Higher than average quality The G. Strait jeans are a heavier denim and for some reason that makes them a softer material. I notice the difference especially while driving for long hours. I also love the fact that I can buy a 37 waist (fooey on manufacturers that offer 29, 31, 33, 35 sizes buy no 37!). It also doesn't hurt that I'm a big fan of King George... April 22, 2014
Classic Product & Great Quality My husband is a Wrangler man. I buy him new pairs each year. They are good quality and they fit him perfectly. In my few dealings with Wrangler customer service I was treated very well. Thank you! February 9, 2014
Quality Jeans Comfortable jeans. My second pair. 1st pair lasted about 2 years before I wore them out. I like the way they fit and the look is good. July 23, 2013
i am a faithful fan of wrangler jeans i have always wore wrangler jeans tried a few other brands but they just don't fit like a pair of wranglers. have bought most of my wranglers from walmart in the past. have seen the error of my ways though as the ones I ordered online were way better quality than what I was used to March 13, 2013
very comfortable jeans........a little pricy though very comfortable wearing jeans, fit great, easy to move around in, although for the price, other jeans would be a much better buy. Somehow asking for a 39" waist is more expensive..........wonder why? January 11, 2013
Nice quality It would be nice if you could get these jeans in a 29 length. November 16, 2012

Sarasota to rehear Villages proposal
Date: June 17, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
SARASOTA COUNTY — After absorbing a potentially fatal blow, the future of Schroeder-Manatee Ranch's first major residential project in Sarasota County may be getting brighter.
Plans for The Villages of Lakewood Ranch South essentially were put on hold June 9 after Sarasota commissioners followed the lead of the Sarasota planning commission and rejected two of five proposed amendments to Sarasota's 2050 plan. SMR officials have said all five changes are critical for development of the property.
However, just one day after the meeting, Sarasota Commissioner Carolyn Mason, whose one vote could change the project's future, asked to rehear the item.
"We are appreciative there is going to be a reconsideration because again, the project doesn't become a reality without a favorable decision about these requests," SMR's Vice President of Planning Todd Pokrywa said. "These are the amendments that are necessary, in our opinion, needed to make 2050 work. It helps implement it."
The 2050 plan is Sarasota County's 50-year land use plan to manage and shape future growth in Sarasota County with the goal of preserving the area's resources. For the eastern portion of the county, the plan promotes a "village" concept, which creates more compact, walkable communities with areas of open space.
SMR has been working closely with Sarasota County officials on the village concept since 2003, when The Villages was selected to be a test site to see how Sarasota's 2050 Plan could be implemented. Sarasota officials toured the 5,500-acre Villages site in August 2007 so they could visualize the requests being made.
Because of their working relationship with Sarasota commissioners, SMR officials remained optimistic even after the Sarasota planning commission's decision to recommend only three of the five proposed changes. However, commissioners Jon Thaxton, Nora Patterson and Mason followed the planning commission's recommendations, opposing requests to reduce the project's eastern buffer from 550 feet to 200 feet and to eliminate the greenbelt requirement along the project's southern boundary.
However, board members did not have problems with the elimination of a 500-foot greenbelt at the northern part of the property, the elimination of a 126-acre greenway from the Gum Slough area and a modification to make Lakewood Ranch Boulevard four lanes instead of two.
SMR officials maintain that all five changes are necessary for the project to move forward.
"For SMR, nothing has changed," Pokrywa said. "All five requests are imperative for the company to pursue the project. Anything less would take a giant leap of faith to move forward. We really need the certainty and the assurance up front on these issues or we wouldn't be asking for them. They are all equally important for the feasibility of the project."
Pokrywa said the item must be re-advertised and currently is scheduled to appear before commissioners July 8.
After the revote, the commission's recommendations will go to the state Department of Community Affairs for review.

District Attorney Mike Harson of Lafayette tells LaPolitics he is "definitely" seeking re-election this fall, despite a well-funded challenge from former Assistant District Attorney Keith Stutes.
"I've heard the rumors and they are not true," Harson says. "I'm running. Why would I be raising all this money? Just to have to return it to people?"
Harson adds that his campaign finance account will have collected nearly $500,000 by the beginning of June, if not more — a sizable amount for a district attorney's race.
Stutes, who recently produced his first TV spot, reported having more than $200,000 in the bank earlier this year.
Harson also mailed out a letter to constituents recently apologizing for "the involvement of three employees in a bribery scheme" and asking them not to let it cloud their election decisions.
The ongoing investigation over DWI cases has not been connected back to Harson directly. In a prepared statement sent to LaPolitics, Stutes says he asked Harson about the program that led to the investigation when he worked for the district attorney:
The investigation and its results brought shame and embarrassment to the office. We did not receive an explanation, nor a response, much less an apology. He claims that he has been 'cleared' by the investigations, but has yet to explain how a criminal conspiracy, centered on a special program he created and in which his approval was required in every single case, could have gone on without his knowledge and consent.

Correcting a post from China Daily, the NBA forward tweeted, "Guys my chinese name is not 'Panda Friend', its 'The Pandas Friend.'" Guys my chinese name is not "Panda Friend" , its "The Pandas Friend". — mettaworldpeace.com (@MettaWorldPeace) August 7, 2014 World Peace signed a one-year deal worth $1.43 million with the Sichuan Blue Whales, naming himself after China's giant panda, which is based in Sichuan province. He had tweeted, "First thing I am doing when I get to china will be visiting Pandas with my daughter @BabyGirl_Sade." Another tweet followed with, "New Chinese name coming soon. You guys are going to love it!!!!" World Peace changed his name from Ron Artest in September 2011. A well-traveled player, he started his career with the Chicago Bulls in 1999, was traded to the Indiana Pacers in 2002, was traded to the Sacramento Kings in 2006, was traded to the Houston Rockets in 2008, was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009, then let go in 2013, whereupon he was signed by the New York Knicks in 2013 for two years, but then bought out by the Knicks 7 months later. He is most well-known for his altercation with fans in the stands in 2004, prompting an 18-game suspension, the longest suspension in NBA history for an on-the-floor incident.

By all accounts, Tuesday's Community Board 9 meeting was a doozy. From what we can piece together from some half dozen accounts in the media and what others have told us, since we weren't present, in short, a huge number of opponents of upzoning Empire Boulevard disrupted the meeting, and Community Board 9 members responded in kind. Total chaos reigned, with lots of shouting and name calling; the board could not keep order and fanned the flames.
CB9 District Manager Pearl Miles yelled "shut up" at the crowd repeatedly (there is a video), District Leader Geoffrey Davis refused to relinquish the microphone, and the police were summoned multiple times to keep order. (For a play-by-play, including an outrageous exchange between the crowd and District Leader for the 43rd Assembly Diana Richardson, read the story on Brooklyn Brief.)
Eventually, under pressure, the board took a vote on whether or not to rescind an earlier decision to study the rezoning. The vote to rescind passed, but then it turned out that it really didn't, according to New York City rules for community board votes.
In the words of Q at Parkside blogger Tim Thomas, who favors the rezoning (or at least is not opposed to it):
Karim Camara and reps from every major official, from the Mayor on down, were there and they were absolutely floored, speechless. The guy from Yvette Clarke's followed me out to the parking lot with eyes wide saying "how could you let this happen? this was INSANE!" I told him L'shanah Tova and rode home.
Meanwhile, upzoning opponent and MTOPP member Adrian Untermyer filed suit yesterday to get a copy of the community board's bylaws.
At issue is whether Prospect Lefferts Gardens will rezone to end high-rise development, which has recently taken off in the neighborhood. Some residents blame tall buildings for gentrification while others say high-rise development will bring much needed affordable housing to the area.

The Marvelous Mania
By Alistair Cooke | Hardback | 0 Review(s)
Legendary journalist and beloved TV host Alistair Cooke shares his life-long passion for golf in this stunning collection of his best writing on the sport he loved most. On a fateful day in 1964, Alistair Cooke was dragged into Van Cortland Park in New York City to play his first game of golf. He... read more was immediately hooked, and golf became his greatest passion, even though he called it "a method of self-torture, disguised as a game." No one has written more brilliantly or more lovingly about golf than he does here in this collection."Golf" gathers together for the first time the best of Cooke's pieces on what he called "the marvelous mania" and showcases the incomparable wit and mischievous charm that made Cooke one of the greatest journalists and broadcasters of the twentieth century. Languish in his prose as he describes Arnold Palmer playing in 102-degree heat in San Antonio, dapper Gary Player winning the US Open at Creve Coeur, Missouri, and Jack Nicklaus playing--and winning--almost everywhere. This is a book no golfer--pro or amateur--should be without.

Nunavut's even colder than usual:
The FoolI've got a question concerning the climate. If climate patterns continue the way people predict they will for a hundred years (I doubt any climatologist could predict that far ahead with any kind of precision, but let's pretend), when, in August without any warning at all, all of Nunavut immediately starts experiencing the coldest temperatures ever recorded on Earth (−89.2 °C) and stays that way for 10 years. What would happen to Earth's climate?

I bought these for the lower shelf on my night stands in the bedroom. I was expecting them to be identical, but what I received were two different plants, with the difference being the color of the leaves. One had all grean leaves, the other has green leaves with white around the edge of the leaves. The all green one looks very real, the one with the white edges not so much. But I don't regret buying them, and they were reasonably priced.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My child has been at this school for 2 years, has a very high GPA, takes IB/AP classes, has many friends, is in sports, all kinds of clubs and is very involved and motivated in general. student likes FHS mainly because friends go there and excels in spite of many obstacles, culture and challenges at this school. experience has been that the school climate in general is not so great. Very competitive, lack of transparency- e.g., for some club/activity selection seems to be arbitrarily exclusive, without transparency, and no due process. Teachers and counselors are overloaded, don't respond to emails or messages, and students and parents have to be very persistent to get an answer which leads to perception that lack of accountability, time or not caring or some combo. staff don't admit mistakes or like to be challenged, blame stuents .Students don't have much time to be persistent due to heavy load so concerns are dropped. Have second guessed selecting FHS, others say diff h.s. in the area get to know their students. school prepares for life because it's ruthless, not fair. good news is, if survive, can handle most anything. mostly school highly rated bc of high potential students
Great School, but I feel as though their are schools with better environments and programs in this district.
I am so glad that I went to this school. It was an amazing experience and prepared me very well for college. I am currently an elementary school teacher in a different district and wish that lived in Boulder so my kids could attend this school. Fairview's teachers were always encouraging me to follow my dreams and worked tirelessly to make sure I understood the curriculum. The choir program was outstanding and extremely fun to be a part of. I would not change my high school experience for anything. If you are looking for a great, high performing school with many different activities, clubs and classes then Fairview is a great choice.
Fairview is interested in their sports programs and only students who fit their mold. The administration want kids who don't rock the boat and toe the line. Their counselors with a few exceptions are under motivated and not creative. Fairview has some really incredible teachers who are working against an administration that only seems to care about performance and not students. So if your student has no issues, loves homework and is just another face in the crowd they will do fine. If your student questions things, is an alternative learner and wants to have any social interaction with people not into their clique, then another school might be a better fit.
I remember this school. The things that I experienced were quite surprising. As I recall they would take note of the students that had the lowest performance rates on a list... then slowly they would go through the list and encourage the student to drop out or to transfer to different schools. I assume this was to keep the ranking of the school up? I don't really know, and that practice might have changed by now. The teachers that attempted to help these students to succeed were many times overwrought with difficulty and resistance. There also seemed to be a major lack of communication across the system and intense focus in only specific areas. The building is also badly constructed for mental health as there is little natural sunlight and the shape is hive like. Many of the teachers also seemed to be overloaded with work and so students were not properly attended to. The lack of diversity is also a bit disconcerting. So, from the perspective of an alternative learner I would really suggest going somewhere else.
I went to Fairview for a year and transferred to nearby Centaurus High in May of that year, and I was floored at how incredible the difference was. At Fairview I felt like I was always working and like I was always being judged from every direction. The theatre and music departments especially were almost cruel in their ruthlessness. When I transferred I realized that the work I'd been doing at FHS was essentially busywork, and that I could learn just as well without the sadistic workload administered by FHS staff. Now in the CHS IB Programme, I can assure you that if you are eager to learn, you should come to Centaurus rather than to Fairview. The teachers there actually care and are willing to help students learn without assigning them hours upon hours of busywork, and CHS IB kids get more 1-on-1 attention because while FHS is simply too big for such rigor, Centaurus IB classes hover around 20 students. The IB test results and a 95% success rate at CHS demonstrate this perfectly. Please, if you want to do IB, don't let the test scores fool you. As a former student, I know that this school is not for kids who enjoy learning and achieving. It is a school for kids who enjoy working.
As a sophomore who attends FHS, I have a very different perspective from many of the parents whose kids attend Fairview. What you should know right off the bat is that Fairview is a VERY competitive school. The work is difficult if you are in Pre-IB/AP/IB classes. The IB Diploma is an insane amount of work, basically you don't have a life outside of school. Although the IB Diploma is good, it doesn't do much for you unless you are going to college out of the country or are planning to be in the very top of your class and attend an Ivy League School. I do not take part in any sports but I know for a fact that many of them are good. The teacher at Fairview from very good to good to very bad.The Social Studies department has some phenomenal teachers, especially Pre-IB teachers. The music department is also very very good. In my opinion the best in the district, if not the state. The bottom line is if you are willing to work your butt off and are willing to learn then Fairview is the perfect school for you.
Fairview High School has a dedicated stuff of teachers, counselors, and administrators who really care about our students, and they push our kids to succeed.
Fairview is a great school for people with any strengths and interests. The athletic program is very strong and wins, even in the 5A division (the largest high school division)- in the past year, the football team made the state Final Four, the boys' basketball team made the state finals, and both the ultimate frisbee and girls' soccer teams won their respective state championships. Many other teams made other levels in the playoffs. The fine arts department is exceptional- the advanced choirs are well known. The academic program is clearly well ahead of almost all other public high schools- the test scores from Fairview are very high (SAT, ACT, PSAT, CSAP, AP, IB, etc.) and many seniors each year are accepted into top universities. IB is a challenging, rigorous program. Student Council, Knight Crew, and NHS develop leadership.
Fairview High School provided me with exellent academics, incredible athletics, and an outstanding fine arts program. I felt independent to choose my own path for my future but knew that any path I would be guided by the fantastic academics of Fairview High School.
Fairview High School not only excels in academic performance but the staff and faculty provide a caring and nurturing environment for every student
FHS has a variety of courses for every child and excels in academic performance.
As a former student, I truly cannot give high enough praise to the quality of the academics, athletics, and extracurriculars of Fairview High School.
Fairview is wonderful. My daughter has been in the IEP program and the support and hard work these teachers give has been exceptional.
We've pretty much had it with Fairview. My child isn't in the IB program and virtually every teacher he has had in a year and a half have been entrenched, inflexible and unresponsive. It's difficult to get a hold of teachers (voice mail box system doesn't allow you to leave messages with most after school hours). We're pulling my son out at the end of the semester.
Fairview has been a wonderful school. It offers challenges that I and my son expect in its IB program along with an excellent choice of extracurricular activities for those who want to participate. We feel that we are definitely on the right track for college and Fairview is helping us to achieve that. Of course, with Fairview or any other high school it is what you make of it and how much effort you are willing to put into your education.
Fairview has undergone a tremendous amount of change over the last 4 years. The current school administration is much more caring, involved, and consistent with the students, the parents, the teachers and the community. The IB program is unique as one does not have to test into the program and one can pick and choose whether to take an IB core class or a regular level core class. Teachers who teach both IB and non-IB classes are the better teachers. There are some non-IB teachers who are awful, especially in the Language Arts department. The Math and Science departments are very challenging, regardless of whether you are an IB or non-IB student due to expectations and in some cases, the teacher. The fine arts department produces fantastic productions. Vocational education is available as half day classes during junior and senior year. Many seniors are accepted into top universities.
This is a great school for the kids in the IB program. The kids not in the IB program can get the short stick at times. My child has had some good teachers, and some awful teachers. In particular, we've found the social studies program to be the highlight in regards to teachers....even for kids just taking regular, and not IB and AP classes. It also has a wonderful music program.
A truly outstanding public high school with world-class academics and extracurricular activities. The workload is considerable, the expectations are high, and the students themselves - at least at the IB level - have little tolerance for the kind of distractions that so often plague our public schools. A great place for a kid to get an education; one should expect no less from a staff of the caliber of the one at Fairview.
great school, teachers.
