Denny Dorrel was introduced as Bluffton University's new head football coach on Thursday afternoon at a press conference in front of local media outlets, university employees, and current players.
Dorrel comes to Bluffton from Hanover College in Indiana, a rival within the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC). At Hanover, Dorrel served as defensive coordinator. He is also a 2001 graduate of Hanover. Last season, Hanover finished one game in front of Bluffton in both HCAC play (5-3 vs. 4-4) and in overall record (5-5 vs. 4-6).
Dorrel said that as a head coach, "the main goal is to graduate players, period." Bluffton University Athletics Director, Phill Talavinia, said that this was one of the factors that stood out about Dorrel to the search committee for a new head coach. Talavinia said that the search committee was impressed with Dorrel's organization and passion, along with his "focus on the student-athletes as being students first; completing their education, and winning both in life and on the field."
"From this point forward…you are going to see a passionate program," Dorrel said. Dorrel said that his players will be individuals who are energetic, who fly around, and who do things the right way. Dorrel also expressed that he wants the football program to be "heavily involved in the community and the campus itself."
Dorrel expressed that he is excited to get started on getting the program "where we all expect it to be, which is winning championships." He went on to say that "we are so excited to take Bluffton University football to unprecedented heights."
Dorrel said that his coaching style and philosophy originates from the personalities of his parents. "My father was very tough…and demanding," said Dorrel. Dorrel said that his father demanded discipline and understood how those traits could be positive when raising a young man. On the other hand, Dorrel explained that his mother was a very nurturing person "who would let you know how important you are." "I combine those two (personalities) very well, I'm a perfect mixture of my parents," Dorrel said.
"Bluffton football, from now on, is all going to be about family," Dorrel said.
Dorrel has also served in previous coaching roles at Marietta College in Ohio and Thomas More College in Kentucky, but Bluffton is his first head coaching role at the college level. Dorrel is filling the open head football coaching vacancy at Bluffton due to the departure of Tyson Veidt, who held the position since 2008. Veidt accepted the position of linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Toledo earlier this year. Veidt posted an overall record regular season record of 20-40 as head coach at Bluffton, but was 17-15 in HCAC play since 2010. Despite a winning record in conference play since 2010, four of Veidt's losses in that span came against Hanover.
Originally from Brookville, Ind., Dorrel said that he felt like Bluffton was home on the day he drove into town for his interview. Dorrel is married to his wife, Sarah, they have three children.

Unit Tests Don't Find Bugs: the Death of QA
Unit tests don't find bugs. They find regressions. This is a painful lesson I learned when I first started doing TDD (test-driven development), and it's well known among most TDD circles.
TDD's goal is to prevent programmers from introducing new bugs into working code. However, when you're writing code from scratch, your tests won't help you find all the bugs in your code. That's because you can't possibly write tests for all the ways your software will be used (or abused). When I first started doing TDD, I had really good tests, but I was too tired to do much exploratory QA. However, my boss wasn't, and I was very embarrassed to find that my software had lots of bugs. Simply put, he used my software in ways that I hadn't intended.
I've seen a lot of companies that don't bother writing any tests or doing any QA. They just let their users find all the bugs. Needless to say, I've never had respect for those companies.
However, it's growing more and more popular to destaff the QA department and just require engineers to write lots and lots of tests. Often, these are in the form of unit tests. Even though integration tests can conceivably catch more bugs, they take much longer to run. Hence, even integration tests are often deprioritized.
What I'm discovering is that a lot of projects have both lots of unit tests and lots of bugs. These are bugs that could have been found manually by a QA engineer, but it seems that manual QA testing (i.e. exploratory testing) has gone out of vogue.
I used to think that code that was well-documented, well-styled, well-tested, and code reviewed would rarely have bugs. Sadly, I no longer believe that to be the case. I think we need to go back to the days when we had decently-sized QA departments, perhaps in addition to all the other things we do.
To tweak what Knuth said, "Beware of the above code. I have only tested that it works. I haven't actually tried it."

Good article. I hope you have your flame suit on. The TDD zealots won't like this at all.
Shouldn't the title be about the need to resurrect QA, though? I've found that QA testers also are the best people to turn to when trying to understand the use cases on a project that I've just joined.
I believe that integration tests that cover the known use cases should be written first. In addition to finding bugs in the code they find problems with integration which is where a lot of bugs are.

I agree with the article. We have both JUnit tests and a GUI-based tester. We also write tests first, before writing code. But I agree it will never be perfect.
Recently someone added code and wrote tests using PowerMock. OMG, how many hours did I waste on that. "On no - you're now calling a method 3 times instead of the predicted 2." "Unexpected call to method... with an object ID which is different to the one predicted..." Not to mention the way the Classes and Methods are mocked to do death, so in the end you're only testing the code, not the context as well.
Arthur Gorr replied on Wed, 2012/10/31 - 7:59am
There are more benefits to TDD besides regression testing.
Practicing TDD encourages separation of concerns, I could go on.
I consider the biggest benefit of TDD to be that the tests are "first consumer" of the code.
This is not a flame, just a reminder that TDD is not strictly about preventing regressions. In my opinion the regression testing benefit is secondary.
Sarah Goff-dupont replied on Wed, 2012/10/31 - 10:57am
Agreed, Shannon. Unit tests are a great sanity-check, but most bugs live in the integration points between different modules of your application - or integration points between you and a 3rd party service/app. Viva la integration tests! And we still need skilled QA engineers to identify those places and put their creative-thinking skills to use imagining & writing tests for the ways they will get exercised. (...and abused, as you say.) Yes, integration tests take longer to run, but that's where test multi-threading and/or parallel-running test jobs really save the day. My team was able to reduce a 30-minute job to 8 minutes this way.
Nilesh Thali replied on Wed, 2012/10/31 - 1:41pm
you're absolutely right about TDD not helping you find all the bugs in your software, but i'm flogging a dead TDD horse when i say that TDD is primarily meant to improve the design of your software, not provide test coverage (a useful by-product), so when (not if) you find those bugs in your code, you will hopefully be able to isolate it to the 5-line method in a small, well-designed single responsibility (more or less) class, which caused it, instead of a 500 line method in a 2000 line class doing everything.

Ben Emmett replied on Thu, 2012/11/01 - 1:51pm
Agreed - unit tests and testers find different sorts of problem. We write a lot of unit tests, but we also have a lot of testers (about 1 tester for every 1 – 2 developers) who are essential for finding ui glitches, workflow problems, etc. We separately use an automated error reporting system to let users send in details if an application crashes, which helps us find the bugs which unit testing is unlikely to catch and which get missed by QA. It means we usually find out about any nasty bugs within a few days of shipping and can fix it a lot faster than waiting for customers to complain. A tester I work with wrote about it at http://www.simple-talk.com/blogs/2011/09/08/smartassembly-error-reporting-with-the-bug-finding-power-of-more-than-20-testers/
Nilesh Thali replied on Thu, 2012/11/01 - 2:05pm in response to: Marc Stock
not the only way, but a really great way, Marc.
and by your second statement, if you're inferring that there are people who are already writing really, really good cohesive do-one-thing-well kind of code, then i can still think of no good reason not to do it in TDD fashion.
Lund Wolfe replied on Sun, 2012/11/04 - 12:47am
If you have a problem with failing unit tests then you need unit tests. If QA testers are finding real bugs or customers are reporting bugs then you need QA testers. If the quality of the design/code is a problem, then deal with it at that level. Do what works in your environment to catch bugs early.
Guillermo Cruz replied on Sun, 2012/11/04 - 5:45am
I can see the point in each of these postings, IMHO what I dont see is a mention of UML. Starting projects from way back at a use case level and bringing it to an Activity Diagram and so on in UML, will help flush out the most overlooked potential bugs. Yes even as porgrammers we should be UML savvy, it's not just for analysts anymore. I love TDD but even UML simple class diagrams help you see the BIG picture before writting a unit test case. Taking a Class, Activity or Object diagram and stitching it together with Scotch Tape and hanging it in your cubicle wall will work wonders. Being able to see and confer with your collegues gives everyone a better understanding of the System under design. Now with Unit Testing, Integration testing, Developer load testing(JMeter), and QA testing everyone can go home and enjoy the weekend.
Jean Said replied on Tue, 2012/11/06 - 8:39am
TDD is not the absolute solution to detect bugs. The best solution so far is to integrate QA into the developer team. QA can then do the exploratory testing, and the developer can assist them really early in the development cycle. And when the reproducible datasets are already there, it's a breeze to automate the tests scenarios. Of course you cannot detect every possible issue, but you can try to detect most.
A Scrum teacher told people in my company that the developers are the most qualified persons to test their own code. I say bullshit. A pressured developer is focused on achieving the main, written features. Most developers I've been working with are not focused on details and we cannot always foresee what the end users, or the external systems will do in real life. We imagine secondary scenarios, but these are not often the right ones.Any external, non-developer early feedback and ideas are highly welcomed and valuable.
Jean Said replied on Tue, 2012/11/06 - 8:52am in response to: Guillermo Cruz
UML is mostly a Mighty Architect thing, not a developer thing. And yes, you get the big picture, the usually big, utterly wrong and unrealistic picture.
UML is a communication tool, not a programming tool. If you need to communicate design patterns, ideas and complicated processes or activities, it's the right tool. If you need UML to develop your classes, I'd rather hire another coder who does actual code rather than do beautiful pictures.
UML is no silver bullet and unless my UML schemas are about components, processes or deployment, QA will not care about it.
UML does not cure cancer and will not erase your bugs from earth.

OMG, NO! Manual QA is a monstrosity that systematically cripples your ability to create a high frequency feedback loop with customers. Aggressive continuous deployment pipelines will destroy the manual testing model in a side-by-side competition every time. When you start piling up manual tests, you'll be forced you into longer and longer release cycles. If you aren't capable of releasing multiple times a day, you are inevitably heading down a road to producing crappy, expensive software that would wilt under real competition.
It sounds like your problem is that you aren't doing TDD well. Unit tests are once facet of TDD, but if that's all you are relying on, you're crippling your efforts. The TDD strategy that high velocity continuous delivery shops use is a mixed BDD and unit testing strategy. BDD tests the user stories as stated in the voice of the customer. Unit tests are a secondary form of testing which have an internal developer focus: they assure APIs are clean, they prevent regressions, and they enable refactoring. Fundamentally, though, it's the BDD tests that achieve quality.
Most "bugs" actually don't violate any perviously stated acceptance criteria, and so we should view fixing them as a prioritization decision against competing features. The actual users of the software will make better decisions than QA people who live in a bubble every time on this. There should only be one voice of the customer giving input on prioritization and if that isn't literally the customer, you've created a strategic deficiency in your software development process.
If you ship lots of tiny releases and have good feedback mechanisms from users, and use feature flags to confine exposure of new functionality, you'll have an experience sooner or later where you ship something that breaks unstated needs, and you add the acceptance criteria or story and it gets prioritized to "right now" and you fix it same day while the feature flag is still set to the beta users group. After this happens, you'll look on big QA as the wasteful monstrosity that it is. Nobody that I know that has tried this model ever goes back.

Mail away DNA
The food and drug administration has ordered DNA testing company, 23 and me, to stop selling its over-the- counter DNA test kit.
They say the tests are being marketed illegally to diagnose diseases and there's no proof they're accurate.
It's the same kit we used in our story, "Mail Away DNA." As Channel 3's Kathryn Daniel reports, these tests are gaining popularity since they can help determine health risks and even trace family history.
A few years back, morning anchor, Jared Willets, was hit with a tough diagnosis.
"For the great majority of my life, I've been perfectly healthy and then one day at 57, you know, I was told, you have a really nasty prostate cancer. Where did that come from?"
Within months, both of his brothers would face the same aggressive cancer.
"Well gee, what other genetic surprises might there be down the line?"
Enter the 23 and me "spit kit." After making the necessary deposit, Jared mails it away.
In about a month, Jared's genetic map will return, 240 health conditions and traits identified, which diseases he's at risk for, and not.
Jared knows very little about his family medical history, and is looking for answers, albeit lightheartedly.
"And things I can blame on my genes you see. Honey, it's my genes."
A month later, Jared's results are in via e-mail.
Wellness expert, Doctor Kenneth Mitchell, goes over the report. One section is locked, that one contains Jareds' risk for four conditions.
Dr. Kenneth mitchell/wellness expert; "One is for breast cancer, one is for Alzheimer's, one is for Parkinson's and the other is a rare neurological condition for which there is no cure."
Jared can unlock the info if he wants too. He admits to getting a little worried.
"For a second I did, whats up with this?"
The news is good, Jared is at less than average risk for all four conditions.
"I was really concerned honestly about the Alzheimer's thing. My dad was kind of in and out of it toward the end there."
He was also interested to learn about his risk for pancreatic cancer. More good news, it's very low.
"My sister had it and they don't know why, so I felt good about that."
The test shows Jared has a high risk for prostate cancer, a condition he's already beaten, and for lung and stomach cancer.
Doctor Mitchell says knowing that, Jared should get a yearly chest x-ray and pay close attention for prolonged bouts of digestive trouble.
Mitchell says he thinks that in the next decade or two, newborns will leave the hospital with similar DNA Information.
"Here is the blueprint of your child, here are the things that you need to look for an watch for."
Which will lead to more tailored screenings.
"A lot of the testing will be targeted based on risk. I think your surveillance for the various cancers is gonna be based on whether you have the gene for that."
Jared says if he had known sooner, he would've been more vigilant about prostate screenings. But now he can arm his 22-year-old son with that knowledge so he can begin checking earlier in his life.
There were a few surprises in the results.
"I think what struck me the most is how much neanderthal is coursing through my veins."
Three-point-seven percent cave man to be exact, much higher than the average human.
Jared has some famous distant relations: Stephen Colbert and everyone's favorite Parrot Head, Jimmy Buffet.
"At a concert, Jimmy, Jimmy, it's Cousin Jared, 800 times removed."
Jared's DNA strands indicate longevity, Mitchell says he should live well into old age pretty healthily.
"A little bit of a lark and a little bit of science and it was kinda fun."

The Three to Watch
by Charles Lemos, Wed Sep 26, 2012 at 05:27:05 PM EDT
Since 1960, no one has won the Presidency without winning two of these three states: Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Combined these three states account for 67 Electoral College Votes, one less than they did in the 2008 election (Florida gained two ECVs while Ohio lost two and Pennsylvannia one). Nonetheless these three states, traditionally swing states, account for nearly a quarter of the total needed to win the Presidency.
Polls so far have put Obama far ahead in Pennsylvania so much that the Romney campaign seems to have conceded the Keystone state spending effectively little money. A landslide margin is considered to be ten points. In Pennsylvania, Obama has maintained this margin consistently throughout the summer. The current polls show give the President a twelve point lead.
Ohio and Florida have from the start of this electoral cycle been seen as tough battleground states where the contest would be won or lost. The latest Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News now point to widening leads for the President approaching landslide margins in both states. In Ohio, Obama leads Romney by ten points and in the even more critical Florida contest Obama leads by nine.
I think there are number of reasons why the President is doing well but in Ohio and Florida, two of those reasons are John Kasich and Rick Scott, the respective Tea Party governors of these two rich electoral prizes.
The election remains as it has been for quite some time. A close election nationally in terms of the overall popular vote but continuing to move in Obama's direction in the Electoral College as voters in the battleground swing states continue to favor the President. In some of these states, the margin is within the margin of error but in Florida and Ohio, it is clearly not. And if Romney can't reverse this trend in these two states, he might as well start writing his concession speech.
It is clearly too early for Obama to write his victory speech but when that time comes a shout out to Kasich and Scott is clearly in order.

The Purpose of the Girl Scout Cookie Program
The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls develop a wide range of life-long business skills such as:
- Goal setting
- Decision making
- Money management
- People skills
- Business ethics
The Cookie Program also generates revenue to support Girl Scouting in the 26 counties of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC). The Cookie Program is the main source of revenue for troops and also comprises approximately 63% of the revenue for GSSJC. All funds earned by the Cookie Program remain in our Council. No money is allocated to Girl Scouts of the USA, our national organization. Revenues from the sale are used to provide Girl Scouting to girls from all backgrounds and walks of life. The Cookie Program also allows us to provide financial assistance for girls, offer quality program activity opportunities to girls, maintain our camps and properties and deliver needed adult and girl trainings.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program empowers a girl with the strength, abilities and drive to become an accomplished woman who benefits herself, her family and the world.
Many successful business women and community leaders say they got their start taking orders for and delivering Girl Scout Cookies. So when your local Girl Scouts come calling with this year's best=selling cookies, remember you are saying hello to tomorrow's business leaders.

Appearance: Deep chocolate brown with a thin tannish head which wuickly dissipates. So dark almost no light penetrates. No real carbonation visible.
Aroma: Roasted malt, coffee, dark caramel notes. Slight alochol scent noted. Smells close to a stout. Rich & hearty...
Taste: Sweet, chocolatey flavor with slight fruity balance. Coffee noted in the beginning but fades in the middle & finish. Minor hop flavor detected in the finish as well.
Mouthfeel: Thin to medium bodied. Low carbonation. Although I expected a thicker mouthfeel, this left a nice clean, crisp impression. Nice feeling...
Drinkability: High. Light, clean taste lends to a high drinkability.
Comments: This is a great beer when looking for something with a little more body but not overly heavy. As a fan of porters, I enjoyed this. Smooth & very flavorful without being too stodgy. Good effort from Boulder Beer Co.!

Pours a dark black, some light as red hues are seen from the side of the glass held to light. Carbonationa and head high for a porter, though not a detractor.
Deep roasted malt, not special dark. Full bodied malt, this. Surprised the ABV is so low, this should be a malt bomb.
Interesting dry finish. Initial roasted malt is not as protrusive as smell would indicate. Am wanting more malt.
Just below medium bodied. Could use some additional depth. Just under well balanced.
I could have a 6 of these. WOuldnt seek out, but would certainly have on draft.

The Planet Porter pours dark black with a fizzy brown head that quickly goes down to a collar around the glass and then disappears completely.
It smells of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee.
It is very thin and watery and under-carbonated. The flavor is roasted malt and chocolate with a bitter finish, but it has a pretty strong metallic/acidic taste to it.
I've had this before and remember liking it better than this time. I was pretty disappointed with it.

First bottle from a 12 bottle sampler box. This pours a dark and opaque body with a faint wisp of a beige head that quickly disappears without leaving any lacing. The aroma has dark roasted maltiness, mostly chocolate with a hint of coffee. Creamy mouthfeel is medium bodied with even carbonation. Taste features cocoa, fruity plum, and some coffee bitterness. Very little hops presence. An average porter, overall, but nicely drinkable.

12oz. amber bottle courtesy of AKSmokedPorter. No apprent freshness dating.
Poured a dark, dark brown, almost black color with a thick off-white head. Lasting head laces the glass. Aromas are nice, with Hershey's cocoa powder and soft coffee notes. Flavor is a let-down. There is some "porter-like" flavor. A mix of chocolate, caramel, and a dash of smoke. Nothing really leaps out. Very thin and almost flat. Drinkable...but only barely. Many better porters out there.

A.-this porter is a rich, thick and dark color with a faint amber tone in the light. not a very thick head 3/4 on a text book pour..although good retention time with litle lace in a thick glass mug.
S.-the initial aroma was heavy in malt and a little nutty.
T.the initial taste was simular to smell, rich malt and a oaky/nutty taste. the after taste throws in a hint of coffee. well balanced overall.
M.-@ 43* is was a good mouthfeel, very bubbly and alive .
D.-drinkability is good for a very rich and thick porter. gose down smooth. a very ballanced porter. i would recomend a try

This is an entirely enjoyable porter, in the manner of a good Creedence Clearwater Revival song. It may not be groundbreaking, or cool, or thrilling, or even tasteful, but it's undeniably solid and it delivers on every level. Chocolatey and substantial without being cloying or thick, it's, by and large, sweet with a cheery citrus hop element that provides definition but never draws attention to itself. Lots of dark chocolate, caramel, some mousse, and a hint of vanilla. Maple syrup flavors induce memories of chilly, pine-scented mornings. It's simple, plain, filling, satisfying. Whoever tsk-tsks at this fine brew has probably been drinking too many imperials and may need to downshift a couple gears before their palates and livers are totally shot... I kid. But this beer shouldn't be as overlooked as that dusty copy of "Chronicle" nestled in between CSN's first record and that shitty Counting Crows album that you haven't listened to since you broke up with what's-her-name.

Brown pour, dark brown that is, but there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of heft to it, just a thinner beer with brown color to it, head formed less than 1/2". Aroma was roasty yet a tad bit too dilute for my preferences.
Chocolate malt, brown malt, toffee, a bit of bitterness with no hop edge or mouthfeel to it. Some sweetness, not over the top, a stickier feel to it than I would have suspected given the thinness in appearance and mouthfeel, it just has a sticky presence, but still lacks a little heft.
Tastes like a decent porter from a homebrew kit with nothing exotic going on. Worthy enough, but wouldn't pay more than $8 a 6er of this stuff, especially if there's some Black Butte around for the same price.

Another example of Boulder re-naming their beers way too often.
Quite dark brown in color and almost opaque in appearance. Laces in broad clumps. Malty toffee-ish aroma. Flavor starts chocolate but by mid mouth, the beer rings a watery and slightly phenolic Band-Aid bell. Recovers somewhat in the finish, a bit of a candy sense and pleasant malt tones in the aftertaste. Starts OK, but soon becomes awfully light-bodied. Nothing terribly wrong but nothing to make me choose this one over the many more interesting Porters on the shelves.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer pours a deep dark black body that is to opaque to see any carbonation but the head is a thin light tan creamy film that soon dissipates.
S- The notes of earthiness and dark grain are blended with a slight prune note and a faint hop spice in the finish.
T- This beer has a smooth dark malt flavor with a nice tangy dark fruit note in the finish. The finish has a very soft spicy quality that is probably hops but it also has a slight off tangy quality.
M- The mouthfeel is medium-light with a slight fizzy quality. There is a creaminess in the texture aswell.
D- This porter has some different qualities like dark fruit and tanginess that I'm not sure about. The add some different qualities to the beer but they are slightly off.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter. Enjoy by Mar 21 2013.
A: Pours a darkish brown appearing black in the glass with a 1/2 finger light khaki head. Light is able to penetrate through the sides of the glass when held up to the light. Lacing is above average.
S: Not a good sign when my first whiff makes me question freshness, and upon question appears to be a few days past its prime. Fermented fruits and coffee grounds seem to dominate. Hints of chocolate and vanilla in the sweetness. Metallic tones set it off in the wrong direction.
T: Has a decent flavor to it, a smooth blend of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. Non offensive middle of the road porter.
M: Just a bit on the watery side for a porter. Pretty easy drinking just feels a little thin.
Overall I can only imagine how tasty this would of been in 1975 when the recipe was developed. Has since fallen a few paces behind the crowd but is still a pleasant drinking experience.

Wow...this stuff is damn near opaque....if I didn't know better I'd think it was Guinness Extra Stout....poured very dark, not much head (probably my fault)..slight smell of burnt rubber, molasses...and well... actually the taste reminded me of burnt rubber and molasses but not in a bad way, it's just not compelling in a good way. Mouthfeel is nice and drinkability okay.
Lessee...this is not bad, it just ain't pushin' my button..it's like it's a little unbalanced or somethng, like some flavors going in odd directions.
Edit: I cracked another one and gave it more of an ambitious pour and got good head, the beer wasn't bad either, lacing is very good, and taste is better than I gave it credit for the first time...I am raising my taste # a notch.

Poured from a 12oz. brown bottle into a pint glass, served at cellar temperature.
Apperance is exceptional. It has a deep dark brown color, lots of white foamy head, great retention and lacing.
Aroma is roasty malts, chocolate, and a touch of coffee.
Taste is also nicely balanced with plenty of three flavors mentioned above, not overly sweet or bitter.
Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, almost like it was poured from a cask. It's not too bitter, really well-rounded. A touch too thin.
Drinkability is excellent - it would be a great session beer on a cool autumn night.
Overall, a great beer that I expected to score higher. It has all the characteristics a porter should and that head just won't go away! It's creamy and delicious.
Note: I think it really helped that I had this one warm. Flavors seem to meld together well and the texture is just right.

From the fist pour this looks great very dark not quite black but darn close, low tan head didn't stay all that long but did leave nice lacing. Smelled like not a whole lot some malt no hops. Taste chocolaty with some faint coffee with a nice full smooth mouth feel to back it up. A very drinkable beer at least from cask have not had the bottle version so hard to say all around?

Planet Porter pours the darkest brown with gorgeous mahogany hues capped by a creamy tan head. This beer refuses to let any light pass through it. It leaves a nice lace behind.
The aroma is roasted malt with a slight bitterness. The flavor profile is dominated by the roasted malt with hints of coffee and spice and a dry finish.
This classic American porter pairs perfectly with smokey American bar-b-que pork.

2.73/5 rDev -20.6%
A - Black brew with a small brown head that eventually recedes to a cap with good duration. Some spotty lace coats the glass.
S - Cold coffeee and chocolate along with some steely hops and soy sauce. Lots of roasted cereal grains are there too.
T - Twangy and sour hop sting and a big dark roasty chracter make for a somewhat puckery brew. Sweet chocolate notes try to keep the old black coffee roastyness and sourness in balance, but they don't quite do the job. Salty.
M - A bit thinner than I like my porters to be. Wet, salty, and lightly carbonated. Not so good.
D - Decent. Not a bad porter. But not a good one either.

Boulder Planet Porter
12 oz. bottle
Although only eight days away from the end of the freshness date, the beer seemed in pretty good shape. There was a minor bit of oxidation but it wasn't to the point that it would distract you.
The appearance was quite good, with a frothy head of dark tan above an almost-black dark-mahogany body, and large rings of sticky lace.
In the aroma you'll find mainly cocoa and sugar, but there's some chocolate beyond that as well, and if you really look for it, some fruitiness as well.
As is usually the case, the flavor follows the aroma, however there's more chocolate than cocoa here, a bit of roastiness, more molasses than sugar, and the fruitiness is much clearer. It's berry-like, leaning more toward the juicy side than the tart, and it cuts through the dark malt giving it a nice counter-balance. Some citrusy hops swirl in the background, and to be honest, probably add to the fruitiness. The bitterness is kept in check, and it finishes dry, yet surprisingly short - which is OK, that just leaves you ready for another sip.
Overall it's an impressively balanced and solidly made porter. It's basic, yes, but it's got just enough interesting stuff going on to make it work as a session ale. Certainly worth trying.

South Korean newspapers are reporting that Samsung Electronics stole icons from Apple and Microsoft to create the user interface of its latest cell phones. Samsung's first response was to tell some Korean media outlets that the designs were "inspired" by other technology companies' products. Sure, if by "inspired" Samsung meant copied pixel for pixel, as postings on a Korean-language Mac bulletin board showed. A Samsung design executive later conceded that mistakes were made, and Samsung recalled its Skin phones from stores in South Korea, the only market in which it was on sale, and offered buyers downloadable updates to replace the offending graphics.
Is the telecom boom back? Following rumors of a deal, Level 3 has acquired ICG, an operator of Colorado and Ohio fiber networks, for $163 million. The Rocky Mountain News says one driver of the acquisition is the continuing growth of the wireless business, since wireless calls and data are carried from cell towers to wired networks. Telcos are also considering expanding international fiber links, after years with a glut of capacity on the market. After overbuilding in the 1990s led to a telecom boom and bust, says Business 2.0 senior writer Om Malik, we may be heading into a period of balance between telecom supply and demand --a situation which will be good for both telecom suppliers and consumers.

RW doing what RW does. Thunder Rout Bulls 92-78.
If KLove wasn't in the MVP conversation before, I think this shows that he should be. I'd say the same about RW, but he's got some guy named Durant on his team. Very impressive stats nonetheless.
KLove nets 51 points. RW answers with 45 in a OKC Thunder double overtime victory. Any questions?
Monday night, Kevin Love dropped 39 and 17 on "Lob City" in a TWolves victory over the Clippers, which followed his January 20th dagger 3 at the buzzer in Los Angeles. Last night Jordan Farmar did likewise, burying the Clippers from deep in New Jersey.
Kevin Durant goes off for a career high 51 points to combine with Russell Westbrook's 40 in the Thunder's 124-118 OT win over Arron Afflalo's Nuggets. AA had 27 points to lead Denver.
"He always gets this label of being selfish," Perkins said. "He's not that at all. The one thing about Russ is he's a scoring point guard, and that's what we need him to be. That's why this team has been successful because he does what he does. "The thing that bothers me … is Derrick Rose is not a true point guard, he is a scoring point guard, but nobody gets on Derrick Rose like they get on Russ."
The Minnesota Timberwolves and star forward Kevin Love have at last reached terms on a contract extension, according to sources close to the situation, beating Wednesday's midnight ET deadline. To do so, Minnesota had to grant Love a player option in the final year of a four-year deal worth in excess of $60 million, sources said.
Live open thread tracking Christmas Day NBA action featuring Russell Westbrook and other Bruin alums.
AK: What drew you to UCLA? Afflalo: I just wanted to stay home. At the time, UCLA was going through a transition period from [Steve] Lavin to Coach [Ben] Howland. They were kind of in some rough times, so just the idea of coming back in and restoring some of that rich tradition that UCLA had. Being one of the main reasons UCLA got back to prominence after being down a few years, it was really fun for me. To do it right here in my backyard was really cool.

Bryan represented at U.S. State Department event
June 29, 2010
Dr. Ron Petitte, professor of politics and government and director of the Center for Leadership Initiatives, was invited to attend the June 14 ceremony of the Secretary of State's release of the 2010 Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP). Also invited were representatives from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), including the International Justice Mission (IJM). It was a distinct honor for Bryan College to be included among organizations that are actively engaged in the fight against human trafficking. The event was held in the Benjamin Franklin Room at the Department of State in Washington, DC.
In attendance with Dr. Petitte were Bryan alumni Valerie Petitte, '03, a registered nurse and qualified nurse practitioner, and Stepheny Petitte, '09. Stepheny was recently commissioned by IJM to serve as a post graduate intern, working to combat human trafficking in England, an internship that the State Department acknowledged is extremely difficult to receive.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton described her department's report as providing "in-depth assessments and recommendations for 177 countries, some of whom are making great progress toward abolishing the illicit trade in human beings. Others are still doing too little to stem the tide. But behind these statistics on the pages are the struggles of real human beings, the tears of families who may never see their children again, the despair and indignity of those suffering under the worst forms of exploitation. And through this report we bear witness to their experience and commit ourselves to abolishing this horrible crime."
Dr. Petitte is appreciative, not only for Secretary Rodham-Clinton's comments, but for her unwavering support of U.S. efforts to combat human trafficking. "She has been a warrior in this struggle,' he stated, "dating back to former President Clinton's administrations and was foremost among those campaigning for President in 2008 in committing to support the on-going efforts of the U.S. Department of State to monitor and combat human trafficking. This commitment was evidenced by the fact that for the first time since the TIP Report has been published that the United States is monitoring its own activities by voluntarily being included, along with the 176 other countries on report." Dr. Petitte made clear that this struggle requires a nonpartisan effort, one in which all political voices, as well as all religious faiths, must stand together to combat the most horrific scourge known to man since the Holocaust was unleashed in the last century. "Human trafficking," Dr. Petitte described, "is the 21st Century Holocaust."
Bryan's Fight Against Human TraffickingBryan's participation in the fight against human trafficking began in earnest with the April 2007 Commoner Forum, featuring activist and journalist, Christine Dolan, to alert students to the spectre of human trafficking. This forum was followed by a national conference, "Human Trafficking: Slavery in the 21st Century," hosted by Bryan in January 2008, to which the U.S. State Department sent its representative, Dr. Abraham Lee, a lawyer and former missionary, to speak. In January 2009 Bryan hosted its first international conference, "The Criminal Justice Response to Human Trafficking," supported once again by the Department of State, as well as by the United Kingdom's New Scotland Yard, which sent one of its top detectives from the "Operation Maxim Human Trafficking Team" to speak; and IJM sent representatives to work with students.
Bryan will host its second international conference, "International Human Rights: Freedom from Persecution," November 3-7, 2010, to monitor and combat human trafficking, as well as to highlight abuses that the persecuted church is suffering worldwide. New Scotland Yard is doubling its participation; and the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom is sending Dr. Paul Marshall, noted human rights advocate and author. In addition, the State Department and IJM representatives have been invited once again to participate. Bryan's students who are part of the nationwide effort to combat trafficking, Students Stopping the Trafficking of People (SSTOP), will lead events on the last two days of the conference. Bryan established one of the first SSTOP chapters in the country shortly after the 2007 Commoner Forum.
The Center for Leadership Initiatives, which sponsors all forum activities and is an integral component of the Bryan Institute for Critical Thought & Practice, has led these initiatives to monitor and combat human trafficking. By sponsoring these events, Bryan seeks to increase critical awareness and to state unequivocally that "Slavery in our time must cease." The prophet Micah instructs us as he lays out clearly what our Lord God Yahweh requires of us: "To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with our God." (6:8). This is our mission; this is our calling. Please, join us November 3-7!

Grand Slam tournament angler boats 64.6-pound kingfishWednesday, May 11th, 2011
Scott Adams was fishing for big fish with a big bait when he finally caught the heaviest fish of Saturday's 16th annual Grand Slam KDW Tournament.
But it wasn't as simple and predictable as it sounds.
Adams and friends fishing on the 41-foot Bahama AD/HD were 85 feet of water off Lost Tree Village and were just about to pull in their lines to run back to the weigh-in when Adams noticed something odd.
Most of the line was missing from one of the reels holding a live speedo suspended from a fishing kite.
"We just kind of looked back and it was smoking us," said Adams, who rigged his speedo with about 5 feet of No. 6 wire leader and a pair of 6/0 Mustad hooks rigged in sequence to create a stinger rig. "It sounds like a fairy tale, but it's true."
Captain Dave Caffery fired up the boat and followed the big kingfish so that the rod Adams was holding would not lose all of the 20-pound-test line on the spool.
The fight turned interesting when the tax collector, aka a hammerhead shark, started chasing the team's big kingfish.
Adams put the reel in free spool to let the kingfish escape sudden shark death syndrome.
"It was pretty quick," Adams said of his decision to let the tournament-winning kingfish run free, at least for a few critical seconds.
Adams is no novice. He's a private boat captain who has fished billfish tournaments all over the world.
Adams said said he and fellow AD/HD team members, including boat owner Lamont Harris as well as fellow angers Randy Yates and Steadman Birch, intentionally fished with larger baits — blue runners and speedos — to avoid having to catch bonito, which have shown up in the warming ocean water.
Back at the scales, the AD/HD's 64.6-pound kingfish was the heaviest fish of the 176-boat tournament. It was 14 pounds heavier than the largest fish weighed in the kingfish division, a 50.55-pound king caught by Art Frigo on Reel Lucky.
Other Grand Slam tournament catches were impressive, too.
Charlie Collins won the dolphin division with a 41.27-pound mahi mahi caught on Goin' Raptor.
John Morganthaler's 45.14-pound wahoo, caught aboard You're Done, won the 'hoo division.
Shanae Engleman's 43.2-pound kingfish, caught on the Native, won he the ladies' kingfish division.
Marsha Matthews Weight caught a 17.1-pound mahi mahi on Satardaze to win the ladies' dolphin division.
Gaven Engleman won top junior angler with a 36.6-pound kingfish caught aboard Native
All told, Grand Slam tournament anglers donated 1,471 pounds of kingfish and 131 pounds of dolphin to benefit Hospice of Palm Beach County.
For those who have tournament fever, Hospice is planning its own tournament, the Horizons KDW, on July 23. Entry forms can be found at www.hpbc.com.

Trapped In Paradise-------
Having made her name with a collection of cloaks, Lindsey Thornburg is not a designer you'd think would flourish in the Spring. (And in fact, she'll have a big new development coming this Fall: After spending several seasons creating cloaks out of deadstock Pendleton fabrics, she's introducing a co-branded line with the Oregon-based company.) But the sun suits the New York-based Thornburg too, judging from the new film she's created for her Spring collection, shot in sunny Key Biscayne, Florida, with model Martha Hunt. "Martha is lustful, she has that sort of lazy angst that boredom creates," explains Thornburg. "She's captive in her affluent environment while her lover is away. Her fantasy is to be carried away into the oblivion with the man she passed at the cinema the previous day."
To pass the time, Hunt spends her time floating in the pool, gallivanting on the tennis courts, and making sand angels, wearing Thornburg's signature "urban witchy" (as she describes them) pieces—a variety of billowy maxi dresses ranging from a pink cutout number to a simple black one. Not that customers are encouraged to be so cavalier. "This collection is very special, limited or one-of-a-kind," the designer says. "The focus on this collection was to use the tactile nature of different silks while unifying them by specialty dye processes." Unifying the entire video is music by Scout LaRue Willis—progeny of Demi and Bruce—and Nicolas Jaar; it debuts exclusively here on Style.com.

Our Council has shown how naive and ignorant they are of basic land use law and principles. Yes, entitlements flow with the land.
And developers will find a way to maximize their profits regardless of what the city or community want; that's called "best and highest use" and just means that the use maximizes developer or property owner profit.
on Aug 17, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Sandy, a question. I can't decipher from your article whether or not the two new owners of these parcels are ready, willing and able to build high density housing or not. Are they? If so, how many units of the total the city needs to come up with would this represent. Also, why is staff continuing to study properties where the owners are not willing sellers or not developers if properties such as this represent real opportunities?
on Aug 18, 2012 at 12:54 pm
It's important to include all potential properties. This article points out clearly that owners change, and so do circumstances. Just because a current owner isn't interested doesn't mean that it's a bad site or that a future owner might be more interested.
