"All About the Benjamins" - the debate has changed
We're sitting here warring about canon, and it looks like canon is not the actual issue here. At least not anymore. The canon debate has almost been exhausted and we are seeing the symptoms of such exhaustion.
And now that one side seems to be coming to terms with the fact that canon revision has always been used in Star Trek, the true complaint comes out: Abrams and company is simply doing this to make a quickbuck.
This means that Abrams and the rest of the crew and including the cast are all lying. They're telling us that they want to make a Star Trek movie. But their true agenda is to help themselves to more of that pie in the sky.
The evidence to this: canon revisions.
EDIT: Let it be noted that I edited this post. I originally mistook "Dawson's Creek" for "Felicity". Sounds like a bad MadTV sketch. Thanks to kevin I've corrected myself. Anyway, yeah, I know "aren't they all the same f-ing thing?"
Apparently revising canon isn't Abrams' attempt to shape a Star Trek story to his vision. It's simply a device used to market it to the mainstream demographic.
They could give a rat's behind about Star Trek. Just slap on the label, put some characters in that apparently have the same names as characters created by some guy called Gene Raspberry - Razzleberry? Rogerferry? Turd Furgison! That's it! - and sell it. Right? (Have I correctly displayed the general feeling of those who we no longer need to call "canonites"?)
This is where conspiracy theory comes in. Yes, Abrams said "I'm more of a fan of Star Wars". This does not equal "I abhore Star Trek." By all accounts Abrams is a geek like us. He's into the scifi scene.
It's been made clear that he wants to take this story and make it his own. His style of drama can be spotted a mile away. Lost, Alias, Cloverfield, Mission Impossible III (as much as I wasn't a huge fan of that movie), even Felicity (ick, lucky I'm just typing it, I can't stand DC and can't even say it out loud), have one thing in common: Abrams' character driven drama. It's clear in terms of drama he cares about making the watcher identify with the characters and know their intimate details.
The point is that Abrams cares about drama. In all of his movies and shows it's quite apparent that he cares about the story.
Now, that all being said, is Abrams still using devices to market the movie to a broader audience? Um, are Vulans uptight?
Yes! Of course he's trying to market to a broader audience. He's said this much on several occasions.
Has Star Trek always done this?
I have yet to see a movie trailer, a Star Trek movie trailer at that, that doesn't try to throw at the audience the product's romance, explosions, suspense, and fight scenes in an attempt to draw in more audiences. Not even:
Star Trek has always done things to try to widen its demographic:
And kick *** battle scenes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W64FL-l4FNM
Please... Star Trek is mainstream, it always has been.
While Abrams is obviously trying to market this movie to more audiences, it's clear that he also cares about making a good quality movie.
P.S. For those thinking that I'm tossing Abrams' salad, know this. My true fear about Star Trek XI is not canon or whether or not Abrams' is in it for the money. My fear is about the dialogue. So far from this trailer I've seen a lot of cliches: "buckle up" and what not that could actually ruin the movie.
Also, as much as I praise Abrams' drama, his style seems to be consistent, in that the characters seem to all be from the upper middle class to the extremely rich. They all seem to have the words I GOT IT MADE BUT DON'T HOLD IT AGAINST ME stamped on their forheads. From Felicity to Lost to Cloverfield, these characters are obviously not from my neighborhood. In fact, his casts are everything I hate about reality television. If he could try and attempt to put just a bit of blue collar element into his drama I'd identify with it more.
Don't get me wrong, I was a faithful Alias fan and am a faithful Lost fan. Most of his movies (MI:III was "eh") were great in my opinion. But he has a style that makes me hard to identify with his characters.
That's all.

Abrams and his apparent decisions appears to indeed be becoming the biggest divisive factor. I find it interesting that to start with a great many people were quite enthusiastic about his involvement, but slowly and surely, things are coming to light they personally don't want and he becomes the devil incarnate. Not that there's hard evidence for everything he's being accused of, but when has that ever gotten in the way of a good witch-hunt. Anyway, we'll all see the results in May.
Although I don't recall Abrams being involved with Dawson's Creek', he did create 'Felicity' though.
Well, I guess I now know what about this movie has me so worried.
I haven't liked anything Abrams has done up to this point.
I have seen the darkness in my soul and shine brighter for it.
Anyway thanks for the correctiong.

Well said and great post. I hope he makes some bucks on this film. Something terrible may happen if he does . . . another film. OMG!!!!!! Taking on a ST film was a huge risk, and having done so, I have no doubt he wants to make the best film that he can that will appeal to the widest audience possible . . who wouldn't.
The look of the film and effects will be top notch, thus, lets hope the actors can pull off the essence of the characters they are playing. I think that is the wild card in this film.
I was under the impression that the trademark owners asked Abrams to do this. If Abrams had never intended to write a Star Trek movie originally, and this entire project was begun by request from Paramount, that would negate the "Abrams in it for the money" conspiracy theory. It would become "Abrams is doing what he was hired to do," which technically could be spun as "doing it for the money", but without the negative connotations.
Paramount is in it for the money. That's why any trademark owner owns a trademark. Trust me - they've not forgotten the faithful old guard; when this movie is released there will be plenty of brand-spanking new "real TOS" merchandise for those people to spend money on. Just yesterday at the drugstore, I saw a special set of TOS Pez dispensers with the likenesses of the seven TOS actors for sale.
Actually, according to the interviews I remember, Paramount came to Abrams and said, "We want you to direct our next movie." and Abrams said, "I want to do Star Trek, but only if I have complete creative control over it."
Paramount then said, "Okay, you've got it."
I have seen the darkness in my soul and shine brighter for it.
He's also apparently been tasked with the seemingly improbable job of breathing new life into the fanchise. That means market. This isn't the 60's anymore. This is not a new thing just now being introduced. It's Star Trek. It's been around for a long time and is on life support. Some say pull the plug, others say give it a new soul. Abrams is attempting the latter.
01001110011011110010000001101101011011110111001001 10010100100000011000100110110001100001011010000010 00000110001001101100011000010110100000100000011000 10011011000110000101101000
The version I read was a little of both. Paramount was looking to re-energise Trek, and previously when Abrams had signed a production deal with Paramount he was asked what properties he was interested in. He said 'Mission: Impossible' and 'Star Trek'. He was given the first and made (IMO the joint best M:I film - joined with the first). So a bit later when Paramount were looking for someone to take Trek on, he was approached by them and he accepted, on the conditions he had final cut on the film, creative freedom (subject to some conditions by Paramount) etc. The deal was then done. That's the version I was aware of.
But obviously financial success is a factor, the film is being part funded by his production company so clearly he as well as Paramount will be looking for financial return. I can't count 'they're only in it for the money' as a specific to Trek criticism because at the end of the day that's why studios make films - to make even more money.
Consider this new film a geological reassessment of the mine. Even if it fails, this movie SHOULD at the very least make its budget back. If it makes tremendous amounts of money besides - viola! New gold mine. If it makes no more than its budget, then Paramount will have lost nothing, and will know once and for all that the new television/film market for Star Trek is no longer solvent.

Do Romney, Perry, Gingrich want to zero out aid to Israel?
By Louis Jacobson
Published on Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 at 7:07 p.m.
Do three Republican presidential candidates favor "zeroing out" aid to Israel?
That's the hot-button claim that Barack Obama's reelection campaign makes on an outreach page on its website.
"Stand against 'zeroing out' aid to Israel," the web page says. "Republican candidates for president Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, and Newt Gingrich all say they would cut foreign aid to Israel — and every other country — to zero. Stand up to this extreme isolationism and join the call to reject the Romney-Perry-Gingrich plan."
The claim flows from a series of statements made at a Nov. 12, 2011, foreign-policy debate among the Republican presidential candidates.
It's true that the the proposal, offered initially by Perry and then seconded by Gingrich and Romney, would reduce aid to zero, but only temporarily (and theoretically) as a starting point for discussions about what the final level should be, not an end point. As Perry put it, "And then we'll have a conversation." The new policy could just as easily leave Israel with higher funding rather than lower.
In addition, to varying degrees, the candidates pledged that they personally would either advocate "substantial" funding for Israel (Perry), an exemption from the policy for Israel (Romney), or an automatic waiver due to agreements already in force (Gingrich). None of the candidates actually said he supported making Israel's funding level zero.
Finally, the Obama campaign misleadingly used the term "zeroing out" instead of accurately describing it as "zero-based" budgeting. We found the claim to be a ridiculous distortion and rated it Pants on Fire.

Here is an idea I formulated while I was reassemblying the cub... There is one thing about the cub that I hate, and thats the crankshaft pulley. Here is my plan... Next time I have my pulley off, why not take it to a machine shop, and have them ream a few thousands of an inch off the I.D. of the pulley - just so it's a hand press fit on the snout of the crank. (Like a Piston Pin) Then to prevent the pulley from sliding off the front of the crank, use a big washer and half inch bolt threaded into the snout of the crank to hold it back. That way, if I ever need to change the seal in the future I can still use a puller to get it off, but it won't take much pressure to back it off. Crank pulley removal could just take seconds - with a little anti-sieze applied, you'd never have to worry about the pulley becoming one with the crank. what do ya'll think? couldn't this be done on a lathe at a machine shop? The only downside I can think of is that the hand crank couldn't be used anymore.

Mike Murdock Article: Yes---- That is my old best friend (Jason Murdock) in that picture (top of page in red background). Son of the TV pastor Mike Murdock. In the past weeks it is my understanding he was swooped from the "grunge" music scene of Louisiana and given a prominent role at his father's ministry. When we went to school at Christ for the Nations together, he secretly worked at a strip joint (nudie-bar) as a DJ for a period of time while still making it to the Holy Spirit Class first thing in the morning. Quite impressive actually. And yes, to answer some of your emails, my guess is that his quick switch back to ministry probably has to do with the things that are said in Thieves. My hope is that Mike develops a relationship with his son and does not just use him for this hour to "back-his-story." I DO NOT SAY THAT TO BE TRITE. I MEAN THAT IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. I have not always liked Jason, and I certainly have had very extreme emotions about Mike Murdock. But, you can "not like" someone and still love them. You can "not like" someone and still crack a smile when you know something good happens in their life. We are not to that hour yet. But, I pray for the sakes of all in the Thieves book, that hour comes. Even for Mike Murdock -- it is never too late to cry out, "Lord, what is my life really about?"
If my book Thieves only success was to give Jason a relationship with his own father, then I will have actually considered it worth it. I never really understood growing up why Jason did many of the things he did. But, when I think back, it was probably exactly what he told me one time (the night he ran away from Mike Murdock Ministries and I helped him hide from his father). He said, "Trey, My father's house may be pretty, but its still a prison." I (me, Trey Smith) had a father growing up, I don't think Jason ever knew what that was like. And, in my personal experiences, Mike would very commonly "down" Jason. Mike Murdock can (and does) say some very, very hurtful and hateful things. He says "good, cheery, wonderful" things for the world to see. But, when you are really there.... when you're really a family member, an ex-wife, a friend not funding him, even his own staff... its not all lollipops, candy-canes and $58 dollar miracles.
Let me be clear about this - Thieves is an honest book ---- a brutally honest book. That does not just apply to Mike Murdock. It applies to me also. I have been no angel. So, this is not about me pointing the finger. This is a true story about many things that probably never happen in other people's lives. And, at the center of the story is a very cunning TV pastor and a safe. I have been through no shortage of real nightmares following that safe robbery ---Things I would not wish on anyone --- not even Mike Murdock.
It hurt a little when I saw an article tonight talking about Mike's "new push" for 450 people to give him $450 dollars by the end of the month. Which is actually the reason I couldn't sleep and pulled myself up to write this article; I hope the Examiner leaves it up as I think that this is important.
Mike, if you are reading this---- you don't have to prove to me what you are a capable of. I know full and well what you are capable of. I had a dream the other night Mike. I was disappointed when I woke up to find out it wasn't real. You were on a stage ---- You broke down and cried... Not a play cry as you do occasionally for the show of collecting money (the eternal victim thing) No. It was a real cry Mike. You began apologizing in tears to God, the people you have taken so much from, and the women you have used as play-toys in your powerful palace. That was my dream Mike..
You think I am your enemy ---- but I am not. What I have to say is true, and I know that scares you. If another $58 dollar check would make you happy Mike, then tell me: Why aren't you the happiest man on earth. In fact, if I thought that getting you the money you are seeking this month would cause you to just stop ---- then I would figure out how to go get you that money Mike. Yes me --- Trey Smith --- the guy you are saying is the "Evil Enemy, Satan," and everything else ---- if it would actually cause you to open your eyes and look at the people you have affected... the lives you've broken... if it would just squeeze one legitimate concern out of you for anyone other than yourself ---- then I would figure out how to deliver that money to your doorstep myself. But, you won't stop, will you Mike? The problem is bigger than another $58 dollar check, it is bigger than 450 - 450 dollar checks, it bigger than another jet-airplane ---- isn't it Mike?
If nothing else, please don't use Jason as a pawn as you have in the past ---- promising him the sun, moon, stars, (money) and mantel of the ministry. Just be a father Mike. For once in your whole life "accomplish something. Do something you have never done before." --- sound familiar. Forget about the 299 books you scrambled to rephrase and hang on the wall, forget about seeing how "far you can push" a bunch of people who really don't have it to give Mike. Out of tens of millions of dollars and Lord knows how many lives broken and shattered, could you for once in your life do something ---- one thing ---- for someone other than yourself.
PS: I am truly sorry I stole your safe. I am not saying that to be "cute". That was wrong. I spent a lot of time in the desert of Mexico scared of you Mike ---- I guess you probably already knew that though. I may not be a bright man, but I will follow what I feel my heart says is right. Hopefully as this veil comes off, even you may see a little bit of Light, Mike Murdock.
Forgive me if I'm unable to call you Dr. (many people go to school for a great many years to achieve that title, I understand you mailed in some kind of form and few thousand dollars to get your degree).

"I have formed everything you see from mere words. I have given thousands of sermons. I have written fifty books. I have composed hundreds of songs. One piece at a time, I have built what my father could have only dreamed."
"And yet, here I am. My only son has no interest in the legacy I've made. No. My son is here to snoop where he shouldn't snoop. He is here to bask in what doesn't belong to him while no one is looking. And then, as if I were dealing with a clown, my son will actually show up later wearing lip stick and mascara on his face."
"It's not like that, Dad," Jason said.
"Jason it is with great tolerance that I even dare call you my son." Mike jumped to his feet.. "Get out!"And don't you ever come in here again wearing lipstick like a ............!"

Mike Murdock (wealthy TV pastor) has common nicknames such as, "Pimp in the Pulpit," and, "the King of Profit Preaching."
Mike Murdock is one of the most profitable evangelists in current Christian television. His powerful rise to ministry fortune came through a series of advantageous moves made during the fall of PTL. His ministry has since progressed to become a "single man empire." He now boasts of sermons where the reported take was better than a million dollars. It would likely be difficult (if not impossible) to find an instance where Murdock has not aggressively pushed audiences to "plant a seed" from start to finish. He is dependant on large volumes of low-income people to fund his overwhelming excess, and the security surrounding that excess. He vigorously guards his ministry's financial records and goes to great lengths to protect the privacy of his lifestyle. When asked by watchdog groups why that less than 1% of the many millions that he takes in annually goes to any charitable cause other than himself, Murdock commonly responds that he, "does not owe answers to the devil." In the book Thieves, it is more than just pet lions, limos and jetplanes that all those $58 dollar checks are paying for. www.treysmithbooks.com/thieves/thieves-book.html
Below are some actual statements made by Mike Murdock on his Twitter Live Feed the day he first began to publicly address the Thieves book.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (April 2, 2013) – Medal of Honor Recipient Leo Thorsness is scheduled to appear this weekend as a guest speaker during Panther Racing's "Operation: Hire Our Guard" presentation. Thorsness was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty for his actions over North Vietnam on April 19th, 1967.
For a full round-up of Panther's employment program from the last race in St. Petersburg, including video, photo galleries and interviews with business leaders and military leadership who attended, read our Interactive Magazine HERE: http://panther.interactmag.com/30/St-Petersburg/
Thorsness, along with several other Medal of Honor Recipients, have been an instrumental part of Panther's program to fight Veteran unemployment. Last week in St. Petersburg Medal of Honor recipient Gary Littrell was the honorary speaker during the "Operation: Hire Our Guard" program and both men were amongst the 10 Medal of Honor recipients that were guests of Panther during the Indy 500 last May. The team plans to bring in another large group of Medal of Honor recipients for the Indianapolis 500 weekend this year as well to help raise awareness and educate potential employers about Veteran unemployment.
As a pilot of an F-105, Lt. Col. Thorsness was on a surface-to-air suppression mission over North Vietnam when he and his wingman attacked and silenced two surface-to-air missile sites before Lt. Col. Thorsness' wingman was shot down by intensive anti-aircraft fire, forcing the two crewmembers to abandon their aircraft. Thorsness circled the descending parachutes and spotted a MIG-17 in the area, and initiated an attack and destroyed the MIG-17. Though Lt. Col. Thorsness was critically low on fuel, he returned to the site of the downed crew and spotted four MIG-17 aircraft circling the two crewmembers, initiated an attack on the MIGs and damaged one aircraft while driving the others away.
Operation: Hire Our Guard Program Scheduled Sunday:
This weekend at 11:45am Panther will conduct its "Operation: Hire Our Guard" program in the team's hospitality area at Barber Motorsports Park.
Operation: Hire Our Guard is a Panther Racing initiative to raise awareness and educate business leaders around the country about the increasing unemployment crisis facing our National Guard, with the ultimate goal of making the connections necessary between the military and business leaders to secure quality employment for National Guard Soldiers. Unemployment is the No. 1 issue facing returning and demobilizing National Guard members and their families. Overall unemployment is 13% - as high as 30% for Veterans between 18-30 – and, in total, there are currently 65,000 unemployed National Guard members. These goals will be accomplished through at-track programs during IndyCar Series race weekends, off-site and employer-outreach programs in states where IndyCar does not race and through nationwide promotional efforts.
Last year Panther's events provided Veterans exposure to approximately 9,300 job opportunities and based on a conservative approach, potentially over 4,300 Guardsmen have been employed as a result of our program. While our employment program is a small dent in the 65,000 estimated unemployed Guardsmen, our efforts will increase in 2013 as our partnerships and program grow.

Live Blackjack online connects you to the casino world at the click of a button. This is VIP treatment in the comfort of your own home. There's no downloading involved so you can start playing as soon as you're ready. Simply log into your Sky Vegas account, select the live dealer Blackjack table with the betting limits to suit you, and join in the fun!
Remember there is a choice of blackjack tables available, each one bossed by our gorgeous dealers. They can help you through the rules of the game if you become a little unstuck, and all bear a physical shoe of cards to get each game ticking along nicely
There are also some additional in-game features to help players with their betting and avoid the bust. You can learn more about these additional features in the how to play section below.
Live Blackjack is an experience in itself, and one not to be missed. So make a stand, take a hit and aim for the magic 21 mark!
The object is to achieve a higher card count than the croupier without exceeding a count of 21.
The Play
Bets are placed on the blackjack table in the rectangle immediately in front of you. Each bet must be made in accordance with the minimum and maximum table limits, which vary from table to table. Players must place and confirm their bets before the end of the betting period, which ends when the croupier announces "No more bets."
Beginning on the croupier's left, a card is dealt face up to each player in turn with the croupier being last in rotation. A second card is then dealt in the same manner, face up to each player; the croupier also gets a second card but it's dealt face down. Once all initial cards are dealt, each player gets a turn to improve their counts.
The order of the turns is the same as the order the cards were dealt. During your turn, you have the option of standing or hitting (drawing) one or more cards to improve your count. Once you stand, your turn is over.
If you exceed a count of 21, this is called a bust, and you lose your bet immediately; otherwise, your bet remains unresolved. If your initial count (with two cards) is 21, this is called blackjack. You are not allowed to draw (hit on) blackjack. If there is no possibility that the croupier also has blackjack (that is, the croupier's card is neither a face card, a Ten, nor an Ace), then you win your bet immediately upon the start of your turn, and your bet is paid at 3 to 2.
If there is a possibility that the croupier also has blackjack, the resolution of your bet is delayed until the croupier's final count is established. After all players have had a turn, the croupier turns their second card face up, then stands or draws as appropriate, according to the house strategy. If the croupier exceeds a count of 21, she busts, and all unresolved bets are winners. If she stands without busting, each player's count is then compared to the croupier's. If your count is closer to 21 than the croupier's, you win. If the croupier's is closer, you lose.
If you and the croupier tie, the bet is a push (or standoff), which means you neither win your bet nor lose it. Once all bets have been resolved, the croupier announces the beginning of the next betting period.
The Cards
Face cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are worth 10, while Aces are worth 1 or 11. After a player has stood, a hand containing one or more Aces is considered to be at its highest possible value without exceeding 21.
Player Options
After the first two cards are dealt, each player gets an opportunity to improve their counts. They may also alter their wagers in the following ways:
Splitting - Pairs, two cards of equal rank (e.g if the hand contains two Kings, or two Ten cards), may be split into two separate hands, each with a bet equal to the original bet amount. If you split your hand, the first subhand is dealt a second card, and you are permitted to stand or hit one or more cards to improve the count. Once you stand on your first subhand, your second subhand is dealt a second card, and you are then permitted to stand or hit on that hand. Split Aces are an exceptional case. When you split a pair of Aces, each subhand receives exactly one additional card with no option to hit. Further, a count of 21 with the two cards in a subhand of split Aces is not considered a Blackjack, and will lose to a croupier's Blackjack. Subhands may not be resplit.
Please note you are unable to split if you have two different ranked cards of the same value e.g. a King and a Ten, the cards held must be of the same rank.
Doubling - After the first two cards are dealt, you have the option to double down, which means you wager an additional amount equal to your original bet and receive exactly one more card on that hand.
Insurance - If the croupier's up card is an Ace, you may obtain insurance, which is a wager of a sum equal to one half of your original bet. If the croupier draws a Blackjack, the insurance pays two to one. If the croupier fails to draw a Blackjack, you lose your insurance. You may obtain insurance even if you have blackjack.
The House Strategy - Unlike the players, the house has no choice in whether it hits or stands on its hand. The house must:
• Hit on a count of 16 or less
• Stand on a soft 17
• Stand on a hard 17 or more
A soft hand is a hand in which an Ace may be counted as either 1 or 11 without the count exceeding 21. A hard hand is a hand in which all Aces may only be counted as 1 each to avoid the count exceeding 21.
Bet Behind
Should a table be full or you prefer to bet on another player's action then bet behind functionality is also available. You can choose to bet on any already occupied seat however bet behind functionality will not be available to already seated players, and players betting behind will be unable to take a seat and bet behind at the same time in phase 1. Players will be able to make all bets up to the launch of the 'no more bets' message and bets will be automatically sent for players.
There is no limit for the number of players that can bet on any particular seat but in bet behind rules the seated player only makes all the decisions except insurance. Insurance will be offered to all players including bet behind players.
The player betting behind must also decide what the system should do in all game decision situations via a message that appears when the player makes their first bet. The player is informed 'If the player you bet behind on decides to split or double down your bets will be doubled'. The player can decide to not double their bets in this situation should they choose. The player will not be asked this again during the session. If the player leaves the game and then returns, thereby starting a new session, the player will have the message displayed again and the result will be recorded for the new session.
Blackjack, a two-card 21 not arising on a split, is paid at three to two as long as the croupier does not also have Blackjack. If both you and the croupier have Blackjack, the bet is a push. Blackjack beats any three-or-more-card 21. All other winning bets are paid at one to one. A croupier/player tie is a push, and neither wins nor loses. You bust and lose your bet with a card count exceeding 21.

Giorgio Armani / Spring 2011 RTW
Search a show by:
With a major apology to Diana Vreeland for taking her aphorism and putting a specifically spring 2011 spin on it, navy blue is the pink of Giorgio Armani. While all over this city designers have gone Crayola-crazy, he chose to challenge himself by exploring virtually one color and one color only at his Giorgio Armani show today. Not once did any of the palette he has used for decades—the bones and the taupes and the beiges—appear. It's hardly surprising, since Armani himself is so associated with wearing navy; he can make a tee in the hue look as appropriate and as smart as a Savile Row suit. But someone else can claim ownership of it too: the Taureg tribesmen of Saharan North Africa, who inspired the designer to imagine how he could take their swaddled layers and contextualize them for his women. That's where those slim trousers—with their draped pleats falling from the waist, but not with so much volume cut into them that they become fattifying—came from. This pant shape, gently tapering to a narrow ankle, is going to be the alternative for those who don't want to wear the wide seventies flares.
Armani's instincts to explore layering are spot-on. Because, for all the bold combining of clean, sportier, longer, voluminous shapes we've been seeing, there's another story that's being quietly told now: the original and intriguing building-up of a look through the layering of soft, slim clothes. The aim is for everything to look gossamer, light, and easy—Armani stressed how he'd worked hard on making his fabrics weigh as little as possible—and without the extreme juxtaposition of proportions. (However, Armani couldn't resist a little of that, putting pants under skirts and dresses.) Still, the idea of using one color across different pieces in different textures might appeal to those not ready to play spring's dare-to-wear-me neon, Day-Glo, and saturated brights, even when they are mixed up with neutrals. Next season can also be about shade, as well as color, blocking.

Canned sample via northyorksammy. Pale orange in colour with a bit of haze and medium carbonation. Aromas of mild citrus, herbal hops, pale malts, and yeast. Great herbal hop flavors dominate the palate, supported by tea buscuit like malts, sublte yeast notes, and a hint of tart orchard fruit. Fairly dry and very refreshing on the finish. Well balanced. I could drink lots of this.

Served in footed pilsner glass.
LOOK (4/5) Very nice. A dark gold with some orange colour, just cloudy enough to give it a really interesting gradient in the glass. Cloudy, but not truly opaque like a witbier. Poured with a voluminous, creamy head that stuck around for the first few sips, and left a generous lacing on the glass.
SMELL (4/5) This beer really puts the aromatic hops front and center along with the dry smell typical of lagers. The scent finishes with a rich creamy spiciness, with some hints of citrus.
FLAVOUR (4/5) Very light and delicate and quite dry. The spiciness and citrus flavors finish along with some nice dryness. The late introduction of aromatic hops is quite evident as this brew doesn't finish with a particularly bitter end.
FEEL (4.5/5) The mouthfeel was extremely pleasant and was, to me, the highlight of this beer. The unfiltered-ness had clearly contributed a nice full body (which also sustained the head). To be fair, I'm used to thinner lagers and prefer a fuller bodied beer. The light flavor and full body were nicely balanced indeed!
DRINK (4.5/5) I really quite enjoyed this one. At the first sip, I immediately regretted picking up only one immediately before the liquor store closed! Although it has a full body, I think the light flavors would also make this an ideal session beer.

Picked up this year's new batch from LCBO on May 8, 2010. I was excited to say the least. For some reason, last year's peach/apricot bouquet is gone, as well as the bready undertone. Carbonation is markedly increased as well. Now it just tastes a lot like Creemore Lager now except at a higher price. Disappointed.

It's a blustery cold day - perfect for a hearty lager!
Poured into Creemore branded lager glass. Amber orange hue. Only slightly opaque, but the effect is there. Patches of lacing, a thin ring of head.
Nose is quite inviting. Leafy hops, tea, honey and a bit of malt.
A smooth, tart little brew. Not nearly as hoppy as last year's batch, but still a decent hop character. Malt and tea, a touch of bread or biscuits there as well. Dry finish.
Decent carbonation, slight creamy feel.
Another fine brew from Creemore; quite enjoyable this time of year. Not really a session brew - defionitely one to take some time with and enjoy.

Cheers again to biegaman as I explore the box of local goodness that he sent to me. Pours a light amber & the head is lacing nicely. Smells like a dunkel lager but the Keller style is new to me. Tastes is smooth malt with a kick of hops & very well done. Mouthfeel is smooth & this is very drinkable. I like German style brews since I am from SE PA & this is very good. Recommended.

Big off white head that seems to have a tint of yellow to it, recedes really slowly above a thick farmers honey golden copper colored beer.
Lightly sweet grain malt and light grasses in the aroma of the unfiltered Kellerbier.
Lighter sort of sweet malt grain taste with a touch of some bitterness probably from the hops coming through.
A lightly dryish aftertaste that harbors just a bit of the sweet tastes with it with this medium bodied offering.
This beer has some sweetness to it but not enough to be overbearing or unpleasant and even though this isn't my favorite style of beer this was quite drinkable.

473ml, nice light copper-shaded can, with lots of old-world brewing cellar imagery, procured at some LCBO or another in the greater Toronto metro area in my past few weeks of on-site work, and Ontario beer scene play.
This beer pours a slightly cloudy, muddled medium orange apricot amber hue, with two fingers of puffy, moderately foamy ecru head, which leaves some random climbing arches of broken webbed lace around the glass as it steadily recedes.
It smells of sharply biscuity, grainy caramel malt, a bit of burnt white toast, and somewhat bitter earthy, floral and grassy hops. The taste is more crisp, lightly toasted bready malt, mild biscuity crackers, sassy yet still subdued citrus and apple notes, and leafy, grassy hops, all of which mellow a bit as it warms.
The carbonation is moderately peppy, the body a solid, sturdy, yet forgiving medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a touch of beginner's creaminess, all in the face of the combined malt and hop edginess. It finishes fairly dry, with a certain saltine cracker leaning.
A rather enjoyable old-school lager, made right in rural Ontario, if under the auspices of Big Beer, but they've apparently been set free of any purported shackles for this one - it's pleasantly crisp (oh shit, I may have said that already), fresh, and substantially heady. Too bad I only have the one, but chances are Molson's Canada-wide distribution network will soon address that minor detail.

Pours a hazy golden orange with 2+ fingers of beige head. The head has so-so retention and decent lace.
Nice bread malt base to the aroma with some caramel to back it up. The hops give the scent of grapefruit and grass.
Toasty bread flavour. Lightly buttered. Caramel. Grassy and grapefruit hop flavour. A little bit spicy. Moderate bitterness that grows a little as it warms. Very balanced.
Medium bodied with low carbonation. Feels smooth and goes down very easy. This a tasty and refreshing summer release, and I'll be picking up more before it's gone.

Appearance: Orangey-gold haziness. An inch worth of head on initial pour, decent retention.
Aroma: Fresh bread with slight herb (rosemary/thyme).
Taste: Smooth and little carbonation. Strong maltiness - much less hops than first offering of the beer last fall. Dry finish. Well balanced.
Mouthfeel: Creamy.
Drinkability: No bloating from drinking. Could easily tip these back.
Final thoughts: Not as hoppy or as hazy as I remember the first batch being; however, still very enjoyable. I'm not sure if that's due to the fact that this can was drank within the first week of it being offered and the previous one was towards the tail end of the previous offering.

Creemore Springs release party at Victory Cafe. Very very fresh. Had this on tap, will be released in cans...just as now-unfiltered. Peachy cloudy appearance with long lasting white generous head, leaving lace traces. Yeasty and spicey and malty aroma. Medium mouthfeel, the yeast cushions but above average carbonation offsets this and prevents a full two pints from being consumed, still very drinkable. Significant hops, including dry hopping, I like the unfiltered taste. Drying finsh. Bang on style, it hits the ontario market between the eyes, and just as Creemore brought craft back in Ontario about 20 years back, this will be a paradigm shifter.

4.38/5 rDev +13.2%
Well chilled it pours an opaque peach. A large, billowy white head forms, but settles quickly. Lacings are slippery, little retention.
Surprisingly light aroma. Yeast gives off a fruity, almost orange, aroma. Very little in the way of hops on the nose.
Combination of lively carbonation and hops brings forward a first hit of the subdued bitterness and characteristic earthiness of the noble hops. Hops coat the mouth, but nonetheless give way to biscuity malt with just the slightest sweetness. The beer finishes with a characteristic Creemore metallic twang from the yeast and a touch of apricot fruit. Leaves a grassy bitterness on the back of the tongue.
Goes down smooth with a nice amount of carbonation, though I would have preferred a touch less. I also could have done with some chewier malt.
A winner from Creemore. These people clearly love beer, despite their infamous owners.

The unfiltered look is obvious. Creemore's Kellerbier is a hazy copper-amber with a good cover of off-white head and some pretty nice lacing.
Smells like a lot of yeast to start, though it quickly fades into a better balance. Along with all the yeast is some sharp, astringent citrus, candy-like malt, a little bread and earthy German hops. Pretty nice actually.
This is definitely the more flavourful of the three Creemore products I've had. Lots of earthy German hops present. Quite well-balanced, with just enough bready malt for support. The sweetness found in the nose isn't really showing here, which is a good thing. This is a bitter, earthy brew. A subtle fruitiness shows up as a nice extra bit of complexity. The finish isn't as drying as you'd expect, given all the hops.
I'm really surprised by the feel. For a lager the feel is great but for a lager from Ontario, this stuff is pretty fantastic. Creamy medium-full body with a moderate-to-high carbonation. I'm digging it.
I've only had one other Kellerbier and feel that the drinkability here is comparable. This is easily the best of the Creemore's I've had but possibly the least drinkable. It's a little too bitter to want to session, though you could if you're into the bitterness. This is a well-made beer and I'd be happy to drink this again. Would probably be pretty great on tap, if that exists.
Edit: I had to up the drinkability here, since it seems I've been drinking more of this than probably any other beer this summer and it definitely sessions well. Not too bitter; this stuff is damn tasty. One of the few beers Ontario can boast of.

Creemore's summer seasonal.
A nice hazy amber body greats me in the glass, looking very enticing. This is topped by a large porous cream coloured head with decent retention.
Sweet flower blossom and lemon rind aromas prevail throughout. Cutting through this are mild sulphurous notes and wet leaves. Fruity aromas of white grape and golden raisin round out the bouquet.
The taste is an interesting mix of pale malt flavours one comes to expect of a lager and vibrant hop bitterness. It's very lively and fresh tasting, almost juicy. Fresh chlorophyll notes mingle with some mild yeast flavours.
The body is medium light with a fairly high level of carbonation.
A very refreshing ad flavourful beer though.

A - poured a one finger head from a 500ml can - pleasing light apple cider colour - head quickly subsided - little to no patchiness
S - strong malt and grass smell which I found pleasing with some floral notes
tasted much the same as the smell - pleasantly bitter with plenty of grassy hops but not overpowering - a little spicy
A nice mouthfeel - a little tingling on the tongue with little carbonation - very easy drinking
O - my favorite from Creemore - very tasty for my only stab at this style - reminds me a little bit of a full flavored IPA

A long ride to Randolph last Friday ended in disappointment for the Mabel-Canton football team, as the SEC's newest member defeated the Cougars by a score of 42-34.
The Mabel-Canton volleyball team opened the season with a win at LeRoy-Ostrander on Thursday, Aug. 21. It was a straight-set match, 25-14, 25-14, 25-10.
The Canton Men's Softball League's postseason tournament crown came down to regular season champion Larson Well Drilling and runner-up Steuart Labs.
It's bad enough to have to open the new football season against the defending state champion (Chatfield), but to turn around and play a team that has been the powerhouse of Class AA, in the state (Caledonia), is more than any coach would want. But, as the saying goes, "It is what it is!"
The Lanesboro/Fillmore Central boys and girls cross-country squads are already running this week as they were scheduled to participate in the Stewartville Invitational at Bear Creek Park on Tuesday, Aug. 28.
Last year the Falcons finished the season with a 4-6 record, 3-5 in the Blue Division of the Southern Football Alliance (SFA). This season, in the last year of the SFA, Fillmore Central hopes to improve on that record, although it will have a tough start, traveling to Chatfield to take on the defending state champion Gophers.
The M-C Cougars graduated an outstanding class of netters last year, including three-time All-State and four-time SEC Player of the Year Belle Sand, three-time All SEC players Carly McCabe and Lydia Geving, and all-conference players Christine Lee and Sara Lind.
"We have good numbers this year," head coach Karl Urbaniak said. "We've got a lot of younger players, but it's a nice challenge.
With the Canton Men's Softball League championship already in the bag, Larson Well Drilling ended the regular season in dramatic fashion with Matt Erickson's walk-off home run.
Racing fans enjoyed five classes of dirt-digging action at Cresco Speedway on Sunday, Aug. 10, as the Upper Iowa Speedway series visited that city once again.

In Vulture's (quite excellent and insightful) recap of the latest episode of The New Girl, one sentence especially jumped out at me.
"Nick defends Julia as "one of those girls who doesn't have a lot of girlfriends because she thinks like a guy." Obviously, this is a huge red flag: Girls who don't like other girls are the worst, in the logic of New Girl and, also, in life.."
This is true, this is true, this is so damn true. (In general.)
Related: Girl Code and Dating: The Official Rules
Bad for Guys…
Guys, you might not really be bothered by a girl's lack of close female relationships: there's something really appealing about a low-maintenance girl who can hold her own with all your guy friends. But a girl who has no girl friends whatsoever should set off warning bells. (We don't mean a tomboy…tomboys have female friends! This is something more extreme.)
What is it about her that prevents her from being able to relate and befriend other women? Is attention from guys so important to her that she insists on surrounding herself with them at all times? Is being the girl who hangs with the boys a too-integral part of her identity? And, even if you aren't the jealous type, are you really going to be okay with her hanging out and confiding in other guys, night after night after night? Which is not to say that a woman can't have platonic male friends. But if you think she's using male attention to fulfill something, well, it's probably at least worth a talk.
Maybe it'll turn out that she's simply not that friendly, but she's a perfect girlfriend to you, which is ultimately all that really matters. A red flag isn't a "Do Not Pass Go"; it simply means slow down and proceed with caution. If you notice your girlfriend solely surrounds herself with men, you might want to ask yourself why.
Related: The 6 Types of Women Who Won't Make You Happy
Bad For Girls
Okay, let's not beat around the bush: for women who date men, women with no female friends are The Worst.
This is the woman who will have no qualms about flirting with the guy you've been talking to all night at the party.
This is the one who will break every rule of Girl Code.
This is the woman with whom your boyfriend will cheat on you, (not that it's her fault, it's his fault, of course).
This is the woman who won't ever set you up with her cute single friend, even though she isn't in love with him, even though she has a boyfriend.
This is the woman who is BFF with your boyfriend, but who will make absolutely no effort to befriend you. And you have tried.
This is the woman who is crazy territorial about the 6 or 7 guys she is BFF with, and will never attempt to include you in the group because there is only room for one woman in their lives.
This woman is kryptonite for your dating life, and though you might spend countless car rides home stewing about her to a guy, he will never, ever, see your point. "What, Kelly? I don't see why you hate her so much, she's nice!"
No, no, girls, stay away from this woman. Your dating life will be better for it.

This was a game of the two sides of London Wasps. Manful and brave in defence, they had an awful night with the ball in hand.
<1>With Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan estimating up to 30 turnovers conceded by his side, there was no way that Wasps were able to compete. Sale's tactics centred on the kicking game of Charlie Hodgson who ensured that Danny Cipriani, at full back for most of the game, had a torrid time and Wasps were, in truth, lucky to get away with only 16 points against them.
Wasps were unable to even get into Sale's half for the first 25minutes, and an almost continuous bombardment of up and unders from Hodgson had Cipriani struggling to gather the ball in the slippery conditions.
Hodgson used his field position to knock over two drop goals in the first quarter, so Wasps found themselves 6-0 behind before they had launched their first cohesive attack. Promising though it was, Eoin Reddan using the blind side to make ground and link up with David Doherty and Dan Leo to progress into Sale's 22, Reddan was adjudged to have knocked on at the base of a ruck just as Wasps were asking questions of their hosts.
<2r>A George Skivington charge down prompted Wasps next attack, and Tom Voyce caused problems for Sharks' defence with a mazy run. For his efforts Wasps were awarded a penalty, but though central it was a long way out and Dave Walder couldn't nail his attempt
Another Hodgson bomb into the 22 allowed Sale to mount a pick and drive onslaught on the Wasps line as the half came to a close, but despite the best efforts of back rowers Chris Jones and Magnus Lund Wasps held firm. Sharks scrum half Richard Wigglesworth had a wild attempt at a drop goal, knowing the penalty was coming, and when his attempt arced wide Hodgson stepped up to slot the three points himself and give his team a 9-0 lead at half time.
The start of the second half saw Wasps' best period. Cipriani's grubber through gave Wasps their initial position, and when Sale stood off Walder he jinked through into the 22. Leo and hooker Joe Ward carried well as the line grew closer, and both Fraser Waters and Riki Flutey found space, but Sale got a hand to Waters' pass and Flutey slipped as he stepped through the defence, allowing Sale to survive.
Though Hodgson missed with a long range penalty attempt that kept the scores at 9-0 with the clock on 50 minutes, Wasps were showing signs of getting back into the game. They were shortlived, and controversy came over the horizon for full back Cipriani.
<3>Wasps were on the front foot, but a promising attack sputtered out with another turnover and Sharks winger Oriol Ripol snaffled the ball up to counter-attack. As he kicked ahead Cipriani impeded him, and in the tangle of legs Ripol was floored. Cipriani was lucky to get away with a stern talking to by the referee, but Sale punished Wasps more severely. Hodgson kicked the penalty to the corner and from a well organised catch and drive Magnus Lund was over for the score.
Wasps came back with spirit, and from a line out Pat Barnard found a gap to dive for the line but was held up. Wasps attacking situation was again short-lived as a turnover allowed Sale to get back on the offence. Luckily Hodgson's diagonal kick for Ripol was too flat to cause Wasps problems, and his attempt at a third drop goal minutes later was also wide of the mark.
The fly half's kicking game continued to cause problems though. With Cipriani now at ten and Mark Van Gisbergen holding the fort at the back, he too had problems fielding the slippery ball and Wasps were again at sixes and sevens as the game entered the final ten minutes.
<4r>McGeechan's men continued to play with their heads up, but things just wouldn't go to plan. Riki Flutey's chip over was fielded by replacement Chris Mayor who set off on another dangerous counter attack, and twice Sale were within a whisker of touching down as their speed men chased balls into goal. Replacement No8 David Tait crashed over from a five metre scrum in the final minutes, but in grounding the ball he knocked on, the final whistle coming not too soon for the visitors,
Director of Rugby, Ian McGeechan pulled no punches in his assessment of Wasps mixed performance:
'We've been playing quite well in patches before today, but this was by far our worst performance. Today there are no excuses, we were just very poor.
'The score could have been a lot more, but I thought we defended well and all our good rugby was without the ball. But we were very, very poor in attack, you can't do that and expect to win games. Our turnover count must have been near 30 in this game.
Head Coach Shaun Edwards agreed:
'The turn over rate was astronomical, and there's only so much defending you can do. I thought the boys defended manfully but with Charlie Hodgson chipping away with drop goals and all the field position they had, in the end there was only one winner.
McGeechan added. 'I thought Sale's back row played well but no more than you'd expect in a Premiership game, and basically we didn't look after the ball when we had it in our hands.'
Commenting on the challenge ahead to climb back up the table following Wasps worst losing streak since 2002-3, he acknowledged:
<5>'Its tough, and we've got a mountain to climb now. We want to be top four at the end of the season, but we've given sides a head start and we can't afford to lose too many games from here on in.'
Asked what happens next, McGeechan said, 'We have to front up to it. The players know that, we don't have to tell them. We have to front up as a group, and prepare for the next game in eight days time.'

TUESDAY 4/22 UPDATEValley News Live contacted the Norman County Sheriff to obtain a copy of the dashcam video of this incident. In an e-mail received today, Sheriff Jeremy Thornton stated: "The video camera was not on during this incident. There is no video of the incident."THURSDAY 4/17 UPDATE
The suspect in an officer-involved shooting earlier this week made his first court appearance today. Steven Henderson, a 19-year-old from Fertile, Minnesota, appeared in Norman County Court Thursday morning.
Henderson is accused of shooting Norman County Sheriff's deputy Nathan Warner during a traffic stop on Tuesday morning. Court documents say Henderson is being held on four felony charges including 1st degree attempted murder of a peace officer, receiving stolen property, and bringing stolen goods into state. On Thursday morning, a judge set Henderson's bail at $1.5 million dollars.
Steven Henderson and his brother, William Henderson, were both arrested on Tuesday morning near Perley, Minnesota. William was taken into custody on outstanding warrants out of Pennington County.
Following that arrest, authorities say Steven Henderson shot Deputy Nathan Warner several times. The first shot hit Warner in the back, another hit Warner's radio on the front of his uniform. Henderson fled the scene and a two-hour manhunt followed. Authorities tracked Steven Henderson to an abandoned farmstead where he was taken into custody without incident.
Warner was wearing a bullet-proof vest at the time of the shooting and was treated and released from a Fargo hospital. He is expected to fully recover.
Investigators interviewed both of the Henderson brothers following the incident and their arrests. Steven Henderson said he and his brother, William, were traveling from Oklahoma. He says they stole the black pickup truck from either Nebraska or Kansas and found the hand gun in the glove box.
Henderson says he remembers talking with Deputy Warner and remembers his brother being put into the squad car, according to the criminal complaint. He goes on to say he doesn't remember shooting Warner and woke up in the wooded area with the hand gun laying next to him.
William Henderson tells investigators that he was traveling with his brother in a stolen vehicle and confirmed that he was arrested and placed in the back of Deputy Warner's police vehicle.
After he was placed in the back of the squad car, William says he saw Deputy Warner fall to the ground and heard gun shots. He tells investigators he saw his brother, Steven, shooting a hand gun at Deputy Warner and he believed both Steven and Deputy Warner fired their guns approximately 8 to 10 times.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has identified the suspect in an officer involved shooting that happened Tuesday morning in Norman County, Minnesota. Steven Anthony Henderson, 19, is being held in the Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston. His last known address is Fertile, Minnesota.
Law enforcement has arrested a man suspected of shooting a Norman County Deputy during a traffic stop Tuesday morning.
Clay County Sheriff Bill Bergquist tells Valley News Live police and deputies were able to take the suspect into custody in a wooded area northeast of Perley, Minnesota, about 10:30 a.m.
Bergquist says it all started when two men in a black Dodge pickup were pulled over for a traffic stop around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of County Road 39 & County Road 12.
One man had a warrant out for his arrest and was taken into custody. That man was sitting in the back of the sheriff's vehicle when the second man shot the deputy. The deputy was wearing a bullet resistant vest and returned fire, but the suspect fled in the vehicle.
About two hours later, shortly after 10:30 a.m., the black truck was spotted on an abandoned farmstead and a border patrol helicopter saw the suspect hiding in the woods.
Sheriff Bergquist says the suspect came out of the woods when directed, and was taken into custody without incident. The suspect has not yet been identified.
The injured deputy was taken to a Fargo hospital with non-life threatening injuries, authorities describe him as doing "okay." Bergquist tells Valley News Live the injured deputy's last day with Norman County was supposed to be Thursday, he is moving to another jurisdiction.
Valley News Team's Kristi Larson will have a live update to this story coming up on Valley News Live at noon on KX4. Stay tuned to Valley News Live and ValleyNewsLive.com for updates.

Rating: 86 Points (out of 100) Roasty aroma with mild smoky, earthy and caramel-like notes. Full, silky body, simple flavors of charred wood and fresh tobacco. Dry roasty note in finish, with some astringency that fades and rounds in the long. – Kenneth Davids, CoffeeReview.com, January 2009
Some professionals need to approach their jobs slowly and with a great deal of care. Like tightrope walkers. Or brain surgeons. Or tattoo artists. At Tully's®, the same holds true for creating great coffee. It takes a lot of time and patience, which is why we slow roast our coffee beans to gently coax out the complex flavors and aromas. With roots in the Pacific Northwest, where coffee is a way of life, we take our time in roasting and in training each master roaster in our artisanal approach. From the aroma to the full-bodied flavor, you can taste the time taken in every satisfying cup of Tully's. Now we invite you to take your time discovering it.

k cup coffee perfection
By Swhabby
from Saskatchewan, Canada
About Me Coffee Connoisseur
Comments about Tully's Coffee K-Cup Tullys Italian Roast:
I am a self professed coffee snob. The last thing I ever want is a bad cup of coffee. To me that is any cup that's not great. This attitude was amplified when two years ago when I went to Portugal. After tasting their incredible coffee, I became even more of a snob. Everything was then, at best, good, but not what I had in Portugal. Until now. This is it. Set your Keurig to either the smallest or middle setting and enjoy coffee at its best.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not recommended
By Coffee me Steve
from Colorado
About Me Average Joe, Coffee Connoisseur
We've tried multiple different K-cup flavors, and Tully's is by far the least desirable. If you want a good Italian Roast, try the Barista Prima version. It is a little darker, and MUCH more flavorful. This one is just lacking something. Not recommended.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

One of the best if not the best K-cup coffee i have bought. Even though it is Xtra Bold, it is not overly acidic. Strong yet smooth.
By Jack

I start my morning with 2 k-cups & like a strong, bold taste. I have been trying a new extra bold with every club order, but I have now found a new favorite. This hold its taste even as I brew the largest mug size.

Re: Need data for research
Hi Corrine, I have been reading these past posts and came across this one. I don't know if this info about my family will help. However, I had gestational diabetes with all of my children, my last child had an hemangioma on his right middle finger that covered the upper tip of his finger that ended up going away by the time he was two; he was also born with hypospadia as well as has Long QT syndrome; my oldest son, the placenta abrupted and he was born 7 weeks early,he has long QT syndrome, my oldest daughter has an AVM of her right hand and forearm involving both her bones and muscles (she does not present as having long qt syndrome).
Hemangiomas run in our family. My grandmother had one in the middle of her forehead. One niece had a hemangioma on her back; a nephew had a cavernous hamangioma on his upper arm; another nephew had a hemangioma on his arm. I don't know how much of a genetic link there is to all of that, but it seems like there might be some kind of connection. By the way, the Long QT syndrome comes down on my husbands side of the family. The nieces and nephews that have had hemangiomas are also on my husbands side of the family.
I hope that info helped with help with your study. Talk with you later, Sarah
