What SCLS Stands For
Critical Legal Studies (CLS) movement of the U.S. marked the combination of a legal way of thought (theory, we call it) and a social network of progressive legal scholars of 1970s. From a theoretical point of view, it was a reaction to the inherent conservatism of common law system built on precedents. Critical legal thinkers vigorously questioned the subtle partiality of the apparently impartial and rigid legal doctrines. Critical legal studies question the hidden interests and class domination behind the institutions and politics of laws. Critical thinkers analyzed the historical, social, economic and psychological results of laws and legal institutions. Prior to1930s, the American formalist philosophy that judges decide cases on the basis of distinctly legal rules and reasons that justify a unique result. During 1930s, the Legal Realists philosophers persuasively argued that statutory and case laws are indeterminate, and not based upon law. Judges decide upon what they deem fair in light of the facts of a case. In 1970s, the critical legal thinkers sought to establish a sort of "reasoned elaboration" thesis which does not deny either of the rule based decision making (legal formalism) or the situation based decision making (legal realism). They rather accept the laws as a "prescriptive system" that judges would uncover through reasoned analysis of policies and principles of law without questioning the "basic institutional arrangements of the market economy, of democratic politics, and of civil society outside the market and the state" (Unger, Roberto Mangabeira, The Critical Legal Studies Movement. New York: Verso, 2015). Reasoned elaboration would thereby permit the use of law as a mechanism of social change. True it is that the Critical Legal Studies movement substantially waned within a decade of its emergence. Yet the offshoots of CLS, like the critical race theory, contemporary feminist theory now play a major role in contemporary legal scholarship. An impressive stream of CLS-style scholarship has also emerged in the last two decades in the areas of international and comparative law. Most importantly, apart from the philosophic particularities of CLS, the networking and activist elements in the movement contributed towards a radical change in the U.S. Law School curricula and teaching-learning methodology. The Society for Critical Legal Studies (SCLS) at the University of Chittagong predominantly rests on this "activist" premise of CLS. We do believe that encouraging the law students to think and act from a critical perspective would surely bring a positive change in the legal education of Bangladesh. Such a passionate upbringing and gathering of a folk of critical thinkers and activities would ultimately benefit the laws and legal institutions in the days to come. Seen in this line, SCLS's is a very elementary and simple task – Exploring Opportunities and Expanding Possibilities.

In his first lesson, Matt Hammond demonstrates a fun slide guitar piece he has composed.
Nice song! Do you have more of these? Where can I download the backing-track. Super site anyway!!!!!
Nice beat and feel :) Any more slide songs like this one?
Great song!! hehe God I love this site...anyway... Okay - maybe you can help me - because my local music store- closed .. I've got thick fingers...stupid thick lol and no slide fits on my fingers..any of them. Even on the pinkie it only goes to the first knuckle..and then it's hanging so far off I can't control it. Anyone sell .. uhh.. 'plus sized' slides? LOL I want to use one, but can't seem to find one that fits!
I didnt have any problem with it. Great lesson Matt, keep it up.
Thanks Matt great lesson! lotta fun.
Learning to play songs can be a great way to hone your guitar playing skills.
About Matt Hammond View Full Biography Matt is from Wales in the UK and is 33 years old. His genetic heritage is Celtic. His Dad bought him a guitar for Christmas when he was sixteen and it all started from there. His influences are wide and varied and he likes to play all kinds of different styles. In and out of various bands since his teenage years, Matt remains unsigned. What a crime!
Matt studied Social Anthropology at Swansea University in Wales and went on to do a TEFL course after graduation before going to Poland to teach English for a year. Well the plan was to stay for a year but Matt ended up staying in Poland for seven years, becoming fluent in the language and training to be an interpreter. His love of music and of the guitar continued throughout this period and he played with a few local pub bands in Poland.
Recently, Matt became very much interested in the work of Wayne Dyer which he came across on the net one day after a long, cumulative period of growing dissatisfaction with his interpreting job. He was especially taken with Wayne's message that there is a demand in the world for what you love doing and was encouraged to follow his bliss and to start teaching people to play the guitar. His several years as an English teacher have proved valuable in this pursuit and the number of his students is growing. Matt doesn't bother too much with teaching music theory. He always puts the focus on teaching the students exactly what they would love to play (within reason). Matt has found this to be very a very fulfilling job and has meant that he has unwittingly become proficient in a variety of styles. Matt is very happy to finally be doing what he enjoys for a living. His dream is to play drums in a band, learn Irish fiddle, have a home of his own with it's own fireplace and piano and a happy family to fill it with laughter.

Q: Calculate time of received 802.11 packets I have a router that's sniffing packets and stores the device id, the signal strength and the time stamp in a MySQL database. These are all stored in one table, with the fields: device_id, signal_strength and time_stamp. Each record represents one received packet.
Since I receive packets from multiple sources the records in the database are in a random order.
I want to calculate the time from the first packet per mac address until the last packet I have received. So I won't to know how long a device is measured. This is were I'm stuck. I don't know how to calculate or query this. Maybe my database design isn't optimal?

I'm trying to ORDER BY device_id AND time but I don't know how to ask for the last time per device.  Also a device can be measured more than once per day. In other words devices can enter the sniffing field more than once. So I need to distinguish if it's the first time entered within the field or a second time.
Thank you

A: To start with to get Start and End time you can use MIN and MAX like so
SELECT Device_id
,MIN(concat(date,' ',time)) as StartTime
,MAX(concat(date,' ',time)) as EndTime
,MIN(TIMESTAMP(date,time)) as StartTime2
,MAX(TIMESTAMP(date,time)) as EndTime2
From MyTable
Group by Device_ID

than all you need is to calculate the difference between Start and End time. For that you can use TIMEDIFF function. Full documentation on all these functions http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_timestamp

At least eight African-American cartoonists plan to take part in a Feb. 10 comics-page action to draw attention to the way their strips are perceived and purchased.
For the action, the cartoonists will all do a version of one of Thomas' comics. The theme and writing in each strip will be similar, though "we're all plugging in our own characters," said Bell. The idea is to satirically protest the erroneous notion of many editors and readers that comics by African-American creators are interchangeable.
I call them the Ink 8.
It's a damn shame in modern times, and as simple and friendly as a medium that gets hardly any respect anyway,as comics, can still contain bigoted ideas and social inequality.
I'm proud these gifted black artists are doing this and I salute and support them.
See you in the funny papers Sunday.

FEMSA Logistica Sets the Tone on Sustainable Solutions
Mexico City, May 27th, 2016.– In order to publicize its commitment to its employees, the environment and the community, FEMSA Logistica presented its 2015 Sustainability Report, which, for the first time ever, has an external verification of the 39 physical indicators that have the greatest impact on business, according to the latest version of the methodology of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), (G4), thus guaranteeing transparency and truthfulness of the information reported.
"At FEMSA Logistica we integrate sustainability as part of our culture and business strategy, seeking to align and focus our efforts to promote the company's sustainable growth and the improvement of our communities", said FEMSA Logistica's Strategic Relations and Innovation Director, Alex Theissen.
He also added that, in 2015, the company integrated to their operation and business vision, eight priority issues that guide the business operation in the seven countries where they operate: culture and values; training and development; environmental impacts of transportation and logistics; waste; environmental security; provider development; regulatory compliance and corporate governance and ethics.
In addition, during 2015, FEMSA Logistica reinforced its commitment to sustainability by focusing on creating value on three guiding principles: Our People, Our Planet and Our Community, by organizing activities that contributed a significant change and joined the sustainability strategy, highlighting the following:
• Our People: With an investment of more than $60 pesos million in training, the average number of hours of training of unionized workers increased by 44% and for employees and executives 8%; while in 2015 the number of collaborators over the previous year increased by 12%.
• Our Planet: The investment in this area during 2015 was more than $280 million pesos for fleet renewal, energy, water and waste management. Moreover, efficiency in fuel consumption per kilometer in Brazil and Central America relative to 2013 was improved by 13%, while in Mexico our hazardous waste decreased by 2% compared to 2013.
• Our Community: FEMSA Logistica is the first company in Mexico (and second in Latin America) to receive the ISO 39001 Certification. According to the terms of its Integrated Security System, its operations of primary and secondary distribution are subject to periodic evaluations, in order to ensure compliance with its security policy and promote continuous improvement of their processes. That is why FEMSA Logistica manages to keep the loss ratio below the average of companies in the logistics services sector in North America.
FEMSA Logistica has a clear vision towards 2020: reducing specific CO2 emissions from the operation of primary distribution in Mexico by 7%, and decrease the indicator generation of hazardous waste by 20%, marking the path toward success to consolidate as a leader in logistics services. Currently, it is the source of employment for over 18,000 people.
The company reiterates its commitment to continue working on the challenges that arise every day regarding sustainability, based on the understanding of the environment, the needs and expectations of its stakeholders, and its sustainability vision aligned with the strategic framework of FEMSA.

CoachAccountable is the UBER of coaching software!
Hey Ophelia! Thanks, I think! Uber kinda has a checkered reputation for some of the ways in which they do business, but to the extent that they're a well-liked service that is beautifully executed… I appreciate the compliment!
John, you're right. Uber's reputation is now tainted. I did mean that as a compliment, though. Please pardon my feeble attempt, lol. I absolutely LOVE CoachAccountable and highly recommend it. The features, support…it offers so much! And I continue to be amazed by new features. I love the blog and also the webinars! I will be sharing CoachAccountable with more coaches and also utilizing the Resource package feature. Nice!
Thank you for your consistent work, skills, and dedication.

Why Study Here? Philosophy Brochure Testimonials
Undergraduate Programs Major Minors Courses Optional Areas of Emphasis Student Awards Philosophy Club Resources
About Contact Us Speaker Series Alumni Connection
Optional Areas of Emphasis
Philosophy majors may focus their studies on a particular area of philosophy by completing one of the following Optional Areas of Emphasis. Courses taken to complete an area of emphasis are counted toward the 10 courses required for the major. Completing an area of emphasis requires passing three courses from one area. The optional areas of emphasis are:
Ethics, Law, and Society
Mind, Brain, and Cognitive Science
Science, Technology, and Medicine
This area of emphasis allows students to focus on issues in moral, legal, and political philosophy. It provides opportunities to explore fundamental questions of value, justice, responsibility, and the moral life, and also philosophical issues that are foundational in other fields, such as law, economics, and public policy. Students can choose from courses in ethical and political theory, in applied and practical ethics, and on specialized topics such as liberty, neuroethics, and philosophy of law. This area of emphasis is excellent preparation for law school, graduate study, and careers in public policy or public service.
PHIL 3371 – Social and Political Philosophy
PHIL 3372 – Liberty
PHIL 3373 – Philosophy of Criminal Law
PHIL 3374 – Philosophy of Law
PHIL 3375 – Topics in Moral Philosophy
PHIL 3375 – Topics in Moral Philosophy: The Meaning of Life
PHIL 3375 – Topics in Moral Philosophy: Procreation and Parenthood
PHIL 3376 – Bioethics
PHIL 3377 – Animal Rights
PHIL 3379 – Environmental Ethics
PHIL 3380 – Ethics: Morality, Self-Interest, and Justice (formerly Ethical Theory)
PHIL 3381 – Neuroethics
Philosophers have long been concerned with the nature of the mind and its place in nature. Increasingly, contributions from psychology, neuroscience, and computer science have informed age-old questions concerning consciousness, cognition, perception, and the nature of the self. At the same time, these new developments have also raised new philosophical problems. The Mind, Brain, and Cognitive Science emphasis provides a solid foundation both in traditional philosophical approaches to understanding the nature of mind and in perspectives from the various sciences of the mind. This area will especially appeal to students interested in careers in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and cognitive science.
PHIL 3312 – Introduction to Philosophy of Language
PHIL 3313 – Knowledge and Skepticism
PHIL 3315 – Philosophy of Mind
PHIL 3316 – Minds, Brains, and Robotics
PHIL 3317 – Philosophy of Perception
PHIL 3318 – Colors, Sounds, and Other Appearances
PHIL 3319 – Identity, Persons, and Other Objects
PHIL 33xx – Philosophy of Psychology
Many philosophers have been concerned with our acquisition of scientific knowledge, the ways in which scientific advances affect our lives, and the many new ethical issues that these advances raise. Classes in this area involve conceptual issues that arise in particular sciences, questions about how science does and should work, and ethical issues involving scientific advances, especially in neuroscience, technology, and medicine. This track would be especially useful for students seeking a well-rounded background for careers in science, technology, or medicine.

Price comparison site Compare The Market is reviewing security after a newspaper investigation exposed failings in its current system.
The Sunday People revealed that only an email, surname and date of birth were required to access a Compare The Market account.
The lack of a password-protected system meant personal data – including address, value of home contents and marital status – were all at risk of being hacked by fraudsters and could have left users at risk of being burgled, or having their information used to apply for financial products such as credit cards.
Compare The Market has now stopped site users from accessing the data.
Customers attempting to log into the site now receive the following message: "We are upgrading our website with a new password system. Please come back tomorrow to retrieve your old quotes or simply start a new comparison using the icons below."
The Information Commissioner's Office is currently investigating the security breach.
A Compare The Market spokesperson says: "We take the safety of our customers' data very seriously and have moved immediately to put in place a new password protection system and remove this issue.
"We'd like to reassure our customers that this issue has been rectified but, should they have any questions, invite them to contact us directly."
Set a password as soon as possible. Compare The Market's new password system is expected to be up and running by tomorrow. Log in as soon as you can and set a password to protect your information.

I am from a Muslim family (and was married into a seriously staunch muslim family) but I gave my life to Christ over 30 years ago while in University. And even though I have strayed, backsliden (that is how I ended up in the marriage I had) and even at some point, questioned my faith, I find that I keep coming back to Him and am still very much, and even more than ever before, a fully and unequivocally committed Christian and God Worshipper.
THIS, is the only relationship I have never been able to walk away from.
Because of His unfailing love. And his everlasting Mercy & Grace that keep drawing me back to Him..
And the good news is – it is available for everyone who comes to Him.
Give Him a trial today.


You can print it for the wall, but the smaller one below also shows what you need within a smaller diagram which may be better to print and carry with you. To do this you want to look for pull cable like the following. This is a helpful pattern to remember. This gives you the relevant switch of T568A to T568B and vice versa, i. Transmission at the High-Speed mode requires the addition of 45 ohm termination resistors between each data line and ground.
This one is optional for this exercise, but handy if you cut your long cable and then need to reconnect it! The way to do it so you never need to rely on printouts again is by using the memorization tools below. Just follow the steps below to create your own. Typically a battery pack sufficiently requires 4. We will continue to use them for all our non-standard cable requirements. If you want a larger diagram see further below.
Best price by far, Delivery in a flash! The sad little blueberries have to be on something — they are on the land, so they come first before the land blue before green. Note all we really have is the orange base color pair swapping with the green base color pair. Transistor T1 is used to give the regulated output.

There are certain main reasons why you are interested in details about rj11 phone jack wiring, and surely, you are looking for different concepts for your needs. If you look closely at the picture, you can see there is the center hole in the wall of the box, so you can pull through as needed great for long runs with the clip to hold the end of the cable until next use. The source hot at the switch is spliced with the red cable wire to the outlet and a At the receptacle, the red connects to the top half of the outlet. Connect the output to a suitable charger pin to connect it with the mobile phone.
The usual components in a wiring diagram include floor, energy, cable and link, output devicesand switches, resistorsand logic gate, lighting, etc. The best part of his blog is that he regularly answers to most of the queries put to him by his readers patiently, which is not commonly seen in other websites and blogs.

Alan Smith Arcane Direct Marketing Great customer service fantastic communication nothings to much trouble. The first thing you need to do when making Ethernet cable is make sure you have the right tools. We have used Leads Direct on various occasions for all sorts of weird and wonderful leads that we use in the telecoms industry. It is a mass storage device capable of functioning like a hard disk of computer. The white wire on the switch loop is used to carry current from the source to the switch and it is marked with black tape or paint to label it as hot. You can remember which cables are switched by remembering twelve thirty-six to thirty-six twelve 12 36 to 36 12 for the Ethernet cable plug pin numbering above. An engineer for over 25 years, as he became more experienced, Jeff was required to review other engineers' work and naturally gravitated to teaching and mentoring others.
We know, we might own different thoughts, but, what we do just wish to assist you in finding more references regarding rj11 phone jack wiring. There are many different memorization hooks you can use. Therefore, from wiring diagrams, you understand the relative location of the components and the way they could possibly be connected. I've done just fine without a Linkedin profile so far, I don't want to start one now. I'm very impressed you can take a request for a custom cable and make ten of them within a few days and ship them out, and charge a very reasonable price. But the feather in your cap was the excellent service yesterday when at 4:25pm, despite believing the deliveries had already been picked up, your sales representative went and checked, just to make sure. Unless you want a crossover cable.
This diagram shows the original T-568 pinout wiring order. The power cores are un-twisted and the data lines twisted. I carry one of these around with me just in case I need to quickly make a longer cable. These battery packs have 3 NiMh or Lithium cells having 1. Check local regulations for restrictions and permit requirements before beginning electrical work.
A couple of email regarding my order one of the leads out of stock alternatives offered accepted one of the alternate that was more expensive this was supplied at no extra charge. The Electric Toolkit provides some basic electrical calculations, wiring diagrams similar to those found on this website , and other electrical reference data. At the switch, the black wire is connected to one terminal and the red wire is connected to the other. Follow the step by step instructions below. Or you might like to find your own cable color for that matter. Can you pick which pairs are swapped relative to the T-568B wiring diagram? Here is a diagram I hope will help.

Q: custom validator for last day of a month - c# I'm new to asp.net, so plz bear with me: I want to create a custom validator to check if the input date given in a textbox (which has a calendar extension(AJAX)) is the last day of a month or not. Here is what I tried to do:
protected void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs e)
{

    DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(e.ToString("dd/MMM/yyyy"));
    DateTime lastOfMonth = new DateTime(dt.Year, dt.Month, 1).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1);
    if (dt == lastOfMonth)
    {
        e.IsValid = true;
    }
    else
    {
        e.IsValid = false;
    }

}

I think the problem is the way I'm handling the object 'e'. Any help is greatly appeciated. Thanks a lot in advance!

A: You are right. e is not the date, it is an instance of ServerValidateEventArgs. You should get the Value property from there. Value is a string, that you will need to convert to a date time, then do your validation.
DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(e.Value, "dd/MMM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
{
    // validation of dt here.
}

You will need to know the format the date is expected to be in an parse that, so I suggest to use DateTime.TryParseExact. You will also need to pass in the correct culture, that the date is formatted in, since parsing rules depend on that - especially in this case where you have MMM as part of the pattern, because that will be different between cultures.
In general you should use the TryParse family of methods when parsing dates or numbers that come from user input. These will not throw on a failure, but return false. If the return value is false, the parsing failed, in that case you should fail validation.

A: I have some extension methods which you could take a look at which will allow you to return the last day of the month and compare the two dates...
they are open source... http://zielonka.codeplex.com/

        {
            return new DateTime(dateTime.Year, dateTime.Month, 1).AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1);

Most people don't remember how truly terrible Disney's movies were in the 1970s. I mean, they were concisely rotten movies. People kept going to them because of their memories from the 1960s movies. But disappointment was inevitable.
Even projects underway, such as Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion stalled in their opening for half a decade.
Then, EPCOT came out in 1982. This sterile facility had massive corporate structures, designed to be high-volume capacity and impersonal. EPCOT's was a perfect reflection of sterile, corporate, unimaginative thinking present in Disney.
Then, management at Disney changed in the 1980s. Not Eisner (who gets much of the credit) but Frank Wells…an inspired and creative individual recruited to Disney by him. Disney rebounded once again…not from Eisner (who simply raised park admission prices) but because of creativity.
I see Disney's history as almost exactly matching that of Apple and Steve Job's death.
It comes as no surprise that Apple management is disappointed by the progress of Apple's car (Project Titan.) It comes as no surprise that the iPhone 6 isn't as classy looking as the iPhone 5. And, it comes as no surprise that I no longer stand in line for new Apple products. My upgrade frequency has slowed.
Even Apple's keynotes have gotten both boring and longer. They used to be a tight, riveting 60 minutes. They were entertaining and surprising, and if you had to go to the bathroom while watching you would miss something exciting. Today, they drone on and on while they try to hype things by using superlatives.
After Walt's death, Roy Disney (Walt's brother) took over operations. Like Tim Cook he was an operations man. Largely devoid of innovation, he droned on while never really understanding how creativity was what was exciting. Disney had labor problems under Roy as well.
The more I think of Walt Disney's death and the Disney company the more I realize it is very analogous to Steve Job's death and Tim Cook. Tim has a knack for wringing the excitement out of things.
My wife is an excellent judge of trends and of what is classy. She instinctively picks up on things. And she declares that the iPhone 5 is classy and the iPhone 6 is not. End of story. I rest my case.
The future for Apple is, I fear, bleak. And, i worry for my Apple stock's long term value.

-Are Roadside Crosses a Violation of Church and State?
by Dr. D ~ July 21st, 2017
We have all seen them- roadside crosses put up by friends and family as a memorial to loved ones killed on the highway. Since they are in fact put on public land are they a violation of church and state? Members of the atheist organization- Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) believe so and have complained about them on a number of different occasions. The latest in Salem Oregon:
Tucked away in overgrown grass along the side of a road in Salem, Oregon, was a small, white cross, commemorating the life of a mother who died in a tragic car wreck at least a decade ago. But that tribute has since been voluntarily removed by the family after a prominent atheist group complained about its location.
In late June, the Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a notice to Salem Mayor Chuck Bennett (D), demanding the 4-foot-tall Christian symbol be removed because it was positioned on city property — an "unconstitutional endorsement of religion."
Rather than fight the complaint, the family decided to simply remove the memorial because they didn't want the intimate tribute to get caught up in a firestorm of scrutiny.
Response: Can you imagine the sadness and the feelings of the family in this story when they 'voluntarily' removed their mother's memorial?
Are roadside crosses really a violation of church and state? No. but intimidation from the intolerant FFRF atheist group has resulted in many cities and jurisdictions in removing crosses from public parks and properties and the cleaning up and removal of roadside memorials.
When it comes to memorial roadside crosses, they were put up by friends and family and not by government authorities. There is in fact no 'endorsement' or sponsorship of a particular religion in this case. Only sympathy and toleration by government officials.
It really isn't and church and state issue. It is in fact a display of intolerance by atheists when they insist on the removal of all crosses on public lands. Government jurisdictions are complying all across America in order to save money on legal fees that would be incurred if they had to go to court.
The atheists are winning the day mostly by default. It is my contention that once crosses have been taken off of public lands then they will turn their efforts towards eliminating crosses seen in public on private lands. This has already happen in several cases. Atheists have complained to businesses that have allowed crosses on their property and have been active in supporting city regulations defining rules minimalizing the size and visibility of crosses even on church properties. *Top

Excellent tour guide. My grandson and I enjoyed both the professionalism and knowledge/experience of Csaba. We booked this tour quickly and would not have been able to visit the Highlands without Csaba as a guide. Thank you so much.
Casba was a knowledgeable and delightful tour guide. He knew so much about the history and ledgens of Scotland. We really enjoyed listening to him. I only wish that we could have spent a little more time in Portree! What a great little town! Casba was also warm, friendly and funny! We loved our time with him!
Csaba met us (5 people +luggage) up at the ferry port in Armadale (Isle of Skye) and provided an extensive tour of the Isle of Skye. We fit about all we could see into a long one day tour. We were completely satisfied with everything we visited and it was interesting to talk with Csaba along the way, he is a fantastic guide! We wish we had time to do more touring with him during our trip! After the tour he transported us to our hotel for the night. A splendid, fun filed day for sure!
We had a short time in Ullapool Scotland and wanted to make the most if our time. Our cruise did not offer an excursion to see Loch Ness and the GeoPark. Csaba was very knowledgeable, friendly and was a delight to be with. He kept us on schedule and delivered us back to the dock with time to spare. We covered a lot of geography and throughly enjoyed our day with Csaba. Please thank him for us once again, and we highly recommend engaging his services if you are anywhere in the vicinity of Inverness.
Dezso was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodated our wishes to see the different places that we wanted to see and had good suggestions for other places. We were lucky we had great weather, only one complaint: he could not keep the midges away from Chris! Would be happy to use him again if and when we come back to Scotland.
Loved, loved, loved this tour and this guide! Very knowledgeable about the area and the history. He showed us some amazing sights. We booked him as a private excursion from our cruise ship. He was very conscientious of our time available on shore and made sure that we had a full day and that we got back to our ship on time. Great tour and great guide!
Excellent guide, very fun tour. He was very easy to understand, car was clean, and very good driver. I would highly recommend this guide and tour!
Thank you for a great day at Dunrobin Castle! We appreciate our private tour with you. We had a great time!
Great tour!!! Dezso did a great job of customizing a two day tour of Skye and offered suggestions on how to make most of my travel plans. Skye was gorgeous and Dezso made sure we saw every inch of the beautiful island. Great guide!
Csaba was most knowledgeable about British and Scotish history and took us to some places I would never have known about. We told him we did not watch "Outlander" but were happy to see the sights and enjoy whatever he could show us of interest. He took us to ancient ruins and open battlefields, all the while giving us a great history lesson. Our tour began and ended on time and continued at a good pace. We were most comfortable in a large van with needed air conditioning . Highly recommend Csaba!
We had a great day with Csaba! He fully customized our tour and made it very smooth. We saw everything we wanted to and more. Highly recommend this tour and Csaba.
Our tour driver/guide was exceptional! Dezso was extremely knowledgeable. In addition, he was flexible, accomodating and thoughtful. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great! Thank you!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you guys! It's all about making memories! Glad you enjoyed and hope to have you back in the future!
Csaba was everything we hoped for in a guide: friendly, completely reliable, funny, informed about local history and lore, and accommodating when it came to planning a tour around our interests. He obviously knows the Isle of Skye very well and was enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge and his favorite places with us. We definitely recommend Csaba and wouldn't hesitate to book him again.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I'm glad you guys enjoyed your tour and my commentry. Skye is a special place in my heart and I'm always glad people can live the experience through me and the places we visit! Thank you and hope to see you again!

David Newton, 56, from Cropwell Bishop, and daughter Rebecca Newton, 21, of Gunthorpe, were both killed when the plane came down on August 21, 2013.
A PILOT and his daughter were trying to return to an airfield in Wymeswold when their light aircraft crashed probably due to an engine problem, a report has revealed.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch report says: "The evidence suggests that the pilot had abandoned the planned flight and was flying a low-level circuit to land back on the airstrip, probably as a result of an engine problem.
"The airspeed decreased during the turn onto the base leg, probably resulting in a stall and subsequent loss of control.

Three candidates miss deadline for campaign finance reports
Dan Schwartz
The Daily Times
FARMINGTON — Campaign finance reports for candidates in the recent general election were due last week, but three candidates missed the deadline to file and their reports still were not available Monday.
One of those candidates was in a race that attracted the most money in San Juan County. And, with a single exception, the candidates who raised the most money won their races.
Reports from Harrison Todacheene, Matthew Tso and Doreen Johnson were not listed as of Monday on the New Mexico Secretary of State's website. The filing deadline was midnight on Thursday.
Efforts to reach Todacheene and Tso on Friday and Monday were unsuccessful.
Johnson said Monday afternoon that her report would be submitted by 5 p.m. that day. A member of her family died, and that is why the report is late, she said. She mentioned no significant expenses or income for the reporting period.
The fourth and final set of campaign finance reports record donations received and transactions made from Oct. 29 to Nov. 29.
The secretary of state's office can fine each candidate $50 per business day a report is late, spokesman Rod Adair said. As of Monday, Tso had run up $4,750 in fines from the secretary of state's office for failing to file or filing late reports, Adair said.
The office encourages candidates to voluntarily comply with the reporting requirements, but it can also refer cases to the offices of the attorney general or local district attorney, Adair said.
"I guess we will have to start doing that with Mr. Tso," Adair said, "though the decision has not yet been made."
Candidates with overdue reports cannot run in another election until they either pay their fines or Secretary of State Dianna Duran dismisses their cases.
Todacheene, a Democrat, ran against Republican incumbent Sharon Clahchischilliage for the state representative District 4 seat in the Nov. 4 general election. District 4 covers an area that includes Shiprock and Kirtland. Clahchischilliage won.
Their race attracted the most contributions of any race in San Juan County. According to her campaign finance reports, Clahchischilliage received more than $112,000 — the largest amount of money for a single candidate — adding $4,425 in the final report. Todacheene's three reports show he has received more than $69,000.
Both candidates' third campaign finance reports recorded their largest expenses during the race. The third reporting period spans from Oct. 7 to Oct. 28. In those reports, Clahchischilliage spent almost $32,000 and Todacheene spent almost $31,000.
Approximately two thirds of the money Clahchischilliage spent that reporting period, she said, was to counter Todacheene's radio ads with her own. Clahchischilliage's fourth finance report shows her largest expenditures were also for radio ads, spending almost $4,600 in total.
"His attack ads started about three weeks before the election," Clahchischilliage said, "and I had to jump on board then. That's when I started responding."
Her ads began airing on numerous radio stations around that time, she said.
Every campaign the representative has run has gotten negative at the end, her opponents "saving the worst for last," she said. Their ads, she said, cut out and paste together clips of information but never tell the whole story.
"The goal is to present the out-of-context message," she said.
Clahchischilliage and Todacheene received significant donations from political action committees. The District 4 seat they ran for was one of the few around the state that Republican needed to win in order to gain a majority in the House of Representatives. They succeeded.
Except for one race, all the local candidates who received the largest amounts of campaign money won. Political action committees appear to account for more than 15 percent of the race's total donations, according to a Daily Times data analysis.
Johnson, a Democrat, had received approximately $30,700, according to her first three reports.
Johnson ran for the state representative District 5 seat against Democrat Sandra Jeff, a write-in candidate, and Johnson won. Jeff raised far less money — $3,170.
Republican Rod Montoya, now the District 1 representative, raised almost $24,400 compared to the approximately $11,250 his Democratic opponent, Gordon Glass, raised.
Republican James Strickler raised $18,025 in his successful bid for District 2 representative. His opponent, Nathan Thompson, a Democrat, raised no funds.
Republican Margaret McDaniel raised approximately $8,650 in her race — which she won — for county commissioner District 2. Democrat Ervin Chavez, her opponent, raised $2,850.
Republican Rena Scott raised more than $5,300 and Democrat Tso didn't raise any money in the race for Division 2 Magistrate Judge. Scott won.
Democrat Trudy Chase raised $4,711 in her race for Division 4 Magistrate Judge, and she won. Her Republican opponent, Melvin Sam, raised $1,358.
Democrat Wallace Charley, defying the trend, raised no money but beat Republican Sammy Ahkeah who raised $3,040. They were competing for the county commission District 1 seat.
"I'm just happy it's over with," Clahchischilliage said.

Paul "the Barber" Chachulski dies
By Chris Winters Herald Writer
Wednesday, October 28, 2015 7:23pm
Local NewsEverettLocal news
EVERETT — Paul Barber, the barber of North Broadway who didn't raise his prices for 15 years, died Oct. 22 from injuries he sustained in a fall. He was 65.
A Michigan native, he moved to Washington from San Diego in the mid-1970s.
He had been bound for Alaska to work on the trans-Alaska pipeline. He stopped for gas and a coffee, he told The Herald last year, saying "the gas was bad and the coffee was good."
So instead of continuing north, he settled in Everett and eventually started cutting hair, opening his first shop on Broadway in 1985. He started calling himself Paul Barber (his last name was Chachulski), which is how most people remember him and his one-man shop, which relocated in 2000 to 1001 Broadway, across from Everett Community College.
The barbershop is now closed. He had planned to close it Oct. 31 and retire, his wife, Molly Chachulski, said.
Business had slowed down in recent years, and construction of the new University Center building in the parking lot outside his shop kept traffic away.
In May 2014, the Chachulskis' home at 2010 23rd St. burned down. They discovered after the fact that they were underinsured, and began a nine-month ordeal to collect on the policy and pay off their mortgage so they could start over.
They eventually did resolve the insurance issues and in April bought a home on three-quarters of an acre in Tulalip, Chachulski said.
The couple were avid gardeners with a plot at the Red Barn Community Farm in the Lowell neighborhood. They gave up that plot to garden at their new home.
Barber and Chachulski met in Index in 1981 and bonded over a mutual love of science fiction.
"I didn't really like him much when I first met him, but he was really interesting," she said.
He was also generous, and rushed to her aid when she had trouble with her son's school in the Sultan School District, a broken-down car and a broken leg all at once.
"I decided at that point that even if he was kind of a jerk he was going to be my friend for the rest of his life, or my life, whichever came first," she said.
They began a friendship that survived long periods of separation while Chachulski took care of family in Michigan or worked in Alaska.
Romance came slowly and they married in 2009. A year later, Chachulski retired and moved back to Washington and into Barber's 1910 bungalow, where they remained until the fire.
Barber was a musician, able to play French horn, trumpet, trombone, saxophone and flute. He could pick his way around a keyboard, guitar, harmonica or a nose harp, one of his favorite instruments, Chachulski said.
He was always generous with his time or money.
"I was frequently ticked with him for giving away all his money to people who came to the barbershop in need," Chachulski said.
"He said he'd been homeless twice in his life and couldn't say no," she said.
Paul Chachulski born July 10, 1950, in Royal Oak, Michican, to Stanley and Margaret Chachulski. He is survived by his wife, Molly Chachulski of Tulalip, and two stepchildren, Victor Drake of Seattle and Janet Compton of West Richland. He also is survived by his brother, Frank Chachulski of Everett, and his sister, Fran Thompson of Arizona.
A memorial service will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Nov. 15 at the Carl Gipson Senior Center, 3025 Lombard Ave., Everett. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the senior center.

A Punter, Not A Quarterback
A former candidate for the US House of Representatives from Wisconsin, David Yankovich:
Mueller said basically- I spent two years writing a report and gave you my findings, you did nothing.
So, I had to come out here and spell it out for you. I couldn't do anything, but you can. Here's the football.
— David Yankovich (@DavidYankovich) May 29, 2019
But he did not spell it out- and Mueller has chosen not to translate for the American people the Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election. In his statement Wednesday, delivered live from the Department of Justice, on Wednesday, he stated
The indictment (i.e., of Russian intelligence officers) alleges that they used sophisticated cyber-techniques to hack into computers and networks used by the Clinton campaign. They stole private information and then released that information through fake online identities and through the organization WikiLeaks. The releases were designed and timed to interfere with our election and to damage a presidential candidate.
Sorry, no. Mueller could, and should, have made it clear, as in: "the releases were designed and timed to interfere with our election and to damage one presidential candidate, Mrs. Clinton, and to aid the other major candidate, Mr. Trump."
The Special Counsel remarked
And as set forth in the report, after that investigation, if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.
That certainly implies that the President committed a crime. However, if that were Mueller's intent, the Special Counsel could have (accurately) added "instead, we laid out the instances which suggest obstruction of evidence may have occurred."
Disingenuously, Mueller stated that Volume 2 of his report
explains that under long-standing department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional. Even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view, that, too, is prohibited.
It is, presumably, the opinion of Mueller and Attorney General Barr that charging a President with a federal crime is unconstitutional. But notwithstanding Mueller's assertion, it is by no means clear, and no court has ruled on the matter. The memoranda were prepared, first in 1973 during the Nixon impeachment battle, then in 2000 on the heels of the Clinton impeachment, by the Office of Legal Counsel, all of whose deputies are politically appointed. Moreover, according to one former OLC deputy and current Circuit Court Judge, the DOJ is not "presumptively bound"by OLC opinions
And Robert Mueller made it clear Wednesday that he does not intend, even if he appears before a Congressional committee, to put any meat on the bones of a statement which does little more than summarize his report. He is the quarterback who has said "I called the play but if you want me to help you execute it, you're out of your mind."

Cuomo: Coronavirus hospitalizations in NY drop below 800, lowest since March
NEW YORK - Just 799 people in New York have been hospitalized due to COVID-19, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo, the lowest number of hospitalizations in the state since March 18.
Testing found 730 new coronavirus cases in the state, while only six people died due to the virus, giving New York it's lowest three-day average death toll since March 16.
"Throughout this pandemic, we've made progress by recognizing that state and local governments can't fight the virus on their own—the efforts of everyday New Yorkers to socially distance, wear masks and wash their hands are central to our ability to slow the spread and save lives," Governor Cuomo said. "As we allow ourselves to celebrate some good news—that hospitalizations have dropped below 800 for the first time since March 18 and the three-day average death toll is at its lowest since March 16—I urge residents to stay New York Tough and not give up the ground we've worked so hard to gain together, particularly in the face of rising cases throughout the country and compliance issues here at home."
A prayer service was held at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Saturday to bless the ashes of Mexicans who have died from the coronavirus. Their remains will be taken to Mexico for burial.
Deaths in several other states were rising, meanwhile, including Arizona, Illinois, New Jersey and South Carolina.
The virus has killed more than 130,000 people in the U.S. and more than a half-million worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University, though the true numbers are believed to be higher.
New York state has recorded nearly 25,000 deaths, according to an official state tally that doesn't include people who likely died of the disease.

While our passion is rooted in floral design, we truly believe there are so many other ways to customize an event to YOUR preferences, YOUR taste, YOUR style. Events should not only be produced – they should be designed and authentically sculpted. They should be tailored to each and every client's personality and wishes.
From over-the-top to subtle elegance…from edgy chic to traditional…from never-been-done-before to the current trend…from large to small and everything in between. Our design team is both passionate and committed to making every vision a reality.
Specialties include, but are not limited to: linen selection, table-scape planning, centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, ceremony décor, reception enhancements and overall event design.
"The Bridal party and family florals were absolutely the most beautiful that we ever could have imagined. The comments from guests about the table floral arrangements were amazing. They said they have never seen such beautiful table center pieces at any wedding they have ever attended. You were a big hit!!!"


How did you select Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies as your major?
I didn't really know what I wanted to do when I first got here. Then through taking some of my core classes, just to fulfill university requirements, I really liked a lot of social science classes. Sociology was when I was first introduced to gender studies. When I learned a little about that in sociology, I wanted to learn a lot more, so I eventually decided to major in it.
Did you bounce around between a few different majors?
Oh yeah. When I first came here, I did financial planning, which is far from anything I want to do. I don't know why I chose that. Then I went to psychology. I still think that's interesting, but it's a little too sciency for me. I had interest in science majors, but I didn't really have strengths in areas like science and math, so I just felt like a liberal arts major was a better fit for me overall.
How off-base is it to assume that most of the people in your major are women?
In all my WGSS classes, the majority is definitely women. Yeah, I'm definitely a minority within that major. It's not really (uncomfortable). I don't mind it.
What classes have resonated with you within the major?
I really like learning about the different types of experiences and the diversity of people. I feel like that's really what the major is all about. It's not just about women. It's about a ton of different groups. It's about different racial groups, different gender identities, different sexualities. It's about everything – just about human diversity in general.
What's the story behind the independent study you completed with Professor (Jennifer) Freeman Marshall?
This past summer I went to the Trans Philly Health Conference (the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference, an annual meeting of transgender people, advocates, and health service providers). Once I came back from that, I don't remember how we got started talking about it. I was just telling her about it and how it was and she said, 'It would be cool if you could write a paper on that or do something where you could get some type of credit out of that experience.' So based off the experience of going to that conference, we decided that doing an independent study about transgender communities and resilience within transgender communities would work. So that's basically what the whole project was centered around.
What were your conclusions in that project?
I analyzed a lot of autobiographies by trans authors, a lot of different research papers that were more current on stuff like that. I identified certain resilience strategies of transgender people of how they just survive everyday life and struggles.
There are aspects of this major that are still pretty new. Is there something appealing about studying in a major that can be molded as society changes?
I feel like it's always very current. It's not something where, yeah you learn about older things, but you stay in the loop with current events, too. I really like that aspect of it.
When you look ahead toward your professional career, what avenues are you interested in exploring? Where do you think this major is going to lead you?
I've been looking at jobs related to the health field. Not exactly medical, but health services. I think it would be cool to work in some type of clinic that mainly serves LGBT populations or work at some type of health clinic that's for underprivileged people that might not have the resources to get proper healthcare. There's so many different possibilities of directions you could go with it, honestly. It's really whatever you want to do.


Gosh, with these resumes, we could start our own environmental consulting company and vote green (as in Nader).
That is side of it that got all of the media attention and it is pollution control of a major sort!
I don't know about Nader as Gorbachev started the Green Party after he went out of power in USSR!!
The earth is very resilient. You couldn't convince an environmental wacko of that.
Don't forget to send your carbon credit donations to Al Gore. His wife needs some new shoes. I hear she's after a pair of whale skin boots.
Isn't he a major pollutant???????
...To quell the urge to farm, I plant a large garden. It ranges from one-quarter to one-half acre. I give most of it away.
How does $12.99 for 4 ears of corn sound? How about $24.99 for a MEDIUM sized watermelon? $7.99 for a bunch of really brown bananas?
Your words about giving away produce made me cry. I miss having a garden. I miss having a produce section that you don't have to take out a second mortgage for. Even the produce section we do have has 2-3 items in it at a time, if you're not there at the right time you don't get anything.
Sometimes I feel like those monks in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" who keep banging their heads with a board. I guess somebody has to teach these kids.
Can't have a garden where your at? Here in Fort Yukon (above the arctic circle) a good many people have gardens. I hear you on high prices though........being a milk lover I find it a little disturbing to pay $13.00 a gallon. Or a gallon of gas for $5.50. Most of my fruit and veggies come from a can.
It was my understanding that Alaskans can grow produce just fine, but have a very short growing season to do it.
I really couldn't tell you what vegetables cost in the store, but it's fairly cheap. I live in an area that has a 365 day growing season. We just change crops, depending on season. As an example, we grow cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, spinach and all other greens, carrots, onions, turnips, and beets in the winter months. In the early spring, we grow potatoes and corn. In the summer we grow everything else. We have to plant corn early (mine is already up) because the pollen in the tassel dies when the daytime temperatures reach around 100 degrees. I put up lots of what I grow by freezing and raise our own beef and eggs. For instance, I freeze about 300 ears of corn per year. I also have an orchard with peaches, plums (both wild and domestic), pecans, blackberries, and mulberries. Last month I expanded that to include almonds, figs, pears, pomegranates, avocados, and jujubes. Watermellons here sell for about $2.00 at roadside stands. Cantaloupes run about 2 for $1.00.
This area gets about 18 inches of rain per year. Most of that falls in September and May, so we do have to irrigate during the heat of the summer.
When I was very young we lived in Chugiak, about 12 miles north of Anchorage. We had a nice garden there, I mostly remember picking peas and of course lots and lots of berries. I know we had a pretty good sized garden.
Right now I'm teaching on the Yukon River Delta. By October we're frozen and we don't see grass until June. Even in the summer the only thing that grows around here is grass, it's a friggin' swamp. If there's one thing the old BIA did to piss me off it's to put my old village school here where they did, there really wasn't much of a village before that. Now it's an artificially created village where no Yup'ik Eskimo would have chosen to live 100 years ago. They had better sense than that.
What does land sell for up there (Yukon River Delta)? I don't know how I would adapt to the cold. I guess you get used to it after a while.
I guess we pretty much strayed from the forum subject, so I thought I'd throw this in: Boo on Hillary and Obama!
There really isn't a place you could buy. This is a federal wildlife refuge. The land that's not protected belongs to the Natives and believe me, they ain't selling. Besides, trust me on this one: You don't want to live here.
As for adapting, you're right. A good part of the winter it's -20 to -40 here (which is still warmer than where roklok's at.) When it gets to 0 here people are wearing light jackets. I've had my heavy parka put away since the beginnig of feb. because it hasn't really gotten much colder than -10. I wear my Carhartt hoodie and that's plenty warm enough. It was 25 today, many of the kids were carrying their jackets because it's too warm for them to wear a coat at all. My wife and I stayed up here last summer because we were taking Masters courses full time (online and call in) and didn't want to be bothered travelling during our classwork. On the days the temp got to 70 degrees we had all our windows open and every fan in the house on because we were dying from the heat.
