Gaara (我愛羅) is the Fifth Kazekage (五代目風影, Godaime Kazekage), the youngest child of the Fourth Kazekage, and the youngest brother of Kankuro and Temari and he served for a time as a major antagonist during the Chunin Exams arc. Being raised as a tool of Sunagakure, Gaara gained the nickname Gaara of the Sand (砂瀑の我愛羅, Sabaku no Gaara, English TV: Gaara of the Desert).[1]
Gaara is the son of the Fourth Kazekage and the younger brother of Temari and Kankuro. During Gaara's birth, his father ordered Chiyo to seal the One-Tailed Shukaku within him in hopes that Gaara would become the ultimate weapon for Suna. Because a sacrifice was needed, Gaara's mother, Karura, was used. Before she died, Karura cursed Sunagakure, hoping Gaara would avenge her death. Gaara was trained by his father, but raised mainly by his uncle, Yashamaru. Because of the power of Shukaku, the villagers of Suna hated and feared Gaara, seeing him only for the monster sealed within him. For a time, Yashamaru seemed to be the only person who cared about Gaara. When Gaara would mistakenly harm others due to the subconscious abilities granted to him by Shukaku, Yashamaru would be the only one who understood that Gaara hadn't intended to harm anyone. Gaara's father, however, did not see Gaara in the same light, and viewed Gaara's frequent attacks upon villagers as a result of a failed experiment that was a threat to Suna.
Because of the danger Gaara imposed, his father began sending assassins to kill him, though when all attempts met with failure, the Kazekage asked Yashamaru to kill Gaara. As a result, Yashamaru tried to assassinate Gaara, only to fail just as those before him had. Gaara dealt a lethal blow to him. But when Gaara realized that it was Yashamaru, he was horrified and screamed before bursting into tears. Although Gaara tried to dismiss Yashamaru's attack as an order of the Kazekage, Yashamaru corrected him by saying that he had willingly accepted the mission. Having never truly loved Gaara, Yashamaru hoped that killing Gaara would avenge the death of his sister, who had named Gaara after the phrase "a self-loving carnage" (我を愛する修羅, Ware wo ai suru shura), a sign of her hate for Gaara. In a last ditch effort to kill Gaara, Yashamaru detonated a number of explosive tags covering his body, asking Gaara to, "Please die." Gaara survived the blast and lost the only person he thought had cared for him.
While Gaara had initially tried to be friendly towards others despite their fear of him, Yashamaru's actions and words changed him. Realizing that nobody loved him, Gaara used his sand to create the kanji on his forehead "love" (愛) as a symbol of a "demon loving only himself." Gaara became emotionally withdrawn, all but silent, and consumed with a bitter loathing for everyone but himself and "mother," the voice of Shukaku in his head. He learned to find pleasure and eventually a reason to live in annihilating the numerous assassins sent to kill him – and by extension, anyone who threatened his existence. This was only worsened by the occasional demand by Shukaku for blood to sate its blood lust. Gaara's insomnia, forced upon him by the fear that the demon inside him would eat away at his personality if he were to fall asleep, only furthered his instability and desire to kill. In time, Gaara's father would come to appreciate Gaara and the uses he could serve, and canceled all assassination orders in the hopes that Gaara would become an effective tool.
Gaara's childhood was somewhat similar to Naruto Uzumaki's, even though more unfortunate due to his lack of anyone to call a friend. Both were lonely and desired to be liked, loved, and acknowledged as an individual, free of others' prejudices — they are themselves, not the demons they were forced to "contain" — and both were driven into a desperate state. While Naruto consequently developed the misconception that pranks and mischief would bring him the attention he sought, Gaara came to the conclusion that he could preserve and confirm his own existence by killing any and all who challenged it, securing an extreme form of existentialism as his key personality trait. In the absence of others' acknowledgment, he could compensate by valuing only himself to the exclusion of everyone else. Furthermore, while Naruto eventually had Iruka Umino and Team Kakashi to acknowledge him, Gaara never had anyone to bond with, with the exception of Yashamaru's deceitful friendliness, and did not understand the concept of fighting for anything other than himself until his confrontation with Naruto.
After being defeated by Naruto, Gaara was shocked to find that Naruto knew very well the pain that Gaara had endured all his life. He was even more surprised that Naruto never gave up hope on being acknowledged as a person and ultimately found friends who truly cared for him. Seeing the determination that Naruto had to protect his friends made Gaara question his own path in life. Realizing that he gave up too easily, Gaara decided to follow Naruto's path, wishing to become Kazekage of Suna so he could be connected to his people and hopefully have them finally acknowledge his existence as a person. Over the next few years, Gaara's determination to find happiness became apparent from his decision to rely on his own power rather than his inner demon's.
Gaara eventually formed a close friendship with Naruto. Michael kelly makes me horny
Part I
Chunin Exam arc
Gaara participates in the Chunin Exams, where he is quickly identified as a skilled competitor. He is able to pass the first phase without giving any indications that he is cheating (the objective of the test). During the second phase he demonstrated his thirst for blood by killing Team Shigure, who Gaara claimed had looked at him the wrong way. Gaara and his team finished this phase in roughly an hour, beating the previous record by over four hours, with Gaara not getting so much as a speck of dust on his clothes, a feat that would be very difficult even for an experienced ninja.
In the preliminary matches, Gaara was matched against Rock Lee. Lee's formidable speed and strength are enough to bypass Gaara's Shield of Sand completely, forcing him to rely on his secondary Armor of Sand. Despite Lee's best efforts, Gaara's sand protected him from even Lee's Reverse Lotus, which left Lee in no condition to fight after its use. Gaara used his sand to crush the weakened Lee's arm and leg, critically injuring him. Gaara tried to kill Lee, but Might Guy intervened before he could harm Lee any further. For the finals, Gaara was matched against Sasuke Uchiha. In the month before the finals Dosu Kinuta tried to kill Gaara in order to ensure that he could fight Sasuke. Gaara promptly killed him with the power of Shukaku.
In the final round matches of the Chunin Exams, Gaara was to play a major role in Orochimaru's invasion upon Konohagakure by releasing Shukaku within the center of the village. During his match with Sasuke, however, Gaara was wounded by Sasuke's Chidori, disabling him from serving his role in the invasion. With Gaara no longer in a condition to join the battle, Gaara and his siblings fled the village while the invasion proceeded without them.
Gaara was pursued by the members of Team 7 and Shino Aburame, which forced Gaara to begin transforming into Shukaku. As his transformation progressed Sasuke tried to use Chidori two additional times, but when both proved ineffective at stopping Gaara he was left exhausted. Gaara tried to kill Sasuke, but was stopped by Naruto and Sakura. Intrigued by Naruto's abilities, Gaara pinned Sakura to a tree to force Naruto to fight. When Naruto began gaining the upperhand, Gaara completed his transformation and put himself to sleep to bring out Shukaku's personality. With the help of Gamabunta, Naruto to wake Gaara up and break the transformation. With the last of their energy the two exchanged final blows, Naruto ending up claiming victory. Gaara was puzzled by Naruto's undying devotion to his friends, causing Gaara to realize that Naruto's strength came from the desire to protect those close to him. As Gaara and his siblings fled the scene, Gaara openly apologized to Kankuro and Temari, which surprised and confused them. Thanks to Naruto's influence, the defeat proves to be a major turning point for Gaara.
Sasuke Retrieval arc
Team Baki was called by the Fifth Hokage to assist the Sasuke Retrieval Squad in retrieving Sasuke when he defected from Konoha. Gaara arrived to help Rock Lee in his battle with Kimimaro. Here Gaara showed his change in personality as he worried about Lee's injuries, the same ones he gave him in the Chunin Exams, while fighting Kimimaro. In the fight, Gaara showed off several new abilities, though he couldn't defeat Kimimaro, and both he and Lee were almost killed by the Second State of Kimimaro's Cursed Seal, though they were saved only by Kimimaro dying from his own terminal disease. The two formed a friendly bond and returned to Konoha.
Pre-Shippūden filler arcs
The Sand Siblings would later appear when they become teachers at a Konoha-style ninja academy at Suna. As instructors, Gaara takes on the only student who was willing to train under him, Matsuri. Because of Matsuri's fear of weapons, Gaara trained her to use a jouhyou. When a group of people called the Shitenshounin kidnap her in order to get to Gaara, Suna calls for aid from the Konoha 11. Gaara first fought Suiko, then he caught and attacked the Shitenshounin leader, Hoki, but was captured. To escape Gaara did a partial Shukaku transformation, reviving the Takumi Village's ultimate weapon, Seimei. Gaara later destroyed Seimei with Ultimate Absolute Attack: Shukaku's Halberd, and killed Jin with a Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral.
Part II
Rescue Gaara
Having become the Fifth Kazekage during the gap in time between Part I and II, Gaara was targeted by Akatsuki, who sought to extract Shukaku from within him. Though Gaara was able to fend off one of their agents rather effectively (actually crushing one of Deidara's arms during the battle), Deidara managed to capture Gaara by threatening the village, leaving Gaara open to attack while he protected it. With Gaara unconscious, Deidara took him to the Akatsuki hideout.
Although Naruto Team Kakashi did their best to save Gaara, they did not arrive in time to stop Akatsuki's extraction of Shukaku, resulting in Gaara's death. However, Chiyo resurrected Gaara with her life-restoring technique in the hopes that it would make up for her sealing of Shukaku into Gaara years earlier, bringing Gaara back to life at the cost of her own. Gaara awoke surrounded by his friends from Konoha and the Sunagakure villagers that had gone looking for him, all relieved that he was alright. This was the first time Gaara truly felt loved and not so alone.
Before Naruto went back home, he tried to say goodbye, but admitted that it's not something he's good at. Gaara used some sand to encourage and guide Naruto's hand, and the two shake hands, symbolizing Gaara and Naruto's friendship and Gaara's new characteristics. Additionally, while the precise effect on Gaara from Shukaku's loss is still unknown, this scene shows that he has retained the ability to manipulate sand. The Third Databook later states that these powers can never be taken away. In addition, as Gaara is no longer at risk of being controlled by Shukaku, it is safe to assume his mental stability can recover and the village will no longer view him as a possible danger.
Gaara and Kankuro came to the aid of a band of Suna villagers who came under attack in Naruto the Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, also known as Naruto the movie and the stone of Gelel A group of seemingly invulnerable armored warriors attacked the shinobi, and it was only Gaara's sand manipulation abilities that saved the group from certain defeat. The sand ninja then destroyed the warship that brought the warriors, only to come under attack from knights wielding the power of the Stone of Gelel. Gaara engaged one of these warriors called Ranke, who wielded lightning powers, and was able to thwart her using his sand. When Ranke transformed into a monstrous form of greater power, she seemingly outmatched Gaara until he crushed her using Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral. By doing this he made lightning rods to drain her lightning, the jutsu was called Thunder God of Sand.
As the host of Shukaku, Gaara possessed the ability to manipulate sand, typically moving it through the air to serve various purposes. The amount of sand he can control at one time is fairly immense, as in Part II he is able to gather enough sand to cover Sunagakure as a shield. If sand is lacking in abundance, Gaara can break down the earth minerals in the ground to create more sand. While he can control any dry sand, ordinary sand requires more chakra to manipulate it, tiring him at a rapid rate. As a result, Gaara keeps his own chakra-enhanced sand with him at all times in a calabash gourd also made out of sand on his back. Because this sand is already infused with his chakra, Gaara has a great deal more control over it, enabling stronger and faster attacks with it.
During battle, Gaara rarely moves, attacking with his sand from a single location and rarely using taijutsu. When first introduced his basic means of attacks is to first use Desert Coffin to capture, immobilize, and potentially suffocate an opponent with sand. Once the opponent is subdued, he uses Desert Funeral to cause the sand to crush the opponent with varying intensities. Though he comes up with other means of attack throughout the series, the "catch and crush" tactic remains at the center of his battle style, as he attempted to use it four times on Kimimaro and failing each in Part 1, despite having new jutsu.
As the second element of his stationary combat style, Gaara has a number of sand-based defenses to be used in case an opponent gets too close. His primary defense is his Shield of Sand, an automatic sand shield that surrounds and protects him from damage whether he wants it to or not. Gaara can control the shield to some degree, strengthening it to steel-like quality or calling upon it to completely encase himself. While an effective defense, the shield can be overcome with high speed attacks or simply be broken through with incredibly forceful strikes. Should this happen, Gaara has a layer of sand covering his body called the Armor of Sand. Although it's a useful secondary defense, the armor requires large amounts of chakra to remain active and also has the side-effect of weighing Gaara down.
In addition to these basic methods of offensive and defense, Gaara also has a number of miscellaneous attacks that, while capable of being an attack or a shield, are not limited to such purposes. By making a Sand Clone of himself, Gaara can have an ally to be used in battle or a mere distraction to be used to buy him time. Unlike most other clone-jutsu in the series, the Sand Clone can retain its shape after more than one attack, and can even reform itself or capture an opponent upon being dispersed. With Desert Suspension Gaara can use sand as a platform to allow himself and others to float in the air. His Third Eye also allows him to create a floating eyeball of sand in any location that he can see through as a means of spying or to guide his attacks while completely enclosed by his defenses.
In desperate situations, Gaara can take on the form of Shukaku by layering sand on his body, making him many times more powerful than he already is. Shukaku's personality grows more dominant during this transformation, increasing Gaara's homicidal tendencies. Once finished, Gaara assumes a human-sized version of Shukaku wherein he relies on his brute strength to destroy everything around him. If need be, Gaara can almost instantly create a life-sized version of Shukaku should the human-sized form fail. In this form, he remains deep within the Shukaku copy, safe from harm though unable to move. Gaara can also unleash the spirit of Shukaku through his Feigning Sleep Technique, which forces him to sleep to allow Shukaku copy to operate at its full potential. To do so, however, Gaara must emerge from within the copy, leaving him open to attack for the duration of the jutsu. In time he begins gaining better control over Shukaku, such that he can suppress its personality by himself towards the end of the anime's filler arcs. By the time Part II begins, Gaara is even capable of using Shukaku's arms to attack numerous times without losing control of himself.
Creation and Concept
Kishimoto created Gaara to be a foil to Naruto, giving him a similar background to Naruto, where he was rejected by his peers and fellow villagers for being the host of a Tailed Beast, a situation that Kishimoto refers to as being "very much like Naruto's. He was universally rejected and ignored, living a superfluous existence." Gaara's development from this state into a highly withdrawn, sadistic character was intended to induce sympathy for him from readers, as it was contrasted against Naruto being a cheerful troublemaker.
Gaara's initial attire, along with the costumes of his siblings were difficult for Kishimoto to draw, resulting in a change of costume during the Sasuke Retrieval arc, with Gaara receiving an outfit with an upright collar. As well as being easier to draw, it was used to show the change in relationship between Gaara and Naruto following their previous fight. Kishimoto cites The Matrix, one of his favorite movies, as an inspiration for Gaara's new costume, and he considers it to be his favorite costume of the three siblings.
- According to the databook, his favorite foods are salted tongue and gizzard, his least favorite food being soft bean jam.
- Gaara was ranked as the 7th most popular character in the sixth and most recent Naruto character popularity poll. He was 10th in the fifth poll and 8th in the fourth. 7th in both the third and second polls. He also finished 7th in the first poll.
- The mark on Gaara's forehead is the kanji for "love" (愛, ai).
- Both Gaara's father and Naruto's father are the Fourth Kage of their respective villages.
- At fifteen, Gaara is the youngest Kage shown so far. However, it is unknown if he was the youngest person ever to be elected Kage.
- "I would fight only for myself and love only myself. If all other people exist to magnify that love, then there is no more a splendid world than this one."
- "Perhaps the companionship of an evil person is preferable to loneliness."
- "The corpse's bitter crimson tears flow and mingle with the endless sand, filling the chaos within me - and making me stronger."
- "I am a relic they want to get rid of, so why do I exist and live?
- "Up until now, my bonds with others have only been ones of hatred and murder. But, seeing him fight so hard made me wonder what a bond really is. I think I understand a little now. Suffering, sadness..., and joy. To be able to share it with another person. Naruto Uzumaki, when I fought him, I feel that is what he taught me."

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
104:10-18 When we reflect upon the provision made for all creatures, we should also notice the natural worship they render to God. Yet man, forgetful ungrateful man, enjoys the largest measure of his Creator's kindness. the earth, varying in different lands. Nor let us forget spiritual blessings; the fruitfulness of the church through grace, the bread of everlasting life, the cup of salvation, and the oil of gladness. Does God provide for the inferior creatures, and will he not be a refuge to his people?
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 15. - And wine that maketh glad the heart of man. The food suitable to man consists, first, of wine, which gladdens his heart (comp. Judges 9:13); secondly, of oil to make his face to shine, or give him a cheerful countenance; and thirdly, of bread, which strengtheneth man's heart, which is "the staff of life," and the main sustenance of the entire body. It was the glory of the promised land to produce in abundance these three essentials (Deuteronomy 8:8; Deuteronomy 11:14; 2 Kings 18:32).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,.... That is, by means of rain watering the earth, vines are caused to grow out of it; which produce wine, that has such a virtue in it, as to cheer the heart of man, even of a miserable, distressed, and afflicted man, as the word (p) is supposed to signify, Judges 9:13. Of this nature are (and therefore are compared to wine, or expressed by it) the love of God and Christ; the blessings of grace, the doctrines of the Gospel, the ordinances of it; particularly that of the Lord's supper, and even the joys of heaven.
And oil to make his face to shine: or, "to make his face shine more than oil" (q); and so it continues the account of the virtue of wine, which not only cheers the heart, but makes the countenance brisk and lively, and even shine again: but, according to our version, and others, this is a distinct effect of the rain, causing olive trees to grow out of the earth, productive of oil; which being eaten, fattens, and so makes the face to shine; as it also does by anointing with it, which was much in use for that purpose in the eastern countries, as well as for cheering and refreshing; see Ruth 3:3. Pliny (r) says, oil purifies or clears; and particularly of oil of almonds, he says, that it makes clean, makes bodies soft, smooths the skin, procures gracefulness; and, with honey, takes spots or specks out of the face. Kimchi makes mention of another use of oil, in lighting lamps; by which the face of man is enlightened, or light is given him. So the Targum,
"to enlighten the face with oil.''
To this the grace of the Spirit is often compared in Scripture, with which both Christ and his members are said to be anointed, Acts 10:38. This not only cheers and refreshes them, and is therefore called the oil of joy and gladness, Psalm 45:7, but beautifies and adorns them, and even makes them fat and flourishing, and so their faces to shine; as well as causes their lamps of profession to burn clearly, and the light of their good works to shine before men to the glory of God.
And bread which strengthens man's heart: the earth being watered with rain, causes the wheat sown in it to grow up; of which bread is made for the support of man's life, and is the chief sustenance of it; and is therefore commonly called "the staff of life", and, by the prophet, "the whole stay of bread", Isaiah 3:1, by which human nature is invigorated, and the strength of man is kept up and increased; for the phrase, see Genesis 18:5. Of this nature are the provisions of God's house, which go by the same name, the word and ordinances; and especially Christ Jesus himself, the true and living bread; by which the Christian's spiritual life is supported and maintained, and he is comforted and refreshed, and strengthened for every good work.

Camp Darby celebrates Earth Day 2010
April 22, 2010
Story Highlights
- Making the Earth a better place, one recycles item at a time
Related Links
CAMP DARBY, Italy- The world celebrates the 40th Earth Day April 22.
It is an opportunity to emphasize what we can do in our daily routine to protect the environment. Trash companies GEOFOR Pisa and AAMPS Livorno representatives met with servicemembers and their families at Camp Darby to explain the Italian recycling process, as well as the services they provide to help the citizens in properly dispose their trash.
"We are glad we had the possibility to be here today to make the trash and recycle process clearer to our customers," said Rosanna Barbafieri from AAMPS Livorno.
"In particular we want to highlight our new initiative on large waste items disposal." Janine Wick, US Army Garrison Livorno employee said she was glad she finally found out how easy it is to get rid of old furniture.
"AAMPS is just a phone call away," said Wick. "In fact they told me all I have to do is make a phone call, and they will set an appointment to pick up my large waste items."
Pis Letizia Filindeu, US Army Garrison Directorate of Public Works, Environmental Office explains even dividing the waste is an important step towards a possible recycle process. GEOFOR and AAMPS also clarified the different use of the various trash collectors that can commonly be found on Italian roads.
"To me it is very important to recycle," said Jimmy Roddy, US Army Garrison Livorno Director of Sports and Fitness. "Our natural resources won't last forever and this is an easy step we can take towards protecting our planet."
Italian Base Commander Col. Raffaele Iubini added he was glad the Installation had the opportunity once again to participate in this increasingly important event.
"We could not miss this opportunity to meet with the local agencies for trash collection and get more and more educated on nature respect," Iubini said. "Camp Darby Community responded with enthusiasm."

I made the African Sweet Potato Stew and it was soooo good. I didn't notice, when I bought the ingredients, that it was supposed to be for a slow cooker. So it took quite a while to get the sweet potatoes to soften. I actually ending up eating another dinner because I was hungry and didn't want to wait. So, instead of my good soup (which of course, I sampled later), I had a fake turkey and cheese on wheat, an apple and some sauteed bok choy and mung beans.
Last night had the potential to be an eating disaster because my friend Danny wanted to go out for Mexican food. I suggested Coyote's in Decatur because I knew that they had at least some fish and shrimp items. I didn't eat any chips to begin with but then Danny's friend ordered some guacamole and I had to have some. I had a few chips with salsa, but I didn't overdo it. I also had a very large margarita. We ordered the regular size, but the waitress messed up and brought jumbo. I also had a shrimp salad which was basically grilled shrimp on a bed of romaine with some avocado. It was good but the bed of romaine was tiny. Then we went to Pozole in the Highlands and I had another margarita, this time jalapeno. It was actually quite good.
No more margaritas for me. It's too much of a caloric waste. I'd rather have a beer if I'm going to have a drink. Or wine.
So, my goal for this week is to make a lot of recipes, not drink until Thursday after kickball, start running again and run in a 5K on Saturday morning. Seems doable.

TECHNICAL NOTE: ObjectRocket is a sharded and fully managed MongoDB service built with a set of tools and APIs designed to maximise uptime and reduce administration time.
"Rackspace's work to establish a strong presence within the high-growth NoSQL database market has flourished since our acquisition of ObjectRocket back in February 2013," said Nigel Beighton, VP of technology at Rackspace International.
"We can now provide MongoDB with low latency, high-bandwidth proximity to our other cloud and hosting solutions," he added.
Rackspace says it has "precision-tuned" its delivery of MongoDB to make it much faster and completely optimised for running MongoDB across all layers of the stack, from the network to the file system and the hardware.

Is there anything else I can do to increase my conception chances?
My husband & I have been TTC for 4 months. I took a home fertility test several months ago that said I was fertile, I've been using OPK's for the past 3 months, I watch my CM closely, we do our best to have BD every other night during the 1 week timeframe surrounding my predicted O, he waits about a minute before pulling out after BD, I lay flat for at least 5 min after BD (I've read a lot of contradicting articles/tips as to whether this practice even makes a difference, but I'm doing it), we're both taking prenatal vitamins, & we're trying to eat healthier options when we can. We wanna get pregnant sooo bad! Is there anything else we can do that we aren't doing already???

I just bought some basic prenatal vitamins from Walmart--they aren't gender-specific. Been doing some research on what special vitamins & such we both need for conception & it's got it all, so we both take the same thing.posted 03/20/2013 by jerodswife
Question: what prenatal vitamins is your husband taking? didn't realize there was something like that for men?? You are doing everying right. I know it's hard but understand that 4 months of trying is really nothing. It can easly take up to a year or longer to conceive. It's not that easy. Sometimes it just takes a while. Nothing you can do about it. Good luck!posted 03/20/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

What to do about friends sexualy curious child with my own child?
My very good friend and i both have 5 year olds(mine a boy, hers a girl) that have always played on a regular basis. About a year ago she found out her daughter and been exposed to her older step-brother (at her dads house)showing her his privates and haveing her do the same. He that we know of once had her put her mouth on him. Needless to say it was a court battle and she went to counseling a few times but everything has pretty much been dropped. Tonight my son told me while they play the girl keeps showing him her privates and asking to see his, and don't tell your mom. I'm normally around them for the most part except maybe do something for my baby or use the bathroom but apparently that's enough time for it to happen I have no idea what to do or say to my friend?

You need to inform her of her childs behavior so she can get her help. You then need to only let the children play together if they are 100% supervised at all time! Which is super hard, since as you said you need to use the rest room! So, pretty much, they can't play much anymore. You need to make sure your son knows this behavior isn't ok(good for him for telling you!). IF the daughter comes to your house again I'd also tell her(nicely, but firmly)what behavior is/isn't appropriate. She needs to realize this isn't ok behavior. She's been abused and she isn't realizing what she's doing is wrong. She could still be being abused, which is why she is continuing to act out.posted 04/25/2012 by HereNow26
If she chooses not to believe, that is her issue. However, her daughter is repeating what she has learned. That is normal. However, I hope they get her the help she needs before she gets older and becomes a new member of the sexual predator list! :( Some parents never want to believe the bad in their children. It's best you find out now than 10 years from now.posted 04/26/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
This is a really serious situation and one that is very difficult. The only thing you can do is be straight with your friend and tell her what your son has told you. At this point your relationship with her is not the most important thing your childs well being is. Im not saying to attack her be gentle about it but you cant just let this be.posted 04/25/2012 by Articeagle
I would tell your friend immediately so she can address it with her child and the child's counselor. Children this age are naturally curious especially when it comes to gender and they realize that boys and girls are different. I would worry though that this child will mimic the behavior taught to her by her step brother. Especially since she told your son not to tell you which is probably what was said to her. The step brother should also get counseling. Where did he learn this from as well? Talk to your son and explain that boys have X and girls have Y and that these areas are private and not to be shown or touched by anyone and that he should come to you immediately. Let him know that it was good that he told you. It is important not to come down too harshly on them and make them feel shameful.posted 04/26/2012 by eliacv2
The daughter probably said she doesn't remember because she thinks she will get in trouble or feels shamed. Or she may not know that she is not doing something wrong. It's important that a counselor addresses this with her. Her parent probably hopes that her daughter has forgotten the experience (wouldn't you hope the same?) I would believe your son because that is not something that children make up unless they have seen it. You know? You did the right thing by telling her and now you just have to be vigilant. I would let the children play together but i would definitely structure their activities. If you have to step out of the room have both or one of them to come with you to "help".posted 04/27/2012 by eliacv2
Update from boys mom= I talked to my friend and told her everything my son said. As hurt as she was she was understanding and open to any advice. We told her(my husband going to school for psychology) this may be something she deals with for a very long time and needs to see someone about it. This morning she called and said that she talked to her daughter and the girl kept saying' i don't remember' everytime she asked her if she had been doing that with my son. She now thinks maybe my son was just saying things and she doesn't know what to do. I know for a 100% fact he did not make that up. Especially considering what happend to her already.posted 04/26/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
If your friend doesn't get that girl professional help than call CPS. She is bound to try to abuse someone else's kid too. You were lucky your son told you. What if she starts going after a weaker minded child and convinced them to keep it a secret. What is her step brother is still abusing her? What if she makes a sexual advance to a pedophile and gets raped?posted 05/10/2012 by chariot71226
The other answers here are all very good, so I will just add one thing. Education is key. Teach him what the private parts are, and show him anatomy books since he is probably very curious now. I suggest role-playing different scenarios, much the same way as they teach kids not to talk to strangers, how to act if offered drugs, etc. Make sure you let him know that he was right to tell you. Situations like this will probably come up as he gets older with other children, too, so it's important for him to know how to act. I don't think you have to keep the girl away, but definately supervise them.posted 06/08/2012 by Mommy020912
Suggesting that you keep your LOs away from VICTIMS of abuse is NOT the answer. 25-30% of us have been victims of sexual abuse and we are NOT the problem.posted 05/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
The biggest issue is that the little girl's mother is in denial. It seems that she doesn't understand the seriousness of what her LO went through and how much this will affect her in the future. The girl should be in counseling. Depending on her behavior, I would be concerned about ongoing abuse by someone else. No offense, but clueless mom's draw in predators to their LOs (cut and paste pic of my mom here). To protect your LO, make sure he understands what body parts are private (penis, vulva, breasts) and that they are only exposed in bathroom, when changing with Mom/Dad ONLY. If someone asks/tells you to/attempts to show theirs/see your, you say "NO, that's private" and tell Mom/Dad immediately or as soon as you can. Do NOT leave your DS around this little girl (or anyone else of concern) unsupervised at ANY time. This means not out or your sight. Even it it cuts playdates to the park and public places.posted 05/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Thomasville, GA - A Thomasville man learns a lesson the hard way after going to extremes to escape arrest.
Thomasville narcotics officers arrested Nathaniel McIntyre after learning he was selling cocaine out of his home at 501 North Young Street.
Before authorities were able to take McIntyre into custody he swallowed several pieces of crack cocaine in an effort to avoid arrest.
"He was getting sick so we called Thomas County EMS. He said he had eaten 7 or 8 pieces of crack cocaine. When we entered the residence Thomas County EMS would transport him to the hospital," said LT. Kevin Lee, Thomas County - Thomasville Narcotics and Vice Division.
After being treated at the hospital McIntyre was taken to Thomas County Jail. He is charged with possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell and obstructing an officer.

The worst of the drought may be over for Colorado and the Southwest.
That's according to scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder.
NOAA unveiled new research Wednesday showing that the region typically gets significant moisture when an El Nino occurs.
El Nino is the warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean that affects weather patterns around the world. That weather phenomenon started in late July. But scientists caution that one good winter won't end the drought.
Scientists are also unsure of the long-term impact of rising ocean temperatures. They say higher temperatures in the western Pacific Ocean helped trigger drought stretching from the United States to Central Asia this year.
Research shows the phenomenon doesn't follow normal patterns and may be linked to increasing amounts of greenhouse gasses.

The Fiesta Bowl scandal has prompted state lawmakers to push legislation that would include an outright ban on gifts to legislators as well prohibit lobbyist contributions at any time to political candidates.
State Sen. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix, on Thursday filed Senate Bill 1393, which would shut down lobbyist contributions to anyone running for state office or the Legislature. Although it only references a ban on donations to lawmakers, Gallardo said his intent is it would apply to all candidates.
Other bills would prohibit lawmakers from receiving food and beverages from lobbyists, from using public dollars to promote themselves in an election year and from receiving tickets to special events (invitations to the Waste Management Phoenix Open just went out this week).
The bills are similar to laws being drafted separately by Republican Sen. Ron Gould of Lake Havasu City and Democratic Sen. David Schapira of Tempe. All three are reacting to last year's revelations that 28 current or former state lawmakers received free football game tickets and some got all expense-paid trips from the bowl.
Gould and Schapira also would prohibit lobbyists or corporations that hire lobbyists from giving anything of value to lawmakers. Currently, lawmakers generally can't accept items not provided to the public at large, but can accept food, entertainment, travel or lodging benefits or speaking fees. They don't have to report gifts costing less than $500.
"People don't give you gifts just because of your good looks and great speaking ability," Gould said. "They're trying to curry favor with you, they're trying to create a relationship, with the feeling that you're more apt to support the things that they push because of that relationship."
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery investigated the lawmakers who took trips or tickets, but decided in December that state reporting laws were so complex and contradictory that he could not bring any criminal charges. He called on the Legislature to overhaul reporting and gift laws for lobbyists and elected officials.

Block-changing... What is it?Mon, 04 Feb 2013 9:53 AM
Block-changing. You may never have heard of it, despite being a motorist for many years. You may know what it is, but rarely use it.
Either way, here's why driving experts recommend you make an effort to include it when behind the wheel.
- Block-changing contributes to a calm and planned driving style.
- It requires less driver input and so allows more time for other things like looking for problems or reading road signs.
- A good driver will use the brakes or their acceleration sense to slow down, not the gears. Brake pads are cheaper to replace than clutches, so use the brakes if you need to (We feel the need to add that engine-braking can be useful at times, especially on long, steep downhills).
- When increasing speed, you can save on fuel consumption by skipping out gears, for example perhaps going straight from third to fifth.
- When slowing on approach to a roundabout or junction, use acceleration sense and/or brakes to decrease speed, and then select the right gear for the speed you are driving at. This may mean skipping out several gears at once.
- Gear changes should be made after braking but before turning the steering wheel.
"Block-changing means choosing and changing gear once, instead of working through all the gears. Missing unnecessary gears saves on fuel, as well as wear and tear, and saves driver effort. Use your gears to go and your brakes to slow," says Peter Rodger of the IAM, a road safety charity in the UK.

"All things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
— II Peter 3:4
It is such a joy to sit on my front porch during the morning and soak in the warmth of the sun as it rises over the peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains as I give thanks and welcome the new day. I do most of my spiritual activities during that time of the day.
A few days ago I was in a meditation for guidance on some issues, when a noise interrupted my quiet time.
It was the honking of a flock of geese doing what they do each year by flying south for the winter. I watched the flock until they were out of sight and was amazed at the change in the formation until they could no longer be seen. The lead goose was replaced by a goose from the rear of the formation as that goose had more energy to fly into the point position because of the air resistance the point goose had to overcome takes more energy than the ones in the rear of the formation. The geese in the rear of the formation reserved their energy by using the turbulence of the air created by the geese in front of them...

One hundred years later, amateur radio is still going strong.
With a room full of equipment topped off with antennas on the roof, Tim Cunningham is a Ham Radio enthusiast.
Cunningham said, "It keeps growing. A lot of new technology keeps growing."
Over the past 100 years radio has served as a vital communication tool. These radios can work in the roughest of conditions, making them vital tools during emergencies.
Mark Tidrow, a Ham Radio operator, said, "During Hurricane Katrina thousands of hams poured into that area. We had portable generators, we have our equipment set up, we provide communication in an emergency basis when it first occurred."
It's a communication service provided across the world from Venezula to Peru, even St. Helena Island.
Cunningham added, "The FCC has just dropped the Morse Code requirement for people to get their license, so that's going to make a lot of difference as far as people getting involved with amateur radio."
There's no age requirement to get a radio license, and the cost to get started can be as low as $60, and in 100 more years radio enthusiast say Ham Radio will go as far as the frequencies will take them.
Ham Radio operators also served as an important communication tool during the first few hours of 9/11 when communication towers nearby were down.

Santorini vs. Athens
Hello! I will be traveling with an REI adventure group to Greece for an island hopper/hiking trip in September. I will be with the group for 9 days. I have the option to stay in Santorini at the end of the trip, rather than going back to Athens with the group. This will cost me more, since I will have to pay a change fee for the flight to Athens, and I'll miss out on prepaid lodging and meals for the last night. However, I've been told there's only so much to see/do in Athens and the islands really do appeal to me more. So, my question is, would it be worth a few hundred extra dollars to stay in Santorini for four more days on my own (after our team is there for 2 nights)? Or should I save the money and go back to Athens with my group? Which area is safer for a single woman (who is not an experienced traveler) and has more to offer as far as sightseeing, beaches, great spots to eat and explore, etc.? If I do go back to Athens with the group, are there recommendations as to what I should do there (I will have already been to the Acropolis, Ancient Agora and Parthenon at the start of our trip)? Or should I go elsewhere for my last three nights in Greece?
Thank you!!


text: I beg to differ with the gentle writer who recently chided the pacifists for demonstrating and said that although no one wants war it is sometimes necessary (Cleona Duncan, Reader Input, Sept. 26). The United States of America is addicted to war. The names of some of the most powerful promoters of war are Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and General Electric and the media interests they own. More than 100,000 companies feed at the Pentagon trough. Our government has spent more on the military in the last four decades than the value of all the factories, machinery, roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, airports, railroads, power plants, office buildings, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, hotels, houses, etc. in this country put together. It adds up to more than the cumulative monetary value of all human-made wealth in the U.S. We have so depleted ourselves by war that we cannot take care of the basic needs of our citizens. We need more pacifists out there demonstrating. Paul Comiskey, Newcastle

Scottish wood ant (Formica aquilonia)
|Formica (1)
|Worker length: 5 – 10 mm (2)
Queen length: 12 mm (3)
The Scottish wood ant is classified as Nationally Scarce in Britain (4) and as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List (5).
All wood ants are red and black in colour and are the largest ants in Britain. Examination of the head allows species to be identified (3). The Scottish wood ant, (Formica aquilonia) has a fringe of hairs on the rear of the head that does not extend down to the eyes (6). The thorax is reddish-brown and is paler than the head; it has fewer, shorter hairs than the other British wood ants (7).
The Scottish wood ant is found throughout the Scottish Highlands (3), reaching as far north as Ross and Sutherland. It reaches west and south to the West Highlands and Argyll. It has been found on the Islands of Skye and Arran and there is a single strong population in Armagh, Northern Ireland (4). Elsewhere, this ant occurs in Europe from the Alps to Siberia and from Arctic Norway in the north as far south as northern Italy (2).
The Scottish wood ant can thrive in undisturbed pine forest and old birch woodland and has also been recorded on the edges of plantations (3) (4).
Wood ants are social insects that live in very large colonies. Most of the individuals found in these colonies are non-reproductive females known as workers. These individuals carry out the foraging and brood-care duties for the colony. The queen is the only member of the colony to lay eggs (3). At the beginning of spring each year, unfertilised eggs are produced, and these develop into males. Other eggs that are produced at this time and are fed more become queens, while others develop as workers. During June, usually on a warm humid day, huge numbers of winged reproductive males and queens leave the nest en masse and engage in a mating flight known as the 'nuptial flight'. After mating the male soon dies, the queen sheds her wings, and searches for a suitable location to establish a new nest (6). She will not mate again during her lifetime, but stores sufficient sperm inside her body to fertilise all her future eggs (3).
Scottish wood ants create very large dome-shaped nests that are 'thatched' with pine needles. These nests typically have one elongated side, to maximise the sunlight falling on the colony (3). Ants are known to have very close mutually beneficial associations with many other types of organism (8), and it has recently been discovered that the nests of the Scottish wood ant contain many earthworms (Dendrodrilus rubidus). It is thought that the earthworms benefit from this association as the nests provide a relatively warm, constant habitat, and the ants benefit in turn as the earthworms keep the nest free of damaging moulds and fungi (9).
Wood ants are carnivorous, and workers carry a wide variety of prey back to the nest along trails that extend throughout the territory. The workers also tend aphids for the sugary 'honeydew' that they exude from the anus; the aphids gain protection from predators in return for this service (6). Studies in Scotland have shown that each F. aquilonia worker brings an average of one and a half times its own weight in food back to the nest daily. Five to six trackways leave each nest and lead to the trees where most of the foraging takes place. Many workers may leave the trackways to forage in the surrounding area at random (7).
The main threats facing the Scottish wood ant in Britain include the widespread loss of undisturbed native pine woodland and unsuitable management of remaining woodland (4). Modern forestry techniques, including under planting with non-native tree species are detrimental to this and other species of wood ant, as they cause too much shade for the ants to prosper. Disturbance, the use of insecticides and overgrazing are also problems (3).
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has identified the Scottish wood ant as Near Threatened. It is listed as a priority species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP). The Species Action Plan for this ant aims to maintain all current populations and the present range of the species in the UK (4). Research into the habitat requirements and ecology of this species is underway; it is hoped that the results of these studies will guide successful conservation action in the future (3). Wood ants are known to be 'key-stone' species in the ecosystems of which they are a part, playing a vital role in maintaining the delicate balance between organisms in the ecosystem. When wood ants are lost from an area, this delicate balance is disrupted. For example many species that the ants prey upon in turn feed on the needles of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), so the loss of the wood ant may have disastrous results. Their conservation is therefore of the utmost importance, not only for the species itself, but for the entire Caledonian Forest they inhabit and all the species relying on that habitat (3).

Logging BMPs Protect Land And Water
Every year, Missourians cut, split, peel and saw great quantities of wood from the state's private and public forests. Logs, bolts, blocks and sticks are among the most obvious and tangible of our forest products. It's easy to estimate the dollar value of these products. It comes to millions in raw materials alone.
Manufacturing secondary wood products such as barrels, handles, ties, posts, and pallets contributes millions of dollars more to the state's economy.
A forest is more than trees, though, and forestry is more than just harvesting timber. Along with trees and other plants, forests help produce clean water for drinking, swimming, recreation and other uses. That's why it's important to keep soil in place rather than let it erode into rivers and lakes. We can't afford to give up wood products - nor would we ever want to - but we can reduce erosion and provide for clean water while still harvesting timber. The way to do this is by understanding and applying Missouri's best management practices.
Best management practices, or BMPs, are voluntary measures designed to reduce erosion and runoff from timber harvest operations. They have been developed by individual states in response to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and the Clean Water Acts of 1977 and 1987. In Missouri, BMPs have been in effect since 1987, when a number of agencies, including the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Department of Natural Resources, developed "Missouri Watershed Protection Practices." Collectively, this is a series of guidelines for maintaining watersheds and protecting streams. These guidelines, published in booklet form by MDC, offer loggers and landowners specifications for putting BMPs to work. The guidelines also appear in the booklet, "Forest Management for Missouri Landowners." Both booklets are available from local MDC offices or the main office in Jefferson City.
Understanding why BMPs are needed and how they work begins with an understanding of soil erosion and its effects. Erosion is a natural process whereby natural, physical forces move particles of rock and soil from one place to another, sometimes far from their place of origin. This process has slowly shaped our landscape over millions of years. The effects of natural erosion can be seen from the rounded hills of the Ozark highlands to sandy and gravelly Mississippi River bottoms. Human activity, however, often accelerates erosion by exposing soil to the effects of wind, water and gravity.

Teen Mom
Nathan Griffith on Celebrity Nude Photo Leak: "It's Unfair and Very Cruel!"
In case you've been too busy eating endless breadsticks at Olive Garden to notice, a slew of A-list celebrities had their iCloud accounts and phones hacked over the weekend. Now, the internet is now home to nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, and Victoria Justice, among others.
This is obviously a huge invasion of privacy, and no one knows how these stars are feeling more than Jenelle Evans. This Teen Mom 2 star has had nude photos leaked more times than we can count, so it makes perfect sense that her baby daddy, Nathan Griffith, took to Twitter to muse about this recent scandal. Like, seriously. So much musing.
"Just goes to show that celebrities are normal people and most girls, to be intimate or to arouse their lovers, do take provocative pictures!" Nathan explained to the internet.
He went on to add, "And most girls NEVER intend to share their bodies to the world but very sad people exploit their fame to one's own personal advantage." True that, Nathan.
There's nothing wrong with taking a sexy selfie, and it's absolutely terrible that these personal photos were made public. But wait, there are more musings to be had. "I know I'm a small voice," Nathan continued, "but I am sorry to all the celebrities that were exposed this way! It's unfair and very cruel!"
We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Who knew Nathan was such an advocate for the cause?!
Do you agree with Nathan? Tell us in the comments below!

If you're on the verge of losing your home, or you know someone who is, then you also know about the long, bureaucratic process involved in applying for a loan modification from a lender. The most common approach is to apply under the new Home Affordability Mortgage Program (HAMP), but lenders also accept modifications from mortgage holders because lenders really don't want to take the house—they just want their money.
In many cases, however, the approval process takes longer than many homeowners can afford. But one expert believes it doesn't have to be that way, and that there are solutions for homeowners whose applications seem stuck in the mud.
"Applying for a loan modification can be an extremely stressful process," says Stephfan Nurse, CEO of Consumer Education—the makers of Mortgage Reduction software designed to help people through the modification process.
"Even if you send in your documents and your lender tells you everything is okay, you may still have a great amount of anxiety because you have no idea what the lender is doing with your file. You may not know what the next step is and how long it takes to move through each step in the process. Your lender may tell you what the next step is, but you may not understand why it will take so long. There are reasons, however, why the process can get stuck, and there are ways to move that process along, if you understand what goes on behind the scenes."
Nurse's tips for making the process smoother include:
• Account Numbers – It often happens that when you fax your paperwork to your lender, the lender either says they lost your paperwork or they just didn't receive it all. This isn't because they are incompetent. It's because they receive thousands of faxes each day, and they use an image scanning technology to capture them all and place them in the appropriate file. In that system, a cover sheet that has your account number on it will get placed correctly, but the following sheets that lack your account number can be easily misplaced. The solution is to put your account number on every page of your paperwork, so they have a better chance of placing all your paperwork in your file.
• Complete the Paperwork – When your file gets assigned to a document manager, typically about 30 days after you first applied for the modification, the document manager's job is to check to make sure all your required documents are ready to be submitted to the negotiator/specialist for review. If you have an incomplete file, even if you're missing just one single required document, the document manager will note your account as having an incomplete file and move on to the next file to review. At this point, a generic letter is automatically mailed to your home requesting the additional information your file lacks. This letter can take up to two weeks to get to you, and then another two to four weeks before they look at your updated information. The key is to never send an incomplete package to your lender. It can lead to a delay or even a flat out denial.
• Follow Up – Finally, follow up every week with your lender to make sure all the documents they have are up to date. Don't worry about being a pest. After all, it's your house on the line if things get stuck in neutral. If you do this consistently, you will avoid getting caught in the delay cycle.
"The process is like any other, and it can be rife with mistakes and bureaucratic snafus," Nurse adds. "But if you take the steps to reduce the opportunities for error, your application can move through the process much faster and you'll have a much better chance at being approved."

I watched it a second time, but I still felt the same way. Then I ask my parents to watch video as well. My dad understood what was going on, and explained it to me. He started with a number that was a multiple of seven. When you add 7 to the number, the number in the ones column had to be bigger than seven and the number in the tens column has to be smaller than seven. Through trial and error, he came up with 49. Since 7 can't go into 4, you put that off to the side for later. 7 can go into 9 so 9-7=2. Now you bring back the 4 and that makes 42. 42-42=0. Therefore, 16 X 7=49. To check your work, you can do that by adding 16 (7) times (16+16+16+16+16+16+16=49). 6 X 7= 42 + 7 (1's)= 49. After trying this process several more times, I also learned that you could use this algorithm with almost any number as long as the rule applies. For example: 3 X 17=24, 6 X 17=49, 7 X 16=49, and 3 X 17=24.

Atari Teenage Riot Goes for the Lulz With Anonymous
… To begin with, Alec Empire has a history with Sony — he'd sued them for copyright infringement after another song was included in a Sony ad without permission, and he settled, still feeling ripped off. Part of his dissatisfaction was hearing his music in a commercial at all.
Now Sony was back in Empire's life — and asking this time. Empire knew at once what he wanted to do.
