Product DescriptionThe BikeRayUSA Speed I bike light sets a new standard in ultimate light output at an affordable price. Its blisteringly bright 1000 lumen LED means a great flood beam that can light up what's in front of you. This light is much brighter than a car headlight and anyone else can see you from a good distance away. The BikeRayUSA Speed I uses a CREE XM-L T6 LED to achieve its fantastic power output. And the single light head design is highly waterproof, lightweight and doesn't take up much room on the handlebars. The 22 degree molded optical glass lens orange peel reflector directs the light to where it is most needed, lighting up the road ahead while also providing good throw. A temperature protection circuit will stop the light overheating, automatically stepping the output down if the light is left on full with no airflow around it. The bevel (lid casing) is sealed to prevent tampering of the lighthead and will void warranty if removed.

I met some people on Lummi Island a few months ago who said that their Inn had originally been a farm stand. The front piece of old stand itself was around back of the Inn near the parking area, and it announced the two products this purveyor was known for: "Fresh nettles and strawberries!" A local cheesemaker produces a nettle cheese, which I've tasted and liked. And on Orcas Island this past weekend, I was served a fabulous nettle soup (with a Lopez Island clam fritter plunked down in the center--a great, truly local dish).
Right there, that's about all I know of the apparent fondness some people have for the flavor of nettles. I do not even know if these are the same nettles, or just related to, those wretched things that pop up in my garden from time to time and sting the bejeezus out of me.
Can anyone enlighten me?

The book includes a comprehensive classification of more than 300 readily available foods such as vegetables, grains, herbs and spices, fruit, meat, seafood, dairy products, oils and fats, and more. Numerous clinical examples and treatment suggestions artfully combine Western medical conditions with Chinese diagnostic techniques.
For this second edition the section on clinical examples has been expanded by detailed chapters on the treatment of obesity and physical and / or emotional fatigue. The explanation of causes of diseases according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the different symptoms, and the lists of recommended foods and foods to avoid are supplemented by advice on the adequate acupuncture treatment.

WHAT: Rick Estrin & The Nightcats in Concert
WHEN: Friday, November 16, 2012, 8:00pm
WHERE: Crystola Roadhouse, 20918 HWY 24, Woodland Park, CO
TICKETS: $18 to $38.
WEBSITES: www.amusiccompanyinc.com www.rickestrin.com
Rick Estrin, according to The San Francisco Chronicle, "is an amazing harmonica player, a soulful lead vocalist and a brilliant songwriter." The award-winning musician, another critic said, "sounds like Little Walter playing and singing Leiber and Stoller." Along with The Nightcats-jaw-dropping guitarist Chris "Kid" Andersen, singing drummer (who plays standing up) J. Hansen and dynamic multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Farrell (electric and acoustic bass, organ and piano)-Rick Estrin serves up fresh and modern original blues injected with a solid dose of gritty roadhouse rock 'n' roll.
Rick Estrin ranks among the very best harp players, singers and songwriters in the blues world. His work on the reeds is deep in the tradition of harmonica masters Sonny Boy Williamson II and Little Walter Jacobs, while at the same time pushing that tradition forward. The Associated Press calls his harp playing "endlessly impressive."
For more than 30 years and nine albums, Rick fronted Little Charlie & The Nightcats under the leadership of Charlie Baty's one-of-a-kind guitar acrobatics. The band won international acclaim and toured the world repeatedly. They were nominated four times for the prestigious Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year. With Charlie's retirement in 2008, Rick rededicated himself to his craft. Hansen and Farrell wanted to keep the band going. Estrin knew the only way to replace Baty's crazed and unique guitar style was to find someone with an equally insane and individual approach, and he knew that would be a tall order to fill, but that is exactly what Chris "Kid" Andersen did!
Anderson spent many years touring with harmonica legend Charlie Musslewhite. It was during those years he honed his skills backing the master "harp" player and received a Handy Award (now known as Blues Music Award) for best contemporary blues album for Musslewhite's Delta Hardware album.
"Without a doubt, this will be one of the most exciting, riveting, raucous, powerhouse shows we have ever presented" exclaims Amy Whitesell of A Music Company In., promoter of the show. "It is the first time bringing in Rick Estrin & The Nightcats. We've waited a long time for this and I guarantee, it will be a sold out show. People had better purchase tickets early if they want to get in the door!"
Tickets are $18 in advance and $23 day of show. A special VIP ticket is available for $38 and includes a reserved seat and choice of catfish or prime rib dinner. Tickets are available on line at www.amusiccompanyinc.com or at the Crystola Roadhouse.

1 Jelly Roll in MODA Lollipop by Sandy Gervais
1/2 yard cream fabric (7521 441 from Lollipop)
1 1/4 yard fabric for backing & binding (17555 13 from Lollipop)
Batting measuring ~15" x 85"
5" strip of ribbon
Spray basting spray (recommended)
I came up with this idea earlier this year after watching the season finale of Desperate Housewives where Mike used a crowbar to remove the panel off the front door jamb that was used as a growth chart for Julie because they had to move out of the house. A light bulb went off in my head! I can make a quilted growth chart that is portable yet permanent. Since nowadays almost no one lives in the same house for their entire childhood, I thought to make a quilted one that can be rolled up and transported but keeps the sentimental value and history intact. Here is my step-by-step tutorial! I hope you and your family enjoy this project for years to come!
Note: You can make this growth chart any length you want. I made this one 80" long because it's for my son and we anticipate him having his family's height genes. All seams are 1/4" unless otherwise specified.
2. Trim selvages and cut 4" wide units from both of your strip sets. You can get 10 cuts out of each strip set for a total of twenty 4" units.
TIP: When you are cutting these 4" units line up the lines on your ruler with the seam lines that run perpendicular for a more accurate cut.
3. Rearrange 10 of your 4" units to get two long strips in a combination you like. For my son's growth chart, I made four strip sets (instead of just two) to get more variety with the fabrics. Jelly Rolls have so many fabrics that you can play around with these strip sets as much as you like.
4. Sew together the 10 rearranged 4" unit pieces to make one continuous strip. Repeat with the remaining 10 units. You will end up with two continuous patchwork strips that will measure 80" when finished. (You can trim now if you don't want yours as long.)
6. Line up all three of your pieced strips with the cream strip in the center and sew together. I recommend sewing with the patchwork strips on top so you can help those seams lay in the right direction as you sew. Press seams toward the outside (patchwork strips).
TIP: My two-ruler shortcut: The backing strips are wider than my rulers so, I line up a ruler that is long enough to cover the width I need by placing the ruler's 14" mark on the right-side edge of my fabric and then line up another ruler perpendicular to the horizontally placed ruler. Now remove the horizontally placed ruler and cut fabric.
9. Quilting: Using your walking foot, stitch around the entire perimeter of the quilt about 1/8" away from the edge. I make the stitch line nice and narrow to make sure my binding will cover up those stitches. Stitch-in-the-ditch on the right and left sides of the cream center strip. Trim away excess batting and backing.
10. Binding: I like to make my own binding from 2 1/4" x WOF (width of fabric) strips. You will need 5 strips if you are making a growth chart as long as mine.
11. Make and attach your binding (using your preferred method) to the front of the quilt only. Cut a 5" long piece of ribbon, fold the ends together and pin to center back of the underside of the binding. You may want to fold the quilt in half lengthwise to get that center mark. Stitch back and forth a few times to secure those ribbon edges to your binding. Then stitch your binding down however you like and your loop should be facing down.
TIP: In case you are wondering about the zig-zag stitches... I zig-zag my edges to help make it easier for me to hand stitch the backing on the back. It flattens out the three layers beautifully.
Note: If your batting is thick or really heavy you may want to make two end loops of ribbon instead of one center one to hold it up better.

%aa**C&(eJL ews ^Y BY CACHE COUNTY FARM BUREAU LOGAN, UTAH, JUNE, 1S20. Number 2 CACHE COUNTY SHIP? FURE BRED STOCK. One of the most important steps in the history of Cache County, having to do with the improvement of livestock of the dairy breed, was undertaken by a number of enterprizing en and boys a few days ago when Mr. Clarence Funk of Richmond, and Professor George B. Caine, of the U. A. C, were sent east to purchase 33 'ead of pure bred holstein calves and bred heifers. These men are well qualified to select good animals. They left for Minnesota May 28th and will be gone- about three weeks. They will pay about $250.00 per head for the stock and wjll bring a very fine string of animals to Cache County. Cache county is now famous for her fine dairy stock so the addition of this shipment will help to extend her fame. They will add a great deal to OTr dairy possibilities. The individuals who are sending ror the stock are to be congratulated for the broad vision they have of the dairying possibilities of the valley. They are among t'.ie pioneers in this line of agricultural improvement and ten years hence the benefits, which will accrue from their efforts, will be almost immeasurable. Fifteen of the individuals who have sent for stock are boys and members of the calf club, the others are adult farmers. The movement is in accordance with a major project for livestock improvement adopted by the Cache County farm bureau. The boys and men who have sent for (Continued on Page Two.) SUNNYMEAD FARM. Cardon and Woodhouse, proprietors of Sunnymead Farm, have employed a herdsman to look after their holsteins. Mr. Cardon feels well satisfied with, their undertaking, because it is demonstrating that they have some very well bred stock. One cow is holding up to about sixty pounds of milk per day and she has been milking over fourteen weeks. Other cows are making splendid records.

A 5-year-old boy in Florida can play the piano better than most adults.
Jacob Velazquez began playing when he was barely 4 years old. His mother says that she discovered his talent when her husband was at work, but she thought she heard him playing the piano and realized it was Jacob.

In fact, Veal Marsala with a side of tortellini in a white sauce at an L.A. resto called Little Joe's was one of the game changing meals of my childhood. I was 9. Before that day, I hated gravy and sauce was what went on Spaghetti.

A driver delivering pharmaceuticals to a pharmacy at Arbor Lane Medical Village was robbed at gunpoint, thrown in a van and taken for a ride.The gunmen tied him up, threw a bag over his head and drove to a nearby vacant lot. The robbers then ordered him out of the truck, took the pharmaceuticals, lit the van on fire and got away."Upon arrival here, the officer determined that there was more that had happened than just a kidnapping. There was also some type of robbery that was involved," said Sgt. Steve Popp."It looks like it had to do with some type of pharmaceutical pills."The kidnapped driver ran to a nearby home and pleaded for help."A guy came banging on the door screaming, 'Help me!"' said Shantel Brown. "I didn't know what was going on, so I looked out the window and I just thought that it was a homeless person or something.... I kept hearing noise, so mom told me call the police."Brown said she later went outside and observed the van on fire.There were no injuries physically to the driver, but according to the pharmaceutical company, this type of crime is happening more and more, maybe not the kidnapping part of it, but the product is a target.No arrests have been made.

And he's letting them know it in this open letter posted to the school's listserv and then reposted by Above The Law:
I realized I hate law and politics. Why? Because I literally hate like 90% of you, and honestly I don't really feel like going down the path that involves being stuck with even more people like you who literally have no sense of humor and get offended over literally everything. You think Clarence Thomas hates YLS? Clarence Thomas ain't got [expletive] on me.
I've watched as you guys get offended over the dumbest [expletive] and wax political over the dumbest [expletive]. LOL. I mean wow, and seriously, this [expletive] school. If the sticks up your [expletive] were any larger, you guys would give Muslim extremists a run for their money. I thought Muslim terrorists were pretty bad for getting offended to the point of wanting to cause physical violence over a drawing, but I'm willing to bet there are a couple of words I could throw out there on this forum that would turn even you guys into rabid angry dogs. Anger. And Hatred. Over a WORD. A [expletive] WORD. USED OUT OF CONTEXT. I've come to realize that even at the smartest, most "enlightened" institution, students can be literally retarded and have no basic grasp of logic or rationality.
The letter goes on to accuse students of making racist jokes about Asian "tiger moms," and judging him for choosing a career in BigLaw.
In closing, the unnamed student urged his fellow students to "just relax a little bit."
You can read the full letter over at Above The Law.
Really the student should be happy to be attending one of the few law schools that is immune to the JD bubble.
We've written about at least one BigLaw attorney penning a pretty epic resignation letter but this is the first time we've heard of a student blasting his entire class for his hatred of the profession.
Have you heard of any others? Let us know!

So a pizza guy in North Carolina was tased when he went to a house to deliver a pizza. The homeowner tased the delivery man with no reason, but simply because he wanted to try it out. Let me just say, I don't think it's humorous that the innocent pizza guy got tased, I just don't understand the other man's thinking...if he just wanted to try it out, he could have easily done it to himself. ;)

A woman was giving a man a ride through her transportation business when she says he began attacking her with a hammer and drove off in her vehicle. Witnesses in the parking lot were able to help the woman and chased after the man, helping police find the stolen vehicle. "I was drenched in blood."Bonnie Preston doesn't want to show her face - it is bruised and swollen, sewn back together with stitches after she says a man beat her with a hammer and stole her car."[I've] never experienced anything like this before - still in shock," her son Tim tells Fox 2's Amy Lange. "I'm glad my mom is okay."It all started when Bonnie took a call from 59-year-old Leodis Strong around 8 p.m. on Monday. Bonnie has a transportation service that takes people to the store or to doctor appointments. Bonnie picked Strong up and went to a parking lot here at Davison and Linwood streets. She says Strong was outside her vehicle, talking to a friend, when she had a bad feeling about the situation. She says she was just about to drive away when Strong jumped through an open window of the car and started attacking her with a hammer. As Bonnie struggled to get out of her vehicle some witnesses nearby started yelling at the suspect to stop, and they chased after him when he took off in Bonnie's Trailblazer. "Thank you. I appreciate everything you did. If they didn't show up I don't know what would have happened," Tim says. The witnesses helped police recover Bonnie's stolen Trailblazer later that night. Tuesday afternoon Detroit Police arrested Strong. Strong is currently on parole, having served time for auto theft, felonious assault, home invasion, armed robbery and murder. "It's real terrifying for me. I feel she's a brave woman for going through that. I just wish it never happened," Tim shares.

David Yurman uses color fearlessly, combining gemstones in unconventional ways to create truly distinctive and captivating palettes. "Fashion has color moments," he says, "but the reality for me is it's not about trends. There are moments when you want something soft and muted, and moments when you want something deep and rich. I like the idea of mixing colors that you don't often see together, which might feel a bit odd, yet the result is refreshing."
The Cable bracelet was David Yurman's first celebrated design. Introduced in 1983, it was an immediate success, and remains to this day one of the world's most renowned and beloved jewelry designs. The iconic bracelet comes in many variations, ranging from all-metal versions to designs with gem-capped finials or mixed-cut bezel-set stones. When stacked, they create a captivating story of form, texture, and color.

As I have been going through the DIY Network message boards, I noticed that there was not much information on home security. Here are a few quick and easy DIY home security tips that can help prevent a burglary in your home:
1. Install a peep hole in your door. Always be sure to check who is there before you open your door for anyone.
2. Lock your doors and windows even when you are home.
3. Keep all electronics and valuables away from the window.
4. If you are going away for a few days, have a trusted friend or family member take in your mail, newspapers, and other assorted signs that you are not home.
5. Keep your home well lit inside and out.
Here are some additional DIY home security tips.

Most home break ins, are actually opportunity walk ins. Unlocked doors to the home or garage. Get in the habit of locking your doors after entering, just as you would buckle your seat belt when driving.
And for as little as 25 dollars, you can purchase an
official ADT yard sign and 5 ADT security alarm stickers off EBAY. It may send a would be thief down the block instead of your home. There is no easy way for them to know if you have the alarmed security system or not.

@conrad: signs can work but remember if they're stupid enough to try in the first place, they may be stupid enough even with 50 security signs. Good call on always locking your doors. Home security is useless if they can walk right in.

Dan, Dan, Dan...it's all Spam, spam, spam.
Had you truly put together a list of security tips then yes, you would be just posting to be helpful. A little self-serving perhaps, but no harm, no foul.
But no, you embed links to to a sales pitch from Brinks (even in your follow-up post about not spamming). That's spam, no other word for it.
Jaybee, what a great idea! I think I'll try it by inviting telemarketers to come, then advise them to form a circle as you have suggested. Or maybe I'll do it with those pesky people who come around preaching and leaving their literature on my door despite my notice that solicitors are unwelcome.
Spam or sales pitch, whatever, but it's not meant to help us, especially since some of the "tips" are so standard that they're commonly known.
I'm just obviously getting over the spamming increase we have seen here in the last 6 months or so - even though I know it's just a part of internet message boards.
These are not bot responses, but rather barely-on-topic posts that make a quick sort-of reply to the thread and then insert their link: Home security, chandeliers, and now even mattresses are being peddled. All it is are places to post links - each hit = a fraction of a cent income for the spammer. Unfortunately, just my act of clicking on the link on the spam in this thread gave our spammers what they wanted - it doesn't matter if you purchase anything in the link, as long as you click on it the counter is tripped and they get paid. The best response is no response. It is sad and pathetic that a method of making a living consists of spending long hours huddled over a keyboard just to make a "human" response so you can insert a link that earns you 1/200th of a cent if someone clicks on it - but with the Internets ability to put the spam link in front of millions, it can actually turn into measurable money.
A very low post count with the above described short, non-native English speaking sounding response with an embedded blue-highlighted link = spam.
Low post count with a full return address including street address and zip = spam.
We can reply to these spam posts as much as we want, just avoid clicking on the blue-highlighted link.
now that's excellent advise from Jaybee, but why doesn't diynet delete these messages when they are reported. I reported this guys message several weeks ago but nothing has been done, so what I've been doing is exactly what Jaybee advises
boards manglement apparently has issues getting rid of anything that isn't flat out spammery on its face. put in one useful tip (don't advertise your vacation absence and address on Craigslist!) and they don't jump you for poaching on their expensive infrastructure sneaking your own ads in without paying a nickel.
for make no mistake, these boards draw attention to Scripps and their friendly advertisers. otherwise, we'd have to pay per post.

sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
And everyone give a big 'welcome back" to the subject of this thread - just posting under a different name.
What amazes me is that these spammers don't give up. Do they really think we are that stupid?
It especially irks me that they can't even write in the accepted language.
Many other forums on which I've posted are monitored by an administrator who deletes offensive posts, whether they's spam or not.
And for persistent pests, such as trolls who pretend to need advice but reject it out of hand, their IPs are blocked and the only way they can again post is to do so from another computer.
So the thing to do is just block the IP addresses of these spammers and nuisance posters. I understand that monitoring a forum is time consuming, but one quick read of a garbled alleged message and a blocked IP will stop that pest.
My thought is why not keep newly joined posters from posting all links (usually to their businesses), for a set length of time as well as a set number of posts? Kind of a probation period, if you will?
it would be fitting if A Major Board someplace had a little cast-off PC loaded with bogus names, addresses, and phone numbers to back-spam the spammers. find one, turn the "sick puppy" loose on them from some other line, and drown them in junk.
seems that's all they know out there, the folks who spent $39.95 for "101 Sure Ways to Boost Your Business With A Computer."

Best security lesson I have learned is in the garage.
This is a one handed operation.
One arm bandit isn't only at the casino.
Do you know how easy it is to wedge a garage door in top center from outside and then stick a wire loop taped to top of a 4 foot stick through this entrance and fetch the emergency puller latch ? The garage door basically opens by itself and then you just lift with 1 hand. Someone needs to invent a security device so this doesn't happen. Happy millions ! Ty.
they have. it's called "hunk 'o' rebar." bend one and stick it in one of the cutouts in the roller track above a roller.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Ah true. After i google'd it i have discovered there is actually some really nice garage door security devices.
You know, that's a pretty sneaky idea. Good, but sneaky.
The key is to always make it appear that someone is home even when you're not.
We just got settled into a house but I don't know if there's much value in a home security system. Why not get a big dog or something like that? I certainly don't want to install it myself but the missus thinks we can do it.
it's pretty easy to install the bits and pieces. if you go wireless, then there's no wiring, but the control station needs to be programmed.

At Hanford, the former plutonium production facility located in Eastern Washington, not much takes place without a carefully designed plan. With 56 million gallons of the most highly contaminated nuclear waste on the planet stored in underground tanks at the site, human and environmental health depend on the precise work of Hanford employees and their strict adherence to written procedures.
Documents called Alarm Response Procedures, commonly known as ARPs, spell out what steps need to be taken when an alarm goes off to indicate an anomaly or emergency, such as a release of radioactive particulates into the environment or a leaking tank.
But KING 5 has found that on October 9, 2011, when an alarm sounded to alert the monitoring staff that -– for the first time ever -- one of 28 double-shell tanks holding the worst waste at Hanford might be leaking nuclear waste, the shift manager on duty couldn't find the ARP that would give detailed information about what to do. The manager hand wrote in his log book that the tank's leak detection system "is in alarm," but he is "unable to find ARP"
The day after the alarm sounded, the private company hired by the U.S. Department of Energy to manage the underground waste tanks at Hanford -- Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) -- sent veteran instrument technician Mike Geffre out to inspect the equipment monitoring the tank, called AY-102. Geffre found the leak detection system was in proper working order -- meaning the alarm that sounded on the 9th was not false. But after confirming the alarm, Geffre had no ARP to consult to see what action should be taken.
"I thought there would be a whole protocol of investigation, looking to see what was going on, maybe putting cameras in and looking to see where the waste was coming from. I just assumed that was in place," said Geffre. "Well, there wasn't any of that in place. There was nothing. No plan. Zippo."
Rainwater theory
The company reported to federal and state regulators that its experts believed rainwater, not nuclear waste, had seeped into the space between the tank's primary and secondary shells. WRPS managers noted that it had been raining in the Tri-Cities area for several days and suggested that the rain must have triggered a false alarm.
In addition, WRPS officials reported that radiation readings recorded by the leak detection equipment weren't out of the ordinary for this particular tank.
But the alarms recorded in October 2011 were just the first of several red flags that went up over the next 10 months that highly radioactive sludge was leaking out of a huge tank's primary wall and into a space not engineered to hold the material. It would take a full year for WRPS and the Department of Energy to confirm to the public that the tank had in fact cracked, allowing nuclear waste to ooze out.
No plan stalled action
Nuclear science and policy experts told KING 5 that the lack of an ARP -- a roadmap on how to investigate what exactly put the equipment into alarm -- was a grave error.
"If you have a procedure in place for everything except for the big critical failure, I don't think it's a failure of vision. I think it's a decision. You've decided this is something that is not going to happen," said Boston-based civil engineer and radiation expert Marco Kaltofen, who's traveled to Hanford many times to conduct research.
"The problem with hazardous waste of all kinds, radioactive wastes, is that when you sit on them the problems get worse. Every day you wait, it's more material that you have to dispose of, more stuff gets contaminated and the problem gets worse and more expensive and harder to control. That was a big mistake," said Kaltofen.
"They've wasted money, they've wasted time. We can't afford to do those things out at Hanford. It's too urgent of a problem. All of us have too much invested in that clean up to succeed for that kind of mentality to prevail," said Tom Carpenter, executive director of the watchdog organization Hanford Challenge.
WRPS insists it had response plan
Media specialists for WRPS told KING 5 in April that that a written alarm response plan existed when the first leak warning sounded in October 2011.
"There is and has been an established Alarm Response Procedure (ARP) for the ENRAF (leak detection) system," wrote company representatives.
But KING 5's thorough review of all WRPS Alarm Response Procedures connected to double-shell tanks found no plan.
"Well they lied to you then," said Dick Heggen, a retired Washington State Department of Ecology employee who served as a state compliance officer at Hanford.
"They failed miserably, and at this point the Department of Ecology and the Department of Energy need to get on their case and make sure they have one (an ARP) as soon as possible. I would say in a week or less. If they don't, when another one comes around or if this one gets bigger what are they going to do?" said Heggen.
After KING 5 briefed WRPS officials on Thursday that a report on the lack of an ARP would be broadcast the following day, WRPS External Affairs Manager Jerry Holloway wrote to KING 5 to say he needed to make a clarification to the company's original statement:
"Procedures for responding to ENRAF annulus alarms were in place as part of two separate tank farm operating procedures in October 2011. An additional Alarm Response Procedure (ARP) was not necessary because AY/AZ farm ENRAFs alarm to the Tank Monitor and Control System (TMACS) surveillance system which is monitored 24 hours a day and includes alarm response procedures. A second procedure also covered follow up response to ENRAF alarms."
KING 5 confirmed with employees who work closely with the leak detection systems at Hanford that the company's statement to KING 5 is not accurate. Instead, only in June 2012 -- eight months after the first leak alarm -- were two additions made to the company's manuals about the leak detection alarm. And to date, an ARP describing actions to be taken when leaked waste material is detected in a double-shell tank's annulus space still has not been written.
"This could have been totally avoided if they would have listened to me about two years ago," said WRPS technician Mike Geffre. Geffre told KING 5 he urged WRPS managers to write and put into action an ARP for this particular alarm in 2010.
"I told them we were not prepared in case one day one of our double shell tanks really did have a leak. We calibrate this equipment all of the time. Sometimes it goes into alarm because the plummet (detection equipment) has drifted out of position. But what if it was the real thing? You can't assume it's always going to be a false reading. I mentioned it more than once and thought it had been taken care of. I was wrong," said Geffre.
Quick action to address a leak in AY-102 was important given the nature of the high-level waste the tank contains, according to Bob Alvarez, a former nuclear policy adviser to President Clinton. Tank AY-102 contains massive amounts of the nuclear by-product Strontium-90 –- more than any other tank at Hanford. Strontium-90 sinks to the bottom of waste tanks and generates heat so hot it boils the material around it.
"It's been known for over 50 years at Hanford that high heat loads at the bottom of tanks cause them to leak and crack. This is not unknown," said Alvarez.
The contents of AY-102 will eat through the secondary tank liner -– the final barrier between the toxic sludge and the environment -- faster than any other material at the site.
"There's an enormous amount of decay heat in that tank. It's like having a grill the size of a basketball court lit up with gas going on constantly," said Alvarez.
WRPS holds the contract to manage all 177 underground nuclear waste tanks at Hanford. Twenty-eight of them, including Tank AY-102, are double-shell tanks that are considered the most robust and reliable tanks for keeping nuclear waste safe until technology is developed to permanently dispose of the materials. Now that one double-shell tank is confirmed to be a leaker, experts consulted by KING 5 said being prepared with an ARP is more important than ever.
"If you're alarming that, testing that, and you don't have a plan for when you find something? Why are we out there in the first place? Everybody go home. Forget the whole thing," said Kaltofen. "You have to know what to do in advance of finding a leak. If you don't do that, how are you going to handle the rest of Hanford?"
