ARRI SkyPanel S60-C LED
Rental price
(First day rental rate)
ARRI continues to broaden their LED line and reaffirm their commitment to accurate color rendering with the introduction of the SkyPanel S60-C LED Softlight. Supported by a steel yoke, the panel surface area measures 25.4 x 11.8" and employs interchangeable thermoplastic diffusers that range from Lite to Heavy to soften the light and wrap its output around your subject.
The SkyPort outputs the equivalent of a 2,000W tungsten soft light while drawing a maximum of only 450W.
Using technology originally designed for the L7-C Fresnel, the SkyPanel S60-C is fully color "tuneable" allowing output of a warm 2,800K to icy blue 10,000K light and also uses the full RGB+W color gamut with hue and saturation control for fine adjustments. Full Minusgreen to Full Plusgreen is also possible, so if you're lighting for blue or greenscreen, you can simply dial your color chosen in. This wide degree of control is responsible for a very high CRI of 95 and a rating of 90 with the newer TLCI standard. All of these functions as well as 0-100% dimming can be adjusted locally with the SkyPanel's onboard controller or remotely via DMX or a LAN. Besides inputs and outputs appropriate to these functions, the light also has a USB-A port for downloading firmware upgrades from a thumb drive, PC or Mac.
The SkyPanel S60-C can be used worldwide, thanks to its included 90-250 VAC power supply but it can also use optional 23-36 VDC batteries when mains power is unavailable. Besides the power supply, the light comes with a Junior (1-1/8") pin and a standard diffuser. This version of the light has a manual yoke and comes with an Edison power cord.
Fully Tuneable, Precise Color Rendering:
Incorporating features of ARRI's successful L-Series LED Fresnels, the SkyPanel is one of the most versatile soft lights on the market, as well as one of the brightest. Like the L-Series, SkyPanel "C" (Color) versions are fully tuneable, meaning that correlated color temperature is adjustable between 2,800K and 10,000K, with accurate color rendition over the entire range. Full plus and minus green correction can be achieved with the simple turn of a knob, and in addition to CCT control, vivid color selection and saturation adjustment is also possible. Applications for this controllability range from quickly adjusting the CCT to set the mood of a scene, to selecting the chroma green output for green screen color keying. Each LED light engine is computer calibrated in order to ensure unit-to-unit and batch-to-batch consistency, as well as accurate color temperatures.
True Soft Light Beam Quality:
Soft lights are known for their smooth quality of light and even, uniform beam field. SkyPanel's combination of a precise selection of diffusion panels, LED mixing chamber and large surface area allow for the light output to wrap around objects, eliminating sharp shadows and making for an ideal beauty light. The beam field is homogeneous in both color and intensity.
Natural Shadow Rendition:
Mixing some 2,000 calibrated red, green, blue and white LEDs into one homogeneous beam of soft light, the SkyPanel produces not just impressive light quality, but excellent shadow rendering as well. The soft shadows cut cleanly without exhibiting multiple edges or color fringing.
Versatility Built-In:
While the SkyPanel was designed to be used primarily as a soft light to illuminate people, various built-in features make it extremely adaptable to other uses. The diffuser panels on the front of the lamp head are interchangeable, so going from the Heavy to the Lite diffusion panel can be done in a matter of seconds. With the onboard battery input, SkyPanel can be run off industry-standard batteries. The S60 can be operated at up to 50% of its total power on battery power The SkyPanel also makes an effective space light outputting a large downward-directed pool of color controllable soft light through an optional silk cylinder.
Built to Last:
Made in Germany to ARRI standards, the SkyPanel is constructed from resilient materials and assembled by hand. The combination of an aluminum core with fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastics results in a solid fixture that can withstand heavy daily use on busy film sets. The easily-serviced electronics have been designed to last beyond a minimum of 25,000, up to a maximum of 50,000 hours while the LED light engine even allows for recalibration.
Highly Controllable:
The SkyPanel user interface is designed for ease of use with a wide range of controls available to the user. Three simple knobs adjust the color temperature, green/magenta balance, light intensity and hue and saturation instantly. In addition to the on-board controls, all functions can be remotely adjusted via DMX or LAN network connections.

IBM::LoadLeveler is a Perl interface to the IBM LoadLeveler work load management system. Documentation on the system can be found at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clresctr/topic/com.ibm.cluster.loadl.doc/llbooks.html. The module is not for the faint hearted, the Data Access API can return several hundered parameters, I strongly advise you print out the IBM documentation, especially the very useful "LoadLeveler Job Object Model" diagram.
A simple example of using this module is shown below, it uses the Data Access API to get the submit time of all jobs in the system.:
use IBM::LoadLeveler; # Query Job information $query = ll_query(JOBS); # Ask for all data on all jobs $return=ll_set_request($query,QUERY_ALL,undef,ALL_DATA); if ($return != 0 ) { print STDERR "ll_set_request failed Return = $return\n"; } # Query the scheduler for information # $number will contain the number of objects returned $job=ll_get_objs($query,LL_CM,NULL,$number,$err); while ( $job) { # Get the Job submit time $SubmitTime=ll_get_data($job,LL_JobSubmitTime); $job=ll_next_obj($query); } # Free up space allocated by LoadLeveler to hold the job object ll_free_objs($job); # Free up space used by the Query Object ll_deallocate($query);
The module currently supports the following APIs:
This version has been "tested" with under quite a few versions of LoadLeveler from 22.214.171.124 to 220.127.116.11 under AIX, Linux and pLinux also thanks to SDSC it has been tested on Blue Gene. The coverage of the test suite however is not very good.
Since LoadLeveler does not change the version number in the llapi.h file a crude hack is used to work out what version is installed and only include the appropriate functions and enum values. If your compile starts spitting out errors like:
"LoadLeveler.xs", line 3459.22: 1506-045 (S) Undeclared identifier WCLIMIT_ADD_MIN. "LoadLeveler.xs", line 3459.22: 1506-051 (S) Case expression must be a valid integral constant.
Then the hack has probably not worked and you will either need to either fix the Makefile.PL file or hardcode a value for the LLVER variable:
3.1 : 3010000 3.2 : 3020000
The parameters to ll_get_data expand with most revisions, I believe this list is reasonably accurate, but there are problems with it. IBM does at times back port functionality, so some parameters seem to bounce in and out of the llapi.h at random. LL_StepDependency is a good example, it is in versions 22.214.171.124, 126.96.36.199, 22.214.171.124, 184.108.40.206, 126.96.36.199 & 184.108.40.206+.
The module relies on the llapi.h file supplied with LoadLeveler for definitions of constants. The make file automatically processes the llapi.h file into a llapi.ph file and installs it as part of the build process.
You might need to edit Makefile.PL to change the value of $LoadL to point to where LoadLeveler is installed
Standard build/installation supported by ExtUtils::MakeMaker(3)…
perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
To convert the pod documentation (what there is of it) to html:
make html
The module ships with a defs.h.in file which it process to get a defs.h file which contains all the Data Access API definitions. The llapi.h file on your system will be different from the ones used to generate the definitions file, the processing will remove definitions not found in the system llapi.h file and suggest adding new ones it has found. This results in output like:
> perl Makefile.PL Building for version 3040101 on Linux Building list of current ll_get_data specifications Generating new definitions array defs.h.in has the following definitions not seen in your system llapi.h file. They have been removed from defs.h: [LL_AdapterMinWindowSize] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_MachineCpuList] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_ColumnStepNames] = LL_CHAR_STAR_STAR_STAR, [LL_MatrixTimeSlice] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_ClassNqsQuery] = LL_CHAR_STAR_STAR_STAR, [LL_MatrixColumnCount] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_ColumnMachineName] = LL_CHAR_STAR_STAR, [LL_AdapterMaxWindowSize] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_ClassExecutionFactor] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_AdapterMemory] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_StepExecutionFactor] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_AdapterUsageWindowMemory] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_ColumnProcessorNumber] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_ClassNqsSubmit] = LL_CHAR_STAR_STAR, [LL_MatrixGetNextColumn] = LL_LL_ELEMENT_STAR, [LL_ColumnRowCount] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_MatrixRowCount] = LL_INT_STAR, [LL_MatrixGetFirstColumn] = LL_LL_ELEMENT_STAR, [LL_ClassNqsClass] = LL_INT_STAR, Writing Makefile for IBM::LoadLeveler
The libllapi distributed for Linux on PowerPC architectures is 64 bit, typically the perl distributed is 32 bits. This isn't good, to use this module you will need to build a 64 bit version of perl. This has worked for me:
sh Configure -Accflags='-q64' -Dcc='xlc' \ -Aldflags='-q64' -Alddlflags='-G -q64' \ -Adefine:libs='-lnsl -lgdbm -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc' \ -Doptimize='-O2' -des make make install PERLNAME=perl64
The libs definition was simply to remove the 32 bit -ldb that was discovered but couldn't be used. Several of the other libraries are not essential, if you don't have them don't include them, Perl just won't build modules that need them.
If you want or need to build it somewhere other than the default then add
-Dprefix=/path to the Configure line.
ll_get_data has a whole set of 64 bit return types if you are in 32 bit mode then LoadLeveler will truncate them to 32 bits.
See APAR IY48329
This does not return some values, eg LL_StepState always returns 0. If your scheduler type is GANG then you don't get any results at all.
This module has been observed to crash when given a history file of >92MB and <132MB ( the killer value is probably 128MB ).
The solution is to increase the bmaxdata value of the Perl executable. If you are using the installp version of perl it is recommended to copy the executable to another directory, and modify using ldedit to increase the number of data segments.
cp /usr/opt/perl/bin/perl /global/bin/llperl /usr/bin/ldedit -o bmaxdata:0x20000000 /global/bin/llperl
Then modify any scripts that have exhibited this behaviour to use the new executable. If this fails then increase the bmaxdata value until successful.
I would like to thank:

Though places like Kos, Crete and Rhodes steal the headlines when it comes to Greek party islands, holidays to Skiathos can more than hold their own. Those looking to paint the town red on a Greek island holiday should stick to Skiathos Town itself, where bars and nightclubs dominate the waterfront and the Old Town. Elsewhere on the island, more romantic and relaxed evenings can be had in the many seaside tavernas scattered all over Skiathos, or in the handful of beach bars which stay open a bit later down in Koukounaries. There's also the open-air cinema in Skiathos Town, a great place to shovel popcorn and take in a blockbuster under a canopy of twinkling stars.
Whether you're looking for a place to watch the big match or some great tunes to let your hair down to, Phedrock is a safe choice. Newly renovated, the bar is a mixing pot of all ages and cultures, and it's easy to see what brings people here – Phedros himself. The owner is such a friendly man he keeps locals and tourists alike coming back for more.
This live music hotspot is a great place to watch and listen to some impromptu entertainment thanks to owners that treat their music with just the right blend of seriousness and frivolity. Guy – the blind dog from which the bar earns its name – often joins in with the musical renditions, completing an unforgettable experience.
Positioned right on the marina, Suga Cafe Bar is the perfect spot to enjoy an evening cocktail and watch the sun go down behind the masts of the many yachts which crowd the harbour. Though its prices might be slightly higher than elsewhere, the care and attention which goes into the preparation of your drinks makes it worthwhile – and if you visit during happy hour, you'll be laughing all the way to the bar.
In the island's capital, the liveliest hotspot is to be found at Banana Beach on the south-western coast at Koukounaries. Enjoying a prime location right on the strand, Kahlua Beach Bar offers up a delightful venue to bring in the dawn with a few icy cold beers or exquisitely-prepared cocktails. The eclectic soundtrack is at once laid-back and lively, offering something to keep all musical tastes satisfied until the early hours.
Situated a little further back from the beachfront, what Agustera lacks in location it more than makes up for in atmosphere. The proprietors Dino and Effie make a point of ingratiating themselves with all-comers to the bar, while their superb sense of humour will ensure you enjoy a rip-roaring night. Open until 2am during high season.

Italy: A tourist was fined nearly $500 after urinating at the top of the historic Florence Cathedral. The man, who was caught after relieving himself in a porter's lodge in the dome, was reported by police, who gave him the ticket afterward. Although there are no restrooms at the top of the dome, it's wise to plan ahead.
Mexico: In what easily could have been categorized as a "Darwin Award," an American tourist climbed a barbed wire fence into a clearly restricted area and was attacked by a crocodile. The enclosed area near the Iberostar Hotel Golf Course in Cancun was marked as off limits, yet the 27-year-old drunken man ignored the warnings and was subsequently bitten in the leg and hand. We could suggest that tourists take all warning signs seriously, but that likely would do no good in cases like this.
England: Extremely high levels of pollen are expected to cause millions of hay fever cases in coming weeks, particularly in the south. Pollen levels increase with warm, dry weather and light breezes and are expected to decrease in mid-July. Although hay fever rarely causes symptoms more serious than itchy eyes and throat and runny nose, it can make enjoying tourist activities difficult. Travelers may want to consider stocking up allergy medication before visiting.
Greece: Some tourist operators are advising travelers to carry large sums of cash in the event that banks run out of money or close while the government awaits deals with the European Union to address the national debt. On the other hand, many hoteliers say tourists need not carry extra cash and should be aware of security risks when doing so. Either way, possible bank closures and any capital restrictions won't happen overnight, and travelers should have plenty of advance notice. Tourists, however, should follow developments on the Greek financial crisis before or during travel to Greece.
India: More than 100 people died after drinking cheap liquor in the Mumbai area, and several others have been hospitalized in critical condition. Most of the deaths were reported after drinking bootleg alcohol in Mumbai's Malad suburb. Tourists should avoid drinking cheap alcohol while visiting the city, as illegally manufactured booze is common in areas where vendors do not have appropriate licenses for brewing or serving alcoholic beverages. As a result, the drinks often contain dangerous chemicals or pesticides.

Top Ten Best Metal Albums Between 1970 and 1992Illuminati323 These are the ten best metal albums from 1970-1992.
The Top Ten
It offered nothing musically to any kind of metal genre and it was the start of the 'rong' direction of Megadeth.
Megadeth is one of metal's most respected bands. Any one of their albums could have made this list, (other than Risk), but 1990's Rust In Peace is Megadeth at their finest. - Illuminati323
This has to be at the top! My favorite album of all time. - winner333
Definitely the best (although not my favourite).
With tracks like Iron Man, War Pigs, and the title track, it's easy to see why this is my number one. There's just something about this album, like everything fits together. Sure, there are bands today that are more "brutal" or "extreme", but Black Sabbath was the band that started it all. - Illuminati323
Another "master"piece album released in 1986, Metallica's third album is a thrash metal classic with plenty of great songs. These include Battery, the title track, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and Disposable Heroes. While 1983's Kill Em All and 1984's Ride The Lightning are both great, I ultimately chose this one. - Illuminati323
The origins of Cliff Burton should remain, he's such a good player in this album.
Pantera changed the face of metal in 1992 when this album came out. Bringing the blues back into metal, this album showcases groove-based rhythms and awesome guitar work. - Illuminati323
Don't get me wrong, Iron Maiden is great, but they are kind of overrated. That being said, this record is fantastic with tracks like: Run To The Hills, the title track, and Hallowed Be Thy Name. - Illuminati323
Slayer. Enough said. Well, not quite. This album is thrash metal at it's heaviest, fastest, and most raw. For 1986, it was pretty crazy. Standout tracks: Angel Of Death, Postmortem, Raining Blood. - Illuminati323
Home to the iconic Smoke On The Water, Deep Purple's 1972 album is a classic. It isn't exactly metal by today's standards, but in the early 70s it was a bit heavier than most of the rock around at that time. - Illuminati323
Judas Priest is rather underrated considering the achievements they have made for this genre. They basically made metal what it is today. 1978's Stained Class is also a classic, but with songs like Breaking The Law and Living After Midnight, this was the one I had to go with. - Illuminati323
Death is basically the first death metal band, and they have had some great albums. Though Leprosy and Scream Bloody Gore are also worth mentioning, Human is their magnum opus. With songs like Lack Of Comprehension, it's hard to see why not. - Illuminati323
The Contenders
Should be in the top 10.
To close off our list, we have Brazilian thrash band Sepultura's 1989 album Beneath The Remains. The title track and Inner Self are awesome songs, and the guitar tone is killer. 1991's Arise is also worth mentioning. - Illuminati323
The album that started it all.

Being part of Duns Reiver Week is an amazing experience like no other, the summer festival chairman said this week.
Ann Lindsay was speaking just days before the 2017 event begins, saying that everyone involved had already done themselves and their town proud.
The 2017 Duns Summer Festival will run from Sunday, July 2, to Saturday July 8, with the Kirkin O' Reiver at Duns Parish Church taking place on the first day.
The ceremony will kick off a week of sports, ridings, games and concerts to uphold a tradition that has run almost every year since 1949.
Serving her third year as chairman, Ms Lindsay said: "Everyone is getting very excited and we are busy with some final preparations.
"The bunting is going up and we are confirming insurances and road closures, checking itineraries and putting programmes out in the town.
"Being a principal in Reiver's Week is an amazing experience – I was a principal myself in 2004. You make great friends and you never lose those friends because they become like your family.
"You spend every weekend with them from the installation in April to the last festival in August; it's an amazing feeling.
"You also give pride to your family. The pride they feel because you are involved is as much as the children and young people feel.
"That feeling of pride and the memories that they make is something that will stay with them and they can always look back on.
"It's a dream come true."
The 2017 Reiver Josh Herbert said he is honoured at his election but also thrilled to be following his aunt, Jennifer Turner, who was Reiver's Lass in 1999.
Josh said: "I am honoured to have the privilege to be elected as Reiver for 2017 and I would like to thank Duns Summer Festival and the Ex-Reivers Association for this opportunity.
"Last year has flown by but what a blast I had!
"I had an amazing time as Right Hand Man supporting Euan and Jade alongside my Lass Melissa while we were in our home town and out visiting the other Border towns.
"The friends and the memories we made means it will be a year I will never forget.
"I have always enjoyed watching and being involved in Reiver's Week from a very young age.
"Being in the Reiver's party is something every kid wants to do when they grow up and following in my auntie's footsteps will make this even more of a year to remember."
Reiver's Lass 2017 Melissa Redpath: "Being selected as Reiver's Lass for 2017 is both a privilege and a dream come true.
"Ever since I rode for the first time in Reiver's Week aged five, I have always hoped to some day be honoured with the position. I would like to thank the Duns Summer Festival for allowing me to do so, as well as for all the support they have provided.
"I would like to take this opportunity to wish Josh, Nicolle, the Wynsome Mayde and her maydes as well as the people of Duns a fantastic Reiver's Week and thank you for your support."
Wynsome Mayde O'Dunse 2017, 11-year-old Edith Stuart is also looking forward to the week ahead.
She said: "I am really excited to be this year's Wynsome Mayde because my older sister was the crown bearer when she was in Primary 7. I remember all the fun and excitement.
"I'm excited to be crowned by Mrs Rhona Burchick as she taught my sister at school."
Highlights of the week's festivities include the crowning of the Wynsome Mayde on Monday in Duns Public Park followed by the first ride out and the ever-popular bed race.
On Tuesday, the teddy bear's picnic will take place in the Volunteer Hall, followed by the tea dance.
The ride out to Duns Law will take place on Tuesday evening followed by a ceilidh in Volunteer Hall.
Wednesday will involve a visit to Duns Castle and the ride out to Gavinton, while the Duns ex-Reivers duck race will be held at Langton Mill at 6pm.
On Thursday, the Reiver, Lass, Attendant and followers will ride out to Longformacus followed by the formal Reiver dinner and ball in the evening.
Friday will bring the Duns and District Photographic Exhibition in Duns Parish Church Hall followed by the hand ba' competition between the over 25s and the under 25s men.
Chairman Ms Lindsay added: "We're very excited for an amazing week.
"Everyone has worked their socks off and everything they have done they have done it with passion."

An exciting announcement coming to Multidimensional-Music.net! I am currently submerging myself in a particular beat that I am passionate about and want to fully envelope myself within: the international music beat.
Being in New York City, this is THE place for stars from across the globe to try and hit. There's too much great music and musicians that don't get noticed stateside to go unnoticed. Multidimensional-Music has always posted about international stars, but now we're going to get deeper.
With some big exciting projects I'm taking on solely myself, that may or may not be published in a big publication, the artists I'm meeting, the events I'm witnessing, and the information I'm learning is too good to keep to myself.
THUS, why I bring you the International Music Project that I will be posting my hourly/daily/weekly findings and commentary on international music stars trying to break into the US; specifically looking at their efforts in New York.
By just being on this site more and more often I will be posting more original posts as well as my commentary and findings from this specific beat.
As you can see from the photo above, check out a (slightly unfortunate) photo of Girls Aloud main vocalist Nadine Coyle and I. Most information about that experience coming at you soon!
Stay tuned…

Wow! A Saturday post! 😉 I usually like to collect
my photos on the weekends and post on the weekdays, HOWEVER, this was too awesome to wait!
I noticed this little donation from Mother Nature on the side of my house last year! I didn't see any in the past, however, it was April 9th when I had discovered them last year. Way later than this year. I hope this is a good sign that things will progress a bit faster this year! Mr. Groundhog is hopefully right.

Zverev and Cilic up and running as Sock shocked at Flushing Meadows
Alexander Zverev began his quest to make a major breakthrough at the US Open with a tough victory over qualifier Darian King, while Marin Cilic is also up and running in New York.
With Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray absent from the year's final grand slam, Roger Federer struggling with injury and Rafael Nadal's form on the hard courts patchy, fourth seed Zverev is being tipped for glory in the Big Apple.
And the German showed his battling qualities in a first round that produced wins for 2014 champion Marin Cilic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, but saw home hope Jack Sock bite the dust.
It was not the most straight-forward of outings for Zverev, who has won titles in Washington and Montreal in the build-up, but he eventually prevailed 7-6 (11-9) 7-5 6-4 against a plucky King.
Zverev, who has never gone beyond round two in New York, chalked up 62 errors but showed his composure in a match that went beyond 2am local time.
Borna Coric is next up for the German.
As we tick past 2am, Sascha Zverev finally runs away with a tough first round win against Darian King: https://t.co/AvV38jut2y#USOpenpic.twitter.com/Zp101bDhLA-- US Open Tennis (@usopen) August 29, 2017
Cilic, a finalist at Wimbledon this year, returned to the location of his greatest triumph and overcame American Tennys Sandgren 6-4 6-3 3-6 6-3.
Seeded fifth for the tournament, Cilic showed little sign of the adductor injury that sidelined him for the Montreal and Cincinnati Masters as he hit 55 winners and 11 aces in two hours, 47 minutes.
"Everything feels okay physically," said Cilic, who will face Florian Mayer in the second round. "I'm very happy with that. That's the number one thing. It was a good fight towards the end of the match. Also I was not running away to try to shorten up the points. I was actually feeling that could be also quite good for me to get in some rallies, battle it out, just mentally-wise to get myself in a good position."
Seeds John Isner, Sam Querrey, Gilles Muller, Kevin Anderson, Lucas Pouille, Albert Ramos-Vinolas, Pablo Carreno Busta and Diego Schwartzman also progressed.
However, two-time semi-finalist David Ferrer (27) was beaten in four sets by Mikhail Kukushkin and Robin Haase (32) fell to Britain's Kyle Edmund.
It took three hours, 56 minutes but Aussie Jordan Thompson prevailed 6-2 7-6 (14-12)1-6 5-7 6-4 against 13th seed Sock.
Sock rallied from 5-4 down and saved two matches points to force a deciding fifth set.
But Thompson - who claimed his first win at Flushing Meadows - regained his composure to trump Sock for the second time this year, having shocked the American during the Davis Cup in Brisbane.
After dropping the 3rd and 4th sets and down a break in the 5th, @jordanthommmo2 claws his way back to defeat Sock.#USOpenpic.twitter.com/yZfoenJ5jq-- US Open Tennis (@usopen) August 29, 2017
French eighth seed Tsonga made light work of Marius Copil 6-3 6-3 6-4.
At a jampacked Court 17, three-time US Open quarter-finalist Tsonga was a class above as he hit 29 winners against the Romanian.
Following the withdrawal of second seed Andy Murray, the draw has opened up for Tsonga, who next plays Canadian sensation Denis Shapovalov.
Shapovalov announced himself with wins over Juan Martin del Potro and Rafael Nadal en route to the semi-finals of the Montreal Masters.
And the 18-year-old showcased his talented as he made his US Open debut, defeating Daniil Medvedev 7-5 6-1 6-2.

Movie Horses and Production Companies
We provide movie horses for movie production companies. We also offer horse and rider extras for production companies with transportation, wrangling, stunt riding and we even supply farm animal extras. If you are with a production company looking for extras then you are in the right place for movie horses.
We work with production companies to come up with the right combination of movie horses and the right skill level for horse and rider extras. We understand our production customers need to ensure their project comes in on time and on budget, while maintaining the quality of the extras and movie horses.
Movie Horses and Farm Animals
We maintain high quality standards for our movie horses. Our horses are well cared for and we also provide wranglers to assist the cast and crew handling the horses. We only use safe professional transportation for our horses.
Our movie horses are highly trained. Our horses are quiet and responsive in high volume traffic and loud city noise. Movie horses are trained with western riding, English riding and bareback. Some of our horses are very skilled in jumping, stunts and trick riding. Like humans, horses have different levels of skill, especially when it comes to movie horses.
As you can see by our website we also provide farm animals for those quaint farm scenes. Like our movie horses we always maintain a high living standard for our farm animals. With our farm animals you can expect the same level of safety and care as we provide for our movie horses.
Horse and Rider Extras
Every production project is unique and requires a different combination of movie horses. A horse for a background scene requires a lot less training than a horse doing jumping scenes. We realize production companies run tight budgets so we match the horse to the skill level required. Our rates vary with the skill levels of our movie horses.
We have some phenomenal riders available in different heights and sizes. The part of a movie horse in a production usually determines the skill levels of rider extras. Of course we also strive to match the body type and size of the rider.
We quote on your needs
We base our quotes on the specific project requirements of our production company clients. To discuss your needs further, call, schedule a call back or request a quote on rider extras and movie horses.

Tbilisi, Georgia: National Geographic's top travel pick
National Geographic named Tbilisi, Georgia as one of the top travel destinations of 2018.
Katskhi pillar
In modern day Georgia a monk of the Orthodox Church, Fr. Maxim, is restoring with aid from local villagers a small 1200 year old monastic chapel on top of Katskhi Pillar. The pillar is a natural rock formation jutting upwards from the ground to a height of approximately one hundred forty feet. It was known to be used by stylites as late as the 15th century when foreign occupation by the Islamic Ottoman Empire brought an end to the practice. Upon completion Fr. Maxim hopes to take up residence on top of Katskhi as a stylite monk.

Chiatura in Photos and Animations by François Beaurain
French photographer François Beaurain visited the small town of Chiatura back in 2014. He brought back the essence of the town, captured in photographs and animations.
"Chiatura is located in western Georgia and is well known for its huge manganese deposit and its extensive cable car network transporting miners and ore up and down the valley. All the infrastucture was built during the soviet times and has been barely refurbished since. Chiatura seems trapped in time, like the workers who are also trapped to their machines, endlessly repeating the same gesture."

Trip to The Trinity Church, Gergeti
Hidden by the spectacular peak of Mount Kazbek, the Holy Trinity Church is unique Georgian sightseeing. The Trinity Church was built in the 14th century. It lays at over 7200 feet above sea level. In times of war, the church served as a safe place to hide the country's most valuable objects. Later on, religious activities were forbidden by the Soviets, but even so, The Trinity Church was visited by many people every year.
Today, its one of the most visited places in Georgia. Located only just about 130 miles from the capital Tbilisi, Holy Trinity Church is a must see. So, even if you are visiting for just a couple of days, take a tour to Kazbegi and you wont be disappointed.
Photo mmsug
Most tourists, who choose to visit this place start off in Tbilisi. Usually, the first stop is just in 45 minutes drive away; Ananuri fortress. This 16-17 century building stands by Aragvi river and is surrounded by mountains, so it's definitely one of the most scenic castles.

The ancient cave town Uplistsikhe
Located just an hour away from the Georgian capital Tbilisi, Uplistsikhe fortress is one of the ancient cave towns in Georgia. Uplistsikhe is translated as "Lord's fortress". However, in pagan times Uplos was the local tribal leader and it is thought, that he built the fortress; as a demonstration of power. So, it has nothing to do with religion. According to the legend, the city was built by slaves. Their axes were made of half iron and half gold. So, if a slave worked hard and his axe's iron was worn-out, he was gifted the gold and freedom.
The city consists of a diverse architecture, dating from the Early Iron Age to the Late Middle Ages. And like in any other town, there were variety of buildings for religious, social, governmental and other uses. So, Uplistsikhe was a major religious, political and cultural center.

Georgia is often called the cradle of wine. So there is no surprise, that plenty of remains of Kvevri can be seen in Uplistsikhe. Locals explain the reason behind it. Apparently, when a baby was born, a family would fill up a new Kvevry with a wine and bury it. Then, when a child turned 16, family would donate kvevri full of wine to the church. In 9th century, St. George's Byzantine-style basilica was built on the rock, without any foundation. It survived multiple earthquakes and it is fully functioning today. Archaeological excavations in Uplistsikhe revealed many unique items, which are displayed in the National Art Museum of Georgia.

History of Guadeloupe
Pre-Columbian and Colonial Settlement
The earliest settlers on Guadeloupe arrived around 300 AD and developed agriculture on the island. They were removed by the more warlike Caribs. It was the Caribs who called the island "Karukera," which is roughly translated as "island with beautiful waters." They were also the tribe to meet all of the later settlers to the island. Archaeologists suggest that between 800 and 1000 AD drought, desertification and expansion of sand dunes on Guadeloupe led to a period with no active habitation based on the scarcity of remains from the period; this period coincides historically with the droughts and subsequent collapse of the Mayan civilizations in Mesoamerica.[1] Gradual resettlement and recultivation of the land on Guadeloupe occurred between 1000 AD and the arrival of Columbus.[1]
Columbus' second journey brought him to this island on November 14, 1493. He named it for an image in a Spanish monastery he had visited: Santa María de Guadalupe de Extremadura, an image of the Virgin Mary venerated at Villuercas, in Guadalupe, Extremadura.
No settlements were established on the island for many years but it was used as a trading post until 1635 after Captain Pierre Belain d'Ensambuc had sent explorers to Guadeloupe and decided it would be lucrative to settle and cultivate tobacco on the island; thus his corporation, the French Compagnie des Îles de l'Amérique sent 550 men under the leadership of Charles Liénard de l'Olive to Guadeloupe on June 27, 1635.[2] De L'Olive waged brutal war against the Caribs in Guadeloupe from 1636 to 1639, throughout which only 30 to 40 French died. Then in 1640, reinforcements from St. Christophe of Frenchmen allowed for the colonists to completely crush Carib resistance except for some few who fled to Basse-Terre and would sign a peace treaty with the French colonists in 1641.[3]
Early tobacco cultivation in Guadeloupe through the first half of the 17th century was sustained by relatively small numbers of indentured servants and European laborers under small scale proprietors, and in 1654 80% of the population of Guadeloupe was of European origin, with two-thirds being indentured servants.[4] Both the numbers of Europeans and the proportion of indentured labor would drop dramatically over the second half of the 17th century with the importation of African slaves: in 1654 67% of the population was of European origin, by 1671 that number dropped to 13%.[4]
From 1672 until 1678–allied with Britain until 1674–France was at war with the Dutch and faced enormous difficulty defending its colonies in the Caribbean; it was in this context of defense that Guadeloupe was royally annexed into the Kingdom of France in 1674.[5] In 1714, the French general government of the American islands divided in two, and Guadeloupe was placed under the control of the governor on Martinique.[6]
Changes in Europe
From 1759 through 1763, during the Seven Years' War, the Britain took control of the island, and the main city Pointe-à-Pitre was established during these years.
The sugar industry on the island was highly profitable and worth £6 million a year. Britain had also seized Canada in the war, and considerable debate took place in both Britain and France as to which was more valuable, Canada or Guadeloupe.[7] Britain decided Canada, although expensive to maintain, was of greater strategic value and returned Guadeloupe to France in the Treaty of Paris.[8]
The French Revolution unleashed decades of political turmoil, and control of Guadeloupe changed hands a couple of times including 1789 and 1792. Slavery was abolished by the governor Victor Hugues during this tumultuous time. Guadeloupe experienced the effects of the Reign of Terror from 1794 to 1798.
Louis Delgrès, a mulatto officer, led an uprising in 1802. He and 800 rebels chose to die rather than submit to the French army, which retook the island. Napoleon then reinstated slavery.
During the Napoleonic Wars, Britain again held the island from 1810 to 1813. It was then ceded to Sweden. However, the Treaty of Paris in 1814 left the island to France again, though Britain and Sweden did not fully acknowledge the transfer. French control of the island was recognized in the Treaty of Vienna in 1815.
Ending slavery
Like many Caribbean islands, Guadeloupe struggled with the end of slavery. In 1848, slavery was abolished completely. In place of the slaves, indentured servants were imported from India to work in the sugar cane fields. The first indentured servants arrived on 24 December, aboard the Aurelie. They came from the Coromandel Coast, Puducherry, Madras, Calcutta, and Malabar.[9]
A worldwide sugar slump began in 1870, hurting Guadeloupe's economy. Sugar was bolstered during World War I. Guadeloupe was of little international concern between this time. Just after the war, in 1923, it exported its first bananas.
The trial of Henry Sidambarom, Justice of the Peace and defender of the cause of Indian workers, began on 23 February 1904 and ended in April 1923.[10] Following this trial, in 1925, Raymond Poincaré decided to grant French nationality as well as the right to vote to Indian citizens.[11]
The colonial history of Guadeloupe has inspired a growing number of research publications.[12]
Modern times
Though Guadeloupe has been relatively peaceful, political changes have not always been easy. A compulsory work program was instituted by the Vichy government under Governor Sorin between 1940 and 1943.
In 1946, after another change of political power, Guadeloupe became an overseas Department of France. Other French Caribbean islands were added to this Department and in 1995 Guadeloupe became an observer in the Association of Caribbean States.
In early 2009, Guadeloupe experienced widespread public unrest as part of the 2009 French Caribbean general strikes, with protests focusing on low wages, high costs of living and social inequality.

This beautiful, resonant story about the way we leave behind childish things (but never really abandon them) delivers a specific, potent experience unusual even for the best iPad apps.
Asaf, a bespectacled boy who is turning 13, is obsessed with art and antiques, and they soon clutter his room. When his family moves, his parents take the opportunity to remove the clutter and urge Asaf to keep a neat space. In true teenage fashion, Asaf wallows in grief and drama over the change, but in time he learns that his growing mind can store more objects (albeit imaginary) and ideas than the biggest bedroom ever could. The evocative, painted artwork throughout the story is dark and moody, which makes the occasional flashes of humor all the more enjoyable. At one point, Asaf imagines a ramshackle cottage surrounded by fearsome bears... and one silly chicken, standing upright. He ends up writing a short story featuring the clucking creature. Interactive features enhance the story rather than distract from it. A sink pours out hot and cold words from two faucets instead of water ("Interest" / "Worry"; "Pleasure" / "Contempt"). A clothesline of wiggling shadows hangs across Asaf's bedroom. "He stepped on shadows to snag them... then strung them across his ceiling with imaginary pegs and imaginary twine." Touching the shadows makes them spookily float toward the reader and disappear.
The story perfectly captures Asaf's transition from a love of objects to a thirst for knowledge that goes beyond physical things. The app shows a remarkable sensitivity to this volatile moment and does it with style and grace. (iPad storybook app. 8-13)

Writer/director Tim Greene takes Charles Dickens' classic novel of an orphan in Victorian England and transports it to present-day Cape Town, South Africa, for his feature debut, Boy Called Twist. Newcomer Jarrid Geduld stars as the boy, who is sent to an orphanage when his mother dies shortly after giving birth to him. He's given his new name by Mrs. Corlet (Terry Norton), an orphanage director with a literary bent. Years later, with the orphanage in dire financial straits, Corlet sells a group of the older orphans to Bedel (Goliath Davids), who brings them to a farm where they are fed little and worked mercilessly. When Twist dares to demand more food, Bedel beats him, then brings him to a family-run funeral home, where he starts work as a gravedigger. He does well there, until his fellow workers grow jealous of him and start trouble. Faced with returning to the farm, Twist chooses to run away. At a highway rest stop, he's found by Dodger (Tertius Swanepoel), who brings him to the vicious Bill Sykes (Bart Fouche) and his pretty girlfriend, Nancy (Kim Engelbrecht). They take Twist to Cape Town, where he falls in with Fagin (Leslie Fong) and his crew of young scam artists, including Charley Bates (Ndyebo Mgaga). Twist is arrested for robbing an old man, but rather than press charges, Ebrahim (Bill Curry), a wealthy Muslim, takes Twist in and shows him a new way of life. Greene drew a lot of attention when he raised the production cost of the film by getting a thousand people to donate one thousand rands apiece. Greene attended the film's U.S. premiere at the 2005 New York African Diaspora Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Once cool weather hits I am immediately pulled to my collection of Scottish Terrier sweaters and scarves. I guess they are seen as cold weather or Christmas pets, because it seems like I always find some great Scottie gems in the winter. I'm a sucker for anything pup related! Earlier this year I had to go through all of the Scottie stuff I have acquired over the past 3 years and do a purge. This sweater made the cut!
Gearing up for winter is always rough. Those beautiful fall days seem to be so few! By the time fall really comes around it is nearly freezing and time for thick tights, tall boots and overcoats. For this look I am trying (and failing) to balance bare legs with puffer coat. Let's call this one a fall fail, shall we?

Essential Kitchen Lighting Tips
Merge practicality and style with these essential kitchen lighting tips and give the heart of your home the attention it deserves. Taking into account the shape and size of your kitchen will allow you to select the most appropriate lighting for your home. Read on for top tips that will breathe new life into your kitchen and bring fresh ideas into your home.
Put the Spotlight on Preparation Areas
Safety and cleanliness are two of the most important elements to consider in any kitchen so ensure you have adaptable lighting that can illuminate anywhere you may be chopping, dicing and splicing food. Opt for moveable spotlights so you can direct them where appropriate when necessary. Another attractive option is a fixed light above cookers or surfaces, which will minimise the risk of any accidents often associated activities in the kitchen.
Hidden Hazards
Don't forget those lesser used areas that can accumulate dust and may therefore pose a health risk. Make use of individual spot lights to ensure you don't miss any spot whilst cleaning and turn the neglected area into a feature with a particularly nifty small appliance or art work.
Lighten up!
If your kitchen has minimal or no natural light you will need a variety of styles. An overhead light will not be sufficient and may only add ambient lighting to your kitchen. Place spotlights below cupboards that hang above surfaces and install wall lights to brighten all dimensions of an otherwise dark kitchen. The ultimate solution for a basement kitchen is recessed downlighting. Space-saving and available in an assortment of styles, downlights can be placed along ceilings to create much-needed illumination.
Functional Can Be Funky
Don't be afraid to inject your own sense of style into your kitchen. Whether you prefer monochromatic minimalism or pop art cool, let your design ideas flourish with sensational fixed and temporary lighting solutions. You don't need to live in a stately home to enjoy the beauty of a kitchen chandelier, so if you want a kitchen fit for royalty, select a contemporary, colourful or classic chandelier. One of the most recent innovations in kitchen design is the sensational, illuminated glass shelf. Taking practicality to an entire different level, these translucent shelves are delightfully different and most can even be used in the bathroom.
Lighting Multifunctional Kitchens
If your kitchen is also a dining area, separate the areas using clever lighting ideas. Pendant lights over a table accentuate the area and will bring tasteful illumination to any dinner party. Pendant lights are also ideal for kitchens with high ceilings and are certain to be a talking point with any dinner guest.

Pretty much woke up to storm this morning, but bluebird. Weird. We started slopestyle practice at 8.00 am which is way to early by my opinion. They decided to cut down the course to the lower part, because of the saftey of the riders, sooo scary with the wind. The course was a choice of a downbox or downrail, to two kickers in a row, pretty huge but flat, 20 metres to the knuckle I guess. And in the end they put in this stupid Gatorade bonk. I was so nervous about the wind, and I didn't even do my run before the finals. I kept it pretty simple, but tried to make it look as easy as I could. 270 on the downbox, unatural 540 mute to a sw 10 mute, to a bonk. So fun! Actually scored a 91 in my first run, and I won the whole thing. I am so stoked, cannot even put it into words.
Next year I get to do the Dew-Tour stops, and that pretty much is the highlight of my years of skiing till now.
I have to get something to eat, before I and my roomate, Billy Mann are going to go through season 5 of The office!! YES. I have a shuttle at 2.30 am tomorrow morning, and a flight at 6.. It's going to be over 30 hours of traveling with this route: Albany,NY – Detroit – Denver 6 hours of waiting in Denver. Denver – Frankfurt – Oslo – Lillhehammer!

Cleaning Your Carpets Improve the Look of Your Home or Business
Remember how your carpet looked the day it was installed? Its visual appeal is due largely in part to the cleanliness and fullness of the fibers. As life happens in your home, so do spills and stains in addition to foot traffic in the same areas. A deep cleaning at an affordable price can refresh and renew the look and feel of your carpet and your home or business.

Call today 772-232-7422 for your free commercial carpet cleaning estimate. After hours and weekend cleanings available.
Our Steps to Affordable Expert Carpet Cleaning
Rainbow International Treasure Coast South adheres to the highest carpet cleaning principles by incorporating the steps listed below:
- Removal of dry soil. A deep vacuuming is performed on carpet and baseboards, using agitation and high quality filters to remove a large percentage of particulate.
- Applying a pretreatment solution. This solution is designed to separate the soils from the carpet fibers.
- Agitation of the pretreatment solution. Agitation ensures maximum contact between the solution and the fibers.
- Soil removal wash with a hot water rinse. There is a reason that this is the most commonly used method of soil extraction – a hot water rinse is a highly effective method of soil removal. A truck mounted, high efficiency system is capable of removing both the cleaning solution and any particulates residing in your carpet.
- Spot Cleaning and Stain Removal. When you have stubborn stains that need extra cleaning.
- Odor Removal. This usually happens with our deep cleaning; however, if you have stubborn odors from pets or mildew we have additional cleaners and deodorizers to handle all types of stubborn odors.
- Carpet protectant. A Scotchgard® treatment to protect your carpets longer from stains and soil.
- Raking and fluffing. Used to improve the overall appearance of your carpeting, grooming can help restore the pile and eliminate any matting.
- Drying. This is a critical step in the cleaning process, as a damp carpet can cause odors or accidents and attract soil. Most carpets take between two and six hours to thoroughly dry. We can use our commercial drying fans if needed.
The Benefits of a Professional Carpet Cleaning Service
Good Health
Your carpet acts as a filter, trapping airborne particles, allergens and contaminants and preventing them from recirculating through the air. Like other types of filters, it will eventually reach a saturation point. For those who suffer from allergies this is of particular concern; a carpet that can no longer filter allergens will reintroduce them with each step, reducing indoor air quality.
While routine vacuuming is essential to removing surface dirt and debris, even the most powerful household vacuum can't remove it all. A professional cleaning gets deep down into the fibers, releasing particulates and removing them for good.
Home or Business
We schedule appointments quickly and if you are a business we can shedule evening and weekend cleanings so as not to disrupt your customers during normal business hours.
Protect Your Investment
The flooring in your home is a big investment in the health and comfort of your family. Over time the same contaminants that reside in the fibers can begin to break them down, particularly in higher traffic areas as each footstep causes friction.
An improperly maintained carpet will show wear and tear and will require replacing much sooner than one cleaned regularly, helping to protect and prolong your investment.
Professional Area Rug Cleaning
Cleaning Your Area Rugs
Vacuuming is importance to help maintain the look of your area rug. Getting a professional area rug cleaning from Rainbow International® on a regular basis is important for a couple reasons:
- Area rugs tend to collect hair, food particles, dust, and dirt easily, especially if there is a lot of foot traffic in the area. If you allow dust and dirt to build up, not only will it make your area rug look dirty, it will cause wear and tear that will shorten the life of your beautiful room accessory.
- The buildup of dust mites and microbes can cause health issues, especially for individuals that suffer from respiratory problems such as asthma.

Opioid Addiction
People are dying from prescription drug overdoses at record levels
What is an Opioid?
Opioids are drugs derived from opium, including commonly-used prescription painkillers such as Vicodin, Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Percocet, Morphine and Codeine. Illegal substances such as heroin are also opioids.
What is the Problem?
People are dying from prescription drug overdoses at record levels. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, every day more than 90 Americans die after overdosing on opioids, and according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, drug overdose is the leading cause of injury death in the United States. Even more alarming, more than half of the people who abuse prescription drugs get them for free from a family member. This is why safely disposing of leftover prescription drugs is a crucial step in turning the tide on this epidemic.
Driven to defeat addiction
University of Minnesota researchers are developing new, non-addictive painkillers. These drugs could help people suffering from chronic pain, without the risk of addiction.
Drug Take Back Day
The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse and medications.
Safe Drug Disposal
Prescription medication plays an important role in treating pain associated with certain conditions and diseases, but prescriptions must be handled with care. Unused portions of pain medicines must be disposed of properly to avoid harm. The Academic Health Center has compiled some important information about safe disposal of medicines.
Fnd a drug disposal location near you
If you are unable to find a drug disposal location nearby, you can contact your local doctor, pharmacy, or police department to find out if they can accept your prescription drugs, or if they have a drug mail-back program with drug mail-back packages available. Legitimate packages should include pre-paid postage, unique ID numbers, and be pre-addressed to a location authorized by the DEA. Avoid leaving packages in unsecured mailboxes.
Overdose Prevention
Pain medication has a high incidence of overdose. Naloxone (Narcan®) is a medication used to prevent opioid overdose death by reversing the toxic effects of the drugs. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) encourages Minnesotans to have naloxone on hand for themselves, family members, or anyone else at risk of overdose.
For information on how to get Naloxone: Naloxone now and Dose of Reality MN
Substance abuse and Recovery
With support and assistance, you can recover from substance abuse and live a fuller life. You'll recover physically, psychologically, interpersonally and spiritually. Treatment services include assessment and referral, medically supervised withdrawal management, inpatient-to-outpatient treatment, family counseling and aftercare.

LinuxWorld preview: RHEL 4 shines bright, but it's not the only star
Red Hat's Enterprise Linux 4.0 tops the list of the hottest new products to see at next week's LinuxWorld event. But it's not the only scorcher you should know about.
To destroy an old adage: Red Hat at night, shoppers' delight. The new 4.0 release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the company's first distribution on Linux 2.6, is at the top of most IT pros' must-see list at LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in Boston and, probably, everywhere else this month. That doesn't mean that RHEL 4 will be the only hot technology during LinuxWorld or in 2005. Expect to be overwhelmed by the choices, a refreshing change from the early days of sparse shopping for enterprise Linux products.
Here's a "what's hot" list for those who need to trim shopping lists to a manageable size. We canvassed 30 Linux and open source software experts -- consultants, vendors and users -- to get their recommendations. (We'll admit up front, however, that there are too many shiny new things to list, so this is just a starter list.)
Let's start with the obvious, the new Red Hat distribution. Our site expert, consultant Kenneth Milberg, explained why RHEL 4 is No. 1 on most people's list. "In addition to containing the 2.6 kernel, it also will include a rewrite of the Linux's I/O subsystem, which manages transfers of data between systems components," he said. "It will also come with a version of Logical Volume Manager, which does disk partitioning. There will also be a huge change to how VMM [virtual memory] handles writes to disk."
Add features to it and RHEL 4 steps into the ring to duke it out with Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES 9). Novell beat Red Hat to the punch with a 2.6 distro. The folks we polled think that the wait be worth it, because RHEL4 will be mighty robust, feature-wise. No one thinks it will deliver a knockout to SLES 9, but they're excited about seeing the fight.
Databases, of course
Linux-friendly databases helped drive Linux into the heart of corporate data centers. They're certainly among the most mature enterprise Linux products. That doesn't mean they're old news, however. Databases were on the lists of almost all the experts we polled.
The most-listed product was MySQL 5, a new release of the open source database from MySQL AB. It's going to be a portability standout with its support for stored procedures and triggers, our sources said. MySQL CEO Marten Mickos said the new release will have many new features that customers have asked for and will make MySQL even easier for small and large corporations to use.
Two other open source databases attracted our experts' attention. Pervasive Software's PostgreSQL 8.0 and support bundle is a must-see, said Andrew Bowles, director of strategic alliances for BakBone Software. Also, other sources said, Computer Associates' Ingres r3 is a serious contender for some IT pros who want to get away from proprietary databases.
Getting more familiar with Oracle Database 10g and hearing about Oracle's grid computing initiatives are a top choice for our survey respondents, too.
Web world
Web services are at the top of the hot list for Yogesh Gupta, CA's chief technology officer (CTO) and senior vice president. "More and more, LinuxWorld is not just about Linux, but about the way open source solutions can be integrated into enterprise IT infrastructures and business practices," he said. "Everyone should be looking out for something new in that light."
Web-based applications should definitely be on IT shops' evaluation lists, according to IT pros. Steven Thompson, CTO of Omega Products International, is only buying new software that is Web-based and certified with a Mozilla Firefox client.
Web-based e-mail clients are on the cusp of a breakthrough, said Julie Harris Farris, founder of alternative messaging systems Scalix Corp.
Seeking relief from migration hassles
Experts like Versora CEO Mike Sheffey are going to check out migration tools like Progression lDB, which enables a move from MS SQL Server to databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. Another migration product getting some attention is Alacos' Linux Migration Agent. Beyond the product realm, our sources expect major vendors, like Hewlett-Packard, announcing new services that help ease businesses' migration pains.
It's about open source, of course
Mozilla's Firefox browser is on almost everyone's "very hot" list. That's completely justified, said author and consultant Nigel McFarlane. "Because Firefox runs on nearly all desktop environments, you can standardize your internal uses of the Web with a single tool, even for those with Macintoshes, OS/2 machines and power users on Unix or Linux," he noted. "Firefox makes sense for end users, for the technical people that support them and for Web site managers who want to benefit from the efficiencies inherent in standards-compliant Web content."
Samba, Apache, ISC BIND, Sendmail, ISC DHCP and PHP are open source projects that have been in major deployment for over five years, said John H. Terpstra, co-founder of the Samba Team, consultant and author. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be on everyone's hot list, he said. If you're not using them, you're behind the IT curve.
Navica Inc. CEO Bernard Golden agreed, noting that "Samba is a must-see program for any company whose road map involves a deliberate transition to Linux." He also advised checking out open source security projects, particularly Bastille Linux and Snort. These products are at the heart of the secure Linux enterprise, he said. (Watch for Golden's LinuxWorld wrap-up story on this site.)
Finally, our sources are going to check out The Eclipse Foundation to get a look at the future of open source, particularly business intelligence. "Open source can make business intelligence systems fit into the budgets of organizations that can't afford the commercial offerings," Golden said.
