I'm just looking for a nice, tidy, simple place with housemates similar.

My name is Alex and I have been in Darwin for well over a year now. I am a very relaxed, curteous, clean and active person. During the week i'm hardly around, as I leave for work early and don't get back till late. I'm usually in bed by 9:30pm most nights also so it would be much appreciated if you would be quiet around this time. I'm a quiet person and I like my own space most of the time, I enjoy living with quiet courteous people that don't mind a friendly chat on the balcony or sharing a meal with one another. I am not looking to live in a party house or in a house with more than 3 people. I have been advised that we aren't renewing our lease as my flatmate is moving away! So i'll be looking for a place to either move into or to share with a person! Ideally I would like to be in the City and have a secure car park.
I have a Jack Russel who is awesome but he doesn't have to be with me ( and isn't always as he hates the heat). I work full time, don't smoke and can cook up a storm. I am quiet and keep to myself but I enjoy a wine and a chat.
We are an easy going couple and both work full time. Will be moving up from the Gold Coast. We have a 2 year old Dobermann X Kelpie.

Hi I'm Mel. Friendly, no judgements and a positive outlook. I'm from SA but have made here my semipermanent home for now. I'm a bartender/waitress at this point. I enjoy going for a skate on my longboard just along the foreshores, nothing extreme. I like nutrition and health. I play piano. I'm not huge on partying/drinking all the time personally myself but every so often i'll have some fun and I don't mind people who do frequently. Gotta be forward, I'd like my own bathroom and will negotiate to pay the bit extra for this. I'm a tidy and clean housemate and would appreciate a housemate/s who also are. Enough of my demands, chuck a message if you're looking too :)
Pilot looking for work. Have listed 4 weeks, but really unsure about how long due to the fact work may not base me in Darwin!

I'm working at the hospital on a short term contract from end of March. It's currently 4 months but could be extended. I want my own space and a place that will allow me to have my dog Mickey also - he's a rescue dog and I love him to bits. He's only little (chihuahua/ Maltese) and very well behaved, as am I. I love to cook, swim and do yoga. I'm very easy going. I'm neat and tidy I.e. house proud. I could stay on site @ hospital for free but given length of contract would like a granny flat or similar closing to hospital. I have great references. Cheers. D

"I usually wear a 7 1/2 and I purchased a size 7 based on other reviews for this shoe. It couldn't have worked out more perfect. These shoes are extremely comfortable and really cute."

Cute in white
"I was looking for a cute little white sandal, and these were perfect. Because they are by a European company, the size does run a bit small for me (I wear a size 8 which is similar to the size 38); my foot fits the shoe very closely from heel to toe.My only complaint about the shoe is that I had to send the first pair I received back because of what appeared to be a stain on the white fabric. The second pair I received had similarly colored blemishes but in more discrete places, so it was less of an issue."

Disclosure: I sell a couple books that teach programming to kids (and are free to download). I don't personally view them as being in competition with Hackety Hack, but someone else might.
Hackety Hack was a project originally started by _why the lucky stiff to teach kids programming in Ruby. It often comes up in "I want to teach my kid programming" forum threads. So I downloaded Hackety Hack and decided to give it a try.
I found Hackety Hack to be frustrating and was very unimpressed with it, and do not recommend it as a way to teach programming to a beginner.
It's kind of crap.

The long awaited film commissioned by the John Wesley Powell Museum is ready. "Journey into the Great Unknown" will have its world premier viewing in the museum theatre at 7 p.m. on May 21, followed by a gala reception to meet and greet some of those who helped make this a reality.
This film has been beautifully made by renowned film maker Gray Warriner and Camera One Productions. It stars some Green River locals, including Kelly Bayless as Major Powell, and many boatmen from a number of the outfitters in this region. But the grandest, and most beautiful and fascinating stars are the world famous Green and Colorado Rivers. Calm and serene to thundering danger the allure shines through every scene.
Follow the heroic journey of John Wesley Powell's first expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers, the last unexplored and unmapped territory in these United States. This intrepid crew had no idea what they would encounter on this journey. They did not know if they would survive, much less complete their survey and scientific studies of this region. Travel along with these brave men, experience their fear, exhilaration, wonder and pride.
To enhance this exciting event the museum will be hosting the Camera One "Rivers" Film Festival. On May 20, and May 21 three of Gray Warriner's productions about western rivers and attractions will be shown.
Schedule of Events May 20, Lake Powell 7 p.m. Saturday May 21, Hovenweep 11 a.m. Lewis and Clark 2 p.m.
"Journey into the Great Unknown," premier at 7 p.m. Reception to follow showing.

opportunity to play with his brother on a special team
was too much for Jake Matthews to pass up
by Rusty Burson
12th Man Magazine
Shortly after the conclusion of the 2012 football season, Texas A&M offensive tackle Jake Matthews approached his father in search of some sage paternal advice.
The 6-foot-5, 305-pound Matthews had just completed his outstanding junior season in which he had played an integral role in helping the Aggies lead the Southeastern Conference in rushing, passing, scoring and total offense and rank third nationally in total offense and scoring offense. The multi-talented Matthews had earned first-team All-American honors from the Football Writers of America Association and had garnered first-team All-SEC recognition from the league's coaches and the Associated Press.
He'd accomplished many of the goals he had first envisioned when he arrived in Aggieland as part of the heralded 2010 recruiting class, and he knew that if he placed his name in the 2013 NFL Draft—like fellow A&M offensive lineman Luke Joeckel had chosen to do—he could fulfill a lifelong dream and would likely go in the top half of the first round.
- Bruce Matthews, NFL HOFer and Jake's dad
Matthews fully understood all that could be gained by following the money to the NFL. But it wasn't until he spoke to his father that he fully began to comprehend what could be lost by not following his heart and staying for his senior season at A&M.
Jake Matthews would love to one day follow in his father's legendary NFL footsteps, as Bruce Matthews played 19 seasons with the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.
The elder Matthews played in more games (296) than any positional player in NFL history at the time of his retirement in '01 and earned 14 consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl. The former All-American from the University of Southern California is arguably the greatest offensive lineman in NFL history.
Bruce played so well and did so many things right that he has almost no regrets about anything associated with his sensational professional football career.
But there is one thing he'd do differently if he could go back in time, Matthews said recently from the Titans' headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., where he is the team's offensive line coach. That one thing is what he told Jake about when his son approached him seeking advice.
"My experience in college football at USC was incredible," said Bruce, who paved the way for Charles White and Marcus Allen to win Heisman Trophies. "We had the program rolling. My freshman year we had six future No. 1 draft picks on our offensive line. There was a lot of really good football being played. But in looking back, I wish I had embraced the moments and enjoyed the college experience more instead of just thinking about moving on to the NFL.
"I told Jake that if he enjoyed A&M as much as he appears to be enjoying it, there's no hurry to go to the next level. I said, 'God has a plan for your life. Don't think you are going to miss out on anything in the NFL by coming back to A&M.' He also wanted to play with (his younger brother and starting center) Mikey. The success the team had last year was also a huge factor. We're all confident they are going to do great things this year. We've also been blessed financially so going to the next level is not something he needs to do. I think he made the right decision for him. He loves A&M and is intent on fully enjoying his senior season. It should be really special for him."
It could also be special for the Aggies thanks in large part to Matthews' decision to return. Last season, Luke Joeckel became the first A&M player to ever win the Outland Trophy. The imposing left tackle elected to forgo his senior season and was chosen last April by Jacksonville with the second overall pick of the first round.
Joeckel's early departure leaves a huge void from last year's offensive line, which may have been the best overall unit in school history. But replacing Joeckel seems far more manageable because of Matthews' decision to return. Matthews makes the move from right to left tackle, while extremely talented junior Cedric Ogbuehi transitions from guard to right tackle.
If Ogbuehi returns for his senior season in 2014 and everything goes as planned, it's not too far-fetched to envision A&M producing three consecutive left tackles who are selected among the top 10 picks in three consecutive NFL Drafts.
"All three of us—Luke, me and Cedric—were all part of the same recruiting class," said the understated, well-spoken Jake Matthews, one of the early favorites for the 2013 Outland Trophy. "We take a lot of pride in what we've accomplished so far at A&M and what we can do down the road. It's cool to hear all the great things that Luke is doing already in the NFL. He is such a great player. I just think this is a really special situation for me in terms of getting a chance to play left tackle this year, playing with my brother and building on what we've already done.
"A&M has been everything I hoped it would be when I first began dreaming of coming to school here. I've made great friendships, and I've loved the atmosphere here on game days. I have enjoyed it so much that I didn't want to leave yet."
That's music to the ears of grateful A&M fans, coaches and teammates. And perhaps they should all send a sincere thank you letter to the former Amanda Hinkle, who indirectly played a role in first leading Jake's older brother, Kevin, to Aggieland in 2005.
The Matthews family is a building an increasingly impressive legacy at A&M, and it all started with Kevin's decision to walk-on instead of taking scholarship offers at Oklahoma State or UTEP so he could stay close to his girlfriend at the time, who is now his wife.
Bruce Matthews first moved to Houston after he'd been drafted by the Oilers in the first round in 1983. He and his wife, Carrie, whom he met at a dining hall at USC, began raising a family that now includes seven children.
They planted some roots in the Houston area until Oilers owner Bud Adams moved the franchise from Texas to Tennessee following the 1996 season. Matthews played the final five seasons of his brilliant career in Tennessee and then moved back to the Houston area with his family on a full-time basis.
As Kevin grew and developed, he became a solid prep offensive lineman at Elkins High School in Missouri City. Entering his senior year, Kevin received several scholarship offers—the most attractive from Oklahoma State—but a couple of factors played into his decision to instead walk on at A&M.
First, he wasn't intimidated by the walk-on process. His older cousin, Kyle, had walked on at USC in 2000, earned a scholarship as a safety and played on the Trojans' 2003 national title team. He also knew his cousin, Clay III (now with the Green Bay Packers and a four-time Pro Bowler), was walking on for the Trojans at that same time.
If they could do it, Kevin figured, so could he. And there was something about A&M that continually attracted him. The first prospect letter he had ever received was from A&M, and even though the Aggies were not offering a scholarship, he believed Aggieland was the right place for him.
"I went up to Oklahoma State, but I didn't like it," said Kevin, who was signed by the Titans as an undrafted free agent following the 2010 NFL Draft and spent three seasons with Tennessee before signing with the Redskins last spring. "Besides, I had started dating a girl from Houston, and I didn't want to get too far away from her. Her name was Amanda Hinkle. She (went) to Texas State, and I wanted to stay close to her.
- Jake Matthews
"Anyway, I came back from Oklahoma State and the next day I called A&M, and I said I wanted to walk on. I knew it wouldn't be easy to walk on, but a couple of weeks before I came here, my dad said, 'What are your goals?' I said, 'I'm going to earn a scholarship within the first year.' It wasn't easy, but it was very rewarding when I got put on scholarship in the spring of 2006 (by Dennis Franchione's coaching staff)."
Kevin, who was cut by the Redskins on Aug. 30 this year, served as a backup to All-American center Cody Wallace in '06 and '07. He quizzed Wallace regularly, learned as much as possible from the veteran and developed into a solid starter on a couple of mediocre A&M teams (2008-09) in Mike Sherman's first two seasons as head coach in Aggieland.
Kevin, who at 26 is the second oldest of Bruce and Carrie's seven kids, started the final 25 games of his A&M career, and his younger siblings thoroughly enjoyed their visits to Aggieland. Jake, who is five years younger than Kevin, says he first fell in love with A&M on those frequent visits to Kyle Field, as did Mike, who turned 19 last January.
"Kevin and I are close, even though there is a pretty big age gap between us," Jake said. "All the siblings in my family get along really well, from my oldest brother, Steven, who didn't play college football, all the way down to my youngest sister, Gwen, who will be 10 this November.
"I've been coming to A&M games since I was about in sixth grade. That is really one of the big reasons I felt so comfortable here. A&M football has always been the thing for me, especially as I was getting into high school. I've loved the place ever since Kevin was here, and it's become part of our family tradition."
Prior to Kevin's decision to walk-on at A&M, USC was at the heart of the family's collegiate football heritage. Bruce's older brother, Clay Jr., played linebacker on USC's 1974 national championship team and was an All-American as a senior in '77. Bruce also had a glorious collegiate career with the Trojans, and two of Clay's kids (Kyle and Clay III) enjoyed stellar careers at USC.
Jake considered USC, along with an array of other national powers such as Alabama, Oregon and Stanford, among others. But his heart was always at A&M, and he made an immediate impact as a true freshman for the Aggies in 2010.
Jake moved into the starting lineup when offensive tackle Brian Thomas moved inside after an injury to Evan Eike. Jake started the final seven games of the season at right tackle, helping the Aggies win their last six games of the regular season.
As a sophomore in 2011, he emerged as a cornerstone of an offensive front that allowed just nine sacks in 13 games and set school records for total yards, passing yards and scoring offense. Jake's quick success and his overall satisfaction with A&M also made Mike's decision an easy one.
Mike, ranked as the No. 2 center nationally by Rivals.com coming out of Elkins High, also considered USC, as well as a couple of other major schools. But the opportunity to follow the footsteps of two of his older brothers was one he couldn't resist. Besides, he says he'd first fallen in love with Aggieland at an A&M-Texas game at Kyle Field, and he knew from that goose bump-inducing roar that he would one day love to play in maroon and white.
Even though four-year starter Patrick Lewis was firmly entrenched as the starting center last year, Mike earned immediate playing time in 2012, benefitting from the experiences of traveling with the team and playing in seven games.
"We knew (Lewis) would be leaving after the 2012 season, so I would much rather have Mike get game experience so that starting this year it wouldn't be completely new to him," A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin said of his decision not to redshirt Mike. "He now has an idea of what it takes to prepare and the pressures to play in the SEC. He was able to play in a lot of games last year, and he had to be ready to be the next man up if something happened to Patrick.
"Now, he (was) more comfortable entering this year. We made the decision it would be better to have a guy who is possibly a three-year starter at center with some experience as opposed to having a four-year guy with no experience. He was undersized last year, but he is (6-foot-3) and up to 280 or 285 now. I have been pleased with his progress."
Likewise, Jake has also been pleased with how quickly his younger brother has taken ownership of the starting center position. In Sumlin's fast-paced offensive philosophy, the center plays a vital role in making certain that the next snap is made as quickly as possible.
Lewis acknowledged last year the fast pace was stressful on him early in the year until he fully adjusted to Sumlin's tempo. Mike Matthews is already moving and managing the offense in impressive fashion, Jake says.
"Mike is doing a real good job," said Jake, who also served as the Aggies' deep snapper last year. "I wondered if he was going to be able to pick up the offense because it is so fast. But he has done a real good job of getting a grasp on the offense and getting guys to follow him. The center is so important in setting the pace of this offense. Patrick Lewis did an incredible job last year, and he mentored Mike and groomed him for this year. I think Mike is fully prepared. There are a lot of things demanded of him, and he is doing a great job."
Sitting inside the Bright Football Complex, the normally reserved Jake Matthews laughs loudly and shakes his head playfully when he is asked about the best football player in his family.
It's a very difficult question, as the Matthews name is synonymous with big-time football. The family tree is actually a goal post, and the lineage is listed in depth chart form.
The Baldwins act; Kennedys run for political office; Jacksons sing; and the Matthews play big-time football.
Jake and Mike Matthews' grandfather was an All-American at Georgia Tech who made it to the NFL. Their uncle, Clay Jr., played 278 career games with the Browns and Falcons in 19 seasons and was a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012.
Legendary former CFL and NFL quarterback Warren Moon said this about their father on the day he retired in 2001: "Bruce was the most talented, intelligent and competitive lineman I played with in my 20 years of professional football. There may have been more physical players or intelligent players or competitive players, but no one had them all wrapped up into one package like Bruce."
- Bruce Matthews
Jake's and Mike's cousin, Clay III, was an All-Pro for the Packers in 2010 and '12 and was the NFC Defensive Player of the Year in 2010. Another cousin, Casey, was first-team All-Pac-10 with Oregon in 2010 and recorded 48 tackles last year with the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I'd have to say I'm the best of all of them," Jake said with a lighthearted laugh. "No, in all seriousness, I have to go with my dad. There have been so many great ones in my family. But in my mind, my dad is the greatest offensive lineman to ever play the game. He was such a great player. Growing up, I always enjoyed learning the game from him. Getting to see him play at the highest level was a great thing for me.
"But it is very special to be part of this family. My dad and my uncle were able to do so many things in the NFL. If I could possibly accomplish half as much as either my dad or uncle, it would be a dream come true. And my cousins have done great things, too. My youngest brother, Luke, who is 13, is probably going to be the biggest one out of all of us. You can tell he is getting to the age where he is all about football. He just senses it. With our family, it's just in our blood, and it is something that we all have in common."
It's more than merely genetics, Bruce says. The Matthews men seem to possess a sixth sense for the game.
"Football has served as a bond for us because all of our minds are kind of wired the same way," Bruce said. "It's one thing to talk about offensive line schemes and techniques, but when you can also visualize it in your mind and feel it, it gives you a big advantage. Your average fan out there probably wouldn't understand it. It's not just Xs and Os to us; there is actually a feeling to it. I have felt honored to have been involved with all the boys. It's a pleasure to watch them grow, mature and play."
This season could be especially pleasurable, as Bruce and Carrie are able to watch two of their sons play on the same field for the first time since Jake's senior year at Elkins, when Mike also started at center for the Knights. Because of Bruce's NFL coaching responsibilities, he will not see a game in person until this weekend's Alabama game, when the Titans are also in the Lone Star State to face the Texans on Sept. 15 in Houston.
He is looking forward to that game, although he admits having two sons on the same field at the same time is much more difficult than most fans might understand.
"It's very special to watch them on the same team," Bruce said. "When I watched the spring game, I was reminded how difficult it is to watch them both in high school. I like to focus in on whoever is playing that particular game. When you have two boys in the game, it makes it hard. I was like, 'Oh gosh, who do I choose to watch on this play?' I finally figured out that I will focus on Jake because he is a senior. If they show a replay, I will watch Mikey. But it really is cool to see them out there and enjoying it as much as they are. My wife and I are very proud of them both, as well as all of our kids.
"There's no question I'm still a huge SC fan, and there is no wavering in my SC loyalty. But A&M is a very special place. The relationship the A&M players have with the fans, and how they are really part of the traditions makes A&M pretty unique. Having lived in Houston for the better part of the last 30 years, I've been exposed to the power of the Aggie network and how passionate the A&M fans are. I am very proud three of my sons have been to A&M and I'm proud to wear Aggie gear when I go to games. A&M is part of the family now."
And the domino effect continues to pay huge dividends. Or in the case of the Matthews family, perhaps it should be referred to as the "pancake effect."

Law enforcement and city leaders in Hartford, Connecticut say the first year of their anti-violence task force has proven successful. The Hartford Shooting Task Force is a collaboration between several police departments, prosecutors offices, and victims organization. Len Boyle, the state's deputy chief attorney, says the task force has multiplied the number of investigators and detectives available to look into violent crimes, while also increasing penalties. Boyle says he thinks the strategy is working because the task force focuses on the small number of people who commit the highest percentage of violent crimes.
"And by targeting those people, we are able, I think, to deter some of them, who realize now that the heat is on, and also to generally deter that sort of conduct, particularly on the part of younger people. Because if it is seen that when you engage in a drive-by shooting, the police respond aggressively, it sends a message that law enforcement is in control, and it, I think, influences people's behavior."
There were eleven fewer shooting deaths in Hartford in a 12-month period that ended in July than in the previous period, and other gun crimes decreased as well. Boyle says the next goal among law enforcement officials is to engage community members more closely in efforts to stop violence.

Quins had their winning start to the season brought to an abrupt halt on Sunday as Owen Farrell led Sarries to a 18-16 win at the Stoop.
Harlequins had their winning start to the Premiership campaign brought to an end on Sunday as Saracens beat them 18-16 at Twickenham Stoop.
Sarries headed into the clash with the defending English champions on the back of a shock defeat to Exeter Chiefs, while Quins were riding high following an unblemished start to the season.
Things appeared to be going to plan for the hosts early in the match, with a third minute penalty from fly-half Nick Evans setting up an early advantage.
Sarries responded with Owen Farrell's first kick, though Quins quickly regained the lead following a second three-pointer from Evans.
Farrell then made it 6-6 on 20 minutes, and gave his side the lead for the first time in the match with another sweetly struck penalty on 34 minutes.
Quins appeared to be on the back foot when Olly Kohn was sin-binned for offside, but, despite the numerical disadvantage, the hosts were able to hit the front before half-time with the game's only try. Danny Care was the man to cross the try-line, hitting a gap in the defensive line to score, after what looked like a knock-on in the build-up was missed. Evans' conversion made it 13-9 at half-time.
Two penalties ten minutes apart from Farrell early in the second half put Sarries back in front, before Quins regained their advantage through a three-pointer from Evans, after George Kruis was sin-binned for not releasing.
Harlequins held their lead until the final six minutes of the match, but, when Evans' attempt at goal fell short, Sarries rallied. And their efforts were rewarded when a penalty handed Farrell the opportunity to maintain his 100 per-cent record with the boot and grab the spoils.
The scorers:
For Harlequins:
Try: Care
Con: Evans
Pen: Evans 3
For Saracens:

Arapahoe scored in each of the four quarters while keeping Heritage out of the end zone Aug. 30 as the Warriors won the season opener 38-0 to win the Brookridge Dairy trophy, their third victory in a row in the rivalry game.
"We played pretty well overall but we were sloppy at times," Arapahoe coach Mike Campbell said after the game. "Of course, being able to get a shutout win over a rival is a good way to open the season. But, while we did a lot of good things, we still have work to do because the season is just getting started."
After the game, Eagles coach Mike Griebel told his players not to hang their heads or listen to others because they are part of a good football team and they had to put the loss to Arapahoe behind them because it is only a tenth of the season.
"We are a very young team with more than a dozen sophomores playing their first varsity game. I think all the emotion surrounding this rivalry tonight was high and maybe a little much for our young guys," he said. "But we have talented players, we'll keep getting better and we will become a stronger, more confident team as the season progresses."
With a 1-0 record, the Warriors next play host to Rangeview at 7 p.m. Sept. 6. At the same time, Heritage seeks to rebound for their first win of the year as they are on the road at 7 p.m. Sept. 6 against Fruita Monunment.
Littleton Public Schools Stadium was packed Aug. 30 with the crowd about evenly split with those wearing Arapahoe's black and gold and those wearing the red and silver for Heritage.
The Eagles kicked off to start the game. Arapahoe took the kickoff and, with a good mix of runs and passes, drove to the Heritage 22-yard like. But they stalled there and the field goal try missed.
But, late in the quarter, the Warriors got the ball, and Jose Concanon's short run capped a six-play, 56-yard drive. The extra point gave Arapahoe a 7-0 lead with 34 seconds left in the first quarter.
In the second period, Arapahoe appeared poised for another score when it recovered a fumble on the Heritage 20-yard line. A rash of penalties nullified the first two times the Warrior got into the end zone. Finally, a 9-yard pass from Gabe Peterson to Ethan Brunhofer and the extra point made the score 14-o.
"We looked pretty good in the second quarter but there were some mistakes," Campbell said. "The mistakes resulted in us having to score three times to get credit for one touchdown."
The Warriors later mounted another drive and added a 34-yard field goal with 2:51 left in the half.
Heritage took the kickoff after the field goal and put together perhaps its best drive of the game. Freshman Mikey Griebel called the signals for the Eagles and the team used a combination of the run and pass to move the ball into Warrior territory. On the final play of the half, Griebel threw a pass into the end zone, but the receiver caught it out of bounds.
In the third period, Cancanon electrified the crowd as he burst through the line and outran defenders on an 81-yard touchdown run. The extra point made it 24-0. Late in the quarter, Peterson again lofted a pass to Brunhofer, who won the battle with the defender for the ball, pulled away from a would-be tackler and scored. The play covered 74 yards and made the score 31-0.
Early in the fourth period, the Warriors mounted a 62-yard drive that was capped by a 16-yard run by Bryan Daldegan. With 11:47 left in the game, the extra point sailed through the uprights to end the scoring.
When the game was over, the Warrior players shook hands with the Eagles then took the trophy over to the student section so everyone could celebrate the victory.
The senior Warrior quarterback said this was the best game of his life.
"This was very emotional for me because it is my second varsity start and my first time in the game as the regular starting quarterback," Peterson said. "This is a big rivalry and winning tonight was bittersweet for me in a way as I played youth football with a lot of those Heritage guys. I guess my only regret is I wish I had the pass that was intercepted back. But to get this win in the season opener is a great feeling."

Skip to comments.Video: Planned Parenthood Official Argues for Right to Post-Birth Abortion
Posted on 03/29/2013 10:37:05 AM PDT by tpmintx
Florida legislators considering a bill to require abortionists to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion were shocked during a committee hearing this week when a Planned Parenthood official endorsed a right to post-birth abortion.
(Excerpt) Read more at weeklystandard.com ...
Planned Parenthood is an oxymoron- This a planned murderous evil group of folks.
They have a logical point. There is no difference between murdering a baby who survived a batched abortion and murdering a baby in the "safety" of her mother's womb. I simply reach the opposite conclusion from their "both are okay" position.
I wonder if she would be ok if we simply do it by drone attack?
That way the Doctor, Planned Parenthood, and Obama can all satiate their blood lust at one time.
They are repulsive creatures.
They really need to include a sentence like this in any article about Planned Parenthood:
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the USA, performing over 300,000 abortions annually.
"Planned Parenthood" aka Baby Killers Inc.
This is one thing that most pro/had-aborts do NOT want to be argued.
They don't want the equating of a fetus and a baby,
because they've convinced themselves that they didn't murder a baby, just removed a fetus.
excuse me! she and PP are concerned about the logistics of transporting a baby that survives a botched abortion in a rural area to the nearest trauma center that might be 45 minutes away? what i find astounding is that she has no clue how stupendously stupid she sounds...
I think the outrage would be more widespread if they were advocating the killing of puppies.
They SHOULD be called "Planned INFANTICIDE".
I call it , "Planned Murder."
Obama is all for letting babies who survive abortion die. Pure evil.
Murderers. Every last one of them.
How did I know before looking at the video that the sopkesman would be Sandra Fluke's older, fatter sister?
"...she and PP are concerned about the logistics of transporting a baby that survives a botched abortion in a rural area to the nearest trauma center that might be 45 minutes away?"
How many abortionists operate in rural areas? This situation does not exist anywhwere in the USA. Rural areas are where conservative, God-fearing Americans live. This woman is a fool and a liar.
She wants "post-natal" abortions? OK, start with her.
"Obama is all for letting babies who survive abortion die. Pure evil."
Get in line for an Obortion.
The Republican Establishment does not see them so. For instance, the wife of the conservative Republican Speaker of the Texas house is, or was a Planned Parenthood officials, as was Mrs. Rose Perot. It has enjoyed the support of the national elite since its foundation, as the Birth-control League. Population control, especially of the poor, is their prime goal.
This is MURDER in the First Degree...DEATH to these evil perps in Planned Parenthood...slow, painful, torturous. A quick bullet to the head is too good for them. Maybe drawing and quartering, followed by a game of La Guillotine roulette...
These people are pure EVIL, as are the polititians who make their existance possible. Think Dems...Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid etc.
Perhaps after-the-fact abortion death could be administered to those evil ones who propose/practice it for the fetus and just born.
"She wants post-natal abortions? OK, start with her."
Yup! (See my post #20)
They are now putting abortion clinics in schools in Kalipornia
Florida news. this should be on every Florida TV station and in every newspaper.
I do not doubt your statement but would appreciate a bit more info..... thanks.
"I say we start implementing this policy with members of Planned Parenthood. "
'Beat me to it.
LA Roosevelt High School
Thank you sir.
Minors Reproductive Rights Act means they don't have to tell parents .... good god....
the world is run by perverts right now
Didn't hussein put that into ObamaCare? I think it's called the death panels.
I would think that there are some people where retroactive abortion to the age of 30 would do a favor to the world. Unfortunately, death sentences are not carried out often enough.
Now, let's not go all "Old Testament" on this.
It has come to this? The evil abortionists have gone to absurd lengths to convince themselves that what they just committed was not murder. This is the smoking gun in so many ways.
There's a guy on the video in the audience after she said this that is just shaking his head in disbelief.
What surprises me is how many people believe Planned Parenthood is a NONPROFIT organization.
They have no idea that it is a multi-million a year business.
Big $$$$$ is at the core of their murderous biz.
****ing psychopathic ghould who need to be locked away.
These creatures are as evil as anyone who has ever been on earth.
The words I want to use to describe these pieces of filth would get me banned from this forum..these "people" if I can call them that are SICK MURDERERS..these are the same freaks of nature that want "Gun control" but have NO problem killing babies..sick, these "people" are sick sick sick!!
As predicted by many "radical" conservatives.
Consider if the tables were turned slightly... say the baby was healthy heart-beating and breathing just fine. Would this witch have the same transport concerns if the mother post-abortion were having heart arythmias and dire breathing problems? Seems to me, if anything, her concern would be greater for a "living thing" that weighed 100 times as much and was 50 times bigger, vis-a-vis "transport logistics".
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
So much for it being a woman's BODY at stake. It's about her desire to shrug HER responsibilities to HER baby(ies). Kill the baby even after it's been born.
A man doesn't get such a way out. He's on the hook financially for 18 years or else branded a DEADBEAT.
Feminazism is vile.
Planned Parenthood never seems to come to the defense of mothers who deliver then kill their children themselves.
I guess PP hates the competition and DIY ethic of some womyn.
Please, please, please, PLEASE tell me that this is satire...
She shouldn't be punished with a baby. She didn't want the damn thing. It was a parasite feeding off of her.
Perhaps if these women were tattooed so everyone would know that they are unfit mothers, the gene pool could more effectively shun them.
Also offer them sterilization. Everyone wants to see every dog and cat spayed and neutered. So why are there still so many abortions every year?
There comes a time when the overthrow of places like this needs to be done. If it becomes violent, then so be it. They are nothing but hired killers.
The time is imminent.
And America voted for four more years of this.
Only for liberals up the the age of 90.
Absolutely. It's the same person. Why is it ok to kill said person just because said person is in one location (the womb) not visible to people sans an ultrasound but not ok to kill the same person when it is in a different location (outside the womb)? It's either ok or it isn't. That's why, while I find Obama's vote against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act abominable, I do find it logically consistent. Was it evil? Was this Planned Death official's position evil? You betcha. It was consistent, though; evil, but consistent.

Producing "Presence in the Wild"
I love this week's program with Kate Braestrup, chaplain to the game warden service in Maine. Simply, her practical theology just makes sense to me — a daily translation of spirituality into caring, useful, deliberate action. And I'm glad we were able to add a Unitarian Universalist voice to the many diverse religious perspectives we delve into, just in the way we like to, exploring that perspective through a person's "lived theology" (Krista Tippett phrase).
This was one of our programs that came together randomly and quickly. Krista saw a reference to Braestrup's memoir a few months back, and she was curious about her story and her journey to Unitarian Universalism. We got a copy of the book, and as I read it I was immediately absorbed by its reality and humor, and by Braestrup's wisdom, searching, compassion, and gutsy movement between grief and hope.
We booked the interview, grateful that our guest was willing to drive almost two hours from her small coastal hometown to Portland, Maine, so we could record her conversation with Krista via ISDN (the best broadcast-quality audio connection possible). Right after the interview, we decided it would be a good balance to the other voices, viewpoints, and topics we've done in recent weeks, so we front-burnered it into production. You've perhaps read other producers' accounts of how some shows take time to find the right voice or precise approach, brewing like sun tea to get the best flavor. Others are like good espresso — best when ground fresh and served immediately. To me, Kate Braestrup is like that fine espresso, giving me a jolt of optimism and inspiration. (Full disclosure: I don't drink coffee, but I was a barista for a short time).
We edited, wrote, listened, edited again, tossed around titles, planned content for the Web site. Mitch took cues from the interview and laid in Cole Porter music, but he wouldn't give in to the "Sweet Home Alabama" reference near the end. And we laughed questioningly at Kate Braestrup's description of a t-shirt one cop wore in a D.C. bar crammed with law enforcement officers — words I'm sure have never before been uttered on a Speaking of Faith program. Not suitable for radio, so you'll have to listen to the unedited interview to hear them.
I exit this program with a new appreciation for the work of law enforcement officers of all kinds who are theologians in their own way, as Braestrup describes:
"Law enforcement officers, like all human beings, are presented with grand questions about life's meaning and purpose. They consider the problem of evil, the suffering of innocents, the relationships between justice and mercy, power and responsiblity, spirit and flesh. They ponder the impenetrable mystery of death. Cops, in short, think about the same theological issues seminary students research, discuss, argue, and write papers about, but a cop's work lends immediacy and urgency to such questions. Apart from my familiarity with and affinity for police culture, I was sure working with cops would take me right up to where the theological rubber meets the road."

Cat Owners: 'Beat the Heat' before Spring
Warmer weather may still be months away, but Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department wants you to "Beat the Heat" by spaying your cat in advance of her heat cycle and preventing unwanted litters from being born this spring.
Animal shelters commonly refer to spring time as "kitten season" because that is when they receive the largest influx numbers of unwanted litters that are difficult to adopt.
More Information
For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call (505) 764-1170.
That's why Animal Welfare is offering a special "Beat the Heat" campaign sponsored by PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare efforts in North America. Through the "Beat the Heat" campaign, Animal Welfare will provide $20 spay surgeries for female cats during the month of February.
Spaying & Neutering Benefits
Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for kittens as young as eight to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Spaying a female cat before the first heat cycle can be beneficial, improving the health of the pet by reducing the risk of certain reproductive cancers and infections.
This special $20 rate is available to all residents of Albuquerque.
Important: Mention "Beat the Heat"
Cat parents who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the "Beat the Heat" campaign when they schedule their appointment. This campaign is based on availability.
Thanks to the PetSmart Charities grant, Animal Welfare will provide 100 female cat "Beat the Heat" sterilizations for $20 in February.
About PetSmart Charities
PetSmart Charities' "Beat the Heat" campaign provides more than $549,700 to spay/neuter clinics to fund affordable, high-quality spay and neuter surgeries for 15,508 female cats across the nation during the month of February.
PetSmart Charities Inc. is a nonprofit animal welfare organization that saves the lives of homeless pets. More than 400,000 dogs and cats find homes each year through our adoption program in all PetSmart® stores and our sponsored adoption events.
PetSmart Charities grants more money to directly help pets in need than any other animal welfare group in North America, with a focus on funding spay/neuter services that help communities solve pet overpopulation. PetSmart Charities is a 501(c)(3) organization, separate from PetSmart Inc.
