Last fall I received a call from my half brother - we talk sporadically but we've always had a good relationship. During our conversation he asked if I'd heard from our father (a question we've been asking each other for 30 years) and my answer was the same as always, "no". When we'd finished speaking I decided I would look my father up - it took me all of $14.95 and 8 minutes before I had him on the phone. I called him up without thinking thru what I was actually doing. I was just as shocked to find him as he was at being found. LOL. After the initial shock our conversation was awkward and tentative. We exchanged numbers and began calling one another.
Here is a little background information:
I contacted my father last fall after about 30 years on a whim. Well it was the best spontaneous thing I've ever done. After months of talking on the phone we made plans to see one another. He's flown here twice in the last year to visit with me, my brother and our families and our reunion has been good emotionally for both all of us. He's apologized and acknowledged and took total responsibility for abandoning us and we've been able to forgive him and move forward. He and I now talk on the phone daily (from his secret cell phone-it's secret because Nancy hid or broke the previous phones) and we email one another frequently. My brother, my father and I are all ecstatic that after all these years we have reconnected and getting to know one another. Here's the problem - my father's wife, Nancy of 40 years is having all kinds of fits and doesn't want him to have ANYTHING to do with me - his biological daughter. She erases my voice mails, intercepts cards from my children to their grandfather, turns my photos down, has violent fits after I talk to my father on the home phone (she doesn't know about the cell phone). I sent my father a guided biography journal for father's day to fill out for me. He spent months filling it out with all types of historical information/stuff and she took it and threw it away. Basically she's making it very difficult for my father with all this bickering about me. My father is hurt and angry because he says this should be the best time in his life - reconnecting with his children. Basically she doesn't want me to exist. They are both in their 70's and my father is seriously contemplating divorcing her as he doesn't want to live the remaining days of his life fighting with her and he refuses to give his kids up again. She is responding to our reunion as if I am "another woman" instead of a daughter that simply wants to have a relationship with her father. It's the strangest thing I've ever heard of. I've not asked for anything other than my father's time - so I don't know why she's tripping. Oh lest I forget - her daughter, Megan is very ill and bed-ridden and living with Nancy & my Dad. Dad has taken care of Megan for 47 years as she has severe mental health issues. He is furious that after all he's done for her daughter, Megan that she would behave so cruelly and selfishly because he simply wants to have a relationship with his own children. This has been going on for over a year now with no signs of progress. My dad seems to be getting more and more impatient and frustrated. This should be a joyous time for all of us - but it's like a sick soap opera. I've reached out to Nancy twice and she is not at all interested in making amends with me.Please send prayers/thoughts/good vibes our way. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm so sorry for what you're going through Neitza -- But to me, it sounds like Megan's mental health issues may have been inherited... I can see how Nancy would have hated you at 16 if she blamed you for breaking up her marriage. And while it's not fair to blame a child, I can see how she might do it anyway. Teenagers can be very difficult. But it's been 30 years! Do you have any kind of relationship with Megan? Sounds far-fetched, I know, but I doubt your father will be able to get through to Nancy... |

I will be sending thoughts of strength to your father and patience to you. I think I will also send you the SF Forum lamp, which we like to send to our members to smack those who deserve it upside their heads. It's got NANCY written all over it. Keep us posted . . . |
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and respond. I've really not had anywhere to vent about this nonsense. It does seem that Megan's issues are genetic. It's really a sad state. I can't see how anyone would be so callous. No this is an example of a complete and utter "Step MONSTER". I'm a step mother myself and cannot fathom the way this 72 year old woman is behaving. |

Neitza: Don't let Nancy do this. Tell her and your Dad everything you feel NOW before he gets too old or too sick and it's TOO LATE. Best of luck, you'll need it. Hang in there and be strong. |
Hey Neitza! I'm not sure what you could do, other than try to keep Nancy out of any communications with your Dad. Don't mention her, don't ask for information. It's your Dads problem. If he does decide to divorce her, thats his choice. Maybe you can tell him that you just want the relationship with him and go from there. Tell him that you can't go live a "soap opera" and do not want drama, just want the relationship with him. Good luck. |
Hi Nivea!! How are you doing? Did you ever find a forum for us? LOL As you can see - the drama continues. Yes it's his problem - not mine. |
I'm ok, just really busy with work and my own drama :) I am still looking for material for a more comprehensive and permanent website. It's a lot more difficult than I thought, there are hardly any resources for an adult stepchild. But you already know that! But anyway, I'm sorry that this is still happening. |
I agree with nivea, this is really your dad's problem not yours. And if you start to feel bad for him, I would maybe also point out that this is the woman he chose to spend his life with, and it sounds like this is who she's always been. He chose, many years ago, to leave his family and marry a woman who didn't want him to have a relationship with his children. The fact that he's changed and grown and is now willing and able to have a healthy relationship with you is great, but the fact that his wife is not supportive is the result of his own past choices. It's his problem to deal with, not yours. I know it's probably not possible to completely avoid the drama while still having a relationship with him, but I'm just saying that this is what he chose for himself. It's entirely up to him to deal with the repercussions, and in no way your responsibility. Good luck to you. |
Of course it is not her responsiblity, but she try to maintain contact. I would also be concerned for a parent as he/she ages. If the time comes when he is being taken advantage of, I would also contact the County Dept of Aging to see if they can help. |
Didn't mean she shouldn't maintain contact with dad, just that she shouldn't feel any obligation to deal with Nancy or make further attempts to make nice if she doesn't want to. Dad, Nancy is your wife, you deal with her as you see fit. Repeat as necessary. |

Its hard to maintain a relationship with her dad if his wife is breathing fire down his back and face after each contact! Nancy sounds threatened to me. i'm sorry to say this but maybe she feels that you want something after 30 years of no contact and that something is inheritance. I know its an ugly thing to say. I went through something similar before all of you jump down my throat! I had a heated arguement and fall out with my dad as well and partly due to my stepmom. I didn't see or hear from my father for 10 years. My husband was the one who encouraged me to recontact him and i got the same cold shoulder from my stepmom at first. BUt after a few months of talking and breaking some ice my relationship wtih both ofthem is quite good. i noticed she calmed down after she realized i was married and had a child of my own. i wasn't going after his money...infact, the only real reason for the contact was not for me but for my son. I still feel a sense of hesitation from her , as if she doesn't trust my intentions but that is her sense of insecurity she has to deal with ...not mine. I say keep calling. keep in touch and its up to your dad to reassure her. The violent part gets me worried though...what do you mean by violent? screaming...hitting??? if its violent you have to call an agency for the elderly for abuse..... If nancy hates you , there is nothing you can do about that. Do you live far apart? have you gone to visit or ask him over for his grandkids? Nancy has no business stoppping him from seeing his grandkids...i'm really thinking because her daughter has health issues she feels threatened that any care for her daughter will go out the window for you and your kids. Your father has to put his foot down with his wife. And only he can do that..not you. |

Now just wait a minute there neitza. It is not your stepmother who needs to make amends to you, it is your father. 30 years is a heckovalotta time. What kind of "whim" was it you had? LOL. Looks very opportunistic to me. And who, pray tell is the one who is informing you of all the things this horrible woman is apparently doing? Daddy dearest? Do you think it even remotely appropriate for your father to be discussing his marital situation with you? He is a wimp of the sorriest kind. IF I were "Nancy" I would say goodbye to his ugly arse. I would divorce any fecker who tried to make me to blame for his sorry arse weak actions. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFT. |
colleen777 I never stated that Nancy needs to make amends with me or do anything for me. Yes 30 years is a very long time - a long time to carry anger around with me & forgiving my father is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I'm not sure what you mean by "whim" you are referring to? As far as opportunistic - I'm not sure what you mean. I don't need anything from him & have told him so. This is purely about reconnecting with my father & learning about him. As far as our discussions go - the only time we discuss Nancy is when she has done things in an attempt to sabotage our communication. If she would quit interfering we would have no reason to ever discuss her. She is the person running interference not me. Believe me I get no joy out of knowing what an ignorant twit he chose to marry. |

text: A judge has ordered the Floyd County Auditor to immediately pay about 140-thousand dollars in unresolved legal bills for the defense of a former Indiana state trooper acquitted of charges he killed his wife and two young children. Special Judge Jon Dartt on Wednesday ordered the auditor to pay the amount to settle most of disputed claims presented by attorneys who represented David Camm during his third murder trial last fall. Dartt says county officials should have communicated better with Camm's attorneys so Wednesday's hearing could have been avoided. A central Indiana jury acquitted Camm in October in the 2000 murder deaths of his wife, Kim, and their two children, Brad and Jill.

The history of Groundhog Day runs rich in one concept: Fellowship. The origin of the tradition is rooted in a group of men spending a day together on a hunt, and in many ways, the Groundhog Picnic has always been a similar event: Rooted in fellowship and a stag event.
Similar to any tradition, though, evaluation and change are always a good thing, and change is coming to this year's Phil Phest, which will take place Saturday, Sept. 8 from 1 to 9 p.m. at Gobblers Knob.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö The coal industry has had its ups and downs over the years, but here in the Punxsutawney area, at one time coal was king.
The history of coal industry in Punxsutawney and western Pennsylvania was the subject of a video presentation followed by a discussion at the Lattimer House hosted Wednesday by the Punxsutawney Area Historical and Genealogical Society.
Shirley Sharpe, Historical Society member, said coal mines originally were like the gold mines out west, where the owner would receive a deed, and the ground and the mineral rites would belong to him.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö It must be August when you see back-to-school commercials on television and the 73rd Saints Cosmas & Damian (SS.C.D.) Lawn Festival is ready to begin. The festival begins Friday and runs through Sunday with the proceeds going to the SS.C.D. Catholic School.
"This is my 19th year as the festival chairman; I succeeded Tom and Joanne Uberti after having been their assistant for several years," said Frank Hetrick, festival chairperson.
Hetrick said both of his children, Ryan and Shawn, attended school at SS.C.D. Elementary School and now live in Los Angeles, Calif.
BROCKWAY ŌĆö Have you ever wondered if you are descended from someone famous? Do you ever wonder if your great-great grandparents did something significant ŌĆö fought in a war, served in the political system, immigrated to America with nothing but the clothes on their backs or started their own business?
If you want to find out, you may have to travel only as far as your local library. The Mengle Memorial Library in Brockway presented a genealogies program last Tuesday.
PITTSBURGH ŌĆö Many Little Leaguers and other baseball players in western Pa. have had the dream to one day pitch in the Major Leagues at PNC Park.
Lesa Walker, owner of Walker's Auto Parts, didn't get to play a game at the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates; however, she was the winner of a contest that allowed her to throw out the first pitch of a game July 23 between the Pirates and Chicago Cubs as the winner of a promotion with Uni-Select ŌĆö an auto parts warehouse with which she deals.
The Eagle Riders of Punxsutawney raised $2,000 on its annual motorcycle ride that was held recently, along with $1,000 donated by the FOE Eagles No. 1231, for Special Olympics. Jim Burton, WJAC TV meteorologist, member of the Special Olympics board of directors and a member of the Eagles Riders in Johnstown, said he was grateful for the money that was raised, which is used year round and not just during the Special Olympics games.
Burton said it is more than just providing athletics and exercise for special needs people; it is also used for medical screenings.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Thanks to the quick thinking of a passerby and a quick response from the Punxsutawney Fire Department, a garage fire on Rockland Avenue failed to spread to the owners' nearby house.
Central, Elk Run and Lindsey fire companies responded to a working garage fire at 1:56 p.m. Monday at 401 Rockland Ave. The property is owned by Jim and Janice Blose.
There were smoke and flames seen inside the garage when firefighters arrived on scene, said Bryan Smith, Punxsutawney Fire Department chief.
OLIVER TOWNSHIP ŌĆö If you have an organization that relies on your small games of chance license to raise funds, then be prepared for some major changes that occurred as the result of Act 2 of 2012 ŌĆö changes that were revealed in a presentation last Wednesday by Pennsylvania Liquor Control Enforcement at the Oliver Township Firehall.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Stipends for faculty members who are involved with special student projects and the amount they should be paid were discussed at a recent Punxsutawney Area School Board meeting.
Punxsutawney Superintendent Dr. Keith Wolfe said following the meeting that the stipend, which is a fixed sum paid periodically for services or to defray expenses, came about years ago when there was a play that was put on at Punxsutawney Area High School (PAHS), and then for multiple years it wasnŌĆÖt put on.

Most of the lighthouses that once kept watch over the Texas Gulf Coast have vanished, victims of time and the modern world. Yet a few romantic relics remain.
Nearly two centuries after their forebears protected colonists from Indian raids, the Texas Rangers are alive and well and wrestling with the realities of the twenty-first century. In their own words, the iconic crime fighters explain how their world has changed—and what it takes to battle the latest generation of bad guys.
For decades, the state's big urban newspapers helped bind together the inhabitants of our major cities. Now those papers are threatened by a rapidly evolving (some might say collapsing) business model. Is there hope for daily journalism in Texas?
The city held a special place in Lyndon Baines Johnson's heart, and a number of the places significant in his life there are still around.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history as the first humans to set foot on the surface of the moon. Forty years later, the researchers, astronauts, engineers, scientists, and NASA officials who made the voyage possible remember the day the Eagle landed.
Who deserves credit for Lyndon Johnson's newly burnished reputation? Harry Middleton, the director of the LBJ presidential library, who made hours and hours of White House audiotapes public—and in doing so, remade history.
For seven days Rick McLaren and his armed cohorts were holed up in their Republic of Texas "embassy" while reporters dug for stories, lawmen kept watch, and the residents of nearby Fort Davis wished they'd all go away.
In an exclusive excerpt from his new book, Empire of the Summer Moon, special correspondent S. C. Gwynne re-creates in thrilling detail the bloody 1871 battle that marked the beginning of the end for the most fearsome tribe to ever ride the plains and its mysterious, magnificent chief, Quanah Parker.
I was never certain how to explain the importance of the state to my three daughters. Now that I have two grandsons—named Mason and Travis, no less—I've realized something that I should have known all along.
When the local vernacular dies, what goes with it?
They were the classic Texas Indians—fierce, majestic, and free. Today's Comanches find their lives defined by legends and bitter truths.
A history of the Texas Rangers.

I'm sure this is a topic that's been addressed many times by this forum, but I need help with my son. He will be 13 in less than two weeks, and for the last three years his grades in school have been plummeting. They were so bad this year that he's required to attend summer school to address the deficiency. His mother and I divorced when he was 7, and he lives with us both equally. She lives in the same city as I, so there is no great disruption to his routine at this point. I just wanted to give a little background.
The boy, as most do, loves video games, and I've tried taking them away to no avail. I will admit that I have a hard time being consistent with his punishement, though. He whines, mopes, and gripes his head off until he gets what he wants, and I or his mother almost always relent. To be fair, he is a good kid. He's respectful and he is very kind hearted. But he's also incredibly strong willed and loves to debate everything. (the latter being a trait he comes by honestly) He doesn't care about school.
I gave up thinking punishment or chores will work. They don't. They're impotent punishments if they don't result in him actually caring about and valuing education. I barely graduated from high school, and his mother dropped out. For me, it was a matter of lacking a work ethic, and not intelligence. He is the same. He does incredibly well on standardized tests, because he is very bright, but he's also very lazy. Video games are all he cares about. I have to stay on top of him to get him to do the smallest things. If I'm not putting my metaphorical foot in his posterior, he has ZERO motivation.
I can only assume there are some parents here who are or have been in my boat. Were you able to right the ship, such as it were, and help turn your child around? I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.
I wish I had some great advice for you. My oldest son is almost 11. There are many parts of your post where I feel like you are talking about him! He's very smart, big into sports, likes video games but would pick sports over that but when it comes to school work is lazy! He does great on standardized tests yet homework is a constant battle. We have yet to find a solution. He is also a very respectful, well mannered sweet child. It's just this lack of worth ethic in his schoolwork that we struggle with. As I said, I wish I had some advice for you but I do look forward to the replies of others.
Well...it's nice to know I'm not alone on that boat. I love my son so much, but the last thing I want to do is watch from the sidelines as he makes the same mistakes I made at his age.
I dread when my kids get older and we have to deal with this as I was NOT a good student and was a bit of a rebellious child. I sincerely hope my children take after their father in that respect....crossing my fingers!
I know where I live there are lots of parents who take the route of "alternative" school for kids that don't seem to be thriving in a normal school setting. There are a few actual academy's you can get your kid into, home school, or the new craze- online or virtual school. Perhaps something like that would suit your son better?
And the video games.....ugh, aren't they they worst? My newphew is 11 and was ALWAYS on his NintendoDS from a pretty early age. And now he has his own phone, (SMH) I am pretty sure they put him on some sort or reward/chore system where he has to do X items, complete his homework, and read for 30 minutes every day before he can play any video games or have his phone. I am sure they have days where they struggle and he may not do any chores or get his games, but he has graduated from elementary school and will go to middle school next year. I know at one point they were worried he would be held back, so that's something to celebrate right?

ModChristine is right. Oftentimes when we see this in children - especiall those who are particularly bright - it has to do with underlying difficulties with organization and planning skills, especially when it comes to managing and following through with less structured school assignments. In my own work, I see many children who have even tested as gifted, yet are experiencing these difficulties. After I worked with them on helping get these "executive functions" on track, they were then able to realize their full potential academically.
After a few years of what appeared to be an obsession with our now 13-year-old sons handheld gaming systems we wound up selling them. We put the money we earned into his savings account. Our actions may seem harsh but we found ourselves at our breaking point and simply needed to have them gone.
Instead of gaming, he now reads, plays outside, or watches his favorite shows on t.v.- Myth Busters and Brain Games.
I couldn't be happier.

Tiger Woods Issues Best. Wishy-Washy Confession. Ever.
It looks like Tiger Woods has finally come clean. Sorta.
The golf legend—who's been plagued by rumors of infidelity for the past week—penned a post for his official Web site this morning titled "Tiger comments on current events," and if you think it contained Woods' deep thoughts on the proposed troop surge in Afghanistan, sorry—no cookie for you.
The missive begins,
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone."
After denying that his wife, model Elin Nordegren, slapped him around prior to his car accident in the early-morning hours last Friday, Woods goes on to express his deep regret—primarily, for the fact that he's apparently been publicly outed as a philanderer:
"But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions."
Claiming to be principled and virtuous while admitting—kind-of, almost—that you've been sleeping around on your wife? That's gold, right there.
Cheaters, take note—this is how it's done. No wonder Tiger earns the big bucks.

Hi All,
I have a request to make a snickers cake decorated like the Captain America shield (see pic) for a birthday party next weekend. I found a recipe (listed below) for a snickers cake that consists of chocolate cake; nougat filling; frosted in caramel buttercream and then covered with milk chocolate ganache. My question is - can I cover this cake with an additional layer of fondant? Has anyone ever used BOTH buttercream and ganache underneath fondant? My fear is the buttercream (50/50 butter and cream cheese) will breakdown and seep through and/or soften the ganache which will ruin the fondant. I think I will substitute HR shortening for the cream cheese to help prevent issues with moisture (leakage or softening). For those of you who have a lot of experience covering cakes in fondant do you think this cake/filling can hold up from the weight of buttercream/ganache/fondant. I want to adapt this recipe to create a three-layer 10" cake about 4" tall. I plan on assembling and frosting the cake well in advance so it can chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours. I would then apply the ganache shell and let that setup at room temperature. (Assuming it's okay to cover a well-chilled and frosted cake with ganache?) By the time I cover it all with fondant the cake should be cool but no longer chilled throughout. It is hot and humid here so I will use a cardboard box to absorb moisture once the cake is complete and being refrigerated. I'd be too afraid to let this cake sit out at room temperature.
Let me know what you think. Thank you!

Osmussaar (Swedish: Odensholm) is an Estonian island situated in the mouth of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, 7.5 km off the Estonian mainland. Administratively the island is part of Noarootsi Parish in Lääne County. Its area is 4.8 km2 (1,200 acres).
Before the Soviet Union occupied Estonia during World War II, around 130 people, mainly Estonian Swedes, lived on the island. The continuous settlement of Swedes on Osmussaar had dated back for centuries. Currently Osmussaar has only two permanent inhabitants[1] and the island is a nature reserve.
The island's Swedish name Odensholm (or Odinsholm) derives from the Vikings' chief god, Odin, who, according to a legend, is buried on the island.[2] The origin of the Estonian name Osmussaar is not clear.
The continuous settlement of Estonian Swedes on Osmussaar, which lasted until World War II, goes back at least to the 14th century, though little is known of the island's history before the 18th century.[3] The exact time of colonisation is also unknown and the island was possibly inhabited already in the Viking age.[2] The island's population varied considerably with time, for example the plague epidemic of 1710 left according to popular stories only a few people alive. In the 20th century the island's population continued to rise and was the highest at the beginning of the 1930s. During the Estonian census of 1934 131 people lived on Osmussaar, all of them Swedes except for the lighthouse keeper and his family.[4]
In 1765 the first lighthouse was built on the northern coast of Osmussaar. In 1850 it was replaced with a new one, which was demolished in 1941 by the retreating Soviet garrison. The current lighthouse was completed in 1954.
In 1914, during World War I, the German light cruiser Magdeburg ran aground and sank near the northern tip of Osmussaar.
All inhabitants of Osmussaar were forced to leave the island during World War II. On 12 June 1940 the islanders were evacuated to Vormsi as the island was set aside as a Soviet military base.[3] The next year Osmussaar was the last foothold in Estonia that was given up by the Red Army to the advancing German army. In 1942, during the Occupation of Estonia by Nazi Germany, the islanders could return to their homes, but the approaching Red Army forced them soon to leave permanently. The last 46 people left for Sweden in February 1944.[3]
After Moscow intermediate peace treaty between Finland and the Soviet Union starting 19 September 1944, according to the treaty, article 17, Finland was obliged to hand all commercial vessels for the use of the Allies. In late September, 1944, the Soviet Union ordered 50 galeas and 50 motor boats to be delivered with Finnish crews to Osmussaar on 2 October 1944. This Finnish navy unit on the Soviet service was called detachment Arho after its commander, Olavi Arho. The chief of this galeage navy was lieutenant commander Paul Hongisto. The galeas and motor boats were taken to the state service involuntarily, but the crews were offered voluntarily pay 250 Finnish marks per day in service. From 2 to 8 October, 50 galeas towed one motor boat to Estonia with food supplies for the crews for ten days. Detachment Arho served the Soviet military logistics on Hiiumaa and Saaremaa establishing connections to Tallinn. Every galeas had a captain, chief machine operator and two other crew members. The motor boats had two member crew. In Estonia all the military badges were removed from uniforms and the detachment acted like a civilian one. Also the marks of the Finnish nationality like the flags were removed.[5]
From Osmussaar many vessels sailed to Rohuküla of Haapsalu to support the Moonsund Landing Operation on the occupied Hiiumaa and Saaremaa islands. On 4 October the Finnish galeas shipped Soviet soldiers, horses and cannons to Heltermaa of Hiiumaa. Every galeas shipped about one Soviet infantry company. The same day later, the Finnish vessels were ordered to Saarenmaa proper, where the Germans had retreated from Muhu. On 5 October 1944, two Soviet detachments and two brigades were shipped to Taaliku and Triigi.[6]
The last galeases and motor boats came back to Finland on 7 November 1945. Nine of the fifty galeases were lost at sea due to rough water; additionally, seven were destroyed during the war. In total, sixteen galeases were destroyed or lost. Also one galeas more, Greta I, had disappeared either on 4 or 5 October on its way to Osmussaar. On 16 October the German submarine, U-481, sank the galeases Endla, Dan and Maria with its gun fire and ramming them. On 25 October U-958 sank the galeas Linnea with a torpedo. Eight Finnish soldiers were killed in these operations with the galeases. The other German attacks were not successful. Of all the 50 motorboats were lost 22, but without the loss of the human lives. The vessels of the detachment Arho were returned to Finland to Hanko and 2 November 1944, the headquarters of the Finnish navy ordered the liquidation of the unit. The crews were released from service and the vessels were returned to their civilian owners.[7]
Some navy activities were undertaken on the waters near Osmussaar as late as 1945. One German submarine, U-745[8] was destroyed by a sea mine, 4 February 1945 and later U-676[8] for the same reason, 19 February 1945.[9]
During the Soviet occupation the island was used by the Soviet Navy. Originally there were plans to house on the island a unit consisting of up to 1200 men, but the large unit was probably disbanded already in 1947 and later the island was home to a small navy unit consisting of a maximum of 40 men.[4]
After Estonia regained independence, the military left in 1993, leaving behind ruins of different fortifications and military buildings. During the property reform the pre-1940 landowners of Osmussaar were not allowed to directly reclaim their land and property, because a cadastral survey had never been conducted on the island and until the Swedes left during World War II, land ownership had been based on old customs.[10] After the departure of Soviet army Osmussaar was uninhabited until 2001, when 2 people moved to the island.
In 1996 the Osmussaar Landscape Protection Area, covering the whole island, was formed for the protection of local geological formations, plant communities and bird fauna.[2]
Geography and geology[edit]
Osmussaar is the 14th largest island in Estonia. The island is 4.6 km long and 1.3 km wide, with its longer axis in a northwest–southeast direction. The island is located in the mouth of the Gulf of Finland and the Hanko-Osmussaar line is considered the border of the gulf. The highest elevation of the island is 8 m.[11]
Osmussaar is the westernmost point before Öland where the Baltic Klint emerges from the Baltic Sea. Essentially Osmussaar is a relict island of the klint. The height of the cliff on the island's north and east coast is up to 6 meters, but compared to the surrounding seabed, the height of the island is 60 meters. The island has a relatively thin (up to 2 m) cover of Quaternary marine sediments overlying the Ordovician limestone bedrock. The island arose from the sea 2000–3000 years ago,[12] the uplift continues at a rate of about 3 mm/year. Extensive shingle fields, consisting of limestone pebbles, have developed on the western coast of the island.[2] A number of large erratic boulders can be found scattered on the island. Their diameter reaches 10–20 meters, but more remarkable is their petrological composition - a relatively unique type of breccia, which formed in the course of the impact that created the Neugrund crater.[12]
The most powerful recorded earthquake in Estonia, measuring 4.7 magnitudes in Richter scale, occurred on 25 October 1976 near Osmussaar and is known as the Osmussaar earthquake (Estonian: Osmussaare maavärin).[4][9] The earthquake caused the collapse of some sections of the cliff on the island's northeast coast and damaged some buildings on the island. The focus of the earthquake was 5–7 km northeast of the island at a depth of 10 or 13 km.[9]
Transport and tourism[edit]
Osmussaar has no regular connection to the Estonian mainland. The nearest port is Dirhami 9 km to southeast, which is the starting point of most boat trips to the island. Until 2008, when a floating wharf was installed, the island itself had no decent landing facilities.[13]
The popularity of Osmussaar as a tourist destination increased remarkably in 2002, when around 2000 people visited the island.[14] Since then up to 3000 people visit the island every summer.[10]

Patents On Genes: Round Two
Research (85 comments)
Every time I see the gene patent debate now, I think about how my wife spent five years of 60 hour weeks (grad school, she just got her PhD) discovering that some genes from Castor Beans have no effect on the lipids that they produce.
Gene patents get us all backed up in a corner mostly because of the medical tests that can save lives. What people fail to consider is that gene research is not very well-understood yet. Individual researchers fumble around for decades before they get results worth sharing, if ever.
Last time this debate came around, I pointed to Myriad Genetic's financials. They constantly lose money, and rely upon investors to keep them afloat. The research that they do is extremely expensive. They're not some greedy corporation making money hand-over-fist. (My wife, btw, is highly likely to carry the BRCA1 gene that Myriad holds a patent on...three women in her family have been tested and all have it...but until recently we haven't had the financial security to consider getting her tested for it).
I guess my point in all of this is that if gene patents go away, expect genetic research to come to a grinding halt, at least in the private sector. Currently, the private sector is where most of the research is happening. There is some funding by NIH and DoA, but it's on the decline since some kind of financial crisis hit the US.
Since slashdot loves carrying a debate into another field: Imagine if, say, electronic patents were ruled invalid? I mean, electrical doodads are just really following the laws of physics, and processors and logic gates are following the rules of logic. These are concepts that are at their most fundamental mathematics. What would happen to the computer industry if such patents were ruled invalid?

Okay I obviously need some help here. Ethel, my 10 month old Weyondette has a case of pasty butt. Both her and Lucy had it but Lucy took a dirt bath a few days ago and she is clean as a whistle now. This stuff looks like tan mud or something. Stools are normal, no blood, no worms. I don't know what this is all over Ethels butt and I HOPE you don't tell me I have to touch it. I mean if I have to I will but I prefer it as a last resort, especially since I been sick anyway. ewwwl
I looked all over the Internet to find an answer but since I don't know what its called I don't know how to find the solution. Thanks Guys |
Follow-Up Postings:
Its possible that she was egg bound and the egg was broken while yet inside her and then passed smearing her butt; its possible that an egg broke after being laid. Some times when 2 hens are in the same nest box this happens. It could also be som,ething else entirely?? just watch others don t startr picking at her and cause an open wound. |
oh I hope thats it and I don't have to do anything but let it come off. Do chickens ever take water baths? Should I provide her some warm water?? Lucy and Ethel DO share a nesting box. |

I'm going to dispense with a report on the weather, because I am writing to you from Los Angeles, where the temp is perma-locked at eighty-three degrees Fahrenheit.

On the evening of October 29, more than seventy-five people crammed into The Red Wheelbarrow, a newly opened Anglophone bookshop, to inaugurate a reading series and celebrate two literary magazines: Upstairs at Duroc, published at the Anglo cultural center WICE, and Pharos, edited collectively by poet Alice Notley's workshop at the British Institute in Paris. The enthusiastic crowd spilled onto the cobblestone street, smoking cigarettes and craning their necks for a view of the proceedings.

I get very bright, good light in my apartment. However, I'm a 'gardening novice' and am confused by terms like "indirect bright light" ... Is this too much light for my Prayer Plant, Christmas Cactus, Philodendrons and Rubber Tree Plant? I also have succulents (Burro's Tale, etc) on the same bright window sill. I hope the picture is clear enough. |

If that is a south facing window it may be to strong for the plants you have on the sill now. Most of my plants do great in a east facing window. Hope that helps a little. Christine |

Thanks, Christine. My window faces west. There's a 25 story building that blocks out some of the sun, however, it remains really bright. I've decided to monitor for any signs of too much sun and move them to another location close to the window if they do start to "complain" a bit =D |

Save the BECPL
SITUATION: The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library faces a $6.8 million shortfall for 2011 if the budget proposed by County Executive Chris Collins stands. Library hours will be reduced from 332 to 205.
COST: Buffalo/Erie County library services cost $28.64 per capita while comparably sized cities pay $43 and up per capita.
VALUE: If you borrow just 2 books and 10 movies a month rather than buy these items, you save $74 in a month and close to $900 in a year.
--Providing equal access to information resources
--Promoting literacy and education for children and adults
--Development of programs and services for enriching life skills.
