Installing and configuring Linux has really come a long way in the last few years. People who used to be afraid of it are now starting to realized the benefits and seeing that they out weigh the learning curve. It is usually ready to use straight out of the box but here are a few things that I do after an install to make my experience a little more pleasant.
The first thing I do is change my repositories. For those who do not know, Linux is an open source operating system and so is the available software. That means the source code is available to the public and anyone in the community can contribute patches and improvements. These patches and improvements are posted in a CVS repository. When you search your package manager for software to install it searches the repository for the data. There is a button to automatically select the best repository and use it as your default. Let it scan through the servers and pick the one it recommends when it is finished.

The number of millionaires in the country is on a rise. The Kotak Wealth report released in July 2014 shows that the number of ultra high networth individuals (UNHIs) rose by 16 per cent from 1,00,900 in 2012-13 to 1,17,000 in 2013-14, while their net worth rose by 21 per cent from Rs 86 trillion to Rs 104 trillion in the same period. While the housing needs of such individuals will have to be catered to, a share of that seems to be coming to Noida even though it has been known more for its residential offerings to the middle class. Noida is slowly but surely rising in stature and developers are beginning to raise their stakes and building residential properties in the super luxury segment priced at over Rs 10 crore.
Over the last few months, developers in Noida have launched at least three such projects, the latest offering being the Belleville Park in Sector 25 where home buyers will have to shell out a minimum of Rs 10 crore to own a house out of the 100 odd villas that Wave Infratech plans to build on the 52-acre land.
Even 3C tied up with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and launched its luxury residential apartments in the price range between Rs 7 crore and Rs 14 crore.
Earlier Supertech launched its Supernova project in Sector 94 in Noida where the apartments in its tallest tower Spira having 80 floors where there are 100 premium apartments priced between Rs 5 crore and Rs 7 crore.
The Brys Group too launched its 81 storeyed project Brys Buzz in Sector 150 in Noida a few months back. While the project will have a total of 291 apartments they would be priced between Rs 3.75 crore and Rs 18 crore, depending upon the size of the apartment.
Unitechs Golf and Country Club residential project situated on Noida Expressway that was launched in 2007 priced between Rs 2 crore to 5 crore is one of the earliest projects in the segment.
These projects open up a sharp contrast to the residential offerings of Noida till date. Over the last 5-10 years, people in the National Capital Region with modest budgets were attracted towards Noida Noida Extension and Noida Expressway because of its affordability and presence of adequate infrastructure but that seems to be changing now.

We're still going strong with our 2013 Summer Library Program (SLP) as we "Dig Into Reading," so this month we are going to spotlight an author/illustrator with books that fit perfectly with the theme.
There are a great number of people who write and illustrate children's picture books. The ones that we love tend to be simple with large pictures and easy-to-read text. Byron Barton is one of our "go-to" picture book authors for books that are perfect for reading to babies, toddlers, and preschoolers at story time.
Mr. Barton has authored and illustrated many books, and some he has illustrated for other people. From building and construction to things that go, these books are usually always checked out. His retellings of The Three Bears and The Little Red Hen bring a fresh vibe to classic stories. The stories that go along with our SLP theme include Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs; Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones; Machines at Work; and Trucks. Check our catalog for all of his other available titles.
Unfortunately, not much background information exists on Byron Barton, but The University of Minnesota libraries has several boxes of ink sketches for 8 of his books, which were published in the 1970s, and are housed in their special collections. There are, however, several apps that are available to download that are based on the books Trains, Planes, Boats, and Trucks. Produced by Oceanhouse Media, these apps make the stories truly interactive and are ideal for little fingers.

text: 10 February 2012 archive See all show photos HELMUT LANG has such a rich, memorable history, so it's wise not to go messing around with it too much. Michael and Nicole Colovos, the current designers, haven't, but they have managed to find a way to make the brand their own, building upon its iconic DNA. The designers honed in on Lang's lasting legacy this season with an assortment of clothing that had professional aspirations, but an after-hours finesse. There were tailoring elements like blazers in pebbled (or "blistered" as the show notes said) leather, shown with second-skin, treated denim. This textured, reptilian fabrication thread itself throughout the entire collection, and added a nefarious, foreboding sensuality despite it being a mostly covered-up outing. In contrast to these finely rendered materials, the collection was plentiful in furs of varying lengths (from a refreshing white jacket with tufts of shaggy fur to a body-con coat made of shorn, finely cut pony hair), loosely knit and slouchy sweaters, and webby lace. It was a collection that invited you to reach out and touch it. Those expecting louche minimalism may be surprised, pleasantly so, at the amount of pattern and colour. Wine-like burgundies, sandy beiges, slippery slates, and a nebulous reddish print broke up the predominantly black collection, and added some heat to a show that could have been lost to monochromatism. There was a healthy mix of separates and drape-y, tucked dresses, and plenty of enviable footwear courtesy of LD Tuttle. Additionally, there was a grittiness and sordid nature to some of the pieces, reckless and cool. Perhaps most surprising was the versatility of the collection. If one can look past the ominous styling, there really was something for everyone. A grand coat, a lanky trouser, an artfully hanging dress, or a sharp suit jacket with leather braid detailing are all things that women, of many walks of life, could use in their closets.

Yoshimizu-jinja Shrine
The setting of many historical dramas
With stunning vista of cherry blossoms
Mt. Yoshino in the south of Nara is famous for cherry blossom viewing. Yoshimizu Shrine is situated in this magnificent scene. Originally it was a monastery called Kissui-in for practitioners of Shugen-do in the mountain. However, with the issuance of the Ordinance Distinguishing Shinto and Buddhism in the last half of the 19th century during the Meiji Period, the monastery was changed to a shrine dedicated to Emperor Godaigo.
Its gate is small and the precinct is not wide but the shrine is famous for various dramas involving many important historical figures who appear in school textbooks of Japanese history. The best known historical fact is that this was the imperial residence of the Southern Court during the period of the Southern and Northern Courts (1336-1392). Emperor Godaigo who fled from Kyoto used the shrine as his temporary palace and established Yoshino Court.
This is also the place where Toyotomi Hideyoshi who unified the country held a big cherry blossom viewing party and the hiding place of Minamoto no Yoshitsune fleeing from his pursuers. This is why the shrine houses more than 120 treasures and is called a treasure house of Important Cultural Properties. The shrine is also registered as a World Heritage Site. Ascend a steep hill before the shrine and you will reach a spot commanding a panoramic view of cherry blossom. The spot is called "1000 trees at one view" at which Tohotomi Hideyoshi is said to have gamboled like a child.

Director Says He Turned Down 'The Stand' Because He Thinks It Will Work Better As A Mini-Series
Even though he just signed on for a big screen reboot of the beloved "Doctor Who," Deadline report that WB are sending "The Imitation Game" his way. The script, picked up last month for seven figures, was initially reported to have Leonardo DiCaprio chasing the lead with Ron Howard directing. In any event, based on the biography "Alan Turing: The Enigma," the film is a bioipic of the English multi-hyphenate -- mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, computer scientist -- whose cracking of ciphers made a massive difference in World War II and whose exploration into early computer design paved the way for the technologies we have now. However, he was a closeted homosexual who, once he came out, subjected himself to "treatment" programs and sadly took his own life in 1954. It could certainly be a game change from the spectacle of the boy wizard, which may be exactly what Yates is in the mood for.
But he's also proving to be exacting about his choices. In a recent interview with Collider Yates reveals that the studio's vision for "The Stand" as a big blockbuster movie with set pieces didn't gel with his own interpretation of the material, leading him to exit the movie.
"My issues though were about the adaptation. I wanted to work with ['Harry Potter' writer] Steve Kloves, Steve Kloves wanted to work with me, we were both committed to doing it, but in that time it took to let go of 'Potter' and to think about how we would tackle the adaptation, we both decided that it wasn't for us, so we left it. We sort of withdrew basically," Yates explained.
"What I love about King's work and what I love about 'The Stand' is the fact that Stephen King really puts you into these people's lives, and you see the world from a very intimate human level, which normally is something I love," Yates said.
"But we felt this pressure to make these super tentpole movies with this material, and the things that you get in Potter - which are these extraordinary episodes of action - they didn't exist in the material, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to deliver the kind of movie that ultimately the studio was hoping to get from this material," he said. "I could see making a miniseries from it, a really interesting, intricate, layered, enjoyable long-burn of a miniseries, I could see that, but what was missing for me were the big movie moments in the material, the big set pieces."
It's some frank talk from a director who knows about adaptation tentpole material. But it shows the level of respect Yates has that WB still are eager to work with him even though he turned down a potential huge moneymaker. Now whether or not WB will need that advice about his approach remains to be seen (doubtful), but clearly Yates is a blockbuster moviemaker with a clear idea that the material needs to stand on its own first.
So we'll see how this plays out, but for now, we want to know who's gonna take over the iconic "Doctor Who." And we've got a few suggestions.

While the general consensus is that software giant SAP AG (NYSE:SAP) paid too much, or will pay to much, for its acquisition of semi-rival Sybase Inc, (NYSE:SY), very few journalists have actually defined the idea of "too much," other than the fact that SY shares are 56% more expensive than they were prior to the announcement.
Even fewer journalists have looked at any of the numbers beyond the $5.8 billion SAP is paying to bring Sybase into the fold. So, before you draw any conclusions about SAP's acquisition, can we at least take a look at what it's getting for its $5.8 billion smackers? Maybe the 56% premium is still a bargain.
IN PICTURES: How To Make Your First $1 Million
It's All Relative
How much is $5.8 billion to SAP AG? Not a lot in the grand scheme of things. The company does about 11 billion euros in revenue per year, and earned about 1.78 billion euros in 2009 - and that was an off year. As of the end of last quarter, SAP was sitting on about 3 billion euros worth of cash or cash equivalents.
And what about Sybase? The company's been pulling fairly reliable annual revenues of about $1.1 billion, and turning that into yearly income of anywhere from $130 million to more than $160 million.
That may well be why so many investors are balking; it's a $5.8 billion outlay for a company that's only apt to boost the bottom line by, let's be generous and say $200 million for starters? The acquisition's P/E ratio using those numbers rolls in at a fairly pricey 29 versus the stock's (SY's) approximate P/E of 21.4 prior to Wednesday's jump.
However, there are two things that the acquisition's opponents may be forgetting.
Sybase is sitting on some cash and near-cash holdings of its own - about $1.3 billion as of the end of last quarter. Since SAP is buying all the assets of Sybase as well (and will get that cash put back in the coffer), the actual price tag of the purchase is more along the lines of $4.2 billion. That brings the enterprise's P/E level down to a more palatable 26, give or take, based on 2009's numbers. It's 24.4, using Reuters' income estimates for 2010. Either way, it's cheaper.
Par for the Course
Even at an earnings multiple of 24.4, some current SAP owners may grumble, citing that 56% premium over Tuesday's last price. Fair enough. However, such premiums aren't unusual in the business, and the recent instances have worked out fine.
Take Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL), for instance. It paid a 30% premium for Phase-Forward (NASDAQ:PFWD) last month.
Also too much? Maybe, or maybe not. Prior to Oracle's acquisition announcement, PFWD was trading at about 22 times 2010's expected earnings. After the price jump to $16.80, Oracle ended up paying a projected P/E of about 28.5, which in the same ballpark as SAP's purchase of Sybase. Yet, the Oracle decision caught much less criticism.
Bottom Line
Two points need to be made of the negative reaction to the premium SAP will be paying.
The first is - as the number crunching above indicates - the SY price tag really isn't all that unusual, even if Sybase ends up earning something closer to 2009's numbers than its expected 2010 earnings. The flurry of questions and jeers may be largely the result of the market's implosion after the Oracle news, but before the SAP news. Investors may just be overly sensitive to premiums at this time, and in this case, they may not have even bothered thinking bout anything other than the price premium.
The second point is that in most cases, and particularly with technology, growth is generally more important than valuation. Yet, valuation seemed to be the stumbling block here. So, before jumping to any conclusions, investors should understand that Sybase was expected to grow earnings by 43% this year, and by 9% next year.
Between the typical "tech acquisition" valuation and the forecasted growth, the "they paid too much" arguments don't hold a lot of water. (For related reading, take a look at The Wonderful World Of Mergers.)

My washing machine has been clogging the drain every couple of months, causing it to leak water on the floor. I want to put a filter on the discharge pipe to catch the dog hair and lint that are clogging the drain. It drains into a pipe, NOT a tub. Where can I get a filter and how much do they cost?
i see the filtrol 160 on the internet, but is there something that costs less than $150 that will work with a stand pipe or is this my only option?
The best filter has always been the old nylon stocking on the hose in the laundry tub.
You still need to watch it but it sure can hold alot of lint.
Safe plumbing brings life and health giving water into our homes, business, hospitals and takes away death and disease causing waste.
You still need to watch it but it sure can hold alot of lint.
Safe plumbing brings life and health giving water into our homes, business, hospitals and takes away death and disease causing waste.
I have a newer GE profile top load washer and with a standard standpipe and I could not use this device. I had to replace my leach bed on my septic after only 10 yrs so I thought this would be a good idea. My stand pipe is only about 6 inches below the top of the washer so I had to mount the Filtrol 160 about 60" high to put the bottom discharge hose of the filtrol slightly above the stand pipe. The extra back pressure was causing a leak coming from the inside of the washer on the pump hose, which I was able to fix. But even after I got that fixed the water would come flooding back into the wash tub after the final spin cycle completed. Which of course soaked the clothes. I guess the pump can't handle the height of the Filtrol 160. The company I bought it from will not allow me to return it, so I'm out $150.00!! I think if you have a lower stand pipe or use a sink to drain your washer it would work. I would steer clear if you have a standard height drain pipe. My washer and dryer are in a small closet so putting a hole in the wall to lower the standpipe is not an option since there wouldn't be enough room to mount it anyway.

Tickets will cost $7 for adults and $5 for youth (ages 16 and under). UCLA students can earn free admission by presenting their BruinCard at the main gate. The winner of Saturday's contest earns the No. 1 seed at next weekend's MPSF Tournament and will capture the MPSF regular-season crown.
No. 1 Stanford (20-1, 6-0) at No. 2 UCLA (18-2, 5-1)
Saturday, April 21 - 6:30 p.m.
at UCLA's Spieker Aquatics Center
Radio Broadcast Information (audio link here)
Saturday night's match against Stanford will feature a live audio broadcast, free of charge, available online at uclabruins.com. The broadcast will begin roughly five minutes before game time, at 6:30 p.m. The game will also feature a live video stream (see link above).
The Series Against Stanford
UCLA and Stanford have split their two meetings this season, both in non-conference action. Stanford earned a 9-5 victory in the championship match of the Stanford Invitational on Feb. 5. UCLA edged the Cardinal, 5-4, in the title game at the UCI Invitational three weeks later (Feb. 26). KK Clark leads UCLA with five total goals in the team's two games against Stanford.
Bruins Take Two on the Road
The Bruins have won 12 of their last 13 matches, having earned a pair of victories in non-conference action on the road last weekend. KK Clark scored a team-leading five goals on Saturday in a 10-6 win at No. 6 UC Irvine. Sarah Orozco slammed home a penalty shot in overtime on Sunday, lifting the Bruins past Loyola Marymount, 7-6.
Leading the Way on Defense
Backed by goalkeeper Caitlin Dement, UCLA has recorded a 5.20 goals against average through 20 matches, the second-lowest mark in the MPSF. Dement's 5.11 goals against average also ranks second in the conference. The senior from Chino, Calif., has tallied a season-high 14 saves in three matches this season.
Honoring Our Seniors
Prior to Saturday's game against Stanford, UCLA will honor its five seniors in a special "Senior Night" ceremony. Nicole Barker, KK Clark, Caitlin Dement, Sarah Orozco and Hannah Sebenaler will be playing in their final regular-season home game that night. This year's senior class was a part of the Bruins' historic 2009 NCAA Championship team as freshmen.
KK Among MPSF's Top Scorers
With the MPSF Tournament approaching, senior KK Clark ranks second among MPSF players with 2.30 goals per game. She leads UCLA with 46 goals in 20 matches. Clark has scored in all but one match for the Bruins, having netted a season-high five goals in UCLA's 10-6 win at UC Irvine last Saturday. The resident of Atherton, Calif., enters this weekend's game against Stanford having scored 157 career goals.
Player of the Week Selections
KK Clark has twice captured MPSF Player of the Week acclaim, while Caitlin Dement secured the weekly honor on March 5. Clark was named MPSF Player of the Week after UCLA went 3-0 at the Michigan Invitational (Jan. 21-22) and after leading UCLA to the UCI Invitational title on Feb. 26. Dement recorded 11 saves in UCLA's 6-5 win at USC on March 3 to earn the weekly award.
Key Performers for UCLA
Seven Bruins have registered at least 10 goals this season, while five players have each dished 12 or more assists. Becca Dorst ranks second on the team with 22 goals, having totaled 12 assists and 21 steals. Emily Greenwood has scored 19 goals and leads UCLA with 54 earned exclusions (including 10 last weekend).
Looking at the Conference
The winner of Saturday's match between UCLA and Stanford will earn the No. 1 seed in the MPSF Tournament. The remaining six seeds have been determined and are, in order, (3) USC, (4) Arizona State, (5) California, (6) San Jose State, (7) San Diego State and (8) Hawaii. UCLA will open the MPSF Tournament on Friday, April 27, against either Hawaii or San Diego State.

Duty to Children Is Moral, Legal
November 26, 2013
If members of a grand jury that spent months investigating the so-called "Steubenville rape" are right, there were attempts to cover up the crime....
ugly, good thing your law would only apply to state reps. Because if it were to apply to all government officials there's a confessed pot and occasional blow user occupying the Commander in Chief's office right now that would have to go.
Of course the previous Democrit Commander in Chief would be allowed to reoccupy as First Ladykiller because his admission to illegal drug use included the unquestionably reliable mitigating statement "but I didn't inhale."

One who is looking for a moral outcome from an immoral social people will always be let down. This case is just the tip of the iceberg. Children grow up fast learning from their peers and "adults" how to "act" in doing whatever makes "you feel good" This is immoral, but most don't even know it. Where does these "children" learn these immoral acts? From "adults" of course. It all comes from lack of respect. Lack of love. Lack of being close to ones own soul. To respect the life of others, one must 1st learn to respect your own life force. And then respect all human life. Doesn't appear that this will happen anytime soon for the masses.

I agree..and furthermore if a state representative gets caught buying or using an illegal drug such as cocaine he or she should also never serve in public office again. One Trey Radel ..should do time in jail and never work in public office again

A ruling that resulted in a temporary halt in Ohio executions last week means there are 148 inmates on Ohio's death row with uncertain futures. Ohio's death penalty is currently under scrutiny, largely due to opposition that's been raised from documented failures to follow protocol in state executions.
In January, Federal District Court Judge Gregory Frost of Newark, Ohio halted condemned murderer Charles Lorraine's Ohio execution because Ohio has allegedly demonstrated problems over the last several months upholding the execution protocol the state put in place itself in 1981. On Feb. 8, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Frost's decision, saying that because Ohio had been proven to stray from its own execution policies, it couldn't be trusted to carry out Lorraine's execution or any other death sentences. The next execution in Ohio is scheduled for April.
Frost is one of several advocating for the abandonment on Ohio's death penalty. "For close to eight years, the Court has dealt with inmate challenges to the constitutionality of Ohio's execution protocol. During that time, the litigation has morphed from focusing primarily on allegations of cruel and unusual punishment to allegations of equal protection violations. Ohio has been in a dubious cycle of defending often indefensible conduct, subsequently reforming its protocol when called on that conduct, and then failing to follow through on its own reforms," said Frost in his written opinion.
He goes on to describe instances in which state agents lied to the Court concerning state executions, expressing frustration about the state's lack of commitment to constitutional execution. "No judge is a micro-manager of executions and no judge wants to find himself mired in the ongoing litigation in which he must continually babysit the parties," said Frost.
That's just a piece of it; there are other judicial bigwigs hoping to have Ohio's death penalty overturned, including Senior Associate Justice for the Ohio Supreme Court Paul Pfiefer, who helped write Ohio's death penalty law when he was a state senator more than 30 years ago. According to Pfeifer, he's changed his mind because he sees the option of life without the possibility of parole more moral and socially beneficial.
Evidently, most of the deviations from the execution regulations were minor paperwork technicalities. Huffington Post reports the errors included switching the official whose job it was to announce the start and finish times of the lethal injection and not properly documenting that the inmate's medical records were reviewed.
Those in support of the hold, however, make another point. Controlling life and death is the most important power the state of Ohio holds; if it can't follow minor rules that it set for itself, who's to say there won't be larger, more detrimental errors in the future?
It's difficult to tell whether or not Ohio will just get a slap on the wrist for its slip-ups or if reform will be seriously considered. The death penalty has almost always been a part of Ohio's history, since it became a state in 1803. Ohio ranked third in the U.S. for executions among the 34 states that have the death penalty in 2011.
Listen to Paul Pfeifer and hear more about the controversy on The Sound of Ideas radio program below.
What did they know and when did they know it? Moreover, why aren't they commenting on it?
"They," in this case, are leaders of the Ohio Republican Party. And "it" is the drunken driving arrest of State Rep. Robert Mecklenborg (R-Green Township). In the 16 days since the April arrest became publicized through the media, the state GOP has been curiously silent about the matter.
In this week's Porkopolis column, I wondered how Cincinnati Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls felt about "being continually used as a human shield" by City Councilman Chris Bortz on an issue of a potential conflict of interest.
Apparently, the answer is, "Not too good."
Nearly two years after she filed the lawsuit, a congresswoman who lost in the March primary election has dropped her legal action against a political opponent.
A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Miami Township) told The Enquirer today that she decided to drop her defamation lawsuit against Madeira businessman David Krikorian. Schmidt filed the suit in June 2010, and had sought $6.8 million in damages.
Krikorian is claiming victory in the dispute, and told CityBeat the lawsuit was an intimidation tactic by well-funded special interests.
"Her lawsuit was entirely without merit," Krikorian said. "It was meant to silence and intimidate me and cost me money. It did not work."
Krikorian ran as an independent against Schmidt in 2008; he unsuccessfully ran in the Democratic primary for the same seat in 2010 and again this year.
During the '08 campaign, Krikorian distributed a pamphlet alleging Schmidt had received "blood money" from the Turkish government in return for her opposition to a congressional resolution that declared Turkey had committed genocide against Armenia during a 1915 conflict.
But the lawsuit proved to be Schmidt's undoing. She received more than $400,000 in free legal assistance from the Turkish Coalition of America to support her suit. In August 2011 the House Ethics Committee ruled that Schmidt received an "impermissible gift" but didn't "knowingly" violate the law. She was ordered to repay the coalition, which she has yet to do.
Shortly thereafter, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a nonpartisan watchdog group, dubbed Schmidt as one of the most corrupt members of Congress.
All of the drama took its toll: Schmidt lost the GOP primary earlier this month to challenger Brad Wenstrup. He defeated her 49-43 percent.
"It's time to move on," Barrett Brunsman, Schmidt's spokesman, told The Enquirer today about dropping the lawsuit.
The Turkish Coalition of America was among Schmidt's top contributors, donating $7,500 to her 2010 reelection campaign through its political action committee, and donating $7,600 to her in 2008.
Schmidt also traveled to Turkey at least twice while in office. The coalition picked up the tab for one of the trips.
Politico reported March 12 that Schmidt was in Washington, D.C., on Election Day, March 6, at a private luncheon with Turkish Ambassador Namik Tan.
"At times, Rep. Jean Schmidt has been closer to Turkish interests than those of her Cincinnati-area constituents," Politico's Jonathan Allen wrote. "Never was that proximity problem more telling than on Tuesday, when Republicans denied Schmidt renomination to run for another term."
When Allen sought comment for the article, Brunsman refused to confirm if the meeting occurred and sent an email that stated, "I think you have lost your way."
For his part, Krikorian said the experience has taught him that Ohio needs to pass legislation that penalizes lawsuits filed solely to silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their opposition. Such a tactic is known as a "strategic lawsuit against public participation," or SLAPP.
"I think the Ohio Legislature should consider passing an anti-SLAPP statue to prevent these kinds of abuses of the legal process," he said. "This lawsuit was an attempt to intimidate and silence me by Rep. Schmidt and the Turkish lobby."
Krikorian apparently lost in the March 6 Democratic primary by just 59 votes to William R. Smith, a virtual unknown from Pike County who didn't campaign, answer questionnaires or grant interviews. A recount is under way and Krikorian has asked for a federal investigation of Victory Ohio Super PAC, which made robo-calls on Smith's behalf but isn't registered with the Federal Election Commission.
Krikorian picked up 14 more votes in Hamilton County on provisional ballots once the results were certified. Meanwhile, Clermont County certifies its results on Tuesday.
That didn't take long.
Less than 48 hours after it was revealed that the Ohio Ethics Commission issued an advisory opinion last year stating Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Bortz shouldn't take part in decisions about a proposed streetcar project, a formal complaint has been filed with the commission.
A congresswoman's lawsuit against a local businessman and onetime political opponent is featured in an article today on the popular Politico website.
U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Miami Township) is suing David Krikorian, who ran as an independent against Schmidt in 2008 for Ohio's 2nd Congressional District and also unsuccessfully ran in the Democratic primary for the same seat last year. He lost that race to Surya Yalamanchili, a former contestant on a reality TV show who lost the general election to Schmidt by capturing 35 percent of the vote.
Perhaps the perfect antidote to The Enquirer's fawning, superficial coverage of the new House Speaker is the profile of John Boehner that appears in the new issue of Rolling Stone.
West Chester's favorite son — who is now second in line to the presidency — doesn't come off well in the lengthy article by political writer Matt Taibbi, who quotes both named and anonymous sources from both sides of the political aisle who have worked with Boehner over the years.
Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke is asking for a special meeting of the county's Board of Elections to investigate what he says are false claims made by Steve Chabot and Mike Robison.
Chabot and Robison allegedly have told people that State Rep. Denise Driehaus (D-31st District) has contacted the Board of Elections about switiching her name on the fall ballot from Driehaus to her married surname. The implication is that she is trying to distance herself from her brother, Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill), who is in a heated campaign against Chabot.

Next month's FIA Appeal Court hearing into Daniel Ricciardo's disqualification is being viewed as a test case for the success of the new fuel efficiency regulations.
But beyond the outcome of that hearing, Red Bull boss Christian Horner has called on the teams and the FIA to get together to discuss the wider implications of fuel-flow sensor accuracy.
He fears that if the situation is left unchecked, with many teams questioning the accuracy of the current sensors, then those with more favourable readings could be gifted performance benefits.
"We have got to find a better way - especially when the margins are so fine and the knock-on in performance is so significant," Horner said.
"Depending on the calibration of your sensor, it will determine your competitiveness, which is completely wrong.
"Teams will end up buying hundreds of sensors, as some manufacturers already have, to try to pick the best.
"It ends up like the tricks in go-karting, where you go through carburettors to try to find the best ones. I don't think that is an acceptable way of moving forward."
Horner reckons that teams and the FIA need to agree on a plan that leaves everyone happy that the fuel-flow sensor readings are as accurate as they can be.
"We know that some cars' fuel sensors didn't work at all in Melbourne - so we need to find a more robust and reliable way of having confidence in the FIA measurements," he said.
"And I think that is for the teams, and the technical guys at the FIA to find a solution, because there is too much at stake to be reliant on a sensor that is drifting around or unreliable.
"F1 costs millions and millions of pounds. There needs to be a better form of measurement than what we currently have."
Horner has suggested that perhaps F1 is wrong to rely on a single fuel sensor in the car.
"On an aircraft they have three sensors and they believe the mean between those sensors," he said.
"If one shows a drift then the other two count. I think it is very immature technology in F1 and we are trying to rely on a sensor that has proved to be problematic."

Re: The Opinion page article by Don Feder "Islamic world spewing venom" (A-J, 2-27).
After reading Don Feder's column in today's A-J, I can only agree with the statement made by the famous Desert Storm general. When asked if we should forgive those responsible for Sept. 11, he replied, "Only God can truly forgive. It's up to us to arrange the meeting."
Send them to Allah as fast as we can and as many as possible. They want a war. Let's give them a real one. They should realize we no longer have a "cold war" doctrine. First strikes, with nuclear weapons, are now authorized.

Exploding Cinema in Rotterdam
by Teresa Duncan
As a writer and producer of CD-ROMs, my experience with film festivals is
typically that festival curators and programmers -- if the festival even
accepts CD-ROM submissions -- don't know what to do with it. The
Interactive and CD-ROM programs of film festivals are usually ghettoized: a
small room off a festival hall with a few pale outcasts halfheartedly
pushing a mouse around a table while staring into the glow of computer
The "Exploding Cinema" program at the Rotterdam Film Festival, however,
helped to demonstrate the tremendous impact that "outsider" visual
narrative mediums, like artists' films and videos, CD-ROMs, websites and
computer games, have had on the way films and television programs are being
made and viewed.
When my design partner Jeremy Blake and I arrived in Rotterdam, we were
pleasantly surprised to see that our medium was given pride of place
alongside the work of established cineastes. I was delighted (and my ego
nicely stroked) to have my photograph taken and immediately put on the wall
labeled "Directors", alongside celeb movie makers like Gary Oldman and
Harmony Korine.
Our demonstration wasn't for several days, so we decided which lectures and
screenings we wanted to attend. Not surprisingly, most of the screenings
and lectures we were curious about were in the "Exploding Cinema" section.
The first thing we saw was a panel discussion on "Artists as Film
Directors" featuring British artist (and NYU Film School dropout) Steve
McQueen, photographer Sharon Lockhart, and Los Angeles Museum of
Contemporary Art film and video curator Kerry Brougher. This lecture
focused on art world biggies who have recently tried to make the crossover
into cinema, like Matthew Barney ("Cremaster 5") and Cindy Sherman ("Office
Killer"). There was a question and answer period after the screenings of
several of the artists' films, and some members of the audience seemed
quite shocked, and some even angered, in particular by Sharon Lockhart's
lovely and repetitive Sundance entry "Goshogaoka", a non-narrative
chronicle of Tokyo girls basketball team in practice. I was surprised at
the negative and antagonistic reactions, but was pleased to see that
someone was making film that evoked that kind of heated response.
I had always heard about the early audiences of this century rioting at
Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring", and now I could see how a work of art could
cause such a reaction. Portrayals of sex and extreme violence seem somewhat
commonplace in film, but the meditative non-narrative repetition that are
hallmarks of the work of film artists really set the Rotterdam audience
At the other end of the spectrum was the Friday night demonstration of my
children's CD-ROMs. The audience was rather small, but warmly receptive to
my titles "Chop Suey", "Smarty" and "Zero Zero." Many of the audience
members were enchanted by our interactive fairy tales for the junior jet
set. I noticed later that we were one of only two or three works in the
entire festival whose work was created for children. I wondered why
creating meaningful, intelligent content for kids isn't a very high
priority for too many film directors or artists or video game creators. I
guess being cool and making stuff for kids to is an oxymoron to many. The
non-Exploding Cinema people I spoke to at the festival only seemed
interested when I mentioned that we are currently in production on an
animated film and CD-ROM for adults.
On our last day in Rotterdam, we visited the Exploding Cinema Media Lab at
Pathé theater -- a disappointingly desultory grouping of computers under a
stairwell. The Media Lab did feature one great title: "Pa-Rappa the Rappa"
a demented Sony Playstation game where a homeboy puppy and a giant daisy
teach players how to rap, created by Rodney Alan Greenblatt.
Eyeballs swimming with all the delights we had experienced over the last
few days, we dragged ourselves to the closing night party, featuring DJ
Photek, who designs techno music for video games. At the party, we hung out
with glamorous Exploding Cinema curator Femke Wolting, and director Harmony
Korine, who had just deservedly won the critics' prize for his gorgeous
garden of white trash delights, "Gummo." Jeremy and I then retired to our
suite in the scary Golden Tulip Hotel, where I polished off a mini-bar
Snickers and a couple of those miniature bottles of Jack Daniels'.
[Theresa Duncan is the writer, designer, and producer of the award winning
CD-ROM "Chop Suey" distributed by Twentieth Century Fox. Her latest title,
"Zero Zero" an interactive fairy tale about the turn of the century, has
also won many awards. Theresa is currently directing an animated
mockumentary about an art scene similar to Andy Warhol's Factory, entitled
"The History of Glamour."]

Amgen's Outlook Brightens
Amgen Inc. AMGN -0.01 % Chief Executive Kevin Sharer said the company has brought costs in line and turned a corner, and now expects 2007 earnings to outpace recently lowered projections.
Speaking at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, Mr. Sharer said Amgen expects 2007 profit to approach $4.30 a share, rather than $4.13 to $4.23.
While it is too soon to say that Amgen, beset by slumping sales of its anemia drugs, has steadied, the CEO's reassurance to anxious investors helped boost Amgen shares 94 cents, or 2.1%, to $46.33 in 4 p.m. composite Nasdaq Stock Market trading. Amgen's full 2007 report is expected Jan. 24. For 2006, it posted profit of $4.6 billion, or $3.90 a share, on revenue of $14.3 billion.
Eric Schmidt, an analyst at Cowen & Co., said he was "comforted" by the new expectations.
Amgen's year of plunging sales and swooning stock followed studies showing that its blockbuster anemia drugs -- used to restore red blood cells suppressed by kidney disease and chemotherapy treatment for cancer -- can bring cardiovascular risks and fuel certain kinds of cancer. Scrutiny by the Food and Drug Administration and tightened reimbursement rules by Medicare depressed sales of its flagship drug Aranesp.
Amgen last summer cut staff 13%, canceled capital projects and slashed operating expenses -- actions that "came close to recapturing" lost product revenue, Mr. Sharer said. Sales of anemia drugs seem to have stabilized.
Yet 2008 presents continued challenges as regulators balance the risks and benefits of anemia drugs. In March, the FDA will convene its oncology-drugs advisory panel to help set guidelines for use of the drugs during cancer chemotherapy.
Because much hangs on that meeting, Amgen is postponing until June its annual business review, which had been slated for Feb. 13. Mr. Sharer said the company will still meet with investors in New York that week, but it will defer its big review pending FDA guidance affecting the fate of such anemia drugs. He said Amgen wants to devote the next month to planning for the FDA panel.
Amgen remains set back by Medicare's coverage decision limiting anemia-drug dosing more tightly than the FDA label permits -- a move Mr. Sharer criticized as a "troubling" limit on doctors' discretion.
This year, he said, Amgen will advance 10 new potential products into midstage development, and will seek partners to help advance its pipeline.
Amgen's best hope for recovering growth rests on denosumab, or D-mab, a new treatment for bones made brittle by osteoporosis and chemotherapy that Mr. Sharer has labeled a potential blockbuster.
But D-mab faces a crowd of rivals, so it needs pending studies to present clear and compelling evidence of superiority. Absent such data, he said, Amgen may seek a marketing partner in North America and Europe to share risks of entering the osteoporosis market.

In December 2010 I received a package from Mallorca, Spain. It was a Christmas card and a film from my friend Lorena Arance, whom I've met online through Flickr and blogging. We share a passion for shooting film and Lorena sent me one of her favorites – a German film called Müller 200. In return I decided to do a special project of everyday life journaling, which I know Lorena adores.
I loaded this Müller 200 iso film in my Minolta SRT 101 camera on December 29 and took one photo every day until the film was finished. Each day I made a note of what I had photographed and wrote a few words about that day.
The result is a record of 30 days of winter on the west coast of Norway.
Astrid is a freelance journalist and copywriter who loves photography.

Humphrey's Concerts celebrates 30th anniversary
Competing venues have come and gone, but Humphrey's has endured thanks to its intimacy, unique setting and diverse musical menu
Share your favorite Humphrey's concert
Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay has hosted many memorable performances, be it Miles Davis playing under heavy rains in 1985, Ravi Shankar's dazzling sitar showcase in 2001 or the mass sing-along with Crowded House in 2010.
Share your favorite Humphrey's memories in the Comments section below. Include the name of the artist, the year of their show and why their concert was so unforgettable.
From a grassy hotel shuffleboard court to a nationally acclaimed San Diego concert venue, the transformation and rise of Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay seems improbable enough for a Hollywood screenplay. (See below for the complete 2011 lineup.) The fact that the owner of Humphrey's didn't even know he had acquired a concert venue in 1984, when he bought the Half Moon Inn & Marina where Humphrey's is located, only adds to the improbability factor.
"There was no stage, no chairs, nothing," recalled Richard Bartell, the president of Bartell Hotels, one of San Diego's oldest and largest independently owned hotel companies.
Even after being taken to the empty concert site on Shelter Island during the off-season in late 1984, Bartell was baffled. "I asked: 'Where is the venue?' I was told: 'You're standing in it.' I said: "No way!' "
But where there was a hotel shuffleboard court, especially one overlooking a panoramic bay and the lights of Point Loma beyond, there was most definitely a way. And Humphrey's, which has hosted such music and comedy legends as Stevie Wonder, Bill Cosby, Dave Brubeck and Aretha Franklin since its low-key launch in 1981, long ago earned the right to toot its own horn. In the process, it has become a San Diego tradition for at least two generations of concertgoers — on land, sea (the venue's additional audience of freewheeling "boat people") and on the floating pier adjacent to the venue (which in 1984 sank because of overcrowding by fans during a Jimmy Buffett concert).
"We have gone to between 8 and 12 shows at Humphrey's every year since we moved here in 1989, and we took our two daughters to their first concert there in 2000," said Annika Bohl, a Point Loma resident.
"I grew up in Sweden and it's just delightful to take (foreign) visitors to Humphrey's. They think San Diego is heaven on earth to begin with, and it gets even better when you take them to Humphrey's."
This year's 30th anniversary season runs from May 3 to Oct. 25. It will feature more than 50 concerts by a mix of Humphrey's favorites (including B.B. King, Lyle Lovett and David Sanborn) and newcomers to the 1,400-capacity venue (including Adele, Jennifer Hudson and "Glee" TV series star Matthew Morrison).
"I love Humphrey's," said Indian music legend (and longtime Encinitas resident) Ravi Shankar, who performed there in 2001 and returned last year to attend a concert by musical pal Jackson Browne. "The atmosphere and the whole setting are fantastic. The only problem is, being so close to the ocean, delicate instruments like the sitar easily go out of tune."
Apart from the closely placed rows of plastic folding chairs, the issue raised by Shankar may be the only discordant thing about Humphrey's.
Indeed, in a national concert industry that sees new venues come and go almost as fast as Lady Gaga's latest barely-there stage outfits, Humphrey's has constantly thrived.
"It's unusual for any performance venue to last that length of time," said Gary Bongiovanni, the publisher of Pollstar, the concert world's leading weekly business magazine.
"Humphrey's is a very well-established facility that artists love to play at. It presents a lot of top acts who typically play much larger venues, like the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. And being located on the back lawn of a hotel makes Humphrey's absolutely unique."

I'm no DIY or bike expert, so please advise in easy language!!
I was riding my Giant Warp DS2 last night, and the right crank arm decided to just come off, leaving me stranded 15 miles out in the stix.....finally got home and saw that the Crank bolt nut has sheared off. Please see this photo.
If I'm right in my thinking (please tell me if I'm wrong), I need to get the remains of this nut out, and replace it with a new crank bolt.
Any ideas on how to get this out? It looks solid. I don't know whether to try drilling it, or if there is another method. If I need to drill it, what drill bit? Stupid question, but I'm useless at DIY etc.
Thanks in advance.

Page 171 of 193 CHAPTER XXXIII - Michael, Brother of Jerry
So St. Elias received his first lesson in compulsion. It was also his last lesson, and it never progressed so far as the training-arena, for it took place in his own cage.
Noosed in the customary way, his four legs dragged through the bars, and his head, by means of a "choke" collar, drawn against the bars, he was first of all manicured. Each one of his great claws was cut off flush with his flesh. The men outside did this. Then Mulcachy, on the inside, punched his nose. Not lightly as it sounds was this operation. The punch was a perforation. Thrusting the instrument into the huge bear's nostril, Mulcachy cut a clean round chunk of living meat out of one side of it. Mulcachy knew the bear business. At all times, to make an untrained bear obey, one must be fast to some sensitive portion of the bear. The ears, the nose, and the eyes are the accessible sensitive parts, and, the eyes being out of the question, remain the nose and the ears as the parts to which to make fast.
Through the perforation Mulcachy immediately clamped a metal ring. To the ring he fastened a long "lunge"-rope, which was well named. Any unruly lunge, at any time during all the subsequent life of St. Elias, could thus be checked by the man who held the lunge-rope. His destiny was patent and ordained. For ever, as long as he lived and breathed, would he be a prisoner and slave to the rope in the ring in his nostril.
The nooses were slipped, and St. Elias was at liberty, within the confines of his cage, to get acquainted with the ring in his nose. With his powerful forepaws, standing erect and roaring, he proceeded to get acquainted with the ring. It certainly was not a thing persuasible. It was living fire. And he tore at it with his paws as he would have torn at the stings of bees when raiding a honey-tree. He tore the thing out, ripping the ring clear through the flesh and transforming the round perforation into a ragged chasm of pain.
Mulcachy cursed. "Here's where hell coughs," he said. The nooses were introduced again. Again St. Elias, helpless on his side against and partly through the bars, had his nose punched. This time it was the other nostril. And hell coughed. As before, the moment he was released, he tore the ring out through his flesh.
Mulcachy was disgusted. "Listen to reason, won't you?" he objurgated, as, this time, the reason he referred to was the introduction of the ring clear through both nostrils, higher up, and through the central dividing wall of cartilage. But St. Elias was unreasonable. Unlike Ben Bolt, there was nothing inside of him weak enough, or nervous enough, or high- strung enough, to break. The moment he was free he ripped the ring away with half of his nose along with it. Mulcachy punched St. Elias's right ear. St. Elias tore his right ear to shreds. Mulcachy punched his left ear. He tore his left ear to shreds. And Mulcachy gave in. He had to. As he said plaintively:

I recently ordered a replacement fork for my road bike off ebay for a nice $15. It just came today and to my surprise the wheel doesn't quite fit. The tire rubs between the legs of the fork. Just rubs enough to make it hard to turn the wheel. I thought hm, maybe the person selling it was confused and sold it as 700c when it was in reality for 650 wheel. I took it out and put it in the frame and put the caliper in, and the caliper sits only a few mm lower on the rim than with my old fork. This makes me think that it is in fact a 700c fork with only a manufacturing difference to account for the few mm's of size.
Current wheel is a Mavic MA2 700c rim with a Maxxis Xepher Un Catergorie 700 x 25c tire. Tire is not too wide, just too tall (comes out too far away from the rim).
I can make it work out if I pull the axle a few mm's out of the dropout. Seems very unappealing to me to have the axle not sitting all the way inside the dropout. In a workable configuration the axle does not even start to protrude from the dropout, so it's still entirely "inside" the dropout. Is there some sort of spacer I can put on the axle (shimano qr skewer) so I don't have to rely on clamping the skewer ultra tight? I'd hate to be going down the road and hit a bump and have the axle slide fully into the dropout causing the tire to rub on the fork, and likely me to go flying over the bars.
Wow, that was way longer than it needed to be...

Heavy rain across central North Carolina has caused some road flooding and forecasters are warning that conditions could bring more flooding to the region.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch Tuesday from Winston-Salem to Rocky Mount, saying there's a chance of swelling streams and flooded roads until 6 p.m.
The weather service says radar estimates indicate that more than 3 inches of rain have fallen across much of Wake County, leading to minor road flooding. Water accumulated on roadways across the region.
Forecasters said showers will continue to develop across central North Carolina throughout the day.
(Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
The D.O.T. warns drivers to take extra precautions because of the threat of flooding. Here are some tips:
· Avoid driving through flooded areas, even if they seem shallow. Just one foot of water can float many vehicles, while two feet of rushing water can carry away SUVs and pick-ups;
· After driving through a puddle, tap your brake pedal to help dry your brake rotors;
· If your car starts to hydroplane, take your foot off the gas, apply the brakes in a steady, slightly firm manner without stomping and steer in the direction of the skid. If you have a manual transmission, push in the clutch and let the car slow down on its own;
· If the rain is extremely heavy, pull over in a safe area in a parking lot or on the roadside with your emergency flashers on, away from any trees or other tall objects, and wait for the weather to improve;
· Allow more travel time;
· Turn on your low beam headlights and use the defroster to increase visibility;
· If possible, stay in the middle lane where the road tends to be higher;
· Reduce your speed by at least five to 10 miles per hour and allow at least twice the normal following distance;
· Signal for turns ahead of time and brake early as you near a stop. Remember, roads are slickest in the first 10 to 15 minutes, especially if it has not rained for a while; and
· If a traffic signal is knocked out by a storm, regard the intersection as a four-way stop. If two or more vehicles arrive at the same time, the car to the right has the right of way and after signaling, may move in any direction. If two facing vehicles approach the intersection at the same time, any car traveling straight ahead or turning right has the right of way.

Two organizations hope to make back to school a little easier for Clark County's needy students.
The 2013 North County School Readiness Day will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Aug. 16. Preregistration will be on Aug. 2 at the North County Community Food Bank, 17 N.E. Third Ave., or Battle Ground Adventist Community Services, at the rear of the Center Point Building, 11117 N.E. 189th St.
Eligible students must qualify for the free or reduced lunch program in order to participate.
The annual event provides students in need with free school supplies, immunizations, clothes and other resources to better prepare them for school.
Last year, more than 950 backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed to K-12 students attending the Battle Ground, Hockinson and Green Mountain School Districts.
Free immunizations for children 6 months to 18 years old will be provided by appointment only through Sea Mar Community Health Center from 1 to 5 p.m. Aug. 16 at Battle Ground High School. Interested people are asked to call 360-566-4410 or 360-566-4427 to preregister.

Every year I teach a few garden design classes at a local adult and continuing education program. Regardless of the topic of the class, I am invariably asked by a student why a particular plant just keeps dying in their garden. Like many newbie gardeners, they fall in love with a plant, bring it home and plant it in their garden. The plant in question slowly dies but they go out and buy another one of the same plant and, to their surprise, it dies again.
Last week, the plant in question was a boxwood (Buxus). Here in southwestern Connecticut, boxwoods are the 'go-to' shrub and many homeowners, and even some landscape professionals, seem to think you can plant one anywhere and it will survive.
When asked to help solve the mystery of the dying boxwood, I launch into a mini-lecture about how native plants are often great choices for difficult planting sites like this one. Because they're adapted to our soil and climate conditions, a properly choosen native plant can be a key component to gardening success.
As a landscape designer, my first suggestion is not to plant any shrub in that location. Why not go with a native grass, like switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)? The cultivar 'Heavy Metal' with its steely blue foliage or 'Shenandoah' with its red-tinged foliage would be a colorful accent in front of the stone column and would offer food and shelter to local wildlife, especially if left standing over the winter. Not to mention, switchgrass is suited for those extreme site conditions.
No, it seems an evergreen shrub is the only answer. So my next suggestion is another native plant, inkberry (Ilex glabra). An evergreen holly, inkberry can deal with all the adverse site conditions the boxwood could not and it offers some additional benefits. In addition to adding some much-needed bio-diversity to the garden, inkberry berries (plants are dioecious so you'll need a male and female for berry production) are a favorite of birds like robins, blue jays, northern cardinals and woodpeckers, to name a few.
After a little silence comes a comment I often hear, 'native plants, I thought they were just for meadows or, you know, the woods'. Now I'll take 'Native Plants for Designed Gardens' for $200, Alex.

Enjoying glorious, year-round sunshine, villas in Lanzarote are a favourite with holidaymakers looking for both summer and winter getaways, and there really is something here for everyone. The sun-seekers will love the long stretches of golden sand and deep blue seas, whilst explorers can discover the most staggering volcanic scenery across the Canary Islands. There's endless family fun, from watersports and aquaparks, to safaris and sports, and shopaholics will find plenty of tax-free shopping plazas and boutiques.
From volcanoes to dramatic coastlines, Lanzarote is packed with natural attractions to explore.

Let the kids plunge into pools at the Aquapark in Costa Teguise, or hop on board a Catamaran for a fun day's sailing, sunbathing and sightseeing...
Beyond the lunar landscape, there are long stretches of gorgeous golden beaches, large protected bays at Costa Teguise and hideaway coves to discover. Chill out on Los Pocillos beach in Puerto del Carmen, enjoy the long sandy shoreline and beachfront restaurants at Playa Blanca, or for the great surf, Famara beach is the place to be. With surfing, snorkelling and sailing on your doorstep, Lanzarote is a real holiday hotspot!

Take a break from the beach to hit the shops! Head for Arrecife's shopping plazas and boutiques to snap up some duty-free bargains. With its streets crammed with souvenir shops, the best buys are local art, linen and leather. Head to the Biosfera Centre at Puerto del Carmen for fabulous shopping, or the popular Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca. If haggling's more your scene, Teguise's Sunday morning market is a great place to barter for traditional goods, and to taste the local cheeses.
8 resorts in Lanzarote
A pretty, bustling resort with a sandy beach and popular promenade, Playa Blanca is the most southerly resort on the Island of Lanzarote and is only 15 kilometres from the Timanfaya National Park.
The main holiday resort of Lanzarote, Puerto del Carmen is just fifteen kilometres from the island's capital town Arrecife. A wide, sandy beach, little rocky coves and a diving school line the coastline.
Matagorda boasts unique character and offers a wide variety of shops, bars and restaurants with an exclusive sea front promenade that stretches the length of the beautiful golden sandy beach.
Only a ten minute drive from the airport and a short drive from Puerto del Carmen, Tias has retained a friendly community spirit and offers the ideal location for peaceful, sun-soaked holidays by the pool.
The popular holiday resort of Costa Teguise is located five kilometres north of the island's capital town of Arrecife and is host to some nice sandy beaches loved by windsurfers.
Said to be one of the world's most modern and exclusive yacht harbours, the marina of Puerto Calero is situated on the south coast of Lanzarote between Puerto del Carmen and Playa Quemada.
Located 3km outside of Puerto del Carmen, the traditional Canarian village of Macher is a charming base in undiscovered Lanzarote and offers fantastic views to the coastal resort and Fuerteventura.
Situated between the resorts of Puerto Del Carmen and Playa Blanca, the typical Canarian village of Yaiza overlooks dramatic countryside and rugged mountains.

Villa U18 2-2 Tottenham U18: Stoppage-time strike denies Villa
Two of the league's form teams went head-to-head at Bodymoor Heath - and Tony McAndrew's team thought they had snatched a victory thanks to goals from Jerell Sellars and Kevin Toner.
But Spurs managed to avoid a first away defeat of the campaign thanks to Christian Maghoma's late effort.
The visitors started brightly and on four minutes Will Miller made a strong run into the Villa half before being fouled 25 yards from goal.
He stepped up and fired a superbly-taken free-kick past Aiden Grant.
But the claret and blues turned the game on its head.
Sellars capitalised on a mistake in the Spurs backline to score an equaliser three minutes before the break.
Villa staged an impressive second half performance, penning Tottenham in their own half for long periods.
On 57 minutes, centre-back Toner was well placed in the penalty box to convert a cross from the right.
But in the second minute of stoppage time, Emmanuel Sonupe crossed for Maghoma to score Tottenham's second.
VILLA: Grant, R Strain, Wildin, Cowans, Lyons-Foster, Toner, Lyden, Sellars, T Strain, Abdo, Calder. Subs: Zazrivec, O'Brien [for T Strain, 84], McKirdy, H Lewis.

Roshan Nepal, 29, died after his 2004 Honda Accord, traveling north on state Highway 35, veered into the southbound lane to go around a wrecker parked on the improved shoulder. Nepal's Honda hit a 1998 Chevrolet Silverado head-on, driven by Thomas Lee Edwards, 34, of Seadrift, said Texas Department of Public Safety Cpl. Charlie Ramirez.
Edwards and his passenger, Debby Vasquez, 36, sustained serious head injuries and were flown to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in Corpus Christi aboard a HALO flight emergency helicopter.
"All involved had their seat belts on," said Ramirez.
