BURLINGTON -- A porch is where we welcome friends, greet strangers, gab with our neighbors, sip a cool drink on a hot day, and store oddments of domestic life. It is a place of transition between our inner and outer lives.
"Technically, we can think of a porch as a covering over an entryway," explained Thomas Visser, a professor of history at the University of Vermont. But a porch is much more than that.
As Visser details in his book, "Porches of North America" (University Press of New England, 2012), a porch is a place where social and domestic activities meet and merge, a place that communicates our social standing and offers security, and a place where we seek health and comfort. The features and uses of porches have changed over the centuries in ways that reflect broad cultural shifts. Those changing cultural patterns can be seen in the kinds of porches present in nearly any town.
There are galleries and stoops, verandas and sleeping porches, porticos and porte-cocheres, gable loggias and enclosed porches. Though most modern porch architecture in North America has roots in Europe, porches were built by native cultures throughout North America as early as 2,000 years ago. These structures served as shade in the desert regions, protection from cold in the Arctic, walkways in Mayan Mexico, and storage in Ontario.
Following European colonization of the New World, various versions of porches were brought over from Europe and adapted to local needs and customs. The gallery, a long porch recessed under the eaves of a curved roof, is found on houses built in the 1700s in areas settled by the French, including Vermont and Quebec. These porches were places to do domestic work, store goods, and chat with neighbors.
Around the same time, the Dutch brought to North America the idea of the stoop (or stoep, meaning "step"), featuring benches on either side of the door, which became a place to sit and socialize with neighbors.

Porches became more and more popular in North America as places that allowed people to relax the strict social customs of the Victorian era. Porches on stores were places where residents of all classes could mingle and share news; porches on houses were where young ladies could glimpse and even chat with potential suitors without the formalities of indoor life.
During the late 1800s, many homes had porches that were not attached to an entryway. According to Visser, these verandas were specifically for enjoying the outdoors while being protected from the weather. In the same vein, hotels and hospitals installed long porches, called piazzas, where guests could walk. Thus, porches began to be seen as promoting health as well as social activities.
At the turn of the last century, the tuberculosis epidemic spawned a fad of building screened sleeping porches, where residents of sanitariums could inhale the healthful night air. Saranac Lake, N.Y., hosts a glut of sleeping porches because it was a popular destination for those suffering from tuberculosis.

Waco, Texas (PRWEB) February 25, 2014
The statistics behind successful new years resolutions can be discouraging and downright depressing. According to the Journal of Clinical Psychology, only eight percent of Americans who resolve to make a change stick with the resolution throughout the full year.
There are several reasons for the dismal success rate, three of which are most prevalent: the resolutions lack structure, the resolutions were made at midnight on January first, or the resolution goals are based in fantasy, not reality, thus are unattainable.
At Mr. Appliance, February marks a great time to re-evaluate the resolutions set and either repair those which are lacking or jump-start the ones that were left to wither and die away. These five easy, actionable tips will help even the most lifeless resolution, discarded by its owner, perk with new life and ambition. Apply these repairs to any resolution and beat the odds.
1.Create resolutions that rely on attainable, intermittent goals. Place time-markers so that each resolution has mini-goals to reach throughout the year. Example: Lose weight is a resolution. Lose one pound each week is an attainable, intermittent goal that can be measured and help keep motivation high.
2.Choose resolutions that are based on realistic expectations. If lofty goals are set, it can be intimidating and easier to give up. Example Being cast as a Broadway dancer may be the resolution. However, this could be considered unrealistic for someone who only has Jazzercize as dance experience. Not impossible, but somewhat unrealistic. Instead, concentrate on the small steps that will help to meet the larger goal.
3.Drop the negative self-talk. Everyone fails, it is a part of the journey. The difference between those who reach their goals and those who dont is the successful turn failures into lessons and motivation. When knocked down, dust off, stand up and keep moving forward.
4.Resolutions made on the spot are often not well thought out. Every resolution has to have a sturdy plan to support it. Otherwise, failure is inevitable.
5.For resolutions that are dead on the vine, try coming up with a smaller, more attainable goal to serve as a stepping stone to reach the larger resolution objective. For example instead of planning to go from couch potato to working out five days a week, make a commitment to working out one day a week for two weeks. Then, add in an additional day, as it becomes a permanent part of your routine.
Making changes in life is a daunting task otherwise, everyone would be thin, healthy, smoke-free, stress-free, and perfect in every way. Take these tips and start making changes through small, manageable steps to repair and maintain 2014 resolutions.
