Australia Post maintains a Postal Address File (PAF) database which contains Australian postal delivery addresses and their corresponding eight (8) character unique identification number known as a Delivery Point Identifier (DPID). While the PAF is concerned with postal address, for many persons' a postal address will be the same as their residential address. The PAF can be used to improve the recording of address data at the time of data collection.
The Postal Address File may be used at the time of data collection to confirm that the combined metadata items of address line, suburb/town/locality, Australian state/territory identifier and postcode - Australian are accurately recorded.
In October 1999, Australia Post introduced a bar-coding system for bulk mail lodgements. Agencies or establishments can use software to improve the quality of person address data it collects and records and, at the same time, receive financial benefits by reducing its postage expenses.
The DPID is easily converted to a bar code and can be included on correspondence and address labels. If the bar code is displayed on a standard envelope that passes through a mail-franking machine (e.g. as used by most major hospitals), the postage cost is reduced. Every three months, Australia Post provides updates to the PAF database. For more information, contact Australia Post.

Bogut's Impact On Warriors' Playoff Run
With a 100-91 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2, the Golden State Warriors remained undefeated (8-0) against the spread in the playoffs. They've been underrated by everyone -- fans, media and the oddsmakers -- because they aren't the same team that went 47-35 in the regular season. Without David Lee, they've completely changed their identity, going from playing two traditional big men to spreading the floor with four perimeter players. Lee's absence has also magnified the importance of Andrew Bogut, who has been an essential part of their postseason success after playing in only 32 regular season games.
Over the last two weeks, Bogut has been as healthy as he's been in years. As a result, he's started to show the form that made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, selected ahead of Chris Paul and Deron Williams. At 7'0, 260 with a 7'3 wingspan, Bogut is one of the biggest and most physical players in the NBA. Just as important, he has a great feel for the game for a player his size. Bogut is one of the rare centers who can be a difference maker on both sides of the ball. If he can stay healthy, he changes the outlook for the Warriors not only for this season, but far into the future.
Recognition has been a longtime coming for Bogut, remaining under the national radar for most of his career. A product of the Australian Institute of Sport, he broke through in the United States as a sophomore at Utah, carrying the Utes to the Sweet 16 while averaging 20 points, 12 rebounds and two assists per game on 62 percent shooting. There was no question he would go pro, just as there was no question the Bucks would draft him when they won the lottery. After playing in relative anonymity in the Mountain West, Bogut was right at home in Milwaukee, one of the smallest markets in the NBA.
Like most big men, he wasn't close to a finished product at the age of 21. As a rookie, he averaged nine points and seven rebounds per game on a team that snuck into the playoffs as a No. 8 seed. Over the next four seasons, he steadily increased his production as his role with Milwaukee increased. At the age of 25, he was averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.5 blocks a game on 52 percent shooting. A do-everything big man who could command a double team, find the open man and anchor a defense, Bogut was named to the All-NBA Third Team.
That, unfortunately, is when his body began to betray him. He suffered a gruesome injury to his shooting hand and elbow at the end of the 2010 season, keeping him out of the playoffs. A cascade of injuries, most notably a fractured ankle, followed, as he played in only 77 games over the next two seasons. When he was on the court, he was a shadow of himself, with his mobility and shooting range extremely limited. Milwaukee moved on, dealing Bogut to Golden State at the 2012 trade deadline. The Warriors were taking a huge risk, one that looked doomed when Bogut didn't suit up the rest of the season.
As this season began, Bogut's condition was the known unknown hovering over Golden State. After three years on the sidelines, he looked like the latest game-changing center unable to stay healthy in the modern NBA. He later admitted to considering retirement at various points in his seemingly never-ending rehab process. The Warriors, meanwhile, moved on without him, becoming one of the NBA's surprise teams by emphasizing a free-flowing uptempo attack. When he was finally cleared medically, his more deliberate style of play was an awkward fit. He had the lowest PER (13.2) of his career.
Lee's injury in Game 1 of their first round series against the Nuggets changed everything. Rather than trying to replace his team's only All-Star, Mark Jackson rolled the dice on a four-out system that left the mammoth Australian as the only big man on the floor. All of a sudden, everything clicked. Bogut's rebounding prowess and defensive savvy made up for Golden State's lack of size while the increased amount of space on offense made the Warriors perimeter players nearly unguardable, especially coming off screens from a 7'0, 260 center who knew how to push the bounds of legality.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have received the headlines, but Bogut has been just as vital to Golden State's playoff success. He's averaging 8 points, 11 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 2.0 assists on 62.5 percent shooting in only 29 minutes a game. He destroyed Denver's frontcourt, including a 14 point, 21 rebound performance in Game 6. It's no coincidence that San Antonio's most successful stretch in the second round, a 15-0 run at the end of regulation in Game 1, came when Gregg Popovich baited Jackson into going small and taking Bogut out of the game.
As impressive as Bogut's stats have been, his impact goes far beyond the box score. On defense, he walls off the paint and cleans the glass almost single-handedly, allowing Golden State to get out in transition. No one can shut down Tim Duncan, but Bogut can make him work for his points without a double team, removing a huge portion of the Spurs' offense. On offense, his ability to facilitate from the top of the key gives the Warriors another dimension when their jump-shots aren't falling. It's hard to speed up a team that runs offense through a seven-footer from the top of the key, since he can slow the pace and see over any double teams.
When healthy, Bogut is one of the best centers in the NBA. Going small around him has been a best of both worlds scenario for Golden State: all the benefits of a small-ball offense without the downsides that come on the other end of the floor. The results speak for themselves. Despite playing only three of their first eight playoff games at home, Golden State has gone 5-3 against two 57+ win teams, with two of those losses coming on dramatic buzzer-beaters from Andre Miller and Manu Ginobili. That's how much of an impact a center of Bogut's ability who knows how to play basketball can have on a team.
Going forward, Bogut's emergence gives the Warriors a tremendous amount of flexibility. If they are committed to Lee, his defensive and playmaking ability would allow them to build a two-post half-court team similar to Memphis and Indiana. If they want to stay with a four-out offense, they can shop Lee and create salary cap room for the summer of 2014. Either way, Bogut, still only 28, is the perfect long-term complement to Curry and Thompson. Big men, if they can stay healthy, age like wine. It's something every NBA team will at least have to think about when Andrew Bynum (25) and Greg Oden (25) hit the market this summer.

Well there is no beauty in gen 4 so is it possible ?
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is possible to evolve Feebas into Milotic, even though Pokémon Super Contests don't exist in the game. This is done by visiting the Haircut brothers in Goldenrod or by talking to Daisy in order to groom Feebas, which not only helps to raise its happiness, but also raises its Beauty. This is not displayed anywhere in-game, and the Pokémon must be viewed in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum in order for the change to be visible.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah intends to make another run at Olympic glory.
Gov. Gary Herbert said Monday that Utah and Salt Lake City are "ready, willing and able" to host the Winter Games in 2026.
Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker said he "wholeheartedly" endorses the idea of pursuing the Games again. Salt Lake City would be the host city.
The state and city are well-positioned financially and otherwise, the leaders said. Existing venues and infrastructure would need minimal updates, and the transportation system and hotel lodging has been expanded since Salt Lake City successfully hosted the 2002 Games, officials said.
"It's not a matter of can we do it. We've proven we can do it, and we can do it better than anybody in the world. We've got a great foundation to build upon," Herbert said.
The governor also touted the economic benefit and international exposure Utah would receive from recreating the magic of 2002.
The decision to bid for a future Winter Games comes after the state's Olympic Exploratory Committee unanimously recommended in October that Salt Lake City again go after the worldwide sporting and cultural event. The panel report was sent to the U.S. Olympic Committee, which hasn't decided whether to field an American bid city for 2026.
The Salt Lake Games were widely heralded by the International Olympic Committee and the rest of the sports world as the best-ever Winter Olympics after overcoming both the impact of an international bribery scandal and 9/11.
A future bid would be "open and transparent in every aspect," Herbert said.
"We'll bid on the up and up," he said. "We don't have to do anything squirrelly because we have the best venues, we have the best ability to host the world here and put on the best Winter Olympic Games possible."
The IOC and the USOC have changed the structure of a bid, Bullock said. IOC members who were long the recipients of lavish gifts no longer visit bid cities. Evaluations are done by commissions, he said.
Still, he said, the bid committee would have to be "completely" transparent.
"Every penny that's spent needs to be in the public eye from day one," Bullock said. "If that happens, we can avoid any problems that happened in the past."
Bullock said he doesn't perceive any IOC backlash as a result of the bid scandal.
"I think the larger issue at this point is that Salt Lake hosted the Games 10 years ago," he said. "The IOC likes to move things around the world, so that's our biggest negative."
But, he said, the challenge with the Winter Games is finding a large enough urban center near the mountains. "There are fewer and fewer choices, so that is obviously in Salt Lake's favor," he said.
The USOC is currently trying to determine whether it might be better to bid for the 2024 Summer Games rather than the 2026 Winter Games. A decision is still several months away, said Fraser Bullock, chief operating officer for the 2002 Olympics and adviser to the Utah exploratory committee.
Even if the USOC decides to accept bids for 2026, an American contender likely won't be chosen for at least another four years. The IOC will name the 2026 Winter Games host city in 2019.
Herbert acknowledged that bidding for the Games would be expensive.
The report pegs the cost of a bid at about $1 million at the USOC level and between $25 million and $30 million to compete internationally. All of the bid costs would be paid privately, the governor said.

Full press release for Mega's oft-delayed, but long-awaited 2-disc September 27th release.
One of hip-hop's most prolific poets, Cormega, announced the release of his forthcoming musical collection:Cormega: Raw Forever to be released September 27th. The double disc set features a collection of Cormega's classics as selected by fans and a companion disc featuring a live band, The Revelations (of Wu-Tang's Chamber Music and Legendary Weapons fame) whose remixes bring a new live sound and instrumentation to some of Mega's fan favorites.
The classics included on disc 1 were easy for him to select because the selections came from his active message board on Legalhustle.net and from paying close attention to audience response at his live shows. "For Raw Forever, I knew I had to put "Saga," "Killaz Theme," and "Dead Man Walking," on there even though, I, the new Cory, am not a big fan of "Dead Man Walking." I don't use as much profanity as I used to and I'm not as graphic now as I used to be. I know Dead Man Walking really resonates with people, so I included it for the fans. There are also songs that I really love like "Love Is Love" which I added to give the collection some balance." Other tracks include "Journey," "Testament," 'True Meaning," and more.
The music on the second disc is a mixture of original songs and Cormega classics remixed and reinterpreted by The Revelations Band and features Lil Fame of M.O.P. and Baby Pun (Big Pun's son); AZ and Nature; Blaq Poet, Tragedy Khadafi and Havoc; Red Alert, Parrish Smith, Grand Puba, KRS One & Big Daddy Kane. "The first time I worked with The Revelations was on the Wu Chamber Music project. The idea was really raw to me. I always had the curiosity of working with a live band, but what actually manifested our collaborations was seeing the audience's response when we performed together at Santos [Party House in New York City] September 1, 2010. The response from the crowd was over-whelming! It was incredible!" After the show, we recorded and leaked a remix of my song, 'Journey' and it too got a lot of love, so I decided to take the experiment even further and see how it would sound if they redid some of my other songs and that's how this project came about."
"I wanted to do Raw Forever to bring something back to hip-hop. As far as the culture [of Hip Hop], I think of it as a pretty girl…If you remember my song, 'American Beauty,' you recall that I compared hip-hop to a woman. Hip-hop was a beautiful woman, and then she started hangin' out with some chicken-heads, and she wanted to be like them. The chicken-heads took her to a club and introduced her to some dudes and said, "If you do this, they'll give you this." That's where Hip Hop is; she started becoming a whore. At this particular moment, she needs some sophistication. A lot of emcees, don't want to grow up, and that's what's making Rap/Hip-Hop look bad."
Although he considers himself a veteran after over a decade recording, Cormega explains that it took him a while to finally decide to put out a best of collection. "I always wanted to do aBest Of, but I didn't feel like I accomplished enough – sometimes I still [feel that way]. At the end of the day, I've been in the game for a while. I've been making albums for 10 years and while I consider myself to be a veteran now; I don't consider myself to be a legend – that's a word that's too easily [said] from people's tongues. Certain people ain't legends. You can't call me a legend, and then call Eric B. or Pete Rock "legends." They've contributed so much more than me, and they've had so much impact that callin' me a legend is an insult to real legends. I finally decided to put all the songs that people love most together in one compilation, but I also wanted to offer them something new too. The band definitely brings a different vibe to my lyrics. For example we remixed the song "Get It In" from Born And Raised and added [Big] Pun's son, Baby Pun. The version on Raw Forever sounds better than the one on the original album!"
"It's not on this album, but The Revelation and I also recorded a benefit single "I Made A Difference" to support the work that Sean Penn's organization is doing in Haiti. I visited Haiti after the earthquake and was so moved by the spirit of the people that I wanted to do something to help. The Revelations laid down the instrumentals with keyboards by Jazimoto and I got Redman, Steele, Stic Man of Dead Prez, Lil Fame of MOP, and singer/songwriter Maya Azucena to record verses. The song was released digitally through RED/Sony distribution and is available on iTunes."
When asked how it feels to compact almost his entire musical legacy onto a double disc and then experiment with a band to recreate classics, Cormega responds, "When I look back at my career, I see growth. Born and Raised might be my favorite Cormega album; some people might say I'm crazy for that and argue that The Realness is better. I think Born and Raised is my best album, 'cause it shows growth. I must've lost a few people with that, 'cause not everybody's ready to grow. Rap is like the guy that's getting older that doesn't want to get older, that still wants to be down. There's nothing wrong with growing and that's what I'm doing with Raw Forever, bringing a little sophistication back to hip-hop. When you have a live band, everybody is bringin' a different ingredient to it, that's what keeps music alive."
That's a long ass press release. This might be good, though.
I'm not reading all that… where's the album
Love the cover art, looks like a retro jazz album cover… Anyways Cormega announced the was working with the Revelations well over a year ago and I was so stoked! But to find out they are just redoing old songs and not doing an entirely new album makes this release under whelming. I know it will sound tight but was really looking forward to new music. Also I own every Cormega album so I don't need a greatest hits compilation. Hopefully Cormega and the Revelations will makes some original music together… Definitely hope they go on tour as I will definitely go see them together!
I agree. I think if anything, this compilation will add re-play value to his songs. But I agree 100, I would've welcomed some new joints…
What the fuck has he gone soft for? Dead Man Walking is a DOPE SONG…it's VIVID…it doesn't mean CORMEGA is a VIOLENT/NEGATIVE slanted rapper. It just means he's a DOPE EMCEE. DEAD MAN WALKING gets FIVE MICS from me. Cormega, DO THAT SONG LIVE.

Mangaung Cultural Route
Did you know?
The theme of the Macufe Mangaung Festival is: 'When your heart and soul is African'.
The Bloemfontein-Mangaung area is where JRR Tolkien (Lord of the Rings trilogy) was born - and where the country's ruling party (the African National Congress) has its roots as a liberation movement.
Such a pedigree adds to the lustre of one of South Africa's most attractive cities, a metropolis that has not lost too much of its 'country' feel. As the heart of the Free State province, Mangaung offers a lively township tour.
The Mangaung Cultural Route takes you past a number of historical sites relating to the early days of the ANC - then swings into a vibrant night life that includes jazz clubs and traditional restaurants.
At the Rhythm & Blues b&b in Mangaung Township, you're assured of comfortable lodgings, a hearty breakfast and dinner on request. The establishment can handle a day-conference for 100 delegates.
This exciting cultural route in South Africa was developed to promote entrepreneurship in the previously disadvantaged communities around Bloemfontein and has been set up to portray the colonial history of the area, the period of the liberation struggle and post-apartheid developments.
Your trained tour guide takes you on the Mangaung Cultural Route from Bloemfontein CBD to the Wesleyan Church and Waaihoek, one of the original township settlements that existed before the forced removals took place. You visit the old homes of some of the ANC founder members and the Batho area, where the streets are named after them. After a stopover at the Youth Memorial, guests are taken to a local club or a restaurant for some Mangaung social life.
If you're lucky enough to be in Mangaung, South Africa, during the month of October, you'll experience the Macufe Mangaung African Cultural Festival, ten days of top-class music, drama, fine art and traditional arts and crafts that attracts more than 140 000 visitors.

Fireworks should be regulated or banned
It is now 4 am on January 2, and I am unable to sleep due to the incessant explosions of fireworks in my area of Carenage. These infrequent and sporadic explosions no doubt, are to ensure no one within half a mile gets any sleep, and if you do fall into a doze, you are jolted out of it in a violent manner which surely can cause a heart attack on those so prone.
I called the police station on School Street and spoke to a corporal who stated that he is quite able to see and hear these explosions as they were occurring nearby and further responded that it's not against the law. I directed him to a newspaper article which indicated it is illegal under the Summary Offences Act 11:02. It was also stated by Insp Archie in one of her briefings.
We, too, have to be realistic and realise that it will be difficult for the police to monitor and act on these explosions as they occur scattered and infrequently. Apart from the immediate visual impact, fireworks and the following explosions are all negative to our living. We as citizens in a civilised society are entitled to an unpolluted environment of air, water and noise just to name a few, and certainly the right to enjoy a restful night.
To alleviate this burgeoning problem I suggest: the import duties be raised so that it will not be worthwhile to purchase, that only ten minutes before and after midnight fireworks be allowed, that it be banned altogether.

Still thinking about my fave Bluebirds.

I saw the very youthful Ethan Steifel & Yvonne Borree when NYCB's production was new, and before that at ABT I saw Karena Brock & Ted Kivitt, who were superb.

Lovebird you are so right....--she shimmers, her whole upper body is winged.
That video is mostly kinda awful, except for Sibley -- Fonteyn is uncharacteristically awkward as Aurora; the best things on it are Gerd Larson as he queen (she is fantastic), Park as one of hte precious-metal fairies, and this absolutely transcendant performance by Antoinette Sibley as Princess Florine. It's not just technique, of which she has plenty -- it's the beauty of her line, the softness of her breathing, the delicacy of her head positions, the remarkable flexibility of her torso -- she's rarely straight up and down -- though her legs are very true and her aplomb is fantastic, she does her double ronde de jambes in the coda with her torso at quite a tilt -- beautifully lifted out of the hips, but the tilt is almost Cunninghamesque -- very classical, truly beautiful, and at high speed. Her lines are unbelievable. And all of it is so dancey, musical in the extreme.

Pregnancy (cont.)In this Article
What is the second trimester (week 13-week 28)?Most women find the second trimester of pregnancy easier than the first. But it is just as important to stay informed about your pregnancy during these months. You might notice that symptoms like nausea and fatigue are going away. But other new, more noticeable changes to your body are now happening. Your abdomen will expand as the baby continues to grow. And before this trimester is over, you will feel your baby beginning to move! As your body changes to make room for your growing baby, you may have:

I was hoping to upgrade my APP 2.6.4 to APG today at the differential price of 100 euro instead of the "first time" price of 199 euro
I got as far as the Order button for an upgrade as shown but then I couldn't find the upgrade order line - only the price "as new".
I must be doing something wrong but I just can't see it. I logged the question on the Kolor Contact Form a couple of hours ago but I haven't heard anything back yet (yes, I know it's Sunday )
Anyone tried this and know how to do it
The Kolor support team have now replied and provided me with the correct promotion code which needs to be included on the order at checkout and I now have a fully registered version of APG 2.6.4

Understanding Table Relationships
You've already learned in Lesson 2, "Working in Access," that the best way to design a database is to create tables that hold discrete types of information. For example, one table can contain customer information, and another table can hold order information. By creating relationships between tables, you enable forms, queries, and
Suppose that you have two tables in your database. One table, Customers, contains
The secret to creating relationships revolves around the primary keys for your tables. For example, in a Customers table, the primary key is the Customer ID. It uniquely identifies each customer record. Then, when you design an Orders table, you make sure that you include the Customer ID field. In the Orders table, the Customer ID is not the primary key (it is actually called the foreign key); a field such as Order Number would be the primary key field. You include the Customer ID field in the Orders table so that order information can be linked to customer information in the Customers table. Plain English

In a bid to shore up confidence in the Nigeria capital market, members of the National Assembly (NASS) have promised to assist the market in restoring investors confidence.
Addressing the market community at the Capital Market Committee (CMC) meeting held at the Lagos office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the leadership of the house at both the Senate and the House of Representatives promised to be part of confidence building efforts in the stock market.
Specifically, Hon. Herman Hembe, the Chairman of the House Committee who was at the quarterly meeting for the first time, said he was impressed with the meeting and promised that the house will help the capital market in ensuring sustained growth in the market. "We are very happy with what we are seeing here today and we, on our part, will do whatever is necessary to support the capital market".
The Chairman Senate Committee on Capita market, Senator Adeseun who was represented by the Clerk of the Committee, Barr. Sammy Efetia, also expressed pleasure in the meeting.
Meanwhile, the various confidence building strategies recently embarked upon by the new management at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have started to yield positive results as the market performance on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has been on the increase in recent times.
Apart from the NSE All-Share index which went up drastically in the last two weeks, the market capitalisation which was around N6 trillion went up to N7 trillion in the period while volumes of shares traded upon in the period also increased.
Market operators linked the performance to a number of reasons, including the new posture and actions taken by the new management of the Commission. These, according to them, include the recent registration meeting the commission held in Lagos, timely treatment of requests being made to the commission and various meetings the new management held with various stakeholders in the market
For instance Emeka Madubike, President Association of Stockbroking Houses Owners of Nigeria (ASHON) said if sustained, the confidence building posture of the new team in the Commission will surely put the market on the part of growth.
"You can see the atmosphere of the meeting. It is very friendly, open, people are freer to express themselves and this will result in positive ways to move the market forward. The Acting Director General is also very positive because he knows where the shoes pinches" Madubuke declared.
"The issue of Registration in Lagos is also a big plus for the Acting DG, Ibrahim Bolaji Bello. This is what we have been advocating for because it is a means of reducing cost of getting more operators into the market and also make us meet some regulatory requirements.
"In fact, his initial steps are very good and we hope he sustains it".

Construction work on the "centennial village" project came to a halt during the initial process of Angelo State University being transferred from the Texas state to the Texas Tech university systems.
A-S-U officials say a final agreement with the contractor is expected to be settled the middle of August -- and that will clear the way for construction to continue.

Welcome. I am Colin Coonsis, a jeweler since the age of 8. I have been recognized by a number of institutions and individuals who have viscerally and collectively influenced me through their own appreciation and passion for art. Though my work is mostly appreciated for Zuni styles the nature in which I express myself through my work attests to the passion and drive that I have only begin to realize as an artist. I am honored and humbled to call myself an artist but only recently have I realized that I am an artist. By using jewelry making techniques that span several generations and a wordly influence, I have delved into an universe of art entwined with culture, legacy, and tradition that I want to share with the world. This is a legacy I feel I must carry on as an artist, and this is the legacy that I carry on through my own interpretations of art. - Colin Coonsis 2011

Last month, I took place in a Christmas in July Beauty Swap organised by Samantha and received, among many wonderful things, the B Collection Nail Polish Set by Bloom from my swapping partner, Lauren.
These colours are gorgeous and screaming for the cold to end so that they can make an appearance on warm summer's days with cocktails and parties. I don't know what it is, that's just what the colours tell me! I love them and although wearing them in August is slightly premature, I am slowly remembering what balmy summer nights and going out without a jacket on feel like.
I've only tried one nail polish shade by Bloom (see here) and upon applying the B Collection, I'm reminded how much I love the formula and am shocked I haven't bought more!
The polishes go on so easily and smoothly in all three shades – St Tropez, Dubai, and Hollywood and even one coat gives excellent coverage.
I wasn't sure how to approach three shades on ten nails so I decided to go with completely random and added another coat and some spots and stripes, just to shake things up a bit!
The opacity of the colours is pretty impressive and I love the sherbert-y matte bright colours! I definitely need to remember how impressed I am with Bloom nail polishes and add a few more to my collection because they are pretty impressive AND Australian made. Five stars, in my opinion.
Bring on summer (well maybe just for a little while then bring back the cooler weather)! And if you're anything like the lovely Samantha and Lauren when it comes to summer tans, you should check out their Bronzed Ambition self tan project here and here.

From the kids that hung out with Him to the lone woman who just wanted to touch the hem of His garment, Jesus had an alluring draw for the hungry hearts of His day. He simply offers us what we are missing in life - a whole and complete relationship with Him. You see, at the core of who we are as human beings, there is the need to be accepted. He promised to meet us - right where we are. The Bridge is all about people meeting Jesus and getting to know Him better and better. So, if you are looking for a place to belong, don't wait until you think you fit in. Come as you are to The Bridge and find the irresistible love of God that accepts you right where you are.

It will help you to deal with life. God places great importance in His Word on worship. Therefore, we do as well. Our style of worship here at The Bridge is contemporary.

Apple's fifth-gen iPhone rumored to have curved glass screen
The latest rumor from Apple's supply chain in Taiwan is that the fifth-generation iPhone will have a curved glass cover for its touchscreen display.Sources in the supply chain reportedly told DigiTimes that Apple has purchased between 200 and 300 glass cutting machines to be used by glass makers for the production of curved displays. Cover glass makers are said to be "reluctant to commit investment" in such equipment because of costs.
"The glass slicing machines are currently being stored at associated assembly plants and will be brought online once yield rates for the production of curved glass reaches a satisfactory level," Monday's report said.
Because the "iPhone 5" is set to launch later than usual this year, suppliers do not yet have a timetable for volume production of the next-generation device. Apple reportedly continues to work with suppliers including cover glass, glass cutting, lamination and touch sensors to improve yield rates.
The concept of a curved glass smartphone screen was a major feature of the Google Nexus S, which launched in the U.S. last December. The flagship device from Google, which was the first to run the "Gingerbread" Android mobile operating system, sports a 400-by-800-pixel display on a unique "contour display" with curved glass.
As for the fifth-generation iPhone, the most recent details have suggested the device will have a camera lens and LED flash spread further apart on the rear of the device. This would allow for improved photos in low-lighting conditions by reducing the "red eye" effect sometimes created by camera flash.
Other reports have suggested that Apple is looking to slightly enlarge the display of the next iPhone, utilizing an edge-to-edge Retina Display while retaining the same form factor as the current iPhone 4. However, Monday's report is the first indication of a supposed curved screen for the next-generation iPhone.

Flat Shoal Creek Paddling Guide
By SUZANNE WELANDER
Flat Shoal Creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee in middle Georgia, flows southwestward, draining portions of Troup and Harris Counties north of Columbus. Take the name literally: the section described below is mostly flat-water followed by a single, nearly mile-long shoal. Following a fairly constant gradient throughout its length, the shoal sports a dazzling display of shoal lilies in mid-may.
TRIP SUMMARY: Class: I-II; Length: 5.2 miles; Time: 3 hours; Gauge: visual; Level: 3.5 feet; Gradient: 3 feet per mile (83) Scenery: B-
DESCRIPTION: An intimate stream except at the broader shoals, Flat Shoals Creek is shady and inviting. The creek runs between steep, sandy, clay banks averaging 4-to-6 feet in height, surrounded by an oak-hickory forest with a plentiful sprinkling of loblolly pines on the rocky points. Paralleled by 1-85, this is one of the most easily visited streams in the Piedmont. Though runnable below the US 27 bridge, logjams punctuate the stream in the upper sections. Downstream the channel is clearer, bur access is a major problem since very few take-outs are available. Described here is a relatively painless 5-mile run from GA 18 to GA 103, flowing through 4 miles of pleasantly forested flat-water followed by long, delightful, and attention-demanding Class II + shoals. In these shoals there are no big drops, but the ledges follow one another almost without interruption. The going here is frequently technical and requires good water-reading ability and quick thinking. In low water expect to get stuck a few times. In high water beginners may be in for a long tumbling swim. Scout or portage from the right bank as water levels require. The shoal lilies, when in bloom, cluster on the banks and grow in patches within the shoals themselves. When the water is up, they add another dimension of difficulty to the shoals as you maneuver to avoid them while attempting to find a suitable channel through the rocky ledges. An endangered species indigenous only to the fall-line shoals of Piedmont streams, their habitat is shrinking due to dams and increased siltation in the rivers.
SHUTTLE: From 1-85 near West Point, take Exit 2 and get onto GA 18 east, then take GA 103 south. Proceed to the bridge crossing the creek; this is the take-out. For the put-in, go north to GA 18 and turn right. The put-in is on this road.
GAUGE: A gauge is located at GA 103. The creek is runnable most of the year, more reliably in winter and spring. At 3.5 feet the water barely covers the rocks in the shoals and begins washing out the channels.
