Seems ok, Edward, but as an eternal student, my favorite into to the art was by our geology professor, Giegengack, telling us stories of notorious and hilarious failures, mostly by the Army Corps of Engineers. The second most interesting presentation was Sir Peter Shepherds slide shows on design details, aboslutely magical presentations full of…[Read more]

I don’t think young people are that much different in 2013 as they were when I got out of high school in 1980. Some are/were respectful, studied hard, and worked hard and some …. not so much. However, I do believe that adversity forces motivation and that there has always been easier times and harder times that affect generations in general…[Read more]

Is Socrates hiring? Whats their website address?

Oh how the young ones are not the same as they used to be.  

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their…[Read more]

So people don’t step on the children’s toes.

You ain’t kiddin’. This is a pretty big development with a Target, a theater, a fake poorly done “main street’ and a huge grocery store. There are probably a few hundred of these planters with trees in them on site. All the parking shade trees and decorative Crape Myrtles are in them, the line the sidewalks, and actually block vehicular views at…[Read more]

Vectorworks has this feature in Landmark – fantastic program, good value and you save the cost many times over in the saved work time that would go to calculating, counting, transcribing etc.
 

There was a main street “beautification” in the 70’s in a NC downtown set up like this (only difference: square boxes). I later heard the explanation that the merchants didn’t want trees in the ground as they might “hide” the stores. ??? (which the huge boxes actually did to an extent and cost more than putting the trees in sidewalk…[Read more]

wowzer… that’s a doozy.

haha… very good day.

Good day for the precast salesperson.

your right. that is the best conventional, at this point one could argue traditional, way to get past what happened. pass the exam and start practice.
the right thing would be for CLARB to hear the complaints of all of their candidates and provide the credit. but we all know by now (from past experiences) that CLARB is not a stand-up, exemplary,…[Read more]

I feel bad for anyone who lost credit due to CLARBs test format revisions. I know many people spend lots of time and money in order to further their careers, and it can seem very unfair when a seemingly faceless organization proclaims that your previously passed tests do not count. That stinks. I hear you.
I also think you all are talking about…[Read more]

I am searching for any and all candidates who lost any LARE exam credit during CLARB’s transition. We could get a class action lawsuit started if we can get enough people.

1) CLARB’s short notice was intentional. The main purpose is so that the fewest amoun of candidates possible are given a fair shot. Reason: CLARB’s statistics show that it takes the average candidate 3 attempts to pass the last 3 exams. By offering a “1 year transition” most candidates don’t have time to take the last 3 exams 3 times since…[Read more]

LOL – Will do!

feeling more and more confident with everyone’s support !

Thank-you Henry – your words help; that does makes me feel better. And wish me luck!
🙂

Secondly, your message is so wonderful and sweet, I already feel hopeful!!  This is such a generous and great offer.. absolutely I would love for you to mentor me, I would be so grateful.
So logistically, how did…[Read more]

Richard’s right. Vectorworks Landmark has a couple of tools that would help in this. The first is the plant placment mode for triangular array, which once you create the shape, you convert it to a plant, with the triangular array on and it will arrange the plant symbols, according to the specified spacing in that area. Another tool that helps in…[Read more]
