Activity note: The bus ride takes 15-20 minutes. If you choose to walk between Lerici and Tellaro on a paved road 2.5 miles long, it takes 1.5 hours with frequent stops to take in the views.

A portion of the Via dell'Amore footpath is now open as repairs continue on the section connecting to Riomaggiore.
Breakfast: Continental buffet at the hotel.
Morning: From the hotel, we board the motor coach to the steep hills above the Gulf of La Spezia. View the wide bay of La Spezia and the city from another point of view as you wind up the mountain to reach the summit. At the other end of a short tunnel you will experience magnificent views of the open sea and the terraced vineyards of the Cinque Terre. The coach stops for a leisurely vineyard walk in the Volastra hillside and then at a winery to enjoy a tasting of local wine and products. A local expert will show us around the grounds and explain to us the unique practices of the coop enterprise. Board the coach again for the short ride to Manarola, one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre, where we'll walk along the narrow streets with colorful houses down to the marina. Take in breathtaking views of the terraced vineyards and mountains plunging into the Mediterranean Sea while walking an easy stone paved path just out of town along the rugged coastline.
Lunch: On your own. There are a variety of focaccerie, cafés and trattorie to suit every palate and budget.
Afternoon: With the local expert explore the village of Manarola from a scenic path with vistas of the village perched on a mountain that plunges into the sea.

After visiting Corniglia, board another train for the 15 minute ride to La Spezia where we meet up with the coach and head back to the hotel in Lerici.

Drive from Carrara to Pisa is 45 miles of highway and takes about 40 minutes. The walk from the hotel to the Leaning Tower in Pisa is 1 mile along uneven but flat city sidewalks.
Breakfast: Continental buffet at the hotel.
Morning: Check out of the hotel before attending a presentation by a local expert in the hotel meeting room on Michelangelo and Carrara Marble. Gathering up our bags, we'll board a coach for transfer to Carrara at the foot of the Apuan Alps where we will visit a sculptors' workshop (work schedule of the artists permitting). Our local expert will then take us to the enduringly active marble quarries of Carrara where, centuries earlier, Michelangelo chose the pure white stone blocks for his statues. Here, we will learn and perhaps witness the fascinating techniques of modern stone excavation. Coach back down to the center of Carrara where the local expert leads an informal walk illustrating how the history of the territory is tied to the hard life of the quarrymen.

A new study predicts a saving of nearly $400,000 in health care costs associated with heart attacks, lung cancer, stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) over ten years, if 1000 Australians quit smoking.
The study, authored by Professor Susan Hurley and Dr Jane Matthews, also describes the many health benefits of quitting.
For example, if a 50-54 year old male smoker quits, his probability of being diagnosed with lung cancer, COPD, stroke or heart attack in the next 10 years is reduced by 40%.
Quitting smoking also reduces his probability of dying by 35% over the next ten years.
The VicHealth Centre for Tobacco Control at The Cancer Council Victoria commissioned the study, published in the international journal, Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation.
Professor Hurley said the figures further highlighted the economic benefits of reducing smoking rates in Australia.
"Overall for every 1000 people who quit smoking, there is an average saving of $373,000 in health care costs associated with the four major smoking-caused diseases."
"This study emphasises that an increase in the number of smokers quitting their deadly habit will not only translate into a significant improvement in health outcomes, but also an impressive reduction in health care costs."
Executive Director of Quit Victoria, Mr Todd Harper, said the study underlines how important it is to continue the momentum of the last year, which saw huge number of Australians quitting smoking.
"Quitting not only improves an individual's chances of avoiding smoking-caused diseases, but can also translate into substantial benefits for the Australian health care system."
"The introduction of graphic health warnings on cigarettes, hard-hitting quit smoking campaigns and state-based tobacco reform has created the perfect environment for smokers to quit, with calls to the Quitline doubling in 2006."
"We hope this year, with a continuation of quit smoking mass media campaigns and the introduction of smokefree bars and clubs in a number of States, even more Australians will be encouraged to quit smoking."
Chief Executive Officer of VicHealth, Dr Rob Moodie, said investment in strategies that prevent people from taking up smoking, and encourage those who smoke to quit will reap tremendous rewards for the Australian system in the future.
"Funding for tobacco control and quit smoking mass media campaigns is the best value for money buy in healthcare, and should be regarded not as a cost but as an investment in protecting the long-term viability of the health care system."
"As this study illustrates, efforts to reduce the number of Australians smoking will amount to millions of healthcare dollars saved and more importantly many smoking-caused diseases prevented and lives saved," said Dr Moodie.

This is definitely recommended. My only problem with it is that it says it takes less time because you can use it with your hair still damp. I tried a few times, and although my hair came out feeling silkier, it took longer than it does with dry hair.Read More
Damp to Dry?
I would have given this a 5 star except the damp to dry part. This is my second CHI flat iron replacing one that finally died after nine years. I have thick, curl, wavy, longer hair and the first time I used this my hair was damp, not super wet, and I really was wondering about returning it, it took most of the wave/curl out but I was not as pleased as I was with my first CHI. The second time I used it my hair turned out just like it did with the first CHI. I do like the size, it is wider than my other one. The temperature setting I will have to work on to determine what is right for my hair. Would I buy it again, yes - and I did recommend it to a friend.Read More
Got this for my 16 year old sister for Christmas, she has THICK coarse hair and she LOVES this straightner, bc her hair is so thick it is hard for her to get it completely dry, so the fact you can use this on damp hair was PERFECTRead More
Great straightener!
I wanted a straightener that worked well on damp hair without burning it. This product does the job beautifully. I have shoulder length hair and now only blow it dry for about 3-5 minutes. I let the straightener do the rest. I saves so much time and I am exposing my hair to less heat by reducing the dry time by another 5 minutes or so. The larger heads (2 inches) work faster and more efficiently than my old 1 inch flatiron, again reducing the time spent on my hair. This straightener also has heat controls so one can choose according to hair thickness. I spent more money than I was comfortable with, but have received a product that produces far superior results than my previous "cheaper" model.Read More

Just Okay
I purchased this for my younger Niece since I didn't want to spend several hundred dollars on a more top of the line straightener since she's so young. It worked okay, but it nowhere near the expertise of straightening irons like GHD or T3. It takes 3-4 passes on each section to get straight and definitely DOES NOT dry your hair while you use it as advertised. If your hair becomes curly when wet this is not for you because it will leave your hair damp still even after towel drying before use.Read More
chi is name brand for flat iron. this is a nice oneRead More
doesn't do the job
CHI has made a very low performing flat iron. Not sure what went wrong but they should go back to the drawing board.Read More
CHI quality flat iron
This product does not get my hair straightened faster or better than the standard CHI flat iron. Difficult to use because it is too wide to get close to your scalp. If used when hair is damp, it takes forever to straighten each strand. It would be quicker to dry your hair completely and use the standard 1 inch CHI flat iron. Glad I didn't pay full price.Read More
Questions & Answers
i'm about to order this flat iron, so don't have it in hand to know for certain, but i've read reviews on other sites that say it does NOT have an auto-shut off function.
The only thing in the box is the CHI Air Expert Damp to Dry Ceramic 1.5-inch Flat Iron.

A POPULAR singer who 'oozed personality' has died, aged 76.
John Shorrock, who lived in Harwood Street all his life, was perhaps best known by his stage name during his time leading the Johnny Vincent Trio in the 1960s.
The father-of-four died last week, 15 months after being diagnosed with bladder cancer.
Mr Shorrock leaves behind his wife of 53 years June, children Diana, Lisa, Craig and Dane, nine grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. He had a tenth grandchild, Matthew Boardman, who died in 2012. He also had nine siblings, seven of whom are still alive.
Mrs Shorrock, 72, a retired childminder, said: "We always said we would have a big family as we both love children. John was a lovely father and the children all adored him."
Mrs Shorrock said her husband enjoyed socialising and had a lot of friends. She said: "He lit up a room and was always the centre of attention. He oozed personality, which is why he was such a wonderful performer.
"John would go off into town on a Saturday morning and I would give him a small list of stuff to get and he would be gone hours because he would bump into people."
Mrs Shorrock met her husband in the late 1950s when her father, John Reid, was teach-ing him to sing. She said: "I said to my dad, 'he is terrible', and he told me he would do okay, and he was right. Eventually we got together, and we used to sing together."
Mr Shorrock's musical talent was passed on to son Craig, who sings in popular local band Cherrybomb.
Ernest Law-Riding performed with Mr Shorrock in The Johnny Vincent Trio and was a lifelong friend. He said: "John was a good singer and, along with George Ainsworth, we formed the band. We became quite good and almost turned pro, but then we got families and had to turn to proper work. We parted company as a band in 1969 but we remained close friends. He was a very good man"
In recent years, the pair performed together at the annual World's Biggest Coffee Morning events at Blakey's, in Blackburn. Mr Shorrock was a fork lift truck instructor for 30 years at Crown Paints. He was a Rovers season ticket holder and used to run amateur football club New Gardeners.

I have this turquoise table that I bought for $5.00 at the local thrift store. I refinished it in a previous post, and it sits in my family room. I like it, but I kept thinking that it needed a little something. My brothers both have etched glass in the past, and I loved how their projects turned out, so I decided to try it.
Step 1: Find a pattern that you like. This pattern came from a tablecloth from Target. The pattern must be something that you can cut out. Sidenote…think how awesome this pattern would be using the stencil technique in THIS post. 🙂
Step 2: Once you have your pattern picked out, you need to get contact paper (NOT wax paper…I used wax paper and it didn't work very well) and lay contact paper on the top of the pattern.
Step 3: Trace the pattern onto the contact paper.
This is what it will look like after the tracing is complete.
Step 4: Lay it on your glass to make sure that it fits the glass.
Step 5: Turn the contact paper over and cover the pattern with painter's tape. I used the kind that prevents bleeding…I can't remember the brand I have but another brand that is similar is called Frog tape. It is worth it in my opinion to get the no bleeding kind of tape.
This is what it looks like on the other side.
Step 6: Carefully, cut out the pattern.
Step 7: This is the tricky part. If you are using contact paper (not wax paper) it will be much easier for you than it was for me to peel the paper off the stencil. The wax paper kept sticking and it was super hard to get it off. But, I've heard from friends that contact paper is much easier.
Step 8: Buy an etching cream. I found mine at Michaels (I heard Wal-Mart also has it) and brush a heavy coat of cream over the portion of glass you would like to etch. Follow the directions on your bottle. We removed the glass out of the end table to make it easier.
Step 9. Wait for about 5 minutes…and voila 🙂 a subtle addition of character for any glass!
I had to move the table into the light so you could see it better. 🙂
I love the end result! Think of the possibilities!!! What a cheap way to add character…and I have a ton of etching cream left. I have also heard that you can buy a spray etching solution, but I had already bought the cream, so I decided to use what I already had. 🙂
UPDATE: After receiving some comments about an easier way, I decided to do a little research. 🙂 There is a much easier way to make a stencil for etching using ONLY contact paper. You live and you learn right!?!? 🙂 Sometimes I do things the hard way! Ha ha. Check out a simple tutorial HERE.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- A 14-year-old Ohio girl who has accused a police officer of breaking her arm in a school altercation last fall has been charged with assaulting a teacher and a classmate more recently.
An Akron teacher allegedly was hit twice as the screaming girl chased a boy and threw a binder.
The girl was transferred from another school where she says her arm was broken by a police officer working security. No charges have been filed in that case.
Akron schools say they take discipline seriously.
Her attorney tells WEWS-TV in Cleveland (http://bit.ly/13jbFuk ) that it was known that the girl was troubled, but the alleged assault doesn't change the facts of last fall's incident.
The girl's mother filed a complaint Nov. 7 on the incident, which was captured on surveillance cameras.

TOM Richardson is back in training with the Bees but is unlikely to return to action until the New Year.
The ex-Weymouth man has been sidelined for several months with a virus and Bridport boss Trevor Senior is delighted to see him back on his feet.
He said: "Tom did the warm-up ahead of last Satur-day's game against Cadbury Heath and is now back training with us. It is great to see him back and we have pencilled in his return to action for January.
"Sam Charles is also making good progress and could be back in February but his brother Joe and Lee Cleal have only just had their operations so they still have a long slog ahead of them."
Another player sidelined at the moment is Chris Clarke.
Senior added: "Chris has a blood clot in his thigh and we are just hoping that it doesn't need cutting out.
"He is a big player for us and it is only when he is out that people really realise just how important he is."
The Bees travel to fellow Toolstation Western Premier Division outfit Brislington tomorrow in the first round of the Les Phillips Cup (3pm).
Commenting on the tie, Senior added: "Brislington are currently second in the league and are very strong.
"We went there in the cup three years ago and won 2-0 before going on to lose in the semi-finals on penalties.
"That was a great run that year and it would be nice to do something similar this season."
Ryan Dovell is struggling with a groin problem for the Bees, who also have doubts over Sam Buckler following a bout of flu.
Gary Bulman is definitely out with a calf strain while Russell Legg returns from suspension.
Bridport have gone six games on the road without a victory while Brislington have lost just two of their 15 league encounters so far this season.

Cooking Tips From Worst Cooks Coach Anne Burrellby Food Network Magazine in Food Network Magazine, February 10th, 2012
As the two-time host and champion cooking coach on Worst Cooks in America, Anne Burrell has seen her share of bad cooking. Not ordinary bad-dinner-party-at-the-neighbors' bad cooking, but unfathomably bad, practically gag-inducing cooking. "I've seen food so burned, so over-spiced that it's inedible," Anne says. "My favorite was a guy who boiled a whole chicken and dumped some tomato sauce on it and called it chicken parmigiana."
Anne is back for round three on February 12, when Worst Cooks in America returns, going head-to-head with co-host Bobby Flay in trying to whip the country's most disastrous home cooks into shape. We asked the former culinary school teacher and restaurant chef what bad cooks can do to step up their game.
Stop making excuses!
"I'm so over the 'I have a tiny kitchen' excuse. Restaurant kitchens are tiny, and there are a lot of freaking people who work in them, so that's not an excuse. Also, don't tell me French food is hard. It isn't; it's the French who make it more difficult than it needs to be."
Salt, then salt again.
"When I went to culinary school, I'd bring my vinaigrette to the teachers and they'd say, 'Needs more salt.' I was scared to death of salt, so I'd go back and put in three grains of salt and it would taste the same. But salt makes things taste like what they are. If you don't put in enough salt, you will never be a good cook."
Brown your food.
"Brown the crap out of your meat until there is crud in the pan. That's where the flavor is. People complain that I say 'crap' and 'crud,' but I say, 'You heard me and remembered it, right?'"
Double dip all you want.
"While cooking, I taste my food, and people say, 'Eww, you double dipped.' Come on. Like you don't lick a spatula and put it back in the bowl? You have to taste your food."
Get over yourself.
"I'm always shocked that some people know they are bad cooks but they would die before they would consult a recipe. If you didn't know how to do something, wouldn't you get directions?"
When in doubt, roast a chicken.
"When you are having people over, you want a dinner that's super easy. So make a roasted chicken (find Anne's recipe at foodnetwork.com/anneschicken). Roasted chicken is always a little bit fancy, but all you do is lube it up and pop it in the oven."

c.1412, from L. putridus, from putrere "to rot," from putris "rotten, crumbling," related to putere "to stink," from PIE base *pu- "to rot, stink" (see pus). First in ref. to putrid fever, an old name for typhus.
You can't help but snarl your upper lip a bit when you say a word like putrid.
What really struck me in the etymology was the PIE base *pu- "to rot, stink". As a parent, it immediately brought to mind the word many folks use to describe such deposits left by infants in their diapers...

Dear Smiley: Oh, what joy!
We awoke to the sighting of a 9-foot-tall pink flamingo on Carolyn Sue in Broadmoor.
Since relocating to Baton Rouge 7½ years ago, this is the first time this wonderful specimen has been spotted in our sleepy little neighborhood.
We wonder if it is related to the woodpecker that likes to peck away at the aluminum light pole from time to time in front of our home.
Baton Rouge
Dear Leon: No, the pink flamingos flock to City Park Lake annually in advance of Spanish Town Mardi Gras festivities. They are in no way related to your stupid woodpecker. …
Little Miss Locavore
Dear Smiley: My daughter asked me if I could pick up my 8-year-old granddaughter, Dani Honer, from school, as they were being dismissed early.
I picked her up, and explained that a friend of mine was in town for Christmas and she would be joining us for lunch.
She was fine with my friend joining us, but when I told her we were going to a eat Mexican food, she got a little bummed out and said, "Aime, I only like LOUISIANA FOOD!"
Feeling like Noah
Dear Smiley: Back (some would say "way back") while working at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans in the early '80s, I was scheduled to teach an early morning class at the facility.
It had been raining all night, but I made it to work through several inches of rain on the roads.
As it turned out, the rain was so bad the facility was closed for the day, but several others had made it to work early that morning.
The scene in the facility soon began to worsen; the utility trenches filled with water and the pressure from the roof drains was so great that it floated the manhole covers off the manholes.
I even have a picture of a crappie found swimming in the trenches inside the building.
To me, that was as close to the Great Flood as I want to get.
Huntsville, Ala.
Special delivery
Dear Smiley: Readers' recent comments about home delivery of milk brought to mind when I delivered for Santa Maria Dairy in 1950 and 1951. I delivered to several homes in the Denham Springs area.
When I started dating my future wife, Marlene, in 1960, I recognized her home as one to which I had delivered 10 years earlier.
Little did I know that I was delivering to a future wife and mother-in-law.
By the way, we celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary on Jan. 14.
Cream on the top
Dear Smiley: Another interesting memory about milk delivery is that we had a choice of "pasteurized only" or "pasteurized and homogenized."
For those too young to remember, "pasteurized only" had the cream floating at the top, and we had to shake the container to mix it up before pouring a glass of milk.
The main reason we chose "pasteurized only" was because we could spoon a little cream for our coffee in the morning.
I'm sure I continued to shake the container at least 10 years after it was no longer necessary.
Tongs for the memory
Dear Smiley: Stories about the milkman delivering milk and putting it in your icebox reminds me of another delivery man — the iceman.
Mother had a card she displayed on the front of our house which told the iceman how much ice she needed that day.
The card was about 12 inches square. Each corner had a small hole punched in it and the different amounts of ice: 25, 50, 75 or 100 pounds. She turned it so the amount she needed was at the top, and hung it on a nail by the front door.
The iceman would bring the block of ice in the back door and put it in the icebox (the door was never locked).
He used the ugliest pair of tongs you ever saw!
LaNELL HILBORN
Three Horaces
Dear Smiley: It might interest your readers to know that the Horace Wilkinson Bridge (the Interstate 10 bridge) is not named after one Horace Wilkinson, but three.
Father, son and grandson all served in the Louisiana Legislature for a total of 54 years, and were honored by the naming of the bridge in 1968.
This from someone who crosses the bridge nearly every day, and about a year or two ago wanted to know who Horace Wilkinson was!
New Roads
Too much information
Dear Smiley: Regarding the sports analysts who talk way too much describing what you are looking at:
They are similar to the television news person who spends an hour before the president speaks to tell us what he is going to say, then an hour after telling us what he said.
Write Smiley at email@example.com. He can also be reached by fax at (225) 388-0351 or mail at P.O. Box 588, Baton Rouge, LA 70821.

Google Drive FAQ for administrators
Below are common questions about managing Google Drive for a team of G Suite users.
Looking instead for a Google Drive feature overview?
OverviewIs Google Drive different than Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides?
Yes. Google Drive is a place to store and access all your files, while Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are types of web-based documents, as are Forms and Drawings. The suite of Google's web-based editors is referred to as Google Docs editors.
Similarly, Google My Maps are also web-based documents that you can create or share in Google Drive. Like Docs editors, My Maps can be used with or without Google Drive.
With Google Drive, your data is always backed up on the web, so no matter what happens to your devices, your files are safe. You get the same business-grade data protection and security advantages that you get with G Suite, as described in G Suite security and privacy.
Accessing Drive filesAre Google Drive files available offline?
Files in your local Google Drive folder that weren't created with Google Docs editors or Google My Maps, (such as PDFs, Word documents, and Excel spreadsheets), are always accessible when you're offline. To see your cloud-based Docs, Sheets, and Slides when you're offline, you can enable offline access to Google Docs editors for Chrome browser users. My Maps are not available offline.
You can also work offline when using apps for your Android device or iPhone or iPad.
Files not created with Google Docs editors or Google My Maps still exist on your computer, as usual. Future changes to the local files will no longer sync, because your computer won't be able to authenticate with Google Drive.
However, because Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files are just pointers to web resources, a valid user name and password is required to access them.
You can disable some components of the Google Drive service, but you can't disable Drive and keep the Google Docs editors. If you turn off the Google Drive service, this disables all components of the service, as well as Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Syncing filesHow does Google Drive sync files?
When you install the Drive sync client, it creates a folder on your computer named Google Drive. Anything you put in this folder is synchronized with Google Drive on the web, and also becomes available on all your Google Drive devices.
This is a bi-directional sync, so changes you make online are reflected on all your devices, and vice-versa.
With the latest version of the sync client, (Backup and Sync), you can also sync Photos and other folders on your computer, as well as USB devices and SD cards.
If you don't install the sync client, local files don't automatically sync to all your Drive devices. However, Google Drive on the web is still a place to access your online Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, online Google My Maps, plus any files you manually upload to Drive. You can also still access your Docs, Sheets, Slides, My Maps, and uploaded files via mobile apps.
As the administrator, you can disable the sync client across your organization. See step 3 of Deploy the Drive sync client to learn more.
The Drive sync client supports only HFS+ (on OS X) and NTFS (on Windows). There is currently no support for network volumes (e.g. SMB or NFS) or other file systems such as FAT32.
Synced Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are stored on your computer as files that are essentially pointers to the web documents, as are synced Google My Maps. These small "pointer files" have Google extensions (such as .gdoc, .gsheet, and .gslides), and do not count toward your storage quota. If you open these files on your computer, the Docs, Sheets, Slides, and My Maps open up in your default web browser, where you can edit them online as usual.
No. Your local files will remain in your Google Drive folder on your computer, and a synced copy is also stored online. The exceptions are files created by the Google Docs editors and Google My Maps, which are just pointers on your computer to the web resources, as described above.
By default, the Drive sync client doesn't throttle bandwidth, but you can change the amount of bandwidth that Drive can use to sync your files. You can also pause syncing at any given time if Drive is consuming too much of your Internet connection.
See Sync files and folders to learn how to limit bandwidth and pause syncing.
StorageWhat are the Google Drive storage and file size limits?
Drive storage is shared between Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. The amount of free storage for each user depends on the type of your account:
|G Suite Basic
G Suite Enterprise
|Unlimited storage
(1 TB if 4 or fewer users)
|Google Apps Free edition (legacy)
Individual consumer accounts
If needed, you can purchase additional storage.
Content created with Google Docs editors or My Maps doesn't count toward storage quotas. To learn more, see "Items that count toward storage" in See your storage limit.
The maximum individual file size that you can upload or sync in Google Drive is 5 TB. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides have different size limits.
Google Drive storage is for users and Google Cloud Storage is for developers.
Multiple revisions of a file are available online, but only the latest version is available on your computer. The online revisions are not counted toward your storage quota unless you've explicitly decided to keep older revisions.
Google Drive downloads the file in each location on your local machine, but only one version counts against your storage quota.
No, files that have been shared with you in Google Drive never count toward your storage limit, even if you move them to My Drive and sync them. (Files you sync do take up space on your hard drive.)
To learn more, see "Items that count toward storage" in See your storage limit.
You can sync all items in your Google Drive on the web or, if you don't have enough storage on your computer, you can choose to sync only a subset of folders. See Choose what syncs to your computer to learn more.
The user can still access any files already in Google Drive, but they'll receive a warning and won't be able to add additional files until they are under quota or have their quota increased.

Haku's Clan Name
On the Naruto-Arena game, it states that Haku's Clan is the Shiro Clan. Can anyone confirm this? --Dubtiger 16:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- As far as I can gather, it was made up by the Arena game. No other "official" place has his clan name, Shiro.--TheUltimate3 00:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- That was actually detailed on Wikipedia:Talk:Haku (Naruto). Here's some info there, we're actually missing some of it in the article:
- The name "Haku" (白) (which is written in jōyō kanji) means "white", but is also in advertence to his immaculate personality.
- Haku's family name is often thought to be Shiro (also meaning "white"). However, this is fanon, as this confusion is caused by the Malaysian Dub, in which Haku's name was changed to Shiro in Episode 15.
- Haku remains very popular despite his relatively early death, routinely appearing in favorite character lists (as well as some of Naruto's own flashbacks, particularly during the Chunin Exam arc). However, he has fallen out of the top ten favorite characters.
- Haku was apparently stronger than Zabuza, as Zabuza stated that over time, Haku's jutsu skills eventually surpassed that of his own.
- So Haku's family name is not Shiro. Basically Haku, Shiro, and White mean the same thing in three different languages. Basically the name comes from the Malaysian Dub, where they did some strange thing of giving him a full name by using the literal Japanese and literal Malaysian forms of his only name. "Haku Shiro", which when translated from both Japanese and Malaysian into English actually ends up as "White White". The Naruto-Arena game probably ended up taking the incorrect name from there or from mistaken fans. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Feb 17, 2008 @ 22:40 (UTC)
- That was actually detailed on Wikipedia:Talk:Haku (Naruto). Here's some info there, we're actually missing some of it in the article:
Shiro is Japanese, not Malaysian anyway, so it's just 2 languages. But anyway, are you sure Haku means white? I have been unable to find a translation that says this. As far as I can find, it means "to put on" and a few other things, but not white.
Haku's character is 白, which is normally read as "shiro". The character of his name means white... So yes, his name means white, it is another way to read the kanji of his name. Just like Spirited Away, the "Chi" in Chihiro is read as "Sen" by itself, which is why her name becomes "Sen" after her name is taken by Yubaba. (Also note that the japanese title of Spirited Away is "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi" literally meaning "Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting Away". 千 -> can be read "Sen" or "Chi"., means 1,000. Same "chi" from "Chidori", lit. 1,000 birds. 白 -> Can be read as "shiro" or "haku". There are also more readings... such as "Byaku" (only when combined with other kanji.) Such as with "Byakugan" 白眼, literally "white eye"
Maybe we can add the abilities, like every other good character... Shikamaru1994 22:13, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Shikamaru1994
Snapper2 I know your Experienced but please tell me why you keep deleting info of Haku's page.--Inferuno Ryuu 18:22, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

The part that talked about his appearance is rather vague, and I know most people know about Haku already, but what about the people who don't? I was thinking that maybe there should be a picture of him when he was wearing the pink thing (I can't remember what it was called) to show when he has a "slightly...more feminine appearance". Either that, or talk about the fact that he can wear pink and not feel embarrassed like the rest of the male kind. --Mjka (talk) 16:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Ice Spikes
in the flash back when Haku killed his father, they showed the house being impaled by large icicles... which i think it's like the ice style/release version of Earth Release: Rock Pillars Rising... can we make a page for that attack?? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 07:31, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
"Haku was born in a small, snowy village in the Land of Water"...not Kiri. And both his hitai-ate and mask were stolen... I think this need to be changed. --Blaublau94 (talk) 22:58, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
- The databook gives his affiliation as Kirigakure and Haku was associated with Zabuza, a missing-nin from Kiri and the leader of a tiny rebellious faction that wanted to take over the village. Haku was loyal to Zabuza, who in turn considered himself loyal to (his version of) Kirigakure. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 08:28, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
Haku is either a girl or a crossdresser

- Its the drawers fault since he doesn't seem to understand that Haku is a male.Shinobi Master (talk) 16:17, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Obviously the man who created the character doesn't understand he made him male... There is a very good explanation behind Haku's femininity. One that's firmly rooted in Japanese (popular) culture. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 16:28, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
"Yuki Clan"
I know Haku's clan now has a name, but... Does this mean that we should update his name as Haku Yuki, or do we follow Kimimaro and Tsunade's examples and wait until canonical confirmation as to whether they have last names or not?--– Mewshuji, Unofficial Nitpick of the Wiki 07:47, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Wait. Nagato did not become "Nagato Uzumaki" just because of what Madara said. ~SnapperTo 10:01, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Reguardless of what they go by, it is their last name. You cant have a different last name than your clan members in this world, So that being said yes tsunade's last name is Senju, and i really dont give a f*** of what the major contributors think. But shhhhhhhhhh that might tick them off since it hurts their ego that i prove them wrong.
- But to keep things simple and civil, its just worth a mention since it will cause an uproar based on their opinions. Biased people suck :( 220.127.116.11 (talk) 10:13, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Says the person whose ego is apparently dependent on them being correct...
- The Yuki bloodline is passed down to Haku through his mother. Haku would take his father's last name. Further, as the Yuki are infamous in the Land of Water and Haku's mother was trying to hide their identities, there is zero logic to them using "Yuki" as a surname. ~SnapperTo 10:27, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
- You are correct that using their surnames in time when everyone hates them is suicide, but for us, the readers, it doesnt matter. But you are right that Haku's mother could took the surname of her husband, and Haku took this surname as well. With Tsunade, even she is Hasrirama Senju's granddaughter, her mother would marry someone and took his surname, and so her surname isnt here said as Senju. But Kimimaro? Why he dont has his surname "Kaguya"? He was evidently a member of Kaguya clan, and as man he dont takes surname of his wife, which he didnt even had, when he was young kid when he joined Orochimaru. Why he didnt has it? VolteMetalic (talk) 21:56, April 29, 2011 (UTC)
- This isn't about Kimimaro. And databooks don't list his name as Kimimaro Kaguya. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:14, April 29, 2011 (UTC)
I have edited the images I uploaded to follow the image policy. I will now make add these images to this article. If someone reverts theses changes, I ask that you please explain the reason for doing so as I am still very new here. Thank You. —This unsigned comment was made by Hyuchiha (talk • contribs) .
- You put him with a mask in the infobox. He only used the mask to conceal his identity when fighting along Zabuza, we saw his face in the first chapter he appeared. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:02, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
- It was my understanding, thanks to SnapperTo, that :"Main images are ideally of characters when they are most recognizable". More of Haku was seen with his make on than off.
Oh yes, the manga, I see. However, I do not believe that Haku would be less recognizable with the mask on.(And Snapper2 I am aware that you were referring to the clothes, I was simply taking making a point).But would it be fair to assume that main images of characters are preferably of how they first appeared, as in the case of Madara Uchiha? And, if this is the case, this is the reason it would be better to have an image of Haku without the mask? Thank you again for taking the time to listen. —This unsigned comment was made by Hyuchiha (talk • contribs) .
- "How they first appeared" is only important when there's more than one "when they are most recognizable". Naruto, for example, is equally recognizable in his Part I and Part II outfits, so priority is given to his Part I outfit. Although Haku is first seen wearing a mask, an image of him without one on is much more common and useful. If he were like Kakashi or Madara where he wears a mask for 99% of his appearances, then an image of him masked would be preferred. ~SnapperTo 03:59, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
I was confused for a moment when I read your comment, SnapperTo ,until I reviewed the episodes and manga for myself and found that Haku was, contrary to the reason given for reverting the image, masked when he first appeared. Since Haku is equally recognizable with his mask on or off, am I correct in assuming an image with the mask off is 'more useful' as it actually depicts his face? —This unsigned comment was made by Hyuchiha (talk • contribs) .
Could Haku be possibly taken from the Japanese legend of the Yuki-onna because of his beautiful feminine appearance, dark hair, pale skin, control over ice, and being from the Yuki Clan? Just wondering if it could be an ineresting fact in trivia. --Yamanaka Ino (talk) 00:04, April 10, 2011 (UTC)
Another Ice Technique?
Is it possible that Haku has another, Ice technique he used in episode 18 of the anime, manga chapter 30 pg. 12-13? It seems like he uses a single handsign to move at fast enough speeds to catch up to Kakashi and Zabuza and then uses Crystal Ice Mirrors in order to destroy the summoning scroll and take the hit in time. It may simply be a variation of the Body Flicker Technique but the added one-handed hand sign makes it unique to Haku. Would this warrant its own article or a mention in the Body Flicker technique page? —This unsigned comment was made by Forgon the Forgotten (talk • contribs) .
People often use one-handed seals to activate the BFT, usually the Seal of Confrontation. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:51, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
Alright, I assumed the multiple seals was unique for Haku's techniques (excluding guren) —This unsigned comment was made by Forgon the Forgotten (talk • contribs) .
shouldn't one handed hand seals count as a unque trait since only haku has show to be able to use it so far? --Naruto generations (talk) 23:17, April 20, 2012 (UTC)--Naruto generations (talk) 23:17, April 20, 2012 (UTC)
Haku's Forehead Protector
I think that Zabuza stole Raiga's headband and ANBU mask to give to Haku. Wouldn't this explain why Raiga hates Zabuza?—This unsigned comment was made by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) .
- No. They wore entirely different masks. Things like forehead protectors and masks are too easily obtained anyway.--Cerez365™ 12:19, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
last words
I think there is no quote for hakus last words but in the anime rihgt before dieing he manged to say zabuzas nbame really slowly so should we add something in qoutes for last words saying something like za...bu...za or something like that? or is it to short?--Naruto generations (talk) 15:46, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
in the anime haku said zabuzasa name right before his death after being hit by the raikirir should it be added as his last words for the quote section?--Naruto generations (talk) 15:53, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
Saying a character's name is hardly relevant, even if it's the character's last words. Quotes must showcase the character's personality or beliefs, or something that is otherwise significant. Just saying a name does none of these. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:12, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
yeah but it says have something to do with hakus personalty as he was always trying to protect zabuza and help zabuza be his tool to help him with his dream in a way it is his personalty and belief his belief and dream was to let zabuzas dream happen. but thats just what i think. --Naruto generations (talk) 23:15, April 20, 2012 (UTC)--Naruto generations (talk) 23:15, April 20, 2012 (UTC)
gender vs sex + appearance
Haku in latest episode looked NOTABLY even more feminine than in his previous appearances. I can't swallow that Haku is a boy ... I know Japan is crazy and all, but this is different case. There's a big difference between sex and gender ... perhaps Haku was named, raised and treated like a boy, thus his gender being a boy. But biologically and psychologically wise he has feminine traits.
There goes my question ... was his status ever given in any of the databooks, or people take his word that he is a guy from manga ? He died as 15 years old ... even if his puberty was late, he should have distinctive masculine characteristics by that time.
Most girly looking guys at least have deeper voice, but Haku even sounds like a girl --Elveonora (talk) 15:29, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
- My opinion is that I think he looks more girl like. When was it confirmed of his gender or was that just made up ? --Speysider (Talk Page) 15:30, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
Oh, if a databook says it then it's settled I guess ... that was the question :) But even completely ignoring his feminine appearance and voice and lack of masculine traits ... why the pink suit and lipstick ? O_O --Elveonora (talk) 15:47, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
- 1) Dude could just like pink. I've met dudes who like pink. Nothing wrong with a man wearing pink.
- 2) The lipstick was an anime addition as far as I can gather. Why? Flip if I knew.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 15:49, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
I think this problem stems from out limited "western" view I think they call it o.O Without even going into the modern culture of Asian countries, in manga these types of characters shouldn't be this much of a problem for us. If I remember correctly, Kakashi was able to tell Haku was a boy right off the bat.--Cerez365™(talk) 15:54, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
- That's what I was thinking. Basically the reason Ameyuri Ringo's status is still stupid here.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 15:57, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
Deva, I don't think so. I've looked for every coloured scan of Haku, he doesn't have anything that looks like that in the manga as far as I've seen.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:00, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Nevermind, just saw some lipstick. I was looking at Part I scans, the lipstick thing seems to be a more recent addition.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:01, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
Well, if Haku was 12 or such ... it would be much more believable. But this guy is 15. this and this is no way a 15 years old boy ... it's a hot chick. Well, I will consider him a girl ... it makes things easier. (he has all the biological traits of feminine face) I could swallow the pink, but I'm yet to see a guy with lipstick that considers himself to be a guy. That's why I brought up the whole "sex vs gender" thing. His sex appears to be female but his gender is male as he considers himself so--Elveonora (talk) 16:05, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
- I personally think Haku is a gay O_o or he treats Zabuza his father figure'. I dunno why Kishi-sensei never do anything against the voice actress if she knows Haku is a guy. ~_~ —IndxcvNovelist (talk | contribs) 16:17, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Wow. You people are really closed-minded and this is just a manga '~' Using female or male voice actors is going to define someone's gender? And you can't tell me that cross-dressers or effeminate males and or masculine females is an odd concept to grasp for people living in the "21st century" o.O --Cerez365™(talk) 16:36, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
- I assume my lesson was lost /sadface. In media a lot of VAs, especially for children, are female regardless of character gender because women can apparently change their vocals to a much larger range than males can. (As a former member of the choir I can assure you, as a tenor I cannot get my pitch to go as high as a soprano or as low as a bass).
- And yes Cerez, the close-mindedness is making me sad.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 16:37, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
Haku is a boy. No ifs ands or buts. He said so myself, as did the databook. I'm quite certain Haku is able to look into his pants and confirm that. ;) Skitts (talk)

Who's got it backwards?
Anime = Moving, Animated version , Manga = Comic Book
Haku wears the lipstick in the manga version. He didn't get it in the anime version until Shippuden. Why is the trivia backwards, and why was it reverted when changed? —This unsigned comment was made by Kein87 (talk • contribs) .
This is what I recall from checking:
- He wears no lipstick in Part I in the manga nor the anime.
- He wears lipstick in Part II when he's reincarnated in the manga and in the flashbacks.
- The anime has him wearing a light shade of lipstick in the aforementioned situation(s).
Based on that I tried to reword the triva.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:45, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSSdkUPrA8TqUmbFwroAaBYhKlsYJ5OGkYBEiZaHBXroN4dbi8IcGIDCAtK His lips were always darker, I think it's meant to be he that he's really pale so his lips just look darker...like he's cold or something. But he's always had darker lips in the manga. The anime didn't have it in part 1.--Kein87 (talk) 21:37, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
- I read that chapter and that's not lipstick. Only one corner of his lip is darkened, which appears to be simple shadowing. Later on in that same chapter, in chapter 18 and when he was talking to Naruto in plain clothes, you can see that there's no lipstick on his lips.--Cerez365™(talk) 22:10, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
I didn't say it was lipstick, I don't think it's supposed to be lipstick in either mediums. He's just always had shaded lips that wasn't adapted into the Part 1 Anime. http://www.narutopod.com/manga/albums/Naruto-Chapter-29/naruto_29_01color.jpg. Here, a manga color image! His lips are a noticeable pinkish colour, which I believe the shading is meant to reflect. This might be make up, but I always interpreted it as his lips just being a noticeable darker colour than his skin. Though considering he wears nail polish and, in this picture, yellow eye make-up.

anyone else think it's worth mentioning that Haku's Body Flicker had a distinctive wind chakra element to it?

No, Gaara used a Sand Body Flicker for example--Elveonora (talk) 22:41, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
When Haku was revived with the reanimation Jutsu haku was wearing lipstick clearly showing that Haku wasn't a boy but rather a girl, it may not have been on the series when it first aired but during the Shippuden and when Naruto met Haku for the first time Haku was also wearing a "dress like outfit" prompting this confusion between the gender can we fix the wiki to show the correct gender. —This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
- Haku himself stated he is a boy in chapter 21. --The Goblin 10:12, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Haku Yuki?
Why isn't the name of this page Haku Yuki? Isn't that his last name? I'm just confused on the reasoning behind this. 400px 00:29, March 23, 2013 (UTC)
- While he is a descendant of the Yuki clan, we don't know if he used the clans name as surname. He has only been called Haku in the series and the databooks, so we just call him Haku. The same goes for example Tsunade and Torune. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 05:59, March 23, 2013 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. I was just wondering. Thank you for informing me. 23:01, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
I think we should add a reference in the trivia section how haku's and zabuza's story and relationship is like anko's and orochimaru's. What do you think? —This unsigned comment was made by Aron1003 (talk • contribs) . 06:24, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
- Should we also mention that Hashirama and Madara, Hiruzen and Danzō, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Sasuke and Naruto have all been living each other's lives on a loop? --Cerez365™(talk) 12:49, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
That would be good to put In the trivia --User:Jmootam1999Loves Naruto 12:53, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
