Hi, it's me again. You're probably getting tired of me. Well, I'm looking for advice again. You know the history of my son and DIL. Well, they were supposed to bring our grandbaby here this weekend and now their plans have changed and they're not coming. We have been looking so forward to this. We have been very patient because they've been very busy and with the issues they were having we didn't want to push it. Well, it's getting to be like once a month we are seeing her. (You may recall me mentioning they are only 80 miles away.) They aren't coming here, they say, but we can come there. Well, in almost 5 months of our grandbaby's life she's been here only 3 times, and one of them was a very short visit. We are tired of this. I have put together an e-mail to send to my son (to the both of them) My husband has proofed and critiqued it and I even had my other son's girfriend look at it and she thinks we're being reasonable. BUT, I am so afraid my DIL is going to go off the deep end. The biggest point we are making in this letter is that they are not just keeping dgd from us, but from her great-grandparents as well. My in-laws live here, by us. MIL is asking when baby is coming again. I don't have to tell you that with old people we don't know what's going to happen, and my son understands this. So, I'm hoping this letter will get that point across that this isn't just for us, but for them. I need to send this e-mail really soon, if I'm going to send it. Like I said, I'm just afraid DIL will go off the deep end and then keep her from us. I don't think she would be that mean, but I just don't know. WDYT? Thanks! Oh, and we already offered to go and get her and bring her home again, that didn't work.

Thank you all for your responses. We are having a wonderful visit. Son and DIL went to visit great-grandparents. For everyone that is still saying that if we want to see the baby, we should go to their house, I will be happy to go to their house some time when they're actually home. I have mentioned about all their weddings and her family obligations. It's pretty hard for me and my husband, my other two sons, or the great-grandparents to go and visit them when they are not home. So, then we should have all bombarded them this weekend because it was the only weekend that they were home? I would personally think, as a new mom, that that would be more stressful to have a bunch of company all in one weekend or a bunch of different weekends. You worry about how clean your house is, providing meals for them, etc., etc. To me that's more stressful than going to someone else's home (grandma and grandpa's) where they're making the meals and I could just leave my messy house behind. Now they've visited with everyone here, they can go home, and not have company for awhile. There are two views to everything, that is my point of view.
Something else I thought of, is that distance sometimes is not a factor if your priority is family. My husband's sister, husband and two kids lived 4 hours from here when their kids were small. They traveled here probably once a month to see the grandparents. I used to think they were nuts, coming all that way so often. But, my SIL wanted her children to have a close relationship with their grandparents. I can't say that my sons really have a much closer relationship than her kids, I think it's pretty equal. She did all this when her kids were small, all while holding down a full-time job, and getting her master's degree. Now, we aren't all superwoman, I certainly could never have done any such thing, but, it shows you what you will do when something is important to you.
So, how this all started about needing advice "ASAP" doesn't apply anymore, because I didn't and am not going to send the e-mail that I typed up. So don't worry about giving me advice now. If you would like to come back and just chat, I am happy to do that.
|Sat, 08-24-2013 - 4:47pm
I am very concerned that you are setting yourself for a rough road as a mother-in-law. Do you want to be known as the nasty MIL? In years to come, do you want your grand-daughter to say that "oh, Granny hated my mom"?
Please remember it is your son`s responsibilty to arrange to visit you and your in-laws, not your DIL. Don`t blame her. It is not her duty to take into account their health concerns. Your DIL DOESN'T Know them; they are not her family. If your son's grandparents are as important in his life as you say they are, your son would have arranged to visit them with his wife and child sooner. He is an adult and a married man now.
And by the way, his siblings could have visited their new niece if they had wished too. Again, if it was important for your son, he would have made sure that his siblings meet his daughter.
Remember, it is very normal for a young woman to gravitate towards her family. Your DIL is very young; she lives very close to her mother. It is only natural that your granddaughter sees her maternal grandmother often and that your DIL turns to her mother for advice. So?

They are here now, and DIL is feeding baby for bed. It is so great to have them here! Already my youngest son and his girlfriend, and my other son and his fiance have gotten to see her! I totally think that they should get to decide what is best for their family. However, I'm just asking for a little fairness. I don't want it to seem like I am keeping score, but until this weekend, I could've counted on two hands the number of hours I've held my grandbaby. It just hurts very badly knowing her other grandmother and great-grandmothers have had countless hours. It makes us feel second rate. I am especially concerned for my in-laws. My son loves his grandparents deeply and he has a strong relationship with them, because of our effort when our kids were small to make their grandparents a part of their lives. Because of this close bond, I know my son wouldn't forgive himself if something happened to either one of his grandparents and it had been months since they saw their grandbaby, or him for that matter. My in-laws can no longer safely travel. We could take them to son and DIL house but that's hard on them too. So, I think that DIL has to take all of this into consideration and just try to give my son's grandparents the same chance as she does hers. Oh, and btw, my parents are dead, so there's only one set of grandparents here, it shouldn't be so hard. I haven't asked, but I'm sure they will go see them tomorrow. If we were really far away from them, I would just have to accept that "it is what it is" but, since it isn't that far away, it's very hard pill to swallow.
|Fri, 08-23-2013 - 10:01pm
I'm of the opinion that there has to be a balance, and everybody may have to make sacrifices to achieve that. So grandparents shouldn't be insisting on frequent visits but the young family should be mindful of the desire of the extended family to know the baby. Its true that I do not have grandchildren so cannot speak with authority on how I would behave in this circumstance but I know my past experience and my feelings.
We made trips to visit dh's family which were inconvenient to say the least. Its a 2 hr drive to get there but a much longer return because of the wait to cross the border back into the US. Stuck in a sea of cars inching along for at least an hour and sometimes much more; sometimes leaving late at night to avoid the heat and hope that the lines would be shorter. We certainly didn't go as often as they would have liked, but we went often enough to satisfy them I hope...there were a lot of things we would rather have been doing with those weekends, but beyond the familial "duty" we also like to make them happy, so sometimes chose to put their happiness ahead of ours. Fortunately both kids tended to fall asleep once the car got to about 35mph.
Dh and I were both raised with a sense of duty to family and have passed that on to our kids. I still occasionally feel the need to remind my kids of the "right" thing to do even though in general they understand it and buy in to it. I don't put a lot of pressure or expectations on them but sometimes they need that. I guess the key is to use the guilt and pressure sparingly and only when most useful.

So glad your son is bring the baby for the weekend. I don't know what your email said & I'm wondering if you sent it or if this change was just from a simple text. I'm hoping it was a text. At this point, I believe it's only Sabr, Nora & I who have grandkids on the board now along with you. You will also get a variety of opinions & need to chose the one that works best for you.
I would have sided with not sending an email but even that would have been unfair if I hadn't read it. My Mom lived an a 90 min drive away when my daughter was a baby & my baby was an excellent traveller. I didn't like having to drive there with her though. The 3 of us got so little family time together that 3 hrs in a car over the weekend seemed to be a chore. It was so much easier/restful when Mom came to visit us. No packing to do, no worrying about the trip, about who would be wanting to visit. Frankly, I never found those visits restful & being sleep deprived, I wasn't in the best of moods when we got home again.
My daughter is 2 1/2 hrs away & 90% of the time I travel to her. Her inlaws are close by & so they see our grandkids more often. It's just a fact of life. I am the one making the greater effort to be involved in my grandkids lives as their parents have busy lives of their own. They welcome us & yes, I have had times when they have been busy entertaining when we showed up at an appointed time. It bugs me but that is life.
I hope you have an amazing time with plenty of baby love coming your way. I think it's ok to express that you feel disappointed when they don't come to visit often but I don't think it's right to tell them what they should be doing. Just remember to use the "I feel ..... when you ....", it's highly recommended when communicating to talk how you feel about someone's actions not that what they are doing is wrong, cruel, etc.
|Fri, 08-23-2013 - 7:46am
So I guess when out stated that you need opinion ASAP and wanted advice you meant that you only wanted opinions and advice of those that agreed with you.
|Fri, 08-23-2013 - 7:38am
Do not think you are going to like my opimion.
How about treating your son and DIL like the adults that they are. They make the decisions that they think are best for their family. If they do not want to make the trip they they should not have to. If they do not want to have someone take their young baby for the weekend, they should not have to. They are the parents of the child and make those decisions.
I think one think that helped our marriage is we were of the mind that our family comes first, all of our decisions were based on what was best for our family not our extended families. Another think that helped was our exended families never gave us problems with that.

Thank you Elc, I will enjoy their visit! They're coming later today (Friday) and leaving on Sunday. Yay! When I texted my son I mentioned about his grandparents wanting to see the baby. It's not him that doesn't want to come it's her. Don't understand it, but they're coming now. So just have to make them feel as welcome as possible.
|Fri, 08-23-2013 - 2:14am
So now they are coming for the weekend, arriving Saturday and leaving on Sunday? I'll bet you are happy about that! Any idea what made them change their minds?
Enjoy your weekend with your dgd!
|Thu, 08-22-2013 - 11:12pm
I'll just add another thought here, sabrtooth. Obviously you have had some bad experiences with babies riding in a car, that doesn't mean it is that way for everyone. My granddaughter does very well in the car otherwise it would have been a little tough to do all the traveling they've been doing. Many babies do very well in the car, I've not known too many that you describe. Also, they are free to leave whenever they wish to on Sunday. My son and his girlfriend will have left for college early in the day, and I'm sure they will visit with great-grandparents earlier in the weekend, maybe even on their way here. So, it won't get "ridiculously late."

For The Challenge
It is the number one answer to the number one question we get as ultrarunners… "Why do you do it?"
"For the challenge!"
The answer sounds so glib that it might come across as a throwaway line.
But the truth is, there are many nuances to the challenge of running ultras.
On Injuries And Aging
If we avoid injury for many years, at some point, time and age catch up to us, and a decade later, something gives out. For me, this was my left ankle, and the real culprit was excessive abuse in my teens and 20s at other sports.

Live coverage of major ultramarathons has evolved and grown substantially in the past 15 years, and this year Western States 100 brought the most comprehensive and reliable coverage yet of a North American ultramarathon. It was back in 2000 under the vision of new RD Greg Soderlund that the internet and its capabilities became a
The Road to the Starting Line
For the uninitiated, for those who marvel at the idea that 50 or 100 miles of continuous running is possible, the phrase "I could never do that" is often an instant, almost involuntary reaction. "I could never do that" precedes a second common reaction, "I can barely run a 5k." Despite how frequently I hear this reaction, it still gives me pause and makes me wonder: Why, after all, are people so fixated on finishing an ultramarathon, when the road to the starting line is where most of the journey takes place?
How Do You Like Your Drama?
Drama. It's essentially people facing challenges with uncertain outcomes. In good drama there's always conflict and a "crisis" to be overcome… or not. The best drama elicits strong emotional responses from those watching it unfold. Drama in many forms is everywhere in our entertainment- and stimulation-obsessed society. With modern-day conveniences and technology it's hard to

Height barriers (15a, 15b) on the bottom of the feed arm frame (5) are located a distance above the bottom of paper drawer (1) of a printer (13). the drawer is pulled out to load paper, and then pushed in. If the paper stack (25) is high enough to encounter the barriers, paper which encounters the barrier is pushed off the top of the stack as the drawer moves further. The pushed paper emerges in front of the printer and is removed by the operator. Back restraint (17) is integral to the elevated region (17b) followed by an inclined region (17a). Overloading of paper is prevented and the paper stack not uncompressed during subsequent paper feed.
1. A media height limiting apparatus comprising:
a drawer, for holding a stack of media to be fed from said drawer
a receptacle in which said drawer may be inserted, and
at least one barrier fixedly suspended above said drawer where said drawer is inserted within said receptacle located to encounter media stacked in said drawer above a predetermined height.
2. The media height limiting apparatus as in claim 1 in which said drawer has a smooth inclined exit dam surface on the side toward which said barrier moves encountered media.
3. The media height limiting apparatus as in claim 2 in which the regions of said drawer under said media in said drawer are higher under where said barrier initially encounters said media than under where said barrier is located upon final insertion of said drawer.
4. The media height limiting apparatus as in claim 3 also comprising an inclined region between said region under where said barrier initially encounters said media and said region under where said barrier is located upon final insertion of said drawer.
5. The media height limiting apparatus as in claim 4 also comprising a rear paper restraint in said drawer movable within said drawer, said region under where said barrier initially encounters said media and said inclined region being integral with said rear paper restraint.
6. The media height limiting apparatus as in claim 1 in which regions of said drawer under said media in said drawer are higher under where said barrier initially encounters said media than under where said barrier is located upon final insertion of said drawer.
7. The media height limiting apparatus as in claim 6 also comprising an inclined region between said region under where said barrier initially encounters said media and said region under where said barrier is located upon final insertion of said drawer.
8. The media height limiting apparatus as in claim 7 also comprising a rear paper restraint in said drawer movable within said drawer, said region under where said barrier initially encounters said media and said inclined region being integral with said rear paper restraint.
This invention relates to apparatus to load paper in an imaging device such as a printer or copier. This invention prevents excess paper from being loaded.
The paper pick mechanism of the kind shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,527,026 to Padget et al. employs a drive roller on a pivoted arm and excess paper height is unacceptable as the device requires at least a predetermined downward angle of the arm for reliable functioning. When the stack is too high, drive rollers tend to slip on the top sheet rather than move it. Accordingly, the paper stack height must be controlled.
Additionally, the preferred implementation of the paper tray employs a sloped, smooth surface, termed a dam, as the initial surface against which the paper is moved by the drive rollers. The dam-style paper tray is essentially a box into which the paper or other media is dropped. There is no physical element, such as the commonly used buckling ledge (termed a corner buckler), under which the media must be positioned.
With the absence of a corner buckler, no physical stack limiter is present in the paper tray itself. Typically, a label is placed on the side of the tray to show maximum stack height, and the user must voluntarily comply with the indication on the label. Accordingly, filling the tray above the defined point is easy and might frequently occur, which would contribute to paper feed failures.
This invention successfully prevents tray overloading in a dam-style paper tray. It does so without compression of the paper stack which might be an added source of feed failure.
In accordance with this invention a height barrier is located above the drawer of the paper tray. The drawer is pulled out to load paper, and then pushed into the paper tray. If the media stack in the drawer is high enough to encounter the barrier, media which encounters the barrier is pushed off of the top of the media stack as the drawer is further moved into the tray. The pushed media will emerge at the front of the drawer. The operator will remove that paper intuitively as it must be removed to complete insertion of the drawer.
To assure that the media is not pressed by the height barrier during the next paper feed, the drawer has an elevated bottom region near its side opposite the front or dam side. The height barrier encounters the paper stack initially where it is elevated by being on the elevated region. As the drawer moves further, the elevated region moves past the height barrier. This leaves an empty space under the height barrier and the top of the stack, thereby assuring the barrier does not press the stack when paper is fed. In the specific embodiment, a movable back paper restraint is integral with an elevated region and then an inclined region.
The details of this invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which FIG. I illustrates a paper tray drawer and the feed and barrier elements of the paper tray from the right side, showing one shingling barrier; FIG. 2 is a similar view from the left side, showing the second shingling barrier; FIG. 3a, FIG. 3b and FIG. 3c are stylized drawings showing a sequence of operation, and FIG. 4 shows excess paper to be removed by an operator of the imaging apparatus.
FIG. 1 illustrates a paper tray drawer 1, which is pulled out to load paper into drawer 1. Fixedly suspended on shaft 3 over the location of drawer 1 is a stationary support frame 5 and a pivoted drive arm 7, which drives rollers 9a and 9b which rest on the top of paper in drawer 1. Such driving of paper from a pivoted arm is described in the foregoing U.S. Pat. No. 5,527,026 and forms no part of this invention.
Power to the drive arm 7 is supplied by an electric motor 11 which is also supported on frame 5. The frame 5 is permanently supported as part of a paper tray for a printer 13 (FIG. 4). Drawer 1 moves relative to the frame 5 in a receptacle 14 formed by an opening in printer 13.
On the bottom right of frame 5 is a downwardly extending tooth 15a. Tooth 15a encounters and shingles paper as will be described.
An adjustable rear barrier or restraint 17 is moved manually to a position corresponding the length of paper or other media stacked in drawer 1 between the front dam 19 and restraint 17. Barrier 17 is held in each position by entering one of a series of detent ridges 21, as is conventional.
Ledges 22a, 22b on opposite sides of drawer 1 enter slots (not shown) in receptacle 14 which support drawer 1 horizontally as it is moved in and out of receptacle 14. Until drawer 1 is almost fully inserted, coil spring 23 acting on shaft 3 rotates arm 7 upward so that drive rollers 9a, 9b do not encounter paper.
FIG. 2 shows a similar view from the left. A second shingling barrier 15b, also part of frame 5, is located opposite barrier 15a and at the same height with respect to drawer 1. Also shown in FIG. 2 is an upward inclined region 17a, which is integral with rear restraint 17, and a flat region 17b, which is integral with restraint 17 and inclined region 17a. Region 17b is therefore higher than the region 1a immediately forward of inclined region 17a. Rear barrier 17 is adjustable to location toward an away from the front of dam 1 until incline 17a encounters a permanent barrier 1d.
Region 1a is not significantly wider than restraint 17. The region 1b, which is forward and on the side of region 1a is flat and somewhat higher than the region 1a, which is also flat. Paper in drawer 1 is supported by the higher flat region 1b rather than smaller, lower region 1a.
In use, drawer 1 is pulled out and a stack of paper or other media 25 placed in drawer 1. FIG. 3a shows this status before drawer 1 is pushed back to its final position.
FIG. 3b shows the status after the printer has been pushed toward its final position in the direction shown by arrow 27. With reference to FIG. 3a, as drawer 1 is moved in the direction of arrow 27 (FIG. 3b), the shingling barriers 15a, 15b will strike the trailing edge of media 25 which exceeds a predetermined stack height of media 25. As the tray is further moved to its final position, as shown in FIG. 3b, the shingling barriers 15a, 15b have forced excess media over dam 19 and out of the front of drawer 1.
FIG. 4 shows the outside of a printer 13 generally in the status of FIG. 3b with drawer 1 partially inserted. The operator will pull away the excess paper 25, and that will be intuitive as the excess paper 25 is obviously being rejected and it prevents fill insertion of drawer 1.
Drawer 1 is then inserted to its final position, as shown in FIG. 3c. Arm 7 is rotated to its active position by a camming action of drawer 1 about its final 1/4 inch of insertion of drawer 1 and is therefore shown in its down position. Shingling barrier 15a, 15b are over the lower region la and therefore are not pushing down on the stack of media 25.
With the drawer 1 so located in its final position without excess stack height of media 25 and without the media 25 being pinched by barriers 15a, 15b, the paper feed mechanism comprising arm 7 will reliably feed the top sheet of media 25 from the stack in drawer 1.
As an alternative to the lower-level bottom of drawer 1, the drawer 1 could enter a drop area after partial insertion. The drawer 1 would be inserted as described and come in contact with shingling barriers 15a, 15b sufficient to pass excess media 25 out as described before drawer 1 enters the drop area. Upon subsequent movement of drawer 1 to the final position, drawer 1 would enter a lower support member that would allow a gap to exist between the shingling barrier 15a, 15b and the media 25.
It will be apparent also that the drawer 1 need not be part of a paper tray which is fixedly integrated into printer 13 as shown in FIG. 4. Instead one or more paper trays can be attached to printer 13 as accessories as by stacking them under printer 13.
Other alternatives will be apparent or can be anticipated.

VA Health Care:
Weaknesses in Policies and Oversight Governing Medical Equipment Pose Risks to Veterans' Safety
GAO-11-591T: Published: May 3, 2011. Publicly Released: May 3, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(206) 287-4860
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses patient safety incidents at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and potential strategies to address the underlying causes of those incidents. VA operates one of the largest integrated health care delivery systems in the United States, providing care to over 5.5 million veterans annually. Organized into 21 Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN), VA's health care system includes 153 VA medical centers (VAMC) nationwide that offer a variety of outpatient, residential, and inpatient services. In providing health care services to veterans, clinicians at VAMCs use reusable medical equipment (RME), which is designed to be reused for multiple patients and includes such equipment as endoscopes and some surgical and dental instruments. Because RME is used when providing care to multiple veterans, this equipment must be reprocessed--that is, cleaned and disinfected or sterilized--between uses. VA has established requirements for VAMCs to follow when reprocessing RME, which are designed, in part, to help ensure the safety of the veterans who receive care at VAMCs. This testimony, based on our May 2011 report, which is being released today, examines issues related to veterans' safety, including (1) selected reprocessing requirements established in VA policies, based on their relevance to patient safety incidents and (2) VA's oversight of VAMCs' compliance with these selected requirements.
In summary, we found that the VA reprocessing requirements we selected for review are inadequate to help ensure the safety of veterans who receive care at VAMCs. Although VA requires VAMCs to develop devicespecific training for staff on how to correctly reprocess RME, it has not specified the types of RME for which this training is required. Furthermore, VA has provided conflicting guidance to VAMCs on how to develop device-specific training on reprocessing RME. This lack of clarity may have contributed to delays in developing the required training. Without appropriate training on reprocessing, VAMC staff may not be reprocessing RME correctly, which poses potential risks to veterans' safety. VA headquarters officials told us that VA has plans to develop training for certain RME, but VA lacks a timeline for developing this training. We also found that despite changes to improve VA's oversight of VAMCs' compliance with selected reprocessing requirements, weaknesses still exist. These weaknesses render VA unable to systematically identify and address noncompliance with the requirements, which poses potential risks to the safety of veterans. Although VA headquarters receives information from the VISNs on any noncompliance they identify, as well as VAMCs' corrective action plans to address this noncompliance, VA headquarters does not analyze this information to inform its oversight. According to VA headquarters officials, VA intends to develop a plan for analyzing this information to systematically identify areas of noncompliance that occur frequently, pose high risks to veterans' safety, or have not been addressed across all VAMCs. To address the inadequacies we identified in selected VA reprocessing requirements, GAO recommends that VA develop and implement an approach for providing standardized training for reprocessing all critical and semi-critical RME to VAMCs and hold VAMCs accountable for implementing this training. To address the weaknesses in VA's oversight of VAMCs' compliance with selected requirements, GAO recommends that VA use information on noncompliance identified by the VISNs and information on VAMCs' corrective action plans to identify areas of noncompliance across all 153 VAMCs and take action to improve compliance in those areas.

|Rich Man Getting a New Heart
A doctor tells a rich old man that he's
going to die if he doesn't get a new heart
The old man tells the doctor to search
the world for the best heart available,
money is no object. A few days later the
doctor calls the old man and says he has
found three hearts but they are all
The old man reminds the doctor that he is
filthy rich and implores him to tell him
about the donors they came from.
'Well, the first one belonged to 22 year
old marathon runner, never smoked, ate
only the most healthy foods, was in peak
condition when he was hit by a bus. No
damage to the heart, of course. But it
costs $100,000!'
The old man, waving off the last part
about the cost, asks the doctor to tell

'This one belonged to a 16 year old
long-distance swimmer, high school kid.
Lean and mean. Drowned when he hit his
head on the side of the pool. That
heart'll set you back $150,000!'
'Okay,' said the old man, 'what about
the third heart?'
'Well this one belonged to a
58 year-old man, smoked three packs of
cigarettes a day, weighed over 300
pounds, never exercised, drank like a
fish... this heart is going for
'Five-hundred grand?!?!', the old man
exclaimed, 'why so expensive?'
'Well', said the doctor, 'this heart
belonged to a lawyer, so it was
never used!'

Bath ran riot in the first half with five tries on their way to a 33-18 bonus point win over London Irish in their Aviva Premiership game at The Rec.
Flanker Guy Mercer scored two tries to go along with one each from Jonathan Joseph, George Ford and Rob Webber, as Bath built up a 33-10 lead at half time - but they failed to add a single point to that tally in the second half.
Shane Geraghty scored all of Irish's points, including two tries, a conversion and two penalties as the visitors fought back gamely.
Bath had forced three penalties in as many minutes before Joseph, the England centre who left Irish for Bath during the summer, touched down for the opening try after just six minutes.
Geraghty responded with a penalty on 11 minutes, but a quick onslaught was to come from the hosts, as Mercer crossed for his first try on 19 minutes when Ford took a quick line-out to put his flanker over unopposed before then adding the conversion.
The 20-year-old playmaker then showed yet another side to his game as he broke brilliantly from 60 metres, evading Tom O'Leary and just managing to ground the ball despite Marland Yarde's last-ditch tackle. The conversion was his too and Bath were 21-3 ahead with just 27 minutes played.
A couple of minutes later, Ford's inch-perfect penalty kick to the corner allowed Webber to score from a conventional catch-and-drive.
For once, Ford's conversion was miss-hit and he then allowed Geraghty to drive over and through him in the opposite corner to claim the Exiles' first try, expertly converted by the fly-half.
But Bath claimed a four-try bonus point after the visitors' defence went AWOL on the right and Mercer scored again, with Ford converting.
As if a 33-10 deficit was not a tough enough hill to climb, Irish hooker David Paice was yellow-carded on the stroke of half-time for retaliation.
Geraghty pulled back three point two minutes after the restart but Bath, despite losing another second row, Dominic Day, to an ankle injury, just moved the versatile Matt Garvey up into the second row.
Bath enjoyed very little possession, too often spilling the ball that did come their way while the Exiles were far more competitive in the line-out and at the breakdown.
The reward for a far more committed second-half performance came on 68 minutes when Geraghty claimed a try on the left after taking advantage of a rebound. But his conversion attempt was wide and Bath still led 33-18.
With fresh legs on the field, the home side roused themselves for the last 10 minutes but lacked the accuracy of their first-half display.

Hoisington Middle School Student Council recently held a food drive benefiting the Hoisington Food Bank. HMS Student Council challenged each grade to bring as many items as possible, the grade providing the most items would get to form a human assembly line to fill the truck. The students contributed a total of 670 items with sixth graders getting to fill the truck. "This was a wonderful way for HMS students to provide service for their community," organizers said.

As a janitor member of SEIU Local 32BJ, I truly understand why being a part of this union is important. It's not just about having more members, more strength and good contracts, benefits, salaries and respect. It's about standing together across the United States.
Thanks to SEIU, I have better conditions in my life, as do other members, while nonunion workers in this country are often treated like slaves with discrimination and abuse.
I'm very proud to be an SEIU member because I witness the constant fight for justice for workers and their families. We are not alone in our struggles and Max Fraser's piece doesn't get that.

Press Room
Employee Spotlight
The newest member of the NAAG staff has made quite an impact in her first eight weeks on the job. Ellie Simmons, program assistant for the National Attorneys General Training and Research Institute (NAGTRI), has quickly become an important part of the team.
"Ellie is very meticulous and doesn't let anything fall through the cracks," says Bill Malloy, NAGTRI program coordinator.
Ellie takes pride in her organizational skills. Regularly after training sessions she compiles data on attendance and evaluations for internal use. This attention to detail makes it easier for NAAG to improve and expand its training capabilities. "I help make sure conferences are set up and run as smoothly as possible and that we are reaching [AG] staffs effectively."
Created in 2007, NAGTRI has become a popular training program offered to Attorneys General staff on various legal issues. Last fiscal year, NAGTRI trained over 1,800 assistant attorneys general.
Ellie enjoys her work, and has quickly learned how to become an asset to the NAGRTI effort. "I find my work very rewarding. It is great to see a meeting in action, and see all the hard work pay off."
A recent graduate of Washington and Lee University, Ellie is a native of Jacksonville, Fla. During her undergraduate studies as a psychology major, she also received a minor in poverty studies, spending several hours a week performing community service. Ellie recently worked as a volunteer in a free health clinic, an experience she said is eye-opening and worthwhile.
