J R said: [ Regarding The Paradox of Cultural Relativism ]

Hey Shawn,

Although I agree that both relativism and universalism do not stand on their own (especially in a deeper intercultural context), I don't think you took the right approach. I think your article presupposed the existance of a number of western ideological dichotomies which do not exist universally -- like your concept of "progress", or cultural progression. You're defining this term within the context of your own culture. Tricky, I know! :)

I know this article was written quite a while ago, but I'd recommend you check out Philippe Descola's criticisms of universalism and cultural relativism, and then Eduardo Viveiros de Castro's work on perspectivism. Tania Stolze Lima does some good ethnographic work in the same field -- all pertaining to amazonian cosmology, but still, would bring you a bit more up to speed on current anthropological theory.

Cheers,
J

I had this problem too with Max 09 I solved it by going to:

1)Click Customize
2)Click Customize User Interface
3)Click Quad tab
4)Click the Reset button
5)Save - click yes to save over the old settings

It works for Max 09, I don't know what 2010 setup is. I hope it helps

JD Long said: [ Regarding The Big Insurance Scam ]

I have searched and searched for a book I read back in the 80's, entitled "How Insurance Companies Rip You Off, and What You Can Do About It". This was after getting my insurance license so I could sell for A.L. Williams (which is another story). The book was written by a man who had been in the Million Dollar Round Table and became disenchanted with the Whole Life business, due to the inequities in the pay back vis-a-vis the premiums paid. This was a great expose' book. I would love to read it again, but I'm afraid the insurance companies have bought and destroyed all the copies. How's that for a conspiracy theory? I'm really pretty sure the title is right, but I don't remember the authors name. Have you or anyone else ever heard of it? I actually checked it out from the library in about 1982. Now, it's not even in Bookfinder.com. Thanks, JD

Insurance is organized crime at it's worst. Raise revenue, cut expenses. That is the companies fidicuary responsibility to it's investors. The insurance companies are not in the business of helping people, they are in the investment business. This is the basic problem with insurance. In most cases we are legally forced to buy it. Our premiums are invested to give the company and investors their return. The less they pay out to customers the more return for investors. This is capitalism, and that's great. I'm a business owner, that's how I provide for my family and employees. The difference is, I can't deny my customers service, lie to them about what I'm going to do, or drop them as customers if the use my service. Does that make sense to anyone; pay auto insurance premiums for years, get in an accident and either be dropped or have your rates go up! What other "business" can operate this way and get away with it. Insurance needs to be non-profit or non-mandatory. It is one of the big, sad lies of our society and it's a pathetic shame. If you work in the industry, shame on you. You'd be better off working in one of those "penny stock" boiler rooms, cold calling fools to invest their hard earned money in the latest big deal.

Dewey Is Absolutely beautiful! I have a beautiful golden retriever boy at home named Remington. His champion registered name is: Remington Steele Your Heart, and that he does.
Golden Retrievers are the best dogs, they are so good with families, and children, and people in general.

Golden Retrievers are the best dogs to have, they are good with people and children, very eager to please, and very smart as well. They are also very gentle and mild mannered and can be comical at times.
I cannot say enough about mine, he is truly the love of my life, and if I could, I would have a whole house full of golden retrievers.
If you give them your heart, they will give you theirs in return.

I just can't say enough about mine, he is truly the love of my life.

Joe King said: [ Regarding Canon 10D Err 99 ]

If cleaning the gold contacts fixes your problem, it will likely reoccur later. Gold is plated over nickel as the normal electroplating process. Most gold plating normally always has small pores in it that expose the nickel underlayment. These tiny pores allow nickel oxide to form/grow. Nickel oxide is an insulator. When it grows up through these tiny pores in the gold, it prevents the intended electrical contact between gold to gold connector surfaces. Gold plated to 30 microinches or thicker is usually immune to this as the aspect ratio of these pores won't let the nickel oxide to grow up to the thicker surface that the 30 microinch gold presents. The pore problem takes large magnification to detect.
This problem can also occur if the gold plating has been scored by repeated make and unmake of the gold contacts (repeated installation and removal of the lens) down to expose the nickel plating underlayment. This type of damage should be observable under reasonable magnification.
Hope this helps out.

I was contacted by Continental Who's Who while I was away from the office. I filled the form in @ their website quite a while ago, just like you wrote about. The fellow has called again but I wasn't able to take the call. Thanks to you, I now know what to look out for. If you're a real "Who's Who" in your industry, I think you'll be better served by joining and spending time (and money if you want to upgrade) on business networking websites like LinkeIn.
Cheers...

Susan D said: [ Regarding Scams to make you feel cool ]

Thanks for the heads up. I received a call from Biltmore Who's Who and also got caught up hoping for quality networking for my business. I gave them my cc info but had buyer's remorse. I searched to see if it was a scam and found a lot of "articles" stating they weren't. (Most articles were from a site that allows you to publish your own article) I was able to stop the payment! Thank you so much!
