    To the consultant owners / small business people here....

    Sorry, but are you two both talking about scope-creep from the client making more work which wasn't initially defined, or are you talking about something that legitimately wasn't seen at the beginnig of the job which the contractor just needs to deal with and not bother with readjusting the...

    Does anyone ride in here?

    For me, as long as I was moving, it was tolerable. I wore a Shoei X11, which vented pretty well, and when I was on the street just light gloves and a joe rocket "Phoenix" jacket which also vented really well. Stopped at redlights was really rough, and you have to make sure you drink a lot...

    To the consultant owners / small business people here....

    thx for the feeback dexman! actually, the cost of the MBA is one of the reason that i'm pursuing it. the company i currently work at pays for 75% of all tuition and books, so it's not actually that expensive for me.... i figure i might as well take advantage and get as much education as i can.

    To the consultant owners / small business people here....

    What skills (outside of your engineering skills) would you say have been instrumental in your success? What do you wish you knew more about? i.e. better finance/accounting, more advertising, etc. The reason I ask is I'm getting ready for an MBA, and I'd like your input.

    Does anyone ride in here?

    Used to, ended up in the hospital a few times, taking a break. Hopefully will get back on one of these days. In college rode every day, even when it was 115deg out. 40k miles in two years on my R1, and about 10 track days. All of mine were performance bikes though. RC51, R1, CBR600...

    underwear bomber

    Here's the flaw in your (and most of America's) logic. THere is no 100% sure-fire way. All that there is, however, are reactive changes. "Oh! They tried to use liquid explosives, quick, ban liquids!" "Oh! He tried to use a shoe bomb, quick, search shoes!" Explosive swabs aren't 100% by any...

    How about intelligent screening policies like Israel? Ask good questions to people who are likely to cause problems, and actually keep people off planes who have gone to Yemen and studied at schools which are known to teach violence? Better xrays, better searching, no hands in your laps...

    October 2009 Electrical Power Exam

    I took the lighting portion only from the standard handbook. IMHO, I think the Camara and NCEES practice exam were the most helpful books. Here's a list of stuff I used to prepare for the exam, use it at your own peril. :screwloose: I took most of it from threads here on EB, started...

    Some Good Fiction Books

    Rand paid out of her own pocket for the extra pages of Galt's speech and some other portions. The original publisher wanted to trim it. I liked her books, even if they are verbose.

    How Much of Pay Raise after PE Certification?

    KEG, your books had good luck for me on the exam.... I hope they also have good luck in the pay department! 10k would be amazing. There'd be an SRT10 in the garage next to the Z06. ;)

    Would you call the hiring manager?

    If there's anyway you can meet him in person (just stopping by the office to say hello to your friend, whatever excuse you can make), I think you'll have a lot higher chances. People are less apt to just brush you off in person than they are over the phone. However it might be seen as...
