The New Year is perfect time to settle new goals and start new things in life. This year, beauty trends have set the new records to going into more eco-friendly and back to basic beauty looks. 2019 will see some smarter beauty trends which will not only enhance your look but also give scope to try something new and unique. Here are some beauty trends you should try in 2019 to get the best make up look this winter season.
1. Colour-Blocked Eyes
Colour blocked eye makeup is one of the Makeup trends 2019 to watch out for. A technique which will uphold the eye makeup into next level. It's like playing with the colour and the eyeshadow. Earlier it was all about liner and one used to create a more attractive look with the help of liner to create interesting shapes and size, but now the concept is shifted to eyeshadow.
The idea is to create the gorgeous look by creating darker and bolder hues with the help of eyeshadow. It is a transition from one eyeshadow to another shade without blending the previous one too much. Colours can be green on the lid with pink eyeshadow under your eyes. Or you can use pastel colours to fill up your eyes as soft yellow with pastel orange or green on the lower lash.
Colour blocked eye makeup is all about using pastel colour variation which gives a unique look to your eyes. For this, you can go for special pastel colour palette which gives the desired result and to your eyes.
2. 3-D Lips
3D lips are the newest addition in 2019 makeup up and beauty trends and it's ready to take the makeup industry in the storm. This trend is to create a fuller and to give depth and dimensions to your lips which are in great demands nowadays. It enhances your lips and improves the shape and structure of the lips. In this effect is needed on the borders of the lips to make it more attractive and fuller. In a way 3D lips are better as in this you don't have to go under the knife to make it attractive, instead of by using colour, the illusion of a bugger pout is created. The volume on the bottom lips is provided by spreading a lighter colour to that it gives a plumping effect and then applying a layer of transparent lip gloss to fill it. You can notice the difference and it gives a great result making your lips looks really beautiful and interesting.
3. Pastels Eyeshadows are the new beauty trends of 2019
Pastel eyeshadow is the next in this beauty trends for coming years. This winter look is the much more awaited look of the season. It can be soft and subtle but it creates a big dramatic effect to your eye makeup. The use of pigmented lilac cream eyeshadow on your eyelids along with extended makeup gives a pointed shape towards the corner of the eyes. You can say this same as cat eye but with a twist and with some new and fresh effect to your eyes. In this, the use of vibrant colours are more into trends and the ideas of mixing and matching up colours are getting eminent with these trends. Colours like pink, brown, and sky-blue and all the pastel shades are in demands and getting on the top. The best part of this eye makeup is you can make the look according to your different colourful outfits.
4. Lilac hair
One of the Beauty trends you should try in 2019 is definitely the Lilac hair. 2019 will see the return of the lilac hair dye trends and it is one of the coming year's biggest beauty trends. The smoky Lilac is the most subtle and attractive hair colour trends. It's like a modern twist to your old and boring hair. The grey trend with silver highlights is in demand and becoming everyone's favourite hair colour trends this season. This hair trend is basically silver and violet mix and smoked version of added lavender. When this colour is applied to your hair, it turns out to be very attractive hair colour, giving a most amazing look together. The colour gives a cool, Smokey and most unique look to your hair.
5. Powder nails
Powder nails are the latest Beauty and makeup trends to watch out in 2019. Powder nails are all about manicure which makes your nails last longer than normal gels and touch-ups. Dip powder nails are one kind of acrylic design. It's a mixed up your regular manicure and fake nails. You can say it's a matchup of two versions of the nails. To get the powder nails to look, the colour comes with pigmented powder which gives a powder effect in the nails. Glue called cyanoacrylate is the main ingredient in this and it is used in bonding the nails. It helps the powder to stick to your nails which gives the most prominent coating and effect. Powder nails are one of the latest beauty trends which once you start using it, you do not want to take the manicure and forget the gel nails for sure.
6. Glossy makeup
Enough of the matte makeup and now it's time to move towards the glossy makeup trends. Glossy makeup trends are back in action and now it's more into demand. So for time being, keep away all your matte beauty products inside and go with these newest trends in town. Glossy makeup doesn't only mean that you have to throw away all your matte lipstick and use lip gloss, but this time the glossy effect will extend to your skin, eyelids and face making it more shiny and glossy. Some people are afraid if glossy makeup will make their look sticky and oily but do not worry and go for some new glossy makeup products available in the market just perfect to give this fulfilling look.

Massive thanks to Eleaf for sending me the iStick Nowos to cast my beady eyes over. This kit actually got me a little bit excited… it's something slightly different!
Istick Nowos Specs:
Size: 43mm*28mm*135mm (6.5ml version)
43mm*28mm*133mm (2ml version)
Weight: 205g (6.5ml version)
200g (2ml version)
E-liquid capacity: 6.5ml / 2ml
Battery capacity: 4400mAh
Output wattage: 80W max
Output voltage: 9V max
Resistance range: 0.1-3.0Ω
Colors: black, red, blue, silver, dazzling
In the box:
1×iStick NOWOS
1×ELLO Duro Atomizer
1×HW-N Dual 0.25ohm Head
1×QC 3.0 USB Cable
2×User Manuals
Spare Parts
1×HW-M Dual 0.2ohm Head (Pre-installed)
Initial Thoughts on the iStick Nowos
Opening the box, and I was pleasantly surprised, the Nowos looks rather sleek and the lack of any buttons apart from the firing button had me rather confused. I normally don't read the manual unless I have to, and with this…. I had to! I assumed that I would need to twist the fire button to change the settings, but nope… more on this a little later.
So, the Nowos has 2 plain white side panels, the Eleaf logo on one side, and the iStick Nowos logo on the other. The edges of the mod are silver metal, with the fire button on one edge. Turn the mod around and on the opposite edge you have the charging port. On the bottom you have 4 vent holes, and on the top the nice springy 510 pin and plate.
The Nowos will accommodate tanks up to around 26mm with no overhang.
So the whole design is very minimalist and I really like this, some mods come with an endless array of buttons, artwork, engraving or lazer etching, and this is just plain… and it looks absolutely great!
The iStick Nowos Mod
So the confusing element of this mod is there is no screen as such, and no adjustment buttons, only the fire button on the edge.
5 clicks will turn the Nowos on, and then you get to see the screen. The screen is actually under the white side panel, and the read-out displays through the panel. Or the panel is the screen?…. I don't know, but this is Cool! It is different and I like new innovation.
The Nowos is a basic mod, there is no temp control, no user memory settings, no TCR… you get watts and that's it. Really not a bad thing if you don't do temp control vaping, like the whole mod the menu is plain and simple, nothing to really get your head around.
So on the screen, you have very basic info, battery percentage, ohms of your coil, and below that watts. When you press the button you get the draw timing readout, it counts up in milliseconds and displays full seconds above.
To adjust the watts, just click the fire button 3 times, and something very clever happens!! I know I'm like a child at Christmas, but this is new, and I like it! When you click the fire button 3 times, 2 little yellow lights appear on screen and this is the way that you adjust the watts. Touch the left light to lower the power, and the right light to increase. Blummin fab!
There is a small hole on the side, and the word reset so I assume this is just in case your settings freeze, or it doesn't pick up the ohms of a new coil
Istick Nowos Battery
The Nowos has an internal battery and this is one thing that I'm not keen on, I like to be able to swap my batteries out. However you are going to get a fantastic run time on this, 4400mAh. And yes it does last a while, even for me!
Charging is done via the USB type C port on the side, yep your normal mini USB won't work with this. My son tells me that USB type C is the future! (pretty sure I heard that about mini USB)
Anyhow, the Nowos supports quick charging, and rather than me try and explain this is what Eleaf state on their site:
The iStick NOWOS supports QC3.0 / PD3.0 protocol, allowing three modes of charging: DC5V/2A, DC9V/2A and DC12V/1.5A. Charging is faster than ever with this Quick Charge technology.
Now that's some pretty fast charging for a 4400mAh battery
Eleaf do provide a C type USB lead in the box, and this also has an older type mini USB adapter attached so you won't need to have 2 leads hanging about.
While charging the Nowos measures the temp of the mod for its own safety, and if the temp reaches 50c, or drops below -5c then the Nowos stops charging to protect itself, pretty clever huh! And if you switch the Nowos off while it's charging it displays battery percentage and the internal temperature on screen.
The mod comes with all normal safety protections built in, Over charge, over discharge, 10 second cut off, over current and short circuit, so you know that this mod has you covered.
Ello Duro Tank
I don't intend to review the tank that came with this kit. Its the Ello Duro tank and I already reviewed that a few months ago, and you can see that here Just to mention that this Ello Duro version has the bubble glass so holding more e-liquid and appeasing my 2ml tank OCD. And of course the filling method although easy enough will require that you remove the mouthpiece if you're using a wider chunky bottle, apart from that it's a great little tank.
How Does the Eleaf iStick Nowos Kit Vape?
Really really well! I've been vaping the Ello Duro tank with a 0.24ohm coil at around 50w and it's vaping away quite happily. The flavour is good, vapour production is pretty decent, and the battery is lasting ages, which I love!
I've also used a different tank with absolutely no problems at all, it picks up the change of ohms without any qualms.
Final Thoughts on the iStick Nowos
One thing worth a mention, you can't lock the fire button, so if you intend to pop this into your pocket, then just use the 5 clicks and switch it off. One really brilliant feature, with there being no adjustment buttons, you can't accidentally whack the power up to max and burn your throat out…. I know we've all done it at one time or another (or in my case on a weekly basis! )
The Nowos is a great mod, looks really nice, feels comfy to hold, the fire button is in a good position, and it's not heavy either.
The side panels do feel a little cheap, but they are nice and silky smooth, and actually feel great to hold. Whether these panels will start to get scratched after a few weeks worth of use remains to be seen, but they seem to be holding up pretty well so far.
Overall I love the Nowos, it's simple to use, has some great features – The on screen adjustment lights (non existent buttons) and temp protected charging. And I can go out for the day with it and not be worried that I'm going to be left high and dry without power as the battery has died, 4400mAh really is fantastic!
The Nowos is suitable for new vapers (due to it's simple operation) and seasoned vapers alike, simplicity has never been quite so…. simple!
Will the Eleaf iStick Nowos be retired to the shelf? – Definitely not, I can see this being a daily device for the foreseeable future
Ceekays Shack Score
I only intend to score the Nowos mod, as the tank has been done previously. I could minus half a point for the internal battery, but that really wouldn't be fair as changeable batteries are just a personal preference for me, and 4400mAh isn't to be sneezed at anyhow. I really can't see any other negative points about this mod, so the Nowos scores an extremely well deserved 5/5 Well done Eleaf!
Check out the iStick Nowos here on the official Eleaf site, where you can pick one up for $98.57-$117.30 or check out your local Eleaf stockists.

It's time for Apple to take a new approach to product releases ↦
We'll fix it in post.
It's a longstanding joke in the podcast community—when somebody flubs a line or misspeaks during recording, we just kick the can down the road and repair it in editing. (For shows that actually do editing, anyway.)
But lately it's started to seem like a more common occurrence across the tech industry, and even Apple's jumped aboard the train. We've seen a number of places where Apple announced a particular feature shipping in a product—whether it be a new hardware device or a major software update—only to eventually release the product without said feature, promising it in a subsequent software update. The most recent example is the HomePod, which will lack support for multi-room audio, stereo pairing, and AirPlay 2 when it ships next month. But before that, we had iOS 11's promised Messages in iCloud, Apple Pay Cash (which did ship in a later point release), and, again, AirPlay 2.
These sorts of things do happen, of course, and while you can chart examples back into earlier eras, the high number and profile of these situations recently has me looking back to what might be the root of the issue.

Analysis of Epistasis Correlation on NK Landscapes with Nearest-Neighbor Interactions
Martin Pelikan (2011)
Abstract. Epistasis correlation is a measure that estimates the strength of interactions between problem variables. This paper presents an empirical study of epistasis correlation on a large number of random problem instances of NK landscapes with nearest neighbor interactions. The results are analyzed with respect to the performance of hybrid variants of two evolutionary algorithms: (1) the genetic algorithm with uniform crossover and (2) the hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm.

We have 2 list fetches and want to exclude nodes from the first fetch in the second fetch. The parent_node_ids are the same as well as the class_attribute_filter. Is there anyway to do this without an extended attribute filter or unnecessarily fetching the same node twice?
Ideally we would pass an array of node ids to the second fetch and these would be excluded.
Tuesday 05 May 2009 8:30:10 am
This is not possible I'm afraid. You have to use extended attribute filter if you want to filter on specific node ids. I don't know details behind your implementation logic, but it might be also possible to use offset and max params for foreach template function if you want to skip some first nodes in second loop. Then only one fetch could be used.

Hey Łukasz,
I was able to use the offset method in a couple tpl locations but we also have an eZ Flow zone with 2 dynamic blocks that could benefit from this. Both blocks use eZFlowLatestObjects -- same class and parent; just a different number of active results.

I just wanted to file a note here that I used Frédéric' attribute filter suggestion today and it worked perfectly for me! I used this attribute filter for example:
'attribute_filter', array( array( 'path', 'not_like', '*/220/*' ) ),
I hope this helps!
Monday 13 October 2014 4:12:16 am
Brief update here. After some time we found we needed to exclude more than one node path and switched to a section based exclude which we think is simpler to maintain and use. Re: less template changes based on content changes.
'attribute_filter', array( array( 'section', '!=', '7' ) ),
I hope this helps!

is a synthetic hexapeptide consisting of 6 natural amino acids. It blocks the release of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine in the skin which weakens the contraction of the facial muscular system. Thus, the facial expression, wrinkles and lines are smoothed out. Argireline demonstrably reduces the wrinkle depth and slows down the wrinkling process.
Snap-8 is a Bottom of Formsmall protein consisting of 8 natural amino acids. This revolutionary active ingredient of the peptide family based on botulinum toxin reduces the contraction of the facial muscular system tremendously and smoothens out deep wrinkles and lines on your face. Up to the present day, Snap-8™ is the safest and most effective alternative to wrinkle injections and thus the most expensive active ingredient when it comes to preventing wrinkles in a non-evasive way on your forehead, upper lip or around your eyes.
Highly effective sea plankton extract (instant effect after 15 mins.). The effect of the macro molecule unfolds itself in several ways. One of the objectives is the skin's collagen matrix which is lifted within minutes. Clinical studies found that the wrinkle depth is reduced by up to 16 %.
is hyaluron in its purest form is a substance that is extracted biotechnologically. It penetrates the skin perfectly due to its molecular size and moistens it extensively, fills up fine lines and smoothens out wrinkles by increasing the skin's moisture content. Hyaluronic acid is a vital substance in the human body and works true wonders when the quality and dosage is right
DMS is a part of the "membrane family". In contrast to the liposomes and nano particles which consist of native PC DMS contains a hydrated PC (fatty acid composition: stearic acid, palmitic acid) which stands out due to its ceramidic characteristics.
Based on the active principle of the snake venom of the pitviper. The facial muscle tension is relieved and makes facial wrinkles disappear. Due to SYN-AKE's slightly anesthetizing effect less stimuli are passed on and, thus, you "unlearn" the unnatural and unwanted wrinkling of your face permanently.
Collagen is a molecule which is in charge of the structural formation in the human skin. It consists of rope-like structures which connect themselves and become fibres with a high cohesiveness and make sure that the skin is tight. Collagen is one of the most vital elements for the tensioning strength and elasticity of the skin.

For starters, check out Amnesty International Ireland's human rights education resources and the international HRE resources.
There are resources for both primary and post-primary schools, for youth and for adult education contexts. They feature resources by theme (the death penalty, action projects for CSPE, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights etc.), by subject area (Geography, CSPE, Art, poetry etc.) and by campaign (support for children detailed on the US/Mexican border). The UK site has resources for all levels (including higher education) plus videos, animations, games, PowerPoints etc.
1. First, a general activity: most of the material presented here can be readily used as the basis for the development of a debate ('Human Rights Day' is marked more by the abuse of rights worldwide than by their observance'); for the creation of a poster or set of posters to stimulate discussion further. These can then be used to share the discussion with a bigger audience.
2. Read and then re-read the Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights agreed by the United Nations in 1948
- What keywords and ideas stand out for you and your group in the Preamble and discuss their relevance today
- Identify examples from around the world today where the issues referred to in the Preamble are highlighted. Try to pick both positive and negative examples. What do these case studies tell us about human rights today?
- Think about situations in your own life to date where human rights issues came into play. What were the issues and what do they tell us about human rights in everyday life?
3. Use the data and argument on the main page of the Freedom in the World 2018 report by Freedom House to compose a newspaper editorial (or an audio file) on 5 key facts from the Report and what their implications are for human rights worldwide.
- Measuring Freedom – have a look at the Methodology section of the Report, particularly that on Scoring Process which briefly describes how Freedom is measured in the Report across its various dimensions. Why does the Report use a variety of criteria to score countries and what does it tell us about different country scores? How does the process help us understand human rights better?
- Look at the Report's graphics section and choose one graphic that strikes you most – why? Summarise what it is saying in one sentence. What does the graph tell us about human rights?
- Use the Report to prepare a 5-minute speech (to the UN, the Dáil, a group of young people or a church event?) on Key Human Rights Issues of particular concern to young people/women/migrants/Gays in the world today
4. Have a look at this 2016, award winning Indian video on human rights by Anuj Ramachandran
- What are the 3 things that strike you most about the film? Why? Compare the different responses within your group
- What symbols does the film use to discuss human rights? What do the symbols have to say to us?
- In what ways might this Indian film differ or be the same as one from Ireland or the US for example?
5. Go to the website of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights ohchr.org/EN/Pages/Home.aspx Write a review of the site – What did you find? What surprised? What was useful to you? What's missing? Send on your review to the Commissioner firstname.lastname@example.com
6. Go to cartoonmovement.com and pick out 3 human rights cartoons that appeal to you. What are they about and why do they appeal to you? What messages are they presenting? What images do they use? Compare your choices with those of others.

By: TCM Editorial
By Ger McNallyDESPITE featuring a host of fringe players, two of the biggest clubs in the county played out an entertaining game in Old Grange last Saturday afternoon.
On the sort of spring afternoon that puts a pep in your step, a severely weakened St Laurence's team pushed Moorefield all the way and it was only in the last ten minutes, with the aid of fresh legs from the sideline, that the Newbridge men pulled clear.
Laurence's were short their county men, their Sigerson Cup contingent and the injured Niall Clynch, Sean Murphy, Barry Mackey and Mossie Doyle but they really took the game to Moorefield in the opening quarter.
John Fogarty was revelling at midfield. He dominated the early part of the game and it was his delicious pass that set Bart Blanchfield up for a sixth minute goal.
That came sandwiched in between points from Ronan Lawler and Sean Higgins but Laurence's could have been even further in front when Lawler bore down on Tom Corley's goal shortly after Blanchfield had netted. Unfortunately for the home team, his shot was wide of the target.
Gradually Moorefield, fielding an experimental side themselves, came into the game as midfield pair David Whyte and Jason Philips began to exert a real influence over the middle third.
They still had to wait until the 18th minute for their first score of the game though as Whyte tapped over a free and then five minutes later, Ger Naughton got forward from wing back to score a second point.
Laurence's response to that scoring burst from Moorefield was to go down the other end of the pitch and land the score of the game as Fogarty sent the ball soaring over the crossbar from just outside the Moorefield 45 four minutes before half time. That turned out to be Laurence's last score until deep into injury time.
Lee Murphy's point late in the opening half meant that only Blanchfield's goal separated the teams as they headed for their half time chats, 1-3 to 0-3.
Moorefield dominated possession and territory in the second half but, understandably at this stage of the season, seemed rusty and lacking a cutting edge in attack.
Despite all the ball that they had, Moorefield didn't score in the second half until Philly Wolfe set up Jason Philips in the 46th minute.
Two minutes later Laurence's had a great goal opportunity on a rare second half attack but JP Byrne shot narrowly past Corley's upright. Moorefield only really livened up with the introduction of Niall Hurley-Lynch and Frank Hannifey for the final 12 minutes. Hurley-Lynch was only on the pitch three minutes when he split the Laurence's crossbar with a terrific effort.
Moorefield took the lead for the first time in the 54th minute when stand in Laurence's 'keeper Ronan Skeane failed to deal with a high ball in his square. The ball squirmed from his grasp and Padraigh O'Flynn showed real predatory instincts to somehow squeeze the ball into the net from a ridiculously tight angle. Hannifey and Whyte added points and the increasing Moorefield pressure told when the tricky Aaron Mullins was felled inside the square. Wolfe converted the penalty but referee Dave Coady made him retake the kick. The Moorefield full forward made no mistake again as he stuck the ball in the exact same spot in the goal.
JP Byrne finally got Laurence's first score of the second half just as the clock moved past 60 minutes but the lively Hurley-Lynch had the final say with the final attack of the game to secure Moorefield's second Aldridge cup win of the season.
MOOREFIELD: Tom Corley; Ricky Maguire, Liam Keane, Lee Murphy .-.; Damian Mullally, Alan Melia, Ger Naughton .-.; Jason Philips . David Whyte .-. (.f); Padraigh O'Flynn .-., Gareth Duffy, Adam Tyrell; Eddie Heavey, Philip Wolfe .-. (.pen), Aaron Mullins.

The Mark VI Omni-Environmental Suit is an advanced piece of pre-war technology. The Suits were created by The Ministry of Peace and likely had help from The Ministries of Image, Arcane Science and Wartime Technology.
The suits were distributed to foals within Canterlot, during the last day. Emergency personnel were helping fillies and colts into their environmental outfits during the final hours, hoping they would be able to withstand the effects of the fallout, should the megaspells strike before they could get the foals to safety of either a Stable or outside the megaspell radius of detonation.
The suits did keep their occupants alive, at the cost of denying them death. A special talisman, with necromantic properties, prevented the foals inside from dying. This was due to Fluttershy's good intentions, hoping to save the foals from death, no matter the cost.
The yellow-suited foals did survive the war, either as ghouls or similar abominations, trapped and denied death. They sought out their parents and galloped off into the Equestrian Wasteland. Many went mad, killing anypony they came across. The other foals, scared of being alone followed the herd until it vanished. Many of them were killed and they were eventually forgotten by all, except those ghouls that were around when they first showed up.
Puppysmiles suit was the last to activate, the filly awoke inside the collapsed ruins of her pre-war home in Clover Leaf Terrace, a suburb of Canterlot. The suit guided Puppysmiles to each MoM location across Route 52, until she found her mother.
The suit includes an artificial intelligence, which Puppysmiles refers to as Mr. Voice. The A.I. is programmed to be as helpful and informative as possible. It has no capacity for growth, and merely proceeds with its functions. The A.I. will make announcements like objectives completed and things Puppy shouldn't do.
The suit had a built in radio, allowing the foal within to tap into radio stations. It also had features, that allowed A.I. like P7 & SolOS access to the suits sensors. The suit could also take phone calls and make them. The suit had a similar function to a PipBuck, where it can instantly identify items, like The Rock of Destiny .The Suit had two saddlebags, attached to either side of the suit for storing items. The front legs of the suit also were equipped with several pockets.
The suit is able to monitor the vitals of it's occupant and can determine the status and faction of other ponies/griffins. For example, it can identify Applejack's Rangers and determine if they are dead. The suit could also restart itself after EMP blasts, just like Steel Ranger Power armor.
Built in Spells
- The suit has a built in EFS for determining friendlies and hostiles.
- A levitation spell that would hold things for the foal wearing the suit. The spell could levitate & operate a gun for a foal. The suit's spell was primarily used to pick up and store items.
- The suit also has repair features that close up any holes in the suit
- Necromantic Soul Binding Spell. A Zebra Talisman spell that binds the soul of the wearer to the suit, in a last ditch effort to save them.
- Created by the Ministry of Peace
- Many of the Foals wearing the suits went mad
- Was unable to prevent Pink Cloud from entering and killing the wearers who would become Ghosts upon "awakening"
- The only way to kill the foals inside, was to destroy the talisman binding them to the suit
- The Suits are based, aesthetically on the Radiation suits in Fallout 3 & New Vegas

Power Washing - Lorton, VA
Power wash house service in Virginia & Maryland
Houses can dirty on the outsides. Their exteriors face the elements 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They can accumulate dirt, grime, and mud. The exterior paint can start to dull and the paint may even start to fall off. When a house has such symptoms, you know that the remedy is a cleaning.

To make matters worse, it is never easy washing a house from the outside as the amount of surface area that needs cleaning is just too much to handle.

Are you a compulsive spender? Could your finances be out of control and you don't even realize it? If so, you're probably in the same position as millions of other people in this country. Let me give me the top three signs to which you need to pay attention.
1. You Ignore Your Bank Balance
How many of us go to the Cash Point/ATM and when we're asked if we want to see our balance decide we don't want to go there? That used to be me so often. I used to hate that screen. I used that sheet hate going to withdraw money because I didn't want to see that message. The same applied to receiving bank statements. I used to let these pile up in the corner because I didn't want to open them as I knew how they would make me feel. That was the first sign that I wasn't in control of my finances. Of course, I knew on subconscious level that things were a little bit out of control but I was still managing to buy things on my credit card so I convinced myself that, actually, things were probably fine when they really weren't. I was building up a huge problem which then took me many, many years to unroll. So, if you're in that position, if you never check your bank balance or never open any correspondence from the bank or credit card companies, then that's the first thing you need to change because that's the first sign that you might be a compulsive spender.
2. You Spend On A Whim
We all do this on some level. These days there are sales on all the time and it's very easy to pick things up and start buying them without thinking about the consequences. If you do that on a small scale, that's one thing but quite often the problem is bigger than that. For example, for me it was technology. I was always upgrading my mobile phone or buying a new laptop or some kind of gadget that I just had to have – that's another really strong sign that your finances are out of control. If you can buy large ticket things on a whim without thinking about the consequences then that is the second sign that your finances might be out of control and that you need to do something about it.
3. You Feel You Have No Control Over Your Cash
Do you feel that you're a bystander when it comes to your money? Do you feel that money comes into your bank account and then goes out and you're almost powerless to stop it? Or at least, even if you know to some extent, you have an influence on your cash, it feels like it's largely outside of your control. If so, that' s the third sign that you could potentially have problems with your finances.
If any of the above points resonate with you I want you to do something really powerful today. I want you to make a commitment to yourself that you are going to take control of your finances right here, right now. Once you make that one simple commitment that you're going to make things change, then things will happen, usually very quickly. The second thing I want you to do is to start getting a bank balance every time you get to the Cash Point/ATM. However scary that might seem, once you get into the habit of doing that you'll begin to start picking up on the patterns that are going on with your finances and you'll know that, for example, when you get to week three and there's only £135 in the bank that that's going to be a problem. Start by following those two simple steps and you'll start to turn your finances around.

Huatabampito, Sonora – Isolation and Car Repairs
Posted in Mexico, Sonora, The Van on October 10, 2010| 11 Comments »
I thought about changing the entire name of the blog to "Isolation and Car Repairs" because so far that seems to be about all I have to write about. We find ourselves in the tiny little beach town of Huatabampito, Sonora. We are again the only rig in the RV park. Still wondering whether it is the safety situation or it is still to early in the season (mucho calor) that has us so isolated. I'm guessing a little bit of both.
The AC unit is working great. It was really comfortable in the van last night but both of us had trouble sleeping for a variety of reasons…
The van is already acting up again. More electrical issues. Two more cables got changed today once it cooled off a bit. This time the electrical gremlins have manifested themselves in a short to the stereo (ghast) every time we hit a bump (its Mexico, so every 45 seconds or so), the headlights, and the in-dash AC unit.
Something akin to plastic or rubber hit something hot that it shouldn't have in the engine compartment in the middle of Navojoa sending smoke billowing into the van and forcing an emergency pull-over. Not sure what it was, there were no signs of any problems when I opened the hood and it never happened again. I zip-tied the shit out over everything loose to try to prevent a repeat occurrence.
Also the house battery doesn't seem to be charging like it should. Opened the dash and all the shaking and rattling seems to have seriously deteriorated a positive battery cable this time and a ground on the house battery. So el mechanico (me) made another appearance today and we'll hope that solves it. It is beginning to challenge our resolve a bit. We have talked about potentially taking the ferry from Mazatlan to La Paz and driving home up Baja should it continue. Hopefully this repair will be the last of it and we'll continue on.
We were able to test out our new shade and bug fortress today. The wind made for constant adjustments but it is pretty nice and we'll get it figured out.
Huatabampito (or little Huatabampo) is a sleepy little spot, there are some locals on the beach today since it is Sunday but there isn't much going on. We are here for two days, but we'll be anxious to head to El Fuerte tomorrow morning. Huatambito isn't somewhere we'd normally stay for two days but we have a new rule of the road: no driving on Sundays, because there are no mechanics open on Sundays!
Oh, and Natalie got stung by a sting ray today and never made it past 8 inches of water.
A note about Guide Books
Posted in Mexico, Sinaloa, Sonora on October 9, 2010| 4 Comments »
We are using two guide books as our primary sources of information. It is amazing how different they are. The Lonely Planet Mexico doesn't even mention Hotel Playa Cortes in Miramar/Guaymas and its one of the "better spots in the area for travelers heading to points further South" as the Mexican Camping guide book eloquently put it. But the Mexican Camping book barely mentions El Fuerte as a better jumping off point for Barranca del Cobre (Copper Canyon) while the Lonely Planet raves about the colonial mining town and how it saves you three plus hours over Los Mochis. The moral of the story is to have multiple sources of information and compare. Then, after you've digested all the advice, find your own way.
On the road again Part II – Guaymas, Sonora
Posted in Mexico, Sonora, The Van on October 9, 2010| 2 Comments »
Our first night of AC in the van alternated between freezing and sweating, we don't quite have the settings worked out yet but the good news is the AC works! We spent our first night in another desolate RV park just outside of Guaymas, however this park is attached to a beautiful hotel with lots of amenities that are available to the campers. So we spent the morning lounging, swimming, walking the grounds and checking out the set-up for the wedding. The bride and grooms table was the most impressive bling going. A definite must-have for you soon to be hitched readers.
On the road again…

Retorno a los Estados Unidos
Posted in Mexico, Sonora, The Van on September 30, 2010| 5 Comments »
Something had to be done about the van, the heat and the bugs combined with the u-joint issue and a mounting list of other minor mods was a pretty daunting list to attack in Mexico. During the night in our resort hotel room in San Carlos we decided that the six hour drive back to the states would be worth it. We'd be able to get our issues solved in Tucson and start again.
The drive back from San Carlos to the border was uneventful and pretty easy. We were pretty happy with our decision and even happier when we saw the line at the border. 40 minutes max. Granted Mariposa isn't San Ysidro but 40 minutes would be easy. And it was. Right up until the point that we were next in our line to greet the border patrol agent. The van overheated. With a rather surrendering demeanor, Natalie sheepishly walked through the line. Apparently this happens all the time since the three customs and immigration officers were joking with me as we pushed our 9000 lb van through the border that pushing cars across the border was the only exercise they got.
Two hours and secondary inspection later, the van cooled down sufficiently and fired up and we were on the road for the almost two hour drive to north Tucson to my old Scoutmaster's house. Ron and Jan Talbot were so very gracious to put us up for a few days, feed us, and take care of us while we sorted out our issues. We were pretty stoked for some AC and respite from our misadventures. And then Natalie sprained her ankle getting out the van. Crutches and everything. Awesome.
San Carlos
Posted in Mexico, Sonora, The Van on September 30, 2010| 2 Comments »
San Carlos is amazingly beautiful. Its amongst the most picturesque places I've been. But it is going to be hard to remember it fondly.
We rolled in to San Carlos about 9:30 Sunday night. We found what the guide books had called "the best RV park in San Carlos". Not exactly our most favorite locale so far. It was clean, well kept, the security guard was extremely helpful and even walked us down to the closest, still-open, bar for a cool-down drink. It even had free wifi, which I had planned on utilizing. But it was the worst kind of RV park. Stall after stall of electric hook-ups, water spigots, and waste dump pipes. It was uninspiring, no privacy from other campers (had there actually been any), no views, just off the main highway, and some hotels for neighbors. Literally, it is pretty damn hard to find somewhere in San Carlos that isn't stunning – you have to try, hard… plus it was 300 pesos a night.
And then there were the bugs. The park is right next to standing water. Freshwater. The mosquitos, gnats, no-see-ums were amongst the worst we'd encountered so far. It was readily apparent that our bug proofing modifications to the van had little effect. We rolled out of there at the first sign of light. We quickly noticed an AC dealer a few meters down the street and stopped in to ask about a unit for the van. They thought they might be able to help us but we'd have to come back tomorrow. Hmmm… I've heard that one before.
We took to checking out San Carlos and all it had to offer. A pretty cool place all-in-all, with good fishing and diving. Lots to do and see. One such place is a quintessential expat bar called the Soggy Peso. A fabulous little hang-out where the guidebook touts the margarita as "amongst the best in all of Mexico". We had to confirm this. Had to. So we roll out to the end of the road to where this splendid little joint resides and spent the rest of the day drinking and cajoling with other gringos. In our search for respite from the battle royale that had become our nightly ritual (insects vs. heat) we asked the waiter if it was safe to camp on the beach. He said it was and that the resort next door and the subdivision on the other side both had security guards that patrolled it at night and didn't let the unsavory types in.
So after all the patrons stumbled home to their hotels and condos we fired up the van and drove out on the beach to camp in the cool sea breeze.
The sand was pretty soft and we started to spin a bit, I decided that the wet sand would be harder and despite Natalie's objections I veered off into the wet stuff. In my defense, the wet sand in places with waves is indeed harder and easier to drive on. Apparently there are no waves in the Sea of Cortez to accomplish this phenomenon. So I drove us off of the soft stuff into the really soft stuff. Where we sunk.
We then spent the next 45 minutes digging out the tires and trying to get out, forward, reverse. Nada.
About now the aforementioned security guard has spotted us and has started flashing his light at us. I flash mine back and he walks down the beach to witness our predicament first hand. No bueno, mucho mal. El mar está subiendo, que tendrá su coche. Um yeah. Got it. Even my bad Spanish caught that one. Bummer. The tide is rising, it will take your car out to sea. Awesome. No worries he says, you have 4-5 hours. Did I mention it is about 10:30 at night. At least it isn't Sunday this time. The security guard decides that he and I should go to reception at the hotel and call his friend with a winch on the front of his truck. We head to reception, leaving Natalie on the beach – alone, continuing to try to dig out the tires; the receptionist (who speaks pretty perfect English) explains to me that the guard doesn't have his friends' phone number but that his friend knows the police and they will know how to find him.
Awesome… now they are calling the police and we have to play a game of phone tag on latin time to find the one guy in San Carlos with a winch strong enough to pull us out. The security guard has also made it clear that he expects some compensation for his efforts in order to get some refreshments after work (not that he doesn't deserve it, but still).
We head back to the car to find Natalie covered in sand; every square inch and every orifice. And she is super happy with me. Super stoked to be my girlfriend at this point. We give it one more try to back it out since her efforts at digging out looked fairly promising. We got about 8 inches. Having had enough of this escapade, Natalie and the security guard head up to solid ground to eat cookies and kick it with the now arrived police, who proceed to tell stories of other dumb gringo tourists who have lost their rides to the sea. While I'm sure that these stories are probably mostly-true, and undoubtedly hysterical given the time and place, I'm feeling a bit nervous that the winch won't show till just after the van is fully inundated with salt water.
Just as the tide is within worrying distance of the tires, winch-guy shows up. He walks down to the beach takes a couple long looks at it and says it is going to be double. "Are you sure you want to pay double?" Granted, I don't know double "what", but whatever double turns out to be it has to be less than letting the van get sucked out to sea by the tide. $1500 pesos later, the van was on solid ground and I was silently driving Natalie to the resort for a de-sanding shower and some AC. Our free night of camping had turned into a $2400 peso near-catastrophe.
