You can research licensure requirements in other states and perhaps get your license there instead, and transfer it through reciprocity.  That’s what I did!

Sorry Taj, I grew up skateboarding. The bench is 4′ long, making each section of rail 2′. That is plenty long to pop up on as you’re cruising down the street for a quick rail slide. It would also be really nice for a fakey nose grind.

Sorry guys… the rails aren’t long enough for skateboarding. It isn’t a rail slide if there’s no room to slide 🙂 The bench is definitely not ‘Civil’. Take the bars off the top and widen it a bit so people can sit, sleep, and skateboard freely. 

sounds super delicious and economical.

Sorry, I can’t help it. Every time I hear the word pond I think;
 

I believe that I might find it discomforting to be sitting there and then have a stranger sit on the other side because we’d be almost face to face. At least with a conventional bench you’re not forced to engage the person sitting next to you.
I don’t want to be on a love seat with some dude at a bus stop.

Are you talking about building a dam? Altering the natural hydrology can really have unforseen outcomes. Sediment loading alone can create major changes (Erosion) downstream. The professions most skilled at figuring out these complex interactions may be in the engineering fields: hydrogeologists, for example. Large scale water manipulations…[Read more]

It reminds me of a victorian love seat (if victorians had stainless).  It also looks like it may get used as a bike rack. 
 
Snarking aside, I like the idea of encouraging people to sit on opposite sides of a bench–it gives a sense of privacy, and would probably allow people to be closer to each other than they would otherwise feel comfo…[Read more]

I’d find a home pretty quick if I had to sleep on that bench.   … another example of landscape design elements reshaping society for the better!   

Help, I got caught between bars and seat in freak accident while reaching for a hanky- chest being compressed – call out the Fire Department, bring a blow – torch!
 
 

Chicken & mushroom ravioli with butternut quash sauce. Wicked good and cheap to boot. Make a full batch of pasta and sauce and you’ve got two lunches for around $3 each.

that’s my favorite breakfast!

Oh, by the way, that is actually THREE benches put end to end.

How are they going to draft for us if the don’t have eyes…?

Making it “work” could be as simple as using stainless for the seat and rolling the edge of the seat to match the radius of the tubing. Another option would be using 1″ boxed tubing, stacked two together, fabricated at 90* angles instead of bends to match the aesthetic of the existing seat. You could also create short backs for each section,…[Read more]

First thought – Uncomfortable
 
Second thought – why not give people the ability to sit how and where they want, we should not force people to sit specific ways because of the design.

I totally agree they they should make reciprocity easier. Why do you have to prove your education and your references when you already did it with your state and CLARB to even SIT for the exam? And to pay CLARB an abscene amount of money annualy just to keep a few kilobytes in a database, then pay AGAIN to transmit the info. I could do the same…[Read more]

Just because you are licensed in one state, it doesn’t automatically guarantee reciprocity even if the state has a reciprocity agreement.  I was licensed in NJ in the 80’s (the first year they had licensing), met the education and experience requirements and passed the UNE.  In 2005 I applied for licensing in NY via reciprocity.  I had to pro…[Read more]

Part of not seeing this coming might be because you did not go to a LAAB accredited school and were left in the dark about the licensing process. I went to a small accredited program out in the sticks and we were absolutely well briefed on internship and licensing standards in the nation despite the fact that the state that it was in did not…[Read more]
