 Iron Ochre And Related Sludge Deposits In Subsurface Drain Lines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Permanent ochre is the most serious problem because it continues to be a clogging agent for the life of the drainage system, regardless of treatment.
Ochre can be found in the drain filter envelope, the zone abutting the envelope, the openings (slots or holes) in the drains, and within the drain tube itself.
Within the tubing itself, the heaviest accumulation of ochre appears to be in the lower third of the drain length, although the lower third is usually not the region of maximum ochre formation.

Furthermore Ochre Yards is the natural progression to the development of Gateshead Quays which over the last few months has seen the opening of the Millennium Bridge and The Baltic Arts Centre, whilst the magnificent Sage Music Centre which will dominate the southern bank of the Tyne is only a short walk from Ochre Yards.

 Latest Shroud of Turin Update   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Shortly after I learned through careful study of the 32 sticky-tapes taken from the Shroud that the image substance was paint, I made up two paints; one with pigment (red ochre) and gelatin solution and the other with diluted blood.
The red ochre paint was 0.01% pigment and 0.01% gelatin in water.
I made up these two paints for two reasons: first, to determine the amount of iron (as red ochre) that is needed to register a visible image (it turned out to be about 3 micrograms per square centimeter); second, to compare sticky tape samples from linen cloths painted with both paints.
