It's Thursday and that means the Willow Oak market will be open today from 3 until 6! I'm going to quote a portion of the information that I received from Tom Malone of Emnett Acres because he knows that location much better than I do. :)
This info is for the Willow Oak location only and it will give you an idea about what will be available today and on Saturday.

John Sherks's son, John Jr. will have a good selection of tomatoes, squash, sweet corn, etc.
Caludi's will have their always good selection of berries and home made preserves.

Kathy Claibourne has flowers, zennias, to supplement her table of veggies
The Stivers brothers should have honey at their stand, as well as other items.
Jones farm can be counted on to provide a good quantity of sweet corn.
We will be marketing on Thurday, from 3 to 6 and Saturday from 9 to 2."
I would like to add that I have been told that The Lemonaid Days stand will be returning to the Willow Oak location this Saturday. Stop by and refresh yourself with a glass of lemonade for a good cause!
Now, on to the Richmond Rd. location...
Kirby at Overman's BG Fruits & Vegetables will be bringing spaghetti squash, half runner beans, yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers and more.
Ronnie Claiborne at Valley Oak Farm will be loaded with tomatoes, corn, blackberries, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, peppers, cantaloupes, green beans and much more.

Billie and Walt from the Tomato Patch are sure to have a great selection of heirloom tomatoes.
Jane of the Jane's Garden, Flowers & Herb fame can be counted on to bring her wonderful, colorful flowers, freshly dug potatoes, four varieties of basil and maybe even some eggplant.
Look right next to Jane and you'll find Larry with his organically grown shallots, garlic, onions and hot peppers.

Josh, with Jones Produce will be bringing his Somerset grown corn, cantaloupes, potatoes, green beans, onions, green and ripe tomatoes, etc.
Good news, a little bird told me that Bill & Sue with Green Garden on Colby may be making their first appearance at the market this Saturday!
Bad news, Keith Green at Honey Dew Apiary called to say that he will not be at the market on Saturday...he's been asked to judge honey at the fair! Vicki with Botanica will not be at the market for at least the next 4 weeks...she is having some knee surgery and we wish her a speedy recovery.
Possible good news...Maybe the folks from Polsgrove Farm might be at the market. We want to congratulate the new grandparents!

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Listen, isles, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name: | 1 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name. |
2 and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close: | 2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver. |
3 and he said to me, You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified. | 3 He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor." |
4 But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice [due] to me is with Yahweh, and my recompense with my God. | 4 But I said, "I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing. Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand, and my reward is with my God." |
5 Now says Yahweh who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God is become my strength); | 5 And now the LORD says-- he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength-- |
6 yes, he says, It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth. | 6 he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth." |
7 Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Yahweh who is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you. | 7 This is what the LORD says-- the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel-- to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: "Kings will see you and rise up, princes will see and bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you." |
8 Thus says Yahweh, In an acceptable time have I answered you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage: | 8 This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, |
9 saying to those who are bound, Go forth; to those who are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture. | 9 to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!' "They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill. |
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water will he guide them. | 10 They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water. |
11 I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. | 11 I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up. |
12 Behold, these shall come from far; and, behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. | 12 See, they will come from afar-- some from the north, some from the west, some from the region of Aswan. " |
13 Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted. | 13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. |
14 But Zion said, Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me. | 14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." |
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you. | 15 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! |
16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me. | 16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. |
17 Your children make haste; your destroyers and those who made you waste shall go forth from you. | 17 Your sons hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you. |
18 Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says Yahweh, you shall surely clothe you with them all as with an ornament, and gird yourself with them, like a bride. | 18 Lift up your eyes and look around; all your sons gather and come to you. As surely as I live," declares the LORD, "you will wear them all as ornaments; you will put them on, like a bride. |
19 For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now shall you be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away. | 19 "Though you were ruined and made desolate and your land laid waste, now you will be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away. |
20 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell. | 20 The children born during your bereavement will yet say in your hearing, 'This place is too small for us; give us more space to live in.' |
21 Then shall you say in your heart, Who has conceived these for me, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they? | 21 Then you will say in your heart, 'Who bore me these? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. Who brought these up? I was left all alone, but these--where have they come from?' " |
22 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders. | 22 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I will beckon to the Gentiles, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders. |
23 Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be put to shame. | 23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in me will not be disappointed." |
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered? | 24 Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives rescued from the fierce ? |
25 But thus says Yahweh, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children. | 25 But this is what the LORD says: "Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save. |
26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. | 26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob." |

Lane United's struggles on the road continue as they travel to Canada to compete against the Vancouver Whitecaps — a Major League Soccer-affiliate club. Like many teams within the Premier Development League, prospective professional players and collegiate standouts make up the Whitecaps' roster.
The added hours on the road add to the difficulty of the contest. And with playoff contention off the table, Lane United is playing for pride — and the opportunity to represent the Willamette Valley in an across-the-border contest.
With the season winding down, chances for first-team competition are few and far between for fringe players. But with the team struggling to find the back of the net, no player's position is absolute. And more playing team invariably leads to more opportunities to advance to the next level of competition.
The First Touch documentary series follows Lane United Football Club, a first-year Premier Development League soccer program based in Oregon's Willamette Valley. It's produced by Anthem, a multi-platform media production company.

Maronite Church
Maronite Church
Eastern-rite community centered in Lebanon (see Eastern Rite Church). It traces its origin to St. Maron, a Syrian hermit of the 4th–5th century AD, and St. John Maron, under whom the invading Byzantine forces were defeated in 684. For several centuries the Maronites were considered heretics, followers of Sergius, patriarch of Constantinople, who taught that Jesus had only a divine will and not a human will. No permanent affiliation with Rome took place until the 16th century. A hardy mountain people, the Maronites preserved their freedom in Lebanon during the Muslim caliphate. In 1860 the Ottoman government incited a massacre of the Maronites by the Druze, an event that led to the establishment of Maronite autonomy within the Ottoman empire. The Maronites obtained self-rule under French protection in the early 20th century. Since the establishment of a fully independent Lebanon in 1943, they have constituted a major religious group in the country. Their spiritual leader (after the pope) is the patriarch of Antioch, and the church retains the ancient West Syrian liturgy.

"It is better to be too skeptical then too credulous" Carl Sagan
heck I'm a young feller compared to some of you guys, and that's how it was at my school. I'm talking post columbine too.
My friends and I used to ride out to some of the local farms with shotguns across the handlebars of our bicycles to go bird hunting. We rode out to the local desert the same way to target practice or shoot some ground squirrels. Now a kid on a bicycle with a shotgun would probably be met with a SWAT team or at least a couple of black and whites. There weren't so many anti-gunners back then. While we are on this subject I thought I would share one of my observations. More and more I have noticed more and more women buying handguns and asking about CCW training. Just about every time I go to Cabelas or Sportsmans Warehouse I see at least one woman looking at handguns, usually the 9mms, .380s or .38 spc revolvers. I think more and more women are arming themselves because they believe they don't have to be victimized just because they are female. This is a very valid belief. Another observation I have made is that every female I know who shoots is pretty good at it. They all handle their handguns pretty well.
You should see my mom shoot. She can outshoot me and my stepdad with all of us using our own guns. But I can outshoot her if we both use her gun. Strange. But I haven't met the man yet who can hold a candle to her using a bow.
Well at lest we that live in Wis. now have the means to defend ourself against the thugs now since we now have CCW and the CASEL LAW it should make the hoods on the North side think twice before "messing" with any south siders.!

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
23 You did not bring me your burnt offerings of sheep; you did not honor me with your sacrifices. I did not burden you by demanding offerings or wear you out by asking for incense. | 23 You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings nor wearied you with demands for incense. |

First, there's a lot of terrible stuff going on around the world as far as natural disasters. There's floods and mudslides and all sorts of horrible things. I have heard from a few readers that Australia, Queensland specifically, faces a horrible cleanup after torrential rains caused widespread flooding. Local papers are reporting that donations have dried up (I presume the pun is intended there), and residents are finally able to go try to salvage their homes and businesses. The Romance Writers of Australia are hosting a book drive to help replenish libraries, schools and community center book collections – as usual, romance community steps up.
Wherever you are, I hope you're safe, your family is safe, and you're reading a good book that's not flood damaged or mud-splattered.
(And yes, the image is a bit of a nonsequitur, but I found it while searching for images of Australia, and had to link – it looks adorable and I totally ordered it.)
Rather than making things clearer, e-readers and computers prevent us from absorbing information because their crisp screens and fonts tell our subconscious that the words they convey are not important, it is claimed.
In contrast, handwriting and fonts that are more challenging to read signal to the brain that the content of the message is important and worth remembering, experts say….
Researchers [at Princeton University] asked 28 participants aged 18 to 40 to learn a set of facts about three fictional species of alien, which were written in different fonts.
Those who read the facts in the easy-to-read Arial pure black font retained 14 per cent less information than those who were given text written in the less clear Comic Sans MS and Bodoni MT.
No word on whether ebooks will now be issued in Comic Sans (please, no).
I find this curious because I wonder how much of it depends on how an individual learns, and how that individual prefers to learn and imprint information. For example, in order to study, I used to have to write down the pertinent facts I needed for a test and learned best by both writing down and reading in my own writing the text I needed. Part of it was reading it in my own writing and part of it was the process of writing it down. I am going to have to think about whether I recall better things I've read on paper vs. e-ink, or if they're equal in measure compared to things I've written myself. (No comments on the relative egotism of my learning method. I'm well aware!)
The lovely folks at Jezebel (hi ladies!) AND Photoshop Disasters are taking a critical look at the cover for Nora Roberts' Happy Ever After, wondering what's up with the bride's hand. Now, I think that which they are alleging is a thumb upside down is an awkwardly-braced pinky finger, but the commenter at Jezebel who points out the extremely false-smooth skin tones and the drop-shadow on the bouquet (which doesn't cast a shadow on the bride's arm at ALL) may be on to something there. What do you think? Photoshoppery? Dost thou give a hoot? (Thanks to Erin for the link).
And finally, over at Yon Kirkus Reviews, I'm examining what makes a hero alpha, and what qualities create an alpha male hero. It's a perennial question in romance discussions, particularly as the definition of alpha changes slightly.
It used to be that romance was populated with alphas who were really assholes—autocratic chest-pounders with a tendency toward rape or at the least forced seduction. Alphole heroes still show up every now and again, usually as someone who is too assertive without any humility or honor—they're not really dominant. They're really just assholes. Alphole heroes are among my least favorite.
But now, readers are more likely to read about Alpha males with strong moral integrity, a hidden tenderness or the ability to be lethal while consistently choosing not to be—those make for some delicious heroes. Alpha heroes could be anything. They could be the alpha of a wolf pack, a literal alpha. They could be commanders or military officers or police chiefs. They could be lords or, depending on the mythology or theology of the romance in question, The Lord. (Heh—God, the Ultimate Alpha Male, particularly in the Old Testament.)
So, which alpha males rock your world, and why? What are the characteristics of an alpha male hero that you most enjoy?

Hunters Creek median real estate price is $292,416, which is more expensive than 82.6% of the neighborhoods in Florida and 75.2% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Hunters Creek is currently $1,657, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. The average rental cost in this neighborhood is higher than 87.1% of the neighborhoods in Florida.
Hunters Creek is a suburban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Orlando, Florida.
Hunters Creek real estate is primarily made up of medium sized (three or four bedroom) to large (four, five or more bedroom) single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the Hunters Creek neighborhood are established but not old, having been built between 1970 and 1999. A number of residences were also built between 2000 and the present.
Vacant apartments or homes are a major fact of life in Hunters Creek. The current real estate vacancy rate here is 18.5%. This is higher than the rate of vacancies in 82.0% of all U.S. neighborhoods. This can sometimes be the case in neighborhoods dominated by seasonal homes (such as vacation areas), and occasionally it is also found in neighborhoods that are primarily filled with college students, as some apartments could be vacant when school is not in session. But often neighborhoods with vacancy rates this high are places that can be plagued by a protracted vacancy problem. If you live here, you may find that a number of buildings in your neighborhood are actually empty.

A rendition of the nation of Latveria (in green) and its capital Doomstadt. Symkaria borders along the south.

Latveria is a fictional nation in the Marvel Comics Universe. It is depicted within the storylines of Marvel's comic titles as an isolated European country ruled by the fictional supervillain Doctor Doom, supposedly located in the Banat region. It is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, and also borders Symkaria (home of Silver Sable) to the south. Its capital is Doomstadt.
Publication history[edit]
Latveria first appeared in Fantastic Four Annual #2, published in 1964. Victor von Doom is the ruler of Latveria. Though he has been dethroned a number of times, Victor has inevitably managed to return to the throne of his country within a matter of months.
Victor also has a council who obey him entirely. In Fantastic Four #536 in 2006, he killed his own Prime Minister for claiming control of Latveria in his absence, and threatened to kill two other ministers if they failed to find the landing spot of Thor's hammer.
Doctor Doom's style of rule can best be described as an absolute monarchy, as it was revealed that there is no legislature, and one minister boasted "Doctor Doom decides everything. His slightest whim is Latverian law!" It is shown Doom has devices throughout the Kingdom to watch his people and even has hidden weapons to prevent them leaving without his consent. In one story he is able to activate a force field around Latveria which prevents anybody leaving, though apparently it can be a defense against nuclear attack. (Avengers vol 1 #21)
Latveria was formed out of land annexed from southern Hungary centuries before, and possibly land from Serbia as well[1] as Romania.[2]
Latveria under the Fantastic Four[edit]
Due to Doom's constant activities that drive him away from Latveria, the monarch is often absent. After Doom's descent into Hell, the nation became a target for conquest by the neighboring countries. This forces Reed Richards to seize control of the country, attempting to pry the populace out from under the thumb of Doom, while at the same time disarming all of Doom's weaponry and technology, so if he ever returned, he would come back to absolutely nothing. In the process, Richards relocated Doom from Hell into a pocket dimension of his own design, and although Doom used his consciousness-switching abilities to escape, the death of his host body seemingly caused him to die as well, and the Fantastic Four pulled out of the country.
However Doom survives this and rules Latveria for a time with a 'puppet' Prime Minister and robotic enforcers.
Series of takeovers[edit]
After the Fantastic Four left, the United States attempted to fill the void left by Doom by establishing a democracy for the nation. The Countess Lucia von Bardas was elected as Prime Minister. However, when it was revealed that von Bardas was employing the Tinkerer to use Doom's technology to arm various tech-based villains in the United States, S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander Nick Fury took action.
During Secret War, Fury and a number of superheroes invaded Latveria without permission of the US Government and attempted to assassinate von Bardas. While von Bardas survived, she was horribly disfigured and sought to destroy Fury and the heroes responsible. She was killed by S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Daisy Johnson while trying to blow up New York with the armor of the various villains she employed.
Country-wide disasters[edit]
Much of Latveria was destroyed and the population severely reduced by an attack executed by the Marquis of Death (aka "Dooms Master").
S.H.I.E.L.D., under the leadership of Iron Man and his team of U.S. sanctioned Avengers invaded Latveria after discovering Doom's involvement in the release of a symbiote virus on New York. The country was yet again devastated and Doom was taken into custody for crimes against humanity.[3]
Doom is released from prison due to the influence of H.A.M.M.E.R director Norman Osborn. He restores his nation with the use of his time travel technology.[4]
Avengers Vs. X-Men[edit]
During the Avengers vs. X-Men storyline, Spider-Man fights against a Juggernaut-empowered Colossus here.[5]
The common geographic description of Latveria places it as a small nation, around the area where Hungary, Romania and Serbia (Vojvodina) meet in real life. To its south in the Marvel universe is the nation of Symkaria, which is depicted as a benevolent constitutional monarchy in contrast to the dictatorship to its north. The capital city of Latveria is Doomstadt, formerly Hassenstadt, renamed when Doom seized power, located just north of the Kline River. The administrative center is Castle Doom.
- Population: 500,000 (This is an approximation since the government of Latveria has not allowed an outside census in over 20 years)
- Type of Government: Dictatorship (Victor von Doom prefers to call this an "enforced monarchy")
- Languages: German, Hungarian, English, Latverian (local dialect, derivative of Hungarian), Romany.[citation needed]
- Ethnic Groups: Mixed European stock, Roma, Greek.
- Major Business Centers: None
- Currency: Latverian Franc
- Public Holidays: Doom's Day, Christmas, New Year (Note: Doom's Day is an eclectic holiday, celebrated whenever Doom declares it. It is different from Doomsday)
- Airports: The only airport for the country, Doomsport, lies on the southern outskirts of Doomstadt. It maintains two runways and a modern terminal, but flights into and out of Doomsport are quite limited.

The population consists of mixed European stock and Romani people, in whose welfare von Doom takes a particular interest.
Law enforcement[edit]
Because it lacks a native superhero populace, Latveria relies largely on Dooms' robot sentinels called Doombots to keep law and order. One of the few known Latverian superhumans is Dreadknight, whom Doom himself created by punishing Dreadknight's alter ego for hoarding an idea from him. Dreadknight has since tried to get revenge on Doctor Doom only to be thwarted by various superheroes.

Other versions[edit]
Marvel 1602[edit]
In the Marvel 1602 storyline, Latveria is ruled by Count Otto von Doom, also known as Otto the Handsome. It is inhabited by mythical beings, and Latveria experiments on intricate clockwork devices, one of which was used to kill Queen Elizabeth I of England. The native language appears to bear a close resemblance to modern German.
Marvel 2099[edit]
In the alternate future called "Marvel 2099", various power struggles over the fate of Latveria end with most of the country destroyed by nanites.
Marvel Zombies[edit]
In the Marvel Zombies storyline, Latveria is one of the last few outposts of humanity, as Doctor Doom gathers up the fittest and most fertile of the Latverian survivors in order to send them off to other dimensions. An army of super-zombies lay siege to Doom's castle and eventually break inside. Despite this and Doom himself being bitten, all the Latverian citizens successfully escape.
Ultimate Marvel[edit]
Latveria was introduced as a bankrupt peasant nation, but thanks to Doctor Doom it was made the ninth richest country on Earth. The townsfolk wear Doom's dragon tattoos as backup, the tattoos being far more than they seem, should anything ever happen to him. Where this Latveria lies is unclear but there are Belgian Flags on display in the background in the one picture displayed of Latveria.
In Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Latveria was presented as an impoverished dictatorial theocracy, under "his holiness" President Victor von Doom (wearing his traditional Marvel armour and cloak). They attempted, in collusion with the United States via Nick Fury, to steal the Iron Man technology from Tony Stark; this fails, partly due to the intervention of Spider-Man. At some point, however, Doom declared a holy war on the United States, creating tensions between two countries.[6][7] This would be ignored and retconned away in later Ultimate Marvel titles.
In other media[edit]
- Latveria appears in the 1994 Fantastic Four TV series.
- Latveria appears in The Super Hero Squad Show episode "Pedicure of Doom." Doctor Doom, MODOK, and Abomination fall back to Castle Doom only to find that Doctor Doom's mother Cynthia "Coco" Von Doom had converted it into a spa with Chthon's help.
- Latveria is mentioned in the Iron Man: Armored Adventures episode "The Might of Doom."
- Latveria appears in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes episode "The Private War of Doctor Doom."
- Latveria appears in the Ultimate Spider-Man episode "Doomed."

The Latverian Embassy appears in the episode "Not a Toy" when Captain America's shield ends up in the Latverian Embassy and that Spider-Man must work with Captain America to get it back before Doctor Doom can experiment with it.
- In the Fantastic Four film, Latveria is mentioned initially in reference to Victor Von Doom's past and is described as "the old country", possibly indicating his birth there. After "The End" has appeared, Von Doom's incarcerated body is shown on board a ship bound for Latveria. Also during the scene where he first dons his trademark metal mask, a plaque can be seen declaring it as a gift to Doom from the people of Latveria.
- In the sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Doom is reawakened in his castle by the Silver Surfer's passage through Latveria. The capital's name has been changed from "Doomstadt" to "Hattenstadt".
Video games[edit]
- In the 1980s computer game Accolade's Comics the protagonist Steve Keene is offered tickets to the Latverian Ballet.
- In Spider-Man: The Game, a billboard can be seen in the first level advertising tourism in Latvania, a misspelling of Latveria.

- In the Ultimate Spider-Man video game, the Beetle was reported to have ducked into the Latverian Embassy after evading Spider-Man. In the special edition of the game, the player can look at concept art that shows what happens to Beetle after his confrontation with Spider-Man. He flies into the embassy and walks up to a throne, kneels down, and presents the Sandman vial to Doctor Doom in some plot to develop super-soldiers for Latveria. Later on in the game, the Green Goblin is later seen escaping from the Latverian Embassy.
- In Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Castle Doom in Latveria is a level. If the player asks about Latveria to Vision, he mentions that there is barely any crime there since Doctor Doom's robots are always patrolling the country.
- The Latverian Embassy is featured in The Incredible Hulk video game.
- Latveria is featured in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. The first part of the game is based on the Secret War storyline. Nick Fury leads the heroes to Latveria to deal with Lucia von Bardas after the President does not want to take action against her illegal activities.
- The Latverian Embassy is featured in Marvel: Avengers Alliance.
- In Lego Marvel Super Heroes, the level Doctor in the House takes place in Castle Doom in Latveria.

The postcards via snail-mail are really effective. For my current show (opening was this past Friday evening), I did the large over-size cards, the image of one painting on the front, and two small thumbnails on the back, with return address of the gallery, and info/dates, etc. about the show. I'm thinking quarterly is a good idea…and people do seem to hold on to these (pretty) postcards for a while! And…I did find that one of my sales came directly from the postcard, before she had even seen the work in person. (she just wanted to be texted a photo of the frame it was in….she loved it, bought it!). She was leaving on vacation & wouldn't make it to the opening, but didn't want to miss getting the painting she wanted!

I'm told the Schneider 90/5.6 APO is 'better' but I have no expereience with it and can't comment. In any case these lenses are much cheaper now then when they where new. I paid almost $1000 (new) for my APO-Rodagon-N about 12 years ago!
I'm guessing, but I think you should be able to get one for $2-400 now, but I've not really looked. Maybe $20 bucks at a flea market if you are lucky!
At F4
At F8
100% crop
Of course I've used it in the darkroom too. It is a fine lens but I found that I needed to stop it down to about F8 to get the best out of it. It may have been better at F11 but I rarely used it that way due to the long exposure times in my case.

Gear Review
two in the pink
Sure, this is a killer Spring shred day glove, but I also rock it as my glove of choice riding my two-wheeled hipster mobile. Great grip and dexterity, surprisingly warm (mid-40s is just right), and even more surprisingly durable. The longer they hold up, the more stoked I've gotten on these gloves.
But have fun explaining the brown finger.

Soul Survivors is a 2001 psychological thriller film starring Melissa Sagemiller as a college student named Cassie, whose boyfriend Sean (Casey Affleck) died in a car accident that resulted from her driving after a night of partying. The accident starts to take its toll when she begins hallucinating and regularly having strange visions even though Cassie's friends Annabel (Eliza Dushku) and Matt (Wes Bentley) try helping her through everything.
Cassie and Sean, as well as ex-boyfriend Matt and good friend Annabel, go to a club situated in an old church. There Cassie sees a man with a clear, plastic mask (Deathmask) and an imposing man with a scarred face (Hideous Dancer). Deathmask tries to grab her on the dance floor, but she pushes him away and steps outside the club with Sean.
In the parking lot, Matt eavesdrops on their conversation. Sean confesses his love for Cassie, who claims she feels the same way. When Sean returns to the club, Matt convinces Cassie to give him a last 'goodbye' kiss. Sean sees this, and reacts badly to it, giving Cassie the silent treatment as they drive off. Cassie, who is behind the wheel, continually looks away from the road until the car crashes. Cassie's next memory is of being rushed to the hospital; Matt and Annabel are unharmed, but Sean has been killed on impact.
During the school term that follows, Cassie has several visions of Sean. She also has visions of Deathmask and Hideous Dancer in the company of Matt and Annabel. On several occasions, she believes she is being chased by the two men, although Annabel and Matt assure her that the incidents are all in her mind. After one chase, Cassie faints and is rescued by Father Jude, a young priest who is sympathetic to her fears and offers to listen if she ever needs someone to talk to.
A few nights later, after being chased again, Cassie knocks at the church door, and Father Jude gives her sanctuary. He gives her an amulet depicting St Jude and allows her to sleep in his small room in the church. Upon awakening that morning, Cassie sees that the calendar in the room reads 1981. She enters the office of the attending priest and asks to speak to Father Jude but is told that Father Jude died in 1981.
After a swim competition in which she has been made to participate, Cassie is chased by Deathmask. Defending herself with the tube of a fluorescent lamp, she ends up stabbing him in the stomach but when Cassie returns with Matt, they find there is no body in the pool. Even though she believes that Matt and Annabel are conspiring against her with Deathmask and Hideous Dancer, Cassie requests that Matt take her home to her mother. Instead he drives Cassie to the club, saying that he wishes to pick up Annabel. Cassie follows him but gets lost, eventually finding Annabel with an androgynous creature called Raven with precognitive powers. When he tells her to leave —or die—Cassie makes her way back to the parking lot. There Matt drunkenly insists on another 'goodbye forever' kiss, but Cassie pushes him out of the car and drives away.
In a scene resembling the original accident, Cassie wrecks the car. She again comes to in the hospital. On a gurney next to her is Raven, who speaks a few words of comfort before dying. Father Jude arrives and asks if she would be willing to die in order to save Sean's life. She agrees and he then asks her if she would be willing to live for him. Cassie says that she doesn't want to die.
An episode follows in which Deathmask and Hideous Dancer strangle her with her protective medallion, from which Cassie wakes to find that everything she has experienced has been a sort of coma-dream: in the original accident, Cassie and Sean had survived, while Matt and Annabel were killed. The occupants of the other car — Raven, Deathmask, and Hideous Dancer — were also fatally injured. Cassie has spent the course of the film in a half-dead, half-living state, wherein those who were killed in the accident attempt to keep her with them. Father Jude, and Cassie's visions of Sean were what brought her back to life.

Awesome food! Lots of GF choices and the chef's understand the nuances of gluten. Small place with lots of charm, but the food is what calls you in.
2601 Minnesota Avenue #3, Billings, MT 59101
We loved this restaurant. There is not a separate GF menu, most items are available GF. I had the Mac and Cheese with mushrooms, bacon and Parmesan. Wonderful! My husband had the Burger and was a little disappointed in the size. One caution, if you are salt sensitive say so right up front, on a couple of items the salt was a little heavy handed. I would go back just to try the Meatloaf.

KBA Halves Loss with Spike in Press Orders
August 13, 2010Notwithstanding an increase in inventories of around €30 million, in preparation for higher shipments in the second half-year, the operative cash flow improved from -€41.3 million at the end of March to -€18.1 million at the end of June. In his letter to shareholders in the half-yearly report KBA president and CEO Helge Hansen emphasised that the operative cash flow in the heavy engineering sector is prone to periodic fluctuations but should improve as sales pick up still further in coming months. Funds at the end of June totalled €45.8 million and KBA's net financial position was positive, while its equity ratio of 37.5% compares well with the rest of the sector.
Consolidation on course
At the end of June the KBA group employed a total of 6,445 people, almost 1,000 fewer than at the same time last year (7,411) and 1,700 below the pre-crisis peak in summer 2008. Existing redundancy and phased-retirement schemes will reduce the total by approximately 300. By the end of the year the personnel cuts initiated in spring 2009 will be largely completed, leaving a payroll of around 6,100.
86.2% export level
A 10% drop in domestic sales pushed the export level up from 83.9% to 86.2%. Shipments to the rest of Europe fell from €176.7 million to €139.7 million as the recession impacted on sales in key print markets. So after exceeding 50% on a regular basis, the proportion of Group sales generated in Europe almost halved to 29.5%. Brisk demand boosted earnings in Asia and the Pacific from €101.2m to €127.6m and the proportion of Group sales from 22.3% to 27%. However, the proportion booked in North America, where the economy has yet to revive, sank to 11.6%. The contribution from Africa and Latin America soared to 18.1% – well above the historic average.
Outlook for second half-year
Demand for printing presses has picked up strongly in the past five months, as a result of which both the group order intake and the level of plant utilisation have increased substantially. So despite the cut in personnel and the fact that more work has been brought in-house, Hansen stands by his previous projection for the current year of an increase of some 7.5% in sales to more than €1.1 billion (2009: €1.05 billion): "We are confident that the substantial improvement in performance compared to the first six months of 2009 will continue for the rest of the year, and that we shall post a single-digit rise in sales and a bigger pre-tax profit than the €2.7 million in 2009. Precisely how high earnings are will essentially depend on our niche markets, with their shorter business cycles, on our customer services and on a sustained economic revival."
Despite an intensive search KBA has not yet made any further acquisition or entered a collaborative alliance with new partners. Even so, the group remains committed to diversifying from its traditional business of press technology into new fields offering good prospects for growth and employment. Says Hansen: "Protracted negotiations on a potential acquisition with a business volume of well over €100m recently fell through when the risks to which KBA would be exposed proved to be too high. Further options are being pursued with the due diligence and patience essential in the current business climate. While KBA has ample reserves to finance any promising project, we are in no hurry and have no desire to enter a venture with an uncertain outcome."

Reward for stolen diamond pens

Rumor: Cataclysm targeted for a November 2 release date
We do know that Cataclysm has previously been targeted for a 2010 release date and that they've kept on this target recently.

Dear Blizzard,
Please don't release your gigantic, horribly-addicting, long-awaited expansion on friggin' *Election Day*.
A Registered Voter
Absentee voting is your friend. It's not that hard to get an absentee ballot in most states. "I will be out of town on election day" is a valid excuse. You don't have to tell them that 'out of town' equals Azeroth. 28 states have 'no excuse' absentee voting, 22 states make you come up with an excuse.
Getting down to your polling place and voting shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes if you go midday when everyone's at work anyhow. It'll be good to stretch your legs after you've been levelling nonstop since midnight.
I'm an elections judge so if this date is true I'll have to miss the first 24 hours anyhow. I console myself with the thought that I probably wouldn't be able to get online in the first 24 hours anyhow.
Dear Blizzard,
Please don't release your gigantic, horribly-addicting, long-awaited expansion on friggin' *my girlfriend's birthday*.
A Soon To Be Single Man
Good catch. I usually vote when I drop off the kids at school so it won't affect me, but they should probably move it back a week to accommodate the elections.
Nah. Screw everyone else. I want it as soon as possible!!!!
What's a little sad is that through the four pages of comments on MMO Champion when I last checked, not one comment noted the American significance of 11/2 this year.
(Besides it being my mother's 70th birthday. Happy B-Day in advance, Mom!)
Then again Election Day was briefly the rumored day for Wrath's release in 2008 and that proved well off the mark.
"...it's said that the collapse of the American political system could be tied to one specific date in 2010, when the entire country failed to vote, instead choosing to participate in a popular hobby at the time: Slaying Internet Dragons.
The real problem occurred when, for the first time ever, the standard write-in votes for "Mickey Mouse" finally managed to win.
After Mickey Mouse's inauguration, he quickly rose through the ranks, finding himself elected as president in 2012. Soon after, he become the most brutal dictator in the history of mankind, committing genocide at thrice the scale of Hitler's holocaust."

And the doc thought I was stupid for picking up a history book from the future instead of the 2053 sports almanac that Marty McFly wanted me to get...
I say go for November 2nd. That way, us Canadians can have a head start :D
It's because it's the midterm elections. It's really not viewed as significant as a presidential election for whatever reason even though it's just as important, if not more important, to vote for your state representatives than it is to vote for the president. not to mention it's not a very exciting election year seeing as all the pundits are saying that it's going to be an incumbent turnover election year. There isn't a great amount of uncertainty as to who's going to win in each state so there isn't a lot of excitement over it.
I call shenanigans. There is not an American History text book in the history or future of this country that would ever use the word "thrice."
I, for one, look forward to voting for Abesik Kampfire for Warchief when Cataclysm comes out on Election Day!
Nor will an American History book be written in English in 2053, either.
they just need to put voting booths at the Gamestops and other game stores,...record voter turnout
Hmmmm.... actually I think many states have a law requiring businesses to allow for time off to vote on election day. I'm going to be doing a lot of "voting" on November 2nd...
... someone was watching the Back to the Future 'marathon' on Space this weekend! :)
YESSSSSSSSSSSS and now to start counting the days. OOOh that's 50 Days (at least i think...me bad with math).

20-Somethings - Fitness bands (jawbone up, Fitbit, etc)View Full Version : Fitness bands (jawbone up, Fitbit, etc) SarahLynn77 08-01-2013, 11:39 AM Does anyone have one of these? I'm debating buying one and I was curious what people think about them. I've heard good and bad things but I figured if anyone would know, it would be 3fc! lisa34t 08-01-2013, 12:14 PM I have the Fitbit Ultra and the One! Currently using the One, its the upgrade from the Ultra and syncs with my Galaxy s3. I LOVE the little booger! They have a great community for users, you can add friends from around the US and see each others steps in a daily/weekly ranking. I still have a heart rate monitor because Fitbit cant exactly measure how hard Im working! I love it and wear it daily! Jelbb 08-01-2013, 12:35 PM I've got a Jawbone UP, which.. I'm wearing right now. :) It's a bracelet/wristband that has a little cap you pull off... and you plug it directly into the headphones jack of your phone to sync with the app. It's meant to be worn... pretty much all the time, and is apparently waterproof, but I still take it off to shower. I love mine, simply for a bit of accountability. I might feel like I had a slightly lazy day, but when I plug in my UP and discover that I took less than 500 steps the whole day, it really hammers the point home and encourages me to take a walk. It tracks your steps and the intensity of your speed in a little chart and tells you: - Your active time - Your longest time active - Your longest idle time - Your resting calorie burn - Your active calorie burn - Your total calorie burn for the day You can also set it to vibrate if you've been sitting still for too long. I have mine set to lazy-buzz me after an hour. (And I move my hands and arms around all over the place while at my desk, but it can still tell that I haven't stood up and moved, unlike a traditional pedometer.) The Jawbone UP also works as a silent alarm, tracking your light and deep stages of sleep (in a handy little chart) and wakes you up within a "window" of time you set. I need to be up by 7, so between 6:15 and 7, it gauges when I'm MOST awake, and buzzes like mad to wake me up. It also allows you to set it to powernap mode, and it'll track you falling asleep and wake you up after one deep sleep cycle. In the app, you can log exercises, snap pictures of your meals and track your eating. The band also connects with all kinds of other apps, but I haven't explored that feature too much. That's my little description, but you get a better idea from the website. http://www.jawbone.com/up SarahLynn77 08-01-2013, 02:52 PM I love it! Totally going to have to buy one... CrazyCatWoman 08-03-2013, 02:46 PM I bought a jawbone up and it stopped working after 48 hours, so it's on its way back to the supplier :( I am wondering if the Fitbit flex will be better. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
