Greens hit by rising internal strife
CHRIS JOHNSON Strong tensions within the Greens have emerged just months from the federal election, with party leader Christine Milne being accused of running a dysfunctional office and allowing a culture of intimidation.
Labor and Coalition rule out GST rise
For all their bickering, Labor and the Coalition appear to be unified on one policy front. Both have adamantly ruled out raising the GST rate if elected in September, with Labor claiming it would hurt poorer Australians and the Coalition passing it off as an issue for the states.

Round the back please, that's where I like it best Oh I see you're a Crafty Butcher, can you open up then, I can't get in |

A male homosexual - one who likes to take his meat around the back. "A fayre visaged manne was in the partee,
Lipsed of voyse, and limpe of wriste eek. Ful wynsomme a crafty butcher was he, We played heide thee sausage and I could not sitte downe for a weeke." - Geoffrey Chaucer, Prologue to the Canterbury Tales |
3. | Crafty Butcher | ||
The term is coined from an old English expression and is used to describe someone who is homosexual. It comes from the 1930's when shopkeepers had to pay the tax man at the front door of their shops when receiving stock to sell, whereas the "crafty butcher" would have his MEAT delivered to the BACK DOOR. "Check that guy, he's a crafty butcher, look at the way he walks."
"What do you mean?" "Well he obviously takes meat round his back door." |

text: Thank you very much for the answer! I really feel I should've been less stingy with this game, because everything you described appeals to me a lot, and I simply couldn't see it at the time. I think the fact that I played it during the free week-end especially played a part there, as with it there comes this influx of people playing the game for the first time, which provides an erratic kind of fun, but when that wears off (and it does very quickly), it's almost impossible to witness the real community at its best.

One of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands ever! Their nick-names are no longer Donna. The Donnas are: Allison, Maya, Brett and Torry. Not Donna R., Donna F., Donna A. and Donna C.

The Donnas kick Guns and Roses sorry asses!!!!!
I have way more respect for The Donnas than I do for gnr. Who else respects The Donnas alot more than gnr?
5. | The Donnas | ||
though this phrase is widely known as a "kick-ass rock band", the name also dons the quad of secretaries that work at Hinsdale Hospital. While only two of them are actually named Donna, the group shares a singular title for their horrible, parallel attributes. Such as: rudeness, nosiness, nagging perseverance of trivial things, unmovable and inconvenient resilience to bending the rules, and nitpicky-ness. "Ugh, I have to go see The Donnas to do some paperwork."
"Karen is the worst Donna." "My charts were one hour late. The Donnas acted like I personally crucified Jesus." |

Major League Baseball is looking into a solution to a scheduling issue that could prevent the Super Bowl champion Ravens from opening next season in Baltimore.
Traditionally, the NFL's champs kick off the season on the Thursday night after Labor Day with a home game. But the Orioles are set to play the White Sox that night at Camden Yards, which uses the same parking lots as the Ravens' stadium.
"From a baseball competitive standpoint, it would be very difficult to change times. We're talking about September," MLB senior vice president Katy Feeney, who oversees scheduling, said Tuesday.
September 5th is in the midst of the stretch run for the pennant and wild cards. The NFL said it does not have the option of moving the Ravens' opener to the previous night because of Rosh Hashanah.
Discussions center on possibly switching the White Sox-Orioles game to a Thursday afternoon contest, but the Orioles are in Cleveland the previous night and there would be union restrictions. Moving that game to the afternoon also is a possibility. That would also involve changing the White Sox-Yankees game in New York on Sept. 4 to a day contest.
Or the Orioles could simply not play on Sept. 5 and schedule a doubleheader against Chicago on another day that weekend.
Attendance and broadcast revenue also would be affected.
"There's not a lot of wiggle room," Feeney said, adding that MLB's schedule came out late last year.
If the NFL and MLB can't work out a compromise, the Ravens could wind up in the Sunday night game on September 8th; the Orioles play the White Sox that afternoon.
This is the first time that the Ravens and Orioles have had a scheduling conflict.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the day he would be "disappointed for our fans" if the team opens on the road.
"The team belongs to the fans, the team belongs to the community," Harbaugh said. "You say whose team is this? It's the community's team. This is pro football, it's about the greater Ravens nation, so to speak. To have that home game after the Super Bowl has kind of become tradition."
Harbaugh added that having the opportunity to play at the stadium for the opener would be something that the Ravens would cherish. He also believes it would mean a lot to their fans.
"As far as the football team, we'll play them anywhere. We'll play anywhere, we'll go on the road, we'll play at home. We don't care who you schedule us against. We have to play eight on the road and eight at home anyway, so if they send us on the road, we'll happily play in that game. But I will be disappointed for our fans."

A typical β-Thalassemia Short Program chromatogram of a patient of HbS/C phenotype. Integration of the chromatogram by the VARIANT II yields objective and precise results when compared to traditional methods.
The β-Thalassemia program combines three laboratory methods into a single, fully automated assay. Unlike electrophoretic and column methods, the VARIANT II provides objective and precise results.
The VARIANT II™ Beta-Thalassemia Short Program Reorder Pack offers fully automated, multi-analyte β-thalassemia testing for increased laboratory productivity and accuracy. Each 6.5-minute assay provides simultaneous, quantitative results for percent HbA2 and HbF while detecting the most commonly occurring abnormal hemoglobin variants.
One VARIANT II assay can replace three manual assays in the laboratory. The instrument accepts capped primary whole blood tubes, allows through-cap piercing, and provides true walk-away operation. Both percent HbA2 and HbF results are calibrated for the highest levels of precision and accuracy.
270-2103 Reagents, supplies for 250 tests of hemoglobin A2 and F in whole blood using the VARIANT II System; aids in β-thalassemia diagnosis

Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Biologist John Odenkirk (C) and intern Jarrett Talley (R) net northern snakehead fish on a stunboat in Little Hunting Creek off the Potomac River, Virginia May 23, 2013. Assistant biologist Mike Isel operates the stunboat at left. They're freakishly strong, hungry air-breathers that can survive for short periods on land. But northern snakehead fish, once viewed as an unstoppable scourge in U.S. waters, may have gotten a bad rap. The threat of the snakehead, native to China's Yangtze basin, which is believed to spawn repeatedly during the year unlike other species that spawn just once, is that it is such a hardy newcomer that it could squeeze out longer-established and more desired fish in their areas.

The Brewers have lost nine of their last 10, but shortstop Jean Segura's outstanding play during the past week earned him National League Player of the Week honors for the period ending May 12.
In five games last week, Segura hit an NL-best .500 over 20 at-bats while leading the league in slugging percentage (.950) and on-base percentage (.545).

Not only that, but Segura tried to steal second base after that play and was thrown out. He stole second base ...

Rodriguez, who pitched the last 1 1/2 seasons for the Brewers, was not offered a job as a free agent over the off-season and has been in his native Venezuela. He did pitch for ...

"If I had a player named in the Biogenesis story, I'd be very concerned ...
The Brewers signed infielder Yuniesky Betancourt to a Major League deal, according to a press release from his agency. He'd been the team's starting shortstop in 2011.

Milwaukee band Get Rad's latest album What the F*** Happened to Common Sense was prescient.

Greinke said he didn't know who those players were, but liked the deal for the Brewers after he heard more about them. He earlier had told Melvin that the team's farm system was short on power arms, "guys who could throw 100 out of the bullpen." And shortstops, he said, are the ...

Greystone Halloween, Part Twoin Comics by GuigarMonday, October 18, 2010 - 12:00 AMHalloween 2001 was uneasy. The month before, we had suffered all of the fright we could handle. That's why Mac decided to throw a party -- to get out of a rut. In the excitement, an invitation gets delivered to the wrong address -- to that of an actual witch. The guest and Argus make a love connection... and hilarity, as always, ensues.

Robin Benzing continued his meteoric rise during the FIBA World Championship last summer when he averaged 4.6 points in 18 minutes per game. He arrived on the National Team scene in a big way at EuroBasket 2009 where he averaged 5.5 points in 20 minutes per game despite having had only very limited professional experience in top flight basketball and since then, he has moved ahead of more experienced players in the pecking order. With excellent ball handling skills and a decent perimeter game due to his ability to knock down three-pointers on a consistent basis, Benzing is likely to be on the international scene for a long time to come. He has sometimes been compared to a young Dirk Nowitzki with some claiming he is better defensively than the NBA All Star was at that age but for the time being, the comparisons stop there. Benzing probably needs to bulk up a little more if he is to continue his progress and establish himself as a premier player at the elite level.

SHEFFIELD — Vermont State Police investigating the abduction and killing of a Sheffield grandmother more than two years ago have returned to her home to search the property.
Mary "Pat" O'Hagan, 78, disappeared from her home in September 2010. Her body was found nearly a month later by hunters in a remote area 10 miles away.
No arrests have been made in her killing.
WCAX-TV reported that detectives searched her property Tuesday to see if anything may have been overlooked.
In November a Vermont state police detective testified that Michael Norrie, a Sheffield man held on other charges, "was confessing to part of the murder" when he stopped cooperating with authorities.

The Greenhouse 100: Corporate Greenhouse Gas Polluters
The Greenhouse 100 index is the first ranking of U.S. industrial polluters on the basis of emissions of gases responsible for climate change. Topping the list are three power companies: American Electric Power, Duke Energy, and Southern Company. Each emits over 100 million tons of carbon dioxide annually; together they are responsible for more than five percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Project Directors James Boyce and Michael Ash calculated the percentages of low-income and minority populations living within ten miles of each facility. These indicate the extent to which the toxic co-pollutants that are produced along with greenhouse gases disproportionately impact these groups.
The Toxic 100 Water Polluters: Electric Utilities Top the List
With the Toxic 100 Water Polluters Index, James Boyce and Michael Ash offer the first systematic listing of top water polluters in the United States. The Ohio Valley Electric Corporation, the Ferro Corporation, American Electric Power, the U.S. Department of Defense and the Southern Company top the list of polluters. The accompanying report, "A Toxic Flood, looks at what the worst polluters are dumping and who is most affected. The index is based on releases of hundreds of chemicals from industrial facilities across the U.S., and takes into account not only the quantity of chemicals released, but also their toxicity. >> Go to the Toxic 100 Water Polluters homepage
Reassessing Debt-to-GDP Ratios: Critiquing Reinhart and Rogoff
Thomas Herndon, Michael Ash and Robert Pollin examine Reinhart and Rogoffs research on the relationship between public debt and GDP growth for advanced economies in the post World War II period. Reinhart and Rogoff argue that the rate of economic growth for these countries has consistently declined precipitously once the level of government debt exceeds 90 percent of the countrys GDP. In recent years, Reinhart and Rogoffs results have been highly influential as support for austerity policies in both Europe and the United States. Herndon, Ash and Pollin find that a series of data errors and unsupportable statistical techniques led to an inaccurate representation of the actual relationship between public debt levels and GDP growth. They find that when properly calculated, average GDP growth for advanced economies at public debt-to-GDP ratios over 90 percent is not dramatically different than when debt-to-GDP ratios are lower. >> "Does High Public Debt Consistently Stifle Economic Growth? A Critique of Reinhart and Rogoff" >> "Debt and Growth: A Response to Reinhart and Rogoff" in The New York Times, April 29, 2013 >> Supplemental Technical Critique of Reinhart and Rogoff's "Growth in a Time of Debt"
The Austerity Agenda and the Erosion of Social Protections
Robert Pollin asks: Are austerity hawks correct that there is simply no alternative to their agenda? Focusing on the U.S., Pollin shows that the hawks claims about large deficits causing high inflation and interest rates have been consistently wrong for four years. Moreover, the U.S. is nowhere near experiencing a fiscal crisis in the commonsense definition of the term, which is to say, the government is facing difficulties in meeting its commitments to creditors. Pollin argues that many austerity hawks view this period as an opportunity to eviscerate the public sector, labor unions, and basic social protections, and he sketches some ideas capable of countering that agenda. >> Download Austerity Economics and the Struggle for the Soul of U.S. Capitalism
Shifts in Position for Capital Control Policies
Ilene Grabel examines five factors that explain the shifting position of capital controls in international monetary policy debates during the current crisis. These include: the rise of increasingly autonomous developing states; the increasing assertiveness of policymakers in these states; a pragmatic adjustment by the IMF to an altered global economy in which its influence has been restricted; the intensification of the need for capital controls by countries that faced implosion and also by those that fared too well during the current crisis; and changes in the ideas of academic economists and among IMF staff. >> Download The Rebranding of Capital Controls in an Era of Productive Incoherence
Factoring Gender into Strategies for Growth
James Heintz addresses the lack of attention that has been paid to gender in the policy frameworks, summits, and declarations of the G20. He finds that the G20 has not seriously considered the fact that sources of gender inequality interact with changes in the economic environment to produce distinct outcomes for women and men. He concludes that gender bias must be identified within the G20s approach to economic governance if their commitment to inclusive growth is to be realized, and makes five concrete recommendations that would represent significant steps towards this goal. >> Download "Missing Women: The G20, Gender Equality and Global Economic Governance"
How Large Should the U.S. Financial Sector Really Be?
In the aftermath of the financial crisis, many observers have concluded that the U.S. financial system has grown to excessive size relative to the economys non-financial sectors. Gerald Epstein and James Crotty explore ways to conceptualize the U.S. financial sectors appropriate size and quality. They then look at the efficiency of the financial sector in financing real economic activity and the social purpose of financial innovation. They conclude from this preliminary research that the financial sector may need to be only one-half to one-quarter as large as it is currently to serve the existing needs of the real sector. >> Download How Big Is Too Big?

Man Charged With Attempted Capital Murder Heads to Trial
By: Jay Dillon
Updated: December 3, 2012
Police say Sergio Andrade-Martinez fired several rounds at officers from the balcony of his Bedford Loop Apartment last March during a standoff with officers. It all started when investigators tried pulling the 50-year-old man over near his apartment just blocks away from the University of Arkansas. Police say Andrade-Martinez then drove off, leading them in a chase that ended on Bedford Loop. That's when, according to officers, Andrade-Martinez locked himself in an apartment, before coming out and firing shots at police. One officer, Blake Williamson, was shot in the right leg. Six other officers also exchanged shots with Andrade-Martinez. Those six returned to duty four days later while Officer Williamson was out of action until June.
A man is recovering in the hospital after he was hit by a car in Lowell. It happened around 8:20 pm Sunday. Lowell police say a 2002 Chevy Blazer, driven by Laura Santillan, was heading North on 71B when Carl Faber tried crossing at the Apple Blossom intersection. Police say Santillan was unable to to avoid hitting Faber. He was taken to Northwest Medical Center in Springdale, his condition is unknown.
Many are anxiously waiting to hear Jeff Long announce a new head coach for the Hogs. Just over a week ago, Long told the team he planned to have a coach in place in 10 to 14 days, indicating a new hire would be formally announced by mid-week. The latest name attached to the search is Vanderbilt Head Coach James Franklin. A report from Tennessee columnist Clay Travis says Franklin rejected an offer of more than $5 million a year to come to Arkansas. But sources tell the Razorback Nation that Long is close to finishing out a deal with the next head coach at the University of Arkansas.
The son of the other Razorback leader, basketball coach Mike Anderson is arrested for driving while intoxicated early Sunday morning in Fayetteville. According to a probable cause report, officers pulled Michael Anderson Jr. over after they saw him run a stop sign and change lanes improperly on Wedington Drive. Officers reported there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from the car and they arrested Anderson after he failed a sobriety test. This is Anderson's third DWI arrest.
In Fayetteville, official plans for a new downtown parking deck are expected to be announced this week. A consultant team recommended to the city council that the parking garage be built in the theater lot, which is where Grubs Bar & Grill and the Walton Arts Center employee parking lot currently sit. However, there are two other location options available for the city council to consider. The council is expected to make a decision sometime this week.
The conditions are perfect for controlled burns to quickly get out of hand and Washington County is under a red flag warning to prevent disasters. The Fayetteville Fire Department says the mix of wind speeds and low humidity are the right combination to ignite fires that can quickly get out of control. As the temperatures start to drop, many will be stoking the flames in their fireplaces. Firefighters say you should put the ashes in a metal bucket or water them down.
These unseasonably warm temperatures are putting a damper on a holiday tradition. The Rink at Lawrence Plaza is now closed because it's too warm! Skating season normally runs from now through January 20th, but because of the temperatures, parks and rec will re-open it as soon as they can keep the ice frozen.

Rule #2: Do not over water. I find myself having to fight back the urge to water them...these plants are fabulous for people who forget to water! If outdoors, water once every other week, and for indoor watering once a month or longer. Signs that you are over watering will show the leaves turning yellow and almost "rotting" off the plant. Under-watering succulents will show the leaves turning brown and shriveling.
What you will need:1. A shallow pot with a drainage hole on the bottom.
2. A well-draining soil mix (pre-made mixes for cactus & citrus plants work great).
Happy planting,
Love the gorgeous little pots? Well, Gin made them! Yes, I know...she is multi talented. She's about to launch a new Etsy shop, but if you just can't wait to get your hands on one of these ceramic beauties you can email her. She'd be more than happy to send one in the mail before the shop officially opens.

Pros and Cons of being a Good Guy vs Bad Boy
Re-posting this gem from last year
Good guy Pros and Cons
- Con: Women think good guys are boring and do not excite them at all.
- Pro: Good guys get to be friends with girls
- Con: Just friends
- Con: Women use good guys to cry on their shoulders when the bad boys wrong them and screw them over. Soon after the crying to the good guy they go back to screwing the bad boy in bed.
- Pro: Women always say they settle and marry the good guy.
- Con: Key word is settle because deep down they still want a bad boy.
- Con: No matter how long girls date a good guy they will still always remember and think about the bad boy who turned their life upside down and inside out years ago.
- Pro: Women say they want a good guy.
- Con: They are lying because actions speak louder than words and they usually date asshole bad boys.
- Con: Good guy try to please girls and make them happy, however girls will not like this because as they always say they need a "challenge" and good guys don't give them one.
- Con: Good guys get the "honor" of raising the bad boys kids after he left the girl high and dry and with 2 or 3 of his kids.
- Con: Women love a confident man, but after the good guy has gotten rejected by women after women he has no confidence left and yet women wonder why.
- Pro: Good guys don't like to play games and stay out of drama.
- Con: Girls love drama and since good guys have no game they once again need the "challenge" of a bad boy.
- Con: Girls think niceness is weakness and will not feel protected with a good guy.
- Pro: Good guys are reliable.
- Con: Girls think that means you are predictable and therefor they love to get dicked around by the bad boy.
- Pro: Don't get me wrong, Good guys can still get girls
- Con: After they have been used and abused by 1,2,3,or more bad boys good guys get the sloppy seconds.
Pros: 6 Cons: 14
- Con: After a bad boy has fucked with a girls head so much they can leave. This leaves the girl fucked up in the head with so much issues for the poor good guy to try and take care of.
Bad Boy pros and cons
- Pro: Bad boys are desired by all sorts of women. The more a girl sees other girls wanting a guy, the more they too want the guy. So many girls desiring him in fact that he can pick and choose which girls to fuck.
- Pro: While the good guys are putting in the effort of trying to take care of a girl, a bad boy is putting in no effort with that same girl. The girl will want the bad boy because the more a bad boy plays hard to get the more and more and more a girl wants him.
- Pro: For every 1 girl a good guy sleeps with a bad boy has slept with 6 or 7.
- Pro: If a girl is looking for a one night stand or a short term romance they will choose a bad boy because with all the experience a bad boy has they assume they will be fantastic in bed.
- Pro: If a girl lives a boring life they automatically assume good guys are also boring and therefor they need a bad boy for some dangerous excitement.
- Con: With all the girls that the bad boys are banging they have a high chance of getting STD's
- Pro: Bad boys also have a high chance of getting a girl pregnant. This may seem like a con but it is not because a bad boy could leave the girl at anytime leaving her to find some good guy sap to take care of her and the kids. The bad boy could also come back into the girls life because she will more than likely take him back 95 percent of the time.
- Pro: bad boys like to show a woman their soft side or tell the girl they are misunderstood. This way after he does 50 bad things to her, when he does the 1 or 2 good things to her she loves him for it.
- Pro: Bad boys usually cheat on every woman they date. Which doesn't matter because the girls usually take him back at least 2 or 3 times so he can cheat again.
- Pro: A bad boy with a girlfriend probably has 1 or 2 women on the side and knows that it is okay if he gets caught because the chance that all 3 girls will take him back at least once is high.
- Pro: A bad boy will cheat on a girl with her best friend. The girl will then kick the best friend out of her life and take the bad boy back giving the bad boy the last laugh.
- Pro: While a good guy is treating a woman like a queen she will use him and in turn treat a bad boy like a king. Kissing his ass and doing most of what he asks.
- Con: A bad boy could be put in jail for abusing his girlfriend or wife.
- Pro: The girl will still bail him out and take him back within the week if not the very next day.
- Pro: The bad boy gets the fun of putting a girl down time and time again about her looks among other things. Thanks to this the girl will still think he is the best thing going.
- Pro: The bad boy knows that once he starts to mess with a girls head any good guy can try and date her but she will still be fantasizing about the bad boy.
- Pro: Bad boys know they can use most girls because most girls try and change them. They give the girls hope that they will change but they have no reason to change.
- Pro: When a bad boy breaks up with a girl they always try to crawl back and basically beg him to come back.
- Pro: Women make every excuse in the book for their bad boy boyfriends no matter what they do.
- Con: A bad boy might not ever find love or ever have a worthwhile relationship…
- Pro: He does not really give a shit because he is getting all the fun and all the girls. Despite putting in little effort, being irresponsible, lying, cheating, stealing, abusing, he can still manipulate and get all the girls the good guys are interested in and have them worship him like a god until HE breaks up with her because it is hardly the other way around.
Con: 3 Pro: 18
Bad boys: Getting the last laugh since 2000BC

Some lawmakers had wanted all local school board members to be chosen by voters, in part because boards can raise taxes. Today, county school board members are elected, while some city school boards are entirely appointed and others are a mix of elected and appointed members.
Republican Bryant says more studies aren't needed, and he'll back a bill in the 2014 Legislature to achieve elections.
Opponents had worried about changing board term lengths and electing all board members at one time. Some cities say they value appointed members who don't want to run for office.
Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, an Oxford Republican, says lawmakers can study the issue without a law.

Elaine Purvis of Bennettsville enjoyed her work as an injection press operator at industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation. When the Laurinburg, N.C., plant closed down in July 2008, she said goodbye to a family of coworkers and a job she had known for 20 years.
Fast forward to July 2012, and Purvis proudly stands in a brightly painted room with pint-sized chairs and colorful posters covering every inch of wall space. She is owner and director of Write At Home Learning Daycare, which she operates out of her home in Bennettsville.
Purvis created a new career for herself by going to Northeastern Technical College and earning an Associate in Applied Science in Early Childhood.
"I love it! I love owning my own business and being my own boss," Purvis said with enthusiasm that matches the busy walls and shelves of the playroom that doubles as a learning center for children ages two months to 12 years old. "I wish I'd gone into early childhood education sooner, but it wasn't the right time."
The "right time" came 35 years after she'd graduated high school. The thought of going back to school made her nervous and scared, but after much prayer and research into early childhood careers, Purvis enrolled in classes at NETC. She took advantage of the support services offered to students through the Student Support Services program, and she received tutoring when she needed assistance with her accounting classes. She also took part in the many SSS activities such as field trips and on-campus socials.
"I felt like a teenager again," Purvis said of her college experience. "Thanks to NETC, I was very successful in my studies, and I loved going to school. I had excellent instructors who motivated me to do well and made sure I 'got it' before leaving the classroom."
Purvis made the dean's list regularly and looked forward to clipping the NETC Honors Lists out of the newspaper at the end of each semester.
Purvis graduated in 2011, and became a licensed daycare operator shortly afterward. Her learning center is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Young children in her care are taught the basics that prepare them for school such as their ABC's, numbers, shapes and colors. She helps older children with their homework and teaches them good manners. The children also have story time, make crafts and have playground equipment for outdoor activities.
"To run a daycare, you have to love children and be patient and caring," Purvis said. "You are a parent to these children and are responsible for their development. I don't let them come here and do nothing, because what they learn in their early years will stick with them forever."
Purvis has five grown children of her own with husband Ronnie. Her children and her husband were very supportive of her when she decided to go back to school and pursue this new career.
"All of my children had gone to college, but none had finished. When I went back to school, I was a grandmother!" Purvis said. "This motivated all four of my daughters to finish college and get a degree. One of my daughters and I were even in the same class at NETC."
Purvis is glad to be serving a need for daycare services in her community where many are single working mothers.
"While I enjoyed my job at Eaton, I love what I am doing now," Purvis said. "NETC was my pathway to this rewarding career and becoming a business owner."

Attacks on wireless clients
Security experts are always concerned with WLAN access points, but they sometimes forget that the client is also open to attack. Public hotspots make it quite easy for attackers to hijack connections, as the Hotspotter tool demonstrates.
Thanks to today's complex security mechanisms, wireless networks appear to be getting safer by the minute. Authentication constructions based on the EAP framework (Extensible Authentication Protocol) promises to keep uninvited guests at bay. The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) [1], with its quickly changing WEP keys, prevents replay attacks and makes cracking the encryption technology more complex. And keys are getting longer. WPA/ WPA2 [2] and the move to AES encryption [3] would seem to provide a nearly perfect security solution for enterprise networks. And just to make sure, access points are also equipped with VLAN support, Intrusion Detection, and firewalling systems – all of which cost serious sums of money.

Experience the thrill of driving not one but two of the most amazing supercars, with this Double Supercar Thrill experience. You can choose to drive the Ariel Atom, Aston Martin, Audi R8, Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche - which two will you select? Once you have recovered from the excitement of driving your first supercar, you get to do it all over again by getting behind the wheel of your second chosen supercar. As well as driving, you will also see how your instructor does it as they take you around the track for an exciting high speed passenger ride, as they find the quickest way in and out of the corners.
On arrival at the centre at your allotted time you will receive a demonstration lap followed by an in-car briefing on driving techniques and safety by your instructor, in a track-prepared sports or saloon car. Then it's on to the main event - get behind the wheel of your first chosen supercar for 3 or 4 laps (depending on location) before driving your second chosen supercar for an additional 3 or 4 laps. Once you have driven your two chosen supercars you will receive a short debrief from your instructor who will add comments and a score to your driver's ticket. You'll then get into the passenger seat of a specially prepared performance saloon car for a thrilling high-speed passenger ride that will leave you holding on tight. Your experience will conclude with the collection of your commemorative driving certificate.
All you have to do is pay for the experience you wish to purchase and we'll send a gift pack to you or directly to the recipient. A voucher and booking information will be included in the pack so you just need to check the info and book your experience.
