    After 10-28-11  GAME ON!

    I have dragon age 2 and haven't beat it because this giant dragon keeps murdering my team out at the mines. From what I've heard, Origins is much better than 2. I'll have to grab a copy some time and see for myself.

    After 10-28-11  GAME ON!

    What do you mean by DX11? I played Left4Dead a while back and the graphics looked so terrible compared to Modern Warfare that I had to turn it off right away. But I do love zombie apocolypse games, i.e.: Resident Evil 4. and Don't you mean Brotherhood, Revelations isn't out until 11-15-11.

    Should have had this on the list: Final Fantasy XIII-2. 1-1-12. Square Enix can definitely count on my $60.

    Mock exam question

    I'd like to get to 'case closed' on this problem. There were several different conclusions from board members. The original flow provided is 834.25 cfs, adding 20% makes the new flow target = 1001.10 cfs. In order to solve for the depth using the equation for the area of a trapezoid, you have to...

    NCEES WR/ENV 2011 sample question 509

    For an open channel flow question where you have a known Q and are solving for an unknown rectangular width, using Manning's you'll have the unknown width in the numerator and denominator of the left side of the equation. I have an HP33s and Casio fx115es and have briefly reviewed their equation...

    ***What is your test taking strategy***

    The idea that skipping a problem that you don't know how to do, and then somehow, on a problem down the line, you pick up a clue that helps you solve it, is a recurring theme in these strategy threads.  I wonder if it's just a matter of recalling the material by working an easier problem, or...

    Activated Sludge Problem

    Thanks for posting that write-up. Something I'm not 100% clear on is the flow of return activated sludge and waste activated sludge, do the flow (MGD), concentraion (mg/l) or loading in (lb/day) always have to be given in order to determine those parameters. Can they be found knowing the...

    Structural Problems - AM Breadth

    When you say 'enough' for the entire AM session, had you studied the CERM at great length and it helped you to be able to solve the problems easily, or do you mean that the look up questions were easily found in the CERM?

    Activated Sludge Problem

    I incorrectly tried to solve this probem by including the RAS as Food. For the CERM equation 30.3 the book states that So is usually taken as the incoming BOD. Isn't RAS measurable as BOD?  I guess the way I need to remember it is that the concentration coming from the primary clarifier is the...

    All-in-One Civil PE Exam Guide by Indranil Goswami

    I recently completed the morning section of the Limburg sample exam and had a tough time with a good number of them, especially the structures problems. I skimmed throught the WR/ENV depth exam and those problems all look overlly complex and time consuming. My current plan is to work all the...

    Study progressing but feeling overwhelmed

    When i took the test, I was running out of time with like 10 problems left, I skimmed through them to look for freebies and found a few, including the last one, which took me only a few seconds to solve. I passed my first try, but just barely, it might have been that decision in that last part...

    NCEES Practice Exam Booklet

    I just called and spoke with a Missouri Board rep. and she said that the Missouri board requires only the guideline imposed by NCEES, exactly what's on the 2011 candidate agreement. The agreement says only bound materials are allowed. That means that the NCEES sample questions book is allowed.

    Who was the worst President since the Depression

    It's been said that if the far-right became the dominant force of the GOP, then the GOP would be doomed. That wasn't the case with the house and senate victories of 2010. The 2012 election, in my eyes, will be the final verdict on the matter. If Bachmann and Perry have to keep appealing to...

    My daughter lost her first tooth yesterday. It had been loose for a while and it was corn on the cob at school that finally did the trick. She said it only hurt a little. Might sound strange but I felt super proud of her.

    sludge thickening, equalization basins

    I tried to solve this problem on my own but was getting nowhere because I was multiplying the solids load by the fraction of percent solids instead of dividing. I recalculated the answer with a sludge specific gravity of 1.2 which gives a sludge mass of 10 pounds per gallon, and you end up with...
