  8. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/04/05/maryland-puts-gift-card-bounty-on-fish-from-hell/ Wildlife officials in Maryland have put a bounty on the snakehead, the so-called "fish from hell" that can migrate on land and devastates the eco-systems of lakes, ponds and streams. The state will give out $200 gift cards for Bass Pro Shops as well as other prizes for catching and killing the fish, which is native to Africa and Asia but is believed to have made its way to America through Asian seafood merchants. “We do not want snakeheads in our waters," said Maryland Department of Natural Resources Inland Fisheries Director Don Cosden. "This initiative is a way to remind anglers that it is important to catch and remove this invasive species of fish.” The first time a snakehead was seen in Maryland was when an angler caught an 18-inch specimen in 2002 in Crofton Pond, 20 miles north of Washington, D.C. Since then, the population has grown and they've been caught in dozens of bodies of water, including the Potomac River and tributaries. The fish are hardy enough to survive up to four days on land, and can migrate up to a quarter mile between bodies of water by wriggling on their fins. National Geographic has dubbed the snakehead "fishzilla," and it is also frequently referred to as the "fish from hell." They can grow to more than 2 feet long and have been found in at least seven states. “We don’t expect that anglers will eradicate the snakehead population,” said Joe Love, the state's Department of Natural Resources Tidal Bass program manager. “We do believe this promotion and inspiration of anglers can help control the snakehead population. The information we gain from the Angler’s Log reports are also helpful in assessing the abundance, spread and impact of these feisty fish.” The ravenous appetites that can destroy native populations actually works against the fish when humans go after them. One fisherman told Outdoor Life blogger Gayne C. Young they bite at any type of bait. “These fish clobber any type of moving bait you throw, Rodney Hose said. "When they smash into your lure, be prepared for a fight -- especially if they are around some sort of cover.” To enter the contest, anglers must catch, kill and then post a picture of themselves with a dead snakehead fish caught in Maryland on the DNR’s Angler’s Log webpage. Winners will be drawn on November 30, 2012. Last year, 69 anglers entered the contest, killing 82 of the creatures.

  9. I have no idea what my data usage is on my phone. I was originally grandfathered in on T-Mobile's unlimited, now I'm on a corporate phone.

  11. Should I take that as the final word or maybe get a second opinion?
  12. I took it in and the tech road it around for a bit. He said it is just the pad resettling.
  13. I think I am going with the Tourmaster Overpant. Riders Discount hooked me up.
  14. I know a good local band if you are looking. I have their cd I can let you listen to if you are interested.
  15. and left it there for another waitress to find I loved how confused she was when you handed it to her a second time.
  16. Well next time we will have to work on both of those things... The drunk and knowing people better... not the waitress
  17. Plus it was raining yesterday and this morning. That makes OR people stir crazy.
  18. That was the plan, until I was at Pony yesterday picking up some other stuff and got trapped in that storm. I was stuck there anyway and couldn't ride on a bald tire so I left it there for them to do and had a buddy take me back to work.
  19. Thanks Hoblick, I figure you probably know what you are talking about in that area
  20. I looked it over thoroughly multiple times and checked what I could. I don't see anything rubbing, loose, or out of place.
  21. Hey All, I got a new front tire put on the YZF yesterday at Iron Pony. Last night and today I have noticed it making a whirring noise that I can hear while riding. I am pretty positive it isn't the bike as I can hear it even when I pull the clutch in. Is this something that comes with a new tire or do I need to take it back and have them check it out?
  22. Woot! I'm a supporter now! Paypal didn't want to work at first, but I think it went through!
