VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, September 28, 2012 (Press-News.org) It's the furniture revolution we've all been waiting for. Launched in September, Retrojan is an online retro furniture store (retojan.com.au) offering beautiful modern pieces inspired by styles of the past.
Retrojan has created an array of unique statement pieces for the home, office and outdoors, from bright statement couches and chairs, to desks, bookshelves and tables. And the best part? Nothing is priced over $1,000.
Current furniture ranges include the "Woodstock" and "Danish Royals". Each piece reflects a classic style of a past era and brings its own unique personality, named after icons of years gone by.
There's the Richie Occasional chair, a handsome iron-and-leather gent, a perfect companion to your lounge suite in the living room. Or the Gwyneth Credenza sideboard, a statement piece, and is perfect for lighting up a living room or utilising dead hallway space.
It all started when David Janovic moved out of his family home and began looking to decorate his new apartment. He soon realised the furniture he'd been dreaming of was either out of his price range or difficult to find.
And so, Retrojan was born. Janovic decided he, and every other house proud, design-conscious home decorator on a budget should be able to buy stylish, funky furniture to add character to the home, without requiring a small personal loan to do it.
Retrojan furniture requires only minor assembly, and comes with easy to understand assembly instructions. It's the perfect solution for a bare room looking for a burst of life, be it a cosy lounge chair to brighten the bedroom; a bright sofa to add a splash of colour to the living room; or a timeless big desk to bring inspiration to the study.
Retrojan promises an easy and enjoyable online shopping experience, with goods delivered to the door within 3-5 days in metro areas. All items come with a 12-month warranty as well as a seven-day "No questions asked" returns policy.
Visit the website www.retrojan.com.au and check out their products.
At Retrojan, we love retro furniture. It's pretty simple really. We're not purists though. We love to take inspiration from legendary styles of the past, and produce our own modern take.

Boating and Drinking--In Virginia, It is the Same as Drinking and Driving
2012-09-28
During this summer, the Virginia State Police (VSP) and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) Conservation Police worked on a public awareness campaign to remind boaters that if they are intoxicated and boating, they can be caught and charged with Boating under the Influence (BUI), with the same penalties as driving under the influence (DUI).
The campaign notes that 57 percent of fatal boating accidents in 2011 resulted from intoxicated boaters. The video produced by the state police and the conservation police makes their case explicit, when a ...
Are Property Owners Responsible for New York City Sidewalk Injuries?
2012-09-28
This August, concrete rained down onto the sidewalks around Grand Central Terminal in New York City, miraculously harming no one. However, this incident highlights the dangers of the city's sidewalks that New York personal injury lawyers regularly hear about from their injured clients. Fortunately, there is legal recourse for someone injured while walking the streets of New York.
Raining Concrete at Grand Central Terminal
Last month, a tractor-trailer truck struck the side of New York's Grand Central Terminal, causing large chunks of concrete and part of a railing ...
Commercial Truck Driving While Drunk Can Spell Disaster for Others on the Road
2012-09-28
When semi trucks are involved in crashes, people can die. Most of the people that die are in smaller passenger vehicles traveling alongside the 18-wheelers. If semi truck drivers are intoxicated behind the wheel, the potential for harm is even greater. Data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that three percent of more than 10,000 fatal alcohol-related crashes in 2010 (the most recent year such data was available) were caused by commercial vehicle drivers.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) implemented special, ...

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, announced at the end of August that it will implement several provisions of its ambitious strategic plan, Moving Ahead for Progress in 21st Century, or MAP-21. The FMCSA's goal is to develop 29 new rules in the next 27 months. These rules will likely improve safety for all road users over the next few years.

In an aggressive move, by this October, the FMCSA will change its rules on how it reprimands motor carriers that are found to be immediately dangerous to other ...
How to Enforce Texting Laws?
2012-09-28
Texting and driving is dangerous. Everyone from U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood to the local police department is shouting from the rooftops the dangers posed by texting and driving.
Nevertheless, texting is just the most recent of the laundry list of items that can distract a driver and cause a car crash. Changing radio stations, brushing one's hair, eating a hamburger from a drive-through, glancing at papers on the passenger's seat, programming your GPS, the list goes on and on.
And in Georgia, all of them are illegal if they cause driver distraction, ...
The U.S. is Behind on Reviewing Suspended Deportation Cases
2012-09-28
In August 2011, the Obama Administration announced it would review the cases of around 300,000 undocumented immigrants scheduled for deportation.
In an attempt to utilize its resources more efficiently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is focusing on deporting undocumented individuals with criminal records who are national security risks.
In fiscal 2011, the United States deported nearly 400,000 undocumented individuals but only about 55 percent had criminal records.
Though expectations were high, immigration prosecutors had only reviewed about nine percent ...
Special Considerations When Older Couples Divorce
2012-09-28
"Baby boomer divorce." "Gray divorce." "Senior-citizen divorce." "Elder divorce." Regardless of what you call it, there is an unmistakable fact about the so-called "greatest generation": older Americans are getting a lot of divorces. According to Bowling Green State University's National Center for Family & Marriage Research, the divorce rate of those 50 and older have more than doubled since 1990.
Many of those same people get remarried, something which in itself, ironically, can foreshadow more divorce. The divorce ...

Bacterial meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes covering the spinal cord and the brain (the meninges) caused by the presence of bacteria. The bacteria originate in some other part of the body, are spread by the bloodstream to the fluid around the spinal ...
"Give Me 3" Bill Passes the State Assembly
2012-09-28
Riding bicycles is a large part of the appeal and culture of Southern California. While thousands of riders make use of trails and special bike paths in parks, many riders take to bike lanes on city streets. With such widespread interest, motorists must be mindful of how vulnerable bicyclists are while riding in traffic. This is especially important as cars pass bicyclists and cross into bike lanes while making turns. In fact, many bicyclist fatalities in California are caused when drivers fail to yield to riders or give them proper space to maneuver.
The State Assembly ...
Car Accidents: What to Do and Not to Do
2012-09-28
Car accidents are scary. They can put your life in chaos, result in a mountain of medical bills, take lives and cause vast amounts of stress. When an accident happens, it is important to take steps to both ensure your physical recovery and protect your legal rights.
What to Do in Case of an Accident
Immediately after an accident, take a moment to check for injuries. If you or a loved one has been hurt, emergency authorities should be notified immediately so that treatment can begin. Once that has been done, though, it is important to assess the property damage and ...
