Mars rover prepares for test of rock sample
LOS ANGELES Fresh off drilling into a rock for the first time, the Mars rover Curiosity is prepping for the next step: dissecting the pulverized rock to determine what it's made of.
Images beamed back to Earth on Wednesday showed a tablespoon of grayish powder in Curiosity's scoop, giving scientists their first glimpse of the sample collected during the drilling nearly two weeks ago. Over the next several days, Curiosity will sieve the powder and deliver a pinch to its onboard laboratories for analysis.
The Martian landscape is stained orange-red by iron-rich dust from the surface that is blown around in the atmosphere. That the drilled rock is gray underneath signals that it probably did not undergo certain chemical changes through surface exposure, scientists said, and it's a good starting point in Curiosity's quest to determine whether the environment was ever favorable for microbes.
"It's pretty exciting to us that you just sort of brush beneath this surface veneer … and the rocks are a completely different color," said mission scientist Joel Hurowitz at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The car-size Curiosity landed in an ancient crater near the Martian equator last summer after a harrowing plunge through the thin atmosphere. Soon after landing, the six-wheeled rover drove to a waypoint where it checked out its high-tech tools.
The drill was last to be tested. Engineers previously said it was the hardest engineering task since the landing, which relied on never-before-tried tricks to lower the rover from its spacecraft with cables.
Depending on how the rock analysis goes, the team may decide to drill again or start heading toward Mount Sharp, the rover's ultimate destination where images from space reveal intriguing layers at the base.
The trip to Mount Sharp has been delayed several times mainly because the instrument check-out has taken longer than expected.

Because I've grown tired of writing about the superfecta of Tim Lincecum's possible reasons for struggling — mechanics, health, mental state, and weight — I decided to go through yesterday's 5-0 loss to the Texas Rangers and see if I could find any other patterns that could be contributing to his slow start.

Slash line on plate appearances where Rangers hitters didn't get to two strikes against Lincecum: .400/.438/.600.
Tim Lincecum is predominantly a fastball/changeup pitcher (only 26% of his pitches have been either sliders or curveballs this season), and there are two problems with this. One, he has poor command on both of his favorite pitches, frequently either throwing the ball across the middle of the plate and/or away from the target set by Posey (and Lincecum's pitches tend to be in a hitter's "wheelhouse" more often as games wear on). Two, the difference in speeds between his fastball and changeup hasn't been large enough.
From Joe Sheehan's recent Sports Illustrated "Inside MLB" piece on Johan Santana after Santana threw the first no-hitter in Mets history:
Santana has lost something, however. A pitcher who once threw 93 mph is averaging 88 mph with his fastball this season. What Santana has managed to do, however, is modulate his changeup accordingly. The sweet spot for a pitcher is a 10-mph gap between his fastball and change. Santana, who at his peak paired his 93-mph heater with an 82-mph change, is now throwing his changeup at 78. For a fastball-changeup pitcher (four of every five deliveries from Santana are one or the other), velocity matters less than speed differentials, and Santana changes speeds just as effectively as he did when he was the best pitcher in baseball.
Check out Lincecum's average velocities over the years for his fastball and changeup, according to Brooks Baseball.
Since Lincecum shows no signs of adding "pinpoint, Greg Maddux-like command" to his arsenal anytime soon, it would seem that the best way to dominate the only way he knows how (lots and lots of strikeouts) would be to figure out a way to widen the gap in velocity between his fastballs and changeups, like Santana. Easier said than done, but for now I'd rather focus on that than whether or not he's eating too few cheeseburgers or if his dad needs to come down to San Francisco and "save" him.
I can only imagine the response I would get BASG..if it was ME,saying that Lincecum's problems are that he forgot how to throw a baseball...or if I said "He doesn't concentrate when the bases are loaded" !! wow..It would be like I just broke out of the asylum and ran to the keyboard.
Remember Sabean is the same man who claimed Lincecum missed his first all star game from dehydration!....He was dehydrated but the real story was WHY?..that was never explained was it?
I just heard Sabean say "Its not a weight issue" then after the host He look's like he lost some weight..."No,he hasn't lost any weight since the season started" said Sabean. Sabean skipped over saying how much Lincecum weighs or that he lost so much in the offseason. And that I heard on BASG tapes Lincecum himself say in May he lost 10 more pounds since the season began..Sabean lies. That Sabean tried to pass off the falloff as "He's not concentrating"..bullshit. Two time Cy Young winner..forgets to concentrate and how to throw a baseball?..what a crackpot of lies. And also-so why does Lincecum look thinner?..Korzimor said so,Kate Scott had said so...Urban had said that. I would ask Sabean how the hell lack of concentration takes away stamina in what amounts to an hour or two's worth of pitching once a week for Lincecum? I think it just comes down to a stigma that their star pitcher has an illness that is usually seen in young woman. And if the Giants have to claim he needs more long toss,hamburgers and a more positive outlook?,-- they will..no matter how foolish they sound.
See, this how I see my Lincecum theorem and others theorys..all theirs end up at best coming back to mine. Its like a math formula that gets to the cause..all others are just "In addition".
I get what your saying..like as if he hurt his arm,then fall back on Zito like fool'em pitching. As long as he can throw strikes. But,I say he cant adjust to that while he's pitching on fumes. You ever get that low sugar feeling? kinda jittery..and don't feel right until you eat something? Tim's in sort of that mode all the time. Its not easy to explain why doesn't Tim just throw a slower off speed...but if he does I know it wont go where he wants and its T ball time for the hitters.
This is a really fascinating analysis, BASG. Thanks for doing the researching and making a very clear, compelling argument. Lincecum usually gets his K's on swing and miss of the changeup --its his bread and butter strikeout pitch. While I agree that the shrinking speed differential makes it more difficult for Lincecum to be effective, its only part of the problem. Command, and particularly command out of the stretch, is also a big issue, a bigger issue, I believe. Yes, increasing the difference between fastball/change up would help make up for the lack of command. But if you look at Lincecum's first batter, Kinsler, he struck him out with three amazing pitches. It was unhittable, and it was his 85mph changeup that produced a swinging K. He put those pitches exactly where he wanted them to be. Unfortunately, he was not able to have that command for the rest of the game, and he got himself in trouble once he was in the stretch. Snowleopard made a great point about Lincecums RISP stats, which, again, point to pitching out of the stretch problems.
I think more than velocity differential, lack of control has been the more detrimental factor. Despite all his K's he has much more trouble putting guys away when he has 0-2, 1-2, and 2-2 counts. His pitches per inning have skyrocketed. Most pitchers gain better control as they age. Not all, but most. Timmy has lost control.
Everything you wrote here BASG makes sense, however ... Lincecum has actually pitched OK this season without RISP: .235 / .298 / .400, with a 3.76 K/BB (career numbers without RISP before this year: .227 / .294 / .337, with a 3.12 K/BB). It's only *with* RISP that his numbers look really out of line: .337 / .463 / .542, with a 0.59 K/BB (contrast that with career numbers with RISP before this year - .212 / .290 / .321, with a 2.58 K/BB).
Damn ..your good BASG Damn good...I need a cold shower from all that... I can't even find a snappy comeback..damn stats are HOT....I don't know if I want more or not. Sheesh I made that rhyme or will Timmy find his pitch in just in time .... All the same SGL is one lucky lady because I am stunned you really did your work and that is awesome ... Now I think Tim needs a good girlfriend because the one he's got must have slept with Pat Burrell.
But if that's what your going to focus on..your making the same mistake as Lincecum. See,Tim's problem as I see it is..he doesn't see that he has a problem. Whats the first thing you learn in any problem you might have? You learn to admit you have that problem. Lincecum is trying to fix part two without fixing part one-that at 150 pounds,he CANNOT throw at 90+ with any control..or at least the Cy Young control he had at 170-197. No amount of positive thought or tinkering with mechanics will give him the stamina to still fire the ball in the 8th inning like he did in the first...as he did in his Cy years. Or if you want a visual example? Think of Monty Pythons Black Knight..."C'mon ya pansies!"..Still wanted to fight with no legs and one arm-lol. You see?
Thing of it is - Lincecum has actually been pitching like a Cy Young winner this year when there has been just a man on first (.209 / .244 / .279 w 6.50 K/BB, compared to pre-2012 levels of .213 / .259 / .334 and 4.02). And he's been at his absolute worst with the bases loaded or men on second and third (.467 / .476 / .933). All this, unfortunately, points to him having mental issues more than simply a problem pitching from the stretch.
totally serious though BASG ...really good job on the stats...Honest...

Carry your toothbrush in style with this exclusive IMAX® Screen Washbag, made from the actual screen material of the UK's first IMAX® theatre at the National Media Museum in Bradford. Designed exclusively by eco-fashion pioneers M-24, this washbag could also double as a pencil case.
IMAX® screens are made from a different material to normal cinema screens, the special perforated vinyl used is more reflective and brighter. The screen material used to make these bags was initially spray-painted silver to allow for more light to be reflected; spray painting the screen silver ensures light is reflected in a direct line from the screen while a white screen would refract the light and cause a 'ghosting' or blurring of the image. The screen IMAX® this bag is made from was recently taken down to allow for a digital upgrade to the cinema at the National Media Museum.
Handmade in England, the durable IMAX® Screen Washbag is wipeable with a waterproof lining and measures 22 cm x 12 cm

Getting the Best Smile After Braces Treatment
Braces are only one part of the recipe leading to a beautiful smile. You and your orthodontist also play a big part in ensuring a great grin.
The first important step you can take is ensuring you choose the proper person to provide your orthodontic care. You should always leave your care to an orthodontist. Even if your dentist says he or she can straighten your teeth, the best orthodontic care can only be provided by an actual orthodontist.
Why is that? Orthodontists are dentists who spent additional years dedicated to learning how to treat malocclusions, and the unique way the jaw and mouth work together. While dentists are more than capable for other dental work, only an orthodontist will have the understanding needed to ensure you have not just a pretty smile, but a properly functioning one as well.
Additionally, orthodontists will have all of the tools needed to ensure the best smile for you. The tools at the disposal of many dentists are more like one size fits all solutions to orthodontics, and unfortunately, that means you may not get your ideal smile. What works for one patient may not work for another. An orthodontist will craft a custom treatment plan just for you that is specific to your needs.
But just as the orthodontist you choose plays a large part in your care, so do you. Throughout the course of your treatment, and in some cases even before treatment can begin, your orthodontist will tell you things you need to do to ensure treatment is successful. You must be careful to follow all of your orthodontist's recommendations.
For instance, if you are an adult patient, you may be asked to have some teeth extracted or have jaw surgery in order to help your orthodontic treatment. Why is that? Orthodontic treatment is most effective while the jaw is still growing. While it can be effective as an adult, since the jaw has stopped growing, your orthodontist may recommend jaw surgery or tooth extraction in cases of severe crowding, for instance. This will ensure the best outcome once the braces are removed.
You'll also need to follow all care instructions as given by your orthodontist. It's important to brush and floss as normal, and avoid any foods that can damage your braces. If you foresee this being a problem for you, ask your dentist about Invisalign. These invisible aligners are removable, so you can take them out when you eat, drink and brush your teeth.
Keep all appointments with your orthodontist. This will ensure that your treatment stays on track and if adjustments need to be made, your orthodontist can catch them in a timely manner. Otherwise treatment may be extended.
Also, it's important to always remember that your orthodontist can never promise an exact amount of time your braces will be on. If you see someone who says he can guarantee your teeth will be moved in six months, get a second opinion. Everyone's teeth respond differently to treatment, and your orthodontist will most likely only be able to give you a time frame for how long treatment will last.
If you have questions during treatment, or if something happens with your braces, don't hesitate to bring it up with your orthodontist. Your orthodontist is here to care for you and is available to answer questions and repair emergencies. This will also ensure your treatment stays on track.
And finally, it's important to have a realistic idea of what wearing braces can accomplish. While you might have a straighter and better functioning smile, there may still be things about your smile you dislike. Braces will not change the color or shape of your teeth, so if those are things you dislike, you may want to speak with a cosmetic dentist about ways to correct that.
By working together with your orthodontist, you can ensure that when your braces come off, your teeth will function at their best, helping you chew, speak and smile better than ever.

-- Brad Friedman
Sequoia Voting Systems has sent a legal threat to Princeton University computer science professors Ed Felten and Andrew Appel warning them of legal action should they proceed with an analysis of New Jersey's touch-screen voting machines as unanimously recommended last week by an association representing election clerks across the state.
In a terse email sent last Friday, obtained today by The BRAD BLOG, Sequoia's Edwin Smith, Vice-President of Compliance/Quality/Certification, warns the university academics that the company has "retained counsel to stop any infringement of our intellectual properties, including any non-compliant analysis."
"We will also take appropriate steps to protect against any publication of Sequoia software, its behavior, reports regarding same or any other infringement of our intellectual property," Smith threatens.
The email from Smith to Felten and Appel is posted in full at the end of this article. Felten has confirmed its authenticity late this afternoon.
The call by state election officials for the independent study of Sequoia's AVC Advantage touch-screen machines comes in the wake of a recent finding that the systems mistallied voter turnout totals across at least six different counties in New Jersey's February 5th Presidential Primary Election. During a post-election canvass, it was found that the number of voters for each party, as reported by the internal printouts on the electronic voting machines, failed to match totals on the internal memory cards inside the same systems in a number of instances across the state.
Sequoia's explanation for the problem, essentially blaming voters and poll workers for pushing a complicated series of buttons, was found lacking by the state election clerks.
The discovery of mistallies followed on previous embarrassment for Sequoia and New Jersey when several machines failed to boot up at all on the morning of the Super Tuesday Election, causing a 45-minute delay for NJ's Governor John Corzine before he was finally able to cast a vote at his polling place in Hoboken.
The very same Sequoia AVC Advantage systems which failed in New Jersey, will be used across Pennsylvania in that state's upcoming --- and rather important --- Primary Election next month.
Sequoia has good reason to be concerned about what may come of an analysis by professors Felten and/or Appel. Both of them have previously detailed major voting machine security flaws, and the ability to easily hack into such systems made by both Sequoia and Diebold Election Systems...

Has a lot for a small museum in SW Kansas. Gives you the opportunity to get very clothes to these historical machines!
I had read that Liberal was the home to WWII B-24 crew training and wanted to stop to see what the museum was all about. George McGovern had trained here. I learned that former AF Chief of Staff Larry Welch was a Liberal native. There were a lot of historic photos of WWII days as well as lots of documentation...
I was told by this campground manager and wanted me to go to visit so I would not be bored by myself. I walk around the facility, can be 1-2 hours and the administration told me to taken your time and there is no rush. So I took my time probably 4-5 hours to made photos and read the plagues....
If you love airplanes and history, this is the place for you! Admission is $7.00 per person and it is a self guided tour. There are about 100 planes to see and their collection is growing. There are also a few planes outside to see including an older FedEx plane. There is also a gift shop for souvenirs. A great...
A great place for the family to visit and interact with American history. My father-in-law from Chicago visited us and went to the Air Museum, where he spent 2+ hours exploring and learning about the various aircraft.
It was difficult to get to. At least the GPS had problems. Ranked as one of the largest collections number wise but I feel poorly displayed. All the planes were crammed together, dimly lit, and dusty. There were some interesting A/C but few of any historical value. What staff that were there were very polite and welcoming. There were no...
This museum has the 5th largest display in the US and the largest in Kansas. It's impressive for the small size of the facility.
This is a wonderful museum but not well cared for or advertised. Couldn't find signs to point us in the right direction. They have lots of interesting information but their exhibit cases aren't well cared for. The model planes hanging upside down by a string or dead flies and spider webs in the cases. Lots of flat tires on historical...
My grandchildren ages 11-13 enjoyed this attraction. Staff was really attentive to our needs.
I have been here several times but it was the first time for them.
Even though we are local, an occasional visit to the Mid-America Air Museum makes for a fun family day. There's lots of history to explore and always something new to see.

In this video we see the Muawiyah brigade launching one MILAN missile.
As you might know Liwa al-Haqq, Harakat Ahrar as-Sham and Jabhat al-Nusra captured eighty-eight MILAN missiles without launchers on the 15th of March 2013. These missiles were all of former Syrian Arab Army stocks, leftovers from the 4400 ordered in 1977 and delivered in 1978-1979. All the missiles delivered to Syria were of the F1 standard.
The missiles in the video are of the F2 standard. A variant, Syria is not known to have ordered. It is therefore simple to conclude the missiles seen in this video are being supplied from elsewhere.
The photo here below (taken from the video at 0:27) proofs the missile is of the F2 standard.
The direct supplier is either Libya or Qatar, both known operators of the missiles. Qatar even supplied the Free Libyan Army with some of her own MILAN missiles during the Libyan Revolution. Qatar owns the F2 variant, Libya owns the F3 variant(except the missiles given to Libya by Qatar which were of the F2 variant). This means the missiles are definitely coming from Qatar, either directly or via Libya.
Recent photos of the Libyan ship detained by Lebanese authorities in 2012 show MILAN F2 missiles in a shipping container. If a batch of those missiles did make it trough in recent times or the Free Syrian Army acquired the MILAN F2 missiles directly from Qatar remains unknown.
The major difference between the F1 and F2 variant can be seen here:
As you can see the penetration of the Milan F2 is way higher. Making it way deadlier against targets that need a high amount of penetration such as tanks.

Acromegaly is a rare but serious condition caused by too much growth hormone (GH) in the blood. GH is released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. The blood carries GH to other parts of the body where it has specific effects. In children, GH stimulates growth and development. In adults, GH affects energy levels, muscle strength, bone health, and one's sense of well-being.
Too much GH in children is called gigantism and is extremely rare. Acromegaly in adults occurs mainly in middle-aged men and women.
Acromegaly is usually caused by a non-cancerous tumor in the pituitary gland called a pituitary adenoma. The tumor produces too much GH and raises the level of GH in the blood. Too much GH also raises the level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone produced in the liver that also promotes growth. Rarely, acromegaly is caused by hormone-producing tumors in other parts of the body.
If acromegaly is suspected, your doctor will do a blood test to check your level of IGF-1. High IGF-1 levels can mean that your levels of GH are also high.
Another way to diagnose acromegaly is with an oral glucose tolerance test. In this test, GH levels in the blood are measured after you drink sugar water. Normally, the sugar water will make the pituitary gland stop producing GH and blood levels drop. However, a GH-producing pituitary tumor will not stop making GH, so the levels of GH in the blood will not change.
A person with acromegaly usually has large hands and feet, thick lips, coarse facial features, a jutting forehead and jaw, and widely spaced teeth. Often people with acromegaly sweat a lot.
Other signs and symptoms fall into three categories, depending on the underlying causes. Symptoms can be caused by high GH levels, hypopituitarism (pituitary hormone deficiency caused by tumor damage to the pituitary), or by tumor volume effects (when the tumor is large enough to compress surrounding brain structures).
Caused by high GH levels:
Caused by hypopituitarism:
Caused by tumor volume:
Acromegaly requires expert care. Too much GH and IGF-1 in the blood lower both your quality of life and how long you might live. The main goal of treatment is to lower GH and IGF-1 levels to normal. Treatment may be surgery, pituitary irradiation (radiation therapy on the pituitary gland), medication, or a combination of these options.
If the cause of acromegaly is a pituitary tumor, surgery to remove the tumor is the first treatment. Complete removal of some tumors is difficult and other types of therapy are often needed to reach normal GH and IGF-1 levels. If your GH level isn't normal after surgery, or if you aren't a candidate for surgery, then pituitary irradiation and medication are also options.
Irradiation can take a long time to bring GH levels down to normal. It may even take 10 to 20 years to be fully effective. Once the goal is reached, however, the effects of irradiation are permanent.
Drugs are also available to treat acromegaly, but they are not a cure. If surgery or radiation does not lower your GH levels, you'll probably have to take medication for the rest of your life. (Rarely, when medications are stopped, control of the disease continues.) The most effective medications for acromegaly are somatostatin analogs and a GH receptor antagonist. Another type of medication (dopamine agonists) works for some but not most patients. Some patients may benefit from a combination of these medicines.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Thomas Weelkes
born in Elsted, Sussex, England, composed during the Renaissance period
His first (and best-known) compositions fed the tremendous vogue for Italianate music in Elizabethan England. In comparison to the then-recent publications of Morley, Weelkes lacked the elder madrigalist's graceful simplicity in the form; his resounding sonorities and imaginative contrasts, however, were already present in the First Book of Madrigals (3-6 voices, 1597). The volumes of 1598 (5 voices) and 1600 (5 and 6 voices) present Weelkes' best work, and some of the best English madrigals of all time. Weelkes' style in this music coalesces his understanding of the tradition of Flemish polyphony through the Englishman William Byrd, with Weelkes' own fascination with Italian music, especially the rich text-painting and daring chromaticism of Marenzio. Other characteristic traits include embedded musical contrasts, such as those in O care, thou wilt despatch me; the brilliant sonorities of Thule, the period of Cosmography; and the careful structural constructs found in his contribution to Morley's volume of Orianna madrigals: As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending.
Weelkes' long tenure serving the Church yielded a rich (though lesser-known) harvest of liturgical compositions. He produced both "Full" and "Verse" anthems, the latter involving passages written for soloists. The Verse Anthems afforded him more room for text-sensitivity, in addition to being more practically suited to a smaller, provincial choir. However, the fullness of his textures brings a note of brilliance and grandeur to the Full Anthems, such as his Hosanna to the Son of David. He also wrote 10 complete Anglican Services, more restrained (and again practical) in style, the mark of a conscientious, if sometimes ill-behaved, church musician. These Services often demonstrate deep structural relationships between the various canticles and even contain motivic ties to related anthems. ~ Timothy Dickey, Rovi

The rain rammed on the roof like a wildebeest stampede.
I managed to ignore it.
Alex, SDF and I were lounging in the dining room playing Monopoly. I was losing so badly, I had barely any property and was going bankrupt.
But I couldn't give up, never give up, especially not in Monopoly. If Universe was here, she would have quit 30 minutes into the game, it doesn't take too much for her to lose interest in something.
Universe is my very good friend, almost like a little sister. She, SDF and I lived together, and Alex was around so often, you'd think he lived with us, too. It was my turn to roll.
I picked up the dice and tossed them on the the worn out cardboard, then counted the small black dots, but before I could finish counting, the front door came open with a loud SLAM!
In the entrance was Universe, she was covered in blood.
The scratches and bruises showed it was her own.
Without managing a single word, she fell to the ground.
And as if the blood dripping from her fur wasn't enough, she started vomiting more of it on the hard wood floor, before she finally fell unconscious.
Alex did the 100 meter dash over his chair and to the bloody, soaking wet Universe.
He felt for a pulse, then turned to SDF and me.
"SDF, go call an ambulance! Kole, go get the first-aid kit!"
Without thinking about it, SDF ran swiftly up the stairs, with me close behind.
As I walked up the few steps, I wondered how the hell a first-aid kit was going to help this gruesome bloody mess.
SDF ran into my bedroom to get the house phone and I dashed for the closet.
I rummaged for the white box that was never there when I needed it.
"I don't see it!" I hollered downstairs.
"Well get some some towels or something!!!" he yelled back.
I understood we were having a huge problem, but I didn't appreciate him yelling at me.
I got the towels and threw them to Alex before I fully made it downstairs.
He caught them and wrapped one around her arm, another around her torso.
"Hows she look?" I asked Alex like he was a real doctor when I got all the way downstairs.
"She lost a lot of blood...and I think her arm is broken." Alex said, with tears in his voice.
He pressed his nose against her wet, sticky, pelt, a let a couple of tears roll down his cheeks.
My brain went so numb with all the commotion, I barely noticed the ambulance siren blaring in the distance.

The Heart of the Matter: Berlinski and Denton on the Issue that Lies Behind the Evolution Debate
What is the real nub of the disagreement between Darwinists and Darwin skeptics? I mean if you could sit down with an orthodox evolutionist and drill through the layers of reason and assumption, to the very heart of our dispute with them, what would it be?
On ID the Future, I had the opportunity to ask David Berlinski and Michael Denton for their views. Dr. Berlinski thought the question itself...somewhat naïve. Ha! And he's likely right about that. And Dr. Denton? Listen and find out:

About the Owner
About Belén García
Hello Im Belen, property manager of Villa Sunset Hill. I live in Costa Rica since 2000 and have been working for the owner since we found this great property in Mal Pais, in 2006 when it was still raw land.
It have been a hard but rewarding work to build and create this beautiful vacation rental. Our goal is to keep the house simple and easy to use and enjoy, and we are always ready to assist our guests to organize their time in Mal Pais and Costa Rica. Dont hesitate in contact me with questions or comments :)
Belén García purchased this house in 2006
Why Belén García chose Puntarenas
Sunset Hill is one of the best spots in the area, enjoying dramatic views to the ocean and sunset, along with privacy and comfort. Its possible to chek out waves just from your bed or while you relax by the pool.
What makes this house unique
Mal Pais is a secret gem. Away from the crowded beaches of Santa Teresa, but still close enough to enjoy the consistent surf all year round. When you want a retreat, this is the most private house in the area.
Guestbook comments from the manager
Life has been crazy since we've been back, but we all talk of Mal Pais and smile! You were the most wonderful, gracious and thoughtful hostess we could have wished to handle our villa plans... and we look forward to seeing you this Autumn. The house is beautiful, the view unsurpassed, the beds comfortable, the towels and sheets clean and plentiful, the kitchen well stocked (please buy 2 cookie sheets :-), we cut flowers from the yard for the table and if there's a more luxurious fish filleting table in CR I'd love to see it. Thank you for stocking my soy milk and sweetener, I had my cuppa as soon as we'd unpacked.

Paradise Getaway
My wife and I wanted to get away from New York for a week and this house was the perfect getaway. It was secluded from the bustle of the main road so the privacy and quiet on the hill was perfect. The house and a huge kitchen (fridge/cutlery/etc) that we could cook in when we wanted to stay in, yet was a short drive to the restaurants we wanted to go to when we felt like dining out. Belen (property manager) was extremely helpful with suggestions of where to go and even gave us a guide before we arrived. About the house? Where to start - the best view you could ever ask for. Perfect infinity pool, lounge chairs to read and drink and actually get away from it all. My wife and I did our own yoga sessions on the deck built (I believe) specifically for it, and there was mats already available which was convenient as we had forgotten ours. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable, and there was an awesome living room/common space we used to play cards and lounge when we were tired from surfing. One of the main things we wanted to do was go zip lining and Belen let us know (she emailed quickly by email) that there was a place just down the road and let us know how to get there. The house was perfectly hidden away from the main tourist hub for seclusion, privacy, and a sense of quiet we wanted, yet close enough to all the things we wanted from a Costa Rica trip. We ended up eating at quite a few hotels as they had recommendations of good food/views etc, but the honestly staying at Villa Sunset Hill ended up being the best view and accommodations we saw the entire week. Would highly recommend to both couples and larger groups/family retreats. Thanks again for a great week for my wife's birthday vacation. Pure vida!
Paradise Set Apart
A truly extraordinary setting and villa that made time stop for us. The villa and its siting are absolutely perfect. You can not stay here without a renewed appreciation for the natural landscape and the raw beauty of Mal Pais. My family of siblings, parents and grandchildren flew from three cities across the U.S. to rendez-vous in Mal Pais. The adventure to get to the house, was well worth it. The house was a wonderful oasis that felt truly set apart in place a time from the world. The modern design and spacious accommodations were great for our large family and we spent a lot of time in the infinity edge pool which was relaxing and magical at sunset. Grandma and grandchildren doing yoga in the morning under the trellis, while siblings and their spouses lounging in the great room or pool, it was a perfect place for our family to spend time together with ample elbow room. The nearby activities of horse back riding, zip lining and the beach were fantastic but we found ourselves wanting to spend more and more time at the house, swimming, reading and relaxing. Getting too and from takes time, but it is well worth the adventure-- a private escape that is as authentic and beautiful as you get!
Stunning sunset view & marvelous modern home!
We live locally in San Jose and wanted a weekend escape during the off-season to Malpais. We had a perfect stay in this gorgeous house! What a view indeed -- it's like 180-degree view of the ocean.
It is a steep climb but that's the price for a beautiful view. We had a 4x4 SUV and it was not a problem.
The inside is crisp and modern and I wish my kitchen was this size at home! But the main attraction is the outdoor terrace and infinity pool, where we spent the bulk of our time...lounging, relaxing and soaking up nature: butterflies and greenry.
The rooms are really big, and our friends who joined us and stayed in one of the bungalows loved how cozy it was. And they said there is an ocean view everywhere...from the bed, even from the bathroom!
We will totally recommend this property to friends who are looking for a piece of paradise, and we'll be back!
Good value, priceless view.
Recently booked Sunset Hill for some family members to stay at. While I did not stay there personally, my wife and I visited the villa several times during the week and were very impressed with the style and view offered by this rental. With a 4X4, the steep driveway was a breeze, as it is well paved except for the very top portion.
Any issues that came up during the stay were quickly dealt with by Belen and Carla.
Great place!
My family and I stayed here during Thanksgiving week and we had a wonderful time. The house was recently "refreshed" with fresh paint and was very comfortable.
The house inside itself, is very simple but clean. Bedrooms had basic beds, not the most comfortable, but nowhere near the worst I have experienced in Costa Rica. There is very limited storage space for your clothes and no closets.
The kitchen is large with a beautiful stainless steel oven and stove. It is well equipped with coffee maker, blender, Fridge, pots and pans, etc. No Microwave or mini toaster oven which would have been nice for quick reheats. But, there is a grill outside for BBQs.
There are AC's in the bedroom and the living room.
The view view view!!! Definitely the best asset of this place is the gorgeous view and natural beauty surrounded it. Sunrise and sunsets are amazing! The gardens surrounding the pool and bungalows were designed with bird watching in mind! They attracted flocks of parrots and beautiful hummingbirds, along with a wide array of birds that I couldn't begin to name!
The infinity pool is the place to be and relax while taking in all the beauty. The outside deck area is covered and filled with cushioned seating. This is where we spent much of our time and just took in the views.
-Amazing view
-Amazing pool and outdoor area
-Huge useful kitchen
-Safe and Secure
-Road to house is steep, windy, and not fully paved. Must have a 4x4.
-Beds not super comfy
-Could use more storage space
Overall, I would highly recommend staying here. Working with the property manager, Belen, was also a pleasure as she was very nice and informative.
It's all about the best view - ever!!!
If the view is important to you, and it IS to us, then this is the house. AMAZING! The sunsets, ocean, pool, and privacy! THE BEST. If there weren't so many bugs (it's the jungle, after all!), we would have preferred to sleep outside every night in the hammock that we brought.
The house has so much potential to be a 5-star home, if not for the "little things". Unfortunately, I have to share my true feelings, so that the owners/managers will know, and can improve, as I would like to know, if it were my home that I am offering for someone's vacation stay.
Here goes....
-The beds need mattress pads - for sanitary reasons, as well as comfort of your guests.
-The pillows have to be replaced - we had to double up the pillow cases because the pillow are old, stained, and unsanitary.
-The bed linens could have been updated - they were stained..
-The towels have to be replaced - they were torn, frayed, stained and looked dirty - like rags.
-The plastic container for garbage was so dirty, we didn't want to open it to throw our garbage bags in - it is really gross.
-No soap dishes in the showers or bathroom vanity - it was a mess just laying the soap on the counters.
-The ceiling fan could use a good cleaning - it's layered with black dirt/dust.
-The coffee table by the pool had 4 wasp nests - side and underneath. We were constantly being bothered by the wasps until we finally looked for where they were coming from and had to move it.
-It would have been nice to have cushions on the lounges by the pool to lay on.
Thank you for replacing the old, rusty barbecue with a new one, upon our request!!
We washed all the sheets and towels the first night because they looked dirty. I'm sure they weren't dirty, but it just felt unsanitary. I feel that if you are going to provide these items, then they should have been in better condition, otherwise, it shouldn't be advertised that it is provided.
Realize that it is someone's vacation, and as a guest of my home, I would want my guests to feel pampered, feel special, and be comfortable. Honestly, if not for the magnificent view and having the pool area, I felt like I was "camping", instead of living inside a beautiful, modern house. I love the look of Modern/Minimalist, Simplicity, and "Less is More" - but Clean and Fresh is the best.
All are simple and inexpensive "fixes" that could turn a "college dorm" accommodation, into truly a 5 star experience. But please...DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT THE VIEW!!!!!!

Two Government adverts which used nursery rhymes to raise awareness of climate change have been banned for overstating the risks, a watchdog announced today.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that the adverts created on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and based on the children's poems Jack and Jill and Rub-A-Dub-Dub made exaggerated claims about the threat to Britain from global warming.
The campaign went beyond mainstream scientific consensus in asserting that climate change would cause flooding and drought, the watchdog said.
It noted that predictions about the potential global impact of global warming made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "involved uncertainties" that the adverts failed to reflect.
Two posters juxtaposed adapted extracts from the nursery rhymes with prose warnings about the dangers of global warning.
One began: "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. There was none as extreme weather due to climate change had caused a drought." Beneath was written: "Extreme weather conditions such as flooding, heat waves and storms will become more frequent and intense."
The second advert read: "Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub - a necessary course of action due to flash flooding caused by climate change." It was captioned: "Climate change is happening. Temperature and sea levels are rising. Extreme weather events such as storms, floods and heat waves will become more frequent and intense. If we carry on at this rate, life in 25 years could be very different."
Upholding the complaints, the ASA said the text accompanying the rhymes should have used more tentative language in both instances.
The newspaper adverts were part of a controversial media campaign launched by DECC last year which attracted a total of 939 complaints.
The watchdog found that the other elements of the campaign, including a television and cinema advert in which a father read his daughter a nightmarish bedtime story about a world blighted by climate change, did not breach its guidelines.
Environment Secretary Ed Miliband said: "The ASA has comprehensively vindicated the accuracy of the TV advert we made and rebuffed those who attempted to use the advertising standards process to question the reality of manmade climate change.
"On the one issue where they did not find in our favour around one word in our print advertising, the science tells us that it is more than 90% likely that there will be more extreme weather events if we don't act. In any future campaign, as requested by the ASA, we will make clear the nature of this prediction.
"We will continue to provide public information about the dangers of climate change."Reuse content
