Out of this series of for-

The failure was an attempt-

extremely easy. The point
and shaft of the pin were
brought outward through the bifurcation, while the
head of the pin, which caught purchase motilium on the opposite bron-
chial wall, held it firmly, and this caused the forceps
to slip its hold. The writer had worked only a short
time, but as the pin was now placed in an extremely

The third death was due to the retention of a piece
of peanut kernel, which caused septic bronchitis and
pulmonary abscess, and death ensued six weeks

would be that for the total removal of the same

My name is Storn A. Cook. "Storn" is my real name. My mom made it up while playing a word game on paper, drawing random letters out of a paper bag while she was pregnant. But I have been told it is Norwegian and there is a tiny town in Scotland that shares the name.
I'm an illustrator with over 20 years of experience as a freelancer. My mother is an artist, so art supplies were in easy reach as a young 'un. Growing up in the sticks, had a lot of time on my hands and when I discovered comics and roleplaying, I was off and drawing fantasy and superheroes non stop. It was at 15 I decided I wanted to be a professional illustrator. Took me a decade to make that happen.
I went to New York University for two years and then finished my art degree, several years later at Columbus College of Art and Design. CCAD was the perfect place for me, it was tough, demanding and I learned a tremendous amount in a short time. I was already freelancing and was bringing paying work in as homework assignments or vice versa.
Now, I live in Newfield. I work at Ehrhart Energy, but continue doing freelance work n the side. I have a lovely wife, Milagros, and 4 cats and a great studio that overlooks Ithaca College and the ridge beyond is Cornell University (where my granddad taught mathematics).

Mabuhay Filipino Thinkers!
Our country is facing numerous predicaments right now from the Mindanao Crisis, Pork Barrel Scandal and the alleged cover ups of the Malacanan Palace to the anomalies of their Allies. Also, let us never forget the left and right mass protest action of the concerned citizens and the apparent coup plot brewing inside our very own Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Every Filipino now must be saying :
Nako! Nagkanda leche-leche na ang bayan natin. Pa ulit-ulit nalang! Sila-sila nalang!
However, I want to give our fellow readers a different perspective regarding the ongoing Mindanao Crisis based on the direct information I learned from a good friend who is a proud MNLF sympathizer and a son of a former MNLF Commander. Our conversation lasted for 2 hours and it was very detailed and enlightening on understanding the other side of the party while all we see in the mainstream media are different kinds of propaganda warfare from MNLF and AFP.
When I asked my friend about what is happening in Mindanao and their justification for the recent Zamboanga Stand-off he simply answered me point blank with this statement :
"Bro, ang problema sa Mindanao parang problema ng Palestine at Israel. Hindi ito matatapos ng MOA sa MILF dahil ang MILF malakas lang sa Cotabato, Maguindanao at Lanao del Sur habang ang MNLF naman ay malakas sa Basilan, Sulu at Tawi-Tawi. Iniwan nila kami sa ere. HIndi naman pwede ganon nalang"
Then, I asked him what do they want to achieve and why are they still supporting Nur Misuari who was given a chance already to lead ARMM as a Governor after the 1996 Peace Covenant with FVR.
"Bro, ang peace covenant na iyan. Hindi naman na sunod at hindi binigay ng gobyerno lahat. Hindi naman autonomy talaga iyan dahil controlled pa rin ng Government ang mga mamumuno sa ARMM dahil pinapabahaan nila ng pera. Isa pa, walang consistency dahil every 6 years iba na naman ang leader. Peace talks na inumpisahan ni FVR, tinapos naman ng All out war ni Erap. Mga kapatid din namin ang mga MILF at halos lahat iyan ay magkakamag anak o magkaka kilala dahil maliit lang ang Mindanao."
In all honesty, I simply do not believe that it is a valid justification on the problem since Nur Misuari already had the chance to be the Governor and blew it away backed by numerous alleged scandals that he just personally enriched himself while in the office. However, I still listened to him with an open mind and asked him about the solution he believed that can solve the whole ongoing chaos in Mindanao and he answers me again with his broken tagalog with a crisp Tausug accent.
"Una sa lahat bro, dapat di nakiki elam si Maam Climaco (Mayor of Zamboanga City) dahil Mayor kalang. National issue ito, dapat ine-endorse nya ito sa national level hindi yung palaban agad ang dating mo syempre lalaban at lalaban iyang mga tao. They are asking for freedom deprived to them. Lahat nalang ng ARMM head galing sa Malacanan. Linalaro nalang nila ang pinangako nilang demokrasya. Ano aasahan mo samin na maniwala kami sa mga tao na nangangako ng freedom bro eh di nga nila maayos ang Metro Manila. Dapat ang ARMM kung gusto nila ayusin may District 1 and District 2. Example : Basilan-Sulu-Tawi Tawi malakas si Nur District 1 iyan and District 2 naman kung saan malakas ang MILF."
I asked him if is it possible that MILF and MNLF would join force together for a united Bangsamoro Autonomous State :
"Imposible bro. Hindi mangyayari iyan dahil parang magkakapatid iyan na may pride na rin at isa pa every 6 years iba ang pangulo. Hindi guarantee na ang pinag uusapan ngayon itutuloy ng susunod. Parang parliamentary government ang ARMM na puro assemblyman pero ang mga taxes puro National Government pa rin. 25-75 revenue sharing hindi pa napapatunayan na mangyayari iyan. "
Now, I am more confused. Why are they still asking for freedom and total autonomy kung ranks lang nila di nila ma unite? Still, I do not want to prejudge them because they are the one who is directly involved in the situation while I am talking to him inside the comfort of my home where hospitals are within my reach, basic roads and infrastructure is never a problem and I have the luxury of being literate while most of our brothers in Mindanao do not have basic materials for a primary education. Wait a minute!
Did I just mentioned luxury of being literate? Did I just emphasized basic services?
I think we are about to understand the problem more and YES! We are about to find out what is the real problem. Is it our Bangsamoro brothers and sisters or the Government ? or "US" Filipino people in Luzon and Visayas who never treated nor consider them as our very own family?
Anyway, here we go for our another piece of conversation when I asked about what may happen if they "successfully" seceded as a country or in simple term : "Humiwalay sa Pilipinas"
"Bro, if maging successful we can enjoy more funds/resources to build more roads, infrastructure tulad ng palengke, hospital, mosque, eskwelahan. Ang nangyayari pinepera lang nila lahat ang pondo. Matagal na ito ginagawa sa Mindanao hindi kami pinapakinggan pero sa Luzon 10B pork barrel scam national headlines na agad. Hindi naman kami trina trato na Pilipino. Kahit mapunta kami sa Malaysia mas pabor samin iyon dahil mas maiintindihan kami ng kapwa namin Muslim at mas malapit sa amin ang kultura."
Did he just mentioned basic services and infrastructure? Did he just mentioned that they are open to be part of Malaysia rather than continue as part of a Philippine where they are often deprived of basic human rights? Something must be wrong not just to them but in the Philippines society as well.
Marahil tama sila. Kung ang Ampatuan na nagnakaw ng bilyon-bilyon ay hanggang ngayon wala pa mi isa na nahatulan sa kabila ng kanilang pag ma-masaker sa isang katutak na mga Journo/media. Ano ang mararamdaman nila kung sa Metro Manila naman ay halos mapatalsik na ang Presidente dahil sa 10B pork barrel scam habang sila ay matagal na itong rinereklamo? Sila palagi ang bagsakan ng bomba para ma lihis ang issue sa Metro Manila. Are we realistic when we say we are Pro-Philippines? or is this the proper time to change the stand to Pro-Filipino.
Let us never forget that Metro Manila alone evicted 2 Presidents and while a big chunk of Mindanao is considered as a "war zone."
We talked for 2 hours and discussed many things both personal and our public stand on some important topics. However, not to make this article any longer. I would like to end this by a very important and enlightening recollection I had when he answered my simple question:
I told him :
"Bro. what we need is to empower the people to speak up their mind and share their sentiments and suggestions in the government without a fear of a possible political reprisal and equalize the opportunity of Filipino people to serve the public by reforming our expensive election system. Do you think bro we can push that idea to our brothers in Mindanao? Do you think that can be a good answer to your quest for equality and empowerment?"
He answered :
"Not at this moment bro. It cannot be done in a system bro na lahat korakot. Lahat magnanakaw, lahat may ambisyon maging Presidente para sa interest nila. Mangyari man yan bro, every 6 years palit ng pangulo. Bago ang direksyon. Sa ngayon bro, hanggat hindi kami napapakinggan instead ang 3rd generations ng fighters sa sa plenaryo at microphone ang hawak sa pakikipag laban. Hindi ito matatapos at bakbakan pa rin ito hanggang sa susunod na generation. Pano namin pagkatiwalaan ang gobyerno na hindi consistent at pabago-bago. Gobyerno na nagpapabaha ng pera kada eleksyon para mag bilihan ng boto. Sistema na kung sino sino ang kandidato at hindi nakikipag debate para malaman kung ano ang plano at plataporma."
It is really hard to conclude anything in a society where we are divided by our political and sociological biases. However, let us look forward that majority of the Filipinos may have a better understanding that unless we listen to them as a Filipino and share to them the basic human rights and services that are needed we cannot expect anything new. They will simply close their ears from the same people who are offering them to "freedom and democracy" that even us in Manila failed to implement well.
They made a lot of pragmatic standpoint. How can we export our own brand of democracy and freedom if we are still having a hard time implementing it in our own backyard? Let us never forget that they never stop in raising the issue that they are a different "state" from the Philippines.
You want a better and peaceful Mindanao? We should start empowering our fellow Filipinos all around the world to be heard. Give them an avenue where they can speak up their mind and suggest.
Give them a fair and transparent election, An informative and not a limiting kind where only the rich and strangers' with the blessing of the Malacanan Palace can participate. Unless we start addressing the right problem, we cannot get the solutions we want.
Wait a minute, am I talking about their simple request that we here in Manila cannot even enjoy?
I do not want to end this article this way but it seems that we are in a chicken and egg situation. I do not want to say "God Bless the Philippines!" nalang talaga and I still want to believe that there is good hope for this country within our lifetime.

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin says that she is open to running for President of the United States in 2012
Posted on 11/13/2008 1:31:17 PM PST by TheFourthMagi
Spend six minutes with Sarah: video here. Wolf Blitzer never had a chance.
I'm only one vote, but it's hers.
I'm another. :o)
That's great. I really hope she does.
It's a way too early to call, but as of now I'm in.
Unless someone comes along that scares the lefties even more than Sarah Palin does and can draw the kind of deranged venom she gets from the atheist, hate-America crowd, proving her value, I'll be happy to give Governor Palin my vote for president in 2012.
Blitzer never got off the ground. Ain't she marvelous?
She reminds me of Barbara Stanwyck in "Meet John Doe" and "Christmas in Connecticut".
Both worth renting by the way.
Mine, too.
I imagine it'll be a crowded field.
Me too, I'm in.
She better! And she better make sure she picks on heck of a conservative for her running mate. No more RINOs!
Love her.
She has my vote.
You know these so-called "intellectual" pundits are nothing but empty suits like the president-elect. Sarah mades mincemeat of his sniveling ways, well, he's a girly-man after all.
Notice that Blitzer talks about Obama's "precious lovely girls" but never mind all the filth poured on the Palin family, beyond the pale.
Thanks for posting. I missed it on TV and am glad to finally see it.
Sarah did great, Wolf was civil. As I've said before, all of the MSM are nice to her in interviews now that Obama has won. Kinda pathetic. But I'm glad at least she's finally getting the correct exposure.

Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP)
The Medical Device Single Audit Program was developed by a group of medical device regulators to allow recognized third-party auditors to conduct a single audit of a medical device manufacturer that will cover ISO 13485 and their respective regulatory requirements.
More information and documents about the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) and MDSAP are available on the IMDRF website and on the FDA's website.
The regulatory authorities that are currently participating in the MDSAP Pilot Program are:
- Australia - TGA
- Brazil - ANVISA
- Canada - Health Canada
- Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) and the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA)
How will regulatory authorities utilize MDSAP audit reports?
Australia: The Therapeutics Goods Administration - TGA will use an MDSAP audit report as part of the evidence that is assessed for compliance with medical device market authorization requirements unless the medical device is otherwise excluded or exempt from these requirements or if current policies restrict the use of MDSAP audit reports.
Brazil: The Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency – ANVISA will utilize the outcomes of the program, including the reports, to constitute an important input on ANVISA's pre-market and post-market assessment procedures, providing, when applicable, key information that are expected to support regulatory technical evaluation on these issues.
Canada: Health Canada – HC accepts the results of the Medical Devices Single Audit Program as the mechanism to achieve regulatory compliance for quality management system requirements in Canada.
Japan: MHLW and PMDA will utilize these audit reports in both premarket and periodical post market audit under regulations in Japan. Undergoing the MDSAP Pilot audits is expected .to reduce some burden on Japanese regulatory processes.
United States: U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health – FDA will accept the MDSAP audit reports as a substitute for FDA routine inspections. Inspections conducted "For Cause" or "Compliance Follow-up" by FDA will not be affected by this program. Moreover, this MDSAP program would not apply to any necessary pre-approval or post approval inspections for Premarket Approval (PMA) applications or to decisions under section 513(f)(5) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 360c(f)(5)) concerning the classification of a device."
Note: The European Union, China and Russia are members of the IMDRF Management Committee but are not participating in the pilot program at this time.

Study: Indian, Chinese immigrants going home to work
A Duke University researcher says the United States may no longer be the world's only land of opportunity.
According to a study released today, immigrants from India and China are returning to their home countries for better jobs and a more luxurious standard of living.
Vivek Wadhwa, a professor in Duke's Pratt School of Engineering, co-authored the study, in which researchers interviewed 1,200 highly educated Indian and Chinese professionals who returned to their countries after living in the United States. Most returned for better job prospects and pay.
Wadhwa said the growing job market in those countries, visa backlogs and anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States are pulling immigrants back to the places they once thought they had left for good.

Michelle Obama new policy for school lunches
Former first lady Michelle Obama on Friday warned President Donald Trump's efforts to scale back programs that affect American children. Obama made the remarks at the annual Partnership for a Healthier America Summit in Washington, D.C. "We've got to make sure we don't let anybody take us back," she said, noting particularly the Trump administration's efforts to unwind her legacy program to improve nutrition for schoolchildren. Perdue's argument last week was, "If kids aren't eating the … [Read more...]
Are potatoes healthy
Yes, a plain baked potato is a healthy food, especially when it is consumed with its fiber-rich skin. But because its nutrient profile and composition is different from other vegetables (it has more starch than leafy greens, for example), it shouldn't be the only vegetable in your diet. Though potatoes may be thought of as a fattening food, a medium, unsalted plain baked potato with skin has only 160 calories and is naturally fat- and cholesterol-free. Each potato also packs about 4 grams … [Read more...]
Food insecurity has impact on school readiness, performance

The study used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study--Birth Cohort and analyzed 3,700 low-income … [Read more...]
Study finds 'fasting-mimicking' diet has major health benefits
Researchers at the University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology showed a periodic fasting diet can reduce cardiovascular risk factors, among other health benefits. The study consisted of 100 adults ages 20 to 70 who were placed on three cycles of a low-calorie, fasting-mimicking diet from April 2013 to July 2015. Participants were separated into two groups, a control group eating a normal diet and a group placed on the three-month cycle of fasting-mimicking diet. … [Read more...]
Plant-based diets good for healthy weight loss
If you've resolved to eat healthy and lose weight in 2017, a new report suggests the DASH diet may be your best bet. For the seventh year in a row, U.S. News & World Report has named the plant-based eating plan as the best choice overall, followed by the Mediterranean diet, up from fourth place last year. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, but its benefits go beyond preventing high blood pressure, the report found. The DASH and the Mediterranean diets, as well as … [Read more...]
Alcohol at holiday parties, be careful
During the holiday season, gatherings and parties are a part of the festivities. Unfortunately, so are alcohol-related accidents and deaths. Many people who attend seasonal parties seldom drink alcohol, making them more vulnerable to its effects, according to experts at UC Davis Health System in California. Meanwhile, heavy drinkers may use holiday gatherings as an opportunity to let loose and drink too much, the experts cautioned. Drinking in moderation can help prevent alcohol-related … [Read more...]
A little daily alcohol may cut stroke risk
Light or moderate drinking may reduce the risk of one type of stroke but not another, while heavy drinking increases the risk of both types, a new study suggests. A research team from England and Sweden reviewed 25 studies as well as national data from Sweden. The investigators reported that consumption of up to two drinks a day was associated with a lower risk of ischemic stroke (blocked blood flow to the brain), but appeared to have no effect on the risk of bleeding (hemorrhagic) … [Read more...]
Does marijuana weaken heart muscles?
Just last week, five more states voted to legalize recreational marijuana, but users may want to be cautious.

Recognizing the possible adverse health effects of smoking pot to get high, the researchers examined the link between marijuana use and heart health. The researchers, … [Read more...]

Cushman & Wakefield today announced that Bill Magner, a leading commercial real estate brokerage professional and executive with 30 years of industry experience, has been named Executive Managing Director and Area Leader of the firm's Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Region. The role was previously held by Jim Underhill, who was recently named CEO, Americas for the firm.
Mr. Magner will be based in Cushman & Wakefield's Washington, D.C. office. He was previously Director of Brokerage for the Mid-Atlantic region of Jones Lang LaSalle, where he was asked to direct Tenant Representation Services for the U.S. and was a Member of the Global Transactions Board.
Prior to joining JLL, Mr. Magner was Principal and Executive Team member of Spaulding & Slye, a full-service commercial real estate firm based in Boston, MA, which was acquired by JLL in 2006. He spent 22 years with Spaulding & Slye, first as an agency and tenant representative, where he was involved in relationships with IBM, Lockheed Martin and Bank of America. Mr. Magner soon rose to lead the firm's Bethesda office.
"Bill comes to Cushman & Wakefield with unmatched experience and is well-respected within our industry - both in Washington, D.C. and throughout the country," said Mr. Underhill. "Under his direction, Spaulding & Slye was well-known in Washington for its collaborative approach in serving clients. We look forward to Bill bringing his talent to our Mid-Atlantic and Southeast operations."

His responsibilities grew to include the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions, and Spaulding & Slye became a major competitor in the Washington, D.C. market.
Mr. Magner began his real estate career as a broker with the McCann Company in Houston.r. Magner is an active member of his community.

Visible Satellite Loop Monday
The visible satellite loop from Monday showed a fairly sunny day across much of the state. A complex of showers and storms from South Dakota moved into western Minnesota late in the day. This unsettled weather will become more widespread as we head into Tuesday.
Severe Threats: Tuesday & Wednesday
According to NOAA's SPC, there is a risk of strong to severe storms on Tuesday and Wednesday across parts of the region. At this point, there is a better chance for severe storms on Tuesday across much of Minnesota, while the threat on Wednesday shifts a little farther southeast.
Simulated Radar
Meanwhile, the Atlantic basin looks to remain quiet over the next 5 days. Stay tuned...
2017 Lightning Fatalities
According to NOAA's NWS, there have been 7 lightning fatalities so far this year, the most recent coming from North Carolina on July 18th as a 40-some year old man was walking to store. Note that 4 of these deaths have occurred in Florida, which is considered to be the lightning capital of the United States.
According to NOAA's NWS, lightning kills an average of 47 people each year in United States! Over the last 10 years, 310 people have died from lightning and what is interesting is that nearly 79% have been males!
Did you know that lightning is nearly 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun? Here are a few interesting myths and facts from NOAA's NWS regarding lightning:
Myth: If you're caught outside during a thunderstorm, you should crouch down to reduce your risk of being struck.
Fact: Crouching doesn't make you any safer outdoors. Run to a substantial building or hard topped vehicle. If you are too far to run to one of these options, you have no good alternative. You are NOT safe anywhere outdoors. See our safety page for tips that may slightly reduce your risk.
Myth: Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
Fact: Lightning often strikes the same place repeatedly, especially if it's a tall, pointy, isolated object. The Empire State Building is hit an average of 23 times a year
Myth: If it's not raining or there aren't clouds overhead, you're safe from lightning.
Fact: Lightning often strikes more than three miles from the center of the thunderstorm, far outside the rain or thunderstorm cloud. "Bolts from the blue" can strike 10-15 miles from the thunderstorm.
Myth: Rubber tires on a car protect you from lightning by insulating you from the ground.
Fact: Most cars are safe from lightning, but it is the metal roof and metal sides that protect you, NOT the rubber tires. Remember, convertibles, motorcycles, bicycles, open-shelled outdoor recreational vehicles and cars with fiberglass shells offer no protection from lightning. When lightning strikes a vehicle, it goes through the metal frame into the ground. Don't lean on doors during a thunderstorm.
Myth: A lightning victim is electrified. If you touch them, you'll be electrocuted.
Fact: The human body does not store electricity. It is perfectly safe to touch a lightning victim to give them first aid. This is the most chilling of lightning Myths. Imagine if someone died because people were afraid to give CPR!
Myth: If outside in a thunderstorm, you should seek shelter under a tree to stay dry.
Fact: Being underneath a tree is the second leading cause of lightning casualties. Better to get wet than fried!
See more on lightning including safety tips HERE:
It certainly has been a fairly active first half of 2017 with 1190 preliminary tornado reports through July 23rd. Note that this is the most tornadoes through July 23rd since 2011, when there were 1,662 reports. The map below shows the distribution of the tornadoes so far this year.
PRELIMINARY 2017 Tornado Count
According to NOAA's SPC, the PRELIMINARY 2017 tornado count is 1190 (through July 23). Note that is the most active year for tornadoes since 2011, when there were 1,662 tornadoes. Keep in mind there was a major tornado outbreak in the Gulf Coast region from April 25-28, 2011 that spawned nearly 500 tornadoes, some of which were deadly. That outbreak is known as the Super Outbreak of 2011 and has gone down in history as one of the biggest, costliest and one of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in history.
National Weather Hazards Ahead...
1.) Excessive heat across portions of the Middle Mississippi Valley, the Lower Mississippi Valley, the Southern Plains, the Ohio Valley, and the Tennessee Valley, Thu, Jul 27.
2.) Heavy rain across portions of the Southwest, Central and Southern Rockies, and the Central and Southern Plains, Thu-Fri, Jul 27-Jul 28.
3.) Heavy rain across portions of the Northeast, Thu-Fri, Jul 27-Jul 28.
4.) Heavy rain across portions of the Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic, Sat-Sun, Jul 29-Jul 30.
5.) Flooding occurring or imminent across portions of the Upper and Middle Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes.
6.) Flooding possible across portions of the Central and Southern Plains, the Central and Southern Rockies, the Central Great Basin, and the Southwest.
7.) Flooding likely across portions of the Middle Mississippi Valley.
8.) Slight risk of much above-normal temperatures for portions of the Great Basin, the Northern Plains, the Northern Rockies, California, the Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest, Tue-Sat, Aug 1-Aug 5.
9.) Severe Drought across parts of the Great Plains, Arizona, California, and Hawaii.
"Hi-Line farmers feeling drought's burn"
"The life had been fading from Grant Zerbe's stunted chickpeas for the better part of a month, and now drought's hot breath was burning through the final green inch of every plant stem.The Montana farmer's worst growing season in 30 years was coming to a brutal end. There are few crops to harvest in the region, and with a lack of food and water, unwanted livestock are headed to auction. "Normally, we'd be getting 1,200 pounds to an acre," Zerbe said. "The crop would be so thick you couldn't see the ground." Northeast Montana is experiencing the worst drought in the country. On U.S. Drought Monitor maps, the Montana portion branded "extreme" spans 350 miles. Combined with drought in the Dakotas, Montana's losses contribute to what the U.S. Department of Agriculture expects to be a 64 million bushel loss in wheat production. Durum, a specialty crop for Montana and North Dakota, is expected to be down in bushels 45 percent from last year."

EXCEPTIONAL Drought in Montana
According to the US Drought Monitor, parts of Montana are now under an EXCEPTIONAL Drought. While nearly 2% is considered to be in an EXCEPTIONAL drought, 22% is under an EXTREME drought. Also, nearly 65% of the state is considered to be either abnormally dry or in some type of drought.
EXCEPTIONAL Drought in North Dakota
National Weather Outlook
Here's the weather outlook through the early weekend suggests that stormy weather returns to the Midwest with strong to severe storms and locally heavy rainfall midweek. Monsoon storms continue in the Southwest with a few strong storms and areas of locally heavy rain. Late week and early weekend, another round of storms and heavy rain will move in along the Eastern US.
Excessive Rainfall Potential Tuesday & Wednesday
Excessive rainfall potential is in place over parts of the Midwest over the next couple days and the rainfall forecast suggests some 1" to 2"+ rainfall tallies through AM Saturday. Areas of heavy rain could lead to localized areas of flooding.
Monsoonal Storms
WOW - take a look at this video that @WesCallisonTNN tweeted a couple of days ago, which shows a monsoon storm developing and dumping a huge blob of heavy rain over some of the mountains in Arizona. These types of heavy rainfall events can lead to dust storms and flash flooding.
Here's the simulated radar from Tuesday to Saturday, which shows the potential of daily monsoon storms continuing across the region. Note that some of the storms could be a little on the strong side with gusty winds, dust storms and locally heavy rain, which could lead to localized flooding. The 5 day rainfall forecast below suggests that some areas could see up to 1" of rain or more through the end of next week!
"Crews stop spread of huge California wildfire near Yosemite"
"Crews contending with triple-digit temperatures slowed the spread of an aggressive wildfire that destroyed dozens of homes in a rural area of California near Yosemite National Park, officials said Sunday. The blaze burning for a week has scorched just over 119 square miles (308 square kilometers) of dense brush and dead trees in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Many evacuated residents were allowed to return, but flames continue to threaten about 1,500 homes in Mariposa County. The fire was 45 percent contained, but officials said it could take crews another two weeks to fully surround it. "They are still out in front of an uncontrolled fire, but the fire isn't moving at 30 mph (48 kph). The fire is crawling along," fire spokesman Brandon Vaccaro said Saturday. Flames spared Mariposa, a historic Gold Rush-era town, but more than 130 buildings, including 63 homes, were destroyed. More than 5,000 firefighters fought the blaze using air tankers and fleets of helicopters and bulldozers."
(This satellite imagery, posted Wednesday, July 19, 2017 on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website, shows a large plume of smoke spreading hundreds of miles east from the Ditwiler fire, near Yosemite National Park in California's Sierra Nevada. Authorities say the stubborn wildfire burning in foothills west of Yosemite had destroyed dozens of structures while forcing thousands of people from their homes Wednesday. The San Francisco Bay Area is at left; Lake Tahoe is at top center. (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
DetWiler Fire - Near Yosemite - California
The Detwiler Fire located near Yosemite National Park in California has ballooned to a very large 76,500 acre fire since Sunday, July 16th. This fire has already consumed more than 130 structures; 63 homes, 67 minor structures and 1 commercial structure. A number of other homes and smaller structures have been damaged as well, but 1,500 other structures are being threatened now. There are almost 4,200 people working on the fire and it is only 50% contained at this point . Higher humidity levels are helping create better fire fighting conditions.
According to Inciweb, one of the largest fires currently burning in the Lower 48 is the Lodgepole Complex located 52 miles NW of Jordan, MT. This particular fire has consumed a whopping 226,000 acres and is expected to be fully contained by Wednesday, August 2nd. This particular fire started on Wednesday, July 19th and quickly spread as hot, dry and windy weather created extreme fire behavior. Gusty winds are still posing a concern for the fire.
Here's a look at the current wildfire map across the country. Recent hot and dry weather has helped to spark several wildfires across the Western US, while a few have also been popping up in the Eastern US.
Here's a list of all the current large wildfires from Inciweb:
By Todd Nelson, filling in for Douglas
It's been 30 years since the 1987 Homer Hanky was being waved. Big bats from Dan Gladden in game 1 and Kent Hrbek in game 6 along with a loaded pitching staff that included Bert Blylevin and MVP Frankie "Sweet Music" Viola helped bring home the 1st World Series for the MN Twins that year. My ears are still ringing from the roar in Dome. WOW - What a year!
It has also been 30 years since the 1987 Twin Cities Superstorm when 10 inches of rain fell at the Twin Cities Airport from July 23rd to 24th. This caused massive flooding across parts of the metro, which lead to nearly $30 million in damages and 2 flood related deaths.
1987, no question, was an interesting summer.
Sticky sunshine returns Tuesday with dewpoints spiking in the upper 60s and low 70s. This could help spark a few strong to severe storms later with rounds of heavy rain overnight. Some in southern Minnesota could see as much as 1 to 3 inches of rain through early Wednesday, but Chamber of Commerce days look to return Thursday through Saturday. Soak it up!

2.9 Days Since New Moon
After a couple of cooler, more comfortable days across the state Sunday & Monday, the heat and humidity will return on Tuesday with highs approaching 90F across the southern and western part of the state. Dewpoints will also warm into the 60s & low 70s across much of the state, which will make it feel quite sticky once again.
Despite there being more clouds across the region, the UV Index will still be considered HIGH on Tuesday, which means that it will only 20 to 30 minutes or less to burn unprotected skin. With that said, if you are planning on spending any extended length of time outside, make sure you wear appropriate attire and lather on the sun block!
Weather Outlook For Wednesday
A cold front will continue to push south of the region on Wednesday with scattered showers and storms drifting southeast along with it Cool and somewhat less humid air will begin settle south behind the front, which will be a little more evident later Wednesday and certainly into Thursday.
UV Index for Wednesday - VERY HIGH
As scattered showers and storms sag south through the region during the day, areas of sun will begin to pop out later. With that said, the UV Index for Wednesday is expected to be HIGH once again, which means that your skin could burn in 15 to 20 minutes or less!
Minneapolis Temperature Outlook
Here's the temperature outlook through August 8th, which shows temperatures hovering in the 80s through the rest of the month and into the early part of August. Keep in mind that the average high in the Twin Cities through August 8th is 82F, so we should be pretty close to average.
According to NOAA's CPC, the extended temperature outlook from August 2nd to August 5th suggests cooler than average temperatures moving into much the Upper Midwest as we head into the early part of August.
Extended Temperature Outlook
According to NOAA's CPC, the extended temperature outlook through August 6th shows that a large chunk of the Central US will be dealing with cooler than normal temperatures, while the western part of the country will still be above average.
Extended Temperature Outlook
Here's the extended 850mb temperature anomaly loop into early next. This describes how warm or cold (from average) mid/low level temperatures will be over time. Note that the warmer oranges and reds will begin to settle in along the northern tier of the nation through the end of the month/early August, but there some cooler than average temps settling in across the Central US as well.
Weather Outlook Ahead
The weather outlook over the next couple of days shows stormy weather continuing across parts of the Eastern US and the Desert Southwest, but another round of strong to severe storms with locally heavy rainfall will also move in across the Upper Midwest through midweek.
5 Day Precipitation Outlook
According to NOAA's WPC, the next several days could produce areas of locally heavy rainfall across many areas from the Desert Southwest to the Midwest and eastern half of the country. Some of the heaviest rainfall could add up to as much as 1" to 3"+, which could also lead to areas of localized flooding.
"As The Climate Changes, Kenyan Herders Find Centuries-Old Way Of Life In Danger"
"Out here, in West Pokot County, Kenya, the landscape looks like Mars — red clay, rocks, and in the distance, a mountain so bare it looks like a giant boulder. Stephen Long'uriareng, 80, has walked two hours to bring her two cows and goats to this watering hole. It's really just a dam carved out the earth, where the rain water mixes with mud and turns into a dark brown color. This is not the place Long'uriareng remembers from her youth. "This whole place used to be green with a lot of pasture. There was nothing being experienced like drought," she said."

"This mayor is leaving politics to fight climate change full-time"
"Like many communities skirting the U.S. coastline, Hoboken, New Jersey, wasn't built on solid ground. Many of its charming brick buildings, historic piers, and apartment towers stand atop what was once a low-lying tidal marsh — a grassy, muddy buffer along the Hudson River, designed by nature to absorb high tides and storm surge like a sponge. Early developers drained the marshlands in the 1800s to make way for modern Hoboken: the birthplace of singer Frank Sinatra, the location of TLC's Cake Boss, and home to 53,000 people packed within the 1.25-square-mile city limit. Across the river, Manhattan's glassy skyscrapers sparkle in the summer sunlight."

"A super-simple strategy may be key to fighting climate change"
"A key strategy in the fight against climate change is slowing the rapid destruction of the world's forests. When trees burn or decompose, they release carbon. About 10 percent of the greenhouse gases emitted every year are from this newly freed carbon rising into the atmosphere. In recent years, developed countries have committed billions of dollars to help developing countries prevent deforestation. Some of the funds have been used to pay landowners not to cut down their trees. Part of the goal is to give landowners income that isn't dependent on clearing land for agriculture or selling timber to meet big expenses."

"How does climate change impact you?"
"Most people in Idaho believe climate change will not impact them. They think polar bears may be in trouble, or that people that live along the coast may have problems, but they don't think it will cause problems in Idaho anytime soon. In reality, climate change is already impacting most of us in one way or another. Anyone who buys insurance is seeing the cost increase. More storms, more fires, more floods; about 5 times more severe weather events than we had 50 years ago. This means higher insurance premiums. Federal agencies are having to cut back on road maintenance, campground maintenance and nearly everything else because they are spending nearly half of their budget fighting fires. City, county, and state governments are having to increase taxes and/or reduce services with the added costs from severe storms."

"U.K. Braced for Record-Breaking Wet Winters Blames Climate Shift"
"Britain faces a future of record-breaking wet winters, potentially leading to more of the widespread flooding seen in recent years, according to new modeling that incorporates changing climate patterns. England and Wales now have a 34 percent chance of record rainfall between October and March, the study by the government's Met Office said on Monday. In 2013, heavy rain deluged parts of Cornwall and the south east. That was followed by three named storms that flooded some of Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire in December 2015, while Storm Angus battered parts of Britain last November."
"North Korea experiencing worst drought in 16 years, UN agency reports"
"North Korea is experiencing its worst drought since 2001, prompting officials to fear an increase in food shortage in the communist country that has suffered serious famine for years, a report by a United Nations agency revealed. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization released the report on Thursday that detailed a prolonged dry period in North Korea from April to June, an important time for crop development. It's production of staple crops such as rice, corn, potatoes and soybeans has been damaged, "threatening food security for a large part of its population," the agency said."

I haven't had time to do anything but work on the house and do errands (I will blog on this 'errands' thing soon). It's getting quite stressful and I feel bad for my uncle and cousin. The weather is also refuses to cooperate. My final say to you folks is never paint your own house. Pay someone. That way, if they do a shitty job, they fix it, there is no stress, you don't get your clothes dirty, and no extra cost on your own behalf.
Some things I'd like to point out
– My house is so damn blue that it can mock the sky
– I've spent way too much money out my own pocket for this project and I WILL be reimbursed
– Paint doesn't taste too good
– Lowe's has the WORST customer service; I felt like I was playing a game of tag and I was "it"
– My neighbors are all nosy beeyotches that need to stay out of my business and out of my yard
– Along with that, the neighbors only come to visit in the most inconvenient/busy time possible
– I've decided that my mother has no sense of a color theme
– The bruises I got on my legs before this project came at the worst time
– Back and forth driving takes the fun out of driving…and its a huge waste of gas

When professional and amateur magicians get together to practice new tricks and give each other feedback, they call it an "IGOM:" an Informal Gathering of Magicians. If you're lucky enough to go to one, you'll see them perform some of the most technically sophisticated and difficult tricks in their repertoire, requiring exotic devices or blistering sleights of hand. Even if you've watched every episode of Breaking the Magician's Code, you'll still find yourself saying, "How'd she do that?"
These tricks are almost never performed for the public. Why? They're too difficult. There's too much chance of something going wrong. And most importantly, the general public won't appreciate the artistry of the trick. "Laypeople," as magicians call them, don't have enough knowledge of the craft to recognize the skill that they're seeing. Instead, most magicians perform the bullet-proof tricks that they've done a thousand times already. The linking rings may raise gasps of awe from laypeople, but if someone pulls them out at an IGOM, they'll get groans and eyerolls. At IGOMs, there's a saying: "magic for magicians." IGOMs are a chance to test your skill among sophisticated professionals who will appreciate the talent behind it. IGOMs are tacit permission to show off how good you are.
There are IGOMs in every industry. Visual practitioners have Facebook, Instagram, and the IFVP conference. Who hasn't looked at someone else's work online and thought, "How'd she do that?" The answer is the same for both magicians and visual practitioners: talent and years of practice. And on Facebook, visual practitioners are posting their best work to share with other visual practitioners. They're posting magic for magicians.
Visual practitioners working on teams compare work, learn from each other, and adopt each other's methods. That's the strength of being on a team: seeing fresh examples, getting ideas, and receiving rapid feedback on your own attempts. I'm trying hard to pick up lettering from Heather Martinez and comic book layouts from Trent Wakenight. The push to get better is a powerful, healthy motivator.
At the same time, it's important to remember that, for the participants, it's all magic. Last week, I watched a (non-visual) facilitator do the old "rotate your finger above your head, now move your hand down to your waist, and see how it changed directions" thingy. I may have groaned (internally), but it generated gasps of awe from an audience of several hundred participants. Most people have never seen what we do before. You don't have to be David Copperfield or David Sibbet to achieve breakthroughs with your participants. Don't let the push to get better stop you from pulling out your linking rings*.
*My own "linking rings" is the Grove's Graphic Gameplan. You can facilitate just about any conversation on that sucker. It's bullet-proof, and it never fails to help groups achieve breakthrough.

This is Part 2 of a series. Please click here for Part 1 or here for Part 3.
Okay, America, please brace yourself. It's going to seem like a lot, I know, but I hope you'll bear with me. Please stay with me. Our children need you to see. There are too many of them suffering. Too many families suffering alongside them. Please listen.
I've learned that many of the things that we trust are the very things that could be hurting our children. We trust our dentists when they tell us amalgam (silver fillings) are safe. We trust the doctors when they tell us vaccines are safe. And yet, I've learned that heavy metals can have devastating effects on the body, causing all sorts of illnesses and disease. Heavy metals, such as mercury, aluminum, nickel, and lead are found in our children's mouths, in their bloodstreams, and in their bodies via deodorants, cookware, and food packaging.
It frightens me, America.
Tell me this. Why is it that when a dentist removes a silver filling, he must take special precautions to dispose of the mercury carefully in order to protect the environment? The tiniest of pieces can render a lake toxic. And yet, in our mouths, in our children's mouths, we're told over and over again that mercury is safe. They call it "stable." How can this be? And what if it's not? What if what the researchers are saying is true? What if toxic fumes are released into the body all day and night, crossing the blood-brain barrier and leading to brain fog and an inability to focus? What if it crosses the placenta and goes into our babies' bodies before they are even born? What if it is, in fact, found in a mother's breastmilk if she has silver fillings? Could this be why so many of our children are sick?
What about the mercury in vaccines? Is there still mercury in vaccines? Your doctors often say no, but when I looked at the inserts, I found that it is still listed as an ingredient in some vaccines. They say it is found in "trace amounts," so it is safe. But how many "trace amounts" does it take before it is no longer "trace?" Or safe? Does anyone know?
And then, America, I found out something else. When manufacturers removed the mercury from most of the vaccines, they replaced it with aluminum. Aluminum! Is aluminum any safer? What would the EPA say? And why does this Pubmed study say that aluminum can induce the production of IgE antibodies, which is what can ultimately lead to allergies?! Could this be why so many of our children have allergies now? And what happens when children are injected over and over and over again? Do you know?
I really don't know what to make of all this, America. These are our children. Our babies. Our newborns. As parents, we are doing our very best to protect them each and every day. We will do whatever it takes for them to be healthy. Whatever it takes. Could you be hurting them unknowingly? The very thought of that breaks my heart.
And then there are the foods. Oh, America, why did you allow them to change the labels? There are now over 70,000 chemicals that have been approved by the FDA as safe or generally safe to eat. In the past, much of this would have been called "imitation foods," and maybe we would have known to avoid them. But now, it's just called food, and we trust it as safe because you tell us it's safe. Artificial preservatives, dyes, neurotoxins like MSG, and now even GMO's have found their way into the majority of our processed foods, even in infant formula!
Did you know that genetically modified corn is made using e.coli and other bacteria, which is needed to penetrate cell walls? Or that the corn itself, modified to create its own pesticide BT, is registered as a pesticide by the EPA (Bt Corn EPA Reg. #524-581 & #68467-7)? BT makes the stomachs of insects explode. What is it doing to our babies when they drink it in their formula? What is it doing to our children? Us?
Country after country has banned or required the labeling of genetically modified foods, and yet, our companies refuse to do so. Why, America? What is it that they're hiding? What are they doing to your people? And why have you allowed this? Why have you allowed us to stay in the dark about it all? Or is it that we've allowed it? Have we been too busy to pay attention?
And then, there are the chemicals in our cosmetics, sunscreens, creams, and all of the other lotions we slather all over our little ones and ourselves. We don't think twice before buying the latest name brands, sometimes paying large amounts to give our children the very best. Why is it that so many of them are labeled as hazardous to our health by the EWG and yet, no one has told us? Where are the news reports on this? Where are the news stories?
There are chemicals that we inhale day and night in our homes found in cleaners, polishes, paints, and even toys. There are chemicals we spray in our yards, homes and stores, meant to kill bugs and weeds. You keep telling us all of these chemicals are safe. Not to worry. But yet, the bottles are filled with warning labels, and independent researchers are saying they cause cancer. Allergies. Asthma. Autism.
Who is telling the truth? Are we seeking answers? And if not, what will it take before we do?
How many more children will have to get sick? How many more children will have to suffer? How many more families will be torn apart?
I know, I know. Not all children are sick. But a lot of them are, and sadly, it's often only a matter of time.
A doctor once gave me a wonderful metaphor to help me better understand why so many of our people were developing chronic illnesses at an alarming rate. He said that each of us is like a rain barrel. (Picture one with a lid on top.) Every time we come in contact with a toxin, it drips into our rain barrel, a little bit (or a lot) at a time. The rain barrel begins to fill, and when it gets full, we often get sick, which helps us "vent" off steam and release some of the toxins. As long as we are healthy and well-nourished, we can continue to vent off the toxins and push them out of our barrels.
Over time, however, after repeated exposure, the toxins often become too much for the body to handle, and our rain barrels begin to leak or spill out. When this happens, we find ourselves with a chronic illness of some sort, one that doesn't seem to go away . . . one that the experts tell us doesn't have a cure.
Some of us have larger rain barrels, depending on how well-nourished we are and how well we can detoxify. Others, such as those with a genetic mutation called MTHFR or those who do not have access to nourishing foods, have smaller rain barrels because they are not able to get rid of the toxins as quickly. Their systems get overloaded more quickly, and their health begins to deteriorate at a much faster pace.
Our children's rain barrels are so small, America. Our babies' rain barrels are tiny compared to the onslaught of chemicals that we are exposing them to each and every day. Do they even stand a chance?
Can you help them, America? Will you help our children? Can we get back to your spacious skies and amber waves of grain . . . without the chemicals?
Or have we gone too far?
I hope not. I hope we can start the changes, one mom at a time. One dad at a time. One grandparent at a time.
Your people were once courageous, brave enough to defy the odds and risk their lives for their convictions. I believe we still have that bravery in us today. It's in our blood.
It may be clouded with lies and misinformation. It may be clouded with distractions and busyness. But it's there. And when your people know truth, they will stand and raise you up once again as the beautiful country that you are. They will give you strength, and you them.
It will be one change at a time. One family at a time. One community at a time. But I believe it is possible.
All we need to do is unite . . . and purify. (Click here for Part 3.)
In full disclosure, I am not a doctor. The information I share is my opinion, based on research, including books, medical journals, government websites, interviews with doctors and healthcare practitioners, and classes held by doctors. Please see my full disclosure at the bottom of the page.

The Future of Freelance: Creating Independently, Together
The Future of Freelance: Creating Independently, Together
Many creatives daydream of being self-employed, of having the freedom and flexibility to work on projects that inspire and empower, without having our creativity restricted by traditional brick-and-mortar office structures and environments. Some of us might have figured out the best way to navigate this challenging journey, while some of us might just be starting out.
For it is a challenging journey. Even a lonely one, at times. But you don't have to do it all on your own!
There is a burgeoning community of independent creatives in our midst. Research shows that freelancers will make up 40% of the American workforce by 2020, a trend expected to have a ripple effect globally (source: Intuit 2020 Report, published October 2010). While some might view this as increased competition, I personally see immense potential for synergistic collaborations. In the words of Halford E. Luccock, "No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it."
The challenge, therefore, lies in finding partners of synergy to collaborate with. Whether it's finding your audience, who appreciate your creative instincts and value your insights; or finding creators who will realize your vision and breathe life into your dream.
I envision a future where we're able to devote ourselves to our individual creative pursuits, enriching our world by bringing to life artistic, cultural and innovative visions, but doing so with the support of a larger collective.
A future of creating independently, together.
kulturspace, your community-driven cultural hub and freelancers' co-operative, is here to bridge the gap. To support you, and connect you with synergistic partners to share your creative journey with.
Shaping the Future of Work
Our freelancers' cooperative, the KS Creative Bureau, turns projects from ideas into reality. Our global collective, armed with versatile experience and skills from the arts to service design and from marketing to management, is ready to work their magic on your inspiring projects.

Work for Yourself, Not By Yourself
We have a global project management team in place to provide unique support services to creative individuals and institutions such as independent curators, artists, freelancers, designers and more, within a collaborative environment.
Drop us a line for more details on how we can help you.
Connect. Collaborate. Create.
