A week after winning their flights at the Brown Invitational, Joseph Dube (Livonia, Mich.) and Billy Bishop (Houston, Texas) continued their blistering starts to the season with two wins on Friday. Dube beat opponents from Fairfield and Army, only dropping two games the entire day, in move into the final four of Flight "F". Bishop had to come from behind in the Round of 16 of Flight "G" to defeat his foe from St. Francis 4-6, 6-2, 12-10. He then took care of his adversary from Yale 6-3, 6-1.

|Everett Spruill — Chitlin Circuit
What is your idea of a food fight? Do you picture something playful, maybe like the food-flinging in sitcoms and movies? What if I told you that some people have fought over food and not lived to tell about it?
John T. Edge was the Guest Editor of the Spring 2005 Southern Food Issue of Oxford American. John is a regular contributor and he is the author of Fried Chicken: An American Story and Apple Pie: An American Story. It was natural that he would head this food themed project.
In his editorial notes, John mentioned a November 4, 2000 front-page story in the Alabama Register: COUSINS IN AX FIGHT OVER CORNBREAD. Connie Baggett reported the heated dispute between cousins — Henry Peters and Tracy Randolph — and how their conversation about "cornbread, jelly, and chitterlings" went awry.
The argument — details of which were unclear — grew heated, and Rudolph left the room, went to a woodpile outside, and returned with a bush ax. (Bush axes have broad, crescent-shaped blades attached to long wooden handles, and are typically used to clear brush from fencerows.) Rudolph apparently attacked Peters, chopping him with the farming tool in the neck. Peters then took the ax, struck Rudolph in the face, and fled from the house to his car, taking the ax with him.
Peters wrecked his car about 12 miles away, near the hospital in Evergreen, then ran to the emergency room. Rudolph arrived at the hospital by ambulance soon after, and was treated for a severe facial wound. Meanwhile, officers arrived on the scene of Peters' wreck, found the bloody ax, and followed Peters' trail to the emergency room.
Conecuh County Chief Deputy James Taylor said both men appeared to have been drinking, and neither would cooperate with police or sign warrants against each other. "The doctors had to clamp off severed arteries in Peters' neck and in Rudolph's head," Taylor said. "They'll probably be laughing about it next week."
John also referenced other situations. One man tried to assault a restaurant owner with a chair because his tea was served unsweetened, while another gentleman was fatally shot based on the strong opinions he had about sweet-potato pie. Apparently, runny grits, dry pork chops, or turnip greens sprinkled with sugar are also cause for murder. John wrote, "And any folklorist worth his salt can cite the meter and verse of early-twentieth-century Appalachian murder ballads that pivot on the swing of a cast-iron skillet."
These are extreme cases, but they do expose underlying truths. Food culture is territorial and often has it's genesis in lack, not social station. In the old South, the well-to-do had surplus and help, whereas the impoverished had only themselves and imagination. The kitchen was a refuge, a gathering place, a haven for exploration. Food spoke to the soul and defined families. Hence, an argument over food could be very personal.
So much of Southern history is blood spattered, violent, divisive; our food is an antidote, a balm, a diversion. It calls us to the table and invites us to linger and share, to sup and be restored. It may well be our most reconciling force.
-John Egerton, Oxford American
I have always looked at food squabbles as either playful or in terms of fairness and portion control. Earnest disputes had more to do with deprivation, not preparation. Yet, we all have emotional connections to food. It seems like food roots run deeper in the South. Very deep.

Dinan Performance Engine Software/boost files Backup
I was wondering if there is a method to backup dinan tune files via E-sys and reload them when the dealer (for what ever reason) re-flashes all your ECUs? I know that we always can go back to a dinan dealer for reflash but it would be nice if we can do it ourselves!
Here is a staring point: On Dinan flash report it seems that the Dinan software is accessing the following files in DME (ECU):
Programmed Control Unit: SWFL_00000652_209_002_003
Basic Control Unit: SWFL_0000065B_209_002_001
I have also noticed that both of the above units are found on my computer under this directory:
They are present in 3 different extensions: .bin, .bsw and .xml
I attempted accessing those files through different Editors and Viewers in E-sys so I can read them and save a copy of them with no success. Would saving a copy of those files in a safe place to use them after a dealer reflash work? and if so, is there a special way to re-insert them to the vehicle via E-Sys? Are there other files involved in the dinan tune other than those? or am I simply missing the boat and these questions are not doable through E-sys?.
P.S. I have Stage 3 Dinan tune and I'm using E-sys 3.18.4/PSDZ V47.5

Seneca County Sheriff Jack Stenberg, Waterloo Police Chief Doyle Marquart, Seneca FallsPolice Chief Stuart Peenstra, New York State Police Troop E Major Mark Koss andInterlaken Police Sgt.,OIC Leon Anderson announced today that Seneca County policeagencies will participate in a special enforcement effort to crackdown on impaired driving.
The statewide STOP-DWI Crackdown efforts start on February 1st and will end on February4th. Super Bowl Weekend is historically a deadly period for impaired driving. Sheriff'sDeputies, Troopers, and local police across the state will be out in force to reduce the numberof alcohol related injuries and deaths.
The STOP-DWI Super Bowl Weekend Crackdown is one of many statewide enforcementinitiatives promoted by the New York State STOP-DWI Association. The Statewide STOPDWICrackdown Campaign also targets St. Patrick's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July andLabor Day Weekend, Halloween and the national Holiday Season in December. These effortsare supported with funding from both the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee and theNational Highway Traffic Safety Institute.
Seneca County STOP-DWI Coordinator, Undersheriff Gary Sullivan, offered the followingtips for the upcoming Super Bowl Weekend.
If you're attending a Super Bowl party or watching the game at a sports bar orrestaurant:- Designate your sober driver before the party begins.
-Avoid drinking too much alcohol too fast. Pace yourself. Eat plenty of food, takebreaks, and alternate with non-alcoholic drinks.
-If you don't have a designated driver, ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab,friend, or family member to come and get you; or if possible stay where you are for thenight and don't drive until you are sober.
-Never let friends drive drunk. Arrange a safe way for them to get home.
- Always buckle up. It's still your best defense against other drunk drivers.If you're hosting a Super Bowl party:
-Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers in advance, or help arrangeride-sharing with sober drivers.
-Serve plenty of food and non-alcoholic beverages at the party.-
Host your party just like they do at the stadium. Stop serving alcohol at the end of thethird quarter of the game. The fourth quarter is perfect for serving coffee and dessert.
- Keep the phone numbers of local cab companies on hand and take the keys away fromanyone who is thinking of driving drunk.
-Remember, you can be held liable and prosecuted if someone you served ends up in adrunk-driving crash.? If an underage person drinks and drives, the parent may be legally liable for anydamage, injury or death caused by the underage driver.
-Likewise, parents or other adults who provide alcohol to, or host a party where alcoholis available to, those under age 21 could face jail time.
While STOP-DWI efforts across New York have led to significant reductions in the numbersof alcohol and drug related fatalities, still too many lives are being lost because of crashescaused by drunk or impaired drivers. Highly visible, highly publicized efforts like the STOPDWICrackdown Campaign aim to further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaireddriving.

China's twins celebrate double fun of siblings
By Maxim Duncan
BEIJING (Reuters) - Hundreds of Chinese twins and triplets flocked to Beijing this week for a festival to celebrate multiple births in a country where the one child policy means siblings are a rare blessing for many young urbanites.
Dressed in matching outfits, trios and matching couples ranging from babies to grandmas danced, sang, did calligraphy and joined in a huge domino rally.
In some countries parents may fear the simultaneous arrival of multiple children, but in China they are lucky exceptions to strict family planning rules that limit many couples to one son or daughter unless both parents are themselves only children.
Introduced in the late 1970s, the one child policy forbids most urban residents from having a second child, although rules are more relaxed for ethnic minorities and rural residents whose first child is a girl.
But the desire to have a second child is such that some have turned to fertility drugs to try and beat the system.
Having twins means children grow up with a companion and gives parents the prospect of a more comfortable old age, as in a country with weak social security nets, children are often the main source of support for their aging mother and father.
State run Xinhua News agency quoted local media from several regions in China as saying that the birth rate of twins recorded in several hospitals had risen in recent years.
One Nanjing paper said a local hospital had seen 100 pairs of twins and 3 sets of triplets in 2006 as compared with just 45 pairs of twins in 1995, a phenomenon doctors there put down to fertility drugs. Continued...

Oregon has choices. So does Portland. But the real question is not whether those choices will be made, but when will they be offered?
Last week's bridge collapse during a Minneapolis rush hour underscores the requirement for Oregon and the Portland area to choose to invest in highways and bridges before - not after - a crisis occurs here.
People should not die, the economy should not falter and livability should not suffer because Oregon's leaders fail to present the opportunity to make the state's infrastructure, including highways and bridges, safer from the mounting danger of decay and congestion.
Unfortunately in America, leadership and investment all too sadly follow tragedy and crisis.
The examples are many and graphic. National security was greatly heightened following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Federal emergency response and deteriorating levees became an issue after Hurricane Katrina. Investments in alternative fuels are increasing, but are doing so in the face of advancing global warming.
Safety and security endangered
Oregon, like many states, is at increased infrastructure risk due to its failure to invest, even while the pressures of population growth and the economy continue to mount.
Last week's tragedy in Minneapolis may have occurred even if that state had invested in roads, highways and bridges. We may never know. But we do know that in the last two years, the governor of Minnesota three times had rejected legislation to spend money on infrastructure, including two proposed increases in the state gas tax.
Minnesota's infrastructure needs may be worse than this state's. But while Oregonians should care about the safety of others, their primary interest should be about their own safety, the security of the local economy and livability.
It is estimated that deferred maintenance required on the Multnomah County bridges crossing the Willamette River totals $325 million. What's really scary is that there is no financial or leadership plans whatsoever to deal with the backlog - including the $230 million (or more) replacement of the weight-restricted Sellwood Bridge.
Oregon must act sooner
In Portland, Commissioner Sam Adams, who is a champion of infrastructure investment, says the city's unmet transportation needs total $422 million and mounts each year.
Adams has been meeting with citizens, businesses and neighborhood groups to discuss ideas to improve funding of city streets and bridges, but it is unclear whether the City Council will go along with any idea.
Meanwhile, Metro is examining the possibility of a regional transportation funding measure, but initial indications show that such a concept holds scant promise.
Statewide, the Oregon Legislature and Gov. Ted Kulongoski chose not to consider funding for roads and highways to be a priority of the 2007 legislative session, but have vowed future action.
While such indications of leadership are appreciated, Oregon hasn't increased its gas tax since 1993. That means there has been inadequate money to improve highway infrastructure in a comprehensive way.
And even if the 2009 Legislature acts, it won't be until 2010 or 2011 before new dollars begin flowing to address old needs.
How long can Oregon wait for leadership and the opportunity to choose to invest in safety and infrastructure for its economy and livability? No longer.
Certainly not until after a tragedy strikes, as it did last week in Minneapolis.

He need not be an expert at scoutcraft; a good scout master will discover experts for the various activities.
In short, to be a good scout is to be a well-developed, well-informed boy.
I give them some cigarettes—all I had; and they said I was a good scout, like enough.
If he had not been he would never have developed into a good scout Master.
But the major's a good scout, just the same, and I don't mean to throw him without making a stab.
Westy's a mighty nice fellow, you bet, and he's a good scout.
She always keeps her head in emergencies, like the good scout that she is.
For that, credit must be given to the good scout Solomon Binkus.
To be a good scout one must remain cheerful under every circumstance, bearing both fortune and misfortune with a smile.
He had the making of a good scout only for those faults which other boys derided as silly and girlish.

Charice: I'm a Lesbian
By JACKIE WILLIS
June 03, 2013
Filipino singer Charice, who first popped up on the American music scene when she was discovered by Oprah Winfrey, revealed in an interview with Boy Abunda on The Buzz that she is in fact a lesbian.
When asked about her sexual orientation, the 21-year-singer responded, "Opo, tomboy po ako." This translates to, "Yes, I am a homosexual."

Charice also admitted that she is currently estranged from her family and apologized to those who can't accept her sexuality. "But to those who can accept me, thank you very much," she said. "We are all equal, whether you are gay or straight."
As mentioned, Oprah made Charice a household name which led to the singer starring on Glee as Sunshine Corazon. Check out one the singer's show-stopping performances for Oprah, below:

What's minimum garage concrete slab thickness in Colorado?
Trying to find out the minimum thickness and density that's poured for attached garage concrete slabs here in Colorado. Looking to move into a new home and the two-post lift requires at least 4" of 3000psi concrete or better. I found some published code for detached garages that say minimum of 3.5". I would get in there and drill the floor to find out, but, it's not mine, yet.

Re: What's minimum garage concrete slab thickness in Colorado?
Putting in a hoist? Do NOT assume this or that about the existing concrete!
Dig out a proper footing pad to proper depth and pour the proper strength of concrete. Last thing you need is a two post lift ripping out of weak thin concrete! Two post lifts scare me just a little anyway but why risk a potentially lethal accident over a few yards of concrete and a few days of hard work?
Builders do not usually put in more than is needed, often the opposite is true. They will put in as little as they can get by with.
Inspections and inspectors are a joke, don't count on their eyes or their official reports for much if any help.
The saying around these parts is that inspectors are contractors who couldn't make it, as a result the are angry and going to make darn sure that you can't make it either!

Re: What's minimum garage concrete slab thickness in Colorado?
To properly measure for your car lift, remember to take into account any obstructions like overhead garage door openers. If you have any questions on which lift will work best for you, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 800-736-9308.
Two and four post lifts have specific concrete requirements. Lifts with a larger foot print, like the storage lifts, do not have requirements on concrete.
Car Lift Concrete Specifications
7,000-10,000lb Two Post Car Lift 4" min. 3000 PSI concrete
12,000-18,000lb Two Post Car Lift 6" min. 3000 PSI concrete
7,000-40,000lb Four Post Car Lift 4" min. 3000 PSI concrete
Storage lifts and lifts with larger footprints do not have specific concrete requirements.
If you are unsure of the thickness and PSI of your concrete and want to install a 2 or 4 post lift you should pour concrete pads. The basic rule is that you need the pads to be 12" wider on each side from the base plates of the lift. For a 2 post, you'll need to go down at least 2 feet. For a 4 post, you'll need to go down at least 6" New concretea also must also cure at least 28 days before installing your car lift.

Re: What's minimum garage concrete slab thickness in Colorado?
3.5 would be correct if Colorado follows the IRC which I would imagine they do. That being said this means nothing. Concrete thickness is usually determined by local soil bearing conditions. As a matter fact I've seen lots and lots of prints and never seen a floor that thin here in NJ.
Were it me I would head to the local building department and see if there is a print on file. This is all a matter of public record and they should give you no grief.
What you want to see is what the architect specified for the floor, that is what should be built in the field. The contractor can't substitute a 3.5" floor if the print called for a 5" floor just because it meets code. The building inspectors job is to make sure that what is on the approved print is what is built in the field.
All that being said the inspector wasn't there when the slab was poured. He inspected the slab prior to the pour to make sure the base, vapor barrier, any metal etc. was present. There is no guarantee that the mason poured the required thickness and I'm sure that if you check different spots in the floor the number will change, nature of the beast.

Re: What's minimum garage concrete slab thickness in Colorado?
I live in Colorado, so hello to fellow COlorado resident. My recently poured garage floor for a detached garage was pretty much 3.5" on the money. I am putting a two post lift in my garage and had to pour new concrete footings (4' x 4' x 12" with 4000 PSI concrete). I could not get the mechanical wedge anchors to set in my concrete. The best way to tell depth is to either take a core sample or drill a hole/measure depth.

You beat me to it. Take a core sample or just go straight to new footings.

That's scary. Maybe you could try this
This is a discussion on can't trust anybody these days within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; on monday evening, while i was at work, three individuals come in the store looking at the fish. one was a BIG guy, probably 6'-6" ...
on monday evening, while i was at work, three individuals come in the store looking at the fish. one was a BIG guy, probably 6'-6" 300+ lbs, one was an equally tall but skinny guy, and the third was a woman. all appeared to be in their mid 20's. they milled around for a while, and then the big guy started asking my a lot of questions about our fish selection (i work at an aquarium/dog food store), leading me toward the back of the store. i started talking to him, and he got more and more excited and interested--meanwhile the skinny guy was talking to the owner's wife (the only other employee at the store at the time) and the girl was browsing around. then the skinny guy kept trying to get the big guys attention, but the big guy kept telling him to leave him alone he was busy. the big guy then thanked me for my time and information, and told the others they were leaving. the walked on down the strip.
when i got to work this morning, my boss informed me that the trio had eaten dinner at wingzone down the strip, and then robbed the store next to us. apparently the big guy led the our neighbor and his coworker toward the back and then told them to stay put while the other 2 cleared out the cash register, no weapons were used.
i will now be investing in quality pepper spray and a spring-loaded baton, since i would not have been able to legally shoot or even draw on the individuals had they decided to use their technique on our store--and i wouldn't stand a chance against the big guy hand to hand.
That's scary. Maybe you could try this
Glock 27
Do you any theories for why they chose your neighbor's? Did the big guy sense you were alert to their casing? Or did the little ones get some such signal from the owner? Did they perhaps decide there wasn't enough cash at your store?
and they robbed our neighbors after we were closed, so they could have just been waiting a little later.
just my $.01911
I would think that if your boss leaves you in charge of the store you would have the right to protect it. You would be lucky though if you employeer paid for your lawyer........you had better check the laws in your state before listening to me.......

Just because they did not display a weapon when they robbed the other store does not mean they were unarmed. Once they make their intent known that a robbery is taking place they have put my life in danger and I will respond to that threat.
also true. but being the type of person i am, it still pains me to think about killing a seemingly unarmed individual. although i'm sure that if i pulled a gun in this situation, they would have run if they themselves were not armed, and in which case they were armed i would have been justified in shooting them, and had the upper hand having drawn my weapon first.Originally Posted by archer51
we were already robbed at gun point last year, and while i was interested in concealed carry before i know am dead set on it and will be spending several hundred dollars of my $9/hour paycheck on the firearm and associated gear.
i'm starting to hope we get robbed by a white guy next time, because there is a certain pattern in the race of local robbers that is causing me to be unsettlingly prejudiced when sizing up strangers that enter the store, if you know what i mean. i don't like thinking that way, but most white guys that come in the store are either in suits, friendly regulars, or so underdressed they would have to hide a gun up their *** if they wanted to sneak one in.
Just because they didn't display a weapon, doesn't mean they didn't have one concealed. Consider the recent case in Chicago at a Lane Bryant store - a common robbery gone bad...
Five women dead in Tinley Park clothing store shooting :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State
Here in FL deadly force is justified if one is preventing a forceable felony such as a robbery.

I would use caution with a baton. Unless you know what you're doing & have had some kind of training & if the guy is THAT big it might be ineffective. In fact, it might just **** him off. Maybe some LEO's can chime in here.
I would make sure to carry when you get your CCW permit. Pepper spray would be a good idea too. Do not be a victim.
Also check you laws regarding collapsible batons... In some states, it's illegal unless you are law enforcement.
What is legal in all 50 states is a 5, 6 or 7 cell maglight. Since it's a flashlight, it is not considered a club or bludgeon in and of itself.
An ASP baton used by a civilian in some states will get you in trouble whether you were warranted to defend yourself or not.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
When you get that .40 get some good Cor-Bon ammo, that will knock that Big Guy down.....

Kitchen installers removed some drywall
I want to know if I have a problem here or not. The situation is that our kitchen installers came and installed the kitchen this weekend. It turns out that one of the cases was 1/4" out of square. This is a corner cabinet, so you don't visually see it. But it meant they removed a portion of the drywall behind the cabinet to make it fit properly with everything else.
So, behind the cabinet now, there is about 3 feet x counter height section where we only have the vapor barrier (which was taped well with tuck tape, so there is no airflow across the barrier).
Is this a long term problem? will I run into moisture problems or anything like that? Should I ask them to replace the case?
You'll be absolutely fine. There is nothing wrong with what they did. That is an old cabinet installation trick, to get pre-made units to fit, under certain circumstances.
There are many, many houses with built-in shelves and cabinetry just like that.
It's all set.
No worries.
As long as there isn't air flow you should be fine
My last house had poor insulation behind the cabinets
So I took the shhetrock down, insulated & sealed
One corner I had to do the same thing - old house
4 Attachment(s)
without the drywall there is - ever so slightly - more risk that if the cabinet shifts during an earthquake it will put a tear in the exposed vapour barier so that after 100 years you might get some minor mold on the insulation (exterior side only).
otherwise, you're totally fine.
ps. if it wasn't obvious, my post was an exaggeration; you're totally fine.
Ok thanks for the feedback.
Knucklez: they say they might cure aging in our lifetime, so that 100 years for mold issue might come back to haunt me! :laughing:
Do you guys think blowing some spray insulation up behind there would be overkill?
4 Attachment(s)
i guess my post was really only half joking. what i described actually happened to my house. this is what my pink insulation looked like when i pulled it away from the cavity during renovation last year.
And that is because there was a tear in your vapor barrier?

Pros: Initially super quick response, detailed quote and gives you lots of information on the timeline needed.
Cons: After payment was received, payment dropped away. Thought maybe she was just busy so left it. Once late June arrived and no contact (with the original agreement being that it would be here "by July") sent off an email asking how it was going and received no reply. Have also sent off another email asking for details as to whether or not it would be finished so as I could make other arrangements and still no reply. According to her myspace she's been online and active. When I got the wig finally in September 2007 the odango awful and the wig was bad looking so I sent it back for a refund. I have emailed the wig maker once a month since September 2007 and every reply "Ok next week you will receive the new improved wig." Nothing for three years. $180 that I pulled out of my ass, Thanks KawaiiWigs ^_^

Ever wonder what happened to Avis's "We're No. 2" campaign?
I always assumed Avis foolishly dropped it out of boredom. Some brand manager wanted to put his "mark" on things and foolishly killed the goose that was laying golden eggs. But that's not nearly as interesting as what really happened…
See, a few years after Avis and Doyle Dane Bernbach launched their legendary campaign, Hertz (aka No. 1) got nervous about how quickly Avis was gobbling up their market share. So Hertz got wise and hired the other legendary creative agency of the day: Ally & Gargano.
And here's the counter-campaign that Carl Ally created for Hertz:
Hertz basically took that "No. 2" position and rammed it right up Avis's arse, detailing point by point what customers give up when they rent cars from the smaller company: locations, car selection, guaranteed performance, customer support infrastructure, etc. And you gotta love that ending line: "No. 2 says he tries harder. Than who?"
That counter-campaign went for the throat. And the results show that it worked:
To the right you'll see a snapshot from a leaf of a new book on Ally & Gargano. You can find a digital version of the entire page here. But the important points to note are:
1) "After only 90 days from the start [of the campaign], Avis abandoned their extremely successful campaign and quickly created advertising with no references to Hertz, Trying Harder, or being Number 2."
2) From the launch of the campaign at the tail-end of 1966, Avis's market share flat-lined and Hertz maintained their position as the leader in the industry (which wouldn't have happened had the earlier trends continued on for another 2 years).
And that's what happened to the famed "We're Number 2" advertising campaign.
So what are the lessons to take away from this?
First, I think Avis wimped out on this one. If they were vulnerable on their branding, it was because they weren't factually living up to their "We Try Harder" claim. But even then, they could have re-vamped their customer experience and fought back rather than voluntarily surrendering the one campaign that was actually working for them.
Before the Avis campaign was launched in 1963, Bill Bernbach insisted that Avis revamp their fleet and actually improve the customer experience so that he had a "better reality" to advertise. If Avis was really serious about keeping the campaign — and they should have been — why didn't they make another revamp and show exactly how they "tried harder" than Hertz
Second, you simply can't afford to ignore great advertising. If a competitor has launched an immensely successful ad campaign that resonates with the public and that's driving increased market share, you must respond. And the only way to do that is with great advertising of your own.
Third, counter branding works both ways. Ries and Trout famously advised challenger brands to "find the weakness in your competitor's strength" and that's exactly what Avis did with their "No. 2" campaign. But "Marketing is often a battle for legitimacy. The first brand that captures that concept is often able to portray it's competitors as illegitimate pretenders."* And that's how Hertz countered Avis's counter branding — by recasting Avis as an illegitimate pretenders to the "customer service" throne.
At least, those are my takeaways. I'd be thrilled to read yours in the comments…
* Quote taken from The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing
Linda Mattacks on 11.09.2011
I guess this is one where the truth is stranger than fiction 😉
There was another advertising campaign from the '60s worth a mention here I believe. It wasn't between competitors but nevertheless shows the power of advertising. It majored on TV in the UK and it was to promote a cigarette. As I recall (this may not be 100% accurate but close enough for our purposes) it featured a guy walking along the street (he may have been crossing a bridge) on his own, smoking a cigarette, on a grey murky night. Black and white TV in those days. Very atmospheric. The tag line was: You're never alone with a Strand.
Now, the ad was very memorable but sales of the cigarette were diabolically low. The ad was pulled and so was the brand. A few months later a new one came on the market: Embassy cigarettes were advertised on TV and showed a good looking guy at a party. He was smoking an Embassy cigarette and was popular with the ladies and other guy, too. Sales of the cigarette rocketed.
It was the same cigarette of course, just positioned completely differently.
I think you're spot on regarding the moral of your tale, Jeff. If Avis had truly had the courage of their convictions and were delivering on their claims they could have produced a counter attack of David v Goliath proportions and got the American public behind them… 🙂
Grimey on 11.09.2011
If the ad campaign tanked in 90 day why are we still talking about it almost 50 years later?
Jeff on 11.09.2011
I think you misunderstand. The ad campaign didn't tank in 90 days. Here's a bit of clarification:
There are 2 campaigns under discussion:
The first campaign is Avis's famous "We're No. 2 — We Try Harder" campaign created by DDBO for Avis back in 1963. This campaign was a huge success and, as you can see if you look back at the chart, steadily gained Avis 7 points of market share from '63 to '66, while sliding Hertz's market share down by 11 points. This was a huge remarkable success, which is why we are talking about it still today. In fact, it was so successful, that had it continued to run unopposed, Hertz had every reason to believe that Avis would stop being #2 by 1968.
2) The second campaign was Hertz's counter-branding campaign created by Ally & Gargano in November of 1966 (practically 1967 for all intents and purposes). This campaign so utterly demolished the persuasive power of "We're number 2; we try harder" that, within 90 days of Hertz launching the campaign, Avis pulled their existing "we try harder" advertising. So within 3 months of launching the counter campaign, Hertz was effectively able to "force" Avis to kill their legendary campaign.
My point is simply that while most everyone in the Advertising or Copywriting world knows about the famous Avis campaign, almost no one knows about the Ally & Gargano counter-campaign. It's "the rest of the story" that needs to be told, and that should be studied by any serious student of advertising and marketing.

Thanks for the comments, Linda. Interesting stuff about Strand and Embassy cigs. Same thing here in America: before Marlbaro became THE manly, man's cigarette of choice, it was initially marketed to women, as most filtered cigarette's where back in those days. Take the same cig and repackage it in a brand new box and advertise it with "The Marlboro Man" and you get huge, record smashing success. Leo Burnett was a genius.
But yeah, as for Avis, they really should have stuck with a winner. The problem was that they didn't keep up the efforts to ensure the reality matched the advertising promise.

POWELL, Ohio The Tennessee team of Erica Popson and AJ Newell captured the championship of the Pure Silk Women's Collegiate Team Championship on Thursday. Popson and Newell finished 2-under par overall after shooting even-par on the final day.
Popson and Newell finished with a score of 144 to capture the third round of at Wedgewood Golf & Country Club in Powell, OH. Newell capped her three-under par 69 in dramatic fashion by holing a 130 yard third shot on the par five 18 th for eagle. Newell and Popson's six combined birdies and eagle were enough to win by one shot over the team of Meredith Swanson and Samantha Swinehart of the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Swanson made birdie on 18 to move the team within a shot but
Swinehart only managed par to miss a playoff by one shot. Tied for third place were the
teams of Amy Meier and Rachel Rohanna of The Ohio State University and Kristi Cardwell
and Shelby Phillips of the University of Iowa, both finishing two shots off the pace.

The last time I encountered the Deputy Prime Minister, he was in rapt conversation with my Yorkshire-bred husband on the glories of Sheffield, where Nick Clegg has his constituency. Both men, however, choose to spend most of their time in London. If you want to climb the ladder, you need to be here. London is the centre for finance, commerce, politics, culture, fashion, media and sport. Every day, Evening Standard reporters tumble out of the office and find the world on their doorstep.
Yesterday I walked in spring sunshine — even the weather is first here — to the Burberry show in Kensington Gardens. My invitation was a quirky stand-up card with a cut-out of the London skyline (not including the Shard). The creative power behind Burberry, Christopher Bailey, is another sworn Yorkshireman who has been crowned in London.
It is disingenuous of Clegg to talk of London "emasculating" the rest of the UK economy. Success is a magnet. Cities cannot be excused from the market rule of good, better, best. Globalism is pure competition. The Indian and Chinese visitors being wooed by the Prime Minister want our most famous and illustrious schools and universities, our museums, our most beautiful houses and Shakespeare. It is no good complaining that Shakespeare has emasculated all his contemporaries and insisting that everyone should read Thomas Middleton instead.
In the name of fairness, excellence is destroyed. It is what happened to the grammar schools. A better way is to look at the constituent parts of excellence and try to emulate them.
The greatness of London lies in its optimism and work ethic. In times of adversity it does not accept defeat. The survival instinct of the City, despite the boa constrictor threats from the EU, is bracing. But the arts in London are just as entrepreneurial and tough and inventive. London has used its natural advantages — a time zone, a rule of law, the English language — but added to them, continually. It is an old city that doesn't feel stuffy. It has tradition but is not bound by it. Above all, it is a city of acquisition.
Later this week, the Evening Standard is holding a party with the British Museum to celebrate the extraordinary treasures which the races and nations of the world have brought to London. The museum's director, Neil MacGregor, has been out in India with the Prime Minister, so we shall see what else his eye has alighted upon. What MacGregor has taught us all is that the rest of the world is not a threat but a fabulous opportunity. Art has no borders. Introducing the Ice Age exhibition at the BM recently, MacGregor described it as a rebuff to Ukip.
Nick Clegg is wrong. This is no time to slow down in the global race. London is a world city. That is why we are witnessing a golden age.
No Today, existential tomorrows
Like dawn without birdsong, there was no Today programme yesterday and no Newsnight either. To fill in the late hours I watched Brian Cox followed by Beasts of the Southern Wild. The BBC strike yesterday followed the falling of meteorites and asteroids. What the union unwittingly revealed was the essential meaninglessness of transient news.
Princesses are not made to writers' orders
Booker Prize winner Hilary Mantel calls the Duchess of Cambridge a "machine-made" princess and a personality-free "shop window mannequin" in an essay in the London Review of Books. The context, oddly, is an examination of our cruel curiosity toward the monarchy.
As with other academic authors such as Monica Ali and Camille Paglia, Mantel's real interest is Princess Diana. She fits the bill because of her complex personality and tragic end. Catherine Middleton was not "designed by committee" but chosen by a husband who had his fill of tragedy. Catherine's best hope is her equable nature. She may not suit casually savage writers but she has a safer future than Anne Boleyn's.
A new role for older women
How curious now to remember the fuss about the lack of older women on television. It all feels so pre-MB (Mary Beard, the professor, and Mary Berry, the TV baker). The trouble was older women were being judged by the same measurement as young ones. Naturally they were found wanting on radiance and innocence.
But post-MB, it feels different. Classics pin-up Mary Beard has identified a strength in advancing age. It is a waning desire to please (see Hilary Mantel above). Those of us who have tried to recruit women into public speaking have seen most recoil from the scrutiny and rage that women in public can invoke. Beard says it is a duty for thicker-skinned older women to do battle.
The older generation of women have not done nearly enough to encourage younger ones. The least they can do is show there is nothing to fear from public judgment but fear itself.

The threat, which will electrify the debate in the run-up to the promised referendum on the single currency, will be highlighted in a report by City investment bankers Goldman Sachs on Wednesday.
News of the report emerged as former Labour Foreign Secretary Lord Owen warned that Tony Blair could lose his job if he fails to secure a yes vote in the referendum. He said the Prime Minister would be 'destroyed' if he called a referendum and lost. The peer - who opposes UK membership of the euro - said Blair risked losing his 'personal authority'. 'You cannot go to the country on a major issue as Prime Minister and be defeated and then expect to carry on in the same way,' said Lord Owen.
The report by Goldman Sachs will say that Labour will have to raise taxes by around £8bn a year. But, as the Government has ruled out income tax rises, the increase would probably have to be imposed in the form of another 1% on National Insurance or 2% on VAT.
The report will argue that the tax rise is inevitable because, to live comfortably with the euro, Britain must get its interest rates, currently 4%, down to the 3.25% of euroland. Unfortunately, the gap between them is likely to widen in the coming months.
At the same time, the experts say sterling is overvalued and will need to fall in value by 10% or more before entry. If it does not, many of our exporters will be at risk of going bust. But cutting interest rates and forcing down the pound will send inflation rocketing. To counter this, according to Goldman Sachs, Gordon Brown will either have to raise taxes - or take an axe to his plans to raise NHS spending, which would be politically impossible.
The bankers are expected to say that £8bn in tax increases, equal to 3p on the basic rate of income tax, are therefore inevitable. Treasury-Ministers fear the bill could be even higher as Brussels is muttering that Brown's high-spending April Budget breached the EU stability and growth pact. Once Britain is in the single currency, eurocrats could force Brown to impose extra tax rises of up to £15bn to cover spending he has announced.
There is yet another threat to Middle England from euro membership. The lower interest rates - and mortgage rates - resulting from membership are likely to fuel a renewed house-buying spree. Rising property prices would then fuel inflation. The Treasury would be forced to use the only weapon at its disposal - higher housing taxes - to cool the market.
A report by the No campaign, UK Mortgages and the Euro, written by Graeme Leach of the Institute of Directors, highlights this. Unlike Britain, most euroland countries impose VAT on homes. In France, the rate is 18.6%. The rest of Europe also has higher transaction taxes than British stamp duty. Finally, some European countries also levy capital gains taxes on the sale of homes, which is not the case, for primary residences, in Britain. With a high proportion of homeowners, Britain would suffer disproportionately if the European Central Bank started demanding a big increase in housing taxes.
Senior Tories seized on the revelations. Shadow Treasury Secretary John Bercow said: 'We're in for another great dollop of stealth taxes. Mr Brown will forever be known as grasping Gordon.'

First Pitch: Looking at the Bigger Picture
First Pitch
Earlier today, Grant Brisbee of SB Nation wrote about "the perfectly whelming offseason of the Pirates". As the title indicates, the article talks about how the Pirates haven't done much this off-season, with their key additions being Russell Martin and Francisco Liriano. Or, as Brisbee puts it, "an average catcher and a pitcher with a CGI creation for a shoulder".
Before taking the route that most people will probably take when grading the off-season, Brisbee turns in a different direction. He points out that last trade deadline, when the Pirates were "buyers" and "contenders" at the deadline, they added pieces that could help in 2013. Basically, they started their off-season shopping early when they added Wandy Rodriguez and Travis Snider, and called up Starling Marte, which is a poin...

The Allophyl, also known as the "Fisherman", is one of the strangest native animals on Calypso. It's extremely tall, but despite this size, its body is very light, allowing its long and slender legs to support its own weight. The Allophyl is a marine animal and lives near the waterside were it primarily feeds on fish and other water animals. Its hunting technique varies from searching the sea bottom to catching free-swimming prey in the water, but its method remains the same. It uses sensitive electrodes on its tentacles to locate the prey, which it then stuns it with an electric charge released into the water between its two slender tentacle arms.The flying Igni insects are sometimes seen hovering around these majestic animals, hoping to extract some of the residue energy from the electric charges that are released while the Allophyl is hunting.
On Eudoria, the best known hunting spot for this mob is probably south of Limnadian District. This is a dense spawn with maturities young to dominant. The spawn is mixed with Estophyl. Other places this mob can be found on Eudoria is north of Limnadian District and west of Camp Caravan. Both places are mixed with Igni which most hunters experience as annoying. A less popular place is south of Fort Troy, where they are mixed with Feffoid (Calypso).
In the Medusa's Head Archipelago, the island to the East of the Medusa Teleporter, Bakunawa Island, has low densities of maturities from Young to Stalker on the sandy beaches. On some of the beaches, Allophyl are also mixed with low densities of high maturity Itumatrox (Calypso).
On Amethera there are a couple good spots to hunt these creatures. First there are the land areas: Amethera Outback Land #26 and Amethera Outback Land #12 which often offer higher maturities. For tax-free areas, south west of Bilton is a great spot for young Allophyl. Also west and east of Rei's Defense are good spots. The maturities there are between young and alpha. Other places are north of Shinook Jungle and east of the Thorifoid Shaman temple. Finally there is a spawn northwest of Omegaton West Habit. This spawn is mixed with Tezlapod, which conveniently also do electric damage.
Allophyl - From the Greek "Allos" means "another, other, otherwise". "Philos" is "a friend , a companion". So it's just another friend? (see Estophyl)
Alternately, Greek "Phyllon" is a leaf, so it's a "Different Leaf"?
