Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino
Top Romantic Hotel
The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and attend to your every need.
The staff was friendly and remembered us during our stay. The room was comfortable and well equipped. There were many activities on premise which kept us busy, and the private island was beautiful. We enjoyed a couples massage and dinner for two package which was excellent. The location was right at a shopping mall and plaza with plenty to do, but it was further away from the main hotel area where the nightlife and many of our friends were staying. Taxi trips to meet our friends or go out started to add up over our stay.
There was nothing I did not like! Love love love the private island!!!!! Very contemporary hotel . Love it!!! Nothing
Great location in the heart of Oranjastad. Easy walk to great restaurants. Very clean. The staff were wonderful, especially Berlinda who helped us with restaurant reservations. There is no real beach unless you ferry out to the private island. The island is pretty, but windy. There were no beach chairs available and even more limited if you wanted one in the shade. At the Marina, there is a modest sized pool but no beach chairs available in the mid afternoon. There is music playing all day, so there is no place in the resort for peace and quiet except your room. The room was modest sized, but a bit dated. It was quite expensive.
"Island View" does not mean a view of the private island. The front desk told me this means an island view as in Aruba is and island and you can view it.
Wait staff was slow and not attentive at the bar at the hotel.
The location is excellent, and access to activities through the city was very simple. Staff is very courteous, rooms were well maintained and clean. The pool area had DJ playing so loud that it was hindersome in the room in the afternoon and early evening. Pool is rather small and not enough places to relax during early evening hours. The rooms were pricey for the amenities provided. Staying at the Marriott on the west side of the island offers more amenities, larger room and less cost. But after all, it IS all about location, location, location, and the Rennaissance has it!
Staff was very friendly. We received a free upgrade overall experience was great!! Highly recommended!! N/A
Loved the location, type of people vacationing, the boat that leaves from the hotel lobby is one of a kind, the private island is so relaxing and beautiful, the staff is all friendly and eager to help, so glad we picked this resort! We had an issue with our room one night and the front desk assisted us with switching rooms.
size of rooms - large with kitchen and living room needs updating - more restaurants
Location Needs a renovation
Nice beach across the street. I like having a kitchen to cook. Checking in was slow. We arrived at noon, we were told our room wasn't ready yet and to come back later. We returned at 350pm and our room still wasn't ready. We did not see many cars or other people around. The guy said "we don't let any one in before 4pm". Even though this was 10 minutes away, he said come back later. He was rather rude. The rooms needed updated. The grout was filthy, tiles chipped and cracked. The music by the pool was loud and poor choice for people of all ages. The older people hated it.
Pool was clean and fun for the whole family, especially the waterslide. Outstanding gym, beautiful equipment. Staff was friendly. Room is adequate, clean but plain. Overall hotel is great for the price but a bit rundown in places, not luxurious in any way. Very poorly equipped kitchen. No pan for oven, lousy utensils for cooking in general. We asked for an oven pan but was informed that they don't provide one, so the oven is useless.
the service , friendl
Staff is friendly. Can walk to grocery store Has not been updated in years. You have to walk across busy street to the besch
I liked the new renevoted room it had everything and very specious. I like that they opened a pizza place the karaoke and happy hour. I would definitely go back there with my family. I didn't like the way I was treated by the front desk agent when I checked out. I asked to stay by the pool with the kids till 6pm and since the others left they forgot to leave their wristband so the front desk agent was rude to me telling me that I had yo bring them.
The room I booked was great, modern, clean and large. The resort is a little distant from ocean (need to walk about 200 yards) and the pools do not open until 10am with limited lounge chairs, but overall a very nice spotless resort.
Nothing! No Wifi! To Loud! Cheap! Wants a $300 cash deposit!
Some of the staff were delightful and friendly, but the manager didn't offer any apologizes for the stained sheets. I asked for a late check in....why is that 70 bucks when my room was 120? I'm confused....so my late check out fee was waived...I check out two hours later...and no other corrections were made to make me feel better about this horrible experience. I have so much to say...not sure where to start. Oh wait - Don't Do It. This place is horrible and I'm pretty sure the worst place I have ever stayed and I've traveled to 40+ countries. The resort boasts about a renovation but this place is barely holding on. It's dated and the sheets were stained..I was transferred to another room...those sheets were stained. On top of it all, the place advertises free wifi but that's not in your room. Trust me, don't do it.
I can't think of anything I did not like.
We knew the grounds and surrounding areas. Pool was nice, but dirty every day from the wind blown trees. Our room was on the ground level, lots of bugs. We asked to switch rooms. Told there were none so they gave us bug spray. Our front door stopped working, twice. Front desk didn't offer anything for our troubles. On the last day we were going to sitwch to a different room and was told to be there at 12:45pm, room wasn't ready, very frustrating.
Environment taxes that I did not find out about until the day of my checkout. I don't have a problem with paying taxes, I just don't like one's that I don't know about.
Large facility and parking lot. Though not cheap it was the best available price I could find during the high ''easter time" season. Big reception counter but only one clerk and a relatively long waiting line at the time of my check-out. Bed was made but room had not been cleaned.
1-bedroom unit and amenities were more than adequate and clean. Infinity pool needs some maintenance. Tiles along side are falling off. Contaminated water at the end of our stay make a lot of people sick and staff was not forthright in dealing with it. As of this writing, they're still handing out bottled water. Not sure they handled this emergency well at all! Too bad.....
The location is fantastic and also the small kitchen at the room helps a lot specially when you have kids. The value for money. I paid too much for the room I've got. The rooms close to the recepcion ( the "C"blocks) are bad compared to the rest. Also the amount of taxes paid in the end are very high. So be careful with that cause sometimes the daily rates are unreal.
We had an amazing time at Amsterdam Manor the rooms were clean and the staff was very accommodating. The beach was the highlight. It never gets too crowded and it so beautiful. Food was overpriced it wasn't that delicious
Friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, excellent beach, nice beach bar, excellent restaurant on the beach, efficiency rooms so we could have breakfast/lunch/snacks/drinks in the room, grocery store only a short walk away Nothing at all!
The good point was the location of the hotel,very close to the sandy beach. I did not like the service at all (very poor service at the beach bar, very slow service at the beach restaurant) they charged my credit card with the whole amount for the room on the day of the reservation, I.E. well in advance of check-in date (this is not a common practice for hotels) and tryed to make me pay additional charges when we arrived. I strongly complained and they admitted that they were wrong. No extra applied finally.
Very personal and excellent service Not at all
Beach was steps from the front of the hotel and there was always an umbrella, beach chairs, and towels ready for us. The happy hours were great. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved that the rooms had kitchens so you could grab groceries for the Super Food down the street. Such a nice addition. There is also a mini market at the hotel in case you need something quickly. More families than I had expected. The pool was used by children exclusively. The location has ups and downs - there is nothing to the north until the high rises so you are a bit isolated. It is nice because it isn't super crowded and it is intimate, but it also means you have to travel a bit to get to other restaurants and activities.
Small resort, very accessible to the beach. Friendly staff, good food and drinks on the premises. This is our second visit. We renewed our wedding vows on the beach and this was the perfect spot.
A beautiful beach, a luxurious room, a true getaway. Staff was attentive, helpful, yet unobstrusive. Just lovely spot. We liked that the hotel makes a real effort to be eco-friendly. Also, there is a mini-market on premises that is reasonable. Your service was especially helpful as I realized, at almost the last minute, that I had booked the wrong days. Just the noise from the dehumidifiers, so I turned them off at night.
This hotel is outstanding - I contacted the hotel direct and upgraded to the penthouse suite, which was fantastic - would definitely recommend it for a special occasion.
Manchebo sits on a large beach with plenty of chairs/huts per the amount of people staying at the resort. I was able to walk up at noon, and pick out a spot on the frontline. It was a decent walk to the water, but nothing terrible. Never used the pool, but it looked great. Best happy hour on the island! 2 for 1 drinks from 4 to 6. Very quite resort. They literally ran out of shampoo at the resort. Also, while we had a garden view room, the workers hung out in that area occasionally, leaving us little to no privacy. Thankfully, we didn't mind that too much, as we hardly were in our room for most of the day.
great place peaceful
The beach at Manchebo was the most beautiful beach I have been to. The sand was so soft, and the water was clean and clear. My fiance and I got a massage at the spa- a wonderful experience that I would reccomend everyone do. Overall- a GREAT place to go for a relaxing vacation.
In bad need of refurbishment.Tired facilities and complacent staff.
Beautiful beach and very laid back resort. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere, not wall-to-wall people like the larger resorts. French Steakhouse restaurant on the premises is excellent. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Room was adequate, although a little tired. Spa was wonderful. Giorgios Italian restaurant was not good. Service was very slow and they obviously need someone who knows how to cook good Italian food if they are going to call themselves an Italian restaurant.
The restaurants are okay. Can´t be a 4-star!! I´d classify it as a 2-star, maximum. And for that price, you can really go for something way better. Didn´t like it all. The entire hotel is old, the rooms are old-looking, dirty walls and the beds are not very comfortable. Urgently needs remodeling.
Get a first floor room. Open your sliding door and your toes are in the sand. Drinks and food are decent. You will not go Hungry or thirsty. Lots of different options for snacks and food throughout the day. We loved taking long strolls on the beach. It's awesome that you have access to the Divi. Typical routine includes getting a drink at the bunker bar, walk down and sit by the pool to people watch, get a new drink (and maybe some chicken strips), continue the walk down the beach. Nice 10 minute walk to the divi... By that time you are ready for a new drink, grab one at the first bar. Continue the walk to the divi pool and beach area, people watch, lay in the sun, listen to a live band, grab another drink and take a stroll back to the Tam. Lots of activities. Book them early so you won't be directly in the sun. We did a snorkeling/snuba trip (booked at hotel). I would highly highly recommend. We did the ATV tours and it is by far the best way to see the island. We went to the natural pools, natural bridge, an old gold refinery, and a really neat rock formation. We went downtown. And it really only took us a few hours to get a good experience. We took a cab, which was fine... But we regret not using one of the hotels bikes to ride down. We aren't horribly athletic so we didn't want to commit to a bike ride downtown in a different country. However, we drove along a really nice, flat, bike path leading directly downtown... Wished right away we did the bikes. The Spa was awesome! We did massages and a body wrap.. So relaxed. Do not bring pants... You will not wear them. Bring some nicer shorts for dinner and you will be fine. Girls, sundresses and bathing suits... No need to get too fancy. always bring extra sunscreen, expensive to buy on the island. We had to leave. Palm grill was our least favorite restaurant... But fun and worth doing once.
Snorkeling was great! Loved the ocean views Drinks were reeeeeeeeeeeally weak Wife got food poisoning
My wife, 9 months old and I had a great time at this hotel. Our little one loved the kiddie pool and even though there were plenty of kids in the hotel, it was never crowded and always clean. The beach is just across the street and it is absolutely gorgeous. We were always able to get lounge chairs and found a shady area to relax, I gave this hotel 4 stars because the food at the one restaurant available for lunch was not that great. The staff was nice but not efficient. The casino was pretty small and it did not have a lot of choices.
The beach was fantastic, the pools & facilities were very comfortable. The shuttle was not very availble to get around (versus as adverstised)
I liked the price, but reaching to the leisure facilities is not easy. Reception lobby is quite far away from the hotel, actually there are from another DIVI resort
Hotel was great for the price. Proximity to the beach was a plus. Arrived and received an "upgrade" to golf resort, although that wasn't explained. Staff was not friendly, especially compared to what you find elsewhere on the island. Have been visiting for 15 years and this was the first time it felt small requests (where can we find towels) were a bother.

hey guys
at first I want to apologize for my poor english skills .
I'm trying to describe my situation and problem.
I downloaded backtrack 4 final and did it to a usb stick with unetbootin. While booting I
get an error: EXT3-fs Sda6 couldn't mount because unsupported optional features (240)
after waiting several seconds the shell appears. But a login attempt with root as username and toor as password failed. But this is not my main problem because I could start it with the command "startx"
After that I opened the shell and tried several commands:
Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series
Wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"" Mode: Monitor ...(I think irrelevant)
airmon-ng start wlan0:
wlan0 Intel 4965/5xxx iwlagn - [phys0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
airodum-ng mon0:
ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: No such file or directory
these bold messages are my problems.
I googled the las error message and got to the page of aircrack:faq [Aircrack-ng]
I think I didn't do anything wrong. Hope you can help me.Why do I get ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device ?
Double check that your device name is correct and that you haven't forgotten a parameter on the command line.
When using linux-wlan-ng driver, be sure to enable the interface first with airmon-ng.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2012
It might have been 100 degrees in the front row of Marc by Marc Jacob's presentation last night, but Marc darling du jour Elle Fanning, star of the new M by MJ ad campaign, didn't so much as break a sweat. Sitting pretty in a flame-colored T-shirt dress, she was easily the coolest looking girl in the room in every sense of the word. Perhaps she knew that things were about to get even hotter in the Armory—neon hot, in fact. After the lights went up on a flouro-orange sheath dress, a blazing stream of fire-engine reds, phosphorescent greens, and dizzying pinks poured out onto the runway. Jacobs equipped his brightly clad army with protective Lucite visors for good measure, although there was nothing remotely blinding about the collection; after the endless collage of print upon tropical print that we've seen on parade for spring 2012 so far, trust Jacobs to cleanse the palette and put streamlined, dynamic sportswear back into sharp focus. Those solid, saturated hues felt spot-on against the utilitarian rigor of a pair of patch-pocket khaki pants or a sporty hooded brown anorak. Fast becoming a leitmotif of the season, the peplum trimmings lent a playful buoyancy to all the techno fabrics; ditto for the fun eighties sneakers with a built-in madcap wedge.
Colorful throwback kicks aside, the collection was clear of any historical references. Jacobs has a knack for creating clothes that connect on a generational level, pinpointing just the right moment in our sartorial past to revisit and refresh at any given time. With spring 2012, however, he is speaking directly to the cool kids of generation M by MJ right now. In a year when some of the chicest, most unexpected turns on the red carpet have come from the Fannings and their peers, those teenage impulses gain new sophistication. Jacobs is set to show his main collection this Thursday after a stormy twist of fate pushed back his production schedule and put little Marc ahead of big Marc on the fashion calendar. So until then, the young ones are keeping their cool in the top spot.

Combine some offensive wizardry from Tim Duncan, heatwave conditions which paralysed LeBron James and late heroics from Danny Green and you have San Antonio's recipe for success on Thursday at the NBA finals.
But probably the biggest single factor was the Heat losing James late in the fourth quarter of game one as San Antonio downed Miami 110-95.
Last year's playoff MVP was overcome with dehydration and cramping due a broken air conditioning system which caused sweltering conditions inside the AT&T Arena in Texas.
"It was unusual circumstances," said James.
"I never played in a building like that or it has been awhile, like a high school game."
When James left the game with 3:59 remaining, Miami was only down by two points, 94-92.
San Antonio took advantage of James' absence, outscoring the Heat 16-3 over the final four minutes.
James struggled in the fourth with dehydration as temperatures inside the arena soared to 30 Celsius plus because.
The cramping got so bad for James that he had to be carried by two teammates back to the Heat bench because his legs seized up on him.
"The best option for me was not to move," said James.
"I tried and with any little step or nudge it got worse."
James, who has struggled with cramping in the past, said he tried to hydrate himself before and during the game.
"I lost all the fluids I was putting in in the last couple of day out there on the floor," James said.
"It was the whole left leg, damn near the whole left side."
Spurs guard Green made several clutch baskets in the final minutes, including one stretch where he scored 11 of the Spurs' 13 points.
He capped the burst with a 24-foot three pointer to give San Antonio a 97-92 lead with 3:50 remaining.
Green had scored just two points in the first three quarters with James guarding him but as soon as the cramping started to paralyse James, that's when Green took off.
The Heat led by seven points early in the fourth.
"Lucky for me I didn't cramp up," Green said.
"We have a great training staff and strength and conditioning staff. They did a great job of keeping us fresh and with fluids and cold towels."
Duncan finished with a team-high 21 points and 10 rebounds.
It is almost as if the Spurs knew something was up before the game with everyone that walked in the doors of the arena given a free 'Go Spurs Go' fan before the air conditioning failed.
Wet spots on the court made traction difficult for the players who also had to use ice packs on the back of their necks to try and stay cool on the bench.
The Spurs blamed the busted air conditioner on a problem with the electrical supply to the cooling system in the building.
Rod Thorn, NBA president of basketball operations, said they never considered stopping the game because of the sauna-like conditions.
"Once the games starts it is in the hands of the referees," he said.
Thorn said they expect to have the air conditioning back to normal by Sunday's game two.

Intellectual disability is a condition diagnosed before age 18 that includes below-average general intellectual function, and a lack of the skills necessary for daily living.
Mental retardation
Intellectual disability affects about 1 - 3% of the population. There are many causes of intellectual disability, but doctors find a specific reason in only 25% of cases.
A family may suspect intellectual disabilityif the child's motor skills, language skills, and self-help skills do not seem to be developing, or are developing at a far slower rate than the child's peers. Failure to adapt (adjust to new situations) normally and grow intellectually may become apparent early in a child's life. In the case of mild intellectual disability, these failures may not become recognizable until school age or later.
The degree of impairment from intellectual disability varies widely, from profoundly impaired to mild or borderline disability. Less emphasis is now placed on the degree of disability and more on the amount of intervention and care needed for daily life.
Risk factors are related to the causes. Causes of intellectual disability can be roughly broken down into several categories:
Note: Changes to normal behaviors depend on the severity of the condition. Mild disability may be associated with a lack of curiosity and quiet behavior. Severe intellectual disability is associated with infant-like behavior throughout life.
An assessment of age-appropriate adaptive behaviors can be made using developmental screening tests. The failure to achieve developmental milestones suggests intellectual disability.
The following may be signs of intellectual disability:
The primary goal of treatment is to develop the person's potential to the fullest. Special education and training may begin as early as infancy. This includes social skills to help the person function as normally as possible.
It is important for a specialist to evaluate the person for other affective disorders and treat those disorders. Behavioral approaches are important for people with intellectual disability.
The outcome depends on:
Many people lead productive lives and function on their own; others need a structured environment to be most successful.
Complications vary. They may include:
Call your health care provider if:
Genetic: Prenatal screening for genetic defects and genetic counseling for families at risk for known inherited disorders can decrease the risk of inherited intellectual disability.
Social: Government nutrition programs are available to poor children in the first and most critical years of life. These programs can reduce disability associated with malnutrition. Early intervention in situations involving abuse and poverty will also help.
Toxic: Environmental programs to reduce exposure to lead, mercury, and other toxins will reduce toxin-associated disability. However, the benefits may take years to become apparent. Increased public awareness of the risks of alcohol and drugs during pregnancy can help reduce the incidence of disability.
Infectious: The prevention of congenital rubella syndrome is probably one of the best examples of a successful program to prevent one form of intellectual disability. Constant vigilance, such as limiting exposure to cat litter that can cause toxoplasmosis during pregnancy, helps reduce disability that results from this infection.

Edward Steichen
Edward Steichen
American, 1879-1973
Self-Portrait, 1917
Coated platinum print
27.9 x 20.3 cm (11 x 8 inches)
Anonymous gift 83.168.1
Steichen was influential not just as a photographer but also as one who brought European modernism to this country beginning around 1908. He became the first photography curator (1947 - 1962) at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Steichen's early works, such as this one, demonstrate a pictorialist approach to the medium. The pictorialists were eager to distinguish themselves from amateurs working with small, easy-to-use cameras that had begun to appear on the market during the 1880s. They modeled their aesthetic after fine-art "pictures" and gave their images a soft-focus quality that suppressed detail in favor of an expressive reading. A famed portraitist, Steichen periodically turned the camera on himself, as in this Self-Portrait.

Arts & Culture
"An Egoless Practice": Tantric ArtBy Lauren O'Neill-Butler
It could be a cult classic: the debut edition of Siglio Press's Tantra Song—one of the only books to survey the elusive tradition of abstract Tantric painting from Rajasthan, India—sold out in a swift six weeks. Rendered by hand on found pieces of paper and used primarily for meditation, the works depict deities as geometric, vividly hued shapes and mark a clear departure from Tantric art's better-known figurative styles. They also resonate uncannily with lineages of twentieth-century art—from the Bauhaus and Russian Constructivism to Minimalism—as well as with much painting today. Rarely have the ancient and the modern come together so fluidly.
For nearly three decades, the renowned French poet Franck André Jamme has collected these visual communiqués, and it hasn't been easy: in 1985 he survived a fatal bus accident while traveling to visit Hindu tantrikas in Jaipur. In Tantra Song, Jamme assembles some of the most pulsating works he's acquired, while unpacking his experiential knowledge of Tantra's cosmology.
Western views of Tantra tend toward hyperbole. (The New York Times recently published an article, "Yoga and Sex Scandals: No Surprise Here," noting, "Early in the twentieth century, the founders of modern yoga worked hard to remove the Tantric stain.") Jamme's book serves as a corrective to this slant and sheds significant light on the deep historical roots—and fruits—of the practice. Siglio will release a second edition of the book on April 19. Jamme and I recently discussed these anonymously made paintings, the altered states they induce, and their timeless aesthetics.

1,000 Gifts – Week #5
#26. Ann Voskamp. I seriously love this woman and am on a first name basis with her in my mind. I refer to her almost on a daily basis with my husband – "Yeah, today Ann posted the most amazing thing on xyz…" If you have not done it yet, get yourself to her blog, and more importantly, buy her new book One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are. My copy arrived this week, and I can already tell you that I will not be lending it out.

I especially love learning from women who have been walking with Jesus longer than I have been alive. These are my true heroes (Psalm 16:3).
#28. That Jesus still heals our sicknesses and diseases. Preston, Abigail, and I all got our billionth cold of the season this week. Our family is contending for authority over sickness and disease just like Jesus promised we would have, so of course we have had our fair share of illnesses this Fall. Our faith muscles have been tested and are being strengthened! Alas, Jesus came, and all three of us were healed of our colds. To Jesus be the glory, and may He continue to strengthen us to walk in divine health!
#29. Parents who are willing to spend their Sunday hanging lights at our house and doing other "handy" jobs. I am pretty sure our walls would be mostly bare if it was not for them.
#30. In-laws who are willing to spend their Sunday night at our house while our kids sleep so that my beloved husband and I can go on a date. Some of you are hating me now. Yes, we have both sets of parents in town. No, I have never had to hire a babysitter. Yes, I do know how blessed we are.
#31. Blueberries. I don't care that they are not in season and that they have traveled 2,000 miles from Chile to get to us in Texas. Giving Preston blueberries after nap time restored my sanity this week. Let's see how long it continues.
#32. Dreams. The kind you have at night. I don't know what I would do if God did not speak to me in my dreams. I love hearing Him in this way. It makes me hunger for His presence more deeply and causes me to seek out the hidden treasures He is speaking in the night and at all times. Having insomnia in November and December was not only horrible because I was so tired I could not function, but I also missed the messages God would speak in the night. Thank You, Father, for restoring my sleep and blessing me with dreams from You.
#33. Hot tea on cold winter days. I have literally been putting four tea pots in the dishwasher each day. Four. It's a darn good thing we own a tea business because I would be spending a fortune this month on Lemon Lavender alone. I love it.
#34. Hope. That the seasons change – there is the dying that comes in winter, the rebirth in spring, the glory of summer, and the harvest that comes in fall. Each season is necessary and productive in its own way. Something is always happening. I am finally embracing the hiddenness of winter, knowing that a deep work is happening though it is not visible. I have great hope that the seed will sprout up in its timing.
#35. Courage. Doing something I was afraid to do, but doing it anyway. That is my definition of courage. And I did it this week. And it wasn't nearly as terrible as I thought it was going to be. Yep. This is the year that fear will no longer be a part of my life. For me, this is the Year of Jesus. And He was not afraid. Of anything. Or anyone.

A few weeks ago I had a dream – one that I almost wrote off as a nothing dream, until Something prompted me to share it with my husband over breakfast, the way we do every morning. It was a simple dream – short, low on intensity, and not necessarily "spiritual" – at least at first glance. It went like this:
I dreamed that one of my pearl earrings broke and that I was taking it to get repaired. The repair shop was in Houston and normally would take a long time to get it back since I would have to wait for it to be sent to Austin. It turned out, however, that we were going to be traveling to Houston and would be able to pick them up instead. I felt very glad in the dream that I was going to receive my pearls back quickly. End of dream.
Silly dream, right? Means nothing. That's what I thought too after I first woke up. Then I thought, "No, God has used pearls to speak to me in the past. This must mean something more. I think I'll look into this." So I pulled out one of my newest favorite books called "The Divinity Code: The Keys to Decoding your Dreams and Visions." I first went to earrings, sensing that earrings would speak something about hearing God or listening to him. As it turns out, that is exactly what earrings represent, "Hearing." There were detailed interpretations for different types of earrings included as well. Next, I looked up pearls. This was the best part. Pearls represent, "Jesus Christ"; "Revelations of God's Word (spiritual treasure); and "The Kingdom," along with a few definitions that didn't apply. Putting it all together, I now understood that the speedy repair of my broken pearl earring was packed with promise and blessing! God was going to mend the communication lines between Him and me, and bring great spiritual treasure as I listen for His voice. It was already happening.
This dream has been life-changing. I have felt like communication with Him has been broken for the past few years. I haven't received spiritual treasures from His Word in the past few years the way I did in seasons past. And I desperately wanted to. I wonder if He has been communicating these subtle messages over the past few years, but my heart was too distracted to seek them out (or I was too sleep-deprived to notice with two babies). Regardless, my heart is awake now, and I am looking for Him to speak to me constantly. Waking or sleeping, reading His Word or even a magazine, through every man, woman, or child – believer or not- seeking messages of His truth and love, His heart to mine. And boy is He speaking a lot. And as He does, my joy just keeps growing. Just as He promises in Psalm 16:11, "In His presence there is fullness of joy and in His right hand there are pleasures forevermore." As I seek His presence in everything, He shows me His pursuit of me – His constant, fervent, lavish pursuit of me. And I become convinced that I am His favorite, the apple of His eye. And my cup runs over and joy overtakes me. And I never want to go back to broken pearl earrings. I haven't even wanted to wear any other earrings in my jewelry collection because the pearls remind me that I am seeking greater treasure – His voice of love over me. This is where I want to live.

So, I wonder what subtle messages God has been sending your way to woo you, thrill you, and fill your heart with joy. There is no doubt that He is speaking, only sometimes His messages are hidden so that we will seek further. For "it is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings." (Proverbs 25:2) My friends, won't you join me in this adventure of seeking after treasure?

1,000 Gifts – Week #4 – A year later
#20. My sweet ladybug, Abigail Ann. Born 3 weeks early, this little lady has been a restorer of life to my soul. Her joyful smiles, peaceful presence, and contagious laughs have changed our lives forever. Our cups runneth over.
#21. A big Texas Summer thunderstorm. Takes me immediately back to my childhood – watching the storms come in after a day at the pool. The perfect excuse for a mid-day nap.
#22. September. Knowing that the consecutive hundred-plus degree days of August are behind us for another year brings great hope to my heart.
#23. Truth. On days when things are uncertain and not the way we want them to be, it is Truth that we stand on. He is the same yesterday, today, and yes, forever. Amen.
#24. Pasta night. The Buratti family's (my mom's Italian side) scrumptious recipe. Garlic, garlic, and more garlic. We like the pasta, sure, but we're not above eating the sauce as if it were soup.
#25. Looking to the ancient paths. I have been devouring Edith Schaeffer's book, The Hidden Art of Homemaking. Though it is not "ancient," some of the concepts that she presents feel very ancient in our culture. I am inspired, encouraged, and ready to discover the hidden arts of homemaking (yes, homemaking!) that lie within me. Grieved in some ways for the time I have spent "on the sidelines" due to fear, shame, and bad teaching, but GRATEFUL that this truth was revealed to me now. It's never too late. Let's go beat some bread!

#13. The second trimester. Energy back, nausea gone, mood swings diminished. Well, mostly.
#14. Surprise gifts. New slippers arrived in the mail from my Beloved Husband. Looking forward to weather cool enough to warrant them.
#15. The head of the year. Every September a shift takes place and we leave the old behind and enter into the new. I love new beginnings. May this Yom Kippur leave you encouraged as you leave behind offenses and make reconciliation a reality in your life. Praise the Lamb, who takes away the sins.
#16. Small beginnings. We don't always know the end of the story, but we do trust that if we plant seeds, surely we will reap. We plant. We plant. And we plant some more. He is faithful to cause the growth.
#17. Adding value. New paint, trimmed trees, a fresh mum on the porch. Improving our peaceful home one project at a time. It feels good.
#18. Getting away – just the two of us. What a joy to spend a day enjoying time together, away from the day-to-day routine. Even better that both the little one and the grandparents loved their time together too. Oh, and still better that we got to visit my newly married sister and brother-in-law in their new home.
#19. Fresh revelation on a familiar scripture. For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE…He loved, so He gave. Still enjoying the beauty of this truth. Father, may Your extravagant love for people be seen through me through extravagant generosity.

Getting the body ready for baby

It's that time, though I can hardly believe it. Seems like yesterday I gave birth to our little joy-ball in the bathtub at the Austin Area Birthing Center. In reality, it was over fifteen months ago! Time flies, and alas, we are ready to get started with Baby #2. I had a near perfect pregnancy the first time, and while most of that was simply grace (thank You, God!), I do believe that my diet and habits played a significant part. Many women interested in having a natural (drug-free) childbirth have since then asked me what I did for my "perfect pregnancy." So I thought I would give some simple steps to help you so that you can provide the best possible physical environment (I'll cover the spirit and soul/mind in later posts) for your baby to develop. These are a great refresher for me too as I get this body ready!
1. Begin eating a diet based on whole, real foods. If you do only one thing, stop eating "foods" with chemicals. Look for these ingredients specifically and eliminate them completely from your diet: high fructose corn syrup, anything "hydrogenated," Nutrasweet (that means no Diet Coke, ladies), pretty much anything you can't pronounce. Remember, simple is better, and God made our food with everything we need in it. If He didn't put it there in the first place, we probably don't need it. I wholeheartedly recommend Real Food for Mother and Baby: The Fertility Diet, Eating for Two, and Baby's First Foods. This book was written by a real mom and has a real easy-to-read style. If you buy only one book for your pregnancy, make it this one!

Note: If you have been eating a diet full of chemicals and processed foods, would you consider doing a de-tox or "cleanse" before you get pregnant? My favorite cleanse has been the Standard Process 21-day cleanse. It is whole foods based, organic, and completely natural. It is also one of the more balanced cleanses, and has had long-term results for me. It will help you find your ideal weight and will break your food addictions.
2. Water, water, drink more water. Get in the habit now. My beloved husband must have brought me a glass of water every 20 minutes when I was pregnant. Part of what kept my weight down was the fact that I was running to the bathroom every five minutes! This is not necessarily something you will want to do. Do it anyway.
3. Walk! It's one of the few exercises you can do the entire pregnancy. We walked almost everyday of my pregnancy, literally. During the first few weeks, I ran into a woman who had delivered both of her boys without drugs. She said the first birth was much easier than the second because she had prepared by walking all the time. I took her words as if they were from God Himself and I made it my goal to walk all the time. Since I was determined to have a drug-free birth, I basically pretended that I was training for a marathon and kept a painfully regimented schedule. It really helps if you have a partner to do this with – like your husband!
4. Stretch! Boy, do I need to be writing this. I have not been diligent about stretching post-partum, but that is about to change. We had a few sets of exercises that we (I) did each night to help me maintain flexibility. I was determined not to swell and knew that I needed to keep good circulation. It worked! Stretching. Key. You could also do prenatal yoga. I kept it simple and just bought a video rather than going to classes. If you are like me and only want to buy one video, I'd go with this one: Prenatal Yoga. Once I had watched it a few times I just did the exercises that I liked the best so that I didn't have to sit through too much mumbo jumbo. No offense.
5. Take prenatal vitamins. I am passionate about my prenatals. If you are a skeptic and think all brands are the same, trust me, they are not! You want a whole food-based vitamin (that means you are eating actual foods, not synthetic garbage!), preferably organic. Again, I wholeheartedly recommend Perfect Prenatal. Go ahead and buy the big one. You'll be pregnant a while and you'll still want to take them when you're nursing all the time.
6. Rest, relax, and get in the habit of taking naps. You need lots of sleep. My beloved husband stroked my arm until I fell asleep every night since it was sometimes hard for me to get relaxed. This was great practice for labor since relaxation can help the labor process go much more smoothly. Watching a movie was also like taking a sleeping pill. Whatever works for you, get some sleep.
This list is by no means exhaustive, but I am sure you already have a stack of books to tell you everything else. The point was to keep it simple. It's not all about the body either, so stay tuned for future posts about getting your mind and spirit ready for a perfect pregnancy, labor and delivery, and baby!

The blue egg hunt
It all began with my beloved husband's wedding gift to me – to redecorate his our house however God inspired me. Yes, every woman's dream. Given the lavishness of this gift, I took it very seriously and went to the Master Creator for inspiration and some type of roadmap. It had been awhile since I had felt creative in that way. One morning while journaling before our wedding, I saw a clear picture in my imagination of how our living room was to look – bright, clean, simple – a ledge next to the window with three small bud vases, white flowers in each vase, and a bowl full of robin blue stone eggs. The blue eggs were the striking part. Where was I to find these eggs? As clear as day, His voice said to my heart, "You'll find them on your honeymoon."
Exhilarated, I ran to my beloved and told him what we had to look forward to on our honeymoon – a blue egg hunt – led by our wild Heavenly Father who happens to take great joy in decorating. My beloved was as thrilled as I was. An adventure to come! The magical wedding day came and went, and our first honeymoon began. Jackson Hole. We took in the bright blue skies, the purple mountains' splendor, and the sparkling lakes, but there was not a bright blue stone egg in sight. 5 days later, we left Jackson Hole without blue eggs, and the hope that honeymoon #2 would bring the promised gift.
Along came honeymoon #2 – two weeks later – a 14-day Baltic Sea cruise with my beloved husband's family – parents, brothers, and sister-in-law. My mother-in-law wanted to visit the place of her roots – Lithuania – and wanted her sons to experience it with her. Though we spent most of the time in our luxury room (it had a balcony!) – wink, wink – we managed to make it off the ship to visit the ports of call (barely). We scoured Stockholm, Riga, Helsinki, and St. Petersburg to no avail. That we did not find the blue eggs in St. Petersburg was somewhat of a miracle since they are ubiquitous, and practically have a status as a national symbol! Nope, not there. The hunt continued…
Finally we arrive in Lithuania – the place of my mother-in-law's roots. We looked, and looked, and looked, just knowing our eggs were somewhere in that quaint city. Almost ready to give up, we stumbled upon what was the largest, liveliest arts-and-crafts festival I have ever seen. Tens of thousands of Scandinavians descended on Klaipeda that weekend for the festival. Thinking the same thoughts, beloved husband and I looked at each other and said, "They're there, let's go!". Off we went -booth by booth – looking, leaving, looking again. I said to him, "Oh, these look like what I saw in my vision, but they were…" – I paused, looked again, there it was – "…blue. This is it! This is what I saw!" They were there. What I had prayerfully imagined was made manifest right before my eyes. We screamed, jumped up and down, embraced, and danced, right there outside of that tiny booth. We bought all she had – 3 blue stone eggs. There must be more. Let's keep looking! We went to every booth in that massive festival that day, two giddy, overflowing-with-joy children of God, searching for treasures with our Heavenly Father. As He would have it, He brought us two other brilliant blue stone eggs, making a grand total of five. We skipped back to ship, brimming with joy over this promise fulfilled. And still…
Five. Why not seven? He brought five. The number of grace and favor. There may be many reasons, but the one I like the best is that those five eggs remind me that it is all His grace. His grace put the vision of those eggs in my imagination, His grace gave me the faith to believe that He "could bring something out of nothing," His grace took us on an amazing trip where we could search for those eggs, His grace ordered our steps that led us to those exact booths to find those exact blue eggs, His grace gave us the money to pay for those blue eggs, and His grace brought them safely to our beautiful home where they sit as the centerpiece in our living room where life happens daily. And favor. During that time, I really believed that God favored me enough to tell me exactly how to decorate my house, and then provide all the details. Disappointments, discouragement, and busyness seem to have diminished that childlike faith during these past several months. Was that just a season that ended? Or, is He still willing? Oh, I hear Him say that He "is more than willing." Does He really speak that way? Oh yes, and so much more. He is wild, extravagant, and lavish. He does more than we can ask for or imagine. More than. These blue eggs are just the beginning. If only I will seek. If only I will ask. If only I will believe.
Will you?

Born to the Venetian nobility. Caytanao studied law in Padua, and was offered governing posts, but turned them down for a religious vocation. Ordained at age 36. In 1522, Cajetan founded a hospital in Venice, Italy for victims of incurable illness. Cajetan was aware of the need of reformation in the Church, and felt called to enter a religious community to serve the sick and poor. On 3 May 1524, with three others, including John Peter Caraffa who later became Pope Paul IV, he formed the Congregation of Clerks Regular (Theatines) at Rome, Italy with the mission of fostering the Church's mission and reviving the spirit and zeal of the clergy. Founded a bank to help the poor and offer an alternative to usurers (loan sharks); it later became the Bank of Naples. Known for a gentle game he played with parishioners where he would bet prayers, rosaries or devotional candles on whether he would perform some service for them; he always did, and they always had to "pay" by saying the prayers.

I am new to Unit testing but totally understand the benefits of it and want to start dong it more often.I currently have a project that is already developed and id like to add tests to it.It uses the revelaing module pattern with most of the methods as private is this a problem for testing?Would i need to make them public or use one public method to call the private ones?
How do you choose what to test?I assume that if it is a simple ajax call then you can test the responce etc but what if it is code for an accordion, what would you test then?
I appreciate any advice
Unit testing is only for public methods. If you want to ensure that private methods are doing what they need to as well, more extensive functional tests and integration tests would then be wanted.
You test everything you can. Adding tests on to an already existing project doesn't tend to result in much success. It's usually better to use that project as initial development code that helps you to learn what needs to be done, and to then start a new set of development code where you use tests to help drive what code needs to be written.
If it's a simple ajax call, you can replace it with a simple object to simluate what would normally be done. Unit testing is not for ensuring that the code causes the web browser to behave properly. Unit testing is only testing the structure of your code itself. Integration testing with something such as Selenium is where more extensive tests come in to place.
An excellent video about this is Test Driving JavaScript - it's well worth the watch. He has an example in there about testing that an element is focussed, and his approach is quite insightful.
If you want to install the Ruby script that he uses to run JavaScript unit tests after a file save, I can supply further details about that too.
Thanks Paul that is a great Video I've started to watch it and i think it will be really useful.
Do you have an example of a test for ajax i could see?
Sure thing. Here's an example using a jsfiddle template for testing with Jasmine. We can use spies to monitor how things are going.
function requestHandler() {
function requestData(url, handler) {
$.get(url, handler);
describe("usesJqueryAjaxRequest", function () {
it("callsJqueryGetMethod", function () {
spyOn($, 'get');
it("callsDataPage", function () {
var url = 'getData.php';
spyOn($, 'get');
expect($.get).toHaveBeenCalledWith(url, undefined);
// There are two ways of checking that functions have been called one is to make them public and use Spies to check on them, and the other is to pass it in as a dependency.
// The first option is what we'll use here.
it("handlesResponseFromUrl", function () {
var url = 'getData.php',
callback = requestHandler;
spyOn($, 'get');
requestData(url, callback);
expect($.get).toHaveBeenCalledWith(url, callback);
You can see it in action at http://jsfiddle.net/pmw57/XKvZq/2/
But, the code and the tests don't tell the whole story. It's a process of doing one test to define what is needed, then writing a minimum of code to achieve that test.It's a continuous cycle of:
It's important to first have a failing test. If it doesn't fail - is cannot determine if the code is doing what's required.
Those tests above were used to build up the code, but because their asserts would all work from the last test, it would be a good idea to refactor the test to remove all but the last test - because that's all that's needed to test the existing functionality of the requestData function.
If anyone's interested, an article on how to unit test private functions was linked in the JavaScript Weekly newsletter today.
Yes, I read that. Basically you throw in special test code that gets stripped out production phase?
I still maintain though that unit tests are for defining the interface of your code. How the code achieves those results is not in the realm of unit testing. The following article gives some good details on the differences between unit, functional, acceptance, and integration testing,
Unit testing is just the tip of the iceberg.
thanks for the info guys
if you were setting up a project yu knew you were going to be running both unit tests and functional tests what pattern would you follow for you js code?
The pattern that I would use is to not write code until I first have a failing test.
Then start with a new test.
The fail/pass/refactor paradigm is the heartbeat of a strong and capable system.
When you have enough tests and enough code that gives you something that can be used, that is where functional tests come in. Unit tests build up the interface for your code, checks that the code is structured in a way that is easy to test, and ensures that future changes you make (with a test first) don't break your existing tests. Functional tests ensure that the code works properly in its environment.
You can see a good example of someone doing unit tests at [calculator TDD Kata in JavaScript](calculator tdd kata in javascript). You should notice in it that some parts have tests written for them, and other parts don't have tests written for them. Is that because he's getting ahead of himself and not doing the tests? Perhaps - or it could just mean that he needs to push some of the public methods down as private ones instead.
At around the 16 minute mark, you'll see that he uses a try/catch to test for an exception. If you're using Jasmine to do the testing, that has a test that can actually check if an exception has been thrown, such as:
ok so if i wrote a test that tested a value was being set for an item then i built the project and i had a function that had this code in what would be the best way to write that set of code so that i can test it? or are tests simply seperate and dont tests the functions themselves?
Would you like us to direct you to useful information that explains about just what unit testing is, and how it is used?
that's ok ive found some links on it but thanks for your help

Do Follow My Google Pagerank Increase Tips...My Pagerank Just Jumped from 2 to 5!
Google Pagerank is important.
To put it simply, Google assigns a rank ranging from 0 - 10 to determine how important a website is or isn't.
Zero means little importance, 10 means you're as important as, well...Google.com
Check your Google Pagerank right here with this tool, seeing as though there's this big debate over the accuracy of the pagerank displayed on the toolbar right now.
For the longest time my Google Pagerank was sitting at a paltry 2, even though I did all the stuff that techies swear would help, including linking to my own blog a lot.
Increasing Google Pagerank from 2 to 5
Finally, the other day -- after I'd written an envious comment or two on other blogs excited over their Pagerank increases -- I noticed that the little green line on my Google Pagerank toolbar had moved to the middle when I was sitting on my blog's home page.
I was so excited to see my Pagerank jump to a five, I took the above screenshot.
What's the big deal about Google Pagerank?
For me, who knew nothing about Pagerank mere months ago, PR -- as they call it -- has become a gold mine.
More and more sites that pay bloggers for individual blog posts (sign-up for free email updates to find out more about getting paid to blog and such) use Google Pagerank as one of the factors to determine how much that blog is worth.
Just look at this guy selling PR 5 one-way links for 40 bucks a pop!
So PR matters.
It matters so much, before mine jumped to a five, I hunted down the Google employee in charge of Pagerank and asked him why my PR was so low.
He told me to breathe, take up yoga, and diagnosed that I was suffering from PRO -- pagerank obsession -- and led me to Webmaster Central for tips.
Join the Dofollow Movement and Increase Your Pagerank...
Linking to myself so much (like in my byline above, which links to my homepage) or leaving comments on other blogs with something called NOFOLLOW attributes in the code didn't help me at all.
Basically, if I left a comment on somebody's site and signed it http://paulamooney.blogspot.com, for example, and they have NOFOLLOW attributes set up in their code, that bit of comment spamming would get me nowhere.
However, if I left http://paulamooney.blogspot.com in the comment section of somebody's blog who was kind enough to remove those NOFOLLOW attributes, Google would count that towards my pagerank.
So do this stuff and let me know if your pagerank increases in the next 3 - 4 months of active commenting on DOFOLLOW blogs and linking to yourself on your own blog:
(1) Read and act on the advice of Andy Beard, who spells out in this post how to remove the nofollow attributes on your blog.
(2) Join DOFOLLOW blogrolls like those at Tricia's Musings.
(3) Add a pretty U Comment, I Follow kind of image created by Randa Clay to your blog and let folks know you've banished that NOFOLLOW stuff and encourage them to comment -- but not with spam. Check out all the blogs listed in her post and see which ones have removed their NOFOLLOW and comment away!
(4) Link back to your main blog on any other blogs or sites you author, and make sure to remove those NOFOLLOW attributes, too, if you can. This is what I do -- at least the linking to my main blog -- from my dad's tax blog and another blog I author.
But I just reminded myself to go check those NOFOLLOW attributes too!
With time and lots of good "do following," your Google Pagerank should steadily increase...

PS...I saw your boy Robin Thicke on American idol last night...Mmmmmm!!!!
LOL...I don't see your PageRank in that screenshot.
Now...girlfriend...be careful on who you give the link love too, because if they have pageranks of ) to...say 4...they will contribute to bringing your links down, for giving them outgoing links.
I'm not being a link whore, but read this article...

Paula, did you know that Toolbar's Pagerank is different from their internal pagerank?
But the most important thing you should know is that the pagerank you see on the toolbar is updated only every 4-5 months..
And don't worry too much about it on comments. Google's engineers are smart enough to understand that comment links are not as important as article's links. So if I write here Check Technorati Favorites Tool (which is on a PR3 site) it shouldn't give away your PR rating too much.

Once again, you have come up with great ideas to follow and I have done them with all hopes of gaining better standing with my blog! Thank you Paula for the help you give us all.I am interested, how long was it before you saw the page rank jump?

- Paula Neal Mooney said...
Hey all, thanks for letting me know good tips, too.
Bonnie - I'm headed over to check out your piece.
Maurizio - Yeah, I read that those toolbar PRs differ from the internal PR. I believe that PR checker I listed shows the internal PR...
I'm still gonna run you Technorati Favorites Tool to see who's favorited me and who I need to badger! Just kidding...
Lisa - Seems like I was stuck on a PR of 2 for months and months. I read Google updates every 3 - 4 months, but mine didn't update a few months ago when everyone else's did. I really believe the DOFOLLOW movement helped.
Hey Michael - Which Michael are you? Please enable your Blogger profile, if you will...

- Saturday, May 05, 2007 5:02:00 PM
- Paula Neal Mooney said...
Hey Martin - In practical terms, sites like ReviewMe, PayPerPost, and other advertisers check out a sites' Google Pagerank in order to determine how much you get paid to blog.
So...if you're interested in making money off your blog thru ad revenue, paid blogging sites, etc., the higher you get towards a PR of 10, the better.

The way most people make money blogging is by running ads on their blogs and by getting paid to write posts -- and for referring people to products and getting a cut of the pay.

I subscribed to the movement yesterday and even added my site to one of those lists displaying all participating sites. Sadly, I have been spammed 4 times in less than 24 hours by people who clearly have zero interest in my site and what it is about. This is only a great idea if applied to trusted commenters on your blog- or if you use a plugin that allows you to set a certain number of comments someone must have first.

PageRank updates occur once every few months, and the last one was about a week ago- so don't expect any overnight jumps in PageRank- the next time your PR will change will be no earlier than July.

Yeah, Dustin - You've gotta be diligent about deleting the spam commenting when you do the "do follow" or "i follow" or "no no follow" thing.
I'll probably go thru today and delete the ones that are truly spammy comments on my blog.
WordPress has that askimet thing.
I wonder if Blogger has something like that?
I like to make it easy for people to leave comments, without all that CATCHPA stuff...

Great tip. I've actually been adding the feeds of dofollow blogs into a script I created that shows a random set of feed titles at a page on my blog. I try to read 5 do follow blogs a day, and if I'm interested in the content, I comment!
I figure that way, I get links from blogs that match my interests-- which generally match my niche.

Hi Colonel Cash
Glad you made those changes. I hope they help your PR.
Publishing David...now there's a direct name!
Yes, dofollow unto others as you would have them dofollow unto you.
Good. Yeah, it'll be exciting to see that little Google PR bar go up in the future!
Have you published info about that script somewhere? Sounds like you and Julian could hook up with that idea...
You'd better go buy DoYouFollow.com ASAP before somebody else snatches that domain name!
I'm so blessedly busy setting up my other dot com on WordPress, I'm pretty involved with that.
But are you on WordPress.org now?
Tell me your vision for the dofollow site...I think you've got a GREAT idea there.

I have activated the akismet in WP.. and now i need to active the dofollow-plugins, how do you think about this idea?
Please let me know
- Monday, July 09, 2007 3:03:00 AM
- Paula Neal Mooney said...
Hi Natalie -
You know, I activated that Askimet plugin on my WordPress site, but I got errors.
I kinda prefer to manually moderate comments for now anyway.
But the DOFOLLOW stuff, I've only done that on my Blogger blogs, not WP yet.
Yet if you follow the link in this post to Andy Beard's blog, he has LOTS of info on WP sites, as well as DOFOLLOW issues with WP sites.
Much more experience than me, so check out Andy's site and let me know if that answers your questions.
I know some people around the blogosphere are going back to the NOFOLLOW thing because of spam comments abuse, but I'm staying DOFOLLOW for know.
I'll see how much my Google Pagerank increases the next update...

About rank: (from Amazon)
Leverage links. Web sites that are linked to from lots of other sites are often deemed more popular and get a higher ranking in search results. However, more important than the number of links is the quality of those links. Contact owners of other Web sites that score highly for key phrases related to your content, and ask them if they will provide a link back to your site. Make sure, too, that the content on your own site is properly linked together. Crawlers will often start with your home page and then follow links from there to other areas of your site. Therefore, if you fail to provide working links to all your pages, some of your content may end up unindexed.
Now who want link exchange?

As a tribute to those bloggers who follow links (remove nofollow attribute from links) in comments and trackbacks I have created a custom search engine to search within blogs that follow links in comments and trackbacks. Hope this will be helpful to bloggers who are in search of posts in their niche to comment on.
I am looking forward to your participation in this project. If you are willing to become a contributor please click on "Volunteer to contribute" link on the Custom Search Engine homepage. If not you can simply contribute by sending in the URLs of the blogs that follow links in their comments and trackbacks section.
Don't forget to bookmark this custom search engine for your own use.
You can also add this search engine to your google ig homepage and also to your blog! Just visit the custom search engine homepage and you'll find the links to add them.

Do follow blogs is the way to move forward and this is mainly because it encourages more people to comment.
Yes there is the threat of spammers and I think this can be solved by various methods. Spamming ownt be a problem if you are an active blogger.

The problem with do-follow is people will spam. If a blog is good enough then the blog owner won't need to have do-follow because people will comment to put their point of view accross, not to gain a back link.
The BBC is a perfect example of this. There are no links in the forums and blogs, yet they have many users.
However, when a blog is starting and it wants to get a upper hand, their is no harm in attracting people who want do-follow links, because some will become hooked, so even if you change to no-follow, people will still comment.
- Tuesday, March 24, 2009 6:29:00 PM
- Irene said...
You make excellent points about Page rank here. There is a difference between working hard and working smart. I think 95% of links are essentially worthless for ranking purposes, though they can always bring in traffic, which is not a bad thing at all… I just can't figure out which ones belong in the 95% category and which are in the magical other 5%.

Over the last month, Max Nunes (8-0) has staked his claim as one of the UK's finest prospects with three solid victories, the latest being a win over Tony Moran (9-4 1NC) at BAMMA 10. The 205-pounder speaks on his recent form here.
On the Moran fight:
Full interview here: http://www.britmma.co.uk//max-nunes-...eks/4569137814I was very happy; I feel great. I didnt take any damage in any of those fights and this is what enabled me to carry on. As a professional athlete, if you can compete then you want to compete.
It was at very short notice, but I was already in great shape from my match with Iain Martell at UCMMA and preparation for my title fight at Fury MMA against Brett Cole.
It didnt really faze me to fight again so soon because Im always fighting fit so I didnt have a reason to say no. My management received a call from Jude [Samuel] at BAMMA and it was too good an opportunity to turn down.
My team and I had the utmost confidence in me and that this was another fight I could win, so we went for it.

Kouzmanoff, Rangers blank M's - April 15, 2014
Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Kevin Kouzmanoff has proven to be a capable stand-in for injured third baseman Adrian Beltre.
Kouzmanoff went 3-for-4 with three RBI, and Robbie Ross threw 7 2/3 strong innings as the Texas Rangers blanked the Seattle Mariners 5-0 in the second of a four-game set at Globe Life Park.
Prince Fielder and Kouzmanoff each belted their first home runs as Rangers when they went back-to-back off Seattle starter Blake Beavan (0-1) in the second inning. Kouzmanoff added a two-out, two-run double in the eighth before scoring on Mitch Moreland's single.
Summoned from Triple-A Round Rock after Beltre suffered a quad injury, Kouzmanoff has hit safely in each of his first six games with the club.
Ross (1-0) limited the Mariners to five singles to pick up his first career win as a starter and help Texas rebound from a loss in Monday's opener.
"It's funny because I'm just trying to go out there and do the best I can to keep it close because I know we're going to start scoring," Ross said.
Beavan, up from Triple-A Tacoma to fill injured James Paxton's spot in the rotation, gave up six hits in four innings.
Seattle was shut out for the third time in six games.
Probably the first night where I was probably a little disappointed in our approach a little bit," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said.
Fielder opened the second with a lined shot to center field and Kouzmanoff took Beavan, a former first-round pick of the Rangers, deep to left two pitches later.
The Mariners threatened in the eighth, putting two on with two outs.
Ross hit Brad Miller with a pitch for the second time before he concluded his outing by retiring Robinson Cano on a fly ball to center. Corey Hart then singled off reliever Alexi Ogando, but pinch-hitter Dustin Ackley flied out to left.
Texas tacked on against Seattle reliever Tom Wilhelmsen in the bottom of the eighth. Elvis Andrus doubled and Wilhelmsen intentionally walked Fielder with two down. Kouzmanoff then found the gap in left-center and Moreland followed with a comebacker that deflected off Wilhelmsen into the outfield.
Game Notes
Both teams wore No. 42 jerseys to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day ... The 13- game home run drought to begin the season was Fielder's longest at the start of a season since 2010, when he went 14 games ... Cano went 1-for-4 and has now recorded a hit in 13 consecutive road games dating back to last season ... Seattle third baseman Kyle Seager had a 15-game hitting streak in Arlington end after going 0-for-4 ... The Mariners created room on the roster for Beavan by sending pitcher Lucas Luetge to Tacoma following Monday's win.

Card Stories provides a server for a networked guessing game using picture cards. One player (the "author") starts the game by choosing a card, picking a word or a sentence to describe it, and sending out invitations to others to participate. Each of these players receives seven cards and has to pick one that best matches the author's description. Once enough players have chosen a card, the author displays all chosen cards and the players try to figure out which one is the author's. If at least one but not all of them guesses correctly, the author wins, along with the players who guessed correctly. Otherwise, the guessers all win.

Jenner is a Web page templating system with a twist: it runs completely within a Web browser. Templates are just normal Web pages with special syntax inside text nodes, attributes, or comments. Unlike other in-browser templating systems, Jenner does not require overloading of "class" attributes or invalid HTML; all Jenner templates are valid Web pages and the template expressions flow in a very natural way. Having the template engine in the Web browser instead of on the server takes a lot of load off of the server, and makes for a clean separation of presentation and content. Jenner is very powerful: it has the full power of the Esel expression language at its disposal. Templates can be rendered from JSON data, and can be re-rendered without a browser-to-server round trip.
