Summarize the following:
Come up with a broad selection of characters, drawing inspiration from many different forms of media. For example, you might pick out 1 or 2 characters from various entertainment categories, then narrow down your choices to the one that you think is the most fitting or will be the most fun to realize.  In order to choose the perfect cosplay character, first think about what you like. What is your current obsession? What sorts of things do you most enjoy watching or playing? Questions like these can help you pinpoint a character that best represents your interests. The character you cosplay could be from a TV show, movie, video game, anime, comic book, musical group, or even real life. Once you’ve made up your mind on a character to embody, give some thought to the specific costume design that you like the best. Many characters have more than one outfit or look that they’re known for. This means you have all sorts of options to choose from even after you’ve committed to a character.  If you’re planning on cosplaying Vegeta from Dragonball Z, you might stick with his regular Saiyan armor, or go with a less common variant like his sleeveless blue training outfit or casual pink shirt and yellow pants ensemble.  People will be more likely to recognize you as the main version of your character, but exploring alternate costume ideas can give you the chance to do something unique. You’re also free to invent your own totally original costume concepts by blending themes or elements from different titles and genres, such as Jedi Harry Potter. Analyze every part of your character’s appearance in depth, from their clothing and hairstyle to their secondary features like weapons, armor, accessories, and tattoos. You’ll need to have a detailed picture of these things in mind moving forward in order to construct a costume that’s complete and accurate.  Search the Internet for high-res screenshots that clearly highlight every part of the costume. If you can’t find any good full-body shots, try saving multiple photos that show the character from different angles. There are plenty of 3D models for video game characters available online. These can come in handy for crafting costumes, as they they offer a full 360-degree view of the character. While there’s theoretically no limit to what you can create, some costumes will be easier to bring to life than others. It’s easy enough to decide that you want to be Iron Man, but making it happen is a different story. Keep in mind that you’ll be responsible for buying or making all of the components of your costume.  Don’t forget to consider logistical factors, as well, such as when and where you’ll be sporting your costume. An enclosed bodysuit with a helmet, gloves, and heavy boots may just be too plain hot to wear to a convention in the middle of summer. Challenges can fuel your creativity, but if you can’t think of a good way to make your costume a reality, you may have no choice but to scrap your original idea and go back to the drawing board. Unless you're dressing up for a convention or exhibition intended for adults only, steer clear of gruesome, revealing, or overly-mature costumes. There are likely to be children and families present at most events where people tend to cosplay, and not everyone will be as taken with your presentation as you are.  Check the costume guidelines before you show up. Event organizers sometimes impose rules forbidding attendees from wearing anything that could be seen as crude or offensive.  If you’re not comfortable modeling your costume around your own family, it’s probably best not to wear it to a public event.

summary: Make a list of possible characters that you’re interested in cosplaying. Decide which version of the character to portray. Study images of your chosen character closely. Settle for a costume that you can actually pull off. Make sure your costume is appropriate for any events you might attend.

This method demonstrates the fundamentals of dog training, and how to use them to teach this trick. If you already know how to train your dog but your dog is having trouble with this specific trick, check out the sticky notes method below. Choose a specific reward that the dog enjoys, such as a ball, a plastic bone, or a smelly treat. Show the dog the reward at a time when the dog is attentive, but not overly excited. Command the dog to sit.  If the dog is too energetic, it won't focus on the lesson. Tire it out a little before training, or choose a slightly less exciting reward. If your dog doesn't respond to "Sit," teach your dog that command before you teach it this one. Start waving the reward very slowly on a horizontal line 30 centimeter (11.8 in) in length (about the length of a ruler). This shouldn't look like you're saying no or scolding the dog; it should look as if you're trying to hypnotize your dog. As soon as the dog follows the treat back and forth with its whole head (not just its eyes), reward and praise him. If the dog doesn't follow the movement, let him sniff the object, then try again.  Clicker training makes it much easier for the dog to understand your behavior. The basic idea is to use a "clicker" (or any short, sharp noise) immediately when the dog displays the correct behavior. Do this in addition to giving praise and treats. If your dog doesn't respond to the moving treat, try snapping your own head to one side. If the dog mimics you, say "good head shake!" and give it the reward. This may take several tries or even several training sessions. If the dog still doesn't understand what you want, you may have to wait for the dog to shake its head naturally. Immediately reward the dog for this behavior. Choose "Head shake!" or any other verbal command, but stick to one exact choice of words. Give this command at the same time you wave the treat or move your own head. As before, reward the dog and praise it as soon as it responds correctly. Keep the first session to ten or fewer repetitions, to avoid making the dog tired or bored. Repeat the training daily, but stop each session as soon as the dog starts to tire, looks distracted, or resists your commands (typically within a few minutes). As you continue the daily training sessions, your dog should respond more consistently. Give him time and patience. Some dogs learn much faster than others. End sessions on a positive note whenever possible. Praise the dog for its efforts. As your dog learns the command, repeat it with just a hand motion and a verbal command, without holding a treat. When your dog successfully responds, reward it and praise it as usual. When the dog consistently responds to this, start giving it just the verbal command. Continue the training until it responds to the command alone.

summary: Follow these instructions if you are new to dog training. Get the dog's attention with a reward. Wave the reward slowly back and forth. Move your own head, if necessary. Add the verbal command. Train in short sessions. Train the dog to respond to the command alone.

You can research this online or in a phone directory. Alternatively, start your search online by looking to see if your local dealership has its inventory posted for viewing. This can be a less stressful shopping method because you don't have the pressure of an actual salesperson. You can contact the dealership for additional information by phone or email if you find something that you like. Freight and setup fees are legitimate, but you should not be charged handling fees, administrative fees, or documentation fees. Every dealer receives this score quarterly, and it can give you a good sense of how the dealer treats its customers after sale. You can arrange this either through the dealership or a local lending institution.  Make sure that you have your credit scores reviewed before attempting financing. Don't be afraid to obtain multiple quotes from banks, and then use them as leverage to get a lower rate at the Harley dealership. If possible, use a down payment to offset the financing that you will have to do.
summary: Find a local Harley-Davidson dealership. Visit your area Harley dealership and discuss the bikes they offer, their prices and their financing options with the sales associate(s). Watch out for any hidden fees. Ask to see a copy of the dealer's most recent Harley-Davidson Customer Service Score. Talk with the dealer about financing.
