Best Uses
Eh. I went boarding 4 times in these and the down started leaking. I own a few DT products and am very happy with them. I was super surprised the quality didn't uphold for this product. I was also very upset. I'm from Texas and I moved to Gunnison, CO and I need warmth.
Now, I just won't buy any down products from Duluth. But the outer shell was great quality. They were also fairly comfortable unless sitting down. Though, I believe that's just the nature of snow bibs.
Can't recommend them unless you won't be doing any movement in them. That's why I think they're more for non-mobile activities like sledding.
Best Uses
OK, I waited until they went on sale before I got off my wallet...should have bought them earlier...would have been worth the higher price.
There is not enough words to adequately describe just how much better these are than any of the other bibs I've tried over the years, and believe me, I've tried them all.
Those other bibs still have their uses, but when it gets downright nasty these are my only choice.
I went to their store and was lucky enough to get these during an in-store sale they were having. I looked at the Superior Bib at first. They have more of a canvas feel to them where these have more of a cordura feel. Great wide zippers. Pockets are perfect and they fit true. I'm 5'9" and 175#. I bought Medium/30". If you're a little thicker in the belly, you may want to go with a Large. I've been out in the snow playing w/the kids, shoveling, etc and have warm and completely dry. They may cost a little more, but they are worth every penny.
Best Uses
This is great for cold weather. It maintains warmth during high winds (60 mph+); fits great and is easy to get on & off with the long zippers in the legs.
Best Uses
My husband works outdoors and he says these are the best coveralls he's ever had. The heavy duty fabric will last a long time which justifies the price tag. Really nice fit and good quality!

Saturday, Dec. 3 • 7 p.m. CT
Hofheinz Pavilion (8,500) • Houston, Texas
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE AUDIO: GoIslanders.com
LIVE STATS/VIDEO: UHCougars.com
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team (1-4) hits the road for a Saturday evening contest at the University of Houston (3-3). Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. at Hofheinz Pavilion. This is the final contest for the Islanders before fall semester finals, and the team embarks on an 11-day break before playing host to South Alabama on Thursday, Dec. 15.
The Islanders have lost their last two games, both to Big 12 foes, with Texas A&M toppling the team 56-43 and Texas Tech knocking them off 61-54 on Thursday. Terence Jones had a career-high 26 points in the defeat to the Red Raiders, while Chris Hawkins-Mast had 16. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi committed just five turnovers – a school record – in the loss.
Houston has played five of its six games this season at home, posting a 2-3 record at Hofheinz Pavilion. The Cougars have lost their last three games, falling by a combined total of four points over those three contests.
Terence Jones scored a career-high 26 points and Chris Hawkins-Mast matched his career mark with 16, but Texas Tech was able to hold on for a 61-54 victory over the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi basketball team on Thursday night. The Islanders played in front of a season-high 2,719 fans.
Jaye Crockett led the Red Raiders (4-3) with 12 points and nine boards, while four other Tech players finished with eight points or more. Hawkins-Mast topped the Islanders with nine rebounds, while Johnathan Jordan had a career-best six assists. A&M – Corpus Christi (1-4) had a season-low five turnovers in the loss.
Houston enters this weekend at 3-3 after three consecutive heartbreaking losses. The Cougars fell to Oakland, 76-74, to TCU, 81-80, and LSU, 59-58. In the two most recent outings, Houston held the lead until the final second, with TCU hitting the winning layup with one tick on the clock and LSU knocking down two free throws just before the buzzer.
UH has five players in double figures, led by Alandise Harris' 18.3 per contest. Kirk Van Slyke has added 13.2, while TaShawn Thomas has scored 10.0 points and grabbed 7.5 rebounds per contest.
Last season's matchup resulted in an 81-78 overtime victory for the Islanders, the first triumph for Texas A&M - Corpus Christi in the all-time series. Terence Jones had 16 points and six rebounds in the game, while Chris Hawkins-Mast scored seven points and had two steals.
The Islanders are 1-4 against the Cougars in the history of the two programs, including an 0-3 mark in Houston.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi now enters a period of 11 days off while the team focuses on finals, which begin on Thursday, Dec. 8. This will be the longest break for the Islanders this season. The only other respite that nearly rivals this break was the seven days off between the Denver and Utah State games.
The Islanders will need to store up their rest, though, as after the break they play five games in an eight-day span. After the game against the Jaguars, the Islanders play West Virginia, Missouri State and two games in Las Vegas as part of the Las Vegas Classic.
The Islanders have steadily improved their ball handling over the last few games, but still were averaging 15.3 turnovers per game heading into Thursday night's contest. But against Texas Tech, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi took its ballhandling to a new level, setting a school record by committing just five turnovers.
Chris Hawkins-Mast and Johnathan Jordan had two turnovers each, and the fifth turnover was on a shot-clock violation. The previous low was seven turnovers, against Sam Houston State last season and in 2006 against IPFW.
Junior Terence Jones is the team's leading returning scorer from last season, but had struggled to heat up in the offensive end over the first four games of the season. That all changed on Thursday against Texas Tech, as the Baltimore native went off for a career-high 26 points on 9-of-19 shooting.
It was the most points for an Islander since Justin Reynolds scored 26 against UT-Arlington on March 2, 2011. Jones' effort buoyed the Islanders outside shooting, as he went 4-for-9 from long range in the contest. Jones scored more threes in the game than the Islanders had as a team in any prior contest this season.
After struggling in the opener at Oklahoma State, Jones came out sizzling in the home opener, draining his first three shots – two from beyond the arc – and scoring the Islanders' first eight points. He finished the game with 11.
Jones improved again against Utah State, scoring 14 points and hitting three crucial free throws in overtime to help seal the victory over the Aggies. He was 3-for-23 from long distance and shooting just 26.3 percent prior to Thursday's scoring barrage.
The Islanders point guard this season may be one of the smallest players in the Southland Conference, but what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in athletic ability. Houston native Johnathan Jordan stands just 5-foot-10, but his extreme athleticism and basketball IQ are the aspects of his makeup that are far more important to the Islanders.
At the end of the Denver game, he was a one-man wrecking crew. The freshman had two steals and eight points during a 10-0 run that drew the Islanders within three points with 26 seconds to play.
He has been impressive leading the Islanders offense with his 19 assists and is among the SLC leaders with 3.8 per game. He had a career-best six dimes against Texas Tech while committing two turnovers.
After being a role player in his first season for the Islanders, senior Chris Hawkins-Mast has emerged as one of the team's go-to guys on the offensive end. Hawkins-Mast led the Islanders with 23 points in the exhibition against UIW, then led all scorers in the game at Oklahoma State, netting 14.
He had gone cold for a couple games before re-emerging with 16 points and nine boards against Texas Tech.
Hawkins-Mast has been arguably the hardest worker on the team, spending a tremendous amount of time on his jump shot outside of practice. The result has been a significant improvement in that area while still possessing his ability to get to the rim.
The native of Washington, D.C., attended a pair of junior colleges before landing at the Island University prior to the 2010-11 season. He went by the name "Chris Mast" a year ago, but chose to use his full legal name to honor his mother, whose maiden name is Hawkins.

A frantic call from Dad earlier tipped me off to the fact that I hadn't quite removed all traces of Linux from the Vaio - I'd forgotten about LILO, and now the bootloader was complaining noisily.

Drug dog sniffs out pot, leads to 2 arrests
Published: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 2:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 2:02 p.m.
Deputies arrested and charged two suspects Saturday with possession with intent to sell 6 pounds of marijuana with a street value worth about $28,000, according to Major Frank Stout with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies stopped a 2002 Honda Accord for a traffic violation on U.S. 25 near N.C. 225 Saturday and noticed that the suspects were acting suspiciously, Stout said in a news release.
A drug dog was called in and sniffed the car, and deputies found the pot in a box that the suspects claimed carried picture frames.
Cam Luu Doung, 26, and Hoi Vong Ly, 32, both of Georgia, were charged with felony possession of marijuana, felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana and felony maintaining a vehicle.
They are being held at the Henderson County Detention Facility in lieu of $24,000 secured bond each.

At QueerPHC, we welcome guest posts that are affirming and relevant to LGBTQ students and graduates of Patrick Henry College. To submit your own guest post, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm an alumna of PHC, and I'm going to tell you how I – finally – came out of the closet. If you are at PHC, you probably haven't heard a lot of narratives from people in the LGBTQ community, let alone happy ones, let alone from someone who shares your background.
I was home-schooled overseas; the fundamentalist, non-denominational Bible church that my grandfather founded was the locus of my social life. I never fit in with the girls at youth group and preferred to shoot hoops with the guys. Boys were my pals, not my crushes. I pushed down any inklings that I was gay. I told myself that I had more important things to think about than love, like college admissions. I remember catching myself staring at bikini-clad women on the beach. This is wrong, I told myself. Not only is it a sin, but if I tell anyone of these inclinations, even my parents, I will be seen as an abomination. And so I didn't. I didn't even fully admit these tendencies to myself.

Sorry Pork, Rabbit is the New "Other" White Meat
Are you ready for the latest "it" protein to hop its way into your diet?
Of course, Europeans have been eating proteins we find distasteful since long before "we" were even a nation. Then, we became a country that eschews chowing down on "cute" mammals in favor of the less furry, cuddly types just, well, just because.
Now, if you listen to the reports, it seems that rabbit, in all of its twitchy-nosed, cotton-tailed adorableness is poised to grab a share of our very own protein market.
READ: 7 Best and Worst Sugar Substitutes
ABC news says that we are consuming more rabbit than "at any time since WWII" (when most beef was sent to nourish the troops overseas) and cites Ariane Daugin, founder and CEO of specialty meat supplier D'Artagnan, as proof. "It started slowly," she says. "At first, it was only the fancy restaurants who bought -- the ones with the Michelin stars. They started offering rabbit as a special. Then little by little they put it on the regular menu. Then more recently, in the past couple of years, the lower-cost bistros started to carry it. Then it showed up at retail. Two years ago, we were very surprised to get a call from one of the giant supermarkets asking for it."
Not surprisingly, the majority of us still have an "issue" as Thomas Schneller, a butchery professor at the esteemed American Culinary Institute, tells the news outlet. And this, he says, stems from our love affairs with the Easter (and Bugs) Bunny.
Schneller says that rabbit, which is easily digested, supremely high in protein, very low in fat and rich in those elusive Omega-3 fatty acids, is an "efficient meat" because, "using the same amount of food and water a cow needs to produce a pound of meat, rabbits produce five."
So what does bunny taste like? It's got to be game-y right? Nope. Schneller says that, "It's lean. It's interesting" and, naturally as the old joke goes, "It's similar to chicken."

Re: "Gun violence reality," by Vincent Capozzella, letters, April 19.
I was wondering about the "recent attempt by 90 percent of the American people to mandate gun laws with a background check. Did they poll all 300 million Americans? That would be the most accurate way to know what Americans want. I expect it was a selected snap shot poll. I would like to clarify that clips feed into a magazine. There is a difference between clips and magazines. Any lifelong hunter should know the difference. This a problem with the general public and elected officials who propose laws - they are uninformed. Now as for the Second Amendment, it is not specific to hunting, shooting or collecting of firearms. It was put in place to protect "we the people," so to speak, from the government when they get out of control as the British did several hundred years ago. 1776 happened for a reason. As stated in Vincent's letter, sheriff's departments around the state will not enforce some laws passed by the state assembly. Laws have always been selectively enforced, this includes federal, state and local laws agencies. I am sure there is a law that says you can not tie your horse up outside a bar on Sunday in Silverthorne that was not enforced at the ODI.

"Over the past three years, the amount of new acreage of seasonally flooded rice habitat enrolled in the program has declined to less than 5 percent of the total," states Eric Lindstrom, DU biologist for the TPWP.
Even in areas where there is a strong rice base, Lindstrom encourages landowners to manage for native vegetation for several reasons. Moist-soil plants contain specific proteins and amino acids not found in agricultural grains. The seeds also last longer than corn or soybeans when flooded, providing birds with a dependable food source throughout winter. And flooded natural vegetation supports a diverse invertebrate community that waterfowl use to build up protein reserves. Finally, as many of the previously farmed areas revert to natural wetlands, there is an abundant seed source available that yields productive moist-soil habitat.
Today, prime waterfowl foraging and resting habitat established through the TPWP is beginning to offset the state's serious coastal wetland losses. Private landowners are central to the success of the TPWP because they control more than 97 percent of the land in Texas and understand the importance of restoring wildlife habitat on their lands. Many landowners who complete a wetland project recognize its multiple benefits for wildlife and sign up for additional projects. These landowners have spread the word about partnering with DU among their neighbors, and today demand for wetland restoration by landowners exceeds the funding resources available to Ducks Unlimited and its conservation partners in Texas.
For more information on the Texas Prairie Wetlands Project, contact DU Biologist Eric Lindstrom at 832-595-0663 or email@example.com.

Thursday, March 14, 2013
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia lawmakers plan to end their annual legislative session in late March.
A resolution adopted Thursday by the House of Representatives has set the final day for March 28. The last day is commonly called Sine Die, which means adjourning without setting another meeting. House Majority Leader Larry O'Neal said there is a possibility the schedule could be changed depending on how quickly a budget is passed.
By law, the General Assembly meets only 40 working days annually.
Lawmakers usually spend the final day frantically voting on last-minute legislation. Bills not approved by both the House and Senate by Day 40 automatically fail for the year.

Sobrato and Valley Christian put on an offensive show in the second half Saturday night at Live Oak High. But the Warriors also scored early and often in the first half and hung on to defeat Sobrato 52-42.
Valley Christian (6-6) faces Aptos (10-2) next Saturday for the Central Coast Section Division III title at 3:30 p.m. at Independence High.
"We watched (Aptos) play last night," Valley Christian coach Mike Machado said. "They play good defense. We'll just do what we've done all season. Just need to clean up some things."
The Warriors got on the board on their first possession with a 10-yard run by Kirk Johnson, who also scored on runs of 65, 45, and 30 yards. Two big plays on the first drive were a 32-yard run by Ryan Severson and a 24-yard pass to Brandon Alexander from Jay MacIntyre.
MacIntyre was 3-of-3 passing for 103 yards, Johnson had 17 carries for 241 yards, and Severson had 20 carries for 183 yards.
"Severson closed in on 2,000 yards tonight for the season," Machado said. "And Johnson is a sophomore and is around 1,200 yards."
At the end of the first half, with Sobrato on the Warriors' 30-yard line MacIntyre picked off a pass from Michael Bocksnick in the end zone. Valley Christian led 25-14 at halftime.
After scoring on each possession of the second half, Valley Christian came up with another big stop
With 2:36 left in the game, Valley Christian's Bryce Novak picked off a Bocksnick pass intended for JoJo Nunn.
"We've had the top offense in the league all season," Machado said. "But, we have to be able to play both ends. We struggled with defense at times during the game. Both teams wanted their defense to step up and get the stop, and our guys managed to get it."
On the play, Sobrato's Nunn was knocked unconscious. Play was halted for about 20 minutes before he was carted off on a stretcher. The severity of the injury was not immediately known, but he flashed a "thumbs-up" sign as he was taken off the field.
With 2:16 left in the third quarter, Sobrato called on a special play for a 40-yard touchdown pass to Nick Hardy from his brother Isaiah Hardy.
"We call it the Hardy connection," said Nick Hardy. "We've been practicing it all week, and it worked out perfectly."
The score pulled Sobrato within three points, 31-28.
Valley Christian's next possession lasted 2 minutes, 27 seconds and six plays, finishing with a 65-yard touchdown run by Johnson.
Sobrato again pulled within three points two plays later on an 80-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Hardy from Bocksnick. Isaiah Hardy finished with four catches for 170 yards.

Yeah I always end up saying 'shut the fuck up gorilla magilla' at inappropriate moments. I still watch this a few times a year, it's my go-to dvd for whenever new people come round my house, it's a good test. Always felt to me like the film equivalent of the 'sick of' series. Love the full live performance that's included too!

I bought this when it first came out...like 5 years ago. I really enjoyed it. Then it was borrowed to a friend or misplaced and I haven't seen it since. It was like the world only wanted me to watch it a few times before it moved it somewhere else to be enjoyed. His performance of specialist on that DVD is one of my favorites.
Good vibes.

I am gonna weigh in here and share my love for the DVD. It's a great document, much much more than any other music DVD I have (or have seen). I love the documentary bits, the Liu Kang segment is golden and I am thankful for the addition of the concert.
Here's hoping to another one, and being happy with Life is Easy.

In his praise of cheese, American writer Clifton Fadiman proclaimed, "Cheese is milk's leap toward immortality." Legend has it, more than 4,000 years ago, man discovered milk mixed with a bit of fig or thistle flowers or left in a vessel made from a sheep's stomach containing rennet fermented into what we now call cheese. It was probably more akin to cottage cheese or feta, but it was a miracle of fermentation that would one day be cherished when paired with the fermented products of grapes and grains. Cheese, wine and bread - a transcendental combination of flavors and textures with roots in antiquity.
The exact origins of cheese are unknown, and I could find no "inventors" of it, but I applaud their foresight. The enduring place cheese has found in cultures throughout the globe proves Fadiman was spot on. Since Murray Greenberg opened his Greenwich Village butter and egg shop in 1940, Murray's Cheese has been doing its share to insure the immortality of fermented milk in America, first in New York City and now throughout the country. In 1990, Rob Kaufelt purchased Murray's and set off to transform it into a cheese and charcuterie emporium. Now, through a partnership with Kroger's, Murray's has brought the wide world of cheese to Avon City Market.
In 2008, Kroger and Murray's entered into an agreement to embed Murray's Cheese Shops in Kroger stores. To date, there are 12 Murray's kiosks in Colorado stores. With more than 110 different cheeses from nine families, these kiosks are, in essence, cheese supermarkets. Spending a day in Avon City Market's kiosk surrounded by an abundance of cheese alongside well-trained staff seemed the perfect opportunity for a behind-the-scenes experience.
Cheese Master Jessica Tzitzicas and Leesa Rodriguez were excellent "cheese mentors," displaying a keen knowledge about the product they so proudly sell. I felt as though they personified the cheese, bringing it to life. Murray's passion for cheese excellence is manifested in staff education, requiring employees to taste three cheeses each day. This was my favorite part of my experience, although it lacked the pleasure of a wine pairing. This daily education provides staff firsthand knowledge that's helpful when guiding customers through the somewhat daunting choices before them. The Murray's tasting log journal gives a broad array of tasting parameters for staff members to consider when tasting: milk type, family, appearance/texture and 38 different flavors and aromas, such as gamy, assertive, woodsy and, my personal favorite, stinky.
Each day begins with a "cheese walk." For nearly two hours, Tzitzicas and I handled each piece of cheese, checking for expiration dates and wrapping integrity. Do the math. There are 110 types of cheese, each displayed with a minimum of four cut pieces, sometimes 10 to 20. On the low end 800, but probably more than 1,000 pieces are checked each morning. It's back-breaking and hand-chilling work that's required to insure product freshness and to comply with onerous regulations that shorten shelf life and result in tragic wastefulness. But I'll leave that diatribe for a later column.
Some experts believe the increase of lactose intolerance in America is due to pasteurization of milk, a process that removes enzymes and decreases vitamin content. For many, goat- and sheep-milk products offer an alternative source of dairy. A stroll through the Murray's display is reassurance that being lactose intolerant in Avon doesn't necessarily mean living a cheese-free life. There are a number of intriguing options made from goat and sheep's milk. Of the eight different goudas, one is a delicious, flavorful goat gouda Tzitzicas refers to as the "gateway to gouda." Goat Brie is a perfect alternative to cow's milk bloomy rind cheeses. Two different Manchego cheeses - young and one-year aged - will delight lovers of this Spanish sheep's milk cheese. Great choices, not compromises.
In the two long cases, cheese is arranged according to families, such as blue, bloomy, named for the flower-like blooms seen on the rind under a microscope, melting, cheddar, flavored, gouda, grate/crumble, washed rind and specialty. As much as I love cheese and enjoy it most evenings after dinner, it would still take me close to a year to go through them all. But I'll try.
In addition to these families, there are some excellent offerings of mozzarella, ricotta, creme fraiche, marscapone and other goodies. I have to admit that while I'm a ricotta purist, the Calabro whole-milk ricotta is a great go-to brand. It's a far cry from the rubbery, factory-produced curds that sadly go by the name "ricotta."
If you like your cheese on crackers, the Murray's kiosk has a great assortment to suit any palate. There is also an array of honeys and marmalades to embellish your savory cheese with a sweet taste. To round out your antipasti platter, there are many choices from the well-stocked olive bar and a nice selection of salami, including the delicious Creminelli brand.
A word on the olive bar. I know you're dying to taste the olives before you commit to a purchase. But please, don't reach in and grab one or even take one off the ladle. The five-second rule doesn't apply here, and it's been debunked anyway. Tasting cups are available for sampling. Keep in mind that our overzealous bureaucrats require the entire crock - and they are big - to be tossed if a precocious child or a curious adult reaches in for a taste.
The olives are not the only items available for sampling. See a cheese that intrigues you, but you balk about the price for an unknown taste? Ask for a sample. See a cheese that you'd love to buy, but the piece is too big or, perhaps, too small? Ask for an amount to suit your needs, and the staff will gladly cut it for you. Tzitzicas said their job is 1 percent cheese and 99 percent customer service. Now having been on both the giving and receiving end of their customer-service philosophy, I can attest to their success in insuring customers go home happy. They'll come back if they are.
Working at my research targets enables me to get the full experience and see things I might not normally pick up in an interview. Case in point - cheese signs. Between the knowledgeable, friendly staff and the informative signs on each cheese, customers can get a plethora of information on their cheese purchases. But I noticed signs disappeared as the day passed. Apparently, this isn't unusual. Sad because the cost involved in replacing the stands is not small and they are happy to make up a sign for you. Just ask.
After nearly seven hours of cutting, wrapping and weighing cheese and helping customers choose that perfect fermented delicacy, I was ready to call it a day - but not before choosing some goodies to take home for my own little wine and cheese dinner. A little goat gouda, wedge of Brie de Nangis and a hunk of Piemontese Robiola Bosina were the perfect companions for a bottle of Ca' del Baio Barbaresco Pora waiting for me at home. Il formaggio paradiso!

Partnership to build 600 homes
Published: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 9:50 p.m.
LAKEWOOD RANCH - With new home sales heating up again in Southwest Florida, the developer of this master-planned community has sold a partial ownership interest in 475 acres of property through a deal valued at $45 million.
The buyer, Starwood Land Ventures LLC, formed a partnership that will develop more than 600 luxury homes on the property.
Schroeder-Manatee Ranch Inc. chief executive Rex Jensen said the new partnership also will free up capital for needed infrastructure and amenities.
"This gives us access to capital and relieves us of a financial risk," Jensen said of the Starwood venture. "This won't change how we do things, but it could speed up development beyond what we normally would do."
The transaction comes as luxury real estate in Southwest Florida has soared to post-recession highs, and buyers have flocked to Lakewood Ranch for more upscale residences. In response, SMR is moving forward with several new developments aimed at capturing those customers.
The new partnership will accelerate construction of a 12,000- square-foot clubhouse at the Royal Lakes golf course. But the course itself is not part of the partnership and will remain wholly owned by SMR.
SMR earlier this summer announced plans for a multimillion-dollar expansion to the community's flagship golf and country club, which is near the 475 acres being developed with Starwood. Royal Lakes' current clubhouse is a temporary building with a shell parking area. The permanent clubhouse will include a golf pro shop, a bar and grill and a paved parking lot.
An existing, 11,000-square-foot fitness area at the club's Athletic Center also will be expanded, by nearly 7,000 square feet.
Home sales increase
The joint development venture and clubhouse expansion plans have been fanned by a sharp increase in home sales in Lakewood Ranch this year.
Builders in the master-planned community, which straddles Sarasota and Manatee counties, have sold 418 new houses though early September, a 5.3 percent increase from 2012. The average price for those homes has jumped 8 percent -- or about $30,000.
SMR also is breaking ground on new apartment complexes, an age-restricted community and more neighborhoods aimed at families, similar to its Central Park subdivision.
"We have gotten more aggressive in terms of building more communities, and this transaction plays into that," Jensen said Monday. "The improving economy is a huge factor."
A shift for Starwood, too
For Starwood, the new partnership with SMR also represents a shift from its past business strategy.
Based in Lakewood Ranch since its creation in the mid-2000s, the firm has largely focused on acquiring raw land at bargain prices in vibrant areas, including Orlando. In late 2010, it bought a 1,500-unit, master-planned community called Summerlake for more than $27 million, and followed that deal with another Orlando acquisition a year later. The company now controls four of the 10 best-selling master-planned communities in the Orlando market, according to Metrostudy Corp.
"We have always been looking for a local buy," Starwood CEO Mike Moser said. "The broader economy is improving, and certainly we're seeing that with the housing market. We think this recovery will continue."
The rebound in golf course home sales in Lakewood Ranch also marks a reversal from a prolonged trend of golf's popularity waning. Many golf and country clubs in the area and nationwide have lost members and have turned to special promotions and offered new services to stay afloat and remain competitive.
