Kids Love Puppies And New Bedroom Furniture by Patricia Taylor
Don't fool yourself. Kids are affected by their surroundings. High on that list is their bedroom.
Children have a special feeling about their bedroom. It's theirs! It's their safe harbor. It's where they feel especially warm, safe and comfortable.
Parents should take special care in selecting and furnishing that special room
When it comes time to decorate a child's bedroom, mommy often heads to the local department or furniture store. She makes her selection from the merchandise on the sales floor, and then consider the job done.
Hold on. This method of designing a child's bedroom can cause problems for years to come. Kid's bedroom furniture must be planned to meet a child's growing needs.
To do this the set needs to grow with the child. The set needs to have add-on pieces that can be purchased when the child needs more drawers, etc.
Think Safety with Kids Furniture
A child's bedroom set also needs to be created with safety in mind. A good youth bedroom set uses solid screws, curved wide edges, solid wood that will not crack or break, and easy to use pulls for opening drawers.
The little person's bedroom furniture set needs to have easy to roll out drawers with automatic stops. And one last thing, it should be easy to clean.
To help build the child's sense of well being the set should include more than just a bed, nightstand, dresser, and student desk.
This is more important when buying a youth's bedroom ensemble. Older children collect television sets, stereo systems, computers, and schoolbooks. They need table tops.
Kids Need Storage
They need room to store their equipment, toys, and sporting goods. This means they need more furniture.
Most people never see a youth bedroom set at their local department or furniture store. That is because they are more of a designer item. Department stores only carry items that move off the sales floor quickly.
This sometimes means their child's bedroom sets are lower quality, so they can be priced to sell quickly.
Shopping online has become the preferred way to buy high quality furniture at affordable prices. You will often find that your online furniture merchant offers higher quality than you can find at the local merchant's store.
One example is the Flash set. It includes a twin bed with closed and open storage, one bookcase headboard with an integrated light, a night table with two drawers, a 5-drawer chest, a 6-drawer double dresser, a student desk, and a dresser with 3 drawers which can make a perfect entertainment center.
The cost of purchasing this set from a reputable online store is about $2050.00 with shipping included. That price includes a five year manufacturer's warranty.
Easy Clean Surfaces
Another similar child bedroom set is the Q-bik. Both of these make excellent youth bedroom sets. Their sheik, modern design and easy to clean surfaces make cleaning the bedroom so easy even your child will want to pitch in (we can dream can't we?).
If a teen is asked what they want in a bedroom set, the first thing they will ask for is something that won't embarrass them. Both of the bedroom sets recommended here are excellent choices, but of course there are many others to choose from online.
Child bedroom sets need to be functional. This is first and foremost. Most parents understand this when deciding whether to buy a child's bedroom set with a loft bed, bunk bed, or trundle bed.
Video Game Chair
Sure parents want functionality when shopping for a child's bedroom set, but they may not take into consideration what their children will do with their furniture. One thing most parents overlook is a video game chair.
This is an ergonomically designed chair that allows children hours of enjoyment, without damaging their posture. Kid's bedroom furniture sets do not include video chairs, but it is an important add on.
Another functional completion piece to a kid's bedroom furniture set is a beanbag chair in a sport or fantasy shape, or a foam chair. Both are flexible and adjust to fit the complex postures children flop into when watching television or talking on the telephone.
Shopping for children's bedroom furniture can be fun and affordable when done through the Internet. Just think like a child and you'll come up a winner!

Super Bowl Sets Twitter Records (newsy-allvideos)

**BY EVAN THOMAS**
**ANCHOR LAUREN ZIMA**
Want to know who took the title in Sunday's Super Bowl? It wasn't the G-men
nor the Pats. It was -- Twitter.
At least -- that's the sentiment among the Twitterati.
The official word, from Twitter's TweetDeck? 10k tweets per second in the
final three minutes of the game set a US sports-tweeting record.
So much for all those couch potato quarterbacks. Arm-chair Twitterbacks were
exercising their thumbs and fingers like never before. Well almost. TechCrunch
sizes up the competition.
**"Last year, there were several moments during the Super Bowl that set
records for the most tweets per second during a sporting event, with a high of
4,064 TPS. Of course, the highs during the Super Bowl were no match for New
Years Eve 2011 in Japan, which saw 6,939 tweets per second."**
As social media grows, so do its advertising implications. While many people
tweeted about the ads -- or Madonna's act -- or MIA's fickle finger of fate --
there was nothing fickle about engagement in the Twitterscape. The Next Web
calls it -- a trend.
**"The news should not come as any surprise as Twitter continues ...
