  2. Jax is quite happy with the local kid
  3. By who? Talk down here was he had a shitty combine and he chose not to throw at his pro day
  4. I'm shocked he even got an invite to New York
  5. Yes, she has nice puppys
  6. It has come back, the crabs and shrimp are there, but Im positive they killed some spots in the deeper Gulf
  7. Check this out, this would piss me off to no end.. Scott and Angela Latham had solar panels installed at their Centreville home in December at a cost of $24,000. Mobile users, tap here for video "We wanted to go green, wanted to help the U.S. economy out and save money on our electric bill," Scott Latham said. Going green and saving money appealed to Bernard Dadds and his wife, Ann, too. Their monthly utility bill was running as high as $400. "There is just two of us living here. I don't know why our bills are so high," Ann Dadds said. The Centreville couple paid $29,000 to install solar panels in January. "They were supposed to generate half our electricity," Scott Latham said. The Dadds and Lathams tried to harness the sun by taking advantage of net metering, a process in which unused power is put back on the grid. It can actually reduce utility bills. "What net metering allows is that if you aren't using all output on your solar panels, you can effectively store it on the grid like it's a battery," said Phillip VanderHeyden, director of the electricity division of the Maryland Public Service Commission. But neither the Dadds nor the Lathams are able to do this. After spending tens of thousands of dollars, Delmarva Power will not let them connect their solar panels to the grid and there's a lot of finger-pointing going on. Delmarva Power claimed its circuits are full and that it stopped accepting grid tie-ins in April 2013 -- more than six months before the Dadds and Lathams purchased their expensive systems. In order to accommodate new hookups, Delmarva said consumers will have to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for upgrades.

  8. Of course, my above statement is with the understanding that the Chessie and Delaware rivers feed the Atlantic
  9. And it stinks to wait til 9-10pm to open your gift
  10. mEHHHH get our two, then stockpile 6..If its that good the 6 is 1/4 of a team at depth..
  11. If this draft is so deep as everyone says it is, then why move at all? We are only 1 or 2 players away from Super Bowl contenders AGAIN, Lets get the 2 we need, and then with the remaining 6 start stockpiling for the future.. If anyone can do that, Oz can
  12. Right off the bat all these researchers have to do is study the effects that the rock fish moratorium, it worked. I fished our Chesapeake Bay in the 70's when the rock would jump in the boat, weekend after weekend my grandfather and I would come home with a cooler full of rockfish, then by the late 70's and early 80's we'd come home skunked. look at it now after the moratorium was placed into effect, the Rock spawning grounds are located in the upper Chesapeake right off Havre de Grace, you could walk across the Bay there are so many rock spawning there.. Florida is now undergoing a moratorium on Red Snapper, it is also working..There are only 2 weekends a year you can possess Red Snapper, you must also fish with a circle hook, in case you catch one(and you will) off season.They have also limited the number of shrimp you can catch on a given night to a 5 lb bucket. Thats 2 coastal cities trying to do their part in preserving our fisheries, of course as long as we still have SCM chemicals, and Dupont polluting the waters.. For the Chesapeake to rebound like it has considering the pollutants that are dumped into it daily is a miracle in itself..Dupont to the north in the Delaware River which hooks up to the Chessie, Peach Bottom and Three Mile Island which use the Susquehanna that dumps into the Chessie, SCM in baltimore, and Calvert Cliffs in the lower Chessie..Hard to believe the Chessie produces any aquatic life at all..
  13. Is that ridiculous DC, We built our house in 2001, and we were given the option of heating with oil or propane, at the time oil was .89 a gallon where as propane was 1.09 a pound. We chose oil, when we sold in 2012 oil was 4.24 a gallon, not sure what it is today, but I dont miss the 650 dollar a month winter electric/oil bills.
  14. Exactly, why even take the risk with Weits, rest his through the weekend and start over on Monday, we still have a 1/2 game lead atop the AL East, its a long season, rest and ice that arm. Let Caleb have the shot defensively Weits is still in the lineup at DH.

  16. My A/c has been on since April
  17. Are they replanting tree-lings? that was Haitis issue, they would go high up cut down trees and wonder why they would suffer massive mud slides when the rains would come. Cut down trees, fine, but you must replant young trees to protect your villages.
  18. Agree, Webby is paid as a shut down corner, and Jimmy is coming due,m thats a lot of money in the d-backfield
  19. He had the MRI Monday, he sees Dr Andrews today. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140506&content_id=74534462&notebook_id=74537728&vkey=notebook_bal&c_id=bal
  20. Its pretty amazing the cut back on your trash going to the landfill when you recycle.
  21. This is the first time in my life that I actually am, I recycle and the Mrs has her own bags from various stores..And if the initial cost of solar was cheaper, I wouldnt mind my hot water heater being solar, and I wouldnt mind solar heating my pool.
  22. Atlantic tropical cyclone (hurricane) activity, as measured by both frequency and the Power Dissipation Index (which combines storm intensity, duration, and frequency) has increased. The increases are substantial since about 1970, and are likely substantial since the 1950s and 60s, in association with warming Atlantic sea surface temperatures. There is less confidence in data prior to about 1950. There have been fluctuations in the number of tropical storms and hurricanes from decade to decade, and data uncertainty is larger in the early part of the record compared to the satellite era beginning in 1965. Even taking these factors into account, it is likely that the annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes in the North Atlantic have increased over the past 100 years, a time in which Atlantic sea surface temperatures also increased. The evidence is less compelling for significant trends beginning in the late 1800s. The existing data for hurricane counts and one adjusted record of tropical storm counts both indicate no significant linear trends beginning from the mid- to late 1800s through 2005. In general, there is increasing uncertainty in the data as one proceeds back in time. There is no evidence for a long-term increase in North American mainland land-falling hurricanes. The hurricane Power Dissipation Index in the eastern Pacific, affecting the Mexican west coast and shipping lanes, has decreased since 1980, but rainfall from near-coastal hurricanes has increased since 1949. It is very likely that the human-induced increase in greenhouse gases has contributed to the increase in sea surface temperatures in the hurricane formation regions. Over the past 50 years there has been a strong statistical connection between tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures and Atlantic hurricane activity as measured by the Power Dissipation Index (which combines storm intensity, duration, and frequency). This evidence suggests a human contribution to recent hurricane activity. However, a confident assessment of human influence on hurricanes will require further studies using models and observations, with emphasis on distinguishing natural from human-induced changes in hurricane activity through their influence on factors such as historical sea surface temperatures, wind shear, and atmospheric vertical stability It is likely that hurricane/typhoon wind speeds and core rainfall rates will increase in response to human-caused warming. Analyses of model simulations suggest that for each 1°C increase in tropical sea surface temperatures, hurricane surface wind speeds will increase by 1 to 8% and core rainfall rates by 6 to 18%. Frequency changes are currently too uncertain for confident projections. The spatial distribution of hurricanes/typhoons will likely change. Storm surge levels are likely to increase due to projected sea level rise, though the degree of projected increase has not been adequately studied. http://www.usgcrp.gov/usgcrp/links/hurricanes.htm
  23. 24 Returned last night!!!!
  24. Considering hurricane season is solely relied upon water temps, then yes
  25. I loved it Breeders Cup Day, they had better coverage then TVG
