Aluminum Water Bottle Sports Top
Item# 95-1479
Water bottle replacement cap
Sports top replacement cap fits our aluminum water bottles. Please note, this cap does not fit our stainless steel water bottles.
Rated 2.5 out of 5 by 6
Rated 1 out of 5 by bkal leaks but no flow
The cap does not fit snugly and the water does not flow from the valve. So, you end up taking the whole thing off to get a drink, spilling excess . . . which kind of defeats the intended purpose.

Rated 1 out of 5 by KungFuSonia More Air Bubbles Than Water
The Water Bottle Sports Top lets in too much air bubbles than it does water. The water does not flow out smoothly, neither can you suck the water out without getting just a few drops for all your effort that will leave you feeling light headed.
I will be trying the Stainless Steel Water Bottle Top instead to see if those work out better than the sports top and will make sure to leave my review. The screw on tops are what comes with all the bottles, but when your rigorously working out at the gym or wherever, you do not want to be turning the top about 10 times with your tired sweaty hands just to get it to unscrew for one quick sip of water. It would be faster to just walk over to the water fountain.

Probably not but it's worth a try. I think their mouths are slightly different than ours (it's either the threads or the actually width of the mouth).4 years, 6 months ago

The only top that fits the Stainless Steel bottles is item number 95-1481 and it is a sports top.5 years, 6 months ago
I understand the sport top may need to let air through the top to allow flow, but it seems to let in more air than liquid. Is this the intended design?

This popular vacation takes you through the heart of Central Europe. Starting and ending in Frankfurt, spend two overnights each in Berlin, Warsaw, Kraków, Budapest, and Prague. See Germany's major cities, including the one-time intellectual hub of Weimar; reunified Berlin; and Munich, the lively Bavarian capital. From Germany, it's on to the highlights of Poland: charming Poznan, magnificent Warsaw, the historic Jasna Góra monastery, the Auschwitz concentration camp, and romantic Kraków. As you travel to Hungary, admire the majestic Tatra Mountains and pass through some of the most scenic parts of Slovakia. The legendary Danube welcomes you to Budapest with Buda Castle, Fishermen's Bastion, and Matthias Coronation Church. Austria's capital, Vienna, beckons next—the elegant city known for the waltz, delectable pastries, and awe-inspiring Habsburg palaces. On to Prague with its Charles Bridge, Jewish Quarter, and world-famous Astronomical Clock. Head through the Bohemian Forest into Bavarian Munich, and along the Romantic Road with the fairytale villages of Nördlingen and Rothenburg, medieval jewels with traditional 16th-century, half-timbered houses.
Headsets throughout the tourSightseeing: Visits to Weimar, Poznan, Munich, Nördlingen, Rothenburg
Scenic Highlights: Tatra Mountains, Romantic Road
Local Guides for city sightseeing in Berlin, Warsaw, Jasna Góra monastery, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Auschwitz. Professional Tour Director while touring
Check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free. Tonight, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers.
Northeast today using the Autobahn for a stop in Weimar, one-time intellectual heart of Germany and host to such luminaries as Luther, Cranach, Bach, Liszt, Schiller, and, of course, Goethe himself. It was at one time rightly known as the "Athens of Germany." Journey past Jena, home to the world-famous Zeiss Optics Factory. Over the River Elbe for a few more miles into Germany's capital city, Berlin. (B)
On this morning's included guided tour, learn how the city is no longer divided but every bit as fascinating. Once the city of contrasts with its West and East side separating two different worlds, since the wall came down, Berlin has developed into a harmonious blend of old and new. It has preserved the old buildings, such as the State Opera House and the Brandenburg Gate, its neoclassic-style boulevards such as the Kurfürstendamm and Unter den Linden, as well as created brand new buildings in the most daring up-to-date architectural styles. It is once again Germany's capital and one of Europe's most lively and interesting cities, from a cultural point of view. In the afternoon, there's an optional excursion to historic Potsdam. (B)
Drive east to Poznan, one of Poland's oldest trading centers and now an international marketplace during its industrial fairs. Continue to Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. (B,D)
The included sightseeing tour is an excellent introduction to Warsaw, magnificently reconstructed after wartime destruction. Today its wide avenues contrast strikingly with the narrow lanes of the old section. (B)
Two encounters with history on your southbound journey today. First, Jasna Góra near Czestochowa, the monastery that withstood the repeated onslaught of overwhelming Swedish forces during the religious wars of the 17th century. Since then, its Black Madonna is venerated as the "Queen of Poland" and has become the country's national symbol. In the afternoon, visit what is left of the Auschwitz concentration camp, a chilling reminder of the Holocaust. Evening arrival in Kraków. (B,D)
This is, they say, Poland's most beautiful city. For almost 500 years it was the country's capital, and today it is without a doubt its cultural capital. Optional morning sightseeing in ancient Kraków, for centuries the residence of Polish kings. See the Market Square, the Jewish Quarter, St. Mary's Church, and Wawel Cathedral. Free time later to explore this interesting town at your own pace and mingle with the locals. Tonight's optional folklore dinner might be the way to round off your stay in this city. (B)
A comfortable drive through three countries. First, south to the Tatra Mountains of Poland, then through a scenic part of Slovakia, and finally into Hungary. Your destination is Budapest, the most lively of Eastern European capitals. (B,D)
Included sightseeing features Buda Castle, which dominates the twin cities of Buda and Pest, separated by the broad ribbon of the Danube. Also see Heroes' Square, which typifies the modern capital, as well as the old inns along the riverbank, Parliament, Margaret Island, Fishermen's Bastion, the Royal Castle, and Matthias Coronation Church. (B)
Head for the Austrian border by way of Györ. You'll be in Vienna in time to enjoy your first afternoon and evening in this lively capital. Enjoy the included sightseeing tour with a Local Guide: the State Opera, Parliament, and the Town Hall. Stop for a stroll in Heroes' Square to view the Hofburg and an inside visit of St. Stephen's Cathedral. (B)
Morning optional excursion to Schönbrunn Palace. This afternoon, cross the Czech border into Moravia, then through the rich farmlands of Bohemia to Prague. (B,D)
The wealth of gothic and baroque architecture perhaps inspired Dvorak and Smetana, both Prague composers. The included guided sightseeing features landmarks such as the Jewish Quarter, Charles Bridge, and the Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock. Your Tour Director may suggest an evening optional excursion with traditional Czech music and spectacular entertainment. (B)
Into the landscape of the Bohemian Forest before reaching the Czech-German border. Drive south, enjoying the Bavarian scenery, to Munich, the "Secret Capital," for an orientation drive. (B)
The highlight today is undoubtedly the Romantic Road, which runs north to south as far as the Alps. First to lovely medieval Nördlingen, then Rothenburg with its ramparts and towers, cobblestone streets, and 16th-century houses, before heading towards the Frankfurt area. (B,D)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (B)
Transportation: Scheduled transatlantic flights and airport transfers in Frankfurt if Cosmos issues the air tickets. Touring by private first-class air-conditioned motorcoach
Buffet breakfasts; 5 dinners
With Cosmos, there's no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of your Tour Director. Averaging over a decade... we'd like you to meet a Tour Director, who is representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your vacation.

I just installed Windows 7 and I thought I would share my experiences. I bought 2 copies of Win 7 Pro (OEM) since I have 2 computers to upgrade. I skipped Vista so I'm starting with XP. Good thing I got 2 copies as one of the discs (from Tiger) was scratched so bad Windows would not install from that DVD. The 2nd copy was scratched as well but my drive was able to read it well enough to get through the install. I'm sending the other copy back. And these discs came packaged in a full sized DVD movie case so they got scratched before they were put in the case. Mass duplicators suck.
First, I recommend you read all the available material about pre-requisites. A GOOD idea is to go to MS's OEM website and read the docs. Good stuff there. Also, the Win 7 Upgrade Advisor should be D/L-ed and run to see what HW needs updating or replacement. Luckily all my HW passed and its all 3 years old.
I have been installing Windows since version 95 and the Win 7 install is the smoothest yet. Having said that, its not without difficulties. I installed onto a 2nd HD and that's what I recommend. That way you can dual boot your current OS with Win 7. And then you can migrate over your apps at your leisure. Forget the "upgrade" version. That's for people who really like trouble. Windows has the dual boot thing down pretty good now.
The install took less time than previous versions, partly due to using DVDs instead of CDs. In fact, almost everything is faster in Win 7. Boot (not counting BIOS portion) to the password prompt takes 23 seconds on my box, from that point its another 7 seconds. Shutdown takes 6 to 7 seconds consistently! Apps start up faster, the ones I've tried anyway. The internet is WAY faster. Web pages load almost instantly! I don't know what they did but it worked. I can only imagine how fast this thing would be in a new system with an i7 processor with fast RAM, a solid state HD, and 2 GTX 275's SLI!
Win 7 comes with NO GAMES. Zip, nada. I installed the 64-bit version and have only had one app fail to run and that one is really old anyway. I'm still installing apps though. Oh yeah, the "compatibility mode"? Scratch that. It didn't work for me. I suppose in some specific situations it MIGHT work, probably not. So if your app doesn't like Win 7 then you won't be running that app on Win 7. I don't know why anyone would want the 32-bit version, defeats the purpose of upgrade.
Win 7 is more in tune with multimedia, than prev versions, including making things easier to find, when its not busy making things harder to find. E.g. try bookmarking in IE 8. Until you find the right shortcut key you'll have a hard time. Similar for Win Media Player, MS hides features. Windows Media Center features are built in to Win 7 so if you want to use your computer to run your home entertainment system then Win 7 is a good choice. Home networking is even more improved since XP and Vista. Its come a long way from the crappy Win 95/98 days. Win 7 seems to handle far more types of devices with ease.
Win 7 runs an enormous number of processes, 50 on my box (Damn!). And it uses 1 GB of RAM, I have 4 GB installed and I would call that minimum. 2GB will be a stretch. Also, Win 7 uses twice as much HD space as XP, 16 GB vs. 7 GB, so make your partitions big enough if you do partition. Those numbers include the swap file which can be moved. I would give Win 7 30 GB. User accounts will fill that up pretty quick though.
Visually, Win 7 is stunning. Very nice. If you've used Vista it may seem about the same, just more of it. The gadgets are carried over from Vista. I expected "gadgets" to take off but that has not really materialized. There are some useful gadgets though.
IE 8 looks nice and seems to run very fast and integrates all the new internet stuff, feeds, IM, multi-device sync, web slices, the whole 9 yards. But it does not work well with BV! I tried to write this in IE 8 and it has problems with BV's scroll panes. Luckily Firefox works fine.
Oh yeah, when you boot the Win 7 DVD the 1st screen you get, the "stupid" screen, is gonna make you laugh & scream. So before you boot the DVD go into your BIOS and make sure you know your boot priority because the first thing Win does is ask you to select a "boot type". What the hell does that mean? Well its the devices in your boot priority and Win gives you a numbered list with no text to tell you what the heck it is you are selecting. Doh! If you put your DVD first in the boot priority then select "1" on the "stupid" screen. Aaargh!
As usual Win loves to go infinite loop on the first reboot. Just make sure you select the HD on reboot, that's probably "2" on the "stupid" screen. Otherwise you'll be starting the process all over, and over and over. Same as all previous versions of Windows.
Things you could have problems with: Hardware and/or drivers. Some companies are just not supporting Windows 7 on hardware that is more than 2 years old. Yep, 2 years old! That is completely unacceptable to me but that is not MS's fault. ATI/AMD is not supporting Win 7 on video cards older than about 2 -3 years old (which covers pretty much everybody). Believe it or not. Ooooh kaaaay AMD. Same goes for Hauppauge (assuming you had a device from them that was working to start with).
Bottom line: I like Win 7. Looks nice and runs well. Simplifies many tedious things and, so far, is making life a little easier than what it replaced, a 3 year old install of XP that needed re-install to get rid of built up internet gunk. Now to try installing a game...
My Rig:
Win 7 Rating: 5.8 (due to the Seagate HDs, 6.7 otherwise)
Mobo: Intel D975XBX2(KR)
Proc: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz (slightly O/C-ed)

AMCC Uses FloTHERM & FloTHERM.PACK to Reduce IC Package Development Cost by Comparing Flip-Chip/Wire Bond Thermal Performance
May 2008
Flomerics announced today that the Package Engineering Group from Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCC) is using FloTHERM thermal simulation software to significantly reduce the cost of packaging and the project resource cost for a new family of ICs. AMCC achieved these outstanding results by comparing flip-chip and wire bond thermal performance early in the design process.
"Thermal simulation helps us improve the targeted performance to cost ratio of our leading dual port 10Gbps Ethernet PHY family, the QT2225 and QT2235, by enabling us to optimize the tradeoff between thermal performance and packaging cost at an early stage of the design process," said AMCC® Packaging Engineer Mark Patterson. "The ability to generate thermal models of ICs in less than an hour removed the barriers of simulation complexity and time/resource constraints at the early stage of our design process.We use FloTHERM for thermal simulation because it makes it easy and convenient to model different package styles and types."
A key advantage Flomerics brings to its customers is greatly reducing the time required to model the package design alternatives using the FloTHERM.PACK website. By simply defining the key parameters of the chip including the package size, die size, number of balls, number of metal layers in the package and power dissipations, the FloTHERM.PACK web site then created detailed thermal models of each type of package in a fraction of the time that would have been required to model the geometry from scratch or using alternate solutions.
On nearly every new product, AMCC also uses thermal simulation to create a design guide that provides customers with detailed thermal performance information under specified conditions. A typical design guide is a detailed engineering document that makes it clear to customers what is required to keep the chip cool under a wide range of conditions. AMCC also creates compact models for most of its products. These compact models provide a quick and simple prediction of the component's response to changes in airflow, temperature, and pressure. AMCC provides these models to customers who incorporate them into FloTHERM models that they then use to predict the thermal performance of their complete systems.

(CNN) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid formally introduced a much-anticipated gun bill Thursday, his office announced. The Senate is expected to debate the legislation when the upper chamber returns from a two-week recess.
The bill, released just over three months after the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, is made up of three measures. One measure expands the background check system, while the other two deal with school safety and gun trafficking.
"The bill I advance tonight will serve as the basis for opening debate," Reid, the Senate's leading Democrat, said in a statement.
Reacting to the news that the Senate will consider a universal background check bill, NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam told CNN they are "strongly opposed" to the legislation, which was initially pushed by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York.
"We have made our position clear, and we will do whatever we can to defeat it," Arulanandam said.
The NRA has been running print and television ads in recent weeks against the idea of expanding background checks, and the group is expected to unveil news ads in the coming weeks.
"All options are on the table," Arulanandam added.
Reid will allow votes on amendments related to an assault weapons ban, high-capacity magazines and mental health provisions.
While there are some fierce advocates for the assault weapons ban, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, Reid said earlier this week that he didn't believe the measure would get enough support on the floor but promised he would allow a vote through an amendment.
"In his State of the Union address, President Obama called for all of these provisions to receive votes, and I will ensure that they do," he said.
Vice President Joe Biden, who's been a leading voice from the Obama administration on gun violence, commended Reid via Twitter.

I tried to find a better source for this. Unfortunately the only one doing the job of a journalist is Glenn Beck.
I know many here think he's a screwball, but I still say let's see you porve him wrong, or call him a liar.
Some of you who are older here may remember the names Cloward and Piven. They wrote a book I beleive back in the 60's "how to end poverty" well if you read the book you'll see why this is important.
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articl ... 198/34681/
check out the link and tell me this is not what they are doing right now.This goes hand in hand to what I have been saying since the last election, the dems are crashing the economy on purpose.
even if you don't like Glenn Beck you cannot deny the man does his homework.

How to Tell When Your Food Is Done Cooking
Learning how to check for doneness in all types of foods is the key to making every meal turn out just right. Here, the basics:
Fish Fillets & Shrimp
For thinner fillets, such as red snapper, sea bass, or catfish, once the outside is opaque, the fish is done.
For thicker fillets, like salmon, cod, or Alaskan pollock, gently insert a small, thin knife into the thickest part of the fillet to see if it's opaque throughout.
For shrimp, boil, sauté, or grill them in their shells to keep in the most flavor. Shrimp should be pink on the outside and opaque in the center. If using for shrimp cocktail, drain and rinse shrimp with cold water.
Stews & Pot Roasts
Beef, pork, lamb, and other meats in braised dishes need to cook longer to break down the connective tissue.
Insert a fork into the meat. If it's tender throughout, and pulls apart with no resistance, it's done.
No need to slice into the meat; just touch the top of the steak, comparing it to the resistance of your palm. Use these guidelines:
- For rare, press your right index finger into the palm of your open left hand below your thumb. It'll be soft. (Note: This is the spot you'll touch with your right index finger for each of the following tests, during which you touch different fingertips on your left hand to your left thumb.)
- For medium-rare, touch the tip of your left index finger to your left thumb. Press the area on your left palm again. It's soft but with less give.
- For medium, medium-well, and well-done, follow with the middle, ring, and pinky fingers the spot on your palm tightens as you reach the pinky.
Green Vegetables
If you're steaming or boiling green veggies, check them first after they've cooked 3 to 4 minutes to see if they're getting close.
- Steam or boil until broccoli, green beans, asparagus, etc., are tender but still have a small amount of crispness. To test: Pierce one piece with the tip of a sharp knife, or take a small bite it should resist just slightly.
- To stop cooking and maintain color, rinse with cold water immediately after draining.
Chicken Breasts
- If you have an instant-read thermometer handy, insert it horizontally at the thicker end of the breast, and stop cooking when it reads 165 degrees F.
- Or if you'd like a simpler test, follow the tips for steak doneness and cook the chicken breast until it passes the test for a well-done steak.
- Last resort: Pierce the chicken breast with the tip of a sharp knife; if the juices run clear, it's done.
Forget about throwing spaghetti against the wall; if it sticks, it's overcooked. Do as the Italians do: Start testing early two-thirds of the way through the cooking time.
- Take a taste! It should be al dente tender but still firm and chewy, with no white core at the center.

More InfoWe use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!

Simply measure your dog's neck at the base for the proper collar size. There should always be enough room to slip one finger between your pet's neck and the collar, so do this as you determine your dog's neck size. The measurement of your dog's neck is the size of the collar it needs.
You don't buy pants for yourself that are a certain measurement and add or subtract several inches to get your true pants measurement, right? Why should you do that for your dog? We like to keep it simple and logical here at Dog IDs, Measure your dog's neck and order that size collar. That's the way it should be!
Simply measure your dog's neck at the base for the proper collar size. There should always be enough room between the pet's neck and the collar to slip one finger between them comfortably.
Method 1) Measure your dog's neck with a sewing tape while keeping two fingers between his skin and the tape.
Method 2) Wrap a string around your dogs neck with two fingers between his skin and the string. Mark the string and then measure the length of it.
Method 3) Remove your dog's current collar and stretch it out flat. Then measure from the center of the buckle to the current sizing hole being used.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Germ Guardian 2-in-1 Upright and Canister GGU350TT Vacuum
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Overall, the Germ Guardian 2-in-1 Upright and Canister GGU350TT Vacuum performed only fairly. It did a very good job of removing pet hair from carpeting, but it struggled to remove embedded-dirt particles from carpeting as well as at removing debris from hard-surface flooring. While the Germ Guardian does provide the consumer with the option of deactivating the brush roll feature (which would otherwise scatter debris when switching from carpet surfaces to bare-floor surfaces), test results showed that it still had poor cleaning results. It easily tipped over when using using the hose, was difficult to assemble, and had a remarkably loud motor. You might appreciate, however, that the Germ Guardian comes with a detachable canister, making it more versatile than a traditional upright. germguardian.com.

Simulation Helps Meet Thermal Challenges of World's Fastest Supercomputer
March 2008
CH2M HILL engineers used Flomerics' FloVENT computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to simulate predicted thermal loads that will be generated by the IBM Roadrunner machine. Roadrunner is projected to be in the top 10 on the HPC Top 500 list and will be installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory's Nicholas Metropolis Center. By regularly modeling the facility, CH2M engineers have helped the DOE stay one step ahead of the continuously increasing thermal load while minimizing initial and operating costs of cooling equipment. "The CFD simulations have saved money by determining exactly how much cooling capacity is required to handle current and projected thermal loads and identifying design improvements that boost cooling efficiency," said Andy Solberg, CH2M HILL engineer.
IBM's Roadrunner will be capable of a sustained speed of up to 1,000 trillion calculations per second or one petaflop. Roadrunner will utilize 16,000 Cell B. E. processors, which were originally designed for Sony Playstation video game platforms. The supercomputer will also include 16,000 AMD Opteron processor cores. The Roadrunner will primarily be used for simulations to ensure the safety and reliability of the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile. The Roadrunner occupies only a portion of the Metropolis Center at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), which is filled with other high performance computing equipment.
One of the key challenges of owning and operating this enormous computing resource is addressing the critical thermal management challenges. A conventional data center is composed of racks that typically dissipate between 2 and 6 kiloWatts (kW). The high density racks in the Metropolis Center, on the other hand, dissipate up to 20 kW per rack. LANL first contracted with CH2M HILL several years ago to perform thermal simulation as part of planning for the installation of Roadrunner as well as other expansion projects in the Center.
"We use FloVENT as our thermal simulation tool at CH2M HILL because it provides many features that simplify the task of modeling data centers," Solberg said. "Flomerics also provides a team of support engineers that are experienced in addressing data center cooling issues."
In September 2006 CH2M HILL modeled the west side of the Metropolis Center in order to evaluate the effect of adding the Roadrunner Phase 1 and Phase 2 Equipment. In 2007 CH2M HILL expanded the model to include the entire Center, including Roadrunner Phase 3 equipment and Tri-Lab capacity clusters Scalable Units (SUs). The SUs are scalable high performance clusters used for a variety of research performed at the three sister national laboratories Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Sandia National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
"The simulation demonstrated that the heat loads involved in the operation of this data center were managed well by the existing Metropolis Center building design," Keith Kibbee, also a CH2M HILL engineer, concluded. "It showed that the data center could handle all of the equipment that had been planned and projected while adding 14 computer room air conditioners." Furthermore, the engineering team used FloVENT to test alternatives that optimize the use of the available cooling capacity before ever having to touch a perforated floor tile in the actual facility.
CH2M HILL engineers also developed several proposals to increase the cooling efficiency of the data center so it could be able to handle even greater loads. "We noted that the current facility has no physical barriers between hot aisles and cold aisles other than the server rack itself," Solberg said. "Theoretically these changes could bring the cooling efficiency of the Metropolis Center close to 100% and allow the thermal load in the data center to be increased by approximately 20% without adding cooling capacity. This application demonstrates how simulation can save money in the data center by more efficiently utilizing available cooling resources."

We all require fast cash loans at some point in life. They are mainly used during emergencies. This is because, getting personal loans during emergencies can be very hard especially if you have to go through a lending institution or bank. Friends and family members also come in handy during emergencies. They are also a core sources of quick cash that you are not required to repay with a profit. However, if friends and family members are not in a position to assist you, you might consider obtaining quick cash loans from online or the nearest fast cash lending institutions.
How to acquire fast cash loans online
There are many ways of getting fast cash. However, online lending companies offer the fastest methods since you do not have to leave your home and walk for long distance before getting to physical loan lenders. All you require is your computer and an internet connection. Though there are numerous online lending companies, the loan application process are quite similar but they may differ in the minimum and maximum amount of money they are willing to give out. The following are steps to follow when applying for quick loans online.
Research: ensure that you do thorough research about a few different companies that you would like to work with. You can consult from family and friends who have applied for cash loans online. Inquire about the companies they worked with, why they chose the companies and how professional the lenders are. You could also search the internet for instant loan providers and go through client reviews. This way, you are able to make an informed decision.
See more in this site.
Fill out the application: after you have selected the online lending company you would want to work with, the next step is to fill out your application form. The application form requires you fill in information such as your official names, active checking account information, social security number, address, phone number and name of your employer. Ensure that your checking account number is correct and active. The lenders will transfer the loan money to your indicated checking account number. A few online lenders use your details to check your credit history.
Wait for an approval: after submitting your loan application, the online lenders will review the details you indicated and determine whether you are eligible for the amount you have requested. This when some lenders refer to your credit history, the type of job you do and monthly salary. They either approve or deny the amount you request.
Terms and conditions: before the online lenders can transfer the money to your bank account, you are required to agree to their terms and conditions. As you read the terms and conditions, ensure that you pay close attention to the hidden fees and interest rates. In most cases, the loans should be paid within a short time that may be one month. In such a case, an interest rate of 20 percent would be on the higher side since the interest are paid monthly.
Receive the money: after you have accepted the terms and conditions, the lenders will transfer the agreed amount of money to your indicated bank account within 24 hours.
Important tips to note
- Due to the rise in need of online greentouch fast cash loans, many scammers have emerged. Therefore, you should be carefully and sure of who are giving your personal information and account details. Though there are many genuine online lenders, there a few scam business people who may use your personal information for fraudulent purposes.
- Instead of applying for fast cash that has high interest rates, consider a convenience check that is associated with your active credit card. The transaction fees may be high but less in the long run since the interest fees are charged annually.
- Always compare what different online lenders have to offer before selecting one to work with. Review the repayment rules and interest rates.

Way back in the years BC (before computers), the attitude in electronics manufacturing was quite different compared to today. There were continuous trade-offs between the three critical elements; Quality, Cost and Delivery. For example, it was accepted that at times of new model introduction, market defect rates would soar, these would even be predicted with plans and resources put into place to cope with the fall-out. It was also accepted that in order to achieve deliveries to meet customer schedules, every effort and means should be expended. Incredible amounts of expensive overtime (bought me a nice car back then!), emergency labour (yes, I did see day release inmates working on the lines) and resultant dubious quality. It was a continuous trade off, cycling between the three competing goals. It was thought at the time that there cannot be a perfect world where all three elements can be achieved at the same time.
Fast forward a few years into the 90s and onwards to the present day, the situation has changed significantly. Competition from developing countries has put severe pressure on "established" manufacturers to differentiate themselves in order to survive. A critical part of this was to provide "perfect" quality at a competitive price always with "on-time" delivery, the three elements together. This quickly became the "given" in the industry for success. Projects were created to analyse and improve the operations, MRP, ERP, MES, 6 Sigma, Lean, so many different approaches to achieve this ideal. Was it worth it? Absolutely! A huge difference today in terms performance and capabilities compared to the past. Is this the end of story? Sorry, no, not by a long way….
Enter the dragon. What many people see as the Chinese phenomenon in recent years, they see as being as a result of lower costs of manufacturing, which, to a reasonable extent, it is. This is nothing new however; after all, China was not the first place that this happened, how about Mexico, Thailand or Malaysia? There is a difference though in China, something new that was not seen in these other places. Something significant. As China quickly matures now to provide the ideals of quality and on-time delivery as well as being very competitive on cost, this new fourth element becomes more significant and perhaps more dominant.
This fourth element is agility. Agility is the capability to alter product flows and capacities directly in line with market need eliminating as much stock and investment in the retail supply chain as possible. The importance of agility is rapidly increasing now as a result of the new paradigm of how products are designed, manufactured and sold. "Hit products" are the result of this process working well, competitive products introduced to the market and sold extremely quickly. In many cases in the consumer market for example most of the profit is often made only during the first few weeks of sale until competitors catch up. Selling in the internet culture contributes to this; expectations are set for very frequent new products with new technologies following new fashions. It remains difficult to predict which products in which markets are going to do well. The supply chain from manufacturer to shelf has to be shorter than it has ever been. The response and speed of change has become critical. To the manufacturer, it all means rapidly changing demand, continuous new models of many new products all over the world all at the same time. Oh, yes, and all the products still have to actually work perfectly, brand reputations are on the line.
The Chinese are good at agility. They are used to competition and will do whatever it takes to win deals. It is in their DNA. In other manufacturing environments, there is not such flexibility. Ironically, the solutions described to achieve the three critical elements of Quality, Cost and Delivery often work against agility, in spite of best efforts. It is no longer viable to run a manufacturing operation on ERP clock-work calculations founded on logic from the 1970s. Even many of the adopters of "Lean" seemed to get carried away and took agility out of the system thinking it was a waste, that dedication instead was the answer to get the most cost effective processes. So, is this "game over" for "established" manufacturing?
No. No more trade-offs, even considering the need for now the four critical elements. Recognizing these new demands on manufacturing, understanding the way that manufacturing has to respond, and understanding the practical limitations of traditional ERP and MES systems, agility has been a key factor in the development of the latest manufacturing technologies available from Mentor Graphics. A series of webinars goes into some detail of realistic solutions for Agility, as well as assuring of course the three fundamentals of Quality, Cost and Delivery. These are available to sign up for now. The webinars work to show how the picture builds, step by step, to provide an understanding of the new Valor MSS solution from different perspectives. Enjoy! This is all getting very interesting…

The last two games, the Blues look like themselves. And what I mean by that is they look like the team that put up 109 points last year. I said the exact same thing in the last GDT after they beat the Coyotes. But it holds true here, as well. They still are having too many turnovers in their own end that lead to quality chances, and in the case of last night's game, Anaheim's only goal. Nevertheless, there's a confidence that had seemed shaken during the rough stretch a few weeks back.
They're going to hit some more rough spots, that's just the nature of the sport. But they're still fighting and with half the season to go, they look like the team we all thought we were going to see when they started 6-1-0.
Bottom line is, no one expected this.
No one expected an unproven rookie to walk in and stand on his head.
No one expected a flake to suddenly play like the skilled forward he really is.
What we expected was a goaltending tandem that had been broken, a group of our best players out on injury and not having a return date on when any of them returning, consistent sloppy play and the losses to go with it.
At this point, the Captain of the team should be Jake Allen. He has brought confidence back to the Bluenote.
Everyone, including myself, felt we needed to get a veteran presence. And if things had continued as they were, and there were no indication that things would get better at that point, we'd still be losing, still be playing sloppy and still having major issues.
We make a goalie change and things suddenly turn around. We put out Halak and they ADMIT to leaving him out to dry.
Confidence is another word for trust. This team doesn't trust Halak and Elliott anymore, for whatever reason. Their time in the STL might be done.
And that's the bottom line...cause Oak land said so.

Ring received was unfortunately too light for my goal (green amethyst is her birthstone, and her eyes are a beautiful shade of green). Everyone there was very helpful, and worked with me to overnight the ring back, (then minus two days of jewish holiday apparently) overnight the new ring to me. It is a beautiful ring, and she likes it very much. She cried when I gave it to her :) Thanks!

Doing What She Loves
Amber Wilson '08
From the time she stepped foot onto campus, Amber Wilson knew that Anna Maria College was the perfect fit for her. She loved the spiritual environment and was fond of having the campus set in the woods of Paxton, yet very close to Worcester. When looking at colleges, she had five schools on her list, but AMC was always at the top.
Amber had applied to AMC for its Art Therapy program, which she had discovered at a college fair. She was not familiar with this program but remembered, "When I saw an 'Art Therapy Major' sign on one of the tables at the fair, I had an epiphany and knew down to my core that this was what I wanted to pursue."
There are many professors that Amber learned from and was inspired by. Art professor, Alice Lambert, was especially important to Amber's college education. Amber shared, "I can't say enough about her; she made me into a disciplined artist by offering me constructive criticism when needed. I didn't always accept it and she wasn't always my favorite, but by the time I graduated it was Professor Lambert that I knew I would miss the most." Amber also acknowledged Professor Michael Boover for his honesty and appreciation for the simple pleasures of life. She had said she experienced a lot of spiritual growth from his down-to-earth style of teaching.
Amber now works at Atria Senior Living in their Kennebunk, Maine location as an Engage Life Director. Her job is to develop an engaging and enriched monthly calendar of events with "whole-person component programming." These are programs designed to encourage residents to explore mental, spiritual, physical and emotional wellbeing. This is done through civic engagement, creative expression, outings, and cultural events.
Amber stated, "If AMC had not provided me the opportunity to complete a summer internship, I probably never would have walked in Atria Senior Living's doors and my life would be completely different!" Amber has taken what she learned from a variety of classes from AMC and has applied them to her position. She teaches acrylic, watercolor painting, calligraphy, therapeutic arts, meditation and guided imagery; all of which she learned at AMC.
"Although nothing has been smooth sailing, I am proud of my independence and accomplishments. There are many obstacles in life, but the more you get through them, the stronger you become. Take advice from loved ones, but never doubt what your gut says. If you are able to face your fears, you can face anything."

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My husband died of glioblastoma multiforme. Is there a link between this disease and exposure to the high tension electrical lines under which he worked?
Robert Lustig MD FACR, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Pennsylvania, responds:
There is no confirmed link between brain tumors and high tension electrical wires.
Aside from very rare cases of familial brain tumors, the cause of gliomas remains unknown.
Having said that, exposure to radiation has been linked to the development of certain types of primary brain tumors, especially if the exposure took place in childhood. Higher radiation doses are generally felt to increase the lifetime risk of developing a brain tumor, and radiation-induced brain tumors can take anywhere from 10-30 years to form.
Although many chemicals have been shown to cause brain tumors in laboratory animals, there have never been any definite, proven associations with chemical exposures. Chemicals that have been shown to cause brain tumors in animals include n-nitroso compounds, vinyl chloride, and certain organic solvents. However, when examining populations exposed to these various chemicals (like pesticide workers or workers in the petrochemical industry), there has never been any conclusive evidence to suggest that they get brain tumors at a higher rate than people without the chemical exposures.
Certain hereditary disorders can predispose someone to the development of certain brain tumors. Genetic diseases like neurofibromatosis type 1, neurofibromatosis type 2, von Hippel-Lindau disease, and tuberous sclerosis are all associated with an increased risk of developing a primary brain tumor.
With the recent popularity of cellular phones, many people have worried that their use may be a risk factor for developing brain tumors. However, there has never been any data to support this idea. In fact, a few studies have looked at this question and have always failed to show any correlation between cell phone use and brain tumors.
Oct 22, 2012 - While the majority of survivors of pediatric embryonal tumors display positive social outcomes several years after diagnosis and treatment, specific risk factors may affect social adjustment and behavior over the long term, according to research published online Oct. 15 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Anti-reflux surgery is surgery to tighten the muscles at the bottom of the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). Problems with these muscles can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
This surgery can also be done during a hiatal hernia repair.
This article discusses anti-reflux surgery repair in children.
The most common type of anti-reflux surgery is called fundoplication. This surgery usually takes 2 to 3 hours.
Your child will be give general anesthesia before the surgery. That means the child will be asleep and unable to feel pain during the procedure.
The surgeon will use stitches to wrap the upper part of your child's stomach around the end of the esophagus. This helps prevent stomach acid and food from flowing back up.
A gastrostomy tube (g-tube) may be put in place if your child has had swallowing or feeding problems. This tube helps with feeding and releases air from your child's stomach.
Another surgery, called pyloroplasty may also be done. This surgery widens the opening between the stomach and small intestine so the stomach can empty faster.
This surgery may be done several ways, including:
The surgeon may need to switch to an open procedure if there is bleeding, a lot of scar tissue from earlier surgeries, or if the child is very overweight.
Endoluminal fundoplication is similar to a laparoscopic repair, but the surgeon reaches the stomach by going through the mouth. Small clips are used to tighten the connection between the stomach and esophagus.
Fundoplication - children; Nissen fundoplication - children; Belsey (Mark IV) fundoplication - children; Toupet fundoplication - children; Thal fundoplication - children; Hiatal hernia repair - children; Endoluminal fundoplication - children
Anti-reflux surgery is usually done to treat GERD in children only after medicines have not worked or complications develop. Your child's doctor may suggest anti-reflux surgery when:
Anti-reflux surgery risks include:
Risks for anesthesia include:
Risks for any surgery include:
Always make sure your child's health care team knows about all the medicines and supplements your child is taking, including those you bought without a prescription.
A week before surgery, you may be asked to stop giving your child any products that affect blood clotting. This may include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), vitamin E, and warfarin (Coumadin).
Your child's doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
How long your child stays in the hospital depends on how the surgery was done.
Your child can start eating again about 1 to 2 days after surgery. Liquids are usually given first.
Some children have a g-tube placed during surgery. This tube can be used for liquid feedings, or to release gas from the stomach.
If your child did not have a g-tube placed, a tube may be inserted through the nose to the stomach to help release gas. This tube is removed once your child starts eating again.
Your child will be able to go home once they are eating food, have had a bowel movement and are feeling better.
Heartburn and related symptoms should improve after anti-reflux surgery. However, your child may still need to take medications for heartburn after surgery.
Some children will need another operation in the future to treat new reflux symptoms or swallowing problems. This may happen if the stomach was wrapped around the esophagus too tightly or it loosens.
The surgery may not be successful if the repair was too loose.
