Has anyone been asked to provide their state board for verification of their PDH's? Texas doesn't require you to submit anything when you renew your license annually, but they do ask you to keep records in case of an audit. Recently a coworker was asked by the Texas board to supply verification...

Here's a question about drive up ATM's. We've all heard the joke about the braille on the drive-thru ATM. I can understand that maybe its a standard key pad that they also use on walk up ATM's. But my bank has braille encoded buttons surrounding a CRT screen and the CRT screen displays the...

Here in San Antonio we were looking at getting hit by Ike. We are a good ways inland so it would only amount to a nasty set of thunderstorms by the time it got to us. So I made sure I had a full tank. There was a run on food supplies and bottled water at the super markets and walmarts. But I...

He probably saw that movie "Arlington Road". Of course he might be afraid of his kids teachers after seeing "The Substitute". Or archaeologists after seeing "Indiana Jones".

I don't demonize drinking. I make sure everything I tell him is 100% true. Good and bad sides. Scare tactics don't work on teenagers. If they see your bluff, you lose all credibility. The advice I give him is that same I got from my father.

I put down zero. I was never one to drink. I always associated it with being dizzy and nauseous. Considering I got queasy on the ocean liner Queen Mary last year, I just never found a reason to start drinking. Even typing the word 'queasy' makes me a little queasy. I only preach the...

I got my current job through Aerotek. I never worked for Aerotek however. They contacted me based on my Monster.com profile. I interviewed with them, and then I interviewed with the employer. I will agree they "suck ass". I don't feel they helped me at all in getting the job. Their screening...

I don't think nukes would work on an enemy willing to die to kill us. Japan just had Kamikaze pilots, not a Kamikaze army. We will get through these conflicts by bringing technology and opportunity to the general population. Once they see what its like to worry about who's gonna win a...

I miss the luxury of having coworkers that don't mind the yelling and cussing. I also miss the satisfaction of punching a large CRT monitor right in the middle of the screen. This new job is in a small office with all genders, and age groups represented. So I'm pretty much left with mouthing...

Texas spoiled me... I got a score for my PE. Both when I failed and when I passed. I finished the LEED exam in the first hour. I spent another 5 minutes reviewing the 4 or 5 questions I marked. I almost didn't want to know how I did. I was confident I did well, but I always have a few doubts. I...

That was a fun exam. Passing was more funner.

I have two of the "the other board" books, the sample exam and the practice problems. I just took the sample exam the other day and got close to 75% right. I'm working trough most of the practice problems this week. (exam on monday) I'm mixing that with a little memorization of the credits...

http://www.cce.ufl.edu/LEED/precourse.asp http://www.cce.ufl.edu/LEED/quizzes.asp Some practice questions some might find useful. I don't know how they compare to the actual exam. I hope they are much harder then the exam, otherwise... :suicide1:

Studying. I was just trying to understand what I was reading. Thanks for the reply, it was very reassuring.

Pretty specific question here... In credit EA4, Enhanced refrigerant management, where do the "Rc" values come from? Page 223 of the reference manual has some examples but I don't know where I'm supposed to find the "Rc" values. I found a table with default maximums, but nothing seems to match up.
