In his book, Sex, Bombs & Burgers, Peter Nowak describes how the world as we know it is shaped by the three primal forces of lust, aggression and gluttony. This is not a new notion, as more than 2500 years ago, Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus wrote:
War is father of all things (Πόλεμος πάντων μὲν πατήρ ἐστι)
Nowak takes the old saying from the ancient one a step further and adds lust and gluttony as major drivers for technological advancement. He argues that if it wasn't for sex, bombs and burgers, what he calls the 'Shameful Trinity', we might all still be living in caves. From cars to high-definition televisions, from website logins to microwave popcorn, the origins of all technological advancement can be traced to sinful behaviour.
This books shows that progress is not driven by rational drives for progress itself, but that we are driven by our emotions. We can take dig a little deeper into Nowak's Shameful Trinity and uncover what since early Christian times has been called the Seven Deadly Sins. Although Christian theology tries to eradicate these seven aspects of humanity from our lives, they are actually what drives us to be who we are. In The Divine Comedy, Dante describes the seven sins as:
Gula (gluttony)
Food is our primary need and has for millennia been the source of many innovations. Our stone age ancestors invented farming and started the neolithical revolution. An in our current times, high tech genetic technology is used to ensure people's survival and high profits for food companies. The other innovation that food technology has introduced to contemporary society is the strict implementation of scientific management, following in the footsteps of Frederick Taylor. In fast food outlets every second counts and companies such as McDonalds have pioneered many management techniques that shave of those extra few seconds to deliver their fast 'food' even faster.
Luxuria (extravagance)
The original list of sins included fornication. But in AD 590 the pope of the time replaced it with extravagance. Lust, or porneia (Πορνεία) in ancient Greek, drives much of our culture. The pornography industry has played a major role in the proliferation of many technologies. Not as the progenitor, but as an early adopter and influence of the market. In the 1980s, when the Betamax and VHS video formats were battling it out for supremacy, the pornography industry played a big role in making VHS the most popular format. A similar 'battle' is currently being waged over which of the two blue-laser DVD formats — Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD — will replace DVDs for high-definition content.
Avaritia (greed)
Unrestrained accumulation of wealth is the basic premise of capitalist philosophy. The idea of unbridled economic growth logically requires an unrestrained desire to buy stuff. Adam Smith postulated an invisible hand. This principle is what allocates resources in society through the conjunction of self-interest, competition and supply & demand. That this invisible hand can not fully self regulate has become apparent in the Global Financial Crisis, which was caused by greed in an unregulated financial system.
Acedia (sloth)
Sloth is a major driver in our quest for technology. Palaeolithic people decided it would be much better to stay in one place rather than moving around all the time so they invented farming. Technology is supposed to make our lives easier — from reclining chairs to snowmobiles, technology allows us to be extremely lazy.
Ira (wrath)
Wrath is the justification for many wars. The first World War started because of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and the current Middle Eastern wars are caused by the wrath incurred because of the terrorist attacks in 2001. The causes of war are, however, mostly more complicated. Long term motives such as colonial expansion in the first and the thirst for oil in the second examples,are possibly the real causes.
Invidia (envy)
The state of envy can be an amazing motivator to improve your own existence. Envying your bosses' position might drive somebody to perform better and undertake further studies to improve the chances of a promotion. Envy can of course also result in destructive behaviour and is one of the causes of war. Germany envied the allies because of the wealth accumulated through their colonies and thought it would be a good idea to start a war.
Superbia (pride)
Last but not least, pride is one of the great drivers in the fashion industry. Sociologist Goffman agreed with Shakespeare that all the world is but a stage. Goffman described the world as one large play in which we are all actors. As such we need props to communicate our identity to the outside world. In an society where the old anchors have been cut everybody has to seek their own identity and shopping provides the perfect replacement for tradition and religion. We buy certain brands, nit because they are necessarily better than another brand, but because we identify with it. It is the pride in ourselves that is one of the major drivers in our shopping behaviour.
Beyond good and evil
You might think that I have a negative view of humanity by claiming that our lives are driven by what are commonly considered sins.
But this post is not about what is good or bad, it is merely stating the sociological facts of the human condition. The facts are that not our quest for world peace or the admirable aim to make poverty history are the real drivers of progress. It is those behaviours and states of mind that some seek out to eradicate from humanity that makes us human.
This illustrates that the world is much more complex than simple religious philosophy could ever encapsulate.
The boundaries between good and bad are often faded and we need to seek beyond good and evil to find philosophical truth.

If one is single and flirts with another single person, I think, that's still reasonable. But for an attached person to flirt around, it's asking for trouble. Yeah sure, it's all in the name of fun. However, it always starts just with that innocent touch, that innocent look, that innocent flirt. You may very well mean nothing more, nothing less but it can be misconstrued and it can lead to something definitely more than harmless.
We all know that cheating at the highest level is sleeping with someone who's not your partner. Touching inappropriately even without going all the way is still cheating no matter how you want to rationalise it and this is just talking about physical cheating.
"What about emotional cheating and how far is far?".
What about stray thoughts? Even fleeting ones? How about dreams? After all, many feels that dreams cannot be controlled, hence, not deemed as cheating.
I have always told Mr. C that he can never share any arguments we have with any girl. Yeah sure, he can go gripe about it with his guy pals and bitch about me all he wants but he can NEVER ever share stuff about him and I with any girls. It's not to say that I want to be controlling or am paranoid but if he or I goes outside our relationship to find solace in others to feed his emotional needs, it will shake the bonds that holds us together.
When you start finding solace with someone other than your partner, usually the opposite sex, it leads to trouble. An emotional affairs tend to start innocently as friendship. I used to believe in platonic friendships between a guy and a girl and I still do. However, the invisible line or a boundary should always be set and never be crossed.
For me, I believe that emotional cheating usually tends to lead up to full blown sexual infidelity. And emotional cheating can be more damaging as it involves one's emotions and as we all know, we, humans especially us girls, are very emotional beings. Physical cheating is tough enough to overcome but when it comes to emotional cheating, some simply find it tough to heal from it.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you prefer to hang out with this guy/girl more than your own partner, it's time to start evaluating yourself and give yourself a reality check. Talk it out with your partner. Having an open and honest relationship is crucial. Stop spending time with that guy/girl or at least, no more one-on-one meet ups.

Hold Me Until Forever is the third book in the Grayson Brothers Series. If you read the first two books in the series, you know that the two younger Graysons were featured in their own books and have already found their loves. Alex is the oldest sibling and the last one to find his true love. If you haven't read the first two books in the series, you don't need to, you can start right here. There might be some very mild spoilers from the first two books but nothing that should really prevent you from reading out of order.
This book is Alex and Ella's story. This is a "little sister of my best friend" novel with a side of BDSM. I think you will like this book but there isn't much about it that will distinguish it from similar books with the 'off limits' little sister theme. Alex has been pining away for Ella for years. As his attraction to her grows so do his efforts to hide it. Of course what happens with that is that Alex goes too far in the wrong direction and basically ignores Ella. Ella spends the very first part of the book thinking that Alex either doesn't notice her or doesn't like her. In an interesting twist, Ella is Alex's assistant at work and she recognizes her attraction to Alex. Ella finally gives up on Alex and decides to take a job somewhere else so she can move on with her life, and that's where the story really starts.
Alex is (randomly) part owner of a sex club and regularly participates in BDSM kink at the club. Ella develops a plan to visit the club in an effort to get Alex's attention. It works, instantly and Alex and Ella embark on a kinky relationship. The hook up between Alex and Ella was sort of hot and pretty interesting but there wasn't enough build up to it. At the point when we enter the story, Alex rapidly moves from viewing Ella as off limits to having her in every compromising position you can imagine. I was really confused by how rapidly things moved between the couple or why there was suddenly no issue with Alex hooking up with Ella. The BDSM elements in the book are really light weight, the relationship is fun and the plot moves rapidly forward even though it's a little bit predictable. I think you'll enjoy this book but it probably won't go on your memorable read list.

We support Las Damas de Blanco!
Last year we had an incredible exhibit honoring Las Damas de Blanco by artist Leonardo Severo, in fact we were the first art gallery in Miami to do this for them. The exhibit titled Blancas Mujeres was an homage to those brave women who peacefully walk the streets of Old Havana in a plea for freedom. These last few days they have been all over the news because of the beatings, and mistreatment by the government police, as they were peacefully protesting their relatives imprisonment. Today I honor and support these incredible Ladies in White!

I must admit that the final week of MMMay 16 was difficult. What I could wear in week 1 can fit me no more! Some repeats of staple and new additions.
Day 22: Another 3-hole dress in a beautiful fabric from Berlin. I wore this to a wedding dinner.
Day 23: Peplum blouse in Nani Iro
Day 24: V-neck tank in Atelier Brunette and maternity pencil skirt
Day 25: Refashioned maternity pants
Day 27: Perfect for lacey days blouse and elastic waist band skirt
Day 28: Aprils in Paris skirt. This is another favourite combination, basically anything with stripes. Haha. I didn't thought I could still fit into this and wished that I had worn this earlier!
So what about Day 29-31? I did wear me-made but accessories. Photo evidence? Too tired from work, too busy with work to snap photos of my earrings. I will try harder next year!!!

I recently returned from a family history research trip to Tennessee and soon we will be off on a road trip to Missouri. While none of the places we will be visiting are in California, I find I have no pictures of the trip to the Arizona border on Interstate 40. I guess we drive it so often, it doesn't occur to me to take pictures of something that has become boring.
There are many things to see and do between our home and the border so this trip, I will be making an effort to document some of those places. Route 66 runs from San Bernardino to the Arizona border and yet, I have not taken the time to see the historical sites along the way. They probably don't grab my attention because as children, Route 66 was our route to Texas to visit family. I can drive this in my sleep so it's time to make it interesting again.

Because the entire existing populations of Mexican wolves and red wolves are derived from such a limited founding populations (just 7 individuals for the Mexican wolf and 14 for the red wolf), genetic health is the primary consideration governing decisions re: reproductive pairings and captive-to-wild release events. It's also the reason that the SSP programs for both wolf species pursue an extraordinary conservation measure to save these species - gamete cryopreservation.
So last weekend, at the height of breeding season, WCC staff and volunteers set out to collect semen from 3 Mexican wolves and 2 red wolves in hopes that the genetic material could be stored for potential future use. This is an important option when trying to maintain diversity with a species that was once extinct in the wild. The first task was to capture all 5 wolves, not an easy job in a few feet of snow... Thankfully for the wolves, they won't remember much beyond the capture. Semen collection from wolves requires anesthesia first, and then electroejaculation. Dr. Cheryl Asa, Saint Louis Zoo's Director of Research and reproductive specialist, lead the procedure with the help of the WCC's amazing volunteer veterinarians, Norwalk Veterinary Hospital's Charlie Duffy, DVM and North Westchester Veterinary Office's Paul Maus, DVM. The procedure was a two day event and proved to be a great success! Dr Asa was able to determine how productive each wolf was by examining each deposit under the microscope to determine the number of sperm, the proportion of sperm moving and the quality of their movement, as well as the percentage of sperm with normal shape and an evaluation of the abnormal shapes present. Dr Asa then stored the samples in "straws" to prepare for cryogenic preservation at the St Louis Zoo.

So here's a breakdown of what the wolves produced:
- Mexican wolves M1139 & M1140: Both wolves extremely productive requiring a record number of "straws"
- Mexican wolf M804: productive collection - no surprise for the proven breeder
- Red Wolf M1565: no sperm at all. Possibly due to his transfer to the WCC in December when spermatogenesis occurs. Stress of travel might have interrupted the process.
- Red Wolf M1394: productive collection.
- Mexican wolf M904 (he underwent a reverse vasectomy in January): partially successful collection. Some sperm intact but most in pieces. His semen will need to be collected again in 2015 to determine if this reverse vasectomy was a 100% success.

Ribeiro Already Feels Comfortable with Coyotesby Dave Vest / Arizona Coyotes
GLENDALE – Center Mike Ribeiro has made plenty of new friends in the dressing room over the first two days of Coyotes Training Camp, but he has a definite advantage over the other newcomers.
He knows the boss pretty well.
|Mike Ribeiro
"He's easy to communicate with," Ribeiro said of Head Coach Dave Tippett, whom he played for with Dallas for six seasons. "I think he respects his players, and for us it's easy to respect him. He's a guy who is calm behind the bench, and the biggest thing is that he respects his players. I think he defines roles properly to players and you're not confused about what you're supposed to do for him or for the team. You know your role and it's just easier to do your job when you know what you're supposed to do out there."
Ribeiro, who signed a multi-year contract with the Coyotes on the first day of the free-agent signing period this summer, is practicing with Team A at camp. His linemates so far have been captain Shane Doan and winger Mikkel Boedker.
"He's a high-skill player," Tippett told Arizona Sports 620, the team's new flagship station. "We've had solid teams, we've had really good, hard-working teams, but the one aspect of our game that we've been lacking a little bit is the high skill, especially at center ice.
"Mike, he's our smallest player in camp, but he's probably the most clever with the puck. When the center iceman has that much skill and has the puck that much, it helps out the other forwards -- it helps out everybody on the ice."
Tippett is auditioning the Boedker-Ribeiro-Doan trio as the top line.

"The most important thing for me is to make my teammates better and try to create offense for them and make sure we win some games," Ribeiro said.
No matter which linemates Ribeiro ends up playing with, he is excited to start this new chapter in his career.
"It's great to start a new season with a new team," Ribeiro said. "…You can see a young defense here with a lot of skills and that we have a chance to win. One of my goals is to win a Cup and I believe with the coaching staff we have here, and the players, that we're going in the right direction and I'm happy to be here and help them."
Ribeiro also has been reunited with goalie Mike Smith; they were teammates in Dallas under Tippett not too long ago.
Smith is excited to have Ribeiro on his team again.
"It's great," Smith said. "He's a really good player and a really good guy off the ice. He's definitely going to help our team. I think it's just what we needed up front and down the middle. He's definitely going to bring a lot of patience on the ice."

off hand thinking back to when I was knitting mine, I blocked my pieces and seemed the shoulders together. I started picking up from the Right Panel neckline, across the Back Right, slipping the stitches off the holder and on to the needle, then the Back Left and lastly the Front Left.
I recommend picking up as many as you can. You can always decrease down to the required amount of stitches, but my issue was leaving holes where I didn't pick up enough.

Sorry, I don't understand that at all. Where do I start picking them up? From the scant amount on the holders at the edges? And what defines the neckline? It feels like the whole thing is sort of falling off me. Would that mean I'm making sort of a yoke before I get into this hood? I'm wondering if I start from the edge of the back panel, where it's sewn to the sleeve, and ignore those holders on the very edges until I get to the button bands.

- Kris said...
No worries. Maybe if you think about the hood as if it were the shape of the letter C. You need stitches from the front panels and the back in order to create a cup shape. The button band will travel from the bottom of one front panel up and over the hood and down the other front panel.
I found my blog entry which may or may not help::
If your still having issues I could take some pictures of my hoodie to show you where I picked up ...

: Dr Magnus Lord, January 8 2014Posted in: The Mölnlycke Health Care blog
Dr Magnus Lord is one of Europe's leading experts in modern healthcare management, including Lean healthcare. He holds three university degrees - medical doctor, master of science and a bachelor of business administration degree. A former strategy director of one of Sweden's largest university hospitals, Lord is now working as an international lecturer and coach for executive management groups, helping them to lead their transformations.
Problems in the healthcare sector are the same all over the world. Rising costs, queues, quality levels far worse than other comparable sectors and employees weighed down by an increasing work load. The best hospitals have understood that the cause of the difficulties lies within the system itself. We have put excellent people in a bad system, and the system always wins.
Few people in healthcare know that our present production system was invented in the US car industry in the 1920s. The system is based on "mass production" or "economies of scale", which are said to be made up of two fundamental ideas:
The first one is the total focus on the functions or silos of an organization. Every silo is managed autonomously and the highest possible utilization of each silo is the target for increased efficiency. It also leads to an introverted focus – changes are mainly introduced to make it easier for the unit itself. The intention is that if it becomes better for "us" (the unit), the patient will benefit, but in reality, this is almost never the case. Today, the silo focus is the main reason why lead times are high and the patient, or employee, has to wait for every service provided. New research suggests that this undesired result is also very costly.
The second fundamental idea is causing even bigger problems. It is called Taylorism, after its inventor Frederick Taylor. In the same era as mass production evolved, he formulated the idea of Scientific Management. It embraced several good concepts that are still used and appreciated today, but Taylor unfortunately made another statement that has darkened his legacy. He said that the workers had neither the brains nor the information necessary to make decisions about how to work. He separated thinking from working. Management should think, and workers should work.
The claim that a physician is not thinking may seem alien to us – diagnosing a patient is of course intellectual work. But how many of us are involved in developing the processes of the hospital on a daily basis? The fact is that we are not. Improvements are normally handled and decided by management, external consultants or quality departments.
This is possibly the main reason why the improvement rate is considered to be in the region of a hundred times slower in healthcare than in the best segments. Lack of quality (or rather defect rates) is said to be hundreds or even thousands times higher in healthcare than in other sectors, mainly because our excellent employees do not have the possibility to work with and improve quality on a daily basis. The necessary structures are simply not there.
It is important to emphasize that this is no one's fault. We have inherited the system, but it is our responsibility now to make the transformation to a better and more modern structure.
A new system, which I will describe in the following two instalments of this article, has been in use in healthcare for 10-15 years now, with excellent results. It is, however, clear that it is challenging to make the transition from the old to the new. A common problem is that you get stuck half way – keeping the Tayloristic leadership style and just adding some improvement methods from the new system. Such a mix could in fact be even worse than pure Taylorism and will most probably alienate the employees. You ask them to improve the processes, and after they have succeeded, you steal the valuable extra time they have created.
To avoid such mistakes, I will in the coming articles briefly describe the state-of-the-art knowledge of both the principles of the new thinking and how to get there.

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul noted on Tuesday that efforts to rein in government spending appeared to be in vain, due to an agreement reached with the White House during the recent debt ceiling negotiations. Congress would have to pass a joint resolution to oppose any extension of the debt ceiling, which President Obama is free to veto. Said Paul: "A default is becoming more mathematically unavoidable with…every debt ceiling increase."
Not only is the word "default" becoming commonplace but also the words "economic collapse." A study conducted by Leflein Associates and published by EcoHealth Alliance showed that of the 1003 individuals interviewed for the survey, 63 percent—or more than six out of ten of them—feared an "economic collapse" more than a natural disaster, a terrorist attack or a global outbreak of disease. This study was picked up by Michael, the author of his Economic Collapse Blog, who piled on by adding a long list of reasons why concerned citizens should be afraid of such an event:

What a crazy, sad, funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking week it has been. Last week's Happy Monday post went live right just before I found out that it most certainly was not a happy Monday. I'm not going to talk about the siege, because I need to stop thinking about it. Danielle from Keeping Up With The Holsbys wrote the most beautiful post that really just sums it all up for me.
I am getting better at not letting horrible things drag me down into the mire. As I was hearing the siege unfold I just felt grateful that my loved ones were safe. I checked in with my dear ones in Sydney and was so relieved that hadn't gone chocolate shopping that morning. I lived the day of the siege and those that followed clinging onto the happy stuff, feeling so privileged to be able to feel happiness when there are people in the world that may never know happiness again. That is how we can get by and not let the bad guys win. There is so much goodness in the world that we just need to give it the same amount of attention as the bad.
Things that made me happy this week:
:: Listening to a friend tell a "7 minute joke" that lasted about 20. She corpsed about 200 times and the joke was just dreadful (sorry darling if you are reading this) but I would happily lose another 20 minutes of my life just to see her tell it again.
:: Being called a free spirit by an old (young) friend. I have never really felt that about myself but always liked the idea of 'those kind of people.' I mentioned this to The Bookworm and he pointed out that I am not scared to follow my heart and do something different and unexpected. I had never recognised that part of me that is brave enough to leave the path and bush-bash for a while. I've spent that last few years bush-bashing and while I really like paths with their lack of bugs and scratchy bits, life is more interesting and satisfying in the wilderness.
:: A quick chat and a hug from a friend on Tuesday afternoon when I just could not make sense of the world. She is a wise old soul (in a young vibrant body). She grounded me and helped me on my way.
:: Christmas drinks with a new group of friends. I think if I had to name the most cherished thing that 2014 gave me, it would be all the new friends. So many. I spent my first few years in Melbourne clinging tightly to the handful of people I knew here. Then at the beginning of this year I decided to just start saying yes to catch-ups and opportunities to meet people, even if they were a bit scary for this little introvert.
:: Cramming into the bathroom of a wine bar with said group of new friends to take a selfie and potentially win a bottle of Champagne. Marvellous stuff.
:: Hanging out with Miss Carly. and eating lots of dumplings. Dumplings are good for the soul, as is time with the life-force that is Carly.
:: My first paid-for work Christmas party in 10 years and by-geez it was a good one. So much good wine and lovely chats with a great team of people. I have a lot of whinges about my work (which I deliberately never share here) but I can't fault the people; absolute delights.
:: Surprise Christmas trees. I am not really feeling the love this year. We are having an orphan Christmas- I can't get back to family in Brisbane due to study/work/finance restraints. I am picking up some retail work which means eight days in a row in the lead-up to Christmas. However, I arrived home from work yesterday to a little tree in the corner of the lounge room which we decorated together last night. We did'nt have a star for the top so The Bookworm created an angel out of a champagne cork. It feels like Christmas might be happening after all.
How are you doing? It has been a tough week for so many people. Take care of yourself x
Happy Monday

That first photo is stunning. It was a terrible week when the siege happened but at times like these the best of humanity usually pull together to give some hope in the face of tragedy. I really hope you had an enjoyable Christmas - it seems to have been a tough few weeks for a lot of people. Happy New Year to you too! - TashaReplyDelete
I don't know how should I give you thanks! I am totally stunned by your article. You saved my time. Thanks a million for sharing this article.ReplyDelete

I took these photos while waiting for the event proper to start. I was at the tech booth and set my shutter at a low setting then i took photos of the lights of the venue with the laptops on the table to create these light streaks. I played heavily with curves in photoshop to achieve all these vivid colors hehe.

Grayson Currin wrote an interesting review of the Blut Aus Nord album and had this to say about the state of American metal:
"One of the year's biggest threads in heavy music has centered on the loose enclave of American metal bands reshaping black metal and, in turn, introducing it to fresh faces. From Liturgy and Locrian to Horseback and Atlas Moth, they've each manipulated the decades-old, forever-infamous strain in their own identifiable ways. Whatever your views on Hunter Hunt-Hendrix's verbosity or Krallice's kinetic cascades, it's inarguable that they've all passed the sounds of corpsepaint and battle axes to bigger, more generalized crowds not overly concerned with someone's respective KVLT credentials. One reason for this, of course, is that these bands generally look and talk mostly like your average rock dudes; they give interviews, tour, and generally wear band T-shirts and tattered jeans. They're not the first North Americans to mutate black metal, neither by a long shot nor by a decade, but they are distinctly identifiable people manipulating a sound that, compared to the indie mainstream, feels exotic and perhaps a tad dangerous."

|Our Quiet, Peaceful Thanksgiving Dinner
And today, during our weekly appointment at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance for Heidi's chemotherapy, they plan to do an MRI of her legs, to rule out any new tumors there. Also frightening.
Last week, we met with the Oncologist who said Heidi's chemotherapy would need to change if any one of three things happen:
- any tumors reported on today's scan
- any increase in pain
- another rise in her tumor markers
|Kayaking Away Some Stress
So it's tough, really tough right now. So much uncertainty.. when will her chemo change? will the new chemo work? what will the today's scan show? will they find new tumors in me? will I have to have another surgery?
Tough times are a great chance to practice gratitude for what you do have.
My gratitude list, written on Thanksgiving Eve last week:

The most important thing to know is: you don't need to have rights or a profile badge to be helpful. Of course you need to be careful about not trying to take on a role you don't have - there is a difference between being helpful and trying to take over from those whose job it is to manage the wikia. But there is a lot you can do without the admin profile badge, and a lot of pride and satisfaction you can get out of doing it.
How can I be an admin on my favorite wikia?
The route to becoming an admin or getting other rights on a wikia will vary a lot from place to place. Some wikias have a voting page where you can be nominated by others or self-nominate. On some young wikias, just talking to the founder and offering to help out might be enough. But on other wikias, especially many of the larger and more established ones, you are expected to wait until you are nominated by someone else, and asking for rights is pretty much the worst way to get them!
That's because some wikias will almost automatically reject anyone who asks to be an admin. This is partly because the people who ask tend to be new to the wikia and less experienced (after all, they haven't been around enough to know that asking is a bad thing!) and partly because admins worry that someone who asks for rights wants the "shiny badge" of being an admin, rather than genuinely wanting to help the community as a whole
So instead of asking, it's often best to try start by proving that you would make a good admin. This means editing well, adding and correcting information on the wikia, looking out for vandalism and reverting that, and being welcoming and helpful to those new to the wikia. You might also take on cleaning tasks around the wikia, for example making sure all double redirects are fixed, or just regularly visit and answer questions on a forum or in chat.
You should also be sure to take part in the wikia's community. Maybe they have regular votes about new content, or discussions on how to best categorize pages - being a part of these will help you get to know the people on the wikia and help them get to know you. On most wikias, becoming an admin takes time, patience, and good work.
How do I become an admin on Community Central?
On Community Central, admins and chatmods are chosen by staff. We don't have a voting process and don't accept self-nominations or requests. Instead we look around at the wikia and see who are the most sensible, helpful, trustworthy, and skillful people around. We also look for people who tend to promote calm behavior and have a positive outlook as they talk to others. And maybe most importantly, we love to find those who show a real desire to help others just for the fun of it.
Once we think we've found the right person, we make a few checks to see if they are blocked from other wikias, or there are other likely problems. Then we talk to other staff and the existing admins and chatmods to see what their opinion is. Hopefully, with this process, we find the right people for this wikia
How do I join the VSTF or other global groups?
Global groups are ones that give you rights or a profile badge on all wikias. Each group has their own process for finding new members, but the first step is always making sure you know what the group does! We sometimes have people asking to join a group without any idea what it is or why they want to be a part of it!
But if you know what a group does, and think that would be something you would be suited for, then:
- The VSTF wikia has a membership page that explains that, like Community Central admins and chatmods, the VSTF is by invitation only. It also gives some ideas of things you can do to increase your chances of being invited.
- Helpers are part of the International Team, so the first requirement is that you speak English and at least one other language fluently (Google Translate won't do!). As with Community Central admins and the VSTF, Helpers are invited and not added from applications. But if you want to introduce yourself, you can do so on the International talk page.
- Wikia Stars has an application process, and also accepts nominations. Remember, only a few are selected, so please don't be disappointed if you aren't. See the Stars FAQ for more.
- We aren't currently recruiting for the Community Council, but we hope to again soon. When we do, this is likely to be a combination of invites and an application process. Watch this space!
- The Volunteer Developers program is quite new, and not yet recruiting more people. But you can still get involved on the Wikia Developers Wiki
How are people given rights on your wikia? What do you think is the best and fairest way?

Today's blog post at justimaginecrafts looks at at punch 918. As you must know by now, I love making borders with my Kreaxions punches and this project is no expection. Since punching a border gives you 2 borders in one, I decided to use both on the following layout. I used the punch without the inserts.
This layout looked so plain until I added the punched strips. I used one punched section along the top of the striped paper and the other along the bottom of the striped paper. Since I only wanted a little scallop to show across the top, I tucked the punched edge under the striped paper. The bottom strip matched up to the striped paper.
I also used my wonderful circle cutter to cut the 2 1/2" circles.
So next time you need to add a little pizzazz to a layout, grab your punches and create a border.
As an incentive to see how you use Kreaxion punches, join us this month for our first ever April challenge. The details can be found here.

If you are like me, you may be sick of hotdogs and hamburgers after the Fourth of July weekend. Why not add a little spice to your weekly meal plan by adding chicken empanadas. I love this dish because I have a small love affair with mexican food. Also this dish is pretty quick and easy for little fingers to eat.
First take three cups of chicken and cook it in a pan on the stove top. I used a package of chicken tenders. I just cut each tender into bite size pieces and seasoned with salt and pepper. In a large bowl combine the cooked chicken, one ( 8oz. package shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese blend, 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Unroll one piecrust onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 15-inch circle. Cut out rounds, using a 3-inch cookie cutter or use any round mug or object you have. I used a hamburger patty maker. Re-roll dough as needed. Repeat procedure with remaining piecrusts, making 12 to 15 circles total. Arrange one round on a clean, flat surface. Lightly brush the edges of crust with water. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of chicken mixture in the center of the round.
Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining rounds and chicken mixture. Place the empanadas on a greased cookie sheet to bake in the oven at 400 degrees F. for 15 minutes.
Note: You can freeze the leftover mixture for up to one month for future meals. I ate my leftover mixture within one week. It was that yummy!

Haunted Mansion is a 2015 pinoy horror movie and an official entry to MMFF 2015. The movie stars Janella Salvador as Ella and few of the hottest young talents today.
This a movie about haunting and the horrors within.
Ella in her childhood is weird since she possessed a third eye that can see all kinds of spirits. She even talked to her grandmother's spirit few hours after she died. Her parents won't believe her at first but after they have confirmed that indeed she could talk to the spirits or ghosts of the dead, they've keep it as secret but she was also the reason why her father died after calling her uncle's spirit.
After her father died, she kept telling her younger brother and sister about the happy moments with her father when he was still alive.
At school, she's been bullied by her classmates due to her being weird but she ignored it all the time. Ella also happens to have two suitors whom later became complicated because one is her friend Adrian (Marlo Mortel) who is secretly attracted to her and the other one is Jacob (Jerome Ponce) who was previously courting Megan (Ingrid Dela Paz) but always get neglected as part of Megan's trick. This made Megan mad at her since Jacob was already started to be attracted to her.
As part of their retreat, the students were taken to an old mansion which was already known for being horrible and mysterious due to different rumors about crying lady and black lady. They have been warned not to touch anything inside the mansion as they might disturb the spirits. At first, the student obeyed the rules but later they started to scare the others by wearing horrible masks and chasing the others.
This incident got the guys in trouble since Ella was scared by one of Jacob's friends and Adrian defended her from them. The fight started but later stopped by Father Anthony (Dominic Ochoa) and Miss Gonzales (Janice de Belen) as their guardians in the retreat. But this was not the end of the guys' play; they later tried to put a celfone inside the confessional room to record the black lady's confession as what the rumors say.
The horrible thing happened when the phone successfully recorded the black lady's confession. With this, anyone who heard the confession will eventually die in minutes after the burned man and evil black lady shows up and cut everyone's tongue. After Miss Gonzales and Faye (Sharlene San Pedro) died, they discovered that the evil black lady who is killing every one of them is not Veronica (LJ Reyes) as the rumored black lady in the confessional room but indeed Amara (Iza Calzado). Amara did not want everyone to know that she was responsible of Jaime's (Joem Bascon) death, the boyfriend of Veronica. The death of Veronica was due to sorrow because of what Amara did, the reason she committed suicide after confessing the incident few years ago.
Since Ella can talk to spirits, she tried to talk to Veronica and Jaime in the spirit world and was informed to destroy or burn Amara's remains to stop her from killing them all. Only Ella was left after Amara's rage but she had managed to burn her partially. Ella was hospitalized and later taken home to rest since she also suffered amnesia due to the incident in the mansion.
However, after three months when her memory gets back, Amara also get back to her and nearly killed her since she had already risen from the dead but Ella again managed to take the rosary and placed on Amara. This burned her fully to ashes and Ella lived.

Yep, you're right, I knew that and I just misspoke. One of these days I'll get a perfect Corner out, but it's not today. Still, I'm just glad I got it up - this weekend was a lot of work. Between the trip to Oakland and back and my other job today, I'm pretty exhausted.

almost forgot to ask- what do you think of Chivas USA moving down to Santa Ana. I grew up in Orange County and I can say this move would be interesting having a professional soccer team here. Back in the day when I was really young, I remember the surf playing at Anaheim stadium and that didn't turn out so well, but now depending on the venue, I think it could work.

These CC vlogs are excellent. The minimalist production even works. It makes me think ESPN would have been better served having you do the Euro 2008 halftime show on a webcam from your desk. Keep up the great work!
