Park Slope
I am visiting NYC for the week next week and a friend has graciously made available their home in Park Slope.
Having never stayed in PS before let alone Brooklyn I am looking for some recommendations for the area for next week.
Specifically... one or two good brunch places with some interesting egg dishes. I was kicked out of Shopsins the last time I was in New York (I had no clue about this place!) and will attempt a second visit upon my return.
Any cheap to mid price dinners of any and all cultures would also be wonderful as well as any quick bites/snacks during the day.
re: Bob Martinez
alot of those places are closed by now, and there are SO many new and fabulous restaurants that have opened since.
re: secondbecky
You're right. Sorry.
Having said that, there are regular "best of Park Slope" threads that pop up here like kudzu. The search engine is a pretty useful thing to have around.
Here's a 23 post thread from August of 2008:
And a 7 post thread from October of 2008:
And an 8 post thread from August 2008:
don't mean to hijack, but...
oh please tell me why you were kicked out of shopsins!?
I've wanted to go for so long but havne't had a chance yet, and am curious to know the protocol.
ANYWAYS, back on point.
My new favorite place for brunch is Miriam on 5th Ave and maybe Bergen. Try the burekas. it's also amazing for dinner.
re: secondbecky
oooh i want to hear the shopsin's tale as well!
i still really love 12th Street when I find myself in PS at the brunch (or dinner) hour:
Glad there are some more options to choose from. The original post made it sound like blandsville in Park Slope.
Ok Shopins. So I actually went on a tip I received from Chowhound asking about the best egg dishes in Manhattan. I was told to order the "egg/pancake/bacon" mashup. Of course, if you've seen Shopsin's menu you would know that it would be impossible to find this (or pretty much even read the menu itself!). So when I asked Mr. Kenny Shopsin for this recommendation he claimed I didn't know what I wanted and that I was confused and to GET OUT. He took the coffee right out of my hand! Needless to say, I was a little shocked and slightly mortified. When I got home (back here in Canada) I read up on the little bugger and had quite the chuckle. What a guy! Since then I've bought his cookbook and have been working on perfecting my scambled eggs. I'm excited to try again and hope he doesn't recognize me!
re: airsey
You may be interested in the documentary about the Shopsin's called 'I Like Killing Flies' (if you haven't already seen it).
Also, there is Dizzy's in the Slope which has been there a very long time and people love which you could check out as well:
Hey Aaron,
Welcome to Park Slope. Here's hoping you have a great time.
The reply from Bob Martinez listing the three threads is, as usual, on the money. And even though I agree with most of what was said in those posts, I'll post here to save you a few clicks (and get my own opinion in).
My four favorite restaurants in Park Slope are Al Di La, Applewood, Blue Ribbon and Stone Park (listed alphabetically).
Al Di La is one of the really fine Italian restaurants in New York City and it really is worth a visit. The prices are very reasonable and the wine list is affordable. Plus, they have a small and inviting wine bar a few doors from the restaurant down Carroll Street. On the downside, ADL does not take reservations and there can be long waits, depending. Also, the seating can be tight, also depending. But it is really worth a visit if the major criterion is top flight Italian.
Applewood is another small and inviting restaurant, this one on 11th Street off Seventh Avenue. They pride themselves on using local foods and they often have "farmer's dinners" or similar, where the growers and purveyors come and speak to the diners. It has a working fireplace, so if it is a cold night, Applewood can be very snug.
Blue Ribbon is not inexpensive and it can get loud and crowded, but in my opinion, they get it right. They have a good wine list, somewhat overpriced, but well chosen, and some of their dishes are excellent. I almost always have the grilled fish of the day. My wife and I love to visit early in the evening before the crowd gets going, and we are always well-treated.
I've had dinner at Stone Park several times in the past few months, and the visits have been uniformly excellent. Try the octopus salad and the grilled pork chop, two of my favorites. They also have a decent wine list at reasonable prices. I particularly like the Pinot Gris they stock, and on our last visit we had a Turley Zinfandel for around $50 - $55, which I think is a great price.
Bottom line for these four restaurants is that they all offer consistently good food, consistently good service and an overall excellent dining experience at relatively reasonable prices, especially if you order your beverages carefully and prudently.
Please let us know where you finall go and what your thoughts are.
Happy holidays...
re: BrookBoy
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond and for the in depth descriptions. I am now excited to eat in Park Slope!
I probably will only do 1 or 2 "expensive" meals as I am with a friend on a budget. The first night we are taking out our hosts to Al Di La which has been seeming to get uniform praise.
Tuesday night I'd like to do the prix fixe at Melt.
If I end up doing one more expensive meal in Brooklyn it seems like the choice should be Stone Park. Hopefully I will get to try it!
Otherwise this is what I have on my PS list:
Taro Sushi
Joyce Bake Shop (for a quick croissant)
James (brunch)
Miriam (brunch)
Wing Wagon
I heard Ortine just opened as well so I might look at that. And I will definitely hop on the subway to get to DiFara Pizzeria at some point to grab a slice.
If any of those places are really bad or if you can think of any others (preferably on the cheaper side) please let me know. I will report back after the trip!
re: airsey
Coffee at Dizzy's is really the only reason to stop there. The food is so-so. Also, people rave about Bonnies burgers, but they're all about the stuff on top, not the meat. They're not bad, just nothing to flip over. Helio's in Park Slope has much better burgers, and if you're willing to travel a few minutes outside of PS to Windsor Terrace (1 stop further than 9th Street in PS to 15th St in WT) it's a short walk to an excellent burger at the unfortunately named Rhythm-and-Booze. One more place I'd add is Palo Santo for creative Latin inspired dishes. Enjoy!
re: Claire
Just to stick up for Bonnie's (also open for lunch) the burgers are GREAT, as are the fries and the chipotle mayo (a.k.a. crack fries)
Stone Park makes awesome brunch -- good savory dishes like bluefish cakes, sausage biscuits, shrimp and grits....
re: cbking
I just don't see what everyone loves about Bonnie's burgers. I've had them about three times and while they were cooked correctly (med rare) they were dry and pretty flavorless. It's really the stuff on top--that mayo and the jalapenos--that gave them taste. And the bun is too large. There are better--much better-burgers in the slope. Haven't tried the wings so I can't comment on those.
re: Claire
I did a taste test with friends (neutral territory, the The Gate) who swore the sliders from the bar at Stone Park were burgers above all burgers. (I just think it's a different style) Bonnie's won converts all around.
And no way no how was a medium rare burger "dry", although I'm with you that the rolls are too bready. I don't usually eat all of the bread.
What's so good? They dip the big fat (but not too big fat) patty in a spice blend and cook it correctly on a grill. It's not rocket science. Ditto the spectacular fries -- right size, right temp oil, right condiment.
But it's always too crowded at peak hours, so please go to Helios and we're all happy!
: )
re: pitu
Unless you were sharing the burger with me you wouldn't know that the one I had was dry. Your experience has been different, obviously. So I'll happily eat my burger at Helio's as you suggested, and you and your converted friends can enjoy yours at Bonnies.:)
he burgers I had were dry.
re: Claire
I find Bonnies very overrated. The spice rub on them is all you taste and it tastes burnt and dry.
re: Claire
Ugh, I can't disagree more. Did you get the unseasoned burgers? Whenever my boyfriend and I visit Bonnie's, the burgers are perfectly seasoned and marinated with whatever special blend of spices and sauces they use -- is it worchestershire? Balsamic vinegar? I know they offer unseasoned burgers for people adverse to spice, so maybe you've accidentally gotten one of those. The chipotle mayo and grilled jalapenos are to die for.
Weirdly, this is one place I prefer a side salad though -- whatever balsamic dressing they use is awesome.
re: jillysp
it's not that I'm adverse to spices, I embrace spice, but I'd like to taste the meat in my burger and my Bonnie's burger was all charred spice. To me burgers don't need to be marinated or overly seasoned, you just need good quality chuck, some salt and pepper and a nice crust with a medium-rare center. Bonnie's didn't have any of that unfortunately.
re: ginsbera
Gins, have to give you a nod of support on Bonnies. I mean, do you want your burger to taste like grilled spices and marinades? Or like beef? I've learned to order the unseasoned (and I love spicy food) when I"m dragged there by the groupies, but if I want a good local burger it's would never be on my list.
re: bklynbiker
glad you agree. It's all personal preference, I just like to taste the meat when I eat a burger, not char. I enjoy Dram Shops burger alot, Soda can put out a good one sometimes, Barette has these nice medium sized burgers and Beast is pretty tasty as well.
re: ginsbera
It's quite a different beast, but I've been surprised to find that Bar Toto makes a really excellent burger. It's served on toast with american cheese and sauteed onions, and it's the size of your fist - definitely the other end of the burger spectrum from Dram Shop's, which I also love. Either way, it's juicy as all get out, and the meat tastes like it's really high quality.
Also, their fries are some of the best in the Slope, though the burger is usually so big that I feel disgusting if I don't replace the fries with a salad.
re: cjd260
The burgers at Bar Toto are definitely very good but they're served on pannini bread unless there's been a change in the last couple of months.
Their menu says the same thing -
re: Bob Martinez
Sorry, you're correct - toast != panini, but I haven't had one for a couple of weeks (dieting for a bathing suit-heavy vacation) and forgot the specific bread.
re: ginsbera
I havent had one from there in years, but awhile back I was amazed that one of the Slope's best burgers was at Sante Fe grill on 7th Ave., of all places. Their mexican is strictly middle of the road (though I like it), but the burger was a most pleasant surprise. As I said, years ago, so cant vouch for now ...
re: Claire
I'd also highly recommend Palo Santo on Union between 4th and 5th. We've been there recently for both brunch and dinner and loved it. The menu changes daily, but there are some things that seem to be pretty consistent. For brunch, I've enjoyed the french toast with stewed fruit and omelette w/zucchini and cheese grits and my husband has ordered the pork sandwich w/homemade pickles twice because it was so good. For dinner, we've had the beet salad, pork tacos, both chicken and seafood posados, a curry duck dish and a grilled trout. Everything has been excellent. The last time we went for dinner (12/6), they offered a $20-25 three course prix fixe, which is a great great bargain. Not sure if that's every night though. We've always been happy with the service, which is helpful (we didn't know several items on the menu) without being condescending or cloying.
re: airsey
Wing Wagon?? that may be pretty disappointing - the last time I went the wings were very dry.
If you are right around tFlatbush Ave here (more on the Prospect Hts side), you might want to check out Christies for Jamaican Patties or even Castillo del Jagua at Park and Flatbush. Its not great, but if you havent had dominican food you could give it a try, at least whiff the garlic pork by the door. Amorina is also veryt good for a budget, a fresh style of individual pizzas and some other very good Italian things on Vanderbilt near Prospect. Geido is also nearby and makes pretty good okinomiaki - its better for cooked food than Taro.
I havent heard much about Alchemy recently, Im dubious due to a lot of fairly negative reports early on.
I dont know if I would take the trouble to go all the way out to DiFara's for a slice - take a friend and order a whole square pie, you will get better service and have some leftovers.
re: jen kalb
I'd add Sidecar to your list for either brunch or dinner.
re: AimeeD
I just read a thread on Sidecar and it appears it is or used to allow bring your own wine? Any idea if this is still the case?
re: airsey
I don't know if they still allow BYOB, but I know that they opened as a restaurant before they got their liquor license, and there were threads to that effect at the time. I'd be surprised if they still allowed it without corkage.
That said, their cocktails are really excellent - it would be a waste to go their and bring a bottle of wine rather than ordering off of their cocktail menu.
While I'm here, I second deleting Bonnie's from your list. Not that it's bad, but there's nothing particularly special about it. As long as you're from anywhere else in the US, you can probably have an equally good burger at home.
Also, I should mention that I've had some so-so experiences at Stone Park. It really depends on what you're looking for. The food is little-g good but fairly predictable, and the service and prices always make me feel like it's trying to be Manhattan.
More constructively: Al Di La is no reservations, and the wait for four can be very long. I'd get a backup reservation at Tempo just in case - it's a good enough restaurant that you could make it your primary destination - but be nice and call to cancel if you find that the wait at Al Di La isn't too bad.
Also, where in Park Slope are you staying? If you can make it far enough down to Sidecar, you should also look at Beer Table for an interesting, beer-centered meal on an off night. And maybe take a step down in price and think about Little D (right across the street from Beer Table) for your other "expensive" dinner. Both are smaller, quirkier, much less formal and a bit more Brooklyn than some of the places you've mentioned.
re: cjd260
AL DI LA just started serving LUNCH, Weds-Sunday.
The pastas are very special (malfatti, mmmm) as are the chard stems in vinegar and anchovy butter.
If you're walking over to Prospect Heights, THE ISLANDS has deeeelicious Carribbean food and it's not expensive. (My fave is the jerk lamb.) The Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkway is a block away.
re: jen kalb
Is DiFara that far away? It seems like a simple ride along the Q line to get there. That makes me nervous since I was planning on going into Manhattan almost every night to go out! Looks like the money I saved in hotels will be made up in cabs back home.
re: airsey
I dont mean that it is far, only that you may wait a long time (maybe up to an hour) for that slice - and I dont think the slices are the best thing they offer. Good idea to go at on off hour on a weekday, not on the weekend or eveing - and, like I said to go with a friend and get a whole pie, preferably a square.
re: jen kalb
Thanks jen kalb.. I will plan on it!
re: airsey
I'd skip Alchemy for a meal - maybe a drinking snack. Food is not that good.
If you're on a budget, I'd suggest doing Stone Park for brunch. I've only been once, but it was great and I'm looking forward to going back. I had a shrimp and grits dish served with a poached egg. Yum!
There's a new restaurant on Union, just off of 7th Avenue called Bussaco. I've enjoyed the pork sandwich, the burger and the crab chowder. They have a great wine selection and there's usually great South African, Dub or soul music playing. You can eat at the bar which provides an opportunity to chat with the locals (if you so desire).
Have a great visit.
re: Rodrigo
Bussaco is very good. I had a number of dishes there and see some great promise.
re: ginsbera
Bussaco's chef recently changed I think -- at least according to Time Out: http://www3.timeoutny.com/newyork/the...
I went again after I found that out, wondering if the quality had declined. It actually seems like they've increased the portion sizes -- and they instituted a new prix fixe menu for early diners -- $32 for three courses and three generous wine pairings. Really good value and really tasty. Definitely a great substitute for my usual happy hour at DUMBO's Superfine!
re: Rodrigo
I really like Bussaco but they salt their pork WAY too much. it's almost inedible. I told our waiter who said he's had similar complaints, but the chef says it's "SUPPOSED" to be like that. Um, as a former resident of North Carolina, I can tell you that pulled pork is NOT supposed to be like that.
Anyways, definitely try the pretzels there. yum
Thanks again for the other additions. I will add them to my list and whittle it down. A close friend (non chower) recommended Achemy and Wing Wagon so that is the reason for those inclusions.
Does anyone have a specific comment about Melt? Particularly the Tuesday night prix fixe? It seems like a good deal and the few posts I read on it were positiveish.
re: airsey
only had brunch at Melt and found it to be just okay. They do have very good specials, but I can't speak to the dinner service or food.
re: airsey
I ate at Melt maybe two months ago and it was good. COnsistent. Maybe not the best meal of your life but worth a trip. If you have limited days/ meals, I'd skip it
in favor of:
Frannys for pizza
Tempo (heard great things but never been myself)
Sushi at Blue Ribbon or JPan
Beers at Draft Barn (new)
Amazing wings, french fries and burgers at Plan B in Prospect Heights.
(forget Bonnies for burgers, but I hear they have great wings)
I find al di la to be overrated, but I only went once so I feel I should give it another chance. Cheaper Italian right down the block at La Villa - more southern italian whereas al di la is northern - at La Villa the penne a la vodka and ceaser salads, along with the grandma's pizza, are divine.
Mexian at Piramide
Peruvian at Coco Roco.
Applewood for sure
re: secondbecky
I would make a few adjustments, but agree with a lot of the above:
Amorina in P Heights for Pizza
Geido or Taro for Sushi (Blue Ribbon is overpriced)
Al Di La for Italian
James, Bussaco, Rose Water and Applewood for new creative American
Dram Shop , Lighthouse and Barrette for bar food
Flatbush Farm for some comfort food (french dip, mac and cheese)
Mitchells for Sandwiches
La Taqueria (not La Taq) for Mexican
re: ginsbera
I would add Convivium Osteria. I think their food is competitive with all the other top Slope restaurants, and their atmosphere is unique and charming, especially in the wine cellar.
re: ginsbera
I'd second the burger (and the deep fried mac and cheese) at Dram Shop. Awesome burger, budget-friendly. You don't necessarily want to hang there (it's kind of sports bar like), so afterwards head up to Barbe's (9th St. and 6th ave) for some really great music in the back room.
re: bebevonbernstein
I've heard that the burger at Dram Shop is good. Planning to give it a try soon. Can you elaborate on the fried mac & cheese? How is it served?
re: Claire
It's, um, fried. Mac and cheese.
Only six pieces, though (but it's only $6!), so I usually order it as an appetizer to split before the burger (i say "usually" -- but I've only been there once! Going again tonight before a party). BTW, they have pretty great dressings with it (only remember the Ranch, but it was homemade Ranch -- very good). It's hearty enough that we had some left over last time.
Before the burger, which, by the way, is similar to Five Guys: thin patty, double or single. It was the burger that got me on the "thin-burger" side of that argument (vs. bigger is better).
While we're on the subject . . .they have a fairly limited, pubby type menu -- but there wasn't anything on it I didn't want to eat. And, just as the burger is, it was all a cut above (ie, fresher, with more homemade acoutrements -- such as the abovementioned Ranch dressing -- than your usual pub grub).
re: bebevonbernstein
I understand that something fried means it's fried, I was wondering how it was served: a big brick, small pieces etc. Thanks for the description and the other descriptions as well.
re: Claire
I actually make my own copycat version of their fried mac and cheese - it comes in balls by the way.
Definitely great bar food at Dram Shop.
Loved James too. Very cozy.
Conviviuum is out of this world, and the best wine list in the area.
I like V-Spot on 5th Ave. It's a vegan place. The nachos are delicious- they fry their own tortilla chips. My sister in law loves the Colombina dish on the menu- i don't remember the full name- bendejeh something or other. We're all meat eathers and love this place.
I'd like to remain positive rather than bashing some of the obvious awful places to eat in Park Slope....Here is my top 10 of 2008 in no order: Applewood, Al Di La, Anthonys, Dram Shop, Blue Ribbon Sushi, Elementi, Tempo, Flatbush Farm, Frannys and Barrio.
The most over-hyped meal of the year had to be Bussaco. I was excited after reading some reviews, I was looking forward to "the freshest mozzarella." It was basically elmers glue on a plate.The "Chowder" that Danyelle Friedman raved about in the Daily News made me question her palate...not sure how water, milk, potato and crab bits equals anything of any value. Her reviews and taste are forever tainted...comped meals must make crap food easier to take down.
re: PiedmontDave
If a reviewer gets a comped meal it's not crap, even if what you tasted was. (From your description I'd have to agree.)
re: Claire
i had a good meal at Bussaco and even reviewed it on my own. I found the service good and the strengths being the meat courses. The problems with our meal were the tasteless fish courses which I was shocked by being that the chef used to work at Le Benardin. What did you have at Bussaco? I've had the mozzarella and found it delicious when they first opened, but did not have the chowder. I plan on going back to try the burger and clam pizza on the bar menu.
re: ginsbera
I really enjoyed the pretzels and the mozzerella. But... and I've said this in otehr reviews of this place as well - the Pulled Pork was SO OVERLY SALTED. We told the waiter, who said that he's been told that often (we were there the third week it opened, so that's saying something), but that the chef says its SUPPOSED to be that salty. I CALL BS. I've lived in North Carolina and know my pulled pork thank you very much.
re: secondbecky
never had the pork, but if it's too salty then they should have done something to fix it. Oh well, maybe growing pains. I stopped in the other night, had the pretzels, the salmon and gravlax tartare, scallop app and clam pizza at the bar. All very good. The pizza was interesting, a rather thick dough, it was almost like a focaccia, but topped with clams in their shells making it a ton of fun to pour the clam juice on the pizza. The scallops in garlic bread sauce were also good, and of course VERY garlicky. Fortunately I like garlic so neither the pizza or scallops scared me away. Next time, the burger.
I just wanted to thank everyone for their recommendations. I see the topic of conversation evolved a little bit which is nice to see.
I had an amazing time in New York but unfortunately only ended up eating at a couple of places in PS: Tempo for dinner (pretty good overall had the tagliatelle with oxtail ragu and shared paprika dusted frites), Miriam for brunch (bureka was fantastic and the atmosphere exactly how i like), and Wing Wagon (i won't trust my friend's recs again!). Unfortunately, Al Di La was closed past New Years so that's how we ended up at Tempo. PS is a beautiful neighbourhood and if I ever move to NYC that is where I want to be.
On a positive note, I was able to eat at Shopsins and while Kenny yelled at someone else he left me alone thank goodness. My best brunch though was at Clinton st. Baking Company but now I'm talking Manhattan so I'll leave it at that.
Thanks again!
re: airsey
awesome! Glad you got to experience the area. And yay for trying Miriam!
re: secondbecky
yeah wing wagon is a run of the mill wing place and only good as a fall back when you are looking to save money and eat quickly.
I've yet to find great wings in the area (which opens up a whole 'nother convo we should leave on another board).
Glad you like the neighborhood!
re: ginsbera
well i do believe there is a "BEST WING" thread on the Manhattan boards (or maybe on SErious Eats NY - cant remember) - and they recommend Bonnie's in PS on 5th Avenue as one of the best.
re: NYJewboy
"Airsey" has returned home long ago.
re: NYJewboy
Ate at Al Di La tonight after reading the posts and it was every bit as good as everyone says. The beet and ricotta ravioli were a revelation!

The Top 10 Complaints From Unhappy Wives
Even the best marriages are occasionally bogged down by these annoying but common grievances. Good news is, you can totally fix them.
By Anna Davies
You're not alone: Channing Tatum recently admitted that his wife, Jenna Dewan Tatum, wasn't always happy with his alcohol-guzzling habits. But watch what you're sipping as well—one study found that married women drink more than their single friends. Researchers suggest this is likely a result of couples falling into some less-than-healthy habits. (We're looking at you, red wine and Netflix nights.) Making a choice to drink less together is a good start, and if you suspect it's more than just a habit, Al-Anon is an excellent resource.

I got back to the boat late last night, after an intense three days of presentations and discussions. This was my third year presenting at this conference, and I am at this point quite heavily invested in this annual event and have started to take on roles I didn't even know existed when I first showed up there three years ago not knowing what to expect.
For those who haven't heard of this conference before, here is a synopsis. The venue is unusual for a conference: it is a large campground that occupies a bit of high ground surrounded by a fast-flowing creek nestled in the Allegheny mountains, a few miles from the Maryland border, but quite accessible because it is just a few miles from Interstate 68 and a fast two-hour drive from Baltimore. For those flying via BWI airport, there are usually enough locals driving by BWI on the way to the conference that rides can be arranged. If flying with camping gear is problematic, there is a dormitory with bunk beds and some semi-private rooms. The accommodations are basic, but there are flush toilets, hot showers, free tea and coffee available virtually around the clock, bonfires for when it gets chilly, and two satisfying and plentiful meals a day. A visit to the sweat lodge, optionally followed by a dip in the creek, rounds out the non-intellectual part of the experience.
The intellectual part of the experience is a sort of Epicurean feast for the connoisseurs of collapse. (There are plenty of conferences at which the topic of collapse has been banned; consequently, I am no longer invited to them-to my relief, because life is short, and speaking at these conferences makes it that much shorter.) Virtually all of the attendees without exception have successfully navigated their way through the grieving stage of denial prior to showing up, and there is almost no discussion of whether financial, economic, social or civilizational collapses are possible and/or likely, or whether this is something that beautiful people shouldn't even worry their pretty little heads about. If you show up while still grappling with denial, then, in all likelihood, your head will explode, and while there will be helpful people on hand to help you find scattered pieces of your cranium in the tall grass, you will spend most of the conference gluing the pieces back together, and will miss out on all the fun. So, if you are new to the topic of collapse but curious about it, please acquaint yourself with the Kübler-Ross model and do whatever you have to, prior to showing up, to get past Stage 1. For maximum effectiveness, try to make it all the way to Stage 5 (acceptance).
In addition to the usual suspects (Gail Tverberg, Albert Bates, John-Michael Greer and me) this year featured a couple of star speakers: Dennis Meadows and Mark Cochrane.
Dennis is Emeritus Professor of Systems Management, former Director of the Institute for Policy and Social Science Research at the University of New Hampshire, and Lead Researcher and co-author of the Club of Rome's 1972 publication, The Limits to Growth. He successfully predicted the collapse of industrial civilization four decades ago-successfully in that the model he presented back in 1972 has been in remarkable agreement with observations ever since. Since then, he has collected several large boxes of articles attempting to disprove his claims, and a slender stack of articles pointing out that he was right. Even in science, getting it right is not the path to recognition if the truth contradicts the dominant paradigm (of infinite economic growth on a finite planet).

Networking company Brocade has three denser blades for its big iron data centre and carrier switches, meaning they can sit at the centre of even bigger networks than before.

The ports don't technically have 8Gb of bandwidth
The ports signal at 8Gbps speeds, but they are heavily oversubscribed, so the available average bandwidth is far less.

There is an element of oversubscription but in a true Service provisioning environment, it is possible to provide 8gb per port. This is not possible in the competing Cisco product. Also the management of the Brocade products is far easier and more transparent than the other gear. Just personal experience of course...........

Best fudge I have ever made or eaten! Creamy, sets up great especially overnight, and can be cut into perfect squares very well. Everyone loved it!
This is an awesome recipe! I have made it several times and it always turns out perfect. By far one of my favorite recipes! I highly recommend it, especially if you have not tried it before!
This is the BEST peanut butter fudge! So quick & has a wonderful creamy taste. It just melts in your mouth! I always get compliments on it!
Made this about a week before Christmas, and can't stay out of it! Very easy.
yes it's simple and very good!
This is the best Peanut Butter Fudge and the fastest to make!!! Delicious! ;>)
I have made this recipe for several years now and get lots of compliments. People ask for the recipe and I send them straight to Land 0' Lakes website where they always find other fantastic recipes.
I made this fudge yesterday. It turned out really smooth, creamy, and very delicious. The only problem I had with it is that it was to soft and didn't get hard enough to cut. I followed the directions step by step so not sure what the problem was but it is a good fudge.
this recipe works great and it is very good.
I made this fudge to give to my family for Christmas. It is so easy to make, and moist. Keep up the easy recipes for us whoare limited on time. TERAT
This is a great treat and my daughters favorite. At the holidays I'm always asked to fix their favorite treats and they all love this. I will continue to make it. It is so easy and takes very little time and you can't go wrong.

Thanksgiving dinner is all about the turkey. But let's be honest – a Thanksgiving meal wouldn't be complete without side dishes. Most of us think that they're almost as important as the main dish. Obviously, buttery mashed potatoes are always on the side dish list, as well as some sort of green bean casserole (at least with our families' dinners). Those are great choices, but if you want to spice things up a little bit this year with something new and different, the Test Kitchen team is here to help! More ...

Well color me not surprised in the slightest. New photos have surfaced of Octomom Nadya Suleman's home that have triggered a police and child services investigation into allegations that her 14 kids are living in horrendous conditions.
The inevitable conclusion to this tale. Despite posing topless for a mere $8-10,000 (the amount keeps changing), Octomom is now officially on welfare.

Gotta pay rent somehow now that the public interest well is dry. Octomom is so desperate for money, she did what she swore she would never do, pose nude for cash.

The nose is gentle and creamy with light fruits and a little nutty development. The palate is quite sweet with notes of subdued peat, winter spice and a nutty note. The finish is long and beautifully bittersweet.
When i was first introduced to the Yamazaki 18 it was $99 a bottle. With it around $225 I can no longer keep it in circulation. This bottle from Yoichi is every bit as good as the Yamazaki 18. Exceptional.
24th February 2014
Had this whisky last night. It had some fruit, slightly peated and the wood was very dominante. Good for a dram.
27th December 2013
The only Whisky better than this, in my opinion, is the 20 year old but that's twice the price and only slightly better. I don't drink Whisky much so for me to spend £80 on a bottle, it has to be something special.
1st March 2013
The thing about yoichi is its batch variation,ive had distinctly average malts but ive also had some stunners. Right now ive got a bottle of this open which is one of the best ive had; subtle nose with a light splash of sherry, sweet start to the mouth and very fruity. Handful of nuts appear as it all goes savoury and good quality smoke wafts in (very light and quality cigar). Just when you think its done the sweetness makes a reprieve and last long with a lovely kiss of sherry. No sulphur in sight. No chill filtering and maybe 46-48% and this would be remarkable.

Charles Krauthammer: The real news from Obama's Israel trip
Barack Obama, in Jerusalem, March 21
Very true. But how does the other side feel about Israeli kids?
Consider that the most revered parent in Palestinian society is Mariam Farhat of Gaza. Her distinction? Three of her sons died in various stages of trying to kill Israelis - one in a suicide attack, shooting up and hurling grenades in a room full of Jewish students.
She gloried in her "martyr" sons, wishing only that she had 100 boys like her schoolroom suicide attacker to "sacrifice . for the sake of God." And for that she was venerated as "mother of the struggle," elected to parliament and widely mourned upon her recent passing.
So much for reciprocity. In the Palestinian territories, streets, public squares, summer camps, high schools, even a kindergarten are named after suicide bombers and other mass murderers. So much for the notion that if only Israelis would care about Arab kids, peace would be possible.
Israelis have forever wanted nothing more than peace and security for all the children. That's why they accepted the 1947 U.N. partition of British Palestine into a Jewish and Arab state. Unfortunately - another asymmetry - the Arabs said no. To this day, the Palestinians have rejected every peace offer that leaves a Jewish state standing.
This is not ancient history. Yasser Arafat said no at Camp David in 2000 and at Taba in 2001. And in 2008, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert offered a Palestinian state on all of the West Bank (with territorial swaps) with its capital in a shared Jerusalem. Mahmoud Abbas walked away.
In that same speech, Obama blithely called these "missed historic opportunities" that should not prevent peace-seeking now. But these "missed historic opportunities" are not random events. They present an unbroken, unrelenting pattern over seven decades of rejecting any final peace with Israel.
So what was the point of Obama's Jerusalem speech encouraging young Israelis to make peace, a speech the media drooled over? It was mere rhetoric, a sideshow meant to soften the impact on the Arab side of the really important event of Obama's trip: the major recalibration of his position on the peace process.
Obama knows that peace talks are going nowhere. First, because there is no way that Israel can sanely make concessions while its neighborhood is roiling and unstable - the Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt, rockets being fired from Gaza, Hezbollah brandishing 50,000 missiles aimed at Israel, civil war raging in Syria with its chemical weapons and rising jihadists, and Iran threatening openly to raze Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Second, peace is going nowhere because Abbas has shown Obama over the last four years that he has no interest in negotiating. Obama's message to Abbas was blunt: Come to the table without preconditions, i.e., without the excuse of demanding a settlement freeze first.
Obama himself had contributed to this impasse when he imposed that precondition - for the first time ever in the history of Arab-Israeli negotiations - four years ago. And when Israel responded with an equally unprecedented 10-month settlement freeze, Abbas didn't show up to talk until more than nine months in - then walked out, never to return.
In Ramallah, Obama didn't just address this perennial Palestinian dodge. He demolished the very claim that settlements are the obstacle to peace. Palestinian sovereignty and Israeli security are "the core issue," he told Abbas. "If we solve those two problems, the settlement problem will be solved."
Finally. Presidential validation of the screamingly obvious truism: Any peace agreement will produce a Palestinian state with not a single Israeli settlement remaining on its territory. Any settlement on the Palestinian side of whatever border is agreed upon will be demolished. Thus, any peace that reconciles Palestinian statehood with Israeli security automatically resolves the settlement issue. It disappears.
Yes, Obama offered the ritual incantations about settlements being unhelpful. Nothing new here. He could have called them illegal or illegitimate. It wouldn't have mattered - because Obama officially declared them irrelevant.
Exposing settlements as a mere excuse for the Palestinian refusal to negotiate - that was the news, widely overlooked, coming out of Obama's trip. It was a breakthrough.
Will it endure? Who knows. But when an American President so sympathetic to the Palestinian cause tells Abbas to stop obstructing peace with that phony settlement excuse, something important has happened. Abbas, unmasked and unhappy, knows this better than anyone.

Venture inland to an epic countryside of protected landscapes, rolling hills, wild moorlands, ancient woodlands and wetland habitats, dotted with historic towns and villages.
At the heart of what makes Somerset tick is its distinctive culture and history that includes willow and cider making, great local food & drink, the legends of Kings Arthur and Alfred and much more. (www.visitsomerset.co.uk)

Something must be done about Dave Rivera. That's the sentiment from at least three commissioners in Coconut Creek who think the city's manager has let his temper get the better of him in discussions with both them and city residents.
Mayor Becky Tooley, Vice Mayor Lisa Aronson, and newly elected Commissioner Sandy Welch publicly spoke about their experiences with Rivera's alleged inappropriate behavior, which included not listening to requests from the commissioners, yelling at them, and yelling at residents who questioned city operations.

Christmas Dessert Ideas
- FoodChic Dec 7, 2011 03:21 PM
For Christmas dinner we have a seafood extravaganza with Maine lobster, dungeness crab, seared scallops, clams, parmesan halibut fingers, shrimp fried rice and asparagus. It's a fabulous meal that is incredibly rich, and needs an equally fabulous dessert,
I don't want to serve something too heavy, as dinner will be heavy enough. I'm thinking of something that will cut the richness but still be memorable.
Thanks for your wonderful ideas!
What about mousses? A pumpkin mousse is great. Cranberry might be better to cut through the richer flavors. Lemon souffle would work really well considering all of the seafood.
How about poached pears? As someone else suggested a mousse or souffle would be nice.
They may not be as elegant as you want but I like this new restaurant trend where they are making small individual desserts. You could make almost anything, even if it were heavy, if it is in a 4 ounce ramekin. A pot de creme would work nicely here.
I know... how about a mousse in a small chocolate cup. You can make the cup with foil muffin liners. Paint 3 or 4 layers of chocolate on the inside and then peel away the foil. Pipe the mousse into the cup, garnish with a raspberry. Very elegant to live up to your dinner but small enough to be able to eat after such a meal.
I like the idea of something citrusy with all that seafood - what about a key lime pie or cheesecake? Or the famous Brown Derby Grapefruit Cake? http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/grape...
I served a sabayon (made with Sauternes) "trifle style"over a pound cake/cream/Huckleberries at Thanksgiving. Very nice and adapts to whatever fruit and wine is your favorite at that moment. If you fold in whipped cream in the sabayon sauce- it will keep in the fridge to be put together fresh when needed. Elegant and works well.
I can't recommend enough this lemon budino recipe (you don't need meyers if you can't find them). It's light, it's refreshing, it's reasonably healthy, and it can't be made ahead! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
re: katecm
That's a lovely one. I agree that lemon is the perfect flavor to follow all that gorgeous seafood.
I've been craving croquembouche, but it's a lot of work. Do you have a bakery nearby that could make you one?

Conflict of Interest
As defined in the University of Delaware's Policies and Procedures Manual, " a potential conflict of interest occurs when there is a divergence between an individual's private interests and his or her professional obligations such that an independent observer might reasonably question whether the individual's professional actions or decisions are influenced by considerations of personal gain, financial or otherwise. A potential conflict of interest depends on the situation, and not on the character or actions of the individual."

Effort Certification
Effort Certification is defined as the reporting and confirmation of an employee's time spent conducting any University activity that typically is expressed as a percentage of the total institutional compensated based time — Institutional Based Salary (IBS). The University of Delaware has an online Effort Certification System.
Export Controls
University research is subject to U.S. Export Control laws that protect national security and trade, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), implemented by the U.S. Department of State, and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), implemented by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), which is part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, also is responsible for administering and enforcing economic and trade sanctions against certain nations, entities, and individuals.

Federal Cost Accounting Principles (REQUIRED for PI)
Statement of PI Responsibilities at the University of Delaware
Serving as a Principal Investigator (PI) at the University of Delaware brings significant rewards and confers concomitant responsibilities. PIs are responsible for the intellectual direction of research and scholarship and for the education and training of students. In carrying out these critical tasks, PIs are also responsible for compliance with laws and regulations that touch on all aspects of the research enterprise.
To ensure compliance with applicable rules, regulations, and contract requirements, the University of Delaware requires all PIs to receive training in the financial management of sponsored projects. Developed for PIs already at the University, the University's training program focuses on stewardship of funds, mandatory reporting requirements, and particularized training in the fundamentals of federal grant and contract accounting. PIs must complete mandatory training before the University will release project funding.

Human Subjects in Research
University policy (Research policy 6-4) and federal law require that all research involving living human subjects be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).
More on Human Subjects in Research >
Training in the protection of human subjects in research is required for all university members (i.e., faculty, students, researchers, and staff), and collaborators, who will directly interact with research participants or have access to identifiable private information. Training in human subjects protections must be completed, and the completion report obtained, prior to seeking review and approval from the IRB to conduct research. In addition, it is required that all personnel actively engaged in human subjects research maintain current training by completing the course every three years. Training is available, and must be completed, online through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program.
- To complete online training, users need to register at the CITI Program site and affiliate with the University of Delaware. Several training courses are available under the UD affiliation. Training in the responsible conduct of research (RCR) DOES NOT fulfill the training requirement to perform human subjects research. Once registered in CITI Program, researchers must select the appropriate 'learner group' depending on the scope of the research activities they will be involved with; (1) Human Subjects Protections - Biomedical Focus- All Researchers; (2) Human Subjects Protections - Social-Behavioral-Educational Focus - All Researchers; (3) Human Subjects Protections - Annual Certification (only to be completed if yearly certification requirement applies); (4) Human Subjects Protections for IRB Members (IRB Members) ; and (5) Human Subjects Protections - Non-UD Researchers (non UD-collaborators)
- Once a learner group is selected a list of all the required training modules will populate and need to be completed. The program is available online 24/7, users may stop at any time and return to where they left off, at their convenience and as many times as needed, until the training is finished.
- If a researcher has completed human subjects protections training in CITI Program under a different institution affiliation in the past, he or she must log in to CITI program and add their affiliation to UD. Modules previously taken that are still current will be 'transferred' to the UD course and only required and non-completed modules will need to be completed.
- To successfully complete training a minimum overall passing grade of 85% is a requisite. Once training requirement has been fulfilled, a completion report is generated.
- A researcher may upload his/her training completion report onto his/her www.IRBNet.org user profile. Doing so will link that training record to the investigator profile and automatically be linked to all his/her submissions for review.
- Investigators submitting a research proposal for review to the IRB are responsible for ensuring all researchers to be engaged in human subjects research under his/her supervision hold valid and current training certifications. If researchers have not linked their training certification to their user profile in IRBNet certifications need to be submitted at the time of the application.
- Completion date will be recorded as the day the last required module(s) was completed and course was finished. In order to maintain current training the course must be completed before the three years expiration window. CITI Program will send an automatic reminder 90 days before the most current completed course will expire. A copy of the completion report is automatically sent to the Research Office.
Research Integrity
A prevailing climate of intellectual honesty enhances the research process, and neither inhibits productivity nor creativity. The establishment and maintenance of such an atmosphere is a responsibility that must be accepted by all members of the University of Delaware community.
The University has an affirmative duty to prevent misconduct in its performance of research-related activities. The University also has a legal responsibility to inquire into allegations of research misconduct and to report and investigate all instances where a reasonable presumption if misconduct has been established by inquiry.
Research Misconduct training is provided annually as part of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training. Specific inquires and /or questions pertaining to research misconduct should be directed to the Associate Provost for Research & Regulatory Affairs at firstname.lastname@example.com or (302) 831-2383.
For more information on RCR Training >>
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
Ensuring the responsible conduct of research is the responsibility of every member of the research community. At the University of Delaware faculty, students, and staff are held to the highest standards of conduct in every aspect of the University's academic and research charge. In addition to University policies, researchers are subject to a complex set of international, federal, and state rules and regulations that set boundaries and define acceptable practices for the different scientific fields.
It is the objective of this training to inform about the basic rules that apply to the responsible conduct of research; from ethical considerations in performing research, to the appropriate ways of investigating with human subjects or animals, to the permitted used of research funding, among many others. RCR training is designed to provide the research community with a compiled reference to the guidelines and resources available at UD to responsibly conduct research.
For more information on Responsible Conduct of Research >>
Who is required to attend? Different funding agencies have distinct requirements as to who needs to complete instruction in RCR:
- Per NSF requirement, students (undergraduate and graduate), and postdoctoral researchers receiving NSF funding to perform research are required to obtain RCR training.
- Under NIH policy, RCR instruction is to be taken by all trainees, fellows, and scholars receiving NIH support through any NIH training, career development award (individual or institutional), research education grant, and dissertation research grant. Training should be taken at least once during each career stage and at a frequency of no less than every four years.
- It is the responsibility of every faculty member and PI to ensure that all personnel funded in their project(s) and required to complete RCR training do so in a timely manner.
RCR training at UD is provided in two different formats to facilitate participation.
- An in-person RCR all-day training session is offered annually by the Research Office and the Office of Graduate and Professional Education. Traditionally, the program is scheduled at the end of the winter session and includes presentations and interactive discussions on a complete portfolio of topics related to RCR and tailored to UD such as Research Compliance and Research Ethics.
For graduate student participants, attendance will be noted as a non-credit course completion on their transcript. Pre-registration is required, a link will be provided when training becomes available.
- Training can also be completed online through the CITI Program. As an alternative to in-person RCR instruction, training is available online 24/7 to all members of UD. To complete online training, please register at the CITI program site and affiliate with the University of Delaware. Select the Responsible Conduct of Research course from the Member Information page. You must then select the course that corresponds to your status at the University. To successfully complete training you will have to pass all required modules with a minimum passing grade of 85% overall. Once you have completed all training requirements, you will receive a completion report. A copy of the completion report is automatically sent to Research Office.
Award Administration
This information is designed to assist departmental research administrators — professionals who work with researchers in their unit and with contract-and-grant experts in the Research Office in establishing, maintaining, and closing out research awards.
The University has contracted with Cayuse, a hosted Web solution created specifically for Grants.gov and the complex federal grant proposal process. CAYUSE is a third party system-to-system application run on a web platform and available anywhere.
For more information on CAYUSE>
Proposal Submission
There are many aspects to submitting a successful proposal at the University of Delaware. Remember, it takes time and effort to develop a successful proposal — in fact, proposal success rates average 20–33%, depending on the field. Funding agencies reject half the proposals they receive because the applicant did not follow instructions or the proposal did not match the funding program.

This is a cool deck, but when I play test I end up with Armageddon and Day of Judgment dead draws. Wouldn't two of each be enough?
Armageddon tends to stop your assault mid-stream. I agree with Kevin. 4 of them is a bit much... same with day of judgement. I'd recommend the following changes.
-2 Armageddon, +1 Knight of the Reliquary, +1 Harrow
-2 Day of Judgment, +1 Khalni Heart Expedition, +1 Exploration
still, you get a +1 because of awesome.
thanks! i'll def consider it, i agree, amrageddon tends to be a dead card sometimes
Realy nice idea +1

Quote of the Day – The Magic of Turbine February 21, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in Dungeons & Dragons Online, entertainment, Lord of the Rings Online.
Tags: Turbine, Whistful Friday Thoughts
I admire turbine, they took perhaps the most well known IPs in fantasy and managed to make them small niche mmo
Scott Rankin, in a tweet
Isn't that just a sarcastic stab at the heart of the truth? And there is a whole trail of tweets on the topic if you click on the link.
When you think about it, Dungeons & Dragons and Lord of the Rings are huge IPs and ought to be cash cows if you made a decent game.
I cannot speak for Dungeons & Dragons Online, which has never clicked with me, but I really like and have enjoyed Lord of the Rings Online throughout the years. Getting a lifetime subscription back at launch was one of my best gaming purchases. It probably even offsets the tragic mistake of buying that Star Trek Online lifetime subscription.
And the landscape of Middle-earth looks so good in LOTRO and there are so many excellent features… I can go on and on about the music feature alone.
But I have to admit that things are not perfect. The interface is still not as responsive as it ought to be nearly seven years down the road, the icons are still poor representatives of the actions they trigger, and every time I see the message, "Item use succeeded" I want to do a facepalm. Good debug message for a programmer, not something that should be displayed in the game. And then there is the cash shop.
And with further expansions off the table for now and layoffs and uncertainty as to what will happen between now and 2017, you really cannot help but think that things could have gone better.
I was a lot more hopeful a year back.
- 1. Warsyde - February 21, 2014
Lord of the Rings Online has just never clicked for me. I played it at release, and tried again after it went free to play (I much preferred the subscription version, the cash shop stuff is too invasive in a setting that really requires immersion to work for me), and it's just a niche game that doesn't fit for me.
Funny you should talk about lifetime subs between LoTRO and STO — I never got a lifetime sub to LoTRO but would be kicking myself if I had. In contrast, I have no regrets over my STO lifetime purchase. Different niche . . .
- 5. Whorhay - February 22, 2014
I'm with bhagpuss on this one. When you take an existing IP from a completely different medium you have to sell the existing audience on your vision of that IP. In reality everyone visualizes characters and places they read about differently. Unless it's Robert Jordan's work, because he never left so much as a blade of grass or mote of dust undescribed in amazing detail. And that is just for the aesthetics of the game, you still have to design and implement a game that is fun and engaging to play over the course of years. So few published games are fun to play in that kind of time frame that it should amaze us all that WoW has stuck around so long.
- 11. Stabs - February 22, 2014
That tweet! It burnssss ussss, Precioussss, it burnsssss!

Sondre Lerche has the pop sensibility of someone composing in the 1960s, not a young man who's been alive barely two decades and admits to an obsession with A-Ha. His songs sound like they come from a musician weaned on Tin Pan Alley and rock and roll, both influences funneled into grand symphonies with pop melodies and rock attitude that would have made Burt Bacharach, Henry Mancini and Phil Spector arm wrestle for a chance at collaboration. He's like Brian Wilson minus the weariness, a sunnier Elliott Smith, Wayne Coyne without the drugs, Elvis Costello falling in love for the first time, exhilarated and without cynicism. Lerche's songs are lush, but never crowded, with the subtle touches such as saxes, strings and bongos--a sound hard to replicate live, but worth the opportunity.

- About Deakin
Mr Myers ensured the University's financial management systems kept up with its growth.
"I originally planned to be a proper accountant," Mr Myers reflected.
"But I was in the final year of a business course at the Gordon when they asked me to do the computing unit as an extra subject.
"From there I was asked to apply for a job to set up their administrative systems and I did so because it sounded interesting. I have never really worked as a proper accountant since."
Mr Myers designed the finance system for the Gordon and after Deakin was established designed the University's first early computerised finance system. When the University decided to make the transition to the Oracle Financials System, he worked on the implementation and ensuing upgrades and enhancements to the system.
"I enjoy it, seeing how people can use the system and also helping them use the system to get what they want," he said.
Mr Myers said one of the other major changes during his time with the University was the growth of the University's campus in Waurn Ponds.
"When I came here it was just a bare paddock, it has really changed," he said. "The growth gives you a different perspective."
Mr Myers was recently awarded an OAM in the Queen's Birthday Honours for his contribution to scouting. Mr Myers is the District Commissioner for the city portion of Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula and has been a scout leader for 44 years.
"I often say I am leaving my full-time job here and going to a full-time job outside, but I enjoy it and I'm not ready to retire," he said.

Welcome to
The Java Tutorial
Object-Oriented Programming for the Internet
a practical, online guide
to writing programs in the Java language
This is an online version of The Java Tutorial by Mary Campione and Kathy Walrath--a member of The Java Series. The book is 831 pages long and includes a CD-ROM. To get your copy check at your local bookstore, or you can order a copy from Addison-Wesley.
- This document was last updated 3 Mar 97.
- Copyright.
- Most of the information in this version of the tutorial reflects the API distributed in the 1.0.2 Java Developers Kit (JDK). A few lessons, such as the new native methods lesson, reflect the 1.1 Java Developers Kit and are marked with this icon. For information about the JDK, see the JDK home page.
- For the change history of the tutorial, how to download the tutorial, and other information about this document, see About This Draft.
- For information about the structure and organization of this tutorial please refer to How to Use the Tutorial.
Getting StartedThe most common Java programs are applications and applets. Applications are standalone programs, such as the HotJava browser. Applets are similar to applications, but they don't run standalone. Instead, applets adhere to a set of conventions that lets them run within a Java-compatible browser. If you're using a browser that can view applets, you should see an animation just below this paragraph -- that's an applet embedded in this HTML page.
The "Hello World" Application by Kathy Walrath and Mary Campione
Start here if you want to create standalone Java applications.
The "Hello World" Applet by Kathy Walrath
Start here if you are interested in writing applets only.
What Next?Now that you've seen how to write a Java program, you can proceed with any of the topics below.
Writing Java Programs by Mary Campione
These lessons discuss techniques and concepts that any Java programmer can use. The book version of the tutorial breaks this trail in two:
- Writing Java Programs, which contains the first three lessons shown on the index page for the trail plus a new lesson on Writing Global Programs.
- Using the Core Java Classes, which contains the remaining six lessons.
Writing Applets by Kathy Walrath
These lessons discuss techniques and concepts that are specific to writing Java applets.
Creating a User Interface by Kathy Walrath
Here's the information you need to create the user interface of your applet or application.
Custom Networking and Security by Mary Campione
The lessons on this trail teach you how to connect your applications and applets to the information on the Internet! Also, this trail contains a lesson that shows you how you can create an install your own security manager which can help to protect your computer and data from violation.
Integrating Native Code and Java Programs by Beth Stearns
These lessons have been completely rewritten to reflect the new JDK1.1 APIs!
These lessons show you everything you need to know to write native methods in the Java language. A native method is a Java method whose implementation is provided in another programming language such as C. This lesson includes step-by-step instructions and a comprehensive example program.
The JavaBeans(tm) Tutorial by Greg Voss
A brand new trail introducing JavaBeans!
A great new trail that will teach you all about JavaBeans. The first lesson, Introducing JavaBeans presents JavaBeans from a conceptual point of view, and introduces you to component technology, properties, methods, events, and application builder tools.
Next, Writing a Simple Bean shows you how to build simple beans.
In addition, Testing Your Beans shows how to use the BeanBox application provided with the JavaBeans Developer Kit (BDK) to test beans you have built. The BeanBox provides important feedback that lets you determine if your beans will behave as expected in third-party builder tools and application programs.

Former Virginia running back Perry Jones is sticking around Charlottesville and has joined the Albemarle High School football staff.
"We are excited that Perry is joining our staff," coach Mike Alley said in an email Tuesday night. "He will be a great mentor and inspiration to our players."
After finishing his UVa career in 2012, Jones spent time with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in camp this summer.
Jones was a captain for the Cavaliers in both his junior and senior seasons. He finished his career ninth all-time at UVa with 3,722 all-purpose yards, and is only the fourth player in school history to reach 1,000 career rushing and receiving yards.
Albemarle begins fall football practice on Monday, Aug. 5.
