Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

During this year, United States lives a political season looking for their new president to be head of the nation for the next 4 years and during the next months until the final election all the people around the whole world watch their Presidential Primaries waiting to see who the next United States President is.

That’s the reason because I found very interesting this blog, this is not a political blog, in fact if you make a Google’s search about politics in the USA, of course you can find a much more sites where all the political info appears. This is a blog where you can find latest news in the presidential elections, nothing else just news, no matter the tendencies or philosophies about the candidates, their promises or government plans, they just inform about the process and how the race to the White House is development, but the really big goal of this blog is how they work for monetize this one.

They sell custom products for both, democrats and republicans to promote their candidates, the kind of products they sold in the web site includes: custom t-shirts, pens, vote cards, address labels, sticky notes. So if you like an Obama’s T-Shirt or Hillarie’s sticky notes pad for sure you can find here the right one and at the same time you can help to your candidate promoting your vote using some of these nice products.

Small Business Loans

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

One of hardest things the moment of begin an startup company always is get the enough money for the first steps, specially if we need an small business loans, normally when this happens a lot of small business didn’t start their projects at time because their capital venture companies or traditional banks needs large information about their ideas, projects etc.

If this is your company’s case probably you must wait months or years for a small business loans and for sure when you get the money you need work hard to take back your project and start it.

That’s the reason why solutions like this one, when appears in the market offers a good option for the entrepreneur or small company, Small Business Loans offers you the way to access to a credit from $10.000,oo USD until $150,000.oo USD within the next 24-48 hours with no hidden charges in the process and the best of all is their lowest interest rates, some people qualify them as one of the lowest interest rates for unsecured loans in the United States.

So if you need a credit in the middle time, I suggest review their service and compare with another services like this one.

Western Shirts.

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Last night I was talking with a good friend of mine who are actually living in USA, and he told me about the actually trends in some states about the use of western wear, that’s the reason why he recommends me to check this web site about western wear for men, ladies and kids. I’m not fan entirely of this kind of wear, but some pieces of it are really nice, especially the Women Sleepwear or Women Shirt, because in their web site they have a large selection of wear, including an special section of vintage western.

In fact, I’m not sure if someday I use or buy this kind of wears, but I knows some people who likes this kind of wear specially some friends who actually are living in USA and they likes country music, for sure they are the target for this store, I guess they feel likes a real cowboy using it, an if someone of them asks me about this kind of things I know where to find it, or if someone of them decide to sing country music for sure they find interesting this store.

But one of the things than I can’t found on this website are boots a real pair of cowboys boots, maybe in the future the offers this product too.

Celebrity Scientologists

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Ok, lets try to take it with calm, As you must to know a lot of people around the world, every day confess their love about Scientologists (and UFO’s of course) and how their lives changed after their first sight, in fact one of the most important defenders of the Scientologists is Tom Crusie.

But today I found this list about the Celebrity Scientologists and if you read  some of their reasons to be part of it you can’t found any good idea to be join them into the church, I’m not sure if their ideas was be evangelists of the Church, but arguments as the used by Leah Remini, definitely doesn’t leave in good position the Scientologists:

“If somebody is going to get turned off about something because of what they read or heard, then that person’s not smart enough to even enter a church. If you’re really against something, then know what you’re against.”

In my point of view, definitely she have no good arguments, to inspire someone to be part of the Scientologists.

how to mix and drink absinthe.

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Few days ago a good friend of mine invites me to take a shot of a new drink he bought trough the internet, Absinthe. In fact a lot of people call it as an liquor but the wikipedia describe it as a distilled, highly alcoholic anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs including the flowers and leaves of the medicinal plant Artemisia absinthium, also called Grand Wormwood, but it’ doesn’t a liquor or spirit because absinthe is not bottled with added sugar.

Anyway, the mainly reason of this post is abut hot to do an Absinthe drinks, in my personal case it was my first time, so I learned it from my friend and how to do that.

First he puts a shot of Absinthe, in a glass, then dip a teaspoon of sugar into the glass until it absorbs a little bit, then he puts on fire the sugar with a  lighter, he told me do this with careful because this is very flammable, when the sugar was caramelized, and the flame comes to down he stirs absinthe with the sugared spoon and finally adds water to the glass, in fact in the official web site the have an explanation of how to do it.

When you drink it, the first impression you’ll been is the same as the Cuban Mojito’s an strong herbal flavor.

My birthday is coming.

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Just my family and a very close group of friends know when is date of my birthday and of course just some of them know what I like for this day.

That’s the reason why I decide started to search for my new birthday gift and of course the main products are gadgets and that kind of stuffs, an iPhone is the first place in that list, but when I made a search at Google’s home page with the expression “birthday gifts for men” searching for other kind of gifts, have not relation with technology, I found something really interesting. A web site where you can buy a gift card for someone else, and where every gift is based on exited experiences like drive an Aston Martin for four laps in some locations, interesting isn’t?

In fact, if you review the website you can found a lot of more exiting experiences like drive a Ferrari and then compare your experience driving a Lamborghini for 6 miles each one, or if you like experience the adrenaline in your blood, maybe do you prefer be John McClane during a single day like in the movie Die Hard 4.0. Your mission is fight and destroys the entire terrorist during this day and the price of it is just £250.

After of watch some of this gift ideas I like a lot of them and if I can bough some of them to myself of course I do, but until I can do that I just continue searching some other birthday gift ideas.

Saving money monthly

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

What about if I tell you than you can save money monthly just if do carpooling or ride sharing with someone else?. Really interesting, isn’t?.

Today, I found this very interesting website RideSearch.com Carpool where the main idea of it is to work with others in the way to help someone making ride share and at the same time save money, save on gas and of course save the environment using less your car and sharing with others the way to go home or go to work.

The idea is to connect employees from closer offices or neighbors who wants share the use of them cars to pickup and carry someone else to their destiny at the same time you can do new friends and save your money, just imagine this case:

You, daily goes to your job in your car and spend almost 5 miles driving to there during 20 days in the month and the cost of a gas gallon is from $1.90 but your vehicle uses almost 8 miles per gallon, then you need a parking place where you must let your car during the work hours until you’ll go back to home in the night,  you must pay around $30,oo monthly for this place.

Using the RideSearch.com’s Carpool calculator you can save $78.75 or more if you find someone else who follow the same path to your work or home, maybe a friend from you office or neighbor living close to your home.

If you need more info about the system or the web site, please visit  RideSearch.com Carpool

Monster for employers.

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

Few days ago, a good friend of mine during a chat session he lets me know about a service to hire the right people for his business. In fact few months ago I found the same service but in the other side, when I was searching job in Spain, but I don’t know about the side of Monster to hire people, I’m think now it’s obvious, so Monster close the circle between the company and the employee using a single application.

Anyway, the story of my friend is about a “Cafe Lounge” in Washington D.C., USA where he is the owner and needs some help to attend the place, that’s the reason why he decide to use Monster system “help wanted“. In fact Jeovanny my friend and one of the owners of the “Cafe Lounge” told me than Monster brings to te user a complete and well done application to offer the best opportunities in the market according with the search criteria, in Jeovanny’s case, he was searching was Chef Assistant and he told me After search, I can found almost 50 candidates to that job position.

I’m not sure about if Jeovany’s made contact or not with one of the candidates to the job position, but today I was browsing the web site and found very interesting things like this one “Why Recruit with Monster”, and one of the things than I liked about the Monster’s web site is the capability to share with the companies a bunch of tools to monitor and measure the recruitment process from begin until the end of it. Of course if you have enough time to review the complete web site you can find a lot of interesting products and possibilities to exploit the whole capabilities of it in the moment to hire people for your company.

Of course this service have a cost, but if you analyze this value versus jobs time of your company to select the personal, or versus the cost to implement a complete solution to be used by the Human Resources Dept of your company, of course use the Monster system always be more cheaper than other solution.

Searching for roses in USA

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

The valentine’s day is coming and of course one of the best gifts to express love, friendship or respect to the others is a Rose or an arrangement of roses to be shared with them, but the main question is where to find it, especially if you need to send it to a place where you don’t live?

Well, in Quito, Ecuador I know some places where you can buy it, but at this time I need to send some roses arrangements to my friends, clients living and working in USA, so I decided use my unconditional good friend, Google.com, to search a nice website where I can bought them, and one of the best places where I can found roses was this one 1800flowers.com.

After of look some of the arrangements, I can found very interesting options like this one, to be delivered to my friends, and the cost of them is not very expensive of course it looks like a very nice detail at this time, but I guess than the people of 1800flowers.com, of course are working hard in new special details to be delivered this valentine’s day.

The site by itself looks very fresh and one of the things than I liked is some of the extra services to be used for free, so if you need roses to be delivered to your friends, family or your special one’s of course you can find here a lot of possibilities and some of them are really nice.
