Brand awareness is a major factor in repeat business. Shouldn't people looking at your equipment know you are the manufacturer? Chassis Plans can help your brand by providing custom logo and paint to our broad selection of standard products in addition to any custom system we design for you. It is inexpensive and easy to make this YOUR product..
Your logo is one of your most valuable assets and should be on the front of any systems you sell. The following guidelines will help you send us the appropriate material so we can silk screen your logo to the front of our chassis.
There are 3 common technologies for putting your logo on a product.
- Silk Screen
- Die Cast Labels
- Printed Bubble Labels
Silk Screen
Silk screen is the easiest and best looking. Your art is photographically printed on a fabric screen (not silk anymore) and epoxy ink is forced through the screen onto the part being printed. Multiple colors can be applied through subsequent applications after each previous layer dries.
Fine detail and complex logos can be applied. Gradiations, where one color fades away across the logo, don't work well as there is a discrete dot size for the screen. Note the uneven printing at the top and bottom in the following example.
For example, in the following, the original logo on the left presented a gradiated blue across the circle and a gradiated 'sound' emitting from the speaker. The simplified logo is on the right. Even on your monitor, you should notice banding and patterns in the logo on the left which would also be evident in a silk screen.
As with most things, garbage in = garbage out. The better the quality of the original art, the better your printed logo will appear. It is best to provide original digital files in vector format such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Correl Draw, etc. Image formats such as .jpg, .gif, or .bmp may work but they usually have artifacts that degrade the image. Faxed copies don't work. Film originals or printed 'stats' work. For just printed text, such as a model number, font style and size will be sufficient for us to create new art. Please consult with your Chassis Plans Sales Engineer for an evaluation of your logo. We can make suggestions or actually create art as required.
Another issue to keep in mind is contrast between your logo and the background color. Chassis Plans chassis are painted black, Cardinal 8102-08, medium texture. Thus, a dark color logo will not show up unless it is surrounded by a contrasting light color. For example, the Sound Associates original logo used black ink for the lettering and speaker. It was a simple matter to change it to white against the black chassis.
We will also need a color specification for your logo colors. You will read on this site that Pantone colors are not suitable for paint specification. However, because silk screens are printed with ink, Pantone colors are preferred for logo color specification. Alternatively, specific manufacturers ink colors such as Hysol will suffice. For an example of a silk screen specification drawing in PDF we provide to the silk screen shop, click here.
For further information on the EyeOn Automation System, visit www.eyeonautomation.com.
Costs for silk screen logos is:
- $80 Film Positive Charge (1 time fee)
- $200 Setup Charge (charged for each order to create screen, set up the job, etc.)
- $4 / Color / Part to Screen Logo on Chassis
Die Cast or Etched Metal Labels
Die Cast Labels are 3-dimensional stick-on labels. These can be simple flat metal with silk screen or complex 3-dimensional labels with filled colors. These can simply be stuck to the front of the chassis. See Prestige Graphics at www.pgisd.com for a source. Setup is $500-$2,000and cost per label is in the $1-$3 depending on complexity and quantity. In general, you need to order a minimum of 250 labels.
Here's a sample of a metal label photographed at an angle to show the height of the letters. Note the texture in the background paint to match the standard Chassis Plans paint. The size of the label is .50x2.50". Contact your Chassis Plans Sales Engineer for a paint sample.
Domed Labels
Domed Labels are created by depositing a clear PVC material on top of a printed paper or foil label to create a 3-D label. See DomeTag at www.dometag.comfor examples. The advantage to these labels is they are very inexpensive. Because they are printed, they do not have the limitations regarding the art work that silk screen and metal labels have. Setup is about $75 and labels cost about $1 each for 250.
Custom paint (liquid or powder coat) allows the immediate recognition of your equipment. The EyeOn chassis above is an extreme, yet visually striking, example. More common is a simple one-color paint scheme in combination with the customer logo. This sets the chassis apart from other equipment and immediately draws the eye toward your products.
Liquid paint is low-VOC (Volatile Organic Component), typically water based, which is sprayed on and cured in an oven. Previously painted chassis can easily be repainted with minimal surface preparation. Thus, for low quantities, we will repaint our standard black chassis to match your required color. For larger quantities, we will paint to your specification as the chassis are manufactured.
Paint color is not a straight forward as you would imagine. Everybody wants to use Pantone colors for a specification but Pantone is specified for printing applications and you will get color shifts when applied to metal. In addition, trying to pick a color from samples on your monitor does not work becauseyour monitor is probably not color calibrated. See our page on Pantone for more information.
The absolute best way to match a color is to send us a painted sample. We can guarantee an exact match in both color and texture.
In order of preference, what we would like to see for a paint specification is:
- Painted Sample with a manufacturer paint specification
- Manufacturer's paint number (shouldbe able to get a paint chip to go with this)
- Federal Standard 595 number
- Pantone number
For Pantone numbers, we charge $150 to purchase a gallon of paint and provide a paint chip to you for approval. $100 will be credited to your paint costs on approval of the sample.
Costs for providing custom paint is dependent on the quantity and the particular chassis. Please contact your Chassis Plans Sales Engineer for a quotation.
Powder Coating
Paint is relatively durable but will scratch. Touch up paint can be supplied on request when your chassis are painted. On the other hand, Powder Coating is much more durable. Powder coating is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin sprayed onto a surface and baked (melted) in an oven. Applying powder is similar to spray painting in that they are both applied through a gun. One reason powder coating is becoming more common is it does not release smog creating chemicals when being applied so expensive pollution control equipment is not required.
Often the driving factor on paint versus powder is the capability of the shop manufacturing the parts. Because of the low cost of entry into applying powder, many shops provide powder coating and not paint. Therefore, if you want painted parts, they have to send them to an outside vendor. This raises the cost because there is much more handling of the parts.
Powder offers a wide variety of colors and custom colors can be mixed. In some cases, however, very large quantities of powder are required to get a custom color. See www.emachineshop.com/finishing/powder.htm for a good list of stock colors. Powder cannot be applied over paint. Thus, our standard black painted chassis cannot be recolored with powder. Only new bare metal can have powder applied. Another problem with powder is it does not stick to the filler used to smooth the heads of installed PEM hardware. Some facilities use a conductive filler to get past this issue. Often, powder coated parts will show the heads of the installed hardware which show as depressed rings in the coating.

The Oakland Raiders signed Kluwe shortly afterward, but the team cut him before he played a single game.
Four months later, in January 2014, after Priefer was rumored as a potential successor to Frazier, Kluwe published his allegations to Deadspin, calling Priefer a homophobe and Frazier and team general manager Rick Spielman cowards. Though he couldn't say for certain, he said he believes that his activism was the reason he was fired.
Priefer quickly offered a vehement denial of the allegations. "I want to be clear that I do not tolerate discrimination of any type and am respectful of all individuals," he wrote. "I personally have gay family members who I love and support just as I do any family member."
The Vikings also denied Kluwe's claim that they dismissed him because of his activism, but the team still hired a team of investigators to look into the allegations. Former Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Eric Magnuson and Chris Madel, a one-time prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice, are leading the probe. Madel in particular has a reputation for his thorough investigative work in athletics cases; he conducted the Fiesta Bowl investigation into political kickbacks in Arizona in 2011, finding that bowl employees had made $46,539 in illegal campaign contributions.
"They have a pretty good track record with the Fiesta Bowl," says Kluwe. "I think that they're invested in actually getting to the truth, to what actually happened, and I think the Vikings are, too. So I'm hopeful that things will turn out the right way. And if they don't, then we'll go from there."
After deciding to go public with his allegations against Priefer, Kluwe hired Clayton Halunen, an employment-law attorney based out of Minneapolis. Halunen believes their case could be seminal in creating a precedent to deter workplace harassment in pro sports.
"I think it's time, and I think people are really open to this idea of changing this machismo that's always been part of professional sports," says Halunen. "I think those days might be over."
Based on talks with investigators so far, Halunen and Kluwe both say they're optimistic that investigators will side with them. But if they do lose this round, they plan to fight the next with civil action.
"At the end of the day, if they do come back and say this didn't happen, then it's a cover-up," says Halunen. "We will sue them, and we will hold them accountable."
Even in the midst of his battle with the Vikings, Kluwe expresses hope for the future of the issue so dear to his heart. The mere fact that the team hired outside investigators, he says, is evidence of the rapid cultural evolution.
"I think ten years ago, no one would even be talking about this," he says. "It would just be swept under the rug and business as usual."
Kluwe acknowledges that if the Vikings do side with Priefer, it could be a setback for the gay-rights agenda he's been pushing for years now. But one way or another, he says, it won't be the end.
"That's a fight I'm willing to wage," he says. "That's not something that I'm just going to be like, 'Oh, well, they found no wrongdoing. I guess we just go on with our lives.' That's not the kind of person I am."
He laughs. "If we're in this, we're in it for the long haul."
Heading into the draft this weekend, Michael Sam's sexual orientation isn't the only factor that could potentially hurt his draft stock. At six-foot-two and 260 pounds, he's considered small for an NFL defenseman. And though he performed well at Pro Day, he had a bad showing at the combine. By most accounts, he's not a top draft pick.
But Sam still has a good shot at being drafted in the later rounds this weekend, says Russell Lande, a former NFL scout who watched Sam perform at Pro Day. "I'd be surprised if he's not. He's not a lead prospect, but he's a really productive player."
The questions most scouts will be asking about Sam will likely have nothing to do with him being gay, predicts Lande. They will be more interested in Sam's character, how he'll respond to the demands of his coaches and teammates, and his ability to play through the pain that comes with being a professional football player.
"I don't think his sexuality is even going to come up for most teams," says Lande. "They'll all know it because he came out, but I think they're going to say, 'It is what it is.'"
Now that athletes like Sam and Collins have come out, many are left to wonder what will happen next. Dan Woog, whose research has chronicled the history of gays in professional sports, believes it's only a matter of time before more athletes begin to follow their lead. The ultimate goal, he says, is for an out athlete to be so commonplace that it's no longer news.
"Everybody remembers Jackie Robinson, the first black baseball player," says Woog. "A decent number of people remember Larry Doby, the second black baseball player. But nobody remembers the third."

I'm with you all the way on this. I feel that the internet has allowed too many people to do too many things as they like. It's become dizzying anarchy--and that's no way to live.
I wish only that they further broaden the definitions in the bill to allow corporations a more complete control over things. The way the legislation is now, some of these "artists" could still slip through the cracks and muddy up what should be a nice, clean, and concise collection of media.
And pirates too. They're just out to steal money from these wonderful media groups. Jealousy, perhaps?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, 2002 "I haven't made up my mind we're going to war with Iraq," U.S. President George W. Bush said Tuesday. "I've made up my mind we need to disarm the man."
Saddam Hussein is a true threat to his neighbors and to the United States, the president said following a White House meeting with members of Congress. The United States is determined to disarm Iraq and thereby bring peace to the world, he said.
"The best way to deal with him is for the world to rise up and say, 'You disarm, (or) we'll disarm you.' And if, at the very end of the day, nothing happens, the United States, along with others, will act."
Bush acknowledged that Congress is working to reach consensus on a resolution to deal with Iraq. He said he doesn't want a resolution that will tie his hands or one that's weaker than the "very strong" resolution Congress passed in 1998.
"They wisely recognized that Saddam Hussein was a threat in (19)98 and he's more of a threat four years later," Bush said. "This guy's had four years to lie, deceive, to arm up. He's had four years to thumb his nose at the world. He's stockpiling more weapons."
The military option is not the first choice, he stressed; disarming Saddam is. "The same old stuff isn't going to work," Bush said. "We won't accept the status quo. There needs to be a strong new resolution in order for us to make it clear to the world and to Saddam Hussein, more importantly, that you must disarm."
A very strong UN resolution is needed, he said, "so that we don't fall into the same trap as we have done for the last 11 years which is nothing happens."
"The United Nations must show its backbone," the president said. "And we will work with members of the Security Council to put a little calcium in the backbone, so this organization is able to more likely keep the peace as we go down the road."

Video:Safety Tips for Thawing a Whole Turkeywith Cathy Straub
Thawing a whole frozen turkey takes time and needs to be done properly to ensure the meat is prepared properly. Watch these safety tips for thawing a whole turkey so you can cook your Thanksgiving dinner confidently.See Transcript
Transcript:Safety Tips for Thawing a Whole Turkey
Hi, this is Cathy Straub for About.com and today I'm going to share with you some safety tips for thawing your turkey.
Do Not Thaw a Turkey at Room Temperature
One of the first safety tips i need to remind you of is that it is never okay to leave your turkey sitting out on the countertop at room temperature to thaw. Leaving any perishable food at room temperature for more than two hours is going to allow bacteria to just continue to grow, and even a small turkey is going to take more than two hours to thaw.
Check the Turkey's Temperature Before Roasting
If you are going to be defrosting your turkey in the refrigerator, make sure that you do place it in a pan. So if there are any juices that leak from the turkey, they do not contaminate any other foods in your refrigerator. If you are defrosting your turkey in the sink, be sure that you change out the water every thirty minutes and don't leave it sitting in the water any longer than necessary to thaw. In order to stop the spread of bacteria, the turkey should not read and internal temperature above 40 degrees until you are ready to cook it.
Disinfect Surfaces After Thawing the Turkey
After you are done thawing in the sink, make sure to disinfect your sink with a bleach solution so that you are not transferring any bacteria into other foods or dishes you may be washing in the sink. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and warm water after touching raw turkey before handling any other foods. Thank you for watching. For more tips and information visit food.about.com!

Carbondale, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Aaron Hawley led all scorers with 19 points and drained the game-winning bucket in the final minute to lift the Drake Bulldogs to a 57-54 victory over the Southern Illinois Salukis in a Missouri Valley Conference bout at SIU Arena.
Richard Carter poured in 12 points for Drake (11-8, 2-5 MVC), which snapped a five-game losing streak.
Desmar Jackson tallied 15 points and six steals for SIU (6-14, 2-5 MVC). Tyler Smithpeters and Sean O'Brien both scored 12 points, with O'Brien adding 11 rebounds to his performance.
Drake controlled the first half, taking a 32-23 lead into the break after shooting 47.4 percent from the field. SIU made just 33.3 percent of its field goal tries in the opening 20 minutes.
The Bulldogs extended their lead to as many as 13 midway through the second half, but the Salukis would not go quietly, climbing all the way back to tie the game at 52 with under a minute to play. Drake converted the game-winner on its next possession, however, when Hawley drilled a 3-pointer with 40 seconds left. SIU had a chance to tie the game in the waning seconds but Dawson Verhines' 3-pointer did not fall.
Drake drained 19-of-23 from the free-throw line on the evening, while SIU was a dreadful 12-of-28. The Bulldogs also outscored the Salukis from beyond the arc, 24-12.

text: North Tonawanda, NY (WBEN) -- North Tonawanda police and fire investigators worked together to make a quick arrest in a rash of fires Monday night into Tuesday morning. The photo of the suspect was shown during an afternoon news conference. North Tonawanda Police Chief William Hall says the suspect is a white male, wearing glasses and a v-neck t-shirt, medium build with dark, short hair. "It would appear by the video he was the one who started the tote on fire behind one of the businesses," says Hall. Five vehicles, four houses, a garbage dumpster and a tote were damaged. One of the fires hit the City of Tonawanda. No one was hurt. Last evening, police announced the arrest of Christopher Syracuse, 26, of the City of Tonawanda. Following the release of the surveillance image, a tip led police to pick up Syracuse at his residence. Police say Syracuse has admitted to setting all of the blazes, and will be charged with arson and criminal mischief. Although Syracuse provided his reason for setting the fires, police did not reveal that motive at last evening's news conference.

I sent my family out for some lunch for me to start pushing and exactly 2 minutes later, called them to tell them that Claire Elizabeth was here. She is her Daddy's girl and obviously didn't want to be late for lunch.
You are so sweet and well mannered. You enjoy playing by yourself and are a rockstar at puzzles.
Sometimes, I think you are so smart you are on another level entirely.

What is the best solution: 1. get a new parallel i/o card with two ports or 2. get one of those ethernet adapters that serves as the print server. I have several old i/o cards out of the 486's we had over the years. Could I just pop one of those in and use it for the lcd. Will it be fast enough for the lcd? thanks, Jason

Zombies live on
By René A. Guzman : October 11, 2013 : Updated: October 12, 2013 6:28pm
Photo By Jonathan Wenk/Associated Press
This film image released by Summit Entertainment shows Nicholas Hoult in a scene from "Warm Bodies." (AP Photo/Summit Entertainment, Jonathan Wenk)
The 1968 film that started it all. Romero's original zombie flick featured Judith O'Dea and Duane Jones as unfortunate survivors of a zombie outbreak in rural Pennsylvania. Unlike the big budget zombie films of today, the cause of the outbreak is left by the wayside as the film depicts gory, violent scenes of zombies eating the living. Not only did the film gross $18 million on a $100k budget, it also kick-started the entire pop-culture fascination with zombies.
Though most only know of Zack Snyder's questionably sincere 2004 remake, Romero's original Dawn of the Dead did it first and did it better. Survivors of a zombie apocalypse enter an abandoned shopping mall to wait for a rescue that may never come, fighting off the undead and their own interpersonal conflicts in the meantime. The film is a classic, and is enjoyable because it features intelligent, relatable characters (rather than the cardboard cutouts of the remake, no matter how entertaining they may be). The film was made for $650k and grossed $55 million worldwide.
Zack Snyder's semi-faithful remake of the '78 classic. The characters are dumber, and the plot is much thinner, but the film does have its inarguable shining moments, including the survivors picking off celebrity look-a-like zombies from the rooftop. The film was made for $28 million and grossed $102 million worldwide.
Perhaps not a 'zombie' movie in the traditional sense, Evil Dead still deserves an honorable mention for holding a special place in the hearts of horror buffs. Bites turn victims into demonically-possessed cannibals, and much gore and screaming ensues. Made for roughly $350k, the film made just under $2.5 million worldwide.
The 2002 film that created the subgenre of zombies lovingly called "Rage Zombies." Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic London showcases sprinting, screaming zombies unlike those shambling numbskulls of Romero's classics. The film creates incredible tension and nerve-wracking thrills through its use of these new zombie monsters, and endures as one of the strongest examples of modern horror filmmaking. Made for 5 million GBP, the film grossed about 82 million GBP worldwide.
This never-ending line of adaptations of the popular video game series is still ongoing, despite the fact that the stories have nothing to do with the games, nor are they in any way compelling. Despite this, the zombies are creepy and the later monsters are entertaining to watch. This film deserves mention because it brought the popular game series into the wide public eye, and is one of few video game adaptations to find commercial success on the big screen. Made for $248 million (total, over the whole series), the series has grossed almost $1 billion since its debut in 2002.
The brilliantly funny and simultaneously bloody comedy from the minds of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and directed by Edgar Wright, this film is easily the best zombie comedy ever made. From impeccably integrating every early joke in later scenes, to also somehow allowing audiences to develop attachments to the ridiculous characters, the film is a triumph of blending zombies and comedy. Made for $6 million, the film grossed $30 million world wide.
This movie might not be wholly considered a zombie film, since its antagonists are more like mutants than the undead. However, it still brings back the engrossing, thrilling tropes of the undead films, such as the notion of a mob versus one survivor, enemies with no concern for physical pain or obstacles, psychological trauma caused by the moans and sounds of the monsters, etc. While not quite as intelligent as the original novel, Will Smith's performance makes this adaptation worthy of a mention here. With fast-paced, 28-Days-Later-style monsters and the incredibly engrossing use of dilapidated sets and stunning CGI overlaid on NYC, this film is a must-see for action and horror fans alike. Made for $150 million, the film made $585 million worldwide.
The 2010 remake of this classic horror film is somewhere between awful and "so bad it's good" status, making it worth watching, at least in part. The writing is bad, the story is worse, and the "twists" are about as surprising as the fact that the film is about people going crazy. However, the ideas the film grapples with, such as the survivor vs. monster/zombie vs. military conflict that arises when the military enacts a quarantine, are interesting and handled in entertaining ways. There are more than a few groan-worthy moments in the film, but also some that call for consideration and recognition. Made for $20 million, the film grossed $55 million worldwide.
A sort of American "Shaun of the Dead," this horror-comedy knows exactly what it is, and makes no attempt to hide it. The jokes and zombies are hilariously over-the-top, and only get increasingly more fantastical as the film goes on. However, there are a few real, human moments in the movie that make it very praise-worthy, as it avoids a humor-only approach in favor of a balancing act that is executed remarkably well. Also, Bill Murray's cameo may be one of the best performances of the man's career. Made for $23 million, the film made just over $100 million worldwide.
This year's "zombie romance" film, based on the novel of the same name, is worth seeing not necessarily because of its quality (which is mediocre), but because of its uniqueness. An unusual and surprisingly humorous take on what a zombie is, and how it works, this film manages to find new ground to cover in a well-tread genre, and doesn't fail to surprise or engage the audience at different points. Made for $35 million, the film made $116 million worldwide.
The adaptation of Max Brooks' incredible Oral History of the Zombie War, this film is both incredibly satisfying and hugely disappointing. While it is a remarkably good, even excellent, zombie film, it bears little or no resemblance to the book of the same name. In fact, were it not for the shared name, I think I would hold both the book and the movie in equal regard. As it stands, however, I would say that it's easily one of the least-faithful adaptations ever made, despite its incredible value as a zombie film. I would recommend that everyone read the book and see the movie, but to do everything you can to divorce the two from one another in your mind; as standalone entries in the genre, they are both equally impressive. The film is fast, twisted, shocking, and brutal. Brad Pitt's performance is exquisite. On a budget of $190 million, the movie made $539 million worldwide.
Finally, the show of the hour! Debuting in 2010 to rave reviews, this adaptation of the hugely-popular graphic novel series has yet to disappoint. While season 2 was said to be slow in the mid season, the producers left no doubt about their ability to subsequently build tension and create incredible climaxes. Season 3 left us broken and battered, just like our loved survivors. It's time to get settled back in for another season of heartbreak, fear and excitement. Set to come back on Oct. 13th at 9 p.m., season 4 is shaping up to be just as energetic, record-breaking and worthwhile as all the rest.
So a zombie walks into a cellphone store ...
It's no joke. Well, not really. It's a Sprint commercial hawking unlimited talk, text and data — service so seemingly appetizing even the undead want a bite of that action.
It's also one shambling step closer to the end of the zombie as unholy, unmitigated terror.
Need further proof the nightmarish zombie has been commodified into a cheesy punch line? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention glommed onto it for a Zombie Preparedness guide at www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombies.htm. The CDC notes this tongue-in-cheek approach to hazard preparedness has "proven to be a very effective platform."
It gets worse, and by worse we mean cuddly. Petco recently released pet tips to protect your "fur kids" against a zombie threat. What, because the latter's bite is worse than its bark? Please.
The wandering corpse has even lumbered into sappy "Twilight" territory. This year saw the romantic comedy "Warm Bodies," the tale of a zombie dude who craves the heart of a human survivor not out of blind hunger but love. Yuck.
At least we can get back to a fiercer spin on revenants with the return of "The Walking Dead" Sunday on AMC. But is it too little too late? Have zombies finally jumped the undead shark?
"No, I think (what) it represents is people recognizing that they are mindless and hungry, but they're still intelligent. People themselves are zombies," said Rebecca Housel, also known as the Pop Culture Professor and a speaker on the Wizard World comic book and pop culture convention tour.
Housel said zombies illustrate the reclamation of our humanity: We walk around half-dead yet we're still intelligent consumers in so many senses of the word "consume." We want the best stuff, merchandise with braaaaainsssss, if you will.
"And zombies are the perfect thing to represent the masses that way," Housel said.
Joe McKinney, the San Antonio horror writer who won the Bram Stoker Award for his zombie chiller "Flesh Eaters," said via email that zombies make for smart, relatable metaphors. That includes commercialization, but so much more.
"I tell you now that today, 50 years hence, will be called the Golden Age of the Zombie," said McKinney, who just published "The Savage Dead." "The zombie is for us what the rocket was to science fiction 50 years ago. It is as pregnant with metaphor, as frightening in its killing power and as hopeful in its suggestion of what may come as the rocket ever was.
"(They) have so much power, and so much potential," he added, "that I don't think they will ever go away."
Especially when zombies have crept into the very lexicon of the living.
"Once a trope becomes part of our language, it is here to stay. So it is with the zombie," McKinney said. "Today, professional economists speak (of) zombie banks, computer programmers speak of zombie terminals and even philosophers are using the concept of the zombie to discuss the concept of how we understand language. A trope so flexible, so adaptable, is not likely to go away, even if they cancel 'The Walking Dead' next week."
Housel traces the word zombie to William Seabrook's 1929 book "The Magic Island," which told of Haitian voodoo.
Zombies clawed into pop culture in earnest with George A. Romero's 1968 classic "Night of the Living Dead." The black-and-white horror film cast a gloomy light on societal mores as well as some spectacularly wooden acting in the face of undead flesh-eaters.
Zombies have since risen and fallen to riveting and raucous effect. Movies like "Dawn of the Dead" and "28 Days Later" deliver smarts as well as shrieks, while cheekier turns such as "Shaun of the Dead" and "Zombieland" tear into the zombie genre with bloody good comedy.
So if we really want zombies to live on, perhaps the secret to their longevity does indeed lie in reinvention.
Lovey-dovey-ness aside, "Warm Bodies" is actually quite clever. And this summer's "World War Z" — which dared bypass its literary source material and transform the typically slow zombies into a rapidly swarming tidal wave — is the highest grossing zombie movie from 1980 to now, according to Box Office Mojo.
Does this mean farewell to the OZ (original zombie) for a kinder or faster monster? Hardly. After all, Housel said zombies represent humanity. And we all know how ugly the human condition can get in life, let alone the afterlife.
"I think as long as there's fear of other human beings, there's going to be zombies for a very long time," she said. "They may be re-imagined, kind of work with the times or represent a certain culture or a certain cultural market ... But I think that ultimately they have a lot of longevity. Given that they're dead."
Housel said zombies will remain ferocious yet still be parodied. So this latest mass marketing may be part of a bigger, still terrifying picture.
So go ahead and smarten up that smartphone, Sprint commercial zombie guy. That ringtone you hear isn't the death knell for you and your reanimated brethren. And, thankfully, that's pretty scary.

Dark Angels
It's not often GT spends Monday night in a church – but we broke tradition yesterday to hear marvellous mezzo soprano CN Lester with the talented Toby Carr on guitar. Lumen United Reform Church, situated near London's Kings Cross, provided the ideal setting for modern classical music: stylish, minimal design is juxtaposed with stained-glass windows which look through to another era. It was an interesting venue for a decidedly queer concert.
We arrived late, but just in time for Five Lullabies (only four of which were performed) poems by queer activist and author Roz Kaveney, adapted by Phillip Lawton. It wasn't long before we were mesmerised – literally entranced – by the sounds emanating from CN and Toby. Who knew a guitar could sound so enchanting, so ethereal? The backs of people's heads began to look more attractive. The walls seemed the glow. The music ignited a heightened sense of beauty. It was magical.
It was like the opposite of watching X-Factor. It cleared the mind.
The title songs are by Peter Maxwell Davies – pretty much the most important composer in the country at the moment (he's Master of the Queen's Music). And, of course, he's gay. CN's charismatic performance captured the drama of these pieces perfectly. The vocal talent was unquestionable, and the staccato highs and lows helped shake the hypnosis after Toby's guitar solos by Davies and Benjamin Britten.
This sort of music doesn't come without endless hours of rehearsal and the rapturous applause was well deserved. As if that wasn't enough, there was homemade carrot cake for afters. Beats faffing around on Facebook all night, right?
Catch CN and Toby perform Dark Angels at this year's Manchester Pride, Friday 24th August at 1pm, at the Cosmo Rodewald Hall, the Martin Harris Centre, Manchester University, Bridgeford Street, Manchester M13 9PL. Tickets are free so no need to book.
