Cabin on Coffee Farm w/ HorsesCosta Rica, Alajuela, Piedades Sur

Included in the nightly price.
The Space
This is a two acre property with a forested coffee farm. Our house is the only house on the property and is surrounded by wildlife. There are hundreds of different fruit producing trees such as plantains, bananas, guayabas, and of course coffee. The house is two stories.
The first floor has one bedroom with a full bed, one full bath, a kitchen, a small kitchen table with four chairs, and three sofas in the living room. The kitchen has silverware for 8, mugs, dishes, pots, pans, coffee maker, and a fridge.
The second story is completely open except the full bathroom that has a hot water heater. In the open space are two full beds and one twin bed. There is also ample space for air matresses and sleeping bags.
The patio and surrounding areas has a wood burning stove, two hammocks, two rocking chairs, and a picnic table.
The property has great views of the central valley and amazing sunrises.
Guest Access
You are free to explore the property, feed & pet the horses, and pick & eat any fruit that's ripe. There are tons of birds that call the property home as well as a two toed sloth that likes to hang out in the big tree on the patio, so we ask that you respect the wildlife.
Interaction with Guests
My aunt and uncle live about a kilometer away and manage the property as well as any horseback riding tours. Also, the neighbors are very friendly.
The Neighborhood
There is a pulperia (a small convenience store) about 500 meters away where you can buy your basic goods, and a woman about 700 meters away who sells fresh milk, homemade cheese, and sour cream. There is a Catholic church about 400 meters away if you're interested in attending mass with the local farmers.
La Guaria is town 15 minutes away be horse, and it has a small bar, restaurant, & other amenities. There is a nice tilapia farm nearby where you can catch tilapia, and they prepare your tilapia for you in the restaurant.
A 20 minute walk away will bring you to the highest point of the mountain range where you can see the coast. If you are interested, my uncle can take you on a 30 minute horse ride to a beautiful waterfall that is a local watering hole for monkeys and birds.
If you want to truly indulge in nature and escape from civilization, this is the place for you. We are on one of the tallest mountains in Costa Rica in a friendly neighborhood of coffee farmers. I cherish my time there to reconnect with nature.
Getting Around
I have uploaded the exact GPS coordinates from Maps, so you should be able to drive there. The last few kilometers can be difficult as it is a dirt road with steep rises.
It is very easy to get there by public transportation even though Piedades Sur is high in the mountains surrounded by nature.
Take the bus from San Ramon to Piedades Sur. Once you arrive at Piedades Sur, ask if that bus is continuing to La Guaria. If it is going to La Guaria, ask to be let off near the entrance to the road to the homes of Wilbert Fernandez Gonzalez, Majella, Don Adan, and the church. The bus driver will understand these directions and know where these people live. Follow that dirt road on foot for one kilometer until you reach the property.
Other Things to Note
You will need to bring shampoo, soap, toilet paper, garbage bags, food, etc. This can all be bought at the convenience store about 500 meters away.
We expect you to leave the property as you found it and respect the horses & wild animals you may encounter.
About the Host, Peter And Krista
I grew up living between Chicago during the school year and Costa Rica during the breaks (The benefits of having both parents employed as teachers with summers off). I loved experiencing it as a child, teenager, college student and whatever label I am now. In all honesty, being able to experience the urban and rural through the different perspectives of age, responsibilities, interests, and groups of friends really expanded my knowledge of and interest in Chicago, Costa Rica, and the world in general. I like to think of myself as an aged local historian in training, trying to accumulate as much knowledge as humanly possible through first hand experience and people's stories. I am a huge fan of swapping travel stories over local ale and cherish getting local insider tips about anywhere I'm traveling to. If you stay with us, I will be sure to dish on all the great hidden gems Chicago or Costa Rica have to offer.
I like to take visiting friends to the Art Institute, a concert in Millennium Park, or simply a walk around the river. If I'm available, I have a few memberships to local museums so I'll probably be able to take you as guests and access members only exhibits.
I'm a foodie and have been to over 200 restaurants in Chicago. I love it all. From the $2 tacos in Pilsen to the $200 dinner in the Fulton River District/West Town, I appreciate Chicago's unique culinary style. Feel free to ask for any recommendations, I love an excuse to share my passion for Chicago.

Re: New Honda 2.3 outboard not running
I have the same issue with a 2013 2.3 that is 3 months old. Used 3 times, not even out of break-in yet. Sat for about 1 month upright in my garage. Now, full choke is required to start it each time. Then it will only run on about 1/3 choke. Note that the choke does not stay where you put it either so you can't actually use it like that. Gas had ethanol treatment in it.
As for ethanol being to blame, I think mfrs should be able to make a product that functions on the fuels available rather than make a product for which there is no correct fuel in existence. I mean, ethanol is not exactly new and I have no other motors, from my weed whacker to my lawn tractor, etc. that have had any ethanol related problems after years of ethanol use without even an additive. I am sorry, but I don't fall for this blame game and so not only is this my first Honda product, it is my last. Thanks to the tech for supplying the diagrams though so maybe I can try to get mine running and sell it next season.

Starting in March Dwelltime will offer Woodneck Wednesdays between 10am-2pm! All proceeds made will be donated to El Xalum in Guatemala in an effort to kick-start their farm revitalization projects.
If you haven't had a woodneck before, you are in for a treat! The woodneck is our favorite pourover brewer. Rather than using a paper filter, the woodneck uses a cloth filter suspended by a wire hoop in the carafe. Paper filters have a taste that you can minimize, but never entirely eliminate; a well-cared for cloth filter produces the same very clean, well filtered cup but with a juicier, paper-free taste. Cloth filters take a little bit of extra care in cleaning and storing, but the extra 60 seconds it'll take to care for is well worth it. Cloth filters use depth filtration — similar to how a felt pad would filter as opposed to a thin paper filter — allowing fines (very small coffee particles) to get captured in the layers of the fabric, rather than getting caught up against the surface of a filter and restricting flow. Additionally, unlike paper filters, cloth filters allow oils to pass through easier. This combination gives you cups that have a heavier mouthfeel, while still having great flavor clarity.

Robert Pattinson Keeps His Eclipse Pals Close at the Teen Choice Awards
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Robert Pattinson was in the front row at this evening's Teen Choice Awards in LA. He sat next to his Eclipse costars Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene, who stunned on the blue carpet on her way into the show. He later took the stage to accept his Choice Drama Movie Actor surfboard. Rob looked casual in his button-down, in a change from the formal wear he's sported recently while working on Water For Elephants. He's back in California after a trip to the South, where he worked on his latest movie. Rob was finally able to steal some time away from the set, and you were really looking forward to his special evening appearance.

Reviewer: Diane, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)
Ease of Use
I have been struggling with dry eyes for several years and had tried just about every treatment imaginable (artificial tears, patanol, steroid drops, punctal plugs). Nothing had worked. My eye doctor finally suggested that I try Restasis. He cautioned me that it was expensive, a long-term commitment, and would take a while to become effective. I have been using the medicine for over three months a ... Show Full Comment

Reviewer: JenH, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)
Ease of Use
I was hesitant to start using Restasis after reading the reviews here. However, I was very desperate, suffering from severe dry eye, corneal scarring/dry spots, and ocular rosacea. My eyes were just giving me too much trouble and I was using high-end lubricant eye drops, compresses daily, fish oil pills, and consuming a lot of water. I was doing all I could to avoid Restasis. At the end of my rope ... Show Full Comment
Reviewer: juju999spirit, 55-64 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)
Ease of Use
Since I started to use Restasis on Feb. 5th, I have not needed eye drops during the day to wet my contacts, and my eyes do not burn by the end of the day. It's like a miracle - it doesn't even sting when I put the drops in my eyes .... I'm one of the lucky one :)
Reviewer: itchy eyes, 65-74 Female on Treatment for 6 months to less than 1 year (Patient)
Ease of Use
Didn't know I had dry eye until I was examined by my optometrist. Since using Restasis, my eyes feel dry, itchy, like I have sand in my eyes...in fact they feel worse than before I started using this product. My new Ophthalmologist recent suggested that I put Systane ointment in my eyes just prior to going to bed...to seal what she believes is a slit between my upper and lower eyelids (they ...

Reviewer: Kris , 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)
Ease of Use
My eyes were so dry before I started Restasis, that I often came home from work and would just sit on the couch with my eyes closed because they would hurt so bad. They always felt so tired even though I was putting in eye drops almost every hour. I started Restasis 3 weeks ago and in the last few days, I'm noticing my eyes feel much better! I never had any burning from the drops like other u ... Show Full Comment

Digital preservation is the active management of digital information over time to ensure its accessibility. Preservation of digital information is widely considered to require more constant and ongoing attention than preservation of other media. This constant input of effort, time, and money to handle rapid technological and organizational advance is considered a major stumbling block for preserving digital information. Indeed, while we are still able to read our written heritage from several thousand years ago, the digital information created merely a decade ago is in serious danger of being lost, creating a digital Dark Age.

ISU's Gentile Addresses Multiple Dimensions Of Video Game Effects In New Journal Article
Douglas Gentile is painfully aware of how research on the effects of video games on kids is often oversimplified to say that games are either "good" or "bad." The associate professor of psychology at Iowa State University has had his own research typecast on the "bad" side with studies on violent video game's effects and video game addiction, even though he's also done studies demonstrating the benefits of games.
A new article by Gentile appearing in the journal Child Development Perspectives argues that existing video game literature can't be classified in black and white terms. Instead, there's a vast grey area when considering the multiple dimensions of video game effects on children and adolescents.
Gentile writes that there are at least five dimensions on which video games can affect players simultaneously — amount of play, content of play, game context, structure of the game, and the mechanics of game play.
"Parents tend to care about either how much time their kids play or what types of games their kids play," Gentile said. "But when I did a study where the effects couldn't be explained by the amount someone played or the content of the game, it made me realize there's a lot more going on here. And in puzzling through what that more was, I realized there are at least five dimensions on which games have effects."
Referencing the video game literature
In his article, which was posted online first by the journal Tuesday, Gentile references some of the most cited literature documenting video game effects in the five dimensions.
Many studies have found associations between the amount of game play and several negative outcomes, Gentile said. But he contends it's likely that some of those outcomes — such as findings that kids who spend more time playing video games typically experience poorer grades — may not be due exclusively to the amount of play.
"It is possible to argue that this relation might be due to the children themselves, rather than to game time," Gentile reports. "It is likely that children who perform more poorly at school are likely to spend more time playing games, where they may feel a sense of mastery that eludes them at school. Nonetheless, every hour playing games is one not spent doing homework."
While Gentile writes that there is no standard definition of "content," most definitions focus on the "script" elements or themes of the game. And previous research has found it is clear that children learn game content, and that learning can affect future behaviors. "This is how violent, prosocial, or educational games have most of their documented effects," Gentile said.
The least researched dimension of game effects, according to Gentile, is how the game context alters or creates effects.
"It could be that as you play a violent game with a group of your friends, that context increases the aggression affect because you're getting social support from people you care about for being aggressive in the game," he said. "Or it might be that context might have a teamwork motivation and prosocial orientation that you're trying to help your team — which negates the aggression affect."
The way a game is structured on the screen (to provide meaningful information to the player) also changes the psychological meaning of the content Gentile writes. This is the level at which games cause improvements to visual attention skills.
And game mechanics — or the type of controller a video game requires — could increase fine motor skills (such as with a thumb controller), gross motor skills (swinging the Wii remote like a baseball bat), or even balancing skills (with the Wii balance board), according to Gentile.
Positive and negative at the same time
By considering all these dimensions, he concludes that the same game can have both perceived positive and negative effects on players.
"There are several benefits to this approach," Gentile said. "One is that it gets us past the dichotomous thinking that games are 'good' or 'bad.'
"It also gives us testable hypotheses, and that's good for science," he continued. "And it also tells a game designer that if you're looking to design a game for maximum impact, you need to focus on these five dimensions."
Gentile is currently working on a study involving "The Beatles: Rock Band"© that looks at three dimensions — structure, mechanics and content — independently.

I was talking to a buddy of mine about surfing Sunset (that is Los Angeles' Sunset, not Hawaii's Sunset) and I said that I wished there was a Sunset web cam available so I could check it out before I drove over. He looked at me like I was from Mars and then told me that there was a Sunset cam available on SwellMagnet.com and a year subscription was only $30 - and on top of that you can get a month for free just by sending in an email to them. That was a no brainer.
Swellmagnet has cams for: Malibu, Topanga, Sunset, Santa Monica (the only site I have seen with a cam for SM as well), Venice, El Porto, Manhattan Beach Pier, Torrance, Newport, and Huntington Beach. The cams are pretty good.
In addition to the cams there are also daily surf reports posted for each of the locations mentioned above as well as Zuma and County Line. The surf reports are pretty key in my surfing destination planning. The reports come in generally about 6:30 am and that is early enough I can take a peak at the cam and report and then select a destination.
On top of all of that, if I ever have a question I can email it in and a person actually responds with an answer and I'm pretty sure that person is the owner of the site. Gotta love and support small companies!
Now I have also used Surfine.com, which was written up by @TeamAWAC. I like Surfline and they have some great articles on the site in addition to their web cams and surf reports. At $70/year subscription price it just seems pretty darn expensive in comparison.
So, here is the bottom line for me - free 30 day trial (check),web cams in the spots that I need them to be (check), first hand surf reports delivered to me every day of the week (check), and a SCREAMING low price at $30 per year for the subscription (check). Add that all up and it is a winner!
Additionally, when I signed up their was a bonus at sign up of a copy of the DVD Urban Runoff 2. The video is cool, it was shot in and around LA so it was fun to see some local surfers at the same places I surf. I'm not sure how long they will be throwing in the freebie.

My guess is that this game is intended to attract parents to buy the console for their kids, as this is a kids game only unless, and I quote: "you are a retard with an 11year's old brain". For that, Fusion Frenzy isn't really on my must have list.

While other cities like Philadelphia and Cleveland have to be content with one Cosa Nostra family, the Big Apple has five, and their rivalries and collective strength have fueled the epic crime tales which gave New York its reputation as the Mob town. New York's crime families pretty much ran the city from the 1930s through the 1970s, using a wide network of industrial racketeering involving key business sectors such as the garment trade, construction, waste carting, shipping, food preparation, and entertainment. (Delay, caused by a Mob-instigated union slowdown, is fatal in each of these businesses. The price of this criminal extortion was passed along as a "Mob tax" to consumers.) Of course, these legitimate profit centers were more than supplemented by traditional activities like gambling, prostitution, drugs, and loan sharking.
In the city's economic life, the Mafia functioned as a shadow government or "rationalizing force." As Jacobs points out, many upper-world businesses welcomed Cosa Nostra participation because they "received protection against competitors . . . license to fix prices, allocate contracts, and treat their customers like property." Although fear motivated many to cooperate, Jacobs undermines one myth by noting "we have uncovered relatively few incidents of serious bodily harm exacted against legitimate businessmen." Instead, he suggests, it was the Mob's entrepreneurial energy as well as its restraintCosa Nostra was content to "wet its beak" rather than take over whole industries as it surely could havethat made it an irresistible force. As a result of this economic muscle, ties to city government were particularly strong in the 1940s and 1950stwo mayors, William O'Dwyer and Vincent Impellitteri, were accused of having Mob connections. In short, New York City was the Rome of the Mafia empire.
At least until a certain paisan took on gangland. Although Jacobs warns it's "dangerous to personalize history," the inescapable conclusion from his account is that Rudolph Giuliani, as a federal prosecutor (1981 - 1989) and as mayor (since 1992), is principally responsible for the Mob's near demise as an industrial racketeering force in New York. As a U.S. attorney, Giuliani skillfully deployed RICO (the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), which made it possible to bring to a single trial whole crime families. As mayor, Giuliani has introduced vigorous and innovative regulation to Mob-dominated locales like the Fulton Fish Market, the Javits Convention Center, JFK airport (the Mob's "candy store"), and the garment district. His near-obsessional pursuit over nearly two decades has succeeded in, as Jacobs puts it, liberating the city from "the clutches of Cosa Nostra."
The strong-arm mayor had considerable help. Advances in electronic surveillance technology, along with looser court standards for authorizing wiretaps, made it possible for cops and FBI agents to amass tens of thousands of hours of Mob talk. Also, the 1970 federal law establishing the Witness Protection program was crucial in eroding the Mafia's code of silence, omerta, and by the 1980s high-ranking mobsters, like Sammy "Bull" Gravano, were bringing down their superiors with damning testimony. With so many top bosses in prisonJohn Gotti, Vincent "Chin" Gigantethe families have been left to rely on younger, less streetwise capos. John Gotti's son, John Jr., the nominal head of the once powerful Gambino family, recently agreed to a plea bargaina surrender which, prison tapes reveal, enraged his combative father.
With the Mafia's golden era now passed, nostalgia (as evidenced by shows like The Sopranos) is taking hold, and even a scholar like Jacobs can seem wistful: "Cosa Nostra stands apart. No other organized-crime group has shown anything resembling the business sophistication and acumen." Even as we read of the savings obtained as greedy mobsters are driven from unions and businessesfish prices 13 percent lower, the cost of shipping a pair of jeans has dropped from 40 cents to 15 centsit's hard not to feel such a paltry "Mob tax" was well worth its entertainment value. The tale of Carlo Gambino, the boss of bosses, sitting in a storefront in Little Italy doling out favors to residents who lined up around the block, stirs in us daydreams of unlimited power and prestige, but when his successor, John Gotti Jr., had to put up his own house as collateral for bail, we are merely reminded of our own unpaid bills. Gotham Unbound charts this morally salutary decline and permits us to make up our mindsIs a quarter extra for your pants too much to pay for the Mafia fantasy in which you never have to say you're sorry?

"Supposedly" with old wives tales, the first batches of Colt M1917 had .45LC cylinders and the rounds would fall all the way in. Note that I said "supposedly". I've never seen it in any Colt M1917 that I came across, including my own. Yes, they're headspaced at the case mouth and you can safely shoot, just that no extraction unless the rounds slide out - of which they do until the charge holes get too dirty then they'd start sticking. By then you either need to use moon clips or carry a pen/pencil and start poking out the casings.

Keywords: Maui, Oceanfront, views, Maalaea, value
Gary and Glenda reside in California and have always enjoyed vacationing in Maui. We wish to share this incredible oceanfront property with you, please come experience the calming 'Aloha Spirit' at this beautiful location. Mahalo!
Gary Fish purchased this condo in 2010
Maui is our favorite Hawaiian island and Maalaea is the most centrally located oceanfront place on the island. Located 10 miles from the airport, 15 miles from Lahaina and 12 miles from Makena. This condo is less than 100 feet from the water with beautiful views of Maalaea bay and Hakeakala from inside the unit and even more spectacular from the lanai.
"Amazing Oceanfront Condo close enough to see the turtles!!"
I live here on Maui and chose this wonderful Unit for my best friend who came from California to visit. The Condo was beautifully decorated and well equipped with all of the needed items to make our stay comforable, even down to the beach towels! Everything in this Unit has been upgraded and the location of this downstairs Unit for the views was just perfect!! We were able to walk out to this amazing grassy area thats about ten feet from the ocean and watched the turtles in the morning and evening as the popped their heads out to say "Aloha". I would hightly recommend anyone wanting a relaxing stay on Maui to stay here. As a resident of Maui, I will definately spend my "mini vacations" away from home back here at this Unit.
This was a lovely condo! beautifully kept grounds, serene atmosphere and watched whales out of our window! We spent 2 weeks in this unit and loved every minute of it. We rented a car and toured the island at a leisurely pace and were awed by its beauty. Friend ask why we like Hawaii and we tell them to just go because it's better to see it than it is to describe it. It's Paradise...
Thanks to Gary and Glenda Fish for all the information prior to our visit and if we ever get the chance to go back we will stay here.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat! This was our second trip to Maui, but the first time was on a cruise ship, so we didn't really get a good feel for the island. I came across this rental on homeaway.com. The condo was available over Christmas and was within our budget. The owner could not have been nicer and answered all of my questions promptly and thoroughly. I had a friend who was in Maui shortly before we arrived, and the owner arranged for a neighbor to hold onto a Christmas gift until our arrival. The place was just as listed on the website and was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had just about every utensil and appliance you could want. My only regret is that in our 8 day vacation we never made it to the pool once, we were too busy out and about exploring Maui. Ahhhh, next time! Thank you for helping to make our vacation very memorable, and I hope to be back. Mahalo!
This condo rental was really beautiful and amazing. It made our trip to Maui that much more enjoyable. Like the other reviews say, its centrally located so going to pretty much anywhere on the island is no hassle. The condo itself really does feel like it's your own. This was our first time to Maui (usually we go to Oahu) so to go from "city life" in Oahu to this cozy spot in Maalaea was much more relaxing and peaceful. Thank you for sharing this condo with others, it really is a gem. :)
From the moment we enter Miloway 103 our attention was driven to the magnificent welcoming view from the terrace: blue as blue can be! We arrive early in the morning but our host allowed access to the unit well before check in time. A short distance away we experienced right away Paradise in a sparkling clean almost private beach. From our location we can reach within a short period of time all the major roads leading to all the natural beauty that this island has to offer. The airport is only 10 miles away. The unit was very comfortable in particular the kitchen, I am a home cook even on vacations! We enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners in the terrace watching surfers to be! We even had a dozen of turtles visiting the beach front. We felt at home and the day to return back, we were informed that our flight was significantly delayed, our guest welcome our request to remain until later in the unit and at no cost. That made our last day in Maui! We will definitely will return again and Miloway 103 is our preferred accommodation. Thanks Gary and Glenda.
We stayed here for our 15th wedding anniversary trip. The minute you drive into Milowai, you realize it is not one of those "cookie cutter" rental condos. It feels like coming home. It is nicely appointed with all the necessities of home. We found the condo to be immaculately kept, as far as decorations and cleanliness. I wish you were able to walk directly out to the pool/lawn area from the lanai, but realize this helps keep privacy for those on the first floor.
As far as the area, there really isn't a whole lot to do in Ma'alaea, but it is a very convenient location if you are wanting to explore all areas of the island. It is a short drive to Kihei/Waliea, as well as Lahaina/Ka'anapali, and also to the airport.
We loved sitting out in the lawn chairs by the water and watching the ships come in and out of the harbor. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We would love to come back.
The property was centrally located, well stocked and had beautiful views! Sea turtles frolicked in the surf right outside our door!
Ocean front, tropical beauty and relaxing comfort.
We welcome you to our luxurious Milowai ocean front condominium located along the shore of Maalaea Bay. Come experience the spirit of aloha here where you will find the best of Hawaiian living along with the relaxing comforts of being in paradise in this beautiful vacation condo.

Equatorial Guinea have been expelled from the African Nations Cup qualifiers after being found guilty of using an ineligible player, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced on Friday.
Equatorial Guinea were found to have used Cameroon-born player Thierry Fidieu in their two-legged preliminary round tie against Mauritania in May. Mauritania protested and CAF ruled that Fidieu had no connection with Equatorial Guinea and was therefore not eligible to play.
The small oil-rich west African country has in recent years topped up its national team with imports from Brazil, Colombia and other African countries, who were given passports and paid to play.
The practice has gone on with impunity recently, including seeing the tiny Spanish-speaking country's women's team qualify for the last Women's World Cup in Germany with a team full of Brazilians.
FIFA rules say players can only represent a country if they are a citizen, or were born there, have a blood connection going back two generations or have served a spell of residency of four continuous years.
This is first time CAF have taken action against Equatorial Guinea for using foreign players despite several previous complaints from opponents. CAF had said in the past that it could not take action because it could not judge a legal document like a passport which had been issued by any African government invalid.
Ironically Mauritania, now restored to the qualifiers and who play Uganda in a two legged tie in July and August in the next round of preliminaries, are among several other African countries who strengthened their national team in the past with players who had no previous connection with the country.
Equatorial Guinea's expulsion from the qualifiers for next year's tournament in Morocco follows a similar ban on Gambia, who were caught using over-age players in CAF junior competitions earlier this year.
