These haven't been a great couple of months for Mr. Ben Cook of Utah. Just weeks after the then-world's fastest text messager got shown up by some newfangled voice recognition system, a 16 year old from Singapore has stripped him of his geekalicious title -- pending verification by the Guinness Book of World Records, of course. To accomplish the feat, Ang Chuang Yang banged out the same 160-character nonsense as Ben Cook had to (as did several others before them), but managed to do it a solid 0.7 seconds faster with a total time of 41.52 seconds. Even more impressive, in order to be official the feat has to be accomplished without predictive text enabled, and to top it all off, Ang apparently chose some crappy Nokia to make it all happen. Our hats go off to you, sir.

Can you tell me what they're doing to the traffic system at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville? It reminds me now a little of a NASCAR track. -- John D., of Belleville
Hopefully, you won't see cars zipping around at 200 mph, but students, MetroLink riders and other visitors soon will enjoy a faster and more convenient commute around the SWIC campus.
At least, that's the hope as school officials prepare for the completion in late November of the SWIC Multi-Modal Transportation Project.
Begun last October, the project is a joint effort between SWIC and the St. Clair County Transit District. It was designed to ease ever-worsening traffic congestion caused by the continuing growth of both the campus and nearby commercial and residential developments.
It is also expected to better integrate MetroLink into the campus and make walking and cycling more pleasant.
"We're trying to organize it in such a way that it meets various Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) requirements in terms of space between where the entrances are and how close they are to traffic signals," said John Roach, of Roach Consulting Corp. in St. Louis.
"We're also trying to improve the general parking and associated landscaping to give the campus a little more of what I would call an urban feel. And, it will lead to the better integration of the bike trail and improve the internal circulation on the campus."
Already bicyclists are relishing the new bridge that takes them safely over Green Mount Road without having to make a mad dash across the busy roadway. Once across, they can coast down a new cloverleaf-like structure and either make their way toward campus over the tranquil Dr. Tom Amlung Nature Trail or head off to a nearby subdivision that asked the city for bike trail access.
Other changes you'll see:
* A new and improved crosswalk across Carlyle Avenue/Illinois 161. Studies found that every day more than 400 people brave their way across the busy stretch as they try to dodge some of the 15,000 cars.
* An on-campus roundabout to ease traffic congestion at the Green Mount entrance. The roundabout is expected to allow future circulator legs to be added as the campus expands.
* Improved campus entrances and exits with additional turn lanes, again to ease backups from both student and MetroLink traffic.
* An improved campus circulator pedestrian/bike path that will accommodate campus expansion. Improved landscaping, lighted paths, and benches should make it an even friendlier pedestrian campus.
"And this was from leftover money from the MetroLink extension from the college to the (Scott) air force base," Roach said. "The college wanted to capture those funds in order to do the kinds of improvements that you see."
As a result, the $8-million-plus project is being funded through a $5 million grant from IDOT along with another $1.6 million contribution from IDOT plus $600,000 from the St. Clair County Transit District; $300,000 from the Metro East Parks and Recreation District, and $150,000 in SWIC bond funds. Additional funding has been applied for through local grants.
It won't end there, Roach said. Already, a bridge for cyclists over Carlyle Avenue has been designed and approved with construction expected to start relatively soon. That project will allow access to the YMCA, Green Mount Commons and nearby residential subdivisions with the ultimate goal of extending the bike path to the Scott MetroLink station.
Is there a farming festival coming up in Amish country near Arcola? I seem to remember one every year but can't find it. -- G.D., Waterloo
Unfortunately, you missed last weekend's 43rd annual Broom Corn Festival, and this Saturday's Horse Plowing Day has literally dried up because of the weather.
So for a colorful fall excursion, you'll have to wait for the annual Harvest Festival Oct. 12-14 at Rockome Gardens near Arcola. For $10 ($8 seniors), you'll find old-time demonstrations and crafts, homemade apple butter and cider and, on the 13th, plenty of music by Mackville and The Coon Holler Kids.

Today's trivia
What was the first movie sequel to be released the same year as the original?
Answer to Wednesday's trivia: As a TV weatherperson, Elwood Edwards once reportedly told viewers in New Bern, N.C., "You've got hail!" But since 1989, the 63-year-old voice-over actor is best known for saying "You've got mail," "File's done" and "Goodbye" to anyone who logs on and off AOL. The Orrville, Ohio, resident also showed up as a virtual doctor on "The Simpsons" ("You've got leprosy!") as well as the ads for the 1998 movie "You've Got Mail."

Grip used to be an issue for me ages ago when I was skinny, weak and only pulling 300lbs. Pushed it and I suppose my grip just caught up.
Now as I'm pulling abit heavier and with a snatch grip the it's becoming more of an issue. I've done 400lbs x4 on conventional deads, and I'm getting close to that number now but with the snatch grip. I'm doing sets of 5 now and PR'd today, but the grip was just about ready to break on the 4th and 5th reps of my sets.
Anyone here use any good grip excercises to help their pull? I'd do a google search but don't want to find some shitty stuff and waste my time doing it. Rather ask the big boys at WBB.
The only lift I'm proud of at this point is a close stance, ass to grass zercher squat of 170kg x2 at 85kg bw. If only they held zercher squat competitions...
the easiest way to fix your deadlift grip is.....
1. Train double overhand until you cant
2. Train over under both ways
3. Hold your deadlifts at the top, maybe on your last rep of the day, for as as long as you can.
Some other things that ive been doing that i tihnk help are towel chinups, and deadlifts with bands. Band tension just rips the bars out of your hands.
Fat Gripz and rack pulls have helped my grip strength but if you want a quick solution, use chalk.

Climate Deal Reached at Copenhagen
by Nathan Empsall, Fri Dec 18, 2009 at 12:22:16 PM EST
No details yet, but President Obama says a "meaningful" climate deal has been reached between the US, China, India, Brazil, and South Africa. The deal has no emissions cap but sets a goal of limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius. On the one hand, this is great news given the deadlock that gripped these countries over the past few days. On the other hand, it sounds like the deal is pretty weak and may not do nearly enough to combat climate change. I take heart in the fact that this is merely "politically" binding. After US legislation passes, we'll see if the "legally" binding treaty that comes out of Mexico City next year is any tougher.
It was Obama's arrival, speech, and personal diplomacy that led to the deal, which while weak is better than no deal at all. You can argue that no Senate bill would be fine since the EPA would step into the void, but there is no global EPA to take COP15's place. I have to wonder, however, how much stronger the deal would have been if the president's deal-making presence had been there all along. Opportunity lost? Probably not, since Mexico City still looms. Anyway, from Politico:
"[A] meaningful agreement was reached," the official said. "It's not sufficient to combat the threat of climate change but it's an important first step... No country is entirely satisfied with each element, but this is a meaningful and historic step forward and a foundation from which to make further progress."
The official added: "We entered this negotiation at a time when there were significant differences between countries. Developed and developing countries have now agreed to listing their national actions and commitments, a finance mechanism, to set a mitigation target of 2 degrees Celsius and to provide information on the implementation of their actions through national communications, with provisions for international consultations and analysis under clearly defined guidelines."
It's not clear how many nations -- particularly poorer nations who felt shut out of the process -- were included in the final deal or how they will react to the announcement.
Earlier Friday, a visibly angry Barack Obama threw down the gauntlet at China and other developing nations Friday, declaring that the time has come "not to talk but to act" on climate change.
Obama's public ultimatum kicked off a furious round of bilateral negotiations between the world's two largest pollution emitters as the conference entered its final hours, with Obama plunging into a pair of bargaining sessions involving Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, who had earlier boycotted a larger, multi-nation meeting with Obama.
No reaction yet from the expert-written climate blogs I regularly check.
Update 5:50 EST by Nathan Empsall: Obama has already left Copenhagen due to the immense snowstorm heading DC's way. Sounds fun; wish I was there (in Copenhagen or the DC snow, either one.) More importantly, though, reactions to the climate deal are slowly beginning to trickle in. 350.org tweets, "A tweet cannot express the level of frustration & disappointment I feel w/Obama right now. So much for change." Still waiting to hear from Real Climate and Climate Progress, or from an environmental group on a platform of more heft than Twitter.
Update 6:09 EST by Nathan Empsall: The Sierra Club has a decidedly more positive take than 350. Their headline is "President Obama Leads World to Historic, If Incomplete Climate Deal." I am inclined to agree with Executive Director Carl Pope's statement:
"The world's nations have come together and concluded a historic--if incomplete--agreement to begin tackling global warming. Tonight's announcement is but a first step and much work remains to be done in the days and months ahead in order to seal a final international climate deal that is fair, binding, and ambitious. It is imperative that negotiations resume as soon as possible.
President Obama and the rest of the world paid a steep price here in Copenhagen because of obstructionism in the United States Senate. That a deal was reached at all is testament to President Obama's leadership--all the more remarkable because of the very weak hand he was dealt because of the Senate's failure to pass domestic clean energy and climate legislation. Now that the rest of the world--including countries like China and India--has made clear that it is willing to take action, the Senate must pass domestic legislation as soon as possible. America and the world can no longer be held hostage to petty politics and obstructionism...
"The agreement reached here has all the ingredients necessary to construct a final treaty--a mitigation target of 2 degrees Celsius, nationally appropriate action plans, a mechanism for international climate finance, and transparency with regard to national commitments. President Obama has made much progress in past 11 months and it now appears that the U.S.--and the world--is ready to do the hard work necessary to finish what was started here in Copenhagen.

Newly-elected Congresswoman Suzan DelBene was in Woodinville for Small Business Saturday.
DelBene's first stop was at the new turkey-themed restaurant Gobble, where she spoke with owner Adam Gold, while her husband, Kurt, ordered lunch.
She then visited the Woodinville Weekly and spoke with editor Julie Boselly about the newspaper business.
Then it was off to Molbak's for a tour before meeting with Woodinville Wine Country President Mike Stevens and Brian Carter at Brian Carter Cellars.
DelBene of Medina, a Democrat, beat out Republican John Koster of Arlington in the 1st Congressional District race in the Nov. 6 elections. DelBene also came out the winner in the special one-month term election to fill Rep. Jay Inslee's seat.
DelBene's first pressing issue as a member of Congress will be to tackle what's known as the "fiscal cliff." If Congress fails to act, on Jan. 1, 2013, a number of financial policies will either expire or initiate, including $7 trillion worth of tax increases and spending cuts over the next 10 years.
"I'm hopeful we'll get there," she said about coming to a solution before the deadline.
DelBene also said she's hoping to become a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. She said with her business experience, it would be a good fit.
"Our number one issue is jobs and the economy, and hopefully I can bring ideas to the table," she said. "Woodinville is a great example of the unique business opportunities we have."

MLB 08: The Show PSP Review
Review Score
- PSU Review Score
- 8.0
- Avg. user review score:
- 9.0
You must be logged in to rate a game
Once again MLB 08: The Show delivers as expected. There is no competition anywhere for this franchise and even though 2K Sports is trying hard with their MLB 2K series, they're still coming up short. It'll be another couple of years before they can really compete.
We like
- Road to the Show improvements
- Solid online play
- Great pitcher/hitter analysis
We dislike
- Visual tearing is rough
- Camera angles are too tight
- Lack of throwing meter
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
After an above average showing with MLB 07: The Show last year, SCE San Diego upped their game for the release of MLB 08: The Show on the PlayStation Portable. This time around they decided to take the positive from both the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game and throw them into one small portable format. The big question here is, did they strikeout while doing so or did they finally hit that round tripper. Even though the game is an upgrade from last year's installment, we'll rest pat with calling it a triple at best.
MLB 08: The Show on the PSP does a lot of things right and finally removed a lot of the issues that was plaguing the title last year. The problem with this is the fact that most of the time you improve upon an issue another issue seems to spring up causing a glaring problem within the game as well. This seems to be a serious issue with this title and actually detracts from the one mode that makes it so great to begin with, Road to the Show.
Everyone who played last year's version can attest to the reoccurring framerate issues that cropped up during gameplay. This was a disappointing aspect to enjoying the full experience of Road to the Show. SCE San Diego cleaned this problem up but unfortunately included a new issue that detracts from the experience all the same. The camera angles, though customizable, do everything they can to take away from the full playing experience being offered. The camera is often far too tight and zoomed in, in order to make a great play on the ball. You'll often find yourself trying to make a break on a quick grounder, only to watch it trickle between you and one of your teammates because of the late jump. This will all depend on which position you choose to play though, as each does seem to have its issues in regards to the camera control or lack thereof.
Outside of that small snag, Road to the Show plays very well in comparison to its predecessor, with a handful of new fielding animations, it definitely adds to the authenticity the title has to offer. You won't experience so many of the same plays over and over like you did last year, as they will begin to feel varied and offer up a much more enjoyable baseball experience.
Much like the console releases for The Show, the PSP version has been given a complete overhaul for the career goals as well. No longer will you be expected to always swing for the fences or to strike out an entire side of hitters. You'll now receive a balance of goals that are much more attainable and a lot more realistic. This was one of the bigger complaints from last year's title and we're glad it was addressed. One of the other new implementations for the mode is the ability to make defensive adjustments on the field in order to get to balls you may have otherwise been unable to reach. This will give you an advantage against hitters who are known to pull the ball or hit away more so than anything else.
If you're looking to get engaged within the other modes of play, don't expect anything new. Just like last year's release, you can expect to see the same season modes, King of the Hill mode, and Home Run Derby. Though they add a bit more to the replay value of the title, they're nothing new and nothing has been implemented within them that can be discussed. Each mode of play does exactly what they're expected to do and you can't ask much more than that in all honesty.
With online play, you're going to see a lot of what you saw last year - immersive online leagues, decent lag-free experiences, and an overall enjoyable feel. You'll still have online message boards, downloadable sliders, and a ticker update much like the console versions and each works flawlessly. SCE San Diego really knew what they were doing with the online support of this title and we wish other online sports games could offer the same thing.

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin football team concluded its ninth practice and first of three intersquad scrimmages this evening at Hardy Graham Stadium.
With much of the questions being focused around the brewing quarterback competition, it was the stringent Skyhawk defense which stole the show Saturday evening in front of numerous fans sprinkled throughout the stands.
"I'm very proud of our defense, the offense has been playing very well up to tonight, so it is good for a head coach to see the defense make some plays," said UT Martin head football coach Jason Simpson. "In practices when everything is scripted out, the defense does not have the chance to see what a three-and-out feels like. Tonight they were able to see what that felt like and make plays count."
The Skyhawk defense forced three turnovers while forcing a handful of fumbles which the offense quickly pounced on to retain possession. The defensive front line provided constant pressure on the offensive unit, getting into the backfield for five sacks while flushing the quarterback out of the pocket on several occasions.
All-Ohio Valley Conference preseason selections Ben Johnson and DJ Roberts each tallied one sack each while Roberts forced an early fumble which Ryan Isom recovered. Isom, Deilouse Jackson and Marquis Clemons each added a sack.
Senior J'Vontez Blackman forced the second turnover of the game when he intercepted an errant Jarod Neal pass in the endzone for a touchback. Clemons remained active late in the night with a fumble recovery of his own and the defense's third takeaway of the evening.
"Our defense is fast and we've been calling that group Fast & Furious throughout camp and that's the way we try to recruit because we aren't the biggest defense but we are pretty fast."
The Skyhawk offense tallied 376 yards of offense and two touchdowns on the evening. The quarterback trio of Jarod Neal, Tyler Rice and Dylan Favre split the bulk of the duties behind center. Favre went 9-for-14 with 74 passing yards and 32 rushing yards on four carries. Neal went 3-for-14 with 61 passing yards and an interception while Rice went 3-for-7 with four yards through the air.
The running back core was led by Trent Garland who ripped off a 43-yard carry for a touchdown en route to 48 yards on four carries. DJ McNeil led the team with eight carries while tallying 34 yards on the ground. Utah State transfer Abou Toure carried the ball six times for 30 yards.
The wide receiver duo of Dylan Davis and Caylon Weathers amassed nearly 200 yards combined. Davis led all receivers with five catches for 102 yards while Weathers made the most of his opportunities to wrangle three catches for 81 yards and a touchdown.
The Skyhawks will return to practice with a pair of practices on Monday and will cap off the week with their second of three scrimmages slated for next Saturday, Aug. 17 at 7:15 p.m. "This next week is going to huge for us as we try to shape this football team," said Simpson.
This week's tentative practice schedule:
Monday, Aug. 12: Practice 10, 9:15 a.m.
Practice 11, 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Aug. 13: Practice 12, 7:15 p.m.
Wednesday, Aug. 14: Practice 13, 7:15 p.m.
Thursday, Aug. 15: Practice 14, 7:15 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 16: Practice 15, 3:30 p.m.
Saturday, Aug. 17: Practice 16 (Scrimmage), 7:15 p.m.

We're still getting a local box of produce every week (although lately I've been considering signing up for a CSA with a nearby farm, since the cost is about the same), so I'm coming up with inventive ways to incorporate all of the veggies we're getting. Recently we got a head of bok choy and some shiitake mushrooms (yeah, I know, I don't think bok choy OR shiitakes when I think of local Texas produce either), so at the last minute, I thought I'd toss them together in a quickie little stir-fry that was perfect to accompany some lettuce wraps I was making for dinner.
Most of the time, these last minute side dish ideas are less than exciting. I'm a big fan of steaming a big bunch of whatever is fresh and calling it good, especially on a weeknight. It's delicious, in my opinion, and it gets the job done, but it's not really a blog-worthy event. I was pleasantly surprised with this, though, and it didn't really take any more time than my usual steam-and-go routine. I love shiitake mushrooms, and they definitely contribute a great earthiness to any dish. With the slight crunch of the bok choy, it was a side dish that was more than the sum of its parts. I found myself nibbling away at it quite a bit while I was getting dinner ready (a common issue I have while cooking).
Needless to say, it was another winner from the local box! Hoping we get more bok choy and shiitakes soon so I can make it again!
Bok Choy with Shiitakes and Sesame Seeds
1 t coconut oil
3.5 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1/2 t ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced (or use a clove from your garlic confit, if you made some!)
1 head boy choy, chopped
1/2 c water
1 t wheat-free tamari or coconut aminos
1 T sesame seeds
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ginger and garlic and saute for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add bok choy, water, and tamari or coconut aminos and stir, then cover with a lid. Allow to "steam" for 2 minutes, then stir and allow to steam again for another minute or so, until bok choy is tender-crisp. Remove lid and allow excess liquid to evaporate, stirring occasionally. Add sesame seeds and toss once more. Serve.
Serves 2-3.

Mmm…I've been craving some type of Asian veggie side dish lately, Alta, so I'll have to try this!
What a lovely side dish. I'm a big fan of bok chow and often do the steaming thing you're referring too and call it done. This will be a nice change for us.
yummmmm……i might make this with our fish tacos.
this looks AMAZING! can't wait to try it!
Bok Choy or won bok , etc. are really good with shitake mushrooms in stir fries. I usually add some tofu or left-over meat and make it a main dish.
Wonderful post! I love to write and I hope to see my own novels on shelves some day, and yes, I question everyday whether I think I may be good enough or not, but the truth it, I love it and my fingers itch to put my stories on paper. Fantasticly encouraging post, exactly what I needed to read
Love this! How simple, nutritious and perfectly easy! We're going to feature this on our Facebook page and link here so people can see your recipe and your great photography. If you wish, come LIKE us on Facebook for more recipes and tips on superfood Asian green vegetables like baby bok choy, gai lan (Chinese broccoli), dau miu (pea shoots), yu choy and gai choy. https://www.facebook.com/Jade.Asian.Greens

This was great! I cut down the sesame seeds and used veg broth to sautee instead of the oil. The only thing I would change is to double it next time – it's that good:)

3. Push for a one-year contract extension to give us more time to be engaged in the process and allow the new mayor to have a say
4. Ensure livable wages and worker protection.
Boston Natural Areas Network has asked gardeners to also attend the meeting: "Community gardeners know that trash and recycling is not currently available to Boston's community gardens. We hope you can help change this by adding your input so that community gardens are included in City of Boston trash pickup. We hope that community gardeners will attend a meeting and participate in the on-line survey… contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information."

Produce to Pantries
Boston Natural Areas Network and the Boston Gardeners Council are moving forward on planning this year's Produce to Pantries program. Last year, gardeners grew over 7,000 pounds of fresh produce for pantries in Mattapan and Dorchester. BNAN is looking for gardens or individual gardeners who can dedicate growing produce to be collected for Produce to Pantries weekly. Additionally, BNAN is hoping to find volunteers who will dedicate time each week in helping collect produce from gardens, transporting food from garden to pantry, and distributing produce at the pantries. The food pantry locations, dates, and times are still TBA (but coming soon!). Attached you will find a flyer about Produce to Pantries, including volunteer opportunities, that you can pass around, post in your garden, and generate throughout your gardening circles. For more information about Produce to Pantries and how to get involved, please contact Dana Chepulis, Garden Outreach and Engagement Coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 617-542-7696.

ANACORTES, Wash. - An explosion and fire at a Washington state oil refinery shook homes and shot flames into the night sky early Friday, killing four people and critically injuring three others.
The fire struck the Tesoro Corp. refinery in Anacortes, about 70 miles north of Seattle on Puget Sound, at about 12:30 a.m., the company said. The blaze occurred while maintenance work was being performed and was extinguished in about 90 minutes.
Greg Wright, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Tesoro, told KING 5 News initially that three workers were killed in the refinery explosion and four were airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Skagit County Coroner Daniel Dempsey says the three who died Friday at the scene were 31-year-old Matthew C. Bowen of Arlington; 43-year-old Darrin J. Hoines of Ferndale; and 50-year-old Daniel J. Aldridge of Anacortes.
Twenty-nine-year-old Kathryn Powell and 36-year-old Donna VanDreumel died later at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Two other employees are hospitalized with major burns over the majority of their bodies: Matt Gumbel, 34, and Lew Janz, 41.
Lynn Westfall, Senior Vice President of External Affairs and Chief Economist at the plant, says all were operators. He said Bowen, Hoines, Aldridge and VanDreumel are married. Powell is single.
The blaze started in a naphtha unit of the complex.
Naphtha is a volatile, flammable liquid derived during the refining process, and the unit had undergone maintenance and was in the process of returning to operation -- a "typically dangerous" step of turning up heat and pressure, Wright said.
"We do not know the cause. we know that there was maintenance work being performed on the unit at the time," said Wright. "The work was pretty well done and the unit was being brought up to operational status. Other than that, we don't know what had happened."
Tesoro spokesman John McDarment says the plant activated emergency response procedures and that the fire was brought under control by Tesoro emergency personnel. The fire was controlled within 90 minutes.
Nearby residents, some five miles from the complex, called Washington TV stations after midnight with reports of an explosion, saying flames were being blown by high winds.
Several people called KING 5 News about hearing or feeling the explosion. One caller, Jason Chinchen, says he lives three to four miles away from the refinery and felt his windows shake. Chinchen said immediately after, there was a noise that sounded like a jet flying overhead, a kind of loud wind.
Chinchen took some pictures and video of the refinery in the distance. The pictures show what appears to be the glow of flames at the facility.
Seth Gabel wrote in an e-mail, "(the explosion) shook my whole house and woke me and my wife from bed."
Patti Newman of Anacortes wrote, "I was sitting in my chair when the whole sky lit up. I thought it was lighting and I would hear thunder next. boy was I surprised when I heard a loud boom then (saw) fire from the stacks."
Greg Cummings, from Abbottsford, B.C., had just gone to bed at the RV park across the bay from the refinery when he heard a loud whoosh and saw the flames.
"I thought it was a terrorist attack," he said.
Kelly Amos, of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, said he and his wife were awoken by the boom from inside their travel trailer.
"It shook the trailer really good," Amos said. When he looked outside, he saw flames shooting as high as the refinery's tower. He said the fire died down considerably within a half hour or so.
"This is a very sad time for our organization. Everyone in the Tesoro family appreciates the impact that this will have on the families involved, and we are responding quickly to ensure the safety for our employees, contractors and the neighboring community," said Bruce Smith, Tesoro's Chairman, President and CEO in a press statement.
The blast was the biggest fatal refinery accident since a 2005 explosion at a BP American refinery in Texas killed 15 people and injured another 170, authorities said. It comes after Tesoro was fined $85,700 a year ago for 17 serious safety and health violations.
The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board is sending six people to investigate the accident, which spokesman Daniel Horowitz called "very serious."
Horowitz said the board is "extremely concerned about safety in this sector" after a number of accidents and safety violations found at refineries by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
San Antonio-based Tesoro Corp. is an independent refiner and marketer of petroleum products. The Anacortes refinery can refine about 130,000 barrels of crude daily, according to the company. The U.S. Energy Information Administration Web site ranks it as the 59th largest refinery in the nation.
Tesoro has owned the Anacortes refinery since 1998. It mainly processes Alaska North Slope crude and makes gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, mostly for Washington and Oregon.
Wright said he can't say yet how long production will be affected, but Tesoro likely can make up the loss by ramping up production at its other West Coast refineries or buying from others.
Other than the possibility of a short spike, Wright said he doubted the refinery problem would affect gasoline prices.
There are four large refineries in northwestern Washington. The oil-refining business in the state began in the 1950s, in anticipation of the crude oil that was to begin flowing from Alaska's North Slope
This is the first refinery fire in Anacortes since 2007, when a blaze damaged a storage tank at the Shell Puget Sound Refinery and three people received minor injuries. Tesoro had a previous fire in 2002, with no injuries reported.
Six refinery workers were killed in an explosion and fire at the Equilon Puget Sound Refinery in Anacortes in 1998.
Tesoro said the Washington Department of Labor and Industries had been notified about Friday's fire.
The department fined Tesoro in April 2009. Serious violations are cited when there is potential for death or serious physical injury from the violation.
Inspectors found 150 instances of deficiencies at the Tesoro refinery, including where the company didn't ensure safe work practices for energy control and failed to update safety information when changes where made to technology and equipment.
The company has appealed the decision, said LNI spokesman Hector Castro.
The state inspections were part of a national emphasis aimed at inspecting all petroleum refineries in the U.S. That program began in 2007 as a result of the 2005 explosion in Texas.
Of the 18 open major accident cases the chemical safety board is examining, at least seven are refineries, Horowitz said. Yet there are only 150 refineries in the country and tens of thousands of other chemical plants.
"Almost half our accidents, the serious ones, are at refineries," Horowitz said. "We're seeing a disproportionate number of serious accidents at refineries."

I love egg sandwiches of all kinds. I'll bet this is perfect with the jalepeno ranch. Yum!ReplyDelete
If I likes jalepenos or ranch, I might try that sauce! Haha. Since I don't, I think I'll just re-create it for Shane, since he loves both. <3ReplyDelete
Whoa girl, this post just blew my tastebuds away! I love recreating restaurant dishes, it can be oober fun :)ReplyDelete

I'm making that jalapeno ranch. not kidding.
God how I love bagels. When I was in HS I went to this local bagel shop on the daily and got a "plain on plain toasted."

Soldier does not equal solder | Reviewer: Please read a book | 8/23/13
In response to a review high up on the page (ABC 4/4/11).... You say that "he must be saying soldier as to melt two pieces of metal together" or some such nonsense.
The word soldier refers (as a noun) to an individual in the military or one wih similar attributes, and as a verb it can mean perservere. The other word you refer to has no i in it. It is solder, and its pronunciation rhymes with "fodder" - the l l in solder is silent.
It is irresponsible to publicly deconstruct language without a basic understanding of it.
What? Come on.... | Reviewer: Killer AMC | 7/5/12
I think the song is about someone who thinks they are a piece of shit and who want's help from god or anyone who will help... maybe oversimplifying but that's what it seems like to me... the person is getting older and realizing they are frustrating people by disappointing them and in turn himself too...
through my venes | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/18/11
This song is one of my absolut favorite songs of all times. When I am trubbled, or stressed, I put on this song on a very high volume And feel it clean out all the bad from me.(if you understand what I mean?:-) This is the kind of song that makes you wanna do something remarkable and amazing.... It is just awsome...
You all got it wrong | Reviewer: ABC | 4/4/11
theres no u in "soldier" so he cant be saying soldier
what is saying is "ive got sole but im not a solder", i.e. one with the ability to connect peices of metal by melting them into each other. he's applying the property that metals melt to rubber (his sole) and yet says he doesnt have the raw energy to melt the rubber of his sole back onto his shoe ("dont put me on the back burn-er-her-her").
The song in its entirety is Brandon Flowers' cry out to tell the world how pathetic he thinks he is and how low his self esteem has sunk ("you know you gotta help me out" and other obvious quotes)
Instead of being a man and instead of trying to get back on track he reflects his self-pity onto everyone else ("youre gonna bring yourself down")
it all boils down to "i got sole but im not a solder"- he knows that as a person he has the power be successful yet he doesnt think he can reach success because he's not a "solder" and everyone is putting hm on the "back burner."
he ends off with "if you can hold on" which his his temporary solution to replace his sole without actually soldering it to his shoe- thus being successful without actually achieving anything real- which is inherently lying to himself
YES, i KNOW this interpretation is way off, dont bother posting it
The song actually in reality means nothing st all
but that doesnt make it any less of an awesome song
Love | Reviewer: Clare | 3/17/11
Becca - I totally agree with you..people have different views of song lyrics... to me it stuck out because my relationship is on the rocks. Not saying this song is about that.. It just stuck out to me that way...and also the scene from the video where he walks in with lipstick on his face and his girlfriend slaps him..and he's in the shower saying she needs to help him out and not put him on the back burner.
"If you can hold on If you can hold on, hold on " - Sometimes I feel like letting go but I keep on holding on.
"wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't" - Sometimes I try to tell him that I want to be able to do things I want to do without upsetting him and he trys to act as if he knows and he understands...but he doesn't know the half of it.
"I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand" - Like you I don't want to be forgotten, I haunt seen any of my friends in the longest time because he feels as if they're no good for me.
"Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take." - There are so many times where we argue and someones feelings get hurt. I also feel as if Im older than I really am...and that just makes him look so immature to me.
"And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection" - Being made to feel like a fool makes me not even want to be around him sometimes..and I wish that maybe id find a person who would treat me right..but I need direction to find him..
"Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner" - Its like I have to take care of everything and when I forget to do something its a problem..I wish he would help me out. Also lately he hasn't been giving me much attention I feel as though he keeps putting me on the back burner and paying attention to other things.
whatever it means to you. | Reviewer: becca | 2/18/11
this song to me is not about god or war. its simply about my struggles. i relate it to my own life.
"i wanna stand up, i wanna let go"- i want to be recognized and break out of my shell and not have a care in the world.
"you know, you know. no you dont you dont"- people say they understand me but they have no idea.
"i want to shine on in the hearts of man, i wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand."- i'm about to graduate highschool and i want people to remember me. i want to mean everything i do.
"another head aches, another heart breaks. i'm so much older than i can take."- i'm being hurt and my heart is breaking. i feel so much older than what i really am because of my expieriences.
"i need direction to perfection... help me out.. dont you put me on the back burner"-its to my mother because i feel like she abandoned me after my dad moved out. now that im about to graduate i need direction to perfect my life. i need her to help me but she seems to not even care.
"these changes aint changing me. the gold-hearted boy i used to be."- my life has changed so much over these last few years and is about to change even more. but ill always be the same old girl ive always been.
"ive got soul but i'm not a soldier"- i have so much passion and soul inside of me but im not as strong as i would like to be.
i love this song so much. it helped me through my teenage years. i can feel the passion in brandons voice when he sings it and its so beautiful to me. but i personally think the purpose of this song or any song at that is for the listener to relate it to their own life. it makes music so much more personal.
"time, truth, and hearts."
Agreeing with everyone ... | Reviewer: Kendra | 11/27/10
Too many conflicts in this world involve "right" and "wrong" beliefs. In my opinion, by saying "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier," the singer is saying that just because he has his own beliefs and values (his own "soul"), it does not mean that he will not accept other beliefs or force his own beliefs upon others ("but I'm not a soldier").
Does it really "mean" anything?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/24/10
When I first heard this song it just sounded like noise with some random (if rather clever word-play) lyrics. That's ok - it's just not my taste. I'm not a Killers fan but the line "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" stuck in my head and I looked it up.
Earlier in the year I went to see Bill Bailey live. He did a hilarious take-off of this song and had the whole audience singing "I got ham but I'm not a hamster".
Perhaps the lyrics aren't supposed to mean something specific - the skill of good writing is that it can mean what the reader/listener desires. Some will conclude from this review that I am a Killers-hating Philistine with no taste. Others may agree with me. Others may feel I'm wrong to have a laugh at the expense of something that fans may find moving/meaningful.
The fact is, I'm here, writing this. The song had the power to make all of us think and take time to write posts here, even those who don't particularly like it or see meaning in it. THAT is why it is worthy of respect.
religious? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/21/10
"Hannah" Okay first off someone is giving his or her heart felt opinion. Who are you to make fun or mock it? I understand everyone has there right to state your opinion about something but not to mock it. And while you say "always" not every christian, muslim, buddhist or catholic pushes there religion on you. Me myself I am christian and if i say it directs to God then let it be so says The Beatles. Its all opinion and for you to judge religion is really vulgar.
is it realy about god | Reviewer: hannah | 6/23/10
why is it that people who are religious always seem to try and connect EVERYTHING to 'god' thats the problem with religion, it clouds your judgement. who knows if its realy about any of these things, from the perspective of someone who actually writes songs i beleive that its more about whats in your head at the precice moment rather than whats going on in the world and most of the time to be honest its mainly about what sounds good and flows well, it doesnt always have to have some hidden meaning you know. open your eyes and stop consantly forcing your religious nonsence onto everyone else.
I'm persuaded.... | Reviewer: Sniggles | 6/14/10
Well everyone has some pretty good arguments. I can see how it could be about a number of those things (God, war, or as one person said, just about someone struggling.)
However, being a religious person I am seeing a lot of the God connection but that could just be how my mind works. The one line that I never really thought about until now is:
"When there's nowhere else to run, is there room for one more son?" which made me think of the Prodigal Son, a parable told by Jesus about a son who has done his father wrong and when he returns home his father greets him with love and is just so happy that his son is back that he forgives him instantly.
Not saying this means the whole song is about religion. I can see how it could just be about one person struggling with life in general but that line could have been influenced by that parable. Just maybe. :)
I never thought of that before | Reviewer: Rudy | 3/2/10
It's by God about people -- that is something I never thought of before. From what you posted it makes alot of sense. That is exactly how people are. They find themselves in tough spot and then to turn to God to help them find away out and then when the problem is resolved they go back to their lives as if nothing has happend. I always enjoy reading peoples interpertations of the Killers lyrics.
I really wish we knew what the they intended the lyrics to mean!
well Niels Ingel | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/19/09
part of art is the ability for people to take different interpretations of it. If you find that it means something to you no one has the right to say your wrong. Likewise, somebody else might find something about religion, antiwar, etc. and they are entitled to it so when people fight about the "true meaning" of a song its just kind of funny. The artist might have had an idea when writing it, but it changes for each person. That's all im saying.
It is what it is. | Reviewer: Niels Ingel | 6/15/09
Ppl are looking too far when they say it's about anti-war and god, religieus...etc...
If you just listen to the song, you notice the feeling he puts in it is that he finds himself lost, lost hope. Needs help to get back on track. And despite that, there's still hope, he still is who he is, wanting to do good for ppl." These changes ain't changing me, the goldhearted boy I used to be" and " shine on in the hearts of men "
:) it's just about someone with the best intentions who lost his track for now and needs help to get back on track.
I don't think it's supposed to give it a more concrete interpretation like " anti-war" or "religieus"
It's by God about people | Reviewer: Tim | 6/1/09
It's a song written from the perspective of God speaking about people who only pray when they need something. It is a sarcastic reminder that people are happy in their daily lives and don't think for a moment about God until they are in trouble. Then they pray to God: just help me out with this one thing and I promise I'll be good…I'll be your son.
"When there's no where else to run, is there room for one more son"
Opening line stating God's perspective: People pray when they are screwed (no where else to run). People pray that God will see them and they will become the perfect son if only God will help them.
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go, You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
God saying: "I want to walk away from the world" – I want to let go, you have no idea
"Another head aches, another heart breaks"
These are the prayers God is hearing. Someone asking for relief of a head ache, someone asking for help in a relationship
"I am so much older than I can take"
God is saying I'm old and I tire of hearing these people continually praying for help and forgiveness then turning their backs as soon as the situation is resolved.
"And my affection, well it comes and goes"
God saying I answer some people's prayers but not others
"I need direction to perfection, no no no no"
Could mean a number of things. Ex. God saying I need direction, or could mean people asking God for direction then as soon as they are ok, they say no no nevermind I don't need you.
"Yeah, you know you got to help me out"
A little sarcasm about the prayers God hears – come on help me out with this one please come on, don't ignore me, don't put me on the backburner. I really need this pleeeaasse help me out you got to.
