![]() You need 100,000 points for the platinum. Next is the Spin Tutorial, very easy if you use a little trick. But keep going at it and you’ll get it eventually. This is a very challenging platinum and will likely take a couple of hours. Then gun it towards the other gate and keep held down as you begin the next drift. What I found worked best was as soon as you come out the other gate of the drift, let up off the gas to straighten yourself back out. You need to drift hard and use the to maintain your drift throughout. If you miss a drift and earn no points, you may as well restart. Max is 5,000, but you need to score at least 4,000 the majority of the time (you can maybe get away with one or two 3,000s). Each time you drift through a gate or between markers, you’ll gain points. Then drive to the gate in front of you and repeat. You need to be drifting as you pass under a gate and continue drifting all the way around (staying in between the markers), out of the gate on the other side. In order to earn the platinum, you’ll be drifting in a figure of eight through the gates. As soon as you’re able to drive, press to switch to second gear and stay in that gear the entire time. Most importantly, pause the event when it starts and select Options, then Controls, and change to Manual transmission. This tutorial is extremely difficult to platinum, you’ll need to score 145,000 points. Next is the Drift Tutorial, this is the hardest platinum in the game. Just make sure to hit the jumps straight on and you should have no problem netting the platinum. All the jumps after the first should be 10,000 points. The trick is to let up off the gas when you begin your drift, then when you’ve almost turned 180 degrees, hold down the gas to hit the next jump with enough power. On the first jump, score 5,000 points then drift as soon as you land. This one is much easier than the previous tutorial. Next is the Jump Tutorial, you’ll need 45,000 points to score platinum. Go up the ramp, smash the signs atop the containers and after the last two, keep left to go down another ramp to smash the final sign. After fully circling around the second concrete pipe, smash the signs ahead while drifting to the right to turn 180 degrees. When you come back around, drive to the right of the buried pipes you drove through and circle around the two smaller concrete pipes (approach them from the left and drift to begin driving around them, being sure to hit every sign). The route to take: start by driving through the large buried pipes ahead, then drifting right and smashing all the signs along the outside. Just remember you can use five flashbacks. ![]() You have to hit every sign and aren’t given any extra time for mistakes. This one is pretty difficult and will definitely take you multiple tries. First is the Smash Tutorial, which you’ll need to score 200,000 points for platinum. There are five tutorials and you need to earn platinum on all of them for an achievement. You have drifted past 25,000 points in a Drift Showcase DC Challenge Just try to keep drifts going and drift as much as possible and you’ll eventually get the platinum and unlock: After quite a few attempts, I made those two adjustments and was able to get it within a couple of tries.ĭon’t worry about driving off the cliff or the road, as you’ll still get your points and you’ll respawn back on the track. Before you start, go into Vehicle Setup and change Downforce to High and Ride Height to Low. You’ll need 26,000 points for the platinum and this one is more difficult than the first. The next DC Challenge will be the second Drift Showcase. With a little bit of persistence, you’ll eventually reach enough points to earn the platinum. Then hold down the gas and use the to maintain the drift.ĭo this for each turn and at the end, circle around the pillar and come back, drifting again around each turn. ![]() Best way to do this is when you’re beginning a turn, let up off the gas and press into the turn (the longer you hold it, the harder the drift). Use the handbrake to drift around turns, trying to maintain a drift throughout each one. You’ll need to score 15,000 drift points for the platinum. This requires a bit of skill and may take a couple of attempts to earn platinum. You’ll need to platinum all of these for an achievement. The event after this will be your first DC Challenge. For the third event in the Brembo Blast triangle, choose the 90’s class to work towards another achievement. ![]()

After Sheldon wants John to visit him, against Mary's will, John comes over later to see Sheldon. After Meemaw hangs up, she is still upset the next day. This leaves Meemaw upset and threatens to call Ira to call him for a date, in which John naively encourages. After dinner, at Meemaw's house, John reveals that he feels like they shouldn't continue their romantic relationship and would be happy if they remained friends. In the episode " A Pineapple and the Bosom of Male Friendship", John is discharged from the mental institution and visits the family shortly after. It's revealed at the beginning of Season 3 that he was placed in a mental institution following his breakdown and as a result Sheldon is no longer his student. Later, when Mary Cooper went to console Sheldon at his Nobel listening party (which no one came to), she told him that John wouldn't be there because "he's not feeling well." She was able to talk him down and took him inside, as he lamented the fact that he hadn't, and likely never would, win the Nobel Prize, but expressed confidence that Sheldon would do so one day. After missing a dinner date and finding out that he missed several of his classes, she found him on the roof of his apartment building in the middle of a psychotic episode, attempting to "become one" with quarks and neutrinos. He tried to commandeer the university's mainframe computer (and ran when discovered), and Meemaw found him outside her house late at night, plucking goosegrass out of the lawn one blade at a time. In the second season finale, " A Swedish Science Thing and the Equation for Toast," the impending Nobel Prize ceremony appeared to have triggered an episode of psychosis. John's eccentricity may be masking a more serious mental health issue. ![]() Also similar to Sheldon, he has a poster of Richard Feynman in his room and attempts to emulate the famed physicist's lifestyle, such as only having one flavor of ice cream for dessert over the past thirty-five years (in order to have one less decision in his life). Sturgis shares many characteristics with his little counterpart: comfort with rules attention to safety penchant for dispensing knowledge and confusion regarding social interactions. Meemaw describes him as "a brilliant, bicycle-riding teddy bear" and, further, has elucidated he is "smart as hell, gentle, and funny (not always on purpose)." Meanwhile, George Cooper Sr. He knows how to cook Szechuan cuisine using his travel wok, due to his biking through China. He is eccentric, wears a tweed jacket with elbow patches, and rides a Schwinn Speedster since he doesn't drive.

John enthusiastically seeks romantic aid via the ever-prying Sheldon, who steps over bounds interfering with their courtship. ![]() Sturgis is instantly smitten with Sheldon's Meemaw and they begin dating, much to Sheldon's approval.

How is this situation different from past projects? If you find yourself caught with ANTs like these, breaking down the situation into “tasks” may help shift your mindset away from the predominant mood controlling your thoughts.įor example, evaluate why the situation is causing you to think “I’m going to mess this up” before you begin. Try to remember what you were thinking at the time. This is the most important step in your thought record: List the thoughts and images that popped into your mind relating to that situation. What are the automatic thoughts running through your mind? The main point of rating them is to see how much of your thoughts were influenced by a specific type of mood - an anxious mood versus a guilty one, for example. The percentage doesn’t have to be perfect - just go with your gut. Irritation and guilt would then fill up the remaining 20 percent. In this case, if nervousness - which falls into anxiety - is your predominant mood, you’d rate it around 80 percent.

Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. Add the shredded cooked chicken, chicken broth, evaporated milk, and can of cream of chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often until tender, about 6-8 minutes. Add vegetables onion, celery, carrots and garlic. I prefer to make my own chicken broth by cooking a whole chicken. In a large heavy bottomed pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. In a separate bowl the flour, softened butter, remaining ¼ of chicken stock, and 1/4 cup of Dan-O’s together and knead into a ball.
