The gang at Yours Truly are starting a project called Synesthesia and I have jumped on board to help produce future installments of the series. So what is it? I'll let Momo Ishiguro from Yours Truly explain it!
Even if you're not synesthetic (a neurological condition that produces the rare ability to experience separate senses simultaneously), there are times when colors seep through songs and music wafts out of otherwise quiet objects. A certain chord has a blue-gray tint; a certain sculpture sounds like waves crashing on the shore.
In this new series, Yours Truly asks some of the most visual people around to fill us in on the links between sound and vision by paying homage to a sonic artist who has helped them hear colors and sing shapes.

I'm really excited to announce that Booooooom and Yours Truly are joining forces on a project! I've been following their work for awhile now and I'm beaming just thinking about how cool this is gonna be!
If you've never seen their site before you're in for a very unproductive morning! They've spent the past couple years convincing a whole slew of musicians to come and perform in their studio space. Little Dragon, Chromeo, The Morning Benders, Toro Y Moi, Local Natives, Mayer Hawthorne, the list of artists they've worked with is ridiculous.
I'll tell you more about our project tomorrow but in the mean time give these guys a warm welcome, and check out a couple videos below!

Lobsters from Long Island Sound, a fishery in dramatic decline, will be tested for overall health and the presence of pesticides in a new study announced Tuesday by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
This summer, DEEP staff will begin collecting lobsters for the study from throughout the Sound from lobstermen and local buyers, said Dave Simpson, DEEP's director of marine fisheries. The samples will be sent to labs at the University of Connecticut for analysis.
The purpose of the study, DEEP Commissioner Daniel Esty said, is "to obtain a better understanding of why this species - and an industry it has historically supported - is now in danger of collapse in Long Island Sound."
Funding for the study will come from $200,000 allocated by the state legislature for lobster restoration, Simpson said. The study will examine the impact of warming water temperatures and chemical contaminants on the lobster population, which has been declining in the Sound since 1998 to record low levels, and the lobster fishery along with it, DEEP said in a news release.
The decline has been most dramatic in the central and western Sound, where landings have fallen 99 percent since 1998. Landings from the Sound overall have declined from 3.7 million pounds in 1998 to 142,000 pounds in 2011.
Last fall, DEEP staff conducted tests of nine dead and weak lobsters and one healthy one in response to reports from fishermen about seeing many sick and dead lobsters in the western Sound, DEEP said. The 10 lobsters came from an area near Norwalk.
Initial tests of whether the stress of warm water temperatures or bacterial or parasitic infections were responsible for the dead and ill lobsters were inconclusive, DEEP said. Tissue samples from the lobsters were then tested for three pesticides used to control mosquitoes: malathion, methoprene and resmethrin.
The tests showed some of the samples were exposed to resmethrin and one was exposed to methoprene. No malathion was found.
"This was a very surprising result, finding it at all in the lobsters," Simpson said. "We're trying to find out what the likely sources are, and how it found its way into Long Island Sound."
Resmethrin and malathion are used to control mosquitoes through fogging, but small amounts were used in Connecticut in 2011, Simpson said. Both pesticides are also used for general applications such as tick control on land. They decay rapidly and are not expected to accumulate in the environment, DEEP said.
Because of the small number of lobsters tested, researchers could not determine whether the pesticides were responsible for the mortalities. The new study is intended to answer that question, as well as to develop criteria for an overall lobster health assessment based on bloodwork and other indicators, Simpson said.
The study will also consider whether pesticides accumulate in lobsters' internal organs or are flushed out of their systems, and how much of each pesticide is harmful, he added.
"Hopefully, we will get a much better understanding on what these compounds do to lobsters," Simpson said.
Esty said the study will help provide a complete explanation for the decline of the lobster population. The fundamental cause had been attributed to stress from warming fall water temperatures in the Sound, but there may be other contributing factors.
"There has not been a thorough study conducted with the type of sophisticated laboratory tools now available to us," Esty said. "We look forward to launching this study and sharing the results with everyone who has an interest in this critical issue, so we can consider any steps that might reasonably help rejuvenate our lobster population."

Absolutely it will be compatible. I created a Kali Linux bootable USB from an ISO. Just download the ISO on your mac. Unzip it if it is zipped. Then open terminal (use spotlight search if you want). Plug in a USB (be sure to back up the usb if you have anything on it). Make sure the USB is blank by opening disk utility and hitting erase. In terminal type "...
Only for suggestion, you can use kde connect indicator application in ubuntu and kde connect android app to sync notification, transfer files and many other feature. Instruction to install kde connect indicator on ubuntu: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vikoadi/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install indicator-kdeconnect kdeconnect reference: Webupd8
Might be the same problem as: 14.04 Cannot create/delete/manipulate files on my Android device via USB This answer resolved it for me: http://askubuntu.com/a/564452/154516
Here is a quick method . After plugging in USB cable, you just issue: dmesg | grep tty This will output the tty devices detected by kernel, and most .
The 32bit image doesn't work with UEFI (Unless you have Legacy support enabled). Also, try plugging the 3.0 stick into a 2.0 port and see if it works. – the_Seppi Dec 8 '15 at 12:08
@cas' comment in comments is more strict than gvfs-mount because it has also label option, thus avoiding possible complications better; I think Ubuntu use's the label option for stability so I doubt if gvfs-mount --mount is used at all by default mount -L MasiWeek /media/masi/MasiWeek
Go to "Edit Connections..." in the network icon menu. Find the wireless network name that you're connecting to, select it, and click the Edit button. In the Wi-Fi tab, look at Device field, and it'll be blank right now, meaning that any interface can use that wireless network. Use the pop-up arrow at the end of the Device field to select the mac address of ...
Try Wine(Download:https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/i686/winehq-staging-1.9.14.pkg) with Rufus(https://rufus.akeo.ie/?locale=en_US). I hope I could help you.
If the BIOS allows you to boot from a CD, you can boot a USB device by first booting with a plop boot disk You can create a bootable USB linux stick with enter link description here. Test the Ubuntu boot-stick on a known-good PC that can boot from USB first, then try it with the plop boot disk.
Not all laptops and PC's have the ability to boot from a USB device. If the option is not in the BIOS, it is not a feature that is supported. You may want to look into updating your BIOS, a more recent version may support USB booting.
If I understand you correctly, you want to install Windows 10 to a USB device and boot/run Windows from that device. This is not an Ubuntu question, but look at http://lifehacker.com/how-to-run-a-portable-version-of-windows-from-a-usb-dri-1565509124 for a method to allow this. Normally Windows does not run from USB, so never tried it myself.
There are several possible reasons for corruption. It can be that your USB stick is bad (e.g. there are some which lie about their size and corrupt the data at the end). It can be that your image writing software is bad. It seems (from various pages on the internet) that Universal USB installer can incorrectly write files to the USB stick so that was ...
I'm just wondering, why insist on creating the stick with the Mac, when it's probably just a couple of minutes to do it in W10? Or did it fail on the W10 machine too? If El Capitan refuses to give you access to the stick, a long shot is to install a VM and install Linux on the Mac and try from there. Edit: A friend of mine reported problems with an El ...
First make absolutely sure that the USB key is not mounted (if it is, unmount it). Next you should use sudo diskutil list To see if the USB key shows up. If it does, then the "problem" is that it isn't formatted. This is not actually a problem, you can proceed to use it. If the USB key does not show up, there may be driver or hardware problems. In ...
Try using a charge-only USB adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Universal-Charge-Only-Adapter-Android/dp/B00FA9GXKM or something like it. There are also other types of these charge-only adapters that will negotiate charge voltage, but not allow the two devices to connect. Or you could use a charge only usb cable to connect the device.
I found the solution to my problem thanks to some help from the Ubuntu facebook group. Basically i had to use the command sudo apt-get autoremove This is to remove packages installed by other packages which are no longer needed. This fixed every problem that I was having. I hope this helps anybody who is having this problem.
The equivalent to the Ubuntu GUI's mount action for removable media would be gvfs-mount -d device or gvfs-mount --device=device where device is a block device such as /dev/sdb. Note that this command is executed as the owner of the current desktop session, and will mount the device into a directory such as /media/<user>/<label> rather than to ...
Your script is not working because of a spelling error in the definition of PARTITION. Because of this, PARTITION is empty (while PARTION contains what you want) and /dev/$PARTITION becomes /dev/. Note that the variable $USER already contains the username, so no need to set it (unless you want to do the mounting from a different user).
Usually in Linux world all user's own data and configurations are placed in home directory /home/username/ For example Firefox save its profile data in /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/profilename.default So to backup or sync application data between computers you need to find where it stored in your home directory and just copy application's data ...
Your system is never idle. Install Wireshark (wireshark-gtk) and run it for a few seconds to see what the traffic is about. My guess is that you'll see multicast broadcasts and other low-level chatter from other devices on your network.
I successfully made a bootable USB for Ubuntu 16.04 desktop, from my 2011 iMac, using UNetbootin. The Mac installer link is on that main page. Note that if you want to use it to install onto a Mac, there are further hoops to jump through. This howtogeek article should help.
contrary to what the other answers to this question suggest, the da200 adapter is not a displaylink device (unlike its predecessor, i believe). it is a "docking station" adapter that connects to the usb-c port, and provides hdmi, vga, ethernet, and usb ports. currently there seems to be problem with the graphics on this device. the laptop does see an ...
I have a strange problem with a Microchip MCP2200 USB to RS232 adaptor under Ububtu 16.04. Everything looks OK and it receives correctly but for some reason the chip it's supposed to be talking to ignores it.
Have you tried this method? You also may need to format the usb drive as bootable first, use format fs=fat32 To answer your secondary question above, 'Linux box' is a computer with Linux already running
Make sure your BIOS supports booting from USB - all modern PCs have that, but some may have it disabled in BIOS Settings by default - make sure legacy USB is also on if there is such option. If that doesn't work or is not the case, then try a different tool to make the USB bootable. For example, 1/10 cases when I used Unetbootin it didn't work, but with ...
The file system of Ubuntu is not recognized by Windows. There are applications out there that will allow you to mount the Ext4 file system. Do NOT overwrite the MBR as that will prevent you from booting into Ubuntu. EDIT: Here is a helpful link from HowToGeek that will give you 3 applications to mount the drives, but you can only use them as read-only (...
You don't need to install FTDI drivers on Ubuntu. Follow this thread: FDI. This shows you an easy way to make the FTDI work on ubuntu.
To make a FTDI breakout work on Ubuntu: Open the file /etc/group with root permissions: sudo nano /etc/group After that, search for tty:x5: and dialout:x20: Add your user to this groups typing your username in front of each line: tty:x5:<user> dialout:x20:<user> You can also use the next two commands to avoid search for the file: sudo ...
USB wired mouse stops working after some time, lsusb hangs, the /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb folder doesn't open up
You may want to try using the script described by Eli Billauer. The script worked for me up until recently. I am using a USB mouse and keyboard, with a desktop computer (no trackpad). I made a small modification (included ehci-pci interface in addition to xhci), so I'm going to post the exact script that I'm using here so you can compare with what Eli does. ...
You could try overwriting the MBR of the pendrive, with: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/YOUR_DISK bs=512 count=1 You can check the device of YOUR_DISK with sudo fdisk -l. Notice that with this, you will lose the contents of the pendrive, but it should be detected again after that. You will have to format it again afterwards.

This seems to be an issue related to drivers not working starting with Ubuntu's 3.19.0-65 kernel. This is caused by a change made by Canonical whereby kernel and kernel driver signing is now being enforced when secure boot is enabled. During the update process, when a pop-up box asked me to review the secure boot settings, I left them as they were (enabled, ...
Allegedly, AMD support dropped off in 16.04 - and isn't due to return anytime soon. But neither of my machines have anything AMD, and I still had other problems. I'd be willing to bet your problem is not due to your hardware - but live booting/reinstalling an older distro will certainly help you deduce that. The first thing I would try, if I were you - is ...
it's me as well experiencing the same issue. Seems like an issue with the 3.19.0-65 kernel. After some mucking around I simply switched back to 3.19.0-64 by pressing ESC on boot to see GRUB's menu enter "Ubuntu options" select Kernel 3.19.0-64-generic tadaaa
It sounds like using lsusb shows that the drives are being detected, but you're not seeing them mounted on the desktop, or in Nautilus, correct? It looks like one drive has a corrupted partition, and the other has a series of bad blocks that looks like a possible head crash. If the data on these two drives is replaceable via a backup, or the data is not ...
I did a Google on "WD Caviar Green 2TB disable energy saving" and found a number of hits.

I suggest that you unload the driver for the internal device: sudo modprobe -r rtl8188ee And blacklist it: sudo -i echo "blacklist rtl8188ee" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf exit Any improvement? It may take a reboot.
I have exactly the same issue. I run 14.04 on a 2016 XPS 13 Developer-Edition, and after this morning's update the network menu does not contain any wireless device. Wired connection is working fine. As a workaround, after displaying the GRUB menu and booting into the previous kernel (3.19.0-64), the wireless works as before for me. Possibly related ...
To close this thread: I've booted 16.04 from DVD and directed the install process to an USB key of 15.9 GByte which was visible for the installer as sdb. The installation went fine on the 3rd try. After rebooting the installed system from the USB key, I fetched and installed http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7-rc6-yakkety/linux-image-4.7.0-...
I've done this with external HDDs using Ubuntu 16.04, 14.04 and 12.04, I'm assuming that is what you're attempting. I recommend using these as a base to troubleshoot from, then if needed remount the drive. I start with Gparted to identify the device, usually its /dev/sdb1 or similar. Then I find the device, there is a drop down in the top right (at the ...
Use rufus https://rufus.akeo.ie/ and try installing from there
I've had similar problems and found that zeroing out the live usb with dd before reformatting prevents such issues: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd[x] where x should be replaced by the letter of the usb device (e.g. sdb)
1.) When running the installer, just before the error occurs, you will see this cryptic screen: 2)That cryptic little keyboard next to that cryptic little man apparently means "press any key." If you do that, a menu will pop up. First, select a language, then press F6 ("Other Options"). A new menu will pop up; use the arrow keys to move to "nomodeset", and ...
I had similar issue, don't know how to solve it permanently, but what I do to connect to the internet is going to System Settings -> Network -> Mobile Network[or sth like that, I don't have english software], then in the select you choose to add new connection proceed normally. It should connect to the internet, and you should be able to ping 22.214.171.124
You can just point the installer to your usb drive and it should work. Exactly the same as a normal install. Notice that you can also create a live usb with persistence that can be used as an installer and to store your files and install packages.
Try installing Ubuntu Mini instead. It also gives access to a CLI-only installation, which is exactly what I was looking for when I installed it.

This is an old campground which has been here for years, but it is very picturesque. It's very close to town and Chimney Rock Park. Most of this campground is set up for seasonals. They save a few sites on the river for transients. The interior roads are narrow and bumpy. I think a big rig would have trouble. The sites are pretty short, but we were fine in our 33' motorhome. There's a constant roar from the river, but it would be great for kids in the summer...huge boulders to climb on! The bathrooms have not been updated in years. We used the ones in the far section, and they were functional but very rustic.....but lots of hot water. Their reviews don't say they have WiFi, but they do, and it worked fine. - mom2wildlife

Access is by winding mountain roads and campground itself is very hilly. Some sites are right on the river which is delightful and perfect for a cool dip on a hot day. There is a playground for children, and the campground is close to Chimney Rock State Park and Lake Lure. The owners are so very helpful. We needed a nut for one of our bikes, and the owner drove to town to get one for us. The washers and dryers were great since we had laundry to do. The sites are shady and well-maintained. There are many permanent renters so plan in advance. The park filled while we were there, and many were turned away. - BarbaraJohnson

Owners were extremely nice but I agree with the 5 reviews below. Not really big rig friendly: you can get in, but it's very, very tight. Only 2 sites with 50 amp. Oddly the site for motorhome only was 30 amp. It worked well all week though. Everything is old and could use some cleaning. More permanent sites than daily. It's a great area: very peaceful. Would stay here again but those 9-star ratings here are misleading. - BAR and Me

We camped at this campground over Memorial Day Weekend in 2000, 2001, and 2002 and never saw the owner being disrespectful to anyone. That being said, he ran a tight ship and seemed to be everywhere. We drove through Lake Lure on August 13, 2005 and everything in the campground is gone. The office, buildings, cabins, nothing remains. Grass is growing where the buildings used to be. We really liked this campground and it made us a little sad to see it closed. - Lee W

Many seasonal/permanent campers, but there was plenty of room for all. The river rises and falls according to the dam water release decisions at Lake Lure, which is the upstream source of water. The owners live on site and are very friendly and helpful folks. Nights are quiet and everything works well. We will return. The campground is near a huge Ingle's Supermarket between Lake Lure and Rutherfordton, and the road south connects with new Highway #74 to Shelby and east, or I-26 going west. - onejimmiedog

This is a delightful small campground on the Broad River. We had no trouble backing our 34 ft. fifth wheel into our site. The owners also are on site and manage the park. The bathrooms, while basic, are obviously well tended. Tent sites are directly on the river. The main draw here is the river which runs quickly when the dam is open which is usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday. For a $10 per person you can rent a large tube and get shuttled up river for a two hour ride back. Five of us did it while we stayed here and then twelve family members returned while we attended a reunion close by. This is not a "resort" type place but more of a retreat. Even though the river is the main draw, this is safe, quiet, and rural. We stayed for six days and would gladly return. - TailsAwagging

This park is located in a rural part of western NC, between the Broad River and a small creek. The owner-operators were very friendly. Most sites are shaded and level, about average size, with gravel pads for the rigs and concrete for the picnic tables. Most of the waterfront sites are reserved for monthlies. There's a dog walk area, playground, pet walk, and game room with pool tables. The park has propane. No dump station, but it appears that all of the RV sites are full hookup. The river flows at a trickle on weekends, and during the week the dam is opened upstream, which allows tubing and canoeing on the river. If you plan to come here for boating or fishing, be sure to call the park and verify the water flow for that day. - silvertube

Great time, staff was extremely great. We did have a difficult time due to lots of trees, both traveling to the site, and in the site, which made it difficult for a 44 foot, 5th wheel plus truck. Tree rubs were unavoidable. - svcrews

Definitely dog centric campground. Dogs had a great time and the deck/fenced in area was nice for them to be off leash.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and well kept. We're new to RV'ing but from where we've stayed so far, this park seems a bit pricey for the area.
Cell coverage (Verizon) is 2 bars at best if that's important for you to know. - Rickman

We are staying here for the week of Thanksgiving, 2015. It is our second stay here this year. The owners, along with their team of work campers, are absolutely the best! Everyone works so hard to make you and your dogs feel welcome and safe. The other campers here are so nice; it is a wonderful community feeling. It has easily made it into our list of top favorite parks.
This campground caters specifically to dogs and their owners. The multiple dog parks, agility course, rally obedience park, fenced-in lake area, everything is designed for you and your four-legged family to enjoy. For those who travel with their dogs and want them to have a great experience, this is the place! No children or amenities for children. However, doggy amenities abound.
The sites are terrific. I personally recommend one of their deluxe sites with a deck and private fenced in dog area but they are all quite nice. Level sites with easy connections to all utilities. Our water heater in the coach went out just before we left on this trip. This has allowed us to utilize the bath house. It is most certainly one of the cleanest bath houses I have ever used. Plenty of hot water for my shower!
Of course, the main attraction here are the many dog amenities. Our dogs are enjoying all of the dog parks and getting to play with others. It has been a great part of our socialization training with them both. We really like the hiking trails and the lake.
With the holiday week, there are plenty of special activities. The group Thanksgiving meal was wonderful. It was so nice to meet people and share the meal. Today, we participated in a just-for-fun agility contest. Lots of barking, cheering, laughing, and fun for humans and dogs alike.
We will definitely return again! - j_dax

The only thing this park has to offer is the proximity to the Freightliner facilities. We stayed here while attending Camp Freightliner. We had booked a pull-through site but on check-in they tried to tell us that they use the pull-through sites as 2 back-in spots on the weekends. The campground was having trouble with electricity that day and the power was off for several hours. We could not open one of our slides because of trees. The campground was crowded with old, poorly maintained trailers and lots of junk. Not worth the price. We dry camped in the Freightliner facility our last night and were happier there! - Bunci

Have to give them credit for finding us a space when most every park in a 30 mile radius was full.
Now, site sloped a good 10 inches or more front to back. Walk upright under overhang and 4 inches clearance on back. Upper tier sites all drained down through this site when it rained.
Staff pleasant but couldn't help situation.
Had to beat leveling blocks out of the ground upon hooking up because they sank.
Dog park okay but people, PLEASE pick up after your pets
Last night there paid to be moved to overnight spot because we couldn't hook the rig to the truck for early departure. Besides being very unlevel we would have blocked the entire loop road. Monthly sites need some serious work.
Parked tow vehicle in grass beside trailer.
If you are monthly check site before you do your paperwork. We took what was available at the time.
Staff nice but can't do much for you. I don't think they have looked at the sites and were working from a map.
Red mud and take fire ants. You will have lots of both.
Coworkers parked on the "flat shaded side" seemed to have none of the problems we had. - 2dogsandacatfulltime

The proprietors are super nice and extremely helpful. We were given a pull-thru, which was great, but up by the office there is clutter and things aren't as tidy as they should be - overturned trash cans, boxes, etc. I think camping in the back would be better for scenery, as it is a scenic place, but those are back-ins. For one night, the pull thru was great, but if you want to spend a few days, go towards the back. Also, they have their own unbundled firewood and they are very generous with it. That one fact made up for everything else. There is a nice pool, too. It was easy to get to, with excellent roads. - Autigerinnc70

We stayed for 4 days, and the staff was very friendly. They gave us a great site. It's a good location, and nice & quiet. Some of the sites didn't look like they were open yet, but it was early in the season. There were a number of seasonal renters. Some of their campsites were neat and clean. Others not so much. We would definitely stay here again! - Bruce R

Overall we would return here. That being said, this place could use some updating/upkeep. I guess I would sum it up as dated. The roads are gravel and quite a dust storm is created anytime a vehicle is on it. As in, they need gravel. They did pour gravel and repair some ruts while we were here, which is a good thing. This place is very family friendly, especially for the kids. The staff was great to deal with. There are plenty of activities to participate in. They let the general public in during the day which overwhelms the pool and waterslide. They shut it down at 4 and then it's just campers from 5-8. We rented a golf cart and they are quite old. It did run, so there is that. Awfully expensive for what you get. I'm a fan of camo duct tape but not so much when it's holding the seat on my golf cart! If you pay extra for the VIP pass then you can use the boats, canoes and putt putt. Again, all dated. My wife was not impressed with the bath house, I never set foot in there, but could tell it was no where big enough for the volume of campers. Overall for the price does not match the quality of the facility. - skiles

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. Even though my husband and I do not have kids its great to take my parents and enjoy the scenery, ride the golf cart and attend planned activities (bingo, dancing and fireside stories). We will continue to camp in this location as it is family oriented and peaceful :) - Jaretaz

We stayed over Easter weekend. Park was clean and well maintained. We had a creek view pull through (33ft w/2sides) full hookup site. Pool was closed but other amenities were open. Activities were plenty even in early season. Lake nice plenty of boats and fishing spots. Lots of activities for young ones as well. Would definitely stay again. Only down side was park office closed very early each night (3 pm). No wifi or Cable. Cell service was bad as well. - Campmom72

Please be aware that the pictures for this campground on the internet are completely different that what you will see. The campground is very small and there are mostly cabins and very old ratty permanent campers here. There are very few sites for rvs. The stream is about 2 inches deep and fishing is not going to happen. The sewer hook ups for all the sites are at the front door of the next camper, so you will smell sewer gas the whole visit. There are also campsites in front of others on the creek, so this could lead to people getting blocked in. The campsites are just poorly laid out with very little room. There are just better options. We will not stay here again. For the price, there are just better options. The owners are very nice and they have taken over this campground for about a year. There is just too much work that still needs to be done. The sewer system is unacceptable. You've been warned. - 30-30man

We made a reservation to stay here and had a late arrival. Upon arrival we were given a site number and sent along our way. The first site we saw had a broken down truck on it with flat tires and cans running over in the bed. The bath house didn't look like anything I would let my children go in. Lot's of campers looked like they had been there for ages. The roads were rough and in need of repair. We decided to leave, and as we pulled up to the office there were two people outside, and the first thing I heard was, "What's wrong" and not in a friendly way. I informed them it wasn't what was advertised, and the male told the female to give us our money back. She complained and gripped the entire time trying to make me feel like I had done something wrong. Never did get a refund since I made an online reservation. I hope these people get this place cleaned up; it looked as if it could be a really nice campground with some work. Most of all I hope the lady there gets a better attitude towards customers. - User1595

Owner decided to put us in a site next to her house outside of the main camping area. We thought that we were in the overflow area, but discovered the next morning that less then a third of the campground were in use and of those sites in use most were permanent setups. Why she put us in the site she did is beyond me, but as we were only going to be there one additional night it would have been more trouble to move to a different site. The site we were in provided no appreciable camping experience. As we said, the site was located in the owner's side yard. We couldn't use the picnic table because it was within 3 feet of the sewer access and was a child size setup. Our view on that side of the travel trailer was of a metal garden shed butted up to the pad the picnic table was on, an old mobile home being used as storage or a workshop, a rusting pickup truck and a gaggle of rusting lawn equipment. We were so close to the road that ran up into the main camping area that we could not deploy our awing or light a fire due to concerns that it might interfere with traffic. Though the campground was fairly quiet the weekend we were there, there was evidence of 4 wheelers and dirt bikes having been run through various campsites in the main area. As for the amenities, the swimming pool was one that you would have in the back yard of your home, the putt putt golf setup was less than 5 holes, we didn't see the game room which was housed in a metal building. The camp store where we checked in was dirty and clearly in need of being spruced up. This is a family run campground and we got the impression that the family might have taken on more than they could easily take care of. The campground roads and some of the sites were in need of scraping and regraveling and our site plus the site next to us should not exist. The owners also have a u-haul franchise set up at the entrance and their whitewater equipment as well. There was little if any evidence of security and people roamed the area all day and night. We will not be going back to this campground as we do not feel that we were treated to a good camping experience. The owners do not seem to care much about their campground or their customers. With a lot of TLC this campground could be spectacular, but I am doubtful it will happen. - cottagecrafters

Urinary Obstruction
- Author: Michael A Policastro, MD; Chief Editor: Erik D Schraga, MD more...
Practice Essentials
Urinary obstruction is a blockage of the flow of urine out of the body. It is a common cause of acute and chronic renal failure and may result from a wide variety of pathologic processes, intrinsic and extrinsic to the urinary system. Symptoms and signs of obstruction are often mild, occurring over long periods of time and requiring a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. Early recognition and treatment are the keys to preventing renal loss.
Signs and symptoms
Most acute obstructive uropathies are associated with significant pain or abrupt diminution of urine flow; however, chronic urinary obstruction is insidious and requires a careful history and a high index of suspicion. The following may be noted in urinary obstruction:
Pain (most common symptom in acute obstruction but typically absent with slowly obstructing conditions)
Altered patterns of micturition
Acute and chronic renal failure
Gross or microscopic hematuria
Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI)
New-onset or poorly controlled hypertension secondary to obstruction and increased renin-angiotensin
Polycythemia secondary to increased erythropoietin production in the hydronephrotic kidney
History of recent gynecologic or abdominal surgery
See Clinical Presentation for more detail.
Physical exam
The physical examination should include the following:
Evaluation for signs of dehydration and intravascular volume depletion; peripheral edema, hypertension, and signs of congestive heart failure from fluid overload may be observed in obstruction from renal failure
Palpable kidney or bladder (indicative of a dilated urinary collection system)
Rectal or pelvic examination to help determine whether enlargement of pelvic organs is a possible source of urinary obstruction.
Examination of the external urethra for phimosis or meatal stenosis
Lab studies
Laboratory studies that may be helpful include the following:
Urinalysis and examination of sediment
Urinary diagnostic indices (eg, sodium, creatinine, osmolality)
Serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate), as well as blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, calcium, phosphate, magnesium, uric acid, and albumin
Complete blood count (CBC)
Imaging studies
The goals of any imaging study are to distinguish anatomic etiologies from functional forms of collecting system dilation and to identify the site of blockage. Imaging studies that may be considered include the following:
CT – Helical CT (especially without contrast) rapidly is replacing kidneys-ureters-bladder (KUB) x-rays as the first step in the radiologic evaluation of the urinary system
MRI - Where available, MRI quickly is becoming the imaging study of choice for urinary obstruction
IV pyelography (IVP) – IVP is the procedure of choice for defining the extent and anatomy of obstruction
Invasive pyelography – This modality provides the same information as IVP without depending on renal function and can be used when the risks of IVP are considered too great
Ultrasonography – This is the procedure of choice for determining the presence of hydronephrosis
See Workup for more detail.
The overriding therapeutic goal is reestablishment of urinary flow. Before specific therapy for obstruction is initiated, the life-threatening complications of obstructive uropathy must be investigated and treatment started.
Once urinary obstruction is under consideration, a transurethral bladder catheter should be placed:
If the catheter is properly placed and fluid returns freely, the catheter tip is probably in the bladder, and obstruction above the bladder should be investigated; if a question still remains, imaging studies may be used to establish proper placement
If a large PVR volume is noted, obstruction below the bladder should be investigated; catheter drainage should be maintained until the etiology of the obstruction is treated appropriately
Urine should be drained completely and rapidly from an obstructed bladder; prolonged urine stasis only predisposes the patient to UTI, urosepsis, and renal failure
A urologist should be consulted when a transurethral catheter cannot provide adequate bladder drainage
Calculi are the most common causes of unilateral ureteral obstruction. The following considerations apply:
Most small renal calculi pass spontaneously; conservative treatment typically suffices
Surgical drainage is necessary only for patients with unrelenting pain, UTI, or persistent obstruction
The position of the stone in the ureter determines the preferred method of removal
Calculi in the renal pelvis and proximal ureter are amenable to nephroscopy and removal under direct visualization
Percutaneous nephrostomy drainage is used for midureteral stones
Distal ureter stones can be removed cystoscopically by the use of a loop or basket
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is another viable option for stones in any position in the ureter
Bilateral obstruction of the ureters is almost always asymmetric. The following considerations apply:
For midureteral or proximal ureteral obstruction, percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement is indicated
For distal obstruction, cystoscopic placement of a ureteral stent can be attempted
In case of suspected urosepsis from bilateral ureteral obstruction, bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy tubes must be placed
For obstruction of prostatic origin, medical therapy for benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) has provided a very successful alternative to surgical therapy but should not be offered to individuals presenting with absolute indications for surgical intervention (eg, recurrent urinary retention, recurrent UTIs, renal insufficiency, bladder calculi, recurrent gross hematuria).[1]
See Treatment and Medication for more detail.
Urinary obstruction is a common cause of acute and chronic renal failure. A wide variety of pathological processes, intrinsic and extrinsic to the urinary system, can cause obstruction. Symptoms and signs of obstruction are often mild, occurring over long periods of time and requiring a high index of suspicion for diagnosis.
Because the degree and duration of obstruction are the chief determinants of renal dysfunction, early recognition and treatment are the keys to preventing renal loss. Urinary obstruction should be viewed as a potentially curable form of kidney disease.
Normal urine production in an adult is about 1.5-2 L/day. Urine flow depends on 3 factors—a pressure gradient from the glomerulus to the Bowman capsule, peristalsis of the renal pelvis and ureters, and the effects of gravity (ie, hydrostatic pressure).
Obstruction of the urinary tract at any level eventually results in elevation of intraluminal ureteral pressure. With prolonged obstruction, ureteral peristalsis is overcome and increased hydrostatic pressures are transmitted directly to the nephron tubules.
As pressures in the proximal tubule and Bowman space increase, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls. After 12-24 hours of complete obstruction, intratubular pressure decreases to preobstruction levels. If complete obstruction is not relieved, a depressed GFR is maintained by decreases in renal blood flow mediated by thromboxane A2 and angiotensin II (AII). With continued obstruction, renal blood flow progressively falls, resulting in ischemia and incremental nephron loss. Thus, obstructive uropathy may lead to obstructive nephropathy. Several phases of obstructive nephropathy may be seen, including an early hyperemia and a late vasoconstriction followed by regulation of GFR post obstruction. Recovery of GFR depends on the duration and level of obstruction, preobstruction blood flow, and coexisting medical illness or infection.
No data are available on incidence and prevalence of urinary obstruction in unselected populations. Most epidemiologic studies of obstruction are in selected populations or autopsy studies. In large surveys of elderly men for symptoms of urinary obstruction, a prevalence of 20-35% has been estimated. Most (60%) of the men surveyed with moderately severe to severe symptoms of prostatism did not consult their physicians with these symptoms. Postmortem examinations have found hydronephrosis in 3.8% of adults and 2.0% of children.
Urinary tract obstruction may lead to acute or chronic renal insufficiency or overt kidney failure. Obstruction may lead to a salt-losing nephropathy and urinary concentrating defects. Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) type IV, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesia, and hypophosphatemia are common sequelae of chronic obstruction. Although acute or chronic obstruction may cause urinary tract infection (UTI), other sequelae such as renal calculi, hypertension, and polycythemia are associated with a chronic setting. Ascites is a common sequela of neonatal obstruction syndrome. In cases of acute obstruction, a postobstructive diuresis following relief of the problem is well described.
In adults, incidence and etiology of urinary obstruction vary significantly with the age and sex of the patient. In young and middle-aged men, renal calculi are the most common cause of at least temporary urinary obstruction. Rare cases of obstructive uropathy due to seminal vesicle cyst and appendiceal mucocele have been reported. In young and middle-aged women, gynecologic surgery, pregnancy, and cancers of pelvic organs are important etiologies of obstruction.
Special considerations in pediatric patients include acquired or congential urethral stricture, congenital ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) or ureterovesical junction (UVJ) obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux, and urolithiasis.
After age 60 years, urinary obstruction is most common in men secondary to prostatic hypertrophy; prostate cancer accounts for occasional cases.
