Waching daily May 26 2017

Hi, Alan Stratton from As Wood Turns. (www.AsWoodTurns.com)

In my woodturning projects, I use several different finishes

generally determined by the type of project it is and the size of the project.

For example, if I want it to be food safe I will use walnut oil or a mix of beeswax and mineral oil.

Hmmm. Smells good. but it is almost time to make some more.

For larger projects, I'll use lacquer or walnut oil

and for smaller projects, I'll use either shellac or lacquer

or there's always an advantage in any project of using beeswax and mineral oil

because it is a good utility finish and doubles as a sanding media

It is also time now to upgrade the containers that I'm using for the finishes

I lost the lid to this one

I lost the lid to this one also.

I did not have a container for my lacquer. I was using it directly from the can.

So, I purchases a kit, a finishing jar kit, from Craft Supplies USA.

and I brought it home. I bought it primarily because I did not think I could get a jar with a handle on it.

Well, it turns out that when I got home, my wife said "hey, I have a half a dozen of these

They are very common in preserving fruit and canning.

So...

This one is a kit.

This one is not a kit.

This one is a spice jar with an acid brush embedded in it.

So I can use it

Actually, I made this cap for the lid to decorate it

but, somehow, it did not get on there when I was gluing it together

So I'll have to use it on a future jar.

So, let's make, today, a kit version,

a non kit version from scratch

and a small spice jar version.

I'm starting with the kit. It comes with a pint jar, wood for the handle, 1 ½" screw,

and a brush with the handle sawn off. I've carefully mounted the brush in long neck jaws

holding on to just the bristles below the metal and centering the cut handle. This should

be enough since the only task here is to drill an 1/8" hole about ¾" deep into the handle.

This is awkward on a lathe but I could not see doing any better on a drill press.

Now for the handle. First, I want to drill the corresponding hole for the screw using

the long neck jaws. Then remount the handle between centers with

the live center in the hole I just drilled. I want a simple shape for the handle. This

is a utility object – The handle does not need to be an intricate finial. I want the

handle to fit my hand with sort of a knob on the top to ensure it does not easily slip

from my hand. After sanding, since this is a utility object,

I'm finishing with beeswax and mineral oil mix, parting off the top, and touching up

the tippy top. To assemble, I'm drilling the lid with the

same 1/8" hole. Then driving the screw half way into the handle. Then a short trip to

the grinder to grind off the screw's head. Finally twist on the brush and it's ready

to fill and use. Next I'm turning the smaller spice jar cover

and brush holder. I'm mounting a scrap piece of walnut in the deep shark jaws. After a

little rounding, I'm cutting a tenon on one end. Whoops it was a little too small.

I need to repeat the tenon a little larger. My tenon template broke – I need to make

a new one. Now, I'm reversing the walnut onto the tenon.

After a little bit of trimming, I'll drill a recess for the jar's lid. The recess will

be a little smaller and shallower than the lid. Then enlarge the recess to fit the lid

with a square corner scraper. Then switch over to a 5/16" drill for the

center. Then I switched to a ¼" drill so the brush handle would be a tight fit.

Now I'm remounting the walnut between centers using the previous mark on the headstock and

the hole for the live center. I'm using a cone for a live center. Now I can shape

a simple cap and integrated handle. Then sand, finish with beeswax and mineral

oil before assembling with a press fit. If it loosen over time, I will add some epoxy

but it does not look like I need it now. Now for the pint jar from scratch. Previously,

I glued two pieces of pine to both sides of the wooden brush handle. Now I'm mounting

the pine into the deep shark jaws with the bristles somewhat bent inside the jaws. I'm

centering the live center on the center of the brush handle before tightening the scroll

chuck. Now I'm turning the handle down to ½". I've cut down close to the metal

on the brush. Later I decided the brush was too high in the jar and made a spacer. Instead,

I could have left more of the pine to serve that purpose.

Next, I'm reversing the brush into the long nose jaws. Now I'm turning down the remainder

of the pine very carefully to avoid having the skew hit the metal. As noted, I should

have left this wood in place a bit longer and avoided the risk. I broke away the remaining

thin short grain pine. How about a little maple to cover the lid.

I am mounting a 1" thick square to the face of the scroll chuck jaws with tail stock pressure

while I do some initial roughing and cut a tenon.

Next I'm reversing the maple onto the tenon into the chuck. The task now is to cut a mortise

or recess to fit the jar's lid. I'm using a gouge to hog out some of the middle and

a square corner scraper to cut the walls. As usual, this is a cut, test, cut test, cut

test process until the lid fits. If I did not have a square corner scraper, I would

use my skew for this work. As I prepare to drill a ½" hole for the

brush handle, I'm doing this lid a little differently. Rather than drill the lid separately,

I'm securing the lid into the recess with duct tape. Then drilling the metal lid and

a hole thru the maple at the same time. This will ensure alignment.

Now I'm reversing the maple with an expansion hold onto the chuck. The lid size is also

a perfect expansion mortise. I'm checking the thickness to make sure it's not too

thick or too thin. Then sand and finish this piece.

Now I'm mounting another piece of scrap walnut to the long nose jaws. I need to make

a spacer to hold the brush lower in the jar. Leaving the pine longer would have avoided

this step. The spacer is just a piece about 1 ½" long with a ½" hole in the center

for the brush handle. Next, I'm mounting a walnut spindle between

centers. This will be the upper brush handle. After some roughing, I'm cutting a tenon

on the end. Size is not critical except to fit my long nose jaws.

Now, swap out the centers for the chuck and remount the spindle. This mount is so that

I can drill the end to fit the brush handle. After some roughing, I'm drilling the ½"

brush hole. Then capture the end with a cone live center.

This will stabilize the walnut while I shape a simple handle. Here again, it is a simple

handle to fit my hand with a knob to avoid slipping off.

And sand, finish and assemble. The only problem was that I did not include the lid cover in

the glue up. I realize it too late after the glue had grabbed.

The complete kit was $12.85. The spice jar was salvaged from our kitchen. The wood was

scrap. A set of three acid brushes was $1.13 for the small jar. For the jar from scratch,

the brush was $1.15, the wood was scrap. My drinking jar was free but a set of 12 on Amazon

is $19.09. I wish the jars were not glass but if they were plastic, I'd worry about

the solvents especially lacquer thinner attaching the plastic. So I'll just have to be careful

with glass. These will serve me for a long time. If I break one or need more, I'll

just turn another. I may put a balloon over the bottom to reduce slipping.

We'll see you again next week for another woodturning video. Please give this video

a thumbs up, subscribe and tell your friends. Always wear your full face shield –goggles

are not enough protection. Until next week, this is Alan Stratton from As Wood Turns dot

com. Let's keep turning.

The Start Of Something New | The Horse Dream - Duration: 12:21.

hey y'all yep this is for real I am back to making

videos and actually so much more I'm so excited so to start off let's talk about

the channel name the channel name is actually changed it is changed to the

horse dream now and there's no more starhorse12channel or anything of

that all of my social media is changing and I will get into why there is no more

starhorse12channel and it's turning into the horse dream in a minute but

let's start with where I been and then what you're going to see for like the

next month or so since my last video which actually was the full time autumn

photo shoot that I did there is a lot that happens between that time some of

your new subscribers have coming out on old videos so some of you guys kind of

know what's going on but I'm really going to get in depth with these videos

so I'm going to sit down for most these videos I'm going to kind of storyline

how things went and give you guys an update on what's going on and how is

things have went and where we are now and then what big stuff is going on

Azlinn did start showing signs of lameness and so what you're going to see

in the next month is the process of what we went through to figuring out what

might it be and how we went about to making her better I'm going to upload these

videos twice a week it's going to be most likely Wednesday and Friday and

that will be all the way up until it kind of got the footage that all I mean

I've got so many videos it has never been a problem of not having videos my

problem with not being able to upload onto YouTube is I do not have enough

hours in day I have to work a eight-hour day job five days a week I'm a normal

person with a normal job of course my plan in the future is for for the future

is to make it so that you to that number one or something else is my number one

and YouTube is like number two they coexist and they're together and they're

connected so when I started YouTube it was just an outlet to talk about horses

because I loved horses I didn't own Azlinn yet and it was just a way to talk

about them without overbearing everyone in my family my few friends like all

that and they were tired listening me talk about horses so you two became my

outlet saying look I want to make this dream happen I've always had the horse

dream since I was little to own a horse and I knew at some point in teenager

years that it wasn't going to happen and I kind of got a longer bio on my website

and this other websites that I'm going to tell you as well and so you kind of

get a backstory a little bit more further than just this so anyways I

realized there were horse dreamers out there that were just like me I never met

them I didn't go to school with anyone who has a dream and then find anyone

online really I didn't have like any real friends that understood the horse

dream and I got on YouTube and realize there's a lot more out there and you

guys encouraged me to keep going in that journey instead of listening to most of

the world who told me especially the horse world that I couldn't or shouldn't

own a horse and or I need to get into college and I need to do this I need to do

that my goal was own a horse all I knew is that's what I wanted to do and I will

do what it takes to get there in the ways I want to get there and then I

started realizing that I was encouraging people and I hadn't even owned a horse yet

and I was encouraging others to actually make their horse dream happen too so it ended

up being this huge thing is that I have realized God is calling me to help you

guys and encourage you guys and do the best I can because I've walked through

the horse dream I walked from the beginning of not knowing of what the heck to do

to trying to find friends and people on their farm to help to figuring out how

to do my own I've got to teach myself all this stuff and then to finally

owning a horse and then you know seeing my mistakes with the new horse owner and

building upon that and learning from it all of those things are the perfect

combination to help you guys in a different form and a lot of you know

about my fictional book that I want to write that's basically a girl who had a

dream or has a dream to own a horse and it

walks through it and I think I've decided to really put that on hold

I am always getting comments and messages from you guys and now I

realized what kind of work I really could do for you guys in a way that like

it's one thing instead of having to comment back and message people back

constantly the same thing I'm giving you guys an even better opportunity to make

your dream come true and the encouragement that you need because I

need an encouragement and I looked everywhere for it and I could never find

it except for you know with God and no one else around me understood the

horse dream I understand it guys and I want to help you in the best way I can

and one day make a business that can really help you guys and also be my career

that's what I want to do I enjoy my job that I do right now but I would rather

help you guys more than anything that's where my heart is that's where it's not

like God is leading me and that is what I'm doing that is what I'm working

towards so what in the world is this project that I keep hinting at the horse

dream is going to be a brand a company and you can find all the info that you

have available to you right now at thehorsedream.com

it was created for this exact reason to help horse dreamers to encourage you guys

to offer info that you can't really find anywhere else I don't want you guys to

feel alone anymore I know what it was like to be a horse dreamer and to

feel alone and feel like no one understands me and no one's there to

encourage or help me or to lead me in the right direction the hardest part was

figuring out where in the world do I start and thehorsedream.com encases a lot of

what's going to help you guys get started and to continue the horse dream

journal year one is encompassing everything from starting from day one

getting your emotions intact getting it all ready and organized in your brain to

prepare yourself for this journey because that is the biggest part is just

starting you can continue it's going to be hard

sometimes but you can continue a lot easier than you

and just start and so it's going to help you just start your journey and I think

it's going to help you guys and encourage you guys in bigger ways than I

feel like I ever personally can just talking to you I feel like it's going to

help you write down your feelings it's a journal based thing but it's weekly and

it's going to offer things for you to think about offer things for you to

write about and offer things for you to research about and also it's going to

give you the encouragement and I honestly think that this could be huge

like impact on the horse world in a way that maybe the horse world's never seen

because I cannot find anything like what I'm creating there is a lot of doubt

once you start to realize how much money you might need to save doubt settles in

so quickly and I want this to be an encouragement for you guys to keep on

going and there's a lot more info on the website so check it out thehorsedream.com

it'll give you an opportunity to look into what's being created it is not

done I've got the cover for you guys but everything inside is not done and I

don't even think I have a full description it's the hardest part is to

describe what this is but I feel like I did really well in this video describing

how I want it to be perceived because it's not going to offer the magic wand

for you guys you can't plant it and expect a money tree to grow and I really want to

get that out there that there's no perfect like let's bow tie this together

and say it's done no it's hard work to make the horse during your reality I

promise you I have done there it is not easy especially when you feel as if

you're doing it alone and I don't want you guys to feel that way and that's why

I'm creating this brand this company whatever you want to call it and I think

it's going to make a huge impact a lot of you guys who feel stuck and you

message me and you comment and you're all these things just trying to feel like

you are getting somewhere I know that feeling I know it I do not want to cry

did not expect to cry in this video but I know that feeling deep down it is

hard and I want you guys gosh i don't want to cry my goodness I just want to get

this video out so I can start the journey the process of what's happened to

Azlinn Oh anyways I want to encourage you guys and obviously I keep saying the

word encouragement and help and there are only so much I can do I am NOT a

trainer by all means I do not say I am I do not say i'm perfect I make mistakes I

am still a new horse owner but I know what that dream process a lot of you

know younger kids are they're given horses and I love that they have the opportunity

to have horses so easily but working for it there is so much more Mountains you have

to cross and barriers and I know firsthand what that's like and I do not want

you guys to feel alone in it oh guys I miss this so much I miss just sitting

down and talking to you guys and I know that as soon as this videos out the

comments are going to happen I'm gonna be able to talk to you guys back and

forth this is 150 billion percent where my heart is YouTube and the company I'm

creating because I know it's going to encourage people I know that this is the

path that God wants me to be on and I feel as though he's talking through me

to you guys and helping you guys in ways that you maybe have never thought you

could find and that feels so good okay so let me recap a bit the horse

dream journal is perfect for those who are figuring out where to start and they

just can't start anywhere and they don't know what to do and they don't have the

encourage that they need it's going to help you start it's going to encourage

you to start it's going to encourage you through the process it's going to walk

you through perfect timing as to where to start in the beginning of the book

you start with emotion what do you feel right now and how can you build from

that and the book just works all the way from there until the end of the year of

weekly journals to do I was about 15 years old my dad told me

if you want to keep talking about horses go online and search ways where start how

much the horses cost all of that it was overwhelmingly confusing and there

is no perfect way to own a horse There are you know necessities but there's English

riders there's western riders or trick riders there's just dressage riders there's so

many different areas and disciplines that you need different equipment for so it's

going to help you work through what you want and it might surprise you that you

might end up switching what you think you would I have written in a way that

it will help all ages and I made it this way because I know there are like 60 old

women who have never owned a horse but always had a dream and they finally make

it happen so I have made it pretty much universal I touched base on younger ages

sometimes and then I make sure in that same journal entry that I touch base on

the more mature ones who are reading this journal and writing in this journal

so each entry is going to be specific to something but it's also going to be

broad enough that all ages can think through that and work through it in

their brain and then be able to write their thoughts in the journal or write

what they learned in the journal I know how important it is to me to be prepared

and I wrote this book in a way to give you the opportunity to be prepared and

to work through like I said get yourself in a direction and start going in that

direction so I really hope that you guys check thehorsedream.com out and

you subscribe so you can get updates on where we are in the book and where

me and Azlinn are and so I hope you all have a great day and you go make the

horse dream your reality

Hawaii: BEERLAND (Full Episode) - Duration: 22:31.

Hey, guys.

I'm Meg.

I'm Janas.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you, too.

Fucking kidding me?

Are you fucking kidding me?

They're drinking beer.

[ Laughter ]

So, yeah. So, the guys drinking beer

are not the ones I'm supposed to talk to?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

♪♪

My name's Meg Gill, and I love beer.

Holy shit. -Thank you so much.

That is a damn good beer.

Meg: So I'm heading on an epic beer adventure

to find out how beer is bringing people together...

Win or lose, we booze, so...

Is that a shower beer or what?

...to meet amazing homebrewers

and to give one of them a chance to brew their beer

at my brewery, Golden Road.

Everybody, cheers!

This is "Beerland."

♪♪

Hawaii is truly paradise.

The beaches, the waves, the people.

But craft beer isn't really the first thing

that comes to mind when visiting these islands.

Though there are about 20 breweries here,

there aren't as many beer brands in local bars,

simply because it costs more to ship them from the mainland.

But I have a feeling the homebrewing scene

is where the action is.

So I'm going to meet a local expert named Euler

and get some advice on where to look.

Hey, guys. Aloha.

-How are you? -Good. I'm Meg.

Hi. Jocelyn. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome to Hawaii.

Thank you. It's great to be here.

Hey.

Trying to catch some fish right now.

-I'm Meg. -I'm Euler. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you, Euler. -Right on.

-Where are we? -[ Laughs ]

Oh, this is called China Walls.

It's a fishing spot that I come to all the time.

Unbelievable.

And, uh, we got you a fishing pole, too.

-Awesome. -Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

How long have you been brewing beer?

Uh, seven years, but professionally, for a year.

-Cool. -Yeah, yeah.

So what -- what about Hawaii beer culture

do you think is different from elsewhere?

The beer scene here is a little bit on the young side,

but, I mean, we are -- we are --

we're all about beer, you know.

But it's just happening now, right?

It's just happening now, and that's what makes Hawaii so unique.

We can play with different flavors

and different ingredients, 'cause our fruits

grow year round on the islands, so...

Yeah, so just more flavors, different flavors?

Different flavors, yeah.

But, I mean, you think Hawaii and you think light beers.

-Yeah. -So why are people excited

about craft beer now and not years ago?

Five years ago, we would only drink

what would be distributed in Hawaii.

Yeah.

So I guess my incentive to start homebrewing

was to try these beers from all around the world.

Yeah.

You know, these lambics from Belgium.

So how'd you get 'em?

-You had to brew it. -Okay, yeah.

That's the only way, you know, so that

was incentive to -- to learn different styles.

You couldn't -- so that's why you started brewing.

-Absolutely. -'Cause you couldn't --

You couldn't buy the beer at a store, so you had to make it.

You couldn't. Yeah, so you had to make it.

That's awesome. So they ain't biting, my friend.

We caught a few fish earlier before you came.

We can go ahead and fire up the grill if you're ready?

-That sounds awesome. -Sounds good, right on.

Meg: All right, here we go.

Your friends. Thank you. Lunch friends.

-Pop it on the grill. -Grill one here. All right.

[ Laughs ] Just let that cook for a little bit.

Cool. All right.

So I'm here to find the best homebrewers in Hawaii.

Can you help me find the -- the homebrewers

that you have in mind? Yeah, it's such a --

It's a small community of homebrewers here on Oahu.

-I'll hook you up. -Awesome, man.

I can't wait to meet 'em. Cheers.

-Cheers. -How are the fish doing?

-Good, good, good. -They look good.

Euler: They look good.

Meg: Thanks to Euler's recommendation,

I'm off to meet my first homebrewers, Joe and Pono.

Pono: Without a doubt, it's definitely an exciting time

here in Hawaii for homebrewing, craft brews.

I mean, we all grew up seeing dads and uncles and grandfathers

drinking lagers and stuff like that.

And it was kind of cool. You need bottles.

It's kind of cool to, like, break out of that for a little bit.

Our philosophy is beer's going to taste a million times better

after you've earned it,

after you've put some time in to work for it.

I think the lifestyle kind of plays into a lot of things.

I mean, we do a lot of working out, but we also do

a lot of drinking beer, too,

so the two balance each other out well.

Meg: I'm headed to meet Joe and Pono, who are homebrewers,

but all I see is guys throwing balls at palm trees.

So, excited to check it out.

-Hey, guys. -Hey. Howzit?

What's up? Wow.

You're dead-lifting kegs, huh?

-Shoulder cleaning 'em. -Shoulder cleaning 'em?

[ Laughs ] It's a little heavy.

Assuming there's beer after this, I'll do a little workout.

We can guarantee beer.

All right. All right.

Well, just throw it to the target,

catch it, and come right back.

Okay.

Basically, as you catch it, ride it down.

There you go.

Try to get a little deeper in that squat.

-What are you, a trainer? -Sometimes.

Sometimes I do it as a hobby,

just start telling people what to do.

I tell trainers to go fuck themselves,

so we're in trouble here.

How's that working out for you?

It's looking like it's working out for you great.

[ Laughs ]

-You want a lighter ball? -Come on, dude.

[ Laughter ]

So what else is going on over here? What's -- What's going on over here?

Man: We -- We were planning a tug of war, if you want to jump in.

And the winner gets the first beer? Is that...

-Yeah, I like that. -That'll work, that'll work.

The winner gets -- No, no, no.

The loser goes and grabs beers for the winner.

-Fair enough. -That works.

Go!

[ All grunting ]

Joe: 3, 2, 1, pull!

For beers, guys! Let's go!

-Pull, pull! -Come on!

We got it, we got it, we got it!

[ All shouting ]

Oh! Sweet. I think we had it.

-All right. -That was great.

Good job. Good job.

-Oh, thank you. -Good job, winners.

Good job.

So, I'm in Hawaii.

Should I have a Mai Tai or should I be drinking beer?

Pono: I'll be perfectly honest.

I've actually never had a Mai Tai.

-Really? -Never.

And you've been here your whole life?

-Yep. -You know, for us,

that's exactly what we're trying to get away from.

You know, we're -- we're trying to show that Hawaii is --

is, you know, there's more depth to Hawaii

and we're all about good beer.

You know, I mean, we're so much more

than Mai Tais and grass shacks.

So is this how people drink beer in Hawaii?

Pretty much, yeah, this is what we do.

We -- We -- We enjoy the environment,

what we have, and that's kind of island style.

-Yeah, why -- -We fish.

Why drink at a beer when you've got -- got this outside.

-Absolutely. -Exactly. Exactly.

Grab a board.

♪♪

Meg: These fitness fanatics are kicking my ass right now.

All right.

Just one day in Hawaii,

and I'm surrounded by so much natural beauty and aloha spirit.

I can't wait to see more of this island

and try Joe and Pono's competition beer.

-Cheers to you guys. -Cheers.

♪♪

♪♪

Meg: I'm a little sore from yesterday's beach workout,

but I'm eager to try Joe and Pono's competition beer.

So I'm headed to Joe's house in Oahu

to see if their beer is as strong as their workout routine.

Joe: We can do some more squats if you want. Hike my backyard.

How about, like, five more squats?

-Five more squats. -Five more squats.

-How about a beer? -No, we're good.

-How about a beer? Cool. -Let's have a beer.

So what did you guys make that I'm going to try?

100% Citra American Pale Ale.

-Yeah. -Little bit lighter.

Lighter, uh, ABV.

-What the ABV? -ABV is 3.5.

-3.5. -3.5.

-So it's a day drinker. -Oh, yeah.

-Day drinker. -So this is a pretty

thirst quenching, have more than one of these type of beer.

-Yep. That's -- That's the goal. -That's always the goal.

♪♪

Meg: It's sounds like Joe and Pono have made a session beer,

which usually means a drink that has a lower alcohol content

than other craft brews, but still packs great flavor.

These beers are highly drinkable,

perfect for hanging out with friends

or a refreshing reward after a long workout.

Session beers won't exceed 5% alcohol

so you can drink more of them over an extended period of time

without overwhelming your taste buds.

Nice pour there. Good color.

-There you go. -Thank you.

So I'm buying into this culture of working your ass off

and then getting back and enjoying a beer.

Absolutely. I mean, the idea is a lifestyle.

It's something you can maintain.

You can do these things -- You're devoted to it for life.

This isn't a weight loss prevention cure.

-Exactly. -This is a lifestyle.

This is not a short-time thing, these are life changes,

kind of -- kind of deal, so... -Yeah, yeah, and it's not

just about the vanity of getting a beer belly

or whatever, it's about feeling good.

We like to drink in the -- in the day,

you know, at the beach in the sun.

And if it's too heavy, you can have one and done.

-Yeah. -My neighbor right down the way,

when we gave him a beer, he was like,

"Oh, tastes good, but can only drink one."

-Yeah. -"I like drink all night."

-Yeah. -So then we were like,

oh, there's something to that, you know.

-Yeah. -So...

I appreciate that. Cheers to you guys.

-Hey. -Cheers.

The color looks great.

Damn. That's good.

-Thank you very much. -Thank you.

-Yeah. -Appreciate that.

Um, I would expect more Citra.

-Definitely. -Yeah.

Little more time on the Citra.

But for 3.5%, you guys definitely made

a well-rounded, well-balanced beer.

The biggest challenge is usually getting the mouth feel right...

Yeah. ...when you -- when you've got that low ABV beer.

Yeah. Beers can be thin or they're not as complex.

But this is a very well-made, balanced beer, so...

-That what we hope for. -Keep it up.

-That's it. -Yeah.

-Cool. Cheers. -All right. Cheers.

Meg: In addition to tourism and outdoor living,

Hawaii is a major strategic location for the US Military.

Today, there are over 49,000

active duty personnel living in the state.

One of our next homebrewers is in active service here,

and he and his wife have invited me to the local veteran's bar

to see a different side of Hawaiian beer culture.

-Hey. -Meg?

-Justin? -Yes. Pleasure.

-Nice to meet you. -Awesome to see you.

-Thanks for having me. -Yeah.

Um, we were waiting for you.

Ooh!

-Hi! -Hawaiian style.

-Meg. -Aloha. We hug here.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

-Aloha. -Aloha.

Great to meet you guys.

This is your hangout, your local hangout?

Yeah, military-affiliated, so you're looking at

Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps.

What do you do in the military?

I'm a chief in the Navy, so I'm currently stationed

on a surface ship and develop sailors.

Cool. Did you get into brewing beer pre-military, like...

It was during. We're pretty handy folks, um...

Yeah. And it's more of a social thing, I think.

We enjoy it with each other and share the knowledge,

so that's what we're shooting for.

Yeah. Cool.

Hey, guys. What are you doing here?

Man: So we're all military retirees, the three of us.

Yeah. Yeah.

All of us basically still work for the military,

doing the same or similar jobs that we had.

-What do you like to drink? -IPAs.

-You drink IPAs? -Yeah.

Just finished an IPA.

Cool. Where else do you guys drink beers in Hawaii?

To be honest with you, this is about it.

Well, thank you for your service.

What is it about having an exclusive club like this?

Why not go off-base and go to a regular bar?

There's something about being in the military

that you're never going to get on the outside, ever.

Yeah.

You're always going to have that comradery.

It's a brotherhood, period.

Yeah. Whether you served -- whatever service you served in,

what branch, but it's that fun part of it

that you get to needle that next guy that was in the Navy,

you're a Marine, you know, Coast Guard, Air Force, Army,

so there's always that.

Do you guys talk about what you've been through,

especially the guys who've been through tough stuff overseas?

That's one thing nice about this place.

You come here, and the majority of people

that come in here know what you've been through.

Yeah. So they -- they --

Either they experienced it or they --

they just know what it's like.

Everybody understands.

There's always been military here

and it's always been a big part of Hawaii.

Yeah. And I'm going to say,

in my lifetime, it will always be a part of Hawaii.

Yeah. Absolutely. Pretty special.

-Thank you so much. -Thank you.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Meg: The more time I spend in Hawaii,

the more I can see the diversity here.

It's not just palm trees and sandy beaches,

there's a strong sense of community here at local bars,

people coming together for beer

in a place to share their stories.

If I had to describe beer to someone that's never tried it,

it's like when you meet a friend that you're like,

"Uh, not so sure about him or her."

And then you start like, hanging out with them and you're like,

"You know what, they're really growing on me

and now I just love them and I just want

to hang out with them all the time."

And that's how I feel about beer.

Man: It's quite possibly the most dynamic

food products imaginable.

Woman: Probably like a -- a sour seltzer.

Woman #2: It's just this refreshing awesomeness.

Man #2: It's a journey. It -- It changes with a bite of food,

it changes with the air, it changes with the temperature,

it changes with the style, with the people,

with the environment.

Woman #3: When you first taste it,

it's like, damn, this is good.

Woman #4: So it's kind of like going home and eating like,

a pizza, except you're drinking your pizza.

Meg: I'm going to meet Justin and Jen and try their beer.

They are a military family.

You know, military life is not easy,

and so I think it'll be interesting to see

the family side of Hawaiian military life.

Justin: In the military, there's a lot of times

that you kind of just have to put your life on hold.

So we treat every day like it's our last,

because, you know, the deployments could come,

they could go.

Jen: I actually like to joke

that alcohol helps my marriage.

Because when we brew, it is most definitely

a family affair, it's an ohana day.

"Ohana" is family.

It's the basis of most everything in Hawaii.

No matter where we went, we were always able to brew.

I'd have shipmates come over and we do the same thing.

-Aloha. -Hey, how's it going, Meg?

-What's brewing? -Good to see you.

Good to see you. Smells good.

Justin: We have our Coconut Belgian Blonde.

You add coconut to the mash.

And we add coconut to the boil later, as well.

We do 'em both. Okay. So there's two additions.

-There's never enough coconut. -There's never enough coconut.

Meg: Yeah. I've cracked a coconut before

by throwing it on the ground.

Come on. It's somewhat cracked.

Who are these guys cheering us on?

What's going on here?

-That's all ohana. -That's my family.

[ Laughter ]

Meg: There are many ways to flavor a beer,

it just depends on timing.

Typically, if you add elements during fermentation,

the flavor will be stronger,

but adding items during the boil, or whirlpool,

can also create surprising hints of flavor

that won't overpower your base beer.

If you do want a super-intense flavor like Jen and Justin,

add your coconut or other ingredients

during both the fermentation and the boiling stages.

Here you go. Who wants some?

-Dibs. -Oh, yeah.

Dibs. Here you go.

These are my neighbors over here, back there,

my shipmate, my brother Josh, my dad, my moms,

and a couple more shipmates right here.

My mother is actually my tester.

Hello. If she doesn't like it, it's good.

[ Laughter ]

That's -- That's the thing.

Woman: The circle does not get broken.

Justin: Dear Lord, please bless this food we are about to eat

and nourish our bodies and our friendships and our family.

We're very grateful to have everyone here today

and to be able to share this experience.

-Amen. -Amen.

Meg: The food looks great. Thank you all so much.

So how many family members live on the street?

-12. -What is there? 12 of us.

-12? -Yeah.

That's amazing. It's pretty amazing, too, that,

being in the military, that you're -- you're here, right?

It's -- It's a blessing, it's lucky.

-Blessing. -And if I can get it, I love it.

If not, I got to go for a little while,

but it's always going to come home.

Yeah.

So how many are from Hawaii versus transplants here?

-Transplant. -It's a mix, right?

-Transplant. -Yeah. It's a real good mix.

-Yeah. -It's a good mix.

I've been here since 2002, and I love it.

Yeah.

The open arms, as far as -- I'm from the South.

Spanish language differences Mexico - Spain | Ande Asiul - Duration: 6:50.

Hey beauties!!! I am so happy to be back again

with a type of video that I know is the kind you like a lot!

before we get started, specially if you are new around here

I want to make it clear that

I am just sharing my experiences

as a mexican from Sonora

that came to live to Spain, Andalucia

to Jerez de la Frontera

everything that I tell you in my videos

are just my perceptions

you don't have to necessarily agree with me

these videos are not about what's correct

nor who is better than whom

it is just about learning and sharing

with what experiences we could find ourselves

maybe when going to a cafeteria

or when meeting someone

just things of everyday life

I will end this video with greetings for you guys!

so let's get started with this video and stay with me until the end

let's start with what is most obvious

if you are from Latin America or Spain

if you are learning spanish maybe it is not so obvious for you

in fact the idea of this video came to me when

I was talking with a friend from Germany

and he said to me "quince"

I said to him

you sound so Spanish

he didn't quite get what I was talking about

I guess he just learned spanish language

without realizing there is a difference in pronounciation from Spain and Latin America

in Spain the letters "z" ( before all vowels) and "c" (just before e and i)

are pronounced as the "th" sound in english

while in Mexico and I think all Latin America in general

we pronounce all with the "s" sound

we don't differentiate the z,c and s sounds

in fact living in Spain I learned of what seseo means

and ceceo

when you differentiate it means you pronounce differently the z,c and s

seseo means that you pronounce z,c and s the same way, with the s sound

and ceceo means you pronounce everything with the th english sound

another important difference is the use of "vosotros"

in Mexico we don't use "vosotros"

we use "ustedes"

for example, instead of asking "vosotros vais?"

we ask "ustedes van?"

another notorious difference is the use of past tense

in Mexico we use more the simple past tense

while in Spain it is more used the compound past tense

for example in Spain "hoy no he desayunado"

in Mexico we would say "hoy no desayuné"

I would use in Mexico the compound past tense to say something that I haven't done YET

for example, "hoy no he desayunado, pero ahorita ya voy a desayunar"

while in Spain "hoy no he desayunado" is definite

it is kind of complicated to explain, but I'm trying my best

another difference ...some alphabet letters

for example, the letter "doble u", as we call it in Mexico

in Spain it is called "uve doble"

in Venezuela, my friend Gibi told me it is called "doble ve"

the brand BMW in Mexico "be eme doble u"

in Spain "be eme uve"

as well as the letters v and b in Mexico we could refer to them as the small and the big "be"

another difference is "leismo"

in Spain it is very common

for example, "a Álvaro no LE vi ayer"

and in Mexico you probably wouldn't hear that

we would say "a Álvaro no LO vi ayer"

finally, another difference is the vocabulary

there are many words that have different meaning

from one country to another

stuff that we call differently

I have done some videos about it

and I will continue doing more

you can find them all in a playlist

I don't know if you have already seen it

the España - Mexico one

so you can find this type of video easily

if you just want to see these kind of videos

I remember a friend from France

he was living in Hermosillo (student exchange) for over a year

and obviously the spanish language he learned is the one we speak in Hermosillo

when he finished the student exchange program he went back to France

and after that he went to Barcelona for an internship

and I went to Barcelona to visit him

he told me that sometimes he didn't understand very well because

it was very different what he had learned from how people in Barcelona spoke

To end this video I am going to send some greetings

I will try not to repeat people I have mentioned before

in my previous greetings video or another one

because that way I have the opportunity to say hello to more of you guys!

and also we don't want this to be very long very long

either way if I haven't mentioned you in my previous video or in this one

please comment an emoji, your favourite one, or whatever you want

so I can know that I haven't mentioned you, but you see me and you are there

[subtitles after greetings start again at min 6:07]

and voilà beauties! these are the differences I am mentioning today

I hope you have learned something new

and if you didn't

well...

I'm sorry

either way leave me in the comment section below

some other differences that you have noticed

thank you so much for hanging out here with me!

if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up

and if you haven't subscribed already be a dear and click on the subscribe red button

Buddy Thunderstruck - Soul Suckers (S1 Ep6) - Duration: 2:18.

Listen up, ladies and gentleman!

Our fugitive has been on the run for seven days!

Average foot speed over uneven ground is four miles an hour!

That gives us a radius of, hmm, well, a lot of miles.

What I want out of you is a hard-target search of every coffee shop, barber shop, and used

bridal shop in the area!

Our fugitive's name is Buddy Thunderstruck!

Go get him!

Can flowers feel love?

Ooh, I don't know.

Can they feel this?

Go towards the light, little flower.

Come on!

It's hunting season.

Whoa-ho, look at this pile of sticks!

So quaint and cozy.

Almost home-like.

It'll make a good campfire.

If you ask me, with all the care that clearly went into how every stick is arranged,

it'll make a dang great campfire, buddy!

Hey, Darnell, I'm gonna yell 'cause yelling's fun!

Ain't this campfire great?

Kind of looks like a house on fire, but it's not a house, so it's okay!

And so, the stupid teenager read aloud from the pamphlet of the dead.

"Ra-vadakari!

Nara-lokee-fuego-taco!"

And it summoned The Soul Suckers!

The pamphlet of the dead?

Why not a book?

Like, inked in blood or something?

'Cause I'm sick of that story, but it's true!

Soul suckers are real!

Yeah right.

Like when you tried to convince me that there are doctors who just clean your teeth.

What'd you call 'em?

Dentists?

Uh, Darnell, was that you?

Yup!

Okay, it wasn't me.

Sometimes I lie to get attention.

Hey, now, what's that?

Wh-- What's that over there?

S-S-S-Soul Suckers!

Darnell!

Soul Suckers ain't real!

Soul sucker?

Stupid organic batteries!

DragonFlies now do MQA - Duration: 7:00.

I reviewed the AudioQuest DragonFly Red and the Black 1.5 in August 2016 and was rather

charmed by them. especially the Red.

Only four months later it was announced at CES 2017 that an update was planned, enabling

MQA on both models.

During High-End Munich 2017 the update was finally released.

So time for my update.

For a description of both the DragonFly Red and

the Black 1.5 see the initial review by following the link in the show notes.

Updating works the same for both models, but earlier models like the Black 1 and 1.2 cannot be updated.

Just download the free DragonFly Desktop App, install it and then run it.

It will ask you to connect the DragonFly to the USB port, after which the device manager pops up.

It checks whether an update is available - which will be the case - and suggests to install it.

If you click the Update Now button the process will start.

A clear warning is displayed not to disconnect the DragonFly during the update process for

this might render it useless.

In my case it took only one minute to update.

After the update it plays MQA files and, amazingly enough,

it does that up to 384 kHz sampling when playing MQA files!

This is not specified anywhere but I happened to speak to MQA inventor Bob Stuart, so I asked him

whether the DragonFly's did core decoding - the first level of decoding that

doesn't take the behaviour of the DAC into account - or if it would do full decoding.

To my surprise he said that they do full decoding.

The input circuits of the DragonFly's can handle only signals up to 96 kHz but since

MQA files use 44,1 or 48 kHz baseband signals, with the high res information hidden in it,

these are sent to the MQA decoder in the DragonFly where they are decoded to high-res and sent

to the DAC chip at the original sample rate.

This means that a 24 bit 384 kHz MQA file will actually be played at 384 kHz sampling rate.

By the way, some people think that all MQA files are 192 kHz. They're not.

Many are 44.1 or 48 or the twofold of that, but there are also 384 kHz files.

Now, lets get testing;

I used Roon 1.3 running on an Intel NUC i3 and used a 5k iMac as endpoint

with the DragonFly's connected to a USB port.

For comparison between MQA and non-MQA I used a number of free downloadable tracks from

2L.no and other MQA tracks bought at Highresaudio.com.

It is hard to say if the sound of the DragonFly's has improved for playing normal audio files

since I can't compare.

But I more or less can compare between MQA and non MQA since I have a limited number

of tracks of which I know they came from the same master.

The difference between MQA and non-MQA was already very clear on my sub € 1,000 set-up 3

and using an AudioQuest NightHawk headphones and Sony MDR-EX700's in-ears - despite my claustrophony.

Playing MQA really opened up the stereo image, made voices more natural, gave deeper base

and overall a less stressed sound.

Also percussive instruments sounded more realistic, more coherent.

For those that don't speak the audiophile lingo: the sound is less a burden to the brain.

Try to read a book when playing MQA music and then non-MQA music.

You will notice that reading is more difficult when playing non-MQA music.

Or not, of course, if you're not sensitive.

MQA makes the difference between the Black 1.5 and the Red somewhat smaller when playing MQA files.

I would still prefer the Red and would be happy to spend the extra € 100.

But you might say it's twice the price of the Black 1.5 and you would be right too.

The nice thing about the DragonFly's is that the volume still can be controlled by

software while playing MQA since it uses metadata to control the DragonFly's volume.

If you are sceptical about MQA, spend € 99 on the Dragonfly Black 1.5 and listen to the

difference using for instance the free files on 2L.no.

For those that want MQA for the road: us the camera adapter for the iPhone or the OTG cable

for Android and you're set.

If you're a music gourmand, even on the road, spend the € 199 for the Red version.

AudioQuest shows that MQA developments at the lower end of the market can be done and

I expect other manufacturers to follow.

Some might hasten now, others might be hesitant since integrating MQA into a device does require

serious R&D money that can only be earned back with large volumes or high prices.
