Title: One Night in Tehran: A Titus Ray ThrillerAuthor: Luana Ehrlich
Website: http://www.luanaehrlich.com
Genre: Christian thriller
Amazon Purchase Link:
Reviewed by Ron English originally for Amazon
Amazon Reviewer: Ranking 330,190
Mrs. Ehrlich, I have just completed reading your novel, "One Night in Tehran". To say I was delighted with the storyline is an absolute understatement. You are a wonderful writer and storyteller. I don't know what I was expecting, but you exceeded by a country mile all of them. You set the stage for the next book. Your skill matches beautifully that of John Grisham and James Patterson. I have often said that authors and TV dramas could be just as interesting without profanity if they majored on the story. You have proven this to be true. The skillful and beautiful way you handled the Christian faith aspect was so well done that no one outside the faith should be concerned or have any hesitation in picking your book up and diving in. Christians on the other hand will marvel at the wonderful treatment you provided your faith and ours. Our Lord, I am sure, is happy with your book and will bless you abundantly as people discover this work. God bless you richly and thank you for this powerful story of intrigue and local setting. With best wishes for your next book and the next appearance of Titus Ray, Your Norman Fan, Ron English

The other night a lady told me she had a couple age spots on her face. She needed something to get rid of them. While I don't have any myself (so far) I know a lot of people have them on their face, hands, arms, etc.
Age spots are also called Liver spots. They are common and just one of the many perks of aging. While they are normally a sign of aging, younger people can get them due to sun exposure.
So now you have them, what can you do?
There is several creams and bleaching agents you can get that provides the retinol you need for removing these aggravating little flat brown marks.
See How Easily You Can Conquer Age Spots!
You can also try different home remedies that really inexpensive.
As with anything there is several things you can try.
1. Aloe Vera.
I love this stuff. Not only is it great for burns it is good for digestion and age spots! The aloe vera hydrates the skin and that is good for these spots. The best way to do it is if you have a plant. Just tear a piece off and squeeze the juice directly on the spot. If you don't have a plant available you can buy the gel at most stores. No matter where you get the aloe from, you just apply the sticky substance to the spot. Rub it in, leave it on about 30 minutes, then wash off. Do this twice a day for about 6 weeks and you will eventually see the spots lightening up and disappearing even. One of the products, John sells, is aloe vera. I think I will be making sure I have some stocked in the house.
2. Onion juice mixed with Apple cider vinegar
This sounds horrid smelling, But it is supposed to work well. Just apply with a cotton swab, leave on 30-60 minutes and wash off. Do this a couple times a day. I even read one place that you can mix the apple cider vinegar with hot water and drink it down. It will give you a healthy glow and speed up the process. This would be tough for me to do, but it depends I guess how bad you want rid of those spots.
3. Lemon Juice
Just dab the lemon juice straight on the spot. DO NOT go out in the sun while the lemon juice is still wet. This will attact the sunlight. The acid in the lemon supposedly helps fade the spots.
4. Pomegranate juice
Do this much like the lemon juice. Dab it on and then have a glass to drink. This juice helps regenerate dead skin cells and reduce age spots.
While there is several different remedies that you can try, things such as – buttermilk, watermelon rinds, castor oil or cucumbers etc. The 4 above would be the ones I would try out first.
Another thing you could do for age spots, is try covering them up with makeup. The same lady told me she tried covering hers up with makeup but they still popped through.
Be sure when trying to cover up age spots with makeup you do the following:
1. Use a moisturizer with sunscreen.
Like my post the other day about Moisturizer, I believe that is the most important step.
2. use a primer.
This evens out the face and fills in pores.
3. Concealer.
Try using a peachy color, this will cancel out the dark color of the age spot. Very gently dab a small amount over the spot the rub it in easy using a makeup brush.
4. Put on your foundation.
Just apply as normal.
5. Face Powder
brush a coat of regular face powder over your face as normal. This sets your foundation.
You can always just wear the age spots proudly. You have earned them! They do not make you any less of a person.
One last thing.
Age spots are not dangerous. Just keep an eye on them and learn the difference between a regular age spot and something that could be more concerning such as moles, or different types of skin cancers. If you aren't sure which one yours is, be sure and ask your doctor. Nobody will think your crazy for asking. In fact I think your smarter for the asking.
Do you have age spots? If so, do you have a home remedy or special cream that you would suggest? If so, leave a message in the comments below!

Obesity — A Matter of Life and Death
More than one-third of adults (36 percent) classified as obese during 2011-2014, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. For many, severe obesity is a matter of life and death. Many people who are seriously overweight have tried different diets, medications and professional weight-loss services for years without long-term success. Manatee Memorial Hospital offers weight-loss surgery that can help seriously overweight people get the long-term weight loss they need.
What is Weight-Loss Surgery?
Weight-loss surgery helps people lose weight by reducing the size of the stomach or bypassing part of the patient's intestines. After surgery, patients eat less food to feel full and satisfied.
There is more to surgical weight-loss surgery than the procedure itself. To be successful, patients must make major changes in their lifestyle and eating habits. For example, following surgery, patients must:
- Restrict the amount and types of food they eat
- Avoid drinking liquids with meals
- Stick with a regular exercise program
- Take vitamin and mineral supplements.
Types of weight-loss surgery >

Get the latest information on outpatient surgical procedures from healthcare professionals.
Is Weight-Loss Surgery Right for Me?
Weight-loss surgery may be right for you if:
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You are at least 80 pounds overweight, depending on other health conditions
- Your Body Mass Index is greater than 30
- You have tried other weight-loss methods without success
- You are medically stable and physically able to withstand surgery
- You pass a psychological screening test that helps ensure you are able to comply with post-surgical behavior modifications
- You complete all required pre-operative testing.
Getting Ready for Surgery
Before surgery, your surgeon will send you for preoperative tests and lab work. If you're a smoker, you may have to stop smoking as early as a month in advance of your surgery.
Answers to frequently asked questions >
Your Hospital Stay
Shortly after your surgery, you'll be able to start on a liquid diet. As you progress, you'll move to a diet of pureed foods, then to a diet of regular foods, as instructed by your doctor. Your individual progress will determine the length of time of each diet phase.
You and your doctor will discuss a post-operative plan that will help ensure your long-term weight-loss, including referrals to nutritionists, exercise programs, psychotherapists and support groups.
After your weight-loss surgery, you will eat significantly less food to feel full. During the first several months of reduced food intake, some patients experience nausea, vomiting, food intolerance, changes in bowel movements, constipation, transient hair loss and loss of muscle mass. Most patients see a significant improvement in how they feel when dietary intake improves.

Individual results may vary. There are risks associated with any surgical procedure. Talk with your doctor about these risks to find out if bariatric surgery is right for you.

There's a special Canadian wrinkle to the general argument used to rebuff critics of massive government spying on private communications: your phone calls, emails, etc. The argument goes: if you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. The Canadian wrinkle has to do with the environment.
The National Post's Jen Gerson interviewed a U.S. privacy expert. She asked about the PRISM program, by which U.S. agencies spy on Internet activity based outside the U.S., but which routinely rebounds back into the U.S. He said, "... if we have intel that a reporter in Vancouver is a terrorist or whatever we're going to ask for communications from the U.S. to Vancouver over this time period. They can get that, run an algorithm to see who's been talking to X, Y, Z, maybe see your email address and your email to me ..."
Now why did he use that example? Could it be because Vancouver is a centre of opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline and other ways to move dirty Alberta oil to the Pacific coast. But isn't all that surveillance directed at global terrorists?
Here's the link: Stephen Harper says devious "foreign money" is being used to hijack our regulatory process. Energy Minister Joe Oliver says "there are environmental and other radical groups" out to "achieve their radical ideological agenda" who take "funding from foreign special interest groups to undermine Canada's national economic interest." And in his strategy on terrorism, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews includes "causes such as animal rights, white supremacy, environmentalism and anti-capitalism."
So picture the algorithm that "runs" when PRISM checks the Internet traffic between Vancouver and the U.S. in search of "terrorists." It will twig at pipelines, environment, native peoples, regulatory hearings and funding from foreign sources that are more like the Sierra Club than Al Qaeda -- in a search also implying treason. It's a long way from 9/11 and the twin towers.
But let me narrow that gap. The day after 9/11, White House figures were already discussing how to use the attacks to justify one of their dearest projects: invading Iraq. The same day some Bush team members were said to have challenged their staffs to think creatively about how to use the disaster. It's a Washington cliché to say you should never let a good crisis go to waste.
Yet even in that dodgy company Stephen Harper's creativity shines. He's found a way to integrate the panic over jihadi bombers with his single-minded economic focus on Alberta energy extraction, by targeting the mostly benign, non-violent environmentalists of B.C. That's some serious dot-connecting there.
Let me add a final note on the simple odiousness of being listened in on, even if you don't feel bothered by the suppression of legitimate protesters like environmentalists. Back in the 20th century I'd occasionally have my phone tapped or my house bugged. It had to do with helping unions organize immigrant workers or working on the editorial board of a left-wing magazine, composed mostly of academics and writers. The latter met every week in my dining room for about 20 years. In the late 1980s we were told both by a source in Canadian security and a Globe and Mail reporter that our meetings were being eavesdropped on by CSIS because we might be plotting acts of terror. It was ludicrous but also I suppose a bit titillating.
A morning radio show host interviewed me about it and asked how it felt. He treated it lightheartedly since we knew each other and maybe he was trying to make me feel better, but I heard myself bark, "It's sickening if you really want to know!" I hadn't realized how invaded I felt but recall your own reaction if your home has ever been broken into and ransacked. Or merely how you feel on those occasions when someone at a nearby table appears to be listening in as you have an intimate or painful -- or just normal -- conversation. Now multiply that by the power of the state with its global spycraft tentacles plus its ability to totally decimate an ordinary, decent life. Think, for instance, of Maher Arar.

More people are reading rabble.ca than ever and unlike many news organizations, we have never put up a paywall – at rabble we've always believed in making our reporting and analysis free to all.

Our only supporters are people and organizations -- like you. This is why we need your help.
If everyone who visits rabble and likes it chipped in a couple of dollars per month, our future would be much more secure and we could do much more: like the things our readers tell us they want to see more of: more staff reporters and more work to complete the upgrade of our website.

How to make better financial decisions in 8 simple steps
The question of how to make better financial decisions comes up again and again in my work. Clients often come to me, afraid that they will never know how to make better financial decisions. It is common for them to feel that they have got into a pattern that has served them for many years, and therefore it will be impossible to break.
As we get older it's tempting to think that we can't learn new things. Think of that old saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" Don't believe a word of it!
Every single one of us has the ability to change.
We are all capable of learning new skills. Taking that first step is often the most difficult part.
I will not pretend that learning new tricks is easy. It's not! It takes guts and it takes determination. However, with the right attitude, it's fun!
In growing my business, I have had to learn so many new skills. From web design to writing blog posts, SEO to sales pages and marketing to mission statements, it has been a steep learning curve. I have sat by the computer, on numerous occasions, sobbing with frustration as the blooming thing wouldn't do what I wanted it to do. (and I never cry. Well, apart from at things like DIY SOS! I blame the kids – before I had them I was normal!) Anyway, I digress.
Do I just give up when things don't work? No. I dry my eyes, get back onto google and work out where on earth I am going wrong.
Which brings me to the first piece advice when learning how to make better financial decisions.
1 Believe in yourself!
You can learn, you can become "good" with money and using your new skills will help you to improve your life.
2 Find the gaps in your knowledge
Before you start learning how to make better financial decisions, you need to know a bit more about your current situation. What are your strengths and weaknesses in making financial decisions? You need to know which decisions you are already confident with, as well as identifying where the gaps in your knowledge are. By downloading "How to make better financial decisions", you will get a simple financial analysis which will help you to easily identify your strengths and weaknesses.
3 What should you work on first?
Don't expect that you will change into a financial whizzkid overnight! It will take time. Identifying the order of importance of your weaknesses, will help you to decide which ones you should tackle first. If you can set yourself small, achievable goals, then it will make your journey much smoother.
4 Improving your knowledge
Once you are clear on what you do and don't know, you can then think about how to improve your knowledge in the poorer areas. Increasing your knowledge is the main thing that will help you to learn how to make better financial decisions. If you have a sound knowledge of that area of finance, you will then be in a position to make better decisions, and you will have confidence in the decisions that you make. "How to make better financial decisions" is packed with resources that will help you to learn new skills easily.
5 Make it a habit
Improving your knowledge of each area is easier if you can build it into your daily life, and make it become a habit. Think about times that you could easily fit in 20/30 minutes of learning. What about your commute to work? Could you use this time productively? Could you listen to a podcast as you do the ironing? Or miss DIY SOS, save the tissues and learn something new instead?
What about making a money date with yourself at the weekend? Would you enjoy sitting with a lovely coffee, on a Sunday morning, reading the finance section of a newspaper or magazine?
Finding some time to learn new financial skills will be a massive investment in your future, that will change the way you handle money today and for the rest of your life.
6 Put your skills into practice
Learning more about how to make better financial decisions is brilliant. It will help you now and forever. However, having the knowledge is only the start – you also need to put your new knowledge into action.
Start small. Think about a small financial decision that you could take and think about the impact that could have on you. Practicing with the small decisions first is a great idea. Think hard about every single purchase that you make for a whole week, right down to handing over that £2.50 for a coffee. Why are you buying it? Is it a good decision? Is it good value? How do you feel about the purchase? Does it have an impact on any other areas of your finances? Does it impact on your future financial position? Would you make the same decision again tomorrow? There are no right or wrong answers to the questions – it's just about getting you to become aware of your thought processes as you are buying. Just stopping to think about purchases can help you to make better decisions and this will help you to gain in confidence that you are capable of learning how to make good financial decisions.
7 Moving on to bigger decisions
You can then start thinking about having the confidence to make good financial decisions on a bigger scale. eg: Rather than auto-renewing your house insurance why not take the time to compare policies? Set aside an hour specifically for that purchase and get started. Firstly start by learning as much as you can about what you should be looking for when comparing insurance policies. Then use a couple of different online comparison websites to see if you can find yourself a cheaper deal. If you are successful with this, then you will find a great sense of satisfaction and feel proud that you are able to make better money decisions.
Once you have had some success with small decisions you can then move onto bigger things that you have perhaps been putting off! Eg: Do you stick with your current energy supplier, because you are scared of changing? Learning about the switching process, asking questions if you still don't understand, and gaining the confidence to switch could save you £200 per year!
One area where people often put off making decisions is in future planning. It seems very scary and difficult to understand, so it just gets ignored. As you develop your confidence in other areas, you will feel that you can tackle this one, confident in the knowledge that you know how to make good financial decisions.
8 Knowing who to ask
Part of learning to make better financial decisions is knowing where to ask for help. If you would like to join my Your Money Sorted Facebook group you will have a safe place to ask questions. The group is for women only and you will find a wealth of information is shared on there.
If you would like to start gaining in confidence in making good financial decisions, then this FREE download will help you to quickly and easily identify your strengths and weaknesses. It is also packed full of information to help you to learn how to improve your knowledge. The impact of learning how to make better financial decisions will be absolutely invaluable to you today and every day.
I hope that you enjoy the immense feeling of satisfaction that comes from taking control of your situation and changing your life for the better.

Queen's Professors on Trump's Trade Policies
Over the past weekend, Donald Trump's official ascension into American leadership cut what may be the ceremonial ribbon onto a new era of global politics. After the renewed promise to end American carnage, Juris Diction met with two experts at Queen's University to discuss their perspectives on the President's trade policies and its impacts.
Nicolas Lamp is a professor here at Queen's Law, specializing in international trade lawmaking, and has worked previously as a Dispute Settlement Lawyer at the World Trade Organization. Marcus Taylor is a professor and political ecologist in the Department of Global Development Studies at Queen's University whose research focuses on climate change, food security, and global labour markets.
JD: What are the pros and cons of international trade?
Prof. Nicolas Lamp:
Free trade makes us richer by giving us access to cheaper products. We also have access to greater choice and are able to specialize as workers.
It's always been known that there are winners and losers from trade. The winners definitely include corporations, because they can move and allocate capital where it is most efficient, as well as highly productive and specialized workers in developed countries.
Those who lose out are the low-skilled workers in the same countries because they are now less competitive than low-skilled workers in other countries. And the problem specifically in the United States is that the impact of the losses from trade has been very geographically concentrated in areas such as the Midwest.
Prof. Marcus Taylor:
OXFAM came out with figures the other day showing how concentrated global wealth is and so there's a lot of sentiment about the inequalities which global finance and trade have created. That doesn't necessarily have much to do with international trade as it does with politics within countries which allow massive concentrations of wealth – take, for a contrasting example, Finland.
Trade is just a way of moving goods around, but it's the ends to which the trade is pursued which is perhaps more problematic. The idea of globalization is to increase trade in the service of mass consumption. And the idea of development is to generalize that to as many populations as possible.
Although we're producing more efficiently, by producing more and more the efficiencies are squandered. We've improved how we produce goods in terms of greenhouse gas released, raw materials and fuel, but we're still increasing the size of the consumption pie so much that those efficiencies get wiped out. At our current consumption rates we would need one and a third Earths and we're eating into resources which cannot be regenerated. What we're doing at the moment is unsustainable.
JD: What will be the effect of Trump and his trade policies on the global scale?
Prof. Nicolas Lamp:
Trump essentially has a transactional approach to foreign policy where he approaches everything as a business opportunity, but this actually makes me less worried about Trump's impact in trade because that's how trade negotiations have been working for decades. It's always been that you get what you pay for – "reciprocity" has always been defined very narrowly in trade negotiations, as "payment". I think that if Trump tries to go back and renegotiate trade agreements, the result he's going to end up with is not very different than what we already have.
The big question is whether Trump is going to do what he's going to do within the framework of the WTO. And while Lighthizer (Robert E. Lighthizer, a trade lawyer nominated as Trump's trade representative) has been dismissive of WTO obligations, hopefully he will see that the US has a stake in preserving the system as well. The system provides the US with leverage to constrain other countries.
Prof. Marcus Taylor:
Climate politics and trade politics are joined when it comes to US-China relations. My fear is that if trade barriers go up, then it will just lead to factionalism, antagonism and a breakdown of any kind of cooperation in the climate sphere. This is such an easy scenario to play a lot of brinkmanship politics, which is the kind of politics that Trump likes.
For instance, in climate negotiations at the moment, countries have pledged to reduce emissions. One of the principles is that richer countries should fund the poorer countries to enable them to transition and to adapt to the climate change that's occurring. So one fears that if the Trump administration doesn't take climate change seriously at all, then it will just use the threat of not taking it seriously to leverage its other political aims. Unfortunately, the climate change threat cannot be tackled outside of a multilateral cooperative agreement, and the clock is ticking.
JD: What is our role as students and activists today?
Prof. Nicolas Lamp:
What we have to think about as trade lawyers is how to address this imbalance of power between capital and labour which trade creates. One movement in that direction is that increasingly we see labour provisions in trade agreements. There are obligations for countries to strengthen and enforce labour rights so that the workers will regain a greater share of that surplus that is generated through trade.
Another way to re-appropriate that surplus, and I think that's where we will have to look towards in the future, is through taxation. The State needs to re-invest the gains from trade in infrastructure, education, and retraining in order to increase job opportunities. For instance, one place to re-invest is the service sector, where there's a lot of demand for work and we just have to make sure it's properly paid and properly valued by society.
Prof. Marcus Taylor:
That's a difficult one, because while the political cycle is seen in terms of election years, the climate cycle doesn't run along to that. Right now, the fight is seemingly just to convince an administration that climate change is real and needs to be taken seriously.
I think it's time to push pressure on politicians in Canada to lead very strongly [on fighting climate change] because there is a consensus in the developing world on tackling it. And potentially, the presence of a climate obstructionist in the White House might galvanize others to go farther than they would've gone before in knitting together a coalition to overcompensate for what is coming south of the border.

To share in the joy and delight of the sea with people all over the world
Bringing people together through marine sports. We bring you the activities Yanmar is undertaking to make this a reality.
Already an Official Technical Partner of two-time reigning champions ORACLE TEAM USA, Yanmar has been selected to be the Official Marine Engines Partner of the 35th America's Cup.
Yanmar's marine engines, which power the ORACLE TEAM USA chase boats, have now been installed on VIP shuttle boats for the 35th America's Cup. Their high power, durability and exceptional environmental performance will support the on water operations of the America's Cup and help deliver the excitement of the America's Cup to spectators on site. Having supported ORACLE TEAM USA through its previous victory in the 34th America's Cup, Yanmar will again join the champions in Bermuda when racing kicks off on the 26th of May, 2017 in the Louis Vuitton America's Cup Qualifiers.
The America's Cup brings teams representing yacht clubs from around the world together to compete at the top of sailing in the world's premier maritime event. Founded in 1851, the event has a history that stretches back over-160 years with the "Auld mug" widely known as the oldest trophy in international sport. In recent times, the event has become known as the "F1 of the ocean", with teams incorporating the latest advances in engineering, material sciences, boat building, fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and meteorology in a high speed race across the waves. The very best high performance engine technology is required to support the teams.
Here were the standings at the end of the Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series:
The ranking positions from the Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series determine the seeding and bonus points for the Louis Vuitton America's Cup Qualifiers.
With the World Series behind us, the focus now turns to the Louis Vuitton America's Cup Qualifiers, the Louis Vuitton America's Cup Challenger Playoffs and the America's Cup Match itself.
America's Cup Qualifiers
(Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, France, Great Britain and the USA)
Louis Vuitton America's Cup Challenger Playoffs and Final

Bermuda: 26th May – 12th June, 2017
America's Cup Match presented by Louis Vuitton
(Winning Challenger vs Oracle Team USA)
Bermuda 17-18th & 24-27th June 2017
ORACLE TEAM USA is the defending champion of the America's Cup, after winning the last two editions in 2010 and 2013.
Skipper Jimmy Spithill led his team to an inspiring comeback win over Team New Zealand in the last Cup. Down 8-1, and facing match point, ORACLE TEAM USA won the final eight races of the match to win the America's Cup 9-8. Now, Spithill is preparing to lead his team to a 'three-peat' — a third consecutive victory.
Spithill, along with COO Grant Simmer and sailing team manager and tactician Tom Slingsby, has assembled a younger, stronger crew, capable of facing up to the massive physical and mental challenges posed by the new America's Cup Class boats.
The design team features many of the top American and international yacht designers in the world, while ORACLE TEAM USA's boat-builders and shore crew are second to none.
Yanmar provides both the marine engine (8LV inboard marine diesel engine) and drive system (ZT sterndrive systems) for the Yanmar chase boats, which are critical to the team's efforts on the water. The boats, which can reach speeds of over 50 knots (92.6 km/h), constantly follow the race boats and not only provide necessary support, but also track race progress, gather and analyze real time data on the crew's performance and are ready to provide support for any eventuality. The chase boats have to be able to respond with speed, power and reliability in extremely demanding and rigorous conditions, and the Yanmar marine diesels and drive systems are held in high regard by the team.

When it comes to lane width, less is more.
This post explores a state highway section with 9 foot travel lanes, and will demonstrate that in spite of transportation agency misgivings about narrow lanes, Forest Hill Boulevard performs better on crash statistics than FDOT guidance for similar roadways, while offering advantages in the form of reduced construction costs, less negative impacts to adjacent properties, and decreased stormwater runoff, among other positive benefits.
Transportation agencies routinely make arguments against roadways such as Forest Hill Blvd. that are not based on studies or facts, but rather are based on conjecture of what might happen if narrower than standard lane widths were utilized. Since Forest Hill Boulevard is a real road in the real world it provides an opportunity to observe 9′ lanes in practice and not conjecture.
Livable streets advocates often recommend the use of 9′ to 10′ wide travel lanes instead of wider 11′ to 12′ lanes for several reasons, including:
- Lower construction costs
- Less right of way acquisition required
- Decreased stormwater runoff
- Lower maintenance costs
- Lower travel speeds and less injurious crashes
- Smaller footprint which can allow limited right of way to be reallocated to other uses such as on-street parking, bike lanes, or landscaping.
Even with all of the advantages of narrower travel lanes it is often impossible to have transportation agencies allow the implementation of narrower travel lanes. The FHWA summarizes the potential adverse impacts to safety and operations for a design exception for lane width as follows:
- Sideswipe (same direction) crashes
- Reduced free-flow speeds
- Large vehicles off-tracking into adjacent lane or shoulder
Jeff Speck's article, "Why 12-Foot Traffic Lanes are Disastrous for Safety and Must Be Replaced Now", provides a strong case for why reduced free-flow speeds are desirous and how narrower lanes help to achieve lower speeds and safer streets:
Forest Hill Boulevard Details
Our case study is the section of Forest Hill Boulevard (SR 882) in West Palm Beach between I-95 and S. Dixie Highway. This section of road has five lanes and is classified as an urban minor arterial with an AADT that varies from 28,000 at the western end near the I-95 interchange to 17,000 at the eastern end near S. Dixie Highway.
In spite of the 17,000 to 28,000 vehicles passing by each day on the road the walk on the sidewalk is relatively pleasant. The trees provide much-needed shade on hot Florida days and also a feeling of safety from errant vehicles.
The sidewalk and a wide tree-lined landscaped buffer frame 48′ of asphalt located between the curbs. As shown in the below section from FDOT, Forest Hill Blvd. was proposed to be resurfaced with 9′ wide lanes and a 9.5 wide center turn lane.
It seemed unbelievable that Forest Hill Blvd. had 9′ lanes so Walkable West Palm Beach field investigators measured the lane widths to verify.
Walkable WPB confirmed the 48′ curb to curb dimension, but, as shown in the below section, there were a few minor variations in the lane and shoulder widths compared to the FDOT drawing. Forest Hill Blvd. has 9′ wide inside travel lanes located between narrow, by highway standards, adjacent lanes.
How do roads such as Forest Hill Boulevard compare from a traffic flow and traffic safety standpoint to a similar 5 lane road with 11′ to 12′ lanes? There isn't much information on the performance of 9′ lanes, but by reviewing the data on 10′ wide lanes we may be able to glean some insight. In Jeff Speck's article he states that there are very few studies on the issue of 10′ wide lanes, but the few studies that do exist support the theory that 10′ lanes are as safe or safer than 12′ wide lanes and have the same vehicular capacity.
An analysis of crash data obtained by Walkable WPB from FDOT for Forest Hill Boulevard also supports the theory that narrow lanes are as safe as wider lanes. For the 0.787 mile portion of Forest Hill Boulevard just east of the I-95 interchange to S. Dixie Highway there were 60 crashes from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013. From this data a crash rate of 3.094 crashes per Million Vehicle Miles (MVM) is calculated by averaging the 17,000 and 28,000 AADT counts. 60/[(22,500 vehicles per day X 365 days a year X 3 years X 0.787 miles)/1,000,000]
This crash rate is less than the average crash rate provided by FDOT. FDOT provided the following information on average crash rates via email:
The average crash rate for 4-5 lane urban divided roadways with painted/paved median for the 2011-2013 period For FDOT Managing District number 4, which includes Palm Beach, Martin, Indian River, St Lucie and Broward Counties, is 3.719 crashes per MVM.
The FDOT crash data for Forest Hill Boulevard is available for download here.
Buses are cited as a reason to not utilize lanes narrower than 11′. Forest Hill Boulevard has bus service.
A few feet reduction in lane width can have a huge change in appearance of a road. Below is a photo of a five lane road in Palm Beach County that meets the standards.
…contrasted with our study section of Forest Hill Boulevard
The first photo of the standard five lane road provides a 3′ shoulder, 11′ lanes, and 12′ center turn lanes for a total of 62′ of asphalt. Note, the lack of trees because there isn't room for them. Forest Hill Boulevard only requires 48′ of asphalt for the same five lanes of traffic. The difference between the two roads is dramatic.
On which of these would you rather take a walk or own a home?
The Forest Hill Boulevard section is more nuanced and contextually sensitive to the area where it is located. Designing a street section for an urban environment involves tradeoffs. We must avoid the tyranny of specialists who demand that we design roads to optimize only one outcome for one mode of transportation at the expense of other modes. The "standard" five lane road shown with 62′ of asphalt optimizes auto comfort at the expense of higher maintenance costs, greater stormwater runoff, less comfort for pedestrians, and lower property values. A question that engineers and the public should be asking is if the benefits that wider lanes provide for automobiles outweigh the costs. Does the design make sense for the context in which it is located?
Many of the improvements recommended in the Jeff Speck West Palm Beach Walkability study require that FDOT roads in West Palm Beach have their lanes reduced to a 10′ width. While FDOT has switched from 12′ to 11′ lanes in urban areas there is still significant resistance to adopting lanes narrower than 11′ in width. For those that are frustrated at the continued reluctance to utilize 10′ lanes a quote by the German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, may provide some comfort:
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Given the Forest Hill precedent that 9′ lanes work in an urban environment then what logical argument is left to deny the use of 10′ lanes in low speed urban roads? Even the Federal Highway Administration is endorsing context sensitive design on streets designed for speeds less than 50 mph. From Streetsblog:
The one-size-fits-all approach to street design has been propagated, in part, by federal standards that apply to a surprisingly large number of urban streets. But not for much longer. In what appears to be a major breakthrough, yesterday the Federal Highway Administration proposed rule changes that will allow cities and towns to more easily design streets in a way that's consistent with an urban setting.
Bill Schultheiss, an engineer with the Toole Design Group, said the changes are welcome news.
"We need to move away from cookie cutter, cut-and-paste designs and allow engineers to be the creative problem solvers that most of us naturally are," he said. "This is a tremendous change of direction by FHWA that needs our support."
It's worth noting this is a relatively busy minor arterial, according to its FDOT classification. Of course, low volume neighborhood streets can be even skinnier still.
Big Asphalt and the Bigger Takeaway
The American transportation model operates under the belief that if some asphalt is good, more is even better. Wider roads drive positive economic indicators, so the theory goes: More asphalt = more growth, more jobs, more tax base.
Forest Hill Boulevard demonstrates there is a point of diminishing returns to this approach and at some point roadway expansions do not increase our prosperity, but rather decrease it (I highly recommend watching Urban3's analysis of Palm Beach County property tax productivity for the evidence). Our national obsession with short term growth manifests itself in public malinvestment in highways; repeat this same scenario one million times over and you start to find some answers for why we're having trouble paying for basic infrastructure maintenance despite decades of robust economic growth post WWII.
If you're interested in changing things, Strong Towns is an organization working hard to get us back on a path of a fiscally sound development pattern and sustainable transportation funding. Here's a great place to start the conversation.

text: Ok, so I've come across some problems..... I used this guide - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=168...t=0&start=0 I was unable to install bootmii to boot2, so I installed it as an IOS. I DID back up my NAND though (thank god) I skipped the IOS36 step and it all went fine. Then I used http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=184057 to update from 3.3 to 4.2 This ruined Preloader, and trying to reinstall it said something about IOS36 being edited. Also, I was unable to run homebrew apps from SD, came up with the 'not a valid Wii application' error I thought TBR was the answer, but that failed for some reason. A quick look through one of the threads and some other advice, and I thought DOP-IOS was the answer - using that I patched IOS 21, 36 and 70 This turned HBC upside down, so I reinstalled HBC and it was fine. However, I was still unable to run homebrew apps from SD. I reinstalled preloader, and now my system menu is corrupt. Also, bootmii is not appearing in the preloader system menu. If I access 'boot.elf' through preloader I can get into HBC, and through that I can get into bootmii - however it said that bootmii is not installed thus restoring the NAND is extremely dangerous. Here come the questions: 1)So, should I continue on here to restore my NAND or is there another method? I did come across http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-154/ho...er_0_29-806885/ 2)If I restore my NAND, does that mean everything I've done since backing up my NAND is now completely undone? 3)Once restored, can somebody please give me some advice on how to actually get my apps running? Obviously trying to figure it out for myself reading threads on here hasn't gotten me anywhere

The Divisive Presidential Election Helped Indie Singer-Songwriter Juliana Hatfield Overcome Writer's Block
Jeff Niesel
April 20, 2017 at 2:57 PM
1 comment
Johnathan Stark
Juliana Hatfield
admits that bands had it good back in the '90s. Major labels took notice of the thriving indie rock scene and signed acts that probably wouldn't be signed in today's cash-strapped climate.
"I was not a happy person, so for me, it was kind of miserable," she says in a recent phone interview. She performs at 8 p.m. on April 29 at
Mahall's 20 Lanes in Lakewood
. "But it was great in that everyone was getting signed. Everyone had this chance to get their music to a large number of people. I feel very grateful that I had that opportunity. It came and went pretty fast for a lot of people. There were a lot of great bands here in Boston when I was starting out. Dinosaur before they were Dinosaur Jr. was here. I got to see them in small clubs up close. There were the Lemonheads, Throwing Muses, Galaxy 500 and the Pixies."
Hatfield started with the Black Babies before branching into the Juliana Hatfield Trio and then releasing albums and touring as a solo act. When it came time to sit and write the songs for a new studio album, she initially ran into a serious case of writer's block.
"I often feel like that after I did an album and a tour," she says. "I did a tour in 2015 and the I Don't Cares record [with Replacements singer Paul Westerberg]. That was mostly his writing. I contributed a little bit but it was mostly his ideas. I felt like I had nothing to say, and that happens sometimes between projects. This time was different because I felt like I might have been at the end because I said it all. The outside world came over me and affected me so strongly that I suddenly had a lot to say."
But then the presidential election inspired her to start jotting down some song ideas and she booked a 12-and-a-half-day session at Key Division in Sumerville to cut the songs that would become her latest effort,
. Hatfield produced and played every instrument other than drums on the album.
"I, like everyone else, was in a very heightened state of emotions during the election season," she says. "When it was all happening and when the election happened, my writing kicked in. It wasn't really writing. It was more like vomiting. To call it vomiting doesn't do it justice. There was crafting going on. It happened very quickly and very cathartically. Some of the music I had lying around, the bits and pieces of chord progressions. When I had these lyrical ideas and when I started to feel like I needed to express these feelings, I went looking for the music and put the songs together very quickly."
She says the album's title possesses a certain paradox that she likes.
"Sometimes, someone will talk about a person who appears to be gruff or harsh and say, 'He's just a pussycat,'" she says. "I was thinking about the duality of that and how cats can be soft and sweet, but if they don't like you, their claws will come out. [The title] goes along with my image as well. I think some people hear my sweet little girl voice and think I'm a nice little pop singer, but I've always had these protest songs and these angry songs. People don't always notice it or when they do notice it, they're surprised and confused by it."
Hatfield produced the album and played every instrument other than drums. She says that approach allowed her to make the album "more quickly and cheaply."
"I didn't have to discuss anything with anyone," she says. "I just went to work. I had a great engineer who really helped. I'm not a good engineer so all I could so was just tell him what I wanted it to sound like. When I said I did it quickly, I think that's a good thing because there was no time for me to overthink anything. I think financial limitations and time limitations can be beneficial creatively. You have to forge ahead in a semi-conscious manner. You can't think too much so you get a rawness."
She even shot the video for the tune "Short-fingered Man," a song that benefits from a meaty guitar riff and a propulsive drumbeat, herself. It features her dancing by herself in a hallway in her home. In the clip, the spry Hatfield twists her hips like some kind of human Slinky. "You have to talk gently to him," she snears mid-song, making an allusion to President Trump's fragile ego.
"I was a competitive gymnast," she says. "I do a lot of stretching and yoga, and I wanted to stay stretched out for my old age. I think it's important to stretch your bones and your body. I think a lot of people have no idea that my hips move at all. The video works on different levels. I like that. I think it's funny and that was important to me. It's also a little angry. It's a put down. It's also sad. It's a woman lamenting the fact that a man can't satisfy her. Sixties dancing is so cool. I like old movies from the Sixties and I like the dancing from those movies. It's so fun to watch."
She whispers her way through another album highlight, the grunge-y "Wonder Why."
"The song is kind of about escapism and where I go in my mind," she says. "I go back to the things in my childhood that remind me of a more innocent place and time, not that my childhood is so ideal. There's something about the era that signifies a more innocent time. I think about the TV shows and the music and the house where I lived. At Christmas time, my mom would put an electric candle in my room. It was so soothing. There is that grittiness. Today in these modern times, it's harsh. The music I love as a child, I was drawing on Electric Light Orchestra and all that stuff from the '70s and the radio pop and I put a bit of an edge on it."
Hatfield turns 50 this summer. In typical fashion, the introverted singer-songwriter hasn't planned anything too extravagant to mark the occasion.
"I saw that Liz Phair turned 50 yesterday or today," she says. "I feel some solidarity with her in a way even though we've never met. I feel connected to her in a way. I don't have any plans. I'm not really a celebrator. I don't party about things, but I might want to do something for myself. I might fly to some island. I don't know what I'll do when I get there. I think it's a date that I should mark somehow. I don't know what I'll do, but it will be something really private. I feel really good about it. I feel good about it physically. I feel like I did really well in certain ways to be where I am. In certain ways, I feel proud."
Juliana Hatfield, Joyframe, 8 p.m. Saturday, April 29, Mahall's 20 Lanes, 13200 Madison Ave, Lakewood, OH 44107, 216-521-3280. Tickets: $20 ADV, $25 DOS,

Vitra Design Museum
The designer, author, and design activist Victor J. Papanek (1923–1998) anticipated an understanding of design as a tool for political change and social good that is more relevant today than ever. His seminal book »Design for the Real World« (1971) became a manifesto of design activism and remains one of the most widely read books on design ever published. The Vitra Design Museum now presents the first Papanek retrospective worldwide. Alongside numerous objects, films, and graphics never before shown in an exhibition, »Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design« also features works by contemporaries like George Nelson, Richard Buckminster Fuller, Marshall McLuhan, and the radical design group Global Tools. It examines Papanek's preoccupation with the socially excluded, his commitment to the interests of areas then called the »Third World«, as well as his attention to ecology, bionics, sustainability, and anti-consumerism. Contemporary works from the fields of critical and social design complement the historical references, showing just how influential Papanek's legacy has become today.An exhibition by the Vitra Design Museum in collaboration with the Victor J. Papanek Foundation, University of Applied Arts Vienna

Our Temporary Creative Space ♡
I feel like I'm always searching for peace and quiet; for a place I can freely create. Normally, when I can't find a place, I just look to nature. Nature's always there for me. Yet lately, it's been cold. The sun has been in hiding, the grass is no where to be found. I can barely go outside without going completely numb. I love winter and all it's hidden charm, but my spiritual nature side kind of hates it.
No matter where I go, I feel like I can't escape people and their constant distracting nature. Your house or my house? Out to eat or eat in? Move here, move there? There's always going to be a distraction.
I've learned to accept that, however, Andrew created this awesome little temporary creative space for us when we are in need. He literally created it in 15 minutes with a bunch of random things lying around in his basement. He took his childlike fort-making skills and artistic ability to make this awesome place.
It excites me so much! I mean, look, it's so cute. For writing, making music, talking, planning, or just relaxing. This is our temporary creative space. It isn't forever, and it isn't a masterpiece - but it's beautiful and will do for now.

Emily Winter, 21, the editor in chief of The Daily Cardinal at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, raced to the scene as an intern for The Associated Press in London.
In an e-mail to the Journal Sentinel, Winter described interviewing a passenger from one of the bombed trains.
The man, covered in soot, said a red light flashed, and then the train dipped and stopped, Winter said.
"What was interesting to me is how calm everyone has remained," Winter said in the e-mail. "Several Wisconsin reporters have been interviewing me and seem to want me to describe the mass feel of panic, like on 9-11. But it wasn't like that at all."

Take Action Now – sign the petition below.
Dear Premier,
Every year from March to June, some otherwise protected duck species are declared 'game species' and are allowed to be shot during the Victorian duck shooting season. In addition to the slaughter of so-called 'game species', many other protected ducks and other bird species are also shot on our wetlands.
Up to one quarter of birds that are shot fly away wounded, and will go on to suffer long, painful deaths or survive with enduring injuries including from shotgun pellets embedded in their bodies.
The government should be protecting our native birds not facilitating their injury and death.
Duck shooting has been banned in WA, NSW, Queensland and was never permitted in the ACT.
I ask that the Victorian government take responsibility for animal welfare and end duck shooting, as the majority of Victorians want.

How can I volunteer with EOTTR?
For information on volunteering visit the Volunteer Page.
Where do the horses at EOTTR come from?
Our horses come from all over. Some were surrendered by owners , some came from abusive or neglectful pasts, and some simply weren't a good fit with their owner so they came to us to find the right match.
Will you take my horse?
Short answer: No. Long Answer: We are getting calls every day from people looking to surrender their horses. While we wish we could take them all we simply don't have the space or means to care for them all. EOTTR is currently home to over 50 horses from all sorts of back grounds. We are very selective of the horses we admit- we try to help those who need us the most. If there is any way you are able to keep your horse, and provide them with proper care, please do so. A rescue should be your second to last option. Try to re-home the horse on your own, we can even list them on our courtesy listings for you.
Most of the calls we get are people looking to surrender senior horses (25+) because they cannot work as hard as they used to. Unfortunately most of the calls we get for adoptions are for younger horses. The likelihood of us being able to re-home a senior horse is far less than a younger horse. So understand when you relinquish a senior they are very likely to live out their life in a rescue. The other thing we ask you to consider with surrendering an older horse, especially if you've had them most of their life, is that they are going to have a harder time adjusting to the rescue. Depending on the horse the transition alone could kill them. They will grieve and miss their home and you. Some will even refuse to eat. We never want a horse to suffer and for this reason we advise the owners of senior horses to euthanize them at home if all else fails. Do not send them to an auction, let them pass with dignity in a place they feel comfortable and know that they are loved.
If you do need a rescue to take your horse contact us at 323-5400 or email@example.com. Even if we can't take them we can suggest other places to look.
I think someone is abusing/neglecting a horse, what can I do?
Call the sheriff's dept. and let us know. We can offer the owner assistance if they need it.
I have pasture I would like to offer for your horses.
That's wonderful! Please call us or send us an email with some pictures of the pasture, fences, and shelter.
How can I temporarily foster a horse?
To temporarily foster a horse you will need to fill out the foster application, foster contract, and foster rules and regulations. Once you have these filled out give us a call at 323-5400 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com . All temporary foster homes must provide feed, water, and shelter. Vet and farrier costs will be covered by EOTTR.
How can I permanently foster a horse?
Permanently fostering a horse is very similar to adopting a a horse. Visit our Adoption Process to further understand this. The difference is that you will not have the brand inspection placed in your name or take ownership on the horse(s). You are still however solely responsible for their care.
How can I adopt a horse?
Visit our Adoption Process page, this will outline the steps of adopting a horse from EOTTR.
Permanent Foster VS Adoption.
In a permanent foster the horse will remain property of EOTTR and the foster home may receive a tax write off for some of the care of the horse. In an adoption the brand inspection will include the adopter's name and ownership of the horse will be transferred to the new home.
What horses do you have for adoption?
All of our adoptable horses are listed on the End of the Trail Rescue Inc website.
Can I adopt a horse that is a therapy horse/permanent resident?
Therapy Horses are not up for adoption. Many are leased to our program and others are donated specifically as therapy horses. Permanent Residents may be up to adoption to the right person. Many are Seniors and/or crippled. For some the stress of moving would be too much so ti is better that they live out their lives with us in a place they know.
How long is the adoption process?
The length of the process varies depending on the person and horse.
Why do I have to foster the horse before adopting?
The foster period is like a trial run. It gives you the chance to see how the horse fits into your life. If it doesn't work out the horse comes back no harm no foul.
Why do you require an application and contract for adopting a horse?
The application lets us get to know you and helps to envision how the horse might fit with you. The contract is a safety net for the horse. If the horse doesn't wok out they always have a place with us. The contract also prevents our horses from ending up in situations like those we saved them from.
Do you adopt out of state?
Not at this time as it is difficult to check in on horses that are out of the state.
Does EOTTR euthanize horses?
Yes. EOTTR euthanizes horses only when the horse is suffering. We will fight to help the horse as long as they will continue to fight but we will not allow any animal in our care to suffer when there is nothing we can do to help them. It all comes down to quality of life. We want our horses to pass with dignity and respect.
What is Hippotherapy?
Hippotherapy is a physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy treatment strategy that utilizes equine movement as part of an integrated intervention program to achieve functional outcomes.
What is Therapeutic Riding?
Therapeutic Riding is based on the believe that anyone, regardless of physical, mental, or emotion disability should be able to interact with horses. Similar to Hippotherapy, Therapeutic riding utilizes the movement of the horse to build strength, flexibility, and balance.
What is EAP?
Equine Assisted Therapy (EAP) is a professional field in which horses are used as a tool for emotional growth and learning.
What is EAL?
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is similar to EAP in its structure and goals. Our clients learn by participating in activities using the horse, then processing the feelings, behaviors, and patterns that result from that particular exercise.
What is EAGALA?
Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association.
How can I get myself/someone else into your program(s)?
Call our office at 323-5400 to schedule an appointment. Be sure to check the Services Page to see which programs are taking new clients.
Do you take insurance?
We can bill most insurances for Hippotherapy and EAP.
How much does a session cost?
Session costs are listed on the pages for each offered program.
How can I volunteer with Dream Catcher Therapy Center (DCTC)?
For information on volunteering visit the Volunteer Page.
How can I donate to DCTC?
DCTC is always looking for Scholarships for our clients as well as horse Sponsors!
Can I adopt a horse from your therapy program?
Therapy Horses are not up for adoption.
I would like to Donate a horse to your therapy program.
We only take donated horses into our Hippotherapy and Therapeutic Riding Programs, EAP and EAL are staffed with rescue horses. Because of this we are very selective on the horses we accept and very rarely take in new horses. They must be, at the very least, kid safe and sound. Not all horses will make a good therapy horse. If you have a horse you think would be a good addition to our program contact us at 323-5400 or email@example.com.
Don't see your question answered? Email us at email@example.com and we will add it.

From the Halloween Tarot, the Queen of Pentacles and Nine of Pumpkins.
A double of Pumpkins, or Pentacles, places us firmly in reality. The suit of Pumpkins is all things material, or that which you can touch. Pumpkins is your house, belongings, money and your body.
Here is a need to focus on the basics, your budget or your health. Take care to eat well and look after yourself. The Nine suggests money is not a worry, but reckless spending is never a good idea.
The Queen of Pumpkins is the Goddess of the hearth. She takes great pride in her home and her family. Her house is tidy, her husband fed and her children well dressed.
This Queen is very creative, but in a practical sense. She indulges her creativity with cooking hearty meals, cake decorating, sewing, knitting or making beautiful things for her home.
She takes good care of herself as well, her hair is always shining, her clothes fashionable and her nails are done. She enjoys her luxuries and isn't afraid to spoil herself, as she is comfortably well off.
The Nine of Pumpkins is very alike the Queen. She is abundance, luxury, leisure and self-sufficiency. She is well off and has all that she needs. She revels in all that she has, her home is her castle. She has a deep affinity with nature and loves to be surrounded by it's riches.
I have pretty much described myself here, both these cards resonate with me strongly. I identify with the Queen of Pentacles and the Nine describes my situation quite well.
These cards describe someone well off, creative and happy in their own skin. There is not much that worries her, she has all that she wants in life, and is very self-sufficient. She is happy to be alone. She has friends but leads a fairly solitary life, surrounding herself only with her immediate family.
She has a strong affinity with nature and natural cycles and is most likely Pagan.
Very hands on, she spends her spare time immersed in creating beautiful things.
She is practical and loyal, and will stick by her friends and family through thick and thin.

This is all three of us.
This is mean and Shane.
This is me and David when I was 1 and he was about 2.
Seriously I just simply do not see it. I just don't understand how she can randomly after four years decide this and the sad thing is I will probably never know the truth unless I win the lottery and can afford and DNA test for it. Then again hell I shouldn't complain because at least if Shane's dad was our dad he is a better guy then who she originally said was our dad and our grandparents would be amazing.

Artificial grass lawns are becoming the preferred lawn option.
Busy lifestyles, long work days and family commitments mean maintaining a real lawn is just one of those things you may not have time for.
Artificial grass requires little maintenance, feels almost as natural as a real lawn, and is child and pet-friendly. Free from heavy metals and hazardous chemicals and highly durable and washable, an artificial lawn stays perfect and green in all seasons with no watering or mowing.
At Australian Outdoor Living, we believe that time is best spent enjoying a lawn – not maintaining it. Choose from our wide selection of premium artificial lawns, and start enjoying an outdoor lifestyle with minimal maintenance required.
Lush & Green All Year
With absolutely no watering necessary, our grass is 100% drought proof. That means considerably less water usage and best of all, grass that looks great no matter what the season.
Child & Pet-Friendly
Without prickles or allergens, have peace of mind knowing our artificial grass provides a comfortable environment for children and pets – soft enough to lie on, tough enough to play on.
No Harsh Chemicals
Our artificial grass is lead-free and contains no hazardous chemicals – unlike natural grass that requires both strong fertilisers and harsh weed killing chemicals.
Up to 7 Years
Our range of artificial grass is UV and fade resistant as well as being backed with great guarantees, meaning you can expect your lawn to look fantastic for years to come.
Fairway Range
Built to last, the Fairway range is very realistic, has a short pile height and is specifically suited for playgrounds and areas with very high traffic.
Augusta Range
With a taller pile height, Australian Outdoor Living's Augusta range is an impressively realistic looking artificial grass with brown curly thatching.
Savannah Broad Leaf Range
For those after a wider blade grass, our premium Savannah Broad Leaf range is for you. Similar in appearance to many Australian grasses, with its olive/brown curly thatching, the Savannah boasts the highest pile height and density within our range.

Marine interior specialist Trimline's dedication to quality craftsmanship has resulted in it transforming a trio of vessels for P&O Cruises Australia.
Earlier this year, Trimline delivered a stunning finish during the £multi-million transformation of Pacific Dawn and Pacific Explorer – and was subsequently awarded the £multimillion refurbishment of Pacific Eden which they have just completed in Singapore.
Over 100 experienced trade people took just 12 days to complete a comprehensive scope of works onboard Pacific Eden, including:
Show Lounge (spanning two decks)
Kids Zone
Dome Bar
Conference Rooms
Photo Gallery
Crew Bathrooms
Nicolas Lagesse, Hotel Assets Director – Technical Services for Carnival Australia said "Trimline's determined contribution on our three ship refurbishments this year under tight timelines and challenging design parameters with some lessons learnt along the way for the future, has resulted in a fantastic end result!"
Simon Dawkins, Key Account Manager for Trimline commented "We are very proud of the stunning finish we have delivered during the transformations of Pacific Dawn, Pacific Explorer and most recently Pacific Eden. All three refurbished ships now celebrate modern Australia and feature the new look and feel which has been so popular on P&O's latest ships."
