How to Get the Best Performance From Your Air Conditioner
The first modern air conditioner was invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier. Since then, air conditioners have become one of the most popular home appliances, as people are always looking to control their climates and air conditioner services are arguably the most effective ways to do so. However, air conditioner repair costs can sometimes be high, so there are ways to keep an air conditioner working without having to pay the air conditioner repair costs.
Air conditioning was actually widely embraced by movie theaters during the Great Depression, even though it cost quite a bit, because it was a huge draw for patrons. Importantly, checking an air conditioner

The Journey and sin:
Ongoing Conversion
"The quality of mercy is not strained."
Confession, Penance, Reconciliation have fallen into a bit of a 'black hole' in Catholic practice today. We have just come out of "the golden age" of frequent confession of the 1930-1960s and the pendulum seems to have swung the other way. Catholics seem to have shifted from an attitude that saw Confession to a priest as the only way of being forgiven to a wider understanding of Reconciliation. This in itself is a good thing yet it raises the raw question, 'Who needs to go to a priest for forgiveness; why go to Confession at all?'
In the year 57, St. Paul wrote to the Christians at Corinth:
...if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away: see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, BE RECONCILED TO GOD. See, now is the favourable time; see, now is the day of salvation! ( 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, 6:2b)
To reconcile is to re-unite, to bring back to harmony, to heal division, separation, rupture. The Christian perspective seeks reconciliation with God, with one another, between nations and with our environment.
The life of Jesus was totally dedicated to RECONCILIATION; the life of Christ's faithful, the Church, is to be a symbol of this reconciliation. We are Sacraments of unity, 'Ambassadors for Christ.'
All the sacraments have this reconciliation element.
· BAPTISM initiates a person into the quest for reconciliation. We are immersed in the waters, drowned to disunity and discord, alive to harmony and oneness. We are reconciled to the 'Original' state.
· CONFIRMATION empowers us to live by and to know the strength of the Spirit of God within and opens us to know that God is really alive in us. In the Spirit we hear the Father's words 'you are mine, the beloved, my favour rests on you'. We are gifted 'children of light' who turn AWAY from darkness and serve God's saving plan with our gifts.
· EUCHARIST is the nourishment of our lives 'so that sins may be forgiven'. It is not a reward for being good. It nourishes our quest, our journey, to be perfect, 'compassionate as my heavenly Father is compassionate'.
· MARRIAGE celebrates two people constantly touching one another with the healing love of God in their lives. They seek to resolve any brokenness in relationship, so creating a life of harmony and love.
· ANOINTING OF THE SICK is about a person coming to reconciling hope in their illness so that the destructive power of their illness gives way to new hope and new possibilities even if illness and limitations remains, even if death occurs as a final reconciling healing.
· MINISTRY and ORDER seeks to be a focus of the community's quest for harmony, to be a centre for conflict resolution, to be a symbol of 'Holy Order' in our world.
· RECONCILIATION, as one of the seven sacraments, is a new moment of grace and a time of awareness about our personal and social sin, calling us to remember our Baptismal commitment, our life confirmed in the Spirit, our unity with the Eucharistic people.
And, as well as all sacraments incorporating reconciliation, the Christian tradition and teaching celebrates reconciliation in many ways, apology, prayer, penance. In all this the question about the relevance and necessity of the Sacrament of Reconciliation still remains for many. People are asking this question especially about children and Reconciliation.
The core of its relevance and celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation comes from listening to the Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15. This is Jesus' story of mercy. As we reflect on Luke 15 we see that the Sacrament of Reconciliation ritualises this story. The Sacrament associates us with the story:
· We stand before God as the Son stood before his Father. We do this as 'two gathered in my name' - the penitent and priest. The priest is shepherd, director of our spiritual journey.
· We speak what we have come to know about ourselves, as the son admitted that he had 'mucked-up' (the pig sty image) his life. We speak out; we "exorcise" our sin in the language of our confession.
· We accuse ourselves as the son did – 'I have sinned against heaven and against you'. Neither God nor the priest judge us, we judge ourselves
· We pass sentence on ourselves as the son did – 'I am no longer worthy to be called your son'. Neither God nor the priest sentences us.
· We ask humbly to be taken back into the 'Father's House' as the son did. We have 'come to our senses' and see the sense of God's way of life shown to us in the Gospel of Jesus.
· We experience the compassion of a God who touches us with power and embraces us with energy and loving kindness as the son was embraced and rejoiced over by his understanding Father. The laying on of hands and the prayer of absolution, and the encouragement and direction that the priest offers us are images of this.
· We are challenged to enter more fully into the loving mercy of the Father as the second son was.
By giving us this parable Jesus reveals a new perspective on sin and evil - MERCY rather than JUDGEMENT, UNDERSTANDING rather than CONDEMNATION.
This story has to do with God as Trinity. The Son is one with the Father in the Spirit of Mercy and Love. Jesus calls us to understand the Father/Son relationship in the power of the Spirit. Live always and forever in that 'House' is the invitation of this classic story of Jesus.
To sin is to distance oneself from that relationship as the Prodigal son did, or, like the second son, to refuse the call to enter into the Father's compassion and mercy. All evil is the consequence of the human person trying to come to terms with existence on a basis other than this Parent/Child relationship. The language of confession and the Sacrament of Reconciliation are symbols of the constant response to the call to live in that relationship. In this is the key to discovering how often one ought to seek the sacrament.
As always with sacraments, to see Reconciliation in all its power is to live in the realm of the symbolic and the spirit. Its simple structure gives us a chance to be aware of who we are, standing before God and ourselves and the community's life. We own who we are and seek the spirit of God to be with us, to renew us, to redirect us.
Also, to see the relevance of this Sacrament is to answer questions about its role in our lives. The emphasis has been misunderstood in the past. 'I don't have to go to a priest to be forgiven!' is hardly the issue. The issue is that this sacrament allows a person, within a communal setting, a CONSTANT EXPERIENCE of on-going awareness of Conversion, a turning of life, a changing of mind and heart.
The structure of the Rite of Reconciliation, within a wider understanding of the reconciling mission of the Church, seeks to allow us to do all this. There are three forms of the Sacrament that express both the individual and social aspects of our conversion. The Second form that gathers us together in prayer and then allows for each person to individually approach a priest seems to best express the communal and personal nature of Reconciliation.
This communal aspect of sacramental life is especially challenging in these times as we are challenged to social as well as personal responses to the Gospel. The church is seeking to clarify its own identity in this time of history and in many cultural situations. It is clarifying its mission as it constantly converts itself and challenges each cultural system and its values to bring about the 'new creation' that is 'all God's work'.
In all these forms of the sacrament of Reconciliation
- we stand before God in hope as the priest welcomes us and encourages us;
- We examine our consciousness about our experience of God breaking in to our lives;
- We seek to accept the values of the Kingdom;
- We ask God to enter into those areas of our lives where Jesus is still not Lord;
- We ask to be welcomed again into the 'Father's House';
- We pray in sorrow and for the Spirit to be on us in a fresh way so that we are a symbol of God's compassion and mercy (cf. the second son in the Prodigal Son parable).
There are three Rites of Reconciliation
1. Rite for the Reconciliation of Individual Penitents.
2. Rite for Reconciliation of Several Penitents with Individual Confession and Absolution.
3. Rite for Reconciliation with General Confession and Absolution.
This overview of the Sacrament according to the 1973 revision gives us the personal and social dimensions of Conversions and Reconciliation.
Perhaps the best expression of these two dimensions is found in the Second form – a gathering of the Community where there is Individual Confession and Absolution.
We are still very much in the process of rediscovering the power and beauty of this sacrament.

Winter is here and with it comes sudden changes in weather and changes in water conditions. Outdoor enthusiasts including fishermen need to pay attention to these changes. Storms can happen quickly so fishermen or fisherwomen need to keep in touch with the weather service. Enjoy yourself but remember alcohol alters your judgment. So use it sparingly while enjoying the outdoors. Keep an eye on the weather as conditions such as temperature, wind, fire and precipitation including snow can come on in fierce strength very fast. The strength and depth of ice can change very quickly please watch for any changes. This report is compiled on Monday and Tuesday and reflects conditions and results of fishing from the past week. If you wish other information feel free to contact most parties for current daily information. Good luck fishing from the Montana Outdoor Radio Crew.
Rock Creek Marina-Bill 1-406-485-2560
Linda reports, " We had another good weekend fishing. Fishermen caught northern pike and trout. No walleye were caught. Some ling were also caught. Minnows and smelt is what they are using to catch them. Guys were fishing in our bay or at Little Bug. We still have drifting on the road so until we get it plowed again you can only reach us by coming on the North Rock Creek side. There were a bunch of fishermen ice fishing along the ridge on the north side and doing okay I hear. We would still recommend you call about the road. "
Tongue River Reservoir Raymond /Spencer/ Greg
Raymond said," There is still plenty of ice. We have 15 to 20 inches. I am hearing the crappie bite is hit and miss. No one I talked to caught any pike. They are still using minnows to catch fish. There is still 6 inches of snow on the ice. The roads in the park are cleared off and the roads in are fins. "
Some of the campgrounds have been shut down of electricity. Campers point north has electricity. That is the camp site closest to the marina. The cleaning station is closed. The water is turned off. There is no water at the dump site and in the campgrounds. The boat inspection site is closed.
Tongue River Marina 1-406-757-2225 Wade, Stephanie, Greg /Warden Jordan Staley
Wade reports," We will be open this weekend. We still have 20 inches of ice. Only a few northern have been caught this week . They are catching some perch but more crappies. The smaller minnow is still working better. "
The Marina is open Friday, Sat and Sunday. Our hours will be 6 am to noon each day. I am getting minnows right now. I will have worms. Mill worms, tackle, beer, pop and snacks. Check out Tongue River Marina on Facebook. This year there will be no vending machine for minnows.
Hell Creek Marina- Clint Thomas-Layne 1-406- 557-2345
Clint says," fishing slowed down this week. We have had fishermen this week. The walleye bite is not as good. A few northern pike were caught. We are seeing a few lake trout so they have moved here. They are at 2 feet to 30 inches deep. We still have good ice. There is 30 inches of ice at Southerland. I think we still have good ice fishing still coming. Snow mobiles would be the best thing to use. We have several pressure ridges so check with us for details. There are two in the bay and two out on the main. "
The Marina is open 7 days a week, 7 am to 6 pm.
Lake Ridge Motel Eddie and Carrie Mindt 1-406-526-3597
Carrie says, "fishing has been slow here but we hear Rock Creek is picking up. We are seeing, more lake trout being caught. They are jigging for them. The bite is not great right now but it should pick up. You have to have a 4 wheeler and have chains right now on it. Feel free to call to see how conditions are. Wind is still a factor. The ice depths are 24 inches. "
We do have minnows, hooks, floaters, full suckers, wax and meal worms and white and pink maggots here for the guys to use. Our hours are 7am-6 pm Monday through Sunday. "
Cooney Reservoir – Marina Matheson.
Marina reports," there is snow on the ice but you can tell that it is melting. You can see spots where you now can see that the ice is showing in places. Snow is still mostly over the full lake right now. It is not melting in a lot of places but with the warm weather it may become more. It is not pulling away from shore yet. I did see someone out fishing yesterday (Tuesday) but there is no one out there today. Conditions will be rapidly changing if it stays warm. It is icy on the road in the morning and muddy the rest of the day. The road to Fisherman's point is open. Guys are driving in through Overlook as they have packed down the road drifts. Cottonwood is still closed. "
Lake Elmo FWP Bob Gibson
Guys are out there fishing. The ice conditions are still okay. They are still catching perch. There is less snow on the ice. Guys have been using everything from corn to cut worms and crawlers. There is 8 to 12 inches of ice . It is walk on only.
Deadmans Tony Stefani
Pat says," people are getting in to fish. We have not heard if they caught anything. Due to the melting going on the road is very muddy. There is no grave on the road. We are personally still dealing with some drifting at our house. Wind is always a factor to pay attention to. "
Deadmans/Martinsdale Cozy Corner Bar Lavina 406-636-22
Terry says," I had a few people head to Martinsdale. They did not do well. It was too windy. I also had a couple of guys go to Bair. They said the fishing was fair and got a few. They said the ice is thick like 24 inches. "
Checkerboard Inn Checkerboard, MT Rick and Judy Geordge 406-572-3373
Judy says, "We fished on Bair again this weekend. There were some people out fishing. The bite was slow again. There was not much of a bite. We got 3 fish. I did not get a bite. We are using worms and maggots. The warm weather had some people pulling their ice houses off. Partly because they were from Billings and could not check conditions and know what was happening because of the warmer weather. The road is better you can even see some bare spots. "
Don's Lewistown-Dale 1-800-879-8194
Dale says, "We still have lots of snow. So much snow you can't get to places to fish. You can't get away from the wind. The only place you can get to fish is Achley. They are catching nice 2 pound rainbows there. "
Crooked Creek Marina Winnett, Montana James (Slim) and Abbie Craig 406-429-2999
**As of right now I am still trying to get a report. I will update when my calls have been returned. I have heard that the county plans on clearing the snow but can not say when or if it has happened. Stay tuned for further information as I will update the report.*** (Wednesday 1:00 pm)
Slim says, "We are still closed. With the snow and drifting it is impossible to get to Crooked Creek because of the snow. The Marina cannot be accessed so it IS closed right now. The road is not plowed. I do not advise trying to go in with a snow mobile either. There will be no services and no one will be there. Pay attention to Facebook for any changes. "
Silos Canyon Ferry-Sharon
Sharon says," the ice and fishing is good unlike Billings and other places. The ice is still at 2 feet. It is still good on the edges. I would say fishing is medium to good right now. People are getting perch and some walleye. The perch do seem to be starting to move south. There are still pressure ridges. Just go around but don't go over them. Check at the marina for details. "
The Marina is open. Hours are 7 am to 7 pm. We still are making and selling sandwiches at the Marina.
West Side Sports Jim Mayer 1-406-654-1611
Jim says," it is still hard to get on Nelson to fish. There is 2 feet of snow. Way too much of it. You absolutely need a track vehicle or snowmobile. You will need chains. The guys are catching walleye early in the morning and in the evening. At Forchette there is also a lot of snow but if you can get in you can catch some nice big northern pike. Mostly on the bay I hear. Snowmobiles are definitely needed. "
Stop by the store. We do have bait, minnows and crawlers here if you need them. Shop hours are 8 to 6 Monday to Saturday and closed on Sunday"
Billings-Scheels Jayce, Tanner, Dan, Matt
Matt said," the weather kept people in. So not much to report.
Big Horn- I am hearing fishing is going well on the Big Horn. They are catching some trout.
No other news to report."
Rich's Tackle Richard 406-285-4540
Rich says, " The Rivers are open now. All three rivers, the Madison, Jefferson and Gallatin are open. The Missouri is open below Totson. I talked to some guys who did the Dry Arm at Nelson Creek and caught 2 walleye in 3 days. That was it. So we need to see what happens with this warmer weather and the ice. I have not even heard how Canyon Ferry is right now. "
Stillwater Anglers-Chris 406-322-4977 ,Bill
" We are seeing some melting . It will definitely be interesting to see what happens with the ice. We do have some ice jams that could melt with the warm weather. I went to check Holgrem. It still had ice. When the snow melts it does not go away as the ground is still frozen. It has been 18 degrees at night. Use the break to tie flies so you are ready for spring. You can book your trips for later now ," Chris says.
Montana Adventures and Angling in Fort Smith Beau McFadyean 406-855-3612
Beau says, " I went fishing on the Bighorn and it was good fishing. It was clear almost all the way. Soap Creek is muddy. The cfs is up. The water is clearer. There was a great midge hatch. The fish are on the surface. Try nymphing using a sow bug or a tiny midge. The water is super cold so dress appropriately. Wading even with layers is still really cold. Look at the Missouri it should be getting to be good fishing right now. Try it when it is sunny and warm. "
Big Horn Trout Shop Fort Smith 666-2375
Don reports ," the fishing is real good. Actually real good. We have had guided trips this week. So the season is picking up. Word has it that fishing is fair but chilly. The water is clearer. Fishing is better at almost noon or early afternoon. The cfs is 5000. The water is 39 degrees. Try nymphs in size 18 to 20. Use sow bugs right now. Fishing with streamers is good. We have been seeing a midges hatch at 3 mile late morning or early afternoon when the wind is not blowing. "
Our winter hours are 8 am to noon all week.
Riverside Anglers in West Yellowstone : Alice Owsley, fishing guide and outfitter 406-640-1698
Madison River
Alice reports, " conditions are right and these nice calm days are allowing midges to hatch and the fish are eager to eat them. Try a flashy midge pattern below a larger stonefly nymph will bring some trout to hand. Use streamers in the deeper water. Try olive patterns for the best results.
Remember to stay off the redds, if rainbows are staging to spawn, leave them alone. "

Subject: Is DB2/400 still the correct terminology fo DB2 on the IBM i?
To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I had the great pleasure of being a a SUG where Trevor Perry made it quite
clear that AS/400 and iSeries were no longer acceptable terms (unless your
dealing with older hardware of course). I also see on the IBM page its
referred to as *IBM DB2 for i*. That's a bit of a mouthful.
Is DB2/400 still considered acceptable? Should I say DB2 for i when I want
to be brief?

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A decomposing body was found Tuesday at one of San Francisco's major tourist sites, Pier 39, authorities said.
The San Francisco Fire Department tweeted at 10:30 a.m. that the body was found in the water near the winding pier filled with shops, restaurants and other attractions.
San Francisco police were investigating the death, according to fire officials.
A police boat crew was able to pull the body from the water and determined it was that of a male. The medical examiner's office was looking into the person's identity and will conduct an autopsy to determine how he died, police said.

While we typically wouldn't post a trailer for an upcoming episode of a web series, Josh Brolin's appearance on Jeff Grosso's Loveletters to Skateboarding is worth mentioning. When it comes to Hollywood celebrities, it doesn't get more A-list than Brolin. He's appeared in some of our favorites over the years, including: The Goonies, No Country for Old Men, American Gangster, and many more. And, of course, we can't for get about Thrashin'—the 1986 film that would set the stage for all of the skateboarding-related movies that would come after it. The new season of Loveletters premieres tomorrow on Vans' YouTube Channel. We'll update when this episode is live.

It's baaack! @GrossoSucks' Loveletters returns bigger and better then ever with celebrity appearances, special effects, and more. Catch the first episode of Season 10 this Thursday, April 18th at youtube.com/vans and don't worry we'll link you up properly here once it's live.

We previously posted about this project in 2007 in a post called Eye-bot, and boy has a lot happened since then.
Swarmanoid is a research collaboration between various European agencies like the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS) and is funded by the European Commission.
The latest Swarmanoid video just won an award from the AAAI 2011 Video Competition. Check after the break for the video.
The Swarmanoid project continues to expand on the work of the Swarm-bots project. The Eye-bot, the Foot-bot and the Hand-bot all work together to comprise the elements of the Swarmanoid project.
The Foot-bot is the basic wheeled foot soldier in this operation. They can dock with each other and dock with as well as carry the Hand-bot.
The Eye-bot is a quadrotor capable of sticking to the ceiling and is the eyes of the project.
The Hand-bot can dock with the Foot-bot, use it's two grippers to climb and also has a rope laucher that can attach to the ceiling.
All three different robots can communicate with each other and work in harmony to retrieve a book from a book shelf. Quite amazing work here.

Canister Vacuum Reviews:Canister vacuum cleaners are the preferred choice of homeowners with hardwood floors since they clean better on that surface than upright vacuums do. A standard canister vacuum has a cleaning path width from 12 to 15 inches and the ideal selection for people with more than 50% hardwood floors in their house. A canister vacuum can do much more than just clean hardwoods, they are great on stairs, drapery, upholstery, and shelving. You will have the option of going bagless, which is what most experts agree is the best decision. If you will be vacuuming on carpets, make sure you find a model that has a power brush nozzle which works great on carpets (not all come with this). Common attachments should be a dusting brush, bare floor brush, a wand, and upholstery or crevice tools. Other features to consider are buying a model with an edge cleaner for difficult to reach corners, a long electrical cord (over 15'), a True-HEPA filter system that will cut down on allergens in your home, and a hose that is over 5 feet so you aren't so attached to the canister/base.
Canister vacuums are gaining ground on the ever popular upright vacuums because features like the powerhead brush roll that allow the canister to function like an upright yet it can be turned off so you can safely clean bare floors. The biggest advantage of the canister vacuum is that it can transition from carpets to wood or tile floors every easily. Also, many users say you get a more thorough cleaning with the canister vacuum than you would with the upright. The tools and attachments on the canister let you dust furniture, vacuum bathroom and kitchen tile floors, clean car upholstery, and even computer equipment. I personally own a canister vacuum and an upright and essentially use them for specific cleaning chores. The top brand names for canister vacuum cleaners are Hoover, Eureka, Miele, Bosch, Electrolux, Dirt Devil, Dyson and Oreck. The Miele and Bosch canister vacuums are expensive imports from Europe and cost much more than our brands in America, although they rated very well in consumer reviews. We thought that Dyson and Oreck would have scored better in consumer feedback, but surprisingly the reviews were very mixed (both positive and negative) so we have left their top models off of our "best of" list below. You should be able to buy a budget canister vacuum for less than $100 (won't get all the bells and whistles), while the mid-range canister vacuums cost will be closer to $200. We researched the most popular and best selling brands online at Amazon.com, read Consumer Reports latest feedback on canister vacuum cleaners, and read comments in online forums for vacuums to determine just which models delivered the best cleaning powerful for the fairest price. See our results below. You can view the list of best-selling canister vacuums here.
Best Canister Vacuum:There were actually 3 models that stood out to us as the best overall canister vacuums for the price. The Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum ($230) is top rated and gets unbelievably positive praise from almost all reviewers. The bagless canister vacuum features WindTunnel technology for the most efficient cleaning. The powerful Hoover works well on both floors and carpets, and the finger-touch variable speed control lets you instantly power-up or tone down the suction. Comes with a HEPA filter and a 1 year warranty. Perfect for those with pets and having to clean up endless amounts of dog or cat hair from hardwoods or tile flooring. The 2nd selection in this category is the Electrolux EL6985A Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister Vacuum ($200) with a telescopic wand for cleaning all those hard to reach areas of your house, office or car (all Electrolux models here). You can quickly adjust the vacuum to handle various floor surfaces with the motor speed control and turbo nozzle. Owners say this vacuum performs "brilliantly" and they love the "design and simplicity" of the Electrolux. Users also say it is perhaps one of the quietest canister vacuums they have ever used. Lastly, the Kenmore Progressive 25615 ($300) is slightly more expensive than the Hoover and Electrolux listed above, but you get features like a HEPA filter (great for people who suffer from allergies), a full-bag indicator so you always know when to dump the dust/dirt bin, and a brush roll that can be turned off when you want to vacuum bare floors. Owners say the Kenmore works great on upholstery and stairs, using the attachments and hand tools. Since the Hoover came in at the cheapest price with the best overall performance, we would recommend that model over the others.
High End Canister Vacuum:Miele makes some of the more expensive canister vacuums you will find anywhere with some priced as high as $1200. We wanted to focus our attention on the Miele S4210 Antares S4 Galaxy Series Canister Vacuum Cleaner ($480) because it still delivers exceptional performance at a much cheaper price than say the Miele S558 Red Velvet ($1200). The Antares has dial power controls that range from 200 to 1200 watts and a suction control on a rotary dial. The six power levels let you switch between bare floors, rugs, and carpets without missing a beat. The filter system is 2nd to none and owners say the maneuverability makes it simple to pull around your house. The Miele is both powerful and lightweight leaving you feeling less tired after doing all the household vacuuming say many users (view all Miele models here) . The Bosch Formula Electro Duo is another expensive model that gets great customer reviews and is worth a look if you want to compare the Miele to something in a similar price range.
Budget Canister Vacuum:The Eureka 3670 Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum ($80) is a "great value" say almost all the reviews we read online. It's a lightweight 9 amp canister vacuum that efficiently cleans your bare-floor surfaces. Comes equipped with a bare-floor nozzle, deluxe floor brush, and fingertip controls. The 20 foot cords lets you vacuum up a wide range of flooring without having to move or unplug the canister. There is even an auto shut-off that will protect this unit from overheating. Your on board tools include a crevice tool, upholstery nozzle, and a dusting brush. The Mighty Mite has large, easy roll wheels and maneuvers through furniture with no hassles. Owners say this canister vacuum beats out any upright in terms of sucking up dust and dirt on hardwood floors and it's powerful enough to clean wool rugs. The one issue we found against the Eureka canister vacuum is that finding replacement vacuum bags can be a bit difficult. Many people say they had to go online to find the proper bags that fit the vacuum since local stores didn't carry them. Otherwise, the vacuum works "like a charm" and gets good results.

Interview Test # 2:Job Interview of an Equity Analyst
Team LatteMarch 23, 2007
This is a rough and a partial transcript of a job interview of an equity analyst. The interviewer was the Head of Research in the investment banking division of a bank in Hong Kong and the interviewee had three years of experience after completing his CPA. He is also a CFA charter holder.
Interviewer's Question :
A property deal is about to take place. An investment bank is preparing a bid to acquire an important landmark building in Hong Kong for US$100 million. The building is around 7 years old and the expected operating income from the building in the next year is US$3 million. The rental yield in central Hong Kong is around 5%. The free cash flows that will be generated from the building will be $1 million for the next year and it is expected to grow at the rate of 10%. Is this a good deal for the bank?
Candidate's Answer :
No, it is not a good deal. The sale price - the amount that the bank is bidding is too high. The capitalization rate is 3% as opposed to the rental yield of 5%.
Our Comment :
The candidate is spot on. One of the first things that you look for in any property deal is the capitalization rate - operating income divided by the sale price - and compare that to the return. It is somewhat like comparing the cost of cost of capital with the internal rate of return of a project. However, in the problem the rental yield is given, which may or may not be exactly equal to the return calculation. Of course, a detailed analysis of valuation can be done using free cash flow valuation method but in an interview that is not possible.
You are analyzing a listed company and a lot of information is given, including the projected (forward) next year's P/E ratio, which is say 15. Also given are the figures for EBITDA, which is $20 million, long term debt of $200 million, equity capital of $350 million, and free reserves of $10 million.How would you calculate the cost of equity very roughly from the above?
It is difficult to explicitly compute the cost of equity from the above. If it is a listed company then one way to compute the cost of equity is to use a CAPM model with the value of beta, market return and the risk free rate.
If you take the inverse of P/E ratio you can get a sense for the value of cost of equity. This is a quick and dirty method. If the P/E is 15 then a rough value for the cost of equity of the firm is 6.67%. On way to look at this is that the higher the price earning ratio the lower will be the cost of equity as it gets easier for the company to pay less and raise more from the market.
A company is planning to revalue some of its assets by 20% due to inflation in the property prices. How will it affect the balance sheet of the company? Does this mean that the valuation of the company will increase?
Since the assets are revalued the balance sheet will become bigger. But unless the company sells the assets right away this does not bring in any cash to the shareholders. The revaluation of the assets will show up as revaluation reserve on the liabilities side, so even if the balance sheet gets bigger there is no available reserve to the shareholders. If you are valuing the company based solely on its assets value then surely the valuation of the company will go up. However, what matters is how much of an added cash flow will be generated due to this revaluation (other things being equal) which will then change the discounted cash flow value of the company.
In our opinion this answer is truly as good as it gets.
(With a broad smile......) What is broken with DCF analysis? How do you fix it? .
I am not sure what you are talking about. Are you talking about the flaws in DCF valuation models? There are a couple that I can point out, such as the choice of discount factor and the treatment of free cash flows, etc. Is that what you are asking?
This is actually a cryptic question. "What is broken with DCF analysis?" Not sure we can answer this question either. Perhaps everything. Company valuation process using CAPM and DCF methods are static and deterministic. But we believe that a company survives, does well, defaults or decays according to a random phenomenon, which is at best approximated by analyzing the randomness surrounding a company's earnings and cash flows, plus many other things, such as stock price, debt level. In other words, volatility of earnings, cash flows, equity prices and asset prices is the key. Randomness is modeled in a stochastic framework by using volatility. But then that is far, far away from any conventional equity analysis
Suppose an analyst makes a forecast of 10 cents as the EPS of a company for the next year. This year's EPS was 8 cents and the next years actual EPS turns out to be 18 cents. How would you rate the analyst's forecasts?
The interviewee did not give us his answers
This relates to Thiel's inequality coefficient (TIC) and the mean squared forecast error. Both these concepts are popular and widely used by analysts and institutional investors

Georgia Military College began offering classes at Robins Air Force Base in 1989. For the first few quarters, Executive Director COL John Elliott and an administrative assistant were the only two full-time employees. Only about 15 classes were offered for a few dozen active duty military and civil service employees. COL Elliott envisioned that GMC-Warner Robins would be a college campus where students of all types could earn an affordable quality education. As course and degree offerings expanded, students responded; by the early 2000s, GMC-Warner Robins needed a building to call its own.
In 2003, Elliott Hall opened at 801 Duke Avenue, in a business park just off North Davis Drive, roughly a mile from Robins AFB and easily accessible via Watson Boulevard from I-75 or GA Hwy 247. Growth continued throughout the decade, resulting in an expansion of Elliott Hall in 2005.
The Administrative Building opened in 2011 across the student parking lot from Elliott Hall. In June 2013, the Administrative Building was renamed in honor of MG Peter J. Boylan, for his twenty-one years of service as President of Georgia Military College and support of the Warner Robins campus.
Boylan Hall now serves as a starting point for new students, with offices for Admission, Registrar Services, Financial Aid, Business Office, and Bookstore services. Elliott Hall is primarily an academic building, including the Advising Center, Testing Center, Library, Writing Center, and Math Tutoring Center, as well as classrooms and labs.
GMC's office at Robins AFB is still available to students with access to the base, and is conveniently located down the hall from the Robins AFB Education Office in the lower level of Building 905 (the library building on Ninth Street).
Today, GMC-Warner Robins is one of the fastest-growing college campuses in Middle Georgia, with more than 180 classes offered each quarter to support more than 1,350 students. Convenient schedules are offered for traditional and non-traditional students with day, evening, weekend classes, online classes, and smaller class sizes for better instruction.
In 2012, 2013, and 2014 readers of macon.com and The Telegraph voted GMC-Warner Robins "Best of the Best" College or University in Middle Georgia. GMC-Warner Robins has been selected as a Military Friendly School every year since 2012.
In addition to the administrative services provided at Boylan Hall, various academic services and resources are available at Elliott Hall.
The Admissions Office is located at the front desk of Boylan Hall. Services are available to prospective, current, and former students and include guidance to complete admissions requirements, issuing student IDs and parking decals, campus tours, and much more.
The Advising Center is located at the front desk of Elliott Hall. Services are available to students admitted to GMC and include advisement, registration for classes, evaluation of degree applications, and much more.
The Advising Center also provides academic testing services for newly admitted students as well as established GMC students who must complete out-of-class tests in order to graduate. When the Testing Center computer lab is not in use for academic testing, it is open to students as a quiet study area.
For more information on GMC advising, see the "Academic Affairs" section of the catalog. For office hours and information specific to the Warner Robins campus, visit http://www.gmc.edu and view the "Advising Center" under the "Academics" section.
The Bookstore is located in Boylan Hall. At GMC-Warner Robins, tuition includes the use of textbooks for on-campus classes. The Bookstore is where students pick up and return their textbooks. Students may also purchase novelties and school supplies in the Bookstore.
The Business Office is located in Boylan Hall across the hall from the Admissions Office and the Bookstore. Services include any guidance related to student finances. Financial Aid advisors are available to assist with applying for financial aide such as scholarships, grants, and loans, to receive payments for tuition and other fees, and to provide information on tuition and fees.
For more information on financial aid and student finances at GMC, see the "Financial Information" section of the catalog. For office hours and information specific to the Warner Robins campus, visit http://www.gmc.edu and view "Financial Aid" under the "Current Students" section.
The Student Center at Elliott Hall serves as a common area for students between classes or anytime GMC-Warner Robins is open. It is accessible directly from the student parking lot through the glass double doors in the center of the building.
The Student Center includes the Security Desk, Lost and Found, a gaming area, TV, vending machines, complimentary coffee offered several times daily, seating, and tables. Students are also encouraged to recycle used paper, plastic, and aluminum in the appropriate bins in the Student Center or Advising Center lobby.
The Library is accessible from the Student Center and provides access to online library resources such as Gale, GALILEO, the Georgia Career Information System, and much more. While classes are in session, the Library is open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Thursday, and 9:00 am to 12:00 pm Friday and Saturday.
The Writing Center (Room 226) and Math Tutoring Center (Room 104) offer free tutoring for GMC-Warner Robins' students throughout each quarter. GMC-Warner Robins' tutors have years of professional experience in their areas of expertise, and many of them teach classes at GMC. Tutoring is also available for natural sciences, history, accounting, Spanish, and other areas.
Tutoring begins on the first Wednesday of each quarter and continues through the final week. To view tutoring hours and more information online, visit http://www.gmc.edu and choose "Academic Support" under "Academics." Click on "Tutoring" to view the current term's tutoring schedule.

MotionDSP, a provider of digital video technology, has announced Ikena Copyright, a copyright detection technology that matches content solely on the video content. Ikena Copyright uses a (patent-pending) component of MotionDSP's military-grade video enhancement technology. As opposed to audio-matching methods, MotionDSP's technology creates a 'video fingerprint' by tracking the motion characteristics of the video.
Features of Ikena Copyright include: a video signature system that stands up to many 'attacks' such as: editing where it can identify clips as small as 20 seconds; low-bitrate compression where it can identify clips that have been re-encoded (i.e.: from their native format to Adobe Flash internet video); aspect ratio change from 16:9 content compressed into a 4:3 display, or 4:3 stretched to 16:9; cropping the sides of a video; and video quality change so Ikena Copyright can identify videos which have been converted to B+W, or had their color distorted. Ikena Copyright has been designed to scale to a very large database of content, operating on a high volume of matching (i.e.: a database of thousands of hours of copyrighted video, matching tens of thousands of uploaded videos per day).

Google first announced back in 2015 that mobile searches in 10 countries, including the U.S., officially out-numbered traditional Google searches on desktops. As a result, mobile commerce (called m-commerce) has been a growing force. And businesses, large and small, followed suit.
Now, in the year 2017, having a website that isn't mobile-friendly means kissing leads and customers goodbye. In order to stay competitive in the current market, businesses need to create user-friendly purchasing journeys and tailor user engagement based on what device is being used. If a certain company doesn't follow this golden rule, then its competitor will, while taking customers with it.
Not only are people using their smartphones and tablets to browse the Internet, but they're commonly on apps. In 2015, Yahoo developers put out a report showing that 90 percent of people's time spent on their mobile device is spent utilizing apps.
While it's necessary to make sure your company's website is mobile-friendly, it's equally important to ask your team if your business could benefit from a mobile app.
Smartphones are everywhere, and as time goes by the number of new mobile phone apps grows exponentially. As new and more useful mobile apps appear on the market, businesses and individuals are now using their smartphones more than ever before.
There are now more tasks that people can complete today with their phone than ever before - such as E-mail, banking, editing documents, creating invoices, etc. People can now take their work wherever they are without having to sit down on full-size computer.
If you're a small business owner, you might ask yourself the question: "Should I build a regular website and/or build a mobile app"?
The answer to this important business and marketing question depends on the type of business you have, what your online goals are, and of course your time frame and budget.
In order to decide what's the best option for your business, let's first explore what the differences are.
A website is a portal on the world wide web (www) that can be accessed from anywhere around the world through a web browser. Today, both computers and smartphones have web browsers, Any device that's connected to the Internet can access the site.
Today's modern website may be developed in order to be "Responsive", which means that the layout, size and content of a web page will adapt and change based on the size of the screen it is being viewed at. Visitors will have the best possible user experience on your website regardless of where he/she is accessing it.
Example: Let's say a person sees a responsive website in full screen and it contains 3 columns of content, which looks good on a normal screen. When the same site is accessed on a mobile phone, those 3 columns will show up stacked on top of each other (instead of next to each other as columns), so that the user can clearly read the contents of each column. Yet, if that same website was "non-responsive" and the user accessed it through a smartphone, the user would see 3 tiny columns on the screen (same layout as the normal screen), which he probably wouldn't be able to read in his tiny phone screen. In that case, the user would have to zoom-in (pinch the screen) to see each column in detail - which diminishers a positive user experience on the site.
To some degree, today's responsive websites actually look very similar to mobile apps - when accessed on smartphone - without actually being one. This is a key point to consider when evaluating this as an option.
Mobile apps (or Applications) are basically software developed for your mobile phone, including smartphones - which today are more like mini-computers with calling capabilities using one of the built-in Apps used to make phone calls.
There are three types of apps: Native, Hybrid and HTML5/Javascript.

I realize that this blog is almost always about hockey. But allow me today to spend some space on the subject of domestic abuse.
I have been involved in the founding of two charities, one at the Regina Leader-Post and the other at the now-dead Kamloops Daily News, that worked to help shelters for abused women and their children.
That has at least something to do with why I didn't understand when Roger Goodell, the boss of all things NFL, chose to whisper in the ear of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice seven months ago, rather than suspend him for a long, long time.
The NFL, as you will have heard by now, indefinitely suspended Rice on Monday. The Ravens then released him.
Seven months ago, a video surfaced of Rice dragging his unconscious soon-to-be wife out of an elevator in a New Jersey casino. That video was taken from outside the elevator. Eventually, Goodell suspended Rice for the first two games of this regular season.
On Monday, TMZ released video from inside the elevator. It shows, among other things, Rice dropping his soon-to-be wife with a hard left hand.
Why Goodell didn't suspend Rice indefinitely immediately upon seeing the first video is the $64-billion question. After all, as Goodell was watching that first video, how did he think Rice's soon-to-be wife came to be in that condition?
Anyway . . .
There is some good reading available on this issue today.
Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post wonders about the NFL's claim that no one in its office had seen the video from inside the elevator until Monday morning.
"That is almost surely not the truth, unless the NFL wanted it that way," she writes. "This is a league that works with Homeland Security, confers with the Drug Enforcement Agency, collaborates with law enforcement and has its own highly equipped and secretive private security arm. You're telling me it couldn't get a hold of a grainy tape from an Atlantic City casino elevator? But TMZ could?"
Her column is right here.
In light of the indefinite suspension handed to Rice, Christine Brennan of USA TODAY wonders why players like Ray McDonald of the San Francisco 49ers, Greg Hardy of the Carolina Panthers and Terrell Suggs of the Ravens, each of whom has been involved or is alleged to have been involved in a domestic abuse situation, haven't been suspended in the same fashion. "(Suggs) played Sunday for the Ravens in their loss to the Cincinnati Bengals," Brennan writes. "Why? Was it because there's no video? Of course it was. And he'll be playing this Thursday night on national television against the Pittsburgh Steelers, even though he shouldn't be, at least according to the NFL's new Rice standards, as of today." . . . Brennan's column is right here.
Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun writes that "to understand what did happen, you have to understand the public relations power, and influence, and the almost unbelievable tone-deafness of one of the most intimidating sports leagues in the world. Until TMZ leaked the surveillance tape Monday morning, that is." . . . His column is right here.
Cathal Kelly of The Globe and Mail:
"The NFL will try to quickly move the focus back onto the field. That will probably work. A lot of people howl about the NFL's wobbly moral compass, and most of them watch 12 hours of football every Sunday.
"What won't survive is our presumption of the league's basic goodness. We assume that most right-minded people would watch that video and be shocked into action.
"Apparently, the NFL was not."
Kelly's column is right here.
THE DEAL: The Saskatoon Blades get F Josh Uhrich, 18, from the Moose Jaw Warriors for a fourth-round selection in the 2015 bantam draft.
THE SKINNY: Uhrich, from Rosetown, Sask., played for the midget AAA Saskatoon Contacts, who finished third at the TELUS Cup national tournament in 2012. He had 10 goals and 14 assists in 126 regular-season games over two seasons with the Warriors. Uhrich was a second-round draft pick of the Warriors in 2011.
THE ANALYSIS: The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Uhrich hasn't shown much offensive flair, but he brings sandpaper to the Blades' lineup as they strive to become more difficult to play against. . . . The Warriors, who also dealt F Colton McCarthy, 18, to the Prince Albert Raiders on the weekend, have cleared room for some younger forwards. . . . A stick tap to the Warriors, too, for giving a couple of players who weren't going to make their roster opportunities to stay in the WHL despite having to trade within their own division to do so.
The Kamloops Blazers have their roster at 27, including three goaltenders and eight defencemen, after releasing two veterans -- D Austin Douglas, 18, and F Nathan Looysen, 18 -- on Monday. . . . The 6-foot-6, 195-pound Douglas, from Winnipeg, was acquired last season from the Seattle Thunderbirds, who had selected him in the second round of the 2011 bantam draft. Last season, he had one assist in 13 games with Seattle and one goal in 22 games with Kamloops. . . . Looysen, from Saanichton, B.C., had two goals and seven assists in 57 games as a freshman with the Blazers.
The Kamloops Blazers don't have a whole lot left from last season's trade in which they sent G Taran Kozun, then 19, to the Seattle Thunderbirds. . . . Moving to Kamloops in that Jan. 10 deadline-day deal were G Justin Myles, 18, D Austin Douglas, 17, and a fourth-round pick in the 2015 bantam draft. . . . Douglas was released on Monday, while Myles, who reported to the Blazers with a brain injury, never did play in Kamloops. Instead, he was dealt to the Lethbridge Hurricanes over the summer for a fourth-round pick in the 2015 bantam draft. That pick reverted to Kamloops when Myles was forced to retire before reporting to the Hurricanes. . . . Kamloops also got a fourth-round pick in the 2015 bantam draft in the exchange with Seattle, and later, with Myles unable to play, was given a fourth-round pick in 2016 as compensation. . . . Meanwhile, Kozun, now 20, is Seattle's starting goaltender. In 24 regular-season games with Seattle last season, he was 14-9-1/2.40/.928 with four shutouts. In 29 games with the Blazers, he had been 5-19-3/3.95/.897.
The Prince George Cougars got down to 29 players, including three goaltenders, by releasing six players on Monday. That included veteran G Adam Beukeboom, 20, who had been acquired from the Vancouver Giants on Jan. 9 for a seventh-round pick in the 2016 bantam draft. . . . Beukeboom, who played in 19 games with the Regina Pats in 2011-12, was 5-8-0/4.25/,887 in 14 appearances with the Cougars last season. . . . As a 20-year-old this season, Beukeboom was up against it as Ty Edmonds, 18, is expected to be the Cougars' starter. Beukeboom, who is from Sundre, Alta., played only 29 minutes in the exhibition season and stopped all 18 shots he faced. . . . The move leaves the Cougars with Edmonds, Matt Kustra, 17, and Tavin Grant, 16, as their goaltenders.
The Vernon Vipers are looking for a general manager and head coach, having revealed that Jason Williamson has vacated both positions. Williamson, who cited personal reasons in leaving, had been GM and head coach for three seasons and had been with the Vipers for the past seven seasons. He also played three seasons with the Vipers. . . . "Jason has
decided he needs some time away from the game to get his affairs in order and I respect that," owner Duncan Wray said in a news release. "He has been great for our hockey club and will be missed, however we must move forward." . . . Assistant coach Kevin Kraus has been named interim head, while Eric Godard, the other assistant coach, will take a more active role. . . . The Vipers open their regular season on Sept. 27. . . . Williamson spent four seasons working alongside Mark Ferner, who was then the Vipers' GM and head coach. When Ferner signed as head coach of the WHL's Everett Silvertips, prior to the 2011-12 season, Williamson was promoted. . . . Ferner now is preparing for his second season as an assistant coach with the Kamloops Blazers.
Gordon Clark works in the newsroom at the Vancouver Province. He also is the president of a minor hockey association. In Monday's Province, Clark offered up what the headline referred to as "some humble advice for hockey parents for the new season." . . . "Complain loudly and often about all aspects of your kids' hockey program," Clark writes. "Nothing motivates volunteer coaches, managers and others who give hundreds of hours of their lives each year so that your son or daughter can lace 'em up to improve like a constant stream of tips, critiques and observations. Keep them on their toes!" . . . That piece is right here.
"It doesn't matter the sport, the area of concussion is now one of the burning issues globally yet many sporting bodies appear as confused and dazed as any player on the receiving end of a blow to the head," writes Declan Whooley at independent.ie. . . . His complete story is right here.
"Casey Cochran's college football career is over before it really got going. A series of concussions forced him to quit," writes Desmond Conner of the Hartford Courant. . . . Cochran had been the starting quarterback for the U of Connecticut Huskies. The school announced Monday that Cochran, who incurred his fourth concussion on Aug. 29, won't play again. . . . Conner's story is right here.
D Austin Shmoorkoff of Edmonton has been assigned by the Red Deer Rebels to the AJHL's Okotoks Oilers. Shmoorkoff, 17, was pointless in six games with Red Deer last season. The move left the Rebels with 25 players on their roster. . . . Red Deer F Evan Polei suffered a cut hand during a fight in an exhibition game on Saturday and it will prevent him from attending training camp with the NHL's St. Louis Blues. "His injury is a day-to-day situation," Red Deer GM/head coach Brent Sutter said in a news release, "and he should be ready for the start of our regular season." . . .
D Reid Gow, who captained the Spokane Chiefs last season, has enrolled in business at the U of Manitoba and will play for the Bisons. Gow, who is from Killarney, Man., chose to go to school, rather than return for a fifth season with the Chiefs. Last season, he had 62 points, including 56 assists, in 65 games. . . . The Vancouver Giants are down to 26 players, including three goaltenders and 15 forwards. On Monday, they released three players, including F Matt Barberis, 16, of Surrey, B.C., who was the 20th overall selection in the 2013 bantam draft. The Giants also released D Kole Bryks, 17, who was a sixth-round pick in the 2012 bantam draft. . . .
The Tri-City Americans have the dubious distinction of being the first team to be fined by the WHL office this season. The Americans were docked $500 for "player instigating fight in last five minutes of game vs. Spokane" on Saturday. Tri-City D Riley Hillis, who was hit with a one-game suspension, picked up an instigating minor, along with a fighting major and game misconduct, at 19:06 of the third period in that game. Spokane F Riley Whittingham was given a checking-to-the-head minor and fighting major at the time. . . . F Aaron Macklin of the Prince George Cougars won't play Friday against his old team, the Kamloops Blazers, as he will serve a one-game suspension. He took a kneeing major and game misconduct against the visiting Edmonon Oil Kings on Saturday. . . . F Taylor Sanheim of the Calgary Hitmen was given a one-game suspension after picking up a goaltender interference major and game misconduct in a Saturday game against the Medicine Hat Tigers.
Yes! @SeattleTbirds @PARaidersHockey We will be the big brothers for a while, but one day we are gonna be king!

While browsing Instagram, I found this amazing non-profit… Self Care Boxes. We hear about self love and self care all the time now, and really it is super important especially with your mental health. Self care for most is an item or an activity that makes you feel stress free, relaxed, and ready to take on the rest of the day. Some people it's a good book, some its a relaxing bubble bath, others it's going for a run. Self Care boxes sent me a box and I was overwhelmed with positivity and mindfullness.
Recently, they opened up an Etsy shop to help fund their non-profit. Here is the link to their Go Fund Me where they raise money to be able to send boxes to people who request them. If you follow their Instagram, they pick about 5 names bi-weekly. Then send those boxes out.
On their Go Fund Me page their write "Self Care Boxes is a non-profit charity dedicated to sending self care goods to those suffering from mental illness.
Every little bit helps as we will be sending as many care boxes as possible out every month.
We will update on each box on our Facebook page "Self Care Boxes" "
Coloring books have been making a comeback for adults these past couple years… if you have yet to sit down and take time to color, I highly recommend doing that. Your mood with thank you!
Each item they pick out to put in a box (items vary per box/week), they are gravitated towards that self care soothing feel. Nothing like coming home after a stressful or long day, and relaxing with essential oils, or washing your face with lavender cleansing wipes. Thank you for putting smiles on people's faces who are struggling!

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #V8LlenodeSabor #CollectiveBias
Hi, LittleFinders! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. If you are anything like me, I know you have some New Year's resolutions planned. A lot of people think resolutions set you up for failure, but to the contrary, I feel New Year's resolutions motivate me and make me accountable for what I want to make out of the year. Ever since the week before New Year's, I started running every morning and making sure I buy groceries so I can eat healthier. I always choose to go to Walmart because, honestly, it has the cheapest prices and the biggest selection.
Walmart in Orlando, Fl
With my new meal plan and exercise routine, of course, I am drinking lots of water, but sometimes I crave something with a little bit more flavor. That's why I am so excited about all the flavors V8 juices offers. I know what you are thinking, isn't V8 juice tomato juice? Or as my parents call it, "Jugo de Tomate." Sure, they still offer their classics, however, V8 also offers so many varieties like Strawberry Banana, Pomegranate, Blueberry and my favorite, Peach Mango! It has the perfect amount of vegetable blend with a lite sweet taste, to help me fight those sweet afternoon cravings! It's 100 percent juice, so I don't feel guilty or like I am cheating on my new year's resolution.
V8 Juice in Pomegranate Blueberry, Peach Mango & Strawberry Banana
Growing up in Mexico City, I loved going to the "Mercado" and getting a juice made, but when we moved to the United States, that was no longer an option. My Abuelita always had the idea that if a juice came in a bottle there was no way it could taste good. Even when I mentioned to my dad that I would be writing about V8, he mentioned my Abuela, which I found pretty funny.
V8 Juice can be easily found in the Juice aisle at Walmart
Well, Abuelita, I love you but you are wrong. Hispanic families can sometimes have a misconception about V8 juice only being tomato juice or not having a variety of flavors, but ever since we moved to the United States and my uncle introduced us to all the flavors V8 has to offer, my Papa and Mama make sure to add it to their grocery list every time they go to Walmart. I also keep a bottle in the office fridge so I can have a glass whenever I am in the mood. Nothing better than a cold glass of my Peach Mango V8 juice in the middle of an editing session.
Editing a commercial at my Editing Suite
If you want to stick to a healthy eating plan, I highly recommend using a planner. Here I plan the days I will go to Walmart to get groceries, the days I workout and what days that are free for me to cheat a little bit. I also write what flavor of V8 juice to bring to the office for the week.
Of course, I also write other important events like fiestas and dinner with my "familia." I love getting together at my parent's Mexican restaurant for dinner and knowing they always have V8 in the fridge for me to have. You have to love how much they have changed their mind about bottled juices since we moved from Mexico. I'd like to think if my grandmother was alive today, she would think the flavors are delicious too.
This year is already starting to be awesome, and I feel my resolutions are staying in place.
Eating healthier: Check! Thanks to V8 and a meal plan, I have been able to stay on track.
Saving money: Check! Shopping at Walmart has been a big part of that. And, of course, resisting buying another pair of shoes.
How are you doing with your New Year's resolutions?
To help you stick to them, I am giving away an adorable planner like the one above. All you have to do is share your resolutions with me below and the winner will be chosen at random.
I can't wait to hear from you guys. Until next time, LittleFinders!
