When you think of patio furniture covers what type do you think of? Patio chairs, right? It seems that everyone thinks about covering their patio chairs. But, very few people give any consideration to their patio tables. There is no logic in this if you consider that in matched sets the patio tables and chairs are made out of the same materials. If you are going to protect one, shouldn't you protect the other?

If you live outside, at your patio tables, you may not have to worry about this as much. If you spend breakfasts, or evenings, outside, you may well dust off the patio tables and chairs every day. Constant use of patio tables and general maintenance on a daily basis will probably keep your patio tables pretty happy over the long run.

Patio Pizazz

But, most people don't spend that much time outside. Instead they use their patio tables and chairs maybe every few weeks or so, for an outside meal. All that time in between, those patio tables and chairs are left to fend for themselves. While patio tables are made for the outside, they are still pieces of furniture that need care and maintenance or they will not hold up as long as you had hoped.

You need to invest in covers for both your patio tables and chairs. These covers are relatively easy to put on. Most just slip over the top of the patio tables and chairs and can be zipped or snapped shut. Taking a few simple steps to put covers on your patio tables and chairs can keep out moisture, dirt and debris that could make a mess of these beautiful pieces of furniture.

Another important reason to cover both patio tables and chairs is to keep colors consistent. If you were only to cover your patio tables or your chairs, the other items in the set would be left out in the sun and elements day after day. With a lot of sun, the colors will lighten on those pieces that are left uncovered. Dirt and debris will also stain those pieces. Eventually it will look like you have pieces from two different patio sets.

When it's time to choose the covers for your patio tables and chairs, make sure you choose covers that are going to be able to handle Mother Nature. Most covers for patio tables should be made out of a very heavy vinyl or other materials that will be able to stand up to the temperatures and shifts in weather.

One important final consideration, especially if you are in a more tropical climate, is to make sure you have chosen covers for your patio tables that are resistant to mold and mildew. You don't want to lift those covers to find a moldy mess. To this end, you should also not leave the covers on all the time. Periodically remove them for a day to let your patio tables and chairs air out, and fight off any such mold that may be thinking of growing.

There is one spot that is often overlooked when searching for more living space - the outdoors. Backyards aren't just a place for swing sets and barbeques anymore. Today, more people are treating their backyards like another room. Whether you want an inviting, entertainment area, a private retreat or simply a spot for basking in the sun or stargazing, your patio can easily be transformed to perfectly suit your needs and desires.

A porch or patio, surrounded by nature is the perfect setting for sharing with family and friends - or to simply relax quietly. Just like the interior of your home, your exterior decorating and arrangement will be as individual as you are, where you can showcase your own style and preferences. Here are a few simple, ideas that will give your outdoor space a feeling of welcome and beauty all its own.

Patio Pizazz

Inspiration

Choose a theme that reminds you of a favorite setting or vacation destination to create a sense of flow and unity - an island setting, a mountain chalet, an Italian village, botanical gardens - whatever appeals to your senses.

Color

• A variety of colorful plants in the ground, pots, railing and window boxes, hanging baskets or a variety of interesting containers such as wagons, wooden or metal boxes, and old boots. Your only limit is your imagination!

• A painted fence, trellis, gate or shutters will give emphasis to bright flowers when placed behind or near the flower bed.

• Coordinating chair cushions, tablecloths and umbrellas.

• Paint a back or side wall. This will accent your backyard landscape and give you a color break and interest as you look out the windows - it can even camouflage an unsightly view. The color of your plants, garden accessories and yard art will pop against your newly painted wall.

• Are you tired of looking at that old garage or woodpile from the back porch? Put up a wood fence to block the view, paint it a bright color and plant your favorite perennials in front. This can be fun and functional at the same time.

Accessories

Personalize your outdoor living space with either handcrafted or store bought items made from fabric, wood or metal:

• Statuary.

• Yard art such as stakes, sculptures, weather vanes, colorful windsocks and flags. For original accents, search for garage and basement "finds" such as old buckets, stepladders, watering cans and furniture. Paint them or let them weather in the elements. Clay pots, decorated or left natural, add a homey touch.

• Trellises and garden arbors.

• Stepping stones to connect separate areas in the yard or as walkways around the outside of the house.

• Birdhouses and bird feeders. Welcome wild birds by adding hand-painted birdhouses and decorative feeders.

• Table settings and candles to match the color scheme and theme.

Lighting

For added drama in the evenings, use:

• String lights to accent an arbor, railing, umbrella or trees.

• Add a floodlight to highlight trees or garden statuary.

• Line a walking path with luminaries or distribute them throughout a flower bed.

• Minnow buckets with pillar candles make unique and fun luminaries.

• Solar lighting for railings, gardens, window boxes and pathways.

Sound

Supplement the sounds of nature by:

• Adding a tiered table or free-standing fountain.

• Hanging wind chimes from the patio ceiling or in nearby trees.

Comfort

• Hammocks

• Benches, chaise lounges, chairs and ottomans

• Swings and gliders

• Gazebo

An added benefit of spicing up your patio design with color, interest and comfort in mind: you bring the outdoors in, by creating an enjoyable view - not to mention a visual extension of the space! And, a burst of color, a birdhouse collection, statuary, the sound of wind chimes and water will brighten your day. When it comes to decorating your outdoor spaces, the possibilities are endless. You can create the feeling of an exotic getaway, a calm and quiet place or a lively, gathering spot right in your own backyard.

Have fun and be creative when decorating your outdoor "room." ENJOY!

Palm Springs, California boasts one of the most unique and historic architectural styles. Palm Springs, California is noted for having the highest concentration of mid-century modern architecture in the United States. In fact, the National Trust for Historic Preservation recently recognized Palm Springs, California for its dedication to preserving mid-century modern architecture.

However, there is a bit of an architectural battle going on in Palm Springs, California. There has been recent pressure in Palm Springs, California to tear down historic architecture in order for new business enterprises to build on the land they once occupied. This is a continuing debate between developers and preservationist regarding the possible destruction of the Town and Country Center, one of Palm Springs, California's most notable landmarks. Noted architects A. Quincy Jones and Paul R. Williams designed the Town and Country Center.

Palm Springs Outdoor

Palm Springs, California drew many famous architects in the post-war period, including John Lautner, Richard Neutra, Rudolf Schindler, William Cody, Albert Frey, Donald Wexler and E. Stewart Williams. These architects, who were anchored in the Bauhaus art movement, made Palms Springs, California their architectural playground. They used modern materials, techniques, and floor plans and adapted them to the unique requirements of Palm Springs, California.

They were inspired by the starkness and the beauty of the desert, and developed a new style. Palm Springs, California gave birth to Desert Modernism. The style was noted for its use of glass, clean lines, and a combination of natural and manmade materials. It also included using indoor/outdoor spaces so those who used the building could take advantage of the unique climate in Palm Springs, California.

Some of the most famous Desert Modernism buildings in Palm Springs, California are the Tramway Gas Station, the Palm Springs airport, Coachella Savings and Loan, the Kaufmann House and the House of Tomorrow. Because of these buildings and more Palms Springs, California continues to be a point of interest for fans of mid-century architecture.

When studying street fighting and self defense, we should be open to accept knowledge from any source.

Many martial arts traditions, even though they originated centuries ago, offer practical and effective fighting techniques that are completely applicable on today's streets.

N/A

Take for example Chin Na (or Quinna), the ancient Chinese art of trapping and locking joints.

According to history, Chin Na techniques were first introduced by Chin Gempin in the 1600's.

Without question, common weaponry has changed drastically since those days. The variables of street fighting are not the same as they were back then. But the joints and tendons of the human body remain exactly the same.

Much of Chin Na is just as useful today as it ever was. Chin Na techniques are used by law enforcement, military, and security personnel all over the world, whether they are aware of their origins or not.

The techniques of Chin Na are generally divided into 4 categories:

1.FEN JIN: techniques which tear apart an opponent's muscles or tendons.

2.CUO GU: techniques that misplace the bone (generally applied to the joint)

3.BI QI: techniques that prevent the opponent from inhaling. Applied not only to the windpipe directly, but also to muscles surrounding the lungs.

4.DIAN MAI: techniques which seal or strike blood vessels and "Qi" points.

The beauty of Chin Na techniques is that their execution is based on knowledge of human anatomy, and can be learned and applied by anyone.

By taking advantage common vulnerabilities in the human body we can quickly subdue opponents, even if they outmatch us in size and strength.

Chin Na is anything but outdated. We can benefit tremendously by learning a little about the art and how to apply it in self defense or street fighting situations.
