			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

With it's many wide and varied uses, bamboo is nature's plant decathlete. From food to decorative items; home improvement products to fashion, it continues to fascinate with it's versatility. Our growing article resource list covers many aspects of bamboo use.

More than ever today, bamboo is being pursued by home owners who recognize it's durable strengths along with it's eco-friendly reputation. For example, there are not too many surfaces for flooring as durable and tough as bamboo.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;

What's happening in the world of bamboo? Has a new product made from this remarkable plant just been released?

With it's many wide and varied uses, bamboo is nature's plant decathlete. From food to decorative items; home improvement products to fashion, it continues to fascinate with it's versatility. Our growing article resource list covers many aspects of bamboo use.

More than ever today, bamboo is being pursued by home owners who recognize it's durable strengths along with it's eco-friendly reputation. For example, there are not too many surfaces for flooring as durable and tough as bamboo.

Bamboo clothing is also "shooting up the popular fabric charts" with it's ability to resist disease making it a popular choice compared to cotton which needs to be treated from conception.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

What's happening in the world of bamboo? Has a new product made from this remarkable plant just been released?

With it's many wide and varied uses, bamboo is nature's plant decathlete. From food to decorative items; home improvement products to fashion, it continues to fascinate with it's versatility. Our growing article resource list covers many aspects of bamboo use.

More than ever today, bamboo is being pursued by home owners who recognize it's durable strengths along with it's eco-friendly reputation. For example, there are not too many surfaces for flooring as durable and tough as bamboo.

Bamboo clothing is also "shooting up the popular fabric charts" with it's ability to resist disease making it a popular choice compared to cotton which needs to be treated from conception.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

With it's many wide and varied uses, bamboo is nature's plant decathlete. From food to decorative items; home improvement products to fashion, it continues to fascinate with it's versatility. Our growing article resource list covers many aspects of bamboo use.

More than ever today, bamboo is being pursued by home owners who recognize it's durable strengths along with it's eco-friendly reputation. For example, there are not too many surfaces for flooring as durable and tough as bamboo.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

With it's many wide and varied uses, bamboo is nature's plant decathlete. From food to decorative items; home improvement products to fashion, it continues to fascinate with it's versatility. Our growing article resource list covers many aspects of bamboo use.

More than ever today, bamboo is being pursued by home owners who recognize it's durable strengths along with it's eco-friendly reputation. For example, there are not too many surfaces for flooring as durable and tough as bamboo.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from <a title="fishing rods" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing rods</a> and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

<strong>Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures</strong>

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

<strong>Bamboo Flooring</strong>

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to <a title="bamboo flooring" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo flooring</a>. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

<strong>Window Shades &amp; Blinds</strong>

Window shades and window blinds; <a title="fishing equipment" href="http://bamboogalore.com/BambooFishingRod " target="_blank">fishing equipment</a>; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836410-10543966" target="_blank">
</a>

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Bamboogalore.com will form part of your <a title="bamboo" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o770ar-xrzEINILJGFEGFNIIKMM" target="_blank">bamboo</a> library with information and resources on this hardy plant and if you don't find the information your looking for here, then we can point you in the right direction to find the answers your looking for elsewhere.

              <p>We have all seen it: pandas sitting in trees, chewing on long stalks of bamboo, carefree and happy. But Bamboo is fast becoming the eco-friendly alternative to many every day products. Between bamboo clothing, bed linens, and hardwood flooring, as well as bamboo furniture, utilizes this versatile grass.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, you read that correctly. Grass! Bamboo is a grass, and a renewal resource. Bamboo is normally used for landscaping, to make a backyard more attractive and appealing to the homeowners. But bamboo has other uses as well. Soil erosion is a common problem with new construction sites around the world. Most industries have better management practices in place to avoid soil erosion on new construction sites, and bamboo is a great addition to new construction sites to avoid soil erosion. <br /><br />&#13;
Planting bamboo not only keeps soil erosion to a minimum; it can slow rain run off by creating a barrier for the rain to hit as it runs down an incline, either natural or man made. With over 1,200 varieties of bamboo in the world, there is clearly a bamboo alternative for every one of our daily needs.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo has been used for centuries in Asia, from a source of food to home construction, and it is only now that the western world is catching on to the source that Asia has hidden for centuries. Bamboo is as durable as any known wood used for building materials, but has a much shorter growth span. That is, it only takes weeks for bamboo to grow to lengths which can be utilized, whereas trees take decades. The quickness at which bamboo grows means that there is plenty of bamboo that can be made available for material use.<br /><br />&#13;
It also is a great addition to any yard or home. Since bamboo is a grass, which has leaves, it can help filter the air of toxins and breathe back out fresh clean oxygen for us to breath. Having bamboo in your house is not only considered good luck in Asian cultures, but it can keep the air you are breathing clean and fresh. It is also an attractive addition to your office or living room. Green is a stress reducing color, so having a deep green bamboo plant growing in the corner of your house can help you reduce your daily stress.<br /><br />&#13;
If you are sold on bamboo, there are plenty of products for which you can decorate your house or backyard patio with. There is bamboo furniture, bamboo wind chimes, and bamboo lanterns which you can add to your bamboo laden garden. Whether or not you want a bamboo awning, it can be found should you want one. Bamboo can be made into just about anything; you just need to use your imagination. <br /><br />&#13;
Just remember to keep your bamboo watered. Unlike most household plants, bamboo needs lots of water. That is unless you are trying to dry out your bamboo to make a home made fishing pole! Then dry it out, get your bobbin and go fishing.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

              <p>Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn't it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?<br /><br />&#13;
I would, for one. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.<br /><br />&#13;
Yes, it's great for those of us with horrible allergies.<br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays. <br /><br />&#13;
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind. <br /><br />&#13;
Bamboo can also save you money in the laundry room. Since bamboo is best washed in cold water with a mild detergent, the electricity used to heat up water for laundry will be reduced significantly, many a savings each month on your electric bill.<br /><br />&#13;
Often bamboo is mixed with a small percentage of cotton to help it maintain its shape after washing. Even with the small addition of cotton to its pulp, bamboo has minimal shrinkage in its items and actually has a soft feel than most organic cotton fabrics. A naturally resilient product, bamboo clothing has a longer life than most cotton items, and with the natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties bamboo has, bamboo makes it an ideal candidate for exercise garments and work out wear.<br /><br />&#13;
Granted, bamboo clothing is a new addition to the fashion world; but as different civilizations and cultures become more open to environmentally friendly and eco-centric materials, bamboo will find a wider and denser audience in the fashion industry. The use of bamboo as a textile means that clothing will be less expensive, since the cost of manufacturing bamboo garments is considerably less than that of cotton, rayon and other fabrics. And with bamboo's short growing period, it makes a fantastic renewable resource.<br /><br />&#13;
So the next time you turn away from bamboo clothing because it's an odd idea, consider these few small things and give bamboo a try.</p>           &#13;<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;"><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/author.html">Blair LeMire </a>is a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://bamboopower.com/">writer, director, producer</a>, and artist who first garnered the attention of the international press in 1998 when he performed his song Linda Angel at the vigil held for Linda McCartney at London's Trafalgar Square.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The emergence of bamboo fabric as a serious rival to more traditional fabrics isn't going unnoticed. The qualities that come with bamboo fabrics has meant that more and more people who suffer from certain types of allergens are turning to it in droves.

Bamboo Kun is a property which enables bamboo fabric to retain anti-bacterial qualities despite constant washing. This alone makes bamboo a particularly attractive alternative to traditional fabrics.

Benefits Of Bamboo Fabric

- Keeping bacteria off the skin is a problem with many types of fabric. Not so bamboo. Then there's the issue of body odor which can be caused through bacteria on the skin. By wearing clothes that are made of bamboo, you can reduce the amount of bacteria that thrives on your skin thus also effectively reducing the likelihood of emitting offensive body smell.

- The absorbent qualities of bamboo is another big plus in it's favor. Research has shown it can hold up to three times it's weight in water. This ability to hold a lot of water makes bamboo fiber ideal for inner clothing.

- The porous nature of bamboo fibers means it helps in keeping and absorbing moisture away from the skin helping it to evaporate away. This means that if you are wearing clothes that are made of bamboo fabric during a hot day, you do not have to soak in your sweat uncomfortably for a long time.

- Many people who may be allergic to other fibers including wool should consider bamboo fabric because of it's hypoallergenic qualities. If you are one of those people who are allergic to wool or hemp, you should consider using bamboo fiber instead and save yourself from all the itching, sneezing and discomforts associated with fiber allergies.

- The versatility of bamboo fabric also needs to be mentioned. It has a silk-like look and feel yet it is more resistant to a washing machine cycle and will handle a drier. Many other fabrics need the addition of additives to prevent wrinkling but bamboo has the ability to withstand this. In other words, it is a sturdy fabric yet can hold it's own in the fashion stakes.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The benefits of bamboo clothing continues to gain prominence within the world of fashion and while it's not at the top of the tree just yet, bamboo's remarkable resourcefulness as a material is becoming stronger each year.

Clothing is a multi billion dollar industry and materials such as cotton have dominated the scene for a long time. Those thinking green are now looking for alternatives and bamboo looks a natural choice.

One of the benefits of bamboo clothing is it's hypo-allergenic qualities. The plant has a strong anti bacterial nature assisted by what is known as Bamboo Kun. Allergy sufferers can benefit greatly through using bamboo clothing. Anti bacterial agents within the plant resist the risk of multiplying bacteria.

Bamboo Versatility

Another big benefit with bamboo clothing is it's great versatility. As a resource product, it's known for it's versatile nature and is now being recognized in the same light by the fashion world.

Why?

Simply because of it's ability as a fabric to adapt to the seasons. In other words, it has the ability to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Bamboo clothing has insulation qualities unmatched by many other materials and from an economic point-of-view, this has got to represent big savings for the day-to-day shopper.

Alternative To Cotton

One of the major factors bamboo clothing is gaining ground on cotton materials is simply because of it's production aspects. As a plant, bamboo doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep it free of bugs and disease. The same cannot be said for cotton.

From and environmentalists point-of-view, this is a major factor in choosing bamboo clothing over cotton. Bamboo in it's natural state also retains water making it a viable farming product and when you consider it is one of the most sustainable plants on the planet, then the argument for it's widespread use continues to gather momentum.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Weird dream - Am i sick in the head?</b>
<i><p>Ok, i head this strange dream that i was running through the woods, in broad daylight, and i was chasing a little girl, we came to a muddy embankment, she climbed up it with ease, but i seemed to remember chasing a different girl up a simmilar, but not identical slope, and failing, but with this one, i got to the top, the girl was trapped, there was a fence behind her, and on her right, there was something that looked like green bamboo, and a big tree on her left.
Now that i knew she was trapped, i moved slowly, to scare her more, she was absolutly terrorfied, and i felt really good scaring her like this.
Why was i dreaming this? Am i sick or something?
Note:
There was nothing sexual in this dream
</p></i>
<p>Not necessarily. Dreams often communicate feelings. The pictures that accompany dreams can be and are at times just that, pictures, not reality. Dreams are communication from your deeper self to your awake self, but there is a deeper meaning to the dream that is only represented in the dream. Dreams are communication like a movie.
So what could possibly be the message or the meaning of the dream movie?
I suggest that at some point, or many points, in your childhood, you were baddly scared, scared to the extent that your dream is communicating this troubling image. Your subconscious is communicating a feeling you had but not the actual situation because as a child, a very young child, you could not remember the precise events. Kids don't interrupt or remember events like adults do.
So your subconscious interrupts the feelings you are having with your dream or accompanying dream in an effort to remember and understand the events which lead to these feelings. 
I once awoke in the morning and was feeling like I killed someone and buried them in the backyard. It was a bad feeling, with heavy guilt and shame. But I also remembered as I woke up that I had never killed anyone, really. So it was a dream. But, I did understand, in time, at that time I was feeling the guilt and shame of having done something terrible, very very terrible, that as a kid or very young child, I was not capable of doing or understanding.
So what could have happened that was terrible or seemed so terrible back when you were a small child?
The answer is that this kid you were was not hard to scare very badly, to abuse very badly, to hurt very badly, but that does not mean necessarily that the event was actually all that inappropriate or criminal or unavoidable, but it does mean, that it was terribly scary and painful to you as a child.
This dream may also be a memory of unintended consequence through neglect or ignorance or just an accident. Children are also at time plagued with bad imaginations which scare the hell out of them. Maybe a sign of an absence of love and cuddling. I can remember myself being scared to death at shadows and noises.
Or it may really be a dream about abuse, child abuse in one form or another. Maybe, no joke, you had a terrible scare of your imagination which was not followed often enough by a loving hug or loving and constant tender handling.
Bottom line! You could use some counseling just like the rest of us at times. What you are dreaming is not unusual for many normal people, or at least near normal people. Ask your doctor for assistance with getting counseling. 
We all need it at times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[With bamboo's increase in popularity in western culture it's little wonder,given it's versatile nature, that the fashion industry has jumped on the bamboo bandwagon.

Bamboo 54 and Gucci are two big names in fashion, designing entire lines around bamboo. Gucci recently included bamboo amongst it's line with products such as clutch bags and sandals carrying it's name. More and more fashion designers are using bamboo to manufacture shoes, handbags or jewelry.

One of the big attractions with bamboo fiber is it's comfortable nature and it's easy feel. Bamboo enthusiasts will tell you it's very easy to wear and this enthusiasm is spreading by the day among consumers. The potential for bamboo fashion is enormous. It's been described as having a similar finish and feel to silk. With that, the possibilities are endless.

What about bamboo accesories? Well, accessories are just a natural follow on to main fashion wear. Hats and bags to match dressess, skirts, t-shirts and the like along with a range of jewelry accessories and the outfit is bamboo complete. Further good news is bamboo clothing is extremely soft, breathes extra well and is machine washable. That's just perfect in western society.

With continuing concerns over our environment it was just natural manufacturers, looking to earn environmental "brownie points," would be targetting a product that promoted the qualities natural earth watchers spruiked. Bamboo was the perfect subject choice because of it's versatile nature and while our eastern neighbors have been harnessing the all round abilities of this plant since ancient times, the west has "cottoned on" and is embarking on a bamboo crusade of it's own.

Given it's versatility and resistance, bamboo has indeed become somewhat of a miracle material. Watch it's progress through the fashion ranks during the next years.]]></content:encoded>
