			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Lucky Bamboo Plant</h1>
<p>Lucky bamboo plant is a member of the plant Dracaena family and is well known for its durability and resemblance to the bamboo plant.  Although it is far from it, it&#8217;s native to Asia and Africa.  Dracaena does not mind standing in water, bamboo will not tolerate being in water.   Draceana is the Greek word for dragon some of the larger plants may resemble dragons with their large pointy leaves.</p>

</script>Why is this plant considered lucky?<br />
This plant has been associated with the Eastern practice of Feng Shui for a long time now.  The lucky bamboo is believed to be an ideal example of the thriving water and wood element. Sometimes a red ribbon is also added as it is believed to fire the positive flow of energy or chi into the room.</p>
<p><strong>The</strong> <strong>numbers of stalks have meanings</strong><br />
According to ancient Chinese tradition the number of lucky bamboo stalks have different meanings and invite different factors such as <em>happiness</em>, <em>wealth</em> and <em>longevity</em> apart from other factors that are beneficial to your life.</p>
<ul>
<li>2 lucky bamboo stalks signify luck</li>
<li>3 or 6 lucky bamboo stalks symbolize happiness.</li>
<li>5 or 7 luck bamboo stalks symbolize health.</li>
<li>8 stalks of lucky bamboo signify wealth.</li>
<li>9 stalks of lucky bamboo signify general good fortune.</li>
<li>21 lucky bamboo stalks symbolize blessings.</li>
</ul>
<p>Four stalks are considered unlucky and should never used in Feng Shui decorating.</p>
<p><strong>Caring For lucky bamboo plant.</strong><br />
Here are some steps that will ensure that your lucky bamboo plant is always growing.<br />
Water is one of the things that the lucky bamboo plant requires to grow well; unfortunately this same water that is so vital for its growth is filled with chemicals like fluoride and chlorine that is present in most tap water. To ensure that the water you use is absent from chemicals, run tap water into a container and allow it to sit out uncovered for about 24 hours to allow the chemicals to disperse.  It is advisable to pour all the water and refill the container with fresh water every week and keep an eye on the water level too. You are blessed if you have an aquarium at home because you can save some of the dirty aquarium water to put the lucky bamboo into. This is because the lucky bamboo plant thrives on the microscopic thing that is found in the water.</p>
<p>As this plant grows in the dense shade under the thick rainforest&#8217;s canopy of the equatorial Africa, indirect sunlight is how is grows best.  Actually you can even place the lucky bamboo in a room that receives no natural light, all you have to do in this case is move it to a brighter location every three or four days every week.  Of course if you want it to grow faster, you would be required to place it at the higher end of the light-range.</p>
<p><!-- WSA: ad in context bamboo not shown: too many ads --></p>
<p>Nutrients are a factor that needs mention too because despite being very hardy this plant may eventually require some kind of food. To do this, you could either add a few drops of aquarium plant food to the water you use while refilling the container of 1/10th of the recommended strength of a standard plant food. This is to be done every two months or longer as feeding it too much just might prove to be harmful.</p>

In China bamboo is seen as a symbol of longevity due to its long life. In India, it is known as a symbol of friendship.</p>
<p>The plant can be put to a variety of uses, from paper to didgeridoos to the construction of buildings, but recently a new use has been becoming more popular, and that is in clothing. There are a number of reasons behind this new found popularity:</p>
<p>Speed of growth</p>
<p>The speed with which bamboo grows makes it an ideal crop for the organic clothing industry. Given the right climatic conditions and the correct type of soil, bamboo grows very quickly without the need for artificial fertilizers or pesticides. This means it can be harvested frequently, and most importantly organically. OCIA International and NOP are two bodies that currently certify bamboo as organic.</p>
<p>Anti-bacterial properties</p>
<p>Bamboo has been discovered to contain an anti-bacterial agent that, whilst responsible for its ability to withstand pests while growing, remains active after the bamboo fiber has been harvested. It in fact stays potent even after the bamboo fiber garment has been washed fifty times. The great benefit over artificial anti-bacterial agents is that the latter often lead to skin allergies and other issues.</p>
<p>Softness</p>
<p>Bamboo is naturally soft, with a silky cashmere-like feel, and an excellent drape. This property makes it ideal for baby clothing, blankets and so on. It is also naturally porous and and breathable, which allows it to wick moisture away from the surface of the skin.</p>
<p>The above properties have led to bamboo being used in a variety of types of clothing, but it&#8217;s main uses are:</p>
<p>Organic baby clothing</p>
<p>Bamboo clothing&#8217;s hypoallergenic properties, along with its ability to wick moisture away from the skin, make it ideal for baby and children&#8217;s clothing. It is possible to purchase bamboo diapers (nappies), baby blankets made from bamboo fiber, as well as super-soft hats and booties.</p>

<p>In the last decade textile manufacturers have had to look at the way they produce there products, and especially the impact there production techniques have on the environment. Manufacturers of most textile products especially baby clothes have discovered bamboo. The use of bamboo for baby clothes has many advantages with little or no dis-advantages; they are extremely absorbent which makes them ideal for the use of towels and baby nappies. </p>
<p>Bamboo is much softer than cotton and can feel almost silk like whilst being just as durable as cotton. Bamboo baby clothes are also much more absorbent than natural cotton; in fact bamboo baby clothes are as much as 60% more absorbent. Even though bamboo is more absorbent it can be dry in around 15-20% less time.</p>
<p>Bamboo clothing is an eco-friendly produced fabric and has natural antibacterial properties ideal for keeping any new arrival snug and warm. Although the lovely soft feeling is not just good for babies, holding a baby wrapped in bamboo baby clothes is a feeling any adult will love.</p>
<p>Using bamboo for baby clothes and bedding has numerous benefits it keeps baby snug and warm whilst sleeping while absorbing any perspiration, bamboo baby clothes are great for sensitive skin and eczema, this is down to the eco-friendly ways bamboo is produced and the fact no pesticides or fertilizers are needed during the harvest process. Making it the most environmentally friendly fabric there is.     </p>
<p>There are different types of bamboo and bamboo baby clothes are made from a different type than you would see in the use of furniture, this is normally a brown bamboo while the clothes are made from green bamboo. Green bamboo is essentially a tropical grass and naturally grows extremely fast. All without the use of pesticides or the need to be genetically modified. Bamboo also requires a lot less water than cotton and rapidly grows to around 3 meters before being harvested. </p>
<p>All in all buying bamboo baby clothes is without doubt the smart option, it is an eco-friendly, free from chemicals product that is also soft on the skin ideal for dermatitis eczema and other skin irritations.</p>
<p>Above all <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.my-organic-baby-wardrobe.com">bamboo baby clothes</a> make an ideal gift for all those new arrivals.</p>

Bamboo <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.bamboo-textiles.co.uk/products/allergy-skin-conditions/nappy-kit-product.html">washable nappies</a> work out so much more economical than disposables.</p>
<p>Bamboo nappies feel as soft as silk and are super absorbent just like disposables.  The recycling officer from a local council in our area has told us that there are so many disposables binned from a population of 145,000 people they would fill a Double Decker bus &#8211; every day!  Many local authorities subsidise the purchase of our nappies. Keep your receipt and phone the Recycling Dept in your area.</p>
<p>One of the main advantages of bamboo washable nappies is that bamboo has a natural anti bacterial element which helps to reduce the smell and kills germs.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a letter we received recently from an enthusiastic fan of our nappies….</p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;Having decided upon real nappies for both ethical and financial reasons I nevertheless approached them with some trepidation &#8211; my daughter had been raised in disposables which had been easy to deal with &#8211; potentially there was a lot more hassle and mess involved with real nappies, or so I thought.  Young Ben is now five weeks old and looks gorgeous in his fluffy cream nappies, and the laundering is now a manageable part of our daily routine. The nappies were easy to use and not at all messy, and the comprehensive information and helpful advice you provide, has been first rate.  I am happily recommending you to all and sundry, and you can expect a repeat order when we expand our family further&#8221;</em></strong></p>

Is it time for your home to get a face lift? Shoppers usually do not buy new furniture till it&#8217;s a do-or-die necessity. The idea of shopping a furnishings store on a wet Sunday afternoon not often crosses someone&#8217;s mind. Older furniture was designed for the lengthy haul, structure wise, however is missing the boat relating to trendy design. Whereas older styles featured overstuffed seating and typical corduroy and cotton upholstery, right this moment’s fashionable designs feature modern and compact constructions with leather-based and micro-suede. </p>
<p>Choosing a Style</p>
<p>The very first thing to find out when buying new furniture is what fashion you are looking for. Think about your current items, do they suit your day by day wants? Has your family grown? Do you want additional sleeping house for guests? All of these particulars play a consider figuring out which furniture is best for you. Sectionals have increased in gross sales since 2008 as they have grow to be extra affordable and offer additional seating plus a built in mattress and splendid materials to assist turn any bizarre lounge into a WOW room. Wooden sleigh beds have added an elegant really feel to the bed room and changed simple steel and plastic frames. Within the dining room, you&#8217;ll find that sq., pub peak tables have taken over the once conventional wood and oval seating. Dark, stable colours of furnishings are widespread for a classy, modern look whereas deep cherry and oak colours are extra popular for those looking to add a contemporary nation attraction to their home. </p>
<p>Selecting a Brand</p>
<p>The Sunday newspaper is bombarded with quite a lot of flyers featuring dozens of different furnishings companies. When selecting a brand of furniture, take into account track record, longevity and the manufacturing of the product. Ikea is a typical alternative for individuals looking to refurnish their residence with a contemporary pieces on a budget, however the quality just isn&#8217;t the identical as a piece from Ashley Furniture. Just the identical, some shoppers choose Broy-Hill over Ashley or different brands for his or her excellent customer service monitor record. Begin by asking family and friends who they prefer for furniture then discuss every firm with a knowledable sales associate at a furnishings store. Take a look at out the furnishings at a store, even when you do not intend to purchase there, to get a feel for the consolation and frame work that composes every producers piece.</p>
<p>Where to Purchase</p>
<p>Furniture could be purchased on-line or in-store. If you purchase online you fall victim to (possibly) excessive delivery prices and the inability to check out the product before it arrives at your door. If you select a retailer, you might be topic to excessive overhead costs and generally fee-driven sales associates. My personal desire is to search out an online outlet with persistently positive evaluations and many footage that will help you make sure you&#8217;re getting exactly what you need in your dwelling house!  If you have any questions past that, an excellent take a look at is to contact the website&#8217;s customer support and making sure that they get again to you in a well timed and useful method!</p>
<p>Buying <a href='http://www.moderncollections.com/' target='_blank'>modern furniture</a> to fit your style and living space doesn&#8217;t have to be difficult, but usually price tags stop people from getting the brands and looks they like.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Opposite to some information, <a href='http://www.the-floorman.com/engineered_hardwood.php' target='_blank'>engineered hardwood</a> is real hardwood. It is a &#8220;sandwich&#8221; of 1/16&#8243; to 1/8&#8243; of finished wood on top and non-finished plywood below. What you are dealing with is 100% genuine wood.</p>
<p>But did you know that there are times when its favorable to have plywood underneath? That&#8217;s right, the middle layer of plywood is laid cross-ways to the finish layer, providing more strength and a moisture barrier to the flooring.</p>
<p>Engineered hardwood flooring works well in kitchens, basements, and bathrooms where light moisture might appear. Still, it doesn&#8217;t hold up to really wet areas such as basements that flood frequently. Nor does it hold up to kids&#8217; bathrooms which, as you may know, also tend to flood frequently.</p>
<p>The advantage of engineered wood flooring versus laminate is that engineered wood can be sanded after scratches and dings develop. There are some things to keep in mind, though:</p>
<p>Limited Sanding: Engineered flooring cannot be sanded more than 1-3 times (depending on the thickness of the finish layer).</p>
<p><!-- WSA: ad in context bamboo not shown: too many ads --><br />
Professional Sanding Recommended: Because of the low tolerance for failure with sanding engineered wood, you should always have a professional do the sanding. It is very easy to gouge your engineered wood floor, revealing the plywood underneath.</p>
<p>Engineered hardwood flooring is more expensive than laminate, however, it provides better value in the long-run because it has a more “real” wood look and it can be occasionally sanded to revive the wood grain and remove scratches.</p>
<p>Since the top finished layer is pre-finished, it means that it&#8217;s already sanded and sealed. As soon as the floor has been laid, you can walk on it. By contrast, unfinished solid hardwood must be sealed, and this adds waiting time before use. (Note: solid hardwood is available pre-finished, as well.)</p>
<p>You might be interested in the available selection of engineered hardwoods, but for every species of solid hardwood there is an equal species of engineered hardwood flooring. Some examples are:</p>
<p>Hickory: Rich, hand-scraped hickory gives your house a timeless feeling.<br />
Oak: Traditional red oak is inexpensive and always looks great.<br />
Bamboo: All bamboo flooring is engineered. Bamboo flooring is less expensive than other woods and &#8220;green&#8221; because it grows faster.<br />
Maple: Maple has an elegant finish, excellent for dining rooms, living rooms, and family rooms.</p>
<p>As you can see engineered hardwood is a great alternative to other types of hardwood flooring. So if you are bored of your old floors or thinking of remodeling them, you should consider engineered hardwood for your selection.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that you would be able to add considerable amount of value to your house just by installing real hardwood flooring? This is not due to the high-quality of flooring which you would have but because it would have time less charm and the ability to select any décor of your house. If you are thinking of putting in a new real <a href='http://www.americantrustflooring.com' target='_blank'>hardwood flooring ny</a> its crucial that you put in place few ground rules as well as make few adjustments so that you would be able to make sure that your pride and joy will remain in pristine condition for a very long time ahead. There are several reasons as to why real hardwood flooring gets damaged. The main reasons are exposure to Ultra violet rays from the sun, wet spills and harsh contact with the furniture. </p>
<p>Following are couple of steps that will aid you to keep your flooring in beautiful condition without being a slave to it – </p>
<p>1. Attaching plastic pads on the bottom of chairs and other heavy furniture would assist in preventing scraping on the floor.</p>
<p>2. When moving furniture, lift them, don’t drag them or push them.</p>
<p>3. Do not use toys that have wheels. The wheels would scrape the flooring as they are made from hard plastic and can become rough when utilized for a long period of time.</p>
<p>4. Its best that you use a brush attachment when you are vacuuming, it is even counseled that you use separate brushes for the floor and the rest of the house.</p>
<p>5. You should keep mats at the doorways as sand and dirt can be abrasive and could ruin the flooring.</p>
<p>6. As different treatment on floors will need special products for cleaning, its recommended that you ask the flooring consultant about the cleaning agents that are needed. </p>
<p>7. It is best that you keep the drapes and blinds closed as sunlight has the potential to fade your floor when the floor is subjected to it over the period of time.</p>
<p>8. Its vital that you clean up the spill instantly as any liquid including water can stain the real <a href='http://www.americantrustflooring.com' target='_blank'>wood flooring nyc</a>.</p>
<p>9. It is vital that you do not walk on the floor with spiked heels, particularly the ones with the stiletto spiked heels as this might end up scraping the floor.</p>
<p>10. You should ensure that the nails of your pets are trimmed if you’re housing the pets in the area.</p>
<p>If one prefers light colors there are wide range of colors like white ash, sugar maple or the southern yellow pine. In dark colors beech, birch, red oak, heart pine and mesquite and other such colors are available.</p>
<p>Mesquite is the hardest wood which will survive the denting of your hardwood floor, while southern pine would be the softest. Yellow birch, heart pine and beech fall in the middle order.</p>
<p>When you have decided to install <a href='http://www.americantrustflooring.com' target='_blank'>hardwood flooring ny</a> to your home be sure about the contractor you are going to hire and try seeing his sample works if available and also make sure that he is an expert in installing the type of hardwood floor you wish to install.</p>
<p>After he installs the hardwood floor inspect the floors so that you don’t get past any flaws whilst installing. Check the floor with normal lighting from a standing position. You cannot expect your finishing flooring to be like that of your furniture. If the flooring has deep swirls or sander marks it means that it wasn’t finished properly. You might find few irregularities on any wood floor. But, won&#8217;t seem prominent but will only add to the character of the floor.</p>
