With extreme seasonal swings, Canadians are always in need of high quality and performance oriented windows and doors that can maintain aesthetics and offer maximum energy efficiency, reliability and durability. During winter, it is necessary to keep heat inside so that inhabitants can remain comfortable and peaceful throughout the season. However, their installation may have negative impact if not done properly. Poor installation usually leads to excessive heat loss, thus causing utility bills to go high with sky rocketing speed.
Living with old and inefficient heating systems means that Canada windows and doors Whitby may not perform in the way they are required. The interesting part about installing windows is that they could be more energy efficient when installed from the exterior by at least 20mm or ideally at 75 mm. Most of the homeowners are unaware of this fact but still pride on their services just because they have been working the same way since years. This method results in increased heat flow in the home, which contributes to enhancing physical appearance and addition of traditional styling and depth of shadow.
Another aspect in installing Canada windows and doors Whitby is the type of glass. Total Home Windows and Doors suggests to go for intelligent glass options because traditional glass is poor insulator. New glass options provide better insulation and keep the interior warm during winter while maintain coolness in summer season. Although there are different types of Low-E glasses, homeowners are rest assured to have better heat reflection.
For glazing purposes, it is recommended to install either double or triple glazed options. As a matter of fact, homeowners can add other hardware, like skylights, which increase the demand of insulated glass due to the exposed and larger surface area. Skylights are usually an elegant addition but, homeowners should have to take care of energy efficiency.
Time to Replace Windows and Doors
It's quite difficult to trace problems in Canada windows and doors Whitby due to which, homeowners couldn't make a decision of their replacement. According to the experts, the key should be to know some basic facts about the possible issues that point to installation of new components.
- When there is frost building up on the surface and the components are getting colder day by day, there would be no other option but replacement.
- When Canada windows and doors Whitby become jammed and inhabitants have to deal with difficulty in opening and closing, the suggestion is to get them replaced with new ones.
- Repair would be nothing more than a toll on finances but be sure that there is no guarantee of satisfactory performance.
Benefits of Replacing Windows and Doors
- When it comes to having long term benefits, Total Home suggests to search for energy efficient Canada windows and doors Whitby.
- The components can be customized to fit properly in order to ensure insulation and satisfaction.
- Since new windows and doors are visually appealing, they enhance elegance and beauty to increase resale value.
Now that the benefits of having new Canada windows and doors Whitby are clear, homeowners are rest assured to have satisfaction and peace of mind.

This is part of my adventures in Cambodia. If you are interested in other posts, please click here.
After we headed back on the road with our tuk tuk, we conferred about where to head next. The driver suggested that we could see Bayon and Baphuon temples and still have plenty of time to catch the sunset that evening. We bumped until over the dirt road until we came to Bayon Temple.
In Chinese it is called 四面佛,or "temple of the four faces" which to me makes a lot more sense than "Bayon", but perhaps in Khmer, that is what it means?
Before we headed into the main area we perched on some of the boulder sized pieces of rock casually laid in front of the ruin as if someone was storing them for a new building project.
Upon entering we saw the faces everywhere. The towered over us, looking down with ancient eyes. Once again because we were there at an off time, we were able to wander and climb almost in peace.
Li wanted to catch the right light for photos so we headed into the blaring sunshine and viewed the front of the temple.
It was worth it to see the front with the sun and blue sky. We laughed and explored, snapping photo after photo until we finally saw it all. Almost.
Because there was so much more to see we finally pulled ourselves away and walked to Baphuon temple to continue exploring.
Which face calls to you? Why do you think they put the faces on the temples there? Stay tuned for more adventures in Cambodia.

I once read that the traits most necessary to be a good lawyer were the ones that made it unbearable to be around such a person. For example, questioning the strength of evidence. Lawyers are drilled from day one not to accept as proof anything that cannot be demonstrated in some tangible way. Torts and emotional suffering leap to mind here. Victims of intimidation tactics cannot collect a penny if they simply say they felt very scared. Those victims have to demonstrate a physical manifestation of their fear and suffering, such as inability to sleep or perform tasks they used to perform, or seeking medical or psychiatric treatment, if they expect to get any redress from the law.
That kind of thinking seeps into lawyers' assessments of themselves, but it manifests itself in reverse. My second summer of practicing law, I was sucked into a huge document review project to assess potential environmental liability of some Midwestern utilities. Like any document project, it was ghastly. I cried every single morning driving to work, I hated it so much. Not once, however, did it enter my mind that I might have something else wrong with me. Not until I was seeing my doctor for something else entirely did I confess my daily crying. She looked at me and gently said, "You know that's not normal, right?" Trouble was, I actually didn't.
In some ways, I was right. Your soul does despair when it is sick and starving, and in many ways crying is a pretty rational response to that. It's designed to get your attention. But I ignored that cry, as it were, for attention. It was just the document project. Then it was just the BigLaw firm filled with assholes. Then it was the soulless partner I worked for at the smaller firm. And so on and so on, like the shampoo commercial. Until, several years later, I finally, finally, decided to do something about feeding my soul and fixing the core problem: I wasn't doing my soul's work, or anything close to it.
Since that day in the doctor's office, I've taken anti-depressants off and on. It may well be that in working for two decades for various assholes, on top of growing up in an alcoholic household, I've so damaged my adrenal, fight-and-flight system that my body can no longer balance itself, even when I am engaged in my soul's work. That remains to be seen. But if you need some motivation, some tangible reason to get working on your exit plan, consider whether you want to have cancer, or take anti-depressants the rest of your life, or have some other condition that keeps you tithing to CVS every month.
Kind of makes the worries about money and status seem less important, doesn't it?

True Fiction #6 by Tom Motley
Comic strips! That idea can either terrify me or elate me, depending on who's involved with it. Some of them are formulaic wastes of time (like everything in the paper except Boondocks, at least around here), and some of them at least try to expand the artform, challenging the readers here and there. Luckily this falls into the latter category. And the thing about strips like this is that sometimes the artist will try too hard, leaving a jumbled strip or two as a result, but as long as they keep pushing the boundaries and trying to come up with new things, it's worth the trip for me. This is a book of strips of varying shapes and sizes, and I came out of it generally liking the whole thing. Individual strips might not have done it for me (like the silly Green Arrow strip), but overall this is worth a look. Topics include Hector on the Farm (which has more silly genital jokes on one page than I had previously thought possible, when I thought of it at all), backwards aliens, sneezing, dreaming, nudity, a butt on the loose, a devil dog, heaven and hell, an ethnically diverse buffet, quadriplegics, dumb food jokes, and the future.

That's right folks, I am going back to school. Full time school at that! I will be leaving Chase in middle of August, as my current position requires an abundant amount of traveling which I would not be able to handle with schooling. I will be pursuing my Masters in Statistics, the same degree that Jen P has, and will take me two years to complete. I will be required to get an internship in the summer of 2003 with a company somewhere. Hopefully, I can get on at TVA here in Knoxville, that would make it very convenient.
Last week was pretty hectic, as I was in Oklahoma City and Cincinnati. While in OKC I stopped by the memorial there for the bombing back in 1995. It was very moving, I would recommend that if you are in the area, to stop by. I was only able to go for about 20 minutes, but I am really glad that I did. I wish I had had a camera. Cincinnati was easy, the work part last for a good 4 hours and then I was out of there!

The doctrine of Divine providence, and the first and second cause of Gods decree, by James Renihan
In this teaching, James Renihan gives excellent teaching from the 1689 Confession on the doctrine of Divine providence, the first cause and second cause of God's Decree; and His means of accomplishing this. Though Renihan did not mention this. In the last two years, two significant events unfolded that revealed the poor health of Christendom.

Things don't seem to be going well in very many places of the Lightning organization lately, and that includes in Syracuse. The Crunch have lost four in a row (one in the shootout last weekend) and, despite putting up a season-high 43 shots on goal Saturday, are struggling to find answers.
It would be easy to blame the absence of J.T. Brown, who is still on recall with Tampa. It would be simple to talk about the injuries that are occurring at both levels (four Crunch players missing Saturday's contest with various ailments.) It would also be logical that Syracuse's struggles are linked to a combination of both of those things.
Unfortunately, the main problem is that none of those things can be solved easily or quickly. They're problems that are going to linger and keep occurring, and it has to be up to the vets and the coaching staff to guide the team to a place where they are figuring it out. The fans in Syracuse just hope that happens soon.
In two weeks the Crunch have slipped from second place in the Eastern Conference to seventh. It's early still, and it's better for this to happen now than in March. But it's still frustrating for both the players and the fans.
Saturday night on the Shootout Show, defenseman J.P. Cote spoke to the mentality of the guys in the dressing room. He admitted that the team is tense, and that it would be good for the group to take a step back from everything and breathe a little bit. He said that a key to getting the Crunch back on track is to go back to approaching games like the winning team they are.
Cote also had the following to say about negative emotions and how much of a necessity it is for the Crunch to avoid them:
As soon as you start to get angry, that's when things start going down hill. You don't want to come to the rink. We have to find a way to rally.
Cote was then asked about the coaching staff and how much confidence the team has in them. Cote said that head coach Rob Zettler knows the game, has played it, and that "any of the guys in the dressing room would go through a wall for him." He mentioned how impressed he's been with assistant coach Trent Cull, and shared that Crunch goaltender Cedrick Desjardins told Cote that goalie/video coach David Alexander is among the best Desjardins has ever had. It was made very clear that any fans looking to scapegoat the coaching staff are probably going to have to look elsewhere.
The Crunch have a busy holiday week ahead of them. The US celebrates Thanksgiving this week, but the Blue Machine, as they've dubbed themselves, won't have too much time to enjoy turkey. Syracuse plays in Binghamton Wednesday, at home Friday and then heads over to Glens Falls, New York, to face the Adirondack Phantoms for the first time this season.
Latest Stats for the Syracuse Crunch:
Regular season record (wins-losses-OT losses-SO losses): 9-6-1-1
Place in the conference standings (top 8 make the playoffs): Seventh
Place in division standings: Fourth
Top scorer: Nikita Kucherov, 13-11-24
Top scoring defenseman: Matt Taormina 2-8-10
Top defenseman, +/-: Dmitry Korobov, +7
Top rookie: Nikita Kucherov, 13-11-24
Home Game attendance:11/25: 4,967
Other Syracuse Crunch Player notes/transactions:
-Brett Connolly returned to the Syracuse Crunch lineup Saturday after playing 10 games with the Tampa Bay Lighting. When asked about what's going on with Connolly, Cote admitted that his teammate doesn't seem as confident in himself, but that all he really needs is an opportunity to get himself going again.
-J.P. Cote's six-point streak was snapped Saturday night
-Dmitry Korobov was returned to the Crunch this past week
-Matt Taormina and Nikita Nesterov both returned to the Crunch's line up this past weekend after missing several games with injuries
-Philippe Paradis, Joey Mormina, Evan Rankin, and Vladdy Namestnikov all missed Saturday's contest after suffering injuries Friday night at Hamilton. Namestnikov will be missing several weeks with a broken hand.
-The Crunch's penalty kill allowed three goals Saturday night, while the power play was 0/6.
-Defenseman Jordan Henry was released from his PTO this past week.

Optimized titles will not only tell the shoppers about your product, but you will also be able to capitalize on high-ranking keywords.
Pile on the Feedback
An Amazon FBA seller should never hesitate to follow up with the customer to seek feedback. Most of the buyers prefer the reviews of customers who have already purchased and used the item. They will make the ultimate choice between two identical and same priced products based on customers' reviews.
If a product has 40 reviews with a 4.8 stars overall rating, and the same product from a different seller has 15 reviews with an overall 4.2 stars rating, you will buy the item with better reviews.
Stand Out From the Competition
You need to find your competitive advantage or differentiator. Look for customers' pain points and how other competitors bring forth their offerings to prospects. Your photos and copy should all push the buyers to make the purchase.
If you are operating an Amazon FBA business, the easiest way to stand out from our competitors is by analyzing the product reviews.
- What are the top 3 reasons that their customers love their product?
- What the customers love the most about these products?
- What are the topmost reasons for which customers don't like the products?

Amazon FBA for beginners can be daunting, and content marketing can help them make the difference. Even a simple WordPress website with different pages containing 2,000 to 4,000 words on niche-related topics can do the job for an Amazon FBA seller.
It also allows an Amazon FBA seller to introduce the products to new consumers while educating them about their uses and pros and cons.
Your website can attract a large audience to your Amazon listing, and if you are using Amazon's affiliate links, you can also earn a commission on each sale.

If you choose to sell on different platforms, then you should consider syncing your inventory to free yourself up from the hassles of managing inventory on different platforms. Besides, you will be able to keep track of available inventory, calculate Amazon FBA fees, and update the changes seamlessly. Besides, you won't need to go through the same process for different platforms. Check out the Best Amazon FBA courses 2021.

All you have to do is follow some basic guidelines to launch yourself into the business avenue.
- Shoot with natural light as shooting closer to a window will give soft light with soft shadow.
- Set the white balance of your camera to auto, and don't use flash.
- Avoid shakes; setting up the device on a tripod stand might be of great help.
- Use a neutral or white backdrop.
- Shoot the product from the best angles.
Follow Amazon's Rules

Setting and forgetting your rules that streamline Amazon's terms of services, you will rest assured of not getting your account suspended. Research for the competition, set up marketing campaigns, use high ranking keywords, and regularly touch up product listings.

Hire a Private Chef in OBX and Enjoy True Gourmet Meals
How many "gourmet" restaurants serve up only moderate quality food? How much time do you sacrifice in your vacation by waiting for those not-so-great meals? How much time and money do you spend at the grocery store, only to come away without the freshest ingredients? It's a struggle, and one that you don't have to deal with during your vacation.
Hiring a personal chef in OBX ensures that you have fresh, delicious, gourmet food during your stay here in the Outer Banks.
Cooked Your Way, in Your Vacation Home
There are plenty of benefits to hiring a private chef in OBX during your stay, but two of the most important to understand are that your chef will cook meals the way you want them, and they'll do so right in your vacation home. True meal customization isn't possible in the traditional restaurant setting. It's difficult to get things exactly the way you like them, and if you have specific dietary restrictions, you know firsthand how hard it can be to locate meals that fit your needs in the foodservice industry.
With a personal chef in OBX, you get exactly the meals that you and your family love. You'll get more of the things you enjoy, and none of those you don't. If you have special dietary requirements, your chef creates meals to fit those exactly, without any fuss or hassle.
You also don't have to spend hours waiting for a table, waiting for your order to be taken, waiting for your meal to be served and then waiting for the check to come so you can drive all the way back to your vacation rental. You get gourmet meals cooked right in your own kitchen. Eat at the dining room table, or take your meal out on the deck and enjoy the amazing weather and the views of the ocean.
Wrapping Up

there is a lot of shame and suffering associated with the belief that you are the only one.
i'm the only one who is lonely.
i'm the only one who resents her husband.
i'm the only one so bitter she can't even make a phone call.
i'm the only one this depressed.
i'm the only one going nowhere in her career.
add in a little...
everyone else is happy.
everyone else is sure of herself.
everyone else sits inside her perfect house smiling at her husband and children feeling content and fulfilled.
what a mess.
transitions are always tough (even good stress is stress), but transitions accompanied with excessively negative and faulty thinking are even worse. and i'm guessing i'm not the only one who has made these mistakes.
******let me put those of you who worry excessively about me (especially when you read my blog postings) at ease. i have changed my ways. i've seen the light. you can put down the phone and finish reading. no need to frantically check in. let's talk soon, but go ahead and get to the end. i'm fine. i swear.*******
so here's the story:
it seems crazy now, but once upon a time i left my job and moved to a land far far away to start a new chapter with my husband, child, and dog. and somewhere between athens and this far off land, i lost my mind and developed the idea that as a stay at home mother and wife my husband must now be my boss.
oh dear god. has anyone else made that mistake?
talk about wrecking your life and marriage with one single thought. bitter, resentful, insecure, ashamed, scared. and these words are only the beginning.
you don't like this meal? = i'm a failure. our baby isn't on a good schedule? = i'm a failure. your gym shorts aren't clean? = i'm a failure. i hate taking the baby to the pool. = failure. fail. fail. fail.
and then one day it wasn't so bad. and then the next day it was a little better. and then i realized that i'm the boss and now life is grand.
jesse can't be my boss. he's my husband and my partner. david can't be the boss. he's a baby and a tyrant and i already had a job working for a baby and a tyrant once and she fired me, so you can see that was no good. and sadie is a sad sack and a sad sack is in no position to be a boss. plus, she's a dog.
so i'm the boss. this works very well. i'm a good boss for me. i give myself lots of positive feedback. i'm very competitive, so i have to give myself challenges and good, constructive feedback. and when i deserve it, i try to make sure i give myself praise: i'm really tip top, a great hire, keep it up, that sort of stuff.
our cars aren't generally clean. our lawn gets mowed sometimes. our laundry doesn't get aired anywhere (but jesse's working on that, but just for clean diapers). we aren't exactly like all our neighbors, but my guess is that they aren't exactly the way i imagine them either.
just because they don't have laundry lines hung in the yard to sun bleach the poop stains from their baby's cloth diapers doesn't mean their babies doen't poop. to imagine it any other way is just silly.
|this is not a boss i can take seriously.
|i'm not working for you.
and in the spirit of "the only one," you don't want to miss this....
(good work me. thanks boss.)

The Audew Air Fryer: A Review
Chris describes and reviews books, music, merchandise, even laws as a result of personal experience.
Deciding which brand of air fryer to purchase can be a little intimidating. I Googled "Amazon air fryers" and got a list of 29 units ranging from $30 to $390. How does a person know which ones will do what we all hear air fryers can do? We read the reviews, right? That's why you came here.
I'm going to share with you the following information about the Audew 12-liter, 1700-watt air fryer, along with some of my experiences using the unit.
- How an air fryer cooks food
- Specs compared to a few other popular units
- Benefits of using an Audew air fryer
- What comes in the box
- How to use the parts and accessories
- What I like about the unit
- What I do not like about the unit
How an Air Fryer Cooks Food
The air fryer is really the next generation of convection ovens. Both use hot air that is circulated by a fan to cook food faster and more evenly than a conventional oven. The air fryer just does it more efficiently and is designed to provide a crispy fried texture with little or no oil.
Product Specification Comparisons
- Size: The air fryers I looked at varied in size from about 3–30 liters. The Audew unit is 12 liters. It is important that you purchase the size that fits your needs. I have cooked for five people and I've prepared meals for just me. The Audew can handle that range very well. Just be aware that the more food you cram into the fryer, the longer it will take to cook.
- Power: The large, 28–30 liter fryers require 1800 watts. Those units are 2.5 times larger than the Audew unit that requires 1700 watts. That's a lot of power for a smaller area. The Emeril Lagasse brand is 3 liters larger than the Audew unit but takes 200 fewer watts. If the size is right, the Audew 12-liter, 1700-watt air fryer is a powerful choice.
- Digital presets: The Audew unit has eight preset buttons which makes the process of cooking so much easier. You won't even have to look up a recipe for the cooking time.
Benefits of Cooking With an Audew Air Fryer:
Time: I recently air-fried a 5-pound chicken in 45 minutes. In a conventional oven, it would have taken about an hour and a half. Check the internal temperature of the chicken to be sure it reaches 165°F.
Four potatoes will take 50–60 minutes in the oven. In the Audew air fryer, they should be out in 30–40 minutes. Let me make a comment here about potatoes in the air fryer. They are great. The skins are crisp and brown, and the inside is fluffy without being dry. These are better than baking them in the oven or the microwave.
Less oil or no oil at all: It's up to you. Olive oil contains 120 calories per tablespoon. Here is a good way to cut back on a few calories.
What's in the Box?
- 1 air fryer
- 1 rotisserie basket
- 1 rotisserie spit
- 2 rotisserie spit forks
- 1 stand for rotisserie spit and meat
- 10 skewers
- 1 set of skewer rotisserie racks
- 1 fetch tool for rotisserie accessories
- 1 roasting rack
- 1 drip tray
- 1 oven mit
- 1 cookbook
- 1 instruction manual
Rotisserie Basket and Spit Attachment Instructions
Tips for Using the Audew Air Fryer and Cooking Accessories.
- The thumbnail photos immediately above describe how to use the rotisserie accessories. Instructions are included with the photos.
- The round black base for the spit and basket is a great tool. It gives you someplace to put the basket, the spit and meat, and the skewer rack when you take them out of the fryer.
- I talked to one person who doesn't want to mess with the rotisserie forks. Those are the two sharp forks that fit onto the spit and hold your chicken/meat in place. She just puts the meat on the roasting rack. I really like the rotisserie part of this fryer, so I take a few minutes to put the forks on too.
- Do not overfill the rotisserie basket with anything. The hot air has to circulate between the individual pieces. If it is packed too tight, it won't cook well. Plus, packing it full adds cooking time. You are better off running it twice.
- When roasting a whole chicken, get the string for tying the legs together. The feet might snag on the drip tray if the hen is too large.
- If you choose to use oil, I recommend avocado oil because it has the highest burning temperature of all cooking oils. The air fryer temperature tops out at 400°F, but the avocado oil has a burn point of 500°F.
What I Like About the Audew Air Fryer
- The appearance. It is just a nice looking appliance for your kitchen. You may want to keep it out all the time on the countertop.
- I love the rotisserie component and accessories.
- The fetch tool is such a simple thing, but it makes the job of putting the rotisserie accessories in and taking them out so easy.
- The food tastes great. Here are some of my favorites: Whole chicken, of course, chicken legs, baked potatoes, potato wedges, Pork chops, onion wedges, and more I can't remember.
- Easy to use. The presets are very helpful.
What I Do Not Like About the Audew Air Fryer
- Cleaning the rotisserie basket was difficult at first. Warning, don't use a sponge. The steel mesh acts like a cheese grater on the sponge. Need I say more? Get a hard bristled brush, and you will be much happier. Use the brush on the roasting rack as well.
- The hinges of the door are at the bottom of the unit. (See photo above) Food falls into those spaces. The door does come off easily. Just open it slightly, then pull up. It will come right off. It is difficult to get all the food out, but it's not impossible.
- I was disappointed in the blooming onion I tried to make. I read some recipes where people said it was amazing. Others were like me. It didn't work. It may be the operator. But I was after the onions, not the blooming part, so I just cut the onion up, dipped them in the specified ingredients, and roasted them on the roasting rack. They were very good.
My Recommendation
The Audew air fryer is an amazing appliance that gives you many options for meal preparation, saves time, and eliminates the calories from oil if you choose to go oil-free. It is fun to experiment with different recipes that will impress your family with how quickly you whipped up that roasted chicken dinner.
Based on my use of this product, I highly recommend it to anyone who is searching the market for an air fryer.

Theresa, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Audew air fryer. I agree. It is the best one available.
Theresa Cunningham on August 02, 2020:
We have had the Audew for 8 months and my husband and I love it. I have roasted a 6lb whole
chicken tied up and stuffed with lemons and onions. You have to watch the tray for liquids but it was the most tender chicken we've ever had. Much better than 2-3 hours to oven roast one. Also have cooked roasted veggies, burgers, sausage dogs, small southern mac and cheese in a temptations dish. Chocolate cake, roasted tomatoes, bagel pizzas, fluffy eggs. It is the best one we have ever owned.
Chris Mills (author) from Traverse City, MI on November 21, 2019:
Shauna, I don't think you will be disappointed. It is not a miracle machine, but it definitely has its place in the kitchen. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
Shauna L Bowling from Central Florida on November 21, 2019:
Great review, Chris. Using the air fryer would eliminated the kitchen getting hot as when you use the conventional oven. I love that it does a better job of baking potatoes. Gotta have that crispy skin!
Chris Mills (author) from Traverse City, MI on November 18, 2019:
Hi Ruby...link provided. hahaha, Thanks for stopping by.
Ruby Jean Richert from Southern Illinois on November 18, 2019:
I certainly would buy this air-fryer. Great review!
Chris Mills (author) from Traverse City, MI on November 17, 2019:
Nikki, you are right about how it cooks chicken and potatoes. It also roasts vegetables and dries fruit. Thanks for reading.
Nikki Khan from London on November 17, 2019:
I have seen it on Amazon Chris, would give it a go. This is quite healthy way of roasting chicken or potatoes. Thanks for reviewing it.
Chris Mills (author) from Traverse City, MI on November 17, 2019:
Liz, thank you for that feedback. There are so many choices these days for everything. We should just start trading stuff around after we've used it for a while.
Chris Mills (author) from Traverse City, MI on November 17, 2019:
Pamela, I have heard about the insta-pot. People how own them really like them. I travel for my work. I already have too much of a kitchen that I drag around. I'll stick with my air fryer for now.
Liz Westwood from UK on November 17, 2019:
This is a very thorough and useful review. It contains all the information any potential buyer might need and it has opened my eyes to a product that I was unaware of.
Pamela Oglesby from Sunny Florida on November 17, 2019:
I haven't been too interested in getting an air fryer, but you article sure gives an excellent review. I got an InstaPot earlier this year and I like it. I have to decide if I want another appliance on my counter.
I think the Audew Air Fryer sounds like a great appliance to cook food a bit differently and I may have to rethink my objections.
Chris Mills (author) from Traverse City, MI on November 17, 2019:
Eric, I'm doing rotisserie chicken tonight. Now get off your ass and make dinner.
Chris Mills (author) from Traverse City, MI on November 17, 2019:
Manatita, Electronics? I still remember Atari video ping pong....and the abacus.
Eric Dierker from Spring Valley, CA. U.S.A. on November 17, 2019:
I am pulling mine out. So much healthier. Thank you for getting me off my ass.
manatita44 from london on November 17, 2019:
Good to know, Bro. We are moving fast with electronics! I saw a car recently, which, with the touch of a remote, parks itself. Ha ha. True, Bro. Have a nice Sunday.
Chris Mills (author) from Traverse City, MI on November 17, 2019:
Manatita, it operates by circulating the hot air constantly in a confined space. That is the difference between the air fryer and a normal oven. It cooks things much faster. Yes, it is great for preparing vegetables. You can use it to dry fruit. I saw an air fried tofu recipe. Thanks for reading.
manatita44 from london on November 17, 2019:
Bro, I didn't even know what this was! Certainly never heard of it! It looks like a very cute version of a microwave.
Glad you like it and your article is certainly informative. Can it be used by vegetarians?

KBounce (Ball Bouncing Game) is a puzzle arcade game developed by KDE. The game is a variation of the ball bouncer game included as part of the kdegames or KDE Games package. The game is played on a field filled with bouncing balls. The field is surrounded by one layer of brick. The goal of the player is build more walls and fill the field with more bricks, without the cursor touching any of the bouncing balls. The moment the cursor touches any of the balls, one life is consumed. The player has 5 lives at the beginning of the game. Controlling the cursor is done using the mouse. The ultimate goal is to restrict the movement of the balls by building new walls and decreasing the area of the active field, within the time provided. However, users need not enclose all of the balls in just one active field. The balls may scattered across the field, enclosed in other walls of bricks.
KBounce (Ball Bouncing Game) features grey and brown user interface. The menu bar features three options—Game, Settings, and Help. Function buttons include the New and Pause buttons. The status bar displays the current level, the current score, and the percentage of the remaining active field. The number of remaining lives, as well as remaining time is likewise displayed in the status bar.

Mixing with Celebrities and Keeping the Story Intact!
So, it goes like this . . .
Well… I have to tell you that life goes on.
A huge epiphany, I know.
Deal with it.
You know, the more you know, the more you learn, then more it can potentially put a stranglehold on your creativity.
I am not saying that I am learning or have learned too much… aahhh contraire! (I really don't know if I spelled that right… nor am I losing sleep over it.)
I am just saying that they mind can get cloudy with all of these revelations.
So… back to the basics, I am thrilled to report.
Not only am I completing the new book (Humor/Comedy/Suspense), I am also half way through my new SCREENPLAY… a Farrelly Brothers (Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber, etc.) type fiasco which I am sure will really hit!
Soooooo digging all of this… I will keep you informed.
Meanwhile, next weekend I will be mixing with Glenn Morshower (aka Agent Aaron Pierce from "24") and Rock Star Eddie Money ("Two Tickets To Paradise," "Baby Hold On," "Think I'm In Love," and "Take A Little Bit").
I will let you know if any other notables catch my eye… or if I catch theirs… 😉
In the meantime…
It's time for writing… and fun!

Ohio EPA is offering communities financial assistance through the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) to help low- to moderate-income homeowners repair and replace failing home sewage treatment systems (HSTS).
It is estimated that about 31 percent of all household sewage treatment systems throughout Ohio are experiencing some degree of failure due to poor maintenance or age. When failing systems discharge untreated sewage, potential exposure to harmful bacteria and pathogens can cause public health concerns and threaten the environment.
Health departments in 70 counties and two cities applied for up to a maximum of $200,000 each to distribute the funds under the HSTS program. Since the program was initiated in 2016, more than $12.5 million has been disbursed, which funded 975 soil evaluations or designs and the repair or replacement of an estimated 1,200 systems.
Depending on the household income and the number of residents, homeowners may qualify for 50 to 100 percent of the total costs for HSTS repair or replacement. From January through June 2018, more than $3.6 million has been awarded to health districts and departments in the northwest Ohio.
The Fulton County Health Department was among those receiving principal forgiveness loans, being awarded $170,000.
Ohio EPA's state revolving fund (SRF) loans are provided to communities to build and upgrade wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, upgrade home sewage treatment systems, better manage storm water, address combined sewer overflows and implement other water quality-related projects. Financial assistance helps support planning, design and construction activities and enhances the technical, managerial and financial capacity of these systems. WPCLF loans also make possible the restoration and protection of some of Ohio's highest quality water bodies through the fund's Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program.
Ohio's loan programs are partially supported by annual federal capitalization grants and have grown substantially over time because of the revolving nature of the loan issuance and payments back into the fund. The SRF programs are managed by Ohio EPA's Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance, with assistance from the Ohio Water Development Authority. Ohio EPA is responsible for program development and implementation, individual project coordination, and environmental and other technical reviews/approvals of projects seeking funds. The Ohio Water Development Authority provides financial management of the SRF funds.
More information about the WPCLF is available at: epa.ohio.gov/defa/EnvironmentalandFinancialAssistance.aspx.

Former county executive Tim Grippen elected Democratic party chair
The Broome County Democratic Committee elected former Broome County Executive Tim Grippen as its president Tuesday evening, roughly a month after former President James Testani announced he would leave before the end of his term.
Grippen served two terms, from 1989 to 1996, as Broome County Executive, and worked for the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development after. In 2000, he became executive director of Opportunities for Broome — a community organization aimed at helping low-income residents — and in 2009, he became regional administrator of the New York State Department of Labor before retiring.
He has been a member of the New York State Democratic Committee for roughly 20 years, he said.
Grippen comes into the position at a difficult time for county and city Democrats. Though Democrat Jason Garnar now holds the top seat of county government, he faces a veto-proof Republican legislature with which he's already clashed.
The city, which had an entirely Democratic city council as recently as 2011, now has a 5-2 Republican majority.
Grippen will face a major race his first year as chair — Republican Mayor Richard David's term ends December of this year, and a change in mayoral party would significantly shift the city's balance of power.
Asked Wednesday about how he plans to tip both the county and city Democratic, Grippen referenced his years of experience.
"When I won my first election for county executive, we won the majority on the county legislature, so I have some ideas about how to do that," Grippen said. "I think the people elected Jason (Garnar) because they want change, and I think if the legislature isn't willing to at least meet him halfway, that would put them in a rather bad position."
Broome County Democratic chairman to resign
Testani's term was scheduled to end in September, but he announced his resignation in December, saying he wanted the next chair to have "continuity" throughout the campaign and election process.

Well, I have to start with a spoiler... Angel has a big, beautiful hole that she can stretch wide, and the cunt closeups she gives are stunning...
Angel enters the scene in a lacy gray sheathe dress, but you can tell she's not wearing anything underneath it. Her big natural breasts sway, and there is a quick teasing flash when she sits that tells us that there are no panties, either. But clothed teasing is not Angel's style, so he breasts are quickly unlimbered, and the dress goes away entirely as she pulls out a large red dildo. There is some nice doggy probing, so you can see her tits hanging down and see just how deliciously smooth her pussy lips are, and a nice mini-gape from behind. Then its on to her back in a delightful wide-open 'M' pose. In both angles, the dildo does not seem to meet much resistance -- a promise of the chasm-to-come.
And Angel delivers on that promise. Angel gets rid of the dildo, and gives us some serious reach-around thumb-stretches. She's not afraid to work it, either, she pulls hard and stretches her vagina wide. There's nothing quite like a woman smiling sweetly while opening her pussy for us. There's a little more dildo work, and then Angel takes off her shoes, settles into a seated spread squat, reaches around, wriggles her four fingers in, and...
Oh wow.
Tits, smile, and what a beautiful wide-open cunt. It gets better as our cameraman gets closer, because now it is five and six fingers. And the camera gets as close as you please, and its wall-to-wall vagina, all ripples and folds, and Angel is not afraid to really stretch it wide. Then she switches to doggy, and yes... you can see her cervix hidden in that pink wetness :-)

Intelligent and Autonomous Systems
Studying generic and fundamental mechanisms that enable the emergence of various degrees of organization, intelligence and autonomy in complex systems, and apply them to concrete problems of societal relevance.
IAS: Learning, planning and resource allocation for intelligent, strategic agents
Research Objectives
Combining expertise from both mathematics (e.g. stochastics, game theory, operation research) and computer science (artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computation), IAS researchers conduct research in:
- Data-efficient, robust, transferable and explainable learning, planning and resource allocation in multi-agent systems.
More information and research projects
- Multi-Agent Systems and Human-AI collectives (HAIC): investigating strategic and emergent behavior in multi-agents systems or collectives comprising both humans and AI agents, involving research topics ranging from negotiation and opponent modeling, to auction bidding, mechanism design and collective decision making.
More information and research projects
- Explainable and Responsible AI
More information and research projects
- Fundamental problems inspired by applications to energy systems, logistics, negotiations, and games as general models of strategic interactions.
More information and research projects
Research: Motivation and Context
Increasingly, our social and technological world is organised around complex systems. These are dynamic networks of interacting nodes (or agents) that continuously exchange digital or physical resources, including data or information, energy, materials and products. The agents in these systems face real challenges, as they often only have access to partial and noisy information and need to operate in a constantly changing and uncertain environment. As a consequence, there is an unrelenting pressure to improve the network's overall performance and resilience by making the individual nodes more intelligent and autonomous.
In our research group, we study generic and fundamental mechanisms that enable the emergence of various degrees of organization, intelligence and autonomy in such systems, and apply them to concrete problems of societal relevance.
Opportunities and Community Building
- Seminars For more information on our seminars, visit the seminar webpage.
- Internships We invite talented Master's and PhD candidates to have a look at our internships.
- Supporting the AI community We strongly believe that successful research is a community effort to which we want to contribute:

ANDREA GALVANI The End
New YorkArt In General
The End
May 16 – June 27, 2015
Andrea Galvani's seven-channel video installation, The End, occupies the sixth floor gallery of Art in General. Projected onto walls and vertical plinths, seven synchronized video loops show the sun—rising from the sea and disappearing into the sky—as a set of glimmering orbs oozing upward like vapor, all wavy edges and soft pixilation. All seven suns are visible from a single vantage point, rising in unison. Shot with 16mm film and transferred to HD, the videos produce a haze of variegated pinks, oranges, and violets. It's gorgeous and, given the subject matter, impressively unsentimental or kitsch.
The piece was commissioned by Art in General, and to produce it Galvani enlisted cameramen positioned in five different countries along the east coast of Central America to film concurrently on the anniversary of Galileo's death. The press release explains that "The End is an homage to the heliocentric model of our solar system championed by Galileo Galilei," at a time when geocentricism was incontestable fact. Indeed, this installation may be read as an immersive peaen to the courage of one man, but it also suggests that the certainty of all truths is perpetually shifting between proof and belief.
A kind of fabulist narrativity pervades Galvani's body of work which, otherwise speaks in a precise, geometric lexicon. Perhaps the most concise illustration of how the artist constructs complex narratives to express the limits of sound and light is A Cube, A Sphere, and a Pyramid (2012), in which said forms are introduced to bats, which emit an echo-drawing as they fly around these forms, which is then transcribed into an audible track and also presented as a line drawing. Form becomes sound and the invisible becomes audible. In The End, the hierarchies of light and sound have been called to reckoning, presented as a show that exists in various forms, both as live sonic performance and optical experience.
During the opening reception and several times over the course of the exhibition, the installation's structural elements become a stage for performers, who sit or stand atop constructed walls and pedestals vocalizing sound. When this happens the gallery becomes a chamber of voices, and one's pulse quickens in vascular response; thoughts vanish, as in a state of meditation or prayer. Cathedral voices, pre-lingual clucks, spiritual chants—liturgical sounds performed with the first human instrument, the voice. The paradox of working with the human voice, as Meredith Monk pointed out, is that it is universal and yet "each throat is totally unique. There is a universe to explore in each of our voices."Galvani harnessed the combined vocal idiosyncrasies of seven performers, each versed in a unique tradition, each "throat" quoting Glass or Puccini in sounds reminiscent of pre-orchestral tuning. Their collective vocal exercises provide contrapunto to the videos. While the sunrises unfold at a hyper-real speed, the live voice marks the undeniable present.
Positioning the viewer before these various horizons, the installation maintains a rubric of looking as a communal simultaneous event. But it is less conversant with virtual technologies of social media than it is with the Renaissance notion of plural perspectives. Staged on this highly contrived architectural set is a cinematic experience, and it's within the rhetoric of cinema that we might interpret the show's title, The End, as a cri de cour against the current narrative of the dawn of time, by exclusion of that final frame of a film, existing instead as endlessly looped narrative. Despite being launched and closed by live vocal performances, this exhibition destabilizes the presumption that artwork begins or ends in a single medium, offering instead a model of perpetual motion between light and sound.

Virtual Views: Video LivesBy Madeleine Seidel
JUL-AUG 2020 | ArtSeen
The selection of video art included here explores our digitally-driven moment by highlighting the fact that privacy and leisure are privileges not often extended to women, queer people, and people of color. Even though the exhibition is framed as an exploration of intimacy and technology, intimacy is not often afforded to these artists, whose emotional labor and identities are still contested within the domestic sphere.

On Tuesday, attorneys representing city unions, retirees and creditors argued in bankruptcy court that Detroit's bankruptcy violated Michigan's constitution. They argued that ceding control of the city's finance to the federal government, through bankruptcy, was unconstitutional. On Wednesday, they argued the legality surrounding the appointment of the emergency manager for Detroit – – the state Legislature and the Governor to enacted a law permitting the appointment even after a failed attempt to pass it by public referendum. Even the bankruptcy judge questioned this reasoning.
