Septic Tanks For Dummies
Septic tanks have caught the attention of home builders in Marion County. In order to aid the homeowners in understanding the importance of septic tanks, the county’s Chief Sanitarian produced an article which discusses the basic facts about septic tanks. The article aims to educate the curious residents on septic tanks so that they may develop the correct expectations. A septic tank serves to provide for a sanitary sewerage system in rural areas and new subdivisions. Installation of a septic tank requires the set up of a filter bed or a tile disposal field where waste matter can be disposed.
The dark grey color of fresh sewage gives away the fact that it is not soapy water but that it is actually the dirtiest pool of water ever. Solid effluent constitutes about one pound for every 150 gallon amount of sewage. Of these solids, about one half is mineral and the other half vegetable and animal matter. A forty percent suspension, which settles over time, is produced alongside a sixty percent solution after the decomposition of vegetable and animal matter has taken place. Our water tanks article is further discussed at water tanks.
The biggest problem in sewage systems is the disposal of the effluent water: both the parts that settles and don’t settle. A septic tank acts as a chamber that speeds up the natural decomposition process and this is where sewage is delivered. The heavier components of sewage sink to the base of the tank and decomposition begins while the lighter components rise to the top and create scum.
Credits for the disintegration and decomposition that occur in septic tanks go to the aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. They attack the organic solids and break them up into liquids and gases. A certain amount of waste matter cannot be decomposed so it forms sludge at the base of the tank instead. The action of bacteria is vital to the function of a septic tank. Chemicals that are flushed into the tank hinder the decomposing activity of the bacteria. Consequently, it is not good practice to use lye and various other preparations to open clogged drains.
Balancing the level of sewage liquid in the tank is not an issue because the right amount of liquid is evacuated in the presence of new sewage. The bottom of the tank is where the fresh sewage is directed through the help of a baffle at the inlet of the tank. This allows fresh sewage to decompose in time and not be discharged immediately and also to keep the scum settled. This purpose is easily achieved through the combined efforts of both baffles at the inlet and outlet of the tank. Visit water tank sydney for more information on water tanks.
Although the discharged effluent has most of the solid matter removed, it is far from pure and has an offensive odor. Rain pipes should never be connected to septic tanks. A 500 gallon septic tank would be able to serve a two bedroom home effectively. Larger houses need tanks with a bigger capacity, that is why 1000 gallon septic tanks are suggested. Once every three years, a septic tank must be cleaned out in order to ensure the production of good results.
Thought Of The Day
For someone who has just started at woodworking should always consider finding and using easy carpentry plans. One should always have an easy plan to pursue his woodwork hobby. When the plan is sketchy or hard to read they might get confused and lost thus botching the project.
If the woodworking plan is not up to standard it will create problem for the person using it. The woodworker might get so frustrated he may be ready to quit or may make costly mistakes and will not be able to finish the project on time.
Once a beginner experienced early failure in his carpentry project he then will hesitate to pursue the woodworking hobby.

how often does mos carpentry/masonry specialist (21w i beleive) in the reserves get deployed
i was thinking about joining the army reserves for carpentry/masonry i have a wife and 2 kids and was just wondering what the chances are for deployment and how long the deployment will be. i know for certain jobs in the army the demand is higher. does anyone know for sure or is it a toss up at this point
The Reserves are a bit different than the National Guard. Yes when you unit deploys you will deploy. HOWEVER there may be a demand for “low density MOSs”. If you are the only 21W or one of 2 in your BN you may be called upon to deploy more frequently. If there is another BN in your brigade that is called to deploy the MAY grab you if they don’t have any 21W in their BN. The Reserves will transfer Soldiers in order to fill a battle roster. That is usually done at the Brigade level using Soldiers that haven’t deployed recently.
The Reserves are trying for a 1 year deployment with a 3 year dwell time. Sometimes that doesn’t work. So yes it is a bit of a toss-up at this point.

When Walter talked about slowing down the decomposition process in order to question a dead person, did anyone else remember that was what happened to John Scott in the series premiere?I know it’s almost impossible to resurrect that story line since a) audiences had a hard time following it, b) it was so long ago, and c) Mark Valley (Anna Torv’s ex-hubby BTW) is now on Human Target. But I always thought that was an interesting story line that never got resolved.

If you liked Fallout 3 then definitely get it. It’s a good game – and don’t forget the Personally I recommend Qarls Texture pack, it really lifts the graphics of the game, and also . Most people loved Oscuros Oblivion Overhaul, but personally I didn’t much like it: it adds lots of new monsters (some of which are annoying), several new quests (all of which are unstable), and new objects (all of which are overpowered), and doesn’t fix Oblivions biggest problem: the loot scaling.

Most people don’t know that plants take in oxygen and give off CO2 at night. Of course their life processes are much slower without the sun as an energy source so there is a strong net positive oxygen produced. Many other processes such as decay of plant and animal matter give off CO2. Natural sources give off much more CO2 than man so reducing our output by 10% is meaningless, even if CO2 was a primary driver in climate change.Two of the primary drivers in climate change are water vapor and solar output; they aren’t discussed much because noone has figured out a regulation and tax scheme yet.

Although I agree with Atanu more, I still have to say that abey does have a point. If there is anythign constant to our scientific understanding of the universe it is “change”. Not long ago we all believed that earth was the centre of the universe and not long we all believed that the earth was flat and that Newtonian laws held their course everywhere and that there is only one type of matter.
As science progresses and new inventions and discoveries are made, the fundamentally held beliefs of the physical world keep changing. We can only aspire to get close to the truth and can probably never ever figure out what the truth is. Scientifi endeavor has to push this frontier by continuous theorizing and experimentation.
Being closed to the idea of an energy source that is so radically different to our current conceptions of energy might be valid from a everyday standpoint but not for physicists who look for this holy grail. As new types of matter are discovered and theoretical physics keeps reshaping our fundamental beliefs, there might be a day not far ahead when we might get there.
“Collapse of Chaos” by Kack Cohen is a great book. For instance, the argument that Atanu presents is close to the one which says that life is possible only with water or when carbon plays a significant role. it is true in our setting in our world which is carbon based? Some of these beliefs do not explain anaerobic bacteria which live on methane under the ocean!!
My opinion is that we have to trust the scientific enterprise at the same time keeping an open view to radical findings that might challende the dominant view.

In practice, there is an urgent need to involve the general pulic, local leaders and youths to take initiatives to curb the continued of groundwater. I read some on

The point of the story is clear, St. Louisans drive to work. I’m not sure how much can be read into the comparisons though, as the national average includes rural areas with no public transit, heavily built out transit metro areas and everything in between. I bet KC has an even bigger percentage of driving workers? Comparing metro areas would be even more helpful in seeing where we stand.

Barbados has to choose between 2:
1) Incineration- the fast combustion of materials to dispose of and tyo create electricity. Natural decomposition is also a combustion but it is much slower and does not comnbust inert, non-biodrgadable materials. If this mode were chosen Barbados would be well-advised to marry incineration with the northern electricity station Light and Power is building. Will this affect the lust of the nameless who must have Harrison's Point? Only asking.
2) Landfill. Greenland is a nightmare, yet politicians have spent tens of millions on it. We do not know what kinds of remuneration al this has entailed, but we can ask a question. If Mangroive Pond is a good site then I shall discuss it, but will post again forthwith.

An older lady gets pulled over for speeding…
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see…Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls
for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to
the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.

An old Jewish woman lived alone in the country, with a garden.
She wanted to dig her potato garden but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. Her only son Saul, who used to help her, was in prison for Insider Trading and Stock Fraud, so she wrote a letter to her son and described her
predicament.
Dear Solly:
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love, Mama
A few days later the old woman received a letter from her son.
Dear Mama,
For heaven's sake Mom, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the money & stocks.
Love, Solly.
At 4 a.m. the next morning, a team of FBI agents and local police arrived at the old woman's house and dug up the entire garden area without finding any money or stocks. They apologized to the old woman and left.
That same day the old woman received another letter from her son.
Dear Mama,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love,
Your son, Solly

I’d surely like to know in which war/conflict/police action “Veteran” and/or Tom Feeley participated. Apparently “Veteran” has no respect for the First Amendment and Mr. Feeley none for Atheists. Mr. Feeley has the ability to divine (is that the correct word?) what makes soldiers “go the other way” regarding religious beliefs. “Veteran” is probably still angry at those who had the audacity, the temerity to stand against the Vietnam War and to oppose the invasion of Iraq. Rather than realizing that our troops appreciate those who protest and demonstrate to remove them from harm’s way and bring them home, he cannot see the forest for the tress. Estelle and Manny (whom I have never met) are Noble Americans who should be cherished not castigated. Westport is proud that they are our neighbors.

Tipping differs quite a bit depending on the region. Maybe 20% is a standard tip in the major metro area where you live, but in rural areas, particularly in the South, 5-10% is standard. 15% is exceptional. 20% is a gift. Hell, when I lived in the South, there was a feature article about waitstaff in the local arts paper trying to convince people that 15% was the kind of tip you give *for good service*. This can’t have been more than 10 years ago. Going off that, I’m going to say 20% is not the standard, at least not everywhere.

The provincial government of Punjab has decided to cancel six aid MoUs (Memorandum of Understanding) with the United States government to protest over the Abbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden. This aid (which was just in the talks, with nothing being finalised) was intended for health, education and waste management projects in the province – all three sectors which are in dire need of funding. According to Rana Sanaullah, Law Minister of Punjab, “We have told their concerned departments about our decision. This is our protest against the Abbottabad incident.”

THEN and only then do you have a right to bitch about it. If someone slices their foot open on a piece of glass it's their problem. Hey…in fact, even more of a reason not to wear their shoes. Unfortunately for you foot haters! I personally hate, HATE wearing shoes and I will walk to the printer without shoes. I for a very large, well known insurance company however, my job is not all that professional or glamourous. Basically, get over it. Stick your snobby nose up in the air towards someone else.

Hi Alicia. I appreciate your concerns, so I did a little research, and found out that balloons are biodegradable, just be careful what you use to tie them with.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding a Balloon Release
BEFORE releasing balloons, please carefully review the information below. Please limit your balloon release to 10 or fewer balloons.
Balloon Releases: Environmental Fact or Fiction?
Erroneous reports about balloons and balloon releases harming the environment have appeared in major newspapers and on national TV news programs. Many of these reports contain inaccurate claims made by well-intentioned people who care deeply about the earth’s ecology — but lack the facts.
Balloons used in special event releases constitute only a small fraction of the industry’s sales. Unfortunately, these spurious claims have caused a chilling effect at the local level and unnecessary financial strain on many of America’s small, independent balloon retailers who depend on special events as a major source of their livelihoods. Small industries such as delivery and decorating services also suffer.
Most consumers don’t have the time or inclination to sort through bad information disguised as fact — often resulting in a negative perception that balloons are bad.
Latex balloons are sometimes confused with plastic items and lumped in with the plastics litter problem. The oft-used phrase, “latex balloons and other plastics” is improper. Latex is not a plastic. It’s organic, made from the sap of rubber trees collected through an absolutely harmless tapping process very simple to that used for collecting the maple sap used for making syrup.
Moreover, latex balloons are totally biodegradable — the only type of balloon used in a professionally-produced mass release. A latex balloon’s molecular structure begins breaking down with inflation and gathers momentum when exposed to sunlight and the atmosphere. Within three hours, most latex balloons released into the atmosphere rise to approximately five miles, begin to oxidize, freeze and shatter into spaghetti-like pieces. Once on the ground gases and microorganisms attack the latex, continuing the natural decomposition process — even in the dark.
Scientific research, most notably by D.K. Burchette in, “A Study of the Effect of Balloon Releases on the Environment,” demonstrates that latex balloons decompose at a rate equal to — or faster than — an oak leaf under similar conditions.
Mylar balloons are foil-like, usually silver and cost significantly more (retailing for $3 – $8 each) than latex balloons. Mylar is a synthetic, metallized plastic/nylon material which is recyclable, but not biodegradable. Consequently, Mylar balloons are never used in a release.
Helium-filled Mylar balloons do get away accidentally because a string breaks or a consumer lets go. These incidents seem to be diminishing as a result of ongoing in-store awareness campaigns to encourage anchoring these balloons with decorative weights.
1.Use only hand-tied latex balloons and no plastic attachments.
2. Never release metallic balloons.
3. Never attach metallic ribbon to helium-filled balloons. Metallic ribbon and balloons conduct electricity and may come in contact with power lines when released.
We encourage environmentally responsible behavior when releasing balloons. There are some simple rules to follow that help to keep balloon releases safe.
We always practice the following steps to insure that our balloon releases are environmentally safe -
~ Never tie ANYTHING to balloons which are being released. Messages can easily be written on the balloons with a felt tip pen.
~ Only use biodegradable balloons. FYI- Latex is naturally occurring material made from tree sap.
~ Always use fully inflated balloons, and release shortly after filling.
The website I found this at can be found when you google it.
Thank you.
Peace and L.O.V.E

The Peter Fraser Government faced the problem of housing the post war baby boom generation.The Labour Government had already put in place a major State Housing programme and set a new standard for construction etc. (Debased Frank Lloyd Wright if you like.) However, the cabinet soon realized that there would be massive resistance if the Ministry of Works covered the suburban landscape with State Houses all off the same mould.So they had a stroke of genius. The family benefit was already in place. So they set up the State Advances Corporation to lend money at a low interest rate to elligible married couples. (No “partners” allowed). But the real genius was to allow couples with children to capitalise their family benefit to provide a deposit. They invented the first Voucher System in the world.The deposit and the loan package set a limit on state funded price but also meant that larger families could afford larger houses. The housing industry responded rapidly and a cottage industry was soon transformed by the appearance of the group housing companies such as Fletcher Construction, Keith Hay Homes, Neil Housing, and so on. They all had to built to State Advances Spec (and as an architect I designed many) but the end result was uniformity within diversity – which is what housing markets like.The industry became very efficient and in those days once land was zoned subdivision was just a technical process. The builders were the subdividers and hence for decades people could buy houses for three times their household income.I wrote a brief paper on the Housing Voucher invention when at Berkeley as an example of the use of leverage rather than direct funding and it ended up on President Nixon’s desk. It probably outlasted him.I have often suggested that the better use of working for families funding would be to reintroduce the Housing Voucher, but the land market is now too highly regulated and the elligibility rules would be hard to maintain.

The problem is that home builders have no incentive to do the simple things that save energy and money like using CFL bulbs. They're not going to be paying the electric bills so they install what has the lowest up front cost, not the lowest overall cost.
This is a classic example of market failure due to a principle-agent relationship between home builders and home buyers. Energy efficiency ratings for homes, whether privided by a private or government organization, are part of the solution to this.
If we mandate anything it should be that home builders have to offer an efficient lighting option on new homes where the buyer just has to check a box and the builder is responsible for going through the house installing CFL bulbs and making sure the light fixtures can fit them.

It sounds like you're describing an ecchymosis, which is essentially blood that has leached out of an area of ruptured vasculature and settled just under the surface of the skin creating a blister. The elderly or those with weakened vascular systems are predisposed to sustaining ecchymoses. They are commonly produced at injection sites or when the person is lifted or moved by a caregiver.
Hope that helps and thanks for the kind words.
