Not bad. Golden amber in colour although hardly exciting. Nice thin persistent head. Lots of aromas lifting off the nose; lemon, spice, almost confectionary-like. Palate nearly as good, and very similar, bit quite there. The lemon and citrus loses its intensity and the beer mellows out into a mild lager. Still, won't be a bad summer drink.

Single bottle picked up at a Canberra liquor store. BBD: Sept 9th, 2011.
Poured into the closest approximation to a beer glass I could find in the hotel. Pale golden, initially clear and sparkling but the swirling of the sediment yielded a nice opaque consistency. Good frothy head, lots of lacing.
Nose is lemon, herbs, grass, a bit of soft wheat malt.
Pretty tasty brew, enjoyable on an autumn patio, but the lemon flavor is a bit artificial tasting. Finishes with a grassy hop kick.
Slightly creamy, zippy carbonation.
A decent witbier, a bit heavy-handed with the lemon flavor, but still nevertheless a good warm weather drinker.

Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with about 1cm of white bubbly head that fades away pretty quickly. Smells of yeast, lemon and something else I can't quite place, I guess it would be the myrtle, maybe mixed with dish soap. Tastes lemony and yeasty, pretty much as advertised. The mouthfeel is fizzy and weak. I probably won't be getting this again, it seems like a good idea on paper, but I can't help feeling it's like hoegaarden with lemon dish soap.

Glassware - Corsendonk Tulip
Appearance - Poured with a HUGE white head that caught me off guard and flowed out of the top of the glass. Not a very pretty head but there was a lot of it. Unfortunately it did not leave a whole lot of lacing on the glass (inside or out.) Pretty light colored and cloudy, a nice light golden color.
Nose - Lots of wheat with some lemon/citrus aroma as well. Having never seen (or smelled) a lemon myrtle plant I can't say if that is what it smells like but I imagine it is.
Taste - So I guess this is what it lemon myrtle tastes like? It is distinctly lemon but there is also a floral quality about it that comes off a little soapy to me (as do most floral beers.) There is also another spice in there that I can't quite put my finger on but it is familiar. It is a little tart from the lemon flavor which is nice in a refreshing kind of way.
Mouthfeel - A bit thin but not really watery. Lots of thin carbonation and a tart (puckering, but not astringent) finish.
Overall - Pretty solid beer, tastes good and has a nice enough body. The nose could use some work (if it smelled how it tasted I would be all over it.)

3.93/5 rDev +19.1%
Appearance - Cloudy gold. 2 fingers of head which reduced.
Smell - Lots of sweet lemon and spices.
Taste - The lemon myrtle is probably the first thing you'll notice in the taste - it is surprisingly strong. The wit/lemon myrtle combination works very well though, as the flavour behind the myrtle is also very citrus-like and spicy. If anything they should reduce the lemon myrtle presence, but I don't really have any serious complaints with the current recipe.
Mouthfeel - Very good texture and carbonation.
Drinkability - A little below what I would expect from a witbier, but still very drinkable.
Overall - This experiment is a success. Well done Barons.

I've had a few of the Barons beer and nothing really jumped out, but I have to say that I truly liked this beer. It looks good, smells a little lemony, but overall very drinkable. This is a solid beer to have a few on a hot day, you won't be disappointed. The problem with these guys is that these beers aren't widely available out here on the West unless you get it at a discount store for like $4.99 a 6-pack, good price for us but a disservice to the brand.

Pours with a ridiculously huge frothy head that dissipates extremely slowly. The lacing is average; the head wasn't that pretty to begin with, just really large.
Smell is very citrus-like as expected. Lemons and limes are the main proponents followed by some orange aromas. Coriander present without a doubt.
Very sweet immediate taste when sipping. Quickly turns into lemony flavor with absolutely no alcohol taste in the back. A bit lacking on the complex flavors that I expected when I was looking at the bottle, but still not bad at all. A decent beer in terms of taste.
Mouthfeel is light and a bit 'stingy'. Dont know if I like it too much.
Drinkability is definitely high as this is a light brew and many could be downed without problem.
Overall, decent. Would buy again, possibly, but not often.

2.5/5 rDev -24.2%
Pours a very ordinary gold colour with minimal, non-resilient head. Slow progression of bubbles. Lacing is pretty good and is by far the highlight. Densely webbed although not too sticky. I don't know about this. If this is the 'real Australian' version of the witbier then give this Aussie a Belgian any day.
Very interesting nose. Citrus yet not acidic, very sweet and candy-like. Smells quite like those hard-boiled lemon sherbet sweets one used to get from ye olde candy shoppe back in the golden days of yore. *sighs nostalgically* Very tartaric, has an almost bubblegum sweetness as well, all good characters but not very much in the way of ordinary beer aroma. No spice either. Interesting but not very impressive.
Similar flavours on the palate. A taste quite cognisant of artificial lemon flavouring with a sweet but tangy front-to-back. There is a slight floral note on the very back which is the slightly herbal additive the label promised, but it doesn't give it much of a kick, nor does it flush out what is otherwise an overly sweet palate almost reminiscent of cough medicine.
Marks of course, for ingenuity, but the palate is simple, slightly cloying and the finish leave an over-linger of a syrupy sweetness. Mouthfeel is a bit sticky, but the tingle goes appropriately with the tang of the flavour. This is an interesting beer but it doesn't live up to the shining standard of its cousin, the Black Wattle, mainly because the latter has a far better constructed and more complex palate.
This here is a gimmicky flavour - it needs a bit of work on letting the Australian bush spicing flavour, but not overpower, the beery goodness.

Pours a hazy golden with a ridiculously thick white frothy head. The head was not impressive, just too thick. Some lacing.
The smell is strong of yeast, coriander & artificial lemon. The taste is mainly yeast & lemon with a little coriander, cloves & wheat. The yeast flavor reminded me of a lager. Mouthfeel is crisp, carbonated.
Drinkability is average; it would be better without the artificial lemon.

3.68/5 rDev +11.5%
Pours slightly cloudy, very pale gold with a very small, weak head that is gone pretty quick. Very active carbonation. Smells quite inticing with sherbety lemon notes mixing with some typical witbeer citrus. After that bouquet, the taste was a little lacklustre. A lemony punch that drops away a little too quick. Does hold up as a fairly good wit. Decent length with no apparent bitterness. A good beer worth trying but not a classic as such.

3.23/5 rDev -2.1%
Pours pale golden with a massive towering soap sud-like head. Good persistence.
Aroma is white wine, lemon sherbet, coriander and the ever-present perfumy Lemon Myrtle. Further inspection reveals loads of lemon zest, and some light malt (perhaps wheat, not even sure if this is a real wit, label only says "contains malted barley.). Reminiscent of lemon-scented dish-washing liquid.
Definate wheat flavour, very light otherwise. Short-lived finish is made of lemony tangyness and a practically invisible bitterness. Very weak tasting after a couple of sips, but still, quite refreshing.
Too much carbonation.

2.85/5 rDev -13.6%
This beer poured WAY too much head. Pours a slightly cloudy amber color.
Smell is of mild spice with a little orange peel and lemon citrus. Not a lot of hints of cloveyness or anything. Yeast byproducts seem underwhelming.
Taste has hints of fusel alcohols, which is odd at 4.5% abv. Very dry on the palate, and the fusel alcohols overtake the yeast byproducts. There is a slight hint of cloveyness and bitter orange peel, but it's a stretch to find.
Mouthfeel is a little bit too carbonated, but maintains a crispness and fullness.
This beer is VERY middle of the road. Try it if it's in the mixed six section. Otherwise, pass on it.

3.8/5 rDev +15.2%
Appearance - 3.0
The head fizzed with an almost soda like ferocity, and reduced to a paper thin layer. Beneath this the beer appears to be typical witbier, hazy, orange-yellow in colour.
Smell - 3.5
Immediately the native ingredient becomes apparent. The typical spicy, fruity smells that come from malted wheat are in the background, hiding behind a strong whiff of lemon rind.
Taste - 4.0
Despite being stronger in flavour, the beer is still refreshing, as a wit should be. Tastes of lemon rind, ripe citrus fruits, finishes tart and vaguely spicy.
Mouthfeel - 3.5
Perhaps not as smooth as the best of witbiers, carbonation is reasonable lively.
Drinkability - 4.0
Refreshing and easy to drink, but I wouldn't want to session with this, it has too much strength of flavour for that.
Another very interesting Australian twist on a traditional style. Hats off to Baron's for being adventurous, they have created yet another, drinkable, memorable beer.

At first I didn't like the aroma it was a lot like a lemon cough drop. After it has a chance to warm a little the malt comes through as well as some spices. The appearance is hazy gold with a large head that falls pretty fast. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin but right for the style. The finish is a little strange. Overall it's not great but its got plenty of lemon and very refreshing and easy to drink.

3.83/5 rDev +16.1%
This is reviewed subjectively as I confess to not having Witbeir parameters as part of my beer education.
The bottle sediment ensures a cloudy glass of beer with a head that wonted to be somewhere lese.
The lemon of course is obvious on nose and taste buds and the myrtle adds a distinctive flavour that borders on herby/spicy but mellow and woody.It nips the lemoness just when it needs to.
This is an ideal beer for a hot hot day and certainly refreshes the palate.
Not an everyday , all day sort of thing but has a little place in the world of beer consumption

3.28/5 rDev -0.6%
Appearance - Extremely huge head, so much so that it's very difficult to pour correctly. I have to wait a while for it to die down. The color is cloudy yellow.
Smell - A grassy lemon smell dominates, some coriander. A few wheat notes.
Taste - Pretty similar to the smell, except with the added sharpness of the carbonation.
Mouthfeel - Crisp, highly carbonated.
Drinkability - One goes down well, though I'm ready to move on by the time I'm done.
Notes - As a unique beer, I'm glad I tried it. However, its overcarbonation gets to me, and I don't think I'll buy it again.

This beer pours a cloudy pale yellow color. The head is a massive, billowy, bright white two inches in height, and recedes very slowly into a firm cap of lacing. The aroma is of huge lemon notes. There is a little coriander in the background, but it is faint, and hard to detect. The taste is like the aroma...too much lemon. The mouthfeel is about on for a witbier...medium bodied with lively carbonation. Overall, this beer would be very good if only it had more coriander, and wasn't so one dimensional. I could drink it again, but there are better witbiers out there.

Pours a hazy pale orange color with a huge, meringue-like head that falls slowly leaving behind some nice, chunky lacing. Faint lemon and banana in the nose, a little bit of wheat twang, and some greenyness. Flavor is somewhat light. There's typical wit flavors of banana and clove, but the spice is underwhelming. Just the slightest hints of bitter lemon rind and orange and some herbal, green hops. Medium bodied, lots of crisp carbonation. This was a good witbier, and I actually enjoyed it, even this is not one of my favorite styles. Very drinkable, and somewhat tasty, but needs a little boost in the flavor department.

3.68/5 rDev +11.5%
A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a yellowish color and a cloudy texture. There was about a quarter inch of head some good lacing.
S: Smelled slightly different than most witbiers: Lemon and coriander, but also some indeterminate spices.
T: A decent taste. Lemon, coriander, hops, and possibly the myrtle of its namesake. Not bad, but not as much like a witbier as I would've expected.
M: A fair amount of carbonation and a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
D: Overall, this is an OK example of a witbier. Not my favorite of the style, but good.

Poured into a NB chalice, this comes out a crystal-clear golden color with a small, air-filled head. Lacing is poor. Very lemony aroma, like lemon-fresh dishwater detergent. Rather tasty flavor though, like a shandy, light, effervescent, and citrusy. A nice tartness at the end takes away from the initial sweetness. A nice summertime afternoon beer, I think

330mL brown bottle poured to a tall pilsner glass. Bottle shows a 'Best After' date of 12/10/07. Big thanks to willjansen for bringing a taste of NSW to the PacNW. Enjoyed on a warm Thursday evening, our first 80F+ degree day in Portland this year: 15 May, 2008.
4.5% Alc/Vol = Approx. 1.1 Standard Drinks
A: Pours a pretty standard-looking straw yellow, haziness isn't very strong and color seems thin. A crackling white head builds to about 1-finger then drops to a creamy film of tiny froth. Good carbonation, plenty of rising bubbles. No lace.
S: A yeasty/wheaty bread aroma spritzed with a light lemon and a notable herb/grass fragrance (the myrtle, I assume) that reminds me of verbena or white tea.
T: Interesting flavor! Lemon is light and seems to have a buttery sweetness to go with a natural rind zestiness. Myrtle (a flavor I'm really not familiar with) brings a grassy freshness and has touches of tea leaves, lavender and hibiscus. The wit seems pretty standard, wheat bread that's got a soft yeasty quality and just enough finishing hops for balance.
M: A light, crisp, refreshing mouthful. Not overly carbonated - softens and gets creamier after a few minutes of warming.
D: Enjoyable and remarkably easy to drink. Flavor is a little curious, but quite likable. Not a 'traditional' wit, but close enough - with an intriguing twist of flavor. Probably the only time I'll have the chance to drink this beer; it's certainly memorable.
Thanks again, Will!

A - Hazy light gold yellow colour. A few centimetres of off white head that falls away rather quickly.
S - Citrus and wheaty - the lemon myrtle is quite strong. Reminds me of a lemon myrtle infused shampoo my ex-girlfriend used to buy.
T - Like the smell but with an even stronger lemon myrtle taste.
M - Medium bodied with a fairly high carbonation.
D - Nice enough but I don't think it's something I'd buy on a regular basis.

Boots are very light and rugged. Can see why these would be the last mountaineering boot a person would need to buy. Fit very well, has great support and feet stayed warm and dry. Will know more in a few years of use. Full review
Black Diamond ATC-Guide
Besides being quite lightweight, the ATC-Guide is a very nice evolution from the ATC. The ability to belay directly off of the anchors is so great that you will go "wow" if you have never belayed a second off of the anchors. It will lock off, and that really helps in keeping the second safe. It's easy to incorporate it into the anchor system, and it's quite easy to rappel from either double or single line rappels.

A great, comfortable, yet stiff slipper. Great for cracks and slabs! Not for overhangs. Back story: Well, my La Sportiva Barracudas finally bit the dust. I searched desperately for a new crack climbing shoe, namely, one with rubber over the toes. To my dismay, most shoes with rubber over the toes are aggressive and downturned, not ideal candidates for a crack climbing shoe.

Jets QB Tim Tebow won the Professional Football Writers of America Good Guy Award.
The PFWA gives out the award to a player for his "qualities and professional style in helping pro football writers do their jobs." One of the most popular players in the game, Tebow helped turn around the Broncos last season and led them to a shocking playoff win over the Steelers.
The Broncos traded Tebow to the Jets in March.
"I think Tim handled himself well all season long with the kind of attention few players are asked to contend with at any point in their careers," said Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post. "Tim not only dealt with the traditional media obligations both locally and nationally, but he was also the focus of many non-traditional media outlets, both from in Denver and across the country. And while he didn't always let folks peer into his innermost thoughts, he did always conduct himself professionally, with a great deal of respect for both the process and the people who take part in it."

Christian Ministry
All Majors
OverviewThe Christian Ministry major is a unique and rigorous academic program that combines orthodoxy with orthopraxy. In order to be an effective leader in any realm of Christian ministry, you must possess a strong foundational orthodoxy. To help develop this foundational orthodoxy, you are required to take courses in biblical studies, biblical languages, and Christian theology.
Although a strong orthodoxy is essential for you, as a future Christian leader, of equal necessity is a practical and relevant orthopraxy. To help shape this active-oriented mindset, regardless of which degree option you choose, you will be required to take core courses that are relevant for all Christian ministry leaders.
In addition to these core courses, you will take other specialized courses that are highly practical in nature in relation to the degree option you choose. Thus, you can expect to receive a well-balanced education in orthodoxy and orthopraxy.

Solgar has its own on-site Quality Laboratory that ensures that each product leaving the door meets their Gold Standard for excellence. They don't just do one test on their products. They do many.USP Water Purification System. Solgar invested over $1 million in a state-of-the-art USP reverse osmosis water purification system – widely considered the finest type of filtration available. This isn't required by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), but the Solgar Gold Standard requires that they have the best system possible.HEPA Air Filtration System. Air that circulates through the Solgar facility passes through a bank of HEPA filters that remove 99.9% of airborne particulates. Both air and water samples are routinely tested in Solgar's in-house laboratory.Cleanliness. Solgar uses food-grade cleaners to sanitize our equipment between batches. They disassemble and clean all of their machinery after each formula change. In some cases, the equipment is broken down into hundreds of parts and may take up to eight hours to clean and reassemble. Walls, floors, and other surfaces are also cleaned before a manufacturing suite is used for another formula.Gluten Free. Most Solgar products are gluten free.Kosher Certified. Solgar selected KOF-K Kosher Supervision, an international organization that follows the strictest laws of the kosher observance, to certify their products.Halal Certified. Solgar chose the Halal Food Authority (HFA), a U.K.-based organization that adheres to the strictest laws of Halal, to certify their products.Aqueous Coated Tablets. Solgar was one of the first in the natural products industry to integrate a natural, water-based coating for all of their coated-tablet products as an alternative to using the more common solvent-based coating agent shellac (also known as pharmaceutical glaze). This natural coating improves disintegration and dissolution, providing better absorption of the nutrients.Recyclable Amber Glass Bottles. Their recyclable glass bottles are non-leaching, non-porous, and odorless. Although these "old style" medicine bottles cost more, Solgar uses them because they protect against heat, light, and moisture.Exclusive Distribution. Their specialty market demands innovative products that are unique and available in brands exclusive to their class of trade. Solgar is committed to distributing their products through fine health food retailers across the globe where customers can find the best products along with the best nutritional advice about them.

Man accused of threatening amateur radio club members
John Watkins III charged with terroristic threats
SAN ANTONIO - Northeast Bexar County resident John Watkins III is accused of making death threats to members of an amateur radio club.
Watkins was arrested on two counts of making a terroristic threat, and booked into jail Saturday. Records show he has been released after posting $4,000 bond.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, radio club members determined someone was making threats, using racial slurs and creating "white noise," or static, on the channels that they use for broadcasting.
A club member assigned to investigate it said he tracked the broadcasts to Watkins' home and confronted him in January, telling him to stop, the affidavit stated.
Club members told investigators with the Bexar County Constable, Precinct 3, that Watkins made another threat over the airwaves the following day, saying he would use an AK 47 assault rifle to kill them, the affidavit stated.
Members had to have deputy constables at their meetings because they feared for their safety, the affidavit stated.

- Sunday Brunch at Zona RosaOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/31/2014The restaurant is very small and very popular so the noise level is high. The guacamole with bacon was very good. The banana walnut pancakes were dry. I had to ask for extra syrup. The menu showed the dish as being with mixed fruit; that turned out to be 1 cut up strawberry and 2-3 blackberries.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mexican food on a higher plane.JoeDDined on 8/30/2014Very creative, great tasting, and innovative Mexican food. The guac with bacon and chopped pistachios is a must try. I loved the scallop tacos. Great combination of tastes. The chile relleno was flavorful with the combination of pork carnitas, chorizo, wild rice and butternut squash. If you're a fan of Mexican food but looking for something that is way beyond the typical combo plates with rice and beans, you need to experience the culinary delights at Zona Rosa!Special Features:
- Delicious dinnerGoodEatsDined on 8/26/2014Great menu! I wanted to try everything. Very accommodating and helpful with my 13 year old son. Food was a little over priced. My chimichuri tacos, chicken enchiladas and chips and salsa were $50! We definitely go back to try the rest of the menu.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/23/2014The food was good, not great. The service was very good. It was noisy inside; but the outside seating on the street comes with vehicle exhaust and dust kicked up by passing cars on The Alameda. In fairness, the street is being repaved at this time, so the amount of dust may change at some point.I would recommend this to a friend.

The service was friendly and prompt, the food was very good and inspired. cute little Carmel-sized place with indoor and outdoor dining. loved it!Special Features:

- Food is great and worth the waitNoCofamDined on 8/15/2014This place is very small. We had a reservation but still ended up waiting 50 minutes for a table. Food is worth waiting for. Service is slow but probably because food is made fresh. There is no bar so you must stand outside to wait fir a table. If you've got the time it's worth the wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great for romantic occasionnnv0001Dined on 8/13/2014Food is great and very authentic! Real Mexican or Latin American flavor in everything. Portions are small, but delicious, as you would expect at high end restaurant. The premises are tiny, neighborhood is so-so. I would not walk there at night :)Special Features:
- Lesson in frustrationSimonvineVIPDined on 8/8/2014We had a reservation, waited more than ten minutes for our table and the woman in charge proceeded to seat several couples ahead of us at tables she could have configured for us. Then when we asked her about it, she got mad at us. They don't seem to understand (1) the concept of reservations and (2) the concept of first come, first served. After we sat down, she proceeded to do the same thing to several more diners. Totally bizarre. It left the remaining wait staff scrambling to apologize and try to make up for her ridiculous attitude.
- Great neighborhood find...PorkchopDined on 8/3/2014What a great find. The food is fantastic - one of the best meals I've had in some time.Special Features:
- Will ReturnTrishDined on 8/2/2014What can I say? Had the Blue Corn Enchiladas. They were incredible. ...Definitely non traditional San Jose Mexican food, but with that said, Zona Rosa serves the best all around Mexican food I've ever had. They only had one desert, small round donuts in ice cream, very tasty and satisfying for two of us to share. A great meal I'll remember.Special Features:
- A must tryluv4fabfoodDined on 7/29/2014Yummy food with a great and unique twist. The service is friendly and very prompt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great, unusual MexicanjleetahoeDined on 7/26/2014Usually, in Mexican restaurants you get the same....glop. Zona Rosa has everything very fresh with subtle but unusual ingredients. The Cesar salad with pepitias, Mexican cheese, roasted corn and great dressing is a must. Chicken enchiladas are great, as well as the tacos. The nacho starters have meat on them, which I don't care for. The waitress was very attentive and friendly, and we loved sitting outside, although you're right on a busy street so it's a little noisy. Margaritias are great! I've been here three times and love it.Special Features:
- We Love Zona RosaJeanneDined on 7/26/2014We love this restaurant. Food and drinks are excellent, fresh, original. What we also love is everyone who goes there seems to always be in a good mood. The wait staff are all like family (some are!) and make us, their guests, also feel like family. This has become our favorite no matter what mood we are in!Special Features:

- Zona RosapickyaboutfoodDined on 7/25/2014Great menu! it's hard to choose from a wide variety of delicious offerings. Have been there many times, and I always find something new to try and enjoy. Everything is fresh and meticulously prepared. A real gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favorite Mexican restaurant!JasonVIPDined on 7/23/2014If you like Mexican food, but are underwhelmed by the slew of lackluster Texmex restaurants in the area, check out Zona Rosa. You won't be disappointed! They have a fantastic and diverse menu (drinks too!). The staff at Zona Rosa are great as well - they always remember you and provide recommendations. On our last visit, we had a friend that was wanting a low carb alternative and the staff provide generous off-menu options. Be sure not to miss the Ahi tuna plate and scallop tacos, you won't want to share! The venue is smaller than expected (which makes it more intimate), so be sure to make a reservation on OpenTable!Special Features:
- BrunchLocalDined on 7/20/2014Food is fantastic! Arriving at 10:15 on Sunday for brunch, the kitchen could still not handle getting all 4 entrees out at the same time. Served two of us, and forgot the other two. Took over an hour just to get food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food; expensive for what it ismikehDined on 7/19/2014OK, the food is very creative and tasty. The restaurant is very enjoyable in decor and ambiance. Service a little slow and somewhat unprofessional but acceptable. Our big surprise was the $175 tab (for 4 people) for what is essentially a taqueria. Yes, we had two rounds of drinks (because the food was slow in arriving...), appetizers, and one shared dessert, but the main courses were two small tacos each. It just felt a little too expensive for what it was.Special Features:
- Great Hand-Made Mexican FoodChristoDined on 7/15/2014Food was outstanding. Everything obviously hand-made. Delicious. Cocktails were also tasty and creative.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find!!!DTSJfoodieDined on 7/13/2014My friend and I have wanted to try Zona Rosa for a while now and we were not disappointing. Excellent food and the chipotle crema with the carne asada was delicious. The hibiscus tea was very tasty and surprising. I highly recommend both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best!MyraDined on 7/12/2014This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. Ingredients are Eco-conscious, and the food is original and fabulous. Great for people avoiding gluten.Special Features:
- A GemFrankVIPDined on 7/11/2014Service was friendly and knowledgable. They were successfully able to offer suggestions to our picky eater. Wine is small but what's there fits the menu very well. As usual the food was magnificent. It's somewhat hard to describe but for me this is what happens when a classically trained french chef decides to cook Mexican. Familiar and wild all at the same time. I go as often as I can.Special Features:
- Incredible flavorsDallasfoodieVIPDined on 7/10/2014First time to Zona Rosa, but from now on, when I visit San Jose, this is my go to Mexican restaurant. Amazing!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunchFoodloverVIPDined on 7/9/2014I've had hit or miss with this restaurant on service during the dinner hours but the food is fantastic so I keep going back. Today, my niece and I went for lunch and the service was great. I had the carrot and cilantro soup and it was wonderful.Special Features:
- Zona Rosa is fabulous!ChipVIPDined on 6/24/2014Just love the whole experience! Been there twice now. Will definitely become a regular. Service is fun and fantastic! The food combinations are creative and tasty!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Annoying wait but very good foodnankishDined on 6/21/2014We waited 30 minutes for our table after having checked in 10 minutes before our 7:00 PM reservation which she tried to tell me was 7:15 on her computer which can not be true. The place is small with no room for error but the hostess did not seem to have the system figured out. She was seating walk-ins ahead of people with reservations. They tried to make it up by giving us a free appetizer but still did not stop us from being annoyed.Special Features:
- Zona Rosa - Hot hot hot!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/18/2014This wonderful little restaurant has become one of our favorites. If you're thinking Tex-Mex or even Mexican food, it's not what you'd expect. They serve an upscale version of the classics that displays real talent in the kitchen, and a deep understanding of the ingredients. Not inexpensive, crowded, and sometimes noisy, but worth it. A real gem.Special Features:
- Great expectation- awful letdownWholesomeFoodieDined on 6/15/2014Raw tortillas in the difficult to eat enchilada bowl. Salty salad- even the replacement! Salty, oily chips. Good idea, awful food. To top it off it was a $74.00 bill for brunch! Hours later I continued to taste the salt in my mouth. So disappointing :0(
- Delicious & Healthy Mexican FoodHealthyFoodieDined on 6/11/2014I've been going to Zona Rosa for about two years now, and it's a great dining experience every time I visit. The staff is warm and friendly--just what you might expect from a small family business with a core group of regulars. The quarters are a tight fit at peak dining hours, but I usually go right when they open at lunch for 30 minutes of private dining with my guests. What I love the most about their dishes is the emphasis on using healthy, natural ingredients--no lard on the menu here. My favorite dishes are the "Sopa del Dia" and salmon tacos. Most dishes are gourmet-style (small), but these two fill me up. Their guacamole is also a winner! I'd highly recommend Zona Rosa to anyone looking for a tasty Mexican food place in San Jose.Special Features:
- Fabulous!wineNdine27Dined on 6/8/2014This place is fantastic! The food is delicious, not the typical fare you'd expect to see & the service is great. The place is tiny, so a reservation is highly recommended.Special Features:
- Great DiscoveryLaFlaca2eatDined on 6/6/2014I'm so happy I found a great Mexican eatery. The food was really good, fresh and interesting. It's also a cozy spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome food and cocktailsLuvGoodEatsDined on 6/5/2014This was the 2nd visit and it was just as excellent an experience as the 1st one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yum and yumMonicaroseDined on 6/5/2014Zona is a surprise of a gem. The decor/ambiance is quality. I like the water served in vintage tequila bottles, the flowers, and how quaint the place is. I really enjoy the food, notably the guacamole with bacon and pistachios. The Ahi appetizer is delicious. The only minor issue was that the steak taco was oily, or greasy, it dripped down my hand. But-- the flavors are spot on. Portions are perfect. Fresh, in season ingredients. I'll come again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great flavors at Zona RosaFoodieSueDined on 6/4/2014Zona Rosa had been on my list of restaurants to check out. Went with a friend for lunch. The guacamole with homemade chips was a great way to begin. Who can resist guacamole with large chunks of crisped bacon and roasted pistachios? We each ordered tacos which come two to a plate and then swapped one with each other. The salmon tacos were amazing. The mixture of spices and ample portion of salmon will bring us back to Zona Rosa and left us wanting to try the many other options on the menu. It was hard to choose. The scallop tacos were also a treat. Lightly battered and sweet and a nice complement to the more bold spices of the salmon taco. I ordered a chile relleno to go. This is not your ordinary battered and fried relleno. Foodie heaven!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- my new favoriteklbsDined on 5/30/2014I love Mexican food... and I love creative chefs. Zona Rosa is a combination of those- from the guacamole with bacon and pistachios, to the unbelievable carrot soup, to the chile relleno that was unlike any other chile relleno I've ever had... the handmade tortillas were to die for. And the whole thing was enhanced by the jalapeno margaritas. Its a tiny little place, so you are pretty close to the table next to you, but we didn't mind. The staff was very friendly and helpful with our choices - I wanted to try everything, so she helped us narrow it down. We'll definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crave-worthyMissingMaxDined on 5/23/2014I have never liked Mexican food, even though I lived in Texas for 15 years. This restaurant changed my mind completely. They have so many complexities in their flavor profiles. Every dish is prepared with the kind of care and attention to detail you would expect if you were the only one they were cooking for. Portions are generous. I cannot wait until the next time I get to go there! Do not miss the Rancho Gordo heirloom beans, the nachos with mole sauce and carnitas, the amazing guacamole with bacon and pistachio nuts, or the pumpkin fritters with ice cream (if you can still hold another bite).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Trying to remove stains and spots out of the carpet can be difficult, especially after it has soaked in. Well, there may be an easier way to clean up messes within just minutes. In this week's "Don't Buy It, Until We Try It," I tried out Stream Clean, the stain and odor eliminator.
It can be hard to avoid a spill and clean up can be just as difficult. "Time is usually of the essence. The longer it's there, the longer it just soaks into that fiber. So, the quicker you can get to it, the better," says Kayla Sanders, Carpetland Salesperson. To hopefully make removing stains a little easier, we decided to try out Stream Clean. It sells for around $10 and promises to be a stain and odor eliminator. "I don't know. I don't have good luck with as seen on TV products. So, we'll find out," she says. We first poured coffee on a piece of polyester carpet. It didn't take long for the coffee to soak into the fabric. Then, we opened up the can of Stream Clean and began to spray the stain until it was completely covered. You'll notice the cleaner foams up, eventually penetrating stain.But, we weren't too impressed."You can still kind of see it right in here and you can definitely see it right in there," says Sanders. We repeated the same steps on a piece of nylon carpet. Only this time, the BIO 5 enzyme action helped clean the area."They are proteins, so they actually help break down any stains or odors that you can have." "I would say it went pretty well on they nylon. There's only maybe two spots that it left," she says. Next on the list, was something a little bit more challenging like mustard. After blotting the spot with a clean cloth, we didn't have much luck."It doesn't say if it should be a one time try or not," says Sanders. Now, on the front of the Stream Clean, it shows removing a stain on light colored carpet. But, on the back of the can in small print it says to not use on wool, white or light colored carpet.You'll notice there's quite a bit of residue left behind on both the polyester and nylon carpet squares."Not surprised. Mustard would probably be one of the tougher ones to get out," says Sanders. Finally, it was time to crack open a can of pop and find out if the Stream Clean would live up to its claim to fame. Since one of the main ingredients in pop is carbonated water, it didn't take long for the liquid to soak into either carpet square. Stream Clean worked well on both types of carpet, leaving behind little to no stains."I would say with this cleaner, the nylon probably performed a little better than our second polyester just because of the stain treatment it has on top of it," says Sanders.
The tab on top of the can is very powerful. With not much effort the spot is completely covered with stream clean solution. While you can actually hear it dissolve into the carpet, it didn't actually make much of a difference on the polyester carpet. You'll probably want to find another product with better results.So, this week's "Don't Buy It, Until We Try It," earns a thumbs down.

University of Pittsburgh, 2010 - $25,950
Assistive Technologies (ATs) can be the single most important factor in determining whether people with disabilities can participate fully in society. However, the abandonment rate for new ATs is disconcertingly high, with inappropriate design for the user being one of the most common reasons for failure.
The University of Pittsburgh's Human Engineering Research Laboratory (HERL), which marries efforts on research- and user-driven innovations with the expertise of outside business collaborators, has had success commercializing ATs in the past, with five spin-offs to its name. This proposal seeks funding to augment a current NSF-funded HERL program, called Research Experience for Undergraduates, to support projects and educational activities related specifically to AT product development done by undergraduates. NCIIA funding will be used to support multidisciplinary teams of undergraduates working on innovation-focused projects, workshops focused on design innovation and commercialization, and tours of local companies that support early-stage product design in the AT industry.
The ultimate goal of the expanded program is the development of highly promising AT products that can be launched after completion of the NCIIA-funded project, improving the quality and increasing the quantity of highly impactful ATs.
University of Pittsburgh, 2001 - $13,085
The Center for Critical Care Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh discovered that some patients experience decompensation during transport while on oxygen support. Decompensation is a life-threatening problem that occurs when a patient's oxygen supply tubing develops a kink or when oxygen depletes within the storage cylinders. No device exists to indicate the flow of oxygen through a patient's tube. In fact, the only current method of determining if a patient is experiencing decompensation is to see if their face turns blue.
In response to this need for an oxygen flow monitor, this E-Team developed the Spindicator, a device made up of a cylindrical tube, an inline impeller, and gas inlet/outlet. Oxygen flowing through the tube forces the impeller to spin. To make impeller monitoring easy, the team painted the impeller two distinct colors that a person can detect from a minimum of six feet away. If the device fails, the inline impeller design facilitates oxygen flow to the patient. The Spindicator attaches to the nasal attachment or face mask just below the patient's face.
At a preliminary survey at the UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, 72% of those surveyed expressed extreme support of the product. Across the US, about 1,500 hospitals need to provide oxygen to approximately sixty-six million patients. If the Spindicator sold for $5 to $10, hospitals would pay only $250,000 to $440,000 each year for the product.
The team originated from a NCIIA-funded class, Product Realization. Three undergraduate students, with skills in mechanical and industrial engineering, worked on the team. They worked with four engineering school advisors and two medical/industry advisors. One of these advisors is a doctor from UPMC Presbyterian and headed the clinical trial for Spindicator.
University of Pittsburgh, 2001 - $13,000
According to the American Hospital Association, there are 6,400 hospitals in the US, and most of them own endoscopic equipment. Endoscopes and laparoscopes are narrow, tube-shaped optical devices that allow surgeons to see inside a patient's body without making incisions. The devices minimize trauma in surgery and therefore shorten patient recovery time. However, scope performance depends on the image quality they deliver, and many factors contribute to image quality deterioration, including collision with alien objects, poor maintenance, and the heat and chemicals used in cleaning and sterilization procedures. Currently, hospitals have no tool to ensure scope performance by evaluating and monitoring image quality.
To fill this need, this E-Team developed an image quality analyzer that facilitates efficient and automatic evaluation of the image quality of scopes. With the analyzer, hospitals can ensure the quality of endoscopic surgery and track the performance of scopes over time. Performance data shows optimal maintenance procedures and when replacement is necessary.
The E-Team consisted of two graduate students in engineering. They worked with an industrial engineering faculty member and the director of minimal invasive surgery at the Magee-Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh.
University of Pittsburgh, 2001 - $14,200
JackHeat is a self-heating, lightweight jacket. The E-Team successfully developed a prototype, made possible through the discovery of a new carbon-based material, Gorix, which allows heat to pass through evenly while using a minimal amount of battery power.
The E-Team consisted of two students from computer engineering and a third from marketing. Their faculty advisors were three engineering professors and one from marketing. One of their three industry advisors is the inventor of Gorix. They hope to enter the market as the first self-heating, general consumer-oriented jacket, offering a variety of additional skins for increased profitability.

Each year, approximately 140,000 patients are affected by deficit of the seventh cranial nerve, which provides signals for the facial expression muscles for one side of the face. Of these patients, about half are unlikely to recover, and many sustain permanent damage to the eye. Current treatments for this disorder include sewing the eyelids together, connecting other nerves to the facial nerve, and implanting gold weights into the upper eyelid. Unfortunately, these treatments can disfigure patients and do not restore dynamic restoration of blinking.
This E-Team is developing a prosthetic device to facilitate blinking in patients suffering from facial nerve palsy. The device will consist of a number of tiny silicon chips that act as both actuators and sensors. The devices will be implanted in upper eyelids, and function as sensors on the unaffected side to pace the actuators on the affected side. The dual sensing/actuating nature of the system will allow the device to sense any recovery of the nerve on the affected side and calibrate itself accordingly. Power is provided to the chips by a device contained on prosthetic eyeglasses with a powering antenna wound in the lens holders, and a battery in the earpieces.

Child loss is a real fear for child caregivers in today's society. In 2001, the police received 2,000 lost-child cases. Although the majority of these children were recovered within hours, time spent finding the child meant time spent keeping the family in distress. To deter this problem, this E-Team developed Wee Know, a child loss prevention system.
Wee Know consists of two wireless communication devices: one for the child and one for the caretaker. The child's device, about the size of a wristwatch, attaches to the child's wrist; the adult's device resembles a pager. The devices consist of integrated circuits (ICs) that handle all functions of the system, utilizing radio frequency (RF) for communication. The team's current prototype integrates a RF transmitter and receiver produced by Linx Technologies. To ensure the correct signal passes between the child and caretaker devices, the communication signal must be encoded. Encoding distinguishes the RF signal from other signals that could cause interference. If the child and adult devices get too far away to properly communicate, an alarm signals.
The Wee Know E-Team consists of four undergraduate students in computer, electrical and mechanical engineering. They work with two faculty members in electrical engineering, and a business advisor from the Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management.

The Microprocessor Systems annual engineering course considers the interfacing between microprocessors and computers in general, which normally leads to communications with and control of many different types of physical devices and technologies. Students are required to consider all aspects of design, manufacture, and marketing. With NCIIA funding, two E-Teams have been generated in the class - Argus and EarTronX. Each E-Team was challenged to design a prototype device for locating lost hearing aids. Both prototype devices included a target in the hearing aid, and a locator implement. The E-Teams presented and discussed each prototype with five industry experts and entrepreneurs and submitted individual designs as a part of national and local competitions. The E-Teams plan to apply for Advanced E-Team funding.

Held out of Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore returned to practice on Thursday and is "Questionable" for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals
Already playing on a sore left ankle, Gore suffered the right knee injury in the second quarter of the 49ers' 27-20 win over the New York Giants last Sunday. Despite gaining zero yards on six attempts last week, Gore ranks seventh in the NFL with 782 yards and is tied for 10th with five rushing touchdowns on the season. One of the league's more complete running backs, Gore has just 14 receptions for 86 yards in 2011.
If Gore is unable to go or finish the Cardinals game, 2011 fourth-round pick Kendall Hunter would get the carries. Hunter has run for 257 yards and two touchdowns this season, including six carries for 40 yards and a touchdown against the Giants.

Veteran needs help, not jail

Your lumping of Blinkley into the plight of veterans is an insult to the many legitimate veterans of Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Blinkley was a third-rate officer, immature, and a poor leader. Although he may indeed have problems, many are a result of his poor and weak character. His lawyers played the war hero card and won, even though he was never a war hero. What you fail to realize is that most veterans want acknowledgement and respect more than sympathy and a hand out.

Hi, I see that I can't send you an email because you're blocked. I won't be able to organize any of the events for the runners. The Sawyer camp trail was something I could have organized over the summer, but fall has just been incredibly busy. hopefully I'll be able to get out for an event or two in the spring.
Too late to join tomorrow's "Foothill" 10 AM (9/18) ride? I am late in replying and I'd like to come.
Hi there! what is the ride that I might like? I've been very busy with my business lately, and so am having a hard time getting out much... but hills are good! :)
The run I mentioned to you this morning...I think you'll enjoy it.

Two people are dead and two others hospitalized after an apparent murder/suicide Saturday night in Ripley County at a home off of County Road 32. Sheriff Ron Barnett and the Missouri Highway Patrol reported 23-year-old Colton Turner shot and killed one person stabbed two more before killing himself. Barnett says Turner's girlfriend was leaving him and her family was helping her in retrieving her things when Turner reportedly killed his girlfriend's father, Dean McColley, Sr. and allegedly stabbed the girlfriend's brother, Dean McColley, Jr., 9 times. He then allegedly stabbed the Sherry McColley, the mother, in the back one time. McColley, Jr. was listed in serious condition. No word on the condition of the Mom. The incident is still under investigation.

If there is such a thing as a mandate after this seasons' second beauty contest, Mitt Romney has it in his grasp.
Romney had to produce a significant margin of victory, which he did as Santorum, the story of Iowa, fell back and was replaced as runner- up in New Hampshire by Ron Paul.
Barring a truly unusual meltdown from Romney, the rest of the field has moved from long shot to really long shot. The exception to this would be Jon Huntsman, who in the event of a Romney stumble, could emerge as the fall back, adult-in-the-room candidate. Huntsman held his own among voters who cited experience as the most important factor in selecting a candidate.
I predict Bain Capital will be growing problem for Romney when people realize that private equity firms are formed to created value for investors, not create jobs, which calls into question Romney's mostly unsubstantiated claims of having created 100,000 jobs. It is unlikely to be enough to cost him the nominaton. but it could batter him badly.
If Bain Capital does more than batter Romney, Huntsman, a social conservative and former Utah governor, has the best resume and supportable narrative on the economy.
Huntsman worked for Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama and ran his familiy's vast chemicals business. In addition, he pulled off tax reform in Utah and the state was one of the nation's most proficient job creators during his tenure as governor. And yes, he also has supported cap and trade polices, school choice higher minimum wages, tax credits for alternative energy and didn't shy from proposing large state budgets or dismissing the concept of health care mandates. His platform for president captures many of these initiatives.
I think this makes him a very nuanced and worthy candidate, who understands the complexities of the world we live in. It is unfortunate that he hasn't figured out how to break through the mindless campaign diatribes and GOP litmus tests that seek sound bite solutions to complex matters.

David Bennett, head coach of the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, believes that his players should be less like cats and more like dogs. Cats get confused about a one-way screen door because they're too busy looking in the mirror, making sure they have the proper amount of sweatbands and making non-stop cat noises. Dogs, inversely, lie somewhere in another part of the house, barking. At least I think that's what this insane asshole is trying to say, watch for yourself.
For a guy who hates cats, he sure is pretending to be a cat a lot.
This video comes to us from Sportress of Blogitude by way of Off The Bench, and I think it might be one of those things everyone should experience despite no one being able to provide context. It's like listening to the last half of your crazy Uncle's story without hearing the beginning. You know there's a cat in the house, and you know there's a dog, and there's a guy named Mel, but he might also be a dog, because … I don't know.
Anyway, here's a video of the last Chanticleers game.
I want more like this!

The NBA trading deadline didn't pass without the Mavericks getting involved.
Dallas picked up guard Anthony Morrow from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for guard Dahntay Jones.
"He's one of the best shooters in the game and you can never have too many shooters," says Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle. "Atlanta got a good player and we've got a guy that we feel can help us stretch the defense even further."
Morrow's career got off to an incredible start. He was undrafted and later signed by the Golden State Warriors, a team that was coached at that time by former Mavericks head coach Don Nelson.
In his first NBA start, Morrow scored 37 points, the most ever scored in a game by an undrafted rookie.
"To have a guy that can step in as one of the top stretch shooters maybe in the history of the league, and to be able to come in and provide some was just really, really important to us," said Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson.
Morrow is expected to back up guard O.J. Mayo.
"It's good to have another shooter behind Mayo that can give us some minutes there," says Carlisle. "We're looking to get him here as soon as possible. We don't know when that will be."
Morrow has yet to comment on the trade, but he did issue the following tweet: "Looks like I'm officially a Mav! Thank you for all the welcome tweets! Can't wait to feel that AA center energy soon!!!!"
"We're always in the market for shooting," Nelson said. "It's always been a priority for us here and we feel like we made a nice step forward."

Major League Baseball's postseason schedule, announced Thursday, leaves very little margin for any unusual event — either weather, or a multiple-team tie for the two wild-card spots. For the latter event, baseball has allowed just one day between the end of the regular season (Oct. 3) and the date planned for the two wild-card play-in games (Oct. 5).
Based on these tweets from Jon Morosi, a multi-team tie for the wild-card spots would mess up that tight schedule:
Getting questions about what happens if 3 teams tied for wild card, as is the case now in AL. Would be a 3-team, 2-day tiebreaker system.
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) August 9, 2012
Actually, would be 3 days: Team A hosts Team B; winner to WC game, loser plays Team C; winner of THAT game to WC game also. Then WC game.
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) August 9, 2012
So it's actually two days of playoffs to determine who plays in the wild-card game, and then the third day mentioned by Morosi would be the wild-card game itself. Seeding in such an event would be determined by head-to-head records.
Don't ask what happens if all the head-to-head records are tied. No one's said anything about that, and Bud Selig's head is already about to explode.

FGCU Takes a Pair from ETSU on "Hit Pink" Day
FGCU holds steady in third place in the conference
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Behind eight RBI from senior Courtney Platt (Naples, Fla./Gulf Coast) and excellent efforts from the pitching staff, the FGCU Softball team swept ETSU in a pair of five inning games, 9-1 and 8-0, on Saturday afternoon in an Atlantic Sun doubleheader at the FGCU Softball Complex.
With the sweep, FGCU improves to 25-21 and 8-2 in the A-Sun to sit in third place and extend its winning streak to four games. The Bucs drop to 14-24, 3-9 in the conference.
The game was also the team's second annual "Hit Pink" day as the Eagles honored three team members' mothers before the game with ceremonial first pitches. FGCU also sold pink t-shirts with proceeds to go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
For the day, Platt hit for the cycle, going 5-for-6 with eight RBI and scoring three runs.. Five Eagles registered multi-hit days including five extra-base hits. Freshman Kirsten Bembnowski (Palm Harbor, Fla./East Lake) and redshirt sophomore Kayla Gabel (Lakeland, Fla./State College of Florida) each had a pair of RBI as well.
Redshirt senior Catherine McDaniel (Melbourne, Fla./Florida Tech) went the distance, allowing one run on five hits, while fanning six to improve to 12-9 on the year. In game two, Stephanie Sullivan (Venice, Fla./Venice) gave up her only hit in the final inning and recorded four strike outs.
FGCU started game one on fire, putting up nine runs on six hits in the first inning. Platt got things going with a three-run shot to centerfield, scoring freshmen Tori Williams (Dunnellon, Fla./Dunnellon) and Brittney Garabedian (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep), who each reached on walks. Gabel then tallied her two RBI on a single just past second base for a 5-0 lead with only one out.
After a pitching change, freshman Regan Knapik (Land O'Lakes, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch) singled to left field, advancing Gabel. Williams then came up to plate again and singled before advancing on the throw. to plate Gabel. Platt then hit her second extra-base hit of the inning, a double to center, to push across two more runs for the 9-0 lead.
Relief pitcher Shelby Morris managed to hold the Eagles scoreless on two hits in the final three innings of play, but the advantage proved to be too much. ETSU scored its lone run of the series on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded. With runners still on, McDaniel got out of the jam, recording the next two outs to keep the eight-run lead.
The Bucs' starter Jessica Duncan (7-10) took the loss in just a third of an inning, giving up six runs on six hits and four walks. ETSU's Katie Henderson totaled two hits in game one, including the Bucs' only extra-base hit.
The Eagles jumped out to another early lead, 5-0, in the first inning of the second game. Back-to-back singles from Williams and Garabedian put two on for Platt as she tallied her sixth RBI of the day, scoring Williams on a single to center. Sophomore Mariah Fernández (Cape Coral, Fla./North Fort Myers) recorded the fourth hit of the frame, plating Garabedian before Platt was able to motor around on an ETSU throwing error for a 3-0 lead.
Bembnowski then hit an RBI-double to left field before advancing to third on classmate Emily Lanier's (St. Cloud, Fla./Harmony) hit to center. With runners on the corners and no outs, a sacrifice fly plated Bembnowski to close out the inning.
FGCU added three more runs to its lead in the bottom of the second as once again Williams led off with a single before Garabedian doubled to left. Platt then tripled to right center, notching two more RBI, before scoring on a sacrifice fly to score the eighth run of the game.
With two outs in the fifth, Marlina Delisa's single proved to be the Bucs lone hit of the game as only two other ETSU batters reached base on errors. Sullivan preserved her shutout though, getting the last batter to go down swinging.
FGCU continues its homestand against first-place Lipscomb (22-14, 9-1 A-Sun) on Thursday, April 14 at 5 p.m. at the FGCU Softball Complex. The Bisons swept UNF and Jacksonville over the weekend to sit atop the conference standings.
Tickets for the game can be purchased through the FGCU Ticket Office in Alico Arena either in person or by phone at (239) 590-7145. Tickets are also available here. FGCU students, faculty and staff get in free of charge with an Eagle ID.

---- — LAWRENCE — When Antonio Bueno — a 73-year-old city worker with a 17-year record of speeding, running stop signs, accidents and license suspensions — got behind the wheel of another man's car in a public parking lot he was attending last week, chaos ensued.
It began when Bueno attempted to move a Toyota left in the lot beside City Hall by Methuen resident Rafael Garcia, apparently to make room for another car, according to a police report. Police said Bueno put Garcia's car in reverse and backed it up.
The first car to get hit was Bueno's own, a 1994 Toyota, which also was parked in the lot, the report said.
After backing into his own car, Bueno threw Garcia's car into forward and hit the gas, striking another car with such force that the nose of Garcia's car wedged under it, shoveling it into a cement wall and then into a third vehicle, which also was flung against the wall.
"I loved that car," said Rita Brousseau, the city's Purchasing Agent, who owned the third vehicle, a 2006 Hyundai Tuscon, which was totaled. "It was my first brand new car. Right off the lot. It was fully loaded. I planned on running that thing into the ground."
There was almost one more casualty in the April 24 incident.
Frank Acosta, a witness who was standing at the edge of it all, told police he "was afraid (vehicle) #1 was going to hit him also," according to the police report.
A police records officer did not respond to messages seeking to learn if Bueno was ticketed.
Any tickets would be added to Bueno's 24 convictions, accidents and suspensions since 1996, including six for speeding, six for failing to stop, and four accidents in which he was deemed mostly responsible, according to records provided by the state Registry of Motor Vehicles.
Bueno could not be reached for comment last week.
His boss, acting Public Works Director John Isensee, said he will wait to see if Bueno is ticketed before deciding if he will be disciplined, but said Bueno at least will be written up for entering a private vehicle.
"They have no business being in anyone's vehicle except their own," Isensee said about his parking attendants. "We don't valet park cars."
Isensee said Bueno's duties as a maintenance worker and as a relief attendant in city lots do not typically require him to drive.
Two years ago, Bueno was criminally charged in another incident involving a city vehicle.
Bueno was in a passenger in a city truck double-parked on Essex Street when a local minister who was leading the effort to recall Mayor William Lantigua photographed the vehicle because it was parked illegally.
Bueno jumped from the truck and confronted the minister, Edwin Rodriguez, shouting obscenities and bumping into him, Rodriguez told police.
"I know who (you are). You don't scare me," Bueno told Rodriguez, according to a police report. "I will put a bullet in your head. If you were in my country, I would have already put a bullet in your head and throw you in a pit," Rodriquez said Bueno told him. Bueno was born in the Dominican Republic.
Bueno was charged with assault and battery and threats to kill. The charges were dismissed. Rodriguez has taken out nomination papers to run for mayor.

I've said all along it will take 2 first round picks to get him. He's the best CB in the NFL. Keyshawn Johnson wasn't even close to the best WR in the NFL and the bucs gave up 2 first round picks for him.
There\'s a very real chance the Bucs waive [Revis] before next season. At the very least, it will be a discussion worth having.
offer #13 and a 4 year 50 mil contract. make it public so Bucs fans know the Glazers made an honest play for the best CB in football. and when they decline, dont worry about it.
i'm gonna go into my boss today and ask for a half a million.....and see if i get it!!
