Prospect Q&A - Eric Hosmer, Royals
Most organizations take a cautious approach with their prized prospects and move them slowly up the minor league ladder while putting them in positions in which they're likely to succeed as they develop. The Royals, on the other hand, recently made 19-year-old first baseman Eric Hosmer the youngest player in the advanced Class A Carolina League in spite of the fact that he hadn't exactly been tearing it up in Class A. Hosmer - the third pick in the '08 draft - is off to a slow start for the Wilmington Blue Rocks, but team officials are confident he'll rise to the challenge and benefit from it in the long run.

Oceanic Gastronomy at Delaware’s Rehoboth Beach by Reed Hellman
Too often, the gastronomic spectrum found at beach resorts is narrow and mostly covered with melted cheese. By contrast, in Delaware’s Rehoboth Beach, foodies find a range of culinary and dining adventures alongside an exciting stretch of Mid Atlantic seacoast. Rehoboth Beach faces the Atlantic Ocean immediately south of Cape Henlopen, a wave battered finger pointing out the junction of Delaware Bay and the ocean. The resort is largely low-rise, high-brow, dog-friendly, culturally yclept, and enjoys a good measure of alternative lifestyles. It’s also earning a positive reputation among people who enjoy making food adventures a part of their vacations.

A Cat's Meow: Saving Exotic Felines in rural California
Rosamond, CA ... Tao and Ran lay side-by-side, watching me watch them. Doc paces back and forth, back and forth, while his brother Cisco looks at him lazily, his eyes starting to close in the warm morning sun. Xeno sticks his head out, curious at what we’re talking about when we walk by his home. It’s another morning at the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound’s Feline Conservation Center (EFBC/FCC)
Gurnee, Illinois - Keeping cool at KeyLime Cove resort by Jacquie Kubin
There are hundreds of great places to stop and spend a day or two and Gurnee, Illinois was recently recognized by TripAdvisors as one of the Top Ten Vacation Destinations for 2009. This is amazing to me as I spent the majority of my summers, through the 1970’s driving straight through the sleepy hamlet on my way to warm, mosquito filled days at the “lake.” Traveling between Chicago and Milwaukee meant a two-day stop in Gurnee, making a impromptu visit to KeyLime Cove, one of the newest entrants into the "waterpark" resort/hotel.
The Port Royale of the North Atlantic by Reed Hellman
At dawn in Louisbourg, the sun is a diffused circle, barely cutting through the fog stealing in from the Atlantic Ocean. Intermittent rains add to the dreary aspect as they spatter across the glassy bay. A few gulls wheel overhead or stalk through the tide-thrown wrack littering the black sand beach. The continent ends here at the outboard tip of Nova Scotia, on easternmost Cape Breton Island. Beyond Louisbourg harbor’s mouth, the North Atlantic rolls away, unimpeded, to Europe.

Domingo's Mexican & Seafood Restaurant, Boron, California by JoAnna Haugen
The chimichangas at Domingo’s Mexican & Seafood Restaurant are heaped with lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. Fajitas sizzle and pop. Generous portions of rice and beans spill over the plates. To say this is not your local Taco Bell is an understatement. But visitors to this small and unsuspecting eatery tucked in the high desert country on a quiet road in Boron, California, are in for a treat that far exceeds the taste of just hot tortilla soup and spicy salsa.
