Scientists have conducted a test in an attempt to definitively confirm or deny the old myth that drinking beer before wine will prevent drinkers from developing a hangover.
Researchers aimed to discover whether the saying 'beer before wine and you'll feel fine; wine before beer and you'll feel queer' is actually true.
A drinking test
University of Cambridge and German researchers asked 90 volunteers aged between 19 and 40 to consume alcoholic drinks in order to examine the "influence of the combination and order of beer and wine consumption on hangover intensity".
The volunteers were split into the following three groups:
- Group one consumed around two-and-a-half pints of beer, followed by four large glasses of white wine
- Group two consumed the same drinks, but in reverse order
- Group three consumed either only beer or only wine
The following day, each group were quizzed about their hangover at regular intervals and were kept under medical supervision over the course of the night.
Volunteers were then given a score on a so-called 'acute hangover scale' based on a number of factors.
These included:
- Thirst
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Stomach ache
- Increased heart rate
- Loss of appetite
Volunteers were then asked to undergo the same experience the following week, with the first and second groups switching the order they consumed their drinks.
Those in the third group who only drank beer in the previous test swapped to wine this time around, and vice versa.
A correct drinking order?
The results from the study suggest that, regardless of the order in which drinks are consumed, if you have too much you will suffer a hangover the following day.
The findings were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, with author Joran Kochling, from Germany's Witten/Herdecke University, stating, "The truth is that drinking too much of any alcoholic drink is likely to result in a hangover.
"The only reliable way of predicting how miserable you'll feel the next day is by how drunk you feel and whether you are sick.
"We should all pay attention to these red flags when drinking."
Dr Kai Hensel, senior clinical fellow at Cambridge University and senior author of the study, added, "A clear result in favour of one particular order could help to reduce hangovers and help many people have a better day after a night out – though we encourage people to drink responsibly.
"Unfortunately, we found that there was no way to avoid the inevitable hangover just by favouring one order over another."

President Obama has tapped Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, to play Republican Mitt Romney in mock debate rehearsals, Obama campaign officials and the senator's office confirmed Monday.
Kerry will help Obama prepare for among the most consequential events of his reelection campaign — the three fall debates against Romney. As the senior senator from Massachusetts, Kerry has studied Romney's career and campaign style for nearly two decades and has first-hand knowledge of his record as governor.
Kerry has long been considered one of the Democratic Party's most skilled debaters, and his performances in more than 25 debates in the 2004 race earned plaudits. Some credited his strong debates against President George W. Bush with tightening the race in the closing weeks of the 2004 campaign.
It is his perspective on Romney, though, that could be especially valuable for Obama. Kerry was a key surrogate on behalf of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) when he defeated Romney in 1994. And Kerry closely observed Romney's successful 2002 gubernatorial campaign, where his performance in debates against Democrat Shannon O'Brien were believed to have helped him win.
"There is no one that has more experience or understanding of the presidential debate process than John Kerry," said David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist. "He's an expert debater who has a fundamental mastery of a wide range of issues, including Mitt Romney's Massachusetts. He's the obvious choice."
In his own presidential campaign, Kerry faced similar challenges as Romney does now. He struggled to deal with his aloofness and vast personal wealth as President Bush tried to portray him as out-of-touch with everyday Americans, while the Republicans labeled Kerry a "flip-flopper" for a series of policy shifts.
Romney has not selected someone to play Obama in his mock debates, although he plans to soon. Romney prepared extensively for the Republican debates during the primary season, but although he practiced answers he did not hold mock rehearsals because there were so many other candidates on stage.
In 2008, Sen. John McCain tapped Rob Portman, now a senator from Ohio, to play Obama. Portman also played vice presidential nominee Joe Lieberman in 2000 during Vice President Dick Cheney's rehearsals.
Kerry's appointment underscores his growing role in Obama's political orbit. Obama passed over Kerry for secretary of state to appoint Hillary Clinton, but Kerry became chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and has been dispatched by the White House on a number of diplomatic missions. He is among the candidates believed to be under consideration to succeed Clinton at the State Department in a second Obama administration.
Kerry helped found a debating society at St. Paul's School and was a star debater at Yale University. In his 1996 reelection race against Bill Weld, then the popular Republican governor, the two held seven, hour-long televised debates in the Lincoln-Douglas tradition. Kerry's performance in them helped propel him to victory, 53 percent to Weld's 45 percent.
A decade later, then-Sen. Joe Biden described the Kerry-Weld debates as "the most significant debates that I've ever heard in American politics" since the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858.

From our "Powerhouse Brochures" conference presentation...
A reader from Richmond, VA writes:
"What are some different formats forlaying out brochures, besides the ol' 3-fold, 6-panel way?"
New life for old brochure layouts...
A lot of people often ask this very same question. The solution to this is really a simple matter of backing up and taking a different perspective on the whole approach. My tried and true philosophy, when trying to break out of old layouts is:
- Look for opportunity! (I talk about opportunity quite often!)
- Ask questions of your project
I won't launch into a marketing dissertation. But I will pass along this important rule: designing a successful brochure is a duet between two individuals. It takes an important exchange of ideas between the designer and the writer. If you remove either of these parts from the equation, the results will be somewhat less. You have to do both parts? You'll need someone else to test and cure your ideas. From the moment you arrive at your first concept, you are no longer capable of making judgments about the design. You already know how it's intended to work. Already, you are too close. It takes that all-important second pair of eyes.
Remember: test and test again.
Now, let's design a brochure
We want to look for opportunity and we want to ask questions of your project. Let's not start like most people do -- let's ask our questions first.
- How can we fold this paper to stand out from the rest?
- How can we force the reader to become involved?
- How can we provide subliminal clues that the reader will want to follow?
Let's look for opportunity. I find the most opportunity in the basic press sheet.
- Where are you printing the brochure?
- What's the largest image size?
- How can we build our cuts and folds out of this sheet differently?
Get a press sheet and start folding.
Better yet, go to the printer and get a stack of press sheets. Start folding. Now move the folds. Now reverse the folds.
Give it a try.
From this example (at right) we discover three very different brochures that all come from the same sheet of paper, but can be designed to tell three very different messages. Or, tell the same story three different ways.
Discovering different ways of telling our story is of paramount importance in designing a successful communication piece.
Don't have a story to tell? Rewrite your information so it has a lead-in, a beginning, a middle and an ending. What are the logical steps you want your reader to take? How should they "discover the story?
It is very important that we "involve" our reader. One proven way of doing that is by making a story unfold through the panels of the brochure.
Look at the examples and ask how a dynamic story can unfold. How can we force the reader to take the desired logical steps of our message?
These will all run comfortably out of an 11 x 17, or even an 8.5 x 14 legal size sheet.
Some other variations...
If you're bound into the 8.5 x 11 size, perhaps you might try the "Offset French" fold. Here the sheet is simply folded into quarters. Move the last fold left or right and the simple sheet becomes a powerful opportunity to present your message in a dynamic 1, 2, 3, step-through fashion.
We've involved our reader, supplied visual clues to inspire and direct the reader through our message a step at a time, and we've taken the opportunity to do a layout that our reader probably doesn't see every day. Our three important questions are now answered.
This concept also works very well with legal-size paper. Try different sizes, and try unfolding in different sequences to see how best to integrate the copy into the concept!
Angles???Here's another one. Why think in terms of traditional cutting and folding.
This angle cut cost few dollars more than a straight cut version, but look at the wonderful added impact it could have on the reader. Here the story unfolds with very persuading results.
As the brochure opens it reveals each part of our message as WE want it to.
The angled cut provides an unusual presentation of the overall format. It's different - it will get noticed. The mail panel integrates the readers name as part of the overall look, but also puts the reader's name and address right on the reply card.
What a motivater!
The reader doesn't even have to fill anything out! We've made it inviting. (The folded flap motivates the reader to open the brochure.) We've involved our reader, and we've provided an easy way for our reader to respond.
These are but a few examples of new life for the old, tired 3-fold brochure. There are lots more. Once you get those press sheets and start folding, I bet you'll develop some exciting new ones for your self! Send them to me if you do! (He says with a smile, and a wink!)
Hope you can make it to our workshop in the Washington, D.C. area. Those attending that workshop will get our printed handouts which will include these and a half-dozen or so others , ready to put to work right away! Keep your eye on future issues of DT&G - we've got many more great layouts to come!
Until next time... Happy folding!
Don't forget ... we encourage you to share your discoveries about favorite or famous graphic designers and illustrators with other readers. Just contact me here, or just give me a tweet at Twitter/DTG_Magazine

Peterson remaining focused while chasing Dickerson
RB 294 yards short of single-season rushing record
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said he doesn't believe Adrian Peterson's pursuit of the single-season rushing record will take focus away from the team's playoff chase.
Peterson needs 294 yards in his final two games to eclipse Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards set in 1984.
Frazier said he spoke to Peterson on Monday about focusing on winning the last two games of the season. The Vikings (8-6) believe they need to win at Houston and home against Green Bay to get into the playoffs.
Frazier said he knows Peterson remains committed to doing whatever it takes to win, record or no record.

Sour Cherry Chocolate Mousse Cake
We are happy to announce that Marla Orenstein has won our February 2006 "Cook the Cover" contest with her delicious variation on our Chocolate-Glazed Hazelnut Mousse Cake.
Marla Orenstein explains her variation:
To me, this rich, heavy chocolate dessert is enhanced with the addition of a complementary tart or sour taste. In this recipe, I have added a new layer—a reduction of sour cherry jam mixed with balsamic vinegar and brandy—between the chocolate shortbread and the chocolate mousse. I find the taste of the whole cake to be more complex and enjoyable as a result.
- Yield
- Makes 6 to 8 servings
- For sour cherry jam
- 3/4 cup sour cherry jam or preserves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons calvados (or other type of brandy)
- For shortbread base
- 2 tablespoons hazelnuts, toasted and skins rubbed off
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- For mousse
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-oz envelope)
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread such as Nutella (5 oz)
- 1/2 cup mascarpone (1/4 lb)
- 1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- For ganache
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 3 1/2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
- Special Equipment
- an 8-inch (20-cm) springform pan; parchment paper
- Make sour cherry jam:
- In a small saucepan stir together the cherry jam, balsamic vinegar, and calvados. Simmer over low heat until the liquid reduces and thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until cooled completely.
- Make shortbread base:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Invert bottom of springform pan (to make it easier to slide shortbread base off bottom), then lock on side of pan and line bottom with a round of parchment paper.
- Pulse hazelnuts with sugar in a food processor until nuts are finely chopped. Add flour, butter, cocoa, and salt and pulse just until a dough forms.
- Press dough evenly onto bottom of springform pan with your fingers. Prick all over with a fork, then bake until just dry to the touch, about 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer base in pan to a rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove side of pan and carefully slide out parchment from under shortbread, then reattach side of pan around shortbread base.
- Make mousse while shortbread cools:
- Sprinkle gelatin over water in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring, just until gelatin is melted, about 2 minutes. Whisk in chocolate hazelnut spread until combined and remove from heat.
- Whisk together mascarpone and chocolate hazelnut mixture in a large bowl. Beat together cream, cocoa powder, and sugar in another large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed until just combined, then increase speed to high and beat until cream just holds soft peaks. Whisk one third of whipped cream into mascarpone mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whipped cream until well combined.
- Use a spoon or rubber spatula to spread the jam mixture evenly on top of shortbread, then spoon the mousse layer on top of the jam, gently smoothing top. Chill, covered, at least 3 hours.
- Make ganache and glaze cake:
- Bring cream to a simmer in a small heavy saucepan and remove from heat. Add chocolate and let stand 1 minute, then gently whisk until completely melted and smooth. Transfer ganache to a small bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened but still pourable, about 20 minutes.
- Run a warm thin knife around inside of springform pan, then remove side. Slide cake off bottom of pan and transfer to a serving plate. Pour ganache onto top of cake and spread, allowing excess ganache to drip down sides.
Cooks' notes:
·Cake, without glaze, can be chilled up to 2 days.
·Cake can be glazed 6 hours ahead and chilled, uncovered
·Cake can be glazed 6 hours ahead and chilled, uncovered

Katy Perry flew the friendly skies in a beige Chanel track suit from the 2011 spring/summer collection. She paired the track suit with Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats and a Chanel 2.55 bag. It's a very comfy look – I'm a bit jealous. I love sweatpants and it doesn't get better than Chanel sweatpants. I do have one pet peeve though… I'm not so into wearing sweatpants in public unless you are on your way to the gym. Does the fact that they're Chanel sweatpants make it ok? It was a 15 hour flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne and it is afterall, Chanel, so I'll let this one slide

Read a few funny snippets of interviews with Karl Lagerfeld – he really has a way with words. I can't help but smile when I read his answers. He doesn't want Haider Ackerman to succeed him at Chanel, he doesn't like women in thongs, his hair is low maintenance and the campaign featuring Crystal Renn was shot in his childhood bed.

"Photo Mood" by Karl Lagerfeld for Magnum Ice Cream
A month ago we shared the news that Karl Lagerfeld was directing Rachel Bilson in a series of ads for Magnum Ice Cream and two weeks ago we gave you a sneak peek of the preview. Well, here is the first of three ads directed by Karl Lagerfeld and featuring Rachel Bilson for Magnum Ice Cream. "Photo Mood" features Rachel Bilson as an annoyed famous model who finds the pleasure she's been seeking in the form of a smooth and delicious Magnum ice cream bar.
What do you think? I wonder if Baptiste Giabiconi got inspiration from watching Karl Lagerfeld as a photographer? He's modeled for Karl and been photographed by him many times. I'm curious!

Karl Lagerfeld, Wine Label Designer
Karl Lagerfeld is adding yet another job to his ever-growing resume – wine label designer. Word on the street is that Karl Lagerfeld is designing the 2009 label for Rauzan-Ségla to mark the château's 350th birthday this year. In 1994, Chanel bought Rauzan-Ségla so the rumor isn't too far fetched. If this project comes to fruition it won't be the first time Karl Lagerfeld is working with a beverage company: he recently released his second collaboration with Coca Cola Light (or as we like to call it in the U.S. Diet Coke) and he worked with Dom Pérignon for the 1998 vintage.

Karl Lagerfeld Wants You To Smell Like Books
In his latest project in a perpetual list of collaborations, Karl Lagerfeld has teamed up with publisher Steidl to create a fragrance that is inspired by his love of – books. Everything Uncle Karl touches turns to gold and based on the packaging alone, this project qualifies. The bottle will come enclosed in a hollowed-out book – genius! No word yet on a launch date but I'll keep you posted as I learn info.

Info: BellaSugar
Luxuo is reporting that Karl Lagerfeld is not involved with the scent that Steidl is producing – they stated:
The German designer's PR director Caroline Fragner has issued a statement saying Lagerfeld is not involved in the creation of new fragrance Paper Passion as was reported last week.
Stating that only beauty giant Coty Prestige develops and distributes any fragrance for the label Karl Lagerfeld, Fragner explained:
"Mr Lagerfeld refutes his implication in the launch of the perfume Paper Passion. This project, of which Mr Steidl told him about, only emanate[s] from the art books' publisher himself.
Mr Lagerfeld copublishes many books with Mr Steidl but stick[s] to Coty Prestige when it is about his own perfumes' creations."
Stories of the paper-inspired perfume were initiated by German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) last week, reporting that Lagerfeld — who is known for his love of books and says he stocks more than 300,000 of them in his famous personal library — was already working on the fragrance with his publisher of choice, Steidl, which distributes most of the designer's photography books.
Industry insiders are assuming that, while Lagerfeld as a brand is bound to Coty by contract, the designer might be personally involved in Steidl's project.

Lily Allen Is Blowing Her Wedding Budget
A while back Lily Allen let us know that Karl Lagerfeld was designing her wedding dress and it appears that her sisters Teddy and Sarah will also be wearing Chanel.
A source close to Lily – whose wedding dresses is being created by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld – said: "I think the wedding dress itself is going to cost a small fortune. And her sisters, Teddy and Sarah, who are bridesmaids, are getting Chanel dresses too. If there was a budget for the wedding, it's been completely blown.
I can't wait to see these wedding photos – I can't recall the last time a celebrity had a custom Chanel gown made. I wonder if Lily gave Karl complete freedom? Probably not, most brides want to have control of their day. Nonetheless, I'm sure Lily's gown and her sisters' dresses will be stunning.

Chanel J12 Chromatic Titanium Ceramic Watch
A few weeks ago we gave you a sneak peek of the soon-to-release Chanel J12 Chromatic watch. What makes this watch different from the existing J12 models is the unique compound from which it is made. This is no regular ceramic – it is ceramic mixed with diamond powder and titanium to give the watch the look of metal, with the durability of ceramic. As Charlie Sheen would say…"Uh, winning!" The Chanel J12 Chromatic Titanium Ceramic watch is gorgeous – and the addition of diamonds doesn't hurt! I would love this watch but something tells me it's going to be pretty spendy. The watch releases on June 1, 2011.

Tried and Tested: Rouge Coco Shine
On Saturday I stopped by the Chanel boutique in San Francisco and I picked up some treats for myself (pics later in the week). While I was there I tested out Rouge Coco Shine. It's really quite amazing. It goes on as a lipstick, has the coverage of a lipstick, but the moisture and shininess of a lipgloss. It's like two products – lipstick and lipgloss – in one. I tested a few colors and found that Deauville was probably the best for me since I like to keep things neutral. In fact, most of the colors are pretty neutral and seem like they would flatter many people with different skin tones. If you haven't tried out Rouge Coco Shine I would definitely check it out. You can find Rouge Coco Shine at Chanel makeup counters or on the Chanel website.

NY-based designers Costello Tagliapietra has teamed up with Japanese-brand Uniqlo to create a line of work-appropriate jersey and cotton dresses. Whether cinched or draped, the warmer-weather pieces offer enough coverage and length for the office (working girls, rejoice!), but are fashion-forward enough to wear out with vertiginous heels and a big ol' necklace during those cool summer nights, too. It seems that the line is already available in Japan, but we'll keep you updated if the wares move overseas to our SoHo location. (PR Wire) (Uniqlo)
Update: They'll hit stores on May 20th with prices ranging from $29 to $39. Holy crap, that's cheap!

Top 10 Heaviest 2013 Coupes
The two-door coupe is traditionally the body style associated with sporty and exotic cars. While that's still mostly true today, entries like the two-door Mini Paceman and giant luxury cars from Rolls-Royce blur the lines a little bit. As a result, not every new coupe is a featherweight sports car -- some weigh more than SUVs or pickup trucks. Here are the ten heaviest coupes on sale today.
1. 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed / GT W-12 -- 6063 pounds
Price (including destination): $215,000 / $193,250
The Bentley Continental GT Speed has a lot of big numbers on its specifications sheet: 616 hp, a top speed of 205 mph, and a curb weight of 6063 pound. It's the latter number that earns the Bentley Continental range the top spot on our list of portly coupes. Much of the Speed's weight comes from its beefy engine, a 6.0-liter W-12 with two turbochargers. The Continental GT W-12 tips the scales at the same lofty 6063-pound figure, as it uses the same twin-turbo W-12 engine but in a lower state of tune. There is, however, a much skinnier model: the new Continental GT V-8 uses a smaller, lighter twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 that keeps the car's mass to just 5060 pounds. Why are the cars so heavy? Primarily because they have eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive, and because they're filled to the brim with luxury appointments like wood and leather trim. Bentley also offers convertible versions of the Continental GT, called the GTC, which are even heavier.
2. 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé -- 5688 pounds
Price: $433,895
Even though it stretches 220.8 inches long and spans 78.2 inches wide, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé isn't the heaviest coupe on sale today -- but it's pretty close. The massive, majestic two-door body contains a 6.7-liter V-12 engine good for 453 hp and 531 lb-ft, channeled through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Ornate details abound: the hood and windshield frame are made from exposed stainless steel, the rear-hinged doors can be closed with the touch of a button, and there's even an optional headliner with twinkling LEDs meant to mimic starlight. Despite a lightweight aluminum body, filling the interior with hand-prepared wood, leather, and chrome keeps the Phantom Coupé's mass high. And even with all that mass to move around, the V-12 engine still propels the Rolls to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 155 mph. Given the fact the car is built by hand and offers that much capability, it's no wonder the Phantom Coupé is the most expensive entry on this list.
3. 2013 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG -- 5027 pounds
Price: $214,105
The Mercedes CL-Class shows, like the previous two entries, that a big twelve-cylinder engine usually leads to a heavy car. In the case of the CL65 AMG, it's a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 that churns out 621 hp and 738 lb-ft. A five-speed automatic transmission directs that power to a pair of 20-inch wheels and tires at the rear axle. Mercedes says 60 mph arrives in just 4.3 seconds, and top speed is limited to 186 mph. This is a seriously fast coupe despite its prodigious weight. There are, of course, three other versions of the CL-Class that are somewhat lighter, but still none are featherweights. The CL550 measures just 4619 pounds, equipped with its 429-hp, twin-turbo 4.7-liter V-8 engine. The CL600 has a 510-hp 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 and weighs 4894 pounds. And finally, the CL63 AMG comes in at 4894 pounds and packs a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 good for 536 hp.
4. 2013 BMW 650i xDrive -- 4387 pounds
Price: $89,395
The heftiest version of the BMW 6-Series coupe is not the boisterous, 560-hp BMW M6 coupe, but the only all-wheel-drive model. The 650i xDrive tips the scales at 4387 pounds, 154 heavier than its rear-wheel-drive version and 386 pounds more than the six-cylinder 640i coupe. The xDrive system accounts for most of the extra mass, although it does make the stylish coupe more appealing to buyers in regions that get snow. Its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 produces 400 hp and 450 lb-ft, and while the xDrive edition is offered only with an eight-speed automatic, buyers of the rear-wheel-drive 650i can also opt for a six-speed manual transmission.
5. 2013 Cadillac CTS-V automatic -- 4255 pounds
Price: $65,410
Adding the "V" suffix to a Cadillac CTS coupe means installing a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine, hefty performance suspension, Brembo brakes, available Recaro bucket seats, and more aggressive bodywork, all of which bumps the car's mass up to 4255 pounds when fitted with a six-speed automatic transmission, or 4217 when equipped with a six-speed manual. The loud, aggressive V is also offered as a sedan and as a wagon -- the latter incredibly cool because it's the only manual-transmission, 556-hp station wagon we know of. Without all the go-fast goodies, regular versions of the Cadillac CTS coupe are considerably more svelte. Powered by a 318-hp 3.6-liter V-6, the car weighs in at 3898 with rear-wheel drive and 4096 pounds if buyers pay extra for all-wheel drive.
6. 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 automatic -- 4170 pounds
Price: $44,420
Muscle cars are rarely pinnacles of lightweight construction, and the Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is no exception. When equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission, the SRT8 392 weighs 4170 pounds. Opting for a six-speed manual transmission saves a negligible ten pounds but makes the SRT8 392 more engaging to drive. Fortunately the Challenger counters its mass with a 6.4-liter V-8 with 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, which is enough to send the big coupe to 60 mph in less than five seconds. The size of the Hemi V-8 engine contributes plenty of pounds to the curb weight, but the Challenger isn't a light car to begin with. Its big footprint -- nearly as long and as wide as the Dodge Grand Caravan minivan -- means that even the lightest versions are still heavy hitters. The Challenger SXT, which has a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 305 hp, weighs 3834 pounds. The Challenger R/T is the middle child, with a 375-hp 5.7-liter V-8 and curb weight of 4082 pounds.
7. 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 -- 4120 pounds
Price: $55,250
The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is big on two things: horsepower and weight. Yet even with the focus on its 580-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V-8, the Camaro ZL1 still manages to perform on twisty roads: the big coupe set a 7:41.27 lap on the grueling Nürburgring in Germany, a time on par with some of the world's best sports cars. The ZL1 wears a long list of aerodynamic components to reduce lift at speed, as well as strong Brembo brakes and two-mode magnetic shock absorbers. Yet all those goodies, along with interior upgrades like leather bucket seats and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, pile on more weight. A standard Camaro coupe with the 323-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 engine weighs only 3741 to 3780 pounds, depending on trim. The Camaro SS, powered by a 426-hp, 6.2-liter V-8, is 3860 pounds with a six-speed manual transmission and 3913 with a six-speed automatic.
8. 2013 Audi RS5 -- 4009 pounds
Price: $69,795
With its 450-hp 4.2-liter V-8 engine, quick-acting dual-clutch transmission, and torque-vectoring Quattro all-wheel drive, the RS5 is the most exciting version of Audi's A5 coupe to date. It's also the heaviest version, scaling at 4009 pounds -- more than 300 pounds heavier than the regular Audi A5. Yet the weight doesn't hold back the Audi's performance potential. In a recent comparison test, it lapped Michigan's Grattan Raceway quicker than a BMW M3, Porsche Boxster S, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. The A5 and S5 coupes have less power, but still reward owners with a sporting driving experience wrapped in a sultry design. The A5 and S5 were mildly refreshed for the 2013 model year, with upgrades including new headlights, a new grille, electric power steering, more infotainment toys, and a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 in place of the car's previous 4.2-liter V-8. The base A5 coupe weighs 3681 pounds, while the S5 is 3858 pounds with a six-speed manual transmission and 3924 pounds with its optional seven-speed dual-clutch.
9. 2013 Jaguar XKR / XKR-S -- 3968 pounds
Price: $98,375 / $132,875
Although a regular Jaguar XK coupe weighs only 3770 pounds, the faster XKR and XKR-S coupes tip the scales at 3968 pounds. Compared to the base XK, the performance versions add a supercharger to the 5.0-liter V-8 engine, boosting horsepower to 510 in the XKR coupe and 550 in the XKR-S. The cars also get performance equipment like stiffer suspension, larger brakes, and a rear wing, which adds even more mass to the British two-door, earning the XKR and XKR-S the number-nine spot on our list. Buyers who want a lighter -- but also considerably slower -- Jaguar coupe can opt for the base XK, which is powered by a non-supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 with 305 hp. It weighs only 3770 pounds.
10. 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG -- 3935 pounds
Price: $63,325
The C63 AMG is the heaviest version of Mercedes' C-Class coupe for one simple reason: it's got a big 6.2-liter V-8 engine under the hood. That engine produces 451 hp in standard guise or 481 hp if buyers opt for the $6050 AMG Development package, and a seven-speed automatic transmission transmits that power to the 18-inch rear wheels. Mercedes claims a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.4 seconds for the standard car and 4.3 seconds for those with the AMG kit. Top speed is normally limited to 155 mph but raised to 174 mph with the AMG package. Other versions of the C-Class coupe are significantly lighter, owing to their smaller engines and brakes, and reduced equipment levels. The C250, which has a 201-hp, 1.8-liter turbo-four engine, weighs 3538 pounds. The 302-hp C350 coupe tips the scales at 3693 lb with rear-wheel drive and 3737 pounds with 4Matic all-wheel drive.

Every since I made that first Kopywriting Kourse….I've wanted to make a course with the acronym KKK.
I have no idea why, other than I thought it would be funny (and I'm not white so I might get away with it) ;-)
I realllly wanted to do some sort of membership thing which would allow me to call it the Kopywriting Kourse Klub. And it would have a signup pages that says JOIN THE KKK!!!
It was actually a subtle nod to this Simpsons sketch:
HA! That makes me crack up every time!
Anyhow, here's the story of how I ended up doing a product called the KKKs. Yes…. 'KKK' with a lower-case 's' at the end (I had a feeling sending 700,000 people an email saying "10 REASONS YOU SHOULD JOIN THE KKK !!" wouldn't fly so well.
First I decided to do a "Kopywriting Kourse Part 2" ….which would go more in depth about Kopywriting. The original course does extraordinarily well to this day because within two hours it changes the way people write forever.
But while trying to put together a "Part 2" ……it didn't feel right. Most of the material was just re-hashed from the first one.
So then I got the idea to drill down to about 15 more specific subjects…such as:
- Kopywriting for eCommerce sites.
- Kopywriting for landing pages.
- Kopywriting for brick n mortar businesses.
- Kopywriting for real estate agents.
- Kopywriting for blogs.
- Kopywriting for iPhone apps.
- Kopywriting for daily deal sites.
- ….this list went on and on……
Well a lot of these were good (I really wanted to do a copywriting for iPhone apps or something hot like that)…..but they were TOO SPECIFIC.
In a perfect world I'd make every single one of those sub-categories of products, but that's A LOT of work.
The next thing I did was put out a page for FREE COPYWRITING (you can no longer enter so don't try) ….in order to get some real case studies.
Within a week we got 100+ qualified people who entered (some crap ones snuck in there too).
Quickly we realized that people had ALL KINDS OF BUSINESSES WHICH NEEDED HELP.
The "Kopywriting Kourse Kase Studies" was born.
So the whole premise was to watch as we take businesses and make them convert higher (aka get more sales$s) with only minutes of work (well….sometimes with about 1 hour of work).
- Some of the businesses needed better copy to explain their product. We would re-write pages.
- Some of the businesses were nearly flawless, and could only be improved with a video. We would make them a quick-n-dirty video.
- Some of the businesses were totally shit to begin with, and needed to be re-thought or abandoned (no amount of great copywriting can help a shitty business for the longrun).
- Some of the businesses needed to stop getting people to their website, and getting people from places like Craigslist with easy ads. We made those ads (which ALWAYS work btw).
I also noticed the side-effect of this course was people would learn how to consult for other businesses very quickly!
After watching several kase studies you quickly notice patterns.
Every kase study (except one) in the kourse so far has increased conversion rates even with the very half-assed-and-quick improvements we made.
For the one that DIDN'T improve conversion rates (it was an email promotion I thought would TOTALLY KILL IT ….but ended up doing 25% worse), we explain why that happened.
It was one of those things I could've easily just "conveniently not included" but I wanted people to see a failure…because sometimes tests fail in the real world (WHO WOULD'VE THUNK IT)!
I almost wanted to change the name from "Kopywriting Kourse Kase Studies" to " Learn how to con$ult for businesses by improving small things" ….but didn't want to people to think ANYONE could do it with such ease.
My intention was also to FIRST have everyone watch the original KopywritingKourse before watching this.
Anyhow, that's how products we make come along.
I'll shortly be putting out some products not STARING me but PRODUCED by me….we'll see how it goes :-)

Bees sting Magpies
Brentford beat Notts County 2-1 to stay in the hunt for an automatic promotion spot.
A goalkeeping blunder by County's Bartosz Bialkowski gifted the Bees a first-half lead when Toumani Diagouraga's tame side-foot shot slipped through his grasp and rolled into the net.
The Pole was substituted at half-time but there was little his replacement Kevin Pilkington could do to stop the hosts from making it 2-0 after 70 minutes.
Bradley Wright-Phillips latched onto a throughball from Tom Adeyemi to smash a rasping shot inside the far post for his first goal for the Londoners.
But Brentford were pegged back four minutes later when Jake Bidwell sent Alan Judge tumbling inside the box and the Magpies midfielder reacted quickest to tap home the rebound when Jamal Campbell-Ryce's penalty was saved by Simon Moore.
Uwe Rosler's team, who dominated the first half and saw Wright-Phillips fire against the upright, had to hold on in the dying stages.
Judge saw a bobbling long-range effort saved at the second attempt by Moore and substitute Enoch Showunmi twice saw shots cleared as the Bees dropped deeper and deeper.
Brentford's top scorer Clayton Donaldson could have settled their nerves on the hour mark but fired straight at Pilkington, while Moore had to be brave to deny the onrushing Showunmi deep into injury time.

My grandfather was a highlander from around Peja. He 'slipped' down the mountains between the two world wars and ended up in the first city at the bottom – Peja! My mother came from an old Pristina Albanian family. Apart from Albanian they also talked Turkish, the lingua franca of the time. People in their social class did. So, old Serbian families talked in Turkish to old Albanian families…
My father's generation was the first to be educated. This was despite the fact that he was from an anti-communist family. My grandfather had been declared a 'kulak' and after the war his wealth was confiscated. This meant that my father was not awarded a scholarship to continue his education in Belgrade. When this happened my grandfather found him crying because all his schoolmates were to leave for Belgrade, but not him. It was a most important moment in our family history. My grandfather promised that somehow he would find the money. He did, and so it was that my father was able to leave for Belgrade to take Albanian studies in the 1950s.
My first memories are from the mid 60s. Football, of course. Usually, we could not get into the football stadium, so we climbed the trees to watch matches. Then I remember there was a small JNA base in the very centre of Pristina. It had a swimming pool, which seemed very beautiful. My father was a journalist so he got permission for us to go there. It was a great experience. Then I remember a beautiful car, an "Opel Manta" at the beginning of the 1970s. There were so few cars at that time. It was very sporty. It looked like a space shuttle!
In this period we started to have kind of wealth. There were the first colour televisions and modern furniture and fridges. We started to have a middle class. Everyone was beginning to live like everyone else. The university library started to be built and it felt like we were becoming the real capital of Kosovo. All the streets were being paved with asphalt and asphalt was the symbol of progress. We even called the mayor "Asphalt Nazmi"!
At the time our leaders thought they were fighting the old Ottoman heritage and building a new society, a new language and a new man. So they also started to build new blocks of flats, and people wanted to live in them. If you lived in an old house it felt very old fashioned. One cousin exchanged his house for a small flat. He thought he had made a good deal. Today he regrets the deal!
In 1976, suddenly, we had the first modern cafes. The 1970s were the best period we lived through in this place. After 1981 everything started to decline.
In 1980, with some friends I started a new wave band called Gjurmet – The Traces. After the demonstrations of 1981, in the context of youth in Pristina identifying themselves with Albania, where rock 'n' roll was banned, it meant you had taken a kind of political attitude. We were declaring ourselves for the next civilisation, a 'go west' attitude, and not for communist Albania. Being a rocker meant that you were closer to the Yugoslav type of communism rather than Albanian communism. Amongst many it was… unpopular.
In the 80s we had concerts though and at the Boom festival, in which bands were invited from across Yugoslavia and abroad we could have up to 4,000 or 5,000 people.
In the 1990s apartheid stated. Suddenly everything went underground. The centre of town was dominated by Serbs. For ten years I never entered the Hotel Grand. There were paramilitaries there, secret police, Arkan. I was afraid. There was no social life, except in private homes.
After the bombing started in March 1999, we were picked up by the Serbian police, gathered together and taken to the outskirts of Pristina, to the old train station. When I got there I saw 20-30,000 people. Milosevic had started the crazy idea of deportation. I was afraid in case they were going to start killing. When I realised we were going to Macedonia I was happy.
After '81 the question was how to be heroes in this city. We were listening to David Bowie's "Heroes" – just for one day! We found that it was impossible to be heroes in our city, because we realised that our city did not have a river! We realised that we lived in the only capital without a river, because it had been buried. We were the heroes of the riverless city! Don Quixotes! But, you can't be a hero in a city without a river, can you? When we were being deported though, on the outskirts of town, we could see where the river emerged from underneath the town.
Today Pristina is a mess. People are greedy. They are grabbing houses and land and selling things they don't own. But they are not Pristina people. They are newcomers. They don't feel the pulse of the city. They are building ugly buildings and grabbing public spaces for their own private benefit and ministries and the government are involved. I feel like they are creating a large village out of our city.
That makes for a challenge though. Just like during our rocker days. A challenge to start something, a civic movement, which would aim, one beautiful day, at digging up and revealing our city's buried river!

When I started getting serious about action on the Israel-Palestine conflict and the associated US foreign policy, I found it imperative to convince people that the Oslo Accords were doomed to fail. There were the obvious critiques of the accords: the lack of any sort of human rights framework, the absence of consequences for failing to abide by conditions or fulfill agreed upon commitments, and the formal recognition of Israel without any mention whatsoever of a potential Palestinian state. But I saw an even bigger obstacle.
Conventional wisdom has it that Jerusalem is the most difficult stumbling block. But I have always maintained that it is the Palestinian refugees that were the most serious obstacle to a negotiated solution. Read more at LobeLog

Crash kills woman headed to choir practice
Couple headed to Lake Hill Baptist Church
A trip to choir practice ended in a fatal crash Saturday afternoon.
Alma Oldaker, 70, and her husband, John Oldaker, 76, were traveling to Lake Hill Baptist Church at Old Winter Garden Road and Hudson Street.
The crash happened at the intersection of the two roads in Orlo Vista.
Officials with the Florida Highway Patrol said John Oldaker had stopped at a stop sign on Hudson Street, but he drove into the intersection and the path of a larger car driven by Eugene Shilton.
Shilton's Toyota Camry hit the passenger's side of Oldaker's small car, killing Alma Oldaker and causing minor injuries to John Oldaker, who was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center.
The FHP said the Oldakers were not wearing their seat belts.
The Rev. Jerry Forrest of the Lake Hill Baptist Church said John Oldaker is one of the church's deacons.
Forrest said several members of his church have been hurt in crashes there over the years, and a traffic light is needed to reduce the number of crashes.
There are stop signs on Hudson Street, but Forrest said no traffic control devices on Old Winter Garden Road at the intersection.
Forrest asked for people to pray for the Oldaker family at this difficult time.

Crowd booed, chanted for refunds and hurled bottles into the ring. Alleged "*censored* THIS COMPANY" chants broke-out.
ROH World Title Match: Kevin Steen © vs. Jay lethal went to a no contest at about 35-minutes.
"For as many Steen shirts I saw throughout the night, Jay Lethal had the crowd 85-15 in favor of him. This match was incredible and got a ton of time. Crowd was alive for the whole match which is expected. Lethal hit the Lethal Injection on Steen, but Steen kicked out and then would later hit the Lethal Injection, but Steen rolled out of the ring. This is where it all went wrong. After Steen rolls out of the ring, he goes into one of the corner barricades where Jay Lethal's parents are sitting. He starts talking a bit of trash and then Lethal's mom throws her soda in his face. Steen spits on her and that's when Lethal went chaotic. Jay starts pounding on Steen as Cornette (who was at ringside for this match), Corino & Jacobs, ring crew, and
others start to break things up. Of course there were pull-away, someone escapes and attacks the other moments. Steen goes up the ramp and starts tearing down the curtain and then exits with the rest of Scum. Lethal throws one of the ring crew guys and referees, chairs; he just goes ballistic. He yells at Cornette (couldn't make out what he was saying) and then escorts his parents out of the building. He comes back to ringside and nothing's happening. EXTREMELY loud "Bulls***" chants as Lethal proceeds up the ramp. No one knows what's going on until Bobby Cruise goes on the microphone and announces that the match is ruled a No Contest, apologizes for the language exchanged by Steen and Lethal, and reminds the fans that tickets are on sale for Final Battle in New York City.
That's when the crowd starts rebelling. More "Bulls***" chants and a ton of bottles and trash start getting thrown into the ring. People start chanting "REFUND! REFUND!" as Cornette and company exit. I saw a few people trying to throw chairs into the ringside area as well. I overheard fans saying "F this company", "I'm done" as well as other expletive filled rants. NO ONE was happy with this ending and honestly, I was too. How does Ring of Honor think that having a No Contest result with the hometown boy in the World Title match will be good business? Everyone left with a negative attitude and ROH's "build" to a possible Steen/Lethal rematch at Final Battle has completely backfired.
Overall, although I enjoyed the show, I and everyone in attendance were left with a VERY bad taste in our mouths. I really just don't understand the logic of doing that finish in Jay Lethal's backyard. I honestly can't imagine ROH running this market for awhile after the finish (or lack thereof) of the main event."

"They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America"
(Paul Simon, America)
In the last three weeks I have driven over 4000 miles back and forth across the United States of America. I had plenty of company. As Paul Simon wrote, it sure looks like everyone was out on the freeways and highways looking for America. Here are a few observations on American and traveling:
1. There sure are a lot of cemeteries. After driving 1300 miles in two days from Provo, Utah to the Mississippi River, the first thing we did was go see a cemetery. It is the Galland Cemetery, just north of Keokuk, Iowa in Lee County, overlooking the Mississippi River. This small cemetery has a gravemarker for my wife's Great-great-greatgrandfather and grandmother, Jesse and Mary Pettit. They both died in 1842 leaving six young children. Their son, Edwin Pettit, walked across the Plains to Utah as a young boy, with only his older sister to care for him. The place where they were originally buried is now under the waters of Lake Cooper behind the Keokuk Dam (Dam No. 19). Their graves were moved up on a hill to the Galland Cemetery, but the actual locations of the graves were lost. A few years ago, a group of Edwin Pettit's descendants raised a fund to establish a gravemarker. There is something sublime about standing in these small, almost unmarked, cemeteries and reflecting on the lives of those buried there.
2. There are even more cemeteries. If you live in the Midwest you have your projects all outlined for you. There are hundreds of small cemeteries scattered all over the countryside. I only feel a little bit sorry that I don't live in the Midwest to help.
3. The U.S. is dry enough to blow away in the next windstorm. We saw hundreds of miles of mainly corn crops that were killed by the drought.
4. I like back roads a lot more than freeways until I am really tired of driving, then I like going 70 mph instead of 45 or 50 mph.
5. All in all, the U.S. is showing very definite signs of the recession. There are a huge number of deserted business buildings.
6. I really like visiting with the genealogists across the country. What a great group of people!

Okay, there seem to be more conspiracy theories around Illumina then Roswell. Let me see if I can clear some of this up.
I've said before how Illumia is a bit of an obscure character. A few folks have asked about other "obscure" characters that have been in the line, Gygor, Vikor, maybe even Star Sisters as a comparison.
I'm not here to justify every choice, but as a broad overview, all of those character had longer histories or links directly to the vintage line. This gave them the extra "ah" factor management wants.
People have also asked (Suspected!) that Mattel wouldn't do Illumnia because she is connected to Val and Emiliano. Honestly, I really think this is something that means more to you guys. Mattel seriously has no opinion on this.
At the end of the day she is: "a character who never appeared in a story but only on a print ad". The zealous desire to see her in the line on this site and others I presume is because she has a connection to the He-Man.org founders and I totally respect that. (unless I am reading into things and the desire is instead perhaps due to her look? I can't think of something else since she has since she never had a storyline) But I can confirm her connection to Val or Emiliano or anyone else from 200X era never even comes up here. The ONLY time creators have EVER been linked directly to one figure are the 6 new 30th figures due to the PR angle and the contest. It is a one time thing to do this. Otherwise, it is policy that all characters in MOTU are created by Mattel employees or freelancers etc...and owned by Mattel, end of story I hope. We don't ever get into individual creators etc... In the past I have alluded that occasionally fans can jump to conclusions. This is a textbook example and I hope this clears this up! ;-)
Furthermore, when I note that Illumina is wanted by a small but loud group, that in no way means I don't respect this group and want to find a way to get her in the line. I TOTALLY respect that for whatever reason (be it her look, her cat or her connection to Emiliano etc..,) fans do want her in the line. And that is awesome. So here is where some misunderstanding may have occurred.
I don't want to throw off the current polls (here or on the German sites) so I am a bit afraid to state this...but... I feel some behind the scenes info would help. Ready?...I created this poll (as a marketing tool and fan engagement device) with the idea that I could use it to try and find a way to get Illumina in the line!
You see; I know if I bring her to management as part of a "monthly slot" I'm going to get shot down. I'm sorry, but she is just too obscure and lacking an additional bonus of having a link to the vintage line. Honestly, no one but me wants to do her (trust me, I have pitched her so I know).
BUT: if she "happens" to win a fan choice... I suddenly have the ammo I need to get her into the line through management approvals!
MOTUC is not just "Scott Neitlich says!". Hardly at all. Yes I am a guiding force and I wrote the mini comic story and the overarching bio story but when it comes to individual figures and slots we still need to get approvals like every other line and work through the existing Mattel system (that word you all love called Logistics!).
But as brand manager it is also my job to deliver figures fans want. I hear you on Illumina, I really do. So you can see my issue. A figure fans want but one I know management will shoot down. I knew I needed a bigger WOW to get Illumina (or a character just as obscure and demanded) into the line for fans. So how do we do this: bang - we are doing a contest!
Granted in the end, the contest is for any "out of the way" character. This is your (the customer/fan's) chance to give a character that is otherwise a little bit obscure that extra "I won the fan's choice" hrummph that will let that character glide through approvals.
I want to do all I can to deliver fan demanded characters in the line. Outside of Carnivus, there really hasn't been anyone i pushed for that didn't also have fan demand (I hope!). I have to work within the Mattel "system" and believe me, that is a full time job on its own. Finding a way to give a character as obscure as Illumina (and not connected to the vintage line in some way) extra ZIP wasn't simple.
So in conclusion, I hope whomever fans want the most not only wins the website nominations but hopefully the subscriber vote off in July. Either way, this slot is yours to contribute to in order to get someone you really want into the line for sure! If it is Illumina, awesome. If someone else wins, awesome as well. Either way, fans win!
Hope this helps!
PS: Yes I did really vote for her!

Michael D. Cousino Sr. Vietnam War Dioramas Collection
Michael D. Cousino Sr. Vietnam War Dioramas Collection
Michael D. Cousino was born in Gouverneur, New York in 1947. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps' I Corps in Northern Vietnam from 1968 to '69, when he was wounded in battle. After his discharge from the service and stints in physical rehabilitation, Cousino lived in the southern U.S. for several years before returning to Northern New York in 1983. As a boy, Cousino dabbled in model-making and other crafts and in the mid 1980's he began making realistic three dimensional depictions of various experiences he and fellow Marines had in Vietnam using "found" materials and painstakingly making items from scratch. The work proved therapeutic, as Cousino struggled over the years to cope with his personal Vietnam experience. Gradually, Cousino began sharing his dioramas both with fellow Vietnam vets and later with the public. His artworks, now numbering over 200, were the subject of several museum exhibits, arts festivals, library displays and other public outlets, including the book Vietnam Remembered: The Folk Art of Marine Combat Veteran Michael D. Cousino Sr. by local folklorist Varick Chittenden (NK 8473.5.C68 C55 1995).
The collection consists of six dioramas using various materials, depicting scenes of torture, small scale battles, platoon patrols, soldiers at rest and the downing of a U.S. helicopter. Each diorama is enclosed in a custom-built wood and plastic box. Five of the six works are untitled. They represent some of the earlier works made by Mr. Cousino.
The collection was given as a gift of the artist in 1987.

One of the most rewarding things about putting on the Tiny House Conference is the amazing things that come out of it. I've met so many amazing people, have had a chance to see so many tiny houses and recently I learned that many people who came to the Tiny House Conference left inspired and started building! Today I wanted to show you two houses that were built by people who came and learned all about tiny houses at the conference!
The first house is built by Jody and Bill who came to the conference. Jody and Bill knew tiny houses were for them, but wanted to come to the Conference to learn all the details, see all of the tiny houses we had on site to tour and talk with our speakers who have built and lived in tiny houses themselves.
Here is the house Jody and Bill built:
The next attendee that built a house was Mark. He came to us all the way from Alaska! Soon after attending, he began building his tiny house which has been his cozy home ever since, even in the harsh winters of Alaska.
Here's his house:

written by Gavin Webber from The Greening of Gavin and Little Green Cheese.
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not;
but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for"-Epicurus, Greek Philosopher (341 BC - 270 BC)
Let me explain. Have you ever purchased something, something you really wanted, only to discover that it made the rest of your stuff seem a bit old and dated? Rather than accepting some variance in the style against your older possessions, have you then been tempted to upgrade your old and dated stuff? This is called the 'Diderot Effect', named after the French philosopher Denis Diderot (1713–84) who first described the effect in an essay titled "Regrets on Parting with My Old Dressing Gown". In this essay he describes how a gift of a brand new scarlet dressing gown leads to unexpected results, nearly making him bankrupt in the process.
How do you become bankrupt just by receiving a gift of a new, sleek and beautiful scarlet dressing gown (aka smoking jacket). Well the effect kind of tricks you like this. Have you ever bought nice new shirt, and thought that your old pants now look shabby against it? So you go and buy new pants to match, and shoes, and a handbag, and a belt, etc. You get the picture. The same can be said for putting a new piece of furniture into a room of existing pieces. Soon you are shopping at the mall or high street to buy new furniture and fittings to make the original purchase look at home probably to the detriment of your bank account.
The same thing happened to Diderot or so he wrote. He thought that his new robe looked so nice, that he thought that all the stuff in his apartment looked drab and ordinary against it. So he bought lots and lots of new and expensive stuff to spruce up his abode, with a big hit on his financial accounts. In the end he had this to say,
"I was absolute master of my old dressing gown, but I have become a slave to my new one … Beware of the contamination of sudden wealth. The poor man may take his ease without thinking of appearances, but the rich man is always under a strain."Between 2001 and 2006, I too was a victim to the Diderot Effect. I would buy a new stereo system, only to think not long afterwards that I needed a new media player or DVD player to go with it. The old one was in good working order so I was behaving irrationally. When I bought a new computer, I would also upgrade the display, even though the one I had was perfectly okay. Same goes with a lawn mower that I had, which just needed a little TLC, but I dumped it and bought a new one. My old petrol (gas) can was old and rusty, but still functional, but I bought a new one, and threw the other away with the old mower. Yes friends, I was wasteful as well.
These are just a few example of being sucked in by consumerism for consumerisms sake. Today I would call it the 'steak knife effect' after all of those infomercials that start off flogging you one product, but then throw in a whole bunch of other stuff (that you never wanted anyway) just to justify the deal in your mind!
It has taken me a few years since my green epiphany, and a lot of thought after reading a book by Clive Hamilton and Richard Denniss titled "Affluenzza - When Too Much is Never Enough", but I am no longer influenced by this effect or most advertising for that matter. I only replace what I need, when the old item is beyond repair, and only after I have gone without it for a few weeks to see if I can get by without it. Case in point, my clothes dryer that broke a few months back. You can read about how we adapted in the absence of this so called laundry necessisty on the post on my personal blog titled "Ditching the Clothes Dryer". This is a classic example of rethinking and changing my behaviours for the better.
My warning to you all is beware the Diderot Effect and get off the consumerist treadmill which will help you stop the upward creep of material desire. Knowing how much is enough is a powerful skill to possess in this, the age of rampant consumerism. Despite what advertisements tell us, stuff just doesn't satisfy our desire for meaning, and it is a very poor substitute for your sense of self worth within a manipulative and demeaning society. I don't mean to sound preachy, but it feels to me that consumerism in western society is totally out of control for all the wrong reasons.
So to sum it all up, Treasure What You Have. It will save your bank balance, and might just save a few resources in this ever declining, resource strapped, finite planet of ours.
Have you succumbed to this effect and regretted it later on? How did it make you feel?
