Wix.com Review – The Flexible Website Builder
The Wix website builder has become incredibly well known over the last few years, in part due to budget busting-marketing efforts like the #StartStunning Super Bowl 50 campaign. Today Wix is the biggest player in the website builder landscape and hosts a whopping 80 million websites.
The visually impressive layouts are designed for small businesses, restaurants, online stores and artists such as musicians and photographers. They are optimized for mobile devices and can be spiced up with one of the numerous apps available from the Wix App Market.
Wix is available for free for as long as you want, but if you require professional features like your own domain name or priority support, you can choose from one of their five premium plans ranging from "Connect Domain" to "VIP (only US)".
Does their commercial success really reflect the quality of their website builder? Our Wix review will now tell you what's good and what's bad about this product.
Take a look inside of Wix
In this video you'll see how we managed to create a lookalike of U2's home page in only 36 minutes using Wix.
Using this tool from the Wix App Market allows your website visitors to schedule online appointments with you.
Designs: the most remarkable thing about Wix is its templates. The designs are exceptional and offer pre-built layouts for many different industries.
It's extremely flexible: whereas other website builder limit the extent to which elements can be moved around, Wix allows your to finish your work off "pixel perfect".
Adding animations: Wix is one of the few site builders that let you animate text and other elements. But make sure not to overdo it!
App Market: There are hundreds of third party apps that you can add to your website. There is a newsletter tool, live chat software, online booking widgets, etc. All of those can be easily integrated into your Wix website. But keep in mind: most of them are third party apps—if they get shut down you can't complain to Wix.
Pricing: the cheapest ad-free plan with Wix is called Combo, which starts at $8.25 per month (compare Wix's premium plans). The competition offers cheaper options: Jimdo's cheapest plan without any advertising starts at around $6.50, for example.
Templates can't be changed: once you've chosen your initial template, you are locked in with it. You can certainly change the design within the template, but you cannot pick an entirely new one.
No access to the source code: unlike a few of their competitors, Wix doesn't let you edit the HTML or CSS of your website. For most, this won't really be a big issue. If you only want to add certain HTML widgets to your pages, that's not a problem as you can see in the video:
Wix in Detail
|Ease of use
|The editor is very easy to understand. If you are stuck, the FAQ section will help. Short introductory videos give instructions on the different functions.
|Choice and flexibility of design (templates)
|The designs look professional and allow for pixel-perfect customizations. There's a mobile-friendly version that can be adapted individually. You are also able to embed videos in the background and even upload your own fonts to the Wix editor.
|Ad-free only from the premium plan "Combo". The free version and the Connect Domain plan show some pretty visible Wix-ads.
|The editor supports 16 languages. Multilingual sites are generally possible. More info can be found in their support pages.
|Your own domain name (e.g. .com or .net)
|Free domain name for one year included from the premium plan "Combo" only. Wix supports these and other domain endings: .com, .org, .net, .co.uk and .info. Renewal prices start at $14.95 per year. Using the "Connect Domain" package (and higher) it is possible to move your existing domain to Wix or point it from another domain registrar to Wix. More information.
|Depth of navigation
|A maximum of two levels are possible. A third level would be desirable.
|Widgets (small tools to add extra functionality)
|Wix App Market features a wide range of unique widgets and apps. We especially like Wix Music, to sell and promote music, and Wix Bookings that will let your customers book and pay for appointments and consultations. External applications can be easily integrated as well.
|You can integrate Google Adsense via their App store. Another possibility is banner ads and affiliate links.
|An online store is included in the "eCommerce" package. You can also test the function in the other plans. Read our detailed review of the Wix Online Store here.
|Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
|Page titles, meta descriptions, and alt tags can be added individually. Unfortunately, you won't be able to customize these elements for the blog.
|The blog is quite basic and not SEO-friendly. You can't modify the URL, title or description. Visitors can leave comments via Facebook and Disqus. It's possible to schedule blog posts.
|Visitor statistics
|In order to access statistics, Google Analytics must be integrated in advance.
|Contact form
|There is a simple contact form builder.
|Password protection
|Exemplary! Pages can be allocated an individual password, or users can be set up and managed with their own login.
|Newsletter tool
|You can use Wix's own "ShoutOut" newsletter service. It's very easy to use but not as powerful as specialized external providers. For alternatives take a look at our email marketing pricing calculator.
|Add HTML code
|Embed various widgets and other tools by means of an integrated app.
|Storage space
|500 MB - 20 GB. Please note that there is also a monthly bandwidth limit in most plans (only relevant for very large websites).
|Can be embedded via app.
|Support center, forum, phone. The documentation is very detailed and clearly explained. If you get stuck, you can submit your question to the forum. Answers are usually prompt.
|Fun Factor
|Starting up is very playful and, initially, impressive results are achieved quickly. Wix gives you a lot of freedom in the design process.
|Overall Rating
|Smart website builder with optical delights. Easy to use and as flexible as it can get. It's the perfect website builder for photographers, bands, artists and any kind of portfolio site. Try it for free.
Wix's selection of highly modern layouts and impressive animations made a particularly good impression on us. The App Market is a very useful tool which makes the implementation of additional features such as photo and slider galleries into your website as easy as adding an app to your smartphone.
There is no doubt that the templates look very attractive, but they also come with some very basic flaws. If you want a good looking website on your mobile device, you need to arrange your elements manually.
Another shortcoming is that you cannot change your template once you have made your initial choice. Other website builders need only a few clicks to swap one template for another. That's the price for Wix's great flexibility of the editor.
Using Wix has a completely different feel than, for instance, Jimdo or Weebly—whether or not this is a good thing depends on your personal preferences. Wix offers much more creative freedom, but in turn requires you to pay more attention to detail. You will be likely to accidentally move objects or re-arrange your website if you're not careful.
Wix is particularly good for impressive presentation scenarios. Artists, bands, photographers and other creative users will be very happy with Wix if they want a great platform on which to present themselves with style.
As mentioned before, Wix also allows you to sell your goods on your website, but if you are considering running an eCommerce shop, we encourage you to read our Wix Online Shop review first.
Wix has created a product that certainly is impressive in many ways, but you should be aware that it comes with a few minor flaws.
Is Wix the right website builder for you?
- you need cutting-edge templates with ready-made designs for your industry (e.g. architecture, fashion, advertising, jewelry, restaurant, hotel etc.)
- you are a photographer and want to showcase your images in stunning galleries
- you are a musician or band and want to sell music online
- you need a lot of flexibility customizing your design.
- you want to be able to add additional apps easily (e.g. appointment scheduler for clients, event calendar, forum etc.)
- you require an integrated newsletter tool
- you require top-notch SEO
- your main goal is blogging
- you need email addresses included with no extra costs
- you are going to create a complex website with more than 30 pages
Wix Example Sites
A little side-note: HTML5-Websitebuilder.com is our own Wix demo website and ranks surprisingly well in Google for a pretty competitive keyword: "html5 website builder". Usually it's on the first page of the search results. So don't believe those who say that you can't rank a Wix website on search engines!
User Opinions about Wix
Alternatives to Wix
A few comments:
Weebly is a great Wix alternative as it's extremely intuitive and easy to use. Its templates are not quite as stylish (or as numerous) as Wix's. You have the option to work with different editor accounts on your website, which is great for teams. There are some very advanced features like a membership area and an online store, which feels more mature compared to Wix.
Jimdo is similar to Weebly and offers a nice all in one bundle—you have a domain name, email address(es) and the website builder all in one package. Although Jimdo has revamped its designs, Wix's templates are currently second to none. Worth a try if you don't like Wix's web editor concept.
We picked the One.com Web Editor as an alternative as the website editor is quite similar to the one of Wix. Not nearly as sophisticated, but a viable alternative for smaller websites. Their prices can be as low as $40 per year including domain name and email accounts.
FAQ about Wix
How do I use a domain name that I already own?
After logging into your Wix Account you will see the "Domains" menu. Here you can simple enter the domain name that you want to use. If you have already registered the domain name they will show you how you can transfer it or point it to Wix (see screenshot). Simply click here and search for "transfer domain".
Does the "Connect Domain" plan really show ads?
Yes, it does. For an example, you can check our demo site www.html5-websitebuilder.com.
Do I need my own web space to use Wix?
No, Wix is a hosted website builder. What that means is that by signing up they will provide everything you need for a complete website: the editor, the web space and a domain name. For a proper .com or .net domain you will have to purchase one of their premium plans.
If I use Wix to build my website, will they own my content?
No, Wix will not become the owner of your content. Here is what their terms of service say: "Wix does not claim any intellectual property rights over the User Content[…]" (TOS: 15. User Content D.)
The same applies if you purchase a domain name through them. They will never own it and you are free to transfer it to another domain registrar.
Does Wix run both on PC and Mac?
Wix runs in your web browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge), it doesn't matter if you are using a Mac or PC. Just make sure your browser is up to date!
Wix Uptime
This widget shows the so-called "uptime" of our Wix demo website within the last month. When a website goes down, it means that no one is able to access it. The closer the uptime is to 100%, the better it is. Anything less than 99.90% is considered relatively poor. "Outages" shows how many times it went blank and "Downtime" gives you the total amount of time it was down within the last month.
Wix Server Response Time
Here you can see the number of milliseconds it takes to get a response from Wix's servers. A value in between 200-500ms is relatively good: more than 800ms can feel slow to the website visitor. Wix's servers are located in the USA, which means that loading times are fastest there. All of these numbers are updated in real-time.
Wix Page Speed
|User Experience (mobile)
|Template 1
|Template 2
|Template 3
|Average Rating
Loading speed has become an increasingly important ranking factor for Google. That's why we selected three random Wix templates and tested them for their page speed using Google PageSpeed Insights. Anything below 70 is relatively poor, a rating of above 80 is considered as good. The maximum is 100 points.

Additional Information
Olive oil may be France's best kept secret. The small amount produced is usually kept for themselves.
We're about to change that with the help of Jean Reno, the award-winning actor and olive grower. Living in the Maussane-les-Alpilles region of Provence, historically renowned for its olives, Reno has become passionate and knowledgeable about olives and their precious oil.
To make his olive oil, great care is taken at every step of the traditional process, and you can taste it in every drop. We are proud to exclusively provide Reno's olive oils to the American market.
Green Fruity, or Fruite Vert, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Green olives are aged for one to two days only
- Juice is extracted and filtered, not pressed
- Fresh, peppery aroma, barely acidic with hints of green herbs, grapefruit and fresh almonds
Classic Blend, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Mix of four olives, aged for three days
- A balanced oil with light floral notes, dried fruits, fresh peppery aftertaste
Black Fruity, or Fruite Noir, Virgin Olive Oil
- Olives aged for seven days before pressing to intensify flavor
- Picholine olive is 50% of blend
- Unique, bold, fruity flavor; slightly acidic, subtle aromas of cocoa, bread, truffle, roasted artichoke
Please note: When shipped with perishable products and ice packs, olive oil may solidify. Simply leave at room temperature and it will return to a liquid state.
Just the facts
- Hand-harvested olives
- Olives are aged for varying lengths of time
- Crushed under granite stones into a paste
- Pressed between stacked disks
- Mechanically cold pressed, no heat or chemicals ever used
- Unfiltered, olive oil sediment settles naturally
- Green olive oil is extracted and filtered
- Virgin or Extra Virgin
- 16 ounce bottle
- Product of France
Our Reserve Jean Reno Olive Oils are exclusively imported from Maussane-les-Alpilles in the heart of the Vallée des Baux-de-Provence.
This region of Southern France has been famous for its olives since the early Roman Empire, and continues to rank as France's top olive oil producer with AOC status.
Award-winning actor Jean Reno has lived there for over 25 years and has become a passionate and expert olive grower, president of an olive oil association, and now a producer of fine olive oils.
Beginning with olives hand harvested in Reno's own orchard, the oils are made by Moulin Jean-Marie Cornille, housed in a 17th century Benedictine Abbey, and renowned for creating olive oils of the highest quality since 1924.
Processed in the traditional way: whole olives are aged and slightly fermented for varying lengths of time before pressing, which intensifies the flavors. This technique has been practiced in the region for centuries.
The whole olives are then crushed under ancient granite millstones, and then mechanically pressed in large scourtins (disks) to extract pure, unfiltered olive oil. In the case of the green oil variety, the juice is extracted and filtered, not pressed.
The olives you will taste in these oils are exclusively grown in the region. They are: Salonenque, Grossane, Béruguette, Verdale des Bouches du Rhône and Picholine.
Provençal olive oils are light with just enough of the bitter trace of olive. They are not as robust as some Italian olive oils, so are perfect for salads, serving with honey, cheese or fruit. These oils are often used as finishing oils, so the true beauty and complexity of the flavor can be experienced.
Drizzle olive oil over pizza fresh out of the oven, toss with pasta, mashed potatoes, beans, fish or meats. They make wonderful salad dressings. Vinaigrette will never be the same.

Mt. Pinatubo 10th Anniversary Perspective (Stills)
This recent false color Landsat-7 image, from January 2001, shows Mt. Pinatubo as it stands today. The caldera is seen in the middle of the image, underneath clouds. Ten years after the blast, vegetation is re-growing on the slopes of the mountain (in green.) Streams of mud, called lahars, (resulting from ash from the eruption mixing with water- seen as the lighter sediment) continue to flow down the sides of the mountains, as well as channels of water (darker streams). However, as vegetation gr
Stealth Learning: Acquiring Knowledge About Vascular Plant Structure While Using a Vegetative Key
Many students find it tedious to learn the terminology that is used to describe the vegetative structure of vascular plants. An effective method is to acquire these skills "accidentally", in the process of identifying unfamiliar plants. This exercise uses a vegetative key to woody plants within walking distance of the lab. Before the lab, plants are labeled with alphabetic tags. Students are given a brief introduction, and then they attempt to identify each labeled plant using the key. If their

People around you are a big influence on how you spend your money too. You get a million dollars, everyone is gonna want your help. Some people are so nice that they just don't know how to stand up for themselves and say, okay enough is enough, let me enjoy my money peacefully. Instead they just help everyone, give everybody some money, to show how good they are. Then all of a sudden they have nothing left. Just help your parents and that's it, they gave you life, you don't owe any one else anything.

The Wenonah II is a modern replica of 1866 steam ship. (rebuild 2002). In port in Gravenhurst, and is operated by Muskoka Steamships, which also operates the RMS Segwun.
Most of the boat is wood, the upper part, but I am not sure if all. There is an elevator on board!!!
The storm clouds in the backgound did not bring any rain. It was raining somewere else.
more then 12,500 views on G.E. but removed in March 2012
Thank you for your comment. Great shot, this looks the same kind of wooden boat that I'd worked on that was built in 1911 but mine was a tugboat, Is it wooden? I like it.
Most of it is wooden,the upper part, but I am not sure if all. This one was rebuild (2002), so they may have taken some shortcuts + there is an elevator on board!!!

4 people hurt in Erie blast while cooking on backyard fire
Four people were injured in an explosion in the backyard of an east Erie home Monday night.
Erie Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Carroll said four adults were taken to a hospital with injuries received when a bottle or can exploded in a campfire.
Carroll said the people were cooking on a backyard campfire in the 600 block of East Ninth Street shortly before 10 p.m. when the blast occurred.
Carroll did not characterize the people's injuries. They were apparently hit by pieces of whatever exploded.
Neighbors said three people walked to ambulances.

I have cast on 33 sts and followed my pattern well until this point....i end up with not enough stitches. What am I doing wrong?Pattern reads as this: K2tog, *k2tog twice, (yo, k1)5 times, yo, ssk twice, sl 1-k2tog-psso; rep from *, end k2tog.
I am reading this as K2tog three times, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo k1, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, ssk, ssk ( or is it yo ssk, yo ssk?) sl1-k2tog-psso (does that mean you pass the slipped stitch over the two stitches you knit together?) and then I repeat the k2tog, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, ssk twice, sl1-k2tog-psso and then at the end k2tog...which I do NOT have because there aren't enough stitches. Please help clarify this pattern for me!
That's the way I would read it too (and yes, it's only ssk twice and also yea, psso the k2tog). Are you doing the yo correctly? It doesn't use a stitch, it's a yarn over needle between sts. Can you give us the stitch count before the row and does the pattern give the stitch count after the row? The sts between the asterisks remain the same (the increases and decreases are equal) but the k2togs at the ends will decrease sts.
The pattern doesn't give number of stitches in the next row, just purl.Row after this is knit, then back to same pattern I gave you. 33 sts is the start of the first row again, to repeat the pattern.
Maybe the first row is wrong?k1, *(yo, k1)twice, yo, ssk twice, sl 2sts knitwise-k1-psso, k2tog twice, (yo, k1) 3 time; rep from * to end.
Row 2 Purlrow 3 knit. Repeat this pattern rows 1-4 three times, so I would say that 33 sts is the same number throughout.
Row one looks ok but that's a good idea to check that row. The repeats in row one and two are 16sts but the problem is in the total for row 4 (the row you initially quoted). The k2tog at each end requires 2sts each and with 16 x 2 sts in the repeats and 4 more for the k2tog that's 36sts. I'm sorry, I missed it the first time around. I wonder if one end of row 4 should be k1 with just the repeat ending the other end instead of k2tog? I can give it a try tonight at home.
Nope, it's not making sense to me, even on the needles. Can you give us a pattern link or a pattern name for this stitch sequence?
The pattern is in a book....Vogue Knitting Stitchionary, volume one knit and purl. Page 74, pattern 108 Ostrich feather lace. It is so frustrating to try this and have a problem. I looked up corrections for this book and this is not in it.
I'll see if I can find the book at our library. maybe lookiing at the picture will help. Can you post a picture from the book? It's definitely a variation on feather and fan.
http://knittingforbeginners.webgifts.info/ostrich-feather-lace/ Is that it?I also found something else with the same name and a chart that I'm not deciphering. http://twiceshearedsheep.wordpress.com/free-patterns/ostrich-feather-lace-kerchief/http://twiceshearedsheep.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/ostrich-lace-kerchief.pdfthe second link is the chart.HTH
It looks like the problem is in this second lace pattern row. You're right, it requires too many sts (3 more than you have).
K2tog, *k2tog twice, (yo, k1)5 times, yo, ssk twice, sl 1-k2tog-psso; rep from *, end k2tog
If you drop off the k2tog at each end, start the row with the repeat and end with a k1, it works
*k2tog twice, (yo, k1)5 times, yo, ssk twice, sl 1-k2tog-psso; rep from *, end k1
Thanks for your help.

With diverse ecosystems, a vibrant history, and an iconic bridge, Deception Pass State Park is an ideal place to explore, recreate, relax and learn. Beaches, sand dunes and tide pools flank old growth forests, freshwater lakes, and rocky balds. Deception Pass still bears the impression of the native peoples that once called this area home, and many of the park's structures were built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Yet despite everything that the park has to offer and a visitation rate that puts it on par with many National Parks, Deception Pass is subject to increasingly uncertain state funding, which seems to come and go like the tides.
That's where we come in. The Deception Pass Park Foundation was formed in 2005 by a group of park neighbors. Our mission is to provide support for education and resource protection at Deception Pass. With the help of our members and community supporters, we've already accomplished a lot. But there's always more to do. So join us, and help us preserve Deception Pass and ensure that park visitors will continue to enjoy its natural and historic wonders.
A New Trail to be Hiked
Discover the natural history of South Fidalgo Island on this beautiful forested trail that connects Deception Pass State Park to the Anacortes Community Forest Lands. This trail provides an important connection for both local hikers and long-distance travelers on the Pacific Northwest Trail. The Tursi Trail was built in winter and spring of 2016 with the help of many volunteers and traverses past meadows and rocky balds, a red rock quarry, a miner's shack, the "rock" of artist Morris Graves' lore, and view of Pass Lake, Campbell Lake and Mount Erie.

Color Phobia? It's Over.
Does color phobia have a serious impact on your life? It may not seem possible, but after more than a decade working with the most severe fears and phobias we have never met a case of color phobia that could not be overcome.
If you are now ready to have this over and done with, here's what you can expect from us:
- Color phobia significantly improved, maybe even gone within a day
- Privacy and complete discretion
- Clients in 70+ countries have put their trust in CTRN
The Next Step
We've developed two programs based on how much help you need. You can choose to experience the Home Study program (going at your own pace on your own time), or choose to work one-on-one with a highly-qualified practitioner:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
Boxed CD's and Workbook are $147. Save $10 by just Downloading
• Get Underway Instantly & Download Now
• Work Privately on Your Own Time
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Customized Program with your own very Experienced Practitioner
• Private Sessions with Board-Certified Specialist
• Advanced Techniques to Eliminate Underlying Fear
How the Program Works: Getting Over Color Phobia
You've got to 're-wire' your unconscious mind – and with our help its easier than you may think. You know that Color Phobia isn't working for you. The reason the fear continues is because the subconscious has connected it to a wave of dominant negative feelings which occur automatically when you even think of colors.
Getting rid of those automatic feelings isn't hard – you just need the right techniques for changing your reaction to your personal set of colors-related triggers. We're here to teach the techniques to you. Isn't it time you took control?
- A Board-Certified Practitioner is ready to speak with you. Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
It's Time to Vanquish Your Color Phobia: Treatment & Cure
Here's the thing, our system does not treat or cure your fear. The key to this program is knowing that you are the one who will be making the changes. We are here purely to teach, and to hold your hand as you walk through the procedure that enables you to make it happen.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. Time to say enough is enough. You can decide that it's time for the negative feelings to change.
Color Phobia Risk Factors and Triggers
The root cause of Color Phobia is often (but not always) traumatic incident in the past. The mind will, in some situations, generate the fear without an apparent cause. You resolve this issue by discovering the source and trading the negative correlations with positive ones. Persons that find themselves at greatest risk:
• Individuals who possess tendencies of apprehension
• Ones who are characterized as 'high-strung'
• One who is dealing with adrenal insufficiency
Any of those portray you? Click here to see what individuals like you are saying about our capability to make a difference.
Or, if you prefer, read about us in the media.
Diagnosing Your Phobia
Uncover the seriousness of the issue for you by using our 2 minute Test Online for Color Phobia …however it's pretty obvious: If this phobia is having a significant negative impact on your life, its time to do something about it.
- Do you become queasy at the smallest idea of Colors?
- Do your palms get clammy and your mouth feel like cotton?
- Does your heart begin to race?
- Do your legs go weak?
Those are just a few of the symptoms. Read more on the symptoms of color phobia.
We help you with the symptoms, as well as find out the basis for them. Our goal is to have you get rid of the root cause of the fear.
Drugs and Prescriptions
The use of drugs and medication for Color Phobia is not encouraged in our program because they generally mask the problem, rather than tackling the cause. The root cause of being Chromatophobic is an unconscious mental association that links colors to powerful feelings of fear. Meds can mask the awful feelings for a while, but never break the mental patterns at the core of the problem
There is no drug specifically for Color Phobia – When looking for an answer, maybe you should think about possible side effects before turning to prescription drugs.
The good news is with CTRN you will overcome Color Phobia, without prescription pills..

Sanctuary full of quilts
Quilt campaign: For many years, the American Lutheran Church World Release Quilt-Tying Group has met twice monthly to create quilts that are sent to people in need around the world. This year, the group put together 150 quilts and arranged them in the sanctuary. The quilts were blessed during services Sunday and will be boxed and shipped to a distribution point in Minnesota this week. Church youths, who are seniors, get to pick out a quilt of their choice before they're sent, according to Diane Harm (pictured) who coordinates the quilt project. Lutheran women will also send 50 layettes they made and or/donated. Health kits will also be included in the boxes.

LEVELLAND - A pair of Memphis doubles teams qualified for the state tournament Tuesday after winning their respective divisions during the Region I-1A Tennis Tournament at South Plains College.
Roman Maldonado and Curt Phillips stormed through the boys' doubles draw, taking a 6-0, 6-0 victory against Anton's Ruben Gutierrez and Casey Harris in the final. Nicole Johnson and Sophia Rodriguez made it two-for-two against Anton teams in the girls' final, earning a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (2) victory against Whitney Harris and Heather Chenault.
The top two finishers in each division qualify for the state tournament.
Maldonado and Phillips, who took a pair of easy victories Monday, continued their strong play in the semifinals by taking a 7-6, 7-5 decision against Lance Martin and Andy Messamore of Sudan. After winning their third-place match, Martin and Messamore rallied for a 7-5, 6-7, 6-2 victory against Gutierrez and Harris - the same team they lost to in the District 6-1A tournament - in a playback.
Johnson and Rodriguez had little trouble in the semifinals, taking a 6-2, 6-1 victory against Dell City's Kelli Stahl and Crystal Mendoza before eking out a win in the championship match.
A pair of area singles players also earned spots in the state tournament after runner-up finishes Tuesday.
Nazareth's Shawna Gerber, the District 4-1A champion, advanced to the girls' singles final before dropping a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 heartbreaker to Whitefaces' Lindsey Brown - the defending regional champion.
Irion County's John Paul Dennison also needed three sets to knock off Lefors' John Dauselt, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, in the boys' final.
Region I-4A SAN ANGELO - Pampa's Emily Curtis and Emily Waters struggled in their attempt to win a 4A state tournament berth, finishing third in the girls' doubles draw of the Region I-4A Tennis Tournament at Bentwood Country Club.
Curtis and Waters, who took a pair of straight-set victories Monday, ran into trouble early against Nancy Chandler and Camille Campbell of Wichita Falls Rider in a 6-1, 7-5 loss.
But after rallying to a straight-set victory in the third-place match, Curtis and Waters' chances remained alive after Chandler and Campbell took the championship. Still, Curtis and Waters were unable to overcome Wichita Falls' Sarah and Danielle Bolin, who took the second berth at the state tournament with a 6-4, 6-2 victory.
Also earning regional championships were Andrew Ulrich of Wichita Falls, Toni Doerre of Burkburnett and the doubles team of Kenneth Hines and J.D. McCain, also of Wichita Falls.
Region I-3A Perryton and Friona will be well represented when the Region I-3A Tennis Tournament begins today at Odessa College.
The Rangers, who stormed through the District 1-3A tournament three weeks ago, qualified seven entries for the regional tournament - including a pair of players in each singles division. Melanie Symons and Lindsey Wilkens will both be in the girls' singles draw, while Justin Joyner and Josh Castor give Perryton a pair of contenders in boys' singles.
Perryton also qualified three doubles teams - two in girls' and one in boys' - with Dimmitt also featuring a representative in boys' doubles.
Like the Rangers, Friona also will have a deep team at the regional with four entries. Zubin Bhakta swept through the boys' singles draw at the District 2-3A tournament and should be one of the top players at the regional. Kahlie Ingram and Amber Wyly are also surging after taking the 2-3A girls' doubles title.
Joining those three from Friona are Jessica Perez in girls' singles and the boys' doubles team of Matt White and Micah White.
Muleshoe also has a pair of entries with Chris Vaughn and Eric Posadas in doubles and Jeff Burns in singles.
The first two rounds begin at 8 a.m. today, with the semifinals and finals set for Thursday.
Region I-2A Wellington's Justin Hunter and Alicia Ward will both be gunning for regional singles championships when the Region I-2A Tennis Tournament begins today at Angelo State University.
The Skyrockets, who took three of four championships at the District 6-2A tournament, will have three singles players and two doubles teams in the regional event. Joining Hunter and Ward are the boys' doubles pair of Chris Souder and Ryan Roberson, Erin Lemons in girls' singles and the girls' doubles duo of Nikki and McKenna Sims.
Also earning a spot in the field were Clarendon's Greg Wooten in boys' singles, White Deer's Suni Jo and Cassie Petty in girls' doubles and the Clarendon duo of Josh Williams and Carey Thornberry in boys' doubles.

A Guide to 'The Instagram Look'
I'll preface this by saying that I am in no way bashing the Instagram community, other photographers, or their style. I got to be curious about why these Instagram portrait photographers were gaining such popularity. If you search any of the various Instagram "superhubs," you'll see this style crowding the pages. Once deconstructed, there isn't much to the look that has exploded across social media in the last year. Though there isn't much to it, there is certainly some work involved. It's not always as simple as a few sliders in the Instagram editor.

Quality product, easy to install and holds bike securely.

Very easy to install, very solid installation. Be sure to take care on bumpy roads and sharp corners, as it seems like the front installation bracket tends to rock around quite a bit (audible noise even over the radio), especially if you have a heavier bike. Probably due to the design of a heavy duty rubber strap holding onto the front crossbar.

I bought two of these bike racks for "about" the price of one Thule brand rack, so if you're looking to carry your bike on a budget, look no further. The racks fit perfectly to my factory Subaru cross bars and I had both racks keyed the same upon request (I highly recommend it). They're light, sleek, and have no problem holding the bike at highway speeds! Fast shipping and great customer service.

Cartell is an Irish vehicle checking company which commenced trading in 2006. It operates an online service to allow prospective vehicle purchasers to verify the history of a vehicle before purchasing. The checks available include details of finance problems, insurance write-offs, ownership history and whether a vehicle was formerly used as a taxi.
Cartell operates an online check system for both private and trade buyers. A free check will show the manufacturer and model of the vehicle when a Vehicle Registration Number is entered. Paid checks allow further information to be obtained for varying fees. Information available includes:[1]
- Checks to identify vehicles written off by an insurance company using the Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud and Theft Register Ireland, an initiative begun by Cartell based on its experience with the UK equivalent[2]
- Checks with lenders to identify outstanding finance issues involving the vehicle
- Mileage checks against the National Mileage Register, a database of Irish-registered vehicles established by Cartell[3]
- Verification of Vehicle Identification Number and registration papers
- Number of previous owners and whether the previous registration was as a private or commercial vehicle
- Vehicle details, including body shape, number of doors, engine number and engine capacity
The firm has an agreement with HPI UK, a similar company based in the United Kingdom, to allow finance, ownership and insurance checks to be carried out on vehicles imported into Ireland from the UK. It also has access to the UK National Mileage Register.
Since 2002 the firm has been attempting to gain access to the Garda Síochána's vehicle theft records, to allow them to check if a vehicle has been previously reported as stolen.
In 2008 Cartell passed information to the Road Safety Authority about the issue of written-off cars from the UK being imported, repaired and registered for use in Ireland.[4] The subsequent Irish Times article provoked an investigation by the Garda Siochána, Vehicle Registration Unit, Road Safety Authority and Revenue Commissioners. This resulted in a change to legislation requiring that from September 2010 all imported vehicles must be taken to a National Car Test Centre for inspection before being registered in Ireland.[5]
In 2010 the firm's legal branch drafted a legislative proposal proposing outlawing the clocking of vehicle odometers, which was not illegal in Ireland at the time. The principal drafter of the Bill was barrister John P Byrne. It was presented to the Oireachtas by Cartell director Jeff Aherne[6] and recommended by Tommy Broughan TD, who at the time was the Labour Party transport spokesman,[7] but did not progress into law.[8]
Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2012[edit]
Following the failure of their suggested vehicle clocking legislation in 2010 Cartell continued to press the bill, and in December 2012 it was presented again[9] by Anthony Lawlor TD as the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2012.[10] On 17 December the bill passed the first stage in the approval process. Meanwhile, Lawlor continued to press the government on the issue and managed to bring it to the attention of transport minister Leo Varadkar. As a result, on 15 January 2014 the content of Lawlor's bill was inserted as an amendment in the Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill 2013, creating a new criminal offence of interfering with the odometer of a mechanically propelled vehicle.[11] The maximum penalty for the offence is a Class C fine (up to €2,500) or up to three months imprisonment. With this amendment in place Lawlor noted that Cartell had been responsible for bringing the issue to his attention, then withdrew his private member's bill. The bill had its second reading on 21 January 2014 and on 25 February was enacted as the Road Traffic Act 2014. The new offence became law as Section 14 of the Act.[12]
2013 Request for Release of Stolen Vehicle Information[edit]
On 17 July 2013 Cartell again called on the Garda to release details of stolen cars.[13] Ireland is currently the only nation in the European Union where the police do not make details of stolen cars available to car check agencies or directly to the public.[14] In all other EU member states this information is uploaded to Interpol, which allows instant checks to be made on any suspect vehicle. Currently any search done on an Irish-registered vehicle will not reveal if the vehicle has been reported stolen.[15] Around 10,000 cars are stolen every year in Ireland and about 2,000 of these are never recovered.[16] Currently buyers of used cars have no way to check against theft records, and hundreds of buyers a year lose an average of from €10,000 to €20,000 after buying stolen cars which are then discovered and returned to their original owner.[17] The Garda claim that they cannot pass on the information because of data protection issues.
Sporting Sponsorship[edit]
In 2010 Cartell became official sponsor for the Rally of the Lakes, agreeing to sponsor the event until at least 2013.[18][19] In March 2014 Cartell's sponsorship of the event was extended for a further three years.
