The act of being; graceful, sexy and alluring, while in the act of moving in a slow and deliberate manner. A form of Seduction.
Salma Hayek dances very slanky in the movie "From Dusk to Dawn".
by Jaysin Daniel February 12, 2010
A combination of swanky and lanky. Used to describe a tall beautiful woman of style and grace.
Katharine Hepburn is slanky.
by Paul B. Baker November 26, 2006
A combination of lanky and slimy. Used to describe people who are skinny and also possess slimy characteristics. Slimy characteristics include hitting on friend's sisters, mooching beer, and sleeping on bean-bag chairs.
That slanky f***er Hayden is hitting on my sister again. What a kike!

Child ID Card
Parents can obtain ID cards for their children under age 15 at any DMV customer service center.
In addition to serving as an identity document, the childs photograph is stored in DMVs database. If the child becomes missing, DMV can retrieve the image from the database and transmit it to law enforcement anywhere in the U. S.
Child ID cards:
- Are issued to a child under age 15.
- Require one identity document for the child, such as a birth certificate or passport.
Use the interactive Document Guide to determine
which documents you will need to bring to DMV, or refer to "Acceptable Documents for Obtaining a Driver's License or Photo ID Card"
- The parent must certify the child's identity and residency using the Identification Card Application for Minors (DL5).
- Expire at the end of the month in which the child was born when the child reaches an age divisible by five (e.g. 5, 10, 15)
- If the child's name appears on the parent's legal presence document, that document governs the expiration date of the child's legal presence.
- Costs $10.00.
What Is On a Child ID Card
The child ID card contains the following:
- Customer number
- Date of birth, height and gender
- Expiration date and issue date
- Full legal name and address
- Full-face photograph
- Statement "Not a license to operate a motor vehicle"
- Statement "Organ donor information"
Additional Information
To find out more about getting an ID card, refer to Obtaining an Identification Card.

Apple updates iPhone firmware
Apple has released a firmware update for the iPhone, giving Jesus phone devotees access to Google Map's Street View, keyboard settings and more. iphone_firmware_update iPhone 2.2 Software Update lets you turn off the keyboard's auto-correction. Hurrah! The free iPhone 2.2 Software Update adds extra functionality to Google …
all very nice but im STILL waiting for a satnav application with turn by voice, google maps just doesnt cut it, cmon apple whats the delay, Tom Tom had their software working on the iphone3g 2 seconds after it was released and we're still waiting !!
iPod touch
They've also released 2.2 for iPod touch, but inexplicably, it doesn't include the Maps updates such as Streetview, public transit and walking directions.
Once again, Apple is screwing iPod touch users...
I am so glad Apple are such a customer-focused company. They have listened to all of their customer feedback and implemented some really sought after features.
This is great news, just for the fact you can turn off auto-incorrect. I'm so sick of seeing that 'feature' changing what I typed just as I hit 'send'.
Wait for it...
Can I be the first to say (before everyone else does):
"Implement cut & paste instead of all these other useless things, you bunch of numpties".
Very Odd.
Samsung updated the firmware for my Mp3 Player just last week and they didn't get a report or even a post on digg.
Wonder why?
I have just updated to the new 2.2 sw version, guess what? It broke the internet connection on my phone!
Make sure you backup properly before installing!
Come on Apple, stop messing us all around and release a decent working update (pref with all the bluetooth features enabled and a decent sat nav)
Still no cut and paste then...
"Samsung updated the firmware for my Mp3 Player just last week and they didn't get a report or even a post on digg.
Wonder why?"
.... Cause no-one cares?
Nice but....
...still none of the features people actually want, such as proper turn-by-turn sat-nav (aka Tom-Tom, Garmin etc), cut and paste, or proper bluetooth support.
I'd really like to get rid of my aging WinMobile PDA with Tom-Tom, but can't....
Don't need a Sat-Nav to find your way around Paris, the videos are out there to prove it!
Because no-one cars, at a guess,
id be happy with just the satnav, i dont think apple have any intention of enabling full bluetooth though (mms anyone...)
You should have bought a "decent phone" if you wanted those features. It is stupid to buy a phone without this kind of stuff and then moan that it doesn't have any of it.
downloading it now
it might be worth it for being able to get podcasts over the 3g, if it actually works in a sensible manner
Why does everyone expect Apple to make a navigation app for the iPhone? Surely it would be better to be using something like TomTom since they have many years experience creating such apps and would no doubt produced a way more polished product than Apple's first offering.
"you'll also have access to public transport and walking directions"
What the article doesn't tell you is that you may wish to disregard the directions: earlier today a cow-orker showed my the suggested route from the office here in Farringdon to his home in West London. While the rest of us would jump on the Tube, a true worshipper of the Jesusphone gets sent via Crawley and Slough (presumably so they can see Gatwick and Heathrow on their way home) - which might put a bit of a kink in any ideas about being home before last orders...
They've moved us into euroland
Some good minor improvements but the bad news, Maps now gives us distances in 'km' instead of 'miles'. A slip up somewhere - perhaps Apple think we are fully euro-ised !
@David Kelly
I don't think anyone does expect Apple to release a navigation app. What people are complaining about is that they are blocking other companies (such as Tom Tom) from releasing theirs through the App Store (which is the only way to get things onto the iPhone)
All very nice Apple (and appreciated) but there are still several outstanding issues:
Cut and Paste
Flash Player
Sat Nav app
Proper Bluetooth
Oh and I personally find auto correct to be good although it doesn't seem to learn as it goes - mins still gets changed to mind evern though I tell it not to make the change.
"I'll be on msn messenger in 10 mins" becomes "I'll be on men messenger in 10 mind" every freaking time :(
@Phil Arundellm @Jon Kale
"What people are complaining about is that they are blocking other companies (such as Tom Tom) from releasing theirs through the App Store"
Are they though? From what I've read TomTom are working on an iPhone version but have some way to go yet.
"While the rest of us would jump on the Tube, a true worshipper of the Jesusphone gets sent via Crawley and Slough"
Is that Apple's fault or Google's fault? AFAIK Google provide the directions!
Safari fix
I hope this really does improve Safari stability, the damn browser crashes all the time. It's by far the best mobile browser I've used but the constant crashing is a real nuisance (although IE6 on Windows Mobile sounds promising if they can offer Flash support and it doesn't run like a dog thanks to the usual underpowered CPU they put in HTC handsets).
1 day on
Installed 2.2 now and have run into problems.
Typical Apple - fix bugs and introduce new ones!
*Fixed emergency calls allowing locked iPhone to dial any number
*Speed in general seems to have improved
* Change Safari address bar (search is now positioned like the desktop version - to the side rather than below the address box field)
*Messed up Google Maps - KM rather than Miles
*Update resets brightness (easily reset)
*Lost SMS privacy option for previews
Roll on 2.2.1...
PodCasts in chronological order yet?
This is my major issue!
My podcast language course (from iTunes store no less) is listed from newest to oldest... (with no resort option)
Maybe it's just me (?) but personally I like to listen to the first epsidode first, and the last episode, er, last!!
Another inexplicable annoyance is that the ringer volume seems linked to other volume settings on the phone, duh?
Really can't be arsed to update at the moment, especially after just reading about a horrible picture scaling bug:
....finally, I am also patiently waiting for a proper GPS Turn by Turn app. (when?)
...oh, and video recording! (I'm guesing that's gonna be the iPhone Video... and we'll all have to pay for the upgrade).
@Jon Kale
I'm going to guess that's because Google Maps doesn't have Tube directions (I don't know). More stuff is being added to it all the time, mind- all the transit options in the US work perfectly, of course.
Street view seems like a waste of time though- you mean I can stand in the street and use my iPhone to see what's around me?! Staggering.
My bad... they fixed it!
I was weak & couldn't resist updating... but I should've checked before moaning, as the podcast sort order is indeed (thankfully) fixed in 2.2
...now if only I could figure out how to put multiple pins in Maps?
@ Collin
"*Messed up Google Maps - KM rather than Miles"
that sounds like an improvement to me.
Still sucky Apple
Pwnage 2.2.1 is out...

Cartan's Criterion
It's obvious that if is nilpotent then will be solvable. And Engel's theorem tells us that if each is ad-nilpotent, then is itself nilpotent. We can now combine this with our trace criterion to get a convenient way of identifying solvable Lie algebras.
If is a linear Lie algebra and for all and , then is solvable. We'd obviously like to use the trace criterion to show this, but we need a little massaging first.
The catch is that our consists of all the such that sends to . Clearly , but it may not be all of ; our hypothesis states that for all , but the criterion needs it to hold for all .
To get there, we use the following calculation, which is a useful lemma in its own right:
Now, if — so — and then
But since we know that , which means that the hypothesis kicks in: and so .
Then we know that all are nilpotent endomorphisms, which makes them ad-nilpotent. Engel's theorem tells us that is nilpotent, which means is solvable.
We can also extend this out to abstract Lie algebras: if is any Lie algebra such that for all and , then is solvable. Indeed, we can apply the linear version to the image to see that this algebra is solvable. The kernel is just the center , which is abelian and thus automatically solvable. The image is thus the solvable quotient of by a solvable kernel, so we know that itself is solvable.

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy Reserves clinched the MLS Reserve League West Division with a 6-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps Reserves on Friday.
Jack McBean scored two goals in the second half as Rafael Garcia, Tommy Meyer, Andrew Boyens and Pat Noonan each added goals of their own in the convincing romp that set a club record for goals in a Reserve League match. Noonan opened the scoring in the fourth minute of play, but the Galaxy added five in the second half from Meyer in the 55th, Garcia in the 63rd Boyens in the 70th and a pair from McBean in the 88th and 91st. McBean's brace gives the 17-year-old the Reserve League lead in goals scored with five.
With the win, LA seal the West Division title with a 6-3-1 record, a year after finishing in dead last in the West with a record of 1-6-2.
A few notes and thoughts from the match:
*With three assists: Raul Mendiola, Pat Noonan, Michael Stephens and Kyle Nakazawa tie for the Galaxy Reserve lead.
*Seven former Galaxy Academy players took part in the match: Galaxy Under-20s: Rafael Garcia, Michael Stephens and Brian Perk, Galaxy Under-18s: Jack McBean, Oscar Sorto, Raul Mendiola and Drew Murphy. At the final whistle, six of the 11 Galaxy players on the field were former Academy players.
*Several Galaxy First team players were in attendance including Landon Donovan, Juninho, Todd Dunivant and others.
*The win was an important confidence builder for this group, who are likely to play during LA's CONCACAF Champions League match in El Salvador against Isidro Metapán on October 25th.
As part of my commitment to longer form writing on this website as well as the humanization of the members of the team, I spoke to Galaxy assistant coach Curt Onalfo about his battle with Hodgkin's disease.
Check out the story here and listen to his interview with Joe Tutino below.
Following today's Reserve League finale, I'll have even more on Onalfo as well as his thoughts on how his battles have empowered his son, Galaxy Under-16 player Christian Onalfo.
Jose Villarreal enjoyed a big day on Friday as the LA Galaxy Homegrown Player helped United States Under-20's earn a 2-0 victory over the Scotland Under-21's on Friday at the Marbella Cup.
Villarreal scored twice in the span of ten minutes with a pair of goals in the 20th and 30th minute off throw-ins from fellow Galaxy youth product and UCLA freshman defender Javan Torre.
The U.S. is now 1-1 during the tournament and will take on Azerbaijan on Tuesday.
Apologies for the lean post amount today to everyone.
But it is important that you get this update...The LA Galaxy Reserves will go for the West Division title against the Vancouver Whitecaps Reserve squad at 10 am on Friday. A victory against the Whitecaps and LA will clinch the title.
The will take place at U.S. Soccer field #3, which is near the main entrance of the stadium and is free to the public.
Robbie Keane will not be suiting up for Ireland in their World Cup Qualifer against Germany on Friday due to an Achillies injury, the Irish Federation announced on Thursday. According to the release, Keane will remain with the squad and "will hopefully" be available for Ireland's next qualifier against the Faroe Islands next Tuesday.
Ireland are currently in third place in Group C, tied on points with Sweden with three, but trailing on goal differential. Germany lead the group with six points, having played one more match than both Sweden and Ireland.
There was no "Ask the Insider" question this week so we're mixing it up a little bit.
I'm taking questions on every topic relating to the Galaxy and those that are interested in asking questions can respond here or on the club's Facebook page.
If your question is selected to be answered, it will not only get a blog post response, but the winning question will also get a pair of tickets to the Galaxy's Regular Season finale on Oct. 28 against the Seattle Sounders.

CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy left back Todd Dunivant tested himself for the first time on Wednesday as he looks to return from a hip pointer injury that prevented him from appearing in last Saturday's match against Real Salt Lake.
According to Dunivant, the injury first surfaced during LA's 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids last month as he experienced a large welt after the match. Although the left back admitted to being sore, it was not until the beginning of the Galaxy's training session last Thursday that Dunivant experienced an issue in his oblique muscles that he described as feeling like "someone was stabbing me in the gut." The injury ultimately forced him from action against RSL -- as Bryan Gaul got the nod at left back -- but even though the injury sounds severe, Dunivant was back on the training ground on Wednesday as he looks to return to full fitness ahead of LA's next match against the San Jose Earthquakes on Oct. 21.
Following his first real soccer fitness work out, Dunivant admitted that it is still "day to day" before he engages in full training as he has been limited to predominantly gym work as he works through his injury. After training on Wednesday, head coach Bruce Arena sounded optimistic stating that he believed Dunivant would be on the field very shortly" as he is "moving along fine."
Even though the left back believes that he will not be ready for Friday's Reserve League match, he is optimistic about this recovery.
DUNIVANT: "I'm progressing. It's only really been about a week now, a week as of tomorrow. It's still been a pretty short amount of time, but today, I started doing more dynamic stuff. I've done straight forward jogging till now, so to do more dynamic stuff like weaves and more explosive stuff. I still don't have full range so it's not fully there yet, but it's getting there so I'm definitely optimistic to be available for next week."
(On how the injury first occurred...)
DUNIVANT: "It was a play in the Colorado game; I had a huge welt on the side of my hip. I didn't know where it came from, but I remember being sore, but sometimes that happens and your adrenaline is going and you don't realize it. I was able to train the next day, but with the swelling, it was actually deep enough that it pulled on my oblique and I ended up straining that so it's all in the same area. Kind of two things to deal with at once, a nice weird injury, but fortunately, we have a bye this week so that gives me a little extra time."
(On his experience during last Thursday's training session...)
"I trained Wednesday and I felt the hip pointer, which obviously was a little sore, but I was able to get through training fine and the first thing on Thursday, the first real soccer movement, the oblique went because it was so tight and there was a lot of swelling and bleeding in there, that pulled that muscle and threw everything of balance. It's one of those weird freak things, but something that I can deal with."
(On how a schedule to return to full training...)
DUNIVANT: "It's going to be day to day, today was our first day of really pushing any sort of dynamic stuff and it went fairly well. I could tell that I don't have the full range yet, but it'll be ready soon and we'll try again tomorrow and see how that goes and see how it responds to today because it was quite a bit of a big load on it today so we'll take it day by day now, and we'll take it from there. Fortunately, it's still early in this week and we've obviously got all of next week. I want to get back as soon as possible so I can get fit and get back in the rhythm."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy Reserves will play their final Reserve League game of the season on Friday against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Reserves for a chance to win the West Division championship, but while a title will be a nice reward for the club's reserve squad, their true reward has been measured in the development that they have experienced this season.
Among those that has developed immensely this season has been rookie midfielder Kenny Walker. Drafted with the second round of the MLS SuperDraft with the 38th overall pick, the 23-year-old rookie from the University of Louisville has seen considerable time for the club's reserves this season appearing in all nine games this season. The Reserve League showings have been a boon for Walker, who has also made one start for the first team as well as two appearances in CONCACAF Champions League play.
During his time with the Galaxy Reserves, Walker has formed a solid midfield partnership with rookie Rafael Garcia, whose ability to go forward at times, balances Walker's defensive abilties.
Although his career is still in its beginning stages, Walker admits it has been a "blast" and a "dream come true" playing with the Reserve League squad.
WALKER: "Development wise, learning the speed of play and from the first team guys and building a team with the second team guys has been a blast and a dream come true pretty much...I've grown in the speed of play, it's a lot different from college because you have to know what you're going to do before you get the ball and your first touch has to be 10 times better than it was in college and even thought you work on it everyday, it takes a little bit to develop it. So getting into [Reserve] games as well as going against the first team everyday and comparing yourself against some of the best players in the world-- guys like David [Beckham], Robbie [Keane] and Landon [Donovan] is good."
(On the chance to win a Reserve League West Division title...)
WALKER: "It's been a long couple weeks, just training so it's nice to have a game to look forward to so it's just fun being able to get ready for something and play for a championship. It's just the Reserve League, but it's big to us so it's going to be fun...it's been excellent coming out here and playing with these guys in training and building up with the Reserve team. We've done very well so we'd like to cap it off with a win.
The United States Under-20's dropped the first match in the Marbella Cup on Wednesday, 2-1 to Canada.
LA Galaxy youth product Javan Torre started the match and Jose Villarreal came on at the start of the second half as former Galaxy youth player Mario Rodriguez scored the lone goal for the young Americans. . The start was a surprising one for Torre as he was thrown immediately into the lineup by U-20 head coach Tab Ramos, just hours after being called into the squad.
For those unfamiliar with the UCLA freshman defender's Galaxy credentials, Torre was a regular for the Galaxy Under-18's last year, playing 25 times for the U-18's, in addition, to a pair of appearances for the Reserve League squad. Torre has made six appearances and one start for the Bruins this season.
The U.S. U-20's are back in action on Friday against Scotland.

Is customer engagement more about damage control, or helping customers understand their options?
CEO FORUM: Dealing with Disruption
Leaders adapt to strategic shifts in the utility landscape.
it's not being used, and then be charged up again at a different time. Frankly, I think the robust type of system and the battery technology to support that is further down the road. So there's more work to be done to understand what circumstances would create a commercially viable scenario for V2G.
In the near term it's really about the environmental and efficiency benefits of EVs. They're a much more efficient means of propulsion, and you're able to use off-peak charging, which improves overall system utilization and efficiency. Plus it marries well with some of the most ubiquitous renewable resources, wind power.
Fortnightly: I know the smart grid is still evolving, and the first generation of EVs won't have all the features that are on the drawing board. For SCE's planning purposes, how far out do you see those things coming together?
Craver, SCE: They're kind of hitting the deck at the same time. Software that's being installed in smart meters right now could interface with home-area networks and ultimately with EVs. The vehicles have a fair amount of electronics on board for interfacing with chargers, so I'd say they're mutually reinforcing each other.– SA

On the audio side, the BDP-105 supports bit-stream output and onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio. With SACDs you can take your pick of native DSD or PCM via HDMI or analog. The unit offers 7.1 channel analog outputs plus two ESS Sabre32 Reference DACs, a toroidal linear power supply, dedicated stereo outputs with both RCA and XLR balanced connections, and a headphone amplifier connected directly to the DAC.
If you have a vast digital music collection on a computer or external drive, the Oppo becomes an audiophile's friend by offering an asynchronous USB DAC.
One of the most interesting features, and one I've not seen before on a Blu-ray player, is dual HDMI inputs (one supporting MHL) so you can connect other components to take advantage of the Oppo's processing power. This means you can use the Oppo to upscale your Apple TV, game console, smartphone or cable box to 4K.
Strangely, with all those connections, Wi-Fi isn't built into the player. It comes with a Wi-Fi adapter though, so it's all good. The built-in Ethernet port is a better choice for a network connection anyway.
The setup menu and options are equally stuffed. Complete audio and picture adjustments let an installer tune the player to your system and room more than any Blu-ray player I've seen. This is clearly a serious home theater device, not the kind of player you hook up to a mediocre flat panel in the den. It even offers a stretch mode for systems that use a projector with an anamophic lens. In that mode the black bars on 2.35:1 aspect radio movies are eliminated, making a perfect fit for your Cinemascope screen.
With such a comprehensive wish list of features, you'd expect stellar performance, and that's what I got. First, it's pretty fast. Big box Blu-ray players still tend to be slow-pokes when it comes to loading discs, changing menus and going online, but the BDP-105 wasted none of my time. I hit the player with all the video-killing test patterns I could find, and the Oppo batted them away like Godzilla swatting down fighter jets.
For movie torture tests, I ran Jet Li's Flying Swords of Dragon Gate. While much of the action, and all of the dialog, is a little ridiculous, the disc can be a serious challenge for a video processor. The opening scene in particular, where the camera cruises though a medieval shipyard, presents an obstacle course of masts, ropes and waving flags. My Panasonic Blu-ray player passes a lot of that out as artifact mashed potatoes, but the Oppo rendered most of the edges smooth and clear for my 120-inch screen.Facebook and Twitter.

While Lionel Messi is a near shoe-in to win an unprecedented fourth FIFA men's Player of the Year award, the competition for the women's award holds far more intrigue.
The U.S. gold medal-winning team at the London Olympics could dominate the women's awards at FIFA's annual gala ceremony on Monday in Geneva.
U.S. forwards Abby Wambach and Alex Morgan are competing with five-time winner Marta of Brazil for best player, and former coach Pia Sundhage is favored to be selected best coach of a women's team ahead of two male rivals: Norio Sasaki of silver-medalist Japan and Bruno Bini of France.
Wambach, who finished third in the FIFA voting last year, and Morgan seek to become the first American winner since Mia Hamm got the 2002 award. Wambach scored five goals at the Olympics and Morgan got three as the U.S. took its third consecutive gold medal. Marta's Brazil was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Japan.
"Obviously, any kind of individual awards are a product of what a team can do," Wambach said. "But what a tremendous honor for all of us, and even more so to be recognized with Alex, someone who compliments me in almost every way on the field, and also with our coach who set us both up to succeed. We'll be excited to go to Switzerland with the hearts of champions as this will always be about winning titles as a team and that's something we are really proud of this year."
Sundhage, who has since returned home to coach Sweden's women's national team, is favored after losing out on the award last year to Sasaki after Japan won the World Cup.
Messi -- the Barcelona and Argentina forward who scored a record 91 goals in 2012 -- is the favorite to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or prize ahead of club teammate Andres Iniesta and rival Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid.
A fourth straight title would lift Messi above FIFA World Player of the Year three-time winners Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo of Brazil. Since the original Ballon d'Or was launched in 1956 as a European award, Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff and Marco van Basten also earned a hat trick of titles.
Victory for Messi would fuel renewed debate over how his talent compares with Pele and Diego Maradona, whose careers were over or peaked before FIFA started its award in 1991. The South American greats were never eligible for the old Ballon d'Or run by France Football magazine. The awards merged in 2010.
"(Michael) Jordan dominated his sport and Messi dominates this one," former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said last year, in comparing his protege to the basketball icon.
Iniesta starred at the European Championship last summer as Spain's relentless passing game won a third straight major tournament title.
Ronaldo, the 2008 FIFA award winner and twice runner-up to Messi, impressed with prolific scoring to help Madrid take away Barcelona's Spanish league title, then carried Portugal to the Euro 2012 semifinals.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque is a candidate for the men's coaching award, along with the Madrid-Barcelona duo of Jose Mourinho and Guardiola, who left the Catalan club in May.
The four main awards were voted on by coaches and captains of national teams worldwide, plus invited journalists. The votes were filed in November before Messi gained yet more praise in his successful pursuit of Gerd Mueller's milestone of 85 goals in a calendar year.
Messi's total included 79 for Barcelona and 12 for Argentina, to overtake Mueller's tally for Bayern Munich and West Germany in 1972.
"I'm delighted for him," Mueller said. "He is an incredible player, gigantic. He's such a nice and modest professional."

After a week of amazing venues Julien pipped to the post with gothic church, One Mayfair. We were greeted by pyramids of chocolates and chocolate themed cocktails - this was going to be a great end to a very long day! In keeping with other collections, vevlet was strong with black gothic gowns swaying down the catwalks with intricate lace detailing and refreshing high necklines. When pieces weren't covered in fur, the chunky knitwear was also a highlight with heavy plied cable knitted twinsets and simple sweater dresses with lace inserts. The show rounded off with the usual killer gowns with thigh high slits and crystals but a mauve knife pleat 70s overlay batwing dress was the top of the pops!

With a business model rooted in car repair as well as the specialist market for original quality car products, A.T.U is expanding beyond Weiden in the Upper Palatinate of Germany, and stepping up to the European stage. The company is already represented throughout Austria, and the network of branches is now being expanded to include Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
Wanted: Secure, readily-available email and web communications
Secure and readily available email and web communication is pivotal to the organization and performance of any company operating across borders in Europe. The availability of comprehensive reporting functions is an essential factor in being able to provide complete evidence at all times, to both investors and stakeholders, as well as within the scope of legal regulations. The existing decentralized IT structures at A.T.U, the product of years of development, were no longer fulfilling these requirements. "We are an international company on the path to significant further expansion. Each year we open around 50 new branches," explains Manfred Gerlach, IT Manager at A.T.U. "Therefore, there is a need to protect our IT systems centrally from any form of malicious attack and to safeguard effective web and email communication for our 15,000 employees. This necessitates reliable, fail-safe implementation of all IT systems. In addition, to proactively avoid interruptions, we must also guarantee maximum protection from attacks and hackers who use the Internet and IT environments."
To address these issues, A.T.U, together with its system integrator and consulting company "circular," has developed a completely new security concept. The decentralized installations have been gradually phased out, with the end goal of fully centralizing security management.
"The influx of spam has been drastically cut – by as much as 99%. The risks associated with malicious emails, viruses and malware infiltrating our systems and compromising operation have been radically reduced."Bernhard Panzer
Network, Server and Security Manager, A.T.U
Choosing scalable, centralized solutions
From the outset, only high-performance, scalable solutions were considered suitable for the protection of all email traffic and the web gateway at A.T.U. Comprehensive management and reporting functions were also essential, particularly since the company has grown from a one-time family business to a large-scale European enterprise. A.T.U must verify the availability of its IT systems and must thoroughly document who communicates via the corporate platform. Specific reports must also be produced for use in IT auditing and the credit services sector, as well as to meet legal requirements. It was in relation to these specific requirements that A.T.U considered products from McAfee's Network Security Business Unit (formerly Secure Computing). In addition to a well-engineered range of security features, McAfee Email Gateway (IronMail) and McAfee Web Gateway (Webwasher) both provide comprehensive internal and external reporting and monitoring functions. For instance, IT administrators can use these functions at any time to analyze where capacity bottlenecks occur and which factors impair network traffic.
This reporting function facilitates system optimization and indicates where investment should be channeled in the future. Furthermore, the solutions from McAfee comprise a multitude of security features. The McAfee Web Gateway application includes URL filtering, anti-virus and anti-malware protection on the gateway, ActiveX and JavaScript checking and probing of SSL connections as well as protection against data leakage. McAfee Email Gateway guards against spam, viruses, Trojans, worms, zombies and DoS attacks and analyses incoming and outgoing messages. Both applications are incorporated into McAfee's globally implemented TrustedSource™ realtime reputation system, and can be used to pro-actively block suspect data communication before malware or viruses can take hold in the corporate network.
The consulting company circular had recommended the positioning of McAfee Email Gateway and McAfee Web Gateway as central, scalable components of the security infrastructure to secure email and web communication. "From our point of view, the products from McAfee are virtually indispensable within a high-availability IT security architecture due to McAfee's market-leading technologies," explains Alexander Krist, Sales Manager at circular.
Following an initial security audit and comprehensive security analysis, circular developed a solution scenario for A.T.U. The central concept included the construction and operation of a super-ordinate IT security infrastructure at the company's headquarters. This infrastructure would manage and secure all email and web communication for the entire A.T.U workforce.
Drastic decrease in spam activity correlates to an increase in employee efficiency
After agreement was reached between A.T.U and circular, A.T.U tested McAfee Email Gateway and McAfee Web Gateway for several weeks in order to evaluate the performance of the products in a network environment. "The implementation and the entire test procedure were completed without issue," says Krist. "For our part, we were confident of the performance capabilities and strengths of the products right from the start. The test showed A.T.U that the applications met the requirements in all respects, and that they are very easy to manage."
A.T.U put both new solutions directly into live operation immediately following the test phase. Both Email Gateway and Web Gateway have been in reliable, 24/7 operation ever since. The solutions rule out the possibility of anyone manipulating, destroying, or spying on sensitive company information. McAfee Email Gateway and McAfee Web Gateway also save A.T.U employees a great deal of time by helping them to concentrate more closely on their principal activities.
"Our employees are very happy with the new solution," explains Bernhard Panzer, Network, Server and Security Manager at A.T.U. "The influx of spam has been drastically cut - by as much as 99%. The risks associated with malicious emails, viruses and malware infiltrating our systems and compromising operations have been radically reduced."
After completion of the migration process, all access to ERP in the future will be through the new centralized IT infrastructure. In addition, A.T.U is evaluating McAfee data encryption products for the next stage of its plan to manage email security with selected communication partners.

Made the clarification with an Asterisk, 2hit6
Some bad news... the nice shiny new module I bought to help with sound recording is... ...broken... after the move home from campus. It was packed away tightly, but something must have gone wrong and I'm going to have to wait until Tuesday to see about fixing it. Even then, as it's most definitely broken, it will still probably be a few weeks before I get a new one, which means I won't be able to do much for a video guide. *sighs*
In response to 2Hit6, I'll see how it's worded in my guide, but I tried to make it known that that enchant slot is really quite open. You're right that the enchant that I recommended isn't a ton of mp5, but even if you cast non-stop during the entire fight (which on many fights isn't the truth) you're still going to get an extra Holy Light from it, and that's worth something. It's really a personal preference. I've never had problems running from Blistering Cold or any other mechanics where you need to "run", so I don't see the value of it for myself. But, if someone else is having trouble with running, then they might certainly consider it, dropping 1 or 2 extra Holy Lights out of their potential for a fight isn't much, especially if they end the fight with more than enough mana anyways (then they've technically lost nothing).
"The top 3 recommended Glyphs for Flash of Light are: Glyph of Seal of Light, Glyph of Flash of Light, and then Glyph of Holy Light."
This was posted for glyphing on holy paladins using FoL wouldn't you want to use Glyph of Beacon of Light instead of Glyph of Holy Light, because of the extra 30 seconds on the timer? Yes you use Glyph of Holy Light once and a while to heal but id think Beacon of Light would be more useful.....if I'm wrong please let me know just my wondering.
Alright, I made the change, but not in the way you expect. The recommendation was intentionally made for a couple of reasons. First, even in the FoL style of healing, you should still be using Holy Light, on some fights, you'll likely use it quite a bit, and the extra splash healing from the Glyph can be extremely valuable during moments of heavy damage when Flash of Light simply isn't enough. Second, Glyph of Beacon of Light is used more for its mana conservation than anything else, which is something that FoL-style of healing isn't terribly worried about, usually. However, it is useful in that you'll still want to watch your mana, and it, more importantly, helps you to free up more GCDs, which is pretty important if you're firing out those quick, medium heals from the FoL-style. In the end, it comes down to personal play style and needs. I can make recommendations to those who look for them, but players who understand themselves and their wants are going to know what's best for them. To them I can only offer them a pat on the back for being a good Holy Paladin.
Wow, very nice guide. Detailed, well thought-out; it must've taken quite a while to write.
I have a question, though. I currently play a Discipline Priest, and I was wondering (if you had played this particular class/spec combo) how similar the healing style is? I know, for example, Paladins have no access to spells that make Priests what they are, for example Power Word: Shield, Prayer of Mending, and Renew, but would you say the jump from Disc Priest to Holy Paladin would be gradual, or a direct change of style?
I have a Disc Priest main and a Holy Pally alt (well, offspec of an alt), sooo:
There are very few parallels between the two classes. I guess both are very spammy healers - Disc Priests spamming bubbles nonstop, Holy Paladins typically are spamming HL on the tanks nonstop. There is no real comparison between Sacred Shield and PW:S though, even though they both are absorbs (and both are fantastic).
Holy Paladins also seem a lot more focused than Disc Priests - Disc you're often told to either watch a group, or help out on all the tanks, or just bubble spam the whole raid, only occasionally am I told to heal a single target. With a Paladin, you're often told to Beacon one tank and heal-bomb the other which is a very different playstyle.
Oh, there is a comparison though! Cooldowns. Disc Priests obviously have Pain Suppression, which is AMAZING as we all know. Holy Paladins actually have several defensive cooldowns available - Aura Mastery, Divine Sac/Guardian, Imp Lay on Hands, and Hand of Sacrifice are all extremely useful cooldowns. (See this is what gets me when I see people say "lol Holy Pally is so faceroll" - sure anyone can stand there and spam Holy Light, but to know when to use your cooldowns properly takes a tremendous amount of knowledge and awareness)
Another comparison could be the large mana pools that drain quickly if you don't play smart. Disc Priests have less of an issue, but on some fights you either need to gear for a bit more regen/mana, or just watch your Rapture CD and make sure it pops on several people at once. (Preferably the second solution so you don't sacrifice SP) For Holy Paladins this is a much bigger issue, which is why they all gem intellect (well, the vast majority) so they can be less reliant on Divine Plea.
Tuskar's Vitality is also good if your tank happens to run out of range/los, you can get within range/los quicker. I guess it depends on everyone's personal preference I guess, I just prefer to have that extra oomph! for running away :P
I have a lowbie Disc priest which makes for poor comparison at level. I think Harmacy has it mostly spot on, with the exception of Divine Plea. We increase our Intellect because a large mana pool makes Divine Plea even better so we like it even more! But yeah, most any raiding healer right now should have plenty of ease dealing with mana regen whether it be through gear or CDs, and most of them are pretty spammy as well. It's just the nature of the current content. Should change (hopefully) come Cataclysm. I'll be updating this guide when my Holy Paladin is 85 and I intend to make my Holy Paladin my first character to 85 (go go healer leveling!).
My broken part has been sent out to the Manufacturer and, hopefully, they replace it, but it will likely be a week or two regardless. Until then the video is still on hold.
@ 2Hit6 - Can't argue with math. Still, I did change the guide to reflect your suggestion. The foot enchant is certainly something that's a bit more variable and dependent on play style. I simply haven't had issues running to or away from things, but it can be a major issue for a lot of Holy Paladins, in which case they will most certainly want to pick up Tuskarr's Vitality, without a doubt. Thanks for the suggestion.
Posted the first Blog in a series I will be running called Bubble Blog
In addition, I've updated the first post with a small Index of the posts in the guide (including the new Bubble Blog post) and may update it further in the future as needed. I will probably go through the guide and make small cosmetic changes shortly.

I anticipate having the Holy Paladin Video Guide (unofficial) up by Wednesday. I'll keep you informed and let you know if anything changes.
Edit: This should be done tomorrow, but the actual posting of it may be delayed.
Edit 2: It's completely done, however, the posting of this is delayed for a bit. I'm not sure how long, but it will be available Soon™

Holy Pally videos up. I really wanted to share these with you guys, so I uploaded them. If Tankspot wishes to pick them up and post them on their own channel, then I'll let you know and I may take these ones down and change the embeds. Either way, no matter what happens, the videos are done and you'll be able to see them.
I guess the foot enchant is personal preference, but in fights like LK where you have to move quickly for defile etc, i don't think many can argue with Tuskarr's vitality.
Have to say, ive seen the light and gone the holy light build. I can still spam my way through 10mans with flash of light, but spamming holylights is like spamming lay on hands Just have to get used to the mana regen/cd's etc etc
haha, well it tops up pretty much any dps in 1 cast, and at a 1.2second cast, tanks are at full health very quickly.(obviously with the 25% buff)
Firstly, thank you so much for this post. It has been incredibly helpful. I have a Level 80 Tankadin (reasonably well geared) and have chosen to Off-Spec Holy so when I find myself a guild I can hope to bring some options to any Raid Teams being setup.
Now as I have been trawling through the Heroic 5-mans to gear up my Pally tank I have picked up some decent (I think) Pally healer gear on an OS roll - don't worry, I always ask if anyone objects to an OS roll... And to be honest the Pally healer gear seems pretty obsolete to any other class than another Pally...
Anyway, I digress. I am currently kitted out in my Healadin kit/spec here: http://www.wowhead.com/profile=eu.saurfang.darkkpal
I should point out I have never Raided so all gear/emblems have come from Heroic 5-mans so for me, when I say decent gear I am refering to drops from ICC 5 man content and Triumph emblem gear (although my Tankadin has a couple of frosts from saving up).
With that in mind, and having read this thread I am a little confused as to which spec/stats/play-style to go for.
While my gear is not low, my skill in using my Pally to heal is having only run 10-20 norm 5-mans and 6 or 7 HC 5man. I have been using Heroic Nexus, Violet Hold to practice and have done ok (no wipes yet but a few fatalities). And will be going up a dungeon each time to try my healing out on harder content (I know its not really "hard" can tank it all a breeze but I'm new to healing so.... Hard! )
This thread seems to point to "beginner" pally tanks (fresh 80s) going for Holy/Ret - which I am - but also to go the Holy Light build (int int int)... Have I understood correctly? I always thought the Holy/Ret was for FoL build from other reading material so this seems to contradict to me... Anyway, therefore I have gemmed (where I can) with Int - HOWEVER... I seem to be inclined to FoL as my main filler (seems more comfortable) which to me indicates that I should really go SP. As you can see... Confused
After all that I guess my real question is this: For someone with my level gear running almost exclusively Heroic 5-mans what would be considered the optimal spec (Holy/Ret or Holy/Prot) and therefore which "play-style" i.e. FoL (SP) or HL (Int)?
Thanks for any help anyone can give
Hi Darkkpal!
Crit is to a certain degree manareg for holydins and due to the low mana pool you have in your current gear it is more desireable than utility from the prot tree.
It's not like HL paladins don't cast FoL. We just do it to conserve mana when no damage is there or anticipated. HL gets cast at least once every 10 seconds to keep the haste buff up nevertheless.
What you can easily do improve from a HL point of view is exchange your libram for the ilvl200 badge one that reduces the cost of HL.
Did I mention that I would advice you to get comfortable with HL style healing? =)
Anyway don't get yourself cornered to much. If HL healing just is not for you then try FoL which is working out also. Come Cata come change whatever you choose.

Everyone knows what the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame look like, but have you seen the classics that hide beyond the city's traditional tourist circuits? Try some of these…
Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
- Critics choice
Père-Lachaise is the celebrity cemetery – it has almost anyone French, talented and dead that you care to mention. Not even French, for that matter. Creed and nationality have never prevented entry: you just had to have lived or died in Paris or have an allotted space in a family tomb.
- Boulevard de Ménilmontant, 20e, Paris, France
Devout King Louis IX (St Louis, 1226-70) had a hobby of accumulating holy relics. In the 1240s, he bought what was advertised as the Crown of Thorns, and ordered Pierre de Montreuil to design a shrine. The result was Sainte-Chapelle. With 15m (49ft) windows, the upper level appears to consist almost entirely of stained glass. The windows depict hundreds of scenes from the Old and New Testaments, culminating with the Apocalypse in the rose window.
- 6 boulevard du Palais, 1er, Paris, France
Palais de Chaillot
This immense pseudo-classical building was constructed by Azéma, Boileau and Carlu for the 1937 international exhibition, with giant sculptures of Apollo by Henri Bouchard, and inscriptions by Paul Valéry. The Palais houses the Musée National de la Marine and the Musée de l'Homme (closed for renovation until 2012). In the east wing are the Théâtre National de Chaillot and the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine.
- Place du Trocadero, 16e, Paris, France
Tour St-Jacques
- Critics choice
Loved by the Surrealists, this solitary Flamboyant Gothic belltower with its leering gargoyles is all that remains of St-Jacques-La-Boucherie church, built for the powerful Butchers' Guild in 1508-22. The statue of Blaise Pascal at the base commemorates his experiments on atmospheric pressure, carried out here in the 17th century. A weather station now crowns the 52m (171ft) tower.
- Square de la Tour Saint-Jacques, 4e, Paris, France
La Conciergerie
- Critics choice
The Conciergerie looks every inch medieval. However, much of the façade was added in the 1850s, long after Marie-Antoinette, Danton and Robespierre were imprisoned here during the Revolution. The 13th-century Bonbec tower, the 14th-century César and Argent towers, and the Tour de l'Horloge all survive from the Capetian palace.The visit takes you through the Salle des Gardes and the Salle des Gens d'Armes, an impressive vaulted Gothic hall built between 1301 and 1315 for Philippe 'le Bel'.
- 2 boulevard du Palais, 1er, Paris, France
Petit Palais
Despite it's elegant, Belle Époque allure the 'Little Palace' is overshadowed by its big brother, Le Grand Palais, just across the road. But ignore it and you'll miss out on one of Paris's loveliest fine arts museums, with an extensive mish-mash of works by Poussin, Doré, Courbet and the impressionists, as well as other paintings and sculptures from the Antiquity to 1900. The building, built by Charles Girault for the 1900 for the World Fair, is lit entirely by natural light and sits around a pretty little garden – a plum spot for coffee and cakes.
- avenue Winston-Churchill, 8e, Paris
Place des Vosges
Paris's first planned square was commissioned in 1605 by Henri IV and inaugurated by his son Louis XIII in 1612. With harmonious red-brick and stone arcaded façades and steeply pitched slate roofs, it differs from the later pomp of the Bourbons. Laid out symmetrically with carriageways through Pavillon de la Reine on the north side and Pavillon du Roi on the south, the other lots were sold off as concessions to officials and nobles (some façades are imitation brick). It was called place Royale prior to the Napoleonic Wars, when the Vosges was the first region to pay its war taxes.
- 4e, Paris, France
104 (Centquatre)
- Critics choice
104, described as a 'space for artistic creation', occupies a vast 19th-century building on the rue d'Aubervilliers that used to house Paris's municipal undertakers. The site was saved from developers by Roger Madec, the mayor of the 19th, who's made its renovation the centrepiece of a massive project of cultural and urban renewal.There aren't any constraints on the kind of work the resident artists do: 104 is open to 'all the arts', but finished pieces have to shown in one of 104′s annual 'festivals'.
- 104 rue d'Aubervilliers & 5 rue Curial, 19e, Paris, France
La Grande Mosquée de Paris
Some distance removed from the Arabic-speaking inner-city enclaves of Barbès and Belleville, this vast Hispano-Moorish construct is nevertheless the spiritual heart of France's Algerian-dominated Muslim population. Built from 1922 to 1926 with elements inspired by the Alhambra and the Bou Inania Medersa in Fès, the Paris mosque is dominated by a stunning green-and-white tiled square minaret. On la rue Geoffroy-St-Hilaire, La Mosquée café (open 9am-midnight daily) is delightful – a modest courtyard with blue-and-white mosaic-topped tables shaded beneath green foliage.
- 2 place du Puits de l'Ermite, 5e, Paris, France
Observatoire de Paris
The Paris observatory was founded by Louis XIV's finance minister, Colbert, in 1667; it was designed by Claude Perrault (who also worked on the Louvre), with labs and an observation tower. The French meridian line drawn by François Arago in 1806 (which was used here before the Greenwich meridian was adopted as standard) runs north-south through the centre of the building. You'll need to apply for an appointment at the Observatoire by letter, but it's also worth checking the website for openings linked to astronomical happenings – or visit on the Journées du Patrimoine.
