About Stone Laboratory http://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/stonelab/

F.T. Stone Laboratory is the nation's oldest freshwater biological field station and the island campus of The Ohio State University. Stone Laboratory, now located on Gibraltar Island in Put-in-Bay harbor, is also the Lake Erie teaching and research laboratory of the Ohio Sea Grant College Program.

We are the shared research facility of the Great Lakes Aquatic Ecosystem Research Consortium, which includes 12 of Ohio's best colleges and universities. Our workshop program draws over 5,000 participants every year. The Laboratory offers around 30 exciting, hands-on science and education courses to college undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and select high school students each summer. Don't miss the opportunity to experience Stone Lab and discover yourself another year!

The original "Lake Laboratory" was founded in 1895 when a second floor was added to the fish hatchery in Sandusky. In subsequent years, we moved to Cedar Point and later to South Bass Island. Julius Stone purchased Gibraltar Island and donated it to Ohio State in 1925; the lab was renamed in honor of his father. Classes were first offered on Gibraltar in 1929.
Stone Laboratory, Mission

Today the mission of Stone Laboratory is to serve The Ohio State University, the Ohio Sea Grant College Program, and the State of Ohio as the premier facility on Lake Erie by:

* Improving the quality of science education through high-quality, hands-on education for students in grades 4 through adults;
* Creating opportunities for student research, training, and internships;
* Initiating special educational opportunities for high school students and teachers;
* Fostering informed decision-making through education, outreach, and training programs for managers and elected officials; and
* Encouraging and supporting research on issues facing Lake Erie, the Great Lakes, and the environment that will provide the knowledge needed for better management decisions.

An Artem is the name of a photosynthetic organism with a large antenna, commonly found in the San Francisco Bay area of California. Artems are rumored to have descended from a rare, albino form of the heterotrophic artichoke, Cynara Negris, commonly known as a "Starvin' Marvin". Artems are generally around 3-5" tall, although much smaller versions have been found.


Mating Habits

Artems are not classified as male or female, but rather, by the charge their antenna has. There are Positive(+) Artems, Negative (-) Artems, Neutrally Charged Artems (0), and Bi-charged Artems (+/-). The wild negatively charged artem is usually more aggresive in pursuing mates, often dipping its antenna in oil and starting wild fires in order to find a mate. However, positively charged Artems are commonly spotted savagely ripping out other competitors' antenna with their own, over mating rights. Artems are easily identified by their long mating calls of "Arooo!" Neutral Artems, the result of either 2 positive parents or 2 negative parents, cannot reproduce unless they have become an Bi-Charged Artem. When mating, Artems often find a hollow tree trunk, empty metal pipe, or any long, cyllindrical, hollow object. Fertilization is caused by Van der Waals forces merging together their antennae and shocking together 2 gametes. In some phenomena, a negatively charged artem may be invited to place his antenna in between the 2 to have the child to be born to it, if the other 2 Artems feel pity for its inability to have offspring. Bi-charged Artems fluctuate between positive and negative charges. Sometimes, when a Bi-Charged Artem as a positive, is mating with a negatively charged Artem, it's charge may change in mid-intercourse and will result in deformed offspring, commonly named Raskins. If 2 Bi-charged Artems decide to mate, there is a rare phenomenon in which both could fluctuate charges at approximately the same time, causing electric forces to surround the 2, causing immense tissue damage to the 2 antennae, and any other artems around. This is usually fatal to the 2 Bi-Charged Artems. The gestation period of Artems is about 11 months, sometimes longer. Artems are typically born as one, with some exceptions.

Bi-Charged Artems

Bi-Charged Artems are the result of several phenomena. One method of producing a Bi-Charged Artem is to apply intense electricity to the antenna of a Neutral artem, found in nature as lightning. For this reason, many neutrally charged artems stand on trees for a hope to be able to reproduce. Another type of Bi-charged Artems result from Siamese Twins of positive and negatively charged artems, and their bodies are assimilated into each other gradually. The latter type of Bi-Charged Artems tend to be unpredictable in their personalities, due to the 2 "thinking" nuclei in them.

Artems in Media

The underground thug-rapper, Day-Wizzle, helped publicize Artems with his song, "Incogartem."

Of the lost lands of Germany, Prussia's history has been well documented, but Galizienland seems to be vanishing with its now-vanishing inhabitants. Josef Massinger was a citizen of Galizien in ?? (this is what I can't find any information on). Specifically he is from Münchental, Galizien, which was once a part of Austria from the 1700's and also a German-speaking part of Poland after World War II. It is today's L'viv (L'vov in Ukranian), Ukraine. Josef Massinger wrote how he left in order to fight and keep “Galizienland” a part of Germany but now lives in foreign places and will not return to the land where the love of his family and the beauty of the valley had nourished him. The original, German poem, titled "Heimweh nach Münchental" follows:

Heimweh nach Münchental by Josef Massinger

Ihr Hügel der Heimat, du grüner Wald wo Nachtigalln singen, so lieblich es schalt wo heimliches Rauschen mein Seel het erfüllt und friedliches Lauschen das Herze gestillt!

Ihr wogenden Felder am Holweg entlang dereinst ich dort lenkte den fröhlichen Gang voll Hoffnung des Glücks in seliger Ruh O Heimat voll Freude, wie lieb warst mir du!

Ihr Wiesen im Tale mit Blumen besät wo oft ich im Schweiße die Schwaden gemäht, und lauschte dem Wachtelfur im Ährenfeld O Schöpfer des Himmels, wie schön war die Welt!

Wie schön warst du Heimat, mein Ziel und mein Glück ich bin nun vertrieben, kann nimmer zurück ich muß nun irren in der Fremde unher

und fand kein Plätzchen der Heimat mehr!

Und nun du, mein Dörfchen in Blumengewand wo leidendes Schicksal mit dir mich verband wo Elternliebe nich hat bewahrt vor Sünde, zum Schutze der deutschen Art laut klingts in der Seele mir immerfort O du mein Münchental, mein Heimatort!

Lasset mich klagen und weinen dazu due Heimat der Väter, wie ferne bist du wie ferne bist du mir, Galizienland wo deutsche Art mich so innig verband zur Sippe in Treue, in echtdeutschem Sinn gab ich alles für dich Deutschland hin!

Das friedliche Dörfchen, die Häuser so weiß aufgebaut war es durch der Väter Fleiß Mein Herz in Wehmut-schier will es vergehn O, O, Heimat! ich werde dich nie wiedersehn!

Galicia_(Central_Europe)#Major_cities_and_towns says that L'vov was called Lemberg in German, not Münchental. Münchental was a smaller town near Lemberg, it seems. There's a map if you click on "Muenchental" on this page. I can't find any references for Josef Massinger as a poet on Google. Why don't you ask at this G-E forum?

Bit Char-G is the world's smallest pocket-size radio-controlled micro car. Originating from Japan by some clever bods at TOMY, the Bit Char-G (pronounced as 'bit charge') is based upon the same technology as a mobile phone vibrator and because of this, Bit Char-G cars have an overall length of 6cm - so small that you can maneuver it on your desk although they work best when they're racing around specially made tracks.

Simply connect the car to the side of the controller, wait 45 seconds while the car charges up and away you go - it really is that simple. The only power the controller requires is two 'AA' batteries (not included). A single charge will run for a good few minutes. When it dies, simply re-charge. The most excellent feature of the Bit Char-G is the fact that it can be easily customized and upgraded. There are four different engines, numerous tires, body shells and gears - all of which are installed within minutes (sometimes seconds). The Official Bit Char-G cars use one of four different frequencies - allowing up to four cars to race together in mini grand prix-style races. There are unofficial copies available at a cheaper price - they aren't as well-built as the official cars, but they are cheap and they use additional frequencies (allowing for up to six cars to race against each other).

Metal dragons are very powerful monsters found at the end of Brimhaven Dungeon. Like any other dragon, they use both melee and breath.

How strong do I have to be to kill one?

There are three main types of metal dragons: bronze dragon(level 133), iron dragon (level 189) and steel dragon (level 246). Bronze dragons aren't that hard to kill but it wouldn't be very smart to try if you aren't a decent level 75-80. Iron dragons and steel dragon are in the same area so if you are only prepared to survive an iron dragon you might find yourself in a bit of trouble. So it is recommended that you are 85-90 or level 70 with over 85 maged before you go hunting these dragons.

What should i bring?

A GOOD WEAPON! DUH! you may try kicking one of these to death if you are feeling you want to die. A good weapon is probably dragon battleaxe. Abyssal whip is normally good but slash attacks aren't very effective. Use Crush.

AN ANTI DRAGON FIRE SHIELD AND POTIONS IF YOU DON"T WANT TO BE KO'd!This is a must.

GOOD FOOD: this is also a must- a good idea is karabwan for steel, lobsters will do for iron and bronze.

Monk robes: gives prayer bonus.

Nathan Himmerich b.October 3rd, 1883 A sex therapist involved in the creation of the of the first dildo. Now is living comfortably in Western Volusia County, Florida. Max Delbrück, Nikolai V. Timofeeff-Ressovsky, Nathan Himmerich and Karl G. Zimmer published results in 1935 suggesting that women you should also be able to get sexual pleasure even without their partners. The size of the dildo he created was made to immitate his penis when erected. The size of the dildo is an inch and a half long and half an inch wide. He and his team of researchers were awarded the noble sex prize two years after the dildo's creation. In 1943, Oswald Theodore Avery discovered that traits proper to the "smooth" form of the Pneumococcus could be transferred to the "rough" form of the same bacteria merely by making the killed "smooth" (S) form available to the live "rough" (R) form. He did this with the aid of the sex therapist Nathan Himmerich. Quite unexpectedly, the living R Pneumococcus bacteria were transformed into a new strain of the S form, and the transferred S characteristics turned out to be heritable. This study helped majorly in the discovery of the structure of the human penis.

Currently Halaster Blackcloak is rumored to use Undermountain as his playground (307 DR - 1370 DR). The lower 3 levels were delved by dwarves. Below that not much is known of Undermountain.

The upper levels house many famous sites such as Skullport, also known as the Port of Shadows. Qilué and the Promenade of Eilistraee, a temple complex North-east of Skullport dedicated to the good aligned followers of Eilistraee. Both of which are on the third level.

He is a redeemed ex-con and millionaire head of Yardley Farms, an egg-processing plant in North Philadelphia. He has been described as a hard-boiled Sicilian businessman (pun intended).

Mammana told the Columbus Dispatch that his own criminal past — convictions including aggravated assault, identity fraud, possession of illegal steroids and auto theft — inspired him to fight crime with the wealth he has gained through his businesses.

"I don't understand why there are so many unsolved crimes," he said. "It seemed like every time I did something wrong, it was solved overnight."

Mammana's harsh talk about criminals and the vast amount of "bounty" money he has offered across the country have attracted national attention.

"I don't put my reward money up for a drug dealer who kills another drug dealer," he said. "To me, that's a public service."

Mammana would not disclose where he lives, discuss his business ventures, or be interviewed at length in April 2004 by request of the Philadelphia Inquier. He has since appared to be some what more open with the Columbus Dispatch.]]
