Author David McRaney has some bad news for those of us who think we're pretty together, cognitively speaking: We probably spend a lot of time confirming our own biases by reading copacetic newspapers and websites. We think we're skeptical, but we're prone to believe horoscope-style niceties about ourselves. And even though we think we're good, moral beings, we're just as likely to do bad things as the next guy.
Mr. McRaney's new book, You Are Not So Smart is a romp through some of the major findings in the field of psychology aimed at pointing out the self-delusions most of us harbour but aren't humble enough to notice.
The journalist and social media director, who has been blogging for two years on the topic, writes that even when we think we're engaging in deep introspection, we "miss many influences, accumulating on your persona, like barnacles on the side of a ship."
He talked about some of those pernicious barnacles from his home in South Mississippi.
What's the granddaddy of self-delusions?
Confirmation bias holds everything together. Thinking your opinions are the result of objective analysis, when they're not. It flavours our unbreakable belief that our behaviour follows from attitude, when actually our attitudes follow from our behaviours. We like to make up stories. But we're unreliable narrators.
How's that related to what you call "consistency bias"?
We don't like to feel like we are inconsistent. We tend to think we've always had the same attitudes and beliefs about the world. People tend to say they've always felt X, X being what they feel in that moment.
When you go back and look there always seems to be some discrepancy. Researchers have done this with relationships. They ask people in the middle of a break-up, 'How do you feel about each other?' Then a year later they ask them again and if they've reconciled, they've always loved each other. If they've now decided to part ways and they don't like each other any more, they say, 'Yeah, I could really tell back then that she wasn't for me or he wasn't for me.'
Like when someone says they know on their wedding day that they shouldn't have married the person.
We redact and edit our past so we can be consistent.
The why is where it gets messy and complicated but there's probably something to do with cognitive dissonance and perception and the need to keep a high, beautiful self-esteem going.
A number of the delusions you explore explain people as consumers. You say brand loyalty, for example, is more about reinforcing a choice you've already made than actually loving the product. We love to bemoan evil corporations, but we're complicit.
That's really where the rubber meets the road in a lot of this stuff. Whenever you think about psychology, you have to remember that it's a really young science. But that doesn't mean people haven't been doing this kind of research for a long time when it comes to selling things. For instance, the fewer items you put out on display, the less chance the consumer is going to feel buyer's remorse. And Apple is the greatest genius at this because they offer good, better, best and that's it. The reason is you sit there thinking, did I just spend all that money on a computer? You think, I only had three options and I picked the best one. Instead of looking for a camera and you go on Amazon and there are 10,000 choices. You might think, I don't know if I got the right one.
Then there's the "anchoring effect." What's that?
One way it's used everyday is in restaurants, especially high-end restaurants: You look over the menu and everything's about the same price, then there's this one meal that's $45 or $55 and you're like, 'That's crazy, I'm not spending that.' The only reason that's on the menu is as a decoy to make you see the other prices as reasonable. Because they've set the anchor price.
Even telling you this or me writing about it doesn't mean that I have any power against it.
So do you play spot-the-anchor at restaurants with friends or tells dinner party debaters how they're deluded?
It's like natural selection. I've learned things that will give me social capital and the things that will make people say... shut up. I do it all the time. But it's on social media where I have to keep myself in check because people will say, 'This is the first time in 600 years it's 11/11/11' and I'm like '...based on an arbitrary...' wait, why am I doing this? I'm just going to make somebody hate me.
So, events like that aren't as special as we think? We love one-in-a-million coincidences.
My favourite way to look at it is something called the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy – honestly, because it has an awesome name. It comes from the idea of a cowboy shooting at the side of a barn, over and over again. It fills up with bullets. Then, he walks over to the barn and paints a bull's-eye over where the bullet holes clustered. So he can look like he's a crack shot.
Now, that's a great metaphor and one of my favourite mental stumbling blocks because it's so easy to describe. You can say this is also why people say things like deaths always come in threes. Which is crazy because there have been billions of deaths up until now and someone's dying every couple of seconds, so obviously death is a continuous process but we tend to draw a bull's eye around a meaningful number and three tends to be a meaningful number in our culture.
We're desperate for patterns?
The brain is a pattern-recognition machine. That's how we escaped nature and built civilization. We recognize signal and separate it from noise. When you're in the middle of a party and everyone's talking you can listen to one voice. We sort chaos into order at all times and we're keen on trying to find order in any pattern. You can't just look at a cloud and say, 'What an interesting lump of air molecules' you have to say, that looks a lot like a bear. Or, especially a face. We have face-recognition software built in.
We're built to recognize when things line up and it's difficult for us just to say it's coincidence because since we also love to create narratives about things, we like to apply stories to when coincidences line up.
In the Second World War when the Germans were bombing England, there were places – it was random – that the bombs didn't hit. If you took out a map and put push pins where the bombs landed, they naturally clustered in some areas and not in others. People began to think, 'Maybe we have spies living among us and they obviously live in the places where the bombs aren't falling.' Something that's good for us and has helped us for millennia can make us turn around and see patterns where there aren't any.
Not that this is a self-help book, but what would be the most useful place to start to shift their thinking?
Procrastination: I don't think I've written anything with more hits and sharing because we all experience it. Steve Jobs was a procrastinator. Albert Einstein. You cannot stop wanting to procrastinate.
What I outline in the book is that it's not laziness that's doing this, it's "present bias." You believe that the person you are now is going to be the person you are later.
You think that the person who makes all the plans and sees things clearly and knows what to do now is the person who is going to face these decisions when you get to that point. In study after study, if you ask someone which is better, the cupcake or the salad, they say the salad. And then you ask them, in an hour, if I give you that choice which one are you going to pick? You say the salad. Then, when you sit them down, people are more likely to pick the cupcake.
You write that people can look at their Netflix queue for an example of this.
I put my own list of saved movies on my blog: Those are great movies and documentaries that I should watch and that will make me a better person. And then in the moment I'm going to watch, yeah, I'm going to watch Family Guy.
The person picking the movies is not the person facing the choice of what to watch.
They did a study with a bank of movies, many of them labelled lowbrow (which I wouldn't do because I love so much lowbrow stuff) like The Mask or Speed. It also had things like The Piano and Schindler's List (movies that were current at the time). They gave people the option to pick three movies to watch over the course of a few days. Most people did pick Schindler's List, but they chose to watch it third. When they were told they had to watch them back-to-back, people didn't pick Schindler's List at all. They'd just pick three fun movies.
You have to fight the desire for instant gratification. You're always going to do it even if you know you do it. I wrote about Walter Mischel's famous marshmallow test, which asked kids to hold off eating a marshmallow placed in front of them. Children who were able to delay gratification ended up being the people who were more successful in life, in the way we consider people successful. They had better marriages, higher-paying jobs and more education. The correlation suggests that being good at delaying gratification means that you're good at thinking about thinking.
The kids who succeeded weren't the ones with the most willpower. They were the ones who didn't even look at the marshmallow. Kids who failed the test were the ones who thought they were more in control then they really were. They'd stare at it. Smell it. They'd say, ok, I'll just lick it and put it down. The kids who succeeded would bang their head on the table, slap their face, turn around and around in their chair. They knew they couldn't' trust themselves so they came up with strategies to outwit themselves. That's how you get around procrastination. You cannot face it head on, it's impossible. You can't stare at the marshmallow. You have to outsmart the future you.
So, have you figured out a way not to stare at the marshmallow?
I actually wrote about procrastination as a response to having to write the book. That's what was going on in my life. We were in the early process of getting a book deal and I knew I had a lot of work ahead of me, keeping interesting blog posts going up and sitting down every night making sure I had a book coming out. While I'm keeping a job.
I know I can work for about two hours before I want to punch the screen and run through the fields. They make computer programs to do this for you but I've been able to get away with some self control – I make sure I don't do any social media for two hours. And I don't do any non-on-topic browsing for those two hours. Then I sit down and write in two-hour bursts.
And there's an old trick given to me by my first psychology professor, the Premack principle – you always reward yourself after doing something you didn't want to do. I get to play video games or go on social media for 30 minutes. Then I start over again. It's an ongoing struggle. It will never stop. You'll be 85 and saying 'I don't wanna take the pills...'
There are also a few life-and-death brain delusions that people might want to know. You write about something called the normalcy bias, which can make people not rush to save their own lives – you mention cases of 9/11 World Trade Center workers who shut down their computers, put on their coats and slowly made their way to the exit instead of running.
You hear about people who just stand around and die when a ship sinks or a building is on fire. There's a window to survive and a lot of people don't; they just sit there.
When if comes to something scary, or dangerous, or life-threatening, the first thing we want to believe is that things are not dangerous or scary. We really try to convince ourselves that everything is okay. We go through a predicable series of reactions. You hear an explosion in your building – you don't immediately jump up and go, 'Get the hell out of here!' No one does that unless they've been trained, which is why it's important to take the drill seriously. They teach you to get past your normalcy bias.
Otherwise, you just look around and try to gather information from the people around you. If you're still alarmed, then you'll try to contact friends and family. Evolutionarily speaking that makes sense, you're going to try and make sure the people you love and share genes with are ok. And see if they know anything.
Eventually, maybe, if enough things alert you to how bad the situation is, you act. The problem is in some situations, like an air disaster or floods, you don't have enough time for that.
You write that those 9/11 victims were "begging for the world to return to normal be engaging in acts of normalcy."
I know that's true. The eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over us. I had my whole family in my house. Some had come up from the Mississippi Gulf coast, some down from up north – I'm sure they wish they hadn't. So the eye passed over us. We were without power for 10 days. When the power went out I was making a grilled cheese sandwich. We watched a movie the night before. We were doing normal stuff because we wanted normal stuff to be possible.
Then, there's the bystander effect, which we may have seen in the recent case of the Chinese toddler who died after being hit by vehicles and ignored by passersby.
It's a natural tendency. There's a lab experiment in which a student is writing a test and someone yells "Help!" in the next room. If the student is surrounded by actors told not to respond, the student doesn't, for minutes. If he's alone, it only takes 5 or 6 seconds.
You end the book with a doozy, something called the "fundamental attribution error." We keep making the mistake of thinking people who do bad things are crazy or evil without looking at their environment.
There's the superstar 1971 study by Philip Zimbardo (in which students were put into a prison setting as guard and prisoners and turned on each other). Forty years later you have Abu Ghraib. If you give people power and don't watch them, they do bad things with it.

This is definitely where THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN jumped the shark. The "Bionic Boy" was a paraplegic who received bionic legs.
Or how about this ones where he fights the "Seven Million Dollar Man" and George Foreman (I bet you they took out all the fat from that episode).

As a spa and beauty industry professional, you'll need to be up on all the hot trends for the Fall season. See what this year's beauty professionals need to know to keep their clients trendy, stylish, and happy.
Makeup Artists
This Fall, we'll see lots of colored liners. Eyeshadows in shades of blue will be most popular. Think you won't look good in blue? Think again. Match the shade of blue to the shade of your eye color, using paler shades for light eyes and navies for darker eyes.
Dark, vampy lips are very stylish this Fall too. Lips will be dramatic so dark browns are popular, as well as deep berry colors. The dark lips are especially good when a neutral and natural look has been created — this gives a more dramatic effect to the look.
Nail Technicians
Also extreme in the beauty industry will be nail colors. Dark grey (a rather neutral shade) and even black are going to be hot this Fall. If you're not really into the whole black idea, then deep burgundies and rich reds are for you. See more about the nail trends here.
Wardrobe Stylists
To get the most stylish look this Fall, try various shades of purple — it is THE Fall color. From tops to skinny jeans to booties to clutches, purples are a great way to make your outfit pop. But don't wear all of these items together in purple, for you don't want to be too matchy-matchy. Accessorizing is key!
Hair Stylists
We've seen it before and we saw it at the Emmys on the likes of Marcia Cross, Heidi Klum, and Sandra Oh. It's the bun — both tight and loose. This style will keep hair off the face, but will flow in a way to soften the look of a completely pulled-back hairstyle.
Glowing skin is not just for summertime. Be sure your clients use the right products to exfoliate, moisturize, and for foundation. These methods will leave skin looking healthy and fresh. Additionally, moisturizers with an SPF are so important, even after you're not basking in the sun's rays. Encourage clients to use products that have some sort of protection to keep their skin up-to-par.
You want to get it right for your clients this Fall and it's all about dark shades and being extreme. So take some risks, work your magic, and if you haven't already, get started on your beauty career!

Yesterday, I made this invented 3 bean warm vegan salad with chickpeas & cumin. My husband Peter & I loved it so much! The flavours are just right in this stunning 3 bean salad. This is a very healthy & appetizing colourful salad as well & vegan too! Are you interested already? Check the recipe out! I know you will love it as much as we did! 😉
Read on How I made it!
Recipe: For 5 persons, a big part
** The 3 beans:
150 gr of shelled fava beans ( broad beans ) ( called in Dutch: tuinbonen! ) ( with the bean shells it was 400 gr ), cooked in salted water, rinsed under cold water, drained & set aside. The cooked outer shell of the large fava beans removed!!! Why? Because this skin is tougher to chew & than you end up with the bright green fava beans! I only had a few large ones!
380 gr can of cooked soy beans ( edamame )
300 gr of fine green beans, tops & ends removed, cooked in salted water, rinsed under cold water & drained
** The rest of the ingredients:
1 organic lemon, zested & juiced
1 can of chickpeas, rinsed under cold water & drained well
3 fat cloves of garlic, peeled & finely cut
1 long red chili pepper, seeds removed & cut into finer rings
20 pitted black olives of a good quality, cut into finer rings
1/2 red bell pepper, seeds & white bits removed, cut into smaller pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, seeds & white bits removed, cut into smaller pieces
a fruity Extra Virgin Olive Oil
black pepper, finely grinned
Maldon sea salt flakes
3 teaspoons of cumin powder
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, roasted in a pan with nothing in it, on medium heat until roasted & fragrant! Shake your pan from time to time. This will only take a few minutes. Do not let them burn! Your house will smell amazing. then, place it in a pestle & mortar & grind finely!!
** To serve:
a handful of fresh cilantro leaves ( coriander leaves ), finely cut up
a handful of fresh mint leaves, finely cut up
A French baguette, cut into larger chunks & some vegan butter or some good Gluten -free bread!
1. Take a large non-stick pan & heat up on high. Pour 2 tablespoons of that fruity olive oil in it. When hot & sizzling, add the cut up garlic & chili pepper. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes & then add 1 teaspoon of cumin powder & the cut up bell pepper pieces. Add the grinned cumin to the pan & stir often. Lower your heat if you need to. Add some black pepper & some sea salt but not too much. Taste often! When your bell pepper pieces are ready & cooked through, add soy beans, cooked fava beans & green young cooked beans. Now, add 2 teaspoons of cumin & stir carefully! Heat up your beans. Add the chickpeas, the grated lemon zest & the black olive rings. Stir & taste! Add some olive oil extra, if you need to! When your dish is seasoned well, add the lemon juice & stir everything round in the pan with a spoon. Do a final taste! It has to be waw! in your mouth! The lemon juice just lift the flavours of the cumin in your mouth! Heat through until warm. Just before serving, add the cut up mint leaves & the cut up coriander leaves.
2. Plate up instantly & enjoy with some crusty French baguette on the side with some vegan butter! Enjoy with a loved one!
Note: This dish was even better eaten cold the next day, with some cooked brown rice or a potato salad! Or eaten cold with some grilled fish on the side!! Yummmmmm! I could eat it cold, straight from the fridge! 😉

ooh yes, duckie! 🙂
What a gorgeous and colourful salad. I love how you have added olives to this salad. I think the olives and the broad beans would be delicious together xx
They truly are, charlie! 🙂
un méli mélo de bonnes choses !
Merci, cherie!
I'm crazy about the beans you've chosen for your salad, Sophie. It's such an improvement on my Mother's ancient bean salad recipe. The vinaigrette is wonderful!
It isn't really a vinegraitte but a mix of spices & lemon, etc! I am happy that you enjoy it, Barbara! 😉
the more beans, the better, i say! and i love the cilantro in this!
Me too, me too, dear Grace! Thank you!
Sophie, I love that you have all this ingredients mixed…love the color and the flavor of this warm salad…so healthy!
Thanks for the recipe and hope you are enjoying your week 🙂
MMMM,..all the way! You also have a great & tasty week, Juliana! 🙂
Happy Thursday!
Happy Friday & good weekend to you, Miranda! 🙂
Sophie – this is a very pretty dish! I can't do peppers too much or chickpeas, but great northern beans would be lovely here, mushrooms too!
Thanks, Ina! 🙂 Mushrooms will be equally tasty, I think so too! 🙂
I make a similar salad to this Sophie although yours is much fancier and I think much nicer! It is so versatile and goes with so many things! 🙂
It is, It is, Lorraine!
Beans and peas..what's not to love!
there aren't any peas in my salad, just a lot of different beans! 😉
Your salad looks delicious sophie. I can't wait for our beans to grow, it's taking such a long time this year.
looks so good planning to make more bean salads so good for summer
This looks delicious and so healthy – I know I would love it!
i love beany salads! so gorgeous and well balanced!
I love this! You have flavour, texture and spice plus I'm a huge fan of fava beans. Really looks delicious!

Remember all the great classic Marvel covers from the late 1960s / early 1970s? Some of them may not have been designed by the cover artist, but instead by Marie Severin! Here is one such example, from Sub-Mariner #33, published in late 1971 / early 72.
Marie's cover preliminary shows the basic design. The notes on the right suggest the premise: Subby returns to Atlantis to find it in ruins...Krang and gang accuse him of being absent while they needed him.
Sal Buscema's original art cover, to this issue, which recently sold for over $8K on Heritage Comics auction site.
The final color cover as it was originally published. You can see that Marie's template was pretty much executed as designed, with certain elements really made stronger by Buscema: Namor's guilt and pensive pose, Krang's righteous and accusatory stance, the wounded Atlantean nursing a dislocated shoulder!
The modern comics companies don't produce covers like this anymore, which give you a disturbing idea about the hero and make you buy it to see how it happened. If you want to see some other nifty examples of Marie Severin's Marvel cover designs, see this Newsarama blog post by Graeme McMillan. Nuff Said!

Advice needed on M or non M and front bushes
Ok, I'm sorry to ask such a very obvious question, but I really like my 97 2.8 Auto (It had to be auto for the wife to drive), but not being a BMW aficionado and the only BMW owned, I'm having a little difficulty in working out how you tell simply and easily if my car is an M or non M, etc.
From what I've read I'm guessing mine isn't an M, but could someone just give me some really obvious pointers on how you clearly define this?
The reason for the need to get it right, is because I'm changing over my front and rear bushes to Powerflex and I had considered opting for the eccentric ones on the front rear wishbones, to give a bit more caster, but I'm not sure if I can do this as a simple swap out and whether it will cause grief with the shock mount and tyre position.
If someone knows and can give me a definitive answer/reason to not do this, then I'll stick with the standard replacement Powerflex bushes, as I gather there is definitely a difference between the M and non M shock mounting/caster angle set up, that may not allow me to do (nor possibly should I) a simple swap out in anything other than the standard center bushes.
Any thoughts/knowledge here would be greatly appreciated??... thanks
Advice needed on M or non M and front bushes
Post a picture of your car and we can tell you.
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
If it's a 2.8 it's not an M.
There are some non-Ms that have what is called a M-sports suspension. That is not the same that the real Ms have. You can enter the last 7 digits of your VIN number in for example http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html and get a full list of all thing yor car was delivered with.
As for the bushes someone else have to fill in.
Thanks, IgotBMW & Kornknarr
Here's the shot and no... that's not me(;->
Does the pic help and if so what's the opinion on whether to go or not go eccentric bushes at the front for my model, ie, do they just go on and you do nothing else other than an alignment, or is there/will there be a problem with the existing shock set-up and wheel position.
If there are any hassles, strain or extra parts needed here at all, then I'm more than happy to stay original. It's just that from other reading, I gather a bit of extra caster may also help improve the steering at high speed.

The usual answer is that, if you have to ask, you don't have an "M".
There are trade-offs for using rubber versus polyurethane bushings. You should look over this thread: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=495852
Many people stick with rubber Front Control Arm Bushing (FCAB) but switch to solid rubber ones for a balance of performance and harshness. Polyurethane FCABs can cause squeeks, harshness, and increased road noise. It's also very common to replace the front control arms with new ones with new ball joints and solid rubber M3 bushings. Meyle HD offers control arms that are superior to original.
You mention that you also want to use polyurethane in the rear, but it's not clear where. Without a doubt, rear subframe bushings (RSBs) should be replaced with polyurethane ones to stabilize the entire subframe to the car. This improves handling and helps prevent the complete failure of the differential mount to the trunk floor, which is not uncommon. Since there is no motion at the subframe mounts, you don't need to worry about squeeks. In fact, I've never heard a complaint about polyurethane RSBs.
Never use anything but rubber in the differential mount. Anything else is too hard and will likely tear the sheet metal mount out of the trunk floor. You can upgrade to the solid rubber M-style bushing.
Some people replace the Rear Trailing Arm Bushings (RTABs) with polyurethane, but that nearly always causes squeeking due the motion at that pivot point. This can be very annoying. Unless you are a racer, you will be happier with rubber RTABs.
The sway bar bushings have very little movement, so you may use polyurethane there. At least they are easy to change if you don't like them. On the other hand, there is not a strong reason to choose either polyurethane or rubber there.
There is much more information posted here. Near the top of the page, on the right, is a button labeled "Search This Forum." Use that to find more details on all of these topics.

Thanks for coming back so quickly Blacklane,
Umm... The usual answer is that, if you have to ask, you don't have an "M".
Thanks, but it would have been nice to still know (as previously stated) what exactly it is that you see on or in the car that says it's an M. I was just curious as I don't live my life through my Z3, I have other pursuits as well and may not be as hip as some here. I'll take the patronizing smack down as being just playful banter, but the question still stands.
Ok, just to clear up any misunderstanding re my bushes query, yes indeed, I have not just lazily asked a question without doing some research.
I fully understand how some may be rather tired of questions by noobs who don't even google the car or the problems first.
I have in fact been trying to get as clear as possible picture on the best things to do with the bushes, by reading and re-reading quite a few things from forums and other online articles, but alas, there are only so many hours in the day and so many articles and I would never get to do the job if I didn't plunge in somewhere.
My initial query was because after getting serious toe/camber wear issues in my rear tyres and finding after a service that the subframe bushes were pretty bad, plus a rear trailing arm bush was shot, I started the whole research thing on bushes.
I've now read quite a few articles, forum comments and literature that pretty well gives Powerflex bushes a good tick and yes, I do indeed understand the potential problems and extra stiffness one may not find the same as before, but after a very long and intense love relationship many years ago with an Italian - Ducati that is, I'm up for sharper handling, compared to the slightly soggy feel I have now and the totally insane tyre wear problem.
So... in the process of finding out about Powerflex, I also (after reading many tales of woe and possible solutions - read welding the adjusters to the car), decided that if the back end was going to be a problem, then it might also be wiser to fit the adjustable bushes in the trailing arms as well, while it's in pieces.
Now, finally to the front Front Lower Wishbone Rear Bush. Again, after reading a lot of comments and articles, the consensus (to me - subjective of course) is that it does and will give you a lot better control over the tramlining and yes, I do certainly agree, I've had some new wishbones put in not long ago and they are running the solid rubber, but, I am still not impressed with the way the car wants to have it's own way sometimes on the road.
So, hence the original question as to whether I can/could/should go eccentric or straight Powerflex bush in my particular car, which is why the initial question about it being either M or non M was raised, as I had found up until now, the material just a little lacking or confusing to explain the difference. - if you take my drift.
As for your comments about the diff mount and sway bar mounts, all noted and I would tend to agree and I'm up for/open to any other wise words of wisdom, now that I've typed the (almost) complete story.
And as for the pointer to the search button, your dang right, what a clever invention it is, who would have thought (;->

The "M" version (Motorsport) is distinguished from the non-"M" by higher price, more horsepower, better suspension, different gills on sides, engine that says "M Power" on the valve cover, "M" badge on door sills, chrome around shifter and gauges, and other cosmetic changes. In the US, the rear license plate is moved, but I don't know if that's true in Europe. Since M cars are rarer and more expensive, people who own them don't have to ask if theirs is an "M".
If your rear tires are wearing too fast, it is probably the result of too much toe-out. The usual cause of that is a broken spring or lowered suspension. The rear suspension is designed such that, in a turn, as the outside tire is forced upward, its camber is increased and its toe is pointed outward, which helps prevent understeer. If the car is lowered or if a spring is broken, the same geometry happens constantly, which causes excessive tire wear.
Tramlining is usually caused by the rear suspension, not the front.
My recommendation for you is:
Polyurethane Rear Subframe bushings
Weld-in rear camber and toe adjusters from Ireland Engineering
New springs as needed
Rubber trailing arm bushings
Meyle HD front control arms
Solid M3 front control arm bushings
Whatever sway bar links and bushings you would like
Thanks Blacklane,
Well first up, I bought the car 2nd hand, so no idea of it's 'true' original value, the engine data says 142kw, so I'm guessing it's going pear shaped from here for it to be an M.
Don't know about the gills being different, because as said originally, didn't know the difference between the M and non M in the first place, and, as I had a look under the bonnet and didn't see any 'Golden Arches' anywhere, and because no one has as yet tried any funny secret handshakes out on me, then putting all the data together from your info as well... it looks like i'm not in the M club (;-(
But then again, like riding a bike, it's not always the machine under you when you hit the corner, it's the capability of the rider/driver that sorts the men from the boys and as much as I would have probably love to have been supersized, this little beast will just have to do.
Soooo, back to the original question, in that as much as you make a very good point about the rear being the problem, I get a slightly different impression in that it has an add-on effect that has its roots in the front wishbone bushes, so I'm very keen to try the Mike Fishwick's path from his article 'BMW Z3 Subtly Stiffening a Z3' and I quote... ...an economic first step in the battle against tramlining is the fitting of stiffer wishbone bushes..., where he has used the Powerflex bushes (as have others) to great effect.
I certainly agree with you about the stiffer rubber and Mike himself says the later cars used this to do a better job than the Z3, but the Powerflex just nails the problem, so I wanted to not only do this on mine, but I have also read that a little bit of caster won't hurt either and thus the original post to see how others felt/knew about doing this (the caster thing) with whatever my version Z3 was, as there seemed to be some complication with the eccentric bushes if used with a particular shock mounting setup???
Completely agree about the rear tyre wear and why. Again, I've read heaps of information that nails that problem and why. I'm guessing that swapping in the Powerflex bushes into the subframe will go an awful long way to helping fix the problem, which it seems and awful lot of Z3 owners have in varying degrees, whether it's because of bushes or springs, or just a problem with their particular car (some have swapped and fixed everything to still find the rear toe is still out of spec).
So to help nail this problem and hopefully dramatically reduce tyre wear, I am reasonably keen to try as well some adjustable bushes on the back. I do know and have read quite lot of information about the weld-in plates and I'm not that keen to take that path yet. I've also read some fairly nasty stories of some of these plates having their bolts come loose on road and track (no such thing as a free lunch) and it means you have to make sure these suckers are checked fairly regularly and lock the nuts down really well either by double nuts or nord lock washers, etc. Something I don't really want to rush into yet.
My last service which was only a few week ago, my mechanic with 8 years experience in nothing but bimmers, gave the car a very thorough once over and only found one rear shock starting to leak, no other breaks or problem, and I do not think the car has been lowered, but will check this as you've raised it (no pun intended).
As for sway bars and other parts suggestions, etc, that will have to wait for the moment until I sort out the toe/camber alignment of all wheels, but the front so far is looking good, it's just the insane tyre wear on my rear inners due to the toe out problem (with the wrong camber as well).
Hope that sort of answers your points and any further suggestions will be happily mulled over and taken on board (;->

Re: function definition

That's not really useful at all. One can accomplish exactly the
same thing with
f[x_Rational]:= and f[x_Integer]:=
So Richard's explanation doesn't explain anything. I'm inclined to
go along with the attitude mainly expressed so far on this question--
it really shouldn't work the way it does. Maybe someone should send
a bug report to Wolfram and see what they reply...

A "cute" Storm is rolling in!
Little Storm is a real cutie, Clark & Pat!
A "cute" Storm is rolling in!
Little Storm is a real cutie, Clark & Pat!
Oh my!!! What a wonderful photo!
OH MY GOSH!!! Anothe big AHHHH! moment for me this evening..So cute he is! Hope you and Storm have many fun years ahead of you in the future! LOL
Oh my …. what a cutie! Love the name … and that prance with the paw in the air! Welcome Storm – hope we see more of you!
This one needs to come with a storm warning!!! Now I want another puppy!! What a doll….and nice picture, too!!
oH MY, I love the face of Little Storm! His sweet little paw in the air as he is walking makes him even more adorable. Enjoy this wonderful puppy and send us more photos as he grows.
Oh yes, come to me! I will catch you and snuggle you. Great photo! Now that's the kind of "storm" I can handle any time of day or night. I get my own Sheltie fix from my sweet Cookie but then after reading the sad, bad news on the computer or newspaper, coming here to this site washes all that away. Thanks to all!
I'd puppy sit him any day!! So adorable…
This just made my day,…Little Storm you rock!
I just got hit by a huge Cute Wave. I was hoping for a sweet Friday Fuzzy, and Storm is just adorable. I can almost smell puppy breath too!
How beautiful!
The cuteness almost kills me. I miss the fuzzy puppy stage.
Sheltie Nation makes my day every day and as usual today, they did not disappoint! Storm is stunning. This little cutie is so far off the cute chart that a new one needs to be created just for this adorable face, I can almost smell the puppy breath from here. Thanks Clark and Pat for sharing.
Here comes a little twister! :)

Quotes of the week
International weeks normally mean a quiet QOTW but thankfully Mr Capello has been in fine form.
By Alex Dunn - Follow me on Twitter @skysportsaldunn
Last Updated: 30/03/11 11:30am
Whisper it quietly but international weeks tend to be a trifle dull, with salacious soundbites usually reserved for Premier League dressing rooms bitchier than a Crufts show ring. All hail Mr Capello then for a week in which he's been upsetting all and sundry with the gay abandon we've secretly grown to admire at QOTW towers. Elsewhere, regulars Harry Redknapp, Craig Bellamy and Jose have been chewing the fat at the bar with some eyebrow raising quotes of their own.
"How many languages do you speak? I don't have to speak about a lot of different things. Maximum 100 words." Fabio Capello defends his language skills to a room of sniping journalists. Of the 100, 96 are reported to be f*ur letter words.
"I spoke with him privately. I think not only Andy likes to drink beer. Not only Andy Carroll. He needs to improve, to drink less." Capello attempts to take away the divine right of any proud Geordie.
"Chelsea's a great club. It's a dream of every player to play at Chelsea. If one day it happens, I will be very happy to come." Brazil striker Neymar auditions for a gig at Stamford Bridge by bagging a brace against Scotland.
"I wouldn't want to sell him for £100million, not even for a billion. He's the hub of the team." Harry Redknapp in typically understated form when weighing up the value of Luka Modric.
"I'm not going to be everybody's cup of tea, but it is the decision the manager has taken." John Terry - another king of the understatement.
"The last throw of the dice." Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous is overjoyed at rehiring Martin 'Mad Dog' Allen in a bid to stave off the drop.
"It doesn't look good does it? He is a good player. The only thing I know upsets us is when people are trying to juggle between England and Ireland. That's the only issue really." Liam Lawrence, who won his first cap at 27 and was born in Nottinghamshire, questions the validity of Jermaine Pennant's Irishness.
"The Barca players were always moaning and complaining and that's something I dislike about them. In England, Chelsea players do the same." Robin van Persie moans and complains about Barcelona.
"We were asked to have our photograph taken and we removed our shirts as a tongue-in-cheek joke between friends." Leon Best explains away an impromptu photo shoot with Stephen Ireland after an ill-advised night out. Hey, we've all done it...
"Manchester City are favourites - they should be in there, shouldn't they? You look at their resources, look at the money they've been able to spend on players. They have got players worth £30-odd million who are not even starting." Be fair Harry, you've got players worth a billion.
"I can't wait, because love or loathe him Jacko is one of those iconic figures. I know some fans are grumbling about the statue but I think it is terrific. He was a very special bloke and one of a handful of people I am proud to have been on the planet at the same time as." Ian Holloway is in the front row for Fulham's unveiling of their Michael Jackson statue. You couldn't make it up.
He goes on: "I've got a model of Ali at home, back when he was Cassius Clay, in that famous pose over a prostrate Sonny Liston. It's one of my most treasured possessions and if I could get one of Jackson, I would. In fact, when we go to Fulham I'll take a little hacksaw, smuggle the statue on the team bus and take it home with me. Mind you, what if it does go missing now? They will be straight round to my house. It's not me, Mr Fayed. I won't nick it, honest!"
"I want to be frozen like Walt Disney and Michael Jackson. I don't want to be buried so I don't need a gravestone. I want to be cremated... but I'm never going to die." Kelly Sotherton. Should you tell her or should I...?
"I'm not a robot. I've been sprint champion a long time and wearing the winner's stripey jersey can become a bit of a burden. But I'll be back next year with a vengeance." Victoria Pendleton has to settle for bronze.
"I was hours away - I almost signed up for the England national team." Jose Mourinho does his best Jim 'here's what you could have won' Bowen impression. Apparently the Special One loves a bit of Bully.
"I tried to meet Rio at the Manchester United game. He was ready to meet me but he preferred not to meet us. I don't know why. It is a question for him, not me." The ever cuddly Capello makes yet another player/manager faux pas.
"I've been, with respect, a better player. I always got picked and played pretty good. So I've not been in that position where my quality of play has been poor and got to me mind-wise." Geoff Boycott, in no way a tiresome reactionary neanderthalic old bore, gives his considered opinion on Michael Yardy's decision to come home from the cricket World Cup with depression.
"I wish I'd had the chance to say he had nothing to be ashamed of, that we all understood and were right behind him." Paul Collingwood gives a more humane response.
"I've been practising better and training hard but on the match court I can't get anything going. I am p***** off. I don't want to be playing like this. I don't know exactly what it is." Andy Murray is at a loss to explain his current rubbishness.
"Before the World Cup you had certain players being lined up to be knighted. You're going into it with the best centre-half in the world, the best centre-forward in the world..." Craig Bellamy stokes the fire ahead of the biggest home nations mismatch since David Haye got in the ring with pacifist boxer Audley Harrison.
"You can have all this Welsh stuff, dragons, etcetera... which is great, it puts bums on seats. You can have as much dragon-fire talk as you want. It doesn't necessarily mean anything if you don't have the team." John Hartson has had it with dressing up as a daffodil on match days.
"The fans were booing the National Anthem and stuff like that. When you hear that you are pumped up even more. I don't want to get in to whether it's insulting, because when you play away from home you get that. But you pump your chest out even more and sing louder." Terry leads from the front in Cardiff.
"I was a bit rusty to start with, then I managed to beat a few. Then I dropped it in about my mum and dad..." Matt 'The Hustler' Jarvis lets slip to his new England team-mates that his parents were British No.1s on the table tennis circuit in their pomp.
"Can you imagine if Harrods told their customers they were closing for five weeks? Surprise, surprise, those customers would all go to Selfridges." Saracens chairman Nigel Wray hits out at the Rugby Football Union for scheduling a Super Rugby game at Twickenham on the same day as his side's home clash against Newcastle.
"The only thing I will be cutting is Groves down to size when we meet again on May 21. I'm going to take an axe to his ambitions of getting his hands on my British title." James DeGale excels in the art of trash talk.
"I've had the chance to think long and hard about it and today I've decided to stand down as captain of the Test team and the one-day team as of now."
Ricky Ponting calls time on his role as Australia captain.

2011 DGM WRX hatch - Kartboy SS
04 WRX wagon - 304whp Mods - SOLD
Yes sir, I know we have AWD, and a mustang dyno can be a AWD dyno. Not sure if you know the differences between dyno's but if I made 270awhp on a mustang dyno that would mean about 310 on a dynojet or some other jank crap dyno. I wasn't shooting for glory numbers like most people I wanted the best tune possible, and a lot of people like urself get confused I guess when I say I only made 270awhp. But I think I'm going with a forge recirculating anyways, i've had atmoshperic bov's and none of them work in the first place, just thought that one sounded pretty sweet. But compressor surge is no good so scratch that idea. LOL.
It couldn't be the stock BOV because thats not the sound it makes, and it wouldn't allow compressor surge. The only way it could be compressor surge is if its aftermarket BOV thats not allowing boost venting.
not exactly a wastegate sound however it is a compressor surge sound.
I had minor surge on my stock Evo VIII with only an exhaust and intake on it. It wasn't audible until most of the intake tract was ripped out.
heavy spring or a slow to respond setup with a stock bov is what that sound is.
that is compressor surge...the worst thing to have w a turbo...the hks is a single high pitched noise...ill have to look for a clip

hmm heres a pictoral analogy.
Your engine is the kid running. Your bov is the impreza.
Its really not a good idea unless you are tuned for it. Running for extended periods of time with the wrong A/F ratio can cause major problems.

They in fact base the claim of ANTI-Grace on those who will not let instruments be IMPOSED and will NOT stopping teaching what we believe the Bible and all recorded history teaches.
Hughes like all scholars-for-hire knows that the ANTIism sells books
This is getting to be a brain dump and apologize for rambling but does anyone feel the same way as me as far as Grace never being the focus growing up in the CoC or similar experience growing up in the CoC???
It is true that a faithful book would not pay for the printing cost.
Joke. Q. What's the difference between a liberal and a conservative preacher. A. Oh, about fifty thousand dollars a year.
It depends on the congregation, regardless of the sign out front.I grew up a Methodist. We had our weirdnesses, too. For example, my mom came home from a congregational meeting and told me one woman said that the whole congregation might go to hell because some women wear pants.One of the things that drew me to the SOFCOC from the Methodist church was that there was no choir. Based upon my experience growing up as a Methodist, I equated "no choir" to "no disputes in the congregation".It appears what you may be doing is what I did in thinking that only the outfit you know has problems. You came to believe getting weird was only practiced by the SOFCOC. I grew up thinking it was a Methodist thing and maybe a Baptist thing. Not that I ever attended a baptist church, but most folks I knew growing up were baptist and they seemed to get whacky, at times.The problem is that whoever you meet with, you are meeting with people. Getting weird, whacky and wrong is something everyone can and will do on a routine basis. It isn't a practice cornered by the folks at the local SOFCOC.So, in answer to the question of the opening thread, it seems to me, yes, some congregations do have it wrong. I don't believe mine does. It's been years since I recall a group of people meeting behind a different sign getting ripped from our pulpit. What is normally preached is the grace of God through Christ. Like the old song goes, our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. It isn't built on what we find wrong with others, so we don't spend our time looking for the faults. We preach who can forgive faults and what appears to be the right way.It seems a good thing to search the scriptures and to try to obey what they teach. There are some who climb such a lofty peak only to take a swan dive on the rocks below by believing that if they do church right, then that's why they are saved and if they don't do it right, then they aren't saved. To me, that's a different gospel.
QuoteThis is getting to be a brain dump and apologize for rambling but does anyone feel the same way as me as far as Grace never being the focus growing up in the CoC or similar experience growing up in the CoC???Maybe - but I think of it as more a reaction to protestant calvanism and experiential christianity in particular. Depending how you look at it - it could be thought of as very grace based.For instance - many evangelical christian groups in the 19th century stressed that one must have a God experience in order to confirm their christianity. This came from a calvanist teaching that only the elect have salvation ... but how did you know that you were one of the elect? Having an experience such that you know that God has saved you was their answer. Trouble was not everyone had this emotional experience that they knew was God.Campbell and others taught that the Bible didn't teach that experiential religion was the sign of a Christian - but baptism was. A person baptized in the name of Christ was all the confirmation one needed in order to know that they were among the elect (or saved). This was absolutely a message of grace for those that thought that they had to have some kind of experience in order to know that they were saved.I don't see that the church of Christ has graceless theology - but I do think it tends to be more works based. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing - it depends on what works one is teaching. I think they would agree that you can't work your way to heaven - or they would at least give lip service to that statement.

Move Clocks Ahead One Hour Saturday Night
It is time to spring forward this weekend.
People should change their clocks and move them ahead one hour before going to bed Saturday night.
Daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. Sunday.
Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said when changing that clock, take the time to change and check the battery in your home smoke alarm.
"That is going to save lives," said Hudgens. "After you change the battery, push the test button and make sure that it works."
He added that the state has seen 33 fire-related fatalities this year in Georgia.
"A lot of them are because they did not have a working smoke alarm in their house," said Hudgens.
Besides changing the smoke alarm battery, Hudgens said people should clean dust from the device to help keep it in good working order.
He said having a working smoke alarm doubles one's chances of surviving a house fire.
Hudgens also said families should review their emergency plan in case of a fire.
"If you do have a fire, know where you are going," said Hudgens. "Know where the exits are. Have two ways out of your house. Know where the family is going to assemble after the fire so everybody can be accounted for."
Also, Hudgens said it is not a bad idea to take time this weekend to change batteries in flashlights and weather radios that might be needed in an emergency.
Again, do not forget to change your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed Saturday night.

Pancakes with berries and yoghurt recipe
Cook pancakes as per buttermilk pancake r
Serving Size:
Breakfast, Easy recipes, Kids cooking, Food kids will eat, Pancakes
Special Info:
Nut free
- 1 quantity of buttermilk pancakes
- 1 punnet blueberries, washed
- vanilla yoghurt or cream or icecream, to serve
Cook pancakes as per buttermilk pancake recipe.
For each serve, place one pancake on a plate, scatter with a few berries, top with another pancake, scatter with more berries, then top with a third pancake.
Spoon a good dollop of yoghurt, cream or icecream on top and scatter with more berries. Enjoy!
- I find that two pancakes are enough for me, but the stack of three does look impressive!
- A warm chocolate sauce is also superb with this combination, particularly if you are serving with cream or icecream.
- Use a bought good quality chocolate sauce or make your own by melting 100g dark chocolate with 100mL thin cream in a saucepan over low heat.
Recipe created by Melissa Hughes for Kidspot.

PHOENIX — Ahead of its analyst and investor presentation Thursday, PetSmart announced that it is raising its third quarter guidance.
The company said it now expects earnings per share for the third quarter to range from 46 cents to 48 cents. Initial guidance called for an EPS range of 41 cents to 45 cents. For the full year, earnings per share guidance is increasing to $2.46 to $2.52 from a previous range of $2.40 to $2.48.
"Our focus is on providing our pet parents with the right solutions through our broad assortment and unmatched customer experience, all at a great value," said Bob Moran, president and CEO. "The favorable momentum in our business is the result of our differentiation, which is at the core of our brand and sets us apart from the competition."
Chip Molloy, SVP and CFO PetSmart added that comparable-store sales for the third quarter are expected to increase between 5.5% to 6%, compared with a previous range of 3 - 4%."

Fettuccine with Spinach Pesto
We added a twist to a classic pesto sauce by replacing the basil with spinach.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, March 2007
- 12 ounces fettuccine
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving (optional)
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts, plus more for serving (optional)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon grated zest plus 2 tablespoons juice from 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; immediately drain pasta, and return to pot.
While pasta is cooking, place spinach, Parmesan, nuts, garlic, and lemon zest and juice in a food processor. Process until a paste forms. With motor running, add oil and 1/4 cup cold water; process until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add to pasta; toss, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until sauce is thinned slightly and coats fettuccine (you may not need all the water). Serve, sprinkled with additional Parmesan and nuts, if desired.
