  1. Never heard of it. Worked there two and a half years (2001-2003) as a contractor and have had my hands inside Unit Three and Unit Four generators. Not saying it is not so but I did not see any evidence of Hydrogen cooling. And yes there is cooling water for the turbine engine housing and turbine support equipment much like a car engine. The other steam dissipate is make up water and condensate. I will admit my back ground is electrical not mechanical.
  2. The steam turbines are water cooled not hydrogen cooled. They have experimented with a water precooler to reduce steam evaporation but it has not been fully implemented. The steam you see rising from the 400' towers is the heat energy being dissipated by air cooling and released through evaporation. That water recycles into the cooling pond and eventually circulates back through the steam turbine. The precooler is designed to minimize the water lost through evaporation. All four turbines are on the third floor and depending on which part of the plant you are in it rises 12-14 floors if I reme
  3. I have used Avast for a couple of years with no problems. Don't know how it rates but I have not had any issues.
  4. Coming in late to the conversation with just a couple of comments. I told my mom last week when the indictments came down "Gelatinous Ass" would start screaming "I can't take the stress of a trail I am in poor health". BINGO. I saw on the news tonight GA's attorney is concerned because she (GA) has some health issues. Secondly if you depend on a union to stand your ground or fight your fights it does not say much about your back bone or your confidence in your job skills. I was in a union ( a very powerful well respected union) for twenty years and in the end I realized it was little more tha
  5. I believe they are just posturing. Making noise to gain attention in the hopes that some all inclusive do gooder (UN) will see their plight and poor billions of dollars into their economy (which will be stolen) to bring them into the 21st century. Having said that this guy is a whack job like his daddy and could do something really stupid like attacking South Korea. They are totally surrounded and out gunned. They have no allies ( China is not their ally and would invade and take their land in a heartbeat) regardless of their apparently common political beliefs. So I think yes they are full of
  6. Permit? You don't need no stinking permit.
  7. "Why should they have to spend TIME and MONEY". MONEY. I rest my case.
  8. How are these people being discriminated against? Is marriage a constitutional right? In my opinion the court will leave it up to the states so the same situation as the Jim Crow era will apply to this issue. And yes legally it is as easy as obtaining power of attorney if your "partner of 30 years" is on their death bed as far as last wishes and legal issues are concerned. However this does not apply to taxes, benefits etc. which is the root cause of this argument anyway. As stated earlier this case is all about money and possessions. If there is an issue it is with the State of California an
  9. They court could interpret the case using this as precedent. I will not start a debate nor state my opinion on whether homosexuality is a genetic trait or a lifestyle choice. If interpreted as a lifestyle choice it does not carry the same "disadvantaged" status as being born black, hispanic, female, etc. It is a landmark case in many aspects and will be interesting to see the opinion of the court.
  10. I admit I cracked a grin when I heard of the indictmnets. I hope they are prosecuted by competent council unlike many high profile cases in the past have been handled in the ATL. Although I do believe these will be federal prosecuters not state due to the racketeering charges.
  11. And your point? Still not a constitutional issue.They can aquire power of attorney and make these decisions just like anyone else.
  12. The whole Gay Marriage issue is about money not civil rights. They want insurance coverage, tax structures and inheritance rights that currently apply to married couples. The gays have every right you and I do according to the constitution. Marriage is not a constitutional issue. That is what the Supreme Court has been hinting at all week with the exception of wacadoodle Ginsberg.
  13. Paulding County government/public services (not public safety) have been closed on Good Friday for as long as I can remember.
  14. He hath showed thee, O man,what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk HUMBLY with thy God. Micah 6:8
  15. Never been on FB, never seen a FB page open to my knowledge. I do not have time plus I find it shallow and narcistic. Too much drama who cares what someone is doing 24/7. I gave up passing notes in the sixth grade. I guess if you are bed ridden, elderly or disabled it would help you feel connected to the world that is the only redeeming factor I see in it. JMO.
  16. Rickie Poe has not been in business for over five years he runs a manufacturing plant in Dallas. David Pugh is the professor at Auburn not Rickie Poe. Kirk Underwood and Walker are good so is Rose Coker. Bill Taff is the best large animal vet in the area but you probably won't get him to come out he does mostly incalls. Stacey Hollingsworth in Bremen is a good large animal vet also. I really do not know much about the others but whatever you do do not use the one in Villa Rica that ryhmes with Breg Gurnette.
  17. This is the only bus that was out today I got behind all the rest this morning.
  18. My opinion of homosexuality has nothing to do with religion or lack there of. I personally am not attracted to men in a sexual way. I find it disgusting and frankly freakish. I do not discriminate against gay folk but choose not to socialize with them or condone their life style. That is my choice and no group or groups agenda is going to change my thoughts on this issue. JMO
  19. Will give them a try thanks for the info.
  20. Not to politicize a absolutely horrible incident. It is tragic and heart breaking. But how could anyone say these two deserve to live. Give them their day in court if the details hold true take them out and hang them, right there, right then. I do not care about their age, race, home life, education or mental capacity they are predators with no more redeeming quality than a hyena.
