Aleksandr Voinov is an author of GLBT fiction, mainly M/M and is part owner of the epublisher,Riptide Publishing, "a boutique purveyor of some of the finest LGBTQ fiction, romance, and erotica available today. Created by experienced M/M authors who were hungry for more favorable contracts, editing, marketing support, and royalty rates, Riptide Publishing seeks to fill a critical niche in the LGBTQ market: quality books, pristinely packaged, that will satisfy readers' desires for rich, plotty, well-edited stories for which the author is fairly paid."
I asked Aleks to stop by my blog to talk about his work, epublishing, M/M romance and a wide variety of other topics, including a book giveaway from Aleks himself!
So I'm an example of the author who finally does the right thing after exhausting all other options, to bastardize Churchill. I tossed it all in and went back to writing "for myself". Those stories, like my very first stories, featured gay/bisexual male characters, who, now that I didn't have to consider the homophobia of basement-dwellers and tender feelings of insecure male teenagers (and actually found the courage), ended up having sex on the page. Big fireworks, revelation! I really loved writing that. I showed my writing to a friend who was big in the online fandoms and she said I was writing "original slash". Now curious, I looked into this "slash thing", but realized it's all about shows that either were never shown in Germany or months and years later, and, besides, I don't have the skills for fanfiction. I need my own characters. I did end up writing a Punisher and Iron Man slash novel, but I think my co-writer and I ended up being a "fandom" of two.

We find Demeter Fragrance Library utterly diverting, even if we have quirked an eyebrow or two at some of their more mischievous concoctions. And since their bag is to perfectly recreate real-world scents, we were more than a little curious about their partnership with, of all companies, Sanrio. The first three entries in a line of "signature scents" for some of the knickknack titan's beloved mascots include Hello Kitty (an apple scent, points to anyone who can immediately say why), Little Twin Stars (a citrus blend) and My Melody. The Little Red Riding Bunny is represented with a sweet vanilla and almond concotion ($20 for one ounce) that is, in fact, fantastic as a layering scent. And it's not just a natural for punching up gourmand scents - we tried it with a rich, superdignified floral and it worked like a charm.
We can't wait for Kuromi.

Special Spay/Neuter Promotion for Pit Bulls & Pit Bull Mixes!
We love Pit Bulls! What we don't love is that there are so many unwanted Pit Bulls and Pit Bull Mixes who are euthanized in shelters. That is why we are now offering discounted spay/neuter surgeries for Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes at our Animal Health Center.
Spaying/neutering is the single-most effective, documented method of reducing euthanasia rates. If making our already low surgery prices even more affordable will help save more of these wonderful dogs, we are happy to do so!
If Pit Bull/Pit Bull mix owners do not qualify for Hillsborough County Animal Services $10 spay/neuter voucher, we will discount their surgery by $25.00.
Under 50 pounds: $85
Over 50 pounds: $90
Under 50 pounds: $95
Over 50 pounds: $115
Please call 813.870.3304 for more information or to make your appointment!
We adopted toy poodle mix GATSBY (formerly known as Pierre) on Feb 15th from you and wanted to share that he is doing so much better and we are in love with him. When we picked up Gatsby he was very quiet and a little sick (we were told that he probably had kennel cough) and the next day we took him to his designated vet (in our area) for a general check-up.
Since then (and with the help of some powerful antibiotics and lots of love and "kisses" on our part) Gatsby has fully adapted to his new home and we think that he believes he is the "prince" in this house. Friends and family could not wait to see him and Gatsby certainly enjoys the attention. Yesterday Gatsby also got his first bath and grooming session and now he looks like a prince, too!
We wanted to thank all the staff and volunteers at the Humane Society that they are doing such a wondeful jub in caring for all the animals over there and trying to give them a second (or third) chance. Also, our experience at the Humane Society was wonderful, with Dana explaining everything in detail and giving us valuable tips regarding dog care etc.
We attached a photo of Gatsby taken right after his appointment at the grooming salon for you to see how handsome he is!
Eddie and Ozlem Tan
I first saw Louie on the Humane Society webpage while at FSU in Tallahassee while he was still named Colt, and he stole my heart. I called my mom begging her to just go see him, but she said she did not have time. Little did I know, she went to see him that day after work & fell in love with him as well. The next day while sitting in class, I checked the website & saw Colt wasn't on there anymore, and my heart sank into my chest and tears filled my eyes. I called my mom as soon as I got out and cried to her, I couldn't believe he was gone! She tells me to check my messages and call her back, so I look on my phone and its a picture of her holding my sweet little boy!!!! Words cannot express how happy I was! I raced home to Tampa as fast as I could to get my brown ball of fluff in my arms. Nothing has made me happier than my Louie, and I have to thank my mom and the Humane Society for that. I look forward to giving Louie the long, healthy, and happy life he deserves.

Coffee Cuts Skin Cancer Risk
by Sheela Philomena on October 25, 2011 at 11:50 AM Cancer News - G J E 4
Coffee drinkers have lower risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) - most common form of skin cancer, shows study.
Women who drank more than three cups per day of caffeinated coffee saw a 20 percent lower risk of getting basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a slow-growing form of cancer, than those who drank less than a cup per month.
AdvertisementMen who drank the same amount saw a nine percent lower risk, said the research presented at the 10th American Association for Cancer Research International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research in Boston.
"Given the nearly one million new cases of BCC diagnosed each year in the United States, daily dietary factors with even small protective effects may have great public health impact," said researcher Fengju Song, a postdoctoral fellow in the department of dermatology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
"Our study indicates that coffee consumption may be an important option to help prevent BCC."
The data was derived from the Nurses' Health Study (Brigham and Women?s Hospital) and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (Harvard School of Public Health).
The nurses study followed 72,921 participants from June 1984 to June 2008. The health professionals study tracked 39,976 participants from June 1986 to June 2008.
Basal cell carcinoma was the most frequently diagnosed skin cancer in the groups, totaling 22,786 cases.
The benefits of coffee drinking were not seen against the next two most prevalent types -- squamous cell carcinoma (1,953 cases) or melanoma (741 cases).
Basal cell carcinoma is a non-melanoma form of skin cancer, and is the most common cancer in the United States. Seventy-five percent of all skin cancers are basal cell carcinomas, according to the American Cancer Society.
It is most common in people with light hair and green or blue eyes, and can manifest itself as a skin sore that bleeds and doesn't heal, though it rarely spreads to other parts of the body.
Previous studies have shown coffee drinkers tend to have fewer incidences of breast, uterine, prostate and colon cancers, but the beneficial effects are not seen in people who drink decaffeinated coffee.

Welcome to Sun Haven Valley Country Holiday Park for great caravan holidays in Cornwall
Peace - Countryside - Relaxation
- just ten minutes woodland walk from a large sandy beach
Sun Haven Valley is a family run, caravan holiday park & campsite in Cornwall.
Located in a rural valley and surrounded by views of magnificent Cornish countryside, we are one of the leading caravan campsites in cornwall. Just a ten minute walk from the large sandy beach at Mawgan Porth in one direction and the Cornish village of St. Mawgan in the other.
Set very much in the centre of Cornwall, but on the North Coast, we are the ideal spot for a touring base, - in easy reach of everywhere from Lands end to Launceston ; and while Cornwall's North Coast is famous for it's sandy beaches, Mawgan Porth tops them all having been rated by the Sunday Times as one of the UK's ten best beaches.
One of the most peaceful Caravan Parks in Cornwall
Facilities on the caravan site include a childrens play park, and a small games and TV room - here the emphasis is on peace and quiet at the caravan park for your total relaxation. The facilities are closed at 9.30pm and we run a VERY STRICT policy of "silence at 10:30pm"
There is a 'country bar' some half mile from our back gate and the local farmer runs a summer cafe - but on site we have No Club, No Bar and No restaurant. Not only do our regulars appreciate their absence but we cannot compete with the two pubs and half dozen eating establishments within walking distance of the holiday caravan park.
See the Cornwall campsite now with our 360 View Feature below
Or click here for our Photo Gallery
Asda and Sainsbury's may deliver to your pitch or caravan but Tesco deliveries will have to be collected from the gate after the driver has notified you of his arrival. Due to previous safety problems Tesco delivery vans are NOT allowed onto the park.

Portsmouth, VA (June 8, 2009) Governor Timothy M. Kaine has announced that the City of Portsmouth will receive $2 million of Neighborhood Stabilization Funding to purchase and rehabilitate foreclosed homes that will be sold to low-to-moderate income families.
The City of Portsmouth applied for and will receive $2 million from the Department of Housing and Community Development which can be used in a maximum of three neighborhoods where the foreclosure rate is at or above 10%. Properties have been identified in the neighborhoods of Westhaven Park, Cradock, and Prentis Park.
The City of Portsmouth, in partnership with the Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority (PRHA) and the Community Housing Development Organization, CCDI, have identified 12 properties. The next step will be to work with the banks to purchase the properties at 15% below fair market value. As required, the homes will be sold to first-time homebuyers who are currently at or below 80% of the area median income.
The deadline for using the funds is within 18 months. In addition, this Neighborhood Stabilization Funding is a part of a revolving fund program which has the potential of replacing funds when they are used successfully and homes are sold.

Afternoon Roundup: Jackson, Dupri Split; Cuban Case Tossed
Jackson, Dupri Split: There's a reason Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson's long-time companion, wasn't at the King of Pop's memorial last week. The couple have reportedly split. [US Weekly]
'Julie & Julia' Author's Galleys Recalled: Little, Brown has recalled all galleys for "Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession," the second memoir by food blogger Julie Powell. Powell's editor says the reason for the delay was to avoid competition with the film adaptation of "J&J" and its tie-ins — and nothing to do with Powell's less palatable disclosure that she had an affair. [Observer]
MJ Settlement Near: Debbie Rowe and Katherine Jackson are reportedly close to settling their custody agreement over Michael Jackson's three children. The kids will most likely remain in Katherine's care. [TMZ]
Cuban Case Tossed: The insider trading case against Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has been tossed. The charges were originally filed in 2008 after Cuban sold all 600,000 of his shares in the company mamma.com right before they announced a private offering. The mouthy billionaire has yet to say "I told you so" on either his blog or Twitter account. [Marketwatch]
The Repo Man Took My Book! What exactly happened is sketchy so far (a little like the Amazon "gay book" incident), but it turns out that Amazon can reach out to your Kindle and suck your book back to the mother ship. Perhaps aptly, this happened with George Orwell's "1984," which the publisher decided it didn't want to have out there. Even as they raid your virtual book shelf, though, they do provide a refund.

In "Paris, je t'aime," celebrated directors from around the world--including the Coen Brothers, Gus Van Sant, Gurinder Chadha, Wes Craven, Walter Salles, Alexander Payne and Olivier Assayas--have come together to portray Paris in a way never before imagined. Made by a team of contributors as cosmopolitan as the city itself, this portrait of the city is as diverse as its creators' backgrounds and nationalities. With each director telling the story of an unusual encounter in one of the city's neighborhoods, the vignettes go beyond the "postcard" view of Paris to portray aspects of the city rarely seen on the big screen. An outstanding host of actors graces these vignettes with larger-than-life personas. Their performances add even deeper resonance to this affectionate love letter to one of the world's most transcendent cities.

Fresh air - everywhere! For a better quality of life.
Stale and stinky: If you are lacking fresh air but aeration is not an option, it could be due to a bathroom with no window, a kitchen with a tiny window, the cellar or a small bedroom with windows opening to a high traffic area. Conference and meeting rooms are also not always properly aerated. Sometimes even building structure characteristics make additional aeration necessary.
Or perhaps you don't want to part with expensive heated air?
Stands to reason – you put yourself at risk by dispensing with additional aeration. Cigarette smoke or noxious fumes from paint and cleaning products put your health at risk. It becomes very serious when condensation from the kitchen, bath or cellar collects to form mould that puts your health as well as the building structure at risk.
Clearly, this is not good.
Marley ventilation technology allows people and homes to breathe easy. Regulated ventilation saves energy and provides fresh air – for a better quality of life.

Greenhouse Cap-and-Trade System Will Harm the U.S. Economy, says Free Enterprise Education Institute
Apr 10, 2007, 01:00 ET from Free Enterprise Education Institute
WASHINGTON, April 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Global warming regulations backed by the General Electric Company, DuPont, Caterpillar and Lehman Brothers will cause higher energy prices and slower economic growth concludes a report by the Free Enterprise Education Institute. The report reviews a study by the Federal Energy Information Agency (EIA) of the Clinton-Gore Administration on the cost of implementing a cap and trade system in the U. S. Under the best scenario, the EIA concluded that a cap-and-trade regulatory scheme to reduce carbon dioxide emissions will: -- Raise gasoline prices by nearly 53 percent and raise energy prices by more than 86 percent; -- Reduce economic growth by 1.9 percent (about $256 billion of 2006 QIV GDP); -- Reduce economic activity across most industries including the construction, manufacturing, transportation and finance industries; and -- Exert upward pressure on overall prices and interest rates. "Lost in all the hype on global warming is the negative impact a cap-and- trade emissions scheme will have on the economy," said Wayne Winegarden Ph.D., author of the report. "Higher energy costs will ripple throughout the economy causing a cascade of harmful affects for consumers and industry," added Winegarden. The EIA report estimated the economic impact if the U.S. reduced carbon dioxide 7 percent below 1990 levels as prescribed by the Kyoto protocol. The report used a cap-and-trade system as the regulatory mechanism to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Under cap-and-trade, industries are allowed a limited amount of carbon dioxide emissions and if they exceed that quantity, they must buy emission "credits" from other companies. United States Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) -- a coalition of special interest environmental groups and corporations including GE, DuPont, Caterpillar and Lehman Brothers -- are lobbying Congress for a cap-and-trade as the preferred regulatory scheme to address global warming. "It's shocking to see companies pursuing regulations that will harm economic growth and jeopardize future earnings. Higher gasoline and energy prices will wreak havoc on consumers' budgets already squeezed by higher interest rates and utility prices," said Steve Milloy, executive director of the Free Enterprise Education Institute. The report is available at http://www.FreeEnterpriser.com.

Your man will never stop thinking that the best time to clip his toenails is right after you've cleaned the bathroom, so you may as well give up and get him a Clip N' Catch Nail Clipper ($4) to ensure that his trimmings won't wind up all over the floor. Now that this problem is solved, you can focus on training him to put a towel down when he shaves over the sink.

LORAIN — The discontent of some against the nation's leaders made its way to Lorain on Friday when 10 people from five cities and four different groups delivered a letter and a petition to U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton's office.
Members of the groups — Medina County Friends and Neighbors, the Akron Tea Party, the Cleveland Tea Party, the Westlake 9/12 Group and the Lorain 9/12 Project — say they believe legislators aren't reading bills before voting on them, and that they aren't voting in accordance with the views of their constituents.
The letter and the petition demands both, and it also seeks to have Sutton to post online any bill she's voting on at least 72 hours prior to the vote so constituents can read the bills and give her feedback.
Miles McClelland, a field representative for Sutton, accepted the letter and the petition, which included the signatures of 1,328 people who signed during the Medina County Fair.
John Viola, 65, of North Ridgeville and a member of the Lorain 9/12 project, said many have the wrong perception of why his group formed.
"We're not a violent group," he said. "We're just American citizens, and we're not being heard."
The 10 or so folks who visited Sutton's office Friday said they are upset with Sutton's support of HR 32000, which deals with health care reform. They contend the majority of people in the country are against it.
"They're not representing their constituents," MCFAN member Charles Reno of Medina said of federal legislators. "They're called 'representatives.' There's a clue there, and they're not representing … The majority of people in this district and across the country are against these health care bills … and (legislators) aren't listening."
In a teleconference earlier this week about the health care reform effort, Sutton was asked whether she's read the bill, and she assured those who dialed in that she had.
A representative from her office also said Friday that the group's opposition to changes in health care isn't what Sutton's staff hears every day from callers pleading for reform.

No. Oregon law prohibits an insurer from requiring you to use a certain repair shop.
Many insurers have relationships with repair shops. Some consumers like the idea of a repair network; some don't.
Before you sign a contract with the repair shop, notify your insurer and make sure you understand what the insurance company will pay. If you choose the most expensive shop in town, the insurance company may not be willing to pay the whole amount.
Comprehensive coverage typically covers damage from fire, theft, explosion, glass breakage, animal collision, and other incidents not covered by collision coverage.
Collision is usually defined as colliding with another object or overturning. Most auto policies have lower deductibles for comprehensive coverage than for collision coverage.
If you have an older car that may cost more to repair than it's worth, consider the following to save money:
Sometimes the value of a car is less than the balance on your car loan. If you are in an accident and your car is totaled, the insurance company bases its payment on the actual cash value (ACV) of the car at the time of the loss, not on the amount of your loan.
A special type of insurance called "guaranteed auto protection" or GAP, can be purchased when you buy a car. It may help in case of loss if you owe more on your lease or loan balance than the ACV of the vehicle.
This coverage is sometimes available as an endorsement to your regular auto insurance. Your agent can advise you if your company offers the coverage.
GAP coverage might not pay off your entire loan balance. In addition, GAP policies usually do not pay for the deductible from the primary auto insurer, missed payments, or late fees. There could be other limits, so carefully check your policy.

Q: First off, the cover to issue #78 looks a little slim - is the lineup as shown the full team?
Joe Kelly: No - there are more guys than shown on the team - more than eight. I'm loosening the reins a little as far as who's on the team for a little while, and expanding past the Big 7 to try and get a little fresh blood in, and try some new things, but also obviously, keep those guys around. Although some of the characters who are conspicuously absent on the cover are going to be absent for a while.
Q: Such as the Martian Manhunter?
JK: Could be.
Q: Well - the other character that seems almost a little odd to be missing, especially in light of the recent storyline is Aquaman. After all, the League just went through all this trouble to rescue him, and he shows his appreciation by not rejoining?
JK: Right - don't worry - all of the big questions get addressed in #76 as to who's on the team. As we're all hamstrung constantly because of solicits, if people aren't visible in that lineup, you find out why in #76. On top of that, as I said, there are one or two guys who are just missing from the cover shot on #78, who are sticking around.
As far as the Aquaman stuff, I would just point people to his ongoing series. It's one of the tough balancing acts with the JLA - they're not fully my toys, so when something comes along, and they tell me they're going to do a big relaunch for Aquaman, and they want it to come out of a story I'm telling, it's like, "Great - when do I get to use him?" Well, he has to go through X, Y, and Z for a little while. Sometimes it takes a little while for that kind of stuff to kick back, but there usually is a master plan for most of it.

The European Commission launched an online consultation for views from the public and business on reforming Community legislation on VAT and Financial Services.
The consultation was based on a paper (see below) which seeked views on the current legal framework as set out in the Sixth VAT Directive (Directive 77/388/EEC), and options for change. It explains why there is a need to review Community legislation in this area. In particular, it looks at why there is a need to ensure that it reflects the world as it is today, taking account of the changes that have occurred in the intervening 30 years.
This paper is of interest to stakeholders in the financial services industry, including insurance, their professional advisors and indeed to consumers of these services generally.
The purpose of consulting the public on this issue was to provide input to the discussion, gather relevant feedback and assist Commission services in developing their thinking on the subject.
The consultation was based on the document 'Consultation Paper on modernising Value Added Tax obligations for financial services and insurance(160 kB) '. This document does not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission nor does it mean that the Commission is committed to any official initiative in this area.
Comments were invited on this paper by 9 June 2006 at the latest.
Submissions had to be made in writing to
European Commission
Directorate-General Taxation and Customs Union
VAT and other turnover taxes unit
B-1049 Brussels
or by e-mail to email@example.com
or by fax to +32-2-299-36-48
A report(298 kB) summarising the outcome of the consultation has been published on this website.
As part of this consultation the Commission in conjunction with European Banking Federation held a one day conference on the modernisation of VAT on financial services (see IP/06/602 ). This took place in Brussels on Thursday 11th May and brought together representatives from the public sector and the business community (banking, insurance, fund and asset management and outsourced service providers).
The full programme including speeches and presentations can be found here.
Commission publishes working papers
Within the European Commission the Taxation and Customs Union Directorate-General ( VAT department) is currently preparing draft legislation on the exemption of insurance and financial services from Value Added Tax (VAT). In 2007 this is one of the most important legislative initiatives of our Directorate-General (DG). It focuses on modernising the definitions of exempt insurance and financial services with inter alia the objective of creating more legal certainty for economic operators and Member States' fiscal authorities. The initiative also provides for cross-border instruments enabling economic operators of that industry sector to benefit more from the Single European Market.
In the preparatory phase of preparing legislation following the public consultation as well as during the discussion of concrete options for legislation, the Taxation and Customs Union DG has maintained a transparent approach informing stakeholders on the content of the work in progress. For maintaining that transparency, our DG now publishes - further to and replacing the publication of 18 June 2007 - a last set of working papers covering all exempt services as well as possible provisions for the creation of VAT neutral cross-border vehicles.
As work continues, these working documents will only temporarily remain on this website. Given the advanced stage of the work, no further publication is to follow before the official proposals. Potential comments can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Brea, Calif. - UCLA senior Brad Greiner, junior Matthew Jacobs and sophomore Krsto Sbutega have earned ACWPC All-America Academic Team honors, the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches announced last week. Sbutega has twice been named to the AWPCA All-America Academic Team.
Sbutega, a sophomore from Rome, Italy, captured AWPCA All-America Academic "superior" accolades for the second time in as many years. In 2006, Sbutega scored 30 goals, the second-highest total on the team, on a team-high 92 attempts. A third-team All-America selection, he collected a team-leading 21 assists and 17 steals. Born in Kotor, Yugoslavia, the European product has registered 58 goals and 27 steals in 52 career matches.
Greiner, a senior from Yorba Linda, Calif., played in and started all 23 games for the Bruins. He scored nine goals on 21 attempts in his final season. Greiner was named to the AWPCA All-America Academic team for the first time in his career and was named an "excellent" student-athlete.
Jacobs, a junior from Santa Cruz, Calif., gained AWPCA All-America Academic "excellent" honors for the first time in his career. He finished the 2006 campaign with 13 goals on 31 attempts and added 15 steals for UCLA in all 23 games.
The AWPCA selects three All-Academic teams per year - outstanding (3.71 - 4.00 GPA), superior (3.41 - 3.70 GPA) and excellent (3.20 - 3.40 GPA).

UWG University of West Georgia Wolves fans will show their colors at the Paint It Blue contest against Valdosta State University's Blazers on Saturday, Feb. 7 in The Coliseum. First class basketball players and plenty of star power will be on display at this annual West Georgia-Valdosta State rivalry.
The event has never lacked for color or intensity, and the Wolves plan to take their basketball teams' royal blue color to a new level when the Blazers arrive for the GSC East Division double-header. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the first game begins at 5:30 p.m.
"We're asking Wolves fans to wear West Georgia blue to the game," said Eddie Duffey, West Georgia's assistant athletic director for operations. "Our objective is to fill every seat in The Coliseum and to make it a sea of blue on all four sides of the arena."
While supplies last, anyone wearing blue to the event will be given a commemorative royal blue wristband, and every fan will have an opportunity to have his or her hair dyed UWG Blue by professional stylists. Throughout the evening, blue-colored prizes will be given away and a half-time basketball toss may award one lucky fan a Palm Centro cell phone courtesy of Verizon Wireless.
The new Coliseum features comfortable stadium seating, food and beverage kiosks and a state-of-the-art scoreboard and sound system. The experience will transport fans from both schools to a new level of competition. Saturday's Paint it Blue showdown is expected to pack the 6,800 seat venue in this exciting UWG-VSU clash.
"We are reaching out to all UWG students, faculty and staff," said Duffey. "We are also wanting our alumni, fans and everyone in the West Georgia area to join us to make this a special night."
The Wolves and Blazers will battle for first place in the GSC East Division as West Georgia and Valdosta State enter the week with identical 5-1 records in division play.
The women's team, 14-5 on the season, is rated fifth in the season's first NCAA Division II South Region Poll. On Saturday, the winning team will gain the inside track to the division title and top seed from the East in next month's Gulf South Conference Tournament in Southaven, Miss.
The men's game between the Wolves and Blazers will represent the 112th game in the series, making the UWG-VSU rivalry the longest running for both universities. Saturday's action for the mens' teams will begin at 7:30 p.m. For more information, call 678-839-6533.

Winter shelter opens early to meet demandThe Associated Press | November 03,2013BRATTLEBORO A winter shelter for the homeless in Brattleboro will open today, a month earlier than usual because of increased demand that some say was brought about by federal budget cuts.
Lucie Fortier who runs the daytime shelter at the Brattleboro Area Drop In Center, said when she arrives at 8 a.m. each day there is usually a crowd of up to 10 people waiting to get in.
A lot of them are sleeping along the river bank, some are camping under the bridges, she said. Our people need to have a safe place to sleep.
The Drop In Center also sponsors the overnight winter shelter in the Baptist Church on Main Street. Its funded by donations and a state grant, Vermont Public Radio reports, and its run by volunteers, social service agencies and the local interfaith clergy group.
People are calling to ask when the shelter will open and if there is any place else they can stay until it opens, Fortier said. The demand is just there, she said.
But there arent many options because programs have been squeezed by federal budget cuts and federal housing subsidies are frozen, she said.
In Brattleboro an anti-camping ordinance and a crackdown on railroad property has made it even harder to live outside.
While the numbers of homeless people were fairly level statewide over the past year, in Brattleboro the number has gone up 12 percent, said Angus Chaney, who heads the Vermont Council on Homelessness.
The Brattleboro winter shelter served 172 people in the six months it was open last year, including five families and at least eight children, Fortier said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Dunne laid out a three-pronged approach to...

'Jersey Shore,' Season 5, Episode 10, 'One Meatball Stands Alone': TV Recap
Mike continues his mission of Gym, Tan, Tell the Truth, bringing Jionni out onto the deck. "I can't look you in the face every day and have a shot and have a drink and you not know that a couple months ago right before we went to Italy, you were still going out with Nicole. I don't know if you heard the rumors about me and her, as a man I want to tell you it did. I would want to know if something like that happened to me." Jionni shakes Mike's hand and says "thank you." Mike tells him to take it out you want to take it, and that's it. Mike ow claims he was doing it as a man. Jionni runs back upstairs and tells Snooki what Mike said. Jionni said "I didn't care, I didn't believe him." Jionni said "I was laughing" and continues to cuddle with Snooki. No harm no foul?
Mike's lurking around the house waiting for the blow up, and nothing happens. Mike pulls Ron onto the deck and tells him what he told Jionni. Sam tells them she just saw Jionni and Snooki and they were fine. She also mentions in the confessional that "If my boyfriend heard that news, he would be bugging out." (Well, that's an understatement. We've all seen Ron's temper), and Sam wonders if Jionni really cares about Snooki. As Mike comes downstairs, Jionni tells Snooki not to say anything. Because she would actually listen. And so it starts. Mike is all Patron Saint of Truth – I can't be friends with Jionni and look him in the eye knowing he doesn't know the truth and Snooki is still sticking to her story of it never happened. "Nicole you'll thank me at the end of the day because everything is out in the open." Jionni tries to tell her to stop but she doesn't listen and tells Mike she wants him to go die and rot in a hole. She starts throwing pickles at him. Jionni doesn't even let the whole situation bother him, he takes Snooki out to the shore.
Mike tells Vinny and Pauly what happened and the guys agree that Jionni doesn't throw a fit because he's doing other girls on the side – there's no way he stays home 6 nights a week. Pauly calls their relationship a joke which is a completely different tone than his tweet earlier this week.
Snooki informs us that her and Jionni are getting married when he proposes, which was actually quite recently. That night is family dinner and Snooki suggests camping on Wednesday. (That doesn't sound planned or faked at all). Because guidos camp. Somehow this turns into a giant food fight, mostly at Mike. Snooki grabs the potato salad and follows Mike onto the roof deck, and things start to get personal. Mike has condiments and Snooki has A1 sauce and then grabs milk. The deck is a mess and Mike slings a lot of insults. Snooki is gtting madder and madder and runs inside, jumps in Mike's bed (soaked with all sorts of disgusting food) and rolls around in his bed. Snooki tells him that he had no right to tell Jionni anything and that he's the worst friend she's ever had. Mike said "he's won the war, he told the truth and he's won the battle." The house discusses who they think is telling the truth and the unanimous decision is Mike. Liars get mad when they're caught in the act, Vinny says.
It's the last day of work, Deena says, now all of a sudden it's "sucky" that it's her last day of work. She barely worked all summer and spent most of it goofing off. I doubt she'll work today. Snooki and Ron talk about camping and Ron hopes it's not hot. The three make a list of things to bring: hot dogs, hamburgers and hair gel, nail glue, spray tan, bronzer. A banjo, toilet paper. Meanwhile MVP goes to GTL.
Jionni comes back, still isn't mad and the lovers go out on a date. Deena calls Joey, asking him to come down and visit. After the other night at Karma, I'm surprised she calls and he says ok. But she only calls Joey because she's surrounded by couples and is "getting tired of being single."Pauly and Vinny give Deena a hard time about this. Pauly says he's going to tell Joey that Deena is having feminine troubles to get him to leave. Haha. Joey calls and tells Pauly he's outside for Deena, but Pauly says she can't go out because she's sick. Joey's like I drove all the way out here "This is a joke" and Pauly tells him to turn around. The housemates are hard on Joey because he doesn't ask if she needs anything or offer to bring her anything. Joey calls back and Jenni answers and asks why he didn't offer anything, explains she's looking out for Deena "and when I smell a snake I call him out on it…Take care, enjoy your summer have a blast" and hangs up on him.
The guys are going to Aztec, but Ron "doesn't like sweating that much" unless he's at the gym, so him and the girls (minus Snooks) are going to Jimbo's. Deena begs Snooki (who's with Jionni) to come out, and Deena feels Snooki should come instead of staying in because she needs her. Jimbo's is quiet. Ron and Sam play video games and Deena cries to Jenni about Snooki being a bad friend. "Tonight I needed her" and she's all sad that the meatball stands alone.
Aztec is crowded. MVP is all over it. Mike meets a girl who just broke up with her boyfriend of 9 years. Each guy brings back a girl. Vinny says he didn't bring home a hot girl because they're usually boring and "I want some variety in my diet." All the girls stay.
New day – it's camping time. "I don't know if guidos should camp" Pauly says and him and Vinny stay home. "I'm not into sleeping outside, no mirrors no blow out." The guidos definitely don't look like they're going camping. They're kinda dressed up…in furry boots and cowboy hats and short shorts.
Pauly and Vinny stayed home so they could have the house to themselves to do the "prank of all pranks." They talk about moving the whole outside inside and vice versa. They put some serious thought into this and they decide to recruit Danny for help. "I'm in if it's against the meatballs," Danny says. Pauly and Vinny are getting pretty intense. They move EVERYTHING onto the deck. "This not only takes muscle, it takes brains" Vinny says. Since they can't fit the jacuzzi inside the door, they buy a kiddie pool to take its place. Danny brings astro-turf to make the living room like the deck. They bring the hammock in and everything. "Not bad for a dj and a couple of t-shirt pressers."
The rest of the gang goes to a real campsite and the first order of business is – putting together the tent. Mike's tent is immaculate "I can't believe he has the brain span to build a good tent" Ron says. I think most of America agrees. Jenni's comes out nice too. "I'm from the Bronx, the closest thing I see to people camping outside are homeless people." Ron and Sam's tent looks nothing like a tent and is not staying up…eventually everything works out and it's time to cook. Mike builds the fire with a gigantic tree. Deena calls Mike a hermaphrodite. Maybe she meant pyromaniac. Cuz those words sound alike. Somewhere along the way, Mike starts getting paranoid and thinks someone is going to jump out of the tents, maybe even Jason. (Jason? Really?). "This is a wilderness" he explains.
Deena gets around to talking to the girls saying that they used to have girls night and because they all have boyfriends she doesn't see them as much. Deena says that "I feel like I lost my meatball" referring to Snooki, who says "I'm in love don't make me feel guilty." Snooki tells the camera that Deena is jealous and doesn't know what to do. Jenni is upset because apparently everyone thinks that her and Snooki have changed (they have, it's just what happens when you go from being single to being in a relationship. Jenni, you're Jersey Shore line is "after I have sex with a guy I will rip their heads off. I haven't seen you rip anyone's head off, and you've only had sex with your ex boyfriend and Roger). Camping goes off without a hitch, but the campsite is a MESS. There's bugs everywhere and nobody is happy – they all want to get out of there.
Back at the house Pauly and Vinny are in the kiddie pool, pretending to tan. Pauly even has suntan lotion on is nose. Snooki is the first one into the house — and we have to wait til next week – the season finale — to see their reaction.

Another Anti-Gay Business Owner Claims Special Right to Discriminate
Barronelle Stutzman, owner of Arlene's Flowers in Richland, Washington (website, website 2, Facebook), may face two separate lawsuits for refusing to sell Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed floral arrangements for their wedding because of their sexual orientation. Stutzman told the pair, who'd been customers of hers for the entirety of their nine-year relationship, that she would not transact wedding-related business with them "because of [her] relationship with Jesus."
She explained to Dominic Holden of Seattle's Stranger:
I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. If they choose to get married, that's fine, if that is what they believe. I just choose not to be a participant in the wedding.
Freed pointed out that he and Ingersoll weren't asking Stutzman to walk them down the aisle — or participate in their wedding in any way, for that matter — just to sell them flowers. They were hurt and angry by her refusal and realized they had to speak out. As Freed explained, "We are not wanting to cause some fight or create a national debate about this, but it was wrong what happened to us."
Indeed, Washington State passed an antidiscrimination law in 2006 that prohibits discrimination in the public square on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The office of Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson told Holden that if florists choose to sell wedding flowers to the public, they have to serve all couples, not discriminate against couples they don't like.
On Tuesday, the Attorney General filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Stutzman on behalf of the State of Washington, alleging that she violated the state's nondiscrimination law by refusing to serve Ingersoll and Freed. Yesterday, working with the ACLU of Washington, the couple sent Stutzman a letter telling her:
[Stutzman] has two options: (1) She can vow to never again discriminate in her services for gay people, write an apology letter to be published in the Tri-City Herald, and contribute $5,000 to a local LGBT youth center, or (2) she can get sued for violating the Washington State Civil Rights Act.
Basically, Stutzman has to choose between making amends and following the law or getting sued. But if her lawyers' response to the attorney general's lawsuit is any indication, she's not likely to back down. Holden reports that Stutzman's lawyers "want to make this a major test of moral conscience legal defenses" by arguing that arranging flowers is an act of "personal expression," and any attempt by the government to interfere with said expression is a violation of Stutzman's free speech rights.
The couple's attorneys anticipated this argument, writing in a letter to Stutzman:
We respect your beliefs and your right to religious freedom. However, we live in a diverse country, and religious beliefs, no matter how sincerely held, may not be used to justify discrimination in the public spheres of commerce and governance. Instances of institutions and individuals claiming a right to discriminate in the name of religion are not new. Religious beliefs have been invoked to justify denying women the right to vote; to prohibit men and women of different races from getting married; and to support segregation in schools, businesses, and other public places. Just as courts have held that those forms of discrimination are not permitted, even on the basis of sincerely held religious beliefs, so is discrimination based on sexual orientation unlawful.
Stutzman has until next Wednesday, April 17, to inform the couple's counsel whether or not she will agree to their terms. But as Holden points out, it looks as though she'll choose the path of phony martyrdom and become the next "religious liberty" poster child for the Christian Right instead. (I can see the alarmist email subject lines now!)
This situation reminds me of one that happened recently right here in Vermont, where two Catholic innkeepers refused to host a lesbian couple's wedding reception, citing their anti-gay religious beliefs. The lesbian couple and the ACLU sued under Vermont's Fair Housing and Public Accommodations Act and reached an out-of-court settlement with the innkeepers, who continue to falsely claim they were targeted because of their opposition to marriage equality.
Similar incidents of anti-gay privilege tantrums have occurred in New York, Massachusetts, and the UK, and my prediction is that we'll see more and more of these as marriage equality continues to advance and same-sex marriage opponents find themselves increasingly relegated to the extreme fringes of society.
Of course, the claim that a person's religious beliefs entitle them to pick and choose which members of the public to serve or which laws to obey is patently absurd. After all, one's religious freedom does not come at the expense of everyone else's liberty, nor do an individual's religious choices magically grant them a special right to discriminate. But it looks like that's an argument that the Christianists intend to make for a very long time.
That's all right, though. We're not going anywhere. And we'll keep the lawsuits coming until anti-gay business owners understand that they have to treat LGBT people and their families exactly the same as they would anyone else.

I knew there was a good reason for being a hermit.
Sunday, May 06, 2007
So, I was roped into going out for dinner last night with a good friend and a friend I haven't seen in AGES. We ended up going to Hooters. I figured I'd get a salad or something, which I did, but I also ended up eating two chicken wings, having a big ole glass of beer and eating some shrimp. Not terrible, but that isn't that start of my day of bad eating.
Hubby wanted Corner Bakery for breakfast, so I had got scrambler which was really good. I think it had about 450 calories or so. Then we had another party to go to, so once again, not many food choices. I had some chicken parmesan and a small helping of some fettucine alfredo and green beans. Mmmm.. it was so good. I don't even want to know what I consumed yesterday in calories because it will only make me depressed. I actually stepped on the scale this morning to an extra pound staring back at me. Not a happy camper.
I guess we're all allowed a free day, right? I can't help but feel like I sabotaged myself yesterday even though I know I'll be right back on track today. I worked out extra hard yesterday, burned almost 700 calories, so I dunno, that should help curb some of the shit I put in my body I'm hoping. Sigh.
I'm going to head off to the gym in a bit and go light on the food intake today. I'll probably do the elliptical for a 1/2 hour and then the weight machines for a 1/2 hour. I want to take a walk around the neighborhood too.. our community is having a neighborhood block sale, so that may be fun to go and browse. Plus, we have mondo grocery shopping and cleaning to do. Anything to keep my ass of the couch = good thing.
I decided that I AM joining Tae Kwon Do again. I called a place down the street from my house and I have my first lesson / free trial lesson on Tuesday at 7:30. I'm a little nervous because I am definitely NOWHERE in the shape I was 10 years ago when I took lessons. The master asked what belt I was at, I told him Green, and he was impressed and said if I remember enough, I may be able to start back at that belt. That'd be cool, I def remember most of my stuff (even all of my Korean greetings and salutations, plus how to count). The only thing I've forgotten was the forms. We'll see. All I know is that statistics show you burn anywhere from 700-900 calories in an hour class. I was in the best shape of my life when I took lessons back in the day. Plus I could kick some ass! I miss those days!
Well, I best get ready. I'd like to get to the gym by 9 or so. More later.

College Hockey:Krushelnyski the overtime hero as Colorado College spoils Wisconsin's rink dedication to 'Badger Bob'
MADISON, Wis. — By his own admission, Colorado College coach Scott Owens has been around too long to quantify the importance of one win or loss over a marathon season, especially considering his team is barely four weeks into its season.
But maybe, just maybe, this is one that could mean a little something more.
"I was happy with the way we responded," said Owens, who watched his team erase a pair of Wisconsin leads to earn a 5-4 overtime victory over Wisconsin at the Kohl Center Friday. "I really was. We didn't get very frustrated at all and hung in there. It was a good reward for our guys."
Mired in a three-game losing streak after reeling off three victories to open the campaign, Colorado College (4-3-0, 1-0-0 WCHA) knew it had the right ingredients to make one final run at the WCHA's MacNaughton Cup before heading to the soon-to-be-formed National Collegiate Hockey Conference next season.
So getting flustered or frustrated 20 minutes into its initial conference game was not the ideal time to start reinventing the wheel, so to speak.
"It was learning how to battle through adversity," said CC junior winger Alexander Krushelnyski, who one-timed the winner following a Charlie Taft pass from behind the net 25 seconds into the extra session. "Last week, we had a couple tough losses [at Cornell)] and the consensus among the team was it was going to happen this weekend."
With the team motto in hand, the Tigers learned the power of persistence. Letting Wisconsin (1-3-1, 1-1-1 WCHA) score two goals in the opening period, one of which was created by assistant captain Rylan Schwartz knocking the puck into the left corner of the net, Colorado College answered with a pair of timely snipes in the second.
Outshooting Wisconsin 17-7 in the middle period, the Tigers tied the score with freshman Hunter Fejes' first collegiate goal (a rifle from the slot that beat Joel Rumpel at the right post) and senior defenseman Mike Boivin's power-play slap shot from the left circle within a two-minute span.
After Wisconsin defenseman Jake McCabe scored 54 seconds into the third period, seniors Scott Winkler and William Rapuzzi netted tallies against Rumpel, who made 34 saves but gave up some goals Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves said "he would like to have some of those back."
With 17 different players having collected at least one point through the team's first six games, the trend continued as all five Tigers' goals came from different sources and 11 different players recorded a point.
"It's one of our biggest [strengths] and one of our only," said Owens, referring to his club's early-season scoring balance. "Our secondary scoring and our diversity in scoring has been really good."
Scoring isn't the issue for Wisconsin – which returns 15 of their top 16 scorers from a season ago – as much as it finding a complete performance. In addition to scoring the game's first two goals and taking its early third-period lead, Wisconsin appeared poised to steal a point after junior Keegan Meuer knocked in his own rebound at 15:42 in the third.
"[After the goal], I thought we had a stranglehold on it," said Meuer. "I thought we were going to win. We had all the momentum."
Whatever momentum it possessed, however, was quickly erased off Rumpel's overtime turnover, as all of its missed opportunities and bad gaps dropped Wisconsin to 5-5-1 in home openers under Eaves.
"We can't seem to put a whole 60 minutes game together thus far," said McCabe.
Before the opening faceoff, Wisconsin kicked off its 50th season in the modern era by dedicating the ice sheet to former head coach Bob Johnson, naming it Bob Johnson Rink.
Johnson, who coached three seasons at Colorado College before coming to Madison, won 367 games and led UW to three NCAA titles from 1966 to 1982. He took two NHL teams — Calgary in 1986 and Pittsburgh in 1991 — to the Stanley Cup finals before passing away in 1991 from brain cancer at age 60.
"I was happy that CC was going to be here," said Owens.
The only coach to win an NCAA and NHL championship, Johnson has had three former players – Eaves, Mark Johnson and Denver coach George Gwozdecky – all win national championships, another nod to his ability as a teacher.
"Fans will be able to look down, see my dad's name and remember his legacy," said Johnson's son, Mark, who won a national title under his dad in 1981. "His legacy will live on."

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has said Zimbabwe's struggling economy is now on a rebound adding his government has put in place several measures to ensure a sustained recovery.
"Let me assure our people that the country's economy is on recovery path. Government is going to employ several measures aimed at achieving desired results," Mugabe said Sunday while officiating at a prize giving ceremony for the presidential shooting competition.
He said the government had introduced the Integrated Result Based Management (IRBM) system which will force state enterprises to come up with strategic action plans for economic turnaround.
"IRBM is a strategic management tool aimed at effectively eradicating mal-performance. It focuses on enhancing commitment and duty consciousness in all government work forces.
"The implementation of IRBM should effectively bring about the desired success of our economic turnaround."
Since the July 31, 2013 elections were held, the economy has been tumbling with more companies folding in the face of a biting liquidity crunch.
As usual, Mugabe commended the country's security forces for standing firm with his government and for excelling on international duties.
"Evidently the deployments are an eloquent testimony of the growing demand for our quality services by the UN, AU and the SADC.
"This rainy season, during the Tokwe-Mukosi disaster, they (security services) effectively conducted search, rescue and evacuation operations to the marooned villagers.
"Our security forces also showed equal commitment to duty during the Tsholotsho floods disaster."
Some 528 competitors, 145 of them female, took part in this year's edition of the President's Medal Shoot competition.

Brideshead Revisited
by Evelyn Waugh
Analysis: Booker's Seven Basic Plots Analysis
Christopher Booker is a scholar who wrote that every story falls into one of seven basic plot structures: Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, the Quest, Voyage and Return, Comedy, Tragedy, and Rebirth. Shmoop explores which of these structures fits this story like Cinderella's slipper.
Plot Type : Voyage and Return
Anticipation Stage and 'Fall' into the Other World
Charles seeks a "low door in the wall" as an entrance to an "enchanted garden." Then he meets Sebastian.
The 'other world' here is a metaphorical one, and consists largely of Sebastian's appreciation for beauty. It all begins with the trip to the botanical gardens. Of course, Brideshead Castle plays a large role in constituting this 'other world' as well.
Initial Fascination or Dream Stage
Charles is captivated by Sebastian, his eccentricities, and the world he lives in, particularly Brideshead.
As a burgeoning artist, it makes sense that Charles would be so taken in by the splendor of Brideshead Castle. He spends pages describing its design, architecture, and furnishings.
Frustration Stage
Lady Marchmain's machinations, Sebastian's drinking, Samgrass's general existence
The perfect world starts to crumble when Charles realizes the extent to which religion and family torment Sebastian. He chooses to side with his friend, which means making a temporary enemy of Lady Marchmain. Samgrass frustrates matters further, especially since he imposes restrictions for the boys even at Oxford.
Nightmare Stage
Charles is carrying on an affair with Julia and may be cheating Bridey out of his rightful inheritance.
Charles has become a part of the world of Brideshead Castle, but it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. He senses a darker side to himself correlating to what he discovered as the darker element of this 'other world.'
Thrilling Escape and Return
After Julia breaks up with Charles, he converts to Catholicism and joins the army.
Charles 'escapes' the world of Brideshead and returns to reality, leaving the Flyte family behind him completely. The interpretation of this conclusion as an 'escape' is certainly subject to debate, since he was really more evicted than anything else. It's also subject to debate whether or not leaving was a positive thing for Charles, or an unhappy bit of tragedy.

Formal or Reportage?
Reportage - or 'fly-on-the-wall' - is a natural and more interesting option for wedding photography than traditional posed, formal shots.
Most couples, however, will require some group shots of family members and the wedding party, as well as some formal portraits.
Ideally, the photographer should be able to do both formal posed shots and informal reportage. The couple can then agree on a mixed style to ensure they get all the pictures they need.
Colour or Black and White?
It should be decided whether images will be black and white or colour images, or a selection of both. The light source in the venues may dictate this as black and white often suits less well-lit environments. It is, however, often the most flattering for wedding photos.
Most couples choose to have a mix of both colour and black and white.

Once again, racist words hit the media. However, this time; Paula Deen is not the one trouble. It is Justin Bieber. The British tabloid, The Sun, posted the offending video on June 1, 2014.
TMZ reports that Justin told a racist joke to his friends at the age of 15. He knew that he was being filmed at the time for his 2011 concert documentary "Never Say Never," but he did it anyway. When Justin started telling the joke, ""Why are black people afraid of chain saws?" one of his friends warned him not to go there.
However, Justin didn't listen as he had to tell the punch line of, "Run N****r" which he repeated at least five times. Perhaps he wanted to make sure everyone heard in case they missed it the first four times. Laughter fills him after he said it.
The Sun reports that he launched a bid to keep the video hidden, but failed.
TMZ also reports that they had the video clip for four years, but they decided not to publish it or write about it on their site. They allege that they kept it silent because Justin was only 15 at the time. They state that he apologized to his friends afterwards although the clip they have published on the site does not show that part.
Sources tell TMZ that Justin is "frustrated and sad" and that he wants to issue an apology.
What are your thoughts on this matter? Can Justin be excused from the consequences because of his age even when he was told not to tell the joke? Paula Deen wasn't excused for saying the word when she was held up at gunpoint many years ago. Write your comments below.

|My Mantorii Shoe - an Oxford Cap Toe (also featured on Mantorii's website!)
Let me introduce Mantorii Custom Footwear. Mantorii is the brainchild of Aron, a sartorially inclined Hungarian Stanford graduate, who spent years working for a big multinational before founding his own company in Asia, doing sourcing, consulting and factory audits. Aron has always had a deep love for shoes and had been sending around shoes from his favourite shoemaker in Vietnam to friends around the world for quite a while. Not long ago he decided to use his previous work experience and take the business online: Mantorii Custom Footwear is the result.
I was wondering when the first company would introduce custom shoes online. Indochino started with suits, it was only a matter of time for someone to do shoes as well. I actually expect Indochino to enter the market very soon and there are probably more too follow.
Aron was so kind to offer me a pair of shoes for a review, it was an opportunity I could not resist. I've been lusting for a pair of custom shoes for a while. Not because I have unusual feet, but because I like the idea of having made something just for me. Not something that 1000 of others have as well. Also, I just like the whole online custom idea. It kind of brings back former times, when all garments were handmade for the customer. So far, I was only stopped by the price point, but Mantorii is actually affordable. Their shoes start at $299 including free worldwide shipping, you can get free remakes and full refunds (and for readers of my blog, it will get even better - more about that later).
How does Mantorii work?
You can then choose several options. For now, you can choose between Oxford, Monk or Derby shoes. According to Aron, the choice will be expanded in the near future. I personally would hope for boots, would be great for the winter.
|Mantorii Shoe Choices - pic from mantorii.tumblr.com
Another great thing is that they are really open for custom requests. As they are working with a team of very experienced shoemakers, there is hardly anything they cannot do. According to Aron, as they are still a small company, they can work with each customer individually if needed. They only thing they won't do are square toes - I can support that decision.
I received my shoe a while ago and have it in heavy rotation at the moment. I will publish the actual review early next week, let me just say that I was not disappointed. Quite the contrary.
Update: Something I almost forgot. Their turnaround time is pretty quick for a custom shoe - it will get delivered to your doorstep within 4 weeks.
But wait, there is more:
I didn't just want to get a free pair of shoes and write about it on the blog. I managed to convince Aron that readers of this blog expect something special. He agreed to do a special promo and give out 5 coupons worth $100 each. This means a custom shoe will actually only cost you $199, awesome deal. All you need to do is comment here on the blog and become a fan of Mantorii on Facebook or Twitter. Aron will be monitoring the comments and give out the coupons. For any questions, you can just email them directly at email@example.com or ask in the comments here.
Update: The offer has been extended to all commenters on this thread! Read the comment from Mantorii in the comment section. All you need to do is write them an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and they will hook you up with a coupon code.
Last Update: All coupons have now been given away.
