Spring 2010
Mint Museum Presentation - Artists Forum
We began research in earnest over the summer of 2008 with the support of the CPCC Futures Institute and Center for Sustainability. The College awarded D.I. von Briesen and Terence Fagan their Fellowships in August 2008 - to last until May 2009.
The fall semester is primarily devoted to building up partnerships, researching, and getting our proverbial ducks in a row. In the spring we plan to begin with our modeling, and perhaps even our prototype AlphaBox with a real container.
By the conclusion of our fellowships, we should have a completed to-scale architectural model, diagrams, specifications, blueprints, vendor lists, and any other resources needed to actually construct the EcoBox. In addition, Terence will have authored and published several documents on LCA of the project.

Carl Nielsen began writing his fifth symphony in 1920 in the aftermath of World War I. He says he was not consciously thinking of the war when he wrote it, but "not one of us is the same as we were before the war".
World War I changed the world forever. It rearranged borders and redistributed wealth. It uprooted old ways of thinking and gave birth to new philosophies. Despite spending the war in neutral Denmark, the magnitude of the war was inescapable. Nielsen's symphony is a symphony about conflict. Conflict between light and dark, good and evil, order and chaos. Besides the universal consciousness of these themes created by the war Nielsen was also going through a time of conflict in his personal life. Stresses in his competitive career called him away from home much of the time, and a number of infidelities had began creating a rift between he and his wife Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen.
It was in this context that Nielsen wrote his turbulent and aggressive symphony; a very modern piece for it's time that saw several audience members walk out at the premier. The idea of conflict is present throughout by use of competing themes. It is most obvious towards the end of the first movement when the snare drum begins to play loudly at a quicker tempo than the rest of the orchestra. Nielsen intended for the drummer to improvise and instructed him to play "as if at all costs he wants to stop the progress of the orchestra". The snare eventually melds with the rest of the orchestra and the climax devolves into peaceful quiet.

Episode 37 0f 38 - "One of Thousands"Wednesday, June 13th, 2007
The shocking and severely disturbing finale to Ausama's videos in Hometown Baghdad.
Ausama asked me to post the following note to the viewers of Hometown Baghdad after his final video was online.
Dear all,
First of all, I want to say that I never thought that we would be able to connect with anyone in the way that we have. I never imagined that we would make any kind of impact. I just wanted to say this before I began.
I carry love and passion for my country of Iraq, for my glorious city of Baghdad, for my house, for my family and for my people. It is what made me able to do this. My love and passion made me continue to tape in some of the hardest, saddest and most dangerous situations. It also gave me the responsibility to show you our lives, the will to keep going no matter what, and definitely the desire to show you our love for peace.
What we really tried to accomplish with this project is to show you our lifestyle; to tell the truth about what happened and what's happening to us normal Iraqi citizens; and to show you that we're not so different than others around the globe. We only have different cultures and customs. I humbly hope that we have succeeded in this.
I can't express enough my thanks to Chat the Planet for giving me/us this magnificent opportunity, Thank you so much, Laurie, Mike, Kate, Barrett and everyone else who contributed to this project.
Of course, I cannot forget and will never forget the outstanding courage of the Iraqi crew members - Mr. Ziad Turkey, Fady, Nezar and Adel (the sound man). They challenged death many times to reach us and shoot with us. May god keep them safe.
This has been an extraordinary experience for me. It gave me new perspectives, the opportunity to meet so many new people, and to reach out and speak to the world.
I'm also thankful to you - the viewers. I'm so thankful to everyone who has watched our videos. I can only hope that you liked what you saw, and that you liked us even if we sometimes had different opinions.
No matter what happens in the future, I can be sure that we all seek the same things - Peace and Happiness.
I'll end with a quote. It's one of my favorites.
"To light a candle is much better than cursing the darkness."
Thank you and Good Bye,
Salam / Peace,
The cradle of Civilizations, Iraq
(spoiler alert - watch the video!) Producing this series involved a lot of breath-holding on the part of us American producers and indubitably a lot more breath-holding on the part of our Iraqi cast and crew. Every shoot day was a risk. Every time Fady reported in that they had safely and successfully captured some as-of-yet-unknown aspect of Iraqi life under war was cause for relief. For one, it was another step closer to our shared goal of showing the human side of the conflict. But way more importantly, we made it one more day without incident. And so when Fady sent me an IM that Ausama's uncle was killed, we were extremely upset. We had come to know and love Ausama through the little we saw of him in his casting interview and what we heard about him through Fady and the rest of our crew. His loss was felt deeply in our office.
It didn't occur to me until about five minutes ago that most rational people in Ausama's situation would have given up on our project. Turned their cameras off. Sent our crews packing. Who wants to work on a project with Americans for a predominantly Western audience when the US army has just killed your uncle? But Ausama did not stop. He did not shut us and the rest of the world out of his life. He allowed himself to be filmed when he was feeling his most vulnerable, and his most angry. He remained committed to continue sharing his life and opening himself up, "even if we sometimes had different opinions," as he says. It is a testament to him and his family that we are able to tell his story.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Healthy kidney donor.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Healthy kidney donor.
PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Laparoscopic left ureteronephrectomy.
SURGEON: John Doe, MD
ANESTHESIA: General endotracheal anesthesia.
COMPLICATIONS: None.
BLOOD LOSS: 100 mL.
SPECIMENS: Left kidney for transplantation.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION: The patient was taken to the operating room and placed supine on the operating table. After adequate IV access and IV sedation, the patient was intubated and anesthetized. Venous catheterization was performed by Anesthesiology and a Foley catheter was placed by nursing staff aseptically. The patient was placed in the right lateral decubitus position and her left arm was placed under suspension armboard. All pressure points were padded and the patient was secured to the OR table with the OR beanbag. The kidney rest had been placed previously at maximal height and the bed flexed as well. The abdomen was prepped with Betadine solution and draped with sterile linen and sterile drapes. A midclavicular left subcostal incision was created and a 12 mm balloon port was placed by the Hasson technique. The abdomen was insufflated to 12 cm with CO2 gas and assessed. Multiple adhesions between the spleen and the omentum and the anterior abdominal wall were noted. These overlaid the kidney. A left lateral 5 mm and a left periumbilical 12 mm port were both placed under direct vision. A hand port was placed in the left lower quadrant. Dissection began taking the left colon down at the white line of Toldt mobilizing medially and cephalad. The adhesions between the spleen, the omentum and anterior abdominal wall were taken down with Harmonic scalpel. The splenorenal ligament was divided with Harmonic scalpel. The adrenal gland was noted on the upper pole of the kidney and was followed down to the renal vein and the adrenal vein. The renal and adrenal veins were both dissected down the anterior surface. The adrenal vein was circumferentially dissected, ligated with clips x 4, and divided between ligatures. The adrenal gland was now taken off of the upper pole of the kidney with Harmonic scalpel. There was an upper pole vessel from the adrenal gland to the upper pole of the kidney, which did not communicate with the renal artery and was divided with the Harmonic scalpel creating a small dime-size area of ischemia. The rest of the upper of the kidney was mobilized and the kidney was retracted inferiorly. The renal vein was now dissected out lower surface. The gonadal vein was circumferentially dissected and was divided after ligated with clips x4. A very large lumbar vein was noted coming off of the renal vein on the posterior surface of the lobe of the gonadal vein. This vein was quite broad-based and immediately branched into 5 different vessels that were all large and engorged. The vein was circumferentially dissected down to the surface of renal vein and then was divided with endoreticulating vascular stapler.
The renal vein was now circumferentially mobilized down. With the renal vein elevated anteriorly, the takeoff of the renal artery was identified. The demarcation was developed with a Maryland dissector. All neurovascular tissues cephalad of the renal artery were then divided with the Harmonic scalpel inferiorly. The retroperitoneum was entered below the inferior pole of the kidney and above the gonadal vein. The tissues were then dissected sharply and bluntly, very carefully elevating the ureteral complex all the way down to the iliac vessels. The kidney was now brought out off of the retroperitoneum with Harmonic scalpel dividing the fibrous tissues on the back of the Gerota's fascia. The posterior surface of the renal artery and renal vein were now cleared of neurolymphatic tissues. The kidney was placed back into the retroperitoneum, into its normal position. The pneumoperitoneum was dissipated. The ureter was grasped, brought up through the hand port, was dissected down towards the bladder, was clamped below the iliac vessels, and divided leaving the ureter free to urinate within the peritoneum. The distal ureter was ligated with a 0 silk ligature. The kidney was now diuresed for 45 minutes with increased fluid management. The patient received 5 liters of fluid prior to excision of the kidney. With Dr. Doe now ready in the donor room, the abdomen was reinsufflated, the kidney was elevated, and the vessels were placed on mild tension and endoreticulating vascular stapler was placed across the artery at its junction with the aorta and deployed dividing the artery. The renal vein was divided with a serial load of the endoreticulating vascular stapler. Kidney was brought through the hand port and given to Dr. Doe under iced UW for preparation and the recipient on the back table.
The abdomen was reinsufflated. The abdomen was aspirated of as much urine as possible. The dissection bed and the peritoneum were irrigated with copious amounts of sterile saline and aspirated as dry as possible. The spleen and adrenal gland were identified at their dissection locations and had no injuries and were not bleeding. This staple line of the renal artery takeoff on the aorta was identified and it was not bleeding. The staple line of renal vein was also identified at the corner. The rest of it was below the aorta and was unable to be seen towards the vena cava. There was no blood welling up through this area and staple lines were intact. The distal dissection planes of the ureter were identified. There was some small clotted blood on the peritoneal surface in the retroperitoneum, this was cleared and aspirated from the peritoneum. There was no other bleeding noted. The distal tie on the distal ureter was intact and verified down towards the bladder. Iliac vessels were unharmed. The abdomen was now desufflated and aspirated off all CO2 gas and liquid as much as possible. The 12 mm balloon ports were closed with figure-of-eight of 0 Vicryl suture incorporating the peritoneum and the fascia within the suture. Hand was placed to the hand port and the surface was palpated and found to have no bowel or omentum caught up with the sutures. The hand port was now closed. The peritoneum and posterior fascia were closed with a single running simple 0 PDS suture. An On-Q pain pump was now brought in 2 inches from the incision laterally and tunneled down underneath the oblique anterior fascia. The catheter was placed in the muscle layer between the anterior and posterior sheaths. The anterior sheath was now closed with another running 0 PDS suture in a simple running fashion. The subcutaneous tissues were irrigated with sterile saline and antibiotic solution. The pain pump catheter was pulled back gently to assure that it was not caught up within the sutures. It was then loaded with 15 mL, 1.25% Marcaine without epinephrine. The Scarpa's layer and all incisions were brought together with 3-0 silk suture in an interrupted fashion. Skin incisions were brought together and reapproximated with 4-0 subcuticular Vicryl suture. All incisions were then covered with Dermabond tissue glue. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was taken to the recovery room in awake and stable condition.

Twice today I wanted, tried and failed to create a loop to list all the children pages of the current page in wordpress. Adn yes I know I could use "wp_page_menu" or "wp_list_pages" but the problem is I wanted to include custom fields in the output.
Look at my works page. I wanted each website to be a child page of work and display the content, or a custom field, as an excerpt. And to my knowledge I can't do that with any of the page list functions. Anyone know how to do this? Making the work pages as posts isn't really an option.
For my works page I just listed them statically. For the other attempt I had to create a MySQL query against the posts table and manually create the list. Not ideal.
So if anyone sees this and might know a solution, please drop me a line!

In more than a few states, eighty-seven proportionality of lenders hyperbolic their technical unadulterated estate portfolios. The magnitude of capital that mid-range and minor loaning institutions have sworn to mercantile material material possession disposal has more than than double since 2000.

Commercial existing estate, unlike residential properties, have a markedly low charge of nonpayment. In the basic twenty-five percent of 2007, that charge was inferior than it has been since the graduated table to standard it was created in 1999.

Get More From Your Website Development Efforts With These Tips
Website creation is a competitive field, and you always need to be at your best. You will learn below that this is tantamount to success. You will also find that the advice about website development included here is simple to follow.
Minimize page sizes and loading times. The users with poor Internet speeds will have a tough time if you do not. You don't need visitors having pages get stuck every time they load because they may just leave your site and not return.
If you're creating a website, you must look at it in more than one browser. You have to make sure that you're seeing your site through the eyes of all customers. You need to know how your site looks to all visitors that are arriving at your page. It's also a good idea to send your website to someone who's using another operating system in order to see if their browser and yours are compatible.
Make user cancellations easy. This might include completing forms, browsing your site, or registering for newsletters. If you do not give visitors the option to get out of an action they do not want to continue with, you are pressuring them into something. This makes them less likely to come back or buy from you in the future.
Use shortcuts when designing your website. When it comes to website creation, there are many shortcuts; as you become more familiar with the field, you are sure to find fast ways of doing just about everything. It doesn't take that long to learn about the HTML code that you can insert into your website's design to help you edit any page without having to upload the page again.
Make sure your website is easily scanned. Usability tests indicate that the majority of online users fail to read content in its entirety, scanning instead for bits of information that are of interest to them. That's why it is smart to break your information into smaller, more easily comprehended chunks. Be sure important information is given top billing. This can help you make sure your visitors have a better experience since they can easily find what they're looking for.
If the site you are designing is large, make sure to include a search option. The best place to put your search text box is in the top right hand corner as that is where the bulk of websites put theirs. You can get search functions to improve your website at FreeFind and at Google.
Always keep your load times under 10 seconds. A well-designed, efficient site should pop up in visitors' browsers in a matter of moments. Make sure online visitors obtain the information they need rapidly.
You can use some free software to help set up your site. Investing in powerful software packages like Photoshop is only worth it if you think they'll pay off in the end. You simply must be willing to find these helpful design resources.
Make compelling and fascinating web content. While how your design looks is important, visitors will not return if there is no content worth reading. Useful, informative content which matches what visitors are looking for will ensure your visitor numbers continue to increase.
Make sure the content on your website is interesting. Good content is really more important than flashy design. Visitors will return again and again when they find valuable, useful information.
Any links you place on your site should have text content. Visitors to your page are more likely to click on a link when they know where the link will take them. If the links don't have text content, they may appear as a keyboard shortcut.
Alt Tags
Learning how to design good websites becomes even simpler the more you do it. Start simple pages with C+ and HTML to test your fundamentals. Proceed with what you know about it soon, because you may need more practice than you initially think you will need.
Placing ALT tags when using images on the site is important. Those who are visually impaired will benefit greatly from ALT tags. Using ALT tags also help to explain what clicking on the link will do. ALT tags are also used by crawlers and this can boost your ranking.
You don't want to utilize a counter on your site. While you may like to see how many visitors you've had, most of your visitors do not want to see the counter. Get rid of your visitor count and use other methods to see how many visitors your site is getting.
Include text content on your link page. This will let your visitors know what they're going to click on. When links do not have text content, the link could be accessed accidentally by keyboard shortcut.
Build a microsite at first, as this will help you get an overall impression of your current strengths and weaknesses as a web designer. Start out by making a few pages that just have basic information and some easy text, then asses how it works for you.
Using pop-up ads are a sure way to turn customers off. PPC ads are often necessary, but pop-up ads just tick visitors off. It will result in people not wanting to visit your site at all. Keep the ads simple since you don't need any wild pop-ups.
Research is crucial when designing a website. Research the targeted niche to grab that audience. A well designed website will reach the right target audience. Doing so will make your web design efforts pay off handsomely.
Proofread everything so it looks nice. Content should be read easily and quickly. If you have a lot of errors, your site will be viewed as unprofessional and may actually be ridiculed.
Make it easy to search your site from every page on your site, especially the homepage. This increases the site's usability five-fold, and makes it easier to get to anyplace on the site from any other place on the site. This feature is easy to include on your site, and the effort and time spent implementing it will provide ample rewards.
HTML5 is something you need to familiarize yourself with if your website development is going to be successful. Should you not be familiar with html5, you will want to brush up on the topic. This means you need to put the effort into learning more about it.
It is myth that creating a great website has to cost you a fortune. For all the tools you have, there are usually less expensive ones that will benefit you. Sometimes the free and open sources for web design software, will give you very similar results. You can save a lot of money by using freeware or open source software.
Implement a search tool on your site pages that allows people to search the entire site. This will maximize usability by making it easier for visitors to navigate. Site searches are easy to make, and the benefits are worth the effort.
To help you plan ahead, you want to make a visual sitemap. This can give you an idea of where you want to go in the future. You'll be able to visualize how your site is growing as you add each new part. You can also find places that require improvement or maintenance. There's no better way to keep track of your project than a visual sitemap.
It is important that your web designs are not too similar to others which are within your immediate industry circle. You may find this out by look at the competitor's sites. You don't want to be classed as "one of the pack", the more unique you are, the more noticeable you will be. You'll be perceived the same way as any other knockoff: an inferior brand that sells inferior products.
Learn from people who are knowledgeable in web design. This will help you learn about different things and work on websites.
When you design your website, make sure the site and all of its content is visible to everyone. You may even want to have someone from another country check out the site for you. Computer hardware and display settings can vary between countries, so it pays to test your site in as many locations as possible.
Be sure to minimize the size of any advertisements you place on your site. Large ads turn people off. Therefore, be careful about what you add; it helps lend an air of professionalism to your site.
Ensure that your site's search box is close to the top of your webpage and that it contains a minimum of 27 characters. Use the word 'search', rather than 'submit.' It's less likely to confuse your visitors.
Ditch Flash and use something else for multimedia. Despite it's visual appeal and features, it can be a problem when a website visitor's computer can't effectively use the feature. Also, phones, IPads and other handheld devices may not be able to view Flash applications. This could make your site less enjoyable for these users to view, and they might decide not to bother with it.
When it comes to developing an error page, be informative. Sometimes visitors click a link that is broken and receive an error page. By designing an informative error page, your visitor will understand why they were taken to the error page.
Utilizing free stock images on your site will stretch your budget. The Internet has many of these images; typically, they are just as good as those that cost money. Using stock graphics means that you can save money and spend what you have on other important aspects of your site.
Background colors on websites should be neutral. Visitors to your website can be overwhelmed by strong textures or busy patterned backgrounds and it can give an impression of being an amature. A neutral or white background is best. Studies have proved that using neutral colors can make your site a lot easier to read.
You want your title to be descriptive on your website. Take a couple of minutes and search "untitled document" on the Internet. See how many inexperienced web designers there are! Do not fail to name your site. Search engines will put a greater value on this in their site ranking algorithms.
Always use descriptive titles for your pages. Just for fun, look-up the search term "untitled document" on the web. You'll see just how common the error is. It is essential that you name your site. Search engines use this as part of their search engine optimization algorithms.
Get ideas from other websites to help improve your own site. Use the positive aspects of a site and avoid the negatives if you want your site to be unique.
Website Creation
It's worth a bit of your time to visit domain name auction sites such as Sedo, because a lot of good domain names that have already been registered might still be available to you. These sites can offer a wealth of site names that are up for sale or abandoned.
Get feedback about your website creation. What one web designer and you assume is a great website creation, many others may find cluttered, confusing or a pain to navigate very easily. Talk to people in your target market and ask them what they do and do not like about your site.
Put your personal touch on your site's design. Pictures, testimonials and quotes all add a human aspect to a site. These elements help to give your visitors something they can personally connect with. Also, they'll make the visitor see your brand's expertise so that can help you to get a customer base that's loyal.
Don't use free hosting for a website, as you could lose clients. While you will be tempted by the lack of start-up cost involved with these hosts, your site will be littered with ads that you have little or no control over. These advertisements can give your business a bad reputation and can also cause potential customers to leave your site and vow never to return.
Screen resolutions are important to pay attention to when it comes to web design. Computers have various resolutions, so make sure that computers with a whole range of resolution can see the content on your site's page. If you're not sure how to do this on your own, look for tools online that are able to help you.
Knowing how to design your own website is a good skill to have. This article will guide you through the process of website creation.
If you require the assistance of a professional to accomplish your web design goals, you should avoid employing someone that has a personal relation to you. You should avoid hiring a family member or a friend to help you with your site. If the work they perform is not satisfactory, you will have a difficult time letting someone go if you are close to them.

Age, The Arts & Education: Arts Array Discussion Group
By ANGELA WAMPLER | August 26, 2008Joan Horsch, 76, has participated in the Arts Array Film Discussions for 10 years at the College for Older Adults at Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC) in Abingdon.
"We have some pretty lively discussions," she admits, "so lively that we've been asked to close the
door to our classroom."
She and her husband are retired — "although a homemaker doesn't ever really retire" — and they both go to Arts Array films, but he doesn't participate in the discussion group afterwards. He does take other classes for older adults, such as digital photography.
"The film discussions are really interesting because someone else always sees something you didn't see or has an entirely different impression of what the ending means," she explains.
Participants not only talk about the action, they also discuss the making of the film — why a cinematographer uses certain techniques or what certain shots are called.
After a discussion, Horsch says she sometimes wishes she could see the film again, frequently looking for it on DVD, to see things she "missed."
She goes to all the films, even the ones she thinks she won't like. "Before the Arts Array series, this area never got these kinds of films," she says. "The series has raised the quality of everyone's film viewing. Although many are award-winning, European and Indian films are different from ours, at least our mainstream films. Their sensibilities are sometimes different. Their comedy is different. And philosophically some of them are markedly different. Foreign films don't always play to the masses."
Horsch concludes, "I like going to films, but [the discussion group] is a great learning experience."

— CAROL BELL, 67,joins in discussions at SVHEC about women writers: "Some people mention other books. Everyone does away with news things to read and a new focus on the Appalachian region and the writers."
— ANNE ARMENTROUT, 60, loves words so Improvisation & Creative Movement is right up her alley: "The class provides exercises not only for the body, but also for the mind and imagination."

Sao Paulo – Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton on Wednesday dismissed a row over his avoidance of taxes on a luxury jet, saying he's only thinking about this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix.
"I'm just solely focused on trying to win this race this weekend. I still have two races to go. I don't really have anything to add to the whole scenario that's happening," he told reporters in Brazil's biggest city ahead of Sunday's race.
The British driver, who was crowned world champion for the fourth time last month in Mexico City, reportedly got a £3.3 million VAT refund in 2013 after his airplane was imported into the Isle of Man – a low-tax British Crown Dependency.
The allegation was part of revelations in the so-called Paradise Papers, a trove of documents about the tax avoidance practices of the rich leaked from elite accountancy firm Appleby to the US-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
Hamilton's lawyers have said the tax structure leading to the VAT refund was entirely legal. Noting that his spokesmen had already put out a press release, Hamilton said "I don't really have much more to add."
"I've just come from this great period of time with my family and friends that I have this huge wave of positive energy and nothing can really dent that," he said.
"That doesn't distract me from my core values and also what I'm here to do, which is trying to win this Brazilian Grand Prix for the second time in my life in 10 years."

Have you ever wanted to tell you friends just how awesome cloth diapers are but didn't quite know how to start that conversation? We worked with our graphic designer to create an exclusive design just for you and your family. She took all of our favorite cloth diaper sayings and terms and turned them into a fun cloth diaper subway art t-shirt.
T-shirts are available in both adult and infant/toddler sizes. For adults there is the "I Love Cloth Diapers" on the front and the design on the back. For infant/toddler the design is on the front only.
Adult t-shirts come in black, white, or grey and in sizes from small to extra large. They are a woman's cut shirt but not fitted. It will fit better than a traditional mans shirt without the worry of showing off our insecure areas (it's ok, we all have them). The infant and toddler shirts are in white or black only at this time.
What about the men? Let us know if your man would like a t-shirt and if we get a big enough response we'll add some men sizes too!
Don't want to wear a cloth diaper t-shirt but still want to show off your passion? May we suggest a window decal instead (or in addition to the t-shrits). You can apply these decals to the outside window of your car, truck, van, bus, or airplane (you never know) and only the white wording will appear. It only takes a few minutes to apply and is a subtle way to share cloth diapers with your community.
To add a cloth diaper t-shirt or decal to your next order just visit us at Kelly's Closet and look under Advocacy Gear (or just click the words and we'll magically take you to the product page). Once you get your gear snap a picture of you or your child wearing the shirts or of your new decal on your car and share it with us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. We'd love to see them in action.

Pets and Chi Energy
Pet Care, Reaction of Pets to Chi Energy
People who have cats notice almost immediately their reaction to the orgone generator. Cats love to play with some invisible thing in front of the silver tubing, i.e., they are trying to catch the "little blue flame" that some people, especially children, can see as well. We do not know if cats actually see the same thing that people see. We just observe that they play with something. In general, cats and other animals feel very comfortable when they are close to any orgone generator®.
After close observation you will notice how many pets react to the orgone generator, which energizes pets just as well as it can energize human beings. Chi energy certainly can contribute to your pet's overall well-feeling by energizing it and by balancing its life functions.
Charge the water that your pet drinks with the AO 2000, charge the food it eats and energize the supplements and herbs that you give to your pet.

International Institute of Islamic Medicine
History, Formation, Development and Purpose
Husain Nagamia MD FRCS (Eng. & Edin.)
Chairman IIIM,
Past President IMANA.
The formation of an International Institute of Islamic Medicine was first proposed by Dr. Bashir Zikria, Past President of Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA) in a brief Editorial published in JIMA, 1981 entitled: "An Institute of Islamic Medicine –Dream or Reality?"
He further elaborated its role and function in his article titled "Institute of Islamic Health Sciences" where he suggested that the Institute would encompass a larger role than merely a collection and collation of "History of Islamic Medicine"
Membership until the First International and 23 rd Annual Convention of IMANA, held in Nerha, Spain in 1990.
Soon thereafter the Executive Council of IMANA unanimously approved a mandate for the creation of IIIM, and the IIIM was voted into existence. A preliminary budget was approved for initial expenditure. Dr. Nagamia was appointed to be the Chairman of the IIIM.
In earnest Dr. Nagamia began promoting the idea of IIIM and started canvassing the North American Muslim Medical community for donations. A generous Muslim Physician in North America, (who desires to remain anonymous) wished to donate a property to a 501 © 3 organization, to avoid a heavy tax burden because of its highly appreciated value. Through hire of a Financial and Taxation expert the property was donated to IIIM and simultaneously sold for an approximate sum of
$ 200,000.00. This was the seed money for the "IIIM Endowment fund". This money was properly invested with the principle that "The principle of this IIIM endowment fund was never to be used". Only a part of the income could be used for recurrent IIIM operational or other IIIM expenses. (The IIIM expenses have been for: Meetings, Conventions, Exhibits, promotional brochures, videos, secretarial expenses, utilities, etc.). IIIM is also a beneficiary of yearly donation of $ 10,000.00 from Taj Foundation, courtesy of philanthropic IMANA Past President, Dr. Tajuddin Ahmed. Despite yearly expenses totaling $15,000 to $20,000 a year this Endowment fund today stands close to $ 500,000.00 and is invested in 'Halal Islamic Funds'. An independent auditor, appointed by IMANA, examines the financials every year prior to submission to IRS.
The importance of "History Islamic Medicine" to the Muslim Ummah as well as the future generation of Muslim Physicians was elaborated by Dr. Nagamia in a Guest Editorial published in the JIMA
Since inception in 1990, IIIM has been provided and housed in an office based room provided totally free of charge by Dr. Nagamia in his professional office. (No rent has ever been charged) For the last 35 or more years, this room has served as the HQ for IIIM and has provided the following functions:
IIIM has undertaken National and International conferences either independently or in association with IMANA:
The International ones that were independently held were in the following countries:
Each of these conferences had a great turnout and many papers were presented. Most of these papers have been published in JIMA, ISHIM or other periodicals.
In collaboration with IMANA, IIIM took major sections in presentations at some of IMANA Conventions both Nationally and Internationally with presentation of papers about "History of Islamic Medicine". Most of these have been published in JIMA or ISHIM Journal. Both reputable and Peer reviewed Journals.
Occasional Papers and information booklets have also been published:
Some monographs were published independently by IIIM as individual bulletins. This was for propagation of knowledge of 'Islamic Medicine'
It consists of about 200 posters/pictures and rare collections. The Exhibit has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and has received rave reviews:
Institution of an essay contest on History of Islamic Medicine: One prize was awarded to an essay submitted by a medical student and deemed exceptional. The prize awarded was of $ 1000.00 sponsored by an IIIM/IMANA benefactor. A new Essay competition was been announced recently, by the Executive committee of 2016. Several entries have been received and are being judged and a prize will be awarded at the Annual Convention of 2016!
Long term Plan for IIIM: Three fundamental plans for IIIM are proposed:
The 3 P's
It would be a great achievement for IIIM to have a permanent housing preferably in an Academic Institution, medical college campus, or University.The housing should be enough to house a not only a secretariat, but also a Library and an Exhibit or even a Museum of artifacts, manuscripts and books.
IIIM Secretariat should have 'Permanent Staffing':
Ideally speaking this should consist of:
There should be 'Permanent Funding':
The question may be raised as to how are we to get this kind of funding? This is where the legacy of IMANA can come in. If it is publicized amongst devoted IMANA members and other Non IMANA benevolent philanthropists and an effort is made to make Members aware of the "Sadqa-e-Jariyah" that can be perpetuated through an endowment to IIIM, there would be a large number of IMANA members who would be willing to bequeath a percentage of their inheritance to this "IIIM endowment fund". This will no doubt require a full time and dedicated effort by a team of professional fundraisers, but is certainly not out of the domain of achievement.
Many additional details can be given, but time and space does not permit. I had requested a full day for discussion about IIIM to the Board. Finally the Board did meet on Feb 20 th, 2016 specifically to discuss the long-term plan of IIIM. A detailed discussion took place. Dr Khalid Zahir Chairman of the Board summarized the meeting in his minutes and report. (I hope this will be published). So thinking positively IIIM will not only continue its existence, but enlarge its purpose and function over the coming years. Inshallah!
Respectfully submitted:
Husain Nagamia MD FRCS,
July 12 th 2016

There's Going To Be A NEW Willy Wonka Movie
If you are a fan of either (or maybe even both) of the Willy Wonka movies, we have some BIG news!
It appears Warner Bros. have plans to make a new film about the famously eccentric and well loved character after they acquired the rights from the Road Dahl estate.
While it's still early days, apparently the plan is to film a story focusing on the candy makers early life, as opposed to simply remaking Charlie & The Chocolate Factory again.
The late Gene Wilder of course originally played the role in 1971 before Johnny Depp revived the character in 2005.
Who would you like to see take on the famous role?

Even before Tuesday's firefight in Mosul, there had been signs that the resistance was expanding both in the scope and number of its attacks, and also in its increasingly brazen public-relations efforts. The day after Saddam's sons were killed in Mosul, the pan-Arab cable channel al-Jazeera aired footage of masked Saddam loyalists bearing Kalashnikovs and RPG launchers vowing to avenge Uday and Qusay Hussein. The footage was shot on a dusty street in broad daylight "somewhere in Iraq," the network explained. Not to be outdone, Jazeera's Dubai-based competitor Al-Arabiya on Thursday carried footage of a self-styled 'fedayeen' fighter, masked in a keffiyeh and touting an RPG, warning that attacks will intensify.
Saddam Hussein is clearly also inclined to maintain his own media profile by smuggling taped messages to Arab TV networks, most recently Tuesday's exhortation to his loyalists to fight on. And for sheer chutzpah, it's hard to beat the Baghdad newspaper al-Mustaqila, published under the noses of the occupying authority, which was shut down after proclaiming it a religious duty to kill Iraqis who cooperate with the U.S.
Even some of the footsoldiers of the resistance appear to have developed an appetite for publicity. When the Palm Beach Post's Larry Kaplow ventured into Fallujah, where U.S. forces have encountered some of the most sustained resistance, he found local insurgents eager to show off their weapons caches and discuss their tactics with a Western reporter. They described a network of local men organized into cells and able to act both under the direction of local commanders and on their own initiative to attack U.S. units. And they plan to fight on even after Saddam is killed. Their security and sustenance is ensured by local tribal and clan structures, and they say they're being joined in battle by volunteers from other Arab countries. Newsday's Mohammed Bazzi managed to land an an interview with two publicity-hungry Arab jihadis who claim to be handling explosives and weapons for the resistance.
The same Newsday reporter had previously interviewed an intelligence officer of the former regime, who claimed to be a commander in a network of cells comprised largely of former Baathists and military and security personnel working to lay the groundwork for a long-term guerrilla resistance like that mounted by Hezbollah against the Israelis in southern Lebanon.
Earlier this week, the insurgents even made prime time when CBS Evening News aired an interview with three Iraqis who claim to have ambushed American troops. But these self-styled "farmers" denied being supporters of Saddam, telling CBS they were glad the dictator was gone, but were now fighting to end the occupation of their land. Their motivation, they said, was religious, which jibes with reports of a distinct Islamist element in the anti-American resistance. Some Sunni clerics have called for jihad, and U.S. officials believe a recent blast at a mosque in Fallujah occurred during a bomb-making class being taught inside the building.
The Islamists and Baathists are not necessarily even working together U.S. officers cite widely divergent levels of skill and professionalism in the attacks they encounter every day. Some involve skillful planning and use of weapons such as mortars, surface-to-air missiles or remote-detonated bombs assembled with some expertise; others simply involve young men bearing rifles or RPGs firing wildly before scattering.
The fact that most of these attacks have occurred in the "Sunni triangle" stretching north from Baghdad, however, signifies that the insurgency has a distinct social base. Sunni Arabs constitute 15 percent of Iraq's population, but they have dominated its politics and economy for most of the past century. Many of them were not Baathists, but as Iraq expert Professor Juan Cole, of the University of Michigan, notes, the Sunnis enjoyed a privileged status under Baathist rule equivalent to that of white South Africans under apartheid the state always rewarded them with a disproportionate allocation of resources and opportunities. The onset of democracy in Iraq, where Shiites compose two thirds of the population and even Kurds outnumber the Sunni Arabs almost two-to-one would almost certainly erode their position of comparative privilege.
Uncertainty over the future (particularly among the Sunnis), the humiliation of occupation and the breakdown in security and services that has accompanied it has created fertile ground for the insurgency to grow, and the country is awash with weapons distributed by the old regime. An independent assessment commissioned by the Pentagon (downloadable from the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned that defeating the insurgency and winning the peace depends on the coalition very quickly turning around the security situation and restoring normalcy to the lives of ordinary Iraqis. "The 'hearts and minds' of key segments of the Sunni and Shi'a communities are in play and can be won," the report noted, "but only if the Coalition Provisional Authority and new Iraqi authorities deliver in short order."
An insurgency confined to the Sunni minority can harass and disrupt U.S. efforts for months or even years, but as Bremer has noted it does not represent a strategic threat to the U.S. position in Iraq. That might change, however, if the rebellion extended to the Shiite majority. Two major Shiite parties previously exiled in Iran have, with the blessing of Iraq's Grand Ayatollah, joined the Iraqi Governing Council established by Bremer, and are therefore committed to pursuing their goal of ending the occupation through cooperation with the U.S. But those groups are facing a growing and increasingly militant challenge from the more radical followers of Moqtada al-Sadr, who is more inclined to challenge the Americans, albeit through non-violent means for now. But he did call for recruits for an army last Friday, and denounced the Governing Council as "infidels." The following day, 10,000 of his supporters took to the streets of Najaf in response to rumors that the U.S. was about to arrest al-Sadr. Until now, Sadr and his supporters have studiously avoided advocating violence against the U.S. But they have not necessarily been as averse to fratricidal violence Sadr supporters are blamed for killing a prominent pro-U.S. Shiite cleric at Najaf in the last days of the war, and the Pentagon's consultants warn that "internal fighting between rival factions" may become a danger to the coalition's work.
Of course, one factor that has always held even the most anti-American of Iraq's Shiite groups back from advocating violence against the U.S. was the fear of facilitating a return to power by Saddam's regime, which butchered hundreds of thousands of Shiites. But as President Bush pointed out Wednesday, the killing of the brothers Hussein is a sign that the old regime isn't coming back. Still, even if some Shiites become more inclined to take up arms against the occupation, communal tension remains a huge impediment to cooperation between Sunni and Shiite militants Sadr's supporters have enraged Sunni clerics by laying claim to their mosques in the predominantly Shiite south. Keeping the Shiites off the battlefield will be a key dimension of U.S. efforts to stabilize Iraq. And also a long-term counterinsurgency program and billions of dollars of aid to restart economic life and undermine resistance among the Sunnis. As the Pentagon's new deployment schedule suggests, this may still take years.

Just a quick update. Were in Venice for the weekend. We came down Friday and made the usual Trader Joe's stop. Then we dropped the boat off because we're having a tower built. We also hit up the sporting goods store and I went to Bealls Outlet and scored! I'll show you the haul when I can download pics again. Currently my phone is not cooperating. Big surprise.
I wasn't sure if I was going to run this weekend since I've got the most insane case of either poison ivy or poison oak and I'm itching like crazy, and then I woke up with a cold. I ran anyway, I just cut it short at 15 miles instead of 18, you know, in case I really have dengue fever or something.
Anyway, I'll have some pictures after the weekend. In the meantime, I am posting this pic from a couple of years ago. I was swimming in Hudson, Florida and a Manatee literally swam under me and bumped me. I know you're not supposed to touch them or play with them and I tried real hard not to. He didn't care. He stayed by my side for over an hour bumping into me, swimming under me and around me. He just wanted to play. I heard from one of the locals that he does it all the time. It was epic and here is one of the pics:
Hope your all having a wonderful weekend and enjoying all that this beautiful world has to offer.
Do you run when your sick? When are you too sick to run?

Stormy weather didn't put a damper on the kickoff for Orange Beach Councilman Jeff Boyd's campaign for the District 32 Alabama Senate Seat on Sunday, as hundreds of supporters showed up to support his candidacy.
Orange Beach Councilwoman Annette Mitchell introduced Boyd at the event, saying he would be a definite asset for the area.
"I know Jeff as a loving husband and father, a faith-filled and fun loving loyal friend, a passionate, dedicated knowledgable city council member," Mitchell said. "As our state senator, Jeff will bring his considerable talents, his work ethic and his passion for coastal Alabama all the way to Montgomery."
During his speech, Boyd mentioned the recent battle with the federal government over the recreational red snapper season as an example of his resolve and his use of relationships to try to affect change for local residents.
"I've learned in my life to build relationships, and I've spent the last years traveling to Montgomery and to Washington," Boyd said. "My love and my passion is building those relationships."
Boyd said he was shocked by the federal decision to shorten the recreational season to only three days this year, and felt he had to do something about it. He said he woke up at 3:30 a.m. one morning and wrote a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, a letter that eventually became a resolution approved unanimously by the Orange Beach City Council.
Boyd's maneuver bypassed NOAA and the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission and led directly to President Trump's US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, setting the stage for many to join in and win the battle with a great team effort.
With support of Congressman Bradley Byrne and Senators Luther Strange and Richard Shelby, along with letters from Governor Kay Ivey and great leadership by Alabama Conservation and Natural Resources Commissioner Chris Blankenship, as well as many others, Alabama stepped up to the plate with a great win for recreational fishermen.
"Every one of those letters was based off of what happened and started right here in Orange Beach," Boyd said. "As a result, we got 39 extra fishing days for federal red snapper season."
Boyd also touted his support for a new I-10 bridge and increasing the depth of the state port in Mobile as ways to help further bolster Baldwin County's economy.
Now in his second term as an Orange Beach City Councilman, Jeff Boyd won his first seat on the Council with a challenge against a longtime incumbent and won with over 70 percent of the vote. He won a second term with no opposition.
In 2016, Jeff Boyd led the fight to clean up the beaches, joining forces with condo owners, realtors, law enforcement and the Alabama Gulf State Park.
The "Leave Only Footprints" campaign has been a huge success, protecting the great asset of Baldwin County's beautiful beaches and precious sea life. Boyd has led the way with many other great improvements including the new seawall and fishing park at the Pass in Orange Beach.
Boyd has been married to his wife Kay for 23 years and has three children - Camden, Cade and Carson.
Boyd works with STERIS Corporation in their Healthcare Group as a Specialist in Infection PreventionTechnologies. He has won several awards with his work at STERIS, including Sales Professional of the Year, numerous Region of the Year awards and "Setting the Standard" awards.
He was chosen from over 8,000 employees to be the Chairman of the prestigious Field Advisory Committee. Boyd is also chairman of the Orange Beach Healthcare Authority.
Jeff Boyd serves as an advisor to Frontline Ministries, serves on the Founder's Circle of "Youth Reach" Gulf Coast and he and his family attend Flora- Bama Church and cherish the role model of their long time Sunday School teacher Dr. Will Baker.

Thanks to footnoteMaven's sponsorship and challenge, it is time for the Christmas Carol - Blog Caroling.
Just call me a child at heart, one of my favorite holiday songs has always been "The Little Drummer Boy", it really tugs at my heart. In 1968 Rankin/Bass Productions released the animated television version of the story of the song. I don't remember watching it back in 1968, but, by the 70's I had young children and this was one of the several holiday stories we found ourselves watching just about every single year. Ya, I almost always teared up, sappy Carol. I loved the story, I loved the animation, I loved the song.
When I went searching for a version on YouTube, I was delighted to find snippets of the original animated version and the song sung by the late John Denver, another one of my favorites. WIN!! And, here it is, I hope you enjoy! The reason for the season.
May the blessings of the season be with you.
* This video was posted by YouTube user mistikay. ** This is the 3rd year I have chosen this song to highlight, it is still one of my favorites. fM and I have agreed, it is a threepeat.

- My girlfriend came for four days, which was AWESOME!
- I got mono and had to go to the hospital.
- We traveled to beautiful New Hampshire for the camping!
- It rained so hard we never even unpacked our stuff- just turned around and went home after lunch at a diner.
- We got to spend quality time together as a family!
- The majority of that quality time was spent crammed in a minivan with two crying children and me on my deathbed.
- It was so great to be in Massachusetts at my childhood home!
- I had to sleep on a borrowed blow-up bed in the basement office; a room normally inhabited by spiders and storage.
All in all, things evened out and it was a great trip. It started terribly but then things started looking up. The first three days of the trip I was very sick and in pain. I had a sore throat like no other. My lymph nodes were so swollen they covered the majority of the air canal down my throat and were covered in white puss. They protruded on the outside of my throat, which turned out to be a good thing because then I could massage them easier (which felt moderately good). Every time I swallowed it felt like a white-hot dagger was being dragged down my throat. It hurt so much my body refused to swallow naturally. I could only sleep for an hour at a time because my body just refused to swallow. I woke up in the night 7-8 times, sat up, and manually swallowed before going back to sleep for 45 minutes. I couldn't eat, and was losing a pound a day. After three days of not getting any better I finally decided to intervene. I have never once been to the hospital for an illness, but that streak was about to end. So off to the ER I went. I was told my throat looked 'very angry' and was diagnosed with Strep by the RN. Things got really awkward when I thought she had said "Strip!" when actually she said "Strep!" Under most circumstances I never would have stripped down, but at the doctor's office it didn't seem too unreasonable. I had my shirt off and pants unbuttoned by the time she asked me what on Earth I was doing. Even when the Strep test came back negative, the doctor told me he was pretty sure it was a bad case of Strep, and gave me some Vicadin and penicillin and sent me on my way. On the car ride home the same doctor called me to inform me he ran my blood sample through some tests, and it was determined that I did not in fact have Strep- I had.... Mono! So now I have a wicked sore throat and I'm super tired! I took some Vicadin, and it pretty much acts as chloroform on me. As in I have to take a pill while I'm already in bed because I pass out for many hours immediately, no matter where I am. I didn't know this at first, and took the pill in the mall. At the exact time that I passed out my sister noticed I had some frosting on my lip and bent over to wipe it off with a napkin for me. It looked exactly like she was putting a wet cloth over my mouth as I passed out... Two people called the cops and I guess it took a long time to sort out. I don't really know though, I was fast asleep. For the next two days it was a trade off- lose the pain but be incapacitated by sleep, or have the pain but be awake. I usually chose the sleep.
|Walden Pond.
By the fifth day of the vacation my girlfriend showed up and I began feeling better. It also meant no bed for me. I was banished to the basement, a full two floors away from the next closest human in the house. I was on a borrowed blow-up bed in the computer tech room. The first night I slept down there I had to kill a spider on my pillow. My pillow, of course, being a coach pillow from Turkey that was quite small and meant more as a decorative piece than a comfort inducer. The floor in the basement is also uneven, making my feet rise above my noggin. But, it was a small sacrifice in order to make sure everyone else got a bed. I did think it was a little rude of my mother to let our dog Gracie have the spare Queen bed though. It's like, C'mon Mom, at least let me share the bed with Gracie. But no, the basement it was for me.
|Mount Auburn Cemetery
There's one last thing I haven't mentioned yet- the camping trip. Sort of the whole point of this trip was for my family to gather home for a camping trip (except my sister in LA couldn't come). We have a favorite campsite on the Appalachian trail that we used to go to every year when we were growing up. On Tuesday we loaded up two cars and headed off. It's no small ordeal camping with eight people, two of whom are actually under the age of 3, and five who act like they're under the age of 3. We folded down the backseats of our van and loaded it up like a Hawai'ian haystack. We had two tents, eight camping chairs, enough food to feed eight for 3 meals, an ax, luggage, pillows, sleeping bags, a pack-and play, kiddie backpacks, and my brother's desktop which he refuses to leave the house without. It's like, C'mon Thomas, bring your laptop! But no, he wants the computer aptly named "Big Blue."

For views of fall foliage, you don't have to leave Philadelphia. Philly offers plenty of opportunity this fall to appreciate colorful changing leaves inside the city. Leaf peepers can appreciate fall foliage colors on Philadelphia's urban bike paths, in its sculpture gardens, cemeteries, parks, and neighborhoods. Bonus: most of these pretty spots are free.
Fall Foliage Behind the Philadelphia Art Museum
You don't even have to leave Center City Philadelphia to see its fall foliage. Behind the Philadelphia Art Museum is a green space ringed by trees, a small sculpture garden, and a lawn with trees that slopes down to the Schuylkill River, all of which put on a good fall color show. All are free, have plenty of space for kids to run around or to picnic, and give you a chance to see fall colors close to Center City. Bathrooms and a casual café are in the Fairmount Park building at the foot of Boathouse Row.
Bike Path Along the Schuylkill River
Flanking the Philadelphia Art Museum and extending along the Schuylkill River by Boathouse Row and beyond is a bike and walking path. It's free. Walk (or rent a bike by the hour at Wheel Fun Rentals) to check out fall foliage along the path while appreciating the beauty of the river and the grace of the occasional rower gliding by.
Two downsides: The bike path and ribbon park are pretty wide, but they do run alongside a busy street, Kelly Drive, which can be noisy. NOTE: Parts of the bike path and the ribbon park are undergoing renovations in Fall 2016.
Fall Foliage Along Kelly Drive in Philadelphia
A fun and different way to take in the beauty of the fall foliage along the Schuylkill riverbank is from inside your car. This lovely view features several twisting miles of Kelly Drive (named for Grace Kelly's father, an Olympic rower from Philadelphia), punctuated by runners, bikers, and picnickers. Free.
Belmont Plateau in West Philadelphia
If you'd like to check out fall foliage while taking in the city's skyline, visit Belmont Plateau. This sprawling green lawn is rimmed by trees, with the Philadelphia skyline in the distance, looming like the Emerald City. Free. For other great views of the Philadelphia skyline, click here.
Fall Foliage at Morris Arboretum in Chestnut Hill
Kids visiting the 92-acre Morris Arboretum in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia can climb huge outdoor metal sculptures, play hide and seek in the garden buildings, visit the swans and ducks in the pond, or peek inside the Victorian greenhouse. Fall foliage is all around. The Arboretum has native and imported trees of all sizes, plus programs for kids and adults. Entrance fee, bathroom, casual cafe on site.
Laurel Hill Cemetery in East Falls
Would your kids be spooked by visiting a graveyard to see the changing leaves? If not, check out Laurel Hill Cemetery. It's perched on a hill in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia, just a few miles from Center City. It not only has lovely fall foliage, it's got a great view overlooking the Schuylkill River. Free, bathroom and souvenir shop on site.
Horticultural Center in West Philadelphia
Between watching the changing fall colors, kids can run on several acres of open green lawn dotted with sculptures, watch a fountain, or picnic beneath the trees at the Horticultural Center in West Philadelphia. You can also duck inside the greenhouse, which has plants and statues. The Horticultural Center is inside Philadelphia's sprawling Fairmount Park. Free, bathrooms. Bonus: It is across the street from a replica of a 17th Century Japanese House and Garden, which charges a fee, is a destination in itself, and has its own beautiful fall foliage.
Forbidden Drive in Fairmount Park
Philadelphia is lucky to have a forest inside the city. It's located alongside the Wissahickon Creek and is part of the city's extensive Fairmount Park network. Our family enjoys hiking or biking along its relatively flat dirt road that permits horses but forbids cars. Forbidden Drive (it's cars that are forbidden) is a fun place for changing leaves in Philadelphia. This 1800-acre park is mostly wooded, and stretches from the Chestnut Hill neighborhood to the Manayunk neighborhood, all inside Philadelphia. Trails crisscross the main path, if your family is up for more rugged walking while taking in the fall colors.
