Windows 7 Pro 32bit
Win7 Pro Wireless networks 'unidentified'
Hello all.
My problem is that I work in a school and we have bought 22x Samsung N145 Plus Netbooks. They use Atheros AR9285 wireless cards and I'm having problems connecting them successfully under Windows 7 to my D-Link access point. The fact is that the security has been set to WPA, using AES. The laptops are the same and are connecting, but 9 times out of 10 they pick up an autoconfiguration IP of 169.x.x.x.
I sometimes get one working, but never have more than one connect at the same time. I need it to just pick up my 'chads.internal' domain network but it rarely does it successfully.
I've tried adding the settings manually, I've tried 3 different network card drivers for WLAN (latest out from the Atheros homepage, second latest as requested to be tried by Samsung tech support, and a version 8.x.x.x driver after reading that 9.x.x.x drivers are 'flaky'), 2 different wireless access points, and the next step that I'm trying is to see if Windows XP will connect!!! I really don't want to have to go down that route!
I've tried rebuilding the TCP/IP stacks and all sorts but I need to come up with a blank every time. Just when I seem to have figured it, it stops working again. I've even tried using static IP addresses but it doesnt even recognise the domain then, it just says 'unidentified network' and gives me a picture of a park bench, which is ironic really as after 8 days of trying to get this working, I feel like getting a bottle of vodka in a brown paper back and drinking myself stupid on a park bench somewhere!
As you can probably tell, all ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Some very basic ideas, which you probably tried already. Have you sorted out the b/g/n thing between cards and access point? Tried the netbooks on another LAN, say, at home? Or tried a different wireless card in one of the netbooks?

Leo Burnett, BBH and MEC to feature in Sunday Times' 'Top 100 'Best Companies'
Leo Burnett, Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH), MEC and Engine have all made it into this year's Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies To Work For list, due to be published on Sunday (6 March).
Sunday Times: agencies make this years's list
The 2011 Sunday Times list had 1,165 companies applying to achieve a "star status", with just 498 of these companies achieving the feat, split between small, medium and large organisations.
Based on staff feedback, organisations receive a Best Companies index score, which then determines the star rating compared to a fixed standard. MEC was one of the 498 companies and has been awarded a 1-Star Status Accreditation, which corresponds to a first class rating.
Leo Burnett, the only ad agency on last year's list, is the industry's best performer this year, jumping 20 places from 61 to 39.
Sarah Baumann, client service director and head of talent strategy at Leo Burnett, said: "People are our most important asset and we work hard to make sure we create an environment they want to work in and feel they can grow in.
"Coming in at 39 in this year's Best 100 Companies and being the highest ranking agency is a really good endorsement of our approach. We're especially happy that there is such strong commitment and belief in the agency's future."
Starcom MediaVest Group (SMG), the only media agency to make the list last year, has fallen out of this year's rankings. It has been replaced by WPP media agency newcomer MEC, which ranks 68th.
Clare Alger, people & culture director at MEC, said: "We've seen unprecedented success through engaged, inspirational talent, who are passionate about working at MEC and growing our business to the next level.
"It's an honour to be ranked as one of the top 100 companies in the UK to work for, and we're thrilled that within this, we've been considered the best media agency."
BBH is among the best companies to work for in the country for the first time in two years, ranked 69th. In 2009, BBH ranked 85th, while in 2008 it was placed 77th.
Engine, which owns WCRS & Co, Partners Andrews Aldridge and Jam, enters the list for the first time in 88th place.
This year's Sunday Times list is topped by commercial radio broadcaster UKRD Group.
Elsewhere, marketing data company Dunnhumby has just made it into the list at 100th, falling from 57th the year before. Experian QAS has fallen out of this year's list after charting at 59 last year, and WPP's market research agency Kantar is in at 99.
In 2009, other agencies in the Sunday Times Top 100 included Iris at 10th, AMV, 57th, BBH at 85th and DDB at 86th. Media agency MediaCom was placed 53rd.

Creating Basic Macros in OpenOffice
The OpenOffice productivity suite can use a variety of scripts and macros to automate recurring tasks. The easiest approach is to use the integrated Basic dialect. This article helps you get started with this surprisingly sophisticated programming language.
If you find yourself repeating complex, multi-step tasks in OpenOffice [1], it may be time to create a macro. OpenOffice supports a variety of programming options. Version 1.1 introduced the concept of bridges, which allow users to add their own C, C++, Java, or Python programs. In version 2.0, which is due for release any time now, the basic OpenOffice package will also support the Common Language Interface (CLI), which allows users to add their own Javascript and C# programs. Of all the languages used with OpenOffice, Basic is perhaps the easiest option. This article describes how to get started with creating macros in Basic. Getting Started Basic programming starts in the Tools | Macros menu, which has two entries: Record macro, a macro recorder for interactive use, and Macro..., which opens a new window (Figure 1).

CHA and the Catholic health ministry have been working for decades on behalf of health reform that protects life and expands coverage to the greatest possible number of people in our country. In 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. While not perfect, it represents a good start toward providing access to everyone.
CHA continues to be actively engaged in health reform implementation as regulations are drafted to put the law into effect, and with efforts to enroll those newly eligible for health insurance. As this process unfolds, additional resources will be made available to help CHA members and others understand the Affordable Care Act and its implications.
As the Affordable Care Act continues to be implemented and millions of uninsured people obtain affordable health insurance coverage, CHA has prepared a report summarizing the successful open enrollment period that concluded earlier this year. The report provides statistics and findings on enrollment and outreach, as well as a brief questionnaire to help health systems and hospitals identify gaps that still need to be filled and challenges yet to address. With the next open enrollment period set to begin in November, CHA's report may be helpful in planning grassroots and partnership activities that can further boost enrollment numbers.

TTP Infighting Continues; Indian Politician's Rape Remark Stirs Controversy; Afghan Candidates Ready for Run-off
Bonus Reads: "The Odyssey of Jim Gant: An Insurgent within the U.S. Military," Daniel R. Green (SouthAsia) and "How India's Politicians are Talking Louder but Saying Less," by Deep Pal (SouthAsia).
Feuding militants
At least 13 militants were killed in a bombing and gunfight in north Waziristan on Friday in the latest clash in almost a week of infighting between Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) factions (ET, Dawn, AJE). The dispute between supporters of commander Khan Syed Sajna and followers of the late Hakimullah Mehsud began last November after Sajna was rejected for the TTP leadership position. The recent violence between the two factions that erupted on April 6 and has killed a total of 56 militants; it is thought to be over interference in matters inside one another's domains. The TTP has remained silent on the issue of infighting between the two groups and focused all of its attention on the ongoing negotiations with the Pakistani government, which began in February.
Most recently, the group has demanded the release of "non-combatant" prisoners and the establishment of a "peace zone" where security forces would be barred, but peace talks are still ongoing. The ceasefire announced by the TTP on March 1 for a month and later extended by 10 days ended on April 10 with no word from the group.
Attack on district court
At least two people were killed and several were injured on Friday in a shootout at a district court in Rawalpindi (Dawn). According to police, the indiscriminate firing was between two groups and with bystanders getting caught in the crossfire, but no more information was given about the groups who were firing. However, other sources alleged that an attorney, Sardar Amir, was the real target of the unknown attackers. The attack follows another, more deadly one on a courthouse in Islamabad on March 4 that killed 11 people and injured dozens.

Another Indian politician makes reprehensible rape remark
Mulayam Singh Yadav, leader of the Samajwadi Party, a regional party from Uttar Pradesh, announced on Thursday his befuddlement with death sentences for rape because, "boys make mistakes...there will be changes in the law if we come to power" (Indian Express, BBC, Economic Times). The remarks were made at a rally in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, and immediately invited the ire of many, with the opposition, BJP, saying the move amounted to "shameless votebank politics." Coalition ally, Congress, described the remarks as "unfortunate" and "encouraging to persons involved in such crimes" (Indian Express). Parents of the victim in a 2012 Delhi rape and murder called on voters to not elect leaders like Mulayam, as did former Delhi top cop Kiran Bedi who called for "the total boycott of such a political leader" (Hindustan Times).
Quick to defend his party boss was Uttar Pradesh politician Abu Azmi, who is perhaps best known as the man who fired two police officers for failing to find his missing cattle. Azmi went a step further than Mulayam Singh and suggested that women who engage in sex before marriage be hanged. Speaking to Mid-Day, Azmi said, "rape is punishable by hanging in Islam. But here, nothing happens to women, only to men. Even the woman is guilty. Girls complain when someone touches them, and even when someone doesn't touch them. It becomes a problem then," before adding the solution would be to hang both men and women (Hindustan Times).
High turnout in elections continues
The third phase of the Indian election continued to see a high turnout; Jammu and Kashmir recorded a 66 percent turnout (which the Election Commission described as 'outstanding'); Delhi saw a turnout of 64 percent (up 12 percent from 2009); and Uttar Pradesh saw 65 percent at the polls (up 14 percent from 2009). It has been reported that over 100 million Indians voted yesterday (Mint, NDTV).
Taking a cue from the high turnout in phase three, shares of industrial house Adani Group, perceived as close to BJP's Narendra Modi, saw its stock rise 23 percent to Rs. 470.25 ($7.81). Investors expect this is sign of victory for Modi. The Adani Group, which has business in ports, electricity generation, mining, and trading has risen 233 percent since September 2013 (Hindustan Times). In a dig at Modi's purported business backers, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi remarked that Modi replacing Advani with Adani, a reference to the infighting within the BJP which has supposedly sidelined top leaders (Times of India).

Ready for a run-off
Afghanistan's presidential hopefuls are now turning their attention to the next stage of the race: the very real possibility of a run-off (Pajhwok, RFE/RL). Abdullah Abdullah began what is expected to be a long period of deal-making with the announcement that he met with rival candidate Zalmai Rassoul to discuss the possibility of Rassoul giving his support to Abdullah in a second round: Rassoul is considered a distant third in the race. Ashraf Ghani said on Friday that he would prefer contesting a run-off election over withdrawing in favor of a rival candidate. In a video message, Ghani said that he was ready if the elections went to a second round run-off.
The country's Independent Election Commission announced on Thursday that it too was ready for a second round run-off election if necessary (Pajhwok). The commission, which reportedly has entered into its data system more than 45 percent of ballots cast, said the potential run-off would be free from any legal and technical problems.
Tomb resurrection
The tomb of Prince Abdullah, one of two historic graves just south of Herat, is being reconstructed at a cost of $400,000 (Pajhwok). The tomb, built in the late 15th century, is plain brick on the outside but richly decorated with what is probably the best surviving tile work from medieval Herat on the inside. Herat Information and Culture Director Ariya Raufian told Pajhwok Afghan News that the United States had provided $340,000 for the project, with the Heart Culture Legacy Foundation giving the remaining $60,000. He also said the grave would be reconstructed in line with the UNSCO's engineering designs.

Urijah Faber (pictured) was fighting in front of his hometown peeps in Sacramento, and the arena went nuts when his "California Love" (actually, Tupac's "California Love") hit the speakers for his walkout, so all the pressure was on him to win. Then again, it wasn't a title bout so Faber was pretty much a lock to leave victorious. Interesting fact, Faber owned a 29-6...

Returns are a common and sometimes frustrating part of commerce. Although only 16 percent of merchandise is returned, some goods are more likely to see the warehouse a second time around. It's probably not surprising that clothes tops the list of most returned items, but did you know that specific brands tend to be more return-likely than others? Take a look below to learn more.

The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport is proud to announce that SaskParks, Government House, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and the T.rex Discovery Centre have joined the Institute for Canadian Citizenship's Cultural Access Pass (CAP) program. CAP offers new Canadian citizens and their children free access to more than 1,200 Canadian cultural places and spaces in their first year of citizenship.
"We are delighted to be part of this program," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. "Our ministry destinations truly enhance the quality of life here in Saskatchewan and we want all Canadians to enjoy those opportunities. Through this program, new citizens will be able to explore our breathtaking natural environment and our fascinating history."
Saskatchewan's Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport will add 38 new attractions for CAP members to explore. New citizens can use their CAP pass to access the day-use areas of Saskatchewan's 35 provincial parks at no cost – encouraging them to experience the beautiful beaches, scenic hiking trails, restored historic villages and fur trade posts and world-class fishing that is available.
CAP members can also learn about Saskatchewan's natural history and Aboriginal cultures at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina and the province's fossil history at the T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend. Visitors to these two attractions will learn about the province's diverse ecological regions, discover what Saskatchewan was like during the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and experience First Nations' culture both past and present.
Government House in Regina is a must-see museum for newcomers to Saskatchewan. At Government House, visitors can learn about the evolution of Saskatchewan's legislature and find out what life was like for Saskatchewan's first Lieutenant Governor at the turn of the 20th century.
"Saskatchewan is one of the fastest growing places in Canada," Institute for Canadian Citizenship Executive Director and CEO Gillian Smith said. "We are delighted to partner with the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport to connect Canada's newest citizens with opportunities to learn about their new home."
The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport's participation in this program will add three new locations in the province where CAP members can pick up their pass: SaskParks head office, 3211 Albert Street, Regina; Government House, 4607 Dewdney Avenue, Regina; and the RSM, 2445 Albert Street, Regina. For more information about these destinations, visit their websites at www.saskparks.net, www.royalsaskmuseum.ca and www.governmenthouse.gov.sk.ca.

Keno Don Rosa is a big fan of Carl Barks who eventually got promoted to write the official Donald Duck stories in the spirit of The Good Duck Artist. He is one of those rare few writers who have managed to make an excessive use of Continuity Porn into great stories, and is widely regarded as one of the best things that ever happened to Disney comics.Up until his retirement, he had executive power over the Duck family canon, and brought the world some seriously great Arc Welding in the process.He grew up as a fan of the Donald Duck comics made by Carl Barks. When he grew older he submitted self drawn comics to Donald Duck fanzines, as well as letters to some debates. He even corresponded with Carl Barks from time to time. Eventually he quit being a hardcore fan, but he never quit being a fan of Carl Barks. Years later a new Donald Duck publication arrived, and Don Rosa applied for the job as an artist. He wrote a letter there he told how much he wanted to be the artist, that he would write the stories in the spirit of Carl Barks and that he was born to make it. (Indeed, in the 1970s and 80s Rosa had done two comics for newspapers in his hometown of Louisville, The Pertwillaby Papers and The Adventures of Captain Kentucky. He later reused several Pertwillaby storylines for his Scrooge stories.)He got the job, and he created Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck comics from 1987 to 2005. Because he was a great fan of The Good Duck Artist, he created what can be considered an Expanded Universe based on the Duck-master's works. That is to say, he used Continuity Porn, lots of Continuity Porn. Even Carl Barks told him he did too much Continuity Porn, but he didn't listen. He even dedicated all his comics to Carl Barks by hiding the word D.U.C.K. (Dedicated to Uncle Carl from Keno,) usually on the first page of each story.Rosa is known for his quirky drawing style and epic storylines, best exemplified by The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, his personal Magnum Opus. Since Uncle Scrooge is his favorite character, Rosa's longest and best stories deal with the complex and Bad Ass elder duck. His drawing style stems from his education in architecture and technical drawing, with no formal education in art.For those who consider Disney comics childish stories for five-year-olds, Rosa's style of making comics may be a surprise. The artist is known for doing ridiculously extensive research, basing much of his adventure stories on real historical factlets and making sure all the possible science in his comics is valid. In Life and Times, he drops famous people from the late 19th and early 20th century to Scrooge's life here and there, but always makes sure they were around that area around that time. He's also known for Getting Crap Past the Radar.Another notable feature of Rosa's work is his unveiling of the Duck Family Tree, based on random Remember the New Guy characters from Barks' stories.As of 2009, due to fading eyesight, and after years of disagreements over low pay and never getting any royalties from publishers, Rosa is more or less retired from comics. Here's his own words on the end of his career. Tear Jerker warning.Rosa also wrote two TaleSpin episodes, "I Only Have Ice for You" and "It Came from Beneath the Sea Duck".The YMMV page for his works is here.

The controversial past of big GOP donor Mel Sembler
Last week, Governor Rick Scott held a fundraiser at the home of Pinellas County based developer Mel Sembler. Over the course of the past two decades Sembler, his family and his companies have donated over a $1,000,000 to the coffers of various Florida Republicans or the RPOF. Sembler has long been one of the go-to donors for Republicans in Florida and has been twice rewarded by GOP Presidents with Ambassadorships. On occasion it should be noted that Sembler has also donated to Democrats. These have generally been Democratic candidates running in the Tampa Bay area for State House or State Senate. In many ways he and his family have long been seen as leading citizens of Pinellas County and St Petersburg. No doubt Sembler has earned this distinction, though one major aspect of his past is controversial.
Last week Mother Jones Magazine reminded us of another, less savory side of Sembler's background - one which is often forgotten but leaves a sour taste in the mouth and a queasy stomach. (Warning: many of the links to stories from the 1980s and 1990s contain disturbing narratives.)
In 1976, Sembler founded Straight Inc. which were drug treatment centers that developed a negative reputation in some outlets for its tactics and also lost a six figure lawsuit which alleged illegal detention of kids at the centers.
In 1990, the Los Angeles Times reported multiple cases of abuse forced California authorities to close a Straight Inc. clinic in southern California. This came less than a year after authorities in Texas had found abuses including patients being tied with rope to prevent freedom of movement and overcrowded bedrooms furnished with special containers for urination.
Being an anti-drug crusader put Sembler on a fast track to stardom in the Republican Party. While political donations make a big difference, Sembler's treatment centers got him special recognition from the Reagan and (elder) Bush Administrations, culminating in becoming an Ambassador and being named one of the President's "Thousand Points of Light." In fact, Sembler's political emergence coincided nicely timeline wise with the "War on Drugs" that was a major talking point of the 1980s and 1990s politically.
Sembler's own biography on his company website indicates an embrace of the Straight Inc. legacy.
Although best known as a leading shopping center developer, Sembler is also renowned for his activism in the anti-drug movement. In 1976, Sembler and his wife Betty founded STRAIGHT, an adolescent drug treatment program. During its 17 years of existence, STRAIGHT successfully graduated more than 12,000 young people nationwide from its remarkable program. He is nationally recognized as an activist in the anti-drug campaign and as a staunch, long-time supporter of the Republican Party and its candidates.
Through the years Sembler has continued to emerge as a leading fundraising in Republican Party circles. He became the RNC Finance Chairperson following Bob Dole's Presidential Election defeat in 1996. Sembler"s relationship to the Bush family, including Jeb Bush who had been defeated for Governor of Florida in 1994 and was running again in 1998. George W. Bush's run for President in 2000 was backed by Sembler and he was rewarded handsomely.
In 2001, President Bush appointed Sembler as the US Ambassador to Italy. This plum appointment resulted in a building being named after Sembler in Italy, something that to that point had never happened in the annals of US Diplomatic History. The biggest reason the building was named was thanks to Sembler's own Congressman Bill Young who was at the time Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. While nothing is technically wrong with doing this, it certainly raised eyebrows at the time.
The Republican Party of Florida, Governor's Charlie Crist and Rick Scott as well as countless Republican legislative candidates have been the biggest beneficiaries of Sembler's campaign cash since he returned to Florida from Rome in 2005. His extensive list of donations as well as that of other family members to state candidates can be easily accessed via the Division of Elections website.
He has also been active in anti-drug efforts including helping to pour money into Colorado in opposition to the 2012 marijuana ballot initiative in the state. Using Straight Inc. as a reference point, Sembler has helped make anti-drug crusading again a political issue.
What conclusion people come to about Sembler or Straight Inc. is up to each individual. However, we felt it was necessary to share some of the reporting going on outside Florida on this matter.

Love that this piece only gets written with the mention of Charlie Crist. What Charlie did under pressure as a republican shouldn't ever matter. He's a democrat now.
Jeebus. I had this argument earlier today. Charlie wasn't under the spell of the Republican Party, he was its standard bearer! He helped create the GOP mindset that rules the state today. For Pete's sake, he appointed Jim Greer to chair the party!
If you want to support him, that's one thing, but please stop trying to whitewash his reputation and rewrite history.
So what you are saying is that the only candidate for Florida's Governor that has never been in bed with this guy is Nan Rich.
No pay to play corporations or 1 %ers will contribute to her because she puts the people's interests ahead of the crooks. If people are sick of the 16 years of Republican special interests they need to send $25 to Nan so she can compete with the big money puppetmasters.
If it bashes Crist it will end up here. Kartik, really you are a smart guy and must realize this stuff ultimately hurts democrats.
This is a really good article but the point about Crist was unnecessary. Extraneous to the article and totally undermines what we are trying to do.
You miss the point. This is a great article and you do great work. But slipping Crist's name in an article that was sold to be about Republicans just undermines your credibility. Sembler obviously is a terrible man but how this relates to Crist.
Why does it seem that whenever you mention Crist there arises a chorus of Crist defenders, who's tone seems to be VERY similar….make you wonder….
It is hard to tell if Crist defenders are Dems. or Repubs. They hide behind alias' and never explain why they think Crist can be trusted. His contributors and financial people are in jail or should be. Defend him if you can but you can't deny his trail of undignified supporters.

Pop quiz, everybody: How many emo kids does it take to screw in a light bulb? OK, pencils down. The correct answer is five -- one to do it, one to form a band about it, one to write a poem about his loss, one to cry to his girlfriend about it, and one to start a 'zine about it. Connecticut's Hot Rod Circuit has four members, and none has a girlfriend. (They're all married.) No word on whether any of them plans to raid the nearest Xerox machine, take up custodial jobs, or write broken-hearted haikus. But no matter what they do, the quartet makes no apologies for its melodic, uptempo pop/punk that's earned it a growing fan base and landed opening slots for emo torchbearers like Jimmy Eat World and the Get Up Kids. HRC formed in Alabama, of all places, but the band soon grew disheartened with the Heart of Dixie and moved to Connecticut (except for vocalist Andy Jackson, who still lives in Sweet Home but keeps up with his Northeast crew). After several releases on small NYC label Triple Crown, HRC signed to Vagrant two years ago, and its most recent album, Sorry About Tomorrow, marks another chance for the band to reach the top -- or at least the nearest chandelier. Hot Rod Circuit performs at 8 p.m. Monday, February 17, at the Factory, 2674 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Fort Lauderdale. Call 954-566-6331.

An Irish teenager in Utah who accused her mother of physical abuse has been forced to return home to Ireland.
Melita Carter the teenager's older half sister told the Provo Daily Hearld that her sister was taken out of her seminary class at Timview High School on Wednesday. Carter said that Sharon got on an early flight Thursday morning, Dublin bound.
Her older sister Melita and her husband Chas are in the process of seeking legal guardianship over the 14 year old. Carter alleges that the teen was physically abused by her mother Caroline Cowan when she lived in Ireland. She told the Provo Daily Hearld that their mother had "hit and kicked the girl and thrown things at her."
The news was first publicized in Ireland when Caroline Cowan went on radio show in Dublin to plead for the safe return of her young daughter. The mother, a former Mormon was quoted as saying she was concerned that Mormons in Utah where trying to brainwash the girl.
Shannon arrived in Provo at the beginning of the summer on vacation to visit her older sister. When Shannon disclosed details of the alleged abuse to Carter she tried to do what she could legally to allow her sister to remain in the US.
"I tried contacting the police department in Ireland. They pretty much said that because it was a phone call it could be a prank phone call. They didn't believe me. I had to go to Ireland to make a statement and they had to have my signature," says Carter.
Carter managed to obtain a temporary protective order against their Mother. However unbeknownst to Carter a judge dismissed the protective order earlier this week and issued Provo police officers a court order to pick up the girl on Wednesday.
Carter wasn't allowed to see Shannon or say goodbye but they teenager did phone her sister from the toilet of a diner using a cell phone she borrowed from a lady. Carter said Shannon was afraid of what was going to happen to her on her return to Dublin.
"Me and my husband have done everything we can think of doing. We've done it the right way. We could have taken Shannon and we could have ran and hide. But we done everything the right way and just feel like it got thrown back in our face," Carter says. "If I had the money right now I'd be in Ireland. My next step is to try and come up with money and try to fight this."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Breathing room
Do devices designed to aerate wine have discernible flavour benefits?
A reader recently emailed me asking about aerators -- devices designed to help a red wine "breathe" more quickly than, say, regular decanting or swirling in a glass might accomplish.
You pour your red wine through an aerator, which agitates the wine, exposing it to more oxygen on the way to your glass.
Decanting a red wine typically exposes the surface of a wine to oxygen, which softens the tannin after a few hours. Tannin is that dry component of red wine that comes from the skins, seeds and stems of grapes. It produces that mouth-drying sensation on your teeth and gums. Aerators purport to soften the tannin more quickly than decanting, swishing the wine around en route to your glass and accomplishing in moments what a decanter does in hours.
The reader was interested in whether these devices actually make a difference in a wine's smell and taste. There was only one way to find out -- a taste test.
I picked up two reds for this experiment -- the Anakena 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rapel Valley, Chile -- $11.49, Liquor Marts and beyond) and the 2009 Ch¢teau le Monteil d'Arsac (Haut-Médoc, France -- around $29, private wine stores). I wanted to see if entry-level (read: cheaper) wines would benefit from aeration any more or less than bigger, more tannic mid-range reds.
I poured the Anakena into two identical glasses -- one straight from the bottle and the other through the Vinturi aerator. The Vinturi is the most popular aerator on the market today, and at $54.99 (at Banville & Jones -- others may sell for more or less) it's not cheap. Poured straight from bottle to glass, the Anakena is quite a good red -- cassis and milk chocolate notes shine on the nose, with some lighter spice and vanilla notes emerging on the palate. In the Vinturi-poured glass, the aromas got softer, highlighting riper, lush fruit and spice.
The Ch¢teau le Monteil d'Arsac is a 50-50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Poured straight into the glass, it showed blackberry, earth, light barnyard, spice, and cassis aromas. It's full-bodied, with dry, light black tea tannin on the medium finish -- a fantastic wine for the price. Again, the Vinturi emphasized the soft, plush fruit in the glass. So yes, there was a difference in both; I'd say it helped the Ch¢teau le Monteil d'Arsac slightly but didn't improve the Anakena per se -- it just made it different.
This same reader was also interested in stemware producer Eisch's so-called "breathable" glasses. These glasses are said to aerate wine in the glass -- again, they purport to achieve the same result in minutes what takes hours in a decanter. Again, at around $29.99 each (again, at Banville & Jones but also available in other select stores) they're not cheap.
For this experiment I poured some of each wine into the Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass, as well as into the Eisch breathable Bordeaux glass. The former glass is typically in the $35-ish price range, and can be found at private wine stores, kitchen stores and places like The Bay or HomeSense (often on sale).
In the Riedel glass, the Anakena showed more complexity than either of the first two pours, with peppery notes and heightened blackberry/cassis flavours. In the Eisch "breathable" glass the wine developed darker fruit flavours as well as spice/root notes like anise and black licorice that I hadn't picked up before. It tasted far more complex (regardless of how you drink this, it's a very good Cabernet for the price).
The Ch¢teau le Monteil d'Arsac seemed to retreat a bit in the Riedel glass relative to the first two pours -- the same aromas and flavours were detectable, but very subtly. In the Eisch glass it seemed to come alive, with pronounced, sophisticated balance, lifting and integrating the fruit and tannin in a way that none of the other pours managed.
So yes, the Vinturi aerator changes the wine -- specifically, it softens the tannins. But I honestly didn't find it added any complexity that would make it a must-have. It certainly made the Ch¢teau le Monteil d'Arsac more immediately drinkable, but the Anakena actually lost the little complexity and structure it had coming from the bottle. If you're considering one of these for your wine-loving dad for Father's Day, go for a less expensive competitors' model.
The Eisch "breathable" glasses, on the other hand, dramatically improved both wines relative to pours straight from the bottle, through an aerator, or in competitors' similar stemware. In the case of the Anakena, it added sophistication where it lacked in the other glasses -- it made a $12 red taste more expensive. The Ch¢teau le Monteil d'Arsac already had great complexity, and the glass brought everything into balance. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these glasses -- heck, I'd pick up a couple for Dad instead of an aerator.

DEFINITION of 'Investment Climate'
The economic and financial conditions in a country that affect whether individuals and businesses are willing to lend money and acquire a stake in the businesses operating there. Investment climate is affected by many factors, including: poverty, crime, infrastructure, workforce, national security, political instability, regime uncertainty, taxes, rule of law, property rights, government regulations, government transparency and government accountability.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Investment Climate'
An unfavorable investment climate is one of the many hindrances faced by underdeveloped nations. Regulatory reform is often a key component of removing the barriers to investment. A number of nonprofit organizations have been established for the purpose of improving the investment climate and spurring economic development in these countries. Also, some investors are willing to take on the high level of risk and volatility associated with investing in an unfavorable climate because of the potential that the high risk will be rewarded with high returns.

Rate Dr. Asif Salyani
Dr. Asif Salyani's Ratings
I am sure he is a good physician but there are others who are as good or better who do not treat patients like cattle. Emergencies do not account for the long waits, only greed.

I used to see Dr Salyani in his Whitby office, but he has since moved to Pickering and I believe the wait times have improved significantly.
I would wait hours and hours to see him, he saved my eye sight and he treats me like I am his most important patient!
His warm hearted nature and honesty makes my treatments that much easier.
His staff are always very pleasant and lovely to talk to if you give them the time!

I agree about the lack if respect for patients time. It would be one thing if there was an emergency and it was a rare occurrence to have to wait 3 hours but it is the norm to wait this ridiculous amount of time.

I have dealt with other ophthalmologist and Dr. Salyani is by far the best, most caring doctor. Yes, there may be a wait but remember there are always eye emergencies, someone that risks going blind if not provided immediate attention. I don't mind waiting if it will help someone not go blind. Dr. Salyani gives 100% of his attention to his patients and will ensure that all your needs are met before moving on to the next patient. Thank you for providing such great care.

Overbooked. Expect to wait 2-3 hours for a fee minutes of his time. Arrogant when you ask questions. Front staff are rude too.

Yes, you may have to wait (my experience is with the Newmarket clinic) but it is still so much better than the time it takes to drive into Toronto for treatments (with the traffic and high parking charges). Dr. Salyani is an excellent doctor, and a caring professional, and has always treated my stepfather with respect and concern for his particular situation. There are so many patients who need help, and if it means that I have to wait for a doctor whose main concern is the eyesight of his patients, is that really such a big deal? Just schedule your time accordingly, know there will be a wait, and be glad that once you see the doctor, you know you are being treated by someone worth waiting for.

I have to agree with those who complained about the amount of waiting time. I arrived for a 2:30 pm appt. at 2:15, signed my paperwork for lazer and took a seat in the first waiting room. There was no one ahead of me. At 4pm my husband asked how long we would be and the receptionist said it usually takes 2 1/2 - 3 hours of waiting. It was now 4:15 so my husband approached the desk again. The girl said she had no idea how long I would have to wait, but there were SIX people in front of me. She also said I might not get in at all. I am diabetic and must take insulin and eat at specific times. We also had another appt. at 5 p.m. There is no excuse to keep people waiting all this time. I am sure this doctor is very good and has concerns about his patients, but perhaps he should book less appts. so people can get along with there lives.

New office in Pickering seems to be run exactly the way his other "factory" clinics have been run based on what I've read here. Average wait time is 3-4 hours. They double-book patients with ten minute intervals. This system could work in a GP office but not in an specialists's office. A rater below claims that he gives his patients the utmost care. How is that possible if he has to rush through his long factory line!!!! Do not go to this specialist if you have a choice. Waste of time! Just a money grabber...
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][400112].votes_count ]]
Dr. Salyani's new clinic in Newmarket is run like a factory, the objective being, I suspect, to maximize his billings. Patients are routinely there four hours or longer, virtually all of this time spent in his two "holding cell" waiting areas, to be processed to meet his objective. After 4 hours, I had to leave without seeing him. He may or may not be a skilled physician, but he doesn't respect his patients' time. Anyone able to should seek other options for their eye care.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][400111].votes_count ]]
I don't know what the knowledge of Doctor Salyani is, but staff and punctuality is unbelievably bad. We had two appointments, one at 11:40, we got out of the office at 4:10; the second one 1:20 pm and is 3:05 and we are still waiting to be called. Very disorganized or maybe under staffed.

Fat Bob's Kirkland Tap Ii & The Union SoldiersFat Bob's Kirkland Tap II & The Union Soldiers
By Teresa Williams
December 28,2010 we are back in Fat Bob's Kirkland Tap again. Here is a link to our first investigation there:
The investigators present for this were: Small Town Paranormal; Dan Norvell, Dave Norvell. From Small Town Paranormal Oklahoma; Julie Ann Norvell. From HPI: Teresa Williams.
This is a second investigation for the night as we just left an apartment owned by the same person that owns this business. Rob Roquet (Small Town Paranormal) had his family to get back to, therefore could not continue with the second half of the evening. (we missed you Rob, but we understand).
We had very little evidence produced this time, but we did get responses from the pendulum session thanks to Dan and Dave's knowledge of guns.
There was one incident where we were all standing at the bar offering to pour a shot for the spirit if he would give us a sign. From behind me, a battery flew out of a pouch and down the bar. We all were amazed, but didn't capture it on camera.
We also got a few questionable pictures from the digital camera, not much evidence as the first visit earlier in December.
It was the 3rd investigation I had done with Small Town Paranormal, and the 1st I had done with Small Town Paranormal Oklahoma. I truly love investigating with these people. Dan, Dave, Rob, Julie… I have investigated with some great people, but you are really among top notch investigators when you investigate with these guys!
We had a wonderful time, and thank you to Fat Bob's Kirkland Tap for having us back!
Conclusion: (from previous investigation) Haunted.
Unions vs. Confederates
Small Town Paranormal was called to assist a family who was having trouble with what they thought was a Confederate Soldier spirit. This apartment is located in Fairdale, Illinois. It is located about 5 miles outside of Kirkland, Illinois where we were a couple weeks ago at Fat Bob's Kirkland Tap.
We had the pleasure of a two for one night this evening!
December 28,2010, the last investigation of the year, and it was a great one. Present for the apartment investigation was Small Town Paranormal: Dan Norvell, Rob Roquet and from Small Town Paranormal of Oklahoma: Julie Ann Norvell, from HPI: Teresa Williams.
Dan Norvell briefed us all on the activity going on there. There were shadows seen, strange noises in the kitchen area, a figure seen in the living room window from outside, the feeling of being watched, the son was having out of body experiences while he slept nearly every night.
We arrived at 9:00 pm.
We began by having the tenant point out the areas she was having the experiences, which were in the kitchen, living room, and in her son's room.
We learned that her son participated in civil war re-enactments as a Confederate soldier and had costumes for his role. It was refreshing to see a young man involved in our country's history like he is.
We began running the cameras and laser grids, and digital cameras. We felt that EVP's would be next to impossible as there were adjoining apartments and would be contaminated. So we relied on the pendulum for communications.
Through asking questions through the pendulum, Dan asked a series of questions that enabled us to determine there were six soldiers in the building. As we asked about the son's involvement in the re-enactments, we got definite answers about their disliking of it. We then were able to determine they were not Confederate soldiers after all. They gave strong replies to being Union soldiers. When we addressed them as Union soldiers, we found the spirits to be more acceptable to the communications.
The spirits also gave the indication they will be happier if the son would become a Union soldier in his role in the re-enactments. This will prove to be an interesting experiment in the future when he switches to a Union soldier.
We were actually able to see unexplained movements on cameras while we were filming and very strange "orb" ob
When we closed the investigation and the son returned to the apartment, Dan had explained to him that what he was experiencing was not an out of body experience, but it was astral projection. He also gave him a couple of tips to try to control it by sleeping on his side, and having family members assist him with it if they caught him sleeping on his stomach or his back. Again, it will be interesting to see how this family is doing in a few weeks.
Our conclusion…
These Union soldiers are still protecting their post!
