Shopping in Indian River County is truly an exhilarating experience. From its charming independently owned shops along the beaches and mainland to the quaint shops in Sebastian's fishing village environment. Historic Downtown Vero Beach is home to many fine shops and eating establishments while Route 60 west to I-95 is where you can find the larger malls and shopping centers.
Free from the overcrowding found in other tourist communities, Vero Beach, Sebastian and Indian River County are indeed a shoppers dream.
Water is the main attraction in Indian River County and the catalyst for two of its biggest sports: boating and fishing.
Charters, Rentals
The miles of calm waters, protected from the Atlantic Ocean by the barrier islands, provide residents and tourists with many types of boating opportunities. If you don't own a boat, deep sea fishing boats can be chartered along the Indian River County coastline. Leisure cruises operate out of both Vero Beach and Sebastian. And for those who like airboating, Stick Marsh in the northwest corner of Indian River County provides just the opportunity. Canoes and kayaks can also be rented from various places including areas around the Sebastian Inlet Park.
If you have a boat and it is not moored at a marina, there are places in Indian River County that provide free launching ramps and parking spaces:
Riverside Park, MacWilliam Park, East Oslo Road, Round Island Park, Sebastian Yacht Club on Indian River Drive, Dale Wimbrow Park, Donald MacDonald Park, Wabasso Causeway, Fellsmere Grade, Blue Cypress Lake (Route 60 west of Vero Beach), and St. Johns Marsh - Barney Green (CR 512 west to Fellsmere).
If you are new to boating and have not launched a boat before, the State of Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission/Boating has put together tips on boat launching and other safety information.
The waters off Vero Beach and all of Indian River County provide year-round enjoyment for people of all ages. For saltwater fishing, besides the deeper, offshore waters, Sebastian Inlet is a premier location. Boaters can cruise the shallow waters or anchor near the jetties where grouper, snapper, and king mackerel abound. Further out, dolphin, wahoo, tuna and marlin keep fishermen busy. To try your hand at Offshore Fishing.
For those without boats, the Sebastian Inlet Park has two jetties reaching into the Atlantic. Surf fishing and walking along the miles of shoreline also provide great recreation.
Saltwater License Information:
- Licenses are required for all non residents regardless of where they are fishing
- For residents, licenses are required when fishing from a boat, shore, jetty. etc. (exemptions
are children under 16 and residents over 65).
Fresh Water
Inland lakes and the Sebastian River produce large mouth bass, black crappie, bluegills, and other gamefish. The best locations are Blue Cypress Lake which covers 6,554 acres at the western end of Indian River County--about 25 miles from Vero Beach on Route 60. The Stick Marsh a 6,500 acre reservoir in the northwest corner of Indian River County which has been named one of the Top Ten Black Bass Lakes in Florida by the Florida State Game Commission; and anywhere along the St. Sebastian River.
Fresh Water License: A license is required for all fresh water fishermen unless they are under 16 or over 65.
Surfing and Skim Boarding
Three miles of Atlantic beach offer some of the best surfing on the East Coast. One of the most consistent surf breaks in Florida is Sebastian Inlet's first peak, located next to the north jetty. Another hot surf spot is Monster Hole--located about 1/3 mile off the beach, on the south side of Sebastian Inlet. The contour of the ocean floor rises up and when the surf is big, the waves form long lines, giving a long ride. Sebastian Inlet
Some of the other areas surfed by the locals are Wabasso Beach and Spanish House.
Diving & Snorkeling
Vero Beach and Indian River County have some of the most unique places to dive.
Diving & Snorkeling
Great diving sites extend from the Sebastian Inlet to Round Island, including coral and artificial reefs and the site of the 1715 wreck of the Spanish galleon in the south end of Vero Beach.
Artificial Reefs
There are four artificial reefs along the beaches of Indian River County, about 200-300 feet off shore. The first, deployed in 1987 by FP&L, is located along the south beach of Vero Beach at a depth of 38 feet. The remaining three were placed in 1999 by the Indian River County Government and are located at depths of 66, 71 and 73 feet along the beach front of Vero Beach.
Coral Reefs
Verobeach Reef
This unique habitat is a nursery for all types of marine life – turtles, lobsters, manatees, rays, sharks, and over 200 species of fish and the Oculina Varacosa, Oculina Diffusia, fire, and a few other types of coral. The reef begins at about the Sebastian Inlet and runs unbroken to Riomar. It then picks up again off Sandypoint and extends a little south of the Ft Pierce Inlet. This reef, which parallels the coastline, is located very close to shore and extends out about a half mile.
The reefs foundations are exposed limestone formations which rise up from the bottom in various shapes and sizes. Some areas can be seen at low tide like the Riomar reef. The limestone ledges in some areas jet up from the bottom like huge monolithic outcroppings with vast caverns that disappear into the abyss. The ledges are very pronounced in the Vero Beach area with some of the highest 'Relief' --as referred to by engineers -- found anywhere. This habitat is most unique and is not found this close to the coastline anywhere else.
Parks and Camping
Whether you prefer to spend your vacation in a setting closer to nature, or if you just want to spend a night or two shedding the trappings of civilization, Indian River County is a great place for being outdoors.
The St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park can be reached without a boat. There are five primitive campsites in the preserve. North entrance is on CR 507 just north of the C54 canal. South Entrance is on CR 512, just west of CR 510.
If you're looking to be surrounded by water, the picturesque Islands in the Indian River are what you're looking for. Many rules and regulations apply and there's no electricity, but what can replace the sound of water lapping gently on the shore as you close your eyes for a sound sleep? For details about camping on the Islands in the Indian River Lagoon, visit Verobeach online
Only islands designated as "Active Recreation" are suitable for overnight camping. To coordinate camping activities on the islands North of Vero Beach contact the DEP office at 3783 N. Indian River Drive, Cocoa FL or visit Florida's Department of Environmental Protection website for general information.

China''s CNOOC to build gas terminal in Zhuhai -OGP
May 18, 2009
China National Offshore Oil Corp., China''s largest offshore oil producer, plans to build its South China Sea natural gas terminal in the coastal city of Zhuhai, according to Reuters. CNOOC, parent of CNOOC Ltd, signed a framework agreement with the local government earlier this month and plans to invest in a host of projects including the construction of the South China Sea gas terminal and a production base for deepwater offshore engineering equipment. Local media have put the investment at about 20 billion Yuan ($29.3 million). CNOOC has already built a natural gas terminal in Hengqin Island in the southern part of Zhuhai and has set up a LNG receiving terminal at the city''s Gaolan port. CNOOC will purchase 3.6 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year from the BG Group Ltd''s proposed Australian plant starting as early as 2014.

CNET editors' review
price range: $191.28
- Reviewed by: Bonnie Cha
- Reviewed on: 12/12/2009
The good: The Nokia N900 offers a powerful mobile Web browser, plenty of storage, a 5-megapixel camera, and an ultrasharp display. It's also fast, multitasks well, and has excellent call quality. Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and GPS are all onboard.
The bad: The user interface isn't very intuitive. Ovi Store for the N900 isn't live yet, limiting the number of available apps, and it doesn't sync with Exchanger Server 2003. The phone is a bit bulky and not all apps work in portrait mode.
The bottom line: While it has yet to reach its full potential, the Nokia N900 is a powerful mobile device with excellent browsing capabilities and vast customization options. However, its unintuitive interface and other limitations make this a smartphone for tech enthusiasts and early adopters only.

I have this phone on pre-order and this is going to be pretty much my be-all, end-all, mother-of-all-cell phones for at least a couple years.
This will be a phone worth getting just for historical purposes alone. 1st Linux phone.
I will add/edit more once I ACTUALLY get my hands on this phone and have used it enough to give a PROPER review.
I wouldn't even mind if they deleted THIS review as long as they delete other reviews from other people who don't own or have this phone too.

The EVERYTHING device
by Jayveebee on December 2, 2009
Pros: Wicked web browser, deep HD screen, zooming w/ finger twirl or volume control, responsive screen for non capacitive, buttery smooth scrolling, charge through USB or charger, perfect slide-out keyboard, best contacts handler on any device ever.
Cons: A little brickish, battery drains fast, sometimes you have to plug in charger or USB a 2nd time for it to recognize - weird, Carl Zeiss optics & 5MP not quite as focused as on other Nseries, non-responsive to headset volume control

Summary: With 32 gigs of space, a supercharged CPU and such a fine screen, the N900 is as potent as it feels. At first, for anyone used to the Symbian UI of other Nokes, you feel wonderfully lost figuring out the Maemo UI - then you realize this is as easy as it gets to add, subtract and other wise customize the screen. There are 4 desktops you can slide through, so you can cluster social thins, work things, etc., however you like. No fight for tight space.
The power options help you make the little battery (same size as for the 5800 music express) go the distance, but if you are going distances and want to use real GPS, get yourself an extra battery. Fortunately, unlike other Nokias, this N900 does let you get a charge through USB, meaning car trips, desktop computer time, etc., can easily be used to keep the power level up.
It's tempting to compare with Moto's Droid due to the form factor, but it's just not fair. Droid is priced down and featured down for mass audience. It's android on a big wide screen, and that's about it. Doesn't have the horsepower, the connectivity, the multimedia, the storage to compare.
The one problem I had was trying to get the camera logic down. It didn't want to stay focused where I put it, and the delay seemed a little longer and disjointed from other Nseries devices with the exact same optical and resolution specs. Could be that it was early. The Ovi Maps on it is cool, but limited in some features from the Ovi Maps on N97.
Apps play very well, and run in widget-view or full screen. The catalog needs expansion - these are linux-based .deb files. Nokia is pushing that along with a new development environment, QT, to replace the old GTK language. If that does allow developers to convert even some of the cool apps already on Symbian or Java, the N900 will be ruler of mobiledom. And if they get it to plug into Ovi and all the mapping, sharing and syncing/messaging features in it, people will understand what a really connected mobile services network can really do.
Oh, and in case you were looking for "just a smart phone", the 900 is the Harley, not the Vespa.

Summary: Nokia N900 is one mysterious looking device with loads of potential. Even though it is my first cell phone/internet tablet from Nokia, i am quite impressed with what Nokia did with Maemo OS.
I have always followed the news about Nokia devices, but none of the devices impressed me as much as Nokia N900. Even though i am new to Nokia world, this devices caught my attention amid apple fanfare and android glory sweeping the market.
Physical Aspects:
Nokia N900 is a bulky device compared to other phones/internet tablets in it's category and that is the only thing i can really complain about this device. But don't get scared, it is not awfully obese.
It feels much nicer in hands with it's compact form factor and the button layout looks logical. My only complaint is about volume up/down button. Not sure whether you know or not, Nokia N900 is mostly "landscape mode only" device. Even though Nokia promised that they are going to support portrait mode, currently only phone dialer works in portrait mode. Let me come back to my complaint. When the device is used in landscape mode the left end of volume button acts as "volume down" and right end acts as "volume up". But in phone mode (portrait) it's the opposite. Even though it's a minor issue, i got confused few times.
It is having all standard components like 3.5 mm audio out, microUSB and i feel it's a nice move by nokia to standardize these things. Apart from that the device is having a 5 Mega Pixel camera with flash and a stylus (yes, it is having a resistive touch screen).
Coming to the screen, Nokia N900 has a resistive touch screen and you don't have to poke with a knife on the screen to make it work. It is a sensitive screen and i haven't faced any problem even after using capacitive touch screens from past 2 years. Most important aspect of the screen is it's resolution - 800 x 480. The fonts look crisp and you don't have scroll the web pages horizontally much.
Nokia also provided a TV-Out cable along with device and it works great to see all your content on a TV. I am definitely impressed with the quality.
The Maemo OS used in Nokia N900 is based on Linux and it will impress you at the first glance. Nokia implemented multi-talking action pretty nicely and graphics are wonderful. I have used both iPhone and Android devices in the past but i have to rate the N900 version of desktop experience a bit higher.
Leaving the OS, the most impressive application in the device is the Browser. It is having native support for flash and worked pretty well on almost all the sites i have tested. No hopes for hulu yet, but i think it will change once flash 10.x for mobile is in the market. Sites render perfectly and i have faced zero issues with rendering. Here is the best part, you can just open regular gmail (desktop version) and upload a document/image stored in the device. How many devices in the current market can do that. At least i don't know any. Nokia can sue Apple one more time to take the "Waterdown version of Internet" Ad :)). The in-built browser is based on Mozilla and Mozilla itself is working on firefox mobile and it may come out anytime soon (stable version i mean).
There are few apps already available through various repositories and through ovi store and i think those numbers will increase over a period of time. All Nokia has to do now is continuously support the OS and grow the sales figures to attract more developers.
BTW, i forgot to mention about the Remote Desktop app available in one of the repositories. I have never imagined how easily i can transfer files between my N900 and desktop seamlessly with N900 automatically mapped in my PC. How cool is that. So, now you know there are some wonderful developers working on developing and porting applications to N900.
Even though N900 is not a perfect device it is definitely an device with good hardware specs combined with it's promising OS. Do i recommend Nokia N900 ? Yes, but only for people with patience. If you are a geek or somebody who wants to explore things and learn, then you are 100% match. If you just want a phone pretty touch screen with gazillions of apps then look elsewhere.

Unmatched in web browsing and multitasking...

" 800x480 screen
Cons: Ovi store for Maemo 5 not online, everything thing except for the phone is limited to landscape mode, no MMS, a little on the thick side

Summary: It took months of research and a great deal through Dell on this phone for me to ultimately go with the N900. This is my first foray into the smartphone world and I couldn't be happier with the decision.
I've had the phone for a couple of weeks now and have gone through just about every function at this point. The web experience is the same as any of my computers at home or work. In fact, the phone has saved me from booting up my home computer when wanting to look something up or just vege out online.
The call quality is good and the speaker phone works great. My last phone was a 4-5 year old Nokia clamshell. Being a fan of Nokia and their user interface was another deciding factor for me. Obviously the n900 UI is completely different than their cell phones, but I have to disagree with CNET on this point. I found the UI very intuitive and easily customizable. There wasn't a moment of confusion or frustration in it for me. And again, this is my first smartphone--though I have played around a lot with the mytouch3g and iphone. I am also a bit computer/tech savvy, so it might be more difficult for the tech novice than an iphone or android device. Another piece of anecdotal information, I let my friend (an iphone enthusiast) play around with my phone for a bit last week and after 30 seconds he was sold on it.
As for the negatives, almost all of them will not exist within a month or two. The ovi store is coming soon, and while I doubt it'll ever match the marketplace offered by android and apple, this phone is powerful enough to not require most apps--at least the ones meant to streamline the web experience for the mobile user, since this phone doesn't need it. I don't plan on playing many games, using my phone as a light saber, or using as an odorless fart factory. A fart without an odor is like a featherless chicken without a beak. MMS will supposedly come in an update soon, but since I've probably sent and received 4 or 5 MMS messages in the past 5 years, it's not a big deal for me... especially since I've synched the phone with my gmail and can send all of my pictures, etc with ease through that. The phone is thick and that's not going to change, but it's a good trade off for a solidly constructed phone with removeable battery, storage, and full qwerty.
I guess this phone should be looked at as a mobile computer with phone capabilities, than just your average smartphone. I'll agree with Nokia's marketing on that point, and additionally point out that there's nothing in either equation except for the minor things mentioned above.

Great phone, great review, bad rating
by ElGuero79 on December 14, 2009
Pros: 32gb,
super fast processor,
beautiful responsive screen,
great camera,
world roaming abilities,
good keyboard
syncs contacts and calendar perfectly with Outlook (2007)
Cons: A little biggish (but how can you avoid that with so many features?).
The interface takes a few hours to really get down, but after the learning period this becomes a non issue.

Summary: This phone deserves Droid's advertising slogan of "does". This phone's potential is limitless as it isn't constrained by bad hardware like the Droid (bad camera, no quad band, crappy keyboard etc)I just wanted to add that it tethers beautifully to provide internet to a device from the phone.
First thing I'd like to say is *** with the 3.5 star rating? The official review outlined a few small flaws but nonetheless, this phone is more capable than anything else on the market.
To address the issues, yes it's biggish, but doesn't feel as huge as my Touch Pro 2 felt. And it feels much more solid than the TP2. True, there isn't a lot of portrait mode, the app store isn't currently open, doesn't currently sync with Outlook 2003, but those are pure software things that Nokia knows and should be resolved very soon.
The user interface I wouldn't say is unintuitive by any means, but just like any new phone there is a learning curve and once you've played with it for a few hours you should have no complaints and even love it.
Also, apps are fun, apps are sweet, there WILL be apps, but when you have a browser that's no different from your computer in capabilities, do you need, say, the facebook app when you have the actual entire facebook on a webpage? But yes there are Facebook widgets, I especially love the one that accesses Facebook and takes all of your phone contacts profile pictures and birthdates and adds them to their contact card (no going around collecting pictures for caller ID).
I did need to call Tmo tier 3 support to get my phone's 3G straightened out, but they were as helpful as can be. Many people with this phone didn't need to call, but it may just be due to my particular package.
And big kudos to Tmo for offering the non contracted prices. 1000 minutes with unlimited internet and text is 69.99 whereas the contracted price is 84.99 if you're getting a 2 year contract subsidized phone. So essentially, you are subsidizing your own phone and over two years with $15 a month savings this phone (if bought at $500) will end up costing you $140. Not bad.
Updated on Dec 14, 2009
And valid point, the space bar could be more centered, I do have a habit of hitting "m" instead of "space", but I still think the reviewer was far off base giving this device/mobile computer/phone a 3.5.

Summary: Before N900 I used a desktop PC, a laptop, N810, navigator and a mobile phone. Now it is the desktop and N900 anymore. This is the best mobile device I have ever seen or heard about. I liked it so much I ordered one for my wife, too. After a couple of days she could not put it down anymore. :D
btw, the browser and the keyboard of N900 were good enough to write this review, create a cnet account and check the confirmation from the mail.com webmail.

By Web Staff – email AUBURN, AL (WTVM) – Members of the Auburn University family are working to preserve memorabilia places at the base of the historic trees at Toomer's Corner beginning Tuesday, April 12.
Much of the artifacts include personal items, signs, get-well wishes and moving tributes from former and current students.
The Auburn University Libraries' Special Collections and Archives Department made the decision to collect the unique items.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSBoehner Defends Environmental Deregulation In Aftermath Of Chemical Spill
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 14, 2014 3:35 PM EST
Updated: Jan. 14, 2014 3:41 PM EST
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker John Boehner suggested Tuesday that the Obama administration needs to do a better job of enforcing safety regulations designed to protect the public against disasters like the chemical spill into West Virginia's drinking water supply.
The Ohio Republican told reporters there already are enough safety and health regulations on the books. He said the Obama administration should be doing more and that someone should be held accountable for the spill.
Congressional Republicans have sought to eliminate many federal regulations that the Ohio Republican said the GOP considers burdensome and cost jobs.
Last week's leak from a chemical storage facility into the Elk River tainted the water supply for 300,000 West Virginians. Government regulators considered it low risk and it got scant attention from them.

Salesforce.com is placing HTML5 at the forefront of its mobile strategy with an upcoming product, Touch.Salesforce.com, that will automatically render its applications on touch-enabled devices like Apple's iPad, the company plans to announce Wednesday during its annual Dreamforce conference in San Francisco.
"They can access all the data, and all the customizations they've done in Salesforce.com come through," said Al Falcione, vice president of product marketing. The applications will provide both read and write access for customers, according to Salesforce.com. Its own core applications as well as any custom applications built natively on the Force.com platform will work with the new service.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 11 hard truths about HTML5. | Find out which 10 apps are pushing HTML5 to the limit. | Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Salesforce.com isn't giving up on developing dedicated native applications for mobile OSes, as it has in the past, but believes that HTML5's cross-platform adaptability makes sense for its core applications, since customers make frequent tweaks to the software and don't want to have to constantly download new versions, Falcione said.
The company considers native mobile development better for "single-purpose, quick-access" types of applications, he added.
Salesforce.com's plans also speak to the red-hot popularity of touch-enabled devices, noted analyst Ray Wang, CEO of Constellation Research. "The shift is happening," he said. "Tablets will outstrip PCs as the devices of choice in business. Moving to touch delivers what users will want."
The company is indeed betting big on HTML5. "It's the future of our user experience," Salesforce.com co-founder Parker Harris said during a keynote address Wednesday.
Touch.Salesforce.com will be available early next year. Pricing hasn't been determined, Falcione said.
Also Wednesday, Salesforce is expected to discuss improvements to its Chatter collaboration and social networking platform.
Some 100,000 companies are using Chatter "actively" today, according to Falcione. However, he couldn't provide specific numbers on the actual percentage of employees within companies using Chatter regularly.
A set of new capabilities called Chatter Now will include user presence, chat and screen sharing. The technology was gained through Salesforce.com's acquisition of collaboration vendor DimDim.
Chatter users will also be able to invite people outside their companies to collaborate with them by setting up private groups. External users can only view materials related to the Chatter groups they belong to, and are "clearly labeled as someone external," Falcione said.
A third Chatter announcement focuses on integration. Customers will be able to take advantage of a set of REST (representational state transfer) programming interfaces for tying Chatter to other Web services. Salesforce.com has also built a Chatter connector for Microsoft SharePoint, but for the most part, such offerings will be left for partners to build, Falcione said. "[SharePoint] was a big enough opportunity for us," he said.

Throat swab, rapid strep test, rapid antigen test
The rapid strep screen is used to test for bacteria called group A streptococcus. Group A streptococcus bacteria cause illnesses such as strep throat and scarlet fever – a rash that may occur after a case of strep throat. Strep throat and scarlet fever can cause a number of symptoms, particularly a fever and a sore throat. These illnesses are quite contagious and require antibiotics to treat.
Doctors have two ways to test for group A streptococcus. For the rapid strep screen, your doctor or a nurse takes a sample of cells from your tonsils and back of the throat and tests it right in the doctor's office. You can get your results in as little as five minutes. If the rapid strep screen is positive, you have strep throat and no further tests may be needed.
You may need this test if your doctor suspects that you have strep throat. Symptoms of strep throat can include:
Sore throat
Painful or difficult swallowing
Swelling or tenderness of the glands in the neck
Nausea or vomiting
Skin rashStomach ache
HeadacheLack of appetite
Tonsils that are swollen and red
Patches of white on the tongue or throat
You may need this test to confirm you have a bacterial infection instead of a viral infection before a doctor will prescribe antibiotics. You may also need this test if the results of a throat culture, which can provide a more accurate diagnosis, are unavailable for a few days.
If the rapid strep screen is negative, your doctor may do another test called throat culture to make sure that strep is not the cause of your sore throat and other symptoms. This test also requires taking a swab of cells from your tonsils or back of the throat. The sample is sent to a laboratory, where it is grown, or cultured, and tested for strep bacteria. The results are available in about two days. Your results will reveal whether you have group A streptococcus.
Your doctor may also order:
Influenza (flu) test
Mononucleosis (mono spot) test
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Your test results will show whether you have group A streptococcus bacteria in the cells or mucus of your throat. A normal (negative) result will not show any group A streptococcus bacteria. If the test is positive, that means bacteria have been found and you likely have strep throat.
The rapid strep screen requires taking a swab of mucus or cells from the back of your throat. The doctor, nurse, or laboratory technician will gently swipe the back of your throat with a long cotton swab. A second sample may be taken at the same time to be used in a throat culture if the rapid strep screen is negative.
This test poses no known risks.
Nothing is likely to affect the results of your test, as only the presence of group A streptococcus bacteria should give you a positive result.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Arizona Coyotes take OHL winger Brendan Perlini with No. 12 pick in 2014 NHL Draft
Originally published: Jun 27, 2014 - 5:25 pm
With the No. 12 pick Friday, Arizona took left winger Brendan Perlini out of Surrey, England.
An 18-year-old prospect, Perlini has played the last two seasons in the OHL with the Niagara IceDogs.
In 2013-14, Perlini collected 71 total points (34 goals and 37 assists) with the IceDogs.
"I think I'm still filling into my body," Perlini told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Burns and Gambo. "Believe it or not I would like to get to 215 or 220 maybe, while trying to keep my skill and my speed. That would be a pretty lethal combo.
"This summer with going on the ice and training, it's going to be a big summer for me."
The newest Coyote is the third player from his family to be taken in the draft. Back in 2010, the Anaheim Ducks made his brother Brett the 192nd overall pick.
His father Fred was also an esteemed prospect in his day. The Maple Leafs took him in the eighth round of the 1980 draft, though he went on to have an illustrious career overseas.
"I think a guy I would compare my game to it's similar to Evgeni Malkin or Marian Hossa-style player," said Perlini. "I'm a pretty versatile player. I can play center or wing. I can bring a lot of speed and skill to the table."
Perlini is the first ever English-born player to be taken by Arizona in the NHL Draft.

Kari Thul is sitting in her VW Jetta in a long line of idling cars, cutting a cool figure in her big silver-buckled belt and bejeweled shades.
The 28-year-old dental hygienist and mother of three has driven 45 miles from San Bruno to Sonoma on a weeknight to idle possibly for several hours in a staging lane, awaiting her quick shot of adrenaline.
Thul is an unlikely drag racer behind the wheel of her 2007 commuter car and mom-mobile, complete with two empty kiddie car seats in the rear. But that need for speed isn't confined to young men under 25, judging from the hundreds of people who converge on Sonoma Raceway on Wednesday nights to try their hand at drag racing, drifting or karting, compete with screeching tires and smoking exhaust.
They range from teenagers who try to outgun a real uniformed patrol officer in the "Top the Cop" competitions to septuagenarians who never outgrew the thrill of driving fast.
"I like being able to feel, even if it's just for a few seconds, like I'm on top of the world," Thul said, describing that moment when she puts her pedal to the metal and rockets forward in a quarter-mile race to the finish line. "It's a chance to drive fast. You can't do it legally on the streets, but you can do it here."
It's that time of year when people fork over their credit cards to buy the kind of extreme adventures that will get their hearts racing and deliver fear in just the right dose to trigger the pleasure response. Even if you don't have the credit line to go bungee-jumping over the Verzasca Dam in Switzerland like James Bond, there are many opportunities close to home.
It costs only $25 to join the Wednesday Night Drags. Teens pay just $15 to go up against a cop in a patrol cruiser. Drifting on a controlled course in a high-performance car — spinning doughnuts and screeching sideways like a high-speed movie car chase — is $40.
For those who crave altitude, Chris Prevost and his team of pilots will take you up in a World War II biplane. Just floating through the air in one of these vintage, open-cockpit warbirds could be the ride of a lifetime. Cocooned in your helmet and goggles, the rush of the wind and the whir of the engine can feel almost peaceful, said Sheryl Carlucci, who runs the business with her husband out of the Sonoma Valley Airport.

Good quality hammock, but a bit on the small size.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $29
Good quality hammock, but a bit on the small size.
- Quality material
- Lightweight (10oz)
- Smaller than other hammocks
I know it is listed as a discontinued item, but the RestNest has been selling on some of the "bargain bin" stores like Campmor and Sierra Trading for quite some time.
I bought two of these hammocks for my kids, who were getting jealous of my hammock hanging. The price was just too good to pass up. As an 8'x4' hammock this fits them perfectly. I've napped in one of them, but honestly, it felt too short and narrow for my 6'2", 190lb frame.
Here's a pic of a double hang, with the RestNest on top, and my Grand Trunk SkeeterBeeter on bottom. My Funky Forest Tarp is in the snake skins above.
If you have a smaller frame and are looking for an ultralight option in hammock hanging, I would highly recommend this hammock. At only 10oz, you could put my entire shelter system at only 1.5lbs! Because it is a smaller size hammock, it packs down really small, and takes up virtually no room in a pack (fits in my cooking pot).

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced fennel bulb, sausage, and mushrooms; sauté until sausage is brown and cooked through and fennel is almost tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Add garlic and fennel seeds; stir 1 minute. Stir in cream, then 1 cup broth; boil until liquid is reduced and very slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook tortellini in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain tortellini; return to same pot.
Add sausage mixture to tortellini in pot. Toss over medium heat until blended. Add spinach; toss gently until spinach wilts. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese; add more broth by 1/4 cupfuls to moisten if dry. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped fennel fronds, and serve, passing additional cheese.
