eBay ChatterPosted Tuesday, January 15, 2008, at 2:12 PM
At the moment, I am not aware of a drop off store for selling your items on eBay in the Bedford County area, so I can make some quick remarks without offending anyone.
We considered doing so and may still, but we got into teaching because it is much better to do it yourself than to pay someone 20-40% to do it for you. That may sound high commission but to do it right, it takes time and effort.
As the owner of the item, you can reduce that time because you already know what it is you are selling and probably know its' best attributes. The store has to research it to determine what to say about it and what the "ballpark" price might be.
If all they do is throw it out there for $.99 and see where it goes, then they can do it cost effectively, but you may not get the best representation. That is what many of them do, so ASK before you consign your products.
If they do research, take the time to take good photos, write a good description, price carefully, have a good feedback score and make it easy for the buyers to purchase their product, they are earning their commission. There is more involved in completing the sale, but those are the basics.
I must confess that there is an additional reason that we do more teaching than consignment. I hate to tell someone that Grandma's priced vase is not worth what they expect. By doing some quick searches on eBay in "advanced search" they can find out what items are really selling for, not just the price people are asking.

The Program
URI's baccalaureate program is designed to prepare students with academic and personal potential to become professional nurses. It aims to develop mature, well-informed graduates who will meet the challenges of health care delivery and continued learning.
Nursing is a creative activity that provides human services for the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and care of the ill. It is interdependent with all other disciplines concerned with health. Nursing knowledge is viewed as a unique synthesis drawn from the humanities and the natural, biomedical, and social sciences. Students use a systems perspective as a conceptual base to nursing. This conceptual approach to nursing incorporates the whole person and his or her environment with the nursing process. Our nursing curriculum enhances students' ability to function professionally in community and home care settings with diverse populations.
Clinical practicums include experience in numerous community agencies, schools, nursing homes, ambulatory care facilities, and hospitals throughout Rhode Island.
There are three routes to admission to the college's baccalaureate program:
1) Freshmen Students with no previous college study are admitted to University College for Academic Success with a major in nursing. After completion of the foundation courses (NUR 100, BIO 121, 242, 244, CHM 103, 124, WRT 104 or 106) with a minimum grade of C or better in each course and 3.00 overall grade point average, students will be considered for admission to NUR 203 and transfer into the College of Nursing. Seats are limited and competitively granted based on GPA, which must be minimally a 3.00 for consideration. Please see the College of Nursing's Academic Policies for a full description of the entry process: web.uri.edu/nursing/files/academicpolicy2015.pdf
The usual time for completion of all requirements for students with no previous college or nursing study is eight semesters.
2) Transfer Students with college study in another major or nursing study in another baccalaureate program and a minimum of 45 completed credits, if accepted by the University, may be admitted directly into the College of Nursing. To enroll in clinical nursing courses, transfer students must acquire a URI-based grade point average of 3.00 or higher and 2.20 in the foundation courses. Admission to NUR 203 is competitive based on GPA, which must be minimally a 3.00. Grades from courses taken at the other institution are not included in the student's grade point average. Students who transfer from another college or university are admitted into clinical nursing courses on a space-available basis, usually in the spring semester.
Because the number of students accepted into clinical courses is limited, transfer students are advised to contact the assistant dean before applying for admission to be sure of placement in a specific course.
3) Registered Nurse Students can choose from two R.N.-B.S. programs: ON-CAMPUS or ONLINE.
A) R.N.–B.S. On–Campus Program: Admission requires students to complete a diploma or associate degree nursing program with a 2.6 GPA and have an active R.N. license. Students are required to take 18 credits of nursing courses as follows: NUR 246, 253, 346, 443, 444, and 446 or 503, (with permission of instructor). A total of 120 credits is required for R.N.s to earn the B.S. degree. Thirty of those credits must be earned at URI. All accepted R.N.-B.S. students will have individualized program plans created by the R.N.-B.S. coordinator.
R.N.-B.S. students must have and maintain an active Rhode Island nursing license and malpractice insurance in order to complete clinical courses. Once admitted, a criminal background check and up-to-date health records will be required.
B) R.N.-B.S ONLINE program: Admission requires students to complete a diploma or associate degree nursing program with a 2.4 GPA and have an active R.N. license. R.N.-B.S. ONLINE students are required to take 18 credits of nursing courses as follows: NUR 247, 253, 347, 443, 444, 447. A total of 120 credits is required for R.N.s to earn a B.S. degree. Thirty credits must be earned at URI.
R.N.-B.S. students must have and maintain an active nursing license.
R.N.-B.S. students with a baccalaureate or master's degree in another field, may be eligible for the M.S. program in nursing. Records will be individually evaluated to determine if the candidate must complete any undergraduate course work before starting the M.S. program.
All students in the College of Nursing meet all the general education requirements of the University.
Students are expected to achieve a C or better in all NUR courses and a C in all foundation and additional required courses. Foundation and additional required courses for the traditional four year BS degree include BIO 121, 242, 244, CHM 103, 124, MIC 201, NFS 207, STA 220 and WRT 104; courses for the RN-BS degree include (BIO 121, 242, 244, MIC 201, STA 220, WRT 104). All students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.20 in order to progress through and graduate from the College of Nursing. Students who receive a C- or lower in any two NUR courses will be dismissed from the College of Nursing.
If a student receives a C- or less in a single NUR course, s/he may petition, in writing, the Scholastic Standing Committee to retake the course. Permission to retake the course will be granted on a space-available basis only. Even if successfully repeated, the C- remains on record as the first unsuccessful attempt referred to in this dismissal policy. There are no further allowances for repeating a NUR course, and any subsequent NUR coursework of C- or below will result in dismissal. However, if the student should achieve a C- or less in two NUR courses in a single semester, s/he will be dismissed from the College of Nursing.
The faculty reserves the right to require withdrawal from the college of a student who gives evidence academically and/or personally of inability to carry out professional responsibility in nursing. Students are limited to 18 credits per semester except by permission of the dean for special program adjustments or when participating in the Honors Program.
General expenses are approximately the same as for other University students. Nursing students pay a professional fee which covers special items such as academic achievement testing, and lab fees for each clinical course. The use of an automobile or funds to meet public transportation costs is required for the clinical experiences. Students must maintain car insurance as required by state law.
The program is approved by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the Rhode Island Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education. The graduate is eligible for examination for professional licensure as a registered nurse (R.N.).
Students will be required to have criminal background checks in accordance with the law and with clinical and agency requirements. Updated health requirements and CPR certification are mandated throughout the clinical courses. Students will not be allowed in clinical courses without the completion of these requirements.

Part one of a seven-part series: A cigarette butt and a half-eaten plate of rice lie on the polished stone of what used to be known as the Camp Nathan Smith Memorial Square. The square, named after one of the first Canadians to die in this volatile country, was once a place of honour, where photos of some of the Canadian soldiers killed were displayed and Remembrance Day ceremonies were held.

It is somehow fitting that, in a week when Lance Armstrong was to confess his dopey cycling sins to Oprah Winfrey, another disgraced sports idol took to the airwaves for his own brand of mea culpa.

Splitting Rent and Groceries Made Easy for Roommates
You can find features like that on plenty of budgeting sites out there, though. What we think makes Buxfer so great is the ability to join groups and settle debts. That way your roommates or road trip buddies all know exactly how much they owe for gas—whether it's powering the stove or the car.
But if, say, your roommate buys the pizza one night and updates Buxfer, it will take half of the cost of that pizza off what he owes you for the utilities.
With more roommates and more expenses, things can get really slippery. But by using Buxfer, you make sure that you don't have to keep track of multiple debts. All money that you owe (or are owed) goes to a "group balance." It's tricky, but the site does a good job of explaining it:
Let's say Tom owes 40 dollars to Jane and Tom owes 10 dollars to Sarah. Jane, on the other hand, owes 20 dollars to Sarah. Now, if these folks decide to use a Buxfer group and consolidate their balances within the group, then the group balances will be as follows: Tom: -$50.00, since owes 50 dollars to the group Jane: +$20.00, since she receives 20 dollars from the group Sarah: +$30.00, since she receives 30 dollars from the group
Rest assured that the site is VeriSign secured and uses Google Gears to save your sensitive data offline. Find out more at Buxfer's Web site.

During 4-H Congress this year, the outdoor cookery competitions -- which included grilling pork, beef, chicken and turkey -- were held on N.C. State University's Court of North Carolina, right in the middle of main campus and just a stone's throw from the university's bell tower. All morning, the smells of barbecue rolled along Hillsborough Street.

Soulstice Theatre brings 'Blithe Spirit' to life
It's all jolly good to insist one shouldn't dwell in the past, but what's a chap to do when the past insists on dwelling with him?
That's the predicament confronting Charles Condomine in Noël Coward's "Blithe Spirit," a comic version of the contemporaneously published "Rebecca" that cuts like a diamond and is every bit as brilliant. It's now on stage in St. Francis, in a Soulstice Theatre production that opened Friday night under Char Manny's direction. »Read Full Article(1)

Softball and N.O.Tonkawa Trade Wins
The Beavers get first win of early season thanks to late double, playing Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa at Pratt with a final score of 8-3.
The Beavers and N.O. Tonkawa traded the lead four times on Feb. 27, but Pratt ended up on top in seven innings. The Beavers finally managed to grab the lead after a strong fifth inning. The Beavers went up for good on a three-run double by Summer Snyder scoring Cassie Kelly, Peyton Jones and Stephanie Seewer.
Kelly racked up four RBIs on two hits for the Beavers. She doubled in the fifth inning and homered in the sixth inning.
Fern Garcia got the win for the Beavers. She allowed three runs over seven innings. She struck out one, walked three and surrendered nine hits.
Northern Oklahoma scored one run in the first, followed it with one in the third and one in the fifth.
The fifth spelled defeat for Northern Oklahoma, as the Beavers grabbed the lead for good and got a strong finish from Garcia in the circle.
The Beavers dropped game two, losing 11-2 to N.O. Tonkawa despite Kelly's two-hit day at the dish.
Emily Wooldridge took the loss for The Beavers. She allowed 11 runs in five innings, walked nine and struck out none. N.O. Tonkawa never surrendered the lead after the first inning, scoring eight runs on a two-run double , a two-run error, and an RBI single.
The Beavers pushed across one run in both the first inning and the fifth. In the first, the Beavers scored on an RBI single by Kelly, scoring Kaci Copeland.
After pushing across one run in the bottom of the fifth, the Beavers faced a 9-2 deficit. An RBI single by Kelly set off the Beavers rally. N.O. Tonkawa induced Cara Johnson to fly out to close things out.
Pratt starts the pre-season 1-5. They will travel to Hutchinson on March 4 and again hit the road on March 5 at Dodge City to begin conference play.

Gotta say, I love the NextGen Gallery plugin. Relatively lightweight, fast, and so easy to incorporate into my pages.
Unfortunately, I have a couple upcoming projects that'll be coded/designed from scratch, i.e. no WordPress. Seems like all the PHP gallery scripts out there are ugly and/or filled with tons of features I have no need for. Can anyone recommend one similar to NGG - easy to integrate & customize, minimal distracting "extras", etc?

Rhode Island Might Get a Lot Less Artsy

Like most states, Rhode Island is in a budget crunch. One partial solution, proposed by legislators last week, is a cap on art for public buildings.
As the Providence Journal says, the proposal was spurred in part by a few high-profile, high-ticket items:
First there were the $84,000 neon lights on the side of the Rhode Island Convention Center.
Then there was the $100,000 recording of birds chirping outside the new Kent County Courthouse.
And who can forget the proposed $500,000 cloud machine that would have floated into the terminal at T.F. Green Airport years back?
Of course the argument against the proposed cap is pretty obvious -- public art is about civic pride, opening residents' minds to new ideas, etc.
But it's a little hard to argue that the state should continue funding art at the expense of, say, teacher salary raises or state trooper staffing.
Still -- cap or no cap -- can we please find some way to fund that cloud machine? How freaking cool would that be??

The Serbian Orthodox Church (Serbian: Српска православна црква / Srpska pravoslavna crkva) is one of the autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Christian churches. It is the second oldest Slavic Orthodox Church in the world (after the Bulgarian Orthodox Church).[3]
The Serbian Orthodox Church comprises the majority of population in Serbia, Montenegro, and the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is organized into metropolises and eparchies located primarily in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia, but also all over the world where Serb diaspora lives.
The Serbian Orthodox Church is an autocephalous, or ecclesiastically independent, member of the Orthodox communion. Serbian Patriarch serves as first among equals in his church; the current patriarch is Irinej. The Church achieved autocephalous status in 1219 under the leadership of St. Sava, becoming independent Archbishopric of Žiča. Its status was elevated to that of a patriarchate in the 14th century, and was known afterwards as the Patriarchate of Peć. This patriarchate was abolished by the Ottoman Turks in the 18th century. The modern Serbian Orthodox Church was re-established in 1920 after the unification of the Patriarchate of Karlovci, the Metropolitanate of Belgrade and the Metropolitanate of Montenegro.

Roman and Byzantine Christianity[edit]
Christianity spread to the Balkans beginning in the 1st century. Florus and Laurus are venerated as Christian martyrs of the 2nd century; they were murdered along with 300 Christians in Lipljan. Constantine the Great (306-337), born in Niš, was the first Christian Roman Emperor. In 380, Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius decreed that his subjects would be Christians according to the First Council of Nicea formula. Greek was used in the Byzantine church, while the Roman church used Latin. With the definite split in 395, the line in Europe ran south along the Drina river. Tim Judah says that the Roman split resulted in that Serbs are Orthodox and the Croats Catholic.[4] Among old Christian heritage is the Archbishopric of Justiniana Prima. It had the whole of present-day Serbia under its jurisdiction, and was formed in 535 AD. However, the Archbishopric did not last, as the Slavs and Avars destroyed the region sometime after 602, when the last mention is made of it. In 731[5] Leo III attached Illyricum and Southern Italy (Sicily and Calabria) to Patriarch Anastasius of Constantinople, transferring the papal authority to the Eastern Church.[6]
Christianization of the Serbs[edit]
According to Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Serbs were Christianized by "elders of Rome"[clarification needed] during the reign of Emperor Heraclius (r. 610–641).[7][8] This would have taken place during the Byzantine Papacy (Greek popes during the years 678–752). During the rule of Constans II (641–668), Serbs (Slavs) were resettled in Asia Minor (in ca 649[9] or 667[10]) from the areas "around the river Vardar" to the city of Gordoservon (Serb habitat). Isidore, the "Bishop of Gordoservon" is mentioned in 680, the fact that it was an episcopal seat gives ground to the thesis that it had a large Serbian population.[11][12]
The establishment of Christianity as state religion dates to the time of Prince Mutimir and Byzantine Emperor Basil I (r. 867–886),[13][14] who, after managing to put the Serbs under his nominal rule, sent priests together with admiral Niketas Ooryphas, before the operations against the Saracens in 868 to defend the town of Ragusa).[15] The Christianization was due partly to Byzantine and subsequent Bulgarian influence.[13] At least during the rule of Kotsel of Pannonia (861–874), communications between Serbia and Great Moravia must have been possible.[13] This fact, the pope was presumably aware of, when planning Methodios' diocese as well as the Dalmatian coast, which was in Byzantine hands as far north as Split.[13] There is a possibility that some Cyrillomethodian pupils reached Serbia in the 870s, perhaps even sent by Methodius himself.[13] Serbia was accounted Christian as of about 870.[13]
The first Serbian bishopric was founded at the political center at Ras, near modern Novi Pazar on the Ibar river.[13] The initial affiliation is uncertain; it may have been under the subordination of either Split or Durazzo, both then Byzantine.[13] The early church of Saint Apostles Peter and Paul at Ras can be dated to the 9th–10th century, with the rotunda plan characteristic of first court chapels.[16] The bishopric was established shortly after 871, during the rule of Mutimir, and was part of the general plan of establishing bishoprics in the Slav lands of the empire, confirmed by the Council of Constantinople in 879–880.[16][17] The seal of Strojimir (died between 880 and 896), the brother of Mutimir, was bought by the Serbian state in an auction in Germany. The seal has a Patriarchal cross in the center and Greek inscriptions that say: "God, help Strojimir (CTPOHMIP)".[18][19] Petar Gojniković (r. 892–917) was evidently a Christian prince.[13] Christianity presumably was spreading in his time;[20] also since Serbia bordered Bulgaria, Christian influences and perhaps missionaries came from there.[20] That would increase in the twenty-year peace.[21] The previous generation (Mutimir, Strojimir and Gojnik) had Slav names, the following (Petar, Stefan, Pavle, Zaharija) has Christian names, a notice of strong Byzantine missions to Serbia, as well as to the Slavs of the Adriatic coast, in the 870s.[13] The Bulgarian annexation of Serbia in 924 was important for the future direction of the Serbian church.[16] By then, at latest, Serbia must have received the Cyrillic alphabet and Slavic religious text, already familiar but perhaps not yet preferred to Greek.[16]
Archbishopric of Ohrid (1018–1219)[edit]
In 1018–19, the Archbishopric of Ohrid was formed when the Byzantines conquered the First Bulgarian Empire. Greek replaced Slavic.[15] Serbia was ecclesiastically administered into several dioceses: the Diocese of Ras, mentioned in the first charter of Basil II (r. 976–1025), became part of the Ohrid archbishopric and encompassed the areas of southern Serbia, by the rivers Raška, Ibar and Lim, evident in the second charter of Basil II . Among the first bishops were Leontius (fl. 1123-1126), Cyril (fl. 1141–1143), Euthemius (fl. 1170) and Kalinik (fl. 1196). It joined the autocephalous Archbishopric of Žiča in 1219, at the time of Saint Sava.[17]
In the chrysobulls of Basil II dated to 1020, the Ras bishopric is mentioned as serving the whole of Serbia, with the seat at the Church of Saint Apostles Peter and Paul.[22][better source needed][23]
The 10th- or 11th-century Gospel Book Codex Marianus, written in Old Church Slavonic in the Glagolithic script, is one of the oldest known Slavic manuscripts and was partly written in the Old Serbian-redaction.[24] Other early manuscripts include 11th-century Grškovićev odlomak Apostola and Mihanovićev odlomak.
Autocephalous Serbian Archbishopric (1219-1346)[edit]
|This section may be too long and excessively detailed. (February 2015)
In the autumn of 1192 (or shortly thereafter),[25] Rastko Nemanjić, the former Grand Prince of Hum under his father Stefan Nemanja, joined Russian monk, giving alms to the St. Panteleimon monastery of Mount Athos, where he was given the monastic name of Sava (Sabbas). They did not stay long, leaving for the Greek Vatopedi.[25][26] His father later joined him, coming to Mount Athos on March 25, 1195, and taking monastic vows under the name Simeon. Father and son asked of the Holy Community that the Serbian religious centre be founded at the abandoned site of Hilandar, which they renovated, marking the beginning of a renaissance (in arts, literature and religion). Sava's father died at Hilandar on February 13, 1199, and was canonised as Saint Simeon.[26] Sava built a church and cell at Karyes, where he stayed for some years, becoming a Hieromonk, then an Archimandrite in 1201. He wrote the Karyes Typicon during his stay there, and a marble inscription of his work still exists.[26]
He returned to Serbia in 1207, taking with him the remains of his father, which he interred at the Studenica monastery, after reconciling Stefan II with Vukan, who had earlier been involved in a succession feud (civil war). Stefan II asked him to remain in Serbia with his clerics, which he did, providing widespread pastoral care and education to the people of Serbia. He founded several churches and monasteries, among them the Žiča monastery.[26] Sava brought the regal crown from Rome, crowning his older brother "King of All Serbia" in the Žiča monastery in 1217.[27]
Sava returned to the Holy Mountain in 1217/18, marking the beginning of the real formation of the Serbian Church. He was consecrated in 1219 as the first Archbishop of the Serbian church, and was given autocephaly by Patriarch Manuel I of Constantinople, who was then in exile at Nicaea. In the same year Sava published Zakonopravilo (St. Sava's Nomocanon). Thus the Serbs acquired both forms of independence: political and religious.[26] After this, in Serbia, he stayed in Studenica and continued to educate the Serbian people in their faith, and later he called for a council outlawing the Bogomils, who were regarded heretics.[26] Sava appointed protobishops, sending them over all of Serbia to conduct baptisms, marriages etc.. To maintain his standing as the religious and social leader, he continued to travel among the monasteries and lands to educate the people.[26] In 1221 a synod was held in the Žiča monastery, condemning Bogomilism.[28]
The following seats were newly created in the time of Saint Sava:
- Žiča, the seat of the Archbishop at Monastery of Žiča;
- Eparchy of Zeta (Zetska), seated at Monastery of Holy Archangel Michael in Prevlaka near Kotor in Zeta region;
- Eparchy of Hum (Humska), seated at Monastery of the Holy Mother of God in Ston, in Hum region;
- Eparchy of Dabar (Dabarska), seated at Monastery of St. Nicholas in Dabar region;
- Eparchy of Moravica (Moravička), seated at Monastery of St. Achillius in Moravica region;
- Eparchy of Budimlja (Budimljanska), seated at Monastery of St. George in Budimlja region;
- Eparchy of Toplica (Toplička), seated at Monastery of St. Nicholas in Toplica region;
- Eparchy of Hvosno (Hvostanska), seated at Monastery of the Holy Mother of God in Hvosno region (northern Metohija).
Older eparchies under the jurisdiction of Serbian Archbishop were:
- Eparchy of Ras (Raška), seated at Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul near Ras in Raška region;
- Eparchy of Lipljan (Lipljanska), seated at Lipljan in Kosovo region;
- Eparchy of Prizren (Prizrenska), seated at Prizren in the south of Metohija region.
In 1229/1233, Saint Sava went on a pilgrimage to Palestine and in Jerusalem he met with Patriarch Athanasios II. Sava saw Bethlehem where Jesus was born, the Jordan River where Christ was baptised, and the Great Lavra of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified (Mar Saba monastery). Sava asked Athanasios II, his host, and the Great Lavra fraternity, led by hegoumenos Nicolas, if he could purchase two monasteries in the Holy Land. His request was accepted and he was offered the monasteries of Saint John the Theologian on Mount Sion and St. George's Monastery on Akona, both to be inhabited by Serbian monks. The icon Trojerucica (Three-handed Theotokos), a gift to the Great Lavra from St. John Damascene, was given to Sava and he, in turn, bequeathed it to Hilandar.
Sava died in Trnovo, capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, during the reign of Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria. According to his Life, he fell ill following the Divine Liturgy on the Feast of the Epiphany, 12 January 1235. Sava was visiting Trnovo on his way back from the Holy Land, where he had founded a hospice for Syrian pilgrims in Jerusalem and arranged for Serbian monks to be welcomed in the established monasteries there. He died of pneumonia in the night between Saturday and Sunday, January 14, 1235, and was buried at the Cathedral of the Holy Forty Martyrs in Trnovo where his body remained until May 6, 1237, when his sacred bones were moved to the monastery Mileševa in southern Serbia.
In 1253 the see was transferred to the Monastery of Peć by archbishop Arsenije.[29] The Serbian primates had since moved between the two.[30] Sometime between 1276-1292 the Cumans burned the Žiča monastery, and King Stefan Milutin renovated it in 1292-1309, during the office of Jevstatije II.[29] In 1289-1290, the chief treasures of the ruined monastery, including the remains of Saint Jevstatije I, were transferred to Peć.[31]
Medieval Serbian Patriarchate of Peć (1346-1463)[edit]
The status of the Serbian Orthodox Church grew along with the expansion and heightened prestige of the medieval Kingdom of Serbia (medieval). After King Stefan Dušan assumed the imperial title of tsar, the Serbian Archbishopric was correspondingly raised to the rank of Patriarchate in 1346.[17] In the century that followed, the Serbian Church achieved its greatest power and prestige. In the 14th century Serbian Orthodox clergy had the title of Protos at Mount Athos.
On April 16, 1346 (Easter), Stephen Uroš IV Dušan of Serbia convoked a grand assembly at Skopje, attended by the Serbian Archbishop Joanikije II, the Archbishop Nicholas I of Ohrid, the Patriarch Simeon of Bulgaria and various religious leaders of Mount Athos.[32] The assembly and clerics agreed on, and then ceremonially performed the raising of the autocephalous Serbian Archbishopric to the status of Patriarchate.[33] The Archbishop from now on is titled Serbian Patriarch, although some documents called him Patriarch of Serbs and Greeks, with the seat at the monastery of Peć.[33] The new Patriarch Joanikije II now solemnly crowned Stefan Dušan as "Emperor and autocrat of Serbs and Romans" (Greek Bασιλεὺς καὶ αὐτoκράτωρ Σερβίας καὶ Pωμανίας).[33] The status of Patriarchate resulted in raising bishoprics to metropolitans, as for example the Metropolitanate of Skopje.[34]
The Patriarchate took over sovereignty on Mt. Athos and the Greek archbishoprics under the rule of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (The Ohrid Archbishopric remained autocephalous). For those acts he was excommunicated by the Patriarch Callistus I of Constantinople in 1350.[34]
Renewed Serbian Patriarchate of Peć (1557-1766)[edit]
The Ottoman Empire finally conquered Serbian Despotate in 1459, Bosnian Kingdom in 1463, Herzegovina in 1482 and Montenegro in 1499. All of the conquered lands were divided in sanjaks. Although some Serbs converted to Islam, most continued their adherence to the Serbian Orthodox Church. The Church itself continued in existence throughout the Ottoman period, though not without some disruption. After the death of Serbian Patriarch Arsenije II in 1463, a successor was not elected. The Patriarchate was thus de facto abolished, and the Serbian Church passed under the jurisdiction of Archbishopric of Ohrid and ultimately the Ecumenical Patriarchate which exercised jurisdiction over all Orthodox of the Ottoman Empire under the millet system.
After the failed attempt by Pavle, Archbishop of Peć around 1530-1540, the Serbian Patriarchate was finally restored in 1557 under the Sultan Suleiman II, thanks to the mediation of pasha Mehmed Sokolović who was Serbian by birth. His cousin, one of the Serbian Orthodox bishops Makarije Sokolović was elected Patriarch in Peć. The restoration of the Patriarchate was of great importance for the Serbs because it helped the spiritual unification of all Serbs in the Ottoman Empire. The Patriarchate of Peć also included some dioceses in western Bulgaria.[35] Its Archbishop was titled Archbishop of Peć and Serbian Patriarch, although some documents called him Archbishop of Peć and Patriarch of all Serbs and Bulgarians. [36] In the time of Serbian Patriarch Jovan Kantul (1592-1614), the Ottoman Turks took the remains of Saint Sava from monastery Mileševa to the Vračar hill in Belgrade where they were burned by Sinan Pasha on a stake to intimidate the Serb people in case of revolts (see Banat Uprising) (1594). The Temple of Saint Sava was built on the place where his remains were burned.[1]
After consequent Serbian uprisings against the Turkish occupiers in which the Church had a leading role, the Ottomans abolished the Patriarchate once again in 1766. The Church returned once more under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. This period of rule by the so-called "Phanariots" was a period of great spiritual decline[citation needed] because the Greek bishops had very little understanding of their Serbian flock.
Serbian Orthodox Church in Habsburg Monarchy[edit]
During this period, many Christians across the Balkans converted to Islam to avoid severe taxes imposed by the Turks in retaliation for uprisings and continued resistance. Many Serbs migrated with their hierarchs to Habsburg Monarchy where they had been granted autonomy. The seat of the archbishops was moved from Peć to Karlovci. The new Serbian Metropolitanate of Karlovci would become a patriarchate in 1848.
Serbian Church in Modern History[edit]
The church's close association with Serbian resistance to Ottoman rule led to Eastern Orthodoxy becoming inextricably linked with Serbian national identity and the new Serbian monarchy that emerged from 1817 onwards. The Serbian Orthodox Church in Serbia finally regained its independence and became autocephalous in 1879,[37] the year after the recognition by the Great Powers of Serbia as an independent state. This church was known as the Metropolitanate of Belgrade, thus in the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, two separate Serbian Churches existed – the Patriarchate of Karlovci in the Habsburg Monarchy and the Metropolitanate of Belgrade in the Kingdom of Serbia. The Cetinje Metropolitanate of the Kingdom of Montenegro preserved traditions of the Serbian Patriarchate, its metropolitans (vladika) were titled "Exarchs of the Peć Throne"
After World War I all the Orthodox Serbs were united under one ecclesiastical authority, and two Serbian churches were united into the single Serbian Patriarchate in 1920 with the election of Serbian Patriarch Dimitrije. It gained great political and social influence in the inter-war Kingdom of Yugoslavia, during which time it successfully campaigned against the Yugoslav government's intentions of signing a concordat with the Holy See.
During the Second World War the Serbian Orthodox Church suffered severely from persecutions by the occupying powers and the rabidly anti-Serbian Ustaše regime of Independent State of Croatia, which sought to create a "Croatian Orthodox Church" which Orthodox Serbs were forced to join. Many Serbs were killed during the war; bishops and priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church were singled out for persecution, and many Orthodox churches were damaged or destroyed.
After the war the Church was suppressed by the communist government of Josip Broz Tito, which viewed it with suspicion due to the Church's links with the exiled Serbian monarchy and the nationalist Chetnik movement. Along with other ecclesiastical institutions of all denominations, the Church was subject to strict controls by the Yugoslav state, which prohibited the teaching of religion in schools, confiscated Church property and discouraged religious activity among the population.
The gradual demise of Yugoslav communism and the rise of rival nationalist movements during the 1980s also led to a marked religious revival throughout Yugoslavia, not least in Serbia. The Serbian Patriarch Pavle, supported the opposition to Slobodan Milošević in the 1990s.
The Macedonian Orthodox Church was created in 1967, effectively as an offshoot of the Serbian Orthodox Church in what was then the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, as part of the Yugoslav drive to build up a Macedonian national identity.[citation needed] This was strongly resisted by the Serbian Church, which does not recognize the independence of its Macedonian counterpart. Campaigns for an independent Montenegrin Orthodox Church have also gained ground in recent years.[citation needed]
The Yugoslav wars gravely impacted several branches of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Many Serbian Orthodox Church clergy supported the war, while others were against it.[citation needed]
Many churches in Croatia were damaged or destroyed during the Croatian War (1991–95). The bishops and priests and most faithful of the eparchies of Zagreb, of Karlovac, of Slavonia and of Dalmatia became refugees. The latter three were almost completely abandoned after the exodus of the Serbs from Croatia in 1995 (Operation Storm). The eparchy of Dalmatia also had its see temporarily moved to Knin after the Republic of Serbian Krajina was established. The eparchy of Slavonia had its see moved from Pakrac to Daruvar. After Operation Storm, two monasteries were particularly damaged, the Krupa monastery built in 1317, and the Krka monastery built in 1345.
The eparchies of Bihać and Petrovac, Dabar-Bosnia and Zvornik and Tuzla were also dislocated due to the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The eparchy see of Dabar-Bosnia was temporarily moved to Sokolac, and the see of Zvornik-Tuzla to Bijeljina. Over a hundred Church-owned objects in the Zvornik-Tuzla eparchy were destroyed or damaged during the war[citation needed]. Many monasteries and churches in the Zahumlje eparchy were also destroyed[citation needed]. Numerous faithful from these eparchies also became refugees.[citation needed]
By 1998 the situation had stabilized in both countries. Most of the property of the Serbian Orthodox Church was returned to normal use, the bishops and priests returned, and that which was destroyed, damaged or vandalized was restored. The process of rebuilding several churches is still under way, notably the cathedral of the Eparchy of Upper Karlovac in Karlovac. The return of the Serbian Orthodox Church faithful also started, but they are not nearly close to their pre-war numbers, as of 2004.
Due to the Kosovo War, after 1999 numerous Serbian Orthodox holy sites in the province were left occupied only by clergy. Since the arrival of NATO troops in June 1999, 156 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries have been damaged or destroyed and several priests have been killed[citation needed]. During the few days of the 2004 unrest in Kosovo, 35 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries were damaged and some destroyed by Albanian mobs[citation needed]. Thousands of Serbs were forced to move from Kosovo due to the numerous attacks of Kosovo Albanians on Serbian churches and Serbs.[citation needed]
Based on the official census results in countries which encompass territorial canonic jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Church (basically former Yugoslavia), there are more than 8 million adherents of the church. Orthodoxy is the largest single religious faith in Serbia with 6,079,296 adherents (84.5% of the population belonging to it) according to the 2011 census,[38] and in Montenegro with 460,383 (74%). It is the second largest faith in Bosnia and Herzegovina with 31.2% of adherents, and in Croatia with 4.4% of adherents. Figures for eparchies abroad (Western Europe, North America, and Australia) is unknown although some estimates can be reached based on the size of Serbian diaspora, which numbers around 2 million people. The number of Serbian Orthodox people in the United States in estimated at 68,800.[39]
The head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the patriarch, also serves as the head (metropolitan) of the Metropolitanate of Belgrade and Karlovci. Irinej became patriarch on 22 January 2010. Serbian Orthodox patriarchs use the style His Holiness the Archbishop of Peć, Metropolitan of Belgrade and Karlovci, Serbian Patriarch.
The highest body of the Church is the Holy assembly of Bishops (Serbian: Sveti arhijerejski sabor, Свети архијерејски сабор). It consists of the Patriarch, the Metropolitans, Bishops, Archbishop of Ohrid and Vicar Bishops. It meets twice a year - in spring and in autumn. The Holy assembly of Bishops makes important decisions for the church and elects the patriarch.
The executive body of the Serbian Orthodox Church is the Holy Synod. It has five members: four bishops and the patriarch.[40] The Holy Synod takes care of the everyday operation of the Church, holding meetings on regular basis.
Territorial organisation[edit]
The territory of the Serbian Orthodox Church is divided into:[41][42]
- 1 patriarchal eparchy, headed by Serbian Patriarch
- 4 eparchies that are honorary metropolitanates, headed by metropolitans
- 35 eparchies (dioceses), headed by bishops
- 1 autonomous archbishopric, headed by archbishop, the Autonomous Archbishopric of Ohrid. It is further divided into 1 eparchy headed by the metropolitan and 6 eparchies headed by bishops.
Dioceses are further divided into episcopal deaneries, each consisting of several church congregations and/or parishes. Church congregations consist of one or more parishes.

Autonomous Archbishopric of Ohrid[edit]
The Autonomous Archbishopric of Ohrid or Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric is an autonomous archbishopric in the Republic of Macedonia under the jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Church. It was formed in 2002 in opposition to the Macedonian Orthodox Church, which had had a similar relationship with the Serbian Orthodox Church prior to 1967, when it unilaterally declared itself autocephalous. This archbishopric is divided into 1 metropolitanate and 6 dioceses:
|Metropolitan Bishop[43]
|Jovan VI (Vraniškovski)
|Marko (Kimev)
|Debar and Kičevo
|Polog and Kumanovo
|Joakim (Jovčeski)
|Prespa and Pelagonija
|Veles and Povardarie
Vicar bishops[edit]
Vicar bishop (or titular bishop) is a bishop who is not in charge of a diocese. Vicar bishop bears in his title the name of a town or region that is within a diocese. He has no independent jurisdiction (even in his titular town), but is subordinate to his diocesan bishop. Only large dioceses have vicar bishops. There are currently four vicar bishops (one of them in the Autonomous Archbishopric of Ohrid):
- Vicar Bishop of Jegar Jeronim (Močević), subordinate to the Bishop of Bačka
- Vicar Bishop of Moravica Antonije (Pantelić),[46] subordinate to the Patriarch
- Vicar Bishop of Toplica Arsenije (Glavčić), subordinate to the Patriarch
- Vicar Bishop of Stobi David (Ninov),[47] subordinate to the Archbishop of Ohrid (belongs to the Autonomous Archbishopric of Ohrid)
Worship, liturgy and doctrine[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (April 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Services cannot properly be conducted by a single person, but must have at least one other person present. Usually, all of the services are conducted on a daily basis only in monasteries and cathedrals, while parish churches might only do the services on the weekend and major feast days. The Divine Liturgy is the celebration of the Eucharist. The Divine Liturgy is not celebrated on weekdays during the preparatory season of Great Lent. Communion is consecrated on Sundays and distributed during the week at the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. Services, especially the Divine Liturgy, can only be performed once a day on any particular altar.[citation needed]
The Serbian Orthodox Church is characterized by monotheistic Trinitarianism, a belief in the Incarnation of the Logos (Son of God), a balancing of cataphatic theology with apophatic theology, a hermeneutic defined by Sacred Tradition, a concrete ecclesiology, a robust theology of the person, and a therapeutic soteriology.[citation needed]
Relations with other Christians[edit]
The Serbian Orthodox Church is in full communion with the Ecumenical Patriarchate and all of Eastern Orthodoxy.
Serbian church is a member of the World Council of Churches since 1965,[48] and of the Conference of European Churches.
Serbian Church Art[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (April 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Services are conducted in church buildings and involve both the clergy and faithful. The original style of Serbian Orthodox Church was the church built out of wood. These churches were typically found in poorer villages where it was too expensive to build a church out of stone.
Serbian medieval churches have been built in the Byzantine spirit. The Raška style refers to the Serbian architecture from the 12th to the end of the 14th century (Studenica, Hilandar, Žiča). The Serbo-Byzantine architectural style, which is the typical one, was developed in the late 13th century combining Byzantine and Serbian influences to form a new architectural style (Gračanica, Patriarchate of Peć). By the time of the Serbian Empire, the Serbian state had enlarged itself over Macedonia, Epirus and Thessaly all the way to the Aegean Sea, which resulted in stronger influences from Byzantine art tradition. The Morava style refers to the period of the fall of Serbia under the Ottoman Empire, from 1371 to 1459 (Ravanica, Ljubostinja, Kalenić, Resava).
During the 17th century many of the Serbian Orthodox churches that were built in Belgrade took all the characteristics of baroque churches built in the Austrian occupied regions where Serbs lived. The churches usually had a bell tower, and a single nave building with the iconostasis inside the church covered with Renaissance-style paintings. These churches can be found in Belgrade and Vojvodina, which were occupied by the Austrian Empire from 1717 to 1739, and on the border with Austrian (later Austro-Hungarian Empire) across the Sava and Danube rivers from 1804 when Serbian statehood was re-established.
Icons are replete with symbolism meant to convey far more meaning than simply the identity of the person depicted, and it is for this reason that Orthodox iconography has become an exacting science of copying older icons rather than an opportunity for artistic expression. The Orthodox believe that the first icons of Christ and the Virgin Mary were painted by Luke the Evangelist. Orthodox regard their depiction of Christ as accurate, with Christ having brown semi-curly hair, brown eyes, and Semitic features (the Virgin Mary being similar). The personal, idiosyncratic and creative traditions of Western European religious art are largely lacking in Orthodox iconography before the 17th century, when Russian icon painting was strongly influenced by religious paintings and engravings from both Protestant and Catholic Europe. Greek icon painting also began to take on a strong romantic western influence for a period and the difference between some Orthodox icons and western religious art began to vanish. More recently there has been a strong trend of returning to the more traditional and symbolic representations.
Icons are not considered by the Orthodox to be "graven images" or idols, but prohibitions against three-dimensional statuary are still in place, though before the crisis of Iconoclasm there was an Eastern Christian tradition of statuary, though not as major as in the West. Biblical prohibitions against material depictions have been altered by Christ (as God) taking on material form. Also, it is not the wood or paint that are venerated, but rather God is through the individual (or event) portrayed.
Large icons can be found adorning the walls of churches and often cover the inside structure completely. Orthodox homes often likewise have icons hanging on the wall, usually together on an eastern facing wall, and in a central location where the family can pray together.
Icons are often illuminated with a candle or oil lamp. (Beeswax for candles and olive oil for lamps are preferred because they are natural and burn cleanly.) Besides the practical purpose of making icons visible in an otherwise dark church, both candles and oil lamps symbolize the Light of the World which is Christ.
Tales of miraculous icons that moved, spoke, cried, bled, or gushed fragrant myrrh are not uncommon, though it has always been considered that the message of such an event was for the immediate faithful involved and therefore does not usually attract crowds. Some miraculous icons whose reputations span long periods of time nevertheless become objects of pilgrimage along with the places where they are kept.
The Serbian tricolour with a Serbian cross is used as the official flag of the Serbian Orthodox Church.[49] A number of other unofficial variant flags, some with variations of the cross, coat of arms, or both, exist.

The Albany Fire Department says fireplace mishaps are to blame for two more destructive infernos.
On Monday night, the wooden casing of the chimney at 821 Shelton Drive caught fire, causing about $12,000 worth of damage to the home.
Early Tuesday morning, residents of 209 South Davis reportedly put too much firewood in their fireplace.
The resulting blaze caused about $15,000 in damages to that home.
No one was hurt in either fire.

I wrote a function that reads "the_content" and replaces various items. I used to call that function using add_filter() with a priority of 1 so it was executed before any other plugin.
Since I upgraded to WordPress 3.5, it seems the priority is not respected anymore as this function actually duplicates some plugins appearance in "the_content" (for example gd star rating).
I tried to bypass that behaviour by using get_the_content(), apply my own filter then call apply_filters('the_content', $content); afterwards but the behaviour is the same, plugins would be duplicated.
Surely I am missing something but I can't figrue out what, any hint ?

Yesterday I updated my wordpress version from 1.5 to 1.5.2 and now the word wrap around my images on my site has changed.
Previously, when viewing my site's posts in IE and Firefox, the opening text of each post, at the top to the right of the photo, was aligned with the top of the photo. Now the text is displayed below the top of the image in Firefox. IE is fine.
Does anyone know why this is, where and how I can change it?

I have never authorized or given permission to any such company. They somehow got a hold of my check card number. I've taken all the necessary actin w/ my bank by closing that card and disputing the charges w/ the security department, so I'm assuming that I will be reimbursed in full, however this is a hassle.
I do have one odd question for those who have also been victimized. Has anyone ordered anything from Flowers.com before getting these charges. The only company I can remember was them and it was two days before these charges showed up. Since my wife takes care of the family finances, she couldn't figure out who Xtreme Burn was and notified me a week later.
There has to be a common link with us all on how these criminals are getting our info. I wouldn't be surprised if some employee of some company is selling this info or is in on it.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

Drashti Dhami and Neeraj's wedding called off?
The latest rumors making rounds is that the popular television actress Drashti Dhami's wedding with her NRI businessman-fiance Neeraj Khemka has been called off.
Drashti Dhami and Neeraj Khemka have been dating each other for quite sometime now and they had announced their wedding which was to take place later this year. There were talk that the wedding preparations had been taking place from February. But the current rumours seems to have a different story all together.
The rumours say that the reason for this split is Neeraj's insecurities when it comes to Drashti Dhami. Her previous affairs with her co-actor Gurmeet Choudhary is said to be one of the main reasons. Apparently, Neeraj was not comfortable with her chemistry with Gurmeet during the Geet - Hui Sabse Parayi days.
Now her chemistry with her Madhubala actor Vivian Dsena has triggered issues that have been latent till now. Seems like Neeraj is oblivious to Vivian Dsena's happily married life with Vahbbiz Dorabjee.
We will have to wait a little longer to get more information regarding this split.
