Operation Juliet Wave Update — 05.12.2014
This is a joint CCC-QPS Media Release
The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) has closed the final phase of the joint CCC-Queensland Police Service (QPS) drug trafficking investigation, known as Operation Juliet Wave.
Operation Juliet Wave, led by the CCC's organised crime team in partnership with Taskforce Maxima, focused on former members of the Centro Chapter of the Bandidos criminal motorcycle gang (CMG) and their criminal associates.
Since 17 October 2014, the CCC has charged three people with 120 drug-related offences. Some of these new charges were preferred against individuals previously charged as a result of Operation Juliet Wave.
At the completion of Operation Juliet Wave, a total of 62 people have been charged with 430 offences. This includes 13 persons being charged with the serious offence of drug-trafficking.
Proceeds of Crime
The CCC has commenced proceeds of crime action in the Supreme Court against two targets of Operation Juliet Wave. As at 4 December 2014, the CCC has successfully restrained assets and bank accounts to the value of $831,433.
The CCC expects to restrain more assets in the future.
Drug Seizures
Drugs with an estimated value of $2.9 million were seized throughout the two-year operation. This included crystal and liquid methylamphetamine (ice) with an estimated value of over $2 million.
Drugs seized included:
- Methylamphetamine (ice) – crystal, liquid, powder
- Anabolic steroids – liquid and tablets
- Amphetamines - powder
- Cannabis – leaf, plant, seeds
- Cocaine - powder
- Heroin - powder
- lysergide (LSD) - tablets
- ecstasy – powder and tablets
Property Seized
Property seized during the two-year operation included:
- computers and storage devices
- mobile phones
- vehicles
- jet skis
- cash
- drug utensils
- an air rifle
- a butterfly knife
- knuckledusters and nunchakus
- other illegal weapons.
Cash Seized
Over $313,000 cash was seized.
The criminal proceedings against the 62 people charged as a result of Operation Juliet Wave have commenced and therefore the CCC is unable to comment further.
Note to Editors: At 12.55pm on 8 December 2014, the CCC removed reference in this media release to the seizure of 16 litres of a precursor to GHB. If media are using this media release after 12.55pm on 8 December 2014, no reference to the 16 litres of a precursor to GHB should be used.

Deviled Eggs with Red Pepper and Black Diamond Sea Salt
Our friend at the flower market who grows the calla lilies for our shop in Portland also has 40 chickens. Every year over the winter, as the pluvial Pacific Northwest endures its onslaught of alternating grey darkness and dark greyness, the birds more or less give up egg laying altogether. Stubborn about our eggs, we more or less give them up too, and the resulting drought of omelets, frittatas, aiolis, caesar salads, mayonnaises, pound cakes, and pisco sours is one of the greatest hardships of winter. Come spring, however, the chickens kick into gear and produce cartons upon cartons of bug-fed eggs with lovely brown-speckled shells and yolks the color of radioactive apricots.
If you have good eggs, consider the following deviled eggs recipe. The chile in this recipe will give them a little kick, while the Black Diamond sea salt (a Cypriot flake salt infused with activated charcoal) provides jaunty contrast with the yolks as well as an incredibly satisfying, potato chip-like crunch of pungent salt.
Deviled Eggs with Red Pepper and Black Diamond Salt
Makes 4 servings
4 eggs
Sel gris to taste
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (see recipe)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 small chile, pequin or piri piri, seeds removed, finely chopped
2 pinches Black Diamond flake salt
Put eggs in small pot. Cover with cold water. Add a handful of sel gris, cover and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook the eggs for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and rest for 12 minutes. By "cooking" the eggs off the heat you insure that the protein in the yolk and white will set up gradually. The results will be creamy and pristine, without a trace of sulfur-green surrounding the yolks, a common problem when hard-cooked eggs are overcooked. Drain and cool the eggs under cold running water, and refrigerate.
Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, dipping the knife into a bowl of water before every cut. Remove the yolks to a small mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and chile and mix until fluffy. Fill the hollow of each egg half with the yolk mixture and sprinkle with black diamond salt. Serve within 30 minutes.
Homemade Mayonnaise
Makes about 1/2 cup
1 egg yolk, large or extra-large
1/2 teaspoon fine Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 two-finger pinch fleur de sel
2 twists finely ground black pepper
Combine egg yolks, mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Beat with a whisk and slowly drizzle in the oil, about 2 teaspoons at a time, waiting until each drizzle is incorporated before adding the next. Continue until all the oil is incorporated. Season with fleur de sel and ground pepper. Store in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I wanted to take a little deeper look into what both the Steelers and Titans need to do to win the game tomorrow and how they stack up against each other.
Let's start with a look at last season, no matter how much it hurts!
Offense Steelers 8-8 Titans 6-10
Rushing Yds/game 96.1 (26th) 105.4 (21st) NFL avg 115.9
Passing Yds/Game 236.7 (14th) 207.7 (22nd)
Total Points/Game 21 20 NFL avg 22.8
Rushing Defense yds/game 90.6 (2nd) 127.2 (24th)
Passing defense yds/game 182.5 (1st) 247.8 (26th) NFL avg 231.3
Total Points/Game 19.6 (6th) 29.4 (32nd) NFL avg 22.8
The numbers show that both had similar results with a run game last year. Neither dominating on the ground. This year, the Steelers are banking on Felix Jones bringing explosiveness that Steeler Nation hasn't seen since Willie Parker. He's not proven himself since being drafted in 2008, yet the Steel City could be the right place and the right offense for him to show his abilities. With Le'Veon Bell still sidelined, Steeler Nation hopes he can bring the speed and Redman can run over the Titans defense.
Speaking of the Titans defense, last year wasn't a good year for them at all. They allowed yards both passing and rushing and were dead last in total points allowed per game. Meanwhile, Ben is seemingly healthy. Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders are ready to show off – and rookie Markus Wheaton has quickly made us forget what Mike Wallace offered.
The key to the game tomorrow is the offensive line. They are young, athletic yet unproven in big game situations. They need to get it together. With all of them performing at their best, the Steelers can't be beat. Pre-season did not prove that they are ready for prime time, but with all other aspects of the game clicking, hopefully the O-line steps up.

Chiefs Blitz: Q&A about Sunday's 30-22 win over Buffalo
In this week's Blitz, The Star's Terez Paylor answers five postgame Twitter questions from Chiefs fans.
1. Was the Bills game a turning point or one-time show of gumption? How do we recover from injuries for next week/rest of the season? -@ND622
Hard to say, but it's a good sign that the Chiefs pulled off a comeback like this. They've shown a disturbing tendency to lose games when a key player gets hurt — see the Tennessee game a year ago or the Chicago game this year — but the Chiefs rallied from a 10-0 deficit Sunday after losing Justin Houston. There's something to be said for that. Speaking of the injuries …
2. What is the play if (Mitch) Morse and (Eric) Fisher can't go? -@ese_camalone
The line you saw toward the end of the game — left tackle Donald Stephenson, left guard Jeff Allen, center Zach Fulton, right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and right tackle Jah Reid — could work. If Allen, who battled through an ankle injury the entire second half, can't go, the Chiefs will need to make a decision on Ben Grubbs — who hasn't practiced in a long time — and call someone up from the practice squad. Jarrod Pughsley, who had some moments during the preseason, would seem to be a solid candidate as a guard-tackle swing player.
3. Will Justin Houston and/or Dee Ford be able to play against the Raiders? -@annecasa
Way too early to say. Ford didn't practice all week, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Houston has a knee sprain similar to the one he suffered in the wild-card loss to Indianapolis in 2014. Knee sprains are tricky, but there's typically a two-week recovery time there. Houston was spotted limping out of the locker room Sunday under his own power, so that's a positive.
4. What prompted more downfield throws last week and today than the rest of Andy Reid's tenure? -@ColemanKCMO
The coverage. The Bills were playing a lot of single coverage on Jeremy Maclin with only one safety, which is a gamble. If Alex Smith can get him the ball in those situations — like any professional quarterback should — you're just begging for Maclin to rip it up like he did Sunday.
5. How pivotal is next week's game? -@JonnySielaff
Huge. The Raiders, 5-6, are no pushovers, and general manager Reggie McKenzie is building a nice squad in the Bay Area. There's some solid young talent on the Raiders, and they'll be trying to pull to .500 against a Chiefs team they also beat at home last year. Should be a fun one.
The number
2 Quarterbacks in Chiefs history who have multiple winning streaks of five or more games. With Sunday's win, Alex Smith — who guided the Chiefs to a 9-0 start in 2013 — joined Hall of Famer Len Dawson, who has four such streaks, in that club.

Childrens Health
Children face a myriad of health challenges and specific childhood illnesses. It is important to keep informed, because knowledge can be lifesaving.
Allergies often stem from theallergy-prone genes your child is born with, there are things that can do to lessen the chance and severity:
- Avoid or eat sparingly the most common food allergens: nuts, eggs, cows milk, eggs, and shell fish.
- Breastfeed your baby
- Delay introduction of potential allergenic foods
- Dust bust your child's bedroom
- No Smoking!
What to do immediately following a burn:
- Stay Calm and calm the child
- Stop the Heat -Submerge the burned area in cold water as fast as you can for 20 minutes
- Do not use ice. This can cause cold damage to the skin which may make the burn worse.
- Do not put any butter, grease, or powder on the burn.
- Pain Relief – you can give your child the correct dose of ibuprofin.
Common Cold
A few things to know:
- Viruses cause colds and coughs. Virtually all colds start off as a common cold virus. Whether or not your child has a fever, green nose, junky cough, or is throwing up mucus, the first several days of any cough and cold is usually due to a cold virus, not a bacteria.
- Viruses are not treatable with antibiotics. Antibiotics will only treat the bacterial complications of colds and cough, such as pneumonia, sinus infection, and ear infection. They won't help the basic cough and runny nose associated with a cold virus.
- The common cold virus can cause green nasal secretions and a junky sounding cough. That green or junky does not necessarily mean a bacterial infection. Viruses can also cause this.
- Children often vomit mucus after coughing spells. This does not necessarily mean there is something more serious going on. Lots of thick mucus will often trigger vomiting. This is usually just part of a bad cold.

LITTLE ROCK Guitarist-singer-songwriter Robert Hill left Arkansas years ago for New York, but he can't quite get the Natural State out of his system, judging from songs he has titled "Rose City," "Ozark Passage" and "Crater of Diamonds." Another one, "Moses McCord," the first song on Hill's first album, starts with the line "Moses McCord was born down in Arkansas ...."
Born in North Little Rock, Hill graduated from North Little Rock High School in 1972. For a time he was a part of the local music scene as a member of two bands, The RPMS and The Blue Mambas.
Past Event
Robert Hill--Opening act: Kat Hood and Chuck Gilbert
- Saturday, August 2, 2008, 7 p.m.
- STUDIO JOE'S Coffeehouse
- $10
"I moved north about 25 years ago for a couple of reasons," Hill says. "I wanted to try my hand at music up here and also to do some filmmaking and animation, which I do for CBS on The Early Show, four days a week. The rest of the time I play music and chase kids."
Hill and his wife, Heidi, have two children, Paulina, 10, and Robb, 5. The whole family is coming to see his first show in Arkansas in, lo, these many years, Saturday nightat west Little Rock coffeehouse Studio Joe. He adds that his mother and brother will also attend, and he hopes friends and former fans of his early bands will come and check out the progress he has made since flying the coop.
"When I was still living in Little Rock, I'd play at the White Water Tavern and another jointon Cantrell Road," Hill recalls. "It was called Smiley's, and it was a biker bar, a big Bandito hangout, and we kind of became the house band there. Most of the gigs ended up with a fight. Alcohol, blues and bikers, that's always a potent combination."
Hill is bringing along a musical cohort, bassist Mark Murphy, who wanted to bring his upright bass but will settle for a smaller electric model, due to the problems and expense of transport.
"I hope that someday I can bring my whole band," Hill says.
Around New York, Hill used to play in what he calls "straightahead blues bands," one of which was called The Bluesicians, in the 1990s at prominent clubs, including Tramps, Mannie's Car Wash and Mondo Cane.
"We played mostly cover stuff then," he says. "Now I've started doing more original stuff, playing in small theaters in upstate New York and out in New Jersey. I'm doing more listening-type rooms, coffeehouse things, where my stuff is more of a mix of singer-songwriter blues and Americana. I'm trying to play more for people that want to listen to the words. I've also been hosting a concert series at a Methodist church in New Jersey where we bring in a regional artist once a month. I've been doing that for a year."
He has opened shows for Chris Smither, Debbie Davies, John McEuen, The Tony Trischka Band, Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown, the late Rick Danko of The Band and another member of The Band, Hill's fellow Arkansan, Levon Helm.
In 1999, Hill released his selftitled debut CD on his label, Slide On Rye Records. His second album, My Corner, came out in 2007. The title cut of his recent CD was inspired by a midnight walk in 90 degree heat in New York.
"I saw a guy sitting on a corner with his shopping cart," Hill recalls, "and he had on a heavy winter coat and a parka and all these clothes,and it was a powerful image. The course of the song came to me right then. As I drove home, I felt like that song was given to me, as it all came out at once. It made me think how we don't know what people have been through and how they end up where they are." The song won first place in the Unisong international songwriting competition in 2005 and has been played on "The Loft," an Americana station on XM radio. A Hill instrumental, "Slide on Rye," was used in an episode of the TV series, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and as the theme song of a weekly radio show in Australia. Hill wrote the soundtrack of a documentary, Burley, the story of a North Carolina tobacco farmer, that aired on the Public Broadcasting System.
A third CD, Evolution Blues, is in the works for later in the year or early 2009, Hill says.
Hill will also perform on the MidDay Arkansas show at 11:30 a.m. today on KATV, Channel 7.
Full disclosure: The writer of this story, whose name is also Hill and who also grew up in North Little Rock, is not related to Robert Hill.
Robert Hill 7 p.m. Saturday, Studio Joe, 600 Autumn Road, Little Rock Opening act: Kat Hood and Chuck Gilbert Tickets: $10 (501) 224-3400

Like ants to a picnic, the extraordinary success of the mobile app market has attracted con artists looking for the easiest way to snag a piece of the pie. As the mobile app market continues to grow, their nefarious schemes — including bots, invisible ads, stacked banners, "tricky" links, and install farms — are getting more sophisticated.
Eric Seufert, VP of user acquisition at Rovio Entertainment, the creator of Angry Birds, says their company is primarily plagued by the mixing of incentivized traffic into what's supposed to be purely non-incentivized traffic, and traffic re-brokering, where a network will simply buy traffic from another network for one of their own customer's campaigns.
"The problem," Seufert says, "is how do you avoid it completely when it's so pervasive?"
The answer? You don't.
"It's almost the cost of doing business now," says Seufert. "You accept that there's going to be some level of this type of fraud in a lot of ad campaigns you run, especially with affiliate networks." The stop-gap solution is adjusting bids down to meet new estimated profit margins.
Trying to actually combat fraud in-house, as some companies have been doing for the last year or two, means you could end up exceeding what you're paying, he says — unless you're a big company, spending so much money that that margin represents a huge amount of absolute revenue.
The biggest issue developers face, Seufert says, is the opportunity cost of taking a step down. You could spend time trying to identify or confirm fraud, and then petition the network for your money back. Or you could go and make a ten percent margin on new traffic. "It's a matter of how you focus your time in the most beneficial way for the company," he says.
That said, he adds, there are tools coming to market designed to detect fraud in a cost-efficient way, with respect to what you're paying versus what you're getting back. Adjust, for instance, just announced its fraud prevention suite, and Seufert predicts that the fraud prevention market will continue to grow rapidly over the next year.
In the end, Seufert believes that the sky is firmly in place. "I think the problem will be tackled simply by the size of the market," he declares. The fraudulent percentages are becoming real money for the biggest companies, and like most pain points, it'll spur real solutions in the near future.

Nationally Labour's membership decline is even worse, membership has halved from 400,000 to 190,000 since 1997. And Guido wonders why would conscientious socialists think to vote Labour – an illegal war, privatisation, the biggest curtailment of civil liberties outside wartime, detention without trial, and in Guantánamo the abuse of British citizen's human rights and their torture without any objection from Blair's government. No wonder the Labour Party membership is disappearing, New Labour has no heart and no respect for their core values. Can any self-respecting Leftie with a conscience vote for Blair's party?
The activists are staying at home in droves, Tory Tony the Warmonger is just too much for them – and its having a dramatic effect on the membership. Figures from Scotland show that there are now fewer than 20,000 Labour Party members in Scotland, down more than 30% from the 30,000 members the party had in distant naive 1997, when things could only get better. To put that into perspective the Conservatives claim 17,000 members in Scotland, and the SNP has about 10,000 members, soaring 20% from last year. The slump in party membership includes a drop of more than 2,000 even over the last year which is contrary to the usual historic pattern of increasing membership during pre-election enthusiasm.

Essay Format Example
Writing an essay is one of the most popular assignments students perform all over the world. It needs some skills, patience and attention, though takes not much time. Before we will switch to essay format examples let's discuss a kind of introduction to essay writing.
Also you can find more about some alternatives to writing an essay online.
Where to start?
Starting an essay, first decide about what you want to write. Pick a topic. More often than not a topic or the main issue is assigned by a mentor. But what to do if not? In this case you may take advice of your imagination. Think about your strengths and what you are good in: love reading books? – than write about your favorite book; love sports? – write about any of football clubs or a hockey team; wanderlust is your nature? – write about your last adventures or how you spent your previous weekend etc. The list is infinite. So, just set your mind free.
Despite all of the above you need to know how to write. It means to distinguish from among different types of essays you can pick.
Essay types:
• narrative essays – refer to telling a tale about some events. It is like a story you retail. Here you must describe some points and show undeniable facts to make your tale meaningful.
• descriptive essays – describe some events or things. Usually to write such an essay means to answer questions Why, Where, Of what, What kind of, When etc.
• evaluation essays – show the price or the value of events, facts and thing you write about. Point why the issue you are writing about is important to others.
• comparison essays – refer to putting on the scales different events, things, actions etc.
• argumentative essays – stress your own position, point your meaning and show awareness in meanings of your opponents.
It is very important to remember that all types of essays require your personal and unique meaning. The best essays are custom essays. You are the master of your own world, albeit illusory.
After considering all essay types, we can finally look at an essay format example in particular. Usually essay format examples are rather common than different. Though there are some exceptions.
Essay is a writing piece written from author's personal point of view. Basically, any essay doesn't refer to a widely written story. It is rather short and in general consists of three parts.
Parts of an essay:
• introduction;
• body;
• conclusion.
The main purpose of writing an introduction is to attract reader's attention. The better you will do that, the more you will get. Write about the importance of an issue or events you show in your essay. Point on some social arguments and explain that you are to shed some light on the matter. To interest a reader is what you need to do.
Body refers to the main part of an essay. You can divide it into several parts (commonly into three paragraphs):
• The first part of the body shows the main reason why you took a pen and started to write. It reveals the core of an essay.
• The second part smoothly appears from the first one, completes it and slightly leads a reader to the coda.
• The third (the last) part of the body expresses some basics, doesn't reveal anything else but draws the line, leads to the end and flows into conclusions.
Conclusions show us the moral of a tale, summarize all of the above and raise some arguments. Finally, you stress some basic points and finish your essay.
All listed above shows basics of essay format example. There are no difficulties in writing essays. But, if you do have some troubles and wonder: "who can write essay for me?" just call for some help. Professionals are always ready to help you.
Have no time for writing – bye essay.

Dear colleagues, I am delighted to announce the launch of the 'Puzzled by Policy' eParticipation Platform. Please redistribute this press release to related mailing-lists. I look forward to seeing your contributions on immigration policy in the debates. Kind regards, Deirdre Lee Reconnecting Citizens with Policy Launch of the Puzzled by Policy Platform Every day, people encounter situations that are governed by national and EU policy: what mode of transport to take to work, are they eligible to live in an EU member-state, where can they study? However, many are unaware of what their country's and EU current policies are and, as such, whether they agree with them. Puzzled by Policy 'Helping you to be part of the EU' aims to help correct this situation by providing citizens with an engaging and easy-to-use platform, where they can learn about and give their voice to policy issues concerning immigration in the European Union. The Puzzled by Policy platform allows users to graphically compare their views on immigration with national and EU immigration policies, as well as with the opinions of relevant stakeholders. Users are then encouraged to join discussions on particular aspects of immigration policy they feel strongly about. The platform is customized for Greece, Hungary, Italy and Spain, profiling users based on national and European immigration policy. However the platform is also available in English and discussions can be automatically translated into any language. To ensure accessibility to all users, the Puzzled by Policy widget can be embedded on any social media site, blog or website. Local, national and European decision-makers have expressed their support in participating in debates and listening to the results of these collaborative discussions. Another avenue for bringing citizens and policy stakeholders closer to the making of immigration policy in the EU and its member-states is through the official public consultation processes, such as the current consultation on the right to family reunification in the EU[1]. Puzzled by Policy aspires to contribute policy proposals and summaries of the discussions taking place to such consultations. Try Puzzled by Policy for yourself: http://join.puzzledbypolicy.eu "Puzzled by Policy" is funded by the European Commission under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) - ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP). The project is led by the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) at NUI Galway and has a consortium consisting of 12 partners from nine European Countries (Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and United Kingdom). It started on 1st October 2010 and will run for 3 years.

2013 // USA // Angela Christian // November 19, 2013 // Digital Theatrical Projection (Landmark Plaza Frontenac Cinema)
If one were to judge documentary films strictly on the extent to which they fulfill their primary ambition, director Angela Christian's Children of the Night would be a rousing success. The film profiles the small circle of passionate professionals who mold the raw imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope into gloriously vivid, high-resolution pictures for public consumption. It is a curious endeavor, demanding the skillsets of the astronomer, digital artist, educator, and public relations professional. Children does a fine job of exposing filmgoers to this thinly documented part of NASA's mission, stoking admiration for the uncommon blend of rigor and intuition that molds the public face of the Hubble program. The film also takes several intriguing detours into other aspects of astronomy education, most prominently into the creation of a textured Hubble picture book for the blind.
The tone of Children is shamelessly swooning, even ecstatic. Christian clearly regards the efforts of this unusual, highly specialized group of scientists as worthy of wider appreciation and understanding. The film flits restlessly between the depicted individuals, providing glimpses of not only their astronomical work, but also their lives beyond the Hubble program. Christian is continually striving to humanize and deepen the portraits it presents: the scientists in question are not just scientists, but ballroom dancers, nature photographers, and soccer coaches. The common worldview of the men and women profiled is one that values knowledge, aesthetics, and pure wonder. Children capably illustrates how this outlook is a perfect fit for the creation and dissemination of striking deep space images.
The film's indifferent, amateurish cinematography and bargain basement production levels are not especially bothersome; a documentary feature can skate for an impressive distance on the compelling nature of its subject. The glaring flaw in Children—although not a fatal one—is that the film's enthusiasm for that subject leads to wearying indulgence. At a running time of 109 minutes, it rolls on for an hour longer than is necessary, and as a result often slips into a repetitive, meandering mode. Often, the film revisits previous scenes for no particular reason, offering no new insight or information beyond the revelation that a bloody-minded editor is needed. The film's use of music embodies the difficulty that Christian has in reigning in her instincts. Even for a post-rock aficionado like yours truly, Children is packed so densely with soaring singles by the likes of Sigur Rós, Mogwai, and Explosions in the Sky that the soundtrack borders on self-parody. That Children of the Night nonetheless manages to be an edifying experience has less to do with its characteristics as cinema than with the bottomless awe found in the astonishing images of galaxies, clusters, and nebulae.

Early Career Fellowship in the Economics of Health
Improving statistical methods to address confounding in the economic evaluation of health interventions
3 years
Confounding is a major methodological challenge in health economic evaluations that use non-randomised studies. Currently recommended methods are not directly applicable for complex settings, such as when cost-effectiveness of a continuous or dynamic treatment regime is of interest. The causal inference literature proposes methods to address confounding in these settings. This fellowship aims to critically assess and extend these methods, to deal with the specific challenges of economic evaluation. Examples include the extension of the generalised propensity score method with machine learning, and the use of the synthetic control approach to evaluate health policies.

From The Heart
A Love Story
Written by: Coco Bassey | Instagram: @cocobassey | I believe in love. To me, love is more than watching Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big beat all odds and finding their happy ending, more than Romeo and Juliet paying the ultimate price to spend an eternity together in the afterlife, and certainly more than a beautiful travel photo on Instagram, hashtagged #CoupleGoals. Love is about taking risks, trying something new, making commitments, believing in the impossible. Love is everything. I love my Chamilia jewelry as it serves as my visual reminder to always prioritize love every day. I love how each charm stands for something different: the heart charm is a classic symbol of love, but I also added on love letter, sea shell and compass charms because they stand for my love of travel, exploration and maintaining admittedly

With the holidays right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about what gifts to get your loved ones. It's not always easy to select the perfect gift so I wanted to share a few gift giving tips. I find that it helps to ask yourself what types of gifts that you like to receive. When I think of the perfect gift, I think of something personalized and sentimental. You know that special gift someone once gave you that you will always remember? Those gifts tend be very thought out gifts, and tell such a personal story.
I think a great gift starts with the packaging. It's the little things that make a gift that much more special!

PROGRAM NOTES: SDYS Chamber Orchestra with Ning Feng, violin
by Eric Bromberger
Overture to The Marriage of Figaro, K.492 (1786)
Born January 27, 1756, Salzburg
Died December 5, 1791, Vienna
The Marriage of Figaro, based on the Beaumarchais play that had been banned for its theme of social injustice and its portrayal of servants outsmarting their masters, had its première in Vienna on May 1, 1786, and promptly began a successful run. In many respects, Figaro marked the high point of Mozart's success during his lifetime. On a visit to Prague the following year to conduct the opera, Mozart reported that "here nothing is talked of but Figaro, nothing played but Figaro, nothing whistled or sung but Figaro, no opera so crowded as Figaro, nothing but Figaro."
Mozart customarily composed the overtures to his operas last, and that was probably the case with The Marriage of Figaro, though there is no evidence that he had to stay up all night before the final rehearsal to get it done, as was the case with Don Giovanni. Mozart's overtures were usually in sonata form, but he abandoned that form here, and for good reason. The Marriage of Figaro is witty, brilliant, and wise, and it needs an overture that will quickly set its audience in such a frame of mind. This overture is very brief (barely four minutes), and Mozart drops the development section altogether. He simply presents his sparkling themes (there are six of them, even in so short a space!), recapitulates them, and plunges into the opera. Evidence suggests that he had originally begun to compose a D-minor Andante as an interlude at the center of the overture, but saw that it would be out of place and crossed it out.
From the first instant, when this music stirs to life, to its sudden explosions of energy, the overture has delighted all who hear it and is the perfect lead-in to the comic escapades (and human insight) that will follow. Faced with having to choose a performance marking for his players, Mozart dispensed with any description of the emotional character he wanted from a performance. He simply chose one word, and it is perfect: Presto.
Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Minor, Opus 37 (1861)
Allegro non troppo; Moderato
Allegro con fuoco
Ning Feng, violin
Born February 17, 1820, Verviers, Belgium
Died June 6, 1881, Mustapha-lez-Alger, Algeria
The Belgian violinist-composer Henri Vieuxtemps had a career quite similar to that of his contemporary, the Polish violinist-composer Henryk Wieniawski. Both were child prodigies, both studied in Paris, both spent extended periods in Russia, both toured America, and both taught at the Brussels Conservatory in the final years of their lives. Vieuxtemps loved to travel, and so embarked on concert tours that took him throughout Europe and brought him to America for three extended visits; one of the results of his time in America was his encore piece Souvenir d'Amérique, a set of comic variations on "Yankee Doodle." Ironically, Vieuxtemps' love of travel led to his death. Riding in an open carriage while on vacation in Algeria, he was struck on the head by a rock thrown by a drunk and died of complications from that injury.
Vieuxtemps is part of the tradition of great Belgian violinist-composers that includes his teacher Charles de Beriot and his student Eugene Ysaÿe. As might be expected, Vieuxtemps wrote primarily for the violin–his compositions include seven violin concertos (of which the Fourth and Fifth are the best-known), a violin sonata, string quartets, and a number of short works for violin. He composed his Fifth Violin Concerto shortly after returning to Paris from his second American tour in 1857. The concerto–which is quite compact–has an unusual form. Its movements are performed without pause, and the first movement is substantial, lasting about eleven minutes, but the cadenza and second and third movements combine to span only about eight minutes. The Allegro non troppo begins with the customary orchestral introduction, and the solo violin makes an unexpectedly subdued entrance. Vieuxtemps writes beautifully for his own instrument here, combining an elegant lyricism with passages of extraordinary virtuosity. The long first movement leads directly into the cadenza (Vieuxtemps composed two different cadenzas for this concerto), which in turns flows without pause into the Adagio. Vieuxtemps borrowed the main theme of this movement from the opera Lucile, composed in 1769 by his countryman André Grétry. Early in that opera, four characters join to sing "Ou peut-on être mieux," a quartet in praise of domestic happiness, and some of that happy spirit infuses this lyric movement. Vieuxtemps originally intended to conclude the Fifth Concerto at the end of this movement but eventually decided to add fast movement. This blazing finale, marked Allegro con fuoco, whips past in barely a minute.
Symphony No. 35 in D Major, K.385 "Haffner" (1782)
Allegro non troppo; Moderato
Allegro con fuoco
For Mozart, July 1782 brought some of the best of times, and some of the worst. On the 16th of that month, his opera The Abduction from the Seraglio was produced in Vienna after nearly a year of intense work. The Abduction–Mozart's first opera in German–was a huge success: it was at that première that Emperor Joseph II complained that the opera had "too many notes," only to be met with Mozart's famous reply: "Exactly as many as are necessary, Your Majesty." Mozart was quite busy with other matters as well, arranging the opera for wind ensemble, revising an earlier wind serenade, and preparing for his own marriage to Constanze Weber on August 4. But back in Salzburg, that marriage had been frostily opposed by Mozart's father Leopold, who had cut off all communication with his son for a time.
And now, in the midst of this frantically busy month, came a letter from Leopold, and it brought a request. In Salzburg, Sigmund Haffner, the son of a prominent family, was being elevated to the nobility. Six years earlier, in 1776, when one of the Haffner daughters was married, the family had asked Wolfgang to compose music for that occasion, and he had responded with the Serenade in D Major, K.250, nicknamed the "Haffner" Serenade. Now, the family wondered, could Wolfgang supply music for the ennoblement ceremony?
The composer nearly exploded. Some sense of his thorny relation with his father burns through his reply: And now I'm supposed to produce a new symphony? How is such a thing possible?
Desperate for his father's approval of his marriage, Mozart set to work on the music for the Haffners in what little spare time he had (his father's approval would arrive–grudgingly–on August 5, the day after he and Constanze were married). While he missed sending something "in every mail," he did manage over the next couple of weeks to turn out a six-movement serenade consisting of an Allegro, a march, a slow movement, two minuets, and a rondo-finale. He finished and dispatched the last of these movements on August 7, three days after his marriage, and then–with other things on his mind–completely forgot about this music.
He remembered it the following winter. Mozart had scheduled an academy of his own music at the Burgtheater in Vienna on March 23, 1783. It would be a long concert indeed: Mozart played one of his piano concertos, there were arias and other orchestral movements, and Mozart played some solo piano music. He needed a festive orchestral work to open this program, and now he remembered the serenade he had written the previous summer for the Haffners. He wrote to his father, asking to have the manuscript sent from Salzburg. Mozart's music could impress even its creator, and he wrote back to his father: "My new Haffner symphony has positively amazed, for I had forgotten every single note of it. It must surely produce a good effect."
It should be noted, though, that what Mozart received from Salzburg was not a symphony, but a serenade. To convert it to a symphony, he made a number of changes, eliminating the opening march (this survives as his March in D Major,
K. 408) and one of the two minuets (this has been lost). He also added flutes and oboes to what was now a four-movement symphony. What we know as the "Haffner" Symphony had its first performance at the Burgtheater concert, an evening that was by all accounts a huge success. Mozart described it to his father: "The theater could not possibly have been fuller and all the boxes were taken. What pleased me most, however, was that his Majesty the Emperor was present, was delighted and applauded me loudly."
The "Haffner" Symphony explodes to life, then seems to overflow with festive energy across its compact (twenty-minute) span. Something of Mozart's performance before the emperor may be evident from the performance instructions he sent his father the previous summer: "The first Allegro must be played with great fire, the last–as fast as possible." We feel that "great fire" from the first instant, when the violins make their two-octave leaps and the music races ahead on trills, a firm little march-rhythm, and blazing runs. This symphony is in the "violinist's key" of D major, a key that sits comfortably under the hand and has a particularly resonant sound, and the writing for violins in the outer movements of this symphony is particularly brilliant. In the course of the movement Mozart three times gives the violin part the unusual marking sciolte: "in a free and easy manner." This music is hardly "easy," but that marking does suggest some of the festive quality Mozart wanted in a performance. He builds this Allegro on only one theme–the powerful opening–and this undergoes some impressive contrapuntal extension before the movement races to its ringing close on great D-major chords.
Mozart left no marking for the second movement, and later editors have marked it Andante. It too is in sonata form, contrasting the elegant opening with an active second idea from the second violins and violas. The development is quite brief, and Mozart rounds the movement off with a recapitulation that continues to develop the material. The Minuet returns to the manner (and the key) of the opening Allegro–its powerful beginning makes the same two-octave leap that brought the symphony to life–but the graceful trio draws us into a world of polished elegance.
We should remember Mozart's instruction that the finale should be "as fast as possible." He marks it Presto, and it often feels like a perpetual-motion for the combined violin sections, which are given passages of virtuoso brilliance. This movement is just plain fun, with its racing violins, great explosions, surprising little adventures along the way, and the final rush to the sizzling close.
No wonder Joseph II was delighted and applauded so loudly. Over two centuries later, this symphony still has that effect on audiences.
The Comedians, Opus 26 (1938)
Comedians' Galop
Little Lyrical Scene
Born December 30, 1904, St. Petersburg
Died February 16, 1987, Moscow
In 1938, the year he completed the first version of his opera Colas Breugnon, Dmitry Kabalevsky was asked to provide music for a production at the Central Children's Theater in Moscow of Daniel's play The Inventor and the Comedians. Long interested in music for children, Kabalevsky was happy to write music for this play, which tells the story of a band of traveling comedians. Two years after the play was produced, he took ten numbers from his score, changed their order slightly, and arranged them as an orchestral suite called The Comedians. Daniel's play appears to have disappeared, but nearly eighty years later Kabalevsky's colorful suite remains one of his most popular works.
Kabalevsky's finest music is marked by exhilarating energy, a nice sense of irony, and a genuine melodic gift–some of the best music in this suite, in fact, comes in its slow movements. Despite the furious energy of much of this music, textures remain transparent throughout, and the quiet movements offer sensitive writing for solo winds. The ten pieces in The Comedians are admirably concise: the entire suite lasts barely a quarter of an hour.
The Prologue, appropriately marked Allegro vivace, races along on dotted rhythms and the bright color of the xylophone. Comedians' Galop has become the most famous part of the suite: with its evocation of pratfalls and tumbling clowns, this movement has joined Julius Fucik's Entry of the Gladiators as some of the greatest circus music ever written.
A leisurely March leads to a somber little Waltz in which the dance tune is passed easily between different instruments. The mock-serious Pantomime, with its ponderous chordal accompaniment, is all the more effective for keeping its tongue in cheek, while the Intermezzo–colored by the sound of varied instrumental duets–comes to a surprising close with a dark string resolution.
The winsome Little Lyrical Scene leads to two movements that show the influence of other composers. Some have heard echoes of Prokofiev's Classical Symphony in the Gavotte, but this graceful music, with its haunting clarinet duet and ironic turns of phrase, bears more fully the imprint of the composer who influenced so much Soviet music–Gustav Mahler. The Scherzo, full of graceful string passages punctuated by wind solos, evokes the atmosphere of Tchaikovsky's ballet scores.
Kabalevsky rounds off his suite with a blazing Epilogue. This brings back the theme of the Prologue, now in a grand restatement, and the music rushes to a knock-out conclusion.

Today, I had planned on joining fellow writing buddy Michelle T in doing a weekly progress report. I was on vacation all week, but instead of writing up a storm like I thought I would, I did nothing! Well, not nothing, but you know what I mean. 🙂
There is so much I could say right now, but in an effort to keep this as short as possible, I'll jump right ahead to the matter at hand and hope that it makes some kind of sense.
During vacation, I finally finished this amazing, amazing story, and per usual, whenever I read something amazing, I freak the hell out about my own pile of artistic crap. I've actually been freaking out a lot lately. A few weeks ago, I cried through half of Big Hero 6 because it's so good I could hardly stand it.
To be transparent, yes, I'm comparing myself to another writer. Of course people say not to do this, blah, blah, blah. But it's the only way I can see where I need to improve. Everything I write is crap, and that is going to change.
My first instinct is to crawl into a hole and stop writing. However, we all know I can't quit (and we know because I've tried so many times I should be ashamed, only I'm not). I'm a writer. I just need to get over it and freaking own it.
Nothing will ever be perfect, I swear I understand this, but sometimes I just messed up. So, after analyzing several stories and giving myself a migraine, I decided to shelve everything. Yes. EVERYTHING.
Now, before you think I'm being irrational, though it's possible, this is the reasoning behind it: I don't believe everything can be fixed. Sometimes you just have bad seeds. Sometimes the problem is so deep that you have to trash everything about it and start over from scratch. Sometimes something is just off.
Let's face it: being a writer sucks. If I'm going to continue writing, I might as well aim my stupid rocket at amazing and try to be one of the best. Why settle for being the best chef at a three star restaurant in a three star town when who I really want to be is Emeril!
Sure, it may never happen, but if that's what I want, what I really want, then I can't settle for the best that I can do anymore. My best isn't good enough. I have to be like Batman in the Dark Knight Rises and just leap without any ropes: make it or die. Reach for something I'm not sure I can grasp. Otherwise, what am I doing? Why do I bother?
So, I'm shelving everything. Because nothing is good enough. This includes DISCORD, and in a minute, I will tell you why.
This doesn't mean I'm not going to work on "Phantom Silence." I'm really not sure this story is what I'm looking for; I'm stilling ruminating over it. But it's been therapeutic. I feel like it's pointing me in the right direction, if nothing else, and something in there is making me feel like myself again. I feel less…bitter, for lack of a better word. Less bitter about EVERYTHING in my life, not just writing. Whatever the "it" is that is drawing my attention to this story – that is the link I'm missing.
In any case, my point is, I'm not querying anymore and putting myself through that crap until I have something amazing. I thought it was enough to love the story. I thought I could make it through queryHELL with my sanity in tact if it was a story that I loved enough. But DISCORD makes me happy, and it's beautiful, and I love it, and it isn't anywhere close to being enough. I truly need to believe that it's the best thing I've ever written. I need to be able to hold it up against the works of amazing writers without it losing all of it's color, or I'm not going to make it.
Querying DISCORD turned me into an empty shell who felt nothing and didn't care anymore. And not in a depressed person way. Like in a looking at beige paint way. You don't even notice what color you're looking at after a while. It's just there. It's just a wall. It means nothing. I truly looked at my writing and felt nothing.
So, I have a thought on what I can do. I won't go into too much detail now because this is long and I don't want to psych myself out or sound crazy or both. But I'll tell you a little story and maybe it will make sense.
You're on your writer's path, and you come to a clearing. Branching off from this clearing are different paths which disappear into the fog. However, there is one path drawing you closer; it's magnetized. It scares you. So instead, you forge ahead into the wilderness and cut your own path. But you get lost along the way because you don't know where you're going, and you have nothing to guide you. And quite suddenly you realize where the magnetized path was trying to lead you. Only now that clearing is years behind you. So you continue in the wilderness and aim your compass for the direction you think you need to go. And you start to make some progress at last.
However, you come to a brick wall. Where you need to be is just on the other side. But your criss-crossed path will only take you so far. You realize with some dread, as you stare at these bricks, that you have to go back to the clearing and fix the mistake you've made several years ago. You have to go back to that first story you went awry with and take it on the right path – the path that is still waiting for you, because it is your path.
I'll be honest, what I really, really want to do is dump everything and start over from scratch. I want to delete all of my stories, the plot bunny field, the story graveyard, everything. I want to set fire to all of my composition books, delete all of my notes. But that would be rash. However, I must be onto to something because I can FINALLY sleep at night. And it's been a really long time. ^_^
I realize this probably sounds like I'm having a dramatic reaction to something, but nothing of note has happened in the last few weeks. I'm just trying to figure out where I need to go from here and realizing that I have nothing to lose by taking my time and writing what I really want to write.

Hillsborough Street Plan: No room for a Bike Lane
Where would bicyclists ride? The study will consider the needs of bicyclists in the corridor. An option being considered is to allow bicyclists their choice of riding through the roundabout under the legal definition of a vehicle, according to North Carolina law, or riding on the sidewalk instead. The Hillsborough St. Plan That's right, bikers: You are on your own in Raleigh. The future plan for revitalizing Hillsborough Street, a full restructuring and redesign of key intersections, does not include a bike lane.
LED Lighting in Raleigh's Municipal Deck
Global warming is sure to be the new buzzword for the twenty-first century, and with our national leaders having the same success of getting themselves out of bed with the oil industry as a common guest on trash talk shows, the task of conservation and responsible energy consumption has fallen to the persons in charge at the municipal level. Mayor Charles Meeker and the Raleigh City Council are no exception.
Where to see Raleigh Fireworks on July 4th
The Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department presents a July 4 celebration at the N.C. State Fairgrounds from 2:30 to 10:30 p.m. Activities include carnival games, rides and inflatables, a magic show, pony rides and the Mustang Club Car Show. Fireworks begin at 9:15 p.m. Admission and activities are free. If you are planning on going just for the fireworks- be warned- mass insanity will ensue. Raleigh folk take their fireworks seriously! Traffic on 440/1 will backup and people will park on both sides of the highway through the area over Wade Avenue and Hillsborough street.
Raleigh and Wake County Water Restrictions Begin
Today Raleigh begins its new water restrictions. These rules are permanent changes in the way citizens are allowed to use their water in Wake County. I can only imagine how our McMansion population must feel about what their chemical dipped, soggy lawns will look like if they actually have to dry out between waterings. Fortunately for them Raleigh has provided a convenient loophole for those trying to water their 3 foot green border: Hand Watering. That's right folk you can hire illegal immigrant laborers to water your lawns on your sprinkler's days off. MonTuesWedThursFriSatSunOddNoYesNoYesNoYesNoEvenNoNoYesNoYesNoYes The restriction is valid for most of Wake County: in Garner, Knightdale, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Wendell and Zebulon, all of which get their water from Raleigh. From the horses mouth
Pitchfork gives an 8.4 to The Bowerbirds
Our city's very own Bowerbirds upcoming album is lauded in a recent Pitchfork review, recieving a top mark of 8.4. Pitchfork's often harsh critical reviews are highly saught after for upcoming bands and this review should do much to support the Bowerbirds in their summer touring and album sales. Hats off to Beth Tacular, Phil Moore and Mark Paulson! Listen to 4 tracks off the new disc using the flash player on the Bowerbird's site. Is it too much to ask for a downloadable mp3?
Does Raleigh need another pizza restaurant?
Does Raleigh seriously need another pizza restaurant? At 117 square miles, and well over a hundred establishments that make pizza, you can score a slice at roughly once every square mile. The newest addition to the rat race of pizza delivery options—Hungry Howie's, a chain restaurant from Michigan—comes to Oberlin road, on the edge of the Hayes-Barton and Oberlin Village neighborhoods. It places itself centrally between arguably the two finest pizza establishments in Raleigh: Lilly's Pizza of Five Points, and Capital Creations which operates out of the Sunset Hills area.

This is the first in a five part series that provides a tip about the transition from college student to full time employee.
Going from school to work is no small task. No longer can you rely on your 30 minute power nap after lunch or drop everything to grab a cup of coffee with a buddy. A job is 8 straight hours (ok minus the one we get for lunch) of work. Non stop work. It's the kind of work that you have to constantly use your brain and your energy in order to succeed. I have found these few tips to have helped me out TREMENDOUSLY during my transition from student to full time worker.
Get sleep! That can literally never been said enough, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep... you get my point.
That may be one of the most overrated things ever, SLEEP. As a college student I prided myself on being able to run off of 3 hours of sleep. Now, 3 hours won't get me out of bed in the morning. It is important that you realize that sleep really is a necessity. During school I could take a 30 minute power nap if need be to refuel for the rest of my day.When at my job I don't have such opportunities to take breaks. I am constantly going from the time I step in the door till the moment I leave (and sometimes even after that).
There have even been studies that document just how crucial sleep is to be able to create a productive career in any field!
Sleep time is important and it is crucial for you to be able to put your best foot forward with all tasks that you do. Getting into a sleep schedule and keeping that schedule (even on the weekends!) is critical to feeling rested and restored for the day at work ahead of you.

When I come to Marseille, it's always for a few days and I'm on the rush from the minute I land to the minute I take off again. This time wasn't an exception.
I try to do my best but there are always some people that I can't see or some things that I can't do.
The easiest way to see everyone (or almost) is to invite them to my house the same day, together or not.
Everybody knows each other and the atmosphere is always pleasant.
But sometimes, I need some time alone with my best friend Nathalie.
She's the best of the best. We have been friends forever, which means since she was born (I'm 6 months older). Even if we don't see each other as we used to do and would like, our connection has never faded and I hope never will.
So, this time, I managed (in my ministry's diary) to reserve an evening only for the 2 of us.
Then, we were handed the menu, which was handwritten in a pupil's notebook.
A caillette is a traditional dish from South of France (Ardèche), essentially composed of pork meat and green vegetables (chard, spinach, cabbage or even salad)
Normally, I eat it cold as a starter, spread on a slice of bread, like a pâté.
It was the first time that I ate a hot caillette and it was excellent.
We then had a digestive walk in the area, which is the best to see street art in Marseille.

::Lets' Get Real with Sierra::
Growing up I had many ideas of what I wanted to be when I grew up- event planner was
never on that list. My career path bloomed in a panicked phone call with my best friend
about having to declare my major. There were too many things I wanted to do, but after a
lot of back and forth banter, I had an epiphany…and I never looked back.
I've had a couple jobs in the event industry, but I never felt like they were the right fit…until
I met Amber. It happened really fast, and I almost felt like it was too good to be true. Over
the past year and a half I have watched Heavenly Day grow into this amazing company and I
am so proud to be a part of the Heavenly Day team!
Aside from my professional career, here are some things about me that you may not know…
1. I have wanted to live in Austin as long as I can remember, and I got here as fast as I
could! Cool city with great people. And have you ever had Franklin's barbecue? You would
want to live here too.
2. I LOVE animals. Of all kind. Zoey and Gunner, my dogs, are my whole world and are
spoiled rotten.
3. While I grew up in a family full of Longhorns, I myself am actually a Red Raider. Wreck
Em, Tech!
4. New York City is my favorite place to visit; the energy, the people, the food, the
museums, the scenery. Thinking about it makes me want to pack my bags and hop on a
5. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I have a job that I love and am extremely
passionate about. Not everyone gets that lucky.
How did you land in your career?!

relational pessimism/
In most of life, I tend towards optimism. I dream big dreams. I see how bad circumstances can have a good outcome. I believe I can get 10 pounds of potatoes into a 5 pound bag. There is one area, though, where my outlook tends to be negative: friendships.
I have relational pessimism.
When I get together with moms I don't know for a play date, I assume it won't go anywhere after that. When I don't hear from a friend for awhile, I assume it's because they don't value my friendship. When I go into a social setting with lots of people, I assume people don't want to talk to me.
My pessimism is a wall. I have set it up over the years as a way to protect my hopes from being shattered. But the wall I've created blocks my view. My relational pessimism keeps me from seeing potential in my fellow human beings.
Believe it or not, the person who is making me realize this about myself, and making me want to change, is my son. Since we moved, we are all trying to make new friends. We are in that boat together. And while I am being pessimistic, he is being optimistic. The other day, when we were on our way home from preschool, he said some of the most powerful words about friendship that I have ever heard. When talking about another boy in his class, Cameron said,
"He's my friend. He just doesn't know it yet."
What a beautiful picture of childhood faith and optimism. He is seeing this other boy not in light of the possible hurt, but in light of the possible relationship. He is viewing his current reality through the eyes of potential future that is worth pursuing. And, he is basing a care for someone not based on what they have done for him, but simply based on who that other person is.
Friendships are tricky. They can lead to hurt feelings. But they can also lead to beauty and grace. God created us to be in community with others. When we stifle that, we are hindered from being the person God made us to be, and we are hindered from loving the way God made us to love.
God loved us before we did anything to deserve it. God has always related to us in light of our potential, not our current state. Romans 5:8 says, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
God also says that when we live in community, and love in the same way, that is what draws us closer to him. Friendships are worth the risk.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. – 1 John 4:10-12

Q: How is my door guided at the bottom?
A: All of our kits come standard with a concealed T-Guide (click here for more info). The T-Guide requires a groove in the bottom of the door. We also have a C-Guide option that doesn't require modifying the door bottom. The C-Guide cups the bottom of the door. C-Guides are available for doors 1" or thicker. We also offer a Wall Mounted Stay Roller for situations when it is difficult to mount a guide to the floor. It is ideal for outdoor settings and/or doors up to 2-3/4" thick.
Q: Why do I need a bottom guide:
A: The bottom guide helps keep the door stable. The door should always remain in contact with the bottom guide.
Q: What are Lag Bolts? Do I need them?
A: Lag bolts are used to attach the track to the wall. We have lags that match black, oil rubbed bronze, and stainless steel finishes.
Q: How much clearance do I need above the door?
A: It depends on the hardware style you choose. Each hardware kit has different clearance requirements. Please see technical information page and download the cut sheets for clearances.
Q: Can I order a custom track length or custom hole patterns?
A: Yes! Call or email for a custom quote. Custom orders have a 2-3 week lead time and a custom order fee.
Q: Can the track attach directly to sheetrock?
A: Yes, but only if you have wood blocking built into your wall. If you do not have wood blocking built into the wall, you will need to mount the hardware to a wood ledger board. The reason for this is that the hardware rails come with predrilled holes that do not line up with the studs in your wall. We recommend a wood ledger board consisting of a hardwood such as oak or fir. We recommend the dimensions be 1" thick, 5-1/2" tall, and 2" longer than the hardware rail length.
Q: How much should my door overlap the opening?
A: The suggested door-to-frame overlap is 1" per side for doors up to 54". For larger doors, use a 2"overlap per side.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: Yes, we can ship internationally. Please call us for a quote!
Q: Does this hardware have a Warranty?
A: Yes, our hardware comes with a 2 Year Limited Warranty. Download our warranty.
Q: How quickly will I receive my order?
A: Standard orders leave our facility within 1-3 business days plus an estimated 2-7 business days in transit.
Q: Who do you use for standard shipping?
A: We use FedEx Ground.
Q: What if my door falls between hardware kit sizes?
A: We recommend using the larger kit size with an adjustable end stop. The longer rail will give you plenty of room for your door to operate and the adjustable end stop will give you the ability to stop the door at the correct point on the rail. We also have custom kit options available for those special projects.
