Hi there everyone, it's Lubin here and today I'll give you my tips to competitions in Nintendogs+cats.

Starting off with the basics, which apply to every competition. The first thing is of course taking good care of your dog, doing things such as:

Keeping your dog's coat clean and shiny by shampooing it or grooming it, if it's not that dirty.

You also need to give your dog something to drink and eat, because otherwise you won't even be able to enter the comp.

Also take your dog out for a walk to get some exercise and exploring, also get your dog some fresh air.

It's also good to let your dog rest after the exercise.

Let's start off with Disc Competition since I have the most tips for this one.

Start off by going to the supplies store. Buy different types of discs, because as your dog gets faster you need faster discs. You can also buy a boomerang for later on speed training.

Now go for a walk and head for the mountains. Enter the mountain park, it's the best place to start practicing. Make sure you're alone at the park since other dogs will be a distraction for your dog.

Then pick the right disc and start practicing with short and easily catched throws. Remember to tap the screen repeatedly to get your dog to fetch the disc.

When your dog brings the disc, pet them until you get the sparkles, which indicate owner points.

Then grab the disc and throw it again. Keep practicing and remember to be patient. Don't switch the disc until dog is faster than the disc.

Now, when you reach the Pro Cup, there will be a new challenge, sand pits. Sandpits will slow your dog down and can be really annoying, too.

To deal with sandpits head over to the seaside park. Practice there. Even though your dog will be slow at first, it will get faster eventually, so just keep practicing!

Also, even though the space at your home isn't that great, you can always practice if there are no other dogs. You can practice speed and jumping with the boomerang.

Before entering a competition make sure your dog's stats are all okay and they have gone out.

If you haven't really practiced a lot for sandpits, you can always avoid them. You basically throw to you left or right, avoiding the center and outer sandpits. However, there will be other dogs in the same area, trying to catch their own discs, and you are crossing their path, although this doesn't end in a collision every time, but sometimes missed throws.

Now I'll give you tips for each cup of disc. First off the Junior cup. Well, junior cup is really just plain disc throwing, only rule is not hitting walls with the disc, like other cups. You don't really need much practice for this cup, as it's easy and your opponenets aren't that strong

In Amateur cup there will be area bonuses, which will give you extra points if you catch inside them. You should go for them.

In Pro cup your opponents are getting harder to beat and are starting to make less mistakes. Since amateur cup there will be area bonuses, but now there will also sand pits which make running more difficult.

In Master cup your opponents are fast and go for short throws, but you should stick to long throws because they get more points faster on a row.

In Nintendogs cup your opponents are very strong. They are very fast and catch maximum points and also they don't make very many mistakes, none at all in most cases, so be prepared.

Thanks for using the subtitles, I worked hard for them.

And yeah, that was basically my guide for Disc Comp, thanks for watching and bye see you in the next video

An Introvert's Guide to Talking to Your Crush - Duration: 3:54.

An Introvert's Guide to Talking to Your Crush

Talking to someone you like can be a real challenge especially if you are an introvert.

You just cannot imagine an introvert walking toward a crush and immediately express what

she, or he feels for this whole time.

It is just a thing made up, or it is just too good to be true.

However, it is worth mentioning that talking to your crush as introvert is possible even

without saying a word.

Introvert should like this strategy because it does not cost his, or her life.

There are some subtle actions that you can do to increase your chance to talk to your

crush.

But before we see the whole lists, If you're new to our channel, make sure to click the

subscribe button below, and don't forget to like this video if you find this information

is helpful to you.

#1 - Subtle glance

The first thing that you do is absolutely subtle glance.

It is similar to eye contact, and it plays important role because it indicates how willing

you are in having interaction.

When you see someone's eyes, that person soon realizes that you are going to say something

to him/her.

However, at the first stage, you should do that too frequently or intensely because it

makes you creepy.

Instead, you should only gaze your target subtly to the point they do not realize it.

#2 - Remember to smile

People respect smiles, and you should do that too to your crush.

Don't forget to smile because it brings happiness to people around you especially

your crush.

This also helps you to get a higher chance to talk to him, or her.

Making your crush comfortable around you is the best starting point for you, and be sure

to do that.

#3 - Making eye contact

As you are getting used to meet your crush, you should try something riskier: the eye

contact.

Making eye contact can be a great challenge especially if you never do it before.

However, it has very high chance to get you talking with your crush.

Your crush probably starts taking initiative though.

#4 - Be observant

You really pay attention to what your crush does.

That means, you can provide what she, or he wants without him or her asking it first.

It shows that you care, and it opens up the opportunity to talk to your crush.

It is the best romantic moment that you can get, and be sure to do that frequently.

#5 - Trying to talk to your crush

The early stage of talking to your crush is probably the hardest.

There is always incident preventing you from doing so.

However, you should keep trying until you can express something that makes your crush

happy.

You can say that she, or he looks beautiful or handsome today.

#6 - Do not freak out

Sometimes, your crush suddenly sees you doing something weird.

Stay cool, and pretend like she, or he actually appreciates what you are doing no matter how

weird it is.

Keep calm, stay cool, and you will experience the best feeling ever.

#7 - Small kindness

This is the last thing that you can do before talking to the person you like.

Give him, or her surprise, so that your crush knows exactly that someone is actually sacrificing

everything for him or her.

From this point, your crush probably becomes more open to you.

Well, that's all the little tips for introverts to talk with their crush.

So, really cool information isn't it?

The I in Team • S04E13 • TPN's Buffy Guide - Duration: 7:21.

Well...remember the turn I said this great season is about to take?

Here we go.

The Scoobies are having a quiet night at home while Buffy is out beating the snot out of

her new boyfriend's team of muscled military types.

Riley is proud but clearly Buffy's power makes Walsh uneasy.

A nuke that she doesn't have the keys to.

There's something a little odd about this scene in that Buffy appears to be going full

speed on them, as she did Riley in the previous episode, and Buffy's power is enough to

manhandle burly demons.

How are the Initiative bros not in the hospital?

Also I did want to acknowledge the unsung hero of this Season

Graham: Nice going Buffy

Graham.

As douchey Forrest is and as milquetoast as Riley can be Graham just seems like a calm

standup guy.

And him complimenting Buffy in this scene made me really like him.

Willow reminds Buffy of plans that night at the bronze.

We get the sense that they haven't been seeing that much of each other lately.

And I kind of love that too.

The portrayal of how one of your friends gets a new significant other and you kinda sorta

stop seeing the for awhile.

I have both witnessed that and been guilty of it.

Riley brings Buffy to the man cave where she witnesses a few demons being reconditioned.

Walsh gives Buffy a key to the kingdom and a pager.

Man this episode is dry at this point.

But, like finding water in the desert, across town a pair I actually care about are hanging

out.

Tara gives Willow a crystal of her grandmother's.

Tara invites Willow over but Willow has plans with Buffy that evening at the Bronze.

She doesn't invite Tara along.

Amber Benson has such specific ticks as Tara that I love.

When she looks down I FEEL her shyness in my own body.

I love her performance.

And she and a scientist discuss the risk that Buffy poses along with some experiment they

have going.

After Willow didn't invite Tara Buffy shows at the Bronze with her beau and all his bros.

Willow pleads for caution but team Riley gets beeped out on a mission.

At the briefing the science team says aren't allowed to damage the demons arms and the

wheel that is the Buffster squeeks relentlessly.

I love this shot of Buffy and her rassy sassy outfit surrounded by the military men in Mao

suits.

If ever there was a single image the touched on some of the season's themes this might

be it.

The episode's title "The I in Team" is a reference to the old saying, "There

is no 'I' in team," referring to the need of a team to forgo individual interests

to be successful.

Buffy, obviously, is the I.

Don't worry I've patrolled in this halter many times.

What interesting is if you consider the play on words from the perspective of both her

temporarily leaving the Scoobies in this one and her not fitting in with the Initiative

dude-bros, there is a cool reflection of the Scoobies metaphorical relationship to her.

Buffy has been ignoring the concerns of her metaphorical heart, mind, and spirit for the

past few episodes.

Things usually end up well when that happens.

Out on patrol Forrest's crush on Riley has turned sour grapes, as he complains relentlessly

about Riley's new girlfriend.

I tend to believe that Forrest has secretly been in love with Riley the whole time

and the machismo (ma-keez-mo) turned up to 11

"These ones go to 11"

Was just him compensating for his insecurity over his own sexuality.

There's no concrete evidence in the text to confirm that theory one way or another

and it's probably much more likely that he's just written a little one dimensionally…

But the sexy male unrequited love reading is so much more interesting to me than Forrest

just being Forrest.

Hashtag bring your own subtext.

Buffy and Riley find the baddy.

As the lunge for it, the shots drop into slow mo and we get a bizarre little montage of

them fighting together in sync and having sex for the first time.

This confirms the visual metaphor of their dissonant fighting in Hush and what that meant

about their relationship to that point.

The music here is also very unusual for the show.

I can't quite remember another piece of music just like it.

It is a pulsating bit of electronia that feels both sexy and wrong and unnerving.

I dig it.

The editing is also really interesting.

I love how it plays with time and culminates after we've already been watching them have

sex with Buffy asking:

"So what do you want to do now."

Really creative.

Though I needed a bit of brain bleach after seeing Riley's sex face.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?

And then the camera pans around and we get the reason why maybe the music was so haunting

and unsure of itself.

As we see Walsh watching them have sex.

A creepy and unnerving reinforcement of the panopticon idea.

Spike has been tracker tagged by the Initiative and flees to Giles'.

They agree to help him.

Buffy wakes up in bed and quickly turns to see if she's alone.

I give Riley a lot of points in this moment but it's because we've been with Buffy

through a number of horrible relationships already and have such empathy for her bruised.

Hilarious though that Buffy's love life has lowered the bar to the point where just

not being a turd wins you points.

A bit of reference to the fact that Riley has a touch of the nice-guy problem.

201

Riley has an alarm to remind him to take his vitamins.

A hint at how he and the initiative can keep up with Buffy without her accidentally killing

them.

I am how they trained me.

Walsh sends Riley out after Spike and we see she's using monster parts to build Adam.

Willow and Buffy both return to the dorm room after not having stayed there overnight.

Buffy is doing the walk of shame from Riley's.

Willow was out all night with Tara.*subtext bell.

Walsh sends Buffy on a mission and Willow helps the team save Spike from the tracker.

This is an unusually slapstick joke for the show but I loved the little detail of Willow

using Tara's crystal.

In the sewers Buffy realizes Walsh has sent her into a trap with a gun that doesn't

work.

Walsh is watching from a camera and see's Buffy's heart rate monitor drop to zero.

She looks around her guiltily in what is her character' most human moment since…

"I like her"

Riley returns to the nest and as Walsh tries to lie to Riley about Buffy

Riley leaves.

Maggie monologues to her Frankenstein who wakes up and kills her in a genuinely shocking

but unexplained moment.

Why, did he wake up right then?

It's difficult to comment on the first episode in a two-parter so I will save most of my

comments for the next video.

But somehow this episode feels slow and gives me whiplash at the same time.

The season arc had been limping along for 12 episodes so far but here jumps to a sprint.

The mad scientist developments with Walsh are way too fast.

Meanwhile gang chemistry feels like it's going in slow motion...which is appropriate

for the current subplots but has the effect of making the episode feel at odds with itself.

There's a reason.

We'll get to it in the next.

"Riley...make me proud."

Stormfall: Rise of Balur - Stoneheart Castle Video Guide Part 3 - Duration: 4:46.

We made it!

This is the last part of our journey to learn all about Stoneheart Castle.

Trust me, you'll want to pay close attention to this one.

That's because we are going to look at some major features today.

Stoneheart Trials, Stoneheart League Achievements, and Stoneheart Masteries.

As always, the more likes and subscriptions we get, the more useful videos we'll post

- so click those buttons people!

Let's go.

Stoneheart Masteries.

To give you the opportunity to improve your Stoneheart Units and Stoneheart Castle economy

we have created a brand new tree for Stoneheart Masteries.

You can access this tree from the House of Scrolls, "Stoneheart" tab.

In short, each Mastery improves a specific aspect of your journey through Stoneheart Castle.

If you unlock and upgrade all the Stoneheart Masteries on the tree, you will:

Be able to train all the different types of Stoneheart Units

Boost your Stoneheart Units' Offense and Defense

Reduce the Revival Cost (in Sapphires) for each Stoneheart Unit

Increase the percentage of Stoneheart Units that will be sent to the Infirmary

Increase the bonuses from your Offensive and Defensive Stoneheart Abilities

Increase the Activation Chance of each Stoneheart Unit Ability

Unlock higher level Stoneheart Perimeter Fortifications

Unlock buildings to increase Adamantine Production

Remember, you can see the bonuses from each Mastery by tapping its icon on the Mastery

Tree, then tapping "Details".

You can discover only one Lost Art or one Mastery at any one time

unless you hire an Extra Scribe, which will allow you to discover two simultaneously.

If you want to discover Masteries faster, you can reduce Mastery Discovery Time using

Stoneheart Boosts.

Or complete any process instantly with Sapphires.

Here are some other points for you to consider:

All bonuses that currently affect the speed of Lost Art Discovery will also apply to Masteries.

Points for discovering and upgrading Masteries will contribute to Achievements.

Masteries do not affect the 7% Resource Production Bonus.

This is still unlocked by discovering all the Lost Arts that do not require Soulstones.

You can use League Help to discover Masteries faster.

Each League Member that responds to your Request will reduce the Discovery/Upgrade Time.

To discover Masteries you will need to collect the relevant Stoneheart Scrolls.

You can get these by logging into the game, purchasing them from the Masteries Tree

winning them at Stoneheart trials, or as a Reward for completing League Achievements.

Stoneheart Trials.

It's been a long time coming for some of our players

but we're pleased to announce a brand new type of PvE Location - Stoneheart Trials.

Stoneheart Trials are special locations that pit your Stoneheart Units against Balur across

the Map of Darkshine.

The Units you will face are different to those found at regular Battlegrounds.

So be sure to check their statistics to find the most effective way of destroying them.

Only Stoneheart Units can fight at Stoneheart Trials, which means that you'll have to

plan your strategy carefully.

The way you get through Stoneheart Trials is almost exactly the same as regular Battlegrounds.

First, you must complete the highest available Level of Stoneheart Trial.

After a certain number of Levels you must clear a Stoneheart Saga Trial.

In another similarity to regular Battlegrounds, Stoneheart Trials can offer you a wide range

of Rewards.

While the highest Level Trials will yield the greatest Rewards, there is also value

in sending weaker Stoneheart Infantry Units

to lower-Level Trials - you may just end up with a more powerful army containing Stoneheart

Cavalry, Occult, and even Bestiary Units.

This is particularly important in the early stages of your interaction with the feature

as there will be a fair amount of upgrading to do before you can train the more powerful

Units by yourself.

As well as Stoneheart Units, you'll receive Adamantine as a Reward for completing Stoneheart

Trials.

This resource is essential for training Units, constructing and upgrading Stoneheart Buildings,

and discovering Stoneheart Masteries.

Your first Stoneheart Saga Trial will be available to you as soon as you get access to Stoneheart

Castle.

After this, new Stoneheart Saga Trials appear after every 10 Levels of Offensive and Defensive

Stoneheart Trials you complete.

This means the second Stoneheart Saga Trial will be available after you complete a Level

10 Stoneheart Trial.

Similar to the existing Saga Quests, you'll be able to see the Reward for completing this

type of location before you attack it.

Stoneheart League Achievements.

We have added two new League Achievements to reward those

Leagues that perform well with this new feature.

"Legends of Stoneheart" rewards Leagues for training Stoneheart Units

while "Stoneheart Trial Masters" can be achieved by completing Stoneheart Trials.

And that's it, you are ready to harness the power of this feature and become a true Stoneheart

warrior yourself.

If you liked this video, like it, share it, and leave a comment below with your thoughts.

Thanks for watching and good luck!

Your Ideal Loft Conversion - Part 4 Of Our 8 Part Guide - Loft Staircases - Duration: 1:33.

Hello I'm Angie from Jeffery and Wilkes and this is part 4 of our 8 part

guide to your ideal loft conversion. So today I'm going to talk to you about

staircases. The aim of a loft conversion is to create space, so you

need to make sure that you plan your staircases so that you don't lose too much

space. A straight staircase is easy to build and to merge into the rest of your

house but it can take up a lot of space. If there's not enough space for a

straight staircase then a quarter staircase could be a good option for you.

A quarter staircase is built with corners and small landings on a ninety

degree turn. A half staircase creates a 180 degree turn and uses even less space

then the quarter staircase. A winding staircase curves on itself until it

reaches the next floor and goes in a circular shape. Wood is a great option

for a staircase especially if it matches your existing staircase. You can also

carpet or half carpet staircases. Other things to consider are glass balustrades,

open risers and decorative treads. Check out the article that comes with

this blog post with visuals and for more information and join us again for part

5 of our 8 part guide to your ultimate loft conversion. See you again.

Cruise Port Guide 2018: Grand Turk Tips and Overview - Duration: 5:49.

TheJellyBeans.net

Grand Turk is a little island with a lot to offer.

In addition to some of the best diving in the world, there is also the Grand Turk Cruise

Center area for those who prefer spending the day shopping, swimming at a pool, or sunbathing

on a white sandy beach.

The cruise terminal -- which caters to Carnival Corporation cruise lines like Carnival, Princess,

Holland America, and P&O -- has a pier that can accommodate two ships at the same time.

No tender is required.

The beach, shopping, restaurants, and a pool are just steps away.

Be sure to remember that Clam Shells, Beach Chairs, and Sun Umbrellas inside the Grand

Turk Cruise Center are complimentary for cruise passenger use.

Even the ones closest to the water!

Signs are posted, but there will still be plenty of locals trying to scam money from

unsuspecting tourists.

We simply tell them, "No, thanks.

Everything is free," and they leave us alone, realizing we know about their scam.

When exiting the ship, most passengers tend to head towards the white sandy beaches on

the left side -- or north side -- of the Grand Turk pier and there is good reason.

There are plenty of chairs, clam shells, and umbrellas available; the beach and water are

beautiful; you get to swim close to the ships; and the snorkeling is great because Carnival

has submerged cannons, anchors and other items in that area to attract fish.

Also on the left side of the Grand Turk pier is Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant

area which has a complimentary pool with complimentary lounge chairs.

A Flowrider surfing attraction is available near the pool and cost around $30 an hour

on our last visit.

Riders must be at least 52 inches.

The Flowrider attraction may be purchased as a shore excursion through the cruise line.

Additionally, a limited number are sometimes available

at the Flowrider shop near the swimming pool.

Although there are many things to enjoy on the left side of the pier, we usually go to

the right side -- or south side -- of the Grand Turk pier, which also has a lot to offer and

tends to be not as popular.

We love this location because we have a better chance of finding a clam shell, even if we're

not the first people off the ship.

Even though the area is more rocky than the beach area to the north, we've had great

luck spotting many fish and sea urchins while snorkeling in this area.

There is also a restaurant and bathrooms close by.

If you're planning to spend your day at Grand Turk by the water -- or in it -- remember

to bring a beach towel from the ship and return it to the ship at the end of the day.

Towels are not provided on the island.

We also recommend you bring your own snorkeling equipment and buckets for building sand castles.

In the center of the cruise terminal itself you'll find several shops to explore.

Like other ports, many offer freebies and raffles.

Details are available in the port shopping guides that are handed out on the ship.

Outside of the Cruise Terminal boundaries there are several excursion options as well

as two areas that can be explored by foot.

The most popular area is north of the Cruise Center, along the beach.

There are a couple of bars in that direction that are very popular with tourists and crew,

the most popular of which seems to be Jack's Shack Beach Bar and Grill.

The bar is about a ten-minute walk from the exit of the Cruise Center and you can visit

their website to get a free shot of rum.

If you head south – past the warning signs that you're about the leave the cruise terminal

area – you'll come to what some call the Conch Shell graveyard, which is popular with

beachcombers.

Though some cruisers are successful bringing conch shells back on the ship to take home,

most are often confiscated at the ship's security checkpoint when you return from port.

Finally, a great resource for learning more about the island and the cruise terminal is

the Grand Turk Cruise Center website – which includes Maps of the island, a listing of

taxi fares to explore the island, excursion descriptions, and a calendar showing the ships

scheduled to be in port on a specific day.
