Gaara (我愛羅) is the youngest child of the Fourth Kazekage. Being raised as a tool of the Sand, Gaara gained the nickname "Gaara of the Sand" (砂瀑の我愛羅, Sabuku no Gaara).

Gaara is the son of the Fourth Kazekage and the younger brother of Temari and Kankuro. Because of Sunagakure's decreases in funds, Gaara's father ordered Chiyo to seal the One-Tailed Shukaku within Gaara during his birth in the hopes that he would become the ultimate weapon for the village. 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 Sunagakure 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 the village. 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, though Gaara's abilities defeated Yashamaru with ease, saddening Gaara. 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 survives the blast and loses 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 Gaara. Realizing that nobody loved him, Gaara used his sand to create the kanji on his forehead (愛, "Love") 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 Gaara became emotionally withdrawn, all but silent, and consumed with a bitter loathing for everyone but himself. 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. 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, albeit 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 7 to acknowledge him, Gaara never had anyone to bond with and did not understand the concept of fighting for anything other than himself until his confrontation with Naruto.
Chunin Exams
Gaara first appears hanging upside down on a tree, telling Kankuro to stop picking on Konohamaru, which instantly silences Kankuro. Sasuke Uchiha is amazed by Gaara's ability to appear out of nowhere, comparing Gaara's speed and stealth to that of Kakashi Hatake.
During the second phase of the Chunin Exams, Gaara demonstrates his thirst for blood by killing the Rain Genin Shigure, who Gaara claims had looked at him the wrong way. Shigure is followed quickly by his teammates, despite their pleas for mercy. Gaara and his team finish 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 is 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 protects him from even Lee's Reverse Lotus, which leaves Lee in no condition to fight after its use. Though Lee's Reverse Lotus does immobilize Gaara, it is not enough to keep Gaara from using his sand to crush Lee's arm and leg, critically injuring him. Gaara tries to kill Lee, but Might Guy intervenes before he can harm Lee any further.
In the final round matches of the Chunin Exams, Gaara is 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 Uchiha, however, Gaara is 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 flee the village while the invasion proceeds without them.
Gaara is pursued by the members of Team 7, which forces Gaara to begin calling upon Shukaku. Gaara managed to pin Sakura to a tree with sand and slowly began to crush her while he fought Sasuke. When Sasuke uses too much of his chakra, Naruto arrived in time to save them both. When Gaara wasn't able to beat the demon fox fueled Naruto, Gaara releases the full force of the Shukaku and even puts himself to sleep to give it full power. However, in in this form Gaara failed to defeat Naruto and Gamabunta and was finally beaten by Gaara. Gaara was puzzled by the fighting spirit Naruto had for those he cares about, which he couldn't understand. Naruto's undying devotion to his friends also surprises Gaara, causing Gaara to realize that Naruto's strength comes from the desire to protect his friends. As Gaara and his siblings flee the scene, Gaara openly apologizes to Kankuro and Temari, which surprises and confuses them. Thanks to Naruto's influence, the defeat proves to be a major turning point for Gaara
Sasuke Retrieval Mission
Team Baki was called by the Fifth Hokage to assist Team Shikamaru in retrieving Sasuke when he defected from Konoha. Gaara arrives to help Rock Lee battle Kimimaro Kaguya. Here Gaara shows his change in personality as he worries about Lee's injuries, the same ones he gave him in the Chunin Exams, while fighting Kimimaro. In the fight, Gaara shows off several new abilities, though he couldn't defeat Orochimaru's disciple, and both he and Lee were almost killed by him though they were saved only by Kimimaro dying from his own terminal disease.
The Sand Siblings would later appear when they become teachers at a Konoha style ninja academy at the Sand. As instructors, Gaara takes on the only student who was willing to train under him, Matsuri. Because of Matsuri's fear of weapons, Gaara trains her to use a jouhyou. When a group of people called the Shiitenshounin kidnap her in order to get Gaara to them so they get Shukaku's chakra in order to take down the major shinobi villages. The Sand calls for aid from Konoha, namely Naruto, Lee, Shikamaru, Ino, Kiba, Choji, Hinata, and Neji. When Gaara catches and attacks the Shiitenshounin leader, Jin but is captured. To escape Gaara does is partial Shukaku transformation reviving the Takumi Village's ultimate weapon, the Seimei. Gaara later destroys the Seimei with a Shukaku's Spear, and kills Jin with a Desert Imperial Funeral.
Part II
Rescue the Kazekage
Gaara is targeted by Akatsuki, who seek the demon within him. Though Gaara is able to fend off one of their agents, Deidara, rather effectively (actually crushing one of Deidara's arms during the battle), Deidara manages to capture Gaara by launching a high-powered clay bomb to destroy the village. Gaara is able to protect his village, but at the expense of much of his chakra, leaving him severely weakened. This allows Deidara to mix a clay bomb with Gaara's sand without the latter noticing, knocking Gaara unconscious once it goes off and allowing Gaara to easily be taken to the Akatsuki hideout.
Although Team Kakashi does their best to save Gaara, they do not arrive in time to stop Akatsuki's extraction of Shukaku, resulting in Gaara's death. However, Chiyo resurrects Gaara with her life-restoring technique in the hopes that it will make up for her sealing of the Shukaku into Gaara years earlier, bringing Gaara back to life at the cost of her own. Gaara is awoken by Naruto, and as he wakes he realizes that he is surrounded by people concerned for him. This is the first time Gaara truly feels loved and not so alone. He also shows his first true smile since he was six, rather than the bloodthirsty grin he often gives.
Before Naruto goes back home, he tries to say goodbye, but admits that it's not something he's good at. Gaara uses 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 the Shukaku's loss is still unknown, this scene shows that he has retained the ability to manipulate 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 use what little sand there is to break apart the 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 (砂縛柩, Sabaku Kyū; English TV "Sand Coffin") to capture, immobilize, and potentially suffocate an opponent with sand. Once the opponent is subdued, he uses Desert Funeral (砂漠送葬, Sabaku Sōsō; English TV "Sand Burial") to cause the sand to crush the opponent with varying intensities. In time he is able to increase the scale of these attacks; by first using Quicksand in the Style of a Waterfall (流砂瀑流, Ryūsa Bakuryū; English TV "Sand Tsunami"), Gaara covers a large area in an ocean of sand, and then uses Desert Imperial Funeral (砂漠大葬, Sabaku Taisō; English TV "Giant Sand Burial") to compress the sand and crush all that it covers. If Desert Imperial Funeral fails to kill an opponent, he can use Prison Sand Burial (獄砂埋葬, Gokusamaisō) to loosen the ground beneath an opponent and allow them to sink hundreds of feet underground, where the sand compresses to such an extent that the opponent is no longer able to move.
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 (砂の盾, Suna no Tate), 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 (砂の鎧, Suna no Yoroi). 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. If need be, Gaara can protect himself before being put into danger by using Desert Prison (砂漠牢, Sabaku Rō), which dedicates a desert's worth of sand to containing a single opponent.
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 (砂分身, Suna Bunshin) 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. Sand Drizzle (砂時雨, Suna Shigure) allows him to collect sand in the air that rains down on the opponent at high speeds in potentially harmful shapes. With Desert Suspension (砂漠浮遊, Sabaku Fuyū) Gaara can use sand as a platform to allow himself and others to float in the air. His Third Eye (第三の眼, Daisan no Me) also allows him to create a floating eyeball of sand in any location that he can see through as a means of spying.
At some point in time Gaara begins to be able to form weapons in Shukaku's likeness. The first that is seen is Ultimate Absolute Defense: Shield of Shukaku (最硬絶対防御・守鶴の盾, Saikō Zettai Bōgyo: Shukaku no Tatte), which creates a toy-like replica of Shukaku that is roughly twice the size of Gaara. Because the replica is formed under extreme pressure and is built of the strongest minerals it is virtually indestructible, having yet to be penetrated by any force. The anime expands on the idea of having an "ultimate defense" by creating an "ultimate attack": Ultimate Absolute Attack: Shukaku's Spear (Saikō Zettai Hōgeki: Shukaku no Hōkō). The attack creates a spear under the same conditions as the replica, only the blade resembles one of Shukaku's claws. Like the shield, this attack has yet to meet a defense it can't break.
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. While in this form Gaara can use Sand Shuriken (砂手裏剣, Suna Shuriken) to hurl sand-based forms of shurikens at an opponent. Shukaku also gives him the ability to utilize wind-based attacks such as Wind Release: Infinite Sand Cloud Great Breakthrough (風遁・無限砂塵 大突破, Fūton: Mugen Sajin Daitoppa; English "Wind Style: Sandstorm Devastation"), which spews large amounts of sand from his mouth, devastating both the enemy and a large area 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 (狸寝入りの術, Tanuki Neiri no Jutsu; English TV "Play Possum Jutsu"), which forces him to sleep to allow the 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. While Gaara is initially dependent on waking independently or through someone else's intervention to regain control of his body, he begins to be able to suppress Shukaku by himself towards the end of the anime's filler arcs. By the time Part II begins, Gaara is even capable of using numerous Shukaku arms for attack without losing control of himself.
In Part II, Gaara is captured by Deidara of Akatsuki and the Shukaku is extracted from his body, causing his death. Chiyo, regretting the life she gave Gaara when she sealed Shukaku in his body years earlier,[1] gives up her life, using her puppet revival technique, to bring him back to life. While he no longer possesses the Shukaku, Gaara is still able to manipulate sand, as proven when he uses it to pull Naruto's hand towards his for a handshake, though greater degrees of control has yet to be seen.

For almost a week, my nipples have been sore and my whole breasts (esp the left) have been painful (not unbearable but a little throbbing-like).
At first, i thought it was because my 19 m/o is getting molars and one nipple looks like he hurt it a little. And now today, my period started, so they might be sensitive from that.
But, the left one is really getting uncomfortable tonight, and i just noticed a small, scabbed sore under the nipple-area.
DS only nurses at night; i dont feel any clogged ducts. No fever or other health issues.
Do you think i should wait a few days and see if this is all from my period, or should i call the doctor?

Wikimedia Scandal: Proof Of Unreliability Or Confirmation That Crowdsourcing Works?
from the guess-who-caught-the-bad-guys dept
And so we have another such story, in which Roger Bramkin, Wikimedia trustee, is being accused of running a pay-for-play system using Wikipedia's "Did You Know" and GLAM projects to keep his day job clients in the wiki bloodstream. Essentially, it appears Bramkin took the country of Gibraltar on as a consulting client and then routinely pumped their stories into Wikipedia.
Roger Bamkin, trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK, whose LinkedIn page describes him as a high-return-earning PR consultant, appeared to be using Wikipedia's main page "Did You Know" feature and the resources of Wikipedia's GLAM WikiProject (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) initiative to pimp his client's project.Now, it would be easy for anyone so inclined to throw their hands around and make a great deal of noise about how this proves Wikipedia's unreliability. Crowdsourcing, it would seem, has led to corruption of the bloodstream. This hand-wringing would be particularly easy in light of a second such Wikipedian in Residence (an editor held in high esteem) being found to have run a similar operation focused on SEO and Wikipedia pages for paying clients. Wikipedians in Residence are typically required to recuse themselves from editing pages in which they have a conflict of interest, and these incidences seem to violently violate those rules.
But here's what is being swept under the rug with all the hand-waving: it was the Wikipedia community members who found all this out and are bringing it to light. This entire incident began on a Wikipedia discussion page over abuse of DYK and that is exactly how Wikipedia is supposed to work. So, while conflicts of interest issues and erroneous entries in Wikipedia are certainly a huge concern, it is selective bias at work to point to them as examples for why crowdsourcing information doesn't work while also failing to mention that the same crowd was responsible for its ceasing.

From Mars to Gothic novels, Sherman's podcasts deliver
Literature Lab brings scholars and critics to listeners. Now available on iTunes, for freeDavid Sherman has a lengthy commute to Brandeis, including a fair amount of walking through Cambridge before he jumps on the train. So what does the assistant professor of English do to fill the void? Listen to podcasts.
In 2011, during a period of frustration at being unable to find exactly what he was looking for, Sherman created Literature Lab, a podcast series of interviews with literary critics and scholars [listen now], which can now be downloaded on iTunes. The one on one interviews, led by Sherman, allow listeners to get inside the minds of scholars, who dissect information ranging from literary innuendos to large concepts.
"I love the field of literary studies," says Sherman, who came to Brandeis four years ago after teaching at New York University "It can seem esoteric, it can seem abstract or removed, but I think literary studies is compelling as it brings up fundamental questions and exciting problems that make the pleasure we take in reading a novel or a poem much richer."
Sherman's personal field of research is Modernism, specifically early 20th century British and American writing with a focus on Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, T.S. Eliot and James Joyce. He's also investigating how Modernism was a response to changes in the way that people died and how people tended to the dying. The book he is working on explains how the literature of the period helped people think through this anxiety.
In the spring, Sherman will be teaching a course called Literature and Medicine, which investigates literary representations of sickness, healing and the doctor/patient relationship. The class is a part of a movement called the medical humanities, which helps people training in the field of medicine to be more sensitive to their patients.
Sherman says that a critical approach to literature is part of a passionate approach, which was the premise behind the Literature Lab project.
"To spend time thinking critically about what literature does and what it means, is part of the pleasure of reading it, says Sherman.
Thanks to the support of the Theodore and Jane Norman Fund at Brandeis, which supports faculty research, creative projects or course development, Sherman has produced seven podcasts and a list of upcoming guests. Among the podcasts that are ready for downloading include John Paul Riquelme from Boston University who talks about the literary genre that will not die: The Gothic Novel.
How do vampires, zombies and other undead inhabit the literary imagination? What does the darkness of the gothic mean and why do we need it? And why does the darkness of this dark world give such pleasure?
Riquelme traces the strange life of the Gothic and how it's changed from it's heyday in the end of the 19th century into the 20th century, and how it has affected literary practice.
An interview with Robert Waxler, professor at UMass Dartmouth, focuses on Changing Lives through Literature – a program for convicts that incorporates literature class as part of a condition for probation. Waxler is one two people to initiate the program, which began in 1991 and is now being incorporated nationwide. The alternative sentencing program relies on the deep power literary narrative to fundamentally transform the sense of self and possibility that one carries into the world.
By discussing books, such as James Dickey's "Deliverance" and Jack London's "Sea Wolf," the men began to investigate and explore aspects of themselves, to listen to their peers, to increase their ability to communicate ideas and feelings to men of authority who they thought would never listen to them, and to engage in dialogue in a democratic classroom where all ideas were valid.
Instead of seeing their world from one angle, they began opening up to new perspectives and started realizing that they had choices in life. Literature became a road to insight.
"The recidivism rate is dramatically lower for those who go through this program than for those who go to prison," says Sherman.
Another podcast is with Harvard professor Nicholas Watson, who explained medieval concepts of the imagination and representations of the mind in medieval literature.
"The interview is about a very different, alien, pre-modern way of thinking about what consciousness is, how we create something new with our mind," says Sherman.
Watson makes the connection between medieval imaginative theory or theory of mind and the recent structures of knowledge related to the Internet or networking.
Soon available for downloading will be an interview with Professor Emeritus, U Mass Boston Robert Crossley, who discusses Mars writing in science fiction, the way Mars has been imagined in literature.
Sherman interviews his guests in person, then spends hours editing the audio on his computer. Jon Sudholt, a PhD student in the English department, also edits episodes and maintains the website. The goal, Sherman says, is for this to be a discipline-wide project. Now that the podcast is more established, he is looking forward to bringing professors from the Brandeis literature and language departments on board.
Sherman says he was influenced to begin his project by the work he had listened to on Philosophy Bites, a series of interviews with academic philosophers, focused specific concepts.
"They've done a great job in showing how academic work in philosophy matters to everyday life - how it can be of interest to anybody outside of academia," says Sherman. "I wanted to do the same thing with literary studies."
Sherman says there are a lot of people who enjoy what they read, think about the works and feel passionate about them, but very few who know what those in literary studies have researched the books that they like to read.
"I want to expose our work to a wide audience," Sherman says. "I want anybody who reads and enjoys reading to have exposure to some of the ideas that these experts are working on."

Essentially, the guy believes that the secret service guy in the car behind Kennedy's shot him on accident. M16 that was brand new, they were filled with hollow point bullets. Oswald was using FMJ's where they are more prone to go through the target without much destruction. Hollow points leave big holes because they expand and such. Guards were out til 5AM the night before, the guard in the car behind Kennedy was on his first day on duty, never handled the brand new M16s yet. Measured the trajectory of Kennedy's head exploding and it shows the shot came from behind, to the left, and a little bit below him, where the guard was sitting. People on the streets reported smelling gun powder and swear they thought Secret Service was "firing back". Makes more sense to me than anything else I've heard on the subject. Secret Service didn't want to look like idiots so they gathered up all the photos and reports and don't know where they are now, and wouldn't let the autopsy happen right there in Texas.
DropEmJayBird wrote:Now - the fatal shot. Obviously the shot came from behind Kennedy (not from the front, as obviously as the "back and to the right" is an exit wound), but based on the trajectory he says the fatal shot came from a much lower trajectory, most likely the secret service car behind the president.

U.S.: We Have No Evidence Or Credibility On This Whatsoever, But Don't Use Huawei Because China Might Spy On You
from the inconsistent-standards dept
Never mind that almost all network gear is made in China (whether the company is Chinese or not). Never mind that obviously NSA allegations show the United States spies on almost everyone, constantly. Never mind that reports have emerged that a lot of the spy allegations are originating with their competitor Cisco. Huawei is a spy. We're sure of it. And covert network snooping is bad. When China does it.
The constant allegations ultimately scuttled Huawei's attempt to bring more gear competition to the United States market, blocked Huawei's potential bid on a nationwide U.S. first responder network, and the United States has since been working hard to ensure that other countries don't use Huawei gear either. According to the Wall Street Journal, after convincing Australia to ditch Huawei gear, the United States is also warning South Korea that Huawei might just be a spy, apparently citing all of the non-existent evidence already mentioned:
"In meetings with their South Korean counterparts in recent months, senior U.S. officials pointed to what Washington sees as a risk that Huawei's equipment could be used for spying on communications among the close partners, as well as compromise secure networks used by American military personnel and intelligence officers in South Korea, U.S. officials said."The idea that somebody would indiscriminately spy using network gear sure sounds terrifying. Fortunately, United States to South Korea communications will instead rely on gear from any number of network hardware vendors, whose equipment is also built in China -- in many instances in the exact same factories by the exact same workers. Not to say China is an angel or doesn't spy (though I should note their gear is considered good enough to filter UK porn), but at this juncture the United States giving lectures on network privacy is like Lindsay Lohan giving advice on balanced and healthy living. Gosh, one would hate to think that years of trotting Huawei out as a political bogeyman pinata was all just an elaborate song and dance put on simply to sell more Cisco and Juniper routers.

The most efficient way to cook!
Induction cooktops utilize 90% of the energy produced compared to 50% used by other cooking methods. Induction recognizes the base of the cookware and directly heats only the diameter of the pot, so very little energy is wasted… saving you money while remaining eco-friendly.
Rapid Cooking Precision at Your Fingertips
FAGOR induction cooktops are equipped with sleek touch controls and are easy to operate. For precise cooking needs, you can select from 12 cooking settings. Three quick launch commands allow you to select a low, medium or high temperature with a simple touch. Power varies from 50 to 3600W, for a premium cooking performance.
Cooking Versatility
FAGOR's 30" induction cooktop is equipped with four high efficiency induction elements to offer maximum flexibility. Elements will not activate unless detecting induction ready cookware. Cooking zones automatically adjust energy output to suit the diameter of the cookware.
Extremely Durable Ceramic Glass Top for a Cooler Kitchen
FAGOR induction cooktops' glass surface is very resistant to heat variations. Since the glass top doesn't conduct heat, cooking with FAGOR induction cooktops allow you to keep your kitchen cooler. Easy to mantain. The cool cooktop prevents spills from baking onto the surface making clean up a breeze!

Men's basketball guard Grant Gibbs has been awarded a sixth season of eligibility, Creighton University was notified by the NCAA today. Gibbs led the Missouri Valley Conference in assists each of the last two seasons and will be a senior for the Bluejays in 2013-14. With Gibbs in the line-up the past two seasons, Creighton is 57-14 and is one of 13 teams to earn NCAA Tournament victories in both campaigns.
The Marion, Iowa, native averaged 8.5 points, 5.8 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game last season, when he joined Syracuse's Michael Carter-Williams as the nation's only players with at least 300 points, 200 assists and 145 rebounds.
Gibbs' return gives Creighton four returning starters from a team that went 28-8 last season and swept MVC regular-season and tournament titles in 2012-13. The Bluejays joined the BIG EAST Conference on Monday.

Discusson of Blogs by Linda Glaz
There's been a lot of discussion lately on the importance or lack thereof of blogs. How do you all feel about blogging? Do you see promotion of your work, your sites, your ability to reach out or is blogging simply another obstacle to your writing?
Obviously, you want others to go to your blog, comment, help you draw their readers from their blogs to yours. Do you go to the other blogs or do you get "blogged down" with all the sites you need to visit?
Does blogging distract you from the immediate issue at hand? Your writing time...
Have you done a professional blog site? Are the results worth the time? Are you concerned with numbers, or the level of bloggers who follow you? In other words, are you a blog "snob" crunching numbers and name dropping?
Just thought I'd throw this out there and see whether you do or don't put much emphasis on blogs. Be part of the discussion. Care to share any thoughts?

I've been blogging for 6 or 7 years, but only moved my blog to a self-hosted Wordpress site two years ago. I really do think it is important, though it's frustrating trying to build a readership (especially one that COMMENTS!)
Personally, I'm aiming my blog more at readers than writers. I don't know what I can really add to the great writers-on-writing blogs there are out there, so I'm not trying. However, finding readers when I don't yet have a book out is probing in the dark, too.
I'm trying to be focused and consistent in what I'm doing. I'm also paying attention to what google searches are bringing people to my site and planning specific future posts so people with those searches will find more than one post when they arrive.
That's my take. Today, at least.

Hi Linda,
I started a blog last year and kept it up pretty good until I had writing deadlines.
Since I work a full-time job too, I let the blog go to focus on my writing. I was posting every day and just couldn't keep up and/or keep it fresh.
So here's my question about blogging...how often is often enough? Daily, three times a week? Anyone have thoughts on this?
I do agree with Valerie, I was posting with writer's in mind and maybe should be changing that to readers but then what subject matter do readers want to see in a blog?

I worked with a lady who sets up blogs, sites, etc. for folks, and teaches classes on blogging. She says 3-4 times a week is needed to increase traffic. I've found that when I blog that often, folks don't comment as much. I try for 2x a week, but often fail that when things are crazy here. More often than not, blogs about writing techniques, etc. tend to be the best ones. I just can't keep up with the 3-4x a week, but Patty does it well and maintains multiple blogs to boot!

Rose, I committed to blogging Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Monday I post according to my personal interests--the ones that keep showing up in my books, anyway. Key right now is local food/green living, so I'm often posting in-season recipes.
Wednesdays I post reviews for current Christian novels. Although I rarely get comments on these, probably a third of my traffic comes from people googling for reviews, so I'll keep it up.
Fridays are about writing, with forays into family and fun. I'm starting into some posts about marketing as I gear for my first release.
I'd suggest taking a look at your brand and your stories' common themes and start blogging around those interests. I, at least, am hoping that readers who like what I like will eventually find me!
As for time to blog, sometimes it's scarce, but I do try to set up the posts for the coming week on the weekends.

I LOVE blogging. NO idea if I'm reaching the right people (guessing I'm not, actually), but it is certainly building my recognition, if nothing else. This year I"m committed to three times a week minimum.

Oh Linda, my favorite topic. LoL
Blogging is... hmmm. Fun, frustrating, addicting (for some of us *oops*), and useful, among many other things. Blogging is what has built whatever platform I have and yes, I love it. It does distract me and is my favorite form of procrastination, but it also spurs me on and has become a ministry and a way for me to reach outside the four walls of my home and my world. It's been very worth my time and has saved my sanity many months. I even blog on blogging. *eye roll*
Blogging is one of those things in life that I really don't understand the why of it.
Yes, I do name drop. =] It's a way of connecting, giving credit where it's due, introducing people, and 'sharing the love'. LoL. I know it helps the stats or rankings or whatever, but that's not my purpose. *shrug* Stats are important but they aren't everything. If I had to choose between stats and sanity, I'd choose sanity. ;-)
I know blogging doesn't work for everyone but I'm so very thankful for my blog. Er, make that my blogs. LoL. I feel it's something God has given me to do and a way I can help others--readers and writers.

I blog biweekly - not much, I know. I aim for inspirational rather than instructional and receive many comments via email and Facebook. At one point I had two blogs, one a spin-off from a weekly column I wrote for a daily in California. I have suspended that blog and stick with the main one for brief inspirational thoughts. Already I've earned a writing contract from a major publisher who made the decision based on my online writing.
Sometimes I guest-blog, but for my own site, biweekly is enough. I need to give every minute of my writing time to a monthly column for a national nonprofit, another for the local paper, and primarily to my novel pursuits: creating, tightening, revising, etc.
Honestly, I hope the blog simply serves to show an interested editor/publisher that I am serious enough about my writing to stay at it over the long haul.

I also have a day job, and lack time to write at all. But I want to keep up my blog, so I use it to post links to writing articles and showcase other authors' work.

I'm having a giggle at your post today, Linda. I had been contemplating a blog for some time before my editor gave me the final push. Apparently, after 15 years of AP format writing I began sliding a bit too much snark into dry story assignments. Her quote: "For the love of all that's holy, blog! There is no room for wit in politics and police blotters!" So to answer your question: I blog for the love of creative writing and the security of a weekly paycheck. Happy New Year!

I've kept a blog of notes from Bible studies I attend since November of 2004, it helps me remember the teachings I receive from my Pastor and others. Today I started a new blog with an eye to sharing ways that helped me heal from abuse. I will see how that goes. I'm writing a memoir on my healing from abuse and wanted to share with others what worked for me. I am giving the link to the Bible study blog. What is cool is that people from around the world check out the blog and there are some sites that people love. Have a blessed New Year

It's fun to hear from strangers, isn't it? Especially when you share a bond...
- January 2, 2012 at 6:26 PM
I agree with Valerie. It's important to write your blog for your target audience(reader). I post twice a week, Mondays are faith posts, after all I write Christian fiction, and Wednesday's are about country living, from how to's on canning, cooking, sewing, gardening, etc. I write historical fiction, so this ties in well with my research. For example, I shared a recipe last week from what my heroine was cooking.
It is fun to hear from strangers, especially when they then become our online friend. :)

I think that if writers enjoy blogging, then they should do it. If they don't, then what they gain isn't worth it. Blogging works well for some people and for other it doesn't. Often, it is just the luck of the draw whether a site has a lot of readers and many comments or if it has very few. Even when considering well known authors, most of us are going to fall into the very few category. In that case, the blog is for those who do actually read it, but it is also for Google. The more information and links we can put out in cyberspace that points back to us, the more likely it is that someone will find us and our books through a random search. Occassionally, lightning strikes and that results in significant hits and book sales.

One thing that I've learned is that when someone leaves a comment it is helpful to respond and maybe try to read at least one of their posts. Comments begat comments. Sometimes it isn't easy. Lately I haven't been visiting my subscriber's blogs and I notice the lack of response to my posts as a result.
Have a blessed day.

I've been blogging on Word Press for five or six years but it was not until I began posting on all three blogs for the Jingle Poetry site that I began to get more followers and subscribers.
Marketing is most difficult for me. The blogs help, but I'm hoping this site and others like it will help me go forward.

Don't quit trying. Patty, above, is the queen of blogging as she blogs on many sites. I do think the more visibility, eventually, the more sales. Keep at it.
