Quick links: Why study this course | Modules | Fees and Funding |Entry Requirements | How to apply
To study Economics you need to understand how economists think about problems, and that means studying theoretical models. But we also understand the importance of applying those theories to the problems that economists face, so this programme (and all other Economics-based programmes) also emphasises applied Economics, aiming to help you develop skills in statistics that you can use to analyse economic data and forecast what may happen in the future.
The Economics with Language programmes retain the core structure of the Single Honours Economics degree. They introduce you to the basic concepts and techniques in Economic Analysis, Applied Economics, Mathematics and Statistics, and Economic History. You also take a language module of your choice, which introduces you to the social and political background of the country concerned.
In this year you take compulsory modules in Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, and a language course. The language option includes the exploration of the social and political life and the economic system of the country concerned. You also take a course in Econometrics and choose from a wide range of options including Economic Development and Environmental Economics.
In the third year you study economics in an appropriate overseas university. You select courses in consultation with your tutor, but the aim is for you to study areas of economics you would not normally have experience of in the UK. You are required to write two essays on Economics topics, one of which will be in the language that you are studying.
You return to Birmingham in the fourth year. In addition, you take a compulsory module in Economic Theory and choose six optional economics modules from a range that includes International Trade, Economics of Financial Markets and European Economics. You also undertake your own research and produce an extended essay on a topic of your own choosing.
If you want to take advantage of a unique opportunity to be supported with a work placement opportunity as part of your final year, this course includes the opportunity to undertake a 'Professional Development' module as part of your optional module choices.
There are lots of opportunities available for you to develop skills employers value both within your degree programme and outside. For example:
There is also a dedicated team of people who can help and support you including careers and employability advisers, internship officers and an application support adviser who specialise in working with students just like you. You can ask for individual advice, attend workshops and careers events tailored to your degree programme. You can browse web resources, which includes careers information, job adverts for work experience and internships, details of careers fairs and events such as presentations from past graduates.
Birmingham is just the start of the journey. We'll make sure you have all the support you need to help you develop, gain knowledge and the confidence you will need to make decisions about your future.

Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full- or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students.
All KIS information has been published on the Unistats website and can also be accessed via the small advert, or 'widget', below. On the Unistats website you are able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses.
The development of Key Information Sets (KIS) formed part of HEFCE's work to enhance the information that is available about higher education. They give you access to reliable and comparable information in order to help you make informed decisions about what and where to study.
The KIS contains information which prospective students have identified as useful, such as student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, learning and teaching activities, assessment methods, tuition fees and student finance, accommodation and professional accreditation.
An undergraduate Economics student discusses how guest lecturers, such as Professor Al Roth, can enhance the student experience.
Economics is a department within Birmingham Business School, which has many strong links with industry. As well as exploring theoretical aspects, you'll find that your degree has a strong practical focus, and this is reflected in the way you'll be taught.
Learning from experts in their field, you will be encouraged to think for yourself and will experience a number of different learning settings, including lectures, tutorials and even the opportunity to be involved in our Economics Laboratory.
Our aim is to equip you with specific skills in economics, but also generic skills that can be applied right across the job spectrum, such as analytical and data analysis.
As a Birmingham student you are part of an academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts.
During your time at the Business School you will experience teaching through a mixture of lectures and tutorials. Small-group tutorials/personal tutorials run alongside our lectures, addressing any individual problems you may have and allowing you to consolidate lecture material, as well as test your understanding through problem-solving exercises.
Self study is an essential part of the programme and requires self motivation and enthusiasm for your subject and allows you to pursue your own lines of enquiry and become an independent thinker.
You are assessed mainly through examinations, with some assessed assignments for more practical modules. Whilst abroad you will complete an essay, which is to be examined for both language and economics content, and you will also write an extended essay in your fourth year, allowing you to consolidate the wide range of your acquired skills.
At the end of this degree, you should have a good appreciation of economics relating to financial markets and institutions; quantitative techniques for empirical analysis of economic and financial data; accounting concepts relevant to financial market analysis; the legal aspects of financial services; and the history, culture, political structure and economy of the relevant European country, allied to a high level of linguistic skill.
As well as time with your lecturers and personal tutor, academic and professional services staff (like our dedicated Careers Network team) will be available to offer individual and group support throughout your time here at Birmingham.
Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, from scheduled teaching in lectures and small group tutorials, to self-study and peer group learning (for example preparing and delivering presentations with your classmates).
Click and drag in the image above to take a virtual tour of our campus.
You'll find our Economics department staff here at Birmingham located in a building at the heart of our world famous main campus in Edgbaston, Birmingham. The main Edgbaston campus is close to the city centre but has all the amenities of a small town, as well as its own railway station.
In 2012, Birmingham Business School founded and invested in The Birmingham Experimental Economics Laboratory (BEEL) which enables economics experiments to take place on campus. The laboratory focuses on research into individual and strategic decision making and students are actively encouraged to participate in these experiments.
To begin with you may find this way of working challenging, but rest assured that we'll enable you to make this transition. You will have access to a comprehensive support system that will assist and encourage you, including personal tutors and welfare tutors who can help with both academic and welfare issues, and a formal transition review during your first year to check on your progress and offer you help for any particular areas where you need support.
Our Academic Skills Centre also offers you support with your learning. The centre is a place where you can develop your mathematical, academic writing and general academic skills. It is the centre's aim to help you to become a more effective and independent learner through the use of a range of high-quality and appropriate learning support services. These range from drop-in sessions with support with mathematics and statistics based problems provided by experienced mathematicians, to workshops on a range of topics including note talking, reading, writing and presentation skills.
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is an excellent tool for supporting our academic courses, allowing you to share thoughts on assignments with other students via the discussion group facilities, and even submit your work electronically.
Enquiry Based Learning (EBL) is a group activity which requires you to work in a team, with a variety of assessment methods; in either a group or individually, by written reports and sometimes as a presentation. Based on techniques used in research-led organisations like the University of Birmingham, EBL gives you a research-orientated approach to a problem and helps you to gain essential skills that are highly valued by employers.
Studying at degree-level is likely to be very different from your previous experience of learning and teaching. You will be expected to think, discuss and engage critically with the subject and find things out for yourself. We will enable you to make this transition to a new style of learning, and the way that you are assessed during your studies will help you develop the essential skills you need to make a success of your time at Birmingham.
You'll be assessed in a variety of ways, and these may be different with each module that you take. You will be assessed through coursework which may take the form of essays, group and individual presentations and formal exams.
During your first year you will undergo a formal 'transition' review to see how you are getting on and if there are particular areas where you need support. This is in addition to the personal tutor who is based in your school or department and can help with any academic issues you encounter.
At the beginning of each module, you'll be given information on how and when you'll be assessed for that particular programme of study. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done. You'll be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you should fail an exam we will ensure that particularly detailed feedback is made available to enable you to learn for the future.
At the end of four years you will be well-versed in economic concepts, have the ability to analyse issues with an economist's viewpoint, have attained a high level of spoken and written language skills, and be familiar with another European country. These degrees are of great practical value and appeal to prospective employers both in the UK and continental Europe.
A degree in Economics provides the skills required for a very wide range of careers and employers will value the training that an Economics degree provides. These skills and training are useful in the financial sector, general commerce, public sector, journalism and education to name but a few.
Our business degrees have long been recognised by major employers across all sectors of the economy. Our students find employment in areas as diverse as retail management, financial services, accountancy, motor manufacturing, management consultancy and pharmaceuticals; some become self employed.
The University of Birmingham is known to produce high quality graduates and therefore students are in high demand when they have completed their study.
Your Birmingham degree is evidence of your ability to succeed in a demanding academic environment. Employers target Birmingham students for their drive, diversity, communication and problem-solving skills, their team-working abilities and cultural awareness, and our graduate employment statistics have continued to climb at a rate well above national trends. If you make the most of the wide range of services you will be able to develop your career from the moment you arrive.
Preparation for your career should be one of the first things you think about as you start university. Whether you have a clear idea of where your future aspirations lie or want to consider the broad range of opportunities available once you have a Birmingham degree, our Careers Network can help you achieve your goal.
Our unique careers guidance service is tailored to your academic subject area, offering a specialised team (in each of the five academic colleges) who can give you expert advice. Our team source exclusive work experience opportunities to help you stand out amongst the competition, with mentoring, global internships and placements available to you.

John Salathe and Yvon Chouinard in Camp 4
John Salathé 1899-1992
Born in Basel, Switzerland John Salathé immigrated to Canada at age 25 and finally settled down in San Mateo, California to work as a blacksmith five years later. He names his business the Peninsula Iron Works. Convinced that his wife is poisoning him, he is feeling ill and idly watching a cow and calf grazing outside his workshop when a voice says, "John, look at those healthy animals. They eat grass, not meat. You eat meat, and you are always feeling sick." Salathé is to have many more conversations with what he refers to as his "Angels". John immediately becomes a lifelong vegetarian and, upon his doctor's suggestion, goes to Tuolumne Meadows for some fresh air. While there, he inadvertently ends up at the Sierra Club's lodge at Soda Springs. Salathé is intrigued when he hears the caretakers talk about the RCS's Sierra Club outings.
At the age of 46, Salathé does his first and what could have been his last climb. Robin Hansen, after leading a climb on Hunters Hill near Vallejo, tells Salathé to come on up and "climb freely," meaning to climb only the rock and not to pull on the rope or the pitons. After several minutes, Hansen hasn't felt any activity on the rope when suddenly Salathé pops around the corner climbing unroped. Salathé has misunderstood Hansen, thinking that "climb freely" means free of the rope.
Salathé's physical health returns and he quickly becomes obsessed with climbing. Being older, Salathé isn't as agile as the younger climbers so he isn't a particularly good free climber. Because of this, he focuses his attentions on aid (artificial) climbing. Climbers so far have done mostly free routes with short sections of aid in order to link together the free climbing sections. Salathé becomes the first climber to embrace aid climbing as the predominant means of ascending. Salathé quickly realizes that the soft iron pitons are not durable enough for multiple placements in Yosemite's bottoming cracks. He notices blades of grass growing out of a seam and decides "If a blade of grass can grow out of the rock then a piton could go in". Back at his shop, he fashions the first hard steel pitons out of Ford Model A axels, and they work splendidly. He develops other gear as well including a giant hook, adjustable aluminum aid ladder steps that are more comfortable than rope slings, and a bolting kit that is similar to what is used today. He marks his gear with the traditional master blacksmithing trademark; a diamond surrounding a capital " P". Yvon Chouinard would later use a similar trademark to mark his manufactured gear as a tribute to Salathé.
Salathé continues to have more conversations with his "Angels" and they direct him to climb three routes in Yosemite. They are the Southwest Face of Half Dome, the Lost Arrow, and the North Face of Sentinel Rock.
Salathé, only a year after his first climb, decides to try his new pitons on the Lost Arrow Spire. His two partners don't show up, unfazed; he rappels to the notch just to have a look around. Leaving his ropes in place and peeking around the corner from a small, exposed ledge, he finds a thin crack system leading to a good-sized ledge. Undaunted by the 2,000 foot drop and incredible exposure, he sets up a self-belay system and starts aid climbing. He runs out of daylight and retreats to the notch and climbs back up to the rim using his fixed ropes. Shotly afterward, he returns with John Thune Sr. for another try. Salathé goes back for another try with John Thune, Sr. One of Salathé's pitons pulls out just off the tiny ledge, and he plummets past a cowering Thune who manages to stop the fall. Undaunted, Salathé climbs back up and continues on. When the incipient cracks end, he uses his hammer and drill to place bolts. Though bolts have been used a few times before to protect blank face-climbing sections or a single aid move, this is the first time they have been used for upward progress. They run out of daylight at a blank section 30 feet from the summit.
September 2, 1946
Anton Nelson, Jack Arnold, Robin Hansen, and Fritz Lippman spend several days trying to throw fishing weights attached to a light line over the Arrow Tip from the Valley rim. Hansen is finally successful and the weighted line can be seen dangling at Salathé Ledge. Nelson and Arnold spend two days and a night in the Notch climbing Salathé's route to Salathé Ledge and the weighted line. A climbing rope is then pulled over the Tip and anchored on the rim. Arnold climbs up to the summit using prusiks on the fixed rope and starts drilling holes for a bolted anchor. A Tyrolean Traverse is set up and Lippman slides out to the summit with an improvised chest harness and a single carabiner. Midway through the traverse is a knot in the rope and Lippman is forced to un-clip the carabiner to get past the knot. Nelson prusiks to the summit and all three men traverse back to the rim as darkness approaches. Robin Hansen does not have the time to do the Tyrolean due to the darkness. They get the coveted first ascent of Lost Arrow after using what the indignant Salathé calls a "rope trick".
October 13-14, 1946
Salathé teams up with Anton "Axe" Nelson to climb the Southwest Face of Half Dome in a 20 hour marathon using 150 piton placements. Salathé's hard steel pitons hold up well in the bottoming cracks. The two men spend a miserable night standing on a small stance waiting for daylight. This was the first Yosemite bivouac on a climb. They did not place any bolts on the route and it becomes the hardest route in Yosemite.
Next, Salathé and Nelson turn their sights on the Lost Arrow deciding to up the ante by starting at the base of the wall. Several parties had attempted the route including one strong attempt by Chuck Wilts. During their first attempt on Memorial Day weekend they were rained off. On a second attempt on the fourth of July they spend two days and push the route to the second large ledge called the Second Error. Due to the heat and difficulty of the climbing they once again retreat.
September 3, 1947
Salathé and Nelson climb Lost Arrow Chimney to the Lost Arrow Tip after five days with much preparation and determination. They bring only 18 pitons and 12 carabiners. The leader would lower off the top three pitons to clean the lower pitons to be reused higher on each pitch. They place bolts on three sections of the climb using Star Dryvin bolts with a 3/8" sleeve. Some of the bolt hangers were removed and reused higher on the climb. They lead with a 120 foot nylon rope 7/16" in diameter that cost them $22.00. Food and water rations are extremely slim. They bring only six quarts of water and ration it carefully during the hot weather. Friends lower water to them on their fourth day perhaps saving them form dehydration. After reaching the summit the men rappel to the Notch and climb up a rope tossed down by friends. Both men lose a lot of weight. This is the first time a climbing party has intentionally planned on staying several nights on a climb and is considered the start of Yosemite big wall climbing. The Lost Arrow Chimney is a climb with a whole new level of commitment so far unseen in the United States. It would be seventeen years before this bold route is climbed again by Warren Harding, Frank Tarver, and Bob Swift. To this day, the climb commands a lot of respect.
June 30 – July 4, 1950
The 51 year old Salathé and Allen Steck climb the north face of Sentinel Rock during five days of blistering hot weather. The route had many strong attempts previously including the attempt by Phil Bettler and Bill Long when they reach the top of the Flying Buttress about eight hundred feet above Tree Ledge on Memorial Day weekend 1950. Salathé and Steck bring 18 pitons, 15 carabiners, and 12 bolts with hangers. As with the Lost Arrow Chimney provisions were minimal. The pair has provisioned a quart of water each per day which soon proved inadequate due to the heat and the tremendous amount of effort required. Temperatures reached 105 degrees on the Valley floor. For food they had dried fruit and a can of tuna most of which they tossed off the climb when near the summit. Because of their thirst they were able to eat very little. At one point Steck found water droplets seeping out of the rock which he blissfully was able to wet his lips with. The crux of the route proved to be the intimidating Narrows. Salathé stacked pitons back to back to get around this formidable obstacle opening up the final pitches to the summit
These three visionary routes – Southwest Face of Half Dome, Lost Arrow Chimney and North Face of Sentinel Rock – have stood the test of time and are still bold outings to this day. They were such a bold jump in commitment that Salathé is considered the grandfather of big wall climbing. Salathé did other first ascents during his climbing career but, none of them had the boldness or commitment as these three climbs. Salathé had proven that, with careful planning, proper equipment and plenty of determination, Yosemite's formidable walls can be climbed. Salathé had set the standard for subsequent climbers to aspire to.
Salathé did not climb much after the North Face of Sentinel. He left his son and wife, closed his blacksmith shop, and headed for the desert. He lived out of his Volkswagon van spending the winters near the Mexican border and the summers in the mountains.
He moved back to his native Switzerland for a while living in a remote cabin and gathered herbs while wandering in the Alps. He was a follower of the Spiritual Lodge, a non-traditional Christian sect based in Zurich. He was known to regularly send religious pamphlets to his friends. His last climb was the Matterhorn in 1958 with lifelong friend John Thune Sr. and his son John Thune Jr. After the climb Salathé handed over his equipment to John Thune Jr. announcing his retirement.
He kept up a regular written correspondence with his friend John Thune Sr. throughout his life often mentioning the "Angels" that guided him. In one of these letters he says "I find that rockclimbing is the finest most healthiest sport in the whole world, look at Baseball where 10,000 set on their ass to watch a handful of players". Once while an argument ensued at an American Alpine Club meeting over climbing ethics, John got impatient, stood up, and was heard to say in his Swiss accent "All this talk! Vy can't ve just climb". Salathé spoke often of his "Angels" and the benefits of a vegetarian diet. He once told Jim Wilson that "Meat makes you have to have woman. Then she'll have you under the thumbs".
Salathé visited the Park in the late 1970's and was disappointed to find his beloved Camp 4 had changed. It was now called Sunnyside Campground, cost money, and you were no longer allowed to drive into camp. Salathé eventually moved back to Southern California where he passed away at the ripe age of 93 years.
Salathé was a modest man and probably never realized the influence and impact he had on the climbing community. Salathé's pitons were cherished and worked so well that others (Yvon Chouinard, Dick Long, and Chuck Wilts) used almost identical designs when making their own. The basic aid climbing techniques and tools that Salathé had developed are still more or less used today. His biggest contribution to climbing was his perseverance and stubbornness that saw him through his climbs. He will continue to inspire climbers for generations to come.
Bergheil John!

The Postal Service cannot ignore the $1.4 billion spent on sick leave last year and recognizes that the best person to do the job is the person hired for it rather than a replacement. The Postal Service identified approximately 35,000 employees in 2008 with 20 or more unscheduled absences. That means 5 percent of its employees have nearly one absence for every paycheck! What is the impact on morale to the other 640,026 career employees? Is there something the Postal Service can do to reduce the number of unscheduled absences? We'd like to know how you feel about these issues.

Kosher Meat
|Spaghetti Bolognese
by June Hersh,The Kosher Carnivore, (St. Martin's Press)
Spaghetti Bolognese is all about the meat. The stock, sautéed aromatics, touch of tomato sauce and pinch of oregano are all designed to support the main focus; slow simmered ground beef. Together they produce a robust and full-bodied sauce that screams to be scooped up with crusty bread and twirled onto large pasta laden spoons.
3 tablespoons olive oil
Heat the oil in a large skillet, cook and stir the onions, carrots, celery, garlic and red pepper flakes, over medium heat, about 10 minutes. Crumble and add the ground beef to the skillet, use the back of the spoon to break up any clumps of meat. You want the texture to be coarse, not clunky. Cook, over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine and half the stock. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 30 minutes. After that time, add the remaining ½ cup of stock, cover and continue cooking for 30 minutes longer. After an hour, stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and oregano and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and continue cooking until ready to serve. It can be as little as 15 minutes more or hours, as long as the stove is kept to a very low simmer.
While the sauce cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta according to package directions, leaving it al dente as it will cook a few minutes in the sauce. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water. Stir the pasta into the skillet, cook for a few minutes adding a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
About 4 servings
Behind the Counter Lean, but not extra lean ground beef works well, as would a combination of ground beef and ground veal (+$)
Feedback Rather than buying tomato paste in the can, where most of it goes to waste, keep a tube of tomato paste in the fridge. Anchovy paste can also be bought in a tube and makes adding anchovy flavor to a dish, so easy and economical.

We recently hosted a special reception in the U.S. Capitol welcoming members of the House of Representatives to the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus (CAPC). The CAPC is a bipartisan organization committed to raising awareness of animal welfare issues in Congress.
The event was also an opportunity to recognize a new Co-Chair of the Caucus, Rep. John Campbell (R-CA), along with returning Co-Chair Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA).
Richard Patch (ASPCA), Rep. John Campbell, Nancy Perry (ASPCA), Carolyn Schnurr (ASPCA), Rep. Jim Moran
"I'm very pleased and honored to have the opportunity to work alongside of Congressman Moran in leading this important caucus," said Rep. Campbell. "I look forward to the opportunities the Caucus will have this year to come together in a bipartisan fashion to highlight the animal protection needs that remain unaddressed in this nation."
The caucus currently has 70 members—see if your representative is one of them.
Take Action
Members of the ASPCA's D.C.-based Government Relations team had a chance to mingle with legislators, their staff, and others who are interested in animal protection issues. It was a great opportunity to meet new and returning Members of Congress and talk with them about current issues, including passing a ban on horse slaughter and the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act. Have you asked your representative to support these initiatives? If not, visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center and get started today!

Just a small suggestion for an otherwise excellent program..
Instead of statically calling cmd wherever it is needed, please use the ComSpec environment variable to determine what command processor to use (It's been around since ms-dos, and still exists).
The comspec variable always points to the full path of the command processor to use and doesn't contain parameters.
It wouldn't change anything for standard users, but it would for those that want to use an alternate command processor by default.
In my case I prefer to use Take command by jpsoft which is compatible with the normal command processor, but oh so powerful in comparison.

Goody's Diner – Finally an Ontario candidate for Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives… and it's in Scarborough
I haven't had time to write a proper review, but I think it's about time Goody's Diner had it's own post. It'll give me a chance to answer some of the questions I've gotten so far.
Goody's isn't a gourmet burger restaurant. It's a diner first with some mighty fine burgers. Those creations came about by customer demand. They add their own little signature twist to every dish they serve, but the burgers are their tour de force.
Yes, scarberian, the owner is a young guy. That older Santa Claus looking gent you probably saw mopping floors with a smile on his face is this guy: http://www.chefdb.com/nm/96/Neal-Noble He's also dad. That apple must have fallen right next to the tree 'cause those two are the Delicious Duo. It's a father and son team with mom looking after their websites. Most restaurants create some sort of mythology to hook you. These guys are the real thing. Talented, nice, humble, happy to help you.
Get goin' mom with that Twitter page. I want a tweet every time those two devise something new. I assure you I can be there in 5 minutes.
As to what they do well, I'd have to say everything I've had so far. I see the braised beef isn't on the menu right now. That's too bad. The one I had was lovely. Maybe a winter time comeback? Please? Served in a shallow bowl, the succulent chunks of beef were surrounded by tender-crisp root vegetables all served atop garlic mashed potatoes and swimming in braising liquid. Fab.
Salads, though not why people go there, come with house made dressing. And they're good. C'mon you have to at least consider a little roughage if you're going to take on their portions.
Their Reuben is a generous pile of pastrami perfectly Panini pressed and, of course, house made dressing and served with fries, or sweet potato frites, or salad. Scarberian may disagree, but I swear if those French fries have ever seen the inside of a freezer I'll hang up my cast iron grill pan.
And you gotta try the steak sandwich. I've been looking for that exact composition and have had to be content with making it myself. Char-grilled steak served on garlic loaf with carmelized onions, jalapeno havarti (okay, I never thought of that) and sautéed mushrooms. Yay! 9 bucks and no dishes.
Now to the burgers. Start with 8 ounces of all beef deftly seasoned with just salt and pepper and handled lightly so it's ever so tender, char-grilled to a moist interior and well, grill-marked exterior. Add to that perfectly matched bun selections (egg, pretzel, and more) and their creativity and every bite's a winner. I hesitate to mention the varieties for fear of copycats. I will say that every composition makes perfect sense. It isn't just about wow factor. Each topping they choose creates a harmony with the next it shares a bun with. The wow happens naturally. You really have to make the journey to the east side if you want to know.
Monday-Friday 9am-7pm only. Really. Their website hours are incorrect.
re: callitasicit
I'm not much of a soup person when it's 30 degrees outside. Once summer turns to fall I'll be trying them. You go first.
"all beef deftly seasoned with just salt and pepper "
Their website says "ground top sirloin beef, roasted garlic and our secret spice blend." There's no mention of the 'creative' burgers?
Also, do they have specials? The menu online doesn't seem to have any dishes that feature these unique twists you mentioned. They may be very well prepared and executed perfectly but it looks like a pretty standard diner menu.
re: jamesm
I take a small piece of beef and taste it before I start digging in. I detect only salt and pepper myself. If there's garlic there it's sitting inthe right place which is to say it merely elevates, doesn't desecrate.
They have daily specials on their chalkboard which includes a daily burger. However, they also have a wall-o'-burgers you can order from. They're not on the menu nor on their website, but they're not a 'secret burger' you have to be in-the-know about by any means.
It sure does look like a standard diner menu. It's all in the execution with these two. I assure you there's a personal touch within each dish. The only stuff coming out of a bottle are the condiments they plunk on your table.
And of all the thngs to forget... have a link.
Goody's Diner
133 Manville Rd, Unit 17, Toronto, ON , CA
re: jamesm
After reading all the hype I decided to try the burger as I work in the area. It was cooked perfectly for my tastes and very moist. The bun was fantastic and the perfect size. However, there is definitely more than salt and pepper in the burger and I found that whatever extra spices were added were done so with a very heavy hand. My initial reaction after the very first bite was 'whoa, that's salty'. After a few more bites the spices seemed to overpower the burger to the point where I couldn't taste the beef. I ordered the burger with everything other than relish. I don't know if it was the garlic mayo or the burger itself but something repeated on me for hours - two bottles of water later I was still thirsty and left with a salty-garlicky taste coating my throat. I would have loved the fries that came with the burger - (probably) frozen shoestring that came out of the fryer hot and crispy but, unfortunately, tossed in too much salt before plating (and I like my salt!).
While I was waiting for my food they mentioned that their new menu was coming out today. I might go back to try some other items but I won't order the burger again.
re: TG101
I had the burger when I visited last week, and I didn't think that the patty was overly salted, nor were there any strong spice flavours. Granted, I had the Goody's burger, so there was already peameal bacon, cheese, caramelized onions, and mushrooms, but I could still taste the beef.
re: TG101
Indeed, that is a very odd report TG101. I don't even use salted butter at home. I should think I would notice oversalted in any restaurant. As I say, before I dig in I take a small bite of just the patty and it's very beefy. Perhaps it was the combination of toppings that did you in. Which burger did you order and what did you put on it?
re: Googs
I ordered the basic burger with lettuce, tomato, onions, ketchup, mustard and garlic mayo. Perhaps that particular batch of burgers had double the seasoning added in error? As I mentioned, it was perfectly cooked and the bun was great...just really unfortunate it was so salty as I was really looking forward to it.
re: Vinnie Vidimangi
I went on Monday as well!
re: Googs
I'm not sure if this has been settled elsewhere in this epic thread, but I just visited Goody's for the first time today and can definitively confirm that they spice their burgers with more than just salt and pepper. The menu specifically states that they mix their burgers with roasted garlic and a "secret spice blend." Aside from that, there is no mistaking the burger for anything but a spiced and seasoned burger -- to me, a burger like this is more of a meatloaf sandwich than a genuine hamburger, but then I am a burger purist and I know that many people would disagree with me.
For what it was, however, it was quite good. Probably the best example of a meatloaf style burger that I've had, and I would easily get it again. But it's definitely not a pure hamburger.
re: Michael N
Just because a burger has seasonings doesn't make it a 'meatloaf'. All of the homemade burgers that I ate as a young person were seasoned with a blend of spices and/or eggs, bread crumbs, onions etc., etc. That doesn't make them 'meatloaf'. It's the shape and the fact that it's served on a bun that makes it a burger. When I buy a 'home burger' or 'homemade burger' from Burger Shack, It is seasoned with garlic and more. It's still a burger. If you prefer yours 'straight-up', no problem, but you can't exclude those with seasoning.
I like a steak with salt and pepper and sometimes garlic. If someone else likes theirs with Montreal Steak Spice or marinated, it's still a steak. Just cooked with different character.
re: Yongeman
I don't think your steak analogy applies, because seasoning something is different from actually mixing ingredients in, and imparts a very different flavour. A more apt comparison would be between an Oreo Blizzard and plain vanilla ice cream, or a frittata and a fried egg. They're in the same category, yes, but they're very different things, and should be labeled as such.
I do think that labeling this type of burger as a homeburger is fair, because every time I've seen a burger labeled homeburger on a menu, it is of the meatloaf variety. I just wish that this would be a universally accepted standard so that you can always know what you're getting when you order a burger.
re: Michael N
Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that we can call BOTH hamburgers. Michael N's example is the traditional, griddle top, slider or regular 100% pure beef patty. No fillers and spiced with just salt and pepper. It's your classic American burger. I can see his point in calling the Goody burgers as "meatloaf". I myself have described them as such, but they belong to that other burger camp where, like a meatloaf, you use breadcrumbs, egg for binding and spices. You usually grill them, but they can be fried on a griddle. Goody's is one of the best examples of this style. I do wish they try their hand at the "purist" burger, just thin patties of 100% beef. Sometimes you just want a classic burger.
re: Michael N
"I just wish that this would be a universally accepted standard so that you can always know what you're getting when you order a burger."
You could just ask.
re: Davwud
@Davwud - Indeed. But the two burger styles are so vastly different that I shouldn't have to ask. That's my point.
Can't wait to try this place out. Its been getting alot of buzz on CH the past few weeks so I really do want to check it out soon. It's near Warden and Eg right?
re: LearningHow
Supposed to be a new website out for this restaurant as certain items are no longer offered. However when I go on the site, it hasn't been updated. Spoke with someone there and they assured me that the website had been altered. Perhaps it is under a different web address?
re: callitasicit
Looks like they only updated the menu. They still need to update their hours of operation.
re: lavender07
Did they remove the dishes with a 'unique' twist because that looks pretty straight forward, not ddd worthy. Granted I haven't seen the special menu apparently posted inside the restaurant. Is the special menu for burgers only?
re: jamesm
jamesm, I said little signature twist in each dish. Whether its an outrageous burger or their own homemade sauce for the Reuben, it's the little touches that make the difference and excite the tastebuds.
They don't reinvent the wheel. They take it from Goodyear to Michelin.
re: lavender07
Since when was the menu changed? I haven't seen any difference for a few weeks now.

Don't Bother Written By JCD, San Francisco on Wednesday, January 08, 2014 I bought this camera specifically for the 22X zoom as I was going on a wildlife trip. The zoom is sub-par, pretty much blurring after about half way zoom, shaking and unfocused. The flash pops up at just the place where one normally places their fingers while holding the camera. Maybe worth the current price but not worth the brand new price I paid when it was released. Very disappointed. Back to Sony.

Powerful zoom coupled with Continuous Mode snaps multiple pics at any distance to capture the best faces or figures on moving targets - like kids at a birthday party. It worked well right out of the box (including the WiFi transfer to mobile devices), and has a multitude of great features that will take time to learn. The Nikon View NX2 software is easy to use and great for managing and uploading pics to a computer. I am very pleased with the S9500 and recommend it highly. 30 out of 30 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Deux vélos
24 comments:
I would not... and I still don't understand how so many people can ride the Velib rental bikes [with no helmets on] and make it to their destination in one piece. Sheer luck, certainly ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
I would do anything I could to get to Paris! Nice photo...ReplyDelete
I love to ride a vélib, preferably at night, on a holiday (less traffic) or just for a short distance - it makes me feel like a real French girl. But I have to admit that sometimes it´s rather stressful - riding a bicycle on Place de la Bastille is no fun...ReplyDelete
No way! Cars and traffic in Paris are a nightmare, I would be so afraid! I'm with Veronique on that point.ReplyDelete
I don't trust myself on a bicycle here, let alone in Paris. Too many jaw-dropping distractions ~ I'd wobble hopelessly. But I'm glad others do, as it makes for beautiful photos like this. Gorgeous, Genie.ReplyDelete
Me gusta la foto.ReplyDelete
Las bicicletas no son solo para el verano.
Would I and yes I do on our visits to Paris. Drivers in Paris are more aware and courteous than here in Melbourne where Tradies in Utes chuck stuff at you and tell you to get off the road. Not all drivers are like that but its getting better as bikes start to take over in this car minded city.ReplyDelete
Give me Paris on a bike as often as I can be there.
Maybe I would when I was younger and certainly my kids and grandkids would do it because they cycle all the time in these busy cities here. Everybody in Holland rides a bicycle and all cardrivers are friendly for them.Have a nice day!ReplyDelete
Would «Louis» ride a bike in Paris?ReplyDelete
Mai non!
Hooves, handlebars and foot pedals are NOT a combination made in heaven...
Oh no I don't think so Genie, even here in quiet Perth I'd be a danger to myself and everyone around me on a bike..I like to think of those two basket filled with interesting books.ReplyDelete
With all the gorgeous French cafes and bistros around I definitely wouldn't go into an American styled cafe called 'Jet Lag', we have a chain of cafe's here called 'Hog's Breath Cafe' I just couldn't even enter, I mean...ugh! haha! Also your image of Rue Mouffetard could have been snapped by Doisneau himself! Hard to believe it's Friday again Genie, where on earth do the days go!
Yup! Vintage bike are the rage all over. We even have a ghost bike here.ReplyDelete
It depends on where in Paris you want to ride --- Canal St. Martin, certainement!ReplyDelete
Are you kidding me???? I wouldn't even ride one inside Galerie Vivienne in Paris! :)ReplyDelete
Never in a million years!!! I won't even ride in areas where the traffic isn't busy!!ReplyDelete
Oh to be a child again. I was fearless then and rode all over the place. I especially loved to ride hands free having the wind blowing in my face. I never felt so free as I did back then.
When I lived there, it was still reasonably safe to ride a bike...and I think it is if you are careful. But not taking photos!ReplyDelete
And you must know this song by Joe Dassin?"
genie, i do ride in paris. the only problem is when someone steal your set post.ReplyDelete
You'd need a much deeper basket than that to carry a stack of books.ReplyDelete
don't you wonder how bill cunningham does in it nyc?ReplyDelete
Great shot but the thought of riding a bike in Paris terrifies me. The drivers are crazy and the moped riders are worse.ReplyDelete
I've ridden a bike in Paris...certainly an experience! I'm thinking that large flat basket is perfect to put some pain et du fromage in, and cycle off to a nice park for a picnic lunch...even in the cold!ReplyDelete
I think I'll walk chere Genie!! (I don't know how to ride a bike!..am I the only one?)ReplyDelete
And please don't attempt to ride and snap at the same time! :))
A great shot...always love the B&W.
Bon weekend sweet friend!
- Irina
Absolutely! It would be a great place to bike. With my camera bag in the basket.ReplyDelete
I'm too much of a klutz - I wouldn't trust myself to ride in Paris! But perhaps in a more rural area of France, where there wasn't so much traffic....ReplyDelete
Mais non -- au pied [?] suffices. Love the image and the vignetting.ReplyDelete

Your feet are tired, sad, mistreated, and need extra confidence, and nothing would make them happier than a little lingerie. Yes, you read that right—new company Half Pretties makes lingerie for your feet in the form of lacy little peds that cover just your toes. It's sort of like a car bra for your foot—equally useless and everyone will wonder why you bothered, but at least you're happy with your investment. The idea is that when worn with a flat or heel, a little bit of the lace will peek out like a camisole, but for your foot. Half Pretties come in three varieties (original, bridal, and flirties—seriously) and several colors, so you're covered for all occasions, including funerals, baptisms, bar mitzvahs, and whatever life event you need lacy foot bras for.

Talisman Programs provide exceptional ADHD, autism and Aspergers camp opportunities for young people, ages 6 to 22, with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD and other learning differences. Since 1980, our ACA-accredited autism and Aspergers camp programs have been offering unique alternatives to ordinary summer camps. We provide a structured, nurturing environment within an exciting adventure program in which our campers can have a successful summer while increasing social skills, a sense of personal responsibility and a more positive self-image.
Camp season 2015! Enrollment is limited. Please contact us today at 828-697-6313 to ensure you can reserve your preferred dates. **Session 1 is Full**
A Summer Camp Experience. Parents choose Talisman's ADHD, autism and Aspergers camps because they are looking for a traditional camp experience for their son or daughter in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. Whichever program you choose or whatever the camper's age, Talisman provides weeks of fun and friendship. Our owners and camp directors have decades of experience, and we have seen thousands of children, teens and young adults walk onto our campus and leave a few weeks later with memories and friendships to last a lifetime.
During the off-season. The owners travel all over for conferences, appearances and camp fairs. Stop in, say hello and get to know them. We often hold get-togethers with former campers and their families when we travel, so give us a call or check out our blog to see where we are: talismanprograms.blogspot.com. If you have a young man aged 12-17, check out our new Semesters Program, opening Fall 2015!
A personal relationship with every child. With our limited enrollment, Talisman's ADHD, autism and Aspergers camps are able to maintain close personal contact with families from the admissions process throughout the summer and into the school year. Campers develop meaningful bonds with their counselors, and parents are kept informed by weekly phone contact and written summaries at the end of the summer. Many campers build on those relationships by returning year after year, strengthening our community as they continue to grow and benefit from it.
We have launched our new Campership this year. The application is now closed for 2015. For more information on this new initiative, click here.
