Enterprises can achieve rigorous IT security as well as improved DevOps practices and Cloud economics by taking a new, cloud-native approach to application delivery. Because the attack surface for cloud applications is dramatically different than for highly controlled data centers, a disciplined and multi-layered approach that spans all of your processes, staff, vendors and technologies is required. This may sound expensive and time consuming to achieve as you plan how to move selected applications to the cloud, but smart organizations are actually reporting an improved security posture, accel...

Culture is the most important ingredient of DevOps. The challenge for most organizations is defining and communicating a vision of beneficial DevOps culture for their organizations, and then facilitating the changes needed to achieve that. Often this comes down to an ability to provide true leadership. As a CIO, are your direct reports IT managers or are they IT leaders? The hard truth is that many IT managers have risen through the ranks based on their technical skills, not their leadership ability. Many are unable to effectively engage and inspire, creating forward momentum in the direction...

In today's digital world, change is the one constant. Disruptive innovations like cloud, mobility, social media, and the Internet of Things have reshaped the market and set new standards in customer expectations. To remain competitive, businesses must tap the potential of emerging technologies and markets through the rapid release of new products and services. However, the rigid and siloed structures of traditional IT platforms and processes are slowing them down – resulting in lengthy delivery cycles and a poor customer experience.

Skeuomorphism usually means retaining existing design cues in something new that doesn't actually need them. However, the concept of skeuomorphism can be thought of as relating more broadly to applying existing patterns to new technologies that, in fact, cry out for new approaches. In his session at DevOps Summit, Gordon Haff, Senior Cloud Strategy Marketing and Evangelism Manager at Red Hat, discussed why containers should be paired with new architectural practices such as microservices rather than mimicking legacy server virtualization workflows and architectures.

1/4 cup
soy sauce
3 tablespoons
dry white wine
2 tablespoons
lemon juice
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon
dried Italian-style seasoning
1 teaspoon
grated fresh ginger root
1 clove
garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon
onion powder
1 pinch
ground black pepper
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
I have GOT to remember this recipe! Surprisingly, astoundingly delicious, one of the better pieces of chicken I've ever had. With Hubs out of town I wanted something simple but special for supper and this appeared to be what I had in mind. I wasn't about to fire up the grill however. I removed the chicken breasts from the marinade, put them in a shallow pan and drizzled them with melted butter and a few good shakes of salt and pepper. I baked them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, then sprinkled them with paprika and finished them off under the broiler for a couple of minutes to give them an attractive golden-brown color. I let them rest for a few minutes and in the meantime prepared a bed of baby spinach and arugula, sliced avocado and grape tomatoes. I drizzled them with a light lemon Dijon vinaigrette, then laid the sliced chicken over the bed of greens. For added measure I then poured over some of the wonderful juices that had accumulated in the pan. Moist, tender, juicy and with outstanding flavor. I was incrediby impressed that this seemingly unremarkable marinade would prove to be so spectacular. I did use olive oil rather than vegetable oil and skipped the ginger as it doesn't move me - these were small changes that nevertheless were necessary for me and suited my tastes perfectly. This chicken was so good I can't imagine it suffered at all from being baked and not grilled, and because it turned out SO good I know I'll probably prepare them the same way next time.
This was pretty good. I marinated skinless, boneless chicken breasts over night. I don't have a barbecue so I baked them in a glass dish, in the marinade, at 425 degrees for 30 min. My chicken was a tad dry. I probably should have baked 5-10 min. less. I think this would've tasted better if I'd had a barbecue to use. The recipe does not make much marinade and I barely had enough to cover 2 chicken breasts. The lemon flavor really came through. I'll make this again.

This marinade has a really delicious herb flavor. I pounded 4 boneless chicken breasts down to 1/2 inch thick. I used low sodium soy, olive oil instead of vegetable and powedered ginger. I let this marinate all day. I thought it would have an oriental flair, but it had more of an italian herb flavor that was wonderful and looked great on the plate!
I found this recipe about 3 years ago and have used it to feed my family as well as a 50 person BBQ. I have used it with kabobs and breasts. I use olive oil instead of the suggested vegetable oil but if you stick with the main ingredients you will be fine. MOST IMPORTANT is the longer you marinade the better!!! I prefer it to be overnight so the flavor is full and completely through the meat. you can also do with fish just don't marinade longer than 4 hours as the acids in the soy and lemon will begin to cook the fish.
Excellent marinade! I made kabobs with chicken tenders, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and sliced corn cobs. I marinated for about 4 hours and then basted on the grill. I could see using this marinade for lots of things...Great recipe!
BEST ever! I have made this a few times now, and it is always requested when we have cook-outs. You do have to watch the soy sauce though, for salt content. You certainly don't want to add more salt to the recipe. Totally yummy!
My famly loved this recipe there were no left overs. I let it marinate over night, was very tender, juicy and lots of flavor. Will defintly make again!!
HOLY MOLY!! My family loves chicken, but I've been running out of new ideas of how to make it. We planned a BBQ this past weekend and I tried this since it got such great reviews and WOW!! Everyone loved it! I was hoping there would be leftovers so I could munch on it myself for the next few days, but no way. Everyone gobbled it up like they haven't eaten for months! Guess I'll have to make another batch! Thanks for the great recipe.

Step 1: How to Obtain and Extract Americium
You can use it, in large quantities, to make a neutron source with a sheet of aluminium. The alpha radiation collides the the Al atoms and kicks off neutrons which you can collimate using a lead box with a hole drilled through it. However, you need 1000+ smoke detectors to get that much. And really there's no reason you should be making neutron sources in your home, but making a neutron diffractometer could be quite interesting though.
It's worth pointing out that you should wash your hands after handling the metal and make sure that you should keep it out of the way of children or anyone who might accidentally swallow it. I doubt the activity of the average smoke detector is particularly high, but ingesting an alpha source can be extremely dangerous if it gets lodged inside you.
Stay safe, kids and don't underestimate the danger of radioactive sources.
uranium-235, but really, why tell people how to make nukes?
Normally people use a compound for those, or they just put something symbolic. Realistically there are plenty of elements that you can't get hold of because they have very short half lives and aren't found commonly or at all in nature. So some people limit themselves to the naturally occurring elements of which there are about 90.
You're not going to get a sample of Francium, for instance, but you could include a sample of Thorite which has a couple of atoms of Francium in it at any one time.
See http://periodictable.com/Posters/Poster3.2000.JPG
Further down in the posts here, you can make a random number generator. This is the same substance in all State Lottery machines in the United States for random number generation. So think of it this way, Every time you buy a quick pick lottery ticket, you are using Americium-241!
No, Am-241 is not used to construct ionization chambers to detect RADIATION, it is used to detector ionization chambers to detect smoke or other particulates in the atmosphere.
Firstly, while alpha particles do not travel far in air, and many can be stopped by skin, they do penetrate to a degree. 22 micron thick paper with stop most of the alphas emitted from this particular radionuclide. The higher the energy thought, the further they go.
Secondly, and most importantly, the Am-241 decays with low energy gamma photons, but do not be deceived, what they lack in energy, they make up for in abundance leading to a very intense gamma radiation release per decay.
Hopefully, someone has the good sense to know that detection methods are varied, and each has an efficiency for a given type of radiative energy, be it corpuscular or photon. For Am-241, a Geiger counter for example is a TERRIBLE choice. The alpha needs to be measured independently of the gamma by alpha spectrometry. The gamma needs to be measured by either LSC (preferred), or gamma spectrometry (a suitable substitute).
1.0 microcurie may not seem like a big deal, but the radiation you aren't detecting is.
Careful guys. Taking off the radioactive source from any smoke detector may be illigal in your country. In Canada it is a Fderal crime.
Correct! It was first discovered in the United States by Glenn T. Seaborg (as lead investigator/principal investigator) and his research group at UC Berkeley Rad-Lab. Indeed, as the group discovered it, they were permitted to nominate the name they wished it to be known by (subject to final IUPAC acceptance). It is pronounced am-er-ISH-ee-em.
Actually there are a few elements named after countries:
Germanium, Ruthenium, Polonium
'Well-Said !'
You should probably give credit to the website you copied this entire set of text and images from. Customarily, people cite information that is not their property.
Here is the link to the EPA warning on Americium http://www.epa.gov/rpdweb00/radionuclides/americium.html
Once in the body, americium-241 tends to concentrate in the bone, liver, and muscle.
Americium-241 poses a significant risk if ingested (swallowed) or inhaled. It can stay in the body for decades and continue to expose the surrounding tissues to both alpha and gamma radiation, increasing the risk of developing cancer. Americium-241 also poses a cancer risk to all organs of the body from direct external exposure to its gamma radiation.
Exposure to any significant amount of Am-241 is unlikely under normal circumstances. ("Normal circumstances" do not include trying to access or remove the Am-241 source in a smoke detector!)
While I appreciate your sentiment, I don't think you should be pulling out the "do the editors at instructables think that..." card here.
For example, there are a lot of projects on here that use MDF (Medium-density fibreboard) The dust from that, like asbestos, when it gets in your lungs or nose can cause cancer.
I know most of the articles on here say you should wear a dust mask, and list the precautions that should be taken. The same "impressionable script-kiddies" could start working with MDF and ignore those precautions too.... should all those instructables be taken down?
Then there are the ones that use fire, high voltages, water.... how many people are killed by fire, electrocution and drowning each year?
If people are stupid enough to act stupidly, well... there are the Darwin Awards for that.
If kiddies are too young to understand the danger, and do something irresponsible after reading something on the internet, then the question needs to be asked, what are their irresponsible parents doing? Not supervising them? Not teaching them to understand that some things are dangerous and if you read something that says here are the dangers, here are the precautions, then you should act accordingly?
...and if children are too young to understand that last concept, then the parents should still be supervising them.
The world is a dangerous place. Covering everything in bubble wrap is not the answer. The world is also a fascinating place. Which you can't see and learn about through layers of bubble wrap.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I had cyano growing all over my 12 gal tank..it took months to get rid of it. I was using the correct antibiotics for it. I was so sick and tired of fighting it that I tore the whole tank down and started over, I only had a few fish in the tank. I transferred them to the pond/barrel and did the change to the tank. After about one week the cyano died off and now this tank is doing great. I did add new plants and replaced the lighting to LEDs. I'm not sure which change made the cyano go away.
I had this blue green algea so bad I almost gave up on the tank. I was ready to just sell the whole tank I was so mad at it.
I was so fed up with it I took everything out of the tank. I had sand substrate I removed it all added a plant substrate. Re planted the tank but there were still bits of BG algea left in the tank. I raised the light up 4" From the water surface.
Cleaning the filter was and is key to getting rid of this stuff. It thrives in a dirty tank that has low o2 with high light.
I now keep the filter clean and my water flow is nice and strong. Allowing for good flow around the tank. I also have more surface agitation and added more plants. Since doing this I have never seen a spot of BGA. Or any other algea yet I added rams horn snails to the tank and they keep it spot less.
How often do you clean your filter?
|HD Blazingwolf
for a simpler viewpoint
i'll point out that a test kit with 0 on phosphates can still support cyano bacteria growth because it can survive off of very low levels of po4
I've never had a tank or helped someone with a tank that had cyano as a result of proper biofiltration. THIS INCLUDED but is not limited to, decent flow, good oxygenation fo the water which is the most important, and a well established bacterial colony. Planted tank or not
low nitrates exacerbate the issue
low flow exacerbate the issue
cyano grows independent of kh and tds.. Ph hasn't seemed to matter either
these are just a kids opinions and viewpoints. but seen time and time again. and never seen in personal tanks that have above and beyond flow through the filtering system(10X turnover) which is comprised of 5% mechanical and 95% biological.
hope this helps
|I think it's more correct to ask, "What environment causes BGA to reproduce rapidly?"
|I think one can claim that high light, co2 injection, ei dosing, high flow sumps and 50% water changes once a week prevent cyanobacteria. I am just not sure you can claim that therefore cyanobacteria is not effected by phosphate levels or any other variable you would like to isolate.
cynobacteria decrease
I've had a problem with cynobacteria in my dwarf hair grass (feels funny saying that). It is really difficult to remove from this plant. However, using the multi-pronged approach suggested earlier in this thread (origins point to Tom Barr) and very maticulous manual removal, I have had a severe decrease in cyno over the last week. I think purchasing another filter for added flow really stopped the spread of it while the other actions have decreased it. For manual removal I shake the plant which detaches the cyno and use my water syphon to suck it up. I originally was using hydrogen peroxide but it harmed the grass so now I'm just using excel. I dose using the EI method and have not decreased my ferts during this time period. I've attached a crummy picture of how the cynobacteria looks in the dwarf hair grass.
Cyanobacteria can enslave other algae to get phosphate.
(inorganic phosphate). Cyanobacteria can use organic phosphate.
Just when you type "Cyanobacteria organic" in Google.
The word "phosphorus" will follow automatically...
IME, I've found stopping adding KH2PO4 "helps". But I've to control also
organic matter to get rid of it. When I resumed KH2PO4, it came back again.
I think we're dealing with multifactorial problem. That's why adding
high load of PO4 doesn't create problem for some, including me in the past.
In research, you MUST HAVE aquatic plants present to suggest nutrients and algae blooms within planted aquariums. Not doing so.... skews the research and does not support your contention. Many studies suggest N and P induce algae blooms, but such systems lack submersed aquatic plants at 30-100% coverage. You need around 30% or more to have the plants define the system from the top down, not bottom up control like with nutrients.
I stated that higher concentrations of PO4(eg non limiting to both plants and any algae/BGA) do NOT induce BGA in aquariums, if they did, everyone that doses EI would have a lot of BGA, but that is not the observation or the case.
This is independent of any other factors.
So higher levels of PO4 do not induce BGA/algae. You cannot get around this specific planted tank observation. Where there are a high % surface coverage of plants, there is no correlation between nutrients and algae.
I suggest a good read: Bachmann 2002.
What is a limiting range for BGA?
What is the specific species that infest our tanks?
This is about the only genus we have issues with.
So the rest of those species are not particularly specific to aquarium.
The South Florida water management district has a periphyton group, they study BGA crust in the Everglades. Shallow well planted regions. To restore the Everglades back to it's functional state, they need roughly under 10 ppb BILLION, ideally around 3-10ppb or so as I recall. Submersed plants around 50ppb, so you will limit and hurt plants long before you limit BGA via dosing.
It's like trying starve the mice while also feeding elephants at the same time at the same troft.
I simply have siad that at higher concentrations, in the 1-10 ppm range for PO4, 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than the limiting range, that BGA is a non issue due independently from dosing KH2PO4 and KNO3.
You are suggesting that there is dependency.
Above 10-20 ppb, they are independent, it's only when you get well below the limiting values for plants, can you start to limit BGA with P. Few test kits even have decent accuracy and measurement this low, it can be done, but error values of 3ppb and a range of 10ppb or under are extremely tough for the periphyton group, I think aquarist will have a tough time.
If you have dependency on other factors, of which there may be many, then why even worry about N or P being at a higher level? Non limiting is non limiting regardless.
That's why they use non limiting nutrients to study other factors like light and CO2 for plant growth. It's no longer dependent when you dose that way.
Or if they want to study say just P, they provide all other factors at non limiting nutrient values, thus only P is the dependent variable. The experiment typically has an upper bound(eg non limiting) and a lower bound(DI water etc, no ferts) and then a range of concentrations in between.
Adding more will not induce BGA. If there was dependency independent of the other factors, we would HAVE to have a high % of aquarist who dose KH2PO4 and KNO3 at say 5ppm PO4 and 15-20ppm a week have BGA, that is simply not the case. This clearly demonstrates that adding "excess" PO4 or NO3 does not induce algae or BGA. It's repeatable and has been for about 15 years now in the hobby.
This is not a new thing.
Until you get insanely low values, you are not going to have any competitions and if you do, it'll be the plants that die/stop growing long before the BGA.
Mostly through growing plants, not trying to outwit algae.
Paul Sears and Kevin Conlin long ago proposed this:
It's just a hypothesis, so I dosed more and waited for algae, instead, I had awesome plant growth and no algae.
Conclusion, the hypothesis must be false(this next part is important)... independent of other factors. It does not say that removing all essential elements is not dependency
Paul even made the statement we need some PO4...and that 0.00ppm is bad and will limit plant growth as well. What I showed was that it need not be in this tight narrow range say +/- 0.1 ppm and a target of 0.2ppm.
I have had high PO4 for the last 15 years and I have many many examples of some nice planted scapes and plant growth, so have many others.
Research is a good place to start, but it does not imply that the same principles work in aquariums. There needs some corroboration in what we see in the field and aquarium. Bachmann's study does that. In a lake without much plant growth % cover, I agree adding ferts will likely increase algae total concentrations and diversity. The key is % plant coverage. Same in our tanks and even in the pond hobby. If you have say 30-50% or more coverage, you likely will have a plant defined system.
Why this is I can only speculate. I do not know much, but I do know that adding a specific non limiting range of nutrients does not induce any algae.
Final note, do not take things personally. This is a discussion about plants, stick to that.
|Most of those plants are lower light, so you can reduce the light and thus the nutrient demand and dose, but dose light, but not for the algae/BGA, rather, for the plants.
Now... how to actually get rid of it in my tank. The problem is that I can't just load up on nutrients to make the plants happy because the TDS will shoot up higher than it needs to be in a PRL tank.
Anyone with any ideas?
|ua hua
I think this hobby and this site needs people like you to contribute your experience and not shy away when others may not agree with what you say. This hobby is far from being completely understood and is ever evolving. There is nothing wrong with questioning the majority. Tom of all people should know this as I'm sure what he was trying to prove with his EI dosing was going against the mainstream when it was first introduced. Everyone needs to contribute their experiences good and bad and make this a hobby that shares information which each other. I have had experiences with BGA and never quite figured out what the cause of it was as everyone always says the same thing about low N and not enough flow. Is the low N the cause of the BGA appearing or is the low N that is present in the system because the cynaobacteria has used up all the N thus resulting in low N?
Well, a little offended, Mr. Barr? Misapplied references do not offer support, eh? Well the reference you supplied isn't an aquarium either, and is just as misapplied then. My sources focused on the biology of cyanobacteria, which will be consistent in any environment.
http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/algae.htm#blue-read the section on BGA.
http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_...xcyanchap8.pdf - read the section about limiting cyanobacteria growth through phosphorous control, and the very first paragraph about competition with aquatic plants.
I'll quote this again:
"Phosphorous is the major nutrient controlling the occurence of water blooms of cyanobacteria in many regions of the world, although nitrogen compounds are sometimes relevant in determining the amount of cyanobacteria present. However, in contrast to planktonic algae, some cyanobacteria are able to escape nitrogen limitation by fixing atmospheric nitrogen.. The lack of nitrate or ammonia, therefore, favors the dominance of these species. Thus, the availability of nitrate or ammonia is an important factor in determining which species are present."
Toxic Cyanobacteria in Water: A Guide to Their Public Health Consequences, Monitoring and Management; World Health Organization; edited by Chorus and Bartram, 1999. p. 6.
Bottom line is cyanobacteria are phosphorous dependent. Period. No one is yet to dispute that. This is not a hypothesis, nor a theory. This is clearly stated in the literature, in more than one source. Quote your source stating cyanobacteria aren't phosphorous dependent or drop it. Seriously.
The presence of excess phosphorous doesn't guarantee that a cyanobacteria bloom will occur, I never stated that. But cyanobacteria blooms do occur when there is excess phosphorous. Disprove that. That it hasn't happened in your tank does not prove that excess phosphates and excess nitrates are not the cause of cyanobacteria blooms. Thats like saying that I drive above the speed limit and haven't had an accident, so no one who drives above the speed limit can have an accident. Your references to overdosing do not falsify my "claim". And please quote your source that BGA does not compete with plants for nutrients. Anytime two species utilize the same resource, they compete (also see above link.)
The problem stated by the OP was continual cyanobacteria blooms. I didn't offer speculation that it could be low O2 or some other cause. I offered actual conditions that are conducive to cyanobacteria blooms and suggested remediation. What was your reply? Something along the lines of we can't be sure what causes that.
I'm done with this topic. I've obviously upset the apple cart and offended the "in-crowd" and it seems some people aren't willing to keep an open-mind or willing to accept somebody else may have something different to contribute.
You have mentioned PO4 a lot, and say high amounts, but you have not stated once what those amounts are curiously.
I have.
I've shown one aquarium(I got plenty more where this came from) where I've dose 5ppm 3x a week of PO4, this is far beyond limiting concentrations/dosing for any plant or algae or BGA.
Here's another one of my tanks:
This tank has had this same dosing routine going on 6th year.
No algae issues. I've had a tiny bit of BGA below the gravel on the glass every so often, but it's never been any issue.
So where is all my algae if what you state is true?
I'd like to know.
I think this hypothesis that limiting PO4 cures algae was lost in this hobby starting about 1995 and it was toast by 1997.
In other words, BGA/algae are not caused directly, independent of other factors, but say 1-5ppm of PO4 from KH2PO4 dosed 1-3x a week.
Healthy plants define the system where there's 30-50% coverage or more, not the nutrients. If there are no plants in the system, then these smaller algae and BGA will define the system.
This is not one or two tanks for a week or two, these are 50+ tanks, 1600 gallons down to 1 gallon, over decades time spans.
A good myth is hard to kill.
Not the algae.......
Algae can be annoying though.

Bokos Sandals
Easy to clean. Also a great sandal for morning and evening because you can slip them on while wearing your favorite sock if it's getting chilly out. I use them for bass fishing wear on the bass boat, around the house, around camp and after a run. A great all around sandal at $18 (oops, my buddy left the price on em). They don't seem to slip much, so decent traction. I don't have an annoying thing between my toes. And best of all I can wear them straight out of the gate with a sock in the AM if it's… Full review

These sandals are great for a family vacation. I have had the ones with the pink straps for about 3 years now and they still look and feel great. These flip flops look nice enough to wear out to dinner, they are comfortable enough to walk around in all day, and I can wear them into the water if we're at the beach. I wouldn't wear them out in the woods because I think that branches would probably scratch them. My husband has a pair and he cut the sole a little when he stubbed his toe on our granite… Full review
OluKai Men's 'Ohana Flip-Flops

It�s estimated that certain members of the human race spend a combined 3 billion hours per week playing video games.
Ask a gamer why, and they may wax poetic about the out-of-body experience of venturing into ancient tombs, rising through the ranks of the criminal underworld and saving loved ones from a serial killer. Ask a parent about it, and they�ll probably deem the endeavor a colossal waste of time and couch space.
But is it art? The Smithsonian American Art Museum asserts that it is, with an exploration of the 40-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium. The Art of Video Games is the first exhibit of its kind, featuring interactive displays of games with striking visual graphics and engaging story lines to prove the point.
Upon entering the gallery, a video montage of cut scenes from Heavy Rain, Minecraft and the Legend of Zelda — to name just a few — greet the visitor, and you know you�ll find a few childhood favorites here. The nostalgia is so thick you could cut it with a laser.
Curator Chris Melissinos, founder of Past Pixels and collector of video games and gaming systems, has gathered more than 80 games through still images and video footage. He portrays the medium as he sees it, combining storytelling, animation, music and cinematography to create art that reaches beyond traditional definitions.
Offering an opportunity for gamers to plug into the exhibit, five classic titles are available to play: Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, The Secret of Monkey Island, Myst and Flower. While you may only get a few minutes of game play, you�ll gain insight about the creative process by watching interviews with producers and developers.
Jenova Chen wanted Flower to be a working poem — both beautiful and calming — so he created an opportunity for players to become the wind, breathing life into the world by gathering and carrying vibrantly colored petals. Adopting the role of one of the five elements, a feeling of peace, joy, freedom and sadness washed over me. And isn�t that what effective art is all about?
A collection of historic game consoles, tinny music, and 8-bit characters would almost be laughable, if not for the tone of reverence in these halls. Some have come to browse while others have come to worship. Let�s just say you�ll know who�s who by their garb.
Don�t miss Megatron Matrix, a conglomeration of 215 monitors by Nam June Paik that fuses images from the Seoul Olympics with those of Korean folk art rituals to portray a world without borders in the digital age. The assault of stimuli is alluring yet overwhelming, which might well be the point.
The Art of Video Games will surely fuel an ongoing debate. This exhibit isn�t just for people who grew up with a joy stick in one hand and a piece of pizza in the other; it�s for the confused parent and the armchair anthropologist, as well. Above all, it�s the highlight of day that illustrates that art can be anywhere, and it can certainly be fun.
Art-o-matUpon exiting The Art of Video Games, don�t miss a retrofitted cigarette vending machine that happily dispenses delightful, diminutive works of art. Art-o-mat is the brainchild of Clark Whittington, who first used it as part of his art installation in Winston-Salem, N.C., in 1997. The moment became a movement, and Artists in Cellophane was born.
Now over 400 artists in 10 different countries contribute to the inventory in dozens of machines, one on the third floor of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Feed a $5 bill in and choose from the offerings — fiber art, mini landscape paintings and the mysterious Mind�s Eye. Then pull the knob and � kerchunk � you�re an art collector.
Unlike the cigarette machines of old, this is a life-affirming venture. Proceeds go to the contributing artists as well as to the sponsoring museum.
MatchboxWithin walking distance, at 713 H Street NW, is Matchbox. You�ll know it when you see it by the flames emanating from a gigantic ashtray on the roof. Don�t worry; it�s all part of a well-executed theme that included wooden menus and warm decor.
Inside a tall, narrow row house that looks a bit like a matchbox and once was a Chinese grocery store, wood-fired pizza pies are produced and served. The space is at once lofty, trendy and cozy, with painted ductwork and exposed brick walls. Outdoor tables expand the restaurant�s seating capacity in good weather.
The pizza gets rave reviews, as does the plate of 3-6-9 Angus beef mini burgers topped with crispy onion rings. Appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts round out the menu, along with an excellent selection of wines, craft brews and other beverages. Brunch is offered on both Saturday and Sunday.
At Matchbox, pizza and burgers are elevated to a winning level. What better way to end a day devoted to the art of the video game than at a restaurant devoted to the love of hand-held food?

Glad CO isn't even marked on the map ... it sucks here ... keep rumor going. ;)
I feel I accurately prefaced the list with enough disclaimers but I guess I should also address the map - it's just a visual aid and not meant to accurately represent disc golf locations. It's more of a free form idea of my perception regarding disc golf as a nationally growing sport.
John McMullen: Savvy web users know that in order to take advantage of free content sites like this one, interactions with promotions, sponsorships and even straight up advertisements are common and frankly, necessary. Because I am professionally involved in online display advertising, I appreciate your perspective that a banner on "your" page is distracting (even though the page does not actually belong to you). For this reason, I have requested it be removed from "My Bag" pages. However, I do hope that if and when this (or any other free site you patronize) site is not sustainable in one man's free time, that you (and other users) are understanding.
Bob Rentsch: Thank you for bringing up the valuable point that we are all bias toward our home courses. Any "best of" list is entirely unprovable with facts and this one is no exception. The fun part is the discussion; the back and forth; the comparison; the opportunity to learn about other places and all feel connected through the sport.

Nature: I will tell you later
I have fantasy where my girlfriend is submitted to bukkake
My girlfriend is kinda kinky and slutty girl. Not like in everyday life where she lives kinda controlled and "normal" life. We have always been very sexual as a couple and been able to fullfill our fantasys. We both like to play it rough. My girlfriends like to be treated like whore in bed. She likes to wear sexy pvc outfits, corsets, platformboots and stockings. She does really storng slutty makeup and likes to called names like "whore" and "cumslut". She has perfect doubleD brests and slimwaist. Her ass is round and big. She very good figure. Her beutiful face and gorgeous redhair sure turn heads when we go out.
I know she liked to have groupsex, with three guys she told me. So we went looking for two guys online. After some hours chatting we got two candidates. As you will soon findout i had allready planned this with these guys, but more on that matter later. So we met this guys for coffee in a local resturant. Guys were polite, good looking and my girlfriend aproved both. Idea was to have kinda "mini bukkake" at first. My girlfriend sayed it was for me and for her to get used to idea of many men. She knew i was i big fan of bukkake.
I have friend working in a local stripbar and place is closed on sundays. I was able to rent it for this "private" party. We had the whole place for ourselves for whole evening. Plan with my girlfriend was that she teases as guys on stage with a little dildo show and we are only alowed to watch and jerk off. When she is ready she will knell on stage and i will come and handcuff her on the pole. She likes to be tied down. I sayed i wanna use legcuffs also and she agreed. After this she would be at our mercy and we would make her beg for cum. When we are pleased on her begging we shall cum on her face. She will thank us for our cum and clean herself up with herfingers as soon as we release her. So not a bad plan. My girlfriend just dosent know this, instead of three guys there will be more like 50guys.
I've been collectin and contactin men from internet, pornmagazines and almost everywhere for about a year. I have sended pictures of my girlfriend arond and invated people to join this bukkake. Everybody who has agreed to come has recived instructions. Every men must wear a black skimask, nothing else. They must not ejaculate for five days before the bukkake. They can only cum on my girlfriends face or head area. No touching, but they can call her names and verbally abuse her. So my girlfriend is gonna get it big time.
Stripbar has three bigger rooms, backstage, stage/ main bar area and underground level. Underground level has rooms for private shows and some storage rooms. Extra 50 men are waitng on this level, they have video accees on my girlfriends opening show. We play dance music on main bar area as we escort my girlfriend backstage for her makeup and clothing, so she does not her anybody from underground floor. She has been drinking a little so she's more kinky than usual. She starts to do her make in one of the dressing rooms backstage. Me and two other guys look at her almost drooling. Shes tells us to leave her alone, if we see bukkake whore before the bukkake it's bad luck, she tells us laughing. So we go on bar section to wait for her show. When we are in bar i check with contact downstairs, everything is in order. 54guys all skimasked and ready. Everything is going as i planned.
Music changes and my girlfriend enters on stage. She is wearing above the knee high platformboots with 7½" heels. Under boots she has black fishnet stay-up stockings. Corset is new even for me and it leaves her brest fully open but lifts them up on display. Corset is shiny pvc material, black with red stripes. She has also a small fabric collar to symbol her status as whore. On her hand is big black realistic looking 9inch dildo. She starts to dance and we boys loose our clothes in seconds. First she kneel in front of the stage and starts to play with her brests. Big heavy brests jiggle on her hands and she starts to breath heavier. Soon her hand finds it way between her legs and on her shaved pussylips just a small stripe of hair is not shaven. Her breathing turns on to moning.
I want to have some cock she says and firmly takes take hold of dildo. She dosent waste any time and forcefully inserts dildo on her pussy. She goes on her back and spreads her legs. With two hands she fucks herself like there is no tommorw. We are watching with our hard cocks ready to shoot their full blast of storaged cum. We watch her as hypnotized. I have to slow down so i don't shoot my load early. My Girlfriend is starts to moan very loudly and her body starts to shake a little bit. She reaches powerful orgasm and collapses on stage for a moment. We just look at her amazed. She rises up back to her knees and moves next to the pole. I start to climb on stage with my accessorykit. I have everything that i need to make her completly helples on that pole.
First i put small metal sleeve on pole. I thighten the sleeve with srews on the bottom of the pole. Sleeve it self has i ring attached it where i will lock my girlfriends cuffs. As soon i have sleeve on place i bring my girlfriends ankles near the pole. Next i use legcuffs and secure her ankles on the pole. She brings her hands ready behind her back and waits them to cuffed too. I lock her handcuffs on her leg cuffs so she can't rise up from her kneeled position. Now she is at our mercy and it is time to move on with my plan. I take two things out of kit and tell to our two kandidate boys to inform the basement team. My girlfriend shakes as she hears me mention "the basement team", but for some reason remains quiet.
Two kandidates leave us and disapper in the darknees of the bar. First of my extra accessory is normal butterfly vibrator from local sexshop. This small jelly vibrator is placed on klitoris by two elastic bands and it can be operated by smaal remotecontrol. I snad the butterfly on and it makes a small humming noise. My girfriend tryes to move but she can't. Soon her breathing is getting faster. Butterfly is working. Second item is big leather collar, wide and made out of storng black leather. I thighten it around her neck. Collar keeps her chin up and face upwards so he can't dodge any cum.
- Now you are ready to become a true cumslut. I wishper to her ear and back away from her.
Lights turn on the bar section. My girlfriend can see all the guys rising up the stairs and moving closer the stage. All wearing skimasks and hard cocks on their hands. Soon first men climb on the stage. My girlfriend starts to speak something in a kinda scared tone, but her sentence is cut short as first shot of cum hits her face. Men cheer and yell. I start to cirle around stage to get a better wiew on my girlfriend. When i get in front she's allready receiving second load. First two loads were total big ones. Shes allready messed up.
We are just getting started you slut, aaahhhh you dirty fucking slut. Says next man as he cums.
I see that guys have been following instructions course loads are big. Her face as nearly drowned. She keeps her eyes shut. I know she dosen't like cum on her eyes even she likes it on the face. I turn butterflys power up by few steps and my girlfriend starts to breath even heavier. I can sense that she dosen't want to enjoy this but she can't help it. Cum just keeps coming and she's drowning. I let her have even more and put power almost full. She starts to moan like total whore. She even opens her eyes looking straight at the next guy coming. She looks so slutty, makeup all messed up and first cum dripping on her tits.
I need your cum guys, i so want it, make me your cumslut, please. She starts to speak on a very sexy tone.
I can see that cum stings on her eyes but she manages it like professional whore. I put the vibrator on maxium and watch her lose it completly. Men can't wait anymore. She gets it from all directions. She is begging for cum and cathes some on her open mouth. Shes a total mess. When you have a bitch this horny 50guys cum pretty fast.
Soon i notice that there are only two guys left and other one is allready cumming, so i start to move closer. My cock is so ready to explode, all this pressure from long jerking and weeks of saving cum.
Look at me bitch! I command when i stand in front of her.
She open her eyes and looks at me smiling. What a happy whore i thinks when i let my cum go. Ooooh it fells so good...
After this men get dressed very fast and we leave my wife there cuffed and cummed. Soon one of her girlfriends is coming to pick her up. I arrenged this girl to pick her up course she is going to be our next victim. Just imagine the shock of finding your best girlfriend, dressed up as slut and full of cum...
Ok that's it. Sorry for my english, just wanted to share this with the world.

Try these two suppliers......................
You could also try Indiana Oxygen (the main branch in Indianapolis) , maybe they would be the first choice costwise.
4043 works well for a356, it color matches well and takes any heat treatment that is to be done after welding.Jonny

Spectrography transforms how we look at our universe. Until recent years, this technology was limited to professional observatories with... astronomical budget!
Our passion to astronomy led us to design a complete and affordable line of spectrographs, from discovery to professional and scientifical practice - including educational solution which is important to us. You will also find with us state of the art off-the-shelf working solutions including key accessories such as guiding and acquisition cameras.
You will find in this web site technical details of our products but also a large documentary section with projects to run with your spectrograph from your backyard. We hope to help you in your first step in spectroscopy... and you second one!
In our design of those instruments (which we are also users), we follow some key principles :
- Simplicity and ease of use in the field.
- Scientifical: give you spectra to serve science.
- Technical quality of achieved results.
- Univeral, working with a wide range of standard equipment, even modest ones.
- Responsiveness to your needs.
- Instruments accessible to all...... and always the pleasure of observing and discovery !
Stars send us a light rich of information, let your instruments decode it. Applications are infinite, observing programs are extending in the scientifical community : you won't see the stars like before !
