ETA: Sorry about the repostings..I decided to delete some of the content (post got to be too long).

NaBloPoMo
After stating in my last post that I wouldn't participate, I've thought about it and decided to give NaBloPoMo a try! Here's the link to read all about it, but in a nutshell, the goal is to post to your blog everyday during the month of November. Any other takers??!!

Your Help Needed
The Ely-Bloomenson hospital in my beloved cabin town of Ely, MN is in a contest to win an MRI system. The video on the site(scroll down their side bar until you see the one for Ely-Bloomenson) was meant to be a spoof but the need is serious.

Excerpts from article written by Angie Riebe:
S i e m e n s Medical Solutions, a medical supply company, is giving away one magnetic resonance imaging unit to one hospital in the country. To qualify, a hospital must have 180 or fewer staffed beds and no in-house MRI system. The Ely hospital has just 25 beds and only a mobile MRI unit that is available every Tuesday

Hospitals were asked to submit a two-minute video explaining why each facility was in need of the unit. Videos can be viewed by logging on www.winanmri.com/, and votes will be taken through Dec. 31. People may vote once a day from each computer.

Please help! Vote!!

Speaking of Ely, check out their temps as of 9 a.m. compared to mine-brrrr!
