Texas fracking critics tour the Eagle Ford as complaints of contamination surface

Texas fracking critics tour the Eagle Ford as complaints of contamination surface Calvin Tillman set out on his weekend tour across South Texas hoping to alert area landowners about the dark side of the growing oil shale boom. Beginning at a Laredo forum packed with local farmers, environmental activists, and industry reps, Tillman worked his way northeast from the Rio Grande, crossing a region teeming with drilling rigs. | 6/22/2011 San Pedro's production of Corpus Christi sings with passion Corpus Christi has created controversy wherever it is performed for its depiction of a homosexual Christ-like figure that participates in a gay marriage. I saw the original production at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 1998. The audience had to pass through a throng of protesters and metal detectors due to bomb threats. | 6/22/2011 Flippin' San Antonio It is not the Alamo story you probably grew up with, but it is not fiction, either. Words are slippery things, they make pictures, and with much telling, become myths. | 6/23/2011 Warped Tour still sucking devotion and sweat from the sneakered set The amount of bodily fluids expended each year by sneakered scenesters is evidence enough of the impressive loyalty to the hodgepodge of bands and Warped Tour itself. But do not get it twisted. It is bigger than a freak show, more than mindless radio, and smarter than those who stereotype it. | 6/22/2011 Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life roots itself in grief and touches the stars The Tree of Life Writ. and dir.

WasteWater System: Small Gray Water Recycle Treatment System

To treat and reuse back the recovered non-portable water as a source to flush toilets and urinals. Quite a number of small on-site self-contained facilities are developed and built on new commercial buildings and even in unsewered areas in remote locations with small communities, these are seen as a viable option for long term wastewater solution. Recycling also provides an option to deal with problems related to fresh clean water supply shortage. Treatment of gray water which is termed as the wastewater coming from household fixtures and appliances except for toilet discharge, will often pose a challenge because sometimes presence of soap and laundry detergents that act as natural emulsifier to form emulsion with oils and fats will cause difficulty in processing steps. Normally in a small on-site system, there are 4 main treatment stages involved before the water can be reused back. First of all, septic tank is needed whereby the main constituents like solids and trash have to be removed. Next after the separation has taken place, the water is diverted to a biological treatment vessel so that aerobic breakdown of organic components can take place and degrade the material. Supply of sufficient air to create high dissolved oxygen condition is nevertheless the most important aspect here and the presence of aerobic bacteria has to be maintained in the right amount by periodically removing the waste sludge buildup. This is similar to a normal suspended growth biological treatment process. After the gray water has undergone this crucial stage, it will be diverted to another separate processing unit whereby normally a self-cleaning ultrafiltration system is put in place to remove the carry over of bacteria and microorganisms from the biological step. Apart from that, the aim of setting up this unit is also to get rid of residual solids so that the water is free from all the contaminants. In the last and final stage, normally there is combined system comprising of an activated carbon vessel plus an ozone disinfection facility to polish and kill off the harmful microorganisms that might still be present so that the water is safe for reuse.
