What do you give the woman in your life?
Unless she specifically requests for one, a vacuum cleaner or a new set of pot and pans, no matter how much they cost, might well disappoint her. Practical though they may be, household gifts lack that special touch. You know the look on her face when she opens a gift she really loves. One that gives her that unexpected thrill?
You are more likely to get a genuinely thrilled response from her if you give her jewelry than if you were to give her a new apron or a new cupboard.
What if she already has everything?
All women love shiny things. Precious jewelry that catches her eye would certainly get her vote. It could be an absolutely gorgeous necklace that sets off her favourite dress beautifully. Or it could be a pair of stunning shoulder duster earrings that highlight her slender neck. Or it could be a cuff bracelet that makes a simple sheath dress look amazing.
When it comes to a birthday gift, nothing beats birthstone jewelry for her.
Birthstone jewelry is any kind of jewelry that is set with the gemstone of her birth month.
Who invented birthstone jewelry in the first place?
There are lots of theories as to the origins of birthstones.
One common belief is that these 12 birthstones originated from the breastplate worn by the high priest of the Jews. Each gemstone representing one tribe of Israel and later, representing one month of the year.
Astrologers associated the gemstones with each zodiac sign.
The Tibetans, in ancient Tibet, had their own birthstone list. That list of mystical birthstones is more than a thousand years old.
Even the Indians have their Ayurverdic birth gemstone list, based on that branch of medicine originating from India.
Eventually, in 1912, a modern birthstone gemstone list was compiled by the National Association of Jewelers in Kansas with a specific gemstone associated with each month of the year. This is the list accepted in U.S.
The great thing about birthstones is that they make great personalized gifts for women. After all, that gemstone is chosen based on her birth month. When you want to get a woman jewelry and aren't too sure which gemstone to get, you could use any of these lists as a guide.
Yes, diamonds are a girls best friend and no woman would protest if you give her diamonds. But if you want to get her something more affordable, you could go for one of the more affordable gemstones for her month.
This birthstone list [http://www.alljewelry.info/birthstone-list.php] combines the various birthstone lists to let you choose from several gemstones for most months of the year. Use that to help you choose your birthday gift for her.

Why does the media kept silent on the fact that Dalai Lama was paid by CIA for over two decades?
THE Dalai Lama show is set to roll into Australia again next month and again Australian politicians are getting themselves in a twist as to whether they should meet him.
Rarely do journalists challenge the Dalai Lama.
Partly it is because he is so charming and engaging. Most published accounts of him breeze on as airily as the subject, for whom a good giggle and a quaint parable are substitutes for hard answers. But this is the man who advocates greater autonomy for millions of people who are currently Chinese citizens, presumably with him as head of their government.
No mere spiritual leader, he was the head of Tibet's government when he went into exile in 1959. It was a state apparatus run by aristocratic, nepotistic monks that collected taxes, jailed and tortured dissenters and engaged in all the usual political intrigues.

"It was a state apparatus run by aristocratic, nepotistic monks that collected taxes, jailed and tortured dissenters and engaged in all the usual political intrigues"
Replace the word "monks" with "communist Chinese" and you've got what is happening in Tibet today.
It looks like the communist Chinese have discovered Yahoo answers and are sending their agents to spread propaganda here as well.
Unease in Tibet Over Influx of China's Money and Migrants
LHASA, Tibet -- They come by new high-altitude trains, four a day, cruising 1,200 miles past snow-capped mountains. And they come by military truck convoy, lumbering across the roof of the world.
