VMware Partners Offer Hot Takes on New Acquisitions, Cloud Direction
Written by Lynn Haber
At least one partner has concerns over how VMware's channel program changes will impact smaller partners.
(Pictured above: VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger on stage at VMworld 2019 in San Francisco, Aug. 26.)
VMWARE VMWORLD — It's an exciting time to be a VMware partner given the continued flushing out of the company's vision with a flurry of announcements, the recently announced Pivotal and Carbon Black acquisitions, and big changes to the vendor's Partner Connect program.
On Day 1 of VMworld, Channel Futures caught up with a couple of VMware partners to find out about VMware in their business and their take on the show so far.
First, we chatted with Ross Peterson, solutions architect with Redapt, located near Seattle. Redapt is a systems integrator and VMware Cloud Provider (VCP). The partner employs about 300 people who help customers bridge the gap between on-premises infrastructure and cloud. It also offers hybrid cloud solutions.
Redapt's Ross Peterson
"We do rack buildouts and I help do the integration of VMware and, also scaling out and migrating to the cloud so that we can offer an end to end hybrid cloud or multicloud solutions," said Peterson.
He's very happy about where VMware is headed.
"It's awesome, quite frankly," he said. "I have a lot of customers interested in a multicloud environment. They have VMware on premises, Azure in the cloud, also AWS — nothing is talking to each other and customers are wanting that capability. They want to manage everything from a single pane and be able to have everything integrate. From what I heard in the keynote, that's a very promising direction for VMware."
Up until now, integration is a headache.
"I have one customer who had a VMware-as-a-service hosting facility and that facility is closing. They also have public cloud infrastructure in Azure — this is about a year ago. They asked what they'll be able to do, given that they have to move from that third-party colocation, and due to regulations and their clients, it had to be VMware from a business and governance perspective."
The customer looked at AWS, but with an existing footprint in Azure, they wanted to keep it in Azure given that's what they know.
"This was before VMware had their VMware offering in Azure, which is something they now have. So, now that it's general availability, we're working with the customer to get that migrated, using native VMware tools. That is a big benefit for our customers," said Peterson.
Redapt customers tend to range from midsize to enterprise businesses.
Peterson couldn't comment on changes being made to Partner Connect because of a delayed flight. But learning more about the overhaul of Partner Connect, it's something he and his company are interested in learning more about.
What he is clear about already is how VMware is moving forward.
"It's what I hoped to hear, honestly — the interoperability across clouds. Customers are in a very sticky situation because they'll isolate certain workloads in certain clouds and the two never meet. The isolation requires separate admin, separate skill sets. VMware getting everyone to talk to one another is very …

Q: Animating SolidColorBrush in Background I am trying to create a simple button style, that will change the opacity of the background from 0.0 to 1.0 on mouse over (and vice versa). I am creating a template for said button and I am binding all the properties in the template. It all works properly except the SolidColorBrush in background, that I can not bind to the template binding. I've seen some mentions of TemplateBinding not being the right one due to contexts, but I am not able to find another solution. I suspect, there might be a problem of Background being a Brush and I need just a Color component of that brush, but I am not able to obtain it.
The obvious override is to create two template styles with two different colors (which works), but I would like to avoid such hard-coding and copy-paste. What I would like to have is an option to specify Background property on Button, that would be used in SolidColorBrush and then the opacity would do the rest.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" x:Key="WindowButtonStyle">
    <Setter Property="Width" Value="46" />
    <Setter Property="Height" Value="32" />
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
    <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center" />

    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
                <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
                    <Border.Background>
                        <SolidColorBrush x:Name="ButtonBackgroundBrush" Color="???" Opacity="0.0" />
                    </Border.Background>
                    <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}" />
                </Border>
                <ControlTemplate.Resources>
                    <Storyboard x:Key="MouseOverAnimation">
                        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackgroundBrush" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1.0" Duration="0:0:0.15" />
                    </Storyboard>
                    <Storyboard x:Key="MouseOutAnimation">
                        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackgroundBrush" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="0.0" Duration="0:0:0.15" />
                    </Storyboard>
                </ControlTemplate.Resources>
                <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                        <Trigger.EnterActions>
                            <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOverAnimation}" />
                        </Trigger.EnterActions>
                        <Trigger.ExitActions>
                            <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOutAnimation}" />
                        </Trigger.ExitActions>
                    </Trigger>
                </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

Then, the button is used like this:
<Button x:Name="MinimizeButton" Style="{StaticResource WindowButtonStyle}" Click="MinimizeButton_Click" Background="Green">
    <Image Source="../Resources/WindowButtons/Images/win-minimize.png" Width="12" Height="12"></Image>
</Button>

Added Background="Green" property setting to test it, but did not worked.

A: You could use a TemplateBinding to bind the Background property of the Border to the Background of the Button and then animate the Opacity property of the SolidColorBrush like this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" x:Key="WindowButtonStyle">
    <Setter Property="Width" Value="46" />
    <Setter Property="Height" Value="32" />
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
    <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center" />

    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
                <Border x:Name="border" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
                                Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                    <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}" />
                </Border>
                <ControlTemplate.Resources>
                    <Storyboard x:Key="MouseOverAnimation">
                        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.(SolidColorBrush.Opacity)" To="1.0" Duration="0:0:0.15" />
                    </Storyboard>
                    <Storyboard x:Key="MouseOutAnimation">
                        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.(SolidColorBrush.Opacity)" To="0.0" Duration="0:0:0.15" />
                    </Storyboard>
                </ControlTemplate.Resources>
                <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                        <Trigger.EnterActions>
                            <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOverAnimation}" />
                        </Trigger.EnterActions>
                        <Trigger.ExitActions>
                            <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOutAnimation}" />
                        </Trigger.ExitActions>
                    </Trigger>
                </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

A: Answering my own, as always - you figure out the solution just after you post on S/O. So I hope it will help someone:
...
                    <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
                        <Border.Background>
                            <!-- ReSharper disable once Xaml.BindingWithContextNotResolved -->
                            <SolidColorBrush x:Name="ButtonBackgroundBrush" Color="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Background.Color}" Opacity="0.0" />
                        </Border.Background>
                        <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}" />
                    </Border>
...

I've included the ReSharper disable as well, because the warning form ReSharper was what kept me from trying this one - and desperation forced me to try it anyway.

It is no secret that in the US office on any given day you can hear strange words like jumper (sweater) and rubbish (trash) in thick Aussie accents. Although the Australian staff contingent is vastly out numbered by Americans, the sprinkling of Australian slang is a daily reminder that our company was indeed founded Down Under.
Actually, our sister company TWO Australia, is a major force in the window treatment industry, and serves a large group of Aussie dealers in Aluminum Shutters (which they call AluMINIUM shutters) Wood Shutters (which they call Timber Shutters) and Roller Shades (which they call Roller Blinds). And yes, switching vernacular is confusing for the team members, like myself, that work across both countries.
This month, we thought it might be fun to look at some of our favorite jobs our Aussie Dealers have done.

Tillis challenger Cunningham raises nearly $4.4M in first quarter
Outside money also focused on pivotal North Carolina Senate race
The race for North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis' seat is drawing lots of campaign cash. (Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call file photo)
By Kate Ackley
Posted April 14, 2020 at 5:50pm
Democrat Cal Cunningham, who is seeking to unseat North Carolina GOP Sen. Thom Tillis in November, will report raising nearly $4.4 million during the first quarter of 2020, his campaign told CQ Roll Call.
Cunningham, who won the state's March 3 primary, finished that month with about $3 million in his bank account as candidates face an increasingly uncertain fundraising environment because of the coronavirus pandemic. The race is among the nation's most competitive Senate contests and is drawing significant expenditures from super PACs and other outside groups.
Tillis' campaign has not yet released its fundraising totals from the first quarter, but the incumbent reported $5.4 million in cash on hand as of Feb. 12, according to disclosures with the Federal Election Commission. Through Dec. 31, the most Tillis raised for his reelection effort in a single quarter was $1.9 million. Overall, he has raised nearly $6.9 million between Jan. 1, 2019, and Feb. 12, 2020, FEC records show.
Tillis has also entered into joint fundraising ventures with other vulnerable GOP incumbents, including Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner.
Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates the Tillis-Cunningham race a Toss-up.
"Democrats got the candidate they wanted," said Doug Heye, who has worked on three GOP Senate campaigns in North Carolina, including for the state's senior senator, Richard M. Burr.
Cunningham is an Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and a former state senator.
"So much of this race comes down to Donald Trump," added Heye, a senior vice president with the firm CRAFT | Media/Digital, who grew up in North Carolina. The coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis make "it really hard to predict."
Republicans have scheduled their quadrennial nominating convention for Charlotte, North Carolina, starting Monday, Aug. 24, though even that remains uncertain because of COVID-19.
[The North Carolina Senate race is one of the premier Senate races in the country]
Outside money
Cunningham's primary opponent, Erica Smith, was the beneficiary of heavy spending from a GOP outside group tied to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, forcing Cunningham and Democratic groups to spend during the primary.
Republican-aligned super PACs, such as the Senate Leadership Fund, and their Democratic counterparts, including the Senate Majority PAC, have already announced they will make major investments, worth some $50 million, in the general election.
Americans for Prosperity Action, a conservative group, has disclosed numerous recent buys supporting Tillis, including $55,000 in early April on digital advertising.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee said it would devote more than $7 million to the contest beginning in July, according to a report in Politico.
Close race
Recent public polls have indicated it is likely to be a close race.
While Cunningham's fundraising totals represent a big haul in the first quarter, other Senate challengers have posted even bigger numbers.
Democrat Mark Kelly, who is running against Republican Sen. Martha McSally in Arizona, said his campaign collected $11 million in the first quarter and has nearly $20 million in cash on hand.
The Cunningham campaign said 97 percent of its donations have come in increments of less than $200.
Cunningham has pledged to reject donations from corporate PACs and has received the endorsement of the group End Citizens United, which tracks such pledges.
"Cal Cunningham wants to fight the culture of corruption in Washington that politicians like Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis have created," said Patrick Burgwinkle
of End Citizens United. McConnell is also up for reelection this year in Kentucky.
Cunningham campaign manager Devan Barber said in an email that "the first quarter saw a major increase in North Carolina grassroots donors looking to get involved."

Watch Colossus Come to Life in New 'Deadpool' VFX Video
Watch Colossus Come to Life in New Deadpool VFX Video
Deadpool is currently in theaters, enjoying its second weekend of release. And it will likely be number one at the box office yet again. One of the superhero adventure's most popular characters is Colossus, who originally appeared in the X-Men movies. Wired has a new VFX video break down, which shows just how this metal monstrosity was rebooted for the big screen.
Serbian actor Stefan Kapicic is the man credited for playing Colossus. But as it turns out, it took four other actors to fully create this unique Marvel mutant. In the video embedded below, we learn that Greg LaSalle of VFX company Digital Domain was one of the men who helped establish Colossus for this 20th Century Fox outing. He contributed to the facial models for the superhero born Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin. Stefan Kapicic is responsible for providing the character's voice, and did a portion of the physical motion-capture performance. Says the actor about the role.
"I'm 6-foot-4, but [director Tim Miller] wanted Colossus to be over 7 feet. So they used a stunt double to recreate his height, and he did very good job there."
Actor Andre Tricoteux portrayed Colossus on set for a good portion of the shoot. For a while, it was believed that he would also be providing the voice of the character. But in December, it was announced that Stefan Kapicic was stepping in to play Colossus. Daniel Cudmore portrayed Colossus in 2003's X2: X-Men United, 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand and last year's X-Men: Days of Future Past. The actor confirmed in February that he decided against reprising his role. In an interview from last year, Stefan Kapicic had this to say about accepting the iconic role.
"Tim Miller's idea of Colossus was to be bigger and stronger than everyone else, so for the motion capture they needed an extremely tall man. I'm 6-foot-4, but he wanted Colossus to be over 7 feet, so they used a stunt double to recreate his height, and he did very good job there. Tim also wanted Colossus to sound as close as possible to the comic book character's background, so he had me to come in, since my voice was what he envisioned for Colossus, who has an authentic Russian accent. My character's voice gives him the past history as Piotr Rasputin once you hear him speak. This made him the most authentic to the original idea of the comic book character.We had been trying all sorts of depths, both vocal and emotional, while playing with variations of Russian accents to give a range to the role until we finally got what Tim wanted. Giving the voice and expressions to a character is giving it a soul. It is a specific type of acting and it must be precise as it has to bring a character to life. Colossus' voice is not much different than mine as Tim loved my natural color and range of voice, so we kept it and worked more on the Russian accent. The best note I received was to be authentic."
Ryan Reynolds stars as the Merc With the Mouth alongside T.J. Miller, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, Ed Skrein, Brianna Hildebrand, Olesia Shewchuk, Style Dayne, Rachel Sheen and Dan Zachary. Tim Miller makes his directorial debut with Deadpool, working from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Take a look at how Colossus was created, then get ready to watch the movie all over again this weekend! But only if you really want too.

If you are new to The Littlest Way, welcome! One of the things you should know about me, I firmly believe our thoughts play a crucial role in our lives. I learned a number of years ago, although it still seems like such a short time ago, that Daily Affirmations–intentional thoughts focused on the good, true and beautiful, are crucial to our health, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and even physically. These truths provide a compass point for our heart and mind so we always stay focused or are able to draw back into focus, the truth. We are constantly being bombarded by lies, fears, anxieties or insecurities; daily affirmations are our weapons and our remedy. Today's affirmation is, I walk in faithfulness.
It is so easy to walk through our home–or at least my home–mumbling, "I'm sick of walking through this messy house…I'm always walking on Cheerios…What in the world did I just walk through?!?!" And even better than walking through my house with a broom in hand, I need to walk through it with a better attitude in mind. There will be the obvious physical messes to sweep away from now till Jesus comes, but I also need to pay attention to spiritual, mental, and emotional messes as well.
One of the first areas I need to check out for some messiness is my spiritual life. If my heart and soul are messy, everything…and I mean everything, will be affected. A plant cannot grow and thrive if it's not in the right soil and environment and the same principle applies to my soul. If I'm not rooted in Christ, being nourished by His Word and sacraments, I am literally wilting from the inside out. Death is imminent if I am not rooted and built up in Christ (and overflowing with thankfulness).
Next, I need to clean up is my mental messes–my sour attitude, my lightning fast ability to lose my peace over the stupidest things, my negative heart and mind, my sharp tongue…and unfortunately I could continue. As I sweep away the day's physical mess, I can use that time to sweep away the negative thinking, anxious thoughts, and just plain lies that have started dog-piling me from the moment I got up.
You know the lies right? "I'm already too far behind in this day…I look terrible…I'm so tired…I'm fat…If I wasn't so lazy–disorganized–bad at homemaking–sad–lonely, etc…if I was married…If I wasn't married…If I had a better job…If I could stay home…" You know the lies, but do you know how effective daily affirmations are to combat and honestly, destroy the lies we are bombarded by?
Discontent is one of the greatest, messiest tools the enemy can use against us. It's distracting, time consuming, and extremely effective.
As we go throughout our day, let's say to ourselves, as part of our daily affirmations, "I walk in care." To me, this means, we are careful what we take in. For me, if I'm walking in care, I am not watching the news or clicking around the internet too far or for too long. I am being careful about the information I allow into my heart and mind. Walking in care is also walking in thoughtfulness–I think about my surroundings. I consider the music I listen to, the television I watch, the magazines I flip through, the websites I visit, and the people I chose to spend time with. So I need to stop and think, are these people, places, and things bringing me in closer friendship with God? If not, I may need to make some serious changes.
The other danger against which the understanding must be on guard is curiosity, because, when we suffer it to be filled with hurtful, idle and frivolous thoughts, we destroy its power of apprehending that which closely relates to the true mortification of ourselves and to our perfection.
To me, dependability directly corresponds to duty. So if I am walking in dependability, I am doing my duty. Let me be honest here, there are so many times I would rather not do my duty…so I don't. I know–Ouch! What's going to happen to me? It's not like Chris and the kids can fire me. So I spend a little extra time doing this, that or the other before I get to my duty–which I then do in a hasty manner because I didn't do it when I should have. Or I just avoid it altogether. And then I regret it and feel guilty. I hate that I wasted my time–the precious gift of time–when there are sweet mommas out there fighting for more time.
Let us consider now, my daughters, the various ways in which we are losing time: by remaining inactive, by permitting ourselves to be idle, and by indulging in daydreams. To squander our time in this fashion means to render our lives sterile, and talent unproductive. We become like the fig tree cursed by our Savior because it bore no fruit.
I don't take this to mean we must always be "doing…doing…doing!" I take this to mean, pay attention to what I am doing. If I'm clicking around the internet or flipping through the channels to "veg out" is that really what I need? And if I do need to "veg out" can I possibly do it in a healthier way: a sunset or a quiet walk?
A synonym for piety–grace. I walk in grace…everything is grace. Using synonyms for grace…I walk in loveliness–not un-brushed teeth, yoga pants with food stains or holes, and greasy hair…unless you're postpartum or dealing with extraordinary circumstances–then carry on, because sometimes it's all about survival! But if we didn't get around to brushing our teeth because we got sucked into Facebook looking up old classmates to see if they got fat or bald…c'mon! Grace can also mean mercy and forgiveness. When was the last time we extended the same measure of mercy and forgiveness to others that we so readily extend to ourselves? Or vice versa, are we our own worst enemy?
Trustworthiness can also mean honesty. To me, this means if accused or even just questioned about what I did all day–maybe my husband smelled my un-brushed teeth? I don't respond with, "Well what did you do!?" Or, "Do you know how hard I work day in and day out without so much as a break!?!" I'm truthful. I'm truthful about what I did or didn't do. I'm also truthful if I'm in a place that I may need a little help out of. If my mind is kicking my rear end day in and day out and I can't seem to get ahead of the fear, anxiety or hopelessness, I honestly share those feelings with someone. I can ask for prayers and guidance with a humble, willing heart.
One of the ways I walk in truth is to count my blessings. I consider the great things the Lord has done for me and I list them one by one. My new Bible and Prayer Journal has space each week for at least 24 things I am grateful for. 24 a week for a whole year equals 1,248 "Thank You God" mentions. That is truth my friends!
I also walk in truth by reading the Word of God. John 17:17 reminds us, God's Word is truth. God can never deceive or be deceived so His Word is the perfect place to learn what truth looks like so I can identify and separate lies from truth. Once I'm able to recognize the lies of the enemy, I can say, "Nope, not today Satan," and go on. I don't have to entertain or ponder these thoughts that are, once again, destructive wastes of time.
Adding, I walk in faithfulness, to our daily affirmations can be a powerful way to navigate the seemingly mundane and ordinary of day to day life. It can help us focus on our priorities, identify lies, and protect our hearts and minds.
I love, love this post. I so needed this. This is a keeper.
Hello Jeanne! I'm so happy hear this post was helpful to you ♥ God bless!
This is a wonderful post! A keeper for sure. You have imparted such wisdom in this piece. Thank you so much. I had to laugh at the line about "your lightening fast ability to lose your peace over the slightest thing"…oh how I can relate.
I hate to hear you can relate, lol! Thanks for the kind words.
Jenny, this is such a wonderful post. Your comment about "What did I just walk through?" made me smile. I can certainly relate! Yes, what we fill our minds with plays a critical role in our attitude and our peace (or lack of). I've learned that the hard way a few times. Thanks so much for sharing the truth of the Spirit here.
Although it's always nice to know we're not alone, the thought of another momma crunching Cheerios or hobbling after stepping on a Lego makes me cringe! But glad to know I'm not alone.
While reading The Way of Serenity, Father Morris excerpts from The Land of the Blue Flower to teach an important lesson. I was intrigued enough to read it (free on Kindle) and it reminded me so much of what you have been called to teach us. Try it as a read aloud. I know that you will love it.
I still have not read this Michelle! I had forgotten all about it. As usual, I wrote the title down on a slip of paper so I wouldn't forget it and then lost the paper, ugh!


What the heck happened with Under the Silver Lake, the new film from It Follows director David Robert Mitchell? The neo-noir mystery was snapped up by indie powerhouse A24 right before its world premiere at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival…and then things started to go wrong. A24 slated it for a June 2018 release date, only to push it to December 2018. And then they pushed it again. Now, Under the Silver Lake is being dumped on VOD in the U.S. this month, save for select screenings in NY and LA. Talk about a real mystery.
A24 is trying to turn silver into box office gold with yet another release date delay for David Robert Mitchell's divisive neo-noir, Under the Silver Lake. The beloved indie studio is pushing back the release date to April 2019, making this the second delay for the darkly comic noir starring Andrew Garfield.
After all the buzz and excitement around the FX series Atlanta and the Donald Glover/Childish Gambino video "This Is America", it was a foregone conclusion that Hollywood would come calling for director Hiro Murai. Now, word comes that Murai is in talks to make his feature debut with the sci-fi thriller Man Alive.
After his breakout success with It Follows, it would not have been a surprise if director David Robert Mitchell rode the wave of critical acclaim with another high-concept horror film. Instead, Mitchell has delivered a wacky, surreal neo-noir.
The first Under the Silver Lake trailer is a kooky ride, featuring Andrew Garfield playing against type as an awkward deadbeat who bumbles across Los Angeles looking for his beguiling next-door neighbor (Riley Keough), who has mysteriously vanished.
I'm in the bag for David Robert Mitchell. His stellar horror film It Follows was one of my ten favorite films of 2015 and I really like his heartfelt (and tragically under-seen) debut, The Myth of the American Sleepover. Despite his first two films existing in completely different genres, his voice is crystal clear in both of them, with each movie exploring the pain of growing up and the fear of facing the world alone. He's a filmmaker with a unique perspective and an artist to watch.
Now, he's lined up his next movie: a film noir starring Andrew Garfield.
Update From Editor Peter Sciretta: The Weinstein Company has announced that they will be expanding It Follows to 1,655 theaters nationwide on Friday April 3rd 2015. The indie horror film has become a smash success, originally scheduled for a small limited release in just four theaters before a VOD release. That digital release was pushed back on March 20th as the company announced they would be keeping the film in theaters and expanding wide to 1000 screens. The film earned nearly $4 million, earning the fifth place on the weekend box office charts. Read the official It Follows wide release press release after the jump.
Editor's Note: This review originally ran during the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. We're rerunning it now that It Follows is in limited release.
Sometimes, the scariest thing isn't what's around the corner. It's what's right in front of you. In It Follows, writer director David Robert Mitchell has created a simple, perfect, and bone-chillingly terrifying horror conceit that doesn't need blood or jump scares. It doesn't even, necessarily, need special effects. In It Follows a normal person, walking, is enough to scare the living crap out of you.

Pierre Henry & Michel Colombier - 1968 - Les Yper Sound
This EP is an amusing concoction, lounging in the easy listening section of your soul but containing a pretty groovy blur of psychedelic synthesis to stir your mind. The "Psyche Rock" track will probably seem pretty familiar to you, even if you've never heard it. The theme song of the cartoon "Futurama" is a direct homage/rip-off of the track, depending on how you feel about the situation. The chord structure and rhythm are about the same, but we do get the jolly noises of early synthesis ripping through the track. Sounding even more psych-rock like than that titular track are the grooving "Jericho Jerk" and the full-thrust "Too Fortiche," in which an acid rock guitar battles with a sawtooth wave. You might also note that Stereolab nicked a song title from the title of this EP. This does make an impact as one of the more notable 'hipster' influences on that band's sound. There's a lot of droning noise here juxtaposed with dancin'-down-Carnaby Street sort of groove jazz. Take that for what it's worth. More reviews soon. Too many martinis right now. Mix the martinis with some psychedelic substance and you'll end up with this disc.

I tend to shy aware from compilations, but this one deserves your psychedelic attention. Mike Floyd over at the Homemade Lo-fi Psych blog just got together another fine collection of tripped out sounds from an international constituent of musicians. In fact, there's a previously unreleased Glaze of Cathexis track there waiting for your ear. Give it a listen here:

Sun Ra - 1978 - Space Probe
(both 5's for the title track)
After all that talk about Sun Ra back in the Brother Ahh review, I feel like we need to take a look at some of Mr. Ra's music on its own terms. This album is not really one of his best, but as far as I know it's extraordinarily rare. I don't even know what the cover looks like for this one. That's part of the mystique, though. Although Sun Ra left for Saturn (i.e. died) almost 15 years ago, there's at least two or three of his recordings that are reissued every year, and most of them had absurdly low production runs on their original release, so they might as well be new. Space Probe is one that's still waiting to be properly unearthed.
The title track is by far the star of the show here. The 18-minute track features Sun Ra alone except for an arsenal of Minimoogs. If you're familiar with his 70's work, you will understand that this is a good thing. Ra coaxes sounds out of these machines that really do seem to plunge into the depths of interstellar space and sound positively ahead of its time even thirty years later. If you want to consider this track on its own, feel free to crank up both the quality and trip-o-meter ratings to a 5.
The other tracks here don't suck, but I'd rank them as a typical Sun Ra holding pattern. "Primitive" is a short percussive overture with a touch of clarinet bouncing off the walls. This leads into "The Conversion of J.P.," which is pretty much more of the same percussive template, except five times as long, and featuring some abstract, almost R&B sounding, acoustic piano playing from the Sun one.
This album is far from entry level Sun Ra. For that, I'd advise you to search for the still in print Space is the Place (Impulse) or maybe We Travel the Spaceways. Granted those two albums are already worlds apart in sound. However, if you've already been indoctrinated into Sun Ra's spaceship, you know that 18 minutes of Moog-ing Ra is an absolute necessity, and you'll need to hear this.

Bit 'A Sweet - 1968 - Hypnotic 1
Although saddled with a terrible name, Bit 'A Sweet turns out to be a fine psychedelic band. These guys get a gold star for psychedelic diversity, managing to stuff raga rock, straight up psych-pop, twee, bubblegum, and futurist Moog squiggles into a 40 minute album. I doubt you'll like everything here, but I find that the batting average is pretty high.
Really, it's difficult not to make this review simply a category of style, and I'm not going to try too hard to do otherwise. We'll get the negatives straight out of the way. The 'happy days toy town' vibe of "Monday-Tuesday" doesn't do it for me, nor does the watered-down Procol Harem organ soul of "A Second Time." Unfortunately, the latter goes on for 8:38 and typically convinces me to end the album early (it's the last track). The rest is much better. Bit 'A Sweet acknowledges the East in typical hippy-fied manner on the great opening raga rock of "Speak Softly," and the Indian-influenced folk rocker "Travel." Yeah, I know sitars are a cliche, but I still dig it when they show up anyway. "2086" is a gleefully stupid futurist track which builds stock with me through it's primitive Moog sounds and the pure mindless optimism of the lyrics (In 1983 we banished sad). The squiggly synth sounds also appear on the bubblegummy "Diamond Studded Eyes." "How Can I Make You See" is a decent enough rave up and the band even manages a worthwhile Beatles cover with "If I Needed Someone."
This should satisfy your hunger for psychedelic sound for at least a few days. The great thing here is that if you don't dig a track, just go to the next one and you'll get something completely different.

Brother Ahh - 1972 - Sound Awareness
This is a little more on the jazz side than what we typically see in the Garage, but it's definitely one of the more psychedelic offerings from that genre. Brother Ahh was an acolyte of the truly tripped-out Sun Ra (not tripped-out on any substances mind you, he was just gloriously nuts). Of course Sun Ra has no short supply of psychedelic obscurities, and we'll see a few of them here eventually. But before I get off on too much of a tangent, let's focus on the Brother in question. While this album probably doesn't touch the heights of Sun Ra's Arkestra at its best, Sound Awareness is far from a pale imitation.
The crux of this recording takes some of the percussive and echoing innovations from Sun Ra's best 60's albums such as Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy and Atlantis, and finds a few new mis-en-scenes to place them into. We hear some very exotica-style female vocals on "Beyond Yourself," which expands to a full 90-member chorus for "Love Piece." I'd say that this recording shows an evolution into classical, ambient, and fusion styles that the laser-focused Sun Ra typically didn't mess with. The sound is more nebulous, but no less appealing. Also, while the Arkestra's percussion ensembles are nothing to sneeze at, Brother Ahh brings in the big guns here with Max Roach and some of his drummers appearing as guests. The spoken piece of "Love Piece" is a fine rant mixing black power and religious imagery before shifting to call-and-response new age philosophy on the power of love.
Overall, this worthwhile album provides us with a worthwhile different flavor of the innovations made by Sun Ra and his cohorts. Fortunately, the albums holds up very well on its own, but as a contrast tool with the sound of the Arkestra, Sound Awareness is educationally invaluable.

grumble.js

				Originally written for Huddle.com,
				grumble.js provides special tooltips
				without the usual limitations of north/east/south/west positioning.

				A grumble can be rotated around a given element at any angle, all 360 degrees.
				Any distance can be specified.
				Any CSS style can be applied.
				There's auto-magic size adjustment for use with localised text.
				FX queues for animating multiple grumbles.
				And it works in IE6+, and modern browsers.

grumble.js is currently written as a jquery plugin and can be found on Github

$('h1').grumble({
	text: 'Bubble-tastic!',
	angle: 85,
	distance: 100,
	showAfter: 500
});

Examples

				The following code animates a set of grumbles, click here to
				see it in action.

			No text
			Different style
			With close button
			Enlarged for text

$('#grumble1').grumble(
	{
		text: '',
		angle: 200,
		distance: 3,
		showAfter: 1000,
		hideAfter: 2000
	}
);
$('#grumble2').grumble(
	{
		text: 'Ohh, blue...',
		angle: 180,
		distance: 0,
		showAfter: 2000,
		type: 'alt-',
		hideAfter: 2000
	}
);
$('#grumble3').grumble(
	{
		text: 'Click me!',
		angle: 150,
		distance: 3,
		showAfter: 3000,
		hideAfter: false,
		hasHideButton: true,
		buttonHideText: 'Pop!'
	}
);
$('#grumble4').grumble(
	{
		text: 'Whoaaa, this is a lot of text that i couldn\'t predict',
		angle: 85,
		distance: 50,
		showAfter: 4000,
		hideAfter: 2000,
	}
);
);

			Can I haz callbacks? Sure.

$('#myElement').grumble({
	showAfter: 1000,
	hideAfter: 2000,
	onShow: function(){
		console.log('triggered when show animation completes');
	},
	onBeginHide: function(){
		console.log('triggered when hide animation begins');
	},
	onHide: function () {
		console.log('triggered when hide animation completes');
	}
});

The darkside of grumble.js

			grumble.js exposes three methods, 'show', 'hide' and 'adjust'. The adjust call allows you to update position and angle.

			Warning: Clicking on this link may damage your UX. (:p)

$('#darkside').click(function(e){
	var $me = $(this), interval;

	e.preventDefault();

	$me.grumble(
		{
			angle: 130,
			text: 'Look at me!',
			type: 'alt-',
			distance: 10,
			hideOnClick: true,
			onShow: function(){
				var angle = 130, dir = 1;
				interval = setInterval(function(){
					(angle > 220 ? (dir=-1, angle--) : ( angle < 130 ? (dir=1, angle++) : angle+=dir));
					$me.grumble('adjust',{angle: angle});
				},25);
			},
			onHide: function(){
				clearInterval(interval);
			}
		}
	);
});

What is this magic?

			grumble.js uses buzzwords like CSS3 and 'maths' to position itself exactly where you want it.
			Modern browsers use CSS3 transforms with IE6+ using non-standard Matrix filters.
			Image spriting is used for actual bubble image, you can change this as you want - it's just CSS.

Credit due

			Big thanks to everyone involved in creating the idea and design of grumble.js (aka. Huddle Bubbles). Let me know if you want explicit mention.

Lost in the 21st Century
Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown
For my amusement….
I like to imagine this was Elizabeth Warren's reaction to seeing Scott Brown's Cosmo Centerfold….
As well as her reaction to his ability to serve as an effective Senator…
It certainly reflects mine…
For Reference: The Current Senator from Massachusetts:
Cute don't cut it when compared to smart…..
One of the lessons of growing older…..
It's time someone taught Scott Brown that….He's cruised by for too long on his looks and manufactured image.
I'm hoping Elizabeth Warren will prove me wrong on my estimation of the intelligence of the American Electorate and be the first Woman elected President of the U.S.!
Don't own the copyrights…just saw these pics on the web….

Elizabeth Warren and the Social Contract
The more I see of Elizabeth Warren, the more I love her….
She is one smart – brilliant- woman and I hope to God she gets elected to the Massachusetts Senate seat so she has a platform to run for President in 2016.
I also love that she talks about the Social Contract. I was thinking I was the only one left who believed there was such a thing….
We desperately need more politicians like Elizabeth Warren…

Senate Republicans Vote Overwhelmingly To End Medicare
The GOP is finally in the record with what they gave been trying to hide…
If the Dems just hold fast and protect Medicare and Social Security, they/we can take back the House and hold the Senate….
That's the only way to protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security from the GOP….
That's a big "if" given the Dem's habit of shooting themselves in the foot…
But I think the GOP just shot itself in the head….
From TalkingPointsMemo.com:
The GOP continued its bloody walk into the Medicare buzzsaw Wednesday, when 40 out of 47 Senate Republicans voted in support of the House GOP budget, and its plan to phase out and privatize the popular entitlement program.
The test vote failed by a vote of 57-40. But the roll call illustrates that Medicare privatization — along with deep cuts to Medicaid and other social services — remains the consensus position of the GOP despite the growing political backlash against them.
Voting with all of the Democrats against debating the plan were Sens. Scott Brown (R-MA), Olympia Snowe (R-ME) — both 2012 incumbents — along with Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against it because it wasn't radical enough.
Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) did not vote.
Democrats intentionally scheduled the vote less than 24 hours after a Democrat won a special election in New York's 26th — and heavily Republican — congressional district, on the strength of defending Medicare from a GOP onslaught. The outcome of that election heightened the political stakes, but sent few Republicans bolting for the exits.

The Food and Drug Administration is one step closer to approving a prescription CBD oil. Participants in an Idaho case study may have played a role in the decision-making process.
Forty Idaho children diagnosed with epilepsy have been part of the state's Expanded Access Program . Children in the program are legally allowed to use Epidiolex under the care of a doctor. Their progress while using the drug is documented.
"That information is supplemental, given to the [FDA advisory] panel to take a look at for safety and tolerability of the drug," Idaho Office of Drug Policy Administrator Nicole Fitzgerald said.
"When we look at making public policy, we felt like we have to make sure it's science and not politics that creates medical approval," Fitzgerald said.
"We do hope the FDA approves this and it will be something available by the end of the year," Fitzgerald said.

I love people who make me think by seeing the world in a different way. Herb Meyer is one of those people. As the former #2 in Reagan's CIA his job was to be Reagan's "radar," to see things before they appear. Among other things, Herb was the first person to predict the demise of the old Soviet Union. I heard him talk a few days ago and I was mesmerized for three hours. I would now like to share a few of his thoughts.
The world is getting modern— The laggard of course is the Islam world. What we fail to realize, according to Meyer, is that the Islam world works under a different operating system than the West's. It will take years, but eventually the majority of that world will modernize. Maybe not to the West's standards but there will be measurable progress.
The world is getting richer— Every year, 50-100 million people are crossing the poverty line. 7 out of 10 of the world's fastest growing economies are in sub-Saharan Africa. There is an emerging middle class all over the world. They watch TV, have smart phones, buy homes, go to movies, etc. It is hard to hate people who are like you, and more importantly it is harder to start wars and fight them.
A. Western Europe's birth rate is 1.5. In 25 years there will be 70-80 million less Europeans.
C. In Italy, 64% of all Italians under 35 have never held a job and the vast majority live with their parents. An entire generation lost.
D. In Germany, 40% of college age women are childless.
E. In Europe only 1 out of 7 couples are married.
F. In short, many Europeans do not like to make babies, marry, or work.
G. Muslims are an increasing part of the European population.
H. In England, the most popular boy's name last year was Muhammad.
I. In France, 30% of the population under 20 is Muslim.
J. In Europe, the fastest growing crime is fathers killing their daughters for disobeying orders to marry within their faiths.
K. Israel's birth rate is 3. In 25 years there will be more people in the Israeli army than in Germany's.
L. In Japan, by 2020 1 out of 5 of its citizens will be over the age of 70.
M. Japan is closing 400 schools a year.
N. In Japan, the largest diaper manufacturer is selling more adult diapers than baby diapers.
O. Russia is in dire straits and not just economically. The average male lives to 57, alcoholism is still rampant, and their population is aging commensurate with Western Europe.
P. China's birth rate is 1.1 due to their one-child per couple policy. The vast majority are boys. China is very worried about what 200 million single men with no chance of getting married will mean to the stability of the country. China also has the most rapidly aging population on earth and few women caregivers.
Q. The country to watch is India. Highly educated, high birth rates, democratic, believes in property rights and the rule of law. Israel and Mexico are also in good shape.
These changes will not happen overnight but the trend lines are clear. Dismiss them at your own risk.
Older people do not spend money like younger people. That is why advertisers want to reach the 35-50 age demographic.
Key growth industries will be medical/health care, financial services, travel and hospitality.
Marketers planning to launch new baby products will give more emphasis to India, Africa and parts of North America. Western Europe may become forgotten except for fast growing ethnic areas.
It is fair to say that world powers will change dramatically in the next 20-30 years.
As a wise marketer once told me some years ago, "Don, the only thing we can expect is change." Our job is to have our radar working, analyze the facts objectively and then to lead our business (and country) forward.


Crescent Real Estate Holdings LLC has a $225 million investment in Uptown, and now we have a better idea of what that investment will look like.
In a word, stunning. Architect Cesar Pelli has released preliminary renderings of Crescent's 600,000 square foot, mixed-use high rise project at McKinney Avenue and Olive Street, right across the street from the Tower Residences at the Ritz-Carlton.
Currently that 3.1 acre site looks like any empty lot in Uptown where cars can be parked, weeds whacked.
But oh, just you wait. This will be Crescent's crown commercial jewel.
Think of a mini Klyde Warren Park with a lot more retail nearby. Like 50,000 square feet of retail, including a gourmet food market. There will be several restaurants, too, but also coffee shops. Crescent is very focused on offering a range for diners — fast and casual as well as leisurely.
And Crescent is being smart about parking, too, understanding that cars are still a part of our fabric. There will be seven layers of above ground parking, and two stories of underground garage space. All the parking will be wrapped with the retail.
Most of the building will be clad in glass and metal. Crescent plans to break ground in the middle of this summer, and opening is slated for mid-summer 2016.
The Argentinian-born Cesar Pelli became Dean of the Yale University School of Architecture in 1977, about the time he founded Cesar Pelli & Associates.

Sep 9, 2021 1:04 pm·
Jennifer Love Hewitt has her very own party of five after giving birth to her third child! The Client List alum welcomed baby No. 3, a boy named Aidan James, with her husband, Brian Hallisay. Jennifer announced the news of her newborn's arrival on Thursday, September 9.
Meet Jennifer Love Hewitt and Husband Brian Hallisay's Kids!
"Well this is how my kids sent me to the hospital. My belly was a big hit," the 42-year-old captioned a photo of her baby bump with a drawn-on smiley face. "'It is said that women leave their bodies in labor… they travel to the stars to collect the souls of their babies, and return to this world together.' It was my greatest honor to go and collect you, Aidan James. Now back to snuggles and resting."

The little bundle of joy's arrival comes four months after Jennifer announced she was expecting her third kid with Brian, also 42, in May. The former Ghost Whisperer star and the Bottoms Up actor wed in 2013 and are the parents of their older kids, 7-year-old daughter Autumn and 6-year-old son Atticus.
Jennifer revealed the exciting news she was pregnant on Instagram, sharing a photo of a positive pregnancy test at the time. "Oh baby! We have another one on the way. So excited to finally share this news with all of you," she gushed in the caption.
5 Fun Facts About Jennifer Love Hewitt's Husband Brian Hallisay
The Party of Five alum also spoke to People about how happy she was to expand her family. Though Jennifer said she and Brian have "always been open" to the idea of having more babies, she "definitely didn't think in the crazy year" amid the coronavirus pandemic "that it would necessarily be this moment."
However, the lovebirds are thrilled about the "pleasant, beautiful, surprising gift," the doting mama shared. "I feel like we've been able to so far raise two really special kids who will be great role models. To be able to get to do all that again with another little human [is amazing]."

Now that Jennifer and Brian's little one is officially here, the 9-1-1 star couldn't feel more grateful to have her family of five with the Hollywood hunk. While chatting with People following her pregnancy announcement, Jennifer credited Brian for being a dedicated husband — especially "during labor."
"He's like a rock, solid," she praised, recalling the times she gave birth to Autumn and Atticus. "You would never know if he was panicked, or worried or stressed or anything … he's just really good."

The Castle of Bar
In the Ukrainian Podillya, in the origins of the river Riv, lies the ancient town of Bar. This town saw Tatars, Poles, the cossaks, hetmans, Russians, the kings and queens. It burned in the fires of peasants uprisings. It was the residency of hetman Konetspolski and hetman Vyhovsky and also the center of Bar Confederation. There is a historical object left from those times. It is the Bar Castle. This object is the most mysterious, the most deserted and the most discussed object. Perhaps, someone, like R. Zelazny's character, would have remembered The Castle of Bar, if it has been preserved nowadays.
After Olgerd's conquest (Syni Wody battle) the territory had been included to the Podillya principality, that was a part of Great Lithuanian principality. The construction of big town-castles had begun. The first documentary sign about the town named "Rov" goes back to 1401. Famous Ukrainian historian Myhailo Grushevskiy wrote "... in 1405 Rov was a populated town, and it meant that the process of population had been held in previous times..." The queen Bona Sforza together with her son Sigizmund August came to Rov in 1533. The Queen bought the territory of Rov with the surrounding lands and ordered to build a new fortress. She named the town Bar - in honor of her native town Bari in Italy, where she was born.
In the XVII century the castle had masonry walls. It had rectangular proportions and the towers on it's corners, which were carried forward from the main perimeter. But very few fragments were preserved at the beginning of the XX century.
New masonry castle had been built under Martin Gerburt command, who was the elderly of Bar in 1553-1570. The main function of the castle was to strengthen the Poland's south borders and to block the exit to the Black Sea. The Castle of Bar became the third (after Kamianets and Medgibizh) fortress of Poland and it was often called "the gate of Polish Ukraine".
Here, at Viz4d.biz we tried to recreate the Castle Of Bar digitally by means of 3d Studio Max and Corona Renderer. Our architectural visualization shows the castle of Bar as it was built in 18-th century.

Dveře pro cestující jsou ve vozidlech pro hromadnou přepravu osob systémem, který umožňuje výměnu cestujících mezi interiérem (salónem vozidla) a prostorem mimo vozidlo, nejčastěji prostorem zastávky. Ve vozidlech mohou být instalovány i další druhy dveří:
 dveře pro oddělený nástup řidiče (strojvedoucího),
 dveře mezi prostorem pro řidiče a prostorem pro cestující,
 dveře oddělující různé prostory pro cestující (dveře kupé v železničních vozech),
 nouzové dveře k opuštění vozidla po havárii.

Organizační členění dveří
 Dveře jednosměrné – pouze pro výstup nebo pouze pro nástup, k usměrnění pohybu cestujících. Využití tohoto typu dveří je tam, kde je pevně určeno místo placení jízdného, např. v linkových (meziměstských) autobusech, kde jízdné vybírá řidič, jsou přední dveře určeny pouze pro nástup.
 Obousměrné dveře – pro výstup i nástup cestujících v samoobslužných systémech, kde jízdné nevybírá řidič, případně v železniční dopravě, kde průvodčí prochází vozidlem. Konstrukčně může být dveřní otvor rozdělen madlem pro částečné usměrnění pohybu cestujících.

Součásti dveřního systému
 dveřní křídla – vždy pohyblivá, s okny, mohou nést některé ovládací prvky (tlačítka poptávkového ovládání dveří), mohou na nich být madla usnadňující nástup,
 pohon dveřních křídel – k pohonu slouží elektromotor nebo pneumatické válce,
 přídavné osvětlení prostoru pro cestující – bílé barvy, především tam, kde za dveřmi je schod, svítí pouze při otevření dveří,
 ovládací prvky poptávkového otevírání dveří, tlačítka jsou umístěna uvnitř vozidla i na vnější straně, mohou být i součástí dveřních křídel,
 tlačítko signalizace k řidiči: pro požadavek zastavení na následující zastávce na znamení, výstup s kočárkem, výstup handicapované osoby, nouzové zastavení,
 USB modul dobíjení mobilních telefonů,
 světelné a zvukové zařízení signalizující zastavení v zastávce na znamení, signalizace před uzavřením dveří,
 páka nebo jiné mechanické zařízení k otevření dveří při havárii,
 výsuvná nebo výklopná plošina pro usnadnění výstupu a nástupu cestujících na invalidním vozíku.

Související pojmy
 Poptávkové otevírání dveří je způsob otevírání dveří, kdy pro jejich otevření je třeba odblokování řidičem a signál daný cestujícím. Otevřou se pouze ty dveře, u kterých jsou splněny obě podmínky. Výhodou je u vytápěných nebo klimatizovaných vozidel omezení nekontrolované výměny vzduchu, protože se otevřou pouze ty dveře, kterými skutečně procházejí cestující. Ovládání dveří zpravidla umožňuje řidiči nuceně otevřít všechny dveře vozidla (soupravy) bez ohledu na to, zda byl dán signál cestujícím. Tlačítka pro cestující jsou jak uvnitř vozidla, tak vně vozidla. Mohou být umístěna na konstrukci vozidla, ale i přímo na dveřních křídlech.
 Akustický maják je zařízení sloužící k informování nevidomých nebo slabozrakých cestujících. Po vyslání signálu z dálkového ovládání cestujícího hlásí akustický maják vozidla číslo linky, směr jízdy (příští zastávku), případně další informace. Cestující má k dispozici dálkové ovládání jako samostatný přístroj, alternativně jako přístroj zabudovaný do slepecké hole. Jednou z funkcí dálkového ovládání může být i signál pro poptávkové otevírání dveří (nahrazuje stisk tlačítka zabudovaného ve vozidle).
 Automatické počítání cestujících je systém čidel, sběrnice a počítače, sloužící ke sčítání cestujících ve vozidle. Nasbíraná data jsou odesílána přes GSM nebo Wi-Fi do dispečinku dopravce. Čidla jsou vždy umístěna u dveří (nade dveřmi). Čidla mohou být kamerová, tedy závislá na světelných podmínkách a osvětlení ve vozidle, tím méně spolehlivá. Spolehlivější jsou čidla infračervená, nezávislá na osvětlení.
 Stupačky pro výstup na střechu jsou u vozidel elektrické trakce (tramvají a trolejbusů) součásti karosérie, které umožňují obsluze bez dalších pomůcek vystoupit na střechu vozidla v případě nutné manipulace s tyčovým sběračem nebo pantografem. U nejstarších vozidel to mohly být pevné stupačky přinýtované na boku vozidla. U modernějších vozidel jsou to výklopné stupačky umístěné v rámu dveří, nejblíže k místu montáže sběrače proudu. Na stupačky může na střeše navazovat část krytá izolačním kobercem a vybavená madly pro přidržení. V klidovém stavu lícují stupačky s obrysem karosérie, aby nemohlo dojít k zachycení cestujících.

Typy dveřních systémů

Bez dveří
U nejstarších vozidel (koňské, parní i nejstarší elektrické tramvaje) byl pro výměnu cestujících určen jen volný průchod. Dveře zde nebyly. Vozy měly otevřenou nástupní plošinu, nebo v některých případech se nastupovalo zboku do vozidla přímo z ulice, nebyla zde průchozí ulička. Vozidla byla vždy mimo řidiče obsazena průvodčím. Ten v některých případech uzavíral nástupní prostor šňůrou nebo řetízkem, aby vyznačil "uzavření dveří". Vzhledem k tomu, že se jednalo o vozidla obousměrná, byla uzavřena také ta strana, na kterou se nemělo vystupovat. Ohrožení cestujících při výstupu nebylo velké, tratě v době koňských tramvají bývaly jednokolejné. Řidič takového vozidla měl bez opuštění svého místa jen minimální přehled a vliv na dění v nástupním prostoru. Usměrnění cestujících měl na starosti průvodčí. Obdobná situace byla u obousměrných tramvajových vozidel, vyráběných zhruba do vypuknutí druhé světové války. Vozidla (jak hnací, tak vlečná) měla nástupní plošinu, oddělenou od salónu vozidla samostatnými posuvnými dveřmi. Pro výstup z plošiny na zastávku sloužily ručně ovládané skládací dveře (ty mohly být nahrazeny skládací, tzv. nůžkovou mříží), které bylo možné v otevřeném i uzavřeném stavu zajistit. Vozidla byla především obousměrná, takže na každé plošině byla dvojice dveří umístěných proti sobě. Za běžného provozu byly dveře na straně obrácené k zastávce (chodníku) trvale otevřené a zajištěné v otevřené poloze, dveře na opačné straně zavřené a zajištěné v zavřené poloze. Řidič neměl ze svého místa vliv na situaci u dveří a přehled jen minimální. Organizaci výměny cestujících zajišťoval průvodčí, který mohl také dát zvukový signál řidiči (mechanicky, zvonkem). Koncepce karoserie bez dveří byla použita také u nejstarších autobusů. Podle literatury byl tento způsob nástupu cestujících použit ještě v padesátých letech dvacátého století u autobusů Škoda 706 RO vyvezených do Egypta.

Bouchací dveře
Jednokřídlé dveře, konstrukčně obdobné dveřím kabin nákladních automobilů, používané především u autobusů a autobusových vleků. Dveře jsou vybaveny klikou a zamykacím mechanismem, otevírají se ven, mimo vozidlo, po směru jízdy (panty jsou vpředu po směru jízdy, u některých nákladních automobilů se dveře otevíraly opačným směrem). Dveře ovládali samotní cestující ručně. Bezprostředně za dveřmi je schůdek (několik schůdků) vzhůru do vozidla. Nástupní prostor je zpravidla vybaven přídavným osvětlením. Řidič neměl na funkci dveří vliv, mohla být instalována signalizace otevřených dveří od dveřního kontaktu na kontrolní světlo umístěné na přístrojové desce. V blízkosti dveří (zevnitř vozidla) mohlo být v blízkosti dveří umístěno signalizační tlačítko. Tlačítkem dávali cestující řidiči signál – požadavek na výstup. Přehled o dění u dveří měl řidič hlavně zpětným zrcátkem, u modernějších autobusů (cca od šedesátých let dvacátého století) byly tyto dveře umístěny před přední nápravou autobusu, tedy přímo u pracoviště řidiče. Vozidla, používající tento typ dveří byla tzv. vysokopodlažní, kolizi otevřených dveří a nástupního ostrůvku nebylo třeba řešit. Po uzavření tyto dveře lícují s vnějším povrchem karoserie vozidla, i když bok vozidla není svislý, ale profilovaný (zaoblená karoserie autobusů Škoda 706 RTO). U nejstarších vozidel byla konstrukce dveří z tvrdého dřeva, oplechovaná. Dveře byly obvykle vybaveny oknem, jehož zasklení bylo do pryžových těsnících profilů. Obdobný typ dveří je využíván také u přepravníků osob.

Posuvné dveře
Dveře, posunující se po boku vozidla, nebo zasouvaná do stěny vozidla. Dveře vykonávají pouze přímočarý pohyb. Pohyb dveří zajišťuje dveřní mechanismus, například pneumatický válec. Spuštění otevíracího (zavíracího) mechanismu ovládá řidič ze svého stanoviště. Dveře mohou být vybaveny systémem poptávkového otevírání. Řidič může otevřít dveře i bez požadavku od cestujícího – například na konečné zastávce otevře řidič všechny dveře. Ovládání musí být uspořádáno tak, aby zásah řidiče byl nutný vždy (mimo havarijní situace). K vyslání požadavku na otevření má cestující k dispozici tlačítko jak na vnitřní, tak na vnější straně dveří. Prostor dveří je dodatečně nasvětlen a vybaven výstražnými světly. Pro signalizaci mohou být vestavěny signalizační LED i do samotného tlačítka. Otevření i uzavření každých jednotlivých dveří je signalizováno řidiči vozidla. Posuvné dveře, pohybující se po vnějším plášti vozidla jsou nevýhodné tím, že vyčnívají z obrysu vozu a je obtížné je účinným způsobem utěsnit proti vnikání proudu vzduchu a nečistot. Příkladem takových dveří jsou dveře souprav londýnského metra. Dveře zasouvané do boční stěny vozidla vyžadují takovou tloušťku stěny, do které je možné dveře skrýt. Takto jsou konstruovány dveře u starších vozů pražského metra a srovnatelných vozů stejného výrobce (Strojírna Mytišči, Ruská federace). Výhodou posuvných dveří je možnost odsunout dveřní křídla zcela mimo průchozí otvor tak, že žádná část dveří, ani dveřního mechanismu do průchodu nezasahuje.

Skládací dveře
Dveřní křídla se skládají do boku průchozího otvoru a tak ho v otevřeném stavu zužují. Běžná jsou provedení dvoukřídlé a čtyřkřídlé. Dveře jsou nejčastěji symetricky rozdělené, takže na každou stranu dveřního průchodu se skládá polovina dveří. Přesto existovaly dveře dvoukřídlé, kde se ale obě křídla skládala na jednu stranu (prakticky šlo o polovinu čtyřkřídlých dveří) nebo tříkřídlé dveře, dělené v poměru 2 + 1 (přední dveře autobusu Karosa ŠM 11). Tato konstrukce dveří byla běžná u vysokopodlažních vozidel pro hromadnou dopravu osob, konstruovaných po druhé světové válce až do doby, než se prosadily tzv. dveře předsuvné. Skládací dveře jsou ovládány výhradně osádkou vozidla, u vozidel vybavených stanovištěm průvodčího byly ovládány z tohoto stanoviště, u vozidel bez stanoviště průvodčího z pracoviště řidiče. Dveře mohly být ovládány jak jednotlivě, tak najednou. Prostor dveří byl dodatečně osvětlen, vybaven tlačítkem signalizace k řidiči, tlačítkem nouzového zastavení a světelnou signalizací uzavření uvnitř i vně. Každé jednotlivé dveře byly vybaveny také zvukovou signalizací před uzavřením. Rekonstruovaná vozidla (například různé modernizované varianty tramvají T3) mají dodatečně instalován systém poptávkového otevírání dveří. Pohonný mechanismus dveří je zpravidla umístěn ve skříni umístěné nad dveřním otvorem. Dveře jsou zpravidla vedeny pouze v horní části, spodní část je naváděna jen trnem na hraně dveřního křídla do tvarovaných zarážek (smeků). Nevýhodou tohoto systému je, že složená křídla dveří zužují průchozí otvor. U starších vozidel (autobusy Škoda 706 RO) se křídla skládala tak, že vnější plocha dveří zůstala vnější i po složení křídel dveří. Případné znečištění vnější strany dveří se tak snadno přenášelo na oděv cestujících. Dále také bylo obtížné montovat na dveře madla pro usnadnění nástupu po schodech, které se nacházely přímo za dveřmi. V pozdějších konstrukcích (autobusy Škoda 706 RTO, tramvaje Tatra T3) už byl smysl skládání dveří opačný. Po složení dveří zůstala na bocích průchozího otvoru vnitřní plocha dveří, na které také byla namontována madla. Skládací dveře jsou běžně prosklené, skla jsou upevněna v gumovém profilu. Křídla těchto dveří jsou typicky zcela rovná, což při zaoblení karoserie vytváří charakteristickou niku (výklenek) v boku karoserie.

Předsuvné dveře
Dveře jednokřídlé nebo dvoukřídlé, pákový mechanismus vysune křídla dveří mimo obrys boku vozidla a zasune je souběžně se stěnou vozidla. Křídla otevřených dveří jsou vysouvána zcela mimo vozidlo, tomu musí být přizpůsobena výška nástupních ostrůvků. Do dveřního průchodu ale u některých konstrukcí zasahuje dveřní pohon (pneumatický válec, pákový mechanismus). Dveřní křídla jsou konstruována jako kovový rám, okenní skla jsou utěsněna gumovým profilem nebo lepená. Tvar dveří může být libovolný, zavřené dveře lícují s tvarem boku vozu. Otevírání dveří ovládá ze svého pracoviště řidič (strojvedoucí), dveře jsou až na výjimky vybaveny poptávkovým otevíráním. Tlačítka otevírání dveří mohou být montována jak na konstrukci vozidla, tak přímo na křídlech dveří. V prostoru dveří může být instalováno veškeré obvyklé vybavení: tlačítko poptávkového otevírání, tlačítko znamení k řidiči pro zastavení, dodatečné osvětlení, světelná i zvuková signalizace uzavírajících se dveří, plošina pro vozíčkáře. V prostoru dveří může být umístěn hlasový komunikátor a kamera sledovacího systému.
