Abstract: A stable cable wire is disclosed. The stable cable wire comprises a wire and at least one loop formed within the wire. In one embodiment, the wire is a stranded wire that includes a plurality of wires wound up together during a stranding process. Prior to the stranding process, at least one of the plurality of wires is looped with one or more loops during a looping process. After the looping process, the plurality of wires are stranded together and coiled upon a wire spool to create the stable cable wire.

Abstract: A stable cable system and method are disclosed. The stable cable system comprises at least two stakes, at least one cable, wherein the at least one cable is coupled to the at least two stakes, wherein the at least one cable has at least one loop and at least one connector, wherein the at least one connector is inserted through the at least one loop and around an object.

Abstract: A tree tie and method of use is disclosed. The tree tie comprises a member. The tie member including a first end portion; a first tab coupled to the first end portion; a middle portion and one end of a middle portion coupled to the first tab. The tie member also includes an opposite end of the middle portion coupled to a second tab, a second end portion coupled to the second tab and a head portion coupled to the second end portion. The tree tie including a flexible hose surrounding the middle portion of the first member and being substantially held in place by the first and second tabs. Only flexible hose contacts the tree when the first member surrounds the tree.

Abstract: A practice baseball having a circumference in the range of approximately 65% to 90% of the circumference of an official league baseball and having a weight in the range of approximately 70% to 85% of the weight of an official baseball as required for use in league games by Rule 1.09 of the Official Baseball Rules. Use of the smaller and lighter practice baseball for batting practice should improve the batting skills of a player due to the greater difficulty of hitting the smaller practice baseball. The practice baseball has the same durability and resiliency as an official baseball because it is constructed in a similar manner. The resiliency of the practice baseball is achieved by wrapping the core of the baseball with materials of a tension sufficient to provide a proper coefficient of restitution, one that is similar to the coefficient of restitution of an official baseball.
