Back to School Feng Shui How Rearranging Your Child?s Room Can Make Your Child a Better Student This School Year
(ContentDesk) July 18, 2004 -- Every school year parents and students dutifully trudge through the malls in search of the perfect sneaker or the cool new outfit for the coming school year.
However, it's unlikely that the new shoe or shirt will benefit them at school like a new room arrangement.
How so?
According to feng shui, a child's room that is arranged well can positively impact study habits and create better grades. So notes Kathryn Weber, feng shui expert and publisher of The Red Lotus Letter, an online feng shui E-Zine, (www.redlotusletter.com).
Feng shui, the Chinese technique for design and arrangement, suggests that rooms that have good energy, or "chi", create happier, well-adjusted children.
Feng shui theories believe that for a child's room to have good "chi," the room must follow certain guidelines to be harmonious.
If the guidelines are followed, the room will be more restful, promote good relationships others, and generate good self-esteem.
Perhaps most importantly, harmonious children's bedrooms encourage good study habits and promotes greater success in school.
Follow these eight feng shui tips to help create a room that inspires your child to study more and to do better at school this year.1.
The room must have a desk.
It sounds obvious, but many kids' only workspace is a bed, the bedroom floor, or the family dining table.
Every child needs a suitable study area in the bedroom that includes a desk, chair, and a lamp.
Children with study areas are more likely to study.
Better still, having a study area keeps all the school books and papers confined to the child's room.
Feng shui also teaches that it's best for children to study facing the northeast, the direction of wisdom and learning.
2.
Ground your kids with globes.Buy your kids a globe to promote interest in geography and to help ground them and encourage them to study.
Add a globe in the Northeast corner of the bedroom, if possible, as this is the wisdom corner and the globe helps give this area more weight.3.
Create an achievement area.Every child needs to have recognition for a job well done.
A perfect way to gain this is to create an achievement area on the South wall of the bedroom.
The South is the recognition area, and it is the perfect place to pin up awards, papers with good grades, letters of recommendation, ribbons or trophies. Hanging a roomy bulletin board here to make an "atta' boy" or "atta' girl" spot in your child's room will do wonders for their self-worth and desire to achieve more. 4.
Hang a crystal in the Northeast (study)corner of the room.Crystals are used to make computer chips go faster, so why not use them to make your child study more effectively?
Hang a crystal in the study location to create more study chi and to help sharpen your child's ability to process or think!
Another option is to place a clear quartz crystal on the desk.
These enhance concentration -- particularly for tests.5.
Put your child in the command position.Avoid having children face a wall when studying because this represents an obstacle.
They should be able to when someone enters the room.
Position the desk so that they can see the door.6.
Display maps and other educational artwork.
Maps are another way to ground and encourage educational pursuits.
They encourage "worldly" interest and curiosity and they make suitable images for a child's room. Avoid scary creatures, pictures depicting violence, or sad or dark subjects. Instead, lift their sights with star maps or images of planets.7.
Eliminate TV from the bedroom.Sadly, too many of today's children have TVs in their bedrooms.
This is a feng shui no-no because it can make children much less likely to study and rest fully.
If your child doesn't study as much as you would like and has a TV in the bedroom, ask yourself what is more important:
television or school?8.
Shells and fish are symbols of education.Conch shells and koi or goldfish are excellent symbols of educational success.
Place the conch shell in the Northeast corner of the bedroom.
Or, hang a picture of koi or goldfish in the Northeast corner.
It is not recommended to keep live fish in the bedroom as water in the bedroom is associated with loss.Kathryn Weber is a master feng shui consultant and publisher of the online feng shui E-Zine, The Red Lotus Letter (http://www.redlotusletter.com).

LCD TV Review - Get the Best for Less
What is an LCD TV
An LCD (light crystal display) screen consist of a thin layer of liquid crystals sandwiched between two plates of glass. When an electric current is sent through these crystals an array of tiny multi-colored pixels light up and produce a TV picture.
Because they're so thin and light, LCD screens are now the most popular screens for computers, and as prices come down, are becoming the most popular
screens for TVs.
LCD TV screens are 1/4" to 4" thick, and are 2" to 65" wide.
LCD TVs can cost anywhere from $50 for a hand held model to $15,000 for a 65" widescreen TV.
LCD TV Features
* LCD TVs utilize digital technology which gives you a much sharper and clearer picture than a standard tube TV.
*
LCD TV screens are thin and lightweight so they can be placed almost anywhere in a home or office, even hung on a wall.

How Do Plasma Televisions Work?
Plasma TVs have been one of the most popular home entertainment solutions on the market for several years. They offer outstanding resolution and a quality picture and are usually capable of displaying HDTV signals, allowing you to watch all of your favourite HDTV programs. Compared to rear projection TVs, plasma technology offers some of the best viewing angles- no need to fight over the best seat anymore- and offer uniform screen brightness.But how does plasma technology work? It's pretty simple. Some form of inert gas- say Xenon, for example, is inserted between two plates, which are held together, between which are over two million pixels, capable of producing a mind-boggling array of colors. The gas is then energized by a charge which turns it into a viscous substance, creating an ultraviolet light, which allows each pixel to display the appropriate color.
Unlike rear-projection TVs, each pixel in a plasma display contains red, blue, and green phosphors, there is no need for...
