I don't know if it's that they are related or that they normally take out your gallbladder when they can't figure out what is wrong with you. They removed mine before my Crohn's diagnosis because it was their "best guess as to what is wrong."

I don't have problem with my gallbladder but I know lots of people who have gallbladder problems that end up with intestinal problems also. Seems to me like there is a correlation.

I've always wondered about
a correlation between gb's and digestive orders. I had mine out July 08 and was told that afterwards diarrhea was normal, so when I started having symptoms of IBD it was passed off. However my mom had hers out and hasn't had a problem

I had mine removed in april last year, stones, ALOT of horrible nausea.
The nausea improved.
I think they are related, I read about
alot of people on this forum who have had it done, but I dunno.
Alot of people I meet in their 30's have had it done. My sister had her's removed last year too, she is a few years younger than me, and has no intestinal trouble. It is one of the most common operations performed.

Dr thought my gallbladder was acting up recently, but turns out I have gastroparesis. LOTS of nausea with vomiting and pain, pain, pain. I think when one has crohn's or any sort of digestive issues, the entire digestive tract is at risk for problems.

There are higher rates of gall bladder disease in Crohns patients, but I dn't know of any reverse causality -- that gall bladder disease leads to Crohns. It is pretty common, I believe, for people who have their gall bladders rmeoved to experience some months of D from the bile being dumped directly into the bowel (it used to be pumped out by the gall bladder when needed) but that usually resolves after time, or with meds. Bottom line seems to be that having Crohns can make you more susceptible to gall bladder problems, probably from the inflammatory process, but that gall bladder issues don't lead to Crohns. Lots of people have their gall bladders removed with no accompanying GI problems. The primary risk factors for gall bladder disease are still the 5 Fs medical students learn -- female, fat (overweight), fertile (having had children), fair (caucasian) and forty (age).

I agree 100% with MikeB. I do not believe it causes Crohns, but it definetly goes bad for alot of people with Crohns. Mine was removed not because of stones, but because I developed a filmy like substance that separated my GB into two parts and was giving me grief.

My GI told me that people with Crohn's, especially in their small intestines, are at higher risk to have issues with their gallbladder. We thought I might've had stones, but fortunately I don't.

Valerie3 is right! Crohn's can cause gallstones to develop in your gallbladder, leading to gallbladder removal. This is one of the lovely extra-intestinal manifestations of the disease. I had mine taken out due to gallstones only a few months after I was diagnosed with Crohn's. Unfortunately, those of us without a gallbladder tend to send the bile directly into our digestive tract, which also causes diarrhea. So, sometimes, it's hard to tell whether you're having a Crohn's flare, or if it's just the lack of a gallbladder. Although, usually, this is food related. I have IBS on top of it, so I really have 3 things causing these symptoms. Hope you feel better!

I was told that the small intestines reabsorbs bile acids and with Crohns this is hindered, if not impossible, due to scar tissue, surgery. Without being able to recycle the bile acids the bile then becomes like sludge, and stones develop. Removing the gallbladder won't change that, as the ducts can still become clogged, so I've decided to wait until it's absolutely necessary before I undergo the surgery. Just my two cents worth.

My GI doc said there is a link between cd and gallbladder problems. I had my gallbladder removed when I was 21 (fistful of stones). I was diagnosed with CD in March 2009 after a 5-day stay in hospital for intestinal blockage. Other problems are rapidly showing up since then, but I think I'm supposed to post about
those elsewhere. Just thought I'd throw this info out there for all.

When I had my gallbladder out about
4 years ago, I was told that people with CD have a higher chance of their gallbladder going bad and have to have them removed. I had to fight with my doc about
mine though. I went to the ER with a lot of pain, nausea and a lot of vomiting. I was seen right away and given meds. The dr on duty though kept thinking it might be the CD and because he didn't have my records he was unsure of everything. I had a number of test done. Sonagram showed a lot of stones and another test showed a blockage at the gallbladder. After them the dr still wasn't convinced. I kept telling him that I know my CD and this is definetely not the CD. I really wish dr's would listen to their patients. I spent the whole weekend in pain because g-d forbid a dr would work on the weekend. On Monday, he finally decided to remove the gallbladder. After he removed it, he told me it was the worst looking gallbladder he had ever seen. What a moron...maybe if he would have listen to me and the test results, it wouldn't have been so bad.
Long story short, Gall bladder removal, IMHO, doesn't cause problems but are a symptom. You might not have known about
the intestinal problems but the removal will probably make it worse from the trauma of the surgery.

Hi all!
I am new to the board and have had Crohn's Disease since 1994. I am 36 years old, married with 3 kids. I have been on assorted meds but for the last 7 years I have been on azathioprine (imuran). I am currently in remission and for the most part feel really well as far as Crohn's.
For the past several years I occasionally feel a terrible pain and bloating in my stomach area just below my sternum. My GI gave me an ultrasound about
6 years ago for this but said he didn't see anything and told me it was IBS. I was literally embarrassed and thought I was wasting his time. I continued to have that issue very occasionally for the next several years and just dealt with it. This past 6 months I have noticed an increase in frequency of these symptoms. I have taken 3 Tums nightly for at least a year or I wake up with terrible heartburn and reflux. Last month the pain woke me out of a dead sleep. I thought I was having a heart attack! I took more tums and belched it out after a good 45 minutes of hell. The past several weeks I have lost my appetite and only desire bland food like rice cereal, cream of wheat, pot pies at the most. This week I have had 3 "attacks" in 3 days. I had 1/2 a burger a few days ago and got instantly bloated, pain in my abdomen and a terrible upper back ache. Last night I had cream of wheat for dinner and had all of those symptoms plus the tightness in my chest. After lunch today I had all of those symptoms. I am sure dinner will just add to my misery so I will likely avoid it altogether.
Does this sound like a gallbladder issue to you? My gut instinct says yes. I have a feeling it has been colicky for a few years and now it is finally to the point where I need to do something.
My worst fear is having another ultrasound and being told it is nothing again. It is embarrassing and hurtful to feel like your doctor thinks it is all in your head. I know my Crohn's and what that feels like. This is definitely not that and feels much more than just like reflux disease. How did you bring up your issues to your doctor to get them to realllly listen to you?
I am also worried because I just started a new job less than 2 months ago. I am already scheduled for some female surgery early January. Hey, I wonder if they can just take of it all at once!
Thanks for your reply. It is nice to meet you all.

ps. If the symptoms are still present after six years, and are not intensifying, then I think they definitely need to be checked out! It's not all in your head, and if your doctor tries to put you off with the results of a scan done in 2005, then it might be time to find a new doctor.

If it is just acid reflux there are plenty of more effective remedies like omeprazole that you can buy over the counter without needing a prescript
ion (well can in UK and think it availlable in US as well). You could try this and see if it improves and then talk to your GP about
what symptoms you have and what you have tried, don't think things like tums are that effective really. Whatever it is it needs to be looked into as it is getting worse for you and stopping you eat. Go and see your GP and explain what has been happening and you're concerned as it is getting much worse. Even if they do a scan and gallbladder is fine, it is not a waste of time and you shouldn't feel like you are being a nuisance.

After I had my GB removed is when all heck broke lose. I've had 'bathroom' issues my whole life but after I had my GB removed is when all my Crohn's symptoms came(deffinately not the same as my past bowel problems but still)and a year later I got my diagnosis. Crohn's and other autoimmune issues run in my family but maybe the GB removal was the straw that broke (my) camel's back? I think it can deffinately be a trigger.

I think most gallbladder problems give you a sharp pain on the right side linked directly to high-fat meals. What you're describing sounds more to me like gastritis, probably due to your Crohn's but who knows! I agree it's time to call your GI.

yourself. Welcome to the forum Misslaurie.

I had my gallbladder removed in 1995 and was promised that I would then feel wonderful. But I felt worse--and wound up being diagnosed with CD in 1999 (and needing immediate, emergency surgery). My current doctor has implied that removing my gallbladder was a stupid medical decision. I now suffer with never-ending diarrhea (mostly composed of sludge and bright-green bile), attributable to both the gallbladder surgery and my resection. Sucks.

Tapjoy, at NY Games Conference, Sees More Ads Coming to Mobile Games
(Page 2 of 2)
attract attention. Web-style banner ads have become rather passé and Sapp believes brands are eager to leverage the innovation that mobile games offer.
He cites the business model used by Smule, a Palo Alto-based developer of social music-making apps, which lets advertisers sponsor songs for users. "That's a cool way to allow a brand to be associated with unlocking content and getting their name in front of millions of eyeballs," Sapp says.
Other types of incentives from brands, such as daily rewards when players log in regularly to games, are also on the rise among casual mobile games, he says. The objective is to find nonintrusive ways to infuse the sector with marketing revenue.
"Zynga is obviously interested in this and they've already built a team to go after these types of relationships," he says. Smaller game developers such as FreshPlanet in New York, Sapp says, likely don't have their own resources to pursue marketing deals with big brands. "It becomes important for them to tap into ad networks that already have these relationships in place," he says.
Sapp believes that finding more ways to monetize mobile games is essential to growing developer studios beyond tiny teams. In particular, he sees marketing that coaxes the public to make purchases while playing as a vital source of potential revenue. "You need to build games where users are making in-app purchases," he says.
That can include using ads tied to extras and bonuses related to the game play. "While players may hesitate to take out their credit cards, they might be willing to unlock in-game currency by watching a video ad," he says.
Though San Francisco is a well-known hub for video game development, Sapp says other cities are seeing their share of upstarts, particularly for mobile games. "There are important indie developer communities. New York is one, Vancouver is one, Boston is one," he says. "There's still a lot of room here and a lot of developers will find success on mobile in the next year or two as the community matures."

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
"We must stay anonymous because of threats we have recieved [sic] via e-mail and in person when protesting concerts," read the press release from Mothers Against Noise, a group claiming to be based in San Diego and San Francisco. When I checked out mothersagainstnoise.us, a "Top Offenders Watch List" of around a dozen bands included the warning, "Don't let your child be negatively effected [sic] by music that is design [sic] to cause them harm."
My suspicion increased after reading, "Since our site began, many bands have tried to promote their vile music by submitting themselves to be on the [Watch] List, and we do not want to encourage this." The band Wolf Eyes is listed on mothersagainstnoise.us as well as mothersagainstnoise.com, mothersagainstnoise.org, mothersagainstnoise.net, and mothersagainstnoise.info. No other band is listed on all the sites.
The first press reference to the alleged mad moms was made by John Olson of the band Wolf Eyes, who claimed in an October 2004 article for Detroit's Metro Times that the band was picketed in San Diego by Mothers Against Noise before a gig.
"It all started when a mother was really upset when her kid came to our show and got all messed up on his way home," Olson claimed. Shortly after that interview, the anti-noise websites began appearing, with Wolf Eyes on all the "ban" lists. At register.com, the same Washington, D.C., address is listed as being behind all the "mothers" websites; each site claims the others are "imposters."

Skyrim - Editorial @ Eurogamer
by Couchpotato, 2014-04-28 05:35:24
Eurogamer's Tony Coles has written a new article for Skyrim where he writes about how Bethesda's open world game remains as fresh as ever. Here is a sample.
How often have you gone back to a game you thought you'd exhausted, only to find it full of prospects and potential? In a fallow period for vast open-world RPGs, a lazy visit to see my Skyrim house opened more than furniture filled with hard-earned goodies. Nostalgia took hold and prompted a look at my open quests list, and from there I was picking up the threads of a game that had laid dormant for a good 18 months.

We could do that by making virConnectOpenAuth take a new VIR_CONNECT_COPY_CRED_RESULT (or VIR_CONNECT_DONT_FREE_CRED_RESULT or VIR_CONNECT_CONST_CRED_RESULT) flag that lets libvirt internally strdup() cred.result before passing it to the driver. That way the C# bindings could pass a managed string as cred.result and we don't need to Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto() and strdup in C# at all. Or we could make libvirt take a custom free function to free cred.result instead of free(). That way Marshal.FreeHGlobal could be used or no free function at all and you pass a managed string to it. This would probably require a new version of virConnectOpenAuth and I consider this as too invasive. Another possibility would be to add a public virAlloc to libvirt that C# can use to allocate memory that can be freed using free(). Matthias

Minister Ramanath Rai Releases Book of "Sadhaneya Mooru Varshagalu"
Mangaluru: District Minister in-charge Ramanath Rai released a book on the state Congress government's achievements in the last 3 years, "Sadhaneya Mooru Varshagalu", at the DC office here, on May 24.
After releasing the book, Ramanath Rai said that after Congress returned to power in the state in May 2013, the Siddaramaiah government has fulfilled 85% of the promises which were mentioned in their manifesto during the elections.
Rai briefed on the development projects and schemes. In the district, 421,682 families have ration cards out of which there are 25,460 Anthyodaya, 190,563 BPL and 205,659 APL cards. Recently, 14,026 BPL and 6665 APL cards had been distributed in the district.
Under the Anna Bhagya scheme, 696,809 metric tons of rice and 143,411 metric tons of wheat were distributed to Anthyodaya card holding families. For BPL card holders, 3151.903 metric tons of rice and 777,914 metric tons of wheat has been distributed free of cost.
As promised, under the Ksheera Bhagya scheme, milk was distributed to 108,825 government school children and 69,752 aided school children. Milk is also being served to 114,069 children in 2,012 Anganwadi schools. For 4,820 girl students, scholarships amounting to Rs 22.53 lakh has been disbursed to pursue their education. Under the Bala Sanjeevini scheme, 178 children have been treated.
In Wenlock Hospital, a 50 bedded Ayush block has been sanctioned and check-up for outpatients will begin soon. As far as drinking water is concerned Rs 5.60 crore for rural areas, Rs 3.40 crore for town/city and Rs 98 lakh for the Revenue Department has been sanctioned.
Rs 295.43 lakh has been spent till March 31, 2016, for natural calamities. Under the social security scheme, 107,052 beneficiaries such as widows, elderly people, physically challenged and transgenders have been given monthly pension. Through the Revenue Adalat, 369 hearings have been organized. During the adalat, 31,951 applications were received, out of which 31,285 have been disposed of. Under the Bidai scheme, Rs 468 lakh was distributed to 936 beneficiaries. Rs 4.02 crore worth of nutritious food has been distributed to Koraga and Malekudiyas; also, an MoU had been signed with high-tech hospitals for free treatment of Koraga and Malekudiya community.
Under the third phase of Rs 100 crore projects, 169 development projects had been initiated. Under the Matsyashraya scheme, Rs 67.68 lakh has been distributed to 146 beneficiaries. In four places, work on jetties is under progress.
2,995 Endosulfan victims are receiving a monthly pension. The government has waived off Rs 30.49 crore loan with interest borrowed by 21,283 beneficiaries from SCs, STs, OBCs and minorities. This year we have increased the scholarship for Minority students who are willing to pursue their higher education in foreign countries from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 Lakh.
On April 21, the Chief Minister laid the foundation for an international level swimming pool at a cost of Rs 4.99 crore. In Belthangady and Bantwal, construction work of the Mini Vidhana Soudha is under progress. An oceanarium will be built in Pilikula and the government has sanctioned Rs 15 crore towards this.
When asked about the Yettinahole project, Rai questioned where were the protesters when the BJP government implemented the project? "What was NRSS member Satyajith doing then? When Siddaramaiah comes to Mangaluru, the protesters show black flags. What is Satyajith doing when Yeddyurappa gives statements on Yettinahole project? Was he sleeping?" Rai also said, "I have worked for the betterment of the people in my political career. When the CM called for a meeting, the protesters did not come for discussion. Is the festival bigger than Yettinahole for them? If the festival is the priority, then let them sit at home, why are they even fighting against Yettinahole?"
Regarding the government's failure to stop the sand mining, Rai said that the sand is being transported through trains and trains cannot be stopped. "An investigation will have to be conducted and those who are responsible for transporting sand to Kerala should be punished."
Talking on the changing water levels, Deputy Commissioner A B Ibrahim said that in March, both the dams were full and the water was being used for farming also. "Last year, we had very less rains; this year also the rains have been delayed. Today, the water level is above 7 ft and we will be pumping water continuously from today onwards. If the water level decreases in the coming days, we will pump it every alternative day. We expect the rains to arrive soon and the water problem will be solved. We will call for a meeting to discuss rainwater harvesting for houses which are more than 2000 sq ft."
MLA J R Lobo, MLA Moideen Bava, ADC Kumar, DCP Law and Order Shantharaj, CEO ZP Sreevidya, MUDA chairman Ibrahim Kodijal, MCC Commissioner Dr Gopalkrishna and others were also present.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Parkinson Support Center of Kentuckiana Inc, Louisville, KY, USA
PSCKY works with everyone, family members and the person who lives with this horrific disease. If you need support, interested in learning more about PD, or want to volunteer, I understand this is the only place to go in Kentucky or southern Indiana. They survive strictly on donations-no outside professional affiliation so every dollar that comes in focuses on people who live well with PD and to keeping the doors open. If you have PD or a member of your family has it or even a friend, I can think of no better place to go for help than PSCKY. The only problem is getting the word out. I hope this helps!!

The ironic thing about being a home technology journalist is that most of us can't afford the coolest toys we write about. Or, at least, that's historically been the case.
I've been covering home automation for more than a decade now, and for much of that decade, a single motorized shade would run you thousands of dollars and a single touchscreen remote cost about as much as four iPads. Sure, I probably could have gotten in some of those super-ridiculous home automation systems for review during my Robb Report days, but really, how could I possibly even begin to relate to a fancy remote control system that cost nearly as much as my middle-class Alabama domicile?
Of course, times have changed in that decade. I've been running a "lighting control" system for a few years now. And I put "lighting control" in mocking quotes, because it was really a $500 system cobbled together out of Z-Wave light switches and a server that ran on my main PC when it was in the mood to run. Which certainly wasn't always.
These days, though, for-real home automation is starting to be something that even I can relate to, and at the center of this affordable home automation revolution is Control4's HC-250 Home Controller.
The HC-250 is billed as an expandable, scalable, one-room controller—sort of a fancy universal remote control replacement designed to give you the complete one-button-touch home theater experience, and maybe control a few lights and other devices. Really, though, in my rather modestly sized house, the HC-250 is more than big (and powerful) enough to run a complete home's worth of lighting control, and security, to boot. All of which we'll get to.
But in the first leg of this review, I wanted to approach the HC-250 from a direction I think most potential customers will approach it—as a one-room universal remote control solution with room to grow—and discuss lighting and security integration in a separate write-up. For now, let's just focus on the controller itself, and how it handles my home theater gear.
Interestingly, the first meeting with my local Control4 integrator featured barely a mention of gear at all. He did take notes about my existing home theater system, but in our discussion about what sorts of things we could do with the HC-250, his questions—and my answers—were more about lifestyle: how I spend my time at home, how techy other members of the household are, what my entertainment interests are.
We quickly decided that multi-room music would make about as much sense in my system as nipples on a Buick because of the way I listen to music (crack open a nice ale, sit in my recliner, dim lights, queue up—gasp!—a whole album, and curse at anyone who dares to bother me while I'm listening). Which isn't to say that Control4's rich music playback capabilities weren't a major part of what I wanted to do with my home theater. I've had an Autonomic Controls MMS-2 Mirage Media Server for a while now, and used it quite a bit when I first procured it. As time went on, though, I started to sort of ignore it, since pulling up yet another iOS app after firing up my home theater just became an inconvenience. With Control4, though, I can access the contents of my MMS-2 (which pulls all of the tunes—no matter the format or resolution—from both mine and my wife's computers and stores them in one centralized location in the home theater), with onscreen metadata, the ability to queue up custom playlists on the fly, and best of all, direct access to all of those wonderful streaming music sources like TuneIn, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, and even Rhapsody if you're into that sort of thing. And as a result, I use it a lot more. Like, on a nigh-daily basis.
Integrating the MMS-2 requires a Control4-specific driver licensed from Autonomic Controls, which my Control4 dealer wasn't familiar with, but other than that, automation of my home theater was a relative straightforward affair. The HC-250 comes with four IR ports, two of which can be reconfigured for RS-232; a front-panel IR blaster; a contact closure; a relay; and an Ethernet Port, which I'm using for IP control of several devices (and soon to be one more when the two-way IP driver for my Dish Hopper is released). That's more than enough control outputs for my system, but if you need more local control ports, Control4 also offers an IO extender to give you more innies and outties without stepping up to a more powerful processor. Had I decided to give the Control4 system more direct access to my PS3 and Xbox 360, that would have been necessary, but since I use both as game machines and game machines alone, I prefer to fire them up with their own gaming controllers, and simply have Control4 dial in all of the right AV inputs.
The only limitation I can find in the HC-250's control connections, assuming the number of them is sufficient for your system, is that you can't adjust the strength of the IR output. This was a crucial tweak back in the days when I had a Moxi Box DVR, which would overload and freak out when handed anything other than the weakest of direct IR signals. It isn't an issue with any of my current gear, so not a limitation for me, but if you have a Moxi or other device that's finicky with direct IR, it's something to consider.
During the discussion of how everything would be hooked up, my dealer did talk about all of the sorts of things other Control4 customers have done with keypads: double-taps to activate this, triple-taps to turn on that. And that's nice and all, I told him, but my mother-in-law and my father drop by frequently to babysit Bruno when I'm out of town, and they're both a bit intimidated by all of the electronics in my home already. What I wanted was a system that anyone could use without a bit of instruction. What I wanted was simplicity incarnate.
Which is good, because that's the sort of thing that Control4 really excels at. Which isn't to say that the system isn't capable of some serious sophistication, even outside of the keypad tapping mentioned above. Although it's a very template-based UI, your dealer can create custom buttons to handle odd quirks—like, in my case, the fact that I have a Crowson Tactile Motion Amplifier powering my Elite HTS theater recliner, but don't really need that much stereo bass rumbling my tushy while I'm watching The Daily Show. Normally, Control4 is a very activity-based system: you watch this, these components come on; you listen to that, those components come on. With one custom-button dropdown press at the top of the UI, though, I can now engage the motion amplifier when I choose, which is nice.
But that aside, my home theater is now as easy to operate as an iPhone. All I've had to tell frequent guests is, "Press the '4' button in the center of the remote, and I promise you can figure it out from there." Since the HC-250 connects not only to your home network, and to all of your components via various control methods—IP, IR, RS-232, contact closures, etc.—but also to your display and sound system as an A/V source via Component or HDMI, pressing the "4" button pops an onscreen Navigator onto your display (TV or projector) that replicates the same screen you'll see on Control4 touchscreens and the MyHome mobile control app. Really, it turns your main display to a big non-touchy touchscreen interface.
From there, it's a total no-brainer to figure out how to do whatever you want to do. Wanna watch something? Press the big Watch button, then select Satellite. Or Blu-ray. Or whatever video sources you're hankering for. Know which channel you want to jump directly to on the satellite? That's not a problem, because your favorite channels list is also housed handily in the Watch screen, sortable alphabetically, numerically, or by type. And the real beauty is that icons for subsystems you don't have—or don't want appearing onscreen—aren't there to confuse guests. No thermostat or other comfort features? Then you won't see the Comfort button. No security features? Ditto. Only icons for what you can actually do (or actually want seen) are populated on the screen.
And what's really cool is that, unlike most advanced control systems of this nature—that is to say advanced automation systems that require a custom installer and can't be installed yourself—you still have the ability as the end-user to tweak things like your favorite channels list, and even change the channel icons yourself. Full disclosure: I did go through four days of Control4 dealer training so I could make more advanced modifications to my system, like adding review gear and actually being able to control it. But for the past month or so, I've been mostly ignoring those capabilities and focusing on the things that any end-user can tweak via the Home and Media editions of the Composer computer-based software used to program the system. And I'm kind of blown away by just how much you can actually tweak. In addition to favorite channels and radio stations and such, you can also set up really sophisticated automated events (e.g., if it's nighttime, and someone selects Blu-ray as a source, dim the media room light to 25%), and even create your own custom alarms that gently wake you up at your chosen time each day (or not) with lights and even music. And since the release of OS 2.3, you don't even need the computer software to create all of the lighting scenes your heart desires; you can do it straight from the 7″ touchscreen, or the MyHome app on your computer, if you purchased a MyHome mobile app license for your system.
That's the barest hint of the sorts of things you can do yourself once the system is installed, but suffice it to say: whichever version of Composer you choose based on your level of comfort, both Composer Home Edition and Composer Media Edition give you a lot more control over the workings of your system than any other home automation system I can think of, without putting you in danger of messing everything up.
And if you do mess anything up, chances are really good that your dealer will be able to dial into the system remotely and fix things quickly, without rolling a truck. You can turn this capability off quite easily, if you're the paranoid type, but there's really no reason to be paranoid, since your dealer can't mess with anything on your network except for the Control4 system.
Given the flexibility of the HC-250 and the wealth of different ways it can be configured based on your lifestyle, it's crucial that you find the right Control4 dealer for you, if you have several to choose from in your area. In my case, living in the sticks of Alabama, I don't have many options, but luckily my installer was really adept at a few AV complications that arose during installation; the fact that video from my OPPO Blu-ray player is routed directly to HDMI 2 on my TV, for example, to make up for the fact that my Anthem D2v isn't 3D-ready just yet. There was also the fact that Control4 doesn't have drivers for my Blu-ray player, but using my original remote, my installer whipped up a fully functional driver in about five minutes, using the IR input capabilities of the HC-250 to capture commands directly.
I have to admit, there have been times that, for no real reason I can understand, my HC-250 has fired up the system on the wrong video input—a fact that I chalk up to the fact that this isn't a normal setup; usually, if you have both a surround processor and a video display in your system, there's only one video input on the display to worry about. Nevertheless, out of the maybe 100 times I've fired up the system in Blu-ray mode, it's gone to HDMI 1 on the display instead of HDMI 2 maybe two or three times. Definitely not a big deal, and quite easy to fix quickly.
Speaking of switching video inputs (and getting back to the automated events you can program yourself long after your dealer has left), one of the really cool events I've set up is specifically for my mother-in-law, who as I mentioned before comes to spend time with Bruno when the missus and I are out of town for the evening. The one thing I can always count on is that she'll come in, play with him for a few minutes, take him out back to powder his nose, and then come back into the media room and watch TBS for a few hours. Always TBS. Never anything but TBS. So I've created a lighting scene that's effectively an overnight out-of-town mode to let the Control4 system know we're out for at least the evening. If that scene is activated by a single button press when we leave, when my mother-in-law enters her code to unlock the front door, it waits ten minutes and then fires up the home theater and dials it directly to TBS. No muss, no fuss.
Setting that up involved merely scrolling from a list of actions and equal reactions in Composer, selecting what would do what and when, and really, that's it. You may need your installer to walk you through the ins and outs of your preferred version of Composer just to make sure you get it, because it's not entirely intuitive at first. But once you get it, it's easy. And quick. Here's a look at the macro detailed above.
And after that's all activated, it's merely one button press to shut everything down when she's ready to go home for the night. That's the only time she has to touch the remote, unless for some strange reason she wants to watch something other than TBS (as if).
Control4 has a choice of two wand-style hard-button controls for its system: the SR-150, which is the more basic offering; and the SR-250, which adds a backlit monochromatic OLED display that converts the onscreen Navigator into a more simplistic text-based experience. I opted for the latter, so I don't have to wait for all of my gear to fire up and all of the inputs to be dialed in before taking control of my home theater. Instead, I can simple press the Watch button on the remote, scroll, select Satellite or Blu-ray, and I'm in business.
Honestly, though, the SR-250 is the one single, solitary aspect of the system that I don't completely love to the core of my soul. And not for any of the reasons I might have suspected. I've long had a URC MX-5000 remote controlling the theater, which was replaced by a URC Total Control system that has now been moved to the front of the house to control my bedroom home theater and home office electronics. I really, truly thought I would miss the fancy icons and color graphics of URC—the whole touchscreen experience built right into my hard-button wand.
Honestly, I don't miss the color graphics a bit. Nor the fancy Blu-ray and Satellite icons. The SR-250 is an incredibly well-built device that isn't done a bit of justice by photos. Look at pictures and you'd think it was a brick, but in fact the back is comfortably contoured, and it fits the hand like a glove. It's also incredibly responsive, constructed like an M1 Abrams with the fit and finish of a new Cadillac ATS—it seriously makes something like a Harmony feel like a cheap plastic toy—and although I've been pounding it for hours every day for over a month now, the battery life of the AA cells that power it is still kicking at a solid 90%. With more normal, non-reviewy usage, I can easily see the batteries lasting well over a year without needing a change.
My sole beef with the SR-250 is the button layout. And it may be due the fact that it has so many darned buttons—everything you would ever need, from a dedicated DVR button to the red, green, yellow, and blue buttons that have become so important recently. The problem is that, even after an intensive month, I still cannot find the buttons I need most—Play, Pause, Skip, Guide, Menu—without looking down at the remote. Conventional button design since the dawn of the remote control era has had the Play button in the middle of the remote, with Skip Forward to the right, Skip Back to the left, and Pause in the middle below. On the SR-250, Play and Pause are stacked on the right, exactly the same size as every other button, and there are absolutely zero tactile cues to allow your fingers to do the walking in the dark.
Honestly, though, if you swapped the position of a few buttons, and maybe made Play and Pause a little bigger, the SR-250 would be pretty close to the perfect universal wireless remote (it uses the same ZigBee wireless protocol as so many other Control4 devices, and has amazing range throughout the entire house, with no Wi-Fi interference or anything of the sort to worry about).
I also have Control4's 7" Portable Touch Screen with Camera in my home theater as an alternate source of control, and often find myself using it in lieu of the onscreen Navigator when I'm listening to the Mirage Media Server, but for the most part, I've found myself using it way more for the less entertainment-oriented aspects of my system and more for home control, so we'll take a closer look at it in Part 2 of my review—The Home Automation Experience—coming soon.
As for the home theater experience, though, I have to say: this is the sort of control I could have only dreamt about even five years ago. Fully integrated, touch-of-a-button control, with nearly infinite power and scalability, all from a system that, including programming and installation, costs less than most AV enthusiasts would pay for a good AV receiver. The thing is, like I said, I've had really nice unified control solutions for my home theater system for a few years now. As nice as the URC solution is, though, and as simple as I found it to operate, technophobic guests still found it daunting. With Control4, virtually anyone can easily do anything with my system, with no anxiety, and despite that simplicity, I don't find it limiting in the slightest. That's a bit of a miracle.
I love living in the future.

Mom reportedly parades chained son through streets for trying to run away
Chinese mother parades chained teenage son in street 'as punishment for running away' | http://t.co/pH7jvvXoL5 pic.twitter.com/QgwIs2lh3k— SCMP News (@SCMP_News) October 15, 2015
A Chinese mother reportedly is taking an extra step to make sure her son stays within reach after he apparently tried to run away -- twice.
A video that has gone viral on Chinese social media sites shows the 17-year-old boy with his feet and hands bound together by chains, parading through the streets of the eastern city of Yongkang – with his mother not far behind, The Beijing News reports. The mother -- who has not been identified -- is being sought by the local police, the South China Morning Post reports.
In the 90-second video, which was filmed by a bystander, the mother claimed her son had run away from work on two occasions and it had taken her a great length of time to locate him, according to the South China Morning Post.
"[I] am left with no other choice," she says in the video. "He doesn't want to work and has always wanted to run away. He hid at his friend's apartment."

(Recasts to add CFO comments)
By Guillermo Parra-Bernal and Aluísio Alves
SAO PAULO, June 3 (Reuters) - Caixa Econômica Federal , Brazil's largest mortgage lender, could cut loan book growth estimates for this year as rising unemployment and sinking confidence in Latin America's largest economy hamper demand for credit and spark a jump in defaults.
Management at the Brasilia-based state lender could opt to cut so-called guidance as "economic conditions don't seem any supportive," Chief Financial Officer Marcio Percival said in a Wednesday interview, following the release of first-quarter results.
Currently, the bank expects lending to expand 14.5 percent and 18.5 percent for this year, down from 22.4 percent in 2014. Percival said that demand for credit is waning across the board and that the bank is recalculating its models to mitigate the impact of Brazil's worst downturn on the bank's activity.
"Credit markets are feeling the pinch of the economic weakness, so it might filter down on our guidance," Percival said, adding that any changes may be announced within 15 days to 20 days.
Caixa, which in recent years grew aggressively into corporate and infrastructure lending, was forced to raise loan-loss provisions in the first quarter after more corporate and individual borrowers fell behind on their loans. As a result, first-quarter profit dropped 14 percent on a quarterly basis.
Net income totaled 1.5 billion reais ($479 million) last quarter, down from 1.8 billion reais in the prior three months. Annualized return on equity slipped to 13.7 percent from 15.2 percent in the fourth quarter of last year.
Return on equity is a widely followed gauge of profitability for banks.
Loan-loss provisions soared 46 percent in a quarter-on-quarter basis to 5.027 billion reais - the highest in at least six years. The 90-day default ratio climbed to 2.9 percent, the highest since at least 2009, from 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter.

March 12, 2012
In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, here are 5 fun facts about the holiday.
- While almost everyone knows to wear green on St. Patrick's Day (or suffer the consequences), the color originally associated with St. Patrick was blue. In fact, green was considered unlucky for the Irish.
- We have fun celebrating St. Patrick's Day here in America, but it's not an official holiday in our country. That's why you don't get off work and the mailman still delivers. But let's be honest, it does provide a great excuse to drink green beer.
- Forget Valentine's Day! St. Patrick's Day is celebrated more than any other saint's day throughout the world. And you don't need to buy flowers or candy!
- One more reason to enjoy Guinness? The famous Irish brew has been found to be effective for preventing blood clots.
- New York may be famous for their Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, but it has nothing on the one they hold for St. Patrick's Day. It is the longest running parade in the world!

text: So I've been making western shirts with the set in snaps rather than buttons. I'm currently using the Dritz snap setter, but I'm finding that really isnt cutting it for me so I was hoping you all could help me. Does anyone have recommendations for a heavy duty snap press, or setter? I need to be able to set size 16 pearl snaps, but other than that, nothing special. It's going through a couple layer of cotton fabric and interfacing, and has to stick though washings and heavy use of opening and closing.

Payday delay
Northern Beef Packers holding worker paychecks.
MeatPoultry.com, 7/19/2013
by Meat&Poultry Staff
ABERDEEN, SC – Northern Beef Packers is withholding worker paychecks as the beef processing plant continues to struggle, according to local news reports.
In another setback for the troubled processor, company officials told workers July 17 that their July 19 paychecks would not be distributed "due to ongoing delays with securing additional funding", and that the company hoped to pay employees early the following week.
In April, Northern Beef Packers announced temporary layoffs for 108 of its 420 employees while the company raised money to buy more cattle. The plan was for furloughed employees to return by late July.
Once fully operational, the plant was expected to process 1,500 head of cattle per day. The plant currently processes 200 head per day from the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota.

Sept. 4, 2013 — The Department of History and Political Science at Park University will host its annual Constitution Day Lecture on Wednesday, Sept. 18, beginning at 3 p.m. in the McCoy Meetin' House on the University's Parkville Campus. Bill Worley, Ph.D., a history instructor at Metropolitan Community College's Blue River campus, will portray President James Madison in a live re-enactment of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution and Federalist Papers.
"Dr. Worley will demonstrate Madison's extensive studies prior to the Convention as well as his role during the event," said James Pasley, Ph.D., associate dean of Park University's School of Social Sciences and professor of political science. "He brings history alive, literally, and makes it more relatable to students today through his creative impersonations of significant historical figures."
Worley is a recognized authority on Kansas City regional history and he is a seasoned performer, representing historical figures in his classroom and in national performances. He is the author of several books, including J.C. Nichols and the Shaping of Kansas City, The Plaza: First and Always, Beale Street: Crossroads of American Music, The Santa Fe Trail and Kansas City: Rise of a Regional Metropolis.
Constitution Day, or Citizenship Day as it is also known as, is federally mandated for all institutions of higher education that receive federal funding. The legislation was enacted in 2004 and implemented by the U.S. Department of Education in 2005. The holiday celebrates the adoption of the U.S. Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens.
For more information about Constitution Day or Worley's lecture, contact Pasley at firstname.lastname@example.com.

December 16th, 2009
Okay. So a few days ago, I noticed my eye was hurting pretty bad, like something was irritating it, but when I looked in the mirror, I wasn't able to find anything. I fell asleep and woke up the next morning with a puffy eyelid (just on my right eye). I didn't think too much of it, because I have a cist (I think, my doctor refuses to call me back to see what it is) on that eye, and it has swollen before. It's like a ball in the center of my right top eyelid and it's hard. Anyway, I just thought it'd be like before, where my eye would be puffy and I'd look dumb. But I woke up the next morning and it hurt so bad and there was mucus coating my eyeball and lined my upper and lower lashes. So I pulled it off from the lashline and my eye is very watery still. I also noticed that eye has very blurry vision, even with my glasses. So I was looking at the symptoms of pink eye, but my actual eye isn't pink; my eyelid is just red. Some symptoms are what I have, but I didn't know if there was anything else that this could be. I know you're going to tell me to see a doctor, I just want suggestions. Please and thank you!

OK, see a doctor if it gets worse...In the meantime, get a clean cloth and soak it in hot water...Hold the cloth up to your eyelid and let it there for a minute...Then take it off and rinse it with more warm water and do it again...This should help...Otherwise, you know what to do...Go to the doctor....Take care...

This post was awhile ago, but I thought I would add my 2 cents in anyway!
I used to get pink eye all the time when I was a kid. It's really contageous, so try not to touch either eye, but especially not the one without the pink eye. Even though your eye is not specifically pink, it still sounds like pink eye.... By you saying you have the crusty stuff.
