The Dinner Horn
A young woman sounds the call for the noonday meal for the men laboring in the distant field. The wind pulls her skirts outward behind her, investing her form with an almost heroic, monumental quality. An identically posed figure appears in several of Homer's oil versions of the subject from the 1870s, all of which reflect his concerns with depicting the wholesomeness of American farm life. The engraving provides greater narrative detail than the oils do, perhaps reflecting Homer's interest in pleasing a general audience. The artist's keen knowledge of the graphic medium and its strengths is apparent, as well. He created additional visual interest, for example, by patterning the girl's dress and by inserting the border of spiked grasses at the lower edge of the composition.

Biotechnology is one of the most exciting areas in scientific research — and Delaware State encourages students to get in on the action. The Biotechnology track of the BS degree in Biological Sciences enables students to get involved in significant research projects, working on cloning, DNA analysis, gene manipulation, and other cutting-edge subjects. Students gain hands-on lab experience and develop practical skills that can help them succeed in graduate school and the job market.
This interdisciplinary degree involves coursework from the Biology, Chemistry, Agriculture, and Computer Science departments. It culminates in an independent research project, on a subject of the student's own choosing.
Advances in biotechnology have extraordinary potential to address global problems in health care, food production, energy, the environment, and more. So graduates of this program can really make a difference, while building great careers for themselves.
Professional Preparation
Graduates of Delaware State's Biotechnology program possess the academic background, practical laboratory skills, and research experience to compete successfully for jobs and graduate school placements. Our students go on to careers in government, medicine, private industry, and public/private research laboratories, in fields such as
- environmental regulation / research
- plant engineering
- pharmaceuticals
- product development
- health care
- natural resources management
- science writing
Members of the Delaware State biology faculty are highly committed to undergraduate education. Attentive and accessible, they go out of their way to cultivate students' interest in biology, research, and the sciences. Our instructors provide individual attention to each student, acting as mentors and advisors as well as classroom educators. They help students discover their academic strengths and lay solid foundations for graduate school and career development.
Research and Experience
All students on the Biotechnology track complete an independent research project for their Senior Capstone course. Additionally, most biotechnology majors get invited to join research teams made up of senior faculty and graduate students as early as the sophomore year. When research opportunities arise, undergraduates do more than simply wash test tubes; they play active, often significant roles in the research process. The skills they gain through this experience offer invaluable preparation for advanced degrees and/or scientific careers.

The staff at Buffalo Creek Ranch is committed to providing you with the vacation of your dreams, if your dream is to avoid the crowds and commercialism of the ordinary guest ranch. The Buffalo Creek Ranch is not ordinary. It is a spectacular natural paradise where you will be well fed and comfortable in your own private room. Your guide will know the water you're fishing, the trails you're riding and the land you're hunting. Come visit us and live the West how it was a hundred years ago (a few of the finer amenities aside). Experience fly-fishing as you always imagined it should be. With over fifteen miles of PRIVATE streams riddled with beaver dams and riffles, as well as five private, managed lakes, the angler can land every species of Rocky Mountain trout in a genuinely secluded setting. Fly-fishing enthusiasts will not tire of the extensive fishing opportunities. From the 45 acre lake in the heart of their private valley to lazily meandering streams through hay fields and willows teeming with wild browns, from the skilled or the beginner fisherman, you can easily be kept hopping with excitement for well over a week. Whether you prefer fishing from shore, belly boat or MacKenzie style drift boat, you covered. Buffalo Creek Ranch is a full-service lodge, taking pride in foreseeing all of your needs: transportation to streams, the best local guides, delicious meals and snacks, comfortable and beautiful lodging and lessons for beginners. And please remember, the Buffalo Creek experience allows you to participate in all other offered ranch activities while you're there, at your own pace.
North Park is home to the true headwaters of the North Platte River. Draining more than a half of a dozen rivers from the surrounding mountain ranges, the North Platte is a tremendous trout fishery with several distinct sections along its length. Through North Park and Walden, the North Platte is a meandering meadow river with wide riffles, slow deep pools, and steep undercut banks. On the rivers northward course it enters the rugged Northgate Canyon near the Colorado/Wyoming state line. This section is designated as Gold Medal Wild Trout water. Pugnacious rainbows and secretive brown trout inhabit these waters. Numerous caddis, stonefly, and mayfly hatches can provide fast-paced fishing action. In summer, thick grasshopper populations inhabit the meadows, and a good hopper pattern cast against a deep bank can result in heart-stopping strikes.
Numerous smaller streams flow from the high mountains towards their confluence with the North Platte River, providing countless fly fishing opportunities. Streams such as the Michigan, Illinois, North Fork and the Roaring Fork hold large populations of wild trout, with many fish over twenty inches caught each year. Riddled with deep pools, beautiful riffles, and endless oxbows, the area's small streams can provide some great fly fishing. There is an abundance of public accesses on these waters through state leases. Some of the biggest fish in North Park are caught annually in these streams!
North Park is fortunate to have numerous stillwater fishing opportunities ranging in size from several hundred acres to small ponds. Most of these lakes are teeming with insects such as damselflies, callibaetis, and chironomids. Scuds, the fresh water shrimp found in our lakes, are a major part of every fish's diet in these lakes, helping to grow the trophy fish we all dream of catching. Such food sources result in thick, well-fed trout that readily eat flies, fight hard, and make fly anglers grin ear-to-ear. Lakes such as John, the Delaney Buttes, Cowdrey and our private stillwaters are truly what we call "hawg farms". Lake John and Cowdrey Lake are known for healthy populations of thick, hard fighting fish. North Delaney is classified as Gold Medal Water by the state of Colorado, and is where the State collects its brown trout eggs for on-going stocking programs here in Colorado. South and East Delaney both grow trophy trout and are known for big cutthroats and rainbows. Other lakes in the area are Big Creek Lake, Seymour, and Teal and Tiago.
For those fly anglers seeking a less-traveled, back country setting, countless high mountain lakes and streams surround North Park. These waters can provide a fabulous day, or days and weeks, of fly fishing. Big rainbows, brook trout, and gorgeous cutthroat and golden trout, as well as the occasional grayling inhabit these alpine waters. Anglers willing to hike off the beaten path can reap astounding rewards. What is available here in North Park will take your breath away.
You are invited to you make yourselves at home in the newly-built, three story lodge. It features all of the amenities, including six comfortable bedrooms, newly decorated with stunning additions in the year 2004. Bed choices range from queen size to side-by-side twins.
The lodge's three levels insure privacy, each level with its own bathroom stuffed with fluffy towels of individual colors for each guest.

The view is even more execptional as your are looking out from your six person hot tub.

Saxtons River woman denies biting elderly brotherBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | December 31,2012BRATTLEBORO A 69-year-old Saxtons River woman pleaded innocent Friday to charges she bit her brother in the arm, drawing blood.
Maureen Abbott was arrested Thursday at the Cobb Lane home she shares with her 73-year-old brother, who told Vermont State Police troopers that his sister is bipolar. The man showed police a red, skinless spot above his left elbow about the size of a silver dollar and said his sister had bitten him, according to court records.
The woman also allegedly threatened to bite a Vermont State Police trooper who was trying to handcuff her for transport to the state prison in Springfield.
Abbott was charged with domestic assault and resisting arrest.
The brother told police that his sister had come downstairs looking for their new cat and had accosted him with a pole.
Trooper Eric Vitali said the pole appeared to be a cane with a sword inside.
The brother told police that he grabbed the pole to keep his sister from hitting him, and at that point she bit him in the arm.
When the police had taken her into custody she said she didnt want to be in handcuffs and became aggressive toward the trooper.
She then became aggressive towards me placing her right hand no less than 1 inch in front of my face. I observed her ball her left fist and I grabbed her hand. When I grabbed her hand, I observed her open her mouth and I believe that she was going to bit(e) me, wrote Vitali.
She later told Vitali that she would make her brothers life miserable and that her brother would get it in the neck.
Abbott, speaking in lightly accented English, said little during her arraignment in front of Superior Court Judge John Wesley.
Wesley noted that Abbott had been examined by a mental health screener for the court, and that she was deemed competent to proceed with the arraignment.
Wesley said the mental health screener did say that Abbott would benefit from mental health counseling.
The judge said he ordinarily would not release someone charged with assaulting a family member back to the same home. But Windham County States Attorney Tracy Kelly Shriver said the brother didnt want his sister to be placed somewhere else, since she had nowhere else to live.
According to the court, Abbott lives on the second floor of the house, while her brother lives on the first floor.
The judge ordered Abbott not to harass her brother, or hit him or bite him.
Youve got to get along better, the judge loudly told the woman, who said she was hard of hearing and usually reads lips, but couldnt since she didnt have her glasses.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

Just turned on my Xbox and got an invite for the March update. Will be downloading soon. Anyone else get a code?
Just FYI there is no sign up, it's invite only to registration then Microsoft will select applicants.
Since we first launched Xbox One, we have been thrilled to see our fans spending millions of hours on Xbox Live. Your enthusiasm reinforces our commitment to making Xbox One and Xbox Live the best place for gamers and entertainment fans.
This week marks a big week for Xbox One as we will start to roll out our first product update for Xbox One. As previously shared, this update offers many new improvements – including lots of behind-the-scenes updates for developers building apps and games for Xbox One, several new features we believe Xbox fans will love, stability and product updates to improve the customer experience, and continuous improvements to the quality of Kinect voice so commands become more fluid and responsive over time.
This is step one on our journey and commitment to deliver continuous innovation to Xbox One customers. Xbox One is a platform designed to offer the best games and entertainment experience and we are committed to delivering more and more features to our customers.
While we're thrilled to launch the February update this week, we're already looking ahead to March. We've prided ourselves on having the best multiplayer service for Xbox 360 and we've listened to your feedback about the features you want to see on Xbox One and Xbox Live. We've heard your feedback and the team has been working overtime to deliver updates that will significantly improve the multiplayer and party experience on Xbox One.
Here are more details on what's coming for parties and multiplayer in March:
Our March Xbox One system update will start rolling out in early March. We're excited to get these multiplayer and party improvements out in time for the March 11 launch of "Titanfall," the highly anticipated team-based online multiplayer game.
- Get to your friends list faster. The friends list will be front and center on the homepage of the Friends app. Click the Social tile on Home, or say "Xbox, go to Friends" to see who's online and what they're up to. From there you can quickly send messages and get into a party.
- Party chat will be turned on by default. When you party up, chat audio will be turned on by default.
- Chat with friends playing different games. Party chat will be separated from people playing your game, so you can chat with your friends who are online or you can chat with everyone playing the game.
- We're adding an "Invite friends to game" option to your multiplayer titles moving forward. Similar to Xbox 360 titles, this will appear inside a games' menu and offer a simple and quicker way to set up your multiplayer battles. Selecting "Invite friends" will let you invite friends to your game and party.
- We're adding "Recent Players." This is a simple list that shows you Xbox Live members you've recently played with, making it easier to stay in touch with people, or add new friends after your multiplayer battles.
The March update includes many more great features. The improvements to multiplayer and parties are just a few of the features that will be included, and we'll continue to share more details in the days and weeks ahead, including in-depth videos so you're all ready to take advantage of the new features in March. We're lucky to have a passionate community that shares feedback. Thanks for helping us make Xbox One even better.
March 4 system updates – countdown to "Titanfall"
On March 4, in advance of what is expected to be the biggest game launch of the year, we will be delivering another system update to prepare your Xbox One for "Titanfall." This update will contain many new features and improvements, most significantly to our party and multiplayer systems.

Thread: 20 Years Baby Name Game!!! EPIC
November 23rd, 2012 08:46 PM #46
2034: It's March and Libby and Mav are thirteen years old and Emmett is eleven. The triplets are still four. Rhiannon is upset that her babies are growing up and are teenagers already. Neither her nor Ezra can believe how quickly the times has passed. Rhiannon still wants another baby to care for so Ezra gives in and tells her that they will try once more. Suprisingly it is successful and nine months later she gives birth to a baby boy named Archer Rhys O'Hara. They find out days after he is born that he is hearing impaired and probably completely deaf. They are all saddened by this news but know that he will make it through.
2035: It's mid-August. Libby and Mav are fourteen, Emmett is twelve, the triplets are five and Archer is eight months old. The weekend is here and they all decide to take a day trip out on the town. They have tons of fun together as a family. They return home just after dark to find firetrucks and ambulences sitting in front of their home which they notice is smoldering. They find out that they managed to salvage a few boxes of photos, some other valubles and some boxes of winter clothes that were in the garage. Everything else was destroyed. Ezra and Rhiannon are happy that their family is safe but devestated by the fire. They end up having to move in with Rhiannon's sister, Mara. Mara Ivy Cooper lives in a penthouse with her rich but kind boyfriend, Fletcher James Walton and five year old daughter, Stella Violet Cooper. Thankfully their home is large enough for them to stay there. They stay there until they get moved into their new home which happens to be in the same neighborhood as their old home. They move in quickly and get to celebrate Christmas in their new home.
2036: It's January and Libby and Mav are fifteen, Emmett is thirteen, the triplets are six and Archer is one. Ezra and Rhiannon are so happy with their beautiful family. They have settled into their new home and decided that they like it better than their old one. A month goes by and Rhiannon feels odd and feels like she has been gaining some weight. She decides to go to the doctor and the doctor runs a pregnancy test which comes back negative. He tells her that she just needs to go home and lay down. She does this and by the end of the day she is feeling much better. A week later though, the odd feeling comes back with a vengence. This time it isn't just an odd feeling, it's also mixed with nausea and dizziness. She runs to the bathroom and takes a pregnancy test (She's learned to keep these on hand by now.) which comes back with a bright positive. She's excited but afraid. She knows that she is getting older and doesn't want her child to have a birth defect like Archer does. She decides to take a couple more just to be safe and they all come back with bright positives. She surprises the family that night at dinner. Six months later she gives birth to twin girls, Delaney Scarlet O'Hara & Delilah Jade O'Hara.
2037: It's November. Libby and Mav are sixteen, Emmett is fourteen, the triplets are seven, Archer is nearly two and the twins are one.
Rhiannon's sister, Mara gets married to her boyfriend, Fletcher, there in Germany where they plan to continue living. Mara's daughter, Stella is the flower girl, Ezra and Maverick are two of the groomsmen, Libby is one of the bridesmaids and Beck is the ring bearer. The wedding is huge, gorgeous and absolutely fabulous. They all have a wonderful time and Rhiannon is so happy for Mara.
2038: It's May. Libby and Mav are seventeen, Emmett is fifteen, the triplets are eight, Archer is three and the twins are nearly two. Ezra and Rhiannon are happy with their big family. They lead a very busy but happy life. They are preparing to send Libby and Maverick off to college which makes them really nervous but they know they will do great things. Rhiannon starts feeling sick and is beginning to show the signs of pregnancy which is making Rhiannon and Ezra really nervous. She takes a pregnancy test which confirms that she is indeed pregnant. An ultra-sound months later shows that she is having not one but to babies. They decide that they want to wait until the babies are born to find out their genders. The twins, both boys are born three months premature and are very sickly. They are named Zebediah Owen (Zeb) O'Hara & Thaddeus Sacha (Thad) O'Hara. Their first names mean Gift and middle names mean Warrior.
2039: It's December. Libby and Mav are eighteen, Emmett is sixteen, the triplets are nine, Archer is four, the twin girls are three and the twin boys are one. Libby and Maverick are both home for Christmas. Rhiannon and Ezra decide to get the children all a pet for Christmas since their last pets, Hugo and Isla, burnt up in their house fire. The children are so excited to see the big, fluffy golden retriever with a big red bow around his neck on Christmas morning. They name him Phoenix.
2040: It's June. Rhiannon is at home with Archer, the twin girls and twin boys. Ezra is at work when his phone rings. He answers it and the man on the other end asks, "Is this Mr. Ezra O'Hara?" Ezra is confused as to who it could be but answers, "Yes. Can I help you with anything?" The man answers back, "I am sorry to inform you of this but Mr. Gabriel Quinn and Mrs. Lena Quinn have passed this morning. They were in a terrible car accident while on the way to work." Ezra immediately wants to cry. Gabe and Lena are... were Ezra and Rhiannon's best friends since childhood. But why is this guy telling me this? "It says in their will that you and your wife are to care for their son." Ezra is so overcome he barely hears him say anything else. Lena's parents both passed away when she was seventeen and she was left to her grandmother until she turned eighteen. Her grandmother passed away just a few years ago. Gabe's parents were deadbeats and didn't care about him at all. He hangs up with the man and leaves work early to head home and tell Rhiannon the news. They are both so sad and grieve the rest of the day. The man calls back to Ezra's work the next day and informs him of the funeral time and date. They go to the funeral and bring back Lena and Gabe's three year old son, Finley Tyson (Finn) O'Hara.Lovely Ladies: Astrid. India. Jane. Ramona. Thisbe.Fine Fellows: Atticus. Eliot. Finley. Theodore.

Jillian Elizabeth (nee Benson), age 25, marries Jeremy Malcolm Danvers, age 27, on May 30th, 2017, in a simple outdoors wedding and a honeymoon in Scotland. They move to the townhouse on the right http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtm...009EA4A24C-1-7 in New York City, New York, where they have been staying for the past year and a half.
2018: NYC becomes a little too expensive for Jillian and Jeremy to live. So, they relocate to Boston, Massachusetts, to this house http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtm...F071D9A14D-2-7. Jillian continues to build on her career as a novelist while Jeremy works as an academic translator and researcher for Boston University.
2019: Now that they are settled, Jillian and Jeremy decide to bite the bullet and try for a baby. They get more than what they bargained for when they get pregnant with twin girls! On June 1st, 2019, Amelia Charlotte Danvers and Penelope Julia Danvers are born.
2020: Leaving the twins with Jeremy's parents, the Danvers spend the weekend before Valentine's Day at a beach resort in North Carolina.
2021: Jillian and Jeremy decide to try for their third child. They thought they were having one child, a boy, but he came with two more girls. On December 31st, 2021, the triplets Declan Jeremy Danvers, Lydia Cecily Danvers, and Gemma Ava Danvers are born.
2022: Jillian is interviewed in "Seventeen" magazine when her popular YA fantasy/romance novel, "Swan Lake," makes it to the New York Times bestseller list.
2023: Jillian dies her hair black and straightens it. Jeremy likes it, but prefers the auburn.
2024: Jillian and Jeremy decide to have, at least, one more baby, now that the twins are 5 and the triplets are 3. However, after several tries, they give up and decide they are done having children. Then, they remember they had also wanted to adopt, in addition to having their own children. In the fall of that year, the Danvers apply to be adoptive parents. A month later, they are delivered twin boys, Soren Gray Danvers and Quinton Seth Danvers, born October 12th, 2024.
2025: Amelia, Jillian and Jeremy's eldest daughter, is filmed as an extra a dance class in a movie based off of one of Jillian's books, "Swan Lake."
2026: The house Jillian and Jeremy bought is suddenly becoming cramped with seven children. They move to the suburbs of south Boston and into this house: http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtm...6ACE6966E-1-40. There is enough space for each of the kids to have their own bedrooms.
2027: For their 8th birthday present, the twins Amelia and Penelope ask for a dog. Jillian and Jeremy were on the fence about it. But when a family friend who under certain circumstances could no longer keep her one-year-old female German Shepard and asks if the Danvers would take her, they cannot say no. Jeremy goes to pick up the dogs with the excited twins in tow. The dog's name is Daisy.
2028: Since the twins got a dog last year, seven-year-old Lydia, one of the triplets, asks if she can get a cat. Since she is the quietest and shyest out their children, Jillian and Jeremy comply with Lydia's request. She gets a female ragdoll cat she calls Lulu. Not long after that, Daisy the dog becomes pregnant with a litter of eight puppies. The Danvers find homes for all of the puppies, except one that they decide to keep, and, of course, have Daisy fixed. The one they keep is a boy and his name is Sam.
2029: With seven children, two dogs, and a cat, Jillian and Jeremy have a full house. But Jillian falls unexpectedly pregnant at 36! Thankfully, it is only one baby. It is a girl, born a few weeks early, and the 10-year-old twins help pick her name: Adora Eleanor Danvers, who was born on March 11th, 2029.
2030: Because of a promising new job offer and an inheritance from his grandfather, Jeremy moves Jillian, their kids, and pets to his hometown of Syracuse, New York. They move into this house, slightly bigger than their previous one, http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtm...437D0D1A0-3-47. The kids adjust rather nicely in their new home and school.
2031: Jillian goes on a book tour for a few weeks in the summer along with three other authors. On several of the trips, she brings the 12-year-old twins with her.
2032: The Danvers adopt two more cats: a male Persian named Prince and a female Birman cat named Paris.
2033: Jillian's mother gets sick and she goes back to Massachusetts to help look after her. However, her mother becomes difficult and uncooperative, demanding too much and Jillian looses time away from work and her family. Jeremy and the kids are very upset with her. Eventually, her father convinces her to go back to New York. Jeremy was ticked off at her for leaving, but they quickly reconcile.
2034: Jillian and Jeremy buy another house in Syracuse, New York. It looks like this: http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtm...6ACE6966E-3-81.
2035: Jillian and Jeremy's good friend Amanda Clarkson has a baby girl named Addison Rae Clarkson.
2036: Jeremy's favorite cousin, Peter John Myers, and Peter's wife Hannah die in a car accident. They leave their three children to Jillian and Jeremy. The kids are twelve-year-old Leah Theresa Myers, nine-year-old Howard Theodore Myers, and six-year-old Jonathon Ray Myers.
2037: Jillian and Jeremy take along their kids for a sabbatical in London, England for a year. They rent this house: http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtm...337D0D1A0-1-10, which the children all love, almost as much as London itself. At the end of the sabbatical, they are all glad to return to Syracuse.
2038: Jillian gets a tattoo of a small pink heart on her ankle in honor of her and Jeremy's wedding anniversary.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Flannel Sheet-Blanket …
"I use your sheet blanket as a topper over our electric blanket because it is a lot simpler to wash than the electric blanket is. I have used them for years! Very tough blankets!" - Patty, Astoria,
"This is the first item I've bought from you, and I love it. I washed and dried it twice and it is soooo soft. I am ordering another!" - Barbara Roccosalvo, Franklin, MA
"These sheet-blankets are wonderful. Northern California has cool summer nights, and these are a perfect blanket. Grandkids like to roll up in them on the floor for a "nest" when movie watching, or for taking in the car. Easy wash, lightweight, warm, and also snuggly -- love them!" - VIRGINIA DUNTON, San Jose, CA
"Your Flannel Sheet Blanket has caused a tug of war...I bought one a few years ago from you for something light for the Texas weather. My husband loved it and wanted another. So I ordered another. They are perfect for what we need. Then my granddaughter needed a blanket to cover my great-grandchild to the car one chilly evening. That was in Jan. I tried to get it returned. And she stated it was the greatest blanket she ever used and would like to keep it. I really did not want to part with it so she started to give it back. I even had it in my hand, then she pouted, so I let her keep it. So here I am again ordering yet another. Thanks for having them still available." - Lisa Poeggel, cleburne, TX
"This blanket is great! I have had one of theese blankets for many years and after constant use and many washings it still looks great. The colors, yellow background, and flower print have "mellowed" a bit but are still beautifully vivid. They are the perfect weight when you need that little extra in the winter or in the summer when we need just a little something more than a sheet. Because of health reasons we will be in separate bedrooms for the summer so I am ordering another another because I miss my blanket. The other blankets are just too heavy." - Dee Potocek, Zion, IL
"The sheet-blanket is the perfect cover. It can be an extra-warm sheet in the winter, and the only cover you need on warm summer nights. It's the best investment I've made in years!" - Kris, Roseburg, OR
"These sheet-blankets are wonderful. Northern California has cool summer nights, and these are a perfect blanket. Grandkids like to roll up in them on the floor for a "nest" when movie watching, or for taking in the car. Easy wash, lightweight, warm, and also snuggly -- love them!" - VIRGINIA DUNTON, San Jose, CA
"We have been using these for years and my family loves them! We recently replaced ours when the old one became worn after at least 10 years! These are so wonderful as a summer blanket and then we use them as an insulating layer under our winter blanket! We also keep a few in the den for snuggling up in to watch tv. Please don't ever stop carrying them!"-Randee Eckstein, Commack, NY"
"I have been looking for a sheet blanket for years and I have purchased many that claimed they were sheet blankets, only to send them back. Finallly a true sheet blanket, like I had when I was a kid, many years ago. These are so warm and just the right weight for that little extra blanket, even in the summer with the AC . I Purchased two and probably after the holidays buy another one." - Anita Ziegler, Palmyra , PA"

Bladder Augmentation-Laparoscopic Surgery
- Home
- Health Information
- Bladder Augmentation-Laparoscopic...
(Augmentation, Bladder—Laparoscopic Surgery; Augmentation Cystoplasty—Laparoscopic Surgery; Cystoplasty, Augmentation—Laparoscopic Surgery)
|The Urinary Tract
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
- An overactive bladder—bladder muscle contracts when it does not need to, causing urine leakage
- A neurogenic bladder—problems with nerve signals leading to the brain and muscles, causing urine leakage or retention
Possible Complications
- Excess bleeding
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Nausea and vomiting
- Bladder rupture
- Abdominal pain
- Switching to open surgery
- Urinary incontinence—may be temporary or require more surgery to fix
- Increased risk of kidney stones
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Order tests, such as blood and urine tests, x-rays, ultrasounds, and bladder pressure studies
Talk to you about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the surgery, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- Antiplatelets
- Eat a low-fiber diet.
- Take antibiotics.
- Cleanse your bowel—You will drink a special liquid that causes loose stool. The liquid may be given through a tube placed in the nose down to the stomach.

How Long Will It Take?
How Much Will It Hurt?
Average Hospital Stay
Post-procedure Care
- Give you fluids and nutrients through an IV—You will not be able to eat until your intestines are working normally. This may take several days. When you are ready, the tube in your nose will be removed. You will begin to take fluids by mouth. You will slowly progress to soft foods.
- Have you take deep breaths to keep your lungs clear
- Encourage you to walk
- Teach you how to insert the catheter through the urethra or through the stoma—Depending on your recovery, the catheter that was placed during surgery may be removed before you go home. If so, you will be taught how to catheterize yourself at home using a tube.
- Teach you how to irrigate the bladder using a salt water solution and a catheter
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
- Take medications as directed.
- Clean the incision areas with warm water and gentle soap.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- If you have a catheter, follow the instructions for taking care of it. You may see bloody urine for a few weeks.
- If you are catheterizing yourself, carefully follow the guidelines for emptying your bladder.
- Irrigate the bladder as directed. This is especially important if you have a piece of the intestine attached to your bladder. The intestine patch will continue to make mucus. This can clog the catheter tube.
- Do not drive or do difficult physical activities until the doctor says it is okay.
- Return to the doctor in 3-4 weeks for x-rays of the bladder.
Call Your Doctor
- Signs of infection such as fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, bleeding, or discharge from the incision and/or stoma site
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Little urine output, extreme cloudiness, pus in the urine, or a bad odor to the urine
- Difficulty with catheterizing or irrigating

Comments about Kayenta Studded:
I have several pairs of water sandals and these are the ones I like best. I find that they are really comfortable (though a little tight for the first few wearings if you have a high arch like I do) and don't have that "athletic shoe" look. They are the sort of shoe you can dress up. This is my go-to travel sandal because it is versatile. I bought a second pair recently. If you are looking for a good all around sandal with decent traction and good looks, this is a winner.

The centerpiece of the film will be bringing to life the Smithsonian Institution, which houses the world's largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections, ranging from the plane Amelia Earhart flew on her nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic and Al Capone's rap sheet and mug shot to Dorothy's ruby red slippers and Archie Bunker's lounge chair.

ALEXANDRIA, VA (November 19, 2013) —The Salvation
Army today announced that it will channel a significant portion of its annual
holiday spend this year through a single comprehensive partnership with
NBCUniversal. With the goal of maximizing exposure and donations for the iconic
Red Kettle Campaign, the partnership will run throughout the season, including
a cross-portfolio roadblock on TV and digital platforms on the second annual
"Giving Tuesday," December 3, 2013. The broadcast campaign will run
across NBCUniversal's portfolio including NBC Broadcast Entertainment, 10
cable networks, syndication properties, two NBC Owned Television Stations and
its digital properties.
Now in its 123rd year, the Red Kettle Campaign runs the day after
Thanksgiving (November 29, 2013) through Christmas Eve (December 24, 2013) and
is the largest and longest-running fundraiser of its kind. The on-air and
online properties involved in the "Giving Tuesday" roadblock
campaign will support the drive for donations during November and December
"We wanted to engage one influential broadcast media partner to make
the most of America's charitable holiday season. While we recognize that
our broadcast budget is that of a nonprofit, we approached NBCUniversal with
the challenge," said Ira Berger, brand media director of national
broadcasting at The Richards Group. "We are immensely grateful to
NBCUniversal for delivering value beyond our expectations with a smart
cross-platform plan and integrated programming."
Additionally, with the objective of engaging one influential media partner
to capitalize on a moment in time when America is looking to give back, The
Salvation Army, together with NBCUniversal, is promoting "Giving
Tuesday" across multiple screens. Created as a national day of giving at
the start of the annual holiday season, and now in its second year,
"Giving Tuesday" celebrates and encourages charitable activities
that support nonprofit organizations.
"Together with The Salvation Army and The Richards Group, we wanted to
activate our wide array of assets during the holiday season to support families
across the country," said Alison Tarrant, executive vice president of the
Client Solutions Group, Advertising Sales, NBCUniversal. "This is a great
illustration of how our Client Solutions Group can help clients harness the
power of our portfolio from a single point of contact."
The partnership includes:
In 2012, the Red Kettle Campaign raised $148.7 million. These donations help
provide meals and shelter for families in need and Christmas toys for millions
of children, among numerous other social services.
"With this year's campaign being five days shorter, which
equates to potentially $20 million less than in previous years, maximizing our
exposure and ability to collect donations is paramount to our success,"
said Major Ron Busroe, national community relations and development secretary
for The Salvation Army. "We are grateful to NBCUniversal and The Richards
Group for building this innovative and impactful partnership that will help The
Salvation Army raise the funds needed to continue our mission of doing the most
good for those in need."
Audiences are encouraged to donate to Red Kettles found on street corners
and at local retailers. People can also become virtual bell ringers by logging
onto onlineredkettle.org and creating their own Online Red Kettle.
The Salvation Army also aims to attract a younger audience through its free
annual Rock the Red Kettle concert in Los Angeles featuring up-and-coming
talent and streamed live online via Facebook. And people can donate $10 by
simply texting the word "KETTLE" to 80888.

established in London in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His name
without discrimination for more than 130 years in the United States. Nearly 30

The Safeway at King Street is currently under review for final engineering and design. The site plan has been released and the building permits are under review. Safeway has indicated that a store closing date has not been set yet. A temporary pharmacy has been located on Marlee Way, preventing any interruption in service for customers. A pre-construction meeting will be held with the community before any demolition or construction is permitted to begin. The overall construction period should last approximately 18 months.
Safeway received approvals from the Planning Commission and City Council to demolish the existing retail building at 3526 King Street and to construct a new 61,949 square foot Lifestyle Safeway and an additional 3,000+ square foot retail building on the site. The project will include building and site improvements, parking facitilies, and all associated infrastructure.

PANAMA CITY — The bulk of some 60 bright-orange clad fishermen stood applauding after Donald Waters delivered testimony Saturday at a congressional hearing in Panama City.
After the crescendo of clapping hands, "we got our word in," came from one of the audience members gather at Florida State University Panama City.
The U.S. House Natural Resources Committee oversight field hearing, titled "Fishing Jobs: How Strengthening America's Fisheries Strengthens Our Economy," was called by chairman of the Natural Resources Committee Doc Hastings, R-Wash., and Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Panama City, to gather information on how data collection and management policies have affected local fisheries.
In turn, the hearing drew concerned commercial fishers from along the Gulf of Mexico.
"With all due respect, we don't need Congress taking us back to the failures of the past," Waters said. "We need you to help us address the changes of the future. . . . Do not turn back the clock, help us conserve our fisheries and jobs for tomorrow."
Many of the commercial fishermen, wearing shirts that read "Keep catch-shares on the table, Keep fish on the table," agreed with Waters' sentiments to not reform current policies. The main concern being on guidelines set by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, which is up for reauthorization as soon as 2013.
"We have a system that is working, or else we wouldn't be here fighting." Waters said.
However, Southerland said the current legislation is not working for all.
"The federal government should have no role in picking winners and losers in hopes of locking up our fisheries with overregulation, free of congressional oversight and public opinion," Southerland said.
Most of the witness testimony during the hearing focused on the reliance on bad data's effects, not just on commercial and recreational fishing jobs, but also small businesses and entire local economies, according to Hastings.
"One of the things that bothered me is a lot of the decisions made were made on old or not accurate data," Hastings said. "There needs to be a closer look at recreational fishing."
Witnesses pointed to arbitrary deadlines and mandates, catch shares, annual catch limits and the National Ocean Policy as alternate causes for review of federal policies.
Approximately 150,000 Floridians are directly employed in fishing-related businesses — 100,000 in the commercial sector and 50,000 in the recreational sector. Florida alone accounts for nearly 40 percent of all marine recreational fishing nationally, with $5.7 billion in total sales from recreational fishing in 2011 and $5.6 billion in commercial sales in 2008.
Gulf of Mexico fisheries are vital to Florida's economy. They are a main target for the recreational boating community, and are highly prized by resident and visiting anglers, according to Ken Wright, chairman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Richard Merrick, director of Scientific Programs and chief scientific advisor of the National Marine Fisheries Service, testified the Magnuson-Stevens Act mandates that all fisheries conservation and management measures must be based upon "the best scientific information available."
"As an avid angler myself, I share serious concerns about a Magnuson-Stevens law that is broken," Southerland said. "For the sake of our fishermen, as well as the operators of marinas, hotels, restaurants and small businesses who rely on their continued success, Congress must commit to making the law more workable and responsive to the needs of our coastal communities."

All major UK ISPs prepping network-level porn 'n' violence filters
Analysis TalkTalk - it would seem - has blazed an unlikely trail for Britain's big name ISPs by being the first telco to switch on network level filtering of web content. Now, after many months resisting the urge to apply such controls to their services, the other major providers - BSkyB, Virgin Media and BT - have all decided to follow suit.
Your correspondent recently chaired an Internet Service Providers' Association event at which the panel and audience discussed how effective current measures were in protecting children online. The confab proved revealing - with BT and Virgin Media publicly stating for the first time that they too would be introducing network-level filters on their services later this year.
As we reported in February, BSkyB confirmed that it had concluded that computer-based parental controls were no longer enough to protect kids who use web-based services on a variety of devices. It will shortly begin filtering content using DNS lookup, the company's policy director Adam Kinsley disclosed during the debate.
And DNS lookup appears to be the preferred method: it's to be adopted by Virgin Media and BT, too.
Some might argue that the country's big name telcos have been strong-armed into agreeing to network-level filtering in a move to avoid regulatory action from the government. Interestingly, the industry's change of heart comes months after Prime Minister David Cameron labelled network-level filtering a "crude system".
He appeared to have softened his original stance at that stage, agreeing that ultimately it was up to parents to decide what their kids should and shouldn't view online. At that point, telcos - apart from TalkTalk with its enthusiasm for network-level blocking - continued to advocate the industry's Active Choice code by offering up software to allow their subscribers to manage the filtering of content on their own computers.
But the mood has now changed and the outcome - according to Sky's Kinsley - is good for public policy.
His company will soon introduce its "whole home" filtering system to customers on an opt-in basis. Kinsley admitted that the system itself was "not perfect" and wouldn't "solve all the problems" associated with protecting kids from supposedly harmful content, but he told me that "it feels like the right thing to do now".
