CORPUS CHRISTI - One of the most anticipated girls basketball games in town lived up to its billing on Tuesday night as Moody edged Ray 45-43 thanks to a buzzer beating bucket from Adrienne Nickelson. It was Moody's first win over Ray in over six years.
(15-11)Moody improved to 6-0 in district play, while the defending 31-4A Co-Champion (19-7) Ray Lady Texans fell to 5-1.
Nickelson's basket actually came with 1.6 seconds to play in the game.
The Lady Trojans were down by as many as 13 points in the first half, but found their stride in the second half putting together a 33-19 run.
With under 30-seconds to play the Lady Texans trailed by three, before Jasmine Gomez buried a three from the left wing.
Head Coach Roy DeLaPena told me his whole team thought they were headed to overtime following the basket, but Moody raced down the court and found Nickelson who scored in traffic to win the game.
The two still have one more scheduled contest on January 29th at Ray High School.
We will have the exclusive game winning basket tonight at 6pm in sports.

Arab Spring is winter for Christians in Middle East (TORONTO STAR OP-ED) By Dow Marmur 04/01/12)
Source: http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorialopinion/article/1154661--arab-spring-is-winter-for-christians-in-middle-east
TORONTO STAR Articles-Index-Top
Though early Christians suffered persecution and many died as martyrs, when Christianity became dominant it was Christians who treated first Jews and later also Muslims as inferiors, often humiliating and sometimes executing them.
Nowadays its Muslims who tend to persecute adherents of other faiths. As a result, Jews had to leave the countries where they had lived from time immemorial and settle elsewhere, mainly in Israel. Christians who have remained under Muslim rule are often exposed to state-sponsored discrimination and worse. In recent years, their plight has reached dramatic proportions.
Raymond Ibrahim, a specialist in the field, last December published a lengthy survey of how the so-called Arab Spring continues to transition into a Christian Winter. He listed discrimination, persecution and killings of Christians by Muslims in Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Kashmir, Kenya, Nigeria, Turkey and Pakistan.
Since its almost impossible to fathom the plight of masses, we tend to concentrate on stories of individuals. Thats why lately the media have focused on Yousef Nadarkhani, a Christian pastor who was sentenced to death in 2010 by the Iranian regime because of his religion. So far, Teheran hasnt heeded appeals by President Barack Obama and other western leaders to release him.
Michael Curtis, distinguished professor emeritus of political science at Rutgers University, has written persuasively about the plight of Palestinian Christians. Though its fashionable to blame Israel for their suffering, in fact, writes Curtis, two-thirds of Christian Arabs left the areas between 1949 and 1967, the period when Jordan occupied and annexed the West Bank, and Egypt controlled Gaza, years before Israel controlled those areas.
In the 15 years or so since Israel ceded control of Bethlehem to the Palestinian Authority, the share of the towns Christian population has dropped dramatically from two-thirds to one-fifth.
This is also part of the argument in an article that appeared some three weeks ago in the Wall Street Journal. Because its author is Michael Oren, Israels ambassador to the United States, hostile critics will be prone to charge him with bias when he writes that the only place where Christians arent endangered but flourishing is Israel.
Though, alas, even in the Jewish state Christians encounter acts of intolerance by individuals and groups, and may at times be subjected to excessive state bureaucracy, their numbers have nevertheless increased exponentially.
Church leaders in Europe and elsewhere frequently and laudably urge their adherents to help Muslim immigrants to integrate into predominantly Christian societies without compelling newcomers to lose their religious identity. Surprisingly, however, the same advocates dont seem to show sufficient concern for their co- religionists in Muslim states.
Though they may not be in a position to adequately protect all Christians in Muslim countries, they should be able to provide safe havens for them in places where the church continues to be influential with considerable access to human and economic resources. If Israel could take in some 800,000 Jews driven out of Arab lands, the Christian world should be able to absorb co-religionists who want to leave because they fear for their lives at home.
But we hear very little about such initiatives. Jews still rightly complain about the silence of Pope Pius XII and other Christian leaders during the Holocaust. I hope that future generations of Christians wont have similar grievances against their leaders for abandoning fellow Christians at risk.
Our common religious heritage alerts us to the urgent challenge to work with God in the sacred task of giving succour and shelter to all in need. Hence this outsiders respectful question: Do Christian leaders apply it sufficiently to their own sisters and brothers in faith?

I have just discovered the main mast on my (30 year old) 38' ketch has cracked up one side.
The mast is spruce and is approx 22cm x 15cm at the base.
The crack starts at the base and (at this stage) has progressed about 2m up the mast.
I drilled a 15mm hole about 50mm up from the step and water poured out (about 200ml).
My guess is the water is getting in somewhere around the hallyard blocks which is job for next weekend.
It appears the mast has an offset hollow centre where wires used to routed as i found bits of wire in my drill bit.
All the wiring now is external to the mast - so no problem there.
My question is, what should I do now to prevent the wood rotting?
I've drilled another hole about 1.5m up from the lower one in an effort to get some air circulating through the cavity.

SoCho Toy
Role: Designer, Prototyper
Company: Social Chocolate (now SuperBetter Labs)
Site: http://www.superbetterlabs.com
Released: March 2011
Platform: Flash
Concept: There are secrets to discover in this tiny microcosm. Bonds grow and fade, color lances across connections, and nodes wander with the wind. How can you affect it, what does it mean, and what will you leave behind when you find it? This toy was designed to convey science through a purely systemic approach. There's no overt narrative, no setting, no characters. Meaning is gleaned purely through interaction and mechanics, and the wealth of interpretations players leave behind when they complete the experience is enlightening.
Design Notes: The Social Chocolate puzzle was designed to teach visitors the science behind our company, elegantly and (of course!) through a game. We found that not only did it drastically increase the time visitors stayed on our site, but that it encouraged constructive, positive commenting at a much higher than average rate (because they had to earn the privilege to comment, and the work was – usually – rewarding). We were surprised by the variety of interpretations that players devised, and what intelligence was attributed to the very simple (but emergent) behavior of the nodes. Another example of the power of minimalism and ambiguity.
To What End
Role: Designer / Musician
Team: Chelsea Howe, Michael Molinari
Website: http://www.to-what-end.com
Dev Summary: A browser game created in Flash over 48 hours in Spring 2012
Concept: "To What End" explored player values, evocative ai, and minimal narrative. 5 puzzle pieces each quirky in their own way start the journey together, but the end of the journey is up to the player. With a limited amount of time, players can choose to stick together or sacrifice and move forward.

Oprah's Thank You Game
Role: Designer
Company: SuperBetter Labs / OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network)
Released: 30 April 2012
Platform: Facebook
Impact: 11 Million (256 x Clicks)
Concept: Emotions are contagious. Everything you feel, you spread on average to 6 other people, who spread it to another 6 people, who spread it to another 6 people. Can we use that contagious effect to spread gratitude to every single person in the US? We're going to try!

The End Of Us
Role: Designer / Musician
Team: Chelsea Howe, Michael Molinari
Website: http://www.the-end-of-us.com
Dev Summary: A browser game created in Flash over 48 hours in Spring 2011
Concept: "The End of Us" was designed to evoke friendship, attachment, and affinity without overt narrative. The orange comet's behaviors – introducing itself with a walloping hello, then running away can-you-catch-me style, circling around you for attention or chasing after the stars (what do those do, anyway? Do you just want them because Orange does?) – are intended to endear. It might not arise directly from the actions (Orange spends a non-trivial amount of time bashing into you after all) but emerges from the familiarity of friendship, good and bad, and the hollow that arises after one-to-one attention vanishes, permanently, for whatever reason.
As you grow and age and eventually start to fade alongside your friend, you come upon an asteroid belt that chips away at both of you. Your final (only?) choice in the game is who will take the fall, and who will have to suffer a solo existence after.

Website: http://symbiosis.manojalpa.net
Dev Summary: An incomplete PC game created in XNA in Fall 2007.
Concept: Symbiosis is a two person networked game about the relationship between two dissimilar but dependent creatures. The players, one as a human, one as a beast, have no idea who the other is, cannot text, talk, or communicate in any way except through the actions and gestures of their avatars. Each character has its own skill set, but neither can survive long without the aid of the other. The beast requires the human's help to open doors and gates; the human relies on the horns of the beast to ward off attackers, and the speed of the beast to outrun that which can't be defeated by force. Part puzzle, part adventure, and part something entirely new, Symbiosis strives to give players a unique experience unmatched by any single or multiplayer game on the market.
Why?: Without the stresses and deadlines of a company, our game design team has the ability to explore innovative and experimental gameplay. The idea of cooperative gaming is familiar, but never forces the players as deeply into their characters as Symbiosis. As naturally as an ordinary human can't understand the growls, neighs, or barks of an animal, and visa vie, the two players are unable to communicate through the spoken or written word, and instead must rely on their actions and a limited set of gestures to convey intentions, commands, or emotions. This restricted communication can lead to emergent pseudo-languages between partners using their gestures and motions, as well as a deeper sense of reliance and co-dependency.
Design Notes: Our team strives to expand common perceptions of what a game is and how it ought to be played. Not only through restricted communication and partner-oriented challenges and puzzles, but through the nature of the player's goals as well. Toying with archetypal win conditions and experimenting with artistic styling in-world have set the gaming experience apart from classic RPG, adventure, and puzzle games.
Music Monsters
Role: Producer / Designer / Musician
Team: Sascha Adler, Nate Burba, Robert Chen, Chelsea Howe, Ben Humberston, Kevin Locke, Melissa Sung, Gordon Szebenyi
Site: http://musicmonsters.manojalpa.net
Dev Summary: A complete PC game created in XNA over four months in Spring 2007.
Concept: Music Monsters examines transliterating between known aesthetic languages (music) and budding ones (interactive mechanics). Based on the idea that MIDI data (information on the frequency, duration, and amplitude of a note) can be applied to many other functions, Music Monsters explores the connection between the musical world of intervals, pitches, key, and scales and the physical world of size, strength, attack power, and ferocity, just to name a few. Play 4 measures of music to a young monster and watch it evolve based on the properties of the sound, then take your monster into over 20 levels based on its unique traits.

Dev Summary: A complete iPhone game created with Unity3D over six months in 2009
Concept: Mint is sticky, Periwinkle is bouncy. With just one button, you can swap the constantly revolving pair and send them soaring through over sixty unique, physics-based levels. Experience their wordless tale of the trials and tribulations of love, helping them survive the only way they can: Together.
Notes: This Elder Geek interview talks in depth about my personal philosophy on Tipoli and its inclusion of minimal I/O systems, minimal narrative, and other 'enchantment'-based interactivity applications.
Reviews: In addition to being Featured by Apple under "New & Noteworthy" 2-8 February 2010 and "What's Hot?" 9-15 February 2010, Tipoli has received many reviews from a variety of publications. Don't forget to check the iTunes store reviews as well!
- App-sized (30 January 2010) – Five stars! "Extremely affordable, unique and elegant, Tipoli is a great example of the hidden gems among indie games. Add to that a fuzzy feeling for a pair of lovers whose story is engaging and poignant makes this game a compelling buy."
- App.itize.us (21 January 2010) – Appitizeus is "a painstakingly curated presentation of the best produced and designed iPhone applications that are available for download via the App Store." They featured Tipoli and said: "A sun and a moon roll and tumble through the stylized landscape. Very moody illustrated love story that reminds me of a picasso oil."
- App Spy (January 2010) – 4: Good "For fans of simple physics games, Tipoli is definitely worth a look at. The game starts off deceptively simple to get players used to the game mechanics but the difficulty soon elevates and things become a lot more complex. So if you're looking for a simple and enjoyable game to play, then Tipoli is a solid choice."
- Pocket Gamer (10 January 2010) – 6: Above Average "Tipoli is an original concept for a puzzler, though it isn't entirely successful, let down ever-so-slightly by levels that are more a chore than charming"
- Portable Gamer (January 2010) – "Tipoli is available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. At $0.99 it's a great little game. And if you don't conquer it right away, trust me. Just give it some time."
- Sioux Falls Video Game News Examiner (28 December 2009) – "I found myself loving the tranquil music, oil-painting art style and the overly cutesy, yet poignant, portrayal of love. There is plenty to love about Tipoli from the complex levels to the friendly price. This game is a bargain on the iTunes App Store for what you get out of it. "
- Nine Over Ten (27 December 2009) – "Sometimes, having an unique gameplay mechanic doesn't automatically translate into having a great game."
- MacMost (23 December 2009) – "You control two little guys one of whom is stuck to the surface and the other who is continuously bouncing. All you do is touch to switch them. Very very simple, yet also very interesting. Give it a try."
- Slapp-App (19 December 2009) – 5/5! "Tipoli will get you hooked, no doubt about it. This one-button physics platformer will have you going back for more and more. The challenging and diverse level design, vibrant hand drawn visuals, and cute love story all make this game a sure pick."
- Elder-Geek (11 December 2009) – Worth Buying! "What do you get when you cross zen-like simplicity with challenging mechanics? You get a really addictive and entertaining brew that is Tipoli."
- Fall Damage (6 December 2009) – "If you are craving something indubitably addictive and you just happen to have an iPhone at your disposal than there is truly no reason not to go and get yourself a copy of Tipoli."

Website: http://quixote.manojalpa.net
Dev Summary: A complete PC game created with Gamemaker over 48 hours in Spring 2010
Concept: Quixote is a non-textual, single button game that takes only five minutes to complete. Based on the Game Jam theme of deception (and additionally 'Rain, Spain, Plain'), the game follows Don Quixote and Sancho Panza through the Spanish countryside and, if you successfully destroy the windmills, Quixote's own skewed reality. As Sancho Panza, you can command Quixote to charge; each successful hit to a windmill blade reinforces Quixote's self deception, and the art of the game slowly morphs over time into the elegant and famous style of Pablo Picasso.

The feds warned the mortgage industry on Monday that potentially false or misleading advertisements will not be tolerated. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission announced that they have issued a total of 32 warning letters to mortgage lenders and mortgage brokers to clean up their ads. They have also opened 19 formal investigations into companies that may have committed more serious violations of law.
"Misrepresentations in advertising for mortgage products pose a significant risk of harm to consumers because they can confuse and mislead consumers when they are making one of the biggest transactions of their lives," said Kent Marcus, assistant director for enforcement at the CFPB.
These enforcement actions result from an industry-wide advertising "sweep" conducted by both agencies which now enforce the Mortgage Acts and Practices Advertising Rule which took effect in August or 2011.
For this review about 800 mortgage-related ads for loans, refinancing and reverse mortgages were randomly chosen and examined. These ads were on the Internet, in newspapers and in mail solicitations.
The agencies report finding four major problems:
"Our hope is through this joint effort that we will make the point that mortgage advertisers need to be very careful about the claims that they're making in their ads," said Thomas Pahl, assistant director of the FTC's Division of Financial Practices. "Both the FTC and the CFPB will be making sure claims are not being made that are deceptive which would cause harm to consumers,"

(FILES) -- A file photo taken on July 12, 1994 shows a man carrying a young child walking toward a truck transporting refugees fleeing the town of Kivumu as they fear the advance of the Rwandese Patriotic Front troops. The UN tribunal for Rwanda on December 16, 2013 handed a 25-year jail term to a former mayor found guilty of genocide for the 1994 bulldozing of a church with 2,000 people inside. Gregoire Ndahimana, now in his early sixties and mayor of Kivumu district in western Rwanda at the time of the 1994 genocide, had initially been sentenced to 15 years in jail in 2011.

Comments about Turkey Windspinner:
A colorful addition to my yard decorations, it does exactly what a pinwheel should. Even though one of the wheels was out of round, both of them spun easily in the slightest breeze.
Cute but CHEAP
By Stardust

The kids loved the turkey. In fact I got a few for the front yard. They are cheaply made though and the wind made the streamers come off the wheels after a few weeks. Dont waste your money.

There was something suspicious in the air whenever Vaisey, Sheriff of Nottingham went anywhere looking as placid as he did right now. It usually spelled trouble. Or meant that he'd just settled himself with an unusually calming bout of violence. He was hoping, though, that Hood didn't know him as well as he thought.
Shuffling up to the door of Cabin 003, his fist lightly met the door three times before Vaisey himself took a step back, hands clasping behind his back as he turned to study the scenery. Look...nothing up his sleeves...

We are a produce company and use IDmaker to update, add and reprint badges for employees at our processing facility. The interface is easier to use. We also like that the database file now stores pictures and signatures all in one file. Things that are not so great are: There is a delay in launching the application. Our database is around 55Mb right now and take about 10 seconds to load and save each time. There is also about a 6 second delay in getting the camera ready for a picture after the "capture photo" button is selected. There is even a bigger delay on capturing a signature(about 10 seconds). Also while printing an ID card, If the mouse is pressed anywhere on the application, it will make the program go into(not responding) until the card is finished printing. We are running the latest firmware on the printer as well as a new laptop with i5 processor, 4 gb of ram and windows 7 professional. The laptop well exceeds the minimum system requirements. Hope to see updates on this soon.

I upgrading from ID Maker Pro 2.0 to 3.0. We use it to make badges for our Staff here. The new user interface looks real nice. However it is slow to load. Changing the settings so that it did not check for updates at startup made it a little faster but not by much. We have a laptop w/ a 2.3GHz processor and 4GB of RAM running the software so that may be causing the lag. Who knows...

Frank Miller - there IS egg on your face!!
By NativityInBlack (119 reviews) from Birmingham , 02 Jan 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
Frank Miller needs to get another director to bring his visions to life, where Robert Rodriguez and Zack Snyder made brilliant adaptations of Millers graphic novels (Sin City and 300 respectivly), on this occasion Frank has gone it alone in the directors chair and the film feels....flat.
The characters are 1 dimentional and feel totally detatched from the viewer, and most of the time from each other too. You nver feel any attatchment to Spirit and dont particularly care what happens to him, further since we dont really see any citizens there isnt much concern for 'his' city either. the acting is ropey and even the stylised visuals feel tired and unimaginative, where dashes of colour were powerful in Sin City the whole film feels awash with blandness.
I highly recommend NOT seeing this film, 3/10 - total snooze fest- Was this review helpful to you?

Unique - beautiful visually and aurally
By a customer , 19 Jan 2013I really enjoyed this movie (although I admit I am something of a fan of graphic novels). The visuals are not merely 'pretty' as one reviewer disparagingly says. They are absolutely gorgeous, Eva Mendes never looked so beautiful, and there is a terrific flow and rhythm to the speech and imagery which give an engaging hypnotic quality to the movie. There have been many negative reviews of this film as there often are when a movie is visually innovative. People seem eager to show that they are not impressed by the visual spectacle (I am old enough to remember the sniffy early reviews that followed the release of Kubrik's 2001 in 1968). The Spirit is a far better film than the po-faced and brutal Sin City - a film I detest. Sin City takes itself far too seriously. The Spirit belongs firmly in the world of the comic book and uses that comic book combination of humour and seriousness to good effect. Jackson and Johansson as as the campy villain and villainess are reminiscent of the 60's Batman TV series. There really is no point in watching this film and expecting to see a taut thriller with a serious plot. Forget the overblown seriousness of recent Batman movies. This is a movie which captures the comic book essence without striving to puff itself up into something more 'important'. And no, Frank Miller does not need to get another director.- Was this review helpful to you?

Could see what they wanted to do but poor execution, could of been very good. This is definately only for true comic book fans however saying that as a comic book fan this was more like an 80's comic book film with over kill modern techniques thrown in. Sorry to say this is Samuels worse film to date for me, and all of the acting was very wooden.

The Kingdom of Sweden (Swedish: Konungariket Sverige) has been a monarchy since time immemorial. Originally an elective monarchy, which usually favored one or two prominent dynasties, the Throne became legally hereditary only in the 16th century during the reign of Gustav Vasa.
As Sweden is a representative democracy in a parliamentary system based on popular sovereignty, as defined in the current Instrument of Government, the Monarch has a purely ceremonial role, though officially he or she is explicitly designated as head of state and holds the highest state office in the country, and by courtesy the highest military and social ranks. The Monarch and the members of Swedish Royal Family undertake a variety of official, ceremonial and representational duties on behalf of the nation.
Sweden has been a kingdom since prehistoric times. As early as the 1st century, Tacitus wrote that the Suiones had a king, but the order of succession to the later historic kings of Sweden, before King Eric the Victorious (died 995), is only known by what is accounted for in the historically controversial Norse sagas (see Mythical kings of Sweden and Semi-legendary kings of Sweden).
Originally, the Swedish king had power limited to the functions of a warchief, judge and priest at the Temple at Uppsala (see Germanic king). It is a testimony to lack of influence[according to whom?] that there are thousands of runestones commemorating commoners, but no chronicle about the Swedish kings, prior to the 14th century (though a list of kings was added in the Westrogothic law), and only a few runestones that may mention kings: Gs 11 (Emund the Old), U 11 (Haakon the Red) and U 861 (Blot-Sweyn).
The power of the king was greatly strengthened by the introduction of Christianity during the 11th century, and the following centuries saw a process of consolidation of power in the hands of the king. The king was traditionally elected from a favored dynasty at the Stones of Mora, and the people had the right to both elect the king and to depose him. The stones were, however, destroyed around 1515.
Legally, however, Sweden has only been a hereditary monarchy since 1544 when the Riksdag of the Estates, through Västerås arvförening, designated the heirs of King Gustav Vasa as the heirs to the Throne.
The powers of the king were originally regulated by a partition of the written legal code called Konungabalk (English: Kings' partition) from medieval times until 1734, when a new law code of Sweden was adopted and this partition of the law was removed. This new law code of Sweden was adopted after a long period of inquiries by royal commissions since the days Charles IX (late 16th/early 17th century) on a new legal code to replace the medieval one.
The 1634 Instrument of Government and altering hereditary rules also regulated the monarchy until 1719, when a fully written constitution, the 1719 Instrument of Government, came into force. This constitution was replaced one year later by the 1720 Instrument of Government, which limited the powers of the monarch even more than the 1719 statute did. The 1720 statute was later replaced by the 1772 Instrument of Government.
As a result of the poorly managed Finnish war, on 17 September 1809, in the Treaty of Fredrikshamn, Sweden had to surrender the eastern half of Sweden to Russia. King Gustav IV Adolf and his descendants were deposed in a coup d'etat led by dissatisfied army officers. The childless uncle of the former king was later elected as Charles XIII. The Instrument of Government of 1809 put an end to notions of royal absolutism by dividing the legislative power between the Riksdag (primary) and the King (secondary), and vested executive power in the King when acting through the Council of State.
The present Bernadotte dynasty was established in September 1810 when the Riksdag, convened in Örebro, elected French Marshal and Prince of Ponte Corvo Jean Baptiste Bernadotte as heir designate. The reason for this procedure was that there were no heirs of Charles XIII and the previously elected heir in January 1810, Charles August, had suddenly died in a stroke.
Following the de facto breakthrough of parliamentarism in 1917 the King's powers were in practice considerably reduced, and he became a figurehead with only limited political authority. In 1975, with the adoption of a new Instrument of Government, the monarch was de jure reduced to a mere figurehead without any formal political powers left.
Head of state duties (post 1974)[edit]
In 1975 the Instrument of Government of 1974 (Swedish: 1974 års regeringsform), replacing the Instrument of Government of 1809, became part of the Fundamental Laws of the Realm. It transformed the (technically) advisory Council of State (Swedish: Statsrådet) into the collegial Government (Swedish: Regeringen) in which all executive power was vested, and thus the Monarch was stripped of all executive powers, while still retained as purely ceremonial figurehead with residual executive authority over only his own court and household. Responsibility for appointing and dismissing the Prime Minister was transferred to the Speaker of the Riksdag. The Prime Minister appoints and dismisses his ministers at his or her sole discretion. Bills passed in the Riksdag become law without having to acquire royal assent: two Cabinet Ministers in unison sign it "On Behalf of the Government" (Swedish: På regeringens vägnar). Thus, in Sweden, unlike most constitutional monarchies, the Monarch is no longer even the nominal chief executive.
The Monarch formally, at the request of the Speaker, opens the annual session of the Riksdag and chairs a special Cabinet Council in a session that establishes the new government following a general election or major cabinet reshuffle. He also chairs this Council approximately four times a year to get information from the Cabinet apart from that given by the Prime Minister. The Monarch also chairs the Advisory Committee for Foreign Affairs (Swedish: Utrikesnämnden), a body which serves to officially inform the head of state and the leaders of the opposition on foreign affairs.
A simplified title that was sometimes used in less formal circumstances was Rex Sveciae or Sveriges Konung, the king of Sweden. The traditional full title of the Swedish sovereign was:
- Swedish: Med Guds Nåde Sveriges, Götes och Vendes Konung ("By the Grace of God, King of the Swedes, the Goths/Geats and the Wends")
- Latin: Dei Gratia Suecorum, Gothorum et Vandalorum Rex - sometimes the first part of the Latin title was Svionum or Sveonum, all three words meaning of the Swedes, not Sweden.
Before 1818, the King of Sweden had many more titles since the times of Sweden as a great power. As the first king of the House of Bernadotte, Charles XIV John, acceded the throne in 1818, these extra titles (except the title above) were dropped. This was in coherence with Sweden as a smaller power and with the new more realistic Instrument of Government of 1809, which explicitly in § 46 prohibited that any governor general should be appointed in the realm. The Instrument of Government of 1809 was also written in a more analytic and contemporary Swedish language, better defined by the Swedish Academy established 21 years earlier. The abolished titles in 1818 were:
- Grand Prince of Finland, Duke of Scania, Estonia, Livonia, Karelia, Bremen, Verden, Stettin, Pomerania, Kashubia and Wendia, Prince of Rügen, Lord of Ingria and Wismar, Count Palatine of the Rhine, Duke of Bavaria, Jülich, Cleves and Berg.
During the reign of the Holstein-Gottorp dynasty (1751-1818) the title heir of Norway (Swedish: Arvinge till Norge) was added, as also other titles that were connected to the dukes of Holstein-Gottorp. When Norway after the Napoleonic wars was included in a personal union with Sweden, the title King of Norway also was included in the title. In older spelling in Swedish the title was Sweriges, Norriges, Göthes och Wendes Konung.
The traditional full title first mentioned here had been in use since the establishment of the hereditary monarchy in 1544. For example the title Vendes Konung "King of the Wends" started to be used then. However the title Götes Konung "King of the Goths", dates back to at least the kings Magnus Ladulås, Erik the Saint and Charles Sverkersson (maybe also Inge the Elder in a letter from the Pope). The title King of the Swedes Svea Konung, dates back to those times as well and even further back. This latter title was however already in the 16th century changed to the title Sveriges Konung, King of Sweden, and this short form of the title was also used frequently.
Carl XVI Gustaf instead chose the plain and simple title King of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges Konung), thereby ending an age-old tradition.[1]Such innovations are reflected in his personal motto För Sverige, i tiden ("For Sweden, with the times") and also contemporarily in neighbouring countries: Queen Margrethe II of Denmark did the same in 1972, while Harald V of Norway bears no extra titles except "King of Norway".
Heirs to the throne[edit]
The title of the heir apparent is Crown Prince of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges Kronprins) or if female Crown Princess of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges Kronprinsessa), and the wife of a crown prince would also receive the title of crown princess but not the other way around. The traditional official title, used until 1980, for other dynastic male heirs was Hereditary Prince of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges arvfurste), although the word prince (Swedish: prins) was used in constitutional legal texts such as the Instrument of Government of 1809 and also colloquially and informally. The title of princesses was in all cases Princess of Sweden (Swedish: Prinsessa av Sverige). Beginning in 1980, the official title of all dynasts is "Prince/Princess of Sweden" (Swedish: Prins/Prinsessa av Sverige).
Ducal titles[edit]
King Gustav III revived a tradition from the days of Gustav Vasa and also from medieval times by giving the dynastic male heirs to the throne ducal titles of Swedish provinces. The key difference between the ducal titles from the Vasa era and those handed out from Gustav III up until the present day is that they now are merely non-hereditary courtesy titles given at birth with no feudal rights attached. From 1980 they are conferred to all dynastic heirs, male as well as female. The wives share the title, as do husbands since a new precedent established in 2010.
Symbols of the Monarchy[edit]
Royal residences[edit]
Royal Family[edit]
The line of succession[edit]
The Act of Succession of 1810 designates the legitimate heirs of Charles XIV John (House of Bernadotte) as the heirs to the Swedish Throne; it also states in article 4 that the Monarch and dynastic members of the Royal House must be a Protestant Christian of the pure evangelical faith (by implication the Church of Sweden).
A constitutional reform in 1980 changed the rules for succession from agnatic primogeniture to absolute primogeniture. This allowed for the crown to pass to the eldest child regardless of gender and thus retroactively installed Princess Victoria as Crown Princess (heir apparent) over her younger brother Prince Carl Philip who had been born as Crown Prince.
In its present reading, only descendants of Carl XVI Gustaf may inherit the Throne.

Hey gang,
My girlfriend and I are going to a very small town in Michigan, along the coast. We can't arrive until Saturday, but I'd like to leave Friday as we're both off.
So I can start the trip early and make a stop or two, but I was kinda hoping for some site that would give some suggestions.
What I'd love to see is I put the start and destination in, then it plans the route and allows me to filter and show some (food options, points of interest, touristy stuff etc) along the way.
Anyone use anything like this before?

How can I access my WordPress installation?
You can access it the same way that you would if you had installed WordPress yourself, http://coolexample.com/wp-admin, where coolexample.com is your domain name.
You can also visit your blog's home page by typing your domain name in the browser address bar, and then click Site Admin to access your WordPress login screen. Just log in using the user name and password you selected during the hosting setup process.
