What is a Batting Cage?

Batting cages act as work-out facilities for baseball players. Since there are various components used for the net, knowing the different types will enable you to assess which is better and which can work to you advantage.

A batting cage is an enclosed cage for baseball players. It is comprised of a frame, an automatic baseball pitching machine, and a net or chain-link fence. It is rectangular in shape and it is used for batting sessions. Batting cages are more often seen indoors.

The batter needs to stand at one end of the cage. Then, the live or machine pitcher will post at the other end. The live pitcher or pitching machine will then pitch baseballs towards the batter. The objective is for the batter to hit the balls.

Batting speed varies, often ranging from 30 to 90 miles per hour. This means the machine can also be configured to pitch at a certain speed.

The importance of this batting cage is to keep the baseballs within a certain range for the balls to be easily collected. The floor inside is sloped to automatically feed the baseballs back towards the auto-pitching machine.

In batting cages, the most important component is the material used for the net. You can find batting cages made from:

 Nylon
 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
 Polyethylene (PE)
 Polyester
 Kevlar
 Spectra and
 KVX200 and other materials.

When choosing one, it can be determined by the application.

NYLON

AKA-DURA TECH is a brand known to use nylon for batting cages.

The conventional material has always been knotted or knotless nylon netting. Nylon has been known since the 1930s. The twine can be dyed to different colors.

Nylon performs very well when used indoors. It is scratch resistant and has high tension capabilities, especially if kept out of harmful elements. Its weakest attribute is its water-absorption capabilities. It can rot immediately or have mildew because of this. It can also shrink or stretch. If it is used outdoors, it can fall off quickly.

ATHE KVX200 (Kevloy Generation 2)

This is considered as a commercial polymer. It is lightweight and strong. It doesn’t absorb water and won’t breakdown in direct sunlight. It has a so-called integral UV Inhibitor.

An integral UV inhibitor acts as a component that lies within a polymeric blend. It gets extruded and becomes individual fibers. It is then braided or twisted together. It can’t wear off easily because the UV inhibitor is built right into the KVX200.

Kevloy Generation 2 employs a unique carbon based black die. It stabilizes the polymeric blend. The carbon die makes the net fade-resistant. It continues to look good even after using it for more than 2 years.

KVX200 has a scratch resistance attribute. It also possesses high long term break strengths – both for indoor or outdoor use. It does not absorb water. It is also lightweight. Aside from this, it has excellent UV-resistant capabilities. However, the KVX200 is more expensive.

POLYETHYLENE (PE)

This is very popular because it is inexpensive. It also has some excellent properties for outdoor use despite its cheap price tag.

Polyethylene or PE does not absorb water. It doesn’t rot, and this makes it the best choice for outdoor cages. If you intend to use PE in direct sunlight, make sure that it has a UV inhibitor. PE has lower break strength as compared to nylon. Though the break strength is lower, it holds its strength better when exposed to various weather conditions.

My indie song of the day (AND MQs!~) ☺10 PT TRIVIA!?

I know that Owl City is going pretty mainstream (bit fail to all the true indie kids that like him) but all the pop people pretty much only like the song “Fireflies” since it’s the only one they know- and my two favorites by him are:

Saltwater Room (I plan on dueting this with a friend of mine next year at homecoming)

Hello Seattle (Seattle is just the coolest city ever. )

MQ1: How was your Halloween? Whad’ja do?
MQ2: Who is your favorite- like in general?
MQ3: Who’s the cutest kid in Wisconsin? (Right answer gets 10pts! This is an indie-culture thing)
MQ4: What’s your favorite kind of ramen/noodles?
Fair enough, both points. But indie is a wide range, they’re definitely too mainstream now- but before, they could’ve been classified as “indie-pop” legitly.

psh owl city’s sound is too mainstream & annoying-poppy to be truly indie.

Current favorite(s) = grizzly bear, girls, the Antlers, Los Campesinos!

Natural Treament for Dry Skin

Dry skin has no permanent cure but the skin can be softened and made smoother by using a few remedies. Most popularly, lotions and creams are used to soothe the dry skin. Using a mild soap or a cleansing body wash might eliminate the problem temporarily. However, this option can turn out to be pretty expensive if the skin is genetically dry or just exceptionally dry. Certain remedies can be used to soften the dry skin right at home.

Remedies:

1.    First, drink water. Water is an antioxidant and hydrates the body from inside and out. It remedies dryness in its own mild way and excretes wastes and hazardous chemicals like urea, excess salts and other chemicals from the body. It plays a vital role in moisturizing skin.

2.    If your palms turn rough due to hard work and excessive drying of the skin, it would be more advisable if you would apply into the affected part a mixture of lime juice and coconut oil. Doing so would greatly and effectively scrap dry skin.

3.    Honey, a dry skin natural remedy, is a substance that is healing to the skin. When applied to the skin it is healing and moisturizing. It helps dead skin cells move from the surface and stimulates renewal and re growth of skin tissues. It is also antibacterial. In severe cases, you can put honey on skin that needs a bandage. It will keep the bandage from sticking to the wounded skin.

4.    Avoid using anti-aging products that are chemical based. If you really need to use a product as a home remedy, you should choose products with natural ingredients such as Cynergy TK, Coenzyme Q10, Phytessence Wakame and manuka honey. These are very potent ingredients that are not only helpful in keeping your skin moisturized, they actually help the epidermis improve its water retention capacity. Thus, the result is a well moisturized, softer, and more supple skin.

5.    Silicone creams – If your dry skin is caused from frequent hand washing or harsh work conditions, a cream that contains silicone might be your best bet. The silicone is water resistant and forms a barrier between your skin and the elements.

6.    In order to reduce the dryness of the skin, massage therapy must be used. Any herbal oil will do for the massage. Almond, avocado and olive oils are the best. The whole skin must be massaged and fingers must be used to dig deeper so as to pass the oil into the skin. After the massage, you must wait for about half an hour (keep the massaged skin exposed to the air if possible) and then go for a bath. The period helps the oil to permeate into the skin.

7.    Olive or almond oil and egg yolk can also alleviate dryness. Mix one yolk in a tea spoon of olive oil and add rose water and apply this mask on your skin. Leave for 15 minutes and wash with a face wash.

Skin Care for Dry Skin

Although most people think they have normal skin, very few people are lucky enough to have normal skin. Most people have dry skin, oily skin or a combination skin type. Oily skin is usually easy to identify. Dry skin, however, is sometimes more difficult to recognize. Many of us have dry skin and aren’t even aware of it. Skin care for dry skin is very important in keeping our skin looking and feeling healthy. Many times our daily routine leads to us developing dry skin, but we don’t realize it until it’s too late. In situations like this, the individual tries to correct the dry skin after the fact when it’s more difficult.

One example of skin care for dry skin is avoiding overexposure to the sun. While everyone loves to look tanned in the summer, sitting in the sun too much can cause many problems, the least of which is dry skin. Skin cancer is a real risk from overexposure to the sun’s rays. Overexposure to the sun may not show up in our skin immediately, but does over time. Premature wrinkles and aging is a consequence of too much sun and tanning. Usually by the time the individual has reached this point, it’s almost too late to start practicing skin care for dry skin. It’s never too late; however, preventing it is much easier than trying to cure it.

Many people have dry skin even without spending time in the sun and need skin care for dry skin. In some cases, dry skin is hereditary or genetic. The most common places on the body for dry skin are the hands, shins and sides of the abdomen. Dry skin is more common in the winter because the humidity is lower. When people get older they also suffer from dry skin because of the changes their bodies go through naturally with age. This is especially true with post-menopausal women whose bodies are no longer getting the necessary hormones they got when they were younger. For these individuals, skin care for dry skin is almost a necessity. Without proper skin care for dry skin or treatment, the dry skin can lead to dermatitis, which a more serious inflammation of the skin.

Although there are a variety of different products you can get for dry skin, there are also preventative measures you can take at home. Try taking warm baths or showers as opposed to hot because hot water can dry out your skin. You may want to lessen your showers to once a day and no more than 5 to 10 minutes. Use a body or hand soap that contains moisturizing ingredients or apply a moisturizer to your body right after you dry yourself from a shower or washing. You may also want to use more moisturizers in the winter. While these at-home methods of skin care for dry skin may not cure dry skin, they are a big help.

Making Earrings with Beads, Ear Wire and Eye Pins

It is quite easy to make earrings to coordinate with other jewellery pieces by using similar
colours and beads. The hoop earring is the easiest, all you have to do is tread on the beads
and attach the hoop to the ear wire. The dangling earring means making loops, but is also
easy with a little practice.

You will need…
· Beads
· Earring hoop
· Ear wire

Step-by-step for hoop earrings

1-Gently pull the wire at the top of the hoop until it clears the metal clasp and thread on the
beads.

2-Carefully replace the wire into the metal clasp at the top of the hoop.

3-Open the loop of the ear wire and thread on the hoop. Close the loop of the ear wire.

Dangling Earrings

You will need…
· Beads
· Eye pins
· Head pins
· Ear wire

Step-by-step for dangling earrings

1-Decide on the pattern of beads to be used.

2-Thread the beads onto an eye pin or a head pin (an eye pin if you are going to attach
another bead to it, a head pin if that is the last bead to dangle) and form a loop.

To make a loop

· Thread bead onto eye pin or head pin

· Using the flat nose pliers, bend the open end of the eyepin at right angles, as close
to the bead as possible

· Using the wire cutter, cut the bent end of the eyepin leaving approximately 6-7mm
of wire. The length needed to form the loop depends on amount of wire needed to
create a loop to match the loop already in place, at the other end

· Using the round nose pliers, grab the very end of the bent end of the eyepin, about
5mm from the tip of the pliers. The exact position on the pliers depends on the
size of loop required to match the loop already in place at the other end

· Holding the tip of the wire, roll the pliers along the wire, forming a loop which is
centered over the hole in the bead

3-Attach beads, in the chosen sequence, by opening the loop of one bead and attaching to the
loop of the next bead.

4-Finish by attaching the beads to the loop of the ear wire.

Why You Should Purchase Handmade Beaded Jewellery

Many of us probably own several different pieces of mass produced designer jewellery that we have either purchased at a jewellery mall ourselves, consisting of mass produced metal and gemstone look-alike glass jewellery, or unfortunately received as special gifts over many years from family and well wishers. However, you may not own any genuine handmade beaded jewellery consisting of unique and genuine gemstones. There are many reasons why you should purchase handmade beaded jewellery and make these special pieces a regular part of your handmade beaded jewellery collection.

Handmade beaded jewellery created with genuine semi-precious gemstones is delicately made with love and utmost care by individual jewellery artists. They do not operate automated machines that speed up, depersonalise and cheapen the jewellery process. Instead, they choose to delicately handcraft each piece of jewellery with only the help of a few expensive and expertly used specialised tools, their hands and the imaginative ideas that are instilled in their head that’s all needed to produce unique and genuine handcrafted beaded bracelets and handcrafted beaded necklaces. You will be supporting the talent and creativity of the specialised jewellery artists who make this beautiful handmade beaded jewellery. Your financial support will also help these talented individuals to continue their preciously talented work. Many artists receive relatively little financial compensation for the extended amount of hours they exact into their delicate work. Most artists create handmade jewellery to fulfil their creative passion and creativity talent, not to make money. However, they still need to earn a decent living to continue their passion and trade. Therefore, it is very important to support the arts and crafts community. If enough customers purchase their products, artists will be able to create even more amazing pieces of beautiful handcrafted beaded bracelets and handcrafted beaded necklaces, wearable and uniquely genuine beaded jewellery. Purchasing handmade beaded jewellery is a great way for you to personally contribute to the arts and crafts community and gain some beautiful and delicate pieces of jewellery in the process.

Handmade jewellery is also much higher-quality and more delicately and durably constructed than most artificially mass produced so-called jewellery items items. More care and attention goes into one tiny piece of handmade beaded jewellery than an entire factory of mechanically massed reproduced items! Mass Producing Factories are specifically designed to produce as many articles of mass produced jewellery as physically possible; their main focus is on mass volume production for the minimum of price and effort, the emphasise is on volume of sales and high quality of the jewellery items is not an issue. On the other hand, dedicated jewellery artists are only concerned with producing unique jewellery items, being creative and of very high-quality. The unique jewellery pieces take many hours, even days or weeks of labour intensive work to create just one individual piece of unique jewellery. However, the care and attention to detail is well worth the extra wait and maybe cost!

Another reason to purchase handmade beaded jewellery is because each piece is genuine and unique. No two pieces are ever exactly alike because the artists handcraft each item individually. Therefore, you never need to be concerned about showing up at your next high society or even works party or social event and discovering many other women wearing the exact the same mass produced necklace or mass produced bracelet as you are wearing. Handmade beaded jewellery allows you to express your individually creativity by choosing a unique and genuine one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery that best reflects your own personal lifestyle and personality. This option is certainly not available by perusing the jewellery department of your local shopping mall. Anyone can pick out a piece of jewellery from a selection of hundreds of mass produced jewellery pieces at your traditional store. However, if you choose to purchase handcrafted beaded jewellery at Actual Gemstone Jewellery, you will be able to proudly display your genuine and unique beaded jewellery knowing you and your heirs are the only people in the world with this exact same piece, unique, genuine beaded jewellery!

The next time you are looking for a piece of beautiful and awe inspiring jewellery, consider purchasing unique handmade beading bracelet, handcrafted beaded necklace or similar earrings. You will be showing your individual support for the talented jewellery artists who lovingly create high-quality, unique items. You will not only be helping the local arts community, but gaining some beautiful new pieces of handmade beaded jewellery to add to your existing gemstone jewellery collection.

If you have a challenging situation and need the courage to face a long-overdue speaking of your truth, a difficult request to make, a public-speaking engagement, a variety of the extremely rare type of semi-precious jewellery is considered by healing experts and believing gemmologists, a selection of the most beneficial gemstones to wear or carry especially when incorporated into handmade beaded bracelets or handmade beaded necklaces all unique silver jewellery with genuine and unique semi-precious gemstones.

Semi-precious birthstones and healing gemstones worn as handmade semi-precious jewellery is considered by healing experts and believing gemmologists, as the most beneficial healing gemstones to wear or carry, especially when incorporated into unique and genuine handmade beaded bracelets or handmade beaded necklaces all with unique sterling silver jewellery with genuine and unique semi-precious gemstones.
