CPM's (Certified Professional Midwives) still do attend home births, but this is not considered unattended. The stipulations are that they cannot accept insurance coverage, and there is no legal recourse for parents who believe she was negligent. That coupled with the fact that unattended births are misdemeanors in many states, but are largely unenforceable. Water births are a different story, because the mother cannot lie about the baby "coming so fast that I had no choice". This is more than just a philosophical point. How would you feel if there was a complication resulting in the death of the child? Would you say "Oh, well, it's how nature works"? How would your husband feel if it resulted in YOUR death? No wonder he's apprehensive. Of course it's your choice, don't get me wrong - but consider your husband's thoughts in this scenario. He has valid reasons for what he thinks.

Wash your foot in the morning. 2. Sterilize a pin or needle and lance it from the side, towards the center of the blister. 3. Gently press out the fluid. 4. Apply some polysporin and cover it tight with a bandage during the day.

Pick up a booklet at the DMV and read it. Why not enroll in a driver training school? Most schools issue your license through them. The real trick is continuing to practice once you have the license. The moment you get that little card is NOT the end of your training. It's simply the beginning of it. Your first hydroplaning incident, your first patch of black ice, your first deer road-kill, your first flat tire at highway speeds...they can't teach that in Driver's Ed. It is to be savored in real-time. Ahhh, the excitement that's in store for you, my friend. Good times.

When the gas is depressed, the engine engages the transmission through fluid friction. The harder you press, the faster the engine runs. This in turn engages the transmission more forcefully, and the car picks up speed. Manual transmission cars have the same two pedals, but also have a clutch. The engine is connected to the drive-train (the parts that turn the wheels) when the clutch is not pushed in; press on the gas and the car goes faster. If you want to change gears, you push in the clutch - this temporarily disconnects the engine from the drive-train, allowing you to select another gear. The you let the clutch back out, and the engine is now re-connected to the drive-train using different gearing (faster, slower, or reverse). You're fifteen - learn to drive on a manual (standard) car. Learn to drive that and you can then easily drive an automatic. Learn to drive an automatic only, and you've created a set of problems for yourself. Let's say your friend is completely wasted and asks you to drive him home in his car. Oops, it's a standard, you only know how to drive automatic. Your other drunk friends say, "Hey, we'll drive you home". He gets in, and you find out later that they got into an accident. Learn on a standard. mikishots Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:19:04 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/manual_versus_automatic_transmission 386541 They are expensive, but the real hard part is that they can afford to be very selective about who attends. They have a very long history of producing top students. This is not by chance - they make sure that the students they admit are exceptionally bright. If not, they can still get in if they are wealthy (works just like everything else in life, no surprises there). The reputation of the school (and the funding, grants and financial support they receive) depends on this. mikishots Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:08:47 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/harvard_yale_princeton_etc 386530 Well, if it's from motion sickness, dramamine or hyoscine (Gravol and other drugs like it).

This has a much more personal angle on it because it doesn't simply mean lack of knowledge ( I know nothing about astrophysics; does this make me an ignorant person?); it can mean that the person has somehow been exposed to the facts but is too uneducated or slow to understand them. So, rather than just being a simple solitary definition of "lacking knowledge", it can be taken as a very harsh insult. mikishots Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:52:08 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/ignorance 386511 Sure they do.
