If O'Dome started renovations in April of 2015, for example, it would be done until February of 2016 based on 10-month sked. ? Kevin Brockway (@gatorhoops) June 10, 2014

Shoe and accessories retailer Steven Madden Ltd. announced on Tuesday a 12 percent drop in first-quarter earnings due to weakness in women's boots, men's sport fusion product and Betsey Johnson handbags, while Kenneth Cole Productions said first-quarter earnings rose 10 percent on strong revenue gains.
For the three months ended March 31, earnings at Steven Madden fell to $9.5 million, or 43 cents a diluted share, from $10.9 million, or 50 cents, in the year-ago period. Sales for the quarter decreased 1.5 percent, to $106.7 million from $108.3 million, while same-store sales dipped 1.7 percent. Wholesale revenue was down slightly, to $82.3 million from $83 million last year, hurt by the discontinuation of Rule and L.E.I.
The company expects full-year earnings in the range of $2 to $2.10 a diluted share.
Kenneth Cole Productions said its first-quarter earnings climbed to $3.4 million, or 17 cents a diluted share, from $3.1 million, or 15 cents, in last year's period as revenue gained 6 percent, to $129.3 million from $122.6 million. Total same-store sales dropped 1.5 percent. Wholesale revenue increased 9 percent, to $82.9 million from $75.9 million a year ago.
The company announced it would assume control of its men's collection sportswear business and plans to start shipments beginning with the spring 2008 season. This venture is expected to cost about $7 million this year.
"We are enthusiastic about men's collection sportswear," chairman and chief executive officer Kenneth Cole said in a statement. "This is a unique opportunity to take control of an existing, developed, yet underpenetrated business with significant growth opportunities."
The company expects second-quarter earnings in the range of 14 cents to 16 cents a diluted share.
Separately, Kenneth Cole Productions hired Marty Nealon as the divisional president of its full-price retail stores and e-commerce businesses. Nealon has consulted with the company on strategic initiatives since August.
For four years, she was president and ceo of U.S. operations at the Home Shopping Network, and before that, for six years was chief operating officer of Claire's North America, where she was responsible for merchandising and support operation for all 2,600 stores in the U.S.
Nealon is based in New York and reports to Cole.

She succeeds Joshua Schulman, former president of Kenneth Cole New York, who took the post of ceo of Jimmy Choo last month. The rest of Schulman's responsibilities have yet to be assigned.

How to Separate Your Identity from Your Money (Part Two)
In the previous posts in this series, we covered why it is a bad idea to identify who you are as a person with how much money you have and how to take the first steps to free yourself from this problem. This post continues to explore these issues.
Separating how you view yourself from how much money you have or earn will lead to the following:
- An understanding that money is a tool. Just like any other tool that you can use to accomplish any task, money is also a tool. It is a very powerful and very flexible tool, but still a tool. It is not you. You are not money. You have the tool, meaning you have money and you can use that tool to get more money, or you can squander it and lose some of the power that the money tool has. It's up to you.
Knowing that money is a tool separate from who you are, and that you are in full control over it, should give you a certain sense of freedom in knowing that you can use this tool to earn more money and accomplish your goals without having the money control you and your actions.
- An ability to think for yourself and make the best decisions for yourself. You will no longer have to rely on personal finance "experts" to tell you what to do with your money. Now you will see money as not a part of yourself, but as something that you can use to invest for the future and improve your life.
- An awareness that money problems become objective problems and will not overwhelm you. Now, if you have a money problem, you can think about the problem just like any other, objectively and on paper, and come to a conclusion about how to deal with it. It will no longer feel like you're "drowning" or being overwhelmed by financial decisions.

1 (6- to 8-pound) beef tenderloin/filet
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
- Cut the whole tenderloin into 8-10 steaks approximately 1 to 1½ inches thick. Because the meat is very lean and contains no fat, the steaks will dry out if cut any thinner.
- Allow the tenderloin steaks to reach room temperature before cooking. Lean beef should be seared quickly, and the closer the meat is to room temperature, the faster it will sear.
- Sprinkle each steak lightly with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Grill steaks on a hot grill: Rare - 3 minutes per side or 135 degrees internal temp; Medium-Rare - 4 minutes per side or 140 degrees; Medium - 6 minutes per side or 155 degrees. Times are dependent on thickness. Meat will continue to cook a few minutes after being removed from the grill. Do not overcook. Allow to rest several minutes before serving (or all of the juices will run out when cut). Makes 8-10 servings.

Note: As of August, 2015 Arawan Thai is closed temporarily for repairs from water damage suffered from elsewhere in its building. We'll let you know when they reopen.
47 Caledonia St., Sausalito CA 94965 (See Map Below) Phone: 415-332-8207
Neighborhood: Caledonia St. (New Town). Menus are here. Street parking and free city lot nearby, but be prepared to walk a few blocks at popular times. Insiders Tip: Check out our special page on Parking Near Caledonia St. Without Getting a Ticket. It explains how to avoid the no-parking zones that catch some visitors by surprise.
|Arawan Thai did not appear in the Top 10 on any of the OurSausalito.com Best Restaurants in Sausalito lists for Autumn, 2015.
Arawan Thai
Fast Forward SummaryTM: Arawan Thai is part of a cluster of popular local restaurants near the Cinearts Marin Theatre at the southern end of the Caledonia Street neighborhood in Sausalito. Apart from the growth of Sushi Ran into a regional attraction, this is an area more often populated by residents rather than visitors. The dining room in the old building is charming and service is attentive. One of three popular local Thai places (along with Kitti's Place and the nearby Thai Terrace), each of which has its own loyal following in the local community. For the linguists in the audience: Arawan means "elephant" in Thai.
Something else that people should know about Arawan Thai? If the room is named after an elephant can the proverbial elephant be in the room? Disagree with any of our suggestions? Please let us know!

Barbara's Place has been the alternative to Davenport Dining Hall for many students, especially commuters. Currently, students are upset over the lack of options since Barb's has eliminated its daily specials. Say goodbye to all of your favorites and embrace the taqueria every day except Wednesdays, which are now strictly for Mongolian food.
Tag Archives | campus dining
Fair meal plans are not on the menu
Students are fed up with what and how they are being fed.
Dining services get new chief
Barbara's Place and Davenport Dining Hall are filled with familiar faces, workers and students greet each other as they see each other for the second, third time a day. But a fresh new face can now be spotted, as ULV's dining halls welcomes the new general manager of Bon Appétit, Heather Podsakoff.
Students raise concerns at town hall meeting
Students got the opportunity to ask 15 members of administration about hot topics such as tuition increase, the parking structure for next year and food at the Pajama Power Hour town hall meeting Monday night.
Take dining comments seriously
In the Davenport dining hall during lunch and dinner time you will hear it. The occasionally unhappy student will moan and groan about how the food of Café Bon Appétit does not satisfy his or her hunger or taste buds.
Dining hall should remain open
Our spring break is only one week long, so why do the people left on campus have nowhere to eat? Both Barbs and Davenport are closed for the week, leaving the students to buy food off campus.
Letter to the Editor
I read with interest the well versed comments about how easy it is to "sneak into" Davenport by having someone open the back gate.
Commentary: Vegetarians are people, too
In most universities, there are always students complaining about the food in their dining halls. At the University of La Verne, there is no exception. Complaints about flavor, preparation and lack of variety are always mentioned and sometimes worked on, but one thing that is never changing is the lack of options for vegetarians.
Food service workers, unite
If claims made by Bon Appétit employees are true and they wish to organize a vote to form a union, then we support them.
Time to give Barb's a chance
Inside the Campus Center during, lunch and dinner hours, students line up curving off to the left of the counter, making the small space seem hectic. But the crowd isn't from Barbara's Place crew not caring.

Any groups going before August 8, 2008 to Six Flags Over Georgia Park from the North Metro Area?
My 11-year-old son has never been, has a free ticket from getting all "A's" in school (for the second year running), and can't use his ticket again this year because of his parents' work schedule.
Please tell us if you know of any church, school, Scout, or other such group planning a trip to SFOG from Alpharetta, Duluth, or Roswell on any day before school starts. Thanks very much.

There's a big Christian concert thing on the 9th, so I'd imagine the majority of the church groups will be there that day. The park has some kind of bizarre eating triathalon event scheduled for the 8th, but I can't imagine that's going to be a massive draw (it is a workday, after all).

Thanks, Steve. I'll check with local area churches. If you hear of a specific church on the north side of Atlanta going, please let me know. Six Flags couldn't give me any hints (security). Not like the old days. Thanks again.

Beginner wanting to make first purchase
Alright so I just went snowboarding a couple times - basically my first times (I don't count the times when I was 13, 7 years ago) and I'm pretty sure I'm hooked on it. I really can't wait to go again. I fell a fair bit at first but I'm a pretty fast learner and by the end of the day I'd say I was doing pretty decent. I plan to go a lot in the future and since renting a board/boots each time costs $45~ I figure after 10 times, buying my own gear will have been worth it.
I've been doing a lot of reading about the sport and the equipment and I was going to try my best to not ask for too much help unless I really narrowed it down but I really have no idea what to buy.
Basic info I know someone will need to help me:
-height - 5'8/9ish
-Weight - 130 - this is kind of tricky for me as I'm currently skinny as hell because I've hardly done anything physical in a couple years. I don't quite like how skinny I am and I'm actually a fairly athletic person and I don't think it'll be too much of a problem for me to gain 10-15 pounds. How much this will affect my board size - I have no idea
-Boot size - 10.5/11 - I REALLY hope I won't need a wide board.. will I? D:
-Riding style - I haven't touched any park stuff other than a couple tiny jumps just to try it out but I definitely think it's something I'd get a little more into. Generally, the "all mountain" type thing interests me.
-Age - 20
-budget - I don't have the biggest budget, under $500 for board/boots/bindings would be ideal and I would LOVE to get something for less but I have doubts that it'll be possible and I really don't want to regret cheaping out on something I'll be using for some years. If an extra $100 would be worth it for me then it's not a big deal
Also - I live in BC, Canada so something I could order without too many fees would be lovely. I wish I had a couple board shops where I live to get a general idea of what I'm looking for but unfortunately I live in a tiny town with NOTHING.
The board is obviously the part I want most help with. I've been looking into used/new/old stuff and the only time I go "hey, that's not super expensive" is when I see something like a 5150 board, LTD transition board or something similar and I really have no idea if they'd be worth buying. I'm guessing the answer is no.
One last thing, I'm not saying I HAVE to make a purchase soon. I just want some general guidance. Is there a time when old stock would be going on clearance that I should consider waiting it out for or should I start right now?
Thank you SO much for any help. I'm sorry for my giant post but I figure too much information is better than too little.

Gas prices have increased throughout the holiday season, and drivers are now being warned of prices as high as $5 per gallon in coming years.
"By Nov. 2012, if we stay on the path that we're on, just in time for the presidential election, American voters will pay $5 a gallon for gasoline," former Shell Oil president John Hofmeister predicted earlier this week.
Soaring gas prices are already causing dismay, as they hit during some of the busiest travel times of the year.
"This is sort of unprecedented in the U.S. to see a spike at this time of the year," Edmunds.com executive director Paul Seredynski said.
Gas prices have hiked to more than $3 a gallon -- 76 percent higher than 2008.
"We're turning in the rental car early and switching to taxis and the Metro for the rest of the visit," one Washington, D.C., visitor said.
"Hurts a lot in the pocket," another traveler added.
There are signs of economic recovery, and the much-needed return of robust consumer spending, but persistently higher gas prices could kill those gains.
"It's almost like a 'prozac' for the country when gas prices are low," Seredynski said. "People tend to feel better about the economy. They feel more mobile. They feel they have more additional income to spend on other things."
There's no sign of gas prices falling anytime soon. Oil supply isn't going up, but the demand is increasing by billions of gallons.
"It's like we're watching a hurricane coming at us and not doing anything about it," Hofmeister explained.

NO ALCOHOL AT BEACHES We continue to have an issue with alcohol on Colony beaches. There is NO ALCOHOL allowed on any beach or Colony property at any time (without state permit and insurance cert). Police will be called and summons issued. We need your help in enforcing this. Thank you in advance.
The following amendment was formally adopted by the Colony at its regular June public meeting. It involves a series of new rules primarily regulating watercraft in excess of five persons. Please note Colony comments and reminders at the end of the amendment.
The issue of large paddle boats has been one of the most complex and difficult the Colony has faced in some time. The amendment your Board passed on 6/13/16 addresses all complaints the Colony has received over the past months, and adds a few items to provide additional safety. It also limits all watercraft to no more than eight persons.
The Colony Board would like to thank all 500 families who participated in the recent survey as well as those who provided comment at various meetings. Your opinions were all heard and carefully considered.
As our 4/12/16 report on the issue detailed, as a pure percentage there was clear majority Colonist opposition to the larger boats, and the Colony had enough reservations about safety to initially recommend to Borough Council they be prohibited altogether. Council voted down the measure largely on a technicality that the Colony could have easily modified, but some safety concerns were allayed during this timeframe. In addition, many survey respondents who cast disapproving votes also submitted comments suggesting "new rules" that could be interpreted as a condition of acceptance if enacted (enacting rules was also mentioned as an option in section G of the Colony report). In the end, your Colony Board made the decision they felt was best for all members, and we're relying on our membership to adhere to the regulations that have been approved.
We realize this resolution will not please everyone, but this is what reasonable neighbors trying to find safe compromise looks like, and it provides a fair and equal opportunity for ALL members to enjoy watercraft up to eight persons so long as they operate safely and courteously. The Colony Board is available to any member at any time to discuss this issue further, and of course your Board remains prepared to revisit any issue that affects safety and/or our membership should it be warranted.
Thank you for your continued support,
Medford Lakes Colony
(Page 3 of ML Colony regulations dated April 2016, Borough ordinance #213)
Owner or operator of watercraft rated in excess of five persons and other watercraft that require trailer egress to get on the lakes must coordinate with Colony and give minimum 24 hrs advance notice (to have Colony representative at beach at time of ingress and egress). All beach access needs to occur during off-peak beach usage hours and under direct supervision of a Colony representative.
Watercraft rated in excess of five persons will be kept at least 100 feet from all Colony beaches including designated swimming areas, such as but not limited to "Area 2" and "Area 5", and 30 feet from the edge of any roped swimming zones and Colony docks regardless of whether swimmers are present. The exception is when a watercraft owner's property exists within these boundaries, in which case operator must egress directly away from beaches/swim areas at all times when heading in & out while keeping appropriate lookout.
Watercraft in excess of five persons will not be used on Lower Aetna Lake on Canoe Carnival day/night, Mardi Gras day/night, or during any time camp is in session. Canoe Carnival Sunday is acceptable under normal rules.
All watercraft will be operated within the manufacturers' rating (people / weight limits, etc.) and according to state boating laws, with no retrofitting of items not included with the original craft (slides, added decks, second levels, etc).
Watercraft in excess of five persons must be operated by a competent adult (18yrs+) at all times, or 16yrs if a current, valid State of New Jersey Safe Boating Certificate (or USCGA equal) in the operators name is provided to the Colony in advance. No operator shall be under the influence of alcohol or drugs or otherwise operating in an unsafe manner as determined by the Colony Board.
Electric or gas power generators, propane tanks, grills, or fire are not permitted on watercraft other than those items specifically approved by the Colony in advance for participation in the Canoe Carnival parade.
All watercraft on Colony lakes will be limited to maximum 8 persons or less, as specified in manufacturer's certified capacity rating.
1. In response to comments made during recent public Colony and Borough meetings, the Colony would like to clarify the number one rule on all lakes in our town and all waterways worldwide: In every instance of possible contact or collision, the more maneuverable object must ALWAYS yield to the less maneuverable object. There is NEVER a case where a watercraft has right of way over a swimmer. There is NEVER an equal obligation for a swimmer to avoid contact with a watercraft. It is ALWAYS the responsibility of a watercraft operator to maintain a safe distance from disassociated swimmers anywhere, on any lake, at all times.
2. The Colony has the authority to enact stricter rules on watercraft – including prohibiting certain types of watercraft altogether – if in the Colony's opinion a pattern of issues occur with any specific type of craft. The amount a Colonist pays for a watercraft does not factor into Colony decisions made in the name of safety or what's in the best interest of the membership, so please keep in mind that purchasing or otherwise introducing any craft to our lakes is always done-so at the owner's sole risk.
3. All watercraft owners are responsible for keeping their watercraft secure on their property when not in personal use to prevent unauthorized persons from using them.
4. Alcohol is not permitted on Colony beaches or the lakes or on watercraft without written pre-approval from the Colony as referenced in the Colony's Property Use regulations.
