Article: First, arrange your hands into the basic grip for the pitch you want to modify. Modify it by bending your index and middle fingers at the first joint. Place your fingernails flat against the ball and keep these 2 middle knuckles raised up. When you release the ball, allow your top knuckles to push away the Wiffle ball to give it a spin. For example, with a knuckle slider, you'd get a counter-clockwise spin. Don't let your ring and pinky fingers wrap around the ball. Position your hands higher on the side with no holes for this pitch. For dramatic movement and a big break, turn your wrist slightly so that the holes face the batter when you follow through. Snap your wrist so your fingers graze the side of the ball when you release it. This will be a slower pitch than a regular slider but the dramatic curve will throw off the batter. This works best with a scuffed or cut Wiffle ball. Hold the ball with the holes as you would for a regular slider or riser, then insert the tip of your middle finger into 1 of the holes. Wrap your other fingers and thumb loosely around the ball. Throw a slider change-up over the top if you want to make the ball break left, or try throwing it at 3/4 if you want to add some rise toward the end. Use different arm angles to make the ball break at different spots when throwing a riser change-up. Face the ball's holes toward your palm and hold the ball with a secure grip. Just be sure not to cover the holes heavily with your fingers or palm. Hold the ball with just your index and middle fingers, or add your ring and pinky fingers to the grip to modify this pitch. Throw this forcibly as you would with a fastball, but whip the ball out of your hand at the end with a snap of your wrist. The goal of a change-up is to trick the batter into thinking you'll pitch a fastball, but the change-up will be a slower pitch.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Bend your index and middle fingers against the ball for a knuckle pitch. Adjust your follow-through by snapping your wrist for a nasty slider. Place your middle finger into a hole for a slider change-up or riser change-up. Hold the holes toward your hand and use a loose grip for a straight change-up.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take a few minutes every day to check in with yourself. At the end of each day, you can ask yourself questions. Try thinking, "How did my actions today relate to Value #1? How about Value #2?" This will only take a few minutes of your time, but can be very helpful in keeping your values front and center. Ask all of the members of your family to adopt this habit. Once you have a mission statement that is easily accessible, it will be easy for everyone to reference the list of values on a daily basis. You can do this by making sure to spend quality time together. The more time that you spend together, the more shared experiences you will have as a family. Spending quality time with each other will allow you to get to know one another better. This will help you figure out what matters most to each of you individually, and as a family. Schedule time for the whole family to spend together. It can be as simple as eating dinner together, or something like devoting a whole Saturday to family activities. Let each member of the family have input in your activities. For example, if your daughter loves to exercise, try taking a hike together. Your values are an important part of your decision-making process. Keep your family values in mind before making any big life choices. For example, if a family value is education, make sure to live in an area with good schools. Make life choices part of a family discussion. Before major changes are made, call a family meeting to discuss how the potential change aligns with your family values. The best way to integrate your family values into your daily life is to make sure that your actions reflect those values. Make sure that the choices you make are in line with what you consider to be your most important family values. If your number one family value is honesty, make sure that you are candid and truthful. Apply this value to your work life and your social life. Modeling is the best way to help children learn values. For example, if you value respect, show your kids how to be respectful by always addressing other people with consideration. Values are important because they can help determine your choices and your actions. When you are thinking about family values, it is useful to also consider your family goals. Your values will likely play a big role in how you go about accomplishing those goals. Is learning one of your family values? Think about translating that into a concrete goal. Think about the steps you can take to focus on learning as a family. For example, you could all learn a new language together or take a cooking class. This will integrate your family values and goals. If financial responsibility is a family value, you could use that guiding principle to make sure that each family member understands the importance of sticking to a budget. That way, you can accomplish family goals of saving for retirement, college, etc.

SUMMARY: Think of your values daily. Stay connected as a family. Make positive life choices. Model your values. Use family values to work on family goals.

You need to make sure that the guy doesn't have you firmly planted in the friend zone and that he doesn't think he's in your "friend zone" either. There are a few things that you can do to draw the distinction between "just friends" and "more than friends". If he tries to treat you like another one of the guys, don't let him. Make it clear that you're not just there to be his buddy. If he invites you out with a group of guys, look nice, like you're dressing for a date. Look at how he asks you for advice. If he's always asking you what he should do about one girl or another, then he may just view you as a friend. Try to change the subject and show him that you're girlfriend material. There's a difference between dropping hints that you'd like him to ask you out and being very obvious about how much you want to go on a date. If you're too obvious, you won't leave anything to the imagination, and you won't seem as desirable. Avoid lavishing him with attention. He will be overwhelmed and it's better to play it cool. Avoid constantly asking him to hang out. If he's not responding, he may not be feeling it. Avoid talking about how free your weekends are or how flexible your schedule is. Instead, talk about all the fun plans you have ahead. He should feel like he should try to squeeze into your busy schedule if he wants to see you, not like you're waiting around for something fun to do. If you really want the guy to ask you out and feel like you've been dropping hints and letting him know you want to go out forever, then there are two things you can do. Move on. If you've made it clear that you want him to ask you out and he just won't budge, maybe he's just not that into you and you should find someone more worthy of your affection. Ask him out. If he's just really shy but you have the sense he wants to get to know you better, just be bold and ask him out. If you're nervous about it, ask him to hang out with you in a big group first.
