If you're still undecided if you'll choose an Impreza over other sedans, here's a clincher for you. Motor Image Pilipinas, Inc. (MIPI), distributor of Subaru cars in the Philippines, is throwing in a special upgrade when you buy a brand new Subaru Impreza.
The whole lineup of Impreza has been upgraded. Front styling has been revised with a new front bumper, grille, and headlights giving it a close resemblance to the 2015 Legacy.
There isn't much of an upgrade under the hood as the Impreza will still be powered by a 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Boxer engine. It can produce up to 150 hp and 196 Nm of torque. It can either be mated to the 6-speed manual transmission or the Lineartronic Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT), in which you could still control your gear through the paddle shift.
Before, the 2.0i variant was fitted with a basic 2-DIN audio system. You can forget about it as now you can enjoy 6.2-inch color display audio system with 6 speakers on your new Impreza.
This, along with the other features like the HID headlamps with auto leveliser, rear and front fog lamps, power-folding door mirrors with built-in LED turn signal, single muffler cutter, automatic AC system with anti-dust filter, and cruise control, comes standard with every Impreza 2.0i variant.
For the 2.0i-Sport variant, it will now come with a premium audio system, equipped with 7-inch VGA center display and 6 speakers. This includes the rear vision camera system.
In addition to that, your dashboard will show you the fuel economy screen, the eco-evaluation screen, driving condition, clock with outside temperature, and maintenance information via the 4.3-inch LCD screen display.
The trunk and side under spoilers, along with the aluminum pedals, will still come standard with 2.0i-Sport variant.
For more details and specs of the Subaru Impreza, you can visit the AutoDeal Car Guide.

What NOT To Do in Mexico: Advice From a Local
This post may contain affiliate links.
I get asked fairly often for advice about Mexico, whether that's about the places to visit in Jalisco, where to find the best street art in Mexico City, or even the coolest, most colourful towns. Sometimes I have the answers and sometimes I don't (we're all human), but most of all it can get boring telling people the same things over and over again. So, in a break in scheduled programming, instead of what to do in Mexico, here's my rundown – an insider perspective – on what NOT to do in Mexico.
Obviously these insightful, comical and common-sense pieces of Mexico travel advice are principally taken from my own experiences, so they should NOT be taken as gospel nor as applicable to everyone. Take them for what they are – practical, first-hand, pretty fucking funny and useful snippets of wisdom. Anyway, enough cover-my-back-disclaiming, here are 37 pieces of Mexico travel advice that should help you avoid some common tourist mistakes, and perhaps even some not so common ones.
I will be covering safety advice in far more detail in an upcoming post, so this post is pretty light on the serious stuff.
What NOT to Say
If you want to steer clear of the whole ignorant tourist vibe a lot of travellers in Mexico have got going on, or if you just want to keep the locals on side, here's what NOT to say.
"I'm American."
Harmless enough, right? Wrong. Everyone in Mexico is American too, dipshit, so don't brand yourself as ignorant by identifying yourself as 'American'. Instead, say 'I'm from the US', or name a state, but don't just claim the continent as your own and forget about your southern (and northern) neighbours. Also, everyone hates Trump, so maybe just say you're from Canada and save yourself the hassle?
OK, OK, I'm being harsh. This is a very common mistake but for a reason. The English word 'American', in its most direct Spanish translation (americano), just doesn't have the same meaning – while we associate it with being from the US, Spanish speakers associate americano with people from the entire continent, which, of course, includes Mexicans. Just stick to estadounidense and you'll be fine.
"I love South America!"
Cool, but Mexico is in North America. Not South America, not Central America. Come on, guys. You're probably looking for the term Latin America, which covers all the countries with a predominantly Romance language speaking culture in the region and can therefore include Portuguese speaking Brazil, French speaking French Guiana and Caribbean Cuba.
"I don't speak Mexican."
Good, because neither does anyone in Mexico. They speak Spanish. Click here if you want a breakdown of some of the basic phrases every traveller in Mexico needs (COMING SOON).
"I hate Jesus and love abortion."
Whether true or not, you don't want to go spouting off to all and sundry about your religious views. Much of Mexico is Catholic and controversial topics surrounding religious debates are best kept for private conversation among close friends. Or not at all. (For the record, abortion is only legal in all circumstances in Mexico City, in case you were wondering.)
"Corona is the best Mexican beer."
You are wrong, you are objectively wrong. Everyone knows Victoria is the best Mexican beer, unless you're at the beach and then you're going to want to plump for a refreshing Pacífico. If you think Tecate is the best beer, then for the love of god, don't tell anyone (unless you're in the north where it actually is the best beer, because the only other option is Bud Light). And don't even talk to me about motherfucking Sol. Jesus.

"PAY-so" instead of "PEH-so"
This is more of a pet peeve of mine, but at least pronounce the name of the currency right when you're in Mexico. Peh-so, not PAY-so. The current rate of the peso (at time of writing) is a little above MXN$20 to £1 and a little below MXN$20 to the US$1.
"Mexican food is great! I love chimichangas."
I hate to break it to you, but you love Tex-Mex. A simple way to tell the difference is that Tex-Mex, due to the Texan cattle ranching influence, relies far more on beef products, whereas typical, traditional Mexican dishes contain far more pork. Tex-Mex loves a good cheddar cheese, flour tortilla and dash of cumin, whereas Mexican food prefers white cheese, corn tortillas and spice rather than spices. Basically, Tex-Mex is a supersized, extra greasy version of Mexican food. Still not sure? If you're in the UK or US and go to a 'Mexican' restaurant, pretty much everything on that menu is actually just Tex-Mex. Except Wahaca, that shit is pretty authentic.
"Estúpido" and "Idiota"
A.k.a. 'Stupid' and 'idiot', except with a far stronger meaning in Mexican Spanish than in English. Stick to the harmless tonto if you want to call someone a bit dim, or just call them a pinche cabrón hijo de su puta madre. OBVIOUSLY DON'T DO THAT LAST ONE. I'm just highlighting the fairly laidback attitude to swearing in Mexico in contrast with the use of estúpido or idiota, which barely seem offensive in English. For the record, I still make this mistake from time to time even though I speak fluent Spanish. Or maybe some of the people I meet actually are idiotas. We'll never know.
This means 'catch' in Spain – as in, catch a bus – but it means 'fuck' in Mexico – as in, I want to fuck you. Best to steer clear. In Mexico you can agarrar a bus, but you should never fuck it.
"Le voy al América."
Telling people you support the most hated team in Mexico is pretty bad wherever you are in the country, but especially bad in Mexico City. If you're in Guadalajara, the equivalent would be telling people you support the Chivas and in Monterrey, it would be like having no opinion on football whatsoever. They take their football seriously in the north and if you claim to be a fan of no team, you'll be treated with mild suspicion.
What NOT to Do
Oh sure, there are plenty of things to do in Mexico, but what should you NOT be doing while you're there? Here are some of the main activities, rookie errors and mistakes to avoid. Incidentally, you can read about all the rookie errors and mistakes I made when I first moved to Mexico here (COMING SOON).
Visit the overrated tourist attractions
I'm biased, because I live here and I've already been to them. Let me make it clear that there are numerous 'tourist attractions' that are more than worth visiting, especially if it's your first time in Mexico City. Think, the Museo Nacional de Antropología, the Torre Latinoamericana's bar, Xochimilco's trajineras. I'm on the fence about Frida Kahlo's house, but it's still a pretty unmissable experience. However, if you've been to Mexico City multiple times, or even just to Mexico, branch out and explore new areas. I've said it once and I'll say it again – there's more to the capital than Roma and the historic centre.
Assume everyone speaks English
In very heavily frequented tourist spots, or further north, you can assume that many people have a pretty decent grasp of English, but that doesn't apply everywhere. At least get the basics down before you go to Mexico, so you can come across as polite not ignorant:
- Hola = Hello
- Buenos días = Good morning
- Buenas tardes/noches = Good afternoon/evening
- Adiós/Ciao/Bye/Hasta luego = Bye
- Por favor = Please
- Gracias = Thanks
- Con permiso = Excuse me
- Salud = Cheers/Bless you
Alternatively, if you'd rather brush up on some specifically Mexican Spanish, invest in a pocket phrasebook.
Trust the first directions you hear
Picture the scene: You ask someone to point you in the direction of a pretty well-known attraction, that you know isn't far from here. They um and they ah, and eventually send you six blocks to the left, across the bridge and instruct you to turn left at the yellow house. Would you trust them? No. OK, now imagine that everyone gives you those kind of weird instructions when you ask for directions (rather than just, you know, saying they're not sure where it is) and you're coming close to what it's like in Mexico. As a rule of thumb, ask three separate people and draw together their responses to get your route.
Drink in the street
I met someone on holiday in Vallarta at the top of a view point who I'm pretty sure was high or drunk or both, and he was waxing lyrical about the fact drinking in the street was allowed in Mexico for a good while until I told him that, no, in fact, it's very much illegal. Sure, you'll get the good old fashioned blind eye turned when you're in a popular tourist zone and if you're quite obviously a tourist (places like Puerto Vallarta and Playa del Carmen spring to mind). Step into a small town or a city though, and the police will be on you if you're caught drinking in the street. Fines are in place, but more often than not you'll just have to bribe your way out of trouble. Fun story: I was once caught drinking on the street in Monterrey with two Mexicans. They asked to see our wallets and IDs and we were certain they were priming themselves to ask for the inevitable bribe. As it happens, we managed to talk our way out of it and go on with our (albeit beer-less) day. After it happened, one of them said it's because I was present and if that's not an example of some of the uncomfortable privilege I get in Mexico as a white European girl then I don't know what is.
Pay the first price you're told in a market
Haggling is almost expected in many places, and while you should take into account exactly what MXN$20 means to you financially as well as just what that amount of money means to the vendor, it's always worth trying to get a bit off the price if you feel you're paying too much. As someone who lives and works in Mexico, this attitude can't be maintained constantly though. When I'm truly 'holidaying', say, spending pounds from my birthday money stash instead of pesos from my wage, I'm more inclined to spend more but when I'm living off a Mexican wage, it can be infuriating when people assume you have the money for 'tourist' prices.
Expect people to turn up on time
One of the things Mexico is best known for is a population to whom time is merely a concept, an imagined notion that is eternally flexible and not at all to be adhered to at any point. Yeah, people are late. As a punctual Brit, it pains me, but I'm permanently primed for aimless hanging around if I agree to meet a Mexican friend at a set time, and you should be too.
Buy or sell drugs
I mean, duh? But also, people still do it, so it needs saying. With the tense drug situation as it is in Mexico at the moment, take a second before you even think about getting involved in it, even in a small way, and then consider whether it's worth paying the price if you get caught. I'll help you out – it's not.
Flush your toilet paper
If there's a bin (that's not obviously a sanitary towel bin) in the stall, then it means you can't flush the toilet paper. If there's no bin, flush away.
Spend all your change
I can't reiterate this enough to visitors coming to Mexico. Cling onto your change like it's the commodity it is, because there are so many places you need either exact change or close to exact change in order to make your purchase. Oxxo, I'm fucking looking at you.
Ask for salt and lime with your tequila
This is widely seen as a trick to make bad tequila taste good and is popular in countries where the tequila shots you're served are probably cheap, low quality and white rather than reposado tequila. It looks a bit like amateur hour if you demand these citrusy, savoury accompaniments in Mexico though. Just brace yourself and do the shot, dammit.
What NOT to Wear
I know plenty of people will recommend dressing conservatively(ish) if you're a female visiting Mexico, simply to try and ward off some of the catcalls and leers from locals. While I hesitate to police female clothing so men can feel more comfortable, I definitely recognise that I get less stares in jeans than I do in heels and a skirt. Less but not none, I might add. This is my experience, so I don't want to advocate that you follow my clothing decisions if you don't feel comfortable doing so. For that reason, the below what not to do in Mexico advice is based on weather considerations and comfort more than anything else.
Skinny jeans in hot weather
I will persevere in wearing black skinny jeans every day of my life until I die, whether I'm in 40-degree heat in a Monterrey August or 35-degree Puerto Vallarta humidity. Take it from me though, one day you will get thrush, and you will regret all those skinny jean wearing choices for a hot second. Then you'll buy some Vagisil and continue to wear skinny jeans anyway, because you get mad chub rub if you don't have material encasing your thighs 24/7.
Shorts and sandals in the city
One, you'll get really dirty feet. Two, sandals tend to become uncomfortable little bastards the longer you wear them, unless you have a pair of dad sandal style Tevas (which are honestly the best things ever). Plus, shorts just make you look like a tourist, and personally, I prefer to try and blend in as much as possible. I mean, I'm whiter than a pint of milk, so it's never going to be a seamless effort, but I do what I can.
Related Post: Moving to Mexico? Here's What to Pack + What to Leave Behind
Flashy jewellery
Common sense, isn't it? Don't make yourself a target.
Flesh toned leggings
I just really fucking hate flesh toned leggings. Incidentally, if you do decide to wear them, you'll actually fit right in with the general Mexican fashion vibe.
Clothes with weird cut out bits
You'll just get weird sunburn patterns and hate yourself.
What NOT to Eat
I really hate reading posts about Mexico that tell you the food is all unsanitary and dangerous. It's not. Some of it might be, but the vast majority of it isn't. However, having said that, there are some things that in my personal experience you should stay away from in Mexico. Take this with as much of a pinch of salt as you would a cheap tequila shot.
Street food
Obviously I'm just kidding, come on. But you should take some basic precautions when you plump for a Mexican street food stand to grab a quick taco from. Make sure they seem to have some sources of clean water and preferably an industrial sized bottle of hand gel on the counter. Use the hand gel. Don't think you're too good for the gel, because you're not. Finally, see what the crowd gathered around it looks like – all local looking? Great. What, there is not crowd gathered around it?! GTFO of there, everyone else clearly knows something you don't.
Fruit without salt and chili
Sounds gross and is kind of gross, until one day it isn't. It's one of those things that grows on you, I guess. Having said that, even after two years of living here, I still think my pineapple and mango should be salt, chili and lime free, because fuck that. Coconut totally works with lime and chili though, and the only thing that makes papaya even vaguely palatable for me is a shit ton of lime juice. Incidentally, a lot of the food I LOVE now is stuff I was on the fence about when I first tried it, so never rule anything out unless you've given it a real go. (Except pulque, fuck that slimy, viscous devil juice.)
Spicy salsas…
…without trying them first. Don't lather up your taco in that innocuous looking green sauce because, guess what, it ain't avocado based. Instead, just drop a tiny bit onto the back of your (clean) hand first and try it out before you commit to spending a few hours on the toilet that night cursing every decision leading up to that moment. I AM SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.
Let's just say I had a pretty traumatic experience after a street side watermelon purchase. Make sure it's freshly cut if you do decide to buy it, that's all I have to say on this matter.
In all seriousness, try everything and branch out of your comfort zone (even if it does mean trying these unusual Mexican dishes I wrote about for Lia over at Practical Wanderlust, or ticking your way through my Mexican Food Bucket List (COMING SOON)). Getting sick is temporary, but the anecdote lasts forever.
What NOT to Drink
Tap water
Do you like heavy metals and yellow teeth? If so, then go ahead and drink the tap water. Otherwise, steer clear. Buy garrafones or a water purifier instead. (Sidenote: Tbf, I drink the tap water in Mexico City, once it's been safely boiled in the kettle that almost trips the electric every time we make a cup of tea.)
See the above beer rant. You're in Mexico for the love of god, choose a better beer than a boring old Sol.
Unrefined tequila that's essentially just paint stripper. Sure, you might see how cheap it is and think about grabbing a bottle in the local Oxxo, but don't or you might end up blind.
Where NOT to Visit
There is no blanket answer to the question 'where should I go in Mexico?'. Except there is, and it's Guadalajara. Just kidding. Kind of.
However, there are several places you'll want to think twice about visiting in my experience. Bear in mind this is my opinion, based on experience and anecdote, and you should really check out your respective government travel warning page before you make a decision on where (not) to go in Mexico. Here's the UK one and here's the US one.
Border Towns
The border towns and cities are generally pretty uninspiring. Think Ciudad Juárez and it's horrifying femicide rate.
Drug-Heavy States
The states of Tamaulipas, Sonora, Chihuahua, Guerrero, Michoacán and Veracruz are also considered pretty dangerous at the moment too, although I would never advise ruling out entire states entirely. For example, the capital of Michoacán (Morelia) is a safe place to visit, as is Taxco in Guerrero. These are just a few examples. It's worth keeping in mind that each town and city has its dangerous zones, like anywhere else in the world. Speak to locals before you go and when you arrive to find out where they are.
Don't forget that you can easily end up getting mugged in supposedly safe destinations too though, so it's not always a guarantee of safety if you stay on the tourist trail.
Northern Mexico in Summer
It's too hot and you'll want to die.
Northern Mexico in Winter
It's too cold and you'll want to die.
Sorry, but just go somewhere a bit more interesting, a bit less touristy and a lot cheaper? (This is ~semi~ tongue-in-cheek, please take it with a pinch of salt. And a shot of tequila.)

Ew. Flush ALWAYS the toilet paper. It's not hygienic to put it in the bin. Bin is for something else.
Hi! I know it is not hygienic, but in Mexico the paper does not dissolve in the toilet so it gets stuck and then believe me that it is more disgusting. 😉 Im mexican and thats why you REALLEY NEED put it in the bin.
So true!! This is a must read for everyone who wants to travel to Mexico.
I made this "American" mistake a couple of times in the beginning I lived here, now I never use that word anymore, not even in my own language lol.
I also got sick from a watermelon once, it gave me a really bad stomach infection…
Hey there! Nice post!! I really like your writing style, and you definitely made me laugh at least a few times while reading this. Also, very important point about folks from the US not labeling themselves as American. I feel like we (we being folks from the US) just shouldn't use the term in general. We need a word like estadounidense in English! USian just doesn't roll off the tongue…
Otherwise, the only part of this post that I disagree with is your section on haggling. In general, I think that tourists shouldn't haggle. I know that there's a whole "live like a local" attitude in the travel sphere, and locals haggle… but I think that's a privilege that should be for locals, not foreigners. Most tourists don't consider the economies/sociopolitical situations of the places that they visit, and I think in these situations haggling can easily become exploitative of the local vendors. Especially in places like Mexico, where our western currency goes so far. It really doesn't make a tangible difference to a tourist to pay 40 pesos versus 20 pesos for xyz item… but that 20 pesos can make a big difference to the vendor. Plus, most of the time the stuff we're haggling over are beautiful things that we're going to take home and treasure as memories from our trip abroad – why not pay a little extra for something that we will cherish (even if it's at a slightly inflated price)?
Anyway, that's my two cents. I'm curious to get your thoughts on the subject 🙂
A lot of times the vendors (or taxi drivers) see that you speak English and think "American, walking ATM machine, rich person with people back in the USA who will send more money…" whatever, and raise the price. I was recently made to pay the same for a ride across town as I had heard someone say you should pay for a ride all the way to ENSENADA. Actually, twice as much. They said 180pesos and I gave him a 200 peso note and didn't get change! That's the kind of thing that I mean by "they think I'm a walking ATM machine because I speak English therefore 'must be American not Irish even with a very definitely Irish name'" I don't know what this is. They see this half-French-Polynesian colouring and, what, expect, what, French to come out? And then when I speak French they act like, what, "what's that"? I'm glad 109 million people have found themselves willing or able to stay here but I see the Irish Embassy only has one office in this entire country (well, there's a Consuate in Cancun) FOR. A. REASON. And even though Belize speaks English, we don't have a Consulate there at all; that should tell me something right there.
Hilarious post! I wish there were an English word for US citizen besides US citizen… It's pretty clumsy. Your bit about beers reminded me that the first time I was old enough to order a beer in another country was the last time I visited Mexico (it was a while ago). I was looking at the beer list and prices, and for a moment was sad that the beer I wanted to try was much more expensive than the US beers…until I snapped to and realized, oh yeah, the domestic (less expensive) prices are for the Mexican beers! I was so used to domestic = Budweiser. On a more serious note, every time I've visited Mexico, the behavior of a lot of the guys toward me has been much worse (overall) than in the US. Is this prevalent everywhere in Mexico or more in the bigger touristy cities?
Loved reading this post – chuckled a few times at what not to do's. Definitely a great read for anyone travelling to Mexico.
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive post! Although fruits with salt? I've had a friend who made me try green apples with salt, and never again ahahahahahah.
I absolutely loved this post! So many things to learn! For example, in my country -Romania – we always drink tequila with salt and lime haha. I will try not to do this anymore. Next year I am planning to visit Mexico so I will definitely get back to this article! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Lauren,
Love your blog! You have some great content and very useful tips on Mexico which I'm sure will come in handy on my upcoming trip.
However, one thing I'd like to point out which is certainly not accurate is blanco tequila being of poor quality or taste. Yes reposado and anejo tend to me smoother due to the barrel aging process in oak expressing notes of vanilla, caramel etc. but by no means is blanco a poor quality product. Blanco often tends to be joven or young and exhibit a more sweet veggetal or green note but can be equally as smooth.
I'd suggest trying something like Tierra Noble Blanco or Maestro Dobel. I will perhaps have more to add to this list following my trip this month!
Hi Lauren!
As a matter of fact I do like slightly sarcastic, often subjective but always informative and amusing travel, food and cultural guides!! And yours hits the nail on the head!
We are planning a Yuge move to Mexico next year and I've had my concerns and qualms as we begin the planning stages of our next big adventure. I'm grateful you've quelled many of them. Thank you! This is exactly the kind of info I've been looking for! How not to offend locals or their culture, tradition. How this loud mouthed Irish Amazon white girl is gonna fit in. Don't get me wrong, I know how to behave and be respectful. It's just that I tend to stand out anyway.
I am confident that I'll figure it all out and the fact that I'll be living with family (in-laws) is comforting. Please keep writing! This is great information! Looking forward to all the "Coming Soon's"
Amazing post¡ 😂 Hilarious and so real, you are like a real mexican now (or are you¿) I'm a Mexican living in Colombia and Se me antojo sooo badly the tlacoyo 😩. If you speak Spanish take a look to my site http://musadeviajes.com .. soon coming in english too¡ keep going girl 💪🏼
Thanks for this! I'm visiting Mexico City (for the first time) over New Year's. What are your tips for things to do/not to do over Dec 31 – Jan 1? Most of the things I've read claim a lot of restaurants etc. are closed those days, but I want to take full advantage of the time I have!
Hi Lauren, great post and very funny – I had a good chuckle to myself. I can't believe I didn't discover the wonders of fruit with salt and chilli until I visited Mexico. Now I can't eat mango any other way 🙂 Trip no 4 beckons in a couple of weeks – can't wait!
#1 under "what not to say." Wrong. If you say anything in English at all you will be CALLED "American" or asked if you're "American" or just treated like American and they do whatever it is they were going to do to an "American." I'm Irish and even in the UK I got called and treated like "American." Sometimes TOLD I was an "American" not even ASKED. I'm surprised I put up with two years of that in Greater London before I got fed up with being called that every time I opened my mouth in English. I would say I was Irish and then get told "Irish-American." TOLD not asked. And now the Mexicans are doing it to me too, only by way of robbery and overcharging me up the yin-yang for everything starting with transportation. "American" means "walking ATM machine." Whereas "Irish" might very well mean "fellow poor Catholic country" (probably not, since Ireland is, after all, in Western Europe and gets lumped in with the UK). At least in the UK I didn't get outright robbed for being mistaken for American, usually I was able to beat them off of otherwise ward them off. After all, there, everyone speaks English, right? Toward the end of my putting up with that in the UK, I started speaking nothing but French, I was so disgusted with what would happen when I'd speak English. Except around other Irish people, of course.
Now, granted, up here, at the "Border" the justification given is that most people in these parts who speak English ARE Americans, due its proximity. Of course, there is a British Consulate in Tijuana so that can't be entirely true; there's also one in Monterrey. So that can't be entirely true. It must just be rubbish like the same excuses given me in the UK when I'd call them out on it.
And furthermore, when UK people call someone "American!" like that they mean Canadians and Irish people too, so don't try to say you mean only the USA. And it is derogatory. In the UK it was used against me as meaning "you couldn't possibly be qualified in Maths or science, you're "American" meaning uneducated and stupid" and don't tell me that's not true because I had it explained to me loads of times by not only other Irish people but what few Brits would admit it.
It gets to where I don't even want to fly on British Airways because of it but AerLingus doesn't fly here, so I'll figure something out…
I sooo giggled! Love this!
Flesh toned leggings! Hilarious – also true! Why is this a thing??
Hahaha! I just got back from Mexico. This is hilarious. Wish I read it a few weeks ago. Love the 'with a pinch of salt and a shot of tequila'

Does this money thing get any easier? We're all in different stages. There are plenty of us who are just getting started or who are "in the middle" of our own journey with mastering money.
I'm here to tell you that getting ahead financially takes time; even for a well-educated, financially-nerdy, entrepreneur-oriented guy like me. It took me until my late 20s before I could fully wrap my head around (and act upon) some of the core concepts of personal finance. I'm still learning new things and setting new goals. It really is a process.
What is "Getting Ahead"?
Obviously we're each going to have our own definition of what it means to get ahead financially. To use a cliche, personal finance is personal. But generally, I think getting ahead comes down to a few things.
- An awareness of where you are and where you want to be (i.e. establishing some type of goal).
- Seeing progress towards those goals. This could be reducing your credit card debts, increasing your emergency savings, setting up life insurance, or any number of things.
- Having the ability to fast-forward that progress, either through wise spending, increased income, or both.
- Developing a confidence in your ability to maintain your progress and, probably more importantly, not end up back where you started.
That's really it. It's less about a number. Who cares how much actual debt you have! There's someone with more debt, and there's someone with less debt who's mismanaging their money. Who cares how much net worth you have compared to your peers! Your net worth is growing by huge percentage points. Proper money management is not a race against others. It's a marathon; and you're mostly competing against yourself.
What do you think it means to "get ahead"?
Things that Help in Your Journey
There are a few, less-tactical things, that I believe have helped me in my own journey:
- Learning to be satisfied. Don't get me wrong, this isn't about doing without, or settling. I'm as capitalist as they come. Get as much as you want and get it today. But it's much more important for me to be able to get as much as I want, than to actually get it. Beside, stuff just costs you more money.
- Seeking out value. Quality things, last. Things that you value, satisfy. That is all.
- Being conscious of opportunity. There are new opportunities everyday to make more, save more, and spend more wisely. Are you training your brain to spot them?
- Having a system but keeping an open mind. Financial systems and automation are important, almost critical in some ways. But don't marry yourself to one way of thinking. Be open to different solutions.
- Accept that there is no end. While you can "get ahead", there is no financial promised land. You are always going to have to deal with something money-related, even down to how to pay for your funeral. And really, you should always be making the most of what you have, which takes continued effort and education.
I don't know where you are on your path to improved finances, but from where I stand today, I can tell you that it does get easier. Keep at it.

Today, in the world of photography it takes a lot of work to make it. Many of us still work other jobs just so we can finance our photography business. Throw family into the mix and we wonder how we are going to find time to succeed with our photography. From taking pictures, editing, marketing and everything in between, the precious minutes are few and far between.
One of the more time consuming parts of photography is the whole editing workflow process. Photographers, more than ever, need to be very knowledgeable of industry leading editing software. Yes, getting everything right in camera is so critical but there is always going to be some final touches needed. To stand out in this competitive business, being good at editing is important. Sometimes no matter how efficient you are at editing, it still takes a lot of time. Because of this I am always on the lookout for ways to create a more effective workflow while still having control throughout the process. At the same time I don't want to sacrifice quality for a "quick fix". There is one company I have found that gives me a solution for what I am looking for in my editing workflow.
Sleeklens has developed products for both Lightroom and Photoshop to help all types of photographers streamline their editing workflow with presets, brushes and actions. For me I prefer to do most of my editing in Lightroom so I use the presets and brushes workflow from Sleeklens. Being a landscape photographer the "Through the Woods" workflow collection has great tools with 51 presets and 30 brushes to make my workflow more efficient.
Why I like working with Sleeklens is how easy it was to integrate into my workflow. Software can be intimidating and frustrating at times. The installations instructions make is so simple. Unlike other plug-ins I have installed in the past, there is no stumbling around my computer files wondering if I did it right. They also offer great customer service to help guide you through your instillation.
No sooner than installing it, you can get right to work using it. In the Develop module you can choose a variety of presets from an "all in" one preset that makes all your adjustments at one time to a base preset and some fine tuning presets. There are also brushes that go along with the presets. Simply pull up the adjustment brush and choose from the drop down menu at the top. All the brushes are conveniently labeled as to what they will do and help me turn my image into exactly what I want. Then, like with all presets and brushes, I can adjust the settings to my liking.
I wasn't looking for something to speed up my editing; I wanted to make the process more efficient. Sleeklens does that and more. With just a couple clicks and a few slider changes, I have my image looking exactly like I envisioned. I have a before and after image of some sunflowers where I used the Through The Woods workflow preset "extending DR – Crisp and sharp". It really made the image "pop", especially the center sunflower where I want the most of the attention focused on. Click on the images to see a larger version of how the preset enhanced the photo.
Sunflowers "Before" Sunflowers "After"
If you are looking for something to help improve your editing workflow, I would highly encourage you to check out Sleeklens and the quality products they offer. The Staff is comprised of experienced photographers and designers that have worked in the industry for many years and understand the passion photographers feel towards creating a top quality images. To specifically check out the landscape workflow that I use you can go here. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, Sleeklens workflow solutions will help you with your image editing and maybe get some of the invaluable time back that we all need in our lives.

NEW YORK — C When 1989 French Open champion Michael Chang lost his title, he said it was like getting "a bag of bricks" off his shoulders. When defending U.S. Open champion Pete Sampras was defeated by Jim Courier in last week's Open quarterfinals, he spoke of getting "the monkey off my back." Got that? It's only a slight exaggeration to say these two young Americans were happy to lose. Happy to have the burden of defending their championships lifted. Happy they wouldn't have to deal with the even greater expectations that would have followed had they won again.
"Can Chang and Sampras Make It 3-for-3?" the tennis magazine headlines would have read. People would have speculated if they were ready to be included in tennis' list of all-time greats. How awful.

Family traditions are often started in the most unusual ways. Sometimes it's difficult to trace a tradition back to its roots, but this is one that has been documented for the world to see.
This tradition began thirty years ago, when a young couple immigrated to America from Poland. When they were expecting a baby, they had little savings and no jobs, so they decided to make use of what they had. Instead of purchasing a new crib, this man built one for his newborn son.
Fast forward 30 years, and now the son who grew up in that crib is expecting his first child. In a unique labor of love, he decided to carry on his father's tradition, making a crib that is truly one-of-a-kind.
The original crib was built using only a few pieces of pine and a chainsaw.
Not much was left from the original crib after 30 years.
So, the son decided to use it as a template.
He began by cutting out the pieces.
Then, he sanded them down.
Next, it was time to assemble.
One side is finished.
The new and old, side-by-side. Looks perfect.
Time to build the attachments.
He started by adding the bottom rockers.
A faithful companion keeps him company.
Cutting the pieces wasn't too difficult with this electric saw.
But shaping and sanding were time-consuming jobs.
Looking good. Almost done.
The side pieces were then glued together.
And everything fit perfectly.
Almost done...
The finished product, and the proud father-to-be.
A timeless photo of father and son.
His father sure is proud.

Recently I heard that you should eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince and dinner like a pauper. I realised that's actually how I live my weekdays anyway… I always start with something filling and nutritious, a measly little Weetabix will never do. I follow this up with a large noodle based lunch (which is always a mid afternoon affair). By the time it comes to dinner I run out of steam, I give less of a shit about what I eat and more of a shit about how long it takes to cook. Soups & stir-fries seem to feature a lot. So give that *method a try, they do say breakfast is the most important meal of the day after all!
I try not to eat much meat in the week (for ethical reasons as well as the health benefits) but when it comes to breakfast I really struggle not to have bacon or sausages on the side. So as a feeble attempt to be pork-free I've substituted for turkey bacon. Let's be real… it's not bacon, it will never be bacon, bacon is in a league of its own, bacon is the God of meat (I could go on). But turkey bacon is tasty in its own right, it may lack in the crispy fat area but I guess that's the point. So if you're trying to reduce your fat intake then it's good one to go for.
My favourite part of this dish is the chimichurri – kiwi being the main ingredient in my version. It gives a light and delicate sweetness in contrast to the other full on flavours, but it also packs a punch at the same time. It goes really well with all meat and fish so if you're not on the turkey hype then it changes nothing!
So go forth and get your taco on.. a little bit of spice in the morning is what everyone needs.
*Method just for the weekdays – EAT LIKE A KING ALL WEEKEND!
Serves 2
- Corn tortillas (1 – 2 per person)
- Avocado, diced
- 200g cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 400g tin of mixed beans (in spicy tomato sauce, or add some passata and chilli powder)
- 1tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1tsp smoke paprika
- 3 spring onions, sliced
- ½ lime
- 4 rashers of bacon, turkey or pork
- 2 large free-range eggs
- Salt & pepper
Kiwi Chimichurri:
- 3 kiwis, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 shallot, or small sweet onion
- Handful of coriander
- Handful of parsley
- 1 green chilli
- 2tbsp white wine vinegar
- 4tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- Start by heating your oven to 180°c.
- Throw all of the chimichurri ingredients into a food processor and blitz to a sauce. Set aside for later.
- Heat small sauce pan and add cumin, paprika and garlic powder. Dry fry for a minute or so to release flavours and add mixed beans (if they come without a sauce then add a small amount of passata and chilli). Bring to the boil, stir and turn heat down to a simmer.
- Put the chopped avocado, tomato and spring onions in a bowl and mix with a good squeeze of lime juice, salt and pepper.
- Heat a tiny amount of oil in a frying pan, add the bacon and crisp up. When bacon is almost crisp add the eggs and fry for a few minutes until cooked.
- If you want to make your tortillas into the taco shapes then simply hang a tortilla over a rung of your oven rack and let them fall in a half-moon position for a couple of minutes.
- Everything should be ready for you to start assembling your tasty taco breakfast, if you're a spice freak like me then be sure to add more heat with some pickled green chillies or hot sauce.

text: As the mega-sales ramp up for Black Friday, some shoppers will rush to the malls ready to spend. Others will stay home and pinch their pennies. Both groups, according to a growing body of research, will probably end up unhappy. "Some people experience this distress a lot, where they typically spend less than they would like to, they pass up on indulgences, they buy cheaper versions when they could have bought higher quality items, and they end up kicking themselves afterwards," said Scott Rick, a marketing professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "On the other end of the spectrum," he said, people "chronically spend more than they should and end up kicking themselves, too."

Amy Schumer & Tina Fey: Comediennes Share Passionate Kiss At The Peabodys — Pics
They kissed a girl and they definitely liked it! While sharing the stage at the Peabody Awards, Amy Schumer and Tina Fey locked lips — and things got hot and heavy pretty quick. Click inside to see the pics!
Tina Fey, 45, attended the 2015 Peabody Awards to honor up and coming comedienne, Amy Schumer, 34, with an award. However, it was the moment they met on stage that really captured the audience, especially when their sweet kiss on the lips quickly escalated into something much, much more. Click inside to see!
Now that is one heck of a kiss!
It all went down at the 74th Annual Peabody Awards in New York City on Sunday night, May 31. Tina and Amy's kiss started out light, just a small peck on the lips with a respectable distance between them on the stage. But, as you can see, it definitely did not stay that way!
Soon enough, both funny ladies were wrapped up in each other and making out pretty hardcore right there in front of the audience. It looks like they may have even shared a little tongue, no? Then again, they are both great actresses who know how to sell a "passionate" kiss for the cameras. Hmm.
Later on Twitter, Amy shared a photo of her and Tina backstage, captioning it "the queen." Aw!
Of course, we're used to seeing Tina's hilarious antics on display when she's with her BFF/partner in crime, Amy Poehler, 43. Hopefully Amy P. doesn't mind that she was swapped out with a younger model for the Peabody Awards!
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — What do YOU think about Amy and Tina's kiss? Do you like her better with Poehler? Comment below!

Gag Grouper
As groupers grow they can change from a female to a male. Scientists believe that this transformation is triggered when the grouper is the right age, they are in a group of animals that are about to spawn and there are fewer males in the population. Once this change happens, it's permanent. In the wild, groupers rely on small cleaner fish to stay clean and parasite free. Their gill muscles are so powerful that it is nearly impossible to pull them out of their cave if they feel threatened and extend them in order to lock themselves in.
Mainly found in the Western Atlantic down to Mexico. Juveniles are found in estuaries and sea grass beds; adults are usually found offshore on rocky bottom, occasionally inshore on rocky or grassy bottom.
Grouper will feed on fishes, crabs, shrimp and cephalopods. Their mouth and gills form a powerful sucking system that sucks their prey in from a distance. They swallow prey rather than biting pieces off it. They do not have many teeth on the edges of their jaws, but they have heavy crushing tooth plates inside the pharynx. They lie in wait rather than chase their prey in open water.
Spawning occurs from January through May in the Gulf of Mexico to the South Atlantic.
Juvenile gag grouper fall prey to cannibalism as well as larger fishes. Sharks and other large fish are predators of adult grouper. Grouper are ranked among the most valuable fisheries in the US, the gag grouper is sought after both commercially and recreationally which makes it vulnerable to overfishing.

Sliding home: Jackie Robinson gets statue at Dodger Stadium
- by Leonard Rios
- in Medical
- — Apr 16, 2017
As the first African-American to attempt a career in the major leagues, Jackie received taunts, hate letters, even death threats.
On this day in 1947, Jackie Robinson made his Major League debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers, shattering the MLB color barrier.
A second-year player who is not yet in his mid-20s, Anderson went with some World War II-era clothes - the suspenders are a particular delight of this ensemble - to wear before switching into his No. 42 uniform for the White Sox-Twins game tonight. Over the following 12 seasons, eight of the National League MVP awards were won by black men.
On the back reads Robinson's No. 42.
Or why we owe former Dodgers general manager Al Campanis an ironic debt of gratitude for forcing the game to take a hard look in the mirror at its inability to fully assimilate African-Americans and other minorities at every level of the industry.
The statue is located in the left field reserve plaza with a view of downtown Los Angeles and Elysian Park. It weights 700 pounds and is secured with a 150-pound steel rod.
Thunder's Westbrook focused on playoffs, not historic season
According to ESPN's Ian Begley , Anthony prefers to remain in NY , but wants a commitment from management to winning immediately. Phil Jackson examined trading Carmelo Anthony before the trade deadline and said he would be "better off somewhere else".
Mumps cases in Texas reach 20-year high
The silver lining is that these numbers are moderate, compared with the number of infections before the vaccine came up in 1967. College students are especially vulnerable as they share bottles, glasses, cutlery and as they kiss and share food frequently.
Iran's Incumbent President Registers To Run In May Elections
Democracy and democratic elections are attainable by reference to the people's vote and respect to the law, he told reporters. The hopefuls will have 20 days for electoral campaigns, ahead of the election day slated for May 19.
Rachel Robinson, Jackie's widow and wife of 26 years, is said to be making the trek for the statue's reveal. "I want to get out and do more community stuff throughout the year, target the youth and let them know to not to give up on your dreams".
"Thank you Jackie Robinson!" he wrote.
That's quite a star-studded cast that will be on hand to honor Jackie Robinson and share the moment with his family.
"My dad was a humble person", Sharon said.
Sharon Robinson views the statue as a fitting connection between her father's local roots and his 10-year Hall of Fame career spent in NY.
"That's what he brought to Major League Baseball and what he learned from the Negro Leagues", Robinson's daughter, Sharon, said, "to be a more aggressive baserunner". "There's still lots and lots of struggles in this world and it's a very complicated place". I was still too young to fully process Robinson's impact.

Autonomously Enabling Actionable Intelligence
Hangar's core technology foundation is built on the knowledge that autonomous robots, the sensors they carry and the data created will completely transform the modern economy by enabling companies and entire industries to re-engineer their operations.
The Hangar RaaS Platform consists of scalable, dynamic components that direct autonomous robotics to new data that produces results for enterprises today. We push ourselves and our partners to innovate, to integrate and to develop new solutions for our enterprise customers.
We strive to engage all parties to work with a powerful common platform designed for requesting, acquiring, processing, storing and distributing data.
We hope our collective outcomes become measured in life-changing quality of life metrics that result from the practical applications of our solutions that are defining a new computer epoch; one where cognitive machines match, outperform or enhance human performance in a range of work activities.
New high resolution visual data types make machine learning predictive maintenance recommendations possible
Specialized viewers provide optimized user experiences for examining vertical structures
Human intelligence, augmented intelligence and pure computer-driven intelligence.
As this evolves our collective outcomes become measured in life-changing quality of life metrics that are outcomes of the practical applications of rapid advances in mobile robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning that are ushering in a new age of autonomicity defining a new computer epoch; one where cognitive machines match, outperform or enhance human performance in a range of work activities.
The automation and intelligence derived from these refined work activities presents unprecedented massive potential impact. Virtually no industry will be untouched by these innovations. Furthermore those of the poorest performing industries stand to be completely transformed and enjoy economic impacts that may well help lift society to new levels of shared prosperity.
That's the Hangar RaaS Platform Purpose.
The construction industry still has generally low levels of automation. That looks set to change, however, as technological advances – in robotics, for instance – open up enormous new possibilities. New technologies in the digital space (such as unmanned aerial vehicles, low-cost sensors, remote operations and autonomous control systems) could become significant enablers of innovation in construction equipment.
Crucial Platform Capabilities
Hangar's software, architecture and technology-enabled ecosystem provides a complete solution for digital transformation and actionable insight for enterprises. The best news is that engaging the power of the Hangar RaaS Platform is easier than you can imagine. You just request data and our platform kicks into gear working for you.
The holistic nature of the platform is easiest to understand from the customer's perspective. All the hassles of regulation, logistics, dispatch, safety, data conveyance, data transformation is of no concern to the customer. Data is requested easily from a map and delivered back to customers in a map powered by a very high-speed delivery engine.
Request Data
Hangar presents all captured data assets within your MapSight. Secure access is controlled by who you invite to your organization. Simple.
Requesting data is a simple "right click." Your data will be available within days and then flows as through a spigot that has been opened, capturing your sites monthly, weekly, daily or even multiple times per day. The data capture will pause or stop when you request.
From the Enterprise perspective that's as complicated as it gets. Hangar and our partners take care of all the rest.
For a demonstration and more details please contact us.
Plan & Capture
After the initial mission plan is designed a FAA Part 107 certified operator will be dispatched to arrive at your site. The operator will be briefed to follow your safety protocols as well as our own while capturing the data.
A special part of the plan and capture components of our platform is the Hangar Mobile SDK & Mission Format Standard. The Hangar Mission Format is a flexible, open specification that allows developers to describe Missions in a vendor agnostic, composable, and asset-centric way.
What are the benefits of a Mission Format Standard? For more information please see Developer page or contact us.
Please watch our JobSight Enterprise video for more details
Precision Mission Execution
The foundation of the Hangar Mobile SDK is the Mission Framework, that includes the mission format and mission execution. The mission format is a flexible, open specification that allows developers to describe missions in a vendor agnostic, asset-centric way. That's where Autopilot shines.
Hangar's Autopilot – Cornerstone for Repeatable Capture
A drone operator viewing the execution of a precision planned Autopilot mission experiences a scientific and artistic marvel. The common first reaction to watching the aircraft execute with precision, self-correcting, compensating for environmental conditions, with phenomenal accuracy adhering to the mission plan is humbling. It becomes readily obvious that operating over a large construction site is much safer than manually operating the aircraft manually.
Autopilot users and industry experts extol its benefits loudly, often and consistently. The ability to save and share missions, to persist missions as capture assets geo-tagged to a specific location or piece of infrastructure (cell tower) for future use are examples of powerful capabilities that remain unmatched in the industry today.
Underlying this fantastic technological innovation is the autonomous flight control engine that is designed to execute future missions on other mobile robotic sensor platforms as well.
Learn more about Autopilot.
Data Ingest & Transform
Anyone who has struggled with the difficulties and challenges of moving tens of gigabytes of video or other large file types knows it is complex and time consuming.
Using the Hangar RaaS Platform process is simple and easy. A tight system-level integration allows the operator to "fire and forget" uploading gigabytes of data easily, reliably and fast. Getting the data assets off the storage device and onto the platform for the transformation engines to kick off their processes is a breeze.
Data Transformation & Insight
Hangar's RaaS Platform is designed to connect a our partners' software capabilities seamlessly including transformations, object recognition, machine learning and extracting augmented intelligence insights from your data. Our job is delivering your data anyway, or ways you desire it.
Decision-makers now can compare the digitized reality data to other digital assets, like CAD and BIM models. This enables opens doors for new advanced calculations, measuring, and analysis tools; exciting things happening in the world of building "big things".
View & Receive
The JobSight family of browser-enabled viewers is our mainstream viewer solution available today. It facilitates the creation, comparison, and communication of a "digital history" of every capital project location for our enterprise partners and customers. Our partners are encouraged to build customized viewers using these reference applications along with our Hangar APIs.
All your digitized visual assets are all processed and assembled together for you. Active projects regularly captured are automatically updated to your MapSight with direct links to your JobSights within hours. JobSight is designed to organize and present your data to be optimally useful to your enterprise stakeholders.
See our developer pages to learn how we've made it easy for you to build your own industry-specific viewers on top of our platform.
It All Comes Down to Digitizing Our World
What was the status of the world around us at a specific place, and a specific time? How did will that compare to the next month, week, day, hour, or even minute? We can only see so much of our world from where we stand. But with robotics autonomously executing precisely planned missions, we'll develop a more complete, multi-dimensional understanding of how the natural and man-made structures and infrastructure of our world are evolving.
"Early technology adopters— construction firms which embrace cloud, mobile, and project management innovations that enable them to extract and capitalize on incredibly rich data insights about real-time and future project performance—will be positioned for megaproject success."

Inquiry-Based Learning in Undergraduate Engineering - Ivana Milanovic
Professor Ivana Milanovic has used problem–based and project-based learning in her classroom for years and now implements Inquiry Based Learning (IBL), which has become a popular approach in undergraduate engineering because it calls for students to envision a project or problem scenario and identify their own solutions --in ways that are more meaningful to them. With IBL, her undergraduate students are performing computer–based simulations usually reserved for the graduate level.
Junior level heat transfer and fluids classes now include a reasonable amount of research and simulation. IBL addresses the need for a broader strategy aimed at improving understanding of complex material, modeling skills, and research capabilities in the core thermo–fluids courses. It also endeavors to support students through varying ways of engaging in math, since the use of differential equations is critical to this study, and allows Milanovic to bring into her course immersive and exciting visuals that support in-depth learning.
In addition, Milanovic transformed her lecture courses into an integrated learning environment (face-to-face and online) with embedded simulations and application building. Learning modules provide step-by-step instruction with visuals, interactive simulations, and software tutorials. Theory and problems are covered in the classroom, while simulations are completed outside of class. This format makes accomplishing simulations exciting to students, thus making them more productive.
Her objectives are to:
Better illustrate thermo‐fluids concepts
Embed simulations and research in the curriculum
Facilitate application building
Use a combination of Project Based Learning (PBL) and Inquiry Based Learning (IBL)
Enhance on outside‐of‐classroom learning
