- Small business owners reluctant
- Sundays are mainly for "browsing"
- No compulsion for businesses to open
Small business owners across Perth will begrudgingly work this Sunday when seven-day trading begins - but they're warning they will close unless customers turn up.
This weekend heralds an historic moment for Western Australia, with all metropolitan retailers allowed to open between 11am and 5pm on a Sunday for the first time.
Major shopping centres are expecting between 80-95 per cent of their stores to open, with only services such as banks and post offices closed.
However, many of the smaller shops have given seven-day trading a short life line, predicting low turnover will force them to close on Sundays until the busier Christmas period.
Several centres attempted to get ahead of the pack by opening last Sunday. But their retailers were disappointed.
Numerous small business operators in those centres complained that the entertainment put on to attract people was a greater hit than the shops, which began closing as early as 3pm.
Others said there had been too little advance advertising for the extra shopping hours.
Owner of Produce at Innaloo Westfield, Loan Trung, said she wanted to open on Sundays to provide fresh fruit and vegetables every day but after only small takings last Sunday she feared it would not be economical.
Mrs Trung and her husband will work all weekend, along with two staff, to keep down costs.
She won't be alone, with every small business owner contacted by WAtoday.com.au yesterday saying they would - reluctantly - work on Sundays because it was too expensive to hire staff.
If trade was low they would not hesitate to close early and not open on future Sundays. Many said they would give seven-day trading a few weeks before deciding whether it was worthwhile.
Owner of Cobblers & Keys at Innaloo Westfield, Jeffrey Gilbert, said he was forced to open because his competitors were, but as soon as they gave up, so would he.
He did not want to be the first to fold because it may encourage his competitors to remain open on Sundays for longer.
"In the long-term I don't plan [to open on Sundays]," Mr Gilbert said.
"I'm hoping my competitors will realise it's not viable and they'll shut. They'll be losing money every week, I know that for sure.
"I think the only Sunday that will work for me is Christmas Eve. The rest of them are just a waste of time."
Mr Gilbert said on previous Sundays that the centre had opened he had taken just $20-30.
Shops that require more than one staffer are juggling mid-week rosters to accommodate the extra working day, while some have called in more family members for support on Sundays.
Hairhouse Warehouse owner Effie Lucas cannot man her salon alone and was forced to operate short-staffed yesterday to give employees who work with her on Sunday a day off during the week.
"I hope [Sunday trading] will be good but I don't think it will," she said.
Lisschele Masters said she and her daughter would be running her shop Flowers in the Garden, at Garden City, on Sunday but she does not expect it to be worthwhile.
"Initially, I don't have those expectations," she said.
"Myself and my family will be doing the first few to monitor it."
The situation is even more difficult for retailers with several stores.
John Ferrier, who owns four newsagencies in three shopping centres, said he would open only three.
He would be the sole worker at his Belmont store, while his son would run another and two junior employees would staff the third.
He said shops at Belmont Forum, which were mostly owned by sole traders, had banded together to open this Sunday despite misgivings.
"A lot of them don't want to open but if you don't all open it's going to be a futile event," he said.
"If customers come in and see half of [the shops] closed they're not going to come back."
However, there was no guarantee the stores would open the full hours.
"We'll suss it out; if it dies around 3 o'clock, we'll all start slowly closing," he said.
"I think it will be a moderate day until people get into the habit of coming in [on Sundays]."
But fellow Belmont Forum trader Mark Piani is refusing to open his surf clothing shop on Sundays.
"No way in the world," he said.
"When is small business meant to have a day off? We already do six days a week.
"The football's on, you catch up with your family and mates, you live your life."
Mr Piani said experienced showed people in the centre on Sundays were there to browse and not spend.
"They'll walk in and get a coffee and wander around," he said. "People use the shopping centres as a hub to take the kids."
He said other traders were struggling to convince staff to work because they feared they would be told to close up early, without being paid for the full day.
Mr Ferrier said he would prefer the shorter Sunday trading hours to begin earlier in the day.
"Your day is lost," he said. "You get up in the morning, you sit around at home waiting to go to work. It would be much better to start at 9 o'clock and finish at three."
Small Business Commissioner David Eaton this week sent a letter to 10,000 small business owners in Perth confirming their right not to open on Sundays.
Mr Eaton said retailers could not be penalised or forced to pay shopping centre operating costs for Sundays if they chose not to open.
"So far, we have received only a small number of inquiries from retailers to our business advisory service in regard to Sunday trading, with most of those callers concerned about whether they would be liable to pay operational costs if they chose not open on Sundays," Mr Eaton said.
"The answer of course is no.
"I've spoken with several shopping centre managers and managing agents in the past few weeks and they are all clear on their responsibilities regarding Sunday trading."
Mr Eaton said he was not aware of any shopping centre insisting their tenants open on Sundays.
The Small Business Development Corporation has developed a free, online business calculator to help retailers work out whether it is viable to open on Sundays.

Bake for about 45-50 minutes, depending on the size of your pan, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing the cake from your pan.
My gang also loves these and your recipe for them is really terrific. I have, however, never thought to bake them as a cake. I must be getting old :-). Your cake looks wonderful and really begs to be tried. Your daughter can't help but love it. I hope you have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary

That link is also talking about the oil in the Kurdistan Region (formerly northern Iraq). I will add it to the thread about the brewing war between Kurdistan and Iraq.
Edit: Found the reference to Syria:
If the Assads do fall, Syria's Kurds will be indebted to Mr Barzani. They could emerge as a major force in Syria, largely because of their numbers. They may also be better organised than other Syrian groups caught up in infighting. Syria's Kurds also sit on most of the country's oil resources.

text: Starting off as a manufacturer of bag making machines in 1963, Fu-Kuang has distinguished itself as a premier supplier of rotogravure and flexographic printing presses.The founder of the company, Mr. Chi-Chung Yu, began his career as a shrimper and hawker in his teenage years, and turned to a technician of pedal-powered generator factory, where he learned electrical and mechanical engineering. He also learned several musical instruments, and hence once he almost became a musician in a funeral parlour.However, his interest and passion in mechanical engineering did not wane, leading him to carry out pioneering work on the converting and printing industry in Taiwan.We have come a long way since 1963, moving from bag making to CI flexo printing, from analog to digital, aligning our products closely with the needs of modern printing industry. As a leading company in the industry, naturally it turned out to be a training school of directing technicians for the converting and printing industry in Taiwan.The company's first rotogravure printing press was developed in 1966, and it was the first in Taiwan to succeed in developing CI flexographic printing presses.The philosophy has been providing reliable and durable printing presses at the most cost-effective pricing. Our customers can be found in Taiwan, Japan, Russia, Middle-East, European, and American countries.Water-based ink contains little or no hazardous wastes. Hence, while maintaining and improving its tradition in gravure printing, Fu-Kuang has initiated a series of improvement plans for the quality, efficiency and user-friendliness of flexographic printing press.Through continuous improvement and craftsmanship, we work as a team to deliver quality products and services to our customers.

i like your what you sent me and i will tell my friends about
Madrid, Spain
I am the designer behind Chic Jewel Couture , my name is Melanie Falvey and I work from my studio in Spain most of the time. I am part British, part Spanish which gives me the chance of finding inspiration in both cultures.
I have been making jewellery since I can remember, it has always been part of my life, no matter what I was doing at the time (I have been a wedding and event designer and decorator, now just from time to time!) .
I am completely self-taught, I must admit it is an expensive way to learn! After many years learning and improving my jewellery making skills, it is really rewarding to see I can now make whatever comes to mind.
I get inspiration from my other passions: history, archaeology, architecture, travels, literature...Each and every piece is lovingly designed and then hand crafted in my studio, in Spain.
My first collection was created using only primitive techniques, I wanted to feel how the first jewellers might have solved difficulties in the making of their first pieces. I thought it was an honest approach, experimenting with very basic tools and techniques.
Archaeology is a huge source of inspiration, I love to create pieces set in various time periods.
I feel there´s something almost magical about jewels- they are born from a story, an inspiration and then after that they become impregnated with all the moments in which you wear them. I just hope my designs can lighten up a dull day for you or accompany you during the happiest moments of your life.
Each and every collection is hand made using the finest materials I find all over the world.
All my pieces have a story behind them, that is what makes them so special.

Office of Independent Education & Parental Choice
Opportunity Scholarship Program
The only program of its kind in the nation, the Opportunity Scholarship Program has been a part of Florida's A+ Education Plan since 1999. As originally implemented, the program offered students who attended or who were assigned to attend failing public schools the option to choose a higher performing public school or a participating private school.
On January 5, 2006, the Florida Supreme Court issued a ruling declaring the private school option of the Opportunity Scholarship Program unconstitutional. Students assigned to a failing school are no longer offered the opportunity to transfer and enroll in a participating private school. The option to attend a higher performing public school remains in effect.

Amanda Bynes' bizarre behavior continues with cryptic Instagram photos
Amanda Bynes is still alive.
The former actress and all-around bad driver emerged on Instagram last weekend, wearing a red turban, showcasing wicked-looking fingernails, and saying she's been away for several weeks because her phone was stolen and her fans should follow her there.
Then, of course, the weirdness began.
According to TMZ, Bynes then posted the same picture of herself (wearing a turban and sunglasses) three different times with three different captions, specifically "Bout to get my nails done," "What up doe" and "Love my turban."
No word on whether she was doing all this while driving.
She also shot a picture of her crotch area in skinny jeans with the line "Losing weight is hard."
Oh. OK.
After a bizarre year of DUIs, hit-and-run accidents, locking herself in store dressing rooms, smoking pot in public, and various other random acts of nuttiness, Bynes still faces a DUI charge, two charges of hit and run, and two charges of driving on a suspended license. She is due back in court on Thursday, Nov 29.

A round-up of recent discoveries in behavior research
Researchers discover a microbe living at -15°C, the coldest temperature ever reported for bacterial growth, giving hope to the search for life elsewhere in the cosmos.
The activity of one type of immune cell helps regrow the limbs of amputated salamanders.
Chilly weather could impede the immune reactions that most effectively contain viruses like the common cold.
Viruses that attack bacteria may be an important component of our gut microbiota.
A new class of immune cell could protect against type 1 diabetes by suppressing other immune cells.
A sequencing study suggests that some genes have evolved in parallel in humans and their canine companions, likely as a result of shared selection pressures.
The cost of DNA sequencing has gotten more expensive for the first time since records have been kept.
Some geneticists are skeptical of a project that will analyze the DNA of high-IQ individuals to identify genetic variants related to intelligence.
The NIH has required researchers to receive instruction about responsible conduct for more than 20 years, but misconduct is still on the rise.

Satisfaction Rating:
"Daikin Altherma"
We have had the Altherma in our property for 6 and half years. As reliable as our previous Valiant gas boiler - it never caused any problems to us, even the time during 2010 Scottish winter. More efficient, saves money on energy bills. We have had a very good experience with the system. Make sure that you will get a good installer who knows exactly how to design the system.
Location: Dallas, Texas USA
Satisfaction Rating:
"VRVS 3 & 4 ton system with 5 internal units."
Have 3 ton and 4 ton vrvs outside units. 5 internal units. In 4 years have spent over $5000 for repairs. I'm considering taking the whole system out and replacing it with a Trane or Lennox heat pump. System sound high tech, but it's not reliable in my case. I like it when it works.
Location: Central
Satisfaction Rating:
"Daikin Unit Very Over Rated"
After reading numerous reviews for daikin heat pumps , I decided to purchase one. The reviews were good for the most part. My Opinion is that they are grossly overpriced, and do not seem any different from the other brand names I priced (other than the ungodly looking daikin indoor unit). My recomendation to you if you are in the heat pump market is to find an installer you have confidence in, because if the unit is not installed properly, no matter what the brand name it will be nothing but problems.
Years owned: 1
Satisfaction Rating:
"daikin altherma air source heat pump"
The pump was intended for both domestic hot water and space heating. The system is designed to provide a maximum temp of 50 degrees C. Beyond that, a very expensive booster system kicks in. This is adequate for domestic hot water. It is totally inadequate to achieve a room temp of, say, 25 degrees C, especially with sub-zero temps outside. The whole system won't work adequately at outside temps of below, say minus 5. In addition, it can't be turned off, for example if you are leaving the house for, say, 4 weeks in the middle winter (or the compressor coil freezes!). I am extremely sorry I bought this unit.

Lites Main Event
After a quick intermission, the stage was set for the evening's main events. The small bore bikes ripped off the line, and rookie Blake Wharton grabbed the holeshot like a seasoned pro. Wharton, Nico Izzi, and Vince Friese went one, two, and three for the opening laps, and Austin Stroupe was racing hard to get the next position and a few more points. He and Friese, along with Steven Clarke, went for the same lines banging bars, and Stroupe would nudge Clarke in the turn after the second starting line crossover.
At the front of the pack, Blake Wharton made his name known to the St. Louis audience, riding flawlessly and pulling away from second place Izzi. Izzi would struggle with lappers in the waning laps, losing ground to Wharton, allowing Stroupe to close in. Izzi would mistime a vital area on the final lap, and Stroupe would go right past for second place.
Race leader Blake's brother, Tyler, would not be as lucky as the Geico Powersports/ Honda rider. Just before the last rhythm section, Tyler's bike slid away from him and he hit the deck. On the opposite side of the track, Friese would also bobble and fall just after the finish line, and would have issues refiring his CRF250. A lap later, Matt Lemoine hooked into a Tuff Block before the double dragon back, and he too would fall, but remount to stay in the top 10.
Back in the field, points leader Christophe Pourcel was buried deep and on a mission to minimize the damage of a bad finish. At the first third of the race, he was running near 15th place, and picked off enough riders by lap 11 to be in seventh. By the race's 15th lap, the Frenchman worked his way to fifth, which was only his second time off the podium all season.

7. | Totally Spies | ||
A French made cartoon that is trying to be Powerpuff Girls and anime so bad, that not even the ardiest of perverts can spank to it.
Features a Formulaic Episode structure. 1. Girl X has problem. 2. Girls get Mission. 3. Girl Y gets horribly mutilated 4. Villain exposes him/herself, usually with a mind control scheme. 5. Girls nearly get killed. 6. Girls find stop cat solution, and save the world (from some hackneyed Doomsday plot) 7. Girls go home, and Girl X comes up with a moral to solve her problem, but ends up humiliating herself. 8. You realize you wasted 22 minutes of your life. "... I missed Ed Edd and Eddy..."
"Well, if its any consolation, it'll come back on in two hours." "But that means sitting through Totally Spies! NOoooo!" |
1. | totally spies | ||
An awesome cartoon show with the hottest animated babes ever! When it comes on, my pants come off! (Lying on bed wacking off feverishly to Clover) Totally Spies is on, gotta go!
2. | totally spies | ||
a Cartoon Network show that is a bout spies that are girly girls they totally rock!Clover is a blond one sam is a red one and alex is a yellow.and there is a extra girl in some episodes named britney.her color is blue. Me:I love totally spies!Me:oh know clover is kidnapped!Friend:stop i hate alex and sam cant you watch something else.
3. | totally spies | ||
A show with three chicks; two are run-of-the-mill white valley girls and one is a black british exchange student? They work for this place called woohp?, which is ran by some pedo named jerry. They solve missions and yadi yadi yada. Yes, I've watched the show. The old episodes were awesome, but then the storyline got dry and old and it's now gay. Girl: Totally spies was totaly awesome when I was 8.
Boy: Keep watching those chicks, there's totally hot. |
4. | Totally spies | ||
3 rich lil white valley girls who save crime...yawn! And they got rid of G Gundam for this crap?! And you all thought *I* was the dumb one here...sheesh!
5. | totally spies | ||
With bad timing for sweat drops and other such anime-esque expressions, and a cast full of rich white girls who think saying "like totally" every 5 seconds makes them cool, Totally spies is probably the Crappiest wanna be anime ever made.
However the main female cast are hot enough to make you watch for a few minutes. "God, change the channel, that shitty show is on again.. Wait! Clover's on!"
6. | totally spies | ||
totally stupid. most retarded show ever. the only thing cartoon network has ever done wrong. made by guys, so why is it so gay?

TV 7: Teachers Chant "tax the Millionaires" While Marching in the Cold
In an area with a relative low per capita income, I don't know how many people are worried about whether NYSUT members continue to pay zero for health benefits, but since many people are related to a teacher there is probably some sympathy for them.
They were chanting "tax the millionaires", as if taxing the eight people in the county with that income will make much difference...You'd think educated people would be a little better with math.

How many of you marching slugs stood silently as my child was bullied & beaten daily in the warehousing known as public schools? Are among you the few who told me you knew what was going on & wished now that you had done something, anything, to help? The fire that is my anger has never banked. Don't come to me for sympathy or support. "tax the millionaires", what a bunch of sh*t when I struggle to make it week-to-week & a Watertown school teacher owns a welfare-rental property across the street.
I apologize to you, Mr. Graham, for my harshness. It is impossible for me to see these people as anything other than what they are: Parasites. - March 24, 2011 at 2:47 AM

Juston, Use some of these next time:

Anonymous: Why do teachers deserve the best? What about the taxpayers? Don't they deserve the best value for their tax dollar?
We spend somewhere north of $14,500 per student every year in the Watertown school district (where the median income is 32K).
We can't afford to pay them at that rate any longer. If teachers don't like it, they can (like the rest of us) change jobs and do something else. - March 24, 2011 at 6:38 AM
By reading Your post, I see You Juston, recieved a fine education. I doubt very much, a 2.7% decrease in the budget to schools, will effect future outcomes including Yours. Teachers are no better than anyone else and will have to suck it up along with the rest of Us.

Mayor, you're the one using fuzzy Math, because you keep talking about 7 Up-State Millionaires which is just politics pure and simple. The Millionaires Tax, State wide could generate added millions to off-set the need to cut education in Up-State New York. In any case, you talk about teacher's salaries, which are modest and behind public sector jobs by an average of 25 percent nationwide. You also attempt to lump teachers' salaries and benefits together as if they were also total salary. You like to say teachers on average make 100,000 dollars a year. A blatant falsehood you repeat on 'Hotline' all the time. You're a shill for the rich! It's an education issue, not an Up-State versus Down State issue. Go. Cuomo has to decide for Education, because the Democratic Parties main source of campaign support is generated from Union contributions. I think he'll do everything he can to limit cuts and to keep Republicans and Tea Party members from lying through their teeth about what's really at stake in education in NNY. We fight to keep necessary programs in place. We seek to make our children's education better so they can compete in the world of tomorrow. Obviously without your help Mayor Graham, we'll make sure NNY children get the education they deserve in our schools.
MCM - March 24, 2011 at 6:56 AM
The educational system in NYS is in need of financial reality.
Teachers and others that dedicate their lives to students are valued . But there are some who are less than what they should be .
Education is part of the answer for economic recovery but the principle engine of economic recovery is the sustainability of the private sector and the employment and goods and services IT produces , distributes and sells , generating tax revenue for the continued operation of the public sector ,
Without a STRONG private sector the public sector is compromised and that is where we are right now. Look at the various metrics in the Economy
We are OUT of Balance and need to re- generate a durable goods production sector of the economy SOON . Durable goods production has historically lead the way pout of recessions/ depression . If we fail, we probably face second tier status as a nation in a generation
BTW spent 3+ decades working in education , always paid approx a GRAND /yr or more of the cost for health insurance AND KNEW IT WAS A GOOD DEAL.
The public sector agencies in the Aid to Localities section of the NYS budget especially local eduction have historically been given a number of "soft landings" budgetarily and have NOT endured the level of cuts that those agencies in the State OPerations side of the NYS Budget have sustained over time .
This year alone the State OPs endured a 10 % cut whereas education statewide is projected to be cut 2.7 % by the Executive Budget

Juston....While I have a kid who needs all the help he can so he doesn't get left behind... I don't expect another person to foot the bill in NYC. Hell I feel bad now that the bill is split between everyone in Watertown.... Because it is. I don't pay all the cost in my taxs for my kid to go to school. You don't. The Mayor doesn't have kids and he pays. Some of these so called rich people don't have kids.
I don't see it as a problem to take a cut in these hard times....under 3%....Big deal.
Playing these class wars is total bull....The ad that's running right now on all the radio shows...Makes me sick.
$40,000 was spent on a sign in front of a Watertown school. Ask the teachers what it costs to have these ads on the air. Have to say it's more then 3% of a cut. - March 24, 2011 at 11:33 AM

For the past two decades, education spending has risen at twice the rate of inflation. Teacher salaries and benefits have risen at a faster rate than any other area of the economy, especially here in NNY. Staffs have increased. Class sizes have decreased. Media is in bed with the teacher union. All manner of schemes have been used to convince taxpayers that someone else is paying the bill, from "the state will pay" to STAR rebates from Mars or where ever they come from. Schools have pools, busses for every six kids, teacher aides for most all classes, artificial turf fields, in school TV studios, weather radars on the roof, all kinds of fun stuff. Teachers retire at 55 and work a schedule that equals half what real people work and take three months off a year. In response the taxpayer gets a drumbeat of bend over stories from a staff of inhalers from Mr Johnson's WDT and Scotty Atkinson's WWNY. Both have family on the payroll of the schools. No one will be laid off from a school. This is all about the annual lying campaign we are subjected to by the same ol' same ol'. It is very predictable. Did you expect something different this year?
- March 24, 2011 at 11:39 PM
Considering ones pay and benefits together is not "new math" Mikey. Try to keep up. Teachers are making $100k a year when considering the entire package. Again, it is you who is lying. Do a Google search and you will confirm. Have you been able to get that teaching job you are searching for? We are all rooting for you. I'm sure you'd bring all your personal integrity into the classroom with you. What an asset. Just think, next year it could be you on public square, railing against cuts that never happened.

Down State has always paid 2:00 in taxes to Albany, NY for every tax dollar they get back:
A popular misconception in 'Up-State NY' RAY is that Up-State ever footed the bill to run UP-State NY. The Mayor will agree, because he has already agreed with me, on the air about this issue of where Albany, NY sends our tax dollars. For every 2.00tax dollars NYC sends to Albanian they get one tax dollar back. Up-State, NY, has always been supported by down-state tax money. Ask the Mayor again Ray, can you people ever get it right?
MCM - March 25, 2011 at 7:29 AM
First Juston and friends. You know nada about me. I'm glad to say that I don't go to all the Basketball games during the week. I worked all day from sun up to sundown and I don't have anyomre time to give. I have paid taxs in some form another from 16 years old till now. I have never been near to being a Millon dollar in the bank person. People who are rich sure pay their share and employee several people in this state. How you going to feel when several people in NYS are told they don't have a job because their boss is closing up shop and moving to Florida? Why isn't Ms. Russell being zeroed out in this whole deal? She made some of the same votes to stop the new taxs. I don't say in any way to go after her... But why do you pick and choose? Maybe you need to read into the whole deal a little more? Maybe your beloved teachers need to pull the belt a little tight. I have already done so for years. I have to think you don't make millons in your work place. Do you?
Now I never posted that I'm for the teachers getting the shaft. I'm for everyone staying in their job and maybe taking the deal on the table. Keeping their summer homes... Their nice cars.... Their way of life. I sure want to keep mine. I'm not in the hate the teachers room.... I'm in the I love my job snd want to keep it. If some people want to keep theirs....maybe a cut isn't so bad? - March 25, 2011 at 11:59 AM

If it is about the kids why are teachers still getting raises. Why are they still paying zero for their health insurance? MCM teachers public school teachers make much more than teachers in the State system. Plus state teachers pay close to $4000/year for their family plan. Time for everyone to give back even the teachers.
- March 25, 2011 at 8:16 PM
As usual, you addressed none of the issues that matter Mikey. I really don't care if NYC wastes more money than we do. Waste is waste. What a confused individual. And all that education. Proof that it means nothing.

Go to that Outdoor Show. Good thing. Yous can wear your hat. - March 26, 2011 at 5:32 PM
First off, if you're going to use the term "upstate", please spell it correctly (not Up-State)...that just makes you look ignorant; even though I fully agree with you and your positions: NYC, LI & the Hudson Valley is without a doubt the economic engine of New York State! Deal with that fact people! Put aside your petty beefs with downstate and accept the FACT that we recieve more money than we put in. Now on to teachers: your average teacher in our area does enjoy a higher quality of life than the rest of us. I am not jealous, Lord knows I would not want to, nor could I deal with the idiotic kids of today. But that aside, teachers are being very disingenuous if they think they have it tough. I own my own business and employee three people. I work over fourteen hours a day, six days a week, 360 days per year. I never get the summers off and haven't been on a vacation with my family in almost five years. I would tell most teachers that I represent the majority, not the minority. Most people who live here work their tails off to pay the bills and save to send their kids to college! ENOUGH OF YOUR BITCHING!

Equipped with satellite Internet access, laptop computers, an instructor's podium, a screen and an outdoor projection unit, the Road Shows use state-of-the art technology to connect students with the information they need to research, pursue and succeed in their educational future beyond high school.
All students attending an accredited high school institution are eligible for Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) money. Students earn a KEES base award for each year they achieve at least a 2.5 grade point average (GPA) at a certified Kentucky high school. Students who earn at least one base award can also earn a bonus award for scoring 15 or higher on the ACT or 710 or higher on the SAT.
Students who qualified for the free or reduced lunch program during any year of high school may also earn bonus awards for scoring at least a three on any Advanced Placement (AP) exam or at least a five on International Baccalaureate (IB) exams.
Students may use their KEES awards at any public college or university in Kentucky, at most private colleges and universities in the state and at many of the state's trade schools.
If a major isn't offered in Kentucky, students may be able to use their KEES awards at out-of-state schools that offer that major and belong to the Academic Common Market.

Gitorious on Ubuntu 12.04 mini-HOWTO
Gitorious provides open source infrastructure for hosting open source projects that use Git. This mini-HOWTO will guide you though the installation procedure on Ubuntu 12.04.
Before start I will assume you have a clean Ubuntu Server 12.04 installed with minimal packages requirement. It is strongly recommend to install on a new host, as it will modify a lot of default settings ;-)
Install the base system
First of all you should install Ubuntu 12.04 with minimal packages, almost nothing else is required at the beginning.
After initial installation run the following command to upgrade your system as latest stable + some optional useful packages:
aptitude update && \ aptitude -y full-upgrade && \ tasksel install openssh-server && \ tasksel install server && \ tasksel install mail-server && \ aptitude -y install colordiff locate ntp pwgen rsync vim
Install packages
Let's clone the similar setup as DebianSqueezeInstallation:
aptitude -y install activemq apache2 apache2-threaded-dev apg aspell aspell-en build-essential geoip-bin git-core git-cvs git-doc git-svn imagemagick libapache2-mod-passenger libapache2-mod-xsendfile libaspell-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdbd-mysql-ruby libexpat1-dev libgeoip-dev libgeoip1 libmagick++-dev libmagick++4 libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev libonig-dev libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libreadline-dev libreadline5 libruby libsqlite3-dev libxslt1-dev libyaml-dev memcached mysql-client mysql-server openjdk-6-jre postfix ruby ruby-dev rubygems sphinxsearch sqlite3 unzip zip zlib1g zlib1g-dev
Fetch Gitorious
git clone git://gitorious.org/gitorious/mainline.git /var/www/gitorious cd /var/www/gitorious git submodule init git submodule update ln -s /var/www/gitorious/script/gitorious /usr/local/bin/gitorious
Install RubyGem
REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM=1 gem update --system gem install -b --no-ri --no-rdoc bundler cd /var/www/gitorious/ bundle pack --all bundle install --path vendor/cache
Initialize services
Refer to latest changes since 2012-11-01, we no longer use ultrasphinx and replace with thinking_sphinx, therefore create our own /var/www/gitorious/doc/templates/ubuntu/git-thinking_sphinx as below:
#! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: git-thinking_sphinx # Required-Start: mysql # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Thinking Sphinx daemon # Description: Starts the Thinking Sphinx daemons needed by Gitorious ### END INIT INFO # Author: Fabio Akita <email@example.com> GITORIOUS_HOME="/var/www/gitorious" RETVAL=0 START_CMD="cd $GITORIOUS_HOME && rake thinking_sphinx:start RAILS_ENV=production" STOP_CMD="cd $GITORIOUS_HOME && rake thinking_sphinx:stop RAILS_ENV=production" RESTART_CMD="cd $GITORIOUS_HOME && rake thinking_sphinx:restart RAILS_ENV=production" LOCK_FILE=/var/lock/git-thinking_sphinx PID_FILE=$GITORIOUS_HOME/db/sphinx/log/searchd.pid case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting git-thinking_sphinx" /bin/su - git -c "$START_CMD" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && echo "." || echo ": FAILURE (already running?)" ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping git-thinking_sphinx" /bin/su - git -c "$STOP_CMD" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && echo "." || echo ": FAILURE (maybe not runni ng?)" ;; restart) echo -n "Restarting git-thinking_sphinx" /bin/su - git -c "$RESTART_CMD" 1>/dev/null && echo "." || echo ": FAILURE" ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" RETVAL=1 esac exit $RETVAL
Now initialize Gitorious as below:
cd /var/www/gitorious/doc/templates/ubuntu chmod 755 git-thinking_sphinx git-poller ln -s /var/www/gitorious/doc/templates/ubuntu/git-thinking_sphinx /etc/init.d/git-thinking_sphinx ln -s /var/www/gitorious/doc/templates/ubuntu/git-poller /etc/init.d/git-poller ln -s /var/www/gitorious/doc/templates/ubuntu/gitorious-logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/gitorious update-rc.d git-thinking_sphinx defaults 99 00 update-rc.d git-poller defaults 99 00 ln -s /usr /opt/ruby-enterprise
Configure Apache2
Enable required modules:
a2enmod passenger rewrite ssl xsendfile /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/gitorious as below:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/gitorious/public ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/gitorious-error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/gitorious-access.log combined <IfModule mod_xsendfile.c> XSendFile on XSendFilePath /var/www/gitorious/tarballs </IfModule> </VirtualHost>
Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/gitorious-ssl as below:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost _default_:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/gitorious/public ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/gitorious-error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/gitorious-ssl_access.log combined SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 <IfModule mod_xsendfile.c> XSendFile on XSendFilePath /var/www/gitorious/tarballs </IfModule> </VirtualHost> </IfModule>
So let's restart Apache2 with new site setup:
a2dissite default a2dissite default-ssl a2ensite gitorious a2ensite gitorious-ssl /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Setup MySQL
Start the mysql command line client by running:
mysql -uroot -p <<-EOF DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS gitorious_production; CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS gitorious_production DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci; EOF
Configure ActiveMQ
Create new ActiveMQ instance:
cp -rfp /etc/activemq/instances-available/main /etc/activemq/instances-available/gitorious
Edit /etc/activemq/instances-available/gitorious/activemq.xml. Remove the predefined transportConnector and add a new one using the stomp protocol:
sed -i 's/<transportConnector name=.*/<transportConnector name="stomp" uri="stomp:\/\/127.0.0.1:61613"\/>/g' /etc/activemq/instances-available/gitorious/activemq.xml
Enable ActiveMQ instance:
cd /etc/activemq/instances-enabled ln -s ../instances-available/gitorious .
Restart ActiveMQ:
/etc/init.d/activemq restart
Configure Gitorious
Run the following:
cd /var/www/gitorious adduser --system --home /var/www/gitorious --no-create-home --group --shell /bin/bash git chown -R git:git /var/www/gitorious git submodule init git submodule update mkdir .ssh touch .ssh/authorized_keys chmod -R go-rwx .ssh mkdir tmp/pids repositories tarballs tarballs-work cp config/database.sample.yml config/database.yml cp config/gitorious.sample.yml config/gitorious.yml cp config/broker.yml.example config/broker.yml chown -R git:git /var/www/gitorious
Edit config/gitorious.yml: Remove every section but production
- gitorious_client_port should be 80
- gitorious_client_host should be your localhost for Apache2
- gitorious_host needs to be the exact hostname (e.g. gitorious.example.com) that clients will use (cookies get messed up otherwise)
- repository_base_path should be something like /var/www/gitorious/repositories
- archive_cache_dir should be something like /var/www/gitorious/tarballs
- archive_work_dir should be something like /var/www/gitorious/tarballs-work
- cookie_secret should generated by "apg -m 64"
- exception_notification_emails should be something like email@example.com
- disable_record_throttling should be true (optional, but RECOMMENED!)
- public_mode should be false (optional)
- enable_private_repositories should be true (optional)
- repos_and_projects_private_by_default should be true (optional, if most of your GIT are private)
- only_site_admins_can_create_projects should be true (optional, better for local team management)
- hide_http_clone_urls should be true (they require extra unknown setup to work)
- is_gitorious_dot_org should be false
- sender_email_address should be something "Gitorious <email@example.com>"
- gitorious_support_email should be something like email@example.com
Update your database connection for production in config/database.yml as below:
production: adapter: mysql database: gitorious_production username: root password: "your_secret_password" host: localhost encoding: utf8
Run the following:
cd /var/www/gitorious export RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:create bundle exec rake db:migrate bundle exec rake thinking_sphinx:configure bundle exec rake thinking_sphinx:index
Update contab by "crontab -e" as below:
sudo su - crontab -e * * * * * cd /var/www/gitorious && /usr/bin/bundle exec /usr/bin/rake thinking_sphinx:index RAILS_ENV=production >/dev/null 2>&1
Create a Admin User as User 'git':
env RAILS_ENV=production script/create_admin
Double check file permission for /var/www/gitorious:
chown -Rf git:git /var/www/gitorious
First of all reboot your system.
Now access your setup with browser, e.g. https://gitorious.example.com. Login and enjoy it ;-)
Assume you are using latest gitorious 2.2.x version, you can simply upgrade your installation as below:
export RAILS_ENV=production cd /var/www/gitorious git pull git submodule init git submodule update bundle pack --all bundle install --path vendor/cache rake assets:clear rake db:migrate chown -R git:git /var/www/gitorious
To keep it simple and stupid, just reboot your system and everything should now work fine; or you can execute the following command in order to restart all related services without reboot:
/etc/init.d/activemq restart /etc/init.d/apache2 restart /etc/init.d/git-poller restart /etc/init.d/git-thinking_sphinx restart /etc/init.d/memcached restart /etc/init.d/mysql restart

environment.rb vs boot.rb
I had the following error after modifying environment.rb:
$ bundle exec rake db:create
(in /var/www/gitorious)
rake aborted!
uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Mutex
/var/www/gitorious/Rakefile:10:in `require'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
My research turned up the following link:
It turns out the the following lines should be at the top of boot.rb instead of environment.rb (not also that 'config', is not in the second line as it is in the instructions above):
require 'thread'
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot')
MySQL password
You need to make sure that you the correct password in database.yml for rake db: commands to work.
great work
thanks a lot for this. i searched for days to find a tutorial which actually works. keep it up! cheers from austria!
Can't create a project
Thanks a lot for this. But I have an error when I create a new project. the browser turn, turn and ... turn but no project is created....
In conf/production.log I have this error :
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (Mysql::Error: lock wait timeout exceeded)
What is my problem ? Can you help me ? I search but I don't find a solution.
Good day
Access via subdirectory
Thanks for the tutorial. Everything works as expected, but I would like Gitorious to run at myserver.example.com/gitorious instead of myserver.example.com. That way I can serve other websites within other subdirectories. How can I go about doing this?
I tried modifying /etc/apache2/sites-available/gitorious so that the DocumentRoot is /var/www/ instead of /var/www/gitorious/public/. But then when I visit myserver.example.com/gitorious/public/ in a web browser, I get a listing of the files in that directory instead of the Gitorious application. Seems very strange to me. I also tried making an alias so that /gitorious/ points to /var/www/gitorious/public/, but that does the same thing (just lists the files).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Error CAfile
Wheu update submodules "git submodule init"
if you get this error:
error: server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none while accessing https://git.gitorious.org/buster/buster-core.git/info/refs
try: GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git submodule update --init
may be you need to delete /var/www/gitorious/public/javascripts/lib/buster-core
and retry
Hope this help someone!
Cannot login to gitorious
I just installed gitorious and as I login with my admin account, I get an error.
ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken in SessionsController#create ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken
The only difference I can see in my install is that I'm using passenger-3.0.13
Any ideas?
Thanks, Steve
Installing to a different location?
I'd like change the configuration so the gitorious URL is:
I've been playing with DocumentRoot and Alias in the Apache but
not got it to work yet.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks, Steve
Very good guide, all works
Very good guide, all works fine for me. Thank you !
Hi Guys,
Hi Guys,
when I set up gitorious with the newest Ubuntu 12.04 updates, I was not able to install it when I changed my config/environment.rb to "require(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'config', 'boot'))".
But when I left it without the 'config' all worked fine.
Maybe it could help somebody.
Has anyone gotten LDAP to work with Gitorious? I have tried various permutations of http://gitorious.org/gitorious/pages/LdapIntegration without success.
Great step-by-step howto
Congratulations on this article, very well documented and throughfull.
I found it while trying to restore my Gitorious setup after upgrading from 10.04 all the way into 12.04.
All is working now.
At last an article with instructions that worked!
Everything works fine but
bundle exec rake ultrasphinx:bootstrap
shows me an error! he does not know the target, anyone? tanks
I'm having the same problem.
I'm having the same problem. It's not getting installed. When I do the suggested "bundle exec rake --tasks" I don't see ultrasphinx as a possible task:
rake test:units # Run tests for unitsdb:test:prepare / Run the unit tests in test/unit
rake thinking_sphinx:configure # Generate the Sphinx configuration file using Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:index # Index data for Sphinx using Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:rebuild # Stop Sphinx (if it's running), rebuild the indexes, and start Sphinx
rake thinking_sphinx:reindex # Reindex Sphinx without regenerating the configuration file
rake thinking_sphinx:restart # Restart Sphinx
rake thinking_sphinx:running_start # Stop if running, then start a Sphinx searchd daemon using Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:start # Start a Sphinx searchd daemon using Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:stop # Stop Sphinx using Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake thinking_sphinx:version # Output the current Thinking Sphinx version

rake ts:stop # Stop Sphinx using Thinking Sphinx's settings
rake ts:version # Output the current Thinking Sphinx version
rake versioning:changelog # Show current and available Gitorious versions and details about individual versions
rake versioning:unreleased # List commits not versioned yet
I found this link:
I found this link:
Hey Graziano,
I just ran into this problem myself. The forums have a posting from Nov 1, where they mention that they've changed to use a common sphinx backend, and to now refer to thinking_sphinx instead of ultrasphinx. The posting can be found here:
Instead of calling:
bundle exec rake ultrasphinx:bootstrap
you should call:
bundle exec rake thinking_sphinx:configure
bundle exec rake thinking_sphinx:index
Hope that helps!
Liam Chasteen
Hi guys,
if I run
ps aux | grep git-poller
ps aux | grep git-thinkin_sphinx
I don't see anything. Where is the problem?
Help me.
Thank you

The Art Institute of Boston (AIB) at Lesley University — Celebrating 100 Years
Celebrating its 100th Anniversary, the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University was founded in 1912 as the School of Practical Art, one of the nation's first private studio schools. Renamed The Art Institute of Boston in 1967, AIB established itself as a non-profit and reflected the school's increased focus on fine art, design, illustration, and photography. Merged with Lesley University in 1998, today AIB offers two Master of Fine Arts programs, enrolls 500 students annually in Bachelor of Fine Arts Programs in Fine Art, Photography, Illustration, Animation, Art History, and Design, and conducts classes for high school students and adult learners.
In the coming year, construction will begin on a new home for AIB in Cambridge, adjacent to Lesley University's Porter Campus, bringing 100 years of tradition and year-round cultural events to Cambridge and the wider Lesley University community.

Aims, goals and how to get there
Since 2006, the Transition Movement has sought to bring about change by encouraging collective activity at a local level. But as the movement grows, how do we measure and recognise success in transition? As a community, do we all know and agree on our key aims? Most of all, how can we tell if we are achieving our goals in the most efficient way? More...
The conservation team that works on Lewes' Railway Land is soon to be rebranded and re-launched: for the time being, though, we are still the Meadow Minders, and we are looking for new volunteers.We clear brambles, maintain paths, plant trees and wildflowers, count slow worms, and maintain the reed beds. No special skills are needed, though it helps if you have a sense of humour, and like mud.
If you are interested in enhancing local biodiversity, or just fancy losing a bit of weight, do come along and join us – 1.30 p.m. on the first Sunday of every month, meeting at the big white gate at the end of Railway Lane.
Don't forget... every Friday morning at the Market Tower, Market Street, Lewes
It's bursting with fresh, seasonal, local produce and competitively priced. See you there!
Lewes Food Market is run by a not for profit, Community Interest Company: Lewes Local, which was set up by Transition Town Lewes Food Group.
Contact the coordinator (tel: 07824711727) or go via the Lewes Food Market website...
Wednesday mornings, 9.30am-12.30pm, Nevill
The Lewes Organic Allotment Project is a community allotment in Nevill which is also used as a demonstration site for workshops, composting instruction days, school trips, and more.

June 1-3, 2011
New York Law School, New York,
The Institute's summer 2011 conference will feature plenary sessions on engagement and assessment by educational leaders, and more than 50 workshops exploring techniques for engaging and assessing law students across the curriculum. During the conference, participants will encounter new ideas about ways to engage students in and out of class, to involve students in a range of experiential and simulated learning exercises, and to help students gain knowledge, skills, and values. Consistent with the recommendations of Educating Lawyers and Best Practices for Legal Education, participants will also learn about techniques to engage students in self-assessment and reflection and to conduct multiple sustainable formative and summative assessments, including collaborative assessments.
