You are so stinkin' adorable! I love your boots too :) I may have to give this little number a shot, I could think of a million different ways to wear it. I'm a yoga teacher and think it'd be great over work out clothes while running errands, meeting a friend for lunch, or in between classes so I don't look like a total gym rat lol! I love your idea of wearing it over leggings. Have a great wednesday, my dear!

I haven't been reading very long, but I love your blog! You always inspire me.
I'm loving the dress--I still have a few semesters before I student teach, but I've started collecting classroom-appropriate clothing as well. I think dresses with cardigans, leggings, and boots might become my uniform.

Seriously though, those boots are exactly what I've been looking for! I was in Austin over the Christmas break and I went shopping for some boots in that style with no luck (ok, well except for the Frye boots I accidentally fell in love with. If only I was made of money!). Thanks for the link, just in time for my birthday wishlist.

Being a free service, Jotti still provides a host of great features, which makes us suggest it for everyone who wants to ensure secure file sharing.
Anyone who has a computer, tablet, or smartphone, has a virus protection program installed to help keep them from being infected with malware, scareware, spyware or malicious viruses. However, not every anti-virus out there is 100% safe. Sometimes something slips through the cracks and causes trouble. Well, if you have that issue, then visiting Jotti is a good idea. You can upload files to be scanned through 21 different virus scanners. If anything is flagged, it tells you the file name in the upload data.
Idea: 10.0
The idea of the service is to ensure that there are no hidden issues with specified files on your device. If there are, you are able to identify their names in order to fully cure them and prevent any problems in the future. This is a wonderful concept, and they have brought their vision to life in this program wonderfully. Jotti's developers know that no single virus scanner offers perfect protection, so they utilized 21 to make sure every nook and cranny is canvassed.
Usability: 10.0
It is very easy to use the scanning system. You are able to upload up to 5 items at once where no single item may exceed 50MB, and you can either upload using the 'search file' button or drag-and-drop the highlighted files manually into the scanner. The program does the rest with quick results. The Avast scanner does however take a few more seconds to finish compared to the rest. We're not sure if this is a sign of in-depth scanning or slow response due to the lack of engine power.
Design: 6.7
Jotti suffers from the issue common for so many sites – bland design. Yes, it has a function and it performs that function well. However, how hard is it to add some eye candy to the back-drop or bring a little color to life? The site is sporting 21 anti-viruses, but not one logo is in the background to help create the atmosphere of safety. A little color never hurt anyone, nor has a customized background.
Price: 10.0
Yes, calling in the big guns to locate and inform you of any spyware or malicious and questionable files on your computer is usually quite expensive. Not this time, however, since the service is 100% free. The only cost you may end up paying is for something more effective than the free basic virus protection.
Utility: 8.8
Utilizing Jotti is fairly easy, and the results show in under a minute every time. Still, it does not offer solutions to any malicious or harmful files found, nor does it offer any kind of deals on any of its many utilized scanning engines.
Overall, this is a handy tool to keep bookmarked for when you are sending or receiving files and you want to verify their safety. With the lack of eye candy and major lack in the solutions department, as well as the disappointing lack of the option to investigate flagged files, it is still a suggested bookmark to keep.

I heard the scream and knew immediately what was happening. Mrs. Tulu lives in a ground-level apartment on the side closest to the alleyway. Although we technically reside in the showiest side of town, our building lies on the border of the west end of Hemlock County, where police are corrupt and criminals run wild. As a result, we are the residents who have to pay the price; trouble-makers often cross the border to wreak havoc and retreat without being held responsible. Luckily, now that I feel confident in my abilities to help, I can.
I jump out of my third-story window and land on the sidewalk. I can hear Mrs. Tulu yell, "You can't have it! It's mine!" I leaped around the corner to find a crouched grasshopper-like creature that easily towered a foot above the poor, frail, seventy-something year-old woman. They were wrestling over her purse. Why do they always try to take old ladies' purses? And how is little Mrs. Tulu managing to put up such a good fight?
It was time to end this. I was tired and hungry.
"Hey!" I screamed, and stomped my foot on the sidewalk, cracking it in the process. Both the grasshopper and Mrs. Tulu looked at me. I closed my eyes, and began to think about the concept of good and evil. I felt the images display on my trustworthy forehead and knew from their silence that they were watching. Moments later, I opened my eyes, and Mrs. Tulu had her purse in her hand, and the creepy, grasshopper creature-thing was gone.
I turned to walk home and called back, "Mrs. Tulu, when are you going to stop getting into trouble?"
"When I stop getting the short end of the stick." she grumbled.

The word mango is stolen from the Portuguese manga, which was probably stolen from some other language. This doesn't quite explain where the 'o' comes from, but as with many things in the English language, it doesn't have to make sense, does it? Mangoes grow on trees. Specifically: mango trees. They typically live for centuries and grow to about 115–130 feet tall. Mango trees regularly grow evergreen leaves. The leaves focus on developing the flowers, which are small and white with five petals each. The fruit, a mango, typically takes three to six months to ripen.
Mangoes come in several colors and sizes. Unfortunately, the mango season is already over. So I'll be speaking from my lifelong experience with the yellow Sindhiri mangoes of Pakistan.
Regardless of its skin color, the inside of a mango is a mixture of sun orange and sunflower yellow. From the moment you peel off the skin, you can feel the sweet nectar of a mango. Your hands squirm as they try to retain control of the fruit. The inexperienced rarely have masterful hands for this task. This reviewer suggests inviting him for the reader's first mango experience unless the reader wants the mango to escape from the clenches of his teeth and onto the floor.
So how do you cut a mango, anyway? There are three schools of thought on this well-researched subject matter. The Classical Method involves peeling the mango and cutting it into cubes for consumption with a fork. It is perfect for a lady or gentleman, but the experts have demonstrated that it is not nearly as fun as the two other methods. The second method is the Standard Method. It involves cutting the mango into oblong shapes: both fruit and skin. This method leaves a particularly sweet and juicy seed. One of the greatest parts of eating a mango is the interaction with the seed. Go ahead: be assertive, flirt with it, play with it; it won't say "NO!", it won't say, "Stop!" However, my favorite method for eating a mango is the Natural Method. The Natural Method involves peeling the mango and digging in with your teeth. Warning: this method is not for everyone and it's not a particularly clean or well-mannered affair. But as far as I'm concerned, it's the only way to experience mangoes.
Mangoes aren't just about taste. That's only half the experience, if that. There's the smooth slippery feel, the cool fruit sliding down your throat, and even once you're done eating the mango and the skin has been disposed of, one final task remains. There is sweet mango nectar on your face, on your fingers. You try to grab a napkin to clean your face up, but it doesn't work; it sticks to your face, to your fingers. Sure, you could head to the bathroom and clean up, or you could put your tongue to task and clean up the "natural" way (which is where this method gets its name).
Mangoes are great for eating on their own, but that's not all they are good for: they are multi-talented. I know of three equally delectable mango chutney recipes: sweet, sour, and spicy. Then there is the expensive, but always delicious, mango juice. And finally, a personal favorite: mango lassi, a concoction which includes milk, mango, sugar, and sometimes yogurt. One could say "I don't eat fruit," or "I don't drink milk-based products," or even "I don't like juice," but I doubt anyone could say he doesn't consume any of the three. So go ahead, try out a mango, and prepare to experience the love.

I made a recent recipe in the Weightwatchers magazine for a dal - I want to give it another try with my own twist before sharing that recipe (although it looks particularly tasty here!)
Stats: - 8 chapatis, 3 propoints each
Sift 250g of wholemeal flour into a large bowl. Add 250ml of cold water, slowly as you might not need all of it. Knead the dough as you go as the harder you work it, the softer the chapatis will be - I gave up a little too soon here.
Separate the dough into eight and roll into balls. Use a rolling pin to flatten and create thinly rolled discs.
Heat a frying pan and place a disc on it. Cook for 20-30 seconds, the chapati will start to cook very quickly and bubble up. At this point, turn over and cook for a further 10-15 seconds.
Enjoy! I had two of these rather than my usual garlic rice.

Double Spin from 1967
Hi to all. I decided to highlight two lesser known bands from 1967. The Canadian Legends who were actually from Louisiana released a couple of 45's. The record featured today was groups first release in April 1967. "Just One Girl " has a catchy sound similar to The Outsiders "Time Won't Let Me". The Huntingtons from Hoquiam, Washington release there one and only 45 in May 1967. Both songs on the 45 are good. "You Better Mend Your Ways" has a garage sound . The group changes it up on flip side with the ballad "I Told The World". A brief history of the group can be found on the Pacific Northwest Bands website. All comments about these two bands are welcomed.
Canadian Legends - Just One Girl
Marty Martinson, Mike Sturm, Lee Smith, Bob Dalyrymple, Gary Mclaughlin, Dick Brown

Dodger Mike Bolsinger 4-5 (2.83)
Oakland Athletics Jesse Chavez 5-10 (3.45)
Yasil Puig Bobbblehead Night
The Dodgers should take more in-field before the game, they haven't been doing that enough lately.
Mr. Ronald Nelson, Vendor Extraordinaire also agrees.
Since 1958, both of these guys.
Outside during check-in,
Ronald tells me quick story of when he was 15 years old.
"It was when I went home from school, 1947. My mom forgot to close the lid on the washing machine,
the porch became slippery with soap. So's I slipped on the steps, cracked my head open, and I was in the hospital
for 6 months. I think Roger had (injured) his head the same way but he doesn't like to reveal that."
"Maybe (Roger) wrote about that in his book," I mention.
Ronnie continues, "I would have gone to the Navy, into the Korean War if it weren't for the head accident."
"I'm glad you didn't go, Ronnie."

Pre-game Vendor meeting.

It's break time with the Wetzel Pretzel Crew,
We talk about Armando Sahagun.
He passed away last week.
My buddy Damian who had worked with him just last home stand on the Field Level told me,
"It didn't feel right (last night) without Armando on the grill."
So young, 22 years old, the Stadium loses another family member.
Sitting across from me, Pancho #4, he calls himself out of the Pancho Pantheon that roll and bake Pretzels tells us,
"He is a better place now."
"You think so," Roman asks.
"Of course, only the good die young."
(Well said Pancho, well said)
Back in the Stand 740,
Big Jessie who makes the Garlic Fries answers his cell phone,
"What happened? What happened?"
This is the same question people are asking themselves about Armando, how did (it) happen?
I pray we find out.
May you rest in peace, Armando . . . silence.
Stadium Gates are open,
It's a Wednesday game so Dodger employees get a nice 50% discount on hats.
Maribel the Wifey is showing off the new Dodger hat she bought earlier.
"You can wear that at the zoo."
Fryers continue to give and give . . .
J.C. the Fry Guy is loading frozen potato cuts.
Garlic Boy is mixing kosher salt, garlic, and hot papas.
Jose is . . . (where the hell is Jose?)
Maribel be dropping chicken tenders in 375 degree soy bean oil.
"It's hot in here," Rochelle laments.
"The people are eating!"
"Feed my children, Feed!" the Fry Guy shouts.
The Spicy Chicken sandwich lettuce is looking nice and green today.
"How many Garlic Fries do we have left?"Jesse asks.
Fry Guy checks the a-la-cart window, "Less than zero!"
"Make more Jesse, Make MORE!"
+ + +
1st Inning,
We be prepping, cooking, and serving.
Rochelle on the Soda Fountain detail is pouring sodas and brews.
Stand Manager Rosa is counting green backs,
Except Ms. Justine the Assistant is doing something else . . .
"Do you need any help?" she asks as we pack tenders in their containers.
"No, keep studying!"
The Assistant is working on her college algebra homework.
She has a test on Friday.
+ + +
2nd Inning,
"Order more Dodger Dogs!" Jose exclaims.
"Feed!" Fry Guy hollers at the Dodger fans.
"Do you need help," Justine asks again.
"No, do your classwork, we got this!"
The Fry Guy starts to howl like a wolf.
+ + +
3rd inning,
We are behind on French Fries and the bananas have hit the fan.
"We have No-More-Fries!" Maribel shouts.
"Who is cooking the fries?"
I tell her, "J.C. went to buy a hat, who's in charge?"
"You are!" she shouts.
I have to pass the buck.
"No way! Jose is!"
No biggie. Load up the papas. Set the timer.
No problem.
Fry Guy comes back, sees that we have a long line outside and fries are still cooking,
"Man, I can't leave you alone for one second."
"Do you need any help, guys?" Justine asks.
"No, keep studying!"
"Ok! OK!" she relents.
+ + +
4th Inning,
Puig goes deep!
3-1, Dodgers
+ + +
5th Inning,
During this time, we always have a late rush.
People are falling off:
"Where is Jose?"
'"He is watching the game," J.C. believes.
"Where is Maribel?
"She's using the restroom," Rochelle claims.
"Where is Justine?
Oh, yeah, she is finding the x- and y- intercept.
"She's doing inventory," Rosa tells me.
Good, I knew she was counting something.
+ + +
6th Inning,
"Shit!" Some how the Dodgers are down, 6-3.
Fan appetites are low.
We sumani the hell out of the floors: sweep,mop, and dump the chocolate milk to the ocean.
The Silver Prep Counter gleams.
Chicken Tender Stand is immaculate.
Justine is done with her algebra.
+ + +
Bottom of the 7th Inning,
Dodgers have 2 outs. Doesn't look good. The Stand is clean. Time to go home.
Concession workers can be dismissed at the end of the 7th if we cooked enough and cleaned well,
just a matter of time before we are all out of here.
"Let's go wait at the check-in/check-out machine," Maribel recommends.
At Check-out, bottom 7th
There isn't a single worker in line at the clock-out machine so we post-up waiting for the final out of the inning.
On the TV monitor across the way, we wait and watch for the final out of the inning to play out.
Howie Kendrick walks, Scott Van Slyke moves to second.
Athletics Pomeranz relieves Rodriguez. (Damn!)
Adrian Gonzalez doubles to deep center, Van Slyke scores, Kendrick to third.

Success again in the cooking baking invention (well new to me) department of Chez Depre.
Hot Cocoa Yummies! are what these new cookies have been dubbed.
Really they are nothing over the top ingredient wise but they are super duper yummy according to my official cookie taster. Note: I have had strong willpower and have only eaten two cookies since BakingFest 2013 began on Monday. (Did I mention there is a cruise in my future?).
You will find the recipe on my PDF page.
Here are some visuals to help you along.
Also finally got around to photographing my Sawtooth Santa Christmas table runner.
I will go over to Craftsy later this week and make the visual changes there. You can find this pattern via the link on the sidebar.
Super simple….and if your snowed in this weekend (as we might be) you might even get it done for the table on Tuesday!

Companies Seek New Lithium Opportunities in Chile
Feb 06, 2015
In this blog I republish an article by Adam Page from Industrial Minerals about the interest of the Chilean government and lithium producers in securing public-private partnerships as they seek to exploit the world's largest lithium reserves, a move that appears to have brought optimism back to Chile's mining sector.
By Adam Page from Industrial Minerals
Published: Friday, 30 January 2015
The Chilean government and lithium producers want to secure public-private partnerships as they seek to exploit the world's largest lithium reserves. The move has brought optimism back to Chile's mining sector. US-based Albemarle Corp. and Li3 Energy have welcomed the new opportunities being offered by the Chilean government to develop the country's vast lithium reserves.
On Tuesday, Chile's National Lithium Commission advised the government to develop public-private partnerships, which will allow the state to control the mineral while enabling companies to rent lithium-producing properties. "What the Commission did is to ratify the non-concessional character of lithium for old and new operations in Chile," Juan Carlos Zuleta, a lithium economist, told IM. "[This] implies the need for private companies producing and interested in producing lithium to continue to sign contracts with the Chilean State to produce lithium," Zuleta added.
Li3 and Albermarle have both expressed interest in working with the Chilean government. "We applaud the work of the Commission and look forward to working with the government to promote the development of new lithium projects in Chile," said Patrick Cussen, chairman of Li3. "This will allow us to continue moving forward with our flagship Maricunga project," Cussen added. Chile is looking for more value-added activities as new projects are developed in the lithium sector. However, this will not affect current exporting activities or existing contracts.
Albemarle also has a stake in Chile's lithium after merging with US lithium producer Rockwood Holdings Inc. Its CEO, Luke Kissam, was in Chile earlier this month to meet with Chilean officials and mining stakeholders. "Going forward I think they will develop a state entity to manage the development to future lithium projects and they are looking for participants who are interested in doing that, with a track record in the industry which is very positive from a Albemarle and Rockwood standpoint," Kissam said during a conference call yesterday.
According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), Chile has more than 57% of the world's lithium reserves and it is the second largest producer in the world. Albermarle Kissam says his company expects to be operating in Chile "forever." Albemarle now has access to Rockwood's lithium carbonate sourced from the La Negra facility, based on natural brines from the Salar de Atacama, which Albemarle expects to be operating at until around 2030. Kissam said Albermarle want to shift work to higher-value applications away from technical grades. To achieve this it aims to increase its lithium carbonate capacity by mid-2015.
The company wants to look beyond developing the salars and getting involved in state research and development enterprises to help produce new uses for lithium. "We stand ready and able and we think we are in the best position to collaborate with them now, as well as in the long run allow us to be their preferred partner," Kissam said. Li3 Li3's Maricunga lithium project covers approximately 1,888 ha (km²) in the northeast section of the Salar de Maricunga in Chile, the second largest salt flat in the country.
The company is in partnership with South Korea-based POSCO, for the development of a lithium direct extraction technology, which has so far achieved over 80% recovery of lithium carbonate in less than eight hours of processing Maricunga brine.
Last February, market intelligence SignumBOX, ranked the project as the 4th best undeveloped lithium project in the world out of the 37 brine projects. Last year, Li3 made the final payment for the Cocina 19-27 properties in the Maricunga Salar, adjacent to our existing Litio 1-6 properties that have an identified NI 43-101 compliant resource. Better luck this time?
The previous government under Sebastian Pinera tried to open up Chile's lithium reserves in the Atacama Desert in 2012. In September 2012, a bid by Sociedad Quimica y Minera (SQM) was accepted, beating off competition from Li3 Energy and local juniors. However, it was declared void in October 2012 after it emerged that SQM had several lawsuits pending against the Chilean state.
On Monday, Pablo Wagner, the former deputy for the mining minister and his legal counsel, Jimena Bronfman, were indicted by a Chilean court accused of falsifying documents for SQM's bid that failed to mention the lawsuits.
However, optimism and desire for growth is back in Chile's lithium sector, a matter that President Michelle Bachelet included in her presidential manifesto. "We expect there will be interest from companies considering that now the rules of the game will be sufficiently clear and transparent," Zuleta told IM.

Call me bitter for unfriending and/or blocking past love interests, but I have a few reasons why this is beneficial for me.
First and foremost, it removes a stressor in my life. When getting over someone, the worse thing a person or a thing could do to me is to constantly remind me of him. This is very difficult because during these times it is when everything, as in EVERYTHING can be associated to that person I wanted to move on from. Like, "That car was red and red was the color of his shirt when I first met him" or "Oh! that new Justin Bieber song was playing when we were doing a tonsil hockey to each other". So I believe that it would really help if I could get rid of his new posts from my social media feed so that I would not be reminded of him again.
I don't know about you guys but when I get reminded of the person constantly, I tend to have relapse feelings and feelings of wanting to go back to him. So I would cut all ties from the person for me not to have an avenue for connection with the person. I would always hate myself when I consciously refrain from messaging him then I will reach a point that I cannot control myself and message him again, only to realize the reason why I wanted not to message him in the first place, and that is unresponsiveness. I don't like people that just seen-zone my messages and doesn't even have the balls to tell it to my face that they are not interested.
And last, when a girl says she's done SHE IS DONE. Blocking him is a way of saying that she can most definitely live without you. That it is not her loss, it is his. So don't be afraid to show them that you are strong and independent woman and that you don't need anybody else to be complete and happy and survive life.

Women with short hair do look appealing at these times. There are numerous reasons for which some women these days do prefer to keep shorthair. Making oneself different from all other women, looking attractive and sexy are some of the reasons for this preference. Whether it be the modern bob style or the pixie cut, a number of hot female celebrities do love to keep shorthair. But just keeping a cocky hairstyle would never be enough, as there are a number of things which you need to ponder. Here is the list of the 5 hottest celebrity women with shorthair.
5. Halle Berry
The acting skills and talents of Halle Berry are really out of the question. The same also applies to her more than sexy and hot looks. Yes, there are also a number of other factors which determine the psychic appeal in your personality together with your hair. Halle Berry, a top fashion model, really knows how to add more to her persona which is already too awesome.
4. Keira Knightley
A top English actress and a great model, Keira Knightley is all about her short hair these days. In addition to having a well-toned appearance, her hair is also one of the most attractive feature of her personality.
3. Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba is not only famous in the first world regions, but also happens to be a well-known name all over the world. The fantastic four heroine really knows how to make men crave her. Changing her hair style now and then is a part of her strategic approach in terms of asserting her importance.
2. Elisha Cuthbert
There is no end to the women who prefer to copy the hair style and looks of this famous celebrity. In terms of her hairstyle it is imperative to notice that she hasn't changed her short hair for quite some time.
1. Emma Watson
It is a fact that the fan following of Emma Watson in millions. Whatever you get to hear about are all exaggerated figures. But still we cannot undermine the fact that her hair is truly amazing. In terms of the positive response and recognition in lines to her short haircut, Emma should think about maintaining it for a long time. Emma does prefers to have the feminine look at times, but not always. She has kept some hairstyles which did not even fit with her persona, but now she seems to be getting the grip on it. The Emma Watson you see today is quite different from a few years back.

inside and Coffee Fellows receive the eLearning Award 2017
inside and Coffee Fellows receive the eLearning Award 2017
Together with Coffee Fellows GmbH – one of Germany's leading coffee shop chains – the inside Business Group has received the eLearning Award for 2017 at the didacta trade fair in Stuttgart. The two received the award in the category "Micro Learning" for the creation of an interactive learning space.
The learning space created by inside enables new employees to receive initial training as well as all Coffee Fellows employees to receive ongoing training. Thanks to its responsive design, the learning space can be used on diverse end devices – especially smartphones – and enables mobile learning independently of time or place. Access to the learning space and its media is gained comfortably and easily via the learning cloud app.
Micro-learning in combination with video training promotes an activity-oriented learning process. "We are extremely happy to receive this award. With the implementation of the cloud-based learning space and with the help of our micro- and mobile learning approach, we have created the prerequisite to also enable companies whose employees don't have access to classic PC-workplaces to also profit from e-learning", explained Dr. Patrick Blum, managing director at inside Business Group upon collecting the award together with Britta Sieg, manager of training and personal development at Coffee Fellows GmbH.
The learning space offers the business and its employees diverse advantages: The employees can maintain a constant overview of their learning progress within the current module as well as their overall progress within the training program. Additionally, the results of the latest mystery shopping report are also displayed in the learner cockpit along with news and likes via the Facebook plug-in. Efficient search and filter functions enable employees to find references quickly and accurately and to learn without having to leave the workplace.
Gamification elements and competitions such as quizzes with rankings for participating stores ensures that the learning process is practice-oriented and the learning experience remains motivating. By completing certain sections of the learning space, for example individual levels or participating in competitions and regular campaigns, employees can collect so-called coffee-coins. These are a digital currency which can be traded for attractive awards. The coins help to motivate the learners and serve as an extrinsic incentive for learners to use the learning space.
Dashboards with comprehensive information on learners' progress are available to central management and store managers to keep track of their employees' development.
"Our expectations with regards to the design as well as the operation of the learning space were extensively and reliably fulfilled. With the learning space, we offer our learners a learning platform which provides efficient, sustainable and diversified learning while at the same time supporting our expansion strategy. And what I am particularly pleased about is that working with inside's authoring system the eAuthor is not only simple and self-explanatory but also fun, enabling us to autonomously create and update our own content", explained Britta Sieg.

Frequently asked questions
What sets Chap apart from other themes?Chap really aims to be modern and clean, while keeping things simple and bloat-free. Thanks to Semantic UI's incredible themable components it's possible to achieve so many different looks without leaving the comfort of the WordPress administration dashboard.
What browsers does this theme support?
Browser compatibility depends on what Semantic UI supports, which is currently the following:
Although some components will work in IE9, grids and other flexbox components are not supported by IE9 and may not appear correctly.
- Last 2 Versions FF, Chrome, Safari Mac
- Android 4.4+, Chrome for Android 44+
- iOS Safari 7+
- Microsoft Edge 12 & 13
Although some components will work in IE9, grids and other flexbox components are not supported by IE9 and may not appear correctly.
What PHP version does this theme require?
Your web server needs to have PHP 5.4 or higher, because the theme uses the short array syntax, which replaces
array() with
[]. PHP 7.0+ highly recommended.
Does this theme support child themes?
Yes and it is recommended to be used instead of the main theme. Read: Using Chap child.
Will I need to know how to code to use this theme?
Chap is designed to be usable without any knowledge of CSS, JavaScript or PHP. You should have basic understanding of how WordPress shortcodes work.
How ever if you have any knowledge of CSS/SASS/LESS/JavaScript/jQuery you can customize UI elements down to the last detail, without leaving the comfort of WordPress admin dashboard.
If you're comfortable with PHP you can create your own custom template files, override the theme core functions to suit your needs and take advantage of the available filters and actions.
Does this theme support the new Gutenberg editor?
Yes, Chap theme includes support for Gutenberg editor as well as custom blocks allowing to create Semantic UI elements.
Preview Gutenberg blocks in Chap theme
Is this theme responsive?
Yes, Chap will work on desktop computers, tablets and mobiles.
Does this theme have a sticky menu?
Yes, it is possible to enable a sticky menu in this theme. It will be a copy of the main menu and will appear once the user has scrolled below the masthead.
Does this theme have a slider?
Yes, you are able to add custom slides to any page or post using Swiper slider, integrated into this theme.
If you prefer to use Slider Revolution, then that works as well, how ever it is not bundled with this theme, so you would need your own license.
If you prefer to use Slider Revolution, then that works as well, how ever it is not bundled with this theme, so you would need your own license.
Does this theme have content animations when scrolling down the page?
Yes, version 1.12 added Animate on Scroll library integration.
Does this theme have a parallax effect?
Does this theme have a page builder?
No. The custom made shortcodes that come with Chap are able to accomplish any sort of page layout design as well as provide stylistically fitting UI elements.
Is this theme retina ready?
What shortcodes does this theme come with?
Chap includes intuitive shortcodes for anything you may wish to add on your pages.View Chap shortcodes
Are the primary and secondary colors customizable?
Yes, you can choose your own colors.
Are the fonts customizable?
Yes, you can choose from Google WebFonts and classic Web Safe Fonts. You can choose a separate font family for page headers.
Is the website width customizable?
Yes, you can increase or decrease the website's width.
What are the downsides of this theme?
Not ultra lightweight – With the vast amount of features of Semantic UI CSS framework comes a rather sizable CSS and JavaScript filesize. Here's how we mitigate this:
AMP – For mobile performance there is built-in support for Accelerated Mobile Pages project to make your content available to mobile users near-instantly.
Togglable components – It's possible to manually turn off Semantic UI components that are not required for the website at hand, making the page load faster.
No bundled page builder – There is nothing stopping you from using your own page builder, but for Chap we have chosen to not include one due to the high probability of compatibility issues with other plugins, content-breaking updates and general headache. The custom made shortcodes that come with Chap are able to accomplish any sort of page layout design as well as provide stylistically fitting UI elements.
PHP – WordPress still supports PHP 5.2, Chap doesn't – 5.4 is required.
Forms – Forms are not supported on AMP pages. Alternative content, such as a button redirecting to the form on the main website, can be used.

Mir Sayeed Sultan
President and Founder
Mir Sayeed Sultan, a true volunteer among us. His philosophy is simple: a little can go a long way and together we can change the world. Mir a Canadian since 1989, has always nurtured the objective to serve humanity as good as one can.
His desire to help those in need can be traced to his adolescence. As a young boy, growing up in India, Mir formed a group of fellow students who would go to remote villages distributing clothes and teaching the use of disinfectants to poor villagers. As a teenager, Mir was elected to be the leader of World Scout Jamboree. His leadership endeavors continued through college where he represented his peers as the general secretary of the elected students union.
Mir had a very successful business and entrepreneur career both in Canada and UK. His business interests have trekked an interesting path but have always showcased his leadership abilities. In the early 60s he was actively involved in the UK fashion industry. He was extremely successful in launching new fashion lines and introducing new trends. A reputed UK magazine, The Drapper Record published an interview with Mir documenting his achievements in the UK fashion industry. In early 80s he helped MITEL of Canada, a leader in voice communication software, to win back a tender, worth millions of dollars for telecommunication equipments and services, which had originally been awarded to a U.S. company.
Soon after arriving in Canada, Mir got involved in community service. He realized it quite early that, there was no place for Muslim community members to worship and to have social gatherings. In 1991, with great efforts, Mir with support from some community members was able to establish a mosque and community centre at Coopers Avenue in Mississauga for religious and social activities. I
n 2003, he formed the United Family of Neighbours a group of homeowners, residing between Mavis rd. west and Terry Fox rd. Members of this group were involved in a dispute with their home builder. From past experiences, Mir realized that they would be stronger as a group, and thus, personally represented their case to the City of Mississauga. The settlement of the dispute between the builder and the owners did materialized and brought great benefits for the residents. The bond thus created among neighbours, also encouraged regular meetings and brought the neighbours closer to each other.
Mir has strong ties to the mosque on Coopers Avenue and this has become his base for UCEC, United Caring Establishment of Canada. UCEC is a volunteer-driven welfare organization representing all Canadians. UCEC has among other activities, organized career fairs for Canadian newcomers, shared concerns about several issues affecting newcomers with government representatives, and is also planning to work with local police to peacefully resolve family disputes in the area. The organization has several active projects in the community and more importantly, has the vision of implementing several projects in the future that will help to ensure the happiness and safety of the residents in the diverse community of Mississauga.
Mir volunteers to give back, to make a difference, to make this world a better place. Under the umbrella of UCEC he is working tirelessly to strengthen our community, to help assimilating new Canadians into an already diverse Canadian culture and to break down barriers of fear and misunderstanding among diverse segments of society. There is a lesson in it for all of us. We should quit the role of a mere spectator and find something we can help with, anyone anywhere. All of us should join hands with him and help him making UCEC a true Canadian success storey.

Who am I? I am the mother of ten-year-old twin girls who happens to have a Ph.D. in public health and an MA in sociology. I took early retirement as a professor to become a stay-at-home mom.
Why am writing this blog? I am redefining my interests and exploring new venues, but also because I find that I have little in common with the average first-time mother who has given birth at the age of 25, and even less in common with your average 50-year-old mother who is about to become an empty nester. Though I often feel like I am the only overeducated, 50-something-year-old with young children, the demographics do not bear this out. I am one of a growing group!
Who do I hope will follow this blog? It would be nice to develop a following among mothers who share my experiences. Nevertheless, the reality is that I am writing because I enjoy it. This blog is not meant to develop a following for the purposes of selling you a product; I only review products I actually purchase and use. Also, I do not take free gifts in return for a review; don't bother asking. Should I ever develop a following, I do not plan on accepting products or charging for a biased product review.
If you enjoy my writing, please join me in my exploration or introspection. If you don't, then do please move on. I review all comments and will not post anything that is a personal attack. It is for this reason that I also do not use my actual name or location.
Am I happy? Unapologetically so!

UM Charles Regional Hospital, Southern Maryland Blue Crabs & Bubucheek team up for Paint the Park Pink Night on Saturday, July 20th
Waldorf, MD – Since the early days of Bubucheek, we have always wanted to connect with the community by doing something positive. Whether it was helping other young entrepreneurs build their dreams or partnering up with foundations in efforts to fundraise for a good cause, that pillar has always been an important structure for how we want Bubucheek to be recognized. Back in 2011, we had a unique opportunity to partner with a minor league baseball team in southern Maryland and were able to donate to the Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation through Civista Health by selling our first edition "Bubu 4 Boobies" tees. Fast forward two years and we are back for another opportunity to raise even more money this time. We've brought back our "Bubu 4 Boobies" campaign and are looking forward to connecting with past friends, raising as much money as possible and listening to survivors share their uplifting stories - like this one from Eva Warden (pictured above):
In February 2000, I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. I was facing nine months of treatment--chemo and radiation. Sometime after the diagnosis, I vowed this would only be an interruption. I was 51, looking forward to being a grandmother, and still had things to do. The treatments were harsh, the wig was hot, but with the support of my husband, children, sisters, friends and the best oncologist around, I spent those months "living" with cancer. I have no doubt that their prayers and those of many others made the difference. I am thankful chemo and radiation were effective, but am eternally grateful for the power of prayer. I am here and healthy through the grace of God. Evidently He still has plans for me. Eleven years later, I am still standing and still have things to do.
— Eva Warden

The Memory
By Neil M. Travis, Montana/Arizona
The sun edged down toward the western horizon, its face now broken by the pointed spires of the pines and firs growing along the river. The sunlight, filtered through the evergreen branches, broke and scattered, shifting diamonds of light on the rippling water.
Sitting on a streamside log a lone angler contemplated the scene before him. Leaves, golden gliders pushed by the soft breezes of evening, settled onto the stream, golden reminders that another season was at hand. How quickly, like the vanishing snows of winter, had the hopes of spring melted into the reality of summer, and now into the inevitability of autumn.
In the spring the stream had run full from bank to bank, its waters dark and mysterious. Under the warmth of the spring sun the stream came alive with new life. Mayflies, tiny ephemeral sail boats drifting down sheltered glides, fluttering and falling, struggling to gain safety of the streamside foliage. The evenings had been filled with their mating flights, exquisite dancers on jeweled wings. Hendrickson's, sulphurs, cahills, each came in turn as spring flowed into summer. With them came the caddis casting aside pupual shucks, skittering across the water, to join their fellows on nearby trees to dash and dart about the branches seeking mates. Evening flights were often like miniature snowstorms as they swirled over the water.
All of them were gone now; even the tiny late season mayflies. Tricorythodes and Pseudocloeon had completed their cycle and in the gathering darkness of this the final day of trout fishing only a few midges danced over the riffles.
It had been a tough season. The proceeding winter had been long and cold. Spring brought high, cold water, and summer was marked by hot, dry days. The stream had suffered. Fishing pressure had been heavy this season, and never before had he witnessed so many anglers here. By early summer many runs were devoid of fish. Many of the late season hatches had gone unmolested except for small brookies and chubs.
The angler lit his pipe and watched the smoke drift away downstream. An errant nighthawk wheeled over the stream, his plaintive call went unanswered since most of his kind had long departed for warmer climes. A Woodcock on stubby twittering wings flew from the tag alders at the edge of the stream and disappeared into the bog beyond.
It was a short walk through the woods from here to where he had parked his car earlier in the day. An afternoon of fishing had produced only small brook trout. The males were bright jewels already arrayed in spawning colors. Each had been admired and carefully released as this was the angler's policy with all trout. He had hoped for one brown on this last day of the season, but they were conspicuous by their absence.
Now he affixed a grizzly skater, tied on a tiny hook, to the end of his tippet. Perhaps he could imitate the hovering midges as they danced over the water. Moving upstream he probed each pocket, each glide, each slick. With practiced perfection honed from years of experience and knowledge of the stream he fished each spot, recalling from memory each nuance of current. Several times in one year he had taken a 15 inch brown from behind that log, but now his fly danced there without bringing any response. Near the bank some underwater rocks, placed there by the angler himself, usually provided a lie for a good fish or two, but tonight they hid only a chub.
The sun had set now, setting fire to the western horizon in a palette of colors only the Master Creator could devise. The family would be wondering where he was so long, and there was a long drive ahead of him that would take him back to the city. He would make a few final casts, then good-bye until spring.
Flipping the fly up, he straightened his back cast and shot the fly up to a smooth glide that would carry it under an overhanging cedar sweeper. In an instant the fish was there, a golden swirl and then he was gone. The angler tightened and the tiny skater skipped across the water. Missed! Would he come again? Ah, no matter he thought. The angler reeled in and slipped the fly into the keeper. He tamped and relit his pipe watching the smoke drift slowly down stream. Gazing out over the stream he gathered in the scene, storing it away to be recalled at some other time, some other place. Slipping from the stream he headed through the darkening forest toward his waiting car. Through the winter to come, and for many winters thereafter he would remember that trout, a golden swirl of promise to treasure until another spring.

PRESS RELEASE – With the increase in the number of participants in various soccer leagues, the number of referees available for league matches also needs to increase proportionately. In order to fit this need, Guam Football Association will be hosting referee courses for those interested to fill in the positions.
"The key qualities for any referee are one, the referee needs to be fit and second, the referee needs to be fair," said Brett Maluwelmeng, GFA Referee Administrator. "The two go hand-in-hand – the referee needs to be in the right position to make the right calls during the game.
"A good referee also needs to be firm in his or her decisions. The referee needs to have the courage to make a call and to also stand by his or her decision," Maluwelmeng added.
Those interested in officiating soccer matches but have no prior experience must be of at least 14 years of age and attend an open, three-session course from Sept. 12 to 14. The sessions will be held 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on all three nights.
Current GFA referees or those with prior experience looking to be assigned to officiate games in the upcoming middle school leagues and the Budweiser Men's Soccer League will be required to attend refresher courses. For the upcoming middle school league, GFA will be holding a two-night course on Sept. 6 and 7 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. both days. The three-session refresher course for referees for the upcoming Budweiser Men's Soccer League will be held Sept. 18 to 20 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. each night. All courses will be facilitated by George Stewart, Guam's lead referee instructor, at the GFA facility in Harmon.
Those attending any of the courses will need to bring a watch with a stopwatch function, a whistle, pen, notebook and cleats. Current referees need to also bring their referee wallet with cards.
The sessions will include a discussion on the Laws of the Game, and depending on which league, certain modified rules. Participants also will partake in a match analysis, as well as a practical session on the pitch, which will include learning proper hand signals for various plays.
Referees also will earn money for games they officiate. The pay scale differs among the various leagues.
For more information about the referee courses, call the GFA Main Office at 637 4321 or E-mail Maluwelmeng at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Donald Trump has lashed out at critics after his attack on a Fox journalist, and insisted he did not imply she was menstruating, but added "Even if I had said she was menstruating like a stuck pig, I would only have meant it in a really positive way."
The tycoon, who had said publicly that Megyn Kelly was "bleeding out of her wherever" continued "I mean, obviously menstruation is gross, unnatural, dirty – and frankly just done to grab attention, but apart from that, I think it's great.

President Obama delivers joint press statement with President Hu Jintao of China
HU: (As translated.) Your Excellency President Obama, and dear friends from the news media, ladies and gentlemen: I'm very happy to meet our friends from the press and media. To begin with, I would like to extend on behalf of the Chinese government and people a warm welcome to President Obama on his state visit. Welcome to China.
Just now I had very good talks with President Obama. The two sides had in-depth exchange of views on how to further bilateral relationship and on major regional and international issues of shared interest. The two sides reached broad, important agreement. The talks were candid, constructive, and very fruitful.
Both President Obama and I believe that at present the international situation continues to undergo profound and complex changes. There are growing global challenges, and countries in today's world have become more and more interdependent. In this context, it is necessary to step up international cooperation.
Against this new backdrop, China and United States share extensive common interests and broad prospect for cooperation on a series of major issue important to mankind's peace and stability and development.
President Obama and I spoke positively of the progress made in the China-U.S. relationship since the new American administration took office. We both agreed to continue to adopt a strategic and long-term perspective, increase the dialogue exchanges and cooperation, and work together to build a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive China- U.S. relationship for the 21st century. We also agreed to take concrete actions to steadily grow a partnership between the two countries to meet our common challenges in order to contribute to world peace, stability, and prosperity.
We both believe and maintain close high-level exchanges and dialogue and consultations at various other levels are essential to the growth of China relations. The two sides agreed that the leaders of the two countries will continue to stay in close touch through mutual visits, telephone conversations, correspondence, and meetings of multilateral fora.
The two sides spoke positively of the important role of the China-U.S. strategic and economic dialogues mechanism in enhancing the mutual trust and cooperation between the two countries. The two sides will continue to follow through on the outcomes of the first round of the China-U.S. strategic and economic dialogues held in July this year. And we will start as early as possible to make preparations for the second round to be held in summer next year in Beijing.
We also exchanged views on the current international economic and financial situation, and we believed that now the world economy has shown some positive signs of stabilizing and recovery. But the foundation for this recovery is not firmly established. The two sides reiterated that they will continue to increase dialogue and cooperation in macroeconomic and financial policies, and they will continue to have consultations on an equal footing to properly resolve and address the economic and trade frictions in a joint effort to uphold the sound and steady growth of their business ties and trade. I stressed to President Obama that under the current circumstances, our two countries need to oppose and reject protectionism in all its manifestations in an even stronger stand.
We both positively spoke of the important role of the G-20 summit in tackling the international financial crisis. Our two countries will work with other members and comprehensively follow through on the outcomes of the various summits. We will also work together to continuously strengthen the role of G-20 in global economic governance, advance the reform of international financial system, and improve the global economic governance to ward off and guard against future financial or economic crisis.
We agreed to expand our cooperation on climate change, energy, and environment. We also agreed to act on the basis of the principle of the common but differentiated responsibilities and consistent with our respective capabilities to work with other parties concerned to help produce positive outcomes out of the Copenhagen conference.
The complementing departments of China and the United States have already signed a number of cooperation agreements, including the MOU to enhanced cooperation on climate change, energy and environment. The two sides have also officially launched the initiative of developing a China-U.S. clean energy research center.
Both President Obama and I said that we are willing to act on the basis of mutual benefit and reciprocity to deepen our cooperation on counterterrorism, law enforcement, science, technology, outer space, civil aviation, and engage in cooperation in space exploration, high- speed railway infrastructure, in agriculture, health, and other fields. And we also agreed to work together to continue to promote even greater progress in the growth of military-to-military ties.

PEDAL@GSE: Practical English for Daily Living was founded in August 2012. It is sponsored by the Penn GSE Educational Linguistics division. PEDAL offers free English as a Second Language classes to adult family members of staff, students, professors, scholars, and post-docs of the University of Pennsylvania. For students within our M.S.Ed. TESOL program, it is an environment in which students grow their teaching skills by connecting the theories and readings of their courses with hands-on practice in a supported classroom setting. In PEDAL, teams of novice first-year TESOL students work with a second-year TESOL student to create and instruct communicative English lessons. Over the course of the semester, the more experienced teacher slowly steps back, and the majority of the planning and instruction process becomes the responsibility of the novice PEDAL team members.
Community PEDAL@GSE was created in 2013 as a partnership with the Walnut Street West branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia. In 2015, Community PEDAL also provided ESL classes at the Lucien E. Blackwell West Philadelphia Regional Library. The Blackwell Community PEDAL classes are currently on hold while that library is under renovation. Community PEDAL classes are open to all members of the West Philadelphia community, and they also focus on pragmatic English lessons. Community PEDAL classes are co-taught by volunteer TESOL students.

There's just so much wrong with what this guy is saying. He says he was being harassed just because someone told him she was a lesbian, he says that his employer "says" that same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, as if that isn't true, and something tells me that he wouldn't care about anyone else getting harassed at the workplace, just himself.
"I'm not the type of guy to complain about this stuff... but I'll work with an extremist advocacy group like MassResistance to get as much attention as possible."

The cap of the shin pad should be centered directly on the kneecap and should wrap around the lower leg. Padding on the shin pads should overlap with the bottom of the hockey pants by approximately 2". Padding should also wrap around the calves for maximum protection.
Shin pads should not restrict movement of the foot in any way. There should be no exposed areas between the top of the skate and the bottom of the shin pad, otherwise the pad is too short. Likewise if a shin pad is too long it may cause discomfort and restrict movement. Shin pads are generally measured in junior/youth from 7"-12" or senior from 13"-18".
Cracked shin pads must be replaced immediately.
Hang dry the equipment after each session. To clean, mix a little laundry soap with water and use a soft brush on the padding.

My mum and I baked together the other day for the first time in a very long while :) She had recently got a recipe from her friend for mini pecan pies. It's originally from The Pampered Chef but thought I would type it up for you guys. They are seriously easy to make and absolutely delicious!
Tart Shells
115g butter or margarine softened
100g medium fat soft cheese
140g plain flour
25g butter or margarine
175g light soft brown sugar
1 egg
1tsp vanilla essence
115g pecans chopped
Icing sugar (for dusting, optional)
I managed to remember to take some pics of the process this time, don't know if this helps!
Preheat the oven to 180C . For the mini cases, beat butter and soft cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add flour and mix to form a soft dough. This can take some upper arm strength (I have none) but does get there eventually!
Shape the dough into small balls about the size of a malteser. Place balls of the dough into a mini muffin pan.
Using your finger, press dough in the middle and push up the sides to make little cases.
For the filling, microwave the butter for a few seconds until melted. Stir in the brown sugar, egg and vanilla essence to create deliciousness!
Add the chopped pecans and stir.
Spoon the filling into each of the mini pie cases.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown. Leave to cool in the pan for about 3 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
The filling turns a bit of a strange colour so you might want to dust them with icing sugar. We were too keen to try these bad boys, so didn't hang around! They were pretty damn awesome and the best thing was the minimal amount of effort and time for something so tasty!

NUERBURGRING, Germany, (Reuters) – Formula One drivers announced yesterday they will withdraw from this weekend's German Grand Prix if the tyre blow-outs which marred Sunday's British race occur again.
During news conferences, drivers sounded confident that tyre provider Pirelli had sorted out the problem by introducing new rubbers for the Nuerburgring race. However, following a meeting of the drivers' union, the tone hardened.
"The drivers of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association wish to express their deepest concerns about the events that took place at Silverstone," a statement said.
"We trust that the changes made to the tyres will have the desired results and that similar problems will not occur during the German GP weekend.
"We are ready to drive our cars to the limit, as we always do, and as it is expected by our teams, sponsors and fans.
"However, the drivers have decided that, if similar problems should manifest themselves during the German GP, we shall immediately withdraw from the event, as this avoidable problem with the tyres endangers again the lives of drivers, marshals and fans."
Five drivers suffered blowouts at Silverstone on Sunday and a piece of tyre narrowly missing the head of Fernando Alonso of Ferrari. Felipe Massa was badly hurt after being struck on the helmet by a loose spring during a race in 2009.
Massa talked of a possible boycott immediately after Sunday's race, won by Nico Rosberg of Mercedes. In 2005, seven teams pulled out of the US Grand Prix in Indianapolis because of tyre safety fears.
After the intervention of the governing FIA, Pirelli has brought upgraded rear tyres to the Nuerburgring with an inner belt made of the synthetic fibre Kevlar rather than steel.
Spaniard Alonso, second in the standings behind Red Bull's triple world champion Sebastian Vettel, said earlier yesterday he was reluctant to take part in a test at Silverstone later this month because he feared a repeat of the blow-outs.
Formula One's governing body responded to the tyre blowouts by deciding on Monday to change the rules and allow race drivers to test revised Pirelli tyres, instead of using young drivers.
"I don't intend to go," Alonso told reporters in the Ferrari motorhome. "It's not a very safe thing racing on the same track with the same tyres. I don't have the feeling I want to go. But if the team wants me to go…"
Before the GPDA statement, double champion Alonso had put his faith in Pirelli to make this race a safer one, even if cooler rear tyres could benefit Mercedes and Red Bull based on this season's analysis.
"Pirelli made some changes so we trust them," he said. "This is the third or fourth change they make in the season already, some were hurting us, some were helping us. I think performance today is the second priority.
"The most important thing is to make it for dinner at home on Sunday. I was lucky … It (the piece of tyre) could have hit my helmet. It would have been like a bullet."
Vettel said before the GPDA announcement: "Like we said last weekend, it has to be safe. It was not what we want, not satisfactory. It's good we have a new tyre here."
Red Bull team mate Mark Webber, who is swapping F1 for the equally dangerous pursuit of Le Mans endurance driving at the end of the season, rejected suggestions that kerbs at Silverstone had ruptured the tyres.
"All of a sudden in the race there were landmines everywhere which no one really predicted," Webber said.
"In the end everyone left there in one piece…apart from the tyres. Pirelli will learn from it, they have to. There's no issues with the kerbs because the track was fine the last five years. I'm a bit more confident they've got more data."
Pirelli has put some of the blame for the Silverstone blowouts on the teams for the way they managed its tyres. It conducted a "secret" test with Mercedes in Barcelona in May for which the German team were punished by the FIA.
Mercedes have been ruled out of the Silverstone tyre trial this month.

Despite latest coup, WikiLeaks facing challenges
Sunday, October 24, 2010; 6:00 AM
"WikiLeaks," said the godfather of whistleblowers, Daniel Ellsberg, "has become the future of unauthorized disclosure."
Speaking Saturday in London, the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers and their damning history of American involvement in Vietnam a generation ago, expressed what is partly hope and partly a reflection of reality: the Internet makes it harder to keep secrets.
But still to be determined is whether WikiLeaks itself is that future, or some other Web site or collection of online organizations. WikiLeaks is evolving, working through challenges posed by the new media model, such as to what degree can a site devoted to holding the powerful accountable hold itself beyond reach? And can a site dedicated to combating secrecy continue to be so secret?
Indeed, as WikiLeaks is trumpeting its latest coup, a number of former WikiLeaks activists are painting another picture of an organization that is out of control, still too driven by the personality and ego of its mercurial founder, Julian Assange.
"I'm too busy ending two wars," is the response one reporter got in an e-mail from Assange after asking for clarity on an issue, according to a source who saw the e-mail, and thought it captured Assange's crusading and peremptory nature.
On Saturday, the tall, thin Assange got up on a platform and, wearing a navy suit and gray-stripe tie, proclaimed that the group's latest disclosure - about 392,000 documents from the Iraq battlefront - was about revealing "the truth."
Certainly the release Friday was a milestone, the result of the largest leak of classified military documents in history and what the editor of the British newspaper the Guardian called "an extraordinary moment in journalism."
A half-dozen or so journalistic heavyweights, including the New York Times, Qatar-based al-Jazeera and the Guardian, released stories Friday based on advance, privileged access to the documents.
The stories revealed that the U.S. military, despite its denials, did keep a body count of Iraqi casualties - at least 109,000 Iraqis were killed between 2003 and 2009, the vast majority civilians. They also gave fresh attention to the grisly abuses of Iraqi detainees, largely by Iraqi security forces, prompting human rights advocates to call for probes into how much U.S. officials knew about the torture. And it added new information about the apparent role of Iran in supporting Shiite militias.
Assange, 39, whose close-cropped blond hair frames an impish face, struck a defiant note against his critics, particularly those in the U.S. government.
Even before the documents and stories were published, the Pentagon issued a statement accusing WikiLeaks of putting at risk "the lives of our troops, their coalitions partners" and Iraqis who collaborated with coalition forces. The statement also said WikiLeaks induced "individuals to break the law" by leaking the material.
Said Assange of the Pentagon: "They are trying to issue deceptive statements to fool the world press into reporting something that is not true."

In February, the Victorian Government launched a review into the state's Vocational Education and Training (VET) funding system, with a view to creating more stable VET sector.
Headed up by former Holmesglen TAFE director Bruce Mackenzie, the review yesterday launched its interim report, with more than 100 recommendations promising a major shake-up of Victoria's open training market.
While the report addresses quality and equity of access to training, the review failed to substantively address the structural problem in Victoria's VET funding model: the contestable funding system, in which private and public TAFEs are competing for subsidised enrolments.

With the death of the Great King of Hyrule, and no prince to succeed him, Princess Zelda, only 19, is left to become the Queen in due time. With her coronation drawing near, she has a vision of a great darkness coming and washing over the world of Hyrule, as well as the neighboring kingdoms of Labrynna and Holodrum.
While it is only a mere myth now that the hero of legends comes when evil rises, the princess is determined to find where he may be. As she tries to comfort her people and assure them that their hero will come, many do not believe her, for none have lived in a time where a hero was ever needed. Because of this, many are gathering to create their own forces to face the evil themselves.
Where will you be when evil stands at the border of our world? Will you fight against them? Or join them?
