VirtueMart Full Category List Menu
The output is modeled on the Tree List output of the extended menu joomla module (like the "Flat List" output of the default Joomla menu module). The list could be styled, for example, like the Son of Suckerfish css dropdown menu or as a site map. It is comparable to the Phoca VirtueMart Category List Module, though this module is not limited to only the root categories.
Release notes for version 1.2.0 (2012-07-26):
• The module is now VirtueMart 2.x and Joomla 2.x compatible
• Added a much-requested feature to make it possible to filter the menu by the current category, so that the menu can "follow" the user as they drill down through your web shop's categories
For version 1.1.1c (2012-01-30):
• Very minor update: added category ID into CSS class for links so they can be individually styled if necessary
For version 1.1.1 (2010-05-25):
• Minor update: added parameter to select a category to display (w. subcategories, if applicable), and fixed a very small bug in the helper functions.
• A couple minor fixes (see changelog)
For version 1.1.0 (2010-04-27):
• SEF url support has been improved (uses very robust logic to determine the best Itemid to use for each link, which is what determines how your SEF urls will appear).
• The module has been refactored to use the standard J!1.5 MVC structure, and the html it outputs can now be overridden by a template output override.
• New features of this version include the option to control what levels the menu displays (i.e., top-level only, 2nd to 3rd level, etc).
for executing it still need some files which are only present in the older version of virtuemart.
This module need the virtuemart_parser.php which is not present in new versions of virtuemart.
The module is not compatible with VirtueMart 2.x, though it is fully compatible with VirtueMart 1.x. I am sorry that in your opinion, this fact means that the quality of the module is worth 1 star. I disagree, of course. Instead, I would encourage you to use the support information on my website to get in touch with me and let me know if you have a problem or question about the module, particularly with any specific suggestions, like removing the module's dependency on a particular file.
if you have more categories, in the second level of virtuemart categories it shows just the menu of the first category..
tring to get support since 1 month but no answer..
I'm sorry you had trouble with the module. The latest version is both more stable and offers more parameters to control how the module outputs your shop's categories, and may solve any issues you have.
Also, I must acknowledge that I am not always able to offer support for this entirely free and open-source module. I am careful to respond to email support requests when I am not too overwhelmed by my actual job, but I cannot promise consistency. So it goes with small freely offered open-source pieces of software like this one.
Only thing missing is folding sub-categories. Can be fixed with a bit of css, but would be nice if it was right there, ideally as an option.
Thank you!
I see it is still in development, maybe you can implement the future to follow the path the customer is following. So when on the homepage only show the categories. Then when going to the categorypage with the subcategories, the module will show the subcategories from that particular category as well! Now you only have the option to show all or none of the subcategories.
But thanks for the nice module!
Install, choose title and style and enjoy :).
Thanks for the feedback! Look for a new version to come out with a few helpful new parameters in the next week.

Do you have fish-shaped soy sauce at your local Sushi shop?
Hi, I'm wondering if countries outside of Australia and Asia have these little fish-shaped soy sauce containers? I'm presently doing an illustration of a Makizushi (Sushi Roll) holding one of them for a product that may be sold in USA, Europe and other regions. I can't really include the said container unless it's internationally recognisable. Any comments would be most helpful.
Thank you,
Check Amazon and eBay. I've found them many places online, do a Google search for them. You'll probably get enough hits to find your life's dream where it comes to Japanese wonderful accessories.
The household supply section of small Japanese grocery stores (I am in Southern California) sell a three pack of those fish shape containers- empty. There is a small funnel also in the package. I assume you fill the container and carry with your lunch.
Have never seen any filled ones sold or available at sushi shops or to-go counters.
re: ricepad
I'm also in the Bay Area and have purchased them (empty) at Daiso in Cupertino, near Marukai. They're in a section that includes lots of bento supplies.
re: 2m8ohed
Yeah, I should have been more specific in my response. I have never seen those in commercial application (that is, restaurant/food stall take out) outside of Japan. I have seen them in stores (empty).
re: ricepad
I remember seeing these when I was a little kid, but I don't remember where. I use to live in Hong Kong, and they weren't there. (to go sushi and 30C heat doesn't mix anyway.) I live in the SF Bay Area now, and here we have the ketchup packet copycats.
Maybe it was on the East Coast, or on United Airlines.
In the UK, they always seem to accompany sushi sold in supermarkets, so I assume they're pretty well recognised here (at least in the context of folk who buy sushi in supermarkets)
re: Bacardi1
I was so enamored, I did a brief websearch & did find a link for a company that sells them:
(While searching for the above, there was also a site selling - ahem - "phallic-shaped" soy sauce dispensers, for anyone here with the eccentricity to want to use something like that at their next sushi party - lol! But you're going to have to search for that on your own. I'M not providing the link - lol!!!!)
We have them widely available in the Seattle area, but then again, we also have a large Japanese population. I saw them just the other day at our university bookstore in the doodad and novelties section. They are not generally distributed by sushi restaurants filled with soy sauce though-- just empty for filling at home.
Never seen them in the US, so I am afraid that they probably would not be recognizable in your video. I also imagine people would focus on the cute container instead of your presentation, which would be a shame.
I've seen them in Australia, but mostly in the U.S. soy sauce somes in little packets. Shame -- the fishies are neater and much cuter! :)
I do think they're available in some areas in the U.S. -- I recall seeing an American bento blog that recommended saving them to use in your bento lunches.
re: LauraGrace
They *are* cute.
re: pippimac
Thank you everyone for your comments. As you all realised (and I forgot to mention) I was talking about pre-filled take-away containers. I can't remember NOT getting them with Sushi in Australia. They are pretty much the best thing ever. Seems like I'll have to think of a work-around for my illustration. I'd be interested to hear if anyone's seen them in Europe too...?
re: Jamien
They have them in the UK, many of the sushi chains will give them away with their boxed sushi. Not sure about the continent though.
Also in NZ they are common.
re: Jamien
Yes, as my post upthread on 11/6, we have them in the United Kingdom part of Europe.
re: Jamien
You might consider using one that's shaped like a little bottle, or just a rectangular block. It would be less distracting for people who haven't seen this sort of container before. Shame about the cute factor, though!
They were pretty common in Hawaii when I was a kid, but I haven't seen them on the mainland US. The Kikkoman foil packets are more common here.

The reunion of The Jesus and Mary Chain now takes its biggest upturn, a new album in 9 years. The recording plan is pretty fresh that no detail regarding when or where is released.
One thing for sure, this album plan came up after a good rhythm of recent reunion gigs. "The reunion is not necessarily about any nostalgia trip," vocalist Jim Reid said. "There will be a new record, otherwise there wouldn't be any point to reforming."
The brothers Jim and William Reid reunited on stage the first time at California's Coachella Festival last April and has been appearing in a number of shows after that.

(WIBW) - Memorial services are set for a Shawnee Heights student who lost her life to a sudden virus.
A visitation for 15-year-old Lexie Salmon will be held from 4 to 8 pm Tuesday at Wanamaker Woods Church of the Nazarene. Funeral services are 11 am Wednesday at the church.
Memorial contributions can be made to Children's Mercy Hospital for a future health center or preservation of the original chapel or to Helping Hands Humane Society.
Salmon died Wednesday night. She'd been hospitalized a week with a sudden virus that doctors say was attacking her organs, destroying her liver to the point she needed a transplant. The softball player had just completed her sophomore year at Shawnee Heights High School.

Brains & Gangsters on KLRU Q 11/24
Here's a quick look at what's happening Monday, November 24, on KLRU-Q:
8 pm:
Jimmy Moran is found guilty of badly injuring a woman during a robbery. In the sentencing phase of the trial, Judge Rakoff hears arguments from the court-appointed psychiatrist, the attorneys, the victim's husband and Jimmy himself. Meanwhile, Alan Alda discovers how neuroscience is already influencing the sentencing of defendants – especially young defendants – by revealing how the immature teenage brain is vulnerable to foolish and impulsive acts. Before Judge Rakoff pronounces Jimmy's sentence, Alda meets a judge who has volunteered to have his own brain probed as he makes sentencing decisions. This episode of Brains on Trial with Alan Alda focuses on the sentence phase of Moran's trial. We investigate Moran's brain and look into what factors could have played into pulling the trigger.
9 pm:
The mention of Al Capone's name sparks images of pinstripe suits and ruthless murders. More than 80 years after the height of his power, Al Capone: Icon explores Capone's enduring impact on American culture and learn why people are still so fascinated by this celebrity gangster.
10 pm:
The prison island of Alcatraz is one of the country's most complicated, terrifying and mysterious landmarks. "The Rock" was the notorious spot where the government put "the worst of the worst" prisoners, infamous criminals such as Machine Gun Kelly and Al Capone. Although it was closed in 1963, the island still holds the public's imagination, becoming the destination site for thousands of tourists and the setting for feature films (The Rock, Escape from Alcatraz) and television series (Alcatraz). Return to Alcatraz is a wide-ranging documentary that traces the roots of the "Battle of Alcatraz" in 1946 – when the military was called in to crush a prison riot – as well as portraits of those who served time there. The program reveals the compelling story of convicted atomic spy Morton Sobell; the true, frightening tale of Robert Stroud – the "Birdman of Alcatraz"; and the real-life account of the 1962 "Escape from Alcatraz."
KLRU Q is broadcast channel 18.3. It is also available to digital cable subscribers of Grande on 284 and Time Warner on 20.

American Graduate: Goodwill School Puts Adult Drop-outs Back on Track
The Goodwill Excel Center, which opened its doors in August, is a regular charter high school – except its students are adults, aged 19-50, who dropped out of high school. They teach all of the traditional high school courses, with students picking up where they left off.
Many people who drop out of high school eventually earn their GED, but Head of School Dr. Billy Harden says there is a big difference in earning potential between a GED and a regular high school diploma.
"We're looking at possibly anywhere in the range of a $2,000 to $9,000 difference if a student gets their high school diploma," Dr. Harden said. "I'm already seeing it changing their lives. I'm seeing more of our students coming each day and the learning is becoming more intrinsic. It's starting to look and feel like a way to empower themselves. So, they not only have the ability to say 'I have my high school diploma, but I'm a little smarter than I was when I got here,' and I think that's very important."
We spoke to Matilda Zamarripa, who dropped out her senior year of high school. Matilda has worked successfully in the beauty industry for almost 20 years but has always wanted to earn her high school diploma.
"You kind of carry that little secret around. Like oh, I've never finished," Matilda said. "My daughter definitely inspired me when she was graduating high school. Going to her graduation two years ago reminded me like 'wow, I never got to experience this' but I got to experience it through her. She's now on her second year at Texas State University and that really inspired me you know, I really want[ed] to go back to school."
You can hear more about Matilda and the Goodwill Excel Center in the video above.
A shortened version of this story will air locally as a KLRU News Briefs during PBS NewsHour Weekend, Sunday, November 23 at 6:30pm. Do you have an American Graduate story idea? We'd love to hear from you. Email us at email@example.com, post a comment, or tweet at us using #amgradtx.

About The Owner
As soon as we came to the Rincon area, it just felt 'right'. We vacationed here several times a year for a few years each time looking for our own perfect vacation home. Close enough to everything but far enough not to deal with the crowds all the time. We love the ocean especially after spending our summers living in Montauk for over 25 years. We knew we wanted to spend our winters in the same type of friendly ocean area atmosphere.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2005

Historical soil contamination within a 3 km radius of a former ore treatment plant was evaluated. A total of 247 topsoil samples were collected in a stratified random sampling design taking into account three factors: land use (LU), soil type (ST) and wind direction (WD). Concentrations of trace elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) and major elements (Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Al, Mn) as well as various soil properties (pHwater, pHKCl, TOC and N) were measured. Total Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations were higher than typical background values. Enrichment factors for these three metals were, respectively, 260, 77.4 and 35.5. Principal components analysis (PCA) and factor analysis segregated anthropogenic contamination as a premier factor in influencing concentrations, followed by a second lithogenic factor. The anthropogenic origin of substantial contamination was confirmed though mapping of sample locations relative to contaminant sources. Factor 1 (26.5% of the variance) impacts a large area around the contaminated site and is also indicative of WD influence. Factor 2 (23.9% of the variance) is naturally linked to the local lithology and geology. LU and soil fertility are, respectively, represented by factor 3 (16.5% of the variance), which is linked to pH, and factor 4 (9.3% of the variance), related to organic content. The significance of landscape factors in the spatial distribution of metallic trace elements (MTE) was assessed with an ANCOVA using "distance to the source" as a covariate. Results of the analysis support the hypothesis that Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations are mainly driven by anthropogenic factors, specifically historical industrial activity at the former ore treatment plant. The ANCOVA also provides a means to quantify the impact of LU and ST as well, particularly on MTE availability in soils. The presence of MTE in soil poses known, and potentially significant, risks to both human health and the environment. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 15 (4 ULg)

La fertilité d'un sol conditionne la productivité des plantes, c'est pourquoi il est intéressant de connaitre la distribution des caractéristiques chimiques et morphologiques du sol afin de permettre une exploitation et une gestion optimales de celui-ci. Un versant forestier, en pente forte (140m de long, 40m de dénivelée), sur matériaux schisto-gréseux et sous une plantation de résineux fait l'objet d'un suivi du fonctionnement hydrodynamique et pédochimique en relation avec le développement des arbres. Au vu du contexte de forte pente, nous suspectons la présence d'apports par solifluction. La position dans le versant est souvent un facteur de différenciation des sols et, en préalable à l'étude de l'évolution temporelle des propriétés des sols et de la végétation et de l'évolution spatiale des flux d'eau, nous nous sommes attachés à la caractérisation de la distribution des propriétés morphologiques et chimiques le long du versant. Huit fosses ont été creusées et échantillonnées selon les horizons. Outre les descriptions selon un protocole standardisé, nous avons effectué des comptages racinaires, des mesures de densité apparente et de charge caillouteuse. Les analyses en laboratoire visent la caractérisation du statut nutritif : pH, teneurs échangeables (NH4Cl) en K, Mg, Na et Ca, et P assimilable (Dyer). Les résultats confirment l'importance de la différenciation verticale au sein des profils. On notera également une légère tendance à la hausse du pH et des teneurs en éléments nutritifs entre le haut et le bas du versant, à l'exception du dernier profil de la séquence.

Zinc, lead and cadmium are the main Metallic Trace Elements (MTEs) found in soils contaminated by the mining industry in Europe. MTEs are spread in the environment because of the disruption of biogeochemical cycles caused by human activities. Due to their low mobility and biodegradability, they accumulate in soils where they are strongly bound to particles. It has become necessary to understand interactions between MTEs and the environment and to implement remediation actions. This work is focused on remediation monitoring techniques by using whole cell microbial biosensors able to detect zinc, lead and cadmium. Biosensors provide a signal in response to the bio-available concentration in MTEs, which are valuable for the design of efficient techniques involving bioremediation. Whole cell biosensors used in this work are based on Escherichia coli strains carrying a fluorescent reporter system. The reporter element contains a promoter sensitive to MTEs and a gene coding for the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). MTEs activate the synthesis of GFP, which is a very stable protein, causing the accumulation of GFP inside the cells. Then, fluorescence can be measured by flow cytometry. In this study, two biosensors were investigated: E. coli pPzraPgfp and E. coli pPzntAgfp. The last strain provided a linear response to zinc up to 20 mg/l and a curvilinear response to cadmium up to 0.15 mg/l. No detection was highlighted regarding lead. In practical cases, soils and wastes are contaminated by several types of MTEs. Consequently, combined contaminations were also tested. This work allowed highlighting that the strain E. coli pPzntAgfp can be used to assess the bioavailability of cadmium in soils, although the experimental procedure must be improved. This work is supported by the BioRefine Project, a European project in which various member states focus on recovery of inorganics from organic wastestreams. We gratefully acknowledge the INTERREG IVB NWE programme, which financed the BioRefine Project (ref. 320J-BIOREFINE). [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 19 (0 ULg)

In soils, bacteria are very abundant and diverse. They are involved in various agro-ecosystem processes such as the nitrogen cycle, organic matter degradation, and soil formation. Yet, little is known about the distribution and composition of bacterial communities through the soil profile, particularly in agricultural soils, as most studies have focused only on topsoils or forest and grassland soils. In the present work, we have used bar-coded pyrosequencing analysis of the V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene to analyze bacterial diversity in a profile (depths 10, 25, and 45 cm) of a well-characterized field of winter wheat. Taxonomic assignment was carried out with the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) Classifier program with three bootstrap scores: a main run at 0.80, a confirmation run at 0.99, and a run at 0 to gain information on the unknown bacteria. Our results show that biomass and bacterial quantity and diversity decreased greatly with depth. Depth also had an impact, in terms of relative sequence abundance, on 81 % of the most represented taxonomic ranks, notably the ranks Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteridae, and Acidobacteria. Bacterial community composition differed more strongly between the topsoil (10 and 25 cm) and subsoil (45 cm) than between levels in the topsoil, mainly because of shifts in the carbon, nitrogen, and potassium contents. The subsoil also contained more unknown bacteria, 53.96 % on the average, than did the topsoil, with 42.06 % at 10 cm and 45.59 % at 25 cm. Most of these unknown bacteria seem to belong to Deltaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Rhizobiales, and Acidobacteria. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 27 (8 ULg)

Une cartographie systématique à grande échelle des sols de Belgique a été conduite entre 1947 et 1991. Les observations étaient effectuées au moyen de sondages à la tarière jusqu'à une profondeur standard de 125 cm dans la mesure du possible, avec une densité moyenne de 2 sondages à l'hectare. Des plans cadastraux au 1/5 000 ont servi à noter les observations et à tracer les limites des plages cartographiques, généralisées par la suite par transcription sur fond de carte topographique au 1/10 000. La carte finale a été publiée par planchettes à l'échelle du 1/20 000, associées à des livrets explicatifs. La carte s'appuie sur une légende originale, basée majoritairement sur des critères morphologiques du sol, aisément identifiables sur le terrain, objectifs (sans a priori d'interprétation) et les plus permanents possibles. La combinaison de ces critères, transcrits en symboles alphanumériques, est à l'origine de la très grande richesse sémantique de la légende, forte de plus de 10 000 unités cartographiques de sols. La numérisation de la Carte des Sols de la Belgique et la structuration de l'information délivrée par la légende ont ouvert de nombreuses perspectives en terme d'applications. Mais au-delà du produit final qu'est la carte, le véritable héritage légué est l'extraordinaire connaissance experte accumulée par les cartographes durant la durée du projet. Si une part inestimable de ce savoir s'en est allée en même temps qu'eux, une part tangible est accessible à travers de nombreuses publications (livrets explicatifs, monographies, thèses, articles) ou parsème divers documents d'archive (notes de terrain, PV de réunion, rapports d'excursions). Ces derniers sont également une invitation à se replonger dans le contexte historique, scientifique et philosophique de l'époque des levés. Ils permettent de ce fait de mieux cerner la manière dont la légende a été pensée, élaborée, adaptée, remaniée. L'éclairage que ces publications et documents d'archive donnent sur la carte et sa légende laisse entrevoir une richesse d'information insoupçonnée. Se la réapproprier par une interprétation avertie de la carte est essentiel préalablement à toute valorisation. Cette communication se propose de justifier l'intérêt de cette démarche au travers de multiples exemples. Ils ont été choisis de manière (i) à présenter la diversité des cas rencontrés et (ii) à illustrer l'impact d'une telle interprétation sur la qualité des produits issus de 2 projets menés actuellement : la corrélation de la légende de la Carte des Sols de la Belgique avec le système de classification international World Reference Base et la contribution belge au projet mondial GlobalSoilMap.

The heterogeneity of soil structure and porosity are highly influenced by external factors like tillage systems and other land management approaches. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect of soil tillage along with residue management on the changing pattern of soil structure. This investigation will help to emphasize the different water flow dynamics especially the preferential flow processes through the soil that are influenced by the changes in structural distribution in the soil profile. The experimentation has been started from June 2013 in the research field in Gembloux. Soil profile description together with soil sampling has been carried out in the four objects of land management. Soil samples will be used for the measurement of water retention capacity (done), hydraulic conductivity and x-ray microtomography. The assessment of soil water retention curves with pressure plate technique show significantly (p<0.05) higher water retention (Hwr) in WP than ST at 9.8 to 98 hPa, Hwr in WP than NI at 39 to 14710 hPa, Hwr in ST than NI at 294 to 14710 hPa and Hwr in WP than NO at 69 to 98 hPa. There was no significant difference in the water retention between NO and NI and ST and NO. Since, tillage practices generally increase soil porosity, the correlation between soil hydraulics and porosity distribution would expect to be different for different tillage systems. In our study, WP retains more water due to the increase of macroporosity than ST, NI and NO. As the changes in soil structure are usually noticed in the range of 9.8 to 98 hPa, so, we can conclude that there is certainly structural change between WP and conservation practices of ST, NI and NO. In our study, there will be also soil moisture sensors (Decagon 10HS, 5TM and ML3 Thetaprobe) to capture the total soil moisture networks in the field under four different trials. The soils from the different trials and also from different depths (0-15, 25-30 and 50-60 cm) were used for zone specific calibration of the sensors. All the experiments will be repeated twice a year. For the specific spatio-temporal comparison, the monitoring results from electrical resistance tomography will be available from the collaborated project of the same faculty.

Earthworms are known to play integral roles in soils, and are often referred to as vital soil and ecosystem engineers due to their capacity to influence a wide range of chemical, physical, and biological properties of soil environments. Therefore, it is important to understand how earthworm communities are impacted by tillage systems and crop management practices. In the present study, earthworm and soil samples were collected from wheat cultivated fields in Gembloux, Belgium under the following four experimental treatments: (1) conventional tillage with crop residues left in the soil (CT/IN); (2) conventional tillage with crop residues removed from the field (CT/OUT); (3) reduced tillage with crop residues left in the soil (RT/IN); and (4) reduced tillage with crop residues removed from the field (RT/OUT). The different tillage systems were applied for four consecutive years prior to the initiation of the current study. Results indicated soil compaction was significantly higher in RT compared with CT up to a depth of 6–49 cm. Significant differences were not detected between residue incorporation depth systems, where results showed mean earthworm abundance was respectively 182.25 and 180 individuals.m-2 in CT and RT. Mean earthworm biomass was similarly not significantly different between CT and RT, where results were respectively 48.52 and 57.27 g.m-2. However, a significant difference was observed between IN and OUT treatments, suggesting the exportation of wheat residues will limit earthworm abundance and biomass in CT and RT plots. Data showed high representation of the endogeic earthworm ecological category, notably N. c. caliginosus regardless of treatment. Despite tillage system and exportation of crop residues, N. c. caliginosus, L. terrestris, and A. r. rosea exhibited high abundance, indicating tolerance to soil environmental conditions. For each depth, measures of soil physico-chemical properties showed significant differences among treatments. Furthermore, soil chemical property attributes were significantly higher in the first soil centimetres compared to lower soil layers. These results were attributable to earthworm activity and wheat residues, suggesting earthworms contributed to nutrient dynamics, particularly at increased soil depths. Overall, the results emphasise the influence of exportation of crop residues on earthworm community and also, the important influence of earthworm activity on soil physico-chemical properties change, processes which are closely linked.

Industrial activities have deeply impacted the quality of biophysical environment at places. This review focuses on consequences of soil contaminations by metallic trace elements: what conditions the mobility of contaminants in soils and what are the remediation practices based upon physico-chemical stabilization? This technique is an in situ remediation which aims at limiting the dispersion of metals in the environment by use of soil conditioners and amendments in contaminated sites. First of all, we reviewed the concepts of mobility of trace elements and their indicators. Then, we compiled the different kinds of amendments applied to stabilize contaminants in soils and the processes involved. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 63 (10 ULg)

A systematic soil survey of Belgium was conducted from 1948 to 1991. Field surveys were done at the detailed scale of 1:5000 with the final maps published at a 1:20,000 scale. Soil surveyors were classifying soils in the field according to physical and morphogenetic characteristics such as texture, drainage class and profile development. Mapping units are defined as a combination of these characteristics but to which modifiers can be added such as parent material, stoniness or depth to substrata. Interpretation of the map towards predicting soil properties seems straight forward. Consequently, since the soil map has been digitized, it has been used for e.g. hydrological modelling or for estimating soil organic carbon content at sub-national and national level. Besides the explicit information provided by the legend, a wealth of implicit information is embedded in the map. Based on three cases, we illustrate that by decoding this information, properties pertaining to soil drainage or soil organic carbon content can be assessed more accurately. First, the presence/absence of fragipans affects the soil hydraulic conductivity. Although a dedicated symbol exits for fragipans (suffix "...m"), it is only used explicitly in areas where fragipans are not all that common. In the Belgian Ardennes, where fragipans are common, their occurrence is implicitly implied for various soil types mentioned in explanatory booklets. Second, whenever seasonal or permanent perched water tables were observed, these were indicated by drainage class ".h." or ".i.", respectively. Stagnic properties have been under reported as typical stagnic mottling – i.e. when the surface of soil peds are lighter and/or paler than the more reddish interior – were not distinguished from mottling due to groundwater gley. Still, by combining information on topography and the occurrence of substratum layers, stagnic properties can be inferred. Thirdly, soils with deep anthropogenic enriched organic matter (Anthrosols) are distinguished for their specific profile development (code "..m"). Obviously, when assessing soil organic carbon content these soil types need particular consideration. Soils in the Campine region with anthropogenic layers only 30 to 40 cm thick, not being Anthrosols, got a specific suffix code (". . . 3"). Still, as these soils may have a buried Ah horizon of up to 20 cm, their soil organic carbon content can be comparable to those of Anthrosols. The buried Ah horizon is however not explicitly mapped; its presence needs to be inferred from other environmental information. In conclusion, conventional soil maps convey more information than what transpires from just the explicit legend's semantics. Although a challenge, decoding the implicit information should be particularly useful for spatial modeling. The cases also point to the importance of classifying soil characteristics explicitly, wherever possible, and in particularly when soil maps are integrated into geographical information systems.

Earthworm populations are important decomposers contributing to aggregate formation and nutrient cycling processes involving nitrogen cycles, phosphorus and carbon. They are known to influence soil fertility by participating to important processes in soil such as soil structure regulation and organic matter dynamics. Earthworms also modify the microbial communities through digestion, stimulation and dispersion in casts. Consequently, changes in the activities of earthworm communities, as a result of soil management practices, can also be used as indicators of soil fertility and quality. It is therefore important to understand how earthworm communities affect soil dynamics. This review adresses the current state of knowledge on earthworm's impacts on soil structure and soil organic matter (carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) dynamics, with special emphasis on the effects of land management practices on earthworm communities.

Earthworms are known to increase availability of heavy metals in soils and also play an important role in maintaining the structure and quality of soil. The introduction of earthworms into soils contaminated with metals has been suggested as an aid for phytoremediation processes. In Belgium (Wallonia), a century of industrial metallurgic activities produced significant heavy metal soil pollution. A large q u a n t i t y o f s m e l t e r w a s t e c r e a t e d a g r a d i e n t o f zi n c, lead and cadmium c o n c e n t r a t i o n . The objectives of our study were to evaluate : (i) the potential toxicity of heavy metal elements on the epigeic earthworms Eisenia fetida and on two plants Zea mays and Vicia faba and (ii) to determine the effects of the earthworms on the growth and contaminants phytoextraction process. The combination of behavioural factor measurements (survival, growth, reproduction of earthworms), physico-chemical parameters such as metal absorption, bioaccumulation by earthworms, soil physico-chemical changes, and plant responses (root and shoot elongation, dried biomass,…) provided a valuable indication of pollutant bioavailability and ecotoxicity. After 56-days exposure, the results suggest that adult earthworms have a strong tolerance for heavy metals exposure, but the responses depend on metal elements. Earthworms modify the bioavailable heavy metals in root and shoot in the contaminated soils and their activities alter shoot and root biomass of V. faba and Z. mays. The presence of earthworms led to a change in physico-chemical caracteristics in contaminated soils. These results show that the ecological context for phytoremediation should be broadened by considering earthwom – plant – soil interactions as they influence both plant health and absorption of heavy metals.

Pollution by nitrate and pesticides has impacts on drinking water reserves and aquatic systems. Nowadays, this problem is the key point of the European Policy with the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC). According to these legislations, Member States are supposed to take measures to limit environmental and toxicological effects caused by nitrate and pesticides use. This paper presents three different approaches allowing assessment of diffuse (non-point sources) pollution risks of water resources by nitrate and pesticides. The first approach consists on the interpretation of the geomorphopedological information (geologic substratum type, presence of karst phenomena, soil texture, natural drainage, profile development, type and percent of stoniness, soil thickness, …) provided by the Digital Soil Map of Wallonia. Soil physical characteristics are assessed in terms of soil water percolation/infiltration, runoff, pollutants retention, mineralization, and erosion. Second approach consists on the use of spatially distributed mechanistic models. Nitrate lixiviation from agricultural land to groundwater has been simulated from the SWAT model. Pesticide lixiviation from soil to groundwater has been predicted from the one-dimensional, dynamic, multi-layered model named PEARL (Pesticide Emission Assessment at Regional and Local scales). Model input parameters are mainly extracted from the existing soil physical and physico-chemical, crop and pesticides properties databases. Relevant soil parameters not directly available in existing databases, such as bulk density, hydraulic conductivity, potential evapotranspiration… have been derived from pedotransfers functions. Third approach consists on in situ lixiviation studies by the way of lysimeters. Concentrations measured at the bottom (2 m deep) of lysimeters represent a straight "index of risk" for groundwater and, on the other hand, allow the validation of simulation models used to predict nitrate and pesticides lixiviation risk under different scenarios. The Digital Soil Map of Wallonia, one of the core data source, allows the spatialisation of the predicted lixiviation risk at regional level, providing to the local authorities and the decision makers a tool for the identification of the areas at risk of pollution, where specific monitoring actions and prevention measures for the protection of waters can be implemented.

PVD/RI * October '13 * Open/Closed/Coming Soon
Sorry folks. Was late to this one but, you know, life and stuff...
The Wayland Square Diner, after a brief closure that rumor had it was due to a spat of sorts among the operators, is now reopen.
What else is going on out there?
Mission Newport by the guys from Thames St Kitchen opened at 29 Marlborough St Newport. They make great burgers and their own hot dogs.
The shack at Dutch Harbor is closed for the season. I think their taco cart is still around at the local farmers markets.
According to a recent tweet by In Downcity - "Rosalina is going to be an amazing Italian restaurant and will be opening on Aborn Street, off of Washington Street, and will be neighbors to Gracie's, Birch and Trinity Rep."
I recently heard that the owners of Circe will be opening a dessert-centric restaurant across the street from their location on Weybosett. Not sure of when it will be open or what it will be called.
re: wormwood
i'm happy to report that chilangos IS indeed open again. they took out all the booths and moved/expanded the bar. menu was the same and excellent as always. waitress said they were closed for 6 weeks!
November 6 in the Projo, they are reporting "The Barstow" has open at 800 Allens Ave.
re: jomo9501
My wife and I had brunch there this morning. I thought it was pretty good. I had an omelet with smoked bluefish and other goodies topped with a creme fraiche and a side of Moroccan potatoes. My wife had poached eggs with Serrano ham on some type of bread and finished with a smoked maple hollandaise. Very good, freshly ground coffee. While were there we checked out their lunch and dinner menus. They offer a lot of interesting food with the local flavor thing going on. A little pricy but I'm cheap. $30 for brunch for 2. Was it worth it? For a once in a while thing, yeah, it was worth it. We'll return for at least a lunch and a dinner.
I don't see the neighborhood supporting them that much with it being a largely Portuguese blue collar area. I can't see it being their type of thing but who knows. I think they're going to have to draw in customers from other areas. I hope they make it. It will be a nice addition to the local food scene.
re: tanker64
I was just informed not too far away.
re: Frank Terranova
I heard that a tapas restaurant was going into the old Cuban Revolution space on Valley Street. Owner has several tapas restaurants in Massachusetts
There is a new German restaurant going into the space next to Murray's where there used to be a "gentleman's club" known as the Sportsman Inn.

Ever since Obie O'Brien brought Aldo Colombini to the FFFF convention many years ago, it has been a love affair between Aldo and magic in America. While Aldo can do some of the hardest moves, he has developed a unique style of strong magic with little sleight-of-hand. The kind that is entertaining to watch and fun to perform. None of the material is hard to do, yet will fool any audience, including those hard to please magicians themselves.
It is hard to miss Aldo, both in person (6' 5"), and in magic, because he has written for many magazines, performed and lectured throughout the world for decades, and has produced a staggering amount of magic teaching material. What you will find here are some of his best routines. They are technically perhaps a bit more challenging than his more recent releases, but they are not difficult routines either.
This ebook is beautifully illustrated by Tom Jorgenson. The 60 routines and tricks taught are:

Oracle, Sun and the European Union
Posted by Jean-Pierre Garbani on January 2, 2010

The European Union is very cautious and thorough. Approving the acquisition of Sun by Oracle is a lengthy process where all grievances are examined an judged. Michael Widenius, the "father" of MySQL has been very vocal about the future of MySQL (that he sold to Sun) in an Oracle environment, claiming that Oracle will simply let the product die to maintain the revenue level of the database market. The proof in the pudding, he says, is that Oracle has requested an extension (until January 27, 2010) to present its case in front of the EU commission. For the MySQL camp, it shows that Oracle is worried about the issue.
To me, it shows that Oracle was not prepared to be grilled on this by the EU commission and by its hair splitting approach to all issues. After all, MySQL was already in the hands of a private company (Sun), so what would be the difference?
I can understand that, for Monty Widenius and his cohort MySQL is an important issue. But is it so important when placed against 1) the global database market and heavyweights like IBM and Microsoft and 2) the strategic importance of all other products coming from Sun? Could we really believe that Oracle is so worried about the market gains of MySQL that it actually acquired Sun just to kill it?
The reality is that Oracle has much bigger fishes to fry as shown in the multiple papers written by John Rymer, Stefan Ried and myself on the subject of the Sun acquisition. I just assume that, having been burned once on this by the EU, Oracle is now cautiously preparing a very complete answer on the future of MySQL so that the very important strategic acquisition of Sun is not derailed by a peripheral issue like MySQL.
I would love to read your comments on this.

Homeland Security
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano (file photo)
As the 10th anniversary of the Homeland Security Department approaches, Secretary Janet Napolitano delivered a speech not on the department but on the state of the nation's security -- as she put it, "a story of evolution and progress."
After touching briefly on the history of DHS and immigration reform, Napolitano -- speaking Feb. 26 at the Brookings Institution -- turned to the future of cybersecurity. She called on the public and private sectors to work more effectively in tackling two key challenges: improving real-time information sharing while protecting individual privacy and civil liberties, and promoting adoption of cybersecurity best practices for the nation's core critical infrastructure.
The cyber realm was not a major priority in the early years of DHS but has become one of five core mission areas of the department, Napolitano said. "All of us depend on cyber-controlled systems for energy, communication, transportation and defense," she said. "Over the past four years, we have built and deployed systems to detect intrusions and defend federal cyber networks."
Napolitano also said she remains "cautiously optimistic" that broad cybersecurity legislation will get traction in Congress.
When asked how sequestration will impact DHS, and Napolitano answered after briefly burying her face in her hands in frustration.
"I've been in government service a long time, a long time -- 20 years almost," she. "I have never seen anything like this. It will have to affect our core, critical mission areas. Why? Because of the way it's done, account by account by account, and also because you have to go where the money is. We are a department dependent on personnel, so when we add it up it's the equivalent of, in hours, 5,000 border patrol agents. It means less overtime and ability to hire port officers, so longer lines there. It means really the same at the TSA, so longer lines there."
The long view on security
Before 9/11, Napolitano said, the pre-DHS world encountered several problems: Intelligence failures prevented the U.S. from predicting the attacks, institutional setbacks kept the nation from knowing who the hijackers were, and gaps in the aviation security system allowed terrorists to board planes. Addressing these shortcomings was the driving force behind the creation of DHS 10 years ago, according to the secretary.
"Pre-9/11, our security was reactive and disjointed," she said, adding that there was too much focus on investigation after the fact and not enough prevention.
Napolitano elaborated on the history of DHS, explaining three "phases" of the department. "DHS 1.0" was the immediate post-9/11 period and the early years of the agency. After significant progress since 9/11, the threat landscape was constantly shifting and "DHS 2.0" came into being, addressing al-Qaida and homegrown threats. "DHS 3.0" is the department's current phase, with cybersecurity as one focal point, and an approach "more efficient, risk-based and designed to detect, prevent and respond to a range of threats from terrorist attacks to natural disasters."
"In a world of evolving threats, we can no longer be reactive or isolated," Napolitano said.

Re: Survivor Mafia III: Heroes vs. Villains
Night 2
Great Call
The Villains were out in about in their villainous ways looking for a poor soul to kill. Unfortunately for arguable the best player in NFL history to never have won a Super Bowl, dan_marino, they were after him.
I dont mean any harm, spare me!
errm no, die bitch.
The Mafia tied him to a tree and looked ready to spear him, and of course, kill him, but at the last second, a hero arrived to save the day by fending off all of the Mafia and untying dan_marino from the tree.
In other areas of the island, more killing was about to take place (or not?). Poor CM Dealer was hanging out near the raspberry bush when he heard some ruffling in the leaves.
Susie Dealer:
There was no response, so naturally, he assumed his mind was playing tricks on him.
Not a great call.
Before he knew it, he was clubbed in the back of the head and his life had ended in a matter of seconds.
CM Dealers role
Congratulations, you are
Sandra Diaz-Twine, Good Gone Wrong, Heroes Aligned.
You win the game when all threats to the Heroes have been eliminated.
Sandra was somewhat heroic in her first season, yet somehow, was put on the Villains tribe in the latest edition of Survivor. Sadly, thats going to come back to bite you.
You are the Miller. You appear guilty to investigations because youve been turned into a villainous character even though you never were to begin with. Lmao @ you then.
Sadly, another innocent had fallen.
And with that, the Mafia remained intact, which means only one things the Heroes need to get their affairs in order, and they need to do it quickly if they want any hope of winning this game (cross your fingers I put a spy in this game ;D).
It is now Day 3.
Day 3 has NOT begun. I will inform you when it has.

PHOTOS: Creamer flies in F-16 with Air Force
Paula Creamer flew in an F-16 with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds on Sept. 9 at the Air Force Reserve Base in Pittsburgh. U.S. Air Force Captain Kristin Hubbard accompanied Creamer on the flight. The pair flew over Oakmont Country Club, site of Creamer's victory at the U.S. Women's Open this summer.
Tweeted Creamer after the experience: "That was the best thing I have ever done! I have never had so much fun in my (life)! And I didn't throw up!!!! I pulled 9.1 G's. Greatest thing I have ever done.
"I want to thank all the brave men and women in uniform that protect our freedom everyday. It was an honor to spend a day with some of you."

Defensive tackle Henry Melton reportedly will visit the Seattle Seahawks on Friday. Could the defending Super Bowl champions continue their trend of signing defensive linemen on the cheap?
@EdBouchette: Steelers may have signed NT Cam Thomas, but DE Alex Carrington leaves without a contract.

However much you think you know about football, rest assured that Skip Bayless knows more!
A complete guess, but I suspect it was always going to be one or the other. Sign Cam and let McClendon move to DE or sign Carrington and keep McClendon at NT.

Interstate crash kills two, injures one
Updated On: Feb 23 2014 04:07:07 PM CST
Two people are dead and another remains hospitalized after a violent crash Saturday night.
According to Tennessee Highway Patrol, the crash happened Saturday around 7 p.m. at exit 74, near the Bristol Regional Medical Center.
THP tells us a tractor-trailer heading northbound hit the back of a Toyota Camry, causing both vehicles to cross over two lanes and hit the concrete median.
The driver of the truck, 54-year-old Carl R. Osburn of Princeton, West Virginia, died in the crash.
According to THP, Osburn was ejected and landed in the southbound lanes of Interstate 81. Police believe he was then hit by another car heading southbound.
The driver of that car, 31-year-old Crystal Ward of Louisville, Tennessee, was arrested and charged with driving on a suspended license.
THP says Osburn was killed from the original crash and not the secondary crash.
The driver of the Camry, 81 year old Dennis Dawson of Beckley, West Virginia, died at Bristol Regional Medical Center around 2 a.m. Sunday.
The passenger in the Camry was Dawson's wife, 75-year-old Connie Dawson. We're told she is still in the hospital in critical condition.
Both north and southbound lanes were shut down for several hours after the accident but were reopened around 3 a.m. Sunday.
