Day 1
Today, it happened. We knew this day would come. We've been spoiled for so long, and why should the Gods spare us, when so many other parents have been suffering since the day their children were born?
Today, the boy woke up at dawn.
Okay, if not dawn, then sometime around then. Close enough. Dawn-ish. Listen, asshole, it felt like dawn, and this is my blog, so I'm calling it dawn. Sorry, was I being irritable? Sorry. I woke up at DAWN.
Which, look, on its own, not the worst thing. We can enjoy this fine summer day, in all its splendor! We can leave the house before the cancer-giving rays of 10 am arrive! We will be like the early bird! Surely that early bird doesn't start the day cursing up a storm! But the thing is. Here's the thing. We, the husband and I, are not the morning-loving types. We do not greet the day with a song and a smile. We stay up late watching "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," then we read for a while, then we eventually manage to find our way to sleep, and by then it's usually insanely late. We roll out of bed when the child wakes, which until now has been (and I write this, knowing full well that half of the Finslippy-reading population will have no sympathy whatsoever for us from this moment on) somewhere around 9.
9, or even later. Sometimes, yes, sometimes as late as 10. This is why I love him. I thought we had an understanding. He sleeps late, and I will continue to provide affection.
I tried to reason with him. When I heard his little voice singing out to us from his crib, and I saw that the big hand on the clock was at some obscenely low number, I went to him. I shook his hand, and I said, "Good sir, it is still yet an early hour. Would you not enjoy a few more hours of rest? Your parents would be most obliged, and we would start the day in good humors, and also, you're killing us with this waking up early shit. Please, I beg you. I need more sleep. Please. I'll buy you a car. Anything. Anything. Please." He probably couldn't understand most of it through all of my sobbing, but anyway, by the time I got around to "please," he had already clambered over the crib railing, monkeyed up my arms, and settled on top of my head, demanding Cheerios and Elmo, tout de suite.
But maybe this is an aberration. Maybe—probably!—some unparalleled set of events occurred in his room, like a chipmunk got caught in the air conditioner, which shorted out, causing some some sparks to fly into the room and hit that damned stuffed animal that when you hit it, it sings DEEDLE DEEDLE DOO over and over until you feel like madness is seconds away, DEEDLE DEEDLE DOO DOOP; maybe all that happened! Which I didn't see any evidence of, and I really looked, but you never know! Yes. Yes, I'm sure this won't happen again. Oh please.
Day 2
Damn, damn, damn damn.
Is it so much to ask? Is it so cruel of me to request that he sleeps until a decent hour? Or to ignore him until he goes back to sleep? Not that he would. Not that he did. I laid there for minutes that seemed like hours, listening to him singing "Momm-eee," over and over, in this singsong that I used to think was so cute and you know what I think of it now? I think he's taunting me. It's like, "Mommy, you chump, get up! Mommy, you love me too much to ignore me! The beast has risen from its slumber, and so must you, Mommy! MOMMY!" A couple of times he stopped, and I thought, oh, thank you, Lord, I knew I could count on you. Then the dog would bark—WHY DO WE HAVE A DOG? Who let him in here?—or the people upstairs would walk around—who told those people they could walk? Why didn't we hobble them years ago?—and it would start up again, the taunting, the "Momm-eee, Momm-eee."
I walked around Brooklyn yesterday like a zombie. A zombie with hair sticking up all at weird angles, like antennae. I forgot to fix the hair before leaving the house. This is not something I forget, normally. You don't know this about me, but I am all about the presentation. It's not like I'm applying eyeshadow every morning, but mascara, that's another story. But yesterday it was all I could do to apply sunscreen to both of us. I greased us up with SPF 3,000, threw him into the stroller, and lurched toward the playground, forgetting his drink, his snack, and my sanity. I stayed in the shadows and hissed at anyone who came near us. At some point Henry asked for some Goldfish, and I may, I just may, have said, "Fuck Goldfish."
No, I'm sure I didn't! Ha, ha! Wouldn't that have been terrible, had I said it! Which I did not!
Day 3
[EXPLETIVES DELETED BY TYPEPAD MANAGEMENT. We're not running a cussing factory, here. Although those were extraordinary. What's wrong with you, woman? You'd think no one else ever had to get up early.]
Day 4
Me so tired. Me not enjoying this. Me not like baby. Me want compose poem, but me not remember how.
Me sad. So sad, me.

Most houses have got studs in their walls. A stud wall comprises of metallic or wooden studs which are fixed on the ceiling, walls or floor and covered using plasterboard. Once you complete building your wall, it is painted just like any ordinary wall to conceal the studs which are installed in a vertical array and supported by horizontal plates and noggins.
Building a stud is very easy. You will need a hammer, drill, tape measure, marker, saw and a set square for the task. Before you begin working on the project, it will be a remarkable thing to consult the authorities to avoid violating any ventilation and circuiting rules since stud walls are considered to lack soundproofing qualities that are common in solid walls.
The step by step procedure of creating a stud wall is as follows:
- Fix the base and top plates. Use a marker and tape measure to plot out the place where the studs should be located. Determine the length of the wall and cut a piece of timber of equal length then nail the timber on the floor, bearing in mind that there may be some cables and wires underneath. Put the top plate directly above the bottom plate and nail it on the ceiling. Cut it a little longer so that the plate fits perfectly on the wall plates and studs.
- Place the studs between the top and bottom plates. Use factors such as the presence of corners, wall length and presence of openings to determine the exact location of the studs. Measure intervals from the centre of each stud. Place the studs in place by connecting them on the bottom and top plates. Note that each stud may vary in height and should be nailed separately.
- Install the noggins. These are horizontal braces that hold the studs in place. It is important to measure the noggins accurately because a wrong size may result in unproportional openings. The height of the wall will determine the number of rows that the noggins will fill.
- Paint the Walls.
Once you are done installing the studs, fill up any holes on the wall using plaster. Once it dries up, smoothen the surface and paint it to conceal the studs. You can start by an undercoat type of paint before covering it completely using top coat paint.
With these few steps your studs will be fully installed. You can use the thickness of the plasterboard to set accurate intervals between the studs. If the board is 9.5mm thick, the studs should be placed at most 400mm apart and if the board is 12.5mm thick then the studs can be placed as far as 600m apart.

I think there is some promise to this image, especially as a black and white, but I could be wrong. Here are both the color image and my attempt at a black and white conversion. I wish I knew someone that I could take this image to and have them give it a proper black and white treatment.

Bright Spheres Bring A Lake to Life
If all goes according to plan, by the time Tuesday morning rolls around, the lake at MacArthur Park will be bursting with an estimated 2,500 colorful spheres. Hand-painted by roughly 10,000 volunteers around the Los Angeles area — principally schoolchildren — the project, organized by the L.A.-based arts nonprofit Portraits of Hope, will add a big splash of color to one of the city's most storied civic areas. On Saturday, Ed and Bernie Massey, the brother team that founded Portraits of Hope, along with Mayor Eric Garcetti, and a team of volunteers, began releasing the brightly painted spheres — draped with images of flowers and fish — into the lake's waters.
"This project involves everything that's good about Los Angeles," Garcetti told the Times. "Great weather, open space, creativity and social conscience."
This isn't the first time that Garcetti has tossed balls into water. This month he helped deposit thousands of "shade balls" into the Los Angeles Reservoir. But the purpose of this balls-to-the-water installation, said Bernie Massey, standing atop the lakeside dock where volunteers were inflating the giant 5-foot spheres, is to get Angelenos to think about one of its most important cultural monuments.

Ask most GPs and pharmacists if they think there is scope for closer working relationships between the two professions and they invariably say yes. Ask them why they're not doing it, and they'll list all kinds of barriers, from time and money, to professional rivalry and lack of any contractual compulsion.
It's an age-old debate that seems to have been chasing its own tail for years, so is there a way to move it further towards a model of working together locally, with confidence and as
professional equals, for the sake of patient care if nothing else?
From a GP perspective, Peter Nicholas, managing partner at Hildenborough & Tonbridge
Medical Group – a large multi-site GP practice in Kent that serves a population of more than
16,000 patients – certainly sees potential for collaboration, but says, 'While the GP and pharmacy contracts continue to run in parallel but separately, there are not obvious areas to bridge the gap between them to enable more collaborative working. It is hard to say what
would need to change, whether a contractual shift or a cultural one, so I think this is something that may take a while to move forward.'
For Mimi Lau, Numark's director of pharmacy services, it has to be a two-way process. 'The
relationship between pharmacists and GPs is improving and there are many examples of how
close collaboration between the two is improving patient care. There are, however, still too many examples of where there is no desire to work together. In some cases there is a destructive relationship where GPs seek to compete with local pharmacies by establishing their own pharmacies, or directing prescriptions in favour of particular pharmacies. And it has to be said, in some cases, pharmacists are failing to communicate with their local practices, possibly fearing rejection.'
Echoing Mr Nicholas, another barrier, according to Ms Lau, is that 'the UK pharmacy contracts do not contain any requirements or incentives for pharmacists to engage with GPs, or indeed any other healthcare professionals', so while she says close collaboration makes sense, she believes 'progress will inevitably be slow and patchy where there is no incentive or other driver to encourage it'.
Pharmacy Voice is a loud advocate for closer working between GPs and pharmacists, but chief executive Rob Darracott also picks up on the same pressure points between the two areas, saying, 'Issues such as prescription direction, which continues to harm some businesses, and the current GP-centric nature of commissioning can impact on the ability to support stronger ties between the professions. Although strong working relationships and joint working are possible under current arrangements, we believe that changes to commissioning structures are necessary if a new integrated model of care is to reach its full potential for patients.'
So what exactly does collaborative working look like? For Dave Branford, chair of the EPB and chief pharmacist for Derbyshire Mental Health Trust, it's clear: 'For me, it means simply where the pharmacist and the GP work as a team.'
He thinks that the current manpower crisis in general practice could be a catalyst for more collaboration because 'GPs are desperate for help from people who are able to take away their problems and deal with their difficulties. A lot of these problems are to do with medicines, and the more GPs become overwhelmed by work, the more problematic that is going to become.'
The EPB's five pharmacy campaigns – under a programme called Shaping Pharmacy for the Future – are all focused on this, with pharmacists working in A&E, on common ailment schemes, pharmacists working with GPs, pharmacist-led care of long-term conditions, and in care homes, all aimed at getting the pharmacist to be part of the wider team.
Teamwork is obviously a given, but Alastair Buxton, PSNC's head of NHS services, says that individual roles within any collaboration have to be clearly mapped. 'Ideally, collaborative working would mean GPs and pharmacies working together to provide seamless care to patients – each provider would have defined roles within shared care pathways, and transfer between the two would be fast, easy and backed by technology,' he says.
For Mr Buxton, these more defined roles of care would benefit both GP practices and pharmacies. This would lead to more joined-up care for patients, and ensure that the NHS was making best use of resources with all health professionals working together to achieve the best outcomes.
An example of this in action is the Community Pharmacy Future project, says Mr Branford, 'which was undertaken by four of the big multiples within a couple of areas of medicines use, but as the project developed it became more encompassing, improved relations with local GPs, and involved more and different pharmacy organisations, and really built the collaboration.
'I talked to people involved in the project in Lancashire and all of them said it transforms the
job for everyone involved. For example, pharmacists find their job more satisfying as there are fewer errors and less waste. It also takes an enormous workload away from GPs, which is a weight off their shoulders, and delivers a far better service to patients, who are more likely to get their medicines, with fewer errors.'
If this is the case, what is holding the process back? According to Mr Buxton, our straitened economic times are part of the problem.
'Relationships between GPs and community pharmacies can be negatively impacted by a number of factors. In some areas we have seen GPs behaving territorially over services, for example raising objections to pharmacy flu vaccination schemes in order to protect their own services. This sort of protectionism is perhaps understandable given how tightly finances are being squeezed across the NHS, but it can be a significant block for some services.
Relationships can also be delicate where GPs perhaps do not understand pharmacy services and believe pharmacies are duplicating the efforts of the practice. The reformed NHS has seen some relationships strained as GPs have taken on commissioning powers as well as being providers.'
Mr Branford thinks a lack of 'face time' also doesn't help. 'The primary barrier is that at the moment community pharmacists and GPs are in different places, and the amount of contact between them is relatively small. Much of that contact will be around problems, with the result that the community pharmacist can appear to be opinion causing more work for the GP or pointing out that they've made mistakes.
The second problem is that we've moved increasingly towards most pharmacies only having one pharmacist in them. The solution would be to have collaborative working between pharmacies and the GP using a pharmacist based at the GP surgery who works closely as a liaison between the two.'
In fact, there is a lot of activity at the moment around embedding pharmacists in GP surgeries.
This month the EPB is launching the second of its five campaigns, which is around pharmacists and GP surgeries. 'We are proposing one model where a pharmacist would work as a member of the GP surgery staff in the key role of collaborating between other community pharmacies within the area,' says Mr Branford, 'and another model is where local pharmacists are part of the management of an area of therapeutics, and again have a pharmacist within GP practices as a liaison.'
'Another way to collaborate would be for all the community pharmacies in an area to get together more and work as a team with the GPs. Local pharmacy networks have been trying to do that but the word 'federations' is not seen in the world of pharmacy as a very helpful term – although a number of independents here in Leicester, where I am based, have come together to form a federation and have employed someone who is a liaison with GP practices.'
The RPS has worked with the NHS Alliance to produce a new report on the role that pharmacists could play in general practice (www.rpharms.com/promoting-pharmacypdfs/
nhs-alliance-pharmacists-in-generalpractice.pdf), following a roundtable discussion last autumn, which explored this opportunity.
According to Mr Darracott, Pharmacy Voice is starting to see evidence that 'the ongoing implementation of the Summary Care Record can also help closer working between GPs and pharmacy teams, [because] access to online patient records ensures that pharmacists and GPs both have maximum time to spend interacting with their patients and the public, rather than sorting through old, paper, patient records or making phone calls to busy surgeries.'
With all this in mind, how can pharmacists start to reset their working relationships with GPs?
Mr Buxton says the key is to think about how best to frame your approach – 'talking to them about ways in which you might be able to help them, and asking them what you could do differently may be better received.'
Many pharmacists have asked to go along to practice meetings, rather than asking for extra
time from GPs. 'Attending these meetings and listening to the challenges the doctors are facing may be all that is needed as a first step; offering suggestions for how you could help may follow, and then offering to proactively spend a few minutes talking them through initiatives at your pharmacy and explaining how those could benefit their patients or workload may be a good way in.
You could also try talking to your LPC and see if they can co-ordinate with the local LMC – joint training has been very successful in some areas, allowing GPs and pharmacists to meet in a less formal setting to learn and develop together.'
Mr Darracott stresses that it is vital to remember that it is about integrated care, 'not about one profession being subsumed into another. Both have their strengths, in location and expertise, and it is important we play to these, ensuring we always put the patients' health first.'
Raj Radia, from Spring Pharmacy in London, is using technology to help him build a good working relationship with his local GP surgeries.
His customers can download Numark's My Local Pharmacy mobile app for free and use it to request repeat medication. He has also implemented Numark's Pharmacy Access system, which has two components: Medicines Manager allows pharmacies to electronically transmit repeat prescription requests securely and efficiently, replacing the manual methods that take time and GP Record Viewer allows pharmacies to view certain details of a patient's health record, including medication and allergies.
The benefits include fewer patient visits to the surgery to order and collect repeat prescriptions, reducing the prescribing workload for practice staff, while for pharmacies, the visibility of the patient's health record allows pharmacists to provide safer and more effective services.
'This collaboration also makes things much easier for patients. It's a bit more work for my pharmacy, but it is retaining and gaining the business that is important,' says Mr Radia. 'GPs are often sceptics and can feel you are competing with them, but I have regular meetings
with the practices we work with, so they know what we're doing in pharmacy.'
Mr Radia also suggests arranging meetings with other local pharmacists that also deal with the practice. 'This helps the surgery as they only have to say things once, and we can all develop a similar system of working. Give it a go.'
