How can you make online grocery shopping more attractive? - is 3D technology an option?
Current online grocery shopping platforms are inconvenient, use small visuals and offer a tedious experience.
Are there ways that online grocery shopping can become more interactive? Would people prefer a 3D game-like shopping experience or a 'real-life' experience that they would receive in a physical grocery store?
Why hasn't 3D technology taken off when the technology has been around for a few years now? Is 3D technology to solution?
Sep 13 2012: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19148154
Related?Sep 20 2012: @patrick, we're actually in the process of an entire redesign and rebranding, which is why I came on board. As far the trust factor, we're working on that now. Its not really the farmers who pick the food for the customer, but the Relay staff who pick the food from the farmers or from grocery stores and other vendors and then deliver it or present it at pickup for the customer. Trust is a hard one and we're working on it, but I don't think technology solves this problem.
In fact I think trust might actually be more related to expectations rather than just trust, but it doesn't replace it.Sep 16 2012: I agree with @erudite explorer. 3D doesn't solve the problem that we want to feel, knock, smell our produce. Or we want to work with people we trust to take care of that for us. Its an expectations issue. If produce were super consistent like a McDonalds hamburger we could use 3D technology to help encourage people to purchase it, but then no one would want it, because... well, it had become a McDonald's cheeseburger instead of the organic living thing it was meant to be.
Groceries on the whole are different than produce. I think we (Relay Foods http://relayfoods.com, on the East Coast) are handling this better than others at the moment, but there is SO much to learn all around. It's a bridge that has to be crossed, and won't be for everyone, but we've already found that the convenience of getting locally grown, healthy food, alongside your everyday groceries collected and delivered to you is something people are really excited about.
Sep 18 2012: I definitely also agree that the technology at the moment is not that far in order to be able to simulate feels, smells or similar product aspects. But who knows, technology might be able to solve these issues soon.
In terms of the Relay Foods: I really like the look and feel of the Homepage, but have a question to the business model. As far as I understand, Farmers pick the fruits for the customers, so they won't have this experience of self picking either? How did you achieve that customers "trust" you to pick the right ones?Sep 14 2012: Online grocery shopping? Please stop right there! Let people walk around and find their groceries. Shit even that one excuse to actually meet people!Sep 14 2012: You can't get around the problem that when I buy fresh produce I choose an individual item (Lettuce, Steak, Orange etc) based on its smell and feel as much as its appearence. You just can't do that online. Plus you are only garaunteed you get the one you choose if you pick it up with your own hand.Sep 13 2012: Could? Yes.
Maybe interactive goggles. But, there is a power of pulling out cash or a card and doing it your self in public. There is also the sounds, smells, sights, and discoveries of the experience in person. Finding a new product, smelling fresh breads, finding a special bargain, satisfying a curiosity about a taste...these are immersion type sensations.
There is no doubt an audience now, such as germophobes, invalids, general couch potatoes, the lazy, and the tech savvy elitists. However, it will take generations before people no longer want to go to the store to by the things they want to ad variety to life.Sep 13 2012: It is about delivery.
With all the search agents out there, perhaps you could set up a list of standard items you always buy, set delivery schedule, and then check for best price vs delivery costs.
There will always be a desire to go and buy the different items that make life enjoyable directly.
Sep 13 2012: Do you think a 3D-real life like experience could give you that feeling that you descried in your last sentence? Or is this too early? Generation Z and Y(partly) grew up with the internet and use it for everything. They communicate online, play online, hang out online, don't you think they would maybe also like to shop online? it's convenient, they have more time for themselves etc.?
Sep 14 2012: Could? Yes.
It is too early and it may be a long while before folks give up the sensations associated with going to the food market for an ant-septic experience. The smell of fresh baked good, fish, fruit, and coffee are not easiily simulated and some enjoy the sensory stimulation.
There are folks like germophobes, crowd haters, anti-social types, couch potatoes, invalids or disabled, geriatric, etc. that might jump at the chance for such technology, but there are many that like the trip to market for other reasons. Being able to be surprised by a sale, find a new thing to try, get just the right cut of meat or piece of fruit, etc. really enjoy the experience.
We are spending a lot of time in front of computers in other areas of life now. perhaps thsi one will wait a while...Sep 13 2012: I think the problem of buying groceries online is that you need food "now", and not later. So it is not about the ads, but more about the delivery.
If you make it possible that your online customers get their groceries same fast or faster than they would get them by buying them the "old-fashioned" way, than you make a business.
If you are slower, than you can just make a business with groceries that the local shops do not list, but this business is already taken, restaurants and gourmet people order their stuff there.
The average joe will not buy groceries online, as long as he has the possibilty to get his things in real-time. And you can't sell grocieries cheaper than offline supermarkets, as you have the same costs (you need to keep even more products in stock, it has to be transported to your warehouse, people have to sort and pack the orders) and additional costs for delivery that either you or the customer has to pay.
You can wait for a tv set or clothings a couple of days, but if your fridge is empty, you need it right now. You don't want to depend on your postman, you could not, even if you wanted, as you have to eat.Sep 13 2012: What you're asking for is more about the design of the user experience.
So, where does one perform online grocery shopping? What is one's objective in grocery shopping? What is the purpose for making grocery shopping online or making it 3D? Why would one want to shop for groceries online rather than in real life? Why would one want to shop for groceries in real life rather than online?
Sep 13 2012: I agree it's all about answering these questions. But I was more looking at retailers that have an existing platform and assumed they did their groundwork right.
I believe the online shopping objective is to home-deliver groceries (or whatever product) in order to save time and for convenience.
If you have a look at current online shopping pages however, they are tedious and most of the time you hardly find the product if you don't know the brand or its name.
I believe 3D technology could catch people who never shopped online before because they weren't happy with the technique, were not born in the internet generation, or were simply not interested in online shopping because it didn't offer an experience.
Sep 14 2012: So how exactly would making it 3D improve the shopping experience for shoppers? What does 3D have to offer that previous 2D didn't? What does 2D offer that 3D doesn't have?Sep 13 2012: I believe if you combined 3D technology with a good and efficient search function you could make a customers life much easier. Just imagine rather than having a list of products with tiny pictures where you have to click through 10 pages in order to find your product (because you might not know what type of toothpaste you are looking for) you're standing in front of a virtual shelf where you exactly know where your product is... ? I think this would have potential if it's not too much 2nd Life like.Sep 13 2012: Thank you for this link. It is definitely related, as it falls in the categories of Online / mobile shopping. Although most of my interest lays on how to make online shopping more attractive a system that combines online and mobile shopping could be a solution. Any other comments or opinions?
Sep 13 2012: More integration and automation. You could input the age, sex, weight and special diet needs of the people that you're feeding so the proper amount of food per week is assured. You could have a virtual market where you can pick out what you like and then have the software recommend ways to save money and/or eat healthier as well as make recipe suggestions. The mobile could snap pics of barcodes so that anything you find in "the wild" can be added to the likes list. The software can learn the likes and needs of the household and become a fully automated shopping assistant.
Sep 13 2012: I like the concept of software that learns... but my question with this is would anyone afford to implement such a software? And what do you think of a 3D environment? Is it too much game like or do you think people would like to have an shopping experience that "hits home" and is close to real life but still quick?
Sep 13 2012: I think that a 3d virtual grocery store would be cool, but more of a gimmick than a functional feature. After all, one of the best parts about shopping online for most people is not having to go to the store. I'm not sure that you'll find too many people that enjoy grocery shopping enough that an immersive 3d simulation sounds like fun.
This wouldn't be the first time today that I was wrong.

With a movie a year output, they call Woody Allen prolific, but how about Lucio Fulci. Fifty six films in thirty five years, and in the span of three years during that period he gave us
City of the Living Dead
The Black Cat
The Beyond
House by the Cemetery
. Not bad, considering most filmmakers dont even make one film with the influence and notoriety of any one of those pictures. It was his golden age, as most fans would attest, with four zombie pictures and three, City, Beyond and Cemetery, forming an unofficial Gates of Hell trilogy.
The Beyond
is the most lauded, and
House by the Cemetery
will always give us Bob. Wedged in between, though, is one of Fulcis most quietly influential works,
City of the Living Dead
, or Gates of Hell to those who watched the film on VHS with that iconic zombie head overtop a misty city cover. From
Kill Bill
Planet Terror
Uncle Sam
it has revered American filmmakers with one virtuoso scene to the next. For years it has existed in shadow amongst Fulcis higher-profile titles, but now finally, its getting the special edition treatment fans have been clamoring for. When it braaaaains it pours, and
fans are getting not one, but two special Blu-ray editions, one overseas from Arrow and one local from The Lustig Co. Blue Underground. Lets unbury the Blue Ray of this Fulci favorite.
The Story
Cutting right to the chase,
City of the Living Dead
begins with a hanging. Without explanation, Father William Thomas (
Fabrizio Jovine
The Psychic
) drapes a rope around a tree hanging overtop a cemetery, and wrings his neck. Mary Woodhouse (
Catriona MacColl
, the lead in all three of Fulcis "Gates of Hell" films) witnesses this in full at a séance, it the shock seems too much to handle. She begins frothing at the mouth and suddenly collapses. Pronounced dead from shock, shes grieved and buried, but minutes after being put in the dirt she comes back to screaming life. Submerged beneath the earth, she bangs furiously on the casket, clawing her fingernails off at one last chance at life. Lucky for her, a nosy journalist investigating her rather curious death by shock happens to be standing within meters of her grave. Peter Bell (
Christopher George
) grabs a conveniently placed pick axe and without hesitation drives it into the casket mere inches away from her head. Out she comes from her grave, but shes not the only one.
The dead are coming back to life, and Peter and Mary (Paul must have been off with the magic dragon) head back to the medium to try and figure out whats been happening. The medium explains that all the events, from the priest hanging to Mary dying and coming back to life, have all been preordained over four thousand years ago in The Book of Enoch. The dead will stay at rest no longer, and unless someone can find the undead priest and stake him, the small town of Dunwich (hello, Lovecraft!), New England and soon after the rest of the world, will face the apocalypse. Time is ticking away, too, for once midnight strikes on All Saints Day, the gates of hell will open and no soul will be safe. Peter and Mary head over to Dunwich, where the priest took his life, to try and crack the case before the cracks in the earth lead to unwavering destruction.
Investigating the priests actions themselves are a psychologist (
Carlo De Mejo
Manhattan Baby
Terror Express
) and his fragile patient, Sandra (
Janet Agren
, Lenzis
Eaten Alive
). Most of the townsfolk think its the troubled child sex offender, Bob (
Giovanni Lombardo Radice
Cannibal Ferox
House on the Edge of the Park
), but after Bob has his head drilled through in memorable fashion by a vigilante parent, its clear there are much sinister goings on in Dunwich. The sun begins to set, and underground the group goes to finally finish the father. Before they get to him, though, they must journey through a tomb of death, passing through cobwebs, rats and rotting corpses. The corpses are coming for them, too.
Fulci must have really liked
Un Chien Andalou
, and Im not just saying that because of Fulcis infatuation with pulverizing eyeballs on screen. As much as he is known for his gore, Fulcis got a surrealist and intellectual mind as big as Luis Bunuels, constantly trying to push the boundaries of structure and what cinema really means. Bunuels 1929 short saw a womans eye being cut juxtaposed with a moon (and later many other surreal happenings) to demonstrate literally how reality is only a perception of vision, and when thats severed surrealism and liberty run free. This connection is evident in Fulcis later work like
Cat in the Brain
, where he plays himself in a narrative that intercuts footage from previous films to try and blur the layers of filmic reality. He does it again in
Door into Silence
, using the entire picture as a subjective put-on to explore how only in death can life truly become clear.
City of the Living Dead
, though, might just be his most profound exploration of the subject, weaving in several different motifs to ultimately make film the ultimate tool of destruction.
, Fulci creates his characters to be just like his audience. Theyre there to be shocked, and we often see their reactions in the first person to emphasize the connection. The fascinating Bob might just be his greatest metaphor for the audience, with the character almost entirely silent, exploring from place to place the horrors that surround him. Early in the film we see him wander and then stumble into a house, where he puzzlingly gropes a blow-up doll before seeing the rotting remains of an infant. Right there he takes part in the two things that often drive us to the arts sex and death. Bob is literally reduced to a pervert of both extremes, and when he dies in an elaborately stagy (and unbelievably graphic) drill to the head, its tough not to see Fulci thinking Bunuel. Hell, the framing of Bobs death in many ways mirrors that in
, too. What Fulci seems to be saying is that, yes, were there for nudity and violence, but ultimately our destiny or Bobs rests with him, our god, our director.
Fulci makes sure his dominance over the audience is established early on with an early cameo as a doctor, yet another figure of authority. Its all metaphysical from there, with events like the opening of the gates of hell and the illusion of the dead manifested as elements of cinema. Early on in the film the opening of the gates causes the mirrors and walls in a bar to crack and fragment into several pieces. Its obvious that a mirror is a commonplace metaphor for cinemas ability to reflect or distort reality, but Fulci takes it a step further. In a controversial finale, where most personal accounts deafen its figurative audaciousness by surmising that coffee was spilled on the final reel forcing Fulci to end the film prematurely, a running boy is for no apparent reason freeze framed and disintegrated with a cracking screen optical effect. Seen on its own, the scene seems totally ludicrous. Theres a jump scare musical stinger and everything, despite the fact that all the boy is doing is running gaily to the survivors. The scare is totally contrived out of nothing, but THAT is precisely its brilliance. Its in that scene, which is again foreshadowed by the similarly cracking mirrors and walls earlier in the film, that Fulci shows us that film, like reality, is a mere construction that can easily be manipulated by the powers that be. Whether its Satan pulling the strings in hell or Fulci behind the camera, the outcome is the same. It challenges our understanding of safeness, of familiarity, of life. The film frame dissolves and you know what, weve been had.
But what a grand joke it is.
City of the Living Dead
is a technically marvelous film, with some of the grandest special effects and perhaps the most elaborately macabre set ever constructed. The notable effects are many blood tearing out of Catriona MacColls eyes, intestines being vomited out of a living person, Bobs aforementioned drill, and countless shots of brains being ripped out of heads. The maggoty faces of all the zombies are in themselves incredibly artistic, and quite the departure from the usual clay castings Fulci used for
The Beyond
. Whether its the slimy zombies or the literal rain of maggots,
City of the Living Dead
has an organic life to it that once again highlights Fulcis play upon our understanding of whats real and whats cinema. Throughout the movie there is the device that zombies are walking the earth, but sometimes they are seen and sometimes they are not. Often, the camera will cut between the zombie doing and then the person watching and seeing nothing. Again, its Fulci making his characters the audience, always questioning the reality of what is being shown. Whats happening cant be reality but why does it look so real?
The final sequence in the Fathers tomb is again such a fantastic construction of organic decay. Ridden with cob webs, bones, rats and rotting wood, the tomb seems like it truly was carved out of the earth rather than some giant sound stage in Italy. Spanning a few stories in height, its a set that seems totally above a movie that was made for the grindhouse. But thats Fulci for you, always pushing, always trying to use the edges of cinema to play with expectations and to push how powerful an illusion can be. The climax is awesome, possibly the grandest horror Fulci ever put on screen, all set to the menacing, elliptical pulsing of longtime musical collaborator Fabio Frizzis thumping beat. It cannot be denied that
City of the Living Dead
is a showy collection of amazing set pieces and sequences, but what makes it great is Fulcis literate way of taking this grand, empty spectacle and turning it instead into a grand critique of fascist order. Its not a zombie movie, its a movie where the cinema is undead, living and breathing the very conceits and constructs of its story, manifested finally as one big disintegrating frame. But for those who refuse to give Lucio Fulci the artistic credence he deserves, its one hell of a gore picture, too.
Image Quality
Anchor Bay DVD
Its flip a coin with Blue Underground as to whether or not youre going to get their noisy digital sharpening or not, and in this case, like with Fulcis
New York Ripper
its noise city. There is always a thick fluttering noise present in front of the visuals, always veiling the film from what is behind a pretty sleek restoration. The colors really resonate with vivid intensity, even behind the noise, for a pretty vivacious picture. In that respect the print looks like it could have been minted yesterday. While there are some bits of specs and dust, most of these are due to the large amount of optical work done on the film. Its a film shot uncharacteristically for Fulci on 16mm, so its got a level of grain to it that films like
The Beyond
just do not have. Despite the grain (which becomes even more apparent with the sharpening), the print has been cleaned up impeccably and looks a good deal better than the now ten-year-old Anchor Bay DVD.
Anchor Bay DVD
The most notable improvement is the latitude in the blacks, which register a lot more detail this time around, including textures and maggots on the zombies faces and dirt and debris on all those inner tomb walls. The colors receive an amazing restoration, too. It almost doesnt seem believable for so much more color information to be pulled the negative, but considering how strong and consistent the colors the saturation does look natural. With this new Blu-ray, almost every scene is given a lush new color palette, whether its grey dirt suddenly moonlight blue or beige entrails a vivid red. Color-wise, this definitely makes for one of the most pronounced before and after comparisons out there. Also noticeable is the added picture information from zooming out slightly on the negative. Not essential, but for scenes in close quarters, and with Fulci and his penchant for the extreme close-up there are those scenes a-plenty, the added space makes the framing a lot more flattering. But still, its that noise, that sharp flurry of black dots, that distract and keep this from being a benchmark transfer. I wish Blue Underground wouldnt strive to make everything so sharp a slightly blurred image without noise would be much preferred and more much natural.
Anchor Bay DVD
If its true that Fulcis story literally jumps out as part of the frame, the same, too, can be said of this omnipresent DTS-HD 7.1 audio remix. No longer is the film confined to a set of front speakers, it gets a major boost in breadth and latitude as its spread effectively around the eight speaker setup. There are many jump-inducing sequences where a thump on a door or a crack on the floor manifest themselves directionally in the surrounding speakers. There is a lot of movement in the rear, and its from discrete ambient effects, not just Fabio Frizzis evocative score. Dialogue isnt quite as boisterous, but its always clear and definitely not flat. The LFE channel has a moderate showing, but the care put into the overall design and sound space of this track is always apparent. Its very effective, and definitely a restoration worthy of the usually superlative 7.1 spec. One of Blue Undergrounds better sound remixes.
Supplemental Material
For the last couple years, Blue Underground has seemingly been working on auto-pilot, merely porting all their exceptional titles and DVDs to Blu-ray with the same extras and transfers. This, though, marks a welcome return to new features, with over a half-dozen new extras made specifically for this release. It should be noted that Blue Underground is also releasing a new DVD to coincide with the 30th Anniversary as well, although it has only a small portion of the extras. Blu-ray exclusives will be noted upon mention.
First up is The Making of
City of the Living Dead
, featuring over 30-minutes of interviews with key people involved in the production, including actress Catriona MacColl, assistant (and now director) Michele Soavi, special effects artist Gino De Rossi, and other members of the camera and effects crews. All the significant scenes in the film are touched upon, from the drill to the barfing entrails. There are anecdotes about Fulci the man and how each crew member got along with him, although theres another featurette that goes into greater depth on the subject. In fact, the bulk of this doc is pretty light while many things are touched upon, there isnt a lot of depth or elaboration outside of maybe a few of the effects scenes. De Rossi still has a number of the effect pieces used on the film, and his physical demonstrations of their inner workings, particularly the drill, really help to show the creativity in bringing them to life. Outside of that, though, memories and musings are hazy at best, and other than base facts there really isnt as much follow up on all the observations presented throughout. Its interesting enough, but this, em, never goes below the surface.
The next and best extra is Memories of the Maestro, which features a large number of actors from the film, including Carlo De Mejo, Antonella Interlenghi, Fabrizio Jovine and many of the crew members featured in the previous featurette. Even the little kid actor, all grown now, has a great story about how Fulci blew up at him on set and hes all the better for it! Every person has their own personal tale of the genius, demonstrating his duality in being both a dictatorial tyrant and a witty, caring friend. Like the making-of, this does feel abridged, especially when guys like Carlo De Mejo seem to be just brimming with stories to tell about the man, but whats presented here is wholly interesting and yet another fine addition to the legacy of Italys great maniac. This is a Blu-ray exclusive.
Next up are a couple interviews with the actors which are also both Blu-ray exclusives. The first, in 1080p HD is the 13-minute Acting Among the Living Dead with Catriona MacColl. MacColl talks about her respect for Fulci and his respect for her, and how she always respected his unwavering vision. She admits to having a tough time coming to terms with the fact that shes become and enduring horror star, but she now embraces it and really admires the craft behind Fulcis pictures. The other interview is with Giovanni Lombardo Radice who shares some stories of how Fulci handled himself on set and how he learned a lot on the production. This runs just shy of a dozen minutes, and is highlighted by Radices energy in telling some anecdotes about a man he considered a great friend.
The last of the Blu-ray exclusives is a crisp and nicely put together HD still gallery. Rather than your usual menu-driven stuff, this is actual HD video with all the artwork presented like stills on a wall in a computer generated tracking shot. It looks really professional. Its amazing all the artistic variations the film had across the world, and each one is quite good. Time to start scouring eBay for a UK quad, methinks. Finally, the trailers, radio spots and still gallery from the original Anchor Bay and Blue Underground DVDs are also included. The trailers have been re-transferred in HD and look pretty damn sharp.
As many extras as there are, though, the Arrow Blu-ray release overseas has that many more, including audio commentaries with MacColl and Radice, interviews with Fulcis daughter, Carlo De Mejo, Luigi Cozzi, screenwriter Dardano Sacchetti and many more. A whole second discs worth. Its tough to really complain, though, since the film has up until now been released without any discernable extras. Its high time that
City of the Living Dead
get the recognition it deserves, and the extras on this are one small step in that direction. Fulci Lives!
Final Thoughts
City of the Living Dead
may get lost in the shuffle when it comes to Fulcis other zombie films like
The Beyond
, but it should not be overlooked. It features some of Fulcis most effective sequences, from the visceral buried alive scene to the operatic finale set in one of the most elaborately decrepit and fantastical sets in the history of horror. As much as the gore hits on a visceral level, Fulci imbues his film with a rather convincing deconstruction of reality, cinema and the god-like powers of the director. Hey, Fulci was never modest, but damned if he didnt earn the right to be full of himself. Theres plenty to laude about this Blu-ray too, be it the amazingly vivid, if over-sharpened picture, the active DTS-HD 7.1 surround remix or the hour worth of new extras. Its great to see Blue Underground back and in the mix with new extras, and they couldnt have picked a better forgotten classic to unearth.
City of the Living Dead
has been buried alive for far too long, and with this fine new disc, its about time it started clawing its way out for respectability. Gore hounds, its a no brainer, literally, and intellectuals, Fulcis themes go a lot deeper than six feet under. Highly recommended.

*Because of the quality of the HD format, the clarity, resolution and color depth are inherently a major leap over DVD. Since any Blu-ray will naturally have better characteristics than DVDs, the rating is therefore only in comparison with other Blu-ray titles, rather than home video in general. So while a Blu-ray film may only get a C, it will likely be much better than a DVD with an A.

Rhett, a person who loves Fulci as much as you do, what do you think about Roger Ebert's opinion about him?

Post: #5
Ebert is a fine critic for his generation, but his major flaw, and the reason (in addition to his ailing health) that he's becoming less and less relevant as a critical mind today, is that he's unable to appreciate new trends or fringe styles. His embarrassing rhetoric on the lack of art in video games is but one example of how he fails to understand that artforms outside of his generation are indeed that. He's approached horror much the same way, and his review for "The Beyond", which is the only I've read of his on Fulci, is so blatantly condescending you can tell he never even gave the film, or the artist, a chance.
Ebert's always been one to point out how the film noirs he grew up with were flippantly dismissed by major critics as B-movie bottom feeders, yet today they are revered as some of the best of cinema. The reason, of course, is that the critics of today, like Ebert, are the same ones that grew up appreciating these noirs from youth. The trend is likely repeating itself now with modern horror films and modern critics, but Ebert's now part of that same old guard he had to fend against coming of age as a critic in the seventies.
Ebert's always had an outdated appreciation towards horror (again, he's used to the Universal monsters he grew up with), and this has been validated time and again by the gory movies he dislikes (The Thing, The Beyond, etc.) and the classical ones he does (Halloween, Alien). It's this close-mindedness that's made him old hat for years, and the reason we should stop talking about him and start talking about more clever, progressive critics like Ed Gonzalez, Nathan Lee, Jonathan Rosenbaum or Armond White.
Can't argue with a confident man.

What Ebert has said in the past is simply shocking in the "not getting it" department. The jaw drops when he rants.
Anyway I did buy the Blu-Ray it indeed it's like seeing it for the first time. The ending always confuses me tho'. I've heard it be said that he ran out of time/money but I don't know.
Regardless of my shortcomings in understanding the ending it's a must buy. The extras in HD are a nice touch.

Rhett, I think you're attributing FAR too much depth to Fulci and this film.
Still, this is by far my favorite non-giallo Fulci film. I've suffered with a bad transfer (LD) on this one for years, and I'll most definitely get this Blu-Ray.

There is far too much going on in Fulci's films, both visually and thematically for them to continually be dismissed as mere gore films as they usually are. His films, good and bad, always have a distinctly Fulcian feel; he's definitely an auteur, and with a vision as strong and long-lasting as his, I'd say he's definitely earned the right to be deconstructed along with other horror auteurs like Carpenter, Argento or Craven. You've got to start somewhere...
Can't argue with a confident man.

I admired Ebert.He always has at the very least a valid point when dissmissing something and I personally couldn't care less about him saying that videogames aren't and couldn't ever be art.That's his opinion.BUT recently he stated in Twitter that people who prefer to play a videogame instead of reading a book are fools.That kind of run of the mill, offensive treatment of myself (I don't like reading books.I just don't have the patience) and of the gamers demographic is just wrong, stupid (people who prefer sports instead of reading are fools too?) and uncalled for.I didn't tell him cause I kinda feel sorry for him.I just unfollow him on Twitter.

Well, I don't dismiss Fulci's films as "mere gore films". (Oh, and for anyone else reading, I will state up front that I absolutely enjoy the work of Lucio Fulci). I do think they're extremely random and meandering though, and while that is often the sign of an auteur, it's also often the sign of someone who is simply making it up as he goes along. And Fulci falls into the latter category for me.
Three things really drive this theory home for me: one is how prolific he was in this time (as Rhett mentions in his review). While the films were certainly well made, they're also unpolished, as you can expect with a release rate like what Fulci achieved. I think he just had several ideas for scenes and scenarios rolling around in his head, and he threw them on screen, regardless of whether or not it fit into the context of the film. Again, I want to emphasize that this does not make Fulci a BAD filmmaker, just an unfocused one.
two, he was still pandering to the popular themes in film at the time. Case in point: Zombie vs. shark. While Rhett believes this was his way of making his films and monsters "bigger than Jaws", it shows he was looking at commercially viable concepts, rather than his own creativity.
finally, the zombie attack in The Beyond was allegedly put in at the request of the German distributor, who wanted a zombie sequence added. Sorry, an "auteur" does not change his vision just for a distributor.
Still, it's nitpicking. Fulci's films are Fulci's films. If you dig 'em (and most of us here do), then who cares? Who cares if he was an auteur, or a guy who made crazy-ass movies with tons of gore and wild scenes? I say he's the latter, and that's good enough for me.

I got rid of all of my contaminated cookware, replacing it with new stuff, and washed everything in the house. His stomach issues have gotten much better, but he's been going through some things. I just want to make sure this is indeed normal and that I'm doing all I can to support him.
- Is always tired and can often sleep for up to 13 hours a day. If I wake him, he feels drained and grouchy.
- Doesn't feel full from a meal unless it has a significant amount of proteins and fats.
- Has mood swings. He often gets angry over small things or seems to go through waves of depression.
- Feels better one day, goes to bed and wakes up feeling worse.
- Doesn't want to exercise or do anything that requires exertion.
- Let him sleep when he needs it.
- Feed him lean meats with some fats (avocado or olive oil) at every meal.
- Plan to encourage him to start taking short walks with me to get more sunlight and light exercise.
- Try to stay positive about everything and do my best not to agitate him when he's feeling grouchy.
- Eat a completely gluten-free diet with him.
I'm just looking for some guidance. I want to do everything I can to help him, and I'm trying to, but I'm just checking that none of it is actually hurting more than helping (letting him sleep, for example).
If it matters, he's in his mid-20's.

Powered by IBS Cloud Solutions
The Internet provides Miele Inc. with a path to higher profits by reducing processing costs and giving its dealers more flexibility
Miele increases productivity with IBS Enterprise.
Miele Inc. is the US subsidiary of the German appliance manufacturer and distributor founded in 1899 that now employs 15,000 people worldwide. In the spirit of the corporate philosophy of 'Immer Besser' (Forever Better), Miele strives to improve existing products and utilize the newest technologies.
Watch this video to hear how IBS software has opened the door to the use of the Internet for even faster dealer and consumer order processing. The web site is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dealers and consumers submit orders at their own convenience. Through ordering online, transaction costs are reduced, and more profit is generated on the bottom line.
Miele was founded in 1899 and is a leading German manufacturer and distributor of domestic appliances, commercial equipment and kitchens. Miele Inc. is the US sales subsidiary of the German appliance manufacturer. In the spirit of the corporate philosophy of 'Immer Besser' (Forever Better), Miele strives to improve existing products and utilize the newest technologies.
Over 120 years have passed and their mantra, Immer Besser (which is translated to Forever Better), continues to represent the guiding principle and backbone of the organization. Immer Besser permeates every aspect of the business from the manufacturing line to the relationship with dealers and most important to the customers.
Today, the family owned company is one of Europe's largest domestic appliance brands.
Miele operates six manufacturing facilities in Germany and one in Austria. The company's high-quality products include cook tops, ovens, dishwashers and vacuum cleaners. Its products are marketed worldwide via numerous subsidiaries and authorized importers. In fact, 64 percent of the company's products are sold outside of Germany.
While the parent company is based in Germany, the US sales subsidiary is situated in New Jersey. Miele's distribution setup consists of seven facilities across the continental United States.
Miele's US dealers must fill their orders within the same day. Replenishment of inventory from manufacturing plants in Germany takes approximately two weeks. To avoid possible stock outs due to high demand, a system solution had to be found. Miele operates in an environment where product quality and durability, coupled with future-proof technology and outstanding after-sales service are the prime purchasing motives for consumer's the world over. At the same time, a noticeable downturn in world economy has resulted in an associated drop in the demand for domestic appliances.
Miele needed a new IT solution that could handle the company's core distribution operation - finance, sales and inventory control. In particular, Miele wanted to ensure product availability while maintaining low inventory levels.
Miele's software selection team consisted of a half a dozen key managers. They evaluated a number of software vendors before selecting IBS supply chain management software based on the IBM System i platform and DB2 Database, IBS Enterprise.
IBS e-business software, IBS Netstore, forms the basis of a web site for Miele's B2 B / B2C sites for both dealers' and customer orders. This has been integrated into Miele's ordering, logistics and information systems. The site provides online ordering capability and real-time information on product availability, pricing and status of orders. IBS Netstore now accounts for handling 50 percent of Miele's appliance and vacuum business over the Internet.
On the procurement side, IBS software aids in forecasting. It gives the user purchase suggestions, which can be edited and turned into purchase orders. When product hits the door, the system prints out reception verification. It also designates a location within the warehouse for put away.
Of special note is the issuance of real-time data on inventory and product availability. When levels are low, a warning appears in the bottom of the screen, along with information as to when the item will be available and how long it will take to reach the warehouse. This feature helps Miele to keep product on hand despite the required lead-time to obtain it.
An IBS project team has been supporting Miele's initiative from the very beginning, making software modifications to suit the company's specialized needs. Miele has a very strong relationship with IBS when it comes to software support.
Miele went through many positive changes after implementation. The product support and knowledge the company received from IBS helped ease it through the radical transition.
The success of the new business software solution at Miele Inc has lead to IBS supply chain software being implemented at Miele subsidiaries in Canada, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Australia.
Despite the shaky world economy and a downturn in the demand for domestic appliances, Miele Inc has experienced a steady growth over the years. IBS software has played an important role in managing this phenomenal growth.
The sales order management software from IBS has streamlined the manner in which US orders flow to the plants in Germany, lessening the need for safety stock. The switch from manual to automated forecasting has enabled Miele to reduce inventory levels. Inventory on hand has been cut from three months to just two.
Miele is now prepared to handle any fluctuation in inventory, from a miniscule rise to doubling demand for the inventory it receives and ships out. IBS software and experience has enabled Miele to better understand how to set up its systems to accommodate a somewhat unpredictable situation.
Customer service has also benefited from the new software. Quick access to information throughout the company and automatic posting to the financial side have improved efficiency.
IBS e-Business software has opened the door to the use of the Internet for even faster dealer and consumer order processing. The web site is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dealers and consumers submit orders at their own convenience. Through ordering online, transaction costs are reduced, and more profit is generated on the bottom line.

I opted for the foot peddle, pulled the control cable back and stored it. My question is can I remove the torch cable cover? The reason is I want more, and smoother control at the torch. Does the cover also work as an insulator too the torch cable?
Lame question I guess, understand that there is current and gas supplied via the torch cable. If the covers only purpose is to provide a way to keep the torch cable and torch control cable together. I wish to remove the cover to get more flexibility at the torch.

I'm talking though my hat cause I'm not intimately familiar with your equipment. "Torch Cable Cover" Are you referring to a protective sleeve over the cable? When you say insulator do you mean electrical or thermal? If this is a protective sleeve it is most likely there to protect against physical injury to the cable. It is not normally conductive so yes it is an electrical insulator but is additional to the needs of the system. It probably is not a good thermal conductor so it may be inclined to keep heat in the system which is disadvantageous since the torch has excess heat to dissipate. Removal should increase flexibility but extra care should be taken to preserve the cables integrity as in don't drop nothing on it. If that doesn't confuse you I can try again. Good luck. And if I completely misunderstood what you meant feel free to say so.
You have it right, and yes I am talking electrically. Sounds like best practice would be to leave it as is, I am not fond of being zapped.
Thank you.Greg

As part of a typical consultation, I may also suggest non-surgical treatments that may include a skin care program, Botox Cosmetic, injectable fillers, laser or light based treatments and body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting and Ultherapy. My staff and I are dedicated to providing the highest level of personal attention to my patients.
Plastic Surgery of the Breast: reconstruction, augmentation and reduction
Facial Rejuvenation: facelift, eyelid and brow lifts
Body Contouring: liposuction, abdominoplasty and body lifts after weight loss
When I meet a patient for the first time I try to emphasize the importance of open communication. I want to know why a patient made their appointment, their concerns, and even their fears. I then explain the available options, both surgical and non-surgical. Ultimately any plan needs to have some flexibility to account for every patient's individuality. Striving to meet every patient's expectations, this comprehensive approach seeks to educate patients on plastic surgery as completely as possible. For some patients, Vectra 3-D Imaging has revolutionized the consultation, allowing us to go from simply trying to imagine surgical results to realistically simulating and previewing them. Whenever possible and practical, this imaging is part of my consultation process too.

UNC Greensboro rides late run to defeat Lady Bucs, 71-60
Saturday, January 11, 2003GREENSBORO, N.C. (Jan. 11, 2003) -- UNC Greensboro used a late run to pull out a 71-60 victory over East Tennessee State in Southern Conference women's basketball action Saturday afternoon from Fleming Gym in Greensboro, N.C. After a first-half that saw six ties, the second-half proved to be no different with six more ties, before junior forward Jessica Lonon (Sylvania, Ga.) gave the Lady Bucs a 56-54 lead with just 5:52 left in regulation. That would prove to be ETSU's final lead as the Spartans put the game away with a 17-4 run to close the game. UNCG (6-6, 2-2 SoCon) was clutch from the free throw line down the stretch. The Spartans hit 9-of-10 from the line during the 17-1 run and finished the ballgame 19-of-23, good for 82.6%. Free throw shooting haunted the Spartans in each of their two previous conference losses. UNCG failed to shoot 60% from the charity stripe in both of those outings. Nicole Murray rounded out the double figure scorers with 11 points. Similar to Reed, Murray was all over the court. The senior guard grabbed seven rebounds, dished out five assists and added three steals. Kellan Law collected a career-high 10 rebounds and added some critical free throws toward the end of the game. UNCG also got solid performances from Megan Honeycutt and Ashley Current off the bench. Honeycutt scored six points in 17-minutes, while Current grabbed six rebounds in 16-minutes. ETSU (3-10, 0-4 SoCon) struggled from the field the entire afternoon. The Lady Bucs shot just 29.3% from the floor (22-for-75), but stayed in the game thanks to 24 offensive rebounds. Junior forward Lauren Trantham grabbed 17 rebounds, including seven on the offensive end, while sophomore forward Tiffani Mayes (Sumter, S.C.) added 12 boards, five on the offensive glass. The Spartans finally started to knock down some shots in the second-half. After shooting just 31% (9-for-29) in the opening half, UNCG shot 44.1% (15-for-34) in the second stanza. UNCG also did a better job on the boards in the final 20-minutes. The Spartans, which were out rebounded by seven in the first-half, turned it around, out rebounding ETSU, 30-22 after halftime. ETSU and UNCG exchanged baskets over the first seven minutes, but the Lady Bucs put together an 8-0 run to grab an 18-10 lead with 10:24 remaining in the opening half. The Spartans responded with a 15-3 spurt, taking a 25-21 lead at the 5:15 mark. ETSU dominated the boards in the opening-half. The Lady Bucs had a 28-21 advantage on the glass, including 12-5 on the offensive side. Trantham spearheaded the effort, collecting 10 in the first-half. ETSU used the effort, especially late in the first-half, to climb even by intermission, 29-29. Senior guard Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.) led ETSU with 17 points, while freshman guard Adrienne Walker (Augusta, Ga.) scored 13 points. Trantham added nine points, while Lonon picked up eight points off the bench. UNCG's Amanda Eaton, who led all scorers with 20 points, was 7-for-14 from the field, 2-for-7 from 3-point territory and 4-of-5 from the free throw line. Spartan Lindsey Reed was 7-for-11 from the floor and 3-of-4 from the charity stripe. In addition to her 20 points and 13 rebounds, Reed added two steals, three assists and three blocks. "I was very pleased with our intensity level at the beginning of the game," said ETSU head coach Karen Kemp following the game. "We were not able to connect on easy buckets. You can't shoot 29% from the field on the road and expect to win." East Tennessee State returns to action on Monday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. against Western Carolina from Memorial Center. The game is the first of a double-header with the ETSU men playing College of Charleston in the nightcap.

VIDEO: Inferno In Quebec Town When Train Explodes
Originally published on Sat July 6, 2013 5:13 pm
At least one person has died, CTV News reports, after a freight train pulling tank cars full of crude oil exploded early Saturday in a small Quebec town about 160 miles east of Montreal.
Authorities confirmed the fatality, CTV News says, "describing the crash site as a 'war zone.' " In a news briefing, authorities did not report other injuries.
Our Original Post And Updates:
It's hoped that those now feared missing might have been out of town.
According to The Montreal Gazette:
"The train that careened into the center of town in Lac Mégantic early Saturday morning was unmanned when it derailed and exploded in a huge ball of flame, says a spokesperson for the company that owned the locomotive.
"Joseph R. McGonigle confirmed to The Gazette early Saturday afternoon that shortly before midnight, the train's conductor stopped in nearby Nantes, locked the brakes and checked to ensure that the rail cars carrying thousands of liters of crude oil were all securely attached.
" 'Sometime after (the first conductor left), the train got loose,' said McGonigle. ... The locomotive portion of the 73-car train actually detached half a mile outside of the small town, he added, but the cars carrying the oil kept right on rolling."
CBC News says that "witnesses reported between four and six explosions overnight in the town of about 6,000 people. The derailment happened at about 1 a.m. ET. ... It is not yet known if there are any casualties, but according to Radio-Canada 60 people have been reported missing."
Update at 5:08 p.m. ET. One Fatality Reported:
Police say one person has died in the accident, CBC News reports. The agency says Prime Minister Stephen Harper has issued a statement:
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those affected by this morning's tragic train derailment. We hope evacuees can return to their homes safely and quickly."

For those of you who believe that wedding season is reserved for warmer weather, we dare you to take one look at our mailbox (as in the physical one that holds letters, not our email!). We're swimming in save-the-dates and up to our necks in invites — and most of 'em are taking place before Memorial Day weekend. Since SoCal gals are so accustomed to the dress-sandals-clutch combo, we realize that these cooler temps can have you looking at your wardrobe and thinking, "uh oh"
Back by popular demand, we're here to help switch it up with a few lovely layers that are practical (and entirely appropriate) for five different wedding venues. A sleek leather jacket gives a party frock more polish, and that scarf will come in handy once the sun starts to set in Ojai. Just remember: You're supposed to get goose bumps when the bride walks down the aisle — not from the brisk winds, so plan according!

The formal SAGES capstone program is based on courses offered by individual academic departments within the university. These courses may vary widely in nature, as deemed appropriate for various disciplines by the department offering each course. Some SAGES capstone courses will involve individual research while others are based on group design projects. Some courses may be similar to an advanced seminar while others will require live performances or other creative endeavors. In some courses, faculty will define the topic on which a course is based while other courses will provide students the option - or even the requirement - of doing work based on their own ideas. There are, however, some unifying principles for all SAGES capstones. Across the university, SAGES capstones must include:
- Critical thinking on the part of the student.
- Clear goals with an appropriate plan of action.
- Regular oversight by the project adviser.
- Periodic reporting of progress.
- Regular writing (e.g. drafts, progress reports, critiques) throughout the project including a final written report which may be a thesis or equivalent document associated with the project or activity, (e.g., such pursuits as performance, experiment, live case analysis, or creative writing), as approved by the department of capstone origin.
- A public presentation at the Senior Capstone Fair, a conference, a performance, a public lecture, a teaching presentation, or other, as approved by the department of capstone origin.

Okay, so it happened. Our blog has been silent for six-months, and despite what we tell our clients about planning and teamwork and the importance of keeping momentum, we blew it. It took a potential client who decided not to talk to us because our social media had "flat-lined" to be hit over the head with it.
If a social media marketing firm can't keep it going, then who can? Our reasons (excuses) are the same you might have- lack of resources, clients come first, and always a lack of time. We have no shortage of ideas, and we have always had a sustainable content strategy, but we lost our way.
When we started this blog in 2008, we posted twice/week, then went down to once/week, and finally, maybe more like once/month. I assigned writers from the internal team, I found guest bloggers occasionally, but in the end, it fell to me, the face and voice of the company, to get it done. Today, when I heard that the prospect passed on us, I was truly humbled. Our ability to keep their content going for the long-term is brought into question. I could only agree with their decision to pass.
Now that I have confessed, what can I do about it? How can we redeem ourselves and build trust for new clients to see? The only way I know how: own it and make good on it.
So, as I drove back to the office to write this post, I decided to use this learning experience for a series of posts that help marketing professionals keep on track.
I plan to address the following:
- How can I make sure this doesn't happen again?
- What have other companies done and have they regained their position?
- What are realistic goals for small shops?
- Why you MUST get back on the horse.
If you have a story to share, contact me. I'd love to hear it.
Now, finally, I am going to push the publish button and finally get back on the horse.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
Venera 12 was the identical sister craft to Venera 11. Launched successfully towards Venus, the spacecraft performed two midcourse corrections on 21 September and 14 December 1978. As with its twin, two days prior to the planetary encounter, the flyby probe released its lander.
On 21 December, the lander entered the Venusian atmosphere at a velocity of 11.2 kilometers per second and performed a descent profile almost identical to that of the earlier Veneras 9 and 10 in 1975.
The lander safely touched down at 03:30 UT on 21 December 1978 after a descent lasting about an hour. Landing coordinates were 7° south latitude and 294° longitude, about 800 kilometers from its twin.
From the ground, the probe relayed data for a record 110 minutes, although like Venera 11, the spacecraft suffered two major failures: its soil sample delivery instrument failed to deposit the soil appropriately for scientific analysis; and lens covers on the imaging system failed to release, effectively rendering the color imaging system useless.
The flyby probe passed by the planet at a range of 35,000 kilometers after performing its data transmission mission and then entered heliocentric orbit.
