Never had a Garmin that hasn't been riddled with bugs.
Currently have a 520 that often crashes and sometimes uploads rides.
My next computer won't be a Garmin.
If you're thinking about buying a GPS bike computer, chances are that at least one Garmin Edge has made it on to your shortlist. How do you choose between them? That's where we can help.
We've reviewed most of the Garmin Edges here on road.cc, so whether you want something simple to show your speed and track your ride, or you want advanced navigation and/or high-tech training features, we can talk you through what's on offer.
As ever, we've cited the best on-line prices we can find at the time, but they do vary. If you really want to save money you can also consider older Garmin Edge computers like the 510 and 810. These have been superseded in the range but can still be found second hand.

The cheaper of the pair of new GPS units that Garmin launched in April 2019 is physically the larger of the two because its case has room for buttons, while the Edge 830 is mostly touch-screen operated.
The Edge 530 is a mapping GPS with a colour screen and a claimed battery run-time of 20 hours. Plus, it can be used with Garmin's Charge power pack which was introduced with the Edge 1030, below.
In fact, what Garmin has done with the Edge 530 is bring the Edge 1030's feature set to a cheaper unit by trimming the screen size and dropping the touch screen. You therefore get a plethora of training and fitness features such as VO2 max, Recovery Adviser, FTP/Watts/kg tracking, and performance condition/lactate threshold/stress score, among others.
Most importantly, the 530 and 830 boast new processors which substantially improve the speed with which they perform tasks like loading and planning routes.
One major new feature is the ClimbPro app which shows you the remaining ascent and grade when you're climbing, while following a route or course. The idea is to help you gauge your effort over the remainder of your ride, so burning out on your first climb of the day when there are plenty more to come should become a thing of the past.

The Edge 830 is the Edge 530's big brother, with a touchscreen and fewer buttons but otherwise almost identical set of features.
The significant differences between the 830 and 530 relate to navigation. The 830 can find and navigate you to a specific address or point of interest, which the 530 can't, and you can use the 830 to create a course linking a series of points, or create a roundtrip course. In combination with popularity routing, which uses Garmin's vast database of rides to point you down the rods other riders use, it should substantially improve navigation compared to previous Edge units.

The Edge 130 offers a lot of performance in a small package, with ANT+ and Bluetooth sensor and smartphone connectivity, decent battery life, an easy-to-use button-controlled layout and, perhaps best of all, an absolutely pin-sharp display. You don't get fully fledged navigation like the pricier Garmin models but the basic setup is usable if that's not your top priority.
Packed inside the small unit are sensors that use GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellites for positioning with a barometric altimeter. We found it picks up the satellites very quickly so there's no delay to starting a ride, and it hasn't shown any sign of dropping signal during any rides so far. That's using just the GPS mode, which the Edge 130 is set to by default. It worked fine. For more challenging areas you could try either the GPS + GLONASS or GPS + Galileo but they come with a battery penalty. Unless you're having issues in the stock mode you shouldn't have to worry about changing anything.
The 130 packs a lot more data screens in than Garmin's previous entry-level GPS devices, with up to 8 viewable at once. There's no fancy touchscreen, just simple buttons on the side of the unit, and there's no colour in that screen either, but clarity is excellent in all conditions.

The Edge 520 Plus was launched in 2018. It packs many of the features from the more expensive 820 and 1030 units into a unit that is the same size as the regular Edge 520.
The big new feature is the integration of Garmin Cycle Maps as opposed to the more basic mapping and navigation on the first 520. The turn-by-turn navigation works for on and off-road courses, and also has alerts that notify you of upcoming turns. It comes with the rider-to-rider messaging service first seen on the Edge 1030, although your ride buddies will need a Garmin computer with this feature too in order for it to work.
Other highlights of the Edge 520 Plus include preloaded Strava Live Segments and advanced performance feedback when used with Garmin Connect and accessories such as power meters and/or a heart-rate device.

The Edge 1030 is Garmin's flagship on-bike GPS. It boasts the largest screen of any Garmin cycling GPS, and Garmin says the touch-screen function works in the wet or with gloves. It also has ambient light sensors to automatically adjust the screen brightness to suit the riding conditions. Battery life has been extended to a claimed 20 hours and there's a new Garmin Charge battery pack accessory to double the run time to 40 hours for longer rides.
Garmin has beefed up the navigation and course planning features. Trendline utilises the many activities uploaded to Garmin Connect to provide routes using the most popular roads and off-road trails, backed up by preloaded Cycle Maps for turn-by-turn directions on all terrain with alerts for sharp corners and elevation information. You'll also be able to choose from three round-trip suggestions by choosing a distance and starting direction if you want the Edge 1030 to recommended new routes.
Strava fans will be able to make use of the latest version of Strava Live Segments, while Strava Premium users will get further access to real-time races against personal best times. There's also a new Segment Explore feature that lets you view popular nearby segments. If you want to use the Edge 1030 for serious training, Garmin has developed the new TrainingPeaks Connect IQ app to let you put your daily workouts on the Edge 1030, and it'll also guide you through the workout in real-time with intensity targets and intervals.
The new Garmin Edge 1030 will cost £499.95 while a bundle option, which includes a premium heart rate monitor as well as cadence and speed sensors, has a suggested retail price of £549.99. There's a new flush mount that puts the Edge 1030 in line with the handlebars — not above them — for a sleek appearance.

If you want a simple GPS cycling computer for tracking your speed and distance and sharing rides through popular social training websites like Strava, the Garmin Edge 20 is easy to use, compact and provides a decent battery life.
It's discontinued, but there are still a few around. However, it's now more expensive than the more capable Edge 25, so it's hard to see why you wouldn't by that instead.
Unlike the nominally £30 more expensive Edge 25, the Edge 20 isn't Bluetooth or ANT+ compatible so you can't use it with a heart rate or cadence sensor. For some, that might be a deal breaker.
Those differences aside, the Edge 20 looks and functions identically to the Edge 25 and works a treat. It's completely wireless and is easy to swap between different bikes.
The Edge 20 is tiny, barely any bigger than the mount, and looks great on the stem. Garmin's own quarter-turn mount is a doddle to use and the computer will work with a vast number of aftermarket mounts.
The battery is charged via a special cradle that clips to the back of the computer, and the USB lead also uploads your activities to the web. Battery life is a claimed eight hours and we got pretty close to that in testing.
The display is sharp and shows all the data you really need when you're riding. You get two different screens and it's easy to switch between them.
It's very intuitive to use, and after a couple of minutes you have the measure of the device. The buttons are easy to operate when wearing gloves as well.
While there's no extensive navigational capability, you can download a route from Garmin's Connect website and follow a breadcrumb (non-detailed) trail. It's not as easy as following a map, but does keep you on the right track.
If you're sure you're never going to want to keep an eye on your heart rate the Edge 20 will be just fine, but if you might want to add a heart rate monitor in future the Edge 25 (below) is a better buy.

The Edge 25 is very similar to the Edge 20 (above) but with the addition of Bluetooth and ANT+ wireless connectivity. The former allows you to sync the device with a smartphone and Garmin's Connect app so you can easily upload completed rides.
ANT+ allows you to pair heart rate, cadence, speed sensors, although the Edge 25 isn't compatible with power meters.
While the Edge 25 isn't designed for navigation (the bigger Edge 1030 is far better at route mapping), you can download courses from Garmin Connect to the Edge 25 and follow a breadcrumb trail which works reasonably well. It even does turn-by-turn navigation, but there's no base map so you can't make up a route on the fly.
The Edge 25 will also provide Live Tracking so friends and family can go online and see where you are.
You get three screens during a ride, and you can configure two of them to display metrics from a whole range on offer: ride time, distance, current speed, ascent, calories and so on. You can't add any extra screens. If you're a data hungry cyclist that might be an issue.
Still, the Edge 25 is an excellent option if you're after something small with a good set of features.
The RRP of the Edge 25 is £139.99 on its own and £169.99 with a heart rate monitor. You can get the heart rate bundle for £167.97, but that'd be daft as you can get the base unit for £75 and Garmin's dual-channel heart rate strap for £51, and other heart rate straps are cheaper still.

The Edge 520 is one impressive piece of kit. It works smoothly with a good interface and clear display, and is bang up to date with all the features (barring full mapping) you could want from a cutting edge performance monitoring tool.
Headlining with the built-in ability to support Strava Live Segments (also available on the 820 and 1000, below), Garmin takes live monitoring of your performance out on the road to new levels here. It's a development that will delight segment hunters out there, and it works very well, although you need to pay for Strava Premium membership to enjoy this feature.
Your Strava starred segments are used to populate the 520's database of live segments, along with a selection of popular segments from your local area. You just ride up to the segment and the device cuts in with warnings of its approach and live comparisons against the KOM, the fastest person you follow, or your own PR.
The Edge 520 has a button interface rather than being touchscreen, and we find that that makes for faster response to commands. Course uploads from Strava and Garmin, and syncing with Garmin Connect, are much quicker than with previous units too.
The 520 is packed with features. It includes GPS and GLONASS satellite chips, a barometric altimeter, phone message compatibility, all the usual sensors including left and right pedal power recording from Vector pedals and compatibility with other power meters, Shimano Di2 integration, LiveTrack, Varia bike radar and light compatibility, training zone measuring, Functional Threshold Power monitoring, VO2 recording, and recovery time predictions.
It even boasts a basemap although this can't be used to plot a route home. Still, it gives a general idea of where you are.
With all the features stashed inside, as well as that improved display and smaller, lighter design, you might expect battery life to take a hit. It has, compared with the previous 510, but the 520 still offers up to 15 hours of life – long enough for a full day's ride and then some, even with the backlight working and scrolling through multiple pages.
Garmin offers the 520 as a single unit (£279.99) and as a bundle with a heart rate monitor, cadence sensor and speed sensor (£349.99), all of them communicating via ANT+.
There are still a handful of Edge 520 units in retailers, but unless you can find one at a significant discount, you're better gettking the Edge 520 Plus.

The Garmin Edge 820 is a feature-packed, compact and neat computer – an impressive piece of kit.
It's aimed at the performance cyclist who wants to be able to navigate, so isn't as bulky as the 1000 (below), but packs in more features than the 520 (above). The size of the screen means it's not at the same level as the 1000 in terms of navigation, but it might be enough for your needs.
You get some excellent navigational features such as Round Trip Routing which allows the computer to create a route for you, giving options based on distance, climbing and intensity. Maps have a clear layout making it easy to see exactly where you are going, and turn-by-turn prompts are simple to follow. After adding in a postcode, town or specific site, the 820 will get you to the correct place without fuss.
As with other Garmin units, you can customise the data you see on each page and set activity profiles, which means you can have different setups for different uses.
Garmin has also added GroupTrack, which allows you to track up to 50 riders (they must have compatible Garmin computers and follow you on Garmin Connect) within 10 miles of you. If you get dropped or lost, you can easily see where others are.
The unit is operated predominantly through touchscreen, but with two buttons at the bottom and the on/off button on the top left. The touchscreen works okay, but compared with button-controlled computers and the 1000 it seems a little sluggish, sometimes taking a second to react. However, it worked just as well with touchscreen-enabled gloves and was still usable in the wet.
The unit is ANT+ and Bluetooth compatible and is simple to pair with sensors on the bike. It also shows notifications and information from your smartphone.
Garmin is catching up with other bike computers in delivering 'incident detection', which means that a text message and location can be sent to a pre-determined contact number in the event of a crash.
Recording is as good as anything we have seen from other GPS computers. There can be a little loss when riding under cover (trees and tunnels, for instance), and occasionally you can see an erratic twitch in your recorded route when riding between tall buildings.
Uploading from the 820 is done through Bluetooth to your smartphone, which is quick and easy through the Garmin Connect app. From there you can either download the file to your desktop or share it with other sites like Strava.
Battery life is around 15 hours, and there are also battery saver modes that can help to extend this, essentially turning off the display while still recording.
If you want heart rate and speed and cadence sensors as well, it's currently cheaper to buy them separately than to buy a bundle that includes them.

The Edge 1000 is larger than any of the cheaper models in the range, with a screen that's bigger and easier to read. It's been superseded by the Edge 1030, and has just about vanished from retailers, but there are plenty around second hand.
Unless you're planning to go somewhere incredibly remote, you'll probably find the OpenStreetMap-based mapping to be complete and accurate. The maps are good enough that you can plot yourself a route around an area you don't know just by using the screen. The maps lose a lot of detail as you zoom out because the screen resolution can't show you all the little roads on a wide view of an area, so a certain amount of zooming in and out is required if you're in unfamiliar territory.
The Edge 1000 is capable of turn-by-turn navigation over a prescribed route, or of routing you to a location (or a series of locations) by itself. There are myriad ways of making a GPX file containing a ride you want to do; Garmin's own Connect portal will do it, as will any number of third-party websites. Once you have your file, you can connect your Garmin to your computer and download it.
Rather than the resistive screen of the 820 (the touchscreen works by sensing the pressure of your finger, not its electric signature), the 1000 uses capacitive technology, like a smartphone (the screen carries a charge and the natural conductive properties of your finger affect the screen's charge when you touch it). We've not had any false input from rain and it has worked fine with gloves on.
The Edge 1000 will pair with ANT+ devices including various power meters and Shimano's Di2 widget. Displaying the data is simple enough: within each profile (you can set up as many as you need) you can configure five data screens with up to 10 metrics on each. Essentially, if it can be measured and you have an ANT+ sensor capable of measuring it, it can probably be displayed!
The Edge 1000 also has a low-power Bluetooth 4.0 chipset, predominantly so that it can pair with a smartphone. This makes uploading rides simple via the Garmin Connect app. As soon as you save a ride it's automatically uploaded to Garmin Connect, and because Connect now plays nicely with Strava, from there it's automatically synced to Strava.
The Bluetooth tether to your phone also allows you to use Garmin's Live Tracking to broadcast your position to whoever you choose using the phone's data connection. It relies on a data signal being available, so if you're riding through somewhere with limited coverage, updates will be patchy.
The Edge 1000 is also WiFi enabled. That means you can set it up on your home or work network, and as soon as you get back it can auto-sync your ride data that way instead.
The Edge 1000's stated run time is up to 15 hours, but we've found that in real world conditions it's more like 10-12 hours. The screen backlight has the most obvious effect on battery life; if you have it always on at maximum brightness you'll not get anything like 10 hours out of it.

Relatively new to the Edge series, and not to be confused with the Explore 1000 or Explore 820, the Edge Explore is a mapping GPS unit for riders who don't need all the training and fitness orientated features of the more expensive Edge units, but who do want a decent-sized screen and map, and the ability to connect to heart rate monitors for basic fitness measurement.
You don't get the level of customisation of the 1030, 820 or 520 Plus; the unit assumes you have just one bike, for example, and there are just two customisable screens. But you still get features such as LiveTrack and GroupTrack for keeping in touch with home base and other riders, support for Connect IQ apps, incident detection to send an alert if you crash, Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity for everything but power meters and loads more.
And unlike previous Edge Explore and Touring models, the price is sensible.
Buy if: You want a general cycling and navigation GPS without the power measurement and training bells and whistles of the more expensive Edge units.

The Edge Explore 1000 was to the Edge 1000 what the Edge Explore 820 is to the Edge 820: a slightly simplified version with some of the performance-focused features stripped out, at a cheaper price.
You don't get the option of using Strava Live Segments, for instance, nor of advanced workouts or riding against a virtual partner, and there's no Shimano Di2 electronic shift integration.
The Explore 1000 is compatible with power meters, heart rate monitors, speed and cadence sensors, and so on.
Unlike the Edge 1000, the Explore 1000 offers incident detection via an integrated accelerometer. The idea is that the sensor can tell if you've had an accident and will send your location to emergency contacts.
Buy if: You want the navigational capacity of the Edge 1000 but can live without some of the performance features.

The Edge Explore 820 is similar to the Edge 820 (above) but it comes without some of the performance-focused features so it's cheaper, or it was when they were both current models. This computer is aimed at touring and adventure riders.
So, for example, the Explore 820 isn't compatible with Strava Live Segments, electronic shifting or power meters and it doesn't offer the same level of performance analysis.
You still get bike-specific navigation, of course, along with GroupTrack (see above) when the Explore 820 is paired with a compatible smartphone.
Buy if: You want mapping but you're not after performance and the Edge 820's performance-focused features.

had an 800 about 6 years ago, loved it.
Started cycling again this year and got an 820...what a frustrating bucket of turd that thing is! even after all the bug fixes it still feels like a beta device. Speed sensor kept cutting out all the time.
Finally lost it with it, now boxed up and going in the junk box. Got myself a Wahoo Elemnt bolt yesterday and already like it more than the Garmin.
Up your game Garmin, there are competitors out there now.
Bought an Edge 1000 two years ago and it really is utterly hopeless and unreliable as a satnav.
In addition, at times it fails to record rides or segments.
It used to just stop following a pre-planned route. You'd be miles further along and your marker would be stuck miles back. The only way to force it to get back on track was to turn it off and on again, then wait until it figured out where you were along the route. It seems a little better in that respect now - it's just developed new routing 'foibles' as the software updates have been applied over 2 years.
It regularly decides - out of the blue - to tell you to do a u-turn a certain distance ahead, whilst still telling you you're on-course. Then when you pass the point of the u-turn it complains you're off course for about 30 seconds before deciding you're actually back on the correct course you'd been on all along.
I have to deliberately avoid route loops that may cross over, as this fools it entirely. I have to create a separate course that stops just before the route crosses itself and another course that starts just after that point.
It sometimes decides it won't bother giving turn-by-turn guidance. It'll show you the route and where you are on it, but no advance warning of upcoming turns, so you need to keep looking down at the map to check you're still going the right way. Stopping the course and starting it again a couple of times usually gets turn-by-turn to start working again.
Basically its only consistently reliable use is as a glorified bike speedo / mileometer and temperature guage. I'd never by Garmin again based on my experience of the Edge 1000, that's for sure.
I use a Magellan Switch Up which is a GPS tracker (though has a breadcrumb trail feature) similar to the Garmin 20/25. it's ANT+ and can do HR/cadence and power meters, the screens are extemely interchangeable data wise and you can add screens if you so wish but the ones already there show you 99.9% of what most will use.
The other advantage is that you can just clip the Switch UP onto the provided watch strap which it comes with and use it for swimming and running/walking.
for Nav i use a Teasi One which replaced my venerable Magellan meridian (which is still working fine) it's a great little Nav, wouldn't touch overpriced Garmin's with a bargepole!
^ I'd never seen the Tahuna stuff, but that answers my "£150 for touchscreen, proper maps and turn-by-turn. Who else does that?" question!
Looks a decent alternative - very good shout.
There's a second answer to that question too.... I use a Garmin Edge 25 most the time, has all the functionality I need and nothing more.
But when I need mapping etc I do have an alternative.
My alternative cost me £100, it has bluetooth, wifi and GPS, has open source maps as well as google maps. It also has a built-in camera and enough storage to save several HD movies to it (if I want), it's waterproof AND it's able to call and text people.
Pretty good for an old phone!

This is what's stopping me from upgrading my 800. Would like an 820 simply for due to the advances in screen tech and easier data upload to Garmin connect but so many horror stories - presumably brought about by the more complex system not being properly tested/ functional.
Sounds like I have a standard 820 i.e a pile of sh*t, like others have said it frequently just decides to stop giving me turn by turn directions or weirdly has added turns that aren't on the route usually down a dead end street. I can't have a route that starts and ends at the same place i.e. my house, as this confuses the Garmin into thinking I've finished a route before I've even started. Like r.glancy mine's getting boxed up and probably sold while I'll be getting myself a Wahoo Elemnt.
Had the Wahoo Elemnt for around three weeks now and cant fault it. I know it's quite a step up from my Garmin 500 in terms of features and nav, but i'm just blown away by it. I did a ton of research on forums and reviews etc. before pulling the trigger and read sooo many Garmin users complaining about issues, I really think Garmin are on borrowed time in the bike computer/gps market.
Just for some balance I have a 520, reluctant upgrade for a Cateye Stealth 50 (which is pretty solid unit in its own right) after reading all the horror stories.
It's been spotless so far. It will ocasionally lose my phone, but usually it's back within a minute. Outside of that, no issues. Battery will last me through the week after charing it Thursday or Friday night.
Yes, the setup is clunky, but it's a one-and-done sort of thing. And still much easier than my Cateye (but again, that was a one timer). To be fair, though, I rarely use the navigation, and the things I've most enjoyed about the upgrade have been the faster signal adquisition, the pretty and customizable screen and the wireless connectivity. But those three things have made a huge difference in convinience. And it's nice to know all the other features are there if I need them / get around to using them.

Whilst i've kept my samsung S2 for similar reasons you're stating, how many phones even when stripped of the bloatware can get anywhere near the run times of a standalone GPS unit?
I had being using my phone but honestly unless I'm really going somewhere that is unfamiliar and I need to make lots of turns/multiple destinations I'll just use a map/directions I've drawn onto a bit of paper and use the Magellen switch for data after the fact. The Teasi I got for £75 in April and it's a nice toy but it doesn't come out on every ride, probably not even 10% as I simply don't need it but for more serious riders and those that feel the need for a turn by turn/data recording for everything then a standalone GPS unit has distinct advantages over a phone which in turn does have advantages over a GPS.
I also have an Edge 25, first cycle computer I've had with built-in GPS (note though, does not really do good map-based navigation), and it syncs to Garmin, and then to Strava. Works fine.
Couple of nit-picks. No built-in odometer - worked around that in my account in the Garmin Connect website by adding a fictitious piece of gear (equipment) when the bike was on a round number of miles, for example at xx miles create gear called "Odo + xx miles". Don't think you can pause mid-ride and power down the unit, you have to leave it on but paused. However, neither is a big problem to me.
Sounds like I have a standard 820 i.e a pile of sh*t, like others have said it frequently just decides to stop giving me turn by turn directions or weirdly has added turns that aren't on the route usually down a dead end street. I can't have a route that starts and ends at the same place i.e. my house, as this confuses the Garmin into thinking I've finished a route before I've even started. Like r.glancy mine's getting boxed up and probably sold while I'll be getting myself a Wahoo Elemnt.
stick it on the bay, it will sell quickly..then get an elemnt bolt. now back in stock at Wiggle. love it already, less guff and actually useable in daylight..oh, and you wont be left screaming at the useless touchscreen.
I'm using an Edge 500 that is a few years old now. While it still works fine and I've been really happy with it, I'm thinking of getting something new, mainly for the convenience of uploading rides via my phone instead of having to plug into a PC (it should be possible via a USB OTG adaptor, but I've tried getting that to work and it's been a big faff with no success yet). I was looking at the Edge 520 but have been put off by all the neagtive comments I've seen about it, so I'm now thinking about the Elemnt BOLT. The question I have with that, which I haven't yet found an answer to, is can it be charged while in use from a dynamo or battery pack? I'm hoping to start doing some longer / multiday bikepacking type riding so I'd like something I can charge on the go.

Very true, but I can't decide if I should hold out for one of these coming around August https://www.hammerhead.io/
^ I'd never seen the Tahuna stuff, but that answers my "£150 for touchscreen, proper maps and turn-by-turn. Who else does that?" question!
Looks a decent alternative - very good shout.
There's a second answer to that question too.... I use a Garmin Edge 25 most the time, has all the functionality I need and nothing more.
But when I need mapping etc I do have an alternative.
My alternative cost me £100, it has bluetooth, wifi and GPS, has open source maps as well as google maps. It also has a built-in camera and enough storage to save several HD movies to it (if I want), it's waterproof AND it's able to call and text people.
Pretty good for an old phone!
Yeah, that's the obvious choice, but I don't think I've ever had a phone that is properly (torrential rain) waterproof and useable with gloves, which has a battery that'll last for 8 hours with screen/navigation on. As such, it's a separate satnav gizmo for me.
The touchscreen, on my 510 has just died (well most of the time), so deciding whether to spend the £96 for garmin to replace it, or change to a different model. Don't really want to change brands as have the speed / cadence sensors on all the bikes.
ANT+ isn't unique to Garmin. Should work with any other computer using it. It's Garmin that are compatible with fewer peripherals as they don't support BT LE iirc.

Spend the £96 on a new one. Sell it on eBay. Get a Wahoo. Your sensors will still work.

Solution Preview
(1) Research a current or historic landmark legal case related to either informed consent or evaluation and reports in court. Provide a brief description of this case, with full citations.
Cases involving Informed consent have emerged in the literature based on the (1972) landmark case of Canterbury vs. Spence. The case of Canterbury vs. Spense gave legal and medical authority to the "reasonable" person standard in informed consent. The case involved a patient who had undergone surgery for a herniated disc, and became paralyzed after the surgery. In establishing the ruling, the court ruled that the average person has little or no understanding of the medical arts and ordinarily has only the physician to whom he or she can look to for enlightment to reach an intelligent decision (Canterbury v. Spense as cited in Brenner, & Bal, 2008). Based on this legal standard of informed consent, the reasonable person standard and disclosures containing information about the risks and benefits of treatment resulted in many cases based on the landmark decision.
Reasonable disclosures refers to all information that a reasonable person might want, including proposed treatments , risks and benefits before providing informed consent to treatment and/or medication (Quaid, Faden, Vinning, & Freeman, 1989). Primarily, in the psychology discipline, informed consent as it related to this decision focused on risk associated with allegations concerning recovered memories. For example, an Appeals Court upheld a decision based on Canterbury vs. Spence based upon a ...

Hello everyone, I want to use Personality Insights in a certain way: a) run the Personality Insights on a customer-generated text. Let's call the customer... Gabi. b) I have a message template (a text) that I want to use for a personalized email. I will personalise this text with Gabi's name. c) Is there a way that I can use the output from "a" to change and adapt "b" in such a way that the message would better speak to the personality of customer Gabi? I would expect some words in the message to be changed with their synonyms, perhaps the text structure would be modified too. etc. Many Thanks for helping out, Lucien

On 2004's I'll Be Here Awake, Arthur Yoria quickly established himself as one of the Houston area's most interesting musicians. His tales of lovelorn angst set against melodic pop made for an infectious combination that drew fans worldwide, and his live shows — whether full-band powerhouses, stripped-down, electronic-backed performances or simple acoustic-guitar sets — practically made him a household name among local music fans. Since then, however, he's steadily grown away from the all-out pop of his earlier work; 281, available only at shows, furthers the different direction of 2007's Handshake Smiles. Yoria's tongue-in-cheek humor is intact on 281's "The Libyans" ("I just want to play my golden fiddle"), "I Don't Wear Red" ("I'm the one who stays when you leave, but I'm the one who gets free beer") and the all-too-personal "Don't Mess With My Rectum If You Like My Erection." But the experimental pop storytelling of "I'm The Cold One," the sedate "Tell Me I'm Wrong" and stoner-rific "Blue" — not to be confused with Yoria's similarly mellow ode to Xanax, live favorite "Little Blue" — are 281's high points. Recalling his past anxiety and seemingly constant relationship issues, the songs are obvious outlets for Yoria's insecurities; he sings about what everyone feels but hardly anyone ever discusses. 281 shows a maturing Yoria comfortable enough with himself to again push the boundaries of his music.

Romney and Huckabee, What a Choice
You know you're really wrong when Mike Huckabee can call you out. But that's the situation Mitt Romney finds himself in, as Michael Cannon points out below. Huckabee says Romney's government-run health care plan with an individual mandate is a bad idea, Romney says he's still proud of his plan, which is totally different from President Obama's government-run health care plan with an individual mandate. But really, what can he do? In 17 years of seeking high political office, he is known for two things: changing his position on a surprisingly large number of issues, and his Massachusetts health care program. Which was of course the forerunner of Obamacare, as Michael Cannon and I pointed out in the video that Michael linked. So Romney is still defending a position I think we've already refuted.
Meanwhile, in speeches and interviews this week, Mike Huckabee continues to make the untenable connection between gay marriage and family breakdown that I discussed two weeks ago in the Los Angeles Times. Huckabee told reporters:
Huckabee opposes gay marriage on the grounds that, according to him, it destroys traditional families.
"There is a quantified impact of broken families," Huckabee said. "[There is a] $300 billion dad deficit in America every year...that's the amount of money that we spend as taxpayers to pick up the pieces because dads are derelict in their duties."
But what's the connection? As I wrote:
One thing gay couples are not doing is filling the world with fatherless children. Indeed, it's hard to imagine that allowing more people to make the emotional and financial commitments of marriage could cause family breakdown or welfare spending....
Social conservatives point to a real problem and then offer phony solutions.
But you won't find your keys on the thoroughfare if you dropped them in the alley, and you won't reduce the costs of social breakdown by keeping gays unmarried and preventing them from adopting orphans.
One might add that, as Huckabee knows very well, rates of divorce and unwed motherhood soared decades before anyone started agitating for gay marriage.
If Huckabee and Romney are the Republican frontrunners, President Obama must be sleeping well these days.

I love it when I get non-school related products to review! It keeps things fresh and interesting. :)
This review is all about my experience with a natural health/beauty products company called BeeYoutiful.
BeeYoutiful derives its name from one of their main ingredients: bee pollen. Now of course, not every product contains bee pollen, but it sure does lend itself to a rather catchy moniker, wouldn't you say?
As part of the TOS Homeschool Crew, I received their Milk & Honey Facial Bar for review.
The Milk & Honey Facial Bar consists of "Two natural treasures in one bar of soap (which) help repair sores, fight acne, soothe chapping, and balance uneven or oily skin. Bee products—honey, propolis, pollen and wax—meet goat milk to clean up the toughest skin problems you can muster." ~BeeYoutiful.com
It contains: Raw Goat Milk, Distilled Water, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Vitamin E Oil, Vegetable Oil, Sodium Hydroxide (lye), Raw Honey, Bee Pollen, Bee Propolis, Beeswax, Sweet Orange Essential Oil
With my monthly acne flare-ups (thank you, lousy genetics), dry patches resulting from other acne medications, and extreme sensitivity to fragrance, oils and whatever else you can think of, I was eager to put this product to the test. ;o) I figured if it worked, it'd be a miracle in itself.
What I first noticed about the bar was the odd smell. It kind of reminded me of feet. Not the cute baby kind, either. I couldn't detect the sweet orange oil at all. But once I lathered it up, the funky smell completely evaporated. Nice!
The lather itself is rich and foamy and felt really nice on my skin. It didn't irritate, burn or sting. (Something I'm used to experiencing with other facial cleansers.) Additionally, it rinsed off well and didn't leave any slimy or drying residue behind, whatsoever. (Wow!)
Afterwards, my skin looked and felt clean. Not shiny, not red, not dry or tight. Just clean and balanced. Oh..my…goodness! (Now I was really getting excited!)
I continued to use the facial bar every morning/night for a full month. I noticed how "normal" my skin looked and every time a little blemish dared to show up, it never got bigger than a tiny dot.
Always being one to push the envelope just a smidge, I decided to pull out all the stops last night and eat (horrors!) junk food. Now normally this sort of indulgence always—and I mean always—leads to a break out. I don't care what you've read or what you believe. If I eat a handful of Doritos, a Twix bar, or a piece of cake—I pay for it in the form of extra calories and a pimple or three. Every single time.
This time was, unfortunately, no exception. HOWEVER…I am pleased to report that the acne seems significantly less "angry" looking and not nearly as large in size.
Hmm…I think the good folks at BeeYoutiful have a new lifetime customer on their hands!
The Milk & Honey Facial Bar is available in two sizes:
- 1.75 oz for $5
- or 4.25 oz for $10. The larger bar (the one I received) actually comes shaped like a cute little beehive. ;)
I can't say enough good things about this product. Not only am I extremely impressed with its performance, but it's a HUGE savings in comparison to other OTC acne or other skin care product lines. I was having to buy my other facial wash every 3.5 weeks, but even after a full month of use, my little "beehive" isn't even half gone! Woohoo!
To learn more about this or BeeYoutiful's wide range of health and beauty products including supplements and essential oils, please click here.
I'm very pleased to award this product two thumbs up! :)

At an event in Davos, Switzerland earlier today, Former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Larry Summers, argued that Central Bank independence from national governments should be scrapped in favor of a coordinated effort between politicians, central bankers and treasury to engineer inflation. Seems reasonable, right?...what could possibly go wrong?
According to Market Watch, Summers argued that Central Bank independence came from "an understanding of the macroeconomic policy problem that is not relevant to current times." Ironically, he argued that Central Bank "insulation" was required in the 70s/80s when the "White House" and "Congress" could not be trusted to fight inflation.
So does this indicate that Summers' baseline assumption is that politicians today are more trustworthy than in the 70s/80s? Perhaps Summers is the one that is "insulated" from reality? Is it possible that he's completely missed the fact that one of our presidential candidates is currently under multiple investigations by the FBI for various allegations of corruption and fraud? Meanwhile, both presidential candidates are polling at among the lowest rates ever experienced for "trustworthiness" while the job approval rating of Congress has never been lower...but sure, we should grant them even more power to wreak havoc on the U.S. economy for political gain...why not?
Central bank independence "comes from an understanding of the macroeconomic policy problem that is not relevant to current times," Summers said in a speech at the International Monetary Fund.
Central bank insulation was needed in the 1970s and 1980s to combat inflation, Summers said. That's because the White House and Congress sometimes saw the short-run benefits of unexpected inflation, while the Fed kept its eyes on the long-run costs, he said.
But that was yesterday's problem, Summers said. The economy now faces secular stagnation, or a chronic lack of demand.
To fight this, the Treasury should be issuing bonds with long maturities taking advantage of current ultra-low interest rates, Summers said. And the Fed should try not get in the way.
Apparently Summers is under the impression that inflation will never again be an issue in the United States and therefore sees little harm in granting politicians the keys to the financial market rigging machine known as the Fed.
In the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, the Treasury and the Fed often worked at cross purposes. he said. While government spending was rising and the Treasury was selling debt, the Fed was moving in the opposite direction, buying bonds though quantitative easing program for the purpose of shortening the maturity structure to provide stimulus.
In the future, Summers said the two agencies should cooperate to make sure the full benefits of the stimulus reach the economy.
Summers said he was aware that market experts would be leery of such cooperation between the fiscal authority and the central bank out of a concern that inflation may jump.
"I regard that as a virtue, rather than a vice, of the suggestion that I am making in our current environment," the former Treasury secretary said.
Of course, the White House and it's political appointees would never try to exploit their power for political gain, right?
I said sources described an "avalanche of evidence" in case & barring obstruction they'd likely continue 2 push to try for an indictment" https://t.co/2TjzxdJod1

This article was originally published on September 3 2009, at the time of the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War
Looking conspiratorial, Joy Hunter opens a carrier bag and produces two lumps of rock that could be relics of a geological field trip. They are brownish marble with white speckles. "Chunks of Hitler's desk that we found in the Chancellery. Everything was in ruins. I'm not sure whether we should have taken souvenirs, but we all had a piece."
By "all", she means the elite secretariat that was part of Churchill's entourage to Berlin in July 1945 for the Potsdam conference of victorious Allies. She dips into the bag again and comes out with several beribboned crosses of the Wehrmacht, the German military. "They were lying all over the floor in one of the rooms."
She was shocked by the devastation of Berlin. "There was the stench of death everywhere. On the streets we saw pathetic groups, trudging wearily along in search of wood for fuel. They were willing to give you anything for some cigarettes, or better still a bar of chocolate. To be honest, I felt mightily embarrassed by the victory parade when Churchill took the salute. It seemed awful. I didn't feel at all victorious."
Until recently, Joy hadn't dwelt much on her secret work in the Cabinet War Office or even her luck, as a supersecretary, to be invited to Potsdam. She had to get on with the rest of her life: three young children to bring up alone after the sudden death of her husband from polio, and several demanding careers. Now aged 84, and with many of her contemporaries dead, she is a prime living witness. Her recollections of working underground at the hub of war planning – she knew in advance all the D-Day movements of troops – form part of a 70th anniversary exhibition at the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms.
The German medals and fragments of desk are not her only booty. In the British delegation's grand house in Kaiser Strasse, there was evidence that the family had fled in panic as the Allies moved into the capital – toys, books, scattered papers and abandoned knitting.
In a cupboard, Joy found a photograph album with "Wehrmachts Photoalbum" stamped in gold on its black spine. It was just what she needed to record her impressions of those historic weeks. The diary is interleaved with dance invitations, menus (always in French) and official passes – reminders of the post-war social whirl that ran parallel with work. A typescript is now in the Imperial War Museum.
"The Potsdam conference was the absolute cream and very thrilling," she says. "You had a great sense of history. I shook hands with Stalin and Truman. Stalin was exactly as I expected him to look: in uniform with that great moustache."
Joy Milward had wanted to be a nurse but her parents sent her to Mrs Hoster's Secretarial College, near Stamford in Lincolnshire. "My mother, who was a bit of a snob, said 'Daddy will pay.' " But Daddy was a vicar earning about £300 a year and Mrs Hoster's cost £90 for six months. "I just don't know how they found the money. It was like a finishing school. They trained us for the best jobs, and then got them for us."
Joy joined the War Cabinet office in January 1944, aged 18, having turned down a job at No 10 because she wanted to complete her course. At first, she was in a typing pool of 60 or more girls, arranged in rows of four. Because of her superior qualifications – as a stenographer, she could do shorthand as well as type – she was seconded to different departments, ending up in the underground Cabinet war offices. "The first thing we knew was that we were locked in. Marines guarded the doors and we had to be buzzed in and out. I remember one soldier who passed the time doing the most beautiful needlework. He was making a cushion cover.
"We had Royal typewriters and terrible carbons. Typing on a wax stencil is extraordinarily difficult. You have to have a carbon underneath otherwise you can't read it and to correct it you have to have something like nail varnish which made it very crisp and difficult to type over. I have a recurring fantasy that I took dictation from Churchill but I am not sure if I did. I didn't work for him directly. In the war room, his cigar smoke permeated everything."
Rudimentary air conditioning struggled to overcome the fug of cigarette smoke and bodies. "Everyone smoked and no one used deodorant in those days. As you can imagine, there were moments of extreme claustrophobia." The girls were escorted to the lavatories twice a day in groups. Sometimes they worked round the clock and slept underground on wooden bunks with coarse sheets. But most nights Joy returned "home" to a dingy Church Army hostel near Paddington station where she would regularly have to kick incendiary bombs off the roof. "People ask me if I was frightened," she says. "I find that a strange question. There was no time to be frightened.
"At work, we were handling very secret material so we were not allowed to keep diaries and we were bound by the Official Secrets Act. It didn't worry me one bit. I never felt any urge to tell anybody. My family knew where I worked but they had no idea what I did. I never thought about work once I had left the building.
"Because we were working at the nerve centre, we got notification of all the air raids. I once rang my aunt to say: 'It's not a very good day to go to the library' because I knew the library in Finchley Road had been wiped out by a V2. I helped type the battle day orders for D-Day, so we knew about the massive movement of troops well before it happened. We knew the date and who was going where.
"We worked under tremendous pressure but there was fun as well. It wasn't all grim. Although it was just work, work, work, everybody was doing it so it didn't seem a drag. We had no expectations of a social life. Work was adrenaline. It was exciting. It was the most important thing – that and keeping alive."
Joy Hunter belongs to a remarkable breed of women – unshowy, courageous, with an appetite for life sharpened by privation – who were shaped by war and took nothing for granted for the rest of their lives. She has worked continuously for 67 years. Even when her children were babies, she typed book manuscripts. After her war room experience, she became personal secretary to Prof Lionel Robbins, of the LSE, accompanying him to Washington with John Maynard Keynes, the economist.
Her parents were deeply impressed when she became secretary to the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace, far more so than by her War Office work. While there, she met and married an architect, Noel Hunter, but their time together was short. After less than seven years, with three small children and a fourth on the way, they both contracted polio. Noel died within days – leaving an overdraft of 29 shillings and no will. He was 32. Joy couldn't attend his funeral because she was in an isolation hospital. The baby she was carrying was stillborn four months later, on Christmas Day, 1956. "I was beside myself with grief and shock. But I had to manage. I had to get on. Every time I thought of turning the gas oven on, I had to remember the children. We had very little money but some things are still possible if motivation is there."
Largely by correspondence courses, she began furiously acquiring diplomas and degrees. For three years she was in charge of educational studies at the National Book League, then became a teacher and eventually deputy head of a 1,500-pupil girls' grammar. From teaching, she was head-hunted by the NHS as a health education advisor. She gained her last qualification, a distinction in applied theology, at the age of 74.
Joy still works two and a half days a week as a manager at Age Concern Surrey. She's usually in the office by 7.30am, using her immaculate shorthand for meetings and notes of phone calls.
"Energy is a God-given gift," she says. "People who are not energetic can't make themselves so. I'm not in favour of enforced retirement – although I feel sorry for young people without jobs."
She lives in the family house in Guildford where she and her husband moved six months before his death. Never having talked to her children about her part in the war, excavating those memories has been a release. "Thank you for opening doors and helping me remember," she wrote to me after our meeting. "It has proved cathartic and perhaps now I shall be able to write some of it down."
"It's much more fun looking back than it was at the time," she says. "Everyone's so interested and questions bring up things long buried, long forgotten.
"I don't believe we should live in the past, but we shouldn't forget it either. We should learn from it. But we don't seem to have done and maybe we never will."

Multiple people have asked me if I heard of Bitcoin, if I am so IT person why I am not investing into cryptocurrency, or asked how much I earned once I told them that am I already investing, or asked if I do trading after they noticed in Checkout page that I accept crypto payments.
After discussing privately with few people, I am writing this page to explain to everyone my journal of crypto trading. Page published May 2018.
Information for newbies
Today there are over 1000 cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency invented in 2009 and as 2018 it remains the dominant cryptocurrency. Each cryptocurrency have a limited supply of coins and the value of each coin is decided by how many people are purchasing it. CoinMarketCap.com multiply coin value with circulation supply to estimate market capitalization of each coin, the total market cap of all coins has grown from 15 billion USD in January 2017 to 830 billion USD in January 2018, and value of coins grown accordingly.
Most money sits in exchanges, and most exchanges use Bitcoin as primary currency, people buy altcoins with Bitcoin and sell altcoins to get back Bitcoin. When a coin is listed in an exchange or integrated in some product, people rush to buy it and its value rise. When something negative appears in the news, Bitcoin fall as people sell it to flat money, altcoins fall even more because people panic and sell altcoins back to Bitcoin.
Trading cryptocurrencies is like playing at casino, for someone to win, someone else need to lose, but while casinos have a house edge of 1-5%, the cryptocurrency market is rising over time so you are more likely to win than to lose.
Being a successful crypto trader means to spend significant time reading news spread on Reddit community, Twitter, watch daily YouTube live streams made by famous crypto investors, you need to invest few thousand dollars otherwise profits will not cope time spent. Focus on cryptocurrencies with low marketshare that have potential of growing in the future and stay away from those with no future development planned. Do not invest more that you can afford to lose!
My story in cryptocurrency trading
I heard first time about Bitcoin in 2013, but did not paid attention to it, in November 2013 while playing a game, other players asked me in-game chat if I know what is Bitcoin, I said that is an online payment system similar with PayPal, we argued a bit because he claimed that 1 Bitcoin does have a value and 1 PayPal does not. 2 days later I saw on TV news programme how Bitcoin was invented and rose in value to over 1000 USD. This was the first time I realized that Bitcoin is not just an online payment system but an alternative currency. By the time I wanted to know more about it, it collapsed sharply. So I never wanted to hear again about this shit.
In June 2017, Alex, an online friend that I knew for 9 years, IT businessman, bring me the subject of cryptocurrency, for the first time I realized that there is not just Bitcoin, but several hundreds coins that can be traded, he said that have mined several coins and starting from May 2017 he is exchanging coins. Initially I was afraid of this, reminding 2013 Bitcoin crash that dropped value to nearly $200 in 2015, but in August 2017 I decided to join the crypto trading world.
I made an account in Bittrex.com and ordered some Bitcoins via Litebit.eu where I transferred some flat money from bank and put as receiver address the Bittrex.com wallet, then on Bittrex I traded Bitcoin with other coins.
That times 1 Bitcoin valued around $4000 and dominance was 48%, Initially I put $100, but in September I bought $2000 worth of Bitcoin. I spread all money into several Altcoins which I traded badly, leaving me with only $1500, during October the Bitcoin rose in dominance to over 60% so if I kept money in Bitcoin without trading I would had at least $3000.
In November 2017 I had biggest profit when I bought Bitcoin Cash in stages at around 0.10-0.12 BTC when I saw it rising. Next morning I was shocked to see that Bitcoin Cash reached 0.40+ BTC thanks to Koreans trading on Bithumb and suddenly collapsed to 0.20 BTC because Bithumb website overloaded and crashed. Many people said that Bitcoin Cash will rise again and will become dominant over original Bitcoin so I did not sold it, I keep holding, and although it had another rise to 0.30 BTC, it continued to fall slowly and sold it too late.
In December 2017 I made a lot of profits when total crypto marketshare doubled pushed heavily by South Koreans and Bitcoin dominance dropped to 33%, I put money in about 30 altcoins which some of them surged 10x in value compared with Bitcoin. The coins did not rose simultaneously, so the lucky guys who had Dash and sold it after rise and immediately buying Cardano and Ripple, could have made over 50x profits. Personally I bought Ripple and Cardano and sold them after initial surge without being aware that they will continue to surge again. I made most profit with Verge which was sleeping at 50-60 satoshi in early December, when I saw it rising on 16 December I bought $300 at 175 satoshi and by 24 December it reached 1900 satoshi, I sold half at 780 on 21th and half at 1330 satoshi on 25th, having profit 7x in one week, regretting for not buying more Verge. But not all coins I bought rose, what I lost from some coins hardly coped the profit from other coins.
On 5th January 2018 total market cap reached over 800 billions and my coins valued $20.000 / 1.2 BTC (from initial investment of about $5000). That day some rumors that South Korea may ban cryptocurrencies, causing a major fall of altcoins, few days later when government confirmed that will not ban them, market started to recover so I spread my Bitcoins into several altcoins that were inflated by South Koreans and deflated by ban rumors, but this was followed by additional rumours of banning and regulations from multiple countries as well as Facebook and Google who banned ICO ads, causing marketshare to drop to 250 billions as March 2018. My money dropped from $20.000 / 1.2 BTC to $5.000 / 0.6 BTC.
Lucky guys those who sold coins at January peak for Tether (USDT) which is a cryptocurrency paired to US dollar rather than volatile by market demands, and bought back coins after they felt in value.
As April 2018, the marketshare started to rise again and altcoins surge in comparison with Bitcoin.
Someone informed me that he is buying same coin multiple times to sell at peaks and re-buy in the dips. I tried to do the same, I bought Musicoin at 520, sold at 700, bought at 600, sold half at 800 and keep other half thinking that will rise even more but it felt down to 200 so I ended losing more than I won. In other cases I sold at all-time high thinking that will follow a dip, but actually it rose even more so I failed to fully profit from it.
Note: screenshots were made at the time I and Alex were online at same time, for purpose to show him, I did not took screenshots for purpose on publishing on my website (because I had no intention to write this article until May 2018), otherwise I would have been more careful to take screenshots on regular basis and without visible tabs.

Celebrity Homes in the Heights of Luxury (GALLERY)
Let's face it: Lavish living and celebrity go hand in hand. Rarely will you find a property owned by an A-lister (or even B-lister) for less than a few million big ones. But -- in most cases -- these jaw-dropping price tags really do translate into a level of luxury unrivaled by any others, except those of certain business magnates.
From Oprah's swanky Chicago co-op, to President Obama's former summer retreat in Martha's Vineyard, to David Spade's luxurious Malibu beach house, the celebrity homes we've thrown together in this weekend's gallery are no exception to the rule of thumb that "rich and famous" equals truly mind-blowing houses.
Click through our gallery to see some of the most beautiful homes owned or connected to celebrities.

One of the main towns we drive through every day to get the kids to and from school is Brasilito, which is a traditional beachside town in Costa Rica that is home to many locals. The main square has many local restaurants called "sodas" serving the typical Costa Rican dishes like Arroz con Pollo and Cosados. This is also the place you'll also find some souvenir shops, catch the local bus or grab a taxi. You'll also find fruit for sale on the side of the road, which is totally safe to buy and eat. Locals will set up small stands to sell Mamon Chino, Sandia {watermelon) and Aguacate (avocado).
Mamon Chino's are are an ugly looking round fruit that is pink or red in color with black or green hairy fur, but inside is a sweet grape like fruit that is super yummy! Never judge a fruit by it's cover;) And Costa Rica has some of the biggest avocados I've ever seen in my life!
Brasilito also has a a little skate park for kids.
Don Brasalitos is a local favorite but when you enter you'll instantly feel the American bar type atmosphere, thanks to the Harley Davidson t-shirts hanging on the wall and the 80's rock music videos playing on the big screens. It's a motorcycle type bar across from the beach. It has a large room with plenty of seating and a huge bar, there is also a mini casino (machines) if you want to try your Costa Rican luck. They serve traditional Costa Rican food, typical bar food and have nice happy hour specials.
Brasilito beach is also the way to Playa Conchal, a tricky beach to get to. You have to literally drive on Brasilito beach to get to Playa Conchal. This is confusing for many. If you drive to the end of the main road in Brasilito towards the beach you will go left and drive down onto the beach. It will feel odd, but you'll see other tire tracks. Keep going until you hit a wooded area and then through the woods a bit and then you are there!
Brasalitto is a true local town, and it sits in the middle of some of the best beaches in Costa Rica. It is completely safe during the day but can get a little sketchy late at night.
