Video de la carrera de Roy, Jumping grado III de Alen Marekovic. En perro blanco. 35.44 segundos aprox; excelente sin faltas. A pesar de que roy sea un "principiante" aún, decidimos correr este Jumping grado III como deafío. Una vez más, mi cachorro de 14 meses superó mis expectativas. Lo único que no me gustó, fue cómo se abrió después de la valla 4. Pero eso fue 100% mi culpa, ya que no le avisé que recortara, ni le avisé que ibamos a doblar. Roy entendió que tenía que seguir derecho, por eso salto largo y cayó mirando el muro. Tendría que haberle avisado antes incluso de que salte la valla 4. Después, la carrera fue muy linda ----------------------- video o Roy, running Jumping grade III by Alen Marekovic. We were not competing, this was like a bonus before the real competition started. 35.44 aprox. seconds; clean run Depite the fact that Roy is just a "starter" agility dog, we decided to try running this course, just to see how we do it. Again, my 14 month old Border Collie overcame my expectations. The only thing I didnt like was the long jump he did after jump 4. But it was my fault. I didnt told him to wrap, I didnt told him we were going to turn!! So he understood he had to go on and he did a long jump and landed looking at the jump wall. Immediately I called him, but anyway it was a bit late. Apart from that it was a very beautiful run and I'm very proud of my little Roy.
Get a Jump Start on Life! Early College Boosts Opportunity for Teens
It was "Pomp and Circumstance" once more this spring as we attended another college graduation. This time, my 19-year-old son was graduating with his bachelor's degree in Computer Science. In less than a month, he would start his new position as an Assistant Technical Analyst in a Fortune 500 corporation. But wait... at nineteen, isn't he supposed to be starting college?
I don't know about you, but I've never seen the point in wasting time. I was always the kid who read ahead in class, finished homework before leaving school for the day, and saw no point in filling out sixteen workbook pages on a concept I already knew. When it came to educating my four boys, I've taken a similar approach. Once the basics of a subject are mastered, they can move ahead as quickly as they like, earning college credit while still in high school. Why not?
Benjamin Franklin once said, "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of." Although traditional education has decreed that primary and secondary education should take twelve or thirteen years to complete, there is no good reason to spend that amount of time, unless you want to.
For homeschooling families, there are much more productive ways to spend those dozen years than crawling through a traditional course of study. The most compelling benefits of earning college credit during high school include increased credibility for the homeschool transcript, and a dramatic savings in the time and money needed to obtain a college degree. Let's talk about these benefits, and the two simplest ways you can start earning credit - standardized college-level exams and community college classes.
Credibility: Show What You Know While diversity is one of homeschooling's greatest assets, it can also be perceived as a liability. Pity the poor college admissions officer who has to wade through hundreds of applications and transcripts each week! When dealing with an accredited public or private school, he knows there is an objective system for assigning grades. When dealing with a homeschooler's application, though, he has no idea how objectively or by what standards grades are assigned. It makes it difficult to measure a homeschooler against someone who has been traditionally schooled.
So how can a student measurably and credibly demonstrate his learning? A parent-created high school transcript is a start, but it won't tell the whole story, unless it shows results from standardized tests or grades from sources other than the parent. When an admission officer sees on a transcript that a homeschooled student has taken English Literature and earned a 'B,' he has no way of knowing the scope and depth of the student's work. However, if the transcript lists a standardized test score or college grade along with the parent-granted grade, the admissions officer immediately has a better picture of what the student has studied and how well he understood the material. This gives him an objective point of reference, and as a bonus, may also impress him!
Save Time: Turn Study Hours into Credit Hours I recently read that it is taking students longer than ever to earn a four-year college degree. Some students are juggling jobs and school, while others have had difficulty settling on a major. Imagine what an advantage a student would have if he or she entered college with a year or two of college credit that was accumulated during the high school years! This credit cushion would provide several wonderful options. The student could:
* Choose to graduate early
* Spend a year exploring classes that look interesting
* Opt for a double major
* Start a microbusiness
* Spend time as an intern or volunteer
* Travel
By learning deeply and purposefully, and investing a little time in testing or college classes during high school, you can make the most of the high school years, and open doors to many interesting opportunities.
Money: A Penny Saved is a Dollar Earned Community college classes and college-level exams are a cheap way to earn college credit. Classes usually cost considerably less than 0 per credit hour, and most exams cost less than 0 for three to six credits. That works out to less than thirty dollars per credit hour for three-credit exams, and less than twenty dollars per credit for six-credit exams. Compared with community college classes, which are reasonable enough, exams come out way ahead, unless your state pays for community college classes when they are taken as a dual-credit option.
Why College-Level Exams? There are two benefits you can earn with exams such as the AP, CLEP, or DSST - advanced placement (also known as "testing out" of otherwise required classes), or actual college credit. The decision as to which benefit to grant rests with the college you choose, but either way, you add credibility to your transcript and save both time and money by taking them.
The beauty of exams is that they don't cause a lot of extra work. Any high-school subject can be broadened and deepened to college-level, especially a subject in which the student has a natural interest. The exams measure whether a student has acquired knowledge and understanding that is approximately comparable to what he would learn in an introductory-level college course. If a student loves a subject and has read extensively on his own, he may be ready to pass a college-level exam without much further study.
College-level exams are convenient. AP exams are offered at high schools; CLEP, DSST, and other exams are offered at test centers on college campuses nationwide. You can take exams whenever you're ready - there's no age limit. They're cheaper than most other ways of earning college credit. They're objective, many are widely accepted, and they make the most of your time. And scores are maintained on a testing company transcript for twenty years so that you can have them sent to any schools you wish at any time during those years.
Try College (with Training Wheels) Your local community college or junior college offers another option for earning credit in classes, such as lab sciences, that are difficult to manage at home. It's like college with training wheels-most students commute, many are first-generation college students, and classes are often designed to bring these students up to speed so they can transfer to a four-year college if they wish. The application process is simple; tuition is usually much lower than at a four-year school; and students can begin by trying just one or two classes at a time with no long-term commitment.
I've heard of students as young as 10 years old being admitted, but most schools prefer that students be 13 or older. My sons started taking classes when they were 15 or 16, and it has been a very positive experience for all of them. Both of my older sons completed associate's degrees, then transferred to four-year schools to complete their bachelor's. It's really nice to be graduating from college, when other people your age are graduating from high school!
An Opportunity and a Challenge As outsiders in the education establishment, homeschoolers sometimes face a credibility gap. While this needn't affect our educational choices, it's nice to be able to go above and beyond the ordinary in providing objective proof of learning. College-level exams and community college classes are cheap, accessible ways of earning college credit and proving that homeschoolers can teach themselves nearly anything they want to know.
When you decide to homeschool through high school, you have already made one non-traditional educational choice. By taking it a step farther, you can open to the door to some wonderful options that will help your student make the most of the teen years. Together, you and your teen can choose a homeschool experience that prepares them to soar. Are you ready to get a jump-start on college?
Does you starter make a *click* sound when you try to start your vehicle?
Each time you turn the ignition switch to start, does the starter just *click* one time?
That is probably the starter solenoid.
If it goes, *click-click-click-click*, and so on, it may just be a low battery.
A low battery that makes the starter *click* a few times doesn't have enough *juice* in it to turn the starter over to turn the flywheel over to turn the crankshaft over to make the engine start...phew!
A simple way to tell if the battery is at fault is to turn the headlights on and turn the ignition switch to start.
If the lights go out, then the battery is probably at fault.
Course, you'll have to run real fast after you hit the start position in order to see if the lights go out...or have someone out there watching for you.:-)
You can purchase a small inexpensive battery charger at most malls, or parts store.
The best way to use a *trickle* chargers is to charge the batter all night, or all day, whichever pleases you.
You can try charging the battery. If it runs down again, then you need to do something.
Remove the battery terminals from the battery post, if you have the *post* type, and clean the post and the inside of the cable clamp.
If you have the side mount just loosen the 8mm bolt and clean the terminal where it comes into contact with the battery. Clean the part on the battery, too. :-)
Sometimes the battery will build up a lot of corrosion on the outside of the cable clamp.
When this happens, usually, the inside part of the clamp and post will create a hard metallic-like surface.
This stops the flow of electricity from the alternator to the battery.
When you use the battery's reserve, it's gone, no more being put in.
If the vehicle does crank, it will run off the alternator, which ain't good. :-(
If cleaning the post and recharging the battery doesn't solve the problem, you may need a new one.
Don't run to the nearest *convenience store* and buy a battery.
Take your battery to a place that sells batteries and have it checked.
If it is gone to where old dead batteries go, then you will have to purchase a new one.
You may have other problems...like the alternator; the tension on the alternator belt... several things could make the battery be low...did you leave the parking lights on when you parked, to go shopping? :-)

Improve Your Vertical Jump? 2 Exercises to Gain Inches on Your Vertical
So many athletes want to know how to improve the vertical jump. Let's face it...even if it doesn't make you any better at your particular sport, being able to jump high as flat out fun.
What are the best workouts to gain hops?
#1) Depth jumps
All you need for these is a tall object (maybe 2 feet high). Then you stand on top of it, step off and instantly spring back on it. This is incredible for developing explosive muscle power. Few things top plyometrics to jump higher and this is at the top of the list.
#2) Weight lifting
Lunges, squats and dead lifts in particular are excellent for helping improve your muscular force and therefore their jumping ability. No matter how fast your muscles are, if you don't have the strength needed get yourself in the air your hops will be very limited.
The ONLY WAY weight lifting will work...
The key in these 3 workouts is to lift as much weight as you can do 6-8 reps with. Do each rep as forcefully and quickly as possible. Many people recommend going slowly with weight lifting but this is more appropriate for endurance training.
Be cautious when starting out
With any of them make sure you get the form right before starting out. All of these have the potential to cause some serious damage when done wrong so be certain you are employing the right technique before starting your regime.
Don't forget about stretching...
This is critical for fending off nagging injuries. However, most athletes hurt themselves by stretching the wrong way.
What TO AVOID when stretching
Stay away from jogging or jumping rope for 2-3 minutes before exercising simply because it wears you out, and you won't be at your peak for the actual workout.
Dynamic stretching is king
I would also focus only on dynamic stretches and save the static stretches until the end. These tips are how to improve the vertical jump now.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing - Dark Arsenal Video Clips.
And it's going to be another tour at Final Fortress, brought to you by Robotnik Ltd.! Dark Arsenal, what I like to say as "the second of Final Fortress in the game". It's neutral in my book and it definetly is longer than it's starter track counterpart and has actually two shortcuts in it. YES, TWO SHORTCUTS. You did not read this wrong or anything. It's real. While they're not the most easily spottable, they sure are effective and can really cut the seconds in Time Trials. One can be found soon after the starting line and later on a bit after half-way of the track it is possible to go for another jump (from another small ramp). If you manage to feel the wind and land on solid ground, gongratulations. The racer is none other, than Opa-Opa. Yes, it's Opa-Opa, from Fantasy Zone! The original was first made for Arcades and it seems to be a scrolling shooter. Opa-Opa is being controlled by the player, fighting nonsensical invader enemies in groups. As for Opa-Opa's stats, it is another character who is NOT affected by roads of any kind. It can fly on any surface in the game. It's Acceleration and Handling are top notch and it's Turbo-Boosts charge very quickly. Speed is what Opa-Opa is lacking, but I guess all that agility makes up for it. It might be tough to control Opa-Opa when performing tricks and such things, because Opa-Opa is using itself clearly. It swings and makesloops and barrel rolls. Don't worry, it's just like as if Sonic jumped out of a car during a track. But ...

Signs of Romantic Attraction - 3 Ways Women Show They Are Attracted to You
If you're going to get that girl, you first must make her attracted to you. Once you have attraction, then you can build comfort with her and ultimately become romantic with her. So the question is, how do I know if she's into me or attracted to me?
Use the power of observation. I'll show you what I mean in this article.
There are three areas where a woman will show interest. The first is the words she uses. The second is the tonality of her voice The third is her body language. It's important you know all three, so you can observe each of these when you're checking your attraction radar.
Let's start with the words. Women who begin to become attracted to you will want to know more about you. They'll ask you questions such as how old you are, what your hobbies and aspiration are and so forth.
However, just because they ask these things doesn't mean their attracted to you. Sometimes they just use them for conversation starters. That's why you must also listen to their voice. If they sound bored when they say these things, then they're not attracted to you, they're just trying to be polite.
Let's talk a little bit about body language. Here's what I like to do, I run a compliance tests. If it's a woman I just met, I start small. I might say, hold out your hand. If she doesn't, it's because I likely don't have any attraction yet.
But if she does, then she's probably into me. Then I'll build up the compliance tests, and I'll also reward her for jumping through my hoops. The more hoops she ends up jumping through, and the bigger those hoops are, the more attraction she has for me.
Pay attention to body language, it's the most important aspect. Women who become attracted to you simply look at you in a different way. Pay attention to how they're looking at you. If you notice that their gaze has changed, then it's because their feeling for you have changed.
Finally, pay attention to behavior. Do they somehow act different around you? Again, feelings change behavior. However, this is a two way street. She might become withdrawn from you because she's attracted to you, and is afraid to do something to lose that attraction. Or she might become withdrawn because she's not interested in you.
That's why it's important to notice all the different signs, when gaging romantic attraction.

Charm bracelets can be funky and fun, or they can be formal and fashionable. They are usually comprised of bulkier chains which can carry the weight of the charms and the "jump rings" used to attach them. This sort of bulkiness often makes them difficult to wear with lighter or more delicate garments, and many people bemoan just how easily a charm might fall from the bracelet without the wearer ever noticing the event.
So, is there a way to wear charm bracelets with any type of garment and without the risk of costly loss? Yes, there are bracelets. These are just as customized as a standard charm bracelet, but they rely upon a much more innovative and streamlined design.
For instance, instead of looking to the hefty chains and jump rings, the bracelets use a patented base that includes a threaded end and special "clips" to keep the charms secure and in place. Because of this, the bracelets never feature the standard "chain" design and are instead available as silver and gold "serpent" chains, colored cotton cords, and durable leather braids. They can be clasped with a lobster clasp, or they can rely on the special barrel clasp that gives the look of a gold or silver bead.
Charm bracelets must all include at least two of the unique "clips" which close over the threaded ends of the bracelet and prevent the bracelet from unwinding and the beads from being lost. This is much more attractive than the standard security clasps of so many other styles of jewelry.
Not only are charm bracelets innovatively designed, but the number of beads, clips, and charms available currently stands at more than nine hundred! This makes it quite clear that almost any budget or any design is possible.
There are precious metal beads, glass and wooden beads, gemstone charms, solid gold or silver charms, and more. The spacer beads can be somewhat plain or they can feature patterns, designs, and ornamentation with precious and semi-precious stones. They can be made from glass blown into patterns and motifs, and they might also be made from exotic woods that are sustainably harvested from rain forest locations.
The charms can be found in almost any motif or style, and there are also large assortments of themes that include major life events, holidays, special occasions, animals, letters, and birthstones among dozens of others. There are also pre-packaged gift sets that make an ideal "starter kit" for a unique bracelet too.
Here we got information on a skateboard trick called a heelflip. Listen up to what this ole trick entails, then get out there and give it a go!
The heelflip is not a direct descendant of the ollie if ya know what I mean, but is the opposite of a kickflip as the board spins towards the toes, rather than away from them. I hope that this is clear! Well it will be as we continue.
Now here is what we call the regular, standard, basic, and any other word that may come to mind, heelflip:
OK, the front foot should be placed towards the heel side edge of the board not too far forward, and the back foot must be placed right on the tail of the board, but at a slight angle.
So with the first move you are popping the tail of the board with your back foot, and jumping up into the air.
With the same movement slide your front foot out diagonally so the board starts spinning as you lean over the board.
So with your front foot over the top bolts you kick so the deck spins fully and you get your feet out of the way as it spins around.
You then catch the board and roll away. If you can stop the board spinning while your feet are still in midair then all the better too.
So that folks is the basic heelflip, which with a little bit of work on your part is a pretty damn cool trick to know. There are a host of variations on the heelflip, but I am saving them for a rainy day!
These include the double heelflip, triple heelflip, varial heelflip, 180 heelflip, 360 heelflip and many more.
Get the basic one right and then you can graduate to a few of the many variations of this.

So you're interested in growing plants indoors? Well... that's not actually shocking as growing plants indoors are becoming a trend nowadays, most especially with fluorescent grow lights. More and more are being propelled to build a miniature garden in their basement, garage or even in their attics.
But hold your horses-there are a few things that starters need to hear about. Most people think growing plants indoors is a very easy undertaking but the fact is, many people fall short because of jumping in the bandwagon straightforwardly and failing to run over the steps one at a time.
What You Need To Know When Using Fluorescent Grow Lights
First things first - now that you have finally decided to make use of fluorescent grow lights in growing home plants, decide which plants you want to nurture inside your house. Do research as to how it should be watered, its preferred temperature for growth and how long it will take for you to bear fruits or vegetables. Also make sure that these plants will grow well to the fluorescent grow lights that you are setting up for use.
Watt requirement is a must and this is much different compared to growing plants with natural sunlight. There are area specifications which you have to consider i.e. some plants need at least 60 watts per square foot and you have several square feet of soil... this means you have to do the necessary computations and not just rely on gut feeling that these fluorescent grow lights will work fine on these plants and let the humming and talking-while-you-water-your-plants do the rest. That's certainly not it!
Using fluorescent grow lights alone does not guarantee the success of your production. You also need to make sure how near or far they should be set up from the plants. Do not just hang them in some place and make sure they are all covered with light. Remember, you are using an artificial form of light which is way weaker than natural sunlight.
If you get the correct timing and fluorescent grow lights for your indoor greenhouse, you have nothing to think about but picking your homegrown fruits and vegetables; and having your family experience how great these would taste! These lights are a blessing to many, especially to the vegetarian consumers. Mixing up a fresh bowl of salad during the peak of the winter will surely make you feel good and satisfy your fresh veggie cravings!
Best Diets To Lose Weight Quickly - What Really Works
It can be so easy to fall for the latest diet fad because everybody seems to want diets that will make them lose weight quickly. Advertisers spend billions of dollars of weight loss gimmicks that only end up frustrating or disappointing the consumer. You might see an infomercial on television late at night and get excited about the prospect of losing weight, or many times the internet will display the same diet pill ads that get you to try the free trial, only to have monthly payments of .99 into eternity. The reasons that these advertisements work on the consumer is that we spend much of our time eating all of the wrong foods, sitting in front of the television for countless hours, and not doing the things that could actually help us to experience permanent weight loss.
When we see the ads, we generally jump on them because we want a quick fix. With weight loss, there is no quick fix and your desire to lose weight will take effort and work. The following are a few tips for what really works with weight loss.
One of the most important factors critical to your success will be a proper diet. You need to toss the junk food, processed foods, and fast food. When you are trying to lose weight, cookies, chips, and fried foods are not your friend. Low fat diets or low carbohydrate diets are often suggested to dieters, and controlled portions are also popular. Diet plans like Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, and Weight Watchers provide busy people trying to lose weight with prepackaged food options that control fat and calories to help shed the pounds. I often wonder what happens to most people when they no longer subscribe to the prepackaged diet meals, and if their weight rebounds once they are off of the diet plan.
The best diet to lose weight quickly that I subscribe to is not one where I pay any monthly fees. I simply spend more time in the produce aisle in my grocery store. A simple low-fat, low calorie diet is sufficient, and should include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and fresh foods. You can watch the calorie count on diet meals available in the frozen food section of your local supermarket. When dieting, you should also not deprive yourself with food. Simply find healthy alternatives to foods that you tend to enjoy. I like ice cream and chocolate, so I have learned to buy sherbet, and add fresh fruit and lemon juice to make smoothies. I also crave chocolate, and high fiber bars or chocolate protein bars are great for satisfying my cravings. The trick is to find foods that are good for you and relatively low in fat and calories.
Your next step in taking off the pounds for good is to create an exercise plan for yourself that you can enjoy. I like to walk, and I am learning to run so I purchased a treadmill that I use at least 5 nights a week for at least 50 minutes a session. You don't have to spend money on an expensive piece of exercise equipment to start working out. Simply step outside into the fresh air and begin to walk around your neighborhood. Time yourself, and pick up the pace. Cardiovascular exercise is best for burning fat and calories, and you can do anything from riding a bike to swimming. Finding an exercise that you enjoy and will do regularly is key to your success in weight loss.
