The 2016 Ladbrokes Caulfield Stakes Form Guide looks to be very straight forward with the all-conquering Winx only having to take on two opponents in the form of the Darren Weir trained Black Heart Bart and He Or She from Lindsay Park.
Black Heart Bart will be trying to end Winx's winning run which will be twelve on the trot if she wins the Ladbrokes Caulfield Stakes.
The Group 1 Ladbrokes Caulfield Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday is worth $600,000 and is run under weight for age conditions over the distance of 2000m.
- 1. Black Heart Bart
Melbourne's premiership winning trainer Darren Weir is happy to take on the super mare Winx with his multiple Group 1 winning Black Heart Bart to get a good guide of his chances when they clash again in the Group 1 $3m Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on October 22. Black Heart Bart is the winner of three Group 1 races with his first win at the elite level in the $500,000 Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville on May 21. Black Heart Bart claimed his second Group 1 trophy with a first up victory in the $500,000 Memsie Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on August 27 and was in the Group 1 winner's stall last start taking out the $500,000 Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield on September 24. Sandwiched in between those two Group 1 wins was a second to stablemate Palentino in the Group 1 $500,000 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on September 10.
- 2. He Or She
He Or She is yet to win at Group 1 level for the Lindsay Park Team of David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig but has been racing in the best form of his career with Group 1 placings at his last two starts. He Or She made up some ground from the back when third to Palentino in the $500,000 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on September 10 followed by a second to Black Heart Bart in the $500,000 Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield on September 24. A third placing looks on the cards again.
- 3. Winx
Super mare Winx only has two rivals to take care of to chalk up her twelfth win on the trot after being undefeated since winning the Group 3 $125,000 Sunshine Coast Guineas (1600m) at the Sunshine Coast during the 2015 Queensland Winter Carnival. Along the way the Chris Waller trained mare has collected seven Group 1 trophies including the 2015 Group 1 $3m Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley. Winx kicked off her defence of the Cox Plate with two Spring Carnival wins, a first up cake walk in the Group 2 $250,000 Warwick Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on August 20 followed by a win in the Group 1 $500,000 Colgate Optic White Stakes (George Main Stakes) (1600m) at Randwick on September 17.

So I did three triathlons this season and I'm pretty happy with my results in each one.. okay I'm SHOCKED by the results. Julie told me that you have increased endurance or something after having a baby... she must be right! :)
I did the Devil's Challenge Triathlon on Saturday and it was COLD and HILLY!!!!
Betsy picked me up at around 5:30am and we headed up to Baraboo, WI (about an hour north of here). Packet pick up opened at 6:45 and transition closed at 8am. It was a balmy 32ish degrees. DAMN I was NOT counting on that when I registered for this race!
We were freezing before we even got our stuff wracked. As I'm laying my things out I look down and realize that - like a dumbass - I wore my running shoes down (trying to minimize my gear factor) and now I had to take them off and walk around barefoot b/c I didn't bring my flip flops. My start still wasn't for almost an hour. CRRAAP! So there I was wearing sweats and no shoes walking around on frozen ground. My feet were cold and red... I wasn't the only one! We walked over to the start and I put my feet in the water.. uh, it felt tepid on my frozen dogs. So I stood in the water until it was time to put my wet suit on.
This is the FIRST time I got dressed in the head to toe neoprene without breaking a sweat. So here we are all dressed up and ready to go. We went back to the water to put our feet in while we waited for our waves to start. I had only been in the water once since Chicago - three weeks ago. I knew I could do this.. only a quarter mile. I wanted to just take it slow and steady and swim the whole way. I planned to do the whole race this way... really just enjoy the season closer and not kill myself over it. (okay for those of you that know me or have ridden w/ me lately you know that is actually rather difficult for me to do) The swim started and my other friend Gena and I just walked into the water - while others ran - and started off nice and easy. Much to my surprise and delight I was actually passing people - ON THE SWIM! Wow. I think I even passed some people from the wave in front of me. This is when I went into "game on" mode...okay... not so easy I guess. ha ha
T1 took a while b/c I had to dry off to get my arm warmers on and tried to dry my hair a bit since it was so damn cold. Off I went on my bike... I was hitting it hard and on the first hill I was out of the saddle and pushing it as hard as I could (again for those bikers out there you know that this is a good way to hit the wall early even on a short ride) ... I didn't really check the elevation charts on this ride before the race and, uh, it was a hilly one. We're talking 36mph downhills and 8 mph up hills. After the second long hill of climbing out of the saddle (thinking I was a rock star or something) I decided it was time to ride smart... I did have to run after this so I needed to save SOMETHING! The ride was taxing, but it was short and I had a lot of fun. I didn't give it everything I had, but I pushed myself. I spent time encouraging others that were struggling and/or walking their bikes up the long steep hills. I passed a lot of the novice wave people that started in the 2nd and 3rd waves - hard race to pick as your first. I even 'raced' a couple of kids that were spectating (on foot) up the last hill... uh, one beat me!
I finished strong on the bike and T2 went really fast (thanks to my Yanks - thanks Karen P) and off I went. Well, my feet were so frozen that I couldn't even feel them...my face was even frozen so much that it was hard to talk to people. At about mile one I started to get feeling back in my feet and it felt like I had lumps in my shoes. The run was an out and back in the camp ground... I think the campers thought we were all psycho! I had a good time on the run too, but the last 1/2 mile seemed much longer than 1/2 mile.
Running on frozen stumps must work well for me because I broke an 8 min mile for the 5k... that has NEVER happened before. :)
So now let's hope I can maintain some fitness over the winter - improve my swimming - and do even better next year. I'm hooked/in now - Tom keeps bringing nicer and nicer gear home for me to ride.... he says it's b/c he's excited that I'm showing an interest in the sport ... I think he's just trying to make sure my mind stays far, far away from ever wanting more babies. Though according to Julie if I want to get fast I should just have another baby! ha ha

Devil's Challenge Triathlon.. season closer for me.

Shahada Karim
Monika Kozdrowiecka is late. She's running behind schedule for the same reason that thousands of Los Angeles natives do every day: traffic. My phone rang as I sat on the staircase to the Virgin Raw Foods penthouse, minutes after our scheduled meeting time:
"I've just parked. I'll be there in a nanosecond."
And she was. A petite, clear eyed blonde woman appeared a short time later, casually dressed in a button down blouse, jeans and ballet flats. A smile revealed the finest character lines around her eyes and mouth, and she extended a hand.
"Hello! I'm Monika."
The co-founder of Virgin Raw Foods began her journey to conscious health and wellness 14 years ago. She was already used to eating foods grown locally and organically in her home country of Poland. But it was more habit than anything else. Monika and her family lived in the simplest conditions, with no running hot water and an outdoor bathroom, for most of her young adult life. When she decided to take the trip to the United States, her father told her to have fun. But he also sent her with a stern warning: Don't eat the meat.
"I could smell the chemicals in the chicken." She says. "At the time I didn't realize it was hormones and antibiotics and all the stuff they put in meat. But I could smell it."
That awareness of food sourcing, preparation and consumption became the seed from which Virgin Raw foods, and eventually Bee Panacea, was born. Monika had always been aware of the benefits of certain foods. "My Mother would tell me, eat your parsley for Vitamin C, eat your carrots for Vitamin A. We grew everything from the earth. I knew it was good food. I thought everyone ate like we did."
Monika soon realized that things were very different on this side of the Atlantic. Curiosity let her to San Francisco's Bay Area, where she visited several raw food colonies. "I was surprised by how clear everyone's eyes were." Monika says. "These people who didn't cook their food were laughing and dancing and everyone seemed so clear and happy." Her curiosity grew.
In 2008, she became deathly ill. "I don't like to talk about it." But Monika insists that it was bad. So bad in fact, that Western Medicine did nothing to help. "The doctors couldn't do anything. So I decided to help myself."
Monika travelled extensively to Thailand ("I've been back dozens of times"), South America, China, and back to San Francisco to the raw foodists. By the time she decided to start Virgin Raw Foods in 2009 with the help of her sister Gosia, Monika was armed with more than enough knowledge about the power of raw food and homeopathic medicine.
At first, Virgin Raw Foods operated as a sort of depot for natural herbs and remedies. "We didn't make much money." She says.
It was actually Gosia who put together the very first batch of what is now Bee Panacea. Through trial and error ("We used to use Coconut Oil, but it didn't work. So we took it out"), they perfected the formula. They made an initial batch of six jars and took them to a local store. The jars sold. Then they made 12. They sold. And so it goes.
Their big break came when former Spice Girl turned Fashion Designer Victoria Beckham discovered Bee Panacea at a juice bar in Venice. She tried it, fell in love, and tweeted about it. Business soared.
"I wasn't really sure what to do at first." Says Monika. "I didn't know that Twitter could do so much. I was so thankful. I wanted to say thank you but I had no idea how to reach Victoria." But that didn't stop her. "I made up a gift box and took it to the juicer." One stroke of good luck lead to another, and Monika met husband David (Beckham), who took her to Victoria. To this day, Mrs. Beckham swears by Virgin Raw Foods Bee Panacea.
Monika and Gosia run Virgin Raw Foods without any outside help. "We invest completely in the company." She says. "If you saw my little apartment you would think I was a struggling student." She laughs it off. "Everything goes to Virgin Raw Foods. I don't need fancy things to live. I am comfortable and I am grateful." Monika doesn't even pay for gas. Her Tesla Model S runs completely on electricity. "It was a gift." She says. "I would never pay for such an expensive car."
It's apparent that Bee Panacea is Monika's baby. She believes completely in everything about the blend. The formula is sourced with strict organic standards.
("We require certification from all of our suppliers.") The company works with nature to blend the ingredients. That means that no two jars of Bee Panacea are identical. "Honey changes with the seasons so if your Panacea is stiff, it's because of Avocado Honey. If it's loose, it's because of Orange Blossom Honey."
The Honey is key to the blend. Without it, Monika says the formula would not be nearly as effective. "Honey contains glucose (sugar) and fructose (stabilizer). It delivers the Panacea straight to the bloodstream." It also helps to stabilize the blend. "You can keep it for up to 2 years."
Honey is the only thing that changes with the blend. Bee Panacea has been made with the same 20 ingredients since Monika and Gosia perfected the recipe and sent it to market. It continues to come together in small batches in a commercial kitchen in Orange County. Monika is very proud of the operation. "We are inspected by the Orange County Authority regularly." She says. "Our kitchen is so spotless that they tell us we raised the bar!"
Monika's noticeably clear eyes sparkle as she tells the story of how Virgin Raw Foods began. From the first word to the last, she constantly reminds me of how truly grateful, blessed and happy she is to try to make the smallest difference in the health and well being of others. Even as she hugged me goodbye and sent me on my way with a jar of Bee Panacea in tow, I am aware of how much she cares about her contribution and legacy. For Monika, life… and everything in it… is a gift.

Sarasota chase ends with Charlotte arrest
A chase that started in Sarasota County ended in Charlotte County with the arrest of a 34-year-old Venice man Tuesday afternoon.
Jason Robert Gibson, of 1956 San Silvestro Drive, was charged with two counts of Leaving the Scene of a Crash, Failure to Stop as Ordered by a Law Enforcement Officer and Resisting an Officer without Violence.
The events began shortly before noon in the North Port area, when Sarasota deputies were attempting to serve a warrant on Gibson for Violation of Probation for a previous Dealing in Stolen Property charge.
Gibson allegedly fled from the Sarasota deputies down Hillsborough Boulevard into Charlotte County.
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office notified the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office of the pursuit and asked for help. Deputies were told to be on the lookout for a gold 2006 Toyota Tundra pickup truck.
During the pursuit, Gibson hit a Centurylink telephone box at the corner of Atwater Street and Hillsborough Boulevard and left the scene without stopping. When he was approaching the corner of Tappan Zee Drive and Veronica Street, Gibson again lost control of his truck, went through the ditch and into some trees.
The airbag on the Tundra deployed when the truck hit a tree and finally came to a stop.
Gibson got out of the truck and ran from that crash. Deputies from both Charlotte County and Sarasota County began setting up a perimeter to contain Gibson, while Charlotte County K9 deputies were being called.
Before the dogs could arrive, a resident pointed to the area of Peppertree Estates off Quesada Avenue, where he had seen Gibson jump the gate.
Charlotte County deputies found Gibson in a pond in the development and took him into custody.
He was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated and released. He was then taken to the Charlotte County Jail and held on a $4,500 bond.

If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, or sleep difficulties, our blanket can help. Many people tell us that they go to sleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up more refreshed.
The Medium Blanket is sized between the Small Blanket and the Couch Blanket.
"Experience the most amazing, indulgent, comforting, encapsulating luxury you can imagine! When you crawl under this blanket, you will feel relieved from the stresses of the day." -- Cathy in FL
Our SmartWeight™ technology uses Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation (DTPS), which provides:
We do weight differently than the rest. Because of this, we can use less weight and accomplish more than the "% of bodyweight" method. We believe the key to weighted products is not the total weight of the product, but how much of the weight maintains contact with your body. We call this The Science Behind the Comfort™.
Our weighting system consists of 4 different fill weights: #1, #2, #3 and #4. Our weight does not shift or slide due to gravity, which gives you the most benefit as more touch points maintain contact with your body.
CapeAble #2 Medium Blanket is the "sweet spot" for almost everyone. Most people with sensory needs will be well-served with this fill. It's also the best choice for those who need help with anxiety or sleep issues. This is the weight that we recommend for almost every person.
CapeAble #3 Medium Blanket is for the person who has a greater need and craves additional weight for significant input.
CapeAble #1 Medium Blanket is for the very young or elderly who need a lighter weight.
Medium Blanket #1 Weight: 6.5-7 lbs Medium Blanket #2 Weight: 8.5-9 lbs Medium Blanket #3 Weight: 12-12.5 lbs

It's hard to be fair when you're frustrated.
The Orioles are in one of those free falls that take us all back to the bad old days when no one expected anything else. They have collapsed with such a loud thud that the only thing left to do is round up the usual suspects and apportion the blame.
Or not.
Obviously, there are reasons why this year's Orioles team bears no resemblance to the one that ran away from the rest of the American League East last year, swept the Detroit Tigers in the AL Division Series and ended just one step away from the World Series.
Those reasons have already been enumerated. The club failed to build on last year's success and instead...

Area officials now have a better idea just what was dumped in a former salt landfill near the Mentor Marsh State Nature Preserve and how much surrounding property was impacted.
Soil and water sampling conducted in October revealed no public health risk, but a risk nonetheless, according to an environmental assessment report by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
The report is based on dozens of soil borings at and around the landfill property northwest of Lake Shore Boulevard and Route 44, as part of a targeted brownfield assessment.
The investigation shows that the landfill boundaries extend into residential properties located on the east side of Deer Ridge Road.
"We always knew there were large quantities of salt, lime kiln dust and fly ash buried at the site," Ohio EPA spokesman Mike Settles said. "We did not know if there were other materials, such as hazardous wastes, buried there. The assessment did not find evidence of hazardous waste, so that's good news. Results showed some elevated levels of metals, but nothing that would pose a human health issue for the community. Therefore, our concern remains with the salt leaching into Mentor Marsh and the adverse impact it is having on the ecological condition of the marsh."
The data gathered will aid in developing a remediation plan for the property and in any legal proceedings between the Ohio Attorney General's Office and the landfill property's owners, Lakeshore Blvd. Properties, Ltd., Jerome T. Osborne, et al., and Richard M. Osborne, trustee.
Records indicate that from April through September 1966, the Osborne Concrete and Stone Co. disposed about 265,000 tons of salt mining wastes on the property, according to the EPA. Years later, the company covered the waste with lime kiln dust and clay, and relocated Blackbrook Creek to the eastern side of the property. These containment efforts failed to prevent landfill liquids from leaving the property and impacting water quality in the creek and the Mentor Marsh, the EPA says. Past sampling of landfill liquids discharging from the site showed that they exceed Ohio's water quality standards for total dissolved solids.
"While we still need some more information on the thickness of the salt deposit -- our original soil borings were not able to penetrate through the compacted salt -- the next major task will most likely be a feasibility study to determine the best way to (clean up) the property," Settles said. "That probably won't happen until we reach a legal resolution with the property owner. This is what the AG's office is handling. The recently completed assessment report will provide valuable information for the AG's office as it moves forward in its proceedings with the Osbornes."
Richard M. Osborne Sr., son of Jerome T. Osborne, referred comment to his father's attorney, Dave Richards. An attempt to reach Richards for comment was unsuccessful.
Lake County General Health District officials are concerned about the ecological impacts to the marsh and Blackbrook Creek, such as the spread of saltwater mosquitoes and the fire-prone phragmites.
"We now have a much clearer picture of the extent of it and its boundaries as well as the impacts to the groundwater," said Laura Kramer Kuns, supervisor of the health district's solid/liquid waste and water supply program.
Mentor City Manager Ken Filipiak met with Attorney General Mike DeWine this week on the matter.
"I'm optimistic about a long-term restoration project out there," Filipiak said. "We're getting some traction now."
The targeted brownfield assessment was paid for through a grant from U.S. EPA. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Buffalo District is seeking funding for a feasibility study on restoring the marsh. The feasibility phase is necessary to be considered for $5 million in federal funding for construction of an Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration project.

We tried being nice. We tried nagging and pleading, cajoling and shaming. We left voice messages and emails. In return, we were stonewalled, misled and ignored for 16 months—until our attorney paid a cordial visit to the State Capitol building—to get just six months' worth of Gov. Pat McCrory's travel records. Even then, parts of the documents were redacted without explanation. (What was so interesting in Tampa, governor?) And when we repeatedly asked for clarification ... crickets.
It turns out the INDY was not alone in asking the McCrory administration and various state agencies for public documents, only for those requests to be sucked into a black hole—of incompetence, inattention or obfuscation, we don't know.
What we do know is that now a coalition of six media outlets and two nonprofits has sued McCrory and the heads of eight state agencies, alleging they, as custodians of state documents, have violated North Carolina's Public Records Act.
The administration's actions, the lawsuit alleges, "are the consequence of concerted policies and practices adopted and followed by the defendants for the purposes of avoiding or circumventing the public records law and discouraging or intimidating public records requestors."
This is not a minor matter. The Public Records Act is a fundamental tenet of democracy. It is a compact between the public and the government to ensure transparency and accountability in the highest reaches of power. Government records—with a few exceptions, such as those related to keeping your tax records confidential—are the property of not just of the media, but also of the people. Your tax dollars fund the government, and in return, you have a legal right to know the government is doing with those dollars.
Yes, a legal right: The Public Records Act is not just a good idea; it's the law. And McCrory is attacking the media for asking his administration to comply with it.
Shortly after the coalition's attorneys filed the lawsuit in Wake County Superior Court last week, McCrory spokesman Rick Martinez, who, before joining the governor's public relations cabal, hosted a conservative radio program on WPTF, issued a statement calling the suit the work of "the liberal media" and advocacy groups.
Oh, that old trope. If we had a dime for every time the media has been called liberal, we could afford the $700 the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources wants to charge us for our most recent records request. And the Alamance News is liberal? Hardly. Pravda it's not.
McCrory's retort contained another troubling double entendre. He contended that his administration is a "champion of transparency and fair and legitimate news gathering."
What is fair and legitimate news gathering to McCrory? Warm and fuzzy stories about his rescue dog? Yes, governor, you have a lot of power, but it doesn't include defining what news qualifies as "fair" and "legitimate."
His reaction is merely red meat for the right-wing base, as the McCrory administration tries to discredit the media as diabolical squanderers of tax money: "Now this lawsuit will require us to hire more lawyers at taxpayers' expense to respond to this baseless and ridiculous lawsuit," the statement read.
(About those tax dollars, governor: We'd still like to know if you, presumably on the public dime, flew to Tampa to ride the Falcon's Fury at Busch Gardens or to take in a Rays' game—or something else.)
Besides, state government doesn't have to hire more lawyers; it has a lawyer, Attorney General Roy Cooper. And before the state uses the media lawsuit to justify a "budgetary crisis," remember that at this very moment in Winston-Salem, a private attorney, Republican Thomas Farr, is in federal court defending North Carolina's discriminatory voting laws.
Why isn't Cooper in Winston-Salem to plead the state's case for disenfranchising black people? Because, dissatisfied with Cooper's legal representation on matters such as same-sex marriage and voting rights, GOP legislators passed a law in 2013 allowing the General Assembly leadership to hire outside counsel using taxpayer money.
How much? Well, you'll have to file an open records request to find out.
From a purely fiscal standpoint, if these requests are really so onerous, as McCrory implies, hiring more staff to fill them is likely cheaper in the long run than paying defense attorneys. That's simple budgeting. Geez-us, we miss Art Pope.
The same afternoon that the media lawsuit was filed, Ricky Diaz of the N.C. GOP sent a press release reminding the Fourth Estate that Roy Cooper himself has been delinquent in filling the party's records requests. In March (only four months ago—hell, we've waited that long for McCrory's press office to call us back) the Republican Party asked Cooper for 14 years' worth of documents. Meanwhile, in his statement, McCrory called the media's requests "overbroad."
While in state government, Diaz himself had a reputation as an obfuscator. He was an $85,000-a-year, 24-year-old press aide to McCrory before being moved to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services as press secretary under Aldona Wos, a defendant in the lawsuit. In 2014, Diaz resigned.
At the time, ABC11 (the station is not part of the suit) quoted Chris Fitzsimon of N.C. Policy Watch, one of our co-plaintiffs, as saying DHHS has been "far less than forthcoming with public records, public information and access." Investigative reporter Sarah Ovaska was quoted as saying, "I've never had a phone call returned ever by [Diaz]."
In May, McCrory, although he personally opposes same-sex marriage, explained his veto of the magistrate marriage-exemption bill: "We are a nation and a state of laws."
That is true, governor. Now the INDY has a very simple request of you and every state agency: Follow the law.

SC Gov. Nikki Haley said today she is not surprised her predecessor and onetime mentor, Mark Sanford, announced that he will run for the congressional seat along the Lowcountry coast.
"He is someone that is very involved in policy and has always loved policy," she told reporters while previewing her annual State of the State address. "This is going back home to him, which would be his old congressional seat."
Haley, then a Lexington County state representative, received Sanford's support during her run to succeed him in 2010. The governor also named Sanford's ex-wife, Jenny, among the five finalists last month to be appointed for U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint's seat after he resigned to head the Heritage Foundation think tank.
Haley appointed U.S. Rep. Tim Scott, which opened the congressional seat Mark Sanford is seeking. Sanford served in Congress from 1995-2001 before becoming governor for eight years.

What is the Canon EOS 1300D?
Canon's latest entry-level model DSLR represents excellent value, and provides many photographers with the opportunity to get on the first rung of the DSLR ladder.
It features an APS-C-sized sensor and some other interesting features, but nothing too revolutionary. In terms of an upgrade from the 1200D, it's relatively minor: there's a bump in screen resolution, a slightly better processor and the addition of Wi-Fi and NFC.
As well as appealing to first-time DSLR owners as a result of its low price, it's also an attractive proposition for owners of the more advanced models in Canon's lineup as a back-up or travel camera.

Canon EOS 1300D – Design and Handling
If you've used or seen a 1200D, then you'll be familiar with the 1300D's build and layout – Canon hasn't strayed too far from the blueprint here.
As befits an entry-level camera, it's on the relatively small side for a DSLR, but it's chunky enough to be satisfying for those upgrading from a compact camera. The grip is slightly contoured, as well being textured, which helps it to sit nicely in your hand.
Atop the camera sits a mode dial, which means you can switch between different exposure modes quickly. As well as manual and semi-automatic options (such as aperture priority), there's also a range of scene and automatic modes too, which is great if you're just starting to get to grips with DSLR photography.
There are quite a few buttons on the rear of the camera, but they're grouped in one place to make changing settings easy. There are direct keys for some settings – such as ISO, AF type, white balance and exposure compensation – and a Q button to gain access to some of the other commonly used settings, such as metering.
A scrolling dial can be found close to the shutter-release button, which you use to set the aperture (when shooting in aperture priority mode), or the shutter speed (when shooting in shutter priority mode). If in manual mode, you'll use the dial to control both, holding down the exposure compensation button to switch between the two.
The 1300D includes an optical viewfinder. It offers a reasonably bright and clear view, but it shows only 95% of the scene. That's pretty normal for entry-level DSLRs, but it means you need to be careful during composition that something doesn't creep in to the edge of the frame that you don't notice. This is one place where electronic viewfinders definitely have an advantage over their optical cousins.
Wi-Fi and NFC is the big upgrade for this camera when comparing it to the 1200D. In order to use it, download the Canon Camera Connect App, which is available free on the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android). The connection process is quick and easy, and once you've connected your device to the camera you can use it to take remote control of the camera, or to download photos from the camera for uploading to social media.

Canon EOS 1300D – Screen
The screen is a fixed, 3-inch, 920k-dot panel – an upgrade from the 460k-dot screen of the 1200D. This means images viewed in playback are more crisp and sharp, while menus and icons also look better, too. It would be nice if the screen tilted or articulated, but since this camera is available at a bargain-basement price, it's not all that surprising.
As well as the viewfinder, you can compose using Live View on the LCD screen. This is activated via a button just next to the viewfinder. It's useful for shooting macro and still-life subjects, as you can check focus precisely. However, since focus is slower when using it, it isn't something I'd recommend for all subjects.

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
Like Lesley, I've been doing a lot of fitnessing lately. Also, I've been overthinking it because that is one of my most enduring hobbies.
(Lesley and I even recorded a Fatcast to discuss fitnessing at some length, among other topics.)
Mostly, it's totally awesome. The dog is exhausted (a tired dog is a good dog) -- and so is Ed. I've even joined a Tuesday evening group that runs and walks on a local trail after work.
I don't work close to home, so I have come to work prepared for the hour I'm going to spend sweating in the late summer sun. Generally, I pack a bag full of workout gear and then change in the bathroom at work once it hits time to go. This is a pretty typical strategy -- if you've ever fitnessed after work, I bet it sounds familiar.
Here's the thing: I really hate taking off my pants at work. Metaphorically speaking. Well, also literally speaking because the situation does involve removing actual factual pants.
There's just something awkward about it, though I'd probably take changing my pants over changing my bra (these Enell sports bras are continuing to be everything). Do you really want to be topless in a stall with coworkers milling about?
Let's please preserve SOME work/life separation, y'all.
So what's a dedicated fitnesser to do? Obviously the solution is to incorporate workout gear into my office casual wardrobe.
My first effort was, I feel, a little too Flashdance. If such a thing could even be said to exist! I mean, is there ever REALLY too much Flashdance for any given party?
Just in case your answer is yes, let me tell you WHY this is a little too Flashdance so that you can avoid it in an office setting. First and foremost, there is the grey color of the top. It isn't actually a sweatshirt but this light grey, as much as I love it, is really similar to the heathered shade that is so classic in gym class. There's also the layering, which evokes that gym class feeling all over again. It's loose and comfy -- but there's no structure to it.
What does it have going for it? Those black leggings are actually my workout leggings and I'm wearing my sports bra instead of a regular bra. That means changing to meet the other folks at the trail really just means trading my Dr. Martens for running shoes and my dress/top combo for a tank top.
If Flashdance is your jam, let me suggest you recreate this in fluid jersey fabrics for maximum comfort.
I've used this photo before -- betcha had no idea this was stealth workout wear.
Where the first outfit was too fussy to be good (the layers weren't working in my favor) for a quick change, it was presto chango to get ready for my walk when I wore this. Leggings plus dress is a totally bog standard combination in fashion, so it's not like this is taking any risks, stylistically speaking. Also, how many Tuesdays in a row can I incorporate the same style of black legging into an outfit and really feel good about it?
Not that many Tuesdays.
What works is that this really IS perfectly business casual. I mean, maybe you can't wear yellow ice cream cone print on a hot pink skater dress to your office but who is going to argue with the general principle of dress over leggings? (People who hate leggings and business casual, obviously, but we're moving past that.)
I got a bunch of compliments on this outfit and only the 7-11 register dude realized I was wearing a sports bra -- and even that is just because he looked down my top. This has to count as a stealth fitness gear win even if it would get boring after a while.
Maxi dresses solve a lot of problems. You can't even see those ubiquitous black leggings -- and I don't have to worry about chub rub. It's a total win-win! The black sports bra, which you can't even really see in this picture, totally just looked like a black tanktop there to preserve my professional modesty.
Now, if I were actually running instead of walking, the sports bra I am wearing in these pictures would not work as well. This is the light version of the Enell bra -- the one that is for walking and yoga and other activities that are not high impact. I tried this with the sport version, and it isn't so much the flattening that is a problem. It's the way it totally changing the shape of my upper body and makes my clothes totally not fit right.
The trick to wearing your sports bra to work seems to be finding the right combination of sports bra and dress that won't look weird if your boobs are in a slightly different spot. For example, this dress actually fits better because of the slight compression -- the weird diagonal seam falls in a better place.
These outfits do still involve some changing in the restroom at work. But since it's just a matter of putting on my workout shirt instead of stripping down to my fundament, it seems a lot less weird. And I can even put on my tennis shoes at my desk.
If I were really good at this, I think I'd be layering a plain black workout tank top under a fancier tunic top over kickass leggings. I'd be buying up Cult of California gear (they're having a sale on Zulily right now -- I did snap up those foil leggings) figuring out how to lagen look my workout style. But right now it's still too hot to fitness in the great outdoors while wearing a lot of clothes, so I'm saving those experiments for November.
I think another part of why I don't want to change into full-on workout gear at the office is that I'm not trying to be performative about my fitness. I just really love activity and now that I have blood iron and hemoglobin again, I'm raring to get back to DOING THINGS. Especially outside things because this is some of the nicest weather ever. This weather is why I live in Florida in the first place.
When you have had some exercise trauma in the past (being a fat kid in gym class is made of trauma for a lot of people), it can really damage your love of movement. It can, in fact, make you hate movement and react really negatively to the mere suggestion of it. I'm cool with movement, but I tend to have a strong negative reaction when people -- especially office people who don't know me -- look at me in exercise clothes and assume I am pursuing weight loss.
The cultural linkage between movement and the pursuit of weight loss is so strong that people can't imagine WHY you would be outside doing things and getting all sweaty if you weren't trying to be thinner. There's this "Oh, look at how GOOD you're being" commentary that gets offered, the same thing that happens when fat people eat salad in public sometimes.
That's so infuriating.
(And factually inaccurate -- I'm not being good. I'm being selfish because I'm taking an entire night and I'm not writing or organizing or spending time with Ed and the dog. I'm hanging out with friends and doing something I really enjoy just for the sake of enjoying it.)
I'd also like to include a note that everyone's body is different; there are plenty of people for whom this sort of thing really is detrimental. Positioning an active lifestyle as a virtue screws those people over but good. I'm not here to screw people over.
What do you wear when you are combining fitnessing and business casual? Is there a kind of movement you particularly like? How about this weather we're having? Isn't it gorgeous?
Marianne basically never discusses fitnessing on Twitter because that'd be boring as all hell: @The Rotund.

What is an object?
An object has two forms: the direct object, and the indirect object. The direct object completes the function of a transitive verb. This means that it gives the verb a target for its action and answers the question what? or who? about the verb:
The boy hit the ball out of the park. In this sentence, the direct object is the ball, and it is the object, or the target of the verb hit. The boy hit what? He hit the ball.
My assistant will call you when the documents are ready. In this sentence, the direct object is you, and it is the object, or the target of the verb call. Call who? Call you.
It is important to remember that a direct object can only be used with a transitive verb. The verb go, for example, is an intransitive verb and therefore cannot take an object:
Hugh went to the store. In this sentence, to the store does not answer the question what? About the verb go, but rather the question where?. To the store is a prepositional phrase used as an adverb.
An indirect object answers the question to/for what? or to/for whom?. It must be used in conjunction with a direct object as the above questions are aimed at the direct object, not the verb itself:
The shy boy gave the pretty girl a note to express his feelings towards her. In this sentence the direct object that completes the verb gave is a note. The indirect object suggests that the note is for or to the pretty girl, or He gave a note to the pretty girl.
It is also important to remember that an object does not need to follow only a verb; it can also complete a preposition. This means that a preposition that shows movement or direction might have an object as the destination of the movement:
We spoke about the movie.
She sat in the chair.
In both of these sentences, the verbs are intransitive. This means that they do not need an object to be complete. (We spoke., and She sat. are complete sentences. The prepositional phrases that follow them are considered complements and adverbs, respectively. These will be discussed in another section).
An object may also follow a present participle, which is the –ing form of a verb. While technically a verb, a participle is used as an adjective or adverb. Nonetheless, it may take an object (participles are discussed in their own section):
Realizing that time was running out, John quickly filled in all the missing blanks on his answer sheet.
A last note: in the passive structures, we must remember that the subject of the sentence is nevertheless the object of the verb:
The package was delivered on time = (The courier, delivery person, etc.) delivered the package on time.
As with the subject of a sentence, the object can appear in many forms. In fact, the forms are the same as those used for subjects:
Noun or Pronoun:
The team played well and won the game.
Please pass the message along to Dr. Williams.
Let me know if you find him.
Noun phrase
The older boys in the class often tease the younger and weaker kids.
Golf requires balance; you should buy shoes with spikes in the soles.
Noun clause
I'm sorry, could please repeat what you just said?
The supervisor is extremely angry and wants to know immediately how this sort of thing can happen so quickly.
Many people love being loved.
Marcy enjoys cooking for her family.
Notice the verbs in both sentences are state verbs, ones that don't indicate an action. These verbs will commonly take a gerund as an object more so than an active verb.
Infinitive phrase
If you want to succeed in life, you need to learn to work hard.
object of want =to succeed object of need = to learn object of learn = to work hard
remember that every transitive verb, whether it is a main verb or an "extra" verb in a sentence, must take an object in order to be complete.
Please tell Jim to contact me as soon as possible. In this sentence Jim is the object of tell, while to contact me is a complement. A complement completes the meaning of a part of a sentence (we will look at complements in another section.) me is the object of the verb to contact.

- Balearics
- Canary Islands

Beguiling, contrasting, inspiring and relaxing; just a few of the epithets readily associated with this unique destination. As the most easterly and oldest of Spain's Canary Islands, Lanzarote nestles in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa. Boasting an average annual temperature of 22°C and over 2500 hours of sunshine per year the climate of this wonderful island is the envy of many.
Over 40 years ago, showing commendable far-sightedness, the local government completely ruled out the idea of developing Lanzarote for mass tourism meaning that today over 40% of the land is officially protected. While clear pockets of tourism development most certainly exist, it is still the case that large tracts of hinterland as well as long stretches of the coast remain pleasingly devoid of any obvious tourist presence and it is in these unsullied and attractive spots that we have chosen to focus our hand-picked selection of properties.

Famously volcanic in origin, Lanzarote stretches 60km from north to south, is 25km wide and has a total coastline of 213km. A designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1993, it is home to one of the most dramatic landscapes on earth, the Timanfaya National Park, locally and accurately known as 'The Mountains of Fire'. Formed when a chain of now dormant volcanoes erupted in the 18th and 19th centuries, Timanfaya is one of only fourteen national parks in Spain and remains a part of the world completely frozen in time.
The most influential figure (many say the key figure) in the movement to preserve Lanzarote's natural state and innate wonders was the celebrated local artist César Manrique and evidence of his pervasive influence can be seen all across the island. Testament to the enduring legacy of one of Spain's greatest 20th Century artists is a magnificent body of work comprising sculptures, murals, buildings, landscaped gardens and even a selection of large quirky mobiles.

Alongside tourism it is agriculture that provides the main stay of the island's economy. Onions, potatoes and spinach are the chief crops and it is still not uncommon to see camels being used by the older generation of farmers to plough their land in traditional, time-honoured fashion (although these days they are mainly found carrying visitors through the national park - the camels that is, not the farmers!).
The arid La Geria region is a renowned centre of viticulture; a fact which to the casual observer may seem a surprise if not a contradiction in terms. How can vines grow in such a barren landscape? The answer lies in the ingenious way islanders have combined nature and know-how by constructing low semi-circular stone walls (zocos) out of volcanic rock within which the vines are planted 2-3m deep in porous lava granules. Protected from wind and drip fed water absorbed by the rocks from the night dew, the vines flourish, producing a respected Malvasia whose reputation stretches back even as far as Shakespeare who specifically mentions the wine in 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'.
Capital of the island until 1852 (when that honour passed to Arrecife), the sleepy demeanour of Teguise disguises a rich history. One of the oldest towns in the Canaries and the epitome of laid-back island life for six days a week, Teguise bursts into life only on Sunday mornings when a rambling market takes over the streets and bouts of exuberant folk dancing break out in front of the parish church.

Nearby Los Valles, equally somnolent yet no less appealing is the convenient location for one of our chosen properties. Heading south, La Asomada is a gentle rural community, full of pastoral charm and perfectly positioned for easy forays to the island's most notable attractions. The bright lights and vibrant nightlife of bustling Puerto del Carmen are also within easy distance - although you would never know it.
Regularly voted one of the prettiest villages in the Canaries, whitewashed Yaiza, together with its satellite settlement Las Breñas, is the gateway to some of the island's most notable beaches. Papagayo, the name given to Lanzarote's most southerly tip, has also become the assumed name for a series of remarkable coves of soft black and gold sand that border the peninsula. In contrast to nearby Playa Blanca, not an iota of development has ever been permitted here and strictly controlled access ensures Papagayo has been and is being kept in as virgin a condition as possible. It is a gorgeous spot.
Wonderful views of Timanfaya and La Geria can be enjoyed both on the way to and looking back from Tinajo, another typically relaxed village. Here the road forks; north leads to the impressive sporting centre of La Santa (a regular pre-season training camp for famous sporting individuals and teams); east brings Famara, one of the wildest and most dramatic, cliff backed sandy beaches in Spain, renowned as a world class location for all forms of surfing.
View villas in the Canary Islands
Lanzarote is home to over 500 different plants (around 20 of which are endemic), none more impressive than the soaring Date Palm found in abundance around Haría and the romantically named Valley of 1000 Palms, a stirring sight all year but particularly when vegetation is at its most colourful in February and March. Crown jewel of views on an island of remarkable scenery is undoubtedly the 479m high Mirador del Río.
An incredible architectural achievement and brainchild of César Manrique, the panoramic vista across to neighbouring La Graciosa island, spread out in bas relief just 1000m away, is one of the most impressive in Europe. Regular ferries cross the 'río' to this 27 km² outcrop of unblemished sand, rock and pristine beaches which has no tarmac roads, a population of about 500, a bakery, three supermarkets, a DIY shop (!) and a decent choice of simply-styled bars and restaurants. This is a place made for the sort of barefoot, sun-soaked and chilled-out living normally only associated with the more remote parts of the Caribbean.

SHOCKED mum Kayleigh Renwick went to the doctors with back ache - and six hours later she had given birth.
The 24-year-old knew nothing of her pregnancy and within minutes of seeing a doctor he realised she was expecting.
The nursery nurse, already a mum to Grace, was rushed to hospital and into the maternity ward to give birth. Just under six hours later 7lb 7oz baby Lucy was delivered - five weeks overdue.
Kayleigh said: "You read about women not realising they were pregnant and think 'how did you not know?'. I had no pram, no cot, nothing. I'd given it all away after Grace as was adamant we weren't going to have another baby."
Kayleigh, from Stanley, Co. Durham, got back ache when she visited the park with her parter Daniel Madge and their two year-old daughter Grace in May.
Unable to shift the cramp she visited an out-of-hours medical centre to get some medication for what she assumed was a kidney infection.
It was while she was sat waiting for the results of a routine urine test that a doctor asked her "how far into your pregnancy are you?"
Shocked Kayleigh maintained she wasn't pregnant and was sent to the University Hospital of North Durham for a scan.
She said: "Just after 6pm I was seeing a doctor and by 7.30pm I was at the maternity ward having a scan. If they'd said I was four months pregnant I could have got my head around that but they said "it's good news, there's a baby there and you're 8cm dilated."
"I couldn't believe it. My body went into shock and I started throwing up.
"I had periods throughout the pregnancy and in February was sick a couple of times so did a pregnancy test and it came back negative. There were just no further symptoms."
Lucy was born weighing 7lb 7ons with very dry, cracked skin. Midwives told Kayleigh when they'd delivered her placenta it had stopped working.
Kayleigh said: "They didn't know what Lucy had been surviving on and thought she was up to five weeks overdue.
"She was back-to-back and they think tucked behind my pelvis which is why I was getting the back ache. Grace has been brilliant with Lucy, it's like she's always been here."
Now six-months-old Lucy has been diagnosed with severe Brachycephaly and Plagiocephaly, commonly known as Flat Head Syndrome (FHS), causing her head to misshapen.
While a baby's sleeping position is the main cause of mild FHS other causes include factors in the womb such as a lack of amniotic fluid and the position of the baby.
Deemed as cosmetic, corrective measures for Lucy's condition are refused on the NHS leaving her desperate family with escalating costs if they want to help their youngest daughter.
The cranial helmet she needs to try and reshape her skull costs £2,000 with additional expenses for the family having to travel weekly to a clinic in Leeds specialising in her condition.
Her condition was evident to Kayleigh and Daniel just days after her birth but midwives assured them that, as is the case with millions of newborns, babies soon after birth can have misshapen heads.
Kayleigh said: "It wasn't until I took Lucy to the doctor that anyone showed any concern for the shape of her head but it was clear just to look at her it was flat.
"We were referred to a consultant who told us Lucy had Plagiocephaly but because the condition is cosmetic there was little the NHS can do. You could see straight away her head was misshapen and we didn't want Lucy to have to grow up with this. Children can be so cruel and I didn't want that for my little girl.
"I went to the hospital hoping they'd help. If the NHS can fund boob jobs and gastric bands, why can't they fund a child in need?"
FHS occurs when a baby's soft skull bones are subjected to abnormal or prolonged pressure and the baby develops a misshapen head.
While Plagiocephaly refers to flatness at the sides of the head, Lucy also has brachycephaly which is flatness at the back of the head. Both conditions can cause changes to a baby's facial features such as ears and eyes not being aligned and, as with Lucy, their forehead jutting out more than it normally would.
Lucy will have to wear the helmet 23 hours a day with the possibility of blisters on her head during the first seven weeks. Kayleigh will need to travel to Leeds every week at a cost of £116 a time for six weeks and then every fortnight after that so Lucy's progress can be monitored.
The family and close friends have already held several fundraising events for Lucy with the latest, a charity night, taking place on Thursday at Craghead Legion on Middles Road, with a raffle and entertainment.

Welcome January 2011 and National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month!
It is that time of year for new beginnings and resolutions. Many of my patients have embraced this as an opportunity for self-improvement. If you are still searching for that ideal goal, I have the perfect resolution for you. January is National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Make a resolution to come in for your preventive health exam or encourage a family member who has neglected her own health to do so. The CDC reported as recently as 2002 that 13,000 new cases of cervical cancer will be diagnosed annually in the U.S. This is disheartening. Cervical cancer is a 100% preventable disease!
Two of the biggest risk factors for the development of cervical cancer are lack of regular screening and human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. We can now detect infection by high risk HPV even when the PAP smear cytology is normal. Further, surveillance and early treatment is proven to prevent progression to cancer. Patients need not fear a PAP smear or hearing that their result is abnormal. It is normal to be shy about such a personal exam, but PAP smears need not be painful at all. Indicated surveillance is done in the office using a special microscope called a colposcope to identify areas of abnormality. If treatment is required, it can be done with a simple outpatient procedure.
The worst thing a woman can do is to neglect or ignore this basic health need. For additional information check out http://www.womenshealth.gov/faq/pap-test.cfm.

Diamondback Bicycles unveiled its 2013 line of mountain bikes over the weekend with the perfect blend of new product information and actual time on the trails--as well as on a spectacular composition of backyard dirt jumps.
The backdrop for the new lineup of bikes was the extraordinary alpine singletrack that surrounds Park City, Utah--home to Diamondback rider Eric Porter and a core assemblage of mountain bikers and trail builders. With such an impressive selection of world-class trails and jumps, little time was wasted in getting out on the dirt.
Among the 2013 line of bikes were time-tested stalwarts such as the Mission, the Scapegoat and the increasingly popular Sortie 29, in addition to highly anticipated newcomers like the 29-inch, long-travel hardtail called the Mason.
On hand to try out the bikes were the winners of online contests for bikemag.com and pinkbike.com--respectively, Matt Jagger of Olympia, Washington, and Ted Morton of Kamloops, British Columbia. Not only did the contest winners turn out to be stand-up dudes, both happened to be absolute rippers who put the bikes through their paces on the trails and dirt jumps.
You'll be hearing and seeing more about the new bikes in the coming weeks, but for now we offer a gallery of images and words summing up our weekend
Forsaking the obligatory PowerPoints and Kool-Aid drinking, we opted for a patch of shade and a succinct overview of the 2013 bikes before hitting the trails.
Silhouetted and safety checked--keys, wallet, phone, Knucklebox...check. A PBR in the pack and we're good to go.
If you wanna play with the Big Dogs, you've gotta get off the porch and into the Wasatch Mountains--hang tight, young Milo Porter (bottom left), you'll get cranks on that bike soon enough.
A tale of Matt and the Mason--maneuvering through the aspens of the Wasatch Crest trail on Diamondback's one-of-a-kind, raked-out hardtail 29er.
Every descent should start with good friends and a laugh: Matt Jagger and Ted Morton trade jabs with Diamondback marketing hustler Jon Kennedy before shredding their way down a 3,000-foot Symphony of Destruction.
No spineless lines for Diamondback team rider Kelly McGarry, whether on his home jumps in New Zealand or a burly Wasatch ridgeline.
Matt Jagger gets waaaaaaay too much satisfaction on this stretch of the Wasatch Crest--no brakes, no mistakes.
Tearing through the aspens of the Wasatch is better than your first time listening to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Beers, barrels and backyard behemoths: Whipping the jumps back into shape after an afternoon thunderstorm.
"Listen up boys: These jumps will one day be yours--but always remember to respect the drainage."
The first rider to drop in after the storm was two-and-a-half-year-old Milo Porter, who lamented the mud-shedding shortcomings of his Strider tires--not to mention those of his bogged-up Baby Crocs.
Chillin' with the Build Crew and McGazza on Porter's back porch.
The Park City Chainsaw Massacre--soft lips and soft landings didn't stand a chance against the Diamondback determination.
Option one: Scramble to the top of the roll-in. Option two: Grab a cold one and settle in for the Billy Lewis Show.
The Co-Presidents of the Kelly McGarry Fan Club scream louder than Slayer fans calling for an Angel of Death encore.
Billy Lewis goes to Heaven...sideways.
"We were told this is an all-ages show": The Co-Presidents of the Kelly McGarry Fan Club--Milo Porter and Charlie Dalton--demand back-flips or a full refund.
The Build Crew--Derek Thomson, Dan Hammack and Beau Hennings, of Buckets-Up Construction--revel in the fruits of their own destruction.
First session. Golden light. Eric Porter takes flight on his new backyard Zen Garden after two months of muscle-driven meditation.
Mi casa su casa--Porter doles out the hospitality, from the high-alpine hijinks to the hoppy goodness of his home brews.

What Our Clients Say
Over the last 25 years, Steve Mueller has helped me save money and stay in business by doing machine maintenance repairs. I have also bought new and used machines with his help. In 2004, I had Steve tune my Landis K, as I was competing to win the SSIA silver cup. I feel that because my stitcher was operating in top condition that it certainly helped my score to win the 2005 competition, as well as made my customers work look better! Besides why fight with everyday work when Steve is there to help! Thank you both Steve and Lisa Mueller!
It was my good fortune to meet Steve Mueller many years ago at an SSIA convention. His knowledge of shoe repair equipment is unsurpassed. He has helped me troubleshoot equipment problems over the phone on many occasions. His expertise allows him to explain the intricate workings of complicated machines to even the most inexperienced novice. Together, he and Lisa are a knowledgeable team absolutely committed to quality and great customer service. Their incredible in-stock supply of parts has helped me keep my Landis, Sutton, and Claes machines running well, which saves me time and money. I am not sure where my business would be without their help.
We have purchased several peices of equipment from Gateway Shoe Machine in the past. Including a Model L Stitcher, a Bostich Shoe Press, and a Claes Patch Machine (which I absolutely love). They are very helpful with knowing how to use the equipment as well as how to maintain the equipment. Steve at Gateway shoe Machine has been exceptionally helpful with our machine repairs. If a machine breaks down he will stop what he is doing when I arrive with my machine and repair it the same day so I can get back to work with it. He has also walked me through repairs on the phone on smaller issues. I would recommend Gateway Shoe Machine to anyone who wants quality equipment and exceptionally great service.
My family has been doing business with Gateway Shoe Machine for over 30 years. We have bought several machines from Steve. Because of their knowledge of our equipment, we will only use Gateway Shoe Machine for our machinery, service, and parts needs. If we do not know the name or number of the part, we describe it and they get it right. When Steve is in our shop, servicing our equipment, he make sure things are just right before he leaves. When Lisa answers the phone, she is always curitous and has a wealth of knowledge of our machinery. Steve is always happy to help us work out any problems over the phone. We would be happy to recommend Gateway Shoe Machine to any shoe repairer that needs machinery, parts, or service. Thanks Steve for following in your daddy's footsteps.
Steve, I just wanted to thank you for helping me get the tension correct on my Landis K Stitcher. I appreciate that you took time out of your busy day to help me. Just that little bit of help made a HUGE difference for me. Again, thanks so much for your help.
I have been a customer of Gateway for better than 30 years. Steve, Jerry, and Tony have kept my machines in perfect shape the entire time. I have "saved a lot of soles and heeled a lot of people" thanks to them.
We rely heavily on Stephen, Lisa, and their crew for all our machine parts, and for repair on current machinery. We also depend on them when we need to purchase new machinery. Thank you, Gateway!
Claes Sewing Machines are the "Best in the West". I could not be happier with my Claes Patch Machines. I own two Claes, both a 30 model and a 20 model. Gateway Shoe Machine is a great place to do business.

Each year, the Office of Solid Waste Reduction and Recycling of Solid Waste Reduction and Recycling (Office) recognizes South Carolina schools and educators for their outstanding waste reduction and recycling efforts through the Take Action Today Awards Program.
The following award recipients were recognized at the summer Take Action Today Workshop for their efforts during the 2015-2016 school year.
Melany Nussbaumer, North Myrtle Beach Middle School
Melany Nussbaumer of North Myrtle Beach Middle School in Horry County improved the school's recycling program by securing four grants and adding recycling bins and scales. The school also participated in the first "GoGo Fest" to promote recycling and had student volunteers participate in five clean-up events collecting trash along beaches, boat landings and waterways. Melany's personal involvement is a shining example to the students, staff, faculty and parents of North Myrtle Beach Middle. She uses opportunities to be an ambassador for environmental causes she cares about and is affectionately known as the "recycling lady".
Brooke Scott, Deerfield Elementary School
Brook Scott of Deerfield Elementary in Lexington County has made tremendous progress and is having startup success since the opening of Deerfield in August 2014. The recycling effort she leads begins at the school and then bridges out into the local community. Brooke created "Planet Heroes," which features one student per classroom who promotes recycling and also acts as host of the "Recycled Art Gala" where students create artwork from recycled items.
Outstanding Recycling School of the Year
The Outstanding Recycling School of the Year is Seaside Elementary School in Horry County. Darcy Jones led the school, which begins each day with "Green Works" announcements reminding students to recycle, and in securing grants from Horry County Solid Waste Authority and DHEC to purchase large roll carts, recycle bins and scales. The school also formed a partnership with private vendors to recycle plastic bags and to compost food waste and sponsored the "Fashion with Compassion" show in which all clothing was made with recyclable items. They've taken a typical recycling program as implemented at many of our schools and embraced it with hard work and dedicated resources that will have a beneficial impact on our environment for years to come.
Outstanding Composting School of the Year
Ocean Bay Middle School of Horry County is the state's Outstanding Composting School of the Year. Cindy Lilly led the school's composting program to collect 39 tons of organic waste. Composting has become a way of life for these twelve, thirteen and fourteen year olds. They collect all paper generated in the cafeteria including napkins, cardboard packaging, and milk cartons. They collect all food scraps including meats. They recently partnered with SMART Composting out of Charleston who collects their waste on a weekly basis in an effort to increase their composting efficiency. They have discovered that pencil shavings from the classrooms are also a big part of their compost collection. Finished compost is used in the herb and vegetable gardens on campus. The herbs and vegetables were sold during the school's annual Earth Day community fundraiser.
