At work today I was handed a document with 虎の巻 “tora no maki” written on it. A literal translation is “tiger roll” or “scroll of the tiger.” I’ve seen this phrase before but never paid attention to what it meant so I looked it up. According to WWWDIC it means “crib notes” but after asking a few people I think a more appropriate definition would be “tips” as in tips for saving money or tips for meeting girls with your keitai etc. Could be a useful phrase to remember.
Unrelated: The weather bureau officially announced that the wind (and rain) we experienced yesterday was haru ichiban or the first spring breeze. It’s like the equivalent of Groundhog’s day in Japan which means that Spring will arrive soon. This winter has been one of the warmest in years.

Dude, where’s the link? I tried to signup but the link was bad.
Oops, sorry it’s fixed now.
We have had a warm winter until two weeks ago.
Now, we have 0-18F temps. and two snow storms. We have anywhere from 8″-16″ on snow. :(
Won’t see warm 32-40F temps. until nextweek. :(
