Coffee House To Restart Conversion
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
Seven months after Santa Barbara County officials halted the renovation of the structure that used to house Espresso Roma, construction on the Pardall Road building began again on Monday. The remodeling was shut down on August 12 after the county discovered that the building's owner did not have a permit for the construction. Santa Barbara County Building Inspector Curtis Jensen said a building permit was subsequently approved for Isla Vista Spot, which will replace Espresso Roma, on May 17. Isla Vista Spot, which is set to open over the summer, will serve traditional Persian food and feature a hookah lounge. Jensen said the property has not changed hands since officials stopped construction on it over the summer.He said the owner of the building, which is registered to the Edwin Olsen Trust, fulfilled all of the county's zoning and remodeling requirements before construction on the eatery started up again. Michael M., who declined to give his last name, said he is the owner of the new eatery. He said he is currently remodeling the building, and hopes to open the new restaurant in two months.

The Wednesday Hump
Orgasm Simultaneously
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
dmittedly, I've never been a great one with numbers, but there is one number I believe everyone should be readily and happily familiar with: the infamous 69. I know there are some of you out there who just can't bring yourselves to doing it, and, if asked, you have a litany of complaints about why it just isn't your style that range from "it's selfish" and "I'm not coordinated enough" to "I don't want my nose anywhere near someone's you-know-what" and "I don't like talking with my mouth full."
Bring Out Your Inner Elephant By Tanning
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
I did it. I took everything I stand for as a human being and threw it out the window. What made me digress to such drastic measures? Nothing more than a simple glance at my calendar: T-minus 14 days until my cousins wedding. And what first came to mind? Wedding cake? Dancing the night away with questionable relatives? Staking out the open bar? No, instead, my first thought was of my cousin's wedding photos -
UCSB Should Punish Serious Crimes Committed in IV
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
The topic about UCSB officials cracking down on students for off-campus offenses was not handled quite right in Monday's editorial "Hey Teachers, Leave Us Adults Alone" (Daily Nexus, May 15). I would like to point out a few shortcomings in the column that bashed this issue. Hopefully, some will see my reasoning.
Schroeder Builds SB From the Ground Up
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
In her five years at the helm of the UCSB softball team, Head Coach Kristy Schroeder has brought her team to the NCAA Tournament for the first and second time in the program's history, and that's only the latest achievement on her distinguished resume. Heavily recruited out of high school, Schroeder cancelled her recruiting trip to Cal after UCLA offered her exactly what she wanted: shortstop, academics and a strong tradition of athletic success. Schroeder played four years for the UCLA softball team and played tennis and soccer for the Bruins during her fifth year, making her the only female athlete to letter in three sports.

Wednesday, May 17, 2006
Fresh off its second Big West series win the UCSB baseball team (23-24 overall, 8-10 in the Big West) takes a break from conference action as it hosts #20 Pepperdine this afternoon. The Waves defeated the Gauchos 8-1 in mid-April. Pepperdine (36-18) closes out its regular season with the trip to Santa Barbara and is preparing for this weekend's West Coast Conference Championship Series at San Francisco. Since the two clubs last met, the Waves have won all four of their series and have posted an 11-3 mark including their current three-game winning streak. "They've been ranked most of the year and put together a good season," Head Coach Bob Brontsema said. "They've played a good schedule and are certainly in the top six schools on the West coast."
