Hi, I'm Keith McCoy with Solutions Pest and Lawn.
In this video, we'll talk about this product, we are going to cover what it is, what its
used for, how to get started, where and when to apply, product drawbacks and the different
considerations before choosing this chemical.

Sylo is a 25.4% Cypermethrin emulsifiable concentrate insecticide.
This product is a synthetic pyrethroid that works by interfering with the insect's nervous
system.
Sylo controls many different species of insects, but we typically recommend it to control fleas,
roaches, spiders, and wasps.
Before using Sylo, be sure to use proper personal protective equipment, or PPE.
You can mix Sylo with water at a varying rate depending on level of infestation and targeted
pest.
Always follow label directions for proper mix rate, and do not over apply.
Over use of the product could make it less effective.
It comes in an easy to use, unique tip and measure bottle.
Make sure both caps are tight and tip the bottle over.
Use the slanted lines and tip the bottle back until you have the required amount.
Add water to your sprayer, and then add the chemical.
Agitate your sprayer and you're ready to apply.
Sylo is typically used as an outdoor broadcast spray.
But it can also be used as a barrier spray around structures, including around windows,
around doors, along eaves, and any other entry points such as weep holes and where electrical
and plumbing penetrate the wall.
Sylo can even be used for termite treatments.
You can apply Sylo with either a pump sprayer, hose end sprayer, backpack sprayer, or a spray
rig for large volume application.
Apply Sylo during calm days where rain is not in the immediate forecast.
Keep all pets and people off the treated areas until dry.
Sylo has a residual of up to ninety days.
We typically recommend spraying quarterly for preventative control.
Sylo is not an instant kill - once the insect comes into contact with the chemical, it can
take up to twenty minutes for it die.
Depending on your target pest's lifecycle, you may need to reapply in 14-21 days.
Most active infestations cannot be controlled through the use of one product.
Typically, you'll need a growth regulator and bait or dust for complete control.
For each insect, we have come up with treatment methods that we guarantee 100% to work.
Click the card on the top right to get more information.
Because Sylo is an oil-based emulsifiable concentrate, it will have an odor, could potentially
stain vinyl surfaces, can burn vegetation if sprayed when temperatures are over 95 degrees,
and does not work well on porous surfaces such as brick or raw wood.
If any of these are a concern, check out Reclaim IT.
This liquid concentrate does not have these drawbacks and treats similar pests.

Jellicoe Road | Book Review - Duration: 5:13.
Hi everyone, it's Farah and today I'm going to be sharing my thoughts on Jellicoe
Road by Melina Marchetta. I've recently read this and it stayed on my
mind for a while. I've read a bunch of Melina Marchetta books. I read the
Lumatere Chronicles, it's a trilogy, a YA fantasy. I also read Saving Francesca, a
contemporary coming-of-age. And now I've read Jellicoe Road and I am convinced
that she is one of my favorite authors. This story follows Taylor Markham who
lives on Jellicoe road it's a boarding house for... I want to say children in need,
children in difficult circumstances. She was left by her mother in a 7-eleven six
years before the start of this book, and then taken in by Hanna, who also
works nearby the boarding school. At the same time there seems to
be a territory war between the people from the boarding school, the Jellicoe
Road ,the Townies, the people who live in town, and the cadets who come and visit,
in the summer I believe. I'm not really sure. This book can start off
being really really confusing. For the first hundred or so pages, I was reading
without really understanding much but you were still trying to get to know the
character Taylor and understanding that she's got a lot of issues. There's this
big mystery about where she comes from, who her mother is, why her mother left
her, who her father is, etc... She's come from a really
difficult childhood and because of that it really affects her personality and
she pushes everyone around her, away but when Hanna ,essentially her caretaker,
disappears one day without a note or anything,
Taylor starts to fall apart. At the same time one of the cadets Jonah Griggs
returns with the cadets and you realize that her and him have history and he
seems changed. He seems different. And you're basically plunged into this world,
into this story, into this plot, sort of in the middle of it happening so there's
all of this backstory that you don't actually learn about until after the fact but
I feel like Melina Marchetta gave you just enough to confuse you at the
beginning, keep you reading, and then answering all of these questions. I felt
that the characters were very well developed and fleshed out but some of
the other characters, you can see that they have history, you want to see more
of it you want to see more of that history. You want to get a better, clearer
understanding of it, but she doesn't, Melina Marchetta
doesn't always share that and it's not necessarily a bad thing but it just
kind of makes you want a little bit more from the story. But you also start to
understand the nature of Jonah Griggs and Taylor's history as well together,
and her history with Hannah, but also at the same time you start to realize that
she gets all of these flashbacks. These little moments and memories. And as a
child, of course, you don't really have a great collection of memories because, you
know, memories fade as you grow up. She has all of these unanswered questions
about her past and she's got these collection of memories to go by and to
solve that mystery of her past by and the way that it all comes together is
really interesting. I love the interactions between the characters. I
love the mystery in the way that it develops. You start to get the story
about four other characters. You don't know if this is real or if it's
temporary. You don't know how it relates to Taylor at all. But it just
all comes together. Like I said I've mentioned the interactions between the
characters or high schoolers. They're all kids more or less but the interaction
between them is so true to themselves. You know how high school kids these
days when you read a YA a or you watch TV shows they're so mature. They're so
much older than their age but these kids can be kids. These kids can be immature.
These kids can be kids, you know? And it comes across, because when I'm reading
this, I'm reminded of my friends from high school I'm reminded of my friends
in high school and university. I'm reminded of my childhood and how I was around kids,
how the boys were in class, how they act and stuff, and I really loved that. And
that's the thing. This this book was hilarious at times. Like really really
funny, laugh-out-loud funny because of that. Because it reminded me so much of
my school days, but at the same time it could be so emotional.
There were times that just broke my heart, and one tear slipping... because
the writing style is so evocative, it's so heart-wrenching. This is all written
in first person POV and I thought that that was done really well. So when you see that
sort of breakdown of the self, when you start to get answers, it's almost like
you don't want to. When things start to clear up
it just becomes really really interesting. When I first started it, and
I was very confused, I didn't think I'd like it. I was like oh my god I think
this is... I think this is not gonna be a really good read. I think it's gonna be
one of the ones that just don't click with me. But as a contemporary, it
really really clicked with me, and resonated with me because it deals with
very basic human emotions such as the need for love and comfort and safety
and belonging. There's always this question of being alone in this world
and having someone care if you disappear. So yeah, I actually really enjoyed this
book, guys. It really left a profound impact. Yes. So, go read it if you haven't.
It's a really good one. I really enjoyed it. So those were my thoughts on
the book. I hope you guys enjoyed this review, and I'll see you with my next one.
Bye!

TotalMount Review For the Echo Dot 3rd Gen 2018 - Duration: 4:34.
Hey what is going on everybody Dan here from TechFIt360. I'm sure you all know
that the Amazon echo dot third generation has already been released
today I'll be showing you some mounting options. Sure you can set your echo dot
on a table or even on a desk that's so boring right? Today on the channel I have
a couple of mounts for your new echo dot from TotalMount it's time for my Tech
Snack series, So let's get to it!
So before we get started I would like to invite you to take a moment and
subscribe to the channel I promise promise promise that I'll be here when
you get back and also click the notification bell to be alerted each
time I post a new video another thing before we get started I
want to thank TotalMount for making today's video possible not only did they
supply the mounts for today's video but also hooked me up with a third generation
echo dot if you check out the company's website you'll discover they create
mounts for the Apple TV the fire TV cloud cam apple airport and also some
gaming mounts. Okay now first let's have a look at the total mount outlet and
wall mount I like having options when it comes to
placing my echo dot let's see what we have in the box there's an instruction
manual that will guide you through the three secure mounting options the echo
dot mount made of hard plastic with a sleeve for cable management control the
only color available right now is white and also included other mounting screws
and pin now if you choose the wall mount method you'll have to use the provided
screws for the install of course you still need to be fairly close to an
outlet for power I'm doing the power outlet method two ways to accomplish
this I've already removed the sleeve so now place the mount over the outlet
without removing any screws then insert the pin into the center hole of the
mount make sure the outlet holes line up then insert the power adapter into the
total mount and wind the cable around the mount in the cable storage area
reattach the sleeve plug in the echo dot and you're good to go
in the next method we will secure the mount by removing the outlet center screw
and attaching the total mount to the outlet by inserting the included screw
into the second hole this is the hole right below where we inserted the pin
insert the adapter wind up the cable plug up the echo dot three and again
you're good to go your echo is ready to almost obey your every demand now as you
can see here although the echo three is physically only using one outlet because
it's so large is gonna block that other outlet so this is something you should
consider when deciding on where you want to place your echo dot next is the hole
free wall mount no drilling needed for this one this comes in both black and
white color mounts inside this box you get the user manual two screws just in
case you want a more secure mount and two adhesive strips first I recommend
cleaning the wall area before attaching the adhesive strips simply attach the
strips to the mount the black lettering on the tape is informing you that this
is the wall side adhesive attached to the wall let it sit an hour
and then place the dot inside the Flex arm give it some juice and you're all
done. Alexa: "Thank you for watching today's video" You know the great thing about
using the adhesive strips is that you can easily remove the mount without any
damage to your wall you can pick up more adhesive strips from places like Walmart
Home Depot the Dollar Tree may even sell them. I feel the greatest benefit of
having mounts like these is the protection it provides it's going to be
pretty hard to spill something on your echo dot or knock it off your desk by
accident I've done both so everybody what do you think about these mounts
will you love it or leave it please leave me some comments down below
I'll be giving two of these mounts away and I'll choose my winners from the
first 20 subscribers who let me know they are interested in the comment
section below if you're interested in purchasing some of these total mounts
for yourself just follow the links in my description the outlet and wall mount
sells for $14.99 the white hole free mount sells for $11.99 and the black hole
free mount sells for $12.99 I think these items will make excellent
Christmas gifts for Echo Dot 3 owners. Thank you so much for watching give me
the thumbs up if you enjoy today's video please connect with me on Facebook
Instagram and Twitter and subscribe for more tech videos. Now go out and do a
random act of kindness for someone and I'll see you right back here in my very
next video. GOD BLESS!

Bee Free Warrior Mix Review - Duration: 11:25.
Hey guys, I'm Kimberly from Kimberly's Gluten Free Kitchen and if you watched my videos before
Um, you know how much I love new gluten-free products. I
Don't think there's anything better than finding a new product. That looks really good. And
Doesn't taste like cardboard so I'm always looking for new products to try. I was diagnosed about
12 years ago almost
And I am constantly on the search for new products when I was first diagnosed
It was just like not a lot of stuff so over the years every time they come out with new stuff
I'm pretty much the first one that is there to buy new products
So I love getting new products and I was recently sent some new products from this company who has gluten-free products
So I'm so excited to share them with you
and
Show you this new company that I found
So it's called Bee Free
It says liberated from junk food
which
liberated from junk food if you watch my recipes or you follow my recipes, um,
You know that I don't post the healthiest stuff but in my day to day life, I am actually a really healthy person
I eat pretty
healthily and
I try to keep my family really healthy as well. I just love to eat
if I want a cupcake, I want to eat a cupcake, you know, like I love I
We do like splurge every once in a while
And so those are the kind of recipes that are fun to make so those are the kind of recipes that I like to post
but
during the week I
Am a really healthy person. So when I got these in the mail. I was really excited because
These are actually good for you it says they are gluten free and grain free
It also says it's paleo
They are gluten free dairy free grain free and oat free
Which I know that you know
You can get oats that are gluten free but a lot of people still react to them. So oat free great
and
They're just a great company it says warrior mix was inspired by our son growing up fighting the battle against autism
He's a real-life warrior armed
With a gluten-free diet and overcoming one day at a time. I'm proud to offer this junk free snack for every day warriors like you
Peace love and paleo. I love that. I love that I love that
They called their son a real life warrior and I thought they named it the warrior mix like it just feels like every day
being on this diet that we're like fighting this battle
within ourselves within the world because I swear the world is just inundated with gluten
And wheat products and everything. So I feel like we are fighting a war every day
And I feel like this product pretty much sums it up. I love that. They made this for their son
I love companies like this
I feel like they are really truly invested in their products and want to you know, put out a real quality product
so I love that I
love that is just
Free of junk it just doesn't have a lot of stuff in it. Um and
You know, that's what you really want in your food. You want to eat like whole healthy foods?
the majority of the time and then occasionally, you know eat a
Delicious gluten-free cupcake, which I had lots of recipes of by the way
So the ingredients are almonds, honey
Almond meal coconut pumpkin seeds sunflower seeds organic coconut oil vanilla extract almond extract and sea salt
Pretty awesome. I love the ingredients
I
Love that you can pronounce all the ingredients and that you know what they all are
that's something that I really look for in my food is to just be able to
pronounce the ingredient
It seems like such a small thing to ask but yet it's so difficult. So let's try some of those
so
It's just like chunks of
Yumminess, I mean it's hard to but like you can actually see chunks of almonds
You can see chunks of pumpkin seeds
You know, you can see that it's made with almond meal and
It looks delicious
Mmm
The first bite I got almost a full size almond
Which I love like I'm obsessed with almonds. I
could probably live off of
Almonds and avocados
Probably my one of my two to my favorite foods in the entire universe, almonds and avacados. but
I
love the seeds and it
Has a great texture, you know, you could taste like that, honey
But it's definitely not too sweet. I
Surprised surprised. I'm not I don't like like
super-sweet products
Which is weird since I love to make
lots of sweet products but
Um when I'm eating a snack and stuff, I don't like it like so heavily
Sweet and this just has like that touch of honey. It's not super sweet
It's a great anytime snack. I think it would be great
snack like after you go to the gym and stuff and you want to keep like
You know without those high protein foods and high. Um
You know good quality fats that you want. I love to exercise
I love to go the gym and this would be a great snack to have with me. I'm
Keep it in my gym bag. Even I'm just a snack because sometimes
If I don't have time to eat breakfast before I go to the gym
This would be great to eat it pop in my mouth and it wouldn't like make me feel sick
Well, I'm working out so that's great. Um
my mom keeps
her desk at work stocked with
Snacks and stuff. I think this would be great to give her so she can keep you know
Some good snacks in her desk and a lot of people you just need something just pop your mouth and keep with you
so that you can
You know make a choices throughout the day. Okay, so this is chocolate. I mean sorry clays chocolate buzz
Which if you know me, I love chocolate. I love chocolate. I love chocolate
So let's try this one
It's pretty much the same ingredients, but it has some chocolate in it
This is also really good
It's a little bit sweeter than the other one, but by just like a touch
So it's still not over sweet the almonds the seeds
This one has a little bit more coconut flavor are all center stage with a chocolate
Honey flavors
backstage, I love that I
Love that it's just a touch of chocolate. Not a huge chocolate flavor, but you're still getting what you need from it
It still tastes like chocolate and it's really good
Okay, so this is the last one that I got. It's Hagen's Berry Bomb
and
It has seeds, honey and berries so it has
pretty much the same but it has
Cranberries in it which I love cranberries. I think they're such a good I
Just love them they taste good they're not too sweet. I love dried cranberries. I think they're just so good
Because I got like a whole cranberry which adds a little bit of sweetness, but not too sweet
You can also taste the honey em. Oh my gosh. It's just a really good
It's just really good real food that
is convenient like for me as a mom of three like I need convenience like I need
To grab something out of the cupboard throw it in my bag and know that I'm gonna be eating something
That's good and healthy for me. That's not gonna make me feel horrible and
It's not gonna slow me down
Throughout the day
You know
having this
Being on a gluten-free diet. You really need to be careful that you never get too hungry
You know, I can't stress that enough like you cannot get too hungry where you're gonna make bad choices
You always have to be
You just have to be more
Conscious of your body and being able to fuel it so that you can always be on top of your diet. I
honestly think that that is the
Best way that I stay on my diet is I'm constantly aware like I am getting hungry

Walmart Online Canada Shopping Store Pickup Review & My Experience 😱 | Good Or Bad? - Duration: 5:24.
All right hey guys.
What are you going to do today. I'm going to unbox this package from Wal-Mart. What I wanted to do is test out the Wal-Mart online ordering system in Canada as a specific reason that I did that.
And there's a specific product even here in this box that I tell you about because it's it's really cool.
So basically what I did was. This box from Wal-Mart on the 26.
OK. And you have to order over like twenty twenty dollars worth of the charging surcharge.
So I threw a couple of things in with it and I said it will get shipped to our location near me, which would be October 18.
I got there early actually. It was ready to pick up. I got mail on October 3rd.
So one of the nice things is what are they telling you. It's going to be there soon.
So just jump in and see what's inside this box.
So this is actually FREE to have shipped to a Wal-Mart location. So the first thing.
This is some gluten-free pasta just filler to get to the order threshold. Actual.
All right well things are. So. On. You. Can see here. We've got some more the rest of the stuff first.
It's in the white bag.
So the reason I wanted to actually get this is...this is Stubb's Green Chili
Sauce and it is freaking amazing.
It's actually quite spicy don't need a lot. And how I did this and it's how much green chiles with garlic.
So what I did was I fried chicken up you know a cast iron pan
get it nice you know coloring.
And then I put this on top. Put on some lettuce... put some raw onions and POW.
Really really good.
The problem is getting this in Canada seems to be a bit of a problem.
So I went to.
There's two major grocery stores here in Nova Scotia there's a Atlantic Superstore
and there's Sobeys. And I went to both of them and said Hey I know you carry
other Stubbs sauces.
Can you bring this in.
And people told me no. I was kind of disappointed. So talk to the managers there.
I called Pete's Fine Foods in Bedford which typically has a nicer
nicer food some imported and stuff like that's where I get my preserved
lemons and stuff like that.
But they I asked what can you do case you carry some Stubbs and
some different stuff sauces and they said no.
So disappointing but I just did a search and I'm like oh yeah message Stubbs does on Facebook I'm like Can I just order some of this right from you.
Ship it right to Canada. And they were like No. So I searched this and searched Canada.
And then what pop up? Wal-Mart online. I'm like OK let me give this a shot.
And so that's what I hear so I ordered a couple of bottles of choice just cause you know how someone can.
This is like my son's favorite thing and.
We got a couple of bottles of this. It is really really good stuff.
And I think there's one other. So. We'll see if I can.
He's got some stubs original original BBQ sauce
So you guys look happy with this stuff. Green hatch chili sauce.
Really really good. Overall the whole process Wal-Mart very easy.
You know I know one of the grocery stores in the area are looking
toward doing more that now.
You know you can kind of drive to the store and pick it up.
So that's kind of like this but not all the stuff that you can get in Wal-Mart and even the box section is available so you know that's why I kind of just got a couple things but really happy.
So we're going to continue with this Stubb's green chili sauce tonight.
It is really dynamite. Love to see you the next video. Hope you enjoyed the unboxing.
Hey guys. Whoops sorry. That wasn't the end.
I forgot there is one last one that we got here. The chicken marinated with onions and citrus sounds pretty good.
Haven't tried out but yeah all the all the excitement I forgot to fill that when and how this is we're really into the video for real.
We'll see the next one.

The Queen's Rising Review - Duration: 13:51.
Hey guys, it's Nat and today I'm going to be doing a review of The Queen's Rising
by Rebecca Ross. So, this book is a YA high fantasy book and it follows a
young girl named Brienna and she is studying to be a passion and you can be
a passion in one of five categories: art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge. Now
most people are naturally inclined toward one passion over the others, but
Brienna struggles to find hers until she finally decides on knowledge. Once she
finishes her studies she needs to be chosen by a patron in order to become
impassioned and when that time comes she's left without a patron. It isn't
until a few months later that a disgraced lord ends up offering her
patronage and she ends up getting involved with his political maneuverings
and the story kind of takes off from there. So, I really enjoyed this book I
gave it a four out of five stars on Goodreads. Towards the end of the spoiler
free section of this review I will be kind of rating it on my own scale 'cause
I'm not a huge fan of the 5 star rating system that Goodreads uses even though
I'm kind of stuck with it on Goodreads. Usually when I rate books on Goodreads
I'm rating them solely based on how much I enjoyed it sometimes relative to
the other book that I've read and rated on Goodreads but yeah it's not usually
based on any criticisms that I may have of the book, just how much I enjoyed it.
Also my Goodreads ratings are more likely to change over time, but anyways
back to the review. So this book is a high fantasy book and the first thing
I'm going to say about it is that it's not as action-packed as most high
fantasy books are there are only like a few action sequences in this book and
they're over pretty quickly. This book focuses more so on politics and world
building and I really loved that. World building is one of my favorite aspects
of sci-fi/fantasy storytelling and so I was okay with this book not being as
action-packed as most of the sci-fi/fantasy books that I read. If it had
been I probably wouldn't be complaining about it but at the time that I was
reading this book I didn't really need it, so–in fact I found it kind of
refreshing that it wasn't super action-packed. However, if you're in the
mood for some action something more fast-paced, then this is not the book for
you, at least not right now. I do still highly recommend this book, but maybe
wait until you're in the mood for something like this in terms of plot it
could be a little bit predictable at times I'm not super mad about it because
I was trying to predict like what was gonna happen and I'm not gonna hold that
against the author when I was putting in the effort and I'm very rarely annoyed
by predictability I'll only be annoyed by it if it's like–if I predicted
something that I didn't want to happen. However, if you find that you're good at
predicting things without even trying and that bothers you
be aware that there are some things that you might see coming. There are
definitely things that did shock me and I never would have guessed, so it's not
entirely predictable just be aware that it might be a bit of an issue for you.
Also, the ending felt a little bit too easy, a little bit too quick. I think that
that's because the second book in this duology was originally supposed to be a
companion and not a direct sequel, so the author had a lot to wrap up in like ... what?
Four hundred and fifty pages? Maybe? And I knew that going into the book, so it
didn't bother me too much–it did a little bit but I kind of
expected it, you know? But yeah, this book definitely gives you a sense of closure
there's no big cliffhanger at the end that's not to say that I'm not super
excited for the second book. I do think that there's more story to tell and I
can't wait to see where it goes. So, let's talk about world-building for a
little bit. The world-building was probably my favorite part of this book.
Surprise, surprise. I keep going on and on about how much I love world building, but
yeah, there are two different kingdoms in this book with two different cultures
and histories to be explored and it's really really interesting
I don't want to say too much about it in the spoiler free section, but the world
building is really strong and it never felt like info-dumpy or anything to me.
So yeah, A-plus on the world building. So now let's talk about characters, starting
with the main character, Brienna. I really loved her. I was worried that I wouldn't
like her at first. Like, in the beginning she starts off not very confident in
herself, but she really comes into her own throughout the book and in a way
that I haven't seen recently. Again, I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll get
more into that in the spoiler section of this video, but yeah, I really loved her
and I'm glad that I did. There's also only one love interest in this book. No
love triangle which is also really refreshing I'm a shipper. I really do
enjoy love triangles, but it was nice to not have to root for one person over
another to be with a main character for once. Also the love story really takes
a back seat in this book. Like, for most of the book, the romance isn't even on
your radar until like you suddenly realize that you're really invested in
that relationship and it kind of sneaks up on you, which again, is just really
refreshing and I enjoyed it. Moving on to the main antagonist. Now, he
does pose an actual threat but he's not incredibly interesting. I found some of
his lackeys to be more interesting than he was, which is fine. I mean, I got
enough enjoyment out of some of the other characters and the world-building
for it not to be a huge problem for me. I know I've mentioned before how much I love
a good villain, but I don't always need it in a book and this is one of those
cases where other aspects of the book outshined the villain for me and that's
perfectly fine. Obviously, I still gave this book a pretty good rating and not
to mention, I mean, this book had a lot going on without the villain being super
complex so it wasn't really necessary. So overall I would give the world building
a 100%, the main protagonist a 95%, the side characters are 97%, villains an
80%, and plot 90%. Which brings us to a total grade of 93.4, which is
like, an A? Maybe an A-minus? I'd say it's an A, I really enjoyed it.
Also, bonus points for the amazingly gorgeous cover and there's this really
awesome map, there is a cast of characters and a list of the 14 houses
of Maevana and some family trees, which is really really cool. I kept referencing
these throughout the book. They were really awesome and useful, so yeah. So,
that's it for my spoiler free review of the Queen's rising at least I hope it
was spoiler free if you feel that some spoilers managed to, like, slip in, then let
me know down in the comments so that I can try to avoid that for future reviews.
But if you haven't read this book, go read it, come back, listen to my spoilery
thoughts and we can have a discussion down in the comments. If you have read
this book then keep on watching for more thoughts and feelings about this book so
the first thing that I want to mention in the spoiler-filled section of this
review is that, I loved the passion cloaks. I thought they were so cool. I really
want one, but like I want one for every passion. Also, how cool is it that they
incorporated four of the designs of the passion cloaks onto the cover? I thought
that was awesome and apparently the cover of the sequel has like four of the
house sigils in the corners, which is also really cool. I think these
covers are just awesome. Okay, so back to my review. So, again I loved the history
in this book and I loved that Brienna inherited her ancestor's memories. I
thought that was a really cool concept, especially because she's a passion of
knowledge and her ancestor played a big role in Maevana's history and a big
role in a part of history that was lost to most of the people, which was really
really cool. Although, those memories had really
terrible timing. I also love how she inherited her memories because of a
prophecy. I did not see that coming. Like, that's how you do the chosen one
trope. I thought that was really well done. Brienna's friendship with Merei is
so sweet and so pure and I loved it so much. I really hope to see them back
together again in the second book and even some of the other passion sisters
as well. That whole friend group at Magnalia house was just so great–minus the
drama with Ciri obviously. The king is a terrible king and he absolutely should
be taken off the throne, but like, I was never really all that afraid of him, like
to me it was just always obvious that he'd easily be defeated, like he didn't
seem to pose that much of a threat to the protagonist. Like, he definitely poses
a threat to the kingdom as a whole, just not Brienna and you know the people
that she's working with. And the only time I really felt apprehensive about
him was when Brienna first goes to meet him because all the other characters
have hyped up how vicious and ruthless he was but, after that first meeting I
wasn't all that worried about him, you know? Like, I feel like part of that might
have been because he didn't seem to feel all that threatened by the fact that the
Kavanaghs, the MacQuinns, and the Morganes were still alive. I don't know if
it was revealed to him at that point that all of them were alive, maybe it was
just the McQuinn's, but he didn't seem to feel threatened by that. He seemed to
want to kill them more so out of spite, um, than out of real fear for his position
and his power. At least, that's the impression that I got from that scene in
the throne room. I feel like if he felt that he had something to fear then he
would have had something to fight for and that would have raised the stakes a
little bit and made him a little bit of a better villain. Again, I didn't
absolutely need it from this book, but if– if I were to change something that's
what I would change. Allenach was a bit better
than the king as an antagonist that is, but I still wanted a bit more from him.
Like, there were a few times where I expected him to just like flip a switch
and do something monstrous and terrible, but he didn't and he was really trusting
of Brienna and that's where the resolution was a bit too easy for me
like it was a little too easy for her to trick him. His son Rian though. I was kind
of terrified of him, like, the most suspenseful scenes in this book were the
ones with him in it 'cause he's like–he's scary. I'm both kind
of disappointed and relieved that he was killed off so quickly. On the one hand I
would have liked to have seen more of him as a villain, but on the other I'm–he–
I was scared of him and I'm glad that I don't have to worry about him anymore. I
also love that the dog was the one to save Brienna from him. That dog is my
favorite. I want to see more of the dog in the sequel. Cartier is a precious bean
and I love him so much. And the funny thing is that if there had been a love
triangle, he would not have been the guy that I rooted for to be with Brianna.
Like, I usually root for the love interest with a little bit more edge to
them and yeah, I would have found Cartier to be, like, boring but since that wasn't
an issue I absolutely adored him. His relationship with Brienna is just the
sweetest thing and I can't wait to see more of them in the sequel. I can't wait
to get Cartier's point of view because the sequel is a dual narrative, so that's
exciting. I also loved Jourdain and Luc and Isolde as Brienna's, like, adoptive
family and I can't wait to see more of them in the sequel as well. And I can't
wait to see how Isolde handles the responsibility of ruling a kingdom, so
that'll be interesting, I think. I also really love Sean. I'm so glad that one of
Brienna's relatives–besides her grandfather–is not, like,
a terrible human being. And I'm glad that he's alive and I hope
that he and Brienna get to know each other better in the sequel. I know that
he's on thin ice Allenach's son, but I really hope he gets
a chance to prove that he's not his father. So, those are my thoughts on the
Queen's Rising by Rebecca Ross. Let me know what you guys thought of this book
down in the comments, if you've read it–I hope you've read it, if you've made it
this far into the video and listened to all my spoilery thoughts, but yeah, I would
love to discuss this book with you guys, and that's it for today's video. I hope
you guys enjoyed, if you did please give it a thumbs up and if you'd like to see

A $500 Knife Made for Chopping- The 10" Carothers Medium Chopper Review in 3V steel with actual use. - Duration: 11:46.
Now I dabble on blade forums.
I use it for info, research, and to watch people argue for pages about which is thicker
behind the edge, a convex or a flat grind.
The answer is beer of course.
Drink a fucking beer and put the keyboard down.
So needless to say I often times I don't read threads in the Manufacturers fan fiction
sub forum, or the Yes I paid $500 for a knife I can chop wood with real good with or use
once a year on my hunting trip in the Knifemakers sub forum.
In the latter forums, the knife makers section, I have missed one of my favorite categories
of shouldn't you just buy a goddamn axe, style knives, the Carothers 10" HD chopper.
Looks like this one has it's preorders closed, not that people who still ask for Ganzo reviews
who care.
Here's my review of the latest Ganzo.
It's about 4-5 ounces, 440c sharpens easy, has liners and some color of G10.
So let's take a look at the dimensions of this knife that cost half as much as my first
car- a 74 pontiac LeMans, for no one out there keeping track of Advanced Knife Bro trivia.
Would it surprise you if I said I did not in fact lose my virginity in that car?
Like the overall length and weight.
With and without the sheath with dangler attachment.
Let's talk car payments and prices right now, like this is a knife review.
Blade length and copping edge.
Did you know I have never paid more than $5000 for a car.
Handle Size and grip area.
My current one cost only $3900, so I could also have money left over for knives.
Why fix the AC when I could get another knife.
Spine, handle thickness, and edge.
My behind the edge measurement is a little more than the video I'll link at the end.
Always be skeptical of my behind the edge measurements, as well as most of the other
ones too.
Tallnesses.
The Carother's 10" HD chopping knife is a well thought out design.
As in they thought blade forums was ripe for the picking in it's supply of dudes who'll
pay $500 for a tank of a knife they might use or probably trade.
The possibilities of 3V are endless!
Starting with it's 10" full non sense blade with wood groove up top.
"That's not a wood groove."
Yeah it is, I said it's one.
Made for sweet beautiful chopping.
The blade is a stone washed finish in a drop point style with a slightly convex grind.
Looks like it might be flat, but I detect an ever so outward curve if the light hits
it right.
Out of the package the blade is razor sharp.
Now part of the price point on the knife is the 3V steel and it's special heat treat.
On Carothers website he chops nails with the knife, and beats through a cinder block.
And for the dad's watching, ready to post underneath that video that knives aren't
for cinder blocks… you're right that's what your new framing hammer is for.
The knife while not razor sharp after the fact, still has a sorta workable edge, which
is pretty impressive.
I mean new this one is razor sharp and it's steel will hold an edge for a long time, so
you shouldn't even have to Sharpen it before you eventually sell it to make rent.
Also 3v isn't rust free, so be sure to not let moisture sit on your blade after an especially
tactical adventure or just yard work the neighbors will talk about like me.
The handle.
It's simple and beautiful- like a knife should be and also with removable scales.
It has half polished micarta handle scales over a full tang.
Plenty of texture, but not harsh.
Nowhere on the grip area is a harsh edge, the ricasso is chamfered and the steel front
quillion is just as comfortable as the rest of the handle.
Also feels good in the palm with that nice swell.
It has a hidden lanyard hole on the back, and one up front too.
There's a little bit of innofennsive jimping on the blade spine for something to push against,
not harsh at all.
The sheath is kydex.
You can get the ridiculous tech clip offering or the preferred drop loop configuration.
I am sure there are useful ways of using a tech clip, but I've never found one.
Can you recycle them?
I've never carried a fix blade horizontal.
The kydex sheath is a tight fit, and the knife sorta clips into place deeper down than you'd
expect.
Retention when sheathed is great, even though there's no handle loop to snap.
There's a drain hole in the bottom for plant based goo.
The knife is significant, so when it's a dangling it feels like you have a brick tied to your
belt, and swings around as such.
I always refer back to zombie tools, but my Kukri has a nice kydex sheath with a leg loop,
and that keeps the knife swing to a minimum.
A cheap leg loop configuration would be a nice offering, and could probably net them
$50 more for a person willing to pay $500 for a knife!
One buckle and two pieces of paracord.
Comparisons.
This is nice knife.
The steel, the hand feel, the price, and the looks are all there.
Perfect for your cosplay at Bush-con and Dave Canturbiury outfit.
Dave would only carry a knife he designed!
And is ponytail band is made from tree bark faker!
Other than the sheath being a little less than adequest for the weight, I have no real
complaints about this knife.
It's a utilitarian extravagance for field testing artists everywhere- Carothers can
use that for their website if they want.
All I ask is for a free knife.
Now the Zombie tools Vakra.
This is a $280 chopper, with not what people are really into these days 5160 steel, which
is more rust prone than the 3v in the 10 inch chopper.
The handle on this one is reasonably comfortable, and the kukri shape gives it more meat in
the chopping area of the blade.
Kukris however aren't quite as batonable as a knife with a simple drop point.
It's longer reach means it also doubles as a machete.
Now the Junglas II.
Lighter, and smaller, but that means less chopping.
The handle is nicer on the Carothers too.
This is about a $150 knife, and the steel isn't as wear resistant as the 3v and it's
lighter almost puny looking even.
Cheaper steel means you have to sharpen it more in theory.
Now the BK-9.
The BK-9 also has a very nice handle because I paid $40 to upgrade it, pretty similar size
blade, but the Carothers edge is a bit further out from the handle because of the choil.
On a chopper, a blade that sits a little further away isn't bad.
I don't think I would use the choil for choking up, even though you might, but I appreciate
the extra reach it gives you.
Now the Skrama.
This knife also features a dangler sheath, it doesn't swing around as much as the 10"
chopper because it's lighter.
Longer handle too, and ultimately a little more comfortable because it's rubberized and
has a little more give if you squeeze it.
Now not really comparisons other than size.
This is an Esee 3- a reasonably sized outdoor fixed blade camp knife.
And an Ontario 18" machete.
Ok let's continue chopping.
If you were to need one chopper, a stupid statement if you're watching reviews about
fucking knives- this would be an excellent pick.
The price is incredibly steep for most people, but also most people don't need choppers,
or can find cheaper alternatives if they want to trade down in steel.
I don't own any knives quite as big as this one outside of my Kukris, which are my main
choppers.
Oh wait my $50 Aranyik cane machete I can split wood with… forgot- I own too many
knives.
You also have to take into consideration this is a much smaller company that doesn't have
the production capabilities like larger companies do... and concentrates more on each knife,
making sure it's right- otherwise you'd flame them on blade forums before sending
them an email like an adult.
Let's say they know their audience.
If you like using outdated comparisons, this is a Cadillac in the chopper category.
Maybe like an Escalade.
There is nothing I will do in the course of the test to dull this blade significantly
before sending it back , so you can assume the edge held fine and it's like new unless
I told you otherwise.
I rarely even dull smelly old 1095 in these tests, and have yet to sharpen the disgusting
5160 on my zombie tools vakra.
You might ask what I think it's worth- taking into consideration my choppers in the $50-$300
category… fit and finish is probably the best, and I'd wager I'd pay $350 if money
was no object for me.
Like it's not almost twice as good as my Zombie tools.
Anyway a few channel notes before I close.
My wife is about to give birth to our second child, so for sometime my video capability
might be greatly reduced.
If you're worried about me, and if I'm still into knives the answer will probably be uhh
sorta- but still not enough to have conversations with friends or family about knives ever.
But I'm into family more.
So the 2000-4000 cool people out of my 30k subscribers that eventually watch this- a
big thanks!
You can always shoot me a DM on instagram, and follow me there too, or send me an email
at advanced knife bro at gmail.com, a link available on my channel details to you and
any standard Chinese company offering me a wifi humidifier with ear buds for review.
A big thanks to the subscriber who sent me this, not seeking fame or fortune or anything
of value, other than helping me expand content on the channel.
And give the viewers ideas on what or what not to buy… can you skip some meals?
If you like this channel and enjoy this content think about signing up and donating to my
Patreon a few bucks a month, or sometimes buying stuff through my Amazon and blade HQ
links below the video.
I do sometimes take loaners on a case by case basis if they're interesting, and the same
goes for donations.
But because these videos take so long to write and make, I can't take everything that's offered.
I hope you understand.
Anyway, subscribe, comment, give the video a thumbs up, follow me on Instagram, if you'd
like to see my new kid when it arrives, but mostly pictures of knives and beer.
Thanks for watching.
A $500 Knife Made for Chopping or The 10" Carothers HD Chopper Review in 3V steel.
Yes with actual use.
The Carothers 10" Chopper is a $500 Cadillac of knives.
It uses a 10 inch blade made from 3V steel to renderer it nearly indestructible.
In this video art I chop, baton, and break up a bunch of limbs in my back yard.
I compare it to my Zombie Tools Vakra which is about $280.
These knives are currently sold out, but Carothers sells their stuff n Blade Forums.
It's big, balanced, and comfortable.
You'll also see the Becker BK-9, an Esee Jungles 2, and a Skrama.
Please do not attempt anything seen in this video unless you want to lose a limb.

that I had.
Not only did I meet the founder, but I was able to chat with some of the people that
would be on the account as well and hearing from your existing clients and your past clients

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Review & Analysis - Duration: 12:49.
Happy Halloween! So in the spirit of the holiday and also because it just came out
today I'm going to review the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina alludes and it's definitely inspired by a
series of horror-ish titles like Beetlejuice, The Craft, An American
Werewolf in London, Jeepers Creepers etc but its horror label is not right.
It is mildly spooky in certain parts - there is a scene about cannibalism, some eerie
representations of Satan - but generally its most uneasy parts have nothing to do
with witchcraft or satanism, but rather in the way it showcases America's
inability to come to terms with its puritanical past and the way in which
people from both the mortal and the magic world are silenced in an attempt
to keep the status quo - which is in itself fairly political. It definitely
shares similarities both in its atmosphere that in its folklore with
American Horror Story. If you watched and enjoyed the 2015
indie horror movie The Blackcoat's Daughter featuring boat Shipka and Emma
Roberts, you'll definitely like the chilling Adventures of Sabrina. However
in comparison to Shipka's role in that movie and her most famous role that of
Sally Draper in Mad Men sometimes her representation of Sabrina falls a little
flat in certain crucial points and that is because in those roles Shipka is very
good at being and looking mischievous, but Sabrina requires a more fierce presence
that Shipka is still trying to fully embrace. I've seen that the show is being
compared by a lot of people and reviewers alike to Buffy the Vampire
Slayer. Now if you follow my channel you know that I'm a huge fan of Buffy and
during the years I have seen many shows being compared as the new Buffy but
simply because this show deals with the supernatural and it features a female
blonde lead that doesn't make the show as brilliant as Buffy was. There are
definitely similarities. For example Sabrina adopts
the same monster-of-the-week structure which Buffy adopted in earlier seasons;
there is a level of campiness which was typical of 90s supernatural shows like
Buffy and Charmed, specifically in its demons.
You have the city of Greendale with its mines that acts as a sort of Hellmouth.
However these and many other homages that the series incorporates in its
storytelling are more a representation of how the series still needs to find
its tone. In the first season it did borrowed quite a lot from very different
sources and that makes it sometimes a little bit derivative. But the show
definitely managed to elevate the typical teen witch story showcasing a
fictional world where witchcraft isn't just a plot device to deliver cheesy
one-liners but an actual power that causes each character to question,
challenge and sacrifice itself. In that sense, with more focus and a clearer
direction, the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has potential to be a more
original series with an interesting heroine leading it. Alternatively, although it
is technically a reboot from the very popular 90s serious Sabrina the Teenage
Witch, it is so different in tone content and aesthetics that apart from very
basic characteristics taken from the Archie comics they have very little in
common. Sabrina the Teenage Witch was mostly a sitcom with silly magic and dorky
but also awesome characters and it should have been scoffed out back in the
90s it was an original view of the stereotypical kind of super-powered
witch. In the Chilling Adventures, Sabrina is much darker and rebellious. This shows'
representation of magic is more aligned with the medieval and renaissance
concept of witches which were believed to receive their powers from dark
sources. Salem, the feline familiar of Sabrina is not a smart-ass animatronic
anymore but rather a demonic and quite spooky figure which takes the form of a
cat. I like both versions of Salem the problem is exactly that he is my favorite
character and in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina he's pushed aside
and has very little screen time. I need the cat to have more screen time.
It seems like its typical sidekick role has mostly been occupied by Ambrose
Sabrina's cousin, which is a very interesting character both in the
challenges that he faces and there are far more difficult to portray as he is
literally confined in this Spellman's house, and the depiction of his sexuality
or rather pansexuality. One of the most positive aspects of the Chilling
Adventures of Sabrina is indeed its progressive casting and representation
of diversity. Since the pilot, the Chilling Adventures frames social issues
as a central part of the show: women's rights, challenging the patriarchy,
creating an inclusive space for non-binary and sexually fluid characters,
are placed at the forefront of its narratives. Sabrina deals not only with
the consequences of her duality - being half-witch and half-human - but also with
the limitations that she encounters as a teenage girl and that she soon realize
are inherent of both of the worlds in which she lives in. Pretty much every
woman in the series is limited in either scope, power, identity or possibilities by
an authority male figure. The girls in the high school are limited in their
development by the headmaster; Sabrina's friend Susie' identity is continuously
questioned by bullies; Prudence and the Weird Sisters' actions are engineered by
the High Priest; and Satan itself is clearly depicted as the ultimate patriarch.
Aunt Hilda recounts of how back in her days young witches didn't have much
choice in delivering themselves to the Dark Lord and in an odd legal
case against Sabrina, one of the persecutor's main points is that she
couldn't refused now the Dark Lord because of the way that she was dressed back then.
When Sabrina snaps at her aunts saying that she "had worse done to her"
referring to her inability to consent in a specific circumstance that echoes the
way that the #metoo survivors have said to feel like. Likewise in this scene -
the term 'witch hunt' evokes the language which has been used to delegitimize
the #metoo movement. In this sense, the show aesthetics aim to be timeless but
most of its core messages are definitely rooted in the present. Sometimes the
show's progressiveness is a little bit too literal specifically in the first
episodes - which is by the way a problem of over-reliance on exposition which is
evident in many other areas of the show - however to completely disregard the
relevancy of the times in which we live in as I've seen done by some
commentators claiming that they "came for the entertainment not the propaganda",
it's quite preposterous. It is exactly in its binomial representation of
witchcraft and femininity that the show puts forward important questions
regarding the grand narratives of the series.
By linking the cultural and supernatural elements the Chilling
Adventures of Sabrina moves flawlessly in key themes about questioning
allegiance, power and corruption as a way to achieve self-awareness and real
communal spirit. It is not a mere good versus evil story, but rather a
rebellious coming-of-age story that makes Sabrina reject inherited traditions
which eventually lead to conflict between its characters and its
communities like the coven.
Most of its supernatural analogues stem from old injustices - what
has been done to a certain group of people in certain parts of the town like
in the woods or in certain times. Crimes were committed exactly because of the
way in which the system has been designed and perpetrated. Sabrina rebels
against this oppression in both worlds as a way to depict her own worth and
exercise her individual power. That's how witchcraft can become a
successful metaphor for female power. It is instead in its more simplistic
representations like its focus on the mortal world, the somehow
unappealing relationship with Harvey, and its more high school soapy elements, where
the show declines in quality. Harvey is supposed to be
Sabrina's one true anchor to the mortal world, but their relationship feels quite
weak, at best. Not to mention that because we are so focused on the more engaging
battles of Sabrina, the personal issues which can make Harvey a more interesting
character, such as his obvious lack of control which also stem from abuse, are
not as developed as they should be. There is an over-reliance in boring cliches
and tropes like the Mean Girls, the typical football bullies of the school,
the evil principal, etc. the Academy itself is treated more as a random plot device
which is always in the background and only used as a way to reinforce said
tropes. In its long list of inspirations the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
forgot to recognize the relevancy of Harry Potter in its own representation
of the Academy. if the latter would be more similar to Hogwarts and would have
a pivotal role in making Sabrina stronger,
Sabrina's rise to power in the latest episodes would feel more credible.
The Spellman's house and mortuary is instead an incredibly interesting place which is
quite well examined in the first season. Specifically the co-dependent and
disturbing relationship between Sabrina aunts, Zelda and Hilda, which is
reminiscent of Cain and Abel story, gives Sabrina's world a much needed depth.
Depth which I feel is instead lacking in Riverdale - the show coming
from the same fictional world of Sabrina and that has been developed for
television by the same creator. He has said that Sabrina is more innocent than Riverdale
and my thoughts are exactly the opposite. Sure Sabrina doesn't utilize the same
hormone driven rhetoric between its high school characters as Riverdale does but
it does deal with far more adult themes. The shows share similar aesthetics,
similar over exposition, but the Chilling Adventures feel more grounded in its
darkness than Riverdale. That's why we could say that Riverdale and the
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are somehow cousins but they won't necessarily share the same audience.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina ENDING EXPLAINED + Season 2 Theory - Duration: 9:02.
Sabrina Spellman has cast her spooky spell over Netflix in a dark, twisted new tale.
Yippee-ki-yay, movie lovers, it's Jan here and today I'm talking all about the Chilling
Adventures of Sabrina, what the Season 1 ending really means, some crucial details you might
have missed in the finale, and my season 2 theories.
Keep watching till the end where I'll explain why we might see feline Salem actually speak
next season.
Spoilers ahead, so take care if you're not all caught up or if you prefer tap here to
watch my spoiler-free review.
All season Sabrina resists pledging her allegiance to the Dark Lord, but when Miss Wardwell resurrects
the Greendale 13 who in turn summon the Red Angel of Death, Sabrina is pressured into
signing her name in the Book of the Beast.
Doing this moves Sabrina's powers to a new level, allowing her to summon forth hellfire
which burns the souls of the reanimated witches.
Now, there's an interesting detail here which you'll need to look carefully at because the
scene is quite dark, but as Sabrina completes her transformation into a full witch, you
can see white streaks taking over her hair.
We can appreciate that more fully in the final shot of the episode and it's actually a nice
nod to Sabrina's white hair in the comics.
Sabrina's definitely embraced her darker nature, strutting along and seemingly leading the
Weird Sisters now, and you can see Nicholas Scratch's rather concerned reaction when he
sees this, which is understandable when you consider the sisters' nefarious deeds this
season.
Also revealed in the finale is why Miss Wardwell, aka Lilith or Madame Satan, worked so hard
to manipulate Sabrina into signing her name in the Book of the Beast.
By securing Sabrina's allegiance, Madame Satan believes she'll soon reign as Queen of Hell
as a reward.
Her familiar Stolas, however, points out that it seems more likely that Satan's true plan
is to groom Sabrina to sit on the throne by his side.
Madame Satan's clearly displeased with this idea and snaps the crow's neck, indicating
that, if that does happen, she'll deal with Sabrina in a similar fashion.
If we go back over the season there's plenty of clues that suggest the Dark Lord has a
more particular interest in Sabrina than Lilith might like to think.
Consider how powerful Sabrina became after signing her name in the book.
When she summoned hellfire against the Greendale 13, she became only the fourth witch in history
to ever achieve that.
There seems to be something about Sabrina that makes her of special interest to Satan.
Remember that the marriage of Edward Spellman to the mortal Diana was approved via a special
dispensation with Satan himself even blessing the union, but Edward had to offer his child
in exchange.
Perhaps Satan's interested in her human half because it could afford him some additional
power or hold over the mortal world.
Let me know if you've got any theories.
Madame Satan will prove no pushover though next season as she's still got Brina fooled
that Miss Wardwell is just a regular witch and I think she'll be able to continue tricking
Sabrina into thinking she's a helpful ally for some time.
However, something I noticed in Wardwell's final scene is that she has the Red Angel
of Death figurine displayed prominently on her mantelpiece.
That seems to be the same figure that Ambrose found when he discovered the Greendale 13
had been resurrected.
And if Sabrina or Ambrose notice it next season, they might realise there's something up with
Miss Wardwell.
Another twist at the end of the season was when we discover that Zelda has stolen away
Father Blackwood's daughter to raise her together with Hilda.
Zelda lied to Blackwood about the child because she was actually the first born and therefore
his rightful heir.
Lady Blackwood had previously told Zelda that her husband really wanted a male heir and
so Zelda feared for the baby girl's safety.
It's quite possible Blackwood might deliberately harm the new baby if he knew she was the first
born over her younger twin brother.
"The Church of Night is ours, boys."
"This is the Dark Lord's sign."
"His blessing... that we are in the right."
"Hail to my firstborn son."
"Hail Judas."
"Hail Judas!"
A quick side note here, notice how horrified Ambrose is at what's going on in this scene,
which will likely put him in conflict next season with his boyfriend Luke, who seems
to be all on board with Blackwood's new warlock supremacy movement.
Going back to Blackwood's twin daughter, there's another potential kink in Zelda's plan to
raise a girl who might challenge Blackwood's attempt to establish an all-male hierarchy
at the Church of Night; and that is Prudence.
This season Prudence discovered that she's Blackwood's daughter but, because she was
born out of wedlock, her claim as his heir comes second to Blackwood's children born
of his wife.
However, remember what Sabrina told Pru:
"If you were Father Blackwood's daughter, you could one day lay claim to the Church
of Night, this school, everything, but you'd have to get rid of his legitimate heirs first."
What if Prudence decides to hatch her own plot to dispatch both of Blackwood's legitimate
children?
It really feels the show is setting up some serious battles over who runs the Church of
Night next season.
One mystery set up this season that I'm hoping we'll get some answers to in season 2 is what
really happened with Sabrina's parents?
Zelda and Hilda repeatedly insist there was no foul play involved in their death; however,
the Weird Sisters dropped a big hint that that's probably not the case:
"You don't want what happened to your mother and father to happen to you."
"What did you say?"
"The accident... that took their lives...
It would be tragic if a similar one befell you."
Father Blackwood definitely had issues with Edward Spellman's ideas about reforming the
Church of Night and we know that Madame Satan also resents Sabrina's parents.
When the Mother of Demons takes over Miss Wardwell's body she curses Edward and calls
Diana a "mortal sow".
In the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics, Madame Satan and Edward Spellman were originally
lovers until he betrayed her in favour of Diana, and it'll be interesting to see whether
that also becomes part of Madam Satan's backstory in the TV show.
Like Sabrina, Aunt Hilda discovers a new path for herself by the end of the season when
she strikes up a relationship with bookstore owner Dr Cerberus.
With Hilda's confidence in herself growing, she decides she wants some more autonomy from
her sister and announces she's moving out of the room they share together.
But there's a hint that things won't play out so smoothly, because as Dr Cerberus walks
away from the Spellman house, his eyes flash for a split second, suggesting there's another
side to the bookstore owner.
In Greek mythology, Cerberus was a multi-headed dog who kept watch over the gates to the Underworld,
and whatever Dr Cerberus's true nature is, it'll be interesting to see what part he plays
next season.
As for Sabrina's romantic situation, although she clearly still loves Harvey, in the final
scene they share together she tells him that something dark has awakened inside her so
it's not safe for her to be around him.
This is a familiar trope we've seen many times in film and TV, especially for superheroes,
for example, Spider-Man decides it's too dangerous for him to be with Mary Jane.
But these things never really work out and so even if Sabrina has a fling with Nick,
her true feelings will probably remain with Harvey.
And this love triangle could be dangerous if Nick ends up falling for Sabrina.
Nick previously said he was jealous of how mortals love each other and he seems to have
a special affection for Brina.
A hot topic for many fans of the old-school Sabrina sitcom is her cat Salem who, in this
new series, only spoke out loud briefly in season 1, and that was in his goblin form
when he introduced himself as her familiar.
However, when we hear Madame Satan's crow talking to her in the finale, I think the
showrunners may be teasing the possibility of a talking Salem in season 2.
I don't expect we'll be getting the kind of sassy and sarcastic wit that was so iconic
in Sabrina The Teenage Witch as it probably wouldn't fit the tone of this new show.
But I think some more Salem talking moments would help develop his character a bit more
and give us more insight into his personality.
There's been a lot of talk about a Riverdale crossover with Sabrina and there were lots
of references to the popular CW show in the first season of Chilling Adventures plus a
surprise cameo which I talk more about in my other Sabrina video.
There's a card for that here plus a link in the video description below.
I suspect that for the moment in season 2, any crossover would be limited to a cameo
again because a full-on crossover might be tricky to pull off given the differing aesthetics
of the two shows.
However, Sabrina or Harvey could turn up briefly in Riverdale to set up a more substantial
crossover in the future.
And with Riverdale seeming to go full-on supernatural in Season 3, a cameo like this could be feasible
to pull off.
Let me know if you've got any thoughts on how the shows could cross over.

Mega Man 11 | Review GameProTV - Duration: 6:24.
One of the most beloved characters in the world of videogames returns with Mega Man 11,
the new installment of the saga that returns to its playable origins and adds a renewed
visual aspect, together with new mechanics that you can discover in our analysis.
Mega Man 11 is an action game and platforms of side scrolling that remains
as challenging as always has been rest of the saga, but that incorporates small
adjustments that make you feel current and very satisfactory.
His story centers again on the Doctor Wily, who when he was young developed the
Double Mega prototype, the Doctor refusing Light to its creation by the problems that
could cause and so focus on your research, the robots with independent thinking.
Nowadays it has managed to work effectively, so he decides to use it
in the Robot Masters to try to get revenge of Doctor Light, since he finished with his
dream. Here our protagonist comes into play,
Mega Man, who will leave again to put end your plans.
As you can see, it is not an argument too worked, but deepens in the relationship that had
between the two doctors and why Wily hated both to Light. In addition all the texts of the
game comes to us in Spanish, so no you will have no problem to follow the
plot.
Going into the gameplay, its mechanics they are very conservative, we can shoot, recharge
to boost it, jump or slide to avoid certain traps or obstacles, together
with the possibility of calling our pet Rush to use as a dock or to fly
in a certain direction, although using it has a cost
In total you will find eight bosses to defeat, as well as other levels that lead us to face
to Dr. Wily. Also, as is usual in the franchise,
by defeating the bosses we get a power similar to yours that we can use our
favor in exchange for a portion of a bar special, although you can recover it with
certain objects that you find on stage and the fallen enemies.
As a major novelty we have the Double system Mega, which allows us to boost our shots
with the Megapower or slow down the time with the Megavelocity. Although when using our
protagonist the prototype that Dr. Wily, this is a bit defective, so
that we can only use it temporarily, that if it overheats we have to wait
that recovers. In general, it is very well implemented, with
perfectly studied phases and enemies so that we have to take advantage of it, especially
in the highest difficulties.
And speaking of levels, these have some great designs that force us to act
With caution at every step. They are all very different each other and offer a different challenge than the one
we have to adapt to be able to overcome them. They also have some secrets and, on
all, multitude of different enemies related with the theme of the scenario in question,
having all of them a weak point that we should know. But the best are the battles against
the chiefs and chiefs, with movements very powerful and patterns that occasionally
it will cost you to dodge until you have them studied thoroughly.
Regarding the difficulty, we have four different levels: Novice, Amateur, Normal
and Superhero. They are perfectly adjusted, although we already warned you to complete the adventure
It is quite complicated if you are not used to it to the franchise, with quite long stretches
with hardly any intermediate control points that they make us accurately measure each
movement that we make.
One aspect that we liked a lot is that between levels we can visit the Laboratory
of Doctor Light, where we can buy different aid for adventure with screws
that we have obtained during the game. Be they Support objects or pieces that offer certain
advantage. They are very useful for those who see themselves
in difficulty, unlocking new objects as we move forward in the adventure. In addition all
the purchased parts can be equipped or removed when we want, finding some that even
they increase the challenge more. Although perhaps the biggest negative point is
the duration of the main adventure, which round only five hours, always depending
Yes, of your skill level. But do not worry, there are enough incentives
that will make you want to replay it, in addition in a way Challenges with challenges of the most
dispares, online leaderboards, and a gallery with a multitude of designs that
They make us have a game for a long time.
Finally, the graphic section preserves the charm of the deliveries of yesteryear, but
Now all done three-dimensionally. The characters are brilliantly designed
and animated, with quite detailed scenarios and whose routes have been studied until
more minimum detail. It is true that there are elements that can be improved, such as
somewhat simple backgrounds, but this helps not to divert attention from our
objective, making the interactive elements be perfectly visible Comment also
that works with total fluidity, without the Gameplay suffers in no time.
For its part, we have good sound levels melodies and very varied, great effects,
and audio in both Japanese and English, both of an excellent quality. And as we have
advanced, all texts come to us in Spanish. In conclusion, Mega Man 11 is the title
that all the fans of the franchise expected, staying true to its playable roots,
with a difficulty that will test all your dexterity, an audio visual aspect
renewed and adjustments in their mechanics to adapt to the times.
Maybe it is missing something longer for the campaign, but it is very replayable and
It has various challenges and extras that They make us have a game for a long time.
A title that we recommend especially to all his followers or those who seek
a great challenge, having also launched at a reduced price that makes it very appetizing
and that leaves us wanting to see soon another new delivery

[REVIEW] Call of Cthulhu - The Videogame: Yes or Not? - Duration: 10:32.
Let's talk about myths, let's talk about horror and talk about one of the most anticipated video games of 2018!
We are the D20 Nation and this is our review of Call Of Chtulu, the videogame.
Based on role-playing games that bear the same name and inspired by the wonderful works of H.P Lovecraft,
the Cyanide Studio and the Focus Home Interactive have "summoned" the best from the lovecraftian's literature
strongly respecting the expected standards .
We played it in preview , we lived it and above all ...
we made a steep descent towards the madness that the creators of this game wanted to tell.
Call of Chtulu aims to combine horror dynamics together with highly accentuated investigative aspects and to combine them
with mechanics typical of classic role players, catapulting the player into a spiral of events
that will lead him to seriously doubt his mental lucidity.
In Call of Chtulu we will follow the story of Edward Pierce, veteran of the First World War
with symptoms of post-traumatic stress and now private investigator.
The events took place in 1924, when he was subjected to a disturbing case
that sees the murder of an entire family known as the Hawkins
We will therefore be traveling to the charming island of Darkwater
(a reassuring name, do not you find?)
Just south of Boston, to shed light on the issue.
We have shot long or in the available locations of the island, which, by the way,
is the most horrible city hole in which an unfortunate private investigator could be.
Friendly people, unforgettable scenery and above all clean streets!
Good! These things you surely WILL NOT find in Darkwater!
One of the strengths that can be traced right away in the game is how the context prizes curiosity.
In fact, the investigation is a very central point of the game world and those who
know the writings of Lovecraft, will find very pleasant the importance given to such mechanics.
These dynamics are also influenced (and above all) by the feeling that the inhabitants of Darkwater transmit
each of them, in fact, seems to hide something, to hide unspeakable secrets that would push the player
to analyze all the available lines of dialogue, and then painting a real personal investigation.
Every detail is important to the resolution of the case and such details are mixed perfectly with the narrative
that seems very much like those of Lovecraft.
The narration, in fact, appears very slow from the beginning (typical flow of the author)
and then takes an unexpected surge as soon as the first hint of pure madness comes out.
There are many points that have left us speechless when we came into contact with the various scenes
that have put a strain on our "sanity".
In fact, the players will feel masters of the story and then discover that all their theories
have been questioned by a single detail: the unexpected horror.
Needless to say that, in some moments, we are LITTERALLY jumped off the chair for the fear
and from the vision of "unspeakable" atrocities that have upset, beyond the protagonist ... us too!
It is easy, for the mortals of the Lovecraft worlds, not to believe in pagan superstitions
or unknown cults and here this feeling is resumed in the best way.
The concerning mechanics of "mental health" appears to be thorough, well thought out and especially appropriate
to the terrifying visions in which Pierce will meet.
summarizing in a simple menu, the most frightening and incisive events
experienced by the player and the effects they have had on his psyche.
Our level of sanity, which can only increase if we see things that actually appear disturbing to our character,
could also affect our options for dialogue and interaction with the various NPCs
Within the game menu we can also find the mechanics that can be linked to the "Call of Chtulhu" roleplay game edition.
Skill tree is the fulcrum that allows us to give our investigator
very different nuances between them and that will affect not only the lines of dialogue
but also on the details that the character will notice and on the deductions he makes during his investigations.
Particular attention then, gives to some skills that can not be increased through the classic system of leveling
Occultism and Medicine; these two skills allow the player a different approach
to strange situations and allow to find alternative ways to otherwise unexplained events.
So we come to the real investigation, which on Call of Chtulhu
is mainly represented by the RECONSTRUCTION MODE.
In this way the player can enter into a sort of mental reflection of what Pierce sees and focuses
actions, voices, objects and deductions can be reconstructed
based on a mix of visual and auditory attention that involves the player
and that the latter can increase to bring new evidence and clues to light.
There are many ways to achieve a goal and it is not limited to forced roads
that force the investigative experience to the usual annoying "straight way".
The investigation walks step by step with the strong presence of a narration functional and fluent
although some Lovecraft fans could consider very classic the events related to case of Darkwater
in our opinion is one of the most fascinating and engaging story told in a videogame, of the last years.
From this it is clear how the development team has taken into great consideration the Lovecraftian literature
and how it nourishes a deep knowledge of the issues that affect both the role-playing game
based on the homonymous world and the thought of the "solitaire of Providence".
The plot reflects a marked sense of the unknown through even minor goals
and enigmatic characters from disturbing traits.
Call of Chtulhu , in this sense, is defined as an absolutely symbolic game
perfectly in line with the Lovecraft style of horror, of the unknown and of madness.
However, we must oppose harsh criticism regarding what concerns the technical sector.
The graphics left us a little perplexed; in fact, wandering here and there
in the various areas of the Darkwater streets, we often come across low quality textures
animations a bit too mechanical that distort the fluidity of the narration
and particle effects that leave a lot to be desired.
Of course, we are far from triple A production like The Witcher or Assassin's Creed
that resume qualitative technical standards much higher
but the charm of Call of Chtulhu shows up against the current, symbolic and elegant
we would almost say ... not suitable for everyone.
The game, therefore, was affected by the production time that has been postponed several times.
and that probably had been designed to be commercialized a few years ago
But all in all, the bad graphics are something we can forgive.
The investigator, is primarily (and is essential to keep this in mind for the duration of the game ) a human;
full of fear, trauma and phobias
Just as in the Lovecraft's works, here the human being is the last of the thoughts of the creatures
that devour this world and, as such him, is weak and frail.
This is outlined by the many purely stealth sessions that we should face to escape the horrors
of the mysteries of Darkwater and the impossibility of fighting against what the character most fears.
During the game, for example, in the part that will see the Sanatorium as a place of action
(and in many others) we will find ourselves wandering without an indicator of direction
fearing also the possibility of going crazy for fear or being the victim of crazy hallucinations.
Everything is embellished by the sounds that we found simply sublime
and able to engage in moments of suspense as only a few other games have been able to do.
The icing on the cake are the quotes and references that the creators wanted to include in the game
and that Lovecraft's fans will surely appreciate; you can find ironical phrases like:
get the Steam trophies that recall the titles of the most famous writings, such as THE WHITE SHIP
and who knows ... maybe come in contact with some iconic object from the world of Lovecraft.
We will not tell you of course anything about the ending but we can reveal to you that there is not only one
and this is determined by many factors, first of all the mental health accumulated during the game.
It is usually within the author's universe to gain conclusions based on occult discoveries
or simply what is ignored.
In Call of Chtulhu this will actually take place, giving the player a final worthy of his choices.
We strongly recommend Call of Cthulhu to Lovecraft fans and, in general, to fans of the horror genre.
The work is artistically sublime and able to give deep and pungent emotions
managing to convey anxiety and the primordial fear of the unknown.
As already mentioned, the game has a strong soul, however,
if players look for a flawless technical work, they may be disappointed.
For those looking for a horror-psychological work,
Darkwater is the right place!
That said, our review of Call of Chtulu end here and wish you a nice holiday pleasure
on the island of Darkwater, where you expect good food, good people and a lot of madness in season!
