Water Bottles

John B. Marine | 5/23/2023 11:12:00 PM | | Be the first to comment!
When temperatures rise or when you need to hydrate after exercise, water bottles help to keep you hydrated. Just fill them up with water and drink when thirsty. You could fill them up with water from home or from water fountains. It is best you use water bottles that are sturdy and that you can take around.

Water bottles come in a variety of sizes and styles. A basic water bottle can be plain colored, and more stylish ones can have fancy graphics to them. Some water bottles have either their own straw to sip from or have to be unscrewed to drink out of. It is even better to have a water bottle that is easy to drink out of. Find a water bottle that suits your needs and that you can carry around easily.

No matter what, be sure to get a water bottle to stay hydrated when it is warm outside or if you are trying to hydrate after exercise.

This is just a quick post to get you to remember to hydrate when you can, especially when you are away from home or if you're exercising hard. If you want to help support me and my work, or if you want to get you (or gift to someone else) a water bottle, I can help you! Take a look at the water bottles in this widget below. I have curated this collection of many different styles and designs of water bottles.

Kris Patt

John B. Marine | 5/23/2023 02:56:00 AM | | | | | Be the first to comment!
Kris Patt is a Filipino singer who can be seen as a throwback. She harks back to powerful singing of ballads, but she also has a love of dancing. I decided to blog about her and introduce her to you all. Get ready to be impressed with the wonderful singing and fun dancing she provides. Let's get it!






Kris Patt


Meet Kris Patt:

Kris Patt
^ from: (Spotify) - Kris Patt combines singing and dancing into a highly entertaining package.

Mary Christine Faustino goes by her stage name of Kris Patt. She is a native of the Philippines based in Malaysia. After having sung to guests at hotels before going solo, Kris Patt has had a lot of experience singing and performing for many people. So what is Kris Patt's music style like? Well, she is a throwback to powerful singing of ballads from between the 1970s and the 1990s. Kris Patt is also a singer who enjoys dancing as much as she does singing. Kris Patt claims having musical inspirations such as Whitney Houston and Shakira.

Kris Patt's favorite color is blue, and the fans whom enjoy her music are whom she considers her angels. Therefore, her fan base is referred to as her "Blue Angels." This is NO relation to the Blue Angels of the United States Navy's flight demonstration known as the Blue Angels.

I learned of Kris Patt when I was looking around Twitch and stopped by her channel. Her singing was so beautiful and powerful that I decided to drop a follow to her channel. Kris Patt recently celebrated one year streaming on Twitch back in April 2023. She also recently released her own original song in her native tongue


Quick Take on Kris Patt's Performing.

Kris Patt sings beautifully and powerfully. She does remind me of Whitney Houston, putting emotion and power into her singing. I think she also reminds me of Jessica Simpson. She has an equal love of dancing, and it sort of breaks up the seriousness and emotion of her singing. Her dancing is a creative diversion, so to speak. She also has a clever sense of style whether dressed casually or all dolled up. While she does mostly covers of songs on her Twitch and YouTube channels, Kris Patt has created some original songs in her time such as "Berhenti Menantimu" and "Taman Permainan."

As someone who just recently discovered Kris Patt and her singing and dancing, I must say I am very impressed at her singing ability as well as her dancing. She really sort of brings back singing and performing to powerful pop ballads, R&B classics, disco songs, various forms of rock, and even country. Kris Patt really covers the musical spectrum better than nearly any other recording artist.

While Kris Patt refers to her fans as "Blue Angels," Kris Patt herself is a singing and dancing goddess who delivers divine and ethereal singing along with a playfully fun love of dancing. She will easily impress ones with the most keen ears for music and dancing.


What I Would Tell Kris Patt...

Kris Patt, you are an excellent singer and a great performer. Your willingness to perform coupled with your incredible singing ability makes you one of the brightest stars in music right now. I wish you more success and greater success than you have achieved so far in your singing career. Keep up the great work!


Singing and Dancing Samples.

Here are some samples of Kris Patt singing and dancing. Take a look and have a listen:


^ 1st Stream Anniversary on Twitch

I wanted to feature Kris Patt dancing, so here now is a bit of Kris Patt dancing and singing:

^ Made You Look - Meghan Trainor | Kris Patt sing and dance cover

Cool, huh? :)


For More Information...

You can visit Kris Patt's Twitch channel at Kris Patt on Twitch to hear her singing and watch her dance.

Seth Emmanuelle

John B. Marine | 4/06/2023 01:00:00 AM | | | | Be the first to comment!
Seth Emmanuelle is a singing star on the rise. Usually showcasing her musical talent on her Twitch channel, this Filipino singing star captivates with her amazing voice. Taking part in various singing competitions, Seth is trying to make a name for herself in becoming a future musical superstar. I am presenting this blog post to introduce her to you all.






Seth Emmanuelle


This is Seth Emmanuelle:

Seth Emmanuelle
^ from: (Spotify) - Superstar of the future? Meet Seth Emmanuelle.

Seth Emmanuelle is a singer from the Philippines who showcases her work on Twitch and Spotify. She mostly is adept performing on guitar. However, she also tends to perform on piano and (maybe) ukulele also. Visitors to her Twitch channel are invited to request songs for her to perform. The music she performs are a mix of covers and some of her own original songs. Her original songs include "Worth It," "Rise," and her latest song, "Can't Help But Feel Alright."

Seth Emmanuelle sings sweetly and performs passionately, smiling all the while. Sometimes even in her Twitch streams, her family even tags along for some performances. I think Seth has a wonderful voice and manages to be both powerful and sweet in her singing. In a way, I'd say she is like Jessica Simpson or Taylor Swift. Since Seth mostly plays guitar, I'd say she's more talent-wise with Taylor Swift. It is always a fun experience to visit Seth's channel and all she does. There is no shortage of quality content produced by this up-and-coming singing superstar.


Music Sample.

Here is a sample of Seth's singing talent that I found on YouTube. Have a listen so you can observe her talent from one of her original songs:



^ worth it - david mercado ft. seth emmanuelle (acoustic)

Enjoyed this performance?


What I Would Tell Seth Emmanuelle...

Seth, you are an outstanding musical personality. I enjoy your Twitch work and wish you nothing but the best in all of your endeavors in music and in life. Keep up the great work. Perhaps one day, you will not only be one of the finest musical talents from the Philippines, but also in the entire world. Keep at it and best wishes to you!


For More Information...

If you would like to learn more about Seth Emmanuelle and her music, visit the following links provided:

I hope I've featured Seth Emmanuelle in a decent capacity to where you can be a fan of her fine singing and incredible personality. If you do enjoy her musical work, I'd like for you to show your support for her in any capacity. I am doing all of this out of respect for Seth Emmanuelle.

Speedvision Returns!

John B. Marine | 4/03/2023 07:09:00 PM | | | | | Be the first to comment!
Speedvision blew minds in 1995 with its devotion to automotive culture and motorsports. It became Speed Channel in 2002, and that offered more automotive awesomeness. It also had more NASCAR and Americana than Speedvision. It all ended in 2013, as Speed became FOX Sports 1. Now around 2022 and 2023, Speedvision rose up like the legendary Phoenix and became reborn as free ad-supported television (FAST). I'll be sharing some thoughts on the reborn Speedvision in this blog post, and I will also show some retrospective.






Speedvision Retrospective


I learned about the new Speedvision back on March 25, 2023 when I was watching a commercial on a network on Local Now. Before discussing the new Speedvision and know a lot about its importance to me as an automotive enthusiast and motorsports enthusiast, I must provide some retrospective. Because I have been such an avid Speedvision fan, I have a LOT of retrospective to cover before getting on to the main point of this blog post. Journey with me here...


My Retrospective on Speedvision.

The FOX-owned Speedvision hit airwaves first in 1995. The channel has had a handful of great shows and even at times some automotive-related movies. Speedvision was also well known for coverage of motorsports worldwide. Speedvision was best known for showing most motorsports not usually shown on the major networks. This is what made Speedvision so loved and revered. It would show a lot of racing events ranging from grassroots motorsports all the way to major events such as the Formula 1 World Championship, the World Rally Championship, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

What made Speedvision unique also related their unconditional love of any vehicle with a motor. Usually, Speedvision would dedicate Tuesday to "Two-Wheel Tuesdays," and Wednesdays would be "Wings and Water Wednesdays." Tuesdays were all about motorcycle racing usually with coverage of World Superbike and MotoGP. Tuesdays would also see a quality motorcycle show called "American Thunder," focused on some cool cruiser motorcycles and chopper motorcycles.

"Wings and Water Wednesday" was what it sounded like it was about- planes and boats. So on these days, you would watch things like plane races on the planes side. A handful of races involving powerboats, hydroplanes, jet skis, and more would make up "Wings and Water Wednesday."

Weekends were mostly devoted to both racing action as well as some automobile movies. So you could see movies like "Le Mans" or "The Speed Merchants" on Saturday nights. The weekends also had "Speedvision News" with all of the latest news updates in the world of motorsports. Usually when NASCAR was done, there would be coverage of international racing series such as the British Touring Car Championship, DTM, Australian V8 Supercars, and more.

In addition to quality automotive programming, it also sponsored SCCA racing with touring cars and GT cars with the Speedvision World Challenge series. This was an opportunity to see quality road racing featuring many racing talent racing across tracks in the United States and Canada. These were fun-to-watch racing events that further enhanced the appeal of Speedvision. Speedvision did have something different from the mainstream racing series when the USAR Hooters Pro Cup was featured mostly on Thursday nights. It also played host to covering non-racing events, such as the Barrett-Jackson Automobile Auction. Speedvision even shown off coverage of the SCCA's greatest showcase of talent- the SCCA Runoffs.

Speedvision did have some featured programs that I remember best in the Speedvision days. "Motorsport Mundial" was a great show showcasing the world of racing in a 30-minute program. "Legends of Motorsport" takes you back in time with past names, races, and marques who helped shape motorsports history. Speedvision also featured the "Victory by Design" series, which highlighted on certain world-class marques. The cars were driven and narrated by the late Alain de Cadenet (whom I loved). There was even the fun show, "Dream Car Garage," featuring the late Tom Hnatiw and Peter Klutt. This show had some very nice cars featured and worked on. For some perspective on automotive news, Speedvision shown "Autoline Detroit" with host John McElroy.

A lot of the personalities that made Speedvision included (but not limited to) Bob Varsha, David Hobbs, Calvin Fish, Dorsey Schroder, Rick Benjamin, Greg Creamer, Tommy Kendall, and Alain de Cadenet.

Speedvision had bigger plans for when 2002 came around. Gone was Speedvision and in will become Speed Channel the following year. Speedvision will be gone and be reborn as... Speed Channel.


My Retrospective of Speed Channel.

That magical formula of Speedvision would be modified when Speedvision became Speed Channel in 2002. With Speed Channel, more of Americana would make Speed Channel a bit more mainstream with NASCAR and some other mostly American racing series. Some would feel Speedvision lost its luster when it started being more NASCAR-friendly rather than stick to its love of all things automotive and motorsports. While it wasn't the perfect formula to some, the same love of automotive culture and motorsports was still alive. Many more new shows would surface as well as a broader array of featured motorsports events with Speed Channel.

So what did this new Speed Channel bring? Well, there is now two different Speed News shows- one devoted to NASCAR, and one devoted to all other motorsports. NASCAR Practice and Qualifying was on Speed Channel. It was mostly Mondays that were devoted to NASCAR. Tuesdays were still motorcycle-friendly. However, there wasn't any more of "Wings and Water Wednesday." Weekends were still about full-speed racing action. Some Speedvision purists would probably think this new Speed Channel shyed away from what Speedvision was all about. If Speed Channel brought something great, its grandest show was "WindTunnel With Dave Despain," a one-hour call-in show featuring motorcycle aficionado Dave Despain talking about the world of motorsports and interviewing many motorsports and automotive personalities.

What about shows? Between 2002 and Speed's demise, a lot more unique shows came along. Among the many- Hi-Rev Tuners, Sports Car Revolution, LUCAS Oil On The Edge, Fifth Gear, SpeedFreaks, MotorWeek (syndicated), Forza Motorsport Showdown, Pinks, Pinks All-Out, 100 Cars You Must Drive, Pass Time, Wrecked, Test Drive, World's Greatest Auto Shows, Tuner Transformation, I Wanna Date a Race Car Driver, Texas Hardtails, Setup, Drag Race High, and Wrecked. That was quite enough shows to keep automobile fans busy!

As Speedvision became Speed Channel, the Speedvision World Challenge would become the Speed Channel World Challenge. Personally around this time with "Sports Car Revolution," this was where I got to appreciate Chip Herr when he raced in the series. There were still a lot of great series that were aired on the network. In the later years of Speed Channel before its demise, it would even be the home of AMA Supercross.

Most of the same talent that made Speedvision great returned for Speed Channel. Among the newer names were Robin Miller, Leigh Diffey, Jamie Howe, and more.

What is this "demise of Speed Channel" I speak of? Well, some time in 2013, Speed Channel started airing things... other than motorsports. Speed Channel shown a pageant featuring Hooters girls, and they even aired some football (as in soccer) from the English Premier League. This was where Speed Channel was going to become FOX Sports 1. Additionally, Fuel TV, a channel devoted to outdoor sports, was to become FOX Sports 2.

Then on August 17, 2013; Speed Channel would become... FOX Sports 1, and Fuel TV would become... FOX Sports 2. Gone are 18 years devoted to automobile programming and motorsports programming. In their places are a sports network devoted to different kinds of sports but still airs racing from time to time. I called this move as "the biggest middle-finger to motorsports fans" when Speed Channel became FS1. Media would be without a true motorsports home.


Life After Speedvision/Speed Channel.

What happened after Speed Channel became no more? Mostly NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) had a good deal of featuring motorsports including the IndyCar Series, MotoGP, and even Formula 1. When NBC Sports Network became no more, the various NBC Networks (NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, and USA Network) have shown various racing series as well as other sports. CBS Sports Network featured a lot of motorsports also. This included the LUCAS Oil Off-Road Series and the Blancpain GT3 Series among others. The only networks close to what Speed Channel used to provide are MavTV for motorsports, and then Motor Trend TV for mostly automotive programming, and MTTV shows the 24 Hours of Le Mans on American television.


Even with these channels offering here-and-there content, it wasn't Speedvision or Speed Channel. Different channels with the same devotion is like having multiple friends or lovers for different things... only no singular entity offering all that Speedvision had to offer. That is... until 2022 and 2023...




Speedvision Returns!


Now for the main course of this blog post- Speedvision RETURNS! Speedvision returns as a free ad-supported television (FAST) network with over 500 hours of automotive programming. It can be seen on a number of platforms and TV apps. I watch Speedvision on Local Now. However, it can also be seen on other platforms like PLEX.

Speedvision has a lot going for it as a FAST network. Shows new and old are on this new Speedvision. Among them, Gearz, Truck U, Graveyard Cars, AmeriCarna, My Superbike Family, and more. Some other automotive programs are in the pipeline for the future of Speedvision. Shows like "Zero-60," "14th Street Wheels," and "Radford Reborn" are coming in the future as of April 3, 2023.

The new Speedvision does have one or two programs I saw that reminded me of the old Speedvision- two programs devoted to plane documentaries. One of those shows I saw was on the Tuskegee Airmen.


What I Want for the New Speedvision.

The amount of content for Speedvision so far is very good. I do, however, want Speedvision to somehow get itself some motorsports programming. This is to purely be like the former Speedvision. A number of other FAST networks have motorsports coverage, including (but not limited to) MavTV Select, MotorRacing, motorsport.tv, and Auto AllStars. The only thing I'm unsure about is if they could have themselves old school Speedvision and Speed Channel shows- just to take things back in time.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like "Legends of Motorsport" return with classic motorsports coverage. On the racing coverage front, I wouldn't mind seeing maybe some Trans-Am, SCCA racing, NASA racing, some grassroots racing, time attack, just a variety of racing. I just want to see a modern Speedvision drawing on past energy to produce some great material for the future.

That is more of what I am after- give newer viewers a quality experience of Speedvision, but then also let the old Speedvision fans get to enjoy the Speedvision that has been absent for a number of years.


Preview and More Information.

This is the official trailer for the new Speedvision. Check it...

I am glad to see Speedvision return, and I have a good feeling this reborn channel will last. At least this will last longer than, say... G4 TV.





Two-thirds of this blog post was retrospective, but I still had my say on the new Speedvision while looking back on the former Speedvision/Speed Channel. I hope you enjoyed my work here!

Air Fryers and Air Frying

John B. Marine | 3/21/2023 01:30:00 AM | | | | Be the first to comment!
(UPDATED: May 24, 2023)

Air fryers have been all the cooking rage lately. The range of foods you can cook and prepare are vast. Those against air fryers say they are glorified convection ovens. I'll blog about air fryers for you and maybe convince you to get one... if I like them. I invite you to read my blog post regarding air fryers in case you are interested about air fryers.


BEFORE I BEGIN...

This blog post contains affiliate links. Any involvement in purchasing any items can result in me getting commission for qualified purchases.


LATEST UPDATE(S)/REVISION(S)...

MAY 24 2023 - a few edits made






Air Fryers at a Glance


Air fryers have exploded in popularity for their ease of use and for the different foods you can prepare. They have become a healthy cooking alternative for preparing food without the need for oil. They use heating elements to cook food despite the "fryer" in their name. You can still put in oil and seasoning(s) for food, but this isn't a deep fryer, griller, skillet, or anything like that. Most air fryers can cook for temperatures as low as 200°F and as high as 400°F. An air fryer can also be used to defrost or thaw certain foods.

The meal options for air fryers can range from leftover cold food to some other foods. Some food in an air fryer some people may not even know is possible. For example, I once prepared hard boiled eggs in an air fryer. It is possible to even cook rotisserie chicken or crabs. To help in giving people ideas for air frying, there are a number of air fryer magazines and cookbooks to buy. A handful of websites and online videos also help give people some air frying recipes and instructions.

An air fryer is able to prepare some meals for longer than a microwave but shorter than a stove. If you are unsure of the cooking temperatures or times for an air fryer, the usual rule of thumb is to take 25% of the oven cooking temperature and 50% of the cooking time. So (for example) if a meal is to be cooked at 425°F for 20 minutes, an air fryer can prepare the same meal at 400°F for 10 minutes. Getting optimal cooking for a lot of meals may suggest you flip over or shake whatever is in the air fryer. For oven-type air fryers, you may need to rotate tray(s) at halfway or at certain points.

Popular manufacturers of air fryers include the likes of PowerXL, Ninja Kitchen, Cosori, and KALORIK. Even the famous chef, Emeril Lagasse, has his own air fryer- the Emeril Air Fryer 360. However, lesser brands also make their own air fryers. Most air fryers can begin at a price of about $40 USD but can rise to almost $200 USD (and sometimes above $200 USD). Air fryers can be as small as two quarts but can go much greater to cook more food and some bigger food items.


Now that you know about air fryers in general, let's explore the different kinds of air fryers.




Air Fryer Types


Allow me to share certain types of air fryers:


Basket Air Fryers.

air fryer
^ from: High Street TV - The most common air fryers are of the basket variety. An air fryer can open you up to many cooking opportunities.

The most common air fryers are of the basket variety. A basket-style air fryer allow you to drop in food to be heated. These air fryers consist of a basket and a drip pan. The drip pan is where the different juices fall to after cooking. To open a basket-type air fryer, remove the basket by pulling out the basket from the handle. Dump in whatever food you want to put into it. Once you have everything set up, put the whole assembly- basket and drip pan back into the air fryer.

Cooking advice for a basket air fryer is to stop the air fryer at halfway to either shake the air fryer or flip over foods in the air fryer.


Air Fryer Ovens and Air Fryer Toaster Ovens.

^ from: Walmart - Oven-type air fryers lack the convenience of basket-type air fryers, but the range of foods you can prepare is greater.

Oven-type air fryers allow you to cook more food at a time, and you can even use some extra features not possible with a basket air fryer. Air fryer ovens allow you to use a tumbler or even use some forks for rotisserie chicken. Use the tumbler for food like French fries or tater tots. Use the rotisserie tools for rotisserie chicken. Getting a bigger air fryer will allow you to cook more food at a time. In addition, you can utilize the use of trays in an oven air fryer to cook food with. Place the tray higher up to be closer to the top heating element. Or, you may opt to put one tray near the bottom heating element in case you want the bottom heating element to be used. You may also need to rotate the tray(s) for an even cook of food.

If you have an air fryer oven but prefer having an air fryer basket, you can purchase air fryer kits that include an air fryer basket that can fit into your air fryer oven.


Air Fryer Pressure Cookers.

^ from: QVC - Some air fryers are also pressure cookers, such as this one.

If you use something like an Instant Pot, this style of air fryer may be familiar to you. In addition to pressure cooking, you can air fry in these devices. You may even be better able to air fry whole chickens in them. You may also be able to cook more items in more layers in this style air fryer. This would be a great air fryer to use if you want to prepare things like rice, mixed vegetables, boiled eggs, and more while also still using it to air fry food.


Air Frying Stoves/Ovens?

^ from: Frigidaire - Some stoves have air frying modes.

Some stoves of late have air frying capabilities. Therefore, you can do your air frying with a stove rather than have a proper air fryer to cook with. The advantage to this is being able to prepare more food for more people than with a basic air fryer or air fryer oven. Plus, you still can use your stove for basic cooking.


My Air Fryer Experience.

I started to become more interested in cooking around September 2021. My air fryer interests were starting to grow over the coming months. I first got to make my first toaster oven meal in December 2021, which was a grilled cheese sandwich. Later that month, I made my first air fryer meal- a grilled cheese sandwich with chopped pieces of cocktail shrimp. The ease of use of the air fryer got me to stick with the air fryer for my meals. I started using the air fryer more often to expand my array of meals to cook. I started to share more of my meals on Facebook based on videos I've seen and recipes I followed from websites and online videos.

The air fryer I use is a PowerXL Vortex with about 5 quarts of space. My household also has a PowerXL Vortex Pro air fryer which has not been used. I have been fairly happy using PowerXL products for air frying. However, I have looked at Ninja or Cosori air fryers if I were to choose a separate brand.


Now that you been briefed on air fryers, let's talk about why they are so appealing and what gives them their appeal.




Why Air Fryers?


What makes air fryers a big deal? For one, I consider the air fryer an upgrade over the microwave. An air fryer can cook food better than in the microwave. Most foods that come from the microwave may be soggy and not have as much a crispy texture. If you are defrosting or reheating leftover food, air frying can make food crispy and tasty much better and safer than in a microwave.

Foods prepared in the air fryer can cut down calories and sodium after cooking. Some air fryers claim to reduce as much as 70% of calories and even cut down on sodium when air frying foods. Air fryers, therefore, can offer a healthy way of cooking.

Some foods cook better and take shorter amounts of time to prepare. For foods you normally can't microwave, an air fryer is a viable alternative. Air frying is great for meals such as Mozzarella sticks, tater tots, French fries, chicken wings, and more. You may even find some foods may be better and more fun to prepare in an air fryer than a microwave or stove. One thing I can tell you right away is that bread cooks very quickly in an air fryer. Bread products can be just as toasty as putting them in a toaster... even if you normally can't toast some breads!

Air fryers, as mentioned before, can also be used to defrost or thaw certain foods. They can also be a great way to reheat cold, leftover food. An air fryer can reheat leftovers almost to their original crispiness and taste. It can perform this task more masterfully than you could with a microwave. For example, you would be surprised how well a slice of pizza would cook in an air fryer as opposed to in the microwave.

For places that don't allow for stoves or ovens to be in the building, an air fryer can be a great way to enjoy quality meals without relying on the microwave. If you have a portable generator or a vehicle that has its own power unit, you could even prepare food in an air fryer when not in front of a stove or microwave. They also take up less space. Air fryers also don't heat up the kitchen as much as a stove can.

These are among some of the many reasons people enjoy air fryers. A microwave is more convenient and actually uses less electricity than an air fryer, but air fryers can do so much better cooking than a microwave can do.




Air Fryer Hints


While an air fryer can be great for cooking, you need to be mindful of a few things to safely and properly use your air fryer. A few hints will be mentioned in this section. Take a look at these bits before you consider getting an air fryer:

This first point I have no personal experience with, but I want to share it anyways...

• Properly clean a brand-new or unused air fryer. If you have a brand-new air fryer, it is recommended you clean the inside and its parts thoroughly to get out the plastic taste of food from the air fryer. A lot of websites and online videos you do various test cooks for a total of about one hour or an hour in 15-minute intervals. If there are still plastic smells, you may need to consult the manufacturer of your air fryer or simply get a new one. It is probably also recommended to do a sample air fry to test it out. You can simply air fry a slice of bread for a test.

• Some surfaces can crack from air frying! I heard of how placing an air fryer on some surfaces (such as marble counter tops) while cooking can damage or crack certain surfaces. If you feel squeamish about this, place your air fryer on top of some sturdy surface (like a wooden chop board) to prevent certain surfaces from getting cracked or damaged. If possible, you may need to do your air frying outside of the kitchen (or even outdoors).

• Use aluminum foil or parchment paper if you want to make cleanup easier. I always use either aluminum foil or air fryer liners to make cleanup easier. Food that is air fried usually has juices that go down below the air fryer basket. Aluminum foil is great enough to cook with without fearing getting the bottom dirty or greasy. It is best to use parchment paper for breads or certain foods that aren't greasy or messy when cooked.

• Certain oven-safe items can be used in your air fryer. For better cooking, you can use air fryer pans, silicone pads, and more for cooking. Certain air fryer pans can be good for preparing things like omelets, egg bites, and more. I even saw you can use aluminum foil pans for air frying while researching this topic. You will need to look online for what items can be safe to put in your air fryer for cooking. Some items that may not be air fryer friendly can damage your air fryer or even burn up your air fryer.

• Try to keep food in one layer, and space out individual portions for even cooking. If you have a bag of tater tots, French fries, chicken wings, mixed vegetables, or anything like that; it is great practice to keep everything in one layer. If you are preparing more of one item, you may need to prepare them in batches. This is especially if you have a smaller air fryer. Also, you may need to try to space out individual portions so they cook easier. DO NOT crowd or completely fill up the air fryer.

• Be mindful of the speed of air fryers. An air fryer uses a lot of hot air and some fans to cook food. Therefore, it is important to keep the heating element(s) free to properly operate. Some food cooked in the air fryer may emit some steam. This is perfectly fine. However, black smoke could mean the air fryer may be burning. Also, because of the furious speed of how air fryers work, lighter items can fly off of cooked food. So you will need to weigh down some lighter items like pepperoni on pizza or bacon. You can use certain air fryer racks to weigh down some items.

• Be mindful of smoke points. Although air fryers cook without oil, you can still use certain oil and some products in an air fryer. Invest in certain spray oils with smoke points greater than 400°F. Examples of good oils to use in an air fryer include canola oil, avocado oil (which I use), grapeseed oil, coconut oil, and ghee. Some people even suggest you use spritzers to lightly oil food because it's healthier. While non-sticking spray on the air fryer basket can help food from sticking, it is perhaps better to use oils with a high smoke point.

• Wash your air fryer basket regularly. If a lot of food and grease get on your air fryer basket, you will need to clean it regularly. It is recommended you clean your air fryer basket after every use. The metal basket can be detached from the inside of the bottom part of the air fryer. I often clean the metal element of the air fryer basket and the inside of the air fryer basket can be cleaned with dishwashing soap on a sponge or cleanser. Use that along with running water to clean them.


Now that you know about some of the tidbits about air fryers, I now will provide some final thoughts.




Air Fryers: Final Thoughts


Air fryers likely will not replace many of your cooking appliances. However, they can carry the same level of quality (if not better) than your toaster, microwave, BBQ grill, or stove. The ease of use for air fryers can make cooking fun. If you want to cook more than what can be cooked in a microwave but do not want to risk burning down the house with a stove, an air fryer is a safe and great middle ground for cooking. Lots of people whom I have chatted with about air fryers have been mostly satisfied because of the ease of use with an air fryer and how well you can cook food with them. Air fryers, however, will not replace all of your appliances. Some foods cook better in other devices than in the air fryer. Most air fryers even are great mostly for one or two people. Cooking for larger audiences can take longer or may require something better and more efficient than an air fryer. As with any appliance, proper care and maintenance are required to keep your air fryer in tip-top shape.

Personally, I think if you are on the fence about getting an air fryer, or if you are gifted an air fryer and unsure as to whether or not to keep/use it; I suggest you get an air fryer. The cooking options and array of meals you can prepare are much more than a microwave and much safer than using a stove. The air fryer will not replace your microwave, but it is an upgrade over the microwave. You can get yourself either a basket air fryer or an oven air fryer. While I do not recommend them, you can even get stoves that have air frying capabilities if you so fancy them and still want to use your stove for basic cooking. If you want inspiration or meal ideas, use various websites and look at various online videos. You may also buy air fryer cookbooks. Air fryers may even come with their own cookbooks when you purchase one.

Keep on air frying! :)

Ferrari Purosangue

John B. Marine | 3/12/2023 10:55:00 PM | | Be the first to comment!
Oh, no! What is the world coming to?! A Ferrari SUV? First of all, calm down. That's what many of us were thinking at just the thought of a Ferrari SUV. Well, that SUV is here, and it's called the Purosangue. I want to share some thoughts on the Ferrari Purosangue in this blog post. Maybe you can agree or disagree with my points. Let's chat!


BEFORE I BEGIN...

This blog post is NOT a journalistic review at the Ferrari Purosangue. Everything you see here is all opinion-based with a handful of facts.

Though this blog is under the category of "Car Style," I retired the Car/Motorcycle/Motorsport Style designation from my blog posts (or will eventually) and simply use them for my blog posts about specific vehicles.






Ferrari Purosangue


Meet the Ferrari Purosangue...

Ferrari Purosangue
^ from: (YouTube) - The Ferrari Purosangue is not your average sport utility vehicle for a number of reasons.



The Ferrari Purosangue is Ferrari's first sport utility vehicle and its first four-door vehicle. The word "Purosangue" translates to "thoroughbred." It is a sport utility vehicle that allows you to enjoy the awesomeness only Ferrari can provide but in SUV form. Just entertaining the thought of an SUV left a lot of people to wonder, "ANOTHER SUV..."


Ferrari Pursosangue: Basic Specifications.

Some of the basic numbers on the Ferrari Purosangue are as follows. For one thing, the Purosangue has a normally-aspirated, 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 715 horsepower and 528 lb. ft of torque. It can go from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 193 mph. The vehicle weighs in at 4850 lbs. The Purosangue has an all-wheel drive (AWD) drivetrain.


Why an SUV, Ferrari? WHY?!

The sport utility vehicle has evolved over the past decades. They mostly began as rugged trucks able to carry people and goods safely. They had the usefulness of a truck and either a station wagon/estate car or a minivan. Over time, more car-based SUVs surfaced. SUVs also became less thirsty for fuel over its evolution. Even some of the most unlikely companies made their own sport utility vehicles- including (but not limited to) Porsche, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Aston Martin. Chances are, none of these SUVs from high-end makers will overshadow more common trucks and SUVs. On the other hand, not one of these exotic SUVs would really blow away most heavyweights in SUVs. Most companies sell SUVs to be their entry-level or low-level offerings. Some would call it a cheap way to get into most of these world-class manufacturers' ecosystems.

What would cringe most people is why Ferrari decided to make an SUV. I mean- we're talking about Ferrari here. What business does Ferrari have making their own SUV when they could be making dream supercars, dream hypercars, and dream race cars? Well, whether you love or loathe SUVs, there is one universal fact- SUVs sell. People buy and use SUVs in their lives. Ferrari perhaps felt it was best to bestow with enough coin to afford a Purosangue to give them not only the best SUV experience, but also enjoy all that makes a Ferrari distinctive and incredible in a most unusual and even most unexpected form.

Even though the Ferrari Purosangue is an SUV, and while most companies offer SUVs as entry-level access to some dealers, the Ferrari Purosangue does NOT come cheap. In fact, a Purosangue will set you back about $402K USD, so you'd better bring some money if you want one of these.


Ferrari Purosangue: Why Should I Care?

The Ferrari Purosangue is actually engineered beautifully as a sporty road-going SUV. I emphasized road-going because it is not likely you are going to push this SUV to the limits off-road like here in America, on rally-style roads in Europe, or even the touge mountain passes of Japan. The Purosangue stands alone because it was built from the ground up and not based on any other offering from Ferrari or some other company within Ferrari. It has a lot of ducts and extra touches to give it the best possible performance on the road. Don't laugh, but this Purosangue is pure Ferrari in an SUV form. It even has luxurious accommodations without feeling like high-ranked government officials or excessively rich individuals should be driving them. The Purosangue has some driver modes and features to make it feel more like a sports car when pushed hard enough. Ferrari is basically selling the Purosangue in the sense of being a pure sports car under an SUV guise.

In other words... think of the Ferrari Purosangue as a much more utilitarian (and personally, better looking) FF with the DNA of the Ferrari Roma.


Now for some final thoughts.




Ferrari Purosangue: Final Thoughts


The Ferrari Purosangue is a sport utility vehicle that is not your average sport utility vehicle. It is not even your average high-end sport-utility vehicle. This is not going to be the posh SUV that will carry around the likes of the Kardashians or the Jenners. It is instead an SUV with a distinctive personality and exquisite engineering to set itself apart from all other SUVs. Ferrari succeeded at an SUV that can comfortably carry around more people and a decent amount of cargo. Its high price tag of around $402K USD (excluding taxes) may seem exorbitant and silly, but you are getting a sport utility vehicle with a great emphasis on "sport."

Maybe the Ferrari Purosangue won't make you the toughest driver in a truck and SUV meet. Maybe you won't traverse the harshest of terrains or compete in the most extreme off-roading events in the Purosangue. Then again... could you do this in SUVs like the Cayenne, Urus, Stelvio, DBX, Bentayga, Cullinan, or other exotic SUVs? Not even a lot of people in today's crossover SUVs actually push them off-road, so what's the point? I therefore see the Purosangue as a pure driver's SUV for those who have the money to afford one. It may not replace the Testarossa, F40, F430, Enzo Ferrari, LaFerrari, or whatever your all-time favorite Ferrari is; however, it will definitely be one of the most unique and memorable Ferraris ever made. Rather than complain about yet another SUV on the market, praise the Purosangue as one of the most exotic, exclusive, and all around fun vehicles (let alone SUVs) ever produced.


For More Information...

Allow me to give you a video of the SUV you were reading about all of this time, along with other resources for you to learn more about the Ferrari Purosangue:

Flashpoint

John B. Marine | 11/20/2022 10:41:00 PM | | | Be the first to comment!
On December 31, 2020; Adobe ended support of Flash-based games played in Internet browsers. A lot of the past Flash games moved on to HTML5. What if you wanted to play those old Flash games again or watch Flash videos? Well, unlike games for the OUYA you actually CAN play old Flash games again! Meet Flashpoint. Flashpoint was developed by BlueMaxima to get you to play old Flash games again. I learned of Flashpoint when I was looking for YouTube videos and saw a video about Flashpoint. I will discuss Flashpoint to you all and what I think about it. So come along for this voyage!



BEFORE I BEGIN...

As of the time of this blog post (November 20, 2022), the latest version is Version 11, "Oops! All Plugins!". Future updates may be different from the version that will be discussed in this blog post.






Flashpoint


BlueMaxima's Flashpoint will allow you to play just about any Flash game conceived. If you can remember the name of an online Flash game you played before or a certain developer or publisher of that game, there is a good chance you will find it in Flashpoint. There is a good chance you will find a game you once played, considering there is a database of over 162,000 Flash games listed in Flashpoint! This program will also allow you to view various animations. So maybe if you remember (for example) a funny animation you saw on Newgrounds, you might find it again through Flashpoint and be able to see it again. All you need to enjoy these past titles (or play a game for the first time ever) is Flashpoint and the latest version of Adobe Flash Player you have.

Flashpoint is available for Windows, but there are steps to use Flashpoint for Mac and maybe even Linux. The program is completely free.


How to Use Flashpoint and How Flashpoint Works.

What you must do first is download Flashpoint to your PC. The download size will be rather large, and larger once you unpack the program. A lot of the individual games will just take up more space on your drive of choice. So it's best to put these files on an external hard drive or something. It is recommended you download the Infinity version because the download requires much less memory on your device- 790MB for Infinity as opposed to 1.31TB for the Ultimate version.

Flashpoint comes in two versions- Flashpoint Infinity and Flashpoint Ultimate. Infinity is the base program that links you to loads of the aforementioned online games as well as animations. An Internet connection is required to access and download each game you want to download. Ultimate is the entire collection of just about every single Flash game and Flash animation in one mega package with no Internet connection required. Any game and/or animation you download will be available for you to play whether or not you have an online connection. An Internet connection is only required for downloading games/animations or to update the program.

What Flashpoint will do is search for whatever game or games you are looking for. Limiting searches to individual names, developers, or publishers will whittle down this massive database to something more manageable. Any game you find will feature more information about it. Download the given game/animation, and it is yours to play at any time without requiring an online connection. A game/animation you download can be played immediately using Flashpoint along with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player you may have.


Thoughts on Flashpoint.

For one thing, I am pleased to be able to play these games again without needing an Internet browser open! I haven't noticed much in the way of glitches or performance hitches using Flashpoint and Adobe Flash Player. The fact I am accessing pretty much every proper Flash game ever and/or animation is astonishing. This is something casual gamers can certainly get into because the games are not intensive or require a powerful computer to play properly. I would surely recommend Flashpoint if you want to play these older Flash games and other web-browser games and animations.

All credit to BlueMaxima for making this all happen.


For More Information...

For more information about BlueMaxima's Flashpoint and to download it, please visit BlueMaxima's Flashpoint. You can also watch this video for more information about Flashpoint:

That pretty much covers all I need to cover about this program. I hope this helps you out!
