You may also reprint your tickets online via Account Manager, which will invalidate the barcodes on the missing tickets. If your tickets have been stolen, please file a police report in the jurisdiction in which the theft took place, and contact your account representative immediately.
What do I do if I cannot make it to a game?
There are several options for full and half season ticket plan holders:
1. Sell your tickets through NHL Ticket Exchange, the official resale partner of the St. Louis Blues. To learn more about NHL Ticket Exchange, please click here. NHL Ticket Exchange is only available to full and half season ticket holders.

They will be able to provide you with the best availability. If you do not know who your account representative is, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 314.622.BLUE (2583).

Playoff seat assignment: half season ticket plans
We are often asked how playoff seats are assigned for half season ticket holders. In differentiating between our Blue and Gold half season plans, we offer elements that make each separate plan attractive: Blue plan holders receive opening night and playoff seating priority, while Gold plan holders receive Fan Appreciation Night (the final regular season home game) and one more regular season game than Blue plan holders. Season ticket holder tenure is not a factor in playoff season assignment for half season ticket holders; tenure is only recognized for full season ticket holders. Many NHL, NBA and MLB teams choose to alternate playoff games between half season ticket plan holders; we believe that our system, while requiring one plan holder to be relocated for the duration of the playoffs, is the best possible option in that both half season plans (Blue and Gold) will have the opportunity to attend every playoff game, and to have the same seat for every playoff game.
Season ticket holder tenure
During the summer of 2011, we asked all full season ticket holders to validate our records of their first year as a season ticket holder. Full season ticket holder loyalty levels reflect these records, and are dependent upon the annual renewal of your full season tickets. The loyalty benefits program (please click here for more information) offers season ticket holders a variety of tenure-based benefits. If you have questions about your tenure level on file, please contact your Blues account representative.
Season ticket holder Twitter: @stlbluesSTH
Season ticket holders can follow the Blues on Twitter at @stlbluesSTH. We use the season ticket holder Twitter account to communicate important updates & information, as well as to execute special contests that are only available to our Twitter followers.
Season ticket seat relocation
An annual "select-a-seat" event is held once a year during the offseason, and season ticket holders may attend this event to view the best possible seating locations for relocation or upgrade. However, all season ticket holders may contact their account representative at any time following the conclusion of the playoffs to discuss relocating and/or to schedule an appointment to visit Scotttrade Center to explore seating options.

Reviews for Southwestern Goulash
"very flavorless dish. added quite a bit of spices and still tasted bland. gonna drain tomatoes next time. other than that great recipe"
"Really like this recipe. Do recommend saving some pasta water in case you need a bit more liquid. Used black beans instead of corn because that's what I had on hand and added a handful of kale for some extra nutrition. Good, easy, quick meal, will make it again."
"Very good, easy. We all liked it."
"Great recipe. Fat and easy."
"I love this recipe I up the spices in it for more flavor"
"I made this today and it was really good. I used 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies and also added the can of green chilies (we love chilies). Replaced the corn with black beans as someone in our family does not like corn. Added some taco seasoning to the meat also. I didn't have cilantro but next time I'll be sure to get some as I'm sure it will enhance the flavors even more. This is a keeper and I know we'll make it often. Thanks for a great recipe."
"This was so easy to make. I like that it is not too spicy but has a very nice flavor to it. Made it exactly as written and it was great. Will make this again."
"This was so easy to make! The combination of ingredients is mouth watering."
"This is real tasty and so easy too! I think I'd add just a bit more corn next time. I had everything on hand and it was a new take on goulash that my family & I really liked!"
"We were very disappointed with this recipe. The flavor was okay, but it was very acidic. I'm not even going to bother saving the leftovers."

Union County has been ranked as the healthiest county in the state, according to a study that measured both premature deaths and the level of healthiness people feel.
The rankings provide opportunities for counties to learn from others how to be healthier, said Angela R. Russell, community engagement lead for County Health Rankings at the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
The County Health Rankings University of Wisconsin and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation work together to put out the rankings annually. The rankings began in counties across Wisconsin in 2003, but went national in 2010.
"We want this to be a call to action," Russell said, "not just a data set that sits on the computer or a one day news story. We want to get the attention of local leaders to improve the health."
Union County has the lowest rate of premature death, which is the years of potential life lost before age 75. There were 4,709 premature deaths per 100,000. The highest rate of premature death was 11,791 per 100,000 in Philadelphia, which received the unhealthiest county ranking in the state.
The other contributing factor is morbidity, which measures poor or fair health, poor physical health days, poor mental health days and low birthweight.
Twelve percent of adults reported poor or fair health in Union County. In Fulton County, 8 percent of adults reported it, as opposed to Greene County with 28 percent reporting.
The average number of physically unhealthy days reported in the past 30 days in Union County is 2.8 days. The lowest in the state is Snyder County with 1.7 days and the highest in the state is Blair County with 5 days.
"A lot of people report feeling good (in Union County)," Russell said.
Feeling good could come from the number of wellness programs offered through Evangelical Community Hospital in Lewisburg and the Community Health Department, said Dr. Douglas Spotts, chief medical officer for the hospital.
"They've done a lot of wellness programs out in the community at various events," he said. "There's a wellness center at the hospital."
The Buffalo Valley Rail Trail program also offers an opportunity for bicyclists and pedestrians to have a scenic view as they exercise from Lewisburg to Mifflinburg.
"It's a safe activity," Spotts said.
For poor mental health days, Union County reported an average of 2.6. Snyder County reported the lowest with 2.3 days and Greene County reported the highest with 5.9 days.
"The health outcomes ranking is a picture of today's health," Russell said. "The health factor ranking contributes to tomorrow's health."
Health factors include health behaviors, social and economic factors, clinical care and physical environment.
In terms of health factors, Union County ranks 16th. Lycoming County ranks 34th.
"There's room for improvement there," Russell said.
The rankings are more than just a number, Russell said. The goal is to get those that aren't as high finding what's wrong and learning how to improve it.
"We know it's hard to live a healthy lifestyle if you're not in a healthy area," she said. "Where you live matters to your health."
The health factors that relate to future health show room for improvement.
In Union County, 23 percent of adults smoke, as compared to 21 percent in the state.
With those trying to stop smoking, Spotts said the hospital tries to help people find a plan that works and follows up to see if it worked.
" 'Oh, well, you failed?' " he said. " 'OK, what can we do to make that more successful next time?' We help them succeed next time."
Thirty percent of adults are obese in the county, with 29 percent in the state. One in four Union County residents are physically inactive, slightly lower than the state average of 26 percent.
"There's a high rate of adult obesity and a high rate of physical inactivity," Russell said.
Sometimes getting people to exercise is no different than trying to get them to take medicine.
"I try to do some scripts for patients," Spotts said. "Exercising at least five times a week ... I physically hand (it to) them like a script. It covers more authority."
Ninety percent of county residents graduate high school, with the state graduating 79 percent. Less than half, 45 percent, county residents have some college education, compared to 59 percent statewide.
Being unemployed and being uninsured are both higher in Union County than in the state.
"I think we ... shouldn't have to fear losing a job means losing my health care benefits," Spotts said. "There are some uninsured and many underinsured. We know it's not cost-effective. ... If we really have a system that rewards preventive (treatment), that would pay off dividends. I want to see that increased."
More Union County residents, 17 percent, are uninsured, compared to 12 percent statewide. However there were only 37 preventable hospital stays in the county, compared to 72 statewide.
The county has a 9.1 percent unemployment rate, slightly higher than the state's 8.7 percent.
The information the study provides comes from national organizations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, FBI and Dartmouth Institute, Russell said.
"They provide data county by county," she said. "We turn those data into rankings."
Russell invites people to go online to see where the counties are doing well and then talk to others on how to improve.
"People find information and try to do it alone," she said. "We know it takes everyone working together in a coordinated fashion."
The information is not just for government leaders. Individuals can use it to talk to government officials to improve a healthy lifestyle, such as improving walking and biking paths.
"We want everyone to start leading a healthy lifestyle," Russell said. "It helps (to be) in a healthy community."
In the past, one county official in the unhealthiest county in Kansas used the information to be proactive.
"Rather than be upset, he decided to do something," Russell said.
He used the health community initiatives as a starting point. He noticed that one neighborhood did not have a grocery store in 35 years, so he used a tax incentive to open one.
The story shows "the power of data to make powerful change and lasting change," Russell said.
Being No. 1 is not the last step for Spotts. He wants to see the county continue to improve to become in the top five healthiest counties in the country.
"I'm pretty pleased that we are (the healthiest county in the state)," he said. "I wouldn't rest there. We have our work cut out to continue."
One of the things he wants to see is partnering with health providers around the region to collaborate and share successes.
"That's the kind of infection we want to spread," he said.

Seed to Plate was founded by Radhika Kakani, a Cordon Bleu-trained chef and former computer scientist who runs Indigo Market. Kakani became passionate about linking nutrition and education because of the experiences of her cousin, Swapna Kakani.
Swapna, a senior psychology and public health student at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, was born with an intestinal defect that means she is dependent on IV nutrition. It also means that every bite she eats has to count, Said Radhika, who has developed nutritionally dense soups for her to eat.
Swapna helped with the development of the lesson plans for Seed to Plate that integrate math, science, gardening, cooking and nutrition into a curriculum that also, with its literal tastes of other cultures, helps children appreciate diversity.
"It's all part of developing a delicious life," Radhika Kakani has told volunteers who have joined Seed to Plate from First Methodist Church in Huntsville, where she is a member, pointing out how the family supper table can become a central headquarters for helping children learn essential life skills.
Master Gardener June Wilson is also helping with the project, which uses tabletop gardens to teach children the basics of growing at least some of their own food.
The one-hour training for volunteers, who will be asked to help teach for one day each in September, October and November, are either Sept. 9 at 11 a.m. or Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. Early sign-ups are urged to facilitate the required background check for all school volunteers.
First Methodist Church, which is supporting the program as part of the church's Children First partnership with Morris Elementary, will coordinate the background checks.

Uncle Dale
Families are are God's gift to His people.Through ups and downs, twists and turns and inevitable bumps in the road, family members encourage and guide along the way. And they pick you up when you fall flat! Family members also lay the framework for how we see the world. I'm so thankful for my family, my immediate and extended family members.
Last week, I attended my Uncle Dale's funeral. He was a high school physics teacher. Goose hunting was his passion. Ever since his funeral, I've been reflecting on the words spoken at the service. The pastor compared Uncle Dale to Sir Isaac Newton, a man of God and a man of science. Uncle Dale was also a man of science but more importantly a man of God who loved his family deeply. Life is all about God and the people you love. For Uncle Dale it was the love of crisp autumn days, flocks of geese overhead and time spent doing what he enjoyed with the people he loved.
Who do you deeply love? Have you thanked him or her for being your beloved? I thanked my husband, Scott, for being my best friend and an all around great guy I can count on everyday. I was met with a cute smile, a laugh and "You're welcome." I think he might have been wondering what I was up to at first. When I didn't follow up with a request for a house project to be completed or an admission to a dented car, he knew I was serious. It's good to tell the ones you love you're grateful for all they do to make life sweeter.
Who do you need to thank for being there for you, helping you out of a jam, or just plain loving you when you're not too lovable?

Sunday was a productive day for jockey Paddy Young, who rode a pair of winners in the four main races at the 20th Charleston Cup Steeplechase event held at Stono Ferry.
Young guided Jamarjo to victory in the $25,000 feature Charleston Cup race moments after riding Royal Bench to first in the $15,000 South Carolina Jockey Cup.
"I've been lucky today," the native of Ireland said. The two wins gave him 15 for the season, tied with Darren Nagle for first place in the National Steeplechase Association standings. Nagle also claimed a victory Sunday in the $15,000 Lowcountry Cup.
Race director Karl McMillan estimated that 15,000 came out to indulge in the racing, food and fashion shows that are part of the steeplechase circuit.
The Charleston Cup was the next-to-last event on the National Steeplechase Association's fall schedule. The final event is the Colonial Cup that will be raced Nov. 23 in Camden.
"I thought this would be the toughest race to date he would have tackled. He was carrying a lot of weight (156 pounds)," Young said of Jamarjo's four-length victory over Cognashene, ridden by Martin Rohan. Jamarjo won the 2¼-mile race over National Fences in a time of 4 minutes, 19 seconds.
"You're always hopeful," Young added. "He's been on the go all year. I didn't know it was one race too many for him. Thankfully it wasn't. It worked out great for him."
Jamarjo is owned by Irvin S. Naylor and trained by Young's wife, Leslie F. Young.
Young said he wife found the horse in England and brought it over to the U.S. He won a flat race with the horse earlier this season and has now won twice in steeplechase races. It was Jamarjo's last race until spring when the horse moves up to novice stakes races. The win was worth $15,000 for Jamarjo's owner.
Young said Jamarjo was a nervous horse and they have worked hard to get him relaxed. They brought the horse to Stono Ferry on Friday night in order to acclimate him to his new surroundings.
Young's victory on Royal Bench in the South Carolina Jockey Club Cup was worth $9,000. Royal Bench finished 1¾ lengths ahead of Top Striker, ridden by Willie McCarthy. Royal Bench finished in a time of 4:30.
Nagle rode El Season to a three-length victory over EZ Mac in the Lowcountry Cup, a win also worth $9,000. El Season finished in a time of 4:20.
Wait Outside, ridden by Sean Flanagan, scored a two-length victory over Alfarabi in the Sea Island Cup, worth $6,000. Wait Outside's winning time was 4:29 4/5.

This was our 6th cruise with Carnival, first time on Freedom. I was traveling with my husband and my nine year old daughter and twelve year old son. We booked two adjoining cabins, a great option for us. We lved the privacy and extra room. However, the only adjoining cabins left were on the Rivera deck, great for debarkation, but not so easy to get around the ship. We were shocked how fast both boarding and deboarding was.
We booked two excursions, in Caymen we swam with the stingrays and rum beach... Awesome! In Jamaica we did the dunns river falls and coyboya gardens.... Beauitiful! I read a lot of complaints about Jamaica, but we've traveled extensively and felt very comfortable.
Our room was very clean, everyone on the ship was very nice and helpful. The food was average, plenty of it, but nothing really special. The ship was clean and safe. The outside movies were surprisingly comfortable,with blankets. The sound and picture was better than I expected. The movies were older though. Two years old on average. The pay-per view movies would have been much better. The comics were decent, and the ticket to ride show was good.
The weather was great, and we loved the days in ports. The dining room service is excellent. I only wish that carnival wasn't always pushing drinks. It gets annoying. Past guests do get drink vouchers, but the times when you can use them is very limited.

Toad. Scorpion. Snake. Owl.
This lineup of nocturnal stars won over the 30 library visitors who came to see them July 11.
The Evergreen Library hosted a "Creatures of the Night" presentation by the Sedalia-based Nature's Educators, as part of its children's program. The educators presented the animals, and informed younger and older audience members how each had adapted to live and hunt during the nighttime.
Increased foot traffic at area monuments, statues, sculptures, schools, churches, trailheads and other landmarks partly is thanks to Pokémon GO.
The smart-phone game application, which launched two weeks ago and is now the biggest mobile game in U.S. history, encourages players to find virtual creatures called Pokémon. The game uses the phones' GPS to track the players' movements and locations, and rewards them for visiting local landmarks.
Yoga at the recreation center is customary, and yoga outside with a scenic view is ideal. But yoga on a paddleboard on a pond with mountain views is a bit unusual.
On July 13, six students prepared for bent-knee, or sridaiva, yoga — also known as bowspring — on paddleboards in Buchanan Ponds.
Acrylics and dyes. Metal and wood. Glass and clay. Gold, silver and bronze. Dazzling neons and muted tones. The gentle tones of wind chimes. The soft texture of cloth. Bright and dazzling photographs of nature.
The Center for the Art's 37th annual Summerfest once again turned Buchanan Park into an eclectic display of artistry, from clothing and jewelry to paintings and woodcarvings. Plus, with food, drinks, music and other entertainment, the entire field was alive with an assortment of activities for visitors to enjoy.
A recent interruption in Evergreen area emergency dispatch operations was a result of equipment problems at CenturyLink, according to information released at last week's meeting of the Evergreen Fire Protection District board.
Secondary 911 dispatch operations were knocked out for nearly five hours July 7 — meaning the Jeffco Sheriff's Office had to call Evergreen Fire/Rescue directly about any serious incidents that would have normally been routed to EFR dispatch.
The Evergreen Fire Protection District will rebuild Station 1 at its current location near downtown rather than relocate the facility, a plan that will involve the purchase and sale of several properties.
Fire Chief Mike Weege said the difficulty in finding available land led to the decision to keep Station 1 where it is. He also raised the possibility that Station 1 and Station 4, which is farther south on Highway 73, would be merged.
They say that good things come to those that wait, but that's never been the style for 12-year-old twins Max and Nate Footer.
FORT COLLINS — Patrick O'Neil manned the center defense, like he did during the regular season for the Evergreen Cougars. It's just this time he was doing so with a group of All-State teammates as part of the 2015-16 Colorado High School Soccer Coaches Association All-State game July 13 at French Field.
When Lexie Malazdrewicz graduated from Evergreen High School in 2013, she left as one of the most decorated swimmers in the state of Colorado.
• A nine-time 4A state champion, including back-to-back 200- and 500-yard freestyle titles.
• A 4A state record-setter in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle in her final season.
• A 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials semifinalist in the 200-meter backstroke.
Former Conifer resident Jana Elliott, who was killed in a highway crash July 10 after stopping to assist other motorists in Lakewood, is remembered as a person who always wanted to help others.
Elliott was a passenger in a vehicle traveling east on West Sixth Avenue near Indiana Street when she and the driver, Sharon Young, saw a bicycle fall off a car in front of them.

It appears that the kidnapping of Israel Army Cpl. Gilad Shalit was a timely catalyst that could lead to dramatic and far-reaching sequences of events that strategists here are hoping could change the current reality. It is a reality of a failure by Israel to create an effective deterrence when it uprooted the settlements and quit the Gaza Strip just 10 months ago in a highly praised, bloodless disengagement. It is a reality of an Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organization bent on Israel's destruction elected to lead the Palestinian people.
What began as a military operation against the Palestinian kidnappers and Kassam rocket apparatus inside the Gaza Strip has already taken on on another dimension. On June 28, the Israel Air Force dispatched F-16 fighter jets to Syria, where they buzzed President Bashar Assad's palace as a symbolic punch behind the diplomatic warnings for him to quit the "patronage and support for terror organizations," an Israeli Defense Forces statement said. Israel has no desire to topple Assad or see his weakened regime replaced with an unknown, possibly Islamist one. The message was obviously for Syria to expel Hamas leader Khaled Meshal from Damascus. Meshal has long been in Israel's sights for his radical, uncompromising positions and deadly directives. Meshal, backed by Iran and Hezbollah, has financed and directed terrorist operations against Israel.
Continuing on this theme of taking matters into its own hands and holding Hamas responsible for recent developments, on June 29 Israeli security forces swept through east Jerusalem and the West Bank and rounded up some 70 key Hamas officials, including five ministers and some 15 lawmakers.
The Hamas leadership in Gaza has gone underground. Still free is Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, who is considered more pragmatic than Meshal and has maintained good ties with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The failure of Abbas and Haniyeh to win the release of the kidnapped soldier is proving just how weak they are and how lawless and uncontrollable the situation is inside the volatile Gaza Strip, where Hamas gunmen have clashed openly with those from Abbas's Fatah party.
So far, no one in the world, not even the Arab nations, has severely condemned Israel's actions. Israel is, let's face it, doing their dirty work since Hamas and its ilk are no friend of the Arab leaders. Strategists here posit that Abbas might use the crisis to dissolve the parliament, which could create a new government without Hamas, or a coalition government with a weakened Hamas.
In the meantime, the IDF continues to strike inside the Gaza Strip. While the release of Cpl. Shalit is the main aim of the operation, the IDF is clearly also using an iron fist to strike against the Kassam rocket apparatus there. Egypt has massed nearly all of its restricted forces along the Rafah border. Ostensibly this is to prevent the Palestinians from smuggling the kidnapped soldier into the Sinai, but obviously it is also to prevent the flow of Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt - the last thing they want.
It remains to be seen whether the life of Cpl. Shalit can be saved. But so long as attacks continue from Gaza, what will likely occur will be a policy of continuous military actions by Israel against Palestinian terrorist targets, including an increase in targeted interceptions and possibly lightning assaults by ground forces.
I live in the hills on the way up to Jerusalem. From my back porch I can hear the rumble of the Israeli cannons firing into the Gaza Strip. This demonstrates just how small our country is and how intimate the ramifications of the latest escalation of violence between us and the Palestinians can be.

In this excellent book, Dr Lynch and his contributors have brought together clearly and concisely an enormous amount of data that should be of value to every physician. The reader will find well-written chapters on basic genetics, immunology, oncogenic viruses, cytogenetics, nongenetic factors in causing neoplasia, and cancers of specific sites such as breast, colon, lung, skin, and the nervous system. There is also sound advice on genetic counseling, stressing the limitations of our knowledge.
Admittedly, the field of cancer genetics is just coming into being, but its importance and potential benefits have received less attention than deserved. Patients at a high risk from cancer (and any other disease) should be identified, informed, and followed up, hopefully to prevent catastrophe.
This book will greatly aid the physician to fulfill that responsibility which goes beyond the ancient injunction of "primum nocere."

UPDATE: June 21st, 2012. I found some more shocking things Sonia said that put together, qualifies her for a padded white room. Quotes are listed below.
You know it's always fun when a country fucks up. And fucks up royally via Twitter.
I totally missed this but a few days ago, a Swede on the Twitter account @Sweden went a bit weird and started a debate about what is a Jew.
I.e. What's the Fuzz about Jews?
If that wasn't weird enough, she did it not on her personal Twitter, but on the Twitter account run by government of Sweden, run by the Swedish Institue. They're a government entity responsible to pick these fine, outstanding Swedish citizens (citizens only…UT and PUT holders can take a hike) thought she represented the views of Swedes.
WOW, what an epic fail!
Sonja Abrahamsson, the "low educated" Swedish mother had her "I don't know what a Jew looks like" moment and sparked outrage.
While I'm all okay on offending people, what she said went too far. It starts with:
Before WW2 Hitler was one of the most beautiful names in the whole wide world. I know. Its as chocking as dolphin rapists.
– @sweden / Sonja (@sweden) 10:37 PM – 11 Jun 12
On her blog, she even nicknamed herself Sonia "Hitler" Abrahamsson. Ummm, psycho, troll, or nutcase?
"Whats the fuzz with jews. You can't even see if a person is a jew, unless you see their penises, and even if you do, you can't be sure!?"
— @sweden / Sonja (@sweden) June 12, 2012
And then turns into:
"In nazi germany they even had to sow stars on their sleeves. If they didn't, they could never now who was a jew and was not a jew."
— @sweden / Sonja (@sweden) June 12, 2012
Poof! And Sweden's democratic experience to be tech savvy and a neutral nation implodes.
The only useful statement she did make was:
Im sorry if some of you find the question offensive. Thats was not my purpose. I just don't get why some people hates jews so much.
— @sweden / Sonja (@sweden) June 12, 2012
You can see the Twitter feed here:
While it is great a country allows its citizens to share their thoughts and ideas, there is a fine line of funny and apocalyptic stupidity. But Sweden's Twitter account has not been without controversy. The first Swede to represent the account was an open masturbator, and though hilarious, not quite appropriate for the general audience.
And though Swedes are all about free speech, they have stifling strict hate-speech laws. Nearly every time Jimmy Åkesson opens his mouth (the leader of SverigesDemokraterna), he's arrested for hate speech against the immigrant communities.
But when a Swede starts questioning what a Jew looks like, it is acceptable. Perhaps she has never met a Jew because they don't want to be known as the people "wearing yellow stars or with cut penises."
Those Twitter messages are still live and the Swedish Institute and the government has not apologized for them. Perhaps they want us all to wear stars so we can be figured out? Or it's okay to make fun of hungry gays with aids.
At least there's hope that Stephen Colbert can take control of the Twitter account and bring complete mayhem to Sweden's face.

Sonia made a rebuttal video to Stephen Colbert's second news coverage of the incident.
And if Sweden ever wants an immigrant to poke fun of Sweden (they've had very few colored people run their account…)…well, I am here!
Hum, I don't know. While I do understand your point (and that of many persons who might have felt offended), I can also read those tweets in another way. Honestly, the first tweet about the penises sounded like a bad joke to me, but the tweets about what jews look like and the use of the stars during nazi dictatorship sounded to me like someone questioning only that: why would they ever be treated differently if you can't even say who is jew and who is not. Why all the hate? To me, that's what she said, and it doesn't sound offensive at all. But of course, that is my interpretation – and things can be said in many different ways (including intelligent and debate-stimulating ways, which was clearly not her case).
@Maira – I see your point and I think she was *maybe* trying to have an intelligent discussion. Instead it came out really crude and borderline racist. And, what does the conversation have to do with Swedes?
She could have talked about how much Sweden, especially one Swede Raoul Wallenberg, did to save the Hungarian Jews during WWII. Total missed opportunity on goodwill.
There is of course, no reason to hate Jews or any other community of race/religion/skin color but some people just hate.
One weird thing I read somewhere is that she nicknamed herself "Hitler." I don't know if it was true or in jest or made up by the media.
I read it over again and I agree with you. Even if she had no bad intentions, using the official swedish account to advertise her ideas in such a way was a very unfortunate idea. I mean, don't they keep their own personal twitter profiles? You have one week to be "Sweden" and like you said above, that was a missed good opportunity to say things in a different way…
I would vote You to be next Sweden :)
So would I. I didn't find her comments racist, just woefully ignorant, but you had to read them carefully twice to be sure. So she was ignorant on two counts – her use of language and her knowledge of history. Not a good examole of the swedish education system.
@Janerowena – I just found some more tweets that she said (e.g. Hitler was a beautiful name) and did (adding Hitler to her name in quotes) and together she's racist, troll, nutcase, or psycho. I pick all.
Seems like every newspaper and magazine is covering the implosion –
And her collection of tweets on everything from jews to vaginal fungus to gays with aids
I've read through all her tweets regarding Jews, and I find no racism in them whatsoever. Let's go over the key points, shall we:
She asked what a Jew looked like, pointing out that to her eyes, there was no particular, easily identifiable physical characteristic to set them apart from any other people (with the possible exception of circumcision).
She mentioned that during World War II, in Nazi Germany, Jews were forced to wear the Star of David for identification, because they did not usually have any overly distinctive physical characteristics with which to otherwise identify them.
She mentioned that, because of these facts, she saw no reason for anyone to treat Jews differently than anyone else, and that she did not understand why some people hated Jews.
She mentioned that, before WWII, "Hitler" was considered a beautiful name.
She asked why, in some instances, Jews are referred to as a race, and at other times, not.
In other words, she showed no racism whatsoever. On the contrary, she clearly stated that she did not understand why anyone should be racist (in regards to Jews). She did, however, show a remarkable ignorance of history and the difference between the Jewish people and the Jewish faith. To the point, however, she asked questions because of her ignorance; she did not make any actual statements beyond stating her ignorance of these matters.
As for Hitler being considered a "beautiful name before World War II" she is partially correct; it was not an entirely uncommon name up to World War II, and following the war people thus named fairly stampeded in their efforts to have their name legally changed to something else – in order to avoid persecution by ignorant idiots (read: most of humanity, really).
Interesting fact: unlike Hitler, "Adolf/Adolph" was most definitely considered a beautiful name up to and including World War II; with the literal meaning of "Noble Wolf", it's not hard to see why. Just as with Hitler, however, the name became taboo after the war (although not quite as severely as Hitler, obviously).
So, @Sapphire: I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you this time. Looking at the facts, and ONLY the facts: No, she is not racist. Nor is she psycho or a nutcase. Troll? Quite possibly; either that, or woefully ignorant. Not in the least bit racist, however. Simply mentioning certain words in conjunction does not make a person racist whatsoever, I'm afraid.
As for using the Sweden twitter account for these tweets: Yes, she is either being ignorant or intentionally trolling people. Still zero percent racist, though.
And just to clarify for those who (for whatever reason) disagree with me:
Racism, definition:
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
(particularly note the "and" in #1)
Her tweets do not fulfill either of those definitions, hence, no racism involved. On the contrary, her tweets contain the antithesis of #2, since she expresses the idea that it is stupid to treat people differently because of race. Therefore, if anything, her tweets are in fact *anti-racist*, not racist.
Thus, having looked at the facts, and ONLY the facts, I can only surmise that the (predominately U.S.?) media is chiefly staffed by barely-literate idiots who will do anything and twist anything in order to get a headline.
That is all.
Agree to disagree Heidar :-)
She nicknamed herself Sonja "Hitler" Abrahamsson. As a joke, it would be a very sick one. So either she's mentally unstable or a closet racist.
This reminds me of when people post Confederate flags to their windows, cars, doors. The flag is rooted in racism and a history of intolerance. Even if that person doesn't agree with those philosophies, by just parading the flag on their belongings or home sends the signal that they support the South and its former habits.
I've seen a lot of Swedes have a Confederate flag and I find it offensive and racist. Even if they are ignorant to its social significance, they are still responsible for learning about it. And if not, they become a racist, willingly or not. Claiming ignorance is not an excuse.
That flag speaks for something more than just a flag. And in that, it's likened to Hitler, the name speaks for something more than just a name. You don't want to be associated with either, jokingly or not.
It is likely (but not certain, obviously) that the nickname is a way of making a statement, the statement likely being that IT IS JUST A NAME. The name itself does not possess any objective qualities that render it "harmful" or "hurtful" in any way; any such harm lies solely in peoples's heads, in their chosen perceptions of it. In other words, people can only be "offended" by it if they deliberately choose to be (subconsciously or not). Therefore, the problem lies with those same people, not with the name itself. It is highly likely that she is merely trying to bring this psychological phenomenon to people's attention, nothing more.
As for the Confederate flag, I actually read about that the other day (apropos something else entirely): Apparently, Swedish "raggare" use it because it reminds them of the U.S., and it is solely used in conjunction with their image of 50s-60s American youth culture (for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raggare – it's actually in English!). Ignorant, yes, but once again, not racist (well, in the majority of cases, anyway; I'm sure there are some "raggare" who are also racist).
Again, check the definition of racism. Anything that doesn't fit that definition lies solely in your own head; it is the direct result of the same type of social conditioning that Ivan Pavlov performed on his famous "Pavlov's Dogs"; by creating a subconscious association between events, he found it possible to create a physiological response to external stimuli that initially had no connection to the response in question. People work the same way, and one of the most common political "tricks" is to gradually create this sort of response in people in order to more easily manipulate them. This happens in most countries, but here in the so-called "western" nations, it is by far most common in the U.S., and is more-or-less the sole cause for irrational responses to certain events involving such things as supposed racism that, when observed objectively, has nothing to do with racism at all.
For more info on Pavlov: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Pavlov
Disagree – It's not just a 'name.' It's the connotation of the word that matters. Definition: the associated or secondary meaning of a word or expression in addition to its explicit or primary meaning: A possible connotation of "home" is "a place of warmth, comfort, and affection." Compare denotation ( def. 1 ) .
Logic . the set of attributes constituting the meaning of a term and thus determining the range of objects to which that term may be applied; comprehension; intension.
The denotation of Hitler is that it is a ' last name.' The connotation is how people feel toward the word.
By your logic, the Nazi swastika is just a swastika not the symbol of persecution/war/fascism; the cross is just 'two bars intersecting' not the symbol of Christianity; and a skull and crossbones is just that not something that implies something dangerous. Furthermore, as a simple example, when people hear the word 'chocolate cake' they should only think of a flour, butter, chocolate, egg concoction baked in an oven at 180°C. Not "delicious" or "fluffy" goodness to eat. Words, objects, names always have a secondary meaning. Your world would exist only in black and white if you choose to only see the denotation of words.
And I still find it offensive that the raggare use the Confederate flag. It's a symbol of racism, slavery, and many other things. Just like when I hear Swedes say the n-word at work, it's an attempt to justify a derogatory, racially charged word as a normal word. You can't un-define the connotation of a word; you can make improvements to the meaning but you can never fully erase the social connotation of it.
Racism: Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person's social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.
via http://www.adl.org/hate-patrol/racism.asp
No idea what your point is when you say, "…check the definition of racism. Anything that doesn't fit that definition lies solely in your own head…" so I put the definition of racism here.
The swastika is actually a much older symbol, and was originally a symbol of the sun; by your logic, then, it can mean either one, and presupposing that it is always a symbol of racism is, then, prejudice on par with racism. Therefore, your argument, at least in this regard, is self-defeating.
The cross is indeed, technically, "just two bars intersecting". The symbol is only in people's heads. Otherwise, every two intersecting bars or sticks in the world, past, present, and future, would be a symbol of Christianity, which is just ridiculous. And that's not even mentioning how, according to the Bible, actually having such a symbol for one's faith and deity technically entitles the user to the death penalty; as I have mentioned before, Christians rarely actually read the Bible.
And on the contrary, the world *ceases* to be "black and white" when you drop the silly subjective connotations of words and terms and stick to the actual meaning thereof. "Chocolate cake", for example, refers to a cake made of chocolate – an actual, physical entity which, in turn, has certain physical qualities, such as "fluffy goodness", as you put forward, albeit in your subjective, descriptive words. A "cross", however, only has the physical quality of being two intersecting bars or lines, whereas "Hitler" has…no physical quality whatsoever; it is only a name. Therefore, any connotation of the name Hitler is "merely in people's heads", unlike the connotations of chocolate cake, which are the result of actual physical characteristics. Thank you for mentioning chocolate cake, as it served a perfect example of the difference between objective and subjective qualities that I was trying to illuminate.
As an aside, if one were to accept you reasoning in regards to the name Hitler, then that means you calling yourself "Sapphire" would mean that you support all the tens of thousands (perhaps hundreds of thousands) of deaths that have occurred in connection with the mining, refining and trade of sapphires throughout history; this includes many thousands of murders. Being a person who most often chooses to ignore words' silly second- or third-hand connotations, I assume you do not. Would you say I am wrong in ignoring the connotations, in this case? Do you support wanton murder and greed?
Logically, I cannot ignore these connotations without also ignoring the connotations of the swastika, the cross or the name Hitler. Which option do you find more rational, less prejudiced, less insane?
Anyway, thank you, for once more putting forward a defitinion of racism. As you will note, there is nothing in there that can be connected back to the tweets we are discussing, save that one or two of them expressed the antithesis of the definition of racism, thus rendering them, by definition, an instance of *anti-racism*. Therefore, all claims of racism in regards to the tweets are by definition false, and only express the accuser's ignorance and social conditioning (and thus, ironically, prejudice on par with actual racism) à la Pavlov's dogs, as previously mentioned.
Once again, I have thus shown that there is no racism to be found in the aforementioned tweets.
@Heidar – I specifically mentioned the Nazi swastika not the swastika, two very different symbols which should not be confused. You confounded the symbols and muddled your argument.
I'm going to leave it at that we do not agree. We're not going to come to the same conclusion at any point.
Please leave the discussion open for others to speak.
For me, the end result is that what this girl said was totally uncalled for (unprovoked as well) and if @Sweden feels vaginal fungus, hitler, and whatever else crazy stuff she and anyone talks about is appropriate for a government tourist channel, than I won't be following them anymore. (I did stop.)
I lost a lot of respect for their curation idea when garbage fills the tweets.
(And *yes*, there is supposed to be a connection to Sweden: "The idea with Curators of Sweden is that each curator will share both their own and relevant third party's thoughts, stories, information and other content that is somehow linked to Sweden… create interest and arouse curiosity for Sweden and the wide range the country has to offer…")
I cannot help but note that you are intentionally ignoring the points I made regarding the faulty logic of your arguments. The point of the matter is that my "conclusion" is based solely on facts and logic, whereas yours is not, and in fact many of your key points intentionally disregard logic and fact. Hence, by definition, my conclusion is correct, whereas yours is not. Choosing to ignore that is merely avoiding the issue of your own shortcomings, specifically those concerned with prejudice and ignorance – being precisely the issues you accused Sonja Abrahamsson of, this makes you a hypocrite as well.
In other words, all you have proven in our discussion is that you are prejudiced, ignorant, and hypocritical; and all three to a much greater degree than Sonja Abrahamsson ever even hinted at in her tweets, even taking into account the (as have been proven, incorrect and ignorant) accusations you yourself have made against her.
Given that you, yourself, claimed that ignorance is not an excuse for prejudice and similar behaviour, you cannot even use ignorance as an excuse for your actions without making yourself even more of a hypocrite.
The rational thing to do in a situation such as this, when you have so thoroughly painted yourself into a corner, is to apologize for your wrongful actions and strive to better yourself; given your intentional ignoring of the logical points while at the same time making the vague statement "I'm going to leave it at that we do not agree" while also raising points that are irrelevant to the key points of the discussion (presumably in an effort to draw attention away from your own hypocrisy) shows that you are unwilling to make the rational choice, and would instead willingly choose to ignore reality in favour of your own prejudices – again showcasing your own hypocrisy and ignorance.
I expected better of you; I see I was wrong. I shall, as you have said "leave the discussion open for others to speak" (which is itself an illogical statement, as the discussion was never closed in the first place…but no matter).
Good day.
Heidar – This blog is about the Swedish experience from an American perspective. Maybe these tweets are not shocking for Swedish people, but for Americans, who are highly sensitive to minority issues, they are appalling. Perhaps you don't want to call the comments, "racist" but they are undoubtedly racially insensitive – meaning they are likely to offend a Jewish person. For Americans, these terms are basically used interchangeably. I am not sure why you wanted to defend Sonja so much, but my suggestion is that if you aren't interested in seeing an American perspective on Sweden, you should probably stop reading this blog. Perhaps you just wanted to better-explain the Swedish point of view, but instead you just got off-topic and combative. It's just not really helpful.
To my knowledge Jimmy Åkesson have never been arrested.. And I understand that you as an "American" must be shocked that a person admitted to masturbating.

A spectacular architectural installation of green Lycra inspired by the geometries
of plants, spider webs and soap bubbles has taken over five levels of the
central atrium of Customs House in Sydney.
Green Void is a 20 metre high, suspended site-specific installation by
international group LAVA, using the latest digital fabrication and engineering
The potential for naturally evolving systems such as snowflakes, spider webs and
soap bubbles for new building typologies and structures has continued to
fascinate LAVA – the geometries in nature create both efficiency and beauty.
Their luxury residential tower for Michael Schumacher in Abu Dhabi, for
example, is based on the design of a snowflake.
"The shape of the installation is the result of the most efficient connection of
different boundaries in three-dimensional space, found in plants and corals. We
determined the connection points within the space and the rest is a
mathematical formula with a minimal surface. The concept was achieved with a
flexible material that follows the forces of gravity, tension and growth, similar to
a spider web or a coral reef," explained LAVA Asia Pacific Director Chris Bosse.
The sculpture, based on minimal surface tension, consists of a tensioned Lycra
material, digitally patterned and custom-tailored for the space. "We wanted to
see how far we could take the idea of creating more space with less material,
filling 3000 cubic meters, the equivalent of 8 million cola cans, with a minimal
surface of 300 square meters weighing only 40 kilograms," said Mr Bosse.
Green Void is transportable in a sports-bag to any place in the world; it can be
assembled in minimal time, and is fully reusable.
Chris Bosse, Tobias Wallisser and Alexander Rieck make up LAVA, Laboratory for Visionary Architecture, which has established offices in Sydney, Abu Dhabi and Stuttgart over the past 12 months.

Rolls-Royce Air Conditioning
The only automobile better than a Rolls-Royce…
is an air-conditioned Rolls-Royce.
Classic Auto Air has air conditioning systems designed for the:
- Pre-Cloud I Rolls-Royce;
- 1955-59 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I & "S" Series Bentleys;
- 1960-65 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II & III & "S" Series Bentleys.
For the Pre Cloud I, we offer underdash, trunk and dual solutions.
For the 1955-65 models, we offer in dash, trunk and dual solutions.
For extended wheel base and driver's partition models, we recommend the dual solution.
We can also customize solutions for other Rolls' and Bentley's. Please call or email.
Factory Look & Performance!
The air-conditioner that delivers the appearance and performance of a factory-installed system.
The system is complete - every nut and bolt is supplied. All parts have been carefully selected to meet the exacting standards of the Rolls-Royce or Bentley owner.
Only existing dash ports are used in order to retain the authenticity of the automobile. It isn't necessary to alter the dashboard.
The evaporator-blower assembly fits up in the dash, above the picnic table for that sought after, but rarely achieved, factory in-dash appearance.
Classic Auto Air has developed this system specifically to meet the standards of the world's finest automobiles.
Every effort has been made to use only superior components and materials.
The compressor, by Sanden-style, is designed to give years of smooth, efficient, trouble-free service.
The compressor mounting brackets are designed to be very strong while looking attractive in the engine compartment. They are laser cut and heliarc welded, then coated with a two-part epoxy paint for excellent corrosion resistance.
The condensing coil (front of radiator) and the evaporator coil (inside car) are specifically designed for this application. Due to the narrow, tall radiator grille design and the limited dash cavity space in the Pre Cloud and 1955-59 models, there are no mass produced coils on the market that will properly cool this large interior cabin and not allow the engine to run hot. This is a very important consideration if you are thinking of having a local shop piece together a system from universally available parts.
The all steel engine fan is black for original appearance. The 6-blade, 35 degree pitch fan moves an exceptional volume of air.
All refrigerant hoses are the highest quality
nylon barrier with factory-type crimped fittings.
The Pre Cloud solution is largely custom but we offer photo-illustrated instructions for the 1955-65 models and our knowledgeable staff is always glad to answer any technical or installation questions.
This quality air conditioning system was created with the attention to detail expected by discriminating Rolls-Royce owners.

God of War II
God Of Games !!!!By Michael Money Score:
Jan 04, 2009 4:05PM PST
If a F rating was positive id give this game one for "FUCKING AWESOME" i never did get a chance to play the first god of war my friend just bought me this as an xmas gift and thought id like it, and boy he was right. The graphics are stunning probably one of the best ive seen on the PS2, it totally shows the systems power, from smooth character designs to fast movement. the gameplay is lovely, it kinda reminds me of devil may cry, especially with the way the camera moves. The storyline is great so far i havent finished the game yet, but great acting puts life in this awesome PS2 title. I wont talk much about the storyline because i dont want to spoil the game for anyone, but if your into action or adventure, or even if your just some school kid who hates games but just happens to be studying the Gods in social studies, DUDE PUT THE BOOKS DOWN AND PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andes Manta bring Andean music to Berks
The music of Andes Manta provides a rare opportunity for cultural understanding between the people of their homeland, South America, and the people of modern North America. Although Andean music has been played in South America for thousands of years, its beginnings have been lost in the mists of time. Just as the true origins of the native people of the Americas continue to elude us, the first players of this wonderful musical tradition remain an enigma.
For thousands of years the natives of the Ecuadorian Andes taught their traditional folk music, passed from father-to-son and brother-to-brother. Despite its mysterious roots, this vibrant and powerful music continues to be played from Colombia to Tierra del Fuego, and none play it better than the four brothers who make up Andes Manta.
