My GOODNESS!
That is one SERIOUSLY VIGILANT and SUPERLATIVELY DISAPPROVING rabbit, there, standing sentinel over his bunny comrade!
What a diligent rabbit!
To inspire such diligence, the sleeping comrade must also be a shining example of Bunkind!
Our stoopidity will not wash with these two! We've got NO CHANCE! - 3:59 PM
- muneezz said...
Who knows what stupidity lurks in the minds of bunneh parents?
The Alfred knows!!!!
Tuppence is sweet... like "Al, my man, take a chill pill bud." - 4:42 PM
- Manu said...
Yep, Alfred is the ferocious little dwarf guard-rabbit, while Tuppence is the gentle Giant, happy to chill and let him do all the disapproving.
She loves everybody and everything, so he maximises his crankiness to make up for her sad lack of Disapproval. - 5:21 PM
- Furbeast said...
"...and so my little kits, as you go to sleep, remember the legend of Alfred and Tuppence, noble and steadfast warriors guarding all of bunnydom, who vowed never to rest in unison until hoomins cease being stupid. Thus, their brave vigil is destined to last through eternity. Now, hop into your nestbox and goodnight!"
- J. said...
Did Alfred get a comeuppance from Tuppence?
Also love the phrase "ferocious little dwarf guard-rabbit." Very Monty Python (and describes some people I know). - 5:58 PM
- The Fab Furs said...
Tuppence and Alfred, the yin and the yang of bun disapproval.
- SixBunnies said...
Manu, you have a great pair of buns there! Those chill buns are few and far between, but aren't they a joy? All bunnies have their own personalities. And no hoomin is worthy of theym ...
and, to J: I just got an issue of Think Geek and there are Monty Python Killer Rabbit house shoes! They are great! Gotta Get Some! - 7:46 PM
- Flicka said...
- Ijon Tichy the Nth said...
... I can just feel how my day could slip away, gazing at these two. Don't want to think what would happen if I ever found myself in their presence :-)
- Manu said...
SixBunnies: Thanks! We have half as many as you do, though Gwen ( http://www.disapprovingrabbits.com/2011/04/gwendolyn.html )lives separately for now, due to the Extreme Disapproval that exists between her and this newcomer Tuppence...but we hope patience will win out in the end. Tuppence is a *very* chill bun, comes with being a Giant I believe...I don't think she could ever disapprove of anything, it's just not in her nature.
Ijon: tell me about it....many are the hours spent at floor-level with them. Tuppence radiates such Approval, that it's impossible to not get sucked in by it and feel happy. Every day I find myself sitting with her when I really hadn't planned on it... - 6:21 AM
- Sarah Jane said...
These two are just lush, <3 love them!
shameless bit of plugging here hope thats okay!! bunny friends.. firstly we have our own blog which all about bunny diets in a comical way!
bunnynomnom.blogspot.com :) thank you!
and secondly, if any facebookers could vote for Pebbles I would love you forever! would be nice for a rescue bun to win!
Love Disapproving Rabbits! - 10:21 AM
- Fleetie said...
These two pictures are amazing! Especially the bottom one!
They are such lovely, wonderful rabbits; so full of personality!
I wish I could snuggle with both of them and go all gooey and tell them how special they are!
And I remember Gwendolyn, from April! She is also a fierce disapprover!
Give them all a snuggle from me! - 1:32 PM
- Manu said...
Fleetie- Alfred rarely accepts snuggles, but Tuppence makes up for that by practically rolling over for pats. I just gave her a hug for you- she sighed and closed her eyes. Yes, a very big tough thing she is. ;-)
Gwen is more likely to amputate fingers than accept a cuddle, but we love her anyway...
The day they all Disapprove while sitting together peacefully, I hope to get a photo of it and it'll appear here. :-) - 8:17 PM
- Fleetie said...
Perhaps Tuppence is such a bliss-bunny now because she is so much happier in her new forever home than she was at her previous place.
Where did she come from? - 6:49 AM
- anonymous said...
Waiting for Bundot?
- Manu said...
@Fleetie- her previous home was almost a dinner plate!
We bought her (as an exception to our rescue/shelter-only rule) from a farm, where she and a dozen sisters were being sold for meat. It was buy her, or let her be killed for the dinner table. She just looked too sweet to leave to that fate...so we saved her and three of her sisters. We passed those girls on to our local shelter, where one is now the loved family pet, and the other two are up for adoption. :-) - 1:11 AM
- Fleetie said...
That is awful!
But you saved her beautiful bunny life.
Now perhaps you know why she loves you so much and why she is so happy.
Thank-you for saving her and her sisters. - 2:59 PM
- Manu said...
Mm, these bunnies were being kept in pretty sad conditions (mucky, cramped quarters outdoors), so we were very happy to get them out of there. (I don't mind keeping animals for food, so long as they're very well looked after and humanely treated, and this was borderline.)
I think they were very happy to be outta there too! We've had Tuppence since she was only a wee baby, so she's come to grow up and see us as her big siblings, we think. Such a big loveable lug, currently teenaged, all legs and ears and craving attention. :-)
Feel free to email me if you want to see her facebook albums, she's quite the photogenic little thing. :-) - 2:29 AM
- Fleetie said...
When I click on your name, I don't see a link there that lets me mail you.
But I would like to see her FB pics, please! - 6:57 AM
- Manu said...
Aha, I had to click a box. Done. :)
Ah, you're on facebook? Cool. Tuppence can befriend you. ;-) - 8:43 AM

North American Herb & Spice: FlaviCorn
Since at least the first century A.D. corn has been an essential part of human nutrition. This was not the same as the corn grown today. It was completely different and far more powerful. It was so important for the nutrition of the ancients that it was revered. The natives, particularly of South and Central America, knew that their version of corn was more than just food. The Spanish made this discovery and, according to J. Finan in his review Maize in the Great Herbals, used it "as a healthful food."
Of course, the natives used the original corn for bread and also for wafers. Yet, they also mixed it with eggs for a nutritious meal. Also, they often mixed walnuts with ground corn or corn flour. This would have helped balance the amino acids and fatty acids, as well as balance the glycemic index. In Peru the natives extracted highly nutritious oil from the kernels and used it in cooking.
Purple corn (Zea mays L., Poaceae) is a very unique Andean crop from the low valleys of the Andes Mountains of Peru. It is found in areas over ten thousand feet above sea level, where its origins predate Incan civilization. Many different varieties of purple corn exist, all of them originating from an ancestral line called "Kculli." The Kculli line is truly ancient; objects in the shape of these particular ears of corn have been found at archeological sites along the central coast dating back more than 2,500 years.
Purple corn has been a staple of the Peruvian diet since antiquity, not only for its soft, refreshing flavor, but also for its unique nutritional content. Purple corn is a superb antioxidant containing substantial amounts of phenols and anthocyanins, among other phytochemicals. Anthocyanins are a type of complex, water-soluble flavonoid that displays antioxidant values higher than traditional antioxidant foods. Anthocyaninins are also responsible for the deep blue and purple color of FlaviCorn. With purple corn, the kernel pericarp (the outer layer of the kernel) has the highest concentration of anthocyanins. When the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) was compared to that of blueberries, purple corn was found to be three times more powerful an antioxidant. This is an interesting fact, since blueberries have long been touted as one of the most powerful natural antioxidants.
What makes FlaviCorn different from other purple corn products is that you get the true, uncooked purple corn extract. With most products a dry powder form capsule is all you get. FlaviCorn retains all the vital nutrients and living enzymes contained in purple corn in their natural, most valuable state.
FlaviCorn, among other completely natural, Amazon-source products now available from North American Herb & Spice, is the result of a new initiative that not only unveils a whole new world of unique products, but also addresses another vital issue. The Amazon Rainforest has long been threatened by deforestation. In some areas what was once a fertile river has now been reduced to nothing more than a trickling stream. At the current rate of deforestation, the Amazon Rainforest will be reduced by forty percent over the next two decades. Our efforts to promote a sustainable agricultural industry within the Amazon Rainforest are in hopes of realigning an individuals perception of what is the most valuable and ecologically responsible use for the Amazon Rainforest region. By supporting such an industry, we can all do our part to make an effective change in the world that will benefit generations to come.
How to use FlaviCorn:
Take 20 or more drops in juice or water once daily.

CANTON - The only St. Lawrence County-wide primary race Tuesday pits three Republicans against each other for two coroner positions.
I would encourage people to go out there and vote, said June H. Wood, Hopkinton, the only incumbent running.
Polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m.
Russell B. Lawrence III, Morristown, a long-time coroner is retiring, which has encouraged others to run. In addition to Republicans Steven M. Cary, Canton, and Kevin J. Crosby, Morristown, Democrat Eric J. Warner, Lisbon, is running. He will be on the ballot in the general election in November.
Ms. Wood is in her third term as a coroner and believes her experience is key to her campaign.
She is a licensed funeral home director, a member of the Parishville-Hopkinton Fire Rescue & Dive Team, a rescue squad captain in critical care, an advanced emergency medical technician with Tri-Town Rescue Squad and an instructor in advanced EMT at SUNY Canton. She assists at autopsies and is accredited as a medical/legal death scene investigator through the New York State Association of County Coroners and Medical Examiners.
She is active with the Stop-DWI program, acting as the coroner at mock drills.
Ive been around, she said.
Mr. Crosby believes his experience in the fire and EMS fields would serve him well as coroner. He is chief of the Morristown Fire Department, an EMT and superintendent of public works in the village of Morristown.
He was endorsed by Central Trades and Labor Council.
I definitely appreciate that, he said. Im looking forward to doing the job and serving the county.
Mr. Crosby said he thinks having coroners spread geographically around the county makes sense even though they respond wherever they are needed.
Mr. Cary also believes he has the experience to be coroner. He is a licensed funeral home director, working with Joseph E. White, Russell, another coroner, at OLeary Funeral Service, Canton, and has been a coroners assistant. He has volunteered with fire and rescue services in Canton and Potsdam.
I see all ends of what the job entails, Mr. Cary said. Ive worked a lot with June.
Jamie Sienkiewycz, Massena, is the fourth coroner in the St. Lawrence County. His post is not on the ballot this year.

Streptococcus pneumoniae
Wikimedia Commons has media related to Streptococcus pneumoniae. |
Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a Gram-positive, alpha-hemolytic, facultative anaerobic member of the genus Streptococcus.[1] A significant human pathogenic bacterium, S. pneumoniae was recognized as a major cause of pneumonia in the late 19th century, and is the subject of many humoral immunity studies.
S. pneumoniae resides asymptomatically in the nasopharynx of healthy carriers. The respiratory tract, sinuses, and nasal cavity are the parts of host body that are usually infected. However, in susceptible individuals, such as elderly and immunocompromised people and children, the bacterium may become pathogenic, spread to other locations and cause disease. S. pneumoniae is the main cause of community acquired pneumonia and meningitis in children and the elderly, and of septicemia in HIV-infected persons. The methods of transmission include sneezing, coughing, and direct contact with an infected person.
Despite the name, the organism causes many types of pneumococcal infections other than pneumonia. These invasive pneumococcal diseases include bronchitis, rhinitis, acute sinusitis, otitis media, conjunctivitis, meningitis, bacteremia, sepsis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, endocarditis, peritonitis, pericarditis, cellulitis, and brain abscess.[2]
S. pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of bacterial meningitis in adults and young adults, along with Neisseria meningitidis, and is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in adults in the USA. It is also one of the top two isolates found in ear infection, otitis media.[3] Pneumococcal pneumonia is more common in the very young and the very old. It also is a major bacterium for invasive diseases like pneumonia and meningitis in South Asian children 12 years of age, though the evidence is of low quality and scarce.[4]
S. pneumoniae can be differentiated from Streptococcus viridans, some of which are also alpha-hemolytic, using an optochin test, as S. pneumoniae is optochin-sensitive. S. pneumoniae can also be distinguished based on its sensitivity to lysis by bile, the so-called "bile solubility test". The encapsulated, Gram-positive coccoid bacteria have a distinctive morphology on Gram stain, lancet-shaped diplococci. They have a polysaccharide capsule that acts as a virulence factor for the organism; more than 90 different serotypes are known, and these types differ in virulence, prevalence, and extent of drug resistance.
In 1881, the organism, known as the pneumococcus for its role as an [etiologic agent] of pneumonia, was first isolated simultaneously and independently by the U.S. Army physician George Sternberg[5] and the French chemist Louis Pasteur.[6]
The organism was termed Diplococcus pneumoniae from 1920[7] because of its characteristic appearance in Gram-stained sputum. It was renamed Streptococcus pneumoniae in 1974 because of its growth in chains in liquid growth media.
S. pneumoniae played a central role in demonstrating genetic material consists of DNA. In 1928, Frederick Griffith demonstrated transformation of life, turning harmless pneumococcus into a lethal form by co-inoculating the live pneumococci into a mouse along with heat-killed, virulent pneumococci.[8] In 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty demonstrated the transforming factor in Griffith's experiment was DNA, not protein, as was widely believed at the time.[9] Avery's work marked the birth of the molecular era of genetics.[10]
The genome of S. pneumoniae is a closed, circular DNA structure that contains between 2.0 and 2.1 million base pairs, depending on the strain. It has a core set of 1553 genes, plus 154 genes in its virulome, which contribute to virulence, and 176 genes that maintain a noninvasive phenotype. Genetic information can vary up to 10% between strains.[11]
Transformation in S. pneumoniae[edit]
Natural bacterial transformation involves the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another through the surrounding medium. Transformation is a complex, developmental process requiring energy, dependent on expression of numerous genes. In S. pneumoniae at least 23 genes are required. In order for a bacterium to bind, take up and recombine exogenous DNA into its chromosome it must enter a special physiological state, called competence.
Competence, in S. pneumoniae, is induced by DNA-damaging agents such as mitomycin C, a DNA inter-strand cross-linking agent, and the fluoroquinolone antibiotics norfloxacin, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, topoisomerase inhibitors that cause double-strand breaks.[12] Transformation protects S. pneumoniae against the bactericidal effect of mitomycin C.[13] Michod et al.[14] summarized evidence that induction of competence in S. pneumoniae is associated with increased resistance to oxidative stress and increased expression of the RecA protein, a key component of the recombinational repair machinery for removing DNA damages. On the basis of these findings, they suggested that transformation is an adaptation for repairing oxidative DNA damages. S. pneumoniae infection stimulates polymorphonuclear leukocytes (granulocyte) to produce an oxidative burst that is potentially lethal to the bacteria. The ability of S. pneumoniae to repair the oxidative DNA damages in its genome, caused by this host defense, likely contributes to this pathogen's virulence.
S. pneumoniae is part of the normal upper respiratory tract flora, but, as with many natural flora, it can become pathogenic under the right conditions, like if the immune system of the host is suppressed. Invasins, such as pneumolysin, an anti-phagocytic capsule, various adhesins and immunogenic cell wall components are all major virulence factors.
Interaction with Haemophilus influenzae[edit]
Both Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) and S. pneumoniae can be found in the human upper respiratory system. A study of competition in vitro revealed S. pneumoniae overpowered H. influenzae by attacking it with hydrogen peroxide.[15]
When both bacteria are placed together into the nasal cavity of a mouse, within 2 weeks, only H. influenzae survives. When both are placed separately into a nasal cavity, each one survives. Upon examining the upper respiratory tissue from mice exposed to both bacteria, an extraordinarily large number of neutrophil immune cells were found. In mice exposed to only one bacterium, the cells were not present.
Lab tests show neutrophils that were exposed to already-dead H. influenzae were more aggressive in attacking S. pneumoniae than unexposed neutrophils. Exposure to killed H. influenzae had no effect on live H. influenzae.
Two scenarios may be responsible for this response:
- When H. influenzae is attacked by S. pneumoniae, it signals the immune system to attack the S. pneumoniae
- The combination of the two species sets off an immune system alarm that is not set off by either species individually.
It is unclear why H. influenzae is not affected by the immune system response.[16]
Diagnosis is generally made based on clinical suspicion along with a positive culture from a sample from virtually any place in the body. An ASO Titre of >200 units is significant.[2] S. pneumoniae is, in general, optochin sensitive, although optochin resistance has been observed.[17]
Atromentin and leucomelone possess antibacterial activity, inhibiting the enzyme enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase, (essential for the biosynthesis of fatty acids) in S. pneumoniae.[18]

I have been wanting for some time to try the Ovaltine so I decided this was as good a time as any. The ingredients that go into the Classic Ovaltine Malt can be seen at Reply 20 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,8796.msg76560.html#msg76560, where another member, ThePizzaBiatch, discussed the results he achieved using the Classic Ovaltine Malt.
With a Room-Temp fermented dough, is it necessary to punch the dough down at any time?I know at one point, Pete punched down his dough but it sounds like some here do not.

What's new in New Haven? Forest City knows
Blog Entry:
February 11, 2013 12:57 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Forest City Enterprises Inc.
is helping fuel a comeback in the long-struggling city of New Haven, Conn.
The Wall Street Journal
that a venture between Forest City and Concord, Mass.-based developer Winstanley Enterprises "is about to break ground on a $50 million project to convert the old Winchester gun factory into a rental apartment building." The 158-unit building is scheduled to open in the summer of 2014, says Abe Naparstek, vice president of Forest City Residential Group.
The project "follows a flurry of other developments in recent years that have breathed new life into a city that for decades was in decline despite being home to one of the world's top universities," Yale. The newspaper says successes include a new Apple store in New Haven's downtown district and a 500-unit rental tower built on a former department store site that is more than 95% leased since opening in 2010.
It has been a tough road back for New Haven, and
The Journal
notes that the Winchester gun factory project "also stalled after Forest City took control of the site in 2008 because of lack of financing." However, it was revived last summer after the state of Connecticut awarded the developers a $4 million grant for "affordable housing."
Forest City now is in talks with the city of New Haven for additional financial support, "because the brick building has been vacant for decades and asbestos and rehabilitation work will be required,"
The Journal
"It's millions of dollars of extraordinary costs," Mr. Naparstek tells the newspaper. "The only reason why it's possible is that the state of Connecticut and the city of New Haven are able to help support it to make it happen."
Forest City now has two Connecticut projects under way; the other is in Stratford. Units at the New Haven property "will include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, will monthly rent of around $1,800 for a one-bedroom apartment,"
The Journal
reports. The developers have the option to build an additional 200 units in the next phase.
This and that
The big cheeses:
Forbes.com periodically runs get-to-know them profiles of billionaires, and the
latest installment
is about the Epprecht family, which runs
Great Lakes Cheese
in Hiram.
Patriarch Hans Epprecht immigrated to Cleveland from Switzerland in 1948. After serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, he began work at Brewster Cheese in Ohio. In 1958, he left to start his own company. He borrowed $5,000 on a life insurance policy and began delivering cheese to local stores and bodegas on Cleveland's East Side.
"Throughout the decades, with the help of his children, John and Kurt Epprecht and Heidi Eller, he transformed what was an Ohio-based enterprise into a national player, supplying cheese to retailers and the food service industry," Forbes.com notes. (It has plants in Ohio, New York, Wisconsin and Utah; McDonald's is a big customer.)
Great Lakes Cheese now boasts annual revenues of $2.3 billion, Ms. Eller confirms to Forbes.com. Employees, of which there are about 2,200, own about 20% of the company; the rest is owned by the Epprecht family. Forbes.com estimates the company is worth roughly $2.6 billion, meaning the Epprecht family "lays claim to a cheese fortune worth just over $2 billion."
"The Epprechts are extremely private," according to the website. "Eller took over for Hans as chairman of the company two years ago. John and Kurt Epprecht serve as vice presidents, Eller said. Hans, now 82, no longer has ownership of the company, Eller said. She provided no further comment on the company's ownership — leaving to question how exactly the fortune is divided between Hans' children."
Spanning the globe:
Paul Sracic
, professor and chairman of the Department of Political Science and Rigelhaupt Pre-Law Center at
Youngstown State University
, argues in a
Bloomberg opinion piece
that President Barack Obama could "give a positive jolt to U.S. and international markets" with a simple declaration: "Obama could announce that he fully supports Japan joining the
Trans-Pacific Partnership
The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a multinational free-trade agreement started by Brunei, Chile, Singapore and New Zealand a decade ago, now covers 11 economies that together conduct more than $1 trillion of trade each year, Prof. Sracic notes. The Obama administration notified Congress in late 2009 that it would join the talks.
Japan, the third-largest economy in the world and the only Asian nation whose economy rivals China, hasn't yet formally asked or been invited to join the TPP, Prof. Sracic writes.
If the president, during his State of the Union address, were to invite Japan to become part of the TPP negotiations, some significant global trade issues would "have a clear forum in which to be discussed," he concludes.

Ino Yamanaka (山中いの, Yamanaka Ino) is one of the main supporting characters of the series. She is a chūnin-level kunoichi of Konohagakure's Yamanaka clan and a member of Team Asuma. Along with her team-mates, Ino makes up the new generation of Ino–Shika–Chō, just like their fathers were before them.
From a young age, her father, Inoichi Yamanaka, raised her to embody the meaning to the violet flower, which symbolises a blunt, candid love. She was raised to treasure the bonds that she has with her friends, which led her to become good friends with Sakura Haruno.
In the Academy, Ino was considerably more popular and self-confident than Sakura when they met. She convinced Sakura that hiding the size of her forehead was pointless, saying that it only made her look worse. Ino gave Sakura a red ribbon to draw attention elsewhere, suggesting that Sakura had great potential, but had yet to reach it. This lead to ongoing arguments about Sakura's "Billboard Brow" and Ino's nickname "Ino-pig" (due to her name, Ino, meaning 'boar'). Despite all these arguments, she helped Sakura gain her confidence. When Sakura became attracted to Sasuke, and found out that Ino was attracted to him as well, Sakura ended their friendship hurting Ino in the process so she could compete with Ino for his affection.[7] Ino later made friends with Sakura again during the Chūnin Exams, but they are still considered rivals by many.
Ino is constantly thinking about boys and takes a great deal of pride in her appearance, which was seen even during her younger days in kunoichi training. She also takes great effort to keep up as well as improve her appearance, as seen from her constant dieting to lose weight in the belief it will make her more attractive. Ino can also be very confident, kind, and outspoken, not afraid to speak her mind, and sometimes suggests that Chōji should lose weight. She is attracted to Sasuke and she cried when Sasuke was declared an international criminal, showing that she still cares for him despite his descent into darkness. It is later confirmed that she loves him during the Fourth Shinobi World War, where she pictures Sasuke as the "love" that the violet flower symbolises. She also seems to be attracted to Sai because he looks just like Sasuke. Ino is described as relatively cheerful and can be bossy to people, especially to her team-mates if they get in her way or their behaviour annoys her.
Ino tends to take charge of her team-mates due to their lazy and nonchalant natures. She however clearly cares for them, as shown by her relief when Chōji survived near fatal injuries. Shikamaru, despite thinking of most girls as "troublesome", typically offers no resistance, being unwilling to deal with how she reacts if she is unable to have her way. Asuma recognised the control she has over the others, and, while dying, told her to look after Chōji and Shikamaru, and ensure that they didn't get into trouble.[8]
By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ino has demonstrated more bravery and confidence so much so that Ino was unfazed when told by Shikamaru how powerful the Gold and Silver Brothers were and even told her team-mates to man-up when they began to waver. Keeping to the promise she made to Asuma, Ino has resolved to put her life on the line, to protect her team-mates and her village no matter what. By the time Inoichi died in the Fourth Shinobi World War, he believed that she had truly blossomed into the violet of the Yamanaka family, and is proud of her bonds with her friends.
Ino is a fair-skinned girl of average height with green eyes (blue in the anime). Her most noticeable trait in her appearance is her long, blonde hair, which is always seen in a high-ponytail with bangs covering the right side of her face. In Part I, her hair reached down to her waist until she cut it during her fight with Sakura, and after, she wore a bun. In later Part I appearances, Ino's hair had grown to shoulder-length. By Part II, it grows to hip-length and Ino also sports a red clip in the left side of her hair.
In terms of attire, Ino is more often seen wearing a pair of small silver hoop-earrings and purple, fairly revealing clothing. During Part I, she wore a short purple vest like blouse with a raised collar, a skirt that was cut off on the sides and bandage on her stomach and legs. She also wore purple and white elbow warmers with this, and her forehead protector around her waist as a belt. During the anime filler, she stopped wearing the elbow warmers. At the Chūnin Exams finals, Ino sported an orange t-shirt that had the stylised kanji for the word "boar" (猪, inoshishi) inside a light green circle on the upper-left side of the chest, brown shorts, and cream-coloured elbow guards.
In Part II, Ino has gone through noticeable changes. Her formerly protruding bang has now flattened against her face and the bandages around her waist have been removed, revealing her bare stomach. She also replaces the warmers on her elbows with fishnet ones and wears a pair of the same over her knees. Along with these, she wears a short, purple, sleeveless blouse, an open-front purple apron-skirt over a shorter, black skirt, with short, fishnet shorts underneath. She has stopped wearing her forehead protector. While on missions she carries a tantō just above her medical pouch. She has also changed her hoop earring to the studs given to her by her former sensei after they passed the Chūnin Exams as a long-standing tradition.
The purple coloring of her outfit seems to be a reference to the embodiment of the violet flower that Inoichi wanted her to be.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, she dons the standard uniform of the Alliance and a Konohagakure flak jacket.
In Part I, Ino was noted to be an exceptional kunoichi by Asuma.[9] During her fight with Sakura in the Chūnin Exams, she was able to turn the battle in her favour through the simple act of cutting her hair, overcoming her technique's inherit weakness and mimicking the Shadow Imitation Technique at once. For this reason, Sakura notes that Ino probably would have beaten her had Naruto not interfered.[10]
Ino has also displayed sensor-like abilities in the past.[11][12][13] Seeing as how all known members of her clan are sensors, it is likely she is one as well.
Yamanaka Clan Techniques
Ino excels in the techniques of her clan, which are primarily focused around mind-affecting techniques such as the Mind Body Switch Technique, a technique predominantly used for reconnaissance and espionage, that allows the user to briefly possess someone and control that person's actions. Her body however, is left vulnerable until she cancels the technique. Despite many people thinking that this technique is unbeatable, she can still be forced out of the body if her opponent is physically very strong or has a strong enough will. She has also been shown to be able to use the technique on animals, such as a hawk to act as a spy.[14] The anime takes her skills a bit further by giving her the Mind Body Disturbance Technique, which causes the body of the person affected to attack those nearest to them, or immobilising their body.[15][16]
By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, her timing with the Mind Body Switch Technique has improved to a point that she only needs a target to be briefly immobilised in order to invade their mind.[17] According to Inoichi, her use and releasing of the technique has improved drastically. She was able to quickly transfer her mind into a paralysed Chōji to block a point-blank range attack from Asuma Sarutobi, and then fight skilfully inside Chōji's body,[18] as well as momentarily take control of Obito Uchiha in order to send the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball attack off course, and save her comrades' lives.[19] Ino has even learned to use the Mind Clone Switch Technique on two targets at once and still fight skilfully with them against her opponent.[20]
Medical Ninjutsu
Ino learned medical ninjutsu during the gap in time between Parts I and II. The anime shows that Ino trained in medical ninjutsu alongside Sakura under Tsunade's supervision.[21] Ino has proven to be skilled enough to be able to tell the severity of an attack with just a glance.[22] With the knowledge of plants and flowers she gained in her family's flower shop, she also has the capability to create herbal medicines. She has also gained better chakra control because of her study in medical techniques.
She has also shown somewhat considerable skills in taijutsu. During the Chūnin Exams, these skills were on par with Sakura's causing their battle to drag on.[23] During the Fourth Shinobi World War, her taijutsu skills had improved greatly, to such an extent that when she took over Chōji's body she was able to hold her own against her sensei when they clashed. She could even control the mind of two separate targets and still coordinate the two targets skilfully enough to force Asuma on the defensive.
Ino has shown to possess a great level of intelligence and perception, graduating the top of her class while in the Academy alongside Sasuke Uchiha and Shino Aburame. This was displayed in the Chūnin Exams and cleverly used her hair to make a chakra rope to bind Sakura. In fact in the anime, she was able to tell a person's occupation by glancing at the condition of their hands, a skill proven useful when Ino went to identify Gennō's body and noticed immediately that the corpse wasn't a carpenter or a ninja.[24] Also, during Pain's invasion, she was able to conclude that Pain's real body must be around the village for his technique to work, since it was similar to her clan's.[25]

Part I
Chūnin Exam Arc
Though making a few brief appearances earlier in the series, Ino made her debut during the Chūnin Exams. She used her Mind Body Switch Technique to enter Sakura's mind and memorise all her test answers, then sent her mind into Chōji and Shikamaru's minds to give them the answers. In the Forest of Death, Ino had many flashbacks of her childhood when they saw Sakura was in danger, she and her team helped Sakura and Rock Lee fight off the Otogakure Genin, until Sasuke forced the Oto Genin to retreat.
Ino's first match in the Chūnin Exams was against Sakura. The two did not battle seriously at first since Ino still cared about Sakura, until Sakura, unwilling to have Ino pity her, denounced her even though she didn't want to hurt Sakura. Ino and Sakura battled seriously afterwards, and used up most of their energy in the process. Ino then attempted to enter Sakura's mind after cutting her hair and sending chakra into it to immobilise her. She succeeded, but was expelled by Inner Sakura. Low on chakra, Ino and Sakura charged at each other for one last attack, and knocked each other out, resulting in both of them being eliminated. When they regained consciousness, they started becoming friends again, but still maintained their rivalry over Sasuke.
Ino accompanied Sakura to visit Sasuke in the month between the preliminaries and the finals, but found that he was gone. She went to the finals with Sakura, and noted that Sakura's team was extraordinary, after seeing Naruto defeat Neji. When the invasion started, she was rendered unconscious by Kabuto's genjutsu.
Invasion of Konoha Arc
Ino can be seen at the Third Hokage's funeral alongside the other villagers, mourning his death.
Pre-Shippūden Filler Arcs
She later appeared in a mission with Naruto, in which she tried to replace Princess Fuku who had grown overweight in an attempt to woo her suitor Chikara, the daimyō of The Land of Noodles. Ino was barely able to stand the man, but the mission succeeded after Naruto accidentally exposed the real princess. Ino briefly revealed an "Inner Ino" (内なるいの, Uchi Naru Ino) due to her anger, similar to Sakura's "Inner Sakura", during this episode.
In episode 158, Academy students were divided into teams of three and were assigned to a genin who would lead them on a mission against the other teams. Ino was assigned to lead a team of three academy students: Sou, Kiri and Shimo. Her time with them was not covered much except that she was doing better than Naruto.
When Mizuki escaped from jail, Ino along with her team-mates saved Naruto from the Legendary Stupid Brothers and took over the battle so Naruto could aid Iruka. Soon they realised they couldn't defeat them, but they were able to resist until Tsunade showed up and defeated them both easily.
She later accompanied Naruto, Shino and Anko to the Land of the Sea, and helped defeat Misumi Tsurugi, by possessing him and tying his arms to pillars, leaving him trapped in a collapsing room. Ino then used Mind Body Disturbance Technique on Yoroi as he attempted to attack Shino, allowing Shino to punch Yoroi away. When Yoroi attempted to attack Ino, Shino sent his bugs after him, thus defeating him.
Ino and Sakura were sent to examine a corpse that was believed to be that of Gennō. Ino hesitated, but eventually entered the room, and concluded, from the condition of the hands, that the corpse was not a ninja or a carpenter, and that Gennō was still alive. After the group found Gennō, she attempted to possess him when he tried to make his escape on a summoned bird; while he let go of the bird, Ino was unable to maintain the technique, as she noted that he had been suffering terrible pain the entire time.
When Suna asked Konoha for aid, Ino accompanied Shikamaru to help rescue Temari. Her attempt at possessing their opponent, Kujaku, failed, leaving her at risk. Kujaku later was defeated by Shikamaru and Temari's combined efforts. Feeling guilty that she did not contribute much to the mission, she asked Sakura to ask Tsunade to add her as a second apprentice. Sakura agreed, but added that she would be Ino's senior apprentice, resulting in Ino refusing (which led to yet another fight).
Part II
Sasuke and Sai Arc
Ino made her first reappearance shortly after Team Kakashi and Team Guy returned from the successful saving of Gaara, having come to retrieve Chōji for their mission with Asuma. She appeared again after Naruto and his team returned from their failed attempt to retrieve Sasuke. Upon meeting Sai, she quickly became interested in him, also noting that he resembled Sasuke.
When they all went out to dinner, Ino attempted to get Sai's attention with some subtle flirting. When Sai tried to befriend Ino and Chōji, having earlier come to the conclusion that women (specifically Sakura), didn't like to hear how they really looked, Sai tried the opposite approach by calling Ino "gorgeous", of which is the opposite of what he wanted to say. This resulted in Ino blushing, and enraging Sakura, who Sai had previously called "ugly".
Twelve Guardian Ninja Arc
Main article: Twelve Guardian Ninja Arc
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
When Tsunade decided to make a move against Akatsuki, Ino was assigned, along with Chōji, to a Nijū Shōtai team, led by Raidō Namiashi and Aoba Yamashiro. Ino and Chōji arrived as back-up for Shikamaru and Asuma in their fight with Akatsuki members Hidan and Kakuzu. When the duo retreated, Ino tried to tend to Asuma's injuries, but the damage to his body was beyond repair. The team then had nothing to do but listen to Asuma's last words. Before dying, Asuma said that Ino is strong-willed and a reliable child, so she should take care of Chōji and Shikamaru. Asuma also told Ino not to lose to Sakura in ninjutsu or romance. Ino then reminisces about her memories with Asuma especially her first days with him as a student, and when she noticed that the bouquet of flowers that Asuma bought were for Kurenai. After the death of her sensei, Ino screamed out loud with grief. She was later seen at Asuma's funeral, mourning his loss.
Shikamaru, Ino, and Chōji all agreed to avenge Asuma. Under the guidance of Kakashi, Team 10 later set out to face Kakuzu and Hidan. By using her Mind Body Switch Technique on a hawk, Ino was able to quickly find the Akatsuki duo so Shikamaru's plan could begin but doing this nearly backfired after Kakuzu attacked the hawk forcing her to return. During Team 10's fight with Hidan and Kakuzu, Ino largely played the role of an observer, her Mind Body Switch Technique being too much of a risk to use in battle stated by Shikamaru. In the anime, she saved Chōji from a fatal blow by Kakuzu before getting captured by him and almost choked to death along with Chōji, but was saved by Kakashi and Shikamaru. After Naruto arrived and defeated Kakuzu, she healed him.
Three-Tails Arc
Main article: Three-Tails Arc
Invasion of Pain Arc
When Pain began his invasion, Ino rushed to her father's location to inform him and all those present of the attack. Having learned something about Pain's identity, they tried to escape, to avoid capture. Despite their attempt, Pain arrived and captured Shizune, finding out what she knew, before killing her. She had mourned for a while. After he destroyed the village, Ino tried to revive Shizune, but could do nothing to help her, and regrouped with her father and the others. After the death of Nagato, she was shocked to see that Shizune was brought back to life. She was then present at Naruto's return, and celebrated with the villagers for his victory. In the anime, she even says that she could almost fall for Naruto, surprising Chōji and Shikamaru.
Konoha History Arc
Main article: Konoha History Arc
Five Kage Summit Arc
When news of Sasuke's affiliation with Akatsuki reaches Konoha, the Konoha 11 gather to discuss what should be done with him. The others suggest that they should personally eliminate Sasuke to prevent him from implicating Konoha in a war with another village. Ino is upset by this and she starts crying. Kiba demanded she stop, but she was defended by Tenten. Ino was later seen with the rest of the Konoha 11, hearing Naruto's decision about Sasuke when he returns to the village. He later promises to tell them everything when the time was right.
Chikara Arc

Adventures at Sea Arc

Road to Sakura
Main article: Road to Sakura
While on a stroll during her day off, Ino pondered how to spend the day before finding Sakura falling from the sky after a flash of bright light. Helping her out of a tree and taking her to Tsunade for medical attention, Ino is shocked to find Sakura with amnesia as she tries to keep Tsunade and Shizune from killing Sakura for pointing out their bust sizes. In her attempt to help jog Sakura's memory, she and the rest of the Konoha 11 present themselves in the way she remembers them: By acting the complete opposite of themselves. After the attempt failed, Ino helps Sakura look for her necklace until they encounter Sakura's parents as they have found the item in question. After Sakura strangely cries as she embraces her parents before they leave, Ino learns that the Sakura she has been with all day came from an alternate reality. When the other Sakura fades away, Ino is left severely confused as she wondered where the Sakura she knows is.
Shinobi World War Arc
When the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, Ino is placed in the Fifth Division. Ino and other members of her division are later sent to provide support for the First Division. Ino meets up with Shikamaru and Chōji - sent as backup from their own division - and they team up to help Darui fight Kinkaku. Shikamaru restrains Kinkaku with his shadow. Kinkaku almost breaks free but Ino is able to use the Mind Body Switch Technique to transfer her consciousness into his body, saving Shikamaru. In order to capture Kinkaku with the Kohaku no Jōhei, Darui says Kinkaku's name and Ino forces him to respond. As Kinkaku is sucked into the Kohaku no Jōhei, Ino returns to her body. Her watching father compliments her on this improved timing.
The trio next prepares to engage the reincarnated Kakuzu. Shikaku instructs them to leave Kakuzu to others and instead focus on Asuma, who had also been reincarnated. Chōji is reluctant to fight their late teacher, so Ino reminds him of Asuma's final words to all of them. They confront Asuma and he comments on how much they have grown before they start fighting. Despite Ino's attempts to encourage him, Chōji still has difficulty fighting Asuma. As Asuma is about to attack Chōji, Ino pushes him out of the way. She then uses the Mind Body Switch Technique on Chōji and spars with Asuma, all the while reminding Chōji of their duty. Chōji eventually pulls himself together and Ino returns to her body. As Chōji goes on the offensive, Ino uses her Mind Clone Switch Technique on two White Zetsu to use against Asuma. Asuma is defeated, and before being sealed he congratulates them on their perfect teamwork.
The battle continues into the night and Ino assists Chōji in defeating the rest of the reincarnated ninja. When the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path attacks she takes cover with her team. After that attack subsides, Ino is seen planning with the rest of her team and Tenten. The next morning, Ino and the rest of the shinobi present are seen standing in circles. This was a countermeasure against the White Zetsu Army clones that had invaded their ranks until Naruto could come and differentiate them. Ino asks Shikamaru if they couldn't simply ask each other personal questions but he says no as there was a possibility that the enemy could guess the answers. She then calls out and waves at Naruto when he arrives.
After being informed by her father at HQ that Naruto and B were fighting the "masked Madara", Ino and the rest of the Konoha 11 rush to his aid. As she runs, she thanks her father for relaying Naruto's feelings to everyone and promises that she'd make his foretelling of their victory a reality. Arriving just in the nick of time, Ino with Hinata's guidance was able to take control of Obito in time to veer the Ten-Tails' would-be fatal attack off course. Though she laments that he was able to break a perfect Mind Body Switch Technique in only a matter of seconds, Hiashi Hyūga told her she did a great job, having managed to shift the attack. She stood alongside the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces to face their opposition. With their attempt to immobilise the Ten-Tails ended in failure, Ino listened on, crying, as Shikaku imparted what would be his final battle strategy via her father as a Tailed Beast Ball was sent hurtling towards HQ. Ino listened to her father's last words to her, which stated that she had truly blossomed and her bonds with her friends reflect the meaning of the violet flower which she was raised to embody. After, Shikamaru reminded her that they were still in the midst of battle, and that they didn't have time to grieve. She later learns of Neji's death.
After Kurama had gathered enough chakra, Naruto sent shadow clones to Ino and the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces to distribute Kurama's chakra. The veil of Kurama's chakra covers Ino, and after the Akimichi clan stops the Ten-Tails' movements, she quickly uses her Mind Body Switch Technique on Obito to alter the course of an attack against Chōji. After Shikamaru and the Nara clan capture the Ten-Tails with the Shadow Imitation Technique, Ino releases her technique.
Naruto: Shippūden the Movie
Ino made a small cameo before Team 7 was being called up, she, Shikamaru, and Chōji were seen running through the streets.
Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire
Ino was first seen when they celebrated for Naruto and Sai's recovery and ate barbecue. Ino was seen again when Hiruko appeared on the sky and said he was starting the Fourth Shinobi World War. Later, Ino was sent with the rest of Konoha 11 to retrieve back Naruto and Sakura. Ino's team caught up with Naruto and Sakura, but Sai came and took the two with him to catch up with Kakashi. They were left behind to take down Hiruko's henchmen, San. They used Ino–Shika–Chō combination and easily took down the enemy. Shikamaru had Ino tell San that they aren't here to fight but to bring back Naruto and the others, after Ino used Mind Body Switch Technique and told San, he refused and said that he understands but he can't just pass the information on, forcing Team 10 to fight him. He then summoned his two team-mates, Ichi and Ni, and used Chimera Technique, which made them turn into a beast, Team 10 was defeated quickly. The rest of Konoha 11 comes to back up Team 10 and while Tenten summoned out chains everyone grabs onto one and as Shikamaru was about to use a technique to bind the beast Ino urges Shikamaru to go on and that the rest of them can handle it. Ino is later seen at Hiruko's temple saving Sakura from a collapsing building while the other members of the Konoha 11 defeated the beast.
Naruto 5: Blood Prison
Ino appears along with the other members of the Konoha 11 to help save Naruto from prison and help defeat Satori.
Naruto 6: Road to Ninja
The alternate world's Ino, compared to the Ino that Naruto and Sakura know, is more timid, calm and modest with herself and shy with boys. She also isn't bossy with her team, trying to end things peacefully with them rather than lashing out at them like she usually does.
Video Games
Ino Yamanaka is a playable character in the following video games:
Ino's moves typically include the use of genjutsu, flower-based attacks, and acrobatic physical attacks similar to the Musoh-Battoh-Ryu style of fighting.
- Ino is short for inoshishi (猪), meaning "boar", hence Sakura calling her Ino-pig-chan (いのブタちゃん, Ino-buta-chan). Yamanaka (山中) means "among the mountains". Wild boar are heavily associated with mountains in Japan, and are even called the whales of the mountains (山鯨, yamakujira), because of the amount of meat they produce.
- Her family owns a flower shop called Yamanaka Flowers, where she works part-time.
- Ino was ranked as the 29th most popular character in the seventh Naruto character popularity poll. She placed 14th in the fifth poll, 17th in the sixth poll and 23rd in the fourth poll. She finished 30th in the first poll.
- According to the first Naruto fanbook, Ino had the best overall grades in the Academy. She had the highest grade in assertiveness and the second-highest grade in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, cooperation, and class attitude, being beat by Sasuke in ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu.
- In the seventh Naruto Shippūden opening, Ino was shown fighting Konan with Hinata and Sakura, though in the manga, they did not fight her.
- According to the databook(s):
- Ino's hobby is shopping.
- Ino wishes for a rematch with Sakura.
- Ino's favourite foods are cherry tomatoes and pudding, while her least favourite is sashimi.
- Ino has completed 40 official missions in total: 23 D-rank, 9 C-rank, 6 B-rank, 2 A-rank, 0 S-rank.
- Ino's favourite phrase is "The many meanings of flowers" (花言葉の数々, Hanakotoba no kazukazu).
- (To Sakura, when she asks her why she gave her a ribbon) "Because… I thought it would be a waste for you to wither away as a bud. There's no meaning to a flower unless it blooms. It might turn out to be… a flower more beautiful than a Cosmos."[26]
- (To Sakura) "Who're you calling "pig", you billboard brow?!"
- (To Sakura) "You've bloomed into a beautiful flower."[27]
- (To Chōji about Asuma) "Listen, I know how you feel… the three of us, Team Ten… We went on a lot of missions with Asuma-sensei. Shikamaru and I don't want to fight him either. But it's because we know him so well that we can stop him with the least risk to the army. Don't you remember what those earrings are supposed to represent Chōji?"[18]

Official: Automotive support manufacturers looking at Starkville
Oktibbeha County Economic Development Authority President Jon Maynard said at a meeting of that organization Monday that two manufacturers with ties to the automotive industry have started kicking the tires on possible sites in the Starkville area.
According to a story on the Starkville Daily News' website, Maynard declined to name the companies, citing confidentiality agreements. Starkville is almost exactly halfway between Canton and Blue Springs, and would make a good geographical match for a company that wanted to do business with Nissan and Toyota. Four-lane highways connect the three cities, so this will certainly be something to keep an eye on.
Maynard also updated the progress on a few other projects that have been simmering for a while in Starkville, including the mixed-use CottonMill Marketplace. The SDN has it covered here.

Are you really complaining that kernel developers have chosen safe over fast defaults?
I dunno, but I <3 my data and would rather prefer that I can access it even if some unlucky power-out happened on my laptop.
If you don't mind that, change the mount option.. that's what it's here for. But the defaults are sane, you can't expect a newbie user to manually alter that kind of thing.
