Chest surgery is the most demanding field in medicine.
Chest surgery is the most difficult and dangerous type of surgery to perform but it is regrettably shunned by the medical community.
Chest surgeons are bombarded daily with emergency calls to operate on patients. Not only are chest surgeons at a higher risk of losing a patient on the operating table but the life-saving open heart surgery they perform for hours with a team of doctors costs the same as a simple 30-minute eye-slit operation performed by a single plastic surgeon.
Since it is nearly impossible for a chest surgeon to open his own private practice, less and less medical students are applying to become chest surgeons, causing the shutdown of entire chest surgery departments at general hospitals. Even general hospitals that are affiliated with prestigious medical schools suffer shortages of new chest surgeons. Chest surgery has become a field that is avoided by young doctors looking for a less stressful career.
Because of this deteriorating situation, patients might have to go abroad in the near future if they need heart or lung surgery. But even in these difficult situations, a few young doctors are blazing new trails. Oblivious to the falling status of their profession and worsening circumstances, they swear by the Oath of Hippocrates and save precious lives. is a medical drama that will depict the lives of chest surgeons as close to reality as possible.
Their tears... Their joy... Their troubles... All of this and more will be intertwined in an engaging, heartwarming story. The courage they display will make you realize how precious a life is...
We would like to thank them for showing us that we are not alone in this world. They are the one who make a difference in our lives.
Lee Eun-seong | actor Ji-seong
A young doctor who graduated from a small town medical school. He took the high school equivalency exam and then made his way to medical school. (He was a low-achieving student in high school) He grew up in an all-boys orphanage and tries to hide this past. With a single-minded pursuit to become a doctor, he applied to the chest surgery department of a general hospital affiliated with a prestigious medical school after learning that there was a shortage of applicants. Doctor Choi Kang-guk deems him as a dunce but Eun-seong is unfazed as he tries to become a skilled doctor. Through hard work, deft hand coordination, and a heart full of compassion, he later gains the respect of Doctor Choi. He even joins a teddy bear-making club to improve his hand coordination where he ends up making several teddy bears. (He gets along with the ladies in the club) He favors a Swiss knife that he uses during surgery and sewing teddy bears. When he has free time, he improves his image recognition skills by looking over the shoulders of the experienced doctors.
Nam Hye-seok | actress Kim Min-jeong
She scored a perfect score in the KSAT and entered medical school at the top of her class. She graduated from medical school with the highest honors and even though she was the most skilled doctor among her peers, she chose to become a chest surgeon, causing another sensation. When Professor Choi Kang-guk tells her that he cannot accept her because they do not have separate sleeping quarters for female doctors, she rails again gender inequality and threatens to file a complaint to the human rights organization. With strong principles, she will declare a patient dead if they do not respond to resuscitation efforts after 30 minutes. When she diagnoses a patient as having cancer, she'll immediately tell them they have cancer without any hesitation. Her mother is Park Joon-hee, a famous hanbok designer. Her actual father is the chairman of Hansung Textiles but since he was marred to another woman, her uncle adopted her. So in her family register, she is stated as being her mother's niece. She has strict morals and will pass over burn victims to other doctors if they had affairs at hotels before it caught on fire.
Choi Kang-guk | actor Jo Jae-hyeon
He considers himself to be one of the best chest surgeons in the nation but laments the fact that hardly anyone applies to the chest surgery department while the few applicants they do receive are low-achievers. He is disturbed that his department is becoming stocked with doctors who graduated at the bottom of their class. In a conversation with his colleagues from the plastic surgery and ophthalmology department, his pride is bruised when he is chided for being picky about the applicants. They tell him he should actually be thankful that anyone would want to apply to the chest surgery department. After having this conversation, he deliberately rejects Lee Eun-seong, a young doctor who graduated from a small town medical school, and Nam Hye-seok, the most promising intern at the hospital who scored a perfect score on the KSAT. He will forge documents to lower the medical bills for patients who are poor and give tips on how to sneak out of the hospital without getting detected to patients who do not have any medical insurance. He is always busy with his work and medical research and thus, he hardly has any time to spend with his family. He is glad that his wife is not clamoring for a divorce.
Lee Dong-gwon | actor Lee Ji-hoon
While shooting a scene for a TV series on location at the hospital he develops an irregular heartbeat and receives an R.F surgical procedure from Nam Hye-seok. He learns that Nam Hye-seok was an old elementary school friend but he finds it awkward to be around her. He follows the doctor's orders to rest and stays as long as he can at the hospital where he tries to rekindle his friendship with Nam Hye-seok and take it one step further. But his relationship with Nam Hye-seok hits the gossip columns and entertainment news.
Dr. Choi Kang-guk sends a heart patient to Seoul for heart surgery and resigns
himself to his experiments with animals where he perfects heart transplants
techniques by using live pigs. The new hospital director Park Jae-hyun tries
dissuade Hye-seok from joining the chest surgery department but Hye-seok is
determined to become a heart surgeon. While fishing at a pier, Dr. Choi gets
into a
fistfight with some rowdy, drunken men and suffers a gash on his forehead. He
taken to an emergency room where Eun-seong treats him.
When Dr. Choi sees the X-Ray results of one patient, he immediately recognizes
the patient is in serious danger and he swipes Eun-seong's stethoscope to listen
the patient's heartbeat. After administering a life-saving procedure on the
patient, Dr.
Choi reluctantly tells Eun-seong that the patient should be taken to Seoul for
surgery. Eun-seong finds out that Dr. Choi is one of the top heart surgeons
Korea. Eun-seong is surprised to hear that Dr. Choi's emergency procedure saved
the patient's life. Eun-seong's resolve to become a heart surgeon is reinforced
through the chance meeting with Dr. Choi. Hospital director Park meets with
Dr. Choi
and offers him the head position of the chest surgery department.
After interviewing Eun-seong and Hye-seok, Dr. Choi decides not to choose either
one of them to join the chest surgery department. Eun-seong, Hye-seok and all
other doctors are surprised when they hear Dr. Choi's decision. Hye-seok hounds
Dr. Choi, asking him to explain why he rejected her. Dr. Choi tells her that
she lacks
compassion towards patients and that that is her greatest weakness as a doctor.
Hye-seok feels dejected and cries. Eun-seong, who was following Hye-seok,
closes the door to the stairways where Hye-seok is crying to give her a private
Dr. Bae Dae-ro gets furious when he hears from Dr. Lee Seung-jae that Dr. Choi
decided not to hire any interns so he tells everyone that he has had enough
and will
quit. He takes two other interns with him. Dr. Choi finds something wrong with
patient named Kim Pil-joo. The hospital director barges into the operating room
where Dr. Choi is operating on a patient and sternly warns him to fix things
interns abruptly left their stations to show their displeasure over Dr. Choi's
to reject two qualified intern candidates. Eun-seong demonstrates alone in front
the hospital to protest Dr. Choi's decision while Hye-seok and her elite medical
school classmates demonstrate as a group.
After waiting for Hye-seok to make up her mind, Dr. Choi decides to leave with
Eun-
seong. Facing Dr. Kim Jung-gil, Hye-seok has a troubled expression on her face.
Hye-seok is overcome with mixed emotions when she hears from Dr. Kim Jung-gil
that it was the hospital director's idea to have her join the John Hobkins Hospital
medical staff for two years. Then she remembers what Eun-seong told her and
up to leave. Hye-seok goes to see Dr. Choi and asks him to give her another
chance. She promises to him that she'll do her best as an intern at the chest
surgery department and Dr. Choi accepts her.
A curtain is newly installed in the sleeping quarters at the hospital for Hye-seok's
sake. Seung-jae gives Eun-seong and Hye-seok used gowns to wear. Wearing
doctor gowns, Eun-seong and Hye-seok begin their career as 3rd-year interns.
Eun-seong tells Kim Pil-joo that he is glad that he survived to become his first
patient but Mr. Kim is not very happy....
Dr. Kim Tae-joon tells Dr. Choi that Eun-seong is not capable of handling his
as an intern and requests that Eun-seong undergo a second review. When Kim
Young-hee takes a look at a CT scan of a gang member, she diagnoses the patient
as having arteriovenous fistula, which surprises Hye-seok. Eun-seong enters
operating room to watch an ongoing operation but Dr. Kim Tae-joon curtly orders
to leave because he's not qualified as a doctor. Hye-seok is troubled that she
overlooked the patient's condition when she was the first person who detected
While shooting a scene for a TV drama, actor Dong-gwon collapses on the set
is taken to the hospital. He is happy to see Hye-seok when he opens his eyes.
Choi and his fellow colleagues explain the procedure they will use to treat
Dong-
gwon and Dong-gwon blurts out that Hye-seok is his girlfriend to the surprise
everyone in the room. Dr. Choi Kang-guk decides to have Min Young-gyu and Kim
Jung-gil perform the operation while he will observe it.
Hye-seok is in a daze when she sees Dong-gwon surrounded by young fans. Eun-
seong offers coffee with milk to Hye-seok, telling her that it's a perfect drink
when you're feeling depressed. As Min Young-gyu is about to begin the operation,
he is told that the patient's liver is showing problems and he is ordered to
call off the
surgery. Dr. Choi tells Min Young-gyu that the patient's life depends on his
and then asks him if he can save the patient. Observing the heated exchange,
seong and Hye-seok are touched by Dr. Choi's passion to save a patient's life.
Eun-seong asks Hye-seok to give a teddy bear wearing a basketball uniform to
Pil-joo on the day he will be discharged from the hospital. A friendly basketball
game between the interns of Gwanghee General Hospital and celebrities takes
place and Hye-seok finds it odd that Eun-seong is all smiles even though their
is losing. After finishing a photo shoot with actress Han Soo-jin at Hye-seok's
mother's hanbok shop, Dong-gwon decides to go to the intern admissions ceremony
where Eun-seong and Hye-seok will officially become interns.
Han Soo-jin slips out of the hospital to shoot a commercial but she collapse
set. Dong-gwon, who was at the set with her, takes Han Soo-jin to the hospital.
After secretly mastering a new robot-assisted surgical procedure, Kim Tae-joon
asks Seol Lae-hyeon and Cho Min-ah over dinner for their support to become the
best medical team in the country. When Dr. Choi and the other doctors of the
surgery department gather around to see a recent group photo of themselves in
alumni newsletter of Gwanghee University Medical School, Eun-seong feels left
and leaves the room. He comforts himself by shooting hoops in the empty gymnasium.
Eun-seong warmly hugs Soo-min on the day she will be discharged from the
hospital and gives her words of encouragement, which leaves a strong impression
on Hye-seok when she sees Eun-seong's compassion. Hearing that Dr. Min Young-
gyu refused to operate on actress Han Soo-jin because her diseased area is very
large, Eun-seong suggests that Kim Tae-joon can perform the surgery by using
Da Vinci robot. Dr. Choi approves of using Da Vinci. After eating the mugwort
that Eun-seong prepared for her, actress Han Soo-jin is touched and she decides
to proceed with the innovative surgery. Kim Tae-joon uses Da Vinci to successfully
cure Han Soo-jin.
When Dr. Choi leaves the room to tend to an emergency patient who needs surgery,
Song Ho-jae gets furious and grabs Eun-seong's collar and begins to hit him
he is told to calm down. Dr. Kim Jung-gil visits Song Ho-jae and suggests that
instead of getting heart surgery, he could have a simple surgery at his internal
surgery department. Song Ho-jae promptly calls the hospital director. Song Ho-jae's
personal aide gives Eun-seong an envelope full of money and when Hye-seok sees
this, she tries to return it. But Eun-seong accepts the money and donates it
to an
orphanage.
Dong-gwon sends a bouquet of flowers to Hye-seok but she decides to throws
out. Dr. Bae Dae-ro asks if he can have the bouquet, which he gives to one of
young interns called Mimi. Hye-seok heads to the OBY/GYN department when she
is told that a pregnant woman is hemorrhaging. Dr. Choi is also there and he
they need to revive the woman's heart first. While Dr. Choi is operating on
patient, Eun-seong tells him that Song Ho-jae's blood vessel collapsed. Dr.
operates on Song Ho-jae after having him moved to the chest surgery department.
Eun-seong carefully wraps bandages around Hye-seok's blistered hands. Hye-
seok is thankful that Eun-seong did that for her. As they ride on a scooter
Seoul, Hye-seok hugs Eun-seong tightly and leans her face on his back. Dr. Choi
bows deeply to Song Ho-jae and apologizes for putting his life at risk. Eun-seong
surprised that Dr. Choi would apologize to a patient over such a matter.
Knowing that Eun-seong came to give her a ride to work even though it is his
off, Hye-seok tries to thank him but can't get the words out of her mouth. Suddenly
street sweeper collapses in the street right in front of them. Eun-seong and
Hye-
seok drink a cup of coffee inside a tent they erected next to the Han River.
Hye-seok
tells Eun-seong that she wanted to say thank you to him before the end of the
Dr. Choi operates on a patient whom Kim Tae-joon rejected but then the patient's
condition gets worse after the operation. When the hospital director hears about
he sternly warns Dr. Choi not to proceed with dangerous operations.
When the hospital director tells Dr. Choi not to operate on the janitor, he disobeys
him and heads to the operating room to save the man. So Dr. Lee Seung-jae follows
Dr. Choi and tries to dissuade him but to no avail. During an operation, Min Young-gyu
leaves the delicate valve procedure to Kim Tae-joon who has no choice but to follow
orders. Dr. Choi asks Eun-seong to have the janitor sign papers of consent for
open heart surgery and offers a special bonus if he gets it done. The janitor
finds the will to live.
While operating on the man, Dr. Choi finds it difficult to proceed so he takes
a break to use the bathroom. Eun-seong suggests that they take the man's heart
out, operate on it, and then put it back in. Dr. Bae Dae-ro laughs in a mocking
tone. The hospital director directly calls the operating room, telling Dr. Choi
to cease the operation, but Dr. Choi proceeds with the surgery. When Dr. Choi
tells everyone that he'll suture a vein from the patient's leg onto to the heart,
everyone looks at Eun-seong in surprise. Dr. Lee Seung-jae and Hye-sook operate
on a rapist who suffered a knife wound and blood spurts on them. Eun-seong tells
them that he thinks the rapist has AIDS and everyone starts to worry.
After kissing Hye-seok on the lips, Eun-seong turns around and sees Dong-gwon
looking at him. Dong-gwon leaves after witnessing their kiss. Hye-seok tells
Eun-seong not to be bothered about Dong-gwon and holds him back but Eun-seong
catches up with Dong-gwon and tells him that what he saw wasn't what he thinks
it is and then reveals that Hye-seok might have contracted AIDS. During an internal
conference, Kim Young-hee asks how Dr. Choi was able to successfully operate
on the janitor when Dr. Choi Chung-won failed. Dr. Choi answers that he was
able to pull it off thanks to the anesthesiologist.
The son of the janitor creates a big commotion at the hospital and demands that
Dr. Choi make his father speak again and compensate his dad's lost wages. Dr.
Choi diagnoses an old lady who is brought to the hospital on a stretcher and
then tells Nurse Cho Bok-gil and the physicians to look after her. The old lady
begins to gasp for air and her blood pressure starts to fall. But Bok-gil quickly
spots the problem and brings her pulse back to normal. After seeing Hye-seok's
haggard face, Dr. Choi tells her to go home and get some rest. He also tells
Eun-seong to take Hye-seok home. Hye-seok asks Eun-seong to take her on a drive.
When Dr. Choi is notified that the son of the janitor is suing him for malpractice,
he calmly dismisses the notice and makes his rounds around the patient rooms.
Dr. Bae Dae-ro tells Dr. Lee Seung-jae and Nurse Cho Bok-gil about the malpractice
suit. Dr. Choi enters the operating room where Kim Tae-joon is performing surgery
and this flusters Kim. When Dr. Choi offers to help him with the surgery, Kim
Tae-joon gets upset. While ice-skating with Dong-gwon, Hye-seok falls down and
the PDA in her back pocket gets broken. At the repair shop, Hye-seok asks the
service repairmen to fix her PDA at any costs because it contains important
When Eun-seong tells Hye-seok that the rapist who spurted blood several days
ago does not have AIDS, she feels much better and cries tears of joy. At the
hospital, Hye-seok searches for Eun-seong everywhere in a rush. She says high
to Eun-seong, who is having a drink with Dr. Bae Dae-ro, in a merry voice. After
finishing a practice surgery, Min Young-gyu tells Eun-seong that he would make
a good member on his team and tells him to join him in his next operation. When
a rowdy patient gives Hye-seok a hard time, Eun-seong intervenes and gets punched
in the face.
Dr. Choi enters the operating room with a tense expression and pushes away Min
Young-gyu who tells him not to interrupt him. But the old lady on the operating
table is already dead. Dr. Choi tells the son of the old lady that he should
have done everything he could to save his mother's life and says sorry before
he starts to cry. Upon returning home, Dr. Choi receives a threatening phone
call from the son of the janitor while his wife tells him she's going to leave
for America with the kids.
The hospital director tells Min Young-gyu to submit his resignation. Min Young-gyu
goes to see Dr. Choi and asks him to vouch for him so that he can hold on to
his job. Upon overhearing the conversation between the vice director and Dr.
Choi, Hye-seok tells Dr. Choi that Eun-seong got hit while trying to protect
her. Entering the patient's room, Hye-seok feels uncomfortable when she sees
Eun-seong look at Mimi with such tenderness. Kim Tae-joon's paper is published
in a prestigious medical journal and Hye-seok is fascinated that her name is
included as one of the co-authors of the paper.
When Hye-seok asks Eun-seong why she can't be his girlfriend, Eun-seong tells
her that it's because she's too special for him. Dr. Choi tells everyone that
they need to find the best treatment for a particular patient and assigns Dr.
Kim Jung-gil of the chest surgery department to handle the patient's case. At
a pig's feet restaurant, Dr. Choi has a drink with Dr. Lee Seung-jae and Kim
Young-hee and expresses his sorrow over losing the old lady on the operating
table. When Dr. Choi meets Eun-seong in front of the hospital, he tells him
to be a warmhearted doctor first and foremost and ignore people who call him
an imbecile. Dr. Choi bumps into a cop and it leads to a shoving match. When
the cops check his criminal record, they learn that Dr. Choi missed a court
order summons and they keep him at the precinct to interrogate him.
After being released from the hospital, Dr. Choi tells Dr. Lee Seung-jae that
he's only guilty of saving a person's life. When Hye-seok asks Dr. Choi when
he'll be ready for the next operation, the doctor tells her to have Min Young-gyu
and Kim Tae-joon handle the next operation instead. This shocks Eun-seong. Eun-seong
gets dismayed with Dr. Choi when he sees him drinking all day at the lab. When
Eun-seong is harshly scolded by Kim Tae-joon over a matter that was caused by
Mimi, Eun-seong decides to call it quits and starts packing his things.
Dr. Choi informs Dr. Lee Seung-jae and Kim Young-hee that he's thinking about
bringing Ha Tae-jin to head their department. But they object because Ha Tae-jin
is not a graduate of Gwanghee University's Medical School. Kim Tae-joon hears
about Dr. Choi's choice through the hospital director and brimming with confidence,
he proposes that the department hold an open hiring process. Kim Young-hee tells
Dr. Choi that the department is leaning towards Kim Tae-joon's side and that
Kim Tae-joon is cherry picking the easy operations.
In a tired, weary state, Hye-seok drags herself to the sleeping quarters and
recollects the good times she had with Eun-seong. Jae-seob kicks Eun-seong out
of his flat so Eun-seong decides to stay at a friend's gold course for one night.
While lying down on the grass, he looks at the stars in the skies and calls
out Eun-seong's name. The former British prime minister suddenly clutches his
heart at the same golf course where Eun-seong is staying and collapses. Eun-seong
delivers emergency treatment to the ex-prime minister and boards the helicopter
that takes them to Gwanghee University Hospital.
The aide to the former British prime minister tells the hospital director that
he'd like Dr. Choi and his team of heart surgeons to handle the operation. The
hospital director promises that the ex-prime minister will be able to fully
recuperate from the surgery within a week.. The hospital director and Kim Jung-gil
plead with Dr. Choi to perform the operation but he tells them that he's sick
and tired of patients and recommends Ha Tae-jin. Worried about the health of
the janitor, Dr. Choi heads to the house of his former patient where he happens
to meet Eun-seong.
Hye-seok goes to the Hope Orphanage to find Eun-seong but doesn't find him there.
At the orphanage, Sister Song tells her why Eun-seong decided to become a doctor.
After Hye-seok sincerely pleads with Eun-seong to come back, Eun-seong returns
to the hospital where he gets down on his knees, asking the doctors to forgive
him. When the ex-prime minister's aide learns that Dr. Choi took a leave of
absence, he decides to have the ex-prime minister operated in England but on
their way to the airport, the ex-prime minister's condition worsens and they
have no choice but to turn back to the hospital. Dr. Bae Dae-ro, Eun-seong,
Hye-seok, and Lee In-ho visit Dr. Choi and plead with him to return once more.
After consulting with Ha Tae-jin on a case that Kim Tae-joon and Min Young-gyu
wanted to toss to the brain surgery department, Ha Tae-jin tells Dr. Choi that
he will lower the body temperature of the patient during the operation. Eun-seong
and Hye-seok assist Ha Tae-jin during the surgery and they are amazed to see
how he makes incisions without making the patient bleed. Dr. Choi gets tears
in his eyes when his daughter in America tells him that she saw his face on
the cover of an American news magazine.
The son of the janitor meets with the hospital director to inform him that he'll
drop the lawsuit against Dr. Choi. Then the hospital director asks Dr. Choi
to sign a statement that he will never perform risky operations again. The five-member
resident staff, Eun-seong, and Hye-seok prepare a special event for the patients
on Lunar New Year's Day. While attending the special event with Eun-seong, Hye-seok
freezes when she passes by the hospital director who is with his family. She
tells Eun-seong about her painful past.
When the hospital director tells Dr. Choi not to operate on the janitor, he
disobeys him and heads to the operating room to save the man. So Dr. Lee Seung-jae
follows Dr. Choi and tries to dissuade him but to no avail. During an operation,
Min Young-gyu leaves the delicate valve procedure to Kim Tae-joon who has no
choice but to follow orders. Dr. Choi asks Eun-seong to have the janitor sign
papers of consent for open heart surgery and offers a special bonus if he gets
it done. The janitor finds the will to live.

[INTERVIEW] Actor Ji Sung - part 2
Actor Ji Sung [Lee Jin-hyuk/10Asia] 10: It often shows through the indifferent expression you put on when playing the role of King Su-ro that I can tell that you don't easily let your character's emotions lift up. One can't tell that he's someone who is suffering from a tragedy just by looking at his expression. Even when he's saving his queen Heo Hwang-ok (played by Seo Ji-hye) and cutting bamboo trees, rather than giving a piercing look, he just quite casually swings around his sword. Ji Sung: He rather has fun with it. We set Su-ro as a character who is always at ease, no matter what situation he is in. He would have such a hard time if he took every single situation seriously. It's not even a life that he wanted for himself. However, you'll be able to tell once you watch the show this week but he again changes in the way he expresses his emotions.

[Interview of the week] Thirty, rehearsal is over! Entertainer Lee Ji-hoon
It's been 12 years since Lee Ji-hoon's debut, but he is 'still' careful to define himself. The word 'still' may sound odd, but that seems most fitting. It's because he has overcome dangers that don't happen easily, and he is beginning to bear fruit for his longtime prayers. Lee Ji-hoon, who is turning thirty this year, says that his life so far has only been an introduction. The thing I need is not a break but energy "One glass of hot cocoa". Mid-June brought an earlier heat wave, and Lee Ji-hoon, who we met at a cafe, ordered hot cocoa. Hot cocoa on a day for refreshing iced tea… He laughs and explains, feeling the eyes of the reporter on him. "I didn't get to drink it this morning. I have filming left in the afternoon, so I'm going to replenish my calories". MBC drama "New Heart", which started November 2007 ended in February, in March and April, made his album and started filming KBS drama "You Are My Destiny", Japanese show in May and release of his sixth album ' The Classic '.

According to minutes of the Fed's December gathering released Wednesday, officials believed that with inflation still muted, the central bank could afford to be "patient" about future rate hikes. While the Fed did approve a fourth rate increase for the year, the minutes show that a "few" Fed officials argued against hiking rates at the meeting.
The minutes said that based on current developments, Fed officials judged that a "relatively limited amount of additional tightening would likely be appropriate."
The minutes covered the Dec. 18-19 meeting at which the central bank raised its benchmark rate for the fourth time in 2018, pushing the policy rate to a range of 2.25 percent to 2.5 percent.
Financial markets were not pleased, and stocks falling sharply. The drop was blamed in part on comments Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made at a news conference following the announcement in which he seemed to emphasize the strength of the economy more than possible downside risks.
However, in an appearance last Friday, Powell struck a somewhat different tone, stressing that with inflation remaining muted, the Fed could afford to be "patient" in determining when to hike rates this year. The minutes delivered a similar message.
Powell is scheduled to speak again on Thursday before the Economic Club of Washington in remarks that will be closely watched for further clues about the Fed's current thinking.
"There is no pre-set path for policy," Powell said in his Atlanta comments, which helped to send the market up by 746 points last Friday. "With the muted inflation readings we have seen coming in, we will be patient as we watch to see how the economy evolves."
The minutes made no reference to any of the attacks President Donald Trump has leveled at Powell and the Fed for the series of rate hikes, which Trump has blamed for pushing the stock market down.
The minutes cited rising concern among business contacts about the impact of Trump's get-tough trade policies, which have imposed punitive tariffs on imports from China and other nations in an effort to trim America's huge trade deficit.
The minutes were released with the usual customary three-week lag since the meeting.

In America's battle over President Donald Trump's demand for $5 billion in wall funding, no subject is off-limits for partisan sniping. After the recent deaths of ailing 7- and 8-year old migrants in the care of the U.S. Border Patrol, Trump tweeted that "Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies" were to blame, and with a border wall, migrants "wouldn't even try" to enter the country. Amid backlash from Democratic legislators, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen visited the border and urged Congress to fix an "overwhelmed" system that's created a "humanitarian crisis."
Small Sacrifices
WSJ (sub), USA Today
With the current Republican-controlled House, Senate and administration failing to enact funding for President Donald Trump's signature border wall, it's likely the resulting weeklong government shutdown will continue. While Democrats taking over the House next week say they're poised to pass a spending bill that doesn't fund "the president's immoral, ineffective and expensive" wall, Trump's sequestered himself in the White House, blaming Democrats, threatening to close the Mexican border and cut aid to Central America, where a new migrant caravan is reportedly preparing to head north.
Washington Post, Daily Mail, Reuters
A day after a bomb near Giza's pyramids killed three Vietnamese tourists and their local guide, security forces raided two sites Saturday in the Cairo suburb and another in North Sinai. The government reported killing 40 militants, publishing photos of bodies with weapons next to them — not linking them to Friday's attack, but saying "a number of terrorists" were plotting assaults on tourism, official and Christian sites. There have been periodic attacks on such targets, but human rights monitors charge that a similar 2017 raid was staged to obfusicate extrajudicial killings.

They're hiring. Aside from a looming budget shutdown battle, presumptive House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her incoming Democratic majority have a full agenda. For one, they're retaining lawyers with expertise on a variety of subjects related to investigating the president — even as his lawyer Rudy Giuliani says he's "done enough" for special counsel Robert Mueller's probe. Pelosi has also appointed a leader for the committee on climate change she plans to revive, while Democrats have ordered Homeland Security officials to preserve evidence in the deaths of two migrant children, foretelling another likely investigation.

Western media welcomed Saudi Arabia's millennial crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, as a reformer who engineered lifting bans on women driving, working and attending soccer games. Then came the dismemberment of Saudi Arabia's best-known journalist, an assassination bearing the prince's fingerprints — and he had yet to take the throne. Rumors that bad press might deny MBS his royal inheritance have faded, though, as King Salman has removed his son from the security of his yacht and taken him to hold court in the provinces, appearing intent to clarify whom the next king will be.

Under President Barack Obama, the Environmental Protection Agency initiated restrictive measures to curb pollutants. Since President Donald Trump has taken office, many of those measures have been reversed. In California, the use of chlorpyrifos, originally developed as a nerve agent, as a pesticide applied across the state's nut and orange orchards is reportedly causing violent reactions in workers. In North Dakota, unabated burning methane from fracking is aggravating climate change. Pushback from industry has succeeded in turning around 80 of the Obama administration restrictions, now either delayed or in the process of repeal.
The Week Ahead: As the year ends Monday night, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis' resignation will take effect and his deputy, Patrick Shanahan, will take over as acting secretary. On Tuesday, New Year's Day, the euro currency will mark its 20th anniversary. That same day, far-right populist Jair Bolsonaro will be sworn in as Brazil's president.
Know This: Voters in the Democratic Republic of Congo are choosing a replacement for President Joseph Kabila, who has promised to relinquish power after 17 years. President Trump has ordered that 2019 raises for some 2 million civilian federal employees be canceled. And the No. 1-ranked Alabama will again meet Clemson (ranked No. 2) in the Jan. 7 NCAA football championship after both teams won semifinal games Saturday against Oklahoma and Notre Dame, respectively.

It's coming, but we may not recognize it. It's becoming harder and harder to tell the handiwork of humans from that of bots on the web. Research indicates that in good years, nearly half of online traffic is automated, fed by "click farms" that gin up engagement to boost websites' value to advertisers. It's especially evident at YouTube, where staff fear "The Inversion" — when fraud detection systems start perceiving humans as bots. Some believe that militates for reforming or even regulating the internet to save the digital world's humanity.

It was out of the blue. NPR correspondent Tamara Keith had to put off family festivities to honor the White House's request. Swearing her spouse to secrecy, Keith and fellow pool reporters arrived at a darkened Maryland air base to board Air Force One for President Donald Trump's Wednesday Iraq visit — his first with combat-deployed military. The only clues leaked were an aviation nerd's photo of the plane over Britain and the Twittersphere's eerie silence, prompting presidential thanks not just to the troops but also to the journalists and their "courage."
He fought one bullet at a time. As U.S. forces plan to withdraw from Syria, a Kurdish-origin British sniper's story resonates. Leaving his Swedish television job, Azad Cudi volunteered for the U.S.-allied Kurdish YPG, becoming a marksman who picked off ISIS fighters. His upcoming memoir, Long Shot: The Inside Story of the Snipers Who Broke ISIS, details his role in subduing the movement. Faced with President Trump's sudden withdrawal edict, U.S. commanders want to leave YPG — now willing to cede control to Syrian government forces — with American weapons, likely angering Turkey.

Woolly mammoths will roam the earth again. Maybe. Genetic technology, like CRISPR genome editing, has provided hope for "de-extinction" projects to revive bygone species. It's a delicate ethical line, raising issues like the animals' viability and impact on ecosystems. Why mammoths? They're big and they stomp and they like the cold. That's actually needed in these days of climate change, where cold-weather creatures help pack down frozen tundra to keep it from thawing too quickly and releasing trapped carbon — perhaps saving humans from their own extinction.
The wind was in their sails. The 2018 Minnesota Vikings were set to finally earn Super Bowl rings. They had a new facility — with cryotherapy and a nutrition bar — and freshly signed quarterback Kirk Cousins. But early injuries and imbalances meant near-constant reconfiguration by coach Mike Zimmer. Then there was the disappointing defense, lack of ground game, alleged shooting threat and mental health check. It seemed like typical NFL volatility, but Twin Cities fans retain hope: The game Sunday against conference rival Chicago offers a guaranteed playoff berth.

60 years ago today, she was crowned Queen Elizabeth II. 60 years on, our Queen she remains.
All I can say is, long may she reign!
I'm neither ashamed nor afraid to admit it: I watched the live broadcast of the Royal Wedding. It meant I had to set my alarm for 3 a.m., and resulted in a very long day, but it was well worth it.
I've long been a monarchist, and am proud of it. I adore HM The Queen, and think she and her family an important part of Canada's history and its future. And so, I, along with nearly 12 million Canadians and almost 2 billion people around the world, delighted in the spectacle that took place on April 29, 2011.
To witness, as we all did, the marriage of Prince William to Kate Middleton, was to witness a bit of history in the making. And what a bit of history it was!
I dare say the event was flawless, every aspect executed with military precision. Cars left the various palaces neither a minute early, nor a minute late; everyone arrived at Westminster Abbey on time, as expected; the ceremony went off without a hitch; the day unfolded exactly like officials said it would.
More importantly, however, I genuinely believe this Royal Wedding — one for the ages, to be sure! — didn't simply meet the world's expectations, it exceeded them. Fantastically so.
That dress! The trees in the Abbey! Those hats! Pippa!
Not one, but two kisses from the balcony!

Q: How to specify a network interface when initialize the Kubernetes cluster? I have couple of nodes I need to deploy Kubernetes on them. So they all have couple of NICs. Let's say ens0, ens1, ens2 are the network interfaces and ens0 is the default, but I was requested to use ens1. When I deploy kubernetes it's using the default interface. How do I change it when I initialize the cluster?

A: You can use --apiserver-advertise-address string option when initializing kubeadm.
From Kubernetes documentation: The string is the IP address the API Server will advertise it's listening on. If not set the default network interface will be used.
So something like this should work:
kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=10.x.x.x

Where 10.x.x.x is the IP associated with your desired interface.

Interviews & Opinions
July 4th, 2019 - 10:58am
Santa Monica-based investment outfit Gerber Kawasaki reckons that Activision Blizzard should sell to Walt Disney.
In an interview with Bloomberg, investor advisor representative Nick Licouris says that there are upsides due to the former's burgeoning esports business and the latter's TV networks, with Disney also able to make the most of Activision Blizzard's characters in broader entertainment.
Gerber Kawasaki owns Activision Blizzard stock worth in the region of $4.3m at the time of writing, as well as $22m in Disney shares.
Activision Blizzard wouldn't be a cheap deal, though. Right now the company's market cap is $37.27bn, though this is a 36 per cent decline from 12 months ago and a 43 per cent dip from its October 2018 high, when the games giant's share price hit $83.39.
The price is still just over half the $71.3bn that Disney paid for 21st Century Fox, but the former Murdoch company has absolute riches in entertainment IP.
Walt Disney has tried to get into the games space in the past and not had the best luck. The firm renamed its Buena Vista Games to Disney Interactive Studios in 2007, making a slew of acquisitions in the second half of the 2000s including Climax Racing - renamed Black Rock Studio - Avalanche Software, GameStar and Wideload Games.
The firm saw little in the way of success with new IP like Split/Second bombing and the company ultimately closing many of its studios and making losses of more than $200m a year between 2008 and 2012. The firm cancelled its toys-to-life project Disney Infinity in 2016, too, closing Avalanche Software in the process before that developer was bought by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment.
As a result, CEO Robert Iger has said that the licensing model works best for the company. The House of Mouse has teamed up with Electronic Arts for the Star Wars IP on PC and console - which so far has yielded BioWare Austin's The Old Republic MMO, two Battlefront games from its DICE studio and the forthcoming Jedi: Fallen Order from Titanfall maker Respawn Entertainment, in addition to a plethora of cancelled projects set in a galaxy far, far away.
That's on top of the partnership with Japanese publishing giant Square Enix for an Avengers game with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal at the helm, which was shown off for the first time at this year's E3.
Star Wars Battlefront II caused fury in the games community due to its rather aggressive implementation of loot boxes, so much so that Disney head honcho Robert Iger reportedly called EA CEO Andrew Wilson to pull them from the project. The House of Mouse's CEO praised the games firm months later for being a solid partner
It's unlikely that Disney will want to set up a games business again given its past problems in the market, and licensing its IP out on a case-by-case basis seems to offer the best of both worlds to a huge company with a wealth of massive entertainment brands that is also hugely risk-averse.
But if it were to get into the games space and simply buy up a big player already, Activision Blizzard is potentially a good fit. It has IP which are potentially transferable to TV and film - especially on the Blizzard side of things - as well as massive franchises like Call of Duty which will always do the numbers.
Despite being potentially lucrative, that series might be a reason why Disney would not be interested in the company given its desire to not court controversy, something that the forthcoming Modern Warfare is already doing. Then again, Disney already works with the Pentagon on its Marvel films and isn't afraid of annoying people with its more progressive choices with those super hero films, but by and large, the entertainment giant very much likes to play it safe.
Right now, Activision Blizzard lacks the breadth of content to bring a mainstream player on board, with its Guitar Hero and Skylanders IP seemingly dying a death - though the latter was successful as a Netflix series until it was cancelled in April of this year. Activision Blizzard also has King in its line-up. A mobile developer that has seen repeated success owned by a traditional games company is something of a rarity and therefore likely very attractive.
One company that would provide a huge breadth of content and IP is Electronic Arts, which Disney already works with on the Star Wars IP. The firm boasts titles for hardcore gamers - such as DICE's Battlefront and Battlefield series, as well as Respawn's Titanfall IP and thus Apex Legends - in addition to IP that court a more mainstream audience like the ever-popular FIFA and Madden licensed titles and The Sims.
Looking at Disney's acquisitions these last few years, the company is after blockbuster IP with broad appeal and a solid hit rate
The company would cost less than Activision Blizzard at the time of writing, with a market cap of $29.08bn - a dip of 31 per cent over the last twelve months - but it is mired by controversy at the moment. As Iger will no doubt remember, EA is arguably the company that kicked off the current negative sentiment towards loot boxes and aggressive monetisation in video games following Star Wars Battlefront II; a controversy that Disney had to get involved in at the time. Still, Iger has praised EA as a partner since that mess but the games firm remains in negative press over loot boxes as countries around the world decide what to do about the business model.
Grand Theft Auto firm Take-Two - current market cap $13.29bn - is another contender, depending on how much controversy Disney is prepared to endure. The company has boasted huge growth and boasts a wide array of IP, ranging from Rockstar's aforementioned crime romp, to the NBA 2K basketball IP that has been a hit both in the West and in China, and its mobile business it now operates thanks to the acquisition of Spain's Social Point in 2017.
Though Grand Theft Auto - and much of Rockstar's output - is hugely lucrative, the title is constantly the subject of moral panic and is a well-known pariah to many anti-video game groups. Given Disney's family-focused and relatively safe brand image, it's unlikely that the House of Mouse would want to be involved with that kind of bad press.
But enough of American games giants - let's cast our eye to Europe for our final potential investment for the House of Mouse; the house that Guillemot built. Ubisoft arguably boasts the widest array of IP in the games market right now, ranging from triple-A mature hits like Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs and The Division, to more family-friendly releases such as Just Dance, Mario and Rabbids and Trials. The French firm has multimedia ambitions that include bringing The Division to TV screens via a movie deal with Netflix, as well as the Splinter Cell film staring Tom Hardy that is constantly threatened but never seems to appear. Its Rabbids brand, a spin-off of Rayman, has already proven to be a hit outside of games, with a successful TV show, comic book series and a film in the works.
Ubisoft's more apolitical stance probably sits right with Disney's safe approach to controversial topics, too. And with a market cap of just $8bn, the House of Mouse would be getting a lot of bang for its buck. Whether Guillemot and co would sell is another matter. The French firm spent years fighting off a hostile takeover from media conglomerate Vivendi and the publishing giant has made clear that it values its independence. Though Disney is doing some relatively interesting things with the Star Wars and Marvel franchises, it's unlikely that a Disney-owned Ubisoft would have the same amount of creative freedom as it does right now - not by a long shot.
It's highly unlikely that Disney will try and buy its way into the games industry again. Per Robert Iger's point to investors earlier this year, the company has tried and failed rather spectacularly before so it's unsurprising that the House of Mouse wants to keep any potential games business at arm's length, as it were. But looking at Disney's acquisitions these last few years, the company is after blockbuster IP with broad appeal and a solid hit rate - something that all of the companies listed here have.

The Misfortunes of Miss V.
The Misfortunes of Miss V : Ghosty Meeting.
Back to San Myshuno, I am not tired yet to go to bed. Instead, I prepare a wonderful gratin for Jason and I, a healthier and tastier meal than sandwiches.
Talina was aware of my abduction by the Pollinators themselves. She decided to cheer me up inviting me at the Fitness Party at San Myshuno fitness club's downtown to change my mind.
It is in the privacy of the bedroom, that Jason starts the conversation. He is increasingly worried about me. He knew I dissapeared last night. He questions me to get to know more about what was happened.
The Misfortunes of Miss V : Hour of Truth.
Later, I set about to grab the Cube of Truth to have a lecture in order to understand what happens to me.
Sirius pets me to try to bring me smile again.
The Misfortunes of Miss V : Let it Go.
When I finally back home from the spacecraft, I feel down in the dumps.
Honestely, I really cannot stand this night breakaway with these Pollinisators, who take themselves for Doctors. They examined my whole body, to mock my Infertility in the end.
The Misfortunes of Miss V : Be Back Home.
Outside, the Visitors left green lights and Mistigriff meowing to death alone. The mother she cherrishes is gone. She could not protect her. Will she be back home?
The Misfortunes of Miss V : Mummy is gone.
« Marie-Béatrice, please come'n'go out. Marie-Béatrice dress up and go out !
After our conversation, Jason feels very sorry for being a jerk with me. Paranormal is a subject Jason is not familiar with. All he wanted, was to make me confortable. He was clumsy. How could I be unfair with him? He seems he does not feel anything strange in here. How can he understand the way I feel if the feelings are not shared together?
The Misfortunes of Miss V: Apologizes.
Jason comes back home happy to get his first promotion. He was recruited as Mailroom Technician in the Business carreer, tonight he is an Office Assistant.
Life is always brighter when you are a pet(s) owner. Your furry friend(s) is/are always here for you when you are sad.
Sirius my dog gives me a petting to cheer me up.
He likes spending time with me, his sister Mistigriff or with Jason.
The Misfortunes of Miss V : Sirius.
Since Jason and I renovated the house we built, in Hallow Slough, in the area of Pendula View in Willow Creek, the atmosphere drastically changed. Nothing turns as quieter as it was. As if, our renovations opened an alternative universe door. How strange my health is? This arouses my Detective curiosity. My intuition always leads me in the right direction.


You got no trains ! Do you want some ?
Not much to look forward on the Sabbath. It is, of course, traditionally a day of rest. Sadly for us Addicks that's what the lads have be doing on most other days of the week of late !
As I write I should be post-Wetherspoons and pre-match. However, Sky have dictated that this isn't the case and moved the game to tomorrow with a ludicrous noon kick off. With total disregard for the fans of both sides it is a day when there are no trains to Charlton.
Still all that matters are the armchair fans and Sky TV itself as after all, they are the lifeblood of the game eh ?
I couldn't believe that some of our fans were moaning about not being on Sky and some went further and wrote to them about it. Well done if they were influenced by that because aside from tomorrow the kick off for the Ipswich game is also moved.
Football should be 3pm on a Saturday, end of ! It's what season ticket holders and the majority of other fans sign up for and expect.
I might have a more favourable view of things if I could see any real evidence of the Sky money permeating its way down to the grass roots of the game. Sadly, all I see is players across the Prem and many football league clubs lining their pockets and driving nice cars with homes to match.
Good for them but not for the future of the game both at domestic and international level. The money available to clubs only serves to deliver the odious characters that we see week in, week out on our television screens.
I gave up hoping that the bubble might burst years ago and with every passing year it seems further away than ever. A return to the " good old days " when fans supported their local teams and could watch games at an appropriate time and price have gone for good I fear.
You don't need to be overly perceptive to detect a downbeat mood from me ! It's not helped by our current run. I can readily acknowledge our bad run of injuries albeit that some of them are self-inflicted. The club still seem to be rushing players back too soon..........I'm sick of reading that so and so probably returned to the side too early !
We all knew our squad was paper-thin before a ball was kicked in anger but we lived in the hope of recruiting another decent centre-half and left sided midfield player. I appreciate the need to stick to a budget but the outlay would have be recouped in terms of points and money as improved results would inevitably bring more bums on seats.
One has to question the idea of sending Lennon out on loan and our apparent willingness to loan out Igor but not until he's regained fitness and confidence........a very different way of playing your way out of the team !
It all smacks of muddled thinking whilst money is more sensibly spent in other areas. Great for the long term future but please don't take your eye of the here and now !
Given all of the above I have a lot of sympathy for Luzon. He has managed to get the team playing some of the best football we've seen for some time. I don't think he's been backed at the right time. I'm sure none of us wants to see another managerial casualty, it's not the Charlton way or at least, it didn't used to be !
Other commitments prevent me from being at the game tomorrow although I'll be watching on tv. I can't see any reason for any optimism and even a point appeals. I hope I'm wrong of course.

How to design stadium lighting?
A modern stadium must have a good lighting environment to ensure visual effects and meet the lighting requirements of spectators, athletes and TV broadcasts. Do you know how to design stadium lighting?
Four Corner Arrangement
Lamps are arranged in the four corners of the competition field in a centralized form combined with light poles. Until today, the lighting facilities of many stadiums are still arranged in four corners. Four light poles are set at the four corners of the field. The tower height is generally 35-60m, and narrow beam lamps are commonly used. This type of layout is suitable for football pitches with no canopy or low canopy height. This method has low lighting utilization rate, difficult maintenance and repair, and high cost.
Multiple Pole Arrangement
The multi-pole arrangement is a form of arrangement on both sides. The arrangement on both sides is a combination of lamps and light poles or building tracks, and is arranged on both sides of the competition field in the form of clusters or continuous light belts. As the name implies, the multi-pole arrangement is to set up multiple groups of light poles on both sides of the field, which is suitable for football practice fields, tennis courts, etc. Its outstanding advantage is that it consumes less electricity, and the ratio of vertical illuminance and horizontal illuminance is better. Due to the lower light pole, this type of lighting arrangement also has the advantages of less investment and convenient maintenance.
Light Belt Arrangement
The light belt arrangement is another form of two-side arrangement, that is, the lamps are arranged in rows on both sides of the stadium to form a continuous light belt lighting system. The light belt lighting is evenly illuminated, and the brightness between the athletes and the stadium is relatively good. At present, it is recognized in the world that this lighting method can meet the requirements of color TV broadcast, high-definition TV broadcast and even ultra-high-definition TV broadcast.
The length of the light belt must exceed the goal line by more than 10m. For Class A and super-level comprehensive stadiums, the length of the light belt is generally not less than 180m, and the projection angle of the lamps should not be less than 25°. Some stadium light belt lighting is very close to the sideline of the field (the angle is more than 65°), and the side of the field closer to the light belt cannot obtain sufficient vertical illuminance, so the rear lighting system must be added.
Mixed Arrangement
The mixed arrangement is a lighting arrangement that organically combines the four corners and two sides (including multi-pole arrangement and light belt arrangement). It is a lighting arrangement with good lighting technology and lighting effect for large comprehensive stadiums in the world at present.
The mixed arrangement has the advantages of the two kinds of lighting, which enhances the sense of reality, and the vertical illuminance and uniformity of the four directions are more reasonable, but the degree of glare is increased. At this time, the four corners are often not set independently, but integrated with the building structure, so the cost is relatively low.
The floodlights used in the four corners are mostly narrow beams to solve the lighting problem. Most of the light belts are medium beams and narrow beams to achieve far, medium and near lighting. Mixed arrangement, the projection angle and azimuth arrangement of the four corners can be properly and flexibly handled, the length of the light belt arrangement can also be appropriately shortened, and the height of the light belt can also be appropriately reduced.

No matter what your outdoor goals are—fishing, hiking, swimming, skiing, hunting or just nature-based R&R—there's a Minnesota State Park for you and your RV.
Traveling by RV continues to grow in popularity as more people discover the freedom and ease of taking their home on the road. RVs can access many remote areas, opening doors to far-flung adventures, all without the hassle of constantly packing and unpacking. People can travel at their own pace and carry everything they need with them, and still enjoy the best Mother Nature has to offer.
Here are 10 great examples of Minnesota State Parks that offer pull-through RV spaces and dump stations, including a few that offer free WiFi if you want to work remotely while traveling.
Glacial Lakes State Park

This park in west-central Minnesota is located at the scenic and fascinating point where the prairie meets the forest. Glacial Lakes State Park contains a rare slice of native prairieland that, in season, features a host of wildflowers and grasses. The prairie is adjacent to large hardwood forests that characterize much of northern Minnesota.
The park is home to spring-fed Signalness Lake, open for swimming and boating (electric motors only), with canoe rentals available. A fishing pier on the lake may result in catching sunfish, crappies, bass, pike, perch and walleye. In the summer, there are hiking and horse-riding trails, as well as paved bike trails; in winter, there are ungroomed cross-country ski, snowmobile and snowshoe trails. Wildlife sightings might include deer, beaver, pileated woodpeckers and coyotes.
RV Length Limit: 45 feet
Pull-Through Sites: One
Gooseberry Falls State Park

Located on the North Shore within easy travel to Duluth and seven other North Shore state parks, this park contains the Gooseberry River, five waterfalls and some of the finest Lake Superior coastline around. Hiking and paved bike trails run through Gooseberry Falls State Park, which is also connected to the Superior Hiking Trail. In winter, there are groomed cross-country ski trails, and there's also a mile of skate skiing. Snowmobilers and snowshoers are welcome as well.
The park's visitor center and gift shop are open year-round, and there's a restaurant 2 miles away that's open all year. After active days in the park, bring a picnic dinner to the shelter overlooking Lake Superior before returning to your RV site for some s'mores time.
Pull-Through Sites: Three
Itasca State Park
Walk across the Mississippi River in Itasca State Park
Best known for the Mississippi River Headwaters, there are countless reasons to plan an RV trip to Itasca State Park. For starters, it's the oldest state park in Minnesota and one of the largest. There are also extensive hiking trails, paved bike trails, historic sites, boat tours of Lake Itasca, naturalist bus tours (reservation required), a variety of recreational rentals and swimming beach and boat access to four lakes.
Itasca is home to a sizable wilderness sanctuary and some of Minnesota's remaining old-growth pine forests. And if your trip is part work and part play, take advantage of Itasca's free WiFi to work remotely from your RV.
Lake Bemidji State Park
Get on the water at Lake Bemidji State Park in northwest Minnesota
Located just across the water from the city that shares its name, this small but mighty state park is ideal for anyone seeking a side of nature with their Bemidji adventure. In addition to several hiking trails, the park is also connected to the Paul Bunyan State Trail that extends south all the way to Crow Wing State Park near Baxter. A one-mile hike takes visitors onto a boardwalk that travels into a bog, a great place to spot orchids and lady slippers blooming in the spring and early summer.
Eagle and osprey sightings are frequent, and the birdwatching overall makes the park a popular birding spot. There's a boat ramp and 16-slip marina (first come, first served) as well as a sandy swimming beach. The park also offers free WiFi throughout the campground, so working remotely from your RV is an option for digital nomads.
Pull-Through Sites: Five
Lake Bronson State Park

You'll find Lake Bronson State Park in the far northwest corner of the state, an area first used by Native Americans, then pioneers. The park itself was a Works Progress Administration project, which resulted in the construction of a dam and several now-historic buildings including the largest observation/water tower in the entire Minnesota State Parks system. Fishing is a year-round sport here, with walleye, pike, perch and large- and small-mouthed bass all found in Lake Bronson. Interpretive signage provides information about the prairie and aspen parklands.
For those using the pull-through sites, their location on the north edge of Lake Bronson is near the boat trailer access. The sites there are enormous and many are shaded, giving privacy and relief from the occasional hot day.
Pull-Through Sites: Six
Lake Shetek State Park

Shetek is the Ojibwe word for pelican. This will seem crystal clear if you visit Lake Shetek State Park in the fall or summer months, when white pelicans make their annual migration to the area to nest nearby. The park is also home to the largest lake in southwestern Minnesota and the headwaters of the Des Moines River. There are multiple pioneer cabin sites with interpretive signs, including a still-existing cabin and a memorial to 14 pioneers buried here. The park has limited options for hiking and biking, but makes up for it with ample swimming and fishing opportunities.
Two of the pull-through sites in the Oak Woods Campground are within easy walking distance to the swimming beach as well as a playground and volleyball area. Work is being done to restore parts of the park to its natural prairie state and have it showcase a wide variety of wildflower blooms in the spring.
Pull-Through Sites: Four
Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park
Opened in 2017, Minnesota's newest state park unites the older Soudan Underground Mine with extensive wilderness on Lake Vermilion. Located in the state's famed Iron Range, Soudan was a highly active iron ore mine early in the 1900s. But as profits dwindled after World War II, the U.S. Steel Corporation donated the mine and surrounding 1,200 acres to Minnesota in 1963 to create the Soudan Underground Mine State Park.
In 2010, the state purchased an additional 2,848 acres to create the expanded Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park. The addition gives the park both a significant historical site and extensive wilderness to explore. Its history is best illustrated on daily underground mine tours led by professional interpreters (summer only) and surface tours that explain what was done with the ore once it was mined, the equipment used to process it and the jobs the mines provided.
Maplewood State Park
This state park's terrain is a series of tree-covered hills with eight lakes tucked into adjacent valleys. The pull-through sites are near Grass Lake, offering excellent sunset views to wind down a busy day of fishing, biking or hiking. Besides RV camping, Maplewood State Park also offers horse camping and 20 miles of horse trails. There are also extensive hiking trails, as well as mountain bike, snowmobile, snowshoe, and both groomed and ungroomed cross-country ski trails.
The park is on a series of hills that can make some of the trails challenging, but provide many scenic overlooks well worth the hike. Extensive maple forests make this an especially attractive park to visit in the fall. Part of the park is undergoing a prairie restoration project, and visitors can take a self-guided 5-mile drive to view its progress.
Mille Lacs Kathio State Park
For great views of Lake Mille Lacs, head to this scenic state park on its southern shore. Mille Lacs Kathio State Park is full of rolling hills and trails where you can take in the lake, or you can climb the park's 100-foot observation/fire tower for a birds-eye view. Ogechie Lake also has a swimming beach and large, new playground. The Rum River winds its way through the park, inviting you to explore by canoe, kayak or rowboat (all available for rent).
Designated as a National Historic Landmark, visitors can explore the area's history of Dakota and French explorers on the Landmark Trail and Trail Through Time. The pull-through sites are located in the Petaga Campground, near the river and two scenic overlooks, and a short walk away from the swimming beach. Plenty of shade offers relief on warmer summer days. In winter, visitors can snowshoe and cross-country ski, snowmobile and sled down a hill that has a warming shelter.
Whitewater State Park
Perched on river bluffs overlooking the Whitewater River in the far southeastern corner of the state, this park is near the Whitewater Wildlife Management Area, meaning wildlife sightings and birdwatching are especially good here. In fact, the park contains more than 40 percent of Minnesota's rare plants and animals, including the Louisiana waterthrush. Fishing is good too, especially for brown, brook and rainbow trout.
Trails range from steep and hilly with extensive staircases to flat with wooden bridges, with something for every hiking level. A swimming beach offers spring-fed water for swimmers. History buffs will enjoy visiting the CCC/WPA structures within the park, and the historic Elba Fire Tower is just 2 miles away.

a French music hall singer who often writes, as well as performs, his material. The art of the chansonnier continues a tradition that was developed by the poet P. J. de Béranger and the songwriter P. Dupont (19th century), as well as by G. Montegues (20th century), whom V. I. Lenin heard sing. Among the greatest chansonniers are M. Chevalier, G. Brassens, E. Piaf, and C. Aznavour.
