Status Anxiety (2002)
by Alain De Botton
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Nothing particularly earth shattering or revelatory here (in fact you're likely to spend your time questioning and challenging quite a lot of the rather bold historical assertions here) - but it's timely philosophy lite for the somewhat bemused. If you're suffering from a vague feeling that things aren't quite what they should be, then this is a good read to make you realise that they were never going to be...
An organised book that unpacked many aspects of anxiety from the perspective of causes ( loneliness, snobbery, expectation, meritocracy, dependence. He then looks at solutions . An interesting book that causes the reader to reflect on their own beliefs.
With its short chapters this makes for great toilet reading. More than that though, I find de Botton to be one of the most inspiring authors. He's got a knack of bringing the works of philosophy down to our level.
"Status Anxiety" by Alain De Botton is a sparkly book that, for the most part, I enjoyed immensely. However, like other readers, I have some problems with it.
First of all, a gentle reminder to everyone who approaches a "philosophical" book like this one: all this rationalizing of reality can be helpful sometimes, but it is often overestimated, especially by academics. Even though it should be obvious, people tend to forget that reality stays exactly the same, with or without philosophical analysis. The immense respect that our society gives to the rich and "officially successful" doesn't change an inch. Philosophy therefore achieves little more than providing perspective, or what could be in other words described as "shooting the shit".
The book can be summarized as follows: we are all anxious about our sense of status in the world. Today's problem is our egalitarianism. We no longer believe that people who are worse off are "unfortunates", as that was the old term for them. Instead, they are now "losers". It is their fault. So we fear failure more than ever, because it is our fault. This is the flip side of meritocracy, which we consider a good thing, but which is really a tyranny of expectations. Also, we envy everybody who does better, at least in our eyes.
De Botton sets out five causes of status anxiety (lovelessness, snobbery, expectation, meritocracy, dependence) and provides what he believes are five cures for the ailment (philosophy, art, politics, religion and bohemia).
From the start, this set up my hopes quite high, because other books on sociological topics (i.e. Zygmunt Bauman's books on consumerism) do not do anything more than analyzing a problem, which leads everybody sane to the ultimate question: "So the heck what?". At least, I said to myself, De Botton made the effort to offer some solutions to the problem he presented. Yeah, well... while that is true, I will explain why his solutions are really not satisfactory, and why this is overall a rationalistic and therefore unrewarding kind of book.
But first, let me complete the positive part of my review: some reviewers arrogantly blame the author for being "pop", for lowering the fine abstractions of philosophy to the level of corny self-help manuals. They are wrong. I think De Botton is a deep and erudite thinker, certainly more than capable of writing a brick-heavy dissertation on any philosopher, but he also wants to reach out to many readers, who cares whether that is for a high concept of sharing wisdom with the masses, or for a desire to sell as many books as possible, or for both reasons?
Now, the problems I have with his presented "solutions": the book concludes by recommending that we simply spread our risks and take advantage of the vast variety of ways in which success and failure can be defined. If we are depressed by our uselessness, then we should simply change our reference points. I found this stance a little too weak, impersonal, commonsensical and melancholic.
But what I found annoying is the transparency of the author's personal preferences, hidden behind an appearance of total objectivity and utter absence of any opinion. And this is a very typical problem with philosophy in general.
Let me explain: De Botton chose an academic career path in a world (ours) where they will often tell you "he who can, does; he who can't, teaches". Where, in fact, academic success is considered nowhere near the highest graces of success in business, and, in particular, success in making tons of money in general. So it's not such a wild guess to say that, as a very competitive individual, De Botton has probably always been bothered by rich businessmen, lawyers and bankers who often get more respect and love from society than philosophers and professors. And if he hasn't, at least he does a lot in the book to build a huge damn case against these rich lawyers and bankers, they who achieved the success "commonly recognized" as success. Can he be totally objective about it?
Another problem: in the chapter "religion", he treats faith as "just another way to cope with anxiety", absolutely interchangeable with "philosophy" or with politics or with being a Punk. I guess De Botton likes too much his own atheist or non-religious perspective, to be able to speak about religion with any type of real understanding. He keeps referring to Christianity and Christian values without ever giving the slightest hint of whether he thinks it's all great or it is all a load of crap. I find this type of fake detachment to be slightly cowardly: you are not talking about minerals and rocks. You chose to talk about the most important topics of human existence, of which you, Alain De Botton, are fully a part, therefore posing with such a detached attitude is equivalent to position yourself on a higher ground. It comes across as arrogant and, at times, frustrating ("so what?"). It gives the impression of a very cold scientist who is looking at his experiment or his study, not because he cares about any of the people involved in the study, but purely because he enjoys the study itself. Where is his heart, in all this beautiful philosophical talk? Aside from his love for art and literature, no other emotion transpires. Nada. And while this "forcing the emotions out" might be the very distinctive sign of the philosopher's "profession", I find it useless, dehumanizing and unrewarding.
The chapter on religion is not even about religion. It is about the concept of death, and, in one single sentence at the end, De Botton gives an imprecise interpretation of the concept of God. So is it fair to present it as a solution at all, when you provide such a limited and biased perspective on it?
The chapter on Bohemians is the one where De Botton's "objective detachment" most clearly fails, because he LOVES this solution so much, and it shows. After a great eulogy of Henry Thoreau, he goes on to say that the delightful punks across all the Earth, the haters of the bourgeoisie, have actually understood the secret of life, or something along those lines.
Then again, why "Bohemians"?? Why choose this peculiar definition to end a list of very general and wide categories, like philosophy, politics, religion? I am confused. It's like saying: "here's what I'm going to talk about: sport, food, wheather, and cheerleaders' choreography". What about the hundreds of other similar movements, like Grunge, Punk, whatever else? Why not "vegetarianism", then, why leave that one out? Anyway, in this chapter, he aptly and perhaps unconsciously offers the most valid proof of the fact that nobody is immune from our basic instinct of trying to climb on top of each other's heads like monkeys. Because the very best man is, at the end of the day, the one who reads and thinks and loves art and writes all the time. And, oh! guess what De Botton does all day long?
But please dont take my rant aI really don't want to be unfair. I truly enjoyed the book, very much. At times, De Botton's deep passion for history, literature and art jumps at you in such a genuine form, that is inspiring and almost moving. Seriously, his love for quoting famous works of the past and the present, the delight he takes in doing that, the way he chooses really interesting "pearls", anecdots and quotes, is not something I see much as a trick, but rather as a sign of his true deep love for these things. Like the love of a dedicated collector. There lies, in my opinion, the real beauty of this book.
And this is ultimately why I would recommend it and why I liked reading it!
Finally, I have to say that I listened to the audiobook. I think the reader is a very good one (I heard his voice before, in some books about Pacific Ocean travel) but he should have toned down his own sense of humor, because at times he gives a sense of arrogant sarcasm to De Botton's voice that does not make it look good at all, and you are left wondering if it was really intended to sound like that.
I enjoy Alain de Botton's cheerful, breezy books which take on a weighty subject and provide easy to digest answers taken from art, literature and philosophy. It's a mix of self-help book, descriptions of novels and paintings (including the pictures and paintings as well as technical diagrams) and philosophical musings, a very readable combination which some might accuse of shallowness. I find them pleasant to read and always have fond memories of his How Proust Can Change Your Life, which made me really want to read Proust for the first time. Status Anxiety is in the same mode, as the author looks at the unhappiness of being a person of no account.
First, he takes on the causes of the unhappiness. It's harder to find love and friendship when one is of lower status and there are unfulfilled expectations of material wealth and achievement. Since society should be a meritocracy now, anyone who fails does so because of their own inferiority. Working for someone else creates an unhappy dependence on other people and forces outside of anyone's control. De Botton has several solutions – philosophy (to learn that only some opinions are worth listening to), art (to read about unpleasant high status characters, laugh at them in comedies, see that they are susceptible in tragedies and to be inspired by depictions of ordinary people), politics (to learn other philosophies besides the prevailing wealth=value, possibly bring about change), religion (focusing on life and death instead of status) and bohemia (actively disdain the bourgeoisie and ideas of wealth and respectability, valuing people for reasons besides status). There are some small complaints – some wandering off topics, the religions section is mainly about Christianity – but this is a pleasant and enjoyable book as usual.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375725350, Paperback)Anyone who's ever lost sleep over an unreturned phone call or the neighbor's Lexus had better read Alain de Botton's irresistibly clear-headed new book, immediately. For in its pages, a master explicator of our civilization and its discontents turns his attention to the insatiable quest for status, a quest that has less to do with material comfort than with love. To demonstrate his thesis, de Botton ranges through Western history and thought from St. Augustine to Andrew Carnegie and Machiavelli to Anthony Robbins.
Whether it's assessing the class-consciousness of Christianity or the convulsions of consumer capitalism, dueling or home-furnishing, Status Anxiety is infallibly entertaining. And when it examines the virtues of informed misanthropy, art appreciation, or walking a lobster on a leash, it is not only wise but helpful.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:35:05 -0400)
"This is a book about an almost universal anxiety that rarely gets mentioned directly: an anxiety about what others think of us; about whether we're judged a success or a failure, a winner or a loser. This is a book about status anxiety." "Alain de Botton, asks - with lucidity and charm - where worries about our status come from and what if anything we can do to surmount them. With the help of philosophers, artists and writers, he examines the origins of status anxiety - ranging from the consequences of the French Revolution to our secret dismay at the success of our friends - before revealing ingenious ways in which people have learnt to overcome their worries in their search for happiness. We learn about sandal-less philosophers and topless bohemians, about the benefits of putting skulls on our sideboards and of looking at ruins." "The result is a book that isn't just highly entertaining and thought-provoking, but genuinely wise and helpful as well."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

More than a dozen girls in this tiny New York town have started displaying Tourette's-like symptoms, but nobody seems to know why.
In the tiny town of LeRoy, New York (population 7,641), more than a dozen high school-aged girls have been displaying unusual jerks and stutters -- symptoms similar to those of Tourette's Syndrome -- for about three months. More than a dozen is, at the time of this writing, as specific as one can get because the number continues to climb. (A teenage boy and a 36-year-old women have also started displaying these symptoms.) Before the breakout, Le Roy, first settled way back in the 18th century, was best known as the birthplace of Jell-O.
More unsettling than the tics and twitches themselves is the fact that nobody seems to know what is causing them. There are a couple of theories, though, the most prominent of which is that a 41-year-old toxic spill has contaminated the groundwater used by LeRoy Junior-Senior High School (enrollment 460). All of the individuals currently affected aside from the 36-year-old woman, Marge Fitzsimmons, who remembers swimming as child in a quarry near the toxic spill site, attend LeRoy. This possibility has received the most attention because, in January, Erin Brockovich and her longtime associate Bob Bowcock, a water treatment and testing engineer, visited the town to conduct their own environmental tests.
Best known as the woman portrayed by Julia Roberts in the eponymous 2000 movie, Brockovich is the mastermind behind the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in U.S. history. After years of work as a legal clerk to Edward L. Masry, Brockovich received $333 million for hundreds of clients affected by a harmful chemical compound used to prevent rust in machinery was released into the drinking water of Hinkley, California, by Pacific Gas & Electric.
Criticized as a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning all other possibilities must be exhausted, conversion disorder dates back to Sigmund Freud and was formerly known, more controversially, as hysteria.
Brockovich, who came to LeRoy after receiving an email from a parent of one of the teenagers, believes that this case could be similar to the one that made her famous. She has spent her time in LeRoy around the site of a December 1970 train wreck located about 3 1/2 miles from the school. That month, a train operated by Lehigh Valley Railroad derailed, spilling about 30,000 gallons of trichloroethylene (TCE) and 2,000 pounds of cyanide crystals. Lehigh Valley worked to flush the chemicals -- and accompanying odors -- into trenches by spraying 1,000,000 gallons of water on them over four months, according to a 1999 report from the EPA.
TCE has been linked to cancer, toxicologist Dr. LuAnn White told CNN. But it's not a proven carcinogen. Besides, White said, TCE would be cleared quickly from the body. After a few days, it wouldn't even show up in urine or blood tests -- and any symptoms would disappear. White, the director of the Tulane Center for Applied Environmental Public Health Sciences, said the students would have had to have been exposed to huge amounts of TCE for an extended period of time to show symptoms, and none of them, not even 36-year-old Marge Fitzsimmons, had been born when the TCE left behind by the derailed train cars was as its strongest.
And the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the New York departments of environmental conservation and health, and an independent firm hired in December by the high school have already tested the grounds and determined that the spill was cleaned up properly. "All of these agencies and professionals from these agencies have assured us that our school is safe," LeRoy school district superintendent Kim M. Cox wrote in a letter distributed to the community this past week, according to CNN. "There is no evidence of an environmental or infectious cause. Environmental causes would not discriminate (regarding who becomes infected)."
There is at least one other theory, though. On Friday, a pediatric neurologist working out of Buffalo diagnosed three more of the young girls with conversion disorder, bringing the total number to which he has given this diagnosis to eight. "These eight cases all had significant life stressors, a common factor with conversion disorder," he told the Messenger Post. "Tic-like symptoms may be a sign of conversion disorder and conversion disorder is more prevalent in females. Symptoms can be severe." Physicians working out of the DENT Neurological Institute have also diagnosed some of the affected girls with conversion disorder. Among medical professionals -- though, granted, not environmental activists -- there seems to be agreement that conversion disorder is, in fact, the culprit.

Video: The Scythe and the Stone
The Scythe is the melodramatic name I've given to the sharpest part of Raven Ridge, my home slope near Grand Junction, Colorado. Got out there early this week and the lift was EXCELLENT! The Sky was BEAUTIFUL! And the Book Cliffs were DRAMATIC!
A scythe (say it like "size" with a lisp: "sithe") is also the long, slightly curved blade-on-a-stick that farmers used to use to cut down hay, and that Death wanders around cutting down swaths of people whose time has come. So, between that and Raven Ridge, it's possible that there's a little too much Halloween going on in my head.
Be that as it may.
The singletrack-sharp ridge and the gently curved bowl that leads to it were the scene of some frighteningly fun flying. The wind was 15-20mph at the edge, out of the perfect SE. Lift was superb, and the DS groove was going OFF!
Best of all -- for you video junkies -- I happened to have the video cam along. (I'd "already done" Raven Ridge in the last video, and almost didn't bring it.) And my buddy Glenn was along to wield it.
My trusty Spinner DLG -- which seems to push the envelope of its design spec -- was in good form. And -- at long last -- the elements collided: I got to fly it in good lift AND have a good cameraman along.
There's a little of the Weasel Pro also. Showing its DS stuff. And an interlude -- The Stone -- of the flying over the edge of a convoluted "no retrieve" rock cliff that I got in on last weekend's trip to Moab. Whew! I'm already having sooooo much fun flying and doing these videos, it's sort of ridiculous that I spent a meal-less, sleepless day/night writing, arranging and performing the whole soundtrack -- Just to add to the fun!
So... Enjoy!
The Scythe
As usual, please download to your hard drive before viewing. It works better that way for everyone.
|Nov 12, 2005, 03:14 AM
At this rate, we should start a channel - maybe a HD channel on DirectTV just for Sloping videos.
|Nov 12, 2005, 04:08 AM
Great video as usual.
But I've got one question. Where's the Moth?
You've got this great DS ridge and are DSing it with a foamie
handlaunch that looks to be trying to fold in half and a squirly Weasel.
|Nov 12, 2005, 04:20 AM
hey, back off of the weasel "BEE BOY"
I love his videos. I hope to pick up a good camcorder so I can start putting some of my own vid's up.
Are you guys gonna get any flying in this weekend or will you be weathered out?
Can't believe I'm up at 1 am. I was just trying to finish a couple of planes but have run out of steam.
Yah, Like he said Where's the Moth?
|Nov 12, 2005, 04:48 AM
flown and DS'ed Greg's. His is squirly and hard to fly fast, compared to.. well..
everything. His might be partly setup, but there are definitely better/faster
foamies for the task.
|Nov 12, 2005, 06:08 AM
Boah, wie geil is das denn?!
...wich translates into the english...
Btw, your video site is very nice designed.
|Nov 12, 2005, 10:38 AM
That said, DSing a Weasel is a real challenge and the upside is that everything else will be easier!
Sweet video... isn't that bass line from an Eminem song?
|Nov 12, 2005, 11:53 AM
Cool vid. It must be hard to get a Spinner DLG (that is what it is, right) screeching like that in DS.
There's a certain entertainment factor to be had by DSing planes that aren't supposed to DS. I DSd my ArtHobby Falco the other day and it was way fun. Got it screeching as well.
My favorite part of the video was when Danny Bonaduce launched your Spinner.
|Nov 12, 2005, 01:07 PM
Great video! Love the sound of the DSing action...though I do disapprove of the Weasel abuse! LOL!!! Where's your cg on that bumpy little bugger???...behind the TE?!? Fun stuff and a beautiful site. Must feel like you're stanindg on top of the world.
|Nov 12, 2005, 11:17 PM
Hey! Thanks for the good comments! Man, am I having fun! Love the flying, the shooting, the creating, and the sharing.
Ian: Moth? I thought all I needed was a Bee?
(The Moth still lies in partial ruin from an "incident" at Lands End last month. Must... repair... soon...)
Surfimp: Eminem stole that bass line from me! (I guess. I don't know that song of his, but I do like the bass line! Makes me fly faster just listening to it in my head.) The best reason I could think of to DS the Weasel was to see if I could do it. Answer: sort of.
screamin' eagle: I spent months and months trying to DS the Spinner (or anything) with no real success. Two things seemed to make the change for me: One, finally seeing it live with Ian at Glacier ridge. That helped all the videos I'd been watching begin make sense. Two, flying The Scythe (Heh, heh. So dramatic!), where the shear layer is generally so clean and sharp that it's actually kind of easy. It's like remedial DS when the winds are light. (If you want to see what I'm talking about and need a good nap, watch the very boring At Last video under Other Flight Videos at www.lavawing.com) Like many things I've done, it was easier to start slowly, and work up from there. With the narrow ridge, sharp shear layer, light plane and light wind, I couldn't get much slower. And mistakes happened so slowly I could learn to correct them. Or, if I couldn't, the plane wasn't going very fast when it crashed.
I think I'm getting onto it now. For a DLG flyer, anyway.
InTheLift: It is a very beautiful site in it's stark and dramatic way. I've enjoyed the view anyway on those days I did not end up In The Lift. There are steep hiking trails to the top of the Book Cliffs, and someday I'm going to load up a pack full of planes, hike up, and throw them off. (Afternoon SW winds off the west side of Mt Garfield!!)
I just balanced my Weasel on two sharpened chop sticks, and the CG is 4 3/8 inches behind the leading edge at the side of the fuse. I don't even remember what the recommended CG is. But any further forward, and it feels like I need too much push to fly inverted.
Next project: Build or fix something, I hope. (Sorry. No video of that.) But, uh... We're going back out to Raven Ridge tomorrow, and I'll have the cam along...
|Nov 12, 2005, 11:25 PM
Hmmmm -
I just may have to bring the GV-60 there to the Scythe in the spring when the wind is pumpin. Heck maybe as soon as I get it built.... It's only an hour and a half's drive.
|Nov 12, 2005, 11:32 PM
Joe: I'm not sure I understand. You "may" have to bring the GV-60? Of COURSE you have to bring it! I'll allow you ONE flight elsewhere to trim it out, then you're HERE!
|Nov 12, 2005, 11:40 PM
I'll trim it at Lands' End ( Skys' Beginning )

The correct Chinese writing that expresses the same meaning is 热卖中, with "ing" in this ad replaced by "中". The shop owner chose to use an English word instead of a Chinese word to make the ad more fancy and interesting than other ads, and to attract eyeballs of consumers. We cannot say "none of them has (yet?) been conventionalised as representing the English '-ing'".
THE internet is replete with funny Chinese signs in English, but a friend currently in Kunming, in southwester China, sends in a doozy of an unusual one. He translates it as "fall fashions, selling fast." (The characters are autumn, style, hot and sell in that order.) What's unusual is the borrowing of just a single bit of English: that "-ing" ending. Chinese doesn't have a progressive aspect that closely mirrors the English "running" and such. So this seems to be nothing more than to add a little foreign glamour to a bland shoe-sale sign.
Normally when foreign words and sounds are imported into a language, they are rendered into that language's writing system. France is called Faguo in Chinese. The "Fa" comes from "France", but it's rendered with the Chinese character 法. 法 means something like "law", but ever since the Chinese bolted it to "-guo" for France, the "law" meaning is lost, maybe a bit like most people don't think of "Argentina" as particularly silvery.
Here, though, none of the many characters pronounced "ying" were used. Though one might have been, it probably would have been confusing, since the characters also have meanings, and none of them has (yet?) been conventionalised as representing the English "-ing".
Also weird is that while borrowing from one language to another is common, borrowing grammar is not nearly as common. It does happen: Romanian, a Romance language, is influenced by Slavic grammar, for example. But borrowing a suffix like this isn't common. I wonder if it'll become more so as English penetrates further into China. (Or if Chinese authorities will react against it, as they have done with Roman-letter acronyms.)
Addendum: Ben Zimmer notes that Mark Liberman covered this ground in 2008. If so, the real news here may be that Chinese "-ing" has made it from Hong Kong and Taiwan, where we might expect this to begin, as far as Kunming. It's a big city, but far inland, away from China's outward-facing coast.

Definitions for ethnicityɛθˈnɪs ɪ ti
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word ethnicity
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
eth•nic•i•tyɛθˈnɪs ɪ ti(n.)(pl.)-ties.
ethnic traits, background, allegiance, or association.
Category: Common Vocabulary, Anthropology, Sociology
an ethnic group:
Representatives of several ethnicities were present.
Category: Anthropology, Sociology
Origin of ethnicity:
Princeton's WordNet
an ethnic quality or affiliation resulting from racial or cultural ties
"ethnicity has a strong influence on community status relations"
The common characteristics of a group of people.
An ethnic group.
Ethnicity, is Yanni's 13th studio album, released in 2003, extending his "One World, One People" philosophy. It peaked at #27 on Billboard's "Top Internet Albums" chart and at #27 on the "Billboard 200" chart in 2003. It also peaked at #1 on the "Top New Age Albums" chart in 2004. This release sparked what would become the 4th largest concert tour of 2003, ranked by Billboard Magazine. One element distinguishing Ethnicity from previous albums is the extensive use of human voices, not only solo arias and group chants, but also bona fide lyrics, a rare departure for the artist. "The Promise," for example, is an adaptation of an earlier composition, "Secret Vows," featuring lyrics from longtime friend Pamela McNeill and sung by powerhouse vocalist Alfreda Gerald, a member of Yanni's Tribute tour. The album's final track reflects his own cultural heritage with a traditional Greek island folk song, "Jivaeri".

.- Speaking on Vatican Radio about the upcoming first anniversary of the death of Sister Lucia, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, Archbishop of Cologne, said the last surviving witness of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima was a nun "filled with common sense and trust in God."
Sister Lucia died one year ago at the Carmelite Monastery of Coimbra. Francisco and Jacinta Marto, the other two children who witnessed the apparitions, were beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2000.
Cardinal Meisner, who was a personal acquaintance of Sister Lucia, shared his memories of the late nun with Vatican Radio. He remembered her as "a very sober religious; she was the treasurer of the monastery. She was a sister full of good humor, common sense and great trust in God," he said.
Recalling his last visit with her three years ago in Fatima, the cardinal said he brought her a white cassock as a gift from Pope John Paul II. "As I gave it to her," he said, "she took it into her hands and said, 'It would have been even better if the Pope came with it'."
Sister Lucia died in 2005 at the age of 97. The Church celebrates the feast of Francisco and Jacinta Marto on February 20. This Sunday the body of Sister Lucia will be transferred to the Basilica at Fatima. The ceremony will be broadcast live on EWTN (www.ewtn.com).

1994 BMW 540i Question: check engine light goes on and off. noticable shaking in car at idle
Answer #1matte April 05, 2010, 16:57Master
That's strange that a local shop can't scan it. I think it's an OBD 1 system . . . you should seek out a BMW or European specialist in the area. Any competent shop should be able to help.
You have some sort of complex driveability problem, and you'll need an experienced diagnostician to track it down.

The local foreign car dealer said his scanner could only read 96 and up
his scanner was having trouble communicating or there was no communication.said I would hav to go to a BMW dealer
Replymatte, April 06, 2010, 10:24Master
That may well be true. He doesn't have the right tool. Another BMW shop in the area may have the right tool--you could call another, or go to the dealership.

try changing your fuel filters. seriously i had same problem and that was the fix.
Answer #3Visitor, July 24, 2010, 13:01
I have a 2003 540I with 69000 miles. I had the same problem and it was a number 2 coil misfiring. I have a friend thats a bmw mechanic and he fixed it for me.
Answer #4Visitor, September 08, 2010, 12:38
Run the car for a bit, especially if the car was jump-started with one of the charger kits. A lot of times the vehicle will have to sync before the check engine light goes off and the rough idle stops. I had the same thing happen with my 1994 740iL. Runs fine now.

I believe people are the greatest resource of any country, and as such should be properly invested in at their level. My involvement with community service organisations (all voluntary and focus on two key issues EDUCATION and HEALTH), began in 2003 with the Lions Club, then from 2006 onwards, with 2 separate student organisations at the University of Papua New Guinea (PNG): the UPNG Peer Educators & The Voice Inc. I'm also involved with The Rotary Club, PNG Youth Alliance on HIV/AIDS (PNG YAHA), and a new initiative with the PNG Health Department and UNFPA to establish youth & adolescent friendly health centres in PNG. In addition, I'm a current (2010-2013) Action Partner for PNG with the Oxfam International Youth Partnerships (OIYP) program, and am the PNG delegate to the 2011 One Young World international youth summit in Zurich come September. With my anthropology and sociology background, a passion for environmental issues (the land is VERY important to Papua New Guineans), cultures (and indigenous issues), I hope to contribute effectively and sustainably to my people and the world. ps. I love music (the arts in general) and think football/soccer is the world's greatest sports:)

Chewing the scenery dangerous even deadly
There are plants growing in your yard that are poisonous. Some may just have leaves or seeds that are the problem and for others it's the whole darn thing. Most of us aren't going to go around chewing on the plants, but children and some pets may do just that.
House plants include dieffenbachia or dumb cane, sansevieria (also know as mother-in-laws-tongue), philodendron, spathiphyllum or peace lily.
Outside, the list gets really long. Whole plants include: belladonna, bleeding heart, bluebonnets, calla lily, carnation/dianthus, Caroline jessamine, poppies, autumn crocus, larkspur/delphinium, elephant ears, foxglove/digitalis, hellebore, lily-of-the-valley, narcissus/daffodil/jonquil, oleander, periwinkle, privet, wisteria and yew.
Stems, leaves and berries include: nightshade, mistletoe, morning glories. Foliage and seeds of the castor bean, leaves and roots of caladium, roots and seeds of four-o'clock, leaves and berries of Jerusalem cherry, stems and leaves of primrose.
In the vegetable garden — yes, there too — everything on the tomato except the fruit, and thank goodness for that, otherwise it would just be a weed! The green stems and leaves of potato, the leaves of rhubarb.
Just about everything on the list above applies to animals as well, especially livestock. With one horse left out here, I'm mindful of what I plant near the fence to his pasture, knowing he's going to try his level best to stick his nose where is doesn't belong and sample what he sees.
On our website — www.txmg.org/wichita — under "Gardening Information for Our Area," you will find lists of poisonous plants for people and animals. A good reference book is "Toxic Plants of Texas," which is written to help livestock producers, but it's good information, with great pictures to help you identify what's growing outside.
If you are unsure about a plant, get a digital picture and email it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or bring in a sample to the Extension Service office, at 600 Scott Street, Suite 200 and we'll help you identify it.
Look for our Facebook page, Wichita County Master Gardeners, and "like" us.

I was mighty blue
Thought my life was through
'Til the heavens opened
And I gazed at you
Won't you tell me, dear
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me And the strangest feeling goes through me?
You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
Find more lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com
You have the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do

Marmitton, thanks for your answer about the League rankings. I understand your point, but the Bundesliga is so much better than the Portuguese League, even the Ligue 1. As you said, it's a competitive league, but the quality is also great (I actually feel the Ligue 1 is underated), far better than here in Portugal.
Thanks mate!

Chef-owner Rocco Carulli brings R House, a lounge-gallery-restaurant, to Wynwood
R House is a chef-driven neighborhood spot that takes art and food seriously
R House
2727 NW 2 Ave, Miami
The who: Chef-owner Rocco Carulli, formerly at Wish, brings new energy to Wynwood with this lounge-gallery-restaurant.
The space: Doubling as The White Porch Gallery, R House is a sprawling warehouse-like space with loads of art on the walls. The 168-seat dining area has high-top tables by the bar, caramel-colored banquettes along the walls, polished concrete floors, exposed duct work and moveable steel-frame panels.
Outdoors: There's an inviting patio with couches and additional seating. The chef plans to host barbecue brunches in the backyard.
The dishes: Eclectic American with Brazilian, Asian and Italian influences. Mains can be ordered in half-portions, keeping prices moderate. Starters are $9-$12, half-mains average $15 and full mains are $18-$25.
Dinner starts with house-made foccacia served with olive oil. From there, it's onto small plates of tuna tartar with crisp wontons or duck confit spring rolls with ginger-orange-plum sauce. Mains include short ribs braised with coffee and chili powder and Brazilian moqueqa stew stocked with cobia, shrimp and scallops in a coconut broth.
Desserts include a sophisticated take on tres leches and a Banana Betty blending rum custard, baked bananas and a gingersnap crumble.
The bottom line: R House is a chef-driven neighborhood spot that takes art and food seriously.

|Peterson Introduces New LumenX S/T/T Light With Integrated Back-Up Lamp
|Thursday, 20 March 2014 10:25
GRANDVIEW, Mo. — Peterson Manufacturing has expanded their LumenX® LED line with a revolutionary S/T/T light featuring an integrated back-up lamp. Dubbed a "cyclops style" by Peterson design engineers, the new model embeds a small white lens within the main red LumenX lens, allowing one of the seven diodes to provide DOT-legal back-up functionality –– a true 2-in-1 lighting concept.
All LumenX Series lights from reds to ambers to back-ups feature the latest white-diode LEDs and breakthrough optics engineered to fully illuminate the entire lens –– no "hot spots" or "dead zones" regardless of viewing angle.
Project engineer, John Hansen, credits the cutting-edge LumenX design for making the new 2-in-1 footprint achievable.
"The idea of integrating a white back-up light into a red lamp was a feasible extension of the LumenX architecture," he said. "Of course, turning innovative concepts into brand-worthy Peterson products takes high expertise every step of the way."
"We have the right team and all the right tools to design, engineer, test, tool and manufacture new products here at our 44-acre corporate campus in Grandview," said Meagher. "Constant collaboration allows us to bring new products like the LumenX line to market quickly. And with our automated manufacturing technology, we can build 'Proudly Made in USA' quality at very attractive prices."
"They're yet another of our Solutions on the Move," Meagher said.

GPC president touts college's successes
Dr. Tricoli is a true leader. I have known him for about five years, and have seen great programs instituted by him. He has a vision for the future, has the ideas, philosophies, and knowledge to make things happen in a positive way. I truly believe that he cares for the GPC students, staff, and faculty. He is recognized as a national leader in higher education. I am delighted to see that the Newton campus is growing, and that the students are meeting TAG requirements. I am also very proud, and happy that GPC is taking care of active duty personnel, and veterans of the United States military. I am very pleased that our youth are continuing their education. I hope Dr. Tricoli will be around for a long time to see his visions through. My hat is also off to the fine students at the Newton, and the other four campuses. Keep up the great work Dr. Tricoli, and to the faculty, and staff.

The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher, America entrusts her most precious resource, her children; and asks that they be prepared ... to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic societyShirley Mount Hufstedler
One of the things that is wrong with America is that everybody who has done anything at all in his own field is expected to be an authority on every subject under the sun.Elmer Davis
It's also natural in that part of the world to blame what people view as the... as the most important authority in the region, and that currently is the United States of America.John Abizaid
I believe I'm a better authority than anybody else in America on my own wife. I have never known a person with a stronger sense of right and wrong in my life ever.William J. Clinton
Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of Sacralizing person and community.Ivan Illich
The truth is the Republican leadership has created a credit card Congress that is recklessly selling out the future of America, our children and our grandchildren, and President Bush is the most fiscally irresponsible President in the history of America.Dennis Cardoza
America has been discovered before, but it has always been hushed up.Oscar Wilde
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our national past and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our future.John F. Kennedy
Without enough wilderness America will change. Democracy, with its myriad personalities and increasing sophistication, must be fibred and vitalized by the regular contact with outdoor growths -- animals, trees, sun warmth, and free skies -- or it will dwindle and pale.Ralph Waldo Emerson†
America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense... human rights invented America.Jimmy Carter
Terrorism has replaced Communism as the rationale for the militarization of the country [America], for military adventures abroad, and for the suppression of civil liberties at home. It serves the same purpose, serving to create hysteria.HOWARD ZINN
The big threat to America is the way we react to terrorism by throwing away what everybody values about our country--a commitment to human rights. America is a great nation because we are a good nation. When we stop being a good nation, we stop being great.BOBBY KENNEDY
This is not a battle between the United States of America and terrorism, but between the free and democratic world and terrorism.Tony Blair
The wonderful scope and variety of female loveliness, if too long suffered to sway us without decision, shall finally confound all power of selection. The confirmed bachelor is, in America, at least, quite as often the victim of a too profound appreciation of the infinite charmingness of woman, as made solitary for life by the legitimate empire of a cold and tasteless temperament.Herman Melville
America has the greatest reputation in the world for helping others whenever and wherever disaster strikes. Now, more than ever,it's important for us to contribute to those who are in need. Your assistance is really beneficial and will be greatly welcomed and appreciatedBob Knight
Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.Margaret Thatcher
In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.Barack Obama
The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher, America entrusts her most precious resource, her children; and asks that they be prepared... to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic society.Unknown
America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.Barack Obama
America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.Sigmund Freud
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.Herbert Hoover
Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel. We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt.Woodrow Wilson

Mobile payments took a large leap forward in the last 12 months, but there's still a lot this industry can strive to accomplish.
Tiago Soromenho, founder of Mozido's StickyStreet mobile loyalty solution, gives his view on why this is still a longstanding issue.
Three merchants discuss why they began accepting virtual currencies for payment – and how accepting bitcoin has changed their business.
Mark Ranta from ACI Worldwide believes payment apps need to focus on the experience and create new experiences that are meaningfully better than the ones we have today.
An array of virtual currencies are making their presence known.
Rob Stringer, the vice president of marketing and product development for Cortex MCP, gives us another glimpse into why the coffee giant does loyalty right.
The company's new service relies on the same security standards mobile network operators use to identify their customers.
John Hibel, director of marketing at Contact Solutions Inc., lays out the issues merchants face as consumers shop more on their smart devices.
Consumers now more than ever are using their smartphones and tablets to shop on Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The company is partnering with direct carrier biller Bango to enable consumers to buy physical items and charge them to their monthly mobile bill.
It's time for a look back at the most-read articles on Mobile Payments Today in November, and what we can learn from them.
Mehul Nayak, from Softweb Solutions, writes about what the future may hold for the Apple Watch, Google Glass and similar devices.
The mobile payments system diminishes the ability to track shopper behavior. This is among the reasons why some major retailers are not accepting it, writes the President and CEO of LoyaltyOne Inc. Bryan Pearson.
The rise of mobile has huge implications for how we manage our money. For banks to remain competitive, it's essential for them to adopt a mobile-first strategy centered on the consumer experience, writes Monitise SVP of Sales & Operations Fırat İşbecer.
Presentation examines the checkout process, speed, security concerns and more.
The London-based firm is also establishing an office in Denver as it seeks to take advantage of the growing mobile financial services market in the states.
The technology should have maximum utility for consumers, such as ordering and loyalty; payment alone isn't enough.
As the lead sponsor for the St. Petersburg Bowl, the processor wants the area's merchants to be able to accept the cryptocurrency at their stores.

Next Uncharted Game Outed By Australian Classification Board
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on November 7, 2012 AT 02:51am
Posted on November 7, 2012 AT 02:51am
The Australian Classification Board has revealed the name of the next Uncharted title before any kind of official announcement has been made by Sony.
The game will be called Uncharted: Fight for Fortune and has been rated G (General Audience). Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is being published by Sony and is in development at One Loop Games, according to the listing. Considering that the game isn't in development at Naughty Dog it's unlikely that this is not the next major entry in the series and is likely a spin-off.
One Loop Games has previously worked on mobile titles for God of War and Ratchet and Clank so expect this new Uncharted title to either be on handheld or mobile devices.

I was on my way to school and upon coming to a blocked off road I put on my seat belt so not to run into any trouble. Upon driving approximately 1/4 mile down the road I was stopped by an officer who told me he was giving me a ticket for not wearing my seat belt, which I was at the time. I hadn't taken it off when he pulled me over either. I promptly showed him I was wearing my seat belt and he said "well you weren't wearing it when I saw you." Can I legally receive a ticket if the officer says I wasn't wearing a seat belt but then admits while speaking to me that I do in fact have one on? (N.J.S.A. 39:3-76.2f)
Yes. The statute does not require that your seatbelt remain off until you are stopped by an officer, only that you were in operating the vehicle without the belt on. It does not matter how long you had it off or if you subsequently put the belt on.
You received multiple traffic tickets. If you wish to contest these tickets you will be required to appear in Municipal Court. It would behoove you to schedule a consultation in person with an attorney to discuss this legal matter further and in a more confidential setting before you are scheduled to appear in Court.
If you choose not to retain counsel, be careful of what you say to the prosecutor as what you say can and will be used against you. Good luck.
Who knows what the cop saw. He will be believed. These are all 0 point tickets. Try to get the prosecutor to drop 1 or 2 and just pay on one.
Based on the info you provided, you are in violation of operating a vehicle without a seat belt, obstruction of your view (air freshener), and possibly not producing insurance documentation upon request. Your best bet is to try to negotiate an agreement with the prosecutor to drop 1-2 of the tickets in exchange for pleading guilty to 1. Unfortunately, many prosecutors wont plead it down if you dont have an attorney.
Alternatively, hire an attorney to review the discovery/paperwork and advocate on your behalf. Depending what is documented, you may be able to get some of the tickets dismissed. Many attorneys, such as myself, offer free 30 minute consultations. Good luck.
The ticket you received is absolutely legal, it is a moving violation that causes an insurance increase, and in court it will be your word against the officer. Who do you think they will believe? This is why you need to retain counsel to protect your interests. If you want a referral on a great NJ traffic court lawyer give us a call 1-877-996-6849.
All of the answers are correct. The easiest one to convert is the one concerning insurance, which can be amended to a simple offense of failure to produce a card. Make sure to have your current insurance card available if you go it alone and meet with the prosecutor.
