The book I read to research this post was Corporate Blogging For Dummies by Douglas Karr which is a very good book which I read at http://safaribooksonline.com .

Avoiding the 'crash pad' syndrome.
O.K., SD-18 has graduated, moved out of our house and into BM's about 3 weeks ago. SD has since strolled into our house twice around 3 a.m. to sleep. I told DH that the behavior was not "cool" with me because she woke me up (on work nights) both times she came in. DH sleeps like a rock, so it didn't affect him. DH (in his typical manner) asks me what I think we should do about it. I said that if she wanted to stay the night at our house that:
1.) She must call ahead so we know she's coming
2.) If she wants to come "visit", she needs to come and spend time WITH us
3.) She's to be in the house before 10 p.m. if she stays during the week, so as to not wake anyone up in the middle of the night.
Does any of this sound unreasonable?
I do understand this is a big transition for SD. I don't want to make her feel that she's not welcome, but I also don't want her using our home as her "crash pad" because she doesn't feel like driving back to BM's after seeing her boyfriend (he lives a lot closer to us).
SD called her Dad on Sunday and asked if her and her girlfriend could come to our house to take showers (because they were out all night) and SD didn't feel like driving all the way back to BM's house. OF COURSE, instead of simply telling her "no", DH asks me my opinion.... I told him "no", her not feeling like driving back to BM's was not a good enough reason for her to shower at our house... She chose to move out, we didn't force her out. I feel she needs to live with her decision. DH ended up telling her "no" about the shower thing, but had to throw into the conversation "well, have you thought about moving back here?" I confronted DH about saying that to her, and he said SD's response was "I've been thinking about it". I told DH she was only saying that to try to manuever him, and that he need not be playing her game because that's all it is. Keep in mind, DH and I have agreed she wouldn't be living under our roof again unless she has a job (and she is still not working).
Soooo, after all that said, we had SD's graduation party at our house on Saturday. BM showed up, and that's o.k. because it was planned. I was talking to BM about SD's problem with the drugs and such. BM tells me she's going to make her daughter take the home drug tests to try to get her to stop using... I asked BM "so what if your daughter refuses to take the test?" BM says "then I tell her to get out". OH BOY... just what I didn't want to hear. Not that I should be suprised, but geesh... BM is working as a drug & alcohol counselor now, and that was her response to her own daughter? OH, WOW... Can I get a break?
I think your sd has some hard lessons to learn ahead of her and she better get use to the fact that once you make a decision ...you LIVE WITH IT!
From what i see by her mom's reaction, is that she wont take her cr*p either.
On your end, you better sit your dh down and tell him about the conversation you had with bm and her response and then remind him that sd is not to move back in. It will be a hard lesson to learn but she must clean her act up , get a job and get off the drugs! If bm does kick her out, i think all of you must have a team plan. This does not include her moving back into your house...this will enable her..and also not moving back into bm's. Another solution has to be made and she cannot be 'given' any more slack from either side. The drug problem has to be nipped in the butt and it will be tough.
Stand your ground and remind your dh about the agreement you guys have between you. Maybe get togehter with bm to form a plan b as well.
kkny - SD quit her job 5 months ago. We have always had the rule in our house, you want to drive, you pay for your gas and insurance. For the first 2 months off work she begged and borrowed to come up with the money (because she didn't want to stop driving). BM stepped in about 3 months ago and took over her car insurance, her phone bill and has been giving her gas money "to look for a job". Now, S.D. is living off of the money she got for graduation (which wasn't a whole lot). DH and I stopped "lending" her money because we didn't want to support her drug habit.
SD claims she's starting college in the fall. She graduated with a 2.4 GPA, so no scholarships. SD hasn't registered for college yet because she hasn't had the money for the application fee ($40), so the whole college thing is up in the air at the moment. The college she's talking about attending is a local branch, so I assume she's planning on living at either BM's or our house. BM wants her to work and help support herself, too.
Organic - I agree, DH, BM and I need to have a plan. I'll talk to him tonight about BM's response on Saturday. Good thinking!
Uh...no way would should be using my house as a truck stop after her partying. She for sure wouldn't be draggin' strangers over at 3 in the morning when I had to work, ANd the kid is involved wiith drugs?! Uh, sorry but it's tuff love time.
You are not Motel 8 sweetie. If the kid was doing right and wanted to visit it would be one thing but if she's just washing the cigarrette smoke and puke out of her partied out hair and scrubbing her girly parts down after hookin' around because she's too high on pills to drive back to BM's(sorry to be blunt but I know the type)than my damn door would be locked.
Daddy is going to have to get tuff with girlie girl for her own god. Mom sounds harsh but maybe mom is the smart one. Maybe mom is tired of dealing. Maybe you guys should take some notes.
2.4 GPA??? I don't see in school in this kids future.
"SD claims she's starting college in the fall. She graduated with a 2.4 GPA, so no scholarships. SD hasn't registered for college yet because she hasn't had the money for the application fee ($40), so the whole college thing is up in the air at the moment."
Sorry Poppingrays, but unless YOU sign her up, I wouldn't count on it. Come on! Not going to college because she can't find the $40 to register? Some life plan...
On the crash pad stuff -- For my son (who is NOT on drugs and is responsible and college-bound), I'd say notify by 10:00, home by midnight, no guests and QUIET!
What about bm and dad paying the application fee for her and also helping her fill out the financial aid forms?
Then if she decides not to go it is on her....and the "I didn't have $40" excuse is out the window!!
BM needs to stop giving her any $ and stop paying for extras like a cell phone. If sd has no ambition she needs to realize the things she will no longer be able to have.
As for the drugs situation I would think bm being a drug counselor would have some ideas to help....maybe a treatment program or something??? Even Narcotics Anonymous meetings? Something!!!
2.4 is enouhg to attend community college. You are wrong about it doodle. Of course Yale is not her future but there are plenty of community type of colleges. More so some local state universities in urban setting could take students wiht low GPA, they start them wiht prep programs, put them on probations etc
on topic of coming to sleep at the middle of the night or taking showers. SO's DD20 shows up late at night no warnings as well. She rents her own apartment (wiht roommates) yet shows up at dads in the middle of the night without warnings.
More so when she visits her mom who lives few minutes from dad, she drives to dad's house to take a shower (mom's bathroom is filthy), drives to dads to do laundry (mom's laundry room is filthy), drives to dad to eat (mom has no decent food), comes to dad to load her car wiht food and house products (used to also load it up wiht my possessions LOL finally stopped). If she would be my daughter I would tell her if you are staying wiht me then stay wiht me but if you are staying with the other parent then do your laundry, eat, and take showers there.
SO doesn't like that she is using his house as a restaurant or a landromat but of course says nothing.
FD, you are absolutely correct. Where I live, there is a range of after HS programs. A community college can point her toward better grades or a vocational program. She needs to go and take an aptitude test. I certainly dont condone drugs or excessive drinking, but I wouldnt write off a teen for that. I think there is room for compromise. On days when I have to work the next day, and DD doesnt have school or work (she has days off in between) she knows she has to come in VERY QUIETLY. If she is not going to be in by prearranged time, she leaves a message on my email -- I can check, but it wont wake me.
sweeby - hallway, baseball bat.... LMAO! I love it!
mom2mom - between senior pictures, school fees, graduation fees, unnecessary doctor's visits, drug evaluation fees, trip fees, paying to fix her car, sundries, clothes, etc., etc. SD has bled us dry this year. I don't think it's too much to ask for her to get off her duff and cough up $40. She said she was going to use some of her graduation money for that... I guess we'll see if that happens. BM is paying SD's bills right now, so I don't blame BM for not giving her the money for it, either! It's just another excuse SD's using to not take responsibility for something.
doodle - BM hasn't had to deal much with her, other than paying her bills for 3 months. SD's only been at her Mom's house for 3 weeks, now. I think maybe BM has a much lower tolerance for the B.S. this girl dishes out than my DH does (must be the 'daddy's little girl' thing). I agree, she's not using our home as a truck stop.
I believe SD could get into college, it's just a matter of her REALLY wanting it. I put myself through college, it's not impossible! I just don't see her really wanting to put in the effort to make it happen... She's just out having 'fun' and that's all she cares about for now.
kkny - yes, SD has problems, but we have no intention of writing her off. There does need to come a point for her to own up to her decisions and choices. She has to stop be enabled, then it should start to sink in (hopefully!). As far as coming in late, there is no way for her to come in quietly. My dogs start barking the minute anyone pulls in the driveway and won't settle down until she's actually in the house ( and DH sleeps through it!)
Here's a possible solution for the crash pad. DH gives her some firm rules regarding his and your home. Your requests are not unreasonable - call first, be home by 10:00 and if she visits, it's a visit. Put a chain lock on your door(s) and secure them when you go to bed. I think it will only take one time of trying to get into the house at 1:00 am, and finding it impossible to get it inside to make her call next time. She may wake you as she tries to get in, but then you can wake her dad and let him firmly deal with it.
The school stuff - whoever said for DH and BM to pay for her application and then help w/financial aid - great idea.
I know you CAN get in with a 2.4 average. I'm saying she won't. School obviously isn't on this kids priority list with grades like that.
She is using school to buy her piss off time. She has no intentions of enrolling any where. She is too busy hitting the clubs.
Put the foot down. Just say no to being Motel 8 for a Paris Hilton wannabe...that's all I'm saying. If she wants to stop in to say hi during normal hours GREAT! I would not be the hold over between the bar and home though. No way.
"I don't know what to say -- I think telling a 18YO she has to be in by 10 is basically telling her no room at the inn."
Yes, but keep in mind, this is a girl who is floundering. She's not working, not in school, has no firm plans to enroll in college, and she does drugs!
I think setting a firm boundary of 10 pm is fine. If she were a responsible 18 year old, like your daughter seems to be, then I would say of course she has EARNED the right to stay out late. But that's not the case here.
10 pm is not unreasonable in this situation.
What do you think is the best way to GET her on track?
- By shelling out $40 bucks and helping her sign up for some classes at the local college (even if she won't take it seriously)?
- Or by telling her to be in by 10:00 or not at all (which won't happen) and that she has to pay for her own college (which also won't happen)?
I'm certainly of the opinion that enabling a grown child/young adult to behave irresponsibly is not a good thing, and that at some point, you have to put your foot down and cut them off. But 18 seems pretty young to do that.
I do understand this is a big transition for SD. I don't want to make her feel that she's not welcome, but I also don't want her using our home as her "crash pad" because she doesn't feel like driving back to BM's after seeing her boyfriend (he lives a lot closer to us).
You probably can't have this both ways. If she is only allowed to "visit" and not stop by to shower, sleep, or raid the fridge, or other home-type, crash-pad activities, when she feels like it, she will probably not feel welcome. There probably is not a "fine line down the middle" that you can walk.
I say this as someone who basically was your SD at her age. Well, I did have a part time job. But I was not heading to college, no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and went out partying a LOT. Up until graduation I lived half time with each parent. Once I was eighteen and out of high school, I basically decided I didn't need a curfew, so I stopped following one. My dad took basically the tactic you're proposing; told me I couldn't live there anymore unless I agreed to quit the partying and have an early curfew; first time I came home late, I would be locked out. My mom let me stay with her, paid a low-end of market value rent, I didn't have a curfew, didn't stop partying, but also didn't bring it into her home. In retrospect, which was objectively better for me? I honestly don't know. If my mom had given me the same rules as my dad, I wouldn't have stayed; I'd have found my own place. I might have "grown up" a little faster if I'd been living on my own, or I might have just been that one kid that has their own place so everyone else comes to party there, which would probably have wound up sending me into a lot more trouble than what I got into coming home to mom most nights.
But I will say my relationship with my dad was strained for quite a long time. In my teenage mind, I was working, being a productive member of society, not out robbing banks or anything, and just because I wasn't going to college and liked to go to parties, neither of which seemed like horrible things to me at the time, I was --the way i saw it then-- being rejected by my parent. It did hurt me and I did resent it for years.
Now, I'm not telling you that what you're suggesting is wrong I think that's a personal, family- and situation- specific choice. I'm just saying if you do it, be prepared for some emotional fall-out.
quirk - I have all confidence that SD is not a menace to society. DH and I have told her that she is welcome to move back in, BUT she has to be working. We don't expect her to work full-time, just enough to pay her personal bills and buy her own clothes and sundries. We don't expect rent or for her to buy food. She is doing everything in her power to avoid doing the right thing and get a job. Believe me, I liked to party when I was her age, too, but I worked and I followed the rules of the home I lived in... it's not a hard thing to do!
SD had plans to move in with BM since the beginning of her senior year, this wasn't a "spur of the moment" decision for her. She tried moving in with BM last Feb., but it was just too hard for her to commute to her high school and she didn't want to start a new school half way through her senior year, so she came back home to finish. SD has had every opportunity to get things right, she just continues to tread down the wrong path. I pray that BM can help SD straighten out, DH and I are not the ONLY parents here! We've given and given and given to this child. It has to even out sometime!
I should have also offered this bit of advice. If you do implement a "no crash pad" policy, I would make sure you and DH go extra-far out of your way to invite her over frequently and specifically. Not just "stop by whenever you want" because the no-crash-pad policy is sort of emphasizing that this is not her home anymore, and sending the opposite message. Which I understand is sort of the point, but if she is a visitor, vs a household member, treat her as any other visitor and invite her to come visit. Make sense? Although of course she isn't exactly like any other visitor, whom you might reasonably expect to reciprocate invitations, since she's living at her mom's and, well, presumably that would just be awkward.
Maybe you are already doing this, I didn't notice if you mentioned it, or if it's even been long enough since she moved to have established any pattern.

What I meant to do was say we crossed posts, and i didn't see your last one when I wrote mine. I do understand your position (I'm not 18 any more after all). I'm certainly not anti-rules for 18 year olds. But I do think that going out of your way to point out that your house is no longer her home is likely to make her feel unwelcome or a little bit rejected, so be thoughtful about how far you go or how you go about it.
quirk, you're absolutely right. We should extend invitations rather than tell her to "just stop by". It has only been a short time since SD has moved out, so no patterns have really been established. We just thought it would be a good idea to set some ground rules early on since SD was showing a propensity to make a habit of strolling in our home in the middle of the night.
We don't want to keep her away by any means, she must understand that her choices affect people other than herself. I also feel that she needs to give living with her BM some time, and not just cut and run from there if BM's rules are "too much" for her. SD's been wanting to establish a relationship with her Mom for a long time, unfortunately, it's taken BM this long to reciprocate. This whole thing is really hard because of the drugs being in the mix. SD wants to live like a rock star, but doesn't have the means to do it! She needs to decide what is more important.

On the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Playbill asked members of the Broadway community to reflect on the uncertain time, the shared hope and the role that theatre played following the destruction of the twin towers of New York City's World Trade Center. In Part Two of two, former Broadway League president Jed Bernstein, along with performers Karen Mason, Nancy Opel and Brad Oscar, who were working on Broadway at the time, talk about the mayor's request to relight Broadway theatres two days after 9/11, and how artists and audiences responded to performances in the wake of the national tragedy.

We needed to take some band pics real quick for a show that we'll be playing in a few months so we did something quick and fun at practice. We're missing a few folks so the next time we get together we'll get everyone in the pics!
In 1 week we'll be playing a show with our friends, Silent and Listen and our new best friends, The Vincent Blacks, featuring members from The Dutch Angle.
Come say hi!
Here's more info: https://www.facebook.com/events/767018693389237/
Here's another new tune written for the Theme Music songwriting group on Facebook. The theme this week was "groups of people," and for some reason I got to thinking back about a building I would pass from time to time in Indianapolis at the corner of Delaware and Vermont near downtown with a big sign out front that said "Indianapolis Musicians Local No.3 A.F. of M." In my time up in Indianapolis I always wanted to go inside and check it out, but I never did.
So, I decided to give that sign a little twist, bring it home to Atlanta and I added the 404 area code to the title to give it a place for those that recognise it, without calling out Atlanta by name. It's a quiet little number with fireworks in the video. Hope you enjoy it.
Musicians Local 404
Sitting on roofs in the afternoon
Smoking cigarettes and smiling down at you, on you
They all want to know your name
But we're quiet just the same
We play our part most every day
Something memorized, sometimes we stray away
Stuck in cars in the evening light
Hearing melodies from the traffic in the night, we might
Write a song and nothing more
Musicians Local 404
Early evening, take the stage
Hoping to see you for a moment in the haze
But the night is comes and goes
Smell of smoke on all our clothes
Unload our stuff out of the door
Musicians Local 404
Now off to sleep
To sleep so deep
To dream of you
A dream so true
So I'll write a song and nothing more
Spread out some papers on the floor
Hoping to see you at my door
Musicians Local 404

See you there!
A few years back I was living in Indianapolis and one night a group of us were out at a pub called The Broadripple Brew Pub having drinks by the fireplace lamenting a friend's recent breakup when one of the girls said to her, "You need to sail out of bitter harbor and go get yourself a new man!" To this day that phrase cracks me up, so I used it as the inspiration for this tune. Bitter Harbor. A song about someone that's too afraid to leave port and to be loved. It's just me, an acoustic guitar and a old video. Hope you dig it.
Here's a fun little cover of Pavement's tune, Cut Your Hair that Michelle Freidman, Tim Terilli and I did for the Theme Music group on Facebook. Dig it!
The new record is in the final stages of mastering and artwork, and we're really excited to be releasing this one on 12" colored vinyl. Here's a sneak peak at one of the cover ideas.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
either of two ancient breeds of sporting dogs used to flush game from cover and to retrieve it. The English springer spaniel is a medium-sized, compact dog standing 19 to 20 inches (48 to 51 cm) and weighing 40 to 50 pounds (18 to 23 kg). Its glossy coat is flat or wavy and usually black and white or liver-coloured and white. The English springer spaniel is valued both as a companion and for its use in the field as a pheasant hunter. The Welsh springer spaniel, known since at least the 14th century, is somewhat smaller than the English; its flat coat is always red-brown and white, with feathering on the chest, legs, and belly. It stands 17 to 19 inches (43 to 48 cm). It is noted as both a pet and a tireless, capable hunting dog and retriever.

Henry supports under-siege Deans

New Zealand coach Graham Henry has defended one of his greatest rivals in Australian counterpart Robbie Deans following the Wallabies' shock loss to Samoa.
The Pacific island nation claimed a 32-23 in Sydney on Saturday, with Deans coming under heavy scrutiny in the aftermath.
The Wallabies fielded an under strength side as Deans sought to give Queensland Reds players, who had just played in the Super Rugby final, a rest ahead of the Tri-Nations a decision Henry supported.
"Robbie's got a bit of stick from the media which I think is questionable," Henry said.
"How does he play those Reds players? Throw them out there again, kill them? Or be pragmatic?
"He was hoping that he'd do the business without the Reds players but it didn't happen that way so he gets a lot of stick for making the right decision.
"I've got some sympathy for him," he said after naming the All Blacks test team to face Fiji in Dunedin on Friday night.
The loss means Deans' three-year tenure has yielded 24 wins from 44 tests but Henry said not enough credit had been given to Samoa for their performance. The All Blacks boss was also wary of the effect it may have on the Wallabies' performances as they prepare to face them in the upcoming Tri-Nations tournament.
"I thought the Samoans played bloody well. I thought they played the game tactically very well and they were up for it mentally and physically," he said.
"It just shows you that any side in the world in the top 10 or so can do the job, you've just got to prepare correctly.
"In the long-term it won't do the Australians any harm. It'll give them an extra edge, an extra determination. They've had a wake-up call."

At once rugged, adorned and practical, Holding Horses evokes an upscale-downhome feel with their slouchy leather bags, rough-and-tumble boots and made-to-last denim. With its primary-hued needlework, this breezy frock showcases the label's softer side.

Full multimedia coverage of local, national and world events is available now at The Informer - a website run by our second year students for one day only.
They will be producing rolling news updates throughout the day online, as well as hourly radio bulletins which can also be heard on the website.
Shorthand Classes in the Summer term will be as follows:
Combined year 1, 2 and 3 10.00 - 11.00
Monday - Friday in DA114
Monday in PK124
Tuesday - Friday in DA114
Congratulations to MA Multimedia Journalism student Josh Fordham, whose interview with the new boss of Charlton FC made a page lead in this week's Dartford and Gravesend Messenger.
Guy Luzon has given few press interviews since his arrival at the club a couple of months ago, so when Josh talked his way into doing a face-to-face with the new manager, the KM gave it a good showing.
In a move possibly inspired by The Voice, the first knockout round of the Shorthand Champions League was played in an experimental blind format.
The results - and the draw for this week's Quarter Finals - can now be revealed.
Meanwhile, we can confirm that FIFA has shortlisted the Shorthand Champions League for its inaugural Transparency In Sport awards, while Will.I.Am has branded the competition "dope" (although this may have been "deep". The outline got smudged).
Round of 16
Latifa 0 - Andrew 7
Hsin-Yi 0 - Annabelle X
There is a weird nostalgia for the fifties.With these trinkets of high waisted trousers and petticoats, we seem to have dragged with us some slightly confused views on chivalry and the mysterious ideal man. Nowhere is this better summed up than in Meghan Trainor's new video, 'Dear Future Husband'.
After an administrative farce which has led to the director of the Shorthand Champions League being fired and an inquiry being demanded by fans across the world, the final league standings can be revealed.
Round One ended in a tooth-and-nail scrap for qualification which did not disappoint in drama.
There was heartache in week six for Shauntal, Matt and Daniel who all missed out on last-minute opportunities to progress.
The biggest shock came in Group F where Evie - who had sat comfortably in a qualification spot for weeks - was overturned by Melisande.
Centre for Journalism students and graduates are once again leading the way for strong orignal journalism nationally, after it was announced today that three students and recent grads have made the the Student Publication Association's national awards shortlist.
As part of his coursework project for the Advanced Multimedia Storytelling module, MA student Aodhan Gregory is running an election debate event next Monday evening (23 March) in Canterbury, starting at 6pm. It's taking place at the Media Centre on the main university campus.
He's worked extremely hard to get representatives from all of the main political parties to attend the debate, which will be recorded 'as live' for the radio show he presents on Canterbury Student Radio. He's also recording the event on video to turn into a web film.
This is a great opportunity for CfJ students to witness and take part in a political debate ahead of the most unpredictable election of recent times. It might also provide you with stories for your portfolio.
There will be a timed news writing test for Reporting and Writing II in the newsroom from 2pm to 3pm tomorrow.
The test includes a verbal statement at 100wpm which needs to be taken down so make sure you bring notepaper and a pen.
It is worth 20% of the final mark for the module.

A few years ago, we picked up this wavemeter from an antique shop for about $25. It looked cool, and I though it would look good on a shelf. The problem is, I don't really know anything about it. I've tried looking it up, but I never found out ANYTHING about it other then that it may have been used during either WW2, or Korea. We think it may have also came off a aircraft, but we're not sure.
Sorry about the crappy pics, I took them with my phone.
The big dial also has some writing, but I couldn't get a readable picture with my phone. Here's what it says.
Left lower corner--- TYPE DO-41
Right lower corner--- MODEL
Middle--- GENERAL ELECTRIC
The scale on the dial also goes up to 100.
There is also some extremely small writing on the black dial next to the big white one.
It says NP110918
Finally, there is a small logo next to the ID plate shown in the picture.
I can't completely read it, but it looks like it's an AN in a circle with some writing under it.
Any ideas what this thing is, what it came off of, or what it was used for?

its a test device for radio equipment. your missing a knob. it looks kinda like an antenna tester or maybe a line tester. wavemeter ts-192/cpm-4 is the name of the device. if you search hard enough you will likely find the military manuals for its usage

I have to agree. A SWR meter is used to match the radio to the antenna for the best trans/receive signals.
I believe the knob was used to bypass the requirement of attenna adjustment.

Since it's from the Signal Corps, I'd agree with Dan that it's probably an SWR meter.
If you have a CB (and maybe the right adapter) you can use it on that.

My other thought was that it was part of Mr. Peabody's 'Way Back Machine', but I guess not.

Lovie Smith has Michael Vick's number. In 4 regular season games against Vick Lovie has won all of them, adding win number 4 last night as the Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles 30-24 on Monday Night Football. Vick was contained again by the Bears defense forcing him into a turnover, keeping his running in check, and making Vick uncomfortable in the pocket. While the Bears defense was keeping the Eagles offense in check, the offensive line of the Bears stepped up allowing Jay Cutler and the rest of the offense to make enough plays to win the game. All in all it was going to take a team effort to beat the Eagles, and the Bears got it.
The defense was the biggest concern going into Monday Night's game, not so much for the way it has played, but for the strength of the Eagle's offense and it's big play ability. The safeties and the rest of the Bears defense put the clamps down on the Eagles big play ability, only allowing 3 plays over 20 yards and 1 over 30. The defensive line got pressure on Vick when it needed, and slowed down LeSean McCoy keeping the elusive running back for being able to cut back. The Bears cut running lanes and were relentless in their pursuit of the ball carriers. Major Wright picked off Michael Vick after Vick's pass was tipped by Lance Briggs.
The biggest story of the day on the offensive side of the ball was two fold with the return of Wide Receiver Earl Bennett and the improving play of the offensive line. Starting with the line the biggest stat of the night was 0 sacks. Let me repeat that, 0 SACKS given up for the Bears offensive line. With time Jay Cutler showed the national TV audience what he can do, using his mobility when he needed it and even getting creative. Cutler also threw a beautiful pass to Bennett in the end zone for the Bears to take the lead. Bennett's return seemed to boost Cutler's confidence and the rest of the offense as Bennett has that chemistry with Cutler that allows him to be the go to receiver in whatever situation the Bears find themselves in. Matt Forte continued to rack up the yards as he ran for 133 yards but fumbled the ball twice, one returned for a touchdown by the Eagles. Those two fumbles are Forte's first fumbles of the year, but came at critical points in the game.
Overall it was a good game played by the Bears, and more importantly gives them another tie-breaker win against an NFC foe who could compete with the Bears for the wildcard. It also get's the Bears on a roll heading toward Sunday's rematch with the Detroit Lions, with 2nd place in the NFC North on the line.
Notes… Kicker Robbie Gould passed Walter Payton for 2nd on the Bears all-time scoring list, with Kevin Butler at the top of the list … Devin Hester was seen limping off the field with a possible ankle injury and Julius Pepper also was hurt his knee, more on both injuries later.

Just in time for Christmas, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York hosts "The Winchester Bible: a Masterpiece of Medieval Art" (until 9 March 2015), an exhibition of illuminated pages from the famed medieval bible, which was written by a single scribe and illustrated by a group of painters over the course of 30 years in the 1100s. Commissioned around 1160 by the Bishop of Winchester, Henry of Blois, the multi-volume tome is currently on tour while the cathedral at Winchester undergoes renovation. The Metropolitan museum show includes two volumes of the book, and one of the volume's pages will be turned once a month for the duration of the exhibition. In this clip, the actor John Rhys-Davies, who played Henry of Blois in "Chronicles of Light," discusses the bible.

New Story Up at Gravel
Every time I go to Florida for a vacation, I seem to come back with an idea for a story. Somehow, in between trips to the condo pool and the theme parks, despite a few drinks in coconuts, I managed to get and keep the idea for this story:
Poor Hylas
I have a new poem up at Pantheon Magazine. Photo credit to my daughter on the author photo.
Here is the link: http://pantheonmag.com/poor-hylas-jason-primm/
Wisdom Tooth
Despite the desires of several dentists over the years, I have managed to keep three out of my four wisdom teeth. I know that terrible things will happen to me because of this (if you buy the white-coat's propaganda). I lost the one because it committed suicide. It decided to get a cavity. Probably because it was in such an awkwardly terrible place in my mouth that there was no hope of ever cleaning it. I kept it for a while. Now it has gone wherever the lost things go. Not actively kept or gotten rid of but not a thing that I can find by looking for it. Maybe it will turn up one day. In the meantime, here's a poem. I wrote it sometime ago. I even gave a copy to this particular dentist. A nice guy who went with the gentle dental rhyme on all his promotional materials. Perhaps it is still in my file. You can read it on Vayavya:
What Can be Done in Two Lines and Why You Aren't Elizabeth Bishop
Here are the first two lines of the Elizabeth Bishop poem, Filling Station:
Oh, but it is dirty!
—this little filling station,
Bishop is famous for her imagery. That is why this poem gets assigned, for the absolute thunderclap, once in a lifetime, "superbowl" level image coming near the end of the poem. But the first two lines are almost an anti-image. Why do these lines work? Let's acknowledge what isn't there. The descriptions stop at the depth of "dirty' and "little." We get one weak verb of being. No unusual language, no strange but apt word choice. What keeps these lines from flat-lining into prose?
Poems have personas or speakers and their speeches need a reason or a place to issue forth from. The importance of this element can be a large part of the poem as in a poem like My Last Duchess or it might just be a sense a gravitas working on some abstract problem of humanity. Here is the dramatic scene. Her car has arrived at a filling station. The speaker is far enough from her home to be unfamiliar with the filling station. The speaker registers surprise at the dirtiness of the station. Which tells you that dirty locales must not be her usual environment.
This is a lot of information in just two lines that are not overtly trying to explain anything. But that isn't all that is being conveyed here. The first line starts with the interjection, "Oh," and ends with an exclamation point. This line is trying to capture the sensation of coming upon this station and not quite understanding it. It feels like she is speaking to herself. Instead of unpacking already understood images, the speaker of this poem is trying to bring you with her as she discovers or sees this filling station. The technique used in fiction would be called stream of consciousness. The second line shows the persona regaining her composure. She is moving from surprise to understanding. Now that she has composed herself, she can describe what is there. There is still a bit of uncontrolled emotion in the line. The use of the word "little" doesn't do much to describe the station but does a lot to convey her affection for it. The rest of the poem will follow the pattern set in these two lines. The poet will alternate between description and surprise or maybe more accurately delight. This movement is the drama of the poem as we follow the speaker from this moment of surprise to an understanding of the place that is bigger than the place. All this is set up in two very quick lines that most people blow through looking for that famous Bishop imagery.
One other thing about these lines, they feel casual. And they should because Bishop is putting us as close to this speaker as she can. There is very little narrative distance. However, the casualness of these lines is an illusion. Bishop is in full control of the rhythm in these lines. We start with the interjection "Oh." This long syllable takes a long time to say and because it is an interjection we go slowly through that emotion. Then we get a comma and the word, "but." This further slows us down and the effect is to capture that feeling of time slowing after a surprise. The end of the first line is an exclamation mark and the second line begins with a dash. This gives us longer to consider that surprise and adds a little suspense. From that dash on, the pace of the lines pick up. The second line falls into smooth flowing iambics. The line ends with an extra unstressed syllable that keeps the speed going. The sound in the second line reinforces that speed. The "i" sounds in "it,' and "is" and "dirty" are repeated in the second line. Poetic technique doesn't get more invisible and effective than what you see in those lines.
Here are the lines that everybody remembers about the row of oil cans:
so that they softly say:
In two lines, she gives you an image that you can see and hear at the same time. Go off and do that if you can. Just kidding, that kind of thing is for giants only.
Here are some things to take away from the first two lines:
Don't ignore the persona of the poem. That persona can be surprised. That persona can learn as it goes, can be uncertain or wrong or boorish or tyrannical. This is true even if that persona is you.
Don't be afraid of small words. If you used the words, "dirty" or "little" in a poem at a workshop, you would likely receive quite a few comments to be more specific. Those words are fine to use if they serve the poem. In this case, we have a poem about a person slowly understanding a place.
(ps. Those workshoppers will be right 95% of the time, but do it anyway. The mistake free mindset of writing poems won't generate any masterpieces.)
Casual speech is not flat speech. It should get most of its charge dramatically, but rhythm and sound are important even in the most casual seeming utterances. The more casual, the more invisible the machinery has to be.

Filling Station
Oh, but it is dirty!
—this little filling station,
oil-soaked, oil-permeated
to a disturbing, over-all
black translucency.
Be careful with that match!
Father wears a dirty,
oil-soaked monkey suit
that cuts him under the arms,
and several quick and saucy
and greasy sons assist him
(it's a family filling station),
all quite thoroughly dirty.
Do they live in the station?
It has a cement porch
behind the pumps, and on it
a set of crushed and grease-
impregnated wickerwork;
on the wicker sofa
a dirty dog, quite comfy.
Some comic books provide
the only note of color—
of certain color. They lie
upon a big dim doily
draping a taboret
(part of the set), beside
a big hirsute begonia.
Why the extraneous plant?
Why the taboret?
Why, oh why, the doily?
(Embroidered in daisy stitch
with marguerites, I think,
and heavy with gray crochet.)
Somebody embroidered the doily.
Somebody waters the plant,
or oils it, maybe. Somebody
arranges the rows of cans
so that they softly say:
to high-strung automobiles.
Somebody loves us all.

Judge Hints At Helping American Airlines Out Of Bankruptcy
Originally published on Thu August 29, 2013 1:41 pm
A U.S. bankruptcy judge on Thursday indicated that he's leaning in favor of a allowing American Airlines to emerge from bankruptcy, clearing a major obstacle to the carrier's planned merger with US Airways.
Judge Sean H. Lane said he is "finding the arguments in favor of confirmation fairly persuasive" to allow American, which filed for Chapter 11 in November 2011, to emerge from bankruptcy.
Lane reportedly could sign off on a restructuring plan for AMR Corp., American's parent, on Sept. 12, according to The Associated Press.
AP says:
"Such a decision would only leave one obstacle — although a big one — to American's proposed merger with US Airways. That would be an antitrust lawsuit filed by the government earlier this month."
We reported about that anti-trust lawsuit, filed by the Department of Justice, earlier this month.

A lady-pal of mine once turned up at a party and claimed some fella in the middle of the street had just asked her if he could lick the soul of her boot, and the dirty bitch obliged...of course she did.
It's something I've never tried but have often watched. Maybe I should just try it out, although I could see me getting a little too -erm- creative; deep-throating the laces, licking the Nike Swoosh from base-to-tip, rimming myself with the sneaker-tongue [trainer tongue punches].

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Scrambled Egg Game
Item No.1710011821
Can you take better care of this egg than Greg did in health class? To play, the youngest player starts the game holding Rowley's egg. Turn over a category card and read it out loud. Then start the timer on the egg. After you call out an answer to the category, toss the egg to another player. Act fast because you never know when the egg will SPLATTTT! If a player mentions something that has already been said - they must hold onto the egg until they can think of something that hasn't been repeated. Don't be caught holding the egg when you hear it crack! If that happens when you're holding the egg, you collect a card. When a player has collected three category cards, they are out of the game. Play continues until there's only one player left - the winner! This hilarious game will provide hours of entertainment for children and the electronic timer adds to the tension and the fun! Whatever age you are, this game is great fun for the whole family.
