battle for the Perseus Arm, was a titanic battle of the War of the Yellow Cluster and its most climactic and defining moment. Emperor Eridakas, hoping to rally most of the Urilian navy and destroy the Unity's navy in a single decisive battle and ensure continued control over their sector of the Perseus Arm, led over 1,300 ships into a fight that led to a severe Urilian defeat. It has since been recognized as one of the largest and most important battles in galactic history. It is similarly recognized as a masterpiece of tactical brilliance and as Imperial Admiral Ta'acun's greatest victory.
The Urilian Empire had already suffered several setbacks in various defeats and stalemates in most major previous battles, and so Eridakas hoped to bring the bulk of the Imperial Navy to bear against the Unity invasion fleet, defeating them in a decisive battle that would force them to sue for peace and thereby forfeit their claims on Urilian territory along the Perseus Arm. Urilian Grand Admiral Kilozhun commanded the bulk of the Urilian fleet in the early stages of the battle, managing to defeat Ta'acun's scouting force and putting his ships in a position to ambush him; but at the critical moment, Eridakas seized command of the fleet, charging headlong into battle and therefore forfeiting the initiative. Confused commands to his lower-ranking officers meant that the fleet remained disorganized for a large portion of the battle, allowing Ta'acun the upper hand. After several hours of close-quarter melee, the spent Urilian fleet withdrew, having lost up to almost half of its ships.

Winnie Johnson-Marquart Net Worth
Winnie Johnson-Marquart net worth: Winnie Johnson-Marquart is an American businesswoman who has an estimated net worth of $2.8 billion dollars. Currently based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Winnie Johnson-Marquart is the great-great granddaughter of Samuel Curtis Johnson, the founder of S.C. Johnson & Son. She graduated from Cornell University. Attending the college is a family tradition. She is the only member of the family that does not live year round in Racine, Virginia, where S.C. Johnson is based. She is the current president of the Johnson Family Foundation, a charitable organization. She keeps a very low profile in comparison to other family members. Recently, the Johnson family has found themselves the subject of a great deal of unwanted press, after Curtis Johnson, III, was charged with sex crimes against a child in 2011. He pled not guilty, and the trial is currently on hold. The case has altered the way the Johnson family is viewed in Racine.

three weeks and DONE
Warning: This is mainly a venting and letting-it-go release post. It relates to sewing only because my precious sewing magazines, patterns, and books once sat on this bookshelf but other than that is it the story (well, stories) of Cathy vs. Nature. Casualties ahead and no sewing talk, you've been warned.
When declaring war on critters in Ouidah… admit defeat. You can't and won't win. You are outnumbered – it's humid and hot here and you are surrounded no matter how much you try to get rid of them. Shoo away one and five more appear. So either accept them, or silently countdown three weeks until you can run away on a plane and never deal with them ever again!! HOORAY!!!
Basically, many months ago, I discovered pyramids of wood dust in my bookshelf.
When I emptied out my bookshelf and looked underneath… horrors. I took it outside, and underneath the heat of the sun, those beetles crawled out of their holes in my bookshelf and all died. Win!!! Win!!! Or so I thought…
When I brought it back inside… a few days later… more pyramids. Sigh. I told myself "only 6 more months, whatever, I don't care, they don't really bother me… they're just a few… not a lot… I'll just ignore them…"
And ignore them I did. Every few days I had to sweep up a dead beetle, but that didn't bother me… they were only maybe 5 a week. That is okay, I can live with that.
Until one day I snapped. With only six weeks to go, so close to the finish line of where I could hop on a plane and leave this bookshelf behind forever and escape the need to deal with this problem… I snapped. I think a lizard got into the shelf and started making noises, which made me think that the noises were the beetles munching on wood and so I emptied out my bookshelf. And moved it. And underneath it I saw over fifty dead beetles. I snapped. I lost it.
I took the bookshelf outside to finally kill them all.
I immediately hopped on my bike and left to purchase some highly toxic chemicals a neighbor recommended (nitrosomething cellusomething?), grabbed a paint brush, and proceeded to douse my shelf in the stuff in an attempt to kill all the beetles. Look, here is one coming up for air! Success! CRUNCH. That's the sound of me pinching it between my fingers to make sure it doesn't crawl back into my bookshelf. Murder was the only thing on my mind.
Look at the poor refugees that had to temporarily live on my table while I dealt with the bookshelf problem.
A cleaned corner, hooray! A fresh start, with a bookshelf with no beetles! Hooray! I would finally have a a few weeks of peace peace because I had just annihilated an entire population of bookshelf beetles!
Except. Three days later. What. WHAT. My mind was blown. My bookshelf stank for a good 72 hours!! You couldn't breathe around it, that's how badly it smelled after I painted the layers of supposedly-magic-beetle-killing-liquid on it! Why are there more dust piles?? The sad truth is: I lost. The beetles won. They lived and were back to eating wood and making babies. Fine. They can have the bookshelf. At this point I did the only thing I could think of: grab a calendar and count the number of days left before I move out of this house.
I've got three more weeks here. And as the dust piles keep accumulating (sigh…) the number of days I have left here decrease and I can finally say goodbye to the beetles. Three weeks and DONE.
Since I started, I might as well finish my complaints about other critters. Let's talk about ants. I cannot eat on my table. That's right. For the last 10 months all my meals at home have been eaten on my lap. All my meals have to be eaten in one bowl because to have more than one means I have to set the second one down… and I can't do that. And that's because my dining/sewing table is infested with mini ants. A drop of water or anything edible is all it takes for them to come out and swarm my stuff. They don't bite or anything, just eat.
I let them be because it's a lose lose situation if I spray my table with insecticide. Since it's a table I eat off of it, killing the ants would mean that I would just ingest the chemicals later and have terrible tasting food. As well as inhaling the stuff since I am always next to this table. Better to let the ants have the table, and stick to my lap for a dinner table. However, three more works and I'll be free of them! I can't wait to set my plate down on a table, put a glass of water next to it, even, gasp, set my forks and spoons on the table too – without it becoming covered by 100 ants in 30 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! CAN YOU SENSE MY EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I have to say, one of my favorite things to do is that whenever I press fabric or apply interfacing… is to kill an ant with an iron on high heat.) Three weeks and DONE.
I'm also sick of these strange furry black caterpillars that would sting you if ever it touched your skin. And then when you kill it, it explodes into a glob of black liquid which was always a pain to clean up. It was no "pick up and toss in the trash" job with these guys – wet rag and scrubbing is what I had to do each time I killed one of these. SIGH so much work. Three weeks and DONE.
The lizards/geckos/salamanders I was okay with. They loved to do push ups and poop in my kitchen… but they did help keep the insect population down. However helpful they were, I am done with lizard poop on my stove, in my pots and pan, on my soap, in my buckets….
I am also done with them just hanging out in my wall in the shower, watching me as I take my heated bucket shower. Like… can't you hang out here when I'm at CIAMO? When I'm sewing? When I am watching Mad Men? I am cool with you living and pooping in my shower/kitchen, but please, don't stare at me when I'm in the shower. That just isn't polite. Three weeks and DONE.
During rainy season, I had another visitor I didn't mind so much. There is a catch to a great sunrise…
…the snail. For about two months, they would be found every morning in my kitchen and outside my door and on my plants – anywhere nice and dewy.
I didn't mind them because they didn't do anything. What I hate about insects is the scurrying around and chasing and bzzzzzzing. But snails? They're just there, doing nothing. All I did was pluck 'em up and throw them in a bucket outside.
You see, my neighbor was collecting the snails so every morning she'd go around the courtyard searching them out and then trapping them in this bucket.
These weren't tiny snails, by the way.
Uhh… in any case… I'm not counting down the days for my au revoir with the snails because I've actually been done with them for a while now. It's just taken me a while to write about them. You see, rainy season ended about a month ago and we entered a mini hot season – no more snails. The other reason is that my neighbor threw all those snails from the bucket into a pot of hot water and boiled them to death…
Proof that Benin is a former French colony. They eat the snails!! They fry 'em and throw in oil and eat it with bread! They made me try some. By some I mean one. Hey, the snails were free – cheapest meal yet I think for my neighbors.
It wasn't just my neighbor – it was everybody in Ouidah that collected snails during rainy season. Here are my students collecting snails from the street drains for a tasty supper later.
The ONLY non human I am NOT counting down the days for is Bosco. All other critters I could care less about. But not Bosco. Even if he is MOST UNHELPFUL with my insect issue.
While I'm busy battling things with 6+ legs, he just snoozes! What a dog. Bosco, couldn't you help me out a little bit with my bug problems?
PS: Also on my DONE list are: roaches, mice, microscopic worms, scorpions, huge flying things that shed their wings, spiders, ticks, mayflies, crickets, mystery red velvet thing, gnats, flies, fruit flies, crickets, and mosquitos – all things I've had to deal with at Hotel Cathy but I won't write that novel here.
In all honesty it's not as bad as I make it sound. All it takes is some adjusting – but I'm just looking forward to taking a break from scanning all walls and surfaces 24/7 in anticipation for something that will hop, fly, or scurry away/towards me. It's the element of surprise that bothers me most, not the insects themselves.
Back to sewing now! Here's a random Ouidah sunset. Sunsets are great at making me forget about things that bother me – they wipe the slate clean. Insects, what insects?

I've got a dept of 5 IT staff,, 2 support desk staff and 3 other developers.
In order for everyone to access the helpdesk, I believe I have to set them up with user accounts, and as Admin. Is that right?
The query, is I want to get e-mail notification of new tickets to the two support desk staff, and so I switch on the Alert for those two users. The other three staff don't need to be notified of new/changed tickets, so I leave the alert off.
Now, if one of the support staff, assigns a ticket to one of the other three staff, will it send them a notification if they have the alert off?
I guess i'm asking is it possible to have 2 users alerted on new and changed tickets, and the other 3 users alerted only if something is assigned to them?
This topic was created during version 4.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

yes it is possible by using thehelpdesk setting to configure who receives what in terms of tickets, go to settings, helpdesk settings, and you can select for example an assigned admin to be notified when a ticket is assigned to them etc.
hope this helps
Dec 10, 2009 at 8:46 UTC
one other thing you must have the notify me ticked for each user in the user settings otherwise email notifications wont work, but you can edit it as above to filter what you want them to receive so in answer to ur first question no they wont receive a notification email if you have the alert off.
Dec 10, 2009 at 8:56 UTC
Problem with that looks to be;
In the helpdesk settings, the only option for "Ticket is Opened" is "All Admins".
I don't want all admins to be notified of new tickets, just the two support desk admins. Then if they assign a ticket, notify the admin it's been assigned to.
Dec 10, 2009 at 9:07 UTC
i see what you mean i understand what you are trying to achieve, maybe there is the info you need in this:
have a read of the chart at the bottom and play around with the notification settings, it is definately where you need to set it. When a ticket is created is it the admins that are doing this, how is a ticket created? do you have it set so that your users send an email to a dedicated email address and this creates a ticket?
Dec 10, 2009 at 9:22 UTC
Thanks Chris,
Once it's set up, users will be able to send tickets via email to a dedicated mailbox, or via the portal.
At the moment, the two support users check an exchange mailbox manually, and the other three developers look at it there's something the support staff need help with.
I'd rather not have to bother the 3 developers with notifications of every new ticket if I can avoid it. But would like them to know if a ticket has been passed to them.
I'll take a look at that link and see if there's anything in there.
Dec 10, 2009 at 9:33 UTC
well if i read that correctly, the way you have it set now you could turn off the notify all admins when a ticket is created within the helpdesk settings, and the support staff can assign the ticket to the developers when they check the exchange mailbox and they will get the notification, but i dont think you can stop it from sending out a notification to all admins when a ticket is opened it would be good if you could choose the admins it sent the email to might be worth a feature request to spiceworks
Dec 10, 2009 at 9:43 UTC
I think spiceworks uses web access to check for mail, and strips the mail from the mailbox out into spiceworks. So when we go live with it, we won't have anything in the mailbox for them to check.
I may just trn off their "alert" and just assign the tickets to the support guys, and then maybe just forward the ticket e-mail to them. Or just shout and get them to check spiceworks.
It would be nice if, in a future release, we could choose which users/admins to alert to new/assigned tickets.
Dec 10, 2009 at 9:48 UTC
sounds like a plan, and it is a very good idea, so submit a feature request i reckon is worth a shout. You could be clever and set a rule up withing the developers outlook so that if an email with new request in the subject is sent to them it is permanetly deleted that way they would never get the email, dirty fix though?!!!
Dec 10, 2009 at 9:54 UTC
I'll look for how to submit the request. I like your quick fix of deleting the new ticket e-mail rule. It's going to be the easiest way to go about it I think.
Dec 10, 2009 at 11:23 UTC
There is an assignment notification you can set that will notifiy the assigned admin that the ticket was assigned. (Did I say assigned enough?).
In version 4.5 you'll be able to create custom views for your helpdesk window so the admins can see only what they'll need/want to see.
Dec 10, 2009 at 11:31 UTC
There is an assignment notification you can set that will notifiy the assigned admin that the ticket was assigned. (Did I say assigned enough?).
Yeah, and that one is on, and works fine.
The problem is the only notification for "Ticket is opened" is "All Admins".
Meaning either every 'alerted' admin gets it, or every 'alerted' admin doesn't.
Dec 10, 2009 at 11:39 UTC
Ah, didn't catch that part. I get it now.
Dec 10, 2009 at 11:53 UTC
I did read somewhere that currenly there isn't any support or method (unless the plugin above might) to create a tiered helpdesk but there is developement in the works to make that a possibility in future releases.
Dec 11, 2009 at 3:08 UTC
I'll look for how to submit the request. I like your quick fix of deleting the new ticket e-mail rule. It's going to be the easiest way to go about it I think.
For the time being it is probably your best bet i reckon, and will work well enough so you can still have the support staff get the notifications, good old email rule setups!!
