Springtime in Vermont
April 16, 2014 by Corey A. Edwards
That shift in the weather, that smell of maple sugaring in the air can only mean one thing: Springtime in Vermont is here!
Ah, springtime in Vermont: runoff swells the creeks back to bubbling life, the trees fill with the activity of birds. Both year-round residents and migratory species can be seen winging their way back to – and through – our neck of the woods: the Scarlet Tanager, Bicknell's Thrush, the Indigo Bunting, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, the Common Yellowthroat, the Meadowlark, the Blue-winged Teal, and many, many more.

Mirroring both East and West in its search for healing, The Rental Sister pierces the emotional walls of grief and delves into the power of human connection to break through to the world waiting outside.

1) How is the Dainius Zubrus elbow any different whatsoever than the Brandon Prust elbow? And does anybody want to bet the NHL won't even look at it?
2) This was a game ya boys could have won.
3) Ilya Kovalchuk sure wasn't Mr. Superstar in Game 1, and that pass, instead of shooting, in overtime was an awful play.
4) Anze Kopitar=Monster. Also=Europansy.
5) The more I see of Martin Brodeur, and despite all the acrobatic saves he makes, the more I'm convinced he was the worst of the final four goalies. And he could end up with the Cup.
6) Could they turn up the music and noise any louder in Newark? It's bad when you have to turn down the volume on the TV, when the network can't make it more quiet for the viewers.
7) When this guy Steve Bernier hits you, you know you've been hit. I noticed that during the ECF, too.
8) Did youse all hear the Torts Radio Tour yesterday?
9) Wow, a lot of comments during Game 1. Should I do separate "It's Go Time" posts for the finals games?
Thanks for all the responses for season-review guest blogs. I'll sort it all out today.
MOST IMPORTANT: Live Chat Friday at noon. We can really wrap up the season and what happened in the ECF. Be there. Or else.

Topic: Need Help
We need some help from all of you knowledgeable people. We've got about 2 weeks before husband Charlie meets with his doctor. In that time, we need to exhaust all possibilities for liver transplant. What I've found so far is there a lot of places that do liver transplants, but not for CC. Does anyone know of hospitals that do transplants for CC specifically? What we've found so far: UNC doesn't, Univ. PA Pittsburgh doesn't, Mayo Clinic does, but won't accept Charlie because of extent of disease. We're researching to find all we can. His doctor wants to make sure he asks everywhere possible about transplants before we move on to embolization or another procedure. Any information you've found out and can share is greatly appreciated as we battle on. Bless you all.

Last Monday, one of the 10 man groups got Alysrazor down, and much to the excitement of our resto shaman, Craterflame Spaulders dropped. Unfortunately the raid leader forgot to turn on Master Loot, so he asked everyone to pass so that Targetme could pick up his loot.
Beldarien was busy chatting to his GF and wasn't thinking... he hit DE. And since everyone passed, he got a very nice maelstrom crystal.
A ticket was submitted, but the GM said that sharded items cannot be restored. Oh well. Next time turn on ML... or hit need... or don't hit DE!

Students in Lenanon, Ore., have reason to celebrate this week as district officials announced the return of chocolate milk to the lunchroom less than a year after initially eliminating the popular drink to comply with the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act.
Julie Holden and Roxanne Savedra, parents of students at the Cascades Elementary School, approached the Lebanon School Board earlier this month to petition the return of chocolate milk to school lunches, according to a report by the Albany (Ore.) Democrat-Herald. They presented research detailing chocolate milk's nutritional values and data showing that students weren't turning to white milk in the absence of a flavored option.
During the flavored milk ban, students at Cascades Elementary School were dumping an average of 11.66 gallons of regular milk at lunchtime each day, accounting for nearly 72 percent of the milk cartons given out. That was more than double the amount of milk tossed last year, before flavored milk was removed from the lunch menu.
The school board agreed with Holden and Savedra, voting in favor of return chocolate milk. Read more from the Albany Democrat-Herald, "Chocolate milk returns to Lebanon schools."
While the new federal school lunch regulations don't ban flavored milk, it has tightened restrictions on calories in school lunches and required schools to serve more vegetables, fruits and whole grains. A Kansas high school recently released a music video, revolting against the regulations. Watch it here.

Population problem for Dawkins (and you) to ponder from Rudy Poglitsh USA: "IF, as my university ecology lecturer told me, every species wants to fill the universe with its number (survival of the fittest and all that); and IF, as atheist and evolutionist author the Selfish Gene concept Professor Richard Dawkins said in his conversation with Human Genome scientist Francis Collins published in Time magazine a year or so ago, most sexual acts are now contracepted (which I can believe is true); Therefore, can we conclude that large-family Protestants, orthodox Catholics, and child-minded Muslims are the only ones living according to the proper operation of the evolutionist selfish-gene? Strange if that is the case since these groups are amongst those who usually oppose evolution tooth-and-nail."
Editorial Comment: When it comes to evolution, strange, counterintuitive, and even counterfactual claims are not obstacles – it's enough to make you doubt the integrity of most evolutionists, isn't it?

Development Tourette's was once considered a rare and bizarre syndrome, often seen in Computer Programmers and Software Engineers. Most often it is associated with the exclamation of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks while engrossed in an especially crap piece of code. Usually sufferers are unaware that they are actually talking outloud.
An annoyed programmer with Development Tourettes will often be found randomly swearing and screaming at their computer, in such a state of rage that they will not realise they are saying anything.

THREE former Whitefield schoolpals have enjoyed a reunion — 40 years on and 12,000 miles away.
Andy Russell, Dave Killeen and Gary Zabel met up again in Australia to share memories of growing up in Radcliffe and their days at Stand Grammar School in Whitefield.
Andy, aged 61, and Dave, aged 60, grew up on the same estate off Outwood Road and Gary, aged 61, was brought up in Top O' Cross in the 1950s and 60s.
They teamed up Down Under where retired business executive Dave now lives in Queensland to watch the first Ashes Test at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Gary and Andy, who worked together as reporters on the Radcliffe Times in the old Church Street office, then took a road trip from Brisbane to Sydney before flying to Adelaide for the second test match.
The friends christened the reunion 'Forty Years On' after the Stand Grammar School song which they sung together as pupils.
Andy, a freelance journalist who now lives in Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire, said: "We had got back in touch after many years and Dave suggested a trip Down Under to watch the cricket.
"I met up with Gary at the Old Trafford test in the summer and he was very keen to come along to make it a real school reunion. I had only seen Gary and Dave once since our school days and Gary and Dave had not seen each other at all.
"So after the first day of the Brisbane Test we met up for dinner and had a few choruses of Forty years On — helped by a few glasses of wine. The first line 'Forty Years On when afar and asunder, parted are those who are singing today' seemed to be very apt as we looked back on our lives since school. We shared many happy memories." Gary, who lives in Surrey after a successful career in publishing, added: "It was wonderful to meet up after all these years. We brought back to mind many old school friends and Andy and I reminisced about the start of our careers at the Radcliffe Times. Even England's performance in the cricket couldn't spoil such a enjoyable trip."

Is this word only to be used in conjunction with teeth? For the life of me I can not think of a single instance when it has been used otherwise. What else is gnashed or gnashable? In other words what has gnashosity besides teeth? We need an entirely gnew set of words.

Let me gnaw on that one a bit.

Well, you beat me to it, Audiendus. This one popped into my head when I read the original post. Then I doubted myself. Gears are teeth, after all.

Re: gnash
There is a slang meaning of gnash. I think the g might be pronounced in this usage, but I'm not sure since my children are way past being teens. In my generation we said swell or peachy keen.

>Off the Beaten Path>Another New Year Resolution Set In Motion...
I made a few this year. One of which is to run 1000 miles this year. Another one is to do charity work. I tried to volunteer for the Interfaith Food Bank to drive groceries to families in need but they politely declined stating they have enough volunteers. OK.
So I read in the local paper that the county is in dire need of "Court Appointed Special Advocates" where an individual is assigned to a child by the court to be a "big brother/sister" so to speak. The children are often wards of the court or in family situations that are less than ideal. The CASA is there for the child to offer support and guidance and reports on a regular basis to the the court on the child's well being.
I'm excited and in speaking with the program director, I get the impression that they desperately need volunteers as he wants to get me into training ASAP.
Good luck Dave. Being a CASA volunteer can be difficult & emotionally draining. Here's hoping for a positive outcome for the child you will be representing.
Thanks Sugnim, have you been one in the past? When I lived in South Lake Tahoe, I "took in" a few teenagers whose parents had pretty much washed their hands of. One was in quite a bit of trouble and I was informally recognized by the court as his guardian. I took him to his appointments (court, probation, drug tests) and reported to the court when asked. He was a handful for sure, but I got him out of trouble, managed to keep him out of jail for drug violations, and set him on the right path. A few of the kids just had parents who were either raging alcoholics, addicts, or both and didn't care for the children. I took these kids in and kinda showed them how a family works. We sat down at dinner together, we went grocery shopping together, chores...etc.
That was all informal, but this will be "for the record", so I'm excited but a bit nervous too.
I have not been one, but I worked with someone who was a CASA representing the voice of a baby in an awful case. She frequently lost sleep over the case & often returned from testifying in court in tears. It's a stressful, but unfortunately necessary job.
And yes, it's unfortunate that it is necessary. My life/outlook has changed so profoundly lately that I feel compelled to give something back. Maybe I can help a child, ya know. Maybe after I'm dead and buried someone out there might say something like "I knew a man once who helped me a lot..."
That would be a nice legacy I think.
Well, here's an update...
Apparently, I'm not wanted. They loved the fact that I have cared for many troubled teens. They loved the fact that I have been recognized by the courts as a caregiver. But here's the kicker...
Before I wasted anyone's time, I went in and met with the coordinator and director of the program. I told them that I am a very vocal advocate of medical marijuana within the county and I have voiced my opinions on the matter at numerous Board of Supervisors meetings and I have been published in the local papers. I was met with a pause and then asked "Are you able to separate your ideology from what the court demands?" To which I referred to how I took one of my charges to his probation appointments, took him to his drug testing, court dates, etc...so "yes".
That was 8 days ago. They haven't called me since. Kinda too bad. They said they were in dire need of CASAs who could deal with teenage boys as they're the hardest...and that is precisely where my direct experience is in. Their loss I suppose, but I felt compelled to tell them where I stood in my philosophy so no "surprises" would arise should I get involved in more county related issues.

So after that Tremendously Tremendous first period and solid victory by the Red, White and Blue, I have this question for y'all:
Do youse want Canada to win tonight so Team USA can go head-to-head with the Canucks for the Gold and take it right out of Hot Dog Lips' mouth? Or would you rather avoid the big red machine on its home ice? Just wondering?
As we noted earlier, the Rangers sent Chad Johnson to Hartford and recalled goalie Miika Wiikman today. It just means Wiikman will be the practice target and that Ocho will get some game action before Tuesday. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ocho play in Ottawa.

A state-of-the-art United States stealth fighter jet will fly in Britain for the first time at the Royal International Air Tattoo, the Defence Secretary has announced.
The F-35 Lightning II will make its debut in July at Fairford and will also fly at the Farnborough International Air Show. The decision to fly the combat aircraft outside of the United States for the first time, following discussions between Philip Hammond and his US counterpart, Secretary Hagel, is a demonstration of the progress with the Lightning II programme.
Around 15 per cent of every aircraft is built in the UK. Mr Hammond said: "The US and the UK have worked closely together on the F-35 project from the beginning. We are the only country that is a Level 1 partner in the project, which is sustaining tens of thousands of jobs in the UK. This fifth generation stealth combat aircraft will be a major boost to British combat air power and it is entirely fitting that the F-35's first stop outside the United States will be in the UK – its second home."
It comes after the Italian Air Force confirmed no fewer than five planes for this summer's tattoo.
The weekend's flying display will be on July 12-13.
The Air Tattoo is staged in support of the RAF Charitable Trust and tickets for the event are only available in advance.
Specially-priced Earlybird tickets for the tattoo on July 11-13, are available until May 31 from airtattoo.com or by calling 0800 107 1940. All accompanied under-16s go free and there is also free parking.

Before anyone tries to add it...
I'd just like to note that it Gaara didn't use Magnetism Release in 557. He simply had some of the 4th Kazekage's Gold Dust mixed into the Sand Clone. Skitts (talk) 17:33, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
It is only speculation on both ways. Gaara was born withe the black rings around his eyes, babys whoa re just born dont have insomnia, so gaara may indeed have magnetism release like his father, which may be the reason why he was the only one of the 4th's kids who was compatible for the Shukaku, Maybe Magnetism release is a must for being the Shukaku's Jinchuriki? —This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
- While it is possible, we just won't know until Kishimoto decides to tell us. I also doubt that it's a requirement to have Magnet Release to be the host but then again...--Cerez365™ 11:34, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
When FOURTH KAZEKAGE used GOLD DUST ability dark rings appeared around his eyes that resembled the permanent ones around those of his son. WHO USED MAGNET RELEASE ABILITY ARE DARK RINGS APPEARED AROUND HIS EYES?? —This unsigned comment was made by Chghjik (talk • contribs) .
- Every thing Gaara did can be explained by means other than Magnet Release. The Third Kazekage and Toroi, also users from Magnet Release, don't display such rings. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:08, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
Chakra Flow
I've always been kind've wondering, aren't all gaara's techniques chakra flow? Should we change this? —This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .
- Not quite. Gaara's control over sand differs a lot from what we've come to know as charkra flow. If simply putting chakra into something constituted chakra flow techniques, all ninjutsu would be chakra flow. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:51, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
Wind Release
I think "while transformed" or "with Shukaku's power" should be added to that. He used it only while being partially transformed and never again since then. --Elveonora (talk) 20:26, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
- While it's true we only saw him using it while transformed, the databook explicitly stated Gaara as the user of Wind Release: Infinite Sand Cloud Great Breakthrough. Plus, we don't do that for tailed beasts. We know Rōshi only uses Lava Release because of the Four-Tails, but there's no annotation in his infobox either. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:15, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
That's because he himself used it while being partially transformed ... that's why he is listed. Killer B's Ink stemms from Eight-Tails. He is listed as an user because he himself used it with Eigh-Tail's power. By your logic, we should list Naruto as an Fire Release user since in anime Kyubi used fire. But it was Kyubi in control of Naruto's body that used it, not Naruto himself. What I'm trying to say is that Gaara used Wind Release obviously thanks to Shukaku so "Wind Release (with Shukaku sealed) would make me help sleep at night, thanks. --Elveonora (talk) 23:19, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Except there's no reason to suspect Gaara wouldn't also have learnt wind techniques without Shukaku. Both his sister and teacher use wind techniques, after all. There is no proof that Gaara's wind techniques stem from Shukaku. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 23:30, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

- I don't see a need for that. If we take Rōshi and Gaara's actually verified jinchūriki powers as examples, Gaara still has his Fūton and can use them outside of his Bijū transformations. Juste becasue he doesn't use them doesn't mean he can't. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 04:24, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
- That wasn't the meaning of the addition, at least as I put it. Assuming Roshi isn't like the million others who just magically got Lava Release, he got his from his tailed beast. The way I put it, it is unknown if he is just naturally a Wind user, or the affinity originally came from the beast and simply melded to him.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 05:04, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
- Let's just say he hasn't used it after the first time. That's all we can definitly say and should say. Seelentau 愛議 09:31, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
@ShounenSuki, I never said Gaara himself can't use Wind Release. Just he never used it outside of beast transformation. He no longer can use this since he no longer has an additional mouths all over his body. Like Sasuke is listed as an user of Body Shedding with Orochimaru absorbed, I think Gaara should be listed as partially transformed into Shukaku until he shows this without being transformed. --Elveonora (talk) 13:58, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
- Wasn't it specifically said that Sasuke could only use that technique because he had absorbed Orochimaru's soul? Any way, annotating Gaara's use of this technique like that would imply that he can only use it while (partially) transformed, and there's simply nothing that really supports this. I won't mind saying he only used it while partially transformed in the article itself, but actually annotating the infobox listing is too much. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 14:07, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
We have seen him using it only while partially transformed and with the use of the additional mouths. He most likely can't transform into Shukaku anymore and we have not seen him using this or any other Wind technique since, I think that's enough reason. Well, I spoke my mind ... do as you please :) --Elveonora (talk) 14:16, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
Tailed Beast Skill
Guys this is getting ridiculous, we all know that Gaara's sand controlling ability stems from the One-Tailed Tanuki Shukaku, it is clearly a Tailed Beast Skill but Shukaku doesn't have to be a user only Gaara. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:05, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

That isn't what I asked about :{ , besides Gaara can only use those techniques because of the Shukaku, if it wasn't derived from the Shukaku, then Gaara would be able to used it without having the Shukaku sealed inside of him,he was a jinchuriki of the Shukaku, that was the only thing which grannted him these abilities others can do it causing even the Third Kazekage to create a jutsu to imitate Shukaku's abilties. We don't know if any other jinchuriki would be able to retain their tailed beast skills after death.
@Omnibender: Can you please show us the link?
@cerez365: When you say "Never been listed as tailed beast skill" does that mean that the Databook labels them as such? Roshi was able to use the Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Technique and it's listed as a tailed beast skill, because we clearly know that the Lava Release abilities are from Son Goku. We don't know if what would have happened if any other Jinchuriki like Roshi was revived in the same way as Gaara. Like I said before its clearly known that the Shukaku's style is unique causing the Third Kazekage to create Iron Sand. Ginkaku and Kinkaku were able to use their tailed beast skills even after they were dead. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 12:50, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet is not a ranked technique. By ranked, we mean having been ranked from E-rank to S-rank, which shows how difficult it is to learn/perform the technique. The ranked sand technique I mentioned is Sand Binding Prison, which is a B-rank technique, according to its entry in the third databook. Tailed beast skill was a category we implemented independently to further categorise techniques. If a technique can be traced back as stemming from a tailed beast, we list it as a tailed beast skill. The reason most of Gaara's sand techniques are not listed as such, as far as I recall, is because of that one B-ranked technique. Having a rank like that has always implied that the technique is learnable/performable by anyone willing to learn. For example, no kekkei genkai technique has ever had a rank, because one doesn't simply learn a kekkei genkai technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:42, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
I dunno. I just think that there's too much unknowns surrounding Gaara especially with the new revelations. It's listed that the manipulation seemingly stems from Shukaku, I think that'll do for now. At least for me.--Cerez365™ 14:51, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
I get what your trying to say but then again Masashi Kishimoto does that sometimes for example he gave Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique a rank (B if i remember correctly) we all know that it is derived from the Hozuki Clan's secret technique the Hydrification Technique which we all know is not supposed to be ranked. At the same time Gaara also used the Air Sand Protective Wall but it wasn't given a rank, nor was any other technique and I'm pretty sure Gaara wasn't slipping into his Version 1 or 2 forms when we saw him. My point is that we should list his abilities as a tailed beast skill the same was done with the Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique, it is given a rank yet still listed as Hiden. As for the people who say that they shouldn't be listed as such because Gaara could use them even when he was revived, it's a ability that no one except a jinchuriki of Shukaku can use, causing The Third or Fourth Kazekage to create Iron Sand to imitate the abilities of a previous jinchuriki of the One-Tail We don't know if any one like Roshi would retain them even if they were revived like Gaara, Kinkaku and Ginkaku could retain their Nine-Tailed forms even after death, with the help of no seal. All of this point towards the fact that they can indeed be listed as such.(P.s I the guy who started this discussion.) What do you guys say? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 10:17, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- I believe I have asked ShounenSuki or someone about this a while back. If I am to understand it correctly the innate ability to control sand is the Shukaku's power. The shield becoming an automatic shield around Gaara is his mother's love hijacking the Shukaku's power for her own end. All the jutsu Gaara came up with using sand are not technically tailed skills, but work based on a tailed beast skill.
- So basically
- Controlling Sand is the power of the One-Tailed Beast
- The sand protecting Gaara is the One-Tailed power hijacked by Gaara's mama
- The jutsu Gaara made up using the sand is not a Tailed Beast skill--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 11:35, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with you. --Ilnarutoanime -NejiLoverr- 14:52, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
That's what I am arguing about, it is the ability of the One-Tailed Shukaku hence a tailed beast skill, I know about the Sand Shield but basically she's hijacking(who knows how?) it, the Sand shield is an application of the sand abilites of Shukaku though I'll have to think about it. Her love and will consists of only a small amount of Gaara's abilities and Gaara never used techniques except the Sand Shield based on her mother's love. About your argument that its not a tailed beast skill, well as I recall is "A tailed beast skill is a unique ability or trait used by tailed beasts" but if you still don't agree then I guess we should remove Roshi's Lava Release: Scorching Rock Stream Technique and his magma armor from being a tailed beast skill too huh? Roshi used Lava release ninjutsu because of Son Goku the same argument can be made that all of Roshi's lava jutsu are not technically tailed beast skills but based on a tailed beast skill, the ability to mix the Earth and Fire natures and create a new nature, Lava Release. (I don't get your argument if it's based on a tailed beast skill then its a tailed beast skill itself.)

- That Water Release technique wasn't a change over time like you're suggesting, this was a ranked hiden technique, the only exception to hiden techniques not having ranks, from the get-go. This wasn't something that he might have changed his mind over time. That wasn't an inconsistency that happened because thing a contradicted thing b said a long time ago.

- Unlike the examples other people gave of inconsistencies in technique ranking and categories, that Water Release technique already had an inconsistency right from the start, as it was called hiden and given a rank at the same time. This wasn't like some other technique that was called something at first and later called something else. The other person was trying to justify changing all of Gaara's sand techniques to tailed beast skill by saying that categorisation changes occur, using that Water Release as an example. I'm just showing that this didn't happen with that technique, as it had an unusual categorisation from the start, and therefore not an argument that would convince me to agree listing Gaara's sand techniques as tailed beast skill when one of them has a rank.

Er......Isn't that what the other person is talking about, he (or she) is saying that Masashi Kishimoto makes inconsistencies like that Hozuki Water Arm Technique and changes his mind. Also if I'm correct he (or she) pointed out that the Air Sky Sand Protective Wall or whatever was also used the same way and place and time so Masashi Kishimoto wasn't planning on that.

@Omnibender: I don't understand what you're saying, are you suggesting this was something different at first and then shifted to something else? That the classification and rank of that Sand Binding Prison technique was changed over time? If so, can you please where it is said? Gaara used Air Sand protective Wall at the same time, why wasn't it given a rank? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 05:35, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
- What I mean is that prior to that technique, none of Gaara's techniques had ever received a rank. Having a rank pretty much means the technique can be taught to anyone willing to learn it. Sure, there have been unranked techniques which look like they can be taught, but not of all them are like that. Gaara's sand techniques being unranked made sense because they derive from something he got from his tailed beast, meaning this isn't something others could potentially learn simply if they decided to learn. When the Third Databook came out, almost all of his techniques had no rank, but this one had. I'm not saying the rank of the technique changed over time, but the ranking profile of Gaara's techniques did, because one of them became ranked. I'm against listing Gaara's sand techniques as tailed beast skills today because one of the techniques that should be listed as such would end up as having a rank, which carries the meaning I spoke of. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:44, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

With the recent releases showing the Jinchuriki with chakra shrouds, should we mention in Gaara's trivia that he is/was the only Jinchuriki not to be seen with a chakra shroud? I mean sure, we've seen him go Full Form, but we've also seen Bee go Full Form but also have seen him with a shroud. I think it may be trivia worthy if anyone else agrees? SusanooUnleashed (talk) 15:04, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
- I think that is mentioned in his transformations page already. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:24, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
These are the only things I found about it on his transformations page:
"Much like Naruto's fox shaped chakra cloak, the sand is capable of absorbing a wide variety of attacks. However, the defence given to his body still has one weak spot."
"Gaara's jinchūriki forms are noticeably different from others' in that it's not made of pure chakra, but of sand. It is, however, possible that the forms that Gaara has shown are partial transformations."
No mention of how he was never seen with the chakra shroud, just that he gets covered in sand not the raw chakra. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 04:38, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
Maybe it takes less control for Gaara to use partial transformation and shield/armor of sand than chakra cloaks since the sand is imbued with chakra most of times and for Shukaku's body being from sand. For 8 Tailed Beasts being able to provide chakra cloaks to their host, and one being different would make Shukaku really unique. So I think Shukaku is like other 8, just Gaara can't use chakra cloak or it's not his style. For example now Naruto's has control over Nine-Tail's chakra but we have not seen him doing a partial transformation or going to version 1/version 2 on his own ... it happened only when the Kyubi triggered it.
So to put it short I see it as lack of control or a preference but don't want to speculate much. --Elveonora (talk) 05:48, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Nooooo no no nooooo. Utterly against this.
First of all other shinobi have gone underground before without it being labelled as Earth Release- I remember that being said somewhere that it's not impossible. Sai did it when he went to speak with Orochimaru for example. Orochimaru himself did it when spying on Team 7.
Secondly where Gaara goes underground, it simply looks like him breaking down the surface of the earth into sand and then submerging himself in it and then reappearing. I believe that it was in that very same filler arc that he said he is able to break down earth and mix this with his own to create even more sand.
Saying that Gaara uses Earth Release is opening a can of worms I don't think we should call down on ourselves.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:09, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
Well, it was clarly meant to be Earth Release. But it's a filler, so if Kurama has fire release then I dont see the problem with this--Elveonora (talk) 16:26, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
- How exactly is it "clearly meant to be earth release" when I just provided plausible explanation that it's simply sand? There's a lot more to consider where Gaara is concerned that Kurama and just arbitrarily handing out nature transformations to people. Kurama and Gaara aren't the same.
- If you check episode 220 you'll see where Gaara says what I stated before as he begins breaking down the earth to form sand. It's not far-fetched that he did the same thing to protect himself.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:32, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
He had no sand in that scene ... he created it after to shield Naruto --Elveonora (talk) 18:30, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
- Like I said before, he stated he was able to break down rocks and minerals into sand.--Cerez365™(talk) 17:16, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
And how you think he do it ? Earth release makes sense --Elveonora (talk) 17:20, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
- How does it make more sense if he never indicated it was Doton and has never used it before? Cerez's point makes more sense given what we know about Gaara's abilities. Skitts (talk) 17:25, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
He made no mention of using Earth Release there. Just simply that he could create sand through that method. During his fight with Kimimaro, Gaara could be said to have done something similar and summoned a huge amount of sand from underground. As far as I know, that was never considered Earth Release, nor were they at a sandy area like in the SWWIV.--Cerez365™(talk) 17:37, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
I think it is pretty obvious that he didn't use Earth Release. Gaara's chakra is messed up and he doesn't have the strength in this specific moment to use any chakra move that requires to consume a great amount of chakra , that would be need to avoid this attack (by blocking with some sort of sand wall , shield etc.). So he just used the sand there was around him. He dug himself underground of a moment and then shown up. This technique would require a too small amount of chakra , so he used this. ISEN (talk)
And here's a picture] I found of Gaara exiting the ground. Note all of the sand. Skitts (talk) 17:45, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
"I believe that it was in that very same filler arc that he said he is able to break down earth and mix this with his own to create even more sand" Quoted from Cerez. I would just like to indicate that it wasn't just that filler arc where this has been mentioned, in his fight with Kimimaro which has been referenced above, Gaara specifically stated that he can break down minerals in the ground to create sand, in particular the hardest minerals in the ground to create the hardest shield, that mini-shukaku thing that Kimimaro failed to bust through. Now while I could go on a tirade about the definition of sand and whether or not Gaara can control any substance of that consistency, all previous notes on his ability do point to this simply being him dodging the attack by reducing the ground beneath him to sand. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 17:49, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
"This technique changes earth into fine sand by channelling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. This effect goes around the body (not just the hands), making it just large enough for a person to move through. The user can pinpoint where they are, despite being underground, by sensing the magnetic forces. They can also sense what is happening on the surface and use that information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.[2][3][4] One can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy can't reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth.[5]" --Elveonora (talk) 19:40, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
@Hawkeye: I actually had the vs. Kimimaro reference but I removed it because I couldn't bother to verify that was what was said. @Eleveonora: ? --Cerez365™(talk) 20:59, April 10, 2012 (UTC) I'm not disputing the fact that Gaara may have nature transformations especially given recent revelations about his heritage etc but I don't think this is a good enough case to cite him as an Earth Release user.--Cerez365™(talk) 20:59, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
sand is basically ground up rock Sand=Stone Stone=Earth Earth manipulation = dotonInhale (talk) 23:03, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
@Cerez, that's the description of Earth Release: Hiding like a mole ... it does not contradict what was shown --Elveonora (talk) 23:38, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Neither does it contradict what Gaara has done before— in the manga— which has never been labelled earth release.--Cerez365™(talk) 23:42, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
Pretty much, I don't care one way or other. It matter little if we list him as a Earth Release user or not. The manga never stated Kurama has wind release either, just that a single swing of it's tail can create tsunami and earthquakes or something akin to that. Also it's chakra is hot, the animators took that as Wind and Fire release ... I don't see how he can break the minerals without earth release or something + what he has shown fits the description of hiding like a mole technique--Elveonora (talk) 23:52, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Last I checked Kurama's chakra is corrosive, not hot. But since we've found a plausible explanation for what he did, I'd say this topic is pretty much concluded. Not because a technique looks like something means it is. Kabuto and his current pirated techniques are a prime example of that.--Cerez365™(talk) 00:02, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
His ability to track has been added as a sensory technique on the sensor page, should he be called a sensor or is that being left solely to those who sense chakra itself, not a contact type?
--Kotoamatsukami (talk) 18:22, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Gaara is not a sensor based on just one technique. I would presume someone is classified as a sensor because they have much more sensitive chakra. --Speysider (Talk Page) 18:23, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
Persons are not being classified as sensors outside of using the "traditional" Chakra Sensing Technique, something similar, or else is called a sensor.--Cerez365™(talk) 18:29, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Karin is: Mind's Eye of the Kagura. What I'm asking is what the requirements to be called a sensor are because Gaara can sense but in an alternative way.
- @ Cerez, fair enough. i was just unsure.
--Kotoamatsukami (talk) 18:33, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
- One with the ability ro detect chakra is an actual sensor. The detection is like another sense (a la Ki sensing in DBZ). Gaara does not do this. Skitts (talk) 03:51, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
Third eye affected by genjutsu?
when mizukage placed the entire battlefield under a genjutsu, it looked like the third eye could see where the mizukage was. does this mean it isn't affected by genjutsu :S--—This unsigned comment was made by Inhale (talk • contribs) .
- Gaara only used the eye after Captain Awesome's genjutsu had ended. Remember he was fighting the mirage so it seems more like Gaara simply left the eye near Ōnoki so he could keep an eye on him.--Cerez365™(talk) 02:45, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
Gaara speed and reaction time
but i was re-watching the gaara and lee fight and noticed Within a split second he escaped from a high level Taijutsu attack and positioned himself hidden and behind Lee.Inhale (talk) 01:13, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

How does Gaara control sand?
How does Gaara control sand? Is it by his wind nature, or is it a kekkei genkai?—This unsigned comment was made by Devster12 (talk • contribs) .
neither as it has never been stated as such. the only explanation given was that gaara infused large amounts of chakra into the sand to give him control over it, it's an ability granted to him and any other host of Shukaku.126.96.36.199 (talk) 08:06, July 4, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan
Since Shukaku is gone, it may have something to do with his mother protecting him and shit--Elveonora (talk) 12:35, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
Just read the article. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:44, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
But his father also could control sand and even gold dust, and he didn't even possess the Shukaku. - Devster12 (talk) 21:51, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
His father had Magnet Release--Elveonora (talk) 22:20, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
Gaara's father could only control gold dust Devster12, not sand. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:48, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Kankurō not listed in family?
Has anyone else noticed that Kankurō is not listed as Gaara's brother in the "Family" section on the side bar of this page? Look closely also at the other members of the family, because I think there were mistakes in the family listings in those, as well. --ScruffyC (talk) 05:42, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Golden Kid of the Kage
I think it should be stated in the different names section in info box for Gaara, that he was also referred to as the "Golden Child of the Kage". Even if it was from one person (second mizukage), its still a title. After all Ino is the only one who calls Sakura "Billboard Forehead" yet its up there for her. --Kyle Ethan (talk) 13:19, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, the correct translation is Golden Egg.—This unsigned comment was made by The Fox King (talk • contribs) .
another name for Gaara:
I reckon the admins of this page should add in "The Golden Egg" in the other names box. really, it is a title for him, said by the mizukage ! :) it deserves to be there, especially since other characters have them sort of titles in their boxes too—This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .

Etymology of his name
Although this is probably a very old topic and of course has never received confirmation, but isn't it extremely likely that Gaara's name comes from Arabic َغَار ghāra "to be jealous". It seems to make a lot of sense based on his backstory and the fact that he is from a desert area. If people are willing to accept this, it could be added to the trivia section. Raigerzero (talk) 20:57, June 23, 2013 (UTC)

Gaara's age in Part II
Do we KNOW he was 15 when Part II started? All that we know is that Naruto was 15, and therefore anyone whose birthday is after Naruto's. --ScruffyC (talk) 15:28, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, as Naruto was 15 at the start of Part II, Gaara who's birthday is like 10 months prior must also be 15.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 15:31, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Besides, the third databook stated that Gaara was 15 in Shippuden. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 15:36, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oh, okay. I thought the databooks only gave the current ages of each character at the time of entry, since we haven't put Shino, for example, as being 15-17 in Part II. --ScruffyC (talk) 14:33, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
This is late.. but check out the Hero Book. That is the first source for Naruto, and Gaara and such being 15 in Shippuden. It is real and is a mini databook. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 04:25, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hampton & Richmond boss Mark Harper is looking to bury the ghost of last year's inglorious FA Cup exit to lower league opposition this time around.
Harper takes his charges to AFC Kempston Rovers of the United Combined League Premier Division tomorrow for the first qualifying round, where they are clear favourites to win.
But still ringing in his ears is last season's 6-2 FA Cup defeat at Arlesey Town of the Evo Stik Southern Premier Division, where they were also the clear favourites.
And on the back of five clean sheets out of five games so far this season, the Beavers are under increased pressure of expectation.
Harper said: "The FA Cup is difficult because when you go to a side a few levels lower than you, you tend to come down to their level.
"That's what we did against a very good Arlesey side last year – we never turned up, we were poor and we just expected it to happen.
"Kempston Rovers have nothing to lose. When you get a higher level side come down to your ground, you take a little bit more of a risk, you put yourself about a bit more and you get players shooting from anywhere.
"We have to stay disciplined and not give Kempston anything to get their confidence up.
"We need to do a professional job and get out of there.
"I am sure that if we're lucky enough to progress through this round and come up against a higher level side, the shoe will be on the other foot."
Harper has a full squad from which to choose his side as Billy Jeffreys and Dean Inman are now back in contention.
The Beavers boss said: "The boys trained very hard on Tuesday night and there were a lot of challenges flying in, which shows me they are committed even in training.
"It was done at a high tempo and hopefully we can take that into Saturday."

'Nooner' or night, Canadians thriving
Toronto's Class A Short-Season affiliate at home in Vancouver
By Benjamin Hill / MiLB.com | August 30, 2012 9:20 AM ET
But fast forward to the present day, and only one entity remains: the Vancouver Canadians. And even they exist at a reduced level, having switched to the Class A Short-Season Northwest League in 2000 after 22 seasons in the Triple-A ranks. The reasons for Canadian professional baseball's precipitous decline are manifold, and some of the common factors cited include cold weather, an increasingly unfavorable exchange rate and heightened border security.
My Minor League travels in the Northwest brought me to Vancouver last week, the final stop of a six-city road trip that had originated in Eugene, Ore. I was eager to experience baseball north of the border. Would I be witnessing the last gasps of a dying culture or something closer to renaissance? After attending two ballgames at 60-year-old Nat Bailey Stadium -- both were sellouts -- I can report this much with certainty: In Vancouver, Minor League Baseball isn't just surviving, it's thriving. Call it a renaissance.
It certainly helps that Nat Bailey Stadium is a wonderful place to attend a ballgame. Built in 1951 (and named after a local restaurant magnate who passionately supported Vancouver baseball), "The Nat" makes up for what it may lack in modern amenities with an old-time atmosphere. The bulk of the stadium's seating is comprised of red wooden benches (no armrests!) situated beneath a curved roof that blankets the spectators in shade. This lends the ballpark a cloistered, nocturnal-even-in-the-daytime feel. And though it's not a great environment for the claustrophobic among us, the acoustics are indisputably phenomenal: chants, heckles, PA announcements and the cries of beer-selling vendors combine into a reverb-drenched ballpark symphony, the likes of which cannot be found, or even hinted at, amidst the wide-open layouts of more modern-day facilities.
And the fans! It was with a sense of wonder (and, yes, some shame on behalf of my American counterparts) that I observed the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch. This was the most full-throated and joyous rendition that I'd ever observed at a Minor League Baseball game, with all able-bodied fans standing and belting it out with uninhibited fervor. That this was occurring in Canada, where baseball isn't even the national pastime, served as a reminder of both the sporting enthusiasm of Vancouverites as well as the lackluster efforts that are often observed here in the states. (I'm not going to name names, but I've been to plenty of parks where the majority of fans couldn't be bothered to stand, let along sing.)
But singing just seems to be something that Vancouver fans enjoy. Canadians president Andy Dunn, who came to his position after a long career as both a Minor and Major League executive in the U.S., marvels at what occurs during each of the team's post-game fireworks displays.
"People up here seem to love having fun at the ballpark, and singing is part of it," Dunn said. "We play a lot of big-hit wonders, and people started singing along a couple of years ago. So now when we put together our music for the fireworks, we play these huge anthems and everyone knows them and it becomes this 5,000-person sing-a-long for 20 minutes during the fireworks show. It's something that we think is a great takeaway and a great memory from spending a night here at the ballpark."
There are plenty of opportunities for daytime memories as well, thanks to the distinctly Vancouver phenomenon that is "Nooners at the Nat." The weekday afternoon contest has proven to be wildly popular, and this season no fewer than nine of the Canadians' 38 home games are of the "Nooner" variety. (To avoid confusion, however, it should be noted that its because the gates that open at noon. The games don't start until 1 p.m.).
"[The Nooner] is something that we inherited when we took over the franchise," said Dunn, who assumed the Canadians presidency in 2007 after a local ownership group bought the franchise. "There was a tradition of playing day baseball in Vancouver. ... So we'll play six to nine of these on what equates to getaway days over the course of the summer. We're averaging 4,500 or 5,000 [fans] an opening, and the promotion is day baseball. There's no giveaway, there's no comp tickets, there's no discount. It's just that people in Vancouver love coming out on a bright blue summer day and watching a little baseball."
It really is that simple. Professional baseball in Canada may be on life support, but the Canadians, paradoxically, are thriving thanks to a classic stadium, a proactive and deeply engaged ownership group and front office staff, and, above all, a passionate fan base. And, of course, their recent affiliation switch to the Toronto Blue Jays (Major League Baseball's sole Canadian entity) has only helped matters.
"It's unbelievable," said Dunn, as he took in the waning moments of the August 24 'Nooner' against the Boise Hawks. "I sit here and I just smile."

Justin Bieber racial slur song is a fake
A racially-charged song believed to have been recorded by Justin Bieber has been exposed as a fake. What She Wants, a new track purportedly sung by the Baby hitmaker, surfaced online earlier this week (ends06Sep13) and drew heavy criticism over its use of the N-word.
The song was immediately taken down by the 19 year old's team, and now editors at TMZ.com report it was actually uploaded by a Bieber imposter.
The prankster is said to have started up a YouTube.com account closely resembling the pop superstar's official page and uploaded the fake track.
The singer behind What She Wants has been named online as Khalil Underwood.
