M/V Capaz
At this juncture, we basically own a powerboat. Both rigs were pulled today at the Seaview East yard in Ballard. Most of the day went pretty much as planned with only one injury. Our mast pulling operations foreman, Harris, got whacked in the forehead by a turnbuckle as the main mast was being lowered onto the cart. He promised me that he was OK and was able to deliver a boat through locks later on so, I will have to trust his diagnosis.
So, Capaz is now a funny looking mastless sailboat (some would call it a powerboat). With the help our friend, Andy Schwenk, owner of Northwest Rigging in Anacortes, Capaz will have all new standing rigging. Both masts were inspected (something that one should do every 3 or 4 years) twice (by Andy and then another friend, who happens to a surveyor, stopped by and put his eyes on them also). Brad, Andy and I spent a couple of hours undressing the masts. I learned a lot about masts today. Some of it very reassuring and some of it a little scary. Most of our rigging is pretty oversized (much stronger stuff than it needs to be) - that's the good news. On the other side of the coin, I learned that the rigging is attached at the spreaders to the mast with very thin wire - granted several wraps of said thin wire, but still, I expected much beefier attachment methods. I have been assured that it is all very standard and safe. I also learned how to pull out codder pins using something Andy calls, "Le Tool" and how to coil big cables.
How it happened:
We weren't sure if we could get the boat back through the locks and be home in time for Austin's return from school on the bus, so we altered our plans a little. I ran home, grabbed dinner makings, picked Austin up at school and met Brad at Shilshole to drop a car off there. Then we proceeded back to the boat yard and finished cleaning up our tools before heading for the locks. Austin is going to make a great boat kid as he did his math homework this afternoon as were waiting for the small lock's green light. Back at Shilshole, we had a quick dinner and covered the holes in the boat so that rain won't get inside. Even if some does, we started up our new dehumidifier - our live-abroad neighbors swear by them for winters in Seattle. (Did you know that the hurricanes in Texas caused a dehumidifier shortage here in the NW? The people at Home Depot were so excited to get a shipment because they haven't been able to since last summer!!! Who knew?) Brad hopes to be able to put the rigs back into the boat next week!
We will be back to being sailboat owners!

So… what's missing? How does your awesome day differ from your typical days now? How big are the gaps? The first time I imagined my awesome day my gaps felt gigantic. I put together a vision of what I wanted my life to look and feel like and I had a hard time believing I could get there.
Looking back, my expectations were so low… I really just wanted to feel good every day and to bring my passions for loving and connecting meaningfully with people back into my life. How did I do it? I made little changes… I did small things every day that made me feel good and used my passions for loving and connecting with others. Before I knew it I was living the way I imagined… and then I started to imagine again.
My vision evolved and continues to evolve. Today my vision looks much different than it did that first day… the elements of my first vision are there, but my vision has significantly expanded. The key: I never would be where I am now if I didn't take that first step to imagine, identify what was missing, and take small steps in the direction of my first vision. The first tiny step made all the difference in my life… when we have a vision the first step is the most important step because it makes all other steps possible...
There are all kinds of reasons our lives aren't where we want them to be… we have beliefs that limit us that we need to address. However, there are small actions we can take now that move us in the directions of our visions and help us see that we can make progress as we address our beliefs.
This week we're taking the first steps towards our awesome days!
Go back to the exercise from week 1 (click here for the post) and ask yourself the following questions about how your life operates now:
· Where are my opportunities in each day to spend my time differently (assuming nothing else changes like my work)?
· Who do I interact with on a daily basis?
· When and where in my day do I come into contact with people I don't know?
· What parts of my day are most stressful?
· What parts of my day aren't stressful?
· What are the most enjoyable parts of my day?
· What varieties of experiences do I have in my day?
· How do I learn about new things in my day?
· What parts of my day am I doing things that I want to do?
· What parts of my day am I doing things that others want me to do? (Focus on time spent doing things others want me to do for them, not things that others need me to do for them.)
All of the items above offer unique opportunities for small changes. What follows are examples:
· Free time: We all have free time. We might not feel like we do, but we do. There are always things that will demand our time and we choose how to respond to the demands. A great small change is to re-allocate 30 minutes of time each day to something that is currently missing in our lives.
· People I interact with: Am I making the most of these interactions? How do I feel about the interactions? Am I happy with how I treat others? A great small change is to treat people differently and in ways that reflect how we want to feel and make others feel.
· Interacting with strangers: Many times we are oblivious to the people around us and are totally enthralled in what we're doing. Think about the grocery store… do you observe and engage others or go through the store shut off to others? A great small change is to simply smile at others and experience how good it feels to connect and make others feel good.
· Stressful times: Are there times of the day that are habitually stressful? For some the morning is always a mad dash, which is no way to start the day. A great small change is to do a little thing that will make a stressful time less stressful, like getting things prepared for the next morning the night before, getting up 15 minutes earlier, and having food ready to eat so it doesn't have to be prepared.
· Non-stressful times: Are there times of the day that aren't stressful at all? If so, that is great! Do these times offer opportunities to add something to make these times even more enjoyable and fun? For example, you can add something music or listening to an interesting web or pod cast?
· Enjoyable parts of my day: Is there anything I can do to make these enjoyable times even better? Is there something missing in my life that I can add to my enjoyable times?
· Varieties of experiences: Do I have different experiences each day? If not this is a place to make some change… when everything is the same all the time we stagnate. Small changes like new food, driving to a familiar place in a different way, changing a workout routine, going to a new store, and checking out a different coffee shop help us get out and feel more excited about life.
· Learning: Maybe something that's missing is learning something new. A lot of times we don't spend much time learning and this creates a big void… something missing. Allocating some time to learning… even if it's just 15 minutes of reading before bed… can be powerful.
· Doing what I want to do: Think hard and if you feel like you aren't doing anything you want to do in your typical day, this is a place for a change. Be honest with yourself… how are you choosing to spend your time? There have to be some minutes to allocate to do something you want to do…
· Doing what others want me to do (but don't need me to do): Here's the big one. Many of us spend all kinds of time doing things others want us to do. There's a hard truth… many times we are doing these things because we're hiding from the things we know we need to do to be happy. Challenge yourself here… what part are you playing in this? Thinking about the time you spend doing things others want you to do with the intention to change this over time… this change in mindset is a great small change that starts to build personal accountability…
The last bullet on this list was a game changer for me… when I was finally honest with myself I realized that I was using the time I spent doing things others wanted me to do as a big excuse for not doing the hard things I needed to do… I was hiding! What happened when I changed how I spent my time? Others were happy for me because I was happier!

Check out the cover of this book.
Notice anything interesting?
No title. No author byline. No illustrator name. No display text whatsoever. Crazy, huh?
This wonderful version of Puss in Boots is taken from Perrault's tale and illustrated by Fred Marcellino. The one thing you can see on the cover is that it's a Caldecott honor book. And well deserved.
Do you remember Puss in Boots' story? (Before his adventures with Shrek?) A miller's third son inherited Puss. (When you're the third son, you can't expect much.) This is what the miller's son thought of his inheritance:
But little did he know that Puss in his wee little boots would make him rich. Puss immediately takes charge and tells the miller's son to do exactly what he tells him to do and his "fortune is made."
First, Puss bags some game and takes it to the king, telling his majesty that it's a gift from the Marquis of Carabas (an altar-ego he's created for his master).
The thing I love about these illustrations is the dramatic angles. Here, it's like we're one of the courtiers looking down on the scene from a second-story balcony.
In this next one, we're taking the perspective of the miller's son bathing in the stream. I think this image really highlights the miller's son's ridiculousness — that his cat is so much smarter than he is.
The cat's cries stop the king's carriage. Puss tells them that his master has been robbed, and the king's servants quickly fetch a grand suit of clothing for the young trickster. The princess apparently thinks the miller's son cleans up nice, so they all decide to go for a carriage ride.
Puss runs ahead and threatens all the farmers to tell the king that the land they're working belongs to the Marquis of Carabas. I love this image of everyone bowing to Puss like he's the boss. I guess that's one of the morals of this story. Act like the boss, and you'll be treated like the boss. (Kind of like How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.)
OK, here is the ogre, the one who truly owns all that land. Puss knows that the ogre can transform himself into animals. The ogre does a lion, and Puss challenges him to change into a mouse. "I bet you can't do teensie little animals as well as you can do big ones."
So, the ogre takes the bait, transforms into a mouse, and Puss … uh … has dinner.
With the ogre out of the way, the Marquis of Carabas is free to occupy his castle and take his place as lord of the land. The king, seeing that the Marquis has got it going on — good land, lots of servants, a great pad — does what any father would do. He offers his daughter's hand in marriage. And she accepts, of course. And they are married that same day. Sheesh!
I love Puss curled up at the top of the stairs as if to say, "My work here is done."
And I'm crazy about this painting of Puss, with the two mice below staring up in awe of him. Hilarious.
I hope you enjoyed these illustrations as much as I did. I like this book because the story is pretty much straight from Perrault. There aren't many changes in the text, but the images do all the editorializing. Contrasted with the words, they provide all the irony and humor needed.
As for the moral of the story, I'm not sure if it's teaching kids that it pays to be smart or it pays to be phony. What do you think?
Do you know any phonies like the miller's son?

Tagged: New York Yankees
Yankees and Damon Talking
The Yankees and Johnny Damon are talking about a possible return. Damon was a good offensive player for the Yankees last year and his most memorable moment in 2009 was his long at-bat against Philadelphia closer Brad Lidge that drug out 9 pitches and ended in a single. After that at-bat, Damon succeeded in a double steal against the shift in Philly.
If Damon returns, I would have him as the DH and as of now the outfield would probably be Melky Cabrera in left, Granderson in center, and Swisher in right. Everything could change because rumors are saying Melky could be traded to another club.
In other news the Mets have reportedly offered free agent deals to OF Jason Bay and C Bengie Molina. Boston fans you may lose another player to New York, but to the Senior Circuit club. Though I wouldn't be to worried of Bay going to the Mets. If they do lose out on Bay they will probably make a huge puch for Matt Holliday.
The AL East is getting stronger too. The Rays acquired Rafael Soriano from the Braves for Jesse Chavez.
The Baltimore Orioles acquired Kevin Millwood from Texas for RP Chris Ray.
The Red Sox and Texas have reached an agreement on a trade that would send the 2007 World Series MVP, Mike Lowell, to Texas and C/1B Max Ramirez to Boston.
Yankees Still in on Aroldis Chapman
According to Chapman's agent, the Yankees are going to attend Aroldis Chapman's throwing session. Chapman defected from the Cuban national team in July. He was clocked at throwing 100 mph at the World Baseball Classic in March. Chapman's agent also said that the Red Sox, Orioles, Phillies, and Tigers are interested in the left-handed pitcher.
Yankees and Pettitte Agree to Deal
Andy Pettitte was huge for the Yankees last year becoming a dominant pitcher later and later into the season. He posted a 14-8 record with a 4.16 ERA in the regular season. Pettitte was dominant in the postseason for New York also. He was 4-0 in 5 postseason starts. He clinched the ALDS, ALCS, and the World Series against familiar-foe Pedro Martinez in New York.
This move is great. The first three spots in the starting rotation will be a bit easier to fill out now.
Winter Meetings Round-Up: Day 2
There were other moves than the big 3-team trade that sent Curtis Granderson to New York and Edwin Jackson to Arizona.
Brad Penny signed a one-year, $7.5 million contract with St. Louis
Chone Figgins signed a four-year, $36 million contract with Seattle
There were some rumors going around also.
The Cubs are shopping Milton Bradley
San Diego's Kevin Kouzmanoff is drawing interest from other teams
Atlanta's Rafael Soriano is available
Granderson Traded to Yankees
The New York Yankees have reportedly acquired Curtis Granderson in a 3 team trade involving the Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Yankees, and Detroit Tigers.
Yankees get: CF Curtis Granderson (DET)
D'Backs get: RHP Edwin Jackson (DET), RHP Ian Kennedy SP (NYY)
Tigers get: OF Austin Jackson* (NYY), RHP Max Scherzer SP (ARI), LHP Daniel Schlereth (ARI), LHP Phil Coke (NYY)
The headline piece is obviously Curtis Granderson but the other pieces are keys to see how good of a deal this is.
Granderson is good defensive outfielder who can make plays in the outfield and has power in his bat. He can help out the Yankees in the line up at the top of the order. He hit 30 HR's for the Tigers in 2009.
The Yankees do lose on top outfield prospect Austin Jackson who could develop into a Curtis Granderson type player. He spent last season mainly in Triple-A with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees.
Ian Kennedy was traded to the D'Backs and has the potential to mold into a decent pitcher. He had injury problems with an arm injury. If he molds into the pitcher he can be, he will be very serviceable for Arizona.
Phil Coke was a good reliever for the Yankees in 2009. He was able to be put in key spots and prevail. Coke is a south paw and has a high ceiling.
What are your thoughts on the trade? I believe this is a good trade for all teams involved and as a Yankees fan, I think Granderson can help out in extraordinary ways in 2010.

Would You Sell the Farm for Halladay?
As the Hot Stove sizzles with the latest news coming out everyday, I have been thinking, Do I want the Yankees to sell the farm for Roy Halladay and risk 3-4 years of not having good prospects or keeping those prospects and keep the young talent flowing to replace your older players?
Give your thoughts on this.
Austin Jackson
Yankees Reducing Payroll?
While my first instinct when I saw this was, "So we are not going to be getting any FA's?" While many fans may think this, that is not entirely the case.
While the Yankees have been despised for spending loads of many on big name players such as Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, they have set their budget for the 2010 campaign. The Yankees ended their final day of organizational meetings in Tampa, FL on Friday, December 4th.
While the budget is smaller than last years spending spree, GM Brian Cashman has said that rotation help is in the plan for this off-season.
As a fan, this is still good news, whether it's a trade to land a pitcher (Roy Halladay) or signing a Free Agent starter. While we're on the topic here the Free Agent starters out there.

After painting with our orphans this morning, we visited the homes of the members of our village. Almost every home welcomed us by cracking open a fresh coconut for us to eat. One household served us the slices of coconut with puffed rice, which was especially tasty. I just took a shower and I am still wet with the humidity.

heritage oaks homes for sale
The housing market has shifted yet again, but unfortunately it has continued to shift downward.
Today potential house buyers are faced with even more choices when it comes to the mechanics
of home buying. It is no longer as simple as the old real estate moniker location, location, location,
now house buyers need to learn an entirely new vocabulary and more importantly actually
understand what all the definitions mean and how they can relate to and affect their choice of
selecting a new house. Here are some of they new house buying terms or more aptly referred to
as house buying 2.0.
Over the last two years alone we have a plethora of new terms. In a future post I will give an indepth explanation to each of them, but for today lets just introduce you to them and how and why
the are now part of House Buying 2.0. Here is a quick list: Foreclosure, Short Sale, deficiency,
Mediation, As-is, Show me the original deed, Under water, BPO, Cash for keys and Deed in-lieu.
There is no doubt that you maybe familiar with some of these terms as they are not used
exclusively in just real estate, however even if they did not originate in real estate because of the
current housing market we have now shoe-horned them into House Buying 2.0
Before the current housing crisis, you did not often hear the term foreclosure, if you did more than
likely it was because some lowly person or company had scammed a bank or mortgage company
or they were losing the property due to other unlawful activities. It was almost considered the
"black plague" to have your home foreclosed on, very taboo if it were. Today, almost no has been
untouched or knows at least 3 or 4 people that have had their house foreclosed. Even people with
good paying jobs who can afford their homes are letting the house go into foreclosure just
because the house value is so far "underwater" or they know they can buy a better house (usually
with cash) at a much cheaper price then they paid for their current home.
The first reason stated (under water) simply means the house is now worth less than what the
outstanding mortgage is on the house. This, if the owner stays in the house and wants to try and
sell it so that the bank can re-coup at least some of its money is typically referred to as a short
sale. It's the same situation as being under water (actually you must be under water and there
needs to be a few other key components in effect) in order for the bank to consider a short sale
Should they agree to a short sale, you can almost be guaranteed that there will be a deficiency. A
deficiency is the difference between what is owed on the mortgage(s) and what the house will sell
for. So if there is a $100,000 mortgage and the house sells for $80,000 there would be a $20,000
deficiency. In the old days, just two years ago, a bank would rarely look to the owner for the
deficiency. Rather they would, simply send off a 1099 miscellaneous form to the IRS in the
amount owed. This in effect was income you benefited from and the IRS would try and collect it
from you. That has pretty much changed. The IRS got tried of chasing people with no money
(hence that's why the house was sold as a short sale).
One word of advice if you are going to buy a foreclosure or short sale, there are many, many
mechanics that go into the process. You really do need an experienced person (consultant) or
agent to help guide you through it. Just because some has a real estate license does not mean
they can successfully transacted the deal for you.
A BPO, Short Sale, As-Is and Mediator are all components of a short sale. The BPO (Brokers
Price Opinion) is a price opinion performed by 3 different brokers on the same house so the bank
can determine the market value and thereby know what to sell or agree to sell the house for.
As-Is well that's pretty self explanatory. You are buying the house as-is, where is and how-is. The
bank (or owner) will not make any repairs or concessions on repairs or credits for repairs. As we
get deeper into House Buying 2.0 the banks etc, may state this upfront, however they are
increasingly giving in to buyers requests for some repairs and or credits.
Show me the original deed, Cash for keys and Deed in-lieu are all related to a foreclosure. Using
these terms at the right time or in negotiations for the stopping of a foreclosure or to purchase of
one are key elements to successfully dealing with the transaction, depending on which side of the
coin you are in the process. Again, here it is most important to have a skilled and experienced
consultant, real estate agent or attorney help you through this process.

"My name is Madhura Berman and I am a part of the SUNY Purchase College Film Conservatory. Filmmaking has always been a passion of mine ever since my dad gave me his old video camera when I was 8. As a woman who was born in India, adopted at two, and then raised in a loving household in white suburbia, I find it my duty to create stories about people trying to find their way into society. Learning how to fit in has always been something I struggled with, so creating films about family and understanding where you come from are common themes I enjoy exploring."
Jeremy Gray is a Purchase Senior hailing from Sacramento, California. Since moving from the West Coast, Jeremy has used filmmaking to get to know his new home, pointing his camera at the people and things around him that help him characterize New York. His films are in some ways personal studies into just how different (and, at the same time, similar) people's life experiences can be. "The Raffa Show" is his junior documentary.
William Miller (BFA 2017) is best known for creating work that takes aesthetics normally reserved for kids and fusing it with real world adult struggles. Influenced by the work of Martha Colburn and Don Hertzfeldt; William's films combine handmade crafts with digital video art techniques. Born and raised in Buffalo N.Y., William strives to make films that give voice to the underrepresented stories in his community.

Exercise your Gifts.
What is the call that you are NOT answering? What is the course of action that would rock your world at the very foundation and accelerate the process of effective transformation?
There are dreamers and "doers." We all have dreams, hopes and aspirations, but few of us exercise the courage to bring those dreams into manifestation. It it important to remember that the only thing that separates us from those who have achieved greatness is that they exercised their choice--they put their feet to their dreams.
I invite you to step into your power. Exercise the divine that is within you by stepping into the unknown and into the direction of your dreams. This is not a dress rehearsal. Your life is precious and the world is ready to embrace your greatness. What is one step that you WILL TAKE TODAY to move you effectively in the direction of your dream? If your initial response is "I don't know," then you are exercising fear. Go deeper and ask your self for the inner wisdom necessary to make an effective choice.
Success or sabotage? Success is chosen, it is not born. we are all born with the genetics and opportunities to exercise our gifts for the good of our lives and the world at large.
Is this going to be an incredible day? As you think, so shall ye be!

Many arcs in superhero stories revolve around the idea of a relationship. We've seen it with just about every major hero in comics (and their respective film adaptations as well). It provides a means of humanizing these heroes and making them relatable while also serving as an interesting piece of character development.
However, fans and readers have been quick to point out that not all of these comic relationships worked. As a matter of fact, many of them ended up being so messed up and weird that many wonder why they were ever created in the first place.
RELATED: Love Is Dead: 15 Comic Book Relationships That Died Before Our Eyes
Due to the various retcons and alternate timelines of comic books, it's difficult to say that one relationship is screwed up all the time, but there are definitely moments that are completely insane in our eyes. As such, we're going to be taking a look at 15 of the most screwed up relationships in comic books. Don't worry, though, we're staying away from the obvious pick of Joker and Harley Quinn.
While Hank Pym ended up being one of the founding Avengers, his contribution to his marriage with Janet Van Dyne (the Wasp) added up to be one of the most screwed up things in Marvel Comics.
Hank has always had big aspirations for himself and has wanted to change the world. Unfortunately, this results in creating beings like Ultron. When Janet tries to reason with him about some of his actions in Avengers #213, he flies off the deep end, and slaps her across the face. Since then, old Hank has been known as little more than a wife beater. That's even before considering his actions in Ultimates #6 where he set an entire army of ants to attack Janet while she was small in her Wasp suit to try and get away from him in the first place.
While Black Canary is primarily the love interest of the Green Arrow, she has had some flings with the Dark Knight at times. They've only kissed a few times in the main continuity, but that's not the moment that is worthy of this list. I'm talking about their fling in a different continuity.
All Star Batman and Robin features one of the craziest scenes in Batman history. The Dark Knight fights a slew of people and burns them all alive. Then Black Canary shows up and he proceeds to do the deed with her while people are burning all around them. This one scene is so monumentally disturbing that it almost made me consider staying away from Batman comics altogether. Almost.
Superman and Lois Lane have one of the most classic relationships in the comics, but even they aren't immune to some weird ideas. If you need further proof, I present to you a little comic run titled Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane.
In this comic, both Lois and Superman do this back and forth of abuse in order to fit their ideals. In Issue #5, Superman actually tricks Lois Lane into having superpowers so she won't be obsessed with discovering his secret identity. By the time Issue #23 rolls around, she is obsessed with getting more powers so she can prove something to Superman. There are other instances where she dabbles in black magic and time travel, and the whole thing becomes really screwed up as a result.
The death of Gwen Stacy is arguably one of the biggest moments in comic book history. Not only was it a painful moment for Peter's character, but it moved the entire industry into a new era. It seems impossible to make something like that lose its impact. Unfortunately, I present to you Amazing Spider-Man Issues #509-514.
In a story titled "Sins Past," Marvel does a bit of a retcon for Gwen Stacy. She actually cheated on Peter by sleeping with none other than Norman Osborn. She ended up becoming pregnant and then broke it off with the Green Goblin. Angry, he decided to throw her off a bridge and raise the children (she had twins) to become assassins specifically to kill Peter Parker. Need I say more?
Batman has always had a predisposition to date women who are dangerous and fearsome. Take Talia al Ghul for example. Being the daughter of one of his villains, you would think that the Dark Knight would know to stay away from her. Nonetheless, he couldn't keep it in his pants and the two have had a weird relationship since then.
Talia became pregnant with their child who became the next Robin. However, she had such a hatred for Bruce's crusade that she swore against it and even alienated her own son for not staying with the League. In response, she created a clone of Damian to have as her "real" son. The clone was then ordered to kill Damian and succeeded in Batman Incorporated Vol. 2 Issue #8.
With the Wonder Woman movie coming out to nearly redeem the DCEU, I thought it fitting to explore her relationship with Steve Trevor that inspired their dynamic in the film. Needless to say, I ended up finding some seriously screwed up moments.
Let's address the fact that he was basically being led on in the New 52 and was severely misused as a result (he was basically a liaison for the Justice League despite having feelings for Diana). But the kicker in their relationship is in Wonder Woman Issue #167 where Steve Trevor tries to force Wonder Woman to marry him by tying her lasso around her. What makes this worse is that she begged him at first to be patient until she was done fighting crime. Did he listen? No.
In a Beauty and the Beast scenario, almost no one wins. While it was poetically beautiful that Betty Ross was in love with Bruce Banner and could help him as he became The Hulk, it was quickly discovered that this would cause more problems than it would solve.
As a matter of fact, it turns out that their relationship went through its ups and downs. Banner, as a matter of fact, could turn into The Hulk voluntarily, which brought harm to Betty on numerous occasions. She ended up dying due to exposure to Banner's gamma radiation in Incredible Hulk #466. But the craziest part was when she came out as another Hulk villain, the Red She Hulk in Hulk Vol. 2 #16. Not to mention all the times she left Bruce and even married another man.
The movies may only hint at this, but the horrible truth is that Scott Summers is a class A jerk. While he may have noble intentions at times, he has often gone against the X-Men, harmed Professor X, and the reason his relationship made it on this list, cheated on Jean Grey multiple times.
One of the bigger showcases of this was in New X-Men #138 where he cheats on her with Emma Frost and gets caught at the same time. As if this weren't bad enough, he actually decides later on that he must serve the greater good and tries to leave a clone of Jean (that he left the real Jean for) and their newborn child in Uncanny X-Men #201. It's insane and we're still wondering why people ship these two. Just let Jean live her own life for crying out loud!
Fans of the X-Men movies will never know how insane Mystique's adventures could really be. She had a relationship with a fellow mutant known as Azazel, but their connection goes a bit deeper than just that.
Apparently, Azazel was a demon banished to another dimension. The only way he could return to Earth was by having children with various women, so he decided to mindlessly sleep around as told in Uncanny X-Men #433. This led him to Germany, where he met Mystique, who was already married to a man named Christian Wagner. However, this didn't stop her from cheating on her husband to get it on with Azazel. Despite getting pregnant with their child, Mystique had to raise it on her own because Azazel left soon after. Oh yeah, in Unlimited X-Men #4, she kills Christian because he suspects something was up.
Kitty Pryde has never had it good when it came to relationships. There was that time in Ultimate Spider-Man #104 where Spider-Man cheats on her with Mary Jane. Unfortunately, it only gets worse from there as time goes on.
She ends up leaving the X-Men to join a team with Cyclops. This eventually leads them to work with the Guardians of the Galaxy, where she and Star Lord begin a relationship in Legendary Star Lord #1. While she remained on Earth, she ended up staying with the Guardians and Star Lord ended up proposing in Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: Black Vortex Omega #1.
However, their happiness didn't last long as Peter Quill abandoned the Guardians to become the ruler of Spartax. While Kitty stayed, he was so demanding that she left and took over his spot as the new Star Lord. After some back and forth, they never reunited.
One look at these names and you know something weird is about to happen. I should point out that this is not the result of an alternate timeline where they aren't related. In the reality that I discuss, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are still brother and sister.
There were several times where their romantic relationship was teased, like the cover for Ultimates #8. However, it wasn't until Ultimates 3 #1 where it was confirmed. Scarlet Witch walks out in a revealing outfit and Captain America tries to tell that they're setting the example. At that moment, Quicksilver threatens to kill the Captain. It's then that it's revealed that they hold a strange romantic relationship, and Cap doesn't handle it well. It's Hawkeye who suggests that they do something about it.
An assassin like David Cain wants to leave a legacy. After all, he was the one who trained Batman. However, it was never enough for him. He attempted to train children to be his successors, but nothing ever worked. It was then that he decided he needed his own child.
But he wouldn't just woo any woman. He was going to get the perfect fighter so he could raise the perfect child. This led him to a woman named Sandra. After meeting her and her sister, David murdered Sandra's sister and threatened to kill her unless she had his child. Once that occurred, David took the child and left, leaving Sandra to become the assassin known as Lady Shiva. It's an interesting twist of fate then, that the child ended up becoming the new Batgirl.
It's very seldom where we get a fairly normal relationship in comic books and that's what Black Panther and Storm had for a long time. Heralding from the same country, they formed a bond from a young age. However, their heroics led them down different paths, but that didn't stop them from getting married in Black Panther #18.
That said, they had their ups and downs, but nothing screwed up happened until Avengers VS X-Men #8. In it, Namor decides to wage war on Wakanda and destroy it. From then on, Black Panther cuts ties with the X-Men and even distances himself from his wife. After showing up to help out, he simply states that all X-Men are enemies of Wakanda and must leave the city. It was soon after that these two got a divorce. It was great while it lasted, I suppose.
Marvel's continuity had become so hated and convoluted that they knew they needed a new angle to readers back into their world. They decided to create the All-New, All-Different Marvel to shake things up. However, they needed a catalyst to start this all off.
Enter Doctor Doom finding the Infinity Gauntlet. He then decides to recreate reality in his own image, called Battleworld in Secret Wars #1-9. It's there that he basically steals Reed Richards's life. He is married to Sue Storm, and the two children are his as well. What makes this even crazier is the fact that he turned Galactus into a plaything for his newfound kids. It's not until Reed gets a one on one fight with Doom that he can actually snap Sue out of this reality and remind her of her true life.
Despite how much love the Green Arrow and Black Canary relationship gets from comic book fans, it's not the most stable connection ever put into the DC Universe.
Among the many strange things that happened to the two of them, one of the big ones was that Oliver cheated on Dinah with Black Lightning's niece in Green Arrow #28. As if that weren't bad enough, there was a time when Oliver died and somehow got brought back to life, yet Canary discovered that it was just a clone. Yet the clone was more reasonable than the real Oliver and they got married, only for her to get attacked by him and kill him in Green Arrow/Black Canary Issue #1. And you thought Arrow treated the Laurel Lance character poorly.

The federal Labor caucus has decided to put aside its disdain for former leader Kevin Rudd and return him to the Labor leadership. The reason for this is simple: with Julia Gillard as leader, Labor was heading to a massive electoral defeat in both the House of Representatives and probably the Senate as well.
Kevin Rudd, it seems, is being viewed as the party's only hope to avert electoral disaster. Here something of interesting transition in caucus' thinking has occurred reflecting how dire is the party's situation in the polls.
The last time Rudd was talked about as leader those advocating his return spoke of his ability to win an election. Now the hope is that Rudd can simply avert a disaster.
Questions now arise as to what happens next. Rudd's return to the prime ministership will be followed by a ministerial re-shuffle. Given the antipathy that exists between Rudd and so many of the current front bench, the change in personnel in the government will be extensive.
There will be many casualties with Wayne Swan, the treasurer under Gillard, arguably being the most senior. Of not unrelated interest will be any change in the new Rudd government's approach to the policy debate, and here it will be interesting to see if the carbon tax survives.
It will also be interesting to see what happens when the new Rudd leadership subjects itself to a parliamentary session. There might be dangers in Rudd going to the lower house to confront the cross-bench independents, especially if they were to decide to indicate a willingness to support Tony Abbott as prime minister.
In such a situation Rudd would have to tend his resignation to the governor-general and advise her to call on Abbott to form a ministry. Opposition leader Tony Abbott could then go to the next election as prime minister. Clearly there are important constitutional issues associated with the leadership transition and the role of the governor-general could be crucial in determining exactly when the election will be held and who the prime minister will be.
The Liberal-National opposition have been baying for an August 3 election, but that was when Gillard was prime minister. Were Rudd to move to an immediate election the opposition would be denied the opportunity to attack the new government in the parliament.
Rudd would also be hoping to exploit a bounce in support for Labor amongst the electorate that has been hinted at by the opinion polls. Once the election is called Rudd and Abbott would be locked in a policy debate and the controversies associated with the theatre of the parliament – including the contribution of a number of the independents some of whom have decided to retire rather than face their constituents – would be overshadowed. Expect an August election.
The resurrection of Rudd is all about the Labor party being influenced by opinion polls. These polls indicated that Labor MPs holding seats with margins up to 10% could be defeated. This has clearly influenced the thinking of a number of Labor MPs who voted for Gillard in the last leadership ballot.
These polls have been indicating that Labor is in serious trouble in every state except Victoria (but even in that state there have been signs of a corrosion of support especially in seats beyond inner Melbourne). In Queensland, NSW, South Australia and (at least according to Newspoll) Western Australia the collapse in primary support for Labor is at such low levels that, if they were replicated in the Senate, the Coalition would be in with a chance to win control of the upper house.
The critical question now is how the Australian electorate responds to what has happened. For all the drama of the leadership transition, the fact remains that the ALP has done nothing to dispel the notion that it is at war with itself. Labor strategists will be hoping that something of a euphoric response to Rudd's return translates in to voter support.
The chances are that it will not. As a former Labor leader who was himself the victim of a challenge once put it, you can't expect people to vote for you to run the country if you can't run yourself.

Why You Should Hire A Professional Photographer - Brittany Ross Photo
Your wedding day is arguably the most important day in your marriage. It's the foundation, and the start of your married lives together as husband and wife. There are so many important aspects of a wedding day that I, as a wedding photographer, am so passionate about and one of those things is obviously professional photography. In order to showcase the reasons as to why you NEED to hire a professional photographer for your wedding day, I am starting a new series on my blog highlighting WHY you need a professional photographer.
This first post is all about Experience. Experience in different lighting situations. A wedding day runs from 8am, allllllll the way to 2am in some cases. Which means we as wedding photographers needs to be prepared, and confident in shooting in all different lighting situations. From grandma's pitch black basement, or mother natures blazing sun, to shooting in incandescent bathrooms, or purple DJ lights. It important to know that no matter what gets thrown their way, that your photographer knows how to capture all of it, confidently.
Let's dive in!!
Low light situations
Throughout the day wedding photographers will be forced into situations to take images with very to little natural or ambient light. This is where the experience of working in these situations come into play. Understanding your cameras settings and capabilities is a very important skill to have when shooting in low light situations. You must be careful not to push your ISO too high, to avoid noise within the image.
2. Direct sunlight
Shooting in direct sunlight is something that most photographers are terrified of at one point in their career. It's scary to dive into the unknown, but when shooting weddings, 9 times out of 10 you will be put into a situation of shooting at 12 noon, and you need to be prepared to shoot in that harsh sunlight. It's not easy to do, and definitely takes some understanding.
3. Incandescent Lights
The bane of my existence. Incandescent lights are tricky to shoot in, and even trickier to edit, but with experience (and lots and lots of swearing at my computer) I overcame my fear of the dreaded yellow lights. First one is before, second is after. Thank you Photoshop Gods!!! Hiring a professional photographer with experience and skills in editing certain lighting situations is very important.
4. Understanding flash
Another BIG reason you should hire a professional photographer is because in most reception venues, you WILL need to use a flash. Receptions are moody, and dark and very hard to capture with ambient or natural light, so hiring a photographer who is comfortable and experienced using an off camera flash is crucial when choosing your photographer (a pop up flash on a canon rebel won't do the trick) The first image below was taken with my speedlight mounted on my camera, and then pointed to and bounced off the ceiling. The second image is lit with a video light on a stand to the right of me. I understand when to use which technique, in order to create the most perfect image.
4: Understanding flash pt. 2
Another interesting way to use flash while shooting a wedding reception is during the parrrtaayyy. By using my speedlight mounted on my camera, and a suuuuper slow shutter speed I can create this gorgeous effect with the ambient light. It adds more of a party-esque to the gallery. Again, I completely know and understand how to use my flash in all the ways it is capable of.
When considereing your wedding photographer it's important to know that they are equipped in knowing and understanding how to work in all lighting situations. Ask the questions. Your wedding day is very important. Your wedding photos need to represent the beautiful day, in the most beautiful way.

I shut down my mac and when I started it up again all the files I had saved, all my music, all my photo's and numbers and adresses and everything else I have worked on in the last year has just gone. No trace of it. If any of you have any idea how to get it back, I would love to know. Also, all the applications are still there but some of them need to be registered again.

I'm doing it...
I have never liked Twitter. It has always struck me as unlikely that communicating with someone in 140-character installments would improve our communication. When much of our cultural conversation moved to that platform, it only seemed to confirm my worst fears about technology dragging our cultural conversation down to the least common denominator.
But I have noticed that about three quarters of the people who read anything on eight hundred words come to the site from Twitter. And I admit that I like it when people read the things that I write. So what can you do? I've set up an account and will be figuring out how to use it in the next few weeks.
So...follow me on Twitter! I'm @mike_in_atx. As of right now, I mainly want to publicize things that I write here, and share the occasional article about which I have no intention of commenting myself. Hopefully I will resist the urge to share any bite-sized snarky hot takes on the news of the day. But I can't make any promises. Who knows where this journey will take me!

My friend loved this shaded chandelier, it really is beautiful! It is simple and sophisticated and it can be worn with anything which is great for everyday use. The reason I am giving 4 star and not 5 is because on one of the review photos. I was so excited to get these after reading the reviews, it is so hard to find great shaded chandelier online and I don't have time to go shopping. I tried them on right away and thought the fit was amazing.

As 2017 draws to a close, a year when most WestView readers have held their breath every time there was a word out of Donald Trump's mouth, it is time to assess the political scene in 2018, and what it means to us here in the Village and West Village.
Notice, I haven't bashed Assembly member Deborah Glick in the year and five months since I ceased my run against her due to my heart problems. I still believe that it is time for her to go. In 2018 she will ask for her 14th term in the Assembly, where, since the arrest of her buddy Sheldon Silver (the former Speaker) she has had little influence. Lots of Democratic Assembly Members have told me that Ms. Glick has become mostly a placeholder. Although she chairs the Higher Education Committee, was wholly run over by the Governor with his greatly flawed "free tuition" plan at SUNY." You don't hear her voice about ethics reform, opening up the electoral process, the under funding of NYC public schools, or even about Trump. I'm sure she is in the crowd of voices, and during the six months per year she is not staying at her country house we even see her at community events. I am not taking her on again in 2018, but it would be nice if, with all the refreshing new voices on the political scene, someone else did.
That brings me to Andrew Cuomo, our two-term Governor who now wants to be President. He had a rough 2017. The NYC subway and bus system, which HE is in charge of, accelerated its deterioration. He has tried to blame Mayor de Blasio, but its his baby. His chief political aide, Joe Percoco, got indicted for taking payoffs. Sheldon Silver was convicted as was Republican Senate Leader Dean Skelos, each for taking bribes and payoffs. two years ago the "3 men in a room" deciding all state legislation was Cuomo, Silver and Skelos, with Percoco standing at the door. Three of the four are gone. This Spring all three will face trial (Percoco) or retrial.
Recently the NY Times has taken him on, analyzing his $25 million campaign account. He has virtually no small donors. Since the beginning of 2015, Mr. Cuomo has raised over 99% of his campaign money from donations larger than $1,000 and nearly 99.9% of his funds from donors who gave at least $200, according to an analysis by The New York Times. At one point last year, Mr. Cuomo went six months without reporting a single individual donor who gave less than $200. Mr. Cuomo's campaign account has grown by over $23.6 million since the start of 2015 but only roughly $30,000 came from individual donors who gave less than $200. In the post-Bernie Sanders era (average donation of $27), this is astounding. Many of the Governor's donors have given. $50,000 or more, many through hidden donations funneled through LLCs.
With this kind of backing, is it any wonder that he makes decisions, often, which favor large corporate entities? The State is "committed to 100% renewable" energy, but he and his staff have approved new fossil fuel power plants around the state and are building natural gas pipelines everywhere. We have a housing affordability crisis in NYC, but the Governor does nothing to strengthen the rent laws, or sue state funds to build new housing. The Courts have ruled that schools in NYC are woefully underfunded (by billions of dollars) and he won't budget the money; meanwhile he grandstands for privately funded charter schools. Hospitals, like Beth Israel, are closing everywhere, and his NYS Department of Health says, "Ok," without public input or concern.
Back in 2014 he had a poorly funded opponent—Zephyr Teachout—who launched a two-month campaign and got almost 40% of the vote in the Democratic Primary. In our Assembly District she got 65%! There are a number of potential candidates at the starting gate, waiting to begin the race. And that candidate will have the 32-chapter NY Progressive Action Network there as a core filed operation. So, while the rest of the country is thinking about Trump next September, we in New York will be thinking about Andrew Cuomo—Should he stay or should he go?
Demonstrate outside Cuomo's $50,000 per head Birthday Bash!
When: Thursday, December 14th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Where: Cipriani Wall Street (55 Wall Street)

- AAPT Christmas
- Went to the Staff Christmas Party last night. Going in with low expectations is a good thing - it was quite a decent night, except that it was at a Toohey's joint. Very low attendance - it would be interesting to have seen how many more would have gone had it not been for the email saying that attendance is expected.

Invisalign in Kalamazoo, MI for Your Orthodontic Needs
Crooked or bucked teeth are so often the bane of teenagers everywhere but the metal braces that have been typically employed to straighten these unruly chompers have also caused no end of angst and youthful embarrassment. The good news is that recent developments in orthodontic technology have resulted in new ways to straighten teeth that result in far less social anxiety!
The Invisible Way to Straighten Teeth
Many of us remember those old metal brackets that were stuck to our teeth and were tightened occasionally. Indeed, many teenage social lives have been almost ruined by such monstrous metal braces that were seemingly manufactured to produce teenage horror stories. Invisalign in Kalamazoo, MI technology represents a brand-new way to arrest unruly teeth without the horror of regular old metal braces.
Where Invisalign differs is that it straightens teeth through the action of a virtually invisible brace that has been custom-made for each person. These clear Invisalign braces are very similar to mouthguards in that they sit over the top of teeth but are also made of a clear surgical-grade plastic. Each new brace that is made is incrementally smaller than the last and straightens teeth over time.
Many dental clinics, such as the one run by Stephanie M Busch – Abbate DDS PLC, have adopted this technology as a fantastic alternative to regular metal braces.
The Real-Life Benefits of Clear Braces
The real beauty of this is that they are far less noticeable than regular metal braces. Given the fragile nature of teenage emotions, this teeth-straightening technology represents a much better experience in that it is less noticeable to their peers, causes less social anxiety, and less loss of self-confidence and self-esteem. What delicate teenager wouldn't want to wear them over traditional braces?
