|Rebecca Schumacher's legacy site was rife with show-stopping failures. Property images had to be loaded one at a time; if the sort order needed to change, previous images had to be deleted back to the point where the order changed, and then re-upoloaded in the correct order. The worst offense committed by the previous developers, though, was implementing a software library that re-generated image thumbnails... every time every user loaded every page... every time. The resource load was intensive, and the site was slooooooow. And that's all before any discussion of aesthetics, marketing, branding, etc.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars Program was designed to build the field of population health by training scholars to investigate the connections among biological, behavioral, environmental, economic, and social determinants of health; and develop, evaluate, and disseminate knowledge and interventions based upon integration of these determinants.This grant supports two Health and Society (HSS) scholars in the tenth cohort, as well as the infrastructure, intellectual activities, and research and policy opportunities that will provide training for these future leaders in population health. Over its first decade, the HSS Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) accomplished major goals in population health scholarship. The scholars are provided intensive mentoring and training opportunities and participated in fertile research collaborations at the site. The site's mission to nurture the field of population health on and beyond the campus has been highly productive, supported by innovative investments of the Research and Training funds. The HSS Program at UW-Madison is a main force behind enhanced population health research and knowledge transfer on and beyond the campus through the seminar and professional development curriculum for scholars, grant-making initiatives in population health teaching and research, and cross-campus symposia. The Scholars have exciting, productive mentoring and collaborative opportunities with UW-Madison faculty as well as individuals working in the realms of public- and private-sector policymaking. The program has enabled an impressive network of faculty collaborators from many schools, departments, centers, and institutes across the large campus.

Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
A lot of people are raging over this, but I have to ask myself in the year 2013 does it actually matter?
I own PS3 and 360, and a PC and all THREE are "always online", i've never had an internet connection problem, it is not an issue.
question is, unless you live in the barren wastes of outer mongolia, is "always online" going to be a problem for you?
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
Anywhere in the first world it's incredibly easy to have the internet, and if you don't live in a country where you have easy access to the internet, I think X-Boxes are the least of your worries
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
Really? The town where I grew up, 150 km away from where I am sitting right now in a (semi-)major city, still has no high-speed internet. Yes. That's right. The only internet option there is dial-up. That is NOT a unique situation in Canada (or the US, I am willing to bet).
Even in the first world, internet connections can be spotty. And hell, it's probably the times that the internet is out that people want to play their games.
But you've never had an internet connection issue, so that issue doesn't exist, right? :rolleyes:
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
There is another issue. Some countries are faster than the US in internet connectivity speeds. I have heard that Asia, in particular, is much faster than the US.
I am looking at the Playstation 4. Microsoft seems to be on a downward slide. Their latest offering, Windows 8, is being partially blamed for the declining sales in PCs.
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
I am primarily a single player gamer. The fact that the next Xbox will disable my game if I'm not connected to their server is unacceptable. Both my 360 and PS3 are currently always online, but there are certain times of the year where my area suffers frequent blackouts. The last time, during Hurricaine Sandy, the power was out close to a week. I. Have a smal generator that can run my fridge and I've made room for a TV and an the PS3 or Xbox to run and this kept my family somewhat entertained during those times. Going forward, the Xbkx won't be an option for times like that.
I'm also adverse to the thought of adding another monthly bill.
Comparisons to the iPhone are flawed because I can actually disable the Data Usage on my iPhone and sti make calls and 90% of the apps I have will still work. The Xbox will basically be a paperweight at that point.
I'll eventually get both, but PS4 first and foremost for me.
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
it's shocking to me that much richer more advanced countries like canada and the US would have worse internet???
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
As i see it the consumer gets nothing from this always on feature that is not already avalible at present, but those running the service gain total control of everything you do with the hardware and software you buy.
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
The last I heard you won't even be able to take games to your mate's house and play them on their console.
Quite frankly, they can piss off.
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
If they do ending using this "always on" feature, they can pretty much just hand the next gen over to Sony. Customers will desert them in droves or just stick with their 360's and not upgrade.
Requiring a constant connection does NOTHING for the customer and is only there to benefit the publisher who are increasingly bending the definition of what it means to sell something and what it means for someone to own something they sold them. Imagine if your car's engine needed a clear radio signal on the stereo in order to run. How many drivers do you think would buy a car that konked out the second they hit some RF static?
For games where online functionality is either non-existent, superfluous or only a component of the full product (Mass Effect 3's MP mode for example) it make ZERO sense to lock out the single player, or even local multi-player functions. It's draconian, it's obnoxious and nothing good will come of it.
Also, who are they kidding using piracy as an excuse? If this does come about (and i frankly doubt it because I just don't believe MS are *that* stupid) I'd best serious cash that within a matter of days, some bugger will have cracked the OS to ignore the function and the only people suffering would be the legitimate customers.
Also, I don't know about anyone else, but one of the reasons I like having my PS3 in the living room is that if the cable goes down (which it has been known to from time to time) is so that I can stick in a game (or film) and not sit in the dark like a nonce.
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
Sim City and Diablo 3
I'm very confident that my internet connection will hold up, but I am concerned with Microsoft's ability to uphold their end of the bargain by providing servers that are up 24/7.
Older Games
Hey, you know what? I feel like playing some Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Genesis. I'll just pop the cart in, turn the power on, and wait while my system connects to the official Sega Server. Wait, what's this? Sega has shut down their servers? My entire library of Genesis games is now and forever dead? :eek:
Used Games
As in no more used games. Took a risk buying that $60 title and hated it? Would like to sell it and put the money towards a new game? Well, tough luck. I guess you'll have to take less risks in the future and only buy games that you're 100% sure you'll love. Say goodbye to developers taking chances and trying something new with their games! Say hello to endless sequels!
No advantage to consumers
You might be okay with the first three points I made, but you're not getting anything in return for these losses. There is no advantage, no matter how small or insignificant, to consumers here. It's all just a way for Microsoft to eliminate used games and enforce harsher DRM in an attempt to prevent piracy.
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
I don't even give a shit what Microsoft does with their next console. I never owned an Xbox, I don't have a 360, I probably won't buy the next one. I also don't have a PS3 or a Wii U. So, this is all academic to me.
I do suspect the next generation will be more hostile to consumers than ever, but that happens every generation, and people keep buying the damn things. Get off the fucking treadmill, folks.
Re: Regarding next X-Box and "always online"
Its a cheap attempt to block 2nd hand games (I don't buy them personally) but publishers make money off them now with online/season passes + normal DLC, so they don't need to block them. It would also cost a HUGE amount of people their jobs worldwide as retail game sellers would take a huge hit. Never mind my internet going down, what happens if XBL goes down?

About "Nor Horizon"
"Nor Horizon" UCO LLC is committed to promoting poverty alleviation in Armenia by providing high-quality financial and other business development services to enterprising individuals in under-served rural and urban markets who have a strong will to establish and develop their own small-scale businesses. Originally created as the Armenian micro credit program of Oxfam (Great Britain) in late 1995, "Nor Horizon" LLC has been licensed under supervision of the Central Bank of Armenia since early 2006.
For more information about "Nor Horizon," please visit the partner page or website.
To stay updated on loans from Armenia, please join the Armenia lending team at http://www.kiva.org/team/armenia.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

I just finished mounting up the '06 Z1 Light on my Pack and thought you guys might enjoy some pics. Weight came in at 5.66 lbs, on a Digital Feedback scale, with an uncut steer tube and the thru-axel installed. Squeak mentioned that the few he and Larry had weighed came in at 5.9 lbs. I'd better crack it open and make sure it's got all the oil. I think the white on white looks sharp. The 3rd photo shows the TAS knob (black) and the external rebound adjustment (red). Time to go break it in.
Oh ya, quick question for those of you currently running TAS. The instruction manual says, "Before using the TAS cartridge adjustment, you will have to completely deflate the positive air chamber... and then re-establish the correct working pressure." You guys aren't doing this each time you adjust your travel are you?

"Great Place to Rent in Roatan"
My wife and I just returned from a stay at Sea Pool Villas on Johnson Bight in Roatan, Honduras.
Sea Pool Villas is a fantastic place to stay in Roatan and the owners, Jaw and Brigitta, are two of the most wonderful people you could hope to rent a vacation home from. Jaw has a smile and manner that makes you want to give him a big hug and Brigitta is one of the most helpful people around. She can arrange deals for you at several places and give you great general advice.
Let me tell you how I came to decide on Sea Pool Villas. I did an initial search on Trip advisor for homes in Roatan and I came upon Seapool Villas along with several others. I sent my wife about 10 links of properties that looked good to me. She got back to me within a half an hour and said she wanted to stay at Seapool Villas. Since I don't take a lot of vacations I wanted to make sure I got the right property for us to truly relax, so I looked at literally every listing on Vrbo for rentals in Roatan. After that search Seapool Villas was one of two that made it to the "finals" and after carefully comparing the two properties, my wife and I decided on Sea Pool Villas. It was a very good decision.
Excellent location, far enough out from town to be "away from it all" and still be at a good bar, restaurant or supermarket within 15-20 minutes. Several restaurants/bars (on resorts) are closer.
Magnificient grounds with beautiful fruit trees, flowers, interesting plants and, because the owners care about the environment, a lot of local creatures to check out. Then there are the beautiful fish etc. to observe because of the very good snorkeling available directly from the private dock that leads out from the property (hint, the snorkeling around the sea pool, and around the rock/coral formations to the left as you look out from the dock is really because you can be in the water less than 5 minutes from the front door).
Please see my wife's review which is a continuation of this one.

"The best place to stay in Roatan!"
We arrived in Roatán Saturday at noon, Jaw was already waiting for us at the airport to greet us. Unfortunately we could not meet Brigitta as she had to take a trip outside of Honduras, she had been just awesome in replying to my emails inquiring about the property and Roatan in general. Jaw helped us with the car rental and off we went to see where the supermarkets and popular restaurants where, when we arrived at the Sea Pool Villas everything was just exactly as the pictures, amazing! Jaw had put a fresh fruit basket and bottle of wine which is just great hospitality service. We had everything that we could possibly need in the house, there's tons of movies if you want to do that, there's WiFi, there is a grill outside, the doors open to the most breath taking views of the ocean! That day after we went grocery shopping, we changed into our bathing suits and headed straight into the ocean for some snorkeling off the deck, the water was just nice and crystal clear, when we came out we seated there in the bench by the dock to just view the sunset... I wish I was there right now! The rest of our stay we were picked up at the private deck by Subway watersports and went diving every day three times a day, it was really a diving trip :) We had breakfast and lunch at the house, but for dinner we went to town. Every day Jaw would leave fresh fruit like papaya, mangoes, and star fruit from their many fruit trees that are right there! For some reason we all cut ourselves the first day that we arrived, we called Jaw and he immediately brought band-aids and alcohol wipes, he was always looking for ways to make us feel comfortable and taken care of. The nights here where just amazing! No light pollution, no noise, simply paradise. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to unwind and enjoy!

We are glad that all of you had a marvellous time at Sea Pool Villas. It is always very rewarding for the property owner to receive such a great review. We always hope that our guests have an unforgettable and wonderful vacation at Sea Pool Villas and on Roatan Island. After all, vacations should be the best time of the year. Roatan is indeed a great place for snorkeling and diving. With Subway Watersports just being around the corner from Sea Pool Villas, our guests are in a perfect location for diving. It is great to know that you had the opportunity to experience and see the abundant marine life in the Caribbean Sea. Thank you Mariana for your great review and we hope to welcome you back sometime in the future.

"Perfect , Surreal, Romantic, Exciting getaway!!"
We stayed here a couple weeks ago and it was absolutely beautiful. The property has the best of both worlds... Seclusion, and yet close to town and other activities. Brigitta and Jaw shared great hidden treasures of Roatan. We were able to see beautiful places and people that most travelers would not experience. Highlights of our trip included.. A massage under our palapa, snorkeling, eating Lionfish, kayaking, and relaxing on a tropical beach. They recommended little French Key Island, and it was great. We highly recommend it as well.
We rented a car, not a 4x4, and it was fine but the roads are hilly and some bumpy, so its your preference.
You will definitely enjoy this your stay here.
We hope to come back soon. Thanks again!

"Amazing Private Beachfront Paradise"
This is an amazing private paradise! My husband, daughter and I were truly stunned at the magnificent beauty of this property. It is jaw dropping. The pictures are impressive, but believe it or not, it's better. My husband and I have traveled many places and rented many homes. We both agreed that this was the best property we have ever rented.
The house was pristine. The gardens are lush and manicured yet have a wild beauty. The dock/sitting area is incredible. At night, the land
is magical. It's dark and rich with exotic sounds from the natural habitat. There were beautiful light shows from distant heat lighting and brilliant fireflies throughout the gardens.
The most important factor in our enjoyment of our vacation experience were the owners Brigitta and Jaw. They were the premier concierges. They picked us up at the airport, made sure we were totally comfortable, arranged massage and pedicures that we enjoyed outside in the beautiful garden next to the water. They helped us with all aspects of the best places to shop, eat and tour. They have excellent relationships with the locals which translated into excellent service for us by the massage service, dive shop and restaurants.
Bottom line, it was the best vacation we have ever had.

"Absolutely Fantabulous"
I don't see how we could possibly have done better than to select Sea Pool Villas for our first visit to Roatan. The house was immaculate, air-conditioned, modern, and comfortable, with breathtaking ocean views from the balconies. The surrounding grounds were groomed, manicured, and gorgeous. The private dock was a great place to hang out, and the local dive shop picked us up right there every day; a spectacular coral reef was just minutes away. We were given a cell phone upon arrival, programmed with phone numbers we might need. We were given wonderful advice of where we Must eat (Cal's) where we Must go (Little French Key), and were invited to join our hosts Jaw and Brigitta and their friends for karaoke night. (A blast!) The location was far from the crowds at West Bay and West End and afforded us the quiet and privacy we were seeking. I loved getting up at sunrise every morning and strolling the quiet grounds, taking pictures. We'll be back!!

"Awesome Vacation"
We are two couples in our mid fifties who stayed two weeks at Sea Pool Villas in March. We started planning our vacation in august. Brigitta answered all of our questions and provided a lot of helpful suggestions to assist in planning our vacation.
Sea Pool Villas - what a beautiful tropical home base for our exploration of Roatan. The grounds, the villa, and views from the decks were breathtaking. A favorite part of our day was having a cup of coffee on the deck looking out over the beautiful gardens and reef.
Brigitta and Jaw were gracious and accommodating hosts. Jaw was there to meet us at the airport and after picking up our rental four by four (absolutely required), he stayed with us while we bought provisions in French Harbour. Kayaks that we had arranged through Brigitta were waiting for us (two singles and a double).
A cell phone was provided to each couple with preprogrammed numbers for convenience. We explored Roatan from West Bay to Camp Bay and points in between. We went on two private snorkeling excursions; one to Pigeon Cay by speedboat (picked up at Sea Pool Villas at our private dock) and another along the south coast on a Catamaran. Our only regret was that we did not have a few more days to just stay put and enjoy Sea Pool Villas; I.e. kayaking, snorkeling and just enjoying cold drinks by the sea pool. It was one of our most memorable vacations.

"You must stay here!"
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We saw the raving reviews and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed. It was paradise!
Jaws and Brigitta were fabulous hosts. Jaws met us at the airport and we were able to follow him to the villa. They were a wealth of knowledge about the island and gave us many tips for places to go. They gave us a cell phone to use for the week and were only a phone call away, if you needed them. Otherwise, you didn't even know they were there.
The villa was amazing. Even better than the pictures! Everything was clean and well kept. The gardens were beautiful. The views were just stunning. We were able to kayak to the reef and snorkel--it was incredible.
The villa is located on a quiet part of the island, so plenty of quiet and relaxation. We rented a 4x4 vehicle (per the Wong's recommendation) and you need it. With the 4x4, we were easily able to explore all parts of the island.
We had a perfect honeymoon here. Thanks Jaws and Brigitta!!

"Just do it!"
I've stayed it See Pool Vila with my friends, a married couple. It's enough space at villa for any mix. It's an amazing place for a vocation! It's not just a beautiful house with a gorgeous ocean view! It's a great place for relaxation and physical activities as well. The place is very private and is gated. It has a European design inside and is very comfortable, functional, and clean. The sunrise and sunset views are amazing. But there no need to just spend time in the house. We visited many restaurants and clubs there. It's just 60 miles long! Thank my friends for seducing me to go there! Thank you Brigitta an Jaw for having such a great place!

"Awesome is an understatement!"
We just got back from our 1 week stay at Sea Pool and I can honestly say it was our best vacation in years. Jaw met us at the airport and took us to get our rental car and then we followed him to the house.
As soon as you enter the villa it will take your breath away. It has to be one of the most spectacular views in the entire Caribbean. The villa is spotlessly clean and has everything you need including very comfortable beds.
The grounds of the property are covered in flowers and tropical fruit trees with hummingbirds flying all around you.
We loved to sit on the large balcony with a drink and just stare at the waves breaking on the reef in front of the house. We took the kayak out to the reef and saw dozens of starfish and conch which you can reach down and touch. Some spots are so shallow you can get out of the kayak and the water will only be up to your knees.
This place is truly paradise and Jaw and Brigitta are the nicest people you will ever meet. Make sure that Jaw brings you bananas from the garden, they are delicious. Anything you want to know about the island just ask and they will help you.
If you think the photos are great, believe me, the photos don't do this villa justice. It exceeded all our expectations.
We are already planning to return next year.
Thanks Jaw and Brigitta for a spectacular vacation and we will see you next year.

"wonderful villa and great hosts"
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at the lovely Sea Pool Villas and could not have had a better time. Despite a bit of rainy weather, the views both inside and out are so spectacular you dont mind staying home and just taking it all in. Of course, we also got out and explored the island as well and the tips and advice they gave us was wonderful as well. The villa has a good location on the far prettier north side of the island - not far from the grocery store as well as some good local restaurants. Great views + great villa + great hosts = great trip! Hope we can make it back there and visit again - or perhaps have Brigitta and Jaw over for dinner at our own place should me make the plunge and invest in some real estate!

"Tropical Treasure"
Have visited the Caribbean several times but have never stayed at a better place! The attention to detail given by Jaw and Brigitta in creating this tropical treasure is second to none. The property is located in a very private area mid-island about 15 min from French Harbour, a good sized town where you can find anything you need. The road turning in to the property is long and bumpy so a 4 wheel drive is essential. However, once you get to the property, the road to paradise is forgotten. The Villa is absolutely beautiful! The pictures are not too good to be true and will exceed your expectations. A welcome basket with fresh fruit from the property and fresh flowers awaited us. The Villa is modern and being a clean freak, I must say, it was immaculate! The kitchen is supplied with everything you need. The shower is a work of art...absolutely awesome! There are 2 efficient air conditioners. You will only need to run one at a time...I promise! The balcony overlooks the turquoise water, exquisite gardens at every turn and is positioned perfectly to enjoy a unique sunset each evening. Once we arrived, we didn't really care if we ever left "home" or not. Jaw and Briggita are right next door and share a wealth of information about the area and are available and eager to help with anything you may need. For amazing snorkeling, arrange a kayak rental with Brigitta, pick a calm day, and kayak to the reef (better to the west of dock). For great swimming, we enjoyed the clear, sandy bottom areas between the dock and the reef. You can also swim right at the dock. The white sandy beach to the east of the property is nice for walking. Thank you Jaw, Brigitta and Melinda for your hospitality and for allowing us to stay in your beautiful Villa for a moment in time we'll never forget. Melinda, you were a great housemate! We enjoyed meeting you all and your great friends. We enjoyed our nights at The Palapa Bar, Stephanie's, and Gio's. We are looking forward to seeing you again! :)

"The prefect place for our family's scuba vacation."
Our family, with two kids (ages 13 and 10) are passionate travelers who love active holidays, natural beauty, and privacy. Sea Pool Villas house and gardens are immaculate and peaceful, and Brigitta and Jaw are amazing hosts. The villa is designed to beautifully accommodate a family of four with children who are mature and responsible enough to feel comfortable in their own space. We enjoyed cooking most meals in the lovely kitchen, and the balcony was perfect for eating and relaxing. Brigitta and Jaw work very hard designing and maintaining their garden and it shows. We saw a variety of creatures on the property. Lizards on the balcony, sticky-toed-frogs, hummingbirds, iguanas, leaf cutter ants... way cool stuff.
Brigitta arranged rental and delivery of sea kayaks for us so we could kayak to the reef and snorkel there. We saw pristine reef and tons of fish! It was incredible snorkeling and we had the place to ourselves. Loved it! We also kayaked to Turquoise Bay Resort once, which was a fun paddle.
We wanted to do a lot of diving on this trip and were thrilled with the service we received from Subway Dive Shop. They picked us up at Sea Pool Villas dock at no additional cost, and provided very personal, professional service. It's Roatan! The dives are awesome! Our daughter came on the boat with us and snorkeled with interns from Subway during most of our dives. She had a blast and learned so much!
If you decide to stay at Sea Pool Villas you do need a four wheel drive vehicle. Watch out for the crazy taxi drivers in towns! Don't forget to stock up on rum at Eldons. From the villa's beautiful private dock you can sip your beverage and enjoy a stunning sunset, or even a massage. Now when I need to go to a relaxing place in my mind, I think palapa massage... If you are independent travelers and relish natural beauty and quiet, you will love this place.

"Simply amazing - One of Our Best Vacations"
Our family of three had an absolutely amazing time. We loved the seclusion but enjoyed having Jaw and Brigitta nearby to assist and hang out with. Jaw met us at the airport so there was no issue getting from the airport to the villas. At our request we spent three nights together and had a blast including a memorable Karaoke Night! But if you are into snorkeling and/or diving this is the place. A 10 minute kayak from their private beach leads to an absolutely amazing reef. What's awesome is that it is really easy to control the dept such that you can stay in 6 - 10 ft waters with amazing coral and fish or venture off the edge of the reef where is drops 60 to 80 ft. The View is spectacular... pictures just don't do it justice and it's remarkable how few boats are ever out on the reef considering how spectacular it is. Also, the store is a little bit of a trek so we recommend you plan meals in adv if you plan to cook in. You can then pickup what you need on the way in from the airport. 2 things we didn't do was diving and golf... need to save something for next time. For a change of scenery there is a nice resort over the hill approx 10 min that had a nice man-made lagoon and beach bar which was fun for an afternoon or evening but always enjoyed being able to leave and head back to the villas. We look forward to going back in 2012!

Looking already forward to welcoming you back in 2012. Thank you Todd, Amy and Ellie for this wonderful review.

Our family vacations tend to be island oriented with an emphasis in relaxing, scuba diving and snorkeling. Well,if you are looking for a great place to do all 3, this is it. The accomodations are just spectacular! Everything is well maintained. You can tell the owners, Brigitta and Jaw take great pride in their villa. The seapool deck is a great place to relax and enjoy the sun.
Snorkeling to the west of the dock is good around dusk but the best is out by the reef. You definitley need a kayak to reach the reefs. Our dive and snorkeling trips were great. It can be arranged for the dive boat to pick you up right there on your dock. Very convenient.
This is the place to go if you are looking for quiet time, and avoiding the noise of "Resorts". You basically will not see anyone else walking the beachfront. Go and enjoy a great place on an island that still really hasn't been discovered!

"Amazing Beautiful Retreat..."
Cant say enough! We were immediately welcomed at the airport by Jaw and shown around various places and grocery stores. Upon entering the Villa we were welcomed with fresh home grown fruit from their beautiful garden...was delicious! Brigitta and Jaw have gone out of their way to make sure their guest are comfortable and knowledgeable about the island. We were given a cell phone with preset numbers which was a huge Plus! I cant say enough about the views. Outside the bedroom window you can see the ocean through the palms, looking out through the patio your view is amazing foliage of flowers and fruit trees all the way down to a private deck right on the ocean. The Villa was immaculate and completely furnished to make your stay comfortable. Ac units are fantastic and all rooms have great ceiling fans! Best of all...it was so relaxing and quiet. Like our own private getaway :)
This place will always hold a special spot in our hearts...We got engaged on this wonderful island...and our stay at the Villa more than completed the romance of our vacation.
Thank you again Brigitta and Jaw. You have outdone yourself creating a place of serenity and beauty for people to enjoy!

We are so happy that your stay at our Villa will always have a special romantic memory. As always, we will keep trying to provide the best for our guest. It is always rewarding to receive such great reviews and we will be improving on small details. Thank you Stephanie.
"Beautiful Villa"
First I would like to tell everyone that is interested in staying here, This is an absolutely beautiful villa. Inside and out. The Home is actually better than the pictures and no other guests can stay so you have the place to yourself. You either come with 2 people or 4. If you are visiting with 2 others, you may never even see them thanks to the layout. Brigitta and Jaw give you everything you need when you arrive there. We even got a nice fruit basket of items grown there in their beautiful Caribbean garden. I cant stress how nice this villa is.
If you dive, they have an agreement with Subway Dive shop, and they pick you up on your dock at whatever time you tell Subway to come. Sidenote: Subway is a great group of people and we have made friends for life there .
The biggest drawback, which may be a positive, is that it is at least 15 minutes from anything. While this makes it safer to me since the island has questionable crime areas. A drive to West End (the bar district) is 45 minutes by car. There is one road and it is the most winding road you can imagine. You are 15 mins from 2 good grocery stores which Jaw shows you where they are on the way from the airport.
Brigitta and Jaw are super good people and do there best to make sure you are taken care of.

"Luxurious and Private Beachfront Villa: Easy, Lazy diving!"
We stayed at Sea-Pool Villas at the end of May 2011 for our 10th anniversary and were very pleased with the arrangements from beginning to end. Jaw met us at the airport as expected, helped us with our rental vehicle, took us to the local supermarket and guided us to the villa. The house is perfectly situated on a natural Honduras beachfront with a spectacular view. It is beautifully decorated with great pride and was very comfortable, secluded, clean and safe. The beach is nice and natural, but don't expect a large, resort style artificial setting, it is the real deal. We maybe saw 2 other people walking by on the beach the whole week, which was nice. There are nice, permanent palapas with padded chairs for lounging. Jaw and Brigitta were very helpful with any arrangements we needed, but were still respectful of our privacy. They stay on the property so they are easily accessible for any questions you may have. Diving couldn't have been easier. Brigitta arranged for Subway diver's to pick us up on the private dock each morning and drop us off when we were finished for the day. It was very convenient. Subway diver's (who were wonderful/highly recommend) is only a couple minute boat ride the Villa. Depending on who you ask, the diving is supposedly better on the East end since it's not as overrun with divers. The reef was beautiful and there was a variety of options from wreck dives to cave dives, etc without any long boat rides. Brigitta also arranged for a kayak rental for the week, which was delivered to the house for our personal use. The house is located toward the Eastern end of the island, so it is far enough away from West Bay to be peaceful, but close enough that you can reach it in a 30 minutes or so drive on 95% paved roads. If you are looking for the party scene, which we weren't, you may want to stay closer to west end. If you're going to Honduras and want to dive or just hang out, Sea Pool Villas is an excellent place to get away with no worries!

We are very happy that you chose Sea Pool Villas to celebrate your 10th anniversary. We have tried very hard to make our rental Villa feel like home where all our guests can just relax and reminisce of the days events. Thank you Marissa and Aaron for your nice review and we hope to be able to accommodate you again in the near future.

"Amazing villa and relaxation"
We arrived in Roatan with Jaw meeting us at the airport and assisting with our Ecno Car Rental and leading us to SeaPool Villas. Once at SeaPool Villas, we were greeted warmly by Brigitta and were astounded by the amazing view and lush vegetation surrounding us. The pictures do not do this resort justice. SeaPool Villas is a first class luxary resort with top of the line appliances and furnishings. The bed was dreamy and the shower to die for. We sipped glasses of wine gazing at our unobstructed views of the scarlet skies as the sun went down. Jaw and Brigitta were gracious hosts and made us feel like friends and family, being sure that our every need was met including fresh bananas and coconuts from their very own garden...wow. Privacy was not an issue as we had the entire villa to ourselves with our own private dock and beach. Snorkeling was great with coral reefs just off the dock, the waters crystal clear and warm. This was our 2nd visit to Roatan and we had stayed at a much more expensive resort previously, however, we find Seapool Villas to be far superior in both accomodation and creature comforts. If you have any doubts with booking at SeaPool Villas, rest assured, you will not be dissappointed. Thanks Brigitta and Jaw for an unforgetable 3 week vacation. John and ann

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your stay at our Villa.
It was our pleasure to offer you our Sea Pool Villas hospitality. We are very happy that you enjoyed your 3 week vacation on this beautiful island and your stay at our Villa was above expectation. Thank you Ann and John for this fantastic review! We are looking forward to welcome you again at Sea Pool Villas one of these days!
The Perfect Spot
We just returned from our trip to Sea Pool Villas and we are already planning a return trip. This is the best spot on the Island. The views are spectacular and the accomodations are first class. The villa was spotless, beautifully decorated, air conditioned, and had very comfy beds. It was far enough away from the West End to be private, but close enough to be able to get anywhere quickly. We kayaked, snorkled, and swam right in front of the house, and there were beautiful coral reefs just feet from the shore. The best part, however, was meeting the owners. They were the extremely gracious hosts and helped us have the best Roatan experience. We know we will remain friends for a long time. We will not stay anywhere else and are recommending Sea Pool Villas to all our friends.
Owner response: Thank you Cary and Carolyn for this fantastic review. It was a real pleasure having you both as our guests at Sea Pool Villas and we are pleased that you had such an enjoyable and unforgettable vacation. We'd love to host you and all your friends anytime at Sea Pool Villas. Looking forward to welcome you again in Roatan on your next vacation.
""peace of Paradise""
Upon immediately arriving at this sea side paradise you open the door and are amazed at the luxury of this home. Tall ceilings and beautiful island decor' greets you. Large windows that surround the home allows breathtaking views of the lush tropical gardens or of the turquoise sea from almost every room. The large stone shower is amazing. Magnificent scenery is all around, Hummingbirds flutter all around the colorful foliage in the tropical gardens. Brigitta & Jaw have put their heart and soul into this house and it shows in every detail. The large deck surrounds the beautiful sea pool and all you can think is that you have died and gone to heaven!!! There is nothing like the Caribbean breeze that caresses your skin. Brigitta & Jaw took care of everything and even met us at the airport. They are the most awesome host. Come experience this Caribbean paradise, you won't be disappointed!!! We can't wait to come again!!!.

"Better than advertised, perfect in every way!"
SeaPool Villas is a lovely home with beautiful grounds, entrancing views, gorgeous sunsets and fabulous star gazing (very little light pollution). We (2 couples) stayed there for 2 weeks, 2/19-03/05 2011. The home is somewhat but not too, remote. You will rarely, if ever see anyone on the beach. The cruise ship crowd will never find you. It affords great privacy but with our rental car restaurants, grocery, etc. are easily accessible. The kitchen is well supplied and sufficient for most meal preps. The bed and bath rooms are virtually identical, well appointed and very comfortable. The owners live nearby on the property and will be around as much or as little as you like. They are a tremendous resource, are eager to please and ensure that you enjoy your stay. They met us at the airport, assisted with our car rental, took us to the grocery store, gave us a map and a quick island preview. You'll have your own private dock and Pilapas (the tiki hut looking things). Snorkeling is good for the novice around the dock area with shallow depths and a few coral heads to the left. For the more hard core snorkeler rent kayaks and go out to just inside the reef to deeper walls of coral. If you go out to the reef at low tide you can find sandy spots to stand in with depths less than 4 feet. Highly recommend you have the owner rent the kayaks for you in advance of your arrival to be assured availability of good kayaks. Make sure you go to the Sunday all the Lobster & Filet you can eat brunch at Hole-in-the-Wall. If you want to meet some of the ex-pats who live on Roatan, ask the owners about Mi Gatos. We have rented a lot of places in the Caribbean over the years and you'd be hard put to find better. We highly recommend SeaPool Villas and will definitely be back.

"Our Caribbean Paradise"
Having traveled to many of the Islands in the Caribbean, we have found Sea Pool Villas to be, without a doubt, our favorite destination.
The owners, Brigitta and Jaw, are two of the nicest people we have ever met. Starting off with Jaw meeting us at the airport and guiding us to our rental car and then to the grocery store. We found the location of Sea Pool Villas to be close enough to the essentials and yet far enough away not to be bourdon by them. If needed, Brigitta and Jaw can make arrangements from diving to dinning with just about anything in between.
We met Brigitta at the Villa and she settled us into our little slice of heaven.
Upon arriving at the Villa and opening the front door, the view absolutely took our breath away! From the well-manicured landscaping, to the Turquoise waters, Sea Pool Villas is absolutely beautiful.
The well-kept Villa has a new modern kitchen and bath with an absolutely fantastic shower! The king size bed was so comfortable with the Caribbean breezes at night. The view from the deck, which is where we dined the most, was phenomenal from sunrise to the gorges sunsets every night.
There is great snorkeling amongst the corral reefs just off the private dock. Additional snorkeling can be had with just a short kayak ride to the reef. Brigitta can make the necessary arrangements for a kayak. Also as we did, one can just lie out on the nice deck furniture after snorkeling and soak up the sun next to the Palapa's with fresh coconuts from their garden that were prepared by Javier.
Initially we planned a week long vacation, but with Brigitta and Jaw being such gracious host and Sea pool Villas such a Caribbean Paradise, we extended our stay longer. We were having such a great time that we did not want to leave. We highly recommend Sea Pool Villas as "the" place to stay in Roatan. We most definitely will be back!

Read an Excerpt
Which door represents your code? Which door represents your team or your company? Why are we in that room? Is this just a normal code review or have we found a stream of horrible problems shortly after going live? Are we debugging in a panic, poring over code that we thought worked? Are customers leaving in droves and managers breathing down our necks? How can we make sure we wind up behind the right door when the going gets tough? The answer is: craftsmanship.
There are two parts to learning craftsmanship: knowledge and work. You must gain the knowledge of principles, patterns, practices, and heuristics that a craftsman knows, and you must also grind that knowledge into your fingers, eyes, and gut by working hard and practicing.
I can teach you the physics of riding a bicycle. Indeed, the classical mathematics is relatively straightforward. Gravity, friction, angular momentum, center of mass, and so forth, can be demonstrated with less than a page full of equations. Given those formulae I could prove to you that bicycle riding is practical and give you all the knowledge you needed to make it work. And you'd still fall down the first time you climbed on that bike.
Coding is no different. We could write down all the "feel good" principles of clean code and then trust you to do the work (in other words, let you fall down when you get on the bike), but then what kind of teachers would that make us, and what kind of student would that make you?
No. That's not the way this book is going to work.
Learning to write clean code is hard work. It requires more than just the knowledge of principles and patterns. You must sweat over it. You must practice it yourself,and watch yourself fail. You must watch others practice it and fail. You must see them stumble and retrace their steps. You must see them agonize over decisions and see the price they pay for making those decisions the wrong way.
Be prepared to work hard while reading this book. This is not a "feel good" book that you can read on an airplane and finish before you land. This book will make you work, and work hard. What kind of work will you be doing? You'll be reading codelots of code. And you will be challenged to think about what's right about that code and what's wrong with it. You'll be asked to follow along as we take modules apart and put them back together again. This will take time and effort; but we think it will be worth it.
We have divided this book into three parts. The first several chapters describe the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code. There is quite a bit of code in these chapters, and they will be challenging to read. They'll prepare you for the second section to come. If you put the book down after reading the first section, good luck to you!
The second part of the book is the harder work. It consists of several case studies of ever-increasing complexity. Each case study is an exercise in cleaning up some codeof transforming code that has some problems into code that has fewer problems. The detail in this section is intense. You will have to flip back and forth between the narrative and the code listings. You will have to analyze and understand the code we are working with and walk through our reasoning for making each change we make. Set aside some time because this should take you days.
The third part of this book is the payoff. It is a single chapter containing a list of heuristics and smells gathered while creating the case studies. As we walked through and cleaned up the code in the case studies, we documented every reason for our actions as a heuristic or smell. We tried to understand our own reactions to the code we were reading and changing, and worked hard to capture why we felt what we felt and did what we did. The result is a knowledge base that desribes the way we think when we write, read, and clean code.
This knowledge base is of limited value if you don't do the work of carefully reading through the case studies in the second part of this book. In those case studies we have carefully annotated each change we made with forward references to the heuristics. These forward references appear in square brackets like this: H22. This lets you see the context in which those heuristics were applied and written! It is not the heuristics themselves that are so valuable, it is the relationship between those heuristics and the discrete decisions we made while cleaning up the code in the case studies.
To further help you with those relationships, we have placed a cross-reference at the end of the book that shows the page number for every forward reference. You can use it to look up each place where a certain heuristic was applied.
If you read the first and third sections and skip over the case studies, then you will have read yet another "feel good" book about writing good software. But if you take the time to work through the case studies, following every tiny step, every minute decisionif you put yourself in our place, and force yourself to think along the same paths that we thought, then you will gain a much richer understanding of those principles, patterns, practices, and heuristics. They won't be "feel good" knowledge any more. They'll have been ground into your gut, fingers, and heart. They'll have become part of you in the same way that a bicycle becomes an extension of your will when you have mastered how to ride it.

Crazy IMO that anyone wouldn't be interested in this fight.
11/9/12 9:53 PM by ufc98newb
I don't know about that. Rampage has an extremely strong base, and imo is harder to take down than henderson. I think Machida takes Henderson down whenever he wants, if he wants.
11/9/12 9:12 PM by burner22
I think so too, but rampage beat machida( at least in the judges eyes) by clinching and pushing him around him a bit. And hendos clinch game is better than rampages, so I wouldn't write him off completely. Is this headlining a card? In a 5 round fight hendos chances lessen
11/9/12 8:44 PM by Goderson Silva
If it was I would bet on Machida winning by TKO late rds.

This isn't a true story: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2012/sep/03/no-apple-bruce-willis
I believe the chances of success are low, even though I believe that justice is on the side of the user:
Copyright extends 70 years after death of the author, (and the works become "free" afterwards).
Thus a customer should rightfully expect that a usage time of the bought or licensed or sham-licensed intellectual property, which - from my point of view, in terms of consistency of law - is then also intellectual property of the new/additional proprietor created by whatever contract - is at least said "own life plus 70 years" period. As at that time the works are "free" any limitation to the right of use after that point in time would be unjust as well.
Also I've never seen an express time limit in these "licenses", thus I think it's fair to say that they are to be deemed perpetual. And "lifetime of a user" is a time limit.
When the rights holders want to impose limits on the time of use they should be explicit and not implicit. Everything else is just a contract offered in bad faith.
From the "asymmetric contract in bad faith" perspective a plausible outcome could be to reverse the contract, i.e. "Bruce receives his money back but has to give back or delete the music.
Maybe it's time for legislation to clarify things in favour of the general public.
The story is a hoax. See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2012/sep/03/no-apple-bruce-willis

San Angelo-area news in brief, 10/4
Repaving project to affect traffic
Traffic on four San Angelo streets could be reduced to one lane when the city begins repaving it as part of a street reconstruction project that begins Monday.
Local contracting company Reece Albert will perform the mill and overlay work, slated to be complete by the end of October, according to a city news release. Streets will not be closed during the work, but flaggers could control the traffic flow and reduce it to one lane.
The city urges drivers to use caution in the construction zones and expect delays.
Streets involved in the project are:
Main Street from the Houston Harte Expressway to 18th Street.
14th Street from Main to Chadbourne streets.
Oakes Street from 14th to 11th streets.
19th Street from U.S. Highway 87 west to the railroad tracks.
The $1.3 million project involves grinding and removing the top 2 inches of asphalt and replacing it with new asphalt to extend the life of the roadway's surface and make the roadway smoother for travel.
Last month, the city completed seal-coating designated streets around the city.
Rio Vista Park to be rededicated
Rio Vista Park will be rededicated as Padron Park at 10 a.m. Saturday. The new name is in honor of Jaime Padron, a former San Angelo police officer who died in the line of duty while working for the Austin Police Department in April 2012.
The park, at 2750 Ben Ficklin Road, has new playground equipment, including separate play areas for children ages 2-5 and 6-12.
Padron's family, police officers and city officials will speak at the event, followed by a balloon release. Officers will showcase different units for the public. Food and drinks will be provided.
Public's help sought to ID suspect
San Angelo police are seeking the public's help identifying a man who allegedly used a stolen bank card for a purchase at the Stripes Convenience Store on 1821 N. Bryant Blvd. shortly after midnight Sept. 19, according to an SAPD news release.
Images taken from surveillance footage, which were sent out with the release Thursday afternoon, showed a white man wearing black shorts that hung below the knees, a loose white T-shirt and a black cap.
The surveillance footage can be viewed at youtu.be/YhHl7etuIoo.
