I am very interested to hear the end results of the testing. I was all set to buy a Brooks. Once I heard about these, I am leaning toward the Anatomica. My current saddle kills my butt.
Selle vs Brooks: No breakin period for Selle and you don't need to treat the leather.

I just finished a 50 mile ride and I don't feel the need to adjust on my saddle. We did however apply one turn of the tension bolt on my friends today. Both of us are just as pleased as we can be with this saddle.

On my older SA Clydesdale saddle, I haven't touched the adjustment bolt in ages. On my newer Titanico (CroMo frame), I actually loosened the bolt until there was noticeable play, then I tightened it until there was just a little play in the nose. I'm just over 200#, so I'm probably one of the few who actually prefers more flex.
I like bikes. Oh, and doughnuts, too.
I just ordered Selle An-Atomica saddle #3. Is there an N+1 rule for saddles?
I like bikes. Oh, and doughnuts, too.
If there is that would be N+2. What color did you get? I have the mahogany color. I liked it because it looked old school and my bike is a 82 Raleigh. Well the frame is 82 every thing else has been upgraded and changed several times. It was repainted in 92 and powdered coated last month (blue and gold). Wheels are Mavic open pros with Ultegra hubs, new 105 cranks and bottom bracket, 105 front and rear der. New Nitto drop bars with front and rear Dinotte lights, and Ultegra bar end shifters.

Is the Beta test over? Is the new saddle out?
Squeeeee... I got the brown that was on sale in the mail this weekend.... been on it inside on the trainer and I REALLY like it so far. I'm really glad I got the sale one- with customs and international shipping it was as much as full price! Had to dish out 32 euros in customs and VAT. Now I need some matching brown tape for my drops!
It seems a little long nosed for a women and I wonder if they will ever make a women's version. Other than that, it's much better on my bones than the Selle Royal I had prior. WOOOT

Rona, good choice on the saddle, I think it is a great value at any price. I can tolerate almost any discomfort except sore sit bones. If you do any long distance riding you are going to love it.
SloSpoke Jim
For those that might be following this thread, I did a 82 mile ride today and my bottom could not be any happier. A friend of mine that has one of the Selle saddles was with me today and he is as happy with his saddle as I am with mine.

I've had a SA for about three months. I liked its comfort from the first, but its final test was an organized century ride (Palm Springs) a week ago. Conditions were awful, and my arms ached for days from holding the bike steady against 60 mph crosswinds. But my bottom felt fine; not a twinge of discomfort. I've ridden a dozen centuries with a variety of saddles under me, but never anything that felt this good. I'm about 200 lbs and bought the Titanico. It stretched enough during the first month so that I was worried, but I haven't had to adjust the tension in many weeks. I couldn't be happier.

Here's an excellent piece on the subject- http://www.ultraracenews.com/2011/11...ycling-events/
If anyone is interested the Titanico X is available special order. 619-269-1120 9-5 PST.
I owe-therefore I am.
I emailed these guys and asked if the saddle was available. They told me to go ahead and order on the website and put in the paypal notes I wanted the X and they would build me one.
After reading this thread, I had to try one. when I was being fitted I spent about an hour and a half on the trainer and my but hurt for 3 days.
I know it gets better and all that, but hey, if I can avoid, or minimize, why not.

New home settling concerns...
I know that new homes "settle" but it's only been 3 months... How much cracking, separation, etc. is normal for a new house and over what period of time should it be expected?
Hairline cracks in concrete are often shrinkage cracks and not a concern from a structural viewpoint. If no reinforcing was used in the concrete and/or insufficiernt ground prep was performed before pouring, it could get worse and need attemntion but nine time out of ten, it is nothing to worry about.
The wood showing gaps inside is less likely from 'settleing' that it is from the wood framing members drying and shrinking. Frame lumber is kiln dried to 19% surface moisture but may get rained on during construction. Paint and SR mud add a lot of moisture to a house during construction too. Then comes the dry winter months and the wood shrinks up. some modest gaps appear.
Only if it keeps getting worse, should you be concerned and pursue it. A little caulk and paint will fix it up once it stops shrinking, usually after one thermal cycle
You wouldn't buy a car that had poorly fitting doors and windows or unbalanced tires without the dealer fixing them first. Neither should you purchase a new house showing signs of needing touchup. Make it a condition of sale that he will take care of your concerns in a way that satisfys you. Hiring an experienced home inspector might help. It is iomportant to find an experienced one tho. Two week schools crank out diploms for this unregulated field for anyone who sits in on the classes so you don't want someone who just finished the training.

Golden Lily: Bloodlines Book 2, The (eBook)
Author: Richelle Mead
Book #2 in the bestselling Bloodlines series by international superstar and author of Vampire Academy, Richelle Mead.
When a shocking secret threatens to tear the vampire world apart, Sydney's loyalties are suddenly tested more than ever before.
Should she trust the Alchemists – or her heart?
Sydney's been sent into hiding at a posh boarding school in Palm Springs, California – tasked with protecting Moroi princess Jill Dragomir from assassins who want to throw the Moroi court into civil war. Formerly in disgrace, Sydney is now praised for her loyalty and obedience, and held up as the model of an exemplary Alchemist.
The closer she grows to Jill, Eddie, and especially Adrian, the more she finds herself questioning her age-old Alchemist beliefs. Her world is complicated when magical experiments show Sydney may hold the key to prevent becoming Strigoi – the fiercest vampires, the ones who don't die. Her fear of being special, magical, powerful, is almost as daunting as her new romance with Brayden, a cute, brainy guy who seems to be her match in every way. Yet, as perfect as he seems, Sydney finds herself being drawn to someone else – someone forbidden to her.

Exposure to food promotion influences food preferences and diet. As food advertisements tend to promote 'less healthy' products, food advertising probably plays some role in the 'obesity epidemic'. Amid calls for increased regulation, food manufacturers are beginning to engage in a variety of health-promoting marketing initiatives. Positioning products in the context of a 'healthy', balanced diet in television advertisements is one such initiative. We explored whether the wider food context in which foods are advertised on television are 'healthier' than the advertised foods themselves. All foods shown in food advertisements broadcast during 1 week on one commercial UK channel were identified and classified as 'primary' (i.e. the focus of advertisements) or 'incidental'. The nutritional content of all foods was determined and that of primary and incidental foods were compared. Almost two-thirds of food advertisements did not include any incidental foods. When a wider food context was present, this tended to be 'healthier' than the primary foods that were the focus of food advertisements – particularly in terms of the food groups represented. It is not yet clear what effect this may have on consumers' perceptions and behaviour, and whether or not this practice should be encouraged or discouraged from a public health perspective.

Mrs. McTats and Her Houseful of Cats (2001)
by Alyssa Satin Capucilli
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Enjoyed the illustrations in this children's book even more than the story.
Mrs. McTats lived very happily with her cat Abner, in a small cozy cottage on the outskirts of her village. Every morning she would go to market, and every day she would prepare their meal. And then came a scratching at the door, and Basil and Curly walked in. Was there room for two more cats? Of course - the more the merrier! Then the next day, three more cats showed up on the doorstep... and then more after them! Just how many felines was too many...?
As a confirmed cat-lover, one who thinks of "cat lady" as a compliment, I really expected to adore Mrs. McTats and Her Houseful of Cats, but somehow, despite its obvious virtues, I just couldn't take it entirely to heart. I think this tale of Mrs. McTats and her growing feline family will probably be very engaging for younger readers, who will enjoy hearing it read aloud, but it didn't do much for me. The illustrations by South African artist Joan Rankin, on the other hand, were quite charming - I loved Abner's dubious expression throughout! I wavered on my star rating with this one, but my enjoyment of the artwork, and my consciousness that I may not have been in the right mood for it, had me settling on three, rather than two stars. Recommended to young cat lovers, and to readers looking for stories that can also be used to introduce the alphabet.
A delightful, rhyming, ABC story about a lady that adopts cats.
Mrs. McTats lives in a small little cottage with one cat. Then as the days go by more and more cats scratch at the door to join them. As they make their way in she names them, each starting with a letter from the alphabet. She ends up with 25 cats with a name from A to Y, then one little puppy scratches at the door and she names him zoom. Great book to use to teach the alphabet and counting.
Mrs. McTats starts off just having one cat. Each time she goes to the market there seems to be more cats waiting at her front door. She takes them all in until there are 25 of them. She names each one of them starting with a and ending with z.
This book took me by surprise. I had no idea that it was about the ABC's. I love cats myself but I could not believe that she was taking in all of these cats, and then it tells you at the very end that she lived happily with all her cats a to z. It is very clever.
This could be done with lessons about ABC's and teach children that not only things can start with letters of the alphabet but names can as well.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0689869916, Paperback)"In a small, cozy cottage lived Mrs. McTats. She lived all alone, except for one cat." This is only true for a page or two. In time, more and more cats scratch on her door, and somehow, every time, she seems to find room for them. "'Come in, my sweet dears,' said Mrs. McTats. 'I'm sure I've got room for just two more cats. I'll call you Basil, and Curly you'll be. I only had one cat, but now I have three!'" She names them in alphabetical order, from her original, Abner, to the final arrival, number 26--named Zoom. Joan Rankin's endearing illustrations of all the new four-legged family members--along with Mrs. McTats's easy hospitality--will charm the socks off your youngsters so much they won't realize it's an alphabet and counting book combined!

FAQs 1. How can the 52-ppm Di520 be "faster" than printer/copiers rated at higher speeds? Productivity with digital printer/copiers is even more pronounced with some digital printer/copiers such as the Di520 as compared to similar speed analog copiers. This is due to the processing power available to maximize performance of a document. Subsequently, a "slower" digital printer/copier (rated engine speed) can often times be far more productive overall than "faster" analog copiers. It is important to look at the total effort in creating a finished document from creation to measure the overall performance of a printing/copying system. For the Di520, this includes the ability to directly print a job from a PC and create finished documents including hole punching, stapling and folding if desired. 2. What is the difference between "Proof Set" and "Sample Set?" Some manufacturers of digital printer/copiers offer "Sample Set" versus "Proof Set" as options for the end-user to select when copying. Either way, the end-user scans in all of the originals, makes their copying function selections and prints out one copy to see how copies look. This is where the similarities end. With Sample Set, the decision is to "go" or "no go." This means if the output is not what was desired (e.g. they forgot to select threehole punch), they have to "dump" the entire job and rescan the originals starting from scratch. With Proof Set, the decision is to "go" or "edit." This means if the output is not what was desired (again - they forgot to select three-hole punch), all they have to do is edit the copying directly on the copier control panel and re-output the job from the copier's memory. The Di520 can be equipped with an optional Hard Disk Drive Kits both have job "Proofing" capability, not just sample set. 3. What is the maximum paper capacity of the Di520 system? Minolta offers two different optional Large Capacity Cassettes (LCCs) for the Di520. The Letter (portrait) sized paper LCC has a capacity of 3,400 sheets. The Landscape LCC has a capacity of 3,000 Letter-R or Legal sheets of paper. Combined with the standard paper capacity of 3,850 sheets, the maximum paper capacity of a Di520 could be 7,250 or 6,850 depending on which LCC was chosen.

4. Can the optional C-304L handle both Letter-R and Legal paper without any technical adjustments? Yes, the C-304L can accept either Letter-R or Legal paper without any adjustments to it at all. 5. When would a customer want the RAM upgrade versus the HDD on the Di520? Upgrading RAM and adding the HDD to the Di520 are mutually exclusive options. The 16 MB RAM upgrade extends the base page memory from 200 pages to 400 total pages (@ 6% coverage). The 1GB HDD creates a total of 500 pages of memory in lieu of the RAM memory - they are not additive (i.e. one can not get 700 pages of memory by having both the 16MB RAM upgrade and the 1GB HDD). Although the Hard Disk Drive Kit costs significantly more than the RAM upgrade, it also enables the Di520 to perform additional significant functions. These include: Having a job queue of up to 10 jobs resident in the Di520. Editing the copy functions of a job in the queue. Creating a "Proof Set" and changing the copy functions if desired. Reprinting the job last printed ("Memory Recall"). Overlaying a pre-scanned image onto another original merging the two images together (e.g. copying the text of a letter onto a pre-scanned letterhead). "Job Lock" security function when printing from a computer.

In the Rasmussen Reports, 44% approve of Obama's over-all job performance, 55% disapprove. He should start to worry about what United States citizens think of him. Or maybe he is worrying, he turned gray really fast for his age.

Nice try, MDN. In my travels to Europe I can confirm the opinion of the US has changed to a more favorable one. Everyone I've spoken with hated Bush and were thrilled someone else was running the show.
A Gallup poll published on March 15th clearly illustrates my point, where the US and Germany were tied at 41%, which is up significantly from 2007.
Those darn facts again, always getting in the way of the MDN's agenda.

petrolbonce - Gotta nitpick a bit about your comment. Bautista's bike right now is far from semi-factory. The satellite riders might have started the year with the same basic setup as the Repsol guys, but it became clear very quick that the fact Gresini is using Showa instead of Ohlins is causing the team some major issues. While the LCR team with Bradl can use the plenty of data from the factory team and previous years, the Gresini team had to start from zero. So I think Bautista has been doing pretty well with the material he's got.
Concerning a comparison as to what Simoncelli might have done this year, that's always futile. And seeing how many front end crashes he had in MotoGP, a lack of front feeling with the Showa like Bautista cited so often, probably wouldn't have helped his hypothetical statistics either.

Goodbye France: Russia Grants Gerard Depardieu Citizenship
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
Gerard Depardieu is following through on his vow to distance himself from his home country of France. Months after he moved to avoid the Socialist governments ridiculous new 75% tax on the countrys highest earners, the actor applied for and was granted Russian citizenship by Vladimir Putin himself in an announcement made earlier this week.
Far from a random outsider, Depardieu has spent plenty of time in Russia over the past few years. He recently played Rasputin in a local film, is currently appearing in several commercials and has done charity work to raise money for causes in St. Petersburg on several occasions.
According to BBC, Russia taxes all citizens at thirteen percent of their income. Thats obviously only a fraction of what Depardieu would have paid in France, but if you take it from the aging star, this is about far more than money. Over the last forty-five-years, he put over one hundred and ninety million dollars back into the system in the form of taxes, and when he spoke up and complained about the new laws and said he would move, the powers that be called him pathetic.
Because of his popularity in Russia and the friendly relationship he shares with Putin, his new country was a natural choice. Its unclear when the paperwork might go through and Depardieu might formally renounce his French citizenship, but when that happens, well let you know.

I have been working for about 3 hours on this problem now, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a Zimbra server (latest version open source) running on Centos 5. Everything is great, except when I use the backup script that is posted on the wiki (a copy of mine is below) and schedule it through Cron to execute each night I cannot access the zimbra web pages until I manually perform a tomcat restart at the console. I can execute the script at the command line with no problems and have full access to the zimbra web pages except for the short time the zimbra is stoped and started during the script. I have checked to make sure that the cron job is running as the user root. I have attempted to restart tomcat through the script below however when I add those lines of code I receive the error that ldap might not be loaded. Please help.

Federal Court Denies Teen Experimental Muscular Dystrophy Drug
(AP Photo/The Fargo Forum, Darren Gibbins)
A small drug company doesn't have to give its experimental medicine to a terminally ill teenager, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday.
The decision overturned a lower court's ruling from earlier this year, revealing just how complicated this sort of thing can be.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia ruled the lower court "abused its discretion" when it ordered PTC Therapeutics to provide its experimental drug PTC124 to Jacob Gunvalson, a 17-year-old boy with a rare genetic called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Here's the report from the Associated Press.
Though the particulars vary from case to case, this sort of conflict has become rather common in recent years.
A sick patient without any good treatment options wants to take an experimental drug, but doesn't qualify for the studies being used to test the medicine. The company that makes the drug typically argues that providing it outside of clinical trials could harm patients in the long run — if, for example, the patient has unexpected side effects that hurt the drug's chances for approval, or if other patients decide they want access to the drug without enrolling in the clinical trials necessary to determine whether the medicine actually works.
In the case of Jacob Gunvalson, the family has argued that PTC initially led the family to believe that the boy would receive the drug (a claim PTC denies). The family's attorney told the AP yesterday's ruling was "a surprise, a huge disappointment, a real tragedy."
PTC's president called the ruling important "for the future of the clinical trial process for all experimental drugs for rare disease."
The lower court's ruling had been stayed pending appeal, so Gunvalson never received the drug. The family's legal team is weighing its options.

New thinking needed on helping kids
avoid or cope with homesickness, experts say
Newly published report gives childrens doctors and parents specific guidance for helping kids deal with summer camp, hospitalization and other separations
ANN ARBOR, MI – A new report urges parents and children's doctors to change their thinking about homesickness among children, to see it as a nearly universal but highly preventable and treatable phenomenon — rather than an unavoidable part of childhood.
The report, published in the journal Pediatrics, gives parents and physicians specific guidance to help anticipate and lessen the distress that homesickness can cause among kids and teens at summer camps, hospitals, boarding schools and colleges.
The paper's authors are a clinical psychologist at one of the nation's leading boarding schools, Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, and a University of Michigan physician who specializes in camp health issues. They're also old friends who first met at summer camp more than 25 years ago.
It's the first time that the evidence about homesickness prevention and treatment, which has been gathered through years of psychological studies, has been presented for pediatricians and family doctors to use.
The authors, and the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on School Health that sponsored the report, hope that those physicians will add homesickness counseling to children's camp and school physicals, and to the care of hospitalized children. They also point out special issues for children who have attention deficit disorder or developmental issues — for example, the importance of continuing the use of medications for those conditions while at camp and not taking a "drug holiday."
"For over 100 years camps and schools have patted homesick kids on the back, tried to keep them busy and hoped it will go away," says lead author Christopher Thurber, Ph.D., the staff psychologist at Exeter, research consultant to the American Camp Association and author of a camp handbook for parents. "But research shows that it's healthier, and more effective to think about prevention. This report aims to get the message to parents and those who are taking care of kids before they go to camp."
One of the basic tips for parents and doctors is to talk to kids ahead of any separation, whether it's for camp, college, or a hospital stay of even a few days.
"What parents say – and what pediatricians say — beforehand matters, and is very important for the intensity of homesickness," says Edward Walton, M.D., a U-M Health System assistant professor of emergency medicine and pediatrics who serves on the board of the American Camp Association and was lead author of a 2005 AAP guideline on summer camp health that was produced in conjunction with the ACA.
One of the most important things for parents and doctors to recognize, and to say to kids before any separation, is that it's normal, not strange, to feel homesick. In fact, research has shown that 90 percent of children attending summer camp feel some levels of homesickness and that 20 percent face a serious level of distress that — if untreated — worsens over time and interferes with their ability to benefit from a camp experience.
Thurber's recent research compared the effectiveness of key preparation tools to camps' standard preparation. The results showed that a combination of coaching parents and educating children about effective coping actually lowered the intensity of first-year campers' homesickness by 50 percent, on average.
The ACA now publishes a DVD-CD set, "The Secret Ingredients of Summer Camp Success," that makes these evidence-based homesickness prevention strategies publicly available for the first time. It also makes information available to parents online, as part of its effort to preserve, promote, and enhance the camp experience for children and adults. ACA is alsothe only national organization that accredits camps, which must meet up to 300 health and safety standards to gain accreditation.
In children whose separation from their parents is sudden and unplanned, such as hospitalization, as many as half experience moderate to severe homesickness that can interfere with their functioning. In fact, says Thurber, special care needs to be taken with children who are hospitalized for an indefinite amount of time, because even a casual remark by a physician or nurse about when the child might be able to go home can cause severe distress and even interfere with care if that date arrives and the child is still in the hospital.
For more routine separations, such as the million children who go away to school or the 12 million who attend residential (overnight) camp each year, homesickness can get in the way of the important character-building lessons that these experiences bring.
Some of the tips for parents and children's doctors:
All in all, summer camp and other separations from home can be great "life training" experiences for children, building their independence and teaching self-reliance and social skills that they'll use throughout life, say Walton and Thurber, who met when they were boys at the YMCA's Camp Belknap on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, and worked there together this past summer.
Ultimately, they say, parents and pediatricians must work together to help children prepare for and cope with separations, while camp directors, boarding school staff, hospital Child Life specialists, and others can help treat homesickness once it arises.

Just wanted to announce something new for this year's Holder's Fishing Show (better known as The Houston Fishing Show) being held down at the George R. Brown Convention Center, March 5th - 9th 2014. The Texas FlyFishers (TFF) are going to represent our ever expanding fly fishing community and have a large double booth exhibit aimed at bringing awareness to the fishing public as to what fly fishing in Texas is all about. We all know there are many people who have been using conventional tackle for years, but also may be interested in taking their angling skills to the next level. Make no mistake, this is where fly fishing comes to the forefront.
TFF is bringing in some of Texas's top fly fishing guides, outfitters and fisherman each available for you to mingle with and discuss the positive direction fly fishing is going today. For you Saltwater "junkies" come and meet Captain Ben Paschal, Captain Steve Soule, and Captain Brent Hodges. These guys cover the entire Texas coast and have helped bring saltwater fly fishing to a vast number of anglers who before never dreamed of fly fishing the backwaters of our beautiful Texas Coast. We'll also have for you, "I just gotta get away" guys, Mr. Jason Edgecombe representing Eva's Bonefish Lodge, a remote fly-in fishing destination down on Andros Island in the Bahamas. He'll get your blood boiling just talking about the endless fly fishing, diving/snorkeling, and outdoor adventure opportunities you can have while there.
We didn't forget the fresh water scene either. We'll have Captain's Kevin Hutchinson and Brent Hodges discussing the advantages of using a fly rod in the super gin clear waters of the Texas Hill Country. …and let me tell you catching a four pound small mouth bass or beautiful rainbow trout on a 4-5 wt. fly rod will test your resolve while watching their aerial displays. Remember the Guadalupe River has been voted one of America's top 100 trout fishing destinations and it is right here in Texas for all of us to enjoy.
The Texas FlyFishers will have casting and equipment demonstrations at the casting "pond" and maybe even challenge a few of the conventional hot shots to some accuracy contests. But speaking of equipment, the Texas Fly Fishers are proud to announce we will have for your viewing for the first time in Texas, the "SOLO SKIFF" designed and built by veteran boat manufacturer, Mr. Tom Mitzlaff who founded the Mitzi Skiff line of shallow water fishing boats still so popular today! Tom will be flying in from Jacksonville, Florida and be in our booth ready to answer all your questions regarding the boat's performance and the advantage of fly fishing from his craft.

The Immortal Free Stuff
It is probably part of human nature that people love free stuff. The opportunity of having something without having to pay for it really tickles our fancy, or at least most, if not really all. There is often an equivalent "something" to get that free stuff. It can be liking a Facebook status or a blog post, it can be referring others, or even just getting your attention to listen what they have to say, is something in exchange of the free item, service or credit. These days internet people have been going crazy about free stuff at SwagBucks.com that you would wish that it is available in your country.

Jacó is one of the two largest tourist towns on the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.
Get in[edit]
Jacó is about 130km from San Jose's airport, a beautiful drive of just over two hours.
From Juan Santamaria International Airport, follow the signs toward San Ramon. After 10km, take the exit toward Atenas and at the stop sign, turn left. Follow the winding street until you get to San Mateo. At San Mateo, the road jogs right a block because of one way traffic (towards you). Just follow the road around and you will get back on the main drag. When approaching Orotonia, a sign directs you to the right. Don't follow it! (you'll get lost in the business district). Stay straight until you see the sign on the right directing you to Jacó. Follow that road to Jacó. From here, it is just following signs to Jacó.
There are frequent buses going directly from the Coca Cola bus station in San José. Fares are about USD5 each way.
If you want to leave from SJO airport directly to Jaco you can use Easy Ride Shuttle Services. They run 3 times per day from 07:00 from SJO airport to Jaco. They also pick up at any hotel in San Jose downtown or Alajuela downtown.
Alternatively, drive from San Jose past San Ramon toward Puntarenas, until you get to Hwy 27. Go south on 27 and follow the signs to Jaco. It's further, but much faster since it is not a mountain road. Another plus is that you can stop at the bridge over the Tarcoles River along the way, a prime spot to observe wild crocodiles. Note, it is illegal to feed the crocodiles as they are protected.
Get around[edit]
Transportation in and around Jaco is quite simple. The city is small enough, that walking from one end to the other is not an impossible feat. But when it's hot, or it's dark, there are always plenty of taxis to take you down the strip wherever you might want to go. The taxis in Jaco are red. Don't get in a taxi that does not look official. Often there are pirate taxis that are generally safe, but it's best to stick with the official companies. There's a taxi stand by the main grocery store, Mas por Menos, or you can always pick one up easily outside of Beatle Bar. All official taxis have meters and are clearly displayed. CRC1,500 is a standard price to go just about anywhere in the town, or to Herradura, unless it's a short distance and then it's usually CRC750. Ask a local if you are unsure of how much you should pay.
There are local buses that circulate from Herradura to Jaco every hour. The bus does not go through all of Jaco, it does not travel to the most Northern side, but it you can get off at any spot in central Jaco, along the strip. The main bus stop to go to Herradura is located across the street and down the road a short distance from the grocery store, Mas o Menos. There is a bus stop there, and usually a congregation of people waiting for the bus to come. If you take the bus from Herradura to Jaco you can pick it up at Herradura beach, at the crossways of the Costanera in Herradura, or down the road at the Herradura gas station, otherwise known as La Bomba. The Herradura/Jaco bus will take you to Central Jaco, and all the way to Herradura beach for less than it would cost to take a taxi. The price to ride the bus in 2004 was CRC85.
At the north end of Jaco, across from the Best Western hotel, is the official bus station. If you want to take the bus from Jaco or Herradura to San Jose, this is where you need to go to buy tickets. There is a ticket window where you can purchase tickets, and it's recommended that you do so. Seats are assigned, but the Costa Ricans have no qualms about over-selling the bus. The trip from Jaco to San Jose generally takes 3-4 hours, and without a seat, you're forced to stand the entire, perilous trip, until someone gets off and there's an empty seat. This rarely happens. At this bus terminal you can also purchase tickets to other destinations such as Puntarenas and Quepos. Bus fare is inexpensive, and bus travel is always sure to be an adventure. If returning to San Jose by bus from Jaco, there are many places throughout Jaco that you can catch the bus: the bus terminal, of course, the bus stop in front of Mas o Menos, or various other locations along the Jaco strip. It's also possible to pick up the San Jose bus on the west side of the road at the crosswalk in Herradura. There are set times when the buses come and go, and for the most part they are usually on time. Be there a little early so you don't miss it. As always, be cautious with your belonging on the bus. There is storage underneath the bus for heavier and larger items, but people have been known to take suitcases and bags, from under the bus, that did not belong to them. Always keep an eye on your belonging inside the bus as well.
Jaco is fairly small, and it's easy to see the entire town in one day. But you can also just as easily take your time and spend several days exploring, shopping, going to the beach, surfing, dining out, going to bars, and taking tours in the Jaco area. If you have a rental car, a drive along the Western Costa, along the Costanera is very beautiful, and offers many opportunities to stop, take pictures, or find private, secluded beaches. Manuel Antonio, one of Costa Rica's National Parks, is an hour drive from Jaco, and is nearly a straight shot South along the Costanera highway.
- Mono Azul (The Blue Monkey) (S of Jaco on the road to Manual Antonio). Sloth rescue project, sponsored by Kids Saving the Rainforest.
Jaco is not very big, but there are plenty of things to do there. Surfing and boogie boarding are extremely popular, and it's fairly inexpensive to rent a board for the day. Jaco is known for being one of the best beginner surf spots in Costa Rica for the beach breaks (sand bottom) and good waves during high tides. There are lots of surf camps and surf schools in the area, make sure you choose one that is credible and especially certified to guarantee quality. There are also many shops along Jaco's main street that offer surfboard/boogie board rentals. Lying out on the beach and swimming are nice. The beach is beautiful, however the black sand at midday is scorching hot. There are some fantastic restaurants in Jaco, including some excellent "sodas", the local traditional restaurant. At night there are numerous clubs and bars that stay open late.
- Del Mar Extreme. Fitness vacations and sport adventure tours including stand up paddling, stand up paddle surf lessons, mountain biking tours and beachfront fitness classes (yoga, boxing, pilates, TRX, beach boot camp, circuit training, butts and guts and capoeira).
- Del Mar Surf Camp. Surf camp and yoga retreat owned and operated by local Costa Rican surfer, Maria Del Mar. Premiere and certified surf camp featuring surf lessons, surf coaching, surf tours, private surf lessons, family surf lessons day packages and surf camps including all inclusive surf packages, women's surf, and yoga camps, and surf and detox retreats. Locally certified Costa Rican school with ISA, CPR, first aid and water rescue with no more than two students per instructor.
- Herradura (North of Jaco). Herradura village offers a beautiful cove-style beach, that is often less crowded than the beach at Jaco. The beach was the site of the filming of the movie 1492, and one can tell why by its rustic beauty. As there are many rivers flowing into Herradura Bay, at times there are crocodiles that swim in the bay to feed. They are difficult to see, as a result of the black sand, so be very cautious when swimming there.
- Playa Blanca (N of Jaco). The entrance to this beach is extremely difficult to find, and it's best to have a local point it out to you. The road is quite bumpy and filled with potholes, so go slowly and cautiously. Since all the other beaches in the Jaco area are made up of black sand (volcanic rock) Playa Blanca is a welcome change. This beach, also part of the Punta Leona Resort, is virtually closed off from the rest of the world. Although you can get there for free down the hidden road, you can also pay to use the beach through the Punta Leona Resort.
- Playa Hermosa (The first village S of Jaco). Considered one of the best surfing locations in the world, the beach is extremely dangerous. People die here every year, as they do in Jaco as well, and the riptides and large waves in Hermosa are notorious. Be extremely careful when swimming in Hermosa. The black sand at midday is scalding hot, and will burn your feet. But the beach is beautiful and uncrowded. Most people prefer to spend their time in Jaco, and Hermosa is largely ignored. A great place for a drink or a snack while in Hermosa is the Backyard Bar. In contrast to the rowdy bars of Jaco, this one has a very mellow, surfer vibe.
- River Tarcoles (N past Punta Leona). The river is famous for one thing, its crocodiles. Park alongside the road and walk along the bridge to view the hundreds of crocodiles lying below. Many of the local resorts and hotels offer crocodile tours to Tarcoles where you can see the creatures up close. If that's a frightening idea, the view from the bridge is impressive enough.
- Vista Guapa Surf Camp. Stand up paddle and surf lessons for beginners and experienced surfers, individuals and groups. The camp has its own accommodation in comfortable air-con bungalows with great ocean views. Also offers adventure tours including mountain bike, yoga classes, and packages with trips to national parks. Run by Alvaro Solano, seven times national surf champion and current champion of the masters category.
There are numerous, small shops and stands all along Jaco's main strip that runs parallel to the water. Most of these stalls offer similar things: jewelry, fabric, surf clothes, knick-knacks, and traditional Costa Rican gifts. There is also a small mall, El Galeone, along the main street. There are a few unique stores in the mall, as well as an ATM on the second floor. Many stores offer Costa Rican handicrafts and souvenirs. A couple places that seem to offer more unique, higher quality offerings are Guacamole (clothing and accessories) and The Costa Rica Coffee Experience [dead link], where you can sample coffees from various growing regions and buy the beans to take home too.
- El Bohio. For a more elegant seafood meal on the beach, a person can easily spend an entire afternoon in its shady beachside bar, sipping ice cold USD3 beers.

- Izaga Bar-Restaurant (Across from Beatle Bar). Great seafood combined with casados and bar snacks. Perfect place to watch soccer games.

- De Haan Hotel. One of the cheapest hotels/hostels in town. Dorms and rooms (with up to 6 beds, with private bathroom and hot shower!). Swimming pool, kitchen, 20m from the beach. USD12-30.

The hotel is at the base of a jungle covered mountain and the canopy has been preserved through the hotel, so guests include kinkajou, coatimundi, arboreal anteaters and a wide variety of birds. The mountain and the trees shade the hotel and keep it cool but of course every room has air-con and it is maintained frequently for fresh clean air. The hotel has a large pool with a sun moon mosaic design and a waterfall cave. All this and four star amenities and service will cost you the same as most three star hotels in Jaco.

Go next[edit]
- National Park Manuel Antonio: There are numerous photo opportunities travelling south along the Costanera, as well as many secluded beaches. If you continue an hour south you will eventually come to the National Park, Manuel Antonio. It can be a bit confusing winding through the town of Quepos to get there, but simply follow the signs, or ask the locals for directions. Manuel Antonio boasts 6 or 7 secluded, white sand beaches. Be aware of the tide variations as they can change from season to season. Also be on the lookout for monkeys as Manuel Antonio is an excellent place to see them up close. Avoid feeding them, even though they're cute, as they come to depend on this food and risk danger by getting so close to humans.
