				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quilting is a creative thing people ever made which essentially do stitching together of layers of padding and fabric. Patchwork quilt itself may date back as far as ancient Egypt. Very old indeed. One essential thing in quilting is batting.</p>
<p>Picking a good batting is more important that you think. Nothing does more to determine the comfort and cuddliness of your quilt than the batting you use in it. When you&#8217;re just starting out in quilting, it can be very hard on your budget to have invested in all the tools and supplies you need, fabric for your first quilt, and then spend even more money for your batting.</p>
<h2>What is Batting?</h2>
<p>First thing first, what we need to know is what exactly batting is. When we look at the quilt, we can see the soft layer between the backing and the quilt top. Batting has two purposes, First, it gives dimension and definition to the patchwork quilt. Second, it functionally gives warmth to the users. Batting comes in various thickness, so batting will give the shape whether a quilt flat of puffy, as well as stiff or drapable. It is available by the yard or packaged to fit standard bed sizes.</p>
<p>Backthen, quilters used any natural fibers for the quilt’s middle layer. Now, quiltmakers have plenty of options to choose from natural and synthetic products which each has its own characteristics. Your option on batting selection should complement the nature and use of the finished quilt.</p>
<div class="insert">

<h2>What are Patchwork Quilt Batting Terms and Qualities?</h2>
<p>Getting more curious with <em>patchwork quilt</em> batting? Check these various types and batting terms as you turn more deep into the world of patchwork quilt.</p>
<p><strong>Drapability</strong> is the sparseness/density of the quilting and the loft of the batting that affects the drape, or relative stiffness of softness of the finished patchwork quilt.</p>
<p><strong>Loft</strong> describes the battling thickness. Different appearances of a finished patchwork quilt is determined by different loft levels.</p>
<p><strong>Grain line</strong> points to the lengthwise grain which is stable and doesn’t have much give; the crosswise grain will be stretchy.</p>
<p>As another fabric product, patchwork quilt should be washed periodically. Give attention to <strong>washability and shrinkage</strong> profile of a quilt. Polyester and wool batting resist shrinking, while cotton fabric will shrink from three to five percent. Some quilters choose the puckered, antique look that comes up when batting shrinks.</p>
<p>Opposed to Shrinkage profile, <strong>resiliency</strong> is a factor which determines the batting ability to regain its original shape. It defines the quickness of a batting can spring back when unfolded and how it resists creasing.</p>
<div class="insert">
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Patchwork-Quilt-Valerie-Flournoy/dp/0803700970/?tag=animasport-20" rel="nofollow"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-114" alt="The Patchwork Quilt Book by Valerie Flournoy" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/The-Patchwork-Quilt-Book-by-Valerie-Flournoy.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a><em>The Patchwork Quilt Book.</em> Twenty years ago Valerie Flournoy and Jerry Pinkney created a warmhearted intergenerational story that became an award-winning perennial.

<h2>How Will Your Patchwork Quilt Be Used?</h2>
<p>The essence of quilting is how should the quilt will be used. This can answer most of your questions on which batting is most suitable for your project.</p>
<p>Some questions are: is it a quilt for baby which will washed and dried in a fast cycle? Is it a child’s bed accessory which will get pulled and tugged? Is it an heirloom project that will be used sparingly and only laundered once every few years? Or is it a decorative item that will never be washed? Is it a wall hanging that needs to be maintained shard and crisp corners?</p>
<p>Tying your quilt will make you choose a medium to high-loft batting. Batting options itself could include polyester.</p>
<h2>Patchwork Quilt Determined by Batting Selection</h2>
<p>When doing quilt, take a note that battings are checked with an amount of space you can leave unquilted. For example, a batting label reads: strong enough to stitch up to 12&#8243; apart. This means that you can leave up to 12&#8243; square open space on this quilt between your quilting lines without worrying about the batting shifting or bunching after you wash it.</p>
<p>Leaving the space unquilted will gives you the opportunity to finish quilts much faster than others. In the first time, quilts were created using loose, raw cotton that need to be densely quilted to keep it intact on its place. This is the reason which quilts needed to have at least 15 or more stitches per inch to prevent the cotton from shifting and getting lumpy.</p>
<p>Nowadays we can stitch our quilts so loosely, because the material is now far better than the old days. If you need to finish a quilt faster with the minimum amount fo quilting stitches, then you better seek for a batting that can be left open 8 inches or more.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>How integrated wall shelving systems can help gain more interior spaces?</em> Moving to smaller apartments or house means a sacrifice to internal space dedicated for putting furnitures and appliances. The usual way to keep things neat and ordered is by organize them into certain container or storage i.e. cupboard, chest, dresser, etc. However, this common storing habit won’t match up with the new limited space available, so the task to search for new space starts not from the floor instead the wall.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Prepac-Altus-Mounted-Audio-Console/dp/B0054ZSK30/?tag=animasport-20"><img alt="Wall Shelving Systems for Decorative Photo Frames" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wall-shelving-systems-for-decorative-photo-frames.jpg" width="635" height="340" /></a></p>

<h2>Choose Wall Shelving Systems by Purpose</h2>
<p>One of the factor which everyone should count when choosing wall shelving systems is the location of the wall shelving unit, plus the space available in that location. As an assumption, putting a wall shelving system on the east wall where it has a projection on the wall, should previously counted how much the projection height. When it’s not calculated precisely, it will obstruct the wall shelving systems if the wall shelving unit is higher than the projection</p>
<p>Load factor is another important thing to consider when choosing wall shelving units. A heavy metal wall shelving systems is the most proper choice to hold heavy loads like home tools, metal sculptures, or bold encyclopedias. To serve moderate loads, a glass or wood wall shelving systems would be a good fit, while wireframe unit should handle best for those bulky goods which may not be very heavy.</p>
<h2>Choose Wall Shelving Systems by Individual Requirements</h2>

Those categories are free-standing, hanging, modular, adjustable and fixed wall shelving system.</p>
<p>Some special categories does exist like track-type wall shelving unit which can be reconfigured easily and quickly. Changing almost everything about this type is an easy job.</p>
<p>Wall shelving systems also depends on the room where it installed. In a kids room, a wall shelving unit with adjustable shelves is the fittest choice. For a private library, a wall-mounted wall shelving system with fixed shelves will do the job. Designer’s room is a dynamic type of interior since presentations are certain event, so interior look should be changed in every few weeks. Putting a free-standing wall shelving systems in designer’s office is the best option.</p>

<p>Good points about DeLonghi EC155:</p>
<p>DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker doesn’t take up too much room on the counter and looks nice with the silver metal accents. 8-10 shots can be made before the next refill since it has a good size water reservoir.

<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Breville-BJE510XL-Fountain-Multi-Speed-900-Watt/dp/B000QBFFU8/?tag=animasport-20"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71" alt="BJE510XL Breville Juice Extractor Juice Fountain Multi-Speed 900-Watt Juicer" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Breville-BJE510XL-Juice-Fountain-Multi-Speed-900-Watt-Juicer.jpg" width="600" height="800" /></a></p>
<p>Instead of a powerful 14,000 rpm motor speed, this BJE510XL Breville Juice Extractor has 5-speed set ranging from 6,500 rpm to 12,500 rpm, enable users to choose their own extracting speed for an optimum performance. Cleaning is a trivial task since the juice jug and froth are separated, as well as detachable spout and included cleaning brush.</p>
<p>The unambiguously designed juicing system boasts an extra-wide feed chute that is focused over the shredding disc. This provides more efficient juicing than systems that introduce ingredients on the side of the shredding disc. The 3&#8243; chute annihilates the need to pre-chop ingredients before running them into the juicer, saving you time.</p>
<p>Compared to the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro, the BJE510XL Breville juice extractor still wins for more than one criteria. Hamilton was louder and not solidly built as the Breville. Its variable speed is also an essential feature which is not generally found on other juice extractor model.</p>
<p><em>“Have had the Breville Ikon juicer for about 2 months now and use it every day, often twice a day.” </em>– Henry K.</p>
<p><em>“I make fresh juice for my husband and kids every day.”</em> – Amy D. Ashburn</p>
<p><em>“The variable speed settings let you adjust so you can extract the most juice from your fruits and vegetables.” </em>– Morgan Carcuso</p>
<h2>800JEXL Breville Juice Extractor Elite Juice Fountain</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Breville-800JEXL-Fountain-1000-Watt-Extractor/dp/B0002VAFVG/?tag=animasport-20"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72" alt="800JEXL Breville Juice Extractor Elite 1000-Watt" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Breville-800JEXL-Juice-Fountain-Elite-1000-Watt-Juice-Extractor.jpg" width="600" height="800" /></a></p>
<p>Tagged with price to almost $300 a unit, the 800KEXL Breville juice extractor is worth to said as the “Rolls Royce of juice extractor”. The die-cast metal housing, stainless-steel micromesh filter and titanium-plated cutting disk, however has only 2-speed range: 6,500 rpm (low speed for softer ingredients) and 13,000 rpm (high speed for harder ingredients), but still it doesn’t undervalue its performance to produce good and healthy juice.</p>
<p>The downside is 800JEXL Breville juice extractor has a limited warranty period of 3 years, not quite good compared to other juicers in its class which can go as long as 15 years. As compared with Green Power Juicers by a customer, Robert Thomas, this Breville juicer is rather noisy. But, when it comes to taste and pulp, 800JEXL Breville Juice Extractor still has its advantages.</p>
<p><em>“I am happy with this buy. so easy to use that we are making and drinking healthy fruit/vegetable juice.”</em> – Iyan Hanesh</p>
<p><em>“I have been using my juicer for about a month now and I absolutely love it!”</em> – J. L. Vaden</p>
<p><em>“This machine juices very quickly, with a good yield and leaving pretty dry pulp.”</em> – Gita Restini</p>

<ol>
<li>Powder coat finish is smooth and nice. Almost no defect found</li>
<li>The hangers move independently, so first you need to decide where each bike located and then use some clamping system like zip tie to put them in place and prevent movement.</li>
<li>As the gravity does its job, a high-end road bike with light weight wheels may not suitable to hang on its wheel since it put certain pressure which may alter the wheel’s shape.</li>
<li>Defining rack’s height is a trivial task but should be considered carefully. 8 feet off the ground seems to be an ideal height, since you can still put something beneath them.</li>
<li>Screws to the wall provided are not long enough, about 2 inches, may have the risk of ripping out.</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first quarter of the year is nearing its end, means summer is just about months to come and more American residents will be riding bicycles for fun and exercise. Some cities are making more features for cyclists to help them roam the city, just like City of Concord, California which recently has installed bike storage racks spreading in 15 convenient locations, accomodating more than 100 bicycles.</p>
<p>The initiative is a great move from the local government since the issues for eco-friendly transportations and lower carbon footprints are climbing up on the second decade of 21<sup>st</sup> century. Urges  for additional bike storage racks, lines and trails were also getting called for, as recently reported in Worchester. The city has been soliciting input as it updates its seven-year open space plan, to create a better place for its residents to bike in the city, and furthermore for recreational purposes.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-38" alt="Outdoor Bike Storage Racks" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/outdoor-bike-racks.jpg" width="600" height="500" /></p>
<h2>Government Regulations on Outdoor Bike Storage Racks</h2>
<p>Regulations are made to accommodate every citizen needs but not to forfeit other public interests. As an example of how people of Worchester advocates bike racks, lines and trails previously said, government could not just instantly approve the plead, but instead calculate how the implementation will influence another public aspect.</p>
<p>The explicit example comes from the city of Philadelphia which regulate how public bike racks should be built. Everyone who wants to install their own bike at their own expense, a permit should be obtained (no fee required). Streets Department provide the permit request application <a href="http://potholes.phila.gov/tap.nsf/39cc3b5e0927f0738525782400810255?OpenForm" target="_blank">here</a>, applicants should draw where they want to put their racks, take some photos and and mail it all in to bikeracks@phila.gov.</p>
<p>About bike parking zoning code, the government give the rules as follows:</p>
<p><i>1)      </i><i>Creates three classes of bicycle parking spaces according to how they protect against theft and inclement weather</i></p>
<p><i>2)      </i><i>Requires the establishment of standards for racks and bicycle parking spaces by Department of Licenses and Inspections and Streets.</i></p>
<p><i>3)      </i><i>Requires that bicycle parking spaces be provided by:</i></p>
<ul>
<li><i>All non-residential uses with gross floor area larger than 7500 square feet</i></li>
<li><i>Multiple-family dwellings when 12 or more are provided on a lot</i></li>
<li><i>Public parking lots</i></li>
<li><i>Low occupancy facilities with 6 or more employees</i></li>
</ul>
<p><i>4)      </i><i>Reduces the number of required off-street automobile parking spaces by one (1) for every five (5) sheltered bike parking spaces provided on a lot, with a maximum reduction of 10%.</i></p>
<h2>Public Outdoor Bike Storage Racks Designs</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-39" alt="Common Bike Storage Racks for Public Outdoor Use" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Common-Bike-Storage-Racks-for-Public-Outdoor-Use.jpg" width="250" height="160" /></p>
<p>In open public area, outdoor bike storage racks comes in general shapes like reversed “U” shape and wavy lines which is planted on the ground. Any bike then can chain/lock their bicycles to the bike storage racks, to prevent them moving independently, interfere with other road users, or in the worst case, getting stolen.</p>
<p>With the growth of bicycles and cyclist enthusiasts, outdoor bike storage racks are also flourish in numbers. However, the growth is not followed by good and aesthetic designs. The conventional public bike storage racks design is still spread at large, good for serving functionalities but lame in doing city’s public area decoration.</p>
<p>Adding the value of public outdoor bike storage racks, some design competitions have held to choose most suitable design ideas to be applied for public use. As an example, the 2008 <a href="http://nycityracks.wordpress.com/">CityRacks Design Competition</a> which were installed for public at Astor Place  in New York. The competition brief require each participants’ design to have a surface mounted design, a visual icon, and at the same time promote cycling in New York.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.animasport.org/outdoor-bike-storage-racks/bike-storage-racks-open-thread-design/" rel="attachment wp-att-42"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42" alt="Bike Storage Racks Open Thread Design" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bike-Storage-Racks-Open-Thread-Design.jpg" width="468" height="322" /></a> <a href="http://www.animasport.org/outdoor-bike-storage-racks/bike-storage-racks-lang-and-dobbs/" rel="attachment wp-att-41"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-41" alt="Bike Storage Racks Lang and Dobbs" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bike-Storage-Racks-Lang-and-Dobbs.jpg" width="468" height="324" /></a> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-43" alt="Bike Storage Racks Federico Otero" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bike-Storage-Racks-Federico-Otero.jpg" width="468" height="323" /> <a href="http://www.animasport.org/outdoor-bike-storage-racks/bike-storage-racks-miller-ruggiero/" rel="attachment wp-att-44"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-44" alt="Bike Storage Racks Miller Ruggiero" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Bike-Storage-Racks-Miller-Ruggiero.jpg" width="468" height="323" /></a></p>
<p>A giant comb-shaped bike racks is also installed in the city of Roanoke from designer Knowhow Shop LA</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48" alt="Giant Comb Outdoor Bike Storage Racks" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Giant-Comb-Outdoor-Bike-Storage-Racks.jpg" width="576" height="850" /></p>
<p>Another design comes from <a href="http://www.davidbyrne.com/">David Byrne</a>, an installation artist, author, blogger, recording executive, photographer, film director and PowerPoint enthusiast. But in certain New York neighborhoods he may be known as cyclist enthusiasts. On a competition held by <a href="http://http//www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/home/home.shtml">Department of Transportation</a>, he sent some of his doodle for the city’s new bike racks. They were simple shapes to define different neighborhoods around the city: a dollar sign for Wall Street; an electric guitar for Williamsburg, Brooklyn; a car — “The Jersey” — for the area near the Lincoln Tunnel.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-49" alt="David Byrne Bike Racks Doodle" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/David-Byrne-Bike-Racks-Doodle.jpg" width="500" height="600" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-50" alt="David Byrne and His Bike Racks" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/David-Byrne-and-His-Bike-Racks.jpg" width="569" height="221" /></p>
<p>So, that&#8217;s some of public bike storage racks designs we can cover. Any updates about bike racks we&#8217;ll get covered in the future posts.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Portable outdoor grill is something people need when they want to do outdoor parties in mobile fashion. Say it on the beach, the desert, or down in the camping forest. In a quick glance, features which any users want in their portable outdoor grill are fold-up stand that collapse down to a convenient pack-away size. With a luggage-sized portable grill, people can move them just as easy as taking a holiday trip.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27" alt="Coleman Portable Outdoor Grill Easy to Set" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Coleman-Portable-Outdoor-Grill-Easy-to-Set.jpg" width="600" height="783" /></p>
<h2>Coleman RoadTrip Portable Grill Features</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28" alt="Grilling Outdoor with Coleman Portable Outdoor Grill" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Grilling-Outdoor-with-Coleman-Portable-Outdoor-Grill.jpg" width="300" height="231" />The RoadTrip name that emblems this portable outdoor grill is a smart way to identify that it’s the most suitable utility for mobile outdoor grilling. With propane fueled power, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009V1BDA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0009V1BDA&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=animasport-20">Coleman 9949-750 Road Trip Grill LXE</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=animasport-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0009V1BDA" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> has an <b>adjustable cooking power</b> up to 10,000 BTU on each burner. This means you can set a meat barbeque level from “medium-rare” to “well-done”. Just like at home.</p>
<p>We know that barbeques often left greasy and nasty waste, so with 285 square inches cooking space, the <b>best outdoor grill</b> features porcelain-coated cast-iron grates for great durability and easy cleaning. Very helpful.</p>
<p>No need to look for matches because it’s already equipped with InstaStart electronic ignition which makes grilling starts quickly within seconds. Propane gas usage is also monitored smartly using PerfectFlow control system, so with pressure regulation, a consistent output of burning will be easily achieved.</p>
<h2>Customer Comments on Coleman Portable Outdoor Grill</h2>
<p><i>“Cooks very well and is EASY to clean. ”<br />
</i>James le Bon</p>
<p><i>“The grill cooks very hot”<br />
</i>Richard Everton</p>
<p><i>“This is a very well designed grill! ”<br />
</i>Paul Gestion</p>
<h2>Coleman RoadTrip Portable Grill Performance</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-29" alt="Coleman Portable Outdoor Grill" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Coleman-Portable-Outdoor-Grill.jpg" width="200" height="256" />Simple assembling process. It’s what a customer says when it opened for the first time out from its box. Put the wheels on, attach the handle and it’s a fully assembled portable grill. 15 minutes is all it takes to make it from box to complete.</p>
<p>On a test run by a customer, Robert, he chose a 28-day aged NY stip steak and a 2,5” barrel cut fillet. This portable outdoor grill preheated for 5 minutes with the lid open on medium, wiped one side of the grill with vegetable oil and the other side with Pan for grilling. There were no difference between the two, so he use Pam. Within minutes, the grill gets really hot. Good performance.</p>
<p>Next good thing about this portable grill is that it cooled down very quickly. By soaking the two porcelain coated cast iron grills in soapy hot water over night, the next morning it’s awesomely easy to clean with only soapy wet sponge and dry the whole set with a dry towel.</p>
<p>The only downturn of this coleman outdoor grill is that it can’t cook with closed lid. Another thing is on the older version which only come with one grill, one griddle and forced to buy an additional grill surface.</p>
<h2>How to Use Coleman RoadTrip Portable Outdoor Grill</h2>
<p>As every equipments should be used in a certain manner, so does this coleman outdoor grill. Of course there are standard instruction come with the package, but every user should has their own experience about how they use the grill. So, these are tips shared by a customer.</p>
<ol>
<li>The grill has the “low” to “high” settings. Please take note that high settings ONLY for burner attachment or griddle attachment. Why? Because the high setting will deliver a 20,000 BTU heat on the grill surface, it may melt the handles, or exactly ruining food with too much heat. Such heat doesn’t evenly compared with a three inch clearance cover and burners less than an inch away form the food. AVOID THE HIGH TEMPERATURE SETTINGS</li>
<li>Preheating the grill will make this coleman portable outdoor grill lasts longer. Fire up, set to “MED” heat, close the lid and let it heated for 10 minutes. The grates will properly heated as well as everything else.</li>
<li>Like a normal gas grill, the cover should be closed so the heat will convected inside the grate, so food will cook faster even with medium settings.</li>
<li>Don’t user foil for drip pan cleaning. As the drip pan can be easily cleaned, foil isn’t necessarily required at all. There’s also a chance of flair up and fire problems, if the foil is wrinkled and don’t have proper draining of the grease.</li>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15" alt="Veggie Dogs for Dinner" src="http://www.animasport.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Veggie-Dogs-for-Dinner.jpg" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p><strong>Propane powered grill</strong> is the most typical grill on the market. It uses propane or natural gas as the fuel source, grilling the food directly or heating grilling elements which radiates the heat to cook food above. Gas grills are available in sizes ranging from small, single steak grills up to large, industrial sized restaurant grills which are able to cook enough meat to feed a hundred or more people.</p>
<p><strong>Charcoal grills</strong> use either charcoal briquettes or all-natural lump charcoal as their fuel source. The charcoal, when burned, will transform into embers radiating the heat necessary to cook food. Grilling with charcoal is a contention itself among grilling enthusiasts, because the selection of briquettes determine the burn rate, heat creation, and quality of grilling. It’s an art, by the way.</p>
<p>A <strong>hybrid grill</strong> is a grill used for outdoor cooking with charcoal and natural gas or liquid propane and can cook in the same manner as a traditional outdoor gas grill. The manufacturers claim that it combines the convenience of an outdoor gas grill with the flavor and cooking techniques of a charcoal and wood grill.</p>
<p>In addition to providing the cooking heat, the gas burners in a hybrid grill can be used to quickly start a charcoal/wood fire or to extend the length of a charcoal/wood cooking session.</p>
<h2>So, What’s Next?</h2>
<p>Fold up your sleeves, put a table, bench and grill on your backyard, shop for meat and raw food, invite your families, friends or colleagues, and finally put your gadgets away. It helps you connect and socialize in the real world.</p>
