No, I am not talking about the Disney movie, although I do apologize if you suddenly have that song stuck in your head. I am talking about all the past hurts you have experienced, the wrongs done to you, the unrealistic expectations, the bad habits, the illogical thoughts, the unhealthy relationships.
It is human nature to want to right past wrongs, to seek justice, to brood, to cling to the past. Yet in many ways, ways that you may not even realize, your past is shadowing your future. It is sticking to your shoe like gum. It is holding you back from achieving your potential. Everyone has a past; it is part and parcel of who you are yet it does not have to define you, it does not have to consume you. It is not about getting over the past yet rather about getting past it.
Change is difficult, even positive change, so how can you focus this year on moving forward.
1. Recognize what you are holding on to and why. There may be reasons to hold on to the past, if those reasons are propelling you forward. For example, a critical comment that your boss made may drive you to work harder to achieve that promotion. That is productive. Continuing to question your capabilities and competence long after leaving that job for a better position is not productive. So first step back and think about what parts of your past you are your carrying with you into your present and why.
2. Acknowledge your emotions. Trying to ignore your feelings is futile and your feelings will just creep up on you and leak out into all areas of your life. Take some time to think about how you are feeling and "sit with" those feelings. In order to get past the past, you need to truly feel your feelings. No matter how difficult, your feelings are valid and they are yours.
3. Accept the past. Denial really is only a river in Egypt. It is not healthy in your life. Stop trying to deny what happened, to keep secrets, or to outrun your past. This is futile as well. You cannot move forward if you do not acknowledge what has led to your present.
4. Recognize your contributions. This is a hard one. Hold up that mirror and take a good long look into it. Although it is so much easier to play the victim, this does not allow you to take control over your thoughts and actions. Think about how you have contributed to events in your past and how you have contributed to remaining stuck in those events. By recognizing this, you are empowering yourself to write your own script, to retell your past from a different perspective, and to regain control of your own life path.
5. Make the decision to Let It Go. This needs to be a conscious choice and it is your choice, and your choice alone. You have the power to decide whether you want to remain stuck or whether you want to move forward. Once you choose to move past the past…
6. Stop talking about it. Talking about issues, challenges, and difficulties is important, as it gives voice to these things, validates them, and allows us to process. Yet, at some point, enough is enough. You can only talk so much about how horrible your ex-boyfriend treated you or how miserable your parents are. There comes a time when it is more beneficial to stop giving these things airtime, to stop giving them the power to define and control your life in order to move forward.
7. Clean it out, literally. How are we to move forward, if we are surrounded by the keepsakes, mementos, clutter, and debris of our past? Purge, purge, purge. Delete those photos of your ex from your Facebook account. Choose to stop spending time with those who are critical of you or who bring you down, just because you think you should.
8. Clean it out, figuratively. Participate in a ritual. Write down all your thoughts and feelings and bury them, tear them up, burn them. Picture them as leaves floating away on a river. Or picture them written in sand and a wave coming ashore to wash them away. You get the picture.
9. Find your peace. Find a way to center yourself, cope with stress, and focus on the present moment. Sing and dance with abandon to your favorite song. Take a bubble bath. Go for a long run or bike ride. Try yoga. Meditate. Talk to a counselor. The purpose is to purge your self of those emotional toxins.
10. Have something to look forward to. It is hard to move past the past if you have nothing to look forward to. Set a goal to work towards. Learn a new skill or hobby. Plan a vacation. Whatever it is, envision your future self and work towards that rather than remaining fixed in your past self.
"You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles." ― C. JoyBell C.

This is the third in a series about religious institutions on Shelter Island.
According to Shelter Island Presbyterian Church's newly appointed Pastor Bob Griffin, all religions are alike in that they identify a problem and propose a solution.
The problem today? Existential duress, the kind that Pastor Griffin believes is symptomatic of "way too many people all over the media telling you what you are and who you should be." (more…)

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are well. In the midst of the chaos that is my life this week I managed to carve out a bit of time to work on my altered book so thought I'd share it with you.
The book itself is a fantasy art book I picked up at a boot fair ages ago because it has some illustrations of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in it that I have loved since I was 2 bricks and a tikkie high (Good old SA saying meaning very small!)
A while ago I decided that I would work on the book and alter it by working over the images I didn't want and creating my own collection of art that speaks to me as well as making my own art on the pages too.
So here are the first two finished pages.
Before I go I must tell you that The Craft Barn has an AMAZING follower candy; over £150.00 worth of fab goodies for one lucky follower. Click the picture on the top right side of my blog to get all the details! If you don't follow yet then I can tell you that you are missing out on some fabulous tutorials and inspiration!
Have a truly blessed day today. I need to go Uni shopping!

History of the manor | our ghosts | current sightings
In 1834, Shubal Scudder Merritt bought 205 acres from the Holland Land Company. He built a log cabin and moved his family onto the property. Sophia Spencer Willson and he had been married in 1830 and their son Lewis Willson was born in 1832. Eventually, he built a frame house and two more children were born, Phoebe Sophia and Cordelia Marie.
As he became more profitable, his wife wanted a house to reflect this. In 1854 he built a brick home. Lewis enrolled in the University of Rochester, but the two girls moved into the family home. Sophia died in the home in 1864. The following year, Lewis also died in the home. Shubal lived there until 1881, when he died on March 2.
The daughters inherited the house. Phoebe Sophia and her husband, Lucius Adams, bought Cordelia's portion and ran the farm with a series of caretakers.
In 1895, Dr Charles A. Ring purchased the home. His wife, Hannah Denelia Ripley Farwell, wanted to move out of Buffalo and the two had the dream of farming. In Buffalo, they lived on Fargo Avenue, a few doors up from Hannah's father, Reverend Allen Plumb Ripley and his second wife, Florella Celesta Morse. They became very successful peach farmers, participating in many research projects through Cornell University. In June, 1907, Hannah died in the home. Charles remained in home he named Appleton Hall. In January 1908, he filed a new will naming Elia Estelle Morse (Florella's younger half sister) as the recipient of the home. On February 28, 1908, he died, supposedly of heart disease. Estelle, as she was called, promptly moved into the house with her widowed sister, Florella. Florella died in the home in September, 1908.
In 1909, Estelle married John Farmer Whitwell, a widower who had helped farm the property. They lived in the house until 1922, when the moved to West Somerset, NY. Various sales of the home fell through and it went into foreclosure.
On July 19, 1933, Mr. Calahan from M & T Bank visited Mother Constantia Driscoll of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The Sisters were at their summer home, St. Mary's, in Olcott. As teachers of the deaf, the Sisters were considering a vocational farm school for the boys in their school in Buffalo. Mother Constantia and a group of sisters looked at the property, just a few miles up the road. On the lake was a cabin that resembled the order's first home in Carondelet, Missouri. They promptly purchased the property to use as a camp for girls, farm school for deaf boys and summer retreat for themselves. They owned it until 1993.
David P. Gardner of Gardner Graphics purchased the property for his business and later his residence.
Ten years later, in 2003, Margo Sue Bittner bought it to use as a winery. The Winery at Marjim Manor produces fruit wines, and also rents out rooms for parties and receptions. It has a local reputation as a haunted house and was featured on the television series Ghost Hunters and on the Travel Channel series Most Terrifying Places in America.

The AlphaBetter Desk is making the news with its unique ability to get students standing and moving while in class. Check out the video: California School Children Step Up to Standing Desks

Alzheimer's disease (AD), is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. It is the cause of 60% to 70% of cases of dementia. There is growing interest in identifying brain image biomarkers that help evaluate AD risk pre-symptomatically. High-dimensional non-linear pattern classification methods have been applied to structural magnetic resonance images (MRI's) and used to discriminate between clinical groups in Alzheimers progression. Using Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) as the pre- ferred imaging modality, this thesis develops two independent machine learning based patch analysis methods and uses them to perform six binary classification …

Cabbage: Arms of Pleonexia – Review
Roll up! Roll up! Cabbage have just announced the date for their debut album. 'Nihilistic Glamour Shots' will be released on 30th March 2018. If you haven't come across Cabbage before, they have a unique sound which spans political truth, catchy late 70s punk rock and poetry. Cabbage are everything at 21st century Mancunian band should be.
'Arms of Pleonexia' is catchy and thought-provoking for new fans and a triumphant return to form for members of the Cabij community. 'Arms of Pleonexia' is a scathing response to the greed and wealth associated with a hyper-globalised society. 'How long until we take responsibility?' indeed. Unlike most other up and coming indie bands, Cabbage do not shy away from political commentary. As a result, 'Arms of Pleonexia' is probably the most exciting single of 2018 and if their debut album is remotely similar we're in for a treat.
Make sure you catch Cabbage in Stoke when they return to The Sugarmill on Friday 2nd February – https://www.seetickets.com/event/cabbage/the-sugarmill/.

What's the Purpose of Grades? Task Force Clarifies
Members of the WDMCS Effective Grading Practices Task Force have defined why students in our schools receive grades.
"The purpose of grades is to communicate the level of achievement of course standards to students and parents," according to a statement the task force approved at its meeting on November 30.
WDMCS Superintendent Lisa Remy, Ed.D. said clarifying the purpose of grading helps the task force in its work to research, identify, and recommend effective grading practices for the district.
Members of the task force developed several versions, which were narrowed down to two. They then voted on two statements with 29 out of 31 task force members present supporting the approved purpose statement.
The next Effective Grading Practices meeting will be held on at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2017, in the Community Room at the Learning Resource Center, 3550 Mills Civic Parkway, in West Des Moines. To stay up-to-date with the task force's work, please visit www.wdmcs.org/category/grading-practices/. Meeting minutes and summaries will continue to be posted there. All meetings are open to the public.

How to create and calculate an ROI on Social Media
As a leading business school we are very well aware of the controversial discussions that one should not calculate an ROI on relationships. And we are equally aware of the fact that major investments will not be made unless a serious financial ROI can be presented. We worked for approximately two years to develop a methodology to calculate a robust financial ROI for social media investments.
Unlike the typical marketing ROI, where the return is often measured in leads, eyeballs or other intangible values, it was our objective to calculate a financial ROI where we have a Financial Return on a Financial Investment.
Initial Work
In search of a robust method for Social Media ROI we started with social media's closest ancestor "marketing" and tried to find well-proven methods for marketing ROI. Search engine results for "Marketing ROI method" were quite unexpected. While random key strokes like "dfasdf" returned 172,000 findings, Marketing ROI method returned only 3 and they were actually irrelevant. In other words there are no recognized methods for calculating marketing ROI. One may argue: Is there a ROI for bookkeeping? No. Is there a ROI for facilities management? No. Is there a ROI on producing business cards or creating a logo? No. Is there a ROI on providing support to our customers? No. Financially speaking, those are "Cost of doing business".
Social Media Effects
In social media we have a few very powerful mechanisms like customer referrals, customer advocacy, customer content contribution and several other contributing factors which all help a company financially to make substantial improvements. On the other side, there are significant investments to be made in order to get to those financial improvements and as such calculating an ROI became paramount.
Requirements to calculate a financial ROI
In order to calculate a sound financial ROI we need to be able to gather data that can tell us who and what business that was acquired can actually be tracked back to the corresponding cost incurring activities.
How to get to the data?
Probably the most challenging part for most less experienced social media manager is to get to the actual data in order to be able to calculate an ROI. Unlike in traditional marketing where it is very hard and often times impossible to measure the impact of a campaign or initiative in social media we exactly know our ecosystem – assuming we are truly social. If however social media is just seen as yet another channel to pump through information we not only failed to understand social media, we would also not be able to calculate an ROI.
Now – we have to get to two key data points: The investment cost into our ecosystem and the contribution margin from the very ecosystem that was created:
Interaction Cost (IC)
When we sum up the "Interaction Cost" we need to take any cost we have when interacting with the given ecosystem. That means community systems, social media monitoring systems, cost of any initiatives, content creation, rewards and most importantly the human resource cost to actually interact and work with that ecosystem. In a fully empowered social media organization we would add the sales team, marketing team, support team cost into that equation.
Ecosystem Definition
The next step is to exactly define the actual ecosystem we are talking about. Given a social media strategy exists and there are clearly defined engagement rules it should be rather easy to list all members in the ecosystem we are servicing and engaging with. In other words If we have 50 people in an ecosystem that may consist of LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, our Blog and maybe a community, we know exactly who we are dealing with. And as mentioned earlier, if we only blast information into a Twitter channel and we have no idea who we are talking to, we won't be able to calculate an ROI – but that isn't a social engagement either.
Contribution Margin (CM)
Finally we compare the members of the ecosystem with our accounting records and need to find matches. If the contribution margin from the people in our ecosystem is less than the cost we invested, we have a negative ROI. If our Interaction Cost (IC) is less than the Contribution Margin (CM) we generate, we have a positive ROI.
– A company generates $ 4 Million contribution margin (CM) from revenue of $12 Million through business from people that company knows through their respective groups and communities.
– The company's Interaction Cost (IC) of $3 Million to manage and service the communities with teams, technology, initiatives, programs and other resources is on the investment side
The SMACAD ROI Formula
Without going into the actual social media methodologies, here is a financially accurate ROI calculation for Social Media:
Contribution Margin (CM) in currency generated from customers within the known social media ecosystem in correlation to the Interaction Cost (IC) to maintain that ecosystem.
What it takes to get there
I guess you get the general idea how to calculate a robust financial ROI for social media. This model works across departments as well as for specific campaigns. Many businesses today (2011) are still experimenting with their social media engagements and usually have no ROI out of their experiments. However, in order to use social media to gain a competitive advantage it is critical to calculate an ROI also as a means to measure performance. Top notch businesses try to reach an ROI above 100% and even define it as a KPI.
The five most important steps to create a high impact social media strategy with a high ROI:
1) Assessment Model
Make a thorough assessment of your current ecosystem (see four quadrant assessment model)
Fully understand where you are in the social web and what needs to be done to make a serious impact.
If you fail to have a clear assessment you won't know what the key issues are, only assume your situation and build on it like in traditional marketing. Creating a high impact strategy would be next to impossible and the ROI would most likely be negative.
2) Strategy Framework
Develop a social media strategy together with your ecosystem (see strategy hexagon)
Your high impact social media strategy is based on the findings of the assessment and co-created with your ecosystem that will help you embrace your strategy. High ROI is possible through the best leverage of internal and external resources and joint benefits shared with the ecosystem. High ROI means an ROI above 100%. If you fail to develop a high impact strategy – your programs will be degraded to tactical measures to participate in the social media "game" with typically rather low participation and a negative ROI.
3) Programs
When building social media programs keep the ROI model in mind. Develop programs that allow easily to calculate an ROI out of the program by measuring network development, contribution and participation (See the NCP Model). Co-created programs are typically way more successful that home grown programs and as such extend the ROI calculation to the co-creating members of the program team.
4) Organization Model
Make sure you develop a very clear organization model – otherwise you won't be able to calculate your IC (see comstar model). Create a crystal clear social engagement model for the internal team, understand the human resource cost and assign it to the "Interaction Cost". Teams who develop social media programs as part of a marketing campaign where the rest of the company continues with "business as usual" usually show no or negative ROI or develop a misleading ROI calculation.
5) Reporting Tools
Have the tools in place that allow you to capture your entire ecosystem and allow to compare it with your accounting system (I.e. Xeesm). As mentioned above, one of the most critical parts of a robust ROI calculation is being able to aggregate the correct data to actually do that calculation. In order to compare business from the social eco systems with business coming from other sources, the business from social media must be clearly identifiable. Since the team is supposed to know every member of the ecosystem, it can take them into a list and compare the list with the results of the internal accounting systems. Xeesm is a unique system that not only allows to compare ecosystem members with revenue accounting but also tracks engagement intensity to be able to dive deeper in team efficiency and profitability by customer.
Ask your social media consultant about their capabilities to create a robust financial ROI. Make sure you not only barely scratch the surface but get to an ROI above 100%. Those high ROIs are your early investor advantage. In the next 10 years your social media ROI will gradually shrink due to the fact that every competitor will be engaged and social media will be as mainstream as using the Internet, computers or a telephone.

Although the White Sands International Film Festival is already over, I am finishing up my coverage on some of the events and films. As the official blog for coverage of WSIFF, I had the privilege of meeting several filmmakers and actors. This is the first of three remaining spotlights that will post from WSIFF followed by a recap with photos. (Look for the remaining posts this week.)
Enjoy today's spotlight and review of the festival's Audience Choice Runner-Up: Against the Grain.
Against the Grain (IMDB page)
Directed by Elias Mael, Against the Grain was one of the official selections for The White Sands International Film Festival in the category of "Feature." It played twice (as were all "features") and impressed me and I was happy to have the chance to meet with and interview director Elias Mael and the lead actor Vaughn Wilkinson.
Below you will find my review of Against the Grain (which posted previously on this site) and my interview with Elias Mael and Vaughn Wilkinson (accompanied by friend, assistant and supporter Marquitta Cooper) who I had the pleasure of speaking with about this film.
Review: (Originally posted on August 28, 2013 HERE)
Working against the grain to break the chains of stereotypes and sitting on the stoop, Isaiah Johnson leaves inner city Oakland to attend college with aspirations to be a neurosurgeon one day. Facing challenges from without and within, including peer pressure from "the boys," an ailing mother, drive-by shootings, misunderstandings with the judicial system, trying to "get the girl" and fighting to be judged by more than just where he comes from or the color of his skin, Isaiah faces more in his first year of college than most people may in their entire life.
With elements seemingly taken straight from the pages of a Tyler Perry play, Against the Grain goes a step further and carries a level of truth and emotion with it that creates genuine empathy and sympathy with multiple characters. Both the dialogue and the acting are executed well and make this feature already seem as if it were one produced and distributed by Hollywood. It is not without its opportunities but the way in which it touches the heart and challenges the mind is unforgettable.
(According to the IMDB page, "At the acclaimed 2013 Pan African Film Festival, the film was so popular, a third screening was added." It also "Premiered at the Hollywood Black Film Festival, in Hollywood, CA and won the Audience Award and Feature Film Honorable Mention.")
Terrence: First of all, congratulations on your film's acceptance as an official selection into the White Sands International Film Festival. I really enjoyed watching it.
Elias: Thank you very much.
Vaughn: Thank you.
TFF: Against the Grain is a touching film that I found to be relatable. I felt that I knew the characters because I know people exactly like a lot of those in the film. Can you share how the film came to be?
VW: Yes, a lot of people have said the same thing in that they "know" the people in the film.
EM: I wanted to tell a universal story to all races and borders…a human story. One that is authentic about being plucked from your comfort zone such as Isaiah was when he was put into the prestigious university.
TFF: Well, it really comes through with the characters and the fact that the actors did so well portraying the reality of the situations is a testament to your writing and story.
EM: Well, thank you. I think too many films are sugarcoated and I wanted to tell a real story.
TFF: What was the inspiration for the film? Is it based, in part, on some of your own experiences?
EM: In part, yes. There are several personal experiences of my own in the film. I spoke with several friends that attended UCLA that had some of the same story and was compelled to tell it. Along with my producing partner Mayon Denton who helped tremendously, I wrote the story.
TFF: So you did the writing and the directing and the…
EM: Pretty much everything…with the support of a great cast and crew. It was a great opportunity to make the movie I wanted to make without interference for the vision I had for the film. It is my first feature film.
TFF: Wow. And it is so well done. One of the things that just works so well is the cast…including Vaughn who is here with us. How did you find such great talent to tell your story?
EM: We held auditions for two weeks and when Vaughn auditioned it was his emotion and sincerity that really sold me. He was even able to tear up in the audition.
VW: It really was easier to work on set because of the actors I had the opportunity to work with while filming. From the talented actress who played Nicolette's character, to my "homeboys" in the film, to my "father," they were all amazing and we had such chemistry that we all were able to be "in the moment" and it never felt like acting.
EM: And we rehearsed for two weeks in order to give the actors time to mold their characters and form a familiarity and a bond with one another.
TFF: Was everything in the script, as far as dialogue, pretty much exactly as written, or was there quite a bit of leeway there?
EM: It was all pretty much exactly as written.
VW: There was a balance to a degree. We stuck with what was written but still felt the freedom to explore what the characters felt and experienced.
EM: I wanted the lines to feel real and told the actors at times that if it didn't feel real then not to say anything.
TFF: One of my favorite scenes in the film, Vaughn, is when your character arrives at college and "dictates" the sleeping arrangements with his new roommate.
EM: That scene actually played out exactly how I had it in my head. It was based on a personal experience in college and I really wanted to make sure early that it was in the script.
TFF: And how long did you all work on the film?
EM: Well, we shot for a total of about four weeks…30 days in the space of two months…in Los Angeles and on a low budget.
TFF: Oh, so the story is based in Oakland but was actually shot in Los Angeles?
EM: Yes. We were blessed to find a street corner so similar to the Oakland neighborhood that I was depicting that people from my hometown (I'm from Oakland) actually thought we had filmed in Oakland!
TFF: Wow. Well, I have a random question for all of you. I like to ask everyone. Who is your favorite superhero?
EM: Well, I don't want to be boring, but I don't have one. There are so many real ones in the world so I don't spend time fantasizing about ones that don't exist.
(laughter by all at the table)
TFF: and you, Vaughn?
VW: Well, how do you follow that? I mean. I probably would choose Spider-Man because he is just so fast and elusive.
TFF: Vaughn, you are a man close to my heart. We can be best friends forever! BFFs! And how about you Cooper?
MC: Me? Well, Wonder Woman of course! 🙂
TFF: I'm still waiting for a WW movie. Hopefully one day soon!
TFF: So, Vaughn, your acting really is what sold me on your character and made him very relatable to myself actually. Was this your first acting job? and where can we look for you in the future?
VW: Well first of all, thank you so much. And, no, it wasn't my first. I actually had the opportunity to be in an episode of 90210 where you can spot me as a correctional officer. I also was in Hollywood Chaos with Vanessa Simmons. As far as future projects: I am writing some stuff which is really cool to have that perspective. I am working on a pilot. But I am not stopping acting either. My grandmother is my inspiration as she encouraged me to do what I really want to do. And this opportunity was so great to take back to her and show her. I am still constantly auditioning for roles in both TV and film. You can see me in a commercial even for Red Robin.
TFF: Yumm!! 🙂 And, for you Elias? What is in the future for you?
EM: I am writing a lot of scripts actually and seeking funding for them. I am currently focusing on a project about human trafficking and organ harvesting in East Africa. It is ambitious as it entails events in five different countries, so I am talking to investors.
TFF: Ambition is a good thing. What filmmakers serve as inspirations for you?
EM: I am a big fan of Ron Howard, David Fincher, Danny Boyle, Spike Lee, Jon Singleton and a few others.
TFF: Howard? Oh I am so excited to see Rush.
EM: I have seen it already. You will like it.
TFF: I'm so envious. I can't wait. If you could tell those who will be reading this interview anything, what would you like to relay to them about Against the Grain.
EM: Look for the video release sometime in the new year and I encourage you to go to the official site and the Facebook page to stay abreast of the release date and be aware of when it is out on Video OnDemand. It is a human story that anyone can relate to, regardless of race, and we are honored to have people watch it.
VW: Yes, everybody that has seen it has loved it. If you want to see a positive uplifting story about life's challenges and persevering then you'll want to…have to…see this movie. I've probably seen it 20 times already.
TFF: Do you have a favorite part?
VW: Yes, the cinematography and the essence shown through it in a scene where my character walks outside with his best friend and they are leaning on a car is just amazing. It captures the essence and the entire scene of the hood. The trauma and drama of that scene is still my favorite.
TFF: Well, I want to thank you…all of you…for sharing your wonderful film here at the festival and for taking the time to share a little bit about yourselves and your work. I look forward to more from your careers and am excited about where you are headed.

Ask Sujeiry: Coping with His Ex If She's Married to His BFF?
What do you do when your boyfriend's ex-girlfriend is his friends wife? And she's nasty to you? Some relationship advice for a woman in this predicament.
Dear Sujeiry,
My boyfriend and I have been on and off for a little over a year now. The on-and-off part was due to a few issues – the biggest being his ex-girlfriend. They were together for three years and I have to deal with her because she ended up marrying his best friend. Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking, "Girl, she's married now. Why does anything matter?"
Well, she still keeps in contact with his mom and sister. They have lunches together and such. When I'm around her and say hi just to be polite, she rolls her eyes. Also, this might be petty but she likes almost every single one of his Instagram posts except for the ones that I am in. She even told him that I was not allowed at her wedding.
As for my relationship, things are AMAZING now. It's almost too good to be true. I'm scared that the next time we have to hang out with her he is going to revert into forgetting about me when she is around.

So, what do I do? She is part of his clique. She will always be around. I do not want to bring her up to him because I know it will start a fight. I don't know what to do. This girl has become a disease in my mind. I hate that she is around and will remain in his life regardless of our relationship. I feel like she knows that she will always be around him and I won't. Therefore she feels like she is a priority over me. How can I resolve this issue?
The Ex That's Married to His BFF
Dear The Ex That's Married to His BFF,
I don't think you're being unreasonable even if she is married to his best friend. That alone is a doozy. But I do believe that you have allowed her to push your buttons. You said it yourself – she's like a disease. You don't want your man to make her a priority over you? Stop making her an important part of your relationship and your life. Stop thinking about her as this threat. You are focusing on her way too much. And that is seeping into your relationship and making you paranoid.
I'm not saying it's easy. Your situation sucks! I don't like the men that I am seeing or dating seriously to be good friends with their exes. However, it is unrealistic to expect this, or demand it. I believe that if you didn't feel insecure in other ways in your relationship, her relationship with him wouldn't affect you as much as it does. What other issues are you going through that make her so threatening?
[ALSO READ: Uh-Oh! What To Do When You Like Your Friend's Man]
You're right. She will be in his life forever. You have to accept it and really become okay with it all. So try to befriend her. Ask her out to lunch. I know – terrible! But perhaps you need to build some kind of connection with her so your man knows that you're trying. If she doesn't budge and is still being nasty, you can tell your man what's really going on. You should be able to speak to him about this especially when you are putting in effort to make the situation more tolerable. If he still takes her side, you may have a bigger problem on your hands. You want your man to have your back in this situation and others that may arise. He may just not be that guy. Or your guy, for that matter.
Love strong and wisely,

INTERNET expert and former Telikom acting chief executive officer Noel Mobiha says there is no guarantee that internet rates will be going down, despite Telikom reducing wholesale charges by 68%.
Mobiha, a former University of Technology academic who was the first administrator for the PNG internet names registry and one of a handful of people responsible for the introduction of Internet, said it was very encouraging to hear of Telikom board chairman Mahesh Patel and CEO Charles Litau's immediate response to drop the price by 68% – from 9t to 3t per megabyte (MB).
|Noel Mobiha
"It is similar to paying for water that is consumed in a house as metred by the water metre," Mobiha explained, "or similar to paying for power as per the EsiPay power metre.
"Now, with the new rate of 3t, ISPs will be paying a lease price for a pipe size (bandwidth) connecting them and Telikom PNG.
"The issue here is: What is the condition of that contract for the bandwidth lease?
"If the lease is for a bandwidth that is going to be utilised 100% of the time, then the ISPs and subsequently the users will be the losers on this deal as they will be paying more.
"How is this so, one may ask?
"This is because statistically the ISPs download pattern averages around 30% from Telikom in a month.
"If Telikom does not consider the download patterns of the ISPs and imposes a 100% price for a bandwidth that is 30% utilised, simple math would show that the new cost would be closer to 10t per megabyte.
"This would be more expensive than what it is right now at 9t per MB.
"If, however, Telikom charges an allocated bandwidth at an utilisation factor of 30% range with an upgrade option once reached, then the rates would be as announced of 3t per MB as wholesale to the ISPs, resulting in a much cheaper rate to the end users.
"It is also important that ISPs must reflect the savings to the end users."
Mobiha said Patel, the board, Litau and Telikom management knew that there were technical and economic issues that need addressing within Telikom.
"These issues, which are internal, must be addressed immediately so that it will improve service delivery, significantly increase speed of internet to users in PNG and subsequently give Telikom the savings to reduce costs even further," he said.
Mobiha, who has held several key telecommunications positions since leaving Unitech in 2002, is now a freelance ICT consultant.

Tear the bread into rough croutons and spread over a baking dish, then drizzle with olive oil, rubbing it with a little salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, turning the croutons occasionally until evenly browned on both sides.
For the dressing, mash the anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl. Grate a handful of Parmesan and mix with the crushed garlic, mayonnaise, and white wine vinegar. If the dressing is a thicker consistency than yogurt, all in a little water to thin slightly.
Dice the avocado halves into thick chunks. Place the shredded lettuce into a bowl, shred the chicken breasts into pieces, and scatter half over the leaves, along with half the croutons and the avocados. Add most of the dressing and toss to combine. Scatter the rest of the chicken and croutons on top, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle the Parmesan shavings on top and serve.

I must admit that I love outfits in two colours. There is nothing simpler that mixing two colours and items from different styles to get that casual yet sophisticated look.
I chose my Celine tee from SugarShop mixed with tribal necklace from Oka Jewelry, tuxedo blazer and dirty beige jeans from Kurtmann.ro. The Chanel espadrilles and the quilted bag went hand in hand this time.
Also got my new Pandora bracelet and the LOVE charm from their Essence collection.
I was wearing:

Sleek Recycled Bikes That Look Like New, by Monochrome
Photos: Courtesy of Monochrome.
It's no news that buying second-hand anything is greener than getting something new, as you're not using more energy and raw materials for another product. However, not everything used is good looking enough for the aesthetics inclined.
With Monochrome Recycled Bikes, however, you get the best of both worlds: a previously owned bike that looks as cool as a new one. Find out more inside.
Monochrome is an initiative by Argentine designers Natan Burta and Alejandro Sanguinetti, who sought to rescue the high quality of old bikes with a new, fresh identity.
According to the designers, only 20% of the energy needed to produce a new bike is used in the recycling process of one of theirs'.
The bikes are painted with water-based inks, and given new stainless steel handles (avoiding the use of chrome). They're also given a new hand-sewed leather seat, something I'm not particularly thrilled about as a vegetarian, but I guess they can offer a vegan alternative.
Of course, recycling bikes is not a groundbreaking idea: we've seen bike cooperatives in LA, a massive bike warehouse in the UK, and countless amazing customizations of fixed-gear bikes.
The interesting part of Monochrome is, of course, the identity: how the designers could create a brand from the vast diversity of the bike jungle in Buenos Aires, and provide trend-seekers with a cool alternative that also rescues something old.
Besides the brand, of course, these images provide some inspiration if you want to grab a second hand bike and give it a new look.
There are five prototypes of Monochrome so far, and the designers are about to start producing in the next few months. For more info on Monochrome, take a look at their website.

AceShowbiz - Janet Jackson will be honoured with the Global Icon Award at the 2018 MTV European Music Awards.
The singer will perform a medley of her greatest hits at the upcoming ceremony in Bilbao, Spain, including her most recent track with Daddy Yankee, "Made for Now".
Having established herself as a pop icon in the 1980s and going on to become one of the best-selling artists of all time, the event's organisers were delighted to announce her as this year's recipient of the prestigious accolade.
"Janet is without question one of the world's biggest stars," Bruce Gillmer, global head of music and talent, Viacom and co-brand head, MTV International, said in a statement. "Her incredible artistry has opened doors for countless others while leaving an indelible impact on pop culture - well over three decades and counting. We're thrilled to honour her as this year's MTV Global Icon."
Earlier this year, the 52-year-old won the Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards and the BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, as well as the Rock Star Award at the Black Girls Rock! Awards, and the Impact Award at the Radio Disney Music Awards.
Janet has previously received five Grammy Awards and 11 American Music Awards, on top of Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for her original song "Again", from the soundtrack of 1993 film "Poetic Justice".
The "All for You" hitmaker has achieved global sales of over 160 million records and recently received her third nomination for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The MTV EMAs will take place on November 4 and air across MTV's global network of channels. Actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld has been tapped to host the ceremony.

File under "nifty": Domain Dots
Hey there. I just wanted to file a quick post and let you know about a couple interesting ways that may help you get more out of using Blue Dot. The two things I'm going to tell you about tonight are both variations on a theme - getting Dots for a particular domain (website). 1) Using Blue Dot search - you can narrow search results on Blue Dot to return Dots only from a specific domain. For instance, imagine that you want to see all of the Dots from Amazon.com that have the word music in them. You could type the following into the search box: site:www.amazon.com music I got 439 results for that one. Click this to try the search for yourself and see if your community has Dotted any music from Amazon. Pretty nifty, eh? There's only one thing you have to keep in mind on these searches - sometimes the domain you want to search is indexed with a "www" and sometimes it's not. If you're getting zero results where you expect to be seeing some, that could be the issue. 2) Bookmarklet fun - now this one is something a bunch of us have been using internally for a while and thought you might enjoy. If you add the following "Domain Dots" bookmarklet to your bookmarks, you can press it while you're on any website and it will show you all of your friends' Dots from that site. It's pretty fun to have your friends' knowledge a click away from wherever you are: Domain Dots In IE, just right-click the link above and save it to your bookmarks. In Firefox, you can either right-click and save -or- you can just drag the link to your bookmarks bar. Let me know what you think of these features and keep sending us your ideas. Cheers!

Crescent Island is a volcanic isle in the eastern Fire Nation that once housed a temple for the Fire Sages and a shrine to Avatar Roku.
In 55 BG, Avatar Roku remained on this island for five months for spiritual training with Fire Sage Kaja in order to try to master the Avatar State. However, instead of listening to Kaja's teaching, an impatient Roku triggered the Avatar State by using the winter solstice sun, which resulted in the destruction of the upper half of the temple and the eruption of the nearby volcano on the island.
Team Avatar visited the island in 99 AG after Avatar Roku's dragon, Fang, told Aang to come there in order to contact Roku.[1] There, at the island's temple, the fire Avatar told his young successor about the impending arrival of Sozin's Comet and subsequently destroyed the building with lavabending in an effort to expel the Fire Nation soldiers that had invaded the island.[2] After this, the lava never stopped flowing and the island became uninhabited.[3]
Several months later, Aang washed ashore on the island after having braved a storm and his friends found him there lying unconsciously on the beach. After his broken glider staff washed ashore as well, Aang let the lava of the island consume the object that would otherwise reveal his identity as the Avatar while traversing the Fire Nation and left with his friends to continue their journey to defeat the Fire Lord.[4]
Fire Temple
- Main article: Fire Temple
The Fire Temple was a five-tiered pagoda that sat on a hill near the volcano's base, managed by a small group of Fire Sages. After Avatar Roku destroyed the temple in 55 BG, he rebuilt it and it was here that he perfected his use of the Avatar State.[5] After his death, the temple was rededicated to him. The ancient temple used mechanisms that required firebending to operate. The temple was destroyed again when Aang channeled Roku's spirit to face the threat that was awaiting him at the Fire Temple directly following the winter solstice.[2]
The sanctuary was built to receive a shaft of sunlight through a giant ruby at sundown on the winter solstice. Avatar Roku meditated in this sanctuary with Fire Sage Kaja to learn to master the Avatar State, and it was here that Roku become stuck in the Avatar State while using the spiritual energy from the sun during the winter solstice.
At the time of the winter solstice the light from the ruby illuminated the statue of Avatar Roku, making it possible to communicate with him. When Avatar Roku was alive, the previous generations of sages used the sanctuary to communicate with him on the solstice,[3] but now only the Avatar is able to communicate with Avatar Roku. The sanctuary doors protected the sanctuary from intruders; they could only be opened by either a fully realized Avatar or with five simultaneous fire blasts.[2]
