Yes. but I do actually believe that good-lookingness is one of the most important criteria, when it gets down to actually landing a job…..I have heard that Japanese teenagers and twenty-somethings get into plastic surgery, to help in the hiring process..

i’m a bit surprised by your first, most important point-‘personal appearance.’ Are you being facetious?

Most important – personal appearance and presentation. Second, hard-working, thorough and detail oriented. Third, non-temperamental or idiosyncratic. But good-lookingness trumps it all..In my humble..!

both are too funny! love the comments in the denverinfill blog…

I would think first in avoiding the erosion. You can use straw bales in the water lines or some thing similar.

Then, you can think in the vegetation. You have two ways, first let it recover by it self, or you can try to replace the existing vegetation by hidro-seeding or some thing else in the end of the summer or in the autumn.

This is just a…[Read more]

Thanks for that chris.

Here’s my denver infill suburb contribution: Brown Vista at Lookout Mountain Meadows

Reminds me of the subdivision name generator, particularly the DenverInfill Blog one. 🙂

Yup, that goes on the desktop as a widget for the next splurb I gotta write – a truly invaluable tool, which lends itself to TLA’s (Three Letter Acronyms) with disarming ease. The perfect Jargon Mill. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

it depends on what YOU are trying to accomplish. If you are working for a firm they tend to use the accreditation of the principles and senior project managers (minimze liability exposure), and accomplishments that are held by junior members of the firm are generally ignored, other than and overall count (we have 6 licensed LA and 3 LEED certified…[Read more]

Hey Daryn, myself being someone fairly new in the industry I would also like to know a few opinions. My first position was in a large firm that heavily pushed the LEED accreditation which I unfortunately passed right after our office was closed. I think that it was a great thing to learn, and think it may help in a smaller office for the points…[Read more]

In looking at your profile Daryn I see that you have a good amount of experience, so your question may be less generalized than I assumed. I’m looking forward to what the more experienced members have to say.

My thought is that it seems like the discussions on accreditation here ultimately boil down to the marketability of particular…[Read more]

Your gonna need to know elevation, orientation, location, vegetation (ecotone), slope, nutrient in the remaining soil, and native seeds on the ground, and condition of the disturbed land. If it’s just burned then there are still significant nutrients and seeds in the top soil and you will only need to stabilize the soil. If it’s already eroded…[Read more]

A 2″ radius isn’t quite enough. I would go with at least a 4″ radius. A 2″ radius would be fun and challenging! I’d still try to skate the 4″ radius, just to see what it was like and if I could come up with any new tricks that were perfect on a 4″ radius. Skaters (like much of humanity) are attracted to curves.

It’s pretty easy to solve this with good design. As a former skateboarder with 25 years experience I can speak with some authority here. Skateboarders hate bad pavement, or cracks, or cobblestone or anything that isn’t perfectly smooth. The diameter of wheels has been hovering around 50mm for 10 years or so. That’s really small. They also use…[Read more]

Yes, hideous indeed. It’s true that this will stop grinding, but not board slides or nose and tail slides. It might be noted that 4 more courses of cobbles and 95% of the skaters wouldn’t be able to access it, and it wouldn’t be an issue. Or a noticeable issue at least. If they can air that gap, they I say let them ride.

Thank you Aurelien.

I have found out that the place is the wisteria walk at Hermannshof, Germany

Heavenly beautiful, isn’t it?

Hanbury garden in Italy maybe ?
