Sir Thomas Fairfax - Early Life & Career:
Born at Denton Hall, Yorkshire on January 17, 1612, Thomas Fairfax was the eldest son of Ferdinando, 2nd Lord Fairfax and Mary Sheffield. Receiving his education at St. John's College, Cambridge, he also studied law at Gray's Inn between 1626 and 1628. Finishing his schooling, Fairfax elected to gain military experience by taking part in Sir Horace de Vere's expedition to Brabant in the Netherlands. Fighting with the Protestants, he saw action during the Siege of 's-Hertogenbosch. Utilizing his connection to de Vere, Fairfax married his commander's daughter, Anne, in June 1637. Eager to continue his military pursuits, he led a troop of Yorkshire dragoons north as part of King Charles I's army in 1639. In this role, Fairfax took part in the First Bishops' War which ended before any major fighting occurred.
Returning north in 1640, Fairfax marched with Royalist forces during the Second Bishops' War. Engaging a Scottish Covenanter army led by General Alexander Leslie, the English were badly defeated at the Battle of Newburn on August 28. Routed, Fairfax's men were among those who fled south. Despite this setback, Charles knighted him in January 1641 in recognition of his services during the campaigns. Over the next year, Fairfax and his father distanced themselves from Charles as they became angered by his use of royal prerogative. As the relationship between Charles and Parliament soured in 1642, the Fairfaxes, unlike many of the Yorkshire nobility, elected to oppose the king. On June 3, Charles summoned the gentry of Yorkshire to Heworth Mew and attempted to raise a force of personal guards with the intention of using it as the basis for a larger army.
Sir Thomas Fairfax - The Civil War Begins:
At Heworth, Lord Fairfax was asked by Parliament to present a proclamation to Charles calling for reconciliation. Evading Fairfax's efforts, Charles finally took possession of the document when the younger Fairfax effectively forced it upon him. Moving south to Nottingham in August, Charles raised his battle standard on the 22nd and opened the English Civil War. In the north, Lord Fairfax received command of Parliament's small Northern Association army with his son as second-in-command. While the Fairfaxes commenced operations in the north, Charles pushed south and engaged the Earl of Essex at the inconclusive Battle of Edgehill on October 23. The following March saw Sir Thomas Fairfax badly beaten by Lord George Goring at the Battle of Seacroft Moor in West Yorkshire. Seeking to take Royalist prisoners that could be exchanged for the men lost at Seacroft Moor, Fairfax mounted a raid on Wakefield on May 20. Attacking the town, his men carried the defenses in heavy fighting and captured an ill Goring. Sent south, Goring was held at the Tower of London until 1644.
Sir Thomas Fairfax - A Rising Star:
In an effort to regain the initiative for the Royalist cause, the Earl of Newcastle marched to attack the Fairfaxes at Bradford the following month. Though badly outnumbered, the Fairfaxes were not prepared to withstand a siege and marched out to battle Newcastle. Striking at Adwalton Moor on June 30, their initial attacks were successful but they were eventually overwhelmed by the Royalists. Forced to retreat, they effectively ceded all of Yorkshire to the Royalists except for the port of Hull and Bradford. Realizing that Bradford could not be held, Lord Fairfax directed his remaining forces to move to Hull. During the course of the retreat, Lady Anne Fairfax was captured and Sir Thomas wounded in the wrist. Fortifying Hull, the Fairfaxes were besieged by Newcastle that September. While Newcastle attempted to reduce the city, Charles was defeated by Essex at the First Battle of Newbury to the south.
Resupplied by sea, the defenders of Hull continued to hold out against Newcastle. On September 26, the younger Fairfax ferried his cavalry and dragoons across the River Humber and moved to unite with the Eastern Association army. Taking part in the victory at Winceby in October, he operated with Colonel Oliver Cromwell for the first time. This triumph was followed by the capture of Gainsborough in December and the relief of Nantwich in January 1644. Riding north in March, Fairfax reunited with his father and captured Selby on April 11 before joining the combined army of the Earl of Leven and Earl of Manchester. The victory at Selby threatened the Royalist base at York which necessitated Newcastle to move to defend the city. Concerned about the situation, Charles dispatched an army north under Prince Rupert of the Rhine. On July 2, the two sides clashed at the Battle of Marston Moor. In the course of the fighting, Sir Thomas' cavalry was beaten by Goring, but the situation was rescued by Cromwell and Manchester. Counterattacking, they drove the enemy from the field and shattered Rupert and Newcastle's army.
Sir Thomas Fairfax - The New Model Army:
In the wake of the victory at Marston Moor, Parliamentary forces captured York and moved to eliminate other Royalist garrisons in the north. While besieging Helmsley Castle, Fairfax sustained a wound from a musket ball that broke his shoulder. Recovering, he joined Colonel John Lambert in attacks against Pontefract Castle late that year. In December, Parliament passed the Self-Denying Ordinance which prohibited members of Parliament from holding military command. Largely an attempt to prevent political quarrels from hampering military operations, the law compelled many of the senior Parliamentarian leaders, such as Essex, to relinquish command. On January 6, 1645, the New Model Army was established in an effort to create a unified army to replace the local forces that had been utilized earlier in the conflict. Respected as a commander and lacking political office, command of the new army was given to Fairfax as captain-general. In this new role, he was supported by Major General Philip Skippon who led the infantry and Cromwell who served as lieutenant general of horse.
Instilling a deep sense of discipline in his new command, Fairfax received orders from Parliament that directed him to first relieve the siege of Taunton before striking at Oxford. Increasingly frustrated by Parliament's meddling, he took strategic control of the New Model Army in May after Royalist forces sacked Leicester. Promptly going on the offensive, Fairfax moved away from Oxford and marched north. Meeting Charles' army at the Battle of Naseby on June 14, he won a decisive victory. A turning point in the conflict, Naseby saw the Royalist cause suffer major blow. Promptly moving west, Fairfax sought to eliminate a Royalist force led by Goring which had besieged Taunton. Re-taking Leicester, the New Model Army pressed towards the beleaguered town. Learning of Fairfax's approach, the outnumbered Goring broke off the siege and began retreating. Catching the Royalists on July 10, Fairfax effectively destroyed Goring's army at the Battle of Langport. Campaigning through the fall and into early 1646, he captured Bristol and Dartmouth as well as defeated Sir Ralph Hopton at Torrington. Returning east, Fairfax compelled the surrender of Oxford in June.
Sir Thomas Fairfax - Later Commands:
Having surrendered himself to the Scots in May 1646, Charles was turned over to Parliament in early 1647. Meeting the king near Nottingham, Fairfax escorted him to captivity at Holdenby House. Named commander-in-chief of Parliament's forces in July, he quickly found himself overwhelmed by the political intrigue of his post. Aided by Cromwell and Henry Ireton, Fairfax attempted to guide the army through the situation. Forced to occupy London in June, he was named Constable of the Tower of London two months later. In March 1648, Fairfax's father died and he became 3rd Lord Fairfax of Cameron. Fighting resumed in early 1648 with the start of the Second Civil War after Charles allied himself with the Scots. Though suffering from gout, Fairfax led forces east to deal with an uprising in Kent. Attacking the Earl of Norwich at Maidstone, he won a victory in early June. Pressing on, Fairfax next laid siege to Colchester which fell after a two-month siege.
After the Royalists had been defeated, Fairfax again became entangled in political affairs. Despite this, he claimed to have been unaware of Colonel Thomas Pride's purge of those unfriendly of to the army from Parliament in December. The following month, Parliament moved forward with trying Charles for treason. Though appointed to the High Court, Fairfax was hesitant in regard to taking part in the trial. When he determined that Charles' guilt was preordained, he stopped attending and later attempted to delay the king's execution. Reappointed commander-in-chief, Fairfax put down several mutinies in late spring 1649. With the start of the Third Civil War a year later, he resigned his post rather than mount a preemptive strike into Scotland as he felt it improper to invade a country with which England was allied.
Sir Thomas Fairfax - Final Years:
Command of the New Model Army passed to Cromwell who led it to victories at Dunbar, Inverkeithing, and Worcester. Retiring from military affairs, Fairfax spent time at his Yorkshire estate of Nunappleton Hall as well as served in Parliament. With the end of the Protectorate in 1659, he aided General George Monck in creating the conditions which allowed for the restoration of Charles II. Elected to the Convention Parliament in April 1660, Fairfax served on a Parliamentary commission to speed the king's return. Following coronation of Charles II in April 1661, he retired to Nunappleton Hall and took no further role in public life. Fairfax died on his estate on November 12, 1671.

Stop dust in its tracks with these DIY tips to protect your home from dust and damage during remodeling projects.
The home remodeling process often means construction dust and debris finding its way into every little nook and cranny of your home. But you can reduce the dust and mess by following these easy tips for preparing and protecting your home during your next remodeling project.
Dust goes everywhere air flows, so the key to
stopping dust is stopping airflow. A loose curtain
of plastic hung with a few
strips of tape won't do the job.
Instead, make your dust barrier
as airtight as possible.
Completely seal the top and
sides with tape. Taping to
walls is usually easier than
taping to woodwork. If you
can't seal the bottom edge
with tape, lay a board across
it. Light plastic (1 mil or so) is
fine for most jobs.
If you need to pass through the dust
barrier, use heavier 4- or 6-
mil plastic and add an adhesive-backed
zipper. These are available at home centers and lumberyards.
Construction dust sucked into return air ducts can plug
your furnace filter. Even worse, small particles can pass
through the filter and coat every room in the house with a
blanket of fine dust when the blower turns on. Air supply ducts
can be a problem too—dust that settles inside will come blasting
out when your heating/cooling system starts up. You can
close the damper on a supply register, but it won't seal out dust
as effectively as plastic and tape.
Use a medium-adhesion tape for most jobs. These
tapes have names like "Safe Release" or "Clean
Release." There are also low-adhesion tapes for delicate
surfaces like wallpaper, and high-adhesion tapes for
hard-to-mask surfaces like brick. A painting store often
has the best tape selection.
Remove the tape as soon as possible. The adhesive
bond strengthens over time. Depending on the type of
adhesive, masking tapes are meant to stay in place
from one to 14 days. Check and heed the label.
A fan blowing out the window
helps to keep dust levels down,
and it creates a slight vacuum in the
work area. That way, any gaps in your
dust barrier will let air flow into the
work zone, but dust-laden air can't
sneak into surrounding rooms. This
works so well, in fact, that you may
not even need a dust barrier for light dust
projects. Just be sure to close
large gaps around the fan with
cardboard or plastic so wind gusts
don't blow the dust right back inside.
The exhaust stream from a shop
vacuum can raise more dust than the
vacuum sucks up. And small particles (like
drywall dust) can sail right through the
vacuum filter to form a fine dust cloud. You
can solve both problems with some extra
vacuum hose: Connect a hose to the
exhaust port and run it outside, or set the
vacuum outside and run the hose inside.
If you want a filter that traps even the tiniest
dust particles, try a high-efficiency version
such as the CleanStream filter. These filters
are pricey ($25 to $35), but they're easy to
clean and last for years.
Ten feet of 2-1/2 in. vacuum hose costs
about $20 at home centers. CleanStream
filters are available at
home centers or visit cleanstream.com
A hammer knocked off a ladder can dent hard wood flooring, chip
ceramic tile or even puncture vinyl, and heavy foot
traffic will grind grit into the floor. For protection
against falling tools (and just about everything else),
cut sheets of 1/8-in. hardboard to fit the room and
duct-tape them together at the seams. Also tape
around the perimeter with masking tape so grit can't
get underneath the hardboard and
scratch the floor.
For quicker protection
of hard flooring,
use strips of rosin
paper taped at the seams
and around the perimeter.
While rosin paper can't
match the impact and puncture
protection of hardboard, two or
three layers of it provide good
defense against scratches and spills.
A 4 x 8-ft. sheet of 1/8-in. thick
hardboard costs about $7 at home centers.
A roll of rosin paper costs about $8 and
covers about 400 sq. ft.
Protecting stairs is tricky
because you don't want to
use anything that will cause a slip
or trip. Rosin paper is a good
choice for wood stairs because
you can crease it over the edge of
the tread and tape it securely
around the entire perimeter. You
can also tape separate sheets to
the risers. For carpeted stairs, use
a long, narrow dropcloth (called
a runner). Secure the runner by
driving small nails right through
the carpet and into the treads.
With or without a helper, cardboard is a good
defense against accidents. You can wrap
door jambs with it, cover up wall corners,
or even shield large sections of wall along
main pathways. To make sure the
cardboard stays in place, crease it
thoroughly to fit corners and don't be
stingy with the masking tape. Doors can
take a beating during remodeling too. The
best protection is to remove them from the
work zone. If removing a door isn't practical, clad it with cardboard.
Whether you're moving
a ladder or stacking
2x4s, it's all too easy to bang up
baseboards. But protecting

Teaching Children to Dial 911
NEW from The Board Room Inc!
911teletrainer.com has teamed up with Professional Pride to provide Emergency Personnel a complete 911 training system for public education. Please click here for additional information.
About the TeleTrainer!
The TeleTrainer is a teaching aid primarily designed for pre-school children. The TeleTrainer allows the child to learn to operate a phone using actual telephone sets. The TeleTrainer, unlike a toy, uses the same signals heard during real phone calls.
To use the TeleTrainer, simply connect two push-button telephones to the jacks labeled Student and Instructor. The unit may be programmed to train the student to dial any number desired. When it is first turned on, the default number is 911. The child will hear a dial tone when the handset is removed from the cradle. If the correct number is dialed, the TeleTrainer will "ring". The instructor can then talk to the student from the instructor telephone. If the student dials incorrectly, he/she will hear a "busy signal".
Changing the programmed telephone number is as simple as lifting the instructor handset, dialing the new number followed by a "#" sign and hanging up.
The TeleTrainer is also a valuable tool for teaching older students proper telephone etiquette. An optional jack allows external amplified speakers to be connected to the unit. This enables students to role play and benefit from each others' conversations.

VIDEO: Darth Vader, Superman witness man smash police car window in Hollywood
On Tuesday afternoon a man was arrested after smashing the windows of an LAPD police car and stealing a laptop computer in the middle of Hollywood. The entire incident was captured by a news photographer that was in the area at the time.
KTLA news photographer Victor Vargas was in the area shooting a news segment and witnessed the entire incident and began filming and calling the police. Two actors dressed as Darth Vader and Superman watched, but didn't intervene.
The video shows a man breaking into the car windows of the police cruiser while shouting, "I love Jesus Christ!" He takes a laptop from the front seat and stares Vargas in the eyes before trying to use the computer.
The police quickly arrived and placed the man in custody.

When I first saw the demos of Windows Phone 7, I was psyched. My iPhone is getting long in the tooth, and I was ready for a change. The Windows Phone 7 UI looked good. I liked the idea of an Outlook client on my smartphone, not to mention the rest of Mobile Office.
Yes, I knew about the lack of multitasking, cut and paste, and Flash support. Those issues just didn't seem to be showstoppers. I mean, why not give it a shot? Microsoft was putting a lot of its chips on Windows Phone 7, and it was time to give Microsoft a fair shake.
[ See Galen Gruman's Mobile deathmatch: Windows Phone 7 vs. Apple iPhone 4. | Keep up on the latest in mobile developments with InfoWorld's Mobilize blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
When I arrived at the AT&T store on Nov. 8, the on-sale date for Windows Phone 7, it was 10:30 a.m. -- half an hour after the store opened. I was the first Windows Phone 7 customer. Well, I thought, no one said buying anything Microsoft was considered cool, but one of the sales guys in the store, who had been trained on the new operating system, was genuinely enthusiastic. He felt the UI was as good as the iPhone's and steered me to the Samsung Focus model.
I played with the device, and it was blazingly fast -- the graphical UI, which was even better than I'd hoped, zipped and spun its way into my heart. Score! Apple and Android had all the buzz, but Windows Phone 7 would be the sleeper hit of the year.
It took me all of four hours to decide to bring it back.
InfoWorld's Galen Gruman flagged the main issue yesterday: Windows Phone 7 doesn't support device encryption, which means I can't use it with InfoWorld's Exchange server. True, not every Exchange server is configured to deny a connection to unencrypted devices, but in this day and age, you'd be hard-pressed to find an enterprise-class Exchange server that allowed it.
So ... no work email.
Then I took the little bugger home. For a variety of reasons I won't go into here, I have a static IP network. And guess what? Windows Phone 7 supports DHCP only. You can't configure it for static IP -- something I was able to do years ago with a first-generation iPod Touch. Unless I went to the trouble of configuring my wireless router to mix DHCP and static IP, I couldn't connect to Wi-Fi at home.

Hey miscreant ice climbers - What's your preferred set up for the nomics? Do you like the hammer? mini-hammer? adze? cold thistle hammer? or nothing? Do you have hammers on both tools? Or one tool with and one without?
For the vast, vast majority of ice climbers, go with nothing. You almost certainly will not need to hammer in pitons or chop steps, both of which the nomic would do poorly anyway given its curve.
I climbed with mine for close to 10 years with nothing and don't think I wished I had either the hammer or adze once. IT certainly will depend on the climbing you intend to do, but I would say for a majority of the climbing most of us do, you really wouldn't need either.
Leave the hammer and adze at home for ice climbing. Also, try them without the pick weight. You might like it better.
Tried the standard Petzl hammer and found it messed up the balance and swing too much for my liking. I've machined off most (about half) of the head weights and like the feel of that much better. Trying out the Petzl mini-hammer this season for the occasional pin bashing, like the light weight a trim dimensions of the mini-hammer; doesn't seem to change the balance or swing much. Haven't had an adze on an ice tool in almost 15 years; haven't missed it in the least.
Thanks for the solid advice!
I drive pins on a fairly regular basis with ice tools, but I wouldn't want a hammer on a, Nomic. The handle is too curved to be comfortable swinging reversed. I think you'd be better off buying a cheap hammered tool with a straight-ish shaft if you ever needed piton-driving capability. Climb alpine choss with that in one hand, and the Nomic in the other.
I agree on a couple of points. Most don't need a hammer on a Nomic. Adze even less so. Both are better used and likely designed for the current Quark. If you do need to hammer a lot of pins a piton hammer is a much better tool than any hammer on a Nomic's curved shaft. Even the pick weights change the balance on the Nomic. Depending on the quality (hardness) of the ice you generally climb on pick weights may or may not be an advantage. Seldom seen on alpine Neve climbs, and almost always on Canadian winter water ice. As Joe noticed as have many others the original Petzl hammer really changes the balance of the Nomic..and not for the better. Too much weight behind the tool head is the reason. The LWT version of the Petzl hammer is much better but simply the original hammer chopped off behind the lightening hole. That helps on the balance but doesn't protect the head of the Nomic when it is used as a hammer. Not a lot went into the design effort there. And a quick way to trash your tools head in use. The Cold Thistle hammer is designed to be light weight and not change the balance any more than required while still protecting the Nomic's head when used as a hammer or as a a cammed tool in cracks. But it is not a replacement for a piton hammer if you want to bang in a lot of pins. I designed and make the CT hammer. On pure ice I never use a hammer. On mixed climbs or in the alpine I take one or more likely a pair of hammers on my Nomics if I think a hammer might be required. But I'll remove the pick weights if I add the hammers.
I climb with vipers, but don't any of you ever use your hammer to chip away ice to get a screw driven down all the way, or to quickly flatten out an area? I wouldn't say I depend on a hammer, but it's sure nice to have.
Thanks Dane - I'm glad you replied because I imagine you have thought about this as much as anyone. And yes, your hammers look superior. Interesting how people play around with the weights. If anything, I've seen an evolution toward appreciation for lighter tools (e.g. the Cassin X - all mountain), even for cold hard ice like we see here in the Northeast. I'm finding I like a lighter tool too.
It's less about total weight as much as weight distribution, or balance. It just so happens that the lighter tools nowadays also tend to have excellent balance.
The CT hammers would be my first choice, unfortunately I missed the latest run from Dane and went with the Petzl mini version for the time being.

North American Edition2014-08-29 11:04 UTC
The euro reverted to near net unchanged levels against the dollar after a brief rally in the wake of the pan-Eurozone inflation data, which met expectations at 0.3% y/y, dipping from 0.4% y/y in July but not exactly the "significant drop" towards deflation territory that the ECB reportedly would have needed to see if it were to take further policy action at next week's meeting. EUR-USD reached a high of 1.3205 in the immediate wake of inflation data ... Read More ►

The dollar was largely steady through the morning session, showing very little reaction to slightly softer income and PCE data, and better Chicago ISM and Michigan sentiment indicators.

London dollar buying was noted into the weekend and month-end, perhaps exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, helped by the U.K. raising its terror warning to "severe".

London Wasps recorded a hard-fought 16-9 victory over the Northampton Saints on Sunday. It was Wasps's third win on the trot and the fourth in five games.
With the game delayed by 15 minutes due to a railway problem to High Wycombe, the team had to fight hard and dig deep for the win.
First blood went to Saints with a penalty from flyhalf Paul Grayson in the 2nd minute. Alex King evened the scores minutes later and with the rain pelting down, the first quarter began to get scrappy. Knock-on's and wayward passes were seen from both sides and when Wasps were penalised by referee Roy Maybank for handling the ball on the ground, Grayson was on hand to slot his second penalty.
The score of 3-6 stayed the same for the remainder of the first half until the 37th minute when the now reliable try-scoring method of converting the lineout into a rolling maul worked its charm again for Wasps. Trevor Leota peeled off the maul to score the games only try. King converted and Wasps went into half-time 10-6 ahead. <1>
King got the second half into motion with a penalty in the 42nd minute to extend the lead to 13-6 and Wasps started to look the better side for the win. Things got better for The Men in Black when Saints were reduced to 14 men when Maybank issued a yellow card to Matt Stewart. But that joy was short lived as Maybank evened things out by sending lock Simon Shaw to the sin-bin for tripping Matt Dawson.
Minutes later Grayson closed the gap to 13-9 and the 9400 crowd were waiting for something special to happen. Unfortunately that never happened as the defence from both sides was excellent and it was only a last minute drop-goal from King that brought a sigh of relief to Wasps fans. King, who had an early drop goal attempt charged down, calmly slotted the ball between the uprights and sealed the 16-9 win.
Even though the game was scrappy it was very physical. Warren Gatland said, " We have been very physical in our last five games and Stade Francais said that we were the most physical team that they have come across and I'd like to think that Northampton went away with a few bumps and bruises today. <2>
With Wasps giving out the bumps and bruises captain Lawrence Dallaglio had to deal with his own as he fell heavily on his shoulder, but early indications suggest that it's not too serious from a Wasps and England perspective. Peter Scrivener did however have to replace Dallaglio in the final ten minutes
Dallaglio speaking about the shoulder said, " I will see how it feels this week and if I'm fully fit I will play against London Irish. I fell heavily on it and that caused some slight movement to the shoulder blade but I'm not too worried about it.
Asked how he felt about the game he said, I was delighted with the result today; the result was paramount rather than the performance. We have been a bit disjointed this week as we never had a game last weekend and today we were a bit rusty. The character of the team pulled us through today. The last five weeks have been very tough. We've had Gloucester, Leicester, Stade Francais home and away and now Northampton and to me that is playing against four of the top teams in Europe. To come away with four wins and a narrow defeat at Kingsholm, suggest that we are making strides in the right direction.
This win keeps London Wasps in the hunt for a playoff place and with an Irish visit next weekend, Gatland and the team will want to keep the Wasps eyes, and not the Irish, smiling.

vacation rental description
This nearly new custom lakefront home is set in the Blue Ridge Mountains just 10 minutes from I-40 and 40 minutes east of downtown Asheville, NC. This 5,000 sf home will surely become one of your favorite places on Earth.
This upscale 4 bedroom, 4 1/2 bath home with a 2-car garage sleeps 10 people very comfortably. It is set in a secluded and somewhat rural gated community but is within a 10 minute drive of grocery stores, restaurants, the beautiful new YMCA and the McDowell Mission Hospital.
The dock has a swim platform and a slip for a 30 foot boat.
A Day at the Lake
Awaken to a cup of fresh ground coffee on the covered mahogany deck and enjoy a picture perfect sunrise view over the glassy-smooth waters of Lake James and the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains beyond.
After breakfast you might dive from the private dock located in a protected cove and into the cool, pure, refreshing water of the 200 ft deep Lake James, which is fed by two rivers and boasts 140 miles of 90 percent undeveloped coastline. With a little luck you might see an otter! When not swimming, fishing, boating, riding your PWC, relaxing in the sun or shade, you will enjoy pool, foosball, ping-pong, or darts in the lower level playroom with 8ft tall sliding glass walls that open onto a large cobblstone patio with plenty of seating for all. The playroom and the patio, like all other rooms have the same breathtaking views of the lake and the mounains.
When you've had enough sun, put your feet up on one of the ottomans or enjoy one of the rocking chairs you will find in my favorite room, the covered mahogany deck which will easily seat all 12 people. It is very private and of course has the same incredible views. The Big Green Egg cooker will make the best food you have ever eaten.
Once the sun goes down, be sure to sit on the uncovered cobblestone deck, watch an incrdible sunset, locate the Big Dipper and watch for falling stars. You'll listen to a symphony of bullfrogs and whip-poor-wills.
Before bed, unwind in the whirpool tub. You'll want to get to bed early so you can do it all over again tomorrow!

I love lavender .so when my daughter gave me a gift of cologne and lotion I fell in love. That was 2 years ago. I never allow myself to run out! The lotion makes my skin silky soft and the fragrance lasts along time. I can't say enough about these products. I refer friends constantly. They always say- you smell nice what are you wearing?

Lavender Cologne
Although the cologne does smell very nice, I found that it does fade after a couple of hours.
Lovely aromatic scent
I had tried the lavender soap first and loved it so much, I had to try the cologne. It's wonderful!!!!!
This fragrance is very good as I prefer pure lavender as opposed to lavender mixed with vanilla or something of that nature. It is very light and lasts all day. Combined with the lavender lotion I keep my aromatherapy going all day!
TONS of compliments...
...when I wear this fragrance. I've got it in a roller size, too, for my purse. Not every fragrance is for everyone, I understand, but I can't believe someone could be horrified by this scent. I got stopped just last week in a gas station in line by a guy who loved it. And the scent pleases me, too! So job well done, in my opinion. My hubby loves the smell and it blends into the skin after a while, making it last a long time. The description "radiates warmth" is spot-on. It's a very warm scent, not really for summer. The scent changes over time, too. I totally smell lavender in it. Whoever claims not to, should go and smell some actual lavender again, maybe they forgot what it's supposed to smell like!

Dozens of students from the University of Central Florida gathered on campus Thursday evening to honor the memory of Trayvon Martin. The Dream Defenders organized the event held at the UCF Reflection Pond. They collaborated with members of the Mu Iota chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. "As soon as the gavel was dropped and the verdict was made it just ignited a fire amongst my chapter," said Tashauna Williams, President of the Miu Iota chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. The students sang, prayed, and marched in the rain. Attorney Natalie Jackson also attended the event. She encouraged the young people to get involved. She told them to learn about the law, sign the NAACP's petition, and continue the conversation. "The purpose of this event was not to automatically have something changed," said Williams. "We knew that it takes time. Laws need to be passed. Petitions need to be signed."
