Everything changed with the births of our boys in 2008 and 2011. The couples-only vacations were but a distant memory, and the romantic meals involved a babysitter and a lot of planning. Balancing a full-time job and motherhood was exhausting. I wanted a vacation, but mommy-guilt afflicted me. My children missed me when I was working. How could I possibly vacation without them?
My last vacation with my husband was in 2008 during my first pregnancy. On a luxury Alaskan cruise, we hiked a glacier, went sightseeing via helicopter and took thousands of photos of whales and other Alaskan wonders. Over the last seven years, my husband hasn't been interested in travel, claiming it would be too stressful with two little boys.
I, on the other hand, love travel. As a child and teen, I traveled extensively with my parents. My early career was spent earning 100,000+ annual frequent flier miles while working at companies such as Travelocity and Expedia. Since my husband wasn't willing to travel, I convinced my mother to join me and the boys on trips to Disney World and Disney Land as well as several Caribbean cruises. My boys have learned to love travel as much as I do, but I felt sad that their father was missing out on these memories.
I'm a huge Disney fan, so I love visiting the Disney Parks as much as my boys do. Since my husband has never been a theme-park lover, I could understand why he wasn't willing to come with us. But I was baffled when he wasn't interested in going on a family cruise. I've taken dozens of cruises, and I adore the convenience and the all-inclusive pricing. Cruises even have free childcare available! My husband had enjoyed the cruises we took together, so what was stopping him? The answer: cabin size. He didn't want to be "trapped" in a small cabin for a week with two small children. I'll admit that he has a point as there isn't much "privacy" if you are sharing a cabin with your children.
I've been on a quest to find a family vacation destination that appeals to my husband, so I was excited to receive an invitation to attend the Social Media On The Sand Conference at Beaches: Turks and Caicos. I've been curious about Beaches Resorts for years. In 2008, I wrote a post about why I loved Sandals Resorts and wanted to visit Beaches Resorts now that I had children. At the time, I was a new mom and wrote that the "thought of leaving baby at home while I go off on a romantic getaway with my husband gives me a panic attack. I don't think I'll be ready to take a vacation sans baby for many years to come."
Well, it's been many years, and my husband and I haven't taken a single weekend away. While we've both traveled for work, one of us has always been home with the boys. I knew we needed time to reconnect, so I jumped at the opportunity to attend #BeachesMoms. My parents volunteered to watch the boys while we spent three nights at the beautiful Beaches Resort in the Turks and Caicos.
I'll confess that I had an ulterior motive. I was hoping to show my husband how relaxing an all-inclusive vacation at a Beaches Resort could be. I wanted to point out how spacious the rooms were and show him the great activities available in the childcare program (Camp Sesame). My ultimate goal was to convince him to return for a future vacation as a family, which would combine romance and family-time.
Our room, located in the Key West Luxury Village, passed his inspection. The "Key West Grand Luxe Concierge Room" category is located on the third floor of the "Veranda House." With two bathrooms, a separate bedroom for parents and a trundle daybed in the sitting area, the room was spacious enough for a family of four. Our balcony overlooked the grounds of the resort.
Beaches Resorts has four villages (Key West, Caribbean, Italian and French) and 19 restaurants and bars. Since we were traveling without children, we chose the two adults-only restaurants for our dinners: Le Petit Chateau (French food) and Sapodilla's (Caribbean food). At Sapodilla's, our favorites were the Coconut Tiger Prawns and the Conch and King Crab Angallati with Parmesan Cream, Prosciutto and Brown Butter as an appetizer. Le Petit Chateau was my favorite restaurant, and we dined there twice. Everything was so delicious that it's hard to narrow down my recommendations. For entrees, I highly recommend the Lobster Thermidor and the Filet Mignon. My husband enjoyed the Roasted Lamb Loin and the Molten Chocolate Cake.
Since we only stayed for three nights, we didn't have a chance to try all of the restaurants although we certainly tried! Here are my other recommendations:
As we enjoyed all of these delicious meals, my husband and I had a chance to focus exclusively on each other without any distractions from our children. While I missed the children, it was so refreshing to have some time to reconnect as a couple over a relaxing meal and a shared adventure. Beaches offers free water sports. While our short trip didn't give us enough time for snorkeling and diving, we couldn't resist sailing together. (My husband is an experienced sailor, but the helpful staff at Beaches Resorts will give lessons if needed.) Sailing offered stunning views of the 12 mile long white sand beach as well as the turquoise waters. It also offered a thrill as we had to maneuver quickly back to shore when we saw a thunderstorm rolling in.
Thankfully, the storm passed within two hours, and I had time to explore the 45,000 square foot waterpark. I know how much my boys love visiting the waterpark at Sesame Place, so I wanted to see how Beaches compared. The Pirates Island themed aqua-playground has nine slides, with options for adults/big kids as well as toddlers. The surf simulator seemed popular with the tweens and teens as well as several adventurous dads, but I preferred the lazy river. My worries washed away as I floated along the lazy river enjoying the beautiful weather in the Turks and Caicos. For "research purposes," I tried the three largest slides. They were fast-paced without being too scary, and I know my six year old would love them. The photo below shows one of the smaller slides, which would appeal to my preschooler.
Splashing around at the waterpark, walking along the beach at sunset and an unlimited supply of tropical drinks at the swim-up bar helped us remember the early days of our marriage. Since I own a small business, my work is quite demanding. I really want to spend my precious vacation time with my children, but I can't deny the value of a couples-only trip. We'd gone too long without time alone and without the pressure of rushing home from a date night in time to relieve a babysitter.
Before we left, I checked out the childcare options at Beaches. The Kids Camp is included free and is staffed with certified nannies. The activity schedule for my children's age group included sandcastle building, tie-dye t-shirt crafts, face painting, treasure hunts, and visits from Sesame Street characters. While I wouldn't want to leave my children in the camp all day, I like the idea of reviewing the schedule with them to select activities that interest them. It seems like a perfect compromise for parents who want some time alone as well as quality time with their children.
How Much Does a Beaches Resort Vacation Cost Anyhow? Booking Information:
Disclosure: I visited Beaches to attend the Social Media on the Sand Conference, so I received a discounted conference rate as well as complimentary products from many sponsors such as Lands End and Iristocracy.
Since I'm interested in planning a future family vacation, I researched the current rates at Beaches Resort: Turks and Caicos. I arrived at the conference on Thursday October 16 and returned home on Sunday October 19. To get a comparable price, I just researched a Thursday-Sunday stay for October 30-November 3. Beaches is offering a last-minute deal with a 50% discount. The Key West Grand Luxe Concierge Room I stayed in would cost $2,202.90 for three nights for a family of four. With airfare from Philadelphia, our total costs for 3 nights would range from $5000-$6000.
A 7 night stay from October 30-November 6 in the Key West Grand Luxe Concierge Room would cost $7,024 for a family of four. With airfare from Philadelphia, our total cost would range from $9000-$10,000. I met a woman at the pool who visits Beaches every year with her husband and two daughters for a week. This was her 10th trip to Beaches Resorts, and she told me she tries to book during one of the promotions. Her total cost including airfare for four is typically around $10,000 for a week.
How Does the Cost of Beaches Resorts Compare with Cruising?
Out of curiosity, I priced a last-minute deal for a 7-night Caribbean cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL). I found a cruise on the Norwegian Getaway from Miami for October 25-November 1. A Balcony-Level Room would cost $1556 for a family of four. If I opted for two adjoining staterooms, my total cost would be $2316. With airfare, my trip would range from $3500-$4500 depending on whether I booked one or two cabins.
Why Is Beaches More Expensive Than a Cruise? Or Is It?
When making a vacation decision, it's important to compare apples to apples. Beaches Resorts costs more than a cruise, but it also includes more. I'm very familiar with cruising and with NCL (one of my favorite cruiselines), so I can point out some of the differences.
Total Cost: As you can see, it's fairly easy to spend an extra $1500-$2500 (or more) on a cruise for extras like shore excursions, drinks, tips and dining. I estimated a total cost of $2316 for a 7 Day Cruise (2 adults, 2 children) in two adjoining cabins (for an amount of space/privacy comparable to Beaches). Total cost with estimated extras as described above would be around $4000-$5000, not including airfare. My estimate for 7 nights at Beaches Resorts is $7024, not including airfare.
So Is It Worth It to Visit Beaches Resorts?
We had a wonderful experience at Beaches, and it is more relaxing to vacation without worrying about the cost of extras. Would I have gone sailing if I knew it would cost an extra $150-$200? Probably not. Do I factor in the cost of a pina colada on a cruise before ordering one? Of course, I can't help it.
Beaches is truly all-inclusive, which encouraged me to try new things (like that delicious Rosemary cocktail) without worrying about the price. With that said, a visit to a luxury all-inclusive resort like Beaches isn't cheap. If it is within your budget, I would highly recommend a visit.]]>
My oldest son started first grade this week and that means I am out the door early with a car load of kid gear, booster seats and my own work items including laptop, lunch and layered jacket since our air conditioner is either too hot or too cold on any given day.
Despite a busy schedule, we did get to sneak away to the beach last week and it was a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy family time. With two small children, I have to fit a car seat and a booster into my back seat and then my husband and I in the front seats (and we are not short people) when we need to go anywhere. Oh, did I mention beach gear? Oh, the beach gear….
In light of all I need to get done in a day, here of the features I liked about the Toyota Venza I drove:
Overall, I enjoyed the roominess of the car and smooth action of driving it around town. My personal car had several popped tires from potholes this last horrible winter (as in, REALLY, AGAIN?!) and I love the big tires on this car. It has all the features I love in an SUV without actually looking or feeling as BIG as other vehicles I see my friends driving around. Awesome car.
To learn more about the new Venza, head over to the Toyota website to find a dealer near you.

When my Disney Side @Home Celebration host box arrived on my doorstep, I practically screamed like a giddy little girl. And rightly so; the box was packed full of wonderful surprises and Disney goodness!
First out of the box, sheerly due to size, was a beautiful American Tourister suitcase! It's the perfect size, a 20″ Skate Spinner suitcase, for my son to pack his things for our next trip or to use as a family carry on. It handles easily and is super lightweight.
Next came all of the makings for a #DisneySide party. I invited over some moms and their kiddos to help us all get more in touch with our #DisneySide and we had such a blast. We played Disney Bingo and I used the HP Photo cards provided to make the Bingo prizes. The winners received a Starbucks gift card, which I was able to print during the party using the 2 Smiles service. 2 Smiles enables you to purchase and print a gift card from home. You can pick from many top brands including Starbucks, Amazon, AMC Theatres and more. HP has a #DisneySide collection too…which makes it easy to customize Disney-themed invites and cards.
Next came the Minnie Manicures which were a total hit. I bought red, black, white and silver nail polishes (about $3 each at Walmart). The tweens and teens LOVED doing nails. To make the details on the Minnie Ears, purchase a few small paintbrushes in the craft section at Walmart or at a Michaels. You can clean them with nail polish remover. If you want to splurge, you can buy "nail art" pens at a Sally's Beauty Supply or similar store, but I found that the tiny paintbrushes work just as well and are cheaper.
Last, we decorated t-shirts. Hanes provided the t-shirts and fabric markers in the #DisneySide box. The kids loved decorating the shirts and it was such a fun activity. I'm attaching a photo of my favorite– a Mickey/Mamanista shirt. I can't take credit for the shirt though! Grace (http://blackbeltoma.blogspot.com/) made it for me.
My #DisneySide party was a smashing success and we are so pumped up for our next Disney vacation! You can make your own #DisneySide party with tips and ideas from http://www.disneysidecelebrations.com/themes/ .]]>
Set to open sometime this summer, Universal Studios creative team presented quite a few details on the expansion project and had three very special guests on hand to help: James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood).
In just a 30 minute webcast, there were so many details I couldn't get them all down fast enough! So I am including a great break down of the expansion project and details here courtesy of Bay News 9:
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley will give visitors the opportunity to:
o Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, a vibrant shop featuring novelty items, magical jokes, and toys inspired by the books and films that will amaze the mischievous child in everyone
o Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, where guests will find a variety of wizardwear from Hogwarts school uniform ties, scarves and jumpers, to authentic wizard's robes and character costumes
o Magical Menagerie, which features a collection of plush animals, such as owls and Hippogriffs
o Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, where guests can grab wizarding essentials such as telescopes, binoculars, armillary spheres, compasses, magnifying glasses and hourglasses
o Quality Quidditch Supplies, offering a wide assortment of apparel and equipment including Quidditch sweaters, brooms, Golden Snitches, Bludgers, Bludger bats, Quaffles and more
o Scribbulus, featuring authentic writing implements and products such as feather quills, ink and inkwells, bookmarks, journals, parchment paper, seals, stationery sets and postcards
More details about the unique experiences that can be found in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley will be released over time. For more information about the area, visit Universal's website.
Belmar Mayor Matt Doherty led the festivities and was so appreciative of the effort and attention that the Jersey Shore was getting from this event. There is still much more work to be done, so if you're interested in making donation to support the displaced families of Belmar who still need assistance, please visit Belmar Relief.

Some of my best summer memories as a kid were made at Hersheypark. We typically took summer day trips and would leave early in the morning to max out our park time. They had so many rides I wouldn't know where to start! My favorite ride was the swings, but I also loved enjoying Hershey's chocolate and having fun with my family. I was very fortunate to have grown up fairly close to Hershey and the car ride wasn't usually too long.
Now that I have a family of my own, I realize how important family vacations are to us. Taking a time out for the rush of everyday life to just relax, kick back and have fun with one another is great opportunity to bond as a family.
Hersheypark has changed so much from when I was a kid and they have even more to offer now for every taste and budget. They have over 65 rides and attractions, plus the Boardwalk at Hershey water slides to cool off on a hot summer day. If you prefer to "take it all in" they have live shows daily, and ZooAmerica, a year-round 11-acre zoo featuring animals and plants from North America to stroll through.
If you want to go right to the good stuff, adjacent from Hersheypark is Hershey's Chocolate World. They have added a brand new attraction, Hershey's Great Chocolate Factory Mystery – the new, one-of-a-kind 4D interactive experience opening in May. I know my boys would love this!
I have had the opportunity to stay at The Hotel Hershey and partake in some of their legendary chocolate- based treatments at the Chocolate Spa (heavenly, just heavenly). This summer, the hotel is re-launching The Circular Dining Room in The Hotel Hershey, which now offers a new innovative menu, delicious cocktails and desserts in the grandeur of a 1930's style dining room. This would make an excellent couple's weekend getaway!
Summer is also prime-time concert season, but you don't have to travel far to enjoy your favorite bands. Hersheypark has just released their Summer Concert Schedule that caters to many different musical tastes. While I haven't had the opportunity to see a concert there, I have many friends who have and enjoyed themselves immensely.
Hersheypark is an ideal family vacation destination with world-class dining and accommodations for a longer stay. If you live further away from Hershey, PA, I would totally recommend it for an amazing family vacation!
For more information on Hersheypark and all things Hershey, be sure to check out their website: http://www.hersheypa.com/
(Disclosure: My oldest son and I are in Orlando for the Disney Social Media Moms Conference. While I did pay for my conference ticket and travel, the event is subsidized by many sponsors. Opinions are always my own.)
Have you taken the Food List Challenge on Facebook? I've tried 83 of the 100 foods on the list. Given the opportunity, I would likely try all 100. Why? My parents always encouraged me to try new things. As a child and teen, I accompanied them on trips around the world– learning about history, art, language, cultur
e and trying new foods. These family trips inspired a lifelong love of learning and voracious reading habits. But they also made me a more adventurous person, which was definitely a factor in starting my own small business in 2010.
My children are two and five. They may be a bit young for international travel, but they aren't too young to try new things. We're at the Disney Social Media Moms Conference. Yesterday, we attended a dinner event about the Disney TRYit! Challenge, sponsored by Disney's Magic of Healthy Living.
My five year old is not the most adventurous eater, but I persuaded him to try an Apple Spinach Smoothie and a Watermelon Salad with Feta Cheese. He wasn't a fan of the feta cheese, but he did try it. And that's good enough for me.
TRYit! is about more than food. Experiences count. Disney has TRYit! Challenges available online– like Freeze Dance and Scooter Soccer. Mickey Mouse was break-dancing at the party, and my son joined in on the fun. He was certainly dancing like nobody was watching– let's just say the style was "creative." I felt such joy watching him because he was so happy!
We're in Disney World through May 15th, and I plan on encouraging my son to try some new foods. On our "list" is Tusker House Restaurant at Animal Kingdom– a buffet restaurant with typical "kid food" as well as African cuisine. While my five year old will likely eat chicken or a burger, I hope he'll also "try" a few bites of saffron-infused root vegetables, plantains, or tomato cucumber salad with mint yogurt dressing.
How do you encourage your kids to try new things?]]>
The great thing about Disney rides are that many have been included in the parks that are low-impact and easy for all ages – like the timeless "It's A Small World" or the new Ariel ride "Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid." There are certainly plenty of big rides too, like Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain in Animal Kingdom, but those might have to wait a couple more years.
Spring is also a wonderful time to see Epcot's beautiful garden topiaries. My son's favorite, of course, was the Cars car last year which we will be searching out again in Tokyo.
This week, I have been receiving a couple of nice surprises to prepare me for the trip. Below is a box of goodies with several creative themed packages to encourage my children to capture their own stories with props and pictures on Spoonful.com's iTunes Story App.
We also received a vivid green Colora bag from American Tourister as a part of their new Spring line. Oh, la la! We have already started packing, weeding out clothes that have gotten too small for my growing son and making a quick shopping list for what we need to replace. The trip will be here before we know it and we are staying a few days extra to soak in the sunshine and enjoy the parks for a little longer while we are there because Disneyworld is just that awesome!
(Disclosure: I was invited to participate in the Disney Social Media Moms 2013 Conference this year. I received several products to review as mentioned in advance of the trip. All thoughts and opinions are my own.)

Why did you decide to go into the field of engineering?
In high school I really liked math classes so between that and liking to play around on computer, it just seemed like the right choice for me at the time. I didn't know automotive was the field I'd get into right away but once I started my co-op, it really helped me hone in on where I wanted to be.
You worked with the hybrid battery. Tell us what exactly you did there?
I had an internship in the battery lab with cooperative education (co-op) with GM. We did all the testing on hybrid batteries for regular hybrid batteries as well as the Volt, which is the extended range electric car, and we also worked on future developments for programs coming down the pipeline. As an engineer we'll get requests in from development telling us what tests we need to do to verify that the batteries we're receiving are performing as well as we'd expect them to. We're running different tests all the time. You're never really doing the same thing every day, but once your tests are complete then we compile reports.
What was the ratio of men to women while you were studying and now at work?
It was 80- to 85-percent male. Statistically, it was slim, but it wasn't like you're the only girl in the classroom. At work, my manager is female as well, and other than that there's just one other female.
Now that you work at GM, how is your role their different from your co-op work?
I do vehicle validation for the volt. My new role is I'm in charge of validating anything electrical on the vehicle, not just the battery. Originally I was focused on the battery only, now I'm on the vehicle level. I'm in charge of coordinating the physical testing, I'm not the one doing that work.
What are you hoping to accomplish in the future?
Ideally a goal of mine would be to take a managerial approach more so than a technical approach. That's what I would like to do but obviously I have to earn that position. I'd like to continue working with the hybrid, but you can't really predict the future or where you're career is going to go 100 percent.
Your focus is the hybrid car. What are your hopes for that?
I think the hybrid will definitely catch on and that's why I like working on it so much cause it is the future of the vehicle. Right now gas prices in Michigan are around $4 and who knows where they're going to be down the road. If you can charge the Volt for just over a dollar a day, you're saving a huge chunk of money. People will start gravitating towards that when the price of the battery goes down.
What advice do you have for girls interested in entering a male-dominated field like engineering?
I never put to much thought into it being a male-dominated field in school, because if you have the skills and you want to do this type of degree or position, I think of everyone as equal. You just put that aside and don't think too much about. People are people and gender doesn't really play a role in whom you're working with. You go to school and you work with the people you need to work with and make friends with the people you want to make friends with.
Is engineering something more women should consider?

The tension that can arise between a musician's rootless lifestyle and a relationship back home is an oft-discussed dilemma with no one-size-fits-all solution… unless, that is, you're lucky enough to have a significant other as low-maintenance as the girl RaSun addresses on She's the One, a standout cut off his new Alone Again LP. As on the San Francisco native's previous features, producer/ladies' man Don Juan C mans the boards, serving up a smooth but upbeat piano-acoustic guitar instrumental as RaSun describes a woman who doesn't give him grief when he returns from months on the road, but instead makes the most of the time they do have together – yep, sounds like a keeper to me. Nigerian-born, Atlanta-based singer Naira plays the female role, assuring her man, "When you come back home… I will hold you down." RaSun's clearly got a good thing going – will it last? And what's the deal with that ominous album title, Alone Again? To find out, pick up a copy of his freshman set, released on New Year's Day and available now in stores and online.

Maryland Weekly Fishing Report Overview | May 16, 2012
As the seasons roll along our fisheries in Maryland are also constantly changing and as we reach the half way point in May some of our more traditional fisheries are beginning to take shape. Although trophy striped bass will still be caught this month; in most areas of the bay it has become a slow pick for fishermen trolling large parachutes and bucktails. The good news is that today May 16th fishermen can now keep striped bass under 28" in length and venture into the lower portions of most tidal rivers. Fishermen in the Ocean City area are now seeing our migrating Chesapeake Bay post spawn striped bass passing along the beaches and surf fishermen are enjoying some very exciting fishing. This time of the year is perhaps one of the finest times of the year to just venture down to one of the many ponds or lakes that dot the Maryland landscape and enjoy a few hours fishing with kids. It is pretty hard to beat watching a bobber with a worm or minnow dangling under it sit upon the water and the anticipation in a young angler's eye. Of course muddy sneakers and pants as well as tossing sticks or rocks in the water and catching frogs are all part of the experience. So don't miss out even if your young angler only has the patience for an hours worth of fishing; enjoy the rites of spring before the summer season sets in.
Fishermen in the Susquehanna Flats area will begin to be able to keep one striped bass per day that measures 18" to 28" in length starting May 16th. The areas open include the flats the Northeast River and the lower Susquehanna up to a line drawn between the Susquehanna State Park boat ramp and Point of Rocks and Tomes Wharf in Port Deposit. The area is also holding a lot of white perch this week and fishermen at the Fisherman's Park fishing area near the dam have been catching channel and flathead catfish.
Fishing for large trophy sized striped bass continues to be a slow pick for fishermen trolling the channels in hopes finishing out the season with one more large fish. The large striped bass are scattered over a wide area with the lower Potomac offering better chances for the past week. The size drops to 18" today May 16th and the lower sections of most tidal rivers opens to fishing for striped bass. Many fishermen will be including smaller lure presentations in their trolling spreads to put some medium sized fish in the box. More than a few fishermen have been chumming and chunking with good success at traditional edges and it offers a quieter alternative to trolling. Cow-nosed rays are moving into the region and will certainly cause some consternation with those fishermen chumming and undoubtedly a few will be accidentally snagged while trolling. The question of May worm spawning swarms continues to bounce around the docks and although there was some activity on the last full moon; there may well be another spawn on the next full moon in early June. Alex Mahoney is very happy with this 37" striped bass he caught.

Shore based and boat fishermen have been enjoying good white perch fishing in tidal rivers and creeks throughout the Chesapeake Bay region. White perch can be caught around piers, oyster bars and channels on a variety of lures such as jigs and shad darts; often tipped with a piece of bloodworm or by fishing conventional bottom rigs baited with bloodworms or grass shrimp. Fishermen are also starting to catch more croakers this week mostly in deeper waters during the day but shallow at night. The mouth of the Wicomico River near Bushwood is a traditional early season croaker hot spot and fishermen are catching croakers and white perch there this week. Fishermen are reporting that 4lb to 6lb blue catfish are also in the lower Potomac in large numbers and are now part of the bottom fishing scene there.
Speckled trout have been offering some exciting fishing for fishermen in the lower bay region and particularly in the Tangier/Pocomoke Sound area. Their presence began to appear when fishermen were fishing soft crab baits for striped bass back when the trophy season first started. Now fishermen are targeting them with peeler and soft crab baits or casting swim shads for them. The 4" Gulp pearl or white mullet seems to be one of the most popular lures being used; either under a popping cork or jigged along the bottom.
Recreational crabbers are reporting this week very good catches of crabs south of the Choptank River and mostly on the eastern side of the bay. The catches are reported to be just legal sized crabs but heavy and a lot of throwbacks which are eating up baits. North of the Choptank crabbers are catching a couple of dozen legal crabs per outing and above the Bay Bridge things are very quiet. Recreational crabbers in the back bay areas of Ocean City are reporting a lot of sponge crabs and fair crabbing for male crabs in the tidal creeks and a lot of small crabs.
Freshwater fishermen have a lot of fishing options this week and among them are fishing for walleyes in Deep Creek Lake where fishing has been good. Walleyes can be found near grass beds in about 10' of water and drifting a minnow near by is a great way to catch them. Crappie and bluegills are spawning as are largemouth bass in the shallower coves. Recent rains have bolstered water levels in trout waters of the western and central regions so trout fishing will be good this week. Dwayne Remillard holds up a 24" rainbow trout he caught in the north branch of the Potomac recently and entered in the Maryland Fishing Challenge for an award certificate.

Largemouth bass are still spawning in many areas but many of the bass are now being found off the beds and holding near grass. Targeting grass is a major focus for bass fishermen now with stickbaits, soft plastic craws and topwater lures such as frogs, chatterbaits and buzzbaits over the grass. Casting spinnerbaits and crankbaits along the outside edges of grass beds and spatterdock fields is also a good bet; especially on a falling tide in the tidal rivers. Anyone thinking about fishing the tidal Potomac later on this week is forewarned about the FLW and BFL bass tournaments at National Harbor this week; it might be a little crowded out there.
Fishermen continue to catch more and more snakeheads in the tidal Potomac and its tributaries and as everyone knows they are getting larger. Well it seems that a fishermen fishing in the D.C. area may have one large enough to break the world record of 17lbs, 4oz set in 2004 in Japan. Time will tell; but the way these fish are growing it may very well happen sooner than later. Here is a recent picture of James Mason with a 15lb snakehead he caught near Alexandria on a swim shad.

Fishermen are enjoying the peace and quiet of fishing the many lakes and ponds that dot the Maryland landscape for a variety of fish. Largemouth bass is of course at the top of the list but species such as bluegills, crappie, chain pickerel and channel catfish go a long way for entertaining fishermen. A small boat with an electric motor or a canoe is a real plus for accessing fish holding cover but most of the time these out of the way spots are fished from the shoreline. Fishermen at the Ocean City area are enjoying an excellent run of large striped bass along the beaches of Ocean City and Assateague. The fishing started in earnest last week and will only get better as the main body of northerly migrating striped bass pass by the beaches. Water temperatures are around 59-degrees in the surf and fishermen are using clams, sand fleas and cut menhaden baits on bottom rigs with stout tackle. Dogfish and skates continue to be pesky bait stealers and now sandbar and sand tiger sharks have showed up and offering some extra tussle. Michael Thron holds up a whopping 45" striped bass he caught in the Assateague surf.

In and around the Ocean City Inlet fishermen are catching small to medium sized bluefish on Got-Cha lures and striped bass on swim shads and bucktails at night. Fishing for tautog is beginning to slow down a bit inside of the Route 50 Bridge but remains very good at the South Jetty. Sand fleas and pieces of green crab remain favorite baits. There are plenty of flounder inside of the inlet and back bays; wind and water clarity as always will determine how good the fishing will be.
Party boat captains and fishermen will be very happy Saturday May 19th when the sea bass season opens inside of 3-miles. Tautog fishing remains good this week so it will be nice when fishermen can double up on tautog and sea bass. The Feds are still struggling to get their paper work done for opening up the sea bass season outside of 3-miles and it is hoped that sometime between the 19th and the 22nd of May they'll file the proper papers. Offshore fishermen brought in the season's first yellowfin tuna from the west wall of the Baltimore Canyon this week and mako sharks are being caught from the 100-fathom line out to the canyons.

Pat the Cat Baseler, Craig Harlow, and myself fished for the big blue cats on Sunday morning. We anchored up at just the start of the flood tide. It was a little slow at first, but once the tide got going it was non stop action. We had to quit after 2 hours as we filled 2 120 qt coolers with cats ranging from 5 to 40 lbs. Pat made the comment that it was his best fishing trip ever. Make sure you use fresh cut bait as is necessary for the blues.

The recent onslaught of cold weather has almost put the skids on the Mason Dixon panfish bite. However, we did manage some good fish this past week to include some impressive pumpkinseed sunfish and pumpkingill hybrids along with a lot of hen bluegills in the 9 inch category. Best seed was 10.25 inches...a personal best for me. All released.
We floated 1/200th oz Trout Magnet heads tipped with bait about 6 feet below a sensitive 1.5 in Comal weighted float to catch these fish. A few took Gulp! 1 inch minnows. Hoping for warmer weather!

While there was some confusion on his actual departure from the company because he worked some matches after Summerslam 2014, Rob Van Dam has now confirmed that he is done with WWE. The former world heavyweight champion fulfilled his contractual obligations and is going to take a couple of months off. RVD stated that he will then decide if he wants to make another return or not.

Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.

At Summerslam 2014, fans witnessed the beginning of the feud between Nikki Bella and Brie Bella when the former turned on her sister and helped Stephanie McMahon win the match. The belief is that the feud was instigated by the producers of Total Divas. They wanted an intriguing story for the upcoming season of the show.

Rumors are floating around right now that WWE officials were not too pleased with the performance that Alexander Rusev put on at Summerslam 2014 in his flag match against Jack Swagger. His selling of an ankle injury was sub par, and the manner in which he sold it was not very fitting of his character. WWE really wants him in the main event scene, so they're paying much more attention to his matches than usual.
August 21, 2014
There is a split backstage in WWE when it comes to viewing Dean Ambrose as a main event performer. A lot of people in management do not view the former Shield member as someone of that caliber. He also has his supporters, and that group has probably increased in size after his superb performances with Seth Rollins at Summerslam 2014 and Monday Night Raw.
August 21, 2014
There were some talks backstage in WWE of bringing in Rey Mysterio to help do promotions for Summerslam 2014. He lives three hours away in San Diego and is especially popular in southern California. However, that never happened. The shows how bad the relationship is between the two sides, as Mysterio reportedly wants to be free of his contract with the company.
August 21, 2014
When WWE announced that they were moving Summerslam 2015 from Los Angeles to New York, the company did not reveal the actual location of the pay per view. There are rumors floating around now that Vince McMahon may try to do the event at the massive MetLife Stadium that was the host of Wrestlemania 29. It's quite the risky endeavor, so the belief is that WWE will eventually end up choosing the Barclays Center or the IZOD Center instead.
August 21, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that AJ Lee is going to be leaving WWE very soon. Those speculations were further flamed last night when she dropped the Divas Championship to Paige at Summerslam 2014. The root of the rumors stems from a comment that Jim Ross made on his blog. It was just something that the long time commentator was speculating upon.
August 18, 2014
Reports going around state that Rob Van Dam finished up his latest stint with WWE during the kickoff match at Summerslam 2014. His departure from the company had been expected since he only agreed to a short term contract. Some are under the belief that this might be the last stint for RVD since the audience has been a bit lackluster towards him this time around.
August 18, 2014
Over the last couple of years, Summerslam has grown to become a tradition in Los Angeles. Last night, however, WWE announced that the tradition is going to be broken. Summerslam 2015 will be held in the New York area. No official word yet on why Vince McMahon called for the change. The venue has not been announced yet, but rumors are floating around that McMahon wanted something more than the Staples Center.
August 18, 2014
Since he did not fly home to Florida after the live WWE event last night, the belief is that Hulk Hogan will be making an appearance at Summerslam 2014 tonight. There is also a good chance that he will be making an appearance on Monday Night Raw tomorrow as well. WWE sent their private jet to northern California last night, so that the performers did not have to make the five hour drive down to Los Angeles.
August 17, 2014
Rumors are floating around that WWE officials have yet to finalize the rules for the flag match between Alexander Rusev and Jack Swagger at Summerslam 2014. The issue right now is that the creative department wants to make both guys look strong in the match. There is also a belief that they want Swagger to get the victory without taking too much heat away from Rusev.
August 16, 2014
While he may not be on great terms with WWE officials, Mick Foley apparently is still on very good terms with a lot of the performers. A handful of them, including Road Dogg, took the time and made the effort to go watch his comedy show in Ventura. The venue is approximately 90 minutes away from the Staples Center, where Summerslam 2014 will be held.
August 16, 2014
While she is not doing a practice match with Brie Bella before Summerslam 2014, Stephanie McMahon is actually putting in a lot of hours training with Triple H. The couple routinely work out together, so it makes sense for him to put in some ring time with his wife. The match is not expected to last very long, and a surprise ending is still being planned.
August 15, 2014
The speculation right now is that Rob Van Dam will be taking another break from WWE after Summerslam 2014. The former world heavyweight champion is not currently booked for the pay per view, but there are talks that management could squeeze him into a match at the last minute. RVD did not exactly get involved in a lot of stories during his latest tenure, so there are talks that this could be his last run with WWE.
August 13, 2014
There is some confusion within WWE right now in regards to the upcoming flag match between Alexander Rusev and Jack Swagger at Summerslam 2014. Since the heel foreigner utilizes a submission maneuver, there are talks that officials could allow that rule to be added. There are also talks that it could just simply be a thing where the winner gets to wave his flag and have his national anthem played after the match.
August 12, 2014
Since she is being featured in one of the biggest matches at Summerslam 2014 and has not worked as an in ring performer in a very long time, many were expecting Stephanie McMahon to work a practice match before stepping into the ring with Brie Bella. Apparently, that will not be the case. Stephanie is doing private workouts and feels confident that the practice is not needed.
August 10, 2014
Reports are surfacing that WWE will be throwing a last minute fatal four way match together at Summerslam 2014, where Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Curtis Axel and Ryback will all be vying for the tag titles. Management does not view this division to be a priority at this time, even though fan interest has grown.
August 7, 2014
WWE has announced that Dolph Ziggler will be challenging the Miz at Summerslam 2014 for the Intercontinental Championship. While his popularity remains pretty strong, this is not a push for Ziggler. Management simply needed a mid card baby face to put over Miz. A title change is not expected to take place, as the company wants to see how far this Hollywood character can go.
August 5, 2014
While the upcoming match between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella at Summerslam 2014 is being heavily anticipated by fans online, the numbers for that final hour of Monday Night Raw, where the two gals had their confrontation to close out the episode, managed to lose approximately half a million viewers. That has caused some concerns backstage for WWE because the match is viewed as one of the headliners of the pay per view.
August 4, 2014
A lot of eyes stay focused on the developmental program in WWE because that is usually where the next star will come from. The latest person to be viewed as the next one to be elevated to the main roster is Alexa Bliss. The diva has impressed management over the last couple of weeks, and some are even saying that she has moved past Ashley Flair in line. She is already ahead of Bayley and Sasha Banks at the moment.
October 29, 2014
Earlier this month, it was revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25,000 a year. It has now been discovered that the amount is only for the male performers. The divas in WWE NXT, such as Ashley Flair, Bayley and Sasha Banks, are paid $50,000 a year, which is twice as much. The reasoning behind that is because management feels that the girls have more expenses in maintaining their looks.
September 18, 2014
When WWE announced a tournament to crown a new Women's Champion in their developmental program, one of the names brought up as a potential champion was Bayley. Management is very high on her, and the belief was that she would be receiving an opportunity to prove herself in a featured role. That will not be happening now since Bayley was eliminated from the tournament by Sasha Banks this week.
May 2, 2014
One of the ideas being discussed right now is to have Ric Flair managing Ashley Flair in WWE NXT. With Paige being elevated to the main roster, management can now put more of the spotlight on Ashley, Sasha Banks and Bayley. Having the Nature Boy involved would help to increase interest from the audience, as he is still a beloved performer.
April 15, 2014
Since she is now the WWE Divas Champion, Paige will be dropping the WWE NXT Women's Championship soon. The top candidates at the moment are Ashley Flair and Sasha Banks. While some are pushing for management to put Bayley in the spot, the company feels that it would be better for business if she were to chase the title for a couple of months first.
April 13, 2014
WWE generally likes to put everyone to good use at their television and pay per view events. Last night at Wrestlemania 30, during the big entrance for Triple H, WWE NXT divas Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, and Ashley Flair were used as background performers. The trio have been working in developmental for a bit of time now and are waiting for their chance to be called up to the main roster.
April 8, 2014
A picture of developmental diva Sasha Banks performing the 619, a move popularized by Rey Mysterio in WWE. The belief is that she is simply doing it as a tribute, as she certainly would not be allowed to perform the trademark spot on the main roster. Officials are high on Banks, but she is not yet ready to make the jump up from WWE NXT just yet.
March 26, 2014
When WWE announced the arrival of the Slam City cartoon series earlier this week, only guys from the main rosters were included as characters. A fan decided to go the extra step by drawing Sasha Banks, Camacho, Mojo Rawley and CJ Parker as characters for the show. Management has no intentions of including WWE NXT stars as of this moment, though.
March 22, 2014
A video of the match between Paige and Sasha Banks during the latest episode of WWE NXT, where Ashley Flair and Natalya Neidhart both ended up being involved.
March 14, 2014
For a while there, things appeared to be looking up for JoJo Offerman, as she was utilized a bit with the main roster in WWE and was a cast member of Total Divas, a focal point for the company. Now, though, it appears that she is just another developmental diva, standing in line behind the likes of Paige, Ashley Flair and even Sasha Banks.
March 9, 2014
WWE is really hoping that Sasha Banks does well in developmental, as the company would love to bring her up to the main roster soon. Management wants to tout that she is the first cousin of world famous rapper Snoop Dogg. The company has already acknowledged on multiple times that Brodus Clay was a former bodyguard for the rapper.
February 17, 2014
"There are so many Divas who have come and gone who have left their mark in WWE: Ivory, Jazz, Lita, etc. … Ric Flair says, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man," so if I had to choose one, it'd be the Diva who most people would consider the greatest Diva of all time, Trish Stratus. The only reason I'd choose her is because I know in my heart that I can put her down."
January 17, 2014
After spending a couple of years on the independent wrestling circuit, Mercedes Kaestner was finally able to secure herself a developmental contract with WWE, where she will be known as Sasha Banks. The belief is that she will start appearing on television soon since she already has ring experience.

So much to do, so little time
... Don, and arranged their arms around her - so funny!!!
I had to be at school again from 3-6pm, but happily my class was cancelled, so we had dinner at the good halal place here, then got the bus to the airport and said goodbye.
We managed to pack a lot into 48 hours - even with me being at school both days! I enjoy having people to show around, so all visitors are most welcome!
Hope you like the pics.
Back from Japan
... for some of the traditions. Kyoto also has MANY Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines and we visited quite a number of them. Some were incredibly beautiful and serene, spiritual and others we visited with 50,000 other people, sort of like our trip to the pyramids.
We also took a day trip to Hiroshima, which was moving and disturbing, but also uplifting with its message of peace. Like when we visited ...
Yuexiu Park and flight home
Spent the morning exploring Yuexiu Park were the locals were exercising, relaxing, play games, singing etc.
I thought I'd go to the airport via subway. It was so easy and cost only a couple of dollars.
When I boarded the plane I again found someone in my seat. The crew member found that we both had a boarding pass for the same seat. After some time, the couple of moved to the seat in front.
Liuhua Park and walk about
... or moving side to side. Some men were shuffling around, others like we're just taking everything in.
I then went walk about. It was fascinating watch people go about their business. I enjoyed the unusual foods on offer along the way.
I went into a restaurant for dinner, the staff were all excited about having a westerner in the restaurant. I was given tea and the cutlery and pressured to order before I could checkout the pictures in the menu. ...
Broken leg trumps long legs.
... She even remarkably walked to the toilet.
I had an interesting taxi ride with confusion over the destination, fare, being short changed but I got to the hotel.
It so happened the hotel had a floor with a massage centre, I was keen on a massage but was concerned I may fall asleep, I need not have. I have had hard massages before but none like this. I was pummelled and trampled on, it was brutal, but after I felt good, maybe it was because the pummelling had ended.

Page 3 of 8
There, they found three expended bullet shells — Sheriff Dever wouldn't reveal the caliber to the media. An agent from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement identified the dusty footprints of one individual at the scene.
Trackers from several agencies followed the footprints south, toward the Mexico line, where the trail ended.
"There is absolutely no reason this had to happen," Dever concluded at his press conference, "other than the bad intentions of one sick, sorry individual whom we hope to be able to catch up to very quickly."
Dever's comments raised many still-unanswered questions:
Why would anyone connected to the drug trade risk the wrath and intense scrutiny (from both sides of the border) that killing a popular rancher in cold blood would bring?
Why did the killer also shoot Blue? Had the dog come upon an advance scout for the Mexican drug cartels who smuggle in untold amounts of dope through Cochise County every year?
Why did it take so long for authorities to find Rob Krentz's body after his family had called in a missing-persons report?
As for the latter, Dever tells New Times that "Rob was found kind of down in a little arroyo. You wouldn't see him from any of the nearby roads."
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano claimed her agency had "responded immediately to the murder. Immediately following the shooting, Customs and Border Protection [the Border Patrol] deployed additional helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft to the area of the shooting. Border Patrol trackers located the footprint sign of the suspect and tracked him back into Mexico."
Not quite, says Cochise County Sheriff Dever. He says his agency requested, without success, Border Patrol "air assets" hours earlier.
Dever speculates that long-standing radio communications problems between Border Patrol stations in Lordsburg, New Mexico, and Douglas may have caused the delay.
The Border Patrol did respond by air, Dever says, but not until after the state Department of Public Safety had dispatched a Ranger helicopter from Tucson and soon found Rob's body using heat-seeking sensors and other technology.
And the biggest question, especially to politicians and the general public: Was the murderer an illegal alien?
Sheriff Dever told New Times after the shooting that "it makes sense that Rob ran into a guy who was involved in drug trafficking. The tracks tell us that the guy was heading south to Mexico, which suggests what it suggests. Whether he's an illegal or not remains to be seen. But it wouldn't surprise me."
Dever mentioned retaliation as a possible motive, saying that Phil Krentz called the Border Patrol one day before the shooting after spotting a group of what looked like undocumented immigrants on the ranch.
The agents soon arrested eight migrants and found almost 300 pounds of marijuana in the vicinity.
But federal prosecutors never did file drug-smuggling charges in the case, supposedly because they couldn't establish a direct link between the men and the pot.
The sheriff said Rob Krentz, like all border-area ranchers, had been deeply frustrated by the influx of drug smugglers onto his land.
But he noted that Rob, conversant in Spanish, was known to have helped ordinary migrants over the years by providing them with water and food.
Public interest in the Rob Krentz murder case skyrocketed.
Part of it stemmed from the remarkable timing: Senate Bill 1070 — the Arizona Legislature's thumbing its nose at the feds over illegal immigration — was nearing a final vote.
If odds of its controversial passage seemed great before the Krentz murder, it was a given afterward.

And now that 'Los Doyers' is trademarked...
Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Sport
Yesterday I posted on the trademarking of "Los Doyers," the Dodgers nickname resulting from the team's name being mispronounced in Spanish. Now, LA Observed reports that a website that sold "Los Doyers" merchandise prior to the trademark was recently asked to stop selling it. From the post:
Latin Lingo Clothing got a cease-and-desist letter a few weeks ago from Major League Baseball. "We have since removed it from our website but it is still readily available all over downtown L.A.," owner Manny Morales emails.
Westlake unrest dubbed 'LA Machete Riots' by immigration restriction group
Last Friday in a post about the new Robert Rodriguez action flick "Machete," which opened last Friday, I mentioned how a radio talk-show host had warned his fans on video about the movie prompting a race war. This possibility seemed highly unlikely, given that the film comes off more as cheeky mockery of the immigration debate than anything else. But, I wrote, if we awoke over the holiday weekend to looters and torch-wielding mobs, perhaps it would go down in history as the Machete Riots.
Now, a conservative immigration-restriction group in North Carolina is applying that exact term to the recent protests, at times violent, over last weekend's fatal police shooting of a Guatemalan day laborer in Los Angeles' Westlake district.
Here's part of what the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, or ALIPAC, has on its website today under the heading, "Update on the LA Machete Riots:"

Go Doyers!

Festive Doyer fans at a Dodgers vs. Giants game, April 2009
Now for a story that I absolutely freaking love: The trademarking of "Los Doyers" (as in the accented Spanish mispronunciation of "Dodgers") by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team trademarked "Los Doyers," by now a nickname so common that it's mispronounced on purpose, last month. The Dodgers organization has been selling team paraphernalia with the "Los Doyers" logo, including t-shirts and hats.
The blog vinscullyismyhomeboy.com found and posted the trademark information over the weekend, along with my favorite little snippet so far, a parsing-out of the mispronunciation subtleties between Mexicans and Cubans:
"Yesterday I asked my mom to say Dodgers. She said 'Doyers.' I asked my dad to say Dodgers. He said 'Dogers.' I guess Mexicans say 'Doyers' and Cubans say 'Dogers.' Maybe the Europeans pronounce it 'Dojers.' Shoud I trademark it?"
Social Security, bolstered by unauthorized workers
Photo by Bruce Bortin/Flickr (Creative Commons)
It's well known that undocumented immigrants often present false or borrowed identification, including Social Security cards and numbers, in order to find work in the underground economy. But there is a side to this story that is seldom explored: How the Social Security taxes paid by these workers aren't reclaimed as benefits, at least not by those who make the payments. This unused money makes for a substantial amount that helps keep the trust fund afloat.
Perhaps this is why a great piece that appeared in the Washington Post over the weekend keeps making the Twitter re-tweet rounds. In the piece, syndicated columnist Edward Schumacher-Matos shares an interview he did with a top Social Security official as part of a book project, during which he learned that the estimated contributions to the Social Security trust fund from unauthorized workers' wages are much higher than previously thought. He writes:

Today I ran alone outside, which I don't do often. When I do, I like to take advantage of the fact that I don't need extra oxygen to talk, and I push the pace a little. Talking with friends is my #1 favorite thing to do while running, but it does slow me down about a minute a mile. I don't mind at ALL–talking with friends makes a run awesome. The most awesome of all runs. I will ALWAYS choose a run with friends over a solo run if my schedule allows it. But today, Evan had a swim meet this morning when my normal buds ran, so I went alone in the late afternoon.
When I left, I planned to run 6 miles, and shortly into the run, I decided to go for my 10k PR. I've never really raced a 10k. I mean I've run 10k's, at least three of them that I remember. But I don't think I've ever really pushed myself during one. My fastest before today was 59 minutes, and that was just over a year ago. Today, I ran 6.2 miles in 54:38!
It was a nice run. It was 50 degrees. FIFTY! This felt like a heat wave after some runs in the windy teens this week. There was a strong head wind for one of the miles (I think maybe mile 4?), and another mile was mostly uphill (mile 3). But overall, the conditions were ideal and I'm pumped about this P.R. My 59 minute 10k from last year was on a very flat course, too.
However, let's get to the big question. IS this a P.R. since I wasn't in a race? I am torn, and I am leaning towards no. I know I could run even faster in a race, because, well, racing. But I don't have a 10k on the horizon. They just aren't that common around here. It might be 6-8 months before I run one and who knows where I'll be, fitness-wise, then. Can I call this a P.R.?
Let's take a poll:
