Additionally, Sabadell United Bank’s profits have increased 12 percent to $6.5 million in quarter one of 2013.

“This recognition is a testament to what a strong banking institution with sound management is capable of achieving,” said President and CEO Mario Trueba said. “It’s gratifying to once again receive such high rankings because it underscores our commitment to always be there for our clients.”

Rockefeller Spirits Now Available at Lee’s Discount Liquor in Las Vegas

Leave a comment

Vintage Rockefeller Wine & Spirits brands are now available for purchase at Lee’s Discount Liquor, the No. 1 liquor retailer in Las Vegas with 15 locations around southern Nevada.

New York, NY, May 08, 2013 – Vintage Rockefeller Wine & Spirits brands are now available for purchase at Lee’s Discount Liquor, the No. 1 liquor retailer in Las Vegas with 15 locations around southern Nevada.

Lee’s Discount Liquor (www.LeesLiquorlv.com) will feature Empire Rockefeller Vodka, Signature Rockefeller Cognac and F. Rockefeller and Sons vintage 2004 champagne.

Empire Rockefeller Vodka came to market in 2012 and has quickly earned respect for its unique smooth taste. It is the only vodka in the world that is distilled six times in a copper cognac kettle in the Cognac region of France. The winter wheat used for Empire Rockefeller Vodka is done organically in France in the dedication of being as natural as possible. The water used in its production comes from pristine French springs, filtered through Champagne limestone. Empire Rockefeller starts off with what can be described as a very mild sweet start. This taste greets and lingers for a few seconds and gives way to a full-bodied middle followed by an extraordinary smooth, subtle finish.

F. Rockefeller and Sons Champagne is a vintage 2004 champagne that features a delicate stream of bubbles, a golden straw color and honey-mingled aromas with notes of hazelnut and subtle notes of almond paste and vanilla. It has been described as fresh, well-rounded and astonishingly persistent.

Signature Rockefeller Cognac features three lines of cognac distilled from a vineyard in the Cognac region of France. The VS line is a fine blend of Fins Bois & Borderie crus, aged in French oak casks. It is the perfect drink for those who want a cognac with a hint of ripe fruit, spring blossom and fresh oak. The VSOP line has a unique personality, with a mixture of fruity Fins Bois and Grande & Petite champagne. It features an extraordinary vanilla finesse that derives from decade-old French oak barrels. The XO line features a blend of fruit that comes from a 20-year-old eaux-de-vie that has reached full maturity. Patrons will feel their taste buds explode with delight once the caramelized peach, almond and candied fruits come into contact.

Vintage Rockefeller Wine & Spirits produces a portfolio of high quality vodka, champagne, cognac produced in France, and coming soon Red & White Wines. It is currently distributed in the United States in New York, Florida, Nevada and Pennsylvania with more states being rolled out later this year.

Leave a comment

This website helps people find the ideal heater for the basement, bathroom or garage, along with other areas of the home.

Exeter, NH (USA), May 06, 2013 — The iAP Sales LLC corporation proudly announces a new website, www.heateroutlet.com. This website is to promote Heater Outlet, which is a division of iAP Sales. This website is designed to help a do-it-yourselfers, homeowner or a contractor with heating needs. Heater Outlet is an online home improvement retailer that specializes in equipment for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and dehumidification for homes or workplaces.

This website helps people find the ideal heater for the basement, bathroom or garage, along with other areas of the home. Each room has different needs as far as size, appearance, noise or heat output and this website takes all this into consideration. People can also shop by brand or style.

Heater Outlet is owned and operated by two brothers, Jarrod and Ben Castonguay. Jarrod has worked as an HVAC sales rep since 1995. He has worked with industrial design and commercial building contractors to repair, replace, or upgrade HVAC equipment. Jarrod now deals with the frontend and backend of the website http://www.heateroutlet.com, which means he oversees each product that is on the website personally.

Jarrod and his brother want to be sure they provide visitors as much information about each product. They fully research each product and if they feel one is not right for the website then they leave it off the website.

Ben, the other owner of Heater Outlet (and iAP Sales), started working in the commercial HVAC industry in 2000 and specializes in working with HVAC or mechanical engineers and architects. When engineers or architects need assistance with heating design, Ben will work with them on the design and/or the products needed. Ben is in charge of marketing, sales, and customer support. When a person has a question about a heater or other piece of equipment, he needs to feel free to ask for Ben’s help. The person only needs to say he has questions and Ben is more than happy to help him with the answers.

iAP Sales was established in 2003, and is located in the historical Exeter, NH. This company targets its efforts towards products for residential home improvement, while maintaining and utilizing its expertise gained through the year it has been dedicated to the HVAC industry. iAP Sales markets and sells its products only over the internet.

The company is a family owned corporation and is an authorized dealer for the merchandise it promotes and sells on its websites and offers full support. Many of the items are pre-tested in the owners’ homes for durability, efficiency and overall quality. If any product does not live up to the high standards of the company or the brothers receive unacceptable customer service from the factory, the company will drop the product or that factory line from its website. It is important to the bothers that customers are satisfied with any product purchased from their company’s website and that it meets the customer’s expectations. If it doesn’t, they are more than happy to work with the customer to rectify the issue.

Jarrod and Ben say, “We want to have a web site that gives the customer as much information as one could possible want or need, before he makes his buying decision. If he still not 100% sure that an item we sell meets his needs, he only needs to call our toll free number. We will gladly tell him, if what we have, is a good fit or not for his application, and if it’s not, we will tell him it will not work, even if it means losing a sale.”

Former Wrestler Propels Parati Competitive Rowing to a new level of Discipline and Success

Leave a comment

Members of a very successful Woodlands rowing team never dreamed that a former D1 wrestler could lead them to the medals podium.

The Woodlands, TX, May 08, 2013 – Members of a very successful Woodlands rowing team never dreamed that a former D1 wrestler could lead them to the medals podium. At first glance, wrestling and rowing seem to have little in common. But Mike Rosman, head coach of Parati Competitive Rowing, credits his Big Ten NCAA wrestling career for his success in coaching crew.

As Mike explains, “Wrestling is a much more complicated sport than rowing; in wrestling you must be on offense while reacting to your opponent’s moves. Wrestlers must be flexible, strong, and have a very high pain tolerance. Rowing is more of a finesse sport. Mechanically, rowing simply requires mastery of a stroke. Sounds easy, but the key to rowing success is repeating that stroke throughout an entire race without losing form or speed. This is where my wrestling training kicks in. I know how to build strength, endurance, and mental discipline into my athletes so they can push through the pain in competition and maintain effective technique. The measure of success is not how precise your first strokes are, but how fast and efficient you are at the finish line.”

To that end, Coach Mike incorporates many aspects of full body fitness into Parati’s year round training schedule. The athletes in this Woodlands rowing club embrace high intensity cardio work-outs and weight lifting in addition to endurance rowing sessions. Rowers use ergs, stationery rowing machines, to increase conditioning and compete on land against teammates. Blade work refines rowing technique on the water and demands mental focus and repetition.

So how does Coach Mike motivate his athletes to maintain such a strong work ethic?

According to Mike, it’s simple; “I train alongside my rowers. They know I am willing to work as hard as they are, and I am a lot older! Again, this is where my wrestling background serves me well as a coach. I am in great shape and mentally tough – I do not quit. I lead by example.”

Rosman’s philosophy is paying off. In its inaugural year as a club, Parati Competitive Rowing is already the most successful youth rowing club in The Woodlands.

But it’s more than just rowing according to all the members. Coach Mike sums up the club’s attitude; “Parati is more than just a team; we are a family. We work hard, but we also have a lot of fun together. It’s easier to go that extra mile in training when you are in the company of friends.”
