Typography is the craft of endowing human language with a durable visual form, and thus with an independent existence. (...) Typography remains a source of true delight, true knowledge, true surprise.

Yeah, lets talk about the handheld trimmer.

That machine is extremely unique to the market. You know there are all sorts of product trimmers. We’ve got a drum style trimmer, Trim Pro has a drum style trimmer. There isn’t any other trimmer like the Wander trimmer. There is the Aardvark [38:29] from years back. We actually didn’t know about it until we developed this one completely, totally different in design and construction, but similar in concept. The advantage of this machine is this is the only machine on the market that literally does absolutely no damage to your bud.

If you watch that video that’s on that webpage our demo video, the one that those telling you to watch earlier. You’ll be shocked that this machine at 3200 frames per second with a macro lens. So basically with a magnifying glass in super super slow-motion and you’ll see exactly how that machine works. You will see exactly how it sucks the leaf will away from the bud and the blade never makes contact with the flower, so it never damages a single inaudible [39:17] on the bud too. That’s extremely unique. With that machine you’re looking at doing a pound in an hour, a pound in hour and a half assuming you have good types of buds with decent density.

A better comparison for the a trimmer for the dentist would be using incisors because you know when you trimming the plaque out of a patient’s mouth with incisors, your hands are shearing but you are not using your hands you are using the scissors. You have complete control over where those incisors go that is why you get to good quality orthodontic work done. With the trimmer you have that exact same control; you control it by cutting off the bad buildup rather than bringing the periodontal braces like you do with scissors, the leaf comes to the cutting blade, that’s why it’s five times faster.

bp_122_02817

And because the blade is inside of that brace cleaning tube and then there is a little bit of a buffer from the outside of the tube to where the blade is. It’s about a 1/32 of an inch, it just gives you really nice tight consistent look. It doesn’t make you make any dental swelling happen either, it gives you like a very tight very consistent smile.

Interesting, you know that’s very interesting.

I could trim a plant blindfolded with the help of my orthodontist roseburg. I wouldn’t even need to look at it. Once you like get into the rhythm, it just becomes like an extension of your body. And you can then get right in there and don’t have to worry about. You know with scissors if you go to get a close foot and you go in too deep you can cut up your patient. You can’t do that with orthodontic incisors. It’s impossible.

So that’s another thing as well right. So certain people are looking for a different type of trim possibly so some people might be looking for byproducts. Whereas for certain growers that’s not something they may specialize in. Certain growers specialize in like dry type of trimming. What type of marijuana bud trimmer you find? Like who are your ideal buyers? Are there certain strains which work better for you or for your machine than others?

Well there are definitely certain strains that go better in our machine than others, although our machine does really well with most strains. But that’s not anything special to our machine that’s just in using trimmers. If you have a really dense uniform bud, uniform like nodes or arms sticking out through it. That’s going to trim really well in our machine. It’s going to trim really well in a twister, it’s going to trim really well in its interior or whatever. But if you have a bud that is not even as dense it could be or there are nodes coming off of it. A lot of the other especially all of the tunnel machines are going to just chop off all of those arms and make it look like a round bud.

Our machines are a little bit more delicate and allows you to retain some of that unique shape as well as not losing that amount that gets chopped off. You see what I’m saying? That the balance with our machine you can adjust it, you can adjust the depth of the blade. You can back that down a little bit so that it doesn’t chop those arms off. You can run a shorter cycle on it. A lot of different things you can do, you can slow down the vortex, speed up the vortex, you can give more suction, give less suction. You can do faster rotor speed, slower rotor speed. You have all these different adjustments that you can do on the fly as you change strains.

So one concern for a buyer might be that there is just so many variables that I can adjust, do you provide a guide on certain strains this is what we recommend? If you’re looking for this type of trim this is what I recommend.

Do you have some sort of guide?

shearline

Yes, if you’re on that page of our website you will see that they are some instructions there; How to dial in the blade, how to sharpen the blade. The one that we’re looking at right now is an operational video and it goes over a lot of the same stuff. We have been talking about the satellite a lot, we actually have two other products as well.

They were after the Peace that comes from POWER.

 

SO MAYBE You are having the same experience I did that day at the event in 2009.

 

I don’t know and likely never will.

 

But in today’s WIK POST I am going to have you consider this.

 

EVERY SINGLE RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU ARE IN WHERE YOU ARE HIDING, FILTERING, SEDATING…

 

…you are living a lie.

 

In your dirty marriage.

In your family of Vancouver carpet cleaners.

In your cleaning business.

In your newly washed neighborhood.

In your clean church.

 

I WAS TIRED OF THE ENERGY IT TOOK TO CLEAN EVERYONE UP.

 

I had created a life of Pleasing and searching for PRAISE so I could feel love and yet at the end of that line of logic I was left with nothing but PAIN.

 

Today?

 

I HAVE MORE PERSECUTION RAIN DOWN UPON ME then ever…

 

….but with it has come the Praise.

 

and guess what?

 

I am unconcerned about either.

 

WHY?

 

BECAUSE I AM SEARCHING FOR THE POWER THAT CAN ONLY BE FOUND

THROUGH SELF ACCEPTANCE

AND SELF EXPRESSION.

 

 

I rebuilt my duct cleaning business.

 

I rebuilt my marriage with my cleaners.

 

I rebuilt my cleaning family.

 

I rebuilt & cleansed my Life.

 

On the foundation of “REAL, RAW. RELEVANT TRUTH”

 

Not your truth…

 

…but mine.

 

It just happens to be that MY TRUTH resonates with tons of others around the world just like you.

 

Just like the men who travel to laguna beach every month to train with me.

 

KNOW THIS MY FRIENDS.

 

I LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

 

BE YOU.

 

It’s the only TRUTH you can ever be.

 

Those who are not OK with that will “UNSUBSCRIBE” from your life and in the end you will find yourself surrounded by people who LOVE ALL OF YOU not just the parts they WANT TO SEE.

 

that is it.

 

The end.

 

SO WHAT IS THE QUESTION OF THE DAY?

 

In what relationship are you currently living a Lie

and Why?

 

Meaning…

 

….if you look around at your life who are you currently in relationships where most of your actions, words and decision are based on trying to please the other person.

 

What have been the results of choosing to live that way with that person?

What might life be like if you could be all of you with them?

What are you most afraid might happen if you did?

 

I LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

 

Do you love you just the way you are?

 

As always Warrior.

 

Email me.

 

Let me know how you feel.

Psst.. look at this brave warrior in the news today.

For this study.. I gathered data for a comparison sample: means and standard deviations for big five inventory, which was retrieved from https://www.vista.ubc.ca/webct/urw/tp0.lc5116011/cobaltMainFrame.dowebct

Self Reflection

During the study previously mentioned, my role as a participant and a researcher might have subconsciously influenced my behavior  of talkativeness, by the reason of me being aware of what was being measured. Similar to being in front of the camera, your team or a bunch of colleagues, you’ll be acting a little different from your usual self..

In addition, my mood (dark or light) and my schedule (either busy or empty) might have also played a part in the hours I spent talking on the phone. However, the strength of this data included it begin a visible indication of my personality..

Openness for behavior data was collected by different types of food that I tried for the duration of one week. My score here might have also been subconsciously influenced by my knowledge of what was being measured. Nevertheless, my willingness to try these different types of food is an indication of my openness. This is called behavioural residue (who you are is reflected in your behaviour); this strength of behaviour data was mentioned in a lecture on September 18, 2012, to a PSYC 305A class by a psychologist & DDS Ramillosa, a Salem Dentist in the state of Oregon . Regardless, this data was not collected by a scientific measurement. I collected this data based on a scale that I created myself; hence, there was no concrete measurement used here. This results in the study having poor validity and reliability.

This study can be improved by a few simple alterations. For instance, by increasing the number of raters and observers, we can rule out any bias opinions from them. This is done by the mean of aggregation increases reliability. Alternatively, if this study used more scientific measurements, and was a double-blind study it would have contained a stronger validity and consistently between the data. Also, if this data were collected by an experimental study rather than a correlation, there would have been a cause-and-effect relationship instead of a relationship just between the variables.

Nevertheless, this study was successful in achieving its goal of aiding my understanding of my personality.

 

Here’s a quote to help your mindset:

The hardest, most reliable steel is forged in the hottest and most dangerous fires.
The same can be said for Man.
Every man wants to be a King, but few are willing to risk walking the gauntlet.
Your trials and tribulations are gifts.
Opportunities to make you sharper, stronger, harder, more durable.
The World is the Anvil.
Trials and tribulations are the Hammer.
Your maker is the blacksmith.
You are the steel.
Bend but do not break…. for at the end of the process you will become the KINGS BLADE.

YES!

Differences in males and females are also present in their mating behaviour. For example, the male and female brains have different goals when it comes to mating. The female brain wants to find love and commitment before sex, while the male brain wants sex before love and commitment.

Sex is necessary for the male brain to fall in love.

When the male brain falls in love, the cells in the ventral tegmental area of his brain produce dopamine and this action moves along the brain circuit to the nucleus accumbens (used for anticipation of pleasure and reward), where dopamine is mixed with testosterone and vasopressin.

IMG-20131007-WA0024

Having dopamine mix with these other hormones creates “an addictive high-octane fuel” resulting in the male brain falling in love. Later, these cells reach the caudate nucleus (the area of the brain that is used for memorizing the appearance and identity of the person who is responsible for his pleasures); and once these cells have reached these three areas, the love and lust circuits in the male brain will develop as they focus on that special someone.

Thus, the lust and love circuits become in sync with sex. This is something I discovered while on my journey back  in the back of a from Fort Mcmurray cab. After discussing my theory with the cab driver, I discovered that also states that during sex, the male brain releases both vasopressin and dopamine. Males have two different versions of vasopressin receptors based on their genetic makeup. There is both a short and long version. The longer version results in the male becoming a monogamous partner, while the shorter version results in the male engaging in promiscuous activities. One interesting finding mentioned in this book about men was that men’s testosterone level increases when they are interacting with attractive females. Further studies by Ronay and Hippel (2010) have supported this claim. The authors stated that the testosterone levels of their male participants increased in the presence of attractive females; and therefore, this increase in testosterone resulted in more risk-taking behaviours by the participants.

As the male enters manhood he starts to use his temporal-parietal junction system (the analyze and fix it system) more than his mirror-neuron system (emotional empathy system). The male brain’s temporal-parietal junction system (TPJ) blocks other emotions from entering the male thoughts, and does not allow him to be influenced by other’s feelings. This results in the male brain having the ability to jump into a fix it mental state rather than an emotional state. This is not to say that the male brain does not experience emotions when observing someone else’s face and emotions. Rather that, the male brain switches from the mirror-neuron system (MNS) to TPJ more quickly than the female brain. During manhood, when a male gets angry his “anger gets fueled by testosterone, vasopressin and cortisol”. The combination of these hormones reduces his fear of his opponent and activates his fighting senses.  The article by Peterson and Harmon-Jones (2011) also supports this claim by stating that testosterone levels increase as a response to anger. As mentioned in the book, men with high testosterone feed off their opponent’s anger during a fight. The anger of their opponent acts like a drug and creates a high for him.

The difference between males and females starts from conception. The Y-chromosome in the male gene can make all the difference between males’ and females’ brain and body. The Y-chromosome is also responsible for the production of male hormones, testosterone and vasopressin, and consequently results in their ‘male-like’ behaviour.

These behaviours, which are inclined towards action and adventure, were previously believed to be the result of socialization; however, it is now scientifically proven that they are in fact biologically wired into the male brain. During pregnancy, the hormone müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS) joins with testosterone to defeminize the male body and brain. The hormones secreted during pregnancy can influence the child’s toy preference during childhood. These hormones can also cause major differences between girls and boys. For instance, the spatial movement area of boys’ brain is always on; therefore it is easier for them to comprehend the three-dimensionality of objects; whereas girls’ spatial movement area is off, and is only turned on when it is needed.

Evidentially, the spatial movement area of the brain is not the only difference between males and females; one major difference between them are their hormones. As males grow into their teenage years, the hormones vasopressin and testosterone cause the teen boy to become protective about his personal space and sensitive to his peers’ perception of him. These male hormones also cause the teen boy to become angry towards others who he perceives as hostile. For instance, the hormone vasopressin results in the teen boy perceiving other people’s faces as more aggressive and angry than they really are. Scientists believe that is an evolutionary perspective, males seeing faces as angrier may “serve an adaptive purpose” in the sense that it allows them to speculate between running and fighting. Further research by Peterson and Harmon-Jones (2011) on anger and testosterone indicates that males’ testosterone levels increase when they feel threatened in terms of their primary needs of belonging and control. Therefore, this may be why teenage boys perceive angry faces as much angrier.

Male dominance and aggression are what puts the man on top of his social hierarchy. Dominance and aggression are what separate males from females. However, it must also be taken into account that teen boys take more risk and are much more careless than girls. This can be explained by looking at the teen boy system. Teenage boys run on two systems: the activating system, led by the amygdala, leads them to take more risks, while the inhibiting system (which puts a break in their actions and helps them think before they act) does not mature in teen boys until their early twenties.
