text: Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2017 Flexing the Frame: TMT Framing and the Adoption of Non-Incremental Innovations in Incumbent Firms Ryan Raffaelli, Mary Ann Glynn and Michael Tushman Why do incumbent firms so frequently reject non-incremental innovations? One reason is due to the firm's top management team's (TMT) lack of frame flexibility, i.e., an inability to expand the organization's categorical boundaries so as to encompass a wider range of emotionally resonate capabilities in the context of innovative change. For incumbent firms, we argue that the way the TMT cognitively thinks about, and emotionally frames, non-incremental innovation and organizational capabilities drives innovation adoption. We show that frame flexibility is both cognitive, through claimed beliefs and understandings, and emotional, through claimed appeals to feelings and aspirations. First, we reexamine an assumption that cognitive frames are static and suggest how they evolve to become flexible—via shifts in perceived categorical hierarchies and in the ability to reconcile incompatible organizational capabilities. Second, we theorize and attend to the role of emotional frames in innovation adoption. Thus, we advance a model that articulates how cognitive and emotional framing affects the likelihood of non-incremental innovation adoption and, over time, the breadth of the organization's innovation practices. We delineate these processes, as well as the internal and external contingencies that influence them and offer directions for future research.

Use Instead of Anti-acids
Our doctor prescribed anti-acids for my husbands acid reflux. I prescribed apple cider vinegar. I told him to give me one week before he filled the prescription. It not only helped with his reflux (he never filled the 'script', it also helped his discoid lupus by balancing his stomach acids.

I take 2 of these and 3 of 575mg. Glucomannan -- 30 minutes before meals. I have noticed that I am eating less food -- so welcome as I am on Prednisone which makes me HUNGARY all of the time -- the Glucomannan and the apple cider vinegar have given me a bit of an edge over the prednisone side effects and i'm losing some weight! I also don't crave sweets as much as I did before taking this product. Both of these products are working for me and I feel it is well worth considering.

Gather 'round, Seattleites! I'm teaching a cocktail class July 20 & 21 -- same class twice -- at the effervescent and ebullient Pantry at Delancey, where the drinks are delicious, the snacks are snacktastic, and the staff is stellar.
I'm coining a new term for the class, too: "Locatails," meaning drinks made with local spirits and liqueurs and mixers. It is a wonderful thing (if a bit of a silly term) and reminds us to celebrate the local distillery explosion, not to mention all the top local spirits and new local spirits I've covered recently for Seattle mag.
In this cocktail class, we'll make four cocktails that utilize a host of Seattle area spirits and liqueurs, including ones created with love by Sound Spirits, Side Track Distillery, Woodinville Whiskey Company, Bainbridge Organic Distillery, and Pacific Distillery, and also include other local products such as Deluxe Foods Cocktail Syrup. The four drinks include two classics, the Oriental and the Alexander, and two newer models, the Rebecca and the Earl of 15th Avenue. We'll also talk about the distilleries involved and what makes each stand out from the crowd, some spirited histories that translate into smashing cocktail talk, and a variety of home-bartending skills. Sign up today!
7/20-7/21. 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. $70. Pantry at Delancey. 1417 NW 70th St., 206.321.5620; thepantryatdelancey.com

I suppose you could find a significant amount of people who would say that no-fault divorce harms marriage's sanctity, but I think you'd be hard pressed to get the majority of those people to say that divorce should be illegal...if that were the case then some kind of legislation would be in the works, but as it stands, a good number of divorces happen because they don't want to be married anymore. so I don't think people would be really all that welcoming of a divorce bill.
and as for inventing a new right: wouldn't getting a divorce on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences" be considered inventing a new right in marriage? or really any other grounds of divorce apart from the ones outlined by Christ?
and I would speak a little more carefully when saying that homosexuals aren't involved in romantic relationships. I don't really think you have much of a leg to stand on when saying that. not to mention its pretty hurtful to them, even if you didn't mean it to be.
This is horrifying. It should be horrifying to us anytime human beings kill one another, regardless of motivation, but this particular motivation just twists my guts particularly tight.
I hope my guts twist themselves into awful knots anytime I hear of human being killing one another. Desensitization is a terrible thing. Agh.
this is kinda "hitlerish"
No No! I meant "government recognized romantic relationship" is not what marriage is. I never meant any one was or wasn't in a romantic relationship.
"and as for inventing a new right: wouldn't getting a divorce on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences" be considered inventing a new right in marriage?"
YES. No-fault divorce was a terrible idea. I see why they thought to introduce it, but in retrospect it has hurt marriage severly, and paved the way for our modern culture's idea that marriage is about romance, and not about a love-commitment as the foundation for forming a family. The commitment-part and the making-babies-part are both important to why marriages exist.
Under this bill, not only can you go to jail and sentenced to death for being gay, but if you know of someone who's gay and don't turn them in - you can go to jail for "supporting" a gay person. To top it off, the regime that is backing this "agenda" is being supported via money from the US Government and through religious leaders that have been seeking financial help from churches here in the US - Saddleback Church, home of The Purpose Driven Life, has hosted the pastor that is pushing this law through and yet Rick Warren feels its not his place to speak out against the policy

Sandy • Streamers poured onto the field, while beating drums and the sound of 20,000 singing soccer fans filled the air as Real Salt Lake took the field at Rio Tinto Stadium for the first time this season.
But when Alvaro Saborio buried an equalizing goal in the 80th minute, the cheers were only a collective sigh from a sellout crowd.
Inside the team's locker room after the game, it was even quieter.
"It's absolutely silent," coach Jason Kreis said. "You would have thought we just lost three-nothing. Our guys want more. They expect more, and I think that's a good thing."
Real Salt Lake walked away with a single point after earning a 1-1 draw with Colorado in the first leg of the Rocky Mountain Cup, a matchup Salt Lake has dominated over the past six years.
RSL controlled possession and seemed to be on the doorstep of a goal for much of the first half, but it was Colorado that struck first.
Rapids rookie Deshorn Brown scored his first career goal, giving his team a 1-0 lead at the half. RSL center back Chris Schuler's giveaway in front of the RSL goal gave Brown a chance from the right side, and the forward buried it.
"It was kind of a freak thing," said RSL captain Kyle Beckerman. "We were really dominating, getting chance after chance, and the next thing you know we were losing."
Beckerman and forward Robbie Findley provided RSL's most exciting opportunities, most of which came during the first 45 minutes of play.
Beckerman sent a blast from outside the box that was tipped away by Colorado keeper Matt Pickens in the game's third minute. On the ensuing corner kick, RSL defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe collided with Pickens, breaking his left forearm.
"It's something that's very sad," an apologetic Watson-Siriboe said after the match. "You never want to see a player hurt another player."
Colorado was forced to use backup keeper Clint Irwin, the team's third goalie of the young season. RSL had chances to test the backup in the first half but couldn't get a shot on frame.
Findley did well to get behind Colorado's defensive four, but his touch failed him in his first action back at Rio Tinto Stadium.
In the 18th minute, Findley chipped a chance in front of the goal well over the crossbar and into the stands. A short time later, Beckerman floated a perfect pass to Findley but he could not settle it on his first touch.
"I've just got to do better on my end," he said. "My teammates delivered the ball. Just gotta be more focused on my part."
As RSL looked for an equalizer late, it was reserve forward Joao Plata who again provided a spark for Salt Lake. The Ecuadorian, who came off the bench against San Jose and found Saborio for the team's first goal of the season, put a ball on Saborio's feet, and the Costa Rican came through with his third goal of the season.
"Nobody held their heads," Beckerman said. "We figured if we keep dominating this game we're going to get a goal. We just wish we would have gotten one maybe a little earlier. Maybe it would have helped us get a second one."
RSL opened things up in the game's final seconds, as it searched for three points at home. Goalkeeper Nick Rimando, who was honored before the match for his 100 career shutouts, held off a flurry of chances to preserve the draw.
"Credit to Nick Rimando for saving us a point there," Kreis said.

The Canisius women's basketball team shot a season-low 30.5 percent from the floor while St. Bonaventure shot 52.2 percent, including 66.7 percent in the second half, as the Golden Griffins lost 61-47 at the Koessler Athletic Center on Wednesday night. Canisius drops to 3-4 on the season.
Senior Jamie Ruttle scored 10 points and a season-high eight rebounds while fellow senior post player Jen Lennox had 10 points and six rebounds in 18 minutes off the Canisius bench. Sophomore Tiahana Mills was credited with six assists, her fifth game this season with six or more assists.
To go along with the season-low of 30.5 percent from the field for the Griffs were season lows of 5-for-20 from behind the arc and 37.5 percent at the free-throw line.
"Early in the game I thought that we got good looks, and when they didn't go it we got deflated. We started pressing and couldn't make anything, which affected our defense," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "I'm not sure if we're gritty enough to withstand that right now. I think we have a really good basketball team, but we haven't developed that maturity yet."
Both teams struggled offensively to start the contest, with Ruttle splitting two free throws to make it 9-8 just over seven minutes into the game. St. Bonaventure (7-3) extended its lead to 17-10 but the Griffs came back with five straight points, getting a layup from sophomore Emily Weber and a three-point play from Ruttle, to make it a two-point game. Ruttle had eight of her 10 points in the first half as she was able to establish position and finish around the basket.
A 3-pointer from Lennox made it 22-18 in favor of St. Bonaventure with 6:04 left, and that would be the last points of the half for the Griffs. Canisius missed its final nine shots of the half as the Bonnies took a 10-point lead into the locker room.
The teams traded baskets to start the half but the Bonnies broke the game open with a nine-point run to take a 39-20 lead. Canisius would score two points over a 12-minute stretch that covered both halves. The shots started falling for Canisius midway through the half, but the deficit proved to be too much.
Katie Healy led all players with 19 points, 17 rebounds, five assists and six blocks. Gabrielle Richmond added 16 points in 22 minutes. The Bonnies shot 52.2 percent from the floor and had 34 points in the paint to overcome 18 turnovers.
Canisius plays its final non-conference game of the regular season on Saturday, when the Golden Griffins host Bryant University. Game time is set for 2 p.m. in the KAC.
Notes: Canisius had 14 assists on 18 made baskets and now has an assist on 75.2 percent of its made field goals… Lennox scored in double figures for the first time this season and is the eighth Golden Griffin to score 10 or more points in 2013-14… Canisius shot 6-for-16 from the free-throw stripe, its worst game at the free-throw line when attempting 10 or more free throws since going 5-for-16 against Fairfield on Feb. 16, 2001… During the three-game losing streak, Canisius is allowing 35.3 points per game in the paint while in its three wins, Canisius allowed 24.7 points per game in the paint… Sophomore Crystal Porter did not dress due to an ankle injury suffered in the Nov. 27 game at Buffalo, and is listed as day-to-day.

I like to do a few meet and greets in a neutral place with the potential addition to the family to see how they get along before bringing the new dog home.
It's no guarantee that the dogs will be best buddies at home, but it can be a good indicator of general personality match.

Hi Hadley and welcome!
It sounds like you and your boyfriend could make a lucky GSD very happy. Have a look at the sticky about how to distinguish a reputable rescue from others, in the general rescue forum. A reputable rescue will consider both your needs and the needs of the dogs-giving you a lot of confidence in the whole process.
Lucia gave you excellent advice: be completely honest and wait until you find your match. It took 4 months from our adoption application to picking up our first wonderful GSD. Unlike some other people, we were not rejected out of hand for not having a fenced yard. Indeed, we matched ideally with a shy dog who was deemed not a run-away risk. Also, think about your future: do you plan to have kids? That can change the whole view of what dog is best for you.
More experienced people can help you better than I can. I just want to second your idea of adopting an adult.
Good luck,
Mary Jane
|I think it's wise not to get a puppy (I've got a puppy now and oy). I really think if you could find a dog that is 2-3 years old it would be great for you. It's mature enough to be able to do any activity you want without worrying about stress on growing joints and should be a bit more settled in the house.

Be prepared to explain in detail your plan for exercise and potty time that accounts for not having a fenced yard. I have happily adopted out dogs to people living in apartments and condos. But I always looked for people who were aware of what a big responsibility it would be to deal responsibly with a big dog when they didn't have a yard. Be proactive with this issue! It will pay off in the long run.
Good luck! How exciting!

to look for in order to get the best personality match possible
Yes, it is difficult to recognize that or other behavior, and sometimes an agressive strongly self-motivated dog could be easier managed than sad, depressed and seemingly calm dog without knowing his history. There are no untrainable dogs, any dog could be retrained by a kind, patient, non-selfish and heeding to other professionals person. Think about not a possible suitability between you and your future companion, but about training yourself certain things. For instance: it is recommended not to raise your woice in the first two-three months in order to wait if anything negative pops out itself without stimulation for it to happen. Never at home, never in the street, neither when you are happy, nor when you are angry. Don't say it is easy. But, finally you would benefit from changing your intonations yourself with other people tremendously. There are recommendations to start shaking hands with everyone you know just for the sake of showing your dog a friendly friendly physical contact. Recommendations, recommendations, recommendations on dozens and dozens of things how to build a bridge between you and your dog you are so keen to fall in love with. Please, don't leave it to fate and its chances, tell yourself "I'm successful" and you will be, there is a psychological aspect to any dog training. But... there is always this "but". These cases are very rare, but they happen, I just said that 'there are no untrainable dogs', but 1% of risk from 100 cases does exist. Some dogs were so badly trated from the very start that they become untrainable. It is simply more humane to take your dog to the vet and euthanize him, than throw back into the shelter to his misery. Think about it and prey The Saviour inside yourself.
Well, I think I would have eventually figured out this was you, LOL!
It's not your phone - it's the board. The software does not seem to be compatible with certain devices. I'm not sure when that issue is going to be addressed.
But back to adopting a GSD! I think you guys will make great owners! No reason a GSD can't be happy in a condo as long as they get plenty of exercise and stimulation, and it seems you have that covered.
My advice would be: Be patient! It might be a while before you find a good match, but that special GSD is out there for you guys if you are willing to wait.
Also, I don't know how many rescues there are in your area, but shop around until you find a rescue that you are comfortable with. Rescues will range from adopting anything out to anybody to being checked and judged and referenced to the nth degree. Some rescues will have very strict non-negotiable rules (like adopting ONLY to home-owners with a fenced-in yard), to more common sense organisations that look at each application on a case-by-case basis.
Good luck in your search!
This is Hadley. I logged onto my computer and off of my phone. I have no idea why my phone freaked out but this is my new account! Thank you for letting me reset it!
Hi hadley - something is off with your board registration - I can't access your profile and you are showing up as a guest - this sometimes happens to new members, it is an issue with the board software.
Did you register using a mobile device? Can you try signing up from a regular computer? Normally we don't allow two sign-ins for the same person, but this case is different. If you respond here with the new sign-in, let me know it is you.
As for adopting a rescue - good rescues will make the match for you. Just be honest with what you are looking for and what your GSD experience is, and they'll do the rest.
Advice on adopting a sheltered GSD?? (moved to gen rescue)
Hi! I am brand new to this site so I am so sorry if this is in the wrong place but we are looking for some help!
My boyfriend and I have been together for three years now and are looking to get our first dog together. We have actually both grown up with shepherds, my dad worked with them in law enforcement and his as family pets so we know a lot about the breed already. Even though we do have experience, we still would love any advice anyone can give us. We live in Colorado and are very active, outdoor students so running is a daily activity. My parents have acres where we can take our future dog to run on but we are looking to get a sheltered dog and we want to make sure that our dogs can interact. Can a sheltered dog be fine with playing with new dogs? We aren't getting a new puppy, we are looking for a dog around 10 months-3 years from a purebred rescue here in town. We do live in a condominium not a house so we have no yard. Anything that anyone can tell us about what to look for in order to get the best personality match possible would be amazing! Anything we should avoid besides the common health issues associated with GSD's? We are so excited for our little family to grow! Thanks guys!

I'm looking to get an SLR Camera and the one thing I need is for it to have a multiple shot function (when you hold your finger on the button and it takes 10 or so every second) as I will be taking sports shots (rugby, mountain biking & golf) and think it will be an ideal way of ensuring I get the crucial photo!
Is there a specific name for this function I can search for? Also is there some specification I need to be more aware of than just looking for this function if these are the types of shots I am taking?

I definitely would have had a difficult time learning the same material in a classroom environment. I have found that it is actually harder to stay focused in the classroom setting! More often than not, the in–class delivery tends do go off topic and I occasionally feel that my time could have been better spent taking these classes through Career WebSchool.
The progressive learning format of the Career WebSchool course made sure that I fully understood the subject and topics before moving on. This gave me confidence that I was not only learning the new material, but also retaining it. …I particularly liked that I was able to refresh my knowledge by retaking completed reviews and test. This allowed me to narrow down the subject matter that I needed additional work on. I went back and re–took all the reviews and tests a few days before my end of course exam and felt very good about all the subject matter that I had learned.Alana P.

I put money into this game twice. The first time, it took about 36 hours after the payment cleared for me to receive them (after throwing a fit). The second time, I submitted the information for my payment 3 times to get my coins. Hours later and 46 hours after my payment cleared, I filed a dispute on paypal and they banned me over it.
If you plan on putting money into a game, this isn't the game to do so!! There is absolutely no support on the game and barely any on the forum either. You'd be better to find another game!!

Doha, QATAR – Qatar Airways, the Official Airline of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2013, congratulates Richard Gasquet from France on winning this year's men's tennis tournament in the Qatari capital Doha.
His Excellency Deputy Prime Minister of Qatar, Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah (third left) congratulates Richard Gasquet of France on his championship win at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2013 in Doha.
Gasquet lost the first set to Russia's Nikolay Davydenko 3-6, but in an exciting comeback rallied to win the following two sets 7-6, 6-3 in front a packed crowd at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.
Gasquet's win makes it the second year in a row that a Frenchman has won the championship, with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga taking home the title in 2012.
Qatar Airways was proud to be the Official Airline of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2013, now in its 21st year. The week-long event is held annually and brings top tier men's tennis players from around the world to Qatar for the season-opening tournament.
Other top-seeded players participating in this year's event included last year's semi-finalist, Gael Monfils from France and Spain's David Ferrer, who is currently ranked 5th in the ATP rankings.

Gasquet, currently ranked number 10 worldwide, holds eight career titles in men's singles tennis and two in doubles. Gasquet partnered with Julien Benneteau to win Bronze in the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said that the airline was proud to once again be the Official Airline of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2013.
"On behalf of Qatar Airways, I would like to congratulate Richard Gasquet on his great win here in what was a match I fully enjoyed full of energy and excitement," said Al Baker.
"It is a wonderful start to his 2013 season, and we wish him the very best for rest of the year. We were very pleased to host all the talented players on the men's international tennis circuit here in Doha and we look forward to seeing them again next year. Qatar Airways has made sport one of our key pillars and strategy – and are excited to be involved in a number of upcoming sports activities and events."
One of the world's fastest growing airlines, Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 15 years of operations, currently flying a modern fleet of 116 aircraft to 123 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and The Americas with the aggressive expansion set to continue during 2013.
Over the next few weeks and months, Qatar Airways will launch flights to a diverse portfolio of new routes, including Gassim, Saudi Arabia (January 7); Najaf, Iraq (January 23); Phnom Penh, Cambodia (February 20); Chengdu, China (March 19); Chicago, USA (April 10); and Salalah, Oman (May 22).
Qatar Airways currently has orders worth over US$50 billion for more than 250 aircraft, including Boeing 787s, 777s, Airbus A350s, A380s and A320 Family of aircraft. In addition to winning Skytrax's prestigious Airline of the Year 2011 and 2012, Qatar Airways was named Best Airline in the Middle East for the seventh year in a row, and its Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport was named Best Premium Service Airport for the second consecutive year in 2012. Skytrax is the only global independent passenger survey monitoring airline standards and is considered the ultimate benchmark for excellence in the airline industry. In October 2012, Qatar Airways became the first of the major Gulf carriers to officially announce plans to join a global alliance having been invited into the oneworld group.

Hello Lucy,
I'm a new teacher with about two months of experience teaching in South Korea, and while some technical aspects of my job are difficult I'm sure I'll be able to deal with them in time.
What I'm having a real hard time wrapping my head around is classroom management for difficult (disruptive, easily distracted, resentful, and often disrespectful) children. In case you're not familiar, children in South Korea have one of the most rigorous schooling schedules I've ever heard of. Public school is actually rather light, only about 4-5 hours a day, but that's only half the problem. What sucks the life out of these children and turns so many of them into difficult to manage nightmares is the academies. An academy is an after school program that typically lasts for an hour or more, and while there are children that don't go to any academies, they are the exception to the rule. From paying attention to the diaries I've recovered, I've found that some of my children go to as many as 4-5 academies a day. Each of them assign homework. Whenever I ask my children what they were doing on the weekend, most of them tell me that they spent the weekend studying, and barely had any time to themselves at all. Some students manage to stand the pressure and thrive, but many others become embittered with the expectations heaped on their shoulders. I can't blame them at all.
However, not blaming them doesn't make dealing with them any easier. I don't have much freedom with my schedule or my curriculum when teaching at my current academy. My syllabus is set by the Korean English teachers. Add that to the fact that my lessons can and have been changed at the last minute (or the few memorable times I only found out my schedule from the students when I walked in the door) and planning a particularly interesting lesson doesn't seem impossible so much as futile. My success as an instructor relies almost entirely on my personality and on the fly creativity, both of which are straining to the breaking points with children who curse you, complain about the simplest of tasks (such as writing down words on the board and then repeating them), and (on occasion) feel like discipline is just one big game of chicken that they can win. While before I was determined to figure this out on my own, it took an encounter with one of my students who can easily qualify for all three qualities of misbehavior.
Jessica (the English name she goes by) frequently brings and attempts to use her cellphone in the classroom despite it being taken away multiple times. I have caught her flipping me off and using the Korea equivalent on me and other students in class several times, and no attempt at discipline I have tried to use has ever curbed her behavior. So earlier today (or I suppose yesterday) in class, she began making unarticulated whining noises while I gave classwork. Remembering too many failed attempts to control this student, I instinctively did something I knew I shouldn't have the second it was over: I mocked her, imitating the tone of her whine as I said "My name is Jessica and I can't do anything." It worked, and it stopped her actively disrupting the class, but I recognized the lowered head and shaking shoulders as crying signals almost immediately. She then tried to make up an excuse about her suddenly feeling ill and left the class. I let her go.
Jessica is just one of the students I have to deal with that presents a real problem for me, and honestly she isn't the worst. Considering my teaching situation, do you have any advice for helping me control students like Jessica, or any tips on how I can better deal with my own personal stress in these situations?

Balanced Attack Rallies Visiting Green Bay Past South Dakota
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
VERMILLION, S.D. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Despite falling behind 21-7 against a hot shooting South Dakota team, visiting Green Bay (6-3) put five players in double figures and rallied past the host Coyotes for an 89-85 victory on Saturday night in non-conference men's basketball action at the DakotaDome.
Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) totaled 23 points, six rebounds and five assists, and senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) added 17 points, eight rebounds, five blocks and four assists.
South Dakota, coming off a close 64-62 loss at Kansas State, made nine of its first 14 shots and opened up a 21-7 lead at the 11:45 mark of the first half. Getting 10 points each from Brown and Sykes, Green Bay responded to close to within seven points at halftime (44-37).
Green Bay scored the first seven points coming out of the locker room to tie the game at 44-44, and with 14:30 remaining sophomore Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) gave the visitors their first lead (53-52) with a three-pointer. Love's three started a 10-0 run that sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) capped with a tip-in for a 60-52 lead with 11:06 to play.
Fouse had three putback baskets in the second half and finished the game with 11 points, 14 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) had nine of his 15 points in the second half, and Love was the fifth Phoenix player in double figures with 11 points.
The Phoenix lead reached as many as 11 in the second half, but South Dakota hung around due to a 17-of-19 performance at the free-throw line.
Green Bay led by three with 2:51 to play, when freshman Kenneth Lowe (Little Chute, Wis.) gathered an offensive rebound and converted a three-point play for a six-point lead. The Phoenix kept the margin at three or more the rest of the way.
With five players with five-plus rebounds, Green Bay held a 42-38 edge in rebounding. The Phoenix also had 16 assists and only nine turnovers in the win.
Green Bay returns home for a five-game homestand, beginning with a contest on Tuesday at the Resch Center when Tennessee Tech visits for a 7 p.m. tip.

But thanks to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), you can find many of those records in one place: the Family History library (FHL) in Salt Lake City.
The FHL houses the world's largest collection of genealogical materials. Since 1938, LDS staff have traveled the globe to gather and microfilm millions of records about people of all faiths. Today, the FHL collection — which anyone can access for free — includes birth, death and marriage records; census schedules; military files; church registers; cemetery transcriptions; immigration lists; and many other types of records from all over the United States, Canada and more than 110 other countries.

Arsène Wenger says it's no coincidence that a core of English players have emerged at Arsenal.
There are now five England internationals in the Frenchman's squad after Carl Jenkinson made his debut for the Three Lions in Sweden earlier this month. Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kieran Gibbs have also been capped.
With the likes of Emmanuel Frimpong and Nico Yennaris also coming through the ranks at Emirates Stadium, Wenger has a wealth of homegrown talent at his disposal. He is not surprised.
"It is… not by coincidence, it is down to the work that we have done that we have more good English players," said Wenger.
"We look first at quality. If the quality is local, it is of course even better because it gives you more guarantee of stability because the players who are English who play for Arsenal are more likely to stay for a longer term than foreign players.
"But we look first at quality, that is the most important thing."
Wilshere is at the vanguard of a new generation of English talent and Wenger hopes he will commit his long-term future to Arsenal.
"He has always been very committed to this club and I hope he will show that," said the manager. "There is only one way to show it and that is to commit your long-term future to the Club.
"He has two-and-a-half years left - that's quite a long time. We have built a team [where] we have a lot of young English players, or British players, like Gibbs, Chamberlain, Wilshere. We still have the case of Walcott, Aaron Ramsey. You want them all on long-term contracts."

Hey guys,
I spent most of my weekend repainting my MS bucket. I know it still needs a lot of work, but I just wanted to get some feedback. Please keep in mind this is my first time using an airbrush. I used the rouge studios paint list with the exception of the cheeks, for that I just used a little spruce green. I also included some shots of my gauntlets and costume. Please constructive criticism only.


text: I'm beginning to worry about whether I spin clockwise or counterclockwise. Initially I was pretty certain I was turning counterclockwise, as forward crossovers were much easier that way. But backward crossovers are easier clockwise, and my left foot is better at back one foot glides (and was also with forward one foot glides). Someone said your landing foot should be the best one at back one foot glides, but if I rotate counterclockwise that will be my right foot. Two foot turns (fwd to bwd) were easier counterclockwise but now, when I slide one foot forward more in the turn, the clockwise ones are "prettier". Likewise, although forward crossovers were easier counterclockwise, forward progressives seem easier clockwise (although I'm never sure if this is because I can't really do crossovers clockwise and have to do progressives instead -- but aren't progressives supposed to be harder than crossovers?). I spin on two feet in the counterclockwise direction. But once I randomly tried spinning clockwise and, although the spin was shorter, it seemed "freer" somehow. But I'm not sure if that is because my counterclockwise spins are more powerful so I might be subconsciously digging in my blades due to fear. On my spinner at home I rotate pretty much equally well both ways for one foot/backspins. The few waltz jumps I've attempted (only for fun as I haven't actually learnt them yet) have all been counterclockwise and jumping certainly seems easier that way. Sometimes I randomly do off-ice jumps too, which rotate better counterclockwise. But the landings are better on the left foot. So now I'm confused. Now I'm so confused. Is this normal? Does a stronger left foot on forward glides indicate clockwise or counterclockwise rotation? Thanks!

Degree or Program Details
Northern Michigan University offers a pre-chiropractic program that follows the criteria established for admission to colleges of chiropractic whose programs are in compliance with the standards, rules and guidelines of the Council on Chiropractic Education. Normally, students must have completed at least 90 semester hours, with a cumulative grade point average of 2.50. Courses should be selected with the help of the pre-chiropractic adviser located in the Physics Department.
Pre-chiropractic students will not be taking all the courses listed.
For department information or additional degree requirements, click here
|PY 100 H, L or S Introductory Psychology
|PH 220 Introductory Physics I (5 cr.)
|PE 315 Physiology of Exercise (4 cr.) or
|PE 317 Anatomical Kinesiology (2 cr.) or
|PE 417 Biomechanics (2 cr.)
Individual state licensing boards may require additional education prior to entering a chiropractic college. Since entry requirements vary by state as well as by college, it is imperative that students interested in the pre-chiropractic program interact with the advisor in the Physics Department early in their education and continue to do so throughout their academic career at NMU.

You know MMi, i do realize that this is an idevice forum, but you need to be a bit less biased. Apple ha ripped off many products like countless jailbreak tweaks and the notification center from android. I think after iOS 5, it's androids turn to rip apple off

There were several Webley revolvers chambered for the .450 Revolver round. It's an old blackpowder round, hasn't been around for a long time.
Would need to see a photo for best identification. Some old Royal Irish Constabulary Webleys were sold in .450, also some very cheap copies were made, both in Europe and the U.S. Maybe some H&R revolvers were made in the caliber, all under the name of "Bulldog" or British Bulldog."
Is your gun indeed made by Webley?
Either way, the gun, in good condition, could be made into a shooter if carefully done. Ammunition would have to be fabricated, probably using .45 S&W brass, which is available again for Cowboy Action shooting. Also, black powder only should be used to maintain safe pressures.
Would like to see a photo.
Bob Wright
Sorry, as to your last question of value~again need definite identification. Could be $100 for a copy, $300~$450 fro a good Webley.

Re: Undo/Redo
Since I've found it frustrating and even striking that Mathematica, although so well-developed, offers only one level of Undo (Ctrl+Z) instead of multiple steps, and not a single step of Redo, I thought I should take the initiative and collect people's signatures in this matter. I know there might be some complications with the implementation of going back and forth in Mathematica, but at least within a single cell, there is no reason why this is not possible. Even the simplest text editor offers that and it can be quite frustrating to change something and then not being able to go back. I have started a petition just two days ago and I wanted to draw your attention to it. I hope you can sign it and tell other people about it.
The link to the petition is:

You must provide high colour contrast to the text in your document. A good example of high colour contrast is black and white; while an example of poor colour contrast is light yellow and white.

Styles and Headings
Styles are formatting instructions automatically programmed into Word. Styles are used in lieu of the buttons on the toolbar (for example, the "Bold" button, or the "Bullets" button). Use them to create:
- Titles (using the "Title" style)
- Headings (using one of nine "Heading" styles)
- Subtitles (using the "Subtitle" style)
- Bulleted Lists (using one of five different "List Bullet" styles)
- Numbered Lists (using one of five different "List Number" styles)
- Words in italics (using the "Emphasis" style)
- Words in bold (using the "Strong" style)
- Underlined words (using the "Subtle Reference" style)
To use a style in Microsoft Word® 2011 for Mac
There are two methods of inserting and modifying styles in Word 2011 for Mac.
- Using the "Styles" section of the "Home" tab.
- Under the "Format" menu, select "Styles"
To modify a style in Microsoft Word® 2011 for Mac
- Right Click on the icon of the particular style in the menu.
- Select "Modify". A new window will open.
- Click "Format" (found in the bottom left corner of the window).
- In the pop-up menu, select the change you wish to make. For example, if you wish to change the written text, select "Font".
- Changes which are made to one style will appear throughout the document where that particular style is used.
Alternative Text
Any pictures, graphs or text boxes within a document must be given alternative text. Alternative text must give an accurate description of what the item is, so that the user's assistive technology may convey what information is demonstrated by the item. It is a best practice to avoid WordArt and text boxes as they may be inaccessible by screen readers.
- Select the image and right click inside the image. A menu will appear.
- Select "Format Picture. A new window will pop up.
- Select "Alt Text" at the bottom left corner of the window.
- Type the description in the area provided.
How to Create Good Alternate Text
- Consider the content and function of your image.
- If it provides content to your document, make sure that the information the image provides is described in the alt text.
- If your image only provides a function (for example, providing a portrait of a historical figure described in the text) you need only describe the image. In the case that the image is of a historical figure, write his/her name as the alt text.
- Try not to use "Image of..." or "Graphic of..." as alt text. That is usually evident to the person reading the alt text.
- Do not repeat the information which is contained in the document itself into the alt text. If it's already in the document, that should be enough.
Wrapping Style of Non-Text Elements
To ensure the accessibility of non-text elements, the "wrapping style" should be set as "In line with text".
- Select the image/text box and from the "Arrange" menu
- Select "Wrap Text".
- Select "In line with text"
Use the Microsoft Word® tool to create columns. If you create columns using spaces and tabs, it will not be recognized as a column by assistive technology.
Inserting Columns in Microsoft Word® 2011 for Mac
- Click on "Page Layout" in the toolbar. The second box from the left in the ribbon is the "Page Setup" box.
- Click on "Columns" inside the box.
- Select the number of columns you want and click OK.
Use the Microsoft Word® tool to create tables. If you use the "Draw Table" tool, it will be difficult for your table to be read by assistive learning technology.
Inserting a Table in Microsoft Word® 2011 for Mac
- Go to "Tables" section of the menu.
- Under "Table Options" select "New".
- Select the number of columns and rows you want and click OK.
Table Headings
- Click anywhere in the table.
- Go to "Tables" on the top menu.
- Check the Header Row check box.
- Type (or retype) your column headings.
- Press the Enter key.
To link your document to a website or another document, you may use hyperlinks. When doing so, make sure that the Hyperlink has context and describes where it leads. It should not just read "click here", and should make it clear what the destination of the link is (example, the web link www.queensu.ca should be written as "Queen's University").
Inserting a Hyperlink in Microsoft Word® 2011 for Mac
- Using the mouse, select the text you wish to hyperlink.
- Right-click or control-click the text.
- Select "Hyperlink" then "Edit Hyperlink" from the menu.
- Enter the hyperlink text.
Graphs and Charts
To make Charts and graphs accessible, it may require explanations to explain the content. There are two actions recommended to make these items accessible.
The first is to add a short caption preceding them that describes their content. The second is to provide an alternative presentation of the findings. For many charts, the best alternative format in which to present data is a table with the original figures.
To add a caption
- Right click near the edge of the chart, graph or table and choose "Insert Caption".
- Word gives you a few default options for your caption. If you'd like to create your own select "New Label" and enter your caption into the pop-up dialog box.

If that is aimed at my post you are way off base. I was not ridiculing anyone for doing something on a budget and in fact have in several other posts discussed how to get by doing it cheaper, just doing it cheaper and using the right materials. I think I pointed out a couple of times about budget NOT being the reason to have to use lacquer over the better products and I still maintain that the economy 2k products are cheaper to use because they go so much farther. My whole point is that a person on a budget can get a better job AND save some money too by using the right material.
basically trying to make lacquer shoot like enamel by slowing it way down. i use to preferred enamel myself for solids. urethanes gives you both .
there are always different ways to go in painting. i only use 3 products so my failure rate goes way down . i only do one kind of job . so i don't change up much.
for a beginner lacquer id not really the best route to go . there are many pitfalls with lacquer and chances are it will go south in a year or so. a single stage urethane is by far going to produce the best results with the least effort and can be done on a budget. theres nothing wrong with building a car on a budget. i've done it all my life but using inferior products will spoil it for you sooner or later. i don't cut corners on things like brakes or paint. paint job is too hard to redo after the car is built.
I agree lacquer primers offer great ease of use and are very cheap, but there's no way in hell they compare to a quality epoxy or 2K in durability and corrosion resistance. I really wish I was wrong on this.
|Yes, I also noticed retarder helped a lot. I think because the flow was better and the paint stayed open longer to get the solvents out.
|wet and thin as in shot right not reduced , sorry. i used high grade thinner in primer and retarder in color. i never did buy into that 150% deal. but the problem is everyone thinks it easy because it flashes fast so they dont really have to have gun control. i've had some lacquer jobs last a long time if cared for. todays sun seems to be a little harder on them though. just about every repaint i see on forums and cars i take to redo have a checked lacquer job on them. most done at home and have a ton of primer and color. it's just not as easy as some seem to think. once a lacquer finish shatters thats it. it's gotta come off. and then theres the old painters tales of 40 coats of hand rubbed lacquer
I can't use epoxy primer because it makes me quite ill. It also stinks up a small garage so that you can't go back in for a day. I choose not to invest thousands in a real paint booth and spacesuit to be able to use a product that I don't like the way it sands. I just hate working with it.
I use the acrylic laquer high build version and it had really changed a lot for the better right before it went out of fashion IMO. It did not seem to shrink as much, and could be used in heavier coats compared to the earlier stuff.
I don't use laquer spot putty, but I do use 3M acrylic spot putty the way it was intended...like for MINOR flaws. I love the stuff. Why?, because with the 2 part putty, I cannot take my time with a portable light to chase down every little speck like I can with the acrylic.
One thing about the body/paint forum that I don't care for, is that alternative methods can't be discussed here. the board is controlled by a few people who ridicule other methods.
I still use all sorts of methods that would be ridiculed, but your opinions mean absolutely nothing to me. I just go out and look at the results of what I have done....and how it holds up over time in harsh enviornments.
You may think my post is nonsense, but somewhere in the threads here, it was said to a newcomer, that "if you don't spend at least $1500 to $2000 on materials, you can't expect a good job". The other one that got me was how a person got publicly ridiculed for "only" spending $500 to $600 on materials.
This board is of no use for a guy on a severe budget (poor) with a scruffy cheap daily driver or beginner rod, and is embarrased to drive it that way, and just wants a decent SS urethane paint job for a little over $100. You guys would laugh him off the board. Get off your almighty horses. I can do it, and it will hold up in salt, stored outdoors and never waxed. Don't tell me it can't.
end of rant....just tired of the "my way or no way" attitude around here.
Today I wouldn't use lacquer for anything.
I would add that we used lacquer primers because that's all there was to use. The 2K primer/surfacers are better in every way. I'm a hobby painter, I do a couple of cars a year, and while it's hard to keep up with new chemistry, my results are far better, last far longer than the way I did things 20 years ago.
Materials DO cost more (it cost almost 800 to paint my '62 Impala) but I know that 10 years from now the car should look as good as it does right now. It sure wouldn't if it were painted with lacquer primers and acrylic enamel, my old favorites.
Shine I don't think he was asking about using lacquer paint he is wanting to use lacquer primer.
Lacquer primer is a disaster in the making so if anyone wants to believe it wont shrink and ruin your paint go ahead and use it find out the hard way. The problems associated with using lacquer primer are well known and to insist it will not shrink anymore after a few minutes drying time is just simply ridiculous. Also buying $40 a gallon primer says volumes about the quality of a persons work and you can believe it or not but the cheaper 2k primers will cost less to use because that lacquer junk takes 2 to 3 times as much to do the same job!
i have been a painter for 40 years. i dont do it as a hobby. lacquer is one of the hardest paints to use properly. it is also misused by most people who use it. people use it because they cant paint and think it wont run or sag so it must be easier. wrong. it is to be applied wet and thin. just about every home job done in lacquer will have a life of about a year. then it will check and have to be removed. any solvent will soak into and lift it including gas.
just for the record if you have to sand and buff lacquer you did it wrong.
I have used lacquer primer for years, as I have 2K primers.
If applied properly and sanded well, lacquer works fine. Or, it does for me. I use black lacquer primer for a guide coat as well. It dries very fast, sands easily and is cheap. About $40 a gallon. I haven't found any 2k that cheap.
Another thing, it does not set up in the cup. That's why I keep some in my syphon cup. It's easy to just grab the spray gun and apply a little primer.
With 2K, you have to use it all or waste it. It will set up in the cup. I just can't see pouring out good money because I mixed up a little to much 2K.
Shrinkage: If you lay the lacquer primer on really thick, you will get shrinkage. I usually spray on light coats, and sand in a few minutes. It fills small imperfections and blends the edges of plastic filler very well.
2k will shrink, it too has solvents in it. Down side, you have to wait several hours to sand 2k.
If any one can tell me where I can get 2k primer with it's activator and reducer with shipping and handling for less than $48.00 a gallon, I will surely be getting some.
I learned bodywork and painting starting back in 1980.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with lacquer based products - unless you're flat layzeeee doing bodywork.
If done correctly there is no more shrinkage than any catalyzed products I've seen. It has more to do with the quality of your bodywork and how far grit-wise you take the filler work out before you start priming.
Catalyzed filler primers have made slap hazard filler work the norm these days IMO
With the extraordinary costs and hazards of spraying modern catalyzed substrates and surfacers, it's no wonder laquer based products are making a resurgence, especially among home builders.
The final thing I'll say about lacquer - it's the only choice for many older cars if you really want a factory type finish or something that doesn't look like plastic.
|Lacquer products used to be a flat rate bodyman's best friend because you could turn the work out quickly. Back in my younger days I used to run a service shop. I would say that 9 out of 10 lacquer jobs always came back for something...checking, cracking, shrinking or blushing. Even the cars I did myself usually looked bad after 4 or 5 years. JMO most anything today is better than lacquer, even a spray can of enamel.
|I don't usually have much to say about paint unless I see someone about to make the same mistakes I once did and of the things I needed to learn about that was causing my problems lacquer probably topped the list! I just could not understand why after a few weeks or so I could still see sand scratches if the light was just right and sometimes they were apparent at anytime. I had already figured out that lacquer could not be applied heavy otherwise sandscratchs showing in the paint and seeing the edge of a repair after painting was almost inevitable but switching to 2 part epoxy and urethane primers eliminated these problems. Even if the lacquer did not shrink, which it WILL, if I understand this right the lacquer thinner can cause most surfaces to absorb solvents causing them to swell slightly, shrinking back long after the finish paint has been applied. Lacquer caused me many problems that simply went away with the switch to the 2k primers and as I said before if a person is really tied to a tight budget then the economy 2k is cheaper to use and far better so using lacquer makes zero sense. These problems with scratches showing, etc are not glaring flaws that standout like heavy sandscratches (not usually anyway but sometimes they are!) that were not properly finished but they are quite apparent to most people although I suppose they may be acceptable to others so I guess it just depends on how much pride a person takes in their work. Lacquer primer is junk and it's faults are well known, it will ruin otherwise nice paintwork and with the materials available today it just simply makes no sense to use it!
|I got a basic enamel based primer from NAPA ( Martin senour crossfire ) for somthing like $40 per gallon.. it is a 1k

**** bro I feel for ya. hope it all turns out well
How well was it packaged?
I'd also wait on trying to fix it until you hear back from fedex.
What I've seen Japanese modelers do is draw a cross across on each of the two ends and where the lines intersect, drill and insert a pin in one half.
this gives an extra bit of rigidity. This won't work too well on the trigger guard, though as it's so thin.
I know this doesn't help but we have had a string of broken packages from shippers lately USPS is the worst. I didn't expect this from FE. Are they hiring gorillas these days?
I second Muad'Dib though. I have seen the technique where you make grooves like stitches on skin and fill the gouge with resin. He's right about the thinner areas. I recently had to fix my OSCS Bucket. USPS cracked it.
Ive fixed stuff similar to this situation with krazy glue....but where its broke is bad as its a high stress area. The seller should have split it in two not sent it whole.
yea the high stress area is my worry too = /. both ends of the blaster are pretty heavy, so im pretty sure any glue would break with the weight. i'm not worried about the trigger gaurd as much, i can just make a new one of those or e6000 it.
i Did not buy it directly from MOW, but it is my understanding that it did come exactly how it is (except in one piece).
It was probably packed better from MOW.
I think where it is broken you may really want to use the pin method I mentioned. Maybe a couple pins, top and bottom.
1. I took my dremel and cut a bunch of resin out of the two broken ends
2. Took a 1/8" drill bit and drilled a long bit into both ends to easily fit a 1/8" steel rod into both of the drill bit holes.
3. Mixed some JB Weld and filled in both areas, including the holes used for the drill bit, fit the steel rod into both holes and pressed it shut.
That sounds like exactly what I was thinking but I didn't know what adhesive to use. How long was the rod you used? What exactly did you trim with the dremel before drilling?
About half an inch, and the rod went into both ends about an inch.
The adhesive was JB Weld, that **** is so strong that it could glue an X-Wing to the ceiling.
You can buy it in the automotives section of Wal-Mart for about $4.
I agree. JB weld is some strong stuff. I think you could put metal dowels in like has been mentioned and it would be strong enough to troop with. The trigger guard may just have to be superglued back in place. I have been using Zap a Gap that you can get at Michaels craft stores. It is really strong.
Get some little drill bits and do the JB Weld method using Paper Clip pieces. It will work, trust me
Should hear back from fedex soon. they may want to come inspect it before they pay the claim, so i cant fix it yet. but i will definately do the jb weld / paperclip method when i can. Thanks again =)
Will any of the parts come off the main pistol body? I think i have a pistol body laying around somewhere.
nope, all 1 piece, looks like i'll be jbweld and pinning it. still waiting on fedex to find out if they want to "inspect" it.
I can make you a trigger and trigger guard, so you dont have to glue those. Better to just grind them off me thinks.
mightytank: I feel for you. I would have been furious too.
This video shows just how much care is really given by some of those baggage handlers when the items are being loaded onto a plane. This is why it's always important to reinforce the packaging when items are being shipped. (Which apparently FEDEX didn't in this case.)

i use food reward and marker training 100% for all learning, one of my dogs will spit out food now and go for the tug so it is trained with the tug reward unless i want to reduce its intensity then its food (never both in same session) other dog will spit tug out and go for food so it is trained mainly food reward.
i reduce the frequency of and randomise the reward after learning is established. the few things i want proofed i use food and tugs as a distraction.
i could not imagine any reason excpet ignorance for any other method of training these days than marker training for early learning - we have old competitors here that call it a trend, unreliable and oh that dogs just working for a reward (as oppossed to avoiding pain presumably).
the truth is their best performances from yesteryear would score very low compared to todays performances with marker training - thats the truth of it. shame you tube was not around 20 years ago - a lot of older trainers would have a lot less to say.
I train one of my dogs in IPO, so tracking, obedience and protection.
Food reward when he indicates articles and a flirtpole with a fox tail on the end of it is his jackpot at this time. He isn't really food motivated so a food jackpot at the end doesn't get him excited, nor does tug or a ball...he'd rather keep on tracking. But when he finds his fuzzy tail, he knows he succeeded.
I like to play tug, and build enthusiasm before we work in obedience. I ask for some ups, turns, circles before we begin. Then I ask for these after a correction or to bring him back into engagement.
I don't use harsh voice very often(try not to!) but do communicate when the dog isn't doing what I want and communicate when he is. So uh-uh and good are my bridge words, then yes is the marker. I also use leash jingles, collar pops to bring his focus back to me when I use the uh-uhs. Free is the release word.
For protection lately my bridge word is quiet and good. My dog is a barker and we are working on this with good results!
I'm also training him via e-collar for more control work. I use food, ball and praise(chest rubs, verbal) for his rewards during this training too. We trained this with place on a agility size place-board, wobble-board, and smaller place-boards along with sitz, heir's platz's and voraus. Place is his word to give me focus and sit when I move to his tail, he moves to face me. dogs may shut down with the way I am training and harder dogs wouldn't be phased. When I give him food rewards I have him drive into me or do an up for that reward, seldom do I reward in position(but this is an older dog, for a pup, it would be rewarded in position with an up)
Every dog is different, so individual methods are more important than preferred methods. Softer
I'd rather gear my training to the dog than what I 'prefer' if that makes sense?
|Paul K
Training preferences.
Just after some views and opinions. Im not judging but just like your experiences, preferences and why if you dont mind.
Many years ago I had a German Shep (Talking about 20 yrs) Training was with a slip collar, verbal reprimands with a stern harsh voice and lots of praise. This seemed to work well from memory. The other night I went to the local dog obedience club. Everybody walking around with little bum bags on giving their dogs little treats for everything they done, using the treat to make the dog lie etc etc. It seemed to me the only reward was food. Now I know fads come and go and different styles come and go too like clicker training. So I am interested to know what you do with your dog (tacking, obedience etc) and your preferred method of training Thanks for you time and input.

How many times have you felt like your kid looks a lot better than you do? Could be almost every day. But it really hit me today. Here she is wearing a great dress we got her in Paris, and I am dressed like a slob. I had exercised, but really it's not an uncommon outfit for me to wear when I am not working.
Mommy clothes are either working out clothes, the horrendous mom jeans, or the flowing skirt/dress thing. We went to our Rock Toddler music class and a mommy friend was there in the flowing dress look. I think that is the way to go. Especially in the summer. Comfortable, no tushy showing, still feminine. 'Cause sometimes I see moms running around in their faux workout clothes, and I am seeing outlines of a body that shouldn't be showcased. I think, "Oh God, that is me!"
Partly it's fashion by sleep deprivation, but now that I get more sleep I think I could pull it together. Do I really need to be this casual in order to parent? Do any of us? It feels like it, but maybe we all need a paradigm shift.

Third-graders at Riverton Elementary School were recognized on Monday for helping to save an eagle badly burned in a wildfire around Saratoga Springs last summer.
The students organized a service project for the eagle, which was rescued from the Dump Fire, to help the bird with its recovery, said Sandy Riesgraf, a spokeswoman for the Jordan School District.
Students adopted the eagle, named Phoenix, and raised money for its rehabilitation. Students made a scrapbook chronicling Phoenix's recovery and built 30 bird perches for Phoenix and other birds injured in the fire.
The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah surprised third-graders in teacher Raegan Fay's class on Monday with a thank-you party, where the children were able to show off how they helped Phoenix recover.
