    really weird... after i post all this stuff about FP&L having an outage........ i lost power at my house for like 2 hours today. I'm hoping that it's not a big deal at the plant. I haven't seen anything on the news yet, so that's good.
  6. BuckyTuba
    there's a lot of complicated issues with running a power grid. that's why the people downtown who run the transmission group get paid big bucks to monitor the grid. we got to visit "method", a.k.a. our transmission control center. they buy and sell power with other adjacent grids when they need it. very complicated job, but i have a more complicated job in my opinion.. i knew i would be slightly belittled with some sort of nuclear joke. thanks guys.......... it wouldn't be the same w/o the jokes.

    well, the real question is why the substation blew up, and why wasn't the relay tested and operable? someone is going to lose their job over this.
  8. BuckyTuba
    So here's the information my friend Tim sent me: As I expected, Undervoltage/Underfrequency Trip.
  9. BuckyTuba
    I guess that's me. Well, as of this morning, they really didn't know what happened. My guess is that there was some disturbances on the electrical grid. This can be caused by a sudden change in usage or a drop of a power line. Anyways, there's certain limits of the frequency of the power output can be. The normal frequency is 60Hz. There's a limit on time that a plant can operate when it's a certain differential away from 60Hz. Like if it's 59.9, it can be like 5 minutes, 59.5 - Trip the plant instantly. I'm guessing they find some spike of usage, and the nuclear plants HAVE to trip off, because that electrical instability can cause reactor instability which can cause more problems (we're talking reactor trips and core damage). The Turkey Point nuclear plants functioned as they were supposed to yesterday, go offline at the first sign of trouble. FYI, Turkey Point is an old plant, my good friend from UW Nuclear Engineering, Tim, works for them as a Reactor Engineer, so I'll see what really happened. The crappy thing is that it affected Progress Energy's (my utility) grid in Florida. Some of our customers lost power, but it was quickly restored. EDIT: Language (Caught myself, sorry mods)

    Hammer, that parade is the BOMB. I played that with the tuba section when I was a sophomore (2002) and we got absolutely loaded. Open bar at brothers!

    i was about to say, jenkins sighting. traded for a hot dog eater, hilarious.
  14. BuckyTuba
    Ok, I don't know if it opened today, but it was either today or yesterday. The real question is how many leagues are you going to find yourself in? I think I did 2 last year.... I'm already in the Buckyville one, and I'll probably do one on here.

    How can you say Harris is a disappointment? He's averaging nearly 15ppg, 5apg this season.... in an offense that doesn't even showcase the PG. The Mavericks offense in a nutshell: slowly bring the ball up the floor, pass it to Dirk or Howard, isolate defense... take jumpshot, hope Dampier gets offensive board. Occasionally run the pick and roll. Not to mention Harris is one of the best defensive PGs in the Western Conference. I guess no one remembers how he locked Tony Parker down to get to the Finals 2 seasons ago. The only reason they didn't beat the Heat was because Dwayne Wade was getting EVERY call under the sun... Harris was shutting him down for the most part, it's easy for someone to score 30 pts when he takes 20 shots and goes to the like 15-20 times a game. If this deal eventually goes through, I don't expect the Mavs to make it to the Conference Semifinals.

    Nets get: Harris Maurice Ager Diop 2 Expiring Contracts (George, Diop) 2 First Round Picks (2008 and 2010) for: Kidd Malik Some 7ppg bench forward 2nd round pick. seriously, Devin for Kidd is a steal for the Nets if they can lock up harris for more than 3 years. throw in the salary cap room and a couple late first rounders and it's a RIP OFF. i'm slightly biased on this deal... since i'm a childhood pal of devin, but still.... WOW

    also on realtor.com, if you use the find an agent tool, you can find buyer's agents in your area that specialize in first time buyers. it's listed under their name in the search results.
  21. BuckyTuba
    Yes, get a buyers agent. The buyers agent splits what the seller's agent would have gotten for selling the house. Furthermore, if they are good, they can determine if the seller's agent is trying to screw you on the price... which they most likely are. My buyer's agent drove down the price about $9000, and then I got another $2000 back in closing costs. She handled most of the paperwork and was a great reminder for little things i needed to take care of. Go to realtor.com and look for an "ABR" in your area. The big thing is to not let the buyer's agent sell you one of his/her own listings... and they're required to explain that on the introduction before you sign anything. If you sign with a buyer's agent, you aren't required to buy anything, but you can't buy anything without them for a certain period time. In conclusion, GET A BUYERS AGENT.... especially if it's your first time buying!

    in a baseball game, there's maybe 1 or 2 bang-bang plays in the entire game. plus you're not moving at all.... no physical activity required.... you wonder why baseball umpires are the fattest? even if you get 3 umpires, then you have 1 ump on each baseline and a homeplate ump i forgot hockey.... i still say it's basketball, hockey, football, baseball
  23. BuckyTuba
    I'd say baseball is very easy since there's 4 umpires on the field watching basically 1 ball go around... football is hard, but there are 7-8 officials on the field with assigned duties. basketball is insane because there is so much going on! and only 3 referees. those referees are rotating duties as they move up and down the court (one side of the court, watching the 3 second violations, boundaries... other side you're looking for primarily fouls). i'd say the best workout comes from basketball too, since you're trying to keep up with the action. when i worked at the sports camp in massachusetts, they wouldn't let me referee basketball although it was a sport that i was considered "proficient" in. i only umpired and coached baseball.

    i'm getting about 1200 back from the fed, and $37 from north carolina. i'll be using it to pay off one of the following: washer/dryer combo furniture car house tv that i'm buying today
