PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers cautioned each other about a let down after rolling to halftime with a commanding 14-point lead over Jacksonville on Sunday.
It happened anyway.
Though the Steelers hung on for a 17-13 win, their inability to move the ball on offense and get off the field on defense in the second half continued a troubling trend for a club that considers itself one of the AFC's elite.
Managing one half of good football is easy. Two is a problem.
Though Pittsburgh (4-2) has won four of five, it has only dominated in spurts. The first half against the Jaguars, Seahawks and Titans. The first quarter against Indianapolis.
Good enough to win against the league's also-rans. The Steelers know it's not good enough to get them where they want to go.
"Maybe I need to keep the guys going," quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "I felt like I tried to do that, but maybe I didn't do enough."
A week after lighting up Tennessee for five touchdowns on mostly throws underneath, Roethlisberger tried to air it out against the Jaguars. It worked for 30 minutes. He hit Mike Wallace for a pair of deep completions — including a 28-yard touchdown — and Emmanuel Sanders for another.
In the second half he continued to test Jacksonville. Though Wallace and company had little trouble getting behind the secondary, Roethlisberger couldn't get them the ball on a windy day at Heinz Field. Roethlisberger completed just 1 of 5 passes after the break.
"My biggest thing is just don't underthrow it, but they got up in the wind and just kept going," Roethlisberger said. "I got to connect on them. That's on me."
Though he was hardly alone in his frustration. The Steelers had a chance to go up 21-0 in the second quarter after running back Rashard Mendenhall ripped off a 68-yard run. Two plunges into the line and a fade pass to Antonio Brown that fluttered over Brown's head forced the Steelers to settle for a field goal.
A touchdown would have likely forced the Jaguars to abandon the run completely and rely on rookie Blaine Gabbert. Instead the stand seemed to revitalize Jacksonville's defense. The Steelers wouldn't score again, though kicker Shaun Suisham missed a 46-yard field goal wide left.
"We (want to be) a team that is good and executes on third down and in the red zone and not turn the ball over," Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward said. "If we do that, we're a pretty good ball club. We just have to be consistent. We are not doing it on a consistent level yet. But we're getting there."
The Steelers will need to get there soon if they want to prove their slow start is just that and not indicative of another Super Bowl hangover.
Pittsburgh travels to Arizona (1-4) next Sunday before a two-game homestand against New England and Baltimore. The Cardinals are no pushovers, and the Steelers are just 1-2 on the road this year, with the victory a 23-20 escape against winless Indianapolis.
Hanging with the Patriots and the Ravens — who have more combined wins (9) than the four teams Pittsburgh has beaten (6) — will require more than a solid half, and the Steelers know it.
"We have to keep the same intensity the whole game," Wallace said.
On both sides of the ball.
Though Pittsburgh's defense limited the Jaguars to 209 yards, Jacksonville made enough plays in the second half to hang around. The Jaguars scored their only touchdown on a 17-play, 80-yard drive that took nearly 10 minutes off the clock.
The drive included an automatic first down after Pittsburgh's Ryan Mundy roughed Jacksonville punter Nick Harris and a fourth-down conversion.
"They continued running the ball and we just did a bad job of tackling," Pittsburgh linebacker LaMarr Woodley said.
And a poor job of putting a team away, again.
Still, the Steelers would rather apologize for sluggish play in a win than the alternative. Despite their somewhat bumpy start, they're right where they expected entering the meat of the season.
"We won the game," Ward said, "that's all that matters."

One of the best parts of editing the Local is the knowledge that Local readers are a literate lot.
I don't have a shred of scientific evidence to support that claim, but I have a library's worth of anecdotes to back it up. More so than most little weeklies, we can assume that our readers will get a better level of writing and also tend to appreciate things like literature, independent film and good music.
It's because of that fact that one of our most popular columnists in print is Hugh Gilmore, whose Enemies of Reading column is now in its fifth year of publication. What began as a year-long tale of trying to read 100 books in a year has become a regular check-in with a keen, literary observer. The Local might be one of the only little weekly papers with a columnist like Gilmore, who doesn't have to dumb things down for the middle-of-the-road and can still write about literature and find an audience.
It is also because of our audience that we can run a relatively successful fiction and poetry section, now in its fourth year. Again, we asked our readers to submit poetry and prose and received a healthy response, particularly for poetry. And, yes, people are still writing poetry.
Choosing what to publish was, again, difficult. We only have so much space and there are inevitably those poems that were worth sharing but for which there is just not enough room. In this issue you will find two stories and five poems from readers. Again, as last year, East Falls resident Horace Deacon wowed us with his whip-fast and humorous narrative in "The loneliness of the power-walking moralist." Also worthy, we felt, was Gene Caffrey's coming of age story, "The view from McDonald's."
Also, this year we introduced a sub-category for high-school students and have, here, printed a story and three poems by aspiring writers. It seems we have school-aged kids in our area who are every bit as well read as their parents. This is a new part of the annual Fiction and Poetry edition that I'd like to see grow in the future.
One handy intersection has been that of the Fiction and Poetry Edition with Chestnut Hill's Book Festival. The festival, now in its third year, is building on the same foundation as the literary supplement of the Local: Hillers and Local readers like their books and enjoy meeting and hearing authors talk about books and writing. Likely, those of you who are interested in this edition will also be very interested in the two-days of literary events on the Avenue this weekend.
The Local is again participating in this year's festival by hosting a reading and discussion with the authors published in this edition. That event will take place from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Sunday, July 10 at Rollers Flying Fish, 8142 Germantown Ave.
Finally, the last thing I'd like to do is appeal to our literary readers to give us advice on how to improve the section next year. Last year, several people who attended our event said they'd like to see more regular fiction and poetry offerings in the Local. Some said they'd like to see a regular online literary edition. These are both sound ideas that we're looking into and discussing. Any other advice would be appreciated and considered.
If you have any ideas, drop me a note via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll do my best to respond to suggestions.
In the meantime, enjoy the reading break.

Spraying on your Bajaj Dominar 400 Chain Lube
Motorcycle chain lubes contain some great formulations, but really don't help unless they are on your chain. Spray on lubes can be expensive and as soon as you start to ride, they begin to wear or fling off. Because we know this we tend to over-lube the chain. Spray on motorcycle chain lubes are prone to over spray onto other parts of your bike (like your rear tire), or your garage floor, just plain making a mess.
Ready, Aim, Fire
Wiping on your Bajaj Dominar 400 Chain Lube
Many motorcycle manufacturers recommend products, such as gear oil for chain lube. You can try to avoid the over spray issue and wipe on your motorcycle chain lube, which can be equally as messy. You can end up going thru piles of paper towels or rags. Put on too much lube and you end up with drips all over the garage floor.
Apply just a thin film
Lube while the iron is hot
Your service manual most likely says to apply your Bajaj Dominar 400 Chain Lube to the chain while it is warm. That means that you need to don all your gear and take the bike out for a quick warm up spin or do it after you ride, when you least feel like it. If you are like most of us, you will do it when it is cold and convenient.
Tried them all yet?
How often to lube
So, you go by the book (service manual) and are lubing your chain every few hundred miles. If you are a commuter, that means you are doing the deed at least once a week. If you are a road trip, you may be applying your motorcycle chain lube daily. After a while you are getting to know your drive train on a first name basis.
Late again!
Are you ready to break the vicious cycle? Are you ready to ride? You can apply your Bajaj Dominar 400 Chain Lube while you ride with a very simple device with no moving parts or connections to the motorcycle's systems.

Scratch-Built Scrambler: Jeep CJ-8Posted in Project Vehicles on December 1, 2010
The closer we get to installing the final few products on the Scratch-Built Scrambler, the more we can feel the wind blowing over the bikini top and smell the tire rubber burning while we push the Jeep through our favorite rock garden.
We can't tell you exactly how many years we have been wrenching, welding, and cutting, but a child would have gone from birth to Little League in that time. A few shops have helped with the build and done a phenomenal job at helping piece this rig together, and we greatly appreciate the help.
We've jumped over a couple of hurdles in the build that have gotten us much closer to driving it out of the shop, namely the MagnaFlow exhaust system and Currie Enterprises' front and rear Antirock sway bar systems. We enlisted the help of the guys at Overkill Engineering again because the sway bars on the Jeep are a custom installation and Overkill does fabrication work. Both the sway bars and the exhaust system will give the Jeep the better on- and off-highway performance we'll really appreciate once it's out of the shop.

When the iPhone 5 was unveiled recently it was widely predicted that demand for the pre-order would hit the roof. The reality has seen these predictions come true, as demand has been as strong if not stronger than many had said.
Within an hour of pre-orders being available on Apple's website the iPhone 5 release date for online orders was pushed back two weeks. Those lucky enough to have pre-ordered the device in that opening hour will receive their next generation iPhones on Sept. 21 as Apple had initially announced. However, those who were late to pre-order theirs will have to wait longer if they want to order online. Although an alternative for them would be to queue up at a local Apple Store on Sept. 21 when the device becomes available for over the counter sales.
All three models of the iPhone 5 – the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions – have been hit by the two week delay for online ordering due to the high demand, and it is thought the date will be pushed back further still if people wait too long.
The delay has hit deliveries in the United States, as well as the U.K., France, Germany and Australia.
A similar incident took place when Apple release the iPhone 4S, however, at that time it took Apple about 22 hours to change the pre-ordering status to the delayed date. The same happened with the iPhone 4; with that device taking 20 hours before a delay in pre-ordering was announced on the Apple website.
Many analysts have predicted that Apple will easily ship more than 10 million iPhone 5's in September alone, which would smash all previous records for smartphone device sales.
The iPhone 5 is also available for pre-ordering from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. However, if you are a T-Mobile customer you will have to wait a little longer for the unlocked version of the iPhone 5 to be released. The unlocked iPhone is expected sometime in October, about a month after the network-locked phones become available.
Another network to get the device will be Cricket, which has said it will have iPhone 5's available on its network from Sept. 28.

Today is a huge day in terms of significance for AMD, who just moments ago launched the first major redesign of their processor architecture since 2003. AMD has not been able to keep the new architecture much of a secret as the new 'Bulldozer' core architecture is widely known amongst enthusiasts and gamers. Another reason that so many people know about Bulldozer-based CPUs is because AMD already announced Valencia and Interlagos processors for the server market. Today is significant in the sense that AMD is launching the first new Bulldozer-based desktop CPUs that are codenamed Zambezi and feature up to eight cores.
Bulldozer will be the first major redesign of AMD's processor architecture since 2003, when AMD launched its Athlon 64/Opteron (K8) processors. Bulldozer features two 128-bit FMA-capable FPUs that can be combined into one 256-bit FPU. This design is accompanied by two integer cores each with 4 pipelines (the fetch/decode stage is shared). Bulldozer will also introduce shared L2 cache in the new architecture. A 16-core processor design would feature eight of these modules, but the operating system will recognize each module as two physical cores. The module, described as two cores, can be contrasted with a single Intel core with HyperThreading. The difference between the two approaches is that Bulldozer provides dedicated schedulers and integer units for each thread, whereas in Intel's core all threads must compete for available
execution resources.
The Bulldozer die is built by GlobalFoundaries using the 32nm DSL SOI (silicon-on-insulator) technology process and measures in at ~315mm2 in size with a transistor count of ~2 billion.
The AMD Bulldozer lineup consists of seven high-end consumer desktop processors that are clearly aimed at performance minded individuals. This is made evident by the fact that the AMD FX CPU series does not feature an integrated GPU (unlike Llano and Ontario/Zacate), so you'll have to use discrete graphics with one of these processors. The entire AMD FX CPU series is designed for use with socket AM3+ motherboards, so they will work best with 990FX, 990X and 970X chipsets by AMD. Older AM3 motherboards will also support the Zambezi FX processors after a BIOS update. AMD's new FX processor family consists of the following models: FX-4100, FX-B4150, the FX-4170, FX-6100, FX-8100, FX-8120 and FX-8150 The nomenclature of the AMD FX CPU series is fairly easy to remember. It is broken down into FX-81XX, FX-61XX and FX-41XX model groups, with the first number being the number of cores that the processor has. The second number is a '1' on all of the processors and that stands for single CPU socket configurations and then the final two numbers are to show how fast the processor clock speed is.
AMD isn't launching the entire Bulldozer FX processor lineup today though as just four are being released. The first four FX CPU models that will be available are the 8-core FX-8150 and 8120, 6-core FX-6100 and the 4-core FX-4100. Pricing on these processors is fairly reasonable with prices starting at $115 for the FX-4100 and topping out at $245 for the FX-8150.
Although the AMD FX series of unlocked processors brings back the FX branding from a era when AMD was able to compete with any of Intel's processors that is not true for this generation. The flagship processor from this series is designed to compete with the Intel Core i5-2500K and the Core i7-2600K. AMD isn't going after the super high-end LGA1366 platforms here, which obviously means that when the Intel LGA2011 platform comes out with Sandy Bridge-E processors next month that Intel will once again dominate that market segment. That said, the AMD FX-8150 does stack up well on paper compared to the Intel Core i5/i7 series for the LGA1155 platform.
AMD sent us this image of how their entire desktop processor lineup compares to what Intel is offering. The Intel LGA1366 platform is missing here as we'd expect to see the Intel Core i7-990X at the very top of the Intel processors.
AMD has for years been marketing themselves as being a cost effective platform for consumers. Nothing has changed there as AMD still claims they offer equal, if not better gaming performance, on the FX-8150 when compared to the Intel Core i7-980X. Those readers that know how to overclock might laugh at a slide like this as you can buy an Intel Core i7-950 processor for $199 and overclock it and the platforms would be at the same cost.
The processor that AMD sent to Legit Reviews for testing is the FX-8150. This processor is priced at $245 and AMD said that it was priced to compete against the Intel Core i5-2500K. We feel this is a stretch as the Intel Core i5-2500K can be found for under $220 on PriceGrabber.com or $179.99 in-store at Micro Center. The Intel Core i7-2600K is priced at under $315 on PriceGrabber.com or $249.99 in-store at Micro Center. We'll let you determine which processors line up to what!
Let's take a closer look at the new Bulldozer architecture and then get to benchmarking!

OpenXava 4.2.3 released
Project management with Noobeek
December 12, 2017
As software developers we need a way to manage our projects, at least we need to track feature requests and bugs. An option for this is to use a closed application such as JIRA, but many times these applications has too many features or do not adapt well to our way of working. Another alternative is to create our own application to manage our project, but in this case we have to expend a lot of time for this, time that we need to develop our main product. This is true even with OpenXava, though OpenXava is fast as hell, because you have to create a project, write code, prepare a server, prepare a Tomcat, create a database, etc.
We present Noobeek as a perfect fit for this case. With Noobeek you can develop your issue tracker in a few minutes and to have it in production instantly. Morever, you can modify it in any moment with immediate effect, therefore you can adapt it to the way you work.
If you don't believe us, look at this video, where in just 8 minutes a project management application is developed and ready for production:

Psychology student Raisa Garcia selected for prestigious training program after only her first year at Alliant
Clinical Psychology PhD Student at Alliant's California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) in San Francisco, Raisa Garcia, is working this summer as a trainee at the Office of Strategic Priorities within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in Rockville, MD. She was selected through the Hispanic-Serving Health Professions Schools (HSHPS) program.
HSHPS offers a very limited number of paid training programs across the United States and Latin America in government agencies and academic institutions. Programs are geared towards graduate students who would like to gain health and policy experience and who are committed to improving the health of Hispanics. The goals of the training program are to increase the overall knowledge of public health, provide the necessary clinical and research skills needed to enhance trainees' careers in the health field and increase the overall understanding of Hispanic health issues.
The HSHPS program matches trainees, based on their area of interest and experience, with a mentor who is a skilled professional. Trainees assist their mentor with various aspects of a policy or research project and also have opportunities to attend seminars and networking events.
The Office of Strategic Priorities (OSP), where Garcia is training, does analysis of health systems and financial issues related to the primary care/behavioral health interface. The office provides technical expertise on financial issues (including Medicaid and Medicare) and quality of care issues concerning primary care providers and behavioral health. Garcia is currently working on several policy projects showcasing the link between behavioral and oral health with primary care. Issues touched on include diabetes and oral health, smokeless tobacco intervention, tele-behavioral health and substance abuse treatment information sharing.
This kind of training experience aligns with the educational objectives of CSPP and Alliant. The program allows her to interact with both students and professionals from a range of disciplines. In fact, she was the only psychology student selected this year. Importantly, the work being done at OSP strives to apply knowledge and research in health care to real-world problems in today's healthcare system, particularly where minority communities are involved. This type of practical experience, combined with the quality clinical training provided in her doctoral program at CSPP will position her well to make a significant difference in the health care system when she finishes her degree and continues on to practice as a psychologist. Many HSHPS alumni, after finishing graduate school, continue on to jobs in government agencies, academic institutions and non-profit organizations, or continue on to pursue additional training in public health.

An 18 year old invented a bra that can detect breast cancer
Published on May 7, 2017
An 18-year old student from Mexico may have come up with the best way to detect breast cancer as early as possible. How does Eva, the bra invented by Julián Ríos Cantú work? Kim Horcher breaks it down.
"An 18-year-old male may be the first to develop a bra that can detect breast cancer.
Julián Ríos Cantú from Mexico, along with three of his friends, took home the top prize at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards this week, winning $20,000 to develop the Eva bra from its current prototype stage.

Increases in California emergency department (ED) use were driven in large part by Medicaid patients, presaging increased burdens after the Affordable Care Act kicks in completely, researchers found.
From 2005 to 2010, the number of visits to California emergency departments rose by 13.2% from 5.4 million to 6.1 million annually, with a significant 35% increase in the number of patients insured through Medi-Cal (as Medicaid is known in California) driving this rise (P<0.001), according to Renee Hsia, MD, MSc, of the University of California San Francisco, and colleagues.
Medicaid patients also had the highest usage burden for ambulatory-care-sensitive conditions (54.76 per 1,000 patients on average) compared with those who had private insurance (10.93 per 1,000 patients) or none at all (16.6 per 1,000 patients), they wrote online in a research letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
According to previous research, many patients who will soon be insured under the ACA will be enrolled in Medicaid. While these people are generally healthier than current Medicaid enrollees, they may introduce a new and vast additional burden to treat undiagnosed and uncontrolled conditions.
The authors retrospectively reviewed changes in California ED visit frequency among patients ages 19 to 64 from 2005 to 2010 through state discharge data, excluding patients who received Medicare benefits and those whose admissions were scheduled.
Patients were grouped by age, sex, and type of insurance coverage they had, which included private insurance, Medicaid, no insurance, or other. ED visits by those without insurance rose 25.4% during the period, visits by patients with private insurance went up just 1.2%.
The largest increase in visits occurred in 2009, most likely because of the "H1N1 pandemic and the influence of the economic downturn on coverage transitions and access to care," the authors explained. Total visits per 1,000 adults living in California increased by 8.3% from 252 to 274 between 2005 and 2010.
These costs may represent a bigger picture of burdens on acute care across the U.S. under expansions to Medicaid under the ACA, according to David Howard, PhD, at the Department of Health Policy and Management at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta.
"Medicaid beneficiaries may lack access to primary care services and, to the extent that access to primary care deteriorated over the decade, Medicaid beneficiaries may have decided to use more emergency room services to replace the primary care shortfall," Howard told MedPage Today.
Howard noted, however, that this study only looked at trends in acute care, but did not see if these trends followed in personal care and other non-ED healthcare settings.
"Looking at rates of use across all types of services, not just emergency room care, would tell us: Are these patterns we're seeing due to something that's really specific to emergency rooms or are there trends across the board that are driving up use?," he said.
James McCarthy, MD, of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, noted that additional healthcare burdens imposed by the ACA "will result in increased ED utilization in many markets because of inadequate primary care infrastructures to support the population."
The expansion "will certainly increase [ED visits] as Medicaid beneficiaries will have the most difficulty getting into primary care clinics," he told MedPage Today, adding that some markets make acute care "a much more efficient way to address [Medicaid patient's] health concerns than the primary care clinics," possibly due to barriers in being seen by personal care physicians or due to clinic availability.
Potential solutions may include initiatives similar to Washington state's "ER is for Emergencies" initiative, said Michael Lee, MD, MS, of the Alpert Medical School at Brown University in Providence, R.I.
He explained that the program improved communication and coordination of care "between the ED and primary physicians, educating patients about appropriate settings to seek their care, and having case managers identify and track frequent utilizers of ED."
Early data from the program showed a 10% reduction in ED spending, he said in an email to MedPage Today.
The authors noted the study was limited by use of administrative data and lack of generalizability.
The study was supported by the California HealthCare Foundation, the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, the NIH, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Physician Faculty Scholars Program.
The authors declared they had no conflicts of interest.

ABOVE: Dr. Laura Schlessinger speaks in L.A. earlier this year.
Proving she's still crazy after all these years, Dr. Laura Schlessinger drops the n-bomb 11 times during a conversation on her radio show with a black female caller whom Schlessinger suggests might be hypersensitive to issues of race.
Schlessinger has since issued an apology.
Transcript (from HuffPo):
Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO and listen to a black comic, and all you hear is n****, n*****, n*****. I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing. But when black people say it, it's affectionate. It's very confusing.
It really isn't that confusing. You aren't allowed to say it. Period.
The apology:
"Yesterday, I did the wrong thing," she said. "I didn't intend to hurt people, but I did. And that makes it the wrong thing to have done. I was attempting to make a philosophical point, and I articulated the "n" word all the way out — more than one time. And that was wrong. I'll say it again — that was wrong."
While still a popular radio host, Schlessinger is no stranger to controversy; her 2000 CBS television show was short lived, in no small part due to her views on homosexuals.
Before that, there was the nude photo fiasco. Feminists aren't huge fans either.
And then there's the whole thing about her not actually being an actual doctor — though she holds doctorate in physiology from Columbia.
But I don't want to nitpick, just listen here:

Obama Appreciates NHMS Invite, but Declines
President Barack Obama's Campaign notified New Hampshire Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager Jerry Gappens late this afternoon that while it appreciate Gappens' "generous offer" to attend next month's LENOX Industrial Tools 301, they must respectfully decline.
The Obama Campaign's Official Statement is provided below Gappens' response:
"Obviously we're disappointed Mr. Obama won't be able to join us for the largest sporting event in New England, but certainly understand his hectic schedule," said Gappens. "We were giving him a sincere opportunity to get in the 'Fast Lane' of his Presidential Campaign here in the political savvy state of New Hampshire. Maybe he'll return the gesture and allow me to check out Air Force One!"
Gappens decided to raffle off President Obama's unused tickets with proceeds going to the Speedway Children's Charities. Details on how fans can obtain the tickets will be released on Monday.
Obama Campaign's Official Statement from New Hampshire State Director Pete Kavanaugh:
"Thank you Jerry for your generous offer. New Hampshire Motor Speedway has a proud history, and while the President will not be able to attend, we certainly appreciate the offer.
"The President is a supporter of NASCAR and an advocate for the American auto industry. Under his leadership he made the bold decision to rescue the auto industry, resulting in a resurgence of American manufacturing jobs that are restoring economic security. The auto rescue saved a million jobs up and down the supply chain. In New Hampshire alone 23,000 jobs depend on the vibrancy of the auto industry, and today, the America auto industry has never looked more vibrant. GM is once again the world's top carmaker. The auto industry added more than 230,000 jobs since June 2009, and 2011 was the strongest year of industry job growth since 1994.
"This is a stark contrast with our opponent in this race who advocated that we 'let Detroit go bankrupt' when the auto industry was on the brink of collapse.
"Our campaign is focused on getting the middle class to victory lane. As you get ready to drop the green flag for another great race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, we thank you again for your offer, and I can assure you that supporters of the President will be there in force."

"The city would pay $10 million over two years for the property. The district would retain $8.5 million ownership of the property," said Jennifer Tandy, former Mission Bay School cluster chairwoman. "The city would work with the district to develop the land for the public good, but also have a revenue-generating component, like monthly paid parking for residents and visitor parking incorporated into the design."
The school district board makes its final decision on the La Jolla-based private developer McKellar-Ashbrook's bid at its meeting on May 14. Tandy urged concerned parties to email letters to Mayor Filner, members of the school board and District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer to voice their opinion about the proposal.

This week I discovered a wonderfully romantic collection of lingerie with a fabulous philosophy to accompany the designs. Naked Princess is more than just lingerie; it is about a world of sensuality and boudoir luxury aimed at enlivening the senses and enchanting the imagination.
With the boudoir as a state of mind, founders Jordana Woodland and Rebecca Frank have created a clean and comfortable collection of beauty, body and lip treatments and luxury lingerie aimed at inspiring women to "live beautifully, love deeply and reign joyfully". For this reason, Naked Princess is one of the best examples of the reasons I began my Friday lingerie features in the first place – to inspire women of all shapes and sizes to get in touch with themselves and their (inner and outer) beauty.
Made in the USA, the lingerie from Naked Princess is created using lace, silks and cashmeres from France and Italy. They also utilise natural fibres for their designs, such as MicroModal which has a fabulous feel on the skin. The MicroModal and lace bodysuit from the spring collection 2012 is my favourite piece (image top); an exceptionally figure flattering body with plunge neckline in cream, blush and charcoal colourings.
The lingerie is sized from xs to xl – designed without underwires yet if more support is your thing, check out this glowing review by The Full Figured Chest about how this lady found the bodysuit worked for her.
The first collection from Naked Princess is named Lovely Ever After, inspired by a love letter. The lip and body proportion of this collection is quite beautifully packaged and would make a lovely gift as well as a treat for oneself. Based around a custom made Vanille Blanc scent (Moroccan vanilla, sweet almond & exotic tonquin bean infused with vitamin E plus organic shea, jojoba & soy butters), a boudoir candle can also be used for massage. The candle sits alongside a body/room spray and several lip glosses, treatments and polishes formulated without parabens, phthalates or GMOS, continuing the natural philosophy of the line.
Below, the Lovely Ever After silk mesh & lace soft bra and thong.
Below: the series of Naked Shine Lip Glosses:
There is a lot to like at Naked Princess. Since their philosophy is one that is close to my own heart, I do hope you take a look at their collection.

Moved the SD card to the new phone - the apps were NOWHERE to be found. I have to re-download all of them from scratch. What's the deal? Other than saving a little bit of my 8GB of phone memory, what good did this do? Why didn't my apps show up on the new phone?


text: During the period 1829-33 French sugar plantation owner Joseph Soniat Duffossat and his eldest son Robert built three French Quarter townhouses. The custom of the day, for those with means and social standing, was to have a residence in town. Such homes were built both for their convenience, and most importantly, to entertain and receive guests. Thanks to the efforts of Rodney and Frances Smith these homes are still serving their intended purpose. After acquiring the properties in 1982 a major undertaking began, its purpose was to combine the modern and the historic. The goal was to provide modern conveniences while preserving the architectural integrity of the original design. The 31 guest rooms were furnished and decorated with French and English antiques and custom European fabrics. The accolades have been many over the years, because the result is a singular hotel property. Upon entering Soniat House a sense of timelessness and cloistered serenity washes over you. Guests often sit for hours in the two courtyards literally soaking up the atmosphere. The historic ambiance is palpable and unmistakably genuine. Moving from the front desk and into your room, one comes to realize that all the modern amenities you might not expect are indeed present, and in no way detract. This is the counterintuitive reality that makes Soniat House much beloved and appreciated as a one of a kind experience. It does not get any more authentic nor does it get any more comfortable.

Bigger-than-life Manu Ginobili has Argentina following his every move
Web Posted: 08/06/2005 10:30 PM CDT
Johnny Ludden
Express-News Staff Writer
BAHIA BLANCA, Argentina — Manu Ginobili climbs the steps to the second deck of the tour bus and drops into the seat next to his wife, Marianela. Tired, but still wearing a smile, he kisses her on the cheek, then gently leans his head on her shoulder.
It is a brisk July afternoon, one of those south-of-the-equator winter days, and Ginobili has come home to this port city roughly 400 miles southwest of Buenos Aires. The Spurs' guard has spent the previous hour at Hospital Municipal de Agudos Dr. Leónidas Lucero, distributing gifts to children, posing for photos with staff and visiting one terminally ill patient who asked to be transferred here to meet him. After a quick lunch, Ginobili will conduct a basketball clinic for 300 orphans at his old gym, then head to a local mall for a pep rally in his honor.
The previous four days proved dizzying enough.
After making the 16-hour trip from San Antonio to Buenos Aires, he gave three welcome-home news conferences; attended a cocktail party for the start of the NBA's Basketball Without Borders Americas camp; met with Argentina's president and other dignitaries; coached his team of campers; unintentionally inspired a near-riot during a visit to an under-funded hospital; dined at a reunion for Argentina's gold-medal winning Olympic team; dedicated a new reading center at an elementary school; and joined Spurs coach Gregg Popovich at a tango show.
Now, more than 300 of the town's 300,000 citizens have filled the narrow road outside the hospital to see Ginobili off to his next stop. They are singing the same song that has trailed him everywhere, Olé, olé, olé ... Manu, Manu!
As the bus begins to roll, Ginobili presses close to the window and waves to the crowd. One middle-aged man holds up a homemade sign. Written in blue marker on a piece of cardboard, it states the obvious: MANU ES MUY GRANDE.
Yes, Ginobili is big. Bigger than anyone in this fútbol-mad country ever thought a basquet player could become. The same too-skinny teenager who grew up dribbling around chairs in his home has grown into a national hero.
The day after Ginobili met Argentina President Nestor Kirchner, a picture of the two ran in the Buenos Aires Herald underneath the caption, "Who's that next to Ginobili?" Susana Gimenez, the nation's top talk-show host, wanted to book him immediately after the NBA Finals.
ESPN Deportes La Revista, the new Spanish-language version of ESPN The Magazine, chose Ginobili for its inaugural cover after placing him atop its list of the 101 most-influential Latino athletes. One of Argentina's national magazines proclaimed him, simply, "El Nuevo Fenómeno ." The New Phenomenon.
Even Diego Maradona, whose wizardry on the soccer field earned him Argentina's worship, asked Ginobili to autograph a jersey for his daughter.
"He has become one of the greatest athletes in Argentine sports," said Horacio Moratore, head of Argentina's basketball federation. "To this moment, there are only five: Maradona in soccer, Guillermo Vilas in tennis, (Juan Manuel) Fangio in Formula One (racing), Roberto De Vicenzo in golf. Now one more — Ginobili."
Quite a run
The rise of El Nuevo Fenómeno began in 2001, two years after the Spurs used the 57th pick of the NBA Draft on Ginobili, a reedy Argentine guard whose hard, if not also reckless, play in Italy had caught the team's attention.
Unsure whether they would ever see any return from their low-risk investment, the Spurs left Ginobili overseas to develop. After improving under the guidance of Ettore Messina, one of Europe's top coaches, he led Kinder Bologna to the 2001 Euroleague title.
At the world championships the next year, Ginobili helped Argentina become the first country to beat a U.S. team made up of NBA stars. If not for a disputed call at the end of the championship game against Yugoslavia, Argentina likely would have won the gold medal.
As an NBA rookie, Ginobili served as the Spurs' designated energizer off the bench, sparking the team to the 2003 championship. At last summer's Olympics in Athens, he led Argentina to the gold medal, beating Team USA in the semifinals. He won his second NBA title in June, four months after being named an All-Star for the first time, and finished one vote shy from sharing the Finals MVP award with Tim Duncan.
Few players have ever enjoyed a more productive five-year run than Ginobili, and in Argentina, like much of the rest of the planet, everyone loves a winner.
"Manu has brought Argentina to the world and the world to Argentina's doorstep," said Guillermo Vecchio, a former head coach of Argentina's national team. "Who has done more in basketball?"
While soccer remains the sport of choice for most of Argentina, Ginobili's appeal to the masses has less to do with what game he plays than how he plays it. He is fearless and, above all else, passionate, a trait long used to describe his countrymen as a whole.
If there is a lasting image of the Spurs' most recent championship, it just might be that of Ginobili screaming and flailing his arms in excitement as teammate Sean Marks unsuccessfully tries to hold him back moments after Game 7 concluded. Ginobili's long, stringy hair is flying in every direction, joy covering his face.
"I don't play like this because I want to look pretty," Ginobili said last season. "I think people can really see I love the game."
From his one-handed skip passes to the over-the-shoulder, off-the-glass, no-look bank shots he makes look routine, Ginobili has applied the same creative flourish to basketball that Argentines have always brought to their national pastime. (A few critics also argue his alleged flopping was gleaned from soccer playgrounds.)
Ginobili spent most of his time in the gym at the basketball club his father presided over, but, like most of his peers, he grew up watching Maradona, whose celebrity remains the standard by which Argentine athletes are measured. Ginobili remembers jumping off the couch with his brothers, Leandro and Sebastian, when Maradona almost single-handedly won the 1986 World Cup for Argentina. He also frequently watched highlight tapes of Maradona playing for his Italian team in Naples.
"I admire him probably the same way I did with (Michael) Jordan," Ginobili said. "But the difference was he was representing me with the Argentine jersey. That changes everything."
Global appeal
Ginobili's own jersey now hangs next to that of Maradona in storefronts of Buenos Aires' shopping districts. He has done TV commercials for Gatorade that run regularly in Argentina. Less than two weeks after the Finals, he signed an endorsement contract with Argentine cell phone company Movistar.
Ginobili's agent, Herb Rudoy, said he has had conversations with a handful of other companies interested in using him as a spokesman. Though only recently appearing on the U.S. radar, Ginobili had already established himself as a star in Italy in addition to South America.
"We've been pushing that Manu is certainly the only athlete that crosses Anglo, Hispanic and European lines," Rudoy said. "He covers everything — he can do his commercials in three languages. Our pitch is the fact that he appeals to all."
Including more than a few of his peers.
During last season's All-Star weekend, Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant called Ginobili his favorite player to watch. Denver coach George Karl recently admitted he, too, is a fan, saying his public criticism of Ginobili during the opening round of the NBA playoffs was only an unsuccessful attempt at rattling him.
Ginobili's nice-guy image and humbleness have enhanced his appeal, perhaps more so in a country that endured Maradona's numerous missteps. Because San Antonio ranks among the NBA's smallest TV markets, marketing analysts think it's a reach to expect him to become a household name in Iowa or Nebraska. But they also say U.S. companies have more reason to value Latino endorsers after a June Census Bureau report estimated Hispanics now account for one-seventh of the U.S. population, making them the country's fastest-growing minority group.
"The average sports fan wouldn't put him in their day-in, day-out top 10, so he might not become the megastar in the United States the way he is in his own country," said Marc Ippolito, senior vice president of Burns Entertainment and Sports Marketing, an Illinois-based firm which pairs companies with celebrity endorsers.
"But he still has the potential to do very well. It makes perfect sense for any league sponsor to want to tap into his stardom."
Much of San Antonio knows Ginobili is "still a Time Warner customer" because the cable provider has prominently featured him on local billboards and in TV commercials the past two years. Nike officials also met with Ginobili in Argentina shortly after the Finals to discuss how his role with the company could expand.
"We want to identify areas where we can grow in Latin America behind him," said Dale Allen, a Nike player relations manager who works with Ginobili. "Basketball is slowly getting accepted there because of Manu's stardom. He's not just an international player anymore. He speaks basketball. He speaks very well for the company, he speaks very well for the NBA, and he speaks very well for the game."
No one needs to tell NBA commissioner David Stern how much Ginobili has helped the league's popularity increase in South America.
More than 20 years ago, Stern sold the league's Argentine TV rights to a soccer analyst for $2,000. This year, Game 7 of the NBA Finals drew a 15.1 household rating in Buenos Aires. When the ratings peaked at 24.7 in the final quarter, almost 800,000 of the city's 3,172,100 TV households were tuned into the broadcast.
"We cannot emphasize enough the importance of having a local player like Manu in the league," said Arturo Nuñez, vice president and managing director of NBA Latin America.
Since the start of the playoffs, the NBA Store has experienced a 41 percent jump from last year in online orders shipped outside the United States — an increase league officials partially attribute to Ginobili's rising popularity.
Of course, those sales also figure to soon slow, given the increasing difficulty in finding a No.20 Spurs uniform in North America. An employee at the Spurs' fan shop in the SBC Center said the store is sold out of Ginobili's authentic Reebok jerseys and likely won't have any in stock until the start of next season. The NBA Store doesn't have a single Ginobili jersey, in any style, available on its Web site.
"I think the major indicator of (Ginobili's impact) is how many kids are out there playing basketball," Nuñez said. "We know if we see a kid with a basketball in his hands, he's going to be a future viewer, he's going to be a purchaser of the gear, he's going to be a participant in the sport. That's the best way we feel to measure our growth."
The fifth Beatle
Ginobili's success has made fans of the young and old. Results of a recent newspaper poll showed 93 percent of Argentines could recognize him.
"My mother watched the NBA Finals, and she doesn't know basketball," said Hernán Sartori, a reporter for Clarin, Argentina's largest daily newspaper. "But she knows Manu."
So, it seems, does everyone else. One NBA official compared Ginobili's five-day goodwill tour here to the Beatles returning to England. Houston center Dikembe Mutombo likened it to visiting China with Yao Ming. A security official assigned to protect Ginobili said he has seen only the pope draw a more fervent following.
TV stations broadcast his public appearances live. His initial visit to the Buenos Aires hospital was almost cut short after the crowd overwhelmed more than 100 police officers, many of whom were trying to get Ginobili's autograph for themselves.
At future stops, steel barricades were used to keep the throngs at bay. In Bahia Blanca, nearly 100 people braved 30-degree temperatures for three hours late one night to see him leave a restaurant. Having heard the crowd chanting for him outside, Ginobili autographed a stack of pictures for his father to distribute.
"Right now, you can't go out with Manu," said Detroit guard Carlos Delfino, who played with Ginobili on Argentina's national team. "If you go out, 100 people follow you. So we tell him to go over there, and then we go a different way."
Ginobili said he's still learning to adjust to the attention.
"The thing that really helps me is my normal life is very relaxed, calm," he said. "I stay at home with my wife, visit my parents. But when I do want to go out, it is different. I have a wedding of my friends, and they are worried about what can happen. Things you never expect to happen, now you have to start thinking about."
Shortly after Ginobili signed his new contract with the Spurs last summer, Argentine authorities foiled a plot to kidnap one of his family members. Though ransom kidnappings have become an increasing problem for celebrities in Latin America — Argentina has only recently begun to recover from the 2001 collapse of its economy — Ginobili said he now feels significantly better about the safety of his parents, who continue to live here.
That willingness to cling to his roots, to embrace his role as an ambassador for Argentina has further endeared El Nuevo Fenómeno to his countrymen.
"We are a special country, and the people need something nice," said Vecchio, the former national team coach. "The economy is down. A lot of things are bad. But now everybody is 'Manu! Manu!' It's unbelievable.
"It's great for basketball. It's great for the country."
I love his game and his style. And he seems prepared to carry his name, country and reputation at the highest level possible. The guy is a stud. I can't wait for the season to start.
I can't wait to go to Buenos Aires and wear my Ginobili jersey. But the I wouldn't really look like a tourist, would I?
What we do very well is, we don't mess it up except in even numbered years.
"We would have two less championships here if it wasn't for Manu Ginobili," Popovich said. "In my book, Manu Ginobili is the stud of the world.
