Maintenance of Ruby 2.0.0 ended on February 24, 2016. Read more
Rake version 0.9.1 has a number of bug fixes and enhancments (see below for more details). Additionally, the internals have be slightly restructured and improved.
Rake 0.9.1 adds back the global DSL methods, but with deprecation messages. This allows Rake 0.9.1 to be used with older rakefiles with warning messages.
Rake is a build tool similar to the make program in many ways. But instead of cryptic make recipes, Rake uses standard Ruby code to declare tasks and dependencies. You have the full power of a modern scripting language built right into your build tool.
The easiest way to get and install rake is via RubyGems …
gem install rake (you may need root/admin privileges)
Otherwise, you can get it from the more traditional places:
As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes. The following people either contributed patches, made suggestions or made otherwise helpful comments. Thanks to …

FRR rearranges pit crew plans
Furniture Row Racing will field its own pit crew next season.
Article continues below ...
The single-car team had previously been using pit crews from other organizations, most recently a crew from Stewart-Haas Racing.
But Furniture Row general manager Joe Garone said Tuesday forming its own crew is critical to growing the team.
The crew will train out of Performance Instruction & Training under veteran pit crew coach Mike Houston. He was a front-tire carrier for Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Hendrick Motorsport and is a former college football player.
Furniture Row goes into next season with Kurt Busch as driver and Todd Berrier as crew chief.

5 Simple Outdoor Ideas from Livingetc
As always, Livingetc is full of chic and simple solutions. Their outdoor gallery has tons of great ideas for creating a simple, un-fussy outdoor room, but here are a few of our favorites (as pictured above):
• 1 Mixing and matching colorful outdoor pieces can create just the right feeling of effortless style. We like the green umbrella here, which blends nicely with the treetops without trying too hard to literally "camouflage."
• 2 If your outdoor space is small, with not quite enough room for a big lounge chair, consider having some durable waterproof cushions made to fashion a chair up against a garden wall. You can affix the "chair back" to the wall by hanging the fabric loops from hooks. Add a couple of throw pillows, a few potted plants, and you've got a nice little outdoor reading nook.
• 3 Feeling exotic? Why not stake a Middle Eastern-style tent in your lawn, using a length of cotton muslin and bamboo poles? Sure, it might be tough to clean (and isn't terribly practical for those of us in windier climes), but as a temporary fixture in the hottest months, we love it.
• 4 A big beanbag-style chair is an unexpected choice for outdoors, but we love the way it looks; in a container garden like this one, its low profile won't interfere with the potted plantings. This particular weather-resistant pouf is the Float by Paola Lenti.
• 5 If you're thinking about starting from scratch and creating a new hardscape or deck, consider something like this simple concrete bench. It should be easy for a concrete guy to install (just like a stair), and its sleek look could work very well in a spare, contemporary garden.
Check out Livingetc for more simple outdoor style inspiration.

The Exorcist & House of Wax (US - BD)
Matt checks out a couple of horror film classics from Warner Bros. on Blu-ray...
The Exorcist (1973)
Running Time: 122 minutes
MPAA Rating: R
Director: William Friedkin
Starring: Ellen Burstyn, Max Von Sydow, Lee J. Cobb, Kitty Winn, Jack Macgowran, Jason Miller, Linda Blair
Release Date: 8 October, 2013
The Exorcist tells the now-famous story of a girl's demonic possession, and a gripping fight between good and evil. Linda Blair, in a breakout role, plays Regan, a young girl who starts to exhibit strange, arcane behavior. Her mother (Ellen Burstyn, Oscar-winner for Best Actress Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore) calls upon a priest, Father Karras (Jason Miller) to investigate. But Karras, who has a spiritual crisis of his own, is suddenly confronted with the unimaginable evil of Regan's possession. Father Lankester Merrin (Max Von Sydow), an archeologist-priest, is called to help, and a horrific battle for her soul begins.
When The Exorcist was first released in 1973, viewers were frightened out of their wits--and literally out of their seats. Now Warner Bros. Home Entertainment celebrates the 40th anniversary of Academy Award winning director William Friedkin's suspense masterpiece that haunted and intrigued the world with a new Blu-ray release featuring both the original and extended director's cut with new special features and a specially edited excerpt from Friedkin's memoir, "The Friedkin Connection" which focuses on this horrifying film. A true cinema landmark, the theological thriller is one of the top ten box office performers of all-time (adjusted for inflation), and took 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and won two Oscars, for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Sound. Subsequently, the film went on to become a multi-million dollar franchise. Directed by Friedkin (Oscar-winner for The French Connection in 1971) and written by William Peter Blatty, the film is based on his best-selling novel, which sold nearly 13 million copies domestically and was the #1 book on the New York Times Best Seller List of 57 weeks, 17 of them at #1.
Regarding the Extended Director's Cut, Friedkin says, "After my initial cut, I took out 12 more minutes before we released it in theatres. Years later, Bill Blatty asked if I'd review some of that rejected footage (which he always felt should have remained) with an eye towards putting it back in a new version . In so doing I believe we strengthened the spiritual aspect of the film."
Celebrated for his directorial role in this seminal film, Friedkin is still very much in the limelight. His new book, "The Friedkin Connection: A Memoir", recently published by HarperCollins, extensively discusses the background and casting of The Exorcist. The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films will honor Friedkin this month with their Lifetime Achievement Award for his continually influential work in genre entertainment at this year's Saturn Awards. In August, Friedkin will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 70th Venice International Film Festival, where he will present the restored version of Warner Bros.' Sorcerer, and Friedkin and author Blatty will attend a special 40th Anniversary screening of their film at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. on October 30. The film will also have an exclusive theatrical engagement October 31 through November 7th at the AMC Georgetown. ( Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
The first two discs in this three-disc set are identical to those found in the previously released Blu-ray digibook, so if you already own that set you know what to expect here. Warner's 1080p, VC-1 encoded transfers for both the original version and the extended cut are quite excellent overall with fine detail with a nice layer of grain. Black levels are as dark and deep as you'd like them to be with sharp contrast and good color representation. There are a few instances of banding here and there and I did notice a few spots with crushed blacks, but other issues such as edge enhancement, macroblocking and aliasing aren't a problem. The source print used is in immaculate condition too, so there aren't many instances of dirt or debris popping up to distract you from the movie. Overall this is a pretty great transfer of the 40-year old film on Blu-ray.
The main audio option present on each is a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track in English, and while I wish that there were a mono option available the remixed track isn't bad at all. There aren't many sound effects that take advantage of the surround channels and for the most part everything stays fairly close to the center channel, but the music does play nicely over the stereo field and the LFE channel is given a few bumps to jolt you at the right moments. Dialogue is always clear as well, and I couldn't detect any anomalies in the track that would cause an issue. Like the video transfer, this is a well done audio option that's been presented on the Blu-ray release.
For the most part the special features included in the set are identical to what what previously released with the two-disc Blu-ray release of The Exorcist from a few years back, and in fact the first two discs in this set are the same discs that were previously released. The only new addition to the set is the third disc which includes two all-new featurettes:
- Beyond Comprehension: William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist - 40 years after his novel was published, The Exorcist author, screenwriter and producer returns to where it all began. First stop is a cabin/guest house in the hills of Encino, California, where Blatty wrote the novel. The author visits the place for the first time in 40 years and shares not only memories of writing the book, but also discusses how it inspired him. We then meet Blatty in two key and iconic locations; Georgetown University where the film was shot, and at the now-famous Exorcist steps. Throughout, Blatty reads from his novel, including an excerpt from a chilling newly published passage.
- Talk of the Devil - While at Georgetown University, William Peter Blatty heard about a true case of possession from Father Eugene Gallagher. At the time the film came out, the priest talked at length about exorcism, the true story and about Blatty; this footage is now available for the first time in many years. It is as revealing as it is shocking.
The remainder of the special features are hold overs from the previously released two-disc set:
- Two Commentaries by William Friedkin
- Commentary by William Peter Blatty
- Introduction by William Friedkin
- 1998 BBC Documentary The Fear of God: 25 Years of the Exorcist
- Raising Hell: Filming the Exorcist- Set footage produced and photographed by Owen Roizman, camera and makeup tests, and interviews with director William Friedkin, actress Linda Blair, author/screenwriter/producer William Peter Blatty and Owen Roizman.

House of Wax (1953)
Running Time: 90 minutes
Director: André deToth
Starring: Vincent Price, Frank Lovejoy, Phyllis Kirk and Charles Bronson (credited as Charles Buchinsky)
Release Date: 1 October, 2013
Professor Henry Jarrod is the owner and figure sculptor in a wax museum whose specialty is historic figures. When he and his business partner, Matthew Burke quarrel over the choice of exhibits displayed, Burke suggests it would be more profitable to burn down the museum in order to obtain the insurance money. As they fight, the museum burns and Jarrod is left for dead. It's not until much later at a new museum that the fate of Jarrod and the mystery of how the lifelike waxed figures are created becomes gruesomely evident.
In 1953, the film was the first color 3D feature released by a major studio. The huge hit also marked Vincent Price's first major starring horror role and changed the course of his career. Thanks to advanced technology and the expert work of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging (MPI), audiences will now be able to enjoy the classic mystery shocker as it was seen in theatres 60-years ago. Originally designed to lure audiences away from their TV sets, 3D utilized a "left-eye/right-eye" dual projection process and polarized glasses, the basis for what is seen today. MPI's work on House of Wax includes a 4K scan, and a full restoration of the two "eyes," as well as perfect 3D image alignment. House of Wax was a major box-office success when it was released in 1953. If adjusted to today's gross, it would have brought in more than $401 million, placing it among the top 100 highest grossing films ever. It no doubt paved the way for a 3D boom over the next several years during which 50 3D features and some two dozen shorts and cartoons were released.
The film was directed by André deToth, an unlikely choice to direct a 3D film as he was blind in one eye and unable to properly see the effects he created. Besides Price, House of Wax additionally features Frank Lovejoy, Phyllis Kirk, Carolyn Jones, Paul Picerni and a young actor named Charles Buchinsky, who would later become known to audiences worldwide as Charles Bronson. Screenplay is by Crane Wilbur. Brian Foy produced. The Warner library has the largest number of classic 3D titles (15) of any studio, and now that the technology has been perfected, the studio looks forward to re-introducing them to home audiences. The long-awaited, much requested release of House of Wax is the second classic 3D film the studio has released on Blu-ray, following last year's release of Dial M for Murder. ( Warner Bros. Home Entertainment))
I was holding off publishing this review until I had the opportunity to view the film in 3D, but that still hasn't occurred so you'll have to excuse me if I can't really comment on that aspect of the 1.37:1, AVC encoded, 1080p video transfer, but if I do get a chance in the near future I will update the review. As for the 2D version for the feature you likely won't be disappointed in what you get, but you aren't going to be exactly blown away either. The most strikingly beautiful aspect of the video transfer is just how lush and saturated the colors are and how everything pops off the screen even without the 3D effect. Blacks are generally very strong and there's plenty of fine detail everywhere in the picture, though the film's 3D filmmaking process does seep through with a few blurry and soft images from time to time. The source print also shows its age here and there, but overall things are in good shape, and I didn't notice much in the way of aliasing, banding and edge enhancement, though macroblocking does pop up every so little often.
The supplied DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 stereo track does a great job of emulating the stereo sound design of the picture with some effects sweeping across from left to right and back again with ease, though things do tend to stick around the center channel for the most part. Dialogue is always clear and crisp, and I didn't notice any defects that might take one out of the film. Overall this is a very good technical presentation of the feature film.
Warner Home Video has added some very nice features to the film for its Blu-ray debut, including a few news ones in addition to everything carried over from the previously released DVD.
- Audio Commentary with film historians David Del Valle and Constantine Nasr - a nice track that is a little on the dry side, but full of great information as to the making of the film, the director and the cast.
- House of Wax: Unlike Anything You've Seen Before - an all-new and very good 49-minute piece on the history behind the film, featuring such talents as Martin Scorsese, Wes Craven, Joe Dante and Rick Baker, who each discuss the film, its history and their own personal stories of experiencing it.
- Newsreel footage
- Trailer
- Mystery of the Wax Museum (standard definition) - the complete original film from 1933 starring Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray. Though I wish that it too was in high definition, I'm glad that was included just as before on DVD.

13 No one who is tempted should ever be confused and say that God is testing him. The One who created us is free from evil and can't be tempted, so He doesn't tempt anyone. 14-15 When a person is carried away with desire, lured by lust, and when desire becomes the focus and takes control, it gives birth to sin. When sin becomes fully grown, it produces death.
If you give in to temptation and desire, then sin is born. If you give in to sin long enough, it overpowers you and costs you your life.
16 My dearly loved brothers and sisters, don't be misled. 17 Every good gift bestowed, every perfect gift received comes to us from above, courtesy of the Father of lights. He is consistent. He won't change His mind or play tricks in the shadows. 18 We have a special role in His plan. He calls us to life by His message of truth so that we will show the rest of His creatures His goodness and love.

Wind for Schools Project Gains Traction in Pennsylvania
January 29, 2013
Pennsylvania is one area where the U.S. Department of Energy Wind Powering America Wind for Schools project is seeing big impact thanks to several projects including Northwestern High School, which installed a turbine to become Pennsylvania's first Wind for Schools project, and Mount Nittany Elementary School, which is in the final stages of receiving building permits to begin a wind turbine installation. The schools received a West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund grant, bringing total grant funding for the project to $16,000.
Read more about the Northwestern High School project.
Devised by NREL in 2006, the Wind for Schools project seeks to aid in the development of a wind energy workforce for the future by providing wind energy education and training at K-12 schools through the installation of small wind turbines while developing Wind Application Centers at higher education institution in 11 states.

You still have yet to demonstrate this with any proof besides the fact you have gotten waitlisted. preferred or whatever it may be it does not mean that the people who are still complete are either denied or waitlisted seeing as how if they were wouldn't they already have a decision in then instead of just holding their app at complete.
Dee, I think I know what is going on. Raheel wasn't very far off with her comments, but I think the game that GULC is playing is that either 1. They are waiting to see how many spaces they have after this week and then looking at our applications (which wouldn't make much sense because we applied EA first semester, therefore they already know our apps) or 2. they have already looked at our apps (which is most probable) and we seem like good candidates so they are holding our apps at "complete" till they figure out how many spots they have and hopefully give us good news. I honestly do not think that since we haven't heard back from them yet besides the fact that our apps are with adcom is a bad thing because if they were going to reject it, we would have gotten it a long time ago. Plus, i mean we applied EA first semester so there is no reason not to give us an answer earlier. If all these people are put on waitlists and preferred waitlist,the fact is we applied a lot earlier than them so we should have gotten an answer, but since we haven't and our status is set as "complete" and last updated since July 7th, I think we have a decent chance.

Actor Dennis Quaid has sold his equestrian estate in Pacific Palisades for $9.5 million.
The French country-style main house, built in 2004, sits on two acres with a second house, a studio, a barn, a corral and a year-round creek. A beam-ceilinged living room, formal dining room, family room, office, wine cellar, eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms are part of the 8,400-square-foot main house. Maids' quarters above the kitchen have been converted to a gym.
The second house and studio contain 2,158 square feet of living space. A covered loggia with a fireplace overlooks the swimming pool and spa.

After scorching the pop world with the multiplatinum success of 1999's Enema of the State, Blink-182's goal now is to make the planet safe for punk rock again with the June 12 release of its next album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
"We definitely knew we wanted the record to sound harder," says bassist Mark Hoppus. "We wanted it to sound a little more raw, not as polished as Enema of the State. We were listening to a lot of bands like Fugazi and Refused and all these bands that are super, super heavy, with heavy guitars, and a little groovier. Those are the kinds of songs we ended up writing for this record."
Hoppus says that while he and bandmates Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker found the massive success of Enema to be rewarding, they also worried that it cost Blink-182 a certain measure of street-level credibility that the trio had enjoyed up until that point.
"We were not liking how our band was being perceived as this mainstream pretty band or whatever," he says. "When I started seeing weird shit in stores like pencils and notepads and shit like that, I was like, 'Oh my God, what the hell is going on?' That was pretty much the wake-up call. Now it's really time to make sure people realize what Blink-182 really is."
That's why, in addition to deeper fare such as "Anthem Part Two" and "Stay Together For the Kids," Take Off Your Pants and Jacket — co-produced by the band and Jerry Finn — is also outfitted with hidden "joke songs," with titles like "When You Fucked Grandpa," "Mother's Day," and "Hump a Dog."
"They're all pretty bad," Hoppus notes. "But we welcome the trouble. We don't really care about stuff like that. It's more important to us that kids listen to it and have a good time. I'm not worried that people are upset because we say a few bad words on our CD. A joke isn't going to cause the world to fall apart."

Extreme Weather and Climate Change
2011 has been filled with wild weather and extreme climate across the U.S., including record heat and wildfires in Texas.
Devastating deluges, record floods and deadly heat waves have raised the question of whether there's a connection between these events and global warming.
The bottom line answer is yes: Heat waves are longer and hotter than they used to be and some regions are suffering from catastrophic drought. Heavy rains are more frequent and can be more intense and rainfall records have been smashed. These events fit a pattern that climate scientists have long expected to appear as the result of increased greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. That doesn't mean global warming is the only culprit: extreme weather was happening before global warming began. But there's general scientific agreement that global warming has contributed to a trend toward more intense extremes of heat and precipitation around the world, is partly to blame for specific extreme weather events over the last decade and will continue to influence both in the future.
The Northeast
A quick summary of 2011 weather highlights would read approximately like this: Devastating snowstorm, devastating snowstorm, blizzard, heat wave, heat wave, torrential rains, hurricane (more torrential rains), floods, hurricane remnants (even more torrential rains), worse floods, even more devastating snowstorm—and that only takes you through October. For more info, download our Northeast Fact Sheet.
The Southeast
People who live in the southeastern U.S. are no strangers to tornadoes, which tend to strike during the hot, humid days of spring and summer. But the outbreaks that struck in April and May of 2011 were especially numerous and deadly. For more info, download our Southeast Fact Sheet.
The Midwest
Spring 2011 brought some of the worst flooding in history, from the Upper Midwest to the Gulf of Mexico. Snowmelt and more than three times the normal spring rainfall in the Ohio Valley made rivers, including the Ohio, Missouri and the Mississippi overflow their banks along with many smaller tributaries. For more information on floods, snowstorms and heatwaves this year, check out our Midwest Fact Sheet.
The Southwest
Texans love to brag about how big their state is along with everything in it. Not so much this year, though, as record-breaking heat, drought and wildfires relentlessly pummeled Texans. The heat struck nearby Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico too, pushing all of the states' resources, along with their residents, to the brink of disaster—and in many cases, right over the edge. For more information, check out our Southwest Fact Sheet.

Research Highlights
February 2014
Adding Varoom to a Community Land Model
New study finds accurate parameters to rev up water and energy flux modeling
Water management decisions depend on precise information and finely honed predictions, especially in a world facing increased water impacts due to climate change. Scientists at PNNL are tackling these challenges through research to understand and portray how water moves through land systems under different environmental conditions. Enlarge Image. Photo courtesy of Dcrjsr, Creative Commons License.
Results: A high-performance engine requires constant work under the hood. Climate models are simulation machines with similar needs. Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory applied their sharpest calibration tools to improve water cycle representation in the Community Land Model. They developed a statistics-based approach to get the best estimates of climate model parameters. Applying this high-octane approach on water surface and runoff observations significantly improves simulating water and energy fluxes in the model under different climate and environmental conditions.
Why It Matters: Computational techniques are as critical to climate modeling as selecting the right tools to tune a Formula One racing car. As computational power increases, climate modeling researchers have developed tools to optimize and improve parameters—like the valves in an engine—in the models. The best model parameters yield model results that mimic actual climate observations. The tools generating those parameters help natural resource managers and policy makers to understand the implications of climate change. In this study, the researchers proved the viability of a statistical approach to improve model parameters. The new approach provides a better understanding of water and energy changes under a large group of climate conditions.
Methods: The research team, led by scientists at PNNL, developed an approach combining a stochastic inversion/calibration and Metropolis-Hasting sampling method that generates an effectively controlled series of random model parameter value choices until the optimal estimates are reached. The quality of these estimates depends on several factors that the researchers evaluated in this study, such as:
- How many observations are available
- How and where to pull initial guesses of model parameters
- How the observations are measured (day to day, or averaged monthly) to view the day-to-day variations or longer term averaged behavior
- How different the allowed new guesses are from the current guesses
- How the different kinds of observations are used for model improvement.
To increase computational efficiency, the team used PNNL's supercomputers to carry out the model calibrations along multiple lines simultaneously. Each chain consisted of a progression of initial guesses toward the true values of these model parameters.
Their analyses may be extended to a broader range of sites under different climate, hydrologic, and vegetation/soil conditions. The team's improved predictions coupled with the range of uncertainty for each will improve water management decision-making.
What's Next? Researchers will next tackle challenges of computational demand and the amount of observational data needed to improve regional and global climate models.
Sponsors: This research was supported by the Climate Science for a Sustainable Energy Future project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Biological and Environmental Research program through the Earth System Modeling Program. Additional support for the model configuration and data sets used in the numerical experiments was provided by the PNNL Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program's PNNL Platform for Regional Integrated Modeling and Analysis (PRIMA) Initiative.

DIY High-Style Chandeliers
An artful statement light fixture is often the single gorgeous element that pulls a room together. But high-design chandeliers and pendants can be prohibitively expensive, and so many talented folks have found ways to create versions of these stunners for less. Check out some favorites from around the web and from our own archives.
• 1 The steps for making this beautiful thread lamp remind us of third grade art class, but the result is so sophisticated and hip. The full tutorial, including photos, can be found on Pickles (and we spotted it on Bloesem).
• 2 Owner of the Brooklyn bar Abilene shared these instructions on Time Out for making a light fixture just like the one in the bar. We love the industrial look of this piece, and it sounds like a piece of cake to put together.
• 3 The Bubble Chandelier created by Jean Pelle for Readymade was a big hit all over the web, and with good reason. So elegant!
• 4 In a similar vein, Apartment Therapy reader Ed Winston created his own version of the $7000 Ilde Max chandelier out of Ikea lights. Check out the full story here.
• 5 Another reader, Jill Keto of Practical Chic, made a sleek lucite disc chandelier by updating an old thrift store find. Check out the instructions, along with a helpful video, here.
• 6 Lindsey Adelman's amazing DIY version of her iconic chandelier has made a big splash online (including here on Apartment Therapy). The one in the photo is the handiwork of Morgan from The Brick House.
• 7 Reader Kevin made a gorgeous tree branch chandelier from eucalyptus branches. Click here for the full post, including instructions.
• 8 Another take on the tree branch fixture involves an inexpensive paper lantern and some gorgeous arranging of natural materials. This comes from the home of musician Brittany Bosco, featured on Kneesees Pieces.

ICT training for Tech Girls
Tech Girls
عضو منذ ١٧ مارس، ٢٠١٤
- 6 مشاركة
Kplinyin is a community under kumbungu District in the Northern region of Ghana.
Children in Kplinyin Primary school faces a lot of challenges in learning at school but the most prominent one is the lack of a computer laboratory.
We the Tech Girls in the Kplinyin primary School have learnt a lot with regard to ICT training in the Savana Signatures project and have seen the need for ICT education for all children. Some of the programmes we have learnt are Microsoft word, Microsoft Excel and the use of the internet. It will be very important to have an ICT centre or laboratory in the school where all pupils can go and practice.

Thank you Brother Aidan. It's nice to know I am not the only one that feels this way.
all I know is that Orthodox "traditions" of financial stewardship are not part of Holy Tradition (and, it appears, in some cases actually a bit un-holy, and very often quite tacky). There is therefore no problem joining the 21st century and adopting commonly accepted accounting practices. Nor have the evangelicals (the historic ones that subscribe to FCCA; televangelists and personality cult fundamentalists are NOT evangelicals in the historic use of that word in american church history)and mainline protestants done such a poor job of it (stewardship) that we couldn't learn from them.
Weekly donations are read out loud to the entire congregation. ÂÂ
I like to give as much as I can, however, I don't do it for recognition, either way. I'm not there to impress anyone or to be judged (for not giving enough).  So, I'm on board with the anonymous giving.Second,  I've seen one practice in a Macedonian Orthodox Church, which in my mind was something I didn't like and worse than what you describe.  This Church has an event every year where they have an auction.  What are they auctioning?  Icons!Not for sale, but for rent!  Okay, to start with the Church is quite large and connected to it is an ENORMOUS banquet hall (actually there are two additional halls as well), however, this one hall, probably accomodated about 800-1000 people for an event.So, up comes "Joe Church helper" with an Icon of St. Nicholas and the bidding begins.  Starting at $125, do I have $150, what about $175, blah blah blah...  You get the idea.
Actually I have no problems with a specific allocated amount monthly for a priest to use as discretionary funds. Our pastor has used those funds immediately to put up a family whose apartment had a fire, to buy a meal for a homeless person who came to the church, etc. Discretionary funds should be limited and reported on after their spent ---the purpose of a true discretionary fund is to allow access to fund immediately without having to go to a parish Council meeting for approval.  Note discretionary does not mean non-accountable, our parish priest reports how he spent the money, it is then replenished to the amount set for him to have immediate access to  by the Council.In Christ,Thomas
MReally, what do church dues, perroghi sales, food festivals, raffles, and constant nickle and diming  have to with that passage in Acts?Not to mention secret discretionary funds ....Orthodox are not magically infused with immediate knowledge of how to do everything. We can learn from pagan accountants and the stewardship models of non-Orthodox Chrisitians. ÂÂ
Do you just try to be constantly confrontational?
Money is necessary, but we cannot serve both, and it's uncanny how all people, even hierarchs, can lose the balance from "necessary", to a complete drive of "how much".  Where  some churches (not all) are more concerned about planning festivals and galas, and not having the churches open for more frequent vesper services, or even to organize a religious lecture or two. ÂÂ
In one method there's a public "Hey look at me I'm putting lots of notes in the plate" to the other more quiet way of donating - though I don't know why it's the priest's business either who's giving what.
You can give money, quietly, and still have it tracked for tax purposes
When Sam Wysong retired as rector at St. Philip's Laurel, we were treated with a year of sermons on stewardship. I kid you not. No matter what the lessons, which feast, what season, the sermon was always stewardship. (Sam, incidentally, hated to do money sermons. As far as anyone knows he only did one, ever.)
Those sermons on stewardship... do you recall any biblical references, even if just general stories, such as 'the love of money', etc?
It was over fifteen years ago; it was more the fact of sermon after sermon than the specific content. I remember more things such as that he tended to pull the post-communion prayer for random places in the prayerbook. (There was one couple where one of them was in the vhoir, who were using hand signals to bet on where he would pull it. The loser bought lunch.)Oh-- and that it some fundamental way he is responsible for my marriage.
I can't believe you pass around a collection plate inside an Orthodox church!
They must be expecting some serious cash if it takes two of them to take it round!
Seriously I do think there's something wrong there, having the money in the church like that, Church should be just for spiritual things, putting your money in the box by the door is much more conducive to that I think, and it avoids embarassment for poor people, and temptation into pride for rich people.
Yeah  hehe!!

Newtown will need 3 new prinicpals
NEWTOWN -- This school district still mourning the deaths at the Sandy Hook Elementary School is confronted with additional challenges.
At the top of the list is hiring staff at Sandy Hook Elementary to replace some of the six educators killed Dec. 14, as well as beginning the process to hire new principals for two of the district's six other schools for 2013-14.
On Dec. 14, Sandy Hook Elementary Principal Dawn Hochsprung was killed when she confronted gunman Adam Lanza as he blasted his way into the school.
School psychologist Mary Sherloch was killed, as were first-grade teacher Vicki Soto, building substitute teacher Lauren Rousseau, and educational assistants Ann Marie Murphy and Rachel D'Avino.
Schools Superintendent Janet Robinson arranged for retired Sandy Hook Principal Donna Page to serve as the school's interim leader.
Page initially offered to assist with the immediate transition as the school reopened in the former Chalk Hill Middle School in Monroe, but Robinson recently said Page has agreed to work the remainder of the school year.
Robinson needs to find a permanent Sandy Hook principal and hire new principals for Reed Intermediate School and Newtown Middle School for the coming year.
Just before the 2012-13 school year started, Robinson hired Jay Smith to serve as an interim principal at Reed after then Principal Sharon Epple accepted a late-summer offer to be principal at an East Hartford school.
Smith had served as an interim principal at Newtown High School before current Principal Charles Dumais was hired in 2008.
Two weeks ago, Robinson was left with yet another principal position to fill when 14-year Newtown Middle School Principal Diane Sherlock announced she will retire this year.
At a recent school board meeting, board members opted against offering veteran teachers an early retirement package to cut next year's costs.
"At this time of great healing, we need that (educational) experience," board member Bill Hart noted.

CRESTVIEW � Earlier in life, Masuko Gartman created hundreds of paintings that appear in private and public collections in the U.S. and abroad, particularly Japan, Canada and France.
CRESTVIEW � Earlier in life, Masuko Gartman created hundreds of paintings that appear in private and public collections in the U.S. and abroad, particularly Japan, Canada and France.
These days, the 82-year-old, who can barely speak, lives at Carrington Manor in Crestview, where she uses a wheelchair and receives care for her declining health.
Masuko is one of 15 patients whom Sara Tyler, a registered nurse and Covenant Hospice case manager, visits per week. Tyler gives a head-to-toe assessment of each patient, verifies medication amounts, informs patients and their families about illnesses, and coordinates with physicians and pharmacies.
Covenant Hospice, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, continues its tradition of comforting some 6,000 terminally ill patients and their families in Florida and south Alabama.
"Our mission is to ensure our patients live as fully and comfortably as possible, accepting all patients, regardless of the ability to pay," its website states.
"We go to wherever the patients are; that includes nursing homes, homes and hospitals," Tyler said.
It's a mission that the Gartman family appreciates, having received Covenant's care before.
"They did a great deal for us before our son passed away," Billy Gartman, Masuko's husband, said. "Anything we needed, they were there for us � anytime.
"We didn't have to ask for anything ... It couldn't have gone any better.
Eddie, the couple's son, died from pancreatic cancer in 2005 at age 48.
"No words can express how I felt. It was like the end of the world," Billy, 81, said.
Masuko took the loss of their son the hardest.
"To be honest, I don't think she ever got over it," he said. "It could be part of the reason she is in here."
Earlier in life, Masuko honored Eddie's 20-plus years in the U.S. Navy with "Night Fighter," a painting displayed in the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Mississippi.
"She did some portraits, but seascapes seemed to be more of her liking," Billy said.
Generosity and philanthropy accompanied her artistry.
She donated a painting of waves crashing on a sand dune beach to Carrington Manor.
In addition, she frequently donated her artwork to the annual Cox Cablethon, which auctions items donated from local businesses to benefit Covenant Hospice.
"She would set up during the show and paint," Tyler said. "It would be marvelous just to see her sit there and create a masterpiece."
Masuko has been Tyler's patient for the past two weeks. In that time, the two have grown close.
"She always has a smile when I come to visit," Tyler said.
"It's very rewarding for me to help people in the community," she said. "It makes you feel good."

The case of Terri Schindler-Schiavo is a test for all of us.
It's not a test of whether we will kill cognitively disabled people by refusing them food and water. That's a test we've already failed, because it happens routinely throughout the country.
Rather, Terri's case is a test of whether we will wake up and realize that letting patients decide they want to be killed means that some patients will be killed against their will.
People often leave advance directives saying what treatment they do or do not want. But Terri had no such directive, and her parents and siblings say she never indicated she wanted to be dehydrated and starved to death. The problem, of course, is that if dying is a "right," then why take it away from those who forgot to tell us they want it? Should this "right" be exercised only by those well enough to express it?
For that matter, why should the right to escape a burdensome existence be limited to those with cognitive disabilities or other illnesses? What about the teenager whose life has suddenly become burdensome because he lost his girlfriend, failed his courses, and got thrown off the football team? In those cases, of course, if the student indicates a desire for death, we call the suicide hotlines. I guess we still need to catch up with ourselves.
One advocate for Terri's death, reacting to the re-insertion of her feeding tube, declared that it is "simply inhumane and barbaric to interrupt her death process." But Terri Schindler-Schiavo is not a dying patient. She simply doesn't function at the same level as the rest of us. There was no "death process" underway until her food and water were taken away. That's what is inhumane and barbaric. And this is a test for all of us, to see if we remember the difference.
While there are such things as worthless treatments, there is no such thing as a worthless life. Food and water, furthermore, constitute the most basic care. We don't come back from a meal saying we just got our latest "medical treatment."
Terri's parents and siblings are heroes. Were it not for their desire to care for Terri despite her limitations, she would have been killed without us ever hearing her name. The future of society is determined by the strength -- or weakness -- of the family, by its readiness to care or its willingness to kill.
Some have said that the government should stay out of this case, and that Governor Jeb Bush had no business ordering that Terri should be given food and water. But Jeb Bush is a hero, too. He understands that no public servant is permitted to turn his back on members of the public who are being mistreated. He, and many others, have passed the test this case puts before us.
It falls to us to do the same.
