I sometimes struggle in sessions with earth grand trines because so much of a session is conversation and the languages of an earth grand trine happen to be silent. It’s like they know and have realized beauty without needing to talk about it. There’s a subtle grace to an earth grand trine. They’re not afraid to spend an entire day dancing and moving and they don’t believe in not being good at movement. Earth grand trines know that they have bodies and they’re not afraid to be substantial. I’ve never talked to a single earth grand trine person who didn’t have body wisdom. They accept the world and they grow enough food to feed their whole house in their gardens when they get access to land. They accept their bodies, noticing every movement and pulse. They accept people in this way, keeping friends for decades and decades. They move by accepting things and keeping them until those things have changed just by being with them. Because they know what it is they’re doing, moving with quiet self assuredness, they don’t need to do anything special to lead you there with them.Įarth grand trines are keepers of things. The other thing about earth grand trines is that they tend to be doms. I envy the patience of an earth grand trine. ![]() Earth grand trines assume that we will have time to talk about what it is we are here to talk about and they’re in no particular rush. They know that time is not something that disappears but something that elongates when it is fed. The world, no matter how impatient or hurried I felt, skids to a stop when we start speaking. I can always feel it when a client has an earth grand trine. They’re not organizers because they jump into action or because they are especially gifted at persuasion-they’re organizers because they are able to get people to arrive at the same place and they’re especially able to do the challenging act of getting them to stay there.

![]() The perfectly ergonomic proportions of this guitar really make it one of the most playable guitars I have ever held in my hands.įender Duo-Sonic HS dimensions are 42.10 x 15.20 x 4.50 inches, and the guitar weighs 9.78 pounds. It’s a solid body guitar that feels incredibly friendly in your hands mainly due to the great shape, perfect size, and smooth satin finish of its C-shaped maple neck. The Fender Duo-Sonic HS is a beautiful, very traditionally looking guitar with a characteristic thin waist of an offset instrument. Let’s focus on each of its features one by one to explore this instrument in detail. This guitar might be forever overshadowed by the legendary Stratocaster or Telecaster series, but I truly believe that in some regards, this might be the best choice for many different types of players. Those are the three superlatives that immediately come to my mind when I think of Fender’s Duo-Sonic HS. Stunningly beautiful, incredibly playable, and exceptionally versatile. ![]() Master Volume + Tone, three-way toggle switch Here’s a shortlist of core specifications that make this guitar what it is: Key specifications of Fender Duo-Sonic HS Bridge typeĪ single-coil neck pickup + a tappable humbucker bridge pickup The Fender Duo-Sonic HS we are focusing on in this review was first released in 2016 as a 24-inch scale remake with a characteristic pickup setup that attracts mostly those who are keen to experiment and broaden their creative horizons. Thanks to its great popularity, the model was reissued in three updated versions and several modern remakes. Originally produced and promoted as a student guitar, Duo-Sonic went on to exceed all the expectations and attracted many professionals including some of the greatest guitarists of all time. Original Fender Duo-Sonic presented a simple yet perfectly efficient electric guitar of a ¾ size with two vintage-style single-coil pickups. Is it the right guitar for you? Read our Fender Duo-Sonic HS review for all the details. This modern remake of a classic vintage guitar originally presented in 1956 offers exceptional playability and superb sound supported by its great pickup configuration. There are so many pickups out there.If you’re looking for a compact electric guitar with a great reputation and tons of character, Fender Duo-Sonic HS should definitely be on your radar. What styles do you want out of this guitar and what amps and pedals do you have? That can narrow it down a lot. ![]() Manlius Hot Shot 69 is also a good choice, again a hand wound pickup for $60 and you can talk to the guy personally to make sure what you're doing is balanced and gonna give you what you want. If I got that studbucker in the bridge and had your guitar I would pair it with a hotter, 70s style strat pickup, like the Lace Sensor Silver or hot gold if I wanted to be a little more 60s. SD makes a humbucker called the stag mag which is the same idea but I like manlius cuz it's a hand wound pickup for $95 and he'll make adjustments custom for you like if you want it hotter for example.He knows his stuff and if you tell him what you want he will come up with the right thing. The trick with this pickup is that it uses the kind of magnets that fender single coils use (how the metal is cut) which (to me) made it sound more fendery. I had one in the neck of a jaguar I had because I wanted to retain some of the "fender-ness" of the guitar in the neck and middle positions with a contrasting, more traditional sounding humbucker in the bridge. Easy for a pickup that size to sound thin, a bit tougher to sound thick.įor the humbucker i would recommend the stud bucker from manlius. The way I would look at it is do I want a thin tone or a thick tone since that's gonna be the biggest difference. You always can look up the spec of the pickup and measure your guitar.Īs for what one to get, it really depends on what your bridge pickup is and what kind of tone you want out of the neck. I can very well be wrong, but on modern mustangs and duo sonics, a standard strat sized single coil will fit. The Duo-Sonic has mustang pickups in it I believe. ![]() Letting go when manifesting your ex back, or any other specific person is very important. There are many affirmation success stories out there, and using methods like this is part of the reason why! You can also use positive affirmations in your scripting to help you really tap into the feeling of having what it is that you’re trying to manifest. How are you feeling, what’s the temperature, what are the different sounds around you? Make is as realistic as you can. When you’re scripting, be sure to use as much detail as you can. The Universe is always responding to how we feel. If you can picture it at the same time, then that’s a great bonus too!Īlso like we mentioned with visualizing, feeling the experience as if it’s really happening for you is super important here too. It’s a bit like I explained with visualization, except this time you’re writing it out instead of picturing it. With scripting, what you’re going to do is grab a notebook and hand write out scenarios with your specific person or ex. You can also layer up your methods and try multiple. If you feel like you’re not great with visualization, or have a hard time connecting with it, scripting is another popular method to try. Scripting is another great way to manifest a specific person, especially when manifesting your ex back. If you’re manifesting someone specific while you’re visualizing, feel free to use their image and their name, but the most important part is feeling the feeling as if you’re already in that situation in your physical reality. You really want to make sure you don’t have negative thoughts happening throughout this process. If you’re manifesting someone new though, use your imagination. How are you feeling in this moment? What does it feel like to be wrapped in their arms? Some of this may come easier to you if you’re manifesting your ex back since you already know how that feels. When you’re visualizing your relationship, picture a scene that you would love to have play out. So when you’re working on your manifesting, you need to really focus on how you are feeling in this relationship.Ī great way to do this is by visualizing. You don’t want to spend all of your time attracting in someone who could be toxic for you. When you’re manifesting a relationship with anyone, the main goal should be how you feel with the person. Visualizing to Manifest Your Specific Person The dry climate has protected the classic steel, with no history of rust or prior accident damage. I usually avoid describing any classic as perfect, but this SS is one of the nicest I have seen in a long time. I would wager it spends its downtime in this garage, helping to protect it from the New Mexico sun that can wreak havoc on paint. The overall impression is positive, with the paint shining beautifully and no evidence of issues with the vinyl or stripes. Its Midnight Bronze paint is a subtle shade contrasted by the Beige vinyl top and matching hood stripes. Some vehicles manage to look bold and muscular but classy, and this El Camino is a perfect example. It could be yours for $31,000, and I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Pat L. ![]() The seller listed it here on Craigslist in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It is a stunning and highly-optioned survivor needing a new home. Roll the clock forward thirteen years, and the company had turned its attention to producing high-performance examples like this 1972 SS 454. ![]() The Aussie “ute” caught the buying public’s imagination, with companies like Chevrolet introducing their iconic El Camino in 1959. ![]() Vehicles like this 1972 Chevrolet El Camino SS 454 perfectly demonstrate the original concept of the “coupe utility.” Ford designed the original Australian-developed “coupe utility” following consultation with a farmer’s wife who sought a vehicle to take their pigs to market during the week but could take her and her husband to church on Sunday in style and comfort. ![]() It has been shaped by various civilizations and cultures throughout the years, resulting in a unique numerical system that is still used today. The Spanish numerical system has a fascinating history that dates back centuries. Practice incorporating them into your conversations and writing to reinforce your understanding. Learning how to use ordinal numbers in Spanish will enhance your ability to communicate and express the order of events or objects. (I’m going to arrive second at the contest.) It’s important to note that ordinal numbers agree in gender and number with the noun they modify, so they can change accordingly. However, there are some exceptions, such as primero for 1st, tercero for 3rd, and décimo for 10th. ![]() To form ordinal numbers in Spanish, you generally add -o to the cardinal number. Here is a chart of the ordinal numbers in Spanish: Number They are essential for describing the order of events or objects in a sentence. Ordinal numbers in Spanish are used to indicate the position or order of something. For example, “dieciséis” means sixteen, “veintiuno” means twenty-one, and so forth.īy practicing and understanding the pattern of cardinal numbers in Spanish, you’ll be able to confidently count and express quantities in the language. After number 15, the numbers are formed by combining the individual words for the tens and units. For example, “once” means eleven, “doce” means twelve, and so on. For numbers 11 to 15, the word “diez” (ten) is combined with the numbers uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco to form the new word. Practice saying these numbers out loud to familiarize yourself with the pronunciation.įurthermore, it’s important to note that Spanish cardinal numbers follow a consistent pattern. Here is a chart of the cardinal numbers in Spanish: NumberĪs you can see, the numbers from 0 to 10 in Spanish are essential to master as they are the foundation for larger numbers. Cardinal numbers are used to count objects or people, and they follow a specific pattern in the Spanish language. Learning cardinal numbers in Spanish is crucial for basic conversational skills. For example, 50 is cincuenta, which literally translates to “five tens.” They are formed by combining the words for the tens place (cincuenta, sesenta, setenta, ochenta, noventa) with the word for ten (diez). By memorizing these numbers, you will expand your vocabulary and gain a deeper understanding of the language.īelow, you will find a table that lists the numbers from 50 to 100 in Spanish: Spanish NumberĪs you can see, the numbers from 50 to 90 follow a similar pattern. In this section, we will continue our journey of learning Spanish numbers by exploring how to say numbers from 50 to 100 in Spanish. ![]() The more you incorporate these numbers into your daily life, the more comfortable you’ll become with using them. Challenge yourself by counting objects around you or asking someone the time. Now that you know the numbers from 21 to 50 in Spanish, it’s time to practice using them in everyday situations. With regular practice and exposure to Spanish, you’ll soon become fluent in these numbers. For numbers 30 and above, the word “y” is used to connect the tens and units place, similar to how “and” is used in English. It’s important to note that the numbers from 21 to 29 follow a pattern where “veinti” is added before the corresponding number. “By mastering the numbers from 21 to 50, you’ll be able to count, tell time, and engage in basic conversations more confidently.” “Learning numbers in Spanish is an important step in your language journey,” says Maria Ramirez, a Spanish language teacher. Let’s take a look at the chart below to see how to say the numbers 21 to 50 in Spanish: Number These numbers follow a consistent pattern, which makes them relatively easy to learn. Once you have mastered the numbers from 1 to 20 in Spanish, it’s time to move on to the next set of numbers – 21 to 50. I’ve been making little hints and references here and there to a language learning app we’re in the process of designing. ![]() So what if there was a way to study our target languages without having to use our eyes? Enter audio-only flashcards Clearly, a lot of us struggle with spending lots of time in our cars, and we’re bored, and many of us would like to learn stuff during that time. Target language music doesn’t give you a lot of high-end input (you tend to listen to the music more than the words), and target language podcasts/radio stations are really challenging for beginners and intermediates.īut your questions and my experiences planted a seed. The best audio-only tools out there for beginners are the Pimsleur recordings, and while they do a good job of using spaced repetition and exposing you to decent language input, they do it with translations. And I’ve never had a great answer for that. So I’ve been listening to podcasts and music in the car, and pushing myself to study while I’m at home.Īt the same time, I’ve fielded a lot of questions from you folks asking about whether there’s anything that YOU can do while sitting in your own cars. It’s harder to get myself to study when I’m working from home all day, and while I do have regular time commuting to appointments and things, I don’t have access to my eyes in the car. I learned so much stuff on that train, and ever since I moved back to the US, I’ve missed my commute. A fixed daily amount of time, access to my phone, my hands, my eyes and my ears, and nothing better to do. ![]() When I was living in Europe, I had a 60-minute train commute every day, and it was glorious for language learning. So strap in you have an overly excited Gabe writing about a fairly straightforward, super-cool idea with a somewhat complicated way to make it work. Then I yelled something like “Holy crap, it WORKS!” and rushed home to write about it. So I drove to an appointment today and studied my Spanish flashcards without actually looking at my phone.

I had enough, so I quit.”ĭominick Cruz explains callout of Monster Energy executive: 'You can't use me to get clout'Īccording to Hendo, Hans told UFC fighters and gym owners that if they worked with Hendo they’d lose their sponsorship contract with Monster. ‘When I tell you do so something you do it?’ You know what, Hans, you have to find someone else you can talk to like that. He told me, ‘When I tell you to do something, you do it.’ I’m a 36-year-old man. because he was going to L.A., and I told him I couldn’t because I was at my nephew’s game. “So he called me when I was at my nephew’s game. When he calls, everything you’re doing, I don’t care if you’re at your wedding, you have to stop everything you’re doing, and you have to attend (to) Hans. It was when he calls you have to stop everything you’re doing – even fighters. ![]() No prior, ‘Hey, man, tomorrow we’re going to L.A.,’ nothing. … I was at my nephew’s football game, and Hans called me that day and said, ‘I need you to come to L.A. “So the way he talked to me in public, around fighters, around other people, it was like I was a kid. “He acts like you’re sh*t, he treats you like you’re nothing,” Hendo said. Hendo also alleged to be mistreated by Molenkamp and even “blackballed” after quitting on him. Hendo claims the relationship went south when he stopped doing fighter shoots and became more of a personal photographer for Molenkamp’s social media. Through his work there, that’s how Hendo met Molenkamp and how he eventually was hired by Monster. Hendo began combats sports photography by taking photos at Alliance MMA in San Diego, Cruz’s home gym. And that was the same thing with me.”ĭominick Cruz had plenty to say about Hans Molenkamp after his win at UFC 259. “If they don’t do that, what happens is that they will lose their contract. They’re forced to do all the antics, get the Monster can kicked out of their hand, and do all this stupid stuff and these crazy, funny videos. He’s the cool guy, but behind the scenes, these guys are forced to interact with him. “If you look at his social media, it seems he’s the cool guy, the fun guy,” photographer Courtney Hendo said in a video on his personal YouTube channel. Now, a former photographer for Monster, who worked closely with Molenkamp, has opened up about his experience and shared more details on the allegations. UFC strawweight Angela Hill opened up about Molenkamp’s tactics used on fighters, as well as former UFC champion Michael Bisping claiming to have been terminated as sponsored athlete for not being Molenkamp’s friend. Since Cruz’s callout, other fighters have opened up about Molenkamp’s alleged malpractice. ![]() Monster is one of the UFC’s and Bellator’s official sponsors, and the energy drink company sponsors many athletes in MMA. Fresh off his decision win over Casey Kenney, Cruz challenged Molenkamp to a charity boxing fight in the wake of feeling used by Molenkamp, as he claims to have been forced to promote Molenkamp’s social media profile in order to avoid his Monster sponsorship contract being terminated.

Every receiver set and stock and handguard is selected from hundreds of other parts to fit perfectly. Now Cobalt Kinetics are one of those quiet gunmakers that have made stunning rifles and carbines based on the AR platform, but really drive things forward in a thoroughly modern and purposeful way! They believe that form should always follow function… except when that mantra overtly opposes art! At Cobalt Kinetics, as they say in their own words “sometimes we let form determine and define function”.Įvery part they make is inspected at five stages during manufacture and assembly. ![]() This in itself is genuinely exciting, but when some of these race concepts are transferred to our everyday rifles and carbines it can have a profound effect on the basest of models.Īnd one such rifle which I first saw as a concept at IWA a couple of years back is a collaboration between Taiwanese airsoft giant G&G Armament and a very specific company called Cobalt Kinetics in the USA the result is an airsoft rifle that would be equally at home in a competition or on the skirmish field! Artistry, attitude, performance! Competitive designs can differ massively from stock ones, with additional functionality and new ergonomics in place specifically to aid rapid target to target transitions and ease of operation. Whilst it is true that airsoft continues to be a game played by and large by folk running around in the woods at the weekend in their favourite insert camo of choice shooting at one another with BBs, the Practical Pistol, and indeed Three Gun side of 6mm-slinging is thriving, and to my mind it is an incredibly positive thing!Īnd, of course, this competitive focus is driving manufacturers in new and exciting directions, and whilst I do not intend to compete myself, those new designs and new directions that I’m seeing in relation to electric airsoft rifles are really exciting. I am going to come out and say that I am absolutely, 100% NOT any kind of competition, apart from perhaps when it’s a quid in the hat at my local club! That said I firmly believe that when it comes to airsoft the competition side of things has changed dramatically in the last few years, and with the recent Airsoft Surgeon event alongside the BSS in Birmingham I also believe that this shows a fabulous side of airsoft to the shooting community as a whole! ![]() In each kind of relationship, intimacy will look different. The distinction comes from which type of intimacy you are experiencing. While it isn’t exclusive to romantic relationships by any means – it is normal to have some level of intimacy in platonic and familial relationships – intimacy is a key indicator of romantic attraction. Intimacy is associated with positive emotions and is considered one of the biggest rewards to humans in pursuit of maintaining close relationships. Through mutual acceptance, and valuing one another (or showing respect), we can build intimacy with others. It is defined as a positive emotional bond producing feelings of understanding and support that are backed by behavior patterns. The innate desire to be seen as who we are is what steers the emotional attachment termed "intimacy." As social creatures, this is something we all long for in some form. Deciding what to do with this tension will be up to you there is no one right answer for every situation, though there are factors to consider. When someone knows you deeply (and vice versa) it can be hard not to become attracted to them knowing someone for a longer amount of time can increase their attractiveness. If you realize that you’re attracted to your friend, know that this is normal. However, over time, romantic feelings may start to grow, which can be disconcerting or confusing. You may feel more comfortable interacting with someone that you consider more of a good friend than a potential romantic partner.
