Shawn Olson Guestbook

Was just contacted by Cambridge who's who and after the phone interview, the woman replied," I believe you are just what we are looking for and would like to welcome you." Feeding my ego, she did a great job, emptying my wallet, not so much. Ending the call; priceless. Thank you for the words of wisdom. Deflated the ego, but still have my money!!! haha Trisha

Very good work, it works very well, do you know how can I save the new changes back to the css file? I mean write to the css file and save the changes, so when I get back later the new styles are all there.

insurance is important in business, especially in goods shipping, and insurence against civil claims. However insurance for physical person's use can be justified only in few cases - e.g. if you live in really disasterous region or you have dangerous work.
Everything else IMO can be covered and will work more effective by creating personal savings account and put aside some sum. The logic is of course simple - insurence companies are very very negative to pay out any money and will find proof that they have no obligations in particular case. If you can finance your own misdeeds, you're safe and don't need to stress about them.
A person should be able to finance for himself at least a month in hospital etc. The situation is different in countries where strong healthcare system is established.

Thank you so much for this tip. It has worked so far and by reading the other users' comments, it seems to be the fix. I also use third-party lenses.

Much appreciated, Shawn. Thanks for organizing research and saving people headaches and money.

Chris Distefano said: [ Regarding Manipulating Element Styles Based on CSS Classes Using Prototype ]

I've aggregated data via a web service and would like to manipulate my styles based on what the data brings in. E.g., the local temp is below 30 so I want to display a blue color theme on my site - as opposed to the normal harvest color. Have you heard of this being done? Thanks.

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

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

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.
