Jeep Wrangler TJ Omix-ADA Wide Fender Flares (1997-2006) Review & Install - Duration: 10:38.
These wide fender flares are for those of you that have a 1997 to 2006 TJ that are looking
to replace those factory fender flares with ones that are gonna be a little bit wider
to cover a wider tire or a wheel with a little bit less backspacing.
In some places, you'll need a wider flare in order to remain legal on the road and in
some cases, you just want that extra tire coverage to keep the tires from throwing junk
up on the side of the Jeep.
Whatever your reasoning is, these are going to be otherwise very factory looking flares
just a little bit wider.
These are gonna be a pretty easy installation and I'm gonna show you how to install them
in just a second.
So as I mentioned, these are going to be very similar to a factory flare, just a little
bit wider.
A lot of other aftermarket flares will have a lot of other stuff going on.
You can find rivet style or pocket style, you can find them that are wider or narrower,
flat flares, or sometimes even metal ones, so a ton of different choices out there.
But if you're a big fan of that factory styling, you just want a little bit more tire coverage,
this is absolutely the way to go.
This is going to be nice and simple, it's going to install very easily and it's going
to give you exactly what you're looking for.
These flares are also very reasonably priced, at least in my opinion.
These are gonna be right around that $130 mark and you're going to get not only the
four main flares that you see but also the flare extensions that go directly behind the
front tires.
So if you're somebody who currently has those installed, you wanna replace those as well,
this kit is going to include it.
Another nice thing that this kit includes is all of the hardware that you need to get
these installed.
The installation of this, again, is very, very simple but if you have an older TJ, and
let's be honest, even the newer TJs are getting a little bit older, you may have a little
bit of rust on your Jeep and you may need to change out some of the hardware in order
to get the new flares installed.
The good news is this kit includes all of the hardware that you need to get that done.
So between the quality, the fit, the fact that these are just a simple factory style
but wider flare that comes with all the hardware, make it very worth the cost for these flares.
I said a couple of times now that the install is pretty straightforward, let me show you
how to do it.
So for our installation, we used an 8-millimeter socket on a 3/8 impact.
We also needed a 10-millimeter socket to remove the turn signal and a couple of adapters because
that was a smaller quarter-inch drive socket.
So the first step in this installation is going to be, of course, removing the factory
fender flares from the Jeep and the first step in doing that is removing the socket
from this turn signal and I do that first so I don't forget about it later.
Otherwise, you get to the last bolt on the flare, go to pull it off the Jeep, and you
can pull that wire a little bit taut.
So just give that socket a quarter turn here, that'll release out of the housing, you can
see that here, and we'll just tuck that away in the corner, again, just so we don't damage
any of the wiring or the bulb.
Now we're free to remove all of the bolts that are holding the fender flare into place.
So the way these flares are held on is by bolting through the flare into a nutsert that's
in the body of the Jeep.
And this is going to be the most difficult part of the uninstallation and installation
for some of you that have older TJs and let's face it, even the newest TJ is a little bit
older these days.
If you have some rust on your Jeep and that bolt is rusted into the nutsert, when you
turn the bolt, it can spin the whole nutsert and make things very difficult to get them
apart.
You may end up having to cut off some of the bolt heads, drill out some the nutserts, reinstall
new nutserts.
That's all stuff that is a possibility for you depending on how your Jeep is, how much
rust it has on it, and how easily things come apart for you.
What I will say is go ahead and spray everything with a good penetrating oil well before you
get started, maybe spray it a couple of times.
If you can get to the backside of some of these, spray that.
Some of them are captured, but some you can get to the backside of.
Spray everything good, that will make it as easy as possible for you, but do know that
if you have some rust, you may end up having to cut and drill out some nutserts.
All of that being said, we've recently replaced everything on this Jeep, so that should be
nice and easy for us.
We're going to be using a pneumatic impact here, a pneumatic socket driver.
That's just because it's nice and small.
It can get up in these tight places and we're gonna buzz all of these bolts out to get the
fender flare off the Jeep.
So the first step in the installation of your new flares is to install the turn signal into
the flare and it goes in the same way it came out of your factory flare.
It's just going to snap into place like so and then that small clip nut will go on right
over top.
Now that that's done, we can get the flare installed on the Jeep.
Get the flare on the Jeep, you have a couple of indexing pins here that go into these holes
on the body and then we can go ahead and reinstall all of our factory hardware.
Once we have all the bolts tightened down on the main flare there, we can move to the
smaller mini flare that goes right here.
As you can see, our Jeep didn't have the factory mini flare in this location.
Some of you might also be missing that piece.
Sometimes people just take them off because they don't like the look of it, or maybe you
had a rocker guard installed at one time that covered this area, whatever the case may be,
this kit includes all six flares so we're going to install all six of them.
We're going to use the same factory style hardware that we used to hold this flare into
place and these three nutserts here to bolt this up.
Now we can move on to the flare on the rear here and this is going to install in the same
way that the front flare did, the only difference is back here, of course, no turn signal.
So we're gonna hold this up to the Jeep, probably get a couple of these upper bolts started
by hand just to hold everything in place then work from the front to the back putting all
the bolts in and tightening them down.
Once you have all three pieces installed on one side, you can go ahead and move on to
the other side and do the exact same process and that'll finish up the install.
So if you are looking for a new set of fender flares that are going to look pretty much
like factory ones just a little bit of wider for some more tire coverage, I would recommend
this option and you can find it right here at extremeterrain.com.

Xiaomi 33 Inch Soundbar (Mi TV Soundbar) Review - Duration: 3:29.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've been using this Xiaomi Mi TV Soundbar.
And before I continue with this review, I think I have to say this, you shouldn't be
disappointed if your expectations are not too high.
It's a budget soundbar, alright, and it sounds really good for the price, but there are some
shortcomings you should definitely put into consideration if you're buying this.
So, what's good about this soundbar.
I got this for about $80 on Gearbest and for that price, the sound quality is amazing.
Watching movies on this, the dialogue is really emphasized, it sounds quite loud and I should
say that I'm impressed.
But sometimes, vocals migjt take a hit when watching scenes with lots of bass.
Hooking this up with my PS4 gives you the kind of sound that makes your gaming totally
immersive.
But if you're an audiophile, I'm not sure you would enjoy listening to music on this.
The bass is alright, but not that kind of solid, thumping sound that breaks down walls.
And if you have a very large living room, you might have to consider something a lot
more powerful than this.
But for my small living room, I think it's perfect.
So far you're not comparing this with pricey soundbars, I don't think you should be disappointed
too.
And you should keep it in mind that this is not a surround speaker.
You've got 5 audio input options.
SPDIF Optical, SPDIF Coaxial, this old school Line in input, auxillliary input for your
3.5mm audio jack, and of course Bluetooth.
Normally, this should work with everything-- TV, console, PC, your monitor, your smartphone.
To switch between these input options, you just need to press the right button here at
the top.
Keep in mind that there's no HDMI input, No WIFi... bu then, you can't complain at this
price point, right?
it's pretty wide at 33-inches and it's got 8 front-firing drivers.
you can also mount it on the wall if that's what works for you.
As for the design, It's all white and the fabric here at the front looks really cool.
I must say that it's really beautiful to look at.
The general design sort of reminds you of Google Home... but I would've picked a black
one if there was one.
This color doesn't really fit my all black black setup... but then, that's not a problem
since I would be using it with my scepter monitor in the office anyway.
Now there's a problem you might face using this soundbar with your TV.
In my own case, the TV remote volume controls doesn't work with external speakers whether
it's connected through optical or other options... and unfortunately, this soundbar doesn't come
with an infrared remote.
Now, imagine standing up just to turn down the volume every now and then.
Super inconvenient.
Another issue is the delay you experience when using bluetooth.
Watching movies, you might notice that the sound don't actually sync with the picture.
Well, this delay isn not a problem if you're simply going to be playing music from your
phone over bluetooth.
Apart from this little problems, Xiaomi Mi TV soundbar is a good buy.
Pretty good sound quality, nice design, lots of input options...
But then, I can only recommend only if you can live without a remote.
In my opinion, it's an inconvenience.
That's my review of Xiaomi Mi TV soundbar.
Hopefully, I'll see you in another video if you hit the subscribe button.
Stay safe!

Review of Justice League Annual #1 | Multiversal Meltdown - Duration: 4:21.
Hey, I'm Brian from BMA Comics Con and today we are going to look at the Justice League
Annual #1.
Multiversal Meltdown Previously in the DC Universe: Through the
events of Dark Nights Metal the source wall has been broken which has led to the near
destruction of the Multiverse.
And continues to threaten everything we know.
Luckily a plan has been made to repair the source wall.
But first the heroes must get past Lex Luther and the Legion of Doom that wish to stop them.
As the Justice League approaches the Source Wall, the clock runs down on the time to enact
Star Man's plan to fix it.
Hawkgirl is ultimately a sacrifice due to her connection to the Entropy Titan.
Luckily Hawkgirl is willing even though Martian Manhunter would like for her to stay.
Star Man's confidence in this plan is reassuring to all, that the Justice League will finally
be able to fix what they broke and save the Multiverse.
Even the Source Wall doesn't put up much of a fight as if it wants them to succeed
with their mission.
Then enters Brainiac.
The villain thought to have been dead.
But no weeks earlier he approached Lex Luther and convinced him that he was taking too big
a risk in completing his goal.
When Brainiac could more easily help them, break the Source Wall and free Perpetua.
She is the First Creator.
If you've ever heard God is a woman this would be her.
She built the monitor and anti-monitor and the World Forge.
But was trapped inside of the Source Wall.
Well unfortunately when Brainiac showed up things got a little complicated.
He had weeks to plan a counter to the Justice Leagues actions.
And just as easily he put Star Man out of commission.
Leading to Perpetua's release.
And her first act, destroy the Source Wall.
What are the heroes next course of action?
What does Lex Luther plan to do with the Goddess he has unleashed?
Will she even listen to what Luthor has to say or has he unleashed a force he cannot
control?
These are the questions I have for the next issue.
What do you think will happen in the next issue?
Make sure to subscribe to find out more.
The DC Multiverse has been growing more and more over the past year.
I like most of the ideas that they have had with it.
And it is good to explore more of the Source Wall.
Scott Snyder has been coming up with bigger and better threats for the Justice League
and it make sense to me that they wouldn't be finding these things on Earth, so I like
that they took it straight to the source.
However, I wonder how they are ever going to top Perpetua.
Maybe they don't until they create something other than the Source Wall.
Scott Snyder is one of my favorite writers at DC.
And he has really shied away from over using Batman.
Actually, I don't think Batman did anything this issue.
Which is interesting because it was also written by James Tynion IV, who was just writing Detective
Comics.
But this was a fun and easy read.
There was a lot of explanation without there being too much dialogue or crowding the page.
I will not complain at all.
I like the art of the Justice League.
The fact that they are not afraid to use colors either makes this book better.
The only real critique I could say is the way the Source Wall is described as a God
like location that is difficult to look at.
I didn't get that from the image.
But I guess that's because I wasn't there looking at it in person.
Plus, I know that must be hard to capture that on page.
Is it just me or does Batman remind you of Ben Affleck?
Which would be a shame because apparently Affleck is not going to be Batman anymore.
Star Man was so sure that his plan was going to work I believed him.
I'm like ok this is an annual maybe they wrap things up here.
But no it all went wrong.
And then we get this panel.
When I say this I just heard in my head, It was at this moment he knew he f'd up.
One look at this image and you can see the sadness and defeat on everyone's face.
I think Daniel Sampere captured the feeling perfectly.
I'm going to give this an 8 out of 10.
The content was good.
I like the story, dialogue, and art.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next issue.
But for some reason I just wasn't hit with the feeling that this is the best thing out
there after I read it.
Please let me know your thoughts on this comic and video in the comments below.

NETATMO - homecoach review - Duration: 6:21.
Netatmo healthy home coach is a device that can give you readings letting you know the
quality of your home.
it can tell you the temperature the humidity
co2 levels the noise level
air pressure
the app rates these qualities from a range of
healthy,
fair,
and unhealthy each color coded to easily know the status
of your home
this is great because it can help you make your home a healthier home, since having bad
home conditions can worsen your sleep, work, and overall comfort when you get home and
simply want to relax.
you can set the kind of home you want to aim for between 3 choices
Whole Family (which is the default everyday profile)
Baby (for rooms with more sensitive newborns to make sure babies are getting a good nights sleep)
Asthmatic (for people with asthma to make sure humidity levels don't get too out of hand)
Now, over the last couple of months I've had the netatmo healthy home coach and i've
really come to incorporate this into my home.
what do i like about it? peace of mind
really this is the devices strong suit.
although it can seem like the device can be telling the obvious when everything seems
okay but sometimes having an objective quantifiable
way to know that my home is healthy and comfortable is nice.
it's one less thing to worry about and that really matters when i have enough to deal
with.
super accessible to get results
homekit support allows me to see the condition of my home alongside all my devices and because
of homekit, i can ask siri to give me the quality of my home.
hey siri what's the temperature of diego's room
siri: the diego's room temperature is at 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
hey siri what's the humidity in diego's room
siri: the humidity in diego's room is dry at 27%
air quality doesn't quite work in the home app, it tells you
a computed carbon monoxide warning.
it's good to have because it's not going to go off if you air quality is great but
to detect carbon monoxide you are going to want to get a dedicated detector for that.
it's also binary, it's either okay or bad, so if you want to know how badly the
air quality is you are going to have to open the app. not a big issue though.
the same thing for noise monitoring, it's one of my favorite measurement's
since it's really important to take care of your ears but homekit doesn't support
noise sensors yet so there's nothing to be done.
now for the app.
the app has a quick color coded system to let you know the condition of your home without
having to dive into the specifics.
the app also sends in-app notifications when something seems off to quickly know what is
off in the home
however if you want further analysis it breaks each each measurement down so you can see
exactly what value is driving your home score up and down.
the app is super easy to use and looks visually appealing and not to mention IPAD Support!
this seems like a small thing but there's too many companies that decline to support
other devices.
( looking at you instagram ). Netatmo puts a lot of effort making their data accessible
they even have a messenger integration so you can check your home, when I'm messaging
my friends ( i wish i had friends )
not sure why anybody would do this, idk?
maybe I'm at my computer and don't want to pull out my phone to check.
just like the device, it's nice to have this feature.
in the app you can look at historical data to see trends in your measurements and this
is where you're going to get the majority of your actionable data.
i can see how co2 goes up periodically when air circulation is bad or how the temperature
fluctuated while i was sleeping.
what i really like is the ability to zoom in and out to get the amount of data i need.
however this data is stuck within the confines of the app. i can do a lot with it but with
the actual data i can do a lot more with it.
that's where the api comes in.
this is more for advanced users but being able to programmatically call and store the
data coming from this device is really useful for quantified self purposes such as more
fine tune calculations.
what don't i like about it? the design.
the device is made out of a rose colored metal which has a really nice build quality but
is a bit of an odd color, a lot of pictures make it look gold and some make it look pink.
Ultimately the device is pink which was in style when it came out and rose gold iPhones
were all the rage but it's hard make it fit in now a days so I try to hide my device
behind some other household items.
however the cord to plug it in is white which is easy to hide in apartment
white walls and is about 4ft long which makes it easy to place wherever i need to
also, it's not great for automation.
yes, most people think of smart devices and think about how they can program their devices
but that's not really what this device is for.
for starters if you can to set a trigger action in apple's home app you only have the carbon
monoxide sensor available.
you can't set any aumations using the noise, temperature, or humidity values.
if you want that you're going to have to head over to third party apps.
not ifft, because netatmo doesn't offer it for this product, they do for others but…
no love for their healthy home coach
instead you are going to need the Home 3 app.
it's $15 dollars but through this third party app you can set triggers such as turn
on my humidifier if humidity goes below 30 %.
however that's about as useful as examples go.
i can set the lights to change when air quality goes bad in a more custimizable manner, setting
the exact limit i want but, i don't really want my lights changing as if my apartment
is on lock down.
sure i can set a temperature automation but if you want to change something you are going
to need a smart thermostat and those should be able to manipulate the temperature.
i mean i guess you can set a fan to turn on when temperature and humidity are off but
i don't think that's the main benefit of this device.
now... should you get it? yes.
i wanted to get it just so i felt like i had a better understanding of my home and it really
gave me peace of mind.
my apartment doesn't have great heat control so i can't set the temp to a precise temperature
but knowing the condition helps me feel less paranoid.
helped to see how bad air quality was to see if we needed purifier or if the issue was
just opening my door to circulate air better
not a first home kit product purchase but the device is one of the most bang for your
bucks homekit compatible devices because of all the different sensors it has.
definitely something to get later on.

PomadeShop-Review: Murray's La-Em-Strait (mit Andy) – english subtitles – - Duration: 11:21.
Hello! I will do a great review today
of course on a waterbased pomade
and I want to get rid of the prejudice
that waterbased pomades are not re-combable
and that they don't groom your hair.
So something special today. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm back in a second – Intro go!
Hello guys, thank you for watching again.
This is Andy from PomadeShop,
as always out of our showroom in Ottobrunn.
First I welcome you
and second I want to remind you:
If you haven't subscribed to our channel
we would be happy if you would hit the subscribe button now.
Greetings to all of you,
today's review it about another waterbased pomade.
In fact it's a pomade
to be honest I never really noticed.
Made by Murray's, which is totally a company of tradition
and – you know it – which is specialized on oil based pomades
like Murray's Superior or the Super Light.
But they are also good with waterbased products.
In fact a brand with tradition: La-Em-Strait.
I hope you can see it …
Yes …
Le-Em-Strait has been existing decades ago,
it was an oil based, which was released in 1915.
This one of course isn't oil based but waterbased,
so it's a different recipe today.
But I haven't used this product very often so far
and to tell you the truth: We already did a video about it.
With doing that video I tried it for the first time
and I was so excited about it.
I didn't really know what was happening to me.
So we decided not to present you that video.
I wanted to practice with the pomade for a while
and now show you what this pomade really is like.
There are plenty of people out there
who correctly say about many waterbased products:
"They get hard and you can't comb them anymore,
only if I wet the comb before
which also doesn't always work perfectly
and a waterbased pomade isn't able to groom the hair"
– This one is.
Waterbased doesn't automatically mean
that it doesn't contain any oils.
I have to interrupt shortly –
I'm sorry that I have to wear that scarf
but I have a sore throat and a flu.
I hope you forgive me.
Back to the product.
This waterbased treasure
contains several oils:
olive oil, coconut oil and almond oil
– and you feel those oils.
When you try it for the first time
you notice that it's pretty hard to rub
and it's quite hard to apply it to the hair
because it hardens quickly.
But when it has hardened a bit
it gets flexible again
because the oils spread over the hair.
I will show you in a minute.
I recommend to wet your hair when you use this pomade
like with every waterbased pomade.
With this one even a bit more.
For that I like to use …
hair tonic, Dapper Dan Blue in this case.
It refreshes, it cleans your scalp
and wets your hair
so applying the pomade works well.
So far so good.
Let's do a short cut
and then I start styling my hair.
I'm back with the hair tonic in my hand.
There are two ways to use it: Either you put it directly on your head
or in your hands first, which I prefer.
I'm losing half of it, but I don't care.
Just wet your hair.
There's also that amazing scent
of Dapper Dan Blue.
I love it. That cooling effect –
even in winter I'm not annoyed by that.
I take a bit more
to get my hair really wet
because applying that pomade is clearly easier then.
As you can see I have thin and few hair.
I'm sure there are some others who have that.
For those who don't: You are enviable.
But that doesn't mean that you can't style a proper hairstyle.
I show you how again.
First I define my hair roughly
before applying the pomade
so the hair isn't a mess.
Then we switch back to the product.
It's in a plastic jar with metal lid.
On the inside there's this transparent gel.
And that gel has a very decent and pleasant scent.
I would say it's a bit powdery,
not that fresh,
not too dominating
but to me it's really great.
And like I said, I used it for some days now –
you don't get annoyed by that scent.
You can smell it two or three times a day
and that makes you happy, at least me.
And I'm honest: I really love this product.
And it's a bit underrated,
I think it's not noticed enough.
But we will change that now – I show you how.
As always
take your desired amount.
That's easily enough for my few hair.
And you notice that it's a really sticky gel.
Really sticky and that makes you think
this product will change your hair into a helmet – but it won't.
Rub it …
Put much energy into it
then much energy will come out.
Until it gets nicely soft
and it's spread all over your hands.
Then …
I part my hair a bit first
and put it all in there then. From the front to the back …
If you watch closely
you see that my hair looks like sticking together
and it already gives a nice hold.
But like In said – Don't be fooled by that.
When those oils are activated
it gets very smooth
and you can do whatever you want.
I applied quite much now.
Dry hands again.
The comb of my choice
will always be the Layrite comb.
We sell it, I can clearly recommend it.
And then you can style your hair as desired.
The pomade doesn't care which hairstyle you want to do.
Not at all.
Classic or even crazy spiky hairstyles –
just like you want it, it all works.
Now I talked quite much
and the pomade started hardening.
But I still can comb though very well.
Slicking the hair works nicely,
it sticks to the sides of my head.
And I can feel that the more I comb through
the more it gets flexible.
That doesn't mean that it doesn't give nice hold –
its hold is and stays really really good.
But this product almost feels
like an oil based pomade.
And to me that's totally awesome.
And when you wash it out in the evening or the morning after
your hair isn't dry and doesn't feel like straw.
That's because of the oils it contains.
It's a type of product I haven't known before:
Although it contains many oils it gives a very nice hold.
I'm still working on the styling …
I hope I get a result which is quite acceptable to present.
Cameraman and director: Is it acceptable now?
He nods –
I hope it's true and he doesn't fool me.
As you can see:
It gives a really pleasant shine,
it gives a very very nice and stable hold
I used it for some days now –
it didn't surrender.
And if you hit your head on something
or you put a hat on your hair
just recomb once –
and everything is perfect again.
This product
is underrated way too much.
So it's time for all of us to try it out.
Also those guys who say
"Waterbased? That's not a pomade"
– It is.
All waterbased are but this one particularly.
A really amazing product
by a really amazing company – everyone knows Murray's.
And when I will take a shower tonight
I just need some water – of course I also use a shampoo
but you could also do it without – all of it washes out.
I just can recommend it.
I want to comb one last time now …
so you don't rant.
In conclusion it's texture is sticky
when you rub it between your hands
but it gets smoother then.
It has a wonderful scent
which isn't too dominating, the shine is nice, the hold as well.
It's similar to …
that's a bit hard. The hold is similar to
Layrite Original.
It's a regular nice waterbased pomade
but you are able to re-comb it
all day long.
You see it now.
I don't have any trouble at all
to get it re-combed.
And that will make me happy the whole day.
You get the product from us of course,
www.pomadeshop.com
or when you're in Munich we have our store
at Blumenstrasse in the heart of Munich.
Or you ask for it at your local barbershop.
Maybe they have it, maybe they can order it for you.
We have it on stock – if you want it, you can get it here.
Thank you very much for watching!

or if you have wishes or you just want to give us short feedback,
leave a comment below.
We always give our best to answer as soon as possible.

I hope you had fun.
All best from Andy. Bye Bye!

Wargroove Review: Advance Wars' New Clothes - Duration: 7:17.
Breaking through the enemy in Wargroove is like trying to unravel the Gordian Knot.
Like its spiritual predecessor, Advance Wars, Wargroove is all about tight, tooth and nail
slugfests where every unit counters and is countered by another.
On the one hand, this sometimes means the game can get bogged down in an hour of back
and forth trench warfare, which can be exhausting.
On the other, it creates a deep and highly tactical core loop where you need to use every
tool available to you to prevail.
I've always been a fan of games like this, but in my current role, I have to ask the
question: can that depth be appreciated in bite sized pieces?
As always, I'm Alex, and this is First Five, where I ask if games are worth your time,
not your money.
I played a game for five hours, and I'm going to tell you if those were five hours
well-spent.
And today, we're bringing Advance Wars back from the dead in Wargroove.
Of all the games on the Nintendo DS, Advance Wars Dual Strike is probably the one I remember
most fondly, which is saying something, because there a lot of good games on the DS.
But the Advance Wars series has been hibernating for over a decade now, and nobody's ever
really quite picked up where they left off.
I mean, sure, we've had a few games that draw comparisons, but they just don't play
the same.
The fact that Advance Wars ends up breathed in the same sentence as games like Into the
Breach by people including myself isn't so much because the games are actually that
much alike but more a commentary on how desperate people like myself are to find anything that
can fill that hole.
So yeah, and then Wargroove came out over the weekend.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you have ANY idea how long I've waited for this?
You had better believe that THIS.
IS.
MY.
JAAAAAAAM!
And Wargroove does not disappoint.
Admittedly, it would be kind of hard for it to, considering it's fundamentally the same
game, just with dragons instead of bombers and different developers at the helm.
You start out on the opposite side of the map from your opponent, race to snatch up
villages to boost your income, and dig in for some serious tug of war-fare as you attempt
to take down your opponent's citadel or their commander.
And actually prevailing requires a combined arms approach as you try to navigate your
way through multiple rock paper scissors synergies, attack templates, and attrition warfare to
try and crack through your opponent's army before they break your's.
But not only is the core loop of the game intact, but most of Wargroove's units are
direct translations from Advance Wars' unit list.
You've still got your stand-ins for infantry, tanks, artillery, and almost every unit you
could throw onto the field in Advance Wars — and notably, Wargroove doesn't really
add much in this respect, either.
That said, the game is more than an old classic redressed in fantasy duds.
The most notable twist Wargroove introduces is the critical hit system.
Every unit in the game has a special condition to fulfill to make them hit harder.
Spearmen do more damage when adjacent to friendly spearmen.
Trebuchets do more if you manage to hit the enemy right at the maximum edge of their range.
Some of these are more feasible than others.
Getting your cavalry to crit after charging exactly their full movement is a lot easier
said than done.
But ultimately, this small change to the formula makes big ripples in how it affects player behavior.
With units like the spearmen, for example, you only get the most out of them when they
come in pairs, so you commit harder to making them and incorporating them into your strategy.
It also goes a long way towards differentiating units, making Advance Wars' traditional system
of overlapping rock paper scissors relationships even more complicated.
In hindsight, it makes sense that they didn't risk adding more units to the formula when
the dynamic between the existing ones is already this razor fine.
But while the developers at Chucklefish have only made small changes to Advance Wars'
core loop, they also spent a lot of time making a bunch of different modes.
There is so much stuff to do in this game.
There's the main campaign that I'm nowhere near the end of, an arcade mode that throws
you through five maps against random commanders, local and online cross-platform multiplayer,
a map builder that's already filled with everything from classic head-to-head maps
to experimental coop-centric levels, and a puzzle mode I don't even know how to unlock.
There are so many different ways to play this game that it's almost dizzying.
The main way to play however, is the campaign, which is worth checking out.
Narratively, it's a pretty bog-standard medieval warfare story.
The queen of Cherrystone finds her country invaded, is forced to flee from her overwhelming
opponent, and gets into hijinks and adventures as she fights her way across the continent
trying to build an army to go take her country back.
But mechanically, it's really well put together.
Wargroove takes the Blizzard approach to strategy campaign design — you're rarely ever pitted
against your opponent in a straight, even fight.
Your enemy may get a bunch of super units you don't have access to, or you may be
forced to assault a base without being able to recruit more troops, but there's always
some complication to overcome.
In my opinion, the campaign's main drawback is that it goes a little too long before it
starts taking the training wheels off.
The first eight or so missions bottleneck how quickly you can build an army with only
a single unit spawner, which makes the early section of the campaign drag a bit.
But once the game starts giving you a little bit of leeway, it really starts to shine.
But we're running out of time, so let's ask: what do you get out of five hours with Wargroove?
And the answer to that really depends on what you're looking to do.
If all you want to do is jump right in and start fighting, you'll have a great time
bashing your way through the arcade and multiplayer offerings (the latter of which can also be
played against computers).
But if you're braving the campaign, good luck making much headway in just five hours.
To be clear, it's a good campaign, it just takes a while to really get going, and I've
still got a lot left to get through.
That said, I do have one extreme time-saving tip for you: turn off combat animations.
It sucks to do because they actually look quite nice, but when you do that, you literally
cut the length of a match in half.
If your time's at a premium, this option is a godsend and I highly recommend you take advantage of it.
Ultimately, however, Wargroove is fantastic fun, doubly so if you're already a fan of Advance Wars.
It's everything a fan of that series could have ever wanted.
Ten years was too long a wait, but a worthwhile spiritual successor is finally here.

The House of the Dead (AKA Alien Zone): Review - Duration: 7:16.
'I Wasn't sure if you'd be coming.'
Welcome back to My Dark Corner of this Sick World.
'This creep's got a camera'
The House of the Dead – also known as Alien Zone for reasons passing understanding –
is the first anthology film we've reviewed.
'I don't think you'd be interested really'
A film comprised of several stories, tied together by linking scenes.
'Sometimes I feel sorry for your wife'
Adulterous salesman Talmudge gets lost in the rain, and is invited in by a creepy mortician.
'Embalming actually.'
Who shows him around.
'My latest clients'
and every one tells a story.
'Damn kids! Disgusting little litter bugs!'
Miss Sibiler doesn't like kids and
'Oh my God - children... just children.'
The story is a little longer than that, but in terms of theme, that's it;
a woman who doesn't like kids…
is killed by kids. How ironic.
'Grotesque actually'
Although these aren't normal kids.
No one talks about what vampire children go through when they're teething.
Onto the next coffin.
'He had a rather abnormal predilection for cameras'
and films his dates.
'Here's one of your cameras right now.'
What does that little red light mean?
'It sounds like it's buzzing or something. Whirring'
He's not dating geniuses, which is good cos his chat up line is beyond optimistic.
'I really need a silk stocking to do this trick, could I borrow one of yours?'
Embarrassingly it does work.
'Do you promise you're not going to look or anything'
but the man has a darker purpose,
'Abracadabra.'
Are they shrinking?
'Voila! Your life is gone. It's disappeared'
After three murders he's captured and executed, but...
'The state didn't allow any pictures to be taken – Oh he begged them'
Didn't allow pictures. Oh the irony.
Now we meet America's greatest detective.
'Mr Castalucci didn't hang himself he was murdered.'
Impressive.
'Inspector Wendell MacDowell, Scotland Yard'
'England, right?'
Less impressive. Macdowell is England's greatest detective and they briefly compete.
'We're supposed to be rivals aren't we.'
to see who can be the most annoying.
'This is going to take a bit of looking into'
Turns out they're both equally painful as their story limps towards a conclusion
so obvious even Will Ferrell's Sherlock Holmes would have seen it coming.
'I am the victim. And you, my dear inspector are the murderer'
Think about the irony.
In box number 4 is this guy.
'I don't have any change, why don't you get a job?'
A nasty business man who can't stand beside a lift shaft without falling in for no reason.
But once he's down there…
He is subjected to mental and physical torture…
with nothing to drink but wine.
Until…
and then…
'I told you I couldn't help you, why don't you get a job.'
Imagine the irony.
'Nooo'
And that's where bums come from, so don't give them money, they're all businessmen being punished,
but… he's not dead so what's he doing with the creepy embalmer.
'Eventually he died'
Eventually everyone dies, you're blunting the irony here.
'Drunk with a rotted liver, sprawled in a gutter'
Why? Did he also lose his house keys and the addresses of everyone else he knew?
'You don't expect me to believe that story – it's ridiculous.'
Now the Embalmer sums up.
'All these people were the victims of their own frailties, their own petty foilbles'
Petty foibles like murdering 3 women.
And it goes without saying that Talmudge himself is now in the firing line.
'You stupid bastard, don't you know any better?'
Killed by the husband of the very woman he was sleeping with. How ironic.
Or, actually; pretty logical.
'A very interesting – very bizarre - case'
The problem with this denouement is that in the final story, an unseen hand – we assume of the Embalmer -
is involved, torturing the man who shouts at the homeless.
'You sound like you select these people'
For none of the other stories is this the case.
The stories were clearly written beforehand and then this vague linking device has been imposed on them.
'I'm not stupid you know'
Which would be okay if the stories themselves weren't so bad.
'Maybe you will learn something'
So a reviewer of bad films watches a bad film and is angry over how bad it is.
'His failing – he simply didn't care'
He's right. Think about the irony.
'Congratulations an excellent piece of work.'
Thanks for watching. For new bad movie reviews every Tuesday, subscribe here.
We've tended to steer clear of anthology films in the past, but this one worked
So are there more we should be considering let us know in the comments below. This is not very interesting
'This is all very interesting, everything...'

Alita Battle Angel - Early Movie Review (No Spoilers) Critics Are Bittersweet On This Movie So far - Duration: 6:47.
so far the movie with the most commercials and greatest ad campaign has
been a leader battle angel early reviews are in
I seen early screening I'm gonna give you the spoiler free review and let you
guys see what the critics are talking about and it starts right now
in this video
you
in time you will know what it's like to lose to feel so desperately that you're
right
to read it
justice
what's good YouTube you in the build with y'all know what I love in our
feeling I'm saying our powerful damn all everything the sex is hell hosts we're
bringing you life game movie reviews where we help you make a decision of
whether you should go see a movie in the theater or wait for it to come out on
your favorite streaming device and today we're talking a leader battle angel but
first you all know how we do all these movie reviews we put on the plus seven
glasses of cinema sexy as hell because we work on skill in our crowd giving you
a more informed youtube experience something better to look at please
subscribe to this channel and go check me out on my facebook link so this movie
is directed by Rob Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron this is
something that they've been planning to do for a little while and it stars the
voice of Rose Salazar as a leader this movie you can kind of put into that
realm of animes for all my anime lovers out there and as I'm sitting there
watching the movie because I'm not an anime person I really haven't seen many
anime movies but I did get hooked on the commercials I decided this is gonna be
one I'm gonna check out and throughout the movie I enjoy most of it the pacing
was not quite the way I wanted it but when I talk about the visual effects man
this movie had better visual effects I would say than Aquaman
you are gonna be thrilled with that you're gonna be thrilled some of those
race things that they have in this movie it's just a bonanza of great great video
this film is very action heavy and you can tell that they put a lot of work
into making the film entertaining and considering I'm not a person who always
tells people to go sees things in 3d I am gonna say that if you are gonna go
see this movie you definitely want to see the 3d for the way things pan
through the theater the sound quality of the theater and just the visual effects
if you haven't learned anything from James Cameron when it comes to 3d movies
he is definitely the man and traditional kind of a comic book
action for this movie has a romance and y'all know
I'm not a fan of a lot of romances in this movie and in this movie as well the
romance wasn't that good some people complained about the cheese that they
seemed well Aquaman well this romance is gonna be a little cheesy as well but it
doesn't take away from the movie the villain in the movie you're not gonna be
enthralled by him he's basically like some evil villain that just sits up in
New Gods if you follow DC he never comes down and really gets into the action
sent all his henchmen about a liter and those are some great battles but you're
not gonna be enthralled by the villain because he doesn't really do anything
and you can kind of understand that because it seems like it might be a lead
up to other movies if you haven't or you're not familiar with the source
material of a leader battle angel you might be a little put off by this movie
I wasn't familiar with it but y'all know I've been doing more movie reviews
trying to understand what makes a quality movie so it was entertaining and
decent for me but if you've never seen the source material on this type of
movie or this movie in general you might be a little put off because there's
gonna be some concepts going on in this movie that you're not gonna understand
when it comes down to the acting the only thing you need to know is a leader
role Salazar she nailed it I mean she hit a home run further than Barry Bonds
would hit once she did an outstanding job in this movie in terms of the other
acting the other acting was good however there was no one you're gonna build an
emotional relationship with that's a supporting actor pretty much all your
emotion is going to be on the leader huh struggle as she's learning how to
manipulate her powers that she's going through the movie that's who you're
gonna be fully invested in throughout this movie overall without spoiling
anything I'm gonna say for those of you that like anime and been wanting to see
anime on the big screen you want to go see this movie it is going to be
something that's a groundswell for you because a lot of these movies are
starting to come out and be popularized and this one is gonna help with that
case everything is good about the movie pacing ain't that great but you can tell
a lot of this was done because they're trying to set up
but if you are a big fan of anime I'm definitely gonna say you need to go see
this and not wait for the stream and definitely see it in 3d however if
you're not a fan of anime you don't know the source material I'm gonna say wait
and on a life game scale zero to ten I've give this movie six point five out
of ten it's definitely entertaining it's
definitely got good visuals but if there's something else you want to
budget for coming out in the next couple of weeks I would definitely say wait
unless you love anime or unless you know the source material that's gonna do it
for this video don't forget to like my video comment and subscribe go get
yourself a life game let me know if you want me to do a spoiler review after
everybody's had a chance to see the movie the movie comes out in another
week and until the next sex is hell video I'll see you

CITIZEN EcoZilla - BJ8050 - Full Review - I Review Crap! - Duration: 6:43.
Hey everybody!
Today I look at a Citizen Diver I got on Black Friday for only $144!
< I THOUGHT YOU ALREADY HAD ONE OF...>
Shhhh...
Watchbot don't spoil the surprise!
<WHATEVER>
So let's just get to opening the box.
Here's the model number and stuff.
Inside the box is this little plastic case.
Citizen manual and warranty stuff.
#mycitizen
#whocares
Blah Blah, yeah enough with your hashtag.
So comes with this nice little plastic waterproof box.
Top of the lit has a nice rubber lining.
...and here's the watch.
It also comes with a second longer strap for wetsuits.
It's a 300meter diver with a black dial and orange minute hand.
Solar powered EcoDrive movement.
...and oddly the crown is at the 9:00 position...
Not much on the hangtag, just the model number.
Signed stainless steel buckle.
You may be wondering what happened to the wrist watch check.
Well it's the same watch!
I would put a link to it, but it would be a never ending circular
watch reveiw inception thing, as it would just link to this video...
Anyhow there's a story involving Amazon....
So I bought this watch a few days before black friday for what seemed like the
best deal so far at $192.
...and I was pleased.
Three Days Later...
black friday hit, and it dropped to $144!
after talking to various indian customer service guys at Amazon.
well they were Indian, just sayin'...
I was denied a refund of the difference in price.
Well F*ck you Amazon, I want my $50!
I rebought the watch at the new price and returned the $192 watch.
Hey, I got free return shipping, so it doesn't cost ME anything...
Yeah... It's actually good this happened as the original watch had some minor
quality control issues with the alignment of the minute track and caseback...
But the new watch is A-OK! and doesn't have those problems!
So the watch has a nice wide strap with stainless steel hardware, and it's long
enough for my huge wrist.
The case itself is very heavy and thick!
Over 18mm tall.
It's like having a metal hockey puck on your wrist.
caseback has a very well done engraving of a dive helmet, along with some
more information.
I wish the caseback aligned better on the back of the watch, but what can
I expect for the money?
Here's the wrist shot.
Even on my 8" wrists, this watch dominates my arm and looks HUGE.
Uhhh... also don't expect this to fit under a long sleeve shirt.
Here comes Watchbot with the watch specs.
<THE WATCH IS 48MM WIDE AND CAN TAKE A 29MM WATCH BAND.>
Thanks Watchbot!
There are some ebay sellers who make an adapter for the 29mm lugs to be able
to take a standard 24mm strap or bracelet.
I mean, it seems like a good idea, I don't think I'll be doing that...
...but, it's there if you want it....
Here's the lume shot.
I really like the blue lume,,
and it seems to hold it's own against this green lume from a Seiko dive watch.
Soooo... That's all I have for now!
If you enjoyed this video, please like, comment or subscribe to my channel!
Thanks for watching!

Arrogant Bastard - Stone vs. Stone | proBIER.TV - Craft Beer Review #796 [4K] - Duration: 12:49.
Who is more arrogant? The one from Berlin or
the one from San Diego?
The test now on proBIER.TV! Hey, hello and
Welcome to a new
edition of proBIER.TV, my name is
Martin and I hope you're all doing fine,
have a good beer and can enjoy
the next few minutes with
me.
I want to test today who's more arrogant:
Stone Berlin or San Diego? Those of you who
now have question marks in their faces 13 00:00:32,219 --> 00:00:38,730 I'll show you what I have here.
It is the Arrogant Bastard
American Strong Ale by Stone Brewing.
This fact wouldn't be anything
extraordinary, but i have it two times!
At first glance these two cans
basically look identically,
but look closer. This one
here is black and this one is silver
the top. This is for a good reason because
Stone Brewing brews the Arrogant
Bastard in San Diego
as well as in Berlin. In Berlin they have a black
top - in San Diego the can top is silver.
Brewmaster Steve told me in my recent interview
that the recipe in Berlin 29 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,500 is different to the one
brewed in San Diego.
At least it has been slightly
adapted in some nuances.
And that may not only have to do
with the different ingredients
being used, but they sometimes
try to adapt the beer to the local
taste. So i asked myself -
trust me: i haven't tried
this yet, so you are part of
me checking out the different tastes with my
admittedly well trained but
little distinctive
sensory skills.
What's the difference between Stone in Berlin
and stone brewing san diego. I brought a can
from San Diego.
The 0,5 liter comes from Berlin
with 7.2% ABV
and there are
7.2% ABV in the San Diego can, too.
The US can is one Pint in size.
Just hold the two cans next to each
others, it is a little more in the
Berlin can. So the first point goes to
the Berlin account, as
the can contains a little more as
a pint is a little bit less than
half a litre.
Like I said I'm very curious
and you can follow this.
Like I said the silver top ist from the
USA and I thought I'll mark
this - typically USA - with a
"Donald".
Any similarity to existing Donalds
are pure coincidence. I´ll now
check out if there
is any difference between these beers.
Maybe i can even see a difference
and like I said before the Donald
marks the beer brewed in
San Diego. And i now try to
pour the beer to the glass.
As said: American Strong Ale - a true
classic to the Craft Beer World.
I will not rate this beer right away
as i only want to rate the differences.
So let´s get things started.
I'll open the one from Berlin
and pour it to this glas. I try hard
to pour it as identical
as possible.
For sure i will not succed 100%
but if we look at
these beers:
You see this beautiful
amber colour with a slight reddish
shine on both sides.
We get a nice off white creamy foam,
that shows a medium lacing to the glass
on both sides.
I really have to say there rises
a bit more carbonation
on the Berlin side but
on the whole I don't think we can speak
of a big difference.
But if i would have to find anything
different, then the Berlin foam seems
a little more lasting. But maybe this
is a little bit because how the beer
was poured to the glass.
It took a few seconds to finish both but
I see a bit more carboration and foam in
the Berlin glass. Now i let my nose
check the aroma. First is San Diego
[sniffing - inhaling]
Yeah, nice grassy hops but also caramel
malts. What a great roastieness.
And now Berlin - i neutralize briefly -
That's actually really exciting.
The caramel is definitely a lot less
pronounced in Berlin.
That really surprises me.
That's a very definite difference
already in the aroma.
What San Diego has lost
in can volume - the "Aroma Point"
goes to the US Version.
As a matter of fact San Diego
clearly has more roastieness and caramel
than Berlin which is also lower
in intensity.
Okay, here comes the first sip.
Again: We start with the San Diego beer.
Wow! Strong roasty malts! There is a lot of it!
There's a bit of burnt
caramel in there.
There is a slight bit of
chocolate in there. But above all:
a lot of hops bitterness can be tasted.
You can also taste a litt bit of
dark chocolate but the harsh hop
bitterness scratches a lot.
I now do something - and i know i maybe should
do it a little different - but sometimes i
have to limit
my taskload a little.
I do not rinse my mouth with water
but i take two big sips of this one and
try to get rid of the San Diego taste
this way.
So everything we found out in the aroma -
it´s really very very exciting for me -
everything i stated on the aroma can be
found now in the taste.
It is the really lighter Version of the
Arogant Bastard from San Diego. It is bitter.
Nice roastieness. Great caramel malt.
We get everything but the Berlin one
seems to be holding a little reserve.
[ - ]
Another thing is the mouthfeel that
seems a little less and the body follows.
Talking about carbonation....
I go back to my californian "Donald"
from San Diego.
The carbonation seems to be rather identical.
But overall it again seems a little bit
more intense here on the
San Diego Side.
The texture
has a little more oily touch.
The San Diego beer has this,
and you can´t find it with the Berlin beer.
To be honest I'm really perplexed now.
I did this and thought ok,
they probably adjusted the recipe
a little bit with local ingredients.
Which Steve said in the interview,
and adjusted it to local
drinking habits but I never would've thought
that the difference is so noticeable
I never would've thought that.
Yes, the can I brought from
California has definitely made
the longer journey,
had to fly on the plane and the
cold chain from the Berlin beer
was definitely better.
Regarding taste the beer from San Diego
is definitely more intense.
It's the same beer, I can
confirm this. All the puzzle
pieces fit really well
together
The Berlin beer is a bit more
conservative
enough to be able to
taste it.
It is not a disappointment, I don't
want to judge between good and bad
and blame the Berlin beer not to be good
or that you get less for your money
or something silly like that.
But it's probably ment to be like this
just because the
Berlin or rather European palate
can´t handle the strong
hoppy taste. The Arrogant Bastard from
San Diego for sure
is the more aggressive
and unleashed brew amongst the
craftbeers available. And if you bring
it to a market which is not yet as open to
craft brews as the US market
is now for
some years now,
then you have also to consider
economical aspects as well as
the possibility to gain shelf space for
this beer in shops or taps in bars.
[ - ]
Maybe i am getting a little to philosophic and
in the end it is pure speculation. But what i
can state is
Escondido or San Diego versus
Berlin...
...if i have to rate it in levels
... if this one here would be a straight 10
in intensity, then Berlin ends up
somewhere between 6 and 7,
just to give you an impression
on what i can´t really show you here in
the video. What both beers have in common
is the grassy hops.
This bitterness really stays long in
the aftertaste.
For sure - San Diego wins here again - as
simply the
intensity is so much higher.
And thus the taste stays a little longer.
I haven´t sipped for some time
but i still can feel the
bitterness of the Arrogant Bastard.
And this of course is one of the main
hallmarks of this brew.
I love this beer and i want to
state something propitiating - even
though i did not blame one of the beers -
but the Arrogant Bastard get´s
for the Berlin Version as well as for
the San Diego Version 4,5 Points
out of 5 from proBIER.TV.
No matter if brewed in Escondido or in
Berlin: It is a great beer!
It was a lot of fun for me,
I hope you had a bit of fun
as well.
When you're in the USA
the next time bring a can
of a beer that is also brewed in Europe.
[ - ]
I doesn´t need to be the Arrogant Bastard
too. From Stone there are other beers like
their IPA to be tried. I will grab a can of this
during my next US trip.
Can you think of any other breweries?
Maybe you know other beers
beeing brewed in the US and over here in
Europe. Just let me know
then I'll definitely try it for you.
And: Why not try something crazy?
Bring a can of Heineken from somewhere
around the world
and compare it to your local version.
I am courious if there are
any differences too to be found
[ - ]
[ - ]
For me that´s it for today.
Thank you for watching,
Thank you for subscribing to my channel and
I appreciate your feedback.
I'll withdraw with my bastards
of which i now have a lot of.
I wish you a happy day,
until the next video here on my channel
As we say here: Tschüss, Servus, Baba and Ahoi! Cheers!

Hola, Chanellies! Welcome back to my channel,
Welcome to my channel if you've never been here before. My name is Jaila, also known as JaiChanellie on the internet
So that is where you can find and follow me. And hello to all my new subscribers! Welcome to the channel.
Thank you guys for tuning in and I really appreciate you. But let's get right into today's video.
So Melanin Haircare is a natural hair care company that was founded by Naptural85. Naptural85 is an OG
Natural hair YouTuber y'all. I was watching her when I was transitioning when I was thinking about going natural back in '09.
So she is such an established name in our community. I have so much respect for her.
So when she decided that she was gonna launch this brand after six years of developing the products, I was in heaven.
I know I had to get it.
So I went ahead and pre-ordered. When I got my package I got these two beautiful info cards.
These are stock cards with a beautiful note on the back. I'll go ahead and read that note to you-- do y'all want me to read it? I don't know. Do y'all like to be read stuff?
I don't want to be reading to y'all and y'all was just like I don't know why you reading that to me.
She also included this melanin lollipop that she has in the stock card
Which I thought was super super cute. Y'all I can't decide whether I'm gone eat this or save this because like I'm a treat,
This a treat--- anyway, so that's all that came with the package as well as
The products. So I ordered the two hair products that were included in the original launch
This is the melanin twist-elongating style cream. And this is the melanin multi-use pure oil blend.
So these are the two products that we will be talking about and reviewing today.
I will also include clips of me actually using the product so you can see how I achieved this style that I have today.
So the very first product that we're going to talk about is the twist-elongating style cream. You get 16 fluid ounces for $16.99.
So you're paying a little over $1 per fluid ounce of product. And the price point is okay for me as
A start up brand, as a black-owned business, I'm okay with it. Imma pay the coin, okay? So the first thing I can tell you is that
The product smells like very faintly like cocoa butter. It does have a couple of other butters in it.
I'll go ahead and leave all the ingredient list on the screen, but it smells very faintly like cocoa butter.
Which is completely fine to me.
I actually prefer more fruity tropical smells, but this smells natural and she
Really really emphasized that this line is going to be natural, it's going to be non-toxic
You're gonna be able to pronounce the ingredient list.
So I'll give her props on that.
Some things that this claims to do is to be lightweight, to be on elongating and to make your hair more manageable.
Now I'll include some clips of me actually using this product.
I do believe it's lightweight. I've used it about three or four times.
The first time was just moisturizing my hair into quadrants. The second time
I was actually
Applying it
As I was twisting. The third time
Was me re-twisting my hair to get more body and more volume the way I like my hair to look.
So I did use it a couple of times and my hair does not feel weighed down.
It is super lightweight, it was not building up and gunking up.
You know when you twisting your hair and your hair is not actually absorbing the product so it just sits on top of your hair?
This did not do that at all.
This soaked right into my hair so I can definitely say that it does that. I absolutely agree that it gives you some definition.
I actually twisted the back of my hair first and then took them out because I was like, "I don't wanna do this.
I don't want to individually twist my hair. I'm not about that life."
So when I actually took out those twists after like five minutes they had already started to hold the curl. So, definition? Check!
Um, lightweight? Check! The only thing that I can't speak to is the manageability. I
Personally think my hair is already very manageable. So I can't really say that this made my hair more manageable.
I'll play with it a little more and get back to you on that.
The next product that we're gonna talk about is the oil blend.
It's the multi-use oil blend with baobab oil, argan oil and vitamin E. This smells like super-duper-duper
Diluted tea tree oil so it smells fresh
Almost to the point of smelling minty but doesn't smell minty if that makes any sense. I absolutely love this again
This says lightweight, non-greasy and it's a sealant of course because it's an oil blend.
I agree that it is super lightweight, non-greasy. I applied this two to three times in my hair as well.
I applied it to the quadrants, applied it after I twisted and applied it to my hands when I was doing the take down to
Reduce frizz. I agree that this is lightweight. I think this lives up to all of the claims that are on this bottle.
It says that you can use it different ways. You can use it as: a hot oil treatment,
You can add it to your favorite conditioner,
You can use it on your body.
So I would definitely be playing with this and seeing all the uses that I can get out of it. My camera died.
I have no idea where we left off. Yes, I did change my eyeshadow because
Your girl wasn't feeling in and I gotta be feeling in order to, you know, give you my all. I have to feel it *to give you my all*
Anyway, so I was saying that I'll insert clips of me actually using the products.
Um, this is how I styled my hair for today. Again, I originally did a flat twist out.
So I applied the twist-elongating style cream to each of my sections first, followed it up with the pure oil blend.
I twisted each of my sections again applying the same two products in the same exact order.
I let that dry for about two days.
I then took it out today using a little bit of the oil on my hands. As you can see,
This is what my hair looks like when I originally took down those flat twists. I believe that I have
Definition. This is what a lot of people want when they have first day hair.
I personally hate first day hair.
So I went ahead and applied a little bit more of each of the products to put my hair into 5 plaits.
I plaited it up,
I let it sit for a few hours while I did my makeup and when I took those plaits out, I got this.
So we have a nice
fluffy
fro. I picked my hair out a little bit with the comb as well. This is my perfect everyday here. I don't want first day hair
I don't want second day hair. I just want...
Hair hair day hair. So I am very happy with
What I've gotten from these products so far.
I will of course continue to use them and continue to update you. If you are looking to get these products,
10/10 would recommend, ten out of ten.
You didn't even need me to tell you that really because Naptural85 is such a
Trusted figure such a trusted source in this community that you already knew
whatever she was gonna give us was gonna be bomb.com, and I'm just glad that I can confirm that.
So.
Congratulations, if you ever happen to watch this, would you probably won't but anyways, a girl can dream?
Congratulations to you, Whitney. I'm so so very proud of you. So happy to have you in my life via YouTube.
The next video that y'all will probably see from me is a protective style video because I don't wear my hair out for long.
I'm gonna give it a week and then we're gonna have a protective style in my hair
So let me know down below which protective style you want to see me do next. I just did spring twists
So if you haven't already watched that video go ahead and watch that video.
Thank you so much watching and I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye!

Wilson Clash 100 Review | Racket Test | Tennis-Point - Duration: 1:36.
[Maxi] Hey guys, how you can see, we are testing the new Wilson Clash 100 today!
It has a little bit less weight then the Wilson Clash 100 Tour.
If you want to now more about the Tour racket, you should watch the other video.
Otherwise, let's get started!
[Toto] Hi guys, we were testing the Wilson Clash 100 for you.
What do you say?
[Maxi] It was comparable to the Wilson Clash 100 Tour.
The weight is slightly different, here we have 295 gram
and the Tour has 310 gram but the style of playing is quite similar,
a lot of power and good control.
[Toto] I agree, there is no big difference between those two rackets
accept from the weight, you can feel the added 15 grams!
Also you have a bit less of stability if you fully pull throught.
The power is outstanding and compared to the Wilson Burn, the control is much better!
But I would say, this racket is for all of those
who like a lighter racket!
I recommend the Wilson Clash 100 to younger players and for the women!

hi and welcome to review weekly today I'm reviewing at this cute little book
called lovely little patchwork with alien projects to stay through the
seasons it's by to the publishing and it's by Carrie Horsley and I'm going to
show you some of my favorite things in this it was first published in 2016 and
basically it just goes through some different things so there's techniques
in here that you can learn is foundation paper piecing English paper piecing raw
edge applique and it just goes through their long straight line quilting etc
etc and each of the projects basically go through like there's winter summer
spring and autumn and that she's just got the book set out in that way goes
over some of the basic tools and then it dives straight into like the first part
of the book is quite extensive through all the different techniques and then it
dives into the projects and I'm loving that vintage mission that's absolutely
gorgeous so then as I said it dives into the projects and it starts off with
winter and it goes through the seasons from there so some of my favorite ones
are the heart-shaped patchwork hearts for coasters and they've got a little
bit of Rick Iraq in them I find them to be very appealing it was what drew me to
the book to begin with and you can actually find this book on our website
the next thing that I really love in this one is a cross stitch sewing book
so basically it's a patchwork block and it's got a little bit of cross stitch in
it and then it's got compartments to hold all the bits and pieces that you
would use for cross stitching it's even got a little bit of English paper
piecing and also some binding techniques so you actually from this project learn
quite a bit especially if you're a beginner
my next favorite thing is this little pot holder here it's
absolutely gorgeous again you're learning a little bit about applique and
also some English paper piecing in there and this binding is being sewn on by the
Machine so you'll learn that technique as well so it's a good little book to

little bit of English paper piecing with some small hexagons and it's got a
lovely lace zipper in it and it lays quite flat as well and it's also got
some big stitch quilting on it as well so that's a really good project to learn

2013-2018 Ram Rough Country Black Mesh Upper Grille Insert Review & Install - Duration: 22:01.
Hey guys, Adam here with americantrucks.com.
And today, we're taking a closer look at, and installing, the Rough Country mesh upper
grille, available for the '13 to '18 RAM 1500, excluding the limited and rebel models.
You should be checking this out for your '13 to '18 RAM 1500 if you're looking to swap
out that factory grille, which can tend to be a little bit boring at the front end, for
something that makes it a little bit more aggressive and a little bit stealthier.
This Rough Country mesh grille is made from a black powder coated billet aluminum.
So it's a little bit more sturdy, it's a little bit more sleek-looking at the front end, and
it definitely changes the front-end appearance.
The big change here is coming in the center of that upper grille, this is gonna have that
mesh-honeycomb design, as you can see here, which of course is completely different than
our factory one, which we'll touch on in just a second.
This does require some modification to your front end, I wanna mention that right off
the bat.
You do have to do a little bit of cutting and a little bit of drilling to your factory
grille in order to mount this to the factory grille mounting bracket.
We will detail every step of the install in just a little bit, but first off, if you wanna
get this two-piece grille, it comes in just under the $200 mark, around 180 bucks, which
does make it a pretty affordable front-end mod.
It's gonna drastically change the appearance of your RAM.
If you have a color just like this one behind me, it blends in so well and just looks super
aggressive.
As I just mentioned, it is a two-piece grille, so, as you can see, that honeycomb mesh is
the center portion but it does come with this border.
This is what you're gonna be bolting up to holes you'll be drilling in the factory grille.
It's got a pretty prominent RC cutout on the top, so you show a little bit of brand pride
with the Rough Country.
I think it adds to its level of design.
It just looks a little bit sleeker, it's not a chrome plate that sticks out like a sore
thumb on other off-road aftermarket parts.
I think it blends in really nicely.
As you can see, it's got pre-drilled holes in this bracket here, so you'll use these
as a template when it comes time to drill.
It comes with all new stainless steel hardware, all of this is corrosion and rust-resistant,
and new mounting brackets which we'll touch on in just a little bit.
The install for this is gonna get close to three out of three wrenches on our difficulty
meter simply because you do have to make the cutting and the extra modifications with your
drill and drill bit set.
But it's not gonna be too-too difficult.
With that said, it'll take about three hours, from start to finish, maybe a little bit more
if you wanna take your time which I definitely recommend.
Other than that, simple hand tools like a ratchet or impact gun and a socket set will
do the trick.
And with all that said, guys, I'm gonna take you through every step of the process starting
with getting our factory grille out of place on a '13 RAM behind me.
So what do you say we get started?
Tools used in this install include an impact gun, a 1/4 ratchet, 11/32 short socket, 8
and10-millimeter deep sockets, a 5/32 hex socket, 11/32 and 7/16 wrenches, a center
punch, needle-nose pliers, drill, 11/64 drill bit, flat-head screwdriver, panel removal
tool, and a body saw or similar.
So the first step of the uninstall here is to get your hood popped of course.
Grab a panel removal tool.
If you don't have one of these, I recommend picking it up from your local auto-parts store.
But if you don't wanna do that, you can always use a flat-head screwdriver.
I just find this to make life a little easier.
First step, once you get your hood popped is to grab the panel removal tool and remove
the plastic rivets or the push pin clips holding on your factory radiator shroud.
We're just gonna pry up and remove them, there's about six of them all around.
Just stick that panel tool right underneath and pry upward.
If your engine bay is a little bit dirty, like ours is, it can be a little resistant.
But you just pry off and they'll pop out.
And you're gonna do this for all six.
They're just Christmas-tree clips holding it in place.
All right, at this point, we have all of those pins removed, we can just pop the shroud off
and set it aside.
The next step here is to unbolt our factory upper-grille from the top underneath of our
radiator shroud.
The two bolts in the middle are 10-millimeters, and the two on the ends are eights.
The next step here, now that we have the top unbolted, is to pull back on the top portion,
and you'll see that loosens up, get a grip on the bottom here, and just pull straight
back.
One side disconnects.
The same thing over here.
Now, we can put it on our table.
So now, that we have our factory grille off of our RAM 1500 on the table here, I just
wanted to give you a quick side-by-side comparison between this and our new Rough Country mesh
grille.
Now I know we already talked about a lot of the details here, but seeing a side-by-side
comparison can give you a different perspective.
I wanted to show you guys exactly what you'll be losing and replacing here.
Now your factory grille, on our RAM 1500, has the chrome fins, three to be exact, in
each of the four corners.
It's got the color-match trim piece and the emblem in the middle in a chrome finish.
All of those design features are being completely replaced.
You are basically just gonna be unbolting the bracket from the back that bolted it up
underneath of your radiator shroud.
We'll be unbolting that and disassembling it and rebolting it to our new grille.
We're also gonna be doing a little bit of cutting, and trimming, and drilling to that
skeleton in the back of this grille in order to mount our new one.
So you're replacing the fin styling with a honeycomb mesh, replacing your color-matched
borders with our black-powder coated trim on the new one.
And instead of that factory emblem, you're gonna be getting the new Rough Country cutout
that I mentioned earlier.
That's gonna be just on the top here as you see there.
So with that said, complete night-and-day change between your factory grille and your
new one, but we're not done with this yet.
I'm gonna flip this over, we're gonna disassemble this.
And so, for now, I'm gonna set our Rough Country grille aside.
Now the first step of disassembling our factory grille to get that skeleton off is to grab
an 8-millimeter socket and remove about 10 bolts all around the upper edge holding this
bracket in place.
I'm gonna start here, on the right side, I'm gonna bang all these off.
At this point, we can just grab the brackets and remove that whole piece and set it aside.
The next step is to pop off these air ducts on the back of our factory grille.
And in order to do that, I'm gonna grab a flat-head screwdriver, we're basically just
gonna pry in between the plastic clips holding it together.
Now this might take a little bit of patience but you wanna get your flat-head in between
these little push pins that hold it in place and pull upward on it.
All right.
So getting these out is very tricky.
You just wanna pry your flat-head in and peel off those plastic clips all around the edges.
You'll hear them snap out of place.
Repeat this for the other side.
With those ducts out of the way, the next step is to remove the fins on both sides.
Same kinda clips, all around.
There's three on the bottom, three on the top, two on the side, and three more in the
middle.
Now as you go along, you wanna just slide your fingers underneath so they don't snap
back into place while you're working on the next one.
We've got these three bottom ones out of place, I'm just gonna keep my fingers down here to
make sure they don't snap back in.
Once you get toward the end, they pretty much just fall out of place and you can set this
aside.
All right, now we do the same thing on the other side.
Now the next step is to cut the vertical and horizontal bars off of our grille.
Now, in order to do this, you wanna be extremely careful not to damage any of the paint, and
to be as straight as possible.
We're gonna be using a body saw for this, it's an air tool, but you can use anything
similar to this if you have a different tool of your preference.
Also, I'm gonna painters-tape the edges here, just to make sure that I don't damage any
of the factory paint around the trim that is going to be reused in our new grille.
So I'm gonna set the painters tape in, the painters tape just a little bit more around
this edge here just to prevent any damage.
And we can also use this to draw a straight line across where we're gonna be cutting.
Basically, we're gonna cut straight against and flush against the edge trim to go straight
down.
Now you may find it easier to actually do the cut on the inside.
You can flip this over.
All right, now we flip this over and I'm gonna start from the back.
You get a little bit more detail around the edge.
And you can see a little bit easier where you're cutting.
I'm gonna go straight across.
Keep in mind, you can always take more off but you can't put more back on.
So make sure you're putting your blade exactly where you wanna cut, go as straight as possible.
And if you need to go back and do a little bit more, we can.
All right.
So we've cut these horizontal bars, next, we're gonna do the vertical one.
So I'm gonna flip back over and just tape off the outside here just in case the blade
kicks off so it doesn't nick the paint.
Start cutting right along this bottom edge.
At this point, we're gonna cut the top portion of the vertical bar on our grille, and we're
gonna leave just a little bit more room, a little bit more material on this end here,
to have our RC logo bolt to.
So, from here, we're gonna cut about an inch up using the bottom of this painters tape
as my marker.
Now that the cutting's out of the way, we're gonna bolt up our brackets to the inner mesh
grille, and the inner mesh grille to the outer trim.
We have hardware included in the kit.
The 1/4 inch by 5/8 bolts, the longer ones included in the kit are gonna bolt both the
grilles together and to the mounting bracket.
Where the mounting brackets are not gonna be located, we're gonna use the 1/4 inch by
1/2 inch bolts to bolt the two grilles together.
I know that sounds confusing, and I'll walk you through that process.
So step number one, grab the longer bolts in the kit, and we're gonna bolt up all of
the brackets to both grilles.
Now you wanna have the grilles face down working on the backside.
Put the longer bolt through the front on both grilles, and just tighten down the nylon lock
nut by hand.
Just get it nice and hand-tight.
And then, move along with the brackets.
Now the brackets go in a certain position along the grille.
So we're gonna start here at the bottom, we're gonna go four in and put the bracket, space
three out and go to the next one.
You don't wanna tighten these down with tools yet, you wanna make sure that this bracket
can rotate so that we can attach it to the shell of our factory grille.
The next one, you're gonna skip three spaces and go to this corner.
Put that bracket through, tighten it down by hand.
The next bracket's gonna go directly next to that.
Skip one and move on to the next bracket.
The next bracket is gonna be directly next to that as well.
Now we're gonna skip one and move on to the next bracket in that second hole.
Skip one again.
That's your open space for the backing of the RC logo.
Skip one again and use that next hole.
Skip one, and the next two are gonna get brackets.
All right, we're gonna skip one and the next two will get brackets as well.
All right.
And with that, that should be the last of your 1/4 inch by 5/8 bolts.
The rest of those open spaces, all the ones that we skipped are gonna get the 1/4 inch
by 1/2 inch bolts with no brackets at all.
So we're just gonna insert that into those open spaces and use the same nylon lock nuts.
So just a quick recap of the spaces that you're gonna use for the brackets and the spaces
you're going to skip.
With this faced down, from the back, starting at the top, you'll skip, hit the bracket,
skip, two brackets, skip, two brackets.
So the bottom corners will always have a bracket.
And then, there's gonna be three open spaces and a bracket, three open spaces and a bracket,
again, three open spaces, two at the corner, skip, two at the top corner, skip, and another
bracket leaving these two.
Now the rest of these open spaces are just gonna get the 1/4 inch by 1/2 inch bolts without
any brackets at all.
So we're gonna do the same thing just minus the brackets to the open space.
All right.
So we got a 1/4 inch by 1/2 inch bolts going straight through no brackets.
We're gonna use the same nylon lock nuts.
All right.
At this point, we can lay this on the inside of our factory grille shell and mark the holes
that we need to drill.
Now to bolt this down to our shell from the factory, I find it easier to lay it into place
from the front and grab a tape, I'm using gaff tape because it won't damage our factory
paint, and we're just gonna tape it down into place.
Now because the grille ships flat and it will need to be curved in order to line up properly
to our factory shell, I find it easier to line up and just tape as you see here, just
to make it sit in place and keep itself in place as we bolt everything on.
Perfect.
So we have that tape on both sides.
Now we're gonna flip it over and mark the holes we need to drill.
Basically that tape is just to hold this into place so it doesn't move, so we can mark the
locations of where we need to drill to mount these brackets.
So we left everything loose so we can rotate our bracket into position.
I'm gonna use a center punch to mark the hole that I need to drill.
Now that just gives it a little ding so we know that that's where we're drilling our
hole.
So we're gonna go around to each bracket and do that same thing.
If you don't have a center punch, a sharpie works, but because this is a dark-colored
car, it obviously isn't gonna be as easy.
So a center punch makes it a little easier.
Now that we have the grille back off of our shell, grab an 11/64-inch drill bit and drill
into the holes we just marked with our center punch, or if you're using a sharpie, drill
into those marked positions from the sharpie.
Now, I find it easier to work with the face up, it gives you a little bit more room with
the drill bit.
But if you have A-arms or something to lay this on top of, that can make life a little
easier too.
Just give yourself as comfortable of a space as you can to make sure your drilling is accurate.
So I've got my drill bit on my drill.
We're gonna knock this out.
The next step.
We have the grille back in place and, again, taped down.
We're gonna use these bolts to go in from the top and tighten them down to the nuts
with the teeth on them.
Now this is a little bit of a weird angle so it can be a little bit tricky.
But if you just tighten this down by hand on all of them, we'll then come back down
and bolt it up with our Allen key or socket.
All right.
Next up, grab your 3/32 Allen key or socket.
I've got mine, in our drill bit here, on our lowest setting so we don't strip anything.
Grab an 11/32 wrench to hold the nut on the back side.
Just tighten those down.
All right.
Now that we have our brackets bolted down, it's time to tighten up the rest of the hardware
connecting the two grille pieces.
So grab a 7/16 wrench and a 5/32 Allen socket or Allen key, and we're gonna tighten these
down.
I'm propping this up to make life a little easier.
Hold the nut on from the backside.
And just tighten down from the front.
All right.
The last step before we reinstall all of this onto our RAM is to grab that bracket that
attached to it originally.
That's gonna go right back into its position around the shell using those factory 10-8
millimeter bolts.
We've got those here, we're just gonna line that up to its original location and just
start to tighten them down.
Got my 8-millimeter socket here.
All right, with that last bolt in place, it's time to throw it back in our truck.
Well, we're just about done.
We've got our grille back into place.
And when you're putting it back on the truck, make sure you're hooking in the bottom clips
to their slots.
Without that, you'll have a little gap at the bottom.
So we got those through, they're lined up at the top.
Now if you remember, in the beginning of the uninstall, taking our factory grille off,
there were two 8-millimeter bolts and two 10-millimeters.
The two eights, one on each side, and the two tens are gonna be in the middle so we're
gonna bolt that back up.
All right.
Now we can grab our tens.
Now the last step is to throw your radiator shroud back.
All right, we can push those clips back down at the top, and the smaller ones will get
pushed back into those smaller locations.
Well, guys, with your shroud back on and everything in place, you are good to go.
That's gonna wrap up my review and install for the Rough Country mesh upper grille available
for the '13 to '18 RAM 1500, with the exception of the limited and rebel models.
You can grab yours right here at americantrucks.com.
