2015 Mustang GT500 Photos
2015 Ford Mustang GT500 Bodywork : 2015 Mustang GT500 Photos
2015 Ford Mustang GT500 has been issued to be released one day at the late of this year. This is another innovative Mustang model to keep in touch with the fans as the other competitors keep polishing their new cars. This Ford vehicle must be very muscular and you will have the luxury in every inch of it. No one can deny the luxury spouted by this car either the exterior or the interior. Moreover when you go to the inside of the cap, you will find that there is a V6 power, the kind of machine that you will never predict to be in road car.
Now and then, Mustang is about the speed and muscular style of car. They never argue with other purposes but being comfortable in high speed car. The interior is designed to have the special standard of high speed car with two large tubular gauges in front of the driver, and circular air vents will reside atop the center stack. Well, the bodywork of 2015 Mustang GT500 keeps improving and it is adapted from Aston Martin car models. This new Mustang loses all its typical old style as it becomes more luxurious.
You will find no circle eyes in the front part as you have expected the front part of Mustang must have circle eyes to be one of its characteristics. The cap has a pattern in form of lines and the rear body seems to shrink slightly following the redesigned curve under the small window on rear body. Since it is sport car, it has only two doors that are ended with small windows before it finally goes with the beautiful end. The car's trademark taillight design with horizontal lines on the top bar balances the small sided eyes on the front. 2015 Mustang GT500 has a totally new design and new bodywork that has been never typically designed on the previous Mustang models.
Here is important chapter on Mustang GT500. We have the excellent step for Mustang GT500. Check it out for yourself! You can acquire 2015 Mustang GT500 Photos guide and view the latest 2015 Ford Mustang GT500 Bodywork in here.

Finance and Banking
Finance and Banking
Some of the major challenges faced by the finance and banking industry today include global economic conditions, new technology trends for financial services, and innovative business processes and services. The finance and banking industry represents a vital economic sector for every country. This industry is generally a reliable thermometer of regional and global economic conditions, due to the fact that it manages a major part of all financial transactions.
Read More...
General activities in the finance and banking sector include managing negotiable and financial instruments: savings accounts, investments, bonds, money market accounts, stocks, and derivatives. These activities are core to the economic sector in every country.
Besides the general challenges faced by the finance and banking industry, there are specific challenges that companies in this sector must confront in order to offer new services to users, and to improve the quality of existing services. Some of these specific challenges include
meeting all national, regional, and global regulatory standards for finance and banking services, as well as adapting to these regulatory frameworks within improved service models;
pursuing customer service improvement, with options like electronic banking and call center services for banking;
increasing the number and variety of currently offered financial and banking services;
improving proficiency and service productivity to increase the organization's return on investment (ROI) for financial services; and
improving security schemes to mitigate financial risks and exposure.
Companies in the finance and banking space need specific software solutions to successfully address the challenges of a fierce competitive industry. Since this industry is based on bringing financial services to customers, customer care is one of the most important considerations when selecting systems designed for this industry. Customer relation management (CRM) systems with special features for financial and insurance institutions can enable them to efficiently address all customer care issues, and also renew and improve all service models.

Author: ICC News/Monday, August 11, 2014/Categories: Press Releases
Community College sophomore Marcus Walker of Hamilton placed first in the Job
Interview with focus in Automotive and Collision Repair Technology category at
the national SkillsUSA competition this summer.
"Marcus devoted hours of preparation
to the job interview contest," said ICC automotive technology instructor Brad
Crowder. He competed against 18 other students from across the United States.
The two rounds of interviewing included selection of the top eight in the first
and the overall winner in the second. "Marcus did an excellent job at
representing ICC as a professional competitor and bringing home the gold,"
Crowder noted.
Walker's preparation included a mock
interview, resume' tips and review of SkillsUSA contest regulations to
understand competition scoring. The national competition was divided into three
phases: completion of employment applications, preliminary interviews with
receptionist and in-depth interviews. Contestants were evaluated on their
understanding of employment procedures faced in applying for positions in the
occupational areas for which they are training.
Walker said that he attended the
national conference when he was a senior at Hamilton High School but he didn't
make it to the final round. "It really upset me," he said, "but it also gave me
the drive and determination to work hard, prepare and succeed to the second
round the next time."
Working against the clock and each
other, the participants proved their expertise in job skills for occupations
such as electronics, technical drafting, precision machining, medical assisting
and culinary arts. There were also competitions in leadership skills, such as
extemporaneous speaking and conducting meetings by parliamentary procedure. The
contests were designed and planned by representatives of labor and management.
The contests tested the skills needed for a successful entry-level performance
in occupations, and the non-occupationally-specific leadership contests
represented a variety of communications, goal setting and teamwork skills, all
geared to enhance a student's qualities of leadership, responsibility and
"Returning to Kansas City on a
college level was very different," Walker said. "I wasn't only competing
against college students, but college students who were much older than I, and
some had big families and owned their own business. It was intimidating, but I
kept a sound mind, remembered my training and focused on the task, advancing to
the final round."
Walker said he stayed in his room
the entire first three days continuing to prepare for the event although he
missed a Major League baseball game.
Throughout the competition, he helped
other students to improve their speeches and resumes before the final round. "I did my best, and that's all that matters,"
he said after the final round. And his best was good enough to "bring home the
At ICC, Walker, who is majoring in
automotive technology, is president of the Tupelo Campus Student Government
Association and a member of Phi Theta Kappa, Indian Delegation and the
Chieftain staff. He is the son of Mark Walker and Connie Whitfield.
In addition, Ben Bryan of Fulton
placed third in Computer Maintenance Technology. Others who competed were Brandon
Robbins of Hamilton, Ala., Internetworking and Andrew Green of Mooreville,
Diesel Equipment Technology.
than 15,000 people including students, teachers and business partners

23-27 in Kansas City, Mo.
SkillsUSA is the national
organization for students in trade, industrial, technical and health
occupations education. It sponsors the SkillsUSA championships annually to
recognize the achievements of career and technical education students and to
encourage them to strive for excellence and pride in their chosen occupations.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Bequia - Cedar Retreat
A place to unwind, an island to enjoy!
Cedar retreat is a retreat in the real sense of the word. Seek sanctuary from the world of traffic, discos, dogs, and roosters. Relax to the sound of birds during the day, tiny tree frogs at night, and the distant sound of the surf below.
The house is set on sloping hillside 200 feet above the ocean with a view of the Grenadine islands of Balliceaux and Mustique.
Cedar Retreat is in the shape of a Geodesic dome and has a central open plan living area.
The unique shape of the building with its web of interconnected beams is just one of the dome's unusual features. A spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine bedroom suspended from the dome ceiling. Further steps lead up to a viewing tower. Fall asleep while counting stars through the large skylight directly over the queen-sized bed. Another great feature is the acoustics in the living room. The sound of the hidden surround – speaker system is highlighted by the geodesic interior shape of the living room. Bach's fugue not only sounds terrific but also makes you feel as if you are inside a cathedral.
The most important feature of the dome design is coolness. It is shaded by huge cedar trees, and the sea breeze is funneled up the valley, in through the wide porch doors and out through the open viewing tower, keeping the interior pleasant at all times. The fresh water plunge pool is surrounded by two seating areas where you can always find shade during the day and enjoy a pinacolada and skinny dip at night.
A large fishpond lies between the dome-house and two wooden cottages. The fishpond not only adds to the ambiance with its trickling waterfall and fountain but also functions as an extremely efficient mosquito trap. Millions of tiny guppy and larger koi-fish keep the immediate surroundings free of mosquitoes, and the few that escape are consumed by dragonflies. The cottages are part of the property and the three buildings are rented out as a whole. (If you are only one couple staying in the main building, you will have complete privacy. The nearest villa, the Old Fort Hotel, lies 300 yards away and out of sight). One of the cottages contains a queen size bed, kitchenette and bathroom. The other has a queen size bed and an office with WiFi fast internet. The two cottages are connected by a large veranda.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- pets considered
- smoking allowed
- wheelchair accessible
About Peter and Britt
Peter, a Norwegian retired sailor, adventurer and writer and Britt, globetrotter, artist and a therapist, began work on Cedar Retreat in 2007.
It was shortly after hurricane Ivan laid waste to the island of Grenada that they decided that their new home was to be a geodesic dome house – a structure that can withstand 150 mile an hour winds. However, there has not been a hurricane in the region since Ivan in 2004 – which hit Bequia as "only" a tropical storm.
After 29 years of pining for the fjords and city life, Peter and Britt now spend the summer months in Norway and the UK, while the victims of rainy summers and noisy cities may chill out at their paradise retreat
During your stay, if you wish or feel the need to contact us, we will be available at all times on Skype, email or by phone.
Our efficient maid Glenna and handyman Robin will pay a visit twice a week (or when you request it) to clean up, service the pool, remove garbage, and do your laundry. They will put you on the right track on where there is action, where to eat and what else you can do on this lovely island.
Why Peter and Britt chose Bequia
Excerpts from the author's book 'The Art of Getting Wrecked'.
Sailing into Port Elizabeth on Bequia 30 years ago, I had a feeling I would be hanging out there for a long, long time.
There was something about the serenity of the place. A sweeping bay with white sandy beaches. The surrounding timbered hillsides scattered with small white houses and radiant scarlet flamboyant trees. There was something so relaxing about the village that it made you either just want to sit down somewhere and feel time pass in a pleasant way or join some friendly locals in one of the many rum shops, listen to the gossip and feel the pulse of the island.
Bequia has a heart of its own. I immediately noticed that things seemed so different from what I was used to. The police didn't carry guns; there were no locks on people's houses, no parking meters, no traffic lights. Strangers would stop and talk to you on the street for no other reason than to be friendly.
Where you come from?
How you like Bequia?
What caught my attention most of all, was the laid back, live and let live attitude of the locals.
Cool mon.
No sweat.
What makes this villa unique
Villas such as Cedar Retreat are a rare find, blending charm and character with comfort. Relax by the pool and let the stress of modern life melt away. Onshore trade winds blow through the house which remains cool on the hottest of Caribbean days. Wide doors allow the open plan living space to blend with a tropical garden and a breathtaking view of the Grenadine islands to the south-east.

Exploits based on the vulnerability, which circumvents sandbox protection technology incorporated into Adobe X and Adobe XI, are on sale in underground forums. Pricing starts at a hefty $30,000 but the exploit has already made its …
Those other PDF readers are WAY more insecure.
Get a grip....
Seriously though...
How long have PDFs been around? And how are they STILL coming up with fucking holes in the readers??
Definitely time, no way PAST time, to bin this clearly unfit document format!
Re: Seriously though...
The original document format was probably ok: supported TrueType & PostScript embedded fonts, vector graphics, bitmaps, not much else. But over time Adobe has taken it towards being some all-purpose document handling and presentation system, so now it has some custom sub-pixel rendering (eBook support - source of at least one zero-day buffer overrun), Javascript, and worst of all Flash, itself a ripe field for exploits.
Third party readers that limit their ambitions to showing text & graphics have a rather smaller attack surface.
PostScript Rendering should be a solved problem.
But no. Adobe have to continually update their product with interactive "features" :(
Re: PostScript Rendering should be a solved problem.
How else can they keep people on the upgrade treadmill?
Post recyling time.
Re: Post recyling time.
In that case. You can have a recycled upvote.
Acrobat Reader Lite
Hello Adobe, could we have a "lite" version of the reader that doesn't have all the bloat that seems to be the security issue? If it hadn't grown like Topsy over the years possibly these problems would be fewer and far between.
Re: Acrobat Reader Lite
Excellent idea! Adobe can have Reader Light and Adobe Acrobat Reader BLOATED. Which would you prefer?

In The District:
Why Women Rule the Internet
March 21st, 2011 | 9:33 AM
Aileen Lee, Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Plum District Board Member, wrote an outstanding guest post this past weekend on TechCrunch entitled "Why Women Rule the Internet." Aileen focuses on investing in early stage consumer Internet companies (like Plum District), and in this post she shares a wealth of insight and knowledge about rising trends on the Internet. Most importantly, she discusses why "girl power" is fueling the unprecedented growth of today's social Web.
Read her excellent post and get to know another member of Plum District.
Thanks for your questions and comments
March 11th, 2011 | 5:21 PM
Hi, folks.
We've been quiet on the blog today, but we've been resolving the kinks from yesterday's Plum Reward and keeping our ears open to your comments and thoughts. If you have questions about yesterday's deal, please bring them to our attention at email@example.com, and we'll be happy to address them with you directly. Thanks again for communicating with us, and for your patience as we work to address your concerns!
Please accept our apologies
March 10th, 2011 | 9:50 PM
Dear Plum District community members,
Today we ran a Plum Reward deal that gave our members the opportunity to earn a $20 Target GiftCard for referring four new users to our site. While, to this point, thousands of people have successfully earned a gift card through this reward, we're also keenly aware that many people were frustrated, angered, and disappointed with their experience with our deal today. For that we are genuinely sorry.
We want to thank you for being part of our community, for recommending us to your friends and family, and for trusting us to offer you discounts on products and services that we think will make your lives easier and more enjoyable. We take your trust seriously and pledge to work every day to keep it.
As for our deal today, we've seen accusations that it was some kind of scam. It wasn't, and thousands of people will soon be receiving their gift cards in the mail. We don't yet know exactly how many people will get them, and that's part of the problem. People are still using active referral links and we are still tallying deal statistics. More frustratingly, the number of visitors to our site today overwhelmed our capabilities; we underestimated the popularity of this deal. The traffic prevented our system from accurately updating people on the number of referrals they had reached. As many of you found out, our email system slowed to a crawl and set off spam alarms at several email providers, Yahoo in particular. We're working with our email provider, SendGrid, to resolve some issues that are still outstanding, but can't say that we've eliminated them all as of now. We'll keep working.
We also can't yet say with certainty who will and won't earn a Plum Reward from today's deal. We know many people, particularly on the East Coast, are waiting late into the night for information. Unfortunately, we don't have it for you at this time. What we can say is that we hope that each person who referred friends in good faith today will earn a Plum Reward.
Again, if you felt short-changed by your experience with Plum District, we sincerely apologize. Though we may have fallen short for some of you tonight, our experience helped us put in place more robust systems that will make future deals easier and smoother for you. Thank you for your business and for all of your referrals. We will update you tomorrow with more information.
A Workaround for Undeliverable Emails
March 10th, 2011 | 4:31 PM
It still looks like some of you are experiencing problems with referral emails not being delivered to your friends. While we are continuing to work with Internet Service Providers to get these emails delivered, we have a workaround for you in the meantime.
We have discontinued sending referral emails from our mail server (which in some cases is being blocked). Instead, we have enabled a way for you to put your unique referral links directly into your own emails, which should not be blocked.
Here's what to do:
1. Return to the Target deal page:
2. Click "Get It" and re-confirm your mailing address in Step 1.
3. This time on Step 2, your unique referral link appears in the box labeled "For Copying and Pasting." Copy your unique referral URL (and the explanatory text, if you want).
4. Create an email in your personal email service/program and paste the URL (and the other text if you copied that too). Now you can invite your friends directly through your unique link without having to rely on our mail servers to get stuff delivered.
We're Experiencing Intermittment Issues…Pls Stand By
March 10th, 2011 | 9:54 AM
Due to the overwhelming response to our Target Plum Reward, we are experience some intermittent site issues as we bring new servers online to handle the volume. Please bear with us, and we apologize for any inconvenience that this may be causing you. We'll be sailing smoothly again in a few minutes.
Why I Love Shopping at Plum District
March 8th, 2011 | 11:10 AM
It's true — I'm a heavy Plum District shopper. I buy at least one deal every week. I can't help myself. In fact, it's one of the best parts of my job. What's not to love about getting a great deal, learning about a new vendor or service in your local area and learning more about the Plum District business. This is truly combining work and personal!
Recently, I purchased three training sessions from Gardie Jackson Fitness. Unfortunately, the large quantities of yummy marshmellow, cornflake holiday cookies have permanently settled on my thighs and it was time to bring in a professional. Gardie was amazing–showed up at my door early on a Friday morning. He was full of what seemed like boundless energy. I, on the other hand, was happy that I was able to get out of bed, didn't call and cancel the night before as I was tempted to do, and remembered to brush my teeth.
Over the next hour, he encouraged and pushed me through a number of exercises in the middle of my living room. At the end of the session, I felt better about my thighs and thrilled that I was up and ready to take on the day! In between my squats and rows, I learned that Gardie has had a great experience with the clients that he met through his Plum District offering and he wants to run another deal with us. I like to do mystery shopping when I buy the deals and not tell vendors that I work for the company. I am always pleased that they have such great feedback and they get a kick out of later learning that I'm the CEO.
I had a similar experience with Natasha Thomas of Urban Darling. We recently moved to a lovely, but very small house with even smaller closets. In the last year, I've gone from wearing suits every day to trying my best to look fashionable and casual. Natasha provides wardrobe consultations and was a woman on a mission in my minuscule closet. She had me try on everything, gently forced me to part with some items that had never seen the light of day and came up with 30+ new outfits. After a few hours with Natasha, I had a short list of some basics that I needed to buy and wonderful new combinations from closet. Now that is saving money! I wore one of my new combos today and felt great!
Thanks Natasha and Gardie — very much looking forward to our next session and thanks for the great feedback!

We couldn't help but notice…

That mom-to-be Natalie Portman wore plum to the Oscars last night. Could it have been a coincidence that she chose to swathe herself in the new official color of savvy moms everywhere (and looked damn good doing it) on the night she took home the statue for Best Actress? Sure, anything's possible. But we'd like to think that she did so because she knows where it's all happening.
Congrats from all of us, Natalie, on your win, and best wishes for a happy, healthy motherhood! If you want an in on the stuff that'll make your life as a mom a little easier and more enjoyable, come on by the website. We'll hook you up.
The right way to get your Plum Reward for CPK
February 25th, 2011 | 12:20 PM
Hi everyone! We're really psyched that so many people across the country are excited by today's Plum Reward for a CPK Gift Card, but we've noticed that a few people are trying to grab more than their share. This opportunity is limited to one per person and one per household. We want everyone to earn a gift card, but please respect our community and follow the rules of the deal. Even if you figure out how to game our site to snag more than one card for this Plum Reward, we have multiple mechanisms in place to eliminate duplicate recipients before we fulfill our deals, and you will only receive one in the mail.
We've had some questions from users regarding referrals for this Plum Reward. Plum Reward referrals are separate from other Plum District referral bonuses (like Plum Dollars). To refer friends for this Reward, you must use the email form or links that you're presented after you click "Get It" on the deal page. Don't use the "Refer a Friend and Get $10″ link in the top page navigation to refer friends to get your gift card –those count as separate referrals.
Thanks to everybody who's been spreading the word about this great Plum Reward. If you're new to our site, welcome. If you've already earned your gift card, way to go! If not … good luck. We're rooting for you!
Los autobuses, Cervezas, y Burritos. Translation: Buses, Beers, and Burritos
February 16th, 2011 | 5:34 PM
What started off as your typical night on the Mexican Bus (www.mexicanbus.net) evolved into the most exciting Thirsty Thursday to date. The office was elated all day with visions of shots of tequila and bottomless cervezas. Getting to the Mexican bus with our supplies of beer, booze, snacks, ice (the essentials really) was an exercise in team building in itself. As the clock neared 6PM, we all scrambled to load up our goodies and carry them a block away to where our Mexican chariot awaited us. Smiling and excited for our adventure around SF, we all pitched in (except Mike) to carry bags, a cooler, and a highjacked recycling bin that we MacGyvered into an ice chest. It was a thing of beauty.
As we approached our colorful bus "Lola" we were greeted by our driver Richard. The bus was perfectly bare-bones for our journey – benches, an Ipod jack, and a communal shot glass that dangled from the ceiling. It was everything we dreamed it would be. Instantly we began celebrating with Coronas, margaritas, and of course Patron. We arrived at the Ramp, the perfect place to chill outside on an unseasonably warm SF evening. We sipped our drinks, took in the bay, and had a great time. But by 8P we were ready for food, so it was off to La Taqueria. By the time we got there we were getting low on our beer supplies, so once again we worked as a team. Divide and conquer – "ok you guys go get beer and we'll go get the food, meet back at the bus hasta la pronto!"
Everyone returned to the bus to enjoy their burritos and Tecate. And just as the party was getting started again … our bus Lola broke down! And what do you think we did? We did what any group of thinkers would do … we finished our food, grabbed the beer, and hit the road. It was like a fire drill- what would you grab? Cookies, snacks, and coolers were left behind, but not the Tecate! While some people might have been discouraged by this misfortune, we interpreted it as part of the experience. Perhaps divine intervention even. Everyone got out their bus passes, we jumped on Muni and headed to Double Dutch. From there we all gradually dispersed and called it a night. This was one night this Plum gal will never forget!

Guestbook comments from the owner
We will always cherish the vacation memories we had at your rental house. Your remodeling was done so thoughtfully and beautifully...we felt as though it was done "just for us", for we felt so special staying there. We loved everything about it....from Cape Coral to Lorraine Court, to pulling in the driveway to touring the inside upon arrival--it was all delightful. We went out to the beautiful pool area and then down onto the boat platform--just as two fish were flying and flying and flying again! Such a "welcome to your home away from home greeting!" Did you arrange that too? We loved the location of your home on Cape Coral...walks to the beautiful beach, tennis at the Yacht Club and proximity to the Red Sox games....perfect.

November 26, 2014
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Popes John Paul II and John XXIII will be declared saints on April 27, 2014.
Pope Francis announced the date Monday during a meeting with cardinals inside the Apostolic Palace.
Francis had announced in July he would canonize two of the 20th century's most influential popes together, approving a miracle attributed to John Paul's intercession and bending Vatican rules by deciding that John XXIII didn't need one.
Analysts have said the decision to canonize them together was aimed at unifying the church since each has his own admirers and critics. Francis is clearly a fan of both: On the anniversary of John Paul's death this year, Francis prayed at the tombs of both men — an indication that he sees a great personal and spiritual continuity in them.

Crusader Strike will generate HP. There are some other ways, but I forget offhand what they were.
So I've seen tons of stuff on the interwebs about how to spend Holy Power for each spec, but beyond the one Holy talent, I haven't seen much on how you generate Holy Power.
I assume it either generates by itself, or after you do X amount of holy damage, or when you use XYZ ability, but does anyone have more concrete info?
- Helgi
Crusader Strike will generate HP. There are some other ways, but I forget offhand what they were.
ugh... is Holy Power gonna be abbreviated to HP, now the acronyms are overlapping with old acronyms...... HoPow should be the abr imo.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
How bout we compromise: HoP!
|TGM UI |Fury Warrior Guide | How To Use Landsoul's Spreadsheet| The Numbers Game |
"I am an elitist; I will never accept mediocrity and I openly show no respect for stupidity"
I still call it BoP oddly enough. Old habits die hard.
Imo, so far, Holy gets the shaft on generating Holy Power. We have to use a terribly mana inefficient heal to do so, in an expansion that's supposed to make mana matter more. I do hope it changes.
This is the Blizzard post on it:
Q: What is the goal when re-designing the paladin class? How do you plan to change rotations, talents, etc?
A. All of the paladin specializations will make use of a new resource called Holy Power. Holy Power accumulates from using Crusader Strike, Holy Shock, and some other talents. Holy Power can be consumed to augment a variety of abilities, including:
We also introduced several new heals for Holy Paladins including Healing Hands (an AoE heal-over-time that is applied to all players standing near the paladin), Light of Dawn (a cone heal with a 30-yard range), as well as a new heal called Divine Light, which is similar to a priest's Greater Heal, and the new instant heal mentioned above, Word of Glory.
- An instant mana-free heal: Word of Glory
- A buff to increase holy damage done: Inquisition
- A massive physical melee attack for Retribution paladins: Templar's Verdict
- Holy Shield's duration is now extended by Holy Power
- Divine Storm's damage is now increased by Holy Power
Why can't holy paladins generate holy power via crusader strike?
They probably can, but it's not what a Holy Paladin will generally be doing. Nor should Holy Paladins be in melee range as often as it seems Blizzard wants to put them there. At this point, in Cataclysm, I may as well just be running into melee range on every fight on my Holy Pally.
But, as I said, Crusader Strike isn't a normal button for Holy Paladins. It is a normal button for Ret Pallies (presumably). Holy Shock is also, and likely never will be a normal button for Holy Paladins, because it's mana inefficient. It would really be awful of Blizz to force Holy Shock into the regular heals of a Holy Pally, and then nerf their ability to regen on top of it.
I'm not worried though, this is what the beta is for. They'll see plenty of Holy Paladins struggling to generate Holy Power and it'll get fixed.
It's possible, but usually the healers stay back. it's already pretty crowded up front with tanks and melee. Therefore they need a ranged ability (unless they get Holy Power from judgements).
I've always been curious about a melee range healer. I can see paladins and resto shamans doing it nicely. The Maelstrom mechanics (build 5 stacks for instacast nuke) have been nice, but they were always too small heals. If you moved the talent to healers, where their hits powered up heals, but make the hits tiny, you might see it.
However, the changes in Cata requiring healers to do more damage, worry more about their mana, and then the two AoE heals Paladins get, all favor them running into melee. I don't like it, because they're not likely to change boss mechanics for melee. It puts Holy Paladins between a rock and a hard place.
There is also a talent in the holy tree that gives a paladin a % chance to generate holy power when directly healing their becon target, seems to be any heal. so you can either holy shock or throw a heal on your beacon target and seeing as when the beacon is healer for only 50% when coming from another target heal we can assume that will be enough.
I dont think its that bad for our generation of holy power seeing as we are to get a insta no mana heal out of our generated HoPo (the new acronym? or maybe HPo)
I'm not sure I like going to a 2 resource management system. Holy Power would be OK if it was like energy/rage/focus/etc., but to still have to thing about mana too to boot?
Edit: Direct heals on your Beacon target is less than ideal too, it's a waste of a free heal. But Blizzard does want to change that aspect of Beacon, so it's quite possible that that will change, in which case it sounds like a fine method of generating HPW.

Would be nice to hook up with a Holy Pally in the beta. Just sayin'

The New Testament on Death Knight Tanking
I don't think that staying in melee range is going to be the thing for holy paladins, but for those assigned to do raid healing -or at least some raid healing - I think that it combined with the healing cone effect + the AoE heal + generating holy power definitely lends itself to them standing in melee.
I think that it would be an interesting design to have holy paladins who are primarily healing the tank stay at range (because they don't need a lot of holy power) and holy paladins who are healing big groups stand with those groups - and if they're melee, get some CS action going on to generate extra holy power points.

This ottoman is absolutely gorgeous--the workmanship is exceptional (where else can you find leather piping around the individual pieces that make up the hassock?), and the colors are deep and rich. A huge thank you to the persons involved in the crafting of this handsome piece. Anyone thinking about buying this, should--in my opinion. Oh�as for the MILD fragrance of leather, I like it�makes me think of Morocco.
This comes with a lovely plate, but wobbles all over, and we need to protect our floors, so we found a woven charger and use that -- Problem solved!
My ottoman are beautiful stuffed and ready to go! Very comfortable and I would recommend it to anyone. This is my second one and I'm going for a third. You can buy them elsewhere for cheaper but they are not stuffed And you will not get the craftsmanship like these from overstock. Thank you overstock!
It looks great between our 2 red leather swivel chairs. The shape is not exactly as I thought it would be : larger at top and tapering down to the bottom. It is more rounded throughout. Also, I would have preferred the bottom material color to match the green or gold in the leather. Otherwise I am PLEASED with this ottoman!
Moroccan pouf is even more beautiful than expected. The colors are perfect for my living room decor. The sturdy leather makes it comfortable to sit on. Not only is it a stunning ornament, it can serve as extra seating. I am proud to display it in my home.

Canonical: Mir Isn't Quite Ready
Ubuntu's replacement for the X graphics system will have to wait for a later release.
Canonical's Head of Engineering Product Strategy has announced that the upcoming Ubuntu 13.10 release won't ship with the Mir graphics system enabled. Oliver Ries writes in his blog "Mir has made tremendous progress and is currently available on the Ubuntu archive for use, but there are still some outstanding quality issues that we want to resolve before we feel comfortable turning it on by default."
Mir is Canonical's entry as a next-generation replacement for the widespread yet ancient X Window graphics system. The effort to design Ubuntu for a broad range of hardware platforms (from smartphone to desktop) led to the need for a newer, more agile graphics environment. According to Ries, Mir is working well as a native system with Unity 8 on mobile devices. The technical issues are related to the XMir component, which provides an interface with X Server. For desktop systems, the eventual goal is for Ubuntu to boot using Mir if the graphics hardware supports it, and otherwise boot to X. The full implementation of this goal in the default configuration will have to wait for a later release, although Mir and XMir will still be available through the Ubuntu archives if you are interested in experimenting.
