The Enduring, Alluring Gazebo
by Kathy Moran
From their origins as rooftop structures, used mainly for observation, to their present status, gazebos have taken many forms. Throughout their colorful history, they have been known as summerhouses, screen houses, kiosks, pavilions, pergolas, arbors, grottos, and pagodas.
From their origins as rooftop structures, used mainly for observation, to their present status, gazebos have taken many forms. Throughout their colorful history, they have been known as summerhouses, screen houses, kiosks, pavilions, pergolas, arbors, grottos, and pagodas.
The word 'gazebo' first appeared in the 1752 book, New Designs for Chinese Temples,' by architect William Halfpenny. Though no one is certain, etymologists speculate that Halfpenny invented the word by playfully adding the Latin ending �ebo, as in videbo ('I shall see') to the word 'gaze' to get the meaning 'I will look.'
Prized by members of Egyptian royalty, gazebos were essential parts of their gardens, and have been found, depicted in murals, in tombs dating to 1400 b.c. They were also popular with the aristocracy of ancient Rome and Pompeii, and were built as summerhouses along the Mediterranean.
Today, gazebos have grown so popular in this country, that they are almost as common as garages. Although some are still used as quiet places to enjoy the beauty of a garden, others have been elevated to loftier positions, as summerhouses, or lavish entertainment centers, with doors, windows, screens, decks, electricity, and plumbing. Many have special lighting, hot tubs, fire pits, and brick barbecues. Arbors, ornamental fountains, bird feeders, birdbaths, wishing wells, koi ponds, and bridges, are also popular landscaping accessories for gazebos.
From wood to synthetics, there are several types of material from which gazebos may be constructed. Radiant, durable Western Red Cedar, for example, has natural oils that protect it from decay, while its dimensional stability helps to keep it from warping. Cedar may be sealed and stained to maintain its reddish hue, or allowed to weather to a rich gray.
Pressure-treated pine also makes a sturdy, long-lasting gazebo because it is highly resistant to decay and insect damage. A kiln-drying process, before and after pressure treatment, minimizes warping, checking, and twisting. As with all wood gazebos, a stain/sealer should be applied to the entire structure, including the floor and the roof, once a year, to protect it from the elements.
Vinyl gazebos are made with treated pine that has been covered with an attractive vinyl coating, which results in an exceptionally durable, maintenance-free finish.
When choosing a material, don't forget to factor in your region's weather. If your area is subject to heavy rain or snow, high winds, or severe storms, you may want to consider one of the new Category 4 Hurricane Gazebos from GazeboCreations.com. With heavy-duty metal, high wind load brackets and hangers, and reinforced posts, braces, floor joists, rafters, and other components, these gazebos can withstand 150 mph sustained winds.

The Many Types of Watches
Watches have evolved over the centuries and become almost a necessity. There are many types of watches all with different functions. If you are looking for a watch there are a few things to keep in mind. Your budget is important here. The amount you can spend on a watch will dictate what type of watch and what features or functions you will be able to have. Watches can range in price from $2.00 or $3.00 all the way up to thousands of dollars and more.
An analog watch is a watch that has hands. There may be a second hand or not. The second hand moves in continuous sweeping motion. Some second hands will move in two second intervals to indicate the batteries need to be replaced. Digital watches have the time displayed in numerals. Digital watches are very popular.
An LCD watch uses liquid crystal display to show the time. The numbers are usually gray or black on a lighter background. An LED watch uses a diode that emanates light. There is usually a button to push to display the time. The numbers in the display are red in color.
A quartz watch is very popular in the market place today as well and it runs on batteries. A tiny quartz crystal in the watch vibrates at a very stable frequency. This keeps the time instead of the traditional mechanical movement.
Other watches include a mechanical watch. It operates with the movement of a set of gears. A spring inside the watch is wound to power the gears. A jewel watch uses gems such as rubies at points of friction inside the movement.
A diving watch is water resistant through a depth of between fifty to one hundred meters and it is marked on the dial. Instead of the usual push/pull crown, a diving watch has a screw down crown. This creates a better water tight seal. The band is made of rubber or similar material because the salt water won't cause deterioration.
Functions on watches include calendars, time zones, stop watches, and alarms. Many have the option of being set to standard or military time. Still others have indigo lights that when a button is pressed will light up and make the numbers more visible. This is especially good in a hospital or nursing home setting where you need the light to read the second hand while checking pulses. There are some watches that have removable face plates so that you can have your watch match what you are wearing. The shape of a watch can be almost any shape as well such a round or rectangular. There are ring watches and pendant watches. Pocket watches are making a come back as well.
The bands on watches are as varied in material and design as the watches themselves. There are metal bands that stretch, there are bands made of material similar to the straps on backpacks and that fasten with Velcro. There are bands of cloth, hemp, metal links and bands that come in one or two pieces.

And these discounts are applied to almost every type, size, and style of swim wear.

Designer Rip Jeans or Design your Rip Jeans, what's your style?
couldn't help but eavesdrop on a conversation at a department store, hearing a bewildered mother discuss with her teenage daughter why she refused to spend a certain amount of money on a pair of "worn-out, worthless pair of jeans."
The mother picked up a comparable pair of jeans, about $20 cheaper, and according to her jeans, were without the "wear and tear" that her daughter's rip jeans had featured.
"It just doesn't make sense to me that a pair of worn-out jeans are much more than a pair of rip-free jeans," retorted the mother.
With a crash course lesson on the current trends, the teenage daughter explained to her mother that the ripped, worn-out look was in, and that whether or not ripped jeans lasted long or not was certainly not the issue."
Still not sold by her daughter's argument, the mother refused to pay for her daughter's ripped jeans, unless her daughter contributed some money for the cost.
Trying to compromise with the latest fashions and the most practical alternative can be a hard task, but with several options to consider, you can get a pair of rip jeans at a reasonable price. With a few creative suggestions, you'll realize that you won't always have to depend on the department stores and malls to deliver to you the latest fashions trends.
Visit a second hand Store -As a famous saying goes, "One man's junk is another man's treasure," and you'll find just that when you visit a second-hand store. Vintage apparel is always a good target to be revitalized, and at these stores, you'll find plenty of used clothing at inexpensive prices. Authentic rip jeans from past eras are destined to be discovered in this wide selection of second-hand clothing.
Create your own Rip jeans -The beauty of these jeans is that it doesn't require much skill to rip a pair of jeans. Buy a pair of regular jeans, or design your old ones, and rip as you please. Designed rip jeans may relieve you to have to do the dirty work, but how much fun would it be to add a personal touch to your clothes! Recycle your old jeans and reinvent them into your new personally-designed ripped jeans.
Bargain and Negotiate -When it comes to consumer goods, the internet has become a competitive force against traditional stores and services. Online stores and auctions enable consumers the opportunity to potentially bid less than the suggested price at traditional stores. From clothing to electronics, online technology enables consumers another alternative to buy goods at the best price.
While fashions will change as fast as the seasons do, you can always depend on these timeless options to resort to when making your next purchase, especially if they entail a pair or ripped jeans

Birthstones, history and symbolism
From the first time people discovered gemstones, they were amazed by their beauty and grace. They understood right from the start that they were unlike any other rocks they could see every day. So they started looking for an explanation and a reason why these precious stones were present on Earth.
This has puzzled many people throughout history and yielded to numerous conclusions that were themselves mysterious and romantic. Some said that they were a gift from gods. Others believed they were actually stolen from them. Ancient priest used gems to worship the divinity.
Besides the religious importance, some theories suggested that gems have curative capabilities or even help increase sexuality.
Birthstones were first introduced in the cultures of antiquity as a form of standardization to make it easier for the elite of that time to understand the importance and the role of each stone. They attributed to each of the twelve months of the year a certain precious stone. Thus the wealthy ones could now purchase gems that now had an even more important meaning for them, as they were correspondent to the month they were born in.
Gemstones are almost as old as Earth. Some date back 3.5 or 4 billion years. They are older than the first man or the dinosaurs. This fact has also added to the fascination that people had for them.
Nowadays, birthstone jewels as popular as ever. People love to have something that old them that we've been on this planet only for a short period.
