			<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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

[phpzon]Bamboo Wind Chime, 30, HomeGarden[/phpzon]

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

[phpzon]Bamboo Wind Chime, 30, HomeGarden[/phpzon]

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</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.

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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

[phpzon]Bamboo Wind Chime, 30, HomeGarden[/phpzon]

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#13;
              <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.

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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</p>

<p>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<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.

		<description><![CDATA[Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.   <a href="http://bamboogalore.com/bamboo-wind-chimes-how-to-get-great-sounds-from-bamboo-chimes/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

[phpzon]Bamboo Wind Chime, 30, HomeGarden[/phpzon]

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

			<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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</p>

Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</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.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#13;
              <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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

[phpzon]Bamboo Wind Chime, 30, HomeGarden[/phpzon]

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</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>Everyone goes through their own kind of stress these days. However, ridding yourself of unnecessary stress will ultimately make you a more focused and happier person. The following are ways for you to deal with the stress that you encounter on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It is important that you recognize where your stress starts, or what certain situations or people will get you stressed out. When you acknowledge these signs, it will be simpler for you to avoid the stressful situation, or divert your attention to something else. It is also imperative that you recognize what kind of stress you are experiencing, as well the symptoms to that particular kind of stress.</p>
<p>Signs of physical stress are manifested in chest pains, a splitting headache, perspiring a lot, high blood pressure, chest pains, difficulty breathing, stomach pains, fatigue, increase in heart rate, as well as difficulty sleeping. If you experience one or more of these symptoms, it means that your body is telling you that you are undergoing a certain amount of stress, and it is important that you manage it.</p>
<p>Symptoms that point to psychological stress are helplessness, getting easily annoyed with people, depression, low level of self worth, emotional sensitivity, and excess sadness. Managing your emotions and mental state are very helpful when trying to relieve yourself of unnecessary stress.</p>
<p>Behavioral stress is expressed in being impatient, setting yourself apart from other social groups, excess eating, slacking off, as well as neglecting your personal grooming and cleanliness.</p>
<p>When you know where your stress originates from, you will easily find a way out of those stressful situations by avoiding them. So it is important that you acknowledge the people or environments that stress you out.</p>
<p>It is also helpful if you open up to a friend or loved one about the things that bother you. When you are able to vent or speak up about these stressful things, you will have a cleaner, calmer state of mind to go about your duties and daily activities.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>When life's hassles get too much for you to handle, it is a great idea to go on a vacation or out of town trip with your good friends or family members. While on vacation, you are able to forget about the things that bother you regularly, and you are given the opportunity to meditate, take time for yourself, and have fun without being pestered by the stress you left behind. When you come back from your trip, you will be rejuvenated and more relaxed to face the realities of the world once again.</li>

 <li>Don't overload your schedule. Make sure that what you have planned for the week is manageable with the time you have.</li>

 <li>Be sure to eat well and healthy! Avoid junk food and sweets, and load up on your fruits and veggies. These will help make you feel fresh and clean on the inside.</li>

 <li>Do not succumb to fatigue. Always get at least eight hours of sleep so that you avoid waking up grumpy the next day.</li>
</ul>
If none of these tips help you, then it is best that you consult a doctor about your stress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love them or hate them, bamboo wind chimes are certainly a popular item in many homes. Feng shui enthusiasts use them because they are said to provide good chi while others consider them to provide a consoling sound and good spirit.

Still, there are those who consider bamboo wind chimes somewhat of a nuisance especially in suburban areas. With homes in close proximity to one another, the sound of the chimes can travel surprisingly large distances and can break the peace and quiet of some communities.

In a sense, they can test the relationships between neighbors so if you are considering bamboo wind chimes it may pay to check with your neighbors to see if they won't mind the occasional chimes sound traveling within their vicinity.

Types Of Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes can be used either indoor or outdoors. They are more popular as an outdoor decoration and usually take pride of place under a porch or veranda.

Some versions are made up of metallic tubes and connected to the bamboo frame and these are popular indoors. The Bali version is very popular because of it's unique chimes. This effect is created by removing part of the tube. The Bali wind chimes are made from hollow tubes and the special sound it creates is made by the missing section which is removed from one side.

Bali wind chimes have a larger block in the center over normal versions and when this makes contact with the tubes and flat sections below it when caught by wind, it produces it's one of a kind sound.

Experts recommend not adding anything to the individual tubes if you're after a full sound. In addition, by passing the string through a hole at the bottom of the tube rather than the conventional attachment method or stapling it to the bamboo, this fuller sound can be achieved. Those who take building wind chimes more seriously will go to the extra trouble of hand tuning each of the tubes to virtually guarantee the melodic sound they're after.

Natural bamboo, usually lighter in color will have the same type of muted sound as bamboo wind chimes made of carbonized bamboo. However, most artisans refrain from using the pressure drying techniques as it can take some of the resonance qualities out of the wood.

While bamboo wind chimes can be found at a variety of sources, the handmade ones will each have a unique sound, never repeated in another unit and their hand painted designs insure the owner has a one of a kind decoration on their home.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Those who practice feng shui gardening also have a strong connection to bamboo material. Bamboo water fountains for example are an important aspect of feng shui gardening. How?

For example, feng shui gardening dictates that these five elements:

- water
- wood
- fire
- earth
- metal

be represented in your garden. These can be represented by decorations which include water features and wind chimes. Bamboo water fountains and bamboo wind chimes have become popular items in western culture during the past few years.

Feng Shui Gardening

With feng shui gardening becoming a part of more and more people lives in the western world who are discovering the remarkable benefits of feng shui, objects such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are naturally in greater demand.

One of the main aspects of feng shui gardening balance and diversity. It's advisable to use a good variety of plants but avoid crowding them. This is one of the laws of feng shui as clutter can inhibit positive energy flow. The same principle applies to inside the home.

Another important aspect of a feng shui garden is color. The type of plant isn't as important as the color. The impact on energy levels attributed to color within a feng shui garden are said to be strong. For instance, the color red is an uplifting color while white has more of a soothing effect.

Bamboo is a strong aspect of Asian culture and has a strong connection to some aspects of feng shui gardening. For people in western society, products such as bamboo fountains and wind chimes are now readily available both on and off line. Many can be purchased in kit form and are very easy to assemble.

Water elements within feng shui can signal good flow resulting in a more prosperous experience. While it's not the be all and end all of feng shui; there are many other aspects that need to be observed, But at least a bamboo water fountain is a step in the right direction.]]></content:encoded>

[phpzon]Bamboo Wind Chime, 30, HomeGarden[/phpzon]

<b>How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)
</p></i>
<p>All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
It's much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>my doubt about the chinese bamboo plant and wind chimes?</b>
<i><p>can the chinese bamboo plant be kept in any corner of the house?is there any specific place where it should be kept like the south-west part or north-east part etc of the house?My friends say so.and which is the exact place that the wind chimes should be placed in a house according to the feng shui?
</p></i>
<p>Hi There ! I'm a Feng Shui professional. Talking about Bamboo or any plants, should always be placed in the East Direction of your Living room or South East , Never in the Bedroom or Kitchen. Remember to take off all yellowing leaves as this activates the Shar Chi which is also Bad Energy. Bamboo is the Best as this signifies wealth to the Chinese. Plants in the East is for Health and in The South East is for wealth and when placed in the South it makes you popular....you can email me with any questions on ferrus22@hotmail.com   ....talking about wind chimes there many kings ...3, 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8 rods hollow and solid and are used for various needs stay away from them as they are dangerous to play around with 


if you are really interested in Feng Shui you need to get to basics ...its all about balancing the elements in and around the home ..never should you have one element which overpowers the other</p>

<b>Looking for some inspiration for my pond area, what can I add please? (pics)?</b>
<i><p>Ok I like the zen/oriental/buddha theme but am unsure on what else to add to my pond area?

The brushwood at the back is completely bare making it look boring, I'm thinking possibly a wall hanging or something??

Can you please help...I'm lost.
Links would be good please.

I'm going to buy a bamboo wind chime as I like them.

Thanks xx

<p>First of all, I think your pond looks beautiful! I really don't think you need to add much, remember, the plants you have will fill out.
I would add a large mirror against the brushwood, and then a red Japanese Maple in a beautiful pot. The maple will then be reflected in both mirror and pond.
Maybe a few smooth, large pebbles, but don't over-do it.
A bamboo wind-chime would be perfect.</p>
