It doesn't matter if you're majorly into minimalism, go for cutting-edge silhouettes, or prefer preppy classics with a twist, one thing is certain: your take on fashion is unique. And, as someone with singular style, that means you definitely need to know about Moxsie, one of the best e-commerce shops around. No doubt many of you are already familiar with this wonderful retail resource, but on the off chance you don't visit the site regularly, an introduction is in order!
The story of Moxsie is intriguing in a number of ways. On the surface, Moxsie sells cool clothing and accessories--for both ladies and gents--created by independent designers around the world. Aside from discovering and supporting international emerging talent, the team at Moxsie also champions loads of amazing causes by donating a portion of the proceeds from every single purchase to a different charity. Shoppers get to chose which charity their purchase will support, meaning you're not only buying an extraordinary dress or an inimitable pair of earrings, you're also contributing to important non-profits like The Hunger Project, Dress for Success, and other worthy initiatives. Oh, and did we mention that Moxsie stocks tons of lovely must-buys at really reasonable prices? Yup, they've got that too! !
To give you an inside peek at the wonderful things you can find at Moxsie, we've asked their Director of Merchandising, Shilpa Naik, to share a couple of cool looks from the online boutique. Read on for all the details about these pieces and be sure to shop the site soon. (Who What Wear readers get 15% off the entire site when they register with Moxsie, just click any link in the story for more details!) !
Look 1: Downtown Cool
1. Urbeanears Plattan Headphones ($60) in Army
Looking for headphones that combine form and function? You're in luck because Moxsie has a sweet style that you simply must pick up. Moxsie's Shilpa Naik loves them and she's not the only one. "These headphones were featured in Vogue's September issue," Naik says. "They're not only convenient (you can collapse them) and practical (you can use them with your cell phone), but they also come in a variety of fun colors and even as earbuds." Naik thinks they're a great stocking stuffer and we think she's right!
2. Dolce Vita Tammy Shrug ($200)
All our favorite stylesetters are wearing cozy knits right now, so make sure you pick up something like this black-and-white option from Dolce Vita. "This shrug is the perfect cold-weather piece," Naik says. "It's eye-catching, on-trend, and has an excellent graphic/tribal print." Mix it with your favorite t-shirt (like the David Bowie one by Dimepiece seen here) for an easy-to-wear mixed-print look.
3. Dimepiece Mr. Bowie Asymmetrical Tee ($40)
One essential everyone needs in her wardrobe is a perfectly soft, completely cool t-shirt, like this one from Dimepiece. "Bowie's appeal is forever," Naik says, and we agree! She thinks this shirt is a fun statement piece, so feel free to wear it with your favorite skinny jeans or a cool skirt à la our featured look.
4. Matt & Nat Drake Handbag ($215) in Black
While handbag lines are a dime a dozen, eco-friendly brand Matt & Nat is worthy of your attention. Naik says the Moxsie buying team loves this line, thanks to its versatile and edgy designs. This specific bag has some noteworthy details, like a wood toggle button and antique brass hardware, making it a must-buy!
5. 80%20 Heide Boots ($169) in Grey
Looking for a fabulous pair of winter boots? Take a tip from Naik and check out these darling lace-up booties from 80%20. "This is Moxsie's signature cult brand," Naik says. "Our customers stock up on their comfy wedge boots with padded footbeds." Cozy and cute, no wonder everyone adores them so!
6. Gentle Fawn Orion Skirt ($50) in Cloudburst/Black
While it's hard to resist a little black skirt, this black-accented iteration from Gentle Fawn sure makes a compelling case for going gray instead. "It could be a casual basic, but the black crossover detail makes it stand out for day or night," Naik says. Whatever time you wear it, the skirt's sleek shape is sure to turn heads in all the right ways.
Look 2: Ladylike Flair
1. Storm Heron Watch ($230)
If you've been debating about what kind of timepiece to wear, don't worry--the solution is here in the form of Storm's Heron Watch. According to Naik, it's a "classic London watch," and with its clean lines and mix of brushed metals, we certainly can see why Anglophiles and stylephiles give it two thumbs up.
2. Dolce Vita Melita Dress ($200) in Army
A versatile party dress is nearly impossible to find, but this little number from Dolce Vita definitely does the trick. "It has a slightly '60s look and a bit of a Mad Men spirit," Naik says. Make it even more modern by pairing it bow-bedecked flats and an across-body bag for a touch of hipster style.
3. Super People Ice Sunglasses ($154)
As the days get shorter, you might assume that sunglasses are no longer a necessity, but you'd be wrong. Naik thinks these cool shades from Super are a year-round essential, so be sure to pick up a pair today.
4. Marais USA Mary Jane Bow Flats ($96) in Beige
Naik has nothing but compliments for all of the shoe styles from Marais USA, including these cute flats. "They're a perfect combo of European style and New York practicality," she says. As if that wasn't enough, Naik also calls them "affordably luxurious and subtly feminine"--in other words, a sure thing!
5. Matt & Nat Callahan Shoulder Bag ($125) in Cherry
Last, but certainly not least, we have a bright-hued across-body bag from Matt & Nat. In addition to its overall adorableness, Naik appreciates the smaller aspects of this small purse, like its knotted strap and interesting closure. "This bag is the perfect size and so demure" she says. It's sure to sell out fast, so make sure you buy one now before it's gone!

|Bill to make it easier to sue over defective products
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 30 May 2007 05:30
Legislation pending in the Senate would make it easier to sue over defective products in North Carolina.
North Carolina has the strictest laws in the nation to govern such lawsuits. Under existing law there is a six-year limit, from the time of purchase of an allegedly defective product, on filing the lawsuit seeking recovery. The bill would push North Carolina's limit to 15 years.

Brooke Burke is on the mend after a thyroidectomy.
The "Dancing with the Stars" host went under the knife yesterday after getting diagnosed with thyroid cancer ... and from the sound of it, everything went well.
"Thank God it's over. I'm clean, surgery went well & I can talk. Losing My voice was my biggest fear," she posted during a series of tweets this morning.
"I'm resting, recovering. Surgery went well. Dr Adashek is a genius. Thx Dr! Feels like I got hit by a car :( [sic]" she added.
The 41-year-old mom revealed doctors found a cancerous nodule on her thyroid back in November, telling her fans know what was going on in a heartfelt video.
At the time she said she'd have "a nice big scar" across her neck after the operation.
"F#@k Cancer! I'm recovering, I'm strong, I'm grateful for my brilliant Doctors," also also tweeted moments ago.
Glad to hear the surgery went well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

BUFFALO, NY - 10-year old Zoey Haynes is amazing.
The fifth grader, who suffers from Crohn's Disease, wanted to give back to her community.
She decided to host an annual yard sale and donate the money she earned.
She's done several fundraisers for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, raising a whopping $4,500.
This year she helped throw a party for some kids from Stone's buddies, a program for chronically ill children, like Zoey, at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo.
The kids had a blast.
Zoey bought the arts and crafts, food and games.
More than 50 kids and their siblings attended the event with the Buffalo Bandits.

Infinite growth on a planet with finite resources is impossible, and is therefore not "sustainable." I realize that such a statement is fraught with historical baggage and even political implications. It is not, however, an expression of opinion. It's math. It's physics. It's geography. It's chemistry. It seems to me that the question of what to do with all the waste industrial civilization produces needs to take that into account. More landfills with higher berms ignores the question altogether.
If as you state, "More landfills with higher berms ignores the question altogether", which waste solution does not ignore the question?
My point is that a "solution" to the problem of waste involves more than simply finding a spot on a map where the fewest number of people object to having a mountain of trash blot out the horizon. The premise of the debate over waste management is, as Mr. Hutchinson claims, that we can have "prosperity driven by ... sustainable growth." I do not agree with that statement. A "prosperity" that is in harmony with the planet's ecological health, which is the only kind of prosperity we should be strive for, cannot be "driven" by endlessly topping the previous year's GDP.

The drunken-driving death of Sean D. Howard on the early morning of July 1, 2006, has weighed heavily on the mind of his sister, Kayla C. Sherman.
The two had been drinking at a friends high school graduation party, and at the end of the night they went their separate ways, he driving his truck and she riding in a friends car. She remembers riding off, waving to her brother through the window.
I couldve stopped him, she said Saturday morning during the STOP DWI Victims Impact Panel, hosted by the Watertown Urban Mission Bridge Program.
After she arrived safely at her friends house that night, she received a call telling her that her brothers vehicle had gone off the road. Mr. Howard lost control of his truck while driving on Route 11 in the town of Ellisburg, and he died of the injuries he suffered when ejected from the vehicle, including chest trauma and a severed liver.
I wanted to scream, but I couldnt say a word because I knew what was happening, she said, recalling how she learned the news with her family at Samaritan Medical Center.
Speaking for the first time at the impact panel, held periodically, Ms. Sherman said she felt a lot of guilt for letting her brother, 23 at the time of his death, drive from the party. She said she had reflected more on his death since she recently turned 24.
I wonder why I got to make it and he didnt, she said.
Ms. Sherman was one of several family members of people killed during driving while intoxicated-related crashes who spoke at the panel discussion, which is used to educate violators and the public about the risks of drunken driving.
Linda R. Ekpe told attendees about the August 2004 death of her 17-year-old son Daniel O.J. Ekpe, when the car he was driving home from Clayton to Cape Vincent was hit by a drunken driver. He was about to start his senior year at Thousand Islands High School,
Each and every day we try moving on, but its difficult, she said.
She urged people to seek alternatives to driving after drinking, such as calling a friend or a taxi.
Saturdays panel, which drew 128 people to the mission, 247 Factory St., also included Jefferson County Judge Kim H. Martusewicz and county District Attorney Cindy F. Intschert.
The panels have been held for 15 years, said Bridge Program Director Salvatore J. Ciulo, and many of the family members who spoke at the event Saturday had done so for several years.
Its not easy for them to do, and Im so proud of everything theyve been able to accomplish, he said.
Mr. Ciulo estimated about 30 percent of Saturdays attendees had no legal requirement to do so, a higher count than usual. Some clients of the Bridge Program, an alternative to incarceration in which participants receive intensive supervision, and other individuals are mandated to attend.
In a first for the event, a crew from WPBS-TV recorded its speakers.
Plans are for the video to be distributed to schools and nonprofit organizations around the region.

Barcelona | Parc Güell
Presenting Parc Güell, a UNESCO World Heritage sight and prominent landmark in the city of Barcelona. Designed by Gaudi and built from 1900 - 1914, the park is an inspired, skillful blend of art in natural surroundings. A lush landscape from palm trees to evergreens is fused with intricate mosaic facades and statues, sloping columns, bustling terraces, quiet pathways and one heck of a long serpentine park bench. Enjoy!
Located on Carrer d'Olot atop a fairly steep hill in the city's northern Barri Gracia, visitors can access Parc Güell from the Metro stop Vallcarca on Line 3 or via the Bus Touristic which stops right at the bottom of the hill. Admission to the park is free!

Brochure on Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems aims to bring the public closer to this new emerging sector Közzététel időpontja:: 15/05/2013, Utolsó frissítés: 17/05/2013
The brochure Flying New Way – A Boost for European Creativity and Innovation published recently by DG Enterprise and Industry is a short presentation of the great potential of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) – commonly known as drones – for civil and commercial applications.
If their full potential in unleashed, they will bring important benefits to European citizens and the European Economy as a whole. For that reason the European Commission is acting to support the sector. Provided that regulations and in place, technologies are available and societal impacts, including privacy protection, are properly addressed, this emerging market of innovative aerial services is able to boost industrial competitiveness and support the development of SMEs.

Quick Question
If not this one, is there another laptop case or sleeve pattern around that people have had any luck with? Not a full laptop bag, but just a sleeve.
Suggestions welcome!!
20 comments:
HI, saw this the other day it might help you out. http://madebypetchy.blogspot.com/2008/07/tutorial-pouch-for-ipod-nano.html I'm sure I have seen a tutorial for a laptop bag that looked pretty cool lurking some where on the net but can't remember where...ReplyDelete
ok, I'm no help...sorry!ReplyDelete
I haven't made this one, but I love Amy Butler patterns -- so well written and easy to follow! I've made her gum drop pillows and a whole lot of the frenchy bag.ReplyDelete
never tried this but I thought I'd chime in to say that I prefer more of a sleeping bag style with a slip in enclosure than a four flap opening like the bag in the photo. The flaps seem like they would take up so much space and just get in the way.ReplyDelete
im here to second a few other people. I havent made that particular pattern, but i have made a few of amy butler's other bags and her patterns are easy to follow and well written. I invest the $12.ReplyDelete
I don't want to go somewhere you weren't thinking but my best friend is making this for her kid's teachers. It doesn't involve any sewing and might be just the ticket!ReplyDelete
Um, but to answer your question, I haven't made that particular pattern before. I just really liked the felt pattern!ReplyDelete
Here are some free tutorials.ReplyDelete
Laptop sleeve:
iPod cozy:
I did not use this exact pattern, but I did make a case like this one and I am not very happy with the result. For my computer, I got an Apple Sac, something that could also easily be made. Here's the link - http://applesac.com/morningglory.htmlReplyDelete
They even use cute Amy Butler fabric for theirs. It holds the computer nice and tight and keeps it from getting damaged while in my bag or just carrying it around. My sister also has one and loves it!
This one worksReplyDelete
Haven't got the laptop pattern, but I have used her Big Sky Hat pattern and it is great.ReplyDelete
As for a laptop sleeve, I just measured my laptop, added 2 inches all around and cut out 4 rectangles -- two of an outside fabric and two of a lining fabric. Then I would make four little rectangles about 2.4 inches by 6 inches, and get some velcro or a couple of buttons.
Stitch the little rectangles like pillowcases into two little straps. Add button holes or velcro.
Then stitch the outside of the cover like a pillowcase or simple bag, around 3 sides. Stitch the lining the same way, but leave a hole for turning. Pin the straps to the top of the outside on the right side, put the outside of the bag inside the lining and stitch around the top. Flip it all right side out through the hole in the lining and then stitch up the hole.
Then topstitch around the top, add buttons or velcro to the front, and you're good to go.
I like this because I can put my laptop in the sleeve when its hot with the vents on the open side and I don't have to worry about silicon meltdowns. I also have a pocket on the front of mine for a pen and notebook, because I'm just one of those people who needs a pen, even though they've got their laptop . . .
Does that make any sense at all? If not, never mind. Proceed with reading the more intelligent comments.
Probably not what you're looking for but I saw this oneReplyDelete
Forgot to add that I used cordoroy for the outside. If you wanted to use cotton, like AB's, you would probably have to iron some interfacing to the outside fabric.ReplyDelete
I have this pattern and made it for my husband and while the pattern is really clear and helpful, if I'd thought about it befor emaking I probably could have come up with the same thing. The main thing I got from the pattern is how to make it padded and secure. Hope that helps!ReplyDelete
I want to make a laptop case for my laptop. I'll have to check some of the recommended tutorials.ReplyDelete
If not already mentioned there is a tutorial over at Sew Mama Sew that was posted in November - I'm not sure which day - maybe the one with gifts for students. I was hoping to tackle this for my daughters.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Larissa had a good blog to go to. Just lay the laptop onto the fabric to get the right size. You might want to put a better closure on it and handles for carrying. That one looked good to me. I believe in trying to work out a pattern for yourself.ReplyDelete
Wow. This has been educational. I went through each comment and went to each blog...some were duplicates..and saw some great ways to make laptop bags. Thank you, everyone.ReplyDelete

I believe redhat has a different version of gcc. Or its own specialized version or something. ANyways all I know is I coudlnt' compile mplayer with redhat 7.2. Why don't you just use the rpms to install the nvidia drivers?
OK guys & gals, here's a dumb question I hope
The machine is Athlon based running RH 7.2 with an i686 update kernel.
I'm thinking gcc 2.96-98 is partially broken. I had problems with rpmbuild --rebuild building the nVidia kernel source 1.0-2313 for i686 prior to messing with the kernel and had to fall back to the 1.0-1451 version. The 2313 version compiled ok but would would not install. The dl nVidia kernel-1.0-2313.i686up would not install either by the way.
I later compiled a kernel set up for an Athlon, it worked pretty well but... I got warnings about indirect lcalls without a * (pointer) coming out of pci-pc.c neat the end on the make bzImage pass. It griped about unresolved externals in ext3.o on startup.
My question is if I rpm -ivh --ignorearch the kernel-2.4.9-13.athlon .rpm package after making backup copies of /lib/modules/2.4.9-13 and renamed the original and the appropriate /boot stuff is it going to put Athlon modiles in a new module directory for me?
I'm guessing it must because I got a new modules/2.4.9-13 when upgrading from 2.4.9-7.
TIA for any advice...
I believe redhat has a different version of gcc. Or its own specialized version or something. ANyways all I know is I coudlnt' compile mplayer with redhat 7.2. Why don't you just use the rpms to install the nvidia drivers?
I had the 1451 build working fine. I just thought I would take advantage of 'optimized' for the processor.
Or would I have to rebuild everything ???
Redhat ships two gcc versions, 2.9.6, and 2.9.1. gcc 2.9.1 is named kgcc, and that's the one you want to use to compile kernels. I found this redhat page detailing the change needed to the kernel makefile to use gcc 2.9.1(kgcc). Good luck.
Cool ! Thanks for the link. I dunno why I didn't browse the problems @ RedHat. Just too wrapped up in being frustrated at the compiler I guess.
Maybe that's why the 2313 build of the nVidia kernel source wouldn't work for me when I did the rebuild for i686. No warnings, it just wouldn't install.
Thanks again, glenn
That's for 7.0 though, not 7.2 7.2 shipps with 2.9.6 and 3.0. 2.9.6 is perfectly fine, and the only reason that mplayer won't compile is the author is an ass who won't fix his code to comply with the industry standards enforced with 2.9.6.
I've had NO problems what so ever with the Redhat gcc, and I will continue to support/defend it.
I have an Athlon 750 processor and I just finished compiling 2.9.16 and the Nvidia driver with no problem. I am posting right now from that very machine. I also compiled the kernel with the Athlon arch running Redhat 7.2.
no problems here ???
Back from rescue mode, that was fun...
What are my loopback devices, and why are they all in use?
I tried rpm -ivh --ignorearch --force to install the dl version of
kernel-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm and I guess it had gotten the athlon modules installed but tripped up on vmLinuz-2.4.9-13 and stilll had the i686 vmLinuz. Something told me to save copies of things I might need to breath life back into this sucker.
Gotta go pick up my daughter but...
<Arnold voice>I'll be back.</voice>
Linux isn't just an alternative(better) operating system, it's an adventure
<edit>KP and Rex obviously have a better handle on this than I have ???</edit>
I only grab source.rpm's and then configure/compile them my self. All the good redhat patches, all the custom options of me.... (;
beware, alittle source editing is necessary to get make install working, if you don't use lilo, and use grub instead.
Oh i had problems....it is working now though took a weekend to get it running....I would suggest what KP said get the src rpms or go to http://www.kernel.org and the newest kernel and compile that.
see my problems here
and here...
The reason I got 2.4.16 was because Redhat's up2date rpm thingy screwed my 2.4.9-13 kernel. It said it was installed but it kept wanting to download it again.

A Study to Evaluate the Use of Stavudine (d4T) to Treat AIDS Dementia Complex
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to see if adding stavudine (d4T) to anti-HIV drug regimens (with or without zidovudine, ZDV) can improve symptoms of AIDS Dementia Complex (ADC, problems involving the brain or spinal cord) in HIV-positive patients.
AIDS Dementia Complex
HIV Infections
Drug: Stavudine
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Pilot Open Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Role of Stavudine (d4T) in the Treatment of AIDS Dementia Complex
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|October 1997
|Study Completion Date:
|March 1999
|Primary Completion Date:
|March 1999 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
In this open-label, multicenter, multinational study, ZDV is replaced with d4T in ZDV-containing regimens, or d4T is added to non-ZDV-containing regimens in 20 patients experiencing ADC. Patients are defined as having failed treatment if they progress by one ADC stage on the MSK (Memorial Sloan Kettering) rating scale on study (i.e., from Stage 1 to 2 or Stage 2 to 3). Patients are evaluated on a weekly basis until the dementia deterioration is confirmed to be caused by HIV-1. The effect of d4T-containing regimens is assessed for the following parameters: neurological status, survival, AIDS-defining conditions, CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) and plasma viral load, CSF and blood immunological markers, blood CD4 cell counts, and viral resistance. This study also assesses the pharmacokinetics of d4T in the CSF and in the blood.

Submission Undescribed Cloning Lizard Found on Vietnam Menu->
eldavojohn writes: A lizard long served on the menu in the Mekong Delta has recently caught the attention of scientists when it was noted that all animals in the species appeared identical as well as female. The species appears to be a hybrid of two other species (like a mule or liger). But the curious thing is that this hybrid isn't sterile — it reproduces asexually. The species, known for sometime in Vietnam, has now officially been named Leiolepis ngovantrii.

We have been receiving further more and even more information regarding the infamous (for now) HTC Vision or G1 Blaze, and it is on the way of shaping up of being the first device with HSPA+ from T-mobile.
As previously reported by us, the Emerald of project might be an adorned launches of both the the MyTouch 3G HD and Vision, it seems that the name is kept all to itself by HD.
First off, these names like G1 Blaze and Vision looks like to be murdered off, and new device will be renowned with the name of T-Mobile G2 now and Not at all the G2 Touch. The roadmap of T-mobile which was leaked pegs the G1 successor's launch for the month of September, where it has been referred to by them as the Vanguard. What is even much more exciting about it is supposedly is that this G2 should have been running the stock of all the androids, which apparently is meaning much faster updates than existing any other unlocked cellphone over there, at least theoretically.
With the version of Android 2.2, several bodies out there still believe that this is the very first time that no one actually needs any skin of custom on that very device, even if all the aesthetic appeals might not be at the par with those skins just as such HTC will sense. I still thought that the stock of Android would apparently be quite dead right after the sipping Nexus one is stopped, and the Unlocked Motorola Droid ( 2 ) which is actually using the UI like Motoblur. We are entirely glad that we have seen that HTC has not given up completely the stock of Android.
It has been said that the G2 will come certainly with a CPU of 800Mhz MSM7230, which might not be the much fastest in the entire of the Android land.

The Los Angeles Lakers are perhaps the most iconic franchise in NBA history. Starting out in Minneapolis in 1948, the Lakers were immediately the best team in the NBA, riding All-Star center George Mikan to championships in 1949, '50, '52, '53 and '54. Though Los Angeles won just one title in the 1960s and '70s, they were still an elite team—led by superstars like Elgin Baylor, Gail Goodrich, Jerry West and later Wilt Chamberlain. The 1980s were highlighted by the Showtime Lakers, who won five titles with superstars Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and James Worthy. With Kobe Bryant, the Lakers again were at the top of the basketball world starting in the late-1990s. Bryant teamed with Shaquille O'neal to win three championships in the early 2000s before winning another two after O'neal left. Though making the playoffs in the NBA isn't quite what it is in the NFL or MLB, a testament to the Lakers' excellence is that they have missed postseason play just five times in the franchise's 65 years. Los Angeles has retired the numbers of seven players to commemorate their impact on the franchise. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Los Angeles Lakers basketball tickets.
The Los Angeles Lakers finished the 2013-2014 season with more losses than any other season in team history. The Lakers had a closing record of 27-55 and missed the NBA playoffs for only the 3rd season since 1977. Los Angeles can hang much of this failure on the massive amounts of injuries that the team faced including to superstar Kobe Bryant, who missed all but 6 games of the season. This result led the team to bring in former Lakers player Byron Scott as the head coach going into the 2014-15 NBA season.
Gone from last year's LA Lakers team are Pau Gasol, Chris Kaman, Jordan Farmar, and Jodie Meeks. Replacing them in Los Angeles are Carlos Boozer, Jeremy Lin and talented rookie Julius Randle. Kobe Bryant will try to return to his typical world class form after missing much of the last 2 seasons with injuries. The Lakers will look to compete in a packed Western Conference, but have the talent to finish in the top half of the league and should return to the NBA Playoffs.
Check out our LA Lakers Season Preview History page for previews of previous Lakers seasons.
The Lakers play their home games at the Staples Center, located in Los Angeles, California. When filled to capacity, the Staples Center holds nearly 19 thousand screaming Laker fans. The mutual home of both the Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers, the Staples Center is filled with state-of-the-art amenities to provide the best experience for their patrons. Outside the arena are statues of Laker greats Magic Johnson, Kareem-Abdul Jabbar and Jerry West. The LA Lakers home bench is on the Staples Center court side in front of sections 118 & 119. Staples Center parking information is covered in our Lakers event guide.
Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings
Not only is this the best rivalry in the NBA, it could be argued that this is the best in all of professional sports. These two storied franchises have met in the NBA Finals 11+ times and have accounted for over 32 championships. With legends such as Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird, and Bill Russell participating in this matchup, it is no wonder that this rivalry trumps the rest in its sport.
Same city and same arena leads this matchup to be one of the more heated rivalries in the NBA. With city bragging rights on the line every time these two teams meet, the intensity level is always at its highest. The "Hallways Series" has been played over 125 times since the first meeting in 1984.
This rivalry dates back to the 1970s, but picked up steam in the late 1990s and into the 2000s when both teams combined to make seven straight NBA Finals. Overall, these two teams have met in the playoffs 10+ times and will only continue to add to that number in the years to come.
One of the more successful franchises in all of sports, the Lakers have created a legacy that is hard to match. With over 16 championships and 30 conference championships, the Lakers will only continue to add to their impressive history. The Lakers have also added 20+ division titles.
Gates open 90 minutes before game time and the players usually come out not too long after to start their shoot-around. There are few arenas that can match the charisma of the downtown Los Angeles Staples Center so we advise you to get there as early as possible, you may even get a chance to take a picture with a celebrity.
Downtown Los Angeles is one of the best places in the world for food. For Korean barbeque lovers there are dozens of places within a few miles, Genwa and Soowon Galbi are two of the best. For Mexican food Yxta Cocina Mexicana, El Cholo, and Yxta Cocina Mexicana are all close and fantastic. For the full game day experience, head to L.A. Live right across the street from the Staples Center, it will be full of Lakers fans, and has a few good choices for food, The Yard and The Farm are both worth checking out.
TicketCity offers a big selection of Los Angeles Lakers tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Lakers tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee Western Conference opponents, like the Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Portland Trail Blazers can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for non-conference opponents. Those early season games may offer best opportunity to purchase Lakers tickets near face value.
Driving and parking in L.A. is always an adventure, so you need to be prepared. Getting to the game early is a must, and purchasing a parking pass from TicketCity is the easiest way to go. A majority of the parking close to the stadium is reserved for passes, and the few that are not fill up quick. Taking the Dash bus is another hassle free way to get to the arena, but make sure to double check the times that it is running. Pay attention to no parking and tow away signs and be ready to spend at least $15.
The Lakers 2015-2016 schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the NBA. The Lakers play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference, which means games against the Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, and Sacramento Kings. Game times are announced by the NBA as soon as the TV schedule is set. Los Angeles' Christmas Day matchup against the Miami Heat is typically one of the most popular games. If you are looking for Lakers news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official Los Angeles Lakers team roster.
Children 3 and older are required to have tickets to enter the stadium.
Los Angeles season tickets are available to buy until tipoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase Lakers season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Staples Center.

A scan of NBA Live's multiplayer community on PlayStation 3 just before publication showed 377 online and 36 playing a game in progress.
NBA Live 10 released in October 2009, and when EA Sports' NBA Elite reboot failed to launch in 2010, the label still kept the game active and offered roster updates for that season. EA Sports moved its NBA development to Florida following the NBA Elite 11 debacle, and then sat out 2011, a year that opened with the league's owners locking out the players and canceling two months' worth of games.
EA Sports intended to deliver a reconstituted NBA Live 13 as a downloadable title this year but failed to meet that goal. In September, it canceled the game and put NBA Live off until next year, if it even releases then.
No EA Sports NBA product has appeared on retail shelves since 2010's NBA Jam, which released for the Wii in October and was later hustled into service for the Xbox 360 and PS3 to cover for Live/Elite's absence. NBA Jam's 2010 retail release also is affected by the server shutdown, and will lose online support on the same day, Jan 11, 2013.
Other EA Sports games affected include FIFA 11, NHL 11, Madden NFL 11 and NCAA Football 11, all released in 2010.

Paul, you have a good point there. My claim was: 'Since Mr Blair and Mr Cameron know of my initiative, I can safely say their parties know of it'. What I meant was that I can safely say that the leaders, the decision-making level of these parties know of it. I didn't mean to say that every member of these parties knows about it. You are of course right in saying that the party leaders won't share the content of the mail they get with the whole of their party. The same goes for the conversations and the phonecalls they have.
The politicians and party advisers you have contacts with, never told you anything about my initiative. That can mean two things. Either it means they don't have the same information their party leaders have, they are not 'in the loop', so they simply don't know about it, or it means they do know about my initiative, but they have reasons not to tell you (yet).
Kind regards,

Men's Basketball Falls at Wichita State, 67-64
WICHITA, Kan. - Junior Doug McDermott scored a game-high 25 points, including nine of the Jays final 10, but it wasn't enough to power No. 12 Creighton past Wichita State during a 67-64 loss in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 10,506 at Charles Koch Arena on Saturday, Jan. 19.
The loss
gave the Jays their first loss in Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) play as Creighton
fell to 17-2 overall and 6-1 in the MVC.
Wichita State, meanwhile, moved to 17-2 and 6-1 in MVC action.
Interior buckets by Malcolm Armstead and Carl Hall gave the Shockers an early 5-0 cushion in the opening moments. That minimal separation was enough for Wichita State to hold the Jays at bay throughout the opening half. Creighton drew as close as one at 15-14, on a three-pointer from sophomore Austin Chatman and a layup by senior Grant Gibbs, but the Shockers responded by pushing their lead to seven at 23-16 by the 10:07 mark. Down the stretch of the first half the two teams battled back and forth into the final minutes, but a trey from McDermott in the closing seconds sent the Jays into the break with momentum down 36-33.
McDermott buoyed the Jays in the first half with 11 points, but Creighton was just 7-of-13 from the line (53.8%).
Almstead and Hall continued to pace the Shockers throughout the half as the duo combined to score 21 of Wichita State's 36 points; the rest of the team was a combined 6-of-21 from the field (29%).
The momentum of the final first half shot gave the Bluejays a boost in the second as the Jays pulled even for the first time at 38-38 behind a 5-2 run. Chatman knocked down a short jumper in the paint to open the half, then following a Wichita State bucket, McDermott drained his third trifecta of the game to knot the contest for the first time with 19:01 remaining.
The Shockers, however, scored five of the next seven to reclaim the lead and held a 51-45 edge with 14:45 on the clock.
For the ensuing three minutes the Jays' defense took over the game, holding Wichita State without a point as Creighton claimed its first lead of the game with a 7-0 run. McDermott got the Jays rolling with a fade-away shot from the right block to make it 51-47. Junior Ethan Wragge followed with a three-ball from the right wing to bring Creighton within a point at 51-50. Finally Chatman pulled up from just outside the free-throw line to give the Jays their first lead at 52-51 with 11:29 remaining.
The Shockers rallied once again, claiming seven of the next nine including two
on a flagrant foul called against senior Grant Gibbs to retake the
lead, 58-54, with 7:40 left. McDermott
delivered back-to-back buckets to tie the game once more at 58-58 with 6:28,
but Demetric Williams and Hall answered for the Shockers to push it back to a
four-point game at 62-58.
McDermott made a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to one. After Hall missed two free throws, Gibbs was fouled driving the lane. He made 1-of-2 free throws, and CU was forced to foul. Armstead buried two foul shots with 15.2 left to give WSU a three-point cushion.
Wichita State had four players in double-figures, led by 16 from Hall. Armstead and Cleanthony Early each posted 13 points, while Williams closed with 10.
Creighton returns to action on Wednesday with a 7:05 pm game at Drake.
NOTES: Creighton had its 11-game win streak snapped, as well as its six-game road winning streak ... Nine of the last 16 Creighton/Wichita State games have been decided in the final 15 seconds (The two teams are an even 8-8 in the last 16) ... Doug McDermott's previous career-high against Wichita State had been 13 points ... Creighton has not had a lead change in the final five minutes in any of its 19 games this season ...Doug McDermott has made at least one three-pointer in each of Creighton's last 17 games, The Valley's longest active streak.

|Firefighters make progress in Pisgah
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 15 June 2007 18:19
Heavy rain showers brought relieve to the nearly 400 firefighters tackling the Linville Gorge fires in the Pisgah National Forest Friday.Between .8 and 1.0 inches of rain fell on the Dobson Knob and Shortoff Mountain fires overnight, knocking back the fires and allowing crews to continue building and strengthening containment lines. As of 4 p.m. Friday, approximately 1,700 acres had burned from the two Burke County fires. The fires began with lightning strikes on June 6.
The damp conditions helped firefighters complete lines around the 818-acre Dobson Knob fire. Officials hope to be able to declare it contained this weekend. The Shortoff Mountain fire, however, due to its steep rugged terrain, poses more of a problem. Firefighters hope to continue back-burning, or clearing out combustible fuels inside the control lines to make it more difficult for fires to spread. The Linville Gorge Wilderness remains closed to the public.More information, including detailed maps showing the current locations of the fires, can be found at the National Forests in North Carolina website, http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc.

Matt Harvey is here to win!
"I'm here to win," Matt Harvey told reporters Monday at Citi Field, where he long-tossed and hit in the indoor batting cage.
"I don't make those decisions on who's the ace, who's not the ace," he said. However, "In the long run, that's where I want to be. … Every time I take the mound, I don't want to lose. I take the mound fighting for every single pitch. I take anger to the mound, I take a lot of aggression. That's the fight that I have to win."
Harvey had a 2.72 ERA in 10 starts for the Mets last season, but was shut down in mid-September to keep him from exceeding an innings limit set by the team.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I said this last week, but it's worth repeating here: Harvey has the physical talent, obviously. But, what impressed me most, and what has me most excited for his future, and what probably inspires the Mets to go overboard when speaking about him, is his work ethic and focus. It's impressive. He has a maturity, poise, consistent attitude and professionalism that I expect to be a difference maker for him.
In regards to his physical talent, he still needs to keep working at walking less batters. And, he's going to hit a bump in the road or two during his first full season in the big leagues, because it happens to most pitchers. Because of these two hurdles, I don't expect him to replicate his 10 starts from 2012 over 30 starts in 2013. Instead, I'm expecting a 4.00 ERA (maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less), I expect to see a good number of strike outs and around 180 innings pitched. In either case, I think he's a mid-rotation guy (with ups and downs) in 2013 … on his way to being a consistent, top-of-the-rotation workhorse for many, many years to come… and I think he has the potential to be a second Face of the Franchise, given statements like the above quote.

Hello All,
I am a wife to one great husband, mother to two precious tweens, and now a new mama to one very special pitbull mix, Gunner. I live in a small city outside of Houston, TX, and work in the medical field. I wanted to join a forum with not only great information on pitbulls, but also full of nice, respectful people. Looks like I found it! I actually was looking to get a poodle mix or bichon frise after researching for a service-type dog for my daughter with autism. I even volunteered at a local poodle rescue with my son to get used to being around dogs. My husband, who was not on my side at first about getting a dog, finally opened up to the idea. He then started looking for mastiffs, pitbulls, cane corsos... the opposite of the small furry pet I was searching for. He then told me of a family member who wanted to get rid of their dog, a pitbull mix, and after much researching and consideration, I agreed to meet the dog they wanted to give away.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw Gunner. Thin, frail looking, but super friendly. He slept outside in the backyard of his previous owners, but they let the dog run wild all over the neighborhood. He would come home when he was hungry and sleepy, eating scraps they would throw at him and a couple of towels on the cold cement. He warmed up quickly to me and my son, and playfully tried to nibble at my daughter's toes. My daughter is non-verbal, but her noises at Gunner to stop were quickly obeyed. He was sweet to his former owner's young children, allowing rough playing and constant petting. I thought long and hard about bringing him home, and two weeks later he was mine.
He has been with us for 4 days now, and I know now what other pitbull owners mean when they say, "once you own a pitbull, you wondered how you lived without one." It has quickly become the case with me. Gunner is so eager to please, walks on a leash like a pro (he never wore one before), and already responds to his name (I already had the name Gunner picked out for whatever male I was going to adopt). He has been eating like a horse since the first day with me, but I didn't know if his lethargy was homesickness, stress, or illness. Yesterday, I found my answer. My new dog is sick.
Hookworms, heartworms, ear infections in both ears, and an intestinal infection were his diagnoses, aside from having a sore left rear leg from an injury that happened two days prior to me taking him home, a fever, and being underweight (39 lbs at 8 months old). He never even stepped foot in a vet's office before, and was getting poked and prodding in all directions, but he took it like a champ. Heartworm treatments begins after he is fever and diarrhea free, already on antibiotics for the infections and deworming for the hookworms. I had told my husband that there is no such thing as a free dog, and boy am I right! This poor baby was forced to live his young life practically on the streets, defending and feeding himself. But that is the past. This is now, and he is quickly learning that his life is better now.
Four days of being with this dog has opened up my mind and heart in a way that I never thought possible. I've had dogs growing up (mostly poodle mixes), but this one is definitely different. Seeing his beautiful brown eyes when he is waiting for me to pet him is priceless. He is practically housetrained, amazing for being an outside dog his whole life, and has to know where I am at all times. I hate to think that this awesome dog was completely disregarded in the past, but I somehow feel that I was meant to save him. I can't wait to let everyone know how Gunner is progressing (in behavior, size, and health), and get to know fellow members on this forum. (PS: My new boy's pic is my profile pic, not ready to sign up to a photo site yet.)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this extensive story of my new dog and me

CORNISH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Ever since news came out that the Stanley Cup was coming to Cornish, Krista's Restaurant, the cup's host has been getting a lot of phone calls.
The Stanley Cup is coming because everyone in the Bruins organization gets one day with it. Bruins executive Jim Bednarek has a house in Cornish and asked if he could have a party with the Cup at Krista's.
Krista Lair, the owner of the restaurant, is planning a big event to celebrate the Cup's arrival, but she says she wants to make sure that people who come know what to expect. There is just one table left inside the restaurant. It's for 8 people and is being auctioned off to benefit Sacopee Valley athletics. The winner will get dinner with a great view of the Stanley Cup and photos with the Cup. If you'd like to make a bid, you can email Lair at firstname.lastname@example.com. She can let you know what the high bid is. You can also find more information about the auction on the Events section of Krista's Restaurant's Facebook page.
Krista's also is hosting a barbeque outside the restaurant for anyone who wants to attend. Be aware, though, that access to the Cup will be minimal. It is expected to only make a couple of passes through the outside tent, and it's not going to stop for photo opportunities. It costs $5 to get into the beer tent.
Parking is being provided at the Fairgrounds down the street and is $5. Proceeds go to the senior class of Sacopee Valley High School. A shuttle will take people to the event. There is no parking in downtown Cornish, and the York County Sheriff's Department will be directing traffic. There will be some detouring around town to control traffic.
The party runs from 5:30 pm until 9:30 pm on Wednesday, September 28. You can see other details on the restaurant's Facebook page.

Advanced Therapy Lotion
This extremely ordinary, mineral oil?based body moisturizer for dry skin falls short.
Daily Moisture Lotion
The main ingredients can make dry skin look and feel better, but not to a significant extent.
Add to Faves?
Lubriderm At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; some fragrance-free body lotions; Lubriderm provides complete product ingredient lists on its Web site.
Weaknesses: Mostly outdated formulas that lack a range of skin-repairing ingredients; the body lotion with SPF 15 does not provide sufficient UVA protection; not much distinction between formulas, especially in the Daily Moisture range.
Among body lotion brands, Lubriderm is recognizable at drugstores and grocery stores around the world. Unfortunately, most of their formulas are about as exciting as watching grass grow! Instead of providing dry, itchy skin with a range of state-of-the-art ingredients proven to offer lasting benefits, Lubriderm stops short at the basics, with formulas that echo back to the 1960s.
What Lubriderm leaves out are the ingredients that would supply your skin with a healthy dose of antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, or cell-communicating ingredients. All these types of ingredients can actually "repair" skin, not just put a Band-Aid® on the problem of dry skin.
Lubriderm products are not bad, but it's like using a typewriter instead of a computer. Simply put, science has advanced skin care far beyond what Lubriderm formulas provide.
Lubriderm's price point is attractive, but saving money isn't always the end game. Besides, there are other inexpensive brands whose impressive body moisturizer formulas mean you don't have to settle for less. At the drugstore, check out the options from CeraVe, Olay, and St. Ives or online from Paula's Choice for stellar inexpensive examples. Actually, the previously mentioned are some of the best examples around because even the expensive body products often omit the advanced ingredients.
For more information about Lubriderm, call (877) 543-8477 or visit www.lubriderm.com.
