What a truly wonderful experience! All, and I mean each and every one of the perhaps dozen or so people from the Trading Post that we had interactions with were friendly, professional and very accommodating and helpful.
My daughter and I booked a trip on the lower Yough for July 3rd, 2013. The trip was superb and exciting with fun for all. We didn't see a single person without a smile including the 11 year old girl in our boat who at first was scared and very reticent to raft at all but who, in large part thanks to our great guide Teryl, ended up constantly smiling and by the end of the trip "riding the bull" on the nose of the raft thru some minor rapids. We had a nice picnic lunch half way through and plenty of thrills and in some (unguided rafts) spills along the way but all quite safely due the an outstanding staff. I recommend those who do not know the river take the guided trip. All of the guides are very good and will put you through the best routes in the rapids for optimum fun and safety and after you've made it through you'll have time to watch some of those in the unguided rafts fall out! Very entertaining.
We had such a great time that we decided to try the wild Upper Yough on Friday, July 5th. Things were different in that the holiday crowds were stretching all the businesses capacities to the max but again though things were more hectic everyone remained friendly and very accommodating. Because he had done such a wonderful job on our previous trip we requested Teryl for our guide and The Trading Post was quick to accommodate our request despite the inconvenient disruption to their schedule. We did this not only because were we impressed with his knowledge and capability on the river but because he is a very personable, humorous and even tempered young man, quick to encourage you into doing just what he needs in a way that doesn't make you feel inferior or belabored.
Anyway to make a long review short, WE HAD A BLAST! Beware, the upper Yough is not a ride for the timid or those fearful of water and it WILL give you a workout but if you like your thrills and can handle the possibility of occasional spills I'd encourage you to go for it! It is in a word, Awesome! Actually awesome is a word I'd also apply to both the Trading Company and Teryl our guide as well. We'll be back to Ohiopyle. We'll be back to the upper Yough. And when we are we'll be back with the same fine company and the same great guide. Thanks OTP and Thanks Teryl!
P.S. Don't forget to show your appreciation for the hard work of your guide with a tip. They work hard to keep you happy and safe.

Surfing the Internet is part of everyday life. We visit websites, shop, bank, email, stream, game, and chat online. However, our online activities can easily be tracked and spied on by organizations. It's even moredangerous when criminals spy on confidential data like credit card information such as when surfing on public WiFi hotspots. And that's not all: Your IP address always reveals your exact location.
Avira Phantom VPN Pro puts an end to this unwanted transparency: Every piece of data you transmit over unsecured networks is encrypted, your IP address is masked, and geo-location restrictions are removed.
Avira Phantom VPN Pro masks your IP address. Nobody can pinpoint your location, track your Internet activities, or see where and when you're surfing. There are no logs that reveal to unauthorized people which websites you're visiting. Avira Phantom VPN Pro also prevents the leaking of DNS queries, which can give away your PC's IP address and cause huge privacy issues. It's also virtually impossible for ad networks to track your online activities – your identity is kept secret at all times, and your anonymity is guaranteed.
Want to view your favorite shows wherever you are? Avira Phantom VPN Pro lets you do precisely this thanks to its over 20 server locations around the world. By masking your IP address, you can bypass geo-restrictions and access the regionally blocked sites you want. This means you get to enjoy videos, news, sports, and series which would otherwise be restricted.
Whether you're surfing from an Internet café, Skyping at the hotel, or sending emails from the airport – as public WiFi networks are unsecured, your data is at risk. Avira Phantom VPN Pro steps in automatically, encrypting your connection when your computer, tablet, or smartphone is accessing the Internet using these networks. Data remains in a secure transmission tunnel and is encrypted using state-of-the-art 256-bit technology. And if your VPN connection drops, the integrated fail-safe disconnects the Internet connection automatically.
Avira won't track you. Neither your real IP address, your virtual location, nor information about what you're up to online – such as the sites you visit, what you download, or what you stream – is tracked.
Avira Phantom VPN Pro has a slick, cutting-edge interface with all functions displayed intuitively and clearly. What's more, the app runs on all your devices and operating systems.

Working on a Commercial Archaeology Site Abroad

Peter Dent, of Allentown, inherited his dream after making a promise to his uncle, Charles C. Dent, before Charles died. Charles had been working toward the creation of a massive 24-foot bronzed sculpture of a horse that was originally conceived by Leonardo da Vinci more 500 years ago.
A dream if Renaissance artist Leonardo Da Vinci was brought to life by Peter Dent, who had one of the artist 'lost' sculptures completed at his studio near Fogelsville. It's twin, above, greets visitors as the enter the baum School of Art in Allentown. The Baum School has long been the beneficiary of the Dexter F. Baker Foundation.
"Two months before uncle Charlie died ... I told him I would make him proud and get the horse done." The horse was completed under the supervision of sculptor Nina Akamu and now stands more than 24-feet high on a pedestal in Milan, Italy. Several twins were made as well: one is now in Grand Rapids, Mich.; one in the main square of Vinci, Italy, birthplace of da Vinci; and the fourth in the Charles C. Dent Memorial Garden, situated amidst the Allentown Art Museum, Baum School of Art and Symphony Hall.
"My favorite is in Allentown," says Dent. "Uncle Charlie's ashes are incorporated into this horse."
With the Horse done, Peter decided to use the foundation's momentum to "do something for children and education by tying the genius of da Vinci into it all." So, in 2003 the Horse Foundation merged with the Discovery Center and is currently building The da Vinci Discovery Center of Science and Technology at Cedar Crest College. It is scheduled to open this year.
The Baker family, of Allentown, has been dedicated to the arts in the Valley since 1967. That dedication began when Dexter F. Baker's job led him to England where his family thrived among the art and art history programs available. For ten years Dexter, his wife Dorothy H. and four daughters were immersed in the arts, including ballet, theater (daughter Ellen, now Ellen Baker Ghelardi, of Center Valley, performed Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream when she was nine) and music.
When they returned to the area they found the arts programs here did not compare to those in England. "Instead of softball and little league we had been doing the arts thing," says Ellen.
The Bakers established a foundation for their philanthropic mission to the arts in 1986. Today, Ellen leads the foundation, which donates $700,000 annually more than half of which goes toward supporting the arts.
Over the last 15 years, the Dorothy H. and Dexter F. Baker Foundation has funded scholarships, professional artist residencies and made major capital gifts to Muhlenberg College and Lehigh University. Beneficiaries of the foundation have also included the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra, Lehigh Valley Arts Council, Lehigh Valley Ballet Guild, Baum School of Art and others.
"We believe that the arts are critically important to any thriving community," says Baker. "Communities that support the arts are more dynamic and creative because they ... make us think."

We took the girls to the pool in our neighborhood a few weeks ago and they both had a blast. I think they are going to be little water bugs this summer!
Don't worry, Jared is sitting right beside Naomi and his hand is underneath the water holding her :)

Oh My Word
A little while ago we had two Jehovah's Witnesses ring our doorbell. A high school or college aged boy and girl. I answered the door and thanked them for their invitation to a huge event they have every year on the UF campus. Charlotte ran up beside me and the girl told her hello and kind of giggled. It wasn't until a few minutes after they left that I realized that all Charlotte had on was her pajama top. No bottoms. Not even a diaper! She had been sitting on the potty right before that and I told her to get a diaper from her closet and bring it back to me. She didn't and I got distracted so she was running around like a redneck child for a few minutes. And now there are two JW's who think I'm nutso.
I swear we're not white trash.

**I will share a funny story with you, but only on one condition: You must not think any less of Jared or me, especially in regards to our intelligence. We both have college degrees (he has lots of 'em, actually!) and are pretty smart folks. But there was a time when neither of us were thinking clearly and a lot of ridiculousness ensued.**
Shortly after we moved into our house, we needed to replace the light bulbs in our dining room. The fixture was on a dimming switch, so I went to Lowe's in search of dimming light bulbs. I searched the whole row of light bulbs in the store and could not find any that specified they were of the "dimming variety". I was peeved. Seriously, how could Lowe's not have them?!
I told Jared when he got home from work, so off we went to a specialty lighting store near our house. A fancy lighting store that sold light fixtures that were crazy expensive. We walked around for a couple minutes, looking for the light bulb section of the store. When we couldn't find it, we went up to the counter to ask for help.
"Do you have any light bulbs? The dimming kind?" I asked. The clerk gave me a puzzled look.
"We don't sell light bulbs... but all light bulbs will dim." We were shocked. Was he pulling our leg? "I'll go to the back and see if we have any light bulbs. How many do you need?"
"Four." And what do you know, he came back with four light bulbs for us. After we left, I'm sure he told all of his co-workers about the two idiots who came into the uppity special lighting store asking for light bulbs. "The dimming kind".
**There you go. The tale of two dimwits who wanted dimming light bulbs. I swear we're not idiots. For real. Please don't think less of us. If you're ever in our home, please turn on and be amazed by our fancy dimming dining room light. We have indoor plumbing that I bet will impress you too.**

Stink Eye Things
Yesterday I noticed some goopy mess coming out of Naomi's left eye and this morning it was an even goopier, crusty mess. After a phone call and visit to the doctor to confirm that it is pink eye, I made a visit to the pharmacy for the meds and a visit to the health food store for some herbal stuff that will hopefully prevent the rest of us from getting the nasty mess. The bright side of it all is that the doctor recommended Jared not go into work for a day just to make sure he doesn't have it and doesn't spread it. This evening I was trying to tell him that I hated that he was home because one of our girls was sick, but that I was glad he was home with us. But he stopped me when the only words I had gotten out were, "I hate that you're home..." and threw a sarcastic hissy fit. Much like the time he did when I was telling him that although painting was a pain, I really liked doing things with him, though it came out, "It's a pain, but I enjoy spending the time with you." Somehow the words and thoughts are lost in translation between my brain and mouth.
Anyway, lots has been happening lately but I just
can't seem to find haven't made the time to post the cute pictures and videos of it all. Maybe with Jared home I'll be able to get some of it posted tomorrow. Nah, that's pretty unlikely since one of the fun facets of pink eye is that it is very contagious so I'll be washing sheets and blankets and wiping down toys and shampooing carpets and such things tomorrow. And did I mention Naomi is just a sweet ball of sunshine when she's not feeling well? Oh, I didn't mention that? That's good, 'cause if I had said anything along those lines it would have been a lie. Anyway, here are a couple pictures of her back when she didn't have a nasty eye infection and was being her cute little self.

A big-rig crash near the Gilman Street exit of Interstate Highway 80 in Berkeley snarled traffic in both directions Tuesday evening, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The big-rig crashed from the eastbound direction into the highway's center divider at about 6:30 p.m., leaving the tractor on the divider and partially in the westbound lanes, the trailer in the eastbound lanes, and concrete sprayed into the road.
Two westbound lanes and three eastbound lanes were closed until about 10:30 p.m.
At least two other vehicles were involved, including a Chevy Tahoe that was towed as the driver was transported to a hospital. The extent of the driver's injuries and whether there were any passengers in the Tahoe is unknown.
Traffic in the eastbound direction was backed up to the Bay Bridge toll plaza, and in the westbound direction drivers were delayed back to El Cerrito.
The trailer is full of mail, but no mail was lost in the crash.

Can this trip be real?
This is the foundation for The End of Comedy, the debut album by Drugdealer, a new project conceived and conducted by Michael Collins (formerly of Run DMT, Salvia Plath), who guides a group of Angelenos through a whimsical world informed by Jean Baudrillard, social media perception, Sergio Leone's spaghetti western vistas and Collins's endless travels.
At the forefront of The End of Comedy is Collins' AOR auteurship. It's a vignette of a record, as lucid and lysergic, as it is organic - featuring homespun explorations of Carole King-esque piano ballads, Bacharach-ian orchestration, the psych-folk of Ultimate Spinach and Hendrickson Road House and even New York City subway jazz.
Throughout The End of Comedy, Collins eschews the spotlight, in favour letting the ensemble shine. There are collaborations with Ariel Pink ('Easy to Forget"), Danny James ("My Life") and Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood), who brings Laurel Canyon balladry to the table on the album's titular track. Not to mention a bona fide who's who of Collins's mates, including members of Regal Degal, Holy Shit!, Sheer Agony, The Mild High Club, Mr. Twin Sister, The Memories, and pals from Mac DeMarco's band, who contribute essential bits and pieces that create the foundations of The End of Comedy.
With that cast, it makes sense that Collins recorded the album over several years, all over North America in places like the Glenn Cabin in Vancouver, the Telegraph House in Oakland, the Drones club in Montreal, Ariel Pink's house in LA, Baltimore's infamous Copycat Building, and Mac DeMarco's house in Rockaway Beach. All the people and places are essential to The End of Comedy, an absurdist collection of songs that plays like a short film in which Collins journeys far and wide, popping in to various abodes, embracing mates old and new, and casting a spell on them.
Conceived as a concept record about the absurdities of modern life, and our relationship with the other 7.125 billion people on Earth, The End of Comedy subtly highlights how humour can heal wounds and open up new doors of perception, best personified when Mering sings "I'm in love with laughter." It's clear that Collins is 100% in love with laughter, yet despite his prankster leanings, there are moments when he winks with words — each wink cuts through the mundanity of everyday life and hints that maybe, just maybe, we aren't living in end times.

County Prosecutor Bill Mason has designated the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Library, Cleveland State University, as a repository for all materials related to the Sam Sheppard trials. The collection includes documents, photographs, recordings and exhibits from the murder trials dating back to 1954.
The Sheppard case has been widely embraced by popular culture, but it also produced a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on fair trial rights. In 1954, Dr. Sam Sheppard was convicted of murdering his wife in their Bay Village home in the summer of that year. He was sentenced to life in prison. In a 1966 appeal, Sheppard v. Maxwell, the Supreme Court determined that Sheppard was denied due process and had an unfair trial, mainly due to the media circus that permeated the original trial and the failure of the presiding judge to sequester the jurors and shield them from media bias. In 1966, Sheppard was acquitted.
In 1996, the Estate of Samuel Sheppard filed a wrongful imprisonment lawsuit. On April 12, 2000, when the 12 week trial was completed, 76 witnesses had testified, more than 600 exhibits were presented, and 19 experts took the stand. The experts testified on subjects including forensic pathology, serology, blood spatter, odontology, head trauma, psychology, forensic photography, radiology, forensic anthropology, DNA, and population genetics.
"It was in preparation for the wrongful imprisonment lawsuit that we amassed all of the evidence from the prior two criminal trials. It was a rare opportunity to forever preserve an important piece of legal history and show how the advancements in forensic evidence play such an important role in our criminal justice system," Prosecutor Mason said. "I am very excited to entrust this collection to Cleveland Marshall College of Law."
"We are grateful to have been chosen to house the collection in its entirety," said C|M|LAW Dean Craig M. Boise. "Because we are a public law school, the donation of Sheppard materials to C|M|LAW commits them to the public trust. We believe the materials should be kept together as a collection and made available free of charge to researchers and the general public."
Once the collection is cataloged and digitized, it will be open to both scholarly researchers and members of the general public. In addition, the library plans to digitize the materials and make them accessible online.
"Cleveland has been the birthplace of several landmark criminal cases that have established important precedents in criminal law and procedure," said Boise. "C|M|LAW has a reputation for having a strong trial law program, and housing the materials from the Sheppard trials at C|M|LAW is a fitting tribute both to our fine city and to a public law school with a history of producing excellent trial attorneys."
The Law Library at C|M|LAW is attached to the law school at 1801 Euclid Avenue. The library serves as a government documents repository, and in conjunction with the Cleveland Memory Legal Landmarks project, facilitates the creation of digital exhibits of famous Cleveland cases, including court documents, articles, photographs, audio and video. The library plans to promote the Sheppard collection through programs and symposia and special exhibits.
"The Law Library is honored to be entrusted with these important documents and to have the opportunity to preserve them for future research. We are excited to begin the cataloging and digitization process so the materials can be made freely available for scholars and the general public," said Kristina Niedringhaus, Director of the Law Library.

Make your own wood baby crib for under $10!
I love to thrift shop. We live on a tight budget and so if I want to add anything to my home it's usually from a garage sale, thrift store or found used online. While the kids and I were shopping for baskets and bins and such we came across this magazine rack. My 6 year old daughter immediately said what I had already thought in my head but didn't want to say aloud (so I didn't spoil the 3 year olds birthday present),
"It's a crib!"
Proud mamma moment. She could see the potential this dusty object had.
So I bought it for $5.60, on sale and stored it at home until I had the right moment to clean and fix it up.
With one can of spray paint, handmade bedding and a birthday later, she now has a sturdy doll crib. I have to remind her that she is too big too sit in it or it will break. And the girls have discovered that Otis, the rabbit, likes to comfortably lay in it too.
To make your own doll bed from a magazine rack takes about 1 hour of your time.
First clean off the magazine rack. Then cut out any middle dividers.
As you can see this one had a divider on the bottom too. This took the longest to remove because the base of this rack is very thin wood (hence the reason Cecily can't sit in it). So I finally figured out that it was stapled (and not glued) and I was able to pry it off with a metal scraper.
Then spray paint the whole thing! And don't do it in windy weather (like it says on the can) or you'll get drips! Ugh. I hate drips. If you want, embellish with a sticker or silhouette (I used my cameo to cut the vinyl to create a silhouette). Cecily is our little butterfly (she has blossomed from the caterpillar she was 2 years ago here). I used nearly an entire can of spray paint. I think this was apple green by Rustoleum.
Then make some bedding. If you'd like me to post a tutorial for this bedding leave a comment and I'll add some more photos and details. It's basically a reversible pad with batting in the middle and embellished with piping (I thought it was safer to try do do piping for the first time on a doll bed instead of real bedding). It was fairly simple to do.
The reverse side of bedding.
$5.60 for magazine rack
$3.50 spray paint, with coupon at Joann's
