Editor's Choice, August 2008: Nikon D700
August was a slow month for camera reviews, what with the build up to Photokina absorbing much of the attention of camera manufacturers and PR companies. But there was one camera that really stood out among the devices that we've looked at since we named last month's Editor's Choice recipient: the Nikon D700. If anything says "summer vacation's over, back to business," it's Nikon's new junior-grade professional model, but in the case of this excellent new entry into the full-frame sensor space, the cost of doing business just got a little cheaper.
To me, digital cameras have always had a certain measure of disposability about them. Call me old fashioned, but I've been working with the same film system for years and have never felt much pressure to move up: in shooting film, the camera body itself plays, at most, a secondary role in final image quality. With digital, however – and especially high-end digital systems for what my colleagues in the world of computer reviews might term "power users" – there's a much sharper and more obvious technological obviation from generation to generation. I don't see many pros working with the Nikon D1 anymore, in spite of the camera's dominance in its not-so-long-ago heyday.
Now more so than ever with the latest full-frame, pro-grade DSLRs, though, it feels like we've largely finished turning a corner into semi-permanence: just as more and more folks are hanging onto their D2Xs and D200s for longer and longer, it seems that generation three of Nikon's professional digital series – of which the D700 is the latest member – may be a long-term keeper.
It's hard to imagine the D700's richly textured high-resolution images looking dated or blocky in a few years, and it's high-ISO shooting is as good as ever.
Likewise, a full-frame sensor has brought us back into FX land below the top-tier professional level after a little DX sidetrack, and the latest camera has largely upheld expectations about getting more and more technology for less and less money. Indeed, nearly halving the D3's street price, the D700 adjusts the affordability equation for a mid-tier full frame camera.
Ok. So it's hard to, in good conscience, call a camera costing several thousand dollars "affordable." But part of the D700's magic descends from the fact that it opens new ground where full-frame cameras and MSRP are concerned. While Canon's long-running 5D remains cheaper on the street, in terms of initial suggested price, the D700 is the first full-frame camera to break the $3,000 price barrier (if only just, and for the moment you'll have trouble finding one near that price…). We're betting that once prices settle a bit after the initial buying frenzy – which may take awhile, depending on how quickly Nikon delivers retail units – this camera will be very much within reach of photo enthusiasts serious about their craft. All the more so if these aforementioned photo enthusiasts happen to have FX Nikkor glass hanging around.
In fact, the D700 was so good in our testing – so close to the performance of the D3 – that unless you shoot every day or make a living doing it, it's going to be pretty tough to justify the cost difference. Whatever half a step the D700 is claimed to give up in AF speed to its more intense older sibling, it probably makes up for it with some more consumer focused touches (a pop-up flash unit for starters…) that the D3 lacks. In a market where step-down cameras using trickle-down tech often seem to be intentionally crippled, you'll be hard pressed to find traces of this with the D700.
"When the D700 was finally unveiled, the similarities between it and the D3 were many and obvious – it literally appeared as if Nikon had largely transported a D3 into a D300 body," wrote DCR reviewer Jim Keenan. "After having shot the D700 for a week and the D3 since January 2008, that's certainly the impression I've come away with." With this kind of direct and clear lineage, it's not surprising that the D700's image quality and performance measures largely speak for themselves in our opinion. (To see more of what the D700 is capable of, have a look at our complete Nikon D700 review as well as our initial gallery of shots from the D700 on Flickr.)
Finally, like most DSLRs beyond the most basic, consumer-grade products, the D700 is largely a niche market camera. It's hard to imagine family photographers, for instance, getting very excited about what this piece of kit does, especially in light of its still rather high price. That said, in the absence (at least to this point) of a new offering in this space from Canon, Nikon has for the time being jumped ahead in an important market segment that catches both hobbyists and working photographers.
Overall, if you're serious about your photos and looking for a system you can invest in for the long term, but don't want to take out a second mortgage to support your hobby, the D700 is unquestionably worth a careful look. If you can spring for its asking price, the cost-to-performance ratio offered by Nikon's latest is, in our view, currently unequaled in the upper echelons of the DSLR market.

We are discovering the 2012 election cycle dynamic every day. One thing we have learned already is that things that didn't matter last week are crucial this week. The thing we are learning this past week is that money matters, as Mitt Romney surrogates bought waves of negative airtime, Ron Paul bought Michele Bachmann's Iowa campaign chairman, and Newt suddenly began to realize what a nice thing it would be to have campaign staffs, ground crews, or even counter advertising money.
To Huntsman's dismay, we may be discovering that Iowa matters. Let me put it this way. If Newt Gingrich wins Iowa, it doesn't really matter. If Santorum wins Iowa, it will give him some false momentum but Iowa alone won't matter. If Bachmann wins Iowa, we will all drop our jaw and then move on with the real race. If Paul wins Iowa, mainstream Republicans will spend the next few days complaining about how he did his usual ballot stuffing tricks, but then move on.
However, if Mitt Romney wins Iowa, that will be huge. Iowa has typically stuck to mainstream, evangelical, more conservative than moderate candidates. Iowa has granted hope to Mike Huckabee in recent years, and Michele Bachmann this year. Now, with Mitt Romney leading in the polls, it appears that more conservative, evangelical voters are accepting that Romney will win the nomination. In fact, in this case I wonder what type of dynamic Ron Paul is attributing to Romney's rise. Are Iowans viewing Gingrich, Perry and now even Santorum as third party spoilers?
I think with the Iowa dynamic, voters may actually prefer Santorum in the current field. Instead, it appears that Iowa may end up being about who can beat Barack Obama, or more immediately, who can beat Ron Paul. At any rate, if Mitt Romney wins, Iowa matters. As McCain proved in 2008, voting for a candidate primarily because of electability is a tough paradigm to crack once it is set.
One thing is for sure. If Romney does win in Iowa, Newt is dreaming if he thinks he can turn everything around in New Hampshire.

(National Post) - Can suicide ever be a rational choice?
More than two-thirds of all suicides are driven by a mentally disordered mind, experts say. But a provocative new article published this week in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry asks can suicide ever be rational — a decision made under free will, in the absence of any diagnosable mental illness and with full appreciation for the potential consequences?
"Designating suicide as an undesirable event that should never occur raises the debate of who is responsible for one's life and runs the risk of erroneously attributing blame for suicide," University of Toronto psychiatry resident Dr. Angela Ho writes.
In cases where people are of full mind and mental capacity, "there is much debate about whether suicide can ever be rational," Ho writes.
Society's "overarching desire" is to prevent death by suicide, she said.
But the view that death is "the greatest of harms" potentially overlooks the possibility that intolerable psychological suffering may be equally harmful, she said.
No one can predict with any certainty someone will commit suicide, Ho said. Still, the responsibility for preventing suicide tends to fall on the treating doctor, she said. Patient suicides are among the most frequent malpractice claims against psychiatrists.
"Physicians are often expected to predict and prevent suicide, and then if it occurs, they may be blamed," Ho said.
But that attitude ignores the complexity of suicide, she said.
Most guidelines for managing people with suicidal thoughts are based on the premise that depression, substance abuse or other forms of mental illness drive suicide.
Little is said about the concept of rational suicide — managing cases of suicidal thinking in people without mental illness and with mental capacity, and who therefore should be able to make rational decisions, Ho writes.
"People may have difficulties coping with life," Ho said in an interview. "Maybe they don't have a lot of support or healthy ways of dealing with their emotions. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed and feel like suicide is the only answer."
"The person says they want to end their life, but their thought process isn't necessarily disordered because of depression or psychosis," Ho said.
Clearer guidance for doctors is needed on how best to approach these cases, she said.
It's an issue that raises tension between individual rights and a doctor's human instincts and ethical duty to protect life, she said.
That tension is being played out in the euthanasia debate.
Quebec's Parti Quebecois is pledging to pass its controversial bill on doctor-assisted dying if re-elected. Bill 52 would allow terminally ill patients who are capable of giving consent the right to request a doctor-hastened death to avoid "constant and unbearable" suffering.
Ho said there is growing interest whether unbearable suffering from psychological pain may be the same as suffering associated with terminal illness.
"How do we interpret that kind of distress, and is the harm from unendurable suffering any less legitimate?"
That's where the controversy lies, she said. "It's not clear whether it really is possible that people can have thoughts of suicide that are not driven by some underlying mental illness."
Some would argue that profound psychological distress is, in and of itself, mental illness, she said.
Her hope is that her paper "will open up the discussion on the topic of suicide, which is sensitive and stigmatized."
Research shows that the vast majority of people who die by suicide were struggling with some form of mental disorder at the time, says clinical psychologist Dr. Marnin Heisel, an associate professor in the department of psychiatry, epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Western Ontario in London.
Losing a loved one to suicide "changes one's life for the rest of one's life and the pain it can cause, and the damage it can cause can be irreparable," he said.
It would be irrational to hospitalize everyone "who raises the question of mortality, or what it might mean," Heisel said.
"But on the flip side, we should not say that, if somebody says, 'I want to hasten death,' and they don't suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder, we have no right to intervene.
"That's exactly when we need to intervene — not punitively and not restrictively, but out of caring, out of support and out of help."

Re: Explaining Autovivicationby ikegami (Pope)

When a scalar ($foo, $foo[$i], $foo{$k}) is undefined and it is used as a reference (@$foo, $foo->[$i], ${$foo}[$i], %$foo, $foo->{$k}, ${$foo}{$k}, $$foo), two things can happen.
One possibility is that you get a warning. This occurs when you are trying to read from the dereferenced structure. (Technically, when the reference is used as an rvalue).
The other possibility is that the reference is autovivified. That means the appropriate structure (array, hash or scalar) is constructed and a reference to it is stored in the variable. This occurs when you are trying to write to the dereferenced structure. (Technically, when the reference is used as an lvalue).
Note then creating an alias to the dereferenced structure is an lvalue, and results in autovivification.

Christmas Spices – Divine design? and a great excuse to eat cookies….
Just as we head into winter, with colder weather, darker days and increased suffering of colds, flues, seasonal depression and indigestion from heavier comfort foods; out comes all sorts of sweet dishes, spiced with divine flavors of the old ancient world, dating back almost 5,000 years, such as cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla and specifically in Sweden; saffron. All of these spices are not just divine aromatically, but have been used since 2700 B.C. across Asia, the Middle East, Egypt, Rome and Greece, for their medicinal qualities of antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, anti-depressive, anti-bacterial, anti-viral properties that can help against flues, colds, depression, infections, digestive issues and even cancer. German documents from year 1100, states this and these spices were likely brought to Sweden by the widely traveled Vikings who were instrumental in not just bringing oriental items to Scandinavia but establishing the European trade and trade routes across the continents from the 800's on.
Ground Cloves and Cinnamon rank #2 and #7 on the ORAC scale of foods highest in antioxidants: 290,283 and 131,420 respectively, compared with 9,600 and 4,600 for wild organic blueberries vs. regular blueberries based on 100gr volume.
- Cloves are also a natural pain reliever, and helps periodontal disease (you know... all that sugar).
- Cinnamon is shown to prevent diabetes by lowering blood sugar, aiding in carbohydrate metabolism, and usually accompanies all things carbohydrates and sugar. Such as Armenian gingerbread cookies brought by Germans to Sweden in the 13th century, and the Swedish invention of cinnamon rolls (Kanelbulle).
- Vanilla is used in many sweets and acts as an anti-inflammatory counteracting the effects of sugar.
- Ginger is well-known for its tonic effects on digestion, flatulence, bloating and even migraines that are often effects of consuming too much holiday food.
- Nutmeg helps digestive issues.
- Chocolate boosts mood, heart health and aids sun damage and brain health.
- Saffron aids digestion, PMS, depression, and helps prevent cancer, colds & flues.
It's truly as if, these spices were divinely designed and meant to accompany sugary foods to limit sugars inflammatory effects on us, especially during colder weather. Now that's not a greenlight to eat too much – moderation is always prudent for a healthy Christmas.
God Jul to all!
An "old" Peruvian fertily secret is now mainstream and easily available. Research shows that maca root powder increases sperm count and semen volume, and may improve both erectile and ovarian function. Dr. Ernesto Chacon, discovered the four alkaloids present in maca that are responsible for its reputed positive effects on these hormonal issues. Those who have added maca to their diet claim a significant increase in libido, enhanced sexual function and desire.
Maca has already been used for centuries in South America for fertility. In the United States and Europe men and women who have had difficulty conceiving are beginning to report pregnancies after using maca. To get the best results both partners (male/female) should be using Maca while working on conception. Women usually stop taking maca when pregnancy is discovered and resume Maca if they are breast-feeding to support milk production.
The recommendation is Red Maca for women and Black Maca or Cream Maca for men as the research indicates that these colors are the best for each respective gender in terms of boosting fertility.
Main Benefits of Maca: increased and improved energy, stamina, memory, libido, fertility, hair growth, skin tone, thyroid health, bone and tooth strength, mental focus and clarity and reduced risk of depression. Osteoperois and menopause is reduced in women and men benefit from better prostate health. I have really scoured the internet to find the very best Maca and The Maca Team defenitly has the best. Their Maca is grown traditionally and organically in the high mountains of Peru (above 14,000 feet). Theirs is always certified organic, and they just got a new fresh shipment in. I don't sell this myself but to purchase either capsules or powder, you can either click on ad on the right or this LINK.

A study from the University of Essen, Germany, found that prenatal exercise can have long term preventative effects of neurological disease in the child, by creating better nerve connections.
New findings in sleep patterns finds; not only does less sleep cause weight gain, the time of sleep matters too. Children that go early to bed and rise early are leaner than kids that stay up late and get up late, according to scientist @ University of South Australia. The difference can be attributed to acitivities, as children that go to bed late, spend more time on TV and computers and early risers are more active.
Research at Stanford University found that women who ate a healthy diet in the year before concieving gave birth to fewer babies with neural tube defects of brain or spine, and cleft lip defects. Women that consumed the most fruit and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, fish & healthy olive oils had a 24-51% less risk of having a baby with a birth defect.

Squishy Robot Simulator: Physics Settings
|Areas of Science
|Time Required
|Short (2-5 days)
|Familiarity with VoxCAD software. We recommend completing our introductory VoxCAD project first.
|Material Availability
|This project requires the free VoxCAD software and a computer running Microsoft® Windows®.
|Very Low (under $20)
|No issues
If you want a Project Idea with full instructions, please pick one without an asterisk (*) at the end of the title.
AbstractIn our introductory VoxCAD project, we provided you with a template file that included default material properties and physics simulation settings. These settings include friction, gravity, and temperature — all of which can drastically change how fast your robots move. However, we did not explain what exactly all these physics simulation settings meant, or how to change them. You can access the physics settings through the Physics Settings tab after entering the Physics Sandbox mode, as shown in Figure 1:
Screenshot of the physics sandbox in program VoxCAD shows a menu where a physics settings tab can be selected on the bottom-right of the program window. The physics sandbox can be toggled by selecting a small icon on the top toolbar that resembles two blocks next to each other. A large viewer is present on the left side of the program and multiple sidebars line the right side of the program. These sidebars include voxel information, options to change physics settings, and display or view options for the viewer.
Figure 1. Access the Physics Settings tab in Physics Sandbox mode, which you enter by clicking the Physics Sandbox button in the toolbox at the top of the screen.
We highly recommend watching this video tutorial as an introduction to the different physics settings:
For reference, we have listed the available settings here. Note that you can also hover your mouse cursor over the text describing each setting in the VoxCAD window to read a description. Note: this page was created in July 2013 using VoxCAD version 0.9.9. Future versions of VoxCAD may add or remove options, or change the exact locations of different buttons in the program. The general concept should remain the same, so this page should still serve as a good introduction to the physics settings.
These are always available toward the top of the Physics Settings tab:
- Stop condition determines whether your simulation will stop automatically, or wait for you to hit the Pause button. There are several different options for stop conditions.
- Time step changes the amount of time between each step of the simulation. A smaller time step will make the simulation slower but more accurate. In general, you want to keep the time step as small as possible.
- Ground damp ratio determines the "damping" (similar to friction) between objects and the virtual "world" surrounding them. A low ground damp ratio will enable objects to move around with relative ease, like moving through air. A high ground damp ratio will make it more difficult for objects to move, like moving through water or syrup.
- Enable self collision: This checkbox determines whether different objects will bounce off each other. If left unchecked, objects will pass through each other.
- Collision damp ratio determines the amount of energy lost in collisions. A low collision damp ratio will make the simulation more "bouncy" when objects collide with each other or the ground. You must check the enable self collision checkbox to use this control.
These settings are available under the Environment sub-tab:
- Enable temperature: This checkbox enables simulation of temperature, which will affect materials that have a non-zero coefficient of thermal expansion. When checked, you can set the model temperature in °C using the slider bar or the text box to the right.
- Vary temperature: This checkbox enables temperature oscillations, with an amplitude set by the Temp ( °C) slider (or textbox) and a period set by the Period (sec) slider (or textbox). Materials with nonzero coefficients of thermal expansion will alternately expand and contract if this option is turned on. A bigger period means slower oscillations, and a smaller period means faster oscillations.
- Enable gravity turns gravity on or off in the simulation, with a value in meters per second squared (m/s2) set by the slider bar or text box. Note that "down" requires a negative number for gravity — if the number is positive, your objects will fall "up," away from the virtual floor.
- Enable floor turns the floor in the virtual world on or off. If you disable this while gravity is on, objects will "fall" through space.
These settings are available under the Other sub-tab:
- Bulk damp ratio: This value adjusts the damping between connected voxels — a higher bulk damp ratio is like having more friction at each bond. A low bulk damp ratio will make your model more "jiggly".
- Enable velocity limit: This checkbox enables you to limit each voxel's maximum velocity.
- Maximum voxel velocity determines the maximum velocity at which voxels can travel. You must check the enable velocity limit checkbox to use this control.
Remember, this is an abbreviated project idea, so exactly what you do next is up to you. Here are a few suggestions:
- Import the robot simulations you used for the introductory VoxCAD project. What happens to your race as you change the period of the temperature oscillations? Does it change the speed of your robots? Does the race have a new winner, or does the order stay the same? Do some robots have a maximum speed that only occurs at a certain frequency? If so, look up the concept of resonance.
- Can you design a robot that completely changes the way it moves depending on the magnitude of the temperature oscillations? For example, can you design a robot that bounces with low temperature changes, but rolls with high temperature changes?
- How does changing the different damping coefficients affect the speed of your robots?

Robotics EngineerHave you watched "The Transformers" cartoon series or seen the "Transformers" movies? Both shows are about how good and evil robots fight each other and the humans who get in the middle. Many TV shows and movies show robots and humans interacting with each other. While this is, at present, fantasy, in real life robots play a helpful role. Robots do jobs that can be dangerous for humans. For example, some robots defuse landmines in war-stricken countries; others work in harsh environments like the bottom of the ocean and on the planet Mars. At the heart of every robot is a robotics engineer who thinks about what a robot needs to do and works with several engineering disciplines to design and put together the perfect piece of equipment.

You've Got to Touch Apple's Airy New iPad to Believe It
Oct 22, 2013 4:40 PM PT
In a flurry of presentations at its special media event on Tuesday, Apple introduced new iPads, MacBook Pros, the Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks -- available immediately, and free -- as well new generations of iWork and iLife app suites.
The biggest buzz comes from Apple's brand new iPad, the iPad Air, which is 20 percent thinner and 28 percent lighter than the fourth-generation iPad that it replaces. Apple's senior vice president of design, Jony Ive, noted that Apple has been working on the iPad Air for years -- and has been waiting for engineering advances in some areas in order to deliver such a slim device.
How Slim?
The iPad Air is 7.5 mm, compared with the previous 9.4 mm. It weighs just 1 lb. compared with the previous 1.4 lb. fourth-generation iPad. The presentation of the iPad Air on stage at Apple's event seemed a little flat, however. It almost seemed as if Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for Apple, felt challenged to express just how cool the new iPad Air actually is -- how the feat of engineering and design come together to create a better tablet experience.
"When you hold it, it will be a dramatically different experience," he said, and then again a bit later, "When you first hold it, you'll understand why we're so excited about this new iPad."
Of course, Apple's Retail Stores will let potential customers hold the iPad Air for themselves -- starting Nov. 1. The new Retina iPad mini will ship later in November.
Both new iPads boast the latest Apple-designed A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, as well as faster built-in WiFi and expanded LTE cellular connectivity. The iPad Air starts at US$499 for 16 GB and WiFi and ramps up to $929 for the 128-GB model with cellular service capability. The new Retina iPad mini starts at $399 for a 16-GB model with WiFi and rises to $829 for a 128-GB model with cellular service capability.
It's worth noting that Apple has now sold more than 170 million iPads, which account for 81 percent of all tablets used in the world.
Free Mavericks for Everyone
While Apple also announced updated MacBook Pros and re-introduced the Mac Pro, the more important news is that the next generation of OS X became available for Apple customers to download starting Tuesday, and get this -- it's now free. Clearly Apple is looking to get its customer base quickly moving forward into the latest generation of OS X, and this move should provide a startling new rate of early upgrade adoption.
Apple packed more than 200 new features into OS X Mavericks, including the long-awaited desktop app version of iBooks and Maps. There's a new version of Apple's Safari browser, better multi-display support, and a new feature called "Finder Tabs" that helps users unclutter their desktops by letting them combine multiple Finder windows into a single window with tabs. Plus, you can now tag your files to help you organize and find them across your Mac and in iCloud.
New iWork and iLife Apps
Apple updated half a dozen of its core apps from its iWork productivity suite and iLife creativity apps. Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand have all been completely redesigned to take advantage of OS Mavericks, as well as iOS 7. All the apps have been updated to 64-bit and are integrated with iCloud.
While Apple showed off just a handful of features, the real new benefit to users is that all these apps now will deliver seamless experiences across all iOS devices and Macs via a new unified file format.
An even better feature is iWork for iCloud beta, which lets you work with iWork apps online via a browser -- and now with real-time collaboration with friend or peer. Other online services have had this feature already -- like Google Docs -- and this is a welcome addition to iWork for iCloud that Apple seemed proud to show off.
Faster MacBook Pros at Smaller Prices
Apple also refreshed its Retina-based 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros with fourth-generation Intel Core processors, new graphics, longer battery life, faster flash storage and next generation WiFi. This generally represents an incremental advancement in these MacBooks except for a few interesting items.
Apple says the new integrated Intel Iris graphics deliver up to 90 percent faster performance than the previous generation MacBook Pro with Retina display. Plus, OS X Mavericks can give the integrated graphics chips additional memory resources to run games or intense graphics processing. Basically, for most everyone but true professionals, integrated graphics are more than enough. Of course, customers of the 15-incher can get GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics with 2 GB of video memory.
The 13-inch Retina model starts at a new lower price -- $1,299 (that's $200 less than previous generations) -- and the 15-inch Retina model now starts at $1,999. The new MacBook Pros are available today.
Apple took the time to show off its upcoming black, round sexy tube of Mac Pro again, giving the world a look at the manufacturing process -- made in the USA -- as well as offering up some early adopter comments from moviemakers and musicians who appreciate its speed and quiet.
Incidentally, the Mac Pro is as quiet as a Mac mini -- no loud fans. The Pro starts at $2,999, but it won't ship until December.

Probiotics help to increase the "friendly" or "good" bacteria in your digestive system. In fact they promote intestinal health, create a favorable digestive environment for nutrient absorption and aid in the support of the immune system.* The more good bacteria you have in your system the better — increased levels of good bacteria help to create a favorable digestive environment.
In your body good and bad bacteria compete for the same nutrients throughout the intestine, we want to have more of the good and less of the bad. Probiotics help to maintain a healthy bacterial balance essential for healthy digestion, immune wellness and optimum intestinal function.*
In addition to intestinal well-being, probiotics also help to promote healthy immune function.* The "gut" plays an important and complex part in our overall immune health. Recent research suggests a significant percentage of the body's immune system is actually located in the digestive tract. This part of the immune system is able to recognize and reject microorganisms that may challenge the body's defense system. Probiotics can help to support the intestines, which aid in the protection against harmful agents.*
Not all bacteria are bad, but with the introduction of "antibacterial products," we have been on a mission to rid our environment from disease and all bacteria. In combination with food safety regulations, increased additives in our foods and heat processes used to extend shelf life, neither the bad nor good bacteria are surviving the manufacturing process. Add to that an over reliance on antibiotics and it's no wonder our good bacteria are being depleted. To restore a level of digestive wellness, probiotics help to put the good bacteria back into our systems.*
Long recognized as a leading manufacturer of the highest quality probioitc supplements, American Health continues to offer a full line probiotic products in a variety of flavors, delivery forms and potencies.

European nations are making their first attempt to standardize physician training and certification, which, surprisingly still varies from nation to nation. This first effort is being accomplished with the recent launch of an educational website commissioned by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and created by the Frederick, MD-based firm, Enforme Interactive. The dynamic ESC website will provide standardized education and certification to its 75,000 members located in 52 (mostly) European countries. The educational website content calls upon best practices and will result in a higher quality of care for cardiac patients across the continent. Again, this is the first such attempt to address the challenges of varying medical education and practices which still exist among international nations.
A recently launched European website is the first in the world to address the challenges of internationally harmonized medical education and certification. The dynamic new online education platform commissioned by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and developed by Enforme Interactive, will provide consistent, standardized education and testing to its 75,000 members across 52 countries. European medical leaders are convinced that standardized medical training will result in a higher quality of care for cardiac patients across the continent.
ESC, the non-profit association founded in 1950, based in Sophia-Antipolis, France, is dedicated to reducing cardiovascular disease through physician education. "European health care leaders have grappled for years with the variance in medical training and certification among cardiologists that occurs from nation to nation," said Eric Delente, co-owner of Enforme Interactive, one of the largest providers of web technologies for medical and scientific associations in the U.S. "Our assignment was to develop a learning platform that would respond to the complex and multi-faceted educational and certification needs of ESC's international membership – yet designed in a manner that would be highly user friendly."
Delente and his team responded with the development of the ESC eLearning Platform, (ESCeL) which debuted at ESC's annual congress in August, attended by approximately 28,000 health care professionals. The dynamic education portal provides for the training and certification needs across six cardiology subspecialties: acute cardiac care, echocardiography, heart failure, heart rhythm, percutaneous interventions, and prevention and rehabilitation.
ESCeL will provide cardiologists with the online coursework, study materials, and examinations required for international certification across Europe. The site will also allow physicians to demonstrate their practical clinical experiences and professional skills through online case logbooks and patient safety journals, another requirement for certification. These and other logged clinical experiences will then be reviewed and approved at the local, national and European levels using a sophisticated workflow approval management engine, developed by Enforme. The certification requirement is further enhanced with a journal of publications, research and teaching experience submitted by the ESC physician members that following certification can be shared with prospective employers as a standardized CV.
Delente said that two of the six cardio subspecialty groups are currently using the site with one or more groups expected to join in by year end. "There is a massive effort underway to add more content to the site. Currently, all the educational content is offered in English, but it will soon support the big five European languages and potentially, later, some languages in Asia and the Middle East."
Despite Enforme's long track record of creating highly sophisticated website portals for medical associations that can deliver highly structured education, be tracked, audited and provide a state-of-the-art user experience, Delente said the ESCel site was extremely challenging. "Because of the internationality and diversity of ESC's extensive membership which include numerous cardiac associations, the site required many special provisions. However we felt confident we nailed the site this summer based on the response we received from the hundreds of medical trainees, trainers and professionals we demonstrated it to at the ESC conference."
While the ESCel site is still new, Delente believes it has already established a precedent for the importance and need for greater uniformity of medical training among international nations. "It is an issue that medical associations must be debating based on the number of inquiries we've received since the portal was launched."
Enforme Interactive is located at 228 N. Market Street in downtown Frederick, MD.

Snapshots from the Gohan Society's Aki Matsuri Festival
Yesterday evening, The Gohan Society, a non-profit organization that works towards foster appreciation for Japan's culinary heritage through cooperation with chefs, held their third annual Aki Matsuri. The event was a celebration of Japanese cuisine and how it's taken shape in New York as well as an embrace of the fall season.
Yesterday's event was centered on the theme of izakaya, that is, Japanese pub fare. Over a dozen different restaurants presented small bites, with their own spin on the theme. Ramen Burger of recent Smorgasburg fame seemed to gather the most attendees, although people crowded around Blue Ribbon Sushi booth and its classic, simple maki rolls. Nobu presented an almost interactive experience with a shabu-shabu, and Yuji Ramen's uni mazemen presented an incredible balance of sweet urchin roe with the salinity of the white miso.
Other booths also presented tasting flights of sake, shochu, Japanese whisky, and cocktails. The event's venue, the Brooklyn Brewery, also provided beers on tap from their rotating seasonal menu.
The night ended with a noodle-making demonstration by Sobaya to the beat of Japanese drums. Raffles were held for meals in various restaurants throughout New York, and a portion of the evening's proceeds are to be donated to Japan Relief, with all other proceeds going towards future educational programs.

The Saturday death of a 55-year-old man who was shot in July, 2011 on the South Side has been ruled a homicide, authorities said.
Reginald Thomas was sitting in a car with a 57-year-old woman about 12:30 a.m. July 11, 2011 in the 7200 block of South Dobson Avenue in the Grand Crossing neighborhood when another car pulled up and someone inside fired shots at them – hitting both in the head, according to Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Michael Sullivan.
Police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala said the shooting occurred in 2011.
The shooter's car fled and Thomas was initially taken in critical condition to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County while the woman's condition had stabilized that day, according to Sullivan.
Thomas was pronounced dead at 1:04 p.m. Saturday at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Latest Breaking News
An autopsy performed Sunday for Thomas, of the 7700 block of West Grand Avenue in west suburban Elmwood Park, a nursing home where he'd been since the shooting, determined he died of complications from a gunshot wound and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner's office.
A motive for the attack was unclear and Sullivan said no arrests have been made in the slaying.

Mission patches
Luca Parmitano will have four patches for his mission. First, his mission name is Volare, submitted by Norberto Cioffi to a competition in Italy. Meaning 'to fly' in Italian, it symbolises the search for new frontiers and opportunities for discovery.
The winning logo was designed by Ilaria Sardella from San Giorgio Ionico in Southern Italy. It was chosen because it contains many elements of Luca's mission: the Soyuz spacecraft that will fly him to the orbital outpost, the Station itself and the colours of the Italian flag.
The orbits represent our desire to travel beyond Earth and the Sun, as well as our thirst for knowledge. Both competition winners will travel to Star City to follow Luca's training at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre near Moscow, Russia.
Expedition patches
Luca's name also features on the patches that belong to Expeditions 36 and 37.
The Expedition 36 patch was designed by Blake Dumesnil and the Expedition 36 crew. It portrays the iconic solar wings of the Space Station, with the slanted angles representing infinite scientific research, education and long-duration spaceflight capabilities the outpost provides. The numbers 3 and 6 intertwine to form a 36, its grey colour signifying the unity and neutrality of the Station's international partners.
The numbers surround stylised impressions of Mars and the Moon – goals for exploration beyond Earth orbit. The central gold orbit wraps around the number 36 to form a trident at its lower right tip and, together with the globe, symbolises Earth in the form of the sea, air and land. The world below contains the three national flags of the crew, Italy, USA and Russia.
When Luca and his crewmates move into Expedition 37, they will wear a patch designed by Jorge Cartes from Spain and Luc van den Abeelen from the Netherlands. It features Leonardo da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man', created over 500 years ago.
Vitruvian Man is often seen as a symbol of symmetry of the human body and the Universe as a whole. The International Space Station flies above the man with its solar wings spread out also in almost perfect symmetry, representing the ultimate symbol of science and technology of our age.
Six stars dotted around represent the six members of Expedition 37, with their names and national flags along the edge.
Soyuz patch
Luca will also wear a patch for his Soyuz spacecraft, TMA-09M. This patch shares design elements from Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin's previous two Soyuz missions, TMA-10 and TMA-19. A bright blue rim features the crew names and frames Earth and a spacecraft in yellow and orange. The white and light blue streaks underneath the Soyuz symbolise that this is Fyodor's fourth mission to space, his first being on NASA's Space Shuttle for STS-112.
This design shares an element with another patch – the stylised Space Station is the same as the one in the Expedition 37 patch. The Soyuz patch was designed by Luc van den Abeelen, Dmitri Shcherbinin and Fyodor.

It's never wrong to send a written thank you, and people always appreciate getting "thanks" in writing.
Why? Handwritten notes are warmer and more special than other forms of thank yous. The rule of thumb is that you should send a written note any time you receive a gift (even a 'thank you' gift) and the giver wasn't there to be thanked in person. But notes are not always necessary. If, for example, the gift is from a close friend or relative (and it's not a wedding gift) you can email or call instead if you prefer. Below are some other note-writing guidelines:
Shower gifts
Even though the gift giver attended the shower in your honor and you had a chance to say thanks for her gift, you should still send a written note.
Wedding gifts
Each wedding gift should be acknowledged with a written note within three months of receipt of the gift. It's best to write the notes as soon as possible after gifts arrive, however. Write a note even if you have thanked the giver in person.
Congratulatory gifts or cards
Anyone who sends a present, or a card with a personally written message, should receive a note in return.
Gifts received during an illness
Thank-you notes should be written as soon as the patient feels well enough—or a friend or relative can write the notes to acknowledge the gifts. It's also okay to call or email close friends rather than write. The important point is to be sure the gift is acknowledged in a timely fashion, not to create a burden for the person who is ill or recovering.
Condolence notes or gifts
Everyone who has sent a personal note, flowers, or a donation should get a written thank-you. A close friend or relative can write the notes on the recipient's behalf.

Toby Keith Honored With 2012 AARP Inspire Award
Each year for 10 years now, 'AARP the Magazine' has presented Inspire Awards to pay tribute to those forward thinkers and innovators who move others to action through their deep passion. This year, Toby Keith is among the 10 individuals receiving the prestigious award, and he's joined by such legends as conservationist Jane Goodall and Steve Jobs.
Described as "The Supporter of U.S. Troops," Keith is being honored for his work with the U.S. troops in the Middle East. Since his first USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour in the Middle East in 2002, he has returned eight times. Though his first trip was a tribute to his late army veteran father, his subsequent trips have been out of his individual desire to support the troops.
The country star has also been awarded the Distinguished Service Award from the Military Officers Association of America. On a trip to Afghanistan in 2007, Keith witnessed troops living without true homes, so as a response he began to sponsor the USO2GO program, a program that distributes care packages to the more remote U.S. bases in other countries.
You can read more about Keith's award in a profile published in 'AARP the Magazine,' which will be available Nov. 25. The other honorees not yet mentioned here include Andy Czerkas, Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, Pat Summitt, Irene Zola, Hilton Kelley, Emilio Estefan Jr., Ret. Army Col. Bill Badger, Patricia Maisch and Roger Salzgeber.

"Jingle Bells" Was Originally Written for Thanksgiving
As your family gathers around the piano tomorrow to sing all of your favorite Thanksgiving songs (you know, like Adam Sandler's "The Thanksgiving Song" and… "The Thanksgiving Song" remix…) don't forget the most famous Thanksgiving song of all: "Jingle Bells."
Back in 1850 or 1851, James Lord Pierpont was perhaps enjoying a little holiday cheer at the Simpson Tavern in Medford, Massachusetts, when Medford's famous sleigh races to neighboring Malden Square inspired him to write a tune. The story goes that Pierpont picked out the song on the piano belonging to the owner of the boarding house attached to the tavern because he wanted something to play for Thanksgiving at his Sunday school class in Boston. The resulting song wasn't just a hit with the kids; adults loved it so much that the lyrics to "One Horse Open Sleigh" were altered slightly and used for Christmas. The song was published in 1857, when Pierpont was working at a Unitarian Church in Savannah, Georgia.
Image credit: Deirdre
Another bit of trivia for you: Mr. Pierpont was the uncle of banker John Pierpont Morgan, better known as J.P. Morgan. Despite this, and despite the fact that his famous holiday composition should have made him a millionaire, Pierpont struggled to make ends meet. His son even renewed the copyright on "Jingle Bells" in 1880, 13 years before his father's death, but it was never enforced enough to produce any real income.
And I was just kidding about "The Thanksgiving Song," of course. Though lyrics about turkey and Pilgrims aren't as abundant as tunes for certain other holidays, they're out there. Here are a couple:
"Over the River and Through the Woods"
They might as well crown Medford, Massachusetts the Thanksgiving capital of the United States, because the song "Over the River and Through the Woods" was born there too. Lydia Maria Child wrote the poem "A Boy's Thanksgiving Day" about a trip to her grandfather's house, which, yes, really does sit near the Mystic River in Medford, Massachusetts. It's still there today, owned by Tufts University and used as a home for Tufts dignitaries (needless to say, Grandfather had a pretty nice house). The poem was later set to music and became the classic we know today.
"Alice's Restaurant Massacre"
It doesn't have much to do with Thanksgiving, except that the real-life events that inspired the song took place on Thanksgiving. After dumping some litter illegally on Turkey Day in 1967, Arlo Guthrie was arrested. When he later went to the induction center to find out about his draft status, Guthrie realized that he had been declared ineligible for the draft due to his lack of moral conduct. The song, which is 18+ minutes long, became a huge hit amongst war and draft protesters.
Just for good measure:

Some of the chefs as well as two bakers and a cheesemonger taught classes to Palestinian professionals and catering school students, where they learned, among other things, how to make bread and baguette.

CMI On TV – True Heroism on Hawaii Five-O
Network television can be silly, stupid, entertaining, and even inspiring, but only rarely does it portray true heroism.
As the latest episode of Hawaii Five-O opens, a drill sergeant (Terry O'Quinn) berates young Navy SEAL candidate Freddie Hart (Alan Ritchson), saying "you are two steps below plant life, boy!" Undaunted, the young man recites the philosophy of the Navy SEALs, "If knocked down, I will get back up every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission."
When Freddie goes to ring the bell, giving up SEALs training, his friend Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) stops him. Steve tells Freddie that his dad said "the proudest moment of his life is when you joined up for SEALs … I'm saving you from yourself."
"After that night," Steve remembers, "he became the best student, the toughest soldier, the guy that everybody could depend on."
Before their mission to North Korea, Freddie told Steve he had finally married Kelly, his high-school sweetheart, and she was pregnant with their daughter.
After a bloody and entertaining shoot-out, Freddie shows Steve his wound, knowing it's mortal. "I'm not going anywhere," he says. "Don't let this be for nothing. Freddie only asks for one thing. "One day, tell my daughter, you tell my girl that Daddy loved her. Promise me."
Later on, Steve remembers, "if he hadn't covered me, I never would have made it out of there." Freddie's sacrifice inspires Steve to go into North Korea, under the radar, with no backup, to bring home the dead man's body.

JC Penney ensnared in hedge fund games?February 5, 2013: 12:33 PM ET
JC Penney's latest tangle has many folks speculating about whether there's another hedge fund battle brewing.
The retailer said it received a Notice of Default from law firm Brown Rudnick, which claims to represent an "ad hoc" group who hold more than 50% of JC Penney's bonds due in 2037.
JC Penney says the notice is "utterly without merit" but it's raised speculation as to who is behind this so-called ad hoc group of bondholders. And wouldn't you know it but billionaire activist Carl Icahn's name has been bandied about.
Why Icahn? Well, for one, it's no secret he despises Bill Ackman.
Ackman is a big fan of JC Penney and the retailer's still relatively new CEO, Ron Johnson. You may recall that it was just a couple of weeks ago that Icahn and Ackman took to CNBC in a very public spat over Herbalife (HLF) and other calls.
For now, investors seem willing to give JC Penney the benefit of the doubt. After all, talk is just that ... talk. Oh and it helps that JC Penney says it never borrowed any money from that $1.5 billion credit facility.
After being down quite sharply ahead of the bell, shares of JC Penney (JCP) are up nearly 4%.
StockTwits traders love a roller coaster ride.. but JCP? not so much.
JCP turnaround story getting murkier. Down 3%. Did it default on bond or not? Is Icahn involved in this too? Does he hate Ackman that much?
So many questions, so little time. The stock has since bounced back but the crux of the matter is really that pesky turnaround. Ok, maybe pesky is a bit harsh. And I've previously noted that these things take time, which they do.
The challenge for Ron Johnson will be if the hedgies (i.e. Ackman and Icahn) really do get into a knock down, drag out fight over who's right about JC Penney's prospects.
BrianSozzi@LaMonicaBuzz: I think market realizing they better get positioned for reality: holiday quarter could be very bad $JCP
All retailers have most likely had pretty dismal holiday quarters. In the case of JC Penney, it's been more pronounced as Johnson tries to overhaul how consumers view JC Penney.
In a recent note, Gilford Securities analyst Bearnard Sosnick noted that much of the sales activity in recent months was at the sales racks, which is good for the bargain hunters but could also be a sign of how tough it is to get consumers to pay full price.
$JCP January store checks are "discouraging" & indicate heavy clearance levels and greater than expected comp deterioration - Morgan Stanley
That's not the rosiest outlook but Morgan Stanley also puts forth the possibility that JC Penney's turnaround strategy could kick into high gear and pull sales out of the dumps sooner than expected. Of course, the bear case would have the retailer losing market share and being forced to sharply mark down merchandise to get it moving.
$JCP sales ticking up is like throwing a deck chair off the titanic to lower the weight of the ship
The key point here is acknowledging the difficulty in turning around a retailer in this economy. I don't pretend to be able to read Ackman's brain or actions but if he's in it for the long haul, then maybe he has a point.
Like most things, good things come to those who wait. That's also kind of the basic premise of investing. Most financial advisers will say plan for the long term -- meaning longer than one or two years. And just like there are plenty of naysayers, there are those that say give Ron Johnson a chance. Rome wasn't built in a day.
Which bondholder is trying to force Ackman's science fair volcano $JCP into involuntary bankruptcy? http://stks.co/bK0E via @zerohedge
And that's the $64 billion question.

How to Avoid Being a Bad Roommate
By Carla Hindman, Director of Financial Education, Visa Canada
For many people, having roommates is a natural transition between leaving their parents' house and buying their own home. It can be a great way to trim expenses and save for the future. But if you're not careful, cohabitating can also devolve into constant bickering over finances and dirty dishes.
Roommate tensions are not limited to strangers. When cash-strapped young adults return to the nest, or older parents move in with grown kids for financial or caregiver assistance, long-suppressed family grievances can erupt if you're not careful.
The key to living amicably with others is open communication. All parties must feel free to ask candid questions about their roommate's financial situation and living preferences. Schedule regular meetings to discuss household issues and air any complaints or perceived inequities before they magnify and sour the relationship.
Try to agree on living arrangement details before moving in together. If you're moving into an established household, make sure you understand and agree with how financial obligations and tasks will be divided. A few considerations:
- Whoever signs the lease is responsible for paying rent and meeting other legal obligations, so you may want to have all roommates sign the lease if possible.
- You may need the landlord's permission for a new roommate to move in. The landlord may want to run a credit check and may even ask that a new lease be signed.
- If one bedroom is more spacious or has a private bath, a 50/50 split may not seem fair. The same goes if assigned parking or other amenities aren't equitable. Calculate rent amounts together so no one feels slighted later on.
- Find out which utilities are paid by the landlord and which you'll split. Consider usage levels: Say one roommate works from home and runs the heat all day, or another never watches TV or uses the Internet.
- Some people are territorial about their food, especially when budgets are tight. Decide whether you'll go in together on groceries, cleaning supplies and other household items or each buy your own, and set rules for replacing used items.
- Many landlords (and utilities) will only accept a single cheque, so it's up to everyone to settle up and pay each monthly bill on time. Spread the risk by putting each utility in a different person's name.
- Each roommate should carry their own renters insurance; otherwise your possessions and liability aren't covered in case of theft or accident.
- If your place needs common area furniture or appliances, it may be simpler to buy pieces individually – and keep the receipts – so when you move there's no question of ownership.
- Inevitably, your possessions will get mixed in together. To make it easier when your household eventually disbands, make an inventory of who owns what.
You may want to draft a roommate agreement that establishes household rules and duties. In addition to the billing and cost-sharing information outlined above, also include details such as:
- Rules for recovering your share of the security deposit.
- Rules governing pets, houseguests, parties, noise, smoking, alcohol and other potential disagreements.
- Housecleaning schedule and responsibilities.
- Agreement about how to handle damages caused by roommates or their guests.
- Move-out procedures, including how much notice is required and who is responsible for finding the new tenant.

BOSTON — Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi barely scratched the surface of his long criminal relationship with James "Whitey" Bulger as he began what is expected to be hours of testimony against Bulger at his racketeering trial.
During his brief, 15 minutes of testimony Thursday, Flemmi said both he and Bulger were partners in the Winter Hill Gang, a violent Irish mob. He also said he and Bulger were longtime FBI informants who squealed on the rival Mafia as well as assorted criminals in South Boston.
But court recessed for the day before prosecutors had a chance to ask Flemmi about Bulger's role in numerous killings Bulger is accused of orchestrating or committing.
Flemmi is due back on the witness stand Friday.
As court ended Thursday, the 79-year-old Flemmi, with his hands on his hips, glared at Bulger as he waited to be taken away by federal marshals. The two men then snarled what sounded like obscenities at each other.
It was their first meeting in nearly two decades.
Flemmi said he hasn't seen Bulger since about a week before Christmas in 1994. That was when they got tipped off by John Connolly, their former FBI handler, that they were about to be indicted.
Bulger fled Boston and was one of the nation's most-wanted fugitives for more than 16 years until he was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011.
Flemmi was arrested and has been in prison ever since.
Flemmi said he was with Bulger and heard him give information to Connolly "hundreds of times" over 15 years.
"Who did most of the talking at these meetings?" prosecutor Fred Wyshak asked.
"James Bulger," Flemmi replied.
That comment seemed to rankle Bulger, who insists that he was never an informant and told people that being a "rat" was the worst thing anyone could do, according to testimony.
Prosecutors said Bulger and Flemmi ran the Winter Hill Gang for more than 20 years, making millions by extorting drug dealers, bookmakers and loan sharks.
Bulger is accused of participating in 19 killings during the 1970s and '80s. Flemmi pleaded guilty to 10 killings, extortion, drug distribution and other charges. He is serving a life sentence.
Before Flemmi took the stand Thursday, word spread through the courtroom that a former Boston liquor store owner who had hoped to testify against Bulger and openly despised him had been found dead. Authorities said a jogger discovered the body of 59-year-old Stephen "Stippo" Rakes in the woods along a street Wednesday in Lincoln, Mass.
Prosecutors said an autopsy Thursday found no signs of trauma. Investigators trying to establish the cause of death were awaiting toxicology results.
Bulger is accused of forcing Rakes and his former wife to sell their store in 1984 to use as a headquarters for his gang and as a source of legitimate income.
Kevin Weeks, Bulger's former protege, gave a differing account when he testified last week. Weeks said Rakes wanted to sell the store, agreed to a price and then tried to increase that price.
Friends said Rakes was eager to testify against Bulger.
"The day I see him in a box, not breathing, will be better," Rakes told The Associated Press in April.
But it appeared earlier this week that prosecutors had decided not to call Rakes as a witness after all. When they listed their remaining witnesses for the judge, Rakes was not among them.

Da Bologna Pizzeria's Mercedes is a Montreal Pizza Pacesetter
Da Bologna Pizzeria
5185 Rue de Charleroi, Montreal-Nord, Québec (map); 514-321-8361
Pizza Style: Thin-to-medium thick crust pie, more Italian than old-school Montreal style.
The Skinny: Don't miss the "Mercedes Arrabbiata," a fiery, bright pie topped with spicy shards of capicola and hot peppers marinated in olive oil.
Price: $14.50 (14-inch cheese), $21.95 (house special)
Notes: Parc Charleroi across the street is the perfect venue for an impromptu picnic.
Montreal-Nord is a hotbed for some of the city's finest Italian pizzerias, and Restaurant Da Bologna, which has been a staple of the neighborhood since it opened in 1958, might be the region's crown jewel. It has a casse-croûte style menu (that would be "snack-style", and includes subs, pasta, poutine and other snack bar staples), but the focus is all about the pizza.
Amidst a lengthy menu of traditional Montreal-style pies (like the ubiquitous toute garnie, or all dressed) there are several options that stand out. The Mercedes Arrabbiata is a blazing, exhilarating mix of capicola, pepperoni, and hot peppers marinated in olive oil (16-inch, $22.75). Between the tender shards of capicola, the salty chew of pepperoni, and those provocative, garlicky slips of chili, this is one of the most spirited pies I've ever had in this city.
The toppings are showstoppers, but the basics have a sturdy confidence to them, too, like the sweet, bright tang of lightly-cooked tomato sauce, applied so thinly, it looks as though it's painted on with a brush. One bite and the shredded mozzarella yields into soft, sweet ropes. But it's the dough, with its sturdy, dappled underbelly and pliant crust, that makes my heart sing. Mercedes, indeed—this is a luxury pie.
The Bologna Special ($26.26 for a 16" pie), with its heap of sautéed mushrooms that tumble into the center of the pie appears even more striking. Instead of the typical button mushroom slivers, these quartered mushrooms are bouncy and robust, and provide an earthy counterpart to the other ingredients, which include sliced ham, peppers, pepperoni, and bacon.
Da Bologna's pies have a creative, abundant style that feels unusual compared to the more traditional Italian restaurants in the area. They look and taste joyous. The pizza dough is so popular that Da Bologna uses it to make a selection of subs, which are an excellent alternative (if you don't mind the confetti of warm Romaine tucked inside). Montreal-Nord continues to reveal itself as one of the city's most dynamic pizza regions, with Da Bologna's trademark dough—a yeasty wonder that's both light and substantial—confidently at the head of the pack.
