“You might be wondering why I’ve included information about nonhospital VBACS when the possibility of uterine rupture exists. The answer is that there will always be reasonable women who choose to have VBACS in out-of-hospital birth centers or at home.

The fact is that there is less than a 1 percent chance of uterine rupture.1 (When obstetrician Bruce Flamm–a leading VBAC pioneer–and his colleagues evaluated the VBACS of 11,000 women in southern California in 1994, the rupture rate was .5 percent.) Thousands of women have had VBACS in homes and birth centers, sometimes after multiple cesareans, with no problems whatsoever. But when a rupture happens, a cesarean must be performed within 30 minutes. A 1993 California study found that to avoid any neurological damage to the baby, the cesarean should ideally take place in 17 minutes or less.”

Michelle Malkin: Sheryl Crow’s dirty sleeves

April 24, 2007Jenny Marie Hatch

Sheryl Crow’s dirty sleeves
Paul and I have enjoyed a few good belly laughs at Ms. Crows expense these past two days.
My suggestions for conserving all revolve around motherhood.
1. Give birth at home
2. Breastfeed
3. Cook from scratch
4. Use cloth diapers (set a goal for using them about half the time)
5. Use Cloth menstrual pads (again, use them about half the time)
6. Learn how to live with one car by using the bus and bikes to make up the difference
7. Buy clothing at thrift stores and garage sales, especially shoes, coats, and jeans
8. Plant a garden – even if just a small kitchen herb garden
9. Store grains and beans and use them for meals three days a week (buy in bulk)
10. Use environmentally safe cleaners to wash clothes and dishes
11. Go on vacation within an hours drive of your home
12. Live by the mormon motto: “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!”
I hope the hollywood set continues to rail on Americans about conservation. The hypocrisy factor is simply delicious.

White flag Harry Reid. We are losing this war, and the troops are liars.
The man has no shame.

HuffPO: The Quotable Brian Williams

The Quotable Brian Williams
The talking head does not have a whole lot of respect for the Blogosphere. He was talking to Journalism Students when he dissed bloggers. Does this really help them grasp the reality of the situation?
Reminds me of Jeff Cushing and his one sided piece for the Daily Camera.
Go Here and Here
I sort of feel sorry for the journalism students. All that money and time….wasted….
Oh Well….sniff….sniff…
