![]() Snakeheads now swim in many Maryland rivers that drain into the Bay, including on the Eastern Shore. So far, the presence of snakeheads in other Bay tributaries has not wreaked environmental havoc. “We are concerned, besides the usual concerns about all invasive species, that this is the general location where eels are trapped and transferred,” Kaufmann said. The threatened Chesapeake logperch and the American eel, which biologists are trying protect and propagate, have been found near the reservoir’s dam. The Octoraro snakeheads appear to have traveled north on their own and were caught below the Octoraro Reservoir. The fish living there, and in random ponds and lakes in the state, have been introduced by people, Kaufmann said. Until this summer, known Pennsylvania populations of snakeheads have been mostly limited to the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers and small ponds and lakes near Philadelphia. They mostly eat fish, frogs, small minnows, crawfish and eels, but have also been known to bring down ducks and small mammals. ![]() They can also breathe out of water as long as they stay wet, and use their fins to travel short distances on land. Snakeheads are toothy, slimy and huge, weighing up to 20 pounds. But there is concern about the localized effect the Octoraro snakeheads might have on American eels and Chesapeake logperch. Scientists and anglers worried about the potentially widespread impact of their voracious appetite on the ecosystem as they competed with native fish for food.įifteen years later, with snakeheads living in many of the Bay’s creeks and rivers, such fears have generally been put to rest, at least for now. Snakeheads, a fish native to Asia, caused a great deal of concern in the Chesapeake Bay region in 2002, when they first appeared in a suburban Maryland pond. This went on for about three weeks before it started dying down.” We kept getting calls or emails indicating they caught single fish but friends caught multiple fish. “And then we got a message that there were five of them lying on the bank. “One of the first anglers that contacted me said, ‘I caught one, but a friend of mine caught two the other day,’ ” Kaufmann said. According to Michael Kauffmann, the Southeastern Area Fisheries Manager for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, it was soon followed by others. Mabry’s catch was the first snakehead confirmed in the Pennsylvania portion of the Octoraro Creek, a tributary of the Susquehanna River. “They’re fun to catch, but it’s not what I want to see.” He didn’t expect to reel in a 25-inch northern snakehead - a notorious invasive species with a big appetite and the ability to shuffle short distances on land. Pennsylvania angler Mark Mabry knew he had something big on his line while fishing the Lancaster County section of Octoraro Creek this summer.

![]() The placement of these guarantees the Webb telescope will be able to contact at least one station at all times, to remain in constant communication with Earth. The DSN comprises three ground stations, located about 120 longitudinal degrees apart from each other on Earth-one each in Canberra, Australia Madrid, Spain and Goldstone, California. "It got tested at every rate, every setting, and every possible permutation, and it worked just great." "DSN is our workhorse for the life of the mission," said Alan Johns. During this portion of the test, the team successfully exchanged commands, telemetry and ranging data with the telescope, as well as offloaded information from the telescope's data recorders. The 13?hour?long DSN portion of the test, completed June 20, tested communications systems that will be used from the end of Webb's launch phase through the end of the mission. During this portion of the test, the team successfully exchanged commands and telemetry with the telescope using NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) network. The eight?hour?long SN portion of the test, completed May 24, tested all of the communications systems required during Webb's launch phase. The ground segment test consisted of two parts-the Space Network (SN) portion and the Deep Space Network (DSN) portion. "This test puts us one step closer in preparing for the Webb telescope for launch." "This is a great milestone not only for the telescope but for the industry team, who worked seamlessly together from coast to coast to successfully complete the GSEG-1," said Scott Willoughby, Northrop Grumman vice president and program manager for the Webb telescope. The team verified the configuration of the telescope's onboard computers and also received telemetry from the telescope, including science data and health monitoring data. "This was the first time all the different parts worked together at the same time, and this was the first time it was tested against the actual spacecraft flight hardware," explained Alan Johns, ground segment and operations manager for the Webb telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.ĭuring the test, the team sent the same command procedures to the telescope that will be sent during its nearly 1 million mile journey to its orbit at the second Lagrange point, known as L2. Before this test, the flight operations team had only verified communication with the telescope piecemeal-in several smaller tests that were not end-to-end. The test showed successful end-to-end communication between the Webb telescope's spacecraft bus, currently located at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems in Redondo Beach, California, and the telescope's mission operations center at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. GSEG-1, which completed on June 20, tested all of the communications systems required to support the telescope's launch, commissioning and normal operations once it is in orbit. especially if synergies didn't mess with shocking orbs too much when compared to the vanilla version. I would love strength mattering for prismatic bolts. If you pump all your points in Focus you will have the same effect than in Vanilla. ![]() Pretty Lame that it only does dps based off of weapon dps its basically forcing a mage to build strength when i wanted to go focus and vitality Vanilla: Prismatic Bolt scales only with Focus Originally posted by Armin46920:Thats why im so confused because in vanilla the dps was based on focus. Vitality gives you more sustain with a shield.įocus tends to be more powerful than Strength if you deal elemental damage and wear elemental weapons.ĭexterity tends to have diminishing returns Strength, dexterity, focus each give you more damage. Torchlight 2 Synergies mod adds new class, new enemies and a huge amount of end game content By Phil Savage published 28 January 2013 Comments Have you already clicked all of Torchlight 2's. > Your spell should inflict 20% * 150 = 30 damage, but with the 50% it actually deals 45 damage.Ībout dexterity: all spells can crit but the Damage over Time ones So i should put all my stats into focus and vitality in this case? Sorry just still really confused. With numbers, if your weapon deals 100 DPS of Fire damage, and your focus damage bonus is 50% : So if you have a weapon that deals Fire damage, and a spell that says "inflicts 20% DPS as Ice damage", then the Focus acts two times: once to increase your DPS, and once to increase the actual damage of the spell.

Not to mention they changed their chicken tenders from delicious chunky strips to something I can find in a frozen bag at the grocery store. When we got the bag back all our fries were thrown about at the bottom. I’m disappointed that Epic Burger would hire such a terrible manager and if it’s their policy not to refund customers for their mistakes then they have the wrong business motto.
