Koyuki Kazahana (風花小雪, Kazahana Koyuki) is a famous movie actress, primarily known for portraying Princess Gale (風雲姫, Fūun-hime). She is the only child of Sōsetsu Kazahana, the former daimyō of the Land of Snow. As an actress, she is known under the name Yukie Fujikaze (富士風雪絵, Fujikaze Yukie).
As a child, her father would tell her about "spring", a season that did not exist in the perpetual-wintered Land of Snow. She would happily await her father's project in bringing spring to the land, and was given a key for that "treasure". However, her paternal uncle Dotō Kazahana killed her father for his treasure, leaving Koyuki emotionally scarred for ten years. Ever since, she changed her name to Yukie Fujikaze and eventually became a famous actress with a cold and melancholic personality whose other emotions are merely "an act". She became increasingly popular within the Land of Fire.
At first, she appeared to be apathetic as seen when children asked for her autograph, but later on, she shows a kinder and warmer nature. Due to being emotionally scarred, she was cold and melancholic, with other emotions being merely "an act"; she eventually regained her true emotions of a kind and dutiful individual some time after she met Naruto.
Koyuki has long black hair with bangs that swept on each side of her face and violet-blue eyes. During her filming, she was shown to wear makeup such as pink eye shadow and red lipstick. She wore a green blouse over a pink jacket with brown gloves. As a child, her short hair was tied in two low ponytails. She wore a dress with an obi just below her chest and a headdress wrapped around her forehead.
Koyuki is a talented actress who's skills can easily deceive friend and foe alike. Aside from her profession, Koyuki has a number of other skills like horse-back riding and some skill with a short blade. She also had pepper spray concealed within her earrings.
Plot Overview
She returns to her home in the Land of Snow for a movie, only to encounter her uncle, Dotō again. She is targeted for her crystal necklace, the key to her father's treasure. While imprisoned, Naruto Uzumaki (who happens to be one of her biggest fans) tells her of his devastating past and how he overcame it. After escaping from prison with the help of Team 7, Koyuki gives Dotō her necklace saying that being imprisoned was only a false act to lure them on Dotō's trap. However, wherein truth, she attempts to stab Dotō. She is then kidnapped by Dotō, as he discovers the treasure is a generator to change the Land of Snow into the Land of Spring. Naruto ultimately defeats Dotō with his Rasengan, among the encouragement of Koyuki who remembers her father as she looks out to his achieved dream, the Land of Spring, and sheds tears of joy and truly smiles for the first time after ten years.
With her film complete, Koyuki explains that the heat generator isn't fully developed yet but with further research, the Land of Snow can become the Land of Spring. After proudly announcing that she will continue her acting career along with taking up the role of daimyō, she went off to sign several fan's autographs, something she originally scoffed at. She also has Sasuke Uchiha present an autograph to Naruto from her. In the autograph, Naruto finds a picture of him recovering in the hospital, being kissed tenderly by Koyuki.
- "Kazahana" means "snowflake" while "Koyuki" means "a light or powdered snow."
- "Fūun" can be written as "fūun" (風雲), which is translated as "clouds appearing before the wind starts to blow", as "winds and clouds; nature; the elements", or as "situation; state of affairs".
- Her character is very similar to Toki and Haruna. All three of them are daimyō, were in disguise, their fathers were assassinated, and endured a tragedy which made them act cold towards other people until meeting Naruto. All three seemed to grow fond of him as well.
- The letters in the bottom-right of the autograph, あきらめずに火影になってね (Akiramezu ni hokage ni natte ne), translate to "You'll become the Hokage not giving up".
- Near the end, it's implied that she'll play a part in the Icha Icha Paradise movie, as she's seen holding the book.
- (To Naruto) "Don't fool around! Reality is different from the movie. There is no such thing as a happy ending anywhere in this world!"
- "It would have been better if I had died that day… Even if I am still alive, my heart is already dead. Ever since that incident, my tears have dried up."
- (To Naruto) "There is no spring in this country. It's a place where your tears freeze and your heart will turn to stone!"
- (To her father) "Father, you liar, there is no such thing as spring here."
- (To Sandayū) "I cannot cry, because you have the eyedrops."

Running through the mud for fun and a good cause in Mystic
Over the past several years, "mud runs" and other obstacle course races have become increasingly popular across the country.
Now we're about to get our own race.
The Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern Connecticut will hold the "Gettin' Muddy For Kids" 5K and kids' run on Saturday, April 27.
It will be held along the trails at Fields of Fire, a 50-acre paintball facility on Noank-Ledyard Road in Mystic.
Cindy Morrison, the executive director of the Boys & Girls Club, said this week that as a runner she was looking for a way to raise money for the club but she wanted to do something different.
She had heard of mud runs and began talking to people who had competed in them. She said the Greenwich Boys and Girls Club held one last year and it was a big success. A mud run that is part of the national Down and Dirty series is planned for Hartford's Riverside Park on June 23. The Connecticut Warrior Dash is planned for Sept. 21 in Thompson.
So Morrison picked a date which did not conflict with other road races and began planning a course at Fields of Fire, which donated the use of its facility for the event.
Morrison said the event will be a "family friendly mud run," as it will not have the barbed wire, electrified fencing or fire that some of the hardcore Reebok Spartan races have.
But it will have mud pits, a swamp, logs, tires, cable spools, walls and a rope climb for a total of 15 obstacles along the trail course.
There will be a shorter course for children ages 6-12. There will also be a team competition.
Morrison said mud runs are the new thing, especially popular among the CrossFit and adventure running crowds.
"We hope it will be a really fun event and we're hoping we can make it an annual thing," she said.
Competitors will get a T-shirt and there will be wave starts. All proceeds go to the Boys' & Girls Club.
She said she is hoping for a few hundred runners and has already been receiving a lot of interest. She is also looking for volunteers.
The entry fee is $30 in advance and $35 on race day. The entry for four-person teams is $100.
You can sign up and get more information at www.bgcse.org
Sandy Hook Run relocated
So many people are signing up for the March 23 Sandy Hook Run for the Families that it has now been moved to downtown Hartford. The race had previously been planned for downtown Danbury after being moved from Western Connecticut State University. The field rapidly outgrew both venues and organizers did not want to shut anyone out.
The 5K race begins at 10 a.m. and all proceeds benefit the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. More information is at www.HartfordMarathon.com.
There is also a virtual division in which entrants get a T-shirt and number and can run in their own community at the same time. Stephen Bessette, the director of the Battle of Stonington race each August, is planning an event that morning that will allow virtual runners to run the Stonington Borough course together.
Joe Wojtas is The Day's running columnist.

Some Lancaster city eateries to grow produce on property
Six restaurants to take on urban gardening
Many experts agree, the best produce in the country is grown in Lancaster County. But now, some Lancaster City restaurants are getting into the farming business.
"Go out to the garden, pick something fresh, there's nothing better than that sometimes," said Pietro Vasile, head chef at the Lancaster Brewing Company.
"We're trying to go more local," said Brent Eshelman, general manager for the Lancaster Brewing Company.
And there's nothing more local than this: The Lancaster Brewing Company is one of six eateries growing produce on their own property, an idea started by City Health Officer Kim Wissler.
"We're hoping to encourage other city residents to take upon urban gardening as a substitute for the produce they would normally buy in a grocery store, and it's just a whole fresh attitude," said Wissler.
"It's just like, 'Go grab a cucumber, or tomato or mint for mojitos,' stuff like that. It's great," said Eshelman.
"There are some really cool candy-cane-striped beets I'm having planted also, so it's pretty exciting," said Vasile.
No land? No problem. A place like the Tap Room is growing fresh herbs in the window. It's all part of a bigger picture to hopefully make Lancaster a healthier and fresher community.
Chefs love having the best possible products and hope their fresh ideas are something you'll be ordering to go.
"Not only is it convenient, it's also super fresh. I recommend everybody, if they can, to try to do it," said Vasile.
Wissler has already been contacted by other cities around the country who hope to model Lancaster's system for promoting urban restaurant gardening.

Florida lawyers continue to be targeted by Internet e-mail scammers who are trying to lure attorneys with the offer of good fees for what on the surface appears to be easy work collecting corporate debts or divorce settlements.
Lili Quintiliani, an assistant ethics counsel, said the Bar's Ethics Hotline continues to get several calls from lawyers who are unfamiliar with the scams. So far, the Bar hasn't gotten any reports of lawyers who have been successfully scammed. But in a couple cases, she said lawyers didn't realize they were being duped until they took a check to the bank and were informed it was fake.
In other cases, lawyers called the hotline with a trust accounting question on handling a check they had received, and Bar staff told them it was a scam.
Quintiliani said there seems to be a trend away from the business collection type of scheme and more into collaborative family law where the "client" is seeking help collecting a fictional divorce settlement. In these cases, the scammer pretends to be a divorced spouse — usually a woman — who is owed a substantial settlement, typically well into six figures, and wants the attorney to help collect it.
The attorney writes a letter and a check quickly arrives. The "client" asks the lawyer to deposit the check in the attorney's trust account and forward the balance after deducting a fee. The catch, of course, is the check eventually bounces. For some lawyers in other states, that has happened after they sent the proceeds to the scammer with the result their trust accounts were out of balance by six figures.
While banks advised lawyers presenting the fraudulent check to contact authorities about the scam, lawyers have asked the Bar if attorney-client rules might prevent that.
Quintiliani has blunt advice in those situations: "If a person perpetrated a fraud on the attorney in order to form an attorney-client relationship, then there is no attorney-client relationship."
The divorce scam is a variation of the business debt collection scheme that has been around for a bit longer. In that scenario, a business or an individual pretending to be an officer of a business contacts a lawyer to collect a debt, which is usually done after writing a letter. In some cases, the "debtor" sends a check to the lawyer even before a letter is sent. The creditor then asks the lawyer to forward the proceeds after taking out a fee, but again the check is bogus and the scammer is counting on the lawyer sending the money before the bank rejects the check. Many of those cases involve contacts ostensibly from China or the Far East, Quintiliani said. She said she has also heard of an estate scam. Overall, she said the Ethics Hotline is averaging around an inquiry a day from lawyers being targeted.
It's not just Florida. Quintiliani said bars around the country have been warning their members of the dangers of the e-mail schemes. The Oklahoma Bar Association put on a seminar for its members on e-mail scams in December.
She said there are several things lawyers can do to protect themselves. One is to do a Google search on the name of the e-mail sender, or key phrases from the e-mail, since scammers usually send out thousands of e-mails using the same assumed name. Quintiliani said there are now Internet sites set up to track such scams aimed at lawyers, and the search will likely link up to such a site if the scam e-mail is listed there. She noted one fraud scheme appropriated the name of a well-known Japanese sumo wrestler (without his knowledge).
Lawyers, if they have the know-how, can also search the origin of the e-mail's I.P. (Internet protocol) address. Some e-mails supposedly sent from Japan or China actually originated in Nigeria or other countries, Quintiliani said.
Another is to check sites that are now dedicated to tracking those scams or proving some examples of scam e-mails. She listed three:
• http://scamoftheday.com/wordpress/2009/10/11/divorce-settlement-collaborative-law-agreement/
Quintiliani also said lawyers can consult a memo the Oklahoma Bankers Association sent out to that state's lawyers that gives good advice about dealing with e-mail fraud schemes. The advice includes: Be wary of anyone doing business at a distance and who is reluctant to talk on the phone or uses a TDD device (for the hearing impaired) for such conversations.
Also, be alert if the client continually pushes for a quick disbursement of the funds; they're trying to get your money before their check is returned as a fake.
If you don't have personal experience with the client, ask your bank to determine the validity of the check when you present it; don't simply deposit it, because the bank has no way of knowing there may be a problem and likely won't know until it is returned. That probably will be well after funds have been disbursed to the scammer.
The full text of that memo can be found at:

The end of any excavation is usually an experience outside the normal routine of the dig; this seems to be especially the case in academic excavations, where many of the participants may have left prior to the final day due to other commitments. This was at least the case this year at the site of Teleac; a late Bronze Age hillfort in the Transylvanian region of Romania, run by the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin (DAI). I was taking part in the field school as a PhD student of the Forging Identities project.
On the last day on site we were down to a rather small team, which meant that I was the only student to go up to site, whilst the others stayed at base camp to finish tasks there, such as packing up the artefacts. I got a lift to site with the Bulgarian geomagnetics team; these guys were surveying the site with equipment that can detect differences in the magnetic field of the ground, which means that archaeological features such as ditches can be seen through their difference to the surrounding undisturbed soil. Since we arrived a little later than usual, we had missed the tractor which usually pulled all the equipment up to site; therefore we had to carry everything up the steep hill where the site is located by ourselves. This was facilitated by carrying the magnetometer without its case.
Once I finally made it up the hill along the slippery, muddy track to the site, it had started raining pretty heavily. It was then my job to draw the section of a sondage; this means drawing the vertical face of the small but fairly deep trench we had dug in a corner of the overall excavation area, whose purpose had been to find out how deep the cultural deposits of the site went before reaching the natural, undisturbed soil of the hill below.
Once I had completed my drawings, I helped the local workmen (high school students earning a bit of holiday money by helping out on site) with back-filling the excavation area. This means putting back all the soil we removed over the course of the fieldwork, so that the site is protected until used again, and no animals or people can get hurt falling into the deeper parts of the trench.
Thanks to the rain, it was no longer possible for the tractor to safely make it back up the hill to collect us and the equipment, so we had a long, muddy walk back down the hill again, taking great care not to slip or fall.
Back at the home base, various final tasks were being completed in between power cuts caused by the thunderstorm…
After at last managing to find enough time between power outages to shower, it was finally time to pack my own things and have a last farewell drink with what was left of the team. The end of another good season, and for me – time to think about my journey to the next one!

Luis Miguel -- Baby Mama Wants Pesos for Child Support
Luis Miguel is good at making kids ... but paying for them -- we're told not so much.
Here's the backstory ... L.M. hooked up with Aracely Arambula, a very hot Telenovela star. They sacked up in Bev Hills for 5 years and produced 2 kids -- Miguel, who is now 6, and Daniel, who's 4.
Things happened, and the couple split 3 years ago. Aracely moved back to Mexico with the kids.
Now here's the problem. We're told Luis Miguel has been absent in multiple ways -- he hasn't seen the kids in 6 months, and he's not paying regular child support, although we're told he does give Aracely some money here and there. But we're told Aracely is upset because she has no financial support she can rely on.
It's not like Luis Miguel is on the rocks professionally. He performs all the time, and apparently has plenty of dinero.
We reached out to Luis Miguel's rep. So far, no word back.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

Happy Thanksgiving!
The holiday madness begins, but if you want to get away from it for a while, and you�re looking for a cozy place where you can meet friends and linger for an extended, relaxing chat, head to The Bean Counter Coffee Bar & Bakery, 113 Highland St., Worcester.
Owner/pastry chef Alice Lombardi remodeled the Worcester location several months ago, introducing a new look to �great fanfare.�
Lombardi said she started planning for the remodeling more than four years ago. It took several more years before designs and construction were realized, she said.
�We hired Diana Cress, owner of Divine Designs, who provides interior design to the hotel industry throughout New England, to help create a relaxing, upbeat and trendy coffee house,� said Lombardi. �The floor was the hardest part of the remodel, and it took six workers, including myself, to rip up five layers of old flooring.
�Dan Mierzejewski, owner of Classic Flooring, spent two weeks putting down bamboo floors with inlaid mosaic tiles. Our customers are thrilled with the result.�
The Worcester location seats about 23; a new �quiet area� is to the right of the entrance. The tin ceilings remain, but the walls were redone in soothing hues. �Customers really appreciate the fact that the store doesn�t have an industrial look,� said Lombardi. Local artists are welcome to display works in the store, she said.
One of the most important parts of the remodel is the improved wait time for customers, according to Lombardi, who also owns and operates the Bean Counter Coffee Bar & Bakery, 288 Boston Turnpike (Route 9) and Black Diamond Coffee, 307 Grafton St., both in Shrewsbury. She has 50 employees.
About the business: Lombardi said she only buys Direct Trade coffee, which is �better than Fair Trade.�
The Worcester location has a new espresso machine that was built for the business by one of the world�s leading makers of espresso machines from Europe.
Lombardi said, �We also make our own premium, all-natural chocolate sauce for our mocha, using premium Swiss chocolate, made all-natural with no preservatives.� A demitasse serving of warm chocolate is available for sipping.
It was about 15 years ago when as food editor of the Telegram & Gazette I first introduced Lombardi to the newspaper�s readers. A businesswoman with an industrial engineering background, Lombardi loves what she does and readily accepts challenges. Quality remains her trademark, she said.
Lombardi�s husband, Domenico, and their children Domenico and Marianna, continue to work in the business whenever they can. �The children are grown, but they still pitch in to help,� said Lombardi. �It�s a family business.�
The Bean Counter Coffee Bar & Bakery specializes in custom wedding cakes and won the �Best of the Knot� award in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and Wedding Wire Bride�s Choice awards in 2011 and 2012.

You�ll find a variety of gluten-free and vegan baked goods available daily at the Bean Counter locations.
Lombardi said she and the pastry chefs are excited about the holiday season, creating Buche de Noel cakes with meringue mushrooms, butter cream poinsettia, holly leaves, berries and sugar snow. Assorted flavors will be available and made fresh to order, she said.
Holiday cookie trays also are popular, said Lombardi, who explained that many of the special cookies are only offered once a year because they are so labor intensive.
Orders for cakes, pastries, etc., can be placed at both Bean Counter locations. Check out items such as Chocolate Kahlua Fantasy, Peanut Butter Pyramid and the Chocolate Truffle Bomb.
Snowflake Cake is a favorite at the bakery. Lombardi created the recipe based on her own wedding cake.
Fans of the cake claim it�s �love at first bite!�

Yankee Magazine�s November/December issue included great holiday recipes and a sampler from Yankee�s Lost and Vintage Recipes, on sale now for $9.99.
Yankee�s Crisp-Chewy Waffle-Iron Brownies is one of the �lost� recipes that first ran in a 1953 issue of Yankee, appearing in a story called �Recipes from Old �Receipt� Books� by Nancy Dixon.
What makes this recipe so special is that the waffle iron gives the brownies crispy edges, but the inside remains rich and fudgy.
Here the recipe, courtesy of Yankee Magazine:
Note: You need to let the brownies sit for a minute on the hot, opened iron before trying to remove them. Otherwise they will be too soft and likely to crumble.
Preheat waffle iron. In the bowl of a standing mixer, cream 1/2 cup salted butter (at room temperature) and 1-1/4 cups sugar until fluffy. Add 3 squares melted, unsweetened (baker�s) chocolate and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir. Add 2 large beaten eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add dry ingredients to chocolate mixture and stir just until evenly combined.
When the waffle iron is ready, spray or brush with vegetable oil, such as canola. Drop a heaping tablespoonful of batter into the center of each grid on the iron. Close the lid and cook until the brownies are crisp and dry on the outside, 4 to 6 minutes, depending on the iron (check after 4 minutes). Open the waffle iron and let brownies sit for 1 to 2 minutes, until firm enough to remove (don�t skip this step). Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Repeat with remaining batter. Makes 10 to 12 brownies.

The Northern Columbia Basin Railroad Project is a proposed rail construction project to promote economic development in the Moses Lake area. The purpose of the proposed Northern Columbia Basin Railroad (NCBR) Project is to provide rail service to lands designated for industrial development in the northern part of the City of Moses Lake as well as to the south and east of the Grant County International Airport (GCIA), to enhance opportunities for economic development, and to attract new rail-dependent businesses to those areas. The Northern Columbia Basin Railroad Project Feasibility Study (pdf 5.4 mb)was conducted in 2006.
The Final Environmental Assessment (pdf 3.6 mb) was issued in May 2009 and submitted to the Surface Transportation Board (STB) for decision. The STB issued their decision later that year, giving permission for Segments 1, 2 and 3 of the project to go ahead, subject to the mitigation elements contained in their ruling. Below is further environmental documentation:
Why is WSDOT studying and engineering rail improvements in the Moses Lake area?
The Port of Moses Lake and other local groups believe that rail improvements in the area will support economic development and attract new rail-dependent businesses to Moses Lake.
The Washington State Legislature directed WSDOT to work with the Port of Moses Lake and the federal Surface Transportation Board (STB) to develop the required environmental documents for this project. The agencies began the environmental review process in spring 2007. Following the July 2007 public open house, the project team continued to gather information and analyze the results. In November 2008, the Preliminary Environmental Assessment was issued for public review and comment. The final environmental document was completed in 2009.
The End Result
The proposed project includes the construction of two new rail lines (Segments 1 and 2) and the acquisition and refurbishment of an existing rail segment (Segment 3) to provide rail access to land designated and zoned for industrial use along Wheeler Road (Road 2 NE) and the GCIA.
The Northern Columbia Basin Railroad project includes the following:

Officials have repeatedly lied claiming new devices do not show genitalia
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Friday, May 7, 2010
The monumental public relations cover-up being run by the TSA and other airport security authorities worldwide in claiming that the naked body scanners do not show crisp images of genitalia has once again been exposed with the story of a TSA worker in Miami who attacked a colleague who had made fun of his small penis after he passed through a scanner device.
"Perhaps the new airport body scanners are a bit too revealing. A TSA worker in Miami was arrested for aggravated battery after police say he attacked a colleague who'd made fun of his small genitalia after he walked through one of the new high-tech security scanners during a recent training session," reports NBC Miami.
44-year-old Rolando Negrin beat his supervisor with a police baton after he had cracked jokes about Negrin's small manhood when he walked through a naked scanner as part of a training exercise at Miami International Airport.
"The attack may be the first piece of proof that the new scanners may be leaving too little to the imagination," states the report.
The most important facet of this story, which once again the corporate media has failed to even mention, just as they failed to highlight it following a similar controversy in March when an airport worker at Heathrow was caught ogling a woman's breasts, is the fact that, despite a barrage of propaganda on behalf of the government claiming that the images produced do not show sensitive areas of the body in detail, penises and breasts are clearly visible.
The aggressive campaign on behalf of governments and the media to sell the public on invasive body scanners has been accompanied by the reassurance that the devices do not show details of genitals, an obvious attempt to counter the fact that the machines do represent a virtual strip search as well as violating laws against child pornography.
Despite assurances from the TSA that the scanners do not show the shape of genitalia, sample images from their own website clearly display the outline of the penis.
The TSA has also lied in claiming the body scanner systems cannot "store, print, transmit or save the image". In reality, as Wired News reported, "Contrary to public statements made by the Transportation Security Administration, full-body airport scanners do have the ability to store and transmit images, according to documents obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center."
As we have exhaustively emphasized, the body scanners do allow airport workers to see intricate details of your body – penis length, breast size, implants, piercings, including crystal clear naked shots of your children. The fact that authorities initially lied and denied this was the case as part of the agenda to hastily install scanners after the staged Christmas bombing incident was clearly a case of mass public deception and one of the primary reasons why the scanners need to be removed now.
The press collaborated in the scam by only ever showing scanner images with sensitive areas blurred out, misleading the public to think that this is what airport screeners also saw. Early images that were used to convince the public that the scanners were not an invasion of privacy included examples such as the following, which is clearly completely unrepresentative of what the scanners really show.
Airport security staff workers are among the least trustworthy people to operate these machines. These individuals are routinely caught abusing their authority for their own ego trip or sexual perversion.
As the video below illustrates, the fact that naked body scanner machines in the U.S. are manned by TSA thugs who are routinely caught abusing their power in treating the public like prison inmates only heightens the danger posed by the use abuse of the new devices.
People in the United States need to lobby for states to pass laws nullifying use of the body scanners as a threat to privacy, health, and a total violation of human dignity, a virtual strip search that wouldn't even have stopped the Christmas day bomber who was allowed to board the plane as a result of a U.S. State Department directive.
Indeed, Israeli experts in airport securityhave dismissed the devices as "useless" and refused to even consider their introduction.
Idaho is leading the revolt, by passing a law that limits the use of the x-ray scanning devices in airports and government buildings and also forces Homeland Security to disprove health concerns.
Not only have authorities in Europe promised to roll out mobile body scanners on the streets to mass scan crowds of people, but Homeland Security has even gone a step further, developing Orwellian mind-reading devices that are set to be installed as part of unconstitutional checkpoints at public events.
Watch the winning entry of our recent body scanner contest below.

Wiring caused fire at Pa. warehouse holding props
Faulty wiring is being blamed for a fire at a Philadelphia warehouse where a string band stores its props for the city's annual Mardi Gras-like New Year's Day parade.
Fire department Commissioner Lloyd Ayers says Monday's blaze at the south Philadelphia warehouse was caused by permanent wiring and originated near the back of an auto shop at the site. One person was hospitalized.
Members of the Fralinger (FRAY'-lin-jer) String Band said Tuesday they found their props wet but undamaged. Fralinger is one of many clubs that participate in the Mummers Parade each Jan. 1. The band says it will definitely still participate in this year's parade.
The parade features thousands of performers wearing elaborate costumes and often is described as Philadelphia's Mardi Gras.

Other methods of application include, sending your resume by email, mailing your resume to an address, or calling up the employer.
Why do I have to go to the employer's website to finish applying for a job?
AJE is a facilitator in this respect and has the responsibility to reach out to maximum potential candidates like you through our job portal.

An employer I applied to told me they're not accepting applications. Why is the job on your site?
There are rare occasions that you will come across such a situation. The possible reason is that the position has already been filled at the employer's end and they are in the process of removing that job from our website.

Why am I unable to apply for a position?
There could be a couple of reasons for that. The position may be already filled at the employer's end, hence the position is closed. The link to the job on the employer website could be broken. In this case, please flag the job and we will request the employer to contact you directly.
I clicked on a link in an email and came to an expired job on your site. What do I do now?
Since the job is expired, you will not be able to apply for this job. There will be a link right below the Job Title, Company Name and Location that says "This job is no longer active.

Wisconsin Badgers Tickets
The Wisconsin Badgers are supervised by the former head coach of the football team, director Barry Alvarez. The team mascot is popularly known as "Bucky Badger" but its actual title is "Buckingham U. Badger". When the lead miners arrived at Wisconsin in the 1820s and 1830s, the state was labeled the "Badger State". The name was apt since the miners had to seek shelter into hillsides in burrowed tunnels just like the badgers in the absence of natural cover in the cruel winter season. The University of Wisconsin assumed the badger mascot in 1889. A strutting and scowling badger donning a double-colored striped jersey was kept as emblem which was designed in 1940 by Art Evans and revised in the early 2000s.
At the first few football games, a real badger was displayed but since it was too wild to be controlled, hence it was sent to a nearby Zoo. A live raccoon was also used to complement the team's image for a while. At the turn of the year 2006, the Mascot Hall of Fame's College Division inducted Bucky Badger.
Wisconsin Badgers football program ranks the Big Ten as the most booming since the early 1990s. It is also the same time when Barry Alvarez started serving as the head coach. The Badgers emerged as winners in three Big Ten Championships under him. They also secured victory in three Rose Bowls. The Badgers overcame the Auburn Tigers in the 2005 season which was also the last year of Alvarez with the team. Bret Bielema assumed the coaching of the team in 2006 and he led the team to a striking 17-4 win over Arkansas in the Capital One Bowl besides establishing a 12-1 record. The Badgers have contributed to fourteen bowl appearances in the past 15 seasons and command a 10-10 in bowl games. Two Heisman Trophy winners have also fell evolved in the domain of the Badger football program, including running back Ron Dayne in 1999 and fullback Alan Ameche in 1954.
The home ground of the Wisconsin Badgers football team is Camp Randall Stadium. It is the 4th-oldest college football stadium in the country built in 1917 which can seat more than eighty thousand spectators. Camp Randall is also recognized since its student section is regarded as one of the finest in all of college football. The stadium presents many invigorating traditions including "Jump Around", which is the House of Pain song presented as part of a well-known student celebration that takes place at the end of the third quarter of every home game. At the end of every game, the Marching Band of the University renders a mesmerizing performance of its "Fifth Quarter".
Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball is on record as the team with a winning streak. It has succeeded to the Final Four twice in its history. The first time was in 1941 and the second time was as recent as 2000.
Seeing is believing! You should attend some of the sports of this University to experience the best there is. Do not dump Wisconsin Badgers Tickets!

I've personally had a big beef with carriers, specifically with their contradictory push towards faster mobile networks while providing significantly smaller amounts of data. With the next generation of cellular networks hitting up to 50mbps download speeds today, consumers can reach their 2GB data caps in as little as 5 minutes.
As if that weren't bad enough, cellular networks have the gumption to tell us how we can and can't use that data, with many carriers either outright blocking tethering (using your smartphone's data connection to power your tablet or laptop computer), or offering the service as a separate package, often with $ 15-20 additional monthly fees. Members of the modding community have been able to get around that requirement by rooting their devices, though at least T-Mobile has figured out a way to detect rooted users, and has already started blocking tethering on rooted devices.
A new application by modding-community staple Koushik Dutta, ClockworkMod Tether, aims to benefit both rooted and non-rooted smartphones alike by allowing them to tether their laptop and desktop computers using a process which is (at least currently) undetectable by the carriers. ClockworkMod Tether uses a proxy instead of an NAT/masquerade solution to avoid carrier detection.
Because ClockworkMod Tether supports both rooted and non-rooted devices, the process requires you to install an application on the computer you'd like tethered. Applications have been developed for PC, Mac, and Linux, allowing a broad array of computer users the ability to tether their mobile data connection. A slight inconvenience to be sure, but the application is needed to support non-rooted users.
ClockworkMod Tether is currently in Alpha, though it is being constantly updated. If you're interested in checking it out for yourself, all files and installation instructions can be found on Koush's Google+ posting. Because the process is in Alpha, there have been some issues with the program, including folks not being able to get it working on their devices.
If you do decide to test it out, let others know whether or not it worked for you in the comments. Be sure to include which device you're using so we can see if there are any trends.

'Breaking Bad' fans place Walter White obituary
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. >> Some fans of "Breaking Bad," the AMC series which concluded Sunday night, were inspired to place an obituary for character Walter White in the Albuquerque Journal.
The notice appears on page A4 of Friday's Journal. It's headlined "White, Walter" and includes a photo of Bryan Cranston, the actor who played the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin.
The obituary says the 52-year-old "founded a meth manufacturing empire" and he died "after a long battle with lung cancer and a gunshot wound."
The five-season series was set and filmed in Albuquerque.
Los Lunas science teacher David Layman, one of the members an unofficial fan group that placed the obit, says many are sad to see the show go. But he says the obit helps provide some closure.

THURSDAY, Nov. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Mammals began to grow much larger after dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago, a new study suggests.
An international team of researchers analyzed the fossils of major groups of land mammals on each continent and found that their size increased from a maximum of about 10 kilograms (22 pounds) when they shared the Earth with dinosaurs to a maximum of 17 tonnes (18.7 U.S. tons) after dinosaurs became extinct.
"Basically, the dinosaurs disappear and all of sudden there is nobody else eating the vegetation. That's an open food source and mammals start going for it, and it's more efficient to be an herbivore when you're big," study co-author Jessica Theodor, an associate professor in the biological sciences department at the University of Calgary, said in a university news release.
The findings also show that the global ecosystem is able to reset itself relatively quickly.
"You lose dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and within 25 million years the system is reset to a new maximum for the animals that are there in terms of body size. That's actually a pretty short time frame, geologically speaking. That's really rapid evolution," Theodor said.
The study is published in the Nov. 25 issue of the journal Science.

NOTE from DearMYRTLE: The following press release was received from author Terry Reigel. This week's podcast features an interview with him. Please address all inquiries to: firstname.lastname@example.com. "Software Saturday" this week will feature my take on the software.
Getting Started with The Master Genealogist is Now Easier than Ever New Book by Terry Reigel is Available
Boone, North Carolina - 8 February 2008 - ReigelRidge Press is proud to announce availability of a new book by Terry Reigel, "A Primer for The Master Genealogist." As the title implies, the book is intended to help new users quickly become comfortable with what is called the most comprehensive family history software available. The book provides the reader a foundation for working with The Master Genealogist (TMG), and is designed to help users understand just how they can best make use of its capabilities. Some more advanced features are introduced because many users move to TMG to take advantage of these features.
"As I have exchanged notes with new users of TMG in online forums, and talked with them in person at genealogy conferences, I have observed that many new users would appreciate some assistance in becoming comfortable with a program that is more capable, but also more complex, than their previous genealogy programs," said the author. "This guide is intended to fill that meet that need."
The book introduces the reader to TMG with the following topics:
- TMG's basic concepts
- Getting your initial data into TMG
- Finding your way around TMG
- Establishing personal standards for data entry
- Adding or editing people, events, and sources
- Creating Reports and Charts
For readers ready to explore more advanced features it continues with more advanced topics:
- Customizing the program's Screens
- Customizing Events and Sources
- Using Witnesses and Roles
- Understanding Projects and Data Sets
"This is a great introduction for new users!" says John Cardinal, author of Second Site, TMG Utility, and other companion programs for TMG. "Terry explains complicated topics in terms a beginner can understand, and he explains the concepts as well as the specific steps to make fast, effective use of TMG. Even experienced users will learn from this book, particularly in the chapters about more advanced topics. Terry's TMG Tips web site is a great resource for TMG users, and now Terry has expanded that with 'A Primer for The Master Genealogist'."
" 'A Primer for The Master Genealogist' is a 'must have' for the new user. With its easy to read format and multiple illustrations even those seemingly complex features and tasks are easy to understand," said Mark A. Cunningham, a TMG user for two months. "I wish I had had a copy of this book when I first started using The Master Genealogist."
The book is currently available from Wholly Genes Software in Columbia, Maryland, at www.whollygenes.com/primer.htm, and from Gould Genealogy in Modbury, Australia, at www.gould.com.au. The suggested retail price is $19.95 in the U.S. and AU$29.95, including GS Tax, in Australia. More information is available at www.reigelridge.com/press or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Author: The author is well known as an expert user of TMG and a frequent contributor to the on-line TMG user support forums. He is the author of Terry's TMG Tips, a website with over 75 articles, many also available in German. He has written several articles about TMG for newsletters published by user groups and two chapters in the sell-out book "Getting the Most Out of The Master Genealogist." He is not affiliated with Wholly Genes Software.

Click the cover to see the preview
December 1989
This is the original Knockabout collection Fat Freddy's Cat #7.
Fat Freddy's Cat began life as a footnote strip to the Freak Brothers and later appeared in many comics of his own. He is often to be found sleeping on the unfortunate Fat Freddy's head. His constant battles with the never-ending army of roaches out for world domination drive him to distraction, as does Fat Freddy's never-ending failure to feed him or empty his kitty litter box. As a result of this, his main hobbies seem to be shredding Fat Freddy's water bed and any other items he can sink his claws into, and finding places to leave surprise poop packages for Freddy to discover. This cat has variously gone travelling to Mexico, saved the world from alien invasion, and worked as a government agent in Washington trying to save the world from the "hee hee hee" drug. He has three nephews of unknown origin. He tends to regard the Freak Brothers with a fair bit of contempt, but despite the odd separation he always seems to hook back up with his inept roomies.
First published in this version in 1989
Alan Moore
•Author of From Hell, Watchmen, A Disease of Language
"Gilbert Shelton is as near as comics have come to producing a natural comedic genius of the same stature as a Chaplin or a Tati ... He is truly one of the greatest and most sublimely funny talents that the comic medium has to offer."
The Comics Journal
•American comics magazine
"One of the true greats of American underground comics. Back in the sixties he spliced the Three Stooges with the emerging counterculture and created the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers ... At their heels ... was Fat Freddy's Cat – a sarcastic, sexually voracious feline with a Jimmy Durante nose and a habit of clawing waterbeds." – Elliot Elam
The Guardian
•UK national newspaper
"There are still moments, decades after my first exposure to [these strips], and indeed after countless such exposures, when I am reduced to hopeless, tear-producing laughter." – Nicholas Lezard
